Episode Description

With this episode, I'm rolling something out that's a bit different. Maybe you'll like it, maybe not.


Like most of you, I do a lot of training, job and daily work activity preparation while holding onto a steering wheel. There is something about the austere environment that the front seat of a truck can provide. I try to use the time as best as I can. Occasionally, it'll be music in the background, but most of the times it's going to be a podcast. Trying to add some mind expansion while commuting.


For the past several months, I've been mounting my GoPro with my Hollyland Lark M2 microphone, and when the moment strikes, simply hitting "Record" and riffing. Most of what I'm recording ends up on the proverbial cutting room floor. But, I'm playing around with the combined mediums. I gaining confidence in posting. And I'd like to think that my brain dumps are somewhat interesting, sometimes thought provoking. So many podcast hosts have provided me with knowledge & ideas to incorporate into action items, or to write about, or to just dwell on, trying to tie their experiences & knowledge with mine in my industry.


So, I'm going to try to post more of these shorts. We'll see what happens.


In this episode, I riff on ideas surrounding "Consistency."

  • How consistent am I being? How purposeful? How disciplined?
  • Am I just talking a good game? Or am I genuinely trying to stay consistent in my daily routines and actions?
  • How am I organize my day? My morning routines? How am I using OneNote? Jocko's "Eminently Qualified Human?" My Franklin Planner?
