Dean Cain on His Journey From Trailer Park to Princeton to Hollywood
"So dean, your life has been so fascinating. So I wanted to ask you a little bit about just kind of your journey before we talk about more of the news stuff. I saw that you spent some of your childhood in Michigan and then in California. And in high school, when you were in Santa Monica, you were excelling in sports, and you even played some baseball with Charlie Sheen and Rob Lowe. Is that correct? And what was that like? It's mostly correct. I grew up, so I grew up in I was born in Michigan, but I moved to California when I was three. My mom up and took off with her two kids. Her first husband was my biological father. It was not an ideal husband, was philandering and so she left and came out to LA to be an actress with two kids to the Asian kids. And we looked more on my given name as Tanaka. So she came out here with us too, and met and fell in love with my dad. Who she married a year later. And then through a really terrible story actually, a woman was raped and I believe killed in an apartment next to us or right near us. And then the next day myself and a couple other guys, my brother and another couple kids were out playing cops and robbers as they used to back in the day. And I was the youngest and so I wasn't able to have I didn't get to a gun. So I went looking for something and I found the real gun and it was apparently the weapon that was used and that day my dad borrowed, I don't ten, $12,000 from his parents in South Dakota and moved us to a trailer park in Malibu. And I grew up in a trailer park in Malibu, which sounds, you know, like trailer park. Yeah, but it was in Malibu. So we'd spend our days outside all day long on the beach, running around, and I grew up with kids like Sean Penn, Chris Penn Rob Lowe, Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, all those kids were just, we were all just part of this one little Malibu group. I guess all our parents were involved in the business, not all of them, but in some way or another. And so through this weird happenstance, those kids all ended up being actors. Now I played baseball Charlie for a long time. Rob, rob was never the great athlete. Rob even back in the elementary school was just all the girls loved him and he's so pretty. And he loved the girls back. So that was the that was the skinny and rob, so to speak. Charlie very good baseball player. Played on teams with him forever. And then went to high school, Santa Monica high school. And I was a good athlete student. It worked out real well for me. A lot of the kids are madly when they got to Santa Monica worked able to compete at that level, unfortunately. So a lot of the kids stopped playing sports, Charlie continued to play for a while. I don't even know what he did to seeing it if he played a scene here or not. And then I was lucky enough to with my grades and thank you to get the president of the university, had a wonderful career at Princeton. Grew up a lot turned into him and went from a boy to a man there and played very well. I played football. I mean, football ran track and I played volleyball. And then I got a chance to play for the Buffalo Bills afterward, which was great. And got hurt right away. And then it's been acting and directing and filmmaking ever since.

"But do you, does that make sense when I talk about this gnawing? Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I think it's important. It's what in the book we call a nudge. A nudge. Yeah. That either something's missing or you're not doing enough of what you want to be doing, or you might even be doing the wrong thing. Something inside of you is saying Richard wake up here, buddy. Yeah. You need to either change direction or you need to do more of this or stop doing this. That's really important. In fact, ad exists for everybody and it exists for me all the time. And you've got to be you've got to look make sure that you're doing an introspective enough to realize this is a data point and it's a very critical data point. It may not have a lot of logic to it or data to it, but it's something there. And you got to listen to that because it's saying something's not quite aligned or something's not quite right. And try to try to pinpoint what that is. Yeah, I love that you said that. Have you ever read Steven pressfield's a war of art you know who Steven pressfield is? You might want to read that too, because it's in line with what we're talking about here. He talks about it as resistance or calling the angels the mute God universe, something puts something on your heart. Yeah. And it's our obligation to kind of what you just explained it there. Okay, let's do that introspection. What is this nudging? It's a nudging. So he talks about he didn't use the word nudging, but that's what he says. You know, the muse, the angels, God, something the universe, but something on your heart listen to it because in the fear and uncertainty isn't going to go away. In fact, that fear and uncertainties actually is a blessing embrace it step into that void and then something significant is going to happen. To me, that's like with you and your north. And that introspection is getting those elements kind of defined, so I have a it's like my constitution, right? It's my values and principles so that I can make as you said earlier the conversation my decision points so that I'm not ending up in Las Vegas at a craps table at two in the morning because it's not aligned with my it's not aligned with my elements. Yeah. There you go. I love what you're doing Lance. I think it's great stuff man. I do. I was excited to when I got this proposal for you to come and show us, yeah, this is definitely the type of guests I'm looking forward to have on this show. So I just did we talk about everything that we wanted to talk about in this area. I want to make sure that we cover all those bases. I hit, I think I hit all those highlights that I talked about in your book about the oh, you mentioned earlier, I wanted the clarifying point of the taking action. Don't wait for clarity to take action. Am I saying that right? It's like take the action and the clarity comes from taking the action. Am I saying that right? Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. I guess the point is just move. Just move. Move. And if it's a wrong move, fine. That's not a waste. That's right. That's a valuable information. Okay, that's not right for me. The problem is people don't move. They're waiting for this epiphany or this voice from the sky or some great opportunity will show up their doorstep, and it's possible, but it's pretty rare. You might as well start taking more control over your future. Yeah, you know, you think about all those people who have achieved significant things and they've had massive breakthroughs. Those breakthroughs happen by a series of tiny baby steps taken by themselves seem pretty inconsequential. Exactly. And the breakthrough would never happen unless you were taking this baby steps. That's what you mean by just move. And that's why the small steps are the most important thing. All kinds of great reasons for it. How do you sustain yourself when we're taking those baby steps and it doesn't seem like, man, I'm not seeing any light here. I don't even the right forest here. How do you sustain yourself in this kind of dark moments? And it's because of the bigger picture is because, okay, I took the step. It's the wrong step or I'm in the wrong job or whatever it is. And yeah, that could be pretty depressing. But I put it in context of everything. Say, well, look at all these wonderful things I do have. How do I get more of that now? And maybe I can't quit my job today, but if I take these baby steps along the way, I might be able to get into a different career or a different job 6 months from now. Yeah. Yeah. And so it's understanding that it's this. Once you feel like you're on you've identified your path generally and you're on the path and you're kind of moving in that northerly direction. I mean, that gives me a lot of energy to do to deal with the mistakes, deal with the difficulties that I'm facing now because you're always going to run into those difficulties. Yeah. Right? Yep. But as long as I know this is direction, I'm going in the right direction. I need to do a course correction. I think that I think that can give you a lot of energy. I love it. The book is dream and achieve 90 days to life of purpose. Lance, how can people connect with you? How can they download the worksheets all this stuff? How do they connect with you? Well, the best place to just go to the website, which is the WWW dot Lance Tanaka group.

