Hi Todd, I love and appreciate your writing. Your stack is an important window into human behavior and your own deep thoughts.

A gentle suggestion: When you post about being on an interview (in many cases, Jerm Warfare), would you be willing--in the post-- to give the interview a title and/or provide a brief synopsis about what's being covered? I think you'd possibly gain more of an audience that way since some peeps (or maybe it's just me?) don't want to take the time to click on the link and listen in without knowing what's being covered. Sure, I like surprises occasionally, but given that my time is limited, I'd rather know up-front what's worth clicking on and devoting time to.

With only your name and your interviewer's name to go on, there's little to pull me in. Headlines can do wonders for attracting a wider audience.

Regardless, thanks for your wonderful Substack!

Thanks so much.

I think it is so funny you bring this up. When I was posting my Jerm interview of this week, I thought about just what you say here and decided it would be too difficult to come up with a blurb about the interview. They are always improv and we bounce around from one idea to the next without much continuity.

However, since you have brought it up, next time I will try to give it some sort of blurb...it will make me have to think...which is something I am having a harder and harder time doing.

Thanks too for your kind words!!

Hi Todd, I love synchronicity! Thanks in advance for a short blurb about your interview content. I realize you can probably cover a lot of diverse ground, and that's great, but a few themes presented in the blurb or title would be most helpful (and intriguing). Take care.

Two things-

1) a positive thinker sees the fire and roasts marshmallows. I am not a positive thinker

2) eeyore was always surprised when something good happened. I understand eeyore

Funny comments...to me all that positive thinking means is that you put worth where it is supposed to be, in the spirit, not the body. Negative thinkers, in this context, are filled with fear. A spiritually aligned person (a positive thinker) can face the fire, see it, and work toward putting it out, but know if it consumes them, nothing of real value is lost. "If I perish, I perish"...we also call this "bravery"...or at least used to when there were more brave people around...
