Shane wasn’t mad at coffee, he was disappointed. He was sold the dream that coffee would allow him to do more and do it faster. But, he noticed that he was reliant on it just to get to baseline. The jitters, the anxiety, shitty sleep. He loved the ritual, but questioned whether it was helping or hindering his mental and physical performance. So he created Mud.

First of all, I’m sorry for your loss. I guess yesterday was a very dramatic reminder that NOTHING really lasts forever.
Secondly, SHAME ON YOU for speaking ill of Cloud Atlas! After The Matrix, it is definitely my favorite Wachowsky movie of all time. Seriously, how can one criticize a movie that mentions Carlos Castañeda?? That is just not cool.
right on man. I have just discovered your site & this was a great first listen.
thank you Chris & Shane (props to the mental health nod within the art / homelessness talk)
all my best from Lynchburg, Virginia
