From Sam Harris' Waking Up App Daily Mediation (at around 3:30 in)...an incredible lightning bolt thought from one of Sam's comments inspired a metaphor that just really blew me away. Thought I would share it. “...waves on the surface of your mind.” For this to work, that means your mind is the ocean. And well, that just opens up so many possibilities and frees you of so many fears, worries, and unnecessary attachments. A good article about meditation hesitancy . Apps: Headspace | Waking Up...

Brian McWilliams ( @BrianMcWilliams ) joins the podcast to try to figure out what is going on with the world.

Brian & I go way back as we produced the beloved and long running LA comedy show #ComedyAhoy together for more than five years. Check out his podcasts: The BOHRing Podc...

If you listened to the 3-hour Covid conspiracy theory JRE show w/ McCollough - take one more hour to learn about critical thinking and bias with a thoughtful breakdown from @ZDoggMD I honestly don't know who to trust anymore, but this seems as reasonable a thought process as I could imagine. No hidden agenda as far as I can see. Sure, YouTube followers, I guess...but if you are trying to share good information, don't you want to make sure that information reaches as many people as possible. Best...

I met Chad when he moved into the house behind mine a few years ago. We spent a lot of time hanging out, talking books, talking life, and even rung in a very weird Pandemic New Year together. He's a dynamic personality with a huge laugh which I always enjoyed hearing when he frequented #BrewingComedy shows. He's a marketing guru and an inspiring dude with a crazy bunch of life experience and stories to share. Enjoy... Listen to Chad's new podcast Project All The Way Project All The Way Website ....

reminded of the hurricane katrina failure by a recent HBO documentary, a discussion about why would we even think the government could handle a major logistics and communication project; expecations and hangover from the hope and change we thought we experienced prior to trump, bad memory, and the passage of time in a pandemic.
