Episode 42 of OnlyLands brings together a rotating menagerie of Badlands Media hosts for another unpredictable, unscripted night of humor, commentary, and community-driven chaos. The episode leans into spontaneous banter, running jokes, and off-the-cuff reactions as the group bounces between current events, personal anecdotes, and the absurdities of online culture. Conversations drift freely, shaped more by chemistry and timing than structure, creating moments that range from sharp commentary to pure comedic derailment. Throughout the episode, the hosts riff on shared experiences, poke fun at themselves and each other, and embrace the loose, anything-goes atmosphere that defines OnlyLands. Episode 42 captures the spirit of the show at its core: unfiltered, irreverent, and powered by interaction, where entertainment comes first and the only real plan is to see where the conversation goes next.

What if your 11% success rate means you're absolutely crushing it? In this episode, Paul Kirchoff shares how he helps small growth businesses and their leaders accelerate success through EPX Global, a breakthrough AI-centric acceleration platform and ecosystem. As an avid entrepreneur, investor, and global adventurer, Paul is the founder and CEO of EPX Global, where members around the world drive faster business success, max out amazing experiences, and push individual performance to new levels. Paul is also the Founder and CEO of DominoOne, an impact accelerator and crowdsourced problem-solving platform. Paul built two marketing software/agency companies and multi-billion dollar business units at Dell Computer Corporation as an early employee. He's a member of the 113-year-old Explorers Club, DJs electronic music, wrote a corporate thriller novel (giving proceeds to cancer research), and made a film about racism. Paul is developing frontier-level expertise in operationalizing artificial intelligence across the enterprise in every department. Paul reveals two relationships that transformed him in ways nobody has ever answered this question before: a Mongolian eagle hunter he met in the far eastern corner of Mongolia, an older gentleman who had zero knowledge of America, spoke no English, and lived in a yurt with horses and golden eagles as pets, teaching Paul about authentic human connection beyond labels and systems, which became the core culture he built into his technology platform where single moms are valued equally with astronauts; and a police officer who arrested him at 32 after a casual happy hour (though Paul was sober), leading to community service at a center for the deaf and blind where he spent weeks rewinding VHS tapes while listening to thought leaders teach cutting-edge SEO and digital marketing, which gave him the advanced knowledge to start his marketing agency that became successful and sold 13 years later, ultimately leading to his trip to Mongolia and the realization he needed to build EPX Global.   [00:04:00] What Paul Does at EPX Global Tech veteran CEO with many startups, sold companies, shut down companies Early employee at Dell Computer Corporation before anyone in Austin knew who Michael Dell was Built EPX Global as AI-centric ecosystem for small growth businesses and their leaders Heavy artificial intelligence expertise helping companies accelerate success, health, and experiences [00:05:00] Making Everything Go Faster Helps accelerate time to best performance unique to genetics on health side Helps companies accelerate success with AI, connections, and knowledge Makes sure people don't forget to dance under the Milky Way because life is short [00:06:00] Living in Service of Others Used to be financial goals and status symbols when younger, none of that matters now Addicted to a blank sheet of paper, gifted to solve or invent anything Respect for fellow humans (all a unit of one on their own unique journey) Living in service of others by replicating himself with technology [00:07:00] Building a Top Marketing Agency Built and sold one of top demand generation agencies in world Controlled front page of Google, Facebook called asking how they converted traffic Always on cutting edge of deploying technology in marketing (technical + psychology) [00:08:20] AI Systems for Every Business Size Wanted to build AI systems for small businesses (missing factor for 10x resources) Also doing business transformation consulting for billion-dollar companies Helping bigger companies go from where they are to AI-first operations [00:09:20] The 60% Revenue Increase Every Month Networking ecosystem connects people to solutions for health, happiness, business, capital People battling depression got connected to biohacking guys, transformed their lives One client company 60-70% higher revenue every single month with zero change to headcount [00:11:00] Being the X Factor AI systems deployed handle support, become AI salesperson, become AI marketing team Small businesses can grow beyond traditional chains with 10x resources All about being X factor in people's lives or facilitating X factor with someone else [00:14:00] The 11% Success Rate Discovery Expert guest on platform said his success rate