Work Less Wednesday: October 5๐ Hey Reader! This is issue #212 of Work Less Wednesday, where I share with you 5 things you should know about, in 5 minutes or less. That leaves you with 10,075 other minutes this week. ๐๏ธ 1. New Podcast - โthe week that changed my life - rich diary 004โAnother week another new podcast! Last week was the 2 year anniversary of Hurricane Helene - which majorly upended my life - so this week for the first time I tell the full story of my insane natural disaster experience. In addition, I also discuss:
I welcome any and all feedback - just hit reply and let me know! โYou can watch the YouTube (video) version here.โ โOr take me on the go with the Spotify (audio) version.โ ๐๏ธ 2. ANOTHER Podcast For You - Do our gifts lie in our weaknesses or strengths?โMy buddy Patrick McAndrew and I run it back for another long-form conversation. Hereโs the episode description from Patrick:
This time, the inquiry from Rich is: When should you focus on your strengths or work on your weaknesses? There are periods in life when doubling down on your zone of genius and delegating all else is a rewarding and fruitful way to live. There are other phases of life when we need to confront our weaknesses - the skills or capabilities that are undeveloped and stand in the way of our growth if not addressed.
โCheck it out here.โ And while youโre at itโฆ โThe Art of Relating - October 24 + 25 in NYCโPatrick is going to be hosting a two-day workshop in NYC later this month called โThe Art of Relating.โ A two-day workshop to uncover the patterns that keep you from connecting and expressing yourself freely. Do youโฆ
If you answered yes to any of these questions, this workshop is for you. Iโve seen the effects of Patrickโs work firsthand and I can say with 100% conviction this event will be life-changing for the right person. โIf youโre in NYC (or can get there), here is the link to sign up.โ ๐ 3. Short Note I Like - Rick Rubin on ComparisonComparison is mostly pointless. Michael Jackson was much better at being Michael Jackson, and Prince was probably better at being Prince. You cannot really compare Michael Jackson and Prince, or Kanye and Drake, because they are giving you different experiences. Asking who is better is like asking whose diary entry is better. You do not need to make what someone else makes. You need to make the best version of the thing only you can make. ๐ 4. Life-Changing Medication For My Senior Cat - AdequanโTwo weeks ago we started my senior cat Larry on a new medication for arthritis called Adequan. It's currently used mostly for dogs and horses, but some vets are now using it off-label for cats. After just a few days, we noticed an INCREDIBLE improvement. He is more mobile and active than he's been in years. If you have an older cat or a cat with arthritis, highly recommend talking to your vet about Adequan. ๐ 5. More Things I'm Into This Week...๐ง What Iโm Listening To - Geese - Cobraโ ๐ Short Story I Loved Reading - The Man In The Black Suit by Stephen Kingโ ๐ Crazy Coffee Iโm Drinking - Paix Coffee Cherry Slushee - Red Bourbon Colombiaโ ๐ฌ Quote Iโm Ponderingโฆ โAt your birth a seed is planted. That seed is your uniqueness. It wants to grow, transform itself, and flower to its full potential. It has a natural, assertive energy to it. Your Lifeโs Task is to bring that seed to flower, to express your uniqueness through your work. You have a destiny to fulfill. The stronger you feel and maintain itโas a force, a voice, or in whatever formโthe greater your chance for fulfilling this Lifeโs Task and achieving mastery.โ - Robert Greene, Masteryโ โ
