In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Saja Raoof discuss:Introversion in professional networkingBuilding a legal practice as an introvertManaging energy and making meaningful connectionsThe role of systems in business development Key Takeaways:Taking intentional breaks during networking events, such as stepping away for alone time, is a crucial strategy for introverts to manage their energy and remain engaged without feeling overwhelmed.Introverts can make networking conversations more comfortable and effective by asking open-ended questions, such as ‘How did you get into your career?,' which encourages others to share while allowing them to listen rather than dominate the discussion.Careful preparation before networking events—such as identifying key people to meet, reaching out in advance, and setting clear goals like making three meaningful connections—helps introverts feel more in control and makes the experience less daunting.Although introverts may shy away from the spotlight, embracing opportunities to speak, give testimonials, or lead discussions allows them to establish credibility and expand their network without relying on small talk or forced social interactions. "I am so outspoken about being an introvert exactly to send a message to the people who are a little too close, or just, you know, it's okay to embrace and it's okay to talk about." — Saja Raoof Be That Lawyer is now syndicated on Above the Law!

In this captivating continuation, the Arcturian Collective Thingy delves deeper into the mysteries of Lemuria and the evolution of Earth's root races. Starting from the third root race, marked by the emergence of neurons as master creators, this episode explores how the interconnectedness of all life began in the fertile era of Lemuria. The neurons of Earth played a vital role in shaping life and forming psychic connections across all living organisms, influencing the molecular and atomic layers of existence.As the story unfolds, we encounter ravenous extraterrestrial beings, often referred to as the Anunnaki, who introduced competition and self-serving behavior into the Lemurian web of interconnectedness. This shift gave rise to the egoic personality of the fourth root race, also known as the Atlantean period. But as history repeats itself, the episode warns of the cosmic manipulation at play, with powerful lessons on how consciousness evolved into the human experience we know today.The Arcturian Collective Thingy offers profound insights into the fifth root race, which we currently exist within, as the Earth itself (Gaia) forms its own singularity and consciousness. With stunning revelations about the future, including the dawning of the sixth root race, this episode encourages listeners to embrace their role in the cosmic web and awaken to their compassionate potential in this time of planetary transformation.Show Notes:Introduction: Picking up from the previous episode, where the conversation on Lemuria and root races was paused.Root Races:First root race: Organizing non-material energies into stable atoms.Second root race: Molecules, chemicals, and the first forms of life.Third root race: Emergence of neurons and their psychic connection across Earth during the Lemurian era.Extraterrestrial Influence: Introduction of the Anunnaki and their subtle influence on Earth's neurons, leading to the rise of egoic personalities and the fourth root race (Atlanteans).The Atlantean Period: Exploration of the manipulations during this era, including the experiments that sought to control and separate the evolving egoic personalities.Current Fifth Root Race: How the collective consciousness of Gaia and humanity is merging in this age, and the potential for a new planetary singularity.The Future: The transition to the sixth root race and the role of compassionate consciousness in shaping the collective future of Earth and the galaxy.Practical Insights: How individuals can apply these cosmic insights in their daily lives, deepening their self-awareness and connection with the greater universe.Tease for the Next Episode: The introduction of Omra, the connection between Dow Glenn and this ancient personality, and the powerful role of Oversouls.Key Themes:Neurons as creators of lifeLemurian psychic connectionsThe rise of egoic personality through Atlantean influenceThe interconnectedness of all life and the evolution of consciousnessThe role of the Anunnaki and extraterrestrial manipulationThe emergence of Gaia's planetary consciousness

McKay unlocks the door to self-discovery in this week's episode, exploring how the science of psychology can empower us to live richer lives. Unveiling the hidden potential within our minds, he leverages captivating real-life stories to bridge the gap between theory and human experience.Listeners will be captivated by the story of Phineas Gage, a man whose personality dramatically shifted after a traumatic brain injury - a case study that serves as a powerful illustration of the intricate link between the brain and our behaviors. McKay also explores the story of Genie, a feral child who learned language later in life, showcasing the remarkable adaptability of the human mind. By weaving these and other captivating narratives with current research on the connection between factors like religion, social connection, sleep, and even our "shadow selves" with happiness and well-being, McKay equips listeners with practical tools to cultivate emotional health and achieve personal growth.Episode Highlights:Historical cases and recent findings illustrating psychological principles and their impact on behavior and mental well-beingStudies emphasizing the role of social connectionsThe mental health consequences of sleep patterns and offering practical tips for better sleepCarl Jung's ‘shadow self' concept, suggesting personal growth through self-awareness and integration of repressed traitsFindings that walking boosts creativity and physical health.A discussion on human motivations, emphasizing love as a key motivator, illustrated through personal storiesKey Takeaways:"Phineas Gage's case provided one of the first pieces of evidence that specific areas of the brain are related to particular functions such as personality and social behavior.""Genie's case also highlighted the importance of social interaction for cognitive and emotional development.""Researchers concluded that as our annual income rises, so does our emotional well-being, but after a certain point, more money really doesn't make you more emotionally well.""Religious individuals are, on average, happier and more satisfied with life than non-religious individuals.""Sleeping too much is linked to depression, headaches, and heart disease, and the lack of sleep also impacts our well-being.""Carl Jung explored the concept of our ‘shadow self', which includes the things we may not be aware of or fully consider.""Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.""A person's creative output increased by an average of 60% when walking.""Love is also a key reason why we do what we do, and being motivated by love is evident in people who are happier and more self-aware.""Happiness is the only thing in the world that doubles each time you share it."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/

