I love this episode. I know it took time to prepare the setting but for sure it is worth it. Everyone was comfortable and relaxed . The conversation moved smoothly. The topics, the wisdom, experiences shared were so wonderful. Please make sure you put a segment of FIRE on Instagram to help others learn about it. As usual I learnt a lot.
Social Contact - You nailed it by being in-person. You can see the increased enthusiasm in Dr. A with his gesturing and eye contact. It brings the audience in a little more as a result.
*Note on Claire - Let her bring a topic in that she feels passionate about. Her engagement will increase exponentially as a result. She's the new voice of the audience and might ask about a topic differently then you or Jack?
RE World Cup, the Boston Group is being played roughly an hour south of the city. You are technically closer to Providence, R.I. (20 miles versus 23 to Boston). Next week England plays Ghana and seats I would have paid $150 to watch the Patriots are going for $2500 a peice. Another $250 to park the car? Still haven't eaten... but I never pay stadium prices, maybe a soda if it's hot.
Families are definitely substituting food options, hotel stays or some other aspect. These are money losing for cities. Boston has fan events, but then you hop on a bus/train to Gillette. The $60M-ish the Federal Government is offering per city is less than the cost.
Thanks, Lary. Your advice to Claire is great. She is preparing for the next pod recording. About the enthusiasm, in-person engagment allows for more emotional expression than virtual recordings allow. I felt at home!
I watched the episode on YouTube and definitely enjoyed it. I really like podcasts that feel more like real conversations than scripted interviews. Also, I hope you keep Claire in the conversation. It is always valuable to have diversity of voices and perspectives at the table. Good job!
One thing I would maybe challenge Claire and Jack to do is to push Dr. Al-Bahrani’s perspective a little more on air. I say this with a lot of respect because I admire him too, but I think good conversations become even stronger when people ask questions from different angles.
Every person brings biases to the table. Some are natural, and others are constructed through our experiences. That is actually one of the positive things AI has helped me with: it pushes me to look at different opinions, different ways of writing, different posts, and different ways of thinking, sometimes faster than I could do it by myself.
So my small suggestion would be: do not be afraid to ask more “why” questions on air. Sometimes we are afraid to ask because we think the answer is obvious, but life is not always obvious. I keep learning a lot by asking myself why, even with absurd things like, “Why do I love and hate running at the same time?” That was actually my pace question during today’s run.
Anyway, I would love to see you challenge Dr. Al-Bahrani with different views and perspectives. I think that could be a great addition to the conversation.
This is great advice. Thank you for being part of our mentorship community. I am sure Claire and Jack will take on your advice and apply it on the next episode. I hope it was a good run. I ask the same question too
I love the in-person conversation. It definitely sounds more natural.
Maybe you can join us for a pod? Given our work, we should be finding more opportunities to engage with each other; let's make it happen.
I hear there is a big conference coming up soon ;)
hahah. It is the best conference. We still need to host you here at NKU.
Totally agree
It's nice to meet the new member of the team
We keep on building. I appreciate your support, Antowan.
Yes so nice.
Thank you for your support!
You are amazing Claire. So natural, great, and comfortable with the Camera. Keep doing more of these episodes.
Thank you! This means a lot, coming from you.

Thanks for that recommendation. @Claire Maddox add that to our list of Instagram posts/reels
Noted. I'll be sure to include the FIRE segment in an upcoming Instagram post, I think it is important as well.
Thank you for taking the time to help the team!
Love this!
Can't wait till you join us!
I second this! I have been waiting for an episode with both Dr. A's.
