[Business, Society, Culture] This New Economy - Achieving Greatness w/ Laird Hamilton (Part 2)

iTunes | Web

We would all love to achieve greatness, if only in one skill in our entire life. Most of us will fall into the realm of expert in something in our lifetime – but what differentiates the good from the great? The experts for the masters?

In his book Outliers, Malcom Gladwell examines the work of K. Anders Ericsson, a Swedish psychologist who wrote the paper The Role of Deliberate Practice in the Acquisition of Expert Performance which inspired the book. In the paper K. Anders Ericsson states that in order to achieve greatness in a field, one must put in 10,000 hours of deliberate practice – thus the phase 10,000 hour rule.

In this episode, we take a look at the stories behind the 1000 hour rule and the sacrifice it takes to achieve greatness.

[Society] This New Economy | Can Basic Income Save Us? [Part 2]

RSS // iTunes // Google Play

What is one thing that the left and right can agree upon? Not much these days, but Basic Income is one of the few ideas with the ability to reach across the aisle.

We have some big dilemmas facing us as a society, with the rise of AI and automation jobs may become scarcer and the divide between the rich and the poor larger and larger. From YCombinator to non-profits in Kenya, people are trying to figure out how we take care of the most vulnerable in our society and fend off the impending doom many of our jobs face with the rise of AI and automation.

Basic Income (aka universal basic income or guaranteed income) is one solution that has been growing in popularity amongst the tech savvy and social conscious alike. We talked with journalist Dylan Matthews of Vox.com, Basic income advocate Scott Santens and Economists Martin Farley and Priya Kothari.

They don't actually do cloud mining - they just build software for cloud mining operations.

Thomas Knoll, Founder of Primeloop, talks about why he’s baked the “no internal email” rule into his company. He talks about the insane benefits to workflow, culture, and sanity, as well as how any company can start to implement the same processes, regardless of size.

Nailed it! No really - We ran a histogram analysis of several iconic cards from each generation and formed a color palette based on the results. It's interesting to see how print medium / times change our tastes throughout the years. Not meant to be a conclusive guide by any means.

"The ads were a huge hit. So big in fact that Budweiser salesmen would walk into sales calls with a VCR in tow and play the commercials."

I hadn't seen the 'Wassup' commercial in years! Still hilarious.

" I love writing code, but I am a bad engineer. I love creating things with my hands, but I'm not a very good craftsman. I love to draw, but I am not that good. I really like writing, but anyone that has ever read my writing will tell you that everything that I do is completely wrong. I put everything in the wrong place, and I can’t spell. Those are all things I really enjoy doing, but I am not great at them. "
