OK Boomers we all know that we have been stumped by a certain new technology or that dreaded UPDATE to our Mac, any laptop, iPad.. Arba Cooper's motto is EMPOWERING BABY BOOMERS to BOOST BUSINESS. Let me introduce Digital Technologist Arba Cooper When Arba and I first met, Arba mentioned that she and her husband have a five year plan to buy a large property for "year round training and lodging."  As the former La Chatelaine of Le Petit Chateau inn, I was silently screaming DON'T DO IT… However.. they have their ideas firmly grounded in the training aspect.  That is a vital and key aspect of anyone with ambitions to start this beast (LODGING) of a project.  We eventually transitioned to current topics.. our different businesses.  I learned that Arba has a wealth of training information, talent, and practical experience as a trainer and website designer: seven years as a SCORE volunteer and engineer with Hewlett Packard.   https://arbacooper.com/home Here is a great link to learn more about Arba Cooper.  Foremost, today Arba Cooper focuses her Digital Technology practice on the Baby Boomers who are SOLOPRENEURS.  She focuses on their ability to learn what they need in technology for their businesses to succeed for their day to day functions. She teaches them how to use the technology that they can operate, use and manage on their own. She is not selling them a Ferrari.  More akin to a subaru and in the drivers seat, not the passenger seat. For instance, the technology hype is to create funnels or a huge email marketing program because that is what all the hype is about.” Oh you gotta have a funnel sales system”. Oh you gotta have an email marketing program”.  Both of these hypes are expensive and I know first hand as I was using KAJABI for $149 a month.   I was completely overwhelmed and not using any of these “ MUST HAVE” business applications. What I find so refreshing about Arba is her ability to help SOLOPRENEURS gain the technology that they can learn and manage without all the expensive and largely unused applications because “everyone else says “ ya gotta have this”. Her wide range of skills include web design, technology training, speaking, and acting. Arba has helped numerous entrepreneurs successfully launch and expand their businesses. Her unique skill is simplifying complex marketing concepts, making resources accessible, and easy to understand.  https://arbacooper.com/home   Kundalini Yoga REMOVING EMOTIONAL FATIGUE and FEAR OF the FUTURE https://youtu.be/XKkrT8TFnVE?feature=shared   Wine and Food  Bubbles - most women like bubbles .  Gruet from New Mexico is still one  of the best WINE   the best value and quality TRY GRUET ROSE NV Brut Rosé $17.00   CONACT Valerie Hail valerie@allinourminds.com www.allinourminds.com

The duration of instructional videos should ideally range from one to two minutes to accommodate teachers' busy schedules. Investments in technology during the COVID-19 pandemic significantly advanced the integration of digital tools in educational settings. The challenge lies not merely in providing technology but ensuring its effective utilization within educational frameworks. A focus on empowering teachers through tailored training is crucial for maximizing the benefits of new technology in classrooms. To foster engagement, technology must solve existing educational challenges rather than simply being used for its own sake.

This statistic was widely attributed to an internal report at Hewlett-Packard, although this claim has been shown to lack solid evidence and is likely based on a subjective observation rather than a rigorous study.

