The Armen Show

How did we get to 75? Probably 25 * 3. We are here at the 75th episode, and over half of this episode is about my mind map that I made in 2009. In it, I discuss: the content in the mind map that I made on MindMeister how you can brainstorm using one of your own vocabulary word groups and word roots being drawn out ways to organize your day or year in mind map form concepts about blockchain and its connection to the universe There is a lot of cool content in this one. You can check out the mind map from the link at the beginning, and I’m glad to have you listening. Feel free to let others know about the show, and we’ll see you on the next one.

Hey all and welcome to episode 74. This one is on my text interview with Dr. Sapolsky on his book Behave that I’ve been talking about. It is 8 questions instead of my usual 5, and that’s because I got so into the material through reading and notes. In this episode, I discuss: marketing and how it relates to the brain development of the viewer being generous in an individualistic culture how someone can adapt to their environment that doesn’t suit them efficient ways to manage executive decision-making ability that you have It was great to have this dialog with Dr. Sapolsky, and his answers were informative to me. The little nuances of answers in response to how I asked the question also teach me a lot about what I was missing or didn’t pay enough attention to. Onward we go~

Do I get books on hold from the local library? You know it. I continue to lean in the science/nonfiction section, and got some books lately for potential reading or analyzing. In this episode, I discuss: Harari and his books Sapiens and Homo Deus things about the books that make me more likely to read them Designing Reality and how it has some new tech in it what I look for in books before I dive in I throw in some concepts and talk at the end of the episode, and always continue the trend. As we move through the 70s, in terms of episodes, I see good smoothness. Only do what fits you, and your world becomes more suitable.

We are back in the place with episode 72 of the show, and on this one we also have a guest. Our guest is Jane, and there is a lot of material described on this episode, mostly about the proposed expansion of the Grayson power plant in Glendale. Included is discussion about: why the Grayson power plant expansion plan in Glendale should be paused in search of alternatives the impacts that expansion can have on local air quality how a coalition formed to oppose the plan local power plant information and history regarding costs and profits getting involved in your local city council some discussion on life and books in the category of child development In relation to the Grayson power plant issue, you can either check out the website Jane had mentioned (stopgrayson.com), take part in the City Council meeting January 23rd at Glendale City Hall at 6 PM wearing a green shirt(if you are local), or check out the Facebook group. To more great material~

We roll back in here with guest Felipe. He is the 14th guest on the show, and makes his way to episode 71. We talked about many topics on this episode, and it was a cool time in Koreatown. Discussed included: the elements that bring value of production to an economy how those elements can be manipulated by those running the system the type of activism that Felipe leans toward little interludes about blockchain and crypto I threw in concepts about monetary bubbles and how they can be prepared for 2018 goals that Felipe as well as I have Great episode to have, and Felipe is a solid individual. This is another one of the longer ones, but maybe this will be the new length for episodes. There is no predictability to the show~. On we go.

This episode was an extended one. Who knows if the new form of the show will be extended. It’s always different on here. Topics were: Har Ghobind Khorana being the Google Doodle for his biochemical research why I like scientists and people who focus on a niche future field continuing momentum before it disappears, with a Youtuber example how words represent certain time frames or generations of people So many tangents of value in this episode. With great content like this episode, there can only be nice things to come. 70~

Yesterday was the Golden Globes, and so I created my own thing there. In this episode, I discuss: the energy on the street around the Golden Globes making something from nothing doing what fits you in public environments the rain happening in Los Angeles Long live the rain, and may we continue to flourish.

We are back at episode 68 in the building, and this one involves a trip to the South Coast Botanic Garden in Palos Verdes. In the episode, I discuss: some of the details about the gardens flowers in there, and their smell and colors why you should explore your local region as applicable moving around near or far The way to the future is steps from the present.

Long ago, I would play video and computer games, and so I tossed in this story from the past with my friend Ze. Included in this episode are: the story about time with Ze and playing video games the ability to walk places discussion about cities and their walkability a message about fearlessness in relation to success Every day there are new things, and I put out new material. There is also the past, which we are somewhat connected to.

Hey all. I threw in some stories in this episode, because I don’t include enough of them. On episode 66, I discuss: a Long Beach house party that I went to a coffee shop named Intelligentsia where I go regularly how I met Willow there and saw her a few times my attitude of recording in DTLA That is a couple of stories that I have included here, and I will have more on the way. Also, a text interview should be coming this month, and Ryan may be a near future guest on the show. Keep it flowing.
