He knows all too well the crippling grasp of fear.While in Tasmania, fifteen feet in front of a cliff in cold, shark infested waters, Mark hit a reef and instantly blacked out. Terror engulfed every inch of his being. Neck braced and hospital-ridden, he didn't know if he could ever surf again. At that moment, Mark made a decision never to allow fear to overpower him again.With his presentation business ” Life Beyond Fear”  has him deconstructing, fine-tuning, and personalizing emotional resilience techniques to successfully strengthen one's mindset and sustain long term performance.These techniques have helped him win an unprecedented three consecutive Oakley Big Wave Awards and cement him as one of the best big waves surfers in the world.  In this episode you will learn: How Mark overcomes the fear of surfing 50-foot waves and how you can apply these techniques to areas of your businessHow to get out of your comfort zone to get the experience you need to create that new comfort zone where new opportunities lieHow to build a personal brandHow Mark became a world-class keynote speaker when he couldn't even speak in front of a room of people at the beginningAdvantages of keeping your pitches raw and unpolishedHow to make your business more authentic and attract customersWhy having a high level of authenticity in every aspect of your business increases your chances of successHow to improve your presentation skillsWhy you need to have a plan in place for all business scenariosThe powerful moment that changed Mark's mindset after being told by doctors that he'd never surf againThe importance of building your own audienceHow studying standup comedy can make you a better public speakerResources Mentioned:Mark's Instagram AccountRed Bull Cape Fear (see Mark @ 48 seconds)Pragmatic ThinkingUpworkLinkedIn HelperMasterclassQuotes: When you push yourself through that fear and anxiety, usually the experience, feeling, result or success on the other side feels like that Holy Grail. You get that intrinsic reward and the external rewards that make it feel like a Holy Grail - like life's worth living.Talk to your audience like you're talking to one person, like you're talking to a friend and carry that tone. Match it to how you would just speak to a close friend, because you speak to your closest friends with the most authenticity.When you build your own audience you become like a small marketing agency yourself.There will be people that enjoy watching you do what you do. That's my model. Just stick to what you like. It's too tiring trying to be someone that you're not.What Business would you build on Mars?"It would have to be indoor wave pools. And surfing sells itself. All you got to do is offer a few free surf lessons and when people experience that feeling, what else is there going to be to do on Mars than ride a few waves? It will sell itself."Get in touch with Mark:markmathews.comMark on InstagramMark on LinkedInTranscript:Brendan:Mark, welcome to the show.Mark:Thanks for having me, Brendan.Brendan:You have an amazing LinkedIn profile, that's where I first found out about you. Can you tell us more about big wave surfing?Mark:Big wave surfing, I mean, that's my life. It's been my life for the last 15 years. It was my avenue to build a career out of the sport of surfing, even though I wasn't quite good enough or talented enough to be a competitive or a world champion level surfer.Brendan: Right.Mark:It was just this different avenue that I found that I could manufacture myself a career out of the sport that I loved.Brendan:Wow. When did you come to the realization that you could follow your passion and make that your career?Mark:It happened when I was about 20, so I was working, actually, here in Sydney, down at Darling Harbor, making coffees and cocktails at night. Out of the blue, I got asked to go on a surf trip down to Tasmania to surf a new wave that had been getting talked about in the industry. It was being heralded as one of the biggest and scariest waves that another had ever seen.Brendan: Wow.Mark:And no one had really photographed it at that point in time. And no part of me wanted to go and surf it, because I'd never really surfed big waves and I was absolutely terrified when I got the call. And it was funny because I couldn't figure out why they were calling me because I was kind of a no one in the industry of surfing.Brendan: Right.Mark:I found out down the track they probably called about 30 or 40 other surfers before they got to my name at the bottom of the list. Everyone politely declined because the waves sounded so scary, but I didn't have the chance of saying no. If I had said no, I would never have got my career off the ground because at that point, I didn't have the major sponsorships. Anyway, I went down to Tasmania, one thing lead to another and I ended up surfing waves bigger than I'd ever surfed before in my life.Brendan: Wow.Mark:And the photos and footage of that trip went around the world and I got my first surfing sponsorships and then that basically gave me the blueprint of what I needed to do to make a career, it was travel around the world, chase down the biggest waves I could find, surf them, create content, let that content get in the media and based on the media value, I'd get the sponsorship dollars.Brendan:Wow. So how big are these waves that we're talking about?Mark:Down in Tasmania, that first time, it was in the 15 to 20 foot range, but the way the waves break down there is what makes them so spectacular and dangerous. So super deep water waves breaking on a really shallow rock ledge, which magnifies the power and the spectacular nature of the waves. To me, way more dangerous than say, if I go and surf waves in excess of 50 feet, but break in deep water, while they look and are a whole lot bigger, it's nowhere near as dangerous or spectacular.Brendan:So in terms of taking that first step, I know that one of your mantras is life beyond fear, the other side of fear. So taking that first step. A good example, I just finished watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on Netflix and when he's walking over that invisible gap to get the Holy Grail-Mark:I know the one.Brendan:Yeah, it's that first step. And I can imagine these massive waves passing by and 15, 20 feet, I mean, up to 50 feet, as you say. Can you tell us more about that first step and how to overcome fear? Because I mean, it has parallels in business as well. That first step is always the hardest.Mark:100%. And that's the interesting thing, because as scary as big wave surfing is, and the thought or the reality of maybe drowning, for me, I find public speaking and keynoting that I do now more stressful. I get more anxiety from it, it wears me down more than big wave surfing ever did.Brendan: Wow.Mark:So that's where the corelation is between what action sports people do and what business people do because fear is fear. It doesn't matter whether it's a fear of physical danger or harm or a fear of failure or not being good enough or making mistakes. The way your body reacts is exactly the same. So across the board, I think that's where the relationship is. And then like you said, the Indiana Jones reference is perfect.It's like the steps across the invisible bridge to the Holy Grail, in my head, it's so terrifying to get out of your comfort zone to get the experience you need to create that new comfort zone where the opportunities are, whether in business or in the sport of surfing. But when you do that and you push yourself through that fear and anxiety, usually the experience or the feeling or the result or the success on the other side feels like that Holy Grail. You get that intrinsic reward and the external rewards that make it feel like a Holy Grail, like life's worth living when you push yourself like that.Brendan:Yeah. It's interesting that you say that you get more anxiety now about public speaking than big wave surfing, validating what Jerry Seinfeld always says, "Public speaking is the number one human fear, followed by death at number two." Big wave surfing, I can imagine, wouldn't be far behind these monster swells.Mark:Yeah, I think Jerry is definitely right. For an introvert, anyway, I'm highly introverted, so public speaking is the scariest thing in life for me.Brendan:So what made you jump into public speaking after your career in big wave surfing?Mark:I had a sponsor who sponsored me from when I was in my early twenties, his best friend was in the world of corporate training and had a background climbing mountains and brought that to the business world and then he had said to me, years ago, in my early twenties, that this is the career path that you should look to take while you're still big wave surfing, so that you can build it then and then be able to carry it on down the track when I'm 50, when I can't surf big waves anymore. 