In this special year-end clip show, Matt Zeigler and Jack Forehand reflect on some of the most meaningful conversations from Just Press Record in 2025. Rather than a traditional recap, this episode explores the deeper themes that emerged across very different guests, from connection and creativity to fear, identity, and long-term thinking. Along the way, Matt and Jack discuss why these moments mattered to them personally, how the show itself reflects Matt’s approach to life, and what these stories reveal about how people grow, change, and find meaning over time.Main topics coveredThe philosophy behind Just Press Record and why unscripted, unexpected conversations matterThe power of reaching out to people and the lasting impact of human connectionHow major life transitions often emerge around key ages and career inflection pointsLosing sight of purpose by focusing on the wrong metrics and how to recalibrateOvercoming fear, stage anxiety, and the courage to live more authenticallyCreativity as recombination, sampling, and reinterpretation across music, art, and businessLong-term thinking, journaling, and reflecting on how beliefs and priorities evolve over timeWhy community, curiosity, and experimentation matter more than optimizationTimestamps00:00 Introduction and year-end clip show setup01:30 The idea behind Just Press Record and pairing unlikely people06:50 Anna Goldfarb on connection, regret, and reaching out13:15 Tom Morgan on age 36, identity shifts, and life phases20:45 Bobby Keller on purpose, metrics, and the Horror Fest30:00 Julia Duthie and Nancy Berger on fear, authenticity, and self-expression42:00 Bill Stephney and Lawrence Yeo on hip hop, creativity, and sampling51:45 Chris Mayer and Anne-Laure Le Cunff on journaling and changing your mind
