And I think I'm probably the latter.” Prano Bailey-Bond Take a blank sheet of paper and choose one of these questions: What do I want to say? What do I want to ask? Tip: If the answer is ‘I don't know', dare yourself to fill the line anyway. Then maybe the next. Give it a few minutes – because the flow takes turning the tap on. Main Exercise: Read your answer back to yourself. What visual images come up? Or what conversations between characters in your life? Draw one of the images. Write one of the conversations (the actual dialogue – what the characters say to each other/how they argue with each other!).
OUR NEW WEBSITE IS WORSE THAN YOU HOPED: www.itsnotthecar.com/ Once, long ago, a German engineer looked at a VW Beetle and thought, “Ahh, my little streitzel, we should tango with the hot-rod physics of love!” The Porsche 911 is divisive. People love 'em. People hate 'em. People fire 'em backward into ditches and Armco and spit excuses for how it wasn't their fault—widowmaker car, Wreck-cellence Was Expected, blah blah blah. (“Too much understeer! Too much oversteer! Chappell Roan! ANYTHING BUT ME!”) Is it the [fault of the] car? It is not! This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel. This ep's format is called “How to Drive It.” Please do not hit play while you are in the middle of crashing a Porsche and expect it to help. Related Trivia: Ross and Jeff have raced 911s professionally. Sam has tested countless 911 variants for places like Road & Track and 000—from 2.0-liter Daytona winners to a 934, a 935, and most of the road models since 1964. Also, “streitzel” is both a Hans Stuck nickname and a kind of German pastry, and if those facts bring you joy, you are indeed nerdy enough for this show.

We tell racing stories and leave out the boring parts. Ross Bentley is a former IndyCar driver and a world-renowned performance coach and author. Jeff Braun is a champion race engineer. Sam Smith is an award-winning journalist and a former executive editor of Road & Track magazine. Together, we explore the emotion at the heart of the machine. We don't love racing for the nuts and bolts—we love it for what it asks of the bag of meat at the wheel. New episodes every Tuesday.
Lights! Camera! Traction! Last time we talked about cars on Baconsale, Kent & Joel were a little out of their element. Therefore, on this episode, we've swerved back into the pop culture lane to discuss famous motor vehicles from movies & TV. We'll be selecting answers for such categories as Best in a Street Race, Completely Impractical (But We Still Want to Drive It), Family Vacation Car, Non-DeLorean Time Machine, and Wouldn't Drive It If You Paid Me. As we wildly shift gears and talk about films we've never mentioned on the podcast before, we hope you enjoy Joel needing to know the colors, Kent's constant attempts to impress women, and Zack trying to not laugh at our automobile ignorance. Press play to cram your car full of NOS and Gushers.

The Gauntleteer is Missing! A Gauntlet Comics Summer Crossover. The Gauntleteer has taken many forms throughout the history of New Gauntlet City, but always they are a beacon of hope and an anchor of stability. Suddenly, the Gauntleteer is missing... and only you heroes even remember they existed! Can you save an aspect of the Gauntleteer and restore balance to your era? ----------------------------------- It's the 1980's and you may have your MTV and your Personal Computers, you've got super-powers, too. Some may say "greed is good" and yuppies have supplanted the socially conscious hippies, you're here to stand for something! The Gauntleteer of the Bronze Age, the Neon Hero, has disappeared. New Gauntlet City needs heroes to stand up and fight, and hopefully you can find the Gauntleteer, too. So throw on your acid-washed jeans, your tracksuits, your ruffled shirts, or your leotard and get out there and hit them with your Buffalo Stance! We're using the Hearts & Souls RPG by Tim Kirk: Hearts & Souls is a superhero role-playing game that takes you back to the comic books. It's "Drive" based system making the reason your character is a hero more important to his success than stats and dice. Just what is Drive? It is a way to answer the question: Why are you a hero? So why would you do it? Were your parents murdered callously simply for some unscrupulous criminal to get his hands on their enormous wealth? Do you feel responsible for powers that go beyond mere mortal ken? Choose a drive, make it what matters, and be a hero.

