The two-person show won the Best in Venue and Underdog awards that year. Now, she's delighted to share that the show is back at Open Eye Theatre in Minneapolis. The show is created and performed by Corey Farrell and Nigel Berkeley, who attended the University of Minnesota / Guthrie Theater BFA Actor Training program together. The show opens tonight and runs through Sept 22.  Maria says: “Moonwatchers” is a show where there's two office workers, and their job just happens to be watching the moon and making sure that things happen on time — just a normal office job — but something goes awry when somebody steals the moon. Now they have to go on an adventure to go find it. This is a two-person show where they play multiple characters. There's Space Cowboys, there's aliens, cows, space Jane Austin and space grass. It's just a lot of silly and fun.— Maria GhassemlouCloudland celebrates DIY spiritPhil Schwarz of Minneapolis volunteers at Extreme Noise Records, and he wants people to know about Cloudland Theater, a 150-seat music venue on East Lake Street that celebrates its first anniversary this fall. He describes Cloudland as filling a need for a small venue for DIY musicians (read: artist book gigs themselves) outside of a traditional bar setting. Phil says: There's not a lot of smaller venues in town. And when venues came back [after pandemic closures], there was an explosion of new bands and stuff, and a lot of these venues were a lot harder to book shows in, so Cloudland came along at a perfect time. The shows are very intimate: you can converse with the musicians and stuff like that, and it's very kind of communal.  I'm super excited for Feast of Lanterns, which features Alan Sparhawk of the band Low and also Pete Biasi, who used to be in a great post-punk band from here called Signal to Trust. It's kind of different than what Alan's done with Low: I would say noise punk and more abrasive. They will be playing Saturday, September 21 at Cloudland.— Phil SchwarzPortraits of fame on displayGabi Marmet is a senior at The Blake School in Minneapolis, where she works on the student journal, Spectrum. She had a chance to interview Blake alum Thea Traff, who has photographed portraits of President Joe Biden, the Rolling Stones, Rachel Weisz, Sofia Coppola and Jessica Chastain, among a host of other entertainers and newsmakers, for such publications as The New Yorker and New York Times Magazines. A selection of her mostly black and white photography is on display at the Bennett Gallery at the Blake School, open to the public through early October. Gabi was struck by how Thea got her start as a Blake student taking photographs, and how her current schedule means sometimes she'll get a call and have 48 hours to show up and photograph a subject.  Gabi says: They're all very different styles, depending on the person. The Rolling Stones looked like they were having such a fun time in their photo shoot; they were just like laughing or like smiling really big.(Most impressive photography subject, in Gabi's opinion? Actor and singer Ben Platt — Gabi's a fan.) — Gabi Marmet

In today's episode of Welcome to Cloundlandia, we speak about the importance of making bets and guesses in today's shifting environment and how the eight profit activators form the foundation of any successful business.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Have you ever thought about how taking risks and making educated guesses can impact your life and career? This podcast explores just that, drawing from personal experiences like dealing with an Alzheimer's diagnosis and the COVID-19 pandemic.. If you're looking to build a successful business, you'll want to check out this podcast. It breaks down the eight profit activators that every successful business needs and how they work together to create a powerful blueprint for success. When it comes to running a business, finding the right target market is key. One way to do that is by writing a book that draws in prospects. It's all about knowing your audience. Even with all the changes happening in the world today, the eight profit activators discussed in the podcast remain relevant no matter what situation you're in. Did you know that the Shekel currency has a fascinating history? This podcast explores that, as well as the exciting advancements being made in chat and AI applications. Want to boost productivity on your team? Consider integrating AI to handle tedious tasks, freeing up team members to focus on the things they're best at.

