We get asked for advice by new colorists and those looking to do more color (editors,DPs, etc) all the time.It's easy to get into the technical weeds very quickly. In our opinion, a super technical deep dive into modern coloring is not the place to start - it can be overwhelming and turn off a lot of people who are looking for a creative outlet. So instead of debating the merits of specific workflows and tools, in this episode, we jump into a handful of high-level tips geared to help the new colorist or those working in other disciplines get their feet under them in the world of color. Some of the things we'll explore in this episode include:The power of a less is more approach and following your instincts on overdoing gradesLearning how to respect the photography of a project and not reinvent itWork in passes, focusing on big moves first and working to not get caught up in tiny details right awayWhen it comes time to massaging details learning how to focus on the ones that really matterUnderstanding and learning how to fight visual adaptationA good-looking scope doesn't always equal a great-looking shotLearning to understand visual intent and why neutral is not always the goalWhy reference monitoring is and always will be important & why calibration/environment is more important than a specific display technology. Not overcomplicating color management & believing everything the internet has to say on color pipelinesThe importance of allowing time for experimenting & learning not to feel pressured to use new tools just because they're thereShaping your best characteristics - confidence & communication Thanks for watching/listening!

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co host in life Brad and I are going to dig into the trivia. They wanted to say trivial but it's trivia convo. Yeah, it's trivia. It's it's a multiple choice. It's a it's a fun game show. So game show conversation I have with Phil Barth. In our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview. Feel free to pause this now. Go back and listen that women come back and join us you guys. So if you are like me, you grew up with game shows. What?Brad Crowell 2:35  She messed up my dad joke. It's okay. We're rolling with it... (Lesley: Oh, that was i) that literally was what are you supposed to read verbatim? Because it's a bad dad joke... (Lesley: I don't even)Lesley Logan 2:44  I don't even get it... (Brad: you're good, you're good) Okay. Well, anyways, I am nailing it. You guys. You know what? Sometimes you have to walk around and say I'm nailing it. I'm nailing it. So I I was so intrigued by Phil, when he reached out to me on the podcast, because first of all, if you if you listen to podcasts, he was on who wants to be millionaire. And I grew up watching that show and all of the trivia shows and I really, I've never been good at jeopardy. But I used to my my roommate, and I would set the bar and watch Wheel of Fortune. And then we would like practice because someday we thought... (Brad: Wheel of Fortune!) Oh, yeah. And we would see if we could get the puzzle before anyone else would. And I really we never applied to be on the show, which is probably why we weren't on the show. But like, anyways, I just really what I loved about having Phil on, and we'll talk about more is just like, he's just so energetic and full of life. And like he's doing really big things now and we had a fun conversation about it. It was great. It was just it was just fun.Brad Crowell 3:41  His enthusiasm is contagious... (Lesley: Yeah, that's two in a row). Two in a row.Lesley Logan 3:46  Yeah, and if you're like what's two in a row? Well, you that means you missed last week, so you gotta go back.Brad Crowell 3:51  Listen to the history... (Lesley: do a little Be It binge)Lesley Logan 3:55  Wow, that's fun. Uh, Be It binge.Brad Crowell 3:57  Oh, it's a Be It binge. Lesley Logan 3:59  We should hastag that. Let us know if you're ... (Brad and Lesley overlapping: binge alert, binge alert) Okay, well anyways, Alright, before we get into the whole Phil Barth situation, we are in well, if you're listening to this in real time, like you were on top of your episodes, it is the presale for the this workshop we're doing an OPC about the rollout. If you're listening to it a few days after it pops out well, you can still buy it for a short time only, but it's a little bit more expensive. So you know, listen to things when they come out in time that's a life lesson there. Or actually just get on our list. You hear about that? Brad Crowell 4:34  So if you're Be It binging this then you missed it but it's okay we love you.Lesley Logan 4:38  We love you anyways and there's something for you. If you go to opc.me/events I bet you'll find something amazing there.Brad Crowell 4:45  Yeah, and if there is nothing there go to opc.me/workshops to get yourself on the waitlist for future events.Lesley Logan 4:52  But if you are struggling if you're like I hate the roll up or I hate tees or I hate anything with flexion then opc.me/events is going to take you to this amazing workshop that we're having, it's such a fun one. But you kind of it's like one of those, like, be it. You better be it or you lose out on it. I don't know, I feel there's like a theater...You better Be It Till You See It or...Or it's gone. That's true. That's how that's going. Okay, the next thing I have a little thing I have to tell you, if you're an OPC member, I've been teasing you a little bit, but it's getting closer, you guys.Brad Crowell 5:25  Well, let know that we should tell them... (Lesley: I can't tell them) No, what we're saying today is stay tuned. Because next month, we have a very, very exciting addition for every one of our OPC members. And that's all we can say.Lesley Logan 5:42  Well, can I at least say it's not a human?... (Brad: Yes, you can say it's not a human). When you can say there's an addition to something people are gonna think...Brad Crowell 5:48  You can let them fill in the blank in their own mind... (Lesley: Okay, well...) so they can explore and maybe it's a thing.Lesley Logan 5:53  Well, they tag me in your guesses on online and let me see if I'll let you know if you're right. And then finally, Brad and I are actually gonna be home for almost two months. I love how you said it's, it's a whole two months, it is not even close to whole two months, but it's a good six weeksBrad Crowell 6:09  from work. back from Mexico. Yeah. To tell when we go, maybe you're, you might be leaving to go to Texas, maybe.Lesley Logan 6:19  I'm not really sure where I'm headed. But I will say I don't I don't know if it's a full eight weeks, but it's close. And so we're gonna we're gonna be like really enjoying our routines. Because once it's May, it is likeBrad Crowell 6:31  Yeah, the rest of the year from May this year is going to be like a rocket ship.Lesley Logan 6:34  Yes, yes. Because Brad insisted that we go on two tours. So we're doing two tours. And we're super stoked about that. And if you're like, what is the second tour? Well, guess what? This summer, we're going to do The West Coast tour. So if you are a West Coast listener,Brad Crowell 6:49  We're working it all out right now... (Lesley: We are working it out). It's gonna be sometime in August... (Lesley: Yeah. So hit us up. If you want) location to be determined. Lesley Logan 6:56  Hit us up if you want to make sure you are on the TBD list we haven't made yet. So there isn't one to go to.Brad Crowell 7:02  But what we're gonna do, we're gonna make it up right now. Oh, the opc.me/tour. Yeah, to get on the waitlist for the tour.Lesley Logan 7:09  Yeah. Wonderful. That's so fun. Okay. My team is taking notes. All right. Before we get into the episode with Phil Barth, we had a question from you, actually, because you complain about this all the time. So I just, (Brad: all the time.)what about the other day and you can put an extra (...) you know, everyone knows our listeners know how I feel about complaining. So what is your question, Brad?Brad Crowell 7:32  Okay, so this is Brad submitted his own question. I don't know about y'all. But whatever it is... (Lesley: I feel like this is nepotism. It's like a Nepo. Baby?Yeah, just won because I win. All I do is win win win in my hip flexors. So the the, every time I go sit up, I'm like doing it okay. I half feel like I'm whipping my body around. But when I try to like actually get into my muscles of my stomach and my core situation. By the time, if I've done like 20 or 30 setups, all I actually feel is hurt in my hip flexors. Yeah, every time. And it's like, I'm really doing my damnedest not to be in my hip flexors. Yeah, yeah, I'm not doing it. Right.Lesley Logan 8:21  And you also complain about this when you do the mat classes? With me (Brad: Oh, yeah) on the roll up, and the teaser and all of that stuff. So...Brad Crowell 8:21  Actually, yeah, it's teaser mostly, like roll up. I feel like I'm... (Lesley: getting better?). Well, yeah, cuz I'm starting with my upper body. And I'm not starting with my, yeah, I'm not starting with with my flexors, but the...Lesley Logan 8:45  To the listener at home: we have three dogs.Brad Crowell 8:48  Oh my gosh!Lesley Logan 8:49  