UNCOMMON w/ Graeme Smith

Join Brendon Marotta, author/film-maker/podcaster/etc, and I as we dive into his latest project Children's Justice which provided a foundation from which to discuss subjects like memeplexes, psychological fracturing, NLP and a whole lot more.

I brought Dave Reaboi (his own description does a good job: National security & political warfare. Claremont Institute Senior Fellow. Jazz, vinyl and hifi audio, bodybuilding. “Right-wing Twitter pugilist”—Politico) to talk about his recent book Qatar's Shadow: The Islamist Emirate and its Information Operations in the United States. We did some of that, but we spent more time taking a look at the principles behind Dave's analysis of Qatar's operations, and how we -as individuals looking to protect ourselves and our loved ones- can better defend ourselves against the manipulation of information operations REGARDLESS OF THEIR ORIGIN. Enjoy, and please consider subscribing and sharing if you do. More from Dave: https://davereaboi.substack.com/

Join Bryan Sharpe and I as we discuss building community from a leadership position, building oneself into the kind of person who deserves to be in a position of leadership through honest self-analysis and course-correction, exploring one's passions in the context of a marketable public facing persona and a lot more.

Michael P Senger is a lawyer, CPA(inactive) and author of several in-depth articles and a masterfully researched book -Snake Oil: How Xi Jinping Shut Down the World- in which he details the life and times of China and its dictatorial leader Xi Jinping as the backdrop to a journey down Narrative-Forensics Lane. The destination? A devious, global and ruthless campaign of totalitarianism the brilliance, scale and malevolence of which are stunning in magnitude. Want more from Michael? Snake Oil Twitter

Zero HP Lovecraft is the alias of a man who thinks a great deal about modern society, its relationship with the past, and the consequences of how we orient ourselves in relation to both.  This was a very nuanced and thoughtful conversation and I'm pleased to present it to you.  Links: https://twitter.com/0x49fa98 https://zerohplovecraft.wordpress.com/

Varangian is an alias for a man that comes to this show from a secret place where men roam free. We talk about war and violence and honor and duty, among other things. Enjoy.

Jesse is the founder and CEO of Letsgo.finance which is the most powerful tool for donations, NFTs and social WEB3 on the planet. We talked about the project launch, and what it might look like down the road.

Graeme is a dear friend, though he and his wonderful family live on the other side of the world, and it's been a pleasure getting to know him over the past couple of years. In this inaugural episode of Uncommon, Graeme and I explore meaningful living, MANA, purpose, creativity and more. Enjoy uncommonly.

William is a dear friend and reluctant mentor. This was the last episode of the podcast in the Logocentrifugal body. That body died in this conversation, and it would take Uncommon months before it learned to crawl. This was a fitting end to the Logocentrifugal run, and I am grateful to me pal Will for taking the time to share some of his golden hour with me and you.

Dr Phil, as we affectionately call him, is a very smart and good man on a mission to keep you off of his operating table. Might be worth your while to listen.
