What did your kids learn today? In today’s episode of Never in Reverse, Doug and Jeremy discuss their experiences with public education. The cohosts are both fathers of children in schools – Doug’s children attend public school while Jeremy’s attend a private preschool, but previously attended a public program. Learn how public education is shifting to accommodate new technology, new curriculum, and new ideas – for better or for worse. Doug and Jeremy begin by discussing their family’s experiences with public school, from Doug’s experiences with new curriculum to the reason Jeremy began investing in private education for his children. Next, they move into higher education and public education more generally, and where they see cultural shifts impacting the education system. For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [3:58] Today’s episode is about education in America, particularly as it reforms in the current political climate. Jeremy and Doug are fathers whose children go to school, and their perspectives are based on their experiences. [7:00] Doug has seen changes both in curriculum and in the technology his children use at school. [10:31] Jeremy has a four-year-old and a five-year-old, both of which go to a private school. Jeremy says that he now has to pay for the experience that public schools gave him as a child, because public schools can no longer provide it. [16:59] For the most part, there is no reason to go to an Ivy League any more for a general degree. In the current job market, an English degree is not going to get you a career than will pay for your education. [21:40] Student loans are a hot-buitton political issue. Jeremy says that while people have to take responsibility for their financial decisions, there is also an inherent difficulty in being held responsible for a financial decision you make as a teenager. [29:10] Jeremy is seeing a massive shift in technology that he believes will revolutionize education, and may eventually make public education as we know it obsolete.

Hidden Power of rituals nobody talks about 34:15

Much of what we do comes from habit, whether we realize it or not. You weren’t born knowing to wake up and immediately check your phone – the habit developed over time, and now you probably do it without thinking. In today’s episode, Jeremy and Doug discuss rituals, from building healthy habits to breaking unhealthy ones. Starting from their work lives, Doug and Jeremy are both working to implement rituals and time-blocking at work, but this sometimes rubs up against the reality of work in a dynamic industry. In their personal lives, Doug and Jeremy use rituals to maintain their health and spend time with their loved ones while breaking rituals that no longer serve them. For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [3:12] Today’s episode is about the power of rituals. For Doug, time blocking has been useful, though his dynamic work environment sometimes prevents him from sticking to his plans. [5:35] Jeremy tends to take an in-the-moment approach to his work, which can have negative consequences in both his personal and work life. He is working to implement self-care rituals to counteract this. [10:35] In his personal life, Doug’s main ritual is working out three to five days a week.. He gets up between 4:30 and 5 to get his workout in before work. [16:10] Jeremy and Doug live very fast-paced lives. The constant flow of responsibilities can make maintaining rituals difficult. Jeremy points out the importance of living with intentionality. [19:58] Drinking was a ritual that Jeremy picked up from his upbringing. It took him time to realize that his environment led to this ritual, and that the ritual was not serving him. [25:58] By changing his rituals, Doug has made memories with his children that they still treasure. Rituals can be a key piece of living with intention and being present with your family.

FOMO vs. JOMO: The Life-Changing Route Towards a Purposeful Life 43:28

FOMO, or the fear of missing out, has become part of our vocabulary because it describes an almost universal experience. We all want to fit in to some extent, we all want to be the best version of ourselves, and we all want to please the people around us. But committing to too much can leave you drained. In this episode, Doug and Jeremy discuss the fear and joy of missing out. Jeremy and Doug also dive into the digital world’s impact on our fear of missing out, as social media shows us the best moments from everyone else. We can start to take our attention back by detoxing from the digital world, though it’s easier said than done. For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [4:40] Today’s episode is about the fear of missing out and the joy of missing out. The theme of this episode plays into the larger idea of the show to help people grow. [5:51] Doug does not worry about missing out as much as he used to. He still experiences some fear of missing out, but it is not as prevalent. [10:57] As adults, we also have to recognize that our children will have the same fear of missing out that we used to. Setting up an open line of communication will help your kids learn to be truthful with you and allow you to help them make better decisions. [15:12] As you get more comfortable with yourself, you also get more comfortable with your own decisions. This can help you “miss out” without the fear and self-judgement. [18:30] Jeremy and Doug move into discussing digital detoxes. Our devices can interfere with out connections, especially as we struggle to break the habits we’ve formed around technology. [22:32] One improvement Doug has made is setting limits on his email notifications. This helps him limit not just his time spent on his phone, but also the time he spends thinking about work outside of work. [29:00] Teaching your kids how to have a healthy relationship with technology is all about intentionality. You have to set an example for your kids through your own technology use. [35:30] If you don’t engage with your kids, especially young kids, you encourage bad behavior. They will start to act out to get your attention. [39:11] What do you do to settle and be more intentional? As men, many of us carry a lot of pressure with us as we try to tackle everything at once. We want to hear from you!

They give tips on how you can position yourself to quickly adapt to change and share their experiences with change and starting over. Adapting to change is a crucial skill for business owners.

To foster positive change in yourself, they recommend surrounding yourself with people who push you to be the best version of yourself.

