Podcast appearances and mentions of bobby axelrod

Switching it up with a throwback from the archives. About a year ago, I had a series of 3 interviews with Denise Shull. She's a certified pro, cut from the same cloth as Wendy from Billions – you know, that HBO show about Bobby Axelrod, the hedge fund big shot. Denise even took a swing at the show's creators, claiming they owed her royalties for using her likeness in Wendy's character. She lost that one. Tough cookie, but sharp as hell.I hesitated about putting this out. It's not your usual investment talk, but maybe it's got something to say about our crazy world. Beyond that, it gets real personal. Last year was a deep dive into hurt for me, going through a separation with my life partner. Yeah, I'm the guy who married his first date. Who does that, right? Anyway, I've had time to think, and one thing missing from public life is laying it all out there. I felt the sharp pain that the chaos life sometimes throws at us. Figured maybe it's better out in the open.Most times, I'm cruising around playing the king-of-St-Barts, but reality is a whole lot more complex. To understand me better, I wanted to share. 'Cause we're all on this journey, and you've got to believe that open talks and exchanges are what helps us along the way. Anyway, enough rambling.

Shows that I've broken down seasons of in the past, done a deep dive on each. And although their final seasons were [00:01:00] enjoyable, they didn't really. Weren't, at least for me, the like deep dive of the entire series, but I definitely wanted to give them honorable mentions nonetheless. So stick around for all that good stuff.

And then we will jump right into the episode. Ralph Barbosa's comedy special Cowabunga. Ralph is a young comedian. He is a Mexican American from Texas. I first saw him, like, just by chance. I was watching something else on HBO and Like the app recommended I forget exactly what it was I think it was like a Latino comedians like montage or like a Like the finalists of some competition or something like that But it was essentially two half hour specials one of which was Ralph's and the other was a young lady Who's I don't remember unfortunately, but from that HBO half hour I thought he was dope, super funny, and I'm sure would have a great comedic career.[00:03:00] He's in his mid twenties, I want to say, 26, 27, maybe 28, but he was really funny. He had really good callbacks. I think I broke down that special, perhaps in the past year on, on the podcast. I'm not remembering offhand right now, but he had some great callbacks in it. Good joke writing. Something about him, he has a like a very calm, laid back, kind of like seems high all the time, like that type of demeanor. But that demeanor helps hold your attention in an interesting way as an audience member. And he has bits and you know like bigger chunks, but I think of his comedy more, and I don't know if this is accurate to say, but at least this is like the What I think of when I think about his comedy he has more like non sequiturs, like one liners, one or two liners that stand out more, at least for me from his bits and, and bigger chunks that I really enjoy because [00:04:00] it highlights how much of an attention to detail he pays to Just mundane everyday situations and happenings that we all encounter and how he's able to take those and make them funny, which is great. And I'll, I'm looking forward to seeing how he continues to like evolve and grow within his craft. And he's again, already really, really good, super funny and enjoyable. He has this dope bit. On this new special, Cowabunga, available on Netflix, by the way, if I didn't mention that earlier. Where he's talking about bottled water and how it was like a big feat that he drank a water today because all he normally drinks is soda, which is definitely relatable, especially like when I was younger. Definitely not anymore. That just catches up to you. I could literally remember like my [00:05:00] teenage years drinking zero water and nothing but like soda and like iced tea That's how I would get technically h2o is by you know, make mixing my own Fucking brisk and s tea or something like that in a big jug of water, but He parlays that into speaking about like fancy waters and you know in like Fiji bottles And just had me dying cuz he he was like One of the shittiest waters that people, bottle of water that people judge you about is when you drink Dasani. And he was like, but I don't mind Dasani, it reminds me of my childhood because it tastes like Manguera. Which for my hispanically challenged folks out there, Manguera is a hose of water. So it tastes like the water from the hose that you used to drink when you were a kid. He has another one that's super funny about like being religious like we're all growing up, you know with religious family members and Not going to church he's like folks like that like him, you know have like the same kind of mentality where it's like you feel [00:06:00] like if you're good enough, you'll get into heaven and That God is kind of like the police chief in the movies that at the end he tell he he's scolding the detective and he's like, you don't play by the book, but you're a damn good detective. Get in here. And that that's essentially like how God's going to be when you get to the pearly gates. And he's done a lot of pods and interviews where I've been able to see more into, into his personality and how he is like offstage as he's promoting this latest special. So if you're into that kind of stuff, definitely. Check him out. He's done Neil Brennan's blocks. He's on flagrant with Andrew Schultz. He's in camp with Mark Agnon, Felipe Esparza's podcast, did a big boy interview, and I'm sure there's a bunch more. So definitely check those out if you're interested and definitely, absolutely check out his latest comedy special, Ralph Barbosa [00:07:00] Cowabunga available now on Netflix. So, like I mentioned in the intro, there's a bunch of TV shows that have had their series finales have come to an end. Some of which, by the way, happened months ago. And all of these shows, I've broken down previous seasons of by taking deep dives into each one and giving them their own little segment here, but I'm not doing so for their finale, ironically. Take care. For a few reasons. Their final seasons didn't resonate with me as much as their previous seasons. Not that they were bad, just that they didn't resonate as much. You know, they weren't bangers like I thought each of the previous seasons were. Some were better than others. But that's one reason. Another reason is, some of these ended months ago, maybe even a year ago. I'm just late to catching up and actually watching them. But just from a historical look back perspective [00:08:00] of this podcast, you know being that I did break them down in the past For previous seasons wanted to at least mention their their finales here and the shows are Dave Billions better call Saul and the shy So start off with Dave the first third or 25 percent of This season started off great, I thought, like right on, on pace with previous seasons. That first episode when, you know, in this season he's like uber famous and this is one episode, the first episode where this girl is pretending not to know who he is all night. Claims to be from this small town and you know, he has a big artist where he's always being recognized. Kind of gets pulled towards that. Oh, let me, you know, hang out with the quote unquote common folk and he kind of likes the girl, but she and her friends knew exactly who he was and we're we're all [00:09:00] like plotting on him the entire time. So like blew up in his face. That was a dope episode. Then the second episode, which was all about a video shoot. Was a cool episode. I especially liked it. The way it was shot, the way it was directed. They did a lot of hectic looking camera angles. The camera would change from like frame to frame to frame and all the shots weren't centered and it was like sporadic and all over the place. And I felt that that was an interesting way to film it because it lined up with How randomly Dave, the character, thinks. How he could be speaking about one thing, then goes off on a tangent, then from that tangent, splits off into three other tangents, then circles back to the original thing he was talking about. And I felt that that's what the, the director of that episode was intending to show. And it was a funny episode. There was a scene where, reminded me a bit of like a, [00:10:00] Kerr, Kirby Enthusiasm. type of scene where he's at a Starbucks and the barista says, a coffee for Jew, Jew. Are you Jew? Coffee for Jew? And he's like getting offended. He's like, Oh my God, you really just like, because I'm Jewish and the coffee happens to be for a Korean guy named the Jew. So that was funny. But yeah, that episode kind of reminded me of the way, like, Birdman, the movie was shot. Kind of like, with the camera angles jumping all over the place, and I thought it was interesting. But from there on out, and the rest of the season was good, it just fell off for me. And I felt like it was trying to be Atlanta ish, if that makes sense. I feel like Atlanta was so... Such a seminal showing that it kind of invented its own way of doing TV, [00:11:00] like its own genre, if you will. And I felt like the second half, or the second, you know, half to three quarters of the final season of Dave was trying to emulate that. And it didn't do it as well, in my opinion, as Atlanta, for example. But it was definitely a... Good season, a great series in general that I highly recommend for folks to check out. Billions Season 7. So this one out of all the, the series to me had the best ending. And by best I mean the most satisfying. It was like every single thing that I was rooting for as a viewer. So I'm sure many of you. Every single thing tied out in the positive note that you wanted it to. Even to the very unlikely teaming up and friendship, if you will, of Chuck Rhodes and Bobby Axelrod kind of joining [00:12:00] forces to defeat their mutual enemy in Mike Prince. And it did so in a way that was contrary, I feel, to like the formula of like the external want and the internal wants having to be. opposites in order to, like, satisfy the viewer or consumer of the story. I feel like at the end here, at least for all the main characters, they all got what they wanted. They got closure in relationships, like with Chuck and his dad. Wendy with Chuck, and it seemed like they were on path to putting their family back together. Wendy with her career, Wendy with Bobby, Axelrod. You know, blazing her own path and kind of, they both kind of turned their backs on that idea of them hooking up and getting together, which was, I just felt gross when that happened. Wendy's relationship with Taylor Mason, Taylor's relationship to remain independent, but with the full blessing of Bobby and running her [00:13:00] philanthropic arm, all the secondary characters, it was dope. It was, it was. Satisfying for like each, each character arc was just like ended in a high note it felt. And that was like the main takeaway of, of that final season. And I did like, like the lead in for the, for the series, how like the very first scene was the very first scene of the first episode was a flashback scene in, well actually a flash forward scene. So it showed you how the series was going to end. Then it flashed back. To present day and then every episode after that was like leading up to that moment. So you're kind of like anticipating what the fuck was that blow up about? So made it kind of like Ocean's 11 ask and in that way. And there were a couple lines of dialogue that I really enjoyed here that I jotted down. So let me read those to you. First up is control is often an expression of fear. Next one is. [00:14:00] Those words just fell out of your mouth like a meth head's teeth. And I like this one. Whatever happened way before memory, that's what drives us. So yeah, definitely a dope season. Sorry, a dope series. Very good season. Love the ending. Very satisfying. And that's Billions Season 7. Better Call Saul Season 6, if I'm not mistaken, was the series finale, which ended over a year ago, and I just finished up probably a few weeks ago, maybe a month or two ago. Very late, so I think that probably has a lot to do with the series feeling to me as a bit of a letdown the series finale rather, just because I've been disconnected from it for, for so long. But. Better Call Saul, which is the prequel to Breaking Bad, which is arguably, you know, top three series all time. I thought [00:15:00] Better Call Saul, which again is the prequel after the success of Better Call Saul, it was the prequel that Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould were, you know, able to make and wanted to. Center around one of the secondary characters of Breaking Bad. Which was Saul Goodman, a. k. a. Jimmy McGill. And the series itself could be its own standalone series. If you didn't never watch Breaking Bad, you could watch Better Call Saul. And there's some like Easter eggs and stuff like that from Breaking Bad that you obviously won't get. But it's definitely not necessary to follow. And the series itself is very interesting and Just seeing how all those characters tie into the Breaking Bad story and obviously, you know, it's kind of like reverse engineering because Better Call Saul was made after Breaking Bad, so it's easier in a sense because you know where all the characters, just from a creative perspective, I'm thinking it's easier[00:16:00] from a creative perspective because you know where each character needs to end up, but it's also confining in a sense because you know You can find to certain things that you can or cannot do based on where those characters have to end up. You know what I mean? Very interesting creative exercise to do there. To do like a prequel to to an existing story. But this series is definitely a master class on that. You know, Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould were able to do theirs. Really, really dope. Now the final season itself, it was... a bit anticlimactic for me. It was kind of fitting in how it ended just with Jimmy and, and Kim and how self sabotage prone they always were. And Jimmy's like main character trait, at least to me, is kind, he is kind of like a, like a gambling addict. Like he, like the risk of like getting away with shit and being a con man and giving up a good [00:17:00] thing. Just to start from the bottom and like try to make his way back up and then giving that up and cutting corners, living on the edge in that way and trying to get criminals off of crimes by finding loopholes and tricks within the law and legal system. Like the momentum of those kinds of traits and instincts, a lot of which Kim's character also exhibited and obviously partook in. Kind of led them to like the inevitable ending that they had, which again, when it ended, I was kind of like, that's it. That's how it's going to end. But it definitely was fitting. It was crazy how Howard Hamlin got got by fucking Lalo. That was unexpected. And how Mike's character as always trusty, trusty old Mike, part of the cleanup crew, just made all that shit go away. And you see Salamanca's rise [00:18:00] and it was pretty cool from all those aspects to to see Again, similar to like a few of the others Good season not great Anticlimactic Didn't love the ending at all. Not a not a big fan of the ending, but it was fitting for those characters but the series itself and again the The fact that it's a prequel to one of the greatest Series of all time and that it could stand on its own is definitely definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen the Better Call Saul series. And the last thing I'll say about it is that I still think that it was a missed opportunity, a missed creative opportunity. And I'm saying this completely selfishly, by the way, because it's an idea that I had that didn't really pan out. But early on in Better Call Saul. There was a point where they started showing the black and white jean flashbacks or flashbacks, flash [00:19:00] forwards, you know, like what it was, it would just show Jimmy's character, AKA Saul Goodman, who was also known as Jean at one point in time when he went into like witness protection or something, showing scenes of him at working at a Cinnabon or not in witness protection, actually, he was like, just in like self hiding, With a vacuum cleaner salesman that like makes people like disappear and shit. He just, again, couldn't help himself and his nature was just to be who he was and got himself caught again. But before it was revealed, like the, the order of that, how that was, who Saul Goodman wanted to be coming. I thought it would have been a good idea if that Jean character was like in between. The Saul Goodman that we knew from Breaking Bad and Jimmy McGill and that something occurred to make him have to go into either witness protection or something where he had to be that Gene character and then he invented the Saul Goodman character to get out of that [00:20:00] like Gene character world or whatever, but I digress anyway, better call Saul. Check it out. The Shai Has also come to an end much more recently, and I'm actually still not completely finished watching it. I have like an episode or two to go bUt definitely thought it deserved an honorable mention here. There's actually a bunch more that I like from this series than I believe the previous one, but it could also be, you know, recency, recency bias. I mean, the three main characters in Kevin, Jake, and Papa. We started when The Chi started, they were all like children, like elementary school kids, and now they're, at least in the series, graduated from high school, you know, grown up in that sense, you know, before our eyes, before, you know, over the several seasons that the show's been on, five, I believe, [00:21:00] maybe six, and with this season, final season as well, is that it shows a lot of like flashback scenes. Like, Kevin, for example, he graduated high school, he's still into gaming, he's taking it professional, he got, like, sponsored by, like, a gaming team, he wound up moving out and getting his own place, and then from there, parlaying that into being able to move to California in pursuit of this untraditional, untraditional job or, like, passion of his, which is gaming. And there's scenes with him on the train, which are really cool, where he's like, as he's on the train, going through different neighborhoods, remembering like, oh, that's where we used to ride our bikes. And it shows like a flashback scene of them through riding bikes. Or like running through the school, or like getting kissed by, by Miesha the first time. And sad things like when Kookie died and his brother, et cetera, et cetera. And as it shows, like those flashback scenes, you're like, Oh [00:22:00] shit, they were really little, like they look mad little and you see them now, like in this final season was like, damn, these kids, I really did fucking grow up. You know, time flies. That's crazy. And I follow a lot of them online, a lot of like the characters and the writers of the series. And when they were filming the. The final series and like wrapping up for certain characters that, you know, they had shot all their scenes so that they weren't going to return to set there while they're crying and like happy, sad, bittersweet about that happening, obviously, but I can just imagine how much like tighter of a, of a relationship they all have on set, like the, the folks that were there for years and years, not just the actors, but like all the cast and crew and Writers, directors, must be a pretty special relationship. But yeah, also in this series, Duda is in full force as usual. He's fucking like the devil reincarnate. Which is like taking over the city. [00:23:00] And a lot of the characters are grappling with Duda to one degree or another. Emmett winds up getting tied up with him. Well, feeling like pressure pressures to give his family a better life and kind of get ahead of himself and you know, he's doing well. He said he started the business or took over the Smokies business beginning to do well. He's with Keisha trying to do the family thing as well. But he he's like a little overambitious in, you know, wanting the house, wanting the car, wanting to buy his baby mama car, wanting to. Expand the business, except wanting to get to where you'd think he'd inevitably inevitably get to anyway, but much sooner. And then that allowed Duda, the little wiggle room that he needed to entice Emmett and then get them like roped up in his bullshit. And that's a storyline throughout the throughout this final series.[00:24:00] The folks like Papa's father, The minister, he speaks out against Duda and evil and stuff like that. He, well, you know, he went to prison in previous seasons for allowing Duda to wash his money, like through the church and repented for it and, and kind of pushed back on Duda when he wanted to do it again, then Duda winds up killing him, which was fucking sad. Prior to that happening though I thought it was pretty cool, Papa had Papa's Pulpit, his podcast, he had his father. He met his father to it and, you know, they spoke about differences that they were having and differences of opinion and just like growth and what it's like to be a father, Papa's perspective of what it's like to be his son. And it was a dope heart to heart that they had there on a podcast, which is always pretty cool to see. And when Papa was giving the eulogy for his father, I thought it was interesting, he, like, he mentions how [00:25:00] he, his father, is who he wanted to be proud of him. I think a lot of us sons feel that way. And his father is who he always wanted to impress. And then also had the realization that we have to write our own moral code to live by for ourselves. And not only live... Someone else's. Even if it's our own father's. I thought that was a good coming of age moment. If you will, for for Papa's character. What I also thought was pretty dope in the series, like they have a like this emphasis on mental health and therapy. Like there's a scene with Keisha and her mom and them going to therapy to work on their bullshit. Not, you know, diminishing their issues, but I'm saying like their, their shit, their shit within their relationship. And Victor who won a city council, he started this like group therapy session type of thing where a [00:26:00] bunch of the men in the community could go to and speak about their feelings, speak about their stresses, had just have some place to. speak on shit that's bothering them. And I think those were good, very good things to show and depict in a series like this. You know, it's a, a way to help normalize those could be very helpful tools within the community. And yeah, it's a really good season so far. I'm excited to see how it ends and wraps up. But yeah, it's had its ups and downs. There was like one or two seasons ago, I think is the one that I was just like, all right, this is just the way they, everybody was fucking. Everybody was just like, what, how does that, huh? How does that even, I don't know. It just tried to do like the mental math of it just didn't add up. So it kind of lost me for a bit, but you know, obviously I stuck with the series, want to see it through and I'm [00:27:00] glad to see where it's at. Where it's headed and appreciative of Lena Waithe, the creator and the other writers over there at the shy for putting together a really great series. And that is the shy series finale available on show time. And that folks was episode 248 of the sponsored a podcast. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen.