"Message was don't worry about the money, worry about the people. Yeah. And it sounds like this is the way you're wired too. If you can really focus in on what gives you passion, what you're good at, which is I want to make a difference in somebody's life. And you become really focused on that and you become really good at that, the money's got to come. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And when I was reading your book, I saw that phrase that you talked about, don't worry about the what you say say that again, I highlighted it. Don't worry about the money worry about the people. Right. And I've had glimpses of that, even in the last 9 years of doing this show, what I've been worried about the money and it's like I kind of equate it like I'm holding on that steering wheel. You know, when you're driving, if you drive like that, you're not a very and I'm a pilot too. You fly with your fingertips. I don't people don't usually know that. People think that you're like, oh, it's a big machine. You know? You're flying. You're flying with your fingertips like this, you know what I mean? Yeah. It's like a really you gotta feel it. And that's kind of how I quite what you're talking about. Every time I've chased the money, it never came. And in the panicky decisions and the cash flow is not here. But you do the work. Like you say, I want to see if this is true to you too. If you sit down and do the work like you're talking about and you do the kind of the three day plan and do this. The universe seems to move somehow. It does because again, depending on what you believe, I believe I'm on this earth for a reason. Right. I don't think this happens stance. There's a reason. And so I think the best way to be in touch with your purpose is to understand who you are. Exactly. This is what I'm strong at. This is what I love to do. This is what brings joy to me. These are my values. This is my experience. And if I'm able to kind of pull all that together and get that into my life, my everyday life where I'm doing stuff that I'm good at, I'm managing around my weaknesses. I'm doing things that I love to do and yeah, it's a long day, but wow, you know, I'm feeling great about it. I think you're going to be incredibly successful. I agree. And I can't tell you lancer. When I was reading the book, I was highlighting it was my wife was still asleep, and it was like 5 in the morning. I was just reading. I was like, oh, yeah. And one of the things you said, too, was that I believe wholeheartedly and I love to see it in your book. When we're talking about these things, and you're quoting from another book, but your whole point was, look, stop putting in, stop trying to fill in things that you're not good at. You know, I tell this to my clients all the time when I'm working with them one on one. It's like stop focusing on your weaknesses and trying to fix that weakness. Because it's like the pareto principle, right? Or that last 20% of the last 10% you don't get the return on investment. You put so much energy in, and you're never going to be media, you put it in your book. It's like you're going to be average or mediocre at best. Yeah. And if that's what you're striving for, fine, but if you want to strive for greatness, focus on your strengths and then augment your weakness some other way. What do you think when you hear me say that? Oh, absolutely. And as we go through life, people companies, bosses tend to focus us on our weaknesses, saying you're not good at this. Fix this? Well, yeah. There's a reason why I'm not good at it. My brain is hardwired for that weakness. And for me to fix that, it's going to take great energy, great time, great commitment, and I might be able to move it a couple degrees, but am I going to be able to turn into a strength unlikely? So why not take most of that energy and push it towards this is what I'm good at. This is what I love to do. I would get trained if you work for a company. I would get training to something I'm good at. Yeah. Not what I'm weak at. Oh, that's so true. And I tried to, yeah, that's why I love that, right? And it kind of feeds into you talk about the Parkinson's law too. It's the same thing. And I think it ties into, like, well, I don't have time and you gave a great example in the book for like, well, okay, let's say you're working 70 hours a week. And first of all, define define the Parkinson's law, then we'll talk about that example. What is the purpose? This is a really cool law that nobody's ever heard of. It's Cyril northcote Parkinson, a British historian and writer. And he wrote this law cup Parkinson's law, and it basically says work expands to fill the time available to complete it. And so that means if we're given a task and we're given two weeks to complete it, we'll get a certain result. But if we were given that same task and given three weeks, 50% more time, the result will still be the same. Right. And we think that, oh, I'm going to next week. It's going to be that much more better or whatever, and you're like, nope, you're going to get the same result. Exactly. So if you understand that this law kind of naturally exists, you can kind of reverse it and say, okay, I'm working 70 hours a week on average. Well, if I work two or three hours less a week, it's gonna have no impact on my business results. But if I take those three hours and I put it towards my children my spouse, my hobbies, get three more hours of sleep. Right. That will have significant. Impact you jump back. That's about right. And that's what I loved about it because as I've kind of framed it in the past or trying to explain it, it's like it's a difference between.

"You've got a three year plan three month plan three month plan in a three day three day plan. And that got me excited because now I'm like, okay, why don't I want to work with these professional men these type of companies this or that my three month plan would be like, okay, I'm gonna reach out to 40 companies over the next 30 days or three months. I'm gonna contact 40 companies and do this that. And then my three day be like just thinking about how get the Chamber of Commerce contact lists or you know that shows all the guy that I'm just thinking just brainstorming. Exactly. Could I be like, next three days, I'm gonna go get the Wichita Chamber of Commerce every year they put out a Wichita business journal puts out a manual with all these lists of companies and people and it has contact. So I'm gonna do that. So that's something I just do, right? And then another three days I do something else. Okay, now I'm going to write, that's it. Yeah. That's it. I mean, people really struggle with their purpose, but the reality is the approach to get in is fairly simple. It's baby steps, right? Yeah, identify your elements, drill down for specificity and then take action now. And if you can start developing this discipline to take a little action every three days, you'd be amazed what will happen after even a couple weeks. It's the compounding effect. It seems like you do those. It's kind of like even like I've noticed even a lot. I got discipline. I got away from it. And I'm like, you know what? I need to get better on that work. Like, one of my goals is I got to expand, you know, my connections. And it seems overwhelming. You're like, oh God, there's all these people that I want, you know? I mean, I've interviewed 500 people on the show in 9 years and I'm like, why aren't I constantly reaching out to these 5? I'm like, why am I being so stupid? I'm always looking for the next guest. I'm like, how come I'm not nurturing these 500? And so that's why I started doing and I was like, God, that's a lot of people, but then I said, you know what? Every day I'm going to get up. I'm going to do 5. I'm going to reach back to 5 people that have been on this show and just see how they're doing. And then I'm going to read and then the next day, I'm going to do 5 people that I'd like to have on this show. So that's Tuesday. Yeah. And then there you go. Just by doing that, that generates a whole bunch of activity Wednesday Thursday and Friday. And then I repeat it again and it's amazing, just in two months. I mean, just like the lunch, the lunch meetings that I have, hey, I was thinking about you on doing this. It's just amazing that type of stuff that can happen just by taking the baby steps. Anyway, sorry, I didn't mean to go on. I was just trying to get the problem at all. But it's a perfect example that demonstrates that you understand it, and you're going to see as you do it, it's going to have an impact in your life. Yeah. I was thinking about this, and I would admit, I'm kind of at that inflection point of like, okay, what do I do with this? And I've done a lot of things. I've done the coaching, I've done the consulting and doing this show. But my wife and I were having dinner the other night and she's like, well, were you most happiest? I said, I'm so happy. Where am I right now? It's like putting on a comfort pair of blue jeans. I love sitting behind this mic. I love how the mixer the switch is. I love having these conversations with people like you. But then what do I do with it, right? And that's why I'm excited about taking your work because I think that will give me the alignment and clarity. He's like, okay, I have to do this no matter what I do. And I think in the past I was going, okay, I'm going to do this so I can do this to get the high paying client. And I think I'm looking at it wrong that way. Do this, and for me, the overarching purpose lands is like, and I try to tell us to my kids. It's like, don't overthink the purpose the purpose is to make the place better than you found it. I think overarching, it's to serve. I mean, that's mine anyway. My overarching is I want to serve and I want to make the place better than I found it. And that gives me juice. Well, let me tell you a story that. This is a personal story. When I first started my company 20 years ago, I was struggling. You know, as you know, it's an entrepreneur. It's almost for a year or two are really tough, right? Right. And you're like, you don't know where the cash flow is coming? Yeah, all that. Exactly. So, you know, what I was doing is every time I met a perspective client, I would start calculating my brain to charge this much and maybe make this kind of money. And it wasn't going well and then one day, I'm sitting in a hot tub after a workout. There's nobody in that room. And this, I don't know if it was a voice or a message. You know, I'm a Christian, so I'm thinking maybe it's a message from God. But it could have been anything. But that message was crystal clear..

"Get on with it. Let's talk to Lance Tanaka. Here, I'll go to leadership. Will Lance man. I'm so excited to have you on those leadership. Welcome, my friend. Oh, I'm excited to be here. Yeah, when we were people don't know this, but we were talking almost ten minutes before we started the recording and we're already already captured some great stuff before we started recording. So I know this is going to be a fun conversation. I look forward to it. Man, we and I have a lot of similar interests and I got to tell you I finished your book this morning and dreaming achieved 90 days to life of purpose. I've been talking about purpose a lot recently and it was interesting because you coached at the highest level. You coach a lot of senior executives. And I guess I was kind of surprised to see that these a lot of these folks these men and women are still searching for purpose. It seems like you would reach the top and but I guess I guess we shouldn't be surprised, but I guess I was. What do you say to that? Yeah, I mean, a lot of people, it's a surprise, but you know, I've worked with over a thousand executives now and a very, very high percentage of them struggle with this concept of purpose. And the reason being is like most of us and this is true of my earlier life is I was I was defining success in terms of water two elements. What I call elements. And that's usually money or position title, right? And it's nothing wrong with that. And that's what I was searching after. And striving for, but what I've discovered in working with people over all these years is that most people have between 7 and 9 elements that they need to have in their life to be successful fulfill purposeful. And it needs to be integrated. And that's one of the problems that we find with executives is they don't integrate all these elements. That they may be achieved the one or two at the expense of a couple. Yeah, I mean, I'm certainly guilty of that. I think certainly people have coached too, and even talking to my daughters now and you know, and they're like, why do something what I want to do with my life? And you're like, I keep telling them, I think you're overthinking it. And I know I was, and you talk about it in your book and I think it's because we, as you describe it in your book, it's like stop chasing true north. True north. Yeah. And I when I read that this morning and I was like, that was me, and so talk about that kind of concept of pursuing true north as opposed to generally going in a northern direction. I think that's the favorite part of the book. I just want to get that out of the way. Great. And this is actually for some people they struggle with this concept. But when they get it, it changes everything. Yeah. Because I was, you know, I was doing this when I was younger. I was pursuing true north. And true north is that one thing. You know, that ultimate career or position or whatever, say, when I get that, that's everything. Here's the problem. One, you may never be able to define it. Right. Two is that maybe okay, you can define it. And maybe you get there and you realize, oh, this isn't exactly a lot. Right? Right. Three, it's only it's very limited. It's only one position. Yeah. Right? That's it. If there's no other position that, you know, it exists for that. And then fourth to me, which is probably the most devastating of them is that we all have a tendency to act only after we understand the direction. Yeah. Oh, isn't that true? And it's like, it's almost like that's an excuse for us not to take action, you know? It's kind of like the definition of procrastination. It's like, well, if I just, I'll take the action once I have this certification. Once I have this amount of money, once I have this approval from this, whatever. And you just never take action because you're waiting for the perfect moment to execute the perfect plan, and that's just not reality. Exactly. And so that's what we're trying to teach people in the north. And if people really get this idea, it changes everything. Because north, you could be 13° west and it's still north. You're still in the right direction. 12° east is still north. And so what we want people to do is populate their north, understand their north. And again, typically we find 7 to 9 things. I have 9 that are in my north, and this really covers my whole life. This covers my personal life, my religious life, my professional life. And what you do is once you understand what those things are, you can start taking steps now right now. Yeah. And then move a little bit west or then maybe course correct and move a little bit east. But you're still going north. And what happens is that you get more clarity around what you want and who you are and your purpose as you take the steps. And then it gets you it's moving you in that direction. So you are starting to get all these 9 elements into your life in some way. Share with us, I love this. Share with us your 9 elements because and you have this graphic in your book where it's like an inverted pyramid. It's like a triangle where you're kind of at the bottom and the north is the general direction of north is kind of this wide base of this pyramid or triangle at the top, right? And you're 9 elements are in there..

