Why Fasting Improves Your Health!!!!   When you hear the word fasting, what comes to mind?    Am I going to starve?   Is it good for my mental health?   I can't go 20 hours without eating.    I hear you and I have thought all of those very same things.    My guest today is here to calm your fears on all things fasting and help explain how each and every one of you can fast in a way that suits your lifestyle.   My guest today is Dave Asprey, the “Father of Biohacking.” He is the Founder and Chairman of Bulletproof, a three-time New York Times bestselling science author and host of the award-winning podcast Bulletproof Radio.   His newest book, Fast This Way is available now and provides incredible and valuable information on all things fasting and will inspire you to give fasting a second chance or try it out for the first time.   Today, he delivers a masterclass on all things fasting and it's many benefits. We discuss how each of you can fast in a way that suits your lifestyle and how to get started. In addition, he shares how you can also fast from hate and negative thoughts. We also chat about biohacking and more!   Dave's Backstory:   Dave weighed up to 300 pounds in his early 20s. He was famous for being the first one to sell anything over the internet, which is now called the E-commerce. He made $6 million when he was 26. Dave was a co-founder of a part of the company that held Google's first servers, and grew the company to be worth $36 billion on the NASDAQ.   In spite of all the fame and money that he made, he wasn't happy with his life and he always asks himself about why he keeps on making decisions that are against his own interests. He already tried everything to lose weight. He worked out an hour and a half a day, six days a week for 18 months straight on a low fat, low calorie diet, but still, he can't lose weight. That's when he realized he needed to hack it.    Dave started hanging out with people three times his age who were reversing their age and learning their techniques to fix his own biology. Dave was frustrated because he was running that non-profit anti-aging group, and they're only four minutes from Google's headquarters, but they had only one guy from Google to ever attend -- and that was his uncle.    Someone told him that if he did not eat six times a day, he's going to be in starvation mode. His main problem with that idea was that he's afraid of acting like a jerk just because he was hungry. So in 2008, he decided to hire a Shaman and he was dropped off in a cave. He wants no food and no people anywhere around so he's just the only one who's gonna have to deal with that. For Dave, that was a very amazing experience, because that's the first time he's ever done real quality journalism and storytelling.   Topics discussed:   Dave's newest book "Fast This Way"   What is biohacking?   The benefits of intermittent fasting   The importance of investing in energy   How to get started on fasting in a way that's going to be sustainable   The three fasting hacks (black coffee, bulletproof coffee, and probiotic fiber)   The mental health benefits of fasting   The four F words explained (fear, food, “F”, and friend)   The importance of empathy, compassion, and equanimity   Benefits of fasting from negative thoughts   Benefits of fasting from hate and how to do it successfully   Dave's tips on how people can incorporate fasting when they're following some sense of morning routine Takeaways:   Coffee doubles ketone production.   Ketones suppress the hunger hormone called ghrelin and they raise the satiety hormone called CCK.   Fasting means your insulin didn't go up, and it means that your liver didn't have to turn on protein-digesting enzymes.   If you want to improve your biology, you have to have enough energy to run your body and break down cells and build healthy new cells.   The thing about fear is you don't think about fear.   Fasting means training the body to feel safe by going without something. It makes you more powerful in your cells, in your nerves, in your brain, in your heart, in your body, and in your spirit.   The only thing that you do have control over is your spiritual state.   Fasting from hate is the hardest thing to do.   What you eat drives hunger and cravings, depending on what it is.   The very best time to work out is at the end of a fast.

I wonder how close we would be in predicting what the world will look like in the year 2121. With the way things are going, probably not close at all. For Dave's World, Dave brought us some very interesting predictions that were made in the year 1921 regarding 2021. Some were close enough, but other were very wrong. Including 'Flying Policemen'!

Can you buy a note as easy as buying a new case for your phone? This question will be answered in this episode of Noteschool with Joe Varnadore and his special guest, Dave Storton. Dave is a retired police detective and he was the commander of the financial crimes unit. Before he went to Noteschol, Dave did a lot of things such as teaching special driving courses that included off-road driving and search and rescue personnel, fire department, and some civilian classes as well. For Dave, he entered the world of Noteschool because he was looking for something that will help him continue building wealth for himself and his family. Coincidentally, he lives in an area where there are a lot of private investors who want to become passive earners. His peer group is retired law enforcement who are also involved in the real estate business. They have cash on hand that they want to invest but at the same time, they don't want to undergo the ups and downs of the stock market. They are at the time of their lives where they just want to experience a stable cash flow. And Dave was able to offer this stable cash flow to them. In this episode, Dave is going to talk about the deal that he made where he used only private investor money.   Landlords are burning out. Tenants are behind on rent payments. Toilets are backing up.

Introduction Welcome to Let’s Talk Family Enterprise, a podcast that explores the ideas, concepts, and models that best serve Family Enterprise Advisors in supporting their clients.   All views, information, and opinions expressed during this podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of Family Enterprise Exchange or its employees.   Description There is nothing quite like a global pandemic to cause us to pause and think about what really matters in our lives. Ruth Steverlynck sits down with author, coach, world record-breaker, and global resource for CEOs and Family Enterprises, Dave Phillips (dphillips.com), to explore why achieving success in life may not, in and of itself, be enough and practical steps we can take to figure out our authentic life purpose.   Guest bio Dave Phillips, of Phillips Management Inc., is an experienced executive mentor and speaker for high-performance CEOs and business leaders across North America. His work covers topics ranging from the boardroom to the bedroom in some of the most challenging and even troubling areas of the leaders’ lives. Dave not only supports CEOs and business leaders but also their teams to make a greater impact and provide long-term solutions to business leaders. Along with leadership mentoring and speaking engagements, Dave and the Phillips Management team have developed a variety of team-building tools and courses to support corporate teams for a variety of businesses. Regardless of your business size and revenue, the tools and capacity building programs Phillips Management offers will improve business communication and, in the long run, the overall health of the business. For Dave’s full bio, click here.   Key Takeaways [0:27] Ruth introduces fellow Vancouverite Dave Phillips and works down the list for only part of his impressive resume. [5:00] Ruth quotes part of the foreword in Dave’s book, The Three Big Questions. She takes a moment to ask him why taking the time to know, understand and clearly define his overarching life purpose was more transformational than any of his personal or professional accomplishments. [6:00] They discuss the difference between "purposeful" versus "purpose for". Dave shares that the life purpose puzzle has three pieces. [9:28] There have been, since the beginning of humankind, overarching and common characteristics of what it means to be a person of substance and this is agreed upon, regardless of creed. Dave explains that these virtues are our greatest hope for legacy but hardly ever our primary focus. [11:50] Dave shares a story which starts when he broke the world record for the longest water-ski marathon (1300 miles). [20:11] Dave addresses the question, “What’s my purpose?” and the value of finding that deeper sense of self. [22:11] Dave talks about being intentional about who you want to be in life, which may lead to finding a purpose. [23:04] Dave addresses the second question, “What is my mission?” and touches on how we can find what we’re likely good at and may find satisfying. [24:11] Dave touches on the third question, “What is my vision?” [29:27] Dave shares some practical steps to get started if you’re interested in finding more purpose, mission and vision for your life. [34:22] Dave explains how having a clear understanding of what your top three values are may inform more decisions than you would believe. “If you don’t know who you are, you will become the sum of the expectations of those around you.” [36:20] The three categories of values are as follows: identity values, competency values and activity values. Dave breaks down and defines each category. [39:00] Ruth asks Dave to share his advice to advisors: “To be mindful of: The money is not the client.” He takes time to explain exactly what he means as well as how he goes about talking to his clients about it. [44:09] Ruth thanks Dave for coming on to the podcast to share so much of his wisdom and invites listeners to subscribe to the podcast.   Share your thoughts with us at fea@family-enterprise-xchange.com   Mentioned in this episode Let’s Talk Family Enterprise podcast is brought to you by Family Enterprise Xchange.   Dave Phillips The Three Big Questions that Everyone Asks Sooner or Later, by Dave Phillips The Values Game will be made available in the Family Enterprise Exchange Monthly Digest.

