The Precursor to Conflict
Short episode! I just needed to connect some dots so we can get into what I'm really excited to get into (coming next week).
There are no moral obligations....probably
I build on the metaphor of the box and get into why the box is so powerful. I also take some fairly heretical and blasphemous roads to get there, so buckle up.
You’re in control of your box

Am I actually Ben Affleck?
Sexy Task Management (for freelancers or remote workers in 2019 and beyond)
Here's how I manage my tasks (after a long time of doing it wrong). I recommend watching the video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0IDWHio5qk
There's a difference between strategy and tactics (also, I'm TERRIBLE at chess)
Be sure to check out the video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPUeAeGcQAM

Commas Cont'd (and a thing about The OA and music/productivity)
I went and found my Style guide from college to back up my comma comments.

People don't know, how to use commas!
A Reaction to The Inventor: Out For Blood Documentary (and some other things)

To All The Haters Saying Don't Watch Game of Thrones
After watching the premier of GoT season 8, it hit me that lots of business gurus were going to start talking about how people shouldn't watch. I had thoughts (obvi).
S3E4 - Featuring Kevin "The Soul Assassin" Ross and Marvin "The Mad Lion" Madariaga
Absolute legends in their own right, Kevin and Marvin, stop by to chat a bit about fighting and some of the differences between the old school fight mentality and the struggle of a fighter coming up now.
As per the usual, Wick the Bear makes a cameo appearance and I do my best to stay quiet and let them talk, although I don't do a GREAT job of that, but we have some good conversation.
Enjoy.
S3E3 - Sure, but do YOU respect you?
S3E2 - The Truth Doesn't Really Matter
S3E1 - The Wife, The Mistress, and The Vice - Monday Morning Coffee #37
People (myself included most of all) often make the mistake of thinking that they are capable of handling anything that comes their way.

S2E9 - Ride the Mean
S2E8 - "You are my son, and the one true king"

S2E6 - Foreshadowing....
S2E5 - Ohhhhh THAT'S what I've been doing wrong...

It's a bit depressing, but I think there is value in relating to the low points.

You can tell I'm trying to find a way to both rationalize my situation AND navigate my way out of it.
S2E1 - The business is in shambles
This is the first few hours of realizing that my business was in huge trouble, and my emotional reaction to that realization.
