Episode 545: Importance | PM Talks S1:E9 – Mike Vardy

In this latest episode of our monthly series, PM Talks, Patrick Rhone and I further explore the delicate balance between urgency and – more notably this time around – importance in our lives. We explore how navigating these two forces impacts everything from birthday parties to home renovations and even our evolving relationship with AI.

I don’t promote these enough but I really enjoy these monthly talks with Mike. Give this one a listen.

While one of the reasons oft declared for using POSSE is the ability to own your content, I’m less interested in ownership than I am in context. Writing on my own site has very different affordances: I’m not typing into a little box, but writing in a text file. I’m not surrounded by other people’s thinking, but located within my own body of work.

this whole thing is worth a read. Mandy is such a wonderful writer and thinker.

To all the guys out there, here’s my life hack. Surround yourself with smart women and listen to them and you’ll do just fine.

Uniqlo is actually good? – cliophate.wtf

I’ve always thought Uniqlo was one of these fast fashion brands, like H&M or Zara, that produces mostly okay clothing. But apparently, they use Japanese craftsmanship mixed with cheaper materials leading to quality pieces at decent prices. Huh, who knew?

Agreed. The embedded video is very enlightening. I have purchased all of my undergarments at Uniqlo (their AIRism line). I’ve found them to be fantastic as far as longevity, comfort, and value. Especially great for travel.