"Now, here's your host, Richard Ryerson. You know, we all want to be happy. We want to have these fulfilling purpose driven career, healthy, happy, loving relationships, financially secure, but this happiness seems to loot us a lot, right? We often don't see our purpose. We seem to lack direction. We may know our dream but fill its too far away to achieve. The bottom line is we don't know what first steps to take. That's why I was excited to have on my show today Lance Tanaka. He is the master coach founder of managed director of the lands Tanaka group. And I tell you man, this guy has consulted some of the best of the best, providing executive coaching all around the world, multinational local companies, since 2001, Lance's accumulated over 17,000 coaching hours from executives in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea. All over Asia, over 800 CEO partner managed director level executives from top global firms over 500 from the top professional service and financial firms. He knows his stuff and he's got a great book out there. I say this all the time, but I only highlight the books that I read and really enjoy, and this one dream and achieve. 90 days to a life of purpose. There's something unique about this. It's written so well. So practical gets right down to the brass tacks about how to kind of do the work, start the work to start identifying your gifts so that you can kind of work in your passion, leveraging your strengths, living your purpose. I've settled a few times on this show that I think in some of these past conversations. I do think we overthink this purpose side of it, right? And sometimes we get too narrow and Lance does a great job in his book, and we talk about it in here, particularly what he calls true north. So many times we sit down and it becomes overwhelming because we're trying to find our true north or this narrow kind of goal or dream. It has to be so specific and what Lance does in this conversation explains to us and he does so in his book, dream and achieve. Let's just generally move north and to generally move north you have to understand what are those kind of elements as he talks about it here in this show, there's elements that are so critical to you in all those aspects. And when you know what those 7 to 9 elements are, now you've got some clarity and alignment about where you need to go. And instead of true north, you've got this gentle north direction, now you can start living a life with purpose, building a discipline of what needs to be done taking the steps. The specificity of specificity of who what where and when of each of those elements, it's such a good book guys. I'm so excited. I read the book and I'm starting to do the work now, the worksheet. And it's something unique and I highly recommend it. And listen to this episode and then go check out his book dream and achieve 90 days of life of purpose really good stuff.

The plan says quote building on the president's announcement in july to strengthen safety requirements for unvaccinated federal workers. The president has signed an executive order to take those actions. A step further inquire all federal executive branch workers to be vaccinated. Now when you look into some of the commentary regarding this vaccine mandate it's stunning to see how the propagandists in the media. They're not just at war with the unvaccinated which by the way every person starts out unvaccinated like a normal breathing healthy functioning individual. It's the new social caste system you star on yourself. You are the unvaccinated get over here. You're not allowed to our restaurants. You're the unwashed which many of most of whom by the way are black people so here you see again the racism of white liberals in the ruling class that want nothing to do with black people hispanic people but this one clip from sheryl gay stolberg where she says.

Llosa learned a lot about bank regulations.

"Sweet. Ui makes it easier to for to decide to all apple breath funds so for for the iphone for the in also to me and i think on the mac specifically the the components had a more native lukens few ban what we get when we use a catalyst for example. Right right yeah. I think that's a very important point because it's a it's a theme that i've really seen developing over. The last few years is apple kind of moving away from developers being you know. Ios developers or mac developers and really just being platform developers across all of the different devices at the company makes and to make that really a reality. There are a lot of things that have to happen. And that's that's kind of what we've been seeing. I think through things like catalina and big sur on the mac side is making it a lot easier for people like yourself to bring those apps that have been successful on the iphone. The ipad over to the mac and i think in the end. It's not only good for you. Obviously who who was selling apps on those platforms but also the users have a consistent experience across all these platforms. I have to laugh a little bit when you start explaining about table views and things. It's it's remarkable to me that table view performance has been an issue since day one with the iphone. And it's one of those things that i don't know that people who use an iphone necessarily understand the complexity of what's happening when they scroll through a long list of cells of data whether it's you know addresses and phone numbers or it's a list of albums and artists like in your app or whatever it happens to be but there's a lot that's going on a lot of coordination happening behind the scenes to refresh all those cells pulling the data and get it all displayed quickly so that it's it looks like one endless list to the user when in fact it's really nothing of the sort and it is something that i think is set. The ios devices apart from the very beginning is that even when we had the very first iphone the performance of those of those things was quite good compared to what might have been possible on other devices by other manufacturers at the time.

There's also a few other improvements in the api for example now we can easily find a corresponding resources by using an id so for example. If i read it some some album in the user library i can easily get the equivalent album Music catalog and versa and also a lot of other modern improvements in search in other methods. Do i the now.

Api for an app that i worked on and that api is basically never changed and you can still get music information from it. But but can you give me an idea of how music kit for instance or the the ability to hook into apple. Music has improved the situation for someone like you. Who's building your apps as compared to what may be the i tunes search. Api does because the i tuned search api which is also used for apps and all sorts of other things is pretty basic stuff in terms of just returning back a dictionary of jason values that that define what the different meta data is for particular piece of media. What what's different about these these modern. Api's is that you're using that. Make your app better. So i think it's easier east pumping above us. Keep the for example. It's.

"Discovery as well. Yeah exactly this is like exactly what i do us will l like when i just wanna listen to an album at and do nothing else right. Just listen to some music and focus on that. I think it's fine to explore the people behind a music c. The producers see who played you know a particular instrument and sort of make connections and discover more songs but from a technical perspective so for context for listeners or not aware of music smart so you use it from the so you can either use the app so you you open the app and you browse your you connect your music library and you can browse your music library inside of the application itself or you can use the share sheet right. There's an extension that you've you details for any song from apple music. I believe from the music cap not from spotify. If i'm not mistaken you need to be using the music app and used the extension and then you. You rely on a bunch of different web services to make all of this possible. Is that correct. So the way that works is that when using apple music can use the action extension as you said he also works with spotify as well but i haven't implemented this yet so because when we are using the music at the Existential show Receives the linked to the music that the user earliest into so we stepped that I know The information about that song and using some pieces of death of data. I start a bunch of our network requests to search for the days that might have this credits information about it song and then i get everything and arranged to so to. The user may organized its way. This could also work with spotify but it's a demand baby the acting the app. It's on my my least thanks to do for pitcher. These nice in the alzheimer's these off..

Nbc into the music. sometimes. I'm curious when i listen Some news that. I like about who work on that music. Who produce it or who ride to the and so well and it's interesting because the on apple music and ospar fight. We have almost no details. This this is information so we kinda came to naturally this idea of trying to develop an app to integrate do this this streaming services re some database that could have Where could find this information. So it's interesting to to know who work on the music and also to as a way to discover new music from the people that created this music that you like so for example. I'm constantly when these into song. I open expired to know for example who produce the south and also choose. See other other solves. That's the person worked with all. So i think it's very useful for music.