is 14% (very successful guy) Paul did the math on his own attempts, came out to 11% success rate Entrepreneurs put enormous pressure on themselves, need different perspective [00:16:00] Trust in an AI World Real meaningful relationships becoming more and more valuable with AI Building networking assistant governed by user (uses your reasoning to find value) Human connection and that magnetic field around our hearts makes us who we are [00:19:40] When Social Media Became Entertainment Facebook, Instagram, TikTok devolved into micro entertainment channels (not networking) Feeds filled with ads and sponsored posts, no actual networking EPX Global has no ads, every connection based on merit of what you want [00:20:20] Photorealistic Fake Content AI video (Sora, Veo) can create photorealistic content that's completely fake Consumer backlash coming for authenticity in connections Business will embrace AI efficiency (hyper-efficient usually wins) [00:23:00] Two People, No Names Never anyone Paul looks up to or admires or wants to be like who affected his life Been blessed to meet incredible people (Pope, Richard Branson's Island, etc.) Two people come to mind that transformed everything Both people Paul has no idea where they are or their names [00:24:20] Far Eastern Mongolia Was entrepreneur working 14 hours a day for decade plus, one-trick pony success Knew needed to desperately change something, chose adventure Took group to far eastern corner of Mongolia to ride horses with eagle hunters Met older gentleman in yurt who had zero knowledge of America or United States [00:25:40] The Man with Golden Eagles Man spoke zero English, wore fox neck tie, had pet golden eagles (40 pounds) Paul realized this is furthest from his life as tech guy (opposite side of life) Both excited to meet each other as new friends with zero in common [00:27:00] Single Moms and Astronauts Brought that spiritualness and core value into network he built Despite super achievers (swimming oceans, skiing Everest, gold medals), none of that matters Single mom raising five good kids might be more impressive than astronaut [00:27:40] The Saturday Night Traffic Stop At 32, coming out of casual happy hour, got pulled over Told officer honestly: "I had two drinks over last hour, I'm clearly fine" Officer said he seemed like nice guy but made him do sobriety test Got arrested and taken downtown (was actually sober, officer kept saying he was nicest person) [00:28:40] Community Service for the Deaf and Blind Offered to do community service to get charge expunged Chose center for deaf and blind, job was rewinding VHS tapes in warehouse Asked supervisor if he could listen to music, supervisor said yes [00:29:20] SEO Lessons in His Ears Instead of music, put in thought leaders teaching SEO and digital marketing For weeks on end, hours a day, learning cutting-edge techniques from pioneers After that, was so advanced in knowledge that led to starting agency Agency became successful and powerful, sold it 13 years later [00:30:00] The Chain of Events If officer hadn't arrested him, wouldn't have had that learning experience Wouldn't have had confidence to start agency that got him burnt out Wouldn't have gone to Mongolia and realized need to build network [00:31:00] In the Canyon Before the Summit At the time was devastated, seemed horrible (younger without perspective) Now incredibly grateful it happened When in the canyon, you're about to go to the summit [00:32:20] When Identity Gets Wrapped Up Greatest risk to mental health is when identity tied to something other than happiness If identity wrapped up in labels (AI whisperer, top guy), devastated when things go wrong Separate identity from accomplishments to stomach any ups and downs [00:38:00] The Leader in the Back AI exercise: meditate on what you look like as future leader Paul's image: crowd moving down valley, Paul in the back (slightly bigger) Leader in back can move crowds (not showing off Maserati or boat) [00:39:00] A Multitude of Miracles However someone gets through life (good/bad parents, heartbreak, etc.) shapes them Everyone made it to this one moment in time (mathematically massive miracle) When you respect everyone like that, you operate without ability to judge or be judged [00:39:40] Operating Without Fear When you don't judge or feel judged, you operate without expectations Without expectations means without fear of future negative ramifications Can be yourself, be present, love everybody, still compete   KEY QUOTES "I did the math and my success rate is like 11%. And I feel like I'm fairly successful, right? I've learned to not really give a shit about what your definition of success is." - Paul Kirchoff "There's zero in common, zero knowledge about each other. And it was one of the most remarkable moments because it shows you this level of connection that's possible when you drop labels and systems and passports and everything else." - Paul Kirchoff "If that guy wouldn't have arrested me, I wouldn't have started an agency, wouldn't have gotten burnt out, wouldn't have gone to Mongolia, and wouldn't be on this call today." - Paul Kirchoff CONNECT WITH PAUL KIRCHOFF

