¿Te has preguntado alguna vez por qué algunos emprendedores parecen disfrutar intensamente de su trabajo mientras otros se sienten constantemente agotados y estresados?¿Qué diferencia a aquellos fundadores que están tan absortos en lo que hacen que el tiempo parece desaparecer de los que luchan constantemente contra las distracciones y el agotamiento?En este episodio analizamos "Flow: La Psicología de la Experiencia Óptima" (Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990) de Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, una obra revolucionaria que descifra el estado mental donde alcanzamos nuestro máximo rendimiento y disfrute.Lo que descubrió Csikszentmihalyi después de décadas de investigación es fascinante: las personas experimentan flow cuatro veces más durante el trabajo que durante el tiempo libre. Sin embargo, paradójicamente, siguen prefiriendo el ocio al trabajo. ¿La razón? La mayoría de los trabajos no están diseñados para generar flow de manera consistente.Como emprendedores, tenemos una ventaja única: podemos diseñar deliberadamente nuestro trabajo y el de nuestro equipo para maximizar estas experiencias óptimas.A lo largo del episodio exploramos los 9 elementos universales del flow y cómo aplicarlos en tu día a día empresarial:
Steven Puri, Founder and CEO of The Sukha Company and former Academy Award-winning CGI producer and Hollywood executive, shares his insights from movie production and experiences as a tech entrepreneur. Emphasizing applied learning, Steven offers strategic and tactical insights for designing remote and hybrid work, cultivating focus, and supporting fulfilled cohesive teams to reduce churn. Drawing parallels with the Hollywood model, he discusses project-based collaboration, individualized productivity rhythms, and creating environments that support deep, self-directed learning and growth. TAKEAWAYS [01:33] Steven shares how each beneficial life opportunity has come from unexpected “left turns.” [01:57] Early on, Steven balances interests in journalism and coding, influenced by his engineer parents. [03:42] At USC, Steven's tech fluency gives him entrée to film during the shift from analog to digital. [04:30] Working on trailers and music videos, Steven connects with aspiring filmmakers and directors. [05:26] Independence Day needs digital effects launching Steven's Hollywood experience producing visual effects for major directors and films. [06:49] Co-founding a company after Academy Award success, the team delivers for investors. [10:43] Returning to technology to have agency, Steven starts and raises money for two tech companies. [12:01] Reviewing failed ventures, Steven's top learning is to listen more to others. [13:30] Recognizing the Hollywood production cycle has always operated in remote, hybrid and in-person phases. [14:50] How remote/hybrid/in-person phases of filmmaking offer insights for modern work design. [15:37] The principle about personal productivity is to find a dedicated place where your mind settles. [18:17] In film projects, separation of visionary and operational leadership roles is critical. [19:18] ‘Flow' principles—such as feedback loops and daily metrics—enables continuous improvement. [20:42] End of day progress reviews in film production supports high-intensity teamwork. [23:32] Creative breakthroughs are enabled when the brain is distracted, not singularly focused. [27:07] Steven buys a friend's startup's code base to build upon the to-do list using Hollywood learning. [28:07] The Sukha platform is rooted in work design insights to enable deep focus. [29:55] The app improves focus by limiting overwhelm and breaking major tasks into sub-steps. [31:07] Sukha's assistant adapts to personal styles—momentum-building or starting with difficult tasks. [33:38] Understanding your own work rhythms to optimize for deep productivity. [35:17] Sukha uses curated music and real environmental sounds scientifically tuned for flow states. [37:30] Timers and breaks prevent burnout and encourage brain recovery post-focus. [38:49] Feedbacks help users learn from distractions and track progress with real-time productivity scores. [40:08] Optional co-working “coffee shop” to share energy and foster community accountability. [41:06] Social facilitation theory supports the idea that seeing others work can increase your output. [44:41] A user describes how Sukha helps him be being present with his kids or lose the whole day. [45:46] The goal is not just productivity, but meaningful, self-fulfilling work that leads to happiness. [46:18] Steven renames the company “Sukha” - a Sanskrit word meaning happiness and self-fulfillment – which is his ultimate goal for people to achieve. [46:51] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Cultivating self-fulfilled, cohesive teams reduces churn. If people are enabled to do great work, they want to stay. RESOURCES Steven Puri on LinkedIn The Sukha Company website Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport QUOTES “That pulse has existed for a hundred years in film. It is very well respected. Here's what you do as a leader of these teams that are remote, hybrid, in person, hybrid, remote.” “Set your environment up properly—that's one principle of getting into flow.” “The principle about productivity, even if you work from your home, have a dedicated place where your mind settles into, ‘oh this is where I focus'.” “You can only be as good as you want to be. We are just tools to help you be great. To do something that you're capable of. You have inside you something great if we can help you get it out. That's why I'm here.” “We want to evoke that coffee shop—that clubhouse of people all trying to write the next great script.” About creativity: “It's always about the other thing.”

