"For people <Speech_Male> who want to kind of find <Speech_Male> you, where's the best <Speech_Male> place to get in touch and <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> pitch you or pick your brain <Speech_Male> or try to find <Speech_Telephony_Male> what you're <Silence> putting out? <Speech_Male> Yeah, so you can find <Speech_Male> me on Twitter at <Speech_Male> mister Jason Choi <Speech_Male> and if you want <Speech_Telephony_Male> to follow the podcast, <Speech_Male> it's at the block <Speech_Male> crunch. We also have <Speech_Male> a newsletter for <Speech_Male> people who want to go deeper. <Speech_Male> It's called block range <Speech_Male> VIP. You can find <Speech_Male> it on Twitter <SpeakerChange> as well. <Silence> Awesome. <Speech_Male> All right, Jason, <Speech_Male> thank you so much for sharing <Speech_Male> your thoughts <Speech_Male> and look <Speech_Male> forward to having you on again soon. <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> Yeah, thank <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> you so much. <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> I think one of the really <Speech_Male> interesting insights <Speech_Male> that Jason <Speech_Male> is bringing to <Speech_Male> his particular <Speech_Male> brand of investing <Speech_Male> is that problems <Speech_Male> that might have <Speech_Male> started as excesses <Speech_Male> of a <Speech_Male> former monetary <Speech_Male> policy regime, <Speech_Male> a loose money, <Speech_Male> easy money regime. <Speech_Male> Result in <Speech_Male> problems that look different <Speech_Male> in web three versus <Speech_Male> web two. <Speech_Male> For example, <Speech_Male> if a venture firm <Speech_Male> forces too high <Speech_Male> evaluation on a <Speech_Male> company and buys <Speech_Male> too much of their round <Speech_Male> so that it actually matters <Speech_Male> in terms of the allocation <Speech_Male> of their fund size, <Speech_Male> which is of course <Speech_Male> giant size because <Speech_Male> of all that easy money <Speech_Male> sloshing around, <Speech_Male> maybe that doesn't matter <Speech_Male> that much in web <Silence> two. But <Speech_Male> in web three, <Speech_Male> where the goal of <Speech_Male> most protocols <Speech_Male> and projects at <Speech_Male> least on paper, <Speech_Male> at least in terms of <Speech_Male> what their founders <Speech_Male> say, is to <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> move towards a state of <Speech_Male> greater decentralization. <Silence> <Speech_Male> Being forced to sell <Speech_Male> off a bigger than <Speech_Male> necessary chunk <Speech_Male> of the network value <Speech_Male> in the form of early <Speech_Male> tokens or equity <Speech_Male> can be really problematic. <Silence> I <Speech_Male> think it's great to see folks <Speech_Male> who are experienced <Speech_Male> in venture, <Speech_Male> cutting out on their own to <Speech_Male> try to do it a different way. <Speech_Male> So I wish Jason <Speech_Male> nothing but luck. <Speech_Male> And like I said, he's <Speech_Male> producing a ton of great <Speech_Male> content out there, so I hope <Speech_Male> you get to find your way to <Silence> some of it. <Speech_Male> For now I want to thank Jason <Speech_Male> again for being on the show. <Speech_Male> My sponsors <Speech_Male> next to IO circle <Speech_Male> and FTX for supporting <Speech_Male> the show, and you <Speech_Male> guys for listening. <Speech_Male> Until tomorrow be safe and take care of each other.

