The official Podcast for WWW.PELUSOPRESENTS.COM 

This weeks extended conversational Chaos was so chaotic we had to re-organize and re-record parts of the show.  Special Guests include Ms. Jennifer Kidd and regular co-host Aldo Peluso who together with Mike, discuss when is the right time to 'overshare' by using words such as Muxing, Nuance, and Takeaways.  Don't forget the bloopers after the end credits!  - don't forget to write reviews and share!  

Today we have Michele as co-host as Aldo is at an important offsite meeting (Does a sleepover for a 9 year old count as an offsite meeting?).  Michele and I have an extended Conversational Chaos where we discuss over priced fresh water fish, over priced plastic toys, and surviving an attack by Little Big Ears and the Hopping Gang.  The show also includes one of the best Post of the Weeks we've ever done about Jargon. 

Aldo Peluso is back as a co-host this week and for another chaotic conversation, this time about schools, deep sea diving, and student loan debt.  We also have a reading of a short but very interesting post of the week which questions the need for schools in our age of technology disruption everywhere!

In our longest episode ever, I have my wife, Michele Peluso as my co-host.  We discuss everything from kids and summer vacations to formality in the workplace.  

Don't forget to listen to past the end credits for the outtakes.  

Also, as always, don't forget to share.  

For the first time ever we have a co-host for this week's episode.  The problem with it is the co-host is my eight (nearly nine) year old son Aldo Peluso.  His opinions on broadband make the first half of the show very different than our normal thought provoking fare. You decide if it's better or unlistenable. 

The second half of the episode includes a reading of one of the best Big Problems, Big Solutions articles we have ever done.  This show we tackle broadband!  

Don't forget, we include the outtakes after the end credits if you enjoy that sort of thing!  

Have you ever wondered why someone would walk away from a job that seems to be amazing?  The kind of job most people dream of having?  In many cases the person walking away is doing it because they are bored in their career.  This article explores that boredom and what you can do about it if you find yourself in that situation.

Bonus: This episode is being released on Memorial Day, so we have some interesting and fun Memorial Day facts on the origin of the day.  

For some people there are actual places in the world that can facilitate the creation of happiness.    In this episode explore what they are and what it takes to have one.  Do you have a Happyplace?

Also WE DID IT!! This episode marks the first ever use of the mult-person podcast studio!  We discuss what makes you happy with Aldo Alexander Peluso and Antoinette Michele Peluso.  I figured the topic was kid friendly and as my kids they were here and have to do what I say.  That makes them the perfect guests, or so I thought...  

You'll see how good they actually were as guests if you  check out the bloopers at the end of the show after the end credits!

In one of the best 'Posts of the week' ever we discuss passions.   We all have some sort of passion we wish to dedicate all of our life too, but most are unable to do this full time.  How do you know when to follow your passion?  How should you follow your passion?  These questions and more are all answered in this fantastic episode of the Peluso Presents Podcast! 

Bonus: We hit the goal!  Listen and find out what's next!

Doc's spend more time in front of PC's than patients.  Employers don't want to provide medical care, costs are rising to unsustainable levels. The current infrastructure of delivering medical services is a challenge, and that's putting it lightly.  Every year it becomes more of a stack of cards that's about to tumble apart.  Here is one crazy solution to get the ship righted.  Can it ever happen?  Listen and tell me what you think! - Just be nice about it, OK?  ;)

The process of chronicling the collision points between work and life through the written word has taught me a great deal.  It's also changed me in ways I didn't expect.  The three year anniversary of the www.pelusopresents.com blog was a great opportunity to reflect on this.  I also get the meta irony of podcast that includes an audio rendition of an article about writing.   

Recorded in a stage whisper at 5am, this week's show offers a good update on progress on our audacious goal of 2 years worth of articles in the can for www.pelusopresents.com. 

It also has the audio version of our Technology Disruption article.  Technology disruption is here, and it's creeping up the knowledge chain.  Disruption isn't just happening to the unskilled labor class, it's happening to the professional class. This means awareness of disruption risks in your profession and a plan to deal with them are necessary to have.  This weeks episode helps with both awareness and developing your plan!

Organizations tend to be amoral.  They aren't good, they aren't bad, they just are.  So how do you encourage employers to do the right thing, to do the moral thing?  Can you do it?  Is it even possible?

Also here the review of Playstation VR.   Is it worth the money?  Is VR something you should run out and get right now?  This tech geek's answer may surprise you!

NOTE: Podcast and new articles will be posted on alternate weeks.  

Post of the Week:  Market corrections create a new normal. The new normal for Generation X means that life does not have many of the benefits enjoyed by the prior two generations.  

Media Musings: Final Verdict on Assassin's Creed: Origins.  Is it worth your time?

A note to my readers:

Today’s content creators such as myself work in a volunteer economy(donations).  This only is successful when there is a large subscriber base.  We (all the direct content creators) are doing our best to build traffic (and hopefully patrons) to help offset the hundreds of hours we put into these works for you, our readers.  Our success starts and ends with you!  It can only happen when you subscribe and repost, retweet, etc. and encourage others to do the same.  The links are below.  Even if you can’t become a patron at patreon, I do hope you will subscribe and share and help build our audience.  There is good stuff here, I hope you feel it’s worth letting the world know about it.   Thanks!
