#36 – Pete Rezac: The Ritual Engineer
First job out of college was at a startup working on hydrogen energy.
Pete was unschooled (not homeschooled) through 7th
Didn’t believe his Mom when she tried to teach him the rules of English.
For math he was mostly self-taught and discovered the distributive property
Often school erodes children’s natural inquisitiveness.
Many smart kids were troublemakers because they were bored.
Decision on whether to homeschool his kids was not what you would expect.
Our brains have learning windows that close.
Science is discovering ways to open them back up.
The Anxious Generation, The Coddling of the American Mind, and The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt – Great books.
It’s not social media, it’s anti-social media.
“Mixed with Meaning” is his catering bartending company with custom cocktails.
He found people are able to be more present and connecting.
The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker
Bert forgot the joke. Thanks to Pete for remembering.
Why there is so much methane in Siberia.
Favorite spice (herb) is thyme. Clove is underutilized.
Pete would love to influence people to incorporate ritual into their lives.
