Young - EP01 - Self Love

Young - EP01 - Self Love

James (aka Young): In my first ever solo, short podcast (16 min), I experiment with a stand up routine that's incredibly personal and emotional... I was very much in doubt if I even wanted to share this. Then I did some cursory internet research about the effects of sharing personal pain: it’s been shown to help, not just the storyteller, but the listeners as well in their healing process.

So this is for me and this is for you.

I hope this helps.

Love,

James

佶明 （暱稱”養“）：這是我第一次單獨和短的播客（16分)。我是實驗一種單口相聲，是很私人，是很情緒化的。。。 我很懷疑要不要把這個播客公播。但我有上網研究一下分享個人的痛苦的好處是什麼：除了療癒講自己的故事的人，也可以幫別人的療癒過程。

所以這是為了我，也是為了你。

希望這可以幫助你。

愛，

佶明

Yin & Young EP27 - The Hoffman Process (and some Hamilton)

-
Episode Notes:
* Some friends of Dan listen to the podcast. 
* James watched Hamilton recently and is donating his car.
* Overall, the Hoffman process was helpful, though the cost is pretty high for a week (James was sponsored).
* At the retreat, no discussions about divisive things were allowed.
* Four step process that spans over 6 days: Awareness, Expression, Compassion/Forgiveness, New Behavior
* A lot of personal issues are traced back to parents/surrogate parents.
* The importance of FEELINGS.
* James goes through some of the exercises of the Hoffman Process and his reaction to them.
* People need to find love for themselves. You can't help others if you can't help yourself first.
* The Crow (1994), played by Brandon Lee, says this about motherhood:  “Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children. “
* Hamilton the musical: People are cast to replicate the original Broadway cast experience. Everyone sounds for the most part like the Original Broadway Cast recording.

Yin & Young Episode 19 - Own Worst Enemy

James and Dan discuss their past dating regrets.

James rehashes a recent date from the initial approach to the end of the date, where he foils himself with his need to control the narrative.

Being a director, James wanted to set up the scene with the perfect soundtrack, lighting, and conversation only to interrupt the mood with his constant staging of the moment.

Dan talks about his own use of social media and his online dating experiences. He also talks about when he gets in his own way.

The Thomas Crown Affair opened up a conversation with a date on ideal boob size.

Street Fighter II was more interesting than a random college hookup.

Space-Time bringing peace with choices.

The lesson of the day - Learn from your mistakes.
