The Mindsoak Project

by Jon Filitti

I find myself spending a lot of time looking at the profiles of the people I follow on Twitter. I came to realize I want to know more about them. More than their short Twitter bio can give me. More than their About Me page on their website. I want to know what makes them tick. I want to know when they the feel most alive. I want to know their story. So I started Mindsoak. Mindsoak is simply a podcast for learning more about interesting people doing interesting things.

    My dad is my hero. Always has been. Always will be. Mike Filitti is the most sincere, upfront, and genuine man you could meet.

    I’m always appreciative of the time I get to spend talking to Mr. Paul Lemley.
