The day started ho-hum, so-so. Nothing all that interesting and the kind of day that lacked inspiration. That was until I found a random moment of nonsense. A moment where I just went ahead and embraced the ridiculous and it changed my whole day. Now it's your turn.

Something new, my 15-year-old daughter (child) agreed to sit down and talk on the podcast with me about what the world looks like through the eyes of a teenager right now. What's the biggest problem the world faces right now? What's the one thing that should change and what she is looking forward to doing in the future. Good stuff.

This started a little rocky, not gonna lie. I had no idea where the hell I was going at first. It turned out though, that barely 30 minutes before I started recording this, all the inspiration I needed had just happened and someone I assumed was one type of person had suddenly proved me very wrong.

Through my own unverified and admittedly unscientific methods I have in the course of my life, come to understand that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. It's true and no matter what it is that you're trying to do, your best chance at success lies with building positive habits for yourself. Or in some cases, breaking old negative or self-destructive habits that hold you back. Trust me, I'm not a scientist.

People are on my mind today and specifically people who just can't seem to find empathy for others. In this episode, I'm exploring why people struggle to look beyond themselves and their own problems. I think I might have stumbled on a very important reason.

I finally got through to a good friend who has been on the fence about getting into content creation and a chance email string seems to have done the trick. It took a lot of confidence and one great big leap of faith for him to drop his defenses, abandon all pretense of his doubt and self-deprecation, and just go for it. The trade-off is that I had to give up the ghost on telling him the name of, and where to listen to this podcast. So now the question is, what now?

As an aside I was referred to a podcast today called Beautiful Anonymous, you should check that out. The topic of the day though, is how often people are getting it wrong in this Zoom Call, Webcam world we now live in. From political pundits "Tubin-ing" themselves during work meetings to parents forgetting to put clothes on while their kid is in a Zoom Class, frankly I think we're doomed.

I guess maybe this is like a half-time, time-out on Season 2 here for just a second. My basic premise of talking about something I found interesting that day kind of failed today. So what I do? I don't want to pigeon hole myself but at the same time, there is a lot I just don't want to do with this podcast. At least not yet.

My youngest daughter said something to me today that brought on a flood of reflection and more than a dash of doubt. This is a crazy world we're living in right now and I am left wondering if the traditions I've built with my family can survive it.
