Podcasts about by day

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases BY DAY, BY NIGHT, and NIGHT OWLIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrases by day and by night. I'm a teacher by day and a YouTuber by night. So when you use by day and by night, you're describing when something happens. You often hear this in a superhero movie, Superman is Clark Kent by day and Superman by night. Or is that Batman? Batman is Bruce Wayne by day and Batman by night. Yeah, that makes more sense. Batman does more work at night than Superman. But when you say by day and by night, you're talking about when it happens.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianI hope you can see this. I'm testing out the low light capabilities of my camera.The other phrase or term I wanted to teach you is night owl. A night owl is a person who enjoys being out at night or working at night. I'm not a night owl, by the way.So to review, when you do something by day and by night, it means that's when you do it. Maybe you're. You're a hard worker by day and a party animal by night. I don't know what you're like, but maybe that's you. Or to review as well, night owl would be a person who enjoys doing things at night.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Lidepla. I've noticed two more interesting expressions in this lesson. I felt a little bit off and on top of things. Thanks. And my response? Yes, I'm glad you picked up on those. There are often extra phrases that just come out naturally. So sorry if I'm not speaking smoothly and fluently tonight. Maybe because it's late in the day, but thanks. Lidepla. I think I said that right for that comment. Yes. Quite often in my videos there's a couple extra little phrases that are kind of a bonus that you can learn.Yeah, I'm here in front of the grocery store. It's nighttime. There's definitely people out who are night owls and I'm not. By the way, if you're wondering why I'm out here making a video, it's not because I'm a super dedicated YouTuber. It's because I'm on my way back to work for parent teacher interviews. So it's actually only like quarter to six. But it's dark here already. Or wait, let me check my watch. Sorry, it's quarter to seven and it's dark here already.So yeah, I'm not a night owl. I enjoy doing things by day. I enjoy. Like I would rather get up early and go do things than stay up late to do things. That's just my personality. There's no way you'll catch me joining volunteer activities or committees that meet at night. That just does not interest me at all. I would rather go to a meeting at 7 in the morning than at 7 at night. So things like parent teacher interviews are a little bit not annoying for me. Like, I don't mind them. I think they're good and they're practical and they help parents and students know what they can choose to do to do better. But certainly it's not my favorite thing. In fact, I'll probably. I'll probably not sleep very well tonight because when I go home, I'll still be kind of heightened. Like I'll have some adrenaline going and I'll still have lots of energy.Normally by this time of night, I'm just watching some YouTube videos or possibly reading a book or doing something that's just a little bit more relaxing. So anyways, let me check my time here. Oh, we're good. I'm trying to walk far enough so that you can see the Tim Hortons. Sometimes people enjoy seeing the Tim Hortons. There's definitely a Tim Hortons over here. There's a bunch of people in front of it. Not sure what they're doing. I think it might be like Girl Guides selling cookies or something lSupport the show

The biggest obstacle for me not achieving my goals, not fulfilling my dreams, not taking the next step in my career desires...is me.100%.I have been falling into complacency, blaming everything under the sun for my lack of progress, and generally feeling afraid to take a chance.I have been putting out an energy that is indifferent, afraid, self-critical...and it has been coming right back to me.Recently I completed a week-long masterclass that was all about business mindset (DM me for info, I am glad to share).I had a big WHOA moment on day 1. By Day 3 of 5, I was brainstorming a career coaching business. By the end of the week, I believed I could accomplish ANYTHING!So I am jumping into it! I have no formal plan, no fancy masterclass website, just an attitude of "I can do this!"If you think it and believe it...you can have it, do it, be it!

Karen grew up in a home without alcohol, but that didn't stop it from finding her in high school. Binge drinking quickly became a part of her life, and she chose not to go to college because she knew she would party it away. After making her way through beauty school, Karen became a mom, and drinking ended up slipping pretty easily into the backseat of her life. She was able to moderate her drinking for years.  Then, Karen's children got older, and more space appeared in her days. She consistently began to fill that new free time with alcohol. Like so many moms, the pandemic pushed alcohol to the center stage of her life, and in a full resurgence of her drinking, Karen struggled to show up for her family and experienced her first blackout - at age 53. It seemed like something was wrong, and Karen committed to Dry January to see if alcohol was the problem. On Day 18 something incredible happened. She ‘woke up'. The lights were brighter, the colors were more vivid, and Karen started to wonder - what had she been missing while numbing out with alcohol? That experience led Karen to dive deep into quit lit, podcasts and meetings in the Sober Mom Life Cafe. All the while, though, she kept drinking. But over the months she found courage to ask herself a big question: What was she getting from alcohol? And, was it making her experience better in any way?  Karen committed to 90 days of sobriety to find out. By Day 40 it was clear to her - alcohol was making her life harder and was robbing her of experiences. She was not going back.  Join us in the The Sober Mom Life Cafe!

The power of a college essay is the simplicity. A simple, simple topic can often make the best essays. Ironically, we tell our essay campers to NOT go home and tell their parents their essay topic. By Day 2, we've already labeled the essays by the topic, “The Cheese Essay,” or “The Taco Bell Essay,” “The Chocolate Essay,” etc. Without the context, parents often don't get it and underestimate the beauty of simplicity. In today's episode, Dina Petringa and I unpack “The McDonald's Essay.” This simple essay about the nuts on a sundae won the hearts of admission officers at Georgetown, Cornell, Boston College and Northwestern. Dina has worked with me for over 5 years and we've read thousands of essays. If you've ever wondered what the heck will my child write about? This episode is for you. If you've asked, “Can a fast food job lead to an acceptance letter at an Ivy League institution?” This episode is definitely for you. In this episode you will learn how a short 140 word essay can transform into a 350 word UC essay and 350 word business school essay. Moreover, you will understand WHY it works so well and gained so much success! Every senior has a story to tell. The problem is, they just don't know how to get started. More than that, students do not understand that the college essay is NOT written in the style of an English or research paper. After 20+ years in the business of college admissions, we've developed a teen proofed and battle tested formula that helps every student turn their story into interesting, engaging and compelling essays. Truth Talk Thursdays is where me and my guest take a deep dive in 1-2 essays unpack why it works and what makes it stand out. Tune in to today's Destination YOUniversity podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Or, if you prefer to watch, find us on YouTube @dr.cynthiacolon71.

Enjoy this conversation with Will Brady, an artist and baker who graduated from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers in 2003. Will's work consists of daily records kept in notebooks that are turned into collages. He has exhibited at Montserrat Gallery in Chelsea, NYC from 2007 -2022.  n 2006, he sold his complete collection of undergraduate school notebooks (weighing 300 lbs) to a collector from Japan when it was shown in the Pleiades Gallery in NYC.   Will recently won first place for drawing at the Bergen County Art in the Park show in 2023. By Day, Will has spent 18 years working in the baking industry. He was a delivery person for 13 years and more recently worked as a pastry chef for the past 5 years.  His experience as a delivery driver allowed him to learn many North Jersey roads and landmarks that he now includes in his art.  While creating his baked goods, he keeps a folded-up piece of computer paper in his back pocket to write down ideas and create drawings. He then turns those notes into framed collages.

Welcome to Day Five of the Sprint to Freedom. Today, we're diving into two crucial topics: faith and your assignments. When it comes to building your business mindset, having faith is key. Shifting from an employee mindset to that of an employer is a faith journey. You've got to believe you can achieve what you're setting out to do. Building your business isn't just about the practical work, it's also about nurturing your faith during the hours you're not actively working on your business. It's easy for our minds to lead us astray, making us believe we're not cut out for something before we even attempt it. Sometimes, we disqualify ourselves before giving the situation a fair chance, fearing failure or rejection.  But in this 30-day journey, the mantra is clear: stay in the fight, don't disqualify yourself, and don't quit when things aren't moving as fast as you expect. Building faith is crucial because it gives you the strength to persevere when you feel like giving up. Faith, as mentioned in the Bible, is the evidence of things not seen. It's what you hold onto before clients, customers, and success manifest in your business. It's a process—holding onto that unwavering belief before seeing the tangible results.  Your words and thoughts play a significant role in building this faith. Speaking success, growth, and abundance rather than focusing on lack or failure helps shape your reality. Yes, it might seem odd or mystical, but consider how we accept things as truth simply because we've heard them repeatedly. Apply the same principle to your business: speak success into existence.  Change your self-talk, consume positive business content, and take action. Faith without action is fruitless. Engage in the daily challenges, work on your sales funnel, and keep moving forward. By Day 15, aim to have your lead magnet and offer ready, two-thirds of your sales funnel. Remember, this journey requires persistence, positive self-talk, action, and the unwavering belief that success is on the horizon. It might seem strange initially, but as you persist, watch how your reality begins to align with your affirmations. Thank you for joining me today. I'm Martin Williams, and I'll catch up with you soon. Keep speaking your business success into existence and taking those crucial steps toward your goals. https://gameplanplaybook.com/sprint-to-freedom/

After a devastating MS diagnosis, one woman shares her inspirational journey in gratitude and generosity--in this New York Times bestseller. At age thirty-five, Cami Walker was burdened by an intensified struggle with multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurological disease that left her debilitated and depressed. Then she received an uncommon "prescription" from South African healer Mbali Creazzo: Give away 29 gifts in 29 days. 29 Gifts is the insightful story of the author's life change as she embraces and reflects on the naturally reciprocal process of giving. Many of Walker's gifts were simple--a phone call, spare change, a Kleenex. Yet the acts were transformative. By Day 29, not only had Walker's health and happiness improved, but she had also created a worldwide giving movement. 29 Gifts shows how a simple, daily practice of altruism can dramatically alter your outlook on the world.

