Dan Benjamin interviews Jason Fried, co-founder of 37 Signals, the company behind Basecamp, Campfire, Highrise, Backpack, and the author of a new book, REWORK. Topics include big vs. small, fear of success, turning points, solving universal problems, if investment and success has affected the company and how it’s evolved over 10 years, the “37 Signals culture” and mindset (like spending only one day a week in the office), and finding design inspiration in nature.

Radio Lab - Stochasticity
"This hour, Radiolab examines Stochasticity, which is just a wonderfully slippery and smarty-pants word for randomness. How big a role does randomness play in our lives? Do we live in a world of magic and meaning or … is it all just chance and happenstance? To tackle this question, we look at the role chance and randomness play in sports, lottery tickets, and even the cells in our own body. Along the way, we talk to a woman suddenly consumed by a frenzied gambling addiction, two friends whose meeting seems purely providential, and some very noisy bacteria."
