CLR Show 1704. Air Date January 14, 2022. With the indictment of the Oath Keepers on charges of Seditious Conspiracy, the path is now clear for the indictment of Donald and his cronies. So now the question: Does the Justice Department shy away to avoid an unsavory precedent and process, or does it do the right thing and maintain at least the possibility that our Constitutional Democracy has a future in its current form––all the while knowing that the republicans have self-disqualified themselves from, and are incapable of running the Congress?
In today's BetterWealth episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming back to the show Tim Chermak, co-founder of Platform, a digital marketing company and good friend. Join us as we discuss the concept of the knowledge gap. Tim encourages listeners to read the essay by Economic Nobel Prize Winner Friedrich A. Hayek, “The Use of Knowledge In Society”. Tim talks about the knowledge problem and how this problem is negatively affecting today's economy. Listen as Tim describes why virtuous behavior will be erased by the distortion of the economy. I also ask Tim for applicable ways business owners can be valuable and flexible in the future. #BETTERWEALTH For more information on BetterWealth or the content you hear on the Podcast visit us at http://www.betterwealth.com/podcast (www.betterwealth.com/podcast).

I talk about how to add "Sabor" into your life, low-hanging fruit, my tipi ceremony coming up, and my sister Ryan yelling "GAAAYYY" at a comedy show and sparking a 10 min bit haha. ENJOY!!! connect with me on IG: @optfitness
So I talked in the past about low-hanging fruit. I talk about how the heat the term low hanging fruit because everybody uses the term low hanging fruit. It's always it's the easy stuff. Let's go after the easy stuff. Everybody's okay with going after the easy stuff. Nobody has a problem with the low-hanging fruit; in fact, everybody loves it because it's easy. Human beings, that's what we're like we'd like easy we don't like doing anything difficult we don't like doing anything hard well it's so hard I hate doing it because it's hard. Here's the problem, though. The high hanging fruit, the hard stuff, the stuff it takes work to get to the stuff we've got to pull out the latter you gotta get somebody to brace for you we've got to go to the very top with high-value high-risk stuff is we never seem to get up there we do the low hanging fruit. Then we stop in the midst of what happens to the high-hanging fruit nobody gets up there and get the high-hanging fruit, and you know why nobody goes up there to get hang fruit is too much of a risk. When you start looking up for the high-hanging fruit, you start looking at the high-hanging fruit. You realize what you have to give up what you have to change to get to the high-hanging fruit. That's when he gives you pause. It gives you pause because most likely, that high-hanging fruit is up there for a reason because it's tough to get to. It may not be that valuable. After all, what am I going to get out of it? Is it going to help my company? Am I going to make millions of dollars out of it? Who knows, we don't know we know it's going to be hard to get to, and we figured that I will be super profitable because it's high-hanging fruit that we never touched before. Still, we don't know. When you do a patent valuation, I come up with a great idea, and I've had that idea, so he says, well, how much is the idea of value? I said I don't know. And because human beings being what they are, we don't like things in their heart. We like doing the easy stuff, but what do you do next once the easy stuff is done? You have to do the hard stuff, and it takes courage to do the hard stuff, and the question is, do you have the courage to do the hard stuff? Do you have the courage to fight through the fear that you might have to get to the hard stuff? Do you have the courage to discard what you need to discard to get to the high-hanging fruit? I'm done with the low-hanging fruit. I'm only going after the high-hanging fruit, and if I go up to the high-hanging fruit, what do I have to give up to get to that high-hanging fruit. Slight. Human beings invented the computer-human beings invented the internet. It's the high-hanging fruit that's where the good stuff is --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thinkfuture/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thinkfuture/support
In this episode, Simone speaks with Steve and Chutisa Bowman about the idea of high hanging fruit and low hanging fruit to create the future you know is possible.
In our last +1, we spent some time with Tim Ferriss, setting some unusually large goals and thinking about the fact that those jumbo goals can often be, paradoxically, easier to reach than the “realistic” goals that everyone else is going after. Of course, as we dream big, we’d be wise to rub that audacious goal up against reality WOOP style. But… FIRST (!!!) we need to start with the wave-the-wand Wish of what you’d REALLY like to create. Too many people start with the “Obstacles” and, as a result, never give themselves the permission to really dream about what they’d like. So… Today I want to chat about another way to think about this idea. Let’s dig up our PhilosophersNote on Smartcuts by Shane Snow. Turn to page six, please. Final Big Idea of that Note. Here’s how Shane puts it: “The ‘high hanging fruit’ approach, the big swing, is more technically challenging than going after low-hanging fruit, but the diminished number of competitors in the upper branches (not to mention the necessary expertise of those that make it that high) provides fuel for 10x Thinking, and brings out our potential. ... Big causes attract big believers, big investors, big capital, big-name advisors, and big talent. They force us to rethink convention and hack the ladder of success. To engage with masters and to leverage waves and platforms and superconnectors. To swing and to simplify, to quickly turn failure into feedback. To become not just bigger, but truly better. And they remind us, once again, that together we can achieve the implausible.” Shane shares that wisdom on 10X Thinking in a chapter featuring Elon Musk and his commitment to colonize Mars. (!) Note: Every time I think about Musk’s commitment to COLONIZING MARS I laugh. ← THAT is some epic thinking. So… What’s your big goal? What’s a 10X version of it? Remember that, although technically more difficult, 10X goals are often, paradoxically, easier to accomplish than 10% goals. Once you stretch yourself to 10X thinking you might just—like Elon Musk’s rockets—leave the gravitational pull of more pedestrian ideas and enter rarefied air with fewer “competitors” and more opportunities to attract big support. That’s Today’s +1. What’s YOUR high-hanging fruit? And… What’s your next domino? And… What can you do TODAY to make some progress? Get on that. Give us all you got. TODAY. (Pretty please.) (P.S. Don’t forget the fundies. You’re going to need all the Energy and antifragile confidence and emotional stamina you can get as you go for it.)