Całość bezpłatnie TYLKO w aplikacji Onet Audio. — Serial ośmioodcinkowy ma często ośmiu różnych reżyserów. Dla przykładu, w przypadku "The Last Of Us" wszyscy mówią o tym serialu przez pryzmat jednego odcinka, a nie przez pryzmat całego story, które chce się przekazać w tej produkcji — wyjaśnia gość odcinka, Tytus Hołdys — To są pewnego rodzaju mankamenty, z którym musi się borykać właśnie serial, a nie film, który jest zamkniętą formą. — Bardzo trudno jest opowiedzieć dobrą historię w dwie godziny. Jeżeli masz naprawdę dobrą historię, to ona potrzebuje więcej czasu. Przez te osiem, dziesięć godzin, bo ja mówię głównie o mini-serialach, sposób, w jaki możesz pokazać plastycznie te postaci i je obudować... Możesz poświęcić temu więcej czasu i lepiej tę historię opowiedzieć — mówi Bartosz Węglarczyk. — Serial, do którego wróciłem w ostatnim czasie, bo ma ostatni sezon, to "Billions". Zostało ogłoszone, że w dobrym stylu powróci w nim Bobby Axelrod, ale... wraca trochę bez sensu — tłumaczy Piotr Markiewicz — To jest taka sytuacja, że przywracamy lubianego bohatera na koniec, bo nam się albo sypie, albo chcemy zakończyć z przytupem. — Nie ma czegoś takiego jak zły serial albo zły film — zaczyna Tytus Hołdys — Każdy odbiór danej produkcji jest sumą naszych własnych doświadczeń i oczekiwań. To, że ja mówię, że "Ojciec Chrzestny" jest wielkim, wybitnym filmem i 90 proc. ludzi tak uważa, to nie oznacza, że 10 proc. jest w błędzie — dodaje. — Jeżeli choć jednej osobie podoba się jakiś serial lub film, to ja się szczerze cieszę w imieniu tej osoby. To jest super, że każdy z nas ma jakieś swoje guilty pleasure — mówi Piotr Markiewicz. W najnowszym odcinku podcastu "O serialach" rozmawiamy także o dynamice relacji Meryl Streep i Paula Rudda w "Zbrodniach po sąsiedzku", o megaserialach takich jak "Seks w Wielkim Mieście" lub "Rodzina Soprano" oraz produkcjach, w które próbowaliśmy się wkręcić, ale zupełnie się to nie udało.

This week on Special Sauce, we're revisiting a great 2022 episode about pizza featuring the great pizzaiolo Anthony Mangieri and his friend and fellow pizza lover Billions co-creator Brian Koppelman. At the time pizza purist Mangieri had just reopened Una Pizza Napoletana on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Now because Tony loves sipping espresso in cafes he has recently turned Una into a cafe on Saturday mornings serving coffee, pastries like an olive oil layer cake, and even a mortadella sandwich on house-baked bread. And now in a surprise twist Anthony Mangieri now has a line of frozen pizzas made in Italy with buffalo mozzarella called Genio della Pizza. And when I caught up with Koppelman he told me that he's been so busy with writing and producing season 7 of Billions that will see the return of Damian Lewis and his character Bobby Axelrod, AKA Axe, he hasn't even had time to do much pizza exploring.