In the final half of this two-part series, we find David about to serve 6 years in Federal prison. But this is far from the end of Dave's story - one that will take him on a trip across the border, across the country, and back to prison...two more times.  But this is also a story of redemption: how we find it, how we create it, and how we justify the roles we play to get there. For Dave, it comes with the creation of his first novel, The Jacumba Connection, and reconnection with his family. But redemption never comes easy, and never without a cost.

What’s behind playing gigs around the world, being the booker for an important club, running a record label with a pretty packed release schedule and international roster of artists? For Dave and Paul it’s about hard work, discipline and faith that things will happen. Dave and Paul, in art Abstract Division, have been involved in music for more than a decade over multiple fronts: they DJ, produce, run a record label and their own party. In this chat we talk about what is going on in the scene at the moment due to coronavirus, how social media play a role in music and also how running your own label allows you to focus on the music that you like. And they tell us what matters most to develop your own sound: stepping out of your comfort zone. - Links Abstract Division https://open.spotify.com/artist/6vJQQlRxEwIOVYv2NrmODp https://soundcloud.com/abstractdivision https://www.instagram.com/abstractdivision https://www.facebook.com/abstractdivisionmusic Dynamic Reflection https://dynamicreflection.bandcamp.com/music https://soundcloud.com/dynamic-reflection https://www.facebook.com/pg/DynamicReflection Audiosculpture https://www.facebook.com/pg/audiosculpture https://www.instagram.com/audiosculpture Decode https://www.facebook.com/decode.techno.events https://www.instagram.com/decode.nl Shelter Amsterdam https://soundcloud.com/shelter_amsterdam https://www.facebook.com/shelteradam https://www.instagram.com/shelteramsterdam Home Of Sound Subscribe to our newsletter: bit.ly/HoS_Newsletter All latest links: https://linktr.ee/home_of_sound Subscribe on YouTube: bit.ly/HoSYoutubeSubscribe .

Big Daddy is back and he's got a much younger fiancé with him in this week's episode, "Big Daddy's Little Lady" (s 2, e 6),  of The Golden Girls.

Welcome back to Forget Being Cool. COVID 19 has done weird things to all of us. For Dave and Jon it means making a show again. FBC is back BABY! Lets talk animal crossing PS5 and just keep our minds off this insane world we live in right now.

Is sticking to your Stay-at-Home routine not getting you enough exercise? Lucky for you, there's an app for that! Don't worry about who is making the app. How are Dave and Rod holding up after yet another week of Social Distance and Stay-at-Home-ing? For Dave, there is at least one massive positive from all this, and it's not having to deal with the VA via teleconferencing. For Rod, it's muscle relaxers and being ignored by teenagers. For all of that, whether the reaction to the Coronavirus is too much or too little, what are we really learning about the next time something like this happens?

In this episode, Daniel speaks with his father, the creator of the cod lure - Predator Lures. David Brauman first started playing around with wooden lures around 1985 & at that stage only a handful of people were making wooden lures within Australia  The lures were predominantly developed for the Native fish species of Murray Cod & Yellow Belly, in & around the lower Ovens River, including Lake Mulwala area. His original lures were all made from Western Red cedar with the shape formed using a wood rasp & then sanded by hand to a smooth finish. For Dave it turned into a passion & many hours were spent trying to achieve the shape & more important the wide action & swim depth for a successful lure. It was also time to put a name to the lures – Predator Lures would be the chosen name forward. The current shaped Predator Lures had evolved & before too long he had built a copy lathe which made almost identical lures & production easier. The 90mm wooden lures were manufactured for about 7 years & the 75mm wooden lures for around 4 years, until around 1990. Some of these wooden lures are now sort after by collectors & are sometimes traded on Ebay & various Facebook organisations. The manufacture of Predator lures then had a significant change & went to plastic injection with a smaller sized 75mm lure being added to the range. The change to plastic injection created some new challenges & it did take some time to get a plastic lure to swim with almost the same characteristics as a wooden lure. The swim depth remained very similar at around 2.5 – 4mtrs depending line size, type & if trolling the distance from the back of the boat. Today Predator lures have a great following among many anglers & is not uncommon to hear of not only other species of fresh water fish but some salt water species being caught also Predator Lures are proudly Australian manufactured & assembled (including packaging). Only components not available in Australia are purchased offshore.

Ashley has a major gap in her knowledge of American history, and it is shaped like the modernist Watergate Hotel in Washington DC. This week, Dave’s pick, ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN (1976) seeks to fill that gap with intrigue, secret parking lot meetings, inappropriate nicknames for anonymous sources, and a whole lot of phone calls. For Dave this is a flashback to film school and one of his favorite screenwriting books by William Goldman. A good time for all involved, except perhaps the US democracy and Richard Nixon.

Good People,On this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Mr. David Fragioni, who is a drumming aficionado and has found a way to support himself through his art. He started playing drums at the age of 2, which was the same age that he was diagnosed with retinoblastoma and lost his eye. Still, he pushed through all of his struggles, nurtured his talents, delved into business, and discovered his strengths along the way. David takes us through his journey, sharing his personal and professional truths, as one always leads into the other. He discusses the importance of nurturing your talents and focusing on what will help you grow to be who you’re supposed to be in the world, rather than focusing on the deafening outside noise that can derail your journey. Now, David works in music technology with world-famous musicians, including Aerosmith, Shakira, The Rolling Stones, etc. He’s consistently focused on how to continue growing and become the greatest at his craft. Host: Dr. Seku GathersGuest: David FragioniResources: David Fragioni – WebsiteDavid Fragioni – FacebookDavid Fragioni - TwitterDavid Fragioni - InstagramCrash by David FragioniAudio One[5:29] Personal & Professional Truths: David combined his personal and professional truth: focus on your strengths inside, not what’s on the outside. Realizing this truth was a major turning point for David. He went his whole life with a prosthetic eye, and this specific breakthrough came when he was able to have some corrective surgery on that eye. Once he began focusing on what was inside, he started taking risks and finding ways to support himself, all while starving the idea that there was something wrong with him. It’s all about how you conduct yourself and the integrity that you bring. [13:25] Focus on Your Strengths: Similarly to his first truth, David learned early on about another truth that would influence his career for the rest of his life. He knew that if he would continue pursuing life as a musician on the road to make a living, very little of his success was up to him. It was up to the lead singer to stay, to the lead guitarist to stick with the band, to everyone to get along on the road and agree on the style of music. With this realization, he knew that maybe that life wasn’t right for him, but he knew in his heart and soul that he needed to find a way to pursue his passion. Through the pursuit of being a better drummer and looking for drum technology solutions, he realized that he loved technology in music just as much as he loved drumming. Pursuing a different type of career in music required him to overcome the challenges of absorbing other people’s external perceptions of you, and instead focus on your internal strengths. [33:14] What it Takes to be the Greatest: It takes 10,000 hours to master anything, and those 10,000 hours of dedication must be consistent. For Dave, he understood his success as consistency. Rather than focusing on working with an amazing artist at some point during the year, he focuses on the fact that he’s done it for 15 years straight, and he’s found a formula that works for him. This is how Dave perceives the path to greatness: it’s not a moment, it’s a life of consistency. [35:54] Yes or BS: The drummer is more important than the kit.