60, maybe. I'm pushing for 60.Mark:And at the time, I was like, "There's no way I'm ever doing that" because for me, I couldn't even stand in front of a classroom when I was a kid and read from a book, I would stutter so bad, I'd have so much anxiety, so it took a lot for me to be able to do it. Spent untold amounts of money doing every speaking course under the sun.But eventually, it was exactly like learning to surf big waves, the exposure and the experience just builds up and then you build that new skill set so that it doesn't matter who you stand in front of, who I'm standing in front now, I've got the tools and the skills to dig into my bag and perform on stage and I don't have to feel too anxious about it now but originally, it was tough.Brendan:Yeah. Do you remember your first big keynote speech?Mark:I do. I was in Hawaii and it was for an insurance company and I got offered the talk two weeks before the event and I didn't have a keynote at all.Brendan: Wow.Mark:So I wrote the keynote in the two weeks before. The only person I said it in front of was my mom.Brendan: Wow.Mark:And I did the keynote in front of her and she actually features in the keynote because she's one of my big motivators in life to be successful. And she had a tear in her eye when I told her and that was kind of enough, I was like, "Okay. We'll see how it goes." And if I look back on the delivery of the keynote that I gave, the delivery was very average, but the bed of the keynote has almost stayed exactly the same. That's what I deliver today. And the feedback that I got from the audience was amazing, off that first keynote.Brendan:Right.Mark:I had the bosses say, "This is what you've got to do in life." And they just enjoyed, I think, the fact that I was so raw and real on stage because I had no other choice but to be that way. And it wasn't really too polished.Brendan: Right.Mark:And I've always taken that as I've gone on in keynote speaking, never to become that over-polished speaker that's talking to a track, because I think for the audience, you have to remember that they're seeing you for the first time, they want it to be real. Even though I'm telling the same thing that I've told a thousand times, it needs to feel real in that moment and the connection has to be real with the audience for them to even remotely take in what you're going to say.Brendan:Yeah. It's a interesting point that you touch on there, authenticity. So I guess that's part of your brand, being really authentic and not being too polished. I mean, when we go on social media feeds, like on Instagram, everyone is looking very polished. How can businesses become more authentic and tell their real story and start to, like yourself, really resonate with their audience?Mark:Ah, man, I think it takes courage to do that and it's tricky for businesses. When you have all these insurance factors and regulators and all this stuff hanging over the top of you and then investors, and depending on what size business you're running, to really let people know authentically what's happening within the business, where you're planning to go and all that, it takes courage, but I find that if you looked into some case studies on it, it is worth while to do.And especially small businesses and small business owners needing the motivation to do what they're going to have to do to be successful in small business, which is such a small amount of people pull that off, the authenticity level has to be there where you have to really love what you're doing and believe in it and there has to be deep meaning in what you're doing for you to go that extra level to the extent that you need to to be successful.So this authenticity on both aspects is how you run your business internally, but then how you speak to your customers, I think, both of them take some courage, but worth while.Brendan:And in terms of speaking to customers, you touched on presentation skills. Obviously very important in every day business. People are presenting on the phone, presenting in their content marketing, for example. What sort of tips can you give early stage businesseslistening on at home? Obviously, you had to learn from the ground up with your presentation skills for your keynotes. You did a lot of courses. People just starting now or wanting to improve their presentation skills, where do they start?Mark:I think the best tip that I got as far as tone, when you talk to someone, is that talk to your audience like you're talking to one person, like you're talking to a friend and carry that tone. And you've got to practice it and then watch yourself on video and see if you're carrying that tone because it's really hard to do initially, because when the camera's in front of you or the audience is in front of you, naturally, the anxiety shifts you into a different tone with the way you're speaking to people. But I think if you go back and watch what you look like and then try and match it to how you would just speak to a close friend, because you speak to your closest friends with the most authenticity, you know?Brendan: True. Yeah.Mark:And then if you can keep that tone, I think that helps a lot. And then by far, the most important thing is to be prepared. Unbelievably prepared. Nothing beats the fear of public speaking like preparation. You've going to have, for me, it's the same as surfing. So when I go and surf big waves, I'm ready for every worse case scenario that could possibly happen. I have a really detailed plan put in place.For example, if I blacked out under water and I had to be resuscitated, they had to restart my heart and then I had to call for a helicopter, we have the whole plan in place. So it takes some of that fear and that apprehension that you get in your mind in the lead up to scary moments away because I'm prepared for it. So the same way, if I'm going to do a keynote this afternoon, for WordPress, actually, here in Sydney, everything that could go wrong, I know exactly what to do.The whole power can shut off and I have to do my presentation without any photos or footage or anything like that, but I'm ready to do that.Brendan: Amazing.Mark:Or if my mind goes blank, which it does in front of an audience, if something happens, I've got a line and a story where I can go straight into at any point in my presentations.Brendan:It's a good idea. Yeah.Mark:Yeah. And then give myself the time to get back on track, so overly prepared is the key todealing with that kind of fear.Brendan:And speaking of scary moments, what was the scariest moments in your big wave surfing career?Mark:I've had a recent one where I dislocated my knee surfing down the South Coast of Sydney, five hours South of here. I hit the reef on about a 10 foot wave and completely dislocated my knee, tore every ligament and tendon.Brendan: Wow.Mark:Tore the major artery that runs through my leg. Major nerves. The pain that I experienced when I did that, I knew that something really bad had happened. And then to wake up the following morning in hospital after emergency surgery, and I was basically told that I was going to have a disability where I can't move my foot, I can't lift my foot anymore for the rest of my life.Brendan: Wow.Mark:So it was the doctors telling me, "Your surfing career is over."Brendan: Right.Mark:So that, by far, was the scariest, hearing that news was the scariest thing that I've been through within surfing. But managed to prove them wrong and I'm getting my surfing career back on track. It's taken me about two and a half years, but it's getting there.Brendan:Wow. So can you talk us through that mindset from being told you'll never surf again to rebuilding your career?Mark:I have to admit, the first six weeks to two months when I was stuck in hospital in the big metal frame brace, with my big wounds from the surgery on my leg and I couldn't get out of bed at all in the worst pain I've felt, nerve pain, by far, I've had almost every other injury youcan do, broken bones and stuff, but nothing compares to nerve pain. And yeah, in that two months I got really depressed. Not on the level of depression like suicidal depression, that's something completely different, but depressed in that I didn't want to see anyone. I'd given up hope of surfing again.Brendan: Wow.Mark:I wasn't sleeping because of the pain or they'd give me ridiculous amounts of medication to try and combat the pain, so it was that. All these things just lead to me being so unbelievably unhealthy, physically and mentally. It's interesting because it wasn't until, I'd like to say I just snapped myself out of it, but I didn't.It wasn't until I actually met a young guy in hospital who reached out to me on social media. And he said, "I've been following your career since I was young. Big fan. I'd love to come up and meet you and get a photo." Because he read that I was in Canberra Hospital and he was actually in there. And I didn't want to see anyone, so I didn't even reply. It was my wife who saw the message and wrote back to him and said, "Yeah, no worries, come up and get a photo."Mark:So this kid comes up probably three hours after I'd seen the message. He gets wheeled into my bedroom by his brother, he's a complete quadriplegic and had broken his neck about six months before I hurt myself and the moment that I shook Jason, his name was, hand, and I don't know if you've shook someone's hand who's a quadriplegic, it's confronting. They can't control their arm, anything. And he stuck out his arm with a big grin on his face. And the moment that I shook his hand, it was the craziest shift that I've ever had experienced in my life where my perspective or mindset about what I was dealing with did a complete 180.Mark:So I went from being really angry, full of self-pity for what had happened to me, blaming other people, the victim of this wipeout and this injury and just done with it to just feeling like the luckiest person on Earth because if I'd had hit that reef any other part of my body, I could have so easily been dealing with what he was dealing with. And his injury's a million times worse than mine and he's dealing with it that much better. So I was overcome with gratitude, feeling lucky. And from that moment onwards, it was like that feeling of feeling lucky about my situation was the catalyst to get me back on track. Everything fed on from there.Brendan: Wow.Mark:And now, two years later, after all the rehab, I've figured out how to surf good enough withthe disability that I can get back out into big waves. But I think meeting him and that shift in mindset was the saving grace for me in dealing with that.Brendan:That's an amazing story. So tell