Lululemon founder Chip Wilson shares his hard-earned wisdom about all things business.   Host Roland Frasier sat down with Chip at Traffic & Conversion Summit 2021 to pick his brain about anything and everything that has made him successful in life—above and beyond lululemon. From his philosophy on goal-setting to reading 100 books a year to inventing barbecue shorts and dog walker pants, Chip always has plenty of opinions, both popular and unpopular.   Listen in to their brilliant rapid-fire conversation.   Why does Chip have a thing for the number 43? Chip says everyone gets glasses at 43. When people get glasses, they think, “Oh my god, I'm getting old.” Couples look at each other. Their kids are teenagers and don't need their parents anymore. “Who are we together?” they ask. “Am I married to the right person? Do I live in the right city?” Chip thinks everyone should change their name at age 43. Unless they have a really cool name like Chip.   What is Chip's philosophy on personal development and goals? Chip says people tell you “a smart goal is achievable.” But he wonders if maybe we should fail at about 50% of our goals, as part of a training program to learn how to fail in life. When he first started setting goals, it was all about him. Life now is nearly perfect for him in every way. So, in order to stimulate himself, it has to be about other people winning. He moved from everything being about him to giving with no expectation of return. The Law of Attraction kicked in, and he started attracting people who were in it for something bigger than themselves.    What are Chip's favorite business books? When Chip was 19, he was working a construction job and had an opportunity to read the top 100 books. When he was 42, he listened to the top 100 business/health books as audio books and came to the conclusion that there are a handful of books that say it all. His top three are: Good to Great (Jim Collins); 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Stephen Covey); and Psychology of Achievement (Brian Tracy).   What does Chip mean when he talks about linguistic adaptation?  Words are always changing meaning, and we have to adapt. As far as culture goes, the term “values” is out, Chip says. “Vision” is out, and “purpose” is in. Chip took 30 terms out of those books he read, and that's what he runs his companies on. “Conditions and satisfaction.” When he's discussing a project with somebody, there's no end to the conversation unless they have conditions and satisfaction and a done-by date. “Integrity.” Integrity means I do what I say I will do when I say I will do it, and if I can't get it done, I'll go clean up my mess and reset new conditions and satisfaction. When everybody knows the terms and what they mean, then we're all on the same page.    What did Chip do as a lead magnet that was a huge success?  A lead magnet used to be called a loss leader. Roland says, if you call it a lead magnet, you can charge a lot of money to sell information about it. Chip had a lead magnet with yoga mats to get people in his lululemon stores. Yoga mats were easy to make and while other people needed to make a profit, he didn't. He owned his manufacturer. He just needed to get people in stores or online to get people to buy the clothing.    What was it like to sell lululemon? When Chip was getting ready to go public with lululemon, the board of directors said he had to divest from the manufacturing, but the manufacturing was a critical part of the vertical retail model. Boards of Directors operate out of fear of the U.S. litigation system, Chip says. They become mediocre and fail to become great. At the time, Chip had three very young boys and two older boys. He had missed a lot of his older kids' lives and didn't want to do that again. So he traded in this amazing company to be a family man.    What avatars did Chip create that became so successful? He created Ocean, a 32-year-old single professional woman, who owns a condo, is super stylish, travels, is athletic and super healthy. Ocean's male counterpart is a 37-year-old man named Duke. You reach these people by perfecting the concept of vertical retail.    The ultimate vertical business is where you make something in a factory in Vietnam, someone in Norway orders a piece, and it gets shipped right from the factory to the person. If you own your factory, your shipping, your ecommerce, your marketing, you can take all those margins instead of contracting it out.    What's the advantage of bootstrapping compared to having a lot of money? Chip started a company six years ago called Kit and Ace, cashmere you can put in the washer and dryer. He says they had too much money and threw too much at it. He bootstrapped lululemon for a long time. When you're bootstrapping, that's where the very best creative ideas come from. When you have a lot of money, there's no necessity to drive the invention.    What are some of those creative ideas that came from bootstrapping? Back in the day, he couldn't compete with Nike and Adidas with getting celebrity athletes, but he figured out that there's a level of athlete right under that not getting anything. They're the heroes in their community and have the most authenticity. Because he didn't have the money Nike did, he spent one-millionth of the money and offered free clothes to yoga instructors. They were in front of 40-50 people every day and more authentic than a rich athlete. Other past creative ideas include BBQ shorts and dogwalker pants.    If you want to find out more about Chip, check out his website. He's technically on social media, but someone else runs those accounts for him. “I don't need an extra dollar,” he says. “I don't need another friend. I'd rather be home spending time with my wife and kids.”   RESOURCES: chipwilson.com ethicallyprofit.com getepicchallenge.com Scalable.Co The Ready to Lead podcast DigitalMarketer Podcast Perpetual Traffic podcast   OUR PARTNERS: Get a free proposal from Conversion Fanatics Get 3% cash back on your ad spend with AdCard Get Roland's book, Zero Down, FREE

