Work Life Play with Aaron McHugh
Technology
Friends, this episode is part of my tenth-anniversary series. I began podcasting in 2012 with borrowed equipment, no training, and an idea I wanted to explore. I experimented my way forward-one tiny steps, then the next. Back then, there was no map to Podcasting. I booked my first two guests before I knew how to record and publish an episode (they didn't know that).
I knew not why but remained compelled to explore beyond the map of my life experiences, expand my mind and heart, and curate stories of good humans.
"This is something I can’t NOT do, for reasons I’m unable to explain to anyone else and don’t fully understand myself, but that are nonetheless compelling.” -Parker Palmer.
You're listening to a decade of exploration. The fruits are beyond just inspiration, but transformation for myself and many of you.
Enjoy, experiment, and keep going. It's worth it.
-Aaron
570+ Days of Running: The Joy of Being Alive
This episode is a simple recording of my run on day 570+ above the mountains of Telluride, CO. I'm not always enthusiastic to run again, the pull to do nothing-rest-make an excuse is real. This day, I celebrated the gift of being fully alive.
Backstory:
At the beginning of COVID, I decided to run a life experiment, inspired by my son Holden and the work of James Clear. 570+ days and counting, I'm growing an everyday muscle- habit streaking -by running a minimum of one mile every day.
Atomic Habits, Clear's book on tiny habits, caught my attention, giving validation to my question, "How can I just do it-stop the fits and starts?" Here are a few core ideas to his work,
+Become 1% better over time, not tomorrow.
+Make the new habit so small you can't fail.
+Never miss twice.
+Root your new habit or practice in an identity statement, e.g., "I'm an everyday runner."