Judaism Unbound
Karaites: Bible Only, Please with Shawn Lichaa
"Is someone that we've wanted to have on the podcast for a long time. But we're trying to figure out the right place and we realized that we were starting this series on the bible. We thought this is the right place to have a discussion with somebody who is a leading voice within the community. That's a group of jews that basically it doesn't accept one of the key pillars of rabbinic judaism. Which is that at mount sinai when moses was given what we call the torah by god the written torah moses was also given an oral torah at the same time by god and that oral torah was preserved for hundreds and hundreds of years until some period after the destruction of the second temple when it was written down initially as the mishna and then over time in additional ways as what we call the talmud and the carrots represent a group of jews. That didn't believe that there was an oral tradition. Given at mount sinai that was if basically equal magnitude as the written torah in the bible that the written torah their written bible has a much more significant. Or perhaps i should say supreme significance in what we understand judaism to be what we understand god to one of the jews etc. The percentage of jews. That are carrots has waxed and waned over the course of the last two thousand years of jewish history. It was much much bigger in the middle ages. And of course here in america when we talk about the various groups of jews that there are people think about you know the nominations orthodox conservative reform reconstructionist renewal but often. Don't really think about carrots largely. Because it's a small community here in america and our guest today is working to preserve its traditions and make them available for study or consideration more widely. We're really excited to have this conversation today. With lisa who a leading voice in the carrot community he is a board member of the carrot juice of america and founder of the carrot. Press in the a press self-description they say our mission is simple. When kerry literature ceased to be commonly available the jewish world lost a tremendous amount of scholarship exegesis in diversity. Students have jewish theology and history lost access to a rich heritage and carrots themselves. Were no longer. The masters of their own intellectual heritage. The karaoke press aims to change all this and they publish a combination of translations of older care a literature as well as more contemporary ratings. Sean leash himself is the founder of a blue thread a jewish blog with a threat of right throughout and he speaks widely about carrot judaism at venues across america including synagogues jewish the library of congress the association of jewish libraries. And now judaism unbound so sean lee shia welcome to judaism unbounded so great to. Have you excited to be here. We're excited to have this conversation We've been talking about the bible in this series and it's interesting to now move from talking about the bible too. Well what people do with the bible. So i think that some of us have a very unsophisticated understanding of them and some of us have an extremely unsophisticated understanding of other. So i would say that. The thing that i know is basically that i think it's it's worth saying because i think people may say that says strange sounding word that actually in hebrew aramaic like kara means to read so as also a way of talking about the torah. So my understanding is that it's people who really don't believe that the judaism that emerges from the time after the bible is is accurate you know and so really what we should be doing is going back to the bible so now take me more sophisticated than that. There is judaism after the bible. And that judaism is correct. Now the question is like what does is and what does correct me. maybe i'd give you like one nuance to what you said. But it's a massive paradigm shift in what most people think about judaism. There is a written law and there is an oral law. Right so god. According to this form of gave the written torah and oral torah explaining it carrot judaism does not believe that god gave an oral law carried using god gave a written torah. And that's what the carrots follow. Now we also have the entire hebrew bible. That's tanaka and we use that as a source of our laws and understanding difficult times and biblical precedent. But we definitely believe that there is a judaism. Astor the tanakh after the bible closes. And let's talk about what that means every day for everybody. When did this split happen or did it happen. Multiple times between those. Who believe that the that there is an oral and that there isn't so look from a theological perspective right and like we. Carrots would say there was never an oral law and or the people who decided to follow the law broke off away from. What's carrots would say was true and these words very lucy. True historical israelite israelites. Judaism but definitely in the second temple. You see lots of different juice groups in the middle ages. The issa whites the whites anna nights the rights. You're the nights all these different jewish movements in all these different places in all these different times. So yes i think the answer. Your question is that there are many different times where judaism came apart came back together. Came apart came back together. And maybe i should rephrase that instead of saying we're judaism cap came back to but maybe the people who ascribe to judaism have different views at sometimes are more divergence from each other or sometimes came closer to each other so i really want to sit with what you said to start that which is from a care perspective the rabbinate. We haven't used that word yet. But the rabbit nights branched off and followed a new oral law. That had that was not from a care perspective sort of from the divine and i want to sit with that. Because i think there's such a deep way in which even those of us who aren't like orthodox rabbinate jews. We've we've sort of soaked into us that like Judaism of judaism this idea of an oral tradition. You know tomlin that's sort of. There's even for people who don't go to synagogue very much. They might not know what talmud is in deep way but like there's that original document and then there's all these things later that eventually i written but the idea. They're circulating around as oral teachings and they sort of are given the status. That's maybe a slight bit lower than that written doc. Foot and in many ways equal to that original document and sometimes we would even argue as judaism unbound like the newer stuff kind of replaces the torah ways in which there are correctives made from a rabbi perspective in those talmud texts in other texts that sort of change what the torah or other biblical texts are say. This word rabbinate is not a word i had ever heard until i met you but like i i'd love to talk about like there's a term rab night that exists. Wants you back out and say There are other kinds of judaism. If it's almost like we've had conversations with people were like the phrase white jew comes up like if you think all jews are white. It's a silly thing to say. White jews right. It only makes sense. When white jews is a a subsection of broader group of jews similarly the term rabbinate only make sense. When you recognize there are other kinds of jews like carrots. So i'd love to hear from you sean. Like what is it to sort of inhabit a judaism that people don't even know as judaism ism that like is is so fundamentally erased like the terminology that we have is built around. Its own existence when you zoom out and you think judaism and then you kind of say. Oh wait a minute. What's what is rob nights. Era nights jew is somebody who follows the rabbinic tradition so keira heights or are jews. Who follow the curator. Kerr carry tradition In this case. It's a bible based and not tom based tradition juice. Follow the rabbinic tradition. So that includes the entire hebrew bible and all of been literature. Now you've mentioned this question about like never having to think about what it means to be around nights in one thousand. Nine hundred seventy nine and haddassah magazine jewish traveller section a. Rabbi his name is rabbi borrow helmand. He traveled to cairo egypt and he was studying arabic in cairo egypt. Now i'm gonna put a little bit of a notes here in my family comes from the jewish community of cairo. So back to this right. He's he's traveling to cairo. And he's there and he's learning arabic and he is telling his muslim arabic teacher. I cannot come to class on chabad. Because i'm an observant jew. And i won't be the muslim teacher asks in a very comforting friendly voice. Basically what kind of jew are you. Are you a carrot or a rabbi nights and this rabbi tells us. That's the first time you ever had to identify as around nights. And the truth is that unless you are living in egypt and the last century probably no other place in the world where the carrots were prominent enough where somebody would have to say. Are you to revenue.

"This is. This is more to the point why. I didn't want brett gardner. Not that i didn't want record this team. I like brett gardner yada yada gotta throw in. But couldn't frazier deserves to be the starting left fielder for the new york. Yankees and brian cashman essentially said well if he doesn't say that it brings in the ambiguity. Whether it's gardner whomever it is. It doesn't matter who it is. They need to say that because because honestly the way that he did rebound the way that he came back from off the field stuff just like you know he was. He was vilified by by the media. Essentially he did some dumb things but he certainly took steps in becoming much better baseball player. A hell of i mean. He was in the running for a defensive a a gold glove last year. Kogo crazy so he. He went one eighty defense with way that people think about him and you know he just handled himself very well and he and he played well so you. He deserves the job not to mention. He's a young guy coming up who's got all the ability to get better. He needs the reps as well so that he can find himself what he's truly going to be as he's getting into the peak years of his career a guy like brickner should never be in the way of that ever whether it's in your mind or or physically on the field. Did you should not be that way. I think that brett gardner is going to be more to the point of like for some reason you thought the mayhew was going to drag on to- spring training brett gardner. This is set up beautifully for that. Brek owners not gonna get a job anywhere else. He's going to either go with the yankees or he's just gonna you know not retire probably but not sign and he's going to be on the farm for the entire year or he's going to be ready for the yankees to call him in the middle of spring training and say let's go and it's going to be for the minimum and he's gonna come in and play a role you think he'll play for them and i've heard it'll be i'm sure they'll they'll make some little the fluffy deal to that'll be that'll be That'll look better it will. It won't be insulting and it will stay under the make sure that everybody's in good position with the The finances but they just don't need to get it done right now. I don't think why do you think he wouldn't get a job anywhere. I could see both a raise or the blue jays giving him a caucus guys like gardner right now are just. They're not. Nobody wants to pay a guy like this anything. They'd rather give it to get up paying over your so that would do for your organization. I don't see. I mean maybe he will. Maybe i'm wrong here. But i i think that the way that we've seen baseball trending and the way that money has not gone to these Middling veteran guys. They just haven't been getting contracts like at all. There have been guys sitting out because they're not getting the interest anywhere. The teams are rather put a younger guy in there and see if they can build some built some equity with a young guy. That's overplaying what he's the what they're paying for them and at least there's some upside there. There's upside for brett gardner for another team. No you wouldn't be doing it for years of battling a bad week. He's going to be nobody. What is going on the team anymore. Yeah and i guess like wh who was it David doll knee. Get like two and a half million bumped up. Yeah exactly so. I just don't see the more upside guy. He's more upside is younger than gardner. He's a at this. Point is a better player than gardner. Gardner has more leash as a new york yankee more more value as a new york yankee than anywhere else. I certainly argue. So yeah. that's still the case. Obviously okay so so. Maybe you're right. Maybe maybe a tenth we hear. Oh brett gardner came in to yankees camp. He signed he signed for the minimum or he signed for a million bucks. Surprise me. Rosins surprise me. Gardner was a camp like unsigned and he's just like coming in work. And you just shows up in the park and then it's just assume that that's going to happen. Potentially and he's gonna be but they're gonna. They're making it very clear right now. They're making sure that the media understands this all the fans understand what's happening is that so you know cashman saying we liked the roster here the way it's going right now. I could see us walking into the season like this clinton guy all the positive things about him all the support right there and then if if gardner does come on and afterthought it's a it's a depth peace and you know what i'm fine with brett gardner if he's the fifth outfielder. I'm totally fine with that. My problem if brett gardner is resigned then unfortunately because his name is brett gardner and he's been here for twelve years for whatever reason he's going to get more playing time than he deserves. That could still happen. Even even everything. I just said happens is well because once you get into the season and you're on the you're in the clubhouse in the dugout you know aaron boone. Looks around. he sees his guys brecher inserts. Getting getting hot. You know pulling some matt holliday Getting swollen and hidden bombs into into right field. Never know i. But i think there are anointing right now. Could frazier is the starting left fielder which key deserves and good for him. And the doozy comments. Brian cashman amid were about gary sanchez. And the fact that he did that. Espn interview about a month ago. Saying that the yankees never talked to me about why why. I was benched. Brian cashman fires back with..

