Creative Director & Author Patrick Buchanan on The W.O.L.F. Mindset, Day Trading & Thinking Differently

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Author, Day Trader, Creative Director and Independent Thinker Patrick Buchanan. 

Most self-help guests tell you to believe harder. Patrick Buchanan wrote a book that argues that might actually be the problem.

Patrick spent 18 years writing advertising campaigns for major brands including Jeep, Grey Goose and Mercedes-Benz, including a Cannes-shortlisted Super Bowl commercial starring Bob Dylan. Then he walked away from the advertising world and taught himself how to trade options.

Today, Patrick works roughly an hour a day from wherever he happens to be in the world, while exploring ideas about mindset, independence, work, creativity and the way we think about success.

In this conversation, we get into the creation of The W.O.L.F. Mindset, his journey from advertising and the day job to day trading, independent thinking, creative work, the philosophy behind his book, Kurt Cobain and much more.

From his current base in Kansas City, Patrick shares the experiences and ideas behind building a life outside the traditional definition of work and success.

Speaker & Executive Rob Nickester on ADHD, Leadership & Overcoming Self-Doubt

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Speaker, Executive, Entrepreneur & ADHD Leadership Expert Rob Nickester.

For 35 years, Rob built the technology infrastructure that runs other companies. He also built a real estate investment business, and before any of that, he served in the Marine Corps and worked as a police officer.

But behind all of those accomplishments was a story he carried for much of his life: Rob believed he was the dumbest person in every room he walked into.

Then, in his 40s, Rob was diagnosed with ADHD. Not as a child sitting in a classroom, but as an adult with companies to lead, responsibilities to manage and a family depending on him. That diagnosis helped him begin understanding his experiences, strengths and challenges through a very different lens.

Today, Rob uses his experiences in technology, entrepreneurship, leadership and life to help others better understand ADHD and leadership. From his base in Dallas, we get into his remarkable journey — from the Marine Corps and law enforcement to technology, business, executive leadership, ADHD and personal growth.

This is a conversation about ADHD in adults, ADHD leadership, executive leadership, entrepreneurship, self-doubt, career transformation, resilience and discovering that the way your brain works can become part of your strength.

Trombonist & Composer Ryan Keberle | Here Is Donato!, João Donato & Brazilian Jazz

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with acclaimed jazz trombonist and composer Ryan Keberle, discussing his new 2026 album Here Is Donato!.

We first caught up with Ryan back in 2020, and now we're back together to explore his latest project, a flurry of activity in his musical world, and his ongoing connection to Brazilian music.

Alongside his São Paulo-based band Collectiv do Brasil, Keberle celebrates the music of legendary Brazilian composer and pianist João Donato, one of the most influential voices in Brazilian music. The project brings together the improvisational freedom of modern jazz with the rhythmic and melodic richness of MPB (música popular brasileira), creating a sound filled with warmth, lyricism, rhythmic subtlety and collective interplay.

Here Is Donato! is a vibrant exploration of Donato's enduring music, viewed through the distinctive lens of Ryan Keberle and Collectiv do Brasil. The result is a fresh meeting point between Brazilian music, jazz improvisation, contemporary composition and ensemble creativity.

In this wide-ranging Neon Jazz conversation, we get into the making of Here Is Donato!, the music of João Donato, Ryan's work with Collectiv do Brasil, the relationship between jazz and MPB, his evolution as an artist, his connection to Brazil and plenty more.

Ryan will also celebrate the album with a CD release show at Smalls Jazz Club in New York City on November 11, 2026.
