Cutting out the things that give you energy when times are stressful is a well-known strategy, but not a good one. So watch your back. You’re not sounding like someone who is at ease with the things he is doing at the Moment. But perhaps Im just imagining it.
I climbed a few 2300+ metre mountains last week. Sometimes it was really tough. Often there were no more paths at the top to orientate yourself. Or there was snow. But man, what a beautiful view from the top. And that deep feeling of fulfilment and peace that you get when you're up there.
For me the most valuable thing is knowing that these are self-chosen periods of very hard work. I think being able to actually make things happen on this scale is what seperates a lot of company owners from the ones that burn-out and quit. But keep in mind: I still played 7 hours of videogames with my girfriend this weekend, so not cutting everything out :D
Yeah, I get it. The grinding is part of the job. There is no repositioning without the heavy lifting. So hang in there, my favourite Irish mentor! The voicenote is fine with me. There will always be little nuggets of gold in there 👍👍
I play Fortnite with my son from time to time. I have never come back from the death so many times. It is a bit like starting a career as a facilitator 😂
I've been loving all the episodes lately (and letting others know they should check it out).
I listen in my car, mostly, so just wanted to say that A) I don't care if you don't also do a video version -- especially if it's more work for you. And B) when it rolled over from the end of a "produced" episode to the next "note" episode, I laughed when you apologized for the quality -- because the note version actually sounds better, on my car's speakers at least.
So, yeah, stick with the easiest approach for your time / life / sanity / technology.
Jonathan! I logged in specifically to say that I find great value in both TU and THU content and share it amongst friends and team. Take this as the ego stroke! I know you are super busy but the content is valuable and it will gain more traction soon enough.

Thanks for doing them.
Oh interesting about the sound quality!

This is a great ego stroke, thank you for that! :D
I get this all the time! Once all the main challenges get solved at AJS i get super bored. Luckily there is entropy :D
