Stuff I Learned Yesterday

Wether you realize it or not, almost all of us suffer from something called Superhero Syndrome. Most of the time you'll hear this term associated with business leaders or entrepreneurs. But it can also affect you in your day to day life. Read More... The post 306- Superhero Syndrome appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More .

The year was 1996. It was the middle of winter. I was a sophomore at the University of Central Oklahoma and working part time at a local bookstore. I was probably making around $7/hour. It was above minimum wage (which was $4.75), but still not a whole lot of money. Like many college students down through the ages, I was a poor college student. Most of my meals involved noodles, and those noodles...

Sometimes I feel like life is going just the way I want it. I'm on a role and I can't afford to stop the momentum. That's how I felt two weeks ago. I landed a couple of new clients with really great projects to work on. Plus I was bringing back my Under The Dome Podcast for season 3 and starting up a new podcast for Killjoys. I didn't think I could afford a vacation. I'm not talking money wise, bu...

Death has been chasing every single one of us since the day we were born and despite our best efforts to eat right, exercise, laugh, and take care of ourselves, it will one day catch us. There is no escaping it. I must admit that as a 39 year old, I still feel like death is a lifetime away. Why is that? I’ve seen death’s clutches take hold of men, women, boys, and girls much younger than me. I kno...

Today is a milestone. This is the 300th episode of Stuff I Learned Yesterday. That's quite impressive when you consider that most podcasts don't last beyond 10 episodes. But is it a reason to celebrate? In a way perhaps. We should at least acknowledge it. This is a milestone moment after all, and as the definition points out it's an important point in the progress of this podcast. Just like episod...

Last Wednesday my family visited the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History in Norman, Oklahoma. Kari and I were looking forward to our visit, but the kids were not. Visiting museums is not how they envisioned spending their summer vacation. We tried to get them excited by telling them that the museum had dinosaur skeletons and telling them about other fun museums they have visited, but they weren’t...

Have you ever had one of those days where you're just not in the mood to do anything? That's how I feel today. It's 11:30 at night and I'm sitting in front of my keyboard trying to compose my SILY episode but I'm just not into it. Read More...

For those of you who are parents, have you ever wondered if your kids are listening? Who am I kidding, of course you have. Sometimes it’s maddening. There are times when my wife or I will tell our kids to do something only to hear them say they never heard us. I know that it’s possible to not hear someone even when they are in the same room, but I’m quite certain that there are times when my kids...

Like you, I love hearing the stories submitted to our Friday forum each week. This past week we heard a story from Faith about her love of teaching and how it was never her intention to become a teacher. Hearing her story gave me an idea for today's episode. So thanks Faith. I touched briefly on my journey to be a graphic designer way back in my very first Friday Forum submission in SILY number 10...

Did you hear last Friday’s episode? It was a really great episode with Friday Forum contributions from Faith and Justina. Justina closed out her call with something I found simple and profound. She said, “The stuff that I learned yesterday has turned me into the person that I am today.” As I expressed during my comments to Justina in Friday’s episode, her choice of words really got me thinking. Ho...

Cornwall is a border city. It's situated along the great St. Lawrence river and offers an international bridge to the state of New York. It's actually two bridges. The first one takes you across to Cornwall Island and the Akwesasne Indian Reserve. Akwesasne is an interesting place. The north side of this native territory sits Canada and the south side sits in the USA. To make it even more interest...

Have I told you lately that I love what I do? I’ve had the great fortune of spending most of my working days doing work that I enjoy. My previous career in the corporate world was mostly good. In fact, it was mostly great. The last few years were challenging for sure, but I’m not complaining. It was a good company to work for and most of the people were great. Most of the customers were great. The...

Back in January, Darrell, myself and a few others via the Friday Forum proclaimed our goals for the year in the hopes that making them public would keep us accountable. One of my goals was to loose weight. At the beginning of January I weighed 234 Lbs. I set the goal of loosing 34 Lbs. before Podcast Movement which starts August 31st. Read More...

A couple of months ago the arbor society of our town announced that they would be giving away free trees. Since I managed to kill the tree that was currently in our yard, Kari and I thought it would be a great opportunity to get a new tree. After all, the price would be impossible to beat. The announcement said that they would begin handing out trees at noon, but Kari and I both had busy mornings...

We form many ties during our lifetime. We form them with friends, schoolmates, coworkers, and neighbours, but none of these compare to the family ties we form. With the former we get to choose who we associate with. We decide who we want to hang out with at school, who we want to be friends with in our day to day life and even who we want to converse with in our neighbourhood. But we have no say w...

Today’s episode is about perspective. I’ve spoken on this topic several times before, but that’s because I believe it is incredibly important. It’s not only important, but it’s a topic that needs to be looked at from many different angles to fully appreciate. Last week I had coffee with a good friend of mine and the topic of perspective came up. He’s a pastor and he shared how interesting it is to...

Now, one of the great things about Comiccons are the wonderful costumes that some of the attendees wear. You can really see the thought and effort put into them. In fact some of the attendees have better costumes than the convention's special invited guests that are professional cosplayers. Read More...
