Zuby

This time, we sat down with Zuby (@ZubyMusic), a professional rapper, podcast host, public speaker, and an overall creative entrepreneur. He recently gained a massive amount of attention by destroying the British Women’s Deadlift and Bench record. The video of him doing so currently has over 1.7 million views on Twitter and he’s been invited to speak on platforms like The Candace Owens Show, Louder with Crowder, The Ben Shapiro Show, and more. How did HE break the women’s records and why did he do it? We’ll get into that soon.

An Oxford graduate with a degree in computer science, Zuby quit his corporate job to become a full time, independent music artist. Since then, he has sold over 25,000 albums and recently surpassed 100k followers on Twitter alone. As a British Nigerian who grew up in Saudi Arabia, Zuby has a unique perspective of how different cultures operate. What’s normal to you is not normal to everyone else, something that I am still learning every day.

On this episode, Zuby and I get into the mindset behind breaking the Women’s British lifting records, the modern-day attack on free speech, waxing balls in women’s salons, his music career, how to talk to strangers, and more. Without further ado, I hope that you never experience getting your balls waxed and please enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Zuby.

Cole Cuchna (Host of Dissect)

On to this week’s episode. This time Cole Cuchna, host of the Dissect podcast, sat down with us. Dissect is one of the most popular podcasts out there today. In Cole’s words, “Dissect picks one album per season and analyzes one song per episode, measure by measure, word by word.

Last year, Dissect got picked up by Spotify and Cole know makes a living off of creating the show, which puts him in an elite group of podcasters. But that was far from the case at the start of Dissect. Cole started the first season with Kendrick Lamar in his basement, while caring for a family, and working full time as the creative director of a coffee shop. He somehow managed to spend 20 hours on each episode to get it just right. 20 hours for the love of the podcast, on each episode, everything himself, and he had no idea how big this would become.

I am a regular listener of the Dissect podcast and it was an honor to speak with Cole for over an hour. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is changing the culture. As someone who makes a living off of doing what he loves, Cole is someone that I look up to and I’m grateful that we had this conversation. I hope that this episode can add a little bit to your perspective and without further ado, here is our wide-ranging conversation with Cole Cuchna.

Kevin Hart And The State Of Comedy

In the latest episode of the Self Care Series, host Zach Grossfeld explores the recent controversy with Kevin Hart and The Oscars Committee, Hart's jokes on homosexuality, and the current state of comedy. We started the Self Care Series in honor of the late Mac Miller as a way to explore mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Comedy can be the ultimate cure for pulling through the darkest of times, and laughter combines all three aspects of Self Care: the physical, the mental, and the emotional. Should certain topics be off limits for comics? Who decides what we can and cannot find funny? How does laughter tie into morality? We are only one voice in a sea of opinions and we would love to hear your thoughts on a force that connects us all: comedy.