By Day 3 of being confined to his Australian hotel room for quarantine, David Marriott was getting bored. He'd watched a few seasons of The Sopranos and his eyes were getting tired from reading. Then his lunch arrived in a brown paper bowl and he thought “Aha. That's a hat waiting to happen.” The paper cowboy was born. Using the good-quality paper bags his food was delivered in each day, Marriott, an art director on TV commercials, began fashioning an outfit. He added a brim to his hat, and then came the waistcoat and chaps. Next? A horse, of course. He found an ironing board in his cupboard and tied on a desk lamp for the neck and head, creating a skeleton. Coffee pods became the eyes and nostrils. He named the horse Russell after an old dad joke: “Have you heard about the paper cowboys? They were caught and hung for rustling.” Because quarantine guests are considered potentially infectious, their food is delivered in disposable containers and plates that are discarded. But Marriott said he's barely thrown anything out since his stay began, and has only needed to order in a few extras like sticky tape and cling film. (AP) This article was provided by The Japan Times Alpha.

Because we all have the opportunity to create amazing experiences for customers, for consumers, which we all are as well. We're all buying products and services. So, it impacts us in many ways. 2:06 Problem Stacy helps solve: Frustration; people are having such frustration and they're losing patience too. To be able to get what they want to do. It's not simple, it's not easy. And so, it doesn't have to be that way. Doing customer experience right which involves employees. When employees have good experiences, they pay it forward to the customer. We don't need to be frustrated at all. 3:08 Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Stacy: If anyone is really not sure why their customers are either leaving or they're posting on social media bad reviews, that's where I come in. It's really to understand what is it you're doing or not doing and that's where I can really advise. And there's a whole methodical way of doing that.

Design what the experience would be and then go validate it with a real customer, so you'll understand the gaps. 4:48 Stacy's Valuable Free Action (VFA): I recommend reading a lot about customer experience.

On Day 1, I was hoping for a 3 or maybe a 4-point buck because we had scouted an area and seen big bucks. By Day 4 I was ready to shoot a spike we called Chopstick. So much happened during the 6-day hunt in Wyoming it was difficult to get the days straight, but in this episode I attempt to. Jaden Bales joins me to talk about the difference between reading or watching videos about hunting, and actually hunting. It's the difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is knowing tactics. Wisdom is knowing what tactic to use during the actual hunt. Days 1-3 were uneventful which brought on desperation and frustration, but there was no question every morning we were excited to get back out there and run a good program. Then, after blowing a stalk (Day 4) and missing a forkie (Day 5), maybe Abby and I got things right, or maybe we just happened to get lucky.

Episode 20: COVID-19: Why being bored is good for you (By Dayna Mason) Following the stay-at-home order, my 10-year-old grandson—whose technology use is normally limited by his mom to give him time to engage with the world around him—was allowed to immerse himself in the land of cartoons, Xbox games, his hoverboard and his iPad. By Day 13 the repetition of these distractions became routine. As I sat on the couch struggling with my own restlessness and lack of ideas for my upcoming column, I looked down to see my grandson had made a game of rolling himself up in the area rug. We had both hit a wall. Boredom had arrived. (music by Fro Magnum Man, and intro by "Jingle Queen" voice artist, Emily McIntosh) ©Dayna Mason, 2020

We've all been taught that we should pick a lane when it comes to creativity and our careers, but what if that is wrong? What if the best thing you can do for your mental health and success is to pursue multiple paths, side hustles and creative outlets? that's what my guest Candace Hokhett-Henley and I explore in today's episode. We discuss redefining definitions of success and struggle, the wrong ways to build your network, what to do when the people you thought you could count on don't support you, overcoming negative self-talk, how creativity doesn't have to be painful but a spiritual expression, literally coloring outside of the lines and finding unconventional inspiration, navigating with jealousy and toxic competition, and how to deal with the negative sides of corporate America. we begin our conversation with Candace describing an act of creative courage she took with building her side hustle while working full time.    Candace Hoe-khett - Henley is a Culture Shaper, Story Teller, Community Builder and a Fashion Fit Expert here in NYC. BY DAY, she's a Consumer Insights Consultant, with a former trajectory at Macy's, BET, and Refinery29. Her mission-driven marketing research methods have produced cultural studies with: Macy's Plus Size Assortment Strategy and Latinx focused brand launch "Thalia",  At BET she and Twitter brought the story of the power of #BlackTwitter to life for brands. Her recent work at Refinery29 has informed editorial content redefining the Fertility Spectrum of women, as well as her recent project called Skin Deep, answering pressing questions for Black women looking to care for their skin with the proper support of Black skincare professionals. BY NIGHT, she's passionate about helping people live a whole life. In a former life she was a fashion buyer, and is now a Tailor based in Harlem. She also runs a collective of creatives called Connected Seams NYC, helping stitch side hustlers who are cut from all different cloths together to create REAL collaborations.

