My recent conversation with Lewis just dropped on his channel, Freedom Pact. Because he got it out so quickly, I spill the beans on a number of episodes still in production. So check it out if you want a sneak peek of things to come! ‪@FreedomPact‬

Pre-order my new book: amzn.to/4oZUgpa

I'm thrilled to announce that my new book, "Starry Night," is now available for pre-order on Amazon. This is an option that is only available for ebook. However, if you want to get your hands on the book as soon as is humanly possible, then this is the best way to do so. Thank you for your support! #psychacks #vangogh

This is exciting: my first interview on a Japanese YouTube channel! Talking with Nick was a great opportunity to bring some of my ideas to an entirely new culture. Don't worry: the discussion is in English. Check it out!

This is a fun one. My recent in-person discussion with Agon and Sonya Love just dropped on their new channel, Desirable. Not only were the two very conversant with my work, but they respectfully challenged some of my arguments, as well. Definitely one of my favorite appearances to date.

My third long-form discussion with Dr. Bill Wong (@drswole) recently dropped on his channel. I think this was the best one yet. Tune in for a high-level discussion on relationships and the sexual marketplace.

I'm thinking of releasing my next book -- a novel about the final days of Vincent Van Gogh -- through an established publishing house. Do you work for a major distributor (Penguin, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, etc.) or know someone who does? If so, please reach out at psychackspodcast@gmail.com. Thank you.

I'm proud to announce that my latest talk just dropped on Soft White Underbelly. I feel like this is the most comfortable and authentic I've been on camera to date. Mark did a fantastic job getting some good takes out of me. Not to be missed! ‪@SoftWhiteUnderbelly‬