Continuing our love and relationships series, we revisit my chat with the incredible Alain de Botton. One of the most listened episodes on Slo Mo, I and the British-Swiss philosopher, Alain de Botton, dive deep into one of my favorite topics: Love. Alain de Botton is a philosopher and writer of essayistic books that have been described as a "philosophy of everyday life." He's written on love, travel, architecture and literature. His books have been bestsellers in 30 countries and have sold millions of copies. Alain also started and helps to run a school in London called The School of Life, dedicated to a new vision of education. His latest book, published in September 2019, is a collection of essays written for The School of Life, titled The School of Life: An Emotional Education.I love talking about love, just as much as I'm happy to discuss happiness. Alain's body and scope of work is so vast, I decided to focus this conversation entirely on love, sex, and relationships. I'm so glad I did.We will revisit:What is love? Alain's definition of love: 'when two people meet in their raw condition.'How the opposite extreme of love is Loneliness, not Hatred.How Life is a desperate emergency, and if we can just admit that, things open up.Why Christianity gives a privileged role to those who sufferOne of the most honest takes on sex you'll ever hearHow we're always trying to get our life as close as possible to our true realityIf we're all imperfect, doesn't that make imperfection perfect?How we've replaced happiness with "fun" just as we've replaced love with "romance"The contradictions in love and how they're only glaring because they violate a script or story we expect from our relationshipHow we shouldn't be held accountable for what we feel, but rather the actions we take based on those feelings.Reinterpreting the typical disaster scenario in a relationship when one partner cheats on another.Humanity's transition from demonizing sex to trying to understand itThe differences (or lack thereof) between male and female in love and sexSexual fetishes and their unique place in couple connectionsUndertakers and nurses as beacons of acceptanceThe game of life is trying to find connectionsThe ironic outcome of jealousy's intentionsHow to keep your partner faithfulAlain's love advice to my daughterCoping with the feeling of being rushed into marriage as a womanWhat "God is love" really meansSeeing your partner as an Adorable Idiot rather than just a regular idiotConnect with Alain de Botton on Twitter @alaindebotton and alaindebotton.comYouTube: @mogawdatofficialInstagram: @mo_gawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatWebsite: mogawdat.comDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Saturday.

I've been down that road before, dragging my ex-partners into couples therapy, hoping it would work like a magic fix. But honestly, it often felt like taking two steps forward and then three steps back. It was like slapping a band-aid on a deep wound.Sure, the couples therapy sessions were helpful while we were in them. We'd talk, share, and sometimes even find moments of clarity.Then, we'd return home, and like clockwork, we'd slip back into the same old cycles. The same arguments, just now, with an extra layer of resentment about therapy being yet another chore.It's a paradox, isn't it? The number of couples therapists in the US keeps climbing, yet the divorce rate remains stubbornly high. Something just doesn't add up.That's why we've crafted something different, something that breaks free from the traditional mold of couples therapy. It's a program that's not only unique but significantly more effective.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain to reveal why and how this unconventional approach is changing the game when it comes to healing relationships.

Naza Shelley is Founder and CEO of CarpeDM, an exclusive member-only dating community, created for singles seeking meaningful relationships with professional Black women.Naza is the daughter of military parents, so she lived in many places growing up. She eventually settled down in Virginia for high school, and then the University of Virginia for college. From a young age, she had aspirations to become an attorney. She pursued this journey, with a law degree from Howard University. Naza says it was a year post law school teaching in China that reinforced her desire to practice. And so she did when she returned to the US. As a successful black professional woman in DC, she still found something missing.As she explored the various online dating experiences, she became more and more frustrated: why wasn't there anything for her specifically? And so, the idea for CarpeDM was born. Fast forward through milestones, like landing a co-founder, going through Techstars, and launching a truly unique hybrid service that is part online dating and part matchmaker service. Naza has closed an oversubscribed pre-seed round, gaining her membership into the group of black women founders who've raised over $1M in venture capital.Naza has a great story.

