Dialogue on Dialogue

Why Dialogue (Again)

I still love podcasts.

Something magical happens when you listen to a long, wandering conversation between people who are genuinely curious and willing to think out loud. It feels like you’re sitting at the table with them—coffee in hand, half the thoughts unfinished, all of them honest.

Here’s the twist: I’m now over 50, which apparently means I’m either supposed to have everything figured out… or finally admit that I don’t.

So this is me starting something new—again.

This version of Dialogue on Dialogue is part midlife experiment, part creative reboot, and part very public attempt to think more carefully about how we live, work, argue, improve, and occasionally get stuck. Lately, that’s taken the form of a self-improvement project inspired by some very old recordings, some very modern problems, and the sneaking suspicion that the questions that bothered people 60 years ago are still bothering us now.

I’m not a guru. I’m not optimized. I am absolutely figuring this out as I go.

What I am is curious. About ideas. About people. About why we keep repeating the same mistakes and why, every once in a while, something clicks and life gets a little better. This podcast is a place to think out loud, summarize what I’m learning, laugh at myself, and occasionally invite others along for the ride.

Thanks for indulging this project. I still believe the best way to understand a technology—or an idea—is to jump in with both feet and see what happens. And if nothing else, when I’m even older and more forgetful than I am now, I’ll have a record of what I was wrestling with, who inspired me, and what I thought mattered.

Your friend (still),