In this special crossover episode, Max Trescott, host of the Aviation News Talk podcast, appears as a guest on Dr. Tony Kern's Only Human podcast. The two aviation safety advocates engage in a candid, insightful conversation that bridges their shared backgrounds in aviation, safety culture, and leadership. The episode begins with a segment called “This Week in Safety Land,” spotlighting a tragic helicopter crash involving tourists over the Hudson River. The Director of Operations (DO) at the company involved chose to cease operations pending investigation, only to be overruled and fired by the CEO—prompting FAA intervention. Max and Tony reflect on this as a textbook example of the ongoing conflict between operational production and safety protection, a dynamic familiar in aviation, military, and corporate environments alike. They explore how profit-driven decisions often undermine safety, and how organizations with high-risk operations must prioritize a culture that empowers safety-conscious leadership. Tony shares a story of elephants at the San Diego Zoo sensing an earthquake before it was perceptible to humans—forming a protective circle around the young. Max likens this to the importance of organizational structures that support bottom-up safety communication. Drawing on his early career at Hewlett-Packard, he praises HP's open-door policy that encouraged employees to escalate safety issues when necessary. He stresses that open communication channels are essential, especially in high-risk domains. Max then shares his personal journey from a successful 25-year career at HP to full-time aviation after a layoff. What began as a side hobby teaching flying eventually evolved into a full-time vocation, spurred in part by a deeply personal tragedy: the death of a close friend and five others in a preventable aircraft accident. Max, who arrived on the crash scene within 45 minutes and attended multiple funerals that week, found a new purpose—preventing similar accidents by educating pilots. That experience drove Max to start Aviation News Talk, where he strives to deliver rich, actionable content on general aviation safety. His mission: to save lives by making safety knowledge accessible, engaging, and relevant to every pilot—from student to professional. He explains that his podcast is designed to offer “at least one nugget of value per episode” that listeners can apply immediately. Tony and Max discuss the unglamorous public perception of safety roles—often viewed as dull or punitive. Tony notes that safety officers are often assigned the job after incidents or during grounding periods. Max offers a reframing: don't lead with safety—lead with professionalism. If pilots strive to be excellent in their craft, safety naturally follows. “Do your job well, be curious, be disciplined,” Max says—traits that elevate both personal performance and safety outcomes. They turn to current trends, asking whether aviation is getting less safe. While total accident numbers may be down, Max points out that media coverage is up, and many general aviation (GA) accidents—especially runway excursions involving business jets—suggest continued risks. What matters more than raw numbers, he explains, is the accident rate per 100,000 hours flown, data that lags by over a year. For GA pilots, the accident risk remains significant, especially among newer or less experienced pilots. Looking forward, Max and Tony explore the safety challenges of tomorrow. Max debunks the idea of achieving a static “safe state” and explains that aviation is inherently dynamic—subject to changes in personnel, technology, weather, and processes. He highlights the importance of conducting safety assessments prior to changes in operations, procedures, or equipment. Quoting safety expert Todd Conklin, Max describes accidents as “the unexpected combination of normal aviation variability,” reinforcing the need for ongoing vigilance. Tony adds that while technological innovations—like AI, automation, and real-time training—offer efficiency, they don't guarantee increased safety. Often, humans simply push the margins when given better tools. He uses anti-lock brakes as an analogy: rather than driving more safely, people just drive faster. Similarly, faster, cheaper training methods could reduce experience levels without solving core human performance issues. The conversation closes with Max outlining the timeless characteristics of a great aviator: Judgment – the most critical trait, separating the skilled from the safe. Curiosity – a desire to learn, explore, and seek out knowledge. Discipline and consistency – following procedures and making flights “boring” in the best way. Situational awareness – understanding not just your own position, but what everyone else in the airspace is trying to do. Humility – recognizing that overconfidence kills and that learning never stops. Max emphasizes that aviation teaches life skills: staying humble, seeking excellence, and always being ready to learn. He ends by inviting listeners to consider flight training—not just for fun, but as a profound growth experience. Learning to fly, he says, can change how you see the world and yourself. Tony echoes the sentiment, encouraging listeners to take a discovery flight and explore the possibility. As the episode wraps, both hosts agree: while aviation may be unforgiving, it offers unmatched rewards for those who approach it with professionalism and passion.