By Day, Sarah St. Vincent is a researcher and advocate, but by night and early morning, she is a novelist. Sarah St. Vincent studied law at the University of Michigan and now works for the US Program of Human Rights Watch, specializing in national security, surveillance and domestic law enforcement.   At the same time as working in this important area, Sarah has been working on the novel, Ways to Hide in Winter, out now from Melville House. In this episode, we talk about the importance of day job/writing life balance as well as the topics she felt were better covered in fiction than nonfiction articles. If you think your day job is a restriction on your writing life, think again, because this conversation reminded me of the many ways work out in the world can enrich what we explore as writers. I know you'll enjoy this conversation and this brilliant new book. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Why planning is the very seed of an entrepreneurs anxiety and how to get rid of it   I thought about action.   I know it’s weird. Action from that?   I thought about my beliefs. And what they mean to someone’s sanity and especially a person with anxiety that also really wants to create a business.   The thing is your beliefs, values and psychological rules are all built upon this principle. The decisions you make, the actions you take, and the habits you indulge in, are all based upon this principle. In fact, every part of your psyche is influenced in some way by the pain-pleasure principle. You are therefore who you are today because of how you have interpreted and acted upon the experience of pain and pleasure in your life. And as we all know action always begins with a decision.   I’ve been seriously struggling with action lately and I’m just unsure on how to actually follow through. And it sucks!   Because I really believe whole heartedly that depression and feeling down stems from not being able to act upon something that you can see in your minds eye but it’s not becoming a reality.     SOOO a current pain in my life is ACTION.   The economist and author of Average is Over, Tyler Cowen says   “The more information that’s out there, the greater the returns to just being willing to sit down and apply yourself. Information isn’t what’s scarce; it’s the willingness to do something with it.”   Action is not easy for everyone. Our society promotes learning. People are rewarded more for going to college, entering a trade school or giving up their dreams of becoming a business owner by going back to school.   So I thought to myself “Logan, you’re not like everyone else. And your anxiety doesn’t have to be permanent.”   People who are really making dents in the world are taking chances. Taking in the pain and feeling the pleasure later.   Robert Greene explains in Mastery that the Wright Bros. had a tight budget and were forced to make small, cheap tweaks to each model. They would fly a plane, crash it, tweak it, and fly it again quickly.   They didn’t stop after their plan crash. They used that momentum to try again.   The Wright Bros. had a hundred test flights in the time it took these big corporations to complete a handful. Every test flight taught lessons – but real practical lessons. Not a lesson of A, B,C, D, or F. The return in failure was hard to swallow but the one who failed fastest gathered the most information. Which is not really a philosophy for education.   Eric Ries’ book The Lean Startup. Has says “I’ve come to believe that learning is the essential unit of progress for startups. The effort that is not absolutely necessary for learning what customers want can be eliminated. I call this validated learning because it is always demonstrated by positive improvements in the startup’s core metrics.”   Technology has reached a point where actually, building is often cheaper than planning. We can build the thing and know the answer before we can plan for all the possibilities anddetermine how it might work.   Ries writes: “The question is not ‘Can this product be built?’ In the modern economy, almost any product that can be imagined can be built. The more pertinent questions are ‘Should this product be built?’ and ‘Can we build a sustainable business around this set of products and services?’”   These are questions that cannot be answered in the abstract – they must be tested in the physical world.   The key is to make the tests cheap and quickly make small improvements. This applies to everything. Especially your life.   Planning has paralyzed me so so many times. I was taught to always have a plan before taking action.   That led to a deep anxiety that lead to depression. I didn’t know what career I wanted to dedicate my life to and so I did nothing. I didn’t know what girl I wanted to marry and so I didn’t give any a real chance. I didn’t know what fitness plan was the best and so I stayed out of the gym. Why waste my time right? Wrong!   I’ve realized something recently. “Dr Steve maraboli       Said by Steve Maraboli.   This is so so true. Failing and falling on your face is never a waste of time. And this applies to entrepreneurs.   So I believe the very reason entrepreneurs are anxious and fall into depression is because thinking of building a business or improving themselves without actually doing anything. Is the very reason WHY they get anxious       So this is a call to action for you and ME.   My 5 commandments  I will not plan or research until I’ve taken action. I will not make an opinion with new careers and find which ones I hate and which Ones I love before a I experiment. Experimenting leads to experience. Experience in a career leads to dollars. I will not let myself love the most perfect girl until I’ve talked to her. And then potentially create the best relationship I’ve ever had. I will not read anything about fitness until I’ve worked out that day. I will not let myself learn about a new diet until I’ve fully gave it my all on this current diet. With my current health care doctors approval.   These are many more we could add to the list of action commandments. But for now. Like not chew more then we can swallow.   The thing is most of the time, planning is procrastination.   It’s based on theory. It’s going to be wrong.   Plans are useless without action. That’s why Step 1 is to take action based on what you already know. Then improve bit by bit. Then begin forming a plan.     No one told me when I started my business that   Action Allows for exposure. In a good way. Taking action creates possibilities that didn’t exist before.   We always look out at our future from the place we’re standing. But we forget that this is only one spot.   Imagine this: you’re walking in New York City. All you can see are skyscrapers, neurotic humans, and taxis. You turn down the next street and you’re looking out into the trees of Central Park.   A completely new possibility has been exposed.   Okay so let’s say, you’re a little overweight then you probably don’t see a possible future where you’re fit. But, after three months of working out and eating well there will be a possible future of physical fitness.   These possibilities seem to “come out of nowhere” but they actually come out of taking action.   If you’ve only failed then it’s impossible to see the possibility of success. The trick is to keep trying. That next step might be the key to a better future — you just can’t see around the corner yet.   Which I know. Is kind of scarey. It sucks. Because there’s no certainty and humans love certainty.   But Inaction is Scarier The pain of action is hard. It’s right in our face.   Inaction is attractive to us because it’s slow. We can see all the gears moving.   We don’t really take into account that refusing to choose is a a choice.   Hey you’re not alone. I do it to.     But We think we’re safe if we don’t expose ourselves to failure. We don’t appreciate the consequences of inaction because they are slow, frequent, and less obvious.   And That’s what makes them worse. You don’t get to escape pain.   The pain that comes with action is hard, but it gives you scars, and makes you grow.   The pain that comes from inaction is low-grade, makes you soft, and makes you decay, and makes you honestly feel like your not doing anything with your life. Because well, you aren’t.   But now you can!!   Because Motivation feeds off Action.   Just trust me for this moment.   Here’s a little story I had zero motivation when I began talking about this. I had nothing to say. So I wrote a blog about action but for some reason I couldn’t think of the words to tell you.   It’s filled with words   But not that I’m talking to you about why Entrepenuers get anxiety. I can’t stop thinking of new things to say. It’s always like this.   I don’t feel like working out until I’ve been at the gym for 15 minutes.   I’m too tired to podcast about something until I’ve started.     I don’t want to go to the party until I’m there.   Motivation (and passion) will follow you if you have the balls to go without them.     Action is an Existential   I’ve spent a lot my life thinking “what is the meaning of my life?”    I’ve come up with a lot of clever answers. Some of them even felt really good and sounded super genius.   But the Truth is- The only one that ever really works is disappointingly simple: (do something.)   The meaning of my life can only be summed up on paper.   Philosophy is like communism. It looks so good on paper but when it’s put into practice and action. It’s for nothing.   So what I’m trying to say   Is abstract ideals there nice to think about and wonder about but it’s not life.   I listened to an interview with Nueroscientist David Eagleman on Impact Theory and the guy blew my mind. He said that “Move your finger when the impulse grabs you.” He reports on his findings in Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain: “Long before a voluntary movement is enacted, a buildup of neural activity can be measured. The ‘readiness potential’ is larger when subjects judge the time of their urge to move, rather than the movement itself.”   So! I know that’s kind of mind blowing. Basically what I’m interpreting it as. Is that People make the choice before they were conscious of it.   Here’s the thing let’s take Teenagers     Teenagers think they know everything because they haven’t tested their mettle. They don’t know anything and so they feel like they know everything. They are just beginning to learn about theories and possibilities. They haven’t done anything so they feel like they can do anything.   And not saying I know everything because well. I’m wise enough to know I know nothing BUT     Action is so so important. It carries the possibility to bring imagination and reality together.   But I think the key is to consistently trying.   Most entrepenuers give up their business and end up so dull. They don’t do anything because they believe that it’s probably going to fail.   They mistook early failures for a sign that they should stop trying.   That’s why they’re bored, depressed, and lethargic.   Instead, our failures strengthen us. We should recognize that failures are how we learn and grow. Just ask, “What would Leonidas think? From 300 do? He would keep trucking no matter what.     So you might be asking, Logan how do I actuallly take action when I don’t feel like it? I mean I’m human. I get tired.   And I think it comes down to systems   If you train yourself to be emotionally rewarded for actions taken rather than outcomes you may be able to lengthen the time you can spend in actively “sucking at things” and increase your chances of success. It’s a numbers game.   So maybe youth to reward yourself for following your system rather than achieving a goal.    Try a system you know will lead to success and follow it.   For example. I wrote this outline about actions before I ever turned on the mic. But I love talking so talking is my reward.   Or maybe Eating right vs. losing 20 pounds. Building a business vs. achieving financial independence. Going on dates vs. having a successful relationship.     When I set a goal of “create 7 podcasts interviews a week” I stopped wanting to podcast and feeling bad about myself.   But When I decided on the system of “Podcast about just something small. Like these one person show. I could do this every day” I began a real path to podcast  success.   That’s the easy step. The next is the real challenge.   Go an entire week with zero information consumption.   I know I know. It sound rediculous. Especially if you’re a creative a entrepreneur but try it for just 30 minutes. Most people who go through information deprivation swear by it.   But Start small if you need to.   Stay with me on this. People that are hard core do this for one week: No reading books. No reading blogs. No reading newspapers. No going on Facebook (even just to post). No watching TV (shows, sports, news, anything). No watching movies. No listening to talk radio. No going on Reddit. No going on Twitter. No information input – only output! You have to literally force yourself to spend time with yourself and the people surrounding you.   This will, first and foremost, pressure you into action by taking away every activity you run to in order to avoid actually doing the work you know you should be doing.   According to Creative Habit by Twayla Tharp this information deprevation will increase mindfulness, increase the respect you have for your own ideas, you’ll have more ideas, unsolvable life problems may begin to make sense, you’ll have an increased appreciation for the news that actually matters, you’ll become more social, you’ll gain perspective, and you’ll become more original.   I mean it sounds too good to be true but the only way for you to appreciate this is to do it.   I thought of a system for this Information Deprivation-   With your mighty phone you can become anxious free Install StayFocusd or its equivalent and put all your time-sucking websites on there. ALL of them! Facebook, Twitter, MySpace (??), reddit, Digg (??), Chive, EVERYTHING! Delete your consumption apps. I deleted Facebook, Pulse, and Twitter off my phone. Delete the apps that you reflexively go to when you have a minute of free time. Move your books and magazines. They will just taunt you if they’re sitting on your bedstand or at your desk. Make a stack and put it out of sight. Carry a notebook with you. You’re going to begin having ideas pop up in your head; make notes of them. I like notepads more than phones because we associate them with creating instead of consuming. It’s risky to take notes on a smartphone if you’re trying to avoid inputs. Take the batteries out of your remote. When you have the urge to flick on the TV you’ll have to go get batteries for the remote. This is a barrier to TV that will save your willpower pool from draining as you stare down the remote thinking about all the Game of Thrones and Mad Men you’re missing.   This may be the hardest thing you do all year. The benefits may not be obvious on Day 2. By Day 6 they’ll be undeniable. Your focus will turn to production instead of consumption. You will become a giver instead of a taker. You will see your addiction to novelty and useless information plainly.   Remember that this is only 30 minutes but we’re shooting for a week and not a lifestyle. I love books. I love learning new things. I consume information like crazy. And it’s valuable! Information Deprivation Week is about creating a better relationship with information, not denying its importance.   Like a girlfriend that you didn’t fully appreciate until she was gone, your relationship to information will be forever changed. You will appreciate quality information and be more able to ignore the rest. You won’t be an addict to useless information.     Remember: Failing can be progress if you use it. The wisdom you receive from action often remains invisible. Judge yourself based on the actions you take – not their outcomes.   If this show is was worth an hour of your time out of your day, first of all thank you so so so much for taking the time to listen and if you found it inspirational or valuable please head over to LoganTylerNelson.com and leave a few dollars or whatever you find affordable to help this show reach a bigger platform.

