Entertaining The Thought

swellcast.com/DBPardes

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.

Click here to reply to @DBPardes "And I've always wanted to do a kayaking week where I just kind of hopped in a boat and kayak different places and had a sort of a base camp. But in this situation I was, I got the best of both worlds because I rented a home through Airbnb that was literally on the water, that had two kayaks. But also we were able to go into the Olympic Forest and do some hiking as well. So the trip was both hiking and water and everything in between."

EMT in Training #HUMANSdbp Click here to reply to @DBPardes "So do you think you'll go into the specialty of it pretty soon after you get your training and your certification? That's the goal. I think becoming a dive safety officer takes a little bit more time and experience, because usually you're working with, like, universities or, like, major organizations where you're, like, responsible for managing and organizing a group of divers."

Yes, it’s a crazy metaphor for life Click here to reply to @DBPardes "In the case of really being witness to what this egg becomes, you can actually take that leaf off and put it in a container that has a lot of moisture with a bunch of other leaves, leaves of the same kind, and you can watch that egg become a very small caterpillar. And then that caterpillar grows and grows over a week period, maybe 10 days maximum, and it's ready to change. And then when it changes, it hangs on this little thread

Click here to reply to @DBPardes "It's more like something that sort of sparks their personality or a part of them that they're really happy about. So I want to answer this also because there's a question I get a lot about why did I move to LA? I've been here now, gosh, I guess 15 years, and people ask me, why did you move to la? And isn't it crazy? They ask? They always followed up with, isn't it so much traffic? And blah, blah."

And I wanted to just reflect on his life and what he meant to me growing up and what he meant to me as somebody who was so committed to media literacy. In fact, I'm going to share a link to an extraordinary media literacy website run by one of my mentors and heroes in media literacy, Renee Hobbs. But I wanted to specifically share this link because it's all about

Together…. Click here to reply to @DBPardes "I want you to hear something. Just listen. I'm standing outside and it's just in the middle of a big thunderstorm. But there's a break here in Baltimore, Maryland and you still hear the raindrops dancing on the leaves. But just a minute ago there was a huge clap of thunder which we never hear on the West Coast. It's just so beautiful. It makes me want to go outside and become my 3 year old self and jump in the puddles."

Click here to reply to @DBPardes "And I have nothing brilliant to say right now other than this is where I journal my feelings, where I journal my perspectives. But I think there are certain news outlets that are really helping us see what's going on. Others are sensationalizing this and pointing fingers. But I know from the boots on the ground that I know about in Israel how important this mission is, and it has been fulfilled. There was no civilian casualties. There was just people in the military

Click here to reply to @DBPardes "I imagine a bird does it too, when they're flying, like these little shifts in the wind. But to talk about it as a skill and as something we're aware of and something we could celebrate, I think is. Is particularly moving to me. And that conversation I had today really made me realize how much we do things in terms of accommodating, but not in a bad way."

That's everything. That's everything to me. And when people get sick, especially from something preventable, it has a huge ripple effect, not just on the individual, but it. It affects families, it affects work, it affects communities. So I just

Click here to reply to @DBPardes "So there's a lot. There's a lot of gratitude for things that happen quickly in some ways. But this conversation, we're sort of talking about this profound cycle of life that we are always trying to navigate. In times when we're confronted with it, sometimes we don't have to talk about it because we don't think it's part of our everyday existence."

WHY TALKING IS SO POWERFUL FOR OUR PSYCHES

Click here to reply to @DBPardes "There's a level of I am breathing in air, I'm pushing out words, I'm smiling, I'm thinking as I talk, and it's a very alive state. When I write emails, I'm much more in my head. I'm not expressing as deeply in email because I'm thinking so hard about every single word, even though I have a tendency to flow pretty well."

Specifically the fda, which really protects us from a daily mishap. Instances of E. Coli are arising in this country because the FDA is not able to look at all the reports coming in that they need to check out, particularly in this case, the safety of lettuce. Over 58."

Not just relegated to the Jews that I'm reporting on now. There are so many people suffering from hate. You could look at so many countries where it's institutionalized at this point, where the women in Afghanistan have less right than the average cat.
