I love that these are dropped in the morning! Perfect for getting ready for the day. Keep up the good work!

Some inner thoughts after watching:
- Yes, we should definitely have more podcasts
- This format of podcast (video call / both cams) brings me mentally closer to the speakers, where seeing both expressions and not only audio surfaces my empathy
- Yes, Aaron is in my mind at least owner of his own empire and he can do whatever fits his taste in his empire as he should (I like the phrasing of it). We all should realize this about our own little empires more often and take the driver wheel in our hands with less fear of diverging.

Thanks for this episode. I'm in the same situation as a newish dad and the existential tiredness is real.
This podcast has been super helpful to me since I started listening a few months back.

I would back your kickstarter for sure!

Great chat, you both always have such a high vibe even when feeling down your energy is up.
I wish someday I'll give a similar vibe.
About Elon:
I didn't read his book but did you mean sympathetic or empathetic?
If it's sympathetic I get more a picture boosting his ego.
If not easy mistake tho.

probably more tired because of the heat

I mean, you can be on Twitch and not be like most, there's plenty of less popular people that just chill there.
You can do it and grow differently, probably you won't grow as fast but you'll probably grow more healthily (both in consistency and in your mental).
Being the "twitch type" just makes the growth faster, but it can be as healthy as YT or other platforms.
IMHO

Look at @ryansolid (Ryan Carniato), the guy just chills and talks tech, and his community is IMO very loyal.

I offer $3.5 for the podcast