"You. And so it's a better time for you to maybe put aside a few dollars. I don't know what's right for you. But I think you need to have a plan. And when I tell my students, it's an exercise that we do in my class is just to put in a spreadsheet. How much do you think you're going to save every year from now until age 65? Now, of course, this isn't going to actually happen. Life has a lot of uncertainty. So you're not going to actually hit the target, but let's just kind of ballpark how much you think you're going to save each year. Let's just add that up, assume a conservative rate of return. And then just see what the arithmetics say. Are you going to end up with some amount of money, some amount of savings at age 65 that is reasonable, and if you're not even in the ballpark of reasonable under your assumed plan, then you need to change something because I'm not saying going to say that you need to save more today, but you need to have some plan that at this particular age, that's what I'm going to really change the trajectory of my savings. Well, professor James Choi, thank you so much. And I'm just so impressed with the breakthroughs that the field of behavioral economics have brought to people around the world because it is such a different way of looking at things than the way the field of economics always did. And it's so much better a predictor about what actually happens with people and I'm love it that you've dedicated your life's work to this study in this field. Yeah, it's been fun and I always tell people when they ask me, what do you do? I said, I studied dumb things people do with their money. The last lot to study though. That's right. Well, professor

"We have a special podcast normally we don't have guests, but today we have professor James Choi of Yale University and professor Choi has done so much research in a field of economics called behavioral economics that kind of bridges the gap between the way we live as humans and what economists think we do or should do. And this is a big deal because if people did what empirically we were supposed to do, we would live completely different kind of like as robots. But we're not robots. And so I've written ten books on personal finance. So many people who deal in personal finance have written books, guides, talk about it, TV, radio, podcasts, you name it, we talk about it and we have kind of a standard playbook where we talk about the things that you should do, well, professor Choi has been doing a lot of research on the differences between what those of us who talk with consumers every day about personal finance and what economists think we're doing. What's actually going on and what really does work. So I'm really glad to have with us professor Choi. Thank you so much for joining us on today's podcast. Well, my pleasure. So you dug deep about different things that we do as humans, the way we approach money and one of the things that I got to kick about that you've done research is mutual funds. What you found about what consumers actually understand when they buy a fund versus what they should know when they're buying a fund. And I think that's a good illustration of where what people do is not necessarily in their best interest. What did you find out in that area? Well, I mean, I think that a really, really important part of choosing a mutual fund is figuring out what kind of fees that the mutual fund charges and I think that there are a bunch of people out there that have the mistaken notion that these things are free or that the differences in fees are just not really significant and actually they're vast differences in the fees that different mutual funds charge and in particular if you're looking at an index fund. So like an S&P 500 Index fund, for example, you should be choosing the fund that charges the lowest fees

"I have an interview with professor James Choi from Yale University coming up. Professor Choi is a behavioral economist and he's done some really, really in depth dive. On when you should actually start saving money. His philosophy is really different than mine. I want you to hear what he has to say. Before that, though, I've got a lot of your questions I'm going to answer. I'm going to start by answering as many as I can before I do the interview. And I've got a really short update for you. I've talked recently on several occasions about the advantage with cash you have buying U.S. treasuries. And I've alluded to what a pain in the rear end it is, dealing with treasury direct Doc of to set up accounts to buy treasuries, treasuries, the way I've described them, their CDs for rich people. But you don't have to be rich. It's just a more complicated process to buy them. People have been to put it mildly frustrated slash intimidated by the process of buying U.S. treasuries at treasury direct dot gov. And it treasury direct dot gov, you can buy ultra short term treasuries that are like ultra short CDs, you don't have a lot of money to buy them. They're just a little complicated. And there are a bunch of different issues of them starting at basically the equivalent of one month CDs and running from there. Well, I heard enough feedback that this is a bridge too far for most people to think about buying these treasuries and the ideas it's a great way for you to stash money for a month to a year. To buy these as kind of like a savings instrument. You can buy treasuries for up to 30 years, but the idea where I'd been talking about is buying them for a month to a year, one month, two months,

