    What Connects Andy Reid to Bruce Lee? (#303, 16 Apr. 2025)

    Two words, "Don't Judge". Could an entire philosophy arise from two words? This episode explores the connection between Andy Reid's success and those two words. I thought about those words after rereading Shannon Lee book about her father's philosophy in her book, Be Water, My Friend. She outlined the Parable of the Empty Cup, a story that Lee frequently used to illustrate the power of keeping an open mind and being open to the unexpected. As I read that parable, two words came to mind, "Don't Judge", a two word philosophy that Andy Reid uses to guide his approach to coaching and teaching. This episode explores the synchronistic philosophy connecting these two amazing men.

    Becoming Iron John by Robert Bly (#302, 15 Apr. 2025)

    Just finished Iron John - A Book about Men by Robert Bly. It's book for men of all ages. Every man and woman should read it. Men need to read it to uncover what it means to be a man. Women need to read it to understand the men in their lives: fathers, sons, brothers, and spouses. Bly explores Deep Masculinity through legend of Iron John, a story from the Brothers Grimm. In this episode, I share how I learned about Robert Bly, and why I read it. I also share a passage on Law to Legends. This is the book that you have to read and reread. I... Absolutely... Loved... It!! Bly has left us countless and timeless pieces of wisdom and a whole host of authors to explore. This should be on every man's shelf.

    "The!" - The Downside of Excessive Simplicity (#300, 25 Mar. 2025)

    This entire episode is about "The!" , the downside of excessive simplicity. Instead, we should strive for Goldilocks Complexity, the minimal number of steps to achieve a particular result. I started thinking about this topic after reading Ben Guttman's excellent book Simply Put - Why Clear Messages Win and How to Design Them. I loved this book. It is right up there with James Clear's book Atomic Habits. But... simplicity has a downside. In this episode, I explore optimal simplicity, identify too much simplicity and too much complexity. Goldilocks Complexity. This is a quadratic formula: y=−ax2+bx In this episode, I explore The Brutalist, Iowa Football Coach Kirk Ferentz, Bears Coach Ben Johnson, and simplicity optimization.

    True/False: A Method (#299, 14 Mar. 2025)

    If you think about it, nearly our entirely education is predicated about discerning what's true and what's false. I started thinking about this with the uptick in "conspiracy theories" and their relation to the pending release of JFK, RFK and MLK files. As I have followed those stories, the question arose: Does this even really matter to me? We need to marshal our energies to focus our true/false journeys. We only have so much time, energy and resources. This episode is about an approach to focus and optimate our true/false journeys. I know it sounds boring, but for whatever reason, this question fascinates me. In fact, I think its key to become the best version of you.

    Murder or Suicide? - A Bayesian Approach to the Jeffrey Epstein Case (#298, 12 Mar. 2025)

    Did Jeffrey Epstein die by murder or suicide? In this episode, I argue that we should use Bayesian statistics to frame the debate. Indeed, we should use this approach to frame most "conspiracy theories". Most such theories are derided as compelling storytellers weaving half truths to fit their narrative. Bayes offers a more analytical approach. 1. Make an educated guess about the probability of an event occurring. The likelihood of Epstein dying by suicide. 2. Identify authenticated clues that support that hypothesis. 3. Assess the odds of each clue happening independently, i.e. jail cameras not working, hyoid bone being broken, both guards falling asleep. 4. Then calculate odds of those happening together. 5. Perform calculation and then update original probability estimate based upon the probability those clues happening. Using Bayes with a "little" help from Grok, I identify the odds of murder versus suicide. I also identify ways that you should attack this analysis and not just my use of Grok. This approach should be used more frequently as we try to resolve debates surrounding "conspiracies". I don't even really like that word. We're really trying to assess whether Event x was caused by y or z.

    Trump: A Jungian Power Analysis (#297, 7 Mar. 2025)

    This episode explores the power of Donald Trump through Jungian analysis. Jung best illustrates the mysterious power of Trump.Granted I doubt Trump has ever read Jung, but he manifests the hero/lion archetype perfectly. He is our modern Aslan, the Lion King. He also trusts the power of his own instincts tapping the collective subconscious of all.

    Is a Liberal Arts Degree Worth It? (#296, 7 Mar. 2025)

    Yes! It is, but under certain circumstances it is not. This episode explores the power of the liberal arts under the right conditions and those circumstances where it would not be worth it. We'll explore differential sibling outcomes, the limitations of awareness versus applying, micro-versus macro, offering a solution versus doing it, the limitations of "practical", Robert Noyce (inventor of microchip), and the virtues of a deep dive after an exploration of multiple areas. If you have a young person exploring liberal arts, this is the episode for you.