Some of the company's core innovations include:    Expansion of electrification and smart products for every room in the home.  Addition of electrification enablers, such as smart electrical panels and dynamic Level 2 EV chargers, that help eliminate roadblocks many homeowners have in wanting to electrify their entire home.  Simplifying rebate and savings programs, such as Congress' Inflation Reduction Act, to help customers cut costs by taking advantage of available local and national funding and discounts.  Building relationships with industry leaders in product, service and consumer education to supplement and amplify their mission to electrify American homes.    This electric push comes as a new generation of homeowners seek to invest in smarter, greener home solutions and previous generations are coming up against new government standards making accessibility to like-for-like replacement equipment for their home obsolete.    With Kenmore's electrification program delivering a quick onramp to affordable green energy homes, homeowners of all backgrounds and budgets have a more attainable path to smart, green home adoption.          Notes:   Kenmore CEO and Appliances   Seg. 1   Major appliances and clean tech and sustainability energy security is a big issue on the macro end. The effect on the electric grid and power lines.   There is lots of demand and potential blackouts. This is a fuel and demand issue. The government and utility companies are working on clean energy. Currently they use fossil fuels and working on using less.   Design of the future house would have a battery in it that could recharge your appliances and electronics storing down ours.   The electric layout of most homes, especially homes built pre-1990s has an 100 amp circuit. If you have modern tech like an EV charger in your house, an electrician cannot set it up because the EV charger will blow up your 100 amp circuit.   It would cost you between $20 and 60 K to upgrade a house for a modern electric set up. Kenmore will install electric panel with load balance for EV vehicles and in-home appliances.   Seg. 2   Electrical layout of a house as you install new appliances. There is a booster within the inflation reduction act. There are rebates for lower income people, where it pays you for getting new appliances. 10 K instant credit for new appliances.   The comparison of older appliances versus new appliances. Many older appliances may run on fossil fuels like a gas range oven or gas water heater. Older HVAC unit has more wear and tear.   On a hot days and really cold days appliances operate at peak and are putting demand on the electric red. Looking for new ways of sustainable clean energy and examples hydroelectric power.   You would have a back up in high demand times, where are you fire up a generator running on fossil fuels.   Do you want to protect the grid for maintenance but also things like cyber attacks. One way you could do this is make all homes standalone energy producers.   Peak rates for electricity or 6 to 10 PM at night. At these times electricity use taxes the grid and also taxes your wallet. Do you want to run your dishwasher post 10 PM.   Seg. 3   We are moving from a world of done by you to a world of done for you. The smart home of the future will help you.   The electrical panel would work with the grid and decide when to charge electronics in your house. Kenmore has electric appliances that works with the electric red. These appliances save you money and also save the grid.   On a bigger scale we need to modernize the electric road. Then in the future build better homes cars and appliances. Inflation reduction act has multiprong incentives for all of this.   When we saw the bull run of tech starting in 2010 it had three things working together. Social mobile and the cloud all came together to create this tech rise. Do you need electricity plus clean energy plus clean water.   A rising tide that can raise all. Do you want to solve problems, what are the pain killers?   Seg. 4   CEO was an engineer by trade. Worked in Boston went to business school and after that he built some products. Worked at Altavista on firewalls and search.   Cloud print on printing mobile with the HP e-print. Worked in wearables at Hugo boss and Ferrari.   Worked at Comcast on Xfinity digital security and high-speed Internet. Worked with shark and ninja on home robots. Worked at Bershire Gray, consumer robots which went public with an IPO.   Then at Brands / Kenmore (also Diehard batteries) - Building better and smarter appliances   Span that I/O build a smart electrical panel. Do you want your appliances to give you repair and maintenance updates.   Whole home electrification. A whole home dashboard controlling your smart home. An example would be your fridge would tell you when you need a new filter. Kenmore is a tech forward company.   Solving problems in electricity and energy also have the same issues with working on better water and clean food. It is more than just an energy and electric issue.   Live more and live better. Also need to make it affordable. Kenmore is home electricity made easy. rebates.kenmore.com they have the blue-collar work ethic with the idea of progress over perfection. Kenmore is a consumer centric team.         Biotech Shows: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Biotech-Life+Sciences-Science   AZ Tech Council Shows:  https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=az+tech+council *Includes Best of AZ Tech Council show from 2/12/2023   Tech Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Tech-Startup-VC-Cybersecurity-Energy-Science  Best of Tech: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=best+of+tech   ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