Running with an Elite Mindset When Dave Spandorfer was running in college, social entrepreneurship was just stepping into the big scene. Brands like Toms were finding ways to give back to the community, and care about something other than their shareholders wallets, while still staying a successful, for-profit company. Since that time, we have seen a multitude of companies who’ve had success making a profit, while focusing on a cause. Today, it’s almost expected that every big company have a story and a purpose—something more than just pure profit. For Dave, it was all centered around running. He wanted to create a community within the running world that used running as a way to explore the world. He also wanted to give back to those parts of the world he explored. And of course, he wanted a pair of running shorts that weren’t the exact same as everyone else. Together with his running teammate Mike, Dave began the journey of creating Janji, a new running-attire company, with the goal of inspiring people to understand the world more, connecting runners with others, and providing life’s most precious commodity to more people everywhere. Run to Learn We have recently discussed how running is a great way to travel and explore. Whether you are running down newly-paved neighborhoods, taking in breath-taking views in nature, learning about a new city on foot, or dedicating a trip to a race, running provides a unique perspective on the world. Something about seeing buildings, people, and landscapes while running brings you closer to the world than a television, a phone or a car can. The smells, the sounds, and the sights become much more real. Running is a wonderful way to learn about the world, and Dave’s goal was to share that truth with the world in an even bigger way. At Janji, each clothing line is paired with a country. Twice a year, they find local artists to help create new designs for their shorts and tops. These artists then have a chance to share a little bit about their country and culture in the design of the clothing. Run to Connect We all know how close knit the running world is. Try going for a morning run in a new city, a place where you don’t know anyone, and it will be a challenge to not get a few smiles, waves, or good mornings from runners headed the opposite direction. Something about this global sport connects people before they really even meet. At Janji, they work to connect others through running by organizing travel expeditions and teaching their customers about new parts of the world. If finding a smiling runner who was willing to talk about their run with you wasn’t easy enough, they literally put you on a path with like-minded runner/travelers. Next time you run in a new spot, or see a new runner, give them a wave and a hello. They will love it and so will you. And hey, you just might meet a new best friend. Run to Give Back Janji, which means promise in Malay, works with each of the countries it creates product lines with to create more access to clean water. Water is the most important resource, and is often on the mind of the runner. When Dave and Mike ran on a blisteringly hot day during a college championship race, they knew that water had to be their choice for how to give back. Each of us have daily decisions about how we can support social causes. Luckily for the majority of us, it doesn’t have to come by learning how to create clean water for others. Simply doing a little bit of research on the products we purchase and spreading the word when we find people involved in good causes can make a difference. Our small voices and simple decisions are powerful as they spread. What Can Running Do For YOU? So, here’s the never-ending pitch for why you should run: Running will give more to you than you can ever give to it. Sure, you may sweat, stink, get sore, and run out of breath, but the rewards are endless. A community, a healthy body, and vehicle for learning and exploring, a way to give back. These are just a few reasons to get out the door and run.   Resources: Janji Janji on Instagram Janji on Twitter Janji on Facebook Chris McDougall’s Website   Thank you to Bodyhealth, MetPro, and Janji for being the wonderful sponsors of this episode of The Running For Real Podcast.   If you are struggling to recover quick enough from your training, my little secret is to use BodyHealth Perfect Amino to get you there.

Final Fantasy XIV's latest expansion, Shadowbringers, has finally entered early access for everyone who pre-ordered it. For Dave and Mark, this means it has effectively been released. They talk at length about first impressions with the new content. Including the new jobs, changes to existing jobs, the trust system, and the expansive new world: The First.

Today we have a story that’s different than the norm. We’re going to get to know Dave Warnock, former pastor and member of a charismatic evangelical Pentecostal church who is shunned by his children. But the story is bigger than that. Dave has been diagnosed in the last few months with ALS, sometimes commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and he knows that he only has a finite time left in his life. This is truly inspiring story and we talk about a subject that few want to talk about, death. More than that, we talk about life, as death isn’t as scary as never truly living.

