I hit 2 million Subscribers on YouTube!!
To celebrate, I asked for questions from YouTube, Twitter and Instagram, so here’s another 90 minutes of me trying to answer as many as possible. As always there’s some great questions in here about my thoughts on Andrew Huberman's recent drama, the future of the podcasting industry and whether I'm becoming religious or not.
Expect to learn what I'd tell my 18 year old self, whether I'm afraid I'll ever run out of content, if I can keep up the pace of 3 episodes a week, if I just bring on people who confirm my worldview, how I try to keep my private life private, whether I know how to max out growth during puberty and much more...

April 25, 2024

Daniel Cox is a researcher, pollster and Director of the Survey Center on American Life.
Never before has the divide between left and right mirrored the split between men and women so closely. Women are increasingly leaning to the left, while young men are skewing towards the right. Daniel is the original analyser of this groundbreaking data and has a variety of explanations for exactly what we're seeing in the modern political world.
Expect to learn why there is such an ideological divide between men and women, whether #MeToo had anything to do with this change, what roles abortion & LGTB campaigns play in this, whether conservative men are struggling to find a partner, the implications of the gender political divide on dating and much more...
