Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything

Summary: Welcome to the final stop on our Summer Road Trip Series, friends! Today, Holly and Devin sip some tea while sheltering from the Seattle rain in Washington State. With cozy vibes that can quickly turn sinister, this state is ripe with potential for stories in either wheelhouse for our hosts. Culturally and literally this state is rooted in nature and the natural world, which can highlight the most epic loves or the darkest, chilling terrors. We're so delighted you joined us for our road trip and are excited to dive into Spooky Season with you next!  Topics Discussed: The Heart (4:08): Devin discussed Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur, a sapphic romance following Darcy Lowell and Elle Jones after a disastrous first date turns into a fake-dating relationship of convenience. Both trying to escape pressures from family, the no-nonsense actuary Darcy and the earnest astrologer Elle agree to play the part of lovers through the holiday season, but fate (and the stars?) have a different plan for them. Devin's key takeaways are: This novel takes place in Seattle and everything about it from the location descriptions to the characters themselves speak to that quirky, offbeat but sincere culture. Things are a bit slower, the rain creates a vibe, and everyone is more in-tune with their feelings in this neck of the woods.  Astrology is a major player in the entire trilogy by Bellefleur. The book has fun astrological tidbits woven throughout (what song are you based on your astrological sign, etc.) and is a huge part of Elle's career, life etc. and how Darcy ends up authentically connecting with her.  This story was one of Devin's favorite “opposites attract” and “fake dating” trope stories she's run into for the last several years. Elle and Darcy are both so authentic, their issues so valid and their situation so feasible feeling that it's impossible not to buy in.  The Dagger (16:27): Holly discussed The Return of Ellie Black by Emiko Jean, a crime fiction story centered around Ellie Black - a 19 year-old who stumbles out of the Washington State woods and back into the world from which she disappeared when she was kidnapped two years prior. Detective Casey Calhoun works with Ellie and is determined to get to the bottom of what happened to her, but has a hard time getting straight answers. With personal investment in uncovering the truth, Calhoun must discern if it's trauma or if Ellie is hiding something. Holly's key takeaways were: The concept and tropes in this book aren't groundbreaking–disappearing girls, seasoned detective determined to solve it–but somehow Jean made the story feel fresh with fantastic execution. Jean deeply established the characters themselves, which balanced well with the story that unravels in alternating POVs and timelines. Jean examines themes like misogyny and misplaced affection; Ellie's perspective is told as though she's speaking to someone, although we're not sure who, if it's the detective or someone else. It goes back and walks the reader through what she experienced while kidnapped, which is pretty chilling. There was a decent sense of place as being in the Pacific Northwest, especially when experiencing the vastness of the woods that Ellie is held within and from which she emerges.

Explaining what's in the Mueller Report is really difficult when the person you are talking to is determined not to understand what's in the Mueller report

“We ‘massage’ the truth to make it fit the narrative we need it to fit in our lives.”  –Andrew McCarthy In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Andrew talk about how Andrew got started in travel writing, and how writing himself on the page helped him see himself in the world (2:30); when he does and doesn’t conflate certain details in the interest of a good story, and how he balances the “micro” and the “macro” elements of a travel story (12:30); how he decides who to write about, among the many people he meets on the road, which details do and don’t drive the narrative forward, and what it’s like to meet travelers who recognize him from his acting days (23:30); how Andrew structures his travel stories, and what travel storytelling in common with his work as a TV director (31:00); how he balances his writing and non-writing work in life, and how he mixes personal details with place details in his travel writing (38:00); and how memory can be fallible, and how to best write about family members (47:00). Andrew McCarthy (@AndrewTMcCarthy) is an actor, television director and writer of such books as The Longest Way Home and Brat. His newest book is Walking with Sam: A Father, a Son, and Five Hundred Miles Across Spain.

This week we talk to the father-daughter team of Marty Ohlhaut and Grace Ly. They have written a travel memoir called Tent for Seven: A Camping Adventure Gone South Out West. This book is based on the true story of their family camping trip to the Canadian Rockies which went horribly wrong in the 1990s. Marty, his wife Jolene, and their 5 children flew from Charlotte NC to the Pacific Northwest and then drove a van to several spots in the majestic Canadian mountains. They camped in their family tent, lovingly referred to as Big Blue. While there, so many things went awry but most importantly, Jolene was severely injured and had to be taken to a hospital where she spent many days. The Ohlhaut family was in disarray but Good Samaritans named the Walshes came to the rescue. This family is genetically predisposed to adventure. You will hear Marty talk about some wild things he has seen and done, and even though Grace doesn't doesn't mention it, she also is an adventure seeker. She dog sleds in Finland and rock climbs in Colorado. Carrie and I are so boring in comparison.