With the so many prevailing stories of uncertainty around for everyone, our roles as educators supporting young people and colleagues to know how to navigate it can be overwhelming! As Thea Snow said on a recent episode, feeling safe in uncertainty is hard. But this is where perhaps we can all learn from the wisdom of those with expertise in futures work and facilitating spaces to explore desirable regenerative futures. Bill Sharpe (http://www.billsharpe.uk/) is one such expert, who has been helping teams in all sectors of organisations and society find co-ordinated ways of managing innovation, creating transformational change that has a chance of succeeding, and ways of seeing the future in the present. He developed the adapted version of the Three Horizons framework as a method for futures studies and practice with Anthony Hodgson, Andrew Curry and Graham Leicester.Bill was previously a Research Director at Hewlett-Packard's corporate labs in Bristol, UK. He joined HP Laboratories in 1985, becoming one of the first HP Laboratory Directors outside the US. Early work in Bristol provided the impetus for him to set up the Personal Systems Lab that led HP's early work in the emerging world of smart consumer products, mobile computing and digital imaging. Bill then took an assignment in the USA for two years to lead the Internet Solutions Operation of HP's Laserjet Bueiness through the transition to Web. Back in Bristol, Bill set up new mechanisms for coupling HP Labs to the creation of HP's new information appliance businesses. This work led him to co-found the Appliance Studio in 1999 as an independent company, delivering innovation to a wider commercial audience. Having created a range of new product ideas for clients, in particular new business in digital signage for Steelcase Inc, the Studio launched its own start-up Lucid Signs. With the sale of Lucid Signs, Bill moved on to focus entirely on personal research and consulting. Early in his career, Bill took an active role in UK government research through his work with the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) and Advanced IT (Alvey) programs. As a member of the Programme Directorate at Alvey - a programme designed to foster R&D between industry and academia - Bill co-coordinated research into intelligent knowledge-based systems.Bill is a highly accomplished practitioner in futures techniques and systems change, and now works with Future Stewards (https://futurestewards.com/), the International Futures Forum (https://www.internationalfuturesforum.com/) and H3Uni (https://www.h3uni.org/) to pioneer new approaches to futures, systems thinking, and transformative innovation. He is the author of Three Horizons: The Patterning of Hope (https://www.triarchypress.net/three-horizons.html) and Economies of Life: Patterns of Health and Wealth (https://www.triarchypress.net/economies-of-life.html).Additional info about Three horizons: A pathways practice for transformation - Three Horizons is a simple and intuitive framework for thinking about the future. The framework explains how people often manage to disagree so violently about their visions of the future and how to achieve them - and it offers a practical way to begin constructive conversations about the future at home, in organisations and in society at large. The three horizons are about much, much more than simply stretching our thinking to embrace the short, medium and long term. They offer a co-ordinated way of managing innovation, a way of creating transformational change that has a chance of succeeding, a way of dealing with uncertainty and a way of seeing the future in the present.Kate Raworth's excellent description of 3H: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5KfRQJqpPUJonathan Rowson's great explanation of the H2 minus vortex: https://perspecteeva.substack.com/p/deactivating-the-h2minus-vortex Social LinksLinkedIn: @bill-sharpe - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-sharpe-6689

En nuestro Radar ponemos la mira en Broadcom y sus resultados que impresionaron al mercado. Las acciones del fabricante de chips tuvieron subidas del 13% y sus cuentas superaron todas las estimaciones. Su beneficio por acción fue de 1,60 dólares, superando en nueve centavos el consenso del mercado. Sus ingresos también superaron previsiones y aumentaron un 25%, llegando a los 14.900 millones de dólares, 300 más de lo esperado por los analistas. Estos ingresos provocaron que el beneficio neto se multiplicara por 5, superando los 5.000 millones de dólares. El beneficio neto anterior fue de 1300 millones. Para Hock E. Tan, CEO de Broadcom, una de las razones de estos grandes resultados es el impulso que ha hecho la compañía por la inteligencia artificial. Las subidas de Broadcom son una rara avis dentro de las bajadas mayoritarias que sufren los valores relacionados con los chips. Las acciones de NVIDIA arrastran una caída del 13% en este 2025 y los malos resultados de Marvell Technologies arrastraron a otras compañías de semiconductores. Qualcomm cayó más de un punto y medio, los títulos de MicroChip perdieron un 2,55 % de su valor y las acciones de IBM bajaron más de un punto. El CEO de Broadcom piensa además que en el campo del software se verá un importante crecimiento en este 2025. ¿Cuál es la estrategia de la compañía para este año? Hock Tan Broadcom se fundó en 1961 como una división de productos de semiconductores de Hewlett-Packard. La historia de la compañía es una historia de fusiones y adquisiciones. La compañía tecnológica Agilent la compró en el 2000. Sólo 16 años después, la también empresa tecnológica Avago anunció la compra de Broadcom Corporation, formando un consorcio que pasó a llamarse Broadcom. También tiene un historial con adquisiciones fallidas, muy polémicas y comentadas. En 2017, la compañía que seguía con su afán de expansión quiso hacerse con el fabricante de chips Qualcomm. El directorio de la tecnológica rechazó la propuesta de 117.000 millones de dólares y después la administración Trump bloqueó la operación con una orden ejecutiva, alegando razones de seguridad nacional.

