The Stoic, the Psychologist, and the Warrior; three views on raising strong children.
I was thinking about three people who I read and listen to, and I noticed a through line in all of their thoughts on parenting and life, and as a better person you can be a better parent. A common thread over and over again.
Responsibility isn't punishment, it's a path to peace.
As a real life human parent, this mission is not clear or easy, but its an aim.

Episode 132, Dichotomy of Leadership
Today we read through a small portion of the lessons learned from this book and the optional workbook it can be paired with. We recapped a bit of our activities since being on hiatus for awhile. ;-)
Always good to sit and speak with this growing kid, who I'm happy to share what I'm currently learning and share what I can.
Thanks to @grok.ai2 for the fun images and video (from a photo in the book)
And thank you to @jockowillink @echelonfront @leifbabin
for the many lessons and ongoing leadership mentorship via their many channels. We made it fun but the lessons are well written and appreciated.

Whoa...
Lots of info, saddle up. This is a follow up to Ep 79, and I go through the updates to the Ripple vs SEC court case that was started back in Dec 2020.
Its inception actually started back in 2016, and facts have been brought to light.
It is still ongoing, and I find it very interesting and it has taught me a massive amount about banking, digital assets, and what's happening in the world and how money and how we use it and move value is changing faster than we realize.
Some links spoken about are:
We're back and bouncing around some different subjects, as usual going through my random notes I collect through the weeks in between each episode. Today we talked about editing on phones and tablets, an unexpected rowing champion, and manufacturing in America.

WHOA...another year gone. Another year of learning how to adjust to changes. Adaptation is a word that comes to mind, and for 2023, PREPARATION is main target.
I hope everyone had a great break, enjoyed your much deserved rest and relaxation. Time to return, and begin again.
This episode, and all from now on, have improved audio with some professional help, and I'm working to improve even further as I'm just beginning to learn the new tools. Mainly, you should enjoy less clicking, mouth smacks, more consistent sound etc. Thank you Kyle!

Back again, and much to cover. We go over status of gokarting and the many details that encapsulate getting up to speed on them, as well as the evolution from an idea to where we are currently. The focus and attention needed to compete I think helps with giving a big confidence boost needed during the transitional years of middle school too.
We chop it up and improv some which keeps this talk light and funny too, why not riff when we feel it?

This will be beginning of a few podcasts where I read from my grandfather's letters of stories of himself, his grandparents, parents, and his grandparents. My Berendzen side of the family apparently have all on some level left traces of history from each generation for the next to read and connect with those that came before them. I look forward to hearing the kids' responses when I go through some together with them.

Remember the body's state dictates our ventures in this life, do what you can with what you have. I try and remember that for myself often.

Ice Day, no school. Trees covered in frozen ice causing huge branches and whole trees to collapse under their weight. We were very lucky to only lose internet, maintaining power, heat, water, gas, and our trees collapsed in the yard not on our house. Whoa.
VERY fortunate.

This episode posted using HotSpot from phone to laptop.
An amazing and thoughtful conversation with Diego's previous 4th and 5th grade guide, Eduardo "Lalo" Martinez. I was honored to have him be a guide for Diego and also someone who is very encouraging of Sofia's baking which has given her much ownership of her own interests and skills.
Lalo is such an interesting and introspective person, and brings a seemingly bottomless well of knowledge and experience into any space he enters. I look forward to more conversations with him on different subject specifics in time. He has been involved in Montessori for almost 10 years and his passion for teaching only grows over time.
A father, Montessori guide, artist, actor, salsero, snowboarder, skateboarder, biker, hiker, reader, writer, healing arts trained and more.

Joined by a baking enthusiast, all around hard worker and dog loving super woman, Victoria Padron today! This was officially Sofia's first podcast with a guest just for her, and I was so happy that the joyful and warm company with Victoria kept her chatting us up even to the point I had to cut her off (believe it or not haha)
We cover a lot subjects ranging from baking, to moving cities, learning through hard lessons and mistakes, astrophysics, animal science, planetary musings, questioning the origin of the universe, favorite colors, and as always with Sofia, some jokes naturally. BORING!! HAHA.
Thank you Victoria for sharing your day with us and look forward to seeing her soon.