This week on Sinica, I speak with Afra Wang, a writer working between London and the Bay Area, currently a fellow with Gov.AI. We're talking today about her recent WIRED piece on what might be China's most influential science fiction project you've never heard of: The Morning Star of Lingao (Língáo Qǐmíng 临高启明), a sprawling, crowdsourced novel about time travelers who bootstrap an industrial revolution in Ming Dynasty Hainan. More than a thought experiment in alternate history, it's the ur-text of China's "Industrial Party" (gōngyè dǎng 工业党) — the loose intellectual movement that sees engineering capability as the true source of national power. We discuss what the novel reveals about how China thinks about failure, modernity, and salvation, and why, just as Americans are waking up to China's industrial might, the worldview that helped produce it may already be losing its grip.5:27 – Being a cultural in-betweener: code-switching across moral and epistemic registers 10:25 – Double consciousness and converging aesthetic standards 12:05 – "The greatest Chinese science fiction" — an ironic title for a poorly written cult classic 14:18 – Bridging STEM and humanities: the KPI-coded language of tech optimization 16:08 – China's post-Industrial Party moment: from "try hard" to "lie flat" 17:01 – How widely known is Lingao?

An Associate Professor and Extension Specialist in Nutrient and Water Management, Dr. Pease shares insights into her research on drainage, nutrient management, and soil health in northwestern Minnesota.  Tracing her roots in the western Lake Erie basin in Ohio to her current work in the Red River Valley, Dr. Pease reflects on the similarities and differences between these two flat glacial landscapes. She shares her experience of getting “deeper and deeper into drainage” and how this interest brought her to her position in Crookston, MN.Since 2019, Dr. Pease has conducted a 60-acre field experiment, studying crop outcomes in alternating drained and undrained sections. Through extreme weather conditions, she's gathered valuable information about how tile drainage impacts water quality and crop performance. She shares the outcomes of this research and talks about what she's learned about tile drainage and its impacts on the health of soil, water, and different types of crops.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction00:48 - From one glacial lake bed to another02:14 - Focus on drainage and soil health03:39 - Unique challenges in northwestern Minnesota05:31 - Crop rotation and nutrient cycling08:33 - A 60-acre field experiment10:53 - Drainage and extreme weather patterns12:16 - Wet seasons and nitrogen loss13:37 - Testing in drought conditions16:00 - Sugar beet drainage comparisons19:36 - Phosphorus runoff and water quality22:34 - Conservation practices for runoff control26:06 - Controlled drainage and lift stations30:40 - Future research directions33:18 - Upcoming learning opportunities36:03 - Closing thoughtsRelated Content:The Water Table Episode #69: A City Kid's Impact on Water Management Education with Dr. Lindsay PeaseFind us on social media!Facebook Twitter InstagramListen on these podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube MusicYouTubeVisit our website to explore more episodes & water management education.

True Crime Today brings you exclusive analysis of the relationship at the heart of the Brendan Banfield murder trial. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — former head of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program and author of books on trust and manipulation — examines who was really in control between Brendan and Juliana Peres Magalhaes.The prosecution says Brendan manipulated a young au pair into participating in double murder. They claim he expressed his desire to "be rid of" his wife, told Juliana it was "too late to back out," and handed her a gun the morning of the killings. But Juliana isn't a passive victim in this story. She allegedly helped plan and execute the murders, then spent a year telling police the same story Brendan did — before flipping to get a plea deal that sends her home to Brazil.From jail, Juliana wrote to her mother that she was "heartbroken for doing this to Brendan" and that she loved him. But she wanted to come home.Dreeke analyzes what that letter reveals about her psychology and her relationship with Brendan. He examines the behavioral markers that separate someone who was genuinely coerced from someone who willingly participated. He explains what causes someone to maintain a lie for a year and what causes them to flip.The affair started six months before the killings. Juliana was living in the home, caring for Christine's daughter. Dreeke breaks down what that arrangement reveals about power dynamics — and what it takes for two people to form the kind of criminal partnership prosecutors allege.#BrendanBanfield #JulianaPeresMagalhaes #TrueCrimeToday #RobinDreeke #FBI #Trust #Manipulation #AuPairMurder #StarWitness #PsychologyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, Coach Alex sits down with his wife Christin—dietitian, working mom of two, and the often-unseen force behind their family's rhythm—to talk honestly about parenting, nutrition, sleep, training, and discipline.This isn't a lecture or a perfect blueprint. It's a grounded conversation about how faith and fitness shape daily decisions at home: how they think about kids' behavior, picky eating, sleep routines, garage-gym logistics, and why structure doesn't have to mean deprivation.If you're trying to lead your family well without chaos, burnout, or food battles, this conversation will meet you right where you are.Main Discussion Themes-Why we treat kids' behavior as a nutrition, sleep, or movement signal before an attitude issue-How education (not perfection) shapes family nutrition habits-Raising kids who aren't jealous of junk food—and understand why Sleep as a non-negotiable foundation for growth and regulation-Navigating picky eating without surrendering parental leadership-How we structure choice (“A or B”) instead of outsourcing decisions to kids-Making fitness work in a busy household with a shared garage gym-Why faithful fitness isn't rigid—and how balance actually works (85/15, 80/20)-Enjoying food as a gift from God, not a guilt triggerTimestamped Outline0:00–0:40 — Hook: Why we don't treat kids' behavior as an attitude problem0:40–1:15 — Intro: “Meet my secret weapon”1:15–3:30 — Early podcast days, closet recordings, and unseen support3:30–6:00 — Education, stewardship, and undoing inherited food habits6:00–9:30 — Teaching kids to understand food (not fear it)9:30–11:30 — Sleep discipline and why it changed everything11:30–14:30 — Picky eating, parental authority, and explaining “why”14:30–16:30 — Controlled choice vs. chaos at the table16:30–19:30 — Garage gym reality: scheduling, flexibility, and urgency19:30–22:30 — The Shred, fasting, and training differences for men and women22:30–24:30 — The myth of the “rigid” fitness household24:30–26:30 — Food as pleasure, celebration, and connection (Ecclesiastes)26:30–28:00 — Invitation: family nutrition Q&A + prayer28:00–29:30 — Closing + community invitationMove Forward Today-Coach Alex's Devotional, “Faithful Fitness” - https://faithfulfitnessdevo.com-Comment on YouTube: What's the hardest part of feeding or leading your family well right now? -Share this episode with a parent who's overwhelmed by food battles or schedules.-Join the Faithful Fitness community to continue the conversation, receive support, and submit questions for a follow-up family Q&A - https://betterdaily.live/inviteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-by-better-daily--5150768/support.

