Cultivating Knowledge: Biotechnology, Sustainability and the Human Cost of Cotton Capitalism in India by Andrew Flachs (University of Arizona Press, 2019) tells a story of how farmers in rural south India evaluate agricultural success through shifting calculations of social meaning, performance, and economic aspirations. Navigating multiple avenues of incentives, Dr. Flachs moves beyond the hidden links of consumption and production to concerns about how people engage with global change on the level of the farm field. By choosing to plant either genetically modified or certified organic cotton seeds, farmers risk their livelihoods by participating in diverging courses of sustainable agriculture. The farmer's choice of seed reflects a performance of transformation regarding knowledge and agrarian sensibilities within rapidly changing socioeconomic and material realities that are influenced by both a colonial past and the neoliberal present.

Interview with Andrew Lopez: “No feeling is final” - The Journey of an Entrepreneur In this episode I interview Andrew Lopez from California, who has a video production company and the mission to connect small business owners around the world through the vessel of video. What a powerful episode! We touched on loneliness versus connection on the entrepreneurial journey. On how to deal with feelings being a sensitive and empath.

Digital Marketing for Humans

In this episode, I had a chat with  Andrew Cabasso. He is the Founder of Postaga, a software tool that helps marketers connect and build a relationship with their audience through email outreach.We talk about how business people can save resources in the long run by spending time validating their idea first with the target market. He also shares the benefits of having a co-founder rather than doing everything yourself. Listen up, and you will find a lot of value in this episode.In this episode, we discussed: How he taught himself to code and was able to code an app that helps find available time slots for delivery of groceries. That great idea cannot be a business if no one is willing to pay for it. Spending a lot of time validating the idea so you don’t waste your time developing a product that eventually will not sell. His decision to have a co-founder who has skills that complement his and how it reduced the burden of being a start-up where you have to do a lot of things. The importance of open communication when you work with someone. As Andrew shares the things that he would want more time for, we discuss the following things to help him in that area: Trusting and empowering your people as you delegate tasks to them. Being a mentor through a feedback loop in the process of task approval. Hiring the right people. Building a diverse team not just in race but primarily in experience. Experiment and keep going until you find what works for you. Keep in mind that what works today may not work tomorrow.

Were the disciples faithful followers, or fallible failures? The answer may shock you.. We can have a visceral reaction to want to protect the character of the 12 disciples. However, a true reading of the Gospels reveals that these men failed constantly on their way to becoming faithful followers of Jesus. In the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand, the disciples are shown to be initially very practical. When Jesus told them to feed the people, they were perplexed. They were perplexed because they knew the level of their supply was not nearly enough to fill the need. Put another way, there wasn’t enough in their cup to fill everyone else’s cup.Andrew offered 5 small loaves and 2 small fish that were available. This created the dynamic for a very teachable moment for the disciples to experience. Simply stated, you are not responsible for filling everyone’s cup (or basket) only for pouring out what’s in yours.Jesus then tells the disciples to have the multitude of people sit down in groups of 50. They had no idea that he was about to perform the miracles of feeding the five thousand. This meant that their preparation for the miracle was an expression of faith in Jesus' ability to do the miracle. When we hesitate and shrink back from the call God has placed on our lives it is most often because we feel inadequate, ill-equipped, and insecure. What we learn from the disciples is that we are not responsible for filling the cups of others. Only Jesus can do that. We are, however, responsible for pouring our cup out. As Andrew offered the meager rations of bread and fish, so we may offer our cup to be poured out. In spite of everything, the disciples helped prepare the people to receive the miracle. In the same way, our faith is at work when we prepare for what Jesus is going to do. You are called to give a reason for the hope we have to others! You are never responsible for filling someone else’s cup, but you are always responsible for pouring yours out.

Friends, how about we stop allowing lane one to sap all our time and resources? Perhaps one of least understood of all realities when it comes to fundraising strategy is that lane one, for all it’s strengths, has no desire whatsoever to see investments being made anywhere else. And while absolutely essential to a thriving fundraising effort, lane one is also painfully jealous and insecure, always fearful that the organization will find a way to do without it. If you’re not convinced, just talk to someone who has seen how easily direct response can monopolize their entire shop. In working with our clients, I have found that the best way to keep lane one at bay is to rely on an impressive combination of highly-capable volunteers and highly-trusted outsourcing partners. This was our topic of discussion for this first podcast of 2021. How can we ensure a thriving lane one with the help of a trusted outsource partner? With volume and efficiency as their underlying goals, several of the essentials in lane one fundraising are best outsourced to someone you trust to get the job done better than you ever could. As Andrew and I discussed this morning, outsourcing ensures that your lane one is achieving its goals while freeing up your employees to focus on developing the meaningful relationships that yield the more significant gifts in lanes two and three.

