Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes 20% Solution: Why Less Effort Creates More Results May 7, 2025 | Episode 5088 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever notice how reducing clutter in your life creates more joy? Scott reveals his powerful insight in this episode: “More is always on the other side of less.” You'll discover how untangling the mess in your current situation unlocks greater possibilities and how focusing on just 20% of your activities can deliver 80% of your results. Ready to reduce your universe and increase your happiness? This episode is your perfect starting point. Featured Story Scott dives deep into the famous 80-20 rule (also known as the Pareto Principle) and explains why he's become obsessed with the power of focusing on just 20%. He shares how taking inventory of your life and identifying which activities create results can transform your productivity. But beware - Scott warns about the temptation to fill that newfound free time with meaningless activities that pull you back into old patterns. Key Takeaways When you reduce your universe, you increase your joy - more is always on the other side of less. About 20% of your daily activities generate 80% of your results - identifying and focusing on that 20% is transformational. If you don't hold space for yourself after clearing the deck, you'll quickly fill it with the 80% of activities that don't serve your goals. Memorable Quotes “More is always on the other side of less.” “Everything you want in life is easier when you reduce your universe.” “When you go from more to less, you get more.” Scott's Three-Step Approach Take a complete inventory (not an audit!) of your life, actions, and results - write down everything without judgment. Identify the vital 20% of activities that generate 80% of your desired results. Hold space fiercely for that 20% by creating boundaries - like building “a moat and castle” - to prevent less important activities from creeping back in.

Main one being how we can locate our hidden in subconscious identity that often creates unhealthy patterns of behavior in our lives, there fore blocking us form the life we truly want to have.

