Everyone buys Bitcoin for a different reason, but there is one thing about Bitcoin that we all stand behind - the benefit to humanity. Alex Gladstein, from the Human Rights Foundation, shared why Bitcoin matters for the advancement of financial freedom. For the bulk of humanity that are subject to oppressive regimes, live with tyranny or deal with inflation, Bitcoin is a life raft. As Alex elaborated on in the podcast, Bitcoin is “an escape hatch from tyranny” and “Trojan Horse for freedom” - Bitcoin is our treasure.

Alexandra (Alex) Carter is a world-renowned negotiation expert, bestselling author of the book, Ask for More, and Columbia Law School Professor.The image that most of us have in our heads when we think about negotiation is people speaking over one another, fighting for the prize. But this is not what it takes to be a masterful negotiator. In fact, quite the opposite. As Alex explains in our conversation today, it's about asking skillful questions, listening, and understanding how you can fulfill someone's needs. We'll chat with Alex about her journey, and some of the formative negotiating experiences she has had along the way to help us understand why we need to all ask for more. While we might believe we are taking something away from someone when we negotiate, we are actually contributing to the upliftment of all of those around us when we get what we are worth. We talk about ways of turning a no into a yes, why negotiation is not only about money, and the value of taking time when you make decisions. Alex's actionable, simple tactics are easy to implement, and you will undoubtedly achieve the results you are looking for if you follow her advice!In this episode, we'll talk to Alex about: * Even in the most turbulent times, you can always ask for more. [2:35]* Hear what Alex was like growing up, the social struggles she felt she had, and how she discovered her passion for teaching and leading. [4:28]* When Alex unearthed her love of negotiation and how she applied it to her own life. [6:48]* The story of how Alex negotiated her first salary and what she learned from this. [8:09]* Why negotiation is more about asking great questions than anything else, according to Alex. [10:22]* Stories of clients Alex worked with who negotiated their salaries and improved their standing in their companies. [13:16]* No does not have to be the end of the line; it's an opportunity to ask about the other person's concerns. [14:51]* How Alex thinks about questions, and the role they play in negotiation. [17:19]* What Alex sees in her work with women and their thoughts of negotiation. [20:41]* Alex's take on why negotiations are opportunities to steer relationships. [23:20]* How Alex, as a speaker, has turned no's into yes's when negotiating speaking fees, and what other entrepreneurs can learn from this. [26:40]* Negotiating does not always have to be about money; you can find other ways to get value. [30:49]* The top three biggest mistakes people make when they negotiate. [33:50]* You are already enough, so go out there and ask for what you want. [38:32]* Unless you are working in an emergency room, you don't have to make a decision on the spot. [39:42]* Alex's struggles with imposter syndrome and what we can learn if we have this challenge. [42:38]* When you use your voice, you are inspiring others to do the same. [44:44]* Why Alex always knew she would be where she is today. [47:01]* Everyone, even those you look up to, struggle with imposter syndrome.

In part 1 of this episode we play another round of three words in the national league as Alex tries to predict what Kevin and Anthony say. We also discuss the sticky stuff drama and if it's good or bad PR for the league. As Alex likes to say, there's no such thing as bad PR. So with the ban on sticky substances and pitchers being inspected during games, is this attention good or bad for baseball?

My conversation with Alex today raises the question of whether the pandemic was a jumping off opportunity for those who have for stuck on a burning platform for far too long. Throughout the pandemic I have heard several of my guests similarly insist that the pandemic forced critically important changes that were easy to avoid until a crisis of this magnitude came along. Alex explained that for some organizations, the pandemic was an opportunity to demonstrate bravery, increase their tolerance for risk, and persuade key decision makers to do the same. These are the types of insights that Alex and the research team found in between the lines of the latest Charity Benchmark’s report. The findings are essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the effects of the pandemic on the charitable sector and in particularly for those who are in the UK. As Alex shared with me, the pandemic has had a significant impact on long-term thinking and will no doubt accelerate change that was for some organizations long overdue.

Welcome back Reel Friends! This week, our hosts Alex and Walker dive into an interesting category, Movie Plots That Wouldn't Work Today. After some discussion, the two settled on the horror classic, Scream. Known as the Wes Craven film that reignited the fire for the horror movie genre, Scream follows the terrifying tale of Sydney Prescott a  year after the murder of her mother. A new killer, who targets the girl and her friends by using horror films as part of a deadly game could be anyone they know, maybe even love.