"Fourteen stephen drew for kelly johnson blah. Son of a bitch nineteen ninety-seven the yankees traded a player to be named later in tony. Our mr boston for randy brown. Who had never heard of mike stanley And then the yankees set. Jim messer zero trade. He was a middle reliever ninety four. They're right you're you're like twenty seven and nineteen. So that's what my bet for knows before. So my memories decent the were you. Actually twenty-seven what year was this. I wasn't even listening to you. Nineteen ninety seven. I was seventeen right. yes you are. Thank you for the admission. The he's purchased the something. The name by the name of scott bankhead from the red sox nineteen eighty-six the yankees traded. Dodd baylor to the red sox for mike easier then nine hundred seventy two names. Don bailer is a player. Mike east learn. How did we not know the red sox. Nineteen seventy-two traded sparky lyle to the yankees for a player to be named later. I mean sparky. Lyle turned into a cy young. Relief pitcher for the yankees. I forgot about that one I've heard i had heard that when you said it. It rang a bell head as as as true my time. Now not gonna go. I'm not going to date myself before my time. So out of will inevitably come into a big situation against the yankees. This year facing judge stanton void sanchez. Throwing frisbee sliders. And i just hope that they don't swing at them. I swear to god if they swing at them. I'm gonna. I'm gonna do something terrible because all they have to do is not swing the bat. It's it and nobody will get a pitch. They will get a or they will walk. One of two things will it. And then shortly. After that trade the yankees signed darren o'day to one point seven five million in two thousand twenty one with a one point four million player option in twenty twenty two or seven hundred thousand dollar buyout so basically the yankees have committed three point. One five million to darren o'day so they offload eight point one five million for auto and they commit three point. One five million to darren o'day who's been very good in his career but has also had some injury issues the last couple seasons and he's thirty was he's he's not young is i mean i'm not saying this is a bad move by any means like it's it's a cheap move and he could be a quality reliever but the bullpen could be an issue. I really do think we're going to start. We're gonna see some young kids up there. And i think that they're gonna. I do think that they're going to change some rolls around. They have a lot of firepower. That bullpens still. i'm not worried about the bullpen. i'm really not. I'm not worried about chapman. Not worried about britain. And i'm not worried about chad green. That's three guys to years ago. We had six guys that we had full confidence in. No it's true and and look where it got us hasn't hasn't gotten us anywhere close to anything so i'm fine too right. Maybe it was. Maybe it was the wrong thing for the yankees at the time to rise relying too heavily on there. It was the wrong thing because they they did. They structured during tire team around the a frequent bullpen. Which is back as words. So it's not a right way to do it this year. At least through and a whole bunch of starting pitchers granted there either old broken or potentially broken or coming back from major personal problems. The horrible guys. He's got elbow problems shoulder. Problems for on problem but violence problems. Unbelievable when you look when you look up and down like dr some kids i. I've brought him up a few times. But nick nelson impressed me. At the end of the year. I can see him stepping up and being A good piece in the bullpen. I know he's got the you know he's he's been stretched out to be a starter as well but i see him as a more of a bullpen peace and again i really really really hope they can find the why ziga and put him in a position to succeed. And that's probably one inning. Let him be a one guy. Let him master to pitches and just be dominic it. Because he's got he's got the stuff for it for sure. I could see him taking that chad. Green stuff this year. Yeah there's going to be more opportunities this year to make roster spots in the bullpen than there have been the past five seasons definitely definitely and and over the way the starting pitching staff the rotation is so deep that not all of these guys are going to be in that rotation you may see towards after the all star break after the trade deadline. Somebody get turned around and put into the bullpen as either a a swing guy or or heck a severino coming in later he may he may come in and be you know a a very integral piece that that is able to go to winnings you know in the the sixth and seventh or the fifth and the sixth and get through the heart of a lineup and then you put in the other guys in the back of the bullpen so it would surprise me if one of those guys that were were talking about right now as a starting pitcher was a was a piece in the bullpen. At the end of the season to there will be injuries as always always injuries ski. You're always going to need seven eight nine start guys to make starts throughout season. That's not going to change the case. And i'm getting more and more excited for clark schmidt in whatever capacity that we see him so if there's a he wasn't on the fan graph projects which i think is a mistake. Finger has been missing. The past to the projections of the american league was stupid. And they've changed that but it was it was a bad projection in the beginning. He's thrown six major league innings. So it's like but you have to look at. I mean there's so many of these considerations that i know you can't go deep in the yankees rotation with their projections..

Cleveland Indians suffer wild-card nightmare in 12-3 loss to New York Yankees
"The game last night, Yankees, and Indians and incredible match basis. You had seen Bieber the guy who's been the best pitcher on the planet this. Year versus Garrett Cole the Best Pitcher on the planet last year we thought they were going to be very few runs well, that didn't turn out to be the case, the gigantic right hand hitter leaning out over the plate from the stretch. The pitch is swaying in a high fly ball into right center field Ed's deep racing back to shields at the wall, and that ball is gone homerun Aaron judge and a quick strike for the New York Yankees they jump out in front on Bieber to nothing. Yet Dj Lemay Hugh had singled and then Aaron Judge Rip Day Homerun four pitches into the game. The Yankees at a two old lead on Bieber. Any never recovered this is what happened in the top of the fifth any gleyber Torres at the plate swing a high fly ball into left center field deep on run Naylor back to the wall looking up and that ball is God. In his Outta here it just snuck out off the top of the wall out gleyber Torres with a two run homer. And a Yankees keep slugging away they lead it seven to two. That call from OBI, the Great Obi Dave, O'Brien on ESPN radio the Yankees go on to win twelve to two in game on Garrett Cole was fantastic. He had thirteen strikeouts. No walks. He's a second Yankee pitcher with ten plus strikeouts in the team's first game of the postseason hall of. FAMER. Red. Roughing at ten strikeouts in Game One, the nineteen thirty, two world series against the cubs and with thirteen strikeouts walks Cole also match Tom seaver game one of the Nineteen seventy-three and LCS for the most strikeouts in a postseason appearance without issuing. A. Walk the AKC's four homers in this game tied for the second most in a playoff game. In franchise history, they had five homers in game four of the nineteen twenty eight world series against the cardinals. So when you can match numbers going back to the world series from Nineteen thirty two and nineteen twenty eight says a lot about how much yankees dominated in Game One Garrett Cole talked about his first postseason start with the Yankees. Now there was a lot of fun I mean it was a really complete team day my thought that. The middle innings when. They scored we responded with. Sizeable lead which. I thought was kind of allow them Try Not allow them to get some momentum through news dunes and. We keep on defense become elite runners lean offers off. The bags which was kept a pitch count down and we swap bats really well, and I joined myself so a nice that. You also talked about setting the tone. We need to set the tone for the series and You, know. I'm obviously very painful ambled gable to take the ball in this position So to be able to deliver feels really good and and obviously with my son area thrown felt pretty good too so. Yeah I would say I would say it definitely. was definitely a special night. But especially this year, we allow more baseball to to win so honestly celebrate to get stuff and and And showered off and come back to Marlin through all during the sixty game season Bieber did not allow more than three runs in any starting in this game he allowed seventy talked about his struggles after the game Yes. I felt. Extremely prepared coming into the start just like every other start, the season and. Fell behind first hitter and and that I obviously didn't go as planned. I felt like overall looking back at the outing. Objectively. Just, wasn't as aggressive as I wish I would have been with my ob- speeds of in the zone and maybe some fastballs in and just challenging these guys a little bit more. I felt like I fell behind quite a bit and forced myself into some bad situations and so bad counts, and then you know all that on top of not having my stuff and making mistakes. Amounted to what came out of tonight so No excuses was. It was. Not. The the I start that. We wanted to get out. With and Me personally as well but we got two more games and and cookies go out there and do thing tomorrow and hopefully I'll get the ball back as soon as possible in these three series right away elimination games later today Carlos. Carrasco? Shame. Bieber just referenced the right there cookie versus Masahiro Tanaka

