About All the Bad Ideas
All the Bad Ideas is a podcast hosted by lifelong talkers and chronic over-thinkers Kacey Nady and Berkeley Oblad (respectively), this show is part laughter and part learning. We talk about what we’re learning, what we’re unlearning, and the ideas that sound terrible on paper but somehow lead to growth, clarity, or at least a good story. There’s no agenda, no experts, and the only thing we can promise is that we don't know what we’re doing. Just real conversations, quick banter, and the occasional realization that the bad ideas might be the point.
