TT 31: Perverse Incentives and Unintended Consequences
On today’s episode of the podcast we discuss how incentives created by institutions, organizations, major companies, etc. drive behavior. We dive into the Folly of Rewarding A, While Hoping for B and how many organizations with the right intentions end up creating incentives for the wrong behavior. In the end we discuss real life examples about how this phenomena has played out in the pandemic and how it is important to consider these things in all areas of our lives. Isaac and I would also like to take a moment to wish the members of the finest fighting force in the world a very happy birthday. Semper Fidelis Marines.

TT30: Tackling Mindfulness
On Today’s episode, Isaac and I discuss an extremely popular topic, mindfulness. People all over the world are experimenting with journaling, meditation, and methods to enact mindfulness in their own lives. Isaac and I break into what mindfulness is, where things are not well supported, and where there is supporting evidence behind it. We touch on the concept of “flow” and how mindfulness blends with reaching an optimal state of performance. Finally, we discuss how meditation is really filling a gap created from moving away from practices that have existed for thousands of years.

TT 28: Breaking Ranks
On Today’s episode of the podcast Isaac and I discuss the concept of breaking ranks through the lens of Lt. Col Stuart Scheller. Lt. Col Scheller is well known for his video that went viral the same day as the death of 13 service members in a suicide attack in Hamid Karzai airport in Afghanistan. Lt. Col Scheller called for accountability of leadership and slowly went down a path that landed him in the Brig. Isaac and I discuss this concept and need to break ranks when the organization has failed to do what is expected and when to stay in line and change the organization from the outside or within. Tune in to hear our take on Lt.Col Scheller’s controversial action.