Este podcast es sobre algo que para mi es clave en el ejercicio del liderazgo y de cualquier emprendedor que quiera brindar un servicio o producto extraordinario en este mundo: pedir feedback, preguntarle a quienes nos rodean qué creen que estamos haciendo bien y qué creen que deberíamos mejorar. ¿Hay que pedirle feedback a todos? ¿Cómo hacerlo de la mejor manera? Estos fueron los principales temas del episodio: 01:13- Ejemplo del escalador 01:55- Algunos consejos para dar feedback 03:25- Consejos para recibir feedback05:40- Criterios a tener en cuenta para dar feedback06:59- Conclusiones finalesAbrazá un propósito. ¡Desafía al mundo e inspirá a otros!Recordá que si querés enviarnos tus preguntas, consultas o sugerencias podés hacerlo a podcast@emprendeconproposito.com.arTambién podés seguirnos en las otras redes:Web: emprendeconproposito.com.ar IG: @sebasosaemprende YT: Emprende con propósito Te dejo algunas ideas principales el podcast por si querés guardarte un resumen: “El feedback es el desayuno de los campeones”, como dice Ken Blanchard. Pero muchas veces el feedback es difícil de dar y difícil de recibir. Es algo que buscos practicar con Dotti y que creo que quienes trabajan a nuestro lado sienten y notan que somos de pedir feedback. ¿Alguna vez te preguntaste cómo uno sabe cómo mejorar? ¿Qué tiene que mejorar? Esta es una de las respuestas: el feedback.Una investigación de The Psychology of Optimal Experience 1990 señala que el mejor feedback es el que se da inmediato. En el libro de Henry cloud, “The power of the others” hay un capítulo que habla de este tema. En ese capítulo el autor termina por deducir que el cerebro necesita saber cómo le está yendo para adaptarse y hacerlo mejor. Algunos tips para pedir feedback: No esperar ver a alguien fracasar dar una opinión, hacerlo en el momento, mientras el emprendedor todavía puede adaptarse. Para que el feedback sea útil, tiene que ser bueno. Esa persona que te da el feedback, tiene que ser tu aliada y sobre todo debe querer que te vaya bien. Para lograr que nos den feedback hay que ser VULNERABLE, sino la gente tampoco quiere darnos su opinión. Si te hablan y no escuchás, en algún momento van a dejar de hacerlo. ¿Cómo deben ser las personas a las que les pedimos feedback? Tienen que preocuparse por nosotros, tienen que ser honestas y tienen que tener ganas de que nosotros solucionemos nuestros problemas. No deben ser hirientes en la forma en la que dan esa devolución. Como recibidores de ese feedback, debemos estar abiertos y entrenados, escuchar y asimilar lo que nos dicen para desarrollar el autocontrol que conduce a un gran crecimiento. “No podemos cambiar lo que no sabemos que necesitamos cambiar”. Según Henry Cloud, cuando recibimos feedback una dosis de adrenalina inunda nuestro cerebro, produciendo ansiedad y literalmente nos quedamos en blanco. Siempre que estamos en modo de lucha o huida, no podemos absorber comentarios y mejorar nuestro autocontrol y aprendizaje. Para aprender y crecer, tenemos que aceptar los comentarios. El cerebro necesita mucho amor, seguridad y buenos sentimientos para poder manejar las entradas negativas y usarlas. Es importante recordar esto cuando estás recibiendo comentarios, pero también es fundamental si sos vos quien los da. #feedback #devolucion #equipo #trabajoenequipo #aliados #emprenderacompañado #emprenderenequipo #elpoderdelotro #henrycloud

