Summary
Ever wonder, where is the sweet spot between pushing multiple projects forward simultaneously until you see which one is most likely to succeed AND drilling too many wells at the same time, ensuring that even though all may have serious potential, you never get enough traction in any to hit oil in any, let alone signal it’s the right one to move forward? That’s why my motto for this year has become "fewer things better. And, that's what we’re talking about on today’s riff.
Good Life Science Update. And, on the science side of things, today, we're diving into a cool new study on the relationship between money, happiness and fulfillment. And, as always, for those who want to go to the source, here's a link to more about the study.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, it's Jonathan. |
| 0:05.4 | So before we dive into today's show, I've gotten an update about the format of the podcast |
| 0:11.9 | moving forward. |
| 0:12.9 | So as long time listeners know and newer listeners are about to know, we are always working |
| 0:19.6 | on exploring ways to bring you more of what you want, and less of what you don't want. |
| 0:25.3 | So we've been looking to and listening to trends, both on our show and across the podcast |
| 0:31.4 | universe. |
| 0:32.6 | What we realized was that what we love producing two shows a week, it's been a lot of fun. |
| 0:38.3 | It's also been creating a bit of, let's call it, overwhelm, for a lot of people. |
| 0:44.9 | And in fact, our last survey, let us know that once a week is the sweet spot by a pretty |
| 0:52.0 | huge margin. |
| 0:53.9 | There's just too much to keep up on these days. |
| 0:57.6 | And we're all about ease, not overwhelms. |
| 1:00.5 | So with that, we sat down and we made a fairly tough decision to put our Thursday show |
| 1:07.4 | on hiatus, at least for the spring, and see how that feels. |
| 1:11.6 | So today's show will be the last Thursday update, at least for a while. |
| 1:17.5 | But don't worry, we're not leaving you hanging. |
| 1:19.8 | I'll still be sharing some of the longer thought pieces that you've been hearing on these |
| 1:25.1 | Thursday episodes. |
| 1:26.8 | But as more essays on various places around the interwebs instead, and honestly, many of |