Silas Farley, former New York City Ballet dancer and current Dean of the Colburn School's Trudl Zipper Dance Institute, explores the profound connections between classical ballet, Christian worship, and embodied spirituality. From his early exposure to liturgical dance in a charismatic Lutheran church to his career as a professional dancer and choreographer, Farley illuminates how the physicality of ballet can express deep spiritual truths and serve as an act of worship.Episode Highlights from Silas Farley“The physicality of ballet is cruciform. The dancer stands in a turned-out position... the body becomes the intersection of the vertical and the horizontal plane.”“Sin makes the soul curve in on itself, whereas holiness or wholeness in God opens us up.”“We are Christian humanists. We don't need to be intimidated by beauty.”“There's knowledge and insight in all the different parts of our bodies, not just in our brain.”“The mystery of the incarnation is that when the creator of all things wanted to make himself known to his creation, he didn't come as a vapor or as a mountain or as a bird. But he came as a man.”Resources for Ballet EngagementLocal community ballet companies/schools“B is for Ballet” (ABT children's book)“My Daddy Can Fly” (ABT)Celestial Bodies, by Laura JacobsApollo's Angels, by Jennifer HomansSilas Farley's Podcast: Hear the Dance (NYC Ballet)The Nutcracker (NYC Ballet/Balanchine)Jewels (1967, Balanchine)Agon (Balanchine/Stravinsky)About Silas FarleySilas Farley is a professional ballet dancer and choreographer. Dean of the Trudl Zipper Dance Institute at the Colburn School in Los Angeles, Silas is a former New York City Ballet dancer, choreographer, and educator. He also currently serves as Armstrong Artist in Residence in Ballet in the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University.His work includes choreography for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Houston Ballet, and the New York City Ballet. He hosts the Hear the Dance podcast and creates works that integrate classical ballet with spiritual themes.Silas also serves on the board of The George Balanchine Foundation.Show NotesSilas Farley's Early Dance Background & FormationSilas Farley: Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina; youngest of 7 children (4 brothers, 2 sisters); multiracial family (white father, Black mother)First exposure through charismatic Lutheran church's liturgical dance ministrySaw formal ballet at age 6 when Christian ballet company Ballet Magnifica performedDance initially experienced as form of worship before performanceLiturgical vs Classical BalletLiturgical dance:Amplifies worshipFunctions as embodied prayerNot primarily performativeHistorical examples: David with Ark of Covenant, Miriam after Red Sea crossingClassical ballet:Performed on proscenium stageRequires specific trainingFocuses on virtuosic movementsExplicitly performativeBoth forms serve as offerings/vessels for transmitting energy to audienceTechnical Elements of Ballet: Turnout, Spiritual Turnout, and Opening UpFoundational concept of “turnout”—rotation of feet/hips outward“That idea of turnout makes the body more expressive in a way. Because if our toes are straightforward, like the way we're designed, you only see a certain amount of the leg. Whereas if the body stands turned out, you see the whole inside of the musculature of the leg. It's a more complete revelation of the body.”Creates more complete revelation of body's musculaturePhysicality conveys “spiritual turnout” - openness/receptiveness“Spiritual turnout: that you are open   and receptive and generous. And that's embodied in the physicality of ballet.”“So much of what developed as ballet as we know, it happened at the court of Louis the XIV in the  1660-1670s.”“It's not artificial, it's actually supernatural.”Physical & Spiritual Connections in Ballet“Our walk  with God is that he's  defining us so that we are becoming open. We're open to him. We're open to receive his love. We're open to be vessels of his love. We're open to receiving and exchanging love with  other people.”Freedom within the constraints movements and positionsSwan Lake: “They're so free. They're almost like birds. But that's come through a lifestyle of discipline.”“You get a hyper awareness of your own body.”Develops hyper-awareness of bodyLinks to incarnational theology—Christ as God-manFreedom through discipline and submissionMovement vocabulary builds from simple elements (plié, tendu)Plie: Mama and Dada“As a dancer grows up in ballet, the dancer then develops  this enormous vocabulary of movement  that are all reducible back to the microcosm of the plié and the tendu.”Creates infinite lines suggesting eternityCombines circular power with eternal linesTheological Dimensions of BalletSilas's choreographed interpretation of C.S. Lewis's The Four Loves, as a balletBallet and the Art of Choreography“The music and choreography were like brothers.”“Songs from the Spirit”“The music becomes my map.”Choreographing in silenceThe Role of the Audience and Their ExperienceIdeas to dialogue withA set of ideas to gather together and embodyArvo Part, The Genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3Uniting my heart with JesusI'm never didactic about it.An embodied musical experience“If I  say ‘family, friendship, romance, divine love,' you all instantly have associations, beauty, pain, trauma, consolation that are associated with those four loves.”“ I'm not writing a sermon about any of these ideas. I'm choreographing a ballet. I'm assembling these classical steps with this music to create a visceral, embodied musical experience.”The audience: “They come to it with their experiences, their own eyes and ears and their own bodies. And that's enough.”Arvo Part: “Music is white light, and the prism is the soul of the listener.”“The musical ideas are refracted through the hearer.”“The audience is always in my heart and mind.”“I always think of the artwork as an act of hospitality.  … I'm just setting the table.”What's Unique about Ballet as a Physical ArtformBeautiful interconnectednessAsking the body to reach to its limits“The Infinite Line” in BalletRadiating out into multiple eternal lines at the same timeConstant reaching in many directions at onceCruciform positioning: intersection of vertical and horizontal planes“The body becomes radiant”Use of “épaulement”—spiraling of body around spine's axisReveals pulse points (neck, wrists) creating vulnerable energy exchange with audienceOpening up the life force of the dancerNo separation between dancer and instrument (“I am the work of art”)Cruciform physicalityContemporary Cultural ContextModern culture increasingly disembodied due to screens/digital media“We live in an increasingly disembodied culture, we are absorbed with screens two dimensional, uh, highly edited and curated,  mediated self presentation   as opposed to like visceral nitty gritty blood, sweat, tears, good, bad, and ugly of life itself. So we get insulated from the step that makes life what it is.”Education often treats people as “brains on sticks”“The Christian life is a lifestyle of in embodied discipleship to the God man, Jesus  Christ. And he's not a brain on a stick. He's the God man. He has a jawbone and he went through puberty and he has wounds like the beautiful hymn. It says, rich wounds, yet visible and beauty glorified. The mystery of the incarnation is that when the creator of all things wanted to make  himself known to his creation, he didn't come as a  vapor or as a mountain or as a bird, but he came as a man. And so he sublimates and affirms the glory of his creation, the materiality of his creation and the body as the crown of his creation by coming as a man.”Church needs more embodied practicesBallet offers counterpoint to disembodied tendenciesImportance of physical discipline in spiritual formationRomans 12:1 and making our bodies as living sacrificesHow to Experience Ballet“There's nothing you need to know before going to experience ballet.  You have a body, you have eyes, you have ears. That's all you need. Just let it wash over you.Let it work on you in its own kind of visceral way, and let that be an entry point  to not be intimidated by the, the music,  or the wordlessness or the tutu's or the point shoes or whatever.There's so many different stylistic manifestations of ballet. But just go experience it.And if you can, I would really encourage people almost as much or more than  watching it go see if like your local YMCA or  something has an adult ballet class, or if you're a kid, maybe ask your parents to sign you up to go try a class and just feel what that turned-out physicality feels like in your own body.It's so beautiful.