https://youtu.be/XUGEGFWjnHo Active Resistance Read Matthew 4:1-11 – Jesus is in the literal wilderness, lead there by the Holy Spirit. (I don’t even like “car camping”!) – He has fasted for 40 days and nights, and he became “very hungry”. (That’s an understatement!) – Jesus is tired and hungry, and his flesh is at its weakest. And that’s when satan comes after him. – The temptations that the devil sets before Jesus are not random. They are a strategic attack on Jesus at his weakest points. They are an attempt to crack the very foundation of his future ministry. – If the devil can when this battle, he won’t have to fight the war. It would be over before it even starts if he can plant a seed of doubt. – Example: Hand to hand combat in USMC. “Take away their will to fight”. That’s what satan wants to do to Jesus. The devil wants Jesus to question his provision. (Read Matthew 4:3-4 again) – Satan sows seeds of doubt: – “If you really were God’s son, you could make food out of rocks. I guess you aren’t then.” – “Why would the son of God have to starve? How does not eating prove anything?!” – These are the same tactics since Adam and Eve. Genesis 3:1, “Did God really say…?” – The devil does this to us still today. Example: The Daniel Fast. – By Day 2, the devil will be speaking to you: “Why are you doing this? How does starving        yourself prove anything to God? Doesn’t God have work for you to do, so why are you wasting        your time just making yourself miserable?” AND, The bible says, Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “Those  unwilling to work will not get to eat.”  If you would start working, God would let you eat! AND, You failed! Start again Monday. Failed again? It’s fine to quit. Try again next year. – The devil is questioning Jesus’s identity and actions. The devil is relentless!!  Stay focused! – Jesus resist the devil with scripture. “People don’t just live on bread. They are sustained      by God’s word.” – Jesus is saying that spiritual food is even more important than physical food. It satisfies your   soul and makes it strong. – Just like you on the Daniel fast: Don’t sacrifice the spiritual food God is giving to you           through sacrifice and prayer, just because you are “very hungry”. The devil wants Jesus to question his protection. (read Matthew 4:5-7 again) – The devil is saying, “If you are the son of God, protect yourself from your future hardship. Choose the comfortable route.” – The devil uses actual scripture to convince Jesus to doubt the plan God has for him. He           uses the Word, but out of context, to try to get Jesus to doubt his Father. – Jesus resists the devil with scripture, showing that his faith does not require testing God. – Jesus uses his faith like a shield to defend himself from the attack of the enemy. – Example: Rogue One, force field that covers the moon w/ one weakness is the gate, they smash the gate and steal the plans that lead to ultimate destruction. – If you drop your “faith shield” by believing the lie, the devil will fly through the weak spot in       YOUR shield and steal the plans inside you. – When you begin to doubt and question God about why you are going through a trial or           temptation, you leave an opening in your faith shield, allowing satan to steal god’s plans out of       your heart. – Jesus doesn’t need proof, he has faith! The devil wants Jesus to question his position. (read Matthew 4:8-10 again) – Jesus is supposed to be the king. He has the power to make all things come under his authority. – Satan questions this, “God apparently can’t or won’t do this for you Jesus, but I will! Worship me and have it all. Worship God and be rejected, suffer, and be crucified.” – Tough choice for the humanity inside us to make. This is a decision that we all must rely on the Holy Spirit inside us to ma...

