Podcasts about as robert

Today's guest is Robert Raymond Riopel, an author, trainer and the founder of AmentorA Inc., whose six ultimate steps to success have been transforming lives for years. Like many entrepreneurs, he's experienced highs and lows that range from finding himself 150,000 dollars in debt to retiring at the age of 32. We can't wait to share his holistic outlook on success with you. You're You, and That's EnoughIf you've been following the Live Authentically podcast for a while now, you've probably noticed that one of the points our amazing guests frequently raise is the importance of being yourself. Of course, that's easier said than done. Many of us struggle with people-pleasing tendencies and end up acting like someone we're not because we want to be liked, which is exhausting.When you're your authentic self, one of two things will happen. Either someone will like you, or they won't. As Robert points out, that's great either way. When someone likes you for who you are, you'll develop a stronger, more meaningful relationship. If someone doesn't like you, that's fine too. There are roughly eight billion other people in the world. Find Your Passion but Don't Let It Consume YouWhen we think about success, most of us imagine finding what we're passionate about and then devoting the rest of our lives to tirelessly pursuing it. That's what Robert did, but after several years he found himself burnt out. He still loved teaching and speaking, but he was drained. He'd spent so much time and energy giving and providing that he didn't have anything left for himself, and his health suffered.Rather than letting your passion consume you, practice moderation. That's hard when you're doing something you love, and you can see the positive influence you're having on people's lives, but, as the saying goes, you can't pour from an empty glass. Take time and make space for yourself to help avoid burnout. With that said, complete inaction isn't the answer either. Every single one of us has skills, talents and something to offer, and we're meant to use them. Robert is one of the most dynamic, charismatic speakers you'll ever encounter. If you get to the end of today's episode and find yourself wishing it was twice as long, head over to his website. He has a phenomenal podcast and more great resources available there.

Espionage and Enslavement in the Revolution: The True Story of Robert Townsend and Elizabeth by Claire Bellerjeau, Tiffany Yecke Brooks In January 1785, a young African American woman named Elizabeth was put on board the Lucretia in New York Harbor, bound for Charleston, where she would be sold to her fifth master in just twenty-two years. Leaving behind a small child she had little hope of ever seeing again, Elizabeth was faced with the stark reality of being sold south to a life quite different from any she had known before. She had no idea that Robert Townsend, a son of the family she was enslaved by, would locate her, safeguard her child, and return her to New York—nor how her story would help turn one of America's first spies into an abolitionist. Robert Townsend is best known as one of George Washington's most trusted spies, but few know about how he worked to end slavery. As Robert and Elizabeth's story unfolds, prominent figures from history cross their path, including Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Benedict Arnold, John André, and John Adams, as well as participants in the Boston Massacre, the Sons of Liberty, the Battle of Long Island, Franklin's Paris negotiations, and the Benedict Arnold treason plot.

Robert Kapen was an athletic college student studying Parks and Rec and working part-time at an outdoor Young Life camp when his life turned upside down. In the summer of 2011, a mystery virus caused a bilateral stroke that left him suddenly paralyzed and unable to speak. With his mind fully functioning but no ability to move or communicate verbally, Robert felt trapped in his own body.Over the next 8 years, Robert diligently engaged in speech, physical, and occupational therapies. When he was moved to a rehab facility located near the workplace of his friend, Nelly, she began visiting him regularly to brighten his day. As Robert’s communication developed from blinking to texting, his friendship with Nelly also blossomed into a relationship and eventually marriage. This week on the podcast, Robert and Nelly are sharing their story of God’s generous provision through seasons of disability, recovery, marriage, and caregiving. And as Robert approaches his 10-year anniversary of paralysis, he is thrilled that in God’s providence, he has found his voice to record his first podcast interview alongside Nelly!Resources:Visit Robert's WebsiteFind Robert on Instagram  and FacebookWatch Joni and Ken's Marriage Advice for Caregiving: As an inter-abled couple, caregiving has brought Ken and Joni Eareckson closer together.

Robert graduated from UC Berkeley, is winning the fight to walk again, and is sharing his method of how he overcomes quadriplegia. STORY: Robert suffered a spinal cord injury while playing rugby and could not move anything below his neck. He fought so hard to walk again to satisfy himself, but after a letter from one of his rugby trainees battling cancer, Robert realized that he needed to fight his challenges to inspire others. LEARNING: To overcome challenges, you must first believe that you can. You can overcome your challenges, do not let the world tell you otherwise.   “The more positive affirmations we give ourselves throughout the day, the more positive we become and the more able we are to take on life’s challenges.” Robert Paylor   Guest profileIn one moment,https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-paylor/ ( Robert Paylor) was on the best day of his life, competing for the collegiate rugby national championship. In the next moment, his life changed forever. Robert suffered a spinal cord injury in the first minutes of the game and found himself face down on the turf, unable to move anything below his neck. His doctor told him he would never walk or move his hands for the rest of his life. Through an unbreakable vision and relentless determination, Robert is defying the odds. He has graduated from UC Berkeley, is winning the fight to walk again, and is sharing his method of how he overcomes quadriplegia. Every person faces challenges; Robert’s are just visible. The skills Robert uses to overcome paralysis can be used by all to optimally perform. His message is one that inspires others to access their full potential and conquer their challenges no matter how daunting they may seem. Visithttps://www.robertpaylor.com ( https://www.robertpaylor.com) for more information. Worst investment everOn May 6, 2017, Robert played at the collegiate rugby national championship when a player tackled him. He lost his footing and dropped to the ground snapping his neck. He could not move or feel anything below his neck. Robert could tell something was wrong, and at this moment, all he could think of was his goals, dreams, and aspirations. Making it all about himselfWhen Robert found out that he could not walk, he wanted to get better for himself. He just wanted to get better and nothing else. Robert just wanted to be able to stand up on his feet, feed himself, and go back to school. Just for his satisfaction. An inspiration to manyThis need for self-satisfaction changed very quickly. One day after his injury, Robert’s high school was hosting a prayer service for him. He would typically teach rugby to young players at the school and share this passion with them. As Robert was chatting with his dad about the service, he showed him a photo of a young lad who was fighting for his life. His skin was white as a sheet, and his body as thin as a rail. After a closer look, Robert recognized the guy. He was one of the high school kids that he trained. The student’s mom had written a message to Robert telling him that his son wanted so badly to be at the prayer service to pray for Robert, but he couldn’t because he was undergoing chemotherapy. He was wearing Robert’s rugby shirt because he inspired him. And because of Robert, the student was fighting hard to beat cancer so he can play rugby. At the end of the message, the mom asked Robert to stay strong and keep smiling because his strength was helping her son stay strong too. Living for a higher purposeRobert broke down after reading the message. He realized that everything he did was not about him. Fighting for his life, fighting to walk again, and gain his independence was not just beneficial to him but also inspiring to thousands of people across the world. With this realization, Robert has been fighting hard, and now he can stand up using a walker and...

