Julian Dorey is the host of the TRENDIFIER podcast where hot takes meet context and ideas meet conversation. Julian is on his way to becoming one of the most prominent voices in this next decade because of his long-form and intriguing conversations.  Backstory: Julian and I met through a Lex Fridman instagram post comments section. Weird as hell, but we got connected because I was new to the space looking to find the right equipment and he responded to my message and our friendship was born. His podcast has grown tremendously in the last year and I am convinced he will be the next Joe Rogan (so please reference this in the next few years when he gets there).  Find his podcast at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0A-v_DL-h76F75xik8h03Q ***TIMESTAMPS***  0:00 - Intro 3:50 - Walter Cronkite and greatest broadcaster of all time; Julian Dorey the story behind the TRENDIFIER podcast 27:00 - Leaving his banking career and path towards becoming a podcaster 41:00 -Being real; why you should stop putting a front and be yourself 58:00 - Long form podcasts vs TikTok, Reels, and YouTube shorts; instantaneous content and what will happen to the younger generations coming up 1:18:00 - Joe Rogan’s success; Julian analyzing his audience and what he predicted vs what ended up surprising him 1:28:00 - Metaverse and living a life in reality; departing from reality and the consequences of joining a ‘perfect’ society; MEANING OF LIFE discussion 1:47:00 - Talking about LOVE; breakups and relationships  YouTube EPISODES: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyLKzv5fKxGmVQg3cMJJzyQ/videos ~Song provided by: Ayush Garg
