Off Book: The Improvised Musical

33. Odycheese (w/ Griffin Newman)

Yesterday I sat down at the dinner table with my husband, and we ate in silence. We were both tired, it had been a long day, and I thought “what if this is what our relationship was like?”. I would probably feel lonely, disconnected, and bored. 
I can imagine over a series of silent dinner eating, I might feel like we are drifting apart. Or I might even get mad on the inside that he wasn’t talking to me (even though I could have initiated the dialogue). 
I have clients tell me that at first the silence was like an ache in their chest, but over time the ache hardened into awall. They stopped caring that they weren’t connected, instead they built a wall between them and their partner and shut down their emotional connection. 
If you have had many moments in silence, are feeling disconnected, and want to rekindle the connection between you and your partner, here are some practical tools to help you do that. 
 
1. Use conversation starters to help you have great connections. 
 
2. Think/talk about what is going right.
 
We have gone over two tools to help improve your emotional connection. Look, you can’t start and keep a fire going without
fuel and a spark. In your relationship, you need a spark of willingness to take action, and the fuel is both partners engaging repeatedly in actions/beliefs that will fuel the relationship. 
Connection isn’t a one-and-done process. It needs to be consistently worked on over the course of the relationship to keep the connection alive.

The Threat Of Deadly Fungal Pathogens

In a chaotic world full of distractions and noise, can we find a state of inner peace and enhanced creativity? According to psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, we can increase our wellbeing, creativity, and productivity by entering a state of flow. And we can use mindfulness to help us get there.

This episode is brought to you by <a href="http://paleovalley.com/hyman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Paleovalley</a>, <a href="http://drinkag1.com/HYMAN" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AG1</a>, and <a href="http://magbreakthrough.com/hymanfree" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bioptimizers</a>.  Difficult times and experiences happen to all of us. They can often leave us not feeling good enough, not feeling worthy of love, not being able to trust others, and more. And it can be easy to put self-care on the back burner, even when we know we need to face our struggles. Yet, when we make the time to be radically honest with ourselves, sit with our discomforts, and take action to change our state, we open up the door to healing. In today’s episode, I talk with Mel Robbins, Yung Pueblo, and Lewis Howes about how small actions we make every day can be the key to big changes that transform our lives. A New York Times bestselling author and self-publishing phenom, Mel Robbins’ work includes The High 5 Habit, The 5 Second Rule, and the number one-ranking The Mel Robbins Podcast. Her female-led media company produces provocative, life-changing content, with millions of books sold, billions of video views, six bestselling audiobooks, and one of the most viewed TEDx talks in the world. Her work has been translated into 41 languages and has changed the lives of millions of people worldwide. Diego Perez—who is widely known on Instagram and various social media networks by his pen name, Yung Pueblo—is a meditator and New York Times bestselling author. He has an online audience of nearly 3 million people. His writing focuses on the power of self-healing, creating healthy relationships, and the wisdom that comes when we truly work on knowing ourselves. His books include Inward, Clarity & Connection, and his most recent, Lighter, which was an instant New York Times bestseller. Lewis Howes is a New York Times bestselling author, keynote speaker, and industry-leading show host. Lewis is a two-sport All-American athlete, former professional football player, and member of the US men’s national handball team. His show The School of Greatness is one of the top podcasts in the world, with over 500 million downloads. He was recognized by the White House and President Obama as one of the top 100 entrepreneurs in the country under 30.

The Book Review

Great Books from The First Half of 2023

At a tree ring conference in the relatively treeless city of Tucson, Arizona, three scientists walk into a bar. The trio gets to talking, trying to explain a mysterious set of core samples from the Florida Keys. At some point, they come up with a harebrained idea: put the tree rings next to a seemingly unrelated dataset. Once they do, they notice something that no one has ever noticed before, a force of nature that helped shape modern human history and that is eerily similar to what’s happening on our planet right now. With help from pirates, astronomers and an 80-year-old bartender, this episode will change the way you look at the sun. (Warning: Do not look at the sun.)

Meg Wolitzer presents two stories with surprises the characters didn’t anticipate.  A smart Mom defies expectations in “Agouti,” by Brenda Williams, performed by Laurine Towler.  And a smart house has unexpected features in a classic by sci-fi master Ray Bradbury.  Stephen Colbert reads “The Veldt.”

Didn’t See It Coming

Dave and Chris open up with an observation about the true meaning of the phrase “excuse me,” before moving on to an exploration of the journey of American drinking culture and the way alcohol preferences change with age. Along the way, the two establish the “Hefeweizen Principle” (a way to point out minor degrees of cultural snobbery), before the discussion (and journey) culminates in the one drink that signifies true bar order enlightenment.

What “Excuse Me” Really Means, the Hefeweizen Principle, and the Bar Order Apotheosis

Humans have always created. But historian Samuel W. Franklin argues that "creativity" didn't become a social value until the Cold War. Today, we're at another inflection point for humanity, technology, and national identity. The meaning of originality is blurring; there are legal disputes about what constitutes original art; and AI can write a song like your favorite artist in seconds. So what does it mean to put creativity on a pedestal? And what would it look like to tear it down? On this episode, we talk with Franklin, author of "The Cult of Creativity: A Surprisingly Recent History," about original thinking, AI, and how the human drive to create gets branded, packaged, and sold.

Whaling was, in the words of one scholar, “early capitalism unleashed on the high seas.” How did the U.S. come to dominate the whale market? Why did whale hunting die out here — and continue to grow elsewhere? And is that whale vomit in your perfume? (Part 1 of “Everything You Never Knew About Whaling.”)

It's the free economics class you can take from anywhere... for everyone! For Season 4 of Summer School, we are taking you to business school. It's time to get your MBA, the easy way! In this first class: Everyone has a million dollar business idea (e.g., "Shazam but for movies"), but not everyone has what it takes to be an entrepreneur. We have two stories about founders who learned the hard way what goes into starting a small business, and getting it up and running. First, a <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/03/13/392862778/episode-610-the-prisoners-solution">story about Frederick Hutson</a>, who learned about pain points and unique value propositions when he founded a company to help inmates and their families share photos. Then, we take a trip to Columbia, Maryland <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/01/11/955697672/entrepreneurship-on-the-rise">with chefs RaeShawn and LaShone Middleton</a>. Their steamed crab delivery service taught them the challenges of "bootstrapping" to grow their business. And throughout the episode, Columbia Business School professor <a href="https://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/cbs-directory/detail/awl2108">Angela Lee</a> explains why entrepreneurship can be really difficult, but also incredibly rewarding, if you have the stomach for it.
