Enough - The Podcast: Recent Episodes

On the final episode of Enough, Patrick and Myke talk about positivity and then say goodbye to the show.

In this episode, Myke discusses the upcoming change in his “day job”. He was a bank manager and is now moving into marketing. This change was helped by his work with 70Decibels. We discuss idea that many of the things that we do “on the side” have ripple effects on other things in our lives. Both positive and negative. We also discuss that sometimes, the goals we set for where we want to be take years to work towards and achieve.

In this episode, I am once again joined by Mr. Stephen Hackett of 512 Pixels while Myke is on a super secret mission for MI6. In this episode, I discuss the case to be made for not always upgrading to the latest, greatest, new thing. That, perhaps, if there is no compelling reason to do so then one may want to consider just keeping what is already working well enough for them.

In this episode, based on a listener request, Myke and I discuss what apps and practices I use to to determine where my iPad fits into “enough”. For the record, I still have an original iPad (WiFi, 64gb) and it is still enough for me. Myke takes a different, yet similar, approach by describing where his new Nexus 7 fits in for him.

In this episode, I discuss two loosely related thoughts. One I mention briefly, up front, the other, I dive deep on…
Thought number one is about the many new virtual places we now have to mark an area of first contact. I suppose one day, many years from now, we’ll be able to say, “I’ve known her since Twitter” and have that impart the same sort of immediate understanding of length and importance as high school does?
Thought number two is actually a “capture hack” I have used for some time. One of my favorite exercises is one I have come to call “What’s Broken?”. I go from room to room in my house and ask this simple question and write it down. The thought is this, what if we extended this idea to everything in our lives? Jobs, relationships, social networks — everything. Could it be a good tool to effect change?

In this episode, Myke and I discuss the idea that perfection is where amateurs stop. That pros keep pushing to the point of failure, because that’s where the learning starts and the task becomes natural. We also try a new recording technique for the next few episodes due to some changes being made at 70db HQ. Therefore, Myke sounds great and I sound like Lady Gaga.

Episode 136 — Superheroes
In this episode, we talk about the idea that we are all superheroes. That all of us, sometimes many times a day, push ourselves past our self-imposed limits, struggles, difficulties, and fears and become better than our internal dialog often tells us we are. When the task or time calls for it, we step into the booth as a person incapable and step out the other side as another doing things we never dreamed we could.

In this episode, Myke and I discuss the nature of reflection (self and otherwise). The idea that reflection is as much looking at the present and planning for the future as it is thinking about the past. By taking the time to reflect on where we are, we can better see where it is we want to be. Reflection is often about evaluating the now against the then. By reflecting on where we were, we can easily see if we have grown beyond. That, perhaps, all of these tweets, status updates, etc. are opportunities for such reflection.

In this episode, I talk to Myke about my training and running regimen as of late. Ive been training for something really kind of crazy. Perhaps the hardest physical test of my life. It should surprise no one that I try to take an “enough” approach to this as well. No fancy gym memberships for me. No fancy diet. I have been trying to fit it into my life wherever I can and take a balanced approach to my eating.
Also, please forgive the noise. There was a crew outside working on the sewer as we recorded this.

In this episode, based on a listener request, we talk about reasoned approaches to keeping your data to a minimum. At least, that’s how we start out until it is revealed that there are a couple of areas where I could really be doing better in the regard.
As I’ve said before, folks, I’m no guru and have plenty of areas where I struggle with this stuff.
