00:00:10.547 --> 00:00:12.147
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>There we go.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/29-0
00:00:13.267 --> 00:00:15.267
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And we'll play from the current slide.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/32-0
00:00:16.587 --> 00:00:17.987
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>All right. Hello, everybody.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/37-0
00:00:20.067 --> 00:00:24.229
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>If you were not in the first session,
this will be the first half of this</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/37-1
00:00:24.229 --> 00:00:27.379
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>presentation will be nearly identical to
the first one.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/37-2
00:00:27.379 --> 00:00:31.316
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>The second-half I'm going to focus on the
the slides I didn't get to,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/37-3
00:00:31.316 --> 00:00:34.747
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>so I'll sort of skim over the other part.
So if you want to.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/38-0
00:00:35.107 --> 00:00:36.787
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>See more detail on the.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/43-0
00:00:38.867 --> 00:00:42.674
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>3rd, 3/4, third,
fourth of the talk content.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/43-1
00:00:42.674 --> 00:00:48.257
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Go watch the other one. All right.
So without further ado, hello,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/43-2
00:00:48.257 --> 00:00:53.587
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I am Steven Trimbeck.
This is Deep Meaning at work. This is a.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/48-0
00:00:54.067 --> 00:00:58.922
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Practical philosophical talk about
addressing the the challenges that come</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/48-1
00:00:58.922 --> 00:01:03.389
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>with being alive as a human being,
needing to make money to survive,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/48-2
00:01:03.389 --> 00:01:08.051
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but also kind of wanting to enjoy the
ride and get something out of it.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/48-3
00:01:08.051 --> 00:01:10.187
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Most of this will relate to work.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/54-0
00:01:10.987 --> 00:01:14.837
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Not all of it directly.
Generally I I don't see any separation</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/54-1
00:01:14.837 --> 00:01:18.197
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>between work and life.
That's my personal perspective.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/54-2
00:01:18.197 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So while a lot of these things do not
make a direct correlation to a work</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/54-3
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.874
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>problem or some sort of goal,
I think you guys will be able to draw</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/54-4
00:01:26.874 --> 00:01:28.707
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>those correlations yourselves.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/58-0
00:01:28.707 --> 00:01:33.586
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And it will make sense. OK, cool.
So all this stuff is practical.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/58-1
00:01:33.586 --> 00:01:37.948
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I just drew from like my own notes and
journals and stuff.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/58-2
00:01:37.948 --> 00:01:43.345
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>This is what has worked for me.
So all of this is is first hand now like</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/58-3
00:01:43.345 --> 00:01:45.267
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>everything I borrowed and.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/63-0
00:01:45.267 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Drew from many different sources.
Nothing is is truly unique.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/63-1
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.360
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So take it and make it your own.
And all of the things that we'll talk</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/63-2
00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:56.585
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>about today,
I mean the the good section is meant to</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/63-3
00:01:56.585 --> 00:01:59.993
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>be practiced. You know,
none of it should be, you know,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/63-4
00:01:59.993 --> 00:02:01.027
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>earth-shaking or.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/68-0
00:02:01.107 --> 00:02:03.734
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It should feel familiar and it's meant to
be done.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/68-1
00:02:03.734 --> 00:02:06.155
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Just looking at it isn't going to do
anything.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/68-2
00:02:06.155 --> 00:02:09.966
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It has to be practiced day in and day out.
Alright, so let's get started.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/68-3
00:02:09.966 --> 00:02:14.138
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And by the way, if you have any questions,
you can just come off mute and ask if</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/68-4
00:02:14.138 --> 00:02:16.147
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>something really doesn't make sense or.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/71-0
00:02:16.147 --> 00:02:19.508
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I glossed over something.
Feel free to to just talk.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/71-1
00:02:19.508 --> 00:02:23.757
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>This is not super formal.
Otherwise I will reserve like 10 minutes</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/71-2
00:02:23.757 --> 00:02:26.547
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>or so at the end for questions and
answers.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/77-0
00:02:28.467 --> 00:02:31.363
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>All right,
So what this talk is about going to</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/77-1
00:02:31.363 --> 00:02:35.862
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>address. If you haven't read the abstract,
the premise is pretty simple.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/77-2
00:02:35.862 --> 00:02:40.854
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>There are large-scale societal challenges,
and these are not separate from work.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/77-3
00:02:40.854 --> 00:02:43.627
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>They bleed into our work because,
as I said,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/77-4
00:02:43.627 --> 00:02:48.187
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I don't see any separation between life
and work. You're the same person.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/81-0
00:02:48.427 --> 00:02:51.786
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Yes, we put on roles,
we behave a little bit differently,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/81-1
00:02:51.786 --> 00:02:56.361
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but that's that's fine. Fundamentally,
you are the same person and how you are</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/81-2
00:02:56.361 --> 00:03:00.936
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>in one domain of your life profoundly
affects how you are in all the others to</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/81-3
00:03:00.936 --> 00:03:05.627
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>a degree that I think we we forget about
until we start making positive changes.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/85-0
00:03:05.747 --> 00:03:11.895
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So most of this is just about stuff that
I did over the past few years,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/85-1
00:03:11.895 --> 00:03:18.812
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>especially over the last six months or so
on a personal quest to try to enjoy my</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/85-2
00:03:18.812 --> 00:03:20.947
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>time and find meaning in.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/93-0
00:03:20.947 --> 00:03:25.661
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Even boring moments doing stuff I don't
want to do, especially those moments.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/93-1
00:03:25.661 --> 00:03:30.254
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And I wanted to didn't want to settle for
a life that was just pretty good.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/93-2
00:03:30.254 --> 00:03:34.907
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And then I had to go for go to work and
it was conditionally good. You know,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/93-3
00:03:34.907 --> 00:03:39.621
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>if I got what I wanted or I was working
on something I liked or with people I</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/93-4
00:03:39.621 --> 00:03:40.467
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>liked, it was.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/99-0
00:03:40.587 --> 00:03:45.590
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Fine, but otherwise I dreaded it.
I wanted to move towards an existence</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/99-1
00:03:45.590 --> 00:03:50.385
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>where it's pretty much good.
There is something valuable about every</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/99-2
00:03:50.385 --> 00:03:53.651
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>moment,
and so this is basically recounting my</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/99-3
00:03:53.651 --> 00:03:58.307
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>personal experience and what I've learned
along the way. It's not.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/105-0
00:03:58.307 --> 00:04:01.670
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>The only way, by all means,
I'm open to other things.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/105-1
00:04:01.670 --> 00:04:05.906
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Like I said in the first talk,
I am a human experiment in progress.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/105-2
00:04:05.906 --> 00:04:10.390
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>These are my results so far.
Take what you like. All right, here we go.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/105-3
00:04:10.390 --> 00:04:14.563
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Here's what's on the label.
You're going to learn how to be happy,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/105-4
00:04:14.563 --> 00:04:16.307
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>regardless of circumstances.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/109-0
00:04:16.427 --> 00:04:20.578
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Feel connected to your work and the
people around you gracefully navigate,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/109-1
00:04:20.578 --> 00:04:24.398
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>change in and out of work.
And none of the stuff we're going to talk</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/109-2
00:04:24.398 --> 00:04:28.715
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>about requires you to change anything
about what you actually do in your job.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/109-3
00:04:28.715 --> 00:04:31.427
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Now you can, and you may,
but I would recommend.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/113-0
00:04:31.507 --> 00:04:34.748
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Trying these changes first to see where
that leads you,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/113-1
00:04:34.748 --> 00:04:38.337
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and then if you want to go forward and
make external changes,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/113-2
00:04:38.337 --> 00:04:41.694
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>change your new role, learn new skills,
change companies.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/113-3
00:04:41.694 --> 00:04:45.572
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I have absolutely no problem with saying
you're miserable. I mean,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/113-4
00:04:45.572 --> 00:04:46.787
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>go do something else.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/115-0
00:04:46.987 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>But try this first,
because I think you may find that you</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/115-1
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.987
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>don't need a lot of the changes you
thought you didn't.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/120-0
00:04:54.307 --> 00:04:57.185
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>OK,
so I'm not going to spend a lot of time</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/120-1
00:04:57.185 --> 00:05:00.324
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>on the sort of negative current state
problems,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/120-2
00:05:00.324 --> 00:05:04.510
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but I think most of us are pretty
familiar with this. You know,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/120-3
00:05:04.510 --> 00:05:09.743
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>media and movies and podcasts is these
things are all pretty good at describing</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/120-4
00:05:09.743 --> 00:05:13.144
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>problems.
Not a whole lot of people bring solutions</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/120-5
00:05:13.144 --> 00:05:13.667
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>to bear.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/124-0
00:05:14.227 --> 00:05:19.712
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I sought my own and people who are trying
to do the same, but it's worth mentioning,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/124-1
00:05:19.712 --> 00:05:22.874
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>you know,
my view of where we're coming from and</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/124-2
00:05:22.874 --> 00:05:26.939
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>what's worth addressing.
So there's a lot of technological and</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/124-3
00:05:26.939 --> 00:05:29.907
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>societal change.
There's a lot of disruption.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/128-0
00:05:29.987 --> 00:05:35.112
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>A lot of negative emotion and I think
more troubling that there is an influx of</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/128-1
00:05:35.112 --> 00:05:39.661
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>noise in our lives. Seemingly we are,
you know, talking at each other,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/128-2
00:05:39.661 --> 00:05:44.851
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but we feel less and less connected and
there's a sort of hollowness to a lot of</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/128-3
00:05:44.851 --> 00:05:45.107
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>our.</v>