In this episode, I'm joined by a special guest, Ben Ornstein, one of my Ruby heroes. I may fan-boy a bit as I express my admiration for Tuple, a tool I love. Together, we dive deep into Tuple's journey, starting from its inception and delving into the creative problem-solving and ingenuity behind its design and development. Ben also reveals his transition from CEO to Head of Product.  We discuss the fresh perspective on team collaboration methods and product development this change offers. We explore how feedback loops and Agile practices play a pivotal role in Tuple's continuous evolution. Along the way, we also reflect on the 'My Life in Weeks' poster, which serves as a stark reminder of the fleeting nature of our time on Earth. This episode is a roller-coaster of insights, trivia, and reflections that will hopefully leave you feeling wiser and more contemplative.Links:@r00k on TwitterTuple (aka my favorite way to pair)'My Life in Weeks' poster'A Short History of Nearly Everything' by Bill BrysonSupport the showReady to start your own podcast?This show is hosted on Buzzsprout and it's awesome, not to mention a Ruby on Rails application.

Robert Kirkwood picks five books from 2003 available from the Talking Books library, and we chat to authors Lynne Truss (Eats, Shoots and Leaves), Mark Haddow (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time) and Bill Bryson (A Short History of Nearly Everything). Plus, as always, we find some new gems in the library.

Three Things I Learned In SaaS, Sports, Tech and Live Events 1. Selling out is bad advice. There are a number of gurus out there, led recently by one I admire a lot, Scott Galloway, offering the advice that chasing your passion is an outlier game for billionaires which means we're better off pursuing what we're good at. It is an important topic for me as I once had to make the decision to keep doing what I was good at, and safe in at a big stable company (News Corp), or jump ship to take a big risk on a short term job in sports (thanks Jerry Maguire for debuting at just the right time in my life). As I've gotten more blessings and 'things of this world,' I've had the chance to spend time with very "successful" people. Too many are miserable and stuck in the fuzzy handcuffs. They 'did what they were supposed to' and once they caught the rabbit, they realized they don't want the rabbit. Scott is so impressive. I really admire his content. Personally, I think he's very wrong on this one. I really do love my job. A lot. If he had put that content out and I had come across it in my 20's, I may not be here. I only get to go around this carousel once and I'm glad I'm doing it on the pony I chose and not the path of least resistance. Work is so much of our lives - I'd like to spend it on something I really care about - and by that, I mean something I'll do for the rest of my life even when it's not for money. 2. We all missed the point in the Karate Kid (At least Mr. Miyagi didn't). "Beating" someone proves nothing, changes nothing, and actually makes us all worse. Talking to some parents this week gave me a revelation I'm ashamed I didn't see earlier. We were discussing when a kid talks crap or tears down our boys and both dads advice to their sons in that situation was "well then go beat them and shut them up." Advice I've heard a lot and seems common. Heck, that's the entire premise of the movie (You're alright LaRusso!- forget how we've tortured you for months let's just move on). But what does that achieve? So we beat them in sports or business. Does that make us right? Better? Does it justify anything? Does that make us loving or help change the world for the better like I assume we want? Or does it just make us feel better personally while the vanquished change nothing about what they're doing? Michael Jordan beat everyone. Does that make him better? I watched his documentary and I can say with certainty I don't want to be 'like mike' at all. Or like Steve Jobs. Or, or, or. All it does is take us from "asshole" to "asshole who won at X." Trust me, I know. I won a lot when I was an asshole as a kid - and I'm very ashamed of all of it. I've never once seen someone change their feelings about someone or their actions after they lost to them. IME, when the 'good guy' beats the 'bad' guy, the 'bad' guy just comes back more intense. Try spending time with high schoolers these days - they ramp up the venom in ways that would make William Golding blush. Winning is great. I really like it. But not at all costs and it improves just about nothing. Just about everyone who change the world for Christ was murdered. 10 of the disciples, Paul, and on and on. The world "beat" them. But who changed it more? Work in progress for me. 3. SaaS is hurting and the buyers are flexing. We do multi-year deals for our software. We do this because, like most SaaS orgs, we lose quite a bit of money on a new customer for quite awhile before we get paid back and turn a profit (GMPP = X). Never before has there been more insistence on 1-year deals. I believe there are two reasons: 1) SaaS is hurting so badly, that many of these smaller/newer firms will cede and do the one year deal - which is bad for everyone and 2) As vendors get more desperate in the face of heavy churn, they'll do just about anything. The SaaS crunch hasn't hit us (thank you Lord), but we are seeing a change out there. Don't do bad deals. They're worse than no deals. 4. Self-promotion is necessary. Last week I shared that LinkedIn has gotten pretty cringy. In reading "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson, the author highlights a number of super impressive people who didn't get accolades due to a total lack of self-promotion. Isaac Newton sat on breakthroughs for 20+ years. Reminds me of Jeff Clark finding, and surfing, Mavericks for 10 years before telling anyone else. It may be cringy, but there seems to be a need for it to a certain extent.

