In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative power of stories and how they shape our lives. We explore a critical conversation between Rich Roll and Andrew Huberman on the concept of 'interjection'—the idea that consuming certain types of content can subconsciously influence our decisions and shape our personalities. This episode emphasises the concept that 'garbage in, garbage out,' meaning the quality of what we consume directly impacts our lives and who we become.In This Episode, We Discuss:- The concept of 'interjection' as discussed by Andrew Huberman- How stories and ideas from books can lead to positive changes in our lives- The importance of choosing inspirational and positive contentBooks Mentioned:1. Ari Wallach - Longpath: A book about thinking long-term and embracing a mindset that goes beyond short-term gains.2. Rich Roll - Finding Ultra: A transformative story of personal endurance and overcoming obstacles.3. Ross Edgley - The Art of Resilience: An exploration of mental and physical endurance, illustrated through the author's swim around Great Britain.4. John McAvoy - Redemption: The autobiography of a former criminal turned world-record-holding athlete, showcasing the power of redemption.5. Brene Brown - Daring Greatly: A dive into the power of vulnerability and courage.6. Daniel Kahneman - Thinking, Fast and Slow: A profound exploration of our decision-making processes.7. Carol Dweck - Mindset: A transformative analysis of the growth vs. fixed mindset.8. Simon Sinek - Start with Why: An exploration of finding deeper purpose and clarity in life.9. Sebastian Junger - In My Time of Dying: A part-medical drama, part-autobiography on confronting mortality.10. James Clear - Atomic Habits: A guide to building good habits and breaking bad ones.11. Angela Duckworth - Grit: The power of passion and perseverance in achieving long-term goals.12. Stephen Pressfield - The War of Art: Strategies for overcoming the resistance creatives face.13. Tim Ferriss - Tools of Titans: A compilation of routines and habits from high achievers.14. Randy Pausch - The Last Lecture: A moving reflection on life and legacy, offering profound insights into achieving dreams.These books have greatly influenced my mindset and my hope is that they inspire you too. Keep learning, keep growing, and remember: the stories you consume and the challenges you overcome shape the person you become. We all possess the power to transform our lives through the insights we gain and the actions we take. Until next time!

Guest: Angela Duckworth, professor at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance“There's got to be a cost” when you pursue your passions, says University of Pennsylvania professor Angela Duckworth; in fact, the word “passion” comes from the Latin word for “suffering.” But that doesn't mean that gritty people are unhappy. After the time needed for sleep, daily exercise, friends, and family, Dr. Duckworth explains, “what's left is more than 40 hours.” Informed by her research and her own happiness, she tries to discourage her students from settling for a 9 to 5 life: “There's so many people that exemplify a life of dedication, and hard work, and of happiness, and humor, and friends, and family, that I think we should tell young people, ‘Look, don't assume that's not possible.'”In this episode, Angela and Joubin discuss being punctual, Danny Kahneman, AP Calculus, moving the finish line, teaching grit to children, Arthur Ashe, Diana Nyad, passion and sacrifice, hiring gritty people, “change your situation,” Marc Leder and Rodger Krouse, Invictus, ChatGPT, neural autopilot, and Steve Jobs.In this episode, we cover:“I have a thing with time” (01:36)Being the GOAT (06:37)Mr. Yom (09:27)Chef Marc Vetri (14:15)The Devil Wears Prada (16:03)Talking about grit (18:12)Satisfaction, loneliness, and happiness (20:24)Success as a journey (28:23)The cost of hard work (32:52)Angela's 70-hour work week (36:31)Charisma and loving what you do (40:55)Why high achievers have supportive partners (47:07)The next book (55:25)Pick the right market (57:45)Therapy questions (59:53)The Incredible Hulk vs. James Bond (01:02:45)Automating decisions (01:05:43)What “grit” means to Angela (01:09:39)Links:Connect with AngelaTwitterLinkedInAdditional reading:Redefining Success: Adopt the Journey Mindset to Move ForwardBuy Grit: The Power of Passion and PerseveranceConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

We’ve all read different self-help or productivity books, and there are many that talk about a narrow section of a particular topic. I mentioned this as I started this season, and I’m interested in exploring what it could look like to take several of these books and start to put the concepts together to get a more broad view of the topic. Now, there are many reviews and summaries available that cover the topics, but I’d like to start exploring how these different books intersect - how they fit together, like a puzzle. I haven’t really started delving into this yet, but I’d like to share how I hope to approach this, and then probably start rolling through this over the upcoming months. Here are some of the books I have in mind (and a little about each one): The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan What is the one thing I can do such that doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary? Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown Less but better. Procrastinate on Purpose: 5 Permissions to Multiply Your Time by Rory Vaden Eliminate Automate Delegate Procrastinate Concentrate Interview I had with Rory The Power of Habit: Why We Do what We Do in LIfe and Business by Charles DuHigg How habits work (the habit loop) and how to create new habits Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life by Nir Eyal Opposite of distraction is traction (this blew my mind - I thought it was focus) Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport Develop deep work routines to drastically improve your focus while working Grit:  The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth Grit is about stamina, not intensity Passion is not quite what I thought it was I participated in a 2-month book club on this book Time Management Magic: How to Get More Done Every Day and More from Surviving to Thriving by Lee Cockerell Haven’t listened yet, but I have listened to Lee Cockerell’s podcast and have heard many of the principles he has in the book. Lessons he’s learned and fine-tuned while working as a VP at Disney World as well as in other management positions in the hotel industry Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen Get everything out of your head and on paper “Being creative, strategic, and simple present and loving don’t require time - they require space.” There are probably many other books or resources I could include in this, but these 9 were readily available on my Audible account. As you can see, they all relate to time management and productivity in some way, but all from different angles and perspectives. I don’t have a solid plan on how I’m going to tackle this project or how I’m going to share results with you when I do, but I want to at least take the first step and introduce this to you. I also don’t know what it’ll look like when it’s done, but that doesn’t really matter right now. Maybe you would even be interested in working with me on this - maybe like a virtual book club or something. If so, send me an email: jr@joshuarivers.net, and let me know that you’re interested in this. If I get enough people interested, we’ll get something started. Also, let me know if there are any other books you think I should add to this list. I’m going to have links to each of these books in the show notes, in case you want to check them out.

