Today I'm excited to be presenting the concluding episode of our ongoing series on Pythagorean Philosophy. As with each of the earlier episodes in this series, today's show is based around a written article that you can read (for free) on my Substack/blog. The main topic of this episode is on the Golden Ratio (i.e. the Golden Section or Divine Proportion). Over the next 90+ minutes, I explain what the Golden Ratio is, how it's measured, and why, in Esoteric Philosophy, it is considered significant and sacred. As part of our discussion, we'll be going into the work of Scott Olsen (author of the excellent book "The Golden Section: Nature's Greatest Secret") to show how the Golden Ratio is cleverly referenced - in a vague and concealed manner - in works written over 2000 years ago by the great Athenian philosopher Plato. In these writings, Plato points us toward the esoteric significance of Phi and hints at why it was regarded with such high regard by the Mystery Schools, who forbade him and others from discussing it in an open and straightforward manner. I hope you'll stay tuned for this discussion. Please also check out the written article, linked above.Thank you, - Alex Sachonwww.alexsachon.com

Dougal Cameron created Golden Section to provide support and practical funding to SaaS founders with deep experience in select vertical markets. Their founder-first approach is different than the traditional VC or private equity investment model which often doesn't work out well for founders in the end. Dougal's family had been investing in software companies for over 20 years through their Houston-based family office. Now Golden Section includes a founders studio for venture development, a world-class software product development service, and optional equity funding for B2B SaaS founders with deep domain experience in their industries. This is an example of one of many possible ways that funding can be practical and helpful for founders who want to accelerate growth but don't want to play the unicorn-hunting grow-or-die game required by most venture capital investors. "Our capital needs to look very different than the traditional venture capital side, where 66% of the time venture-backed founders make nothing when their company sells. And that's companies that get to an exit," says Dougal. "I think that's a horrible statistic that really reveals some of the problems in the venture capital industry. It doesn't make a ton of sense for founders who see a clear problem that they know very well and they know people are going to buy their solution." In this episode, Dougal explains: Why traditional venture capital investment is not a good fit for certain kinds of software businesses The hard lessons he has learned from years of investing in software companies and running software companies himself How they have designed their investment model to support founder-friendly exits where everyone can win: founders, investors, employees, vendors, and customers How they provide deep support for the founders they partner with, including software development services, growth advisory, and execution advice in every aspect of the company What Golden Section does to support the brutally hard emotional journey that all founders go through as they grow their companies Find the show notes for this episode at practicalfounders.com.   

How do we designate something, whether it's a painting, a sculpture, or a piece of music as beautiful? Where have our ideas of beauty arisen over the course of human evolution? How do we as individuals decide that something is beautiful to us compared to our neighbors?

Along the same line, his ideal customers are those who focus on value over cost—those who are focused on the timelessness of what may just be their forever home.Asked his opinion on the future of home design, particularly in a post-COVID world, Jeff says that “we need to get more distance between ourselves and these events to truly, fully comprehend what they are really doing—and have done—to our psyches.”People now truly look at their home as a sanctuary, and the market has changed to reflect these developing tastes, which include an explosion in demand for pools and home offices.An artist at his core, Jeff believes that “inspiration is the fuel for a creative spirit,” and points to nature as his ultimate source of that inspiration.Topics Discussed:[03:27] Defining “timeless design”[06:50] The “Golden Section” and the “Rule of Thirds” in art[13:43] Setting expectations with clients[18:26] Knowing when a client is the right fit[25:21] The future of home design[34:30] How growing up on a farm impacted Jeff creativity and work ethic[40:19] When and why Jeff decided to go into architecture and grew his passion for art[50:22] Jeff's early career[55:34] Jeff's advice to young architects who want to start their own company[01:02:07] Jeff's exciting upcoming projectsConnect with Guest:Website: https://www.jeffreydungan.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JeffreyDunganArchitects/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeffreydungan/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/jeffreydungan/_created/Connect with Brad Leavitt:Website - https://www.aftconstructionpodcast.com/Instagram - https://instagram.com/aft_constructionFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/aftconstructionHouzz - https://www.houzz.com/pro/aft-construction/aft-constructionPinterest - https://www.pinterest.ph/AFT_CONSTRUCTION/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzB4R_DHPVV1SPh7RUfR5jgKey Quotes by Jeff:Especially in America, where we've got a fake version of everything, if there's anything we shouldn't be faking, it's stone.I've got more ideas than you've got money. [...] I want to make a place that's going to basically change your life. To me, you can't put a price on that. Let's talk about something infinitate and way more meaningful than costs.I want to have a conversation not about the cost of the thing, but the value of it.There is something about nature that refurbishes our spirit.Inspiration is the fuel for a creative spirit. [...] Where do we get that inspiration from? There are many sources, but I think that nature is supreme.If you don't say “no” to the wrong things, you can't say “yes” to the right things.

