Frantic Purpose

<p>Throughout my life I've made...a lot of content, and what I am most proud of is that I've effectively documented my life in segments.  I have "I knew it productions" for my teens and early twenties, "Shwangzorz" for my 20s, Memory Meat for the depression post military times, and I've been creating as TravisHobertStraw for my thirties.  Now I'm on the verge of getting married, and starting a whole new part of my life, probably the next 30 years or so, and I'm going to capture that with Frantic Purpose.  Frantic Purpose is a concept I use to describe how I attack life.  I am compelled to always be doing something, terrified of wasting any precious time, I'll talk more about it.  This podcast is life as I experience it.  I hope to make you laugh, offer insights, maybe piss you off, and generally stimulate your mind with interesting commentary.  If you're listening it'll be because of my refreshing take on things, and possibly the soothing tambors of my voice.  Join me in the next 30 years in life, and the pursuit of Frantic Purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /><br /></p><p><br /><br /></p>

Let's Talk About A.I

What will the future of A.I be? Will it be used to convince us that taking away our rights, and freedoms is a good idea? To topple our global communication infrastructure? To enable us to work less, get paid more, and live peacefully? Lets talk about it. I explore where I think A.I will take us, where do you think it will go?

To Future Fathers - What is Fatherhood?

What does it mean to be a dad? A father? A Papa? Is it just making sure the child doesn't die? Is it supporting your significant other as well? Is it just making sure there is food on the table and money in your pocket? I talk a bit about my opinion on what it means to me, to be a dad. What I want to accomplish as a father and husband. Things to aim for.

I Will Do This v I Will Try to Do This - Trying is Failure - Do or Do Not

It is that time of year, that resolutions you made at the end of year may not be going as well as you'd hoped. In this episode of franticpurpose I talk about negotiating a successful goal with yourself, by using more intentional phrasing. Instead of saying "I will try not door dashing this month" you say "I won't door dash this month". Changing the way you talk about goals with yourself and others, also making your goals and failures known, and more.