us about the first time after this accident that you got back on the surf board.Mark:I surfed a couple of times, probably a year down the track, but I would barely call it surfing, compared to what I've been doing. It was on a longboard, I could only just stand up. I could barely turn the board and at that moment, I was like, "It's nice to be surfing again, but this is ... It's nice to be out in the ocean and the water, but it's not really surfing for me."It took about another eight months after that to where I rode a wave and got my first barrel, say inside the barrel and caught a wave. Not a big wave, just sort of eight foot wave on the Gold Coast and that moment was just a game changer for me. All the hard work paid off because I could surf good enough just to do that, to get barrelled. It wasn't big waves and get my career on track, but that was enough.I was like, "If this is it, then that's fine." But then, my surfing ability just kept getting better and better after that, just up until about six weeks ago, I got to compete in the Red Bull Cap Fear event, a big wave surfing event down in Tasmania at that first wave that went to and I got my first big barrel there and that was the icing on the cake. That's two and a half years of rehab. Yeah, it was a good journey.Brendan:Yeah, amazing journey. And can you speak more on your mom being a major point of motivation in your life?Mark:Yeah. She's just on two different levels, but she's always been the type of person who has that internal reflection and thinks about who she is, what she's like and how she can be better, and she's always had that. She eventually does a lot of meditation and has lived in ashrams around the world and became a yoga teacher, so I think that rubbed off on me.How valuable it is to know yourself. Figure out who you are and try and work on your flaws and be better. So I think that rubbed off on me a lot. And then the other part is that I've just always wanted to, down the track, when she retires, support her, be able to buy her a house one day. It's the image that I always use in my head.Before I'm about to do something scary or when I got to get up early and go to training or when I've got to say no to eating that shit food and eat this boring food. All those things, I've just got this clear picture in my head of the day I get to buy her a house and I can see the excitement and that big smile on her face in those moments. So it's those two parts that she's only inspiring to me.Brendan:Yeah, amazing. So focusing on your business, now. Your brand that you've built for yourself and you mentioned that you went around the world chasing content. So talk us through, Iguess, your content strategy. You got the footage of you surfing the big waves. What did you do next?Mark:Yeah. It was interesting because from the start of my career, it went through the whole digital media revolution.Brendan: Oh, really?Mark:The first surf trip we did was on film, with cameras and photos. And then it was just going out into mainstream newspapers and stuff. And then we just tracked through the whole evolution of digital media in that time. So it's like having one of the first blogs in surfing that people could follow.Brendan: Wow.Mark:Because in my head, I had to make up for a lack of talent as a surfer by having the business smarts and how I could get the exposure and then that would make me as valuable as the other more talented surfers out there. That was what I always had, I was always looking for different things of how I could do that.And the digital media revolution was the game changer because then it wasn't up to the print media and surf magazines who had a stranglehold on the industry on who was successful. When you build your own audience and then you could show them and you've got your own audience, you become like a small marketing agency yourself.Brendan: Yeah.Mark:So by having that business smart, I controlled my destiny a little bit more. And yeah, I think it made that career, I could extend it longer also as well. So yeah, there are so many nuance things within that, how you do it, but it's the same core principle. Just show people what I love about what I do. Show them that and there's that many people out there on social media in the digital world.There will be people that enjoy watching you do what you do. That's what's my model. Just stick to what you like. It's too tiring trying to be someone that you're not. I could have gone down that path and you try and do the things that people like or that the big celebrities are doing, but to me, that seemed exhausting. It's just like, just show what you love about surfing and then see if people like it.Brendan:Yeah. It comes back to your point about talking to your best friends when you're doing your keynote.Mark: Yeah.Brendan:Focusing on that one person.Mark:Exactly. Yeah and then it keeps you authentic in a way.Brendan:And what channels are you using at the moment? Have you gone head first into video content as well? I imagine a lot of GoPro footage and ...Mark: Yeah.Brendan:Is live streaming possible in big wave surfing?Mark:It is. GoPro is a major sponsor of mine. I've always worked with them and that was just about me wanting to use the best cameras for what we did in action sports. I was always so interested in how can I make my audience get as close to this experience as possible as what I get inside the barrelling part of the wave. If you can help them try and experience that. The tiny point of view camera is where you can give that field and then the GoPro Fusion that shoots the 360 and virtual reality type content, they're awesome tools to be able to do that.And then on the live streaming front, when the technology became where it became possible to be able to set up these high production live feeds at the drop of a hat, because the difference in surfing as a sport, in big wave surfing as a sport, compared to say, live streaming a football game is what we do is all weather dependent. So I teamed up with Red Bull in that regard to create Red Bull Cape Fear, a big wave surf event.Brendan: Right.Mark:And it's the only company that, again, has set aside that kind of financial amount on the possibility that we may get big enough waves that year to run an event. I couldn't find, there was no other company out there that would just go, "Yeah, here's this much money" eventhough the event might not happen. You might only have a 50/50 chance of it happening. Yeah, so now we're able to do that in remote locations, so we could do that down in Tasmania, which is in the middle of nowhere where this wave breaks.Brendan: Wow.Mark:And we streamed it live to, I think, the numbers ended up being about 1.5 million people across a live feed and the first replay because it happens just when it happens, so people aren't prepared for it.Brendan: Right.Mark:We give them a 24 hour window.Brendan: Okay.Mark:Because that's when we got to take that the event's going to happen and then we send the production crews in, so yeah, that's been an interesting experience. I think that's been the latest frontier in regard to that digital media revolution and the way to bring surfing and big wave surfing to people.Brendan:Yeah, that's an amazing strategy. And what's next? What problems are you working on now in your business?Mark:For me, because I've been injured for the last couple of years, my main focus is keynote speaking in the corporate training world and establishing myself within there and really researching what companies and their employees and everyone needs to manage that hectic paced life of that corporate world. Because there's that sort of disconnect where companies want so much out of their employees.They want them to work ridiculous hours and the employees are getting burned out because of that but the world's so competitive that if you don't put up with that burnout, you'll lose your job because someone else will put their hand up and try and take it on. And so it's how can I equip those employees to still do the workload or the hours but not be as drained or affected by it? So it's how can you take on that and not have it rule their life where it destroys their relationships and their personal life? And I think that's, at the moment, within the corporate world, the Holy Grail of figuringthat complex web of its meaning for the employees to want to take on all the stress, they have to find that meaning and the company has to align with them to be able to do that. And then the physical aspect of being able to cope with the crazy work hours, so there's that physical element, whether it's diet, exercise, sleep, those parts.Mark:And then the relationship aspect of their work relationships and their personal relationships because that emotional side and that relationship side is the other big part of taxing you as a human. So it's a complex web, but I love it. For me, human performance on any level is amazing.I originally loved the freak performers who were the world champions at a given sport and how they did what they did, but the more you dive into that, it's like, usually once they're best of the best at something, they're freakishly genetically talented, which isn't that interesting to me.And then if they're not really good at one thing and really good at something completely different, then it's like the tools they're using to be good at one thing might not be transferrable to anyone else.Brendan: Right.Mark:Yeah. But when you see people that can go and be the highest level in one aspect of life and another aspect of life and another aspect of life, it's like whatever's working there is then transferrable. And that's what I've tried to find with surfing.I can conquer fear in the world of surfing, but do those same techniques