(w/ Tom Pullen)*******Hey guys!On this episode, I invited Innovinco CEO Tom Pullen to talk about the many ways we can develop learning habits and how we can turn ourselves into LEARNING BEASTS! Tune in as he mentions his 3 key tips to grow as a learner, and talk about what exactly 3D learning is. With loads of other topics to cover, this episode also has a LOT of books mentioned, and these books could definitely help you out on your journey as both a learner and an entrepreneur.Before becoming the CEO of his own company, Tom Pullen worked in the corporate industry as a leader in the companies he became part of. Starting out as a manager, Tom grew his career for the next 20 years from managerial positions to becoming the director of various departments in Danone, Mars, and Boots UK. Tom finally started his own company 4 years ago, named Innovinco.A generation innovation agency, Innovinco was founded to tackle crucial pain points that big companies could be suffering from regarding innovation. They focus on designing significant 100% customer centric solutions. There's also a YouTube channel which Tom hosts himself, detailing various subjects on innovation, and providing other key tips to help grow the way people can innovate.Tom believes that being able to visualize yourself as the version of you that you want to become can help speed up your learning process, noting that vision comes hand in hand with ambition. Without the desire to grow, you won't have enough willingness to create a vision of who you want to be. If you know where you want to get to, you'll know the steps to take in order to learn and get there.********Topics discussed on the show:********IntroductionTom's StoryWhat Corporate LacksLearning to Grow3 Key TipsHabits in Small ChunksLearning From The Best3D LearningVision and AmbitionStep Into Your Next VersionMaking CommitmentsGet a Habit TrackerChoose MomentsImportance of AudiobooksThe University of LifeWorking on MindfulnessStaying PresentLearning HacksSeeing the Insights of OthersPreparing to Make MistakesHigh Risk High RewardTom's Color Codingtom's Top 3 BooksWrapping Up********Where to find Tom:********Innovinco - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/innovincoInnovinco - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/innovinco/Tom's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tomjpullen/********Links Mentioned:********Audible: www.audible.comIdentity Shift - Anthony Trucks: https://identityshiftbook.comSharing Principles - Ray Dalio: https://www.principles.comMillionaire success habits - Dean Graziosi: https://www.audible.com/pd/Millionaire-Success-Habits-Audiobook/B07MDDDZFPBecoming Supernatural - Dr Joe Dispenza: https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Supernatural-Common-People-Uncommon-ebook/dp/B0746RN3G7Superfans Book - Pat Flynn: https://www.amazon.com/Superfans-Stand-Tribe-Successful-Business/dp/1949709469Jim Kwik: https://www.jimkwik.comThat Will Never Work - Marc Randolph: https://www.amazon.com/That-Will-Never-Work-Netflix/dp/0316530204Brand Failures - Matt Haig: https://www.amazon.com/Brand-Failures-Biggest-Branding-Mistakes/dp/074946299XFuck Up Nights: https://www.fuckupnights.comThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey: https://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-People-Powerful/dp/0743269519Shoe Dog - Phil Knight: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27220736-shoe-dog

Fiindcă discuția dintre mine și Cristina Chipurici a fost foarte apreciată și mulți mi-ați scris că v-a plăcut (în ciuda faptului că a avut 3 ore!

We tend to set goals that are focused on achieving outcomes rather than honing in on the process. As a result, we either fail to reach our goals, or meet them but cannot sustain them. If you want to be a top performer, if you want to have more meaningful relationships, if you want to live a healthy and prosperous life, you need the processes and systems in place to take you to the next level. Your life is the sum of your habits and if you want to experience any type of transformational change to enhance your quality of life, you need to focus on your habits. Not on your goals. In this episode, Sina Haghighat takes you through 5 steps to build success habits of your own and provides his own personal examples that have put him in the best shape of his life both physically and mentally. The habits he has instilled have raised his self-awareness, increased his confidence, provided structure and stimulated learning and growth. By applying these steps, you will experience transformational change.If you have enjoyed the last 3 solo episodes, on discovering your purpose, setting goals and building success habits, Sina will be launching an online course soon which dives into these areas in more detail. The course is all about you, your journey, your strengths, your passions and your purpose.

