Fortunately for me the Woz loves jokes, humor and comedy in general so after sending him several heart felt e-mails requesting to chat with him he agreed, so last week while I was performing in San Francisco I drove down to Cupertino to record this conversation while him.

Join Tom Rhodes and bestie Ashna Rodjan!
From Sara’s visit to humorous attempts at parallel parking in San Francisco, explore how classical music can connect with the homeless, the challenges of playing Scrabble in a foreign language, and the importance of self-awareness and resilience in building confidence.
Ashna discusses the cultural differences in conversational styles between the USA and Europe and expresses concern over the potential loss of collective culture due to on-demand art creation. However, hope shines through with Radio Garden, an app that reignites the curiosity and wonder and Tom’s new favorite social account called Goodmorning Badass.
Listen as they share wisdom from unexpected sources, like New York taxi drivers and even a fake Jesus in Israel, and learn about the power of gratitude in transforming negative thoughts, inspired by advice from a para-athlete.
This episode is a blend of humor and seriousness, providing insights and reflections on life, relationships, and the subtle art of cherishing every moment. Don't miss these engaging stories and the lessons they hold about the human experience.
Hooray for humanity!
