#246 - Nick Goldston: Happier Than Ever, and No Longer Rounding Down His Pace
Nick Goldston is a musician, songwriting professor, and host of the That Triathlon Life podcast, back for his fourth conversation on the show. A year after the lowest point of his life, he says he might be the happiest he's ever been, and the frustrating part is he can't fully explain why.
We talk about nearly losing his dad to a tick-borne illness, the physical feeling of peace he now carries in his chest, why acting with integrity means no longer rounding his run pace down, pacing Heather Jackson at Javelina and training for his first ultra, why picking up one piece of trash can be a false fix, consciousness and the double-slit experiment, Seth's own unexplained experiences, and why AI companions could become the ultimate shortcut.
This is a conversation about meaning, and the small honest choices that quietly add up to a life you feel at peace in.

#245 - Harry Talbot: A Sold-Out Book, a Missing Card Reader, and Learning to Trust
Harry Talbot is a New Zealand-born World Tour cycling photographer based in Girona, Spain, whose second photo book just sold out a 900-copy run. But this conversation isn't really about the shots. It's about a self-described control freak who's comfortable for the first time, and isn't sure that's a good thing.We talk about air-freighting three tons of books to beat Christmas, spending a whole season chasing a window as good as his cracked-glass shot of Pogačar, the night in Rome when he lost his card reader and missed Oakley's podium deadline, why he still won't forgive himself for it, why he struggles to trust anyone with his business, his dream of a physical gallery, and his honest take on faith, luck, and the 99 percent he credits to hard work.This is a conversation about control, and what it might take to let a little of it go.Harry IG: https://www.instagram.com/visualsofharry/Ways to Support the Show👇🏼Newsletter: https://stupidquestions.show/pages/newsletter-signup

#244 - André Abreu: Burning $250K at 21, and Building Oak Slowly
André Abreu is a Portuguese-born domestic elite cyclist and the founder of Oak, a bike company he runs out of his garage in Boise, Idaho. But his real story isn't carbon frames. It's about a man who spent years chasing certainty and proving people wrong, and is finally learning that letting go takes its own kind of discipline.
We talk about the $250K fixie shop in Tempe that ran out of money by the time he was 21 and nearly broke his relationship with his dad, the camper van he built to live in Iceland and never drove, meeting his wife on Instagram and getting locked down together two weeks later, the two years he let her carry them while he chased a YouTube-and-sponsorship pro dream, deconstructing and rebuilding his faith, and why he's at peace with Oak's first bikes arriving months late.
This is a conversation about humility, the kind that usually shows up after you've hit the floor, and what changes when a four-hour ride becomes a two-hour ride and that's okay.