“They worry about what may happen or whether they’re going to make a sale next week, or next month, or ever again…Why are you worrying about those things, when you should be worrying about the things you can control? That’s all you should worry about; the things you can control….& rather than be worried about them why don’t you do something about it?”   Drew Davies is the selling principal & director of Place Ascot, a residential real estate sales firm employing 17 staff & turning over 9-figures+ worth of inner-city property per annum. In just 6 short years Drew entered the industry, clawed his way out of credit card debt & established himself as one of the top luxury agents in Ascot & Hamilton, breaking sales records & generating millions of dollars in gross commission along the way. Drew is perhaps best known for his presence on social media, having amassed over 32,000 loyal followers on Instagram -- making him Australia’s most followed agent on the platform.

“Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount 
of work not done--is essential.” ~From the 12 Principles of Agile Software https://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html It is one of the most basic responsibilities of the Product Owner and one almost every PO struggles with... saying "No" to people who ask for things. A Product Owner who can't say No is going to end up with a Product Backlog jammed full of things that can't be done. This puts the entire organization at risk. At the same time, a PO who is constantly telling Senior Management "No" to all their requests may find themselves "being offered the opportunity to enjoy working at another company." So, how do you go say "No" from a position of strength and safety? How do you know that saying "No" is really the right response? What kind of challenges do you need to be ready for? How can you prepare for those uncomfortable moments when you are waiting to see if you will be thanked for your honesty and candor, or told to leave your ID badge with HR on your way out? In this episode of the Reluctant Agilist, Tim Wise joins me to talk through various aspects of the challenge of saying "No." Links from the Podcast Agile Day Atlanta http://agiledayatlanta.com Books Mentioned Turn the Ship Around - L.

It is hard to believe that the last time I had a complete show featuring Dr. Janet Stout was in July of 2017.  That was only episode 9, making her one of my first guests! Since that time, she has been on a few shows when I ran into her at various conventions we both attended.  Janet has always been a strong supporter of the water treatment community and Scaling UP! H2O.   Since airing the interview with Janet back in 2017, I would have thought that by now, we would have seen more movement on legislation around the topic of legionellosis prevention.  There has been a multitude of legionella outbreaks over the last three years, including a significant one in my hometown of Atlanta, GA. Today, most of us are still waiting for our cities to catch up to what other countries have been doing for years. While we wait, almost every party involved has questions on how to proceed in the prevention of Legionnaires Disease.  Owners confuse a water treatment program with a Water Management Plan.  Whether you like government getting involved or not, I think we can all agree that having a standard to conform to is better than having the “grey lines” most of us have to navigate through today.   In this two-part episode, Janet fills us in on what has taken place in the world of “legionellology”.  Janet created this term to better capture the work she does.  Among this update includes the revision of ASHRAE’s 188, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services position, and even some new bacteria guidelines you may never have heard of. I know you will receive a wealth of information about legionella from these two episodes.     My hope is you also are empowered to understand this preventable disease. How are we supposed to fight a battle without any tools?  Sure, we have the tools, but our customers are not allowing us to use them in many cases due to cost and a general misunderstanding of responsibilities.   Please talk to your customers and help them understand that we all play a part in this “grey battle” called legionellosis prevention. Until a standard gives us guidelines, we have to partner with facility owners and managers to help them make better decisions.  Janet Stout's Specialties: Legionella and waterborne pathogens  Key Points From This Episode:   Rising Tide Mastermind [0:00:04]   New Year's Resolution [0:01:45]   AWT Business Owner's Meeting [0:04:10]   What's New With Legionella? [0:08:21]     Legionella's Disease [0:15:18]   Depressed Cooling Tower [0:22:51]   Biggest Misconception About Legionella's Disease [0:24:40]   And A Lot More!   Tweetables  "Don't rinse your CPAP devices in tap water, you are opening yourself up to legionella's disease.

