What if you could keep your edge in busy seasons without apologizing for your power away?In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany sits down with mentor and recurring guest Brian Kavicky of Lushin to discuss the hidden cost of reflexive apologies and how to replace them with ownership, clarity, and momentum. They get into why “I'm sorry” often functions as self-protection (and subtle manipulation), when a genuine apology is warranted, and what to say instead so that relationships can strengthen and move forward.Then, Tiffany and Brian connect this mindset to execution: the “cookbook” system for daily behaviors, scheduling what matters on your calendar, and using year-end energy to set meaningful goals for 2026. They also offer a virtual, two-part goal-setting experience built around Life's Roadmap, bucket-list thinking, and friction-removal, so you don't just dream; you do.You'll walk away with a framework to:Ditch reflexive apologies and replace them with facts, ownership, and gratitude (“Thanks for your patience…here's where I'm at”).Spot real vs. faux guilt so you only apologize for actual value violations.Run your “cookbook” like a pro. Block it on the calendar, measure it, and adjust fast when you slip.Finish 2025 strong & set up 2026 with a practical plan.Wish you could talk it out with BK? Good news, you can!

Let's be honest: if your kiddos leave a trail of half-finished projects, open browser tabs, and idea explosions in their wake, you are SO not alone. Neurodivergent kids (and their amazing, multitasking moms!) can struggle with seeing things through—not because they're lazy or unmotivated, but because the finish line often feels fuzzy, overwhelming, or just plain boring. In this week's episode, we're unpacking: Why finishing is tough for neurodivergent kiddos, whether it's next-step anxiety, perfectionism, time blindness, or working memory hurdles. The power of “done statements”—specific, clear criteria for what finished actually looks like. (Think: “This is done when you've done 10 math problems with all steps shown” or “Laundry is done when it's in the drawer and the basket is empty.”) Works-in-progress (WIP) limits – One “now” and one “next,” with everything else safely parked and waiting. (Idea overload, be gone!) Quick wins and tiny products: Get something DONE in a day with a postcard summary, a 3-slide deck, or a 60-second voice memo. Saving progress rituals: So nothing gets lost, and future-you can jump right back in—next steps, photos, and all. Keeping motivation up: Dopamine logs, gallery walls, and flexible closure routines—because DONE is more important than PERFECT. Lots of love for all our creative, innovative kids (gifted, 2e, ADHD, autistic, and more). Remember—these strategies are for real families, with real kids, and I promise you, they WORK.   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsor: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

Rebuilding from Ruins (Bricks, Not Blueprints)Journal prompt: "A way to honor them by honoring me is…"There's no master plan—just weather and small bricks. Today is about doable over dazzling so the house you're rebuilding can actually stand.A Flicker (Hope) — Small done beats big imagined Finish one tiny thing: rinse the mug, move bills to one stack, crack a window, light a candle. Finished equals a warmer room. Warmth counts.To Rebuild (Healing) — Brick-of-the-Day (≤10 minutes)Pick a lane: Body · Home · Admin · Connection. Choose one tiny task.When/Then: “When it's 10:30, then I'll start the dishwasher.”Remove friction: set a 7–10 min timer, put items within reach, begin. If activation > 6/10, pause, long exhale, pick a lighter brick. Finishing small is the win.Take a Step (Becoming) — Value → micro-move Choose a value (steady, truthful, kind, creative, brave, present). Translate to today's micro-move: Steady: add a daily 10-minute “Brick” block to your calendar. Kind: schedule-send a two-sentence check-in to a fellow griever. Creative: lay out one tool you'll use tonight. Brave: message to join/host a small grief-friendly meetup this month.Choose-your-energy menu: Hollow (low): Drink a full glass of water and change your socks. Done. Healing (medium): Do one Brick-of-the-Day task with a timer. Stop when it dings. Name it out loud. Becoming (higher): Write one sentence for the week (e.g., “Fewer yeses, earlier exits”). Put it where you'll see it.Just for Today: Rebuilding isn't moving on—it's creating enough structure to carry love and loss at the same time. Ten honest minutes today beats another day of waiting for perfect conditions. The house you're making is lived-in, not staged; every small brick is proof you're still here, still building.One gentle breath. Keep what serves; leave the rest. I'll see you tomorrow.

