  • Rahul Vohra of Superhuman: How to create business products people *enjoy* using
    Rahul Vohra of Superhuman has adopted some of the most cutting-edge approaches to making a business product people *want* to use, rather than have to use. In this episode, Mike Maples, Jr of FLOODGATE talks to Rahul about how any startup founder can apply the principles of game design to their products, and why this is becoming increasingly important in a world where users (rather than IT) increasingly decide which products win.

  • #120 Chris Bosh: Hunger and Greatness
    Knowledge Project


    Podcast Notes Key Takeaways
    • Hunger came from not having resources as other kids had what Chris Bosh wanted
      • “Now it’s about the glory, the name on the back of my jersey, it’s about me establishing who I am,” – Chris Bosh
      • It was about putting everything into the game and hoping to get something in return
    • Emulation becomes a part of you, when you stop thinking about it; you put your own spin on it
      • “The ultimate pinnacle for the athlete is to go out there and express yourself without thinking,” – Chris Bosh
    • Bosh believes that you make better decisions with snap judgments, instead of over-analyzing
    • The fundamentals are the keys to greatness
      • Many great NBA players do not get enough credit for their fundamentals
      • The reason Michael Jordan was so successful was because of his fundamentals (how he disabled other players with angles and footwork)
    • The big secret is to work now and worry later (do not look worried on the court, mid-game)
      • Evaluate what you did wrong, but only after it is all over
      • Meanwhile, keep your presence on the court
    • The days you don’t feel like it, those are the days you have to work
      • That is when the magic happens

  • 237 Creative Acts for Curious People with Stanford Design School Executive Director Sarah Stein Greenberg
    In this episode of Follow Your Different, we talk about all things creativity, innovation, and design. Our guest today is Sarah Stein Greenberg, the Executive Director of Stanford’s Design School, aka the d.school.

    She has a new book out called Creative Acts for Curious People: How to Think, Create, and Lead in Unconventional Ways. They have taken years of learning and ideas from Stanford’s Design school and put it in this awesome new book, and we get to dive in to all of it.

    Sarah shares why reflections matter so much, and also tells why metacognition is important. We dig into what it's like running one of the most well-known design schools in the world, and how design students are different today than they were in the not-so-distant past. Also, pay special attention to Sarah's ideas on weird and the role of curiosity in creativity and design.
    Sarah Stein Greenberg on Reflections and Creativity
    Sarah talks about finally being back in the physical space of Stanford campus. She describes the space that she has a space for reflection, full of writing space to record her thoughts as they come.

    When asked if reflection is really important in design, Sara shares that it plays a part in it. That it is something that should go hand-in-hand with action.

    “I think reflection is kind of the underappreciated partner of action. In a lot of cases, when people think about creativity, they think about brainstorming and exuberance, and that that spark of inspiration. But reflection, I think about it as it's like the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, those two things are, inextricably linked action and reflection. So yeah, I'm a big proponent of those quiet moments, where you're trying to make sense or really think about what might be the implications of your creative work.” = Sarah Stein Greenberg

    What? So What? Now What?
    Sarah shares about the difference between thinking and reflection. Thinking might include everything from coming up with new ideas, charting the vision, or even some parts of analysis / research. Reflection focuses more on thinking about your own process or practice, or looking back at your data more critically.

    Sarah goes on to say that reflection in particular benefits from specific scaffolding and practices, and brings up one of her favorite one: the What? / So What? / Now What?, which a few of her colleagues have originated.

    “The scaffold is called What? So what? Now What? You can kind of have a scaffolded reflection and think about, what did I just learn in that particular class or that particular project? How do I want to improve my own work? But if you use a scaffold like What, So What, and Now What, you really get into the details. You might write down everything that happened, then you might think about what did all of that mean? Why is that important? Why did that feel like what I wanted to capture? And then Now What is the opportunity to think for each of those. So what for each of those implications? What do I want to do about that? Is that something I want to practice? Is that something I want to improve?” = Sarah Stein Greenberg

    For Sarah, the quality of reflections changes dramatically if you have a detailed flow on how to approach and assess what you currently have.
    Sarah Stein Greenberg on Metacognition
    The conversation then steers into how a lot of people nowadays aren’t really thinking, or thinking about thinking. Most content or “new things” in the market are just variations of the same things that we already have, just rebranded or given a new “spin”.

    Sarah agrees with this sentiment, and also talks about metacognition, which is the technical term for “thinking about thinking”. For her, it's a skill that should be embedded in the heart of our education.