The core isn't a muscle.It's a function.Day 14 focuses on core stability — the ability to control the trunk so force can be transferred efficiently between the upper and lower body.True core stability isn't about endless sit-ups or bracing as hard as possible. It's about maintaining position while the limbs move, resisting unwanted motion, and creating the right amount of tension at the right time.In this session, you'll develop:Trunk control in static and dynamic positionsThe ability to resist extension, rotation, and lateral flexionEfficient breathing under loadIntegration of the core with hips and shouldersCore stability underpins everything — lifting, running, jumping, striking, and carrying. When it's missing, strength leaks, posture collapses, and compensations appear elsewhere in the body.This day also reinforces the idea that stability is context-specific. The core's job changes depending on the task, and training should reflect that. You'll work through patterns that challenge control without unnecessary fatigue.Strong doesn't mean rigid.Stable doesn't mean stiff.Controlled movement creates power.Day 14 solidifies the centre of the system.Shaun Kober is a Mindset & Performance Specialist, with a unique skillset forged in the trenches, through the various stages of life."I shouldn't be in the position I am right now."

Why Sales Professionals Fail at New Year’s Fitness Goals (And How to Actually Succeed)

Sales Gravy: Jeb Blount

Are your fitness goals realistic for the life of a busy sales professional? "I find that a lot of sales leaders I work with are operating at about 110% capacity. So when we're talking about tackling health and fitness, we have to really understand what is going to be the few habits that are really easy to do and have the biggest bang for buck." That's Josh Hulsebosch, a fitness coach who specializes in working with sales professionals, speaking on the Sales Gravy podcast. His observation cuts straight to the real reason most January fitness resolutions fail: they're trying to add more to an already overflowing plate. The typical sales professional is already drowning in competing priorities while operating at maximum capacity. When New Year's hits, the instinct is to overhaul everything at once. New diet. New workout plan. New morning routine. That approach might work for people with open calendars and low pressure. For salespeople pushing through Q1 kickoffs, territory planning, and quota pressure, it is a fast track to burnout. The All-or-Nothing Trap Meet Steve. He's an individual contributor who decided January 1st would mark his transformation. No more coffee. Five-mile runs every morning. Intermittent fasting. Four hours of cold calling daily because he just finished reading Fanatical Prospecting. Ten days in, Steve slept through his alarm, missed his workout, and ordered a triple-shot latte on the way to work. That emotional crash bled into his work. His prospecting activity dropped. His confidence dipped. His motivation evaporated under the weight of his own perfectionism. Steve's mistake wasn't lack of commitment. He turned ambitious goals into self-sabotage by refusing to acknowledge a simple truth: sustainable change requires starting where you are, not where you wish you were. Most sales professionals approach fitness goals like they approach pipeline building—more activity equals better results. But health doesn't work like prospecting. You can't brute force your way into better sleep or lower stress. The body requires a different strategy. The 110% Capacity Problem Sales is a cognitively demanding profession. You're the quarterback of the business. Every day requires strategic thinking, relationship management, objection handling, and staying mentally sharp through rejection. When you're already operating at 110% capacity, adding extreme fitness commitments creates another obligation you can't meet, another source of stress, another thing to feel guilty about when you inevitably miss a workout or eat fast food between calls. The sales professionals who successfully improve their health identify which habits will support their performance, then build them into their existing routine. They do not chase trends. They focus on fundamentals. The Four Pillars of Health for Sales Professionals Fitness and health goals for sales professionals need to be realistic for people working at maximum capacity. You can't afford to waste energy on complicated protocols or fitness fads. You need the fundamentals: exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress management. When these four pillars are strong, everything else becomes easier. Pillar One: Exercise The fitness industry wants you to believe you need intense workouts, complicated programs, and hours at the gym. For sales professionals, the single most effective exercise habit is walking 8,000 steps daily. This number is achievable for most people regardless of fitness level. It builds momentum without requiring a complete schedule overhaul. When you consistently hit 8,000 steps, you prove to yourself that you can follow through on a commitment without sacrificing your work performance. Movement improves cognitive function, reduces stress hormones, and helps with sleep quality—all critical for sales performance. Make it automatic. Take calls while walking. Park farther away from the office. Walk to get coffee instead of ordering delivery. Use a standing desk and pace during internal meetings. Build movement into what you are already doing rather than treating it as another task. Once 8,000 steps become effortless, you can layer in strength training or other activities. But walking is the foundation. It's the one exercise habit that compounds without breaking you. Pillar Two: Nutrition Sales professionals tend to fall into two nutrition traps. The first is eating like garbage because they're too busy to care. The second is attempting some extreme diet overhaul that lasts nine days before they're back to their old patterns. The solution isn't meal plans or macro tracking or cutting entire food groups. It's having a system that works when you're slammed. Start here: don't skip meals. When you're running between meetings and surviving on coffee, your blood sugar crashes. That kills your cognitive performance and drives you toward quick fixes that leave you feeling worse an hour later. Keep protein-rich foods accessible. Greek yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, protein bars that aren't candy in disguise, rotisserie chicken, nuts. These don't require cooking or planning. They stabilize your energy and keep you sharp during long stretches between meals. Meal prep doesn't need to be complicated. Pick one day, cook a large batch of something simple—grilled chicken, ground turkey, rice, roasted vegetables—and portion it out. Now you have real food available when your schedule gets chaotic. Hydration matters more than most people realize. Dehydration mimics fatigue. Keep water at your desk. Drink it between calls. If you're consuming coffee all day, match it with water. You'll notice the difference in your afternoon energy levels. Pillar Three: Sleep Sleep deprivation destroys sales performance. You get paid to think. When you run on five or six hours of sleep, decision-making suffers. Decision-making suffers. Emotional regulation weakens. Your ability to read prospects and handle objections declines. You can't always control how many hours you sleep, especially during high-pressure periods. But you can improve sleep quality. Start with a simple nighttime routine that signals to your body it's time to wind down. Turn off screens thirty minutes before bed. Keep your bedroom cool. If your mind races when you lie down, acknowledge the thoughts without engaging with them. Notice they're there, then redirect your focus to your breathing. If you wake up in the middle of the night with work thoughts, write them down or set a reminder for the next day. This closes the mental loop and allows your brain to let go. Pillar Four: Stress Management Sales is a pressure environment. Constant decision-making. Emotional labor. Rejection. Urgency. You move from call to meeting to fire drill to another call with almost no downtime. Over time, your nervous system stays stuck in high alert. That chronic stress does not just affect your mood. It impacts your sleep, your focus, your patience with prospects, and your ability to think clearly in complex conversations. If you do not manage it, it will manage you. Controlled breathing is one of the fastest ways to regulate your nervous system. Inhale for four seconds. Hold for four. Exhale for four. Hold for four. This is box breathing. You can do it between calls. Before a tough conversation. While waiting for a prospect to answer. It does not draw attention. It just brings your system back into balance. When stress is regulated, sleep improves. When sleep improves, thinking becomes clearer. Clearer thinking leads to better sales performance. It is a small habit. The impact compounds. Building Fitness Goals That Actually Stick If you're surviving on five hours of sleep, start there. If you're skipping meals and running on caffeine, fix your nutrition first. If you haven't moved your body in weeks, commit to 8,000 steps. Don't try to overhaul all four pillars simultaneously. That's the all-or-nothing trap that killed Steve's momentum in ten days. When you take care of your physical and mental health, you show up sharper for your prospects, your team, and your numbers. Your body is the vehicle for your career. You can't hit quota consistently if you're running on empty. Start with one pillar. Build one habit. Give it time to take root before you add the next one. That's how you win in Q1 and beyond. If you are serious about building fitness habits that actually fit the realities of sales, go deeper with Josh Hulsebosch's performance-focused courses on Sales Gravy University. His programs are built specifically for sales professionals who are operating at full capacity and still want to win on health, energy, and longevity.

