Take Your First Step Toward The Good Life
My first podcast about Analog: lessons on escaping the hamster wheel and choosing The Good Life.
If you’ve ever felt stuck—on the hamster wheel, working for somebody else, wondering if this is really it—this is for you.
I just recorded my very first podcast conversation about my new book Analog, and I want to share it with you. But more importantly, I want to share what it means for you.
Because Analog isn’t just my story—is a call to all of us to examine our our stories, and ask the question: am I on the right track for me?
Why This Matters to You
You might be tired of the rat race. I know what that feels like. I wrote Analog to show that you can take the leap—and that it’s worth it.
You might be afraid of failing. Me too. In the book, I share the 40+ businesses I started (many of them failures) and what I learned so you can succeed sooner.
You might be longing for more agency. That’s what this journey is about—putting your hands back on the wheel of your own life.
What You’ll Hear in the Podcast
In this first conversation (recorded with my friend Clark Buckner in Nashville), we cover:
Growing up in Africa and watching my dad dedicate his life to service
Surviving Katrina and building community in New Orleans
Hitting burnout during COVID and choosing to reflect, reset, and write
Finding joy again in live music, love, fatherhood, and small analog practices
Most importantly—what it actually takes to build The Good Life
An Invitation
This isn’t just my story. It’s an invitation for you to pause, reflect, and ask:
👉 What’s one step you could make that would bring you closer to your version of The Good Life?
I’d love to hear your answer. Drop it in the comments—I’ll read and respond.

I really appreciate all of your support, it was amazing to be with so many friend in New Orleans, Nashville and Jackson Hole last week to announce Analog. Thank you for being part of this journey, let’s get living the good life, together.
Here’s to building a life you don’t want to retire from,
