I've gone into the financial world and found within the financial world and its setup there are things that we can learn. I've gone to the connection world networking world and found there's something we can use there and put them both together for our own better selves, our own personal development. Have a listen. I hope it makes sense.   This is personal development unplugged, with Paul Clough. I want to talk to you about investments. Can you believe that? Investments. Hey friend, how we doing today   In simplicity there is genius.   In simplicity there is genius.   Hey friend, how we doing today? And I want to talk to you about investments. Can you believe that? Investments. And no, it's not an advert.   You see, it's all about capital. Investing your capital, creating your capital.   And we all know, don't we?   We all know that if you invest the right way, you get things like.   Compound interest, don't you? It's interest on interest and interest on interest on interest.   And I think a lot of people.   Get a bit confused by that. And no, I'm not going to explain it because I get confused by it too. I just know it works.   But I was listening to other people.     Social capital is giving service, selfless   Talk about it, about this, you see, because there was a term and I think it's still used, called social capital and what social capital, because it was a buzword and maybe it still is, I don't know.   But social capital was I guess brought.   In around the term networking. Networking in business, especially for entrepreneurs.   But that's BS anyway, because the social capital of an individual didn't matter whether.   You'Re an entrepreneur, if you're working.   Just by yourself, or whether you're just.   Working with other people.   As an employee, you all required social capital. We all do.   And what is social capital?   Well, it's your contacts, your contacts in your career.   This is where it came from, the networking. But obviously there's social contacts as well. And I remember the very, my early days of touching this networking. And it used to be like 1 minute networking, five minute networking.   And it used to just be like hot tables.   You go in there, hand a card over to somebody you did not want to do or give work to other people, you really just wanted work for yourself.   It was so self centered, really was.   There was no social capital at all.   In that.   It was win, not win win. You had to win at all costs, you had to get one up on everything. And that really didn't work because everybody knew it. And you used to get all those cards and used to put them in.   The bin, you really did.   Apart from the OD, one that you thought a guy was nice. And that's where the social capital comes from, because you made contacts. And then it changed. And it's changed. Well, it's changed for some. And I know the people who make it work.   The social capital is giving service, selfless.   Service for others, to create a network of friends. Not necessarily friends, but business friends, business colleagues, people who you could help. And, maybe one day, one day.   They could help you.   But that isn't the reason. The reason is just to get this social network. So you just get to, in times of crisis, I guess that's the real reason for it. You can call upon people just to reciprocate the help that you gave them. So there is a little bit of reciprocation there, I guess. But there is so much more giving than receiving. And it just works. Because what happens is people give back without you asking for the things. Because they feel good about it too. They want to, reciprocate. They want to do things selflessly. And therefore it's called digging the well before you're thirsty. Dig the well before you need it.   The law of reciprocity.     Capital and compound interest and social capital all apply to personal development   And you see, you've got all of that, and you're probably thinking now, you are probably thinking, and quite rightly so, where's he going with this?   What's Cloughie doing now?   And what the hell's this got to.   Do with personal development? Self improvement and,   Being better today than yesterday? All that stuff he's talked about. Where is he going? And that's exactly what I thought. No, sort of. Because I, listening to all this thing.   About capital and compound interest and also social capital, I thought to myself, this.   Really does apply to our personal development.   To being better today than yesterday. Because it got me thinking, how could we direct these thoughts of capital, compound.   Interest with capital that creates in a, compound interest in us, in our personal development? How could it be directed to creating a better me? How could it be directed to me.   Being a better me?   And, when I say me also.   Mean you, because you're my mate.   So us, how could this thing about social capital and, if we.   Could model it, what well would we need to dig to invest in us?   Because that's what it is, isn't it? We all said it's investment. Investment in a career, maybe.   Contacts, connections, compound interest. How could we dig a well that actually created something better in us? Good metaphor, I thought, because it's all about investing in who? Absolutely. Ourselves. But then I thought about it.   It's not investing in ourselves, in big dollops. I love the word dollop today. Not in big dollops, but in small deposits. I don't know which one sounds better after when you talk about that, but investing in small deposits that add up over time. So I suppose you could call them regular small dollops.   