This week, on the Fitness + Technology podcast, host Bryan O'Rourke welcomes colleague and newest FITC member Annie Fältman to the show. Annie is the owner of 360 Träningscenter in Sweden. Within the last year, technology has always played an important role in their clubs with memberships, onboarding, and stay connected through the member journey. They recently joined FIT-C to get the inspiration they need to keep staying relevant and to be part of a great network of best practice. Today, Annie joins Bryan to discuss all things related to inventful solutions, retention, and the customer journey. One Powerful Quote: 6:20: “The challenge has been to be very inventful in many ways…you're forced to invent something to make it work there and then. And there's no room for thinking about it, and trying it, and testing it. And you just push it out there.” 4-10 Bullet Points (w/ timestamps) - Highlighting key topics discussed: 4:30: Bryan opens the show by asking Annie on her background and how 360 Träningscenter was formed. 6:53: Bryan inquires with Annie about her most inventful solution at 360 Träningscenter. 8:12: Annie describes when 360 Träningscenter deployed their app to measure retention and support their business model. 9:44: Bryan and Annie discuss customer experience and NPS as an ongoing engagement strategy. 11:40: Bryan and Annie discuss Sweden as an early adopter of technology.

Adventurers of The CascadePete Doorish and Bryan Burdo have set many First Ascents in the mountains of the Cascades in Washington. Pete is known for obscure and big wall first ascents along with some epic adventures that’ll leave your heart leaping for comfort. He has been climbing for over 50 years starting before the emergence of sport climbing and gym climbing. His passion evolved from climbing and first ascents to long adventures on High Routes in the Cascade mountains. Kyle Mccrohan wrote an article with some incredible adventures of a similar style. Bryan has set one of the longest bolted sport routes in the United States totaling 1800 feet of pitches no harder than 5.9. He had started setting routes during the emergence of sport climbing and using fixed protection. His route setting style emphasizes safety even on all difficulties of climbing including easy climbs which was an unusual practice of his time. He is a prolific route setter with 100’s of first ascents in the Methow Valley in Washington and many more throughout the state.Pete and Bryan have a deep friendship and a long history of adventures. Despite their passions no longer intersecting, they are close friends with ever-growing bonds. I see them as prolific adventurers climbing new routes in the Cascades in a time where climbing culture was emerging, beta was becoming less scarce, and adventure was more likely happenstance.I look at Pete and Bryan as the embodiment of an adventurer and how it fits into our modern lives. They pursued passions that required them to confront and manage risk. Our life is tremendously easier than that of the intensity of wartime or maybe the physical and psychological demands of our pre-modern life. It is not to say that we do not experience adversity, some more than others, but there is a value in physical and psychological adversity. We grow, improve, and transcend because of adversity. Imposing constraints on other people because you believe it to be good for them has a lot of inherent problems. Rather, voluntary suffering, adversity, and even risk of life(whether real or felt) through recreation(a self-inspired hobby) may provide us the benefits of living in a world not as safe and comfortable as ours without disavowing making the world a better and less severe place. It is not that a person goes out to face risk wanting to die, it is that someone goes out to face a risk they believe they can manage and the commitment is dire consequences. However, the aim is to experience play in the context of your recreation while managing the risk to live another day. This dynamic is powerful for self-development. For Pete and Bryan, over time they would find ways to more impeccably manage risk while achieving their goal. This encapsulates a kind of learning that I believe applies to a fundamental skill which is cost-benefit analysis. The cliche in our society is a partying teen pushing their limits and being foolish. Another example is Peter Doorish, partying into the night pushing his limits on a rock wall, and being foolish with wild bouts of adventure. However, this practice extends beyond your teenage and college years. Your recreational passions will last you as long as your body and love for the activity persist. As Bryan and Pete age in years and experience, they develop their risk-reward principles to a higher degree as a consequence of their chosen recreation. If you don’t have a career that imposes this skillset then how would you improve your ability to mitigate and take risks? Taking risks is an important skill in modern life that is no longer essential but highly rewarding financially and spiritually.