Dan Sullivan How are? Dean Jackson you. Welcome to Cloudland, thank you very much, i usually just hit on recent. Dan Sullivan I just hit. Usually hit on recent phone call and you're usually there. But I was in London all week and Babs and I were face face, face timing it all week. Dean Jackson So I was looking for your number that. Dan Sullivan I could share. Dean Jackson Well, how was your whirlwind adventure? Dan Sullivan Well, it was great Babs couldn't go. She had she developed a really bad, you know sore throat for a couple days before and she just thought that the overnight flight would not do her any good. Dean Jackson No. Dan Sullivan So, anyway, i kept the trip short. I arrived on Monday morning and I flew out on Friday, but we had an all day. we had an all day session. We had a morning workshop for anybody who would want to come you know which mostly signature. And then there were some 10 times people And then in the afternoon I did it just for 10 times and free zone And as a great treat, evan Ryan and Keegan Caldwell were both in London. Dean Jackson And they came over. Dan Sullivan they came over for the day, so I spotlighted them. Oh very nice. We're just. We're starting with Keegan, i was starting with Evan. Our whole company is going to go through a six to two hour Zoom program on. AI. Ai is your teammate, okay, and so that starts in the near future. Those who are above my security clearance will be handling the exact details. And then I had Keegan talk about the IP, and that was, that was a treat, and so it went really, really well. You know we had about 80 in the morning. they had scheduled train strike in Britain on Thursday, so I suspect we probably lost about 40. And at least I scheduled it tonight. I hate when somebody strikes without any advance. Dean Jackson Let you know we're not. we're not coming in on Thursday. Yeah, yeah. Dan Sullivan So and the UK's train country, because it's got very dense population. And of course they have they have a lot of well, they have the tube. The tube was fine but that's more or less inside London, But the outer, you know when they come from one of the outer towns or cities and they take one of the trains. Dean Jackson And and. Dan Sullivan But in the afternoon I did the whole thing for three hours on. Get your best guesses and bets, which is a. It's a real wake up call. It's a wake up call for a lot of people that. I said you know the people who are predicting this and predicting that. You know, in the world today they're guessing, actually they're. They're making a guess and they want to do it persuasively so that you'll bet on their guess. You know and that. that is my definition of marketing You try to get other people to bet on your bet on your guess. Dean Jackson I like this a lot. Yeah, i wanted to talk a little about that. That's a part of the new book. Dan Sullivan It's part of the new book. The three rules are everything's made up, nobody's in charge, life's not fair. And if you put that, if you put that together, then there's a whole series of other things that flow out of the putting the three rules Everything's made up, nobody's in charge, life's not fair. Nobody's stopping you from nobody's stopping you from making stuff up Right. And every everybody, everybody who sees or experiences you're making up some new, might feel that that's not fair. And that's not fair, yeah, if you're doing that, but you're not responsible for how you feel, how they feel, right. Dean Jackson Right, right, yeah, so so amazing. So a very was your. How was that message kind of received in London? What's there? what's on their minds? What kind of guessing and betting are they doing? Dan Sullivan Yeah, well, you know, we immediately take them into an exercise where they just look at their you know their, their life and their career, you know. so what are the best guesses? you didn't. it wasn't certain at all, you were just guessing that. I might want to go in this direction, so, but you're basing it on certain signals that you're picking up from the world in which you live. And you say you know, i think, i think if we did this, we would get a reward for our effort And and then there's certain other guesses, which are possibilities that you actually bet on. You know, and you know and we've discussed this before of different things that you and I have been the past bet on, which has more or less brought us to where we are right now. Dean Jackson And I've been reflecting on, you know, going back again over the, i've been identifying them as chapters. You know periods where I think that there's like distinct, like vector points in about every four years. For for me, if I go all the way back to 1980. And even drew before that, but from 1980, you know, from 80 to 84, my kind of high school years, and 84 to 88 was really well, those whole eight years were really all about tennis and the last four in Florida. Then, you know, coming back 88, to two chapters in a row really of real estate, my real estate career in that beginning, And I just look at how neatly it fits into the things. And there's been some wild card chapters too in there, like I looked at, i think, about my mom being diagnosed with Alzheimer's, you know as a wild card chapter that was really four years from diagnosis till she passed. And then I look at we're in the middle now of 2023, which at the end of this year the COVID, you know chapter will have been four years. We've been in this chapter, which I think we're finally, you know, on the tail end of closing that chapter now, fingers crossed right. And so, looking back at those things, it's kind of an interesting, just looking at that rhythm, that there's a lot of those things that there's no way to have seen more than two chapters ahead. What's actually? Dan Sullivan going to come. Dean Jackson Like I looked at a lot of the things that we're doing right now. We're not even like conceivable back four chapters ago. It's not possible. But I think you can make pretty good guesses and bets in that four year timeframe. You know, with a you can see contextually where things are going to go. But I look at it that you know, we, in the context of the big change, all the things that were happening from 1900 and 1950, those were sort of you know, you could see them coming in a way right. Because they were all just furthering advancements of things that were. The seed of them was already in place And you could. You could have predicted, once electricity was set in, that people are going to go. This is pretty, pretty, pretty good. Let's get it everywhere you know and once people you know, once you crack the code on moving pictures, that's just and radio. what if we combined moving pictures and the radio and we could send them through the airwaves? you know all those things were, the seeds of them were were there, and I look at it now and I wonder, you know, looking at it right now, in the cup of where we are, what you know, it seems much foggier initially to kind of think out 25 years. I mean nothing seems too outlandish now when you start to think like, will we be, will we be teleporting in 25 years? I mean, who knows, you know? I mean it's so, so crazy. Dan Sullivan Yeah, yeah, it's interesting. I came across a term and it was from a very, very early kind of commentator on the impact that technology has and it's just looking at it the other day, and it's by a French. Call him a philosopher, and Jacques Loll that's the name, and he wrote a book in 1980, which was called The Technological System, and he said that there's some very identifiable characteristics that technology has, and the one that kind of got to me around the area of guesses and bets is one called causal, causal progression, and in you know, sort of simple terms, what it means is that when you have a capability, you tend to try to push that into a, you try to push that into a very impactful kind of resource that you have you have a capability, And then you're lining it up best guesses who will be eager to take advantage of this capability, okay, And then, and you know, and that's where bets come in, because the way they show their interest is actually by betting on you. And that feeds. that's like that feeds the confidence that you have about this particular capability is of being useful. So if I take you back 1988, that's not 88, but maybe would 98 be a better, because that would be 25 years ago 25 years yeah. Yeah, so what capability did you already have at that time? that was your bias. You almost had a bias for what kind? of opportunities you're looking for, because you can match up that capability with an opportunity. Dean Jackson So I had the framework for what is the eight profit activators then, but already you know I had the framework, the underlying system of that, as I saw that as a universal kind of bedrock system that identified what are the things that are going to be absolutely true Like. If you look at each of the eight profit activators, you still no matter what this concept of a before unit, a during unit and an after unit, underlined with the, you know, accepting a single target market and compelling prospects to call you and educating and motivating and making offers, those things were. I saw those as the universal, you know, the contextual truth that is not going to change. Dan Sullivan Well, it's kind of like a supply wheel and. I said each. You know the eight profit activators. One of them is necessary but, with just one of them, you might not get much action or result from it. So it's actually a stack. You know, there's a sort of people are calling things stack, but these are habit, these are capability and habit activators that you're talking about, but they're all integrated into a single system where, if you improve on one of them, the improvement is felt by the other seven. Dean Jackson And every element of a business fits within those in the marketing of a business fits in that framework. Dan Sullivan So that was the beginning of it And I really And this is the basis of the blueprint, the breakthrough blueprint, the breakthrough blueprint. Dean Jackson Yes, applying these eight profit activators, overlaying it on top of your business to create a blueprint for breakthrough is you can have a breakthrough by dialing in the perfect target audience Or shifting your focus to It's perfectly dovetails with the largest check concept. If you think about if we were just to select a target market of your largest check clients, let's lock that in. Now we'll move on to profit activator too. Notice what would compel your largest check prospects, if they're invisible or visible prospects, to raise their hand and say I'm interested in this. And this is where a book comes into play, that I look at a book as the And. I go to profit activator tool to get and identify in a conversation with your ideal prospect, and so overlaying this idea of visible prospects versus invisible prospects is The way I describe that is, if your prospect is chiropractors, those are, those are visible prospects and you can get a list of them and point to them. There's one, there's