'What Fills The Gap' is a mixtape featuring philosopher @Alan Watts. The track was included in the 'Chillest Downtempo Mix' on @Spotify which I discovered through the /r/woahdude@subreddit in 2014 and listened to regularly for some time after. Hearing 'What Fills The Gap', on this playlist, was my introduction to Watts' teachings and the beginning of a transformative path. Nearly four years later, after my @Stoned and Single (advert) sparked a friendship, I stumbled upon a tweet from @Will Cady, the Head of Brand Strategy at @Reddit, and realized... he was the artist. ::embed[https://www.youtube.com/embed/cmT3t2Kdr3I]{provider=youtube}

Xbox

In December 2019, when Microsoft announced their new Xbox, they used the same recording of Alan Watts. In chatting about this with Will, he shared that it was buried in an 8-hour lecture which called into question... how did Microsoft, or their agency, come up with the idea to use it in their trailer? ::embed[https://www.youtube.com/embed/0tUqIHwHDEc]{provider=youtube}
