Lessons Learned

The COVID season forced the world to adapt to working from home, making phone calls, and taking online meetings.  This helped us to be more efficient, but at what cost?  Talon and Jared talk about our personal experience with this since we started recording the podcast using video calls, how it's affected our relationships, and how meeting in person can be much, much better for our health.

Preconceived notion: New Jersey is a dump.

FACT: Only SOME of New Jersey is a dump. I bet you didn’t know the Appalachian trail ran through New Jersey, or that there were even mountains in the state!

This episode is all about preconceived notions and how other peoples opinions might affect how your own opinions are formed.

Have you ever heard the phrase “Don’t complain DOWN, complain UP?” There is a good reason for this.

You don’t want to soil the reputation of someone just because you may not get along with them that well.

Together at last! Well, 60% of us anyway. It was a real treat getting to record this episode together, in person! I think that's something we often take for granted. The little things. Like being able to see your friends in person and interact. And that's what this week's episode is all about. Make sure you enjoy the little things and the less significant moments, they may prove to have more meaning than you think!

Movies and TV are a great way to escape reality for awhile. We can even be inspired by what we see on the silver screen. However where must we draw the line? The things we see in movies and on TV can have a profound effect on our reality so much so it can move us into life changing decisions. Though this may be a good thing for some, it can be a bad thing as well as often we are greeted with unrealistic expectations from these platforms. In this episode, the boys discuss how to take a more realistic approach with what we see on the big screen.

Chris is back! Chris makes his permanent return to Lessons Learned after having to take a step away for awhile because of his job. It's easy for us to get caught up in our jobs for many reasons, especially in this day and age of "work from home." Whether it's an undesirable schedule, being on call, or having to work from home to begin with, it's important for us to separate from our work and get some time to ourselves. In this episode, the guys talk about some of the ways they shut off from work and unwind.

But what does it actually mean? In this episode we give you all some background and let you in on what we think our mission really is.

#LessonsLearned #Efficiency #Productivity

Rihanna once said, "Work work work work work." And living in a culture where productivity is valued so highly, for many people it seems like work is all they do. But is it too much, or is it just what we need? Many people struggle with the gap between what we consider productive and what we consider lazy. Where is the line? Is there a line at all? Maybe, it's all a matter of perspective. Have a listen, and tell us where you draw the line between lazy and productive., and if you let happiness guide the way.

#productivity #work #culture

Whether in a committed relationship or still dating, we've all been in a position where the actions of our significant other put up some red flags. Recognizing red flags can be difficult to spot and we often tend to ignore them because we romanticize our relationship with this person; making it even harder. In this episode, we discuss our experiences with red flags and how we've used those experiences to learn and grow to make our next relationship the healthiest it can be!
