Bradley Lovell () is my friend with whom I've hiked across America on the Pacific Crest Trail, traveled to Nepal to live with a spiritual teacher, and who continues to inspire me to this day.

Thinking with David

I’m extremely pleased to release this truth-telling, marathon-of-a-podcast featuring two of my closest college fraternity brothers and present-day homies, Bradley Lovell () and Alex Skold (). This episode gets better and better as it goes along and those who stick around until the end will be greatly rewarded. We spend the first hour of the podcast in disagreement while attempting to sync up, a somewhat frustrating display of poor communication skills on all ends until Alex had to dip. From there, Bradley and I proceed onward, analyzing what went wrong, then dive into sharing deeply personal...

Thinking with David

Malcolm “Lil Bird” MacDuffie () is a hip-hop artist, meditator, and friend. I’ve been a fan of Lil Bird and his music for the last year, so when he agreed to come on the podcast, I was stoked.

In our conversation, Malcolm pulls back the curtain to reveal his musical process as we discuss the importance of opening up to others, sharing your true self, the influence of meditation and isolation on his creativity, and the formation of his most recent...