We're closing out our Paul Thomas Anderson series with The Master, a haunting exploration of faith, control, and broken souls.From Joaquin Phoenix's raw and unhinged performance to Philip Seymour Hoffman's commanding presence and Amy Adams' chilling quiet power, we dive deep into why this film feels like one of PTA's most enigmatic and enduring works.As PTA month comes to an end, we reflect on the journey through his filmography—capped off with a film that lingers long after the credits roll.Intense, unsettling, and unforgettable—PTA at his most powerful.From the rise and fall of Boogie Nights to the sprawling chaos of Magnolia, from the quirky heart of Punch-Drunk Love to the operatic greed of There Will Be Blood, from the hometown pride of One Battle After Another to the haunting intensity of The Master—our month with Paul Thomas Anderson has been as bold, strange, and unforgettable as the films themselves. PTA Month may be ending, but the brilliance lingers long after the credits roll.

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, we're rounding home-plate and reading the second half of my friend and colleague Eric Millar's work, The Four Color Grimoire! And this has everything to do with the legendary and still somewhat-unsung legacy of Jack Kirby - the King of Comics! But overall, it has the most to do with the art of nerd-fandom world-building itself, and the catharsis that can come from both creating and enjoying these things.(For those unfamiliar, Stan Lee hardly created any of the heroes he is known for, and rode off the coat-tails of Kirby in the creation of superheroes like the Avengers, the X-Men, and most of their respective casts. And when Lee wasn't riding on Kirby's coat-tails, he hitched onto people like Steve Ditko in the creation of Spider-Man.)If you haven't listened to the last episode, I encourage you to do so, although it's not entirely necessary. In the first half of the work, we discussed the archetypal, allegorical value in modern nerd fandoms by looking at OG comic book culture and art.In this episode, we talk all that context and dive into the legacies of some of the most inventive and esoteric creators in comic books! While a solid two-thirds or so focuses on the great Jack Kirby, we also take the time to look into the titanic art and careers of both Steve Ditko and Rick Veitch. Don't sleep on these fascinating artists, or on Eric's Four Color Grimoire!RELATED CONTENT:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DIVE MANUAL AUDIOBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (narrated by Joe Rupe)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HUNT MANUAL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BHA LINKTREE w books, shorts, and much more⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠purchase Four Color Grimoire⁠⁠WE THE HALLOWED⁠ MEDIABHA episodes with Eric Millar:Four Color Grimoire pt 1⁠Existential Fury⁠⁠Garbage Wizardry⁠⁠OG Comics and mysticism pt 1⁠⁠OG Comics and mysticism pt 2 (with Martin Ferretti)⁠This week's featured music, as always, is brought to you by some of the most titanic beatmakers and wordsmiths of the underground!

“This is the moment I've been training three years for. There's been three years of a lot of hard work and hard times to get to this. This is the thing in my mind, that dream and goal that's kept me going. Once I put that into perspective, it was a lot easier to ride that wave of momentum into Worlds.”About two months after we caught up with Sage Hurta-Klecker after making her first U.S. team, she's back on the CITIUS MAG Podcast to recap her experience at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo. Sage made it count. After sneaking into the 800m final as the last qualifier, she unleashed a fearless performance, dropping nearly two full seconds off her PB to finish fifth in the final in 1:55.89. This made her the third fastest American of all-time and now sits behind legends like Athing Mu and Ajee Wilson. She's finishing the year with 12 outdoor 800s and 12 sub-two performances. Sage proved that she belongs among the very best in the world and you'll hear in this episode that the 800m is where she's planning to stay for the time being. This was a fun one. We go through all of her experiences from training to the time in between races and how her mindset shifted throughout the rounds. I love doing these recaps and Sage is an open book with all of it, including the training. She's actually asking for more people to take notice of her on Strava, so go ahead and hit her with a follow there. ____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Sage Hurta-Klecker | @hurtasage on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

