I discovered a great AI app that you can start using for free and then pay $5.00 per month for an upgrade. This app, Gamma (https://www.aippt.com), allows you to quickly create slide show presentations. And then use the presentation to create a video like the one above.I started with three lines of information, as shown below. I entered these lines into the Gamma app and within a few minutes, Gamma generated a ten-slide presentations that became the basis for the above video.Writer's Block: In Case of an Emergency, Break the GlassThere really is no such thing as writer's block or any other block to getting things done. Blocks only exist if you let them. If you move on, they melt away.As the blue collar comedians, say, “Get ‘er done!” Move on!The text for the video is showcased below. Note how Gamma took three lines and made ten slides with the following extensive content.In case of an emergency, break glass. The truth about writer's block.Writer's block isn't about what you think it is. It's not an immovable barrier, but rather a temporary obstacle that only exists if you allow it to.This presentation explores the reality behind the myth and provides practical solutions to get your creativity flowing again.The Myth of Writer's BlockJerry Jenkins puts it bluntly, writer's block is a myth. No other profession accepts a block as a legitimate reason to stop working. If you wait for motivation or inspiration to strike before writing, you'll be waiting forever.Creativity doesn't appear on demand. What we call writer's block is actually a combination of fear, procrastination, and perfectionism, masquerading as creative stoppage.Rather than accepting blocks, successful writers develop strategies to push through the resistance.Famous writers who struggled and won.Samuel Taylor Coleridge experienced what he called an indefinite, indescribable terror that prevented him from writing for an entire year in 1804.Paul Sylvia, a psychology professor and author on motivation, went nine months without making progress on his own book about motivation.Despite these profound struggles, both men eventually overcame their creative paralysis by fundamentally changing their mindset and establishing new writing habits.What really causes writer's block?This pie chart showcases from Research Insights, a 2024 University of North Florida study.Psychological factors including stress and anxiety. That's the big dark purple pie slice on the right.Next, fear of criticism, the lower, more lavender pie slice.And then perfectionism, which is the next as we rotate around.Procrastination.And then other factors.Two main types of blocks.There are two main types of blocks, plot block and life block.Plot block occurs when story logic stalls. Character or plot feel stuck.This is a craft problem fixable with patience, restructuring, and narrative technique.Life block results from personal issues that can drain creative energy. It can require addressing deeper needs, self-care, mental health support, or lifestyle adjustments.Recognizing your specific block type is a crucial first step to implementing the right solution.Practical hacks to break the block.You can schedule writing. Treat writing like a job. Paul Sylvia committed to two hours daily. No excuses. Consistency builds momentum and trains your brain for creativity.Step two, you can do free writing. Set a timer for 10 to 15 minutes of unfiltered, unedited writing. This bypasses perfectionism and often produces unexpected insights.And you can change the environment. So if one place isn't working, work at a cafe or park or library. Environmental novelty stimulates new neural connections and fresh perspectives.These practical approaches work because they shift focus from outcomes to process, making writing a habitual action rather than a high stakes performance.Embrace fear and imperfection. The best writing is born of humility. That's from mystery writer and thriller writer Dean Kuntz.Fear is natural and justified. Embrace it as a motivation.Perfectionism kills progress. Done is better than perfect.Writing imperfectly today creates a foundation for better writing.The most prolific writers aren't fearless. They've simply learned to write despite their fears.The power of mindset.Move on and melt the block. Blocks only exist if you let them. Writer's block is a construct we create and maintain.Recognize it as a temporary state, not a permanent condition. As the blue-collar comedians say, get 'er done. Simple forward motion is often the best solution. Action creates its own momentum.An act of faith: Writing requires belief in your ability to figure it out as you go. Trust the process and keep moving forward.Your mindset determines whether obstacles become barriers or stepping stones. Choose to see blocks as temporary challenges rather than immovable obstacles.Motivation is not a gift, it's a choice. Waiting for motivation is like waiting for a bus that may never come. You have to start walking.Here's the motivation equation.Traditional belief: motivation inspires action, which inspires results.The reality: action inspires results, which increases motivation.Motivation is generated by the act of writing itself. The more you write, the more you want to write. Start small, but start today.Your emergency glass, smash it and write.The world needs your story, so get ‘er done.Writer's block is a temporary illusion. It dissolves the moment you decide to move forward despite uncertainty, fear, or imperfection.Your words matter. Break the glass, pick up your pen, and start writing right now.Book Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Stop Working on Your Life (Do This Instead) August 21, 2025 | Episode - 5164 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott shares wisdom from an unexpected roadside conversation during his North Carolina motorcycle trip. When a young rider asked for life advice, Scott delivered three game-changing insights that'll flip your perspective on personal growth. This episode tackles the biggest mistake people make when trying to improve their lives. You'll discover why working harder isn't the answer and how focusing on less actually gets you more of what you want. Featured Story During a motorcycle stop in North Carolina, a 25-year-old rider approached Scott with a simple question: "I'm working on my life. Do you have any advice?" What followed was an impromptu coaching session that revealed three powerful principles for real transformation. Scott's response surprised the young man and challenged everything he thought he knew about self-improvement. The conversation covered why most people stay stuck and the counterintuitive approach that actually works. Important Points Stop working on your life and start working on yourself—you are both the problem and the solution. Embrace doing what you love even when you hate parts of the process, because meaningful achievements require effort. Apply the 80/20 principle by eliminating busy work to focus on the 20% that truly moves your life forward. Memorable Quotes "You are the biggest roadblock you've ever known. You can't block me anywhere near as good as I can block me." "Everything you want external to you, internal to you, everything you want around you comes when you start working on yourself." "More is on the other side of less. It's impossible for you to get everything you want at the same time." Scott's Three-Step Approach Get specific about what you want instead of asking generic questions that get generic answers. Dedicate time daily to working on yourself through learning, reading, meditation, or reflection. Eliminate 80% of your current busy activities to focus on the 20% that truly serves your goals.

