    The idea of hardship vs constraint is so good. I've been deployed to the Middle East a couple times, which you would think would suck. You can’t go off base, there’s only one or two places to eat, there’s nothing to look at, and you basically do the same thing every day. From the outside looking in, you would expect people to hate it. But the crazy thing is, almost no one does. In fact, most people say they don’t mind it, or even enjoy it. They say things like ‘embrace the suck.’ Being in the suck brings everyone together. Because there is less to do, less choices to make, less to worry about, people are happy. You don’t have to worry about what to eat for your next meal, the Dining Facility decides for you. You don’t have to worry about what to do after work, because there are very few things to do. So you go back to your room, go to the gym, or go to the MWR and watch movies or play pool with your buddies. People talk more, they play games, they find things to do with each other. They bond over being away from their families, and over being stuck in the sandbox. The suck brings people together, and I think the constraint and lack of choice is what does it.

    It feels like Trevor is giving Simon a grand master class, but here's the twist-Simon is already at the master level himself, and Trevor is one level above in a specific area. That dynamic is what makes the podcast show so incredible. It’s like watching two experts sparring, not in competition, but in a mutual exchange of knowledge that pushes the boundaries of understanding. Simon, with his mastery, is already an authority, yet Trevor brings in a fresh perspective or deeper insights from a level of expertise that Simon doesn’t quite occupy.
    This unique setup creates an environment where both are constantly learning from each other.
    Simon, already skilled, gains new tools and ideas from Trevor’s deeper dive into certain areas. Meanwhile, Trevor’s ability to explain complex concepts in an accessible way elevates the discussion. As a listener, you're witnessing two top-tier minds bounce off each other in real-time, offering an extraordinary blend of wisdom and insight that you simply can’t get anywhere else. The show isn’t just informative; it’s a showcase of intellectual synergy that’s rare to come by-making it an absolute treasure for anyone wanting to level up their understanding or skills.

    I had a Trevor show on my bucket list and boy what a treat it was! We ended up going to Iceland for it which meant a very small venue, almost like a club setting. So intimate and real. The conversation with the audience was just priceless. He pours so much energy to his shows and is present like nobody else. An absolute treasure for humankind!
    If these two ever hold a public event together, l have to get a ticket!

    You guys together are absolutely AWESOME! I love, love, love watching you interact with each other. I learn so much from your conversations! Neither guy has to be right or IS right. You fully are able to disagree with each other, and you don’t stay there. You think and sometimes struggle with where the disagreement is, honing it from all directions, until you BOTH see the brilliance of where you’ve gotten to. Boom …..agreement. It is magical listening to you. It isn’t often that I see this kind of transparency rooted in such deep authenticity anywhere, actually, rooted in a friendship so valued. Thank you for giving all of us this gorgeous experience. It changes me because I am able to take in the sessions with a wide open heart because an open heart is so clearly part of your intention. You are expressing and modeling the new energy that is flowing onto our planet presently. Such a joy to SEE it on a public screen and to see it coming from two truly beautiful masculine beings. “When you make it GOOD, people will find it”. What you are doing together on podcasts is really, really GOOD. I’ll be watching for you. 🩷♥️💜🙏💚🩵💙

      You bring out an interesting, I believe, valid point. This is a format that I am able to LEARN from. SO much learning.
      How to discuss - not fighting, blaming and accusing, being condescending- DISCUSSING - a situation and concept with 2 people from different cultures & economical backgrounds, which creates valid views from other angles - a situation until they can boil it down to a digestible source of the disease. “ Yes, it was murder (the symptom of disease) but we all understand it (the source of disease).
      Also, I learned a practical, time & sanity-saving action for those overwhelming, often paralyzing decisions: Compare 2. Break the long, researched list of earbud prices and features into 2 at time, and choose the one. Bc on my budget, there is no room for mistakes. What I choose will have to last me for as many years as possible.

    I only ever knew Trevor from his US TV show but after watching a couple of his chats with Simon, I now know that he is really an incredibly articulate and thoughtful person.. The way he frames the "constraint" perspective is really powerful, as is his story about his mother's gift of consideration..
    As many others have pointed out, Trevor has now become one of those "must watch" for me.
    Thanks to both of you for sharing this conversation with us

    I think your conversation went full circle. People’s inability to consider other's perspectives creates competition among opposing groups. And both groups think they are right causing a sense of entitlement and control. This entitlement makes them feel like it is okay to hurt the opposing side. Even when hurting the opposing side only makes things worse people feel justified in it. When you consider others both sides benefit which is why helping others helps you, too. And hurting others hurts you, too. When you drop your entitlement and realize we are all more similar than different you can connect as human beings, not as a democrat or a republican.

    My wife and I fell in love over both small and deep talk, and both are just as meaningful to us. we love deep conversation, but we also laugh all the time, and that usually happens over small talk about whatever is happening, from driving for coffee to cleaning up after dinner. maybe it depends on how you define small talk. if you define it as simple talk, then most talk is small talk when you are doing something while talking. and that's where most of life happens. also we both work remotely, so we spend a lot of time together every day and we weave between small and deep talk constantly.

    Trevor's right about small talk. It is necessary for us to find common ground in order for us to share a bond that allows us to attack a problem or a situation or an idea together.
    That's why you can get a group of incredibly diverse people who have one similar interests and they can form bonds and lifelong relationships across gender and age and class and any other division you can dream of.

    Regarding reading, I have the same situation. People on social media like to judge people for not reading books. I try to educate those people that it’s not for the lack of trying. I have ADD too. I have toooonnns of books. I have started a lot of them, but, barely got to the halfway point. Now, I consume “books” through audiobooks. I listen to them while gardening, cooking, or working on something that is not creative. I have to be doing something at the same time, so, I can pay attention to the books.