“I wanted to be calm, relaxed, and confident that I belonged here… Maybe I didn't get the outcome that I wanted, but I hit my goal of being calm, trying to stay low emotion, and float, follow, and relax — all of the words that I said to myself. I'm really proud of how I navigated that race.”Please welcome back to the show – the one and only Nikki Hiltz. And what a year it's been! Just a season after finishing seventh at the Paris Olympics, Nikki stepped onto the line at the World Championships in Tokyo and delivered the best outdoor global finish of their career: fifth in the 1500m. They ran 3:57.08, the top American in the final, and held their own in a race where Faith Kipyegon, Dorcus Ewoi, and Jessica Hull all ran sub-3:56 for medals.Yes, it's easy to get caught up in the medal talk that we pushed throughout the championships. That's what we do as pundits to talk about the sport. But for Nikki, it wasn't about the outcome as much as the process: staying calm, engaged, and believing in their plan lap after lap.That mindset carried them to a performance that showed just how close they are to the world's very best. Today, we talk about the lessons learned, the mantras that kept them grounded, and what it means to chase medals while staying true to the journey.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Nikki Hiltz | @nikkihiltz on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Listen: Sage Hurta After Finishing 5th In The World Championships 800m Final In 1:55.89 (Third-Fastest American Ever) | Tokyo 2025 Recap + Reflections____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSASICS: The Megablast is the Mega Man of the Blast lineup.

Erik Simonsen isn't one to let obstacles get in his way, so when, toward the end of a recent 31-mile hike through the Vermont wilderness, for something called the Killington Spartan Ultra 50K, it was just a 60-pound sandbag between him and the finish line, OK, that one almost got him. “Just cruel, yeah, I think that they put it at the end was the cruel part. You know, in the middle, I could have done it fine and gotten through it. But the very last thing is just this huge sandbag carry, and it's, oh, why is it here?” said Simonsen, a 33-year-old Waynesboro High School alum, who got past the sandbag carry to finish the Sept. 13 Killington Ultra in 12:26:12.

We've been tossing around LPVO/MPVO for years—so let's finish the system and make it useful. In this episode I lay out a practical naming convention for tactical optics:PO – Pistol Optics (micro/open/closed-emitter pistol dots)NVO – Non-Variable Optics (rifle-rated red dots, holo, prisms, + optional magnifiers)LPVO – Low-Power Variable Optics (1-4/1-6/1-8/1-10; no parallax knob)MPVO – Mid-Power Variable Optics (high-1x/2-10/2-12/… with parallax adjustment)IPVO – Intermediate-Power Variables (3-15/3-18/4-16/2-20; tops out ≤20x)HPVO – High-Power Variable Optics (≥ ~5-25 and up; ELR/bench/tactical precision)I also cover why parallax is the line between LPVO and MPVO, where prisms live, why 3-18x isn't an MPVO, and how hunters can steal the best parts of “tactical boy” glass.Sound off in the comments: What would you tweak in these definitions?Shop & support:Optics Ready-to-Go, mounts, rings, etc. at Ally MunitionsLocal folks: go see Milling About Outdoors for a big in-stock selectionChapters below.

