    • Perfectionism

      Perfectionism
      Jan 22 2026
      SHOW NOTES: • The point is to live with imperfection. • Free of mistakes, we’re free of critique and ridicule is false • Perfectionism leads to huge stress • It’s a fictitious expectation (dining, travel, relationships, etc.) • We think it protects us, but it ruins us • It’s based on the fear of being imperfect—and human!! • Engage in vulnerable conversations and actitivies • Accept results of a task that are “OK” • My wife’s formula for long-term marriages • Perfectionism assumes control you don’t have • Why I don’t guarantee my results • Strong esteem nullifies perfectionism • Self-compassion, the same sensitivity you’d offer others • My “therapy” of trains and models • Small “chunks” of change, not mammoth ones • At extremes we have OCD • Experience rather than orchestrate • Ironically, caused by not feeling worthy or good about yourself • The critical distinction between efficacy and self-worth

    • Character

      Character
      Jan 15 2026
      SHOW NOTES: • Defined as moral and mental qualities; strengths and reputation. • It’s a matter of self-worth, or esteem, of personal dignity. • Also a matter of our willingness to help others, to have an abundance and not a scarcity mentality. • It’s a quiet confidence, not braggadocio. • It’s legitimate and earned, not bogus or borrowed. • The lessons of the Ritz-Carlton. • It’s also with whom we choose to spend our time. • It’s refusing to cheat at golf but trying to cheat in football. • There is the issue of cause and not blame. • There is innate respect for others and not envy or acrimony. • You give back the mistaken, excess change. • Entire cultures can lack character. • The ongoing struggle of politicians to remain in power undermines character. • Yet this is an age of obfuscation, of mistrust, of deep fakes and phony news. • Thinking peoples with opposing views are somehow morally inferior is reflective of poor character. • Intolerance is an absence of character. • “Character” is also about occupying a role, being performative. • Are you real, or just playing a character in your own illusion of reality?

    • Mama!!!

      Mama!!!
      Jan 8 2026
      SHOW NOTES: Did people whine as much years ago as they do now? They won't let me succeed at my job. They won't hire me anywhere else. Maybe "toxic workplaces" are caused by toxic employees? Maybe terrible bosses are just leaders expecting employees to meet deadlines and fulfill assignments? The fault is with the "Boomers" or GenX because they took advantage, they led great lives, and left nothing for us! Nothing but a healthier, safer world and the last decade of constantly improved living standards. I'm not valued! Maybe because you don't create much value and you don't make it visible. Take some accountability, and stop immersing yourself in the internet for that good old confirmation bias from other people who don't take initiative. If you're unhappy in your job, change it or leave it. There's plenty of work out there that pays well, isn't threatened by AI, but does require responsibility and ownership. But just stop whining, stop yelling for your Mama. It ain't your mother's fault.