GUEST BIO: Dave is a Software Developer who has been building web applications since using HTML tables for layout started to go out of style.  A background in classical design and computer systems technology has enabled him to roam between the worlds of design and development.  Dave hails from Ottawa, Canada where he works remotely for Test Double. EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Phil’s guest on today’s show is Dave Mosher.  He has a background in classic design and computer systems technology. Today, he works remotely for Test Double as a Software Developer. Dave has also held this position at Shopify and Pillar Technology. For several years, he ran his own consulting company DAVEMO. He specializes in producing high-performance front-end web architecture and is currently working on getting more deeply involved in coaching and mentoring. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (1.04) – So Dave, can I ask you to expand on that intro and tell us a little bit more about yourself? Dave started his IT career working as a designer. He started out just working with HTML and CSS. At first, he did a lot of desktop publishing work. But, he soon moved on to development, working with databases. (2.27) - How did you get into Test Double? When did that come about? Dave spent a few years working at a start-up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, doing Python app development on Google App Engine. During that time, he grew a lot and learned to wear lots of hats. That role ended and Dave found himself at a loose end. Around the same time, Kevin Baribeau, a fellow test dabbler, was also under-occupied. He got a job at a consultancy called Pillar Technology. So, Dave applied for a role there too and was hired as a remote consultant. During much of his time with Pillar Technology he worked directly with the guy who hired him, Justin Searls. He also came across Ted Kaufmann while working there. Within about two years, Justin and Ted left Pillar Technology and set up Test Double. Dave ended up working for them as a consultant and later as a full-time employee. It was Justin that helped him to learn TDD, how to write tests and introduced him to the realm of Agile software development. Dave says he learned more in the nine months he worked directly with Justin than he had in the previous five years. (4.53) – Can you please share a unique career tip with the I.T. career audience? Dave’s advice is not to chase technology if you are not happy in your current role. In all likeliness a shiny new piece of technology is not going to solve your problems. If you start chasing after shiny tech it usually ends in disappointment. Ultimately, technology is not really the source of the challenge you are looking for. Solving people’s problems is what brings job satisfaction. You don’t need to be using the latest technology to do that.  Phil asks if he is saying that you need to avoid the shiny penny syndrome. Dave confirms that is the case. Chasing after the latest tech is a trap that a lot of newcomers fall into. They tend to underestimate the human factors of software development. (7.09) – Can you tell us about your worst career moment? And what you learned from that experience. Before joining Double Test full time, Dave took a job with Shopify. He wanted to get away from using JavaScript and learn to use Ruby on Rails. Overall, it was a good move. He learned a lot while working there. But, it was also where his worst career moment took place. At the time, he was refactoring their asset pipeline. It was really slow, taking five minutes to run, so Dave re-tooled it. He did a good job and got the run time down to about 20 seconds. So, they rushed his enhancement out to production. That was a mistake, a big one. They ended up taking down the whole of Shopify for about 15 minutes. At the time, there were around 80,000 websites running on the platform, so it was a big deal. This incident taught Dave that if you are making a change to a big platform you need to be especially careful before proceeding. You have to slow things down a bit and vet everything in every possible environment. It is also important to keep your QA and production environments as closely aligned as possible. At the time, Shopify had not succeeded in doing that. Dave and the people he was working with had been lured into a false sense of security. When the enhancement test went green in the QA environment they, understandably, assumed it would work in production. Unfortunately, that is not what happened. (11.10) – What was your best career moment? For Dave, that was when he first started working for Double Test. At the time they were working on a contract for a very large firm. Like most large corporations, the work environment was incredibly restrictive and inflexible. They had lots of standards in place and hoops to jump through. It was impossible to work fast because Dave and his colleagues had virtually no autonomy. However, they did find a way around this. Working with one of the firm’s developers, who did a lot of API work, they were able to build a shim and their own tooling. This enabled them to work in isolation at the front end with the angular piece and JavaScript. That meant that they could work much faster. For everyone involved in coming up with this solution it was a great technical triumph. But, Dave took the most pleasure from the fact that they had been able to help the team lead they were working with to gain confidence and excel. They invested a lot of time and energy into coaching him and giving him personal encouragement. This included teaching him people skills, for example, how to avoid confrontations and not become defensive. By the end of their time together he was a completely different person. So much so that he actually said “you guys changed my life.” (13.50) – Can you tell us what excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers? The fact that the barrier to entry has been lowered significantly really excites Dave. Code boot camps are making the field of IT a lot more accessible. In particular those boot camps that have structured their courses so that you do not necessarily have to pay your tuition fees up front. Dave has also been involved in producing educational resources. He took what he was doing at work and replicated the processes via screencasts so that he could help and educate other people. It was wildly successful and Dave found that putting together the lessons helped to solidify his knowledge. So, the benefits were twofold. Both parties benefited. He has noticed that a lot more people are starting to do share their knowledge, recently, something he is very pleased to see. (17.10) – What drew you to a career in IT? Dave drifted into IT through design. But, to get involved in the back end he had to go back to school and complete a Computer Systems Technology diploma. It was the only way he could go from being a starving artist, so to speak, to making some real money. (17.36) – What is the best career advice you have ever received? That advice came from Justin. He was struggling to convince Dave that test-driven development was the way to go. Dave, like most developers, was used to starting with the code first, then thinking about tests. Justin knew, from experience, that he was right. But, when Dave did not listen he did not continue to badger him. Instead, he let him go his own way and discover the painful way that he was wrong and Justin was right. Test-driven development did work best. This experience taught Dave the value of allowing yourself the freedom to fail. He learned how to use his pain as a motivator. He still remembers how going down the wrong path feels, so stops and thinks more before choosing a course of action. Dave is also more inclined to listen to others than he was when he first started his career. (18.54) – If you were to begin your IT career again, right now, what would you do? Dave says that he would probably spend a lot more time working with relational databases. If you want to specialize, being a database admin, and understanding the nuts and bolts of PostgreSQL or Postgres is a great approach, right now. He would also get a better handle on data modeling. Developers have a tendency to start without the data. As a result, all too often, they end up painting themselves into a corner pretty quickly. (19.56) – What are you currently focusing on in your career? Right now, Dave wants to get more involved with mentoring. He wants to have more of an impact on people’s personal lives. Dave is currently figuring who the people in his community are so that he can make himself available to them and help others to level up. (20.39) – What is the number one non-technical skill that has helped you the most in your IT career? For Dave, that is his musical abilities. He plays piano, drums, bass, and guitar. Dave finds playing to be a good creative outlet and has noticed that there is a lot of crossover between musicality and IT. While playing music, you learn to pick up on patterns and how to improvise. This skill set is useful for IT professionals as well as musicians. Playing music with others sharpens your ability to spot where they are going and follow them or add to what they are doing. These skills are also useful in the workplace. (22.18) – Phil asks Dave to share a final piece of career advice with the audience. Dave’s parting piece of advice is - When you feel it's time to move on, reconsider. Usually, if you are at the end of your rope there will still be something you can do to reframe the engagement in a way that is positive. Adversity provides you with the chance to rise to the challenge and learn. So, when you are struggling, stop, think and see if you can solve the problem without necessarily changing companies. Only move on when you have considered things carefully and determined there is no way to fix the problem. BEST MOMENTS: (1.45) DAVE – "I was drawn to the web via the power of design." (3.05) DAVE – "Don't chase technology would be my number one career tip." (7.08) PHIL – "It's the right technology for the right solution as opposed to a specific technology." (10.45) DAVE – " Take a little bit more time than you think you need and try to vet all of the things that you're working on in every environment possible" (18.33) DAVE – "Allow yourself the freedom to fail." (22.23) DAVE – “When you feel like it's time to move on, reconsider.” CONTACT DAVE: Twitter: https://twitter.com/dmosher LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmosher/ Website: https://blog.davemo.com

Our Thoughts What this podcast was really missing was a better intro. “This is Unstructured.” It didn’t even give me the tagline “Dynamic Informal Conversations” or the host name. You had the curse of knowledge where you knew the guest and jumped write in, but never clued the audience in to who we were talking to.The introduction of the guest was, ““I read her first book a couple of years ago. I read her most recent book last year. This is Sharyl Attkisson.” There are other things the guest had on their resume that would've been very beneficial to the interview. She was a correspondent for CBS News from 1993-2014. Before joining CBS, Attkisson was an anchor and correspondent for CNN (1990-1993). From 1996-2001, in addition to her CBS News duties, Attkisson hosted a half-hour weekly medical news magazine on PBS entitled “HealthWeek. This would have made a better intro.For example, you stated, “you have an amazing past and a really wonderful history. It’s kind of a weird situation because I find you completely brave but at the same time I find it troubling that you’re having journalistic integrity as bravery.” I like the bold question. But we had no idea what you are talking about. If we had a better setup we might have. For Dave, he was preoccupied trying to figure out who this person was to the point that he was having a hard time listening to her answers. There was a really nice discussion on free speech in the middle of the interview. The questions were deep. It was clear he did his research. At the end, we talk about her lawsuit against the government and her podcast. Those sound like great topics. I wish we would have touched on those during the shows. The ending of the show was invisible. With no setup, you played two promos for other podcasts. With a better setup this might make more sense, but you also might consider coming up with a call to action to have people tell a friend and subscribe. If you want your audience to engage with you, you need to ask them to engage. The Website The website had a very clean look with a great contact page and social proof. Dave was curious why there was no “About” page. Also move the searchbox up (don't make people search for the search box) and move the RSS buttons down.

