      Alex explores the complexities of navigating a creative career, particularly in writing and podcasting. He discusses the pervasive influence of the Author Services Industrial Complex, which capitalizes on authors' anxieties rather than genuinely helping them succeed. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the local nuances of podcasting and marketing, warning against the pitfalls of outsourcing these tasks to firms that lack a deep understanding of the creator's unique voice and audience. ---Book J.

    • The Long Apprenticeship I Didn’t Know I Was In

      The Long Apprenticeship I Didn’t Know I Was In
      Jan 8 2026
      On the Season 17 Premiere, Alex reflects on Robert Greene's book 'Mastery' and its profound impact on his understanding of personal growth and the writing craft. He discusses the concept of the long apprenticeship, the importance of recognizing one's true self, and the influences that have shaped his journey as a writer. Alex emphasizes the value of dedication and the gradual process of mastering a craft, while also looking forward to the new year with optimism and clarity.TakeawaysMastery is about the long apprenticeship we often overlook.Robert Greene's work offers depth rather than shortcuts.The false self accumulates from societal expectations.Mastery is a gradual process of devotion and practice.Writing is a craft that requires consistent effort.Influences shape our understanding and approach to craft.Personal growth is intertwined with the mastery of skills.Life experiences contribute to our unique perspectives.Recognizing one's life's task is crucial for fulfillment.The journey of mastery is ongoing and ever-evolving.Chapters00:00 The Long Apprenticeship Begins01:28 Understanding Mastery and the False Self04:06 Influences and the Craft of Writing05:55 Reflections on Life and Learning07:22 Looking Ahead: A New Year and New Insights- - - - - - - - - - - -Celebrating 10 Years and hundreds of episodes!

    • A Modest Holiday Wish

      A Modest Holiday Wish
      Dec 23 2025

      In this reflective piece, Alex challenges the conventional narrative surrounding the holidays as a time for renewal and optimism. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of acknowledging personal loss and the complexities of life. He advocates for clearer thinking, honest conversations, and modest wishes that focus on competence and responsibility rather than empty optimism.

      Alex's message is a call to embrace the nuances of life, recognizing that real change comes from attention and effort rather than mere belief.
