Today's episode is a keynote speech, a talk that Jamie Brissick delivered back in June at the

Philosopher Convergence Conference. Brissick has authored seven books. His most recent,

Dazzling Blue, is published by today's show sponsor, Birdwell. It's a collection of 58 short

nonfiction stories centered around Jamie's surf experience.

At 20 bucks, it is a must have.

And also really consider it just as a gift to give for the holidays to colleagues or for people whom you aren't sure what to buy.

It's available on birdwell.com who has generously given us a promo code for you to save 10% off your entire purchase, not just that of the book.

So you probably know Birdwell as Birdwell Beach Bridges because they've been making board shorts here in Southern California since 1961.

But they've actually just introduced an

entire fall and winter line of clothing, hoodies, jackets, corduroy work shirts, all designed

and manufactured here in Southern California to the same exacting specs as their board shorts,

meaning that everything comes with a lifetime guarantee.

My favorite article is a terrycloth polo made from this super comfy terrycloth, just like a towel

or a luxurious bathrobe. But it has a tailored cut and little wooden buttons. So it doesn't

really look lazy or ill-fitting like a bathrobe does.

It's actually really thoughtfully designed. And all of this line is kind of carefully selected

and again, handcrafted a mere 15 miles from where I am recording this right now.

Lots more to come in the future from Birdwell and I highly

recommend you adding some of their clothing to your wardrobe. These are heirloom quality pieces

that you can pass down. They are that well made and also that timeless in design and style.

So Birdwell.com our promo code is the word surf for you to save 10%.
