The Armen Show

I have not watched many shows on television or the internet in my lifetime, but I have watched a few. This episode is meant to go over some of them. It’s episode 89, and we are here in the land of internet.

The tech show I mentioned called Diggnation was not bad, run by Kevin Rose and his sidekick Alex Albrecht, and had some good info on the technology and services of the day. Different shows have different purposes. Hope you enjoyed some info on my past show viewing.

Double 8’s in the building. I mentioned staying humble in this episode, as it was mentioned that bragging is not a thing to do often in The Elephant In The Brain. This one was mostly about podcasts that are out there, and in this episode, I discuss:

Shout outs to Live Room LA that I mentioned in this episode. A lot of realizations happen before the episodes, but some linkages are made during episodes, and what I present is a network of thoughts. Socializing can lead you to a network of people that looks like my network of thoughts.

You know books will be read, and I will happen to be one of the people who reads them. The Elephant In The Brain is the current one, and it is by Kevin Simler and Robin Hanson. It is mostly about hidden motives people have and act on. This episode is a summary of chapters 1 through 4, including:

The book reads pretty easily, and has examples from animals and the past. The actual nature of society is represented in it. This is my first book of 2018 I will be reading in full, with a follow-up interview. It was put out very recently(few weeks ago), and I like when books are relatively new. Onward we go to more reading and content.

I got some new books in and some new content to share as always. This one includes some about those books, tangents like Kaylia’s book club episode, and other variety with people.

Looking forward to reading this book, and I see out the hidden motives that people present. I always see them quite directly.

This is another one of those episode where I talk fast. Time goes quickly in it, and a lot is mentioned. These episodes have a fun flair to them, but I don’t know if I will do them often. I might. In it, I discuss:

I was able to say a lot here, in the course of the 10 minutes or so. That is a nice feature. It takes a lot of breath, but it’s nice to share the content. 85 episodes in 85 episodes out

One past listener mentioned that you never know what you will get when you listen to The Armen Show, and he was right, for the most part. There is variety in what I put out, but there are continuous themes I am about. In this episode, I discuss:

I look to bring more value through episodes over time, and I seek to find out ways to do that and connect with other material out there. To the show being better and better.

Hey all in the world. It’s episode 83 in the building, and this is based on the hair cutting I had, as well as some music and happenings in the book world. In this episode, I discuss:

I always connect real life situations to what you can take from them. Taking this information, you too can remember to look at your situations.

What are the stories that we write? What happened with the Laguna Beach show, or the other reality shows with characters from these smaller beach towns? How did they expand the view of who they were in the public eye? In this episode, I discuss:

Marketing and branding has changed how we look at some people, who are, in fact, people like the others who walk by us. Perspective changing takes a lot of strategy, and some people apply it. To more understanding of the world~

9×9 is 81 and we are here. The weather is colder and we have some wind today. This episode brought out the usual networking of concepts. In it, I discussed:

Cal Newport wrote that book Deep Work to influence people to stick with a goal for a few hours at a time. This is a good thing. Doing heavy work is the way to be. 81 episodes in and the days fly by.

We got to another decade in the set of episodes. This one connects off of running into an old acquaintance. What an interesting world we live in. We can connect with many. In this one, I go over:

Glad to run into this individual, and he was going to a conference this weekend. The world is a fun place.
