Doug welcomes Kasim, a seven figure entrepreneur who's mastered the art of turning goals into reality. From writing himself 100 million dollar checks to building the world's #1 Google Ads agency without ever running a campaign himself, Kasim reveals the "magic" behind goal setting and the science of habit formation. Discover why motivation is dangerous, how to weaponise your mornings, and the counterintuitive truth about delegation that could compress 30 years of work into 10. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Kasim has been obsessively goal setting since discovering Tony Robbins at 17. Writing himself checks for $10 million, then $100 million has created something beyond what science can explain in manifesting what he wants. • Through his systematic approach, Kasim cultivates one habit for 10 weeks before moving to the next, allowing him to build five cornerstone habits per year. • After habituating his 4AM routine of sauna, cold plunge, workout and meditation, Kasim operates on complete autopilot. When people ask "how?" he explains he's literally not even conscious during the process. • Despite building the world's #1 Google Ads agency with 200 clients and 100M under management, Kasim has never personally run a campaign end-to-end - Everything was accomplished through strategic delegation. • For first time habit formers, Kasim recommends starting with drinking more water instead of hitting the gym. The goal isn't maximum value but learning the skill of habit formation itself. • According to Kasim's analysis, 60% of most people's calendars contain superfluous tasks. These could be done by others, probably better, freeing up time for more useful tasks. • Waking up two hours before most people gives Kasim an advantage, those morning hours provide 4-6 times more value than equivalent time later in the day. • Through his agency Pareto Talent, Kasim aims to place 1,000 international EAs, then scale to 10,000, creating meaningful work opportunities while delivering exceptional value to Western businesses. BEST MOMENTS "There's magic in it. You know, there's something beyond what science can explain in goal setting. There really is, you could call it energetic or divine or God.” "You don't rise to the level of your capability. You fall to the level of your systems." "I wake up two hours earlier than you. You can and will never catch up to me the whole day and for the rest of your life." "Here's the fun part. I've never run a Google Ads campaign end-to-end in my life. And Doug, I wouldn't know how to." "Nobody wakes up at four o'clock in the morning and sits down and eats Cheetos and watches TV."

 In today's episode, we're diving into social stories — those short, purposeful narratives designed to help people better understand specific situations, events, or tasks. You've probably heard of them, especially in the context of supporting neurodivergent children, including those with autism, ADHD, or challenges with transitions and change.  Social stories can be incredibly powerful tools — if they're done right. But writing them isn't just about being creative; it's about being intentional. That's why today, we're breaking down: What social stories are and who can benefit from them Why they work (and when they don't) The step-by-step process to write a high-quality social story Real-life EAS examples to guide you A free downloadable resource to help you get started!What to expect at your first evaluation video “social story”:  https://hetra.org/programming/participant-resources/getting-started.htmlAccess to the Neurodivergent mini course and other HETRA University webinars: https://hetra.org/education/register-for-webinars.htmlPatreon link for the social story handout: www.patreon.com/notjustaponyrideThis episode is proudly sponsored by Freedom Rider:  https://freedomrider.com/Follow us on social and plug in here:  https://hetrauniversity.mykajabi.com/HETRAUniversityLinks

Summary In this article, I argue most of the interesting cross-cause prioritization decisions and conclusions rest on philosophical evidence that isn't robust enough to justify high degrees of certainty that any given intervention (or class of cause interventions) is “best” above all others. I hold this to be true generally because of the reliance of such cross-cause prioritization judgments on relatively weak philosophical evidence. In particular, the case for high confidence in conclusions on which interventions are all things considered best seems to rely on particular approaches to handling normative uncertainty. The evidence for these approaches is weak and different approaches can produce radically different recommendations, which suggest that cross-cause prioritization intervention rankings or conclusions are fundamentally fragile and that high confidence in any single approach is unwarranted. I think the reliance of cross-cause prioritization conclusions on philosophical evidence that isn't robust has been previously underestimated in EA circles [...] ---Outline:(00:14) Summary(06:03) Cause Prioritization Is Uncertain and Some Key Philosophical Evidence for Particular Conclusions is Structurally Weak(06:11) The decision-relevant parts of cross-cause prioritization heavily rely on philosophical conclusions(09:26) Philosophical evidence about the interesting cause prioritization questions is generally weak(17:35) Aggregation methods disagree(21:27) Evidence for aggregation methods is weaker than empirical evidence of which EAs are skeptical(24:07) Objections and Replies(24:11) Aren't we here to do the most good? / Aren't we here to do consequentialism? / Doesn't our competitive edge come from being more consequentialist than others in the nonprofit sector?(25:28) Can't I just use my intuitions or my priors about the right answers to these questions? I agree philosophical evidence is weak so we should just do what our intuitions say(27:27) We can use common sense / or a non-philosophical approach and conclude which cause area(s) to support. For example, it's common sense that humanity going extinct would be really bad; so, we should work on that(30:22) I'm an anti-realist about philosophical questions so I think that whatever I value is right, by my lights, so why should I care about any uncertainty across theories? Can't I just endorse whatever views seem best to me?(31:52) If the evidence in philosophy is as weak as you say, this suggests there are no right answers at all and/or that potentially anything goes in philanthropy. If you can't confidently rule things out, wouldn't this imply that you can't distinguish a scam charity from a highly effective group like Against Malaria Foundation?(34:08) I have high confidence in MEC (or some other aggregation method) and/or some more narrow set of normative theories so cause prioritization is more predictable than you are suggesting despite some uncertainty in what theories I give some credence to(41:44) Conclusion (or well, what do I recommend?)(44:05) AcknowledgementsThe original text contained 20 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: July 3rd, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/nwckstt2mJinCwjtB/we-should-be-more-uncertain-about-cause-prioritization-based --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

