Most of us spend our days replaying the past or bracing for what's next, but how often do we fully experience what's happening right now?   Dr. Andrew Fix breaks down the power of presence and why learning to stay in the moment can change the way we move through life. Watching his one-year-old son play, he noticed something striking—kids don't dwell on yesterday or stress about tomorrow. They just are. Adults, on the other hand, get caught in cycles of reflection that can keep us stuck. We overanalyze what's behind us, anticipate what's ahead, and miss the only time that actually matters: the present.   Why is it so hard to stay focused on what's in front of us? Dr. Fix explores that challenge and offers practical ways to shift your mindset. He shares why small, everyday moments—like a conversation over dinner or a quiet pause in your day—hold more power than we realize. Stress will always be part of life, but our purpose is shaped by what we choose to focus on.   This episode is an invitation to pay attention. To be where your feet are. To engage fully in the moments that matter most.   Quotes “Kids only know one thing, right? One-year-olds, they only know how to be present, right? Like they're not worrying about the past. They're not thinking ahead to what's happening in the future. But as adults, that's what we do, right? We dwell on things that happened in the past. We worry about things that are coming up in the future. And we're not always good at just focusing on the present moment.” (03:05 | Dr. Andrew Fix)  “The only moment that any of us can affect right now is this one that we are in right now.” (03:31 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “We are human beings, not human doings, right? And yes, we need to reflect and think about the things that happened in the past. And we need to reflect on those. And we need to plan and anticipate and prepare ourselves for the things that are coming up in the future. But that doesn't mean we need to dwell on them.” (03:43 | Dr. Andrew Fix)  “Whether that's you're out to dinner with a friend or a loved one, be there, be in that conversation. Don't be worried about what's on your phone.” (04:30 | Dr. Andrew Fix)  “Sometimes you get through that. And then you have bigger things that come up in the future. And then you look back on those things that happened in the past that at the time felt enormous and they really feel small, right? They feel insignificant compared to the things you're going through now.” (05:13 | Dr. Andrew Fix)    Links Book: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/stillness-is-the-key-ryan-holiday/1130068915?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&st=AFF&SID=www.barnesandnoble.com&2sid=Brass+Check_8445061_NA&sourceId=AFFBrass+Check&cjevent=c29fe78af37b11ef801f006b0a1cb828&dpid=tekz25v83#/   SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS   Movemate:

Read our book, The Score That Matters https://amzn.to/3uWB1pQ Full Show Notes at www.LearningLeader.com Notes: “If it can't be grown, it must be mined. It's a truth of human progress.” The story of Burro Schmidt… He spent 38 years hand-digging a tunnel through a ½ mile of solid granite even though 19 years in, they built a road that made his tunnel obsolete. But he found his purpose and wanted to finish the job. Some may think that's crazy, but I admire people like that. Be Your Own Light - "I don't look for hope. I look for evidence." Seek Awe - Understand your smallness in the world and how it's all interconnected. Read the "Thank You Project" by AJ Jacobs. "We love to see people who have found their purpose." There are long-term consequences of short-term thinking. Robert Greene's advice to Brent - Combine your unique and different skill sets to find your purpose. Brent dedicated his book to his parents, Liz and Bill, and sister Laura. I appreciate Brent's outlook on life and permitting yourself to live a life of adventure and to think BIG. You can still wisely do this. Brent still works a day job with the Daily Stoic but is also taking a big swing at the same time. This is an option that is available for most of us. It's on us to take action and do it. I've known Brent for about a decade. In his previous role with Brass Check (that's Ryan Holiday's marketing company), one of his jobs was to get authors on podcasts. And I love how precise Brent was in his outreach. He never sent me an author unless he had done the work ahead of time to ensure they were a good fit for my show. I appreciate the care he puts into his work and has for a long time. "When I think back 4 years, before Cerro Gordo, life was pretty stable. I had a good job, a solid apartment, and friends. It felt like a life that I could have floated through forever. I just kept feeling like I was missing out on...something. Something to grab my attention and not let go. To avoid, as Thoreau said, a life of “quiet desperation.” ⁣A lot has changed since then. Life certainly isn't comfortable. There were 3 feet of snow to shovel before I could get to the outhouse this morning. There have been fires, floods, and earthquakes. I've lost too much weight, friends, partners, money. A lot more. I wouldn't change a thing. I feel fulfilled in a way I never knew was possible. Building something real that I care about. Connected to my work, the world, the past. Meeting so many passionate people who care deeply about the same things. ⁣" Get To Work – JP Morgan said every man has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason… The siren song of Cerro Gordo, a desolate ghost town perched high above Death Valley, has seduced thousands since the 1800s, but few fell harder for it than Brent Underwood, who moved there in March of 2020, only to be immediately snowed in and trapped for weeks. It had once been the largest silver mine in California. Over $500 million worth of ore was pulled from the miles of tunnels below the town. Butch Cassidy, Mark Twain, and other infamous characters of the American West were rumored to have stayed there. Newspapers reported a murder a week. But that was over 150 years ago. Brent Underwood bet his life savings—and his life—on this majestic, hardscrabble town that had broken its fair share of ambitious men and women. What followed were fires, floods, earthquakes, and perhaps strangest, fame. Ghost Town Living tells the story of a man against the elements, a forgotten historic place against the modern world, and a dream against all odds—one that has captured millions of followers around the world. After graduating from Columbia University, Brent worked briefly for an investment bank in New York City. After one month, he quit and backpacked across Central and South America. Upon returning to New York, he founded a hostel in Brooklyn. In December 2014 Brent founded HK Austin, a hostel in Austin, Texas after staying in 150 hostels across 30 countries. For 2015, HK Austin was the highest-rated hostel in the United States. “I'm not going to call it a ghost town anymore. I'm going to call it home.”

