In today’s show, Chuck talks about the recent Twitter thread about 10x engineers. He goes through each of the points in the tweet and talks about each of them in turn. There are only two points he sort of agrees with, and believes the rest to be absolute garbage. One of the issues with this tweet is that it doesn’t define what a 10x engineer is. Defining a 10x engineer is difficult because it is also impossible to measure a truly average engineer because there are many factors that play into measuring productivity. Chuck turns the discussion to what a 10x engineer is to him and how to find one. A 10x engineer is dependent on the organization that they are a part of, because they are not simply found, they are made. When a 10x engineer is added to a team, the productivity of the entire team increases. Employers have to consider firstly what you need in your team and how a person would fit in. You want to avoid changing the entire culture of your organization. Consider also that a 10x engineer may be hired as a 2x engineer, but it is the employer that turns them into a 10x engineer. Overall, Chuck believes these tweets are asinine because it’s impossible to measure what makes a 10x engineer in the first place, and hiring a person that fits the attributes in the list would be toxic to your company.

Contemporary Christian music is positive, uplifting, and full of songs talking about prayer and purpose. It’s populated by music referencing joy, peace, and God, so there couldn’t possibly be a negative consequence to listening to it…right? Join Rick and Steph as they discuss reinventing the basics of our faith. They’ll start by talking about how the music we listen to, including contemporary Christian music, can positively or negatively impact our relationship with Jesus. Have you joined the Pigs?

How does culture in the business impact the wellbeing and performance of its people? Tristan, founder and CEO of The Physio Co, talks about how he realised the importance of culture and running a values-based business and what they did to turn things around and make impactful changes around culture in their company. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Starting the business and discovering the importance of culture The difference between culture by default and culture by design Using core values as a foundation of a strong culture How team members and clients respond to a better and more effective culture Defining and developing the culture at The Physio Co The meaning of work-life blend Tristan’s thoughts on happiness and wellbeing What people can do to improve the culture of their team Tristan’s 10-year vision Key Takeaways: Just like many other things in a team or business, culture can be systemised. There are some key foundations of a culture that can be put in place. Some important parts of culture is a really compelling core purpose or a WHY, a set of core values, which really are behaviours we expect in this business, and a really clear vision as to where the business is headed. When team members are clear on those parts of a culture, they are empowered to have the freedom to exist within those boundaries but they understand what to expect of them and how they can contribute to the team, to the culture, and to the business. It’s important to realise that a strong culture typically has its own language. Having a work-life blend means being able to have the choice as to when to get work done and when to engage in more personal things. Culture is the sum of your people decisions. Tristan shares that the times they’ve had a great culture in The Physio Co is when they’ve made great people decisions and the times when they’ve been tested and challenged the most is when they may not have made the best people decisions. One of the defining factors of a healthy organisation is a high level of trust. Action Steps: Build the culture in your business by Knowing your core purpose Setting your core values Having a clear vision as to where your business is headed Be the most trustworthy person that you can be. Be a caring person who keeps their word. If you say you can do something, get it done and get it done well. And if you can’t get it done on time, then communicate in advance to let people know that you’ve got a challenge and reset the deadline. And challenge those who aren’t able to keep their own word. Tristan said: “As the team has grown and I’ve grown as an individual, as a leader, as a communicator, I understand how I can get the best results and the best culture possible by embracing the people and the contribution that other people can make.” “I think what we’ve learned is the importance of a really robust, repeatable recruitment process and the importance of saying ‘No’ to the wrong people to join our team because it’s not just about fast growth, it’s about fast growth with the right people joining us.” Thanks for listening!

MILLIONAIRE CHOICES Millionaire choices don’t begin with the choices you make about money; they begin with the choices you make about life. Here’s what I mean. Abundance and wealth creation are the result of the belief that outer circumstances do not control the choices you make in life. If life deals you a bad hand, you can still win the game by playing the cards you have with imagination, desire, and focus. Today’s episode is an interview with Tony Bradshaw, the man who wrote the book, The Millionaire Choice. he wrote it to inspire and equip people to become millionaires, no matter where they are financially right now. Tony walks his talk. He grew up poor in a broken home. His dad was an alcoholic. His neighbors were drug dealers. At the age of four, Tony was in his dad’s car when the police stopped them and arrested his father from drunk driving. You will hear about some other difficult challenges that Tony Bradshaw faced while growing up. Challenges that many people would use as excuses for not achieving success and have a great life. You will also learn about the life changing decision Tony made at the age of twenty-five to be a millionaire by age forty. That’s what it takes. A decision. A choice. A millionaire choice. You can make that choice if you want to. And, you can make it at any age. You’ll get fired up as Tony shares valuable valuable insights about: Financial awakening A Millionaire Plan – move forward, no matter what; never look in the rear view mirror How to get money smart Why you should have multiple income streams How to break bad money habits 4 factors, besides, money, that will help you become a millionaire The 4 Bucket System – your step-by-step action plan to transform your financial life The core of Tony’s system – 10 Keys of the Millionaire Entering the Great Zone BOOKS IN THIS PODCAST (https://www.amazon.com/Good-Great-Some-Companies-Others-ebook/dp/B0058DRUV6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549057044&sr=8-1&keywords=good+to+great) by Jim Collins (Tony’s favorite book) (https://www.amazon.com/Rich-Dads-CASHFLOW-Quadrant-Financial-ebook/dp/B0175P5MZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549057138&sr=8-1&keywords=robert+kiyosaki+books) by Robert Kiyosaki (https://www.amazon.com/Rich-Dad-Poor-Teach-Middle-ebook/dp/B0175P82RA/ref=pd_sim_351_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0175P82RA&pd_rd_r=ced83d10-2669-11e9-bd58-413f05c8b3cb&pd_rd_w=ARYKv&pd_rd_wg=jAHsj&pf_rd_p=90485860-83e9-4fd9-b838-b28a9b7fda30&pf_rd_r=P20V6K2WE8NQDPAGY97C&psc=1&refRID=P20V6K2WE8NQDPAGY97C) by Robert Kiyosaki (https://www.amazon.com/10X-Rule-Difference-Between-Success-ebook/dp/B004X75OES/ref=sr_1_3?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1549057283&sr=1-3&keywords=grant+cardone) by Grant Cardone (https://www.amazon.com/Be-Obsessed-Average-Grant-Cardone-ebook/dp/B016VRFTR4/ref=pd_sim_351_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B016VRFTR4&pd_rd_r=280892ce-266a-11e9-9ef7-8b5dde2c9ca4&pd_rd_w=XZt3r&pd_rd_wg=TnuPh&pf_rd_p=90485860-83e9-4fd9-b838-b28a9b7fda30&pf_rd_r=G3Q4VM22P0JW6VA509J8&psc=1&refRID=G3Q4VM22P0JW6VA509J8) by Grant Cardone TONY’S FAVORITE QUOTE “Good is the enemy of great.” – Jim Collins CONTACT TONY www.TheMillionaireChoice.com (https://www.themillionairechoice.com/) www.TonyBradshaw.com (https://tonybradshaw.com/)
