In our show we investigate potential levers, tools that magnify a given input of force. Teej, Shake, and Crisp come from different backgrounds and areas of the US (New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, respectively) to discuss levers as they pertain to health, psychology, finance, and more. Using a lever, a very small force can create a very large one. We hope to enable our audience to find leverage in life.

Theoretically will merge all “virtual worlds” and “games” into an open digital topography for all to interact with simultaneously. Nothing in this show should be construed as financial advice, these are merely financial opinions. Not financial advice.

Order without Design: the antithesis of top-down planning. Humans and entities cooperate organically, iterating towards the best solutions, much like in Darwinian evolution.

In this episode we discuss fasting as a lever. An environmental inevitability since human inception and long a spiritual and religious practice, fasting is a powerful form of leverage. Throughout the wandering episode, we hit on fasting modalities, how fasting is unfairly condemned in modern society, the critical signals such a practice sends to the body, and some of the obvious and more subtle beauties of abstinence from food and drink.
