Podcasts about Boring

Welcome to another episode of The Stationery Cafe, where we talk about all things stationery and fun topics in this hobby! In this episode, April, Phyllis, and Kelly got together to discuss their Techo Kaigi (planner and journal line up) for 2026! We discussed digital detox, ideas for different notebooks, and what we're looking forward to for the new year. PSA: The Stationery Cafe will go on a short break until the summer. We hope you have a good start to 2026 :D

As we start a new year, I want to talk about a feeling that almost never gets discussed openly, even though nearly all of us experience it. That moment when you look at your recent work and think, “This is fine… but it feels boring.” Not bad. Not broken. unsurprising. feel it myself. And over time, I have come to believe that this feeling is not a warning sign. It is often a signal that something important is happening. The strange thing about making work is that we experience it twice. First while we are making it, and then later when we look at the result. By the time the photograph exists, we have already lived inside it. We remember the walk, the light, the missed frames, the choices, the doubt. All of that context stays attached to the image for us.b But when someone else sees the photograph, they see none of that. They see the distilled result. One moment, one frame, one decision made visible. What feels familiar and predictable to us can feel clear and intentional to someone else. That familiarity or clarity can seem like it drains surprise, but that does not mean it drains meaning.I think clarity is one of the most misunderstood qualities in creative work. Clarity often feels boring to the person who made it because all the hard decisions are already resolved. There is no tension left for us. We already know how it works. Where things often go wrong is how we respond to that boredom. When the work stops exciting us, it is tempting to fix the wrong problem. We add more contrast. We push the color. We introduce drama not because the image needs it, but because we want to feel something again. Restlessness can look a lot like refinement, but they are not the same thing. Sometimes the best thing you can do when the work feels boring is to step away from it. Give it time. Look at it again later, without the weight of expectation. Ask whether it still holds together, not whether it excites you. If your recent work feels boring but still feels honest, still feels aligned with how you see, pay attention. That is often where the real work is happening. Not in the images that shout the loudest, but in the ones that sit quietly and wait. As we move into 2026, I want to encourage you and myself to resist the urge to constantly chase novelty. To trust that not being impressed by our own work is not the same thing as failing. Sometimes it means we are finally listening closely enough to hear what we keep returning to. And that is rarely boring.

Only take vacations you can afford—debt and relaxation should never meet. If it needs installments and isn't food or medicine, you don't need it. Credit card debt is just regret charging interest—kill it first. Don't enroll in college by muscle memory; 2026 doesn't care about tradition. If you switch careers, pick a role that actually matters—vibes don't pay rent. Skipping AI in 2026 is like skipping email in 1999—bold, but stupid. Invest real money if you can, fake money if you can't, ignorance is not an option. Park far away—walking is free cardio and cheaper than therapy. Eat because you're hungry, not because the fridge made eye contact. There is no perfect time—there's only now and a lot of excuses. Build a side hustle so layoffs don't decide your personality. If every year feels the same, congratulations—you're on career autopilot. Social media isn't real life—it's a heavily filtered lie with Wi-Fi. Comparison kills joy, and titles won't fix insecurity. Everything important takes longer than promised—welcome to reality. Ignore naysayers—they're deeply committed to being comfortable. One focused person with AI can now replace a small team—choose wisely. If your car works, keep it—nobody's impressed by your loan balance. Be selfish enough to protect your time, energy, and sanity. Nothing is saturated—most people just quit early.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Anthony Kay has had quite a baseball journey, living the life as a first-round pick with the Mets before being dealt at the 2019 trade deadline to Toronto. After a few years with the Blue Jays, the pitcher had stints with the Cubs and again in the Mets organization before taking his talents to Japan. It was overseas that Kay saw his career take off, leading to a newly signed, two-year deal with the White Sox. Kay joins Bradfo and Courtney Finnicum ('Pitch and Moan') to talk about what led him back to Major League Baseball, his impressions on some noteworthy players he played with and against in Japan, and why the White Sox were the best fit.

Is 2026 the year you finally take control of your military finances? With a 3.8% pay raise, new TSP contribution limits of $24,500, and proven strategies that helped one E-7 reach $600,000 in net worth by year 14, Spencer and Jamie break down exactly how to build wealth while serving, even if you're starting from scratch or recovering from financial setbacks. In this episode, we provide a comprehensive 2026 financial reset for military families, covering everything from emergency funds and debt payoff to maxing tax-advantaged accounts and avoiding lifestyle creep. Perfect for anyone wanting to turn the new year into a fresh financial start. Main Discussion Points Know Where You Are Before You Start Track your spending using apps like Monarch Money, YNAB, Rocket Money, or simple spreadsheet Face your financial reality- write down all debt and net worth even if it's negative Government shutdown proved why emergency funds matter: 3-6 months of expenses minimum Example: $500 car repair covered by emergency fund eliminated stress entirely Unique Military Financial Advantages Tax-free income: BAH, BAS, COLA not subject to federal income tax or payroll taxes (7%+ savings) State tax residency: Change to tax-free state (Texas, Florida, etc.) when stationed there! Spouse can too under Military Spouse Residency Relief Act TSP match: 5% automatic match after 2 years for BRS members. Don't leave free money on table Healthcare and housing covered through Tricare and BAH/base housing Example: Saving $300/month by changing state residency adds up to thousands annually 2026 Numbers to Know TSP contribution limit: $24,500 (up from previous year) TSP annual additions limit: $72,000 (includes match and combat zone contributions) Roth IRA limit: $7,000 per person ($14,000 for married couples, even if spouse doesn't work) Military pay raise: 3.8% coming.

