Cool, Calm and Cultured
Cool, Calm and Cultured (coolcalmcultured.com) is where the hot takes meet the human ones. Each week, our host sits down with peers, pros, creatives, dreamers — and yes, even a few frenemies — to unpack the spirit (and the chaos) of 21st-century life. Some conversations will be chill. Some will be deep. Some might crack your brain open like a crab leg. But whatever the vibe, you’ll leave with a laugh, a lesson, or at least something to think about on the way to your next adventure. Keeping it cool, keeping it calm, keeping it cultured — even when life gets messy. New episodes and endorphins provided weekly. No gatekeeping.