Guest: David Heinemeier Hansson, CTO & co-owner of 37signals and creator of Ruby on Rails 37signals CTO David Heinemeier Hansson has organized his life around his passions: Writing, racing sports cars, and coding. “ Why aren't we all doing that?” he wonders. “Why aren't we all trying to optimize our life in such a way that much of it is enjoyable?”Part of the problem, David argues, is that it's impossible to find a creative or productive flow inside of mainstream work culture. Open offices, managerial over-hiring, and sloppy scheduling prevents people from reaching a flow state.“40 hours a week is plenty than most people,” he says. “... So many people today are focused on just adding more and more hours. They're not thinking about how those hours are spent.” Chapters:(01:19) - 24 Hours of Le Mans (06:48) - Amateurs in sports car racing (10:54) - Flow and meditation (15:25) - Mundane bulls**t (18:14) - Optimizing for flow (21:09) - Calendars and open offices (24:30) - Full-time managers (29:06) - Small companies (32:20) - Selfishness and work (40:21) - Taking other people's money (45:43) - Temptation (49:49) - Moderately rich (55:19) - “The day I became a millionaire” (58:56) - The hassle (01:03:58) - Achieving the dream (01:08:34) - Shopify and Tobias Lütke (01:14:50) - Trade-offs and downsides (01:18:43) - The impact of Ruby on Rails (01:22:02) - “I love being wrong” (01:25:37) - DEI and illegal drugs (01:29:49) - Not hiring (01:30:35) - What “grit” means to David Mentioned in this episode: TikTok, Minecraft, Mario Kart, Formula One, NASCAR, Lewis Hamilton, the NBA, Tesla Model S, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Steve McQueen, Jason Fried, Tetris, Bullshit Jobs: A Theory by David Graeber, Elon Musk and Twitter, the Dunbar number, Zappos, Google, Adam Smith, Stripe, Meta, Jeff Bezos, Basecamp, Zapier, 1Password, GitHub, SpaceX, private jets, Aesop, the Pagani Zonda, the Porsche Boxster, Lamborghini, Coco Chanel, LeBron James, Hey, Steve Jobs, Michael Arrington and TechCrunch, Y Combinator, Dr. Thomas Sowell,Punished by Rewards by Alfie Kohn, Grit by Angela Duckworth, and LEGO.

Vouloir se mettre en danger pour s'augmenter, être toujours plus performant, meilleur que la veille... Cette injonction de notre époque, la journaliste Marie Misset la rejette instinctivement. Pourtant, "sortir de sa zone de confort" est un conseil qui ne cesse de résonner dans nos oreilles et qui s'est apparemment avéré bénéfique pour beaucoup, dont les témoins de cet épisode : les artistes November Ultra et Philippe Katerine, ou encore Loann, un jeune homme trans qui a grandi dans un milieu très conservateur. Que faut-il retenir de ces parcours ? Faut-il repenser ce que nous désignons comme une zone de confort ? Est-ce qu'il ne vaudrait pas mieux élargir sa base plutôt que de la fuir ? C'est ce que se demande Marie Misset dans cet épisode d'Émotions, avec les éclairages de la philosophe Gabrielle Halpern, notamment autrice de Tous centaures. Éloge de l'hybridation.Marie Misset va présenter cette nouvelle saison d'Émotions !Pour aller plus loin : Lire les Lettres à un jeune poète de Rainer Maria Rilke, qui écrit que “les dragons de notre vie sont peut-être des princesses qui attendent de nous voir beaux et courageux.”Lire, selon les conseils de Gabrielle Halpern, le Prix Nobel de littérature Élias Canetti et sa vision de la vie comme un éternel rétrécissement et le philosophe Ludwig Wittgenstein qui parle des gonds fixes pour que le porte tourneLire Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, le psychologue à l'origine de la notion de “flow”, Flow.

