September 27, 2022 SOM11 | The Zucks Episode + dd Peckers, Recency Bias
The Mark Zuckerberg episode. Sounds ridiculous. Is it?
Is the next phone call you receive the most important phone call? Is that update in your news feed life-changing? Is the new book the best book? That’s more than likely a no for all three questions, yet, here we are asking the Saviors for some saving. We got you!
In this Saviors of the Metaverse podcast, we talk about many topics including Jared and Zucks sitting down for dinner and trying to hash it out (it didn’t go well). We also talk about helping you stay away from recency bias. You could say a recency bias is about remembering the last thing you heard to be the truth or the most important thing. It also applies to focusing on the latest bit of information (of which there is a lot) being the most important. Avoid that! Your productivity, your mind, and your well-being will thank you. And then you can thank the saviors, but we will not accept–as we are merely here to save. And also, talk about dd Peckers. Do you know what dd Peckers is? You will soon. Just hit play on this 11th installment of Saviors of the Metaverse!
Saviors of the Metaverse, the podcast that saves and hopefully entertains, is now a standalone podcast. No, we don’t mean standing at the corner waiting for a bus that will never come. We mean standalone as this podcast has its own real estate on Apple and Spotify and the like. SOM (short for Saviors of the Metaverse) is part of the KazSource Podcast Network. So we’re not totally alone! Although Jared is terrified of loneliness, so to play it safe, give this podcast a listen.
We’re on to the 11th episode of SOM (again, short for Saviors of the Metaverse). And we’re mad!! Why? We don’t know. So let’s talk about it and create some outrage!
Welcome to the 11th episode of Saviors of the Metaverse.

September 20, 2022 SOM10 | Working From Home Is Not For Everyone!
Saviors of the Metaverse, the podcast that saves and hopefully entertains, is now a standalone podcast. No, we don’t mean standing at the corner waiting for a bus that will never come.

So we’re not totally alone! Although Jared is terrified of loneliness, so to play it safe, give this podcast a listen.
We’re on to the 10th episode of SOM (again, short for Saviors of the Metaverse). And we’re mad!! Because working from home is not for everyone!! Even if the media went for the Malcolm Gladwell headline and hit piece.
In this episode, we go from Jared’s vocal abilities to working from home to quiet quitting to the Cleveland Browns to tribalism in life and sports to TikTok to water infrastructure to the housing market — with many stops along the way!

August 23, 2022Essentials | Make Some Really Good Small Decisions First as Told by US Army Combat Veteran
There may be no better person to learn about decision-making from than a military combat veteran. In this EP Shorts episode, we talk with US Army Combat Veteran, Lance Collins.
Lance talks about how it’s important to make some really good small decisions first. This insight is surrounded by what to do with outdated intelligence, never having all of the information, life or death decisions, and helping others become better at making decisions. This work to become a better decision maker applies to someone whether they are making a decision for their country, their platoon, their life, their business, their family, or in the day-to-day.
Decisions are everywhere and they are not easy. But talking with US military veterans like Lance Collins of the United States Army certainly helps us on our path to becoming better decision-makers in all that we do. And it starts with, as Lance says, “making some really good small decisions first.”
Topics from Make Some Really Good Small Decisions First as Told by US Army Combat Veteran
– The Military Decision-Making Process: Making Better Decisions Versus Making Decisions Better

– War Books: The Art of the Decision

– Research Enhances Soldier Decision Making

– The Art of Decision Making on Psychology Today

– This podcast conversation came from the episode featuring Lance Collins on this Entrepreneur Perspectives podcast. You can listen to the entire conversation here: EP133 | Army Combat Veteran Talks Decision-Making | Lance Collins

Transcript from the segment on the therapist shortage:
Eric: There’s no shortage of news to talk about. There are a couple of things as you mention expanding your footprint, and I think of like, well that’s essential because I keep hearing these stories of lack of access to mental health professionals. A therapist shortage.
Derek: I know
Eric: A lot of it has to do with laws, healthcare laws and crossing state lines or not being able to cross state lines and you’ve heard stories of even in major cities to where one’s trying to get help and they don’t have access to someone because their mental health professional that they know or the people that they know are completely booked.
Derek: Yeah.
Eric: Even in Charlotte I’ve heard of people dealing with this but it’s all over the place when it comes to a therapist shortage. So why is that or take that down the path that you want to take that down.
Derek: Yeah, I mean, I think that the reality is, is that we have way more people seeking treatment and it started with COVID. People went through the kind of whole COVID shut down and then we had a lot of political divisiveness within the country and people struggle with that.
And then I think that more recently, we’ve got these kinds of brutal acts of violence that are happening, pretty consistently these days. And so I think that people are realizing that they need support and they need help. And so a lot of what we’re seeing is people who haven’t been to therapy before, people who haven’t seen a counselor. In addition to that, I just think that it’s becoming more talked about and more recognized — when I was a kid, there weren’t many people who would acknowledge that they had a therapist but it’s different these days and you know, kind of across the board. There are still some communities that struggle with it, as far as wanting to seek counseling. But I think that for the most part of the mainstream Americans understand that this is something that can be helpful for them and that they can kind of get that extra support. And that’s what we see. We will have somebody come in once and they’ll say I’m just going to try this one time. And they’ll even say I doubt it’s going to help or something like that and then they kind of go through the process and then they see it’s really helpful and then it just becomes a part of the way, kind of one of the resources that they use in their life to get that extra support.
The other part is, I think people who have been a support system are less capable of being support systems right now because they’re going through their own stuff. And so friends and family and people we would have leaned on in the past kind of to talk through those things, I don’t know that they have the capability of being able to support somebody else because they’re personally going through more things on their own. And so it’s very difficult for them to be a support system for somebody else when they’re trying to make sure that they’re okay.
Eric: Yeah, I never even thought of that, your community.
People, the natural connections that you would have that could actually help you out with these things.
What’s being done to make it more available? Obviously, if you have more people going to school for this, more people graduating, but that takes time, right?
That’s not an overnight fix. And there probably isn’t an overnight fix.
This is just a little bit at a time. What do you see is being done? I mean, obviously, you all are growing, but what’s being done at different levels, whether it’s the state level or federal level to make it easier to get access to somebody.
Derek: Yeah, there’s a lot of conversations about people being able, especially with things being much more virtual these days. There are a lot of conversations about reciprocity and being able to work kind of in other states.
Right now, the licensing rules are pretty strict about that, both the therapist and the person have to be in the same state where the therapist is licensed. There just was a group of, ...