"Are they the person that actually understand. What the hell talking about and do they cause at the end of the day. These are all just words to like give you perspective but at the end of the day you have to do it like i have to do it. I have to decide for me. What i wanna have in life. Be that family this type of career. This type of piece this type of lifestyle. I'm the one that calls those shots and nobody else is going to know or understand or support that the same way i would see where all those things merge exactly in the more date in. This is something i've even learned more I mean recently knees the more data you get. Because i'm a i like getting data. I like getting advice from people. I love talking to different people in collecting as much as i can make a better decision. Prefer a lot of things in life. What i realized in this is me being a ceo of a company with employs right In having a lot of different advisors in people like that is that you know you've done inside you know the answer in. You're the only one who can actually make it happen. Everything else like. I said again can distract you from what you actually want in. That wastes a lot of time because we can't get time back right. We're just getting older and anytime there's there's anything that is said to you that keeps you from taking action. You have to get yourself to take action constantly like you know. The worst thing for me is when i get into these slumps. Where whether it be yourself. Or you're hearing e get a piece of feedback or a comment or whatever it is that doesn't make you feel good. Usually ends up happening with people as they stop operating. They stop executing the kid this like crawl his whole and then they're just like okay. I'm not motivated today yet. Right it's very common. And so what i learned is is. How do you quickly get out of that hole. Is you gotta get out of that hole as fast as possible in give back to being taking action and sometimes too much data into any people giving advice can also keep you in that whole in. Keep you unproductive right. So the only way to produce results in your life is by taking action and no one nothing. Nothing great happens from someone just sitting in front of their computer and playing videogames old. I mean the listener twist schumer but up saying yes. Yeah you gotta take action basically. It's like a skill to get out of that as fast as possible. I think that like even the taking action thing. Because i think the the context in which you and i are talking right now which is still in the middle of kobe rate Taking action always for me in terms of how to maintain my drive or like my performance. Or whatever like my productivity in a long in a long term perspective a lot of my actions for me personally has been being brutally protective of my time and energy which means my action has been saying node more things so like are sucking comes out and like when people come knocking wanting xyz from me like it hurts. David because like your saint louis. It's none easy. It's hard for me to lead people down quote unquote or feel like i'm letting people down or because that's what i was so accustomed to. That's the value. That was my identity. That was my daily uploads. If you will like. That's how. I got the dopamine that i'm doing something you know and that a lot of that identity for me came from helping other people a lot of that even like i'll be really like i have to. Yeah yeah like a lot of collapse stuff like i was so community driven. I don't regret it. But i learned a lot from it like there's so many times i was depleted and that i gave all of myself to and i'm not trying to pay myself a martyr. This is something. I chose to do that. I felt driven. But i was so into the community and i it was a lot of ego in there too like getting these like the position of being executive director and feeling like i had the power authority to move the needle or something like i got a lot of satisfaction out of that but it also took a lot out of me and it was the expense of that was not being able to create the stuff. I wanted to create. Write the scripts. I wanted to now. I have no excuse now. Just me procrastinating. Also but like at the time like i literally had no time because every night there was an event there always some things that i got some sponsorship. I gotta get on behalf of the community. And that's what i've been like recuperating from a little bit in the aftermath because you know i like technically stepped down three years ago but i've still been still so a part of the asian american community that like i was like what could have happened in. All those years theoretically. I don't know because we don't know we can't go back in time but like to me. I had to really sit with that of like. Why do i feel so depleted and when still people come after me like exactly what you said. They don't want you to change. They're used to having you be this person and be predictable and reliable and everything they needed more to do xyz. And you're like no. I'm trying to leave that behind. That's that's. I'm no longer in that space. I'm now doing this thing. You're like i'm a ceo of a company if you wanna work with me. They're like let's talk like that heart is not an. That'll create a different dynamic with people for all those reasons. Like i was just being really aware this last year. Especially like how much of a toll that took How much i benefited to is not again. Nothing's black or white. I got so much out of it. But do i want to keep repeating that. You know that's on the. What do i gotta do internally including the saying no you know respectfully declining if you will be like. I don't know time or energy for that. I'm so sorry but good luck poker on you like honestly I will say that. I would like hundred percent choose. I know that you had stepped out of the limelight quote in that way of being like a viral and influence and singer songwriter. And the david that we always knew. But i really. I knew that you're working on this thing. And i greatly admired you for that. I have admired you for that even though we haven't talked that much in the last few years because there's less interactions because of were not in that same sphere that we used to. But that like. I want you to know that that stuck out to me is like bro. He left and he's doing something that he's invested in. That's so sick like it's amazing so good on you. I appreciate that it's like. I said i'm still on that journey. Dot some things i learn slower than others something to pick up faster but you know it. It's everything that i've experienced from the past in in where i am now is Everything i've experienced from the passes actually applied to to what what i'm going through now in You know.