one, there's one, there's one. You can see who they are specifically. But if you're a chiropractor, your prospects are invisible because you can't get a list of people who just woke up with a twisted back this morning or pulled their backs in the garden yesterday or those things. So you have to draw those people out towards you And that's where a book is like the ideal thing If you've got a book that says on the title, beyond cover, exactly what somebody wants. I work, you know Dr Milke, the podiatrist in Milwaukee I think he's in 10 times, so I've been working with him for some time now but we did a series of books and one of them is the planter fascitis solution, and so we advertise that book on Facebook in a radius around his practice, around his office there, and people raise their hand and say, oh, i want the planter fascitis solution. And now he's in conversation with someone who's his ideal prospect. So that level of I just look at applying those things, that, as we look back, and I think about the conversation that you and I had 10 years ago that led to the Breakthrough Blueprint live event was what is the thing that would be fascinating? Dan Sullivan and motivating, fascinated and motivate you for your whole life. Dean Jackson Yeah, for 25 years And here we are, you know, 10 years later, and I'm still fascinated and motivated by the idea of applying the eight profit activators to all kinds of businesses. It's fascinating. Dan Sullivan Well, here's an interesting thing about predictions. I mean, i just passed my 79th birthday, so 1944, i was born And I would say that in my entire conscious experience, which started around 1950, we are in the midst of the greatest amount of multidimensional shifting that I've seen in my entire life, and it's taking place on the economic level. It's the same thing on politics, social, cultural and geographically, demographically almost anything that any area by which things are organized to make things you know have sense and have direction and everything. All those things are shifting And I think they're shifting in fairly unpredictable ways. In other words, we don't know what it's going to have. But just to go back to your process, it seems to me that it really doesn't matter what's happening. There will be individuals for whom they're looking for a system that identifies at any given time their profit activators. Dean Jackson That's exactly right, it doesn't matter It doesn't really matter. Dan Sullivan It doesn't really matter who it is, what industry they're in, where they live now. Now that we have Zoom, and so my sense is that, but the thing about it is that you're not really, really. you're way past the question. I wonder what individuals in the future will be looking for, because they'll be looking for you, regardless of what they're doing and what their situation is. Dean Jackson Yeah, i mean, that's really, I think, the. Dan Sullivan Profit is not a brand new notion. Exactly. Dean Jackson I wonder what the history of profit I mean you mentioned. I have a recollection of you mentioning something about the history of profit making And Well. I mean As a concept. Dan Sullivan Yeah, i mean it's got to be, in a certain sense, not necessarily the word. They wouldn't necessarily have that word because that's peculiar to the language, but yeah. But I mean I just can't imagine, when you have a growth of a human community, that there's the thing that somebody knows how to provide something of value that returns them more than they spend to deliver what they're delivering, or I mean, that's not the core of entrepreneurship, right? Well, I think it's the core of humanity. I think it's the core of humanity, And that I mean it took a long time to get to a point where you could have what we call a currency to have a currency, you know, i mean where you had that understanding of money and you actually had a vehicle, a money type vehicle, that you could do it. I mean, that's fairly recent, so this you know, goes back from what I understand, goes back a couple of fourth, I'll say 4,000 years. It was called the Shekel, It was created in the Middle East and what's Mesopotamia? So which is in the Iranian kind of the Iranian, if you're going east Iran and you know, and Pakistan and everything, And but for a couple of thousand years the grain barley was used as a medium of exchange. You know I think it was 2000 years and that would take us right up to, you know, maybe 3000 years ago, you know so, 1000 BC, and I think that that's when what's now called Mesopotamia created a coin that had a hundred It was. You could take bits. They would divide it into sections and you could snap off. It's made of silver and you could snap off one of the little pies you know so they'd have it pie, and then you know if you gave to him. That was called two bits. You know two bits for really. Dean Jackson Oh, really Okay. Dan Sullivan Six bits. Yeah, that's for our term, but yeah, and you know, and that was a capability then you know, people didn't have to take a wagon load of barley. The reason why barley is barley is a main ingredient of beer And so it was a food, but it was also a grain which, even till this day, can grow on soil that has a high salt content. Okay, Wheat wouldn't do it, Rye wouldn't do it, Oats wouldn't do it, but barley did it. So it was a very durable food. You know you could pay things with the barley, But Peter Zion talks a lot about this in his latest book. You know the end of the world is just just beginning. Yeah, And but anyway. But in the background, regardless of what you're using as a medium of exchange, people are looking for profit. Dean Jackson That's an interesting thing I've been loving. I've been calling the. You know what we've been playing as the cooperation game, you know that we've, since we banded together to say you go do the hunting and I'll be the gathering, we'll meet back at camp. you know that, that that level of collaboration, is that the core of it. But interesting, I mean. I love those kind of thoughts. So, even though no matter where the we kind of all the excitement and all the sort of game changer feeling is when all the attention at the spotlight goes on one particular element of it, you know, like every all eyes right now, of course, are on chat And that's where all the attention, the whole you know the flock has, you know, descended on on this. All the attention is on it And but I think it's really like that's one piece of the big thing I don't know where. You know it's hard to predict. Maybe I'm saying that maybe it's not hard to predict, but it feels uncertain how to, how to predict what the 25 year, you know path of AI and chat, and I think it's what that go, you know yeah, and you can. Dan Sullivan you can, you know, you can support your statement there by just going back to when the microchip was just being talked about in the early 70s, Maybe 75, there was a growing awareness of this thing which had been developing really since the Second World War. Yeah, you know that there was a invention where you could process information on the invention And then, if you go forward, from 75 to 2000, you know 98 was the cell phone you know and and you you already had the internet by them and you had apps. You had apps by them. I think those would have been hard to predict in 1975. Dean Jackson Absolutely. Yeah, i mean, you know where you went from there. If you look at the evolution that was calculators and and digital watch, i'm not saying that there wasn't someone. Dan Sullivan I'm not saying there, but there wasn't someone or a number of people who weren't predicting. I'm just saying it was making no real impact. Dean Jackson Yeah right. Dan Sullivan Exactly General public's point of view, you know and now, you know, but even here with the chat, gpt and the other AI applications, because there's really hundreds of these out there that are very specific uses- of AI. And that people say well, the whole world knows about it. And I said I'll eat billion. I'll eat billion. Dean Jackson What about? Dan Sullivan the three. What about the three million who don't don't really have steady, reliable electricity, you know? Dean Jackson you think they're? Dan Sullivan chatting. You think they're chatting about it. You know you think they're talking about this. And I said and the other thing is that virtually all the news about this and the development and the investment, you know, the explosion of investment that's going into these It's, it's all in the English language. You know, i don't think for example, i just came back from the UK and very little awareness is not being written up in London as a boatload of different kinds of newspapers. I'm seeing anything about AI, you know, and even our day with strategic coach clients last Thursday in London. They brought it up because Evan Ryan was there, so I had him talk about this And he said a whole bunch of people got, came up and said boy, you know, this is taking me kind of by surprise. These are speaking people. So my sense is. You know that it's fairly, fairly specific. Let's say maybe 50 million, 50 million people who are probably English speaking Americans. English speaking Americans, you know, and they're. I don't see the Canadian government talking about it. You know, and you know I get the national every day than the national post And you know not much, talk about it, not much. You know few articles here, a few articles here. But if you go to the Wall Street Journal any day, you know which, you know there's probably 15 or 20 articles of one kind on it, yeah, yeah. Dean Jackson And you just see all the. Dan Sullivan So I think this is an interesting. I think this is profoundly unfair, mm, hmm. Dean Jackson What do you think? Well, what's the summary of of Evan's take on this Like, where's he uniquely thinking? Dan Sullivan Well, he said that the technology is meaningless unless you examine the teamwork that you want to improve. Dean Jackson Mm, hmm. Dan Sullivan He says just learning how to do chat, g, p, t without applying that to teamwork probably isn't going to get you anywhere. Dean Jackson Mm, hmm, yeah to a, as he did from the start. some examples of how it could be an exponential in teamwork. Dan Sullivan Well, again what we're, the way I understand it, starting because you know these are very, very high on the hierarchy decisions, you know so you know, I'm informed that a decision has been made. Dean Jackson I'm talking about my company Yeah yeah. Dan Sullivan Yeah, and I'm not joking. You know I'm not joking, because, no, i get it, but the you know the 12 hours have to be freed up because we want at least 80% of our team members to be on those calls. You know, so there's a schedule, there's a scheduling project that has to go. We have to find, you know, we have to find he's doing it on zoom. So it's not a question of his availability. I mean, he's the one who offered, you know, this. offered in the sense that he said would you pay for it? And we said, would you pay me for this? And we said, yeah, we really would. And but one of the big things is we're just going after