Ep 138 - Perfectly Natural

In this episode, Myke and I discuss the idea that perfection is where amateurs stop. That pros keep pushing to the point of failure, because that’s where the learning starts and the task becomes natural. We also try a new recording technique for the next few episodes due to some changes being made at 70db HQ. Therefore, Myke sounds great and I sound like Lady Gaga.

Ep 136 - Superheroes  

In this episode, we talk about the idea that we are all superheroes. That all of us, sometimes many times a day, push ourselves past our self-imposed limits, struggles, difficulties, and fears and become better than our internal dialog often tells us we are. When the task or time calls for it, we step into the booth as a person incapable and step out the other side as another doing things we never dreamed we could.

Ep 135 - Reflection  

In this episode, Myke and I discuss the nature of reflection (self and otherwise). The idea that reflection is as much looking at the present and planning for the future as it is thinking about the past. By taking the time to reflect on where we are, we can better see where it is we want to be. Reflection is often about evaluating the now against the then. By reflecting on where we were, we can easily see if we have grown beyond. That, perhaps, all of these tweets, status updates, etc. are opportunities for such reflection.