In this episode of Codeish, Marcus Blankenship, a Senior Engineering Manager at Salesforce, is joined by Robert Blumen, a Lead DevOps Engineer at Salesforce. During their discussion, they take a deep dive into the theories that underpin human error and complex system failures and offer fresh perspectives on improving complex systems. Root cause analysis is the method of analyzing a failure after it occurs in an attempt to identify the cause. This method looks at the fundamental reasons that a failure occurs, particularly digging into issues such as processes, systems, designs, and chains of events. Complex system failures usually begin when a single component of the system fails, requiring nearby "nodes" (or other components in the system network) to take up the workload or obligation of the failed component. Complex system breakdowns are not limited to IT. They also exist in medicine, industrial accidents, shipping, and aeronautics. As Robert asserts: "In the case of IT, [systems breakdowns] mean people can't check their email, or can’t obtain services from a business. In other fields of medicine, maybe the patient dies, a ship capsizes, a plane crashes." The 5 WHYs The 5 WHYs root cause analysis is about truly getting to the bottom of a problem by asking “why” five levels deep. Using this method often uncovers an unexpected internal or process-related problem. Accident investigation can represent both simple and complex systems. Robert explains, "Simple systems are like five dominoes that have a knock-on effort. By comparison, complex systems have a large number of heterogeneous pieces. And the interaction between the pieces is also quite complex. If you have N pieces, you could have N squared connections between them and an IT system." He further explains, "You can lose a server, but if you're properly configured to have retries, your next level upstream should be able to find a different service. That's a pretty complex interaction that you've set up to avoid an outage." In the case of a complex system, generally, there is not a single root cause for the failure. Instead, it's a combination of emergent properties that manifest themselves as the result of various system components working together, not as a property of any individual component. An example of this is the worst airline disaster in history. Two 747 planes were flying to Gran Canaria airport. However, the airport was closed due to an exploded bomb, and the planes were rerouted to Tenerife. The runway in Tenerife was unaccustomed to handling 747s. Inadequate radars and fog compounded a combination of human errors such as misheard commands. Two planes tried to take off at the same time and collided with each other in the air. Robert talks about Dr. Cook, who wrote about the dual role of operators. "The dual role is the need to preserve the operation of the system and the health of the business. Everything an operator does is with those two objectives in mind." They must take calculated risks to preserve outputs, but this is rarely recognized or complemented. Another component of complex systems is that they are in a perpetual state of partially broken. You don't necessarily discover this until an outage occurs. Only through the post-mortem process do you realize there was a failure. Humans are imperfect beings and are naturally prone to making errors. And when we are given responsibilities, there is always the chance for error. What's a more useful way of thinking about the causes of failures in a complex system? Robert gives the example of a tree structure or AC graph showing one node at the edge, representing the outage or incident. If you step back one layer, you might not ask what is the cause, but rather what were contributing causes? In this manner, you might find multiple contributing factors that interconnect as more nodes grow. With this understanding, you can then look at the system and say, "Well, where are the things that we want to fix?" It’s important to remember that if you find 15 contributing factors, you are not obligated to fix all 15; only three or four of them may be important. Furthermore, it may not be cost-effective to fix everything. One approach is to take all of the identified contributing factors, rank them by some combination of their impact and costs, then decide which are the most important. What is some advice for people who want to stop thinking about their system in terms of simple systems and start thinking about them in terms of complex systems? Robert Blumen suggests understanding that you may have a cognitive bias toward focusing on the portions of the system that influenced decision-making. What was the context that that person was facing at the time? Did they have enough information to make a good decision? Are we putting people in impossible situations where they don't have the right information? Was there adequate monitoring? If this was a known problem, was there a runbook? What are ways to improve the human environment so that the operator can make better decisions if the same set of factors occurs again?

True success is not meant to be limited to one area of life while leaving other areas failing or suffering.

Post By: Adam Turteltaub With the 25th annual HCCA Compliance Institute about to take place we have been collecting some rememberances of the last 25 years from various members of the compliance community. In this podcast, SCCE & HCCA board member, and the association’s next president Robert Bond shares his history in compliance. Robert, who is Senior Counsel and Notary Public at the London firm of Bristows actually has roots that dig even. About 35 years ago he was living in the Midlands of the UK and had a neighbor who was developing (loudly) a video game, often at all hours of the night. As Robert and the neighbor talked, it became clear that the programmer needed some legal help, which led Robert eventually to move fully into the then emerging field of video game law. Even at that time, he reports, gaming firms were collecting vast troves of data with often insufficient understanding  of both the opportunities and risks it posed. By the time of the first Compliance Institute he had moved to London and was leading a small firm’s multimedia practice. Notably by the 1990s privacy, which Robert specializes in, was already becoming a concern. As he shares in the podcast, with the birth of the web, more data was collected and increased focus was being paid to the ethical side and the need to be careful with what was fast becoming the new oil. His advice when it comes to data; don’t think about a privacy compliance program. Think about a compliance program and how data protection and privacy fit in. Listen in to learn more about his fascinating career, the evolution of compliance, and what he sees as a C-suite future for privacy officers. And plan on joining us for the 2021 Compliance Institute.

UNCUT INTERVIEW! Did you ever wonder if there were different types of intelligence? Most of us think of someone with high intelligence as someone who remembers everything and can complete tough mathematical formulas, in other words, a genius. But is remembering a bunch of facts and figures the true marks of a genius? Robert Kiyosaki doesn’t think so. In this edition of Millennial Money, Robert and Alex discuss the four different types of intelligence, how school hurts us with labels, and how to be successful regardless of your genius type. The Four Different Types of Intelligence Using the diagram of a tetrahedron, Robert discusses the four types of intelligence as: mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. Mental intelligence is what most of us think about when we think of a genius. The Jeopardy winner, math whiz or computer science geek all come to mind. But being a mental genius isn’t the only way to achieve success. The physical genius is another type of intelligence. Tiger Woods is a great example. Though Tiger is an incredible book smart individual (he did attend from Stanford after all) his true genius can be found on display on the golf course. The third type of intelligence Robert discusses is emotional intelligence. To Robert, it’s the lack of emotional intelligence around money that keeps people poor. As Robert sees it, the key to improving your emotional intelligence can be found through gameplay. The final intelligence is spiritual intelligence. This intelligence differs from mental intelligence because of unity. In school, we’re taught that there are winners and losers. But strong spiritual intelligence is found through unity. Game Play Reflects Behavior When Robert was a child, he learned about emotional intelligence by playing Monopoly® with his rich dad. Robert continued to focus his efforts on improving his emotional intelligence to become financially free at the age of 47. What was the key to his success? Gameplay! Once he and Kim became financially free they developed the board game, CASHFLOW® 101. Robert and Kim knew that the best way to learn (other than doing) was through simulation. By combining all four intelligence into the board game, they discovered the best way to teach people to face their fears about money and investing through gameplay. Your Difference Is What Makes You A Genius We all have a genius inside of us. Unfortunately, school isn’t the best assessment of that genius. Robert was always reminded by his rich dad to make mistakes. Rich dad would always ask, “Have you tried…” instead of telling Robert, “Do this… Don’t do that…” The best way to find your genius is by learning through gameplay in safe environments. Discover your game and you’ll find your genius. #robertkiyosaki​ #richdadpoordad​ #millennialmoney​ https://www.richdad.com/​ Facebook: @RobertKiyosaki https://www.facebook.com/RobertKiyosaki/​ Twitter: @TheRealKiyosaki https://twitter.com/theRealKiyosaki​ Instagram: @TheRealKiyosaki https://www.instagram.com/therealkiyo...​ If you would like to experience this episode in closed caption, it can be found here on the YouTube Rich Dad channel.

We’ve heard a lot the past decade about quantitative easing. Basically, it’s the government taking rich dad’s advice and printing money… literally. As Robert discusses in his new book, FAKE, there are three things we need to be diligent about as we continue to improve our financial education. The first of these, FAKE money, is what Robert discusses in today’s video. The US Treasury creates a bond which they sell to the FED. The FED then turns those bonds into money which is given to the Big Banks. The Big Banks then loan that money to the rich. This money printing process isn’t done for free, however. The taxpayer is the one holding the IOU that the US Treasury created with their bonds. After Robert discusses how money is created out of thin air through the Mandrake Mechanism, he continues to explain how the US taxpayer is now on the hook for student loans, as well. Back in 2009, President Obama shifted the flow of money out from the FED and into the hands of the people for their student loans. Where students previously sought their loans through the Big Banks, the loans were now backed directly by the US Treasury. Robert ends the discussion with a warning about the current Bubble Economy we find ourselves in and how to best prepare for when it pops. #robertkiyosaki​ #richdadpoordad​ #millennialmoney​ https://www.richdad.com/​ Facebook: @RobertKiyosaki https://www.facebook.com/RobertKiyosaki/​ Twitter: @TheRealKiyosaki https://twitter.com/theRealKiyosaki​ Instagram: @TheRealKiyosaki https://www.instagram.com/therealkiyo...​ If you would like to experience this episode in closed caption, it can be found here on the YouTube Rich Dad channel.

