The JOMOcast with Christina Crook

Today’s show is a replay of a conversation I had with Anil Dash. Anil is the person who coined the term ‘JOMO’, and hearing him explain what JOMO means to him in this episode makes me beam at the impact the JOMO movement has.Anil is the Founder of Glitch, an app that helps developers code. We spoke about the origin of how the word ‘JOMO’ came to be and the beauty of missing out on the urgency of responding to messages and emails instantly.We also discussed why it’s important to not let people project their personal views onto us or choose who we should be, and how he advocates for ethical tech within the industry. Get more JOMO at jomocast.com and bonus content at www.patreon.com/jomocast  Check out the new JOMO Goods shop at www.jomogoods.com Book a 15-minute coffee chat with Christina - https://calendly.com/christina-crook/call Connect with Christina here: @thechristinacrookConnect with Anil at:@[email protected] www.glitch.com Music by Thomas J.

Today’s show is a replay of a conversation I had with Aaron Reynolds back in 2019. Our interview took place in my home office, which really felt like a meeting of friends. Aaron is a humourist, professional speaker, and the man behind the @EffinBirds and @swear_trek Twitter accounts. When he's not on Twitter, you can find him producing a series of podcasts and at ComicCons dressed as George Lucas.Aaron states that his mission in life is “to make social media less of a hellscape, by making it more fun and playful”. We spoke about how we can learn from our passion projects and our pain points, and slowly but surely steer ourselves towards something more sustainable and joy-filled. Get more JOMO at jomocast.com and bonus content at www.patreon.com/jomocast  Check out the new JOMO Goods shop at www.jomogoods.com Connect with Christina here: @thechristinacrookConnect with Aaron at:Twitter: @EffinBirds and @swear_trekMusic by Thomas J.

This week is an episode from a podcast I love called Freedom Matters. It's a conversation between host Georgie Powell and her guest, Guardian columnist Oliver Burkeman, author of the best-selling “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Humans.” Oliver talks about making the most of our radically finite lives in a world of impossible demands, relentless distraction and political insanity (and 'productivity techniques' that mainly just make everyone feel busier).Four Thousand Weeks (the approximate number we each have to live) is really about the power of embracing our limitations – about the difficult but life-giving choices we must make to miss out on some things to make space for what matters most.Get more JOMO at jomocast.comFind Oliver Burkeman at oliverburkeman.comListen to Freedom Matters wherever you get your podcastsMusic by Thomas J.

Many of us are entering 2022 optimistic but wary. I have felt this weariness in my bones. But you know the good thing about weariness? We must lay down our load and ask for help. We must surrender. And on the other side, we can find a fresh kind of freedom. I can’t think of a better guest to kick off the new year than poet Maggie Smith, author of the runaway success Keep Moving and the new Keep Moving journal. In true poetic fashion, her focus is less on achieving and more on trying. Because all we can ever do is try, right? Try to write a few good lines, try to launch a business, try to love better.Let’s begin 2022 with a simple commitment: to do more of those things that bring joy.