what people are actually working on. So we're going to have sort of a little research project. It's kind of like in the beginning of the program we asked you to take a quarter you know a normal quarter, 13 weeks And just write down every activity that you do, personal or business. Okay, so we have an inventory and then we put it through a filter. where is this an activity where you're incompetent, or their activities here, where you're actually incompetent but you're kind of forced to do them just out of necessity, and then so incompetent because these aren't doing you any good and they're wearing you out and you're not getting any projectivity from it, but you're still doing it, yeah, and then. And then it'd be like Dean Jackson you know doing all the electrical and plumbing work in his house. You know, probably, probably, yeah, yeah. Or Dan Sullivan driving you know doing pickups and delivering. And then we get to competent where you're, you know your average. You know you're probably good as a lot of people, but it's a chore, you know. And energy you know it's an energy sucking chore. Then you get to excellence and that's where you have real skills. You're above. You know you're better than other people, but there's no spark for you. There's no spark for you, you know. And if you look to head five years and you were still doing just as much of this as you are now, even though you produce excellent. You produce excellent results that went, like you, up that and that. And then there's unique ability and this is the thing that just totally energized you. You can do it all day. At the end of the day. Right, you go eight, 10 hours and you've got more energy than when you started to the day and you're totally. You're so good at this. You don't understand why other people aren't. You know, you just do this and this and this. See how this fits together. You know, like that. And now, they don't see it at all. They don't see it at all. Right. And then the other thing is it's the most valuable thing that people want to pay you for when you're doing this mysterious, easy, easy thing. And so and so we're going to do the same thing with the AI project with Evan. We're going to get everybody to inventory. We're just going to mostly look at work, but we'll include, you know, outside of work and just say, and he's going to give us a series of categories, you know, where you just identify activities that are repetitious, they're always required and you always have to do them, but they're repetitious, and that if there was a machine teammate who could do this in a matter of seconds or minutes, where it takes you hours or days go after that and introduce the AI solution to this. So that would be one where AI is a teammate and the goal would be over six weeks to get you know, probably identify. 80% of of can quite quickly be taken care of by the AI teammate. Dean Jackson Oh, this was great. Dan Sullivan I mean, that's a really good way to think about it. No, i think we'll take a big productivity jump because we have we have a goal that we're at a certain number right now, you know, and it's it's not the highest revenues we've had That was in 2019, but it's a less than a million away. You know it's less than a million away. So and and so we're saying well, if we went 10 times with that, because we've gone 10 times in in 15 years, 15 years ago, when we were one tenth what we were last year one tenth of that So in 15 years we went 10 times And but do that without adding more than another 20 individuals to the payroll. Yeah, yeah. Dean Jackson That's exciting Yeah. Dan Sullivan Yeah, And then you'll learn all sorts of things how work gets set up, how, you know, how does, how does this work come into existence? anyway, you know, and and you start developing standards that you know we really shouldn't be, even bringing work like this into the company. Dean Jackson You know it can be done outside Someone's talking about it way of of thinking. he attached their team, his whole team, with and gave them bonuses for figuring out how to replace themselves with AI and and the new tools, kind of thing. Dan Sullivan Yeah, i think the the languaging is really important. You don't talk about replacing yourself. No, exactly, you're replacing an activity and making it automatic that you don't like doing and nobody really likes doing it. Yeah, and that wasn't. Dean Jackson I think I said it wrong. It's automate your, your, your role. Yeah, Because it's yeah, replacing yourself. So yeah, that's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's like maybe that's the thing, It's not a multiply yourself, that's a better framing. Dan Sullivan Yeah, right, yeah, i think that, i think that AI, yeah, yeah, i mean, that's what all the scary movies are about Yeah. And and you know, and a lot of the predictions you know are about that. you know there aren't going to be this or aren't going to be that. And I and I've had occasion to bring up Cyrus McCormick with mentioning you as the thinker here, and I said you know, those 16 other people who now didn't have to do backbreaking work were now freed up to do more specialized work in a growing society. Dean Jackson And they were able to get back to you. Yeah. Dan Sullivan Yeah, so. so the delivery of the food which was required for the entire population from the you know the the harvesting wheat was simplified and made possible with just a farmer or a person on, you know, on the seat of the reaper, with the, you know, with the mule or with the work of 14 men. Dean Jackson Yeah, yeah. Dan Sullivan What was the actual number? was it 14? Yeah, 14 men. Dean Jackson One, yeah, one man with a reaper could do the work of 14 men. Dan Sullivan Yeah, see, yeah That's, that's an enormous savings, but those people were freed up, i mean yeah, not like you know, they were clutching onto that job dearly You know they wanted to take a job. They were taking our jobs, you know, and you know I was planning to do this every year for the next 30 years. You know, and and and you know is that that there's this you know the the thing, like humans aren't adaptable. You know there's a profound belief among people who think about these things from a theoretical standpoint, that, you know, if this happens, human beings won't be able to respond to it. You know, and I said, well history. History says you're not paying attention, people do. They immediately jump, you know, to some new. Dean Jackson That's an interesting framework to really think about. You know, certainly 25 years, you know the runway or whatever, but certainly in the next four years that's. I think that's why they really refer to. I think what Peter Diamandis kind of talked about is the near-term force, the able future, which is, i think it's much easier to make five-year guesses than that kind of thing. Dan Sullivan Yeah, but you know there's a surprising number of the predictions at A360 that were made at our first conference 2011,. that really aren't, you know, like you know VR for one thing is less. VR, you know, and you know it's almost like people are saying, no, i wasn't pushing that. You know I was not a member of the Communist Party. You know I mean it's almost like they're saying no, no, no, you know, it's everything like that. But I remember people standing up there and said you know, the first one's going to be right under Los Angeles. It's going to go from the northern to the south, it's going to go right from, you know, the airport right to the San Fernando Valley right. And then they ran into something called property rights. Right, right, Yeah, yeah and they thought, oh, the city will just override them. And I said well, you know, it's a constitutional issue. It wouldn't be decided in Los Angeles, it would be decided in Congress, you know or the Supreme Court. And you know. But people project a new thing and all is going to give way to it. It is so important And, but I said, wouldn't there be a big traffic jam right where you try to get on the tunnel and really being a traffic jam, you know. I said you know. Just because you can visualize something and you can see yourself taking advantage of it, doesn't mean that you know that Newton's third law will move aside for you. Every action has an opposite and equal reaction. Yeah, but the two that seem to have really really gone even further than was predicted were AI, which I think. I think I was surprised by the chat GTT thing because I didn't know there was something that could be that easy for individuals. I knew that you know large organizations were using it and everything else, but that kind of surprised me. And the other thing is regenerative medicine and you know, using our own stem cells to repair things and to cure things and turning skin cells into any other kind of cell. That to me That's like cracking. That's, like you know, being able to capture and channel and direct electricity. Dean Jackson That seems to me to be a major, really major major thing. But there's the AI combined with that. Dan Sullivan Yeah, ai, that translated where you. They can literally take the cell signals, you know, the signals from the body. They can actually, because we have an electric impulse and they can read. They can duplicate this electronically and then test those electronic signals as if they were actually cells in the body. And they can do 10,000 tests in a time that a manual test takes. Dean Jackson And. Dan Sullivan I said no, that's, that's super. Dean Jackson And I think that's what's going to come like. I think we're going to end up in a sent power situation, like the chef masters, in that the biggest winners of the AI kind of advanced or not the one it's not going to be just AI on its own, it's going to be AI paired with a, you know, with an individual. It's a top flight individual powered with AI that's going to make the biggest impact Absolutely. Dan Sullivan Yeah, it's like. my next quarterly book is called training, training technology like a good dog And I say, you know, a tough guy with a tough dog will beat another tough guy who doesn't have a dog, Exactly and rather than just, or just the dog alone, you know? yeah, that's true, and the dog will be the one who announces the fight. Dean Jackson That's so funny. Yeah, I realized we left last week on a bit of a cliffhanger with the working genius thing. I wondered if you had been able to do your working genius. Dan Sullivan Yeah, it's really good. It put me in a bind because I have other people sign me. I want to, and Patrick Lindsay only you know. I mean he's very well read around our office regarding teamwork and everything like that. So I know who it is now. Yeah, i was going to do it that night, but Becca, who does all this stuff for me, said that she would sign me on when we got back from London. She was busy with a lot of things, and so it's a project. It's a project that will be done this week. But you know, I found the website. It seems like another filter that we can use for, along with Colby and the Strength Finder and Print. Dean Jackson Oh, i think it's fantastic in that. Yeah, i would put it in. I would put it right up there with Colby in terms like Colby is most what is very useful and I think that if I were to rank the four of them. I would put that working genius right up there at the top. More useful than just Strength Finder and more useful than Print. Yeah, they're all a big. I don't think you can ever have too much self-awareness, but I think having the you know, i think usable team dynamic awareness is great. James Drage sent me over. I had my whole team do it and he sent me a. You know, they have charts that show where your team genius is in terms of which team members like. If you're looking to put together a project and you need a, i guess the ideal is that you have someone in each of the components the wonder, invention, the discernment, galvanizing, enablement and tenacity that you've got someone who's a genius at that involved in that process. Yeah, you know the head of that division of it. So it's really neat to see the dynamics of how people can work together, you know. Dan Sullivan Yeah. Dean Jackson Yeah. Dan Sullivan Well, anyway, yeah, So anyway, work proceeds. you know, fly me. you know, 3,000 miles away, and my priority list for the day changes. I got it. