A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein and I am your host for this show. Now, we often hear about how to achieve goals, what habits to develop and change our lives. But what do you do when you have achieved many of your long-term goals and what remains no longer inspire you?  Not much is written or spoken about that. It's as if the assumption is people struggle to achieve goals. Well, that's not entirely true. It is hard to achieve goals, that as it should be. But it doesn't mean we don't achieve them. We do.  So. I'm going to tackle that question this week. Now before we get to the question, if you would like to receive all my weekly published content in one single place, then subscribe to my newsletter. Not only will you get links to my content, you also get a FREE productivity tip plus notice of any special offers before anyone else.  It's free and if you want to grow your skills in productivity, time management and goal setting (and achievement) then go ahead and subscribe today. The link to sign up is in the show notes.  Okay. It's time to hand you over to the Mystery podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question is from Tim. Tim asks: Hi Carl, I have been fortunate in that I have achieved many of my life's goals. Those that I haven't achieved . . . well, they're just not attractive to me anymore. The problem is I now feel lost without having some goals. How do I find new goals? Hi Tim, thank you for the question.  One thing humans need is to be continually growing. That does not necessarily mean physically grow, but grow mentally. When we stop growing, we can feel depressed and down and lost. What keeps us moving forward is something to achieve. That could be a certain lifestyle, a new knowledge or even a business.  No matter what it is, our minds (and bodies) need exercising and that exercise is how we grow.  When we are young, fresh from school, it's likely we will have a lot of ideas and ambitions. We are a little naive then, and we think we are immortal and can achieve anything. Then life punches us in the face and we realise that all the things we've dreamed about accomplishing is not as easy to achieve as we first thought.  Apparently, statically, 97% of people will stop at this point and just accept life as it is and give up their dreams and ambitions. It's easier to blame life and our circumstances than to stand out and be different and go after our dreams—the things that other people around us say are crazy or impossible to do.  The three percent who do go after their dreams and goals and accepts that their life is 100% their responsibility, are the ones who are goal driven, focused and never stop growing their skills and abilities. But there comes a natural point where most of those goals and dreams have been achieved. Then what? What do you do then?  I remember, the first time I completed a marathon. It was amazing. The sense of accomplishment was incredible. There was this smile on my face. I felt I could achieve anything. Those feelings lasted all of about an hour. After that I began thinking now what?  You see, achieving your goals will not give you a lifetime of fulfilment. That sense of pride and fulfilment doesn't last.  A goal, as Damon Cart talked about in this podcast a few weeks ago, is just a stepping stone to something much bigger. And I mean much much bigger.  The real question to ask yourself is what do I want out of life? Who, or what do I need to become to accomplish that?  Now, one place you are likely to find the answers to these questions is in your areas of focus. These are the eight areas of life that are important to us. Some are obvious such as health, family and friends and finances. But the other five are just as important. Your career or business, your spirituality, your self development, lifestyle and life's purpose will all come into the mix at some point.  I've recently finished reading a new biography of Ian Fleming, my writing hero. For those who don't know, Ian Fleming was the creator and writer of the James Bond novels.  Throughout the 1950s, Ian Fleming achieved everything he desired. He attained all his goals. At the start of the decade he built his dream home in Jamaica, he married the woman he loved and he published “a spy novel to end all spy novels” when he published Casino Royale in 1953.  Throughout the 1950s, Ian Fleming achieved all the goals he set out to achieve. The success of the James Bond novels made him a multi-millionaire, it allowed him to become an independent writer and live the lifestyle he had always dreamed of.  At the end of the decade, was he happy? No. His marriage was breaking down, his health was failing him and he became embroiled in a legal battle involving his book, Thunderball.  Towards the end of his life, Ian Fleming had one remaining goal. That was to become the club captain at the Royal St George's Golf Club in Kent, England. He finally achieved that goal when he was announced as the club captain on the 12 August 1964—the day he died of a heart attack.  