Podcasts about awesome things

De gouden mix van 3 woorden & 2 minuten "Wat als alles wat je dacht te weten over succes en geluk... omgekeerd blijkt te zijn?" Neil Pasricha zet aan het denken met een simpele, maar krachtige geluksformule. Dat doet hij op tornadokracht! Deze podcast komt uit een webinar dat Neil onlangs deed over optimistic leadership. Hij laat zien dat werkgeluk geen eindbestemming is, maar het startpunt. En dat begint… met je ochtendroutine. Zonder PowerPoint, mét papier en pen. Want zijn aanpak is net zo simpel als doeltreffend: laat los wat je dwarszit, benoem waar je dankbaar voor bent en kies je focus van de dag. Twee minuten. That's it.Neil deelt hoe hij zichzelf uit een persoonlijke crisis schreef met een blog dat de wereld over ging (1000 Awesome Things), hoe geluk meetbaar invloed heeft op productiviteit én hoe jij als leider het verschil maakt met drie woorden: Tell me more.Verwacht snelheid, humor, kwetsbaarheid en wetenschappelijk onderbouwde tips die je meteen wilt testen. En ja, hij beantwoordt ook vragen als: “Hoe blijf je optimistisch zonder naïef te worden?” en “Wat doe je als je gewoon wakker wordt met een rothumeur?”Neil Pasricha komt naar Amsterdam Business Forum. En na deze podcast weet je zeker: dit wil je live meemaken.

This week's episode brought to you by Indy Wrestling US, Slice on Broadway, Sidekick Media Services and listeners like you at www.Patreon.com/AwesomeCast Celebrate the holiday season with the AwesomeCast crew as they share their “Awesome Things of the Year”, make bold predictions for 2025, and revisit their 2024 forecasts (some were spot-on, others hilariously off the mark). Featuring a mix of tech highlights, gaming insights, AI breakthroughs, and a dash of festive cheer, this episode is packed with holiday vibes and geeky discussions. Topics & Highlights: •

‘The Help' by Kathryn Stockett. ‘Big Little Lies' by Liane Moriarty. ‘Let's Pretend This Never Happened' by Jenny Lawson. ‘American Dirt' by Jeanine Cummins. ‘This Is How It Always Is' by Laurie Frankel. ‘Listen for the Lie' by Amy Tintera. ‘We Begin At the End' by Chris Whittaker. ‘A Higher Loyalty' by James Comey. ‘The Book of Awesome' by Neil Pasricha.     What do these books have in common? The famed but invisible editor pulling the strings from behind the curtain: Amy Einhorn     Fifteen years ago my seven-month-old blog ‘1000 Awesome Things' was nominated for ‘Best Blog' from the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. I was approached by literary agents and my new agent Erin Malone told me she wanted to auction my blog to publishers … next week. Suddenly I was in the foreign position of interviewing editors who were somehow clamoring to publish my book.     I signed with Amy Einhorn—a woman I'd never heard of, who had just started an eponymous imprint I'd never heard of, within Putnam Publishing, which I'd also never heard of. But I was immediately and magnetically attracted to her vision for the book. “It's a hardcover, Neil,” she said. “It's for moms. It's a gift book. You gotta lose the frat boy posts. No blowing your nose in the shower. And I need a lot more new content.”     I learned everything about editing from Amy in our passionate late night diatribe emails, our hot-potato-ing of 300-page Word docs back and forth with 100s of comments in red down the sides, and arguing—good arguing!—about every single element along the way. I'd sit in her office and she'd have a variety of ‘cases' laid out on her desk. “What do you think of 5” by 7”?” she'd say. “Too precious? Too cute?”     Amy is one of the most successful editors in the world today with the highest percentage of books edited hitting the New York Times bestseller list. According to a feature in The Observer, “New York editors and publishers speak of Amy Einhorn's success as the product of an almost mystical editorial instinct.” She has a knack for sniffing out voice, for knowing what will work and what won't and, as you can imagine, I've been begging her to come on 3 Books for six years to hear how it all works.     So I flew down to NYC to talk with the bright, brilliant, and beaming Amy Einhorn about what an editor does, how a book gets published, what helps a book sell, Amy's 3 most formative books, and much, much more.     Let's flip the page to Chapter 140 now…

