They met in January of 1986 at an introductory improv class taught by Cynthia Szigeti. New to Hollywood, both of them were told by established improv troupes (like The Groundlings) that they were too new to the business to join them.

It is too easy to make things up in macroeconomics without any ability to prove their validity. You can speculate on big things, but there are too many factors involved to track and validate their real impact on the outcomes.

You start to feel responsibility to right the wrong things, even if your children aren’t watching you. You get used to having authority of being your parent, and you’ll try to exert it elsewhere too.

As a parent, often times we can see why our parents made particular decisions and we relive our childhoods through our children. Much of what parents do is driven by what they want for their child/children.

Alex struggled with anxiety after having her child. She realized she had to take care of herself before being able to take care of the people around her. Things tend to come up around the house, and it's hard to balance work, motherhood, and random distractions. It was tricky to let go of the day-to-day parenting chores, but it also enabled Alex to work on her business and to be a good role model for her kids. You have to draw line in the sand and to stick with it.

Literally everything else.

A 1% rule is a way to get in the habit of making progress by breaking tasks into quantifiable percentages.

For example, instead of commiting to reading a book, commit to reading 3 pages of a book each day. It might takes you hundred days to read a 300-page book, but you are guaranteed to finish, so long as you read at least 3 pages each and every single day.

It is not representative. We are looking at different time series, where the number of people that died yesterday are, in fact the number of people that died yesterday. The number of people that tested positive yesterday though doesn't tell you as much because the test results take four days to get, they are delayed, and then maybe the patients did not show symptoms for 10 days before they even got test. So the testing data significantly lags the infected population, and may not represent much of anything.

It depends on the probabilistic outcomes and the value of one's output to our society.

For example, on one hand, we should not fail doctors who have made a mistake because we need good doctors to keep doing their job, mostly well. On the other hand, if a doctor is making mistakes over and over again, we should stop them from hurting people.

At the same time, if a restaurant in the neighborhood is failing because of low quality, we should let them fail and let a better restaurant take its place. The downside of letting a restaurant fail is much less than that of a doctor.

Team Scoutzie met with Anthony Armendariz early on in their respective careers, and quickly became friends.