Welcome back to Snafu with Robin Zander. In this episode, I'm talking with Bobby Podesta, longtime Pixar animator and storyteller. We dig into why storytelling and art matter, and why finding your own voice is more important than copying anyone else. Bobby opens up about his journey as an artist, the imposter syndrome he's faced, and how he learned to create art in a style that's truly his. We talk about how he turned a written novel into a graphic novel, translating dialogue and descriptions into illustrations along the way. He shares lessons from his college design teacher about noticing the art all around us—not just in museums or galleries. We also explore how design and storytelling balance function and emotion, in ways you might not even realize in everyday life. Bobby's story shows that creativity isn't about perfection – it's about showing up and being authentic. He gives a fresh perspective on how storytelling shapes the way we see the world and connect with others. This episode is full of insights for anyone who cares about art, design, and telling stories that matter. 00:00 Start 03:13 The Importance of Human Connection in Storytelling Bobby on storytelling Background: 30 years in film, always thinking about story structure. Drama is about “what you're both keeping back and what you're waiting to surprise your audience with.” Steve Jobs anecdote Jobs builds suspense with “one more thing.” On stage, he asks: “Has anyone ever wondered what this small pocket is for?” (the tiny jeans pocket). Instead of something expected like a coin, he pulls out “the world's smallest iPod and people flip out.” Why it works: audience knows the pocket's size → no need to explain iPod's dimensions. Structure: setup → familiar norm → question → twist → payoff. Bobby's takeaway: “That's really good storytelling, man. It's really good storytelling.” “People call him a salesperson. Like he's a great salesman. He's a great storyteller. If you can tell a good story, you're pulling people in. That's the key.” Robin on storytelling & AI His work is making commercials and mini-docs for startups. Says video itself doesn't matter as much as impact: “What I care about is changing human behavior and changing human emotion.” Believes the value of human storytelling is timeless: “The value of sitting at Homer's feet and listening to him recite the Iliad is never going to go away.” Bobby on storytelling & art Storytelling = fundamental way to convey and connect. Sees it like art: “Art is a way to express your opinion and how you process the world around you in a manner that hopefully other people can experience and relate to.” Calls art his “oldest friend, who I've probably treated the worst… neglected, starved, and then expect it to show up and perform.” Believes everyone can create: “Art is not a zero-sum game… art is ultimately subjective because art is an opinion about how you see the world.” Goal of art/storytelling: help others “find some relationship to the world around them through it.” 06:01 Art as a Form of Expression Robin's setup Grew up between an artist mother and entrepreneur father – “perfect intersection” of art + business. Distinguishes museum art (“old, on walls”) from art that's “around us all the time.” Points out modern communicators (Musk, Trump) as powerful storytellers/branders – even if you disagree with the content, “that is great art in the form of good communication.” Asks: why do we separate “high” art (Iliad, museums) from everyday, cultural storytelling (Pixar, branding)? Art is everywhere Bobby uses the car-buying analogy to explain awareness: “You're looking for a midsize pickup and suddenly you see them everywhere. They didn't just appear. You're just paying attention.” Art works the same way – once you start noticing, you realize it's all around you. Lesson from a design teacher: “If it wasn't dug up or grown, it's designed.” Everything man-made carries intention – and therefore, art. Pushes back on the museum-only view of art: “Saying art is only in museums is like saying there are only cars at dealerships. There are cars everywhere. There's art everywhere.” Examples of art woven into daily life: Clothing, headphones, glasses Desks, chairs, pottery, textiles Buildings, skylines, sidewalk prints Freeway dividers, lamps Even tools: “Go get a hammer. The handle's probably painted a color. It may be a penny's worth of art, but it's art, man.” Definition of art: “All these things are working with that balance between functionality and making you feel something.” Even branding choices – a color, a shape – are designed to evoke feeling. Perspective shift: Once you adjust your lens, “there's a lot of art out there. It's really, really amazing.” 12:04 The Relationship Between Artist and Art Bobby compares practice to a relationship: “It's like the people that love you the most, sometimes you treat the worst.” Practice is like a loyal friend or character always waiting: Wants to be fed, but often ignored. Always ready to show up again. “It's like that little character that shows up and is always there to help you out.” Robin asks if practice is a character on his shoulder. Bobby: “It probably is… but I love it. If there's a napkin, I'll doodle.” Art as a shared childhood language: Everyone starts out drawing: “Have you ever met an adult who didn't draw as a kid? Everyone says yes.” Drawing is how children interpret the world. Family encouragement made “the artist” part of his identity. Becoming a writer: Took a UC Berkeley Extension class called “Finishing the Novel.” Professor's advice: “You're all taking classes. None of you are professionals. Go form a writers' group.” Writers' group provided accountability → led to a first draft. Draft → literary agent → graphic novel → published book. “Flash forward all these years later and I have a book that comes out… I guess I'm an author.” Lessons on growth and identity: Identity comes from practice and persistence, not instant recognition. Progress isn't linear: “The road is not a straight line.” Common trap: believing “I should have been there already.” Bobby reframes time: “You can often have what you want, or you can have something when you want it. But you can rarely have what you want when you want it.” Letting go of rigid timelines gives a better chance of arriving. 18:01 The Process of Creating a Graphic Novel Robin asks why this story, why now, and why as a debut novel. Bobby admits he had played with different story ideas before. Thought to himself: “If I only have one chance to do this, what story do I want to tell?” Origin spark: a daydream while driving. “What if an animal just jumped out in front of me?” What if it leapt into the air and flew away? “What if that animal was a reindeer?” Question: what would a reindeer be doing here? That “what if” became the seed of the story. Bobby folded parts of himself into the idea. Loves holiday stories and movies → wanted to write one. Describes storytelling as crafting from a “pantry of experiences.” Not autobiography or documentary, but infused with pieces of his life. Details of the novel: Protagonist is an 11-year-old girl in 1955 Colorado. Bobby: “I was neither alive in 1955, nor have I ever been an 11-year-old girl, nor have I found a flying reindeer — spoiler alert.” Still, fragments of his own experiences and emotions shape the narrative. Goal as an author: To blend reality with imagination. To create something unique, fresh, and able to stand on its own. 20:58 Visual Storytelling vs. Written Storytelling Robin asks about storytelling: what's similar between Steve Jobs' two-minute iPod reveal and a 350-page graphic novel? Bobby: scale is different, but fundamentals are the same. Both are about introducing an idea, building drama, and pulling the audience in. Events and books both follow arcs: setup → build → climax → resolution. “He doesn't start the event with that, he ends the event with that. That's the climax.” Storytelling has shape across mediums: Characters introduced → audience grows to care → surprises and turns → payoffs. Example: Steve Jobs' coin pocket reveal → set up, then payoff. In a book, the payoff may come 100 pages later instead of 30 seconds. Analogy: whether you play 30 seconds of a song or an hour-long concert, you're still using the same fundamentals of music. Robin shifts to Bobby's background as a visual storyteller. As an animator of 30 years, Bobby is comfortable with visual stories, while Robin is more comfortable with written ones. Robin compares Bobby's graphic novel to The Bone Compendium (which he revisits often) and contrasts with Heinlein novels he might attempt. Robin: making comics doesn't have to be like “my mother's artwork she slaved over for years.” It can be like newspaper comics compiled into story. Asks Bobby for advice on where to begin if he wanted to try sketching a visual story. Bobby's advice: Many people don't think visual storytelling is possible for them. Shares personal story: On his first post-college date with his wife (now 25 years married), he said he wanted to write a book. It took him 25 years to actually write one. Never thought of doing a graphic novel because his drawing style didn't look like Marvel or X-Men. Even as a professional artist, felt imposter syndrome Realization: it's not about imitating Spider-Man — it's about drawing in your own style. Art is your opinion expressed visually. Stick figures can work if they serve the story. Doesn't have to be polished airbrushed paintings. How his graphic novel came about: Originally wrote the story as a regular novel. Sent to publishers with just a few illustrations. All said no — except one, who said: “I love the illustrations. Would you consider making this a graphic novel?” Bobby: “All right.” Treated it as an invitation. Decided to draw in his own style. Practical process: Took all the dialogue he had already written. Turned descriptions into drawings. Book was already written in close third person, without inner thoughts → made translation easier. First pass: dialogue in speech bubbles, description drawn. Realized: “I guess this works.” Takeaway: You don't have to start by drawing an entire book from scratch. You can begin with writing, then translate description into visuals.   28:10 Resilience in the Face of Rejection Robin points out the sheer amount of work Bobby went through: writing a book, getting rejected repeatedly, reinventing it with illustrations, then turning it into a graphic novel only to be rejected again. Robin: “It's almost the literal definition of courage… getting back up and trying again.” Notes that outsiders might think: “30-year Pixar animator, easy for you.” But the reality was rejection after rejection. Asks: how do you come back? What is your relationship with practice that allows you to face no 50 times and keep going? Bobby on optimism and imagination: “I'm lucky that I happen to be what myself and other people probably call an optimistic person.” Describes himself as “an optimist with a vivid imagination” → always assuming, “Yeah, we'll figure this out.” Loves being middle-aged because experience gives perspective: you've seen enough to know you can recover. The arc of a career/life: Beginning stage: fearless. “I can do anything because I cannot die.” Willing to leap into anything: start a company, go broke, jump off a cliff → “We'll figure it out.” Middle stage: awareness of consequences. Relationships, responsibilities, failures and successes → “I don't know if I should do anything.” Weight of awareness can freeze you. Later stage: resilience. “I'm still here, I figured it out.” Confidence comes not from avoiding mistakes but from knowing: “I can recover from anything.” Personal examples: Bobby's two kids are both in college. He reflects on their application process: multiple schools, multiple options. His own experience was the opposite: Applied to only one school (CalArts). Barely got in. Supported by his single mother, who let him pursue art school. That early challenge taught him persistence and how to “figure it out.” The practice of persistence: Life and career filled with moments of trial and error. “That didn't work. Okay, maybe this. Well, that didn't work. Maybe this.” Sometimes progress feels like moving backwards before going forward again. Analogy: like a Roomba. Hits an obstacle → bounces, changes direction, keeps moving. “I don't know that equating myself to a robot vacuum is the best thing, but it eventually gets the whole job done.” 33:33 Storytelling Frameworks and Structures Bobby on classical story structure in his book: Book follows a traditional arc: opening, inciting incident (