"Everyone welcome to radio. This is Doug Hey and today I'm joined by my good good buddy who is so nice to talk to you sit Garza Helmet said welcome back to the podcast. Doug Nice to be here and thank you for having me on. It. was that was that was that to professional? No wonder. Out He's like, I don't want to be around that kind of anyway. Thank you so much for for for serious is always good to talk to you. Yeah same to you and. Say That anyone who is a longtime listener of the pod or follower up athlete knows exactly who you are. But you know who is said Garza Hohmann who who are you, and why should people pay any attention to what you have to say? Why don't know about the second question but the first question is that I'm. Well. Nutritionists running coach Author of two books and another one that I just finished. It's not out yet. PODCAST Vlogger I direct an ultra marathon. And I run a wellness center at at the Stanford in a nutritionist there and. father husband. That's that pretty much sums it all up. Yeah. You know our other things. That's a lot I do a lot of stuff which is i. think partly of what we're GonNa talk about today, but we'll see where that goes. Yeah I I was so disappointed in this year, we also come back out for the race would have been my. Third Time coming for the senior Costa Fifty K. which is. Without a doubt, my favorite ultra-marathon off there ever is Martin was or will be. I. Guess I can't say that definitively about I, I, can I mean there will never be a better race video It's such a cool race rents along the coast of the Mendocino coast like Northern California cliffs just absolutely stunningly beautiful and then through the redwoods and along this big river out of there, it's such a cool that and. But of course, like everything else it was canceled this year and I was sorry to Miss Miss that option is here. Yeah, I was I was a late hold out like we were getting the news about you know. Groups of fifty sounds like okay. I can do that because all space my runners out Mr groups of twenty five probably can do that. You know, and then finally it was a group of ten and I was like okay and I had to pull the plug and it was really. I took it way harder than thought it would take it. I was very bombed Tanaka the race and. It's come for some reason. The last couple of weeks I think I'm trying to nail down next year's date and everybody who signed up to have a free. You know they have a free entry into next. You basically postponed the race a year essentially, but I'm like drinking coffee out of my Mendocino Coast Fifty K. last few days I've been wearing the hat like. Just around surrounding myself with all things Mendocino. Miss you so much. You know it's It's such a fun. It's like the it's such a thing I look forward to every year and to not have it this year amongst every amidst everything else was just really a bummer. Yeah what what do you think was the most? Disappointing part about if you just about the about the race by cancelling. Yeah. Just because I love the it's such as you know for anybody who's run it they know but I keep the number on purpose. You know have quite a big wait list actually but I, keep the number very tight at one hundred fifty. Because it's really intimate fun and it's become would have been in its fifth year, but there's a lot of returners. So it becomes this thing where it's almost familial. You out there there's traditions that are being built now around the race 'cause it's now it's not in its first year now in its would have been in its fifth and so it's it's a new race but you can sort of see the establishment of traditions in and just seeing people again for the you know that one time per year and it's just it's just I greet everybody when they come. Across the finish line because I keep the numbers manageable and it's just it's just this fun. Fully positive no negative day and even people who drop I've never had a negative person. They always come back and I go I. Miss a stupid thing. You know they get a beer and they walk over to the beach you know like it just so it's all good and I've knock on Wood I've never had. A bad experience around. So it's just it's just a fun thing for me to do. It is a good addition to altering community. Thank you for putting that on. Yeah, my pleasure. All. Right. So we'RE NOT GONNA be talking about the racer. We're not even going to be talking about today we're talking about a productivity and kind of staying focused in the age of that I. Know I have I've worked from home for a long time and you've partially worked from home for a while and so I'm used to this whole working from home thing. But I'm hearing increasingly more from people who from friends and family and stuff who are getting growing increasingly frustrated with the work from home experience and. They're having they're having trouble with productivity. You're having focused missing You know their friends at work and their colleagues and and so even though we're wet like five months into this whole thing and most people are still working from home. We. Thought it'd be good to talk about productivity and to talk about. You know just kind of waste to stay focused and and be efficient but we're doing it in the framework of small steps because you're like the small stuff guy, you might be the og small sips guy. I don't know what are small steps. I'm pretty I'm pretty Oh, Jeez most. Well, my small steps are from most other small steps. So I'm there are people out there talking about micro steps, break everything into two minutes my specific approaches to train people how to set their own well. I'll put this way a small step for me as an is the mindset it's what you view something as small step. So it's not a fixed amount of time in the world. It's just for you if it's a small

Or as we sometimes call it the sears catalog he did it anyway. This episode is going to be a little bit different than normal because it's just a simple conversation between John. Inclined they touch on a number of interesting subjects including Bush's work in the swamps with large format cameras. His recent foray into Sony digital cameras paired with cannon tilt shift lenses and is mind boggling doctrine with vintage in lodgers. They'll also discussing the business models that he and his family employees to market is images his thoughts on black and white versus color and of course his relationship to the Florida landscape escape for which he will be forever. Linked Klein is a true American master. And it's a treat to have him on the beach photography podcast. Let's have a listen. You work the worth almost known for his kind of a process. Heavy work Invasions time working in large format. But let me ask you. Do you feel photography Is is more of a ways or means whether the means be adventure solids money whatever happens to be. Hopefully photography is the adventure through life that you bring happiness to people through your images in my work. I'm trying to bring the environment out the to the public because people big Zoya heavy idea where oxygen comes from yet so we you have to try to convince people that the earth is round round. Last I checked it worse worse spaceship and so we have a finite number of materials here so through my photography people see the beauty mhm Have to get into it too. We're looking at pictures a lot. Lotta pictures not really early Pictures of things feelings of things. Try to draw you in pictures of the really Nice Center. The interest is on the sides. Were you in the reason I might pictures you know. I guess you probably seem into Israel silver prints. They're up to five foot by eight and a half feet. Nine feet in. Nikki showed me the space in the back of the documentary. Yeah and the rinsing in the chemical tables. That's thirty eight foot long sink. Yeah five foot by four foot. Trees actually betrays sinking itself discussion. The jumping ahead. There's so many questions about that. Space that you create in the photo and what you want people to do in that space but while we're there are you know over the past twenty plus years now. We've seen this going away from from analog film photography and Printing when that first started I mean how did you ask yourself any questions. Like how am I gonNA sustain this helmet in a supply myself with these as Kodak shutting down as you you know Ilford is pulling back now. Little resurgence in that but at the time was ever questioned. What you're GonNa do well with digital came out in Kodak's at all we're we're out here? It was getting older is you can't. Is that thirty five millimeter. We're talking about you know why should up to twelve twenty negative Majority the five seventy Enjoys five seven eight by ten some love. Fourteen twelve twenty twelve twenty seven fourteen really silly information. Yeah but it's like it's like when you take a twelve or twenty hours like ticket television set out there ebbing subside down colored collar but at that time. Did you know what I must take my guns. This is what I do is what I love to do a mock going back because you know sales I dunno sales took a hit or whatever or you know those kind of things but it was it ever a conversation to have with yourself or or was it. When I was a little nervous I think it was in nineteen ninety eight? We start doing books. So we've always general books but I was doing that my own scanning my negatives okay so I had to learn photoshop so I could If the picture of the book I tried to teach me photoshop I went to a couple of courses. It was pretty today's picture here so I said I got underway doing this in analog so I figured analog way of doing now I can do ten minutes yeah and what would that. What does that analog method ended? Basically we you like when you burn something you burn. It ingredients a lot with the burn tool okay so in in that. Gradient can change the contrast in that gradient. Okay that's interesting so might have to race a little bit around say on a burning tree. I just raised a little bit around. Make a circle around contrast less contrast. I can do that with a gradient so I could just like what I do now. In the printing we have verbal contrast paper Blue Green Bulbs so I need less contrast the blue off in a burden with green more contrast bring with blue so do the same thing thing a digital album that interesting and what's exciting to me. I finally got the I think I got the right camera to now. I got the new the Fuji F G X one hundred year about it's got sixteen bit. You'll realizing advantage of sixteen bit gradients of it becomes smooth. Yeah Woah and you can't do that fourteen bit again sixteen. This breath camera to me is to automatic. I like the I have the fifty s Has got a little dials here. This was all trying trying like so so but I've had to figure out how adapt my Kansas to it because the apertures is done by the camera so actually Cambo makes an adapter the cameras the Fuji that actually controls the Iris independently of the camera. Yet as he worry about the camera anymore. Tanaka used by lenses. And I can't shoot without having I think this is the poodle relies the the difference of getting four gram laureate Liz. The tilting tilting. The camera down more foreground yet. I lower the landscape. I don't tell camera. Yeah okay so the perspective is correct and it's also different in perspective Natural I'm kind of surprised a little bit to hear the the embrace and the deep dive into you know from the Fuji in as you mentioned the Sony All these things in the digital world. Was this something that you brought to you based on the fact that you needed to physically. Well I'll I tell you the reason I starting bracing. It is because the camp there came out with INC ARCHIVAL PAPER EGO. So unless you have a media that she can print on this going to be around for awhile. I Media Irish printer. It was good for at at least good two months. There was dead because it was used for proof. Lean offset printing needed to so the client the through the weak- Anka in your mind's eye of the print. Maybe excuse me for even asking. This is the final product. I mean when you see what you're looking at. Did you see through the Lens through the landscape to the print at the medicine. Well I do you know you said to see through the Lens I actually everything I do is point shoot. I do not compose the camera. You can't a a little bit. More digital. But with a large format view us a widening the lens of Orange Arch format. You can't see the composition the ground glass to you WANNA to see if it's Focus on the edge have moved over to the left and then yet lowered the riot. So you really can't see the competition so I've learned about the first retro focus. Twenty millimeter lens came in the country in nineteen sixty two. The first Retro Focus Lens was made in East Germany but the flag on Appeal Roy. Milton reflect to got. So I've been using that in wider wider angles ever. Since then I've been wide-angled I mean I've got maybe half dozen shots were taken with different lines. Really I I go from if you relate to Full frame thirty five I go from about ten millimetres twenty