www.TheDavidAlliance.com    TDAgiantslayer@gmail.com    webstix.com Tony Herman - the coolest cat on the net     How gullible are you? Can you be fooled pretty easily? Most people are overly confident that they cannot be deceived and they would recognize a fraud or being taken advantage of better than most… and those are exactly the people who get taken advantage of the most.     Deception A woman who says she bought magic wands from a self-described psychic to erase negative thoughts says $5,400 of her money was all that disappeared. Joann Zansky, 57, said she paid a woman who claims to be a psychic $1,800 for each of three wands. "She was a terrific actress," Zansky said. "I believed her." Zansky said she contacted Bethlehem police after she became suspicious about the effectiveness of the wands. "We're investigating," police Lt. Robert Righi said. "Possibly it is some violation of consumer fraud." No charges have been filed against the woman named in the complaint. A person who answered the phone at the woman's business said she was unavailable.   Heres a question who should you be more mad at… the woman selling you the fake magic wands or you for believing in the fake magic wands… We could debate that all day, but lets get back to it in a second.      No one, and I mean no one likes to be deceived, taken advantage of or fooled. It belittles you and makes you feel foolish and look gullible to those around you.  The last time you were taken for a ride, how did you feel? What did you want to do to that person… probably some not so nice things. And maybe rightfully so… but still its not as bad as… as bad as what? Remember the question about the magic wands? Who should you be most upset with - the person selling the magic wands or you believing the magic wands?    So to be deceived by someone is bad… but there is one thing that trumps being deceived by someone…   James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.   OUCH… yea thats right. When you deceive yourself it really stings. So my answer to the magic wand question is you should be more mad at yourself for deceiving yourself for believing the sham.    How man of you right now are deceived thinking that you are a pretty good christian man (or woman if you are listening) You go to church, you read your bible, you attend bible study, you give in the offering… But you don't do the word. You don't really live it, you don't really practice it… You are deceived… worst of all, you are deceived by yourself. No one to blame. As Robert plant has so eloquently sung “its nobody's fault but mine”.    See the problem with self deception is that you live it for so long you actually believe it, and others do too.    So they thought he was a she….  He was a She: Everyone thought jazz musician Billy Tipton was a "he". Only as Tipton was dying at 74 in 1989 did paramedics discover "he" was a she. Tipton began masquerading as a to get gigs in the '30's--and later married and adopted three sons. Even his kids didn't know until after the death. Said one: "He'll always be Dad." -Time man   Now you ask… how can that happen. How can you go so long deceiving yourself and others… someone has to find out at some point right? Apparently not until death.   There is the lesson. Maybe you are so deceived that you may not find out that you are a phony until death… when God says… uh excuse me “who are you?”.   So what's the solution “DO THE WORD”. As my Dad said a 1000 times Read Pray and Obey… to complicated still??? I will dumb it down for you READ PRAY AND DO! Don't poser, be a doer!

The jungles and lava fields of Hawai'i hold secrets. If you've ever been to Hawai'i, it's likely that murder was the last thing on your mind. Not so for Robert McCaw's detective Koa Kane. As Robert shares in our interview, he had a home on Hawai'i and became fascinated with its culture, language, and history. To me, the islands seem the perfect place to set a series of mysteries; the sometimes flouted expectations that visitors have of paradise, the mix of cultures, not to mention the colonialism, all seem like they would contribute to the stark reality behind the tourist-facing facade. Death of a Messenger is the third book in the Detective Koa Kane series, though each can be read as a stand-alone. The others are Off the Grid and Fire and Vengeance. A fourth book, Treachery Times Two, will be published in January 2022. Today's show is supported by my patrons at Patreon.

After graduating from Georgetown University, he served as a lieutenant in the US Army before earning his JD degree from the University of Virginia School of Law. For a number of years, Bob maintained a home on the Big Island of Hawai'i, studying its history, culture, and peoples. Archaeology and astronomy are among his many interests. In researching his books, he talked story with Hawai'i County cops and walked the streets where his stories take place. He and his wife live in New York City.

Excerpt from Death of a Messenger Hawai‘i County Chief Detective Koa Kāne strapped in, and the US Army UH-72A Lakota helicopter lifted off the Hilo tarmac. An anonymous 911 call to the Hawai‘i County Emergency Command Center had reported a corpse at Pōhakuloa, the Army’s remote live-fire training area, or PTA. Sergeant Basa had alerted Koa, and was now sitting next to him as the chopper headed for the Army reservation in the Humu‘ula Saddle between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, two of the five volcanoes that form the Big Island of Hawai‘i.  The chopper turned west and climbed toward the saddle. Koa barely noticed, though. The mad dash to catch the chopper had aggravated the pinched nerve in his neck, and he sat stiffly erect to avoid further jolts of pain.  As they passed over an ambulance heading up the Saddle Road, Sergeant Basa leaned over, shouting above the roar of the engines, “That’s the county physician and the crime scene techs down there. I told them to get their butts up to Pōhakuloa.”  Koa spotted flashing lights in the distance and felt a spark of excitement. A crime scene did that to him. He counted ten vehicles: military police jeeps, EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) vehicles, a tracked ambulance, and a fire truck. As the helicopter approached, Koa saw that the vehicles were spread out along a barely visible jeep trail that meandered east of a sizable cinder cone. Yellow tape marked a path cleared by EOD personnel. Several men stood near an oval pit at the end of the tape.  As the chopper settled between two MP vehicles, a military policeman dressed in camo with a silver first lieutenant’s bar broke away from the cluster near the pit and hurried toward the chopper. Jerry Zeigler’s ferret-like face and crooked nose identified him as the commander of the military police detachment at Pōhakuloa. “Hello, Jerry.” Koa shook hands with the twenty-five-year-old ...

Post By: Adam Turteltaub NOTE: This podcast was recorded prior to the conversion of the Compliance & Ethics Institute to a virtual program. Some of the sessions and their tracks may have changed.  Be sure to visit the website to see the latest agenda. Staying on top of what’s new in data privacy is tough. As Robert Bond, Partner and Notary Public at the UK-based law firm Bristows explains, over 100 countries have drafted or implemented new data privacy laws in 2019. To help sort it out Robert sits down with us for this podcast and also shares what attendees to the 2020 Compliance & Ethics Institute will find at the Privacy & Data Security track. It will cover everything from privacy 101 to emerging laws and regulations, as well as deeper dives into CCPA, data security and cyber risks. Sessions include: Our Brave New World: International Privacy and Data Security Challenges for US Based Organizations California Consumer Privacy Act Enforcement Update Learn More from your Data While Improving Data Security Keeping up with what’s new is essential in this fast-evolving compliance risk area. As Robert explains, the European Commission in June issued a new report on the effectiveness of GDPR and identified the need to improve the exercise of data subject rights. It also called for greater cross-border regulatory cooperation and enforcement. He also notes that data security practices need to evolve to meet the new business reality, with so many people no longer in the office but working from home. Suddenly, documents that were kept securely on a corporate server may be duplicated in laptops and in printed files, making it difficult to account for and safeguard them. Listen in to learn more about what’s happening in privacy compliance and what to expect at the 2020 Compliance & Ethics Institute.

During a time when our country is experiencing a national health emergency, economic decline, and civil unrest, consumers and employees are feeling anxious and uncertain. Empathy is a word that we hear more often in terms of creating value for an organization’s culture. “Empathy is ultimately about stepping into somebody’s else’s shoes and understanding their emotions,” says Jayne Hitman, national program manager for Creating Member Loyalty (CML), a development strategy program from CUNA focused on increasing employee engagement and the member experience. With that understanding, organizations are better able to propose solutions, engage employees, and capture members’ loyalty, according to Paul Robert, CEO of FI Strategies, a strategic partner of CML. As Robert says, empathy is nothing short of a differentiator for organizations in today’s marketplace. It’s a way to attract and retain top talent and enhance the member experience.

On today’s episode of Franchise Secrets, I’m talking to a personal idol of mine: Robert Kiyosaki. Robert’s #1 best-selling Finance book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” changed my way of thinking, and my life as an entrepreneur. He joins us today to discuss how to shift our thinking and train ourselves as entrepreneurs through franchise experience. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and ideas—and as always, great stories.     After returning from the Vietnam war as a decorated airman, Robert watched his highly educated father lose his job, buy a franchise, and fail the business in a short amount of time. In comparing his own father’s experience with the path of his best friend’s successful father, Robert crafted “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” to prove how traditional education is not always the key in reaching personal and professional monetary goals. So, if your PhD can’t help you, what can? Practice, practice, practice.     But how can you gain experience in a way that doesn’t leave you broke? Well in today’s episode, Robert and I discuss how owning a franchise is a great way to start gaining experience, how to adapt to run that franchise, and which ones to go after when you can’t go after McDonald’s.     Timestamps     (05:58-9:49) Running a franchise location teaches you the ins and outs of owning a business.       (10:38-19:32) Prioritize your financial statement—and a financial team!       (20:08-22:17) A PhD doesn’t make you a smart businessman. So, what does?     (22:33-27:25) How to learn smart business practices every day.       (27:27-29:47) The sooner you start, the smarter you’ll become.     (29:47-38:53) Be a student first, an entrepreneur second.       Know Your Business     One of key aspects Robert stresses is that you need to have flexible thinking when franchising. When his father rented the cheapest space he could find for a financially solid ice cream franchise, he managed to kill the business before it could start. Robert points out that his father failed to realize that he wasn’t entering an ice-cream selling business, but rather a real estate one. He highlights a great point: when you are franchising, you must let go of your preconceived ideas of that business and accept it for what it really is. As with my experience with salon studios in Orange County, I needed to understand that the salon wasn’t about hair-cutting: it was about property management. Sometimes a business presents itself as X, when in reality its Y. As Robert and I discuss in today’s episode, your job as an entrepreneur is to understand what that Y is. Being able to adjust your mindset when presented with new information is what makes many franchise owners so successful.         Show Me your Books     As Robert states in this episode, “Every time I talk to a small business owner, I say, ‘Who does your books?’” Robert reiterates several times the importance of financial statements and I couldn’t agree more. An entrepreneur cannot be a successful one without the proper financial team—accountants, bankers, and attorneys. You can’t excel in business if you or your team lack financial literacy—after all, it’s about the financials. Your untrained husband or aunt who keeps the books might be cheap in the short term, but your business will suffer in the long term.     Student first, Entrepreneur second     Robert firmly believes in education—through experience, not through school. A degree is worthless if you have no idea how to function as a business owner in the real world. To learn, you need real world experience. Entering the franchising world is a great way to learn, and you must learn every day. The soon you start, the smarter you will become. The more intelligent your business mind becomes, the more money you will make. If you just want money and not the skillset to amass it, Robert suggests marrying someone rich. As he says, “It’s the training—not the money—that makes you rich.”  Connect With Robert Website Facebook LinkedIn Connect With Erik Facebook LinkedIn Medium Franchise Secrets Website