Traditional sales tactics often fall flat in today's B2B landscape, especially when dealing with high-ticket deals. Buyers are more informed than ever, and outdated, pushy strategies only create resistance instead of trust. Success now comes from strategic positioning, deep relationship-building, and demonstrating real value at every touchpoint. When sales shifts from persuasion to partnership, closing big deals becomes a natural outcome instead of an uphill battle. Greg Nutter is the Principal Consultant at Soloquent. He is a seasoned management consultant with over 30 years of experience in sales, spanning roles from sales representative to vice president of sales.

My guest for Episode #297 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Norman Wolfe, the Founder and CEO of Quantum Leaders. EPISODE PAGE with video, transcript, and more Norman's journey as both a successful executive and a trusted coach to countless leaders has been driven by one central question: How can we improve our ability to achieve the results we want? His pursuit of this answer led him to master a wide range of business disciplines—from leadership and strategy to operations and finance—while also deeply exploring human potential, personal growth, and even spirituality. Norman's mission now is to help others transform their thinking and approach to more effectively achieve their deepest desires. In this episode, I chat with Norman about how mistakes can spark profound growth and innovation in leadership. Norman shares his favorite mistake story—from his early days as a first-time manager, where a harsh performance review challenged him, to the lessons that fueled his journey toward becoming a top leader at Hewlett-Packard. He explains Wolfe's Law, his formula that highlights the exponential impact of relationships and context on achieving outcomes. We also dive into the principles of quantum leadership, discussing how a holistic, people-centered approach—blending practical leadership with a touch of spirituality and systems thinking—can transform organizations into dynamic learning ecosystems. Questions and Topics: What is your favorite mistake? Did the negative review or your mentors provide specific, actionable feedback for improvement? Is the formula you mentioned what you call “Wolfe's Law”? Could you state Wolfe's Law for us? Does your formula imply that relationships are exponentially more important than activity and context? How does spirituality fit into your framework—does it fall under context or serve another role? How do you assess whether individuals (or teams) are mature enough for increased responsibility?

Scientists at Hewlett-Packard's crystal lab had tested thousands of specimens, but they'd never seen anything like this. The Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull defied everything they knew about physics and engineering. According to legend, thirteen crystal skulls contained the complete knowledge of our galaxy. Twelve represented worlds where intelligent life existed, while the thirteenth skull connected them all. The story spans from ancient Mars to modern-day laboratories, weaving through lost civilizations and CIA psychic programs. As scientists unravel the truth behind these mysterious artifacts, they discover something even more fascinating about the potential of crystal technology.

