Trav and Los intro you to the podcast :)

The intro episode

Be sure to tweet us @TravAndLos How to be self-learning I want to talk about  the most impactful concepts I’ve encountered and developed while optimizing my learning. This episode is two parts. Part 1 Intro (00:3:43) Summary (00:8:13) 1. Follow your curiosity (00:11:13) This is your compass for self-learning, and immersing yourself in the things that interest you is the best way to digest and make sense and understand your topic to it’s core. 2. Write it Down (00:16:53) It took me some time, but once I started organizing my thoughts on paper or computer  I noticed a profound change. Our brains are capable of amazing things, but by trying to depend on your brain to remember all of your ideas and to-do’s, takes a drastic toll for it to operate at its best. 3. Find your Ambassadors (00:20:09) This is important. Choosing the right people to take advice from in life is one of the most important skills to have.  Yes, a skill. Look for people that are humble, compassionate, and above all else are authentic/real. 4. Tune your speed (00:41:16) Finding the optimum balance between speed and comprehension is an ongoing process. Always be pushing yourself to find that sweet spot. Sometimes that means slowing down and at times that means speeding it up. Always be on the lookout for playback speed options in your audio and video apps. 5. Plan on Teaching (00:44:02) Everyone knows that the best way to learn is to teach it, and by opening myself to the possibility, I increase my overall understanding. Sometimes the way to create good habits is to trick ourselves into it. Outro to Part 1 (00:48:08)

How to be Self-learning Part 1

Be sure to tweet us @TravAndLos How to be self-learning I want to talk about  the most impactful concepts I’ve encountered and developed while optimizing my learning. This episode is two parts. Part 2 Intro (00:00:01) 6. Focus on Productivity (00:02:18) Hardest thing about learning is often finding time to do it. Working to become more productive will create the time and willpower you need. Focus on habits to increase productivity. 7. Mix it up (00:12:08) There are multiple ways to learn today so mix it up. Books, magazines, blogs, audiobooks, articles, podcasts, lectures, movies, documentaries, online video, apps, music and debates. Listening to experts disagree with each other is a great way to approach a topic with an open mind. 8. Avoid Confirmation Bias (00:23:09) Remember to always keep an open mind and seek out contradictory opinions. This will keep you more balanced, informed and objective on the topic. It’s easy to limit your consumption to content that agrees with you. 9. Bring your friends (00:45:06) Surround yourself by other people that are interested in the same things you are, it makes the learning process more rewarding. Book clubs, meet-ups, dinners or just spending the evening talking with someone close to you are great ways to grow and support each other. 10. Relate as you go (00:48:29) If you can attach a new idea or concept to something well established in your mind, grasping and remembering concepts becomes a breeze. I can retain new information well when I can draw connections to things I have experience with. At least Isaac Asimov  thinks this is were great ideas come from. Outro (01:03:00) Most important part to learning is putting what you have learned to use.

Los Talks About Life and Junk

Mustache, Mustache, Mustache, Mustache.

It All Starts With Writing

 Break it down   Make a list of the small parts of your project. Anthony Trollope, a 19th century writer said “A small daily task… will beat the labour of spasmodic hercules" Do anything to move the ball. Don’t end the day having done nothing to progress your work.   Rely on your preparation   Day work and Night work leave your work half finished and now all you have to do is complete your idea.   Get a ritual   Woody Allen famously said “80% of success is showing up” put your shoes on loses idea of a token.   Harness the power of Frequency   frequency makes starting easier frequency keeps ideas fresh frequency keeps the pressure off frequency sparks creativity frequency nurtures frequency   Prune the branches   Eventually the new branches will steal resources from the initial branches. Eventually the entire vine will succumb to systemic mediocrity. Cut out anything that is not essential   We don't have the luxury of inspiration. Inspiration is a nice companion on our journey to brilliance, but it is not a necessary companion at the beginning of the journey. Inspiration tends to join you when you are already on your way.  Todd Henry