Robert Glazer is the bestselling author of Elevate: Push Beyond Your Limits and Unlock Success in Yourself and Others. He is also the CEO of Acceleration Partners, a 13 year old company that manages affiliate and partner marketing programs for a lot of well known brands such as Adidas, LinkedIn, Target, Instacart, and Hotwire.  Robert has around 260,000 LinkedIn newsletter subscribers, he has a 100% approval rating as a CEO on Glassdoor, he is ranked #2 on Glassdoor's list of Top CEO of Small & Medium Companies in the US, his company has a 4.9 out of 5 star rating as a place to work, and 99% of employees would recommend the company to a friend. He frequently contributes to Forbes, Inc. Magazine, Entrepreneur Magazine and Thrive Global and he is the host of the popular Elevate Podcast.    The team of 170 people at Acceleration Partners is 100% remote, and they have been since day one. So Robert knows the ins and outs of successfully leading a team that he doesn’t see in person every day. This is something that a lot of CEOs are having to learn on the fly now, as a large portion of organizations are moving to virtual during the pandemic.  How to create a culture for a remote workforce Robert shares that the key to having a successful remote team is by starting with the core values of the organization. Once you know your core values you can intentionally attract and hire the right people. Contrary to what happens in most organizations, Robert and his team understand that not every person will feel like the company is right for them.   A lot of organizations try to be the best place to work for everyone. But just as not everyone will like the same food, or the same music--not everyone is going to be a good fit for your company, and that is okay. As organizations we need to learn to embrace that fact. We need to be open and honest with potential hires about what it is really like to work inside the organization. It is not effective to sugar coat what their experience might be.  Robert says staying consistent in your core values is very important for building that culture. Inside of Acceleration Partners they reward and punish based on the company values, which are Own It, Embrace Relationships, and Excel & Improve. Those are the values that they consistently talk about and support. There is no question about what the company stands for and what they look for in their employees.  For people who feel that it is a good fit, the company has a lot of tools and resources that they utilize to help everyone feel connected. Employees use Slack to communicate, they have frequent video calls, they have regional in person meetups, and they have a company wide in person AP Summit at the end of each year.  But ultimately it is the people who create the culture. So having those core values set up from the beginning and using those for attracting and hiring is critical.  Four ways to elevate yourself In his book, Robert lays out four elements that go into bettering yourself. They are: Spiritual-- this is not religious, it is about knowing who you are and what you stand for. What do you want the most and what are the standards you live by each day. You need to know where you are going.  Intellectual-- This is how you get to where you are going. You need to have long term and short term goals. You have to establish routines and healthy habits.  Physical--If you don’t take care of yourself physically you will be too tired and unfocused to get things done. Eat healthy, exercise, take care of your body.  Emotional-- This is how you react to challenging situations and it affects the quality of your relationships  All of the individual elements impact each other. If you don’t take care of yourself physically you feel tired and sick. If you feel sick and tired you are more likely to be impatient with people around you, you can’t focus on your goals, you don’t stick to morning routines, etc...You have to have all of these elements balanced in order to effectively elevate yourself.  Robert has used these four elements to build the training for employees inside his company. He says, “We've always believed in investing in people holistically, like what are the things that we can train them on-- about health productivity, time management, leadership-- where they get better at work, but they also get better outside of work? They're better parents, they're better spouses, they're better children, brothers and sisters. Now is sort of the real breakthrough, what we’re seeing is 80% of our people, in leadership, have really grown up from within. We were able to get our people to keep growing with us because we were investing and building their capacity. So a lot of our training actually even revolves around this as part of that thing I mentioned before I take a bunch of leaders off and I work with them on their personal core values, I don't think you can be a good leader if you aren't clear what you value and you can communicate that, f you don't know how to set goals, if you don't know all these other things like these affect your performance overall.” How leaders can encourage others to build these capacities for themselves Leaders need to support their team holistically. As Robert shared, when employees are happy, healthy, engaged, and thriving outside of work they are going to show up to work ready to go.   Encourage employees to start book clubs or workout challenges. Provide access to learning platforms. Offer training on how to set goals or create healthy habits. Be sure to lead by example and work on these four elements in your own life as well.

Brought to you by Virtual Not Distant, where we help managers and teams transition to an office-optional approach. For full show notes please see https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/podcasts/learning-and-sharing   What’s Going On  This topical segment was recorded on April 6th 2020 Maya experienced a meeting that was ‘Zoom-bombed’ - one of those new words 2020 will add to the lexicon. This phenomenon has attracted a lot of media coverage, and Zoom has taken steps to secure their own networks - so make sure you’re running the most up to date version of the app. A good example of why transitioning shouldn’t, in normal circumstances, happen without learning and planning… And Zoom is not the only meeting app out there! Google has rolled out free access to advanced Hangouts Meet video-conferencing capabilities to all G Suite customers globally, and we found this list of hundreds of other possibilities to choose from as well, with different properties and integrations for different industries. Among the plethora of remote work content, don’t overlook these fine words by Prof Dr. Emerita Gloria Ramsbottom-Lemieux. Surreality meets satire - but we need humour wherever we can find it these days. Pilar heard about a new co-working space which gives people black beads you can wear, if you want to signify you don’t want to be disturbed. A way to physically manifest an attention status in a visible way… A Slack emoji come to life?  Interesting how these shared signals and vocabulary emerge.  Research from HBR’s Idea Watch suggests that people would rather have their job taken by a robot than another human - maybe because we couldn’t be expected tocompete? But we’d rather work alongside a human replacement for any of our co-workers, if they get laid off. An article in The StartUp on Medium caught Maya’s eye, The Five Levels of Remote Work — and why you're probably at Level 2 - an insightful look at how to get beyond the meetings and chat and replication of the office, to an asynchronous nirvana. A good aspiratiomn for many teams who can work in this way and well worth a read. Remote Work Tree Rowena Hennigan and Robert Kropp in Spain have compiled Remote Work Tree:  As Robert explained, they wanted to ease the transition by bringing together the best events and resources to help people new to remote working and leadership. They’ve tried to predict a learning path and what users might need, to step through the rich resources they have curated, put together at top speed - to help you avoid content overload.

