The Debrief - Episode 4 William Von Hippel

There's always room for more coffee. Is there? Yeah, that's what I thought. My

heart was going at 23. Is it? Don't say that. Yeah, no, I won't say that. I'm not worried about that.

Coffee is life. Great place to start a conversation. Hey, guys. Hey, Patreon team. I'm here to talk about podcast number four today with Yas and also with Jaden. I had to think about you again. I need to talk to the other. Dr. William Von Hippel. Yeah, big. Very cool, right? Been on Joe Rogan. Diary of a CEO, modern wisdom. Yeah. Now one true measure. Yeah. Big deal. No, he's an amazing guy. And I think I've said it to you guys about him is that the really cool thing about Bill is he can talk about something that's intellectual, quite high level, but it's very, everyone can understand it, right? It's accessible to everyone. He makes it

quite tangible for everyday people. Even if you don't have that level of intelligence, you still kind of take away the info that he tells you.

Exactly. Yeah. Well, let's talk about the takeaways. What do you think? Looking at that, what were some of the things or would you take away and then also like questions you would have if you could talk to Bill? I

think it makes you realize how important connection really is and even the little things that you do by habit, how much of an impact they have on you. I remember you talked about... how you sit at a dinner table and you share parts of your day and that actually brings you closer connected

yeah

whereas you wouldn't even realize while you're doing it how much of an impact it really has on you

do you did your mom and dad did you or did your family did you sit at the table and eat dinner generally together definitely it's a big deal right

they made us do it and i think it was beneficial in a way you thought at the time why can't i have the tv on i know why can't we do this but now you look back and you're like oh it was actually a good

yeah what was it what do you think is because i i said in the podcast well i i grew up in a household was exactly the same for some reason mom and dad knew that was really helpful as well and i'm doing the same with my kids what was it about if your kid there what do you think like thinking back on it why was that important you think like what

I think just being able to talk with each other and even just share like the little funny moments or the bad moments of your day, like it brought you closer together. Like he said in the podcast, it just, it helps you in a way that you don't even realize. And I think it helps your communication now as an adult, like you learn to talk to people and you learn to share your stories with others.

Yeah. And that's, I mean, thinking about that, like people would argue you don't need to be a good communicator anymore because of technology, but I'd actually argue that sets you apart, like being able to communicate with people. Yeah.

Now, that's really cool.

And there's stats to show that... A couple of the things are predictors of like I think it's academic performance for kids. One of them is sitting down with your kids and it's like and having dinner. It's also like it's closely linked to healthy mental health states as well because
