This episode is all over the place because we're all over the place.And that's because we have ADHD. Yep, both of us.Because of it, we're easily distracted, disorganized, and prone to screwing up. But there's one way it affects us differently. Being so unfocused messes with my arousal quite a bit. For Jake, it's the opposite. This week, we talk about the ways ADHD affects our sex life, being dopamine junkies, and how to fight the odds and get horny anyway.We also mention day sex, killing our succulents, that time Jake went so hard he ended up with a swollen dick, and some very successful double penetration.Unfortunately, we still don't have our mixer so the sound kind of sucks on this one. We hope to be crisp and clear again soon!If you want to get your bondage on, you need the Sportsheets Under the Bed Restraint System.

Featuring a blast from the past, we catch up with Jake Latvala of Ol Loggin Sawmills and discuss the growth and changes he's seen in the past three years in terms of business and mindset. After twenty years with one company, Jake decided to take the leap and follow his woodworking passion. He would never have imagined this is where that passion would lead him. "It's such a scary thing to do, but it turned out the be the best decision I've ever made in my life." Even once he had the equipment, he was still patient, working evenings and weekends on his woodworking, but keeping his day job until he was confident and ready to try his hand at being a full-time woodpreneur. Since his last time on the podcast in 2018, not only has the vision of the company changed, but his entire mindset has grown and evolved as well. The original bar Jake set for himself was to be making at least as much as he used to make at his 9-5. Now, he has increased his earnings by 300% in the last two years, and grown Ol Loggin into a full brand and scalable business. The business isn't just a person anymore, it's not just me, it's a brand, Jake notes. Initially, Jake recalls he didn't want to be big, but now with thousands of active Facebook followers and nearly 13k followers on Instagram invested in his journey, he's realized the passion isn't just woodworking. It's also teaching. For Jake, pursuing his love of woodworking opened him up to new things that energize and excite him like teaching and marketing. The teaching came from creating content about his business and projects and, most importantly, a community mindset over a scarcity one. Jake teaches people to do exactly what he does and, in many cases, learns with his followers when it comes to new projects. When people ask if he's worried about creating competition for himself, all he can do is laugh. "I'm motivated to inspire people on how to do this stuff. I want to start doing a class where I teach people how to do it." There is more than enough prosperity in this industry to go around, and networking is one of the essential parts of being successful in this industry. Jake mentions as an example how reaching out to Steve for marketing advice helped him build his Instagram following, and how the next step is having his own platform of customers via his website, so he doesn't have to rely on a third-party platform to connect him to his community. It's about building, connecting, and realizing just because you can do it all, doesn't mean you necessarily should. Jake collaborates with local kiln owners and mills in his area and hopes to connect with more woodworkers and spread the wealth in terms of projects too. Other big plans include a bigger shop so that he can get his own vacuum kiln as well as more cinematic videos of his process and woodworking. In this way, Jake has perfectly shown the power of diversified revenue streams and also the importance of outsourcing and networking. By being the lumber yard, epoxy distributor, and teacher, he knows that he offers value to his followers and customers. He also knows the importance of quality, both in terms of the physical products he offers and the content he creates. In terms of the next steps and advice, Steve says the number one thing is to get liability insurance. In fact, any business making some decent money should make sure they invest in that aspect. Steve elaborates that this kind of investment has significant returns not only for being insured in the event of something unexpected happening but also in terms of being able to bid on big jobs for corporations, universities, etc., With so much to look forward to, big exciting projects on the horizon, and now equipped with some excellent business advice, we can't wait to see where Jake and Ol Loggin Sawmill is the next time we have them on the show.

In Episode 13 we celebrate our 2 year anniversary. For Jake's birthday, we ask him what he's learned during his 27 years on the planet. We talk why it's important to be told you're not good enough early in life. We discuss the Mid-Day Squares journey and what you could learn from it so far. Things get a little weird at the 40 min mark :)!