Coach Robbins talks about mindset, authenticity and a blue-collar work ethic that can overcome nearly all obstacles.   Introduction: Hey everyone and welcome to the All-Star Leader Podcast, where together we learn about leadership from the best and brightest, and keep it fun by connecting it to our passion for sports! I'm your host Daniel Hare, and today for the first time on the show we get to hear from a college head coach, and I can't think of anyone more fitting to be the first than Jeremiah Robbins. Jeremiah and I first met in 2010 at Western Oregon where he was the head baseball coach. While at WOU he led the Wolves to a 252-109 record, seven straight conference titles and five NCAA tournament appearances. He left Western Oregon in 2012 to take over a Lewis-Clark State College, where all he has done is take the Warriors to five NAIA national championship games, winning the 2015 2016 and 2017 crowns. More important than his on-field accomplishments, however, Coach Robbins is a tremendous leader, a man of integrity, and someone I am proud, humbled and honored to call my friend. This is Jeremiah Robbins. Coach Robbins thanks so much for coming on the show!   Interview Questions: Most important question first: does the tropical fruit enterprise continue at Lewis-Clark State? Share with the audience what your team did every year with tropical fruit sales, how they did it and what the results were? What was the purpose in having your team do that? Instead they split/deliver firewood for a fundraiser The fruit sales was a great teambuilding exercise as well as getting the athletes out in the community 150 cords of wood; deliver and stack it. (Daniel – At D2/NAIA, finances are challenging and this is important to the program. How did you come up with these unique fundraisers, and why? They wanted to have a blue-collar approach Get creative Build bonds with the community and increases attendance (Daniel – encourage teams to match their off-field activities like fundraising to their program's identity) Let's now rewind and start at the beginning. Tell us about where you're from, your upbringing, and when/how baseball was instilled in you. Grew up outside of Roseberg, OR Blue-collar town and family was in logging industry. Dad cut trees for 30 years Work hard, pay dues, put time in Led to disciplined, hard-nosed baseball at a young age Had some success in high school Opportunity to play in college and bounced around a few places due to grades. But got those in order and was able to finish up at Western Oregon Then jumped right into the fire as an American Legion coach immediately after finishing school/playing Struggled early on, but grew as a coach and got a JC job before moving back to WOU and then LC State. Early age is where all his qualities/characteristics were formed (Daniel – Can you speak to those who try and adopt others' approach to coaching, etc. rather than being themselves? How important is authenticity?) Kids want real; they will see right through you in a heartbeat Very transparent; players know who he is and what he is about This breaks down walls between players and coaches and makes them feel loved Baseball is pretty simple, but the personal relationships, discipline, etc. are what separates Getting a player to trust you is harder and harder, so as a coach you have to be on your toes to connect with them Never faked anything and is always up front with his guys (Daniel – talking about Bob Stoops and getting close to your players) In many ways your college career looked similar to many of the players you have recruited and coached over the years, taking advantage of opportunities at both junior colleges and four year schools before arriving your final stop. Talk a bit about your journey through those college years and how that helps you connect with your current players. Would like to change his journey since he had to bounce around because he didn't go to class But it has given him appreciation for the kid who has struggled some early on and just needs someone to give him a second chance. They often times just need someone to put their arm around them, believe in them, help them get a degree, etc. Learned from past mistakes and has made him a better coach Flunked out of school freshman year after not going to class all fall semester; lost his baseball scholarship and had to go get a job. Worked as a logger for a year and a half before getting back into baseball. Only one in his family to have a college degree. Wound up graduating with a 3.0 GPA after starting with a .2! Degree the most important thing for players; graduation rate improving at LC State. (Daniel - How do you evaluate whether someone deserves a second chance?) There can be sticky situations, and the relationship with the player Have you done your homework as a recruiter and a head coach before bringing them to campus? Must do this work at a higher level. Can't just make it about athletic ability and can they help you win. Once it gets into someone else's hands (law enforcement, etc.), there's not much he can do. Things are getting worse. Social media is limiting face to face contact which is detrimental. He doesn't let players email professors, etc.; have to go talk face to face. Coaches aren't