Well crew, it’s been 50 Episodes. It has been a fun ride, and it isn’t close to over yet. Spreading positivity and life experiences one chat at a time, today is a chill look back at how far we’ve come and how our collective, compounded experiences have made us better podcast hosts and people. True success is never immediate - it’s a slow, never-ending marathon. Relish the journey, not the destination!

The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy 

DISCLAIMER: This episode touches upon a more uncomfortable topic: losing a loved one. The sadness and emotional aftermath that it comes with are natural parts of our lives; however if any of these things would make you uncomfortable or upset, listen at your own discretion.

With life comes death. That’s just how it is and it sucks. We know it sucks. You know it sucks. But when coming face to face with this reality, we must be strong, compassionate and understanding. Every person coming and going in our lives has a meaningful role to play, including you! Take a moment today and tell a loved one how you feel about them - there’s never a wrong time.

Believe it or not, all of life can be explained in games. Whether you’re traveling to the grocery store, training for that next big event, or merely building a useful tool - it all comes down to your personal benefit, whether it be best-friend co-op or at your worst enemy’s expense. The real question is, how to play the game of all games? What even is its name? Well, ready or not, Let’s Play. 

When life gives you lemonade, make lemons. In the world of the improbable, we fight on to see things to the end. Our newest guest, Nic, decides to challenge our worldviews with the idea that math is flawed. With everyone’s favorite subject being called out, can the crew keep our minds from being blown? Let’s Stay Positive and find out.


Math Has a Fatal Flaw:

Why do human beings do what we do? On the same note, why do machines do what they do? What does it mean to be a conscious being? What does it mean to have a soul? We ~attempted~ to find the answers, but ultimately these are discussions that may last a lifetime.

P.S. Pete was right, Alex was wrong, it is called ternary, not trinary. (You can say ternary computer OR trinary computer though). Pete does not have to lose all his life savings. Be sure to check out the “Person of Interest” TV show.

Just like people, nations are not perfect and deducing where things go wrong can prove to be difficult. Where do you look, what do you need to analyze and how far must one trickle down this rabbit hole to find a solution worth anything? The crew attempts to find out!

You would think loving oneself would be pretty easy. Honestly it should be, but sometimes that’s not the case. In this episode, Alex and Pete reminisce about their past and talk about the power, importance and impact of self love. Be safe, try your best, forgive yourself, and Stay Positive!

And drink water.

It has been a while since the crew was back together in one place. Pete returns from his college escapades while Alex pursues even more of his own. Ad Revenue, Nazi soda and the ambiguity of true justice are the topics of this dialogue. Enjoy!