That makes sense is really just that journey in in the things that i'm learning Along the way. It's fine. Because i'm kind of in a maybe where you were. I know that you're still. You're on the squiggly line towards point. Be an eye too. I am too. I'm curious like were there different. Because there's been a lot of talk at least amongst my friends and people that i am inspired by a lot about Setting intentions in like being very clear about for me. It's setting intentions has always been ingrained in me. I guess but for me it's actually setting more concrete goals that have become more applicable in my life. Because i haven't been as i guess. Concrete or finite about the things that i wanna do is kind of like in a grey zone of like. I want to do this and i want to do this. And now it's like we'll by win and like how will you know that you got there. What are your key performance indicators right that's so it's so So much pressure. Yeah but at. Least i'll pull a line for sean cheap. Because have you watched it. Have you watched on tv. i haven't yet. I haven't johnny spoilers but basically it's about like like having an idea of where you wanna go. You're more likely to go there than if you don't know right absolutely agree so even though there's pressure and yeah i think i'm like just the product of my dad. I feel like no pressure. no diamonds. Man you gotta have some pressure right like. I know that we're so under stress right. Now that it's like a lot in were pride too much pressure in life right now at the moment but in general i'm like i just don't i wanna be a supportive later if i become a mom but i also feel like i've still to push the hell out of my kids. What's so what is it that you're thinking howard move forward not to free-floating but that's the way i look at it your impression on diamonds. Yeah absolutely. i think it's important to have goals for sure. Like i have a list of things. That i've i've written even probably eight years ago that i adore right things that i want to accomplish in. You won't Accomplish all of them. But i think even the act of writing things down on paper. Yeah talking it away and storing it. It's pretty interesting that A lot of this stuff on my list a actually happened I just really interesting. But i mean they're just like general things. I wanna get on marrying amazing woman. I tied i did I want more dogs. I have to have more in the future. Nice little things like that. Like like the things that you can attain in the future like Those are all things that that i think people should write down and gives you kind of like a company like a an northstar for life in general big picture and then you should write your goals of what you want to accomplish in terms of career as well. Right absolute auto. Those are all important things. You know spiritually physically career life of all those things. I think we need something to to to take her right. Yeah absolutely okay. i'm gonna come back. I wanna know the amazing woman thing. I i would love to hear the whole story. I heard Cliffs now sea. Give me bullet points a while back when i got to meet her and she's wonderful she beautiful When you're at the career point and you're saying like i'm sick of the content creation this this youtube rat race. If you will or like the artists i mean not many people know it to right like more people might know it now because like you said so many more platforms where people to monetize and like to make it their thing but again you're in like a very experimental is right but just it wasn't being done before you're part of the og group that was like watching it. Become the thing that it is now right that other people kind of flow into so at the point that you were like really Hitting bernau was there like. When did you make the decision to say. Like i wanna go into tech and was what was that transition like. I'm curious did you like set a time and be like a case. No more youtube. Like i'm not writing more music. 'cause you're still i featured. You're single in my last episode by the way so you're still making music. What was that. What were your intentions at that point. Where like you started to really switch out of like. I'm david choi seeing her songwriter. Yeah what was like. Will this switch. It did bring a few things here. So one of the things that i noticed was people didn't want me to change. Are they want to be the musician they wanted me to be the sierra the jar and when i would ask for help were advised her from certain people You know i kinda tell it's like oh you're in my space now interesting okay. So that was really interesting. Sort of thing that i experienced for me. I was like music's always going to be a part of who i am. It's it's my dna but with those transitions.

"Willingness and like the timing of your life in the the the life took having adopted youtube early on right being like an early creator there. And i know that that's like i want to get to obviously where you are now like all the crazy things. But we can rewind a little bit and do a little reflection like what is impossible to say like in an hour for you to some everything you've learned from being uninfluenced or have watched that word exist right in the creation of your career like can you for those who are just getting on track with david choi. What was it when you first started like when you were your intentions. Do you remember that at all leg. Yeah i do. I do remember my intentions and it was really just for growth like i- i was before youtube. I was always into getting feedback about my music i would send it to friends. And say hey. I didn't write this song. I'm just recording it for someone what you. What are your thoughts on it. Because i wanted unbiased opinions on my music. So i wanted to get better. I wanted to be really good at what i what i did so you was a great way for me to do that. It was also very new space at the time. It was very foreign for anyone to show their face on camera and upload it and that was a very weird thing that i saw people to on youtube and Eventually i kind of you know founded in myself in Just to it didn't feel like i had to be brave. It just felt like more like let's experiment. Let's see what happens because it doesn't seem like real people mine here it's almost like digits. Robots that are typing comments but is more of a social experiment at know along with