One of them is silently letting us know that they are here? If you know you know.So here's the thing. There are probably listeners in here who are like wanting to let you know about every single muscle review you're not using correctly. And I'm going to just like make it really simple for all of us. If you're doing situps, and you're filling your hip flexors, it is a sign that you're not really using all of the muscles of your center, you're just not. And that's not your fault, necessarily. Sit ups are a really easy exercise to bypass a lot of those muscles. Just use your rectus which is a very surface surface muscle. And then if your feet are moving around in your situps is a sign that your hip flexors are going oh, oh, you want to bring your chest, well your legs will bring your legs to the chest is the same thing, right? It's not and it so what's happening is the hip flexors are are pulling your back to the legs, because that's what they do. They pull the legs to the back, they'll pull the legs to your stomach. So um, so this is a podcast not a an anatomy class. So if you can't picture that it's just how it is. So what I do as a Pilates person, when I do sit ups is the same thing that I do when I'm when I'm doing a roll up or I'm doing teaser, I am pushing down into my feet, and energetically dragging them towards my seat. This is activating the muscles that I call the fast, which is your inner thighs, your hamstrings, your glutes. So when I come up, of course, though, there's like a little bit of like a wanting to turn off. But I tried to keep this little technical term as well. Like a hug and like I put on some Spanx, right. And I try to especially keep that on as I'm a lowering myself down. So...Is that like, when, you when you say you're keeping that on... (Lesley: Yeah). You're talking about... (Lesley: the hamstrings and glutes, inner thighs) Are you also talking about your stomach?Yeah, I mean, yes, I'm not. I'm not like trying toBrad Crowell 10:57  I'm trying envision doing a setup while I'm sitting in a chair. So it's like...Lesley Logan 11:00  you know, everyone who's sitting right now, if you're driving in your cruise control, you can do this too. So everybody sitting in a chair or sitting at your desk or sitting in your car, please make sure that you are with your eyes open. Press down into your feet, like like it could stand up. Obviously you're not they do push down into your feet. Okay. Do you feel like you're like you're a little taller. Your booty got a little on? So that... (Brad: Yeah) yeah?. So now pull your stomach muscles at the same time. Okay, so that's just like, that's the feeling we want to have on the way up from our sit up. And then on that way down, right. So what I don't want you to do is like bear down and grip anything. But you you're feeling your hip flexors, because you're not incorporating more muscles. And it's not your fault. Your hip flexors are very strong from you playing soccer or volleyball or running or walking the dogs like that's hip flexors, hip flexors, hip flexors. So what's happening is the other muscles that are required to sit up, they are weaker, and they're not participating as much. So there you go. That's your anatomy, your science. And if you are interested in what I'm talking about with the fast muscles, they are very important when it comes to your roll up. And if you are a person who does Pilates and you hate the roll up, teaser pisses you off, you're not even going to do hip circles on the mat, then come to the OBC workshop that's coming up. Because you're you're gonna want to hear all the ways that I don't sell my hip flexors in Pilates. It's not because I'm not using them. It's just because they're part of a big orchestra of muscles.Brad Crowell 12:28  Nice opc.me/events opc.me/eventsAll right, now let's talk about Phil Barth. As a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, a speaker and an author Phil barth is the man who specializes in goal achievement. His journey began when he found success by trying something different. And surrounding himself with the right people. Today he helps others fried chickens and overcome their barriers to success through his books.Lesley Logan 14:17  Don't you just love that he's just helped people find some chickens. Love it. I love it. Because when you're not going after your goals, you're essentially chickening out. So I'm in. I wonder if that's what he meant... (Brad: I don't actually know). Bill, let me know if I'm on the path.Brad Crowell 14:32  Well, I'm curious to see if you looked at that New Zealand bird that you were telling him about?Lesley Logan 14:36  Oh, he did... (Brad: Oh, cool). Yeah, um, he sent it to me. I forgot. You know, it can't keep it all in but I'll look it up. I'll look it up while you're talking about Phil.Brad Crowell 14:46  Awesome. Well tell us let's jump into what he said that you love today. And I saw that you have two points.Lesley Logan 14:54  I know. Okay, well, there's apparently a lot of birds that have expired. I put expired. It's extinct, right?Brad Crowell 15:02  You said expired? Oh!Lesley Logan 15:05  I know, it, well when you, when you, okay, when you pass away, when, when your doctor's office reports were paper you guys when it was like when you're when your doctor had a chart remember Seinfeld physical chart he'd write a note and Elaine was like "what are you writing in there?" So I used to be a chart person at a doctor's office and I would put the charts away like things like the library and putting the books away. It's very specific the order that goes into that they can find the chart literally by a person who goes... That's all your job is to pull charts. Okay, and then put the charts back. Anyways, if you die they put expired and the date on it in Sharpie... (Brad: Expired?) Expired! (...) All right, that's an inside joke, guys. Okay, so (...)Okay. Two things, I did have two things that I loved. So the first is the bo hag!Brad Crowell 16:03  Bo hag? What the hell is a bo hag?Lesley Logan 16:06  The big old hairy ass goalBrad Crowell 16:08  B O H A GLesley Logan 16:10  And you have to be obsessed with it. Because you guys, I think a lot of times when we aren't achieving a goal, it's because it's almost too easy to achieve. So we kind of want to do it tomorrow. But if you pick up really... (Brad: tomorrow) tomorrow, if you want to... (Brad: swap) you guys, we only get served the same ads and we stream we serve three ads. And that's one of them. I can't even tell you who the company is. I just... (Brad: Oh I can) Okay, well, we can't say that I sponsor the shots. But, um, so if you know, let us know we can have... (Brad: if you know, you know) you now. Excuse me. So, if your goal is like really big and scary, and it's it's kind of bigger than you, it makes it easier to show up. Like when you hit an obstacle because it's not. It's not about you so and then you want to be obsessed with it. And what that means is like, it's not like, like getting crazy and you just like, lock yourself in a room until it's over. But like you, you really are making sure that you're not saying yes to things that take you away from the goal. So everything that people ask you to it's like, is this gonna get me closer to my bohag? Is this gonna help with my bohag? When you're obsessed with your bohag? First of all, our friend Michael, he's been on the show. He is obsessed with his bohag, he's so obsessed (...) Yes, he is so obsessed with his bohag. He is always thinking about it. So when he meets people, he is able to immediately see how can this person connect me to like get me close my bohag or, and this is like next level bohag obsession. How can this person help someone else that I need to help me with my bohag and then it's like reciprocity? I watch him do this. I'm part of the whole thing I'm like Oh, I see what you're doing. Yeah, I see it and yes, I will help you because you helping me help me with my bohag so here we go. So get obsessed with your bohag. He also went into passion versus obsession so go back and listen to that he you know what is really cool he he also talked about standing out from your competition remember what the red marker so you guys at the the actual show and he would go to try out for for almost a jeopardy for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. they hand you a black marker and he brought a red marker so that he is card would stand out. This kind of like those who like I don't really care. I don't get how this helps me. Okay, my lovely ladies. I know we're about the same age you listen to you watch Legally Blonde. You watch Legally Blonde, right?Brad Crowell 18:40  I have watched Legally Blonde.Lesley Logan 18:42  Remember her resume? Smells nice, doesn't it?... (Brad: Oh yeah). Smells nice. Y'all have to find a way to stand up. She is one of how many people going to Harvard. Like that she's fighting for like one of these spots. So her resume had perfume. Right? So you have to think about how do you how can I stand out amongst the crowd of people. When I was doing commercials... And when they call you in for a commercial, they're like every redhead. Okay, so like, how do... I am a redhead, How do I stand