Eric Teplitz / Kevin Kelly Season 2 Episode 24

Kevin Kelly is a person of restless curiosity and an avid maker of things.

As a child, he built a model railway and a nature museum in his basement. Since then he has gone on to build a house, small mail-order businesses, and an adventurous life filled with travel and many unexpected twists and turns. He has taken innumerable photographs, co-founded WIRED Magazine, authored a number of books, and he creates a new piece of art every day.

His most recent book is a collection of 450 pithy bits of advice on a wide range of subjects called  Excellent Advice for Living: Wisdom I Wish I'd Known Earlier.
