  This is how to be a better human.

  I'm your host, Chris Duffy, and I'm not going to lie.

  The thing that I like most about hosting a podcast is how it gets edited.

• 00:10

  There is so much control that we have because it's not live.

  If I say something off-putting or a strange noise gets made, like, that can get edited out.

• 00:36

  But, but, but I have no control at all about what you think about each episode.

  What do you do with that information?

• 00:42

  How you respond?

• 00:43

  Do you love it and recommend it to a friend?

• 00:46

  Do you hate it and leave a furious review?

• 00:49

  Do you send me an email telling me that I need to invest

• 00:51

  in high quality lossages to make my voice sound smoother?

• 00:54

  That is up to you.

  that what we should be aiming for is a balance between control and letting go.

• 01:14

  She wrote a whole book about it that is called The Fine Art of Losing Control.
