Episode 114 - That's Not How You Play the Game!

from We Made It · host Jenna and Colin

This week we wonder if our parents’ generation have a different perspective on their relationship with time, specifically as they are retired. How much free time do the retired folks in your life expect you to have? Are you the kind of person that needs a plan before doing anything, or are you a free spirited individual who feels life can be more fun when you let it take you where it wants to go? Some people can be both, but they don’t switch well between the two. Don’t let bad communication upset you or the people you’re talking with. Most of us aren’t as good at communicating as we like to think we are. We talk about Pareto’s Law, the 80/20 rule; typically expressed as 20% of the knowledge gives you 80% of the results. Sometimes heard as 80% of the people consume 20% of our time. Are you getting the results you need from the things you’re trying to learn or apply? Maybe think about what that 20% might look like in your situation and get after it!CONTACT INFORMATIONEMAIL US // [email protected] // @WEMADEIT.PODCASTSUBREDDIT // r/WeMadeItPodcastTIKTOK // @WEMADEITPODCAST__________________________________________________RECORDING EQUIPMENTColin & Jenna both use this recording equipment: MAONO Microphone and HeadsetTHEME MUSICOur offspring and background music by:DJ QUADS - Bouquet of roses__________________________________________________SUPPORT & SHAREShare with your family and friends Listen to us on Apple podcast, Spotify, Breaker, Google podcasts, Overcast, Pocketcast & Radiopublic!
