Constructing Meaning from Experience with Nicholas Luft

Nick Luft is Co-Founder & CEO of Idle, a startup app company. He’s also a musician, record producer, artist, rabid Avett Brothers fan, and occasionally, an amateur stand-up comedian.

You'll enjoy this episode if you prefer deeper conversations about life, death & meaning. Nick & I discuss valuable lessons that aren't taught in grade school or in university classrooms. They're lessons learned only when we encounter people of different cultures, beliefs & ideas.

I've known Nick since first grade, but this podcast episode is by far the most we've talked. Since we hadn't seen each other in almost 30 years, we made up for lost time. In almost 90 minutes, we cover life & meaning, religion & beliefs and dealing with death and loss.

Nick shares how losing his best friend, Cuyler Duncan, greatly impacted his life. His best bud was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in his 30s. Nick says the experience of losing Cuyler taught him the power of the human spirit and the value of positivity in our day-to-day lives.

Conversations keep getting better on the podcast.
