Dave on Dave is an ongoing(?) series in which David Cho and David Chen gather together to discuss life and work. Also, usually David Cho has some harsh words to say about David Chen's stuff!
In this episode we discuss how difficult it has been to get good sleep recently, and reflect on David Chen's criteria for life success.
Let us know what you think of the episode in the comments! (One of the Davids really wants to know, but I won't say which one)

We're trying out a new thing today: My friend and colleague David Cho typically has opinions on my work online and he usually shares them with me via text. I decided to record one of our chats in a series I'm going to tentatively refer to as "Dave on Dave." The objective is to give you as listeners a venue to hear me reflect on my work being critiqued and analyzed.
I have no idea if this is interesting at all, or if it's unflattering/painful/too navel-gazey, but I assum...

Patrons,
I recently had the chance to chat with comedian Scott Seiss about going viral on IKEA TikTok. I tried something different this time around: converting my full Culturally Relevant interview with Scott into something with more of a linear/narrative format. It doesn't seem like a big step but scripting and filming something even this simple probably took ...

[Don't worry! Despite this video being called "life update," nothing major is wrong or changing! Just trying something new.]
Since this Patreon feels like you all are supporting me personally, I thought I'd try making a video just sharing how things are going with me. I discuss what's been happening in my life lately and reflect on what might be next.

Hi Patrons,
Me and my COVID bubble were lucky enough to get the second dose of our Pfizer vaccine recently. I created this video to share our personal experience with it. The point of this was not to flex or brag but to help demystify the process for people. Going into dose 2, I'd heard so many different things about what the experience could be like.
I hope this gives you some sense of what the results might be, and that it helps you to make your own plans around dose 2. Th...