For this last week of 2020, each day we will re-release one of the most popular episodes of the past year. We will resume our regular schedule with a new episode on 1/4/2021. Have a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!   Best of 2020 #3: Dr. Andrew Huberman - The Surprising Truth About Stress (And How it Can Actually Be Healthy) (Originally released 8/18/20)   Dr. Andrew Huberman: The Surprising Truth About Stress (And How it Can Actually Be Healthy)    THIS EPISODE WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!   Do you want to know the surprising truth about stress and how it actually can benefit your health?   Then, you will not want to miss today's episode with neuroscientist, Dr. Andrew Huberman where we cover addiction, stress, cell phones (as he calls it digital concussion) and his incredible story.    Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist and tenured Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He has made numerous important contributions to the fields of brain development, brain function and neural plasticity, which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behaviors, skills and cognitive functioning.    Huberman is a McKnight Foundation and Pew Foundation Fellow and was awarded the Cogan Award in 2017, which is given to the scientist making the largest discoveries in the study of vision. His lab's most recent work focuses on the influence of vision and respiration on human performance and brain states such as fear and courage. He also works on neural regeneration and directs a clinical trial to promote visual restoration in diseases that cause blindness. Huberman is also actively involved in developing tools now in use by elite military in the US and Canada, athletes, and technology industries for optimizing performance in high stress environments, enhancing neural plasticity, mitigating stress, and optimizing sleep.    Work from the Huberman Laboratory at Stanford Medical School has been published in top journals including Nature, Science, and Cell and has been featured in TIME, BBC, Scientific American, Discover, and other top media outlets.   Andrew's Journey   Andrew had a great start to his life.  His mother wrote children's books and his father was a theoretical physicist. Everything in Andrew's life was going very well, until he turned 13 and his parents separated. When his dad left, Andrew's mother began to experience stress.    At about the same time that Andrew's parents separated, his older sister had just left for college. This left him to face life's obstacles all alone, and reality took a sudden turn for Andrew.   With everything changing so fast in Andrew's life, he turned to skateboarding as a way to handle and relieve the stress.    It was while skateboarding in Embarcadero, San Francisco that Andrew started to meet new friends, most of whom were growing up without much parental control or influence.  This is when Andrew began to recognize that kids growing up without two parent families, lived lives that were more chaotic than other kids with more normal home lives. As Andrew entered puberty, he started skipping school, and from the ages of 14-17, most of his time was spent either skateboarding or with his girlfriend.    As time went by, Andrew also turned to boxing as another tool to handle his stress.   Andrew was ultimately kicked out of school because of the constant troubles that accompanied his presence. He was offered a chance to resume his studies under the condition of going to therapy.    The therapist was of great help, demonstrating to Andrew that there was a better way for him to structure his life. By adding certain types of life tools and structure to his life, Andrew learned that he could achieve the life he was craving internally without relying solely on fighting, boxing and skateboarding.    Once Andrew returned to school he started to play football, where his football coach advised Andrew to start running and lifting weights as a way to build his frail body.    Always curious and self-driven, Andrew began to lift weights. He fell in love with the body that he was crafting through his new hobby. His great physique ultimately pushed him into being a firefighter as a way to make a living.   With his girlfriend moving to college, Andrew would sleep outside of her dorm in the parking lot as a way to stay close with the most intimate friend he had.   Slowly, his old habits of fighting started to re-enter his life. On July 4th 1994, after getting into a fight in the small town of Isla Vista, Andrew found himself considering the direction in which his life was headed. Walking back home from the fight, Andrew decided to change his life for the better permanently. He started by enrolling in a local community college and dedicated himself to achieving excellence in weight lifting, running, reading and studying.    What followed was a metamorphosis into an organized and self-driven individual.    While at the community college, Andrew started taking Psycho-Biology (now known as Neuroscience) and found himself connecting with his charismatic professor, who ultimately acted as a mentor in his educational endeavors. Andrew was self-driven, highly motivated, and made it his life mission to get a PhD in the field of Neuroscience. He achieved his goal, which is a feat that has contributed greatly to his current success.   Addictions Andrew describes the term addiction as a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure.    Addictions start and end with the brain chemical dopamine. Whatever we are addicted to overtakes the dopamine circuits and becomes the single most powerful stimulus in our lives.   Dopamine is designed to motivate us and Human beings have evolved as a result of it.   Think about dopamine as a jet engine that propels us towards a certain direction. And when we get to this destination, we get replenished with more dopamine.   Dopamine reinforces the actions that lead to your satisfaction. It's more of a thrill when you want to get what you're addicted to than actually taking the drug itself.   Therefore, a lot of our daily actions are as a result of dopamine release in the brain. So, it is irrefutable that we need dopamine. The only question is, by what means are you going to get it?   Is it through healthy thoughts and activities that build your life? Or is it through an alternative path that will destroy a person?   Oxytocin and serotonin are the other reward systems in our brain.   They have an effect of making us blissful and feeling a desire to remain still. Examples of times these chemicals are released is when we eat a good meal or after sex.    The addiction to phones.  From Andrew's definition of what an addiction is, cell phones can definitely be classified as addictive.   Phones have the ability to take a significant amount of people's time and impede upon their ability to experience pleasure with other things.    Industries in the phone industry know this and curated what you see towards satisfying all of your specific needs. Phones now know people better than people know themselves at times. They understand all of a person's cravings and habits. The more time that an individual spends on a phone, the more that person can exhaust neural circuits and the capacity to focus.  Also, when someone is trying to be creative (writing, podcasting etc.), spending significant time on a phone can make it harder to concentrate for long periods of time.   Learning to be calm The key to leading a happy life is learning to anchor your thinking and maintain control even when you are faced with a lot of problems. Trauma at a young age is a test that many young adults experience, and at the time of the trauma many young people fail to handle it in healthy ways. This is one reason why so many young people turn to drugs as a way to either numb the pain or calm their minds to focus. The good news is, we can learn to cope with stress because the neural circuits that allow us to maintain a clear mind when we're flooded with adrenaline can be modified by experience.    If you practice how to handle stress on a consistent basis, when someone encounters real life stress, one can learn how to open up your gaze, take a second or two to analyze the situation, and finally react in the right manner.    Being too relaxed is actually the reason why so many people relapse into old habits. Your brain cannot differentiate between the dopamine being released as a result of a good thing such as a job promotion and drug abuse. So, people need to learn to embrace stress because it can be there to help you grow.    Tools to handle stress and anxiety We can re-shape and adapt better to how we react to stressful situations through employing various tools.   These tools help us develop a bulletproof mindset in relation to how we handle problems as they arise.   With enough practice, you develop a higher level of understanding and control over your nervous system. Respiration - Breathing in twice through your nose and breathing out once through your mouth. Vision - Dilating your gaze and seeing as much of the room as you can. Then try to see yourself in that room. Stressful environments - E.g. taking a cold shower or 25-50 quick deep breaths.   Connect with Andrew Website - http://www.hubermanlab.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/hubermanlab   Connect with Doug Instagram: @dougbopst Facebook: Doug Bopst Website: www.dougbopst.com/gift   More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss: www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order

The magic of music and Christmas can bring new love. A Christmas hat, a magic Victrola, and a special carol create dance and romance. Augusta Brown is a milliner in Philadelphia with a shop in front of her elegant home displaying seasonal hats of every kind: pillbox, cloche, peach basket, fascinator—feathers fixed to a comb, and large-brimmed hats. Her stunning Christmas display features a red and white hat atop a well-lit tree. Her late husband encouraged her weekly ladies club and bought a Victrola that he and Augusta used to dance to, especially “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear” at Christmas. With him gone she spends Christmas holidays alone, and the Victrola sits unused in a corner. Yearning for something new, August feels like moving to Boston and opening a dress company but her friends urge her to open up to romance instead. When a handsome gentleman enters the shop, the Victrola starts playing “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear,” startling Augusta, who explains it hasn’t played since her husband passed away. Andrew Knight introduces himself and orders a hat for his sister. Augusta tells him to come back for it the Friday before Christmas. Augusta works all week on the bright red hat—and makes sure the Victrola is covered and in the corner. She tells the machine that it is the Friday before Christmas, and there is to be no funny business. As Andrew opens the shop door that afternoon, the Victrola begins playing right where it left off. In an awkward moment, Andrew asks Augusta if she cranked the Victrola this morning. While explaining that she hadn’t touched the Victrola, Andrew takes the hatbox and holds it at his chest. He wanders around the shop, admiring Augusta’s store. Then he finally turns and asks if she would like to go to Christmas Eve dinner with him and his family. After mumbling “yes,” he tells her to be ready after closing her shop on Christmas Eve. When Andrew arrives at Augusta’s door late Christmas Eve, the Victrola begins playing again. As Augusta rushes toward the Victrola to turn it off, Andrew takes her hand and twirls her in a circle. Augusta reluctantly rests her head on his shoulder through all five verses of the carol. Although she puts up a fuss for months, Augusta never buys a train ticket to Boston to start a dress company. She stays in Philadelphia with her hats, spending each Christmas with Andrew as her husband, dancing to the Victrola. Augusta is grateful for the midnight hour when love itself became clear.