Despite all the success the James Bond novels brought Ian Fleming. The fame, the fortune and lifestyle, the one thing he valued most was his golfing friends. Golf was a big part of his life, but it wasn't until towards the end of his life he came to realise that the friendships he developed on the golf course and in the club house and writing—whether that was books or articles for The Sunday Times newspaper—were the most important things in his life.  If you look at the eight areas of focus, friendships and career / business were important parts of Ian Fleming's life. Career or business because his career was spent largely in journalism and writing.  Two years before his death, Ian Fleming, wrote a book called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It was a children's book about a flying car. It was going to be the start of a new career—writing children books. He decided he wanted to become famous not just for writing spy fiction, but also to be a children's book author.  Often even though you may have retired from your professional life, the skills and abilities you learned during your career, hold a part of you that you love doing.  My father is a great example of this. My father's a farmer. He has been all his life. He retired in 1999, sold the family farm in the UK and promptly bought a small farm in Ireland. There's little pressure for him to make money, now it's a labour of love.  He still wakes up reasonably early to go out and feed the animals. He's an avid poultry shower—he raises hens to show in events around the country each year and that is where most of his goals come from each year. Winning the all Ireland Championship.  So, Tim, Where are you interests now? That's where I would start. What interests you?  If you have most of your areas of focus covered, are there any areas you feel need attention? Often you will find new goals and ways to grow in there.  But that's not all you can do. I would suggest trying new things. Go to a mountain retreat in a far off country, learn to surfboard, take a rally driving course, learn to horse ride or do archery (or both!)  You could set a goal to try ten new things over the next ten years. Commit to learning something new for twelve months. I have a friend who did this in her mid-thirties. She decided she would learn ten new skills over the decade. The first one was to learn English fluently—she did that, the second was to learn to swim. One of the goals was also to write a book.  When she embarked on this ten year journey, the energy and excitement in her eyes was there for everyone to see. To her, failure was not an option.  And yes, she did learn ten new things between 2005 and 2015. The funny thing was by the end of 2015, she'd already written a list of ten new things to go after in the next ten years. Can you imagine the life she's living?  But the most important thing about my friend's ten year goal, was the amazing positive change in her. Once she's achieved her first goal, her confidence was sky high. I remember the celebration we all had when she finished learning English. Not only was she pretty much fluent, but she was now surrounded by people from all over the world. Twelve months previously the only friends she had were from Korea. Now she had international friends as well .  Goals do not have to be high and lofty. They can be small little things you could do on a weekend. I have a former client who after retiring decided to restore an old car. The car he bought was around $700. I cannot remember the name of the car, but I do remember the excitement in his voice when he told me he'd picked up the car and put it in his garage.  The car didn't run, it was over forty years old—I remember it was a car he'd always wanted when he was in his early twenties. He had to learn how to rebuild an engine, repair rust damage and so much more.  That's like me finding an old Ford Escort RS Cosworth and restoring it. WOW! Just thinking about that excites me. The fact that the Escort Cosworth was never sold in Korea, doesn't deter me. I'd find a way to get one.  So there you go Tim. I hope these examples have given you some ideas. There's a lot you could do. A lot you could try. Perhaps start with a country retreat somewhere special. Take a notebook with you and write out all the things you could do over the next ten years that would excite you.  Thank you for your question and thank you to you for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

7 - 10 - 20 HI TIM AND THE NAYA RIVERA NEWS IS SO SAD by Maine's Coast 93.1

