• 0:02
  Speaker 1: it's about showing up right, You on your side, me
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: on my side. That's why we created Arrow dot net
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: ar r oe dot net because I know what it's
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: like to be a podcast listener, because oh my god,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I am one and nothing, nothing gets me more than
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: when I'm in the middle of traffic and I can't
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: get to another podcast because it's on a different platform.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm trying to do it all on arrow

• 0:26
  Speaker 1: eyes on the road and the job. Enjoy the exploration.

  Speaker 1: Something our parents would say, you know, those old saints
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: phrases idioms. We kind of chuckle about it today, but
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: my god, when they first brought it up in a conversation,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: them and your friends, it was like, well, where did
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: that even come from? Sometimes it actually made sense, but
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: it had to start somewhere, right, Who, what, where, why, when?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And how? Some of those old saynts are not only ancient,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: but still carry a powerful punch today. In fact, I
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: live by one of those old saints. Winning is a choice.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: If you knew how many times people look at me
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and just roll their frickin' eyes, Winning is a choice,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it's a saying, it's an idiom. It's something that changes
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: people's lives if you really think about it. Ah the episodes,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: there's one thing. All we're trying to do is preserve
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: not only a language, but lessons in life. This is
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: something our parents would say, my name is Arrow. Nothing
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to write home about? Oh my god, how many times
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: have you heard this from your parents? Well before the phone, emails, texting,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and even some form of long form electronic messaging, soldiers,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: travelers and even those working afar wrote physical letters. They
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: sent them in the US mail. They wrote to families,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: friends and business partners. And it wasn't a casual movement.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: It had to be done. Writing a real letter took time, effort,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and even money because somebody had to fork out the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: bucks to pay for that stamp. Nothing to write home
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: about was actually pretty much saying that's not interesting or
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: something to put our focus on. It first appeared in
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: our communities of conversation in the late eighteen hundreds. Even
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: though the phrase hasn't changed much over the years, it
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: still represents how in the past people had to sit
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: there and take their living stories and edit them down
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to create information and or content. What used to be
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: nothing to write about is now intriguing content, a text
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: message that's updated, or a podcast episode. Nothing to write
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: home about comes from a time when communication was scarce
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and selective. Oh it was intentional. Moments had to be earned,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: though in the way of creating it and making it
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a part of your story. The phrase is actually what's
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: left of a time period that is long gone. Today,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: we are living in a world where no matter how
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: boring something is on social media, it could actually be
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a big, big attraction. Nothing to write home about. Give
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: me three minutes, I'll change that. They'll be talking about it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Who I'm Aaron. That's podcashing one on one