00:05:45.107 --> 00:05:48.427
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Existence.
That's not something you can easily</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/132-1
00:05:48.427 --> 00:05:51.676
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>measure,
but it the symptoms clearly show up,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/132-2
00:05:51.676 --> 00:05:55.278
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>you know,
in the form of a mental health crisis or</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/132-3
00:05:55.278 --> 00:06:00.787
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>quiet quitting or checking out or,
you know, on the other end, extreme anger.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/137-0
00:06:00.867 --> 00:06:03.884
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>All these sorts of problems are are
really, you know,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/137-1
00:06:03.884 --> 00:06:08.410
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>symptoms of underlying things that are
difficult to measure and we don't spend a</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/137-2
00:06:08.410 --> 00:06:12.042
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>lot of time thinking about.
I'm not going to spend a lot of time</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/137-3
00:06:12.042 --> 00:06:15.729
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>talking about it because I don't really
like diagnosing problems.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/137-4
00:06:15.729 --> 00:06:18.467
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>This is what worked for me and I think at
scale.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/141-0
00:06:18.707 --> 00:06:22.255
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It can work for a lot of people.
That's up to you to decide.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/141-1
00:06:22.255 --> 00:06:25.803
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>But in the face of all those problems,
all these challenges,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/141-2
00:06:25.803 --> 00:06:29.410
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>people have a couple basic and very
understandable responses.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/141-3
00:06:29.410 --> 00:06:32.667
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>There's no judgment in it at all.
It's just what we do.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/146-0
00:06:34.707 --> 00:06:38.145
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>All right,
so the first bucket here is comes in two</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/146-1
00:06:38.145 --> 00:06:41.053
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>forms,
and this is general disillusionment.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/146-2
00:06:41.053 --> 00:06:46.474
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So I can pull up a bunch of quotes that
demonstrate what I'm trying to talk about</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/146-3
00:06:46.474 --> 00:06:50.705
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>here, but we can capsulate in the quote.
Why bother? Who cares?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/146-4
00:06:50.705 --> 00:06:52.027
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>This doesn't matter.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/147-0
00:06:53.347 --> 00:06:54.947
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It is a sense that.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/151-0
00:06:56.507 --> 00:06:58.546
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I'm going to do things that are in it for
me,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/151-1
00:06:58.546 --> 00:07:00.939
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>or things that are conditional based on
the outcomes,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/151-2
00:07:00.939 --> 00:07:04.485
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>whether they help people or they they do
something that I like or help somebody</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/151-3
00:07:04.485 --> 00:07:04.707
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>else.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/155-0
00:07:05.427 --> 00:07:08.246
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And if I can't,
then I'm going to not do it,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/155-1
00:07:08.246 --> 00:07:12.192
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>or I'm going to be unmotivated.
So two general responses here.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/155-2
00:07:12.192 --> 00:07:15.887
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Nihilism is the sense that nothing
matters, so why bother?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/155-3
00:07:15.887 --> 00:07:20.898
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Sometimes this descends into hedonism.
Just I'm just going to seek pleasure and</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/155-4
00:07:20.898 --> 00:07:21.587
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>avoid pain.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/162-0
00:07:22.147 --> 00:07:25.119
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And that's what most of my existence is
about.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/162-1
00:07:25.119 --> 00:07:30.177
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I'm going to do the bare minimum to get
by, maybe serve a couple of the values,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/162-2
00:07:30.177 --> 00:07:34.476
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but for the most part, nothing matters,
so who cares? And escapism,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/162-3
00:07:34.476 --> 00:07:39.092
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>as I mentioned the first time,
is even more dangerous in my opinion of a</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/162-4
00:07:39.092 --> 00:07:41.747
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>world view because it supposes that there.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/165-0
00:07:41.747 --> 00:07:45.960
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Is a better place. You know,
there's another job, another company,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/165-1
00:07:45.960 --> 00:07:50.487
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>another life, another, I don't know,
another girlfriend or boyfriend or</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/165-2
00:07:50.487 --> 00:07:55.266
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>another set of life circumstances that
then I'll be happy, then I'll be OK,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/165-3
00:07:55.266 --> 00:07:57.027
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>then it will be good enough.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/170-0
00:07:57.107 --> 00:08:00.039
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And I think we know that that is a lie.
In general,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/170-1
00:08:00.039 --> 00:08:04.551
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>if you're above like a baseline, you know,
far be it from me to say if you are,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/170-2
00:08:04.551 --> 00:08:07.201
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>you know, suffering profoundly from,

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/170-3
00:08:07.201 --> 00:08:11.487
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>some like intense like pain disorder or
something that you should be happy.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/170-4
00:08:11.487 --> 00:08:14.307
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>But if you're above some basic baseline
and it's.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/175-0
00:08:14.307 --> 00:08:18.198
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Not that high of a base of a bar.
Then if you are not able to find</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/175-1
00:08:18.198 --> 00:08:21.334
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>contentment,
you probably will not find it in another</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/175-2
00:08:21.334 --> 00:08:23.890
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>thing.
Doesn't mean you can't make external</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/175-3
00:08:23.890 --> 00:08:26.794
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>changes,
but this is a different kind of delusion</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/175-4
00:08:26.794 --> 00:08:30.627
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>that is very dangerous because unlike
nihilism in the sense that.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/179-0
00:08:31.027 --> 00:08:34.224
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>You never find peace.
You're always looking. That,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/179-1
00:08:34.224 --> 00:08:38.738
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>in my opinion, is doomed to fail.
And then there's status quo thinking.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/179-2
00:08:38.738 --> 00:08:43.503
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>This is the other general bucket.
This is believing that either there is no</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/179-3
00:08:43.503 --> 00:08:46.387

conditional.</v>

00:08:46.387 --> 00:08:51.351

doubling down on traditional success</v>

00:09:12.017 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Internet. You know what this looks like.
That does not work. And again,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/187-3
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:18.947

00:09:19.067 --> 00:09:24.778

00:09:29.375 --> 00:09:34.459
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>actually believe this on a conscious

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/193-3
00:09:34.459 --> 00:09:38.707