And I thought, well, how could we invested ourselves over time in regular small dollops that would then create a capital in us and create compound interest, create a network of learning, maybe. Oh, see, I thought learning small investments every day with obviously an intention, got to have a.   Why?   Why is it important to you to learn? It's no point in just saying, oh, I just want to, learn something because I know people, and I know you do, and I've talked about it before, who know a bit about everything.   They know stuff that will never, ever be used. But I do think sometimes, on the.   Flip side of that, it's good to learn lots of different things as well, to keep your interest going, to keep that muscle going, because like this, if.   I wasn't thinking about capital, compound interest.   And this social capital, I wouldn't have.   Got this into my head about investing.   In ourselves and creating a capital in ourselves. But actually, just sitting down and maybe reading for ten minutes a day could be something difficult. Because if you. If you read something a little bit more difficult than you can normally handle, your brain starts to work, your unconscious mind really starts to get into gear, and that muscle works. And then when you start to learn other stuff, the stuff that you're really interested in, boom.   Yeah, compound interest.   The thing is not too much, I.   Don'T want these big dollops, because if.   You start really pushing the boundaries of.   Everything, we can get into overwhelm. And the thing about it is, I.   Said, you can learn. I know people who know a lot about everything, but do absolutely soddle. I know other people who know very, I can say, know very little, but.   Their scope is quite small, but they know it inside out and they use it.   That's the one I prefer. But then building on that inside out.   Knowing what you know, doing what you do, and, building that knowledge, becoming the mastery or the master of what you know.   So you set, a schedule, as it were.   I'm just going to read something for.   Ten minutes a day. On one day, it'll be something maybe.   A little bit different, but you'll see similarities in it.   And another day I'm going to read.   Something on the thing that's going to.   Really develop me a way of learning, a way of doing something, maybe reading, if you're like a therapist, you'd maybe dive into a different process, understand something. And I think the more you do.   That.   It'S like compound interest, you will.   Suddenly find that you know so much more and you can do so much more.   So that compound interest is really starting to begin without you knowing it. And isn't that the thing about, like, investing in small dollops? You don't really notice it at the time, so it's not really hitting if it's. If it was money hitting your pocket that much. But when you look back and you go, crikey, where did all that come from? Because I heard a story, I don't.   Know the story about this family that.   Didn'T have much money.   And when they got to the end of the week, they had only, a little bit of money left.   Not enough money to buy more food, drink, things like that. So what they would do is they'd go out and buy a lottery ticket with the hope, and I love hope, hope of winning some money.   Don't know whether they ever did, really.   But I thought, what would happen if they just invested in themselves, as it were, by just putting that small amount.   Of money to one side, even if.   They didn't put it into a bank or anything.   Maybe four weeks later, they've got a whole day's meal. And I just don't know why that struck me, because it was more about thinking, well, small bits add up over time.   They do, don't they?     Start small, small dollops and it's regular, you start to build   I mean, you try learning something which is really big in a big dollop, you get overwhelmed.   But if you start small, small dollops, and it's regular, you start to build.   And then you can take on more. So that small dollop, say, a month.   Ago, is completely different to the small.   Dollop you're doing now. The small dollop you're doing now is.   Probably twice as big as when you first started, and it's going to make a difference. See, that's like the compound interest, isn't it? So the 1% you're creating a better you by than the day before, that.   1% is of such a bigger thing, bigger baseline.   And, that's all maths.   But maths can be good.   But I think it all comes down to the intention you have of creating capital in yourself. I think it's really important that we.   Do that, because we also get.   I think the more we do it, and we do it in this nice, evolving way, we also get to enjoy it.   We enjoy that.   It's not so much of a struggle that it's too hard. But it's a little bit of a.   Struggle because it's a little bit different.   But when we look back, we go.   Wow, I enjoyed that. And now look at me now. Now look at m me now look at me now.   Oh, by the way, here's one thought. I did have this dig in.   The well. Thing is, it'll never really be dug, will it?   Because you can always dig a little deeper into something. You can always find a little bit more. And, isn't that exciting? Always something new to learn.   And then when you learn it, creating even more capital is you get to share it. And when you share it, we,   Said you have something, you share it with somebody else, but it's in your mind, it's what you've learned.   