Dr. Andrew Huberman: The Surprising Truth About Stress (And How it Can Actually Be Healthy)    THIS EPISODE WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!   Do you want to know the surprising truth about stress and how it actually can benefit your health?   Then, you will not want to miss today's episode with neuroscientist, Dr. Andrew Huberman where we cover addiction, stress, cell phones (as he calls it digital concussion) and his incredible story.    Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist and tenured Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He has made numerous important contributions to the fields of brain development, brain function and neural plasticity, which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behaviors, skills and cognitive functioning.    Huberman is a McKnight Foundation and Pew Foundation Fellow and was awarded the Cogan Award in 2017, which is given to the scientist making the largest discoveries in the study of vision. His lab's most recent work focuses on the influence of vision and respiration on human performance and brain states such as fear and courage. He also works on neural regeneration and directs a clinical trial to promote visual restoration in diseases that cause blindness. Huberman is also actively involved in developing tools now in use by elite military in the US and Canada, athletes, and technology industries for optimizing performance in high stress environments, enhancing neural plasticity, mitigating stress, and optimizing sleep.    Work from the Huberman Laboratory at Stanford Medical School has been published in top journals including Nature, Science, and Cell and has been featured in TIME, BBC, Scientific American, Discover, and other top media outlets.   Andrew's Journey   Andrew had a great start to his life.  His mother wrote children's books and his father was a theoretical physicist. Everything in Andrew's life was going very well, until he turned 13 and his parents separated. When his dad left, Andrew's mother began to experience stress.    At about the same time that Andrew's parents separated, his older sister had just left for college. This left him to face life's obstacles all alone, and reality took a sudden turn for Andrew.   With everything changing so fast in Andrew's life, he turned to skateboarding as a way to handle and relieve the stress.    It was while skateboarding in Embarcadero, San Francisco that Andrew started to meet new friends, most of whom were growing up without much parental control or influence.  This is when Andrew began to recognize that kids growing up without two parent families, lived lives that were more chaotic than other kids with more normal home lives. As Andrew entered puberty, he started skipping school, and from the ages of 14-17, most of his time was spent either skateboarding or with his girlfriend.    As time went by, Andrew also turned to boxing as another tool to handle his stress.   Andrew was ultimately kicked out of school because of the constant troubles that accompanied his presence. He was offered a chance to resume his studies under the condition of going to therapy.    The therapist was of great help, demonstrating to Andrew that there was a better way for him to structure his life. By adding certain types of life tools and structure to his life, Andrew learned that he could achieve the life he was craving internally without relying solely on fighting, boxing and skateboarding.    Once Andrew returned to school he started to play football, where his football coach advised Andrew to start running and lifting weights as a way to build his frail body.    Always curious and self-driven, Andrew began to lift weights. He fell in love with the body that he was crafting through his new hobby. His great physique ultimately pushed him into being a firefighter as a way to make a living.   With his girlfriend moving to college, Andrew would sleep outside of her dorm in the parking lot as a way to stay close with the most intimate friend he had.   Slowly, his old habits of fighting started to re-enter his life. On July 4th 1994, after getting into a fight in the small town of Isla Vista, Andrew found himself considering the direction in which his life was headed. Walking back home from the fight, Andrew decided to change his life for the better permanently. He started by enrolling in a local community college and dedicated himself to achieving excellence in weight lifting, running, reading and studying.    What followed was a metamorphosis into an organized and self-driven individual.    While at the community college, Andrew started taking Psycho-Biology (now known as Neuroscience) and found himself connecting with his charismatic professor, who ultimately acted as a mentor in his educational endeavors. Andrew was self-driven, highly motivated, and made it his life mission to get a PhD in the field of Neuroscience. He achieved his goal, which is a feat that has contributed greatly to his current success.   Addictions Andrew describes the term addiction as a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure.    Addictions start and end with the brain chemical dopamine. Whatever we are addicted to overtakes the dopamine circuits and becomes the single most powerful stimulus in our lives.   Dopamine is designed to motivate us and Human beings have evolved as a result of it.   Think about dopamine as a jet engine that  propels us towards a certain direction. And when we get to this destination, we get replenished with more dopamine.   Dopamine reinforces the actions that lead to your satisfaction. It's more of a thrill when you want to get what you're addicted to than actually taking the drug itself.   Therefore, a lot of our daily actions are as a result of dopamine release in the brain. So, it is irrefutable that we need dopamine. The only question is, by what means are you going to get it?   Is it through healthy thoughts and activities that build your life? Or is it through an alternative path that will destroy a person?   Oxytocin and serotonin are the other reward systems in our brain.   They have an effect of making us blissful and feeling a desire to remain still. Examples of times these chemicals are released is when we eat a good meal or after sex.    The addiction to phones.  From Andrew's definition of what an addiction is, cell phones can definitely be classified as addictive.   Phones have the ability to take a significant amount of people's time and impede upon their ability to experience pleasure with other things.    Industries in the phone industry know this and curated what you see towards satisfying all of your specific needs. Phones now know people better than people know themselves at times. They understand all of a person's cravings and habits. The more time that an individual spends on a phone, the more that person can exhaust neural circuits and the capacity to focus.  Also, when someone is trying to be creative (writing, podcasting etc.), spending significant time on a phone can make it harder to concentrate for long periods of time.   Learning to be calm The key to leading a happy life is learning to anchor your thinking and maintain control even when you are faced with a lot of problems. Trauma at a young age is a test that many young adults experience, and at the time of the trauma many young people fail to handle it in healthy ways. This is one reason why so many young people turn to drugs as a way to either numb the pain or calm their minds to focus. The good news is, we can learn to cope with stress because the neural circuits that allow us to maintain a clear mind when we're flooded with adrenaline can be modified by experience.    If you practice how to handle stress on a consistent basis, when someone encounters real life stress, one can learn how to open up your gaze, take a second or two to analyze the situation, and finally react in the right manner.    Being too relaxed is actually the reason why so many people relapse into old habits. Your brain cannot differentiate between the dopamine being released as a result of a good thing such as a job promotion and drug abuse. So, people need to learn to embrace stress because it can be there to help you grow.    Tools to handle stress and anxiety We can re-shape and adapt better to how we react to stressful situations through employing various tools.   These tools help us develop a bulletproof mindset in relation to how we handle problems as they arise.   With enough practice, you develop a higher level of understanding and control over your nervous system. Respiration - Breathing in twice through your nose and breathing out once through your mouth. Vision - Dilating your gaze and seeing as much of the room as you can. Then try to see yourself in that room. Stressful environments - E.g. taking a cold shower or 25-50 quick deep breaths.   Connect with Andrew Website - http://www.hubermanlab.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/hubermanlab   Connect with Doug Instagram: @dougbopst Facebook: Doug Bopst Website: www.dougbopst.com/gift   More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss: www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order

In this crazy world we politely call 2020, there is a pattern change in M&A, Chapter 11s, Royalties, and how investors operate. Taking the commodity price out of the picture, the balance sheet will make the difference on companies looking to restructure under Chapter 11, and then undergo the M&A after the re-organization. As Andrew and I catchup from our pre-covid meeting at last year's NAPE, we are reminded that nothing appears to be the same and data will be more important when making investment decisions. Royalties are one of the hottest assets in the market, and had one of the best quarters in 2019, and may still have some volume in this market towards the end of the year. The Appalachia had most of the M&A activity this year as there was more stability in the gas market. The Haynesville had almost no activity as it is well positioned with takeaway and location. Market looks to have some increases in M&A towards the rest of the year but will remain low unless there is a large commodity price change. Andrew thank you for stopping by, it was fun chatching up again. Hopefully we can visit at NAPE again in the future.

