ABOUT THE EPISODE
How do you stay optimistic when the news says the world is falling apart? I sat down with Kevin Kelly, the founding executive editor of Wired and author of Excellent Advice for Living, to revisit his famous 68 Bits of Unsolicited Advice now that he's 73.

We get into why a shipped imperfect project beats a perfect one that never ships, why he wants 100 studies before he trusts a health claim, why there is no 'them', and why he thinks a billion dollars is a prison. Kevin also explains why today is the best day in history to start something and why control of your time is the real wealth.

He closes with his take on purpose: your job on earth is to figure out your job on earth, and the first step is to master something.