What causes clients to keep coming back? Is it information? Or could it be entertainment? For too long we've treated teaching and learning as an activity that needs endless slides, pages and work. But what if clients get better results having fun? And what if you had a ton of fun as well? Let's find out how to speed up client learning with some pretty minor tweaks in your e-books, courses, presentations and webinars. Click here to read the transcript on the website:  #166: How To Speed Up Client-Learning With The Incredible Power of Infotainment ===================== When my mother-in-law, Preta, was in her twenties, she was teaching at Sunday school. Like most Sunday schools, the kids were there to learn about the Bible. However, my mother-in-law decided to teach the girls how to sew tiny dresses for their dolls. Within weeks of her starting up, all the girls wanted to be part of her class. Ironically, this made the other Sunday school teachers jealous. They complained to the “higher authorities”, and Preta was called in to explain herself. “We've heard you're not teaching them about the Bible, and instead only involving them in play”, said the person in charge. “You can come in and test the knowledge of the kids,” retorted my mother-in-law, “and you'll find they know they're well-versed in their Bible studies”. You can clearly see the wisdom of play in this story, can't you? You can also see how people in charge resist it a lot, even though it's apparent that we all have a maddening streak of playfulness we can't seem to shake. That when learning something, we want the trainer to bring a sense of joy into our learning. Instead, most education is soulless, incredibly dull and it's not surprising that clients drop out. The problem is that we're pretty sure we're guilty of this callous training and teaching as well. But what if we were to make fun the core of our system? What if we postponed designing the information-based section and thought about the fun elements, instead? What if fun wasn't an afterthought but part of the entire structure of learning? How would we do things differently, if this were the case? In this series, let's look at:
In this series, let's look at: 1) How to create Infotainment 2) Why we need to understand the goal 3) How to place the fun elements in your training 1) How to create Infotainment If you were in charge of getting a kid to write, would you start with “slimy, oozy eyeballs?” Here is a story of Jen Jackson from Seattle. She'd started a small English tutoring business aimed at kids that were being homeschooled. One of her students was Michael, Michael clearly despised writing, despite being able to read well. His mother tried “everything”, but her methods weren't working, so she called Jen to help Michael write. Except for the fact, that Jen didn't make Michael write at all. The two of them read joke books, challenged each other to tongue twisters and did everything but write. The second meeting involved fun drawing games and drawing a monster. Still, no writing was included. It was only the third session where a Monster Cafe was created, apparently to accommodate Michael's monster. That's when Michael wrote out a short menu that included slimy, oozy eyeballs. In the sessions to follow, Michael went on to create many menus for different monsters. Today, Michael is not exactly prolific, but he willingly writes short paragraphs and is eager to keep improving. When we read this story, we can see how entertainment has led to information success, can't we? Yet, as an educator it somehow feels scary. Even if you embrace the power of entertainment as the doorway to learning, how are you supposed to implement it? If you did what Jen did, wouldn't Michael's parent look at you funnily, wondering if you were just wasting their time and money? What are you supposed to do when you're not dealing with kids, but adults instead—and in serious fields like marketing or finance? The core of entertainment is to take the pressure off, completely Let's say you wanted to learn Photoshop. If you've never looked at Photoshop before, that sounds a bit intimidating, doesn't it? So how do you make it fun? You look at the what causes people to freeze. Incredibly, it's the computer and Photoshop itself. When I'm showing clients how to use Photoshop for the first time, I usually take them to a cafe—without the computer. We sit down and work our way through some core shortcuts. If the client wants to learn to draw, what alternatives would they need? Wait, you're reading this, so you can easily play along. Let's say you want to get the brush tool. Which letter on your keyboard would you press? Yes, you're right, it's the letter B. What if you wanted to change the opacity of the brush to 30%? What number would you press? Some clients say 30, but of course, the answer is 3. What about 50%. Yes, it's 5. And 70%? I'm teasing. Of course, you know the answer. Let's move on to the brush size. If you wanted to increase the brush size and you had to choose between the left and right square bracket, which one would you choose? Most of us correctly select the right square bracket, which means that the left one will reduce the brush size. Imagine you're sipping a cup of coffee, there's no computer in sight, and you're told to create a theoretical drawing in Photoshop. You have to get to the brush, get the opacity to 90% and then reduce the brush size? Notice how much fun that whole exercise turned out? The first way of taking the pressure off a person or a group is merely to get them as far as you can from the activity. When you put yourself (and the student or client) in a different setting, the pressure is instantly off and a sense of play sets in. However, not everyone can waltz their way into a cafe or garden Some teaching needs to be done at the venue itself. What do you do, then? One of the best and most effective ways to get the pressure off is to get the clients to do something wrong. Let's take an example. Of the many workshops we've had over the years, one of the more intimidating ones is the uniqueness workshop. The fact that we were going to take three days to get to uniqueness didn't help. How do you take the pressure off? You get the uniqueness wrong, that's what you do. Within minutes of starting the workshop, I gave each client an advertisement for a local business. They all had the same ad, and they had to figure out the uniqueness of the company in under 10 minutes. However, before they started, I informed them, that all of them, no matter how hard they tried, would get the assignment wrong. Imagine you're in the room right at this very moment You can hear the hush, can't you? You have an assignment, but you're going to get it wrong. But that quiet lasts only for a few seconds. Everyone has a big smile on their face as they take on the assignment that they just can't get right. The pressure to get it all correct is gone, and they can have a jolly good time. They start the assignment, complete their version of it, and then they're all chattering away and having a great time. After which everyone is called upon to give their answers, and a logical explanation follows. They've been entertained as well as informed! Tah, dah, infotainment! Good teachers know the value of play. Good workshop trainers will take the pressure off as quickly as they can. Excellent writers and speakers will use the power of stories to get their audience smiling, long before the main guts of the information comes along. The more pressure you put on a student, client or audience, the more the brain goes into shut down mode. Which is why we have to release the tension. But more importantly, it's because you need to understand the real goal. But what's the purpose? Ah, that's easy. You want the client to want to go forward of their own accord. You want them to beg you to continue. They must enjoy themselves so much that what you're teaching them must feel like a bowl of warm, chocolate muffins. Understanding the goal is what makes the client—or student come back repeatedly. Let's find out how we can get this goal going, shall we? 2) Why we need to understand the goal “‘Better, faster, cheaper.’ That was NASA's mantra around the year 1999. And it was in this very year that the Mars Climate Orbiter was destroyed. On Nov 10, 1999, the Mars Climate Orbiter, a $125 million satellite was supposed to become the the first weather observer orbiting over another world. For the orbiter to do its job, it needed to get into a stable orbit around the red planet. But something had gone wrong. The software was required to control the Orbiter's thrusters, and it did so, using the system of measurement of “pounds”. However, a separate software was processing data in the metric unit—”newtons”. The two systems of measurement threw the entire mission entirely out of whack, and atmospheric friction likely tore the fragile satellite apart. From the outside, it might look like a doofus-plan: that sophisticated scientists didn't notice that the software was calculating in two completely different units. And just like that, the mission—the $125 million mission—was no more. When training clients, the burnout rate is consistently like the Mars Orbiter That's because we're using completely different systems of measurement in our teaching methods. The goal isn't necessarily to get the ideas or learning across. Yes, that's the final goal, but not the primary goal. The primary goal of any training system is to get the client back. Remember the story about Jen Jackson and how she tackled Michael's writing problem?
Remember how my mother-in-law got her students to get all excited about Sunday school? When you think about education in an objective sense, you may feel that it's your job to get the information across. But knowledge is tiring. It's frustrating. It's the wrong system of measurement. And it's most often what causes the client to burn up before the mission so much as gets underway. Instead, think of how you can get the client back using fun and a factor of entertainment. Entertainment doesn't just mean you're rolling out tacos and a Mariachi band
But then again, who says learning has to be all work, work and more work? In the headlines course, for example, we start off with an assignment that goes like this: Day 1: Introduce yourself Day 2: Watch three videos—and these videos are from the movie, Karate Kid Day 3: List five topics and many sub-topics