trying to get feedback in a bunch of things. I didn't have any aspirations that You know that i would. You know maybe someday become a full time musician from doing this or it wasn't any of that. Yeah it was literally the timing and it turned into something a breed spectacular for me. It was really the timing in preparation. I can't really say it. Was you know strategic or anything like that. It just kind of happened. I love that. I still think that. Like i'm in all of that. If i may just like i full disclosure i. I am very bad with feedback or i very much. Fear asking for feedback have historically. Yeah most. I'll say that that's a characteristic of yours again to to be open about what you think what you feel about your work like to say. Hey here it is. what do you think. And i don't know people who are like chomping at the bit like yo. Let me know what you think. Most people are like. Okay i work my butt off on this please like it if you don't talk to me like that's how i felt like i will. I made a music video in two thousand fifteen and i literally ran and went under the covers as if that was going to protect me but Posted on youtube. And i had a heart attack by the way And then just jumped on the. Because i was so am i. I still grapple with that to this day. Like making something. How did you always grow up that way where you always like. Hey it made the is what do you think like did you do. You never really struggle with getting negative feedback. I man that's a really interesting question of i think i there's one part of beside me. That didn't care what people thought That's because nobody cared. I was very shy. I didn't have like that many friends as like nobody that i don't think really people care. So let's just get this feedback in you know. See if see what they really think. And i was able to kind of be objective about things and as a songwriter. One of the things you have to do is be okay with detaching yourself work even if it is personal and that's a really hard skill set to build i had to build that in myself And if you peel the warriors right what does it come down. What is it boiled down to. In my opinion. I think it down to level of getting really deep but Who you are as a person first and foremost if you have to find comfort in that they the you are a you are not the work that you created. You are a different person. You have you know i am. I am kind person i am. You know i'm a person who works hard. Those are things that people can't take away from you that you can't really attach that to a song in so you find out all the things as to why you are special y y you are unique. It's just really about ivan. Say like acceptance of yourself first and foremost once you've accepted in grounded yourself in who you are at least in that that moment in time then any work you put out becomes just like a loose extension of who you are but it's not who you are. It's just an Extension that could be cut off basic. It's a thing that you made analysis externalize plate of yourself. Yeah and so whatever people however people critique it like i said yeah we're humans we're gonna feel it of course when someone doesn't like something i create. I don't like it might if you keep exercising that muscle than your skin gets thicker and thicker. And then you're able to say. Oh you know what that's true. What they said is probably. What would these ten people said the same thing. It's probably true. Oh you know what. Next time. I do this. I'm not gonna make that mistake again. Interest makes you better and better and better and that just makes intern your life better. It makes your work better. It makes you know impacts more people like you can keep attaching meaning to why it's important for you to experience this growth and in with growth. There's pain involved as well.

Choi david i actually got to know and got to meet through the collaboration universe when i was executive director and actually when i was a volunteer for the san francisco chapter back in my twenties. My young days I'd been a fan of david for years before i ever met him and to see him. I remember the specific moment that i saw him in. Real life in person was at my very first. Collaboration show which i had driven down from the bay to l. a. in two thousand thirteen slept in a car overnight in a parking lot very sexy and gone to my first show in the shrine auditorium. Five thousand people. My head was exploding from just like this asian-american representation in pride in real life outside of youtube and the internet It was an incredible moment and after after party. I really like. I'm talking to somebody and i out of the right peripheral i lied. I see david choi walking with his around. Kina grant another youtube and musical legend. That i look up to. And she's awesome where the nicest people wanted to swedish people on earth Yeah there's just casually walking by me arm-in-arm because they're a really good pals and my brain just broke and it exploded. And i remember that moment that visual that feeling so vividly. Because you know you don't get a ton of those moments where something that you like experience on a screen and that you see as like other worldly is right there in front of you as flesh and blood real real life and i know how much that meant to me before when they were just figures on the screen that already meant so much but for them to be real life. People that eventually got to meet and befriend and get to know On a more personal level has been. It's been incredible for me. It's been amazing. And david has changed so much in his life path. Becoming you know this amazing tech ceo and this new journey as a husband and a father now outside of you know what i originally met him house which was a youtube sensation and an influence. Her mind you an early one. That turned didn't even exist when he started. He was one of the first right. So it's been crazy. And i'm just so grateful to have him on the show to share a lot of his lessons learned because those are very hard lessons learned coming from true blood sweat and tears Ups and downs triumphs and failures So it's great to have david on the show before we introduce him and the conversation. I wanna plug him a little bit more Because david we're gonna feature a song at the altro. It's going to be a throwback 'cause it's one of my favorite songs that he ever wrote So stay to.

