What up people it’s Armen back at it in episode 56 of the show. This one is about looking at some category of yours for the year. These could include:

• the risks you took in 2017
• the amount or quality of events you went to
• people you connected with in some memorable way
• places you went to and liked

The list goes on, but it’s a smart move to pick some things that matter to you and see how they changed in the past year. You never know what kind of trends or understanding you can get from it.

Good things to come as you know~

When you are working through your life, there is no need to ever be waiting for something. You can be patient for things, but you have to make moves. In this episode, I discuss:

• not needing to wait for anything
• making moves and then adjusting after the fact
• the focus being on your actions
• causing an impact instead of waiting for an impact

I talked about a few topics on this one, and I try to share my viewpoints along my own journey.

It’s the big 50, and you know we do it big here on The Armen Show. Little known fact is that I used to do freestyle raps that I would record every few days for years. I have raps from 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and some from 2017 (over 300 in total). In this rap I include:

• messages on self-esteem
• updates on current happenings
• lyrics with style to a certain beat
• some switches in flow and speed

The beat I rapped on here is one called “A Touch Of Gold”, by Elliote Waite, one of the people who makes beats for JeeJuh. It is one of the only ones I bought on there a few years ago. JeeJuh has some great beats that I have rapped to over the years.

Glad to have y’all on here through 50 episodes and onward we go. More raps on the way in the future.

In life, you need to have range throughout all that you do. These types of range include:

• physical range of motion through activity and stretch
• range of emotion in expression with others
• range of ability to handle wins and losses of risk
• range of understanding of different kinds of information that is available

These different types of range will make you less vulnerable to the world at large. You have to be able to manage that which is around you.

In a recent conference where Gary Vaynerchuk was answering questions, he said “People love to be romantic about their judgment in character; thus it deems them non-actionable when it most matters”. This episode is about:

• Not being attached to your past decisions or maneuvers
• Make it more about firing, or cancelling, and not about hiring
• Being adaptable over time instead of fixed in place out of weakness
• Giving weight to your own mobility, instead of to reputation management

Podcast too strong we are rolling out through December. Episode 37 on December 7. Join the train while the track is still visible~