First, what is a Visual Designer? A designer, who understands design principles and critically applies them to solve complex problems visually: balancing craft and execution. So, how do you become a better Visual Designer, if you have a grasp of the basics. You must design, with intentionality. That means that when you are designing, your designs are based on solid design principles, research, and attention to detail. How does one do that? You get good at asking yourself a set of questions while you design.  What is my type hierarchy? What patterns am I using? How do these patterns compare to existing or established patterns? What are the margins and padding rules? Are my icons clear? How consistent are my design choices? Does everything on the design need to be there? How would I define my color palette? Is spelling, grammar, and punctuation correct? What’s the content strategy? How does the flow of the page read? How would this design translate to another platform?  Practice, practice, practice. Show your work, get feedback. Observe design in the world and form opinions. Look at established design systems like material design and Human Interface Guidelines. Look at websites, apps, and excellent work on Dribbble and ask yourself: Why is this working?

Becoming a better Visual Designer

Trav and Los talk about the value of being able to doubt your assumptions and provide a little test that you can use to determine if your assumptions are based on good values.Ultimately, they conclude that if your assumptions are asking other people to change, they may not be productive assumptions.

Hello, this is Travis. Los has been roaming around in the Utah desert for a few months, And I'm alone in a hotel room in New york, trying to force myself to edit this podcast that I've been putting off for too long. This is a particularly hard episode to make. I'm guessing you've read the title, so you know what I'm talking about. In this episode Los and I agree to end the podcast. It's officially over. In this episode you'll hear me dance around the topic for a while and finally work up the courage to suggest we end. It's kind of funny, it's mostly sad, but also joyful. Los and I are going to talk about some of the standout highlights of making late nights for the past few years, and give short updates about what is going on in our lives. I like it. I think it's a good episode. You know, it kind of reminds me of this thing Los and I would always tell each other when making content like this; we would say "End strong" – just end strong. It's okay if you loose your place or stumble around in the middle, just make sure to end on a high point. — And I think we do that here. I think this is a beautiful expression of  what in my mind was always the best thing about this podcast: that Los and I love each other. I think that comes through —strongly.

How To Get A Job and Keep It

Why you should start publishing today What is publishing?  Creating content with a speciffic audience in mind.  Why you should start publishing today   You will become a better thinker Knowing a skill or a fact is something entirely different than being able to relate it to an audience in a relatable and consumable way. You learn to simplify and clarify, which is an invaluable skill.   You will be more intentional about your life Once you start writing about your life and the thoughts that shape it, you’ll begin thinking more intentionally about who you are, who you are becoming, and whether you like what you see or not. And that just may be reason enough to get started. Everything is a potential source for your next blog post or video or podcast.   You’ll develop an eye for meaningful things We pickup and discard valuable lessons every day. We have truly profound moments that never really crack through our ultra distracted attention spans. Being responsable to an audience forces to look at life with a new lens. You are more critical and observant of cause and effect around you. You learn to draw connections that you would otherwise have no real reason latch on to.   Make friends and meet interesting people This one is not hard to justify. We are on the phone right now with one of fthe coolest guys I’ve ever met and never would have had that oppertunity without making the descision to be a publisher.   You will be able to influence and inspire others. About 5 years ago I wrote a blog post in which I said (I know it’s tacky to quote yourself, but at least its not a tweet, thats always weird.) I said “To be a valuable person, to truly live an extraordinary life, you must strive to reach and influence as many people as deeply and as profoundly as you possibly can.” A few weeks ago here on this podcast I said that ”webs of weak ties are how ideas are spread” So basicly, start blogging and live an extraordinary life.   Build Confidence Like anything, putting yourself out there becomes easier with repetition. Standing up in front of people and relying a clear message, wether it’s to an audience of 1, or 100K, is a great way to build self confidence.   It feels really good when people appreciate you I’m not talking about an upvote or a like. I’m talking about when someone takes the time out of their day to thank you for being an instrument in changing their life   An audience is a hard-won, yet valueable asset that you can leverage throughout your entire career  recommendations job oppertunities buy your product promote your product provide resources offer moral support provide man-power be social proof be your friends

And that just may be reason enough to get started. Everything is a potential source for your next blog post or video or podcast. </li> <li> You’ll develop an eye for meaningful things We pickup and discard valuable lessons every day. We have truly profound moments that never really crack through our ultra distracted attention spans. Being responsable to an audience forces to look at life with a new lens. You are more critical and observant of cause and effect around you.