and rules apply to public speaking or to developing business or to just all these other aspects of life? So I've just been testing them and I'm slowly coming up and still tweaking different programs and workshops for corporate.I deliver a keynote which is more on the inspirational side and then a more detailed workshop, where if I can get anywhere from three to six hours with an audience, then you can deep dive into it and make more lasting changes with people than a keynote can.Brendan:Yeah. And how do you find these companies to do the workshops, are they through their keynotes?Mark:Yes. There's lots of work out there for keynote speakers, if you're a half decent keynote speaker, the companies are coming knocking at your door.Brendan: Wow.Mark:And that's been the case, but because it's such a short amount of time, the companies don't mind giving you that little bit of time with the audience, because it's not as big an investment for them. Because the money that they pay you is not the expense, it's the investment of having a hundred employees sit there listening to you and they're not doing whatever other work they're supposed to be doing.So to then ask for three hours or six hours or a multi-tiered program over a year, where you make a radical culture change in a company, that's a big investment, money-wise and time-wise for them. So yeah, you've got to give to get, so it's like, "Here, we'll do it for you like this for a lesser amount and you'll see the results." And then now I've got the testimonials from certain companies, then the other companies can come aboard because they can believe what you're doing.Brendan:Yeah. And can you tell us any stories of the changes in culture and the results that you've seen in some of these companies?Mark:Yeah. To me, the interesting ones or the radical ones are usually the stress reduction ones, that's huge, and where you dive into stress programs. But then, if that's the main set of programs that you're doing, but then the offshoot of managing stress and creating resilience is say, a workshop around how to have tough conversations in an organization.Because that, to me, is probably one of the main relationship emotional factors that drain people in companies because there's animosity being carried around by employees because they're not speaking up and they can't have a tough conversation with their boss or with their peers without rubbing people the wrong way. And then they just live in this world of constant stress and social pressure.Brendan:Yeah, the conflict avoidance.Mark:Yeah. So we built, a company called Pragmatic Thinking, that I work closely with, they've got the best tough conversation program or workshop that I've seen. I can do a keynote, have all this stress reduction stuff and bring them and we'll do a tough conversations piece there.Brendan: Great.Mark:And then you see radical shifts because just that small number of skills, if you can criticize someone without tearing their whole ego apart, there's an amazing ride along effect from that because you can then give criticism without destroying someone. And then that just plays out. And once a whole number of people in your team can do that, the culture change in a year's time and the progression as far as the way the team works shifts hugely.Brendan:Yeah. That's amazing. So speaking of tools now, I like to ask all the guests that come on what marketing tools they use for their business. So what's been the best investment that you've made tool-wise?Mark: Marketing-wise?Brendan:Yeah, marketing-wise.Mark:Outsourcing with Upwork, for me, having a really small business, is amazing. The talent of people out there around the world that you can access at the drop of a hat is phenomenal. So probably that, as an outsourcing tool. I probably shouldn't say this, but I had a LinkedIn helper tool that was phenomenal.Brendan: Oh, yeah.Mark:But I think it might have just got shut down recently, so I have to go back to the old way of running LinkedIn. But yeah, any of those tools that can automate things that you do but automate them in a way that it doesn't seem like things are being automated, then it's super valuable.Brendan:Yeah. And are you a big reader, Mark?Mark:More listen. I like podcasts. I do like to read, but I just recently did an IQ test and my language comprehension skills are so low. It's ridiculous. So reading for me is time consuming whereas I love to listen to different podcasts and especially when you can get two experts debating on something, I find that the most valuable way to learn.Brendan:So more of the longform podcasts?Mark:Definitely longform podcasts or lecture series. A lot of universities and professors out there put their lecture courses online, like on YouTube, so you can access almost anything these days.Brendan: Yeah.Mark:And there's amazing learning platforms, like MasterClass and a whole bunch of other ones. To read is amazing if you're a good reader because it's really good for your imagination as well, but to just be able to have the highest end quality YouTube learning video or MasterClass platform or whatever like that that can just teach you through five different mediums at once, for me, that's way more beneficial. Yeah.Brendan:Yeah, I was on MasterClass yesterday, actually, some amazing courses.Mark:Amazing stuff, yeah. I think I did one of the value ones. I did Steve Martin's comedy one.Brendan: Oh, wow.Mark:Just for public speaking. And when you see the way they break apart jokes in telling jokes, you can then learn to refine the way you would deliver a keynote because the emphasis on how much ... I heard Jerry Seinfeld say this too. He can spend a week on one line.Brendan: Yeah.Mark:Writing and re-writing one line and pausing in different places and it can make or break a joke. So as a keynote speaker, if you can dive into that level of detail on what you deliver, it's interesting. But you just got to be bothered to give it the time.Brendan:Yeah. And I know Seinfeld has another statistic, I think it's one week for every one minute of content.Mark:Oh, that's perfect. Perfect.Brendan:How long does it take you to do one minute of one of your keynote presentations, preparation-wise?Mark:It would depend, it would be in that realm, but I find, for me, the preparation and learning is every time I deliver a keynote, then watching it and then re-structuring some part of it. Yeah, it would be in that realm, I reckon. Probably less. I think comedians, it's so much harder than, I think, any other form of entertainment.Brendan:Well, you have to get a laugh every 15 secs, I think it is.Mark:Yeah. I think that's the hardest version of entertainment there is. They're re-working a minute, compared to what I do with keynote because I can tell a story and there's five or 10 minutes of content and I don't have to spend that much time to get that story, I bet it does make a difference when you get some detail in there and do some work on the delivery.Brendan:And what about online education, is that an area that you've looked at for your workshops, for example?Mark:Yeah. I've built, just recently, for a client, a big software company, a video learning series.Brendan: Right.Mark:The feedback from that's been awesome. Yeah, it was a big investment, so it was just because the client specifically wanted it that I ended up going down that track. I was thinking more in a future plan of what I'm doing, I would do that, but I just ended up doing it because the client wanted it. And they really liked it. And it's matching a simple lesson that works across the board, whether it's in the corporate world or what I do as a surfer to a surf story.Brendan: Right.Mark:So it's just an entertaining way for them to see the same lesson that they're going to see on any other learning platform or internally, they see it all the time, but when you can match a surf story to it and what's going on in the business ecosystem of professional surfing, it just anchors the message a little more. It's a good way to bring a different world to it and then for me, I know it's working with a client is when the staff start using surf examples for what they're doing. It's like, "Ah, this is just like when Mark decided to chase a virtual realityopportunity over going to chase a new market production in China for a new sponsor." It's like these scenarios, so if they're talking in that way, I'm like, "Yes, that's working."Brendan:So Mark, wanted to thank you so much for coming on. Wide ranging conversation. So many inspiring stories and tactics as well.Mark: Thanks.Brendan:But before we go, we like to ask our guests two abstract questions. So are you ready for abstract part of the show?Mark:Yeah, my dumb brain is trying to figure out what abstract means. That's my language problem in the IQ world. But yeah, fire away.Brendan:So the first question, if you could have a billboard, it can be anywhere in the world, what would it say and where would you put it?Mark:What would it say? Oh, man, I had this quote I read on the plane this morning. It's something like, is high performance is more like a cobweb than it is an organizational chart? It's something like that.Brendan: Yeah.Mark:Yeah. And it's just like that complex adaptive systems theory where everything affects everything. And it's the same way companies run, it's the same way your physiology in your body runs, but it's more so intertwined that if you leave out one aspect of performance, then all the others suffer. But if you take an entire system's approach to fixing performance, regardless of what it is, then you get crazy results.Brendan:Yeah, it's awesome.Mark:So it's cobweb versus, I think it was organizational chart or something like that. It'd be a long-winded billboard, that one.Brendan:Yeah. And