The COVID-19 pandemic has gotten many people thinking about their immune system, and how well equipped their body is for fighting pathogens. The body's immune system, of course, is the complex integration of multiple body systems (circulatory, lymphatic, integumentary, etc.) which collectively fight and protect against foreign antigens and pathogens in our bodies. In today's episode, Robert Santana (PhD, dietitian, and Starting Strength Coach) returns to the podcast to discuss ways that you can build a more robust immune system.   As Coach D and Trent have mentioned numerous times on the podcast, training and genetics influence ALL of the body's processes, and the immune system is no exception. Some people have more robust immune systems than others due to their genetics, but even those with suboptimal genetics can optimize the expression of their genes through physical training. Nutrition and lifestyle also play a crucial role in fostering a healthy immune system.   It's common sense, but a diet rich in whole foods helps build a strong immune system. As Robert explains, whole foods -- particularly fruits, vegetables, and grass-fed beef or wild-caught fish -- contain anti-oxidative micronutrients which keep inflammation at bay. The typical American diet, on the other hand, which is full of processed, pro-inflammatory foods, creates a drag on the immune system, leaving it less able to fight off foreign bugs... like COVID-19.   Eating a serving of fruit or vegetables with every meal (3-5 times per day) will ensure you have adequate vitamins and minerals and maintain healthy balances of pro- and anti-oxidative nutrients. Healthy fats are important, too, as the hydrogenated oils used in many processed foods have an abundance of pro-inflammatory Omega 6 fatty acids. Highly quality meats, fish, and nuts or seeds are high in Omega 3 fatty acids, on the other hand, so eating a lot of these foods ensures a healthy Omega 3 to 6 ratio.   Lifestyle is another important factor. Getting enough sleep and avoiding psychological stressors helps manage cortisol levels, which in turn influence inflammation in the body. Of course, in these times of great societal disruption it's difficult NOT to be stressed, but doing what you can to eliminate unnecessary stressors -- excessive use of cell phones and digital media, social media consumption, etc -- can help.   If you need help dialing in your nutrition, you can consult Robert via his website Weights and Plates.

As Robert prepares to sell his BMPCC4k he goes over some of the pitfalls of selling on ebay and ways to avoid being taken by a scam. Protect yourself and beware of anything that doesn't seems to be good to be true.

The success of Robert's business can be attributed to his leadership style and the competence of his team. The fact that he is leading them on, instead of simply managing them is what made the difference.   For Robert, management is more about monitoring the small details, so that the team can continue to function, while leadership is about moving things forward. Managers make sure that the micro-factors that will ensure that things will go the way they should be will happen. He believes that he isn't a good manager because he is not detail-oriented enough to check on the smaller things. And I agree because Robert is better as a leader. Now that he is in a leadership position, Robert has more time dedicated to helping the business grow, to help him grow as a leader—all for the sake of growing the company. His newest sales manager, Ron has been working with him for over four years. He is a millennial, and to me, this is very interesting because having them choose to stay is not an easy thing to do. Rob says one of the things that he thinks makes them choose to stay is the chemistry that the team, as a whole has. He mentions that even just one person that has a negative perspective within the company can ruin everything, and so making sure that everyone is happy with their work is crucial. He also talks about himself being a boss that is more of a friend rather than an authoritative figure    Robert further mentions how important prayers are to his work. He always prays for all of his team. To him, prayer is very important. He prays even during the time when he decides to get a new hire. The business he leads is small, so Robert limits hiring since it would mean more funding. And besides, he only hires when the need arises, which doesn't happen often. In fact, his business doesn't have a concrete hiring process yet. The whole thing is composed of just two interviews. One with the sales manager and another with him. Interestingly enough, they only source applicants through Facebook, and they've been pretty successful in getting good hires from there. That being said, he does admit that his process isn't exactly a good one. Rather it needs a lot of improvement because Robert has recently witnessed what happens when he makes a wrong decision in hiring a person.  There was one employee that was very selfish and self-centered. He was someone that didn't have any empathy, and it felt like his vision was different from the company's. As Robert mentioned, these were what he considered as red flags when hiring. However, sometimes, he still needs to hire them due to a few special conditions.   In my opinion, having a good HR manager is a big thing and I can say that it really helped better my company as well. It helped clarify things such as the probationary period, a few other policies, and many more. In SEO Hacker, we have a few of our own unique policies. Even probationary employees have government benefits, and the longer they stay, the more benefits they'll be able to unlock. This is the advantage of having a primarily millennial team, the whole system is dynamic, and we go with what we think works for us. Another thing that makes working with and leading a team is that you can easily provide them with wisdom to grow on their own. Support the show (https://tribe.leadershipstack.com/)

Good old Robert Downey Jr. is back for a second time, and his career has gone quite well since his last appearance, on episode 5 of Off Camera. It is now our 200th episode, and Robert is here to remind us that great conversations should be unconventional, surprising, and sometimes just downright weird. Check, check, and check.Since the last time he was here, Robert’s Iron Man legend has grown exponentially—thanks to the massive success of Marvel’s Avengers franchise and the recent release of the final installment, Avengers: Endgame.  But if we rewind the tape, Robert’s journey on the project, like director Jon Favreau’s, started at a low point. “We were two people who had a film we were passionate about come out on the same weekend and bomb. His was Zathura, and mine was Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.” Their mutual comeuppance led to a creative bond, a big brother relationship. As Robert explains, “If that kind of synergy happens when you’re doing a movie, it’s going to be great. End of story.”Finding people who encourage and legitimize his creativity has been a theme for Robert, who despite moments of personal turmoil, possesses a deep-seated work ethic. Growing up, he was “Bob Downey’s kid,” the son of a groundbreaking, counterculture filmmaker, whose view of the industry was the following: “Anybody can act. Few can direct, and nobody can write.” Talk about humble beginnings.Robert joins Off Camera to talk about quitting (not getting fired from) Saturday Night Live after a year, why he thought (and still thinks) he could write a better script than William Goldman, and the great life advice he got from Figueroa Slim in jail.

As Robert and I enter our 26th year of marriage, I am sure there is more to learn about improving our relationship. Regardless of how wonderful our relationship is, we can always ask, “How can we improve?” Author, Don Miguel Ruiz Jr, is a master of Toltec transformation and a friend of this classroom. Don Miguel is back to inspire us as we discuss commitment, freedom, awareness, healing, joy, communication, release, and learn “The Seven Secrets to Healthy, Happy, Relationships.”

Robert Farrington wants you to think before you click the button and accept your student loans. Getting an education is an investment and you should spend some time thinking about what you're investing in and what kind of return your investment will provide. For example, you may not even need a degree at all to work somewhere you like and that pays well. You may need a degree to get promotions and more responsibility but that might not be until later and who knows, your employer might even help pay for your schooling. We have been brainwashed over the years that to get a “good” job you have to spend a lot of money on school, and then eat ramen noodles while living in a tiny apartment and work 12 hour days to repay your loans. After the interview with Robert I realized that some part of me is still brainwashed, and it actually scared me a little. Robert worked at Target for over 16 years. He mentioned this right at the beginning of the interview and I totally didn't hear him say that he only stopped working there 2 years ago. So I kept asking him questions like “So what was your next job” not fully comprehending that he was always at Target until he decided he was making enough from his side hustles and he wanted to spend more time with his family. I realized that there's this part of me that still finds it hard to believe that someone would work in retail for that long and it's scary to think that I have these notions in my brain somewhere, when I don't actively believe this is true. But on auto-pilot, the notion that guided me to my next questions were that he must have got a better job. No one works at Target for 16 years. It really sucks but it seems I've been brainwashed to think that this is not a good job, without even knowing what it is that Robert even did for 16 years. Of course there are people who spend their whole lives in retail and are very happy. Robert actually ended up with a lot of responsibility, managing several hundred employees and millions in sales. But he shouldn't be any less valuable to me as a human being if he simply pushed carts and stocked shelves for 16 years instead. Especially when on the side he was building a web empire that now has millions of visitors per month. Even more ironic is that I've been driving for Uber since last September. And I'm sure there are people that think it's odd that someone with a university degree and 15 years working in accounting and finance would be an Uber driver. But I actually really like it and it fits with my flexible schedule. I decided that even though it makes me seem like a classist jerk, I needed to talk about this. Maybe you do this too and you don't even realize it. Talking about it openly is the only way to shake off these archaic notions about what is good or bad, what is the right path and all the other societal norms that seem to only cause us to spend money we don't have and take jobs we don't want. So as Robert suggests, before we just press a button and fund our future with debt, we need to spend more time thinking about what it is we want. Are you going to be able to pay back this debt? What kind of job will you get after you graduate? If you're going to take on tens of thousands in debt, shouldn't you at least have a general answer to these questions? Why is the default: get the loan and figure it out later. Personally I think we have it all backwards. We should try working in jobs in our areas of interest or curiosity, make some money, and then take whatever training or schooling is necessary to move forward in that area of work, if we enjoy it. Why is a 4 year degree the thing that everyone cares about? Logically it doesn't make sense. Most people hire someone who works well with others and then train them how to do the job. We're focusing on the wrong things and it's creating a society that is trapped by huge amounts of debt. As Robert wrote in a recent post on his site The College Investor, student loans should be your last option. If you do decide that you want to go to school before you have enough money to pay for it, there are so many options to explore before going straight to student loans. If you or someone in your family is in the process of deciding how to pay for school, I fully recommend going to thecollegeinvestor.com and reading everything. Robert joined me from his home in Southern California to share his personal finance story.