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, yeah. London is the greatest walking city that I've ever. Dean Jackson Oh man, you know, one of my favorite memories is our that when we ended up in London at the same time and we spent hours wandering around, Yeah we took that long hike out to that bookstore. Dan Sullivan Yeah, And then we, and then we made our way back to a favorite restaurant of ours one. Dean Jackson Greek street. Right And then yeah, that London's perfect for that. I mean, that was yeah it was. It was dry and sunny kind of the poolside but sunny but there was no rain during the walk. The walk reaches there. Dan Sullivan Yeah. Dean Jackson Yeah. Dan Sullivan But anyway, i'm going to inquire about that And I've got a real project now with that, in advance of starting the AI Azure teammate program. We should have all the staff actually do this working genius exercise. Dean Jackson I think that would be a nice filter And I wonder that's a really interesting thing is that's a nice framework to think how can, how can AI help with? Dan Sullivan That's how we've pre-app your working genius. Yeah right, exactly. Dean Jackson That's an interesting that's a really interesting combinator. It's a triple play. Your unique ability Well, you can work at AI and working genius. Dan Sullivan Yeah, it's kind of funny. You could add the triple play to it. So we got three things. You got the AI as a teammate, working genius and the triple play. I think that would be a nice trifecta. Dean Jackson Yeah, wow, that's all thinking about your thinking. I came up with a new term, dan. I'll plant the seed because I know we're coming up at the top of the hour here. It went so fast this time It always does, but this one's particular, you know, we've been talking about and I've been thinking about the mainland and the land here, but what I've really discovered is I was rereading thinking about your thinking, the small book. We recently had our flood and all the that required us moving things around, and I found a copy of my your small book, the thinking about your thinking. I thought that you know there's a third element of this that I've been calling Dean Blan dia, which is the inner world of thinking about my thinking and spending time there as a destination. And something you said, you know you said it kind of a couple of years ago, whenever you went on, you know, going off TV and stuff, the same thing stuck out at me. I don't know exactly how you said it, but you basically said I realized that what's going on in my own mind is far more interesting and valuable than anything going on in that, on that screen, in that box. Dan Sullivan Yeah. Dean Jackson And how did you articulate? What was the the thought behind that? Because that that it stuck with me for all these years when you said that, yeah, Well, i think you do that too. Dan Sullivan I mean that that both of us, fairly young and like I think, developed the ability to do that, amuse ourselves and entertain ourselves and educate ourselves without needing needing too much outside help and that, and you know, and We've stuck with that a lot. You know way, way beyond what Most people would say. Well, i used to have Interesting times when I when I had time you know where I would just think about things and everything else. Yeah, of course you know I had to go to school and then I had to go out and get a job Right we started, started to pay him and of course I haven't done any kind of thinking like that and I said, yeah, you know, i got you know on a path when I was, you know, somewhere around eight years old, where this was way more interesting. Than anything that I was encountering. The other thing I noticed is that I was interacting with adults and They didn't see how to do this. They didn't seem to do it because when I would bring up You know what was going on when they were eight years old and they were born 1910 or something, and I said wow, wow. And they said geez, i haven't thought about this, you know, it's I. He says here right me to think about think about things that I haven't thought about, and then afterwards They would comment to my mother When they matter her. You know, dan asked questions and they Makes me remember things that I haven't really remembered and I said well, you know, you know and I said hmm. If that had happened to me, I would have been thinking about it. I mean, if that was happening in the world, happening in the world at that time, boy. I all over it, you know and everything like that, and it struck me that people weren't really reflecting On how they were thinking about their experiences. They were affecting on the experience, but they weren't reflecting on how they were thinking about the experience. And so, and that didn't bother me, and because I always like having Secret, unfair advantages- Mm-hmm, i Love that. Dean Jackson I've been thinking you do the? oh, i really do. I've been monitoring and thinking now about You know, my my constant you're. My present thought is less screen time, more dean time. But that's really the thing is, the more I think about just even putting the screen down and just going inside and playing around in in Dean land is a. There's a lot more beneficial stuff going on in the land. Dan Sullivan Yeah, then The other you know, you know who we're really. The organization that was that we both had extensive experience with. That was really on to this way back, you know, 40-50 years ago and as the four seasons. So tell yeah, and they have a motto about their company that we Systematize the predictable, mm-hmm, and so that we can humanize the exceptional. Yeah, and That seems to describe a general principle that Would take advantage of any new technology which allowed you to systematize the predictable. You know, to free up people so that they could be Exceptionally human in any situation and I think that's what we want to do. I mean, i think that's a, that isn't just a Organizational strategy. I think that's That could be. You know, in the 21st century that could be a general human aspiration. You know, i want to get freed up from Doing machine-like work. Dean Jackson I don't want to do machine-like work, you know right. I don't want to. Dan Sullivan I don't want. I don't want to be given tasks where I'm expected to be machine-like I. I'm just not going for that anymore. Dean Jackson Right, i Love it. Yeah, well, i noticed, so I noticed. Next week is Says no Dan podcats on my calendar. Dan Sullivan That's right. Dean Jackson That's right because traveling, we're flying. Dan Sullivan We're flying on Sunday to Chicago. So okay, yeah, so we have. You know, we have the first in person a free zone that week, you know on Thursday, okay and, but we're flying in and we, you know, we Have to see the team and there's all sorts of things, and I have all sorts of. I guess yeah, but the but. The big thing is that The one thing that's not predictable is How people are going to think about the next 25 years. You know you know, predictable, because, right, you know each person's kind of responsible. or Using their own Brain to figure out things. Yeah, yeah and my sense is that Making predictions 25 years from now based on Present priorities and that, i think, doesn't give you much insight, mm-hmm. Dean Jackson I Think gives you directional, you know in some way. But but it's certain, i mean to know it gives you comfort when you start into look at well, what do we know that's going to be true 25 years from now. You know. Dan Sullivan That's really the thing, men are still going to be shaving that's exactly the warm Buffett model, right? Dean Jackson That's exactly yeah yeah, Yeah and yeah, and land things and. Dan Sullivan Yeah, yeah, people are still going to be eating. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think yeah, yeah, well, i mean, there's definitely entertaining. Yeah, what do all people do, you know, around the planet? Well, not everybody shapes, you know. But right, yeah, so But, given the market that you're after is there, you know, we know. I do know alcohol is gonna play a big part of it. Now, they're direct, you know They may buddy, one of the signs that an ancient Gathering of humans was actually human is pottery. Dean Jackson So they'll find shards, pottery shards and when they examine the shards. Dan Sullivan You know what they always find on the shards alcohol, alcohol, great, exactly. Dean Jackson Yeah, that's so funny. Yeah, why did humans Create pottery? Dan Sullivan well, yeah, you know, to have something they could make the alcohol and save the alcohol. They're their mushroom bruise, right Yeah. Dean Jackson Yeah, i mean, they just do this to have pottery they did it right they can. Dan Sullivan They could make drinking alcohol a little bit more predictable. All righty, okay, dan. Well, i will. I'll be here in two weeks, yeah, and we'll be back, yeah, in two weeks. Dean Jackson So we're going to see Jeff. Maddowff's play The end of men, the end of next week. Dan Sullivan So it opened with its first pre-order. So it's a pre-order. So it's a pre-order The end of men, the end of next week. So it opened with its first proof preview Last night. Dean Jackson So they have a week of previews. Dan Sullivan They have a week of previews where they're just, you know, making scene shifts and making adjustments to the script and you know, and everything else, and they have about five or six of these and People, they have audiences for them. The other thing is that audiences can come in and see everything else, and then they, then they have two last ones Where they're locked down Okay, so that all the changes have been made, and then the last two of the previews is It's locked down. Now, this is the play, and then they have opening night, which is the 14th, and we're going down the 16th. Dean Jackson Oh, very nice, that's so great. Yeah, all right. okay, i will talk to you soon. You.

