May 10, 2002. Former FBI agent Robert Hanssen is sentenced to life in prison without parole. His crime? Selling scads of top-secret information to the Soviets – and later, the Russians – over 22 years. How did Hanssen get away with his deception for so long, which led to the deaths of operatives working for the United States? Was he a criminal mastermind … or just a guy with incredible luck? Special thanks to our guests: Elaine Shannon, author of The Spy Next Door: The Extraordinary Secret Life of Robert Philip Hanssen, the Most Damaging FBI Agent in U.S. History, and Eric O'Neill, author of Gray Day: My Undercover Mission to Expose America's First Cyber Spy.

With Robyn Walker Goal setting. You either love it or hate it. But either way, I think we can all agree that no matter what goal setting looks like for you right now in your business, you likely wouldn’t be where you are today without it, and similarly, you'd be headed nowhere without it as well. That is precisely the opposite of what I want for you my friend. There is so much power behind strategic planning for your business, and also for your life, and this episode applies to both. 2020 has been hard on us. It threw in a lot of curve balls and plot twists, and if we've learned anything from this dumpster fire of a year – it's that resiliency rules. And at the heart of resiliency is your ability to actually set goals you will stick with, define your path, be adaptable and make changes based on the needs and desires of your ideal customer at any given moment. Keeping your finger on the pulse of those you are serving, staying motivated and being a strategic goal setter will set you on the path to success in big ways – no matter what gets thrown at you. And today's guest Robin Walker of Women's Business Workshop (.com) is here to show you the way, to teach you how you can stay motivated and on top of your goals. She's here to tell you to NOT throw away your annual planner just yet, that 2020 has actually taught us a bunch and how we can use this knowledge to make 2021 a massive success. I loved chatting with Robin, and I think if you're feeling a little wary of what 2021 might throw your way, this is just the episode for you. I'm so excited to help you prep for the year ahead. 2021 here we come, let's dig in to this week's episode! In this episode, Robyn talks about: How real life experiences of being a mom and struggling with balance inspired her work to share productivity tips and motivation hacks. 5:36What to try when you lack motivation and stay motivated (Hint: it isn’t more coffee). 6:54Breaking down daunting activities into bite sized pieces and avoiding costly distractions. 8:17The top motivations suckers and how to get unstuck when you get caught up in them. 11:33How having multiple action steps and to-do’s to pick from can help you keep moving the needle a head… even when you don’t feel like it. 13:29 Time audits and why you need to do one and how it well help you plan out your week to be most productive. 15:09Goal setting in pandemic times (yes you can!). 23:11Strategies for quarterly planning. 25.32How to plan around unpredictability. 27:17Why now is the best time to revisit the needs of your ideal client and readjust as needed. 29:31 Try to start training yourself to focus on one thing. Pick one thing you will work on today that will take you less than an hour, write it on a post it and put it on a laptop and put away you big list.Robyn Walker I loved chatting with Robin. I think she does an amazing job taking the scary out of goal setting, and keeping it simple. Sit down and figure out where you want to be at the end of 2021, personally and professionally and back pedal from there to figure out the exact steps it will require. Then, figure out what you need to do that quarter, month, week, and day to get there. Give yourself nuggets, 15-20 minute tasks to accomplish. Tell yourself you just need to do the thing you dread for 5 minutes. Grab an accountability partner to hold your shoes or fancy bottle of champagne. Pay attention to the needs of your customer and be strategic with your goals. When you know where you are heading, why you are heading there, and what you need to do to get there – everything seems so much less daunting. When you have your vision, you have a purpose. When you have a purpose you will have intention, and that’s where the real motivation comes in. And this relates to every aspect of life. So, dont be afraid to dream. Dont be afraid to fail. Just start because it is from there that you are truly able to learn and grow. If you dont start, well, learning and growing arent an option for you. So, here is your permission to dream ridiculously big in 2021. And, as always thank you again so much for joining me for yet another episode of the workshop weekly podcast. I hoped you learned a whole lot and you are left feeling motivated to tackle whatever 2021 tosses your way. I dont know about you, but I feel like after living through 2020 we can handle just about anything life throws at us.

A veteran investigative reporter and author of Desperados, the basis for Michael Mann's NBC miniseries Drug Wars, Shannon has written a riveting account of the career and eventual downfall of Paul Calder LeRoux. A new kind of outlaw, LeRoux used encrypted mobile devices, cloud sharing, and other digital tools to build a global criminal network. This Cartel 4.0 raked in hundreds of millions of dollars by selling arms, drugs, chemicals, and more. But LeRoux met his match with a team of DEA operatives as willing as he to use unorthodox methods. With the suspense of a thriller, Shannon chronicles the five years it took the 960 Group to bring down their quarry. Shannon is in conversation with Karen Tumulty, columnist for The Washington Post.https://www.politics-prose.com/book/9780062859136Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We'll be the first to admit that the Most Useful Podcast Ever doesn't pursue a lot of hard-hitting journalism, but that's ok, because this week's guest, Elaine Shannon, certainly does. She came upon the story of criminal mastermind Paul Leroux while tracking the drug trade in Afghanistan, and eventually wrote a book—Hunting LeRoux: The Inside Story of the DEA Takedown of a Criminal Genius and His Empire—with the help of the DEA agents who took him down (two of whom also joined us for this week's podcast). Also on this episode: Sinks and toilets, sawdust, and the Houston rodeo.