In 2023, two-wheelers and three-wheelers in India experienced growth of around 37% and 66%. Electric four-wheelers also promised to go down the same path because in that same year, there was a significant increase in sales of electric four-wheelers, 113%.Now, of course, this is from a lower base, but the signs were clear.The conventional wisdom or the narrative has been petrol and diesel cars are going to become a relic of the past. And if you're an automaker and if you're not investing billions of dollars in developing battery technology or newer models with all of this stuff, you are seen as out of touch with reality.Essentially, electric cars were inevitable.In 2024, something changed. Demand and sales for electric cars have fallen all over the world. For the first time in almost 12 years, Tesla's sales dropped by 1.1%. And India is also no exception.If you look at 2024 numbers, in fact, until October 2024, sales of electric four-wheeler cars in India were actually declining. They had gone down if you compare year-on-year numbers all of these months. By the end of the year, it sort of increased a little bit which was helped by a sale of one specific model called MG Windsor and some price cuts.But in this episode, we're going to pose two questions: Number one, why did electric cars become less attractive? And two, what will make electric cars inevitable again and by when?Our first guest is Dr Amitabh Saran, founder and CEO of Altigreen Propulsion Labs. Saran used to work at companies like Tata Consultancy Services, Philips, NASA, and Hewlett Packard before turning to entrepreneurship.Our second guest is Awadhesh Jha, executive director of Glida India, formerly known as Fortum Charge and Drive India, which is a leading charging solution provider in India. In fact, if you live in Delhi, you will see Glida charging points all over Delhi.Jha has a long history in power. He used to be a deputy director at the Central Water Commission. Also, he was the vice president of Hindustan Powerprojects Limited, where he administered hydropower development in one of the remotest parts of the country, the Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh.Welcome to episode 24 of Two by Two.–This is just the first 30 minutes of the conversation.If you'd like to listen to the full episode, you can head over to The Ken and become a Premium subscriber to catch up on everything else we discussed.

Have you ever hesitated to take action because you felt like you needed to have everything planned out in advance? Do you find yourself waiting for the perfect moment when all the details are clear before you move forward? If so, this episode is for you. Recently, I had a coaching conversation with someone who had a big vision—a dream of launching a corporate workshop that could have a massive impact. But instead of taking action, he was stuck in hesitation, waiting until he had everything figured out before making his move. During our conversation, I challenged this mindset by pointing out that many of history's greatest visionaries didn't wait for certainty—they took action despite their doubts. As we talked, I learned that he particularly admired one such visionary: Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs' 1983 Vision for the Future Back in 1983, Steve Jobs had a clear vision: he wanted to create a sleek, book-sized computer you could carry anywhere. His vision included a built-in radio that would wirelessly connect to databases and other computers, and anyone could learn to use it in just 20 minutes. And the price tag? He wanted it to cost under $1,000. The problem? It was 1983 and the technology didn't exist. It was impossible at the time! Yet, instead of waiting for the technology to exist, he took action. First, he built the Lisa—a massive, expensive, and ultimately failed computer. Jobs had recruited John Sculley (then CEO of Pepsi) to be Apple's CEO. However, by 1985, internal conflicts escalated between Jobs and Sculley, particularly over the direction of Apple and the disappointing sales of the Macintosh. The board sided with Sculley, stripping Jobs of his role in day-to-day operations. Frustrated, Jobs resigned from Apple. In a 2005 Commencement address given to Stanford University graduates, Steve said the following: So at 30, I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down – that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. During the next 5 years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. And don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle. Eventually, his vision became reality—the iPad and iPhone exist today because Jobs refused to wait for all the answers and he didn't give up when “life hit him in the head with a few bricks along the way.” In that same speech, Steve said: “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.” This is true for all of us. Waiting for clarity before taking action is a trap. Fear of Failure & The Power of Asking for Help My client also hesitated because he was afraid of putting himself out there and asking for help. Again, Steve Jobs set an example: At age 12, he called Bill Hewlett (of Hewlett-Packard) and asked for spare parts to build a frequency counter—and got a summer job working a dream job! Steve Job's success came from his willingness to act and fail publicly. One more quote from Steve Jobs: “Most people don't get those experiences because they never ask. Most people never pick up the phone and call, most people never ask and that's what separates, sometimes, the people who do things and the people that just dream about them. You've got to ACT! You've got to be WILING TO FAIL, To ‘crash and burn.' If you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far.” Key Takeaways from This Episode: ✔️ You don't need to have it all figured out before you start. ✔️ Taking action creates clarity—waiting does not. ✔️ Failure is part of the process—it's how you grow. ✔️ Asking for help isn't weakness—it's what successful people do. What's Your Next Step? If you've been hesitating, waiting for the “right” moment, I challenge you to trust your vision and take the next step—without needing to see the whole path. If you're an entrepreneur, a leader, or someone who knows they're meant for something bigger but find yourself stuck in hesitation, I'd love to help you get unstuck.