Damian Lewis will return to Billions as Bobby Axelrod for Season 7, Sister Jean's book is in stores today, and Happy National Pancake Day!

British actor Damien Lewis will return as Bobby Axelrod in the seventh season of the Showtime original series Billions. The actor recently shared the news with host Stephen Colbert on The Late Show. Lewis was the top-billed star but departed the series after season five, following the tragic passing of his wife Helen McCrory. He will not be returning as a series regular but will appear in episodes one and six of the upcoming season.

Rich and the guys react to the latest out of Tennessee where the 1st-place Titans axed GM Jon Robinson this week. Actor Kelly AuCoin joins Rich in-studio to discuss his beloved Portland Trail Blazers' disappointing start to the NBA season, what it was like to meet Hall of Famer Bill Walton, his role in the upcoming Clippers mini-series ‘The Sterling Affairs,' and if we could possibly see Damian Lewis return to ‘Billions' to reprise his Bobby Axelrod character. Rich reveals his brand-new NFL Power rankings that, per usual, are fraught with controversy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

My thoughts on Showtime's Season 6 of Billions. This is the first season without Bobby Axelrod, as Mike Prince (Corey Stoll) is now the chief rival for Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti).

Start investing today and put your money to work. When I first started investing and making my money work for me… I was super intimidated!  In fact, the immediate thought that comes to mind when I think “investor” is a middle-aged man, in a dark suit, briskly walking down a city street with a Starbucks coffee in hand. Maybe he's wearing a fitted t-shirt instead of a button-down -- if he's got a little swag.  I am, quite literally, describing Bobby Axelrod from Billions. I love Bobby's character, but… I think you would agree, that's definitely NOT ME. ;-)  Google doesn't think it's me, either. In fact, if you do a Google image search of “investor,” guess what turns up? Ninety-nine percent of the images that populate are of the guy I just described above (ahem, Bobby) -- and no women.  It's no wonder I feel slightly uncomfortable thinking about investing -- because women, especially millennials and older, have been so conditioned to think that you have to be a man (and have a ton of money) to invest. But here's the thing… That impression is totally wrong. The game has changed, and women are investing money like never before (and Google, if you're reading this, please push some female investor images to your first page, okay?) Investing money doesn't have to mean putting millions of dollars into a hedge fund -- it simply means making your money work for you over time. The key here is, though, that you have to actually GET STARTED investing in order to be successful in it, and that my friend, is often the biggest hurdle.  That's why I'm so excited for you to hear the interview I had with Bola Sokunbi, who is the go-to expert for investing, whether you're an experienced investor or just starting out -- and definitely if you're a female investor.  She's a Certified Financial Education Instructor, best-selling author, speaker, writer, podcaster, social media influencer, and a mama to twins -- which makes her THAT much more impressive. In our interview, we discuss:  How to get started investing, even if you NEVER thought you'd be able to  Some of the barriers to investing that women face, and how we're overcoming them Tips on investing your money smarter so you can retire before the age of 65  The good, the bad, and the ugly about cryptocurrency, and if it's right for you Think of it like Investing 101, with a little extra kick. ;-)  Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts "I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy."

Bitcoin will have to change”– game: “We have a saying in poker that a sucker will soon be parted from his money”– Cobie: “It may be a bit cynical but I feel like wealth always centralizes”– game: “You're absolutely right. The wealth inequality is huge now and its growing. Something's going to have to change”Regulation– Ledger: “It would be simpler if you could “call a spade a spade” and let these tokens be a security if that's their best use case, instead of making founders pigeon hole their tokens utility into something that makes less sense”2022 Theses– game: “If you have any dog coins you should sell them”– “Come January we still have a bit more of a bull run”– “Only time the bull run stops is when there's no more QE, rates get raised, which is maybe later next year”– so basically all this money gets sucked out, rates go up and holding cash feels better than it does now– The mid tier NFTs are not keeping a bidPonzis– Back when this started, people would say “Bitcoin's a ponzi”– Some things are more ponzi than others– Basically, need real value creation for something to not be a “ponzi”– Cobie: “Can you explain how OHM works?”– game: “OHM is also a ponzi. The tokenomics is much more complex which hides it, so like it was a ponzi but now holds all these other coins”– Ledger: “Is governance enough?”– game: “absolutely”– Cobie: “Can you explain how HEX works?”– game: “HEX was ahead of its time. It's a very complex ponzi.”– Cobie: “If you are early to a ponzi then its great right… what would you say to people joining ponzis now?”– game: “in a liquidity crunch, the ponzis go away, and they get closer to NAV valuation. There is real value in community and people will pay for that, so that's an end game for some of them. Same with NFTs”Web3– Feels like there are a bunch of random VCs coming up– You don't just “decentralize” everything like “decentralized Uber”– game thinks we get something more like web2.5 where celebrities and others start using NFTs as pfps and stuff– game: “crypto is the best casino. Like we have Bitcoin store of value, L1s with smart contracts, then casinos”– Web3 is kinda like companies just having tokens to incentivize and provide rewards– game: “Once you have an NFT world where you can use them it's not a ponzi anymore”– Ledger: “Tokenization of communities, with VIP access and other stuff, is a good use of tokens and NFTs”Trading– Ledger: “There are people for whom this year has been absolutely stupid, just chasing the pump, marrying now bags and not holding any Bitcoin”– Shitcoins up or down by end of 2022?– Cobie: “idk. if it tops in march or may then maybe up, if it tops in january then probably down”Scenario That Extends Cycle?– realistically probably not– will likely trickle down to smaller caps– only thing that pushes it is if Fed keeps printing/ rates lowCT Drama– Su Zhu super dunking on Ethereum then buying it, using followers as liquidity, basically become a super villain – is this a pro or con for Three Arrows Capital?– game: “Completely depends on founders. Reminds me of Bobby Axelrod on Billions”Feds in Crypto– game talked with Su Zhu in depth about future of ETH if it was a $10T asset– it will become very political, countries forcing votes that benefits them, etc– only makes sense Feds are in crypto now lolETH as Money– Who cares what you call it?– The “ultra sound money” meme is awful– Why would you want deflationary money?– *insert various examples of why it doesn't matter if you call it money e.g. if you buy a million dollar house is your house money? who cares!End Game of USD?– It's honestly super strong– If there's no geopolitical power change it just stays in controlBlow Off Top?– Thought there was gonna be one– Used to be 60% chance, now more like 20% chanceNotes by KevinMusic by GiovanniPickle

They work! https://izoldat.krtra.com/t/so6Aw0yCuva4 Episode Transcript   Hey there and welcome to the innovative mindset podcast. I'm your host. Izolda Trakhtenberg welcome to mindful Friday. If that's, when you're listening to the show, if not, then it might be mindful Monday or mindful Tuesday. I wanted to talk about awareness in last week's mindful Friday, we talked, uh, I talked a little bit. I explored what it means to start building that. And this past week, we've been talking about ideas. And how does having an idea give you the potential to change the world? Right. If you listen to the idea of when it comes up, if you, if you note it down, if you follow it, if you find collaborators. If you have compassion, it can definitely help. There are lots of layers to this, but it's really important to keep thinking about it in these terms, because that's how it's done. Right? You find your creative genius inside yourself. You listen to the ideas that pop up out of your subconscious and then you. Find the team, you build the team collaborators, but before any of that happens, you have to have the awareness to be present and ready for whatever idea will. And I talk about meditation a lot and it's hard because we're not all able to find the time to sit down and meditate for half an hour a day. I try to find that time, but it's sometimes really difficult. I have to admit I'm up to 15 minutes, twice a day. And, uh, there are times that I'm like, hurry up, hurry up. And I have to be okay with that. Right. And waiting for the little alarm to ring, to tell me that my meditation time is over. I don't know if you watch the TV show, billions, but all of the main characters meditate. That's one of the things that they do because they realized that it gives them an edge, right. That, that ability to be agile. Happens when you meditate, you're more agile, you're more aware you're more present and you're able to respond better and faster if you're in that mindful state. So when Bobby Axelrod from the show, billions needs to be mindful. He meditates beforehand. So yes, I am going to advocate for meditation almost every mindful Friday, for sure. But what if you just don't have time? So here's a really great. Easy way to build some mindfulness into your commute. Right? And I'm not a, if you're driving, I'm not saying you need to close your eyes or anything, please don't drive safe. All of that. Absolutely. You must drive safe. You must stay aware of what's happening on the road around you. But I am going to ask you to start thinking about when you're at red lights. For example, if you're, if you're driving to work and you're at a red light, uh, let the red light guide. So while the red light is red, breathe in for a count of four and breathe out for a count of four and breathe in for a count of four and read out for a count of four. And then when the light turns green go, and hopefully you're not stuck in traffic. I know, uh, And if you're walking or if you're commuting, commuting is beautiful. If you happen to take the subway, you can look at the lights that pass through the windows and just notice each light. You don't have to do much of anything else with it, but it's a way of getting into that mindful meditative state without having to sit on a cushion and breathe rarefied air. If you're walking count, you remember that, uh, uh, It's a horrible little thing, but it's like walk a step on a line, break your father's spine thing, and step on a crack break your mother's back. I mean, they're horrible. They ha they are horrible, uh, little sayings, but kids play like that. Right. So, but you can use that. You can use that as part of. Mindfulness training. Just notice each line and notice whether or not you stepped on the line or off the line and just pay attention. Right? That's all I'm asking you to do is pay attention to each the lines and the sidewalk, or if you're taking a bus, uh, notice the colors of the trees and as you pass by them, and if there aren't any trees, then notice, find something else to notice because the more we build that awareness muscle. So you can improve your skills, your awareness skills, the easier it will be when you need to innovate. When you need to create, when you need to access that ingenuity, it will be easier on you. To do it if you've already built that awareness muscle. So this is a very short episode today, but I want to encourage you on your morning commute or evening commute. And if you're working from home, by the way, as many of us still are that's perfectly. Okay. You can do the same exact thing by looking at what's outside your window and look at it for 10 seconds. And then close your eyes and see if you can remember what you saw. That's another way of building that awareness muscle. It's a great exercise. And in fact, I'm going to put something in the show notes about that. All right. I hope that you enjoy today's episode. This is his older Trachtenberg reminding you that if you're liking the show, if you're liking this new five day a week format, I'd love to hear from you comment, rate and review. Tell a friend, uh, we'll see how long this goes. I'll be honest with you. Uh, I love talking to you about this stuff because it is my passion. I think this creativity and ingenuity and innovation is how we're going to change the world and save the world. I really believe that with all of my being, so I hope that I will be able to. Growing this podcast and this conversation really, uh, on how we might change the world for the better for all of us. If we are all creative, curious, compassionate, collaborative, and mindful until next time, this is Izolda.

