What's up party people! You can already tell from the title, but this was by far one of the coolest episodes and guests we've had on this show. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been in some of the most iconic film & tv projects for the last 30 years: from 3rd Rock From the Sun and Angels in the Outfield to 10 Things I Hate About You and 500 Days of Summer to The Dark Knight Rises, Looper, Inception, and so much more—it's too long to list! Obviously, we talk about his incredible career, but he also shows a side of himself that might surprise you.

For the last several years, JGL has become increasingly invested in the rapid progression of technology and the future of the internet and humanity as a whole. He shares his perspective on the current state of the world, where he sees it going, and the efforts we can do now to make it even better. It's not like our typical conversations we have on this podcast, but it is very interesting and we highly encourage you to watch all the way through. Who knows, you might learn something new or even unlock a new passion and fire for these sorts of topics like he has!

As always we hope you enjoy!
