Bite-Sized Philosophy#58: You Are So Much More (Kyle Hagge 5/5)This is the 5th and final episode with Kyle Hagge, episode 58 of this podcast, and 8 of the 24-episode series in 2022. You should write down your thoughts and theories, in a private journal, in a public blog, just somewhere. It forces you to reinforce your thoughts and refine your ideas. That's a part of why I started this podcast two years ago! This week has been fantastic, and such a great conversation for me to learn from and be able to listen back through with Kyle. Monday, we talked about building community in a pandemic, Tuesday we talked...2022-01-2114 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#57: Range in Careers and Collecting Dots (Kyle Hagge 4/5)Range by David Epstein is a book about careers, re-framing how we get to success. Often, our careers don’t look like past generations. We don’t pick a career at 18, get hired as a junior employee, and work there for 47 years before we retire. That’s extremely rare. Instead, we move through many roles and positions in our career, accumulating skills and data points throughout. We learn what we like and don’t like, what we’re good at and what we hate. We get to be beginners in a lot of places, and experts in many more...2022-01-2017 min

Use this episode as a reminder and a boost for your resolutions to be able to jump-start the new year and make it as good as you can make it.

Bite-Sized Philosophy#55: Weak Ties and How To Build Your Own Challenge Network (Kyle Hagge 2/5)Today’s episode talks primarily about a “personal board room” or a “Challenge Network” and I want to explain some terms before we jump in. If you’re familiar with the idea, feel free to jump forward in this episode 90 seconds and jump straight to the intro and the content from Kyle. But otherwise, here’s a quick intro. A challenge network is a group of people who can provide feedback and act as a sounding board for you in your career. Adam Grant famously uses his challenge network to edit all of his books, but it can be a group...2022-01-1812 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#51: If You Change Nothing, Nothing Will ChangeWelcome back! This is the first of a 24-episode contract beginning in 2022. I've already recorded an interview with Kyle Hagge and have a couple more scheduled. Between those and some solo episodes, there's a lot of content that I'm very excited about that's coming. This podcast is built around the idea of Live By Design. This is a concept that says you have responsibility and ownership of your life. That your actions have consequences and you can make your own decisions with agency. To go along with that is the idea of this: If you change nothing...2022-01-0507 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#50: Planning for 2022 part 250 Episodes. Wow. This was my goal when I started this show nearly two years ago, and we're there. We did it. I said at 50 episodes I could re-evaluate if Bite-Sized Philosophy was a project I wanted to continue, and for the moment, it still is. I'm planning to renew the show for 24 more episodes in 2022 and then will check in again at episode 74. This is the past-year review. The New Year is upon us, and that means there will be all sorts of resolutions. Promises to ourselves that we don’t keep very well and do...2021-12-2913 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#49: Planning for 2022 part 1: ValuesThis is going to be part 1 of a two-part series to preparing for 2022. What can you do this week to prepare yourself for the year ahead and set yourself up to have some wins next year that you didn’t get this year? Today we’ll be talking about values and Wednesday will be about a Year in Review. “The more clear I am about what my goals are, the more easily I can say no.” - Samin Nosrat But if everything is a priority, nothing is.

Bite-Sized Philosophy#48: You Choose How You RespondFor a lot of people, the holiday season is wonderful. But just because it’s the most wonderful time of the year doesn’t make it easy. There are distant relatives in town, traveling to see loved ones, and more this Christmas and New Years. It can be hard to deal with, especially with COVID going on still. But no matter what’s going on, you have the power to choose how you respond. As Epictetus says: The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearl...2021-12-2209 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#47: Just Make Sure They Are Your Mistakes - Fiona AppleWe’re going to make mistakes every single day. In everything we try, we won’t be perfect. You won’t, I won’t, no one will. So make mistakes on purpose, with intention. Just make sure they are your mistakes. Dream big, fly high, shoot for the stars. And then document the mistakes you’ve made, keep track of what works and what doesn’t, and journal, meditate, and grow from your mistakes. Not everything will be a mistake, and the more you try, the more you’ll succeed. Every Monday and Wednesday, I publish a bite...2021-12-2005 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#46: Try Doing Something Good - Joseph Gordon-LevittNegativity doesn’t impress me. When people can pick an argument apart, it’s not impressive to me. The world defaults to chaos and ruin. Being able to drag someone else’s action down is just the default, it’s easy to do. What’s hard to do is something good. It’s hard to commit to being a positive force and do something positive, knowing how many people are waiting to pick it apart and drag you for it. This episode has 12 small actions you can do in the next month to be a positive force for change a...2021-12-1509 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#45: Desire is a contract - Naval Ravikant"Desire’s a contract you make to be unhappy until you get what you want. You become disturbed because you want something. Then you work really hard to get it and are miserable in the meantime. Finally, when you get it, you revert to the state you were in before you had it. It’s not like you achieve some peak level of bliss that you stay on forever. No single thing will make you happy forever" - Naval Ravikant Appreciate your accomplishments and rest on your laurels for a few minutes. It's okay to ackn...2021-12-1311 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#43: Have No Fear Of Perfection (Or Imperfection) - Salvador DaliHave No Fear of Perfection, You'll never reach it. - Salvador Dali. Salvador Dali was perhaps one of the most well-known artists of the 20th century, painting the masterpiece The Persistence of Memory (that's the one with the melting clocks) and other surrealist works. Perfection isn't something that we need to fear, because it's unattainable. Perhaps even more relevant, imperfection isn't something to fear, because it's inevitable. If we can't avoid it, why fear it? Every Monday and Wednesday, I publish a bite-sized episode on fulfillment, living by design, working hard, career growth, and mental m...2021-12-0606 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#39: How Do You Know How Tall You Are? - T.S. EliotT.S. Eliot was one of the greatest poets of the first half of the 20th century. His works have outlived him by more than 75 years, and they will continue to be known for at least 75 more. If you’re not in over your head, how do you know how tall you are? In other words, if you haven’t stepped past your limit, how do you know where it is? The narrative you’re telling yourself about your limitations and your abilities may be selling you short. You can dream bigger. You can dig deeper. You can do...2021-11-2207 min

