Lex Fridman interviewed me

Lex Fridman interviewed me for his podcast. We had a fun and wide-ranging conversation about my startup philosophy, doing 12 startups in 12 months, indie hacking, AI, traveling and depression, minimalism, e/acc, and a lot more.

It's up in full on X, and on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else you get podcasts.