Tonight, we'll read excerpts from “Meteorology, The Science of the Atmosphere” by meteorologist Charles Fitzhugh Talman, published in 1922. This episode first aired in April of 2021. The word meteorology, stemming from the Ancient Greek, means "the study of things high in the air." Though study of meteorology dates back millennia, significant progress did not occur until the 18th century. Prior attempts at prediction of weather depended on historical data. It was not until after the elucidation of the laws of physics and more particularly, the development of the computer, allowing for the automated solution of a great many equations that model the weather, in the latter half of the 20th century that significant breakthroughs in weather forecasting were achieved. — read by N — Support us: Listen ad-free on Patreon Get Snoozecast merch like cozy sweatshirts and accessories Learn more about your ad choices.

After the Civil War fine hotels were built all along the mountain range that separated North Carolina and Tennessee, each one grander than the last, a sort of Guilded Age race between the wealthy hotel operators flooding into the region. There were many of these fine hotels, from the Wonderland Hotel to Unaka Springs to the Cloudland Hotel. That last hotel had one advantage the others didn't. It sat high atop Roan Mountain, making that hotel the higher than any other hotel in the region, with a most spectacular view.Today we tell the story of the Cloudland Hotel.You can subscribe to the Stories podcast at Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, Audible, Spotify, Goodpods, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts...we will be there.Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, y'all!