If you've ever felt silenced, stuck, or scared to share your deepest truths, this episode is your lifeline. I'm diving deep with storytelling expert Katherine Kennedy about the transformative power of speaking your authentic story - and why your voice matters more than you could ever imagine. After last week's vulnerable episode about my own childhood trauma, I knew I needed to bring Katherine onto the show to explore how sharing our stories can heal, connect, and ultimately liberate us. Whether you're navigating midlife, wrestling with past experiences, or simply craving deeper connections, this conversation will inspire you to break your silence and step into your most powerful, unapologetic self. Key Takeaways:Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness - sharing your authentic story can create deeper connections and personal growth.The "three C's" storytelling framework (Challenge, Choice, Change) can help you process and understand your personal experiences.Many women struggle with people-pleasing and hiding their true feelings, which prevents genuine connection and self-understanding.Writing can be a powerful tool for self-discovery - just 6 minutes of reflective writing each morning can provide significant insights.Speaking your truth isn't about perfection, but about showing your authentic journey and the lessons learned along the way.Midlife offers a unique opportunity to care less about others' opinions and more about personal authenticity and growth.Sharing your story isn't just for you - it can inspire and help others who may be experiencing similar challenges, creating a ripple effect of healing and connection.Katherine Says: You're Not Too F***ing Old! to share what's inside.Learn more about Jen Marples at https://www.jenmarples.comWant to work with Jen?

Ever find yourself walking into a new conversation still carrying the emotional weight of the last one? That happened to me recently, and I could feel my tone and volume were just a little… off. It wasn't anyone else's fault, but I realized I was letting leftover crankiness affect how I showed up—and that simple awareness gave me the chance to pause, laugh, and reset in real time. On today's Wise Walk, we're talking about those all-too-human moments when irritability sneaks up on us, how to spot it before it spills onto others, and what it looks like to course-correct with grace. We'll explore the difference between feeling your feelings and letting them run the show, how to own your energy without shame, and why asking “can we start again?” might be the most powerful phrase in your toolbox. Let's slow down and get real about the beauty of self-awareness, the art of emotional clean-up, and the way honest resets can lead to deeper connection and understanding. Because being human isn't about being perfect—it's about showing up, reflecting, and trying again with love. When you find yourself feeling irritable, touchy, short-tempered, or cranky, can you catch yourself?  Do you have enough self-awareness to say, okay, I'm not myself right now, I'm a little on edge?  If you impact someone because you're off your game, can you make sure they know it's your energy and not theirs that caused it?  Can you own that crankiness and respect the space and moment you're in?  Can you accept your feelings, own your energy, and still care for the people around you in those moments?  Have you ever walked into a new conversation feeling off or cranky and not showing up as your kind, genuine, caring self?  Have you ever been a little abrasive, had more volume or tone than intended, and needed to reset with someone?  Can you take a breath, ask to start again, and forgive yourself for not showing up as your best self in that moment?  Can you acknowledge that one off moment doesn't define who you are?  Can you use those human moments as an opportunity to connect and share vulnerability with others?  Do you have a pattern of sweeping things under the rug and letting it build up until it eventually spills out?  Or are you practicing constant self-cleansing, dealing with your emotions moment by moment?  Can you accept that emotions like crankiness or irritability often stem from something within you?  Can you recognize that your reactions might be related to lack of sleep, stress, or emotional weight you're carrying?  Can you be present with whatever is going on in your life and acknowledge it honestly?  Can you find a way to clear the emotional build-up so you can move forward without tripping over it later? I'd love to hear how crankiness shows up in your life—and more importantly, how your self-awareness helps you move through it.    I look forward to next Thursday for another Wise Walk. Until then, take good care of yourself. Keep reading the signs, directing your path, and getting your Stride On.   In this episode: [05:07] The other day, I had a heated conversation and I was off my game.  [06:06] I met up with some different friends and realized I had an edge to my voice when I was speaking to them. [07:02] I was carrying around the energy from the prior conversation, and I hadn't shaken it off yet. [11:13] A funny story about my mom disciplining her daughters, and my grandmother reminding her not to be quite so harsh. [12:57] How my mom created space for herself and had the self-awareness to know she could have done a little better. [14:08] Even if we're doing the best we can in the moment, we can still have the self-awareness to do better. [17:47] On a personal level, I have been going through it. Our family lost a dear loved one, and that was really hard. Also, my mom is going to have surgery on Wednesday because she fell and fractured a femur. [18:11] There's a lot of unexpected things entering my life. [19:03] I'm grateful for all of my self-awareness practices, so I can realize when I come across as cranky.   Memorable Quotes: “We all have cranky moments in life. They are inevitable. The question is—can we own them?” - Mary Tess “When we sweep things under the rug, they don't disappear. They pile up until they come flying out.” - Mary Tess “Self-awareness is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger your relationships become.” - Mary Tess   Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Heart Value

