  The Ultimate One Has to Go Challenge | 250 Rounds

  Sep 30, 20262h 14m

  One has to go. For this A New Lens special, I’m taking on 250 rounds where four options go in… and only three survive. Food, movies, travel, technology, nostalgia, money, relationships, everyday life, and eventually some choices that are way harder than they have any business being. The rule is simple: I have to eliminate one every single time. No skipping. No “it depends.” No keeping all four. Some of these were immediate. Some of them took way too long. And a few genuinely made me question my own priorities. Play along and let me know which round you disagreed with me on the most — just drop the number and what YOU would eliminate. If you make it through all 250, I genuinely want to know. Thanks for watching A New Lens. — Wild Will #OneHasToGo #ChallengeVideo #ANewLens #PickOne #UltimateChallenge

  Nobody Owes You Anything — And That’s Actually Freeing

  Sep 28, 20264 min

  Nobody owes you anything. That sounds harsh at first, but I think there’s something freeing about accepting it. This is a conversation about expectations, disappointment, taking ownership of your own life, and what changes when you stop waiting for other people to give you the opportunity, recognition, support, or outcome you think you’re owed. This episode actually comes from the early days of the show, back when A New Lens was still called Intern to Expert — so if you hear that name in the intro, that’s why. The original upload was audio-only, and more than a year later I wanted to come back to it, add animation, and give the idea a proper visual treatment. A lot has changed since those early episodes, including the name of the show, but I still stand behind the core idea here. Curious where you land on it: Does “nobody owes you anything” feel freeing, harsh, motivating, or some mix of all three? Thanks for watching. — Wild Will #ANewLens #Perspective #Motivation #AnimatedPodcast

  We Painted Each Other While Wearing Sunglasses

  Sep 24, 202630 min

  Apparently the best way to have a serious conversation about art is to put on sunglasses and try to paint each other. I sat down with an artist, we each grabbed a canvas, put the shades on, and attempted portraits of one another while talking about art, creativity, interpretation, the process of making something, and the question that always seems to come up eventually: what actually makes something art? The paintings went about as smoothly as you would expect. We unfortunately lost a chunk of the original interview footage, but we were able to salvage about 30 minutes of the conversation — along with plenty of the painting chaos — and I’m really glad we did. There’s something I love about having a genuinely thoughtful conversation while simultaneously doing something a little ridiculous. That’s pretty much A New Lens in a nutshell. So I want to hear from you: Which portrait came out better? And more importantly — does something have to be “good” to be good art? Let me know what you think below. If you enjoy strange experiments, good conversations, creative rabbit holes, and seeing the world through a slightly different lens, subscribe and stick around for more A New Lens. #Art #ArtistInterview #Painting #ANewLens #Creativity

  I Ranked All 50 States From Best to Worst | The Ultimate State Tier List

  Sep 19, 20261h 12m

  I finally did it — I ranked all 50 states. For this episode, I’m going through every state in the country and placing them into tiers based on the things that actually matter to me: scenery, things to do, food, culture, weather, places I’d want to visit, places I could actually see myself living, and of course a little completely subjective Wild Will judgment along the way. Some states were easy. Some were way harder than I expected. And there are definitely a few placements that are going to make people mad This is all in good fun, so if your state ends up somewhere disrespectful, make your case in the comments. I want to know: What state did I rank way too high? What state did I completely disrespect? What belongs in S Tier? And where does YOUR state belong? If you enjoy rankings, challenges, random rabbit holes, and long-form conversations, subscribe and stick around for more from A New Lens. #StateTierList #50States #ANewLens

  I Couldn’t Put This Book Down | The Quiet Collapse of Us (Book Club #16)

  Sep 17, 20266 min

  I genuinely could not put this one down. For Book Club #16, I read The Quiet Collapse of Us by Catherine Caragine — and what I expected to read over a few sittings turned into me sitting there for a few hours and reading the entire thing straight through. In this episode, I talk about my experience reading the book, what stood out to me, the moments that made me stop and think, and why the writing stayed with me after I finished. I don’t want to spoil the experience for anyone who hasn’t read it yet, because I think this is one worth going into for yourself. If you’ve already read The Quiet Collapse of Us, I’d love to hear what you thought. What stayed with you the most? And if you end up reading it because of this episode, come back and let me know. Find The Quiet Collapse of Us by Catherine Caragine on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G2L4YM44 Thanks for watching Book Club #16 and for continuing to read along with me on A New Lens. #TheQuietCollapseOfUs #BookClub #ANewLens
