About this episode
What do you talk about when political news stops feeling worth the attention? Matt explains his news fatigue, the young men who have made him more optimistic about the future, and why he sees attention as a form of capital. He also gives his skeptical take on meme-coin culture and conventional markets, then shares what building with AI agents actually requires. A candid episode about stepping back from the feed and getting back to making things.