On the business side, Jeremy embraces change at work and always looks for ways to move forward. [8:00] Doug brings up how starting over also related to automation and technology. While the processes your company has in place may feel comfortable, staying ahead of the curve should come first. [12:03] Jeff Bezos famously said that while his company has expanded to be one of the largest in the world, the time it takes him to make decisions is the same as it was when Amazon was a bookstore. [14:55] When Jeremy graduated college, he felt the transition from college to adulthood very deeply. [16:31] Doug feels that he bit off more than he could chew early on, getting married and having kids in quick succession. The recession coincided with these life events, and Doug had to learn to adapt quickly. [19:20] A big part of adapting to change in your personal life is accepting when you’re wrong, particularly in marriage. You have to be willing to let go of your old habits and ideas if they aren’t serving you. [24:49] Your friends can also impact the changes you make. Choosing friends who push you forward instead of holding you back can make it easier to become a better person. [28:27] It is important to lean on the people around you during periods of change. Everyone has faced adversity, so everyone has something to offer to help get you through it.

A big part of self-improvement, is adopting new habits, but making big changes all at once can be difficult. Trying to change your lifestyle all at once will make you less likely to stick with the new changes. However, big changes can also be made by compounding small changes. In today’s episode, Jeremy and Doug discuss micro-habits, which are small, positive changes that build up to help you make big improvements. They discuss how they’ve used micro-habits at work, at home, and in their personal lives. Doug and Jeremy begin by discussing micro-habits in the workplace, particularly how they get their teams to buy into new habits. They then discuss micro-habits as they have impacted their families, from introducing their children to micro-habits to implementing new micro-habits for their own personal growth. For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [4:26] Today, Jeremy and Doug are discussing micro-habits. In the workplace, micro-habits can help us make improvements over time through small changes.

A lot of us live in a world on nonstop work and focus, but this can often be self-imposed. Learning to set aside time for solitude and calmness can improve your mental state, your relationships, and your productivity. In this episode, Doug and Jeremy discuss solitude and explain how they have come to cultivate it in their lives. Jeremy and Doug begin by discussing their work, and how it often keeps them from having time to themselves. They discuss some of the boundaries that they have set to make time for solitude, and the areas they still have for improvement. They also explore how solitude (or lack thereof) has affected their relationships with their wives and children. For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [4:30] This show is going to evolve – Jeremy is interested in bringing on guests from all walks of life to explore different topics and experiences. [5:44] Today’s episode is about solitude, which can be extremely powerful. In the business sector, things are often high-energy, but it is important to schedule in time to think. [7:49] One area where Doug has improved at taking time for solitude is turning off his email notifications from 5 PM to 6 AM, which allows him to be more connected with himself and his family. [14:36] Jeremy and Doug do not have a great work-life balance as they still feel that much of the work falls on them. They see this as a growing pain in their company. [19:24] Doug has improved at finding solitude, but he still puts others before himself. This is something that Jeremy struggles with too. Doug wants to be there for his loved ones, and this sometimes comes at the expense of his own needs. [22:40] The age of your children can also play a role in how much solitude you can realistically get. When your kids are young and very dependent on you, it is much harder to take time for yourself. [27:24] Jeremy went through a period where his work consumed him, and it was a very dark time for him. By learning to take time for himself, he has improved his relationships and mental health.

Cultural Intelligence: The Key to a Richer Life Experience! 29:43

What does cultural intelligence mean to you, and how do you cultivate it? In today’s episode of Never in Reverse, Doug and Jeremy define and discuss cultural intelligence and explain its applications to their work and family lives. They give tips on how you can expand your own cultural intelligence and discuss why doing so matters. Doug and Jeremy both grew up in small towns that gave them limited cultural awareness. When they went to college, they began to interact with people from very different cultural backgrounds than their own. They have since learned from their company and their travels. For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [3:30] Today’s episode is about cultural intelligence, which is very relevant in today’s world an can be a blind spot for those of us who grew up in smaller towns. Jeremy and Doug gained most of their cultural intelligence in college as they met new people and gained awareness. [8:11] The talent that Fluent Conveyors sees and aligns itself with culturally is more global and culturally diverse than ever. That may be intimidating for a lot of organizations that want to create a homogenous environment. [10:17] Jeremy wants to start building cultural differences into the Fluent Conveyor’s company values. While efficiency and high quality are still prioritized, there are other values that the team should take into account to fully represent its teams. [12:55] One example of how Jeremy has had to gain cultural intelligence is when people ask for days off for cultural reasons that he is not familiar with. He has had to learn how to trust his team to make the right decisions and make up for any time they take off. [15:23] Cultural intelligence is also at play in families and relationships. Jeremy’s wife has traveled all over the world and brought Jeremy on international trips as well. He has taught cultural intelligence to his children by showing them different foods and traveling with them. [18:03] After Doug’s father moved for work at the height of his career, he introduced Doug to some of the new cultures he interacted with. Doug also learned from his wife, who was also more well-traveled than him. [20:00] Many Americans learn about other cultures through how American media represents them, which often does not paint an accurate or complete picture. [22:57] The best thing you can give your kids is travel. It allows them to experience a world outside of their own, which helps contribute to their cultural intelligence and empathy. [26:55] Cultural intelligence is also about self-awareness in that it requires you to understand that you don’t know everything. Team members with different cultural experiences will be able to catch blind spots that you will miss.