I have had to you know manage myopia now and i have had to answer to those things and so i have a lot of empathy for it because i've had my own personal experiences with it so if you have a business experience beforehand and you have a basic understanding of how business works. You're naturally going to have better problem solving skills when trying to find that. Nice middle ground to work in since we are nonprofit and we are by nature very different you have to have intellectual curiosity because the things that we talk about i mean they run the gamut. You have to be naturally interested in the world yet to naturally be interested in things that are outside of your purview so that you can have these intellectual conversations because those intellectual conversations are what get people excited about working with us because we do things that are all fairly standard fare but will but i think you need to do is be a firm believer in educating people and caring about the mission because what really drives the most successful partnerships are the ones where you have the capacity to inspire so that means that you are you yourself are inspired by ideas you yourself are inspired by the mission of tad and you believe it firmly and that businesses have like a legitimate role and probably the biggest role closest to the largest resources to actually make significant real change in the world and so that's what drives us and so if you can understand all of those elements you'll do well in this And you're also on ted's diversity council. What is that role like in. How has that affected. Change in ted.

So susan on one level a simple level stories. Kind of a case. Study of kleptomaniac. What is it that makes it more than that. I think the thing that makes it more than that is the idea of narration itself and storytelling this sense that sasha desperately wants to you know as she puts it right this new ending in collaboration with 'cause and there's something in that that i find so moving every time i read the story that has to do with faith this faith that sasha has in cause and even finds it very funny way to kind of underscore it when sasha tells us that she actually doesn't know 'cause even really is a shrink that he might just be a fraud but she's she's chosen to believe in him and that's very moving to me because i feel that the story is about sasha struggling so mightily to continue believing in something to believe in him to believe in the possibility of change for herself and to believe in the possibility of taking control of her story badly as she wants to get to that happy ending. She can't and i find that very. You know very heartbreaking. And i guess applicable to you know life in general not just this kind of wonderfully particular situation life as an attractive thirty something. secret kleptomaniac. I'm interested by what you're saying because my sense reading the story is that you know yes. She's collaborating with 'cause on a story. That's a redemptive story. That's building to a happy ending. But in order to make the actual life fit with that storyline. She has to hide things and not go to places that are important so is she actually collaborating or is she just trying to help him shape a narrative that's not true i think it's much more the latter which is very sad. You know you asked me earlier. What did i think made my students respond so powerfully to this story. And i think the absence at least within the limits of the story of a happy ending and the very real possibility indicated within the story that that happy ending doesn't exist outside the bounds of what we're reading either I think that acknowledgement feels really powerful to the young people. I teach who are facing all the things that they're facing. I mean we're all facing them. But i can't imagine what it would be like to be confronting the world that we're all confronting now at that age on the brink of adulthood and independence with so many reasons to be just deeply pessimistic. So i do think that. There's something very painfully real about. What i view as her inability to actually open up herself and be honest. There's this enormous conspicuous omission. That's indicated in the story 'cause keeps trying to lead her to talk about her father and sasha's steadily and resolutely steers him away and why would she so resolutely steer him away from that particular topic. If that wasn't possibly the topic rain she says in that direction only sorrow well. You know you're in therapy honey. Like that's the direction you're supposed to go but she's we know she's not going to. Yeah it's interesting. When i step back from the story and look at what we actually know about. Sasha it's very little you know we know. She used to have aspirations to work in the music industry or to learn japanese and play the harp. We know she's lost her job because she talks about her former boss. We don't know why we know we. She lost her father when she was six. We don't know why We know she lost her best friend. We don't really know why we get these very fleeting glances at our past and nothing really in depth. We just got this present moment. This this one date that's described. Why do you think jennifer egan is so sort of stint with those details. I think that the story wants to immerse us in. sasha in. the story is in an obvious way. It's it's told from sasha's perspective it's not a first person story but it's close third or the subjective third person in which you know we read she and sasha and yet we're only giving access to to sasha's thoughts sashes feelings we never dip into causes perspective seeing her. We never see her through. Alex's is and so you know ican has did you this incredibly difficult thing where she has to immerse us the reader in the subjectivity of this character are protagonist and be true to all of the ways in which this character is being dishonest with herself yet. Indicates us those dishonest easter taking place right We have to know that things are being left out. We have to know that sasha is lying not just to the world but to herself so hard to do But she does it so brilliantly. Here i think through this very systematic inventory of all the things. We don't know deborah when you were kind of listing all the things that we don't know about sasha that's evidence of how well built the story is me is that You know you have to know something to know to what degree you're ignorant of it right. And and so. Eagerness is managing to indicate us in all of these different ways all of these fast realms in which sasha is going to shut the door in our face even the reference to her freelancing when she and alex go back to the apartment. There's that desk where she used to write. Her music reviews less now than it used to be a what happened there again. We don't know they're all these artifacts of this loss life. And in a way i think the brilliance of the conceit of sasha's klepto mania is that these objects help a lot in that storytelling the objects are the artifacts of that loss civilization. The bath salts which are able to show us something that we're never going to truly see. We're never going to see that. Friendship at the bath salts give that indication of once upon a time. This woman had a friend who meant an enormous mounter and that person's gone every object. Does that kind of work. Yeah.

