Reflection

Written By Myke Hurley 2012-05-15T09:00:00Z

In this episode, Myke and I discuss the nature of reflection (self and otherwise). The idea that reflection is as much looking at the present and planning for the future as it is thinking about the past. By taking the time to reflect on where we are, we can better see where it is we want to be. Reflection is often about evaluating the now against the then. By reflecting on where we were, we can easily see if we have grown beyond. That, perhaps, all of these tweets, status updates, etc. are opportunities for such reflection.

    Marathon

    Written By Myke Hurley 2012-05-10T07:00:00Z

    In this longer than normal episode, Myke and I are joined by the lovely Sami Furse to talk about running, preparing for a physical challenge, setting goals, embracing the suck, and why your mind matters. All of this is discussed under the context of marathons but the ideas are applicable everywhere.

          From Nobody to Peabody

          Written By Myke Hurley 2012-05-01T03:00:00Z

          In this rambling episode, Myke and I talk a bit about his trip to Memphis, some of my travel experiences, and the emotional baggage of houses. I also recount an amazing experience I had not too long ago at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis. It taught me an important business lesson — how to gain a customer for life.

            I Have To Run

            Written By Myke Hurley 2012-04-26T03:00:00Z

            In this episode, I talk to Myke about my training and running regimen as of late. Ive been training for something really kind of crazy. Perhaps the hardest physical test of my life. It should surprise no one that I try to take an "enough" approach to this as well. No fancy gym memberships for me. No fancy diet. I have been trying to fit it into my life wherever I can and take a balanced approach to my eating.

            Also, please forgive the noise. There was a crew outside working on the sewer as we recorded this.

                In this episode, Myke and I discuss a recent post I wrote about a conversation I had during the first leg of a flight to Washington DC. I had a conversation that I will never forget. In it, I learned an insight into life and work that resonated deeply with me and I hope it will for you too.

                  Today is the final episode of a walk through what’s on our iPhones. The first couple, covering our main home screen and second screens, were a rousing success with the listeners. Hopefully this will be as well.

                    In this episode, based on a listener request, we talk about reasoned approaches to keeping your data to a minimum. At least, that’s how we start out until it is revealed that there are a couple of areas where I could really be doing better in the regard.

                    As I’ve said before, folks, I’m no guru and have plenty of areas where I struggle with this stuff.
