Stuff I Learned Yesterday is a podcast intended to motivate and inspire you to learn something everyday. I believe that if you aren’t learning, you aren’t living. By taking time to reflect and learn something every day, you will not only improve yourself and your life, you will help make the world a better place.

Today I'm sharing something I've never talked about publicly. It's a story I almost waited to tell, because honestly, we're still in the middle of it. But I've come to believe that sometimes the most valuable lessons aren't the ones you share from the other side of the mountain. They're the ones you share from the climb.

I want to tell you about a pair of hands. Hands that could lay a straight line of carpet across a living room floor, split a cord of firewood without breaking a sweat, or coax a stubborn CV joint back into place with nothing but basic tools and a whole lot of patience. Those were my dad's hands. The post SILY 701- Hands of a Father appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.
Have you ever looked back at a season of your life that felt like a total waste? The season left you with feelings of frustration and regret? I've been thinking about that a lot lately, so you know I had to write a SILY about it.

Have you ever been so deep into something that walking away felt impossible, even when everything inside you knew it wasn't working? Maybe it was a job, a relationship, a project, a bad movie you sat through anyway because you'd already watched an hour and a half of it. There's actually a name for that trap, and today's episode is all about it.

A few years ago I was faced with a decision I knew was important. It consumed me. I spent weeks thinking about it. I consulted friends, colleagues, and professionals. I knew the stakes and I didn't want to mess it up. Finally, after carefully weighing the situation, I made my decision. And it didn't take long to realize that despite all my best efforts, I'd made the wrong choice. Fortunately, a voice emerged that became the lighthouse I desperately needed.

Sometimes the most important moment of your life doesn't feel like a moment at all. For me, it was a phone call I wasn't even on, made by two people who simply noticed a kid who needed someone to show up. This is the story of the summer that changed everything.

September 11th was an impact event. Kennedy's assassination was an impact event. We trust the accounts of those events from people who were there, even decades later, because impact events don't fade. If Jesus rose from the dead, that was the most profound impact event in human history. And the people who wrote about it did so at personal cost while eyewitnesses to the event were still alive to verify those accounts. Not for fame, not for money, not for power. Most of them died for it. People don't typically die for something they KNOW is a lie.

When he was only 16 years old, C.S. Lewis had his first vision of what would become the land of Narnia. Just a mental image. A faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. That's it. That's all he had. I recently had a dream about a mason jar full of honey. And when I woke up, I had to immediately write it down. We won't be visiting anything like Narnia today. There are no fauns, no packages, no lions, no witches. But I do hope this leaves you inspired in its own way.

In October of 1883, a boy was born in a one-room cabin in southwest Virginia. His mother died when he was just nine years old. By thirteen, he was writing for his father's newspaper. At twenty-five, his business went bankrupt and his wife divorced him. He remarried in 1910, launched various ventures, and kept grinding through failure after failure. Then, in 1925, he wrote a book that coined a phrase and introduced a concept that would quietly change everything.

I’ve made it no secret on this podcast that I am a super fan of the TV show LOST. I love the mysteries, and the beautiful setting. I love the way the character stories interweave, I love the lore and history of the island. There are a lot of poignant moments and pieces of dialog that still echo in my mind today. But perhaps the most tragic line ever spoken in the series was, “Something tells me he never got around to making that call.” The post SILY 693- Make the Call appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.
