Free Idea

Hey friend — thanks for riding along. In this episode I’m messin’ around with where energy really comes from: mindset, biology, or some weird mix of both. We talk about people who seem to run forever, people who need lots of rest, and how going with your flow (vs. fighting it) changes everything.

But dont forget the basics — sleep, breathe, vitamins, move your body — and then figure out the things that...

Hey friend — I went 19 days off the news and social feeds, played weird indie games, lost my streak of politics, and discovered boring stuff exciting again.

I also went house hunting and ranted about these "disrespectful" prices asking a quarter mil for the landlord special and major repairs before purchase — the kind of stuff that makes you question buying a house.

If you’re curious about a social media detox, or...

Hey — it’s Mario from the Free Idea Podcast sharing quick, messy thoughts: imagine a phone made entirely of screens (all sides, changing skins like Call of Duty guns), cars that can diagnose themselves without a scanner, and little UX fixes like a "hide keyboard" button for the iphone. Useful ideas I want manufacturers to actually ship. Also: I’m on my 15-day break from news, politics, and gaming — try a dig...

Hey — if you're heading overseas, listen up: VPN before you land, a reliable phone + power bank, a local SIM (or international plan), and a couple of unlocked credit cards will save your life. Pack light, wear your heaviest stuff on the plane, and keep originals like passports handy.

Study the airport map, sync your phone time as soon as you land, grab an offline translator, and never underestimate body language — it&rs...

I went five days avoiding all the politics, economy panic, and “crisis” headlines on my feeds and it’s been surprisingly peaceful. No more outrage-bait titles, less stress, and way more room to actually think.

I swapped doomscrolling for neutral stuff (food challenges, car fixes, random how-tos) and it helped me be present, notice the sky, and get things done. Try cutting out one thing you know drains you — ...

Hey — I recorded this the day after something terrible happened: Charlie Kirk was killed, and seeing it on high-def video made it feel unbearably close. I’m still sad, shaken, and worried about how this will ripple through our conversations, culture, and daily lives.

I don’t have neat answers — just a messy, honest reaction. If you’re feeling the weight of this too, you’re not alone. Let’s try to grieve, reflect, and resist the urg...

Hey — I tossed together some wild, money-making ideas from today’s episode: using map "red" traffic data to sell premium billboard time, a goofy video game where armored bugs pack heat, a searchable app that stores third‑party home inspections, and the tongue‑in‑cheek notion of AI chips for kids to supercharge learning.

If any of these spark you, go build it — and tell me how it turns out. I’m rooting for yo...

Hey — thanks for hopping into this episode. I’m driving through the wild lanes of Austin and tossing out ridiculous ideas like a boxing-glove steering wheel that punches you awake, colorful chameleon wheels, and a movie literally filmed from Tesla cameras.

It’s a half-rant, half-brainstorm about self-driving safety, savage comment sections, local voting apps, and the perfect driving rule: assume nobody around you ...

In this episode the host alternates between freewheeling personal monologue and quick indie game impressions. Expect reflections, recurring coughing, moments, and chaotic Austin-driving anecdotes that punctuate the flow.

The main topics are two indie titles: a surreal point-and-click, Little Misfortune (noted for its bittersweet, eerie story about childhood neglect and striking art and music), and a minimalist digging game where yo...
