60 Sec Sum: Alex foolishly quits a good job to chase an unlikely dream of starting his own podcasting company. He is fantasist and wants to change the world with radio story-telling, and in pursuit of this ends up blowing his and his wifes hard earned retirement to ernt an overcharged shared open office space with a group of flunkies. To make it worse, he then lies to his way too supportive and understanding wife about it. After failing to get the financial backing of some bozo billionaire investor, he watches his son fearlessly perform an over-the-top magic show at his schools the talent show and suddenly Alex discovers that his passion for radio is the “unfair advantage” the investor was looking for.
