We already can't trust the news, now we can't trust our own eyes? Have we given up our freedom of choice to computers? Will unchecked algorithms shape what we see, and therefore how we think? This and more in today's episode.

Moving from Dallas to Nashville, driving for Uber, & aphantasia

We're baaaaaack!!! Took a tiny little break for basically a full year so we could move and change jobs, yay adulting is so fun and not stressful at all! In this episode we discuss our move from Dallas to Nashville, driving for Uber until we can build up our freelancing network, and how visual thinking impacts our everyday lives and creative processes.

Money, generosity, and the wedding industry

How much money is enough? In this episode we discuss the psychology of money, our personal approach to money, and cultural differences around generosity and individualism. We also discuss the pit of hell called the wedding industry, and how weddings in Daniel’s home country are funded by the whole community instead of the individual family or couple.