When we enquire by what means this wonder is effected, we shall find, that, as Force is always on the side of the governed, the governors have nothing to support them but opinion. It is therefore, on opinion only that government is founded; and this maxim extends to the most despotic and most military governments, as well as to the most free and most popular. The soldan of Egypt, or the emperor of Rome, might drive his harmless subjects, like brute beasts, against their sentiments and inclination: But he must, at least, have led his mamalukes, or prætorian bands, like men, by their opinion.DOUGLAS QUOTE: But a change has now come over the affairs of mankind. Walled cities and empires have become unfashionable. The arm of commerce has borne away the gates of the strong city. Intelligence is penetrating the darkest corners of the globe. It makes its pathway over and under the sea, as well as on the earth. Wind, steam, and lightning are its chartered agents. Oceans no longer divide, but link nations together. From Boston to London is now a holiday excursion. Space is comparatively annihilated. -- Thoughts expressed on one side of the Atlantic are distinctly heard on the other.The far off and almost fabulous Pacific rolls in grandeur at our feet. The Celestial Empire, the mystery of ages, is being solved. The fiat of the Almighty, "Let there be Light," has not yet spent its force. No abuse, no outrage whether in taste, sport or avarice, can now hide itself from the all-pervading light.SELECTED WIMBERLY QUOTES: - Most individuals are quick to note that they are no dupes and harbor many suspicious and critical thoughts about propaganda. But, in trying to evaluate the impact of propaganda, it has to be remembered that propagandists have almost no interest in the individual. Propagandists focused on mass subjectivities—human beings in their collective social relationships and actions. It is perfectly possible that an individual might feel as an individual that she is critical and little impacted by propaganda: after all, does not she know that it is all smoke and mirrors? However, what we are judging is not what the individual thinks but what the public does. An individual may think whatever she wants, but if in her collective actions (e.g., as an 18- to 34-year-old television watcher, an automobile consumer, or a corporate or university worker) she acts in the collective fashion the propagandists create (e.g., watches the television, buys a nice midsized SUV, or completes the university administration–mandated course assessment work), then what do the rebellious thoughts of the individual matter to the propagandist who is measuring TV viewership, automobile sales, or how well a university serves its core customer base? Put otherwise, the propagandist seeks to forge mass subjectivities, which it calls the publics, to carry out the conduct their clients want, not to focus on the beliefs of individuals: “Very frequently propaganda is described as a manipulation for the purpose of changing ideas or opinions… . This is completely wrong… . The aim of modern propagandist is no longer to modify ideas, but to provoke action.”If the terms of mass subjectivities, large groupings of psychologically bonded individuals, give no room for those individual rebellions to crystallize into collective social action but instead reliably lead to the conduct corporations want, then one can perfectly well feel as an individual untouched, critical, or even radicalized but nonetheless still remain massively governed. In fact, isn't it all the better that individuals believe themselves ungoverned, critical, and unaffected if that results in complacency and a lack of motivation for action? The point is that the thoughts of the individual and the conduct of the publics have to be distinguished: though one might feel critical as an individual, the question is how social and public relationships of subjects are constituted and conduct themselves. If a radical still buys the dress, movie ticket, or 12-piece dinner set, what does it matter that it is a radical who buys it when there is no room for that radicalism to manifest itself in the public? Propagandists would tell us that the appropriateness of the language of subjectification versus modification has to be judged at the level of the conduct of the public, not at the level of the thoughts of the individual.- Certainly, authors like Stanley (epistemological interpretation) and Marcuse (ideological interpretation) are both correct insofar as propaganda does lie and repress. However, I will argue that these functions are subsidiaries of a much more threatening function of propaganda: its ability to shape human beings' “body and soul and spirit” in the quest to produce the relationships that would sustain corporate growth.1The stakes in misinterpreting propaganda are high. If you take propaganda to present a problem of belief, then the solution is to replace false belief with true. If you take propaganda to be ideological, covering over true human desire with false and destructive desires, then the solution is to recover true desire and banish the chimera of the false. Both of these ways of interpreting propaganda place true belief or true desire as the untouched savoir of contemporary life; the true remains present and unaltered whatever the deceptions propagandists foment and it is the critic's job to recover them. But if the aim of propaganda is to produce new subjects who will cooperatively and spontaneously adopt the wanted relationships with corporations, then there is no going back: the subject is not deceived but transformed, and the task of combatting propaganda will not be best conceived as a project of enlightenment but of subjectivation. The future will have to be created by producing new subjects and not through recovering what has been supposedly hidden but is better described as lost. Without grasping the impact of propaganda, attempts to counter it are unlikely to be effective.- For instance, when Bernays wanted to get women to smoke Lucky Strikes, he had to change not only the image of cigarettes but also the self-image of the women who would smoke them. Bernays and psychoanalyst A. A. Brill determined that women would smoke if cigarettes if women viewed themselves as crusaders for liberation and the cigarette was positioned as a symbol of equality, freedom, and pleasure. To get women to smoke, Bernays guided women into thinking of smoking as an act of defiance and empowerment that would make them revolutionaries. Every woman could conceive of herself as contributing to women's liberation, just by smoking a Lucky Strike. Bernays kicked off this campaign on Easter Sunday in 1929, when he recruited women to break the law against public smoking by women in New York by smoking Lucky Strikes in the Easter Day Parade. He used this symbolic gesture to link smoking to the liberation of choice, pleasure, and voice and as an act of resistance against patriarchy. Feminist Ruth Hale encouraged women to join in, saying, “Women! Light another torch of freedom! Fight another sex taboo!”72 The aim was to get women to regard themselves and cigarettes differently such that women would form the relationship to cigarettes that Lucky Strike wanted (e.g. as avid and fierce consumers)...Bernays wanted to redirect drives—the true drives—to point at new ends; he did not falsify desires but rechanneled them from their source. He created objects of desire as true as any by working with their unconscious sources. Thanks to our monthly supporters Michael de Nijs ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In Trust Me, I'm Lying, Ryan Holiday reveals the media manipulation tactics he used as Marketing Director of American Apparel, and for his PR clients. Meanwhile, he exposes the inner workings of a modern media machine in which incentives make it impossible for the version of reality depicted in the media to come close to resembling the truth. I think it's Holiday's best book, and one of the best media studies books. So, here, in my own words, is my Trust Me, I'm Lying summary. Yes, this book is about lying Before Ryan Holiday became known as an author of modern stoicism books, he dropped out of college at nineteen to apprentice under 48 Laws of Power author, Robert Green. He later was the marketing director for American Apparel, and now has a PR agency, Brass Check, where he advises corporate clients and authors. As the title of the book suggests, the tactics Holiday confesses to might make your skin crawl. They involve deliberate provocation, bribery, impersonation, and – since it's called Trust Me, I'm Lying – making stuff up. But everyone should read it This may turn people off to the book, but if you're an author, marketer, entrepreneur, musician, filmmaker, or comedian, you're in the business of trying to get your message into the world. So, ignore this book at your own peril. The people with whom you compete for attention are using these tactics. Understanding these tactics is a good way to understand the mechanics of media. You can use this knowledge to get your message out in less nefarious ways (more on that later). And, if you're someone who thinks it's your duty to read the news, to “stay informed,” you owe it to yourself to read this book. But be prepared to have that belief challenged, and your conception of reality altered. Media is a “racket” Holiday describes the modern media system as a “racket,” the word which Major General Smedley D. Butler once used to describe war. He defined it as something “where only a small group of insiders know what's really going on and they operate for the benefit of a few and at the expense of basically everyone else.” Journalists are poor, busy, and desperate for a story The main insider in the modern media system is the journalist, more generally, a “blogger,” who might be someone writing articles for a small blog, or even a major media outlet such as the Huffington Post. Holiday uses “blogger” and “journalist,” interchangeably, and I will, too. Journalists are poor To help you understand the motivations of many of these journalists, Holiday points out this: They might have gone to an expensive grad school, and now live in a big, expensive city, such as NYC, San Francisco, or Washington D.C. They've been close enough to taste a $200,000-a-year journalism job. But now they're churning out articles at a breakneck pace, without even getting health insurance. Meanwhile, the people they cover are rich and successful, and may include talentless reality TV stars. New York magazine called the result “the rage of the creative underclass.” Journalists are busy These bloggers have to write a face-melting amount of content. When journalist Bekah Grant left VentureBeat, she wrote a post saying she averaged five posts a day – more than 1,700 articles in twenty months. Henry Blodget, founder of Business Insider, said his bloggers need to generate three times their salary, benefits, and overhead costs to be worth hiring. So, an employee making sixty-thousand dollars a year needs to produce 1.8 million page views a month, every month. (1.8 million page views is a lot. At my current traffic, it takes me about a decade to generate that much on my blog, and I make more than sixty-thousand dollars a year.) Journalists are desperate for a story Most sites that journalists write for make their money from ads, and the way to make money from ads is to generate page views. As such, many journalists are paid by the page view. I've personally heard this from a friend who worked for a newspaper with a good reputation, covering news for a major city. So, journalists are desperate for a story that will generate page views. So, if you give them a juicy story that will generate page views, they will generally publish it. They're too busy to fact check it, and since they're compensated by the page view, they aren't motivated to care whether or not it's true. Readers want to be entertained, and don't care what's true So you've got poor, busy, and desperate journalists paid by the page view, and the people they're writing for want to be entertained. Negativity attracts attention In 2010, Jonah Berger analyzed 7,000 articles from the New York Times' most-emailed list. He found that the best predictor of virality was: how much anger does the article evoke? Increasing the anger rating of an article had two-and-a-half times the impact of increasing its positivity rating. The human mind is irresistibly attracted to negativity. When subjects of a study were shown footage of war, airplane crashes, and natural disasters, they paid more attention and remembered more than non-negative footage. Corrections don't work Negativity attracts page views, so journalists want juicy stories, and don't care if they're true – and neither do readers, it seems. One study found that when people were shown a fake article with a correction at the bottom, they were more likely to believe it than those who saw an article without a correction. (Note from me: this finding hasn't been consistent across other studies. (Is that a correction you believe?) In any case, people's beliefs are still resistant to contrary facts.) Despite this, online news outlets are financially motivated to publish stories, whether they're true or not. A Gawker reporter once said, “Gawker believes that publicly airing rumors out is usually the quickest way to get to the truth,” going on to say, “Let's acknowledge that we can't vouch for the veracity or truth of the rumors we'll be sharing here.” Journalists are motivated to publish false stories, and, as Holiday points out, “While the internet allows content to be written iteratively, the audience does not read or consume it iteratively.” In other words, they see the story, not the correction. Media manipulation strategy: Trading up the chain Holiday shares nine media manipulation tactics in the book, but they all essentially serve the strategy that Holiday calls, “trading up the chain.” And trading up the chain is something you can do, even without lying. The chain Here's how it works: Get coverage on smaller outlets. Those stories then get covered on mid-level outlets. Finally, major outlets pick up stories from the mid-level outlets. Smaller outlets can be individual blogs, social media, or local websites that cover a neighborhood or scene. Mid-level outlets are blogs of newspapers or local television stations. They can also be “sister sites” of bigger outlets, so they might be affiliated with Newsweek, or CBS. Major outlets are the big ones, like the New York Times, CNN, or The Today Show. It's easy to get coverage on the small outlets It's easy to get coverage on smaller outlets, Holiday says. If there's a bigger outlet on which you want coverage, review stories for patterns. What are the stories about? Is there a smaller outlet where stories consistently show up before stories on the bigger outlet? The smaller the outlet, the less they fact-check Holiday says the smaller an outlet is, the less they fact check. This is where the lying comes in. Holiday confesses to creating fake email accounts to send tips to bloggers, leaking fake internal memos, and having his assistant pose as him over email and even over the phone. You don't even have to start with the small outlets. Holiday says he successfully “conned” reporters from Reuter's, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, The Today Show, and the New York Times. Using HARO, or “Help a Reporter Out” – which is an email list reporters use to find story sources – he found journalists who were looking for experts on various subjects. Holiday isn't an expert on, say, vinyl record collecting, but these reporters were presumably on deadlines, and so not inclined to fact check. Holiday says he did it as a stunt to prove how ridiculous he thinks HARO is, and points out that even after he publicly embarrassed these outlets, they continue to use the service. Subprime truth One of my favorite observations from the book is that the fuzziness of truth in the media is like the subprime mortgage crisis. During the subprime mortgage crisis, banks sold loans to other banks, who sold those to other banks. These loans were rated by ratings agencies that were overwhelmed, and driven by conflicts of interest. One example of false information in the media Holiday seized upon was when a journalist misinterpreted the Wikipedia page of Holiday's client, Tucker Max. Holiday had written Max's page to show that his book had been on the New York Times best-seller list for some period of time in each of three consecutive years. The journalist apparently read that, then wrote a story saying Max's book had been on the best-seller list for three years. That was wrong, but Holiday ran with it, updating the Wikipedia page to say Max's book had, indeed, been on the list for three years, citing the incorrect article as proof. (The Wikipedia page has since been corrected.) Like the subprime mortgage crisis, in the news media, overwhelmed and conflicted reporters write stories, which are then picked up by other overwhelmed and conflicted reporters. In Balaji Srinivasan's second appearance on the Tim Ferriss show, which I summarized on episode 274, he describes how a different kind of chain could ensure verifiable truth gets traded up the chain – in this case, a blockchain. Pseudo-events By getting a story into one outlet, then “trading up the chain” to get it covered in another, you're creating a “pseudo-event.” If you remember my summary of The Image on episode 257, author Daniel J. Boorstin describes pseudo-events as fake events that are deliberately placed in the news, so that they become real. Holiday created a lot of pseudo-events for Max when his movie based upon his book, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, was debuting. He bought ads in newspapers around the country, then sent anonymous complaints to the newspapers, leaking those complaints to blogs, to get coverage. He notified college LGBT and women's rights groups of screenings, so they would protest at theaters and the nightly news would cover it. He bought a billboard, defaced it, and reported it to journalists to get news coverage. It seems almost certain that the Russian Internet Research Agency read Holiday's book. They spent many years – and probably still are – hacking public opinion in the U.S. and in other countries, creating Facebook pages for various causes, “astroturfing” those pages with activity from fake profiles, then using that influence make real-life events happen. For example, in 2016 they organized opposing protests – one through the Facebook group, “Heart of Texas,” the other for “United Muslims of America” – at the same time, on the same day, across the street from each other. Trading sensationalism up the chain for free advertising Holiday says his “leveraged advertising strategy” of running sensational ads for American Apparel just to get news coverage was responsible for 50% growth in online sales in three years with “a miniscule ad budget.” He says he deliberately designed ads that would inspire outrage: dressing up kids like adults, putting clothes on dogs, or writing ad copy that didn't make sense. When he couldn't use some promotional Halloween costume photos, because of copyright concerns, he had one of his employees leak them to Gawker and Jezebel, where they were covered in an article that got ninety-thousand views. He ran ads on small websites, featuring porn actress Sasha Grey, completely nude. The ads were covered by Nerve, Buzzfeed, Fast Company, Jezebel, and more. All this coverage for just $1,200 in ads (though it's not clear how much he paid Grey). He says, “my strategy has always been: If I want to be written about, I do things they have to write about.” This is how, according to Holiday, Donald Trump got $4.6 billion of free publicity during his presidential campaign. Pseudo-events for reputational damage control Because of the way the media works, Holiday says if a client of his is in trouble, the best strategy is to create what's essentially a pseudo-event. A major newspaper wrote a hit piece on a client of Holiday's. The journalist who wrote the hit piece was also running a hate blog about the client's company on the side. The client complained to the journalist's editor, but they didn't seem to care. So, Holiday advised his client to write an internal memo to his company, then forward that memo to a competing outlet, which published an article with the memo. The memo was apparently quite damning, because the original newspaper had no choice but to respond. Because bloggers aren't incentivized to care about the truth, and readers are attracted to drama, Holiday says there's no point in trying to correct something that's been said about you in the media. If you want to try, he says, “be prepared to have to be an obsequious douche. You've got to flatter bloggers into thinking that somehow the mistake wasn't their fault.” Ways of using these tactics that are less...gross I personally can't judge Holiday for using these tactics. The medium is the message; as one of Holiday's chapters proclaims, “everyone else is doing it”; and there's no denying that Holiday is good at getting coverage for himself and his clients. But, I'm probably not the only one uncomfortable with impersonating others and lying to get coverage. You can still learn a lot from Trust Me, I'm Lying. Trade up the chain Trading up the chain is a completely legitimate tactic. If you want coverage somewhere, pay attention to where they get their story ideas, and what stories they like to cover. This applies to influencers, too. I no longer interview people on this podcast, but I get so many pitches that are totally irrelevant. You have a better chance of, say, getting interviewed on a podcast, if you tailor your pitch to the target show. And if you get coverage from a micro-influencer that influences a bigger influencer, you might move up the chain. Be remarkable While anger gets a lot of attention, you don't have to be negative in your marketing. You can instead be remarkable – what Seth Godin calls a Purple Cow. I love the ridiculous book titles of author Chuck Tingle. Are you ready for this? How could you not laugh when you hear the title, Domald Tromp Pounded in the Butt By the Handsome Russian T-Rex Who Also Peed On His Butt And Then Blackmailed Him With the Videos Of His Butt Getting Peed On. Even if you don't buy one of his books, his titles are attention-grabbing and spread. Bread Face Blog makes a living smashing bread with her face. It's so absurd, it has to attract attention. The Instagram algorithm sees that attention, and gets her videos in front of more people. The New York Times had to write about her – how could they not? Create a message for the medium If the medium is the message, create a message for the medium. Whatever you're creating, think about how it spreads through media, whether that's social media, traditional media, or word-of-mouth. Lately, I've been seeing how people on Instagram share highlights of quotes in books. It makes sense to have larger pull quotes in my next book, so they have something pretty to take a picture of. Have you been to a restaurant or event where there's a decorated nook specifically for taking photos and sharing them on social media? Not an accident. While researching Times Square ad space for my own publicity stunt I'm working on, I saw one fact sheet point out that Times Square was “the third-most Instagrammed location in the world.” Point being if you put up an ad there, lots of people bragging to their friends about their trips to New York will spread your ad for you. When I write a title of a book, I ask myself if it passes the “cocktail party test.” How would it feel to tell someone at a cocktail party you're reading a book by this title? Proud and strong? Good. Embarrassed or weak? Bad. Mind Management, Not Time Management is what I call a “turnkey title.” The title alone makes a statement you can use, without reading the book. It helps make it memorable, so it spreads. Create pseudo-events Today's media is increasingly participatory. People are not just consumers of media, but also makers of media. By creating pseudo-events, you can get more out of the media you create. I recently saw a cool video on TikTok, showing the process of making a video that showed the process of making a pizza. I know, meta, right? It's a pseudo-event. The video of them making pizza was made for the media. The video of them making the video making pizza made me think they're really good cinematographers. Of course, they teased the original video at the end of the cinematography video, and I had to go watch it. Many readers of the books I write also write books. So, my KDP income reports are essentially pseudo-events. One reason they exist is, I have a business writing books for people who write books, and they show that I know how to run a business writing books. They attract the attention of people who will like my books. Be careful Trust Me, I'm Lying is a must-read for anyone doing anything with media. But be careful what you do with these tactics. I know I've heard Tucker Max lament the reputation he's gained as a result of the tactics in the book. I've also heard Max say the same for Holiday – that maybe it wasn't such a good idea to write a book that says he's a liar right in the title. As Holiday warns, “if you chase the kind of attention I chased, and use the tactics I've used, there will be blowback.” There's your Trust Me, I'm Lying book summary Not all of the book is tactics. Much of it is more media commentary, with some media history sprinkled in, and some airing of grievances Holiday has with various journalists and media outlets. Despite the damage Holiday may have done to his reputation by writing Trust Me, I'm Lying, I really appreciate the book, and it took guts to confess to the things he did in the book. It's on my list of best media books. About Your Host, David Kadavy David Kadavy is author of Mind Management, Not Time Management, The Heart to Start and Design for Hackers.