Around 15 years ago, Andrew Hood was transferred to another city for work. It coincided with having financial problems due to a bad real estate investment that he had made at the time. He was isolated from family and friends with a failing single income, a bad investment and a two year old son. He had always been a sufferer of anxiety, but at that point, he was deep in depression also. Andrew didn’t want to let anyone know that things had gotten so bad because that would be like admitting he was failing at life. Things go so bad that his wife ended up calling his father because she was scared that he might hurt, or perhaps even kill himself. Around that same time, he had people coming up to him at work and asking him to be their mentor because they saw him as someone who really had his act together. To put it simply, Andrew was living a lie at work and at home. His wife calling his father was probably the best thing that could have happened to him because of the love and support his parents have always shown him. Andrew still remember his father saying “You don’t understand son, hearing the words ‘dad I need help’ is one of the nicest things that I could ever hear as a father." Soon, Andrew had a plan with his father and accountant to get out of the investment trouble once and for all and was starting to see a therapist about his mental health struggle. Over the next 15 years, Andrew has been working on his career (Now a Director Of Sales for a multinational IT Company), and started a blog which was awarded no.39 in the Best and Most Inspiring Blogs Worldwide, Written two self-published books, and, late last year, signed a publishing contract to release his first novel to the world. He also now loves reading philosophy and learning about people. His life is busy but great. He helps people now, with his management style and in his writing. The book he just published, The Man Who Corrupted Heaven, is about a rich man who dies and progresses through something called the 4 stages of death. It deals with self-reflecting and issues such as child sexual abuse. It is already getting fantastic reviews. Key Points from the Episode with Andrew Hood: In his day job, Andrew is a sales director for an IT company His side hustle, or “passion lane” as he calls it is in his writing Fifteen years ago, he was a junior sales rep at a company. The economy in Australia, where he lives, was booming. On top of the day job, he had lots of little passion projects on the side, and felt like he was thriving. He was married, and had a two year old, and things were good. He was tapped for relocation into a promotion. For six months, everything went well. After that, the work he was moved to do dried up overnight. At the same time, an earlier decision he and his wife made to invest in real estate went South as the global financial crisis took hold. The stress he started living under was tremendous, and the idea that the world thought he was failing only added to it. Andrew described it as a black hole that was following him, and if he didn’t keep moving forward, it would swallow him. Someone at work asked him to be her mentor because he had everything together. Little did she know, he had just been alone in a conference room crying. What was coming out was that Andrew suffers from anxiety, and he was deep in the throes of it. The mentoring brought front and center the idea that he was living a lie because people thought he was ok, but he was struggling inside and hiding it from the world. His wife knew enough of what was going on to know he needed help, and called his father to step in and ask him what was going on. His father said something he would never forget, “One of the best things a father can hear is, ‘Dad, I need help.’” His father helped him work with an accountant to get a plan around the financial problems he faced. Andrew also started to see a therapist, who he shared the idea of living this secret life. He said he always thought secrets were character-building and make you stronger. The therapist shared how the therapy community views secrets, which opened Andrew’s eyes to the need to be open and honest about what we struggle with. She said, “You are only as sick as your secrets.” After the money situation got better, the depression and anxiety remained, as if he was stuck in a hole and couldn’t bring the standard up. This was really interesting - even when the problems go away, the internal work is still needed. As he came through it, he started to write. He told his wife as he began, “I don’t always know what I’m writing until I write it down.” This helped him work through it. He started with a blog, sharing his thoughts. He put out an article on his blog on RUOK Day in Australia about his struggles with mental health and anxiety and the work he did. He was scared to release it as it would expose him and his secrets, but he published it, and the attention started. All his friends and family who knew about the financial issues but not the emotional or mental suddenly knew. What it did was flip a light switch on the issue for others, and people started to share how they also suffered with he same issues but didn’t feel comfortable talking about it. This was the final part of the secret, so when it got out, he started to finally be free of his secrets. As Andrew says, it’s a much better life when you’re not trying to outrun something. He started to get fit, where his health had been suffering for years. He’s started writing books, with is first one taking two years to write. After writing his blog, The Tipping Point, he started to realize he could piece together his thoughts to give a picture of a complete person. His first book is called The Man Who Corrupted Heaven. It was all about a rich man who doesn’t want to give up everything he spent his life building up when he gets to heaven, where you can’t bring anything with you. It follows the main character as he goes through what Andrew called The Four Stages of Death, and the growth he goes through. The sequel, The Man Who Settled the Score, is being written now, and the third book in the series, The Woman Who Stole the World, comes out later. What Andrew realized through everything this that trying to keep it all together by yourself is exhausting and doesn’t help. If you’re worried about someone judging you, then it’s probably not the kind of person you want in your life anyway. Find someone to just talk to so you can start the process. Find something you’re passionate about, and go toward that.

Welcome to Episode 50 of Building My Legacy.In this podcast, Andrew Phelps talks about user experience (UX) and the importance of meeting and exceeding your user’s expectations. Andrew is a partner and director of design for User10, a web development agency that specializes in product strategy and design. He has worked with start-ups, entrepreneurs and people in various levels of large organizations, demonstrating that thoughtful design can solve problems with their digital footprint.Today UX is more important than ever before as businesses move into the post-pandemic world. Companies will have to take a critical look at how they get their message out. What can they do more efficiently, more effectively and in a more targeted way? They’ll also need to adapt to the new world of working remotely.As Andrew explains, UX – what the user sees and interacts with on a screen – is just a small part of the overall customer experience design, which is a “process, not the end product.” UX is not a quick fix; it can’t make a good product out of nothing. But UX can go a long way to making a good digital product – website or app – great.So if you want to know:- Why UX is a collaborative process that involves conversations with customers and all internal stakeholders- How an improved user experience can lead to greater internal and external efficiencies, resulting in a better ROI- About the timeline for software development – and the importance of taking the time to understand your customers in the process About Andrew PhelpsAndrew Phelps has been a user experience designer nearly as long as this job title has been in existence.

In this week's podcast, I have a great discussion with author and actor Andrew from his book ALL IN SKIN. As Andrew mentions, you have to slowly transition into a whole new way of eating. If you are accustomed to eating bacon and eggs every morning, then skip a day and have one day oatmeal and a smoothie instead, and see how that makes your body and skin feel. If you are worried about getting into celery juicing because it doesn't taste that well or it upsets your stomach, then start off with a lower dosage. If you jump too far, you will fall down. Take small baby steps to healing your psoriasis, because indeed it's a life long journey and not a sprint. Remember I am not a doctor nor a dermatologist.