Songwriting: In this episode Joe analyzes the classic work "Hallelujah". Discussed is the abstract symbolism of the lyrics which have been analyzed in so many forums, speaking of Cohens brilliant linking of musical imagery, sex and religion. Along with alluding to these discussions, Joe does a thorough investigation of the the musical architecture and construction of the various musical elements.

Twyla Tharp's mother first put her in dance classes when she was a child living in Southern California. "I've always been highly programmed," Twyla told me. But when she got to New York and realized her ballet skills weren't "top drawer," she decided to dig into modern dance and began studying with legendary dancers like Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham. "I said to myself, 'Well, okay, Merce does great what he does, and Martha does great what she does, but I don't want to do what they do,'" she said. "And I think ultimately that's how I became my own dancing person."In the six decades since, she's done exactly that—and she's not done yet. Now 78, Twyla joined me from our studio in New York to talk about the start of her prolific career back in the mid-60s, the logistics of raising her son as a single parent while touring internationally, and how now, at 78, she's learning to deal with new physical limitations. Here is an excerpt of Twyla's first work, Tank Dive (1965): And here is a bit of The Golden Section (1983): You can check out more of Twyla's work on her website.  Looking for our Valentine's Day project?

On this episode of Investor Connect, Hall welcomes Dougal Cameron of Golden Section Ventures. Dougal came to investing through his family, which provided him operational insight into an investor perspective. Dougal talks about how he and Isaac Shi founded Golden Section Ventures and came into the B2B Enterprise SaaS space. Dougal provides advice investors in the B2B Enterprise space. He highlights the need for 'healthy skepticism', finding partners that know the end user market, and resisting the urge to chase investments down round. Finally, Dougal advises investors to seek out founders that are very invested, and that have no way out but to make the deal a success.

The wonder of a mathematical formula found in nature.

