What Are You Working On?

It's been three years to the date since Igor and Ericson started this podcast and if ever there was a time to check in it's during a global catastrophe. 

It's the special (didn't know it was going to happen) end of the year, post series, bonus episode featuring Ericson answering questions received two months ago from Igor for an entirely different podcast. Ericson reviews himself, his accomplishments, and how much he misses his old friend in this retrospective final episode of What Are You Working On?

Igor and Ericson discuss the pitfalls and costs of delaying tasks even by a day. 

Igor and Ericson both lament their lax attitude towards completing their weekly challenge and look at ways to be more productive in the coming week. 

Igor and Ericson start off the shortest more concise episode ever only to get caught up in a bunch of digressive questions after agreeing to compete in the same challenge and see who performs better by the end of the week.

This episode might be unbearable to listen to due to the fact that Igor had to use his phone to record in the middle of what he assures is a hotel lobby although sounds a lot like a disorganized soup kitchen for orphan children to Ericson. This week they join forces and hatch a plan to help Igor make his premiere video as excellent as it can be. 

This episode was recorded on time but for some reason went out late.  In this episode, Igor gets ready for comic con as Ericson holds a secret he can't reveal until next week. 

Ericson get's a small taste of the lime light as he experience his own uptick in twitter followers and Igor prepares to focus on the only thing he has left to do: finish his video

Igor fails to even remember his challenge as Ericson accomplishes his in light of an epiphany about the trappings of a consumerist mindset while both gentleman prepare to make separate appearance on two popular YouTube channels. 

Ericson falls ill after stressing himself to the point of sickness as Igor prepares to make a second pass to his video about being excited about your death. 

Igor finds the most sensationally productive way to procrastinate as Ericson misses half of his challenge to meditate by waking up only five minutes before recording the podcast. 

Igor and Ericson come face to face in "the studio" which results in a tighter episode despite more digressions from the topic at hand: focusing on progress. 

Ericson somehow finds a victory in his week even after failing to do anything he planned on but still landing a booking and Igor opens up and gets vulnerable about his earth-shattering revelation concerning his work ethic.   

One fallen domino sets off a chain reaction of failure as a sudden case of imposter syndrome causes Igor to fall behind in his new video series and Ericson chooses celebrating his birthday over getting ahead in his work. 

After a week of stretching his comedy muscles, Igor get's ready to set the stage for a huge leap forward for his brand with a new video as Ericson starts looking into last minute ways to retool his comedy show's title to help better get the word out and sell tickets.   Albert Camus: The Myth Of Sisyphus: https://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/00/pwillen1/lit/msysip.htm The Idiot Workshop: https://www.theidiotworkshop.com

Ericson yields big wins and an optimistic attitude despite getting dropped by his manager while Igor realizes he's accomplishing more than he thought despite desperately needing to write down a work-plan. 

Things take a huge 180 as Igor accomplishes almost everything he intended to including his weekly challenge with only seconds left on the buzzer while Ericson crashes and burns falling short of everything with the exception of posting his stand-up shot on Reddit which yields less than stellar results.    Ericson’s Stand-Up Shot https://www.reddit.com/r/standupshots/comments/69617r/the_purest_form_of_depression/

Igor is in New York on a gig and Ericson is exhausted from lack of sleep in this third and scattered shot episode full of recording issues and disappointments as our two heroes face their week of failures and forgotten commitments and figure out what they're going to do moving forward. 

They've both got microphones now! Igor and Ericson review their first week getting things done! Who succeeded at their first challenge and who failed! How Igor is going to tackle editing his secret multi-camera project with only a Macbook Air at his disposal and the results of Ericson's first bringer show at The Comedy Store!

It's the inaugural episode!  And like any up and coming start up: things didn't go exactly as planned. Igor didn't have his microphones and Ericson couldn't get the recorder to work. In this episode Igor and Ericson start things off with thoughts on wether or not the show is a good idea, the struggles of getting friends and people to invest in your career, and of course talk about what they are working on this week.