00:09:41.900 --> 00:09:45.209

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/198-2
00:09:45.209 --> 00:09:49.455

00:09:49.455 --> 00:09:51.881

It it creates an existence that is overly</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/202-3
00:10:11.173 --> 00:10:13.227
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>competitive. It's what's in it for me.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/230-0
00:10:33.227 --> 00:10:37.275
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>All sorts of you become vulnerable to all
sorts of other problems,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/230-1
00:10:37.275 --> 00:10:41.867
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>so I don't really need to belabor this
point. I think this part is a given.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/231-0
00:10:41.907 --> 00:10:42.667
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Given.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/285-0
00:10:46.627 --> 00:10:49.373
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So here's the more interesting part. So,
you know,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/285-1
00:10:49.373 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>we met with the same challenges as
everybody else.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/285-2
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.481
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I'm just a a fellow human being met with
all the same problems over the past few</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/285-3
00:10:56.481 --> 00:11:00.197
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>years. Especially like, you know,
I I saw that I want to be content,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/285-4
00:11:00.197 --> 00:11:03.427
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I want to be happy,
or at least I want to be OK pretty much</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/285-5
00:11:03.427 --> 00:11:04.827
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>no matter what's going on.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/325-0
00:11:05.347 --> 00:11:09.357
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And I want to find a way to do that
within my control. And I mostly got there.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/325-1
00:11:09.357 --> 00:11:11.793
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>But you know,
work had always been a challenge.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/325-2
00:11:11.793 --> 00:11:15.701
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And but I also wanted to have ambitions.
I wanted to do things in the world.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/325-3
00:11:15.701 --> 00:11:19.051
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I wanted to help people.
I wanted to learn things and I wanted to</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/325-4
00:11:19.051 --> 00:11:21.741
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>be involved.
And these two things seem fundamentally</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/325-5
00:11:21.741 --> 00:11:22.147
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>opposed.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/363-0
00:11:22.587 --> 00:11:27.480
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>How do I unify that? How do I be content,
but also do stuff and be involved?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/363-1
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.102
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And how do I not go crazy?
How do I combat this sense of</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/363-2
00:11:31.102 --> 00:11:34.278
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>disconnection?
How do I feel connected to my work</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/363-3
00:11:34.278 --> 00:11:37.583
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>especially?
How do I want to be here in the average</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/363-4
00:11:37.583 --> 00:11:38.027
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>moment?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/393-0
00:11:38.307 --> 00:11:43.003
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So this is what I came up with,
and this is what has really worked for me.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/393-1
00:11:43.003 --> 00:11:47.762
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So I'm going to describe an ideal state
that I'm approaching, like a limit.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/393-2
00:11:47.762 --> 00:11:50.580
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>You know, you never quite.
It's a direction,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/393-3
00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:53.147
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but it's not something you'll ever reach.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/427-0
00:11:53.787 --> 00:11:57.790
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So here's my ideal state for a working
life. Again,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/427-1
00:11:57.790 --> 00:12:04.024
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I see them as a blend of the same person.
I'm not a different person when I'm at</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/427-2
00:12:04.024 --> 00:12:08.873
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>work and when I'm at home.
I'm the same person and how I carry</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/427-3
00:12:08.873 --> 00:12:10.027
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>myself matters.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/476-0
00:12:10.147 --> 00:12:14.781
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And they bleed into each other. So for me,
an ideal state is to feel connected to my</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/476-1
00:12:14.781 --> 00:12:17.234
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>work,
to feel like what I'm doing matters on</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/476-2
00:12:17.234 --> 00:12:19.633
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>some level,
to feel that I am contributing.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/476-3
00:12:19.633 --> 00:12:22.359
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I want to feel connected to the people
around me,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/476-4
00:12:22.359 --> 00:12:26.393
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and I to some degree I want to feel
passion and excitement about what I'm</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/476-5
00:12:26.393 --> 00:12:29.827
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>doing. Not all the time.
That's not reasonable, but sometimes.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/481-0
00:12:29.827 --> 00:12:33.747
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Times I want to feel invested in it and I
want to feel a sense of belonging.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/490-0
00:12:35.187 --> 00:12:39.027
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>O that for me is an ideal statement.
I want to feel useful.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/558-0
00:12:39.987 --> 00:12:43.986
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So if I had to boil all of it down to the
one thing that made the biggest</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/558-1
00:12:43.986 --> 00:12:46.363
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>difference through lots of trial and
error,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/558-2
00:12:46.363 --> 00:12:50.200
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and then the rest of the talk is
basically a whole bunch of individual</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/558-3
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:53.442
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>ideas that are all supporting or
complimentary in some way.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/558-4
00:12:53.442 --> 00:12:57.656
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>The one thing that made the biggest
difference to my lived experience is like</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/558-5
00:12:57.656 --> 00:12:59.547
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>whether I wanted to be here or not.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/569-0
00:12:59.907 --> 00:13:04.629
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>That's that's really what this is about.
What is the one chance that made the</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/569-1
00:13:04.629 --> 00:13:06.747
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>biggest difference? And it is this.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/614-0
00:13:07.827 --> 00:13:12.229
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It is a decision that your work always
matters unconditionally.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/614-1
00:13:12.229 --> 00:13:17.593
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I mean like really unconditionally.
I say that if my work were being built on</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/614-2
00:13:17.593 --> 00:13:21.375
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>an assembly line,
at the end of the assembly line is a</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/614-3
00:13:21.375 --> 00:13:23.507
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>trash can or an incinerator if.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/672-0
00:13:23.507 --> 00:13:27.715
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>What I did was immediately destroyed and
no one ever knew about it.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/672-1
00:13:27.715 --> 00:13:32.665
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So it's demonstrably having no impact
outside of myself that even then it would</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/672-2
00:13:32.665 --> 00:13:37.491
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>have a net positive inherent value.
So whether you see this as like a willful</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/672-3
00:13:37.491 --> 00:13:42.132
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>delusion or some sort of, you know,
greater like metaphysical or spiritual</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/672-4
00:13:42.132 --> 00:13:42.627
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>meaning.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/711-0
00:13:42.827 --> 00:13:46.071
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Doesn't matter.
It works either way as long as you</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/711-1
00:13:46.071 --> 00:13:50.078
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>inherently make make the choice that what
I do matters always.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/711-2
00:13:50.078 --> 00:13:54.785
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>This is true outside of work too,
but it was especially important to hold</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/711-3
00:13:54.785 --> 00:13:59.619
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>this belief at work and it made a
fundamental difference in the way I carry</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/711-4
00:13:59.619 --> 00:14:00.827
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>myself because now.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/750-0
00:14:02.267 --> 00:14:06.389
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>What I'm doing is not dependent on
whether, well, is that something I enjoy?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/750-1
00:14:06.389 --> 00:14:08.958
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Is this going to further my career?
Is it easy?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/750-2
00:14:08.958 --> 00:14:12.276
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Is it actually going to make a business
impact? I don't know.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/750-3
00:14:12.276 --> 00:14:15.863
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>You can't always know that.
There are things that are important to</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/750-4
00:14:15.863 --> 00:14:17.147
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>try, but you can't know.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/795-0
00:14:17.427 --> 00:14:20.582
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And you have to try without knowing
whether it will work.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/795-1
00:14:20.582 --> 00:14:23.899
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>There are so many ways to value whether
work matters or not,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/795-2
00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:27.543
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but almost all of them are conditional
and external. And you know,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/795-3
00:14:27.543 --> 00:14:30.317
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>in a sort of recursive base case sort of
scenario,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/795-4
00:14:30.317 --> 00:14:32.982
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>what happens when none of those things
are true?</v>

00:14:36.907 --> 00:14:39.467
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Is there a way to feel like?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/806-0
00:14:41.307 --> 00:14:43.907