What if we viewed addiction as a response to something, rather than the common viewpoint that someone is a lost cause and can’t get their life together? What if we embraced people with compassion and empathy, while also acknowledging that addiction is the result of a combination of genetics, who we are exposed to, trauma, abuse, family dynamics, and biochemistry? In this week’s episode, I talk all things recovery with Bryan Vasquez, a Certified Addiction Treatment Counselor in Newport Beach, California. Bryan’s journey to becoming an addiction counselor began with the turmoil surrounding opiate use. Bryan offers concepts from the scientifically supported processes that helped him to realize his own recovery. These techniques do not impose change, but instead, support change in a manner congruent with each individual's goals and values. Bryan has worked in all facets of addiction treatment, including psychiatric hospitals, residential and outpatient programs, and private practice. He conducts both group and individual counseling as well as third-party assessments. He serves as a Smart Recovery Group Facilitator and is versed in traditional as well as holistic modalities for treating addiction in individuals and within the family unit. I can't wait for you to listen in as we talk about genetics, how we become addicted, why one size fits all programs don't work, the difference between abstinence and moderation, and why kindness and compassion are important components to healing from any addiction. I so loved how Bryan spoke to the importance of treating addiction through the lens of we are all unique, each requiring different treatment options, and that there is no right or wrong way for healing to occur. As Bryan shared, there is a way out of addiction and it doesn't have to consume you for the rest of your life. There is a way that is unique to you that can lead to sustainable peace and happiness. Listen to the full episode to hear: Why the path to recovery is never one size fits all How addiction is a result of a combination of genetics, who we are exposed to, family dynamics, trauma, abuse, and biochemistry An introduction to the SMART Recovery Program as an alternative to more well known recovery programs The difference between abstinence and moderation and how to find a solution that works best for you Learn more about Bryan Vasquez: Realize-recovery.com Realize Recovery on Facebook Realize Recovery on Instagram Realize Recovery on Twitter Learn more about Sami: Eatfor.life Book Your Complimentary Consultation Resources: Eat For Life - EP 18: Why Behavior Change is So Hard with Dr. Perry Passaro Beyond Addiction – How Science and Kindness Help People Change – Jeffrey Foote, Ph.D., Carrie Wilkins, Ph.D. and Nicole Kosanke, Ph.D. Allies in Recovery SMART Recovery

Is justice really possible? How can we reckon with truth when people disagree about what’s true? We can’t think of a better person to answer these big questions than attorney, author, and Equal Justice Initiative founder Bryan Stevenson. He shares more of his background and describes how he’s reframing the fight for civil rights as an ongoing story, not a closed chapter. Part of this work is The Legacy Museum and National Memorial in Montgomery, reflecting America’s history of slavery, lynching, and segregation. As Bryan says, we need more places that tell the truth, because that’s the only way to overcome the narratives that have defined inequality. Plus: How he’s staying energized during the pandemic, why you WILL be voting this November, and how his great-grandfather passed down a love of learning.Text SUNSTORM to 97779 for updates on how you can take action Head to sunstormpod.com to learn, read and find out how you can get involved!

