SO awesome that you decided to reboot Oak - I still have it installed on my phone. Downloaded it the day I heard from Jonathan/AJ&Smart about it. Flutter dev here btw : )
Huge fan of Foundation interviews from back in the day so I'm super excited to see what The Next (next) will surface.
Also - thanks for sharing the 2-2-2 rule on The Random Show.
I’ve been using alcohol as a way to unwind after stressful workdays and it was refreshing to hear it framed as a system for drinking and not deprivation focused.
That idea stuck with me, so I started vibe-coding a tiny app to help me track and build that system.
I've tried various meditation apps over the years but I keep coming back to Oak, mainly because it's free, and also because I find the female voice relaxing.
Love your insight and happy always to see you in my inbox or on my podcast player in a Random Show. As a civil litigator in LA who is deep into AI and the dangers of using it by those in my profession who do so without understanding its limits am always fascinated to hear how it fits into your life and your take on it. Keep up the meditation.
"Default social lubricant" ha ha. Love this. Was there a new default that subbed in? Im asking because im in the same boat. Caffeine came off the bench for me as the social lubricant
Was a massive fan of Foundation, I’m looking forward to your the next (next), also ….was also a massive fan of beyond 2000 all those years back.
Ha! SAME, LOVED beyond 2000 -- that's the vibe
Bring back Kevin's dark tips😂
Welcome back 😊
PLEASE do a podcast on aphantasia. I thought I was just weird! All kidding aside, reading up on it kinda rocked me.
Been sober for over 10 years. I often wonder where I'd be if I hadn't quit. Maybe I'd be more successful and happier.....
Some very interesting updates! Look forward to hearing more about them in 2026. And hopefully more frequent updates!

Looking forward to seeing your new project. I’ve always been a fan of your work and design approach. Excited to see what you build next!
I love Oak!! So glad to hear it isn’t going anywhere and even getting some love.

Thank you for doing what you are doing Kevin. Best from Norway.
Tim’s new girlfriend and ED, great honest segment.
Congrats on the 6.5 months. I've done six month sober sabbaticals in the past and highly recommend it.
Your point about investing energy in resistance means you're still captured by what you wish to resist is essential. Thanks for that reminder. 💪🏻🧠
🙏
Hi Kevin
Glad to hear Oak is getting some love!

Glad to see an update and it looks really exciting. It's been a long journey from modding Sonicare toothbrushes!