out? Well I had the red lipstick. I also made sure I found a way to laugh out loud. Even if the commercial was something so depressing. I wanted to find because my laugh is something that people remember, you have to find a way to stand out especially for things that are very subjective. You're getting chosen as one of these people... It's pretty subjective right? So anyways, when it comes to your bohag, How can you stand out a little bit more so don't be a tulip rise above sunflower styleBrad Crowell 19:37  Don't be a tulip y'all!Lesley Logan 19:42  You know, you know how the tulips are, the tulips are all the same height... (Brad: I did not know that) you've never heard of like the tulip problem, the tulips sit... like there's like it's a whole thing someone has to look it up but it's like an actual saying that like there are people are raised to be a tulip but no one wants to stand up higher. So all the tulips are like you'll rarely see a tulip like, up higher, you know what I mean? people, someone is nodding along with me. Brad Crowell 20:07   I love it. I love it. I'm not this is a new new analogy for Brad. But that's a great. I love I love that idea. You definitely have to stand out. And I think, you know what, like when Less and I coach pilates instructors, you know, a lot of people come in to the program, and they're like: "Well, how is this person that I'm in this group with not my competition, because I teach Pilates and so do they? so wouldn't it just be like, I'm actually empowering my competition. And our response is always no, you are just teaching Pilates. You are actually you have a very specific niche, you niche down, you have to get into the space where you know exactly what you're doing for this one specific thing. The more you niched down, the more diehard your clients are going to be, the more you're going to be able to help people fill out their schedule. So basically the, like if you were doing let's say, you know you came from a back injury, right? And you were helping people get over a back injury themselves. It just so happens to be that you're using Pilates to do it. You see oh, you're not selling Pilates anymore. You're actually helping people with back injury stuff or maybe whatever it is that your specific thing your niche may be that is going to help you stand out from the crowd because it's going to be Pilates for back injuries.Lesley Logan 21:31  I'm becoming more and more commenced with all these bots that are coming out that the more specific you are going to get on your website, the more likely that these bots are going to say this is the pilates teacher for you because of some, because now people are being told that they can say oh, I want a low impact workout with a female instructor who specializes in taller bodies. You better better have that that word on your site otherwise they're not going to pull you up because gone gone gone are the days of the old search engines pretty soon so anyway I don't know this is a theory I have.Brad Crowell 22:05  It's very interesting I know with the with the new chat bot searches things are going to shift here y'allLesley Logan 22:11  Don't worry we will keep, we will keep our agency members... (Brad: agency members will know) they'll be first. Before you go into what you love is the MOA. That's the one that extinctBrad Crowell 22:22  Yeah, magically got a text message from... (Lesley: from me) who's truly...Lesley Logan 22:27  Look at it, babe. It looks like, it looks like an ostrich slash a Brontosaurus.Brad Crowell 22:34  MOAS... (Lesley: I might be saying that wrong) Oh, MOA sorry, Moas is plural. Moa is the singular. MOA.Lesley Logan 22:40  Yeah, if you're in New Zealand, and I said that wrong, you can let me know. I'll work on my accent. Okay, what did you love?Brad Crowell 22:48  It's worth looking up... (Lesley: It's such a cool bird). It's pretty... (Lesley: I'm so bummed it's gone). It's like a tall. It's like a it's like a different type of ostrich but it's not an ostrich at all.Lesley Logan 22:58  No, I think it was a mammal. I don't know. (...)Brad Crowell 23:02  All right, here's what I love y'all, we're gonna get to it. I also had two things. So first is he talked about having an accountability partner? Okay. So he said, for him, it was his wife. And the reason that he had an accountability partner was so that he could get this scary goal, this like, potentially, like impossible goal of getting on a television show out of his own head and out of you know, in front of somebody else, because that helps with accountability. So having the right partner is really important, because his wife was very encouraging. In fact, he literally said, Oh, the last city that I drove to, so that I could be in an audition for this show, which obsessed y'all, he almost didn't go it was to Cleveland. And he's and his wife said, hey, you've been focused on this for so long, you might as well go. And he's like, You know what, you're right. I almost didn't go. So he went, and then he was able to get on the show. Right? So you want to pick somebody who's really going to have your back who's going to be understanding, and that could be your friend, your parent, your spouse, your, you know, teacher, whatever it might be one of your classmates, you know, so having an accountability partner is super beneficial. And the second thing that I really loved what he said is, you need to see yourself to success, which is super be it till you see it, right. He practiced him, like, in his own home, he practice seeing himself envisioning himself in that seat on the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire platform. He practiced himself sitting there when the lights went around, and then the audience goes dark, and it's just him and the host.Lesley Logan 24:42  They put like very stressful music.Brad Crowell 24:44  Yeah, the whole thing. I mean, and you know, it's so, so funny because it kind of sounds hippie dippie. But I grew up in sports, and my coaches always used to say: See yourself putting that ball in the net. See yourself winning the game. See yourself, you know, like completing the past or getting the gig if you play volleyballLesley Logan 25:03  In softball, I'm sure the same as in baseball, that you want it, you watch the ball hit the bat, you didn't look where you're running next you like, you like we're swinging and you're like, I'm gonna see that ball and that bat hit even before they hit, and you're gonna watch that you have to, you have to see that otherwise, you're gonna swing and the ball's gonna go somewhere else.Brad Crowell 25:22  Yeah. And when because he was practicing that at home, when he was in the greenroom, and the stress was on, he was like, okay, deep breath, he closed his eyes and he's like, just remember, it's just me and the host. There's nobody else there. And what I'm doing is I'm seeing myself in the seat answering the question correctly, I'm seeing myself in the seat answering the question correctly. And that helped him through a very stressful, you know, experience of being in the green room for two days before it was his turn to finally be on the show. And then being on the show, and he didn't freeze up. So yeah!Lesley Logan 25:56  I mean, I mean, what, you guys I'm sure... If you are like the hooligans, The Millionaire wife, she interviewed this person, but like, can you see all the different ways you've been until you said, like, I had to have him on to show like, like, this is how you do it. Like this is the roadmap. This is it. Anyways, I'm obsessed. We have to get to the Be It action because this one made probably the best.Brad Crowell 26:20  Love it. Stick around!Alright, right, so finally, let's talk about those Be It action items. What bold, executable intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Phil Barth?Lesley Logan 26:40  I know you're gonna jump in first, but I can't believe you sold this morning. Because you're not a morning person. But like this. This is (...)Brad Crowell 26:49  This is hilarious. This is, I love this. Phil specifically said, hey, you know y'all have a bucket list. Love that you have a bucket list. But you also need a fuck it list... (Lesley: Yes). Yeah, a fuck it list. That's right. And if you said if you're not okay with that, just call it a chuck it list. Okay, the whole idea here of a fuck it list is basically look at you. Okay, and this is what I thought was really interesting. (Brad and Lesley overlapping) no, no, no, you need to be looking at yourself internally. This is what was very challenging for, well, everybody, nobody likes to analyze themselves, okay? But the things that go on your fuck it list are things that are no longer serving you, things that you no longer want to be, things that you no longer want to do, you no longer want to have. Right? And that can be tough to decide, you know, maybe it's like, let's pick something that's obvious and easy. Maybe road rage, you get really angry when people cut you off. And you're like screaming and yelling and cursing. And what happens to that it like, actually builds this tension in you, and it can affect the rest of your day. Right?Lesley Logan 28:07  Yeah, exactly. It's gonna be