How does replenishment work in your warehouse? It is probably very manual, lots of paperwork and different stakeholders involved making it impossible to be be agile and efficient. Because of that I thought it was important to introduce you to a company that is revolutionizing this. Andrew is the CEO of ShelfAware, a company that helps suppliers see in real-time what is on their customers’ shelves through hardware tracking RFID technology. This technology allows companies to see the exact moment a customer takes an item off the shelf, how many items they take and how much is needed to replenish stock. Using RFID technology together with real-time software means that suppliers can easily replenish stock without worrying about waste, workers don’t have to waste time counting items and companies can gather data on their customer habits. From a cost effective standpoint, everyone wins. ShelfAware works as a 3rd party SaaS (Software as a service), so they don’t need to touch the product at any point in the supply chain. The software connects with a tracking code that can easily be printed by the supplier and is put on the product itself. Who is ShelfAware’s ideal client? As Andrew says, he keeps discovering new industries this system could be useful for. They started with industrial suppliers and manufacturers, but anyone from a dentist to a large scale conglomerate can make use of their product and software. Andrew has helped businesses drastically lower inventory without losing the rate at which they replenish items. Once again, this is proof that collaborating with other companies can make them stronger together. Lastly we get a sneak peek into Andrew's new show on The SC Supply Chain TV on Youtube called From the Frontlines where he brings us into the frontlines of business, entrepreneurship and supply chain!

As Andrew and Michelle continue their infection control series, they really want to focus on bloodborne pathogens—basically any disease or infection that can be transmitted via blood and other bodily fluids. Since hygienists and dentists work in VERY close proximity to their patients’ saliva, it’s helpful to know the best techniques and methods for preventing the spread of these pathogens throughout the office. Kim Laudenslager has been a dental hygienist for the last four decades(!). Based in Lone Tree, Colorado, Kim was an associate clinical professor at the University of Colorado’s School of Dental Medicine for over 30 years, and currently works with the Office Sterilization & Asepsis Procedures Research Foundation. In addition, she puts on OSHA infection prevention seminars for many professionals in the dental industry. In this episode, Kim breaks down the differences between various disease-control organizations and what their jurisdictions are, as well as explains how nurses were critical in establishing a standard for dealing with bloodborne pathogens.     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts: 7:48 - Kim highlights the differences between bloodborne pathogen regulation at state and federal levels and who has jurisdiction over what. - Debunking some of the misconceptions about the CDC’s “recommendations” and just how optional they are. - How nurses in the 1980s played a crucial role in driving OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard. - What constitutes OSHA’s annual bloodborne pathogen training? - Examining the two primary routes of bloodborne pathogen exposure. - Kim breaks takes a close look at several bloodborne diseases and even quizzes Andrew and Michelle on their knowledge. - What does it mean to be a “responder” or “non-responder”?  - Did Freddie Mercury’s extra incisors give him greater vocal range? - What are “practice controls” and “engineering controls,” and why are professionals are at a much lower risk of contracting bloodborne pathogens than they were 20 years ago?   QUOTES: “It doesn’t matter what state you live in, everybody has to comply with what we’re gonna talk about today.” “Don’t get hung up on that word ‘recommendation’ cuz trust me, it’s mandatory.” “When the CDC recommends it, it’s mandatory.” “We never alter our infection control based on a patient’s health history.” “It is our personal obligation to keep up on our own vaccines and keep ourselves healthy.” “My goal is to keep all offices out of trouble.” LINKS: Kim’s homepage - https://kimlaudenslager.com/ Kim’s email: kimlaudenslager@comcast.net    Beyond the Operatory - http://beyondtheoperatory.weebly.com/ TriviaDent - https://www.triviadent.com/ Thank you to Paradise Dental Technologies aka PDT for providing sponsorship for this episode!

Andrew shares his experiences – his wins as well as his failures and reveals some critical attributes that can help you find professional success. This show starts off with Andrew recalling his life before Student Works. Though a bright kid, Andrew had difficulty channelizing his boundless energies in the right direction. This all changed with Student Works as Andrew discovered focus and purpose for the first time in his life. In this segment of the show, we discuss the importance of finding the right launch-pad for gaining momentum early on in your career. So, what are some important values learned at Student Works that are helping Andrew to date? Among other things, we discuss work ethic, team building, and effective conflict resolution.  After graduating from Student Works, Andrew ended up working at Reliance Home Comforts, a fast-growing HVAC company. Which attributes helped Andrew rise quickly through the ranks? How did Andrew manage to lead a large team of more experienced and older people? And why he quit his job to work with a B2B company? In his current capacity, Andrew is managing $100 million worth of B2B business.  As Andrew shares his experience, we realize that companies are looking for folks who can bring about a transformation. In order to have this transformative impact, Andrew reminds listeners to always seek out a larger mandate in their professions. We are also reminded why it is important to constantly step out of our comfort zones and learn new skills that enable us to manage larger mandates.  Can good mentors help bring out the best in you? Are companies looking to hire entrepreneurial individuals? How do you deal with bad hires who are affecting the performance of the entire team? Sharing many interesting anecdotes, Andrew reveals his approach in dealing with these common situations.  Towards the end, Andrew shares some key habits that have contributed greatly to success.