00:14:47.448 --> 00:14:51.027
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Like this changed everything.
It is an unconditional belief that.</v>

00:14:52.027 --> 00:14:55.517
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>My work matters.
So did that pull request actually,</v>

00:14:55.517 --> 00:14:58.738
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>you know,
go through and result in some feature</v>

00:14:58.738 --> 00:15:04.307

00:15:05.027 --> 00:15:08.570
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It's not.
It's a fundamentally different premise</v>

00:15:08.570 --> 00:15:13.630
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>that Nope, that's not how it works.
I have chosen and it is a choice.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/890-2
00:15:13.630 --> 00:15:18.185

<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It tends to lead somewhere more
interesting, and usually not that long,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1612-2
00:20:25.016 --> 00:20:29.160
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and you end up where you need to be.
It's a sort of interesting quirk.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1612-3
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:33.187
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I'm sure you can take this to the extreme
and really abuse the idea,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1612-4
00:20:33.187 --> 00:20:34.587
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but you get the premise.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1617-0
00:20:34.627 --> 00:20:35.307
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>You get the premise.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1618-0
00:20:36.347 --> 00:20:38.947
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>All right,
so now we're into some new content.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1622-0
00:20:41.467 --> 00:20:41.867
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1652-0
00:20:43.707 --> 00:20:48.513
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Our attention and by proxy,
I think our energy is our most valuable</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1652-1
00:20:48.513 --> 00:20:54.095
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>commodity or valuable resource in the
modern age for humanity. It's not money,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1652-2
00:20:54.095 --> 00:20:57.841
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>it's not time.
All of these things are derivative of</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1652-3
00:20:57.841 --> 00:20:58.547
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>attention.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1690-0
00:20:58.627 --> 00:21:02.841
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And to again, to a degree,
some sort of felt sense of energy.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1690-1
00:21:02.841 --> 00:21:07.056
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And what you put your attention on is of
critical importance.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1690-2
00:21:07.056 --> 00:21:10.590
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>We really are our environments,
and more than that,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1690-3
00:21:10.590 --> 00:21:15.824
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>we are what we put our attention on.
I live a pretty bizarre life for anyone</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1690-4
00:21:15.824 --> 00:21:16.707
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>who knows me.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1743-0
00:21:16.947 --> 00:21:20.371
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I really don't.
I don't consume any news media.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1743-1
00:21:20.371 --> 00:21:25.151
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I do very little web browsing.
I listen to almost no informational</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1743-2
00:21:25.151 --> 00:21:28.504
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>podcasts.
I've withdrawn from a lot of things,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1743-3
00:21:28.504 --> 00:21:32.356
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and I spend most of my time these days in
meat space.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1743-4
00:21:32.356 --> 00:21:36.707
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>That is the stuff and the people that are
physically around.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1798-0
00:21:36.707 --> 00:21:39.966
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Around me and you find that your brain
starts to rewire.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1798-1
00:21:39.966 --> 00:21:43.683
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>That is the default mode network.
The part of your brain that is</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1798-2
00:21:43.683 --> 00:21:48.429
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>responsible for thinking and planning and
mind wandering reflection tends to worry</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1798-3
00:21:48.429 --> 00:21:51.459
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>about stuff that is actually happening in
your life.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1798-4
00:21:51.459 --> 00:21:55.747
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And this has made a profound difference
in my lived quality of experience.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1839-0
00:21:55.827 --> 00:22:00.365
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>At work, at home, everywhere.
And that I try to make sure that I spend</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1839-1
00:22:00.365 --> 00:22:04.647
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>time so it improves the quality of my
default mode network uptime.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1839-2
00:22:04.647 --> 00:22:09.824
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So that is the time I'm doing nothing.
The quality of my thoughts are better and</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1839-3
00:22:09.824 --> 00:22:13.147
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>they're more relevant to what's actually
happening.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1875-0
00:22:14.147 --> 00:22:19.026
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And it has made a huge difference.
So if something is in your attention at</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1875-1
00:22:19.026 --> 00:22:22.603
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>all, to some degree,
you eventually become that thing,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1875-2
00:22:22.603 --> 00:22:27.026
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>whether you want to or not.
We have this unfortunate belief that we</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1875-3
00:22:27.026 --> 00:22:28.587
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>can compensate for that.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1911-0
00:22:29.227 --> 00:22:33.367
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>But that is to a large degree not true,
and that these things get in</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1911-1
00:22:33.367 --> 00:22:36.007
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>subconsciously,
whether you want to or not.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1911-2
00:22:36.007 --> 00:22:40.207
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So just be careful about what you let
into your attention in any way,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1911-3
00:22:40.207 --> 00:22:44.827
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>because eventually you're going to be
permanently, enduringly altered by it.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1948-0
00:22:48.147 --> 00:22:51.524
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>All right,
so this is more a sort of a Buddhist</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1948-1
00:22:51.524 --> 00:22:55.605
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>philosophy yoga.
And this is again a heuristic that don't</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1948-2
00:22:55.605 --> 00:23:00.037
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>try to fix the inside with the outside.
That is your emotions,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1948-3
00:23:00.037 --> 00:23:02.147
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>your your internal discomfort.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/1956-0
00:23:03.187 --> 00:23:06.987
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I really felt I should be at this place
in my career. I really felt I should.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2008-0
00:23:07.827 --> 00:23:10.833
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Have these sort of outcomes or whatever
it is, right?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2008-1
00:23:10.833 --> 00:23:14.561
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Those are all external things,
but they're you're trying to fix an</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2008-2
00:23:14.561 --> 00:23:18.624
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>internal problem with an external change,
and this is doomed to failure.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2008-3
00:23:18.624 --> 00:23:21.239
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>These are like categorically different
things.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2008-4
00:23:21.239 --> 00:23:23.187
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>You fix the inside with the inside.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2043-0
00:23:23.347 --> 00:23:28.279
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>We'll talk about that in a minute,
but this is just a general rule that has</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2043-1
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:33.404
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>really helped me know on what level to
solve a problem if I am unhappy about a</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2043-2
00:23:33.404 --> 00:23:36.454
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>situation,
if I want to be doing or working on</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2043-3
00:23:36.454 --> 00:23:37.427
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>something else.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2080-0
00:23:38.307 --> 00:23:43.399
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>The real problem is the discomfort, right?
It's not the actual situation.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2080-1
00:23:43.399 --> 00:23:48.009
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And I recognize that if I try to fix it
by changing my co-workers,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2080-2
00:23:48.009 --> 00:23:53.307
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>by getting other people to change the
situation to change, my job to change.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2123-0
00:23:53.667 --> 00:23:58.662
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I am perpetuating a problem because now I
need the world to be a specific way to be</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2123-1
00:23:58.662 --> 00:24:01.220
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>OK.
So you cannot fix whether you're OK or</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2123-2
00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:06.215
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>not by changing the circumstances. Again,
within reason. If you're covered in ants,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2123-3
00:24:06.215 --> 00:24:10.972
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>you should knock the ants off of you.
Don't sit there saying that you can't fix</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2123-4
00:24:10.972 --> 00:24:11.507
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>the ants.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2142-0
00:24:11.507 --> 00:24:15.755
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I can't fix the inside of the outside,
but to some degree,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2142-1
00:24:15.755 --> 00:24:20.291
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and generally speaking,
once you've stopped trying to do this,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2142-2
00:24:20.291 --> 00:24:22.307
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>pretty much anything's good.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2158-0
00:24:23.507 --> 00:24:25.853
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So that brings us to the skill of letting
go,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2158-1
00:24:25.853 --> 00:24:29.677
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and I think there's one more slide after
this and then we'll we'll move to</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2158-2
00:24:29.677 --> 00:24:30.187
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>questions.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2189-0
00:24:31.627 --> 00:24:37.281
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>This has been a really powerful skill for
me and it works on retty much every level.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2189-1
00:24:37.281 --> 00:24:42.535
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>O once you've decided I'm not going to
try to fix inside problems with outside</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2189-2
00:24:42.535 --> 00:24:43.067
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>changes.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2224-0
00:24:44.707 --> 00:24:48.975
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>How do you do that?
A lot of that is done through just</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2224-1
00:24:48.975 --> 00:24:53.320
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>letting it go.
If you you sort of intuitively know what</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2224-2
00:24:53.320 --> 00:24:57.509
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>this is like,
if somebody makes you angry or they say</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2224-3
00:24:57.509 --> 00:25:00.147
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>something rude, you have a moment.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2262-0
00:25:00.307 --> 00:25:06.407
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>After the reaction where it's no longer
happening anymore and you've moved on and</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2262-1
00:25:06.407 --> 00:25:11.094
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>you can either let it go or you can allow
it to keep stocking.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2262-2
00:25:11.094 --> 00:25:16.227
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So we all sort of know what this is like
for emotions. It works for.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2312-0
00:25:16.387 --> 00:25:19.374
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Thoughts.
It works for all sorts of problems,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2312-1
00:25:19.374 --> 00:25:24.049
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>beliefs. It is a sort of internal,
like relaxing of your grip, sort of,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2312-2
00:25:24.049 --> 00:25:28.204
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and just no longer perpetuating a line of