In this episode of the podcast, bestselling author Ryan Holiday joins host Joe Buccino to talk about Stoicism and the virtue of courage. Ryan is the author of "Trust Me, I'm Lying," "The Obstacle is the Way," "Ego is the Enemy," and other books about marketing, culture, and the human condition. His works have been translated into more than 30 languages and have made the New York Times Bestsellers list. His most recent book, "Courage is Calling: Fortune Favors the Brave," released earlier this year, explores the essential elements of the foundational Stoic virtue of Courage and its application to military leadership. And, don't worry, if you don't remember Stoicism from your high school philosophy class, host Joe Buccino presents a brief primer during the introduction. Every person on Earth grapples with fear. In fact, Ryan explains, the most repeated phrase in the Bible is “Be not afraid.” The Stoics believed it is natural to feel fear, but it cannot rule you. Courage, as Ryan describes, is the ability to rise above fear, to do what is right, what is needed, and what is true.  In this episode, Ryan explains why it's always remember that your time on Earth is short. He also offers advice on how to conquer fear and act with moral courage while leading Soldiers. In addition to writing all these bestselling books, Ryan also runs DailyStoic.com, a website that offers practical advice on implementing Stoicism into daily life. Further, he runs the company Brass Check, which advises companies such as Google, TASER, and Complex, as well as multiplatinum musicians and some of the biggest authors in the world. This is a great discussion, rich with insights for anyone serving in the military today. The 18th Airborne Corps podcast is the official podcast of the US Department of Defense. Recorded on Fort Bragg, North Carolina with host Joe Buccino, the program features discussions with historians, Soldiers, and leaders, with insight on critical moments in history, life in the military, the latest Department of Defense initiatives, and current events.