And what does their list look like? Ice Cream •   Cup •   Cone •   Scoops •   Buckets •   Sprinkles •   Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup •   Brown Cow •   Whipped cream By Day 5, clients are clearly having fun Mermaids, dinosaurs, deep sea aliens (yes, deep sea aliens exist, you know)—they all make a list. And everyone is having a blast. They're getting to know the members of their tiny group; they're coming up with all of these crazy topics and sub-topics. And it's a lot like what happens at our place every Friday. On Fridays, for the past four years, we've taken our niece Marsha to the food market The assignments could involve walking to the veggie section, weighing an object and writing down the weight. Or we might have to skip—no walking, just skipping—to the dairy section to find out how pricing works, and how Swedish rounding of prices works. In short, Marsha (and I) have been running, jumping and skipping through our learning exercise. She's learned about frozen, dried and fresh foods. She's learn about weights and measures, about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Then when we get home, we do spellings in the garden or walking around the car (yes, I get sneaky steps on my Fitbit when I do that activity). However, let's make this really boring. Let's hunch over a desk or dining table and you get the idea why most kids detest having to study. There's zero entertainment and a lot of screaming and do this, do that, involved, instead. So what would Marsha want to do the following week? And the week after? Doesn't take much imagination, does it? If our goal is to educate, to train, to impart knowledge, you and I are sure going about it the wrong way. A workshop doesn't need your audience to reverentially worship you as you show them slide after slide. At Psychotactics workshops, clients go for walks and do their assignments. They sit by the pool. We have games, we have soft toys like Jordan the otter, and of course, Elmo comes along wherever we go. At one workshop, two our clients, Jessica and Alia, who happened to be belly dancers, taught one part of the group to dance, and the other to clap along and create the mood. Would you want to go to another dull, reverential note-taking-workshop or come to a Psychotactics workshop, instead? If it sounds like too much fun, and no work, that's not the case at all Every course online, every workshop, every book you write needs to be result-oriented. If the client buys your product or service to get a result, a result needs to be the finale. But why does it have to be boring? The only reasons why any learning is boring is because the trainer doesn't realise that fun is possible, or they take the easy route and do what they've already done a million times before. To create a fun-based situation takes a lot of work on your part. It's not as if to suggest that a serious training session isn't a lot of work. It's just that you need to do so much more planning when fun is involved. Entertainment is great for the learner or the audience, but it's a hard grind for you to put into place. However, the results of information + entertainment are incredibly predictable Clients come back repeatedly. If you were to attend a Psychotactics workshop, you'd find close to 50% of the audience are back for a second, third, fourth helping. Clients travel long distances just to be at the workshop. And they sign up even before we have time to put up a sales page. For instance, if you take the Singapore Landing Page workshop, ¼ of the seats are already gone. With the Brussels workshop, ¾ of the seats were taken before we completed the sales page. A similar trend plays out when we're conducting courses online. There's the Article Writing Course—yes, the live course online—in July 2018 The seats would go on sale by early March. And before you know it, and often within 24 hours, that course is filled to the brim. If you look at a presentation, there are compelling videos, loads of cartoons, a touch of animation—all designed to give the audience respite, even though the presentation may be under 40 minutes long. And if you've read a book from Psychotactics, you know that once again there are cartoons, a recipe in the middle of the book and an epilogue at the end of the book telling you the process of how the book was made. What's the goal of education? To come back, that's what the goal should be, shouldn't it? Imagine you as a kid wanting to race to school every day, because, hey, school was so much fun. Imagine desperately wanting to continue a video series on a topic like Photoshop, because the presenter is so amusing. Now make no mistake. It's not about pure entertainment. You're there for the information as well, but why on Earth does the process of imparting information have to be so boring? “Better, faster, cheaper” That was the mantra, the chant that caused the Mars Polar Lander to fry just 23 days after the Mars Climate Orbiter. According to an article in Wired Magazine, vibrations in that craft’s legs may have convinced the craft’s on-board computer it had already landed when it was still 100 feet in the air.“The specific reasons [for that failure] were different, but the underlying parts, this overly ambitious appetite, were the same.” “NASA made some “big-time” changes after that,” said NASA engineer Richard Cook, who was project manager for Mars exploration projects. They got rid of several other missions, including one that involved bringing rocks back to Earth. NASA, it seems, reevaluated what they were doing, based on strategies and concepts that had stood the test of time. When teaching, what stands the test of time better than entertainment? Would you rather go back to a place that is boring, or one that is a fun-learning experience? Which one are you most eager to go back to, time and time again? Well, since we're on the same page, let's go to the third part. Now that we're pretty sure that fun is part of learning, let's move to the third part and find out just where we can put fun parts in the learning. 3) How to place fun elements in your training Rob Walling has an unusual video in the middle of his presentation that takes the audience by surprise. In May 2017, I spoke at the Double Your Freelancing conference in Sweden. Rob was one of the speakers, and his topic was about the topic of “how to launch a startup.” Rob's a pretty easy-going speaker, with well-thought-out slides and a gentle progression. Until midway, when the entire presentation seems to stop for an intermission of sorts. Walling decides to show the audience a video of how his son solves a problem progressively. It's a home video, nothing flashy, yet the audience laughs as they watch the story unfold. How did the video show up in Rob's presentation? It's the same question that could be asked when you attend a Psychotactics and go off scampering for a scavenger hunt. Right in the middle of the workshop, there's a peculiar assignment. The pre-assigned groups are given 30 minutes to go out and find a whole bunch of items, return and then upload the pictures to the blog. The next day each group makes a presentation; the best entry is chosen by popular vote, and there's a tiny little prize ceremony. You noticed the fun element in both the examples, didn't you? The question is: how did they get there? And the answer becomes pretty apparent even as the question is being asked. Someone has to put it there, because yes, it may show up quite by chance. However, in most cases, the creator of the product or service has to be proactive enough to put in the fun elements. Your product or service needs this break as well Why should it be? When I went to school, we had a short break of 15 minutes, then a lunch break of an hour. We'd race out of the class at break time, so we could get onto the playground. Was the play connected in any way to our biology or physics class? Of course not, but the fact that someone decided to have the short and long break enabled us to study and play on every given day. Your product or service needs this break as well The way to go about creating the entertainment factor is to sit down with the book you're about to write. If you could make it fun, more interesting, what would you do? If you're about to conduct a course online, what do the assignments look like? Is there any space for play? What about your workshops or seminars? Are the participants like prisoners listening to you drone on forever? Or is there some factor of entertainment and play? If you remember picking up a copy of the Reader's Digest, you have this example with “The Lighter Side of” and “Laughter the Best Medicine” in the middle of some pretty serious articles. Someone sat down and said: “Ooh, all of this stuff is intense. We need to lighten up”. Not everyone appreciates the entertainment, of course A scavenger hunt may not go down well with 100% of the participants. Cartoons in a marketing book sound a bit crazy, doesn't it? A door that creaks open on a website (it's going to be on our new website) may seem outlandish. And there are always going to be naysayers. However, by and large, those are the people who wanted to stay in and do their homework while we ran out during school breaks. If they're unhappy with the entertainment factor, don't go around chaining the rest of your group to ol' grumps. Instead, design the event, the book, the product or service with a bunch of fun elements. Look through other books or situations to find inspiration Esquire Magazine may have a joke section—just one joke told by a supermodel. Could you be that supermodel in your book? If you've got a video course, why do you have to be Ms.Serious or Mr.Let's-Get-To-The-End? Have a couple of videos that tell a joke, or show something funny around your neighbourhood. Maybe take a leaf from Rob Walling's book and put in a video about your kid's crazy jokes. The fun part doesn't always have to be disconnected. It can connect quite easily as well. In The Brain Audit, there are sections where there's a whole page of cartoons, and they connect quite precisely. There's also a total disconnect with a butter chicken recipe. Do what you please: connect or disconnect at will. • Crossword puzzles • Recipes • Funny home videos • Cartoons • Stories • Case studies These are just some ways to entertain your audience while educating them As this article demonstrates, entertainment isn't just a nice-to-have. Instead, it's a necessity. Sometimes it is the reason why people show up. Sometimes it's the reason why they stay and continue. And sometimes the entertainment may be right at the end, like when David Attenborough and his crew put in the “how we made this documentary” as an epilogue of their film. When you see an idea you like, make sure you borrow it and use it well. We've used ideas from video and used it our books. We've been to a Sting concert and used some of the concepts in our podcasts. You can get ideas from everywhere if you look out for them—and more importantly—implement them. My mother-in-law's Sunday school story didn't end well. She managed to get the kids interested, but jealousy worked against her. She was told to stop the fun bits and focus only on the serious religious teaching, instead. You, on the other hand, aren't going to be pulled up if you add entertainment to your work. However, you have to plan in advance. The entertainment isn't likely to just work its way into your syllabus. Sit down, create the entertainment. Start small and build from there. Work is fun. But play is just as educational, if not more so. Next Up: The Secret of How To Get Clients To Keep Coming Back Repeatedly

Can I fast if I am still nursing and would an intermittent fast be better than extended fasting for the milk?   Hi guys!    I’m excited to see this podcast because I have had so many questions about fasting. Currently I am nursing and most likely will be for another year. Can I still fast? I’m wondering about how fasting affects the milk with all the detoxing that takes place? Would an intermittent fast be better than longer fasts while I’m nursing? I’m currently eating Paleo with white potatoes, but I’m ready to switch over to a ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting using Bulletproof tea with gelatin.   Thanks for your advice!    Kendall  GET A $39 BOTTLE OF OLIVE OIL FOR JUST A BUCK GET YOUR $39 BOTTLE FOR JUST $1 NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   2. Can I fast for a couple of days prior to running a marathon to more efficiently burn fat for fuel during the race?   Hey Jimmy and Megan,   Thanks for doing Fasting Talk. It’s been a useful, professional, and inspirational guide in building my fasting knowledge. I made my first fasting attempt this week and made it 48 hours with my typical intense workouts (hard running on one day and swimming the next day) just to see what would happen. To my surprise, I had lots of energy to power through my workouts. So my question for you guys is this: Is it a good idea to fast for two days prior to running a marathon? My goal is to efficiently burn fat for fuel during the race, so will this strategy help me?   Thanks for take the time to answer my question.   Adriana JIMMY AND DR.

Does pain symptom improvement while extended fasting mean the damaged cells are removed or is it simply the inflammation going down?   Hey guys,   I have been suffering with awful post nasal drip for over a year along with a sore Achilles heel and I thought my running career was over (I’m a long distance runner and keto athlete). I began fasting in January consuming water, tea, and bone broth. By the 36-hour, my post nasal drip had vanished and some tooth pain I was having had disappeared as well. By Day 5, my Achilles pain was 50% more tolerable. I felt so good on Day 7 that I continued my fast. I’m currently on Day 9 and ran 10 miles yesterday. I noticed my Achilles pain was minimal during that run and the morning stiffness I had been experiencing has vanished. Finally, my nagging tennis elbow in my right arm is now pain-free. Does this mean that the fast has perhaps eaten all the damaged cells that were causing all these symptoms? Or is it more likely that my inflammation is down significantly as a result of the fasting to allow healing?   Fasting ROCKS and thanks SO much for your work sharing about it! I’m so excited about this podcast and The Complete Guide To Fasting. THANK YOU!   Theresa    5. Does black coffee activate enzymes in the liver that prevent someone who drinks it during a fast to experience the full benefits?   Hey guys,   Love this podcast! Thank you for all you are doing for people all over the world! Keep up the great work. I was curious, I heard one of your fellow podcasters Dr. Rhonda Patrick (Find My Fitness podcast) state that even black coffee activates some enzymes in the liver. She noted that this means technically a fast that allows for black coffee is not a true fast. Personally, I feel I get the benefits of my 24 and 36 hour fasts even with my black coffee. My question for you is this: In light of this information from Dr. Patrick, can we still experience autophagy and other fasting benefits while drinking coffee? Or do we only get these benefits from a water-only fast?    Thank you!   Kyle RESERVE YOUR TICKETS AT KETOFEST.COM NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship iTunes review: LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 20 – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Get the new lemon-lime flavored Jigsaw Electrolyte Supreme supplement (Get $10 off your order with coupon code “LLVLC”) – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: The world’s freshest and most flavorful artisanal olive oils. Get your $39 bottle for just $1. – JIMMY AND DR.

Brito Pateguana, ND Here’s what Jimmy, Megan, and Dr. Pateguana talked about in Episode 13: FEEDBACK FROM A LISTENER: Hello Jimmy and Megan, I think I know why people say that women cannot fast. I used to be a woman who struggled with fasting but it was because I was making one major mistake that is more common among women and less common among men. Women are much more likely to under-eat by a significant amount of calories, then they overtrain in their workouts, and on top of that try to incorporate fasting into their health strategy. When you under-eat and also fast, the body thinks you are starving and I have heard Dr. Fung speak about this inducing starvation mode. Would you please underscore to your female listeners in particular that if you eat an adequate number of calories when you are feeding that fasting is not only fine but it can actually help to reset your circadian rhythm and other bodily functions? It has helped my body balance my hormones in a way that even nutritional ketosis could not on its own. I would love to start a women's fasting group on Facebook and I hope I can invite you all to join. Thanks again for this great podcast.