In the third of our special Transit Unplugged episodes from Virtual ThinkTransit, we have the final keynote from Day Three. Our final keynote of the conference had Geoff Gray step into Paul Comfort's shoes to moderate this amazing panel of Phil Verster, President and CEO, Metrolinx; Erinn Pinkerton, President and CEO, BC Transit; and Alex Wiggins, CEO, New Orleans Transit. Phil started off highlighting projects underway that will keep going to meet the needs of one of Canada's fastest-growing cities. But it's not just infrastructure, it's a focus on safety and getting people to feel comfortable taking transit again. Alex, as other speakers will note later, the pandemic highlighted the often historical disparities between the people who need transit and those who run it. Alex's own parents couldn't fully use the transit system he now runs. And the ferry system that's part of his network was once used as an embarkation place for African slaves. In New Orleans, as in many other cities across North America, people of color were disproportionately affected by both the pandemic health-wise, but economically as well. As Alex had to reduce service at the height of the pandemic, was he inadvertently hurting the very people he most needed to serve. Alex's goal, spurred by the pandemic, is looking at his entire transit system and remove barriers. He wants to get headways below 15 minutes and make transit riders equal to car drivers in access to jobs and services. Erinn, started her talk acknowledging that her office sites on the traditional lands of the Lekwungen, Songhees, Esquimalt, and WSÁNEĆ peoples. This, for people in British Columbia, is an important part of addressing the past disparities and injustices we benefit from now. BC Transit, as Geoff mentioned, serves the transit needs of an area bigger than the state of Texas. Erinn sees her job not as getting things back to normal but also to get things to something better. For example, morning and evening rush hour service is some of the most expensive services in the system, what if that becomes less important than better mid-day and weekend service? Mid-day and weekends have been in the past when people use transit less, but now that's changing. And Erinn is innovating with programs like Transit to Trail to get people to popular hiking spots and reduce pressure on communities and parking in already sensitive areas. After Erinn's talk, the panel took questions from the audience on the points raised above, like fares (The whole Province of B.C. is going fare-free for kids under 13 starting in September) and how each agency is helping people feel safe and ready to ride again. They are looking forward to the time when people have a place to take transit to again. "We have to be there for people. Mobility is freedom. Transit plays a role in helping the community recover, and I know that right now, transit riders feel that this is their one chance for a social connection." -- Erinn Pinkerton

Alex Omeyer and I discussed defining, tracking, and measuring technical debt. Technical debt generates a liability that every organization must deal with. As Alex states, “tech debt might not be the sexiest topic” but if teams and organizations don’t address their liabilities it will be difficult to deliver the value customers need and expect.  We also talk about the practicalities of pivoting life ambitions and entrepreneurship. Alex is the Co-founder and CEO of Stepsize.   Alex personally spends most of his time speaking to the best software development teams in the world about how they handle technical debt. Hit him up to talk tech debt. He loves to share what they taught him. Alex and his co-founders are building Stepsize—a free tool for engineering teams to track and prioritize technical debt. Stepsize’s mission is to make software development more accessible, efficient, and powerful.  Website: https://www.stepsize.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandre-omeyer-060a0175/ Twitter @AlexOmeyer The Software Process and Measurement Cast is a proud media sponsor of the Global Scrum Master Summit.  The First Global Scrum Master Summit Week of May 17th, 2021, Live and Recorded Organized by the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast   http://bit.ly/scrummastersummit21 The Software Process and Measurement Cast is a proud media sponsor of the DevOps Online Summit.  Last call!  The DevOps Online Summit is nearly here!  During the week of  April 26th – 30th Tom Henricksen and crew will deliver the third summit.

To conduct a post-mortem investigation on the Amazon warehouse union vote in Bessemer, Alabama, we’re joined by Alex N. Press—staff writer for Jacobin and one of our favorite labor reporters. As Alex wrote recently, “In the United States, every step of the unionization process is stacked against workers. It is a miracle that anyone ever unionizes.” We discuss the militancy of capital, the organizing conditions of labor today, and the battle for building worker power. The deck was stacked. We lost this fight. But the class war wages on. Follow Alex: https://twitter.com/alexnpress Read Alex: https://www.jacobinmag.com/author/alex-press • Amazon Waged a Brutal Anti-Union Campaign.

The RBC Heritage handed out their Tartan Jacket to Stewart Cink after he put on a clinic at Harbor Town to claim his 3rd win there, and second this season after not winning for 11 years.

In the Korn Ferry Tour, past guest Ryan French (The Monday Q Guy) was on the bag of this week's guest Mark Baldwin, tweeting about the entire experience like a champ (9:48). And over in the LPGA, Lydia Ko also returned to the winner's circle, absolutely demolishing the field at the Lotte Championship in Hawaii (10:49).