This week we are joined by Jake Muise, CEO & Founder of Maui Nui Venison. Born and raised in Northern Canada, Jake followed his gut to Hawaiʻi for college as a D1 athlete. During his years at Mānoa, he was taken in by a Molokaʻi family which was where his relationship with Axis deer began—over holidays and summer breaks, alongside multi-generational subsistence hunters. Over the years, his fascination and respect for this animal grew and after founding a research-based non-profit, the Axis Deer Institute, he took on several projects managing Hawaiʻiʻs invasive ungulates. Maui Nui grew out of his passion to create a full-bodied solution that saw Hawaiʻiʻs deer as both a non-native species in need of active population management as well as an incredible food resource whose sustainability and viability needed to be ensured in the long term. For Jake, hunting and environmentalism in Hawaiʻi are inseparable parts of the same set of actions and concerns. In many ways Maui Nui is bridging the gap between how much of the world obtains meat...and the #WildGameBased lifestyle. A thoughtful, and scientific based approach to wild game management, food and protecting the delicate ecosystems of the beautiful Hawai'ian Islands.

One thought-leader is guiding entrepreneurs to conscious leadership. In this episode: Jake Mitchell, the founder of consultancy Serenity Labs, says that impact entrepreneurs tend to give all of their energy towards making a positive difference in the world, among people, and their communities. But, he also asks: how can those same impact entrepreneurs change the world for the better when they are totally drained? Guiding entrepreneurs to conscious leadership is Jake Mitchell's mission. It’s an important question—one that Jake is not letting go unaddressed. He works with people to help them to achieve goals that go well beyond building revenue scale to mindful pursuits. And among those goals: to carve out considerable time during the day to escape work and do something joyful. For Jake, joyfulness comes from the precious time he spends with his girlfriend and playing Disc Golf. To extend his considerable thought-leadership, Jake speaks to a global audience as host of The Conscious Leader Podcast. Each week, he interviews a wide range of thought-leaders—in business, academia, and the healing arts—who serve humanity. About our guest: As a young child, Jake Mitchell thought that he would become a professional baseball player. But, it was when he dreamt at night that he pondered the meaning of the universe. Jake earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business from Skidmore College. In the years after graduation, he became a New York-based film producer. Then, he relocated to Boulder, Colorado where he brings the same deep well of creativity and passion to his work guiding and empowering impact entrepreneurs.

Jake loves life and he loves people. His passion is to see people unlock their potential. For Jake, this started by him dropping a self-story of an orphan to understanding his identity as a son. And now, as a son, he understands that he's been designed to live like a king. Jake has done a little bit of everything. He's been a full-time pastor, an IT guy, an education consultant, a worship leader. He has a Ph.D., is an author, an entrepreneur, a dad to seven kids (from five different moms - that's a story!), a husband, and a Jesus super-fan.
Jake Plummer, former Pro-Bowl NFL Quarterback talks about what fueled his competitive mindset and why he loved playing football so much. Jake shares how he managed his energy before games and how his pre-performance routine change overtime so he could be more effective throughout a game. In this episode, you are going to hear two quarterbacks talking about the mental side of the game and sharing intimate stories that inspired their joy for the game of football. For Jake, it was more than just throwing touchdowns and being in the spotlight. It was about winning.
Episode 11 Explicit Jake Goodman, Executive Director of The Opportunity Fund https://www.theopportunityfund.org We have touched on the dark side of philanthropy on this podcast before, but Jake and I take a deep dive here. How did we get here and how do we do these jobs with the knowledge that our daily lives are surrounded by privilege? And what does it look like to work with us? Our organizations have many parallels, but we are at different phases in our process creation. The Opportunity Fund was established upon the death of Gerri Kay to continue her life’s work. Opportunity Fund awards grants to small to midsize arts organizations, and organizations and initiatives that advance social and economic justice. They have a two-step application and the they grant in two cycles each year. They try their best to be as transparent as possible. Their grant application process is steeped in humanity, and the way they operate as neighborhood partners has won the hearts of funders and grant applicants alike. What is social justice? For Jake in the case of philanthropy, in each area they fund there is also a status quo and it is benefiting some and leaving out others. We mention the latest report on Pittsburgh’s Inequality Across Gender and Race and we agree that the work being done by organizations like New Voices Pittsburgh. When organizations meet with us to educate us, their perspective becomes part of the lens we use to determine which programs will be effective. I explain to Jake that since they took time away from their day to educate me, so I felt the need to try to come up with an hourly rate. Join us for the second half of this interview on 11/25 where we talk about navigating imposter syndrome. Music by Buscrates (https://www.instagram.com/buscrates/?hl=de)

