Worthy Podcasts #11

I have been following Shane Parrish's work for many years. His blog Farnham Street and the Podcast The Knowledge Project (TKP) have given me wise, actionable points.

While reading his book Clear Thinking I came across the difference between a 'nice' and 'kind' person. The reference was his Podcast interview with Sarah Jones Simmer on TKP. I didn't hesitate to listen in.

The one hour podcast highlights:

• The need to focus on a five year time frame to plan

• T shaped learning

• Importance of gratitude, clarity of purpose

• Having someone to share everyday happenings on longer-term health

• Diverse perspectives and the problem solving capacity of a team

• Nice and kind person

• Importance of voice to voice conversation (nothing/little lost to translation) in comparison to texting

• Importance of relationships

• Finding joy and knowing love being the definition of success.

A good one for the weekend.