Dave Chase is the author of The CEO’s Guide to Restoring the American Dream and co-founder of Health Rosetta. He was also co-founder & CEO of Avado, a digital health company acquired by & integrated into WebMD & Medscape. He was named one of the most influential people in Digital Health due to his entrepreneurial success, speaking & writing. Chase spent several years outside of healthcare in startups as a founder or in consulting roles with LiveRez.com, MarketLeader, and WhatCounts. He was also on the founding & leadership teams in two $1B+ businesses within Microsoft including their $2 billion healthcare platform business.   Podcast Highlights   Who is Dave Chase? Dave is a congenital optimist but he’s also a straight shooter. The genesis of his journey started out with his career in consulting while working with hospitals. Once he learned of something referred to as Revenue Cycle Management and realized the impact it has had on the middle class, he knew he needed to make a change.   Healthcare has a number of ways to bill for services with plenty of ways to pad the end result. This billing paradigm is responsible for about half the revenue in the industry, roughly $7 trillion.   By the time Dave was 30 he had 10 friends that were his age or younger die, with the last one being an egregious example of healthcare failure. In many ways, the state of the healthcare industry is responsible for the decline in public education quality. The good news about what Dave is working on is that government is not the answer, once people have the hope that the system can be improved, we already have the tools to get it done.   Belief in Healthcare Change Dave knows the secrets of healthcare without being shackled by them. Dave believes that once you see a problem, you are obligated to fix it or you are complicit with it. For Dave’s business the failure scenario is to reach 10 million people and they are already halfway there. Dave went looking for a market gap, and found the greatest heist in American history. Dave works with businesses as small as a single person, the tools you have access to are just a little different from larger businesses. The typical family of four will pay over $20,000 a year for pretty poor healthcare benefits whereas smaller organizations could get coverage for as low as $6,000 a year. You’re in the healthcare business whether you like it or not. From Dave’s experience, there hasn’t been a hospital bill over $5,000 that hasn’t gone out without an error. The most common issue is something called pricing failure which is when there is no connection between what you pay and the value you receive. A lot of the times the places that are most expensive have the poorest quality care. Part of high quality in healthcare is not doing procedures that aren’t necessary. Some of the procedures performed today are going to be seen as lobotomies and bloodletting in the future because they just don’t work. 2% of the entire US economy is squandered and tied up in non-evidence based, non-value add procedures that have no evidence to prove they’re effective at all. How did this happen? If you increase costs by 5% every year, after 20 years, here we are. Healthcare used to be 2% of payroll, now it’s 20% and healthcare is close to a fifth of the economy. This is why employees have had 20 years of wage stagnation, it’s not because employers don’t want to spend the money on their employees but because it’s all going to increased healthcare spending. The underlying costs of healthcare haven’t gone up in the past five years, but premiums and prices have gone up. You can employ more people, better people, and have more profit in your business if you just pay attention to your hea

GUEST BIO: Dave is a computer programmer and was an original signatory and author of The Manifesto For Agile Software Development.  He has also co-authored several books, including “The Pragmatic Programmer”, and was a co-founder of the Pragmatic Bookshelf. EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Dave Thomas is Phil’s guest on today’s show. He is a well-known programmer who works in numerous programming languages, in particular, Elixir, Ruby and agility. Dave is one of the original signatories and author of The Manifesto for Agile Software Development. Over the years, Dave has published several other books and is a trainer. Currently, he is also an Adjunct Professor at the Southern Methodist University. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (0.45) – So, Dave, can you expand on that brief introduction and tell us a little bit more about yourself? Dave says that fundamentally he is a programmer. For the past 45 years he has enjoyed coding and has done it practically every day. Most of the other things, he does really just to make a living. For example, he published more books when things crashed in the early 2000s. Even then, he spent time writing the various bits of infrastructure, he just could not stay away from the code. (3.08) – Are you still involved in the pragmatic? Dave says that about 18 months ago, with Andy’s agreement, he stepped back a bit on the day-to-day stuff. He had other things he wanted to investigate and basically did not have enough time to do so. Right now, he is almost like a Victorian gentleman scientist exploring things on his own. But, he has spent about a year shuttling from one thing to another. He is now focused again. (4.21) – Phil asks Dave to share a unique IT career tip. We work in the fastest changing industry that ever existed, so you need to keep up. You can’t know everything, but you can look at what is coming up and pick a few things that are likely to make it. Then spend a bit of time learning and researching those. (5.20) – A lot of people say my employer does not give me time to do that. Dave’s response is that is not your employer’s job. It is your career - you need to invest in yourself. If you do not, you and your skills will slowly become irrelevant as new technology replaces what you are good at. (6.11) – Dave is asked to share his worst career moment and what he learned from that experience. After 45 years, Dave has understandably had quite a few bad career moments. At least, things that felt bad at the time. But, usually he learned a lot from those situations. So, in the end, many of those experiences turned out to be positive ones. When you are working in such a malleable format it is very easy to mess things up. However, with a bit of discipline and patience, it is also very easy to fix the problem. (7.29) – Phil asks Dave what his best career moment was. Dave explained that, like most people, he has a need to create. So, when he finds his “software expressing me” he gets a lift. A great example of this is the Prestel videotext system, from the 1970s. Dave was involved in writing a front end so that people could find flight availability and book them via travel agents. One day, Dave was walking down a High Street, looked in a travel agents window and saw his software running. Seeing that brought home the fact that what he was doing really was making a difference. (9.53) – Dave explained that whenever he publishes a book, he also goes to a bookstore to see it on the shelf. Seeing a physical manifestation of your work helps you to fully appreciate what you have achieved and is very fulfilling. (11.11) – So, Dave what excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers in IT in particular? For Dave the fact that in IT you are shaping the world, literally. You cannot do much, these days, without IT. We can do great things with IT, which is exciting. In the very near future our coding will become part of the fabric of life. Now we code things that mainly happen via a screen or browser. In the future, our work will become an ambient background to people’s lives. That is a phenomenal responsibility, but incredibly empowering. (13.31) – What first attracted you to a career in IT? When Dave did his A-levels he took them a year earlier, so had no work to do at school. Fortunately, he was not allowed to simply leave. Instead, his school sent him across the road to take the first-ever A-level UK programming classes. They were using Basic, with a teletype paper tape punch, but Dave was captivated by the work. He had planned to study math, instead he studies software at university and begun his IT career. (15.31) – What is the best career advice you were given? Dave’s first job was working for a startup. They were asked to produce a coupon compiler, by a client. The director of that company had quite a bit of technical understanding, but there were some important gaps in his knowledge. So, at some point in the meeting Dave said – “No, you’re wrong. That’s not right” blah, blah. There was a deathly silence. At which point his boss stepped in and moved things along. Afterward the meeting he apologized. But, his boss said “No it’s OK, you did the right thing, just not in the right way.” That incident stayed with him. It made Dave realize that we should not be saying yes all the time. Instead, we have to find a way of saying no without putting people’s backs up. (16.43) – If you were to start your IT career again, right now, what would you do? Dave replied “It depends”, but he would probably not go to college or university. Instead, he would look for a company that ran a good apprenticeship scheme and join. He would then spend 5 to 10 years flitting across different areas. At that point, he would reflect on those years and work out the thing that he enjoyed the most and work in that field. Phil agreed that was a good approach. People tend to forget that taking a job is not a lifetime commitment. In the early days, it is probably only an 18-month commitment. Nobody expects any more from you, so it makes sense to take advantage of that fact and move around until you find something you love doing. (19.15) – Phil asks Dave what he is currently focusing on for his career. Dave says “changing the world”, kind of. Right now, he has two main aims. Firstly, he wants to encapsulate and share what he has learned. He is on the board of a company that teaches genuine software skills to 8 to 14-year-olds. These days, coding literacy is as important as any foreign language. The other objective is to simplify software development. Things do not have to be anywhere near as complicated as they are now. Dave believes we can make software development far easier and is working on doing exactly that. (21.25) – What is the number one non-technical skill that has helped you the most in your IT career? Dave says that enjoying learning has helped him tremendously. Being able to move across industries and learn your client’s jobs, how they work and what their problems are all helps you to build software that solves the real problem, rather than just meeting the spec. (22.46) – Phil asks Dave to share a final piece of career advice. Dave says that you need to “remember to make it fun.” You need to look forward to going to work, at least most of the time. If you feel that way you will do a good job. BEST MOMENTS: (3.06) DAVE – “You just can't keep me away from the code.” (3.39) DAVE – “I've been almost like a Victorian gentlemen scientist for the last two years, just exploring stuff on my own.” (5.38) DAVE – “The most important tip is to invest in yourself. To keep yourself current, spend some time and a little bit of money on a personal level, just to make sure that you're still relevant.” (7.24) DAVE – “I honestly think it's an important thing to learn that if you break it, you can fix it.” (9.54) PHIL – “I think seeing what you produce in action is self-fulfilling, in some ways.” (13.07) DAVE – “The most exciting thing to look forward to is a future where we can really genuinely make the world better.” CONTACT DAVE THOMAS: Twitter: https://twitter.com/pragdave @pragdave LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-thomas-53aa1057/ Website: https://pragprog.com/