When you look at Mark Rampolla’s resume, he almost seems like he might secretly be The Most Interesting Man in the World. Here’s a partial list of the jobs Mark has held: Landscaper. Dishwasher. Peace Corp Volunteer. President of International Paper (a multinational corporation). CEO of Beanfields (aka, Chief Bean Fiend). Partner at Powerplant Ventures (a venture capital fund that invests in sustainable, plant-based businesses). Author of the book High Hanging Fruit. But he’s probably best known as the guy who started ZICO coconut water. Yep, he and his team essentially created an $8 billion beverage category - and believe it or not, the inspiration ties back to his days in the Peace Corps. We picked Mark’s brain on building a CPG brand to exit, what it’s like to go from entrepreneur to VC, and a whole lot more. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode. Presence = performance. According to Mark, when you make an effort to live in the moment and enjoy the journey, a funny thing happens. You enjoy life more - and you’re better at whatever you’re doing. Realize that “you’ve already won.” Mark tells us his lowest moment while building ZICO (he almost lost his house), and reveals how this piece of advice helped him dig himself out and get back on top. It pays to go after the “High Hanging Fruit.” It’s not just the title of Mark’s book. Going for the High Hanging Fruit means seeing beyond your limitations and striving for something greater. When you do that, magical things can happen. Jump to: Mark’s background, including why he joined the Peace Corps. 4:50 Mark explains why he moved to El Salvador to run a division of International Paper. 9:09 Mark tells the ZICO origin story. 12:35 Mark describe his lowest moment in the early days of ZICO, and how he overcame it. 17:30 Marks breaks down how he evaluates businesses that he invests in. 23:50 Check out Mark’s book, High Hanging Fruit.

Cash Flow Diary podcast guest Mark Rampolla is the man behind Zico Coconut Water. I’m talking about the highly popular coconut water beverage my family knows and loves!! Mark wrote a book that has to do with his journey, too. It’s titled High Hanging Fruit and it’s a recommended read. Mark wasn’t always the trend-setting entrepreneur he is today. BUT what drove him toward starting his own business is that he was never quite like his peers. He wasn’t into the trends, but he watched them with interest. He also knew how to set goals. So before he chose the product he wanted to launch he needed something that would scale. He wanted something healthy and that would make people’s lives better if they took it into their bodies. After lots of research and because he happens to love coconut water, Mark and his wife decided that’s what his road to wealth and success would be. This success didn’t happen overnight. But then when does that ever happen in real life? He put in 9 years of hard work up front as he grew his brand. Everyone in his little company worked toward his mission. (It’s always about more than just the possible money we can make, right?) The great news is that Mark’s little company isn’t little any longer. Because of Mark’s dedication and beliefs about the benefits of his products, he attracted excellent talent to the company, which made growth happen naturally. Mark’s story is very unique… and I don’t use that word often. This guy’s energy is contagious. He has a great amount of wisdom that he shares about building a business of YOUR dreams, and if this interview doesn’t motivate you to move further toward your goals, well, I don’t know what to say. Listen in particular to what Mark has to say about “going where others don’t want to go” to get to the success he now enjoys. Learn more. Listen now.
