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.

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.

Magic Words https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug11_Post.mp3 Language and thought are two sides of the same coin. Your thoughts generate your language.

Everything Costs Something https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22July20_Post.mp3 A lot of things in life are inherently unpleasant, but necessary. This is the cost of being a human.