Dave og Fredo er lige gået nummer 1 i England med en single, der er alt andet end poppet. ‘Funky Friday’ er en bouncy, lyrisk magtdemonstration, hvor de to rappere skiftes til at angribe beatet. Det er også en sang, hvor modsætninger mødes. For Dave har et Drake-cosign, og er kendt som en eftertænksom rapper. Fredo er derimod gadens favorit. Så hvad siger det om UK-scenen, at netop den her sang nu er strøget helt til tops? Er scenen domineret af grime, afrotrap, UK drill eller noget helt fjerde? Og hvem er de nye rappere, man skal holde øje med? Det diskuterer vært Kristian Karl med Danijel Drux i det nye afsnit af Standard Ekstra. Danijel Drux har haft en af de første toneangivende danske hiphopblogs, DDS, og har desuden booket UK-navne som Dave, AJ Tracey, Skepta, Krept & Konan og mange flere til Danmark. Han har fingeren på pulsen, og forklarer blandt andet, hvordan UK-scenen er fundamentalt forskellig fra eksempelvis amerikansk hiphop. Derudover spiller vi en række af de mest spændende nye UK-sange, snakker røverhistorier fra den engelske Wireless Festival og hører også om hvorfor, Drux mener at danske Molo snart kommer til at bryde igennem i England. Dette afsnit af Standard er bragt i samarbejde med vores sponsor Spotify.

Are you leveraging the influencers in your organization to communicate the impact of your L&D activities? If you answered no and are intrigued about how to do this, then you will want to hear Dave Atack’s insights on episode 6 of the Learning and Development Stories podcast. Dave, formerly the Head of Learning at D.E. Shaw and the VP of Learning Strategy and Performance at Xerox, shared how he identified a working group of influencers in a previous role to hear their feedback about what onboarding should look like and to mobilize them around a new initiative. These were respected and sought after individuals. According to Dave, these influencers ultimately served as a source of sharing information about the initiative to the new hires and managers. The following are other key points from the interview. Successful Initiative One of Dave’s most profound work experiences was working on a health initiative training for developing nations as part of a consulting project. He and his colleagues worked with some 50 people from these different countries’ health ministries to help them digitize their respective nation’s health systems. A three-day training workshop in Pretoria, South Africa provided the participants with the skills to strengthen their health information systems. Knowledge Transfer One of the key goals of the training in South Africa was to mobilize the workshop participants with the tools to teach their colleagues when they returned to their home countries.  According to Dave, the key to success is realistic practice. “It is important that people have the opportunity to practice the new knowledge and skills in a realistic way so they can then teach others,” he said. “We don’t know what it looks like when they go back to their countries, so during the workshop we try to simulate what they will encounter.” Lessons from Mistakes Sometimes we need to be more skeptical. Dave shared the story of choosing a vendor for a particular system. After selecting a company among hundreds, Dave and his colleagues needed to test the system prior to full implementation. It was during this stage, after a significant amount of time had been invested, that the team learned that this company was facing a dire financial situation and not paying its own employees.  “We ultimately wasted lots of effort in evaluating platform. We should have been more skeptical about their finances. Don’t take things at face value,” Dave said. Tying Learning to Objectives Dave explains: “The purpose of learning is to drive organizational performance. If not, why are we bothering?” For Dave, it starts with sponsors (internal or external). What do they expect? What is success? What do you expect performers to be saying about how learning is making a difference? As an example, he shared how he approached this during the onboarding of new employees.  “We needed to reduce the number of hours managers spend answering the questions of new hires. We also needed to ask managers and new hires if the onboarding was helpful. So it was quantitative and qualitative.” Employee Engagement In Dave’s opinion, it is hard to measure the link between L&D activities and engagement. “My point of view is that there is a link and it is important we try to keep finding it,” he said.  At Xerox, Dave and his colleagues had tools and data to create linkages. They weren’t able to find the link. In part, it wasn’t initially built into the data set. Better planning was required. Marketing Communications In addition to the influencer example highlighted at the outset of this article, Dave also touched on the importance of post-program communications. For example, this has involved collecting data immediately after a program, three months out and then six months out to understand how learning has been implemented and improved an individual’s job. This would be reported to the managers so they could see both the good news and areas for improvement. Resources For a tool, Dave believes that every L&D professional needs to understand machine learning. The tools are not fully developed yet to make this possible yet. But in his words, this is an “untapped gold mine for organizations to get into.” In terms of content, he recommends Wired Magazine (because it provides a broader context around technology) and Harvard Business Review (because one can see L&D issues from a different perspectives).  

So many people dread reading the day's political news. But both Blue Ocean Faith's Dave Schmelzer and longtime Blue Ocean World co-host Val Snekvik can imagine a kind of politics that would encourage them. For Dave, it's a sort of ideal dialogue between conservatism and liberalism. For Val, it's one that values data and problem solving. With that as a starting point, Dave and Val have a freewheeling conversation about topics including Diane Feinstein and machine politics and, in the end, about where to find hope in the political world.