the final question, you are on the first flight to Mars, with Elon Musk and the first settlers aboard the SpaceX starship Rocket. So what business do you start when you land on Mars and how do you promote it to the new Martians?Mark:It would have to be indoor wave pools, I think.Brendan:The first time I ask-Mark:And surfing sells itself. All you got to do is offer a few free surf lessons and when people experience that feeling, what else is there going to be to do on Mars than ride a few waves? So it will sell itself.Brendan:Definitely. So Mark, once again, really appreciate your time today and the value you've dropped to the audience. Is there anything you'd like to say before we wrap up and how can people get in touch?Mark:Thanks for having me first and thanks to the listeners for listening. If anyone wants to get in contact with me, my website is www.markmathews.com. And Mathews with one T.Brendan: OneT.Mark:Yeah, or on LinkedIn or social media, it's @markmathewssurf, so feel free to reach out and I'd love to work with your company and figure out this whole complex cobweb of performance, stress, energy, all of that stuff.Brendan:Yeah, amazing. We'll put all the links and resources Mark has mentioned in the show notes. And Mark, thanks for such a fantastic conversation. And I'll also put up some of your big wave surfing photos in the show notes because they're absolutely mind-blowing and hard to describe on air.Mark:Yeah. I think when people look at that, they'll be like, "No, we're not listening to this crazy person."Brendan:No, it's an awesome mission that you're out on changing many people's lives. So yeah, I want to thank you for that and thank you for coming in today.Mark:Awesome. Thanks for having me.

The unknown can be a scary place. It's natural to want to be in control and know the next step in just about every situation. Being confused with so many things in life, whether it be with your career, in your sexuality, with mental health...The unknown can cause so much stress, weighing you down, if you don't eventually learn to be okay with it. Kevin Molloy, 3x college dropout, a former client at a residential treatment program, and a recovering alcoholic/addict. You could say that Kevin has had his fair share of confusing battles in his life. Instead of wishing for anything different, Kevin is happy for those experiences because they taught him to see the world in a different light and take advantage of what's been given to him. In fact, he's learned so much that he now leads others through similar battles he once faced. Learning to come to terms with the unknown has brought Kevin to the life he never really believed he'd reach.On this episode of Success is Subjective, Kevin joins Joanna to share his journey with what felt like a life of never ending self destruction, to a life of true healing. He shares the crash and burn cycle he experienced throughout school, substance abuse and mental health, that never seemed to end until he was placed on a 200 acre farm in Arizona. Listen in for insight on how Kevin comes to find out that the one thing he was avoiding for years and years, turned out to be the one thing he needed the most, and where he would find his gift to the world.What You Will LearnKevin's childhood experience with constantly moving from state to stateHow successful Kevin's parents were and the impact that had on himHow important school was to the familyThe high expectations that were placed on Kevin from a young ageWhen Kevin stopped getting straight A's in schoolThe escalation that occured in Kevin's later years of high schoolThe devastation that came with applying for collegesWhat the transition into college was likeWhat brought Kevin back to ArizonaThe unhealthy cycle Kevin had in collegeWhen Kevin finally reached out to familyThe mental health spiral Kevin would experience over and over againThe last time Kevin withdrew from collegeWhen Kevin started to finally prioritize his well beingThe decision that changed everything for Kevin What life was like at Spring Lake RanchHow Kevin's view of college shifted after recoveryWhat Kevin has learned from his heartachesWhat brough Kevin back to Spring LakeThe people Kevin now impactsHow the one thing that hurt Kevin the most is now one of the most important aspects of his lifeFinding comfort in not knowing everything The importance of having a good community around youConnect with Kevin MolloyCall Admissions line 24hrs a day at Spring Lake Ranch Admissions Line at 802-772-8350 Spring Lake RanchKevin Molloy on LinkedInEmail kevinm@springlakeranch.orgConnect with Joanna Lilley  Lilley ConsultingLilley Consulting on Instagram Lilley Consulting on Facebook Sponsored by: www.ParentTrainers.comEmail joanna@lilleyconsulting.com

Have you ever used prompts or constraints to inspire your creativity? Herbert Lui is a well-known freelancer. He’s written for top publications like Lifehacker and Fast Company, and I also know him as the guy who introduced me to the Zettelkasten method, which changed how I research and write books. Herbert also runs his own business, helping companies set up blogs and build a name online. In this episode, I ask Herbert what it’s like to write for companies like Lifehacker and Fast Company and how new writers can get gigs writing for publications like these. He also explains why quantity should be your number one priority as a creative and how to balance quantity with quality.I also ask Herbert to tell me more about his new book, There Is No Right Way to Do This.In this episode, we discuss:What Herbert's latest book is aboutTips for starting writing againThe types of constraints that authors useUsing the three-act structure when writing a bookHow a new writer can start writing for big publicationsResourcesOblique StrategiesFigmaZettelkasten MethodNotionDay OneRoam ResearchHerbert Lui Herbert Lui on MediumWonder ShuttleSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/becomeawritertoday)

You see, what you become is far more important than what you get. The important question to ask on the job is not, “What am I getting?” Instead, you should ask, “What am I becoming?” Getting and becoming are like Siamese twins: What you become directly influences what you get. Think of it this way: Most of what you have today you have attracted by becoming the person you are today.I’ve also found that income rarely exceeds personal development. Sometimes income takes a lucky jump, but unless you learn to handle the responsibilities that come with it, it will usually shrink back to the amount you can handle. If someone hands you a million dollars, you’d better hurry up and become a millionaire. A very rich man once said, “If you took all the money in the world and divided it equally among everybody, it would soon be back in the same pockets it was before.”It is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal development.So here’s the great axiom of life:“To have more than you’ve got, become more than you are.”This is where you should focus most of your attention. Otherwise, you just might have to contend with the axiom of not changing, which is:“Unless you change how you are, you’ll always have what you’ve got.”.Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, and Darren Hardy all taught me to take 10% of my income a year and reinvest in METoday we will share not only why to do personal development with a coach, retreat, or course but also what it has done for us personally.Blair has spent $300K in last 6 years on retreats and private coaching and courses. Blair believes it is why she brings in 6 figures a year in her network marketing business and is the top 1% and has earned over 4 Million in Commission in last 10 years in industry.This strategy is again brought to us by Darren Hardy. It’s based on focus rather than the general nature of strategy #2. The core of this approach is to identify your most important goal, and the most important skill in achieving that goal. His famous (well, to me anyway) “1-1-5-3-1-30-30-5 plan”, says…Pick your #1 goal, thenIdentify the most important (#1) skill to achieving that goal. Now,Buy 5 books, 3 audio training courses, and attend 1 seminar/webinar, all around that skill.Spend 30 minutes reading, and 30 minutes listening, eachThe “5” represents the 5 steps of:Study– read/listen/participate in those resourcesExtract – pick (only) the 3 most important lessons from each of those resourcesAct– apply your new learningMeasure– determine what worked and what didn’tImprove– make adjustment(s) and try againTHE critical insight group wrote this and we could not agree more: “The biggest challenge for most is making the investment prior to seeing the benefit which is understandable because we never know what we miss out on when we don’t grow. If we could see what we’re missing out on, I think we all would make the investment in ourselves…and in what’s possible.John Maxwell has said one of the most important days in his life was back in 1974 when his thinking regarding personal growth changed from ‘How much does it cost, and how long will it take?’ to ‘How far can I go?’ He said it absolutely transformed his growth…and his life. And he has ‘gone’ pretty far!”Top 5 reason to join us at the retreatRefill your cup before it is empty then you have more to pour out to othersInteraction and growth from being around others who are doing things differently from other companies do not always just use your company and that is all.Goals & objectives become clearer when you have time to focustax write offyou will transform and continue to put yourself as a priority once you have done it once.If you are looking to take your business to the next level, right now.This year.This month.We have the perfect place to start.