It was a week unlike any other at The Masters, as the azaleas bloomed, the world's best didn't make the cut, a relatively unknown bursted onto the scene, and Japan reigned supreme for the second week in a row at Augusta. Hosts Alex Lauzon and Michael Russell break down everything from the past weekend's Masters Tournament, including Hideki Matsuyama's huge win and what it means for the sport (1:58). Alex and Michael also announce a brand new partnership with the First Tee - Greater Austin (TX) in an effort to continue to grow the game and give back to the golf community (16:38).

It's one of the most wonderful week's of the year, but before hosts Alex Lauzon and Michael Russell get into all that, Michael wants to relish his first correct pick on tour this year after Jordan Spieth returned to the winner's circle at the Valero Texas Open (2:00). Past guest Fredrick Lindblom had reason to celebrate last week as he won conditional status on the Canadian Tour after a great weekend at Q School (6:00). And in California, rookie Patty Tavatanakit roared her way into the LPGA scene with a commanding wire-to-wire victory at the year's first major, the ANA Inspiration (7:30). Back in Georgia, Augusta hosted the ANWA, concluding in Japan's Tsbuasa Kajitani winning in a playoff (9:17). But Michael asks the question: where's the LPGA event at Augusta (10:06)? Alex and Michael's attention then turns to this weekend's Masters tournament, where Dustin Johnson looks to defend, Spieth looks to continue his form, Rory McIlroy hopes to finish his career grand slam, and Jon Rahm wants to bring a jacket home to his newborn baby (11:36). Alex and Michael also throw out some sleepers to keep an eye on ahead of the most exciting golf week of the year. Meanwhile in Tuned In, Alex got a little more of awards season with the SAG awards, and Michael is turning back the clock with a classic NBC show (19:30). This week's guest is former PGA Tour pro Richard Lee, who shares his incredible story of earning Tour status, what it's now like to teach golfers in Arizona, and what it was like to play with Tiger on a Sunday (21:58). Baseball season is underway, with snow, COVID-19, and poor starts for Michael and Alex's favorite teams (58:53). Meanwhile, March Madness continues to destroy what's left of everyone's bracket (1:01:20). As Alex and Michael #AlwaysEndWithFood, they get hot and heavy over DJ's controversial Champions Dinner (1:02:00).

Alex Pardo’s entrepreneurial life started by wholesaling baseball cards as a kid, but he got distracted by checking all of the boxes for things he “should” do. After college, he took on a corporate job, but it wasn’t long before he realized that he didn’t want to be chained to the W-2 life forever. For him, one of his biggest fears was that he’d look back in the past and regret what could have been.As Alex so perfectly puts it, “A salary is a ticket to forego your dreams”. That’s when he started to look into real estate as a side plan to escape corporate life. Alex started scaling up his business, but then he realized that that was not the direction he wanted to go into. As you scale, you need more people to keep up with the volume, and then your overhead rises.He was no longer the one talking to buyers and sellers. He was managing people, and he didn’t love it. Pretty soon Alex felt like God was tapping him on the shoulder to do something different. And part of that something different looked like making more money by scaling down.Now, in addition to his smaller team, Alex found his passion in helping entrepreneurs get clarity on their vision for their business. He runs an exclusive mastermind named Ascend for entrepreneurs who are serious about building a life around their business. If spending more time with your family sounds like the kind of lifestyle you’re looking for, check out Alex’s podcast Flip Empire.What's Inside:How Alex makes more money by doing fewer deals with a smaller team.While scaling down, Alex found that he was passionate about helping other entrepreneurs make that same pivot into living their best life. Why I believe that 80% of what we do is grounded in our mindset.

It was a busy week in golf, but at the WGC Workday Championship, Collin Morikawa walked away with a big win (1:43) as he and almost every other golfer wore Sunday Red in honor of Tiger Woods after his horrific car crash last week (5:23). Across the world of golf we also saw Annika Sorenstam return to the LPGA and make the cut (7:03), Branden Grace takes an emotional win at the Puerto Rican Open (8:42), past guest Joseph Winslow wins big (10:10), and as Alex said last week, Happy Gilmore is coming back (11:02)! This week the PGA Tour heads to Bay Hill for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and Alex and Michael share some early picks with another star studded field (13:00). In Tuned In, Alex is watching the new Montanabama Shore on MTV, while Michael watched a train wreck of an evening for the Golden Globes (15:00). This week's guest is Korn Ferry Tour pro Austen Truslow, who shares with Alex his journey to being in the top 50 on the Korn Ferry Tour, chipping one handed, and what it was like to dunk a hole-in-one in Puerto Rico (18:03).

Not in an ugkadh this project will never end sense, but in that there is always some patch to stay on top of, some newly-evolving best practice to follow, or some new […]

Another week in Hawaii and the putts were rolling in all weekend, especially from Kevin Na, who claimed his fifth career win at the Sony Open (1:50). Feel good stories from Nick Hardy and Chris Kirk also popped up atop the leaderboard (4:52).

