The New York Times carries a transcript of Ezra Klein interviewing the venerable professor Noam Chomsky. The interview in its entirety is illuminating.

Rodriguez, who is also the managing director at gener8tor Music, said he learned about plants from Alfaro and started collecting them during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said he didn’t imagine himself working in a plant store at first but employed his experience in the music industry to start the business.
