Easy At First https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Sept27_Post.mp3 A long time ago, I went skiing for the first time. With my boy scout troop. At first it was pretty cool.

Generate Luck Opportunities
Different Experiences https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Sept16_Post.mp3 They say you shouldn’t judge somebody until you walk a mile in their shoes. This is a pretty common and basic idea. It’s one thing to get angry at people for not doing what you think they should. This is kind of an automatic response. With a little […]
Two Sided Luck
Fearless Brain https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Sept10_Post.mp3 I read an inspiring quote the other day, from Rocky Marciano, famous world champion boxer. “In the ring I never knew fear.” What does this mean?

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 […]
Gorilla Death Stare
Scariest Face Ever https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug19_Post.mp3 A gorilla is a pretty scary looking animal.

Your only hope would […]

Slipped In Thoughts https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug07_Post.mp3 Presuppositions are very powerful. For anything spoken or written, there are linguistic presuppositions.

Ditch Unattractive Behaviors
Intuitive Learning https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug06_Post.mp3 One way to figure out the best way to behave is to ask, “what would a caveman do?” Many anthropologists believe that every single problem in modern society is down to something called “instinct mismatch.” The instincts that drive most of our behaviors were calibrated a long time ago.

Fire People https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun20_Post.mp3 A long time ago, humans invented fire. And within two million years, our brains tripled in size. Why did that happen?

Usage Unknown https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun14_Post.mp3 Imagine having a humongous collection of tools. A huge garage with tools on all kinds of racks and in boxes and carefully organized. Maybe you bought the house on the cheap from an estate sale or something. And it came with all the tools. So, you figured, you’d […]
The Observational Ninja
Archetype https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun08_Post.mp3 James Bond is famous for a lot of things. Probably the way he says his name. Bond. James, Bond.