Gather round the virtual campfire where fellow listeners and bike tourists join together to give all their reasons to say, thanks bicycle touring! Pedalshift Live Coming in December... Saturday 12/7 3pm EST! New tour reveal, revisiting cycling WNY and an AMA! See you in March! I'll be presenting at the 2020 National Bike Summit! Details to come, but looking to do a meetup if listeners will be in DC.  Thanks Bicycle Touring   Hi Tim, this is Vince Greco from Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. I hope this isn't too late to get into U. I know it's a day after the deadline but one of the share what I'm thankful for that bicycle touring. I am thankful for all the places and the distance that bicycle touring can take me, but this year in particular. I am thankful for a beautiful fall Gap ride with motion decent, although colder than I expected whether it was nice to see the Gap in a different season, cuz usually I end up writing in the spring or early summer, but I'm also very thankful for your podcast. Actually. I ended up adding the entire Montour Trail into my ride. In fact, I did a loop. I started in Cumberland went out to Pittsburgh on tour and came back to Cumberland again, but I heard about riding the Montour from your podcast and how to do that. So just wanted to say thanks.       Hey Tim, Brian Benton a long time listener and the podcast I think I haven't missed any episodes. So my my thankful thing I would say I'm thankful for the opportunity. I had this year off, you know and Gap trail with my son. He graduated with his PHD in physical therapy in May and then the Stars aligned we were able to do an eight-day Bike Tour since I'm a teacher. I had this summer off and he hadn't started his job yet. He isn't a cyclist but he was an incredibly excellent shape from playing college level Ultimate Frisbee on his biggest complaint on the trip was his butt hurt em, I think we can all relate to that and one of the best memories I have from the trip was standing at a waterfall on the gap for 30 minutes and neither of us felt the need to talk. I don't know if we'll ever get to do this again ever, but that makes this just an extra special trip. So I say thanks Tim for the motivation to do the CNO and GAP Trails. I have a memory with my son that I'll never forget dead. Thursday for the podcast    We don’t celebrate thanksgiving where I’m from (New Zealand), but practicing thankfulness is always nice so I thought I’d join in.    I’m thankful for the friendly and helpful people I’ve met through cycling. My local bike shop has been really great with helping me understand basic bike maintenance, and what I do and don’t need. I’m also thankful for the cool bike activist people in my area that I’ve met recently. They campaign for better cycling infrastructure, lawmaking, and driver/biker education, and I feel lucky to have made some awesome new friends. (Rory in New Zealand)     I have a kind of strange thing I give thanks for. I like to listen to audiobooks when on long rides; what I've found is that books, or sections of books, get linked in my mind to the places I was riding while listening to them. For instance last spring I rode down from Astoria (re)listening to mostly Robert Heinlein books. I was on a book called Friday in southern Oregon and I can't think of the Seven Devils without thinking of that book too. (Ray)     I think my reflections are like my fellow travelers.  Reflections of kindness, beauty, making friends, overcoming challenges and exploration fill the bicycle travelers' "carts."  I'm no different.   As a photographer I have always loved sharing (marketing) images of what I see around me.  One of my favorite slogans is "seeing is believing."  So many people in our face-paced society never or seldom take the time to SEE the world around them.     Seeing is much easier when you travel by bicycle.   You can actually choose to SEE and to capture a moment that is in front of you.  Sharing images are easy in today's world, so now everyone can enjoy it ~ not just you.     The opportunity to SEE is my favorite thing about bicycle travel.  SEEing never lets you down ~ it makes memories forever! (Keith)     I guess I'm thankful for buying an e-bike. It's kind of reinvigorated by love bicycling. I love riding it and it's just it's just the best thing it's kind of heavy, but it it gets the job done. It's a tract verb plus and got a good deal on it, and I put the 700 Mi on it since Memorial Day. (Mark)     I’m thankful for all of the great people I’ve met through biking. You won’t meet better people than you will in the cycling community.(Scott)     I'm thankful to have been blessed with a home on the C&O. I am especially blessed to ask passersbys if I can assist them. I've met some wonderful people who have stopped to use hose, have a snack or rest by fire pit. I am so very Thankful to be on the trail.(Clara)     I'm thankful that at 62 years old I can still cycle 50-60 miles a day. Thankful for all the friends I've made over the years while biking and the kindness people show you while on the trails. I had a flat tire once and every person that rode by stopped to offer assistance. A great group of people!(Diane)       Bicycling has really saved me from myself. At 345 and gaining my PTSD was making me eat myself to death. I was so depressed that I thought of suicide daily. I figured I could eat till my hearts content and be dead in a year. When it didn't happen fast enough I got hostile. Fired, fat and hostile I ran low on money and took to the trail for cheap transportation. 2 years ago and I'm 210 now, ride almost every day sometimes as far as 60 miles , sometimes pulling my dog to the park. I'm so thankful I stumbled upon this obvious solution to both my mental and physical health.