The You Project

So many people spend so much time talking about starting, while never really truly starting. And when I say starting, I mean properly starting. As in, diving into the project or process fully committed to do the work (and not to stop), no matter what. So many ideas, plans, intentions and conversations about things that never actually get done. Always going to do it, but not now. Soon. One day. The mystical magical day that never comes. This chat with Tiff is about why we avoid starting, why we avoid commitment, why we avoid doing the actual consistent work, and what we might do in order to get out of that holding pattern and become the person who both starts and finishes. Enjoy.

Our favourite geek is back at TYP, and along with Tiff we dive into AI, digital interactivity, audiobooks (including fiction) that you can ask questions as you read, cyber security and surveillance, automotive technology and safety, consumer electronics and why many electric cars could be the end of you, if you find yourself off the road and in a body of water. If you are familiar with these episodes, you won’t be surprised when I tell you there are some mildly (?) inappropriate conversational detours taken along the way. I blame Patrick. Of course I do. Enjoy.

Not unlike most episodes with Bobby and Tiff, this one meandered away from the core topic and back, but much of the conversation was exploring what I call ‘The Awareness Pyramid’ - a kind of summary of what I’ve been working on for the last six and a half years in my PhD. Enjoy.

Dr. Ezekiel "Zeke" Emanuel is one of the world's most respected physician-philosophers. He's an oncologist, bioethicist, health policy expert, and professor at the University of Pennsylvania. His work sits at the intersection of medicine, ethics, public policy, and healthcare reform.
Zeke has a MD from Harvard Medical School and a PhD in political philosophy from Harvard University. He also earned an MSc in biochemistry from University of Oxford and a BA in chemistry from Amherst College. It was great to sit down with one of the most respected researchers and academics in the world. I really enjoyed my time with the Doc, and while we agreed on nearly everything, we did diverge on one or two things but of course we did; we’re two humans. Enjoy!

This was an interesting and somewhat different conversation with Dr Bill Sullivan - one where we explored the idea of going back to school (in some form) in our ‘more experienced’ years. Chatting with someone who is a world recognised researcher, scientist, author and educator (and still crushing it in his sixties), it was a great opportunity to discuss a topic that more and more people are choosing to explore and engage in. Like the bloke writing this. Enjoy.
