Jason Coworker Feb 10, 2020

Show notes

Nana sits down with one of her favorite coworkers, Jason, to talk about how he ended up in finance and how life has a funny way of working out. Below is the full quote that Jason opened up the episode with, and it reminds me of "If" by Rudyard Kipling, which I've also included below. I'm so happy Libsyn gives me all this space in my description! Hell yeah!

The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.

- John Walter Wayland (Virginia 1899)

If by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Solo Nana - Quickie Jan 20, 2020

Show notes

Solo Nana episode where I update you on where I've been, it's kind of a bummer so I keep it brief.

Solo Ep: Self-Love Jan 02, 2020

Show notes

Solo episode with Nana on the first day of the new year! I learned about self-love maybe three or four years ago from my good friend Blair Socci and have been curious about it ever since. I just remembered what I wanted to say at the end of the episode! If anyone is interested in the transcripts of either or both of these articles, just send me an email and I'll send them to you. Happy New Year!

Becky Scott RETURNS! Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

Becky Scott returns!!! Nana missed her friend and wanted to catch up with her and most of our conversations are good enough to be podcasts so we decided to record it. Becky Scott is the writer and co-director of Asking For It and while they didn't meet till Irene was cast in the film, they became fast friends and still get bagels on the weekends when their schedules allow. Becky breaks down what it's like to be a female writer, director and filmmaker in 2019, what it was like going to opens mics as as non-comedian, and the drive that's necessary to succeed. Nana was for sure too hard on Becky in regards to how closely she held the mic but Becky is a champ and got through the episode.
