#272 – "Industry's" High-Stakes World of Finance (Season 2), Twin Lights Ride Reflections and GOATs doing GOAT $hit!

Spun Today with Tony Ortiz

Welcome to Episode 272 of the Spun Today Podcast! I'm your host, Tony Ortiz, and in today’s show, we dive into a rich mix of topics guaranteed to spark your creativity and fuel your passion for writing. We kick things off with some political speculation, pondering how our political landscape might have transformed if Bernie Sanders had led the Democratic Party against Donald Trump. Could Sanders have changed the course of history?

Next, we'll switch gears to the world of high-stakes finance and drama as we recap and review the thrilling second season of HBO's "Industry." The writing in this show is impeccable, and we'll explore how the complex character dynamics and intricate plotlines can inspire your creative journey. Alongside this, I'll share my personal experience tackling the Twin Lights Ride cycling marathon along New Jersey's picturesque coastline.

In our special segment, "Goats Doing Goat $hit!,” we honor the legendary music producer Timbaland for his remarkable generosity in the industry. And speaking of industry icons, we'll also shed light on an inspiring moment from Ryan Tedder's career, celebrating the power of creative kindness.

Get ready for an episode brimming with inspiration, thoughtful discussion, and a deep dive into the worlds of writing, finance, and music. Whether you're here for the creativity, the cycling stories, or just to enjoy some engaging conversation, we’ve got something special for everyone. So, sit back, relax, and let's dive in!
