Akshay Kothari is Co-Founder at Notion, one of the fastest-growing companies of the last decade. Akshay has run every function in the company from sales, to marketing to finance and even led their fundraising efforts raising $340M+ from Sequoia, Index and Coatue with the latest round pricing them at $10BN. Before Notion, Akshay was VP Product at Linkedin for 5+ years, leading all of their content efforts. He joined LinkedIn when his previous company, Pulse, was acquired by LinkedIn in 2013. In Today's Episode with Akshay Kothari We Discuss: 1. Founder Mode, Veto Powers and Focus: Does Akshay agree with "founder mode"? What are the biggest downsides to founder mode that not enough people are discussing? Why does Akshay believe that the single greatest power of a founder is their "veto power"? What is the biggest opportunity that Notion jumped on that they should not have done? What is the biggest opportunity that Notion did not jump on that they should have jumped on? 2. Raising $50M @ $2BN Valuation: Why did Ivan and Akshay decide to do this raise when they did not even need the money? How did the fundraising process for this round go? Why did they choose Coatue and Index? Why did Sequoia say no to this round? With the benefit of hindsight, what does Akshay wish that they had done differently? 3. Raising $270M @ $10BN Valuation: How did Sequoia come back into the frame with this round? Why did they say yes here when they did not before? Why does Akshay believe that of all the investor brands, Sequoia is the most powerful? In what way does having Sequoia as an investor change the trajectory of the company? Is Akshay concerned about how he will be able to scale into the $10BN valuation? How does Akshay address the challenge of bringing new team members in with stock options priced at $10BN? How much of a blocker is that? 4. Boards and Social Media are F*******: How is the way in which boards are constructed broken? How does Akshay believe that boards should be constructed? What roles should founders hire for in their board members? Why is Akshay most concerned about the "Tiktokification of everything"? Why does Akshay believe that social media has never been more concerning?

On today's episode, we'll talk about stepping beyond the struggle In a way, this podcast is not just a message to those of you who are struggling, but it's also a message to my former self. It's the advice I wish someone shared with me when I was struggling. It's the advice I wish I had when I went through so many dark times. My struggle was my weight. Like most of you... for 25 years, that struggle occupied my life. It caused me lots of emotional pain, physical pain with crazy exercise protocols, tears,  break up, missed relationship, the struggle of my body and weight caused a lot of drama in my life. And for 25 years, I believed that the only way to stop the struggle to get over that pain was to lose weight. Some say... but you did lose weight. Yes, I did multiple times but here's where it gets really crazy... when I did lose weight, you'd think struggle would be over right? No, it didn't. Instead, I just moved on to the next expression of the problem: saggy skin, soft skin on my belly, I'm still not thin enough for a partner to desire my body... I was addicted to the weight problem... I was addicted to the drama it created in my life. So, what did I do to step beyond the struggle? That what we will explore in today's podcast. What you'll learn listening to this episode: What is Diet Brain and how it plays within your struggle How we get addicted to the problem at the center of our struggle The importance of your mind in stepping beyond the struggle How to step beyond the struggle Mindset Model First model: become aware of your thought Second model: reframe-change your thought T: What is the trigger? What event typically or currently trigger the negative body self-talk? T: What am I saying to myself in this situation? What are my thoughts? Before reframing... F: How does this thinking make me feel? A: How am I reacting (or wanting to react) behaviorally to this experience? What will be my new way of thinking about this trigger? New thinking, new choices, new decision.   Mentioned on the show: Academy Scholarship application Academy registration for Fall 2019 Get Started with our FREE Intuitive Eating Introduction Course

In this episode of Fearless Rebelle Radio, I chat with Sarah Knight – author of the national best-selling book The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a F – on how to stop spending time you don't have, with people you don't like, doing things you don't want to do. In this episode, we chat about: • Sarah's formula to stop giving your F's away to things that are wasting your time, energy and money • Why getting rid of F's helped Sarah to be more enlightened and how you can have that too • The two-step process to help you stop giving a F • How to stop giving a F without being an jerk • Is it selfish to not give a F? • Why no longer giving a F about having a bikini body was the best F Sarah stopped giving • How to get over the guilt, shame and anxiety that holds us back from saying no to people and things we don't want to do • Why the most important thing to stop giving a F about is other people's opinions • Plus so much more!

