Money And Time https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug26_Post.mp3 Imagine having a dollar. And you have two choices with that dollar. Choice one is to spend it on something. You buy that something, enjoy that something, and then you have a memory of enjoying that something. One kind of weird way to describe this is turning […]
Ambition Energy
Food Chasers https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug25_Post.mp3 A long, long time ago, we were persistence hunters. Or so some anthropologists believe. This is why we have arched feet and relatively hairless, sweaty bodies. The arched feet help us run for a long time without damaging our joints. Kind of like shock absorbers. Our sweaty […]
Choose Your Archetype
Choose Your Role https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug24_Post.mp3 We humans love stories. And within these stories there are common archetypes. One that I like is the Jack Reacher type. He’s very much like the Clint Eastwood, “man with no name.” Which was modeled after a similar character played by Toshiro Mifune. Eastwood’s character was […]
Build Your Future Now
Future Projections https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug23_Post.mp3 I used to like reading Stephen King. Lately, not so much. But I remember one of his characters had what people would call “OCD.” Turns out OCD is a real disorder and those who really DO have OCD don’t like that people claim to have OCD, in a self-deprecating, […]
Think Beyond Normal
Game Everything https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug22_Post.mp3 I’ve always been a fan of game theory. It’s an interesting way to “game out” pretty much anything. And unless you make it a point to study game theory, you don’t really understand that it is everywhere. And it can be applied in a kajillion places. One popular […]
Ditch Useless Shortcuts
Brain Power https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug21_Post.mp3 Chess players burn a lot of calories. It doesn’t look that way. They’re just sitting there, right? But gram for gram, our brain burns more calories than any other organ. Our brain is a very resource intensive organ. Chess players, if they don’t eat enough, lose a […]
Sharpen Your Thinking Skills
Long Game https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug20_Post.mp3 There’s an interesting theory posed by an economist. A couple of economists actually. The first compared life before agriculture to life after agriculture. When you are a hunter gatherer, you are always living in the now. If you are hungry, you go out and kill something now and […]
Gorilla Death Stare
Scariest Face Ever https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug19_Post.mp3 A gorilla is a pretty scary looking animal. If you were out on afternoon stroll and you found yourself face to face with a gorilla, you couldn’t do much. You couldn’t run, or fight, or slowly slink away and go in the opposite direction. Your only hope would […]
Critical Life Skills
Always Practice https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug18_Post.mp3 If you wanted to be an athlete, you’d need skills in a couple of categories. Specific skills and general skills. Specific skills would be skills related to the sport. Champions in one sport are rarely champions in another sport. Michael Jordan, arguably one of the best basketball players […]
Invent The Real You
In Character https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug17_Post.mp3 Way back when Robin Williams was an up and coming comedian, he auditioned for this first TV role, “Mork and Mindy.” He played an alien stuck on earth (named Mork) who lived with a human (Mindy). And he showed up to the audition in character. He sat in his […]