Heute spreche ich mit Ryan Holiday, einem der erfolgreichsten Schriftsteller unserer Zeit über Stoizismus, die Pandemie und das Ego von NBA Basketballspielern. Viel Spaß! Was es heute bedeutet, ein Stoiker zu sein Die Philosophie des Stoizismus erlebt gerade eine Art Wiederauferstehung. Denn besonders in Zeiten der Not und Unsicherheit eignet sich die stoische Herangehensweise, um sich in Akzeptanz zu üben, seine Emotionen mit Bedacht einzuordnen und mit Überlegung und Weitsicht zu handeln. In der heutigen Folge der Flowgrade Show darf ich dir mit Ryan Holiday einen der bekanntesten Stoiker der heutigen Zeit präsentieren. Vielleicht ist dir bereits eines seiner zahlreichen Bücher, darunter Das Ego ist der Feind, Das Hindernis ist der Weg, Der tägliche Stoiker oder Das Leben der Stoiker begegnet. In der Folge sprechen wir über die Bedeutung von Stoizismus und was es eigentlich bedeutet, ein Stoiker in der heutigen Zeit zu sein. Wir diskutieren über den Umgang von Marcus Aurelius mit weitreichenden Katastrophen und wie Ryan der aktuellen Pandemie begegnet. Wer ist Ryan Holiday? Ryan Holiday ist Schriftsteller und Medienstratege. Als Ryan 19 Jahre alt war, brach er das College ab, um bei Robert Greene, dem Autor von Die 48 Gesetze der Macht, zu lernen. Nach einer erfolgreichen Marketingkarriere bei American Apparel gründete das Multitalent anschließend eine Kreativagentur namens Brass Check, die sowohl große Firmen wie Google als auch Bestseller-Autoren wie Neil Strauss, Tony Robbins und Tim Ferriss, berät. Dazu ist Ryan der Autor von zehn Büchern, darunter Das Hindernis ist der Weg, Das Ego ist der Feind, Der tägliche Stoiker, Verschwörung, Das Leben der Stoiker und Stille ist der Schlüssel, die sich in dreißig Sprachen mehr als zwei Millionen Mal verkauft haben und regelmäßig von Profi-Coaches, Weltklasse-Athleten, Filmstars, Politikern zitiert werden. Ryan verbringt einen Großteil seiner Zeit auf einer Ranch außerhalb von Austin, Texas, wo ich zwischen der Zucht von Rindern, Eseln und Ziegen mit seiner Frau seine Kinder großzieht, schreibt und arbeitet. Abschnitte der Folge mit Ryan Holiday 04:00 - Die ersten Berührungspunkte für Ryan mit Stoizismus 13:30 - Die Gedanken hinter einem neuen Buchprojekt 16:00 - Ryans Umgang mit Kritik 21:00 - Eine moderne Beschreibung des Stoizismus 25:00 - Wie Markus Aurelius mit einer Pandemie umging 37:00 - Ein gutes Buch zum Start in die Philosophie 39:00 - Ryans Umgang mit dem Ego 46:00 - Lebensbereiche an denen Ryan selbst täglich arbeitet 47:30 - Fehlschlüsse der Stoiker 53:00 - Die ersten Schritte um stoischer zu werden 56:00 - Mit welchem Stoiker Ryan für einen Tag tauschen würde Zitate von Ryan Holiday aus der Folge »Alles, was ich über Marcus Aurelius am Anfang wusste, war, dass er der alte Typ aus dem Film Gladiator war.« »Du musst über das schreiben, über was du nicht nicht schreiben kannst.« »Worüber du schreibst, es muss schmerzhaft sein, solltest du nicht darüber schreiben.« »Meistens bin ich kreativ, um meine eigenen kreativen Impulse zu erfüllen.« »Ich glaube, es ist unmöglich nicht von Kritik betroffen zu sein.« »Wenn dich jemand kritisiert und trifft genau die Sache, die du versuchst zu machen, dann trifft es mich nur nicht als Kritik, sondern es ist sogar ein Kompliment.« »Du versuchst zu einem Punkt zu kommen, wo es ist was es ist außerhalb deiner Sorge.« »Ein Stoiker kann nicht kontrollieren, was ihm passiert, aber wie er darauf reagiert.« »Die letzten Worte von Markus Aurelius waren auch: Weint nicht um mich, denkt an alle, die bereits gestorben sind.« »Eine Pandemie kann das Beste oder das Schlechteste in Jemandem hervorbringen.« »Das Leben ist viel zu kurz, um sich mit Fremden auf Social Media rumzuschlagen.« »Dein Hindernis ist dein Weg oder der tägliche Stoiker sind vermutlich die zwei besten Bücher zum Start.« »Die Arbeit an deinem Ego ist ein wenig wie Staubwischen. Am Anfang ist alles weg, bedeutet aber nicht, dass es nicht wiederkommt. Es ist ein konstanter Prozess.« »Mein Buch “In der Stille liegt die Kraft” ist ein wenig eine Hommage an den Flowstate.« »Ein Großteil der Schriften von Stoikern ist verloren, wir haben nur eine handvoll.« »Die Unterscheidung zwischen was in deiner Macht liegt und was nicht, ist für mich der Beginn des Stoizismus.« Weiterführende Links zur Episode Meditations von Marcus Aurelius übersetzt von Gregory Hays auf Englisch Operation Shitstorm (deutsche Übersetzung von »Believe Me, I'm Lying« von Ryan Holiday Growth Hacker Marketing Das Hindernis ist der Weg von Ryan Holiday The Stoics and Lessons of Hunting (Youtube Video) In der Stille liegt dein Weg von Ryan Holiday Das Leben der Stoiker von Ryan Holiday Der tägliche Stoiker von Ryan Holiday  Dein Ego ist dein Feind von Ryan Holiday  Mit Flowgrade mehr Flow im Leben Die Flowgrade Show mit Max Gotzler wird dir präsentiert von Flowgrade.