As Bryan was working as a photographer, he realized he was spending a lot of time going back and forth from system to system in order to accomplish tasks and repeating the same tasks over and over again. He saw a need for process mapping and an all- inclusive management program. A system that would streamline his business. Sprout Studio was the result of Bryan's need to solve a problem and streamline his business. About Bryan Bryan Caporicci is an award-winning wedding and portrait photographer based out of Fonthill, Canada. In 2014, he was awarded his Masters of Photographic Arts (MPA) designation by the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC), making him one of the youngest Canadian photographers to receive this level of achievement. Bryan is the host of the Business of Photography Podcast with over 2 million downloads. He teaches at workshops across North America, including industry-leading conventions and conferences such as WPPI, Shutterfest and Canada Photo Convention. Bryan is also the CEO and Founder of Sprout Studio. Become a Problem Solver The best solutions often come from being in the trenches. When things aren't working, we identify the problem and can find a solution. There is no better way to become a problem solver. Outsourcing It's important to realize when we are not an expert at something and hire the people who are experts to do that task for us. For example, attorneys, accountants, bookkeepers. Surrounding yourself with a tribe of experts who excel in areas you don't excel at is key for overall success in entrepreneurship. Marcus Buckingham in The StandOut Assessment goes through the example of we are taught our whole lives to focus on what we aren't good at to become better. As entrepreneurs, play to your strengths and do more of, and outsource the things we aren't good at. Process Mapping Think about where your time is best spent in your business. Is it worthwhile to do all of the activities you are presently doing? Having processes in place could mean you can spend more time on your business for creating more revenue, or it could mean having more time to spend on yourself and with your family. Being able to enjoy the fruits of your labor and take better care of yourself is so important. Start with looking at anything in your business that you do more than once and pass those items through this list of filters. Does this need to be done? Am I the best person to be doing this? Can I automate this to be as hands free as possible? How can I streamline this: templates, scripts, etc.? Systemize action items when in a place of clarity. Have your Process Documented as a Contingency Plan In The EMyth Revisited, Michael E. Gerber, writes about the importance of process documentation for business owners. If you hire someone or in the event you are not able to be present in your business, you need to have your processes mapped out. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are important for maintaining efficient workflows. It also helps to have your processes mapped out and have a second set of eyes review them. As Donald Miller says in Building a Story Brand, assuming can make us ignorant. Don't assume your process is perfect. Someone else may see a better way. Solving Problems If you want to solve a problem, you have to get creative to find the solution. Tap into available resources and the humans you know who can help you. Your network and community are invaluable.

We wanted to produce a special episode of The Geek in Review to discuss the tragedy surrounding the murder of George Floyd and the protests which are going on over the past ten days. While we focus our discussion on the legal industry, the issues are certainly not limited to lawyers and legal professionals. We've dedicated the entirety of the episode to this topic. Just two months ago we had Bryan Parker on the podcast discussing the need to have a better return on investment when it came to legal talent. In the year 2020, two months feels like two years. With the changes resulting from the pandemic, the economy, and now the murder of George Floyd, we asked Bryan to come back and talk with us, and bring along his Legal Innovators business partner and one-time mentor, Jonathan Greenblatt. In the recent article, What the Death of George Floyd Should Teach the Legal Industry, Bryan Parker (with help from Jon Greenblatt) lays out some internal and external steps that the legal industry can take to contribute to the conversation around race while maintaining a respect for everyone willing to have an honest conversation. There is an enormous amount of privilege and power within the legal community, and those traits should be used to drive real change. One of the first things that Parker and Greenblatt stress that we all must do is to check in on one another. As Bryan says in his article, "[f]or starters, your black colleagues and associates are not alright." This type of interaction and communication shouldn't be limited to the current new cycle. And, as the stress of the current environment sinks with everyone, there is a need to monitor the mental health of all of our colleagues. We hope that this conversation leads to more conversations.

What is up, A:R Family?! I'm not sure how the weather is in your parts of the world, but Lawd Ooh Lawd the sun came out to play today! As it appears that many places are getting closer to reopening, many people are probably asking, "what will be the new normal? what will I be able to do in and with my life after quarantine?" We couldn't have had a more appropriate guest for a time such as this, where there is so much uncertainty and questions being asked. Our guest is Bryan Winston. He is a Performance Coach to business owners and corporate leaders, helping them level up their lives through potent and provoking conversations. The conversation we had on this podcast truly was exactly that - potent and provoking. There are lots of reasons we can come up with to explain and/or justify why our lives aren't exactly what we want them to be. As Bryan shares, once you accept that thoughts are nothing more than just thoughts, you can empower yourself to start building the life of your dreams. Have you ever said something along the lines of, "why is running a business so hard?" While many people may share your sentiment, if you tell that to Bryan, he'll guide you to putting thoughts like that onto the proverbial witness stand. When you take the time to cross-examine this thought, and thoughts just like these, that "difficult reality" that you call your experience can come crashing down. Verily, it's powerful stuff. Creating a life of your choice is your responsibility - no one is coming to save you. This is the Adulthood: Revisited Podcast.