My guest on today’s show is a Developer Advocate at Google working with the Chrome team to develop and promote web standards and developer tools. Prior to Google he worked at Lanyrd on their mobile website and for the BBC on JavaScript libraries and standards. He says that he wants the web to do what native does best, and fast. EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Phil’s guest on today’s show is Jake Archibald. He is a Developer Advocate at Google. Currently, he is working with the Chrome team developing and promoting innovative tools like squoosh.app. He is there to promote web standards and developer tools to all who will listen. Before beginning his career at Google he worked for the BBC developing their web services and JavaScript library and standards. Later he moved to Lanyrd. Today, he is a well-known conference speaker. Jake has delivered talks at JSConf.Asia, LDNWebPerf and SmashingConf London, to name a few. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (00.49) –Could you give us an understanding of what your current role with Google as a developer advocate is like? Jake starts out by explaining that it is a really varied role that changes from day to day. Last year, he was working on Squoosh.app, an image compression tool for the web. It uses codecs from C and Rust to compress images in the browser. Other times he works on web standards. He is also involved in fixing Chrome bugs. He sees is role as promoting the web rather than just Google services. When other browsers get things right they praise and promote them too. His aim is to help everyone to get more out of the web and working for Google has not constrained him at all he has been given the freedom to speak freely, which helps things to move forward faster. (3.50) Phil asks him to tell the audience about his work with the BBC, which was also all about web standards. Initially, Jake made web pages for TV shows. He then moved on to work on the BBC’s JavaScript library, which they use on pretty much every one of their pages. One of the biggest challenges he faced then, was keeping everything backward compatible. BBC policy meant that everything they produced had to be accessible using free tools, even older versions. Because, at the time, the newest version of Safari was a paid for tool, everything they built had to be compatible with the older version because it was still free. (5.41) – Can you please share a unique career tip with the I.T. career audience? The thing that made Jake successful was being in the right place at the right time. He feels there is an element of luck involved in everything. When he started out he knew very little about the web. But, within 2 years he had learned most of CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. So, when the web exploded he was able to exploit that knowledge to the full. This was despite the fact that there were, and still are, gaps in his knowledge. Not knowing everything will not stop you from progressing in your IT career. So, don’t get hung up about it. Just maximize what you do with your current skills and keep on learning to succeed. (8.00) – Can you tell us about your worst career moment? That happened early in his career. He was working for a large corporation looking after their site and intranet. One day the HR department asked him to take some of the job postings and install them on their intranet. It sounded easy but was far from it. The way their site worked with cookies made it very tricky to scrape the information, so it could be added to the intranet. At the time, he knew nothing about Perl. But, it was really the only solution. So, he had no choice but to work out how to do it. After a bit, he managed it and the team he was working with were really pleased. But, he realized they had zero understanding of what it had taken to achieve that result. At that point, he realized he had not found his dream job. In fact, it was going to be quite limiting, so he had no choice but to move on. That felt pretty bad. He was pretty disappointed. The other worst moment was when he broke the BBC’s iPlayer, their streaming service. He had not uploaded something properly. An error which, after two weeks, broke the corporation’s streaming service when a rarely used server was pulled into use. Only then did the error become apparent. He was blamed, despite the fact that it was a weakness in the deployment system that ultimately caused the issue. (13.58) – What was your best career moment? For Jake, being able to contribute to the HTML spec was a huge moment. The web will outlive him, so it feels good to be leaving a legacy, something which others will continue to benefit from. (15.45) – What excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers? For Jake, the fact that the web and JavaScript are still growing is exciting. In 10 years it is going to look very different than it does now. We are going to be able to do so much more with it. (17.55) – What drew you to a career in IT? When Jake was given his first computer at about the age of 7, he was hooked. He loved programming stuff that resulted in immediate visual feedback. So, he fell in love with the web the moment he was introduced to it. (19.00) – What is the best career advice you have ever received? One of Jake’s first jobs was working for a UK retail chain called GAME. Weirdly, his then boss told him to “get out of retail as soon as possible.” He pointed out that the pay was awful and the job was rarely enjoyable. At the time, the job fitted in well with his studies, so he stayed. But, he took the advice to heart and was careful to make sure he did not follow a career path that led to him working in retail. (20.55) - Conversely, what is the worst career advice you've ever