„Ego to twój wróg” To słowa, które autor tej książki – Ryan Holiday – wytatuował sobie na prawym przedramieniu. Są dla niego źródłem ukojenia i pokazują drogę, którą nie chcę dążyć w swoim życiu. Drogę samolubnego dążenia, samozachwytu, i trwania w nieracjonalnych przekonaniach tylko dlatego, że nie potrafi się przyznać do błędu. Jak sam tłumaczy w swojej książce, napisał ją nie dlatego że posiadł jakąś wyjątkową mądrość, ale dlatego, że sam chciałby móc ją przeczytać w przełomowych momentach swojego życia. Nie chodzi w niej jednak o to żeby wyprzeć się wszystkiego związanego z naszymi dążeniami, ale by zachęcić i zainspirować do podążania za innymi impulsami. Myśleć trochę mniej o sobie, a trochę więcej o ludziach wokół siebie. Listen to “Ego to Twój wróg – Ryan Holiday” on Spreaker. Kliknij tutaj i przeczytaj całą książkę “Ego to Twój wróg” jest dla Ciebie, jeśli: * Pragniesz w życiu znaczącego sukcesu* Masz wysokie ambicje i stawiasz przed sobą równie ambitne cele* Boli cię, gdy inni wokół ciebie osiągają sukcesy, a ty wciąż jesteś w tym samym miejscu* Często zamykasz się w sobie nie zwracając uwagi na innych* Masz problem z przyznaniem się do błędu bo obawiasz się utraty szacunku “Ego to Twój wróg” nie jest dla ciebie, jeśli: * Masz niskie poczucie własnej wartości* Nie zależy ci na osiąganiu wielkich sukcesów* Twoje życie opiera się na pomaganiu innym i w tym upatruję swojej motywacji* Masz łatwość przyznawania się do błędów i Pokora towarzyszy ci przez większość czasu Chcę jednak zaznaczyć, że jeśli wyjdzie się trochę Ponad słowa autora i ponad to, co pisze w swojej książce, to zobaczymy że ego można rozpatrywać na wielu różnych poziomach. Dzięki temu nawet osoby dla których ta książka nie będzie pomocna w sposób bezpośredni, mogą wyciągnąć z niej lekcje, które pomogą im radzić sobie lepiej w towarzystwie osób o dość wysokim ego. Kim jest Ryan Holiday? Ryan Holiday jest pisarzem i marketerem. W wieku 19 lat rzucił studia i rozpoczął nauki u Robert’a Greene, autora książki “The 48 Laws of Power”. Karierę rozpoczął z przytupem jako marketer w American Apparel, by następnie założyć swoją własną agencję kreatywną Brass Check, która doradzała takim klientom jak Google, TASER, i Complex, jak i wielu autorom bestsellerów, takich jak Neil Strauss, Tony Robbins i Tim Ferriss. Sam jest autorem 10 książek. M.in. Przeszkoda jest drogą, Ego to Twój wróg, Stoicyzm na każdy dzień roku, czy Growth Hacker Marketing, którą omawiałem w ramach tego podcastu. Co wyciągam dla siebie z książki Ego to Twój wróg? Książka podzielona jest na trzy sekcje: dążenie do sukcesu, sukces i niepowodzenia. W każdej z nich są różne przykłady na zwodnicze działania ego i konsekwencje tego, gdy się mu poddamy. Dla każdej z tych sekcji wybrałem bo jednej lek...

