Moment of Zen is a weekly podcast where we discuss what's happening in technology, business, politics, and beyond.
Moment of Zen was born out of a private group chat where we became not just friends, but everyday sense-makers together — trying to understand the world and create spaces for smart people to debate issues.
We want you to bring your own viewpoint to Moment of Zen, so in this newsletter we’ll be dropping a few links each week that we know we’ll discuss on the show. Consider it “homework” due before each episode drops.
You can subscribe to Moment of Zen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
