Life in Lists of 30, Episode 26: 30 Talents I’d Learn if I were Stuck in Groundhogs Day I wrote this list in my 20s when I just wanted to show off tricks.

February 26, 2021 12:11 - 8 minutes

Life in Lists of 30, Episode 24: 30 Questions for Professionals Throughout my career, I’ve asked these questions of my mentors and myself. I think they’re revealing to how people approach their professional and personal philosophy. These might also be good interview questions. Improvements: I was able to record this one pretty quickly because my basement has radon. I wound up editing it separately upstairs from the equipment. I’ll probably need another place to work for a while. List: htt...

Ep 23: 30 Non-TV Toddler Activities

February 23, 2021 12:00 - 8 minutes

Life in Lists of 30, Episode 23: 30 Non-TV Toddler Activities It’s easy to just get lazy and plop the kiddo in front of a TV. I’m trying to enjoy the process and promote as much independence and daydreaming as possible. At my recent beer club discussion, there was a Dad who interviewed a new babysitter. She didn’t use her phone at all because her parents were so obsessed while she was growing up. I’d love to have this as an etiquette and habit for the new generation. Improvement: Bought my...

Life in Lists of 30, Episode 20: 30 Things I Suck At I admittedly suck at a lot of things. Probably more than 30.

Ep 17: 30 Ways to Disconnect

February 02, 2021 12:01 - 6 minutes

Life in Lists of 30, Episode 17: 30 Ways to Disconnect It’s hard to be disconnected from your phone since it’s the only window to a social life during this pandemic. It’s also healthy to take a break and try to be more present. Oddly, watching some Netflix without looking at your phone might be healthier. Improved speed of recording. Starting to think about the next 30 episodes now that I’m more than halfway done with the original challenge. All posts are scheduled out to March. List: htt...

January 23, 2021 00:00 - 9 minutes

Life in Lists of 30, Episode 14: 30 Ways to Evaluate News Reading news should be approached with context and skepticism. To stay informed, but not swayed by bias pieces, I try to read between the lines and sample multiple sources. A well researched late piece is better than the FUD and emotional rollercoaster of tweets. Improvement: Tried publishing at 5PM instead of 5AM. It was a good idea to switch the schedule so I can focus on writing new material. I think I’ve gotten more confident in...

January 13, 2021 12:00 - 9 minutes

Life in Lists of 30, Episode 11: 30 Names for this Era Wrote this back in April 2020, but I think it’s still relevant. The names suggested could be headers or chapters in a history textbook.

I also got a mic stand that you can see on the YouTube recording. List: https://www.listsof30.com/p/30-names-for-this-era My Life in Lists of 30 - Free P...

Ep 6: 30 Questions I'd Ask my Future Self

January 02, 2021 12:00 - 8 minutes

Life in Lists of 30, Episode 6: 30 Questions I’d Ask my Future Self I asked myself these questions back in Nov 2014, but I don’t think any of the answers I give for my younger self would have changed my path. Maybe I’d buy more stocks in $TSLA and buy more Bitcoin. Less focus on improvements and more on recording ahead of time so I can keep the M/W/F cadence while I work full time. I’m able to do a full episode from recording to editing within 45 minutes, so I guess that’s an improvement. ...