My guest today is Ryan Holiday. He’s a writer, media strategist, and the author of ten books. He dropped out of college at 19 years old to apprentice under Ryan Greene, author of Mastery and The 48 Laws of Power. He worked at American Apparel and founded an agency called Brass Check. We begin this episode talking about two stories from Ryan’s book, Stillness is the Key. One is about Michael Jordan and the other is about Winston Churchill. Then we transition into new topics. We talk about the philosophy of stoicism, the benefits and drawbacks of anger, and what Ryan has learned from Peter Thiel. Please enjoy my conversation with Ryan Holiday. -- --  1:32 Winston Churchill – the busiest man in the 20th century: saw the last British Calvary charge, writes 10 million words, holds office for 65 years, elected Prime Minister twice, painted 500 paintings etc. 7:06 Can a change of location effect your relationship to time?   12:37 Writing as zero-to-one and the importance of getting something down in order to gain momentum. 17:02 Michael Jordan’s Hall-of-Fame Speech where we learned how importance anger as fuel and making a career of hanging onto slights was to him. Could Michael Jordan have been Michael Jordan without these characteristics? 20:30 How widespread is anger as fuel to success? Is it the best method and how much correlation is there to someone’s success? 27:20 Anger as a “purity” in our current political landscape. 29:08 Taking a look at the history of change and how the News may not be the best way to stay informed. Is the current understanding of “being informed” is a vice rather than a virtue?   36:20 To be “informed” need to have basis of understanding before interacting with News sources in order to contextualize and not come at news with hubris. Problem of the twitter approach to news: a profession, reporting, that was once about thoughtfulness, nuance, and the long-form has been boiled down to 280 characters.   41:19 Stillness is the Key as part of a trilogy involving Ego is the Key and The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph. This trilogy was what Ryan had always intended to write but had to go through his other books to get where he is now. 46:35 Truly integrating stoicism into his everyday life.   53:18 Peter Thiel’s brain is in a perpetual Mexican standoff where two competing ideas are constantly in opposition. Thiel seems to have a great ability to frame subjects correctly. Eric Weinstein's idea that Thiel is the world's wealthiest applied philosopher. 58:00 Extending Thiel’s First Principles Movement by simply reading different things than what everyone else is reading, gathering different materials. 1:00:02 Is there a danger where reading history becomes the same thing as watching the news? Ryan’s interest in reading personalized experiences of history wherein you can learn through other people’s unique experiences, and more importantly, mistakes.   1:02:25 Ryan’s writing success is owed to him taking the words of smarter people them him, re-arraigning them and repackaging them into a unique system. Does writing always have to be original?    1:05:19 What is it about daily things that is so important to Ryan?   1:10:42 The idea of looking at data that shows what artists believe is their best work and what others believe to be their best work.   1:16:11 How do you know when something is interesting?    1:20:32 How is Ryan such a prolific writer?