He even named the tallest, fastest roller coaster in the world.  Lauded on LinkedIn for sharing ads for advertising agencies, David is dead set on reminding us all that agencies have an obligation to advertise themselves, yet inexplicably few do.  Lend us your ears for a caffeine-fuelled chinwag on writing 500 TV commercials in 3 years, why agencies won't advertise themselves, winning and losing a client in 24 hours, how to retain creative talent when your clients aren't big sexy brands, cover songs, why you shouldn't be afraid to lean on precedent, and a shed load more.

"I have just seen too many people, when trouble hits...they figure out then, 'Oh, I wasn't really connected to Jesus ... I wasn't really grounded on anything," she told hosts Brittni and Richard De La Mora. "I just have such a burden for that."Alli is out with a new book, "How to Stay Standing: 3 Essential Practices for Building a Faith That Lasts." On this episode of "Let's Talk Purity," she shares her own story of growing up the "classic good kid," meeting Jesus at age 16 — and then making some diabolical decisions in her 20s. Those choices, she said, "burned to the ground almost everything in my life."Suddenly, Alli's marriage and career were in shambles and she was forced to go on a journey, recognizing the way she lived her life — based on the world's standards — was unfulfilling.

James Connolly is a film producer (most recently - Sacred Cow), co-host of the Sustainable Dish podcast, avid reader, and passionate about food. It's hard to encapsulate this conversation in a description - we cover a lot of ground. At its core, it's the broad strokes of just how we ended up in our current paradigm. We start about 150 years ago, where we follow threads of the move from rural to urban environments and how the idea of ‘cleanliness' begins to take hold. We cover the Great Grain Robbery and the formation of commodities that would change the agricultural world and how technology has played a role in these early formation of food systems and how it's playing a role now, leading into a conversation of techno-utopias. James covers school systems, as someone who has run a non-profit for schools in New York, and how we're taught what to think, not how to think and the compulsory education experiment. We also dive into the history of medicalizing the human experience using some personal anecdotes around grief to explore the world of psychiatric medication and beyond. All of this leads into a discussion of the techno-utopia that we're often being marketed and the shape of the current food system. It's a big, rolling conversation filled with all the book recommendations you need to keep it going.We also talk about: Butchery through the lens of two butchersThe vilification of meat Effective Altruism & so much more (seriously, so much more)Timestamps: 09:30: The Sanitization of Humanity 18:54: The Poison Squad33:03: The Great Grain Robbery + Commodities 44:24: Techno-Utopias The Genesis of the Idea that Technology is the Answer55:01: Tunnel Vision in Technology, Carbon, and Beyond1:02:00: Food in Schools and Compulsory Education1:11:00: Medicalization of Human Experience1:51:00: Effective Altruism 2:11:00: Butchery 2:25:00: More Techno-Utopias Find James: Twitter: @jamescophoto Instagram: @primatekitchenPodcast: Sustainable Dish Reading/Watching List The Invention of Capitalism by Michael PerelmanDaniel Quinn's WorksThe Poison Squad by Deborah BlumMister Jones (film)Shibumi by Trevanian Dumbing Us Down: the Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling by John Taylor GattoThree Identical Strangers (film)Related Mind, Body, and Soil Episodes:

When was the last time you openly admitted you were wrong about something? Maybe you reacted angrily toward your toddler about something that did not warrant it. Perhaps you started a fight with your partner, realized it was petty, but kept it going because you didn't know how to admit you were tired, or cranky, or wrong about what you thought was going on. Being wrong, recognizing we are wrong, and admitting we are wrong can feel very vulnerable and scary. Why is that? Listen to this week's podcast for some understanding and insight into this important topic. Learning how to be wrong and admit it is critical for happy, healthy relationships. It's also necessary to reduce cognitive dissonance and create psychological flexibility that creates of sense of peace and calm in the chaos. A Short History of Nearly Everything
