#235- Brock Meier: Stories of a Curious Mind | Where History, Science, and Creativity Collide

This week, I got to sit down again with the one and only Brock Meier—author, former scientist, and all-around fascinating guy. His friends and family call him “the most interesting man in the world,” and honestly, they might be right! Our first conversation covered everything from ancient civilizations to whirlwind romance, so I knew I had to bring him back for more.

Here’s what we got into this time:

• His early days in the lab, working with lasers and infrared tech before most people even knew what they were.
• How that technology has completely changed the way we explore the world today.
• The top-secret stuff he couldn’t talk about (but hey, we tried!).
• His unexpected passion for winemaking—specifically, crafting wine from things like jalapeños and grass clippings.
• The science behind fermentation and how his research background actually plays into it.
• The big question—will there be another book after The Stone Cutter?
• Life in the Texas Hill Country and where he finds inspiration.

This was such a fun conversation, jumping from cutting-edge science to creative passions and everything in between. If you love history, technology, and unexpected stories, you’re going to love this episode!