Subscribe on iTunes.The subject of today's podcast is a little pet-peeve of mine, the myth of talent, something about which I already ranted in the past. This topic was brought to my mind again by reading a blog post by my friend Fabrizia Costa.Fabrizia mentions that someone left her a comment saying basically that talent is necessary to get anywhere in photography and her reply is as follows:“This is the view held by many photographers, and to some extent it's true but I believe that talent is overrated. Yes, you do need something special to be exceptional, there’s no doubt about that, but you don’t need that to be a success in this world.We all have some talent, every single one of us, and the issue here is that many have not yet found out what their talent is and how to use it. In reality, hidden talent will emerge when we get down to work, take action, commit, learn, train, and put hours into it.They say that if you do something for 10,000 hours you become an expert. And that’s probably true, in terms of learning a skill and gaining specific knowledge about something, but that’s only about 50% of what we need to succeed in our business. The other 50% is what goes on in your head, what you believe you can and cannot do, and being open to receive. We’re so bad at receiving, we self-sabotage a lot. Negative talk in our heads will undermine all the work we do, but if we do the work and keep those voices down, there’s really no limit to what we can achieve.We all know wonderful talented people who are struggling to make ends meet, or who can’t make a living out of their art and have to work a 9-5 job to survive. So is talent the defining factor? It’s quite clearly not the case!Success is not just for the talented, it’s for everyone who’s willing to step further and put themselves out there and dare to be great. Your talent will emerge, grow and shine as you do the work, but your ability to generate wealth, or whatever your idea of success may be, lies much deeper than what you’re good at doing.Whether you feel you’re talented or not, be aware it’s not the deciding factor in a successful business and life. Some even use that as an excuse to hold back! For years I didn’t even try to do things that I wanted to do because I kept saying I’m not good at them. And while I may still not be very good at them now (you don’t want to hear me sing), if I invested time and I trained with a teacher I would definitely become better… and eventually maybe even good!”So, as this is an issue about which I am passionate, I picked up the phone to call Fabrizia and ask her a few more questions about it. You can listen to the recording of our conversation above, or read the transcript below. If you do, I would love to hear your feedback. Please leave a comment here, no matter if you agree with us or if you think we are completely nuts!Ugo: The other day you wrote a beautiful post on your Facebook group “Outside the Box”, titled “Talent is overrated”. Your words immediately resonated with me. A few years ago I wrote a post on my blog titled “The Myth of Talent” and I swear you could have written mine and I could have written yours. What prompted you to write that post?Fabrizia: Well the day before it was actually the day of the ladies' final at Wimbledon so I wrote a post about crucial moments. Really it was about a tennis match: sometimes there is a ball that is a really important ball and it's worth a lot more than just that point. Because from that point on, if you get it, you could win; if you lose it, you could fall apart. That's exactly what happened to Serena Williams: she lost two balls and that was the end of the match. She lost the match, after that she fell apart. But this happens so much in tennis. And it made me think that in business we also have a lot of opportunities where we can take a risk or we don't take the risk and if we take risks we have a chance of winning big things. And some people just don't do it and we lose some crucial moments that can take us ahead.And then there was a comment on that, somebody saying: “Yeah that's all good and well but you need talent to go further in photography.” And so that made me think that's the way a lot of people think. But to me talent is overrated. And so that's why I wrote the post because, like you said in your own post, it's a myth that you need talent to get anywhere in in photography and in business. There was then a comment on this post saying: “To be out of this world, you need a lot of talent.” Yes. But we're not talking about being Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg.We're talking about running a successful business. You don't have to be exceptional to do that. You can do the work and get where you need to be and be very successful. There's a ton of people that make a lot of money have great successful businesses and you don't know who they are. They're not famous but they do it right. So that's why I post that. It's a bit of a long story.U: It's really true. I completely agree. But every time I mention this topic, I am amazed at the amount of negative reactions I get. It compares to backlash I get when I say the Golden Section is a myth. It looks like people are really fond of the notion that you have to have innate talent to succeed, even though they cannot justify in any other way than by saying it is self-evident. Why do you think it’s so?F: Absolutely. And this opens up a whole big can of worms because it's an easy way to justify your lack of success. So it's very easy to say “I don't have enough talent and therefore I cannot be successful” or “it's not working for me because I don't have much talent as a photographer. I'm not good enough.” That's what it means: “I'm not good enough.” And that goes back into the whole issue of self value which is a huge thing and it's at the bottom of all this argument, because that is everybody's problem. Lack of self value and what we believe we cannot do because we're not good enough. It will affect our communication, our connection with clients, our prices that we set, the products that we offer, the way we run our business, the way we do not really believe that we can do it and therefore we're not going to do it right.So the value that we place on our work and the value that we place on ourselves is really the core issue. I think it goes down to that. The superficial comment is: “Oh, you need talent.”. In fact the the self-value and all that kind of stuff is really big in the work that nobody wants to do because you need to get down there and you really need to think and you really need to work on yourself and realize the value that you got and bring it out. And that is a different kind of a work and I end up doing this with pretty much every single one of the people that I coach because we always go and we always get to a point when this thing comes out.So it's easy to blame it on the lack of talent. In reality it is people not really wanting to deal with their issues and self-worth. And I think that's what's come up.U: I love that we basically reached the same conclusions, but maybe coming from different directions, because my conviction that a talent is largely a myth was inspired by my mentor, Robin Griggs Wood. She said she had missed a lot of opportunities in her life because of the blocks that other people put in her way. They didn't think enough of her. They didn't give her opportunities and space and the training to reach her true potential. And the fact that people discount other people because they think they don't have talent makes her sad. She's fighting against that. You seem to come from a different direction, where you see the blocks that people themselves put in front of their own path. So not so much the blocks that others put, but I think that these are equally important, equally heavy to lift if not even more so. It's great that we we see we see the same effect, but coming from different directions.F: I think there are things that people put in our way and it's mainly in our childhood and our self value is built up when we are children and teenagers and those are the crucial years. So if we've had parents or teachers or figures of authority in our lives that have put us down, we don't think much or value us, then that's certainly something that people put in our way, that blocks. Somebody keeps telling you: “You can't sing, you can't sing. You know you're out of tune.” A child will not be listening to music and will not be trying to sing and will not be learning to sing and will be out of tune. It's just the way it works. If somebody is encouraged to do something, even if they're mediocre they will become better.And that's just the way it works. So there are things that people put in our way, especially when we're younger, but I think in the end those are the voices in our heads that, even when our parents are gone and all those people are gone, we keep listening to. We replay these and these are all our choice. It's our own subconscious that keeps telling us the same stuff 10, 20, 30 years later and it's not the truth. So in a way we are putting that stuff in our way and we use these things as an excuse because to overcome that we need to face it, to face the fact that is not true and that we need to get over ourselves. And it's a whole lot of work and it can be painful and it can be challenging. And so a lot of people don't really want to do it. Instead they complain about the lack of talent and just hide.U: According to you how can people help themselves remove those blocks?F: Well it's facing it and realizing that once you see something, like I say in Outside the Box, once you see something you can't unsee it. Some people get a therapist, some people get a coach. A lot of people work with me and that's what we do. And some people do self-therapy, journaling and trying to work out what goes on in the head. There's many ways to remove blocks.The first thing you do is identify that you have blocks and realize that you have these things and that you're using some things as excuses not to, because it's down to fear. You fear showing up. That's another thing: you need to show up and it's fearful. Once you're out there, people are gonna judge you and people don't like to be judged. And so it's easier to say I don't have enough talent to show up and just stay in your own little thing and be a victim and never be successful and complain. But it's never your fault, it's because you don't have talent.U: Absolutely. I think we could have a long academic discussion and science papers about the relative weight of nurture versus culture and what is in our genes and so on. Of course, if you're not seven feet tall you can be an NBA center, but aside from those very specific cases, if I can interpret also your your words, what we're pointing out here is that you should not think that you don't have talent and therefore something is precluded to you. That you will never be able to reach certain goals, most reasonable ones at least. I cannot pretend to be Roger Federer. At least I could play decent tennis if in my youth I really wanted to do it. Every time somebody says they have no talent for this or that or that somebody else doesn't have any talent and we don't amount to much, we should always be ready to point out that it's a load of crap.F: I don't like to discount that as a superficial thing, but anybody can succeed in business, because even people that are not incredibly intelligent have succeeded in business and have run good photography businesses for many years. So there's no reason why anyone shouldn't do it. It's just the fact that you have to believe in what you're doing and you need to do it hundred percent and put the time and the effort in. But most of all believe it, as if you don't believe it you're not going to get it.U: You mentioned the coaching that you do. Can you just tell my audience how people can find more about your coaching activities, should they want to benefit from them?F: Yes. I don't I don't teach photography so I keep myself out of that because it's not photographers' teaching. I teach photography to amateurs locally but I don't do workshops of photography that much. But I do coach for business and I coach professional photographers only because it's about business obviously. So I have the group on Facebook called Outside the Box Evolution, one in English one in Italian,so you can go see it and find that. And I run workshops. It's two-day workshops in different cities. The next one is in Vienna in October and I'm just about to launch an online mastermind group just for 10 photographers who work with me for three to six months. And then I do one-to-one coaching, so there's different options and journeys that we could do together. I don't take on many people because I am a photographer and I still work as a photographer and I don't want to give that up because that's what I love. I love to do both things. I'm running two jobs at the same time. I couldn't choose one over the other. Yeah that's what I do.The post Talent is Overrated.