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2312-3
00:25:28.204 --> 00:25:33.463
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And it is an absolute master skill and

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2312-4
00:25:33.463 --> 00:25:34.307
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>can practice.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2360-0
00:25:34.387 --> 00:25:38.597
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>In literally everything. Oh,
they didn't put chocolate syrup on my ice</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2360-1
00:25:38.597 --> 00:25:42.273
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>cream that I ordered.
There's a chance to practice letting it</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2360-2
00:25:42.273 --> 00:25:44.882
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>go. You practice it at every level. Oh,
OK,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2360-3
00:25:44.882 --> 00:25:49.329
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>they didn't mention me in this this
month's like team meeting or whatever.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2360-4
00:25:49.329 --> 00:25:51.107
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>There's a chance to let it go.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2376-0
00:25:51.107 --> 00:25:56.126
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And it changes the way once you view this
as a game you can play all the time,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2376-1
00:25:56.126 --> 00:25:58.667
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>changes the way you approach everything.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2378-0
00:26:00.907 --> 00:26:02.267
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So that brings us.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2405-0
00:26:03.107 --> 00:26:07.385
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>To how to view discomfort and the urge to
withdraw.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2405-1
00:26:07.385 --> 00:26:13.307
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>This one has been extremely helpful,
especially in an age where people.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2447-0
00:26:14.787 --> 00:26:18.560
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Human connection is not a given anymore.
It's almost something we're recreating.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2447-1
00:26:18.560 --> 00:26:22.099
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>For some people it's easier than others,
but we have to, like, recreate it.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2447-2
00:26:22.099 --> 00:26:24.567
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And when you do these things,
of course it cascades.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2447-3
00:26:24.567 --> 00:26:27.827
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Other people do the same thing and it
changes the culture around you.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2503-0
00:26:29.427 --> 00:26:33.783
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>But I encourage you to start to view an
internal sense of friction or tension in</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2503-1
00:26:33.783 --> 00:26:36.310
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>any action.
Should I speak up in this meeting?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2503-2
00:26:36.310 --> 00:26:40.396
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Should I say that building the, you know,
running these automation tests or</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2503-3
00:26:40.396 --> 00:26:43.999
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>whatever is a complete waste of my time?
Or refactoring, you know,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2503-4
00:26:43.999 --> 00:26:45.827
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>this old legacy code base is dumb.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2559-0
00:26:46.947 --> 00:26:52.637
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>You have a moment of tension like, uh,
you know what? I won't. Instead,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2559-1
00:26:52.637 --> 00:26:58.564
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I encourage you to start viewing that
initial moment of tension or fear or</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2559-2
00:26:58.564 --> 00:27:03.227
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>hesitancy again,
or the urge to withdraw as a signpost for</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2559-3
00:27:03.227 --> 00:27:06.467
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>uh, here is a moment for personal growth.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2592-0
00:27:06.627 --> 00:27:13.055
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Here's a challenge like and if you can
move through it, I generally do it anyway.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2592-1
00:27:13.055 --> 00:27:16.505
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Again, within reason.
Don't do dumb things,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2592-2
00:27:16.505 --> 00:27:22.227
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but you view this as a sign is like a
game that you are playing in life.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2604-0
00:27:22.307 --> 00:27:25.259
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And for me, like,
if you do this long enough,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2604-1
00:27:25.259 --> 00:27:28.467
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I've begun to see the world and my life
in it as.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2644-0
00:27:30.307 --> 00:27:35.416
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>A puzzle, basically.
It's a it is basically just the purpose I</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2644-1
00:27:35.416 --> 00:27:41.578
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>ascribe to my life in part is that I am
here for challenges to for personal</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2644-2
00:27:41.578 --> 00:27:47.254
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>growth and that whatever problem I'm
struggling with at the moment is</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2644-3
00:27:47.254 --> 00:27:48.227
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>essentially.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2705-0
00:27:48.227 --> 00:27:52.575
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>The exact puzzle I need to be working on.
It's always the one I need most,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2705-1
00:27:52.575 --> 00:27:55.299
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>no matter what is wrong.
If it's bothering me,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2705-2
00:27:55.299 --> 00:28:00.052
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>that's because this is an opportunity to
overcome it and to make it not a problem</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2705-3
00:28:00.052 --> 00:28:02.834
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>anymore.
That's the nice part is every time you</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2705-4
00:28:02.834 --> 00:28:07.587
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>face these moments of discomfort or the
urge to withdraw and you make it through.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2740-0
00:28:07.667 --> 00:28:10.545
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>This is classic cognitive behavioral
psychology.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2740-1
00:28:10.545 --> 00:28:13.657
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It becomes easier from then on.
You become stronger.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2740-2
00:28:13.657 --> 00:28:18.297
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It literally doesn't bother you as much
anymore until it doesn't bother you at</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2740-3
00:28:18.297 --> 00:28:20.881
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>all.
And what used to hurt is now painless,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2740-4
00:28:20.881 --> 00:28:23.347
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and then you don't even notice it anymore.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2768-0
00:28:23.427 --> 00:28:27.114
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So I would encourage you to view
discomfort as a sort of game.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2768-1
00:28:27.114 --> 00:28:29.865
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>You don't always have to take the
opportunity,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2768-2
00:28:29.865 --> 00:28:34.254
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but each one is an opportunity to make
your life a little bit easier and a</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2768-3
00:28:34.254 --> 00:28:35.307
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>little bit richer.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2814-0
00:28:37.187 --> 00:28:42.299
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I think this is the last slide and that
is the most important how to be values</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2814-1
00:28:42.299 --> 00:28:45.987
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>are unconditional.
So just like I talked about believing</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2814-2
00:28:45.987 --> 00:28:51.033
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>that your work has unconditionally
matters. What I do matters just full stop.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2814-3
00:28:51.033 --> 00:28:53.427
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It doesn't matter. No other outcomes.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2818-0
00:28:54.147 --> 00:28:57.387
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And determine whether it was worth doing
or not.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2869-0
00:28:58.547 --> 00:29:03.460
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>There are many other unconditional values
that are also worth adopting,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2869-1
00:29:03.460 --> 00:29:09.124
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and this is how at least I've had a major
change in my quality of life and I think</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2869-2
00:29:09.124 --> 00:29:14.583
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>in the quality of my work and what I'm
willing to do by adhering more to seeing</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2869-3
00:29:14.583 --> 00:29:18.267
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>my life less as a thing I plan out and
I'm trying to.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2911-0
00:29:18.547 --> 00:29:22.392
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Get right to a series of things that are
happening to me,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2911-1
00:29:22.392 --> 00:29:27.762
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>just like a stream flowing through me.
My job is basically just to react well in</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2911-2
00:29:27.762 --> 00:29:31.606
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>every situation,
and that one of the best ways to do that</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2911-3
00:29:31.606 --> 00:29:34.987
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>is with general unconditional values
heuristic so.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2970-0
00:29:35.267 --> 00:29:38.948
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It is a decision to be unconditionally
happy. That's a little hard.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2970-1
00:29:38.948 --> 00:29:42.304
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Unconditionally OK.
It is a that you can decide these things.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2970-2
00:29:42.304 --> 00:29:46.689
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I can care about my work unconditionally,
and there are many others that you can</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2970-3
00:29:46.689 --> 00:29:49.233
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>visit and this is not unconditional
gratitude.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2970-4
00:29:49.233 --> 00:29:53.563
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And these are just reminders of how to be
in every moment and that I have found</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/2970-5
00:29:53.563 --> 00:29:55.187
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>that framing my life this way.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3001-0
00:29:55.267 --> 00:29:59.463
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It makes every moment,
especially the small, boring ones,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3001-1
00:29:59.463 --> 00:30:05.179
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>significantly easier and much richer.
And so I would encourage you to start at</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3001-2
00:30:05.179 --> 00:30:10.026
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>least experimenting with,
rather than setting traditional goals to</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3001-3
00:30:10.026 --> 00:30:11.907
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>get what you want in life.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3049-0
00:30:12.067 --> 00:30:16.351
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Try viewing life as a thing that is
continually happening right here and now.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3049-1
00:30:16.351 --> 00:30:19.866
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And then, for the most part,
your goals are to try to adhere to</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3049-2
00:30:19.866 --> 00:30:23.436
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>important unconditional values,
unconditional love, do whatever.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3049-3
00:30:23.436 --> 00:30:26.018
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Pick whichever few make the most sense to
you.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3049-4
00:30:26.018 --> 00:30:30.027
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And now your goal in every moment is to
react according to those values.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3078-0
00:30:30.827 --> 00:30:35.606
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And see how profoundly it changes you and
how you interact with everybody.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3078-1
00:30:35.606 --> 00:30:40.448
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I think we'll end it there. There we go.
Yeah, QA. So I'll end the sharing.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3078-2
00:30:40.448 --> 00:30:44.907
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Does anyone have questions or comments?
I know it's a long monologue.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3116-0
00:30:56.187 --> 00:31:00.223
<v Prosceno, Chris (CAI - Atlanta)>Hey, Stephen,
I just wanted to quickly say thank you</v>