L'image du garage comme berceau d'Apple est un mythe largement répandu. On imagine souvent Steve Jobs et Steve Wozniak, deux jeunes génies bidouillant des circuits électroniques dans un modeste garage californien, donnant naissance à l'une des plus grandes entreprises technologiques du monde. En réalité, la création d'Apple ne s'est pas déroulée de cette façon.D'où vient le mythe du garage ?L'histoire du garage provient du fait que Steve Jobs et Steve Wozniak ont effectivement utilisé le garage des parents de Jobs, à Los Altos, mais pas pour concevoir les premiers ordinateurs d'Apple. Comme l'a expliqué Steve Wozniak lui-même, « Le garage, c'était un mythe. Nous n'avons rien conçu, rien fabriqué, rien vendu dans ce garage. C'était juste un bon endroit pour traîner. »L'idée d'Apple et le développement du premier ordinateur, l'Apple I, sont en réalité nés ailleurs :- Wozniak a conçu le premier prototype sur du papier et a fabriqué l'Apple I chez lui, en dehors du garage.- Jobs a trouvé les premiers financements et clients, notamment Paul Terrell, propriétaire du magasin Byte Shop, qui a commandé 50 unités.- Les premiers ordinateurs ont été assemblés dans un petit local industriel de Cupertino, bien plus adapté que le garage des Jobs.Pourquoi ce mythe persiste-t-il ?Le récit du garage correspond parfaitement au rêve américain : l'idée qu'une grande entreprise peut naître dans un lieu modeste, grâce au travail acharné et au génie de ses fondateurs. Ce mythe est aussi renforcé par d'autres success stories similaires, comme celle de Hewlett-Packard, qui, elle, a bien commencé dans un garage.De plus, Steve Jobs lui-même a parfois entretenu cette légende, sachant qu'elle rendait l'histoire d'Apple plus inspirante et accessible.L'importance réelle du garageMême si Apple n'a pas été inventée dans ce garage, il a quand même eu un rôle symbolique. C'était un lieu de rencontre, un espace où Jobs et Wozniak pouvaient rêver, discuter et planifier leurs ambitions. Mais la véritable naissance d'Apple s'est faite grâce aux compétences de Wozniak, à la vision de Jobs et aux premiers investisseurs, bien au-delà des murs d'un simple garage.Ainsi, Apple n'est pas née d'un garage, mais d'un mélange d'ingéniosité, de persévérance et d'opportunités saisies au bon moment.

Are we mass, energy or space? That's the question many have pondered time and time again. The answer: we're all 3 at the same time.  We are not just bodies of mass, though we feel the weight of our flesh, the solidity of our bones. Beneath this, there is a huge symphonic panorama inside of us, and when we tap into it, we can experience true healing and freedom. Often we focus on the mass aspect of existence, but the energetic aspect has a lot more power.  The ever-shifting flow of energy that rises and falls within us expresses itself as emotion, movement, and sensation. The rush of excitement, the pang of sorrow, the heaviness of grief—these are all movements of energy that can shape our physical experience. Beyond the mass of our bodies and the energy within, there is space. When we tap into that space, we find a sense of peace, a realization that we are not just our thoughts or emotions, but something much greater. How do we access space and energy? How do we stop identifying with the fluctuations of energy and start identifying with the space that holds it?  In this episode, we're joined by Gay Hendricks to talk about the power of mass, energy, and space, and how to stop living from the surface, but from the deeper, expansive place within us.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  - Getting unstuck from your body traumas  The mass that is our body is a repository of personal and generational grief and trauma. How does energy and space heal all of these things?     - From repression to release We all possess within us an energy that flows freely. What are some of the things that compress this energy or misuse it?   - Learn to be with fear One way humans do away with fear is trying to control everything. Why is letting go of control a necessary step to tapping into the expansive space with us? Guest Bio Gay Hendricks has served for more than 30 years as one of the major contributors to the fields of relationship transformation and bodymind therapies. Along with his wife, Dr. Kate Hendricks, Gay is the author of many bestsellers, including Conscious Loving, At The Speed Of Life, The Big Leap, and the New York Times bestseller, Five Wishes.