Call or text 988 — it's a free, confidential help line available 24/7. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and we want you to be here. You matter.By nature, humans are drawn to the edge of existence. We hear that unsettling whisper, beckoning us toward danger, and we feel tempted to tip-toe toward it. "The Call of the Void" is a strange and primal phenomenon — thoughts of self-destruction that pop in our minds seemingly out of nowhere — from the urge to jump off a great height or the sudden desire to swerve into oncoming traffic. It's ominous. But it's not as scary as you might think. Here's the paradox: The Call of the Void is not about wanting to die; it's about appreciating what it means to feel alive. These thoughts are a reminder of the pulse of life. It's a way we feel our mortality and sharpen our existence.In this episode, we walk the fine line between intuition and impulse to discover how risk-taking behaviors can be a gateway to spiritual transformation. Risky endeavors can lead us to a "flow state" where we deepen our connection to the universe, leading to peak experiences and even mystical revelations. Are we wired to crave risk as part of our spiritual journey? And what happens when we ignore that inner voice — when we let fear and self-doubt stagnate our potential? We learn from these moments on the edge, when chaos gives way to creation. You are here for a reason, and sometimes, following that gut instinct — even if it feels a little risky — is exactly how you'll feel closer to your purpose. The universe has a collective field of ideas, and if you don't act on that pull toward something extraordinary, someone else will. When the Call of the Void rings, will you take time to listen a little deeper? Or will you be left wondering what could have been?*****************************************Questions / Journal Prompts / Meditations:What's your flow state?When do you find yourself feeling captivated by other people who are in their own flow state or engaging in behaviors you might think are risky? How does watching them make you feel? Why do you think you're captivated by them? What do you want the most in life, and what risks might you need to take to achieve those goals? If you don't know you want, ask yourself what you're afraid of and explore those fears. Chances are, if you get honest about what scares you, you'll be led to revelations about what you want the most.*****************************************Episode Resources:Movie: ThelmaSong: "Heat Death (The End of Everything)" by Sophia JamesBook: "The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking)" by Katie MackBook: "Sensation Seeking: Beyond the Optimal Level of Arousal" by Marvin ZuckermanBook: "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly CsilkszentmihalyiBook: "The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious" by Carl JungBook: "Religions, Values, and Peak-Experiences" by Abraham MaslowBook: "Adventure Therapy: Theory, Research and Practice" by Gass, Gillis & RussellBook: "Chaos: Making A New Science" by James GleickArticle: "Do You Have The Adventure Gene?"Article: "The Confidence/Competence Loop"Study: "An Urge to Jump Affirms the Urge to Live"*****************************************Podcast & Host Resources:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website

Picture this: You have a good engineering job. You make decent money. Your family is fine. So, why do you feel unsatisfied with your life and career?
Welcome back to Higher Density Living. We are joined by a very special guest, Scott McCaig, the father of HDL's co-host, Alexander McCaig. The father and son share mutual affinity towards the Billy Meier case. They discuss the origins of Meier's extraterrestrial channeling in 1943, where he began receiving telepathic messages from Svath, an extraterrestrial human who mentored him for 11 years. Svath revealed to Meier that he had been significant historical figures in past lives, including Enoch, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Emmanuel, and Muhammad. In each incarnation, Meier taught the "teaching of the spirit," which encompasses various creational natural laws, including striving and neutral positive thinking. These principles were central to the evening's discussion. Adding to the conversation, the book titled “The Flow: the Psychology of Optimal Experience” by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, offers an excellent reference where the concept of optimal experience is closely tied with the teachings of the spirit discussed by Meier. The book explores the psychology of optimal experience, which resonates with Billy Meier's teachings on striving and neutral positive thinking. This resonates with the importance of wisdom. Billy Meier pioneered the revolutionary cosmic influence movement and its impacts on human consciousness, during the 1970s, a period Meier described as having heightened galactic energies. Alexander explained how our solar system's position in the Milky Way and its exposure to cosmic electromagnetic radiation could influence both our physical bodies and spiritual awareness at the time. This segued into a broader discussion on humanity's technological advancements and the lack of spiritual development to responsibly harness these technologies. They lamented how most modern inventions, driven by economic gain and power, often come with detrimental side effects, underscoring a fundamental imbalance between technological progress and spiritual maturity. The episode also touched on biblical allegories, such as the Garden of Eden and the knowledge of good and evil, paralleling the dual nature of technological advancements. Alexander emphasized