Mike and Tony firmly believe that uncensored, long-form conversation is one of the most effective forms of communication.

In Episode 65, Mike and Tony explore religion, the presidential race, building community, the future of A.I., the future of mankind and much, much more!
Just two regular dudes exploring life through conversation. Join the conversation!

Travis Lupher's passion has always been making movies. He directed, shot and cut the 48 hour film "Time Changes Everything." He followed that up by directing, editing and shooting the film "Dead Vengeance" in 2011. That film would go on to win "Best Editing", "Best Cinematography" and "Best sound design" in the 48 Hour Film Festival. In between those two films Travis had the experience of working on a campaign of Doritos commercials that would really introduce him to just what can be done when you have the right team in place. That is why he created his own company, LA Motion Pix. To establish a team of people that could take movie making to the next level.