No hacks. No challenges. No “secret” plan. Just boring consistency done well. In this episode, I unpack a lesson I shared recently inside the Every Day Is Saturday community—why boring works, why simple beats sexy, and why compound interest is the most underrated force in fitness, business, and life. We talk about: Why boring meals + consistent habits beat “perfect plans” The difference between boring and lazy (they are NOT the same) Why early results always feel slow (and why that's a good sign) How compound interest works in your body, your message, and your business Why most people quit right before momentum shows up This isn't a hype episode.It's a builder's episode. If you've ever felt discouraged because progress feels slow…If you're showing up without applause…If you're doing the right things but wondering “Is this even working?”… This one's for you. If you want to be around people who understand this mindset—who are willing to show up, keep it simple, and let compound interest do its thing— Join the Every Day Is Saturday group for free today.

In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric break down missed opportunities, painful losses, and fraud-adjacent stories to show how real-world investors actually think through risk. Using everything from crypto FOMO to Shark Tank misses and Ponzi-style funds, they explore how to build a rational investing framework that can survive both wins and wipeouts.​ On this episode we talk about: Passing on early opportunities like crypto and what that really cost over time Famous “missed deals” like Ring and other Shark Tank passes that later exploded How to emotionally process investments that go to zero—even when they seemed “safe” Why trying to “beat the market” usually backfires for non-professional investors The blackjack analogy for setting clear investing rules and sticking to them Angel investing math: why most startups fail and what that means for your checks A real story of an investor-turned-felon running a quasi‑Ponzi fund How seemingly smart people slide from aggressive bets into outright fraud Why Travis shifted from big swings to boring, low‑risk, long‑term investments Top 3 Takeaways Losses are inevitable, so you need rules before you need returns. Approaching investing like blackjack—accepting losses as part of the game and sticking to a predetermined strategy—keeps you from going on emotional “tilt” after a bad beat. Most private deals will fail, even with “strong” founders. Angel and alternative investments should be treated as high‑risk, small‑allocation bets—not as the foundation of your net worth. Boring usually wins over time. For long‑term wealth, broad, diversified, low‑chance‑of‑zero investments (like major index funds) are a far more reliable base than chasing the next Uber or crypto rocket ship. Notable Quotes “You have to set rules and then stick to the rules—because losses are part of the game.” “You're not going to beat the market. Ray Dalio can't consistently beat the market, and he's the best in the world.” “There's no truly ‘no‑risk' investment. If someone promises that, they're either lying or they're going to prison.”​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Every year on the podcast, we select at least one (and sometimes more than one) pick to click, identifying players who are poised for breakout seasons. Tanner Houck. Joe Ryan. A few rode the BIB wave to great things. Bradfo is back with another candidate: New Astros pitcher Mike Burrows. The 26-year-old starter returns to the podcast after three years to offer insight into his recent trade and how a full season in the big leagues changed him. There is also a dramatic reading of Mike's contribution to the book, 'A Damn Near Perfect Game.' It's guaranteed good times for the listeners' present, and the pitcher's future.

Some episodes are planned. Others are produced. And then there are episodes like this one—where the setting, the people, and the moment all collide into something memorable. For the 500th episode of MakingChips, the team gathered once again At the Boring Bar for an unfiltered, bourbon-fueled roundtable with leaders from across the manufacturing ecosystem. Recorded live at Roush Yates Manufacturing Solutions during the Top Shops Conference in Charlotte, this special annual episode brings together shop owners, executives, advisors, and industry partners for the kinds of conversations that usually happen after the microphones are turned off. The drinks are poured, the guardrails come down, and the real stories start to flow. What emerges is an honest discussion about what truly separates top-performing shops from the rest. Not hype. Not buzzwords. But culture, systems, communication, and the discipline to do the hard things consistently—especially when cash flow is tight, customers are demanding, and complexity is rising. From benchmarking through the Top Shops survey to navigating OEM power dynamics, cash flow strain, customer communication, and the maturity of manufacturing as an industry, this conversation reflects how far the industry has come—and how far it still needs to go. Along the way, there are laughs, sharp takes, personal stories, and more than a few lessons earned the hard way. This is At the Boring Bar. And for Episode 500, it's exactly where the MakingChips conversation belongs.

David Royce went from a broke college kid in a door-to-door pest control job to building and selling four service businesses for nine-figure exits by applying Silicon Valley systems to an unsexy blue-collar industry. In this interview, he breaks down exactly how he scaled Aptive Environmental to over $500M in revenue, created a training engine that produced top-1% sales performers, and built a culture that became a recruiting magnet in a commodity market. For founders interested in recurring revenue, service businesses, systems, or operational excellence, this episode is a blueprint for building a scalable, sellable company from scratch. What you'll learn in this interview: • How David turned a “crappy summer job” into four nine-figure exits • The sales framework that took him from total failure to top 1% in one week • Why following your passion is overrated and unsexy industries create the biggest opportunities • The systemised sales engine and training playbook that scaled nationwide • How he built a white-collar culture inside a blue-collar business • Why paranoia is a competitive advantage and how to avoid the “screw-up phase” • How to structure a company for maximum exit value • The strategy behind selling three companies to the same buyer • How software, gamification, and AI supercharged efficiency and sales • What founders must understand about recurring revenue and private-equity rollups By the end of this episode, you'll understand the exact principles David used to build scalable operations, dominate an overlooked market, and turn recurring revenue into generational wealth — giving you the roadmap to build a company buyers compete for.