Tariq Dennison is a Hong Kong-based manager of US and offshore retirement plans at his own firm, GFM Asset Management. Prior to GFM, he worked in the wealth management divisions of Société Générale in Hong Kong, CIBC in Toronto and London, Bear Stearns and JP Morgan in New York, after a few years in Silicon Valley. Tariq holds a master of financial engineering degree from the University of California at Berkeley and a bachelor of science degree in mathematics and the history of philosophy from Marquette University, and is a visiting professor of fixed income and alternative investments at ESSEC Business School Asia-Pacific in Singapore. Tariq is an IFPHK Certified Financial Planner and the author of Invest Outside the Box. He is a frequent speaker on RTHK Radio 3’s Money Talk program, HKIBN Cable News’ All About Money program. He has also presented on ETFs, investor education and retirement plans at multiple public conferences. “The number one difference between whether or not someone has a million-dollar retirement account is whether they put money in the account early on, not whether they invested in stocks, or bonds, or international, or value, or growth. It was whether they simply had the discipline to save regularly and not do stupid things. And the second thing is just making sure that we have the proper tax structuring and we take care of accounts in the right way. There are enormous differences between having something in a taxable account and a tax-free account, being able to touch it and not being able to touch it.”  Tariq Dennison    Worst investment ever Tariq offers listeners a tale in three parts, spanning the 20-odd years of his entire investment career. But like many investors Andrew speaks with in his podcast, Tariq says the challenging experiences made him the investor he is today. Part 1: Pre-bubble Silicon Valley beckons He started working, investing and made his first real money in Silicon Valley in the late 1990s. He was invested heavily in tech stocks of companies he truly thought he knew well as he either worked for them himself, or had friends working with them. He was buying the companies’ stock as he and his friends watched them prepare to go public, they were progressing, he thought he understood their business models and saw the path to success before them. And, like many others in the aftermath of the burst tech bubble, he lost money in those stocks. He points out here though that these would fail to make them his worst investments ever. It was early, the amounts were small and in total he lost less than US$10,000. Part II: Not about what he lost but the gains he walked away from His Silicon Valley forays happened before he learned proper financial analysis. “That was stage one.” At this point he was still in his early 20s. In the next stage of his journey, he went to the other end of the spectrum, becoming overly focused on target companies’ financials, and wanted them to have a lot of cash, big dividends and big earnings. He especially loaded up on two very familiar blue chip names: Apple Computer (Apple Inc., AAPL:US, APPL.OQ) and Philip Morris, a pair of the best performing stocks in the past 20 years. And thus, part two of Tariq’s story is that he sold them much too early compared to the potential they would realize even years later. He bought big parcels of each at $20 a share between 2000 and 2002, then sadly sold all his positions in them when they hit $50 a share. He had made in each stock 150% returns and was happy. But also sadly, he denied himself huge gains by selling those stocks early than he had ever lost in the tech group (Apple stock has made a simple percentage gain of 650% [or an averaged 32% per year, without compounding] since 2000). Part III: Decision to go pro leads budding investor to Berkeley At this point, Tariq attended Berkeley to study financial engineering to really understand investing in a world-class way. He wanted to learn how to analyze investments and put portfolios together. This too however came with another problem. By combining the lessons learned from parts one and two of his story, he was making his method very complicated. He came out of his master’s course with an intensely rigorous investing system with checklists, risk limits, and very careful portfolio construction involving the reading of beta analysis and multiple calculations.   Learned master invests a lot of time in highly complex system, but it works In all fairness to himself, he says of the methods he has used that this one has worked the best as it is extremely systematic and disciplined. But its complicated nature makes it cumbersome and he says that perhaps part three of his worst investment might be the amount of time he has invested in it. To his relief, within the past few years, companies such as BlackRock have taken a lot of his disciplined checklists that he created to measure financial quality, valuation, and gauge for low risk, and have incorporated them directly in an ETF that he himself buys for 20 basis points. This has freed Tariq from the tasks to do the same and lets him return to finding the next Apple or Philip Morris.    Some lessons From Part I Know the financial reasons for why you’re investing. Tariq invested in these companies because he thought he knew the companies, their business models and some people involved. If you’re going to put $100 into an investment, ask yourself whether that investment is going to make $10 a year for the next 10 years? Or is it maybe going to lose you money upfront but you see that it is going to make you $20 a year, eventually giving you a return in financial terms. Don’t be too quick to sell. So Tariq’s first mistake was perhaps buying too high. His mistake was selling too low. Even if he had held on to a fraction of his Apple or Philip Morris shares, his investment would have been far better than selling all of the shares when he did. There was no reason for him to have sold all his shares. They were paying good dividends he would have simply made money that way. Keep it simple and focus on your “edge”. Here Tariq refers to Peter Lynch’s One Up On Wall Street, he likes to look for cases of investment in ordinary products or services that he sees every day, things he can understand and see how they make money. He said that is what he refers to as a better “edge” on the target company’s valuation than do his counterparts. Respect the value of your own time. If you like spending your time actually reading financial statements and valuing companies, that is different than somebody who is busy and is happy either letting a professional or a robo-advisor take care of an automatic investment program.   “For many of your (Andrew’s) listeners, one of your greatest assets that you’re likely to undervalue is the value of your own time.” Tariq Dennison   Andrew’s takeaways Whenever you are looking to invest, you must look at the whole picture. Many people think they really understand a company, they like it or really know it, but all of that knowledge can, in real terms, be meaningless because investors must understand the market, the share price, and so many other factors. There is a lot that goes into the determination of the difference between a great company and a great stock. Investors can always move in and out of an investment position – slowly. Andrew here highlights the fact that investors do not need nor should they be “all or nothing” people. “You don’t have to jump in”. “A lot of the mistakes people make that I’ve interviewed is that they find an idea, they get excited about it, they may do some research, sometimes they don’t, but then they just put all of their money in it. Or they say, ‘Okay, I want this to be 20% of my portfolio’, and then instantly, it’s 20% of their portfolio. Why not do 3% and watch it for a couple of weeks? Give yourself some time, (especially when) you’ve already got some exposure to it … get your devil’s advocate hat on and do a little bit more thinking about it.” Andrew Stotz   What’s your edge? Andrew asked listeners: “How can you delegate what your edge is not to a reliable provider so that you can focus on your edge?”   Actionable advice Know the value of your time and know what edge you really have versus anyone else who is trying to compete with you.   No. 1 goal for next the 12 months Tariq’s is a professional goal, and that is to continue to grow his business and spread the good word about the correct methods of investing, growing and protecting wealth. And to really explain his goal, Tariq extends on Andrew’s health book metaphor from the interview: “My plan right now is to actually serve more healthy meals, and make sure that I get those healthy meals onto the trays, into the lunch boxes, of those that need the financial nutrition that I’m providing, whether it’s a question of US tax efficiency, international diversification, or simple income generation, that’s a big business, a big job.” Tariq Dennison   Parting words As Andrew mentioned “relentless” as his “one word” (Your One Word: The Powerful Secret to Creating a Business and Life That Matter), Tariq posited that his would be “curious”, as it is one trait that sums him, one trait about him for which he recalls being complimented, and one thing he credits for his youthful outlook.   “So I still consider myself quite young and I often say what keeps me young is having that curiosity and that interest in learning and the humility to know what I don’t know. So the one parting word to listeners is, you know, be open and curious, be honest with yourself and respect every day that you get the chance to learn something.” Tariq Dennison     You can also check out Andrew’s books How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market My Worst Investment Ever 9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Transform Your Business with Dr.Deming’s 14 Points    Connect with Tariq Dennison LinkedIn  Twitter   Website  Email  Connect with Andrew Stotz astotz.com  LinkedIn Facebook  Instagram Twitter  YouTube My Worst Investment Ever Podcast    Further reading mentioned Tariq Dennison (2018) Invest Outside the Box: Understanding Different Asset Classes and Strategies Evan Carmichael (2016) Your One Word: The Powerful Secret to Creating a Business and Life That Matter Peter Lynch, with John Rothchild (2000) One Up On Wall Street: How To Use What You Already Know To Make Money In The Market

Claire and Brande manage to find an analogy that involves a donkey's whiskers and a race horse that enables Claire to get her head round this tricky technology that will mean researchers can use laboratory techniques to clone the genes and introduce them into elite varieties of domestic crops to protect them against pathogens and pests such as rusts, powdery mildew and Hessian fly.

