  • 294: Closing Out 2020 With The Year In Review

    We start from one place and end up at another. In this episode, we close out 2020 with a last episode of the year, bringing us to 52 episodes for the 52-week year~. Here, I discuss the guests we’ve had on in 2020, concepts they brought up, and some takeaways for all of you.

  • 290: Continual Branching | The Many Ways To Reach Outward

    Welcome to episode 290 of The Armen Show Podcast. This one is about the value of branching out in daily times, and different ways you can branch out in your own life.

    Adding a little variation to your day can be all you need to keep it interesting. This can be in the form of music, colors used in note-taking, paths taken to travel, locations visited, foods tried, people reached out to, and more.

  • 288: Continuation Is Power And Flow Is Your Colleague

    Welcome to episode 288, which might be my first one on this show that is both solo and still in video form. On this one, as the show continues its growth, I describe thoughts in relation to a quote I read that said “Continuation is power”. When I saw that, I recognized the value in it, and that I wanted to talk a bit about it.

    The people who continue along on a project path or a goal they started before represent their internal willpower when they put out that next thing. It says something to all others out there, and represents that they are still “in the market”.

    After covering this topic, I covered the topic of continued flow, and how stoppage has such an impact on where you can go in the short term. It’s like a weight that can become heavier by the day, each day that you skip working out, or whatever the activity may be.

  • 287: Brief Review Of Episodes With Geoffrey West, Maryam Baqir, and James Nestor

    Hello and welcome to episode 287 of the show. On this one, I look to recap a few past episodes, what I learned from them, and what you might be able to take away. The episodes are #274 with Dr. Geoffrey West, #268 with Dr. Maryam Baqir, and #267 with James Nestor.

    Dr. West gave us a sense of connection with humanity through biological and physics laws, while Dr. Baqir took us through the first Covid wave and her direct experience, and Mr. Nestor reminded us that there is a better way to breathe. I hope you enjoy the episode, and I look to do more recaps like this one.

  • 283: Reviewing All 11 Quotes From My Original Quote Analysis Ebook

    In episode 15, which was 268 episodes ago, I mentioned my two past Ebooks, along with a couple of quotes from the one called “Quote Analysis: Volume 1”, but I did not go into detail about each quote. In this audio, I cover all 11 quotes, and my current take on what they mean.

    Listing of the quotes:

    By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

    Benjamin Franklin

    If I can picture that, I’ll bring a picture back.

    O’Shea Jackson

    Real education must ultimately be limited to [people] who insist on knowing, the rest is mere sheep-herding.

    Ezra Pound

    If everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough.

    Mario Andretti

    The [person] who never makes a mistake always takes orders from one who does.

    Daisy Bates

    He who hesitates is a damned fool.

    Mae West

    When ability exceeds ambition, or ambition exceeds ability, the likelihood of success is limited.

    Ralph Half

    It’s not about timing; it’s about preparation.

    Unknown

    First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

    Mahatma Gandhi

    To be understood, first seek to understand.

    Stephen Covey

    The mind, ever the willing servant, will respond to boldness, for boldness, in effect, is a command to deliver.

    Norman Vincent Peale

    We take note of these short communications from these individuals, and what we can do with them today.

  • 281: Gaining Value From The Insights, Paths, And Mistakes Of Others

    Welcome to episode 281 of the show, where I cover a few messages and topics in a monologue type of form. The main theme on this one is that there is value outside yourself to absorb from, and you can tag on to the stories of others to enhance the story of your own.

    Show notes:

    • looking at the stories and path of others
    • getting value from things outside yourself, and letting the experiences of others bring you messages and understanding
    • the different types of markets that exist
    • participating in the markets of your choosing
    • bringing the people around you up, and what that can do for you
    • how to bring the people around you up
    • how acting in line with your true nature matches you in the long-term, but can have slight drawbacks in the short-term

    Glad to have you listening, and we continue to the future.

  • 276: Feeling, The Truth Behind Leaked Emails, And Keeping Your Mind Growing

    Welcome to another edition of The Armen Show. On #276, it is a stream of consciousness, as I take you through thoughts.

    Show notes:

    • how feeling is to be let through
    • why feeling is a representation of truth that thoughts are not able to be, in the same way
    • how a post about leaked e-mails made me think about truth
    • what leaked e-mails can showcase beyond the straightforward wheeling and dealing
    • how truth is found in edge cases and battles
    • why it is important to keep pushing your mind
    • novelty in its relation to mind growth

    Glad to have you all along on this journey.

  • 275: The Compounding Effects Of A Small Effort Or Risk Applied Today

    What does a little risk taken or effort made today do for you a week from now? How about 10 years from now? We look at life in an extended framework if we want to see it more clearly. Episode 275 is about this concept, how something can build only once it is started, and when the valuable representation of what you did will show up.

    Show notes:

    • how a spark has to be in place for the item to light up years later
    • why compound gains start off disturbingly slow and pick up speed
    • looking at past musical artists or content creators, and how their early efforts on the internet set the stage for thousands of people who followed them

    Hope you enjoyed this one~.