00:31:00.223 --> 00:31:04.411
<v Prosceno, Chris (CAI - Atlanta)>for this session.
Very rare that we have these type of</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3116-2
00:31:04.411 --> 00:31:10.427
<v Prosceno, Chris (CAI - Atlanta)>opportunities to have these types of
discussions and deep meaning discussions.</v>

00:31:10.947 --> 00:31:16.227
<v Prosceno, Chris (CAI - Atlanta)>And I I'd hope that you can take this on
the road on a road show through Cox Auto.</v>

00:31:17.587 --> 00:31:18.347
<v Prosceno, Chris (CAI - Atlanta)>Thank you.</v>

00:31:17.827 --> 00:31:21.431
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I I wouldn't know who to talk to,
but yeah,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3146-1
00:31:21.431 --> 00:31:27.902
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>if you've got ideas for people want to
hear the same talk again, by all means.</v>

00:31:27.902 --> 00:31:29.867
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Thank you for saying so.</v>

00:31:32.987 --> 00:31:33.387
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Hey, Josh.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3181-0
00:31:33.907 --> 00:31:39.060
<v Reddick, Josh (CAI - Atlanta)>Hey, Stephen. Long time, no chat. First,
thanks. I thought this was great.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3181-1
00:31:39.060 --> 00:31:44.487
<v Reddick, Josh (CAI - Atlanta)>I had one question that that popped into
my head while you were while you were</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3181-2
00:31:44.487 --> 00:31:49.227
<v Reddick, Josh (CAI - Atlanta)>talking. So you know, you mentioned,
you know, kind of being on a a.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3193-0
00:31:50.307 --> 00:31:56.214
<v Reddick, Josh (CAI - Atlanta)>Like a a bit of a low information diet,
you know, which I totally,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3193-1
00:31:56.214 --> 00:31:58.947
<v Reddick, Josh (CAI - Atlanta)>I totally understand. And then.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3234-0
00:32:00.067 --> 00:32:05.931
<v Reddick, Josh (CAI - Atlanta)>And then also like that moment when
something happens of pulling of like</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3234-1
00:32:05.931 --> 00:32:10.992
<v Reddick, Josh (CAI - Atlanta)>wanting to pull away.
And then there's kind of a triangle here</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3234-2
00:32:10.992 --> 00:32:15.009
<v Reddick, Josh (CAI - Atlanta)>for me,
the velocity at which everything seems to</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3234-3
00:32:15.009 --> 00:32:19.587
<v Reddick, Josh (CAI - Atlanta)>be changing these days.
How do you find balance between?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3244-0
00:32:19.667 --> 00:32:26.061
<v Reddick, Josh (CAI - Atlanta)>Not wanting to pull away,
being on low information and still kind</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3244-1
00:32:26.061 --> 00:32:27.707
<v Reddick, Josh (CAI - Atlanta)>of able to adapt.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3290-0
00:32:30.547 --> 00:32:36.508
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>When the large language models really
started popping off before the ChatGPT 3.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3290-1
00:32:36.508 --> 00:32:42.393
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>5 APII was like connected and a little

00:32:42.393 --> 00:32:46.938
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>the advancements. You know,
every stupid Twitter influencer,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3290-3
00:32:46.938 --> 00:32:50.067
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>literally anybody who had anything to say.</v>

00:32:50.147 --> 00:32:53.963
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Just diving into all the old AI channels
that I looked at.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3333-1
00:32:53.963 --> 00:32:59.137
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I was just drinking from the fire hose
and at some point I realized I have more</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3333-2
00:32:59.137 --> 00:33:03.276
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>information that I know what to do with.
I'm not processing it,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3333-3
00:33:03.276 --> 00:33:07.610
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I'm not actually using it.
And then I began to change my heuristic</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3333-4
00:33:07.610 --> 00:33:10.067
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>for what to pay attention to based on.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3376-0
00:33:10.267 --> 00:33:14.437
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Basically self-reflection of am I
actually using the information I'm</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3376-1
00:33:14.437 --> 00:33:17.761
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>getting? Because if I'm not,
it's actively detracting.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3376-2
00:33:17.761 --> 00:33:21.326
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It is like polluting like the work my

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3376-3
00:33:21.326 --> 00:33:25.375
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It is creating noise in my life.
It's definitely stressing me out.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3376-4
00:33:25.375 --> 00:33:29.907
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And I found that I kept reeling it back,
basically less and less and less.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3421-0
00:33:29.907 --> 00:33:34.993
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Until I got to a point where it's like I
can check in like on topics I care about</v>

