#174 The Modern Renaissance w/ Medieval Mindset
In this episode, I sit down with John of the Medieval Mindset YouTube channel to explore what a modern renaissance might really look like—and how it starts with each of us. We trace the many renaissances across history—from the Carolingian and 12th‑century revivals to the Italian Renaissance—and connect them to today’s cultural shifts in film, games, language, architecture, and everyday life. John makes the case for “hope‑posting,” building local pockets of culture offline, and choosing to create more than we consume. We dig into art with soul, why timeless works aim at eternity, and how a renewed appetite for truth, beauty, freedom, and love is showing up in everything from Project Hail Mary and late‑career Scorsese to indie video games and even audience pushback against hedonistic media trends. We also wrestle with AI’s place as a tool (not a muse), the rise of “human‑made” value, Gen Z’s turn toward health and spirituality, and what it means to set our compass toward the highest good—personally and culturally.John shares his own renaissance playbook: deleting social apps from his phone, prioritizing creation over consumption, leaning into fitness and long‑distance running, practicing a mystical, tradition‑rich Catholicism, and investing in real‑world community. We close with practical ways to seed a grassroots revival where you live—gather friends, make art, touch grass, and choose hope together. Renaissance isn’t a slogan; it’s a daily decision—and it spreads from one courageous pocket to the next.Support John:https://www.instagram.com/medieval_mindsethttps://www.patreon.com/cw/MedievalMindset Follow Cole:https://x.com/_ColeMcCormick https://www.instagram.com/colemccormick1/

CEO Barry: Building Podhome, Healing the Gut
We also explore the evolving podcast ecosystem, including value-for-value, Bitcoin-enabled analytics, and why Podhome focuses on affordable, modern tooling for everyday podcasters. From there we dive into health, resilience, and simplicity. Barry opens up about healing long-standing gut issues by uncovering lactose and gluten intolerances, experimenting with carnivore and reintroducing select carbs, and leaning on functional mushrooms like lion’s mane, chaga, and shiitake. We trade stories on raw dairy, movement, and what real “longevity” looks like—being present, playful, and fit enough to keep up with kids. We close on practical, grounded wisdom: eat real food, sleep, move, stay curious, and treat life like the game it is—show up and play.
