Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

This topic was suggested to me by a Quick Hits regular and I thought, “Are they different?” The thesaurus says they are synonyms. Hmmm – might not make for a very interesting conversation.
But I’m game for just about anything so… We gave it a try. Turns out, it was a really good, mind twisty conversation.
Rabbi Yonason Goldson compared optimism and hope to John Lennon’s “Imagine” and Paul McCartney’s “Let It Be,” arguing that one was more grounded in reality than the other.
Tim Hawkes, the managing director of Unlimited Potential, offered an engineering metaphor. “I think optimism is a belief without evidence. It’s a non-vectored point, whereas hope is vectored. It has a journey. ‘I hope I will be this.’”
Gary Fredericks, CEO of On Point Partners, said that optimism always stays with you. “In my business life, people ask me all the time: What are your goals? My goals are always 100%. And that’s optimism. I don’t think I’m ever going to get there, but I’m not going to quit until I get to 100%”
Are hope and optimism different things to you?
