Welcome to episode 300 of the show~. We have come far, and learned a lot along the way. This one includes discussion about the value of declarative energy, as well as how we are not starting from scratch whenever we do something. Enjoy, and onward we go.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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