Alex talks to writer Ronan Maher, ostensibly about whether lockdowns have become an integral part of leftist political thought. As Alex polishes off a bottle of wine beers, it degenerates into a wide-ranging conversation about the state of the world today.

Alex has a chat with CEO of emaginit Daniel Moneypenny, aka the guy who knows a guy, about branding, marketing, networking, and business development. Daniel also shares a bit of his journey which includes serving in the Army, becoming a male model, attempting to steal something from Phil Knight, and more. As Alex says, “to know Danny is to be in awe of him.” We think you’ll agree. Notes How Alex and Daniel met The secret to Daniel’s energy Daniel describes his childhood Moving to California and becoming a Forest Fighter Enlisting in the Army and joining the US Prix Leclerc Team Having a ton of interesting jobs including becoming a make model, running antique shops, and starting a fitness shoe store College and starting emaginit Naming, branding, and building his reputation Shifting from branding to networking and business development Big failures and big rebounds Creating the correct work environment Lightning Round Links Emaginit“The Laws of Nature”  by Robert Greene “Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike” by Phil Knight “Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World” by Admiral William H.

A new year has begun! Its time for resolutions and rebirths, unless you are Spaghetti Town, where much remains the same. As Alex and Jakub start the new year off with absolute disappointment with the 3D Doritos, this leads to a discussion about some of the most disappointing things that have happened to them as well as food they grew up with that one disappeared and came back again. Jakub is notorious for his odd eating habits, so they revisit other odd eating habits they have. They delve into what their OnlyFans specialty would be and it probably get too much thought put into it. The NHL season is back and this leads to a bit of NHL trivia that likely overstays its welcome. Follow us on Twitter: @SpagPolicyPod and tell your friends!Follow us on Instagram: SpagPolicyPodWe have merch on Teepublic (http://tee.pub/lic/3gpLBQovuAU)Send us an email/questions/comment and we will read it on the next episode at SpaghettiPolicyPodcast@gmail.com

First up, get Andy's take on the big stories of the week, including the ongoing fight over the presidential election, lawsuits, recants, taking back of recants, and how the media is covering it all. Then, Washington Times legal affairs reporter Alex Swoyer shares more on AG William Barr authorizing a DOJ voter fraud probe. Alex also recaps all of the cases making their way through the system to contest voter irregularities in battleground states. As Alex explains, the legal assault exposes election shenanigans -- but faces high hurdles.

Small businesses everywhere are looking for an outlet to grow and expand their customer base, especially in the virtual tech environment we find ourselves in today. To assist these transitioning businesses, Alex Goode, founder & CEO of GoSite, launched this platform to help small businesses, namely service ones, transition from offline to online.  Listen in as host Neal Bloom and co-host Ashok Kamal, Executive Director at Tech Coast Angels San Diego, discuss the process of bootstrapping a startup and much more with Alex Goode.  4:37 Alex has been surrounded by small businesses since he was a child, as his family members owned and operated them. He spent much of his childhood helping run those ventures. Alex went on to study engineering at University of Michigan, where he learned how to code and build websites. When he wasn’t in class, Alex utilized his  skills to help his family members and other business owners develop an online presence. After graduating, he moved to San Diego where he recognized an opportunity to help San Diego small businesses, and launched GoSite in 2013.  6:20 Like most startups, Alex started his journey with nothing but an idea and some pocket money. When GoSite first launched, it was more of an agency model, in that it was service-oriented and the team was very hands-on with their customers.  At that time, the startup didn’t even have a tech buildout. After running the company for a few years, Alex realized that there was an opportunity for GoSite to create a tech platform that would more effectively help small businesses grow and operate. In 2017, the startup launched its first product on its SaaS platform. By the end of the year, the GoSite team decided to pivot and become a tech company.. In 2018, they scaled their SaaS business from zero to $2 million within 18 months of pivoting. 11:39 While there are companies like Shopify designed to help businesses sell products online, GoSite goes a step further and caters to those who more specifically want to sell local services, like nail salons, auto repair shops, etc. 13:14 Although some investors prefer not to invest in ventures that cater to small businesses, GoSite has found support from many investors who are able to see the massive opportunity to help small businesses navigate the transition to digital. 14:50 GoSite’s main goal is to transition businesses online, and COVID acted as an accelerant. As Alex puts it, COVID “has changed GoSite from being a nice-to-have to a must-have.” Small businesses are constantly looking for new ways to attract and retain customers, so GoSite gives these business owners a platform on which to digitally engage with customers without worrying about the technicalities themselves. GoSite has partnered with various SoCal investors such as Serra Ventures, Tech Coast Angels, and many more to fundraise and grow the company. 21:08 Looking ahead, Alex aims to continue growing the company and team. His focus currently is centered around product development and engineering.    Alex’s favorite local tacos:  Avocado tacos at Fat Fish in Pacific Beach    Connect with Alex: LinkedIn   Keep up with GoSite: LinkedIn  Website: https://www.gosite.com/ Facebook: @gositeinc Twitter: @gositeinc Instagram: @gositebusiness   Thanks to our partners at Cox Business for their support in enabling us to grow the San Diego ecosystem.