The World Athletics Championships marathon in Tokyo was always going to be a test of patience, heat management, and guts and two American women rose to the occasion.For over an hour, Susanna Sullivan was the story of the race. A sixth-grade math teacher from Virginia, she surged to the front by 5K, running alone through the streets of Tokyo with nothing but the sticky, humid air and a clock for company. By halfway, she had built a 63-second lead on the pack of global stars behind her. And when they finally came for her, Sullivan didn't panic. She held her rhythm, managed the late miles and battled all the way to the line for fourth place in 2:28:17 — just seconds away from becoming the third American woman ever to medal in a World Championship marathon.Alongside her, Jess McClain was running her own masterclass in composure. McClain tucked in behind Sullivan early, endured the surging heat, and stayed locked in when the race splintered. Running smart and steady, McClain delivered the best global performance of her career, finishing eighth in 2:29:20. In a field stacked with some of the fastest women of all-time, McClain proved she belongs.Peres Jepchirchir and Tigist Assefa settled gold and silver with a final-lap sprint inside Japan National Stadium. Uruguay's Julia Paternain stunned the world with a historic bronze. But it was Sullivan and McClain who gave Team USA its heartbeat. Two working professionals, two fearless racers.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠Guest: Susanna Sullivan & Jess McClain | @susannasullivan4 on Instagram & @jesstonn on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