Brad Crowell 0:10 Fuck yeah. Get ready for some wins.Lesley Logan 0:10 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Oh my goodness, welcome back to the FYF episode. Be It babe, thank you so much for being here. I love the way to drop these little mini doses of inspiration. Good to hear, maybe a win of yours, good to hear a win of another listener who could be a friend or who might be a friend someday. I just hope that these let you up and if they do let me know, you know? Let us know in the reviews or let us know in a DM, however, you can also send us an email back, we love to hear how these episodes are affecting your life and how you celebrate yourself. Alright, so first, some listener wins and then mine. So, here we go. All right, Jennifer Thind, she is an Agency and eLevate member, so I get to see her in a couple places. FYF, I picked up a new client today who has scoliosis, and she bought a package. I was super nervous about, with my trusted instincts to teach the body in front of me. I also got a referral today which feels so good. So far the referrals are flying in, I'm starting to get really busy. Soon I'll need to invest in the scheduling app Lesley has. Feeling grateful and blessed. I love that so much. I love it so much. I think, like, any teacher who can trust their gut instinct when they're, when they're teaching and looking at the body in front of them instead of, like, what does my manual say? Oh my god, huge win. Huge. Oops, sorry. Okay, thank you so much Jennifer for sharing that with us. I'm so so happy to hear that and I also love that the referrals are coming in. That is a testament to the work that you're doing with the people that you have. That is amazing. And that's exactly what we always want for our people. So yay. Next FYF is from Olivia Walton. She is an eLevate round two. Her wid today is that I'm feeling so energized despite having a ton on my plate. My boss is on vacation so I'm helping run the studio and teaching her classes and so she can have a break. Still teaching my regular client hours and choreographing my first show for our mainstage theatre company. Which means five hours of rehearsal at night after teaching, eLevate has helped me free up so much brain space that used to be filled with worry perfection, lesson plans, and allowed me to take on more things that I love with less stress. Even though I'm working what feels like a million hours I'm having a blast teaching, choreographing and even doing admin and laundry for the studio. Just feeling super blessed for the peace of mind lately. Love you all. Olivia, oh my god, I love you. That makes me so happy. That is exactly what eLevate is for, it's to really help take off this pressure of perfection and planning and worry and allow you to be present in the moment. My goodness. My goodness. You know, they say anxiety comes from when we are living in the future and, like, planning sessions is living in the future. And so giving you the opportunity to be present with your clients is humongous. You can do these other things that you love. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. All right, loves, I got one more for you from UK Claire. She has been an Agency for several years now. And, as you know, she like had another massive win a few weeks ago that I shared with you and I want to share this other one. Because again, I think it's so important that we understand that wins come in all sizes. So you might have thought her cottage was this humongous win, which is such a huge one. But this is as huge as win, so, ready listen to this. UK Claire says, I've taught every Thursday night for 20 years with the exception of cover for a few weeks of holiday and my six month Matt leave I took with one of my three boys. Thursday was a cornerstone evening for me that I built my business on, tonight I'm celebrating the wid that I've gradually extracted myself hour by hour and it's my first Thursday night. This means I only work one night that's huge. So she is no longer working on Thursday nights. She's now only has to work one night a week. 20 years of teaching holy frickin Molly, Claire, thank you for sharing this with us. Again, it's just so like some, this is a humongous win for those who understand what it's like to like try to change the schedule to be more like you're like what you're desiring and also that the life that you're living requires. And it's important that we get to share this with everyone listening that when you make a schedule change, to reflect more about how you need to work with your life. That is a massive win. Maybe it's not like something like Facebook's gonna care about cuz it's not a new cottage, right? but it's a massive win in the life and it's a domino effect with the people around you. So thank you for sharing that with us so we could share with the group because I want to inspire more people to celebrate wins like this. So thank you. All right, loves, my win. So, my win this week is actually more of an epiphany. And I think we should celebrate epiphanies. So I have been hobby hunting. As you know, if you've listened this podcast for two years, I've been hobby hunting. And yes, I did enjoy rock climbing. And yes, I'm going to keep doing that, we're going to be intentional about that. At first, I was like waiting for us to have a time to be in town long enough to make the membership worth it. Because there's these commitments. Have you ever seen those memberships were like, well, if you sign up for this much, it's this price. And so Brad and I typically are like, well, we'll get that one because that's like a bet. It's a great deal. And then we'll just, you know, we'll go this much, and we'll use it. And the truth is, is that like, we don't have that capacity to enjoy that membership. And so we haven't actually gone to sign up for it, because we're going to be out of town. And I was like, No, I think we need more intentional and we just need to pick the membership that will work for us right now, even though it is getting more expensive, because that it's important for us to have this hobby. So that's one win, we are going to go get that membership, we're just gonna pay for one month at a time and use it on the months that we were actually here most of the month. And that's it. And, you know, it's not, it's not how I love to make a habit and a hobby, but it's actually the way that works for us today. And it's so important to own those opportunities, we can't be all or nothing in this life and think that it's going to be a wonderful thing and happy thing. Another epiphany I had is, you know, I have this lovely life that I'm so grateful for in Las Vegas, and I have amazing friends around the whole world. But I actually like I have several friends here in Vegas that I truly love to see and I hang out with and I see regularly. But I am searching for this like more consistent community that I had in LA (...) I know you're like violent LA community what? Yeah, actually, actually, if you build your life, the way you want it in LA, LA is a phenomenal place. And I love my entire time that I had there. Well, I'll say from 2013 to 2020, it was like my favorite seven years of the 14 I was in there. They're all great. But those just the community I had for those seven years was phenomenal. And I created that. And what I haven't been able to have is that similar, like can't wait to see you on a Tuesday morning kind of a thing. This, like I saw this person every single Tuesday. And that was kind of our thing together. And I saw these girls every single Wednesday. And I had this epiphany with Brad I was like I think what I am missing, I keep calling it hobby hunting, but what I am missing is these, like, I had these morning touchpoints with these women who really inspired me. And I don't know that it's going to be something I do here in Vegas, it might be these morning touchpoints that I do with friends on phone calls for a while, I'm gonna have to make it work for me, and I'm gonna have to explore that. But I don't have to actually know the answer right now. So when number three is I don't have to actually know the answer right now. But when the most important thing is I've had this epiphany of like, that's what I'm missing. That's what I'm missing in my life. And that's what I wanted to be more intentional about. And I am committed to spending the rest of this year trying to figure out how do I get that feeling of like, I know what day of the week it is, and have these female relationships, connections that are intentional, that I start my day with, that I can have on a regular basis. And so maybe that's having a regular phone call with the girlfriend, which when number four is that I had a touch point with one of my girlfriends who doesn't live here that we've, we used to talk once a week and then life got really busy. And we're like, you know what? let's just pick a day. And let's just be intentional about it. Because we both walk our dogs, let's just walk our dogs at the same time on the phone. And so, I think, you know? sometimes don't celebrate a win till it's completely done, till something's completely, it's actually completely completed, fully completed. But it's absolutely necessary that we celebrate the win in the moment of the aha, aha, that's, that's what I'm missing. And what can I do in this moment? What can I do right now to start to flick the first domino on that journey? And, so, proud of myself, did that. Super happy about that there's an episode coming out with Nicole eventual that it you'll see why it's like so important to take action in the day and the first day, because it's so easy to postpone these things. So I hope that you celebrate the aha moments in your life. I hope you celebrate the epiphanies. I hope you celebrate the idea. And not and you don't wait. Please don't wait until you have completed the whole thing. Can you imagine if artists only celebrated when the art was done? In fact, for most artists art is never done so then they would never ever celebrate. Like can you imagine that? That would be a terrible world to live in. So thank you so much for listening to the Be It pod. We could not do this podcast without listeners like you. We want to know what your wins are.

