In this episode, I go over: The end of year video I am likely making for Youtube A shortened version will be for Instagram Updates on book reading and an upcoming chapter Drinking water We all have something to bring to the table. If you have that, bring it out there. Glad to have you on The Armen Show team.

In a recent conference where Gary Vaynerchuk was answering questions, he said “People love to be romantic about their judgment in character; thus it deems them non-actionable when it most matters”. This episode is about: Not being attached to your past decisions or maneuvers Make it more about firing, or cancelling, and not about hiring Being adaptable over time instead of fixed in place out of weakness Giving weight to your own mobility, instead of to reputation management Podcast too strong we are rolling out through December. Episode 37 on December 7. Join the train while the track is still visible~

How do he do it? 16 episodes in 16 days with episode 36 on December 6. In this one, I talk about: the power of story to connect with people how you can set focus on what you can do instead of missed opportunities commentary on potential future podcast discussion We are on the podcast train and it is zooming out to space.

Fires happen in Southern California, or near Los Angeles, and a few are currently burning away. This prompted me to do this episode on how to manage during such instances, and those of earthquakes and other disasters, and to think about them in advance. Couple of fires going on right now (Thomas Fire and Creek Fire) Understanding the elements that take place in the area you live in Keeping in mind what is valuable for you to take or leave Organizing your possessions at all times so you are aware of what you have Aside from this content, I hope all of you are doing smoothly, and will continue with book and related content in the near future. Shout outs to the firefighters who battle against fires, stopping them at tops of mountains or before they get to housing regions.

We are back at it with some Sapolsky for you. This is a summary of chapters 9 through 12 in his book “Behave”, and I took in-depth notes on these chapters regarding human behavior. Some of the topics in this episode are: collectivist versus individualist cultures and their different thinking how culture impacts action how behavior evolved in terms of kin selection and pairing to family and extended family us versus them thinking, and how Others are viewed by Us groups levels of hierarchy in society and how noted they are by all animals, but especially people This book is packed with information. The next episode that includes content on it will be on chapters 13 through 17(which is the last chapter), and then I will do a recap.

33 in the building~. In this episode, I wanted to discuss two places I went to, and an update to an online profile of mine. the plants at The Arboretum in Arcadia, Los Angeles flower and plants and what is cool the Festival of Lights in Riverside, and all its various features how I switched back to my old Goodreads profile and updated it We keep it moving here at The Armen Show. The next episode will return to “Behave” discussion, with a summary of chapters 9 through 12. See you then.

World Cup 2018 is coming next year, and the draw for the team groups happened. They are 8 groups of 4 countries each. In this episode, I discussed: the countries involved in the groups stories I knew of that related to the countries things about soccer as a sport my guesses on who would win each group Onward to great soccer and competition mid-2018. Also, I’d like to point out that there are 32 teams in the World Cup, and this was episode 32 of The Armen Show~

This episode is discussion about life concepts presented by Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) in his discussion with Dean Baquet of The New York Times, as seen/heard in this Youtube video. This video/audio had concepts about people, vulnerability, truth, fear, pain, compassion, helping, challenging, having a dialogue, and more. All the times links are to that time in the video, so you can hear him talk about the concepts himself if so desired. 2:57 – goal to live life through your abilities, not to be successful/famous 9:31 – having a dialog about a thing is necessary, it happened regardless of if talked about or not (what you reveal you heal) 11:15 – Jay-Z doesn’t feel racism until when he challenges the status quo – life shows its cards when you challenge it 12:46 – everything is connected 13:37 – people on streets asking “what you lookin’ at” because caused fight because person being seen in pain and responding like “oh you see me” 19:11 – “I love people” “I want what’s best for people” “without people being rich would be very boring” “then what do you do” 20:20 – strongest thing person can do is be vulnerable with their feelings, not guarded 21:30 – can’t expose all truths until people around are ready, and they have their truths too 25:04 – it’s not about being in the white hot space, it’s really small, but it’s about finding the truth, it’s about the forever 27:16 – obligation to further the conversation, it’s okay to be smart 29:44 – you don’t turn your back on the community that uplifted you or your time is out 32:35 – Kanye is a compassionate person – a lot of times you get in trouble trying to help others 34:12 – the best place is right in the middle of the pain, and it’s uncomfortable, most people don’t want to look inside themselves, and so they walk away I always enjoy conceptual discussion and understanding. If depth is there, I am usually there. Hope you enjoyed episode 31.
