52: The Quickening Pace Of Life
How fast does life go? Do we do so many things more quickly than we did before? In episode 52, I discuss:
how life is getting faster
how we fit more into each day as time goes on
the way to adapt to the speed up in the future
potential names for the listeners of this show
I am near finishing the book and will be done in due time. This is a great thing, and you should finish what you start. Also, long live day trading.

51: No Need To Be Waiting On Something
When you are working through your life, there is no need to ever be waiting for something. You can be patient for things, but you have to make moves. In this episode, I discuss:
not needing to wait for anything
making moves and then adjusting after the fact
the focus being on your actions
causing an impact instead of waiting for an impact
I talked about a few topics on this one, and I try to share my viewpoints along my own journey.

50: Bringing In Episode 50 With A Rap Freestyle
It’s the big 50, and you know we do it big here on The Armen Show. Little known fact is that I used to do freestyle raps that I would record every few days for years. I have raps from 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and some from 2017 (over 300 in total). In this rap I include:
messages on self-esteem
updates on current happenings
lyrics with style to a certain beat
some switches in flow and speed
The beat I rapped on here is one called “A Touch Of Gold”, by Elliote Waite, one of the people who makes beats for JeeJuh. It is one of the only ones I bought on there a few years ago. JeeJuh has some great beats that I have rapped to over the years.
Glad to have y’all on here through 50 episodes and onward we go. More raps on the way in the future.

49: Having A Range Of Motion And Emotion
In life, you need to have range throughout all that you do. These types of range include:
physical range of motion through activity and stretch
range of emotion in expression with others
range of ability to handle wins and losses of risk
range of understanding of different kinds of information that is available
These different types of range will make you less vulnerable to the world at large. You have to be able to manage that which is around you.

the hardware and software that Alex uses(and will be using) to make electronic dance music and similar
performers and events he likes to listen to and attend
the fact that we used two mics on this advanced episode
Glad to have Alex on this one. We used two Shure SM58 microphones to record, and also had headphones to hear input. Technology is all over the place on this one. Onward we go.

45: The Market Never Sleeps, And Opportunity Clouding
How is the show already at 45 episodes? It’s hard to say. This one is about:
the market never stopping for anyone
touching the market and its importance
not being clouded by all potential opportunities that show up
empathy and its relation to audience
I have been checking out some other podcasts, and noticed features that they have. Things continue to improve here in all categories.

appeal happening next in the courts
importance of the internet to what we see today