that true progress requires integrating lasting, evolutive principles into our inventions, rather than pursuing quick, economically-driven developments. This concept was illustrated with examples from Meier's material, discussing historical and hypothetical uses of advanced technology, such as artificial suns and climate weapons. On the darker side of discussion, the episode touches on satanic mythology, its historical and cultural evolution of the figure known as Satan. It has reference to the origins of the word "devil," which derived from the name "Tubal," an ancient pagan hunter. Tubal, noted for wearing the skulls and horns of his hunted animals, was later transformed by the Roman Catholic Church into the devil, complete with cloven hooves and a tail, to serve as a symbol of evil and an antagonist in the church's narrative. The conversation further explored the darker side of scientific research, with references to projects like the HAARP system and earlier atmospheric experiments designed to manipulate weather patterns. They debated whether such endeavors stem from sheer human stupidity or a mix of ignorance and the pursuit of power. Alexander argued that while the intent behind such research might be power-driven, it often fails to consider the long-term, compounding effects on humanity and the environment. The dialogue transitioned to a discussion of 1 Timothy 6, one of Alexander's favorite biblical passages. This passage emphasizes that we bring nothing into the world and can take nothing out of it, aligning with the teachings of Billy Meier on the immaterial nature of the spirit form. Alexander explained that while the spirit form doesn't learn in the traditional sense, it amasses energy and wisdom through experiences, growing denser and more vibrant with positive actions and thoughts. The discussion divulges the material versus spiritual dichotomy, critiquing the human tendency to prioritize material wealth over spiritual growth. Alexander illustrated this with a hypothetical scenario of someone who spends their life building a mansion only to neglect their health and die shortly after achieving their goal. He argued that this misplaced value on material possessions stems from a lack of understanding of the more significant, timeless values that govern existence and evolution. The discussion touched on the nature of evolution, emphasizing the importance of aligning with the fundamental principles that have existed for billions of years, criticizing the modern obsession with transient values promoted on social media, by religions, or through technological advancements, arguing that these are human inventions that lack the timeless quality necessary for true alignment with nature. To underscore his point, Alexander referenced the pre-Socratic philosophy of first principles thinking, advocating for a return to the core principles of nature and existence. He emphasized that these principles, which underpin evolution, should guide our actions and values rather than the fleeting trends of contemporary society. The episode concludes with Alex reading an excerpt from his book, “The Flow”. The passage highlighted that happiness is not a result of external factors but how we interpret our experiences. This insight aligned perfectly with Alexander's argument for a deeper, more meaningful approach to life that prioritizes spiritual growth over material accumulation. As always, Higher Density Living reserves no dogma because only the truth prevails in the universe. History is judged by enlightened communities, and the Higher Density Living podcast is committed to the same cause. You are the center of the universe.

You know that feeling when you are in the zone and time seems to standstill? You're on fire, completely focused, and distractions vanish? That feeling is FLOW. In today's world with constant interruptions and demands on our attention, achieving flow can feel impossible. But what if there was a way to cultivate this state and optimize your productivity? That's where "flow as a practice" comes in. It's the art of getting in and staying in that magical flow state. We are joined today by a Flow Experience expert to help us understand what Flow is, why it's important for our joy, ways we can achieve it and more. Our guest, Arty Starr, has been a software engineer for over 20 years doing work in various areas like semiconductor factory automation, supply chain optimization, data pipeline automation and helping companies identify and solve their biggest problems with data. Today she is a recognized Flow Experience expert, researcher, speaker and thought leader, and author of the book Idea Flow: How to Measure the PAIN in Software Development. During the pandemic our guest decided to get her PhD at the University of Victoria, where she is now a researcher at CHISEL - The Computer Human Interaction & Software Engineering Lab, working with Dr. Margaret-Anne Storey. Her thesis project is developing a theory of Developer Flow, and the two cognitive processes of Momentum and Troubleshooting. She is also the founder of FlowInsight, helping developers thrive and find joy through more time in the flow state. Additionally, she is on the advisory board of CodeScene, a painter, a 2D/3D animator, and is working on a new play-based approach to learning coding and animation with a 3D character, called "Learning with Fervie". Our guest believes that we as software engineers are the magicians of this world because we can bring our dreams to life. When our guest is not finding ways to bring the invisible to the forefront, and bring joy and hope back to our work, she is spending her time outside, hangin' with the trees. Enjoy the conversation!