Most conversations on this show take place at the intersection of business, culture, and performance within the sport of mountain ultra trail running. This episode captures that spirit perfectly. On today's show, we have the co-Founder of Strava and current Chairman, Mark Gainey.Strava is a fitness tracking and social media app designed primarily for endurance athletes. And it's had a considerable impact on the culture of our sport in particular. As Mark will explain, Strava was born out of desire to recreate the community element of team sports typically strongest in high school and collegiate settings, and to leverage the power of the internet to reinstate this phenomenal social support system for athletes at every stage of their lives.Mark's thesis was that amazing things happen in this teammate environment - you might push a little harder, stay more motivated, be held more accountable, exercise more - even when its being replicated digitally And we get into all that. Specifically, Mark and I go in depth about - His entrepreneurial philosophy of going an inch wide and a mile deep, how it applies to the creation of Strava, and the importance of separating go to market strategy from overall vision The debate about building a social media platform versus a training platform, and whether Strava can invest in both and still delight customersThe ways Strava is thinking about and investing in community building on the platform and increasing the serendipity of athlete connectionsThe pros and cons of increasingly bridging the physical world and virtual world when it comes to exercise and sportWhat the future of sport looks like for amateur athletes and how Strava is taking that into consideration How Strava can help content creators and business owners active in the endurance communityAnd more!