While Johnny Mac is once again "stretching his legs" on the sunny shores of Manly (pretty standard WFH day), Jack, James, and Garry pour one out for their homie and talk a whole lot of turkey in this week's episode of Friday Sharpeners. After publishing a not-so-incendiary article regarding Somalia's Pirate Stock Exchange, a small yet vocal contingent of Somalian nationalists (read: the country's equivalent of QANON) issues a fatwa on BH's resident content gremlin; which he assures he's more than ready to take on, shirts off, tray of rums down the hatch, and fists itching to fly. Then comes the obligatory armchair pundit discussion surrounding soon-to-be-former Premier Gladys Berejiklian, a bombshell many would have foreseen which only dropped today. Followed by obligatory Sydney / Melbourne real estate chat, ragging on Bobby Axelrod's honking fake of an Audemars Piguet, and so forth.

Dr. Julie Gurner is an Executive Performance Coach who has been compared to Wendy Rhoades of 'Billions' by The Wall Street Journal. Dr. Gurner works with tech giants, real estate executives, and professional athletes to help identify and understand the patterns of behavior, daily decisions, and incremental wins that catapult a small fraction of the population to the very top of their fields. On this episode, Dr. Gurner discusses her background in psychology and working in the maximum-security prison system before getting into Tech Advising and launching her career as an Executive Coach. Then, Chris and Dr. Gurner discuss what makes the top 1% in their field successful, what her clients are looking for when they work with her, building confidence, curing burnout, and more. They wrap the conversation discussing the industry of executive coaching and how they contribute to some of the largest companies in the world. Enjoy!

Recently a hedge fund Sunvest admitted to making $700 going long on Gamestop GME. They just happened to be shouting from the rooftops what a great company it was, back in September. Did they have anything to do with Reddit Wall Street Bets Board starting a frenzy? Perhaps, but they managed to get out with $700 million while the Redditors if luck broke, most of them. If you really want to understand what happened, watch the hit show Billions. This one is right out of super-duper hedge fund god Bobby Axelrod's portfolio of dirty tricks and criminal pranks. Covid 19 update. I've been out of the hospital 5 weeks now and am in much better health than before I got the virus. 10 pounds lighter, lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar and my knees feel a whole lot better. I don't recommend the Covid Weight Reduction Program for you out there. There are much easier and safer ways to lose weight than this. However, I'm taking advantage of my experience to focus on my health, keep my weight down, keep carbs low and do intermittent fasting. And I'm feeling great as a result. Weight has continued to stay down. My goal is to get my Hemoglobin A1C - a blood sugar indicator - down to 5.5 within 3 months. A definitely doable goal.  That's it for now. Stay healthy and sane!

