Once And Future King https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22July12_Post.mp3 Lately I’ve been studying the origin story of the King Arthur legend.

Ancient Word Power https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22July07_Post.mp3 Words are very powerful. Or at least they can be. For most, words aren’t something to think about. We have a bunch of half baked ideas, and spit out a bunch of sounds. To the extent that others can understand our ideas, we’re pretty good. But […]
Easy Deep Connections
Communication Basics https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22July02_Post.mp3 Rapport is absolutely necessary. Luckily, it’s also pretty automatic. At least under normal circumstances.

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 […]
One Thought Shift
Russians https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May31_Post.mp3 A long while ago, I took an acting class. One of the guys I partnered with was Russian. But I didn’t believe him.

Use Your Words Well
Hypnotic Story https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May27_Post.mp3 The other day I saw a really good movie. Very well calibrated.

Owe Nobody https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May26_Post.mp3 Debt is an ancient problem. An ancient scourge on humanity. Even vampire bats have problems with debt. Seriously.

Flex Monkeys https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May24_Post.mp3 Arguing with people online can be fun. But it’s also a no-win situation.