In this first podcast of the new year, Betsy discusses her strategy of scripting in journals to envision a hopeful and expansive future. She details how this practice helps condition the unconscious mind to focus on desired outcomes. Betsy reminds us to start the day with positive actions while minimizing distractions so we can plan for a successful day. Be sure to follow The Art of Living Big on YouTube as well as your favorite podcast app. Let’s go LIVE BIG in 2026! Transcript  Hello. Welcome to The Art of Living Big. All right, so I’ve tried this before in the past, but I am really making an effort 2026. I am not only audio recording this, but I’m video recording this too. So if you’re here and you’re on YouTube, hello. If you’re listening and you wanna see it live so you can see what I’m talking about, that’s great too. And you can just go to my YouTube channel. If you can find it on Instagram or on my website, or just search for me, Betsy PA on YouTube. All right, so let’s dive in here. You know, I have been thinking about so many things that I wanna share this year, and I’ve gotten a lot of questions on Instagram recently. And, you know, I did a podcast. Gosh, it was like fall, maybe October, September of last year where I talked about a couple years ago when I had a post go really viral. It got eight or 9 million views. And at the time, that’s how a lot of people found me, which was great. And what I was saying in that video was that I really decided that I wanted to go deeper. I wanted to change how I was doing those videos, and I really wanted to talk. I wanted to. Talk and share . And so that’s what I started doing. But what I didn’t expect was that it would, it would resonate with so many people in a, in a way bigger way than it had the first time. And that actually using my voice on those videos changed a lot of things for me. I mean, it’s opened up a lot of opportunities. But it’s also given me a different sense of confidence, which I find really interesting because I’ve had the podcast for years, but I have had the podcast behind the veil of video. You didn’t have to see me. And you know, I have talked historically on the show about how I didn’t record. Video because so many times when I do these podcasts, they just come from my heart, and so I close my eyes when I talk and I thought, this is gonna be the weirdest video because I’m gonna be just sitting there, but I’m gonna be, have my eyes shut and I, you know, I won’t. It’ll, I’ll just look like a weirdo. And what I decided was that I actually can do it. I can do video with my eyes open and I can think with my eyes open, I can walk and chew gum and think at the same time. So this week I wanted to talk with you about something that I have been working on that is, a practice I would say that I have had for years and years off and on for probably 15 years. And about two years ago I started doing it really religiously, and this year I even got sort of a special way to do it. So historically, how I have always done it is in these little mole skin notebooks. I have a whole bunch of ’em that I get, you know, when I go to events or go to a conference and they give you the notebook and I always write in my iPad. During those conferences, I bring those home and I have all these mole skin notebooks. And what I have used them for is to do something called scripting. Now I’m gonna talk about how I do it specifically, ’cause I think it is a little bit unique, but I have used them for scripting. And the great thing about it to me was that I could script, I could do what I’m gonna explain and then I could just toss these out. Like I didn’t need to keep them. Sometimes I would keep them for a year. Just recently I did a huge. Huge clean out, and I tossed some from 2017, so some really old ones, and it felt good to just purge and get rid of stuff. But the work that was done in them and the momentum that was created by using them. Still exists in the EERs, even if I don’t have the evidence that it was completed. And so I wanted to talk with you about scripting and about my practice for scripting and what that looks like. So. Let’s dive in here. This year, what I have done is I started using my Paper Republic Journal. This is a journal I’ve had for, I don’t know, maybe almost a year. It’s just a leather journal. I love it because it has all these pockets and I could put things in it and,, it lets you, it’s a traveler’s journal, so it has these elastic bands and it kind of lets you add in certain components, different notebooks. I buy. These notebooks on. Etsy, and you can see I have one of ’em here. It’s blue, but they’re just thin little notebooks. And so I can use them for a whole bunch of things. And I have different colors just ’cause it’s fun and I buy a whole section of them. I’ll put it in the show notes in YouTube, but I buy like a 10 of them, a 10 pack at a time. So they have different ones. Some of them have graphs inside, some of them have dots, some of them have lines. So whatever it is that I need. I use those for different things. So the practice that I really wanted to show you was scripting, but while I’ve got my journal out, let me just show you the other. So the other thing that I have here that I use these little notebooks for is my visioning. And this is really in the morning. I really like that first hour when I wake up to not even look at my phone. Like definitely not my email. I don’t wanna look at my text messages. I don’t want anybody to need me. For at least an hour now when my daughter was younger and now I have a cat. So sometimes my time isn’t always my own. But you know, I understand we have things that happen in our life, but right now I am in a really exceptional time in my life where I get to choose. I get to choose everything and it’s glorious. And one of the things I get to choose is what I do in this first hour when I wake up. So when I first wake up, that hour is really sacred to me. I don’t wanna be responding to my team. Sometimes they’ll leave me messages in the evening. I don’t want to be checking email. I don’t want to be responding to clients. I want to be able to fortify myself first and what that means for me. Coffee. What that means for me is coffee first. So I usually will make my coffee. I have an espresso machine and sometimes I make a Americano. Sometimes I make a latte. And then I come in here to my office and I have this little thinking chair and a little, you know, thing here with all my books. I have a little setup with my lamp and all of my pens and all kinds of stuff, right? So I’ve got all these little things to be able to use this hour really successfully. So one of the most important things that I do is inside my Paper Republic Journal. And so how I start off typically is I’ll go to my vision boarding, my visioning, I have a book that I bought. I just got this on Amazon. It’s. A vision board book. It’s got a thousand images and quotes. They have all different ones. There’s just different photos in here now. When I put together my visioning pages, it’s really a book for me to open up and to use my imagination. So these pictures don’t have to be exactly the thing that I want to do. It has to be something that makes me feel something. So sometimes there are photos in here, like there’s one of multicolored yarn. It’s really pretty yarn. Let me just show you so it’s yarn in a pile because I want to be reminded of how good creativity feels to me. I have pictures of women with friends, right? They’re by a pool. Um, it’s all good, just a little quote. And I also have little things that I have thought while I have been looking at these, and I jot those down, like feeling the sun on my body, feeling cool, water on my feet, knowing that I created the life that I want. And so what I do in the morning is I just go through my book, I peruse my book, and. You