Do You Want the Problem or the Solution? [MM286] Jun 10, 2022

Show notes

During a recent conversation, a person that I know was telling me about an issue that they were having. When I offered what I thought was a solution, they rejected it out of hand. That got me thinking. Are we being intellectually honest with ourselves?

Do we want solutions or do we instead embrace the problem because accepting the problem is easier than applying the fix? This might be a valid internal conversation; do you want the solution or do you want the problem?

Eddie Van Halen Didn’t Know ... [MM285] Apr 22, 2022

Show notes

While watching an old interview with Eddie Van Halen, it was filmed in the late 90’s, Eddie made a statement about why he played the guitar the way he did. Though he only devoted a few sentences to the subject, what I heard seemed tremendously profound. We’re going to discuss and consider what Eddie meant when he said he didn’t know what not to do.

We examine the parable of the monk and the mountain. What lessons can be learned from this short tale? Professor Paul will discuss the modern lie of “fairness”. What is “fair”? Perhaps, "fair" is a place you go to eat cotton candy and ride the Ferris wheel.

10,000 Hours: How Long Will it Take You? [MM283] Dec 21, 2021

Show notes

I was reading a story about Jose Feliciano (Feliz Navidad) and how when he decided to learn to play the guitar he would practice all day long, sometimes for 12 to 14 hours.

Friends of Jimi Hendrix have reported that Jimi used to take his guitar with him wherever he went. Anytime he had a spare moment, Hendrix was plucking his axe. If 10,000 hours is the requirement for mastery, the big question is; how long will it take you to reach that number?

The Short Sightedness of Pandering [MM281] Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

Pandering, telling people whatever it is they want to hear, is a short-term strategy and a shortsighted undertaking. If that is the case, why do so many people, groups or organizations do it? Why is pandering still prevalent? On whom does pandering work?

Most importantly, can you be an effective, successful business without pandering? Do you need to pander to be a success?