You still have it now they have it.   So you're helping other people, they will help you. But the thing is, it's not just sharing.   You get to know that you know it.   You also get to know, if you.   Don'T know it, where you need to invest a bit more.   And because you're doing it for no want of return, you just want to.   Share what you know, provided obviously people want to listen.   But as you share it, because you can also share it, by the way, that you just hold yourself by example.   You don't have to tell everybody. You can be the example of what you've learned, and it'll make a difference then.   So you're making a difference to yourself.   By really honing in your skills, making.   A difference to others, because you're making.   What you've learned available to them, too. And as they take it, on.   You'Re making a difference because you'll never know how far the ripples of this change will go.   The sharing will go.   I never know how far it goes, but I just know it goes really far and wide.   It's like that flapping of a butterfly.   On one side of the world, creating a storm of wonder on the other side. And the thing is, I thought about this. it's a weird thing.   You know, we talk about, do we direct debits?   I don't know what you call them in, the US, we have them, and if we want to pay a regular installment to somebody, we create a direct debit.   And every month that money goes out.   Of your account and into theirs, you're investing into that.   Well, what about habits?   Making a direct debit into your own habits. Again, it's that same thing of scheduling, isn't it?   One at a time. So there's no overwhelm. No overwhelm will ever sneak in.   When you are consistent, and that's what the direct debit is.   It's a consistent of paying in.   And when you're consistent, you are creating.   Good habits in yourself.   And therefore, those dollops don't seem to be, well, they're not something you would put, oh, no, I've got to do this. You go, no, I want to do this because something's going to happen.   Something's going to be really good. And the real win of this, I.   Think, is you are ultimately taking responsibility.   For you, it's our responsibility to be responsible for ourselves. No excuses, then no complaints.   You are at cause because you get to say those words, I get to do this. I'm responsible for my change.   Because you're responsible for your change.   I'm responsible for my change.   And you can say the same thing. And then with a little help, say, from the hypnosis tracks, we've got.   Maybe some past episodes just to spark things in, because sometimes, yeah, we go off track a little bit, and we might want that hypnotrack to bring us back into line. Maybe just set a nice goal, maybe to see things from different perspective, maybe to get creative, maybe to be able to anchor things, set our intentions.   They're all there, by the way.   There's 65 hypnosis tracks.     Paul Clough: Investing in yourself is often overlooked   I've got@paulcluffonline.com podcast, and they're all free, so you can just go down there, guys. I was feeling a little bit, oh, there's 120 minutes.   Boom, that's your investment for the day. And then we look back, we do our review.   It's like scheduling a review, and it's.   Like, really, when you think about investing.   everyone has a. Most people, anyway, have an annual financial review. See how my money has performed. And you look back and say, see.   How I have performed?   Where can I improve?   What have I learned?   And I can even do more of.   Maybe there's a couple of things that.   I really want to get a little bit better at. I didn't realize, realize I could do all of this. Now.   This is my interests.   And it all comes down to one.   Blindingly obvious and usually overlooked investing in yourself.   Because no other person will ever do it for you.   No one.   And if we just keep making a.   Small change, every small change will add.   Up to massive results.   And I want you to feel that.   You know, you can do this. You want to do this. Because I don't know what this part is, other than creating and living the.   Life that you really want. And it's so friggin easy. It's also so friggin easy to forget.   And this is why this is a reminder for me.   Reminder for you, I think, because you.   Know, you know this, but sometimes we just need a little reminder.   Little tap on the head. Just oyoi.   Remember this.   It's only small, but it's not insignificantly small.   It's significantly significant.   Remember, regular small dollops.   Enjoy. I hope you enjoyed that. It was something which is completely different to the normal personal, development stuff we do here. But I just thought it makes a lot of sense, taking something from somewhere else and putting into ourselves and noticing we can learn from all different aspects, which is why, when I say learning, learn from different areas of life, you'll.   Find a similarity somewhere.   Something you can model, something you can use.   So there you, go. Don't get thirsty. Have fun.   And please do share this.   Because as you said, as I said before, as you share, you will grow. It's an investment in yourself just to.   Share what you know and do what you know and know what you do.   Become the master of being.   You have. Have more fun than you can stand.   Okay. Bye bye. You are now leaving the uncloved mind of Paul Clough. It's time to fly on your own. Be brave, my friend.   Personal development unplugged.