Hacks to Make Your Resolutions Stick
"We have a really special treat today to kick off twenty twenty so I imagine most of us have been making some form of resolution the last decade was about x and the next decade is going to be about why Z.. and Ab and see well in order to accomplish X. Y. Z. A. B. and C.. We probably need some plants some way to execute our goals and dreams our guest today. BJ Fog is going to help us do just that. He is one of the world's foremost experts on behavior. Change and how to start in create habits. That are actually GonNa stick and actually going to work so anybody's diet plan. Meditation plans desires for the future that you want to have in the semi perfect perfect you that will be evolving the beautiful butterflied cocoon that we have been in the last decade. Here's a man who may make some portion of those dreams slightly slightly more true welcome bt are no thank you for inviting. It is my sincere pleasure I question how was your New Year's. Oh my gosh it was. It was in transition. It was good. I mean it's great to start a new decade but my book launch has been planned for in years eve two thousand nineteen three days ago for two years. So there's been and we moved from Maui to California and then moved on here to go work So it's been busy but The books out and the response has been really really grade and so I guess the answer is it's been an awesome way to start this decade. So you've started the decade with your New Book Tiny Habits and today you're going to share a little bit about the methodologies that you recommend in it I yes yes. I'm so excited. So if somebody's GonNa make habit change what's the best way to do. It loaded question the way that we've been taught for decades How the culture thinks about habits most of it is wrongheaded takes us in the wrong direction? I'm excited about sharing is a way to create habits into change our life that works in. It's easy in its task. Actually if you do the right way it and it's not guesswork so I'll breakdown. Some of it goes deeper into some of the parts. But first and foremost start with forming habits that you want in not ones that you feel like you should have new years eve all of a sudden just coming to kick me in the ASS. Yes yes you know. What doesn't doesn't work? You know this is kind of what we've been set up is like okay. You just pick a should something you should do and somehow magically you can motivate yourself itself to get it done. I just don't see any evidence in everyday life research networks long-term but what does work is picking what you want want to the tiny Abbas method Hick habits that you want to be super easy and super small. So let's say you want to read more. Yeah so pare that back to not even read one chapter but read one paragraph or maybe even one sentence and then find where that new habit. The teeny teeny. Tiny behavior fits in your life. Naturally in the tiny habits method. You look for wet Kennett come after so reading for example might right lodge by come really well after you sit down on the train on your way to work then you open. Your book can read a paragraph An obvious one that I talk about the law is glossing comes after you brush so the tiny house arrest beaver. That is after I I will fly and in this case it's one tooth 'cause you parrot back to be super tiny and then there's a the third part of the tiny habits method. Is You wire in the habit by what I call celebrating writing you fire off a positive emotion and that helps us. You know that emotions change how our brain works and in this case of the celebration. The positive emotion helps your brain like remember and want to do that behavior again. So you're basically self-reinforcing but you're not doing it how you're doing it deliberately. You have by now. Thousands and thousands and thousands of people have done this. I know you've watched behavioral change categorically step by step over literally tens of thousands of people to identify bit by bit what makes the most effective habit change. Our do have a study where I had. Some people sell a true experiment where people randomize some people celebrated some people didn't celebrate and clearly different effects. It's a fundamental mental piece. I mean when we look at really any discipline. I live a lot in the world of healthcare in the world of meditation in the world of fitness and each of these worlds. We look at how you create habit a change and the behavioral pieces the hardest part we all know there are things that we should do. That are good for us and we just don't do them. Why don't we eat? Well you know. Why don't we exercise as much as we should know? Amount of information is going to actually shift your behavior and the question always is but what does so. Let's talk about one one other thing that most people listening here care about. And it's thing that people most commonly asked me. How do you start the habit of meditation? Or how do you get yourself to meditate meditate more often. Well this is why I like is this is why before we started recording. I told you what a huge fan I am news. Here's why I think meditation a hard habit to wire factors. Were really busy and but I think as we've talked about what why isn't a habit is the feeling of success. Yes it is so hard for people as they start to meditate feel successful they sit down and they still frustrated. I'm guessing I haven't studied up on you know. I know what what needs to be there for the habit to form and I know in my own experience and you know just casually talking to others not studying got scientifically is people. Just sit down notices. How busy their minds are so? They're not feeling successful. So that's not going to wire the habit what I loved about about us. Was it the little birds chirping those celebrations. You did right. I was getting at permission. I'm getting signalled signalled. I was succeeding. And that was a game changer for me because otherwise I don't know if I'm succeeding when I met a day so tonight you've just actually planned my mind because we knew we were doing it when we built it but we didn't have your thesis that it fell into to validate like. Oh we're doing this because it it is the self reinforcement in this way. The lavelle sort of him so because there's no way I can know that I'm doing something with my brandon brainwaves but what the news you you've you've indicated even even people can tune into like that was really stormy and rainy but now it's getting calmer and they lowered the bar for themselves so that you're not hearing chirping. You're able to calm the rain a little bit. That's great again then. Eventually you'll hear turbines like August. While I threw me because I got so excited I was thrown out but later I could bring them on and it just made me. It helped me feel successful so I have to tell you the chirps. The bird trips are actually also away to undermine the goal directed nature of this and bring back a mindfulness principal so everybody the first time they hear bird. If you don't know what it is just like okay. That was a bird as soon as you know that a bird is reward. You're like Oh my God I got a bird and you get really excited. And then the bird flies away so it is our way to suddenly subtly reinforce the habit while at the same time not getting you totally invested in your awards so you have to become come as invested in your rewards as you are in your failures essentially equanimity to them both in order to actually. That's the that's the subtle. Mindfulness awfulness a lesson that we imbued within. I love that well. I think it's great. I think it's terrific now. If somebody doesn't have that product I think to to reframe what successes as a meditators like just sitting on your mad sitting celebrate the fact that you actually did it and and I think the mistake is an expert on meditation. But if you think I'm GONNA have a coal mine like the Buddhist monk and that's the standard of success years Tanaka wire in the habit so just you have to re frame what success in meditation is so you can achieve that Tillis achievable also. You can deal successful every time you meditate every time and and and I think maybe somebody's done it I haven't mapped it all out but you know the simplest thing might be the fact that you actually sat there. You sat on the Mat and you took three mindful brass Bam. I know before I had views but I really focused on was just can I get three breasts without my mind wandering just three just three and it was hard but that was the standard if I could do it. It's like okay good for me. Let's see if I can do it again. Just three US us without my mind going up so it wasn't like a high bar but it was some way that I could feel successful. Oh but that took some effort. I do like the pink. I love that Adams. If you're trying to meditate call you to gotta how to do. Sit on the cushion. If you've nailed sitting on the cushion all you gotTa do is get three breaths.