My husband, Dave, has spent the past 15 years transforming his life, moving from "praying for God to take his life" to living a joyful life of being committed to excellence.  He was always good at action, but still he was unable to connect who he knew he was to who he was actually able to BE. While he never felt he had lost his voice, he knew he was living far below his potential, and he was really frustrated. He had been rationalizing his frustration by saying "when I die, then I will be able to live my full potential." Clinging to hope kept him going until he found the piece he was missing.For Dave, the first step to connecting with his power began with fueling his body with good nutrition. He quotes Og Mandino in scroll #2, "when I really love myself, I'll inspect everything that goes into my body." This gave him the stamina on a daily basis to be consistent in his search for the next step, whcih for Dave, was being Open to new ideas--learing principles around the mental side of action. Admittedly, he is naturally "hard to crack," but like T. Harv Eker, he came to a point of deciding whether he wanted to be "really hokey and really rich or really rich and really broke." He was finally at a point where he was ready, and when the student is ready, the teacher appears.Just a few nuggets from this show:"There has to be a drive to be more than who you currently are.""I immersed myself in the thing that I wasn't!""Your number one priority is to figure out how do I start to create that confidence in myself.""Knowing that this life is not all there is. Working toward something greater is what keeps me going. We are eternal in nature, and there are things we can do to invest our time in that will serve us long term. What are those things?"

Before Dave Goodman was the bearded, apron-wearing Coco-Jack inventor and entrepreneur who received a $125,000 deal from Mark Cuban on Shark Tank, he was a rock-and-roll drummer living in New York City.   Following years of training at Juilliard and the Curtis Institute of Music, Dave began his career as a classical pianist, conductor, and composer, going on to start his own orchestra. “Once you start working for yourself, it’s hard to work for other people.”    For Dave, however, “taking time off” meant immersing himself in fields such as economics, neuro-linguistic programming, hypnosis, mythology, and aviation. As part of his health recovery, he also became a raw food vegan and lost over a hundred pounds. “That’s how I discovered Asian coconuts. I put them in smoothies, drank the water—coconuts became a part of my diet.” The only problem was, there was no easy way to open these coconuts. “As a musician, I didn’t want to throw a knife at my fingers all day.”   Find out more about Dave Goodman and the amazing story behind his invention of the Coco-Jack, a safe, easy way to open Fresh Coconuts, no matter what your size or strength.   1:07 - Background on Dave and his current venture, Coco Jack.   3:40 - Dave’s experience as a classical musician and founding the Wild Ginger Philharmonic.   6:20 - Dealing with burnout from the entrepreneurial pursuit of the Wild Ginger Philharmonic and digging into economics and business as a self-study.   10:13 - How Dave sees the cultural idea of the “suffering artist;” connecting economics to his passion for music.   13:24 - How new payment methods can affect the arts and classical music.   15:20 - Dave’s entrepreneurial ventures as a creative outlet.   17:19 - Why he got into coconuts.   20:23 - Finding the niche for an easier way to open coconuts and the massive scale of the market that unfolded.   21:36 - How he got the ideas together, developed the product, and the initial steps for starting the company.   23:31 - Going into a venture without preconceptions and staying open to bringing in help; building brand loyalty through authenticity.   26:19 - Information on Dave’s experience with being on Shark Tank and getting investment money from Mark Cuban.   28:45 - How they’ve been funding the company.   29:59 - Balancing capital between the various expenses in a new business.   32:10 - Advice Dave would give to people developing a product.   33:36 - Where he’s seen the most sales success and how to get to that success; advice for effectively utilizing Facebook ads.   35:38 - The role of design and Dave’s story of developing his logo and brand.   38:00 - Maintaining an understanding about all the aspects of your business while leveraging other people’s skills to complement your own; the art of entrepreneurship.   42:09 - What Dave’s upcoming plans are and his life as a digital nomad; details on how he runs his business.   50:18 - The dangers of planning too much and not doing; constantly learning, growing, and evolving from failures.   57:00 - Being present with your business in order to pivot and let go of ideas at the right times.   1:00:32 - The questionnaire.   1:08:35 - Getting in touch with Dave.       Resources and Links Mentioned:   Coco Jack (Use promo code “Matthew” to get 10% off)   Wild Ginger Philharmonic   The Great Courses   Timothy Taylor   Shark Tank   Mark Cuban   Facebook ads   Isaac Morehouse - Praxis   Contact Dave at jack@coco-jack.com

You may have noticed if you’ve had any big accomplishments, success or wins in your life that it is easy to experience the joy of that moment. But have you ever sat with the joy or gratefulness or satisfaction of the small moments? One of our team members, Adam (who is also the voice you hear on the Intro and Outro of the podcast) just submitted his last assignment for a Masters Degree in Business Administration. It’s a huge accomplishment for him and he sent out a group message to all our team thanking us for supporting and encouraging him. As we congratulated and celebrated with Adam, Jared gave him some really important advice: remember to stop and smell the roses. What he meant was to stop and let the moment wash over him, to stop and sit in that moment. To savour the moment. Maybe you can think of your biggest accomplishments or significant moments: getting a good grade on an assignment you’ve worked really hard on, or being offered a job you really want, or getting married or having kids. It’s easy in these big moments to experience the joy and satisfaction. It’s not only in the big moments that we can experience this joy or satisfaction. It can happen in little moments too. Sometimes we just rush through these moments. We can experience the joy, but skip quickly into the next thing. Or it might feel like a small or insignificant moment compared to the other big things we need to get done that we don’t allow ourselves to experience that small win. We might feel like we don’t deserve to enjoy that little moment because there are other more important things to be concerned with. We can enjoy the everyday interactions: a good class, a quality chat, a scenic drive. These moments are worthy of satisfaction. This might seem contrary to the message we often hear, that to be successful you should never be satisfied. Yet research has shown that high performers do have success because they do savour more. It makes sense that when you’re happier you perform better and it follows that if you perform better you can achieve more. If we keep looking for the massive celebration moments, we can overlook the little moments and miss opportunities to savour. Quick note: savouring and gratitude are different. They are both positive practices. The difference is that gratitude is about looking back or looking forward on a moment to remember or foresee that positivity, as well as being thankful for opportunities and other things in your life. Savouring is about prolonging the positivity of a moment. For example, Dave’s family practice gratitude at dinner time, where Dave, his sons and his wife express thankfulness for something that has happened. Savouring, for Dave in that moment, is sitting with and feeling the warm and fuzzies as his sons share their gratitude right there and then as it is happening. This is really simple to do. For Dave, savouring that moment with his sons doesn’t require him to start meditating but simply to be really present in that moment. To fully allow himself to experience the joy or pride or positivity of hearing what his sons are thankful for. Try not to turn that moment into something bigger, simply give yourself 20 seconds, breath deeply and allow the moment to circulate in you. The long term effects of savouring a moment for just 20 seconds can actually change your brain and rewire it in a way that allows you to be more positive. This leads to greater satisfaction, fulfilment and confidence. It actually becomes easier for your brain to go to a positive place quicker and more easily. Its like when you’re looking for new shoes or a new car - you start noticing that shoe or that car everywhere you look. Your mind becomes more attuned to it. Savouring has the same effect, you become more attuned to positive moments. Your enabled to be more positive. Challenge for this week: set a reminder in your phone to go off every morning that says: “savour the moments”. Let it remind you when you experience a moment of joy to sit with it for just 20 seconds. Follow us at facebook.com/projecthatch and Instagram at @project_hatch.

