We invited our friend Bobby Lyte to join us for an awesome conversation about flow states, focus, deep work, and fun. Bobby is a DJ, producer, software engineer, and the host of Flow State – a podcast to help you focus.
We discuss topics including the states of flow: Struggle, Release, Flow, Recovery; Engineering; Managing, and of course, Management.
"Should we be communicating all the time? Most workplaces today are essentially turning humans into message senders and receivers – which is terrible for productivity. We're trying to solve complex problems. We need to focus and stay in a problem space to solve those problems, and the work environments are not helping us get there." – Bobby Lyte @ 32:13
"Revisiting a previous thesis of mine that's been established in the show: Management…" – Brad @ 34:04
"Your lack of planning is not my emergency." – Joe Zap @ 38:06
"The temptation to multitask – I could get ahead a little bit if I just send this email while I drive and eat and read the newspaper at the same time." – Kevin @ 40:30

Part Three: The Road to Eleusis
Chapter 8 - Catch a Fire
Chapter 9 - Burning Down the House
Chapter 10 - Hedonic Engineering
Burning Man: it’s a unique thing, and hopefully Donald Trump doesn’t know it exists
How important is Burning Man after the event is over?
For the individual, it’s akin to the idea of an ayahuasca ceremony where people often say, “the real work is after the ceremony.” Integration of the inspiration is the “work”.
What about for the community or society at large? Burners without Borders, Black Rock Solar, and other indirect influences.
Mount Hugmore
Because Burning Man is so inaccessible and inhospitable, attendance requires effort, planning, and intention, which fosters a grateful and positive community.
Summit Series: ski trip for the ultra successful
Mindfulness: it’s big business!
Yoga is bigger than football
The internet is doomed to be a tool of hegemony
Consequentialism vs. Intentionalism
Social media’s ability to divide populations in half in order to increase the marketable population of consumers, even more effective than 24 hour cable news
The term “conspiracy theory” was invented by the CIA
Weapons designed to turn us all into masturbating monkeys
Hedonic Engineering: get high with intention, and on a schedule that works best for you
“After the ecstasy, the laundry.”
Wabi Sabi - Japanese concept that values transience and imperfection
“The world is full of magic things patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” - William Butler Yeats
“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.”
- Leonard Cohen