There are so many good things that come out of the FFA, they are hard to count and definitely too numerous to list in one podcast post.  So, in today's post I will focus on the SAE grants that are available to students.  I judged applications for these grants for a number of years, and I can tell you that there is a lot of talent out there.  I can also tell you that there are a lot of students not attempting to receive this free money.  This is precisely why I admire the students that do pursue these grants so much.  It demonstrates that they and their FFA advisors are very forward thinking. Charleigh Dugger is one of these forward thinking students.  She is just finishing up her sophomore year of high school, but she has already applied for and received a $1,000 SAE grant provided by AmerisourceBergen.  Charleigh is using this money to expand her goat herd, built winter shelter for them and start a cattle herd of Scottish Highlander cows for herself.  She is hoping that this will propel her towards her dream of working with animals as a career.

Welcome to the Lace Up and Run Podcast. We believe in a fun and active lifestyle with a primary focus on running and hiking. There is a supply of bourbon in the podcast studio so there is pretty much a guarantee there might be some of Kentucky's finest consumed during the show.Love having Morgan Davis on the show. There is always so much running information to uncover, but not enough time to get to it all. Morgan talks about her experience at the No Business 100 in the Big South Fork Recreation Area. Despite the technical terrain and over 14,500 feet of gain, she finished 5th overall female. Morgan ran the Cloudland Canyon 50K two months after No Business. The race is held in Georgia and despite navigating 4,500 feet of gain, she accomplished a 8th overall female finish.Morgan and I went back a few years and talked about her experience at the Barkley Fall Classic at the famed Frozen Head State Park. Morgan will be tackling the very difficult Pinhoti 100 in November. "Only recommended for very experienced adventurers" is all that needs to be said.  What powers Morgan through these ultra races?  My guess is it must be the Fireball!Website: runtosucceedsports.comFacebook: @runtosucceedInstagram: @runtosucceed