Greg Nokes, Master Technical Architect at Heroku, is joined by Alex Broussard, the CTO of THINKMD. THINKMD is a technology company that's working to build next-generation clinical logic. The primary aim is to put healthcare tools in the hands of anyone, anywhere, but especially in places where healthcare access is limited. As Alex points out, the obvious challenge in such a platform is to optimize the application to work in low bandwidth settings. To work around this limitation, THINKMD designed their platform as a progressive web application, ensuring that, not matter what, it function as an "offline first" app. Data is collected and stored locally, and transmissions between the client and the server occur when Internet connectivity is restored. In addition to networking challenges, the functionality and the visual design of the app also has strict hardware limitations. The mobile devices running THINKMD are not smartphones, but rather older feature phones which lack touchscreens and keyboards. However, they're still very durable, with incredible battery life, and operate better under remote conditions. These phones run an operating system called KaiOS, which allows developers to build networked apps that run in Chrome browser environment. As well, THINKMD was founded by two doctors, which requires every update to the app to pass very rigorous clinical standards. Information that's presented cannot just have a good UX: it must also be accurate, as it's literally dealing with life or death situations. THINKMD's frontend runs on Vue.js. This choice was partially made because of Vuetify, which provides localization support, a component that's key to the app as it's used in over a dozen languages. By trusting how Vue and Vuetify support the look-and-feel of the app, Alex and his team can focus more on the backend data retrieval and delivery, including setting up duplicate servers across Asia and Africa to address latencies. For other teams who are building a multi-regional app targeted at low latency countries, Alex strongly suggests that you consider optimization techniques in advance of feature development. Links THINKMD's mission is to eliminate preventable deaths by increasing healthcare access via new and disruptive technologies KaiOS brings smartphone functionality to affordable devices

Alex Hillkurtz is a renowned storyboard artist for feature films, television, and commercials. His film credits include Argo, Almost Famous, It’s Complicated, and many others. In contrast to the fast-paced world of storyboarding, Alex enjoys the slower pace of sketching and painting in watercolors. He lives in Paris, France - a city that provides an endless source of inspiration for Alex’s architectural and landscape watercolors. As Alex roams the streets of Paris, a small cafe nestled under bright red awnings on street corner may catch his eye. Observing intently the scene before him, he endeavors to capture not just the form, but also the essence and feel of the place. His beautiful architectural watercolor paintings are born from a three-step process: first, he does a very light pencil sketch. Next, he creates darker, loose marks with a fountain pen. Finally, he applies gorgeous flows of watercolor washes. Alex's compositional and design choices feature strong elements of linear perspective. Your eye is drawn into Alex's paintings, yearning to satisfy your curiosity about the scene before you. It’s clear that Alex Hillkurtz’s broad illustration and storyboarding experience in the film industry leaves an indelible imprint of the language of cinema in his watercolors.

In this episode of Behind the Deep State, host Alex Newman explores the spiritual nature of Black Lives Matter, showing that BLM founders and leaders openly admit they are conjuring spirits and supposed dead ancestors that are "working" through them. As Alex explains, the Bible condemns this as witchcraft, sorcery, necromancy, communication with demons, and more, all of which the Bible calls detestable. The dark spiritual nature of BLM should have been obvious from the fruit of the movement: riots, destruction, death, burning, looting, hate, division, and even murder. Now, these same BLM activists are training teachers to summon "ancestor spirits" into the classrooms with school children. Obviously, this is a spiritual war. It is time for churches to take their rightful place at the front lines of the battle.

As Alex and Jon drive to the circuit on Thursday morning, they're here to get you up to speed on the big talking points ahead of the Tuscan GP. (Officially: "Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio Della Toscana Ferrari 1000 2020"). As Ferrari prepare for a weekend of celebrations the headlines were stolen by their departing driver Sebastian Vettel, who confirmed his deal to drive for Aston Martin in 2021.