George:  Alright, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the money. The George show a free for all Friday and the mind of Georgie belongs in a straight jacket, but luckily podcasting lets me share it with you. And speaking of straight jackets on the mind, I have to give a proper intro to my friend who was on the podcast today.I am super stoked to have Michael Bernoff wrote a book called average sucks and basically helps businesses and people. Optimize their life move from where they are to where they want to go and helps people like me that have struggled with self sabotage and mind blocks and past traumas, get through them and realize that we don't have to be a victim of our past.And that in every moment we get to choose where we go with all the tools, situations, and some of the best energy without the creepy hand clapping that I've ever seen when it comes to personal development. So without further ado, I'd like to welcome my friend, Michael, to the show. Michael. Good to see you, man.Michael: I appreciate it, brother. You'll be zero hound. Like that's all you get is handclap clap, like right there. That's the creepiest creepy as we get George. So it's exciting to be here. I appreciate the invite. Let's change some wine. George:  I'm stoked. And we were, we were overdue for a catchup, everybody. So I just said, get on the podcast and we'll just catch up there and we'll tell it a day.And so Michael, the first question. This kind of kicks everything off for everybody on my show. But when you think back, you've been in this game for a long time, you've been doing personal vellum. You've been doing business, you've been doing high level coaching. You just been helping people transform their lives. But when you look back and reflect on yours and Debra's journey, what was the biggest mistake that you ever made? And what did you learn from it? Michael: Interesting. Biggest mistake overall, or the one that I keep on making that I'm looking to get out of. I mean, which one I'll go, I'll go either direction, Number one is hiring myself. That's it? That's the biggest mistake I made in business is looking for me has been the biggest mistake I've made over the years. I kept on. I kept on bringing on people. I like, I enjoy, I want to hang out with their might buddies. They're my peers. And it was probably the biggest mistake I ever made.And I caught onto this after watching the, the men who built America that show. And I watched that Carnegie had brought on again in Frick, who was the absolute opposite of him. It took me eight years. And probably cost me half a million dollars in salaries and different things over the years, bringing on high level people that are identical to me that were not the opposite of me.And that's been my biggest mistake. I'd say in business, one of the hardest things that I've had to work on getting over is finding the missing link instead of finding a companion as crazy as it sounds.George: I'd say a really good one. And so what's the one you keep making over and over.Michael: You know, what's interesting is every time and we do really, really well, which is all the time, right?We get to this point where we've got this little chunk of this little chunk of space and time and meaning like we've got extra time, we've got extra money, we're in a good spot, which is predominantly my life where we can get this little bit of extra. I get this feeling every once in a while, but I could buy my problem away, meaning that I can hire a person.I can get it thing and do it. Instead of, I realize that I've got to do that myself. So I'm not saying you can't grow, you can't scale, you can't hire. But I'm just saying a lot of times when I get comfortable, have found that I looked four and I'm way beyond the normal comfort of people. But yeah, I find that I want to get to the next level and I think of it as throw money at it or throw something at it.I can make it go away. Instead of realizing that I got to put a little pieces in place myself first, before I can add that extra thing or person. So that's been a big one for me. Hopefully that makes sense. I break it up or am I good?George: I no, you're perfect. You're perfect. Well, I want to actually unpack that because I think that's probably one of the most common themes in the entrepreneurial world.I see. It's just the wrapping paper changes. We get to that place and it's like, it's like silent self sabotage. And like comfort comes and then you're like, Oh, let off the gas pedal for a minute. Okay. I have this space and for me it happens a lot, but what ends up happening for me is like, I'll be recording podcasts, like crazy, and I'll get a big buffer and I'll slow down and then I'm behind again.And I actually let go of the thing that created the space in the first place and then expect you to be able to recreate it overnight. And so I think it's a super, super common thing. I know for me, it isn't everybody I worked with. So as you recognize that, right, I think you nailed something that's so powerful in the entrepreneur world.We're here at all the time. Well, if you have money, you don't have a problem. I was like, well, that's true to a sense, except the foundation still looks the same and another floor as much as you want, but the foundation still can't support it. So like, when you say. For you like doing the work on me, you're looking at like, what are you talking about?And what do you look at and what work are you doing to help set yourself up, to get to that next level? Michael: Well, again, I'll give you a prime example. So I'm the best promoter of what I do. Meaning that when I promote what I do there's two beliefs. I talked to someone recently said the fastest way to change.What you do is to stop believing you're the best at what you do, even though there's certain things I'm phenomenal at the best of the world, the language communication, one of the best of the world at that. Believing that is probably a limitation inside of myself because as soon as I believe I'm the only one that can do it, I give up looking or trying to find anybody to help me.So I give an example. I bring on a business people to, I bring up, forgive me. I bring on myself. I'm excited about what it is that I do. I get excited. I pumped out our business. We make things happen. I promote, I sell. I do. And then I get busy with the infrastructure of taking care of all of it. And then I forget to put in place the things that work like for instance, If I'm training somebody new and I was working with them instead of just training them, I normally train them how to do what I do, show them the things that I do instead of thinking this old way of training or this old way of sharing.Like give an example if I'm great at selling what I do, I'm great at promoting great at selling can do some amazing stuff from stage. How do I duplicate that inside of another person? So doing the work to take the time to actually educate somebody to do it rather than I did the work. Did you see what I did?I hope you, you can do it. That's a big piece of the puzzleGeorge: Yeah, no, no, no. It makes sense. It's something, I pick an analogy. You're the language expert here. I just dabbled in it. I dabbled in the dark arts of language to get myself in trouble. Like that's how I see it, butI think what you nailed is that.You know, I have that same thing. I thought about it before. Like there's things in the world that I'm quote unquote, the Basta and then still having to improve, but I stay there. And then when somebody comes in, I hand them an outcome and I expect them to get there a certain way without giving them the actual way points or the touch points to get there that way.And the truthis that what I've struggled with? Because I'm just going full disclosure in the beginning is a lot of the times, I don't know. How I got there because I don't take the time to reflect or sit down or create that to make it repeatable because gets into my fear of success. Or my story might be wrong or, you know, all of those different pieces.And so Keith Cunningham nailed this one for me in his book, the road less stupid. it kicks me in the nuts every time I listen to it in the best ways, but, uh, yeah, that thinking time has been a really powerful determinant for me on like, just getting clarity and realizing that business.And I'm pretty sure personal development will be the same way as that. My thought with entrepreneurship is like immediate gratification, right? Like if I do this, I'll have this. If I. Launch this I'll make this, but it's just these short term results over and over and over again. And I feel like I've made those swings in my life as well to where it's like, Oh man, I got dad bod during COVID go run 12 miles on a broken the next day.Oh, I pissed them off when I said this, I'm just not going to speak for the next six days. Right. Like all those extreme. So like, how do you. Navigate that response. So I, and I'm only gonna speak for myself. You can use me an example yourself or whatever, but I know that there's times in our life where we're hit with this clarity, or we have to hire, or we get met with this resistance, or this fear comes up and we can either react or respond.And I know practices daily trying to increase that wedge between. You know, trigger and response, but like, what do you do? What's your practice? What do you recommend people do that? So it's not hasty and they can get into training that person the right way, or, you know, replicating their self. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.Michael: and so do me a favor, cause my add kicked in massively. I'm gonna ask you the question. Could you summarize that question? It's a bunch of pieces of the puzzle. Where do you want me to start on that? Cause that's a big, old question. I want to get this for the listener. I want to get that. So pinpointed where there's just like an exact answer.George:  So I'm driving the Zeigarnik effect home to the T with Michael right now, but. The core of the question is entrepreneurs are going to be faced with either. I need to hire somebody, grow them a moment. A lot of them are emotional based situations. They're either hit with fear or something along those lines, and they have two choices they can react to respond.So how do you recommend somebody navigates that? So we're not making reactive decisions, just trying to buy our way out of the problem and getting into the steps or the way points required both personally, and for the people on the receiving endMichael: So the first thing we've got to figure out is I believe you said earlier, we gotta be focused and yeah, the one thing is we've got to know what it is that we're after and what it is we want at the end of the day. And I think that's one of the biggest mistakes people make. I teach this to my HIQ program, as simple as it is. A lot of times we think outcomes is just our goals, but that's going to be questions.Like, what do we want this to do? That's a crazy question. And it's the people that can ask that question a lot that they really get really comfortable. Like, what do we want this to do? Like, I play ice hockey, right? So I'm going out, like, am I going to just go play hockey? Or like, what do I want to do this shift?Where are we at the approximate? Cause my outlet to get out of the zone as quickly as I can use energy efficient and then go up the other side of the ice. So most people, what I've recognized is they do not really know what they want. What it is they're doing to actually do. So I would start there with people.Number one is like, if you're hiring people, like, what do you want them to do? Like, I know you think you need somebody, but like, what does it look like when it's working? These are questions. Most people don't know how to ask. So, like I say to salespeople all the time, like when you're great at sales, what does it look like?What are the results you're getting? I'm saw a lot of people were making a lot of money. What does it look like? Because if it's just about sales and making money, You're missing it, the quality of life. What is the thing that we're after? So I think the biggest question we've got to ask right off the bat is what is it that, what is it you're after?What is it you want it to do? Because I think a lot of times the decisions we make in our lives, this is where my book average sucks comes in. It's like a lot of times people think it's about being better than other people, but we make decisions in life. I would say 99% of our decisions we make are out of problem mode.We're out of like. Something's screwed up or, Oh my God, I got a bandaid issue here. Put a bandaid on it. Just lost everything. I gotta to figure it out. So what happens is we get to a point where we're not where we want to be, and we're willing to take anything other than what it is we have versus ultimately getting what it is we want.So what I always say to people is that if you really stopped and thought your entire life even becoming an entrepreneur, Came out of damage mode. It's like either at a job, you hate, you want it to be your own boss. You wanted to figure it out. You were pissed off. It's about something that you became an entrepreneur. If any of us thought this through, we probably never would have bothered becoming it's crazy to be an entrepreneur, gotta be a whack job, screw up, screw loose person. But then we get so into it. It becomes our identity. So I'd say one of the biggest things issues. We run into it where we all need to start a big starting point is what do we want it to do?And number two, it, because when we realize we're here to solve a problem, What is the alternative to this problem because, Hey, we don't have enough leads. What do we do? Oh, you sell leads. I'll take you come here. But then we're asking, like, what kind of leads do we want? Is this the kind of person we want a relationship with? How long have we worked with this person? So we make very rash decisions. When we're not where we want to be. So that's one mistake that all human beings make and entrepreneurs, especially. So hopefully that's the beginning of an answer for your question. George:  Yeah, no, it's no, it's super good. So, you know, I think outcome based thinking is something that I just started to like really, really understand. Andthis might sound really weird. I hadn't done enough worker forgiveness on myself, even get into outcomes prior to this point, like I was using entrepreneurship as a tool, right. Like I knew where I wanted to go. But when it came to like being able to describe it with texture or detail or an outcome, I couldn't go there.I couldn't think about it. There was like this block. And so I had to kind of like, I don't want to say earn the right, but I kind of had to go through some licks and lessons to get into that clarity. And so now that I have that outcome based thinking it started to change everything for me, and I'm noticing a lot more alignment, but also requires a lot more patients on my side.Because I'm healing from that dopamine and gratification. So when you say outcomes, step one is clarity. And I think that that's probably been the most helpful one for me. And so somebody sitting here like, okay, To have this problem. I need more leads, my website's not converting.Nobody's buying my offer. Right. The easy immediate thing to do is react, knee jerk, jump in and be like, Oh, let me get more. And then creating permanent damage down the roadMichael:  thinking it through, you're thinking short term now, long term.George: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So how do you, what are like some of the tools that you can use? So like I use ice baths, right? Like for me, like it's the only thing that shocks me into the present moment. Ice baths, man,Miachel: wake your ass up.George:  Whew. Like you want me present? You put me in an ice bath. Right? All thoughts go away. All emotions go away. And I am in then here and now faster than I could ever get there. But. I know what it feels like, like during COVID, like we lost a couple of companies, I lost seven figures, right? Like I felt there were times that if I didn't have the tools in my toolbox, I would have been immobile, like paralyzed, like not knowing what to do because the weight was so heavy. And I have so much empathy and compassion those moments. Cause I know what it's like to feel stuck and frozen PTSD and all those other things. And so, yeah. You know, we're like, Oh, have outcome have clarity, but then once you have it and you get hit with that resistance, like what are some of the tools or processes or things that people can do in their life, help them navigate those times.Michael: Yeah. So let's take a real example here real quick. Let's let's bounce back and forth. You and I are cool. Let's do it real. Let play off this real quick. Let's think a real world equation. Let's  like, I'll take it just on me, but like, you got me here and we're lot. I have let's take bill, the entrepreneur, what he's dealing with and all, but on the dime. Cause I can give you a generic or I can help you personally, or somebody you've met like right now like there's somebody dealing with this on the show. So I'm going to throw it back at you.George: Yeah, I got bill. I got a lot of bills, myself being bill included.Michael: I can get in as we're listening. Keep going.George:  Oh yeah, yeah. Plugged me in. So our computer doesn't die over here. So bill all pre the world being shut down. Everything was good, was cruising. Things were predictable. Revenue was coming and then all of a sudden, the world gets shut down and locked down.Amazon changes, loses product, you know, sales chop, 90% having to make hard decisions. And now bill through that, but it's almost rebuild or relaunch where we are, but there's so many things happening that emotionally it's completely like all over the place. And so there's a lack of clarity. Number one because the state of the world is so crazy and nobody knows what it's going to look like and then how to find the right levers based on what's there.Now you do business coaching. So I'm asking about this particularly. So for me, bill is I either have to close this business or I have to make a big shift right now. Right? Like my social's kind of working, but it's not converting to sales. The people that I had, aren't buying again. I have to go find a new avatar.My product didn't get listed or it's not converting my website, my ads aren't working, but I think the root of it is there so much that can be done and everything was working and everything broke at one time. And so it feels paralyzing.Michael: So let, let's play with the words here real quick. And we'll just, I say we stay together here cause I'm going to want to watch this, your bill and the word. So I watched you're in California, right? George: I'm in Cali.Michael: So I watched not going to get into politics, but I watched the guy who makes the deal decisions over there, make the announcements right around March and he goes, California people, please stay home. This is what he said.  