harder to go back into like, like, like dreaming up and being creative, that's for sure.Brad Crowell 28:14  Totally. And so maybe you, you want to get rid of that, that thing could go on your fuck it list, right? And that's like, you know, it might take practice and time to like, allow that stuff to roll off of you. But when you identify it, and you put it on the fuck it list, now you're aware of it, right? And that will allow you to let go of that thing. Whatever that thing might be. He actually said he had a volcano drawn on his whiteboard in his office, and everything that he didn't want anymore. He wrote it into the inside of the volcano, it became a checklist. So cool, he chuck those things into a volcano!Lesley Logan 28:52  This could be like and it's like people that no longer serve you, things that no longer serve you. Maybe, maybe, like, Netflix binging is no longer serving you, like, you know, and maybe you have to get rid of streaming subscriptions just so you really don't go back to them. But what are...?Brad Crowell 29:08  Well, he specifically said, here's why, obviously, it's going to benefit you from that perspective. But really, it's because you're the things that end up in your chuck it list. They're actually taking up space. They're taking up so much space that they might be getting in the way of your bohag. Or your next bohag. Right? So when you are able to clean houses at work, it's gonna really tee you up to knock the next one out of the park. Yep. How about that?Lesley Logan 29:38  I love it. And then as if that wasn't enough, like I mean, he could have just stoppedBrad Crowell 29:43   He could have totally stop there.Lesley Logan 29:45  He's like, yo, just start your day right? And this is a, you know, you know who I am. So he actually quoted a Harvard University study that said those who started their day with negative news versus those who start their day with a solution based news. So if you had three minutes of negative news, it lead you to have a 20% chance greater... (Brad: 27) 27% greater chance of having a bad day. Just three minutes.Brad Crowell 30:09  Yeah, that's that's like a quarter like times a quarter more. You're basically setting yourself up to have a bad day. Yeah, if you're taking on negative news, right in the morning.Lesley Logan 30:21  Right in the morning, so I love that that this one is coming after D thing. So like y'all, you can actually take this Be It action with last week's action item and like, really, truly make sure that you are doing your 15 minutes a moment, your five minute meditation and then your 10 minutes of self development... (Brad: Yeah. So yeah, working on you) working on you, before you get all involved up in that new shit. Because you have to start your day out right so you can go after your bohag.Brad Crowell 30:52  I can I can personally attest to this, that before the last election cycle, November last year, so it was like probably September, October, November. I was so personally invested in you know what was happening? Like with the news that was very seriously affecting my mental state.Lesley Logan 31:15  Oh, we weren't you weren't? With work not getting done on time. Yeah, whenever there's an election, I think we should have a team rule where all political podcasts and news podcasts are paused for three months. Like, we just might need to do that. Because of the bu... we have to put the fuck it list just for 90 days, just because it gets a little distracting.Brad Crowell 31:33  Or maybe it's something that happens during lunch instead of first thing in the morning because that's, I was waking up in the morning, plugging right into the news. And that was what I was focused on.Lesley Logan 31:42  Oh, yeah, yeah. So anyways, well, let's check in with Brad if he decides to this, we have we have a year off of for before election. So you got a year to get on that fuck it list, but put it on that. Put it on next fall's fuck it list page. You guys, Phil is so fabulous. I really like wish that we were like all related. And I bet you that salary unions are so great with him. Anyways, he has a book out already called Great Things Happen Every Day. And he has another book that he's working on one called Fryer Chickens. So go check them out. Yeah, and if you if you're like, Oh yeah, yeah, remember this stuff like, well, if you aren't going after your bohag, then you need better reminders. So you just do. We all need it. We all have those days. I'm Lesley Logan,Brad Crowell 32:27  and I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 32:28  Thank you so much for being here.

So, I can't get really nostalgic about certain things. And I grew up watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune with my family. And then obviously, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which is going to bring us into our guest this week. And it's not because I want to talk about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on the show. But I actually want to talk about someone's journey to achieving their big ass goals. And I think that sometimes we can get a little, a little like in the weeds with things or we can also maybe not actually push ourselves to actually go for the things we think. We've just started to listen to other people or ourselves and think it's never gonna happen to us. And so our guests, Phil Barth, he actually had a goal. He got curious about something, decided to do it. And then he worked his ass off for several years to make it happen. And I just wanted to share his journey, what he learned along the way, what he did after and what he's doing now. And I think it's so fun to hear stories like this because hopefully you can picture yourself in in the same situation with whatever it is you're going after. And so, now let's listen to Phil Barth story.Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.All right, Be It babes. Oh, I'm really excited about this. Because our guest today he is, will he'll tell you his story. But when I saw what he has accomplished his life, I was like, "Oh, I've watched that show." I like ... and so I was like taking it out of memory lane. And I I just like I have to talk to him. Because first of all, not only has he accomplished a lot, but he has learned so much along the journey. And I wanted to share that with you all because I think sometimes we get so obsessed with the goal, we forget that the journey has a lot to teach us. So Phil Barth, thank you so much for getting on the Be It pod. Can you tell everyone who you are and what you do?Phil Barth  Sure. As you mentioned, my name is Phil Barth. I am a speaker author. That's that's my side gig gig. I still work in the computer world, in the IT world as a as a geek, basically. It's this the show you're talking about was Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. I'm sure we'll get into that. But you probably don't remember the episode but but that's okay. Yeah.Lesley Logan  That would be hard. There was a lot and ...Phil Barth  Oh, I know, right?Lesley Logan  It's still on. I think it's still on.Phil Barth  It is still on. And what I've seen now they don't do it for millionaire but some game shows. I don't know why you do this, except for the game show nerds like myself. They're putting episodes out on I believe it's Amazon Prime video. So you can see old episodes of the 70s game show Match Game and and and there's a couple more. So who knows someday I might be out on Amazon Prime.Lesley Logan  That's amazing. You have to put that on your on your your, you know your resume.Phil Barth  I totally will. That's all there here's, here's the link. Go check it out.Lesley Logan  I love that so much. I would tell people like when I was getting started and doing commercials and everything like, oh, I'm gonna dro... I was in a Dropbox ad, which is true. It was not ever on TV. It was only an add on on the internet, though. So but who knows? It's they have it forever. So it could be used in different ways.Phil Barth  Still count. It actually count.Lesley Logan  So okay, so first of all, like what got you into even being wanting to do the show? Like, I feel like we have to go back a second.Phil Barth  Yeah. Yeah. Good idea. So it was the show came out August of 99. And I had read articles and papers, "Oh, that's interesting." And so August of 99, I remember I'm at the Marriott in Stanford. And I walk into my room I'm like, "Oh, it's almost time for that show I read about." So I turned it on. And I'm watching it, I'm thinking. "You know, I can try to do this." Because it's multiple choice, right? You always have a guess. Jeopardy, I sit there watch the games ... How they know that.Lesley Logan  I know. I can only watch teen Jeopardy and even then I get a half ...Phil Barth  I only watch the first half before the questions get too difficult and like, I'm out here. But but I was like I can do that. And that was the thought right? And then at the end, they said, "Hey, if you want to be a contestant on millionaire, dialed this 800 number. Well, that's easy enough. So I dialed, in every night they had a, an audition, basically, three questions, you had to put things in order from oldest to newest, newest to oldest, east