Hi Jimmy and Megan, I’m a 56-year old woman who started fasting with a goal of lowering my blood sugar and losing weight. I just finished a 24-day water and black coffee fast and ended my goal of 30 days because of extreme nausea. By Day 8, I started to drag a bit and so I began drinking some homemade bone broth. But then I became nauseous from drinking the broth a couple of days later and ditched that. A few days after that the coffee I was drinking made me nauseous, too. By Day 15, I was only drinking water and pushed my way to Day 24 before ending it. Why did I have such extreme nausea while fasting? Thank you for helping me with this! Corinne KEY QUOTE: “Some people that have more damaged metabolism have a harder time getting into ketosis, and that can cause nausea. ” – Megan Ramos 2. Does fasting make the symptoms of the autoimmune disease Hashimoto’s better or worse? Hi Jimmy and Megan, From what I read about fasting, it seems to be a potential therapy for autoimmune conditions. But thyroid specialist and neurologist Dr. Datis Kharrazian says that one of the 10 mistakes that Hashimoto’s patients make is the following: “When blood sugar gets too low it raises the inflammatory messenger IL-6 and promotes autoimmune flare-ups. Symptoms of low blood sugar are most noticeable between meals or if you skip meals and include shakiness, blurred vision, crankiness and irritability, and loss of function. If you feel a jump in your function and energy after eating it confirms your blood sugar was low—when your blood sugar is stable the only thing you should feel after eating is not hungry. Constantly skipping breakfast and missing meals will aggravate your autoimmune response and promote autoimmune flare-ups.” I know Dr. Fung has said there is no impact to the thyroid when fasting. But do we know what impact fasting has on Hashimoto’s? It seems the autoimmune disease is made worse by fasting, not better. I am under the care of a functional medicine doctor and have adopted all of his proposed lifestyle changes to heal my Hashimoto’s. I tried a two-day fast and saw ketones rise to 7.7 mmol and blood glucose drop to 58 before I broke the fast. It was a water-only fast with sea salt and occasional bone broth. Two days later, I didn’t feel great and developed a sore throat with excessive sleeping. Did I have a flare up of my Hashimoto’s from fasting? Thanks, Maria 3. Does fasting lead to the development of the “keto rash?” Hi Jimmy and Megan, I have been in nutritional ketosis for over two years and have successfully trained for and ran in two marathons over the past year in a fasted state. I have read The Complete Guide To Fasting and have undertaken my first extended fast which lasted four days. During the fast I had a recurrence of what appears to be a so-called “keto rash” which I have had on and off since I've been eating ketogenic. I am wondering if Dr. Fung has seen this in his fasting and ketogenic patients and what could be causing this. Is this something to be concerned about when fasting?

What is the shortest fasting time for getting the autophagic benefits of fasting and do adding in nutrients negatively impact autophagy? Hey guys, I was afraid of dealing with hunger and stressful work situations at the same time if I fasted. But hearing Jimmy talk about drinking kombucha and bone broth during his fast was my "aha" moment! And I have now lost 14 pounds in 6 days doing intermittent fasting for 24 hour while enjoying coffee with cream and Perrier eating only one low-carb meal a day. But I am interested in getting the benefits of autophagy with my fasting. So I have a few questions about this: 1) What's the shortest fasting window to still trigger significant autophagy? 2) Do MCT oil, small amounts of heavy cream, coffee, bone both or sparkling water negatively impact autophagy? Thanks guys! Melodie 5. Is it advisable for someone who is not overweight to engage in a fast? Hi Jimmy and Megan, Fasting seems to be most helpful for obesity and diabetes control. But there are so many other benefits of fasting that are extremely crucial for all of us, not just those with weight and blood sugar issues. I am in the minority and feel like a minority because I am not overweight and I have pretty much have been the same weight forever. What kind of fasting if any would be advised for someone like me who is not dealing with excess weight but would like to get the other benefits of fasting such us immune system reset? It seems to me our ancestors, who were not overweight, were fasting without any major negative impact on their health. Is fasting just for overweight people? Thank you for all you do, Maria KEY QUOTE: “When you're losing fat from fasting, it's not that you've reduced calories, it's the fact that you've reduced insulin and the fat can be released.” – Jimmy Moore 6. Isn’t the half-pound of body fat you lose daily while fasting simply “calories out?” Hey Jimmy and Megan, Dr. Fung has thoroughly debunked the calories in, calories out model numerous times. But when he talks about the two compartment model, he notes that the fact that a pound of fat contains about 3500 calories of energy. So while fasting you can lose about half a pound of body fat a day. So my question to you is this: Wouldn’t that be considered "calories out?” If so, then is the “calories out” equation different from the “calories in” one?

Hey guys, I greatly enjoyed reading The Complete Guide to Fasting and I love this new podcast. My question for you guys is regarding the use of fiber while fasting. What is your opinion about taking fiber-based supplement powders that are devoid of any sugar or artificial sweeteners? I typically take a combination of different kinds of fibers like inulin, acacia, glucomannan, psyllium, and flax. I did not see this addressed in your book.

You recently answered a question of mine about whether I could fast for three days on and three days off to get the autophagic results of an extended fast. I was concerned because I didn't think I could do an extended fast because of my very physical job. Well, long story short, I completed a 26-day fast running solely on water, green tea, and KetoAide (which is a blend of water, light salt for sodium and potassium, and magnesium citrate). I felt fine, had plenty of energy, needed very little sleep, watched some scary stuff come out of my body, dropped 30 pounds, and kept off 18 of it since ending the fast. I could have physically continued to fast, but it was somewhat mentally taxing more than physically—and I just lost the will to continue it. So I broke the fast with a handful of black olives and almonds and then had a nice three egg veggie omelet an hour later. Pure bliss! Thanks again for all you guys do! Happy Fasting! Gary HOT TOPIC: Does fasting raise or lower your cholesterol numbers? Hey Jimmy and Megan, Here’s a hot topic idea for your Fasting Talk podcast. How exactly does fasting impacts your cholesterol? I’ve heard you say how it lowered your cholesterol, but my doctor said fasting would raise mine. And he was right. I had my blood lipids drawn after a 5-day water-only fast as prescribed in The Complete Guide To Fasting and my numbers were wrecked as you’ll see in my results below. I was ketogenic in the before starting fasting, so this is a shock. I would love to hearing a discussion about this on your podcast. Maybe it only works for people with already high cholesterol levels? Here are my numbers after fasting compared with keto: Total cholesterol 255 -- previously 197 Triglycerides 169 -- previously 84 HDL 41 -- previously 69 LDL 180 -- previously 121 Any thoughts? Brady JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 1. Is the fat-burning from a water fast equivalent to the fat-burning from being in a state of ketosis? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I have water fasted for 21 days and many shorter ones for spiritual reasons. I know what it's like to have zero hunger after 3 days of no food. I have plenty of energy to walk and lift light things, but I’m not ready for eight hours of hard labor during a water fast. When I’m in nutritional ketosis, I also have no hunger but I’m able to do heavy lifting and do a full eight hours of hard labor work without trouble. I'm guessing the body fat burns better when we eat fat and protein on eating days than when we water fast. But we have plenty of stored body fat to fuel us when we fast. So my question is this: why can't I do my normal routine that includes a very physically demanding job on just a water fast and have the same amount of energy as I experience in nutritional ketosis? It seems they are accomplishing the same thing and should work equally. What say you? Steve 2. Does the autophagy that fasting produces cause any pain? And can that process prevent weight loss? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I’m currently in Day 7 of my fast and for the past three days my lower body, including my calves, quads, glutes, hips, and lower back, has been so sore that it has prevented me from getting adequate sleep. Full disclosure, these areas in particular are stressed in my daily life already. But fasting seems to make it worse. Could this pain be associated with the autophagy that is happening while I’m fasting? Could this be why I haven’t lost any weight during my fast? I’m consuming clear homemade vegetable broth made from carrots, onions, parsley, and celery over the past couple of days, so maybe there in an insulin response to consuming this. This has been a disaster for me and I’d love to hear your perspective on what might be going on. Thanks for considering my questions for your show.