Without talking about it beforehand, they both decided to share their top three lessons, and, wouldn’t you know it, none of the lessons overlapped. David came at it from a momentum trading angle while Tracey leaned more heavily on her value investing history. For Dave, his first lesson was “Don’t fall on your own sword.” If your strategy isn’t working, get out. Don’t try to convince yourself the market is wrong. Dave discusses Twitter (TWTR) and how it looked like such a great trade when Jack Dorsey came back, but it hasn’t turned out that way. For Tracey, her first lesson was to have “patience.” In 2014, CEO Mary Dillon bought shares of Ulta (ULTA) when it sold off on a weak earnings report. Dillon bought a chunk of shares in March 2014. But in the months afterwards, the shares didn’t do anything. They didn’t pass her buy-in price again until September 2014. In the meantime, Tracey, who bought them in the Insider Trader after Mary bought, held them in the Insider Trader portfolio for all those months as they treaded water. Her patience paid off. It turned out to be a highly lucrative trade, as shares have since soared. Additionally, Tracey and Dave look at Whirlpool (WHR), NeoPhotonics (NPTN), and Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) as further examples of lessons learned from trading including how to trade small caps and why not to follow the herd. Learn from their mistakes and successes. Find out what Tracey and Dave’s think of these, and other trading lessons, in this week’s podcast.

Thanks to GuyCM for leaving a reivew on iTunes! To get your iTunes reviews e-mailed directly to you go to: creativestudio.academy/mypodcastreviews Dave Jackson is from the School of Podcasting. teaches Microsoft Office. He loves to do classroom training, but also does online training. He is the bridge to get others from where they are to where they want to be. The first thing is "Who is your audience?" and "What do they want to know?" Really get to know who that person is "Why am I getting into podcasting?" Are you looking to get your message out? Just for fun? You need to know the why. It's not "build it and they will come." When you start, your audience is small. It will be your "why" that will get you through. After you figure out who your audience is, go find where they are. Google relevant searches. For Dave's Logical Weight Loss podcast, he searched "top fitness apps" and found several forums. That's where he found his audience. He took some time to interact with them and answer questions. How do you prepare for your podcast? Get a system in place to capture your ideas, like Evernote or your voice recorder. It's a 4-to-1 rule with podcasting (1 minute podcast takes 4 minutes). Try not to do the typical interview with a person. Be realistic about how many downloads you'll get. Have a takeaway for your listener - summary of what was covered. What are some steps for each individual episode Dave uses Feedly.com to capture RSS feeds for different blogs. Use Google Alerts to e-mail you results or deliver via RSS. Use social media like Facebook and Twitter to keep current. Create a folder on your computer to collect files and ideas for upcoming episodes. What are some tips for effectively promote? Make content that is WOW! Figure our where your audience is The key is to make friends with them Have your profile figured out - don't leave it blank or default! Business cards - some with basic contact information, some with specific info about the podcast When you start out, you have to go out and tell people. Take advantage of having a small audience. Have some sample clips on your About page. Then have your iTunes, etc. links. What kind of time commitment could someone expect for promotion? Buffer - batch tweets ahead of time. Always in promotion mode. Maybe a good hour a day, broken up throughout the day. Again, develop the relationships with your audience - they will eventually become your evangelists. It sometimes takes awhile for people to follow though. Money expectations? If you are too strapped for money, don't get into podcasting. There aren't too many hobbies you can do for free. On the otherhand, you don't have to spend $2,000. There are many advantanges of this: You'll be seen as an expert. You'll get to know your customer better. Go in with realistic expectations. Get started and begin reaping the rewards. What to expect at School of Podcasting (creativestudio.academy/sop): Everything you need in one place to start podcasting. Equipment and software recommendations. How to promote your podcast. Access to Dave.

Providing pastoral care is key to his role as head of year eleven at the London school and he does this by combining a no nonsense approach to bad behaviour with a sensitive handling of some of the difficulties encountered by his fifteen and sixteen year old charges. This is their GCSE exam year and although Dave left school in the 1970's with just one CSE in English he recognises the difficulties faced by those struggling with exam preparations and a lack of direction in today's tough economic climate. Well versed in policing mixed communities the former East End officer thought he had pretty much seen it all - that was until he entered the corridors of this showpiece academy. For Dave the behaviour issues he first encountered in the job were a reflection of poor parenting, with many adults unsure about how to instil a sense of right and wrong in their children. A total of five former police officers were brought into the school: each appointed as a year head and providing pastoral support and care. Their job is not an easy one but David Clifford tells Alan that it brings rewards, challenges, frustrations and excitement in equal measure. Having joined the police force at 19 he was due to retire at 49 when he saw the advert for "behaviour managers" at the academy. That was eight years ago and he and other four retired officers were quickly promoted to heads of year, where they have successfully tackled a whole range of issues in the school "What I wasn't prepared for was how vulnerable some of the kids are - for all their talk of street life they really don't have the resilience that I and my friends had when we were young. There are huge contrasts in the job and I see everything from the funniest moments to some of the most distressing." As Alan Dein tracks Dave Clifford through a school day he sees at first hand some of the challenges involved: a pupil who appears to have just dropped off the radar and another desperate to be in school but too ill to attend. He is called on to deal with a group of girls who swallow cinnamon for fun and he tracks down the culprits when chicken bones are discovered on the canteen floor. And in amidst these episodes there's an album to record and an outburst over a text book to resolve: it's all part of the working day for Dave Clifford. Producer: Sue Mitchell.

Bonni and I get together on this episode to examine some ways we've been stubborn as leaders, why it happens, and what we can do about it. We also discuss how we can work to prevent getting into this ineffective pattern. Community Feedback USA: (949) 38-LEARN Global: +1 (949) 385-3276 Twitter: @DaveStachowiak #CFLshow feedback@coachingforleaders.com We discuss a few examples of stubbornness showing up in our work and lives. Some of the reasons that we fall into a pattern of being stubborn: 1) We are perceived as experts in our field or topic (or we've convinced ourselves of this) and it simply doesn't occur to us that we might be wrong about anything related to it. 2) We decided that we know enough about the situation, topic, or problem already and refuse to put in effort to discover more. 3) We need to fight every batte instead of carefully choosing them. 4) We miss the grey areas with people that make each situation unique and worthy of different types of responses from us. How We Can Work To Fix It:  1) Let's examine how we react or respond when people bring us new ideas, suggestions, or changes - we can notice this ourselves, solicit feedback, or do assessment work. Either way, its important to become aware of our own patterns and tendencies. 2) We need to decide what shift (if any) is important for us to avoid stubbornness. For Dave, this shift is spending more time listening and less time explaining. 3) Find a way to hold yourself accountable for the results you want. If we're not holding ourselves accountable in some way, then we don't have sustainable change. 4) Find a shared truth (not just my truth or your truth - but a truth we can hold together). 5) Surround yourself with people who support you - Dave mentions how Bonni has been a big support in this way.
