Today, we’re chatting with a fellow lover and gatherer of humans and one of the most vivacious, thoughtful people I know: Bill Mei. Bill is a published author, host of the FriendshipFuturism.com podcast, organizer of Learning Nights, a TED-like speaker series in Boston, and writes viral essays at billmei.net.
Bill and I chat about the dark side of extraversion, why the most interesting conversations we have happen with people with different worldviews, how to subliminally and subconsciously influence our friends, how to host TED Talks about topics like the “history of circumcision” in your PJs, how our future kids can influence the way we live now, how to actually practice getting better at the creative process, and how a little bit of humor can save us from the massive boulders we’re pushing in life.
