Biggie "Five Years of Everyday Feeling Like Saturday"

1936 - Biggie

Biggie returns to Adventures In Design five years after walking away from the music industry to talk about what retirement actually feels like once the fantasy becomes real.  

What starts as a simple anniversary check-in quickly turns into a deep conversation about freedom, money, identity, ambition, parenting, aging, burnout, and the strange reality of achieving the dream most people spend their entire lives chasing.

Biggie opens up about:

  • Retiring during the pandemic and losing his obsession with “the grind”

  • What it feels like to remove financial stress from your life

  • Raising kids while still being young enough to fully enjoy it

  • Traveling the world with his family

  • The psychological void that appears after achieving major life goals

  • Earning his black belt in jiu-jitsu after a 10-year journey

  • Why mountaineering has become his newest obsession

  • The emotional aftermath of leaving the music industry behind

  • Watching Turnstile explode after retirement

  • The breakup of Every Time I Die

  • Losing a close friend and booking agent, Dave Shapiro

  • Politics, money, media overload, and why modern life feels increasingly disconnected

The episode becomes an honest conversation about success, purpose, and whether freedom actually solves life’s problems, or simply replaces them with new ones.

A thoughtful, funny, brutally honest check-in with one of the most requested returning guests in AID history.