This episode centers on the spaces in life—the in-betweens, the waiting, the stretches where nothing seems to be happening. Instead of rushing past them, the conversation calls us to embrace the space. Just as God created the expanse between heaven and earth, or Jesus paused before responding to challenges, there's divine intention in the pauses we often resist.The discussion highlights how uncomfortable silence, waiting seasons, and gaps in clarity are not empty—they're forming something. It's in the space where God matures faith, reshapes perspective, and breaks us out of the constant need for instant answers. When we fill every gap with noise or distraction, we miss the chance to actually hear God.Listeners are challenged to lean into those pauses rather than despise them. The space is not absence—it's preparation. By embracing the space, we learn to trust God beyond our timelines, to quiet our striving, and to let Him shape us in ways only stillness can. The pause isn't punishment; it's process. Get full access to REDIN30 at redin30.substack.com/subscribe

Dr. Klaus Kleinfeld – the only person to serve as CEO of two Fortune 500 companies on different continents (Alcoa in the US, Siemens in Germany), global advisor, founder of K2 Elevation, angel investor, and author of Leading to Thrive. First Dollars & Early Hustle: At 12, worked illegally at a supermarket in Germany, later launched a Santa Claus business delivering gifts (and family messages!) on Christmas Eve. Early work taught the value of money, the realities of management at all levels, and why people must create and be paid for value. Mindset Developed by Adversity: Father died at age 10, grew up with a strong sense of self-reliance and urgency to earn. Immigrant family background; learned that “money is freedom” and that every dollar earned created options. Time spent with East German relatives instilled the lesson that money only matters if it can actually buy value. Spiritual & Emotional Energy: Foundation in faith (Protestant roots) was a crucial “anchor” through hard times and later in life. Dr. Kleinfeld's new book, Leading to Thrive, stresses the four types of energy: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Advocates for not shying away from love, gratitude, and faith even in the corporate world—even if those topics are often taboo at the boardroom level. Career Guidance & Advancement: Career wasn't about status, but about maximizing freedom and value creation. The path to more money: “Money comes in exchange for creating value—become indispensable and you'll gain negotiating power.” Focus less on salary and more on skill acquisition; become a self-starter and continually improve. Key mantra: “Love it, change it, or leave it.” Life is too short to waste in situations without progress or fulfillment. Overcoming Fear and Stagnation: Don't let fear (False Expectations Appearing Real) keep you “stuck”—analyze the true risks, and realize that most bad outcomes never materialize. Lessons from high performers: It's about energy management (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), not mere time management. Embrace continuous experimentation and agile adjustments—failure is just feedback and learning (Edison paradigm: every failed attempt is progress). Legacy and Regret: Biggest regrets from those at the end of life: not being truer to themselves and not choosing happiness sooner. See happiness as a daily, conscious choice, not something to seek only at the end. Dr. Kleinfeld's Actionable Advice: Focus on increasing your value to others—money follows value. Regularly reassess: “Love it, change it, or leave it.” Invest in managing your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy. Don't let fear dictate your story—break it down and act despite uncertainty. Read and learn from others (“Books condense a lifetime into a few hours—take the shortcut!”).