This is a segment of episode #195 of Last Born In The Wilderness “Mind Control: Psychedelics, Conspiracy, & Truth In The Post-Truth Era w/ Robert Forte.” Listen to the full episode: http://bit.ly/LBWforte2 Read the 1956 Life Magazine photo essay by R. Gordon Wasson: http://bit.ly/2Hjr2y9 In this segment of my discussion with psychedelic researcher Robert Forte, I ask Robert to explore the early days of psychedelic interest in American society, initially generated in large part by the release of the 1956 Life Magazine photo essay by R. Gordon Wasson (J.P. Morgan Vice President of Public Relations) — a landmark piece that was the first to expose the American public to the use and effects of psilocybin mushrooms. As Robert explains, the C.I.A. funded this venture (http://bit.ly/2VXcr4J), and was largely behind, along with media mogul Henry Luce, the branding of the psychedelic experience for Western audiences. Why would this be the case? 

In the episode, we descend down this rabbit hole of inquiry we discuss the absolutely perplexing history of the popularization (and demonization) of psychedelic use in the modern era, including the overwhelming interest by Western elites to use these substances for mind control and social engineering purposes, as demonstrated in the MK-ULTRA project by the C.I.A., among other examples. Toward the end of our discussion, Robert and I get into some rather hairy topics relating to “conspiracy theory” in the “post-truth era,” as defined by the blurring of lines between what is verifiably true and what is difficult to make sense of. While Robert and I may not come to agreement on these difficult subjects, we both absolutely recognize the necessity of questioning officially sanctioned narratives of events as propagated by the corporate-and-state managed press. Robert Forte is a scholar and researcher of psychedelic drugs. He first studied with Frank Barron, who started the Psilocybin Project at Harvard with Timothy Leary in 1963. Robert is the former director of the Albert Hofmann Foundation, and currently is adjunct faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). James Fadiman, psychedelic researcher and writer, has described Robert as “a major but not well-known hero of the psychedelic movement.” WEBSITE: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness DONATE: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast DROP ME A LINE: (208) 918-2837 EVERYTHING ELSE: https://linktr.ee/patterns.of.behavior

The Employer Blueprint Podcast is proud to present the Principal of Kandell Consulting, Speaker, and Author of unHIDDEN: A Book for Men & Those Confused by Them, Robert Kandell. Robert in an interpersonal communication expert who’s “mission has been to help people find themselves and use their internal power to live their best lives.” ~ quoted from Robert’s LinkedIN profile because it was well stated. As Robert explains in this episode of the Employer Blueprint Podcast, he was able to start a venture from an idea on a napkin and build it to an 8 figure business. Before that, Robert was a rising star in the corporate world as a 6 figure earner in his late twenties, and thought he had it all figured out, until things hit a wall. As Robert explains, he was overweight, unhappy, over stressed, and disconnected from his wife. This was when Robert decided to make a change and started focusing on personal development. Through this focus on personal development, Robert met a woman named Nicole and they became immediate friends. Together they started an organization for others to focus on their own personal development called One Taste. As Robert explains in the podcast, they were able to take the idea from a paper napkin sketch to a world wide 8 figure business. In this ten year adventure, Robert and Nicole were able to open up satellite offices in London, France, and all across the United States. In creating something so great, Robert found it to be impacting his health, so in 2014, Robert sold his shares and moved to Venice Beach California to start his own consulting firm. At Kandell Consulting, Robert is able to focus on what he loves the most, which is sharing his experience and knowledge with others to help them thrive in business.

Welcome to the beginning of our new in-depth series on the work of Robert Greene, one of the most important and successful authors to explore what makes us human... and how we can all learn to do it better. Andrea describes Robert's new book, The Laws of Human Nature, as 'the distillation of how to be a human being... and not to let it get to you'. The book and this podcast series are the ultimate guide to fulfilling the eternal challenge to 'Know Thyself'. It's the handbook for learning to 'see the Matrix' and reshape the source code. We've all been born human, but we never got the instruction manual. Robert Greene defines 'human nature' essentially as the emotions and evolutionarily-developed instincts which continue to control us, largely without our conscious minds ever knowing it. This approach is what makes The Laws of Human Natureso different – and so much richer – than The 48 Laws of Power. Both volumes begin with the pointed assertion that we go through life often at the mercy of other people: the manipulative boss, the cheating spouse, or the two-faced friends. Unless we learn to read between the lines and not take everything and everyone at face value, we'll be victims of power games all our lives. But this book immediately flips the script and emphasises that we also have to work on ourselves. If the Laws of Power got a bad rep for allegedly making you a Machiavellian manipulator, this book forces you to confront your darkest sides with shocking and often painful honesty. We're all on the spectrum of narcissism; we all have a shadow side; we all have negative patterns that we fall into time and time again. Don't you want to escape those patterns and start rewriting the code of the Matrix you're currently trapped inside? As Robert says, if you ignore the laws – if you ignore your human nature – you're merely dooming yourself to a life spent repeating the same negative and destructive patterns. And if you try to hide from your own shadow, you become a virus in your own operating system, constantly in denial about your true nature. This series will also mark the end of your attempts to be 'authentic'. The cult of authenticity has been growing for some time in today's culture, but it's completely misleading: you're not only one thing, and you're not going to get far in life or make many friends if you're unable to adapt your behaviour to different contexts. Finding your 'identity' is one thing; believing that you then need to wrap it up in a neat bow and shove it down people's throats is something else... That's not what The Laws of Human Natureis about. As we continue Voices in the Dark's mission of Learning How To Human, this series promises to help you become a more intuitive, empathetic person, whom others will want to be around. This is about recognising your darkness and becoming an integrated, actualised human being. As Robert puts it, you are about to begin an apprenticeship in human nature. So it's time to don your oxygen mask before helping others... The only downside is that this oxygen mask is filled with the darkest parts of your own shadow! Strap in – things are about to get real... Also Including: Your shadow side, and how to find it Cat psychology as the key to our own neurology Who are you without other people? The difference between manners and etiquette – and why it matters If J.K. Rowling wrote a self-help book Are Autistic people living their own shadow? Get In Touch!

This is the Albuquerque Business Podcast with your host Jason Rigby Each week we interview leading local business leaders to inspire the vision and the spirit that is in every entrepreneur. Discussing strengths, weakness, strategies, systems and the problems we can all solve together to fulfill a shared vision of a new future for Albuquerque.    Our Guest Robert Smith is a father, husband, entertainer and speaker. He started his entertainment career as a magician in 1997 and went on to have some of America's largest companies and events as clients including Walt Disney World and Sea World. In 2004, Robert made his first fair appearance at the Nevada State Fair. He'd spend the next 7 years struggling to find long term success with his magic show in the fair market. In 2011, recognizing the fair industry was saturated with magicians, Robert knew he needed to make a change or he would continue to struggle.  In May of 2011, a friend suggested Robert build a fortune machine, like the one in the Tom Hanks movie, "Big." Hesitant at first, Robert set out to design what would come to be known as Conjurer Fortune Machine. The act featured Robert portraying the mechanical fortune teller and went on to be booked into America's largest fairs including the Los Angeles County Fair, Ohio State Fair, Arizona State Fair and OC Fair in Costa Mesa, California. SOCIAL MEDIA 434 Over the course of his career, from 2004-2016, Robert sat back and learned as much as he could about the fair industry's marketing tactics and approaches. During that time, the world began to transition in the largest communication shift humanity has ever known, smartphones and the internet at scale. Robert quickly noticed that many fairs and brands were spending hundreds of thousands of dollars marketing like it was still 2003. Or worse, 1993. Billboards, pop-up banner ads, print, and traditional 30-second ads on radio and television. The problem? Moving forward in a modern digital world and beyond, those mediums are ridiculously over-priced. In February of 2017, Robert started sharing marketing information with fairs and outdoor event planners. As Robert began to expand his personal brand into the realm of digital marketing, there was immediate push back from traditional marketers. Robert was told "everyone is laughing at you behind your back." Unaffected, Robert continued to sculpt his personal brand and message. Robert knew the name for his presentation needed to reflect the content. This would not be the 101 level information many others share. It needed to go beyond the 101 level tactics and get into a real understanding of "why," digital marketing works in a tech driven world. With that, SOCIAL MEDIA 434 was born. SOCIAL MEDIA 434 is an advanced level session on digital marketing in the modern world. It's purpose, to help your group move beyond the, "what and how," and understand the, "why," of today's digital marketing.