HAM Podcast - Happy Asian Males Discussing Sex, Philosophy, and Health
HAM 65 - Asian Hustle Network In this episode Seibo interviews Bryan Pham, co-founder behind the Asian Hustle Network alongside his partner Maggie Chui. Originally a software engineer in LA, Bryan was staggered about the high cost of living in the Bay area. Because of this, Bryan began partnering up with a friend where he was able to navigate the real estate environment, and over time eventually became active in the start-up community. This love of start-up inspired him to build a positive support network to connect and find others who were willing to support individuals who were turning their dreams into reality. With the boom of the meme page Subtle Asian Traits, wanting to combine his love of entrepreneurship, and support of his partner Maggie, Asian Hustle Network was born. Continuing on, Bryan talks about his growth and some of the challenges he faced; this included challenges such as breaking out of his more introverted personality and overcoming his aversion to public speaking. Seibo and Bryan then reflect on Asian culture and its irrational fear of exploring the unknown outside of the more reliable STEM fields, as well as the self limiting beliefs commonly placed upon by ourselves or by our Asians parents. The message about having the ability to look beyond traditional avenues, to stop boxing yourself in and to stop limiting your potential due self imposed beliefs is an important message everyone should take to heart, no matter what path we take. With the pair then advocating that we should begin to recognise that we may be underutilizing skill sets that can in fact be adapted to a variety of different areas and to also be comfortable when our paths may deviate from the traditional career paths we first set upon. Moving onto practical advice, Bryan talks about his own process on how to: tackle long-term goals, break these goals into more manageable segments, and recognise when you need to delegate or outsource your tasks. This can also lead to positive side effects such as: allowing people to work on areas they are personally passionate about, freeing you up to tackle other tasks, and allowing others the opportunity to shine. Moving onto entrepreneurial pursuits, Seibo and Bryan contemplate the rise and grind culture associated with entrepreneurship. In this segment, the two discuss the need to take time to relax and recharge, realising the act of grinding and being busy can in fact be a futile endeavour, and the benefits of blocking out time to allow yourself to rest to be able to work more effectively. Rounding off, Bryan cautions listeners to not force themselves to fit into preconceived moulds commonly seen in the rise and grind culture and work with what feels natural to you. As Seibo touts the positive benefits and continued positive momentum since joining the Asian Hustle Network, Bryan talks about how he was initially spurred into action by talking to a Jewish friend, where Bryan wanted to mirror the positive, supportive communities that he commonly saw in the Jewish community, leading him to try and develop a more united network regardless of what Asian ethnicity you are. As Bryan and Seibo continue to talk about the positive impacts of the Asian Hustle Network, Bryan reiterates that all members have something to bring to the table regardless of what stage they are at; Asian Hustle Network is not just about the fantastic achievements other members have (deservedly) achieved, and in actuality the stories Bryan and Seibo found that were the most inspirational were from members who came out on top despite the odds or expressed vulnerability, but had the courage to talk about challenges or struggles they were facing. Branching off the topic about overcoming challenges, Bryan expresses his own vulnerability regarding his journey to develop his EQ, realising the power of developing high EQ, and how developing these skills helped him bring together quality people - By getting out and doing one thing that made him uncomfortable, but having the fortitude to power through the short lived awkwardness, Bryan demonstrates firsthand how these "talents" can be worked on over time. As the podcast comes to its end, Seibo then closes out the podcast by asking Brian about the future direction of Asian Hustle Network, where Bryan envisions other Asians will be in the future, and the most surprising thing that came out of creating Asian Hustle Network. For more information, Asian Hustle Network can be found on Facebook and Patreon, where the Patreon fund is used to fund events all around the world.