The most humble and interesting data analyst, Tomi Keah, spent his valuable Sunday afternoon with Diego and I, and schooled us on many various topics he excels and works on. Many great lessons he shared with us, and many which can be applied right away. With a very unique and introspective way to analyze the world, he has a special skillset to bring many aspects of data in its various forms together like a story.
Thank you Tomi!

WHO would have thought we'd make it all the way to now be thinking about careers and life after leaving the nest already? Crazy for me, exciting for Diego. Forward thinking will get anyone ahead, and I'm proud he isn't waiting around.
We discuss some details about working in the trades, college, and funding a racing hobby as an adult.
Then we skim over Secure Hashgraph Algorithm 256 created in the 1990s, a paper in 1995, and a patent on it in 2001. SHA-256 is the backbone of the BTC network. It was a first.
A new dawn is coming, and I've watched it like watching paint dry underwater.

Today we go over the lyrics from the song "That is not a Wizard" by Aesop Rock. We somehow lost Diego's mic at the end, but he had some great insight from the lyrics.
The song addresses the world in 2021 from the eye's of an American hip-hop artist in New York, but as always, he delivers prime, obtuse breakdowns of the strangeness we all encountered.

Today I sat with Michael Castillo, my mother's brother, aka Uncle Mike, here in El Paso, Texas. He was a turboprop mechanic for the C-130 large cargo planes during his time as an Air Force Airman at Elemendorf Air Force Base, and went on to other avenues afterwards but always maintained a high level of attention to detail and he and my aunt stood strong for many of us in the family over the years.
-----------------
When I was 12 he and my Aunt Sandy allowed me to live with them in Anchorage, Alaska for my 6th grade year of school. It was an incredible experience that they and my Mom allowed me to have, and has since given me the courage to explore and seek out new places and experiences ever since.
I'm thankful to have such loving family that I can grow closer to now as an adult.

After much time off, we're back, again. Enjoy our tonterias as we discuss Arnold Schwarzenegger's book BE USEFUL. A easy and fun yet inspiring read as he details the chapters of his life.
-----------------
Also we touch on racing, driving, investing, sleeping, exercising and more.

Be Healthy Yall and thank you for listening!
I'm back, solo mission, yes I sound weird because I'm reading slowly, don't shoot the messenger. Today is a semi-random purge of thoughts regarding why we hold onto certain or many beliefs or ideas, and how to be open to new information.
Quite relevant considering the current times we live in. Or maybe its always this way, I'm still learning as I go.

Straight from our minds a casual conversation about racing (surprise) but using and learning from Diego's driving instructor Coach Burrows. He is learning using iRacing and as best equipment that we can manage. This creates very lifelike driving skills that can be applied to the real track.
---------
Also, I talk about the genesis of BTC, and what happened with Silk Road 1.0, according to on-chain data.
---------
We also dig into the technical details of becoming a top driver from the eyes of Verstappen.

Join us for a cozy chat as we dive into George Orwell's classic, *1984*. We'll explore the eerie world of kid spies, crimethink, and doublethink, and see how these chilling concepts mirror today's news. It's a down-home discussion that'll make you ponder the times we're living in. Tune in and let's unravel this together!
Minds = Blown
Today we spoke with one of our new dear friends, who was kind enough to share time with us today as our first guest in Panama. Andrea is from Bolzano, Italy, and lived there most of his life before embarking on a journey to this new country a few years ago.
He and his family braved the unforeseen change ahead and have found new strength and meaning in their lives. We appreciate making such a meaningful friendship with our families, and his wealth of knowledge goes deep into the physical, mental, existential, and beyond.
His more than 24 year career as an Osteopath led him to find even more ways to heal with a holistic approach as opposed to a compartmentalized one, and therefore created his own path to work with others.
Below are his links and also I am adding the new found ways I use to now learn from our many friends suggestions and information that is in many languages, and these tools help me just like Google Translate does all the time. Don't let a language online be a barrier from reading and listening to others around the globe.Just living here exposes us to what's happening in many countries by speaking directly with our friends, and helps us get a pulse on global actions happening that otherwise we would have no true idea how to form an opinion.
