Review of Josh and Tim Fireside Chat - Honest feedback

Honest feedback

☆

“Number 1 - MFJJ… you are the sole reason I suffer through listening to Tim the bumbling slug ramble on about his dietary revelations (spoiler alert- eat more cleaner=feel more better) and keep trying to draw correlations to his awful golf channel/experience.. I am also an avid golfer but don’t have a YouTube channel because I am honest with myself in accepting that I don’t have the personality for it or any truly net-new valuable insight… Now I get it, this dynamic is MFJJ the savant expert (which I believe) paired with a dunce in the thick of learning. It’s a smart model that has had me engaged since your first podcasts. It’s really unearthed a lot of great content that hit little intersections of brilliance that would resonate with a wide spectrum of folks of different experience levels. Expert stuff flies over 99% of folks heads and 101 stuff is boring for 99% of folks (I’m intentionally exaggerating)… BUT if you take a highly highly highly experienced and talented savant and pair him with the sniveling squirming village idiot… all you have to do is talk about the craft and a ton of value pops up in unexpected places for the vast majority of listeners. I love it. Now the one issue I want to address can be summed up in “know your place”. Tim, in this dynamic you have to have thick skin and try not to expect more than the good lord dealt you in life. Just because you have graduated from rolling like a wounded snail over glass shards to a hobbled slug commando inching over rock salt, it doesn’t mean any listeners are looking to you for anything more than being the village idiot. Stop trying too hard, lean into your lot in life and let MFJJ work his wizardry. Number two - MFJJ, part of the reason I have immense respect for you and enjoy your content is your dedication to be grounded in data, tethered to the scientific method. I propose a simple test for you to run. When you have conversations with various folks in your life, be very attentive to their demeanor and non-verbal cues when you tell them how busy you are. Do it with half, then with the other half don’t bring it up. I tell you this from experience, nobody really cares and you are sacrificing opportunity for actual stimulating conversation with another human being. My hypothesis is that you will look back on both sets of convos and have a profound epiphany. Please stop spending 10%-20% of your podcasts telling us how you are busy. I can appreciate your “full plate” but perception is reality for those suffering from this human condition and most people have perceived full plates and don’t give a rats fanny about you explaining yours over and over and over. I give this feedback from an honest and loving place. I hope it is well received (if you even read this far)… I am N of 1 and I don’t expect you to cater to N of 1 but I genuinely believe these are easily avoidable cringes that are curbing your potential. You asked for reviews… much like some bow manufacturers have asked you for. I ask you the same question you ask them when they are initially upset by your feedback… did I lie? Is any of this feedback completely fabricated and not based in truth? Love you guys! I hope you grow into the compelling disciples for us that I know you have the potential to be. Our little niche depends on you and people like you, so if I sound disgruntled its because you got me caring by flashing your massive potential early on. Rather than write this, it would have been a lot easier for me to just pop on another podcast and keep it moving. King Jay Kongren”