For Bite-Sized Philosophy, it's a little new to explore this topic, but I really enjoyed Jack reflecting on why he didn't pursue it as a career and how the skills he learned screenwriting help him to think about his own content creation differently than most people do.

Bite-Sized Philosophy#30: I Will Try Again Tomorrow.Courage isn't always grand or noteworthy. Sometimes it's a quiet voice at the end of the day that says, "I will try again tomorrow." Whatever you're working on, no matter how it goes, try again tomorrow. Get up and keep going. That's what I'm focusing on in life right now. It can be hard to pursue goals that are a long way off, so pursue a goal that you can work towards tomorrow. And try again. This is related to episode 4: The Failure Maze.

Bite-Sized Philosophy#29: Do Something Today That Scares YouFear drives us and controls us in our lives, but perhaps not the way it should. Instead of running from the things that scare us, we should run towards them. Do the thing today that scares you. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Every day, I try to do something that scares me, whether that's sending a cold email to someone I've never met or publishing a podcast (yes, that scares me). I try every day to do something that I'm afraid of because it helps me to grow, it helps m...2021-11-0307 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#28: It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time!"Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time." This has come to be the refrain of the defeated, but in fact, it should be celebrated. The only ideas we should follow are the ones that seem like good ideas at the time. There are too many factors at play for every good idea and decision to turn out well, but that doesn't need to make them a bad idea or a bad decision. Instead, it just means fortune wasn't on your side. It simply means that you didn't catch the break you wanted. We should...2021-11-0108 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#27: Don't Sweat The Small Stuff (and it's all small stuff)In this episode of Bite-Sized Philosophy, I'm starting a new series looking at quotes and ideas from Dr. Richard Carlson in his book: Don't Sweat The Small Stuff (and it's all small stuff). This is the main idea of the entire book (which you can buy at a used bookstore or online), and helps to put things in perspective. What really matters? Is it family? Is it a cause? Is it that someone isn't properly wearing their mask in the store? Focus on what's truly important, and don't sweat the small stuff. As...2021-10-2709 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#26: Don't Suffer Imagined TroublesWhen you spend time worrying, is that time well-spent? Often for me, instead of helping me be more prepared for something, I just feel the emotions, stress, and anxiety in full before it all happens. Then, when it actually happens and comes to fruition, I feel the emotions, stress, and anxiety again. In full. For a second time. Worrying is pointless, but what can we do about it? Stop suffering imagined troubles, with notes from Mark Twain and Marcus Aurelius in this episode. As always, continue the conversation on Twitter or Instagram and stay in...2021-10-2509 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#25: What is Memento Mori?I think about death a lot. I know I'm going to die. So are you. We all are one day. I use that as motivation to make sure that I make the most of my day today. I'm not going to take today for granted because I'm playing with house money. So are you. What are you going to do with it? The idea of this isn't meant to be depressing, it's meant to be encouraging. Today is a blessing, and you get to breathe and feel the fresh air. As...2021-10-2009 min

Bite-Sized Philosophy#24: Never Be Overheard Complaining; Not Even To YourselfI'm excited we're back in a publishing rhythm now! This episode is about finding the positivity in life, rather than leaning towards negativity and complaining. It comes from Marcus Aurelius' Stoic Meditations and includes some fun practices to cut complaining out of our lives. Here is Will Bowen's vision for A Complaint-Free World and here's the first blog post that introduced me to the 21-day No Complaint Experiment. You can cut out complaining if you focus on it.

Today's big idea is this: What would happen if you deleted your social media accounts? As is clear from my being on Instagram and Twitter, I still have my accounts (and the apps on my phone). If you don't enjoy social media right now (or are struggling with focus), I challenge you to delete your apps for 2...2021-10-1126 min

It's been nearly a year since I published, but I'm settling back into a routine and have a few episodes queued up, planning to make this a consistent show once again. This episode talks about my time away and coming back to publishing as well as my plans moving forward. As always, it's less than 10 minutes, so it's a short, easy listen!