Please stay home.And then a minute later, The LA times is like California's on lockdown. He never said that. They said that terminology lockdown is designed in a strategic language to literally lock you down and mobilize you in place. It is designed by media companies to literally make you sit and read, sit and watch, and basically fuck yourself.Get nothing. Does that make sense? I don't know a better way to put it, but it's made to make you go, huh? It'd be down like this and they own, you that's designed no different than Netflix, that little button that makes you go to the next episodeof madman or whatever it is that's on next. So it's designed to do that.So one of the things is language is the fastest way to change anything. So I'm gonna give you a little bit of little technique. This is my favorite statement is that. Communication is the most underdeveloped underutilized asset that we have as human beings to achieving anything you want in this world.I'll say it again. Medication is most underdeveloped utilize asset that we have as human beings. So when people are like saying to themselves, the world is hard right now. Let me ask you a question. Is it hard or is it not what you want it to be? Because one of those is you're immobilized. It's difficult.A Navy seal would not call it hard. They would say, this is not optimal. I know that I worked with tons of Navy seals. They would say those circumstances are not optimal. And that is why they're Navy seals. Why we admire them. We go like this. Even if you don't like the military Navy seals are like this, we look at them go bad-ass.They're amazing. They are communicators galore. Hostage negotiation. They do incredible things. I've met a lot of these crazy guys over the years. So one of the things that I've recognized is human beings look at their situation and they do not set it up to win. I don't want you to be positive and go.This is great, but I want you to see it for what it is. Ultimately COVID is what's called an inconvenience. It's a massive inconvenience. You had a life that was different. The other alternative is you said you want a simple technique for people. How old are you now? George? George: 37Michael: 37 years old. How many months have we been dealing with nonsense?George: Seven. Six.Michael: Okay. You're good at math. You're good at math. What seven months too. Like my daughter asked me quickly today what's 2000 seconds. And how many hours is that? I go, 33. I'm quick with math. So what I recognize, you got to see me at a blackjack table. It's scare you what I can do,but what's interesting.I take over the dealers' minds. It's a fascinating concept. We do. But if I were to say at a 37 years of your life, seven months of which have been very inconvenient, correct? A lot of times we think our lives are over, but if you take 37 and you divide seven months into it. This is ridiculously like not a big deal, but most people it's been going on for 37 years in seven months.We're good. I'd be very concerned. Well, most people don't realize. We use words like quarantine. We use words like Corona. We use all these things that are going on and we're losing. The other thing that we're doing is most people. And I used to teach this. This is called a phone, right? Remember these things.George: Oh, Oh, wait the cable with a cord Michael: with the cable. This is like the old school right now. Back in the day when I'd call people, I'd say I'd have a lot of clients that call people money in motion. There's a lot to do with what you're sharing with me and they give people too much credit. So they're calling a guy that just, he just loved Google got 300 million bucks.He was one of the founders of Google. And you work for UBS financial. You want to transfer that money into your account. So when you call him, the guy could be five foot six, and you could be six foot five. And you're looking up at them. You're putting them on a pedestal. I think most people don't realize they put their problems up here.The reason Joel Olsteen has big Joel Olsteen is cause we picture up there power. We picture big up top. Most people position their problem incorrectly. Like it, when we were kids, it was Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Mike Tyson. That was it. That was okay. Tiger woods. That was it. Bumping bang. Boom. And what did we do? We put them on a pedestal, but anytime you put a problem or a person on a pedestal, you put yourself on the ground. So one of the things we need to do is call the Smurf and I hate to say the word Smurf, but when I call people, I picked I'm three foot two. And the reason why is it allows me to dominate in the situation.Most people are picturing COVID Amazon not working. They're like looking at, if you're watching me and not listening, I'm like cowering down to this thing. Instead of looking at it, like the spec, when the IRS sends me a letter in the mail, I know I don't want to read it. I look at it. I imagine it in my head, some little guy in a cubicle sent me this letter with his typewriter.Let me see what I got to deal with that I opened it up and I learned to deal with it. But if you picture big, bad, scary agency with machine guns, which the IRS doesn't have, you're picturing them with AR fifteens and your picture of them knocking on your door. They're their pencil pushers. George: They have a stapler and pocket protector.Michael: Yes there, the guy from office space or whatever it is, right. You're getting at it's all of it comes down to framing your life gets easy when you frame. So like I noticed this in my relationship when I first got married, my wife would say to me, listen, we're arguing. It's not over. We're just arguing. Like, it doesn't mean I'm like, Oh, okay, got it. This is.an argument in a relationship. George: Oh yeah. Aye. I say this because I think this is such a valid point and I don't know what part and just full disclosure, a lot of you're listening to, I've done a lot of personal mom or Michael, somebody I like highly respected. So all of this is very validating, the work that I work on every day, but one of the things for me that I noticed back in the past, and it's still cause the not compartmentalize, it still comes up, but I still have a default emotional state that comes up sometimes where it's like this happened.It's the end of the world, or I didn't communicate effectively. She wants me to move out or that didn't happen. The business is over. Now. I have the tools in place to be like, okay, no compartmentalize, like not like frame it. Right. Container it. And be like, okay, Nope. In this moment. Right. And one of the things I asked myself a lot is who am I.Who am I? Who am I? There's this awesome movie called chasing great,chasing presence. But, the professor, I forgot his name, but he's the leading professor on duality. Michael: I'm gonna write this down.Geroge: Yeah, it's called chasing the present and he's the leading professor, like most acclaimed, every award ever when it comes to duality and it was this really simple concept because in that moment, I asked myself that question, like, who am I?And I'm like, Oh, I'm this scared little boy. And it's like, what was I born that way? No. And I'm like, Oh, who am I? And I'm like, Oh, well I'm being compassion, but also fearful, empathetic and scarce. And I was like, was I born that way? I'm like, no. And then like it gets down. Yeah. And eventually there's no answer to the question and I'm who I want to be or whoever I am in that.Moment to moment . It's a really interesting perspective. So when you think about containers and language, cause like you're a master at NLP and framing and all those different things. I mean, it, it lands heavy when you, when you sit here, talk about like the media and the consumption and, you know, having to protect our lives from all that poison out there.But then what are some of the, like the self-talk statements? Like what are some of the empowerment things that people can do or say in those moments to create that container or frame those emotions or that experience to help them navigate that?Michael:  Well, let's let's, let's do something really interesting. Let's take a step back. I feel like we're I feel like we're debating. It's like I watched the debates. It's hilarious.George: OkayMichael:  Sure. Train really well, but not a bad debate. Let me go back sentence to what you were talking about. Then I'll pick it up. I have add like most of your listeners,  solve this. So one thing you said is pretty interesting about identity right there. So like when I was writing my book, A nine year old boy was trying to write the book. I didn't realize that Tucker had to call me out on it. It's like, Hey dude, what are you doing? Okay, what are you doing? Right. It's one of my, one of my best friends.And he's like, Hey, call me. I was like what are you doing? What's wrong with you?, And I realized that a nine year old boy that was trying to prove a point was writing the book. and then one day I looked in the mirror and go, why am I feeling thing so much of what am I doing? And then I realized something very interesting that I was trying to prove a point that I could do it myself, that I didn't need anybody else that I wanted to get it done.I wanted to heal myself, whatever it is I thought I was dealing with. And then one day I looked in the mirror and I was actually talking to Brad. Brad stands at one of my buddies. I was talking to Brad about this and I called him out right away the podcast. I said, Brad, how old are you? And he told me he was like 40 something.And he told me I will do this. Let me tell you a little story. I go, I believed I couldn't get into the book. And then myself who is writing the book and the nine year old boy was trying to write the book. That's where the idea of the book came in trying to be important. Then I said, well, what would a 41 year old man was a year ago?What would a 41 year old man me, that has worked with hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. That's happily married with great kids. What can that guy do? And what's amazing is most of us haven't updated our identity in a long time to make decisions from the who we are now versus who we were then.So one of the first things I'm going to, all of you is take a minute today. Look in the freaking mirror. You don't want any work to do. You don't have 90 seconds look in the mirror and go, who am I today? I don't care if your life sucks today, I'm a guy or girl that has been through a bunch of shit still alive, and I've made it is different than I'm a person that doesn't know what to do.So what I'm getting at is most of us have to, the first thing we need to do is look in the mirror and goes, who's actually making this decision. The problem is as a business owner, Most of us are still operating off who we were instead of who it is we want to be. So when I sit down with people from a coaching perspective, the first thing I ask them is what was your original reason for making money?And they're like, Oh, I wanted financial freedom. And I wanted to prove a point and I want it to be, how long have you been in business? Eight years. Awesome. Do you have financial freedom? Kind of. Okay, good. Are you on bossy ass? Have you proven a point? Yes. Then shut up and work on the next thing. Now it's about being profitable.We've got to move on. Most of us do realize that you're farther along than you think you are. It's just your old, you is running your life. There's multiple inside of ourselves. So a lot of us don't recognize that your brain is different than your mind. Your brain is. Your your, like in origin your mind is the operating system.Like your Mac computer is your brain, the operating system, snow leopard 46, eight seven three two Oh S. That is your mind. And your mind's main focus is keeping not you alive is keeping your identity alive. What you've said is necessary to be true. So that's going back to the thing we showed a minute ago.Now, the next question you asked was. The next question you asked is what do people do? And, and can you frame that last part for me again, because I'm going to add these two things together. George: Yeah. So keep it, to keep it short. So when feeling that way and getting into framing, like what do they do to, to reframe, right.And then take a step forward in that new interpretation. That empowering interpretation.Michael: There's three things. Everything we do. Number one is language. Language is made up of 85 different things, language I'm just making up 85, 80,000 things. There's the words, the intensity, the words, the tone, the word choice, the modality of the words, a million things.Number one is check your language. And the reason I'd say is there's another way to say what it is. You're saying more intense or less intense. Is it a failure? Is it a catastrophe or is it an inconvenience? Those are three different words with three different sets of emotions. I call it gradient language, but on each side of the room word is another way to say it less intense, more intense.Now you've got to ask yourself which way you want to go. Number two is pattern. We all have patterns in our life and you've got to ask yourself, like right now we have patterns we havewhat do we do? Realize when COVID first hit. I'm  personal responsibility, survivor type. Like I actually sadistically do really well during chaos.So when I'm playing hockey and a guy the other day got a blade cross his neck, I got a EMT, a plastic  three doctors and a lawyer. Everybody runs, but me and the plastic surgeon, the people that are used to blood, I go, you. Yeah. Even the referee didn't know what to do. You take your Jersey off, wrapped around his neck.You go call the ambulance right now. I do really well during chaos. So what's one of my patterns. So I've got to learn how do I selectively create chaos when I need it? Now, if you do not do good during chaos, you've got to then find a way to frame that differently yourself. So we've got language, we've got patterns.And number three is it's our state of being like, what state are we actually in? And I always know that a lot of times we try to fight through lowering your head and trying to get through your problems. The stupidest thing you can do. I always tell everyone, just give up. And the reason I say give up for an hour, give up for a day back in the day.And I didn't feel like working. I would go to Dave and Buster's, I could love video games. And the reason why is you're not going to do it, the reason you don't want to do it, if you were fearful, that's one thing. But if you've been in business eight, 10 years, and you're having a bad day, you're done, day's over.You're done. Don't go drink. I don't really, I'm not a drinker. I mean, if you want to drink,  I don't recommend drinking. It messes with the brain, but go do something, go play tennis, do an ice bath. Get that out of there. You need a clear perspective. You will not solve the problem inside of it. You've got to get into a different state.So Virginia city are one of my earliest mentors that I had. She's one of the people like the predecessors of NLP said, we've got three States. We've got decision making mode. Okay. We've got problem mode and we've got resource mode. But you can't make a decision unless you're in resource mode, but you won't be in resource mode when you're in the problems.So just imagine for a sec, I can get three cards in front of you. Like these are three napkins, but imagine one napkin said, problem. One napkin said solution, or a resource. And the other one said decision, and you put them out in front of you and go which mode I am, problem, resource and decision.And if you can't find. A, if you're in a problem, you need to very quickly get into a resourceful state. So you can make a decision and then you come back and solve the problem. And that's the one thing I gotta recognize learning how to become aware of that is how you get a Navy seals mentality. George:  Yeah, man, I love that those three modes it's actually similar to how Disney did it when they were doing business.They had three separate offices for ideation for the execution then for the critic.That, that same frame is really powerful and you and I are super alike and this has come up a lot in my life. Because I grew up in chaos, I then joined the Marine Corps for three combat deployments and I Excel.  it's somewhere hidden in the corner over here. I excelled in that, but then one of the things that you just said that really caught me off guard in a good way, and I think is going to be super helpful for me is there's a lot in my life where recognizing that pattern, I made that pattern wrong.That like, I was good under chaos, or I was good under pressure because I was framing it incorrectly. And you said knowing when to create that or when to turn that on. Um, so I dunno can you just expand on that for me? Because that one's super well to me, Michael, like I tend to subconsciously or unintentionally create chaos.Things will be good and I'll lob a bomb, right. Because then I'm comfortable or like somebody will talk to me. Give me feedback and it'll be completely nothing and I'll blow it out of perspective so I can win my way back. Cause I'm I thrive in that situation. Michael: But you like problems, you like solving things?George: Yes Michael: Okay. So there's a bunch of ways to, there's a bunch of ways to take this one on number one is we've got to realize that everything we do has a positive intention. That's one of my favorite beliefs and it's hard for people to accept that quitting is a good thing and procrastination is good. Some of you listen and go screw this guy.What'd you talk about. Quitting is good. Let me explain real quick. If you can quit little league, you can quit. You can  quit smoking when you get older, if you can procrastinate, which is a wonderful, full technique. How is procrastination? Good procrastination? Yeah, it's fantastic because if you can procrastinate over eating, you will be in better shape.Most people do not recognize the procrastination, quitting is positive things. So your ability to. Go into chaos and solve problems is a beautiful thing. When used appropriately would you, haven't learned how to do is understand the margins when to turn it on and when to turn it off. So here's the deal. If you need it to get going, I don't want you to get rid of it. Cause you'd get boring. I wouldn't like you anymore. You wouldn't be in town. If Mike Tyson didn't know how to work of a frenzy, he would never have been Mike Tyson. We would have never looked up to him. He would never be one of the greatest fighters in the world.No chance in hell. So we've got to learn how to do it. So the question is, do you know. How to turn it on. Yes. But do you know how to turn it off sooner than before it's too late? Like, do you know how to use it to your advantage and recognize what it is? George: No, not yet. Not yet like full, full disclosure. And like I guys on the pod we're going there. Cause I love Michael. I trust them inherently. So a lot of thousands of you get to listen to this live or, or when it's, when it's released. But no, for me I can turn it on now with all the right reasons and all the right parts. The margin. I blow out by a landslide and I don't see it until after, like, I haven't got the distinction of the awareness when I'm in the margin yet I missed the cues because I'm still, what, what I make up is I'm still, I have some unhealed trauma or I've just so far in it, like blinders on because I'm so comfortable, but also so afraid at the same time that I can't, I can't see those margins.  So, no, I haven't figured that out yet. Michael: Are you comfortable? Are you being effective?George: I'm comfortableMichael: Okay. Very good. So you're comfortable in the chaos? George: Yeah. Super comfortable. Michael: Okay. Very good. Very good. Okay. Are you uncomfortable when the chaos goes away? George: A lot of timesMichael: Okay, very good. Is it because you're bored and you like solving problems?  So you identify as a guy that likes to solve problems. Correct? George: I derived my vow. I've derived my value and worth from my ability to add value or solve something, which is the work that I do on spending time alone, because inherently I have a lot of codependent tendencies in nature due to my childhood. So I spent a lot of time alone working on being comfortable in that absenceness, or just by myself. Michael: Okay. So are you a codependent? Like, is that, is that like, is that a diagnosis? George: Yeah. Yeah, no, that was, that was a, yeah, that was a previous diagnosis. I've been through a couple of 12 step programs and all of that. So those were tendencies I had from my childhood in my trauma that have come into entrepreneurship. Well, and basically,, I'm super uncomfortable when there's no chaos. Michael: Okay. Was he uncomfortable? You don't know what to do. George: I don't know what to do. Okay. Michael: Those are two different things.  So let me just ask you again, are you uncomfortable or you don't know the next step? George: I don't know the next step. Okay.Michael: So do you know the difference between building and solving. well, tell me what you think the difference is. Cause those are words and they're interesting how words have meaning.  What's the difference between solving and the building?George: the difference between building and solving is,in a building would be the doing executing the task or the solution that you came up with solving. So solving would be ideating getting clarity, creating an outcome, and then building would be executing what you created that clarity on.Michael: Okay. So are you less comfortable in building something and more comfortable and solid? George: I am more comfortable in solving things. Yes. Michael: So no one really taught you how to build things. No. Okay. So bottom line is you don't have sophistication when it comes to building, but the thing you want revolves around building, so you really have a lack of understanding of building.  You really don't have a codependency issue. It's that building requires you to take responsibility for actually to build something. From scratch. So you like to build things or like it's a hallucination, the way you're building is you're building by solving a problem. So you like to hallucinate build versus what you really want is things to be sturdy, correct?George: YesMichael: Okay. So, um, so with that said, you've never looked at it that way.  So the issue you're having is no different than other people is it's not that things, aren't the way you want them to be. It's not that you like chaos so much. It's that. Chaos is comfortable and building is something you're not very familiar with, but what happens when you decide to get good at something and dedicate your time to it?  