In this episode, I interview my pal Henry.
Henry is actually a childhood friend. There’s something about people who you have known for 30 years, give or take. I guess they become a sort of family as well. We grew up together, went to school together, became Boy Scouts and then Eagle Scouts together, and tried to figure out how to look and dress cool as as teenager together. Spoiler alert: long bangs were NOT the answer.
Henry is one of the most superlative people I know, because no matter what you can think of, he lives by extremes and contrarian views. For instance, refusing to eat broccoli for years, staying awake for 96 hours just to prove a point, and not wearing more than a t-shirt and shorts in 40-degree (f) weather. We discuss why.
Henry is in the middle of an "Eat Pray Love" phase of his life, I finally convinced him to visit Bangkok, and experience a bit of life outside of the US. in a former life, he was one of the founders of a gaming startup that got acqui-hired and software engineer.
In this episode, we talk about why he thinks he is a combination of Ewan McGregor and Kevin Costner, how his avoidance of expectation has shaped his life, why his favorite word right now is ABIDE, and his ongoing exploration of disposable friendships and conversations.
