3 years ago, I put out a book with a simple premise: If the Spartans were the super-warriors legend makes them out to be, surely they’d have won most of the battles they’d fought? Turns out nobody had kept score. So, I did. 50% off today

No matter how you feel about ICE operations or the resultant protests, you shouldn’t be happy about deploying active duty troops on American soil. My latest over at @Slate:

Also in the news: I had thought the other show I shot (also for The History Channel) in December of 2023 wasn’t going to air. It is. Hopefully this summer. As soon as I know, so will you. 3/3.

I love making TV for the intense teamwork - you see me, but I see the army of amazing people who make the whole thing possible. It’s like writing in that it’s one of the most secretly-collaborative art forms out there. 2/3.

I’m focused on service now and don’t hustle for work anymore, so I’m extra grateful to keep getting it. Just shot this for The History Channel, and had the privilege of working with an incredibly talented team of storytellers and artists. 1/3

I allow myself to check this medium rarely. When I do, I see a world sliding off a cliff. The only response to that, I’m finding, is to put down my preferences, ask my community what’s needed, and then without giving an opinion, put my shoulder to the wheel and start pushing. 5/5.

I cannot publish a book or an article alone. I cannot make a TV show alone. I cannot be in a family or a neighborhood alone. I can’t be a husband or a friend alone. I sure as hell can’t fight a fire alone. 4/5.

This isn’t a picture of me. It’s a picture of us. I am under command, surrendered to the mission, showing up in community and doing not what I want, but what’s assigned to me. It’s a reminder that we are only capable of accomplishing anything when we work together. 3/5.

when I was putting something out that others had a stake in (publishing or TV work) or something that publicly committed myself to an action and held me accountable. We made the local news recently and I wanted to share it because it’s a reminder of the jewel of sangha. 2/5.

Self-commoditization, personal branding, and the LookAtMeLookAtMeLookAtMe culture of social media are at the heart of the current crisis in global socio-political culture. 3 years ago, I stopped posting to social media with a few exceptions: 1/5