know, there’s things about my home that I’m gonna buy at the end of this year. There’s things about money and investing. There’s things about friendships, there’s things about, partnership and the people I wanna surround myself with. And so many good things that just make me feel. Really hopeful and alive and appreciative really for what I have. So I usually will go through my visioning book and get in a really good feeling. And then what I do is I open up my planner. Now I have been using, and this year I started last year. I started at towards the end of the year, half of the year. But this year I got the daily planner from Paper Republic. And I love it because it’s just dots on every page. So it’s just these big blank pages. It’s not like a regular agenda. And I use an online calendar anyway, but what I do every day is I open this up and I just start writing as if it’s a day in the future. Now, for my work, typically I run on 90 day sprints, so I have goals. Like I love a good goal, right? But I, an annual goal to me gets totally lost. What’s gonna happen December 31st? I won’t even think about it till the end of September and then, then I’ll be like cramming to try to finish. And so what works really well for me is 90 day sprints. So instead I have an annual goal, but I’ve broken it down into. Into quarters basically. And so right now I’m working this first quarter, which ends on March 31st. And so when I go into to write in my planner, I write is now March 31st, 2026. And I am so excited because when I woke up today, I looked in my email and I found the most incredible invitation to go to. You know, I come up with some crazy stuff, like anything that feels fun in the moment. And that’s the idea, is that I want to be expanding. You know, the other day I wrote about how I got invited to serve Richard Branson’s Island. Like is that gonna happen by March 31st? Uh, well, even as I say that, I’m like, maybe, I don’t know. I don’t know maybe, but. It’s fun to think about it, and it’s outside the box of my normal life. It gives me a, a new way of thinking and something to focus on. You know, our unconscious minds wants a trellis, right? It wants us to plant a stake in the ground and to go, this is the thing you need to climb up. And if you are constantly planting stakes in the ground that are worry and nerves and hopelessness, that just means you’re human. But it also means that you need to really consciously add in moments to create something different, right? You’ve got to. Create time in the morning. I mean, this takes me 15 minutes probably to do this whole thing, to look through the vision pages, to feel really good and to start writing. And the writing probably takes me, I don’t know, seven minutes. It’s not long, but it is enough to start my brain going in a different direction because when I am working with my brain, when I am consciously creating changes in my brain. What I am doing is setting up a track, like a railroad track for where it’s going to go. And if I’m focused on the things I don’t want, then that’s where it’s gonna go. And my unconscious mind is trained. It’s built, it’s designed to show you more of what you’re focused. And if you are focused on all the things that can go wrong and all the ways that life is trash and all the ways that people have hurt you or. Controlled you or you know, used guilt and manipulation to make you do things you didn’t wanna do. Like that means you’re human. And it means that if you’re spending time focusing on that, that’s what your brain’s gonna show you. More of your unconscious mind operates on repetition and emotion. And if those things, and worry so often is emotional, if those two things are not where you wanna go, you’re actually working against yourself. One of the things that I always say to my ladies when we talk about something like this, or any idea really, and when I say my ladies, I mean my ladies in my program, people that work with me, I always say, I don’t care if it’s, if what you’re saying is real, like I believe you, that it’s real, but I don’t care because a lot of things could be real. There could be a whole bunch of real going on right now that you just don’t notice because your brain is deleting it. Our brains naturally delete and distort things. That’s what they do in order to make sense of the world. I remember several years ago. There was a GIF shortage, Jiffy Peanut Butter, and every time I went to the grocery store, they’d have like a little thing that said we’re sorry, we’re out on of gif. There’s a shortage. I don’t remember what happened, but they didn’t have it at my grocery store. And GIF is the brand that I like. And so every time I went I was like, oh my God. No, no, Jeff. And then, I mean, it was a while. It was like, you know, six weeks, probably every week when I went. No peanut butter. And there was one week where my daughter went with me, she was maybe 15, and I said, they don’t have GF, and I looked, they didn’t have it. I, once again, they don’t have it. And she got this really weird look on her face and she’s like, it’s right there. It was almost face level. You know how the shelves go. It was almost face level, but I was so sure that it wasn’t there, that my brain deleted it. It. I’m not making that up. That’s actually what our brains do. It wants to create the environment that you think is true. So reality was that the peanut butter was there. My daughter could see it, but my reality, my reality was very different. Who knows how long I had been depriving myself of Jeff Peanut butter, just for the sake of being right, because that’s what I expected. So the whole idea with my scripting in the morning is to create a different expectation. Now, will Sir Richard Branson reach out to me? I don’t know, even as I wanna say, no, my body feels like maybe because I have trained myself so much to be open to a possibility of something that I never expected for a possibility of something like so thrilling and fun. So I wanted to offer this to you because perhaps. This strategy and this anchoring really in the morning in something expansive could work for you, you know, so many times. And somebody reached out to me this morning ’cause I shared this on Instagram and someone reached out and said like, I’m in the process of, of getting divorced. I don’t understand how I would use this. And I said, well, think about a time in the future, like maybe it’s three months. When will your divorce be final? Six months. So right now it’s January, let’s say it’s June 30th, and I’m so grateful that we parted in such a way. This is what you would write. I’m so grateful that we parted in such a way that this feels aligned. It’s for the good of everybody involved. My kids are so healthy and acclimated to it. I can see an amazing vision for my future. I’m excited about what’s coming. I feel respected and I feel like I can respect him in this new way forward. Like it doesn’t matter. And this is where I’m saying your reality doesn’t matter. ’cause if you’re like, he’s a manipulative narcissist, I believe you. I believe you. And does it make sense to spend your time focused there? It’s protective. It probably feels protective. But for this, this is about dreaming. This is about expanding what could be possible because you have no idea what could happen. Anything could happen, and so to keep that alive, to keep that open in your brain, because your brain, again, is scanning for the places and it doesn’t have to feel. I don’t want you to be like, oh my God, I’m just writing a whole bunch of lies. You’re not writing lies. You’re writing what you want. You’re writing what you want. It doesn’t have to feel real, it just has to be feel real that this is what I would love. It’s an intention. And when the intention is laid, when the railroad tracks are laid, then your brain knows where to go. So. Try, try this.