Can a gastric sleeve making longer fasting contraindicative? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I had a gastric sleeve put on three years ago and I have been LCHF off and on for most of that time shifting to keto three months ago. I have been playing around with intermittent fasting since 2015 but decided to give an extended fast a go in 2017. My goal was to fast for as long as I could, but by Day 4 I started to feel nauseous and threw up after taking my salt in the morning. By Day 5 it got worse and I broke the fast. I actually felt so horrible that I called my doctor who recommended taking pain medications and rest. My blood pressure got very high during the fast and I felt so uncomfortable from this experience. Within a few days I felt better and was back to normal again. I don’t know why I reacted so badly, but was wondering if my gastric sleeve was the reason why my extended fasting attempt was an abysmal failure. Have you seen any patients in my situation who have had a similar experience? I really want to do extended fasts to experience the benefits that come from doing it. Thanks for you help!

Listen in today as Jimmy and Jason answer your questions about all things fasting in Episode 5. JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS Jimmy and Jason respond to Dr. Phinney's concerns about fasting in Episode 5: - Labels fasting as a “fad” saying it will produce major pushback from the health authorities when people start dying suddenly - Getting adequate fluid, potassium, and sodium with an intermittent fast up to 24 hours is benign - After 24 hours of no calorie intake, the body starts breaking down protein from lean tissue - By Day 3 of fasting, the rate of lean tissue loss is equivalent to 3/4 pound per day - The data on extended fasting in THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO FASTING is misstated - If someone fasts for three days a week, the amount of lean tissue lost is greater than the amount of lean tissue they can regain in the other four days - Doesn’t believe that my 10-pound lean tissue loss (according to DXA) during my 28 of 31 day fast in January 2016 was water, claims it would take 40 days of eating again to recover this loss (actually a follow-up DXA two weeks later showed all of that 10-pound “lean tissue” loss was back on my body again—so he’s mistaken) - When someone fasts for a prolonged period of time, you’re vulnerable to “refeeding syndrome” (WWII prison camp prisoners suddenly died when they were fed copious amounts of food following extended fasting) - There’s an acute shift in minerals out of the bloodstream into the cells causing an impairment of heart function - The Liquid Protein Diet is used as an example of sudden death from refeeding syndrome that was reported as happening because of ketones…it shut down the science on ketosis for two decades - For some people, a 36-hour fast is fine as long as the other 5 1/2 days of eating have adequate minerals (apparent contradiction of his earlier statement) - We need research that shows long-term, positive, sustainability for people who are fasting to reverse diabetes and reduce body fat that goes 1-2 years - With two-week fasting or longer, the rate of protein breakdown comes down markedly. First day of fasting produces very little protein breakdown, the rate of protein breakdown peaks on the third day of fasting, by two weeks the lean tissue loss is about one-third pound lean tissue loss daily and at 28 days it’s a quarter-pound a day of lean tissue loss (another contradiction of earlier statements) - If you only look at urea, then the lean tissue loss seems to be much less but ammonia, creatinine, and other byproducts all make up the lean tissue loss as well so urea doesn’t give the entire picture. - It’s unethical to write a book telling people to start fasting on their own (and yet we mention to consult with a physician often throughout our book) - I’m not saying fasting is wrong, but we don’t know what the truth is - Getting adequate potassium and magnesium is critically important and you’re not getting these when you are fasting iTunes review:   FREE N=1 TRACKING TOOL AT HEADS UP HEALTH BECOME A NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER Sign up by February 6, 2017 for the 9-month program NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 5 – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner through the Nutritional Therapy Association at NutritionalTherapy.com – JIMMY AND DR.

You know how important your list is to your business' growth. If you're measuring your list's health in terms of numbers, it can really get you down sometimes. It's easy to feel like the fate of your business is at a standstill until your list numbers in the thousands (or at least the high hundreds). My guest on the podcast today is going to blow that myth out of the water! Rachel Luna is living proof that you don’t need a gigantic list to gain success. What really matters about your list isn’t the number of names and addresses on it, but the quality of those people in terms of their engagement with you. Rachel’s success story is really a one-two punch. Not only does she show the power of what you can do with a highly engaged list, but she’s also a stellar example of how to do affiliate marketing right. If you’ve thought about doing affiliate marketing but haven’t tried it…or if you’ve gone through it before with mediocre results…Rachel’s story is going to truly inspire you. And you’re also going to love the freebie Rachel created for us this week: it’s called the Confident Affiliate Marketing Starter Guide. You can get it by clicking here! Secrets of an Affiliate Marketing Superstar Last spring, Rachel worked with my business coach Todd Herman and chose to be an affiliate promoter of his 90-Day Year program. As a business/life coach to other entrepreneurs, Rachel is ultra-focused on taking action and setting goals, which made her a perfect fit for this promotion. Her message is all about breaking through negative thoughts and limiting beliefs to achieve the success you want. This promotion really gave her a chance to practice what she preached. Rachel came into Todd's affiliate program with a list just over 5000. That may sound like a lot, but bear in mind she was working among affiliates who had lists upward of 100k! She was a small fish in a very big pond. Actually, I also happened to be working with Todd as an affiliate for this program, as well. And as the promotion got going, I started seeing this name I'd never heard before popping up on the leader board. Her numbers were going up at an astonishing rate. Other affiliates were starting to talk about her. "Who is this Rachel Luna, and what is her secret?" Finally, I decided to get in touch with her to find out just that. And today she is sharing the secrets of her affiliate marketing success with all of us! Click here to start listening now. The Steps to Affiliate Marketing Success Rachel had done a few affiliate promotions in the past--by the time she got involved with Todd's 90-Day Year program, she had some solid standards for success in place: She had rules to determine which affiliate programs she participates with. Rule #1 is not to promote anything she has not personally used. Rachel knows that to keep her list's trust, she has to limit her promotions to things that she knows will work and that she can offer knowledgeable support around. She had a plan. It’s easy to think that because you’re working for someone else, you don’t have to put as much work into your launch. But Rachel really makes her affiliate partner’s business her own. She even created a Facebook group where she shared the details of her own success in using Todd’s program. She had a revenue goal. This was Rachel’s fourth ever affiliate promotion, and she’d built up her capability over the previous three times. So this time, her goal was $14,000. She set expectations. Right from the beginning, she let her audience know how long she’d be offering this free content from Todd. Doing this created urgency, and it also let anyone who wasn’t interested know that she wasn’t giving up her own brand forever. She kept her audience engaged and accountable. Throughout the promotion, Rachel took a proactive approach to her audience. Every time content or a video was released, she would check in with her audience, tell them her takeaways and ask for theirs, keep tabs on whether they were doing their workbook exercise--whatever it took to keep them engaged. In essence, she treated the pre-launch content as if it were the program itself. "If you can help them get results right from jump street, they trust you, and it helps them fall in love with the program." Find out more about how Rachel achieved such amazing affiliate success! Click here to listen now. Overcoming Your Setbacks You can see why Rachel was blowing us all away with her climbing numbers! This made it all the more devastating when, just one week before the official program kickoff, Rachel’s website got hacked. Everything she had planned for her promotion—blogs, sales pages, bonus materials that she’d created for her audience—was gone. Rachel considered not even doing the promotion. She’d spent hours putting all this together, only to have it wiped out overnight. But after talking with Todd, she decided to keep moving forward and see what happened. "I sent off that first email which I had taken the time to write really well. I was very thoughtful about it. I was very intentional because I wanted to make sure it was something that would resonate with my audience." And oh, did it ever resonate. By Day 1 of the promotion, Rachel had made $10k…almost 75% of her revenue goal. By Day 2, she’d surpassed her goal by $2000. By the time the launch ended, Rachel had made a $53,000 profit, almost four times her goal amount. By the way, this little fish, ended up finishing fourth overall out of all the affiliates promoting the program. Amazing! You Don't Need a Big List to Get Big Results Rachel shares a lot more details of what made her affiliate launch such a staggering success--how much she spent on Facebook ads, how she structured bonuses for her audience, etc.--in the full podcast episode. And of course you'll want to download her amazing freebie, the Confident Affiliate Marketing Starter Guide.  EPISODE FREEBIE Get the Confident Affiliate Marketing Starter Guide FREE DOWNLOAD But the biggest takeaway, in my view, was that Rachel didn't let the size of her email list stop her. She could have put off Todd's program until next time it came around, telling herself she was going to wait until her list was bigger. But instead, she took action with what she had, focused on maximizing her strengths, and didn't let setbacks slow her down. "Sometimes, in my experience as a life coach, people aren’t so focused on taking action, they are focused on feeling better. They were happy with mediocre results. I want to have the best, most exciting. I want big."
