Insight and examples are what I bring to the table here. Most of how I communicate is through concepts. This episode includes Alex’s jingle as the intro and outro again. I might make that the regular thing. In episode 76 of the show, I discuss:

• aligning with individual who have a similar energy to you, and who you can relate with or believe in
• types of chocolate I have enjoyed eating or drinking
• talk show games and their routine nature of a sounded intro and comfortable elements
• weekly cycles that society rolls through, and “hacking culture”
• Katja’s song’s Ride The Wave and Come Thru

You have to link the parts of your life if you want to reach new levels. There are a lot of details to the networks of our thoughts and actions. Glad to have you following along the story I’m narrating. If you like the show, let others know it~

How did we get to 75? Probably 25 * 3. We are here at the 75th episode, and over half of this episode is about my mind map that I made in 2009. In it, I discuss:

• the content in the mind map that I made on MindMeister
• how you can brainstorm using one of your own
• vocabulary word groups and word roots being drawn out
• ways to organize your day or year in mind map form
• concepts about blockchain and its connection to the universe

There is a lot of cool content in this one. You can check out the mind map from the link at the beginning, and I’m glad to have you listening. Feel free to let others know about the show, and we’ll see you on the next one.

Hey all and welcome to episode 74. This one is on my text interview with Dr. Sapolsky on his book Behave that I’ve been talking about. It is 8 questions instead of my usual 5, and that’s because I got so into the material through reading and notes. In this episode, I discuss:

• marketing and how it relates to the brain development of the viewer
• being generous in an individualistic culture
• how someone can adapt to their environment that doesn’t suit them
• efficient ways to manage executive decision-making ability that you have

It was great to have this dialog with Dr. Sapolsky, and his answers were informative to me. The little nuances of answers in response to how I asked the question also teach me a lot about what I was missing or didn’t pay enough attention to.

Onward we go~

Do I get books on hold from the local library? You know it. I continue to lean in the science/nonfiction section, and got some books lately for potential reading or analyzing. In this episode, I discuss:

• Harari and his books Sapiens and Homo Deus
• things about the books that make me more likely to read them
• Designing Reality and how it has some new tech in it
• what I look for in books before I dive in

I throw in some concepts and talk at the end of the episode, and always continue the trend. As we move through the 70s, in terms of episodes, I see good smoothness. Only do what fits you, and your world becomes more suitable.

This episode was an extended one. Who knows if the new form of the show will be extended. It’s always different on here. Topics were:

• Har Ghobind Khorana being the Google Doodle for his biochemical research
• why I like scientists and people who focus on a niche future field
• continuing momentum before it disappears, with a Youtuber example
• how words represent certain time frames or generations of people

So many tangents of value in this episode. With great content like this episode, there can only be nice things to come. 70~

This one is the closer on Behave by Robert Sapolsky, which is a great book on human behavior and neuroscience. I go through content in the last chapters of it, including:

• morality and doing the right thing
• elements of human behavior in competition/cooperation
• details of empathy regarding Us/Them thinking
• metaphors and symbols that we as people live by
• the people in the trenches during war and peace

This book has been a big one for me, and finishing it was a great happening. I took complete notes on the whole book, and was able to share much of them with you here across these episodes about it. Here are direct links to the episodes about chapters 1-4, 5-8, and 9-12.

In life, you can choose to diversify like most investors would tell you do (like Kevin O’Leary from Shark Tank), or you can put all your eggs in one basket. Here is a story about the latter option.

• my applying to UCSB

• retrying after getting turned down
• the trip there to deliver additional information
• the path, the steps, the process

You can do life in your way, as long as you stick with your way. I’ll include more stories in future episodes.