On this weeks Sky Fantasy Football Podcast Suj & James assess a weekend where it was difficult to make ground and many suffered investing in Chelsea before West Brom hit them for five. It's also a difficult weekend for captaincy with decisions likely to be split for Sky managers, preference is given for the Fulham and Wolves fixture, why the Man City team will influence decisions on Saturday, it's Bruno v Kane on Sunday but there are alternatives and many will go with Calvert-Lewin on Monday but James has alternative plans. Plus, solutions for owners of the once again injured Michail Antonio and why investing in an Arsenal player player is still nagging away despite Saturday's woeful display against Liverpool. Will James still buy Aubameyang? _____________________________________________ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/planetfpl Web: www.planetfpl.com Twitter: @PlanetFPLPod (James) / @sujanshah (Suj) Facebook: www.facebook.com/PlanetFPL Instagram: @planetfpl You Tube: www.youtube.com/planetfpl

A canal and serious cases against Dobrik and Watson

Chris and Matt discuss James Lindsay's talk at the Speaking Truth to Social Justice conference held at the ostentatious National Liberal Club, in an episode that will disappoint Lindsay fanboys and haters alike. Blindingly hot takes include, "He's a bit hyperbolic" and "Critical Theory is complicated". They discuss some pretty strong metaphors (or are they analogies?) of Critical Social Justice involving monkeys, viruses, and boxes. Most importantly, the duo establish definitively that, despite James' assertions, Jeff Goldblum did NOT die on a toilet in Jurassic Park (which, let's face it, would have ruined the entire movie).

Self confidence, and muffling outside noise and opinions is a common struggle many of us face. Gitty breaks down both the logical root and emotional unpacking of this phenomenon. Sparkle wise, a question about blush application suddenly making concealer look too white reveals a concealer, not blush issue. Gitty explains how to take the bright under-eye trend and make it work for every skin tone.

Dane Selznick has seen it all. Seen every last one of beach volleyball’s many evolutions. He was there when players competed for little more than pride and maybe – maybe – a free dinner. He was there when two men named David Wilk and Craig Masuoka formed a promotional company named Event Concepts and began hauling in the Millers and Cuervos of the world and throwing legitimate prize money into tournaments. He was there when the AVP Tour was founded, in 1984, and when it collapsed, and when it formed again, and when it collapsed once more, to be revived in its current iteration under Donald Sun. He’s seen both the golden era, financially, when 10 players once banked more than $100,000 in prize money alone, and he’s seen the most dominant era, when Kerri Walsh-Jennings and Misty May-Treanor once rattled off 112 straight wins and three consecutive gold medals from 2004-2012. And now he is witness once more to the latest permutation in professional beach volleyball, the upstart event series, p1440, founded by Walsh-Jennings and her husband, Casey, and former college teammate Dave Mays. In March, Selznick, who had been a tournament director for the California Beach Volleyball Association (CBVA), founding the Gene Selznick Invitational, an eponymous nod to his father, was hired as p1440’s Director of Competition and Sport. “About a year ago, Kerri approached me and said ‘Dane I have a project I’d love for you to be a part of,’” Selznick said on SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter. “She gave me a little bit of background, I brought it to the head staff at CBVA, got their opinion to see if it would be a good fit, and here we are. Everything’s moved along pretty quickly.” Blindingly fast may be a more apt description. P1440 has announced dates for four events in its inaugural season, one of which will be an Olympic qualifier in Las Vegas, while the other three are partnered with the FIVB as international exhibitions. They’ve announced a lengthy list of sponsors that includes ROKA (eyewear), Alsa Energy (water), RX (protein bars), Brand X (strength and conditioning programs), AcuSpike (volleyball training), NormaTec (recovery), among a host of others. They’ve formed a developmental training program, replete with