Every week, I profile a prominent individual who helps shape my perspective on life, business, and the world around me.
“Do you listen to Joe Rogan’s podcast?”
This is a question I’ll probably ask you within 15 minutes of us meeting for the first time. If you are not familiar with Rogan’s ‘cast I won’t hold it against you, but if you are an avid listener we’ll be able to quickly accelerate our conversation to the good stuff and bypass the generic small talk. Rogan is my social litmus test and will instantly tell me whether or not I can take our conversation in the weird directions that I prefer to take it.
Look, I get it, Rogan isn’t for everybody. His podcasts are ridiculously long, his THC-fueled tangents are frequent, and there is zero theme or consistency to the types of guests he brings on the show. These, however, are the exact reasons I love it, but I understand that some people just can’t handle the chaos. One day he’s talking to a Ph.D in biomedical science and expert on nutritional health, the next he’s talking to a successful entrepreneur “slash” advocate for the productive use of psychedelics, then he dials it back for a light-hearted convo with one of the greatest standup comics of our generation, only to switch things up again for a sit down with the definitive master of consumer marketing.
If you’re new to the Rogan podcast I recommend scrolling through his iTunes archive and looking for an episode with a guest who intrigues you. Coincidentally, his most recent episode is with Gary Vaynerchuk, who I covered in my last installment of People Who Know Shit. I haven’t listened yet, but it’s guaranteed to be a great one:
You can follow Rogan on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and iTunes.

Wait, do you guys like Joe Rogan? I’ve listened to all of the podcasts and can’t seem to find anyone on this site who likes Joe Rogan.
I’m convinced that the only reason I’m on DDB is that my first name is Joe.
Really, I think Dave and I are the only people who listen to him
I actually don’t listen to Rogan because I know I’ll get highlights just conversing around the office.
The Jordan Peterson interview last month is absolute Gold. Now there’s a guy who also knows shit.
Easily one of the best in recent history
You’re not alone
Safe to say Joe Rogan is to PGP as Dan Bilzerian is to TFM?
Except Rogan adds value.
I’d recommend checking out the episodes where Rogan has Dan on as a guest
Oh God.
Barely made it to 8am before mentioning Rogan.
It’s only 7am in Austin my man
I sincerely wish I could go on an outdoor excursion with Joe Rogan and Hunter S. Thompson
You should have a podcast about the Joe Rogan podcast
It’s called “Dudes Doing Business” and new episodes drop every monday
Speaking of one of the best comics of our generation, Billy Baldhead Burr’s Netflix special is dropping this month. It is, as the kids say, highly anticipated.
Correction, it dropped yesterday and now I know exactly what I’ll be diddling myself to tonight.
Oh shit, thanks for he heads up. Burr might be my all time fav standup comedian
Recent one on Scientology w/ Leah Remini crazy shit.
Jocko podcast by Jocko Willink is the ass kick we all need
Listen to Rogan’s episode with Jocko Willink, then go listen to Jocko Podcast. It’s very intense, but tons of value there.
I annoy my girlfriend every night by dropping various JRE knowledge bombs I learned on that day’s pod.
