And just like that, it’s all over!

Episode 10 concludes the inaugural series of Too Loud; Didn’t Hear… & so we welcome you to join us as we roll back the weeks & assess each topic that we’ve covered; how we felt it went, which parts we enjoyed & even struggled with along the way.

Negotiation is taking place all the time, whether it’s asking for a pay rise, buying a new car or getting the kids to bed at night, or just in our daily interactions with friends, family & potential loved ones — we’re constantly trying to give & get in order to achieve the things we want.

In this episode of TL;DH we discuss the tactics you can employ to be better equipped at the negotiation table; how to cunningly phrase your questions & carefully navigate through the other persons needs, wants & asks in order to establish a win-win outcome for both parties.

Unlock the salesperson in you by tuning into the subtleties of negotiation so that both you & your counterpart leave with what you want.

This episode of Too Loud; Didn’t Hear is brought to you by coffee, an everyday stimulant that gets us up in the morning, gives us energy & focus throughout the day & keeps us awake at night — because who can say no to a double espresso at 9pm after dinner? Not me.

But what else is out there? And what might your college friends, professional peers & sporting competitors be taking to get an edge over you? Who might require stimulants & who just wants them to feel, well… stimulated!

When is it not okay; considered self-damaging, classed as abuse/addiction or simply ruled-out as cheating? And if its not being freely prescribed, where else do we turn to get our kicks?

Join us as we discuss stimulants & substances.

As the title suggests, in this episode of Too Loud; Didn’t Hear we talk about the conflict in Syria; who’s fighting who, why & what has caused the war to last beyond 7 years.

We attempt to take you through the chronological timeline of events that involve much wrongdoing, response/retaliation, break-away groups forming & intervention from neighbouring countries, as well as overseas foreign backers who’ve been funding & equipping all sides, creating this hotbed of hostility.

The noise generated by the media tends to focus on one or two aspects, but what we’re not hearing is the facts or the reasons as to why this war doesn’t look like ending anytime soon.

Syria has become something of a mess & it’s important you understand why, it’s a subject worth informing yourself about & we hope with a little focus you’re able to get some value out of our discussion on the matter.

What are your feelings on this subject?

Do you ever feel like things just aren’t as good as they used to be?

What if I was to tell you that no matter what the topic or timeline things are getting better, and the only reason people feel that things are getting worse is thanks to a cognitive bias called ‘The Negativity Bias’?

Today’s episode is all about Negativity Bias and how despite what you think, things aren’t so bad!

Whether you measure the health and life expectancy of our species, or look at violence rates, or equality, we are making constant progress.

The Age of Reason saw the end of the rampant ignorance, terror and paranoia to which society had previously been in thrall and born were the human values we still see today of a moral footing.

But, despite our psychological enlightenment from The Age of Reason are we at risk of retrogression due to constant negative propaganda?

Join us as we ponder the topic and please share your thoughts with us.

This episode of Too Loud; Didn’t Hear is brought to you by the animals… not that they had any say in the matter!

We shine the light on the meat, dairy & agricultural industry by exposing what we feel is wrong & unethical but equally ignored, silenced & in some cases banned from making its way into our mainstream media to protect commerce & profit lines.

As meat-eaters ourselves, we aren’t asking anyone to become vegetarian or vegan but we do wish to acknowledge a few home truths & hope to encourage critical thinking & healthier decision-making at meal times — because it’s important to know what you’re putting in your mouth at all times, right?

We feel compelled to state that no animals were harmed in the making of this episode & in fact, one of us does vow to eat no meat for at least 7 days… find out who!

As always, please join in the debate & give us your opinion!

In this episode of Too Loud; Didn’t Hear we open up about personal struggle, strife & things we’ve overcome using the Stoicism philosophy of shifting the mind’s focus & energy to control your response to difficult situations, not the difficult situations themselves.

We all get frustrated at trivial things; having no wifi or being stuck in traffic, as well as more serious things; personal insecurity or being diagnosed with a condition — we can choose to let these things define who we are or we can use them as catalysts to prove what we’re made of.

“How can I see this as a gift?” or “What’s the positive I’m not seeing right now?” are questions that hack your cognitive response to adversity & force your brain to respond with positive answers even when it feels unnatural to, allowing you to focus on what you really want, not on any obstacle that is temporarily in the way.

We’re proud & anxious in equal measures to bring you the latest release of Too Loud; Didn’t Hear where we tackle, knowingly as two males still improving, the topic of Feminism & the vast amount of inequality still present today.

Whether it’s a lack of women in leadership positions, the clear divide in how women are paid, the imbalance in opportunities versus men or some of the more subtle challenges they face, like imposter syndrome, benevolent sexism or women not supporting other women — we feel it only fair to shed light on these topics & our personal experience bearing witness to them, in an effort to stand-up & support women without excuse, even when we’re in male-only environments.

In our latest release of Too Loud; Didn’t Hear we discuss The Narcissism of Minor Differences; the magnification of the smallest differences between us & others in order to achieve self identification & superiority. Think of the English & the Scots, the Serbs & the Croats — we’re so afraid of seeing ourselves in our neighbour because to do so would harm our very ego & desire for distinctiveness. Whether you’re a Red or a Blue, let’s agree to leave the bragging rights at the door temporarily as we look to celebrate the similarities & uncover the truths of how we are all, in fact, much of the same.

Introducing Too Loud; Didn’t Hear – A podcast by Andy and Dean, two thirty something professionals who are trying to filter the world of noise to find real actionable learnings and advice.

In this debut episode we discuss Donald Trump & what he represents; white middle-class privilege. The unfair advantage that exists for some, provides a floor to fall on that’s beyond the ceiling of others. A disproportionate amount of opportunity is gifted to those who fail repeatedly, simply because they’re white, male & born into privilege.
