Dropping the Denominator – Epi-3749
Have you ever heard the phrase, “the lowest common denominator”. While this is an actual mathematical principle it has also become a colloquialism meaning to cater to the lowest preforming member of a given group. Today that group is the people of the United States and the performance metrics are basic intelligence, critical thinking and the ability to use logic and reason. In essence a better title for this show may be “lowering the common denominator” with the sub title of “the dumbing down of America”, but I simply feel dropping the denominator sounds better and requires more thought, and … Continue reading →

Living in Your Circle of Control – Epi-3746
So much is going on right now that the world feels like it is melting down in front of us. No matter what anyone says or does inflation is like a plague on society. Food is more expensive than anyone can remember. The political tribalism is at a fevered pitch with both sides in full denial of reality. The universities continue to churn out people with degrees that can’t actually do anything. Jobs are being eliminated with automation and outsourcing. We have war being normalized again, like it’s just another line item on the news scroll. The media keeps feeding … Continue reading →

Your Job Isn’t the Problem, You Are – 3742
Today we dig into what I see as the four types of jobs, and why understanding them matters a hell of a lot more than most people think. Every job you’ve ever had, or ever will have, fits into one of these categories. I don’t care if you’re stocking shelves at midnight, closing seven-figure deals, or launching your own company. There’s a reason you’re doing it, and knowing that reason tells you whether you’re stuck, moving forward, or spinning your wheels. These four classes aren’t about ego, degrees, or corporate ladders. They’re about clarity. Class One jobs keep the lights … Continue reading →