The Stephen A. Smith Show
A look at all 16 possible World Series matchups
"Allow with us right now is is EMMA LB Major League baseball analyst insider extraordinaire the great one himself the one and only Kirk Chin who will be in attendance for tonight's Oakland a's Tampa Bay rays one game divisional playoff game. What's going on man? How are you how's everything I'm great Stephen? Even a I'm at a playoff game. It's a winner. Take all situation on October the second this is pretty good stuff. You really really liked this one game stuff don't you. You really liked him. Well what I think it does Stephen Obviously it brings a game seven half. Let's fear to the beginning of October that that game last night was a really good game but it was even better because the poor brewers had to go home after losing and granted. It's really unfair that one of these teams tonight both worked on ninety five or more games going to have to go home after one but it does bring increased integrity to the regular killer season. It makes those hundred sixty two games so important so you don't have to play in this game but the fact that the loser goes home home makes it. It has a level even high. I gotTA admit him. I'm very shocked by that position that you take because you are one of the most fair minded people I've ever known on and to go to a hundred and sixty two game season and it to come down told one game. It's it almost seems grew. It really does well. It is cruel stephen a but this is a cool sport and I was not in favor of this but here is the option if we were gonNA play a best best of three. Let's say and you are the New York Yankees. Let's say you want your division and you get to host the next round and we have ties leading into the wild card situation and then you play best of three it's possible the Yankees can win a hundred and ten game name say in a season and then take eight days off before they play a playoff game. That isn't fair you need to you need to really welcome the teams teams that won their division and put them in the best possible spot but if you make them wait a week before they get to play. I don't think that's fair. Wow Turkey right here with steven a radio. ESPN news fair enough. That game was something special last night at least the last couple of innings of soda to to to to Gino's keynote hit it to right field identify Grisham to commit that era. I gotTa tell you it was great to see how electric atmosphere was. How much did baseball Paul need particularly when we have just heard reports come down to how attendance drop but so like a six year low or something like that right well baseball can use all the health can get right now? It's still for me at least the greatest game and yet things are starting to slip a little bit and big game like that starting out like that in a city. That's like the biggest game the nationals of one well biggest game. A team in Washington is one baseball nineteen thirty three for goodness sake. That's what made it so good. That's why that celebration was so good and I'll crom tonight. Stephen Ain't no matter what happens this is gonna be a great night for baseball 'cause weighty. Did you see the Oakland Coliseum tonight with fifty thousand people in your they don't have the most fans in the world but the fans they have our rate and they are loud and it should be a tremendous atmosphere so this is a great jump start to the postseason in baseball last night in Washington and no matter what happens tonight tonight tonight in Oakland who you have when you look at tonight's game just evaluate this this match up to me between the as and Tampa Bay talk to me about you know who's looking good in mismatch in what well I like both teams. I'm GONNA pick I like it matters. I'M GONNA pick the as because they're at home. I'M GONNA pick the as Ashok MNAYA WHO's four no with a one twenty-one year as it's coming off the list has been great. Their bullpen is pretty darn good and they can just ask Mash Stephen a more than any team in the history of the Oakland A.'s in the franchise so they can really pounded but they're going up against Charlie Morton who was one of the best pitchers in the game this year. I saw his last start against your Yankees Steven A. and he he threw six scoreless. Let's see was completely dominant and if you throws like that he's GonNa win tonight. That's how good he was so this is a toss up game. I'll just take the as 'cause they gotta pick. Somebody and I'll take 'cause they're at home. You brought up my Yankee so let's get right to it because you know that's what I really really care about. Tim Kirk Okay. I'm very concerned earn. I am not concerned about the Minnesota twins even donate three hundred and seven home runs this year. I just think they're allergic to prosperity whenever their face against the New York Yankees the Houston Houston Astros are an entirely different matter with Verlaine with Cole Whitt Cranky. I don't see anybody beating. These guys. Talk to me about my yankees prospects. The this postseason Tim Kirk well first off. Do not look pass the twins. Even though I'm with you I believe will win. This series do not look past the team that can swing it like that. Team can second I think the Astros are the best team not just in the American league but in both leagues and I'm not sure how any team to navigate through those friends for you guys in the rotation especially coal and Burland at the top and I'm also going to tell you it's even a there or is hope that the Yankees can win the world series that make you really happy a bunch of things have to happen of course after mash like they always do the bullpen has to be great great like it always has been but Luis Severino comes back and give them five dominant innings. Can we've seen him do and if James Paxton this good he's one ten starts in a row. If Tanaka can give them one really good start or a few really good starts I think they are good enough to win the world series with the team that they have now but I still have them as the third best team in baseball go in behind the Astros and the dodge transitioned to the Los Los Angeles dodgers. They've got to face these Washington nationals in the LDS. How do you see that matchup handicap that for me well? I liked the dodgers in that matchup with the understanding understanding that if Max Scherzer can return to being the great Max Scherzer which he has not been since he came off the injured list is not he wasn't that guy last night. He wasn't that Guy September. If he returns to the best he's ever been with him. In Strasbourg Patrick Corbin they can give the dodgers a really really hard time with with that starting rotation and that lineup is very potent these days. I just think the dodgers are more complete team. They hit the ball out of the Ballpark ballpark with anybody. Three stars in the rotation are really good. My key question with 'em is is their back end to the bullpen as good as it needs to be Kenley Kenley Jansen get the people out. He needs to get out if he can't. They're not going to win the world series. How wants faiths the dodgers fans having jetson? I know I don't have much. I like the guy personally early but I I I don't. I don't trust him. I don't trust them a big spots. I think he can be hit. Talk to me about him. For a second yeah his is down his cuddled. It doesn't have the same movement to better tad in the past and that gives fans of pause. They do have some other health back there there but I really thought they'd go get more help at the trade deadline and they didn't so they're gonNA hope starting pitching and power is going to carry them and they're hoping pinged Kenley Jansen his best but I seen him much much better than he's been this year. What should we make about the fact that you've got high payrolls dodgers Yankees you know old? I don't know the order in which is the highest payroll. You would know that at this particular juncture but I must ask you Tampa Bay is in the postseason obviously lowest payroll in major league baseball well. I do believe I know that I mean how do you explain the fact that teams like the as in the Tampa Bay rays notoriously alot payrolls manage to get this fall and sometimes further dentist with the highest payrolls talked about that for a quick second as a protest. Why baseball is so great even a is that Lebron doesn't touch it on every possession? Kevin Durant doesn't touch it on every possession it is so much more of a eighteen game in its own way because you could lose a superstar and still be really good you have to draft and develop properly like the as and the rays done you have to play the game in a better manner because you can't afford to make a mistake because you know either in free agency or trade because it could set that you back with a raise did they. They got Austin Meadows and tyler glass now in a deal for Chris Archer Saint the whole team now they've ninety games two years in a row they they are really good but they're really 'cause they play the game even a defense base running better than most teams do instead of just sitting back saying well. We're GONNA hit a three run at home this morning so we don't have to do all the other things so. Let's get all of this out of the way right. Now Tim Cook while you're here with me. Yankees twins you. Have you have one in that series. I've got the Yankees over the twin yes with the warning. I say it again. Don't underestimate a team that hit over three hundred homers with the as as you picked as over the race tonight which means there as will go up against Houston obviously you pick in Houston to win that series assuming it comes down to that and the LDS correct yeah yeah but no cakewalk they're not against the as but I have the astros advancing against the how formidable on the Atlanta braves not mean I mean I mean at least in these parts. We talked enough about them. How good is this Atlanta braves team well? If Ronald Kunia junior and Freddy Freeman are completely healthy and they they want to finish the season they are the biggest threat to the dodgers in the National League for me. They're lying is absolutely relentless and with some of the pitching moves they made young and Old Dallas Cycle and the upgrades in their bullpen. I like that team. I don't like it as much as I like the dodgers but they can beat the dodgers with the team. They have right now so the nationals brightest moment was last night because you don't see them beating the dodgers correct I don't because they're going to start on the road. They've already use sure they're they've already Strasbourg people. They can get them back in time. I just don't think they held it too. I was worried shows a look tied at the floor four. Oh five in his last night I mean fifteen and won his last pitch and fit then it was I think it was at seventy seven pitches and he looked absolutely gassed. What does that about yeah? He's he's he's been hurt for portions of the year and he's had a little trouble getting that rhythm back in September and now in October and he is so max effort for on every single pitch when everything isn't working properly even he can get in trouble because almost nobody's better than him.
