Do you ever find yourself avoiding a certain topic, or changing the subject in a discussion because you're intimidated by your lack of knowledge in that area, and you're worried you'd have nothing worthwhile to contribute? Or do you find yourself immediately tuning out when people talk about things that are not immediately interesting to you, or that you cannot immediately relate to? I think many people do this to a certain extent, and I think that contributes to the lack of connection our generation seems to feel.

In this episode, I talk about this phenomenon and tackle it myself by engaging in a conversation with my friend Brian about two musical artists- James Blake and Aesop Rock (not to be confused with A$AP Rocky) who knows way more about these artists (and music in general) than I do.

Through this, I hope to encourage people to stop letting fear get in the way of having these conversations, and instead to use these opportunities to connect, and at the very least as a chance to learn a shit ton from your friends and strangers :)