164. Consistent Visibility Creates Intentional Impact In today's episode, we explore the critical role that visibility plays in achieving career success. We debunk the common myth that hard work alone leads to recognition, and we emphasize the importance of being intentional about self-promotion. The discussion offers insights on how to recognize and effectively communicate your achievements, create a purposeful professional identity, and take concrete steps to increase your visibility in the workplace. As you listen, I encourage you to reflect on your contributions and to take a proactive approach in showcasing your value to others. In this episode: Visibility is essential for career success, not just hard work. Many professionals hold onto the myth that great work alone will lead to recognition. It's important to communicate your achievements to be seen and considered for opportunities. Comparing yourself to others can hinder your visibility and confidence. Being intentional about your visibility can create a positive perception of you. Recognizing even small achievements can help in self-promotion. You need to capture your wins for performance reviews and discussions with managers. People may not notice your contributions unless you highlight them. Creating an intentional identity helps shape how others perceive you. Consistency in visibility efforts is key to long-term success.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Have you ever felt like you're doing everything “right” in your business—strategy, content, offers, systems—but something still feels off?

I'm talking about beauty beyond aesthetics—beauty as energy, presence, and emotional resonance.

It's not just the value. It's how the look and the energy and just the feeling of it all makes you feel, makes you move how it lives in your mind. So why are we still thinking I. That the only way to grow is by hacking funnels or cranking out more content or figuring out some other strategy.” - Julie Solomon  “   A few months ago, I was mapping out this carousel post, and I remember that I paused in the moment and I was like, okay, we got a solid hook. The call to action is clear, right? Like I'm checking off the boxes of the formula, but something was missing. It felt so hollow. So instead of doing what I used to do, which is push through it and force through it and figure out a way and da, da, da, da, I stopped. I closed my laptop. I put on a playlist that lights me up, and I asked myself, what's the actual feeling I want someone to have when they see this? That moment changed so much for me because it, it made me realize that I can actually design content from the inside out.” - Julie Solomon  RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.

Chris Sims: When Terminology Creates Misunderstandings, The "Ideal Days" Story Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. In this insightful episode, Chris Sims shares a valuable lesson from his early days implementing XP and Scrum. Chris's team had established an effective workflow using relative estimation with "ideal days" rather than story points, achieving good predictability and velocity measurements. However, things took an unexpected turn when a skeptical VP discovered their tracking spreadsheet and misinterpreted their metrics as showing only 2.5 days of work per week. Despite Chris's best efforts to explain the concept of "ideal days," the misunderstanding tarnished the team's reputation. Chris emphasizes the importance of socializing your working methods with stakeholders and communicating in ways meaningful to leadership. Working "under the radar" can backfire, so transparency about your processes is crucial for organizational alignment and trust. Self-reflection Question: How transparent are you about your team's estimation methods with stakeholders who might not be familiar with agile terminology? [Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