You have the power, you have the power to end your suffering.Lauren said:“When you make choices, really think of your future self. If you have a spiritual practice, what would your highest self-guide or spirit want you to do at this moment? Like, make a choice from that perspective that can really help you be in alignment.”“I hope that hearing my experiences of moving through them, usually with grace, but sometimes not so gracefully.

Did COVID-19 put a halt to your short-term rental (STR) business? If so, you may need to restructure your Airbnb portfolio and pivot to a new business model. A business model that will stand the test of time.Ryan Anderson is the Founder and CEO at Sojourn, an upscale STR venture that had grown to 200 active units in the US, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Colombia—until the Coronavirus pandemic devastated his business. A serial entrepreneur with a background in finance, Ryan has founded companies in the technology, craft beer and hospitality space, and today, he is downsizing his portfolio and developing a new approach to the STR business.On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Ryan joins me explain why he is shifting away from the master lease Airbnb model and pivoting to an owner-operator paradigm. He shares the most important lessons he has learned through the Coronavirus crisis, describing how he plans to grow slower and wiser in the future.

In this episode, I'm joined by Eric Bay, a singer/songwriter from Surrey, England. We talk about his music career and collaborate on a brand new song. We recorded this back in March, so you'll hear us talk a little bit about the spread of the COVID-19 kind of at the earlier stages when more people were panic buying. After Eric and I finished writing the song over a video chat, we recorded our parts separately in our own home studios. Eric provided vocals and keyboard tracks along with some synth parts and I recorded backing vocals, guitars, synth, bass, drums and percussion.

BiographyProcess engineer with a day job consulting in the oil and gas industry, but secretly a time-dragon catcher at night. I am using my project management and time mastery skills learnt in the engineering world to help online business people find the time they need to get their most important work done. I'm on a mission to help those who want to become time jedis to catch, tame and train time-dragons, and by doing so, empower them with the magic to command time, space and money. Main talking points include:Most of Brett’s career in chemical engineering has meant that he’s spent all of his professional life in major organisations doing the 9-5. He’s balanced this with a side hustle and further education. Managing time and massive scale projects became second nature to him. Working in large institutions is normally great for job security, but when economic downturns happen, it can lead you to be unemployed. Diversifying your portfolio of income streams becomes a very attractive option very quickly. Time management vs time masteryGeorge Leonard’s Book on Mastery – you never actually get to the destination. The art of time mastery is not about fixing it all quickly, but about not taking on too much at the same time. Work on one area, and once you’ve refined it, then move on to the next. The process of making things efficient is mastering the routines that you use to complete a task. The difference between projects and routines:Projects: occur once, and have a defined end, but they are all differentRoutines: are repeatable processes that happen again and againThe difficulty most people face is that they have far more projects than routines. What is a time dragon? They eat up time in your dayThey create distractionsThey add tasks to your todo list They create overwhelmThe create interruptions Time dragons are a way of externalising time management, so that you can "blame” it. How do you catch a time dragon? You set a trap for it! Catching the overload (overwhelm) time dragonUsing a gate (or series of gates)Use a number of lists, with criteria for for each gate to move items through the lists. List number 1: the infinity listGate: am I ever going to have time to do this? List number 2: the maybe list (up to 150 items)GateList number 3: the next up projects list (no more than 12 items)Gate – this is where you catch your time dragon!The Work Zone:Detailed Planning Area (1 or 2 projects)Action / Execution Area (no more than 5 projects)Holding Zone (no more than 2 or 3 projects)The only way to get work off your list is to: Complete itMove it back up the listRemove it from the list all together (least efficient)Trello Tutorial Available here: catchyourtimedragon.com/peteeverittPersonal Website: brettdawson.com Join our Facebook Group!

