The Armen Show

interesting information notebook and its value books notebook that has my notes for the books I’ve read previous iterations of content I have made in different notebooks my comedy notebook where I wrote material for sets I did using Evernote to organize the parts of your life that matter to you

“Be polite, on time, and work really hard until you are talented enough to be blunt, a little late, and take vacations and even then… be polite” “Celebrate the childlike mind” “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing” “Think for yourself. Everyone has a unique picture of how things work and function, and yours is as valuable as anyone’s” “If it’s already common knowledge, it’s probably too late to make a major contribution. If you’re the only one excited, you may be deluding yourself” “Be present” “We can’t control the fact that bad things are going to happen but it’s how we react to them that really matters.” “Macro patience. Micro speed.” “When you stop caring about being right in the eyes of everyone, it’s amazing how little you care to waste energy trying to convince people of your view”

we have made it to episode 100 checking out how I can improve and streamline the posts noting the great guests along the way looking at other podcasts to see what is different or notable working toward great results, glad to have y’all on board~

looking at other podcasts like This American Life and Serial examining what they have that I can learn from or do how longevity can lead the way to nice results Tribe of Mentors by Tim Ferriss and my short look at it thus far something cool about the authors of the last book I read

lady winning the lottery and wanting to remain anonymous how relevant anonymity is when having large funds how closing your eyes gives you perspective on your world some book updates and a little bit on the rocks

Glad to have you back on episode 97. Some of us like collecting things, and I recently collected a bunch of rocks when at Malibu Beach, and many of them are nice. In this episode, I discuss: the colors and shapes of the rocks I collected people around the beach who saw the collecting and noticed what I might do with the rocks, and how they look the super bowl party that we had, and how it was inclusive These rocks were publicly available, and I went and searched them out. This is a nice message about life, in that some things you like are already out there waiting for you. I might find more later. Glad for your listening~

Sometimes you want to update about what is occurring, and shout out the people who make things or do things you know about. This is a nice thing you can do regularly. The people around us are the people we can connect with. In this episode, I discuss: Toby Emerson and his cool music I have used on my Youtube and here Gary Kazazian music I used for intro, and his planned gig at The Mint Kenny bringing NotSocks to the people who want socks but not socks Gary Vee and his latest book Crushing It that is out in the public Alex and his EDM music I used as an intro, and his music-making Alicia from earlier episode bringing life to life, and also clothes/gems Jane with the Grayson power plant expansion and good fitness People are our world, and we have to shout them out as applicable. We can do more things if we reach out and try connecting in different ways.  

We are in the February. This one, episode 95, is on socially-known events like the Super Bowl, and making use of them for social happenings. There are not that many things that a lot of people know about, especially as the amount of niches grows in size. In this episode, I discuss: the way that big events causes group energy that is atypical making use of things like the super bowl to congregate why you should include the people you know in what you do some examples of including others in my own stuff Even if something doesn’t fit you exactly, you can match with the part of it that does fit with you. We don’t have to take in all the elements of something that doesn’t fit, in the same way that you don’t have to eat every food at a buffet. Adjust what you go with, and leave the rest for others to be. Also, inclusiveness is a nice gesture. Through the 90s we go~

We are in the 90s like it is like 1994. This is episode 94, and the intro music is “Gone Home” by Gary Kazazian, and possibly Kaspar Kazazian as well. It is also in the outro. Music is always good for variety purposes. The Elephant In The Brain is now a book we have gone through and finished, and we move through February. In this episode, I discuss: performance of a skill being paramount to preparation and reading about it using your abilities in person to hone down what needs to be worked on how we see political, religious, and sports fan teams in society the teams that I identify with, and what I like to see more of Taking the concepts from something you learned is important. You can’t just let them float away, or you won’t internalize anything. When I read a book, I include concepts from it in my discussions and actions, so that the book had an impact on my life. Also, on a separate note, Bill Gates liked the upcoming book Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker(it’s not out yet), and I have read a few books that Bill has also read. We have a similar interest in books and knowledge. Maybe I will get back to getting advanced copies of books like when it was 2010 and my blog was booming. Onward we go.

This one is the closer as far as the chapters of the latest book I have been reading, which is The Elephant In The Brain. It was a cool book, and informed a lot about why people do much of what they do, and how we can learn about ourselves through that. In this episode, on the first of the month of February, I discuss: how the educational system is about signaling and certification the ways that medicine is about conspicuous caring more than healing the details of religion that make it about loyalty and group effort politics and the way it brings people into certain categories We can do a lot once we realize the hidden motives we have, the ones others don’t share, and the ones that are built into institutions. We can adjust how we present ourselves, and design things so they are aligned with people’s actual motives. Glad to have you check out the content on this book, and keep a look-out for that interview article in February.