Owen Mahoney, CEO of Nexon, is back for another phenomenal conversation – this time on the heels of the announcement that Owen is soon stepping down from the CEO role after a decade of market-beating performance. He and host, Aaron Bush, discuss Owen's legacy at Nexon, what he wished he knew about being CEO when he started, what goes into great succession planning, and more about Nexon's next CEO, Junghun Lee. Then the duo discusses how AI-driven software is already enabling AAA games to be made with smaller creative teams (such as Embark Studios' THE FINALS) and how that shifting reality will have a profound impact on AAA publishing in the coming years. Lastly, Owen and Aaron wrap up by discussing what Owen aims to spend more time doing post-Nexon.Also, if you haven't listened to our previous conversation with Owen, which covers how Nexon manages long-lasting virtual worlds and builds antifragility into its business, you can do so here: https://naavik.co/podcast/owen-mahoney/ And here are the book recommendations Owen mentioned during our conversation:Mindstorms: Children, Computers, And Powerful Ideas: https://www.amazon.com/Mindstorms-Children-Computers-Powerful-Ideas/dp/0465046746 Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience: https://www.amazon.com/Flow-Psychology-Experience-Perennial-Classics/dp/0061339202/ Designing Games: A Guide to Engineering Experiences: https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Games-Guide-Engineering-Experiences/dp/1449337937/ We'd also like to thank Overwolf for making this episode possible!

Episode 81: Mboone Umbima, MSOD & Her Book, Reflect and Renew: A New Year Workbook This is Mboone's second visit to The Book Leads Podcast. In March of 2022, in Episode 20, Mboone shared with me the story behind the message of and vision for her book, Thank You: The 29 Day Gratitude Challenge. In this episode, Mboone shares some best practices she's developed for assessing her life at the turn of each New Year. For instance, one of her many practices is going through her phone's pictures to remember the energy of the moments throughout the year as the days went by. This process helps her tie moments to the energy she wants to keep and expand on that while recognizing the energy that serves no purpose and should be jettisoned. When it comes to her books, Thank You sought to offset the fear borne out of the uncertainty during the COVID-19 panedemic while Reflect and Renew seeks to build off that understanding of gratitude in a more strategic focus to determine what has served us and what has not in our our approach to life and work. It serves as a guide to help the reader truly, deeply, and carefully reflect. I love the energy Mboone brings to everything she does, whether it's her work in wildlife conservation through the David Rio foundation, her leadership role at David Rio Chai & Tea, Inc., or her numerous memberships across various boards she serves on in her community. She provides a reminder for us to get ourselves right -- to align our lives and work with our hearts and values -- so we can bring the best of ourselves to the world around us. It's an ongoing process to recognize and reinforce the energies we want to keep while calling out and letting go of the energies we don't. CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS How she and the family members who inspired to serve the greater good her are in the people business and making the world a better place business. How painting a vision, as Martine Luther King, Jr. did, creates permanence in which that vision can outlive the leaders who created it. Everything is energy, and it's the flow of energy that creates. Ego is about survival, not thinking. What would happen if you chose change instead of change choosing you? The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Mboone is, How do you review your life and work to determine what is working for you and what is not?