3 Books is a completely insane and totally epic 15-year-long quest to uncover the 1000 most formative books in the world. Each chapter is hosted live and in-person at the guest's preferred location by Neil Pasricha, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation. Each chapter of 3 Books uncovers and discusses the three most formative books from one of the world's most inspiring people. Sample guests include: Judy Blume, David Sedaris, Chris Anderson of TED, and the world's greatest Uber driver. Each of the 333 chapters is dropped on the exact minute of every new moon and full moon until September 1, 2031. 3 Books is an Apple "Best Of" award-winning show as well as the world's only podcast by and for book lovers, writers, makers, sellers... and librarians. For more info check out: www.3books.co  Ryan Holiday is a media strategist, father, and bestselling author of seven books including The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego Is the Enemy, The Daily Stoic, and his latest, Stillness Is The Key. Ryan was the former Director of Marketing for American Apparel, and then went on to found his own creative agency, Brass Check, which has advised clients like Google, Neil Strauss, Tony Robbins and Tim Ferriss. Ryan lives outside Austin, Texas where he writes and works in between raising cattle, donkeys and goats.  Chapter Description: Back in 2013 I stumbled on an article online called “How To Read More — A Lot More” by some writer guy on the Internet named Ryan Holiday. I started reading the piece and got sucked into it. He had a point! A great point. Many great points, actually. And he was super young. A young man telling the world to read more books? In an era where most guys read none… or, you know, like three books a year? I found Ryan Holiday to be a complete breath of fresh air. So I immediately began to copy everything he did. He launched a monthly book club. I launched a monthly book club! (With his blessings, of course.) He was talking about reading fifty then a hundred books a year. I started to read five books then ten books then fifty books a year. I started cancelling magazine and newspaper subscriptions and began to consciously put my phone away. I installed a bookshelf at my front door and cancelled cable. And, of course, I started this podcast! In a way 3 Books would not exist without Ryan Holiday. I can trace my rediscovered passion for reading all the way back to this writer guy from the Internet. But he’s not just a writer guy on the Internet anymore. Ryan Holiday has sold over 2,000,000 books (!) and essentially leads the repopularization of stoic philosophy on a mass scale. Some of his books include The Obstacle Is The Way, Ego Is The Enemy, and his brand new book, Stillness Is The Key. Ryan also runs DailyStoic.com, the consulting company Brass Check, and his newest project Daily Dad. He’s become a friend and I have definitely caught his bug. So in Chapter 38 of 3 Books I ask Ryan to share his four most formative books. (You’ll hear why on the show.) He tells us how to decide who to trust, how he got dramatically fired from his first job, and why we shouldn’t turn parenting into a job. I hope you enjoy Chapter 38 with Ryan Holiday. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why should you spoil the endings of books and movies? How do we win the war for attention? Why does the path you take toward a goal matter more than achieving the goal itself? How and why should you not turn parenting into a job? Leave us a voicemail! Your message may be included in a future episode: 1-833-READ-A-LOT.

“CULTIVATE PEOPLE AROUND YOU WHO ARE NOT AFRAID TO TELL YOU YOU THE TRUTH.” Whether you want to admit it or not, you have an ego. Everyone does. We tend to put a bad connotation on it, but in truth a little ego is healthy. Ego can be confidence about yourself and what you do. It can be a challenge if you become successful, because people become afraid of telling you the truth and pointing out your flaws. To keep growing, however, you must surround yourself with people who aren’t afraid to tell you the uncomfortable truths in a polite way. And if you truly respect someone with power over you, you’ll do the same. To go deeper into this, I am bringing back a strong segment from a previous episode with Ryan Holiday. Ryan is a writer and media strategist. When he was 19 years old, he dropped out of college to apprentice under Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power. He went on to become the director of marketing for American Apparel. His creative agency, Brass Check, has advised clients like Google, TASER, and Complex, as well as many prominent bestselling authors, including Neil Strauss, Tony Robbins and Tim Ferriss (and me). He has worked with huge egos in his career, but what I love about Ryan is his willingness to take on his own ego as well. Learn how to control your ego and help those around you on Episode 633. In This Episode You Will Learn: The spectrum of Ego (00:54) Where confidence comes from (1:33) How to continue your growth (3:02) When people stop listening to the truth they need to hear (3:32) How to tell powerful people the truth (5:18) What to do when you’re right (5:48) Plus much more...

On this episode of the podcast Casey interviews Ryan Holiday, who is a strategist and writer. He dropped out of college at nineteen to apprentice under Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power, and later served as the director of marketing for American Apparel. His company, Brass Check, has advised clients like Google, TASER, and Complex, as well as many prominent bestselling authors. Holiday has written four previous books, most recently The Obstacle Is the Way, which has been translated into seventeen languages and has a cult following among NFL coaches, world-class athletes, TV personalities, political leaders, and others around the world.

Bloomberg View columnist Barry Ritholtz interviews writer and media strategist Ryan Holiday. Holiday was 19 years old when he dropped out of college to apprentice under Robert Greene, author of “The 48 Laws of Power.” He went on to become the director of marketing for American Apparel. His creative agency, Brass Check, has advised clients like Google, TASER and Complex, as well as many prominent bestselling authors, including Neil Strauss, Tony Robbins and Tim Ferriss. He is the author of six books, including “The Daily Stoic” and most recently “Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker and the Anatomy of Intrigue.” 

