By Joseph Paul Wright

Joe is not an expert at anything, but he loves to learn about stuff, and he really, REALLY loves to talk about stuff.
An author, journalist, producer, and consultant, Joe looking to provide the world with perspective. Join him as he (inconsistently) attempts to do just that. Featuring a wide variety of guests, ranging from his 9 year old son, to journalists, lawyers, filmmakers, other experts in various fields, and many more random people that he knows (or maybe really doesn't).

Terms & Conditions Apply - NYAJ Ep.4

You know that little box you check when you create an account, or subscribe to something, or enter a contest that says you agree to the "Terms & Conditions" that you never had any intention of reading? Well guess what, there are Terms & Conditions to every aspect of our lives and we hardly ever look at them just like you never look at the "Terms & Conditions" you said you agreed to when you created your Twitter account. In this episode Joe digs deep into the Terms & Conditions of the various aspects of our lives. Work, Love, Friendships, Family, etc. Terms & Conditions apply to all of them. So chill for a moment and listen to Joe's highly-unqualified advice and philosophy on why we all need to take a step back and analyze the T's & C's of every aspect of our lives.

Honorable Mention and the Things We Can't Control

I hate being told I'm good, but not good enough. That's worse than just straight up being told I suck. If I'm not good enough, than tell me why, right? Help me improve. But we can't really control what people think or say about us, so let's focus on what we CAN control. It'll really help us get through those depressive funks that we all find ourselves falling in to.