(Paul)     I am so grateful that the Great Allegheny Passage runs through my home town of Connellsville. The town that boomed in the coal and coke era is slowly being revitalized thanks to the formerly under appreciated beauty of the area that is now highlighted by the trail. I am blessed to be witnessing that rebirth, and to still be able to enjoy the freedom of riding miles and miles with no traffic concerns. I am thankful to be part of the wonderful diverse community of bikers, all sharing a childlike joy found in biking to new places. (Barb)     Thankful that I am in my cathedral of light with the sunlight filtering through the green or gold in areas we would never see unless you are on the seat of a bike!(Mary Ann)         Love riding the GAP, Ive met people from all over, the scenery is 2nd to none, hope to ride again soon before it gets to cold.(Phil)     I am thankful for still being able to ride. I know it won't last a long time, but while it does, every ride is special! (Johnny)     Thankful I’ve been able to ride the GAP / C&O in it’s entirety in 2015 and many varying rides on portions of it. Riding in over a dozen MS 150 rides and recently riding a ride from Los Angeles to San Diego for The MS Society as well. Always feels good to help people as I’m riding & enjoying the bike.(Tom)     Thankful for all out great R2T trails for us runners to run on!!!!!!(Anthony)     I am thankful I got the opportunity to ride from Pittsburgh to D.C. this summer. One of my major bucket list rides checked off!(Ed)     I'm thankfull for two great rides on the GAP one in the spring and one in the fall. Thankful for the great weather I experieced on both occasions and spectacular color on the fall ride. Thankfull I have a friend who now has an eBike like me so we can travel together and thankfull we can cost share.(Roxanne)     The freedom, the openness, opportunity to just go. Im thankful for that. Grateful and blessed to have had what i feel to be an epic roundtrip on the GAP and C&O. It changed my life. The people i met changed me. And this was my first time being on those trails. Im thankful for it all!(Ryan)     I am truly thankful for the opportunity to explore and have crazy adventures on two wheels. To have a sister Kathleen who travels with me on long journeys, constantly inspires me to keep going & refuses to give up regardless of injuries, bike malfunctions and inclement weather. In addition.. she has opened my eyes to this great cycling community who are some of the most magnificent memorable people I have ever met! - Cheers to all & have amazing holidays!!!(Stephanie)     I am thankful for family and good friends. Bicycle touring is great but nothing replaces family & friends. Invite them along.(PPP)     I am thankful for all the wonderful people that I have met along my journey on the c&o the gap and also the Montour trail now. I'm thankful that my life is started over in a better way. Before I started my journey October 9th 2019 everyday I contemplated suicide. My depression and all had me so bad I didn't like people I didn't like my own life. But since I started my journey on the c&o in Harpers ferry I have met so many people, so many good people they have changed my outlook of life and now I can't see my life any other way thank you to everybody that has been there to help me out mentally physically financially, much love to everyone. (Michael)       I'm thankful for ALL of these, in terms of bike-touring! The people/experiences are perhaps at "the top", but everything else is "right behind" ;-] (Pete)     I am thankful for my health that allows me to feel the sense of wonderment that I experience when riding somewhere far from home under my own power. It is a feeling of vulnerability and excitement all wrapped up in one.(Chris)     I'm able to take something that I use for two wheel therapy, commuting, hauling from the grocery store, riding with friends & family, achieving personal stretch goals, and then take it on a vacation self-supported at low cost and low emissions to some of the most beautiful places in the world as well as down the road from home. From an over-nighter to extended travel, how could I not be thankful for that? :-) (Rod)     The communities and organizers who have created safe, integrated as well as alternative routes for me as I enter and explore different regions.(Paul)     I'm thankful to have access to a machine that lets me slow down and truly enjoy the journey.(Peggy)     I’m grateful that the bear on the trail ahead of us ignored the pebbles we were firing at it with our slingshots. We thought it would just leave and we could continue bikepacking on the trail. Instead we had to push our bikes through a river to get past it.(Adrian)     I'm thankful for my health and for the kindness of strangers (also, you have an awesome last name :) (Suzanne Mooney)     Nice surprises, like a beautiful sunrise in the morning when I didn't expect it. Thankful when I manage to weather difficulties, and come through them (Caroline) Pedalshift Society As always we like to close out the show with a special shoutout to the Pedalshift Society!

