As a VP of Swell Audio for six years, I had the incredible opportunity to interview people from many different industries. What they all had in common was the desire to push into the unknown and find compelling reasons to push even further. It’s that constant hunger for discovery – even SELF discovery - that intrigues me.

I volunteered with the City of Los Angeles for four years as a volunteer elected official for downtown LA Neighborhood Council. And I learned a lot about how bureaucracy works. And I was on my couch with my marketing manager, web designer, graphic designer, who is based in the Philippines, and we were

In this soup of disaster. And we think about what this all means for the future, and everyone's saying it's going to get worse. And what disturbs me most right now is our leadership, the pointing of fingers, which is so childish. I just saw Elon Musk do a

I'm bringing this up in light of what happened this week with Liz Cheney. She received the Presidential Citizens Medal for what she did on the January 6th committee, specifically. So in some ways, you could say she saw something and she said something, she did something."

#NewYear #2025 #Perspective #PodcastRSS Click here to reply to @DBPardes "Remember in Dead Poets Society, a film that Robin Williams starred in as a teacher, and he asked his students to stand on a chair or a table to look down on the room to see it in a new way. They've only seen it in one way, sitting from the chair. How about popping up and looking at it from a different perspective? And what. That gives you a great metaphor, obviously."

And to see a man in the context of love is, for me, like a baseline of understanding who he is, what his character is. 77 years of marriage to Rosalind, it's just extraordinary. And he has seen so much change. And I think a lot of it has been very painful, especially thinking about the Middle east and how he tried so

And I found myself in a really happy place. Not in a place where I was judging what I couldn't do, but rather in a place where I could say, what can I play with next? What sounds gonna come up? What experiment can I do with music and sound and rhythm? And I realized I had it all wrong."

This particular documentary, which is really speaking to the heart of a divided nation, I want everybody to see this film. It's going to provoke feelings and ideas. I personally strategically have not seen this film because I want to be like you."

And then the trouble really began when we took a wrong turn and we were no longer on the road. That wasn't even a road. We were on a road that was, like, in the middle of nowhere. And we had basically had to go six more miles on the 14 miles road. We were in the car a total of 6 hours."

But I want to hear both. So I thought I'd pull in Michael Ehrenberg, who goes by Heycoach here on Swell, and ask him what it's like to live in two different cities and the tips and tricks he might have for anybody who's thinking about doing that.

They are much more nuanced. And I want to get into this because I think it's great for all of us to recognize that we all have soft skills that are marketable and they have hard value attached to them."