received? Interestingly, that came from a deputy manager at GAME. He wanted him to go into retail management. Fortunately, his direct boss had already pointed out to him the pitfalls of that career path. So, Jake did not make the mistake of staying in retail. (21.19) – If you were to begin your IT career again, right now, what would you do? Jake would make sure that he got a grounding in the basics. His career path meant he skipped a lot of the simpler stuff. Now, he is struggling a bit because of this. He wishes he had done more of a computer science based course. Instead of the multimedia orientated one he actually completed. (22.38) – What are you currently focusing on in your career? Jake’s primary objective is not to get promoted into misery. It is something that he has seen happen to others. It is all too easy to get taken further away from what you enjoy doing every time you get promoted. Plus, of course, every time you move up the ladder you end up with more responsibility. He would rather take a sideways move than end up doing something he does not enjoy. Right now, his focus is web performance. He thinks that a lot of the bundling tools have got things wrong. So, that is very much a focus. (24.07) – What is the number one non-technical skill that has helped you the most in your IT career? Becoming a confident speaker has made a huge difference to Jake’s career. One conference talk led to another until he started to become well know. When that happened, finding work became really easy. The thing he enjoys most about conferences is speaking to people after he has given his talk. Jake finds that he learns so much from those conversations. (27.00) - What do you do to keep your own IT career energized? Jake says that he embraces procrastination. The most important work he has done has happened when he has meandered away a bit from what he should have been doing. Giving yourself a little time to explore is a great way to get the creative process going and come up with something really different. It is a great way to break the cycle of boredom and re-energize yourself so you can get some of the more tedious stuff done. (29.13) - What do you do in your spare time away from technology? Jake walks a lot, especially in the countryside. He finds it to be a good way to get away from things, take a bit of exercise, re-set and re-energize. (31.00) – Phil asks Jake to share a final piece of career advice with the audience. While at school his art teacher said to him “you get better with every painting that you paint.” Now, he realizes that is true of coding too. You need to practice to get good at it. If you are not developing the skills you want on the job. Take on small projects outside of the workplace to help you to do so. BEST MOMENTS: (2.35) JAKE – “I’m paid by Google to promote all things web." (5.50) JAKE – "Learn to be in the right place at the right time."

A lot of people have passions. Maybe it’s a sport. Maybe it’s a hobby. Maybe it’s like, performing brain surgery or something. For Jake and Jallen, one of their main passions in life is, and always has been, Reality TV (No like seriously, they love it). But how “real” IS “reality” TV? And what about it is SO addicting? This week, Jake and Jallen take you on a journey through the world of Reality TV and all that it encompasses.

Good leadership is knowing that emotion is just as important as logic. What is the connection between confidence, competence and vulnerability? How do we make sure our organization actually gets better from mistakes? Why is engineering adversity into our lives so powerful? On this episode, Jake Dreyfuss, a real estate agent & CEO in Philadelphia, PA explains how he went from 225 to 568 units in two years, and shares his leadership secrets that keep his team moving and working together. In order to become the leader people will want to follow, I need to work on personal growth. -Jake Dreyfuss Three Things We Learned From This Episode Don’t gloss over mistakes and setbacks A lot of us make mistakes in our business, but we don’t give ourselves the time to reflect. This makes it much harder to actually learn anything. The key is putting breaks in our schedules to realize when a mistake has been made so we don’t gloss over it. No team member left behind If there’s someone who isn’t hitting the team’s transaction standard, Jake wants the senior members of the team or the people who are performing well to be fully aware of those who are not reaching their goals. The high-performers should want to help those people succeed. It means there will always be a culture of reaching back to help the next person. Emotion and logic go hand in hand if we want to achieve our goals In order to really get people invested in the goal, it can’t just be about the numbers. There has to be an emotional driver behind it for someone to push through the challenges that will arise. For Jake’s team, one of their drivers is a dedication to helping homeless people in their local market. This results in a tangible benefit with emotional value, and serves as one of the motivators for the team to achieve their goals.

When it comes to building our organizations and setting up our goals, one huge mistake agents often make is looking at things through an aspirational lens and not the actual truth. Is your team really interdependent, or is that more of what you want in the future? This distinction is important because it affects how we recruit and the values we instill. It’s also important to co-create goals with our people because it will make them more likely to buy into them. Finally, when we make mistakes, we will get the true value out of them by taking a moment to pause and evaluate, instead of rushing to get things back to the norm immediately.