Responses to Most Awesome (or Lame) Amazon Purchases Friday 07/26/24

Maria Popova was born in communist Bulgaria and emigrated to the U.S. six days after her 19th birthday back in 2003. She studied at the University of Pennsylvania after “being sold on the liberal arts promise of being taught how to live.”     Did it work?     Well, yes and no.     She spent her family's life savings in the first few weeks on textbooks and, despite attending an American high school in Bulgaria, found herself in a bit of culture shock. “I mean, fitted sheets? Brunch?” She worked hard, a defining Popova characteristic, sometimes eating store brand canned tuna and oatmeal three times a day to get by. “I figured it was the most nutritious combo for the cheapest amount.”     At one of her jobs in 2006 a senior leader started sending out a Friday email of miscellany to provoke innovation and then Maria took the project on herself—weaving together write-ups on seemingly unrelated topics. One day was Danish pod homes, another the century-long evolution of the Pepsi logo, another on the design of a non-profit's new campaign to fight malaria. It was becoming clear: You never knew what you were going to get from Maria. And in an era of homogenization that was so ever-delightful.     Maria's emails got popular and then she taught herself programming to put it all online on a site called BrainPickings.org.     I was blogging on 1000 Awesome Things every night in that internet paleolithic. I still remember so many times I'd be researching for some arcane bit of wisdom or trivia and Google would wisely fire me over to BrainPickings.org. I came to love the site which had a top-of-the-page tagline back then that read: “A scan of the mind-boggling, the revolutionary, and the idiosyncratic.”     And like my own blog's 'About' page, this one didn't reveal the author's name, face, or identity. Was the internet just a bit more chat-room-anonymous back then? Or was this just before social media had been invented or figured out they needed our real names to maximize their ad revenues? Either way, Maria and I never got to know each other then … but, thankfully, a full 18 (!) years later the endlessly curious, cool, and erudite Maria Popova is ... still going.     George Saunders, our guest in Chapter 75, says Maria Popova manifests "abundant wit, intelligence, and compassion in all of her writings." Seth Godin, our guest in Chapter 3 says Maria "is indefatigable in her pursuits of knowledge and dignity. She does her work without ever dumbing down the work." And Krista Tippett, host of On Being, calls Maria a "cartographer of meaning in a digital age." Perhaps no surprise the Library of Congress has included her project, The Marginalian (once called Brain Pickings), in their permanent web archive of culturally valuable materials     I agree with the accolades and find Maria, her blog, and her wonderful books (‘Figuring,' ‘The Snail With the Right Heart,' 'The Universe in Verse,' and ‘A Velocity of Being') truly exquisite and much-needed reflections of everything that makes life beautiful.     Like 3 Books, her site The Marginalian has remained free and ad-free over the years. Maria has no staff, no interns, no assistant, and The Marginalian is, in her words, “a thoroughly solitary labor of love that is also my life and my livelihood.”     The world can feel heavy, intense, and overwhelming—media, politics, and news pulls us away from those harder-to-measure things that make life wondrous. Love, connection, trust, kindness, passions, memories. The invisible but much-more-important guideposts that emerge as we look back on our lives from the end of it. That's where Maria and The Marginalian rescue us—to point our attention towards the turn of phrase in a poem, a forgotten piece of advice from Ralph Waldo Emerson on trusting ourselves, or to provide a close reading with some stunning artwork from a 100-year-old picture book that helps illuminates one of those impossible-to-articulate emotions that we all share and feel…     I loved this conversation with the much-requested Maria Popova on a wonderfully wide-ranging set of topics including, of course, her 3 most formative books…

Exodus 33-7-34-10 7 -Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp. 8 Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would rise up, and each would stand at his tent door, and watch Moses until he had gone into the tent. 9 When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the Lord-a- would speak with Moses. 10 And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would rise up and worship, each at his tent door. 11 Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent. 12 Moses said to the Lord, -See, you say to me, 'Bring up this people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.' 13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people.- 14 And he said, -My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.- 15 And he said to him, -If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here. 16 For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people-- Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth---

Alyssa Corella is an actress who has been able to get her feet wet in some awesome projects. Corella did a production of the musical, Avenue Q. While in this show she was able to professionally learn how to use a puppet and how to multi task while being on stage. When she was a kid she did little puppet shows, but it wasn't even close to Avenue Q. Corella did a regional production of Legally Blonde where she was cast as Pilar, one of Elle Woods' friends in the show. Additionally, she was cast in Charlie Brown Christmas where she got to be part of a cast that brought such beloved characters that everyone has fallen in love with to live on stage. Corella has also worked on various other world premier productions of original content with hopes to be able to perform in these shows in front of a big audience some day. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jayme-starr/support

This is Episode Number 67. It's the last episode of 2022, so that means it's the Annual Review!We're going to look back at 2022, at some of the most interesting scientific studies of birds that were published this year. Will this be a painstakingly thorough review of everything that scientists learned about birds in 2022? No. Not so much. The studies I'm telling you about today—while they did make it into the newsfeed—are just the ones that I found most exciting. Or at least interesting. I decided they're worth yapping about.~~ Leave me a review using Podchaser ~~Links of InterestCockatoos are in a "cultural arms race" with Sydney residents and their bins [VIDEO]Slow-motion video of woodpeckers hammering into wood [VIDEO]ReferencesHummingbird plumage color diversity exceeds the known gamut of all other birdsInnovation and geographic spread of a complex foraging culture in an urban parrotWoodpeckers minimize cranial absorption of shocksThe homogenization of avian morphological and phylogenetic diversity under the global extinction crisisCretaceous ornithurine supports a neognathous crown bird ancestorJuvenile bar-tailed godwit "B6" Sets World RecordAvian neurons consume three times less glucose than mammalian neuronsDeterrence of birds with an artificial predator, the RobotFalconHow woodcocks produce the most brilliant white plumage patches among the birdsBioactivity of plants eaten by wild birds against laboratory models of parasites and pathogensLink to this episode on the Science of Birds websiteSupport the show
