A conversation with Henry Oliver, author of 'A Second Act', exploring the concept of late bloomers. Transcript here. Oliver elaborates on societal pressures, hidden talents, and how these impact individual successes at various life stages, advocating for a broader recognition of potential beyond conventional timelines. The dialogue includes themes such as the significance of networks, the role of luck, and the historical context of late blooming, challenging prevailing notions of talent and achievement. Following this, the conversation delves into the philosophical contributions of John Stuart Mill, particularly focusing on his expansion of utilitarianism and its inadvertent influence on contemporary moral behaviors like vegetarianism. It contrasts Mill's stance on liberty and value measurement with other philosophers and highlights the importance of engaging with diverse perspectives for personal growth. The chat connects Mill's philosophies to present-day issues.  We end on Henry's advice: the importance of personalized approaches to absorbing content, seeking expertise, the application of tailored advice over generic guidance; and to ignore those who do not have recent advice experience. On Hidden Talents and Societal Barriers: "So in the case of someone just happens to emerge later, and in the case of someone has been held back, I would call that hidden both times. Because very often when you've been held back by your circumstances, people like actually cannot see your talents. And so they are hidden, not in the sense that you've kept them in, or you were scared, or whatever, but in the sense that, you could have put it on your t-shirt and people wouldn't have realized." On Overcoming Historical Bias and Recognizing Talent: "And obviously historically, very often that was to do with if you were a woman, if you were a person of color people just aren't going to, people literally aren't going to take that seriously. But that, to me, is interesting, it's an interesting demonstration of the fact that, You can be very confident that you know how to find talent, and that you know who's a good chap and who would be good at this job, and be completely blind to what is right in front of you."

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/590 Presented By: Togiak River Lodge  Have you ever heard someone say, you need to twitch your fly or you need to twitch it more? Have you heard about jigging or using jigs in fly fishing and how this is such an effective method today? We bring both of these together as we jump back into Alaska and Northern Bristol Bay. Jeremy Freisz is here to share the twitching jig method and why pink is the only color you need for Togiak River success. Learn how to plan your trip and the exact tips you need for success in Alaska this year. Show Notes with Jeremy Freisz on Tactics for Togiak River Success.  02:00 - Jeremy Freisz shares his journey of discovering fly fishing later in life, initially influenced by his family's outdoor activities. Over the years, Jeremy's passion grew, leading to summers in Alaska at Togiak River Lodge and even starting to guide for Red's Fly Shop. Check out our episode on Reds Fly Shop with Joe Rotter. Jeremy recently bought a customized Bighorn Skiff from StealthCraft. Twitching Jig Method 07:37 -  Jeremy discusses his evolution as an angler, from novice to adapting new techniques like bead fishing in Alaska. Over the years, he has experimented with Twitching Jigs, initially inspired by his uncle's success with them on spinning rods. 12:40 - Jeremy emphasizes the effectiveness of pink-colored flies. He ties all his flies for Togiak in pink. He emphasizes the importance of the sparkle in the fly to catch their attention, especially for resident dollies and sea run dollies that are active in the salt and likely associate pink with shrimp. Timing and Fishing Conditions in the Togiak River  17:00 - Jeremy notes that the timing of tides does impact fishing at the lodge, especially regarding water clarity and fish behavior. When the tide is coming in, the water gets murky, influencing fish activity. Conversely, when the tide is going out, the water becomes clearer, and fish tend to be more reactive. However, these tide effects diminish about two miles upriver from the lodge. Jeremy recommends timing your trip to Togiak based on your fishing preferences. For targeting Chinook salmon. However, for the best trout fishing experience, Jeremy suggests going later in the king salmon season, around the end of July. Togiak River Lodge 22:35 - Jeremy paints a vivid picture of the Togiak Lodge experience. The lodge sits amidst breathtaking tundra landscapes, with braids of the Togiak River weaving through, and numerous ponds dotting the terrain. Behind the lodge lies a pike pond, offering anglers the chance to catch pike alongside other Pacific salmon species, rainbow trout, dolly varden, and grayling. Bugs and Bears Jeremy acknowledges the concern about bugs in Alaska, particularly the relentless mosquitoes in the Togiak region. He shares his experience with giant mosquitoes, emphasizing the need for mosquito netting when venturing into mosquito-heavy areas. Additionally, he mentions encountering grizzly bears, especially in late July, adding an element of excitement to the wilderness experience. Being Prepared for Alaska's Weather Jeremy recounts experiences of continuous rain and cold winds during his time at Togiak Lodge. He recommends specific clothing items for fishing in such conditions, including: Good quality waders Sturdy rain jackets, preferably full rubber for river floats Electric clothing like vests for staying warm Carrying multiple rain jackets and a dry bag for extra clothes Key Takeaways for an Alaska Fishing Trip Jeremy offers three essential takeaways for anyone planning an Alaska fishing trip: Manage Expectations: Understand that fishing can be unpredictable, and not every day will yield abundant catches. Enjoy the adventure regardless of fishing outcomes. Be Prepared for Bad Weather: Expect challenging weather conditions, delays, and travel disruptions. Embrace these as part of the Alaskan experience rather than letting them detract from your enjoyment. Consider Group Travel: Opt for traveling with a group for a more enjoyable experience, fostering camaraderie, shared experiences, and lasting memories. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/590    

In this episode, Brennan shares his journey of paying off his mortgage at a young age and the reasons behind this decision. He discusses how he and his wife paid off their non-mortgage debt first and then started considering paying off their mortgage for financial freedom. Brennan emphasizes the importance of being prepared for life's challenges and how paying off the mortgage provided them with the flexibility to navigate unexpected situations. He also highlights the limitations of relying solely on spreadsheet math and the need to consider other assumptions in financial decision-making.

Paying off the mortgage can provide the flexibility to pursue other goals and navigate unexpected challenges. Life is unpredictable, and it's important to be prepared for unexpected events.

Summary   In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton and guest Joe Buckner discuss the power of fighting and how it can help individuals overcome challenges and find their worth. They emphasize the importance of putting oneself first and prioritizing personal growth. They also explore the fear of failure and the need to embrace challenges in order to move forward in life. The conversation delves into the concept of acquiring skills and being prepared for whatever life throws at you.

The episode concludes with a discussion on current hopes and goals.   Takeaways   Fighting can be a powerful tool for personal growth and overcoming challenges.

Dr. Lauryn is once again joined by Kirby – and don't worry, you're not getting fired – to talk about a topic that's been top of mind for them lately which is how to develop and utilize kind candor in the workplace. When it comes to feedback and coaching, which side of the pendulum do you fall on? Are you overly nice and avoid conflict at all costs, hoping the problem just magically resolves itself? Or possibly way on the other side, where you put the brutal in brutal honesty, crushing employee's feelings as well as their chances of success? This episode is all about how to find that middle ground – stay on the road as Dr. Lauryn puts it – and be able to deliver honest and necessary feedback in a way that is still kind to the person and gives the best chance at future success.Dr. Lauryn and Kirby kick things off by defining what exactly kind candor is, before discussing how to develop it within hiring, the idea of staying in the middle of the road, why being prepared for the conversations can be helpful, walk through examples, and much more.Want to read Gary V's book that inspired this podcast episode?