I heard you're going back to Indonesia! M: Yeah, for my sister's wedding. F: Wow, congratulations to her! How long are you going to be there? M: Pretty long. About three weeks. Since it's my sister's wedding, I have to help with preparations for the ceremonies as well. F: Ceremonies? As in more than one? M: Yeah. In Indonesia, just like in Japan, usually there are two parts to a wedding: the ceremony and the reception. But besides them, there are also some traditional pre-ceremonies. And it depends on the region of the bride and groom. F: What do you mean by pre-ceremonies? M: Indonesia is divided into provinces, and each province has its own specific culture, including wedding traditions. So usually there are special ceremonies before the wedding. F: What if the bride and groom come from different provinces? Is that possible? M: Yeah, it's possible. When that happens, it depends on the agreement between the two families. Sometimes they decide on one culture, and sometimes they do all the ceremonies from both provinces. F: That's interesting! What about the dresses? M: Oh, you'll love it! Just like wedding traditions, clothing also varies depending on the province. Most of them are really colorful and gorgeous. F: I really want to see them. Make sure you take a lot of photos! M: I will! Well, I have to go now. I'm leaving really early tomorrow morning. F: How long does it take to go to Indonesia? M: It takes about 7 hours from Osaka to Jakarta. And after that I have to take another domestic flight to my hometown… Bye-bye then. See you later. F: Good bye, have a safe flight! (Written by Armafitriani Zaitoon) 2. やさしい英語会話 (155) An Interesting Russian City W: So, what would you like to know about Tomsk? M: Anything, really. But mostly, are there any cool places to go to? W: Of course there are! Tomsk is a pretty unique place, man, with its wooden architecture dominating the city centre. And there are tons of universities, so one out of five people in the whole city is a student! M: I see! W: However, I have a particular fondness for a place called "2 plus Koo". M: Knowing you, it's probably a bar, right? Or a game center? Or both! W: Wrong! It's a theatre. Though I can tell you a few things about bars and game centers in Tomsk! M: No, thanks. So, what about that theatre? W: First of all, it's extremely hard to find. They have a special "on-line journey" section on their website to help potential visitors. Of course, they have a map too, but that's not quite as useful. M: An obscure location is a good sign for an art object, isn't it? W: Yeah. Next, the theatre's building is shaped like a huge log hut, or "izba", as we call it. M: A log hut? Nice! I guess it helps to create a theater atmosphere? Does it also keep you warm in winter? W: Better than anything else! Last but not least, listen to this: all the actors in the theatre are robot dolls, controlled by a computer. M: Err, what? W: The owner of "2 plus Koo" is a graduate of Tomsk Polytechnic University. He's an engineer of robotics by vocation. After working for the State Puppet Theatre, he decided to create his own theater. He made all of the dolls, their costumes, music, controlling programmes, everything! M: Wow, unbelievable! I definitely wanna go there. How far away is Tomsk from Saijo, again? W: Um… About 3,500 kilometers or so. A piece of cake, right?! (Written by Dmitry Mamchur) 3. やさしい英語会話 (148) Would You Have Any Thongs? Scene: In a beach store in Australia. The shopper is a British woman. M: G'day mate! W: Good morning. How are you? M: Can I help you, mate? W: Would you have any sandals? I'm looking for a pair for the beach. M: Oh, thongs? W: No, no. SANDALS. M: OK. Thongs are around the corner. Can you see? Over there. Next to the surfboards. W: Excuse me, sir. I would like sandals, please. M: Yeah, mate. They're over there. W: Oh, don't poke fun at me! M: The thongs in my shop are beautiful, mate. Do you want to try them on now? W: No, no, never. I just want sandals for the beach. M: OK, I'll bring them. What colour do you like, mate? W: I like orange. Oh, come on, sir. Do not bring them here. M: Here you go. Nice, inexpensive thongs. W: Oh, really? But thongs mean "women's knickers" or "men's underwear" in England. So I just thought you were crazy! M: No worries, mate. In Australia, thongs are flip-flops. Do you like them, mate? W: Yes, of course. Oh, I'm going to make other mistakes while I'm here! What should I do? Would you have an Australian slang book? M: Bloody oath. Australian slang is unique. She'll be right, mate. W: Indeed. Thank you, sir. Bye. M: See ya. (Written by Helen Needs) 4. やさしい英語会話 (65) Tipping W: Dinner was lovely, dear. Happy Anniversary. M: "Happy Anniversary" is what I'd like to say, except the service here was terrible. W: Oh, come now, dear. Don't spoil the evening with your disappointments. It wasn't that bad. M: I'm sorry, but they expect us to tip them every time we eat here. And the quality of the service never gets better. W: Well, tipping is necessary. They only make about 3 dollars an hour, you know. They live on their tips. M: Well, they should do a better job earning it. If I knew that I could only eat tonight based on my tips, I'd have gone as far as giving the customers complimentary massages! W: Now, don't exaggerate. How would you feel if, while you were eating, someone just came up to you and gave you a massage? M: I don't know, but if he does in the next few minutes I'll let you know. W: So, tell me what went wrong with the service tonight. Give me a list and we'll deduct it from the 20 percent we're supposed to give. M: OK. The bill was 75 dollars, so 20 percent of that would be 15 bucks. Our table was still dirty when he seated us. So that's 2 bucks off. Next, was the fact he brought us the wrong wine: 3 dollars off. He mixed up our orders with another table: 5 dollars! And, ruining your anniversary surprise: I told him to put the ring in your slice of cake and he puts it in mine! I think that's worth 4.99 off. W: Well, that leaves him with a penny. That's a bit unfair, don't you think? It's our anniversary night; don't spoil it by ruining someone else's. M: Alright. He's lucky that I might get lucky tonight. (He gives her a sexy look.) W: Nobody says that anymore. Maybe I should start deducting YOUR tip, huh? M: Oh oh... (Written by Tijan Nicholson)