Bryan’s struggle with childhood obesity, including the mental and physical struggles, and the initial trauma that triggered it. How to spark the mindset shift and take action without having to experience a life threatening trauma or event. Seeing value in ourselves first and why self love is more important than seeking external validation. How to go deeper even deeper in finding our “why”. The power in asking ourselves questions and why the most simple questions are often the hardest to reflect on and truthfully answer. How many of us are using things like food and work as a means of self-medication. The pressures we put upon children and the flawed concept to have them choose their life path at a young age. Bryan’s “Do A Days” process and what that looks like as a practice. How to make purposeful decisions today regardless of your yesterdays and tomorrows. www.brenttieri.com www.bryanfalchuk.com

As Bryan explores Genesis 20, he reveals how fear gets in the way, and he offers ways of overcoming it.

When all said and done though, being filled with sharks, Charlie Sheen (who we refer to as Martin Sheen), and an infamous serial killer known as the Pittsburgh Poisoner, this is one movie sequel you don't want to sleep on.

In the 103rd episode of Keep Moving Forward, I interview former NFL player and current Franchise Owner and Trainer at Title Boxing Club, Bryan Scott. “Everything happens for a reason, and there are no negatives.” It’s all about perspective. That is how Bryan Scott has always chosen to look at life. Focusing on the task at hand and how to achieve his goals, Bryan went from collegiate to professional football player and is now a franchise owner of Title Boxing. With a passion for helping people and making the most out of every single day he has the opportunity to be on this earth, Bryan internalizes his tenant: “I don’t like to have bad days. You can have bad moments, but don’t let those turn into bad days. Have your moment, then set it down and keep pushing.” As Bryan says further, “Iron sharpens iron and happy bounces off happy,” and his positive attitude certainly is infectious. Listening in to Bryan’s story is sure to brighten up your week, and I hope you all enjoy my interview with Bryan Scott. For more on Bryan, you can connect with him on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. You can follow Title Boxing on Facebook.

There's no doubt that customer experience is changing. Perhaps one of the most surprising aspects is that it is changing so quickly. In order to keep up with the rate of change and ensure customers' needs are met, companies need to embrace a new wave of technology. In many cases, customer experience is only as good as a company's data and communication system. Think of how we communicate: we use text, chat, email, phone, and more. If that's how customers talk, it's also how companies should listen. Yet many times communication is lacking and actually contributes to a bad customer experience. Bryan Martin, Chairman and CTO at 8x8, likes to think of business communication in terms of waves. The first wave was on-premise and hardware-based with heavy infrastructure. Companies likely had a different vendor for each aspect of their communication and data storage, which meant things were disjointed and inefficient. In the second wave, point solutions moved to the cloud, which didn't really solve any problems except for making the solutions less expensive. We're now in the third wave, which is transforming how businesses operate, store data, and communicate with customers. In the third wave, companies have a single enterprise cloud solution that covers all customer and employee interactions. The single platform enables communication while also engaging with customers and storing data for the entire company to access. Taking advantage of the third wave helps companies accelerate their businesses, gain more revenue, and see higher NPS scores. According to Bryan, the third wave will continue to grow as more people realize that all communications need to be connected. Using different tools creates silos within an organization. If the contact center uses one program to manage its phone calls and the digital team uses another program to manage social outreach and customer data, everything falls into different categories and can't be connected to create a consistent customer experience. Imagine the frustration for customers who can't have their issues solved right away and for employees who don't have the tools they need to best meet customers' needs. Those problems are fixed with a unified enterprise system. Contact center agents are always on the front line of communicating with customers. However, these agents aren't effective at their jobs if they don't have real-time access to other parts of the company. For too long contact centers have been their own islands without any connection to a common corporate directory or shared information. However, by connecting the entire organization to the same cloud-based data system, contact center agents can not only be aware of the context of their calls and better serve customers, they can play a vital role in driving customer experience and increasing sales. There are lots of different channels companies use to communicate with customers, but technology is the glue that holds it all together. With the vast amount of data available today, companies should be able to understand and process customer needs in real time and know the history and context of each customer interaction. With the help of connected technology, the entire organization can be constantly improving. Many companies think that changing their system and moving to the third wave is complicated and expensive. However, companies like 8x8 provide a variety of simple options. Investing in a unified engagement system has a high ROI as it accelerates business and improves customer experience. In today's world, technology is a vital part of customer experience. As Bryan says, the data scientist plays as important a role in customer experience as does the contact center agent. Taking advantage of technology and breaking down silos to create a unified, data-driven system allows companies to put customers first and drive their own business towards the future.

