The Zan and Jordan Show — Why Zan Won’t Show a Single Page — and the Lost Map of Bohemia
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most men chasing the writer’s life have the same fantasy: quit the corporate world, escape to Paris, find the bohemian enclave where great work just happens. But that Paris doesn’t exist anymore — and Zan would argue it never quite existed the way we imagine it.
In this episode, Jordan presses Zan for an update on his next book (still no release date — sorry, you’ve been warned), and Zan opens up about the slow, painterly way he writes: six hours a day in the chair, no Substack dribbles, no early drafts shown to anyone. Then the conversation turns to a question many men in our audience are quietly wrestling with: how do you hold a creative life and a corporate life in the same body, without one suffocating the other?
They move through the four archetypes of the would-be artist, the romance of place (Paris in the 20s, Brooklyn now, Bucharest, Bali), and the strange truth that even with the internet “democratising” creativity, most of us are working alone — without that gentle rivalry between Picasso and Matisse looking over each other’s shoulders.
Watch until the end for Zan’s plans for a literary retreat in Venice this autumn, haunting the ghost of Casanova through the city that shaped him.

ARS AMORATA is a celebration of the art of seduction, the rebirth of romance, and a lifelong quest for beauty and adventure.
Ars Amorata is a philosophy of beauty. It is a way of life. It is not a religion. It is a belief system, similar to the way one might call Stoicism a belief system or a way of life. It is a layer that exists (or not) below all religion and all social structures. And it belongs to all of you.
Philosophers throughout the ages have argued whether beauty is objective or subjective, but in my view, beauty is neither. It is neither inherent as a property of the object (the objective view) nor is it in the eye of the beholder (the subjective view). Beauty is a third thing altogether.
Beauty is prime. It stands alone. It is a thing apart, in Kant's words: a Thing-In-Itself (Ding an sich). Beauty emanates from what Aristotle called the Unmoved Mover, what Plotinus called The One, what scientists call the Big Bang, and what John in the New Testament called the Word or Logos.
Ars Amorata is an attempt to lift Beauty to its rightful place as the primary guiding principle in our hearts and in the world.