What happens? George:  go hard in the paint all the way.Michael:  What does that mean? George: Um, just tangible examples. Like I want it to be good at golf. So I got down to three handicap. I want it to Scott out of a thousand jumps in a year and a half. I wanted to scuba dive. So became a dive master rescue diver in a week and a half. Like I, I just tend to go all the way. Got it hard.Michael: So this is just an area that you've never actually applied yourself yet. George: Yes. Yes. And it comes up everywhere. It comes up primarily in interpersonal relationships.Michael: So do you believe possibly, and I had thrown you out there on your show will help you out with this. You had some challenges as a kid on sounds like parental stuff. I don't know your whole back story. There's some stuff, mom, dad, different types of things. Challenges does that, whatever, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Yeah. We'll leave that where it belongs. We'll let the therapist handle that. But the point is.What I realized, and we stunt our growth. We think we can't grow and we like to protect versus grow. So my question is, what if you did, when I said, and you thought about this, like, what is the, what are you capable of today? Like, this is the question that I asked Brad. And I asked you what can you do from the position you're in?Like, what could you, you build, like, if you were to be outside of you and hire you, what could that guy do? George: If I was to be outside of me and hire me, what could he do?Michael: stories without the like, cause you hired you, you would, that person wouldn't show up with the drama and the stories and the diagnosis they would show up with the ability,  So you would never hear about it. Like if you hired them and you paid you 150,000 bucks a year to accomplish a job, what job could that guy do? George: Yeah. So applicably in my business right now could write the curriculum for my mastermind could record the seven video ads could develop the email strategy for the next three months in a matter of an hour..Michael: Okay. That guy can do that. Yes, it may. Cause you would hire that guy to build. So the question is, have you put this person in the right job? What you have this person doing in the Marines? There's there's like the commander, there's the nightwatchman,there's the guard. There's PT duty.There's, you know, cutting potatoes. Like what job did you sign yourself up for? Like, what is your automatic job that you're signed up for? Is it protector as a builder? I think you forgot that you how to protect yourself right now. You know how to use a weapon, you know how to use your hands, you know, self-defense or badass.I think he forgot that you could stop protecting because you've already got that part down. And I think you need to flip into a different mode, which means your identity needs to shift. And I think you just forgot to update your operating system. You're operating off of an LG. What was that thing? Back in the day, you're operating off the old razor phone. Remember the razor? The star tech and you forgot, do you have an iPhone X, Y for seven six, and you realize you've already got production protection. 99% of the world would never want to get into an altercation with you physically or verbally. Yeah. So you've already got protection down. I think we could put that off to the side and we can go into building mode.And I think a lot of people can get out of lockdown mode. And a lot of people can get out of worry mode and we can start going into building. And I think we're just a little bit behind. George: Yeah, man. I'm actually, I have tears welling upMichael: I know I can see it. I love you. That's why I'm doingGeorge: And this is why I have people like you in my life. Cause I could coach this by Stefano. It's all the time I talk about this all the timeand the distinct and I love it.  I'm, I'm protecting and it's this interesting thing and it almost seems like a conundrum to me because I say like, I. I'm comfortable in the chaos. And then but when I'm in it and it motivates me, then I'll protect myself even more. Cause it gives me some semblance of safety. Michael: So you value value, protection massively, don't you?George: I do. I do. Michael: And when you value protection, you protect every aspect, you protect your finances. You don't want to lose things. You worry about stuff, all that kind of stuff, but here's the thing. Nobody could pay you to stop being a protective person. It's who you are. It's your soul. So you could actually stop trying to do it. You'll do it automatically. What if you were to take it down 20% and not even try to do it anymore?Fuck it. I'm just gonna put it off to the side. I'm done protecting. I'm gonna focus on building. I think for the next six to eight months, I'll always be a protector cause that's who I am innately and it'll show up as I need it. Well, let me ask you a question. You've never attempted to shift your identity, right?George: Oh, I have a lot. Michael: You moved it to something like building versus protecting.George: Yeah. That's why we have a podcast. Took me nine years. Michael: I get it. But have you ever said that to yourself? Very simply that you know what, I'm going to shift my perspective. I don't need to worry about protecting you.George: No, I've never, I've never used language to do that.  Or like made that declaration. Yeah. Michael: I wouldn't, I would give it a shot. I believe you've already done it. I see it leaning forward and how simple it is to do, but I'll tell you that you've got a venue you're automatically going to be a protector, like automatically every one of you is going to be an entrepreneur. You need to stop trying to be an entrepreneur. I need to stop building something. Stop trying to prove to people you're an entrepreneur and start building something that works. So anyways, that's just a side note on everything. I can't solve everything in one, one.George: I think. I, I, I actually think it's super, super powerful, not even a side note, like just the main, the main, it's a massive, main vein for me.And I know it's out there a lot because like, as you even said that, and you're talking about like me being the protector, I also will intentionally default to it. Out of, uh, out of the fear of growth, right? Because that creates vulnerable. And I don't know what it looks like and I have to build, and  it's like I've had these opportunities to declare myself a builder and, but I will only declare myself a builder in that container in which I think I can control.And what you're saying is very powerful for me. It's very, very powerful. I think it's powerful across the board. Like when you think about this and COVID and everything like,  I'm super, super excited, grounded and emotional in this moment and present because this is the narrative of my life and it applies everywhere.AndI do this work all the time and. You know, there's parts of my eye. A lot of the times I even, I even call the work hard. Like I make the work hard because I'm like, look how hard I can do it. Look, I'm protecting look. And it's just recreating all these patterns from, you know, the abuse as a kid, the sexual abuse, the physical abuse, the death in the Marine Corps, all that stuff and I've never intentionally Michael: shifted the identity, like it to be hard as you get em, You get more validation when it's hard, because thousand percent of that you could do something. And we love things to be difficult. That's what entrepreneurs sadistic. We like things to be hard. And I can only speak to this because I understand and I've been through it.We want it to be hard cause we feel like we'll get a double reward or a double validation. Wake up. Call is this. You don't get extra credit for being harder. Okay. A win is a win is a win is a win. It depends where you're at. So if you're a basketball or hockey or football, whatever it is, when you win, you won.Whether you beat a good team or not good team, a WCW.A win is a win. We think we get extra credit for doing something more difficult. That's our ego talking. So for a lot of people, we want to find that instead of realizing your job in life, if it's defined to make your life easier than it is not to make it more complicated.So the reason you're doing it is, and then I'm going to explain it, whether you're trying to impress your dad or you're trying to show some how tough you are. Prove a point, whatever. Finally get loved that you never got whatever that story is. And the reason why I hear people starting to use the word trauma, I think about that.It's like that word is so debilitating in a lot of ways, because trauma means permanent scar that cannot be gotten rid of bottom line is like, when I talk about AA, a lot of times, I always say it's step 13 is missing. And step 13 is after you've been sober three, four, five years. Step 13 is I used to live a way that didn't work for me.It's a better way to put it. Step 13 is declaring. I used I'm different now. And really owning that instead of I'm an alcoholic, you've been over 50 freaking years. You don't need to declare an alcoholic at 50 years sober. I think you'll be okay. You've been sober more than you've been drunk, but the point is, and I don't mean no disrespect.They've been around bill W's program for a long time. I don't drink myself, but the point is the why I'm bringing this up to you and why it's important is. Is understanding that we need to leave that where it was, you are not that person anymore. And that's a big piece of the puzzle. A lot of us have to realize it's not March anymore.We're not in lockdown anymore. We just have a different world than the one we had prior and we need to accept things. Aren't the way I want them to be. How long am I going to cry? And then we gotta move on.George: Yeah, man. Yeah. Thank you for that.Michael: I don't know what that does, but it does something good. George: Yeah, of course it does. I mean, I, and just so everybody know, watching or listening, we're on video and I know Michael really well, so I know he's watching everything I do with my body, like leaning in and do it. And this is his absolute mastery, but Michael, one of the things for me is what that simplified for me is I've been in this game for a long time doing this work and having it.And it really always comes down to the simplicity of it. Right. It really, really, we're not getting an extra trophy, but even that just simply really plugging in or, or putting myself into one of those mindsets to observe and see where I am and then creating a different mode is powerful.One thing I did want to ask about, and I think that this is, you said this earlier, but I think it's, it was prevalent for me. So I know it's probably prevalent for other people. When I started as an entrepreneur, my drive for success was to prove I could be it right. I could prove I could do it.And then I made it. And then I kept that belief and I lost a lot of it again, because I felt like I'd lost the fuel. And then a lot of the times for the years, like I was like driven by insecurity. I was driven by fear. I was driven by external validation. And then, you know, there are times in my life where I've been grounded and present and not really knowing how to value myself.And I was afraid and I've had moments of like, in those moments, I don't know what to do. Right. Like what do I do? Where do I go? And. You know, we talked about it with building, but I just think, I don't know. I just don't think this topic is talked about enough in entrepreneurship because it's so easy to live in the hustle culture.That should be cancelled culture. And I just think it needs to be talked about more. So, yeah, I don't, I dunno. I dunno if you have any other thoughts on that. Cause when you said it earlier, you're like, you know, we build something to do it, but then you don't change your identity. Like, Oh, you wanted to create financial freedom, then you did it.You wanted to do this, then you did it. And the thing that I struggled with is that. When I was in those moments.When I started to shift, I felt like I had no fuel. Like, I felt like I had no energy because I didn't know the outcome or the clarity, and I wasn't trying to prove anything anymore. And so I felt, I took me six months, by the way. Like when I walked away from a company before I like really got into flow again, it was like six months of going to Dave and Buster's, this was a 2016, 2016 when I walked away from.Michael: And that's the part people don't get that's okay. We live in this world. We think we have to push all the time. You don't have to be on all the time. That's the part. Most people don't get. You do not have to be on it all the time. so when I talk about this, your original reason for going into business, that's the reason I love that question. I ask people that they tell me, and then I look at them and go, have you achieved that already? Okay, great. Are you willing to stand on top of that now? And build from there. You can always go back that or be willing to stand on. The fact you've already pulled that off. Our reasons for things change. I'll give you an example. Like I had trouble exercising and my mid thirties couldn't figure out why I couldn't do it.I'm an athlete. My whole life played hockey, male life gain in some way, not feeling good. Why can't I exercise? And I realized my original reason for going to the gym was a 16 year, 15 year old boy. I was playing ice hockey, wanted to defend myself. I wanted to impress women. I wanted to look good and I wanted to what was the other reason? I, my buddies did it. And then I'm 35 years old. I don't have any buddies that work out with Madison. I have that right now. I'm going to get a kid, right? Nothing going on there. I attracting other, women's not a good idea when you're married. It's most people that's probably not recommended. We're gonna avoid that.Some people are into that. That's not our thing. I'm beating people up. You go to jail,  when you do that at that point in life. So I couldn't do it. Work out to me, meant something. I say, I'm going to do that. I don't do so in my head, I said, let's go to language. And I started training for a Spartan race.Think of a different spin word train, which is a fresh new word I've never used before. And then there's the word workout. Most people, the word entrepreneur needs to never be used again. I know you want to impress people by it. It means you work hard. It means you think you're special. Stop thinking you're special.It's your issue? Entrepreneur leader leads to the death graveyard of impossibilities and burnout, right? Leads that Gary Vee grind and hustle. I don't want us freaking life making a video every day of the week. I never seen his kids unless he's got a system I don't have. The dude's obsessed with working.George: Glad I'm not the only one that said this. Cause I've said this publicly before, I'm like, well, training your children. That work is more important than them because you never see them. Michael: Yeah. I've been realizing this now. Like I'm working my ass off during this stuff and my kids are home more. I'm like, damn, I, I. I'm not liking, maybe even what I set up for myself. So maybe we need to stopstop calling an entrepreneurship, stop calling a business owners. Cause our connection to those is hard work. Would you does require to get started? I'm talking to the guy, that's been a girl that's been in the game five to seven to 10 years, 15 years, 20 years.I'm not talking to the new newbie, crush it, kill it. Go work as hard as you can get moving for the people that have been in the game a long time. Maybe we need to revaluate what we even call ourselves instead of realizing. I'm building something that allows me to do this, that I'm not a business owner I'm seeking out opportunity.I don't want to be cheesy about it, but like when I ask what your original reason for going to business was to impress people or to prove a point, then you're a decade later, you're looking to do the same thing you've got to, we've got to mature past that. So the part of that is re languaging. It is.So I went from working out to training and now training is not hard. It's something I worked towards and it's got a target. Now I train my body in my mind. George: Well, when it comes back to what we talked about in the beginning, like, what is the first step it's having an outcome, like a clear outcome and you know, back in the day, do personal development, it was like, you, you can't hit your new destination when you're staring at the back of the boat, right?Like you're just going to sink the Titanic. And I went through something similar, by the way, in my mid thirties about like the fitness. Cause I went from this hard Marine CrossFit competitor to all of a sudden I was like, hating the gym, not getting up, eating like crap. And it was, I wasn't, I was trying to out-train my past instead of like, Looking at something that I wanted to accomplish.And I think at super they're what Mike McCollough, cause it, you might appreciate this. He says you're never allowed to call yourself an entrepreneur for the same reasons, call yourself a shareholder. He's like, because your performance and your payment is directly tied to the success of your company, where your hands are in.And I think it's a really, really novel point.to not own those labels and to not carry those around. Right. And so that one was distinction for me. That's funny because I've probably met 300 people since I read that book and I've said like, Oh, what are you doing? An entrepreneur? Ah, I'm a shareholder.And they're like, all right. And I still correct myself and it feels like the word entrepreneur is like toxic tongue for me at this point. And I haven't like broken the habit because it was a really powerful label for me. I was like, look, I'm the only person in my family that didn't end up on drugs dead or in an addiction facility.And I own things. And so, you know, like there was a part of me until probably 36 years old that just wanted, when anybody from home, like people, I don't talk to her. If that magical Facebook friend adds me 25 years later and they ask her, see what I do. I'm like, look, I fucking made it. I showed you. And. At the same time.It wasn't really doing anything for me. I wasn't spending more time Michael: Here's the cool part. This is why I married the right woman. My wife would look at me. Of course, you made something now, what are you going to do? So that's, my wife would say, so if you, if you actually saw you for what you were you wouldn't be impressed by what you've done yet.George: Five, seven Michael: big. Do you play George: about six 10? Michael: You sure. Are you sure? You're not playing five one compared to other people? You're sure you're not playing five one. Compared to what you're capable of in your heart, how big you play, and maybe you got it wrong  Are you at sales? How good are you at sales?George: Really good. Michael: Okay. Compared to Bobby Axelrod and billions, how good are you at sales? Geoge: On a scale of one to 10? Like a three.Michael: Okay. So my question is why do we keep on telling ourselves we're tens? Our biggest issue in life is we think we're great. That's our biggest fuck-up.George: Why are you the greatest in the world? That language. Michael: One of the greatest and that that's a specific marketing. Kidding. I'd love you and I, what? No, let, let let's, let's let's really play with that for a minute. I leave that for marketing purposes and for belief systems, but then I'd have to regulate myself so that I know I just said that, but I need to get you to own that total at the boutique, in the area of my life.So now here's the deal I've been working on it 20 years. You know what I mean? I've been at this a long time, 23 years old. I started in 43 next week. The point is, the point is why I'm bringing this up is you got to realize all of us, I sat down with a sales guy, how good are you at sales? He goes, I'm great.What'd you make? Last year? I made 92,000. Great compared to how much you want to make. How good are you? I guess I'm not that great. So the point is if all of us recognize we're not as good as we think we are your day or life changes. Is when you accept, you're not where you want to be. Yeah. That is the most beautiful thing.So I learned that you live in the life you have when you were in the Marines that I don't want to do this anymore. You said I don't want to be here anymore. What else do I want to be? An entrepreneur? Never thought it through. Started building a box, made an identity. I'm an entrepreneur. I struggle got some people that are gonna cheer you on.You built your box. I call it your average. You built this box for your life, but everything you want is outside of it. So there's three ways to get where you want to go. I'll give it to you. Real simple. Number one, build a ladder. Get out of where you're at. It's very hard, but build a ladder. Good luck.Learning how to build a ladder with any wood. Number two, lower your head, try to get through the wall. That's what we do. Doesn't work. Number three, let somebody help you very hard. And number four is outgrow the wall and how you outgrow it is by working on becoming honest. And here's why I say this is if you actually would look in the mirror and yeah, I'm not as good as I think I am and I'm okay.Actually capable of, but I'm actually capable of 10 times more. That gives you room to grow and it makes unlimited possibilities and massive insecurity in the same breath. But how cool is that? Your insecurity is that you're capable. You just don't know how, and then all you gotta do is figure out how to grow again. That's my, that's my excitement.George: No, I love it. And two things cause everybody listening Michael, I've spent a lot of time in person together and I love going back and forth, but  in full disclosure, there's a lot of times that I hang my current value on my past achievement. And that keeps me small.And it keeps me in that box of average or comfortable. And so like, I love this conversation. I appreciate it because there's been some big shifts even as of late, like different levels of noticing that and where I can improve. And it's funny because for the first time ever, I've brought an outside help, like four people better than me and all of these areas that are helping me get there, coaching me and building with me.But one of the things that you just said, and you said this earlier, and it's been an open loop for me that I want to close.  One of the things that I caught subtly is when you were talking about, about language. I forgot the two words you used, but you just used another one of insecurity.And my immediate go to is noticing how there's no negative meaning on the word. It means opportunity. It means possibility. And there were two other ones you used earlier, too. But even in that moment, I found myself when you said insecurity getting uncovered from like, Oh, I don't want to be insecure.I'm like, no, I do, because it's Michael: what is insecure on country. Think of the word. Let's just go to the word. Let's think all the meaning out of it. What does it mean insecure? I'm not secure about it yet. I

