Simon Sinek says we over index on rugged individualism. After all, as he points out, there's entire sections in book stores dedicated to self help but never help others. Why is this? What affect does this mentality have on us and others? These are the questions I explore with this episode, even citing findings from Darwin to make some sense of this.

What I love about the day and age we live in is that there's so many free ways to learn the craft we love. And one of the greatest resources as I and many others like to call it is YouTube University. No, it's not an actual program. It's literally just YouTube. But with this challenge, I want you to search for subjects you're interested in learning more about and find YouTube channels that teach it. Subscribe to them and check out their videos. Learn something. There's so many wonderful teachers in all kinds of subjects. I list off a few of the ones I'm subscribed to (for reference you can also see them on my channel page). So listen, be inspired and afterwards, please feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

This year has been trying for all of us. And as we head into the holidays it could be even tougher. We want to see our friends and family but it's not the safest to do so. Because of this reality, I thought about ways to have a safe Thanksgiving yet make it still feel communal. What I came up with as a solution, after reading through CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/holidays.html) and other guidelines, is to figure out who is in your town during Thanksgiving and coordinate with them. Have each person make one dish, but make it in bulk. Then each person puts portion of their dish into containers, everyone meets up somewhere safe (like a park) and they (safely) exchange the food. So it's like a potluck except you don't eat together. Plus, everyone should plan on making more food than is necessary so a good chunk can be donated. By doing this, when you're eating your Thanksgiving meal (whether solo like me or with a few family members), you'll still feel connected with more people because you'll be eating food prepped by them. And you'll have helped those in need thanks to the donation portions. What do you think? Let me know in the comments or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Also, tag someone who you'd love to do this with. (If you're one of my friends that's staying in LA and you're interested, please hit me up so we can touch base). Happy and safe holidays!

Best-selling author and poet Mary Karr was a guest on Tim Ferriss' show (https://tim.blog/2020/11/11/mary-karr/) and she had such a brilliant piece of advice. Paraphrasing, she recounting making the choice to listen to the advice of happy people is she herself wanted to be happy. It's so simple and obvious yet so many of us push against that sound advice. Why? This is what I explore so you don't sabotage yourself and your happiness.

On a recent episode of the @goop podcast, James Nestor, a journalist and author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, explained the true power of our breath and its impact on our health (https://goop.com/the-goop-podcast/how-to-maximize-the-power-of-your-breath/). In listening to it, I realized I was breathing incorrectly at night and have since applied a simple trick he talks about. Now I sleep healthier — longer and deeper. Not only will this technique help you to during sleep, but it'll condition you to breathe correctly throughout your day (or at least I'm noticing so far).

I finished the 2nd draft of my script—In Search of Sunrise! I discuss the process and the differences from the first draft to the next. Then I talk about the next steps I'm taking. After that, I talk about writing a second novel and update you on what's happening with the first. Plus I talk about what it feels like to have a movie in the film festival circuit during Covid.

Seth Godin often talks about how we trade for outcomes. I believe this to be true and I also have seen how career decisions can force you into certain lifestyles and vice versa. Is there anything wrong with this? Not necessarily, as long as you're aware. But most times, we operate on our natural default level and that's the insidious part. With this episode, I want you to become cognizant of your choices and their outcomes so you can have more intent in building the life you want.

Last week, most of America was glued to their TVs awaiting the election results. Now a president-elect has been declared. What's next? In this episode, I reflect upon things from hopefully a different perspective than most. My aim is to ask questions, offer some ideas, but by no means do I claim to know it all. I think we all need to ponder these things as well as others in order to move forward properly. And moving forward requires action because having academic discussions about these things helps no one. In this wide ranging episode, I jump around from topic to topic, covering things like: should the state split up?, why telling people that ultimately whoever wins the election is a form of gaslighting, how for many of us discussions like this are academic when for others it can be life or death, how the term "in spirit of which this was intended" no longer holds value and we must define everything, why I think it's problematic to say PA or any other state won the election for Joe Biden, how we should strive to be for something rather than against things, the idea of the national popular vote agreement (different that the popular vote slightly), the historic role of the senate and why that's debilitating in today's day and age, a John Steinbeck quote, how activism needs to be a daily activity, how we should all hold elected officials accountable regardless of party lines and how Trump's 2017 tax cuts will affect you in 2021.

Actor Matthew McConaughey recently came out with a book called Greenlights (https://www.amazon.com/Greenlights-Matthew-McConaughey/dp/0593139135). Among many of the gems held within, he talks about being less impressed and getting more involved. Too often we look to others to solve problems as if they're somehow greater, bigger, or whatever than us. This is false. It's not to say don't have respect. But do something. This is the challenge I pose to you with this episode.