If I were to ask you what are the qualities that you most want for your children, students, employees, or even for yourself so that you can reach those optimal levels of health, well-being and happiness, (no matter what part of the world you are listening from),  the answer would probably sound something like this.  “I want to them to develop a healthy mind, to pursue excellence, to have the skills needed to excel independently, to have compassion and empathy for others, to acquire the skills needed in this ever-changing world, or to adopt the mindset of lifelong learning that’s needed to thrive not just survive in this world” –something along those lines that focuses on developing the minds of our next generation with social and emotional skills.In order to bridge this gap between knowing and actually implementing these skills, we must first of all have a clear understanding of what they are. If social and emotional skills are skills that we could say are of the developed mind, and we are moving into cognitive skills of the brain, it leads us to question what is the difference between the mind and the brain before we continue further? Once we have a clear definition of each of these, it’s much easier to continue to develop and implement these strategies needed for improved results. Have you ever thought about what your mind is? What about your brain? And how are they different?Dr. Dan Siegel, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and the founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center at UCLA, (who I’m so excited to share will be coming on the podcast later next month) has spent a considerable amount of time defining the mind.[i] He was shocked when he first started to study the mind and began surveying mental health professionals around the world who should know about the mind that “95% of them had never even been given a lecture on the mind, and probably couldn’t even tell you what the definition of the mind was”[ii] so he wondered how can we expect  to develop it, without this understanding? He explores the concept of the mind in his book, Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation[iii] where he proves that you can define what a healthy mind is, not just describe it. His book allows that Mindsight “is the potent skill that is the basis for both emotional and social intelligence.”[iv] He explains that psychology means the study of the mind and behavior and elaborates that “when a parent senses the inner mental life of their child, (their mind) their child does really well in life. This ability to see the mind actually changes the structure of their brain. It’s called neural integration.”[v] Siegel further explains that when we can adopt this practice of “seeing the inner-life” or the minds of our students, children, friends or family members, it makes a considerable difference in the results and well-being that they achieve. Even developing our own practice of being more mindfully present of our own inner mind can “change the ends of the chromosomes in your cells”[vi] proving that what you do with your mind, makes a difference for the health of your body and your relationships.Dan Siegel explains that a neuroscientist would define the mind “as the activity of the brain”[vii] but he could not settle on this definition as a therapist since this would mean our brain would control everything that we do. He came up with a definition in the mid-1990s that made the most sense  to him and his colleagues and it was that the mind “is an embodied and relational process—since it’s in the body and it’s in our relationships with one another—that regulates the flow of energy and information.”[viii]  This definition really got me thinking. I probably listened to it for a good week.It got me thinking about the flow of energy and information and how it comes into our body through our senses, and what we do with this information to cause the results in our life. One of my first mentors studied the mind intensively and came up with a picture diagram that he called the stickperson[ix] that originated from the work of the late Dr. Thurman Fleet from San Antonio, Texas, who was the founder of Concept Therapy. Dr. Fleet’s diagram of the mind included the conscious mind that included how we perceive the outside world with our five senses, our (sight, touch, taste, hearing and smell) which is how we take in information from the outside world, along with the six higher faculties of our mind, our (perception, reasoning, will, memory, imagination and intuition) that give us a deeper perspective of the information we receive. The diagram also shows the sub-conscious (or non-conscious mind as it is more commonly called today) where information comes in automatically, and the fact that what we think about with our mind, shows up with our thoughts, feelings and actions, and causes the results in our life as our conditions, circumstances and environment change based on the actions that we take.[x]  Dr. Fleet’s diagram shows how important it is that we understand how our mind operates in order to reach our highest levels of potential.In our last interview with the Founding Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of the book Permission to Feel,[xi] Marc Brackett reminded us that “people don’t lose their jobs because of a lack of ability in the cognitive areas, it’s usually because of social skills—someone who just doesn’t fit into the organization for some reason, or who can’t seem to get along with the team.”[xii]  Developing these social skills of the mind is what we all want. These are the universal skills that we want for ourselves and for others and it’s interesting that it’s taken so long for our schools to put an emphasis on developing the minds of our next generation of students.The benefits of learning these skills does take time to be seen, but the research is evident.  Casel (the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning) has clear research that proves that implementing these SEL skills will improve students’ academic abilities. Casel’s meta-analysis of 213 studies involving 270,000+ students showed that “SEL interventions that address CASEL’s five core competencies (that we have covered in our social and emotional track) increased students’ academic performance by 11 percentile points, compared to students who did not participate in such SEL programs. Students also showed improved classroom behavior, an increased ability to manage stress and depression, and better attitudes about themselves, others, and school.