Who doesn't love a modern day intellectual gladiator battle?! Showtime's Billions pits corrupt Hedge fund guru Bobby Axelrod against the Blue Blooded Pit Viper District Attorney Chuck Rhoades and lets us sit back and enjoy as the sparks fly! The show has a unique spin on the spy vs spy angle we all love so dearly! So come along as I dissect this mental chess match of the wealthy elite in a fun, quotable show that is endlessly rewatchable!

Billions... again!Diesmal besprechen wir nicht nur eine, sondern gleich zwei Staffeln! Viel Spaß!

Bobby Axelrod

One of my favorite shows over the last 5 years is Billions.   Bobby Axelrod (brilliantly played by Damien Lewis), is a multi billionaire hedge fund titan and one of the lead characters in the series.   He’s a ruthless self-proclaimed “carnivorous monster” who will break laws and burn cities…   …so long as he wins.   And Bobby wins…a lot.   But when he wins…its almost exclusively at the expense of something or someone else.   Like a parasite, Bobby only gets bigger by consuming, destroying or pillaging to feed his own appetite.   As a TV show character Bobby Axelrod is fascinating.   As a human being in real life, he’d be a deplorable threat to society.   And yet, there are plenty of mini real-life Bobby Axelrods running around, capturing the admiration of others…   …primarily because of how narrowly we define “success.”   Shows like Billions get me thinking:   Why is our definition of success so narrow?   Why do we celebrate coaches who win, but treat players like disposable widgets? Why do we celebrate a business magnate who ignores his family? Why do we celebrate financial success when it comes at the expense of health?    In today’s episode I dive deeper into these questions…   …and provide a new definition of success, worthy of a Great Man.

Both men use their intelligence, power and influence to outmaneuver the other in this battle over billions. The high-profile cast is led by Emmy winners Paul Giamatti ("John Adams") and Damian Lewis ("Homeland") as Chuck Rhoades and Bobby Axelrod, respectively.