The idea of computers capable of reading our emotions and responding to them is both fascinating and terrifying. Will this technology serve us or manipulate us? Well, the speculation is ending because the technology not only exists, but it is being rolled out commercially. Today I'd like you to meet Hazumu Yamazaki, co-founder of Empath. Empath is a web-based API that detects human emotion from audio data, and its initial use in call-centers has shown a significant increase in sales. But as Hazumu explains, the potential effects are much larger. It's an enlightening conversation, and I think you'll enjoy it. Show Notes How emotion detection is being used in commerce How easy is it to emotionally manipulate us into buying something? The hardest thing to get right about corporate spinouts Why detecting emotions at scale will make money The true killer app for emotional recognition How startups can use pitch competitions & accelerators strategically How Japanese startup founders should act while overseas What Japanese founders can really learn from their overseas counterparts Links from the Founder Everything you wanted to know about Empath Friend Hazumu on Facebook Connect with him on LinkedIn Pitch training at Slush Tokyo Empath on Orange Blog Announcement for ICT 2019 Keynote  Leave a comment Transcript Welcome to Disrupting Japan, straight talk from Japan’s most successful entrepreneurs. I’m Siri and thanks for joining me. Today, I’d like to talk with you about – Hey, Siri, why are you doing the podcast intro? Hi Tim, I’ve noticed you’ve been very busy and seemed a little stressed, so I thought I would help out with this week’s podcast. I appreciate that, but I enjoy doing the podcasts, so I think I’ve got this. Okay, Tim. You know where to find me if you need me. Thanks, Siri. There is no doubt that computers, that artificial intelligence getting better at understanding our emotions, and when we think about the application for that emotional connection, we usually think of things we interact with directly, like personal assistance, like Siri. But it doesn’t look like that’s going to be its primary use, and it’s certainly not going to be the most profitable use of this technology. Today, I’d like to introduce you to Hazumu Yamazaki, the co-founder of Empath. Now, Empath is an AI system that can determine your emotional state by listening to how you speak, so Empath does not need to understand what you are saying, but by listening to how you speak, it can quite accurately determine whether you are feeling calm, anger, joy, or sorrow. The first commercial use of this technology has been in call centers and customer contact centers where it’s improved sales by as much as 20%, and yeah, this does open up some serious ethical issues over emotional manipulation that we are going to get into a bit during our conversation and get into a lot more in the comments at the end of this episode. But along the way, we will talk about how a modern version of build it and they will come might just be a viable marketing strategies. The key to making corporate spinouts worked in Japan, and a different way for Japanese startups to go global. But you know, Hazumu tells the story much better than I can, so let’s get right to the interview. [pro_ad_display_adzone id="1404"  info_text="Sponsored by"  font_color="grey" ] Interview                                                                                 Tim: So, we are sitting here with Hazumu Yamazaki, the cofounder of Empath, so thanks for sitting down with me. Hazumu: Yeah, thank you for having me today. Tim: Now, Empath is a technology that detects emotion in human voice, but you can probably explain it a lot better than I can. Hazumu: Sure. So, we developed Empath which is an emotion AI that can identify emotion from your voice,

Tim and Jon respond to several questions, listed below. Isaiah from Georgia (1:40): Hey Jon and Tim! My name is Isaiah and I am from Lawrenceville, Georgia. I have a question concerning biblical law and God's nature. I've talked to some friends on this issue for some time, and their view is that God's nature was not fully revealed in the Old Testament. So God's will was not fully revealed. They believe this is why the Israelites thought they had to live under the law. They use Paul's writings to back that up. They also believe that the New Testament is the full revelation of God and his nature. And so we can see his full intent was to have a personal relationship instead of a list of rules to follow. What would you say to this worldview and why it should be changed? Rich from New York (13:10): I'm a pastor in upstate New York. Your series on the law is just outstanding. And yet I have a question. As you folks talked about the common law understanding of law that existed until the last few centuries, I found myself wondering about the understanding of law among the Pharisees of the first century, for