The conversation explores the movements and quests of life, the unpredictability of the future, and the diversity of human experiences. It delves into the concept of being the main character in one's own story and the impact of others as villains or side characters. The discussion also touches on risk management, the role of ignorance and faith in confidence, and the different perspectives people have that shape out experience.

Takeaways

• Life is composed of different movements and quests, some of which may seem like side quests but can shape the overall story.
• The unpredictability of life can lead to unexpected inflection points and decisions that shape the future.
• People have different perspectives and experiences, making the overall human experience diverse.
• Being the main character in one's own story means navigating the roles of others as villains or side characters.
• Risk management involves taking calculated risks and being open to the unknown.
• Ignorance can sometimes lead to confidence and a fearless approach to life.
• Having faith in the face of adversity can bring about positive outcomes.

Kara also talks about the influence of her mother and grandmother in shaping her understanding of motherhood and work-life balance. The conversation explores the importance of delegation, the need for self-care, and the constant juggling of responsibilities. They discuss the role of a conductor in an orchestra and draw parallels to parenting and leadership. They explore the importance of building trust and confidence among musicians, creating an environment of psychological safety, and inspiring individuals to bring out their best.

Kara emphasizes the need for conductors to be guides rather than dictators, allowing musicians to function independently while working together as a cohesive team. They also discuss the value of failure in the learning process and the significance of each individual's contribution to the overall ensemble.

Why should we always "think outside the box?" Is the box inherently bad? We discuss what "The Box" is, its meaning, and its importance.

• Humor and satire can be effective tools for drawing attention to serious issues and promoting understanding.
• Exploring different perspectives and challenging fixed mindsets is crucial for meaningful conversations.
• Planting seeds of thought can initiate change and promote open-mindedness.
• In political discussions, it is important to have a common goal and seek understanding rather than constant arguments.

• Spending time together is an important way to build relationships and create meaningful connections.
• Wasting time can be valuable, especially for creative individuals who need downtime to recharge and find inspiration.
• Shared experiences require presentness and active engagement, which is often lacking in the age of technology.
• Taking an active role in managing device usage is crucial for reclaiming meaningful experiences and making the most of our limited time.

Timeframe from Contract to Close

The Harmony of Identity

In Western music, there are only 12 notes. These 12 notes, in combinations and patterns, expressed over time, speak a language of the soul in words not formed with syllables.

The richness and color of music comes not solely from melody, which is a single progression of notes, but from harmony, where two or more notes come together to create a combined sound at the same time. The space between these notes shapes how the harmony sounds, or the tonality. This tonality is unique to that group of notes and defines the character of that sound.

Simple or complex, it resonates.

But did you know that the best sounding harmonies are based on a series of compromises? If you listen to a well-tuned piano, each individual note is not perfectly in tune to the exactness of its actual pitch. If it was, the instrument would sound strident and harsh and would not make you think of music. To make this instrument sound musical, a skilled piano tuner (as in, a human being) will start with one pitch, generally middle C, and tune that note to the calibration point, which is often a tuning fork that resonates only at that specific frequency. From there, the piano tuner will temper the tuning of the surrounding notes to that starting note. Meaning, they will adjust the tuning of other notes to resonate in context with the other notes to sound pleasant, not perfect.

So what of identity?

We do not choose the starting notes of our identity we are given in this life. Too often, we strive to hide or diminish a note, thinking it does not, or should not, belong. We may overplay a single note at the expense of our own dimensionality. Or, we try to make perfect each individual note and only end up in internal dissonance.

When in truth, all these notes together makes us special.

Whether close or far apart, those seemingly conflicting parts of us give us character. It’s a messy work of compromise and tempering, and a constant need to tune. But in the outworking, we find peace within the process of making the many notes within us, resonate together in imperfect harmony.

By what measure are you calibrating your starting pitch of identity?

How have you tempered the individual notes in your identity to craft your unique sound?

What harmony of identity resonates from you?

THE ESSAY

Korea – An Unfamiliar Place, Deep Within My Heart

My story, like many Korean adoptees of the 1980s, started with an orphanage, Korean foster care, and a plane ride before arriving stateside in the USA.

