The Blunder Years, Episode 46: TiVo | Teenagers | Identity | Swim Lanes

I met this guest, Todd, on LinkedIn — I think that is an under-discussed channel of mid-30s and above male friendship, oddly — within the last six months to a year, I think. We interacted on a few posts about different work things and then taped this episode, which starts with a look at the early days of TiVo. Todd was actually in the room the first time live TV was paused. Then we get into parenting and the idea of 13 year-olds having a moral obligation to be dicks to their parents, and then we get into some life lessons including what he learned from a book called Cured. Along the way there’s also a discussion about swim lanes of life, and how to decide whether to even have kids. Hope you enjoy it. Let’s roll.
