Mikes on Mics show

Summary: <p>“The Mikes” talk about the various approaches to risk, especially when it comes to careers choices.

We don’t want to say whose fault it is, but it’s totally Vardy’s. Sorry for the temporary dip in audio quality, but we hope you’ll agree that the conversation is worth a little bit of static.</em></p> <p></p><h2>What Mikes Are Drinking</h2> <ul> <li>Mike Vardy - <a href="http://www.woodfordreserve.com/">Woodford Reserve</a> </li> <li>Michael Schechter - <a href="http://midnightsunbrewing.com/beer_meltdown.php">Midnight Sun Brewing Company | Meltdown Double IPA</a> </li> </ul><p></p><h2>Links</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://victoriafilmfestival.com/">‎Victoria Film Festival</a></li> <li><a href="http://bettermess.com/omnifocus-to-mind-map-using-opml-a-geeky-cry-for-help/">OmniFocus to Mind Map using OPML | A Better Mess</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.jonathancoulton.com/">Jonathan Coulton</a></li> <li><a href="http://bettermess.com/the-ideas-that-we-cant-not-do-but-still-havent-done/">The Ideas That We Can’t Not Do, But Still Haven’t Done | A Better Mess</a></li> <li>Follow <a href="http://twitter.com/mschechter">Schechter</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/mikevardy">Vardy</a> on Twitter.</li> </ul><p>This episode is brought to you by: <a href="http://squarespace.com/70decibels">Squarespace</a>, the secret behind exceptional websites.