The actor Josh Peck recently had Robert Greene on his podcast to discuss the book, The Laws of Human Nature. It’s a fascinating interview, but one of the most revealing parts is when Josh asks Robert about how Robert squares his interest in Stoicism with the rather ruthless and Machiavellian messages of his books. As Robert explains, we need to understand how the world works, especially if we intend to stick to a path of virtue. “Marcus Aurelius had a quote, I can't say it exactly, but he says, when a boxer gets in the ring with another boxer and he gets punched, he doesn't complain and go, ‘god dammit, you hit me. I don't deserve to be hit.’ He accepts that. That's the game of life. Well, we should see that in life in general: when people hit us, that's just who they are. People are who they are. We shouldn't judge them. We should just accept them like we accept a rock or a stone or that boxer. That's what people are like, that's what we’re going to get. And the Stoic attitude of accepting the world as it is and working with how things are permeates the 48 Laws Of Power. It’s very much like Marcus Aurelius—advocating that you feel a level of detachment. In fact, I believe I use that quote from him. So it's not far off from Stoicism. But the latest book is more in that Stoic spirit than the 48 Laws. It's more about accepting that this is nature. The Stoics have a word, logos. This is the way that the universe is, this is what permeates the laws that govern all behavior. And so I'm very much in that spirit of kind of looking at people with some distance, but all my books are approaching life with a little bit of detachment because I feel like that's what will make you happier and also more successful in general.”What Robert is really saying is that although each of us should commit to being good and honest and fair, it’s naive to assume that everyone else has made a similar promise to themselves. In fact, we know from the opening of Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations that most people are greedy and selfish and rude and short-sighted. It’s essential that we understand these forces and the effects they have on the world. Not only to prepare for them and defend ourselves against them, but to remember that when we have important work to do or changes we are trying to bring about in the world, these same forces will be there as a kind of headwind. We can’t take this personally. We can’t let it upset or discourage us. We’ll need to know how to slip past this resistance, how to use its momentum against itself, how to turn that negative energy around and convince those small-minded people to side with us, against their immediate impulses. That’s what a true amoral study of history helps us do. Virtue may be the highest good to the Stoics, but not everyone else agrees. In fact, the people that don’t outnumber the people who do. And if we don’t understand how power and persuasion work, they will win. Today and forever.

Most of us don’t think of ourselves as irrational. We don’t think we’re reactive creatures. We presume that we’re in control of our emotions, not the other way around. Other people are irrational of course, but what we feel is what reality is. Robert Greene’s latest book The Laws Of Human Nature begins from the premise that humans, by the way we’re wired, are irrational beings. The part of our brain that processes reason, cognition, and thought is separate from the part that processes emotion. He says that while we think we’re naturally rational, we’re not. We become rational. It’s an effort.As Robert said in his interview with us about the book,We descended from chimpanzees. It’s the fact that we tend to react to what’s immediately in front of our face, like a cow or a dog or anything. We bark and that’s who we are. And we tend to always want things to be easier to take the path of least resistance. We all have that lower part of our nature and it’s a lot stronger, but at the same time, there’s a higher self that we’re straining to become. And maybe I’m being optimistic, but I’m saying that everybody has that desire to reach the higher self. There is a strong element of Stoicism in this. Although Marcus and Epictetus and Seneca spoke of living in accordance with nature, they knew how unnaturally this came to most people. They knew how much work it was to get to that higher self, to transcend our baser instincts and emotions. Epictetus said we must put every impression to the test, to say to it, “hold on a moment, let me see who you are and what you represent.” To stop and put it to the test takes an effort. Socrates, who the Stoics considered as the rational ideal, said one must always begin from the premise of ignorance because what you presume to know is often quite wrong. To presume you know is acting from emotion, not reason. To presume that what you feel like doing in the moment is obviously the right thing, is taking the easy way out, it’s taking the path of least resistance, it’s leaping over the space between stimulus and response. The key then is to work towards that higher self, to become rational. Through journaling. Through discussion. Through challenges and courses and other exercises. Through reading books like Robert’s and other books on psychology and philosophy that help you understand what’s really going on inside your brain. Through taking the time to put every impression and impulse to the test—to not let that monkey part of the self be in control.It’s hard work, but it’s worth it.

Key Takeaways: Customer data is your biggest asset. The GDPR doesn’t mean we should shy away from data collection — the opposite! Lean into it, treat data with care, and prove that you’ll use their information to serve them. Think of your content as a product. View everything as a means for creating customer experiences. Content establishes trust early in the buying process. It’s often what convinces customers that our product is the best answer to their needs. Approach content with the same level of strategy and purpose as a physical product. Don’t let technology drive your strategy. Ignore the temptation to grab the quick-fix tech. Dig in, get strategic and creative. Put your customer at the center and then use technology to execute on your plan. As Robert put it, “technology is like a wheelbarrow. It helps us do the job. You wouldn’t make a wheelbarrow your strategy, would you!?” Full Shownotes: https://www.emarsys.com/en/resources/podcasts/tech-debt-robert-rose

How To Get Paid Twice To Solve The Same Problem On a tour of South America, Robert Olivier was rattled by the level of agricultural operations demolishing the rainforests around him. He was struck by the feeling that he had to change the larger narrative of the farming industry. GrubTubs was created to initiate change in the toxic landscape of the corporate farming industry. “You don’t have to slash and burn the rainforests,” Olivier said. “You can integrate our cities and farms. And that is the key to a sustainable biological community. We take food waste from restaurants and use it to create grubs to feed to chickens, pigs, and rabbits instead of importing organic soy from other countries.” As Robert found his footing in formulating and distributing the perfect “tub” for restaurants to seal in food waste, he received unanticipated, yet key advice from the logistical juggernaut, UPS. He was advised to plan everything out with pen and paper, rather than software, until his product and procedure fully formed. From that point forward, bolstered by funding from the WeWork Creator Award and MassChallenge, Robert was able start building his team and focus on scaling GrubTubs to meet Austin’s growing need. In this episode of Voices of Impact, Robert talks about solving Austin’s $5 billion food waste problem. We discuss pivoting out of an early idea, avoiding software paralysis, and getting paid twice to solve the same problem. Robert also shares that the Austin-area is losing 9 acres of farmland per day to developers, and other not-so-known facts that we need to know urgently.

Individual pursuits limit your success. Team pursuits allow you to achieve larger goals. As Robert always says, business is a team sport. In this episode, find out how to go from small potential to big potential.   GUEST: Shawn Achor. Twitter: @shawnachor Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When the hip-hop phenomenon 50 Cent asked to meet Robert Greene after reading his phenomenal bestseller, The 48 Laws of Power, it was only a matter of time before the two collaborated on a project. They immediately found similarities that transcended background and ethnicity – not least, the ability to truly see and analyse the power games that people constantly play and the multifarious ways they manipulate others. 50 Cent came from the violent streets of Southside Queens; he never knew his father and his mother was murdered when he was eight. He rapidly learnt to depend only on himself, and rose from small-time hustling to become a worldwide branding machine with a portfolio ranging from precious metals to platinum albums; clothing lines to videogames; boxing promotions to young adult novels. As Robert puts it, Fifty is the ‘hip-hop Napoleon Bonaparte’. What distinguishes him from everyone else is the core of The 50th Law, and which, as we explore, is also the fullest realisation of Robert’s Laws of Power in action. The 50th Law is all about fearlessness: how to cultivate it, how to embody it, and how to live a life neither afraid, nor merely being brave in spite of some fear. No, the goal is to transcend the need for bravery by becoming fearless in all things. Historical and contemporary examples combine to illustrate deep and vital insights into social psychology and human nature. In this first episode, we dive need into why people are so scared of being themselves and spend so much of their time trying to become someone else… and the price they pay for doing so. We tackle the toxic effects of rolling TV news and obsessing over social media; which vested interests and old business models are ripe for disruption and destruction; and we elucidate the crucial difference between cooperation and outright relying on others. Things get personal, too. We talk about the how the fear of feeling embarrassed holds us back from becoming and expressing ourselves; how Dre overcame fear and reset his shame ‘zero point’ wearing only his underwear; and Jon shares a disturbing personal story of when he was assaulted in Russia. This Episode Includes: Diversifying your portfolio to never be beholden to others Identifying and resetting your ‘zero point’ of fear and shame Should you give yourself a News Diet? Choosing an active rather than passive mode to our lives The crucial limitations of a ‘mind over matter’ approach How to train the brain to be ready for the unexpected Avoiding the trap of using weary cynicism to hide from your fears Mentioned in the Episode: The TV show, Entourage – another world of courtly intrigue Tim Ferriss’s lifestyle design phenomenon, The Four-Hour Work Week Our exclusive interview with mindset and muscle coach, the former soldier Jamie Alderton Brené Brown’s book, Daring Greatly, plus check out her TED Talks: One and Two Are we allowed to say ‘Fiddy Cent’? The man himself breaks it down   Be Silly. Be Kind. Be Weird.

