Episode notes

The idea of mindfulness is the idea here. There's like, if you actually watch your mind, you'll see two things. One, you don't even control what goes in there. The analogy I reference with the Sam Harris, or the one he uses often is like, just listen. Listen, softly for a minute, you'll just hear random sounds. But Blout is probably hearing police sounds right now. He's always got police sounds, but here's the point. He can't stop from hearing that, right? You know what I mean?

The NIA boys discuss the ideas that have changed their lives the most, from mindfulness to the value of time to antigoals.