Intro…Welcome to the Cornerstone Baptist church podcast. My name is Justin Wheeler, I am the preaching pastor for Cornerstone Baptist Church in Wylie, TX.It is still March of 2020 and we are in week 2 of shelter-in-place orders as a result of COVID-19. Things around us continue to be up in the air and I don’t know about the rest of you, but I can use a little gospel encouragement right about now. So, this week I want to talk to you about the hope that we have as Christians, or as Peter refers to it in the first chapter of his letter, Our Living Hope.I Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice,Many of you have heard of or even read the opening section of John Piper’s book Let the Nations Be Glad. There’s one powerful paragraph that goes like this,“Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever.”[1]The worship of God is the ultimate goal of the church and it is also the goal of our life. When Peter writes in verse 3, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!” he is calling us to worship. The word bless means to worship or praise. It means to express gratitude toward God and to express joy in what He has done.Then Peter goes on to tell us what God has done. In other words, he tells us why we should worship God.Transition…We should worship God because of who He is and because He is the One who has given us hope in Christ. We worship Him for His mercy, for causing us to be born again, for giving us a living hope and we worship God because of the inheritance that He has promised us.Let’s look at each of these things in turn.Podcast Focus…1. We worship God because He has given us hope in Christ."A man can live three weeks without food, three days without water, and three minutes without air, but he cannot live three seconds without hope”Hope by itself is a powerful thing, but our hope in Christ is the most amazing hope there is. Our hope is made up of flesh and bones that came back from the dead. Our hope is in Christ himself who lived and died and rose to live again. But we need to remember that we didn’t always have this hope.Ephesians 2 reminds us that at one time we were without hope in this world. Before God brought us to Christ, we were dead in our sins and we had no hope of saving ourselves from the wrath to come. But now in Christ Jesus we have a living hope.He is our Lord, Peter says, which indicates that we aren’t simply dabbling in religion, but we are submitting to Jesus Christ as Lord. We worship God because He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.2. We Worship God for His MercyV. 3 - According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born againThe definition of mercy is a kindness shown to someone when it is within one’s power to punish them. For God to show us mercy means that He withholds from us the wrath we rightly deserve. He owes us nothing but judgment, and yet He holds back that judgment from us.God’s mercy is the divine restraint that keeps Him from unleashing the righteous wrath our rebellion demands.Notice in the text that God’s mercy toward us is great. We are the recipients of His abundant mercy. Our God is merciful and this means that His desire and ability to withhold what we deserve is like a storehouse so full that it is constantly overflowing the top (Lam 3:23). God is full of mercy toward us, the mercy He has for His people will never run out and we praise Him for this.But there is another side of the coin when it comes to mercy.Divine justice demands that our sin be punished, which means that for God to withhold punishment is to short-circuit His justice, unless the punishment we deserve is poured out on another. That is where Jesus steps in. Friends, this is what makes the gospel so beautiful.You see Jesus stepped in to receive the justice of God that we deserved. He bore the wrath for you and me, so that we could be free. So, we worship God for His great mercy.3. We Worship God for Our New Birth (3)On account of God’s great mercy, He has caused us to be born again. The first time we heard about the new birth it came from Jesus in John 3. He told Nicodemus that in order to see the Kingdom of God one must be born again. In our first birth we were stamped with the image of Adam, but the new birth emblazons us with the image of Christ. This new birth is given to us as a gift from God. He is the cause of our new birth.But why do we need to be born again? The Bible teaches that by nature we are dead in our sins and children of wrath. This is what our first birth in Adam has afforded us. We need to be brought from death to life and Paul tells us how this happens in Titus 3.Titus 3:4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy SpiritWe weren’t born again because of our good works; it was God’s mercy that fueled our new birth. The new birth is not the result of your prayer, or your baptism, or your trip down the aisle to talk to the pastor. The new birth is the work of the Holy Spirit in you.The Spirit brings life where there was death. He opens our eyes to see the truth of the gospel that we hadn’t seen before. He gives us a new heart of flesh replacing the heart of stone, and the result is that those who possess new life will respond with faith and repentance.Faith and repentance are not the cause of our new birth; they are the evidence of it meaning that we praise God for our new birth.4. We Worship God for Our living HopeWhat does Peter mean when he tells us that we have a living hope? What He means is that the source of our hope is not an idea it is a person. This would have been especially important to Peter, because of his own life experience.Perhaps you remember that before Jesus’ crucifixion, Peter had boldly claimed that he would stay by Jesus’ side even though all the other disciples ran away. But the reality was that Peter ran away as well. He denied Jesus. He failed His best friend. He failed to keep his promise and then Jesus died before Peter had a chance to make it right. The crucifixion robbed Peter of hope.But the resurrection of Jesus was a life-changer for Peter. When the girls came in from the tomb on Sunday morning and told Peter that it was empty, can you imagine what this did to his heart? His hopes had been dashed to pieces, but this news was enough to cause hope to flicker in his heart again.Peter heard this news and then flew out of the door to go and see for himself and when He saw Jesus His hope was restored. But it was a new kind of hope. It wasn’t a false hope, a misplaced hope, a blind hope, a fond hope; it was a living hope.Peter’s hope was not based on an idea it was based on a person, a person that was and is alive and for whom death has no hold. So, when Peter writes to us about our living hope he writes from personal experience. His hope is alive because his hope is in Christ and Christ is alive.Sure, there’s so much going on in our world right now that it is easy for us to forget what God has done for us through Jesus. It’s easy for us to let our hope fade a little bit, or even a lot. But passages like this put our real-world difficulties into eternal perspective.Yes, our lives have been sort of turned upside-down due to Coronavirus, but God truly turned our lives upside-down when He began to work in our hearts through the gospel. Yes, there is much for us to think about and plan for with all that is going on, but we can’t forget about God’s mercy.We can’t lose sight of the fact that we were born into this fallen world, but we have been born again in order to prepare us for the world to come. This world and all of its trials are not the ultimate expectation for us, we have a living hope in a living Savior, who died but rose again.And we have an inheritance that is to come that we can hardly imagine. We will look at that next week, but I hope this little bit of encouragement has been helpful to you today.Conclusion…If you want to learn more about Cornerstone Baptist church, you can find us online at Cornerstonewylie.org.

As we face the challenges of not being able to meet in person on Sunday morning, we continue in the spirit of "Church Everywhere" with Josh's message centering around Psalm 23 this week. Psalm 23 offers a number of helpful reminders for us as we try to establish a new normal in this season. We see a Shepherd who is leading us in the midst of trouble. He leads us in it and through it when we might prefer to simply avoid it or run in the other direction. We see a Host who invites us in and sets a table for our enemies. In moments like these, we can experience the overflowing love of God whose goodness and mercy chases and pursues us in this moment and all the days of our lives. Psalm 23; Psalm 139:11-12. If you have a prayer request, please email prayer@rivercitysmyrna.com. If you have a need, please let us know by emailing needs@rivercitysmyrna.com.  Josh shared a prayer from Robby Waddell that he prays before teaching his Greek class:  "Creator of language and first speaker, though you are infinite, we are finite. You have granted us the capacity to interpret and to misinterpret. You have given us the ability to create and to destroy with words. Help us to use this gift of language faithfully to know and love you and each other. With humility, we seek to understand your loving and holy words recorded in our scriptures. As we study Greek, may you fill us with gratitude, love, curiosity, and awe."  Josh also shared a poem from Brother Richard Hendrick inspired by the current moment:  LOCKDOWN - Brother Richard Hendrick Yes there is fear.Yes there is isolation.Yes there is panic buying.Yes there is sickness.Yes there is even death.But,They say that in Wuhan after so many years of noiseYou can hear the birds again.They say that after just a few weeks of quietThe sky is no longer thick with fumesBut blue and grey and clear.They say that in the streets of AssisiPeople are singing to each other across the empty squares, keeping their windows open so that those who are alone may hear the sounds of family around them.They say that a hotel in the West of IrelandIs offering free meals and delivery to the housebound.Today a young woman I know is busy spreading fliers with her number through the neighbourhoodSo that the elders may have someone to call on.Today Churches, Synagogues, Mosques and Temples are preparing to welcome and shelter the homeless, the sick, the wearyAll over the world people are slowing down and reflectingAll over the world people are looking at their neighbours in a new wayAll over the world people are waking up to a new realityTo how big we really are.To how little control we really have.To what really matters.To Love.So we pray and we remember thatYes there is fear.But there does not have to be hate.Yes there is isolation.But there does not have to be loneliness.Yes there is panic buying.But there does not have to be meanness.Yes there is sickness.But there does not have to be disease of the soulYes there is even death.But there can always be a rebirth of love.Wake to the choices you make as to how to live now.Today, breathe.Listen, behind the factory noises of your panicThe birds are singing againThe sky is clearing,Spring is coming,And we are always encompassed by Love.Open the windows of your soulAnd though you may not be able to touch across the empty square,Sing.March 13th 2020

It's that time of year againThe mince pies are out in force, the weather is pretty miserable (applicable in the UK) and YouTube has released the second most disliked video on their platform.That's right YouTube Rewind is back and this year it has been chastised for many reasons that we will be exploring within this weeks instalment of #LYE. We dissect the video and ponder what they could change about the concept next year to ensure they receive more likes than dislikes. Or at the very least not make it into the top 10 most disliked videos on the platform. That would be a start wouldn't it?It's also the last episode in this series so to those of you who enjoy listening to us ramble and even enjoy reading these (if there are any of you?!) descriptions from the bottom of our hearts we thank you and look forward to returning in the new year with some shiny new concepts but we promise we will continue to Lower Your Expectations.Thanks guys and have a brilliant festive period.xxCheck out MoreMarcus on YouTube for the best of this week’s episode, at YouTube.com/MoreMarcusSubscribe on iTunes: iTunes.com/LowerYourExpectationsSubscribe on Android: SubscribeOnAndroid.com/MarcusButler.net/rssSubscribe to Marcus on YouTube: YouTube.com/MarcusButlerFollow @MarcusButler & @MattViney12 wherever you can find us!

