Today I had a guest on who decided to remain anonymous, though through his stories you can learn a lot about who he is and what he believes. He produces incredible videos on tiktok of his travels: raw, honest, digestible. His TikTok is https://www.tiktok.com/@gcvvgcvvgcvv?_r=1&_t=ZP-96nVYBwioxi if you want to check it out. We had a pretty excellent conversation, speaking about religion, global politics/influence, and so many personal stories. From Africa, China, and the Stans, to declining Europe and the very livable Latam - we covered a lot of the world. I am really happy to have had the conversation today, and I hope you all enjoy.

Today I sat down with Mark Inger, the founder of Pleep, who is building AI sales agents for medium to large business across MENA, South America, and APAC. I found him extremely intelligent and focused on building an enduring company, a very challenging feat in the rapidly advancing world of 2026. https://pleep.app

Today I spoke with Alek Petuskey, the founder of Reflex - the platform for enterprises to build and scale apps. Having identified a problem with his roommate and co-founder, Reflex gained massive traction (10,000 users) very quickly, rising to the top spot on Hacker News. From there the company has sought to monetize, experiencing 100% MoM growth for the past 6 months, with over 1M apps built on the platform and 30% of the Fortune 500 using Reflex. Today we talk about how to develop focus, how to think about open source, and what it takes to build a world class company. I hope you enjoy today's episode.

Todays conversation is hosted in person in NYC. Isaiah Washington and I discussed how he built AI tools built with Claude Code as a largely non technical person for his organization. We also discussed his experience at Facebook and Insight and his current role at Artemis. I greatly enjoyed the conversation and hope to have many more like it in the future.

Check out our guest: www.rosemaryd.com Reiki was not something that I had heard much about before my conversation with Rosemary. The ability to sense and heal people using energy and intuition was always slightly outside of my scope of belief / understanding. Through my conversation with Rosemary, however, I became thoroughly impressed by her. Both her commanding knowledge of many different subjects areas across psychology, neuroscience, and history, as well as her ability to see people for who they truly are. She spoke to me about people that she had met who had died for 7 minutes and were revived and how their stories affected her, the different colored auras she can something see radiating off of people, and her ability to understand people at the level of the soul. She is a torch of light. I greatly enjoyed my conversation with her.

Today I hosted Andreas Tempereau on the podcast. He currently attends Stanford, will be joining Anduril next year, and has been building a insane military helmet for the past few months. I sat down today to understand his outlook on the world, how he sees the current state of technology, and what motivates him to solve interesting problems... (spoiler! he just loves solving interesting problems). I hope you enjoy today's conversation, I sure did.

While I try to find what is practical and useful in philosophy, Dragan seems intent on destroying my entire conception of myself, how I perceive reality, and the systems we all operate in. In today's episode you will hear lines such as, "You are made a slave by language" & "We are castrating ourselves with each new instagram story post." Typical Philosophers! I am happy to have had this conversation with someone just as far down the rabbit hole as I am. Cheers to making it out the other side. THE MAX DEPTH PODCAST

What I privilege it was to connect with Dr. Ruwan M. Jayatunge M.D. PhD. We spoke about the nature of suffering, buddhism, happiness, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Nietzsche, and his work across the globe treating patients with PTSD. I promise you that if you listen to this conversation with an open mind and with good intentions, you will walk away a better person. I hope you enjoy today's episode of the Max Depth Podcast.

"Dark" philosophies engage deeply with the topic of suffering. That is the problem set we explore today.

Today we are joined by Nic Munoz. He is someone worth listening to for a few reasons: 1. He has studied countless "Great" individuals throughout history. He is a wealth of information. 2. He has built a successful online brand, standing out in the competitive education space. 3. He has a clear understanding of his strengths, and the mission he wants to dedicate his life to. We hope you enjoy the conversation.