Lars Danielsson is a stalwart of the Swedish jazz scene, capturing the very best of Nordic jazz and beyond in his compositions.

In this episode, we talk a bit about time from the perspective of a child. For children, time seems to work differently than for adults. Perhaps it is because it stretches out so far ahead of them or perhaps it is for another reason altogether, but children seem able to stop and enjoy moments without feeling the need to plan or rush about on a schedule.

We're back for another storytime with Sophie! This time, I explore the deeply true and profound themes found across all seven books of Harry Potter. We'll look at how Rowling deals with death, love, sacrifice, fate, and more...and ultimately, I think, we'll discover that Harry Potter resonates with our hearts because it reflects the truth of our own story...the story of our whole world. 10/10 an incredible series! Music is "Where We Meet" by CLOUDLAND.

In this episode, we talk about mystery. Mystery has been something we, as a culture, have shied away from since the Enlightenment. However, mystery in the world is unavoidable. We simply can't understand everything. We argue that it's worthwhile and good to embrace the mystery around us, and rest in our trust of the Lord, who stands above and outside of the mystery. Children seem often to have an easier time rejoicing in mystery and pursuing a joyous curiosity. We want to approach the world in the same way. Our goal at Tikvah is to find hope by exploring the Lord's heart for his people and his world.

In this episode, we talk about friendship! We ask why friendship exists and is a good thing, what true friendship looks like (especially through the eyes of a child), and how friendship is intricately tied to hope. Friendship isn't easy, but it's a beautiful and incredible gift that floods our life with value, purpose, challenge, joy, and hope!

In this episode, we talk about imagination. What is it? Why is it so important? How is it related to hope? If we struggle to imagine, how can we learn to imagine again? We know that children generally seem to have no lack of imagination, but adults often struggle to imagine. We, however, believe imagination is a crucial for a hopeful life.

In this episode, we talk about nature and hope. Nature is a beautiful and wondrous thing, and it points us back in joy and delight to the Creator. The flowers, plants, streams, and mountains all praise their Maker with their own joyous song, and that, we believe, gives us hope as well. Ultimately, looking at nature through the eyes of a child is to delight in it, get dirty in it, and embark on an adventure to explore it to its fullest.

In this first story-focused bonus episode, Sophie discusses "The Ickabog" by J. K. Rowling. "The Ickabog" is a deeply profound fairy tale that points to the power of false narratives (PR gone wrong!) and their far-reaching and devastating consequences. But, even as the story dives into the very depths of evil, it provides a hopeful answer in the end. Just like in the book of Proverbs, the wicked fall into the very traps that they set for others. A 10/10 good book recommendation. Music is "Where We Meet" by CLOUDLAND.

We talk about hope a lot here, especially when it comes to the hope we have in the resurrection. But, we wanted to pause and talk about what genuine hope looks like, not just for the future, but in the here and now. Living a life of hope means living a life of action. It doesn't mean we twiddle our thumbs just wishing for things to get better...it means we put our faith and trust in our King and do something. Our goal at Tikvah is to find hope by exploring the Lord's heart for his people and his world.

In this episode, we explore what it looks like to live a life of childlike wonder. We delve into what wonder is, how we cultivate it, and why it's so crucial for a hope-filled life. This world and everything in it (including our very lives) are gifts from God. When we live out of a mindset then of abundance and not scarcity, we can't help but wonder at all the mystery and beauty around us. How can we not wonder then at God himself? We believe that living a life of wonder is intricately tied with having hope in every moment. Our goal at Tikvah is to find hope by exploring the Lord's heart for his people and his world.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to be new. Our culture in general is obsessed with the new year, as if a new number on the calendar will change everything. We place our hope in fulfilling our new year's resolutions and end up trying to find our identity in how we can improve ourselves. But this effort is hopeless. New years don't magically change everything. New Year's resolution usually fall by the wayside in just a few short weeks. We can never make ourselves perfect. But God. Our hope rest in the fact that Jesus makes us new. Our identity is found in the truth that we are God's children, and that is enough. Our goal at Tikvah is to find hope by exploring the Lord's heart for his people and his world.

In this episode, we talk about remembering and forgetting. We often find ourselves discouraged or fearful, even though we're in the hands of the living God, the Creator of everything. Why then do we lose hope? We believe it is because we, like the Israelites before us, forget about God. We forget about who He is and what He has done. We want to find hope by reminding ourselves of God's nature and his many great and glorious deeds that have spanned from the beginning of it all to this very moment in each of our individual lives.

In this episode, we talk all about gratitude. What is the difference between it and thankfulness? Why ought we to have gratitude? Where does it come from? To whom ought we to be grateful? Why? And ultimately, how does this affect our lives? The Lord didn't have to create this world, but He did. He didn't have to make beautiful flowers or stunning mountains, but He did. He didn't have to make loving dogs or (for you cat people) cats. He didn't have to create us, but He did. He didn't have to save us, but He did. He didn't have to promise us a New Earth and a new life and a new body with him, but He did. Our hope is closely tied to our gratitude for everything (big and small) the Lord has done and continues to do for us on a daily basis and for all of eternity.

In this episode, we talk about the differences between disappointment and discouragement, namely, how disappointment is at times inevitable, but discouragement is always a choice. We discuss proper responses to disappointment and ways to avoid becoming discouraged and bitter. Above all, we can find hope in the fact that Jesus will never let us down for he is always better.

In this episode, we talk about the power of story to reach into our hearts and radically change us, for good or for evil. We talk about how they can encourage us and give us hope, or how they can leave us feeling empty and hopeless. All good stories in some way tell the truth about the world, but there are countless stories that convince us to believe a lie. We, as believers, want to fill ourselves with stories that tell the truth and fuel our hope. The character of Aslan in C. S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia" is one such example of this and has been a pivotal story in the life of Sophie.

In this episode, we talk about the promise of a future resurrection and new earth where we will live with God himself for all of eternity. While many Christians seem stuck in the idea of a bodiless eternity "in the clouds," the Bible talks about a physical reality with risen bodies, where we will see Jesus face to face. This is a hopeful promise! When we live out of a hopeful expectation of the fulfillment of these promises, it changes what we prioritize and how we act in the world here and now.

In this episode, we explore what it looks like to live with a kingdom mindset. As followers of Jesus, we have been called to seek first the Kingdom of God. Pursuing anything but the kingdom is at its core a hopeless endeavor, for nothing else is eternal. Thankfully, we can find hope in the promise that God welcomes us into a kingdom that can never be shaken.

In this episode, we talk about how the “love yourself” movement isn't actually loving at all. We can never love ourselves enough to be satisfied, but thankfully we can find hope in the fact that the God who knows both our good and our bad already loves us fully and deeply. We are commanded then, in light of his love, to love him and love others. Our goal at Tikvah is to find hope by exploring the Lord's heart for his people and his world.

In this episode, we talk about what empathy is, why it's important, and how we can practically implement it. Since Jesus is an empathetic God, we, as his people, are likewise called to love our neighbors by rejoicing with them when they rejoice and weeping with them when they weep.

In this episode, we talk about the classic children's story, "The Little Prince," written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. We explore how this simple story teaches us to look at the world like children, fill our hearts with wonder, utilize our imaginations, and pour ourselves out into beautiful relationships with the people we encounter. Since our God is a wonderful, imaginative, and relational God, we believe this story helps us to better understand his heart for all his creation.