to west, whatever. And if you got them, right, you went into a drawing for one of 10 spots on the show. Now, every night 200,000 people were calling in. So the odds are one and 20,000. (Lesley: Yeah.) But that that didn't stop me, right. All of a sudden, I had this, I had this vision that I'm gonna be on that show. And I know part of it was because my grandmother loved the show from the start. And when she passed away, like, oh, you know, this would be a great way to remember my grandmother, great. But if it had been who wants to be 100 air, I don't think I would have ... had that drive. Right. (Lesley: Right.) There was that promise of riches. And the other thing that happened was, of course, I watched the show every single day, because that's part of I wanted to see myself in that in that hot seat. So how ...Lesley Logan  That's such, that's such an interesting thing, because I would think people would watch it just to like, get used to the question, but you are also picturing yourself being in the chair. Yes.Phil Barth  Exactly. So one night, I'm watching it, and somebody wants $250,000 and quit at the half million dollar question. I knew every single question, including the half million dollar question on that particular set. And I'm like, holy cow, now I can really see myself you know, doing the backstroke and all these dollar bills and so on. Right. So ...Lesley Logan  I love that you visualize, you're gonna swim in the money.Phil Barth  Throwing the dollar bills. Right. So so I, it became an obsession and I when I speak on this subject, you know, I say there's a fine line between being obsessed with something. I forgot the other half of it, (Lesley: You mean, passionate.) that's it. Thank you. Fine line between passionate and obsession, right. And obsession is got a bad rap, you know, your, your obsession, you're going to, you're going to be put it they're gonna have to put a restraining order on you, blah, blah, blah. But if you're really obsessed with something, and you cross over that line, there are payoffs when you make it your goal. People call it a bolhag, big ol hairy. Look, I call them big ol hairy ass goals. Other people ... (Lesley: Yes.) nicer name for a, but that's what it is. Right? It is your bolhag, you want it so bad. And so I watch the show every day, every time there was a phone audition to call in. I, I was in there, right. And then eventually, I never passed on the phone, I never passed the audition, never made it to the finals to get on the show. So the next thing that happened was they had in city audition. So I auditioned in Chicago, and failed. And then I drove to Indianapolis for an audition and failed. And I always tell the story of on the way home, I stopped at Taco Bell. I don't recommend this for anyone, and had a Taco Bell Grande burrito and a Mountain Dew to fuel me on the way home. And I got home at two in the morning and threw up the Taco Bell. And (Lesley: Yeah.) so in my mind, it's like, well, I have suffered for the cause they're going to give me the, I'm gonna get the little card in the mail that says, "You made it." (Lesley: Yeah.) That's not how it worked.Lesley Logan  We don't need to, we don't have to suffer for the cause to get the car. We don't have to. (Phil: No, no.) Quickly to interrupt. I just want to say like, (Phil: Sure) I think I think correct, there is a there is a downside to obsession that can be a little bit but like if you're obsessed with a goal, and that isn't that is something that you that isn't going to hurt anybody else. It's just awesome for you. (Phil: Right.) Like there is a difference. I think sometimes people are more of a bystander in their own goal. They're they're passionate, they like it, that it would be nice to have it. But there's the jumping over that line to be like so focused on it to actually drive to two different cities to do in person. You make me think of the kids who did like American Idol. And they edition like seven times, you know?Phil Barth  You're right. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And, and you're going after it. And so when I did finally, there was a space of time between the Indianapolis and the next audition, which was in Cleveland, Ohio. And I learned, right, I went up to Google wasn't huge back then. But there were message boards, etc. And so I was like, "I'm gonna find out what people are doing to pass this audition. Because obviously, what I'm doing isn't working." And so I spent some time, I investigate and learn. And what I learned was a couple things. The first thing they do with any Who Wants to Be a Millionaire audition is they give you a set of questions, multiple choice questions, all of which have already played on the show. So I was able to pass the test because I just remembered what I had watched. Then they take you into another room those who pass the test, and they give you an audition form, which is a bunch of small, small answer questions as a question types and a pencil. And so what I learned was just because they give you a pencil doesn't mean you have to use the pencil. So in Cleveland, I came there with a red marker, a highlighter, a four color pen, etc. And I dropped them on the table when they did it. And the guy sitting next to me, looked at that, looked at this pencil, they literally ah shit. Yes, and you cannot borrow my stuff. Right? So what ... And the second thing is you write on their what you want them to know about you. So when in between questions when Meredith Vieira is asking you a human interest story type question, you've got something that will play. And so I wrote that in red ink. And the producer comes in looks at the red ink, asked me about question, we have a great conversation. Two weeks later, I got the card in the mail, you're in the contestant pool. And I want to put on the show.Lesley Logan  That, so first of all, this is okay. So you did something different than what they were suggesting. And everyone I think you need to it doesn't matter what you're trying to do. This is very key a couple times I can think about it in my own life is one, we were trying to get a global entry card. And, you know, and Brad, the way he filled out the applications, he did all of our stuff in all caps. So we went in for the interview, they knew we were together. So like they did. They're like, "Oh, you guys are together." They liked it the whole thing. Here you guys go. It was like really this interesting thing. He's like Brad's a guy, always do it all caps, because it'll stand out amongst the list of people when they're going through. So if you're filling out some online, you can do all caps, it's not going to affect anything. The other thing that I did was when I got my, when I got my first commercial, I had done zero auditions. I had done zero classes, I just went and the only thing that I did was I heard of them ordering lunch, as I was walking in to, to do the audition. And I just said, "Oh, that place has really great waffles." Just so happened. I knew the place. I just it just and I know it's lunchtime, but like, who doesn't want to have a waffle? So anyways, I got a call back, you guys, I cannot cook, I booked a commercial being a chef. Because they liked the conversation. And so sometimes we are, you get a little like, you get too much in the weeds of something you forget that like actually, there's a you got to get through the door first. And to get to that door, you've got to be different. You got to do something differently than everyone else. This is so cool. Red ink, I love it.Phil Barth  Absolutely. Yeah, I love that story. You gotta be a little different. The other thing and this goes right into the keynote is you got to have a way I call it a frying the chicken, right? There's all these voices inside, but you can't do it, all the answer the other one and 20,000 ... And you got to fry him, you got to have ways to just get that the voices inside. If you can't calm the voices and, and the negativity, the fear, the negativity and the self doubt inside of you, you're not going to be able to get there. And so I had to do that. And I've done that in multiple things. You know, I was afraid to ask my wife out on a first date. And I had to calm that down. And oh, you're gonna get friends on ... And and what I tell people is, there's a bigger chicken that you need to worry about than anything you're putting yourself out there. And that chicken is regret. You're lying on your deathbed and it didn't happen. You know, I couldn't, I shouldn't, I wouldn't. Right. (Lesley: Yeah.) I didn't give it my best. And that's the thing you need to be afraid of. Be afraid of having regrets at the end. And when you put it in that way, it's like, okay, that's a way worse thing to avoid bigger chicken. That's a turkey ... (Lesley: Yeah.) Right. (Lesley: Yeah.) I need to be afraid of that. I need to take care of those chickens that are holding me back from doing my best and hitting that goal.Lesley Logan  Oh my gosh, I want to take a step back but I love this. It's like you, you're talking about talk getting the voices down because it can be your own, or it could be others and like wanting 20,000 to me sounds very doable. It's like it's way different