Alex always enjoyed things in relation to audio. he started off as a rapper (his lyrics were more focused on the uplifting feeling, being there for each other and the feeling that you are on top of the world). As he became older, he decided to play around with music production programs to release the musical melodies that were bouncing around in his head. When it came to his instrumental style, he created everything from scratch and Alex enjoyed making the following style of music: Classical, Hip Hop, R&B, Lo-Fi, Scores (epic movie music). As much as I enjoy making music, I always wanted to make something that everyone can enjoy (music is subjective so I was limiting the potential people I can connect with). As Alex got older his voice became deeper, to the point where he started sounding like a radio host. I had to ask, Yo Alex is that your real voice, his response: "Yes, that is indeed my real voice."

We think we are so smart. We finally figure out that niching down on a narrow customer segment is the best place to start and then grow. It works. But as we grow, it doesn’t occur to us that our customers start to niche us. What does that mean?  Alex Goldfayn, CEO of the Evangelist Marketing Institute, and author of the new book, 5-Minute selling: The proven, simple system that can double your sales … Even when you don’t have time, explains that our customers put us in a bucket for that thing we sold to them. They get used to it. When they discover other problems and opportunities, they will seek solutions in other vendors because that is not what we do. That is how our customers niche us. They buy one thing from us and that’s what they think we do. If we don’t check in on them and ask them two simple but important questions, we might not be able to break out of that niche.  Alex is not telling us we need an entirely new sales process…just a new system for proactively following up with customers, when nothing is wrong, to show that we care and that we want to help. Helping sells, and all that.  Alex suggests a simple follow up system of a certain number of customers every day (5 minutes worth) and ask two questions: What are you working on these days that I can help you with? What are your other software vendors doing for you that we can help you with?  Just two questions.  As Alex explains, if you follow up with 5 customers per day, every day, for a year, you will have huge results in your sales pipeline. And all you are doing to call to find out how you can help.  More about Alex: The bookHis websiteOn LinkedinThat LinkedIn post with the sticky note on the phone Get on the email list at helpingsells.substack.com

In this podcast, we have again Cecilia Muller Stahl, actress and manifestation coach from Berlin. She's the queen of the art of getting to the core of who we are, called deep manifestation from the soul. Cecilia came into manifestation as a part of her healing journey and bodywork, which she explains not just about the body touch but also about touching the soul. Having worked through herself using different methods from different people, she realized that she has the hunger to help others heal. It was then that she felt it's her calling-- that something that had been missing the entire time she was on and off the stage as an actress. Helping women struggling with issues around food and body image was Cecilia's first work. She holds a special place for people going through the same things she went through. Her journey taught her that no one deserves to have that feeling of 'no self-worth, no deep connection; always in the spiral of wanting to eat then self-loathing for doing that', just as she did back then. To her, when we get to do what we want, that's when our lives come to fruition. It is how our soul starts to speak, communicate who we really are and unlocking the powers that we hold deep within ourselves and manifesting. But the best part here: Alexandra and Cecilia take this conversation into a crucial topic that has put down millions of people, especially women and girls. FOOD, satisfaction, and pleasure. Cecilia and her ideas around pleasure have exciting takes on this topic that hopefully would shift the narrative on this very important and basic human need that society has turned overly complicated. As Alex puts it, "the grandeur of nature was the richness that made me understand that life is not lacking; that life is always giving, and it's a matter of tapping into that." In such a short conversation, Cecilia opens up our minds to the idea that manifesting desires and pleasure and being at peace (by letting go of the desire) can go together. She reminds us, 'allow yourself to want what you want and bring you peace.'   Links mention in the podcast Cecilia’s FB page Watch video of the podcast Support me on Patreon! Schedule free Ayurvedic consultation Start today – Road to Self Care – Ayurvedic Self Massage Techniques   Podcast Highlights Following pleasure, what feels good for my body and trusting myself and body again were my guide; not a food plan whatsoever. Then this resonated with money issues because it's the same self-worth wound that was healing. - Cecilia Muller Stahl Generally, women were not allowed to follow and enjoy their desire and pleasure. If I allow pleasure to be a priority, then I get back to really sensing what feels right, what feels good and what does not. Dieting prevents us from doing that. We have all these instincts that we need to trust. Our bodies speak and it sends clear signs. - Cecilia Muller Stahl We have put a lot of restraints on ourselves but then we have to please ourselves with food or other things. We have forgotten what natural hunger is; we have unlearned to listen to know what hunger is, our desire for sleeping and resting. - Alexandra Kreis We all long for satisfaction. We crave because we want this inner feeling of emptiness to be fulfilled we don't expect to be satisfied through it. Accept that you're hungry and that you're curious about how does satisfaction feels and when are you going to feel it. That is when you get the understanding that you don't have to live lacking. - Cecilia Muller Stahl Don't try to sort out your desires into fake and genuine. Instead, feel into every desire and the degree of your fulfillment. Track the feeling of completeness, track how your heart and whole being resonates with that desire. - Cecilia Muller Stahl   Guest BIO Cecilia is a manifestation coach and actress living in Berlin.