    “(Metacognition) is one of those kinds of secret skills that I firmly believe should be embed...

  • Life's 10 Biggest Decisions
    How many of your life’s ten biggest decisions have you already made?
    My guest today, psychologist Dr. Adrian Camilleri, would often ask this question to friends and family, and found that it generated a lot of interesting conversation. It also generated a lot of his own thoughts, which made him want to dive more deeply into it and empirically study it and other related questions as well. 
    The result was the Biggest Life Decisions Project, which we'll be talking about on the show today. Adrian first explains the criteria that define a big life decision, the most common ones people make, and which of these decisions people rank as being the most important. We then talk about the numbers and types of big life decisions people typically make in each decade of their lives, and how these decisions tend to be front-loaded in your twenties, but you'll still have a surprising number to make in your later years, too. Adrian shares which decisions people tend to look back on positively and are correlated with higher life satisfaction, and which tend to lead to poor outcomes and regret. We also get into the way people can both underestimate and overestimate the importance of some decisions, before ending with what Adrian has learned by working on this project about how to make good life decisions.

  • Adam Robinson & Bill Brewster — Disproving Your Thesis (EP.65)
    Infinite Loops


    Podcast Notes Key Takeaways
    • “What do I need to see to change my view? I’m always actively looking to disprove everything that I know, I’m dogmatically flexible”– Adam Robinson
      • Continually correct your errors, don’t let beliefs overpower reason in your theses
      • Embrace the possibility that you’re wrong, this leads to an ever-improving thesis
    • “Take a simple idea and take it seriously”– Adam Robinson quoting Charlie Munger
      • The best learning happens organically, immerse yourself in ideas and mental models to improve the projects you’re working on. If you try to learn a little bit of everything, you learn nothing.
    • The Shannon Limit – the amount of information our brains can take in (error-free) before tilting
      • Being conscious of the word/information capacity your brain can intake is very valuable for productive learning– everyone is different
    • Remember, Twitter language is incredibly nuanced with unsaid context
      • You and all the users share different and often hidden contexts, filter information in a valuable way for you

    Bankless


    Podcast Notes Key Takeaways
    • Price in the future today – the future is closer than you think.
    • Institutions keep looking backwards to support their investments rather than towards the future. Retail investors could be rewarded for their forward-thinking approach
      • Many industries are approaching a sweet spot in their innovation S-curve
      • ARK predicts $100 trillion dollars will be globally committed to innovation in the next 5-10 years

  • ADHD & How Anyone Can Improve Their Focus | Episode 37
    Huberman Lab


    Podcast Notes Key Takeaways
    • Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is now called Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) when it became clear there was a hyperactive component
    • Despite the stereotype, people with ADHD can be hyper-focused but only focus attention on things of interest
    • Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that underlies enjoyment and curiosity – most ADHD pharmaceuticals are stimulants with a play on the dopamine system
    • There’s a fine line between street drugs and therapeutics for ADHD: Ritalin is closely related to speed; Adderall closely resembles methamphetamine
    • Non-pharmaceutical and behavioral treatments for ADHD may be used in combination with pharmaceuticals with the potential to wean off as possible
    • While research for elimination diets has been controversial as a treatment for ADHD, it seems like avoiding simple sugars and exploring allergies to make informed food choices is worthwhile
    • Newer studies point to the idea that smartphone use is inducing ADHD in adolescence if used more than 60 minutes per day, and approximately 120 minutes per day in adults


    Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.org



    In this episode, I discuss ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder): what it is, the common myths, and the biology and psychology of ADHD.

    I discuss both behavioral and pharmacologic treatments for ADHD, and brain-machine interface tools. I also discuss behavioral training protocols that can improve focus in people with ADHD and those without ADHD, and for people of different ages. I discuss the role of dopamine in coordinating 'default-mode' and 'task-related' neural networks, attentional "blinks" (lapses of attention) and how to overcome them, and the role of actual blinks in time perception and attention. Finally, I review some of the prescription and over-the-counter compounds for increasing focus such as Adderall, Ritalin, Modafinil and Armodafinil, the racetams, Alpha-GPC and phosphatidylserine and the role of diet for managing ADHD (and the controversies of diet for ADHD).

    The role of cell phones/technology in ADHD and ADHD-like challenges with focus are also discussed. Throughout, both basic science and clinical scenarios, as well as applicable tools and resources are covered.