than a lottery. Like I would never, I don't play the lottery because it's like, even when it gets really big. It's like it's one in a 500,000 person chance. Like, I could get struck by a plane first. Like, I'm not gonna bring it on myself, but like, truly, so I but when I'm 20,000 sounds doable. But yes, it's your voice or the people around you because you're gonna have those negative people, like I'm sure as you're studying, and you're not getting further, I'm sure you had other people in your life where like, "You're gonna keep going, Phil, like, like this, let this go."Phil Barth  And the thing was, I told everybody, you know, you need, you need to at least have an accountability partner for whatever you're doing. And that was, of course, my wife. But I told everybody I'm like, and again, that was I didn't want to have to go back to everybody later and say, "Well, I quit." And into your point, some of the people were kind of like, "Oh, okay, that's nice." You know, patting you on the head. It's like, okay, I know, you're someone I can't count on if I'm gonna go all out for this. And other people, like, "How can I help you?" Right. And it was really good and then I had somebody ... you know. Everybody talked about those wild goals that could have. You did it. And it was like I could tell and believe you, but you did. (Lesley: Yeah.) And so yeah, I had this whole army of people, I felt like they were all behind me. But you're right. Some of them like ... right. But but you gotta know. Right. Who's gonna who's really got your back?Lesley Logan  I think that's so key if you and like, also being really kind yourself to protect yourself I'm going to those people who don't when you've got something going on. And I think it can we can slip into this like, out of habit. Well, I always go to my sister about things so I'm gonna go but if your sister not, not my sister, but other people's sisters might be like, the person who says the thing that you are most afraid of like, aren't you? Like, aren't you afraid to like wasting your time, like that was a waste of money like whatever and like you can go oh, you know, so you you haven't built a muscle up yet to protect your your vision, your dream, your goal, you really have to make sure you are clear on who you're telling it to.Phil Barth  Exactly, exactly. And a lot of times, people I don't want to sound sinister, but there's some people who don't want to see you get ahead, because then it makes them look bad, right? Oh, you did this and I never had the nerve, right? So they're gonna pull you back down. I want to pull you back down to my level so that I don't have to do anything big. (Lesley: Yeah.) So you just need to ignore those people and say, you know, I'm going to find the people that are going to help pull me up.Lesley Logan  I love that. So what happens next? You put the reading. You got the call back. How did it .. Well, I'm sure our listeners like, "Did he get on the show?"Phil Barth  Oh, yes, he did. Yeah. So it was summer when I got the, "Hey, you're going into contest the pool." And it was November. And I remember I was working out at the Y. And I didn't have a cell phone. This is pre cellphone days. That's how long ago was. And my wife called the Y and said he needs to call the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire contestant lineback. They want him in New York. And like the Y's like, "Holy cow!". And so they come and find me. And I tried calling them back. And eventually, I connected with them. And they said yeah, here's the here's where where you gonna fly. They flew you up at the time, they put you in the hotel. And here's how it's all gonna work. And it's cool to come walking off the plane and have somebody with Mr. Barth on the ... "Your limo is ready, sir." Yes. (Lesley: That's so fun.) I know, right. And so yeah, you spend a couple of days there because they shoot four episodes per day when they're shooting. So the first day, you're just in the greenroom. And they're telling you, look, unless we got a run of people who crap out, you're not gonna get on today, but we just need to have enough contestants so that we can shoot the four shows. (Lesley: Right.) So first day, yeah, you just back there, you're making friends, basically. Second day, they okay, here's the order. And a new group comes in because just in case we all crap out. And so one at a time in the greenroom is like two buildings away. They, they don't want any cheating. Right. (Lesley: Wow) So you're in the greenroom. And all you're doing is talking or watching the show. And what happens is, you've very quickly made friends of these people that you're in the room together with, and so you see somebody that you're like, I think it's seeing no, no, no, don't say it, don't say you're gonna go home with $1,000. The final answer like oh, man, right? Or, or somebody else gets six figure payoff. You're like, Oh, that is so cool for this person.Lesley Logan  Yeah. That's so fun.Phil Barth  Yeah, eventually, it's like, you're up, right? And you're actually in the behind the scenes, because they don't know when the person in the hot seat is going to stop. So they bring you out and you talk with Meredith Vieira. And this is where the be it till you see it really, really helped me because I saw myself in the hot seat, looking at the questions, answering the questions, and, and being able to do this, and I over and over and over again. I practice that. And so what happened was, I mean, I think you could really get freaked out, right? If you stopped to think that a million people are gonna watch a show. And this is real money, etc. You can get freaked out. So what I did was before each question, she's asking it and the cameras on her, I closed my eyes for a second. And the thought was, as soon as I open my eyes, this is just like the practice at home. There's me, there's a question, there's nobody else. And it helped and it calm me down. And so I got on a roll. I needed the all I asked the audience like 4000 I think. Made it all the way to 32,000. And every time this was this was where you know, fate, lend the hand. Every time the question came up. I knew the answer before I saw the choices. It just happened to be stuff I knew. I was like, yes. So it was over two days. Because so it's like, Okay, we're done with this show. You run to the dressing room, change your clothes, come back and it's a new day, because you got a new outfit on obviously.Lesley Logan  Right. Right. Same audience. Same, yes. That's all it's, y'all this is how the sausage is made.Phil Barth  This is it, right. Guess what, it was not the next day. But we came you know come ... and I had the $32,000 question which I got. And I had two lifelines for the $64,000 question. It was a free guess. Here's the backstory. When I was in high school, I was on a, we had a quiz team that played other people in the Toledo, Greater Toledo, Ohio area. And all year long my senior year, the advisor said, this team is really good. But we need somebody who knows Greek mythology, you both need to know Greek mythology, and I'm a senior in high school, give me a break. So I didn't study it. And we still made it to the final four. There was never a Greek mythology question. So I showed him right. You know, you know, you know, right now, what the subject was for the $64,000 question is.Lesley Logan  Oh, my God. Ah, no. And so you're done. You didn't have anything ...Phil Barth  I, I had two lifelines. I not only didn't know Greek mythology, and that was the question. I hadn't made any friends who knew Greek mythology in ... in the 20 years. And so I took a guess. The phone friend didn't know it. 50 50 gave me a 50 50 shot, right. There were two I guess the wrong one because it was a free guess. Yeah. I walked out with $32,000.Lesley Logan  Right. And also like, that's more than most people because if like most people did drop out, they didn't make it past that 1000. And so like, all of your stuff, I think, obviously really helped you. I do have this question, though. Because I always wondered, do they do that music and lighting like in there on you like ... like, you know what I mean? Like, that's all I remember, like, oh my God, the stress of that.Phil Barth  100%, 100%. And that's why I close my eyes. And here's the deal. And I just remember thinking this like holy cow. At $64,000 they take it down a notch. I mean, you can see nothing, but you and Meredith Vieira. I was like, I'm thinking as the question goes, holy crap, it got really dark in here because they don't want any kind of signals from the audience all the game shows, gamble's and all that 64 grand is concerning real money and it is (Lesley: Yeah.) and so it got it gets really dark and the music is there and and the horn when it goes off. It's all that's all how it is.Lesley Logan  Oh my goodness. So okay, devastation that you missed that question, but you did get 32,000 which is like amazing. So after all this time, imagine at least over a year of your life like getting preparing yourself to be on this show. What happens next like, did you have like a hangover from like that? Like all the expectations that you had for it? Did you move on to another thing