On this episode of Off the Clock, I’m joined by my friend Kyle, who’s a professional creative, a friend of like 3 decades, a dad and a fellow entrepreneur. Here’s some of what we talk about:

• First question: Senior year of high school Kyle from 25 years ago time travels to the present day, how does he feel about your life?
• knocking on the doors of places you used to live and how much people love that
• tattoos! what do they mean? why do we get them? and the d-bags that hate them!
• recognizing when you’re unfulfilled in your life/career and how you address that
• the AppleTV+ show Severance and how cruel it would be to make your innie hungover
• alcohol as a crutch / addiction to cigarettes / the constant struggle of sobriety / dissociation / how to handle adversity / substituting one vice for another
• why I found acting unfulfilling and why I don’t need to invent new neuroses
• neurotic body image crap and how we can be kinder to ourselves
• why it’s important to be comfortable being shitty at a hobby and why we don’t need to monetize everything
• strip clubs and “strip club guys”
• Kyle’s best piece of advice for other dads

Find Kyle at Yond Studio.
