Episode 980: The Secret Agent

My wife and I watched The Secret Agent the other night. We really enjoyed it, and we were also a bit puzzled by it. The acting performances were impressive, leaving us with a clear impression that this wasn’t just another movie. And yet, we also noticed that the meaning of the movie wasn’t necessarily easy to grasp for anybody stepping into the experience of watching it. I share more about this here and the takeaways I had from that reflection. I hope you find it insightful. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Episode 979: Recall

Today’s podcast comes out of a recent experience of mine in my Italian learning journey. Frankly, I’m not investing the time needed to really learn effectively, and I’m far from consistent. I explore why this has become the case, along with the background for the system I aspire to use to learn vocabulary. It’s a challenge, but talking it out here helped me quite a bit. I’m hopeful it’s insightful for you, too. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Episode 978: Harshness

Today, I spend some time discussing a Terry Real quote that has sat with me since hearing it. “There is no redeeming value in harshness. There is nothing harshness does that loving firmly doesn’t do better.” I couldn’t agree more, although it is incredibly tempting to act out of line with this for a number of reasons. I share some of my thoughts about it here, which I hope you find useful. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Episode 977: Tears

This weekend was a nonstop onslaught of activities. It felt like I was running from the time I left my door in NYC to the time I returned to it over the course of four days. Many emotions ran through me, and I was happy with the way I dealt with them when I had a second to be with them. I share my experience here, which I hope you find valuable. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Episode 976: A Couple of Weeks Away

Uncharacteristically, I have missed 2 weeks of uploading a new podcast episode. I could make up many excuses, some of which I share in this recording, but at the end of the day, we all make choices. Each day, there was an opportunity to record. There always is. Everyone has ten minutes, whether they want to admit it or not. And yet, here we are. Today, I made a different choice. I’m happy with that, and I hope you enjoy listening to the outcome of that choice. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