It's not often I truly feel that a guest changes my paradigm on the spot - but this is an exception.This week we speak with Bryan Caplan about his newest book, The Case against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money. As Bryan explains, despite being immensely popular--and immensely lucrative—education is grossly overrated. Bryan argues that the primary function of education is not to enhance students' skill but to certify their intelligence, work ethic, and conformity—in other words, to signal the qualities of a good employee. In fact, decades of growing access to education have not resulted in better jobs for the average worker but instead in runaway credential inflation, yet employers still reward workers for costly schooling they rarely if ever use. Therefore, his recommendation is to cut education spending.Caplan draws on the latest social science to show how the labor market values grades over knowledge, and why the more education your rivals have, the more you need to impress employers. He explains why graduation is our society's top conformity signal, and why even the most useless degrees can certify employability. He advocates two major policy responses. The first is educational austerity. Government needs to sharply cut education funding to curb this wasteful rat race. The second is more vocational education, because practical skills are more socially valuable than teaching students how to outshine their peers.Bryan Caplan is professor of economics at George Mason University and a blogger at EconLog. He is the author of Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids: Why Being a Great Parent Is Less Work and More Fun than You Think and The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies.http://www.bcaplan.com/

Facebook – The Billionaire LifeStyle iTunes – The Billionaire LifeStyle Stitcher: – The Billionaire LifeStyle Life Change - Do A Day -Bryan Falchuk Change is constant for the living and is made in small increment. There is a constant though related to change, it can't come quick enough when change is a choice. Often change is pressed upon us via circumstances. [caption id="attachment_1655" align="alignleft" width="300"] Personal Life Change - Do A Day -Bryan Falchuk[/caption] I was dying just a little slower. During my interview with Bryan Falchuk hearing the statement mentioned in. The previous statement was jarring. My guest on the Billionaire Lifestyle podcast, Bryan Falchuk is the blueprint for reinventing who and what any of us are as human beings on the journey Earth. Bryan didn't know six plus years ago his wife and child would be the inspiration for massive positive changes for the next phase of his life. Bryan's pivotal life moment manifested when he realized circumstances may be out of his control. Instead of giving in to the moment, he decided to take back control of the life aspect he put on apathy autopilot. Realizing he and we are responsible for how we live our life was his new life mission. Health, economics, and preservation of self is part of living. We can neglect our health and finances for only so long before we feel the negative consequences. Living your life is about growing, and growing requires maintaining the bare minimum status while looking forward to positive increase. Bryans Time For Personal Change June 30th, 2011 [caption id="attachment_1656" align="alignleft" width="300"] Bryan Falchuk book cover personal Change Do a Day[/caption] Bryan's wife was at the mercy of a chronic illness. While situated between his wife who was losing two pounds a day and his son, Bryan realized he had several responsibilities bestowed upon him mantel. Help his wife to become healthier. Raise his some with the best examples. Maximize his living experience for health, and living for his family. He knew in that moment he shares with his wife and young son, that he was slowly killing himself as he watched his wife battle with her illness. "I was dying, just a bit slower than my wife," Bryan stated during our conversation. Bryan was overweight, depressed and not happy, but it was all an internal reaction to the outside world. The decision to change was made. A result of life provided a path to Bryan's journey and inspiration for Do a Day book. Bryan knew he had to lose weight while maintaining a healthy lifestyle to inspire and direct his family. His son was a heavy motivator for making life changes. Failing To Plan Is Planning To Fail. People have a variety of individual challenges in their life. Most fail to meet their individual goals. Goal achievement requires specific planning and dedication. We are all full of excuses, usually stemming from comfort zones. We all make goals but don't commit to them in the long term. The flip side is not committing to your goal for the long term. Success in achieving goals requires planning and measurement. Bryan reinforced planning and goal achievement failure to partial commitment. Making change requires small dedicated behavior changes for the long term. When your goal has been obtained the next challenge is to set the bar higher. Many people try to deter your efforts and shun our work. Making significant changes are difficult, but internal resolve is dire.

