Welcome to the playground

Propaganda, Art, Health, Regenerative Systems, Great Food, Economic Incentives, and building companies in an increasingly digital world. 

All of these concepts live in the balance of centralized and decentralized systems. I believe that if we are not careful, we will watch the pendulum swing away from self-governance, and in that swing, we have the opportunity to lose the future of humanity to the dark side. 

These are the concepts that own my mind space. This podcast is an opportunity to play with these ideas with world leaders, entrepreneurs, my homies, and people that I find generally exciting or entertaining. 

It is called a playground for a reason. This podcast will be as fun as it is informative; we are tackling society's most pervasive issues, but in a way that we are undoubtedly going to fuck up, scribble on, and get hurt.

Malala Yousafzai

Free

Sign up now
I chose Malala as the archetypical dissident for this tier because education should be free and available to all. She is the inspiration for why I decided to create a free option. I don't believe media should be free. When content, the creator's blood, sweat, and tears, is free, it is a bad deal for the consumer. Without even realizing it, they have become prostitutes to the system. The core of the conversations is so important that it would be amoral not to offer it to people who cannot afford the content. So please only select this option if you fall into that category.


This plan includes:
  • Access to the podcast episodes that are too important to place behind a paywall.
  • No advertisements.

Yeonmi Park

$12 / month

7 days trial for free - cancel anytime
Start your free trial
I chose Yeonmi as the archetypical dissident for this tier because she represents the incredible power of Freedom of Speech. Freedom isn't free. It needs to be fought for every day. To not realize that some wish to take your liberties away is to live in a fallacy. Look at the world. Look at history. Remember.

This includes:
  • Access to all regular podcast episodes.
  • Minimum of 4 episodes per month
  • 1 Q&A Episode per month
  • No advertisements.
  • Early announcement of NFT drops.
  • Early announcements of Merchandize drops

Where will the money go?

Sky King's Mental Playground is a subsidiary of Modern Stoa Limited. This means it is a for-profit company. We believe in building for-profit media business models that can result in more sincerity in media. With that being said, we are really on a mission here. The role of my life is to build systems that increase the opportunity for media incentives that lead to outcomes that society would benefit from. This includes knowledge, love, freedom, truth, critical thought, and more.



With that in mind, we will be taking 25% of all the revenue and using that outside of the company. We will be sharing these numbers publicly, and the paying listeners will have the opportunity to participate in some of this decision-making.


  • 20% of all revenue will be used to angel invest or give grants annually to disruptive and innovative media companies trying to create business models around media that do not include advertisements. When we become large enough, I want this to look similar to the Thiel Fellowship.
  • 5% of all revenue will go to a different non-profit organization each quarter. There will be opportunities for the audience to participate in the selection process, not for profits.

The rest of the revenue will pay the operating expenses, upgrade the quality, pay the team, grow the show, and pay me.

Audrey Tang

$69 / year

Sign up now
I chose Audrey as the archetypical hero for this tier because she represents the importance of building long-term systems from your core ideals. Audrey isn't technically a dissident, but that has more to do with the foresight of the Taiwanese government than it does with the intensity of her actions. To build a more accessible world, we must think critically about our systems and the rules that we choose to create.

This plan includes:
  • Access to the podcast episodes.
  • Minimum of 4 episodes per month
  • 1 Q&A Episode per month
  • No advertisements.
  • Early announcement of NFT drops.
  • Early announcements of Merchandize drops
  • 20% discount on the Merchandize

Jamal Khashoggi

I chose Jamal as the archetypical dissident for this tier because he gave the ultimate sacrifice. Jamal gave his life to share the truth. For anyone willing to participate in this tier, I am willing to give my life, or at least an hour of it, to them. Thank you for your support.
