The Armen Show

Double 8’s in the building. I mentioned staying humble in this episode, as it was mentioned that bragging is not a thing to do often in The Elephant In The Brain. This one was mostly about podcasts that are out there, and in this episode, I discuss: some of the top and popular personal podcasts how the people running them use their abilities/strengths why I and others should stick to the strengths that we have how socializing has been a part of my life for some time now Shout outs to Live Room LA that I mentioned in this episode. A lot of realizations happen before the episodes, but some linkages are made during episodes, and what I present is a network of thoughts. Socializing can lead you to a network of people that looks like my network of thoughts.

You know books will be read, and I will happen to be one of the people who reads them. The Elephant In The Brain is the current one, and it is by Kevin Simler and Robin Hanson. It is mostly about hidden motives people have and act on. This episode is a summary of chapters 1 through 4, including: how altruism has a competitive side to it types of competition that exist between animals how signals are used to identify quality of person or mate elements of cheating and ways people do it discreetly The book reads pretty easily, and has examples from animals and the past. The actual nature of society is represented in it. This is my first book of 2018 I will be reading in full, with a follow-up interview. It was put out very recently(few weeks ago), and I like when books are relatively new. Onward we go to more reading and content.

I got some new books in and some new content to share as always. This one includes some about those books, tangents like Kaylia’s book club episode, and other variety with people. new books I got from the library after I returned Homo Deus The Elephant In The Brain, the next book I will read and interview on, by Kevin Simler and Robin Hanson also got the book Who Can You Trust? by Rachel Botsman my friend Johnny’s birthday, and some socialization(he was in episode 6) Looking forward to reading this book, and I see out the hidden motives that people present. I always see them quite directly.

This is another one of those episode where I talk fast. Time goes quickly in it, and a lot is mentioned. These episodes have a fun flair to them, but I don’t know if I will do them often. I might. In it, I discuss: being assertive with orders of food like with the haircut group messages and how they are not my style some book info as I always throw that in the concept that you have many years to go to get somewhere I was able to say a lot here, in the course of the 10 minutes or so. That is a nice feature. It takes a lot of breath, but it’s nice to share the content. 85 episodes in 85 episodes out

One past listener mentioned that you never know what you will get when you listen to The Armen Show, and he was right, for the most part. There is variety in what I put out, but there are continuous themes I am about. In this episode, I discuss: how I view much other publicly available popular content my perspective on the world and what we are on it how presenting your perspective is needed to speak your side seeing similar content across books, and recognizing authors I look to bring more value through episodes over time, and I seek to find out ways to do that and connect with other material out there. To the show being better and better.

Hey all in the world. It’s episode 83 in the building, and this is based on the hair cutting I had, as well as some music and happenings in the book world. In this episode, I discuss: my hair cut experience, and how responsiveness is good plans with upcoming books and what I am looking at different types of breads based on their sizes the music used in the intro or outro (if you heard it) I always connect real life situations to what you can take from them. Taking this information, you too can remember to look at your situations.

What are the stories that we write? What happened with the Laguna Beach show, or the other reality shows with characters from these smaller beach towns? How did they expand the view of who they were in the public eye? In this episode, I discuss: the reality shows and how they built up a story how it can be embellished or exaggerated to present a view to give people your own story, with a beginning, middle, and end thinking about what the beginning of a story of yours would be Marketing and branding has changed how we look at some people, who are, in fact, people like the others who walk by us. Perspective changing takes a lot of strategy, and some people apply it. To more understanding of the world~

9×9 is 81 and we are here. The weather is colder and we have some wind today. This episode brought out the usual networking of concepts. In it, I discussed: putting fear to the side when making moves editor John Brockman and his book I’ll be looking at soon how books come out after the hard work has already been done doing deep work that requires hours of non multi-tasking focus keeping insular about the things that matter Cal Newport wrote that book Deep Work to influence people to stick with a goal for a few hours at a time. This is a good thing. Doing heavy work is the way to be. 81 episodes in and the days fly by.

We got to another decade in the set of episodes. This one connects off of running into an old acquaintance. What an interesting world we live in. We can connect with many. In this one, I go over: connecting with people around the world as much as applicable how my acquaintance gave me some good information keeping it in the present moment not focusing on likes or views being about the people Glad to run into this individual, and he was going to a conference this weekend. The world is a fun place.

Why do we keep up a rhythm? What does it say about who we are, our consistency levels, or our ability to respond to the world at large? It is a message of sorts. In this episode, I discuss: why the show goes up every day how I have switch to 128 kbps instead of 320 kbps output a little bit about content from Homo Deus on keeping death away linear versus networking ways of communicating tone-based communication We can always throw variety into the world that we see. Should it always be structured and regular? Onward~