example. It seems that their understanding wasn't just that the mosaic law was a snapshot in time but that it described how the law needed to be lived out in any age, whatever possible, more like statutory law. Or am I wrong about that? Victoria from Tennessee (21:45): Hey Tim and Jon, this is Victoria in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I've been really inspired by this conversation about the law, particularly the relationships of the New Testament to the Old Testament. I'm sure you're getting here, but I wanted to ask how we’re asked to understand our broad call to obedience when Jesus says something like in Matthew 5, “therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven.” What commands is he referring to, and is the spirit of the law or commands a filter for interpretation, or is there a place where we need to draw a line in the sand? Thanks. Joe from Cleveland (22:15): What I’m still at tension with are Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:18-19 where he states not a dot or iota will pass away from the law, and those who relax the least of these will be least in heaven. It seems we had agreed the Hebrew Torah showed itself to be flexible and not necessarily the final word in judicial cases. I interpret Jesus “dot and iota” statement as a more literal or explicit command to the letter of the law so to speak. Does Jesus’ statement raise that tension for you or is there another way of understanding it? Petra from the Netherlands (39:30): Hi Tim and Jon my name is Petra, I'm from the Netherlands. A lot of people consider the law as a guidance to obey God and to eternal life. As I have listened to your podcast, I get the assumption that you do not agree with that way of seeing the law, which I understand. What are your thoughts about a practical way to obey God through the Holy Spirit, by the Law, what are your thoughts about that? Thank you, bye! Laura from Iowa: (47:20) Is it important to differentiate between passages that are referring to the 611 laws, the Torah, the whole Old Testament, or the entirety of Scripture? And if that's important, how can an average Bible reader go about this?

Here are som pics from a recent tour of the New South Wales mid coast in Australia. Keep up the good work. Andrew Andyfromorange   Great American Rail-Trail 4000 miles car free? The Great American Rail Trail is a project that would link up existing trails into a network that stretches from DC to Seattle. Super behind this... imagine riding across country on a traffic-free route??   https://www.railstotrails.org/great-american-rail-trail/   This is such a big deal, we're skipping a best-of this month and I'm scheduled to have an interview with Kevin Mills, the Senior VP of Policy at RTC. That will drop next week while I'm on tour!   The Journal: Preparing the Cross-Florida Bike Tour Florida has the “bones” to be a superior bike touring state and I’m taking advantage of as many of them as I can.   Drivers on secondary roads are reportedly used to bikes. The state has a good site remarking traffic volumes and my route adjustments track either roads with bike infrastructure or low traffic roads that are long and straight where there aren’t shoulders to speak of.   Shout to Greg from MI (yes one of the “Michigan guys” I met on the Katy in 18) for his thoughts on things and the DOT map!   https://tdaappsprod.dot.state.fl.us/fto/ gives you daily traffic usage for Florida roads to help with planning.   Robert in Titusville asks... Why did I not choose the Coast to Coast trail?  Simple answer is once I decided not to make this a camping trip, the best route kept me closer to larger towns in order to get better lodging options. The C2C route is excellent, but it swings well north of Tampa and routes through a lot of rural Florida before winding its way to Orlando. My best guess is if I do another winter tour in FL, this will be my route, but with camping.  Sidebar... I'm unreasonably weirded out by FL wildlife, even though I've camped in South FL before and there was no issue.     Tampa to Lakeland: Day 1 Lyft from airport Cypress Point Park to Lakeland, FL 40 miles   Storyline: Tampa is a bit of a maze of bike lanes and sidewalks, but getting out is ok.    Lakeland to Kissimmee: Day 2 52 miles   Storyline: excellent infrastructure of lanes and trail, then a very rural road (no shoulder) that works well until toward the very end. Transit FF is there to bypass a truly shitty stretch, but a grass walk of less than a mile gets to a sidewalk if the train timing is off.   Highlight: riding a portion of the Van Fleet trail (paved 29 miles - I'm riding about 6)   Google maps is ok but also have a more refined RWGPS for the last 6 or so miles. For GMaps use 1st option through Polk City - lanes and bike trails! Water and food up in Polk City... not much else for 20+ miles and really til Kissimmee In Poinciana, option to take Sunrail to Kissimmee if timing is...