Suppose you believed that the ecological/embodied cognitive scientists of last episode had a better grasp on cognition than does our habitual position that the brain is a computer, passively perceiving the environment, then directing the body to perform steps in calculated plans. If so, technical practices like test-driven design, refactoring in response to "code smells," and the early-this-century fad for physical 3x5 cards might make more sense. I explain how. I also sketch how people might use such ideas when designing their workplace and workflow. Books I drew uponAndy Clark, Being There: Putting Brain, Body, and World Together Again, 1997Alva Noë, Action in Perception, 2005Also mentionedGary Klein, Sources of Power: How People Make Decisions, 1998I mentioned a session of the Simple Design and Test conference.The sociology book I contributed to: The Mangle in Practice: Science, Society, and Becoming, 2009, edited by Andrew Pickering and Keith Guzik. My chapter, "A Manglish Way of Working: Agile Software Development", is inexplicably available without a paywall.The MIT AI Lab Jargon FileI believe the original publication about CRC cards is Kent Beck and Ward Cunningham, "A laboratory for teaching object oriented thinking", 1989. I also believe the first book-type description was in Rebecca Wirfs-Brock et. al., Designing Object-Oriented Software, 1990. The idea of "flow" was first popularized in Mihály Csíkszentmihályi's 1990 Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience. The idea of the hedgehog and the fox was popularized by Isaiah Berlin in his 1953 book The Hedgehog and the Fox (a wikipedia link).The original developer of the Pomodoro technique describes it here. There was a book about it, but Goodreads has been sufficiently enshittified that I can't find it. Perhaps you might be interested in Reduce PTSD and Depression Symptoms in 21 Days Using the Pomodoro Method instead? Because Goodreads prefers that.The Boy Who Cried World (wikipedia)CreditsI was helped by Steve Doubleday, Ron Jeffries, and Ted M. Young. I took the picture of Dawn in the tango close embrace.

Today I feature Brian Gryn, a trainer and coach who studied with the Integrative Institute of Nutrition and focuses on helping people achieve their best. He is also the host of the Get Lean Eat Clean podcast. Gryn's book, The Step Ladder System, identifies six steps to lifelong health and vitality: 1) creating clarity; 2) creating small wins and identifying important habits; 3) activity upgrade; 4) sleep like a superhero using a simple evening routine; 5) stress management with a mindful practice; and 6) nutrition and meal timing.In this episode we discuss his love of golf, the children's book he wrote to encourage kids to embrace healthy living, why sitting for long periods is problematic and the value of movement. Many of us think we have to do a “real workout” to make fitness gains, and this can backfire when time is running short. So Brian highlights that a quick walk or micro resistance workout not only counts, but is a really important daily routine for physical and mental health. And of course we touch on the value of real, whole nutrient dense foods and creating and sticking to health affirming habits.In closing, I recommend one of my absolute favorite books, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience. I read it in college and have revisited Flow, the concept of losing oneself in a highly pleasurable experience, several times since.Hard to believe we're in Q4, right?!!

Hello my Get Uncomfortable compadre!If you're new to the show, welcome! I hope you enjoy the show today surround cultivating more intention in your day to day life. If you do find value in the show, learn something, get inspired, or laugh I ask that you share the show in some capacity. Send it to a friend, share it on social media, or email it to someone you know would enjoy it or learn from it.I have been ruminating on the idea of being more intentional in my day to day life, even in mundane tasks. How much more enjoyment or presence can I get out everyday? The answer is probably a shit load to put it bluntly. I often find myself going through the motions in many situations. Driving, eating, being at home, and exercising all fall into autopilot often. I decided to think a little more deeply on how I can make more flow states in my life through being intentional often. I plan to cultivate more intentionality purposefully in order to really get the most out of everyday. I want to be involved and open to what shows up. The book I'm reading: Flow- The Psychology of Optimal Experience breaks down a process to help facilitate turning any activity into a flow opportunity.A) To set an overall goal and as many subgoals are as realistically feasibleB) Find a way to measure progress in terms of the goals chosenC) Keep concentrating on what one is doing and keep making finer and finer distinctions in the challenges involved in the activityD) Develop the skills necessary to interact with the opportunities availableE) Keep raising the stakes if the activity becomes boringI'm planning on applying this to things I normally wouldn't think to do, even something as simple as walking.

Since launching this show in September 2015, the podcasting landscape has grown and changed tremendously. What was once a niche sandbox of independent producers pursuing passion projects has blossomed into an abundant field where it seems as though every major media property, celebrity, side hustler, and business owner decided to throw their hat (mic?) into the audio arena. Since I'm not nearly ambitious or prolific enough to share three hundred lessons learned in honor of today's major milestone, or even thirty, I thought I'd boil it down to my top three creative lessons learned in seven years of creating content in a constantly changing space. This crossover episode originally aired on the Pivot podcast on November 13, 2022. Before going any further, thank you from the bottom of my heart—this show wouldn't be nearly what it is without you here listening and sharing with friends. Thank you for listening these last seven years, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the years ahead bring us!