Sometimes, when the facades are crumbling, you may start to recognize the need for a controlled demolition. Not to destroy anything of value, but to strategically dismantle some of the more daunting aspects of your current human experience. Any routines, beliefs, relationships, that are no longer helpful, we must be willing to strip back to the foundation, so we can actually assess the underlying damage, reset, and rebuild. The thought experiment of a controlled demolition is very helpful, not because it's important to think of collapse, but because it can be empowering to remember your ability to rebuild better. When you take place in a controlled demolition, you are attempting to address what is worth saving, what is worth improving, and what needs to be completely gutted and reimagined from the ground up.

In most marriages (whether done intentionally or unintentionally), the lower desire spouse typically has complete control and say so when it comes to sex. They determine "if" a couple is going to have sex, "when" they are going to have sex, and everything related to sex in the relationship. Many husbands have expressed to us that they are the higher desire spouse and are scared to initiate sex with their wife for fear of rejection, having it cause an argument or conflict, and many other reasons. Because of this, and the fact that most women have a responsive desire style, many couples are not connecting sexually in their relationship (and often living in sexless marriages, or close to) because sex in the marriage is typically up to the wife.In this podcast episode Nick and Amy discuss the reasons why this is, and how couples can work together to find a balance in their sexual intimacy and relationship where both spouses needs and desires are being met, and sex is something that both spouses have mutual respect and control over in the relationship.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