00:33:34.993 --> 00:33:38.095
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>once a week,
once every two weeks and feel like I</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3421-2
00:33:38.095 --> 00:33:41.072
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>didn't miss anything.
And now when I come back,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3421-3
00:33:41.072 --> 00:33:45.972
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I have much more energy to go in depth
and I spend a lot more time doing stuff</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3421-4
00:33:45.972 --> 00:33:49.507
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and I found that I had more to share and
I learned more.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3468-0
00:33:49.827 --> 00:33:52.432
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>By yeah,
every now and then doing a surface check</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3468-1
00:33:52.432 --> 00:33:56.548
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>for what seemed interesting and but then
I would go very deep and then I would</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3468-2
00:33:56.548 --> 00:34:00.767
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>insist on using that information in some
way and that if I wasn't getting enough</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3468-3
00:34:00.767 --> 00:34:04.987
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>any information to do something with for
long enough, I took that as a sign for.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3495-0
00:34:05.187 --> 00:34:07.594
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>You know,
this is basically vapid and I kind of</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3495-1
00:34:07.594 --> 00:34:11.404
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>just wanted the dopamine hit or I felt
like I was having FOMO or something.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3495-2
00:34:11.404 --> 00:34:14.211
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So I reeled it way back and haven't
regretted it since.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3495-3
00:34:14.211 --> 00:34:16.467
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>We'll hope that answers your question
there.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3496-0
00:34:16.067 --> 00:34:18.427
<v Reddick, Josh (CAI - Atlanta)>Yeah, yeah, I think it does. Thanks.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3509-0
00:34:20.227 --> 00:34:24.054
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Just try it.
I think it'll surprise you how little is</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3509-1
00:34:24.054 --> 00:34:25.187
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>actually useful.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3526-0
00:34:27.347 --> 00:34:32.727
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Anyone else? Questions. Comments.
Got better ideas? I'm just one guy,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3526-1
00:34:32.727 --> 00:34:38.107
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>so if you have other approaches that you
want to share, by all means.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3567-0
00:34:41.827 --> 00:34:44.928
<v Lassiter, Beth (CAI - Atlanta)>I have a question, not an approach.
How do you,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3530-0
00:34:43.867 --> 00:34:44.027
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Sure.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3567-1
00:34:44.928 --> 00:34:48.480
<v Lassiter, Beth (CAI - Atlanta)>what does this daily practice look like
for you? Like,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3567-2
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:53.518
<v Lassiter, Beth (CAI - Atlanta)>are there certain touchstones that you
have within your day that you're like,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3567-3
00:34:53.518 --> 00:34:56.360
<v Lassiter, Beth (CAI - Atlanta)>Oh yes,
this is because it's so easy to get</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3567-4
00:34:56.360 --> 00:34:57.587
<v Lassiter, Beth (CAI - Atlanta)>distracted of like.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3591-0
00:34:57.987 --> 00:35:00.474
<v Lassiter, Beth (CAI - Atlanta)>I am.
I have so much experience doing things in</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3591-1
00:35:00.474 --> 00:35:03.738
<v Lassiter, Beth (CAI - Atlanta)>ways I don't want to, right?
So when you start a new behavior,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3591-2
00:35:03.738 --> 00:35:06.950
<v Lassiter, Beth (CAI - Atlanta)>it helps to have a little touch tone on
what that looks like.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3591-3
00:35:06.950 --> 00:35:09.747
<v Lassiter, Beth (CAI - Atlanta)>So I was wondering what that looks like
in your life.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3634-0
00:35:12.067 --> 00:35:18.440
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>But for me, like I keep it simple. I have.
I have a lot of systems and I've sort of</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3634-1
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:23.448
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>torn a lot of them down.
It's like self reform, self-improvement,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3634-2
00:35:23.448 --> 00:35:28.227
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>junkie. I still do it,
but now I just have less rigid systems.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3681-0
00:35:28.307 --> 00:35:32.262
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I still have my spreadsheet that has all
of my like rules and like habits and</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3681-1
00:35:32.262 --> 00:35:34.847
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>stuff in it.
I don't really look at this very much</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3681-2
00:35:34.847 --> 00:35:37.382
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>anymore.
So now it's distilled down to just a few</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3681-3
00:35:37.382 --> 00:35:40.373
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>things to remember,
and the most important of which that's</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3681-4
00:35:40.373 --> 00:35:44.124
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>relevant to this is meditation.
I do at least an hour of meditation every</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3681-5
00:35:44.124 --> 00:35:47.267
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>day, sometimes up to two,
depends on whether I can fit it in.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3721-0
00:35:47.347 --> 00:35:51.086
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>What's going on? But this is,
you don't have to do that much,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3721-1
00:35:51.086 --> 00:35:56.092
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but I I do that because it has made such
a profound effect on my lived experience.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3721-2
00:35:56.092 --> 00:36:01.037
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>The half-life of feeling good after that
is incredible and it that's what gets me</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3721-3
00:36:01.037 --> 00:36:03.027
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>back to zero, like a reset point.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3765-0
00:36:03.587 --> 00:36:07.326
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Of oh, my nervous system is good.
Like I'm fine staring at a wall.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3765-1
00:36:07.326 --> 00:36:11.622
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And that's really the benchmark is if you
can't sit in a chair. I literally,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3765-2
00:36:11.622 --> 00:36:14.803
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I call this the chair test again,
just to remind myself,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3765-3
00:36:14.803 --> 00:36:18.987
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>if I can't sit in a chair and stare at a
wall for 5 minutes and not be OK.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3806-0
00:36:19.187 --> 00:36:23.263
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Then I'm not OK. Like, that's the problem.
It's it's on the inside, like,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3806-1
00:36:23.263 --> 00:36:26.733
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and that's what I need to do. Amusingly,
that is also the fix,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3806-2
00:36:26.733 --> 00:36:31.029
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>is to just sit in the chair until you're
good. And it doesn't take that long.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3806-3
00:36:31.029 --> 00:36:34.829
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And then you approach the rest of the day
fundamentally differently.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3806-4
00:36:34.829 --> 00:36:36.867
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So that is a huge cornerstone for me.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3843-0
00:36:37.107 --> 00:36:40.664
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Even and it.
So I began to see meditation less as a</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3843-1
00:36:40.664 --> 00:36:44.083
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>sense of something to do,
like another checklist,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3843-2
00:36:44.083 --> 00:36:48.871
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>another thing I have to do.
But I began to really internalize it as a</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3843-3
00:36:48.871 --> 00:36:52.427
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>way to remember what it's like to be
normal and OK.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3853-0
00:36:53.067 --> 00:36:57.555
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And content no matter what is happening.
And then that becomes a sort of set point</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3853-1
00:36:57.555 --> 00:36:58.907
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>for everything else I do.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3894-0
00:37:03.667 --> 00:37:06.620
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I don't know if that fully answers your
question,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3894-1
00:37:06.620 --> 00:37:11.168
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but the rest of this stuff is like
keeping it top of mind and a lot of it is</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3894-2
00:37:11.168 --> 00:37:14.594
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>just done in the moment.
They're pretty simple practices.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3894-3
00:37:14.594 --> 00:37:18.137
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I like the journal,
but it's really not a list of things to</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3894-4
00:37:18.137 --> 00:37:20.027
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>do so much it is you have to be.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3937-0
00:37:20.547 --> 00:37:23.382
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>To hold the belief and believe it is
worth doing.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3937-1
00:37:23.382 --> 00:37:27.634
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And then life gives you the practice.
It's not like an extra thing you do.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3937-2
00:37:27.634 --> 00:37:31.489
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>You can keep going to meetings,
you can keep going in the elevator.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3937-3
00:37:31.489 --> 00:37:35.854