In today’s episode, I feel very lucky to have sat down, in person, with former European Tour player Andrew Coltart a couple of weeks ago. Andrew is an 18-year veteran of the European Tour having played competitively from 1993-2010 accumulated 494 European Tour starts and 6 victories as a professional. Anyone who knows the game of golf, understands just how difficult it is to qualify for the tour, let alone to keep your playing privileges. Maintaining your tour card requires that you play at high standard over time and to make cuts. The fact that Andrew Coltart was able to stay on the tour for 18 straight years speaks volumes for just how good of player he was during this time span. Added to this was the fact that Andrew played in 3 out of the 4 major tournaments. He had one US Open appearance, making the cut and finishing in 75th place in 1997. He also played in 4 PGA championships making the cut in all four of these tournaments with his best finish being T37th place. Another impressive feat is that he played in twelve Open championships with his best finish being a tie for 19th place in 1999. Although Andrew had many accomplishments in his 18-year career, his most defining moment was being selected as 1 of 12 players to represent Europe on the 1999 European Ryder Cup team. This was a tremendously rewarding experience for Andrew as it taught him many things about himself at the time. Not only did he have the skill set to make the European team, he also was able to compete at the highest level possible when the stakes and pressure were incredibly intense. You will hear Andrew speak about his Ryder Cup experience, as well as, what it was like playing a singles match on the final day against the world #1 player at the time, Tiger Woods. Andrew shares some great stories from that final day of the Ryder Cup in this episode. What I appreciate about this conversation with Andrew was his openness, his honesty, and his willingness to not only talk about the successes in his career but to unveil the curtain on failure and hardship and what he was able to learn about himself when times were tough and how he had to come to grips with a decline in performance in his game. As Andrew’s career on the tour was coming to an end, he was offered a wonderful opportunity to move into a very different role that took him from competing on the golf links to a leading role as a European Tour Sky Sports Golf Analyst and Commentator. He has thrived within this role and is a huge asset to the game of golf through the current work that he does. I want to thank Andrew for his time and energy and for being his authentic self in this conversation. Everyone, thanks for tuning into this episode, I’m sure you’ll have a lot of takeaway value. Andrew’s Bio Born in 1970 in Dumfries, Scotland, Andrew Coltart grew up playing golf at Thornhill Golf Club in the Scottish Borders, where his great uncle was a founding member. A strong amateur golfing career produced numerous victories and led to representing Scotland in the 1990 Eisenhower Trophy, and GB & Ireland in both the 1990 St. Andrew’s Trophy and the 1991 Walker Cup. Turning pro in 1991, Andrew gained his Tour card at Qualifying School, and over the next 20 years accumulated 494 European Tour starts and 6 victories as a professional. He represented Scotland in the Alfred Dunhill Cup on 5 occasions (winners in 1995) and the World Cup on 5 occasions, and represented Europe in the 1999 Ryder Cup, facing Tiger Woods in the singles matches on the final day. He is now a leading analyst for Sky Sports TV.

Aired Tuesday, 27 November 2018, 5:00 PM ESTThe Eisenhower Moment – Part IThe Great Transition To A Life-Affirming CultureAn Interview with Andrew Gaines, Founder of The Great Transition Initiative“Either we will have an awakening or we will have a wake.” — Swami BeyondanandaIn these times of great crisis and opportunity, there’s an idea that has gotten ahold of me that I call “The Eisenhower Moment”. Nearly 60 years ago, President Dwight D. Eisenhower said, “I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.”As more and more of us are coming to understand, “peace” means more than an absence of war — although that would be a terrific beginning. Peace means the end of domination, one over the other. It means fundamentally adopting and applying the Golden Rule. And more apparently than ever before, it means living in harmony with the natural world.As the crises — ecological, economic, political, social and spiritual — seem to all be arising at once, maybe we are at that moment where a critical mass of the heretofore uncritical masses can speak in one coherent voice and say, “We want THIS.”Certainly we have the means to communicate ideas and memes instantly across the globe, and nearly two thirds of the humans on the planet have a cell phone or personal device. That means that “humanity” can be mobilized around an idea or issue almost instantly…Would it make a difference?Perhaps it’s the only thing that will.Our guest this week, Andrew Gaines, an Australian visionary, activist and systems thinker has dedicated his life to bringing about such a “movement of movements.”He is a co-leader in the Great Transition Initiative – a citizen led educational movement to inspire mainstream commitment to transitioning to a life-affirming culture. Through a personal epiphany he became committed to the wellbeing of coming generations. Andrew recognizes that the long-term survival of humanity is in jeopardy, and he embraces the adage to change the system, change the thinking. As a Feldenkrais practitioner, psychotherapist and creativity trainer he is well-positioned to act on this adage. He sometimes says, “I help good brains work better.” His books include Kitchen Table Conversations, The Witness: Gateway to Self-Development, and Creative Conversations. He is trained in improvisational acting, Aikido, Tai Chi, and The Natural Step, a way of working out whether a business or a country is ecologically sustainable. He is a former naval officer with a degree in philosophy.One of the problems in addressing climate change — and other massive issues confronting our entire species — is that our tendency is to try to fix things around the edges, so that we can keep things “normal.” The problem is, that things are changing so rapidly that we cannot go backward to previous ideas of normal. We are being pulled forward into the unknown, like it or not. As Andrew points out, the climate crisis cannot be addressed, let alone resolved, by tweaking things around the edges. A systemic transformation is needed.So… how can that transformation come about — other than by utter collapse of the system as it is?How can the people of the world be mobilized, not just to rail in anger but to work together toward practical, breakthrough solutions?How do climate change educators break through the walls created by the two “drugs” of “hopium” (imagining things will just get better on their own) and “deniatol” (problem? what problem?) to mobilize our individual and collective creativity and focus?If you’re curious, tune in this Tuesday, November 27th at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET : http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/ to find out.Or, find us on the Wiki archives on Wednesday: http://wikipolitiki.com/archives/To find out more about The Great Transition Initiative, please go here: http://www.inspiringtransition.net/about-gtiSupport Wiki Politiki — A Clear Voice In The “Bewilderness”If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, “put your money where your mouse is” … Join the “upwising” — join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/Make a contribution in any amount via PayPal (https://tinyurl.com/y8fe9dks)Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!

We start by talking about the principal tenets of transhumanist thinking, as technological futurist movement and lifestyle brand and then get into the controversies surrounding transhumanism’s settler colonial and masculinist instincts and its impact upon Silicon Valley culture. We explore some of the evolutionary futurisms that predated transhumanism and ask whether computerization drove h+ thinking or vice-versa. We talk meme culture, ideas of the afterlife, Skynet, accelerationism, jetpack communism, and Andrew explains why feminist scholarship has been so important for his thinking about technological futurism. That leads us to xenofeminism and the effort to reclaim reason from patriarchal knowledge. And what Generation Z thinks of transhumanism. As Andrew says, just because things sound like crazy sci/fi ideas doesn’t make them less real. So if you care to upload your consciousness into our eternal cloud of reason, listen on!

The title says it all: Think Big, Start Small. This is the philosophy behind many accomplishments and dreams that individuals and entrepreneurs bring to fruition. Every big endeavor requires a step-by-step process of achievement. Innovative ideas are the big picture, each step turns that idea into reality is the small. Thinking big keeps eyes focused on the prize. Small achievements along the way are their own mini-prizes. Andrew Davis shares his big dream story in today’s interview. From the time he was a child, Andrew wanted to work for the Jim Henson Company, with their famous characters, the Muppets. He began by doing magic tricks; he worked his way up to performing little puppet shows. Andrew dedicated three years to skills practice, and wrote thirty-six job query letters to the Jim Henson Company, letters he sent every month. He finally received notice. With no contacts and no formal idea how to achieve his dream, Andrew managed to land an interview. This is a real example of how to think big and start small! As Andrew explains, success is achieved by breaking down goals. The big plan may seem impossible to others, but if each small step is clear and consistent, support increases. As Andrew notes, “Consistency is important to achieving big ideas.” That’s what he did. He stayed consistent and kept the rhythm. Breville is another dream big, start small and achieve company. Breville sells kitchen appliances and juicers. Their dream was to sell more juicers. They did so by targeting overweight 40-year-old men via a 90-minute documentary film called, “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.” They partnered with food companies and movie theaters and sold so many juicers that Breville ran out of juicers to sell! As Andrew says, “A rising tide lifts off ships.” It’s a clear depiction of how small steps can give rise to think BIG dreams and ambitions.

