  • Summary

  • Philosophy is great. It guides us with wisdom from Plato to Epictetus. But sometimes, you don't need a philosophical musing - you need a down to earth rendering of the universe around you. If philosophy is like a flowery, fine brandy, Basement Philosophy is the pilsner that tells you that it's a cold world, so grab your coat. Sponsored by HIP Alt. Coffee and hosted by founder Mike Tassone, this podcast offers practical insights from life to business, inspired by Stoics, Greek warriors, and Gladiators. This isn't philosophy - this is Basement Philosophy.

    "You Have To Survive To Succeed"

    - Morgan Housel

    .

    .

    On Episode 2 of #BasementPhilosophy, we get into one of our favourite quotes from Morgan Housel and the book The Psychology Of Money. We dive into the ultimate Greek story of survival - The story of Odysseus from Homer's epic poem 'The Odyssey'. A decade long journey filled with trials and tribulations that tests Odysseus's will to return home to his love Penelope and take back his throne as the rightful ruler of Ithaca. For a modern take, we also discuss the journey of landing the dream job in the true fashion of the quote - outlasting the bad guys to get where you want to go.

    Welcome! The scariest thing about starting content from scratch - besides using filler words like kinda, sorta and cool way too much - is getting started. But here we are and we are happy you found us! Welcome to Basement Philosophy, brought to you by HIP Alt. Coffee. Our host and company founder, Mike, hops in front of the camera for the first time ever to explain who he is, what the show is going to be about and how HIP Alt. Coffee came to be. Our maiden voyage explains the backstory of Mike as a 14 year veteran of the creative industry and how he arrived at creating a caffeine free alternative coffee made from barley. Heavily influenced by his pandemic experience, his father's cancer diagnosis and his journey as a creative, Mike dives into his vision for the brand, the show and how he wants to help you #ConquerYourMorning