In this episode of The EA Campus Podcast, we're taking a deep dive into the Eisenhower Matrix — specifically the quadrant that too often gets overlooked: important but not urgent work.As Executive Assistants, it's easy to get caught in the whirlwind of urgent requests, Slack pings, and last-minute diary dramas. But real strategic impact? That lives in Quadrant 2.Join Nicky Christmas as she explores how EAs can protect time for the work that improves processes, builds trust, and prevents future fires — all without needing a crisis to prioritise it. You'll learn how to schedule and defend deep work time, link your projects to long-term goals, and frame your accomplishments to reflect the real value you bring.

A new Chinese ekranoplan is spotted, the Air India Flight AI171 black boxes, a Ryanair Boeing 737 evacuation, Essential Air Service subsidies, exploding soda cans on Southwest Airlines flights, and keeping your shoes on at the TSA checkpoint. Aviation News Full Photo of New Chinese Ekranoplan Breaks Cover A photograph published on Chinese social media shows a Chinese ekranoplan, a wing-in-ground-effect vehicle that resembles an airplane but typically flies over water, supported by the air between its wings and the surface. Previously In China Builds New Large Jet-Powered Ekranoplan, Naval News published a photograph showing a portion of a vehicle that appeared to be an ekranoplan. New we have a view of the entire airframe on the water. China's new ekranoplan. (Image credit: Chinese social media, via X) Air India plane crash investigation: Lawyers oppose sending black box abroad The Khaleej Times reports that a group of Indian lawyers have notified the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Air India, and Boeing India, urging that the investigation remain entirely under Indian jurisdiction. They argue that sending the black boxes from Air India Flight AI171 to foreign entities could compromise the transparency and independence of the investigation. The black boxes were flown to the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) lab in Delhi for analysis. Indian and NTSB experts were present. 18 Passengers Injured As False Fire Alarm Prompts Emergency Evacuation Of Ryanair Boeing 737 After a fire alarm activated on a Ryanair Boeing 737, a chaotic passenger evacuation ensued, resulting in 18 passengers being injured, including six who were taken to local hospitals. The evacuation took place on the tarmac at Palma Airport on the Spanish Island of Mallorca. Passengers evacuated the plane via emergency slides, as well as onto the wings. See also: Ryanair Boeing 737 Fire Triggers Wing Evacuation at Palma Airport, 18 Injured. President Trump wants to slash subsidies for small airports across rural America Congress created the Essential Air Service (or EAS) in 1978 as part of the Airline Deregulation Act. The EAS was designed to ensure that small and rural communities would continue to receive a minimum level of scheduled commercial air service after deregulation. Initially authorized for a ten-year term, it is now permanently authorized by Congress. About 180 airports benefit from EAS funding. See: Current List of Eligible EAS Communities (Excluding Alaska & Hawaii) [PDF]. Estimates of EAS spending vary between approximately $200 million and $394 million due to differences in how the program's funding is categorized, the inclusion of both discretionary and mandatory appropriations, and variations in budget requests versus enacted appropriations. Southwest Airlines Explains What's [sic] It's Doing To Tackle The Curious Case Of The Exploding Soda Cans Previously, we talked about exploding soda cans on Southwest Airlines flights that mysteriously exploded and injured flight attendants. It was observed that Southwest didn't chill its in-flight supplies, and the cans could sit for hours in the heat before being moved onto the plane. Since then, Southwest started using 60 refrigerated vehicles in Phoenix and Las Vegas, with the possible addition to the catering fleet in Dallas and Houston. Also, the crew has infrared guns to check soda can temperature. Numerous Outlets Are Citing TikTok for a TSA Rule Change on Shoes, but What Does TSA Say? Several media outlets report that as of July 7, 2025, the TSA has made a significant policy change and all travelers, regardless of PreCheck status, will now be allowed to keep their shoes on during security screening. As we recorded this episode, reports were inconsistent and the TSA had not published an official statement. See: You Can Finally Keep Your Shoes On—TSA's 23-Year Airport Security Rule Ended Today.

Summary In this episode of the Pay Play Profit podcast, Jess Stafford discusses the essential roles within a financial team for small businesses, including CPAs, EAs, bookkeepers, and accountants. She emphasizes the importance of understanding each role and how they contribute to a business's financial health.

Takeaways Understanding the roles of financial professionals is crucial for business success. Profit First flips the traditional profit equation to prioritize profit first.

The complexity of bookkeeping is increasing, requiring skilled professionals. Every financial decision impacts overall business profitability.

I sat down with Monique Helstrom, a specialized recruiter and coach who focuses on the relationship between executives and their assistants. As Simon Sinek's former "Chief of Simon," Monique brings incredible insight into how high-performance individuals can build powerful partnerships with their EAs. We dive into the misconceptions about AI replacing EAs, why most executives don't know how to properly utilize their assistants, and the real role of an EA as the "builder" to the executive's "architect." Monique talks candidly about how ego often gets in the way of these relationships, the importance of vulnerability from both sides, and why an EA isn't just someone who manages your calendar but a strategic partner who can anticipate your needs and make your vision come true. If you're an executive struggling to find the right EA or an assistant looking to level up your game, this conversation is essential listening.We Meet: Monique Helstorm, On Point Inc.