On this episode of The Alliance Activity podcast, Andy Albright comes to you live from his home in Treasure Island, Fla. to talk about why success matters to the team. Success matters. If it didn't, then we wouldn't keep score in pretty much everything we do. Where do you begin your successful journey? "Real success requires us to drive into uncertainty. You will never find what you don't know yet, by just looking in places you know." -- unknown THE PATH: Trust - the path that ensures reliability. Initiative - the path that accesses effort. Drive - the path that recognizes opportunity. Ways to start trusting: Disconnect from the past (Stop looking for old answers in new places). Rely on the present (find connection with the moment by learning to ride the waves instead of trying to change the tide). Expect better from the Future (let go of the attachment to the results of yesterday and start trusting the activity of tomorrow). Trust: In order to believe in this path, one must be willing to separate their future from their past. This happens when you stop looking for old answers in new places. When one starts to trust the path they are on, they find reliance in the connection of the present, they are able to disconnect from the Ghost of Christmas Past and they start to expect a better future. By trusting more and pushing back less, you learn to ride the waves instead of trying to change the tide. Letting go of your attachment to the results, frees yourself up to concentrate on the process of trusting your activity. Ways to Take Initiative: Be ready to embark (take on ) in new activities (willingness will ignite persistence). Be able to impel (force) yourself down the path (push will ignite ambition). Initiative: It is the introductory step or leap of faith to set things in motion. Initiative, therefore, is your readiness to embark on new ventures. Being ready to take that first step impels your drive to kick in and pushes you further down the path. Initiative serves as the inner power or energy that pushes you toward acting and achieving. It has as much to do with persistence and ambition, and if they are absent, initiative will be absent too. Often, a person has the persistence and ambition to get something done, but will lack the initiative (push and willingness) to take action to begin with. Ways to Feed Drive: Acknowledge the urgency of the moment (the critical nature of an action). Stir the fire in the belly (the physical feelings of excitement). Drive: It feeds momentum to your discipline, once it understands the magnitude of the moment. Acknowledging the urgency and critical nature of an action, may awake the drive in an individual, but it will not sustain itself without a need to achieve. People who lack a fire in the belly (physical feeling of excitement), and who need a shot in the arm (improves a person's focus), also lack drive. These individuals, at this juncture, need a swift kick in the ass (tough love) if you truly care about them becoming functional in society. How should you travel on your journey to success? "When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the blow that did it, but all that had gone before." -- Jacob Riis Hope - the vehicle that compels us to take another step. Persistence - the vehicle that produces the results. Discipline - the vehicle that trains your intention. Ways to Ignite Hope: Start looking forward with desire (what is wanted can be had with a little more effort). Start believing things can get better (sustains your actions by providing them breath). Hope: It is the feeling that what is wanted can be had by looking forward with desire. Hope is what tells us that a little more effort will get us there. It keeps us going. But you can't just tell someone to have hope. They must believe that things can get better. This belief sustains our actions by providing them breath. Ways to Find Persistence: Sticking to a task regardless of instant progress (most people give up before they see results). Stop waiting on a miracle (the scales will NOT tip in your favor without work). Persistence: It says just keep working at it. Without it you are just waiting on a miracle. Therefore, it comes from not giving up and sticking to something regardless of instant progress. That is the tipping point: where is seems like everything you have been doing is in vain, but just a little more effort tips the scales in your favor and results start to come faster and faster. Most people, however, give up before the tipping point. Ways to Sustain Discipline: Remain laser focused to build conditioning. Control your emotions to build determination. Prioritize your actions to build dedication. Discipline: It provides you the ability to remain laser focused, to be in control of your emotions, and able to prioritize your actions. Think of discipline as the conditioning behind your success. The more times you repeat the investment of using your determination to build your dedication, eventually you will not have to think about the goal at the end. The powerful conditioning effect of discipline will keep you from falling off your journey's pathway in a vehicle that is now on cruise control. What fuels your journey to success? "To fuel ambition and to act upon it is to embrace the unique calling of our souls. Not to act with confidence upon that ambition is to turn our backs on ourselves and on the reason for our existence." -- Steven Pressfield THE GAS: Confidence - the gas that assures one's certainty. Ambition - the gas that sparks one's goals. Routine - the gas that organizes one's behavior. Ways to Embrace Confidence: Love the chase (rely) Stay hungry (remember) Grab your edge (recapture) Confidence: It is your ability to embrace the Amateur in your memory. The word amateur comes from the Latin to love what you do. This type of love for the game