Burning Down The House...AgainThe only way to become the phoenix is to start a fire. I learned a long time ago that if I was to survive–just survive–I'd have to burn down the Old Kenny to let the new version appear. The old me was not up to the task of providing what only the new me could. And burning down the Old Me scared the shit out of me Yet, the process was already taking place whether I liked it or not. I only understood this in retrospect. Bipolar, and all the wrong decisions surrounding it, were the mental and physical manifestations of my old life crumbling all around me. I was so wrapped up in being that unhealthy version of me that it took massive chaos and pain to get rid of that guy...allowing my life to finally improve! That whole story is chronicled throughout this site. What I find interesting now is that I seem to be entering another cycle, similar to the last. I'm struggling to meet certain goals. I have the tools and resources to pull it all off. I have the body of work to give it all direction and references. I can see the way forward, in many areas. But I'm starting to understand that this current iteration of myself is not up to the task The cool thing is, enough of me knows how to rebuild the rest of me! So I'm going to have to start burning down again. But this time, the flames won't have to reach so high, or be so all consuming, to get the job done. I've learned some things to keep the conflagration to a minimal: short lived, and only attacking very specific areas of my life. Nothing like begrudgingly accepted personal evolution to keep a day poppin', is there? Subscribe To AB Podcast! Sponsors: Family Network Chiropractic in Kingston, NY: The only providers of NSA Chiropractic in the Mid-Hudson Valley Maximum Results Fitness w/ Mike Romano: Online Training with Individually Customized Support Key Points: Bipolar Disorder was merely a symptom of an even larger problem. Before I created my system, my goal was only to survive the illness. I barely survived both the illness and the transition to wellness. I am entering another era requiring the burning down of at least portions of myself to get where I need to go. Knowing when to give up on a plan or hang in one more minute, will be one of the hardest questions for you to answer as you move forward on anything that matters most to you, yet isn't showing much improvement. I'm "bipolar prone" not actively bipolar. I have parameters established, lines in the sand that I cannot and do not cross, that allow me to remain sane and well. But I often have to press up against those lines. I'll sacrifice pretty much whatever it takes to maintain my life the way it needs to be kept to keep bipolar out of the picture. I've reached a point where I have to carefully step over a few of those lines, in order to grow. Figuring this all out is what will allow me to be of the greatest service to you who follow along. Learn to cultivate your Inner Witness. There's no "right and wrong". There's only "is what I'm doing getting me closer to my goal or further from it?". Burning down included my very life; I've been dead multiple times on two occasions. Two comas too! One for a few hours, one for two weeks. We're all operating on a set of rules we learned as young children to feel safe in a world of adults. These rules become unconscious and harmful as we age. Learn how to let go of those parts of you that are holding back the better part of you. In order to evolve, you're going to have to open your mind a bit, probably a bit more that you'll find comfortable. You have to find what works best for you right now. Soak, evaluate, take another run at the next level.

Five of them were quiet and well behaved,but the sixth was a rude young man who was causing a lot of trouble to the other passengers.At last this young man got out at a station with his two heavy bags. None of the other passengers helped him, but one of them waited until the rude young man was very far away and then opened the window and shouted to him. " You left something behind the compartment!"Then he closed the window againThe young man turned around and hurried back  with his two bags. He was very tired when he arrived. but he shouted through the window ,"What did I leave behind?As the train began to move again, the passenger who had called him back opened the window and said, "A very bad impression!"有六个人搭乘火车旅行,坐在同一车厢里。其中五个人很安静,也很有教养。但第六个人却是一个粗鲁的年轻人,给其他乘客惹了许多麻烦。最后,这个年轻人在一个车站拖着两个沉重的皮箱下了车。没有一个乘客帮他一把。车上一个乘客等这个粗鲁的年轻人走远后,才打开车窗对他大喊道：“你有东西落在车厢里了!”然后便关上了车窗。年轻人转过身,拎着两个沉甸甸的皮箱匆匆赶过回到火车旁已经筋疲力尽,他隔着车窗大喊:“我落下什么了?”随着火车再次启动,喊他回来的那位乘客打开车窗，说：“糟糕的印象。”

Key points that you’ll learn from this interview: Why organizations are putting so much thought into a “people first” cultureHow to give feedback without micromanagingHow a software company gave their senior management the room to play at the level of their titleThe one mistake organizations make over and over againThe importance of embracing uncertainty [thrive_accordion_group title="Interview Insights"][thrive_accordion title="Click to Read the Show Notes" no="1/1" default="no"] 1:10 Raymond recounts his first real experience in entrepreneurship, telling about the “driveway car wash’ he owned with his friends. 1:33 [On lessons learned from this early venture] - “One of the lessons was the operating costs are always higher than you think they are.” 1:50 “Any industry worth being in is crowded.” 2:15 How law school taught Raymond to show up in the world in a professional way. 2:53 “My education in law school really helped me write with some structure, rather than just stream of consciousness, but to actually put one idea after the next in a way where something builds.” 3:05 “A lawyer is able to string a series of good ideas together and build an argument, right? Which is what a good book or a good blog post is: it’s a good argument for advocating a a piece of change.” 3:45 Raymond describes what it was like working 3 jobs out of law school, and still barely being able to cover rent.  4:04 [Paraphrasing Andy Warhol] - “You know you’re on track in your life when you’re using the best and the worst of what’s happened to you over the course of your journey.” 4:26 “If I want to have an impact in the world, I’m going to have to take some steps, and there’s going to be some painful moments along the way.” 4:52 [On Raymond’s Clients at Refound] - “I think the biggest problem we help people with, I would say, is overwhelm and ambiguity.” 4:55 “In most modern organizations, there’s a lot of thought being put into ‘How do we create a people first culture? How do we engage with employees? How do we create the conditions where people feel like they’re coming to work not just to create profit for owners and shareholders, but a sense of personal meaning.” 5:27 “What we’ve been able to do is offer a real tactical approach for how to...