like what like what what ended up being the next thing for you?Phil Barth  I love that question. I know the answer ... that's an wesome question. (Lesley: Thank you.) So immediate ... immediate disappointment for if only I'd say Greek mythology, right. And, and when I called because my that quiz team advisor was one of my four different possibilities. He said, I would have laughed at you for 30 seconds. I don't know Greek mythology. I just told you you needed to learn it. But anyway, disappointment, right? Disappointment, and like, Oh, crap, I beat myself up. My wife comes back and she goes, we just got $32,000. Like, oh, yeah, I guess I don't need to be disappointed. Right. So so yeah, there's that. It was actually a three year quest, from 99 till 2002. So there is that like, Oh, what am I going to do next for a little bit? And what happened was a while later, a friend of mine came into my office at work, he said, "Hey, you want to run a triathlon with me?" I'm like, "Hey, you want to go get drug checked?" But I did it ...Lesley Logan  You did triathlon after that. You got you just like moved on to a new thing.Phil Barth  Eventually, the new thing presented itself and and it was a mini triathlon. Yeah. (Lesley: That's good.) 6 miles, 6 miles of running. Yeah. It is nothing. Six miles ... six miles running, 18 bike. But but yeah, and so it's like in the back of your mind. Okay. I have had a couple of really big ideas. Number one, asking my wife out what it was nervous as hell. Number two, the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Okay, I'm gonna try a triathlon and, and so yeah, eventually, your next bolhag presents itself. Now what I tell people is, you may not find the bolhag right then. So look for a low hag or some little hairy ass goals ... (Lesley: Yeah.) And make those little checkmarks and get a victory log, write it down, put it in there. We, a couple of years ago, I got frustrated with my favorite football team. But if they do every year, the Cleveland Browns. But anyway, you know, they were in the middle of a suck streak. And I said this year is going to be different. And you know, normally I make it through the first half of the first game and it was different. I made it through the first quarter. It's just like, no. And so I told my wife, I said, "Look, every Sunday from here on out, I'm not going to watch football." She's like, "Right." I said, "No, I'm not. Every Sunday afternoon, we're going to have a little project and we're going to do something together in some way make our house, our family, whatever better." So a whole series of low hags and I need to tell you, and this was 2019. So again, fates gonna play ... We painted, the repainted the basement, and then I build a home office just because I wanted to have a home office in the basement. I'm upstairs right now but I have a home office in the basement. (Lesley: Yeah.) Pre pandemic, we just happened to put together a nice home office in the basement ...Lesley Logan  That is amazing.Phil Barth  But I mean, every ... every week, it was this little, little thing. It's just checking off obviously, that is so cool.Lesley Logan  I think that's amazing. Because I think people get a little upset, like, they are down on themselves when they can't think of what they want to do in a year when they can't think of what they want to be in 10 years. Like, there's some people just like, have this block around it. And like, I have to figure this out. And it's like, like something like, like, I gotta find my purpose isn't it's like, what if you like, if it's that hard? And if it stresses you out that much? What if you just found something small to do? Like, what if you figure what would want to do in a month? And what if you figure (Phil: I love it) so that's so cool. And I love you guys did that. Also way good timing for that. But I just really think that like what a great point to make because it can be tricky. If you're if you're listening to this right now. And you're like in a valley right now. And you're like, I don't really know what my next thing is, it's like, well, then just pick a little thing that really interests you and try it out. Like I think we forget that we can try things on for size. You know what I mean?(Phil: Oh, absolutely.) Like we forget, you used to go to the store, used to load up a dressing room and used to try things on, come out, look at it and see if you liked it. Like you used to do that. Now we're like, I gotta buy it online, it comes to me and I better like ... ship it back. (Phil: Right. Right. Yeah.) So I think we forget that, that that's an option. I love that so much. So, um, so I also want to highlight your wife celebrated with you. Because I think a lot of times we do get disappointed in what we worked so hard on if it doesn't meet the things we want it. But if you have someone around you to help celebrate, it really does make it easier to move on to your next thing.Phil Barth  Yeah, and somebody to support you because it took a fair amount of time to do all the studying and everything I wanted to do and she supported me all the way. And, and the day of the Cleveland audition, I was getting ready to drive and she said, "You know what? I'm not gonna go." I've I've tried this what why am I gonna fish and said, "Get in the car and go, it's your dream, go get it." And you know, that was the final push. So ...Lesley Logan  That's why we need, what's why we really do need to have a few good people around us to remind us because we can get in our own way. You just it's so easy to to get in your own way. I love that so much. So so what are you, so now that the little, you did the low hags? What are you working on right now? Like, what are you being it till you see it right now? What's that look like?Phil Barth  A book. I wrote the we ... I don't know if we can talk about the book. But I wrote a book we call it a best sort of selling book. It's called Great Things Happen Every Day. And and it's best sort of selling because we put it out on Amazon, we put it out on the free Kindle book list. And in five days, it 1000s of copies. Right. And I remember waking up I was in Seattle and I looked at my phone. I was like holy crap. I did over 1000 free copies yesterday. Right? And so I went and that just blew me away when it went to number one on the bestseller list of free Kindle books about stress management. And I said, is that a best seller? You know, Kindle says yes. But my bank says no, because I earned sold 1000s of copies or in zeros of dollars. So I say it's the best sort of selling ... (Lesley: I love that so much.) Yeah, everybody say their best selling author, I'm a best source on international because somebody in Canada took when to international best sort of selling author, right? You go, but then I thought about it was like, okay, 1000s of people have taken this book and the book was to help people with their stress. Holy crap. That's a win. Right? (Lesley: It's a win.) It didn't get me a new convertible, but it's a win. (Lesley: Yeah.) And so the new one, the next one is another book, and it's going to be called Fry Your Chickens. And it's about it's what we've been talking about, and how to calm those voices inside. Find your bolhag, try some low hags etc, and just how to get the life you deserve. And I hope this one is a best seller. But hey, if I'm a two time international best selling author, and a few 1000 people read it. I'm good with that.Lesley Logan  You know what I think? There was I'm trying to think of the author. But it's not coming to my mind right now. But she got so famous off this one book. And she had written all these other books before. And everyone's like, "Oh my god, this is the best book." I can't like, "This is amazing." Like, "How did you even get to writing this best selling book?" And she's like, "Well, I wrote four other books that very few people bought." (Phil: Yeah.) Like, she's like I have, they're actually selling really well now because people like this book, but like I've been, I didn't just this isn't my first rodeo like (Phil: Right.) I have other ones. So I do I do love that. I think um, you know, it's, it's so hard to no matter how old we are or what we've gone through. It's so hard to remind yourself that like, no one's an overnight success. It's 10 years of work that got them to where it is. And you know what? I think when you say your best sort of selling author actually makes people listen ... Like, wait, what did you just say? So that's so cool. Okay, I can talk to you more. I mean, I would love like I mean obviously just to get to stress, but we'll definitely make sure our people can hear where they can buy your book in just a moment. All right, Phil. So where can people find you, follow you get your amazing, best sort of selling book?Phil Barth  So easiest places, just go to www.philbarth.com. I love the website. All I did was write a check. So it's good if I had developed it. I know I mean ... but no. But philbarth.com. It's also available on Amazon. And those are the easiest ways I'm on Facebook, ... like for a second? But but all of the links come off at philbarth.com.Lesley Logan  Perfect. That's so easy. And then is that where the