Episode highlights:
"I had a business that I started in the 90s. I sold it, I went back to school for a bit, decided I didn't want a career in academia, and I didn't know what else to do, so I came up with the idea of traveling around the world." - 3:00 - Gary Arndt
"Where something's culturally similar, you tend to notice the differences, but when you pass a certain point, you start to notice the similarities." - 8:00 - Gary Arndt
"I remember taking a bus through the desert in Egypt, and it just took forever, and I had to sit on a tire because the seats were broken and they didn't have enough seats. So I spent eight hours sitting on this tire, and you just realise ‘This is where I am right now’, and deal with it. Being stoic about the whole process gets you through a lot." - 23:00 - Gary Arndt
"I think that most people just want to go about their lives and live simply. In terms of what drives most people? It's day to day. They get up, they go to work, they raise their children, they eat food that is the life of most people everywhere." - 28:45 - Gary Arndt
"I want people to learn. I've had a lot of people say, even kids in school, ‘I learn more from this podcast in 12 minutes a day than I learn in school’. I'm happy to hear that, but it's also kind of sad." - 55:10 - Gary Arndt
“People in the Industrial Revolution at the time weren't thinking, ‘we're in the middle of the Industrial Revolution’. We’re in the middle of the internet revolution, but we don’t know it.” - 58:20 - Gary Arndt