W: Oh, don't poke fun at me! M: The thongs in my shop are beautiful, mate. Do you want to try them on now? W: No, no, never. I just want sandals for the beach. M: OK, I'll bring them. What colour do you like, mate? W: I like orange. Oh, come on, sir. Do not bring them here. M: Here you go. Nice, inexpensive thongs. W: Oh, really? But thongs mean "women's knickers" or "men's underwear" in England. So I just thought you were crazy! M: No worries, mate. In Australia, thongs are flip-flops. Do you like them, mate? W: Yes, of course. Oh, I'm going to make other mistakes while I'm here! What should I do? Would you have an Australian slang book? M: Bloody oath. Australian slang is unique. She'll be right, mate. W: Indeed. Thank you, sir. Bye. M: See ya. (Written by Helen Needs) 4. やさしい英語会話 (65) Tipping W: Dinner was lovely, dear. Happy Anniversary. M: "Happy Anniversary" is what I'd like to say, except the service here was terrible. W: Oh, come now, dear. Don't spoil the evening with your disappointments. It wasn't that bad. M: I'm sorry, but they expect us to tip them every time we eat here. And the quality of the service never gets better. W: Well, tipping is necessary. They only make about 3 dollars an hour, you know. They live on their tips. M: Well, they should do a better job earning it. If I knew that I could only eat tonight based on my tips, I'd have gone as far as giving the customers complimentary massages! W: Now, don't exaggerate. How would you feel if, while you were eating, someone just came up to you and gave you a massage? M: I don't know, but if he does in the next few minutes I'll let you know. W: So, tell me what went wrong with the service tonight. Give me a list and we'll deduct it from the 20 percent we're supposed to give. M: OK. The bill was 75 dollars, so 20 percent of that would be 15 bucks. Our table was still dirty when he seated us. So that's 2 bucks off. Next, was the fact he brought us the wrong wine: 3 dollars off. He mixed up our orders with another table: 5 dollars! And, ruining your anniversary surprise: I told him to put the ring in your slice of cake and he puts it in mine! I think that's worth 4.99 off. W: Well, that leaves him with a penny. That's a bit unfair, don't you think? It's our anniversary night; don't spoil it by ruining someone else's. M: Alright. He's lucky that I might get lucky tonight. (He gives her a sexy look.) W: Nobody says that anymore. Maybe I should start deducting YOUR tip, huh? M: Oh oh... (Written by Tijan Nicholson)