Andrew Deramo joins us to talk about his son, Andrew, currently pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays and their path in sports. Andrew is a firm believer in letting the child lead when it comes to choosing a sport. When his son decided to specialize in high school and give up basketball for a few years, Andrew didn't fight him, even though he disagreed. For Andrew, parenting a "peak performer" was about continually "letting go" of his own expectations or desires to help give room for his son to grow and find his own path. As Andrew tells it, it's not about giving up parental authority or responsibility, but checking your own pride and ambition to help your child find their own way. "Some parents take it WAY too serious. At a young age, they think if their kid is the best, he's going to be the best all the time."

The stock market just had it’s worst week since the election after Donald Trump failed to rally support for his healthcare plan. And with markets already trading at a premium, investor sentiment is beginning to pull back. As we all know, the markets have reached new heights solely on anticipation of Trump’s pro-growth policies. But will they actually be carried out? Tune in as Andrew explains today’s overarching issue… And why paying close attention to the guys upstairs (the government) is now more important than ever before.

What a character we have on the show today. His insight was so good last time we’ve bowed to popular demand and invited him back. Andrew Griffiths is an absolute wheeler-dealer, having run over a dozen different businesses. At the age of just 18 he scraped together the money to buy a diving shop, and worked a full-time job in a bottle shop in the evenings just to make ends meet. He’s sold encyclopedias door-to-door, he’s had a publishing company and numerous marketing firms, he’s written 12 books, and now he gives TED talks and business coaching to budding entrepreneurs…. is there anything this man hasn’t done? As Andrew tells us himself, he’s made so many mistakes along the way that it’s impossible to not learn from them. Read on for the great no-nonsense business tips he’s gathered along the way: ** Listen to your gut instinct. Intuition is the number one business tool. ** Let go of disasters.

As Andrew talked about with Johanna last week, curriculum is way less "what" we teach, and more of "how" we teach it. In Part 2, Tim comes on the show to join Andrew in a discussion about curriculum at the secondary level. They hit on the big themes of autonomy and creativity, and how those themes should influence what and how you teach. Listen as they discuss how to give your students a voice in curriculum planning (9:00), how to deal with a curriculum that is dictated to you (12:30), and how to ensure consistency and quality with curriculum by utilizing the National Core Arts Standards (15:15). Resources and Links: If you missed last week's episode on curriculum, give it a listen! Take a look at the National Core Arts Standards that Tim mentioned.

Long time realtor and entrepreneur, Andrew Gavin, reminded me how fortunate we are to work in the real estate industry and all the incredible opportunities we are given that can make a difference in other people’s lives. Founder of the “Bikes 4 Kids Charity,” Andrew shared with me all the amazing work he is doing to make sure children get to experience the privilege of owning a bike. As someone that received a bike from a charitable program at a young age, I was truly touched by his story and his generous work. We work in an industry where we have the opportunity to make a great deal of money. What we do with that opportunity is what really matters. There are SO many people in need in this world and it is our obligation within the real estate community to give back and impact someone’s life for the better. There is no greater joy than helping someone else. We do it every day, but why stop at selling homes when the chance to make a difference is right in front of us? What can you do to give back? As Andrew said in our podcast, “sometimes it’s a simple as buying a pencil.” If you are interested in starting your own charity but don’t know where to start, Andrew has supplied us with a “How To” file to help you or someone you know get started in pursing your passion and helping a community in need.

In this episode Andrew will dissect how we as art teachers can fit into the current “big data” educational paradigm. Art teachers are all too familiar with the buzzwords, Professional Learning Communities, Common Formative and Summative Assessments, Student Learning Objectives, and standardized tests. Everything in education seems to be about hard, quantifiable data. This shouldn’t leave teachers on the outside looking in or force them to wave the white flag or stick their heads in the sand and say that using data isn’t relevant. AOE’s good friend and go-to data diva Sarah Dougherty joins the show to talk about how art teachers can make data work for them… in short, how to make data sexy! Sarah will help answer how art teachers can make data important, fun, and meaningful and ultimately work in the art room. As Andrew and Sarah dig into data they discuss what good data and data collection looks like in the art room (6:30), what kind of assessments are best for getting that kind of authentic data (8:45), and how data can drive the decision making process in your PLC (11:30).

Andrew Griffiths is one of Australia's leading business book authors and speakers and has been at the top of his game for many years. Yet for a lot of that time he felt like an imposter. Even though he was nailing it in print and on-stage, his personal demons were never far away. In this enlightening episode of Reputation Revolution, Trevor Young chats to Andrew about an article on 'imposter syndrome' he wrote for Inc.com (here's the link  - http://bit.ly/AGimposter); Andrew tells his 'imposter' story and outlines some of the strategies he used to overcome it. You'll benefit from this chat if you're an aspiring thought leader - a business professional with a growing profile who's out and about speaking, writing, doing media, running workshops etc - but you're still carrying the burden of nagging doubt, a persistent fear that one day you might be exposed as a 'fraud' (even though the reality is far from that scenario!). As Andrew writes in his Inc.com article: "We bluff our way through life in our business, wearing our public mask, undervaluing what we do, the skills we have and the difference we make." Life becomes so much better once you overcome imposter syndrome, he says.

I was a little kid during the Vietnam War. It was on the news all the time, and besides my uncle was fighting there. I followed it closely, or as closely as a little kid can. I never thought for a moment that “we” could lose. “We” were a great country run by good people; “they” were a little country run by bad people. I spent my time building models of American tanks, planes, and ships. I read a lot of “Sergeant Rock” and watched re-runs of “Combat.” My friends and I played “war” everyday after school. Given all this, you’ll understand that I was bewildered when “we” pulled out of Vietnam. How could “we” lose the war when “we” were bigger, better, and righter? It made no sense. All this came to mind as I read Andrew Donson terrific book Youth in the Fatherless Land: War Pedagogy, Nationalism, and Authority in Germany, 1914-1918 (Harvard UP, 2010). As Andrew points out, German children were taught that their nation was great, their cause was just, and their victory inevitable. Their heads were full of heroic tales of soldiers sacrificing themselves for the good of Germany, and they longed to fight for the Vaterland themselves. So when things began to come apart in 1917, Germany’s young people were deeply disappointed. They would not “get their chance.” Rather, they would suffer hunger, humiliation, and defeat. They had hard questions for their mothers, fathers, and the authorities. How could it happen? Who is at fault? And, most importantly, what should we do?