I grew up as a Korean adoptee in a small town in central Minnesota, as the only child in the family to older parents. Both my parents were the youngest of their siblings, and the timing of my adoption meant I was years younger than all my first cousins, and years older than my second cousins. I was alone in my age group within my extended family.

My adoptive parents were loving and provided me a stable home and safe place to grow up. And, the wisdom given to parents raising a child of a different race in those days was largely color blindness – to de-emphasize the uniqueness of the diversity of humankind by reinforcing the message that where you came from was not important, and that it should not be regarded as important now. While there are indeed shared human experiences across all ethnic groups, and key themes that should unite us as humans: Being Korean, which I am, was left in a neglected place.

And while my adoptive parents reinforced my personal value and worth, they did not know to educate themselves and learn more about where their son came from so they could share stories with him of his homeland.

I did not attend any adoptee camps growing up, nor did I learn anything of Korean culture, food, or language. My first exposure to something largely Korean was watching the 1988 Olympics on television. I learned what kimchi was in middle school, watching re-runs of M*A*S*H.

I do not believe the actions of my parents were malicious in anyway, but the silence in the deep place is felt, even as a child. Now in my 40s, I recently mentioned adding kimchi to my fried rice recipe. My adopted mother, now nearing her 80s, asked in all earnestness, “What’s kimchi?”

For years, well into adulthood, I shut the door to the unfamiliar place to preserve myself, and become somehow, not Korean. But the door could never be fully closed, and only by reopening it in my adult years after college and into married life have I realized the vastness of the place this has taken up in my heart.

As a dad to two wonderful children, now both in their teenage years, it has been eye-opening to me to listen and watch them identify openly and proudly as Korean, something that was silent for me well into adulthood. Their vibrance for life and their curiosity into their ethnic heritage made me realize that the undiscovered places within me needed to be explored and appreciated in a new way. I want them to see their dad grow and explore what it means to know yourself in a healthy way.

I have always been curious and love learning new things. I know that one of the best ways to learn is to immerse yourself in the subject matter. Any standing internal ambivalence about the leap evaporates when you take a dive.

With the economic consequences of COVID lockdowns to my personal finances, I thought any trip would be years out, even though the desire burned bright.

A trip to Korea represents the opportunity to dive into the deep, unfamiliar place within my heart and experience the richness of my heritage.

I have never been back to Korea. I don’t know who my birth family is. I don’t know any Korean language. I know little about Korean culture.

For me, my family, and my legacy: Let’s go explore Korea. Let’s meet the Korean people.

The land of my birth, the roots of my family, the place where past and present kiss and propel me into the future.

Unfamiliar places should not stay unfamiliar.

Korea, the Motherland. Deep in my heart, forever on my mind.

EDITOR'S NOTE: (Josh here) This episode is a very selfish one as I feel both Brian and I need to hear this again. Thank you for your continued support!

How has your position on the timeline of your life affect your wisdom? How has your perspective changed over time? What can you share with others that will help them leap in understanding beyond their years?

Touching on: Speaking less, the cover of words, real-world processes, emotional objections to logical answers, filtered synthesis of improvement, acknowledgement of contribution of others, deferring change for reflection.

Understanding change and progress requires us to understand the starting context for the change. If we can layer our thinking like color gels in a light rig, we will begin to see things clearly and with better understanding.

Here’s the article Josh references in the show regarding theories why stars disappear.

https://www.popsci.com/story/space/100-stars-have-disappeared/

When disaster “suddenly” hits, like the 2008 recession, how many people didn’t see it coming because they didn’t WANT to see it coming? 

When you have to start a project or task of any kind, do you ever feel like the classic sitcom dad asking back to the teenager child who is working an angle, “What is it, when is it, who is it with, and how much is it going to cost me?” Or do you feel like the teenager who has to work around authority by being vague and misleading to get something? We as show watchers understand the greater context and narrative unfolding, unbeknownst to all the characters. It makes for great TV, but a poor reality when you need a cohesive team.