"Magazines archives to read and discuss this month. We're going to hear found objects by jennifer egan which was published in the new yorker in december of two thousand seven. The woman glanced off her soft brown eyes. Moving over. sasha's speights what did she see. Sasha wished that she could turn peer into the mirror again as if something about herself might at last revealed some lost thing but she didn't turn she held still and let the women look. The story was chosen by susan. Choi who's the author of five novels including my education and trust exercise. Which won the national book award for fiction in two thousand nineteen. hi susan. hi so What made you choose this story by jennifer egan to re today. You know a couple of things. One is just that i love the story. And it's so rewards. Rereading i've not just been rereading the straight at teaching it for years now and my students always really connect with it but the other thing is that i i had a feeling it would be really fun to read aloud and it was. The story is about a troubled young woman who steals from other people and is trying to cope with that situation through therapy. Would you think it is in the story that your students connect to they. All is admire the brilliant structure the way in which jennifer egan really enables us to inhabit sasha through especially her description of the objects that tech tilleke and the deliciousness of these objects so my students really admire the writing on the artistry so much but i think also the story speaks to them because it feels really contemporary to them. Because i think this experience of somebody who's broken in this way of it isn't immediately visible but that's really really deep. You know for better and for worse a lot of them really understand that the story was originally written as a standing story and eventually it became the opening chapter of egan's novel. Visit from the goon squad. Did you read it first in the magazine or in the book i read it i in the magazine and then read it in the book and thought it was so remarkable that it was able to function brilliantly. Both by itself and as as the opening of that novel. It's that's not always true. I mean i've. I've loved a lot of stories that then ended up being incorporated into books and thought. Oh i kind of wish the story had remained on its own and in the case of this one it. It is brilliant in both contexts When i teach it usually my students haven't encountered it in the novel and They don't need the novel but it's like an extra bonus to them. Usually a lot of them go on to read it and in the book you learn a little more about sasha's earlier life and about her later life do you think that affects how you now read the story. Oddly it doesn't. I continue to interact with this story on. Its own terms. I don't have that extra knowledge kind of coming in. It's a really interesting thing to me that the story by itself feels utterly complete in that the story in the book also feels like an indispensable piece of something larger And that there's no sort of sense of it being compromised in any way depending on where you're reading it what does some. What has jennifer against writing in general meant for you as a writer. Do you think she's an influence on you. Oh my god. I think she's even more of an influence than consciously realize. It's funny. I love the story. And as i say i've reread the story a couple times a year Since i started teaching it. And when i was reading it just now a number of things popped out at me that i realized i feel like i had pretty much and i'm not sure if this is the place to say it straight up stolen them for my own story flashlight which you published last year. So yeah. I think it's fair to say that her work is enormously influential online and in ways that i'm conscious and unconscious of Let's absolutely positive. Sign for the story that it became absorbed into your psyche. Yeah it became absorbed in the way that you know the stories that i just find indispensable. I can't imagine them not existing and there aren't loads and loads of stories. Like that for me that once i read them they become a touchstone and this is one of them. We'll talk some more after the story. And now here's susan choi. Reading found objects by jennifer egan found objects. It began the usual way in the bathroom of the lasmo mo- hotel. Sasha was adjusting. Her yellow eye shadow in the mirror when she noticed a bag on the floor beside the sink. That must have belonged to the woman who's peeing. She could faintly hear through the fought like door of toilet stall inside. The rim of the bad barely visible was a wallet made a pale green leather. It was easy for sasha's recognize looking back but the peeing women's blind trust had provoked her. I live in a city where people will steal the hair off your head if you give them half a chance but you leave your stuff lying in plain sight and expect expected to be waiting for you when you come back. It made her want to teach the woman a lesson but that wish only camouflaged the deeper. Feeling the sasha always had that fat tender wallet offering itself to her hand it seems so dull so life as usual just to leave it there rather than seize the moment accept the challenge. Take the leap fly the coop. Throw caution to the wind live dangerously. I get it. 