Hilarious siblings, Chris and Sarah discuss their podcast, fan mail, business cards, and post-vacation depression. They also mention their upcoming soccer game where Pittsburgh Steeler legend, Jerome Bettis, is playing against some UK team. They revisit for the umpteenth time, the confusion between England, the UK, and Great Britain.
The conversation then revolves around childhood memories of visiting Kennywood Park, an amusement park in Pittsburgh. The siblings reminisce about their experiences, including buying tickets, matching outfits, and riding various attractions. They discuss the high cost of admission and express a desire for an all-you-can-eat ticket.
Finally, getting back into self-improvement with the Atomic Habits of James Clear, Chris and Sarah discuss the concept of identity-based habits. They explore aligning habits with personal values and using habit scorecards to track and evaluate habits. They also touch on the four laws of behavior change and the implementation intention strategy. They conclude by discussing their plans for implementing these concepts in their own lives.
And here's a link to the Kennywood Park of today!