When Ryan Holiday was 19 years old, he dropped out of college to apprentice under Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power. Next, he went on to become the director of marketing for American Apparel (where you might have seen some of the controversial campaigns he produced). Holiday then opened his own creative agency, called Brass Check, where he’s advised clients like Google and Complex, as well as prominent bestselling authors like Neil Strauss, Tony Robbins, James Altucher and Tim Ferriss (he was also Tim’s 4th ever podcast guest). Holiday's the author of six bestselling books, including The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego Is the Enemy, The Daily Stoic and Perennial Seller.  The Obstacle Is the Way has been translated into more than twenty languages and has developed a loyal following among NFL coaches like Bill Belichick and Nick Saban, world-class athletes, TV personalities, political leaders, and many more. Holiday and I sat together in our NYC recording studios to discuss life, business, sports, and the practice of stoicism.  I’m your host Paul Rabil and welcome to “Suiting Up Podcast”, a show where I delve into the stories of some of today’s leading athletes, entrepreneurs, entertainers, and authors, interviewing them, unpacking the psychology of their success, revealing skill sets we can uniquely adopt to improve ourselves.   

Ryan Holiday is an author and media strategist. His career in marketing started at age 19, where he dropped out of college to work with Robert Green. He soon found his way as the director of marketing for American Apparel, then went on to start his own creative agency, Brass Check, who advises the likes of Google, Tim Ferriss, and Tony Robbins. He’s quite the writer, making the New York Times bestseller list with multiple of the 6 books he’s released in the last 5 years. Ryan is a master marketer and what you’ll find at the core of his marketing principles are his personal principles. He applies a Stoic philosophy to everything he does and this episode is overflowing with philosophies, self directed questions, and stories that has helped him make work that stands the test of time, and will help you do the same. In today's episode we discuss: Good marketing isn’t taking pictures or writing copy that sell shoes anymore. It’s just as much about making work that starts a discussion. You’re going to get a little crash course on Stoic philosophy and how to use your own mindset to propel your creative endeavors in three simple but challenging steps. Control your perception, take action, and look forward to the transformation that hardship brings. The two questions you should be asking yourself before starting any creative project are “who is this for?” and “what does this do for them?” If you think long term about the impact that you want to make, it will help you persevere when the going gets tough.

Ryan Holiday got his start helping Tucker Max and now runs Brass Check marketing, which has helped a huge number of clients, including Google and Tony Robbins, market their products. He talks today with Commander Mark Divine about his own books and the Stoic philosophy that underpins them. He also shares his thoughts about marketing and especially book marketing. What will you be able to take from Ryan’s insights, and how you will you be able to use them for yourself?

“[E]go is the enemy of what you want and of what you have: Of mastering a craft. Of real creative insight. Of working well with others. Of building loyalty and support. Of longevity. Of repeating and retaining your success. It repulses advantages and opportunities. It’s a magnet for enemies and errors. It is Scylla and Charybdis.”Ryan HolidayAsk today's guest and he'll tell you our culture is currently mired in an unprecedented epidemic of ego — a societal blight of apocalyptic proportions precipitated by the advent of selfie-crazed social media, self-esteem parenting and spurious self-help gurus fomenting an illusory sense of entitlement.The result is a woefully misplaced celebration of ubiquity over meaningfulness: Of endless distractions over devotion to work ethic. Of self-congratulatory passion over fidelity to process. Of unbridled hubris over humility. And of rampant self-seeking over service.We often equate ego with confidence, self-assuredness and ultimately success. The domain of the great visionary. But what if this notion is utterly false? A personality trait that, at every turn, thoroughly undermines that which we seek?And what if modesty, humility and self-honesty are not actual weaknesses but in fact our greatest asset?This week Ryan Holiday graces the podcast to explain.An autodidact of astute intellect that belies his 29 years, Ryan is many things — a voracious reader, prolific writer, shrewd observer of culture, media strategist and the author of four acclaimed bestselling books.Dropping out of college at 19, Ryan began his multi-faceted career as an apprentice under Robert Greene, the acclaimed author of The 48 Laws of Power*. He went on to amplify the work of several New York Times bestselling authors before serving as the director of marketing for American Apparel – a job he held at the ripe age of 22.When he’s not penning books or thought pieces for The Observer or Thought Catalog, Ryan oversees Brass Check– a consultancy firm he founded that advises New York Times bestselling authors like James Altucher, Arianna Huffington and even Tony Robbins, as well as corporate clients that include Google, Casey Neistat’s video sharing app Beme, Creative Live, Complex and Refinery 29.About a year ago, Ryan and I went deep on his life and his heralded book, The Obstacle Is The Way*– a primer on the functional applicability of stoic philosophy for turning modern-day obstacles into opportunities and adversity to advantage. Now translated into 17 languages, it's a read that achieved cult status among some of the world’s most successful CEOs, political leaders, world class athletes and NFL coaches. One of my most popular episodes, I highly suggest you check out RRP 168 if you missed it the first time around.Today, Ryan drops in to talk about his new book, Ego Is The Enemy*.

In this episode of the DREAM. THINK. DO. podcast, my guest Brent Underwood shares his cool story from finance to his interest in hostels. Listen To The Podcast:        If my guest today had stayed in the world of high finance, we probably wouldn't be talking. But he didn't stay. Instead, he forged his own path. And now you get to hear his cool story—and his great insights! Brent Underwood is a partner at the creative advisory firm "Brass Check," where he spearheads marketing campaigns for New York Times best-selling books and helps musicians, including Grammy winners, establish their media narratives. Now, that stuff alone would be enough for a cool conversation on DREAM. THINK. DO., but there's way more to Brent than this marketing gig. Years ago, Brent developed a pretty intense interest in hostels—you know, those low-budget lodges people stay at when traveling abroad. He eventually channeled this passion into running a successful hostel in Brooklyn. When he moved to Austin, Texas, a couple of years ago (not to start another hostel), he simply couldn't kick the hostel habit. He founded HK Austin, which quickly became the top-rated hostel in the country! Listen in to hear about Brent's winding—and inspiring—road to entrepreneurship and fulfillment. In this episode you will . . . • Get tips on where you should—and shouldn't—cut corners • Hear why waiting for the perfect launch can mean no launch at all • Learn about when Brent didn't listen to his customers—and how that's paid off • Discover why you should stop and think before you try to improve on your competition's failures • Understand the value in exposing yourself to lots of skills, people, and ideas [Tweet "“Word of mouth is the best marketing by far.” - @underwoodbrent"] EPISODE RESOURCES BrentUnderwood.com  Brasscheck.com HKAustin.com “The 8 Unexpected Rules Of Business That No One Teaches But Everyone Should Know” Twitter | @underwoodbrent
