A friend who was ahead of me in school landed a job at the New Yorker and told me about an opening for an assistant. That’s how I started at the New Yorker.""I remember right around the time I got my first iPhone, there was this weird icon I didn’t know. I found Rachel Maddow and started listening to a ton of her podcasts. For years, that was the only podcast I knew about until things developed in that space.""When I started making Lost Hills, just being able to bring people’s voices to the listeners was so cool to me.

"I think the interesting thing about growing up in a rural area is that you're generally expected to know how to do things. I can drive a tractor, change brakes, and even replace an engine. It's just part of the lifestyle.""When I started my podcast, I didn't have a plan. I was reading a lot of personal development books and thought, wouldn't it be cool to learn from the authors? It wasn't about making money; it was about having meaningful conversations.""The pandemic was a turning point for me. I saw a lot of poor management and encroachment on civil rights. I realized that talking to another best-selling author wasn't going to address these issues. I wanted to have real conversations about what's happening in the world and how to navigate it."Resources Mentioned

"Growing up in New York is amazing. I didn't learn to drive until my twenties, which shocks a lot of people, but for a New Yorker, that's par for the course. You could just do whatever, and it was very freeing in that sense.""I think my passion that I discovered in college was actually documentary filmmaking. I had pretty grand ambitions of making feature films, but I got lucky. I also wrote for the college paper, the Harvard Crimson, and my first job out of college combined journalism and video production.""The hardest part was tracking and writing narration. Writing is hard, and it's even a higher bar when people can't see what the place looks like. The sound can help describe it, but you have to write to that too."Resources Mentioned

Tweetable Quotes
"I started my podcast, the one that I currently have that's now called 'We're All in This Together,' back in 2016. The plan was just to do some interviews for my book. Once I was done researching for the book, I was going to be done with the podcast. But I got done writing the book, and I was still liking the podcast and enjoying the conversations, so I just kept going with it.""I ended up choosing to go to Stanford even though I was scared. It was such a good decision for me because what I learned when I got there was that it was better to be in an environment where I was a bit intimidated and felt like the players were even better around me because it forced me to step up.""For me, it's not a huge money maker or a big marketing funnel. It's just something that I like doing, I feel like I'm good at, and I think it reaches some people. It gives me a platform to share ideas, interview interesting people, and talk about topics that matter to me. It's an extension of my larger brand and a way to connect with my audience."Resources Mentioned

"I've moved a whole room in our house. I relocated here because the lighting's better, and I can look outside at trees and birds instead of just a wall.""That's when I quit my job as a lawyer to work on a podcasting product with three other guys in a tiny room. It ended up working out really well for us.""We finally launched an iOS app for Buzzsprout after years of requests. We were convinced over time by hearing various use cases and thinking of some ourselves."Resources Mentioned