What Does it Take to be an Elite Short-Distance Runner? Every young athlete dreams of being the best at his or her game. Think back to your childhood days and envision yourself kicking a soccer ball in the backyard. Each tree is a suspect defender waiting for your signature juke. You can hear the crowd roar as you sprint past each victim and net the ball into the upper 90 with no time left. You whisper under your breath as the announcer in your head yells, “Goooooaaalll!” The game ends and you lie on the grass almost feeling yourself being lifted off the field by your teammates as the stadium chants your name. Okay. Maybe this isn’t the exact scenario that played out in your head. But you’ve had a dream before too. Whatever it was, it was glorious to you. Dreaming is fun, and instantly rewarding. But do you have what it really takes to become a true elite athlete? Enter Jake Wightman. Jake is a highly decorated short-distance runner who recently won the New Balance Fifth Avenue Mile in New York City. He also won gold at the 2013 European Junior Championships and has won bronze in both the Commonwealth Games and European Championships, all in the 1500-meter event. At the age of 24, Jake is just getting started. He is dedicated to his craft and reviewed with us what he has done to stay at the top of his game. Putting in the Work: Physical Training Once a dream becomes a goal, the real work begins. This can be both daunting and exciting. Jake’s success hasn’t happened on accident. He follows a rigorous training schedule, with concrete workouts every day of the week. Here’s what a typical weekly workout looks like for Jake: Monday: Fast run. 8 miles at a 5:40 pace. Yoga in the evening. Tuesday: Hill runs. 15 reps of 75 second near-sprints up and a jog back down. Strength conditioning for 2 hours in the evening. Wednesday: “Easy run.” 8 miles (or two 5s) at a 6 min pace. Evening stretches and light workout of calves, hamstrings. Thursday: Another fast run. 5 miles at a 5:40 pace. Additional drills and sprints. Friday: Easy run or recovery day. Saturday: Time-based runs. Strength conditioning. Sunday: Long run. Up to 17 miles, but comfortable. A pace you can have a conversation at. SO, if all you have written out for your daily workout is “Run,” you might want to take a page out of Jake’s book. Depending on your distance of choice, the best type of training routine for you could be drastically different. While an elite marathon runner logs 100-120 miles a week, someone like Jake puts in 65-75 miles. Elite athletes train hard, but they also train smart. Make sure you are doing what is good for YOUR body and your type of competition. Staying Mentally Tough If you are reading this article, you probably already know that the majority of athletic success comes from mental toughness. Naturally gifted athletes with raw, physical abilities will not last long against persistent, mentally tough, run-of-the-mill competitors. For Jake, it’s all about embracing the opportunity of a competition, staying positive, and remembering to be human. After you have committed to putting in the training time, every competition can be treated as a reward, a time to show what all that hard work has accomplished. For those that get nervous or anxious as the competition gets closer, Jake says, “You’ve got to remember the work you’ve put in…the race should just be the icing on the cake.” Speaking of cake, another task of being a great athlete is remaining human. “Although it seems like [great runners] live the strictest lives possible, we’re also human,” says Jake. He goes on to say that runners at every level need to have moderation in everything. Never allowing yourself to cheat and have your favorite dessert or beer once in a while can be more damaging than helpful. Mental toughness is also about being realistic with yourself. Be dedicated, but make sure to enjoy life at the same time. Maintaining a Positive Image Have you thought about what changes when you actually become an elite athlete? It’s probably mostly a waste of time to think about what you will do once you become a superstar athlete. (It’s like dreaming what you will do when you win the lottery.) You ought to focus on the day-to-day and what will get you there. However, there are a few things to consider once you finally “make it.” As you climb the ladder of success, more and more eyes will be on you. Young athletes especially will begin to pattern their clothes, pre-competition routines, and attitudes after you. Jake Wightman gives back to the running community by volunteering at training camps and giving advice to those hopeful athletes that are hoping to break through. Remember that you are representing your sport, your city or country, and your friends and family. Being a “Pollyanna” isn’t a requirement when you start to get a little success, but remember, it’s bigger than just you. If you are a hopeful athlete yourself, Jake gives some of his best advice to those that are determined to make their dreams a reality. “It’s just a game of being patient,” Jake says, “I guarantee if you stay with it and don’t do anything stupid or lose your head or lose your love for the sport, you will get the success you deserve from all the hard work you put in.” So, what are you waiting for? Go out there and work hard, be patient, and never stop loving your sport and you too will find the success you deserve.
