If you're feeling uncomfortable discussing payment it's because someone is trying to steal from you and they're counting on social conditioning to get away with it.

Everyone needs to watch the video Chemda was talking about, it’s so funny. We all need a Denita in our lives.

wowowow this was a great episode, where do I even start?!

Did I hear something bleeped out for the first time in the ad for ZipRecruiter??

Yesterday I heard something about anxiety that really helped me ... mine is less social anxiety these days, and more just generalized worry about how I'm falling short at doing everything. I'll keep myself up at night going over in my head on what I forgot, what I need to do or what went or will go wrong. And the tip that helped me was "instead of counting the worries, think about everything that went right and could go right." And I know it sounds dumb like someone saying to a sad person "well just be happy" but this legit helped me even if for a moment yesterday, I could feel my tension lessening and my racing heart slowing. It's a gratitude type of exercise and I'm going to stick with it.

Because I'm either a good mom or the worst, I listen to KATG in the car daily when me and my daughter are driving to and from school. She's 4 and a half. She heard today's episode and said "I wish Keith and Chemda came to MY school, you should invite them to my birthday party." She thinks you guys are the funniest ever, has named two dolls of hers after you and even has this little dollhouse they go in that they go in called The Keith and the Girl House.

I couldn't imagine booking a general comedian for a group of preschoolers! This was probably a bougie school in Jersey City that DEFINITELY did have the money to pay for this kind of shit.

But in case anyone needs hints on what makes kids laugh, boogers are on the right track. Burps, farts, poop, pee. When we listen to music in the car, her thing lately is to replace words in songs with poop, pee, fart, burp and crunch. So you could also be a low-rent version of Weird Al and make up songs like "Old Town Fart" and it'll be a hit to the preschool crowd.

I was guessing maybe Chemda said "LinkedIn" and the ZipRecruiter folks didn't like that...?

Dunno what she said but her energy changed for a minute.

Chemda mentioned a book that talks about how gambling can be progressive and addictive. I just finished a book called The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg that covers this. It's interesting because it talks how the reward loop can get corrupted by gambling. The makers of those Keno machines hired video game makers in the 1990s. They realized the promise of an almost win kept certain addicts coming back.

Anyways.

If Chemda or anyone else is interested, there's a book called Atomic Habits by James Clear that takes what Duhigg did and goes further. It's like a more interesting/ improved take on habits/ loops.

That’s what I just read and was referencing. I’m now reading the 7 habits of highly effective people.