Why do certain buildings look more pleasing than others?  Why do paintings line up the way they do?  Why do nautilus shells and trees have certain characteritsics?  The list goes on and on, actually.  At the root of it all is geomtery and its nature.  They are all based on the most amazing geometrical concept of the golden mean or section.  This mathematical construct has been in existence since Euclid and it has taken its place in all the great pieces of art and architecture.  The golden ratio also is called the golden mean or golden section.  Other names include extreme and mean ratio medial section, divine proportion, divine section, golden proportion, golden cut, and golden number.  In this segment Chris Flisher interviews Scott Olsen about this fascinating topic and his book by the same title.    

We've come to the end of our hiatus. Thank you for all your kind words and the love that you sent while we have been going through this difficult time. Your love and support has meant so much to Mojo and I.  The Wigglian Way missed Pagan Values month but we did want to weigh in, so in this episode we talk about Forgiveness. We all will have to forgive or be forgiven at some point and how does that affect our spirituality? Of course,  we will give a brief review of Sun Wheel Pagan Arts Festival. It's difficult to give an unbiased account so we don't. Too many amazing friends!  Mojo and I take this time to thank Devin Hunter for all the work he has done on the Modern Witch podcast. Devin, remember that if/when you are ready to come back to podcasting you will be welcomed back with open arms. This we know.  Speaking of friends, we got to spend an entire weekend with Sooj and Ryan. As a surprise Betsy showed up at Chez Wigglian to perform with Sooj.  While we were on hiatus we were lucky enough to receive A LOT of music in the mail. Snail mail. A LOT.  To kick off the sharing of what we've received,  our Feature Album is Last Call by The Secret Commonwealth. In our first break we have Man Overboard and One Shot. To end the show we will hear Dubhachas (I'll Dream of Times Like This).  In our second break we hear from Myth Magic, Dragonfly, by Kan'nal and The Greenman by Michelle Mays from The Golden Section.  Thanks for walking The Wigglian Way!

Fibonacci the great mathematical genius, would enjoy, if he was still alive, giving an ear to this teaching. His interpose of taking the first two numbers and adding them, then taking the sum as a number factor and adding that to the last number of the prior two numbers and on into infinity has been shown to have many points of useful connections. Fibonacci launched his figures from this series to the discover of the Golden Section. The Angels Wars 1,2, and 3, seem to favor certain exponential factors that seem to parallel Fibonacci's horizontal outcropping, by using an existing source to advance in numbers to a forward increase. Lucifer's Satan plan to use an auto sequencer entailing a similar method like unto the Fibonacci sequences, via to move the atomic lattice of His Mantis creations forward in atomic codes difficult for opposition to crack is already known by certain Seer Prophets.

Lecture on the Golden Section; decide I want to see Beth; drive over; she invites me in with a smile; sit on the sofa with nothing to say — nothing changes; agree to do something sometime; really nice to see her again.
