Quotes, some direct, some indirect, drawn from this podcast’s conversation, all of which is worth a listen if the following interests you:
Once you understand the way broadly you can see it in all things. - Miyamoto Musashi
If you don’t find out what misery is like, you’ll never know how you’ll react when it’s inflicted upon you.
People choose to find something to criticize instead of being inspired because they feel they don’t measure up to the sacrifice they see yo'u’ve made that they know they too are capable of but they have failed to act out.
Not giving yourself the natural activity of movement is robbing yourself of a part of the spectrum of experience.
People want you to be what they’re into, and if you’re not, they think somethings wrong with you.
Am I going to find a place to sleep? Stay warm? Have something to eat? Theres something heavy about having to worry about those things and equally uplifting when finding gratitude for having them.
If you do what the average person does, you’ll fail 9/10 times. If you go above and beyond the established standards, you’ll do something special.

Thank you,
If you got any value from this post or The Best of JRE, please subscribe on Substack to support; it makes a huge difference and I really appreciate your time here no matter what!Thank you for putting the bestofjre.online to use! I’m a big fan of the podcast for the wide variety of guests and ideas it has exposed me to. To supplement this wide range of mental stimuli, critical thinking skills have been necessary, to “separate the wheat from the chaff” as Jordan Peterson might remind us to do when gathering up what may be useful in the aim of transforming it into something even greater than its current form.
Many JRE podcasts are 3+ hours in length, and while often enjoyable, some are entirely tedious to listen to, and many are simply “filled with fluff.” I’ve had countless moments of learning and pondering while listening to good podcasts, and it is my hope to share as much of the good information as possible, and to leave out the unnecessary and the unhelpful in order to save time and mental effort.
Listening to podcasts has the unique advantage of giving the listener an opportunity to feel like a part of the conversation. Even though we are not there in-person to reply verbally, in our mind we are constantly weighing and debating the ideas that are presented. A quality podcast is a great way to fill your mind with interests, ideas, and information that can help you grow. It’s easy to get captivated by a talented orator, and even more fun to dissect what’s been said in the search of truth and understanding. At least for me, the goal is to learn as much as possible so as to navigate the world while making the most informed decisions as is possible. We all make mistakes and are all influenced by our biases, but we can also all learn to balance our weakness with strength.
The goal of any analysis should be the search for truth and facts that can be successfully applied to improve our lives as we all move forward. It is my hope with the Best of JRE to capture the most helpful and most human data I can so that we can all share in what feels to be unshakably true and inspiring. If there’s an episode of JRE or a specific topic that you think is missing from the Best of JRE, I’d love to hear from you!