The Cardinals are 2-0, and while there might be things to talk about getting better, how does that not leave Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck stoked for what's to come? Regardless, the trio discuss how the Cardinals can find a way to finish strong, a defense that played well most of the game despite the final score, the cornerbacks injuries and how Jonathan Gannon and Nick Rallis can solve what issues come from that, Josh Sweat's home debut, the storybook return of Calais Campbell, a touching segment of Getting Cultured, the expectations for MHJ, upgrading run production, a stunning episode of The Wise Guy, the NFC West and what the 49ers have with Mac Jones, Winning Behavior and the rising temperatures of San Jose.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

​For the first time ever, I'm inviting you to join me behind the scenes as I plan and execute my most powerful Quarterly Sprint of the year — and design your own right alongside me.Join me for The Finish Strong Project HERE.----------It's easy to think about goals at the beginning of the year.It's that fresh start season, “new year, new you” and all that jazz.Everyone's talking about resolutions, so you do too.And then promptly forget about them, come February or March. By the time summer hits, all those good intentions have been long forgotten, and then fall comes and almost feels like…what's the point? The holidays are right around the corner, so you might as well wait until next year.Right?And I get it. But I don't buy it. Because what I've learned over the past 15 years of being super intentional with my goals, is that 90 days is actually a long time.Long enough to make real progress on anything you want for your life.Long enough to see real results, but still short enough to keep you focused.Even in the midst of a busy season.And I believe that you have the power to make this your best quarter yet. Not next year. Not when life gets less crazy. Right now. This year, we're not limping to the finish line. So let's dive in.

Finishing this month's Lounge, Pax, Rob, and Michael talk about the novel that inspired Gymkata, amusement parks vs theme parks, cozy video games, work spaces, the new Ultimate Spider-Man, and meeting Oscar Goldman.
