In my experience, we rarely take the time with friends and people close to us to talk about our work and the quality of that work, despite how much weight it carries in our lives. It’s much more sexy to talk about politics, exercise, the news, and other people. I dig into this topic in today’s podcast, which I hope brings you value in some way. As always, thanks for listening. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is about just how little we know. My wife frequently enriches my perspective by showing me a very different angle from which I can look at situations, which makes my understanding much more complete. I discuss what this has taught me, along with some additional reflections on the pros and cons of certainty. I hope you find this to be useful. As always, thanks for listening. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

On the way home from the gym today, I ran in the rain to get back for the last half of my trip back. So much came to me in those few minutes of life, so I wanted to digest it by sharing it here. I hope you find some value in it. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

In a recent conversation with some friends, we got into talking about what politics is and how most people think about politics. My perspective diverged significantly from what is considered the norm, so I wanted to share it here to see if it resonates with you all. I hope it does. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

I haven’t posted on social media in 13 months. As I took a long flight last weekend, I took some time to take stock of what has happened over that time span. That reflection resulted in this piece, which I share with you today, along with a request at the end. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a stream of consciousness recording. As I sit in the peace and quiet of my family’s home in upstate New York, I reflect on the things I appreciate about being here, along with the things I’ve come to appreciate more about other places. I also reflect on the beautiful relationship I’ve developed with my wife, who I dearly miss at this moment. Thank you for listening and spending this time with me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is short and sweet. We often forget about the foundation when moving through the many things life throws at us. This podcast is a reminder to recalibrate and come back to the basics, especially during our most challenging of moments. I hope this message provides value and comes at the right time for you. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast starts with some reflections on my trip home to Upstate New York after being away for nearly a year. Then, I discuss my reason for coming home and share the eulogy I wrote for my grandmother after she passed away. Thank you for listening.

My 12th quarterly review is now complete, which you can find in its totality at mattbest.net/theplatform/quarter-four-2023 . This quarter was more relaxed than quarter three, but still had a ton of learn and observe. In this ninth and final episode of my quarterly review, I talk about topics ranging from the Dunning-Krueger curve’s presence in my life to the value of allowing the mind to wander. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
