Hello! I’m back with yet another episode of Extended Scenes, the podcast about aging and ambition and dreams and success and failure in a crumbling world!

My guest this week is the writer A.J. Daulerio. A.J. is the former editor of websites like Gawker and Deadspin and he now runs

, which started as a newsletter about addiction and recovery and is, now, today, so successful it’s growing into a full-blown media company.

A.J. is one of my favorite people to talk to about overcoming shame and struggling with perfectionism and striving for balance when you have a broken brain and redefining life success and growing up emotionally and taking accountability without non-stop self-flagellation.

I hope you like this conversation and thanks for being here. x
