Episode notes
Birthday Weekend In New York City
- Coach Bennett describes his birthday in New York City visiting the Strand bookstore and the historic McSorley's Old Ale House where he awkwardly learned they accept cash only.
- The vivid details (two small pints, ATM fail, St. Patrick's Day vibe) show how simple experiences can bring joy and perspective.
Laughter Reset At A Comedy Club
- Coach Bennett recounts attending a 90-minute comedy show at the Fat Black Pussycat and feeling rejuvenated from nonstop laughter.
- He links the experience to the health benefits of laughing and urges listeners to find people who make them laugh.
Intentionally Practice Your Weaknesses
- Work on your weaknesses instead of hiding them; spotlight and practice the things you avoid to gain more upside.
- Example: improving a 25% free thrower is easier and yields bigger relative gains than marginally improving strengths.