In the midst of the pandemic organizations are facing challenging times and over the last few months we have seen positive and negative decisions occur in response to what is happening. There have been some companies who have handled tough decisions while still keeping their people first--showing employees respect, empathy, and transparency. And there are other companies who have made, what seem to be, harsh and unfair decisions in a way that create anger and chaos. The question is, is there a way for organizations to prepare for uncertainties and challenging times in advance, so we don’t have to get to a point where these tough decisions have to be made?  Creating resilient organizations There are situations where leaders will have to make tough decisions, regardless of how much advanced planning is done. But, as Alex’s book examines, there are ways to make our organizations more agile and fluid, so that when a crisis comes, they are able to not just survive, but thrive through it.  Alex gives a great example of two companies who faced the same crisis and their different outcomes. There were two large photography/film companies, Kodak and Fujifilm. Both were extremely successful at one time, but when the industry was disrupted Kodak kept using the same business model, which no longer worked. As a result Kodak went bankrupt and completely went away.  Fujifilm on the other hand had a CEO who had been obsessed with the thought of the company dying for awhile and had put a plan in place before it was too late. The company aggressively reallocated resources into a whole new way of business, which was cosmetics. It turns out the chemical process and the intellectual property related to aging film can be used in cosmetics for aging skin. So instead of staying on the same logical path of film, they saw the industry coming to an end and went an entirely different direction. They are still around today.  The key is they planned for this extreme disruption before it happened. If you wait until a crisis happens to react, you are never going to have a resilient company. You can’t make a change that big overnight, which is what a lot of companies are trying to do right now. You have to do the work upfront and be a bit of a futurist so that you can see multiple possibilities ahead.   So really, the responsibility for creating resilient organizations starts with the leaders. But the traditional way of leading organizations is not the right model for this type of change. We need a different style of leadership.  Moving away from the stereotypical leadership style In the past a lot of people have viewed a leader as someone who is the smartest one in the room, the one who makes all of the decisions and picks the right ideas. As Alex shares, if you as the leader are the smartest one in the room, you have failed in your hiring.   Being a leader is not about being knowledgeable in every aspect of business and it is not about making every decision, it is about creating the environment for great ideas to emerge and succeed. It is the job of the leader to create the culture that embraces creativity and innovation, and to give authority to individual employees to make decisions.  Alex gives a great example from the German company, Bosch. They decided they were going to invest in 200 projects inside the organization. So they gave those 200 projects a budget of 120,000 Euros and they gave them three months. After the three months were up the company looked at the results from all 200 projects and they killed off 70% of the projects and re-invested a bit more into the remaining 30% based on the results they saw. The remaining projects got to continue on for a bit more time and then after that time was done they all got reevaluated. And based on the findings from the evaluation, they discontinued 75% of those projects. So at the end of the process they got down to 15 projects (out of the 200) to continue on with.  The important part, as Alex explains, is, “It wasn't the leadership that decided on the ideas, per se, it was the evidence that showed if they would get follow up investment. So what's the leader's role? It's about creating the right environment where these teams can explore, fail a lot, and learn the environment where the teams that didn't get follow up investments are not kind of stigmatized as losers because they couldn't get the project, right? No, that's a normal ratio from early stage venture capital. We actually know that one out of 250 ideas is an outsized winner. So, it's that kind of culture you need to put in place. So we don't start to stigmatize those who didn't succeed, because they're contributing to the portfolio. So as a leader, again, you shouldn't be the expert, because then you hired wrong. That obviously depends on the kind of domain you're in. And your main job is to create the conditions for success to emerge. So,you know, that is one of the messages that I found really, really intriguing from Alan Mulally, he likes to say, sometimes, as a leader, you can create too much value.” How to create a culture of innovation Leaders can’t just let culture happen, culture has to be designed and managed. If you want to create a culture of innovation, it has to be done intentionally. A lot of organizations have failed at innovation because the CEO is not spending a lot of time focused on it. And if people inside the company see that the leaders don’t care about innovation, or worse, that leaders are punishing creativity and new ideas, then people are going to stop trying. CEOs do have to spend time focusing on executing and managing the existing, but if innovation doesn’t have enough power, it’s always going to play second fiddle.    As Alex shares, “At Logitech, the CEO Bracken Darrell spends 40 to 60% of his time on innovation. That gives innovation power because it's symbolic if the CEO spends a lot of time on innovation. Then the next question is oh, so the CEO picks the winning ideas? No, the CEO creates the culture and metrics and spaces where innovation can emerge. And that is a partnership between innovation and execution. Those are two different domains and they need to live in harmony, not kind of entrenched in a kind of Warzone. So, sometimes innovators like to call themselves pirates or rebels. I think that's silly because pirates and rebels get killed. Like why would you want to be a pirate or rebel? It’s not about breaking the rules. It's about the leadership creating the right rules so we can do both. World class execution and world class innovation.” If a leader feels like they just don’t have an innovative team, most likely there is a cultural problem. Either that leader or a previous leader in the company has punished people for actually exploring ideas or there is no incentive to innovate. The first thing that needs to happen to create an innovation culture is to tear down all of the blockers that are preventing people from innovating.  One of the biggest blockers to innovation that Alex mentions is business plans. He says business plans are the enemy of innovation because it is an execution document where you describe a dream in detail and you execute it. Innovation is about picking an idea, adapting it, and then changing it until you create value. There are other blockers like focusing on the wrong metrics and leaders thinking they can do everything on their own. You have to get rid of all of the blockers to innovation before you can put innovation into place. Alex suggests leaders read the shareholder letters from Jeff Bezos, which are publicly available.  How start building an invincible team If you are a mid-level manager, or a leader who is responsible for a team, but maybe you are not the CEO of the company, what can you do to start building an invincible team? Using a method from Rita McGrath, Alex says the first step is to take a look at your CEOs agenda and see how much time is carved out for innovation. Or look at the company’s last four important meetings and see how much time was spent talking about innovation. In either of those instances if the answer is not over 40%, you actually need to consider if it is worthwhile to spend your time on innovation, because as he says you will be “fighting against windmills”.  This is an important first step because you have to know what your company’s innovation readiness is. Is your environment ready for innovation to happen? If it is not, take a look at the top levels of the organization and ask yourself who can you get on board as a sponsor to support innovation. Is there someone at the top level who is willing to push for innovation and offer top level protection for people to explore?  Alex says, “You need that top level protection, I'd say, because otherwise all you're going to do, and unfortunately we still see this in quite a few companies, all you're going to do is innovation theater. No company is lacking innovation activities. There's incubators, there's all that kind of stuff. I'm not even talking about ping pong tables, I'm talking about real innovation activity. But as long as it's not connected to strategy, it's really a little bit of a suicide mission. I know a lot of innovation leads are up for that suicide mission. That's why they call themselves rebels and pirates. But I think we need to be a little bit more pragmatic. And, you know, first understand, how ready is the company. And then based on that assessment, either change the job or say, Okay, here's the strategy.”

