I was listening to a lot of Mixergy some 10 years ago and I really enjoyed it but for some reason stopped. I was looking for something to listen to couple weeks ago and after spending some 20 minutes to remember the name "Mixery" I listened to couple of his latest podcasts. It feels so different now. I think the general attitude of Andrew towards his guests has changed a lot. He is so pushy now and it feels like the episodes are more about him, rather than the story of the guest.

#32Aw, fuck. Now I want a boat.
Be forewarned. My favorite quote about boats: "they are holes in the water that you throw money in".

#33@robfitz, not related to the content as I couldn't get to that on Firefox 95 Opening the website returns: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY By a cursory glance, it looks like some misconfiguration (supporting HTTP/2, but no presenting TLS1.2 at the same time .. even that it looks available). SSL Labs results may help you diagnose [1] [1] https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.robfitz.c...
For what it's worth, I can open the web site fine on Firefox 95.0.2 / Windows 10, uBlock Origin, multi-account containers.

#34Rob - if you're listening, I enjoyed reading this but I don't know who you are and nothing on your website neatly summarizes that.
Google finds several people with similar names. I presume you're a tech entrepreuner so I guess this is you: https://www.crunchbase.com/person/rob-fitzpatrick
Which leads me to wonder what Dexio is but the Crunchbase link leads to an domain squatter and according to Google it's a Pokemon. :-)
EDIT - your twitter bio was more useful. I missed that initially. Still have no idea what Dexio is.

#35Well, that was quite something. > The funny thing here is that I'm 100% aware that our stories are wrong. Our own stories, doubly so. We back-fit narratives. Our minds rewrite what we remember ourselves thinking at the time. What are some ways to break out of this mode, and look back upon the timeline for what it was? robfitz wrote 'The Mom Test', so they must know!? > So our stories are wrong. But they still matter.…
>What are some ways to break out of this mode I would guess the best answer here is to write down everything. Keep a journal. Write down events as soon after they happen as possible, write down your thoughts about the event, write down your emotions and connect them to the events that generate them. I think a somewhat decent mental model here is to think of our brains as write-only memory. Every time you remember som…

Great comment, and this phrase is going in my pocket.
> write-only memory
Could this be The Secret(tm) to transmuting base lead into gold? Rewriting the very memories that make up one's life.

Agreed. I'd say that happens to most podcasts or YT channels once professionalism, agendas and routine over excitement kicks in.

Heya, thanks, it's a new site setup, so it's super helpful to hear about your experience with it -- I'll get that clarified. (I had nestled an about/bio link in the deep bottom-left sidenav, but it's admittedly very easy to overlook.) In the meantime, if you're still curious, the full bio thing is at: http://stuff.robfitz.com/about/

#38My own narrative and the accuracy or correctness of it was something that I thought about frequently. Then I had a child. It really helped put my experiences and my actions into context. I now find myself thinking more about the narrative of my parents, and previous generations in general. I feel like I give myself and my parents a lot more grace than I used to.
An important moment and transformation, well-described. Thanks for sharing it :)

#39Critique about the writing: BuzzFeed/Twitter-style 1 sentence per paragraph made me stop reading after the 2nd paragraph.

#40Aw, fuck. Now I want a boat.
I'm reading this on board my boat, getting nice warm feelings of empathy about single handing long flights of locks, and then Rob has to go and spoil the happy thoughts by talking about diesel spills and sinking :D
