I grew up in Wellesley Hills—went swimming in my early winters at the Babson College pool. Thanks so much for this story, Nate. Wherever he was geographically doing his theorizing and anti-gravity investment thing, I imagine him up the street, at the height of a hill the town named for someone who may have zagged, but, well, the tide zigged right over him.

That was the best ending to a podcast ever!!!! I loved it!
Yes, this episode is definitely one of my all time favourites. And I agree, the ending was fantastic!

Oh man you painted this man so well. Really great listen.
I completely agree with Michael Fedor. Best ending ever.
This was a great episode. The ending was perfect. It made me incredibly happy.

It sounded so familar. Couldn’t place it. Haunted me for over a week!