“The Third Door” by Alex Banayan is one of the most entertaining and compelling books we have ever read. Filled with adventurous stories and profound pieces of wisdom, The Third Door illustrates the true power of passion, persistence, and having a mission greater than ourselves. In The Third Door, Alex tells the story of how, at 18-years old, he decided to let go of his pre-med track at USC, and instead, follow his heart towards his mission; to interview the world’s most extraordinary thinkers and discover their secrets to success. The Third Door takes readers on an incredible journey - from hacking the Price Is Right for start-up money, to chasing Larry King through a grocery story, to booking interviews with some of the world’s most impactful thinkers. Interviews with Bill Gates, Maya Angelou, and Steve Wozniak, as well as a collection of others revealed one thing they all have in common; they all took the Third Door. Now, “What is The Third Door?, you may ask. As Alex explains, Life, business, success… it’s just like a nightclub. There are always three ways in. There’s the First Door: the main entrance, where 99 percent of people wait in line, hoping to get in. The Second Door: the VIP entrance, where the billionaires and celebrities slip through. But what no one tells you is that there is always, always… the Third Door. It’s the entrance where you have to jump out of line, run down the alley, bang on the door a hundred times, crack open the window, sneak through the kitchen—there’s always a way.”

Tick Boot Camp’s guest today is Jody Hudson from the Alex Hudson Lyme Foundation. Ms. Hudson joins the podcast today on behalf of her daughter, Alex. Ms. Hudson is from Fresno, California. Her daughter grew up a typical, healthy girl who loved to play sports. When Alex was in 5th grade, she started to experience joint pain. Doctors found nothing and dismissed Alex as a medical mystery for 10 years. She was correctly diagnosed with Lyme in May 2017, but it was too late. Lyme triggered Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) in Alex, and the two diseases destroyed her body. She was never able to gain control of her illness and passed away in March of 2018. As Alex was always service oriented, once she was diagnosed with Lyme, she wanted to help others. If you would like to learn about how Ms. Hudson is carrying on her daughter’s legacy through the Alex Hudson Lyme Foundation, then tune in now!
