We must talk again about the irreducible magic of focus

The world changing power of laser attention

The type that pros use to get 3 highly potent hours a day

So they can relax like a lion

Today I was in my software companies new office

Let me tell you...

The CEO's of this company, Verizon

ARE SO SMART

in how they implement their workers attention

First they built up a BASE of automated code that

Generates PASSIVE productivity

With Myles Treanor a neurobiologist and physical therapist.

A journey through a strange moods that comes over me from time to time, the feeling of sadness and romance in the face of the fatalistic knowledge that everything is lost.

This podcast begins with an interview. An interview of a girl who had to move to Ireland and support her family at 22 - a nice inversion of the millennial dilemma. This is followed by the first act.

Kiddo, our hero, is in conflict with Dad - much like the conflict between the millennial youth and the baby boomers. The eternal conflict between the generations. The Dad who presents a conservative path forward through life and the aspirations of the Kid, who turns to the seductive message of Machina that "you can change your destiny". Unfortunately, Machina is also the personification of Evil

This episode first covers a broad stroke of issues. Human Dignity and Storytelling. Then I dive briefly in the Town that is the setting for the first act of the story.

This episode digs into the ending of the story, the transformed hero and the end of the world
