How Precise Actions Produce Meaningful Impacts
from Only Human – News, Analysis, and Insights from the World of Human Performance · host Dr. Tony Kern
Modern technology enables instant global communication, microwave meals, and AI-generated artwork… but conveniences like these also come at a cost. In this episode of Only Human with Dr. Tony Kern, we explore why so many people find it difficult to connect the dots between their individual actions and any sort of meaningful impact, resulting in an epidemic of indifference. Far too often, we only make that connection when our actions or inactions lead to terrible consequences—for our personal lives, for our careers, and occasionally in the form of tragedies like January’s midair collision above Reagan National airport. Tune in to hear Tony’s thoughts on this accident and how the solution to all these problems is something we’ve lost in the Age of Apathy and Convenience: the pursuit of high precision performance.
