      • A reminder to make time for yourself. For me, that’s been waking up 20-30m early (when I can convince myself to do so!) and reading while drinking my coffee instead of being on my phone or computer right after waking up. Taking a moment to breathe & start the day off right.

          • Jesse Davis

          • As an outdoor enthusiast and a father of 3 boys, I’ve recently become fascinated with the idea of Nature Deficit Disorder. The idea that as our society becomes more connected we lose touch with those things that we need most of all: fresh air, peace and quiet, and uninterrupted connection with other humans in a natural setting. I’m working on ways to build that within my tightest community, my wife and kids, by doing more hiking, fishing, and campfire time.

                    • Moving Day: how to change jobs with grace (Ep 39)

                      What happens when you change jobs and have to move from one community to another?

                      When it’s time to look for a new job… do you stick with the same community? Or do you seek out a change of some type?

                      Are there companies or brands that you can’t see yourself ever working for?

                      Listen in as Jason and PJ chat with guests Alyss Noland and Joel Lord on these topics and more.

                              • Conference Season - Is it a thing? (Ep 38)

                                "Conference Season" used to be a definitive time of year -- the time when things were chaotic and everything revolved around travel, talks, sponsorships, and schedules. But these days it seems like the whole year is chock-full of conferences, big and small. So how can we help build an event strategy that's sustainable, not only for our team, but for our budgets? Amanda Gonser, Manager of Community Events and Content at PagerDuty, and Matt Auerbach, Event Director at Twitch and Co-founder of Confir, join Mary, PJ, and Jason to talk about all of these topics and more.