investing the time required to properly screen prospective student-athletes. Sit down and talk with the kids, for a long time and not necessarily about baseball, and just learn about who they are. First four days of the fall are meetings. They don't touch a baseball. They have to write a paper about their “why.” They aren't perfect; have had a few issues but generally have been pretty fortunate. Eliminate shortcut mindset and promote a growth mindset a team and hard work mindset. (Daniel – all that up front work is long-term approach which may not have short-term benefits but works in the long-run and you still win!) He has shrunk practices at times down to one hour of intense/focused practice, and gets more done than two and three hour practices he used to conduct back in the day Today he is meeting with all 45 players and they aren't even practicing at all. Sometimes more impact from a 15 minute conversation with a kid than a three hour practice When you think back to your first year as the Western Oregon head baseball coach, what comes into your mind? What do you think you did well or right, and what maybe causes you to say “what was I thinking?!” Was the associate HC when the HC had to resign immediately before the season, so he was named the interim. Had immediate success But looking back he was so wrapped up in the game that he didn't take time to enjoy it. Still struggles with that today, but is working on it. The personal relationships are the most important. His national championship is getting emails from past players. You've now had tremendous success at two different institutions, and at least at WOU you did so with very limited resources. How have you been able to accomplish so much with the odds stacked against you? Hard work Surround yourself with good people; you can overcome a lot with this. Coaching is not a one-man show; have a support staff of coaches/administrators who believe in what you're doing. Don't let a lack of resources be your scapegoat or excuse for not achieving. Compete. Have a growth mindset. It's not about the scholarship but about playing baseball and getting a degree. Have a chip on your shoulder and use that as motivation against the better-funded schools. See challenges as motivation rather than obstacles. Go get athletes who aren't after the scholarship, but instead those who want the LC State experience and community. (Daniel – lots of your players have been drafted into MLB, so you're getting talented guys) How do you approach balancing success at work and success at home? Feels like he has failed at this, and feels bad for his wife and boys But working on it and getting better at it Wife has been biggest supporter This summer took a full week to just be together as a family; so setting aside time is important. When you're home, trying to leave your job at the office All goes back to mindset. Recently reading much less about baseball and much more about mindset. Angela Duckworth (Grit), Carol Dweck (Mindset), Daniel Coyle (The Talent Code) all are authors he's reading now. This helps at home in addition to coaching. Rapid Fire Questions (one word/phrase answers) Name one trait or characteristic you want to see in a colleague. Honesty What habit has been key to your success? Mindset Most important app or productivity tool? iPad app for Facetiming family and videoing hitters Resource recommendation (book, podcast, etc.) Extreme Ownership – Jacqo ; Lee Babin One bit of parting advice for our audience? Hard work and love. Final question: tell us what we can expect from your team this year! Whole new team – 7 guys drafted off of last year's team (none were previously drafted so all developed while at LC State) Great mindset and ready to go.

My guest for Episode 58 of The Startup Playbook Podcast is Ivan Lim, the Co-founder and CEO of Brosa, Ivan Lim. Ivan's first startup, Vinspi, was an online men's tailored clothing store which went through the AngelCube accelerator program. Ivan then moved on from running his own startup to joining Elto (then known as Tweaky) as their "Founder's Apprentice" before going on to  become the Head of Marketing at Elto, which was later acquired by GoDaddy. He then used his experience to become the Co-founder and CEO of Brosa, an e-commerce business delivering designer furniture and homewares direct to customers. In 2015, just 18 months after launching, Brosa raised $2M in Series A funding from Airtree Ventures, one of the leading VC funds in Australia and have since gone on to continue scaling their growth with a team of over 70 people with multiple offices in Melbourne, China and India. In this episode we talk about seeking rejection, the importance of being intentional with culture, the future of e-commerce and the fundraising process for early stage startups.   Show notes: Elto Ned Dwyer Brosa AngelCube Vinspi Andrew Birt Muru-D Angela Duckworth - Grit (book) Richard Li  Warby Parker Bonobos Casper Dollar Shave Club Airtree Ventures Craig Blair Sitepoint Ivan Lim (Twitter) Ivan Lim (LinkedIn) Feedback/ connect/ say hello:  Rohit@startupplaybook.co @playbookstartup (Twitter) @rohitbhargava7 (Twitter – Rohit) Rohit Bhargava (LinkedIn) Credits: Intro music credit to Bensound Other channels: Don't have iTunes?