In this special episode, Gresham Harkless reflects deeply on the concept of starting anew, particularly in light of the uneven success between his digital marketing efforts, which are gaining traction, and his franchise brokering business, which hasn't met expectations.   He emphasizes the difficulty, but necessity of sometimes stopping what's not working and starting anew, while still leveraging the lessons and small wins gained along the way.   Gresham reconnects with the determined, focused attitude he had when first launching his business, locking in despite a lack of support or recognition.   He aims to pivot toward creating meaningful content, nurturing referral relationships, and embracing a new approach that aligns better with his goals.

After years of wanting to write a book, it wasn't until she unplugged from work completely that the right story emerged. From Montana storms to family campfires, Megan shares how storytelling, self-discovery, and seasonality aligned at just the right time to bring this project to life. Key points discussed include: - Unplugging creates clarity: Taking a real break from work and noise can unlock ideas you did not know were waiting. - Let the project find you: When something feels off, it might not be time yet. When something feels right, take action (don't put it off, otherwise it may never happen). - Follow the creative flow: Some projects do not need a plan, just space, trust, and consistent action. - Write your story before your strategy: Sometimes personal truth needs to be told before you can teach others how to find theirs. - Embrace emotional resistance: The parts of a project that feel hardest to write are often the most meaningful. - Make space for your next thing: Restructure your schedule if needed, aligned creative work deserves a seat at the table.

Send us a textWhen a headhunter asked Budd Bentley, "How do you feel about chickens and eggs?" in late 2019, it marked the beginning of a transformative journey. After decades in automotive engineering and technology development, Bentley was about to step into the unfamiliar world of poultry technology as President of PMSI (now Prism Controls).In this revealing conversation with Brandon Mulnix, Bentley shares his unlikely path from solving Rubik's Cubes as a child to leading innovation in agricultural technology. His early career at Prince Corporation taught him a foundational principle: everyone starts on the manufacturing line because "what makes money is when we send product out the door." This grounding in practical operations would shape his leadership philosophy throughout his career.Bentley's entrepreneurial spirit led him to co-found a mobile app development company in 2005—two years before the iPhone existed—where he learned valuable lessons about innovation timing and market readiness. When he eventually joined the poultry technology sector in January 2020 (just before COVID-19 changed everything), he brought fresh eyes to an established company. "I didn't even know what end of the chicken the egg comes out," he jokes, but he recognized the passionate team's potential for growth through process implementation.Under Bentley's leadership, Prism Controls grew from 28 to 44 people while developing crucial new technologies like Reach, Eggsite, and Therm. His secret? "Embrace the process, and the process will set you free." By documenting workflows, separating operational activities from innovation, and implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System framework, the company created a structure that could scale without losing quality or customer focus.As Bentley prepares for his next challenge as President of Big Dutchman USA, he reflects on what makes the agricultural technology sector special: the directness of farmers as customers. "You don't have to spend mental energy thinking about what they really mean or what they're really thinking, because they just tell you," he explains. This refreshing honesty allows technology providers to focus entirely on problem-solving rather than decoding communications.Whether you're new to agricultural technology or a seasoned professional, Bentley's journey offers valuable insights into leadership, process development, and industry transition. Listen now to discover how documenting the invisible can transform organizations and set innovation free.Hosted by Brandon Mulnix - Director of Commercial Accounts - Prism ControlsThe Poultry Leadership Podcast is only possible because of its sponsor, Prism ControlsFind out more about them at www.prismcontrols.com

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – United Nations climate change conferences attract anti-capitalist protestors (below) who want us to believe that capitalism is the root of our environmental troubles.

Ever feel like you're living someone else's timeline? At midlife, many of us realize we've been following imaginary rules that keep us stuck in "fine." Author, poet, and "beauty hunter" Jennifer Pastiloff blew up her "fine" life at 50, leaving her marriage and discovering she'd expanded, not destroyed, her life. Now, Jen opens the pages of her latest bestseller "Proof of Life" to explore how to let go of perfectionism and shame, why curiosity is a lifeline, and how embracing the "school of whatever works" can power you forward. We also investigate biggies like: How do you silence your "inner asshole"? What does it mean to stop abandoning yourself for approval? Why are you already proof of your own worthiness? Honest, open, and full of warmth, Jen will inspire you to stop waiting for permission and start living before you “run out of light.” Listen in for a conversation that feels like a late-night chat with a beloved, old friend.
