Synopsis

Here is part one of my fantastic conversation with TIME Magazine columnist Joel Stein! Topics discussed: Social anxiety as an extrovert Wanting to be liked Mid-life crisis The freedom of not needing your work to outlive you Raising a child and what one learns about human growth Why my plan for Instagram success will fail   Some quotes from this episode: “I’m embarrassed not to have herpes.” “When I’m a dick, I think it’s likable?” “I exceeded my dreams in my 20’s and coasted ever since.” (On striving for immortality through your work): “See a therapist…that’s ego narcissism; that’s craziness. If you’re the President of the United States, odds are in 30 years no one will be able to name you. “Parenting is so reactive. I thought it would be so proactive, but it’s basically just triage all the time.” “[Having a kid] didn’t ruin my life like people told me it would.” "I just know men are horrible." Joel will be back next week with part 2 of our conversation, where things get only more intense, and more sexual.