今回の「やさしい英語会話」のテーマは「結婚式」。 結婚式にはその国や地域の文化が反映しているので、いろんな国の結婚式を比べてみるのは楽しいものです。会話に登場するインドネシア人の男性は、もうすぐ女きょうだいの結婚式に出席するそうです。様々な言語や文化をもつ国・インドネシアの結婚式は、日本の結婚式とどのような違いがあるのでしょうか。 Image credit: Via Public Domain Pictures Public Domain. ※パソコンのブラウザでお聞きの方は、下に表示されている緑色のプレーヤーで、セクション単位での頭出し・巻き戻しができるようになりました。 （オープニング→スロースピードの会話→解説→ナチュラルスピードの会話→エンディング） Download MP3 スマートフォン用（テスト中） （13:30　6.8MB　初級）*** It's a Good Expression *** （今回の重要表現） besides = それに加えて（in addition, also） to be divided into provinces = 州に分かれている to vary = 様々である Make sure you 〜 = 必ず〜してください *** Script *** (Slow speed) 03:30-05:45 (Natural speed) 09:00-10:45 Cross-cultural Weddings F: Hey! I heard you're going back to Indonesia! M: Yeah, for my sister's wedding. F: Wow, congratulations to her! How long are you going to be there? M: Pretty long. About three weeks. Since it's my sister's wedding, I have to help with preparations for the ceremonies as well. F: Ceremonies? As in more than one? M: Yeah.

And it depends on the region of the bride and groom. F: What do you mean by pre-ceremonies? M: Indonesia is divided into provinces, and each province has its own specific culture, including wedding traditions. So usually there are special ceremonies before the wedding.

Sometimes they decide on one culture, and sometimes they do all the ceremonies from both provinces. F: That's interesting! What about the dresses? M: Oh, you'll love it!

今回は、日本での留学生活を終えて本国に帰国する外国人学生のお話です。 留学を終えて帰国準備をする学生は、留学を終えた達成感と、友人と会えなくなる寂しさが交錯する中で、帰国のためのさまざまな手続きに追われて大変そうです。もし留学生の友人がいたら、少しでも帰国の準備を手伝ってあげたいものですね。 今回お借りした素材 写真（成田空港）：Wikipedia Download MP3 （13:40　7.9MB　初級～中級） *** Script *** F: Hi, Axel! How are your preparations for returning home going? M: Pretty good, I’ve already sent one box home, so I have maybe another two boxes to pack, and the rest I can fit into my suitcases. F: That’s good, I’m going to miss hanging out with you when you go back to Germany. M: Yea, I’m going to miss everyone in Japan as well. (sigh) I still need to go to the university’s Media Center to cancel my Internet subscription, go to the city for some paper work, cancel my phone plan, and a bunch more things to get done. I’d rather be having fun with everyone my last few days here. I also have some essays and presentations due as well as studying for tests. F: That’s true. If you need any help getting anything done, feel free to ask me. The classes I’m taking right now aren’t very hard, so I have lots of free time. M: Really? Thanks. I’ll probably need help canceling everything. F: No problem. So, you’ve been here for 10 months, right? M: Right. It’s been so much fun! I’m definitely going to return to Japan someday, either to work, or just for vacation. F: Sounds good! Make sure when you come back to contact me and we can meet up. M: OK, will do! F: Are you planning on traveling anywhere else in Japan before you go back? M: Maybe, if I have time I’d like to go to Hokkaido. I want to try the seafood there, and get some presents for my family back home. F: How thoughtful of you. I hope you’re able to go to Hokkaido. I’ve actually never been to Hokkaido before, but I hear it’s a nice place to visit. M: Really? Even though you live in Japan? F: Yep, it’s kind of far away, and it’s expensive to travel around. Though a lot of foreigners who come to Japan usually travel around a lot. M: Yea, I’ve already been to Osaka, Kyoto, and Fukuoka. I’d like to go to Okinawa, but I probably won’t be able to. F: Maybe next time you come to Japan you can go there. M: Yep! I can’t wait! (Written by Kimberly Cantrell)
