They explore the idea that in any form of partnership—marital, professional, or parental—energy investment, kindness, and patience aren't always evenly distributed. One party might only be able to contribute 20% some days, which necessitates the other to cover the remaining 80%. They recognize the importance of open communication to quantify where each partner stands in their capacity to contribute. This honesty allows both parties to adjust their expectations and strategies accordingly. Moreover, they note that this understanding could be applied to various relationships, including those with children, who have varying energy levels and capacities. They conclude by challenging listeners to consider this concept in their own relationships and observe any changes in attitudes and dynamics.Instagram accounts noted on the show:Tim Ferris's interview with Brené Brown: https://www.instagram.com/p/CtHIjTXg5Bp/@TimFerriss - https://www.instagram.com/timferriss/@BreneBrown - https://www.instagram.com/brenebrown/Love what do here?

    In their discussion on productivity profiles, Jessie and Angela explore the concepts of procrastination, precrastination, and perfectionism, using personal experiences and concepts from the book "Anti-Time Management" by Richie Norton. They break down each profile: a procrastinator delays tasks, precrastinators act immediately due to anxiousness, and perfectionists use avoidance because they fear imperfect results. While recognizing their own tendencies towards procrastination and perfectionism, the hosts suggest that no profile is inherently negative. Instead, they propose that each can be harnessed effectively: procrastinators can set personal deadlines, precrastinators can create start-time rules once they have all the necessary information, and perfectionists can learn to accept "done" instead of "perfect". The hosts also highlight the benefits of accountability and project management tools to improve productivity, regardless of one's default profile.RESOURCES:“Anti-Time Management” by Richie NortonLove what do here?

    Lies! Those Who Can't Do, Teach | MM#101

    In this episode, Jessie and Angela chat about the phrase “those who can't do, teach” and how it suggests teaching is a fallback for those who don't have the skills to do something. However, this statement is a lie. Jessie and Angela share their two cents on this statement and explain teaching requires skill, knowledge, and expertise on a topic. In fact, the “those who can't do, teach” phrase is just a means of putting others down, and has no basis in fact at all. This episode is a pep talk to ignore those that try to put you down, and if you have a passion and message to share with the world, you are most certainly qualified to do so.Love what do here?
