#124: They've been diverse-ing for a while (with Erik Summierfield)

What do neurodiversity and neurodivergent actually mean? Are they useful terms? Are we using them wrong? All this and more in our ongoing pursuit to get ourselves cancelled.

Jordan's back to chat about good and bad coaching clients, dealing with ADHD, having fish, going gray, and making phones as boring as possible.

#121: How are you good at Scrabble but you can't write a sentence? (with Erik Summerfield)

Jace says (over and over and over) that Erik could learn to spell if he tried. Erik finally gets mad, which is an emotion we didn't believe was capable of having. Lots of other stuff, I dunno, who cares.

Critter was using the wrong mic or something. Sounds like water trash.

We talked about this article: https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-guys-unless-you-are-really-hot-you-are-probably-better-off-not-wasting-your-2ddf370a6e9a

Also, performance reviews.

#107: My decor style is sperm (with Seraphina Orsini)

#107: My decor style is sperm (with Seraphina Orsini)

"It's listed under neo-traditional, or possibly coastal."

Seraphina is a Staff Engineer at Wayfair and one of Critter's former direct reports and current favorite people. After like 20 minutes of truly amateur technical difficulties (which we cut out), we kinda-sorta got it together although Jace had to use his built-in mic so he sounds kinda trash. We talked about all kinds of stuff - therapy, cursing, alcohol, and why Critter needs to be better than everyone.

P.S. Skipping episode #106 because the audio saved weird and would have taken a ton of editing, and anyways it's just Jace calling Critter a bad visionary for an hour.

Listen as he makes fun of Critter's peanut butter obsession, brags about making music with Jordan Hirsch (from episodes #69 and #86), and whines about the current state of video games.

Erik joins us to talk about spanking kids and team jelling. Jace wants to hear some general tips for jelling teams, which infuriates Critter because different teams jell or don't jell for different reasons. They mostly yell at each other while poor Erik tries and fails to extract any value in the conversation.

After a boring discussion about lifting routines, we chatted about whether we'd clone a loved one if they died. That led us into a formal request from Jace to just toss him into a dumpster when he dies. Also the quote "your ashes smelled like farts" is in there somewhere.

A stomach bug has exploded Critter's family. Jace writes gratitude statements every day, such as "I am thankful for Critter's love and brilliance." Critter set up a habit tracker to charge him money if he doesn't stick to his goals.

#87: We are objectively, overwhelmingly miserable (with Caroline Casals)

Caroline is a Software Architect at Phase2, a biology nerd, and one of the most fascinating conversationalists I know. We chatted about the poison of convenience, the power of hobbies, the "I am owed" mindset, and the glorification of being a victim.

Here are the links she mentioned:

#86: Critter's 1-1 coaching session with Jordan Hirsch (and no Jace)

***You can find/hire Jordan at https://jordanhirschcoaching.com/***

Jordan joined us in episode #69 to talk about life and career coaching, and this time he came on to graciously give Critter a real life live coaching session. Thanks Jordan, that was fantastic! 

Notes from Jordan:

--------------

Big shoutout to Daniel Stillman who taught me the concept of "arriving mentally where you are physically" (and many other things!) and Robert Ellis, who taught me about A to B-prime and the importance of questing.
