Alex Sheshunoff is a disarmingly funny, Faulkner Society award winning writer who has been featured in Slate, National Geographic Adventure, and Marketplace on NPR. In this episode, he talks with John about A Beginner's Guide to Paradise, his memoir (from Penguin Random House). He explains the process of transitioning out of the wildly successful NY-based start-up whiz kid life that he didn't want into the role of adventurer and author. He talks us through some of the things that make him human: curiosity, risk, love, mischief, kids, and questions that don't have answers.
With permission of Ropeadope Records, this episode features a bit of Tacuma Bradely's Unity Band song Let it Ride off the album Joint Effort.

Tilden Yamamoto, mastermind behind Tildenshop, talks with John about his unique approach to fashion design, his commitment to old-world craftsmanship, and his tech savvy business model. He designs and sews all of his clothes - himself! - on an old fashioned single needle sewing machine, but he has a modern global mindset and international distribution through uses of technology like Instagram. Tilden is doing something that nobody else is doing, and by learning about who he is, his motivations become clear. Impeccable construction. Hard to source fabrics. Clothing as art? Yep. Pretty much, both in process and product.