Fr Bryan Shortall is a member of the Irish Capuchin province of friars and joins us this week on the programme to reflect on vocation, priesthood and his recently published book "Tired of all the bad news".Shane and John have an interesting chat with this Dublin born padre about his ministry and his experience of ministering to ordinary people in the midst of their daily lives and struggles.His book which arose from his blog of the same name is described as "a superb insight into the lessons he has learned through the selflessness of his parishioners, the words spoken ‘out of the mouths of babes’, and a close examination of the gospel message. As Bryan himself says, ‘while we can’t blind our eyes to the struggles of people, of families, of communities, it’s important to listen for the sounds of good news that emerge too.’ This little book is his way of helping to bring that good news into the light." As Fr Bryan reminds us it is about pointing the way to Christ in the midst of our daily lives!
When Canada began passing laws that limited what Professor Peterson could say in the name of political correctness, he felt compelled to speak out. And so, in three YouTube videos, he laid out his case for why he would not be complying with the law…in the most reasonable and Canadian way possible. Professor Peterson is a practicing and research psychologist at the University of Toronto and like countless other campuses the University of Toronto has become a place full of people who are going full Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. In fact, a tiny fraction of individuals have decided that there aren't just two gender identities or even three but up to seventy...and they all have different pronouns they want to be addressed by. The reality is that any policy or set of behaviors comes at a cost. Competing goods must be weighed against each other. Words are tools for communication and having seventy sets of pronouns makes communication clumsy. What's more important? Protecting the weak is great but setting off a witch hunt that potentially takes psychologists like Jordan B. Peterson out of working with patients does potentially greater harm. Which is more important? In practice though, the behavior on college campuses is just as listener @TWestGate put it the ouroboros. It is the snake eating its own tail. What is the final result of an academic culture that believes in human reason and is massively atomistic? It's a culture so obsessed with individuality that any weird thought that wanders across a person's brain has to be treated seriously, especially when the person is claiming historical oppression. The sad truth is that Social Justice Warriors aren't bad students. They're great students who have just taken academia's cultural biases to the end of the line. Everyone is now a special snowflake and any claim you make about yourself has to be treated seriously. In the end though, there is further insanity coming such as otherkin. These are humans who believe they're not humans. Instead, they believe they are vampires or werewolves or fairies or wolf-dog hybrids. These even more special individuals want their unique identity recognized too!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the snake is eating its own tail. At a certain point though, it just becomes too much. People like Jordan B Peterson can't put up with it anymore. As Bryan points out, alumni are refusing to donate. And, increasingly, people are wondering why anyone would pay $120,000 and spend four years to be surrounded by thinking that is, frankly, garbage.
As Bryan drives from NJ to Connecticut, he and Blake talk the weekend in baseball.
