Podcasts about boostagrams

Podcasting features are ever evolving We delve into the intriguing concept of the value time split. This episode is dedicated to exploring how individuals and organizations allocate their time between tasks that generate immediate value and those that promise long-term benefits. How this affects productivity, innovation, and personal growth. Join us as we unravel the complexities of the value-time split, whether you're a business leader, entrepreneur, or just someone looking to make the most out of every minute, this episode promises to offer valuable perspectives on managing one of our most precious resources: time. Today's Hosts: Todd Cochrane and Mike Dell We have rolled out some new Podcasting 2.0 features and improved some of them. We are going to go over some of the new stuff we have added to Blubrry Publisher, PowerPress and Podcast Mirror. Value Time Split Value Time Split is a way to switch out the V4V for a segment of your episode. So if you are doing an interview with another podcaster or playing music that is V4V enabled, you can set the time of that segment and during that segment, you can give another person some of the streaming sats or Boostagrams. Then when that segment is finished, it reverts back to the V4V settings you have on the show normally. Podroll / Remote Item Podroll is very similar to the old Blog Roll. This is a way to promote other podcasts in your feed. This one was at the show level. You promote shows (not episodes) Remote item is a way to put episodes from other shows in your feed that can be shown on some of the new podcast apps (podcastapps.com) Block Block has always been there for just Apple Podcasts. We have improved it by adding it to all platforms. So if you want to discourage a particular app from pulling your feed, you can set it to Block in your feed. Frequency: Podcast Mirror We have added Podcasting 2.0 to the Podcast Mirror service. This allows you to get some of the channel-level features even if your podcast hosting company does not support it. It also allows you to use 3rd party stats even if your host doesn't support it. https://podcastmirror.com Not Podcasting 2.0 related, but we did release Blubrry Premium podcasting as a one-time add-on to your hosting plan. This allows you to charge for extra content, Early access or ad-free versions of your show. Very similar to Apple Subscriptions, if fact you can do BOTH on Blubrry.

It's a wild and crazy world out there. So we'll be going over our ideas on how to tune it out and find some tranquility.In Episode #340 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: Ryan Holiday's book called 'Stillness Is The Key', Juan's definition involving external influences, a lack of stillness whilst reading a book about it (lol), tech distractions and why it's ok to let some vices remain untouched, 3 particular chapters worthy of note and why you need to be able to say enough (or genug in German).Legendary shoutout to McIntosh for supporting the show this week. A ray of sunshine in an otherwise sad puppy vibe :(As always, we hope you enjoy.

It's a slightly uncomfortable topic this week as we're examining our worst habits and how we deal with them.In Episode #338 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: why my backsliding required I bring this up, examples from each of us in where we are failing, how our minds are quite different, why there is no one-stop solution to fix all bad habits, the need to realise when it's a harmless habit and why it can contain a masochistic tinge of saying 'fuck it, I don't care' when in reality you do care.Huge props to Mr Dave Jones (twice!) and Baz for supporting the show this week.

A solo episode this week because Juan's life principle is to go travelling Tasmania. Also just realised that the thumbnail is slightly clickbaity as I'm not going to fight for any of these. Apologies but I'm too lazy to change it, plus I like the pink and white colours.In Episode #336 of 'Musings' I discuss: why these differ from ethical principles, a get out of jail-free caveat, why change is frustrating and maddening, how the world will break you if you're not careful, why in the future money will be connected directly to consciousness and why you need to consume things carefully! Vielen dank to Borsengelaber, Petar The Chapter Art Lover and McIntosh, Vergelt's Gott!As always, we hope you enjoy.

It's one of my favourite sessions because my yearly goals are kicking off at the start of October.In Episode #334 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: what Juan thinks I'll be focusing upon, why I only have 8 goals every year, the murkiness of lack of definition for this year, why I haven't included any numbers to be striving for, aiming for 80% handstands and 20% calisthenics, the fitness challenge to get a One Arm Handstand & strong pressing movements and the desire for spontaneity and living in the present moment.A huge thanks to Dave, Petar and anonymous, you're all essential in keeping this party rolling!As always, we hope you enjoy.

What are you most deeply held ethical boundaries?In Episode #332 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: why we had a recent enforced break, the Generational Wealth With Cryptocurrency podcast, why we both are wary of money coming from sponsorship or advertising, topics of conversation that wouldn't be talked about, why I won't be fighting in any ways, Juan's requirements to be fit and achieve his goals, why I try to never tell a lie and the reasons we hold all these views.A huge thanks to Petar the Philosopher, Dave Jones and our mystery streamer.

We've talked about the topic of 'regret' before but wanted to get more personal this time and share some insights from our own lives.In Episode #330 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: my one-off jackass comment as a kid, why smashing out huge deadlifts maybe isn't a great idea, how regret can pile up later in life as your actions become magnified, why I find it easier to forgive stupid shit I did before 20 years old, how deep fears need to be conquered to avoid regret and a long spiel on our ethics.A huge thanks to Petar the Podcast Listener and Dave Jones for supporting the show.

I can give you a sneak peak, we're roughly about 80% good at completing our tasks.In Episode #328 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: our overall impression on how we went last year, why I didn't want to find a partner and Juan didn't want to run, the importance of setting a manageable number of goals, my conquering of my discomfort dancing and keeping things vague if you're unsure of your exact plan.A huge shoutout to Dave Jones, danigamb1310, jimsiefert & Joey Broadshoulders for supporting the podcast.

We had a lot of people sending in messages (because I did a thing) and I also realised that I'm done with philosophy for a while.In August 2022 we covered 3 books on this channel (but I also threw in a cheeky small one just for this recap). My favourite of the bunch was easily Camus's book. I drew a lot of parallels between this and my fav book of all time (George Orwell's '1984').I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

I've been disappointed with my reading of philosophy books over the last year, so here are the reasons why.In Episode #326 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: my loose definition of philosophy and philosophers, why I came in with high expectations, whether you should be able to read a book as a stand alone, linking deep ideas back to reality, Interlingua and how a lot of philosophy can be semantics, a list of all the books I read over this last year and some thoughts on being too dumb to understand.A big thanks to TheBigCheese, Rastacalavera, This Is The Future and Joey Broad Shoulders for supporting the show.

Ever since astronomers figured out that the stars in the sky are just like our sun, they began wondering if those stars had planets just like our sun.  For centuries this remained an unanswerable question. Telescopes and techniques weren't advanced enough to get an answer one way or another. Eventually, however, astronomers developed methods to detect if there were planets outside of our solar system, and when they did, they found them everywhere.  Learn more about exoplanets, planets that orbit around other stars, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
