Yesterday had a few good meetings as well as a video shoot down at TLR. Gonna use that content on various channels so I'm excited to get the end product as well as the b-roll footage. As the creative director, made the executive decision to also be an actor in it lol. Think it turned out well though.
First time doing Tai Chi in the barn where we normally have Saturday morning classes. I'll have to also bring a yoga mat next time as per Sifu's request. I did tell him that I'd be out Saturday and perhaps Friday as well due to my Quarterly Circle.
Rest of the evening, just meal prepped, ate dinner and played FIFA. I did get 3 out of 4 wins before losing the last game that I played, ensuring that I'd be staying in the same division and not being promoted. In the 5 seasons that I've played so far, I've used one team for each season. The teams have been Liverpool, Man City, Tottenham, PSG, and Bayern.
Didn't end up doing any packing yesterday even thought I initially wanted to. However I'm up early enough to get all that done before heading over to Beck's to carpool to RDU.
On Tuesday on the drive back after pondering on the idea of luck vs. skill, I was thinking about various podcast ideas. What I cam to was this. I would have a podcast called The TLDR of Life. (I could probably make it work with my given podcast name, it wouldn't be all encompassing of this idea tho imo.) I would structure the podcast episodes with the framework of my TLDR model of Thinking, Learning, Doing, and Relating. The Thinking style of podcast episode would be what I do on my weekly circles. I meditate and just let thoughts come to me and I let them flow out. It's like a stream of consciousness, but it's subconscious - so like a Stream of Subconsciousness. Oooh. That could be a good name for that style. I also thought about Meditative Monologues or Subconscious Soliloquys. For Learning, it would be me debriefing, providing actionable insights, takeaways, key concepts of a piece of content that I've just consumed. Could be a podcast, book, video, documentary, etc. Could call it Content Synthesis or Content Connections, since I'll also be relating and connecting the ideas in that particular piece of content to others I've learned from in the past. Then for Doing, this is where I'm struggling to see value for the listener the most. I was thinking of just having the audio from m y vlogs stitched together with a weekly recap that I record. Don't have as clever a name for this, other than Vawesome Logs for now. Need to think about this one more. Then finally is Relating. This style, I'd have a guest on and we'd just have a chat. Ideally, it's in person and we're both walking or recording it in a park, cafe, restaurant, etc. Somewhere where there is ambient noise. I'd also do my ice bath thing of the silence in the middle of the episode so both of us could reflect and gather our thoughts. I was playing around with words such as deep, profound, wisdom, casual, etc. for the title. Right now, I like Casually Profound as the name of this series, since I love to have deep conversations, think, and make other people think. In person is best for all this b/c I can have the most natural conversation. So cadence-wise, I'd do the Thinking, Learning, and Relating ones on a rotational basis. So one episode of this TL & R models would be released / week. The Doing I could do every week since it's going to be relevant only on a weekly basis. Oh! Just thought of this - what if for doing, I try out one new thing a month and then briefly talk about it? Could be rock climbing, cooking a new dish, taking a class somewhere, going to a new place, etc. Hmm. Could also try learning new skills for a year and talk about the progress? Perhaps recording my weekly newsletter and weekly recap of my projects or something? Perhaps this could be a place to show my ideas / progress on the school that I want to build. Then each month would be the progress that I'm making towards that, so people can see from the beginning how it all started. I think over time that would be more valuable than weekly recaps, since that's basically my newsletter. Good foundation as I go into my Quarterly Circle to build on these and other ideas.
