Continuously making others laugh because it brings joy back to him, Conner Anshutz is intelligent, kind, a creative thinker, and a fantastic storyteller. In this episode of The Junkyard Love Podcast Conner and I kickback and let the conversation fill itself with fun ideas and stories around technology, thinking, human behavior, reality, people, animals, workin various jobs, and meeting various acquaintances. In the first half, we pour a couple of brews and chat about artificial intelligence, intrusive thoughts, wild theories of evolution, social implications of algorithms, society at large, animal experiments, altered states, depressive states, and traveling to different states. We go on to share stories from our past and how our perceptions change over time and through new opportunities with new people. We point out teachable moments along with some of the cool places life has taken us - and Conner shares views from a few of his previous jobs - like being a door to door salesmen of pest control products, workin the counter at a skateshop, selling weed at the weed store, fitting newlyweds for tuxedo rentals, grippin skateboards at the skateshop and gassin' up travelers at the gas station. Conner certainly has great perspective on exploring the human condition through other people's passion and he believes in experiencing their greatness right alongside them. He says 'yes' far more often than 'no' and he strives to bring laughter and lightheartedness to situations life hands him. He's just like you or me, a 'people' tryin to get by.