One Law to bring them all and in the darkness bind them… Yes, it’s time for the final and most crucial Law of Power: Assume Formlessness. Law 48 is all about how to move beyond mechanical repetition of the individual Laws and become a virtuoso performer who flows effortlessly with the needs of the moment, untroubled by countervailing winds. As Robert drives home, nothing can be relied on except the inevitability of change – if we are rigid and unprepared for it, then we will simply shatter. All of life is a battle between order and chaos, but everything interesting happens in the tension between them. Law 48 puts that tension and those moments under the microscope. This week we explore the deep archetypes of human nature that can be seen everywhere from ancient philosophies to comic superheroes; we explain why empires fall and what truly makes a great leader; and why bureaucrats can be so powerful while seeming to be the antithesis of this Law. We also fantasise about their deaths. There are tools and techniques to guide you into formlessness, and we explore the ways psychedelics can remind us of and re-invigorate flow-states; the crucial difference between powerful formlessness and passive ‘going with the flow’; and we reveal how to defeat someone else who’s assumed formlessness. Dre also decides to unleash his Grand Theory of Art on us (Jon disagrees with it); we fuck up trying to understand music theory; and celebrate those who can tell jokes minutes after terrorist attacks. This episode marks the completion of the first step in a much longer journey of social and self-exploration… Tune in next week as we begin the next, even more powerful stage of our evolution. This Episode Includes: The Jiujitsu of Power Why Sparta – despite all the rippling abs – ultimately fell Using soft power to quietly get what you want How to bring guerrilla warfare into everyday life Surprising benefits of a bad memory Being formless without losing your inner compass Why Art dies Mentioned in the Episode: Robert’s other book, Mastery Our very own The 48 Laws in Practice, available from the publisher and from Amazon Our awesome Bismarck t-shirt, with him literally surfing the current of events The mind-bendingly brilliant Rick and Morty Chris Ryan’s podcast, Tangentially Speaking The podcast phenomenon, S-Town The bitchy classic, Mean Girls Controversial comedian, Frankie Boyle The book and the filmof Fight Club STUFF ABOUT INDIAN MUSIC SCALES ETC Bobby McFerrin Demonstrates the Power of the Pentatonic Scale James Carse's Finite and Infinite Games   Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. Join us as we continue our 48 Laws of Power review, exploring Robert Greene’s provocative and compelling book, in which he lays bare the history, practice, psychology, and philosophies of power that ultimately shape all human relations. Often seen as a handbook for the ‘modern Machiavelli’, we take a closer look, beyond the hyperbole, and discuss how understanding and implementing these Laws can actually enrich your life personally, professionally and spiritually. Jon and Dre aim to get to the heart of each of the Laws, grapple with their sometimes disturbingly amoral nature, and discuss what the Laws mean in everyday life (often revealing their own experiences – good and bad – when they’ve either observed or transgressed them).

Do you know that you can work on your SEO and have a great website and still have zero leads? Today’s guest, Robert Stanley, found his calling in lead generation by accident. Robert initially learned how to generate leads for personal use. His marketing business was born out of referrals from his chiropractor friend whom he also helped with lead generation. He works with lawyers, realtors, gurus, and market leaders. As Robert’s business grew, he also learns that limitations are not about abilities but the mindset.   In today’s episode, Robert talks about the some of the basics of lead generation. He expounded on the important terminologies, used comparisons for better understanding, and enumerates the different programs and software – both paid and free – that you can use to generate leads. Robert also shows the differences, together with the pros and cons, in using the different ad campaigns from the Internet’s big players such as Facebook and Google. “It’s one thing to know how to set up a Facebook account and run an ad; it’s another thing to know the ins and outs and how to set up the technology.” – Robert Stanley   This Week on the Hustle and Flow Chart Podcast: Defining what a “lead” is to a client Scope of work involved in generating leads Challenges with Facebook’s chatbots in lead generation Reasons why Robert’s favorite lead source is Facebook Rationale in utilizing software tools and platforms – for consistency and to save time The best and easiest apps to generate leads How outsourcing is an alternative to setting up your lead generating tools compared to hiring a whole agency The most complicated thing in lead generation and the significance of having a place for all the data Resources Mentioned: Facebook WordStream AdEspresso SemRush Zapier CallRail Predictably Irrational Book by Dan Ariely Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion Book by Robert Cialdini Connect with Robert Stanley: Robert Stanley Website Local Pulse Marketing Website     Subscribe & Review the Hustle & Flow Chart Podcast!     Thanks for tuning in to this week’s episode of the Hustle & Flow Chart Podcast!

This episode was born when Tyler was out in the field recently at an open house.  The home was priced at $105,000 and was a two bedroom / two bath home that would rent for $950 per month.  Real estate agents were parading untrained “investors” around showing them a retail property that clearly will not perform well as a rental at the $105k price point.  The property is priced for an owner occupant.  It became clear to Tyler that these unsuspecting “investors” were unknowingly being lead into a losing situation by inexperienced real estate agents.   First off, knowing what “fair market” rent will be is a critical part of the process.  This takes work….picking up the phone, calling landlords and property managers that rent properties very similar to the one you are thinking about buying.  When doing this, call older ads that by now should already be rented.  This is important to obtain factual information on how much it rented for, versus “asking” rent price.   As in investor, you should have a solid handle on the rental market in the neighborhood your properties are located in.  Comparable properties can only be considered if they are in similar locations, with similar amenities and are in similar condition.  This is the first reason why an experienced property manager is a critical member of your team.   Go / No Go Quick Test Method:   Take the monthly market rent and divide that by 1.5%   $950 Rent Divided by 1.5% = $63,300 which is the maximum acquisition cost we can be at to cashflow appropriately.   In the above example, at $105,000 purchase price let’s figure out how much the property would need to rent for in order to “make sense” as an investment property for the CashFlowGuys.  Here is the math….   $105,000 Purchase Price X 1.5% $1,575 per month is what it should rent for to qualify as a “go” in our quick test method.   Will the property “cashflow” at less than $1,575 per month rent?  The short answer is “it depends”   An investor must consider their “cost of funds” EVEN IF PAYING CASH.     The cash you invest should have a cost of funds figure attached to it because it can and should be out earning you more money...otherwise why have it?   Below is a breakdown of how cost of funds and terms affect your net return using the $105,000 house that rents for $950 per month:   Purchase Type Monthly Cashflow Cash on Cash Return Cash $466.00 5.2% 15 yr Loan 6% & 30% Down $154.00 -5.5% 30 yr Loan 6% & 30% Down $26.00 .9%   As you can see….for us this is a No Go opportunity.   For an investor to be profitable, they MUST factor all their costs….that means everything.   Here is the “short list” Lawn Care Utilities Cleaning and Maintenence Capital Expenditures Insurance Legal and Professional Fees Management Costs Taxes (Property and Income) Flood Insurance Advertising Travel Vacancy Loss   As Robert and Russ aka “The Real Estate Guys” always say “Do the math and the math will tell you what to do”   Want to connect with us on Facebook?

An Interview with Robert Rose   Robert introduces some of the principles taught in his latest book, Experiences: the 7th Era of Marketing, which he co-authored with Carla Johnson.     After briefly summarizing the previous six marketing eras, Robert explains how the next one signifies a profound paradigm shift where customer experience intersects with marketing through the content we produce.     According to Robert, we have moved beyond the age of just describing the value of products and services in marketing and entered an age when we must actually deliver value as a vital part of that marketing before a purchase is considered.     As businesses shift into this new era, Robert has observed that the content marketing strategies of many businesses are still not well-adapted. Content production has, in many cases, been tacked onto the normal duties of professionals in many departments and areas of expertise.     Fear not! As Robert explains, this change is not as hard to adapt to as you may think. He and our hosts discuss great examples of companies that have adapted beautifully, and how they are doing it.     Has your company entered the new era of marketing?