or chase fuels your confidence, and allows you to see the same old present rut with fresh eyes from a past perspective. This is only accomplished by staying hungry and remembering what it was like to actually be hungry (recapturing your eye of the tiger). You were your strongest when you were struggling. That edge groomed you with a blanket of confidence for a future of challenges. Ways to Capture Ambition: Make your goals a target. Make your target a purpose. Make your purpose a routine. Ambition: A goal is the target set by a person, and ambition is a desire to reach that goal. A goal is what it takes to pay your bills, but ambition is why you do the what (the steps). This why (the purpose) keeps you from complaining while pursuing a goal. If your ambitious why is bigger than the what, then you will never grow tired of a routine. Ways to Accept Routine: Decide what you want (discipline your passion with priority). Consistently do the same thing (discipline your time with process). Routine: This acceptance of a fixed program is the indication of an intelligent person as well as a sign or evidence of ambition existing in that person. The best way to discipline someone's passion or ambition is to discipline their time with routine. Decide what you want or ought to be doing to further forward progress, then always do it consistently the same way and at the same time everyday (mastering the mundane), and passion or ambition will give you no trouble. Therefore, routine must become a process that is never renegotiated and must be treated as a priority. If you put all this together then you are putting yourself on the right road to find yourself with a full tank of gas that can help you create a success-filled journey with The Alliance. www.AndyAlbright.com @AndySAlbright www.NAALeads.com @NationalAgentsAlliance @NAALeadsTheWay #TheAlliance #DoTheDo #N247RU

Interview with Rabia Ahmed, Executive Director of Strategic Marketing and Admissions at NYU Stern School of Business [Show Summary] NYU Stern is always on the cutting edge, and their new Change: Studio branding reflects that. Executive Director of Strategic Marketing and Admissions, Rabia Ahmed, shares details of the new program as well as what else is new at Stern. At NYU Stern, change is in the air! [Show Notes] It gives me great pleasure to have on Admissions Straight Talk for the first time, Rabia Ahmed, Executive Director of Strategic Marketing and Admissions at NYU Stern School of Business. Rabia attended Montclair Sate University and earned her MA in International Education from NYU. She began working at NYU Stern in 2005 and in 2006 became the Assistant Director of MBA Admissions. She has been climbing the admissions office ladder every since, and while this is Rabia’s first time on AST, NYU’s Isser Gallogly has been on several times. I don’t usually like to have school representatives on year after year. However NYU Stern always is innovating and changing things up, so I’ve needed to invite someone from NYU Stern to the show year after year. Indeed NYU Stern’s focus and brand are synonymous with change. We’re going to learn more about that from Rabia. Can you give a brief overview of the Stern MBA program focusing on the more distinctive elements? [2:25] I would highlight three main things – our location, our attitude, and our people. We are located in the greatest neighborhood in the greatest city in the world, we are able to bring in amazing adjunct faculty, and have partnerships with organizations for recruiting but also for experiential learning projects in our backyard. We are also on the move, unbound by tradition, and always thinking about where business is going to make sure we stay in front of it, innovate, and experiment. Finally, people you meet at NYU are really special. When you meet the people you can see how incredible they are. Our faculty is one of the largest, and runs the gamut of industry and function. My next question is usually “what’s new?” but there is so much new at NYU Stern that I’m going to change things up. Last month Stern announced a re-branding focused on embracing and initiating change. We’re going to explore some of the elements in the program that really reflect that brand starting with Change:Studio. What is Change:Studio? How is it going to work? [5:31] We want students to leave with preparation for the future. When thinking about how quickly things are changing – technology, how people work - we think about how we prepare students to embrace that change. Change: Studio brings together leadership, experiential learning, and entrepreneurship in co-curricular programming to provide a structure with which to drive change in an organization. The curriculum overall is called Dare It, Dream It, Drive It. Dare It is focused on leadership, Dream It on experiential learning, and Drive It on starting something new. Everyone goes through the beginning stages of Change:Studio with orientation in the leadership simulation and then they can opt into the Change:Studio program. NYU Stern recently started allowing its applicants to submit the GMAC Executive Assessment in addition to the GRE and GMAT. Why? How is the EA different? [11:25] We have always been an early adopter – we were one of the first schools to accept the GRE. We know testing is very stressful and wanted to make sure students had options. When talking to GMAC we felt this exam could be a really good one for our fulltime program to assess for academic readiness. It is designed for professionals, is shorter in duration, and takes less time to prepare for, so thought it could be a good option for some. We have no preference over which test you decide to take. NYU Stern also released a stellar employment report. Can you go over the numbers for the FT program? [13:13] Our median salary is an all time high and increased by ...