people can find your book?Phil Barth  Yes, yeah, it'll take you to the Amazon page, to get it. Or philbarthbooks.com will take you right to my author page.Lesley Logan  Wonderful. Thank you so much. Okay, before I let you go. Bold, executable, intrinsic, targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it. What do you have for us?Phil Barth  Okay, so, so here's the, here's the ones. And everybody talks about having a bucket list and you need to. But you also need to have and it was an Irish guy that introduced it to me. And he always say that you need to have a bucket list. Things that you no longer want that are not serving you, things you no longer want to be, things you no longer want to do, things you no longer want to have. And if you don't like that, where you can call it a chuckit list because I have a whiteboard in my home office. And I get the big ol volcano drawn. And then I just list, here are the things that I'm going to chuck into the volcano. (Lesley: Oh, I love this.) You need to make room for what's on the bucket list. And for the next bolhag so that you can throw yourself at that one and not spend time and everybody knows the things they do that it's like you look at it and I go too, right. It is playing this game on my phone really taking me to where I need to be and nothing wrong with an occasional game. But but what are you going to get rid of what is no longer serving you so that you can focus on the bolhag? That's the biggest one. The second one is, and this goes for stress. This goes for goals. You need to start your day right. There's there's a study done by Harvard University, Sean Achor, Google the study, they divided people into two groups, those who started their day with negative news, versus those who started the day with solution focused news. Three minutes was all it took, 27% more likely the people with the bad news, 27% more likely to have a bad day. If you want to get after your bo hag, you need to start your day off positively. You know, pet the dogs, enjoy a cup of coffee and read a book, meditate, little exercise, yoga, something at the start of the day to get yourself off on the right foot. And you're going to be after that. Bo Hag every time.Lesley Logan  I love that. That's such an interesting, I forgot about that study. That's such a great reminder. Because I do I do agree. Like I think you can even even if you're like but I need to listen to the news. It's like okay, great. But before you hit play, take three to five minutes to listen to something really good. So that you already have like, something in there to combat that stuff because it's so important to be informed. But sometimes that information can actually make you make decisions about your bolhag that the news has nothing to do with.Phil Barth  Exactly. 100%Lesley Logan  So you're such an amazing storyteller. I can't wait to read your next book, Fry Your Chicken. I will say this, you should look up there's a bird, it's a bird in New Zealand. It's an extinct that looks almost like an ostrich dinosaur and it can be the big bird that you're trying to like picture like, so I'll you've got to find it because when I was in New Zealand I went to the bird thing in Wellington, sorry for my New Zealanders you're like, "Lesley it's called this." It's a it's a sanctuary, it's amazing. I went this tour and they show this prehistoric bird that I'm so sad is gone because it's pretty ugly, but it looks really fucking cool.Phil Barth  I'm gonna totally look that up.Lesley Logan  Yeah, you can just for pictures, just for people to pick their, to pick the thing that they want to fry the chickens to get towards.Phil Barth  You can fry this bird is already extinct.

Finishing a triathlon is a grueling achievement, only accomplished by those who are in peak physical and mental condition. Once finished, the top of the top go on to train for an Ironman, arguably the toughest triathlon on the planet. One hundred and forty miles of pain and pressure, broken up into a two-mile swim, a one hundred and twelve-mile bike ride, and a twenty-six-mile run. This is not a race for the faint of heart, and if you can finish just one, you have bragging rights forever.What would it take for someone to finish not one ironman, not two, not ten, not twenty, but 100 consecutive Ironman races, back to back? Wake up, swim, bike, and run over one hundred and forty miles, go to sleep, and do it all over again. That's what James “Iron Cowboy” Lawrence did, smashing through world records and personal goals.James sits down with Brandon and David today to talk about mental toughness, creating goals that scare you, gradually working your way up to mastery, and asking “what am I willing to sacrifice to reach the end?” James had to run a business, take care of his seven-person family, and compete for more than a quarter of a year straight. If he can conquer one of the greatest physical and mental feats the world has ever witnessed, what's stopping you from accomplishing your goals?In This Episode We Cover:Pushing yourself past the limit to see what you're truly capable ofBreaking multiple world records and developing mental toughness Why your goals should scare you enough to pursue themWhy you don't need to 10x your output and the importance of small stepsFinding what you're willing to sacrifice to reach your goalWhy every great athlete, entrepreneur, and leader needs a rockstar team Choosing the person who “doesn't break” under hard circumstancesAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets BookstoreOpen Door CapitalBiggerPockets PerksBiggerPockets InsightsBiggerPockets BooksBiggerPockets Podcast 485: Atomic Habits That Help You Achieve Unthinkable Success w/ NYT Best Selling Author James ClearJames “Iron Cowboy” Lawrence's WebsiteClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show507See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Episode 181 of Building My Legacy.In this podcast we talk again with David Greer, entrepreneurial coach, author and facilitator, who in a recent podcast shared his struggle with alcoholism. This time David gives us an in-depth look at the planning process he uses to help businesses achieve high performance and growth. David believes that, to thrive, a business needs to look ahead at least three years, then work back to a one-year plan and only then do quarterly planning. The offsite planning sessions he conducts with management teams follow a strategic process that allows leaders to look farther down the road, discover and implement a core set of values, get to the root of the real challenges, and identify the one number — or KPI — that has the biggest impact on business revenue and profitability. So if you want to know:The importance of making a commitment to a strategic planning processWhy you need to focus on profitability rather than revenue growthThe role a “Who, What and When?” document can play in your strategic planHow to identify the KPI you should focus on and the importance of putting in place a system to measure itWhy every employee needs to show how their daily work relates to a corporate goalWhy you should “hire for culture first, skill second” About David GreerDavid Greer joined Robelle, a leading provider of HP3000 solutions, when it was still a start-up and he was studying computer science in college. He eventually became a co-owner and was president of this company until he sold out in 2001. Today David has a mission: to take his 35 years of entrepreneurial experience and share it with other entrepreneurs to accelerate their success. He understands that, working with him, you'll feel equally scared and hopeful — scared at the audacity of your dreams and hopeful because he's in your corner to help your dreams become real. A life-long sailor, David relates his personal experiences — in business and in life — to the challenges of growing a business. Successful entrepreneurs learn to harness their efforts to seamlessly blow them in the direction they want to go. You can learn more in his book, Wind In Your Sails, and on his company website, coachdjgreer.com About Lois Sonstegard, PhDWorking with business leaders for more than 30 years, Lois has learned that successful leaders have a passion to leave a meaningful legacy. Leaders often ask: When does one begin to think about legacy? Is there a “best” approach?

Do you find you are collecting skill sets to achieve future success and positions in your career? But what happens when the internal steam for your chosen career runs out mid-career? How do you navigate into a new path? I interviewed my best friend's husband about his 18 year career in higher education only to realize his career path was not fulfilling. He decided to go back to school in his late thirties as a married father of two children in order to build a brand-new, unrelated career path for himself. This insightful conversation is for anyone questioning their career midway through it. I'm so proud of Michael for being able to take the leap and share his brave story.Michael KoluchMichael is an IT professional, skilled presenter/trainer, and experienced project manager.

Michael is a proud father of two children and a husband to my best friend Amanda.