an armada of the finest coaches in the world, and a partnership with the CBVA, the pipeline from which many of the top players in the country cut their teeth, and where p1440 is now hosting what’s known as “satellite qualifiers,” allowing players to compete locally, weeks prior to the event itself, for a spot in the main draw. “They looked at our [CBVA] schedule extensively, and they were trying to select those certain events that they felt fit the mold to be a qualifying point-getter for the players,” Selznick said. “There are specific tournaments that we have that award you p1440 points. The qualifying satellites are enticing for the players because it gives them something more than playing in a tournament. Now they’re playing for a main draw spot in tournaments that offer high level competition, a lot more prize money – you’re guaranteed more money just getting into the tournament. I think being an alternative tour to what we’ve got going on, as long as it’s not conflicting, I see no problem with it, because it really gives players a lot more opportunities to make money.” More opportunities has been the theme of the past few months. In 2018, the AVP put on eight open events, one of which was partnered with the FIVB in Huntington Beach, before adding invitationals in Hawai’i and Huntington Beach. The upstart King of the Court series hosted another handful, to go along with upwards of 40 FIVBs of varying levels. And now there’s p1440, adding events at the end of September (San Jose), mid-October (Las Vegas), end of November and early December (San Diego) and mid-December (Huntington Beach), with events on the horizon in Texas, Florida and Los Angeles. “It seems like a pretty exciting time right now for the sport in general,” Tri Bourne said. “It’s cool, I think the sport is gaining a lot of momentum right now. There’s a lot of people like yourself and p1440 and AVP and King of the Court and FIVB and CBVA that are all kind of creating opportunities in their own way. I think it’s great. It seems like the sport is gaining some momentum.” That next opportunity begins Thursday, with the San Jose on-site qualifier, and extends through the weekend, in a domestic event that features the top two teams in the world of each gender – Norwegians Anders Mol and Christian Sorum and Brazilians Carolina Salgado and Maria Antonelli – as well as a host of the best talent in the United States – Sean Rosenthal and Chase Budinger, Jeremy Casebeer and Reid Priddy, Billy Allen and Theo Brunner, Chaim Schalk and Piotr Marciniak, Walsh-Jennings, Nicole Branagh and Lauren Fendrick, Kelley Larsen and Emily Stockman, Caitlin Ledoux and Geena Urango. “It’s just great to have more opportunity,” Selznick said. “Bottom line. Every entity should take care of its athletes. It’s like the Olympic Games, the athletes are No. 1.”

Hello, listeners! Now, before you go and listen to this episode and then DM or email me about the BLINDINGLY obvious thing that I missed, please allow me to reassure you that as I was editing, I realized. The robot's name is Stuttering Bill. Like Bill Denbrough from IT. I can't believe that I didn't catch that right away, but I finally managed it, so there we are. Close that messenger window.These chapters were super entertaining and in many ways, some of King's best attributes as a horror writer are on full display. But. "Here comes the Deus Ex Machina!" Ironically, while Miles and I tend to complain about that very problem throughout these books, the actual act of the writer trying to step in was the concept we had the least problem with. What bothered both of us was that even had King not included that little sideshow, the entire scene would have unfolded the exact same way. The note made absolutely no difference, and yet King pats himself on the back, saying that they're "square" now that he's "saved their lives" even though he did no such thing. But Dandelo was super creepy, I enjoy the tie-back to IT, and the whole thing with Patrick Danville is really sad and sweet at the same time. Plus, I'm glad that Bill The Robot is a good dude with some emotional aspects who was distraught by what was happening to Danville. I can't believe how close we are to the end of this, and I'm really hoping that we start to regain our footing now that we're out of the woods, so to speak. Thanks so much for listening, see you soon!