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>You can keep filling out time sheets,
like do all the things you already do,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3937-4
00:37:35.854 --> 00:37:36.307
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but now.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3977-0
00:37:36.547 --> 00:37:40.662
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>There's this added layer of a game that
you're playing with yourself,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3977-1
00:37:40.662 --> 00:37:44.482
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>where you're trying to bring these values
into all of your work.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3977-2
00:37:44.482 --> 00:37:47.950
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>You're trying to lean in heavily and do
something quality.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3977-3
00:37:47.950 --> 00:37:51.947
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Not because anyone makes you to,
not because you expect an outcome.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3987-0
00:37:52.707 --> 00:37:57.592
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Because it's a sort of game with yourself,
because you have to be here one way or</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/3987-1
00:37:57.592 --> 00:37:58.307
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>another and.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4004-0
00:37:59.947 --> 00:38:02.568
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It's sort of more fun and more
interesting, right?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4004-1
00:38:02.568 --> 00:38:06.217
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It's not an extra thing you do.
It's a it's a different way of viewing</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4004-2
00:38:06.217 --> 00:38:08.067
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and doing the things you already do.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4006-0
00:38:14.907 --> 00:38:15.387
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Cool.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4019-0
00:38:18.067 --> 00:38:21.253
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Any other questions or comments?
Don't feel like you got to stick around.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4019-1
00:38:21.253 --> 00:38:23.147
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I think we're we're at a bad time here,
so.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4064-0
00:38:25.507 --> 00:38:30.753
<v Irwin, Jeremy (CAI - Utah)>Hey Stephen, I I joined late,
but I like what I I I like what I heard</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4064-1
00:38:30.753 --> 00:38:36.074
<v Irwin, Jeremy (CAI - Utah)>during the time that I did join.
Like I cut out social media like many</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4064-2
00:38:36.074 --> 00:38:41.620
<v Irwin, Jeremy (CAI - Utah)>years ago and I'd find that I'm not
distracted really by much of anything</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4064-3
00:38:41.620 --> 00:38:44.467
<v Irwin, Jeremy (CAI - Utah)>besides what I I want to focus on and.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4104-0
00:38:44.467 --> 00:38:50.759
<v Irwin, Jeremy (CAI - Utah)>I think I'm definitely not as maybe
practiced as as you are in some of the</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4104-1
00:38:50.759 --> 00:38:57.050
<v Irwin, Jeremy (CAI - Utah)>some of your your daily practices,
but when I I think when I when I when I</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4104-2
00:38:57.050 --> 00:39:01.747
<v Irwin, Jeremy (CAI - Utah)>realized that things are gonna happen
regardless of of.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4137-0
00:39:01.867 --> 00:39:08.026
<v Irwin, Jeremy (CAI - Utah)>What I what I do or there's some level of
of acceptance or I can only control my</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4137-1
00:39:08.026 --> 00:39:12.209
<v Irwin, Jeremy (CAI - Utah)>own reactions,
not other others reactions to a certain</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4137-2
00:39:12.209 --> 00:39:17.227
<v Irwin, Jeremy (CAI - Utah)>situation like it certainly allows you to
like step back and not.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4143-0
00:39:17.587 --> 00:39:21.667
<v Irwin, Jeremy (CAI - Utah)>Be like emotionally heated in any sort of
moment.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4179-0
00:39:24.747 --> 00:39:29.253
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Yeah, that's the way.
I don't think you give yourself enough</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4179-1
00:39:29.253 --> 00:39:35.162
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>credit. That's and yet you're never done.
But it's it's just a different way of</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4179-2
00:39:35.162 --> 00:39:38.707
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>viewing life I think we would all benefit
from.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4221-0
00:39:39.667 --> 00:39:43.583
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Being more careful about what we choose
to care about. I mean, paradoxically,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4221-1
00:39:43.583 --> 00:39:46.445
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>I think that we're taking in so much
information. Again,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4221-2
00:39:46.445 --> 00:39:50.109
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>like I mentioned with attention,
like you cannot help but care about it.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4221-3
00:39:50.109 --> 00:39:53.774
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>This is how the human brain works.
If it if it's coming in the aperture,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4221-4
00:39:53.774 --> 00:39:56.987
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>it's affecting you on some level and
probably quite profoundly.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4257-0
00:39:57.427 --> 00:39:59.808
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And so the less,
the tighter your aperture,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4257-1
00:39:59.808 --> 00:40:02.459
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>like the more caring you can give to
everything.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4257-2
00:40:02.459 --> 00:40:06.787
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Like whether you're going to a Little
League game or you're just like writing a</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4257-3
00:40:06.787 --> 00:40:10.412
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>report or whatever you're doing,
they may seem like small moments,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4257-4
00:40:10.412 --> 00:40:13.387
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>but you have more capacity to care about
those things.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4294-0
00:40:13.827 --> 00:40:18.805
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>And you know, again, paradoxically,
those are the most important things in</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4294-1
00:40:18.805 --> 00:40:23.783
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>your life. It is small, boring moments.
That's basically almost all it is.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4294-2
00:40:23.783 --> 00:40:26.770
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>But it kind of stops being small and
boring,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4294-3
00:40:26.770 --> 00:40:31.747
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and it does get imbued with this extra
like weight of meaning and purpose.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4319-0
00:40:31.947 --> 00:40:35.780
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>As you withdraw from the things that
really didn't matter to you,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4319-1
00:40:35.780 --> 00:40:39.380
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>and you don't need to feel any guilt
about doing that either.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4319-2
00:40:39.380 --> 00:40:42.747
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>So sounds like you're doing a good job to
me. Keep it up.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4320-0
00:40:41.827 --> 00:40:45.707
<v Irwin, Jeremy (CAI - Utah)>I like your talk. Good Good work.
Thank you.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4323-0
00:40:50.627 --> 00:40:52.427
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Anybody else?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4335-0
00:40:54.947 --> 00:40:57.427
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Questions, comments or there's some chat?</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4342-0
00:40:59.587 --> 00:41:01.876
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Cool.
I was probably more peppy in the first</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4342-1
00:41:01.876 --> 00:41:04.267
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>talk. I guess giving two is pretty tiring,
so.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4354-0
00:41:04.907 --> 00:41:07.492
<v Davis, Andrew (CAI - Burlington)>It is tiring.
Thanks for doing it back-to-back.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4354-1
00:41:07.492 --> 00:41:09.107
<v Davis, Andrew (CAI - Burlington)>I really appreciate the topic.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4355-0
00:41:09.787 --> 00:41:09.867
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Oh.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4358-0
00:41:10.427 --> 00:41:11.067
<v Davis, Andrew (CAI - Burlington)>Well done.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4362-0
00:41:11.467 --> 00:41:11.547
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Uh.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4404-0
00:41:11.947 --> 00:41:16.972
<v Miller, Jay (CAI - Mission)>Hey, Stephen, and I'll let the group know.
I actually attended your first session,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4367-0
00:41:14.347 --> 00:41:14.467
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>Yeah.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4404-1
00:41:16.972 --> 00:41:20.544
<v Miller, Jay (CAI - Mission)>enjoyed it so much.
And when you said in the first session</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4404-2
00:41:20.544 --> 00:41:24.297
<v Miller, Jay (CAI - Mission)>you were going to cover some of the
second-half of the stuff,</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4404-3
00:41:24.297 --> 00:41:28.777
<v Miller, Jay (CAI - Mission)>I wanted to join the second session.
So I want to at least tell the group</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4404-4
00:41:28.777 --> 00:41:29.987
<v Miller, Jay (CAI - Mission)>that's watching now.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4447-0
00:41:30.067 --> 00:41:34.421

00:41:39.500 --> 00:41:44.513
<v Miller, Jay (CAI - Mission)>there's a little bit of different talk
and there was also some great Q&amp;</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4447-3
00:41:44.513 --> 00:41:48.932
<v Miller, Jay (CAI - Mission)>A session at the end of it.

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4447-4
00:41:48.932 --> 00:41:49.987
<v Miller, Jay (CAI - Mission)>one of the best.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4453-0
00:41:50.067 --> 00:41:55.107

It's just that's how culture works.</v>

00:42:04.557 --> 00:42:08.849
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>It's just one person.

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4509-3
00:42:08.849 --> 00:42:12.151

important iterations on life.</v>

to to share their ideas too.</v>

00:42:16.787 --> 00:42:19.930
<v Schrembeck, Steven (CAI - Atlanta)>That's what makes it work.
There was somebody who had a hand up.</v>

dbaa5172-3d69-4e38-8350-cd1f46455303/4517-1
00:42:19.930 --> 00:42:22.347