Lifestyle FREEDOM - The Controlled Way In this episode of **Join Up Dots**, David Ralph tackles the number one question he hears from listeners: "I'd love to quit my job, but I don't know what I can do instead." Rather than chasing big ideas or dramatic leaps, David strips entrepreneurship back to what really matters — covering your bills first and building from there. Drawing on his own experience of jumping too early and feeling the pressure that followed, he explains why the smartest path to freedom is starting small, creating side income alongside your job, and replacing expenses one by one before ever handing in your notice. This episode is a grounded, reassuring reminder that you don't need to know your life's purpose to begin — you just need to create options, reduce risk, and let confidence grow naturally over time. If you've been overthinking your next move, this conversation will help you breathe, refocus, and take the first realistic step forward. If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who's feeling stuck at work and dreaming of something more.

THE POWER AND DECLINE OF WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST Colleague David Pietrusza. Media magnate William Randolph Hearst, who controlled a vast empire of newspapers and radio stations, shifted from a Rooseveltsupporter in 1932 to a fierce critic by 1936. Hearst's reputation suffered after a controversial meeting with Adolf Hitler, which he attempted to downplay, but which accelerated his decline in popularity. Roosevelt, concerned about "crackpot ideas" and opposition from the wealthy, attempted to neutralize Hearst through intermediaries. However, the President's "soak the rich" tax policies deeply angered Hearst, leading the publisher to order his income reduced to avoid taxes and solidifying his break with FDR. NUMBER 5

If you're feeling a little queasy about the pace of change, you're not alone. AI is accelerating competition in almost every market, and it's making some business models feel irrelevant almost overnight.  In this episode of Built to Sell Radio, John Warrillow talks with Ryan O'Leary, who saw a similar wave coming in payments when Shopify started bundling merchant processing into its plans. O'Leary chose to sell before the shift crushed margins, structuring a deal that put most of his cash in hand up front. In this episode, you discover how to  • Decide whether to raise capital, hire a CEO, roll equity, or sell • Spot the early signals that a platform is about to "bundle" you into irrelevance • Run a tight sale process with a short target list and still generate multiple LOIs fast • Negotiate for deal structure that protects you, not just a higher multiple • Limit earnout risk by keeping the earnout short and the rules hard to game • Separate emotion from the numbers so you can negotiate clean • Keep your team aligned through the transition by sharing upside, including the earnout

The arrogance of Washington DC is nothing new or surprising, but its inability to recognize that the Law of Unintended Consequences is undefeated might end up making this impending collapse even worse.Gore's ability to objectively predict the housing crisis 18 months in advance of the 2008 collapse helps when analyzing the current geopolitical and financial headwinds that await the public in 2024.

The American Indian leader Wakara was among the most influential and feared men in the nineteenth-century American West. He and his pan-tribal cavalry of horse thieves and slave traders dominated the Old Spanish Trail, the region’s most important overland route. They widened the trail and expanded its watering holes, reshaping the environmental and geographical boundaries of the region. They also exacted tribute from travelers passing along the trail and assisted the trail’s explorers with their mapmaking projects—projects that shaped the political and cultural boundaries of the West. What’s more, as the West’s greatest horse thief and horse trader as well as the region’s most prolific trader in enslaved Indians, Wakara supplied Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo-American settlers from Santa Fe to San Bernardino with the labor and horsepower that fueled empire and settler colonial expansion as well as fueled great changes to the West’s environmental landscape.Today’s guest is Max Mueller, author of of Wakara’s America: The Life and Legacy of a Native Founder of the American West. We look at his complex and sometimes paradoxical story, revealing a man who both helped build the settler American West and defended Native sovereignty. Wakara was baptized a Mormon and allied with Mormon settlers against other Indians to seize large parts of modern-day Utah. Yet a pan-tribal uprising against the Mormons that now bears Wakara’s name stalled and even temporarily reversed colonial expansion. Through diplomacy and through violence, Wakara oversaw the establishment of settlements, built new trade routes, and helped create the boundaries that still define the region.
