Build for Tomorrow Podcast

Build for Tomorrow

This is a show about the crazy, curious things from history that shaped us, and how we can shape the future.

Each episode is deeply researched, fast-paced, funny, and aims to answer big questions about ourselves. Like: Why are we so obsessed with the good ol’ days? Why do we hate being told what to do? And why were teddy bears once so scandalous?

If change makes you uncomfortable, or if you’re worried about the future, this show will change the way you think. (Note: This podcast was originally called Pessimists Archive.)

Podcast Reviews

See what listeners are saying!

I went through it Netflix-binge-style, at least five episodes in a row. It's now one of my favorite podcasts and I think it should be one of the top podcasts in the world, frankly.“

Lex Fridman (The Lex Fridman Podcast)

Most people are smart, but then cognitive biases kick in and they start acting like fools. This is why I love Jason’s show. If you understand people’s bias towards pessimism, that's the first step in choosing yourself for success.“

James Altucher (the James Altucher Show)

I love to hear about all the wacky stories from the past that seem bonkers now, but were totally normal then! It’s one of the best and most unique show angles I’ve ever come across.“
