Online Meetings & The Importance of Real Connection | 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.

Building Self Confidence

Preconceived Notions

Preconceived Notions

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.

Movie Culture's Effect on Reality

Movie Culture's Effect on Reality

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.

The Balance: Work Life & Home Life

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. 

Also, if you're watching on YouTube please excuse the technical difficulties!

Living in a Culture of Productivity

Living in a Culture of 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.

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!