'cause her therapist said and take the fucking thing you mean steal it. He was trying to get sasha to use that word which was harder to avoid in the case of a wallet then with a lot of the things she lifted over the past year when her condition s 'cause referred to it had begun to accelerate five sets of keys. Fourteen pairs of sunglasses. A child striped scarf. Binoculars achieved greater a pocket knife. Twenty eight bars of soap eighty-five pens ranging from cheap ballpoints. She'd used a signed debit card. Slips to the aubergine visconti. That cost two hundred sixty dollars online which she lifted from her former bosses lawyer during contracts meeting. Sasha never took anything from stores they're cold inert goods didn't tempt her only from people. Okay she said steal it. Sasha 'cause had dubbed that feeling she got the personal challenge as in taking. The wallet was away for sasha to assert her toughness her individuality. What they needed to do was switch things around in her head so that the challenge became not taking the wallet but leaving it that would be the cure. Although caused never used words like cure he wore funky sweaters and let her call him 'cause but he was old school inscrutable to the point where sasha couldn't tell if he was gay or straight if he'd written famous books or if as she sometimes suspected he was one of those escaped cons impersonate surgeons and wind up leaving their operating tools inside people skulls. Of course these questions could have been resolved on google and less than a minute but they were useful questions. According to cause and so far sasha had resisted..

Susan Choi Reads Jennifer Egan
"Hi susan. hi so What made you choose this story by jennifer egan to re today. You know a couple of things. One is just that i love the story. And it's so rewards. Rereading i've not just been rereading the straight at teaching it for years now and my students always really connect with it but the other thing is that i i had a feeling it would be really fun to read aloud and it was. The story is about a troubled young woman who steals from other people and is trying to cope with that situation through therapy. Would you think it is in the story that your students connect to they. All is admire the brilliant structure the way in which jennifer egan really enables us to inhabit sasha through especially her description of the objects that tech tilleke and the deliciousness of these objects so my students really admire the writing on the artistry so much but i think also the story speaks to them because it feels really contemporary to them. Because i think this experience of somebody who's broken in this way of it isn't immediately visible but that's really really deep. You know for better and for worse a lot of them really understand that the story was originally written as a standing story and eventually it became the opening chapter of egan's novel. Visit from the goon squad. Did you read it first in the magazine or in the book i read it i in the magazine and then read it in the book and thought it was so remarkable that it was able to function brilliantly. Both by itself and as as the opening of that novel. It's that's not always true. I mean i've. I've loved a lot of stories that then ended up being incorporated into books and thought. Oh i kind of wish the story had remained on its own and in the case of this one it. It is brilliant in both contexts When i teach it usually my students haven't encountered it in the novel and They don't need the novel but it's like an extra bonus to them. Usually a lot of them go on to read it

Struggle, Surrender, and Salvation
"Choi you refer to this as not a performance but as a service. So let's start there. Because when i think about a revival i keep talking about the time that we're living in right now as an opportunity to reimagine this country this world that often times when we're at a space where things are breaking open that it is an opportunity for us to create new space and so talk to us about what the revival means and why that title yes. So i'm from the south. A grouping louisville kentucky and i grew up going to these kind of revival sevices sometimes actually intense In the middle of my neighborhood. And when i was looking for something that met this moment i was trying to remember about like times or spaces that i've been in that helping move from you. Know point eight to point b. point a. Being like if i was in a place of like deep pain something that moved me to joy or place of like not being able to see the way forward that moved me to you. Know seeing a clear path and church has always been that for me And also like the christian context that grew up in does not necessarily feed my spirit. In the same way. So i am to Dissect like what is a revival service how what is the. What is the technology. That's being used in. That service. That gets from point a to point b and i found that like all that it really is. Are these songs that are helping us like hold space for our own. Jeremy and so when i titled it the revival. It's about Coming back to ourselves. It's about finding a path to listen and salvation being about collectivisation
