Episode 19: comparative advantage and skill acquisition. It's looking like I'm going to be doing a whole series on the theme of skill acquisition, chasing down all the different nuggets that are related to it.

That was incredible. Great questions and answers. What a wonderful conversation. Interesting life... so far.

I have been dragging my feet on something important lately. You both lit a fire under me. So good. Thank you both.

+1. Outstanding conversation! I'll be listening to it again.

I am really glad you two liked it. It was really fun to record with @AxelHeyst and I think that comes through in our conversation. @AH really drilled into some things with his questions and we altered between heavier and lighter topics. I have a strange sense of humor that also makes an occasional appearance. Keeping life playful. lol.

tl;dl (listen) "Break your goals down into 20 minute chunks and then just fucking get after it. Life is short..."

Great conversation. I really enjoyed this one. Seeing how to engineer a full lifestyle and enjoy living it was great. After all, the end goal here should be to live a fulfilling and interesting life, so the practical example was great to see.

Loved this episode and hope there's more content in the future between you two.

[mountainFrugal]

Thanks @AE and @2B1S. We have discussed some ideas, but nothing formal yet. @AH has his "legs of oak" goal to attend to this summer. . Maybe when he is settled down again.

[AxelHeyst]

Yes there are secret projects in the works...

Last bit of content from me till I get back probably, an episode I finished editing and qued up the day before I left: a chat with JnG! I've been wanting to record with him for a long time and we finally made it happen.

PirateCaptainERE - Loved this. My partner and I were laughing at JnG's blunt ways of expressing ideas. Really fun and I look forward to stenciling some suits with JnG some day.

@AH -- I'm really enjoying your podcast. You've definitely found your groove.

@J&G -- I liked the point you made about how when you start optimizing something it's a sign that you're no longer at the f*ing around stage. That really hit home with me. I tend to pursue interests a little too long, always thinking there's more to learn (which of course there is, so a pointless metric). From now on, I'm going to use the urge to start optimizing as a sign that it's time to tuck whatever I'm working on into my tool belt and move on.