[xiii]   The research also showed that we as parents, educators, coaches and counselors must first of all practice these concepts ourselves, before we teach others because if we haven’t developed a practice ourselves, our students will pick up on the lack of authenticity and won’t take the concept seriously either.Marc Brackett also shared with us that the social and emotional competencies were harder to learn and implement than the cognitive strategies. He reminded us in episode 22 that “we can’t be sure that once we have learned a strategy (for example like one for improving our mindset) that we will then be able to implement that strategy while under stress whereas memorization of our times tables, a cognitive skill, is much easier to learn, use and remember.”[xiv] It’s a lifelong commitment to understanding ourselves, our emotions and continuing to apply the strategies to regulate us. We should refer back to the strategies in the social and emotional lessons to be sure that we are continuing to “sharpen the saw”[xv] and implementing these ideas for continual improved results. Once we have a solid practice for developing our social and emotional mindset, (understanding ourselves and our emotions) it makes sense to move onto the cognitive strategies which are the processes of thinking and include the ability to focus and pay attention, set goals, plan and organize, persevere and problem solve.[xvi] If cognition is the realm of thinking, then metacognition involves thinking about our thinking, reflecting on your own thinking process and the ability to monitor and manage your learning. This is where we must begin to create a plan to improve what we would like to learn.  It is possible to learn anything with the right study habits, the ability to practice and refine the skills needed, with a positive growth mindset, we can create those “Aha Moments” of learning that come when we persist through something we are working on.What Slows Down Our Learning?Stress and anxiety make it difficult for learning to occur. When you feel threatened or anxious, the brain releases chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol. These chemicals quickly alter the way that you think, feel and behave and shut down the oldest part of the brain that are designed to keep us safe when we feel stress. It’s smart to learn quick and simple relaxation strategies that you can use immediately when you feel stressed or anxious. Taking some deep, long breaths can fuel your brain for focused attention and learning and prevent your emotions from taking control. If you are looking for a longer term solution, research does show that those who consistently practice mindfulness and mediation strategies, decrease the size of the amygdala, (the part of the brain that highjacks our emotions) and improves our ability to handle stressful situations so that we possess more equanimity, a mental calmness, composure and evenness of temper, especially during difficult situations.What Strengthens Our Brain and Cognition?When you are curious and interested, you will be ready to put in the effort needed to work hard and concentrate on new information. You must also be happy and relaxed in order to consolidate this new information. In his book Words Can Change Your Brain[xvii], Mark Robert Waldman outlines his brain-scan research suggesting that “the strategies incorporated in mindfulness could strengthen the neural circuits associated with empathy, compassion and moral decision making .”[xviii] This demonstrates just how powerful it can be to stop and think . Incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine can enable you to be more observant, creative, and ready to see the opportunity within your daily obstacles and challenges.Here are Three Tips to Strengthen Your Brain and Cognition That You Can Implement Immediately:Take brief relaxation breaks to maintain focus and improve your ability to problem solve. We must find a way to relax our brain and body. It’s during these “resting states” that remarkable activity takes place, allowing the brain to creatively solve problems. Dr. Srini Pillay, an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, wrote a book about the importance of this resting period in his book, Tinker, Dabble, Doodle, Try: Unlock the Power of the Unfocused Mind.[xix] In this book Pillay explains that too much focus depletes your brain of glucose and depletes you. Be mindful of ways to eliminate decision fatigue and allow those times for your mind to become unfocused. He shared that Einstein discovered his Theory of Relativity by using his intuition, and then used logic to explain it. Unfocused time can take you to places and insights where focus cannot.Improve the circuits of your brain by learning to look within for answers. In his book, “Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation” Dr . Siegel shares that teachers introduced to “mindsight or the ability to focus on the inner life of their student or child” teach with the brain in mind and are reaching students in deeper and more lasting ways .”[xx] The research shows that developing the ability to make sense of your own life and past experiences, translates into the development of your students and children. Dr. Siegel is an expert on Attachment Research and discusses the fact that having Mindsight ourselves, will help develop securely attached children who will learn resilience.Create a plan for persistence. If your first plan does not succeed, what will you try next. Map out strategies for your plan b and be ready to pivot or try something new if the first plan fails. Those who fail, often attribute their failure to lack of inspiration, ability, talent or lack of time, but most often it’s due to insufficient application of strategies towards a goal and lack of persistence. I hope you have found these tips and further study of the mind vs the brain to be helpful as we move into the cognitive track and dive deeper into how we can use our brain to facilitate and improve our ability to learn and create lasting results. I’m excited to speak with Dr. Siegel the start of November. His work has inspired a lot of my early research into the brain and there’s no one like him who can explain such complex concepts in a way that anyone can understand them.  I look forward to bringing in new experts to inspire new ways of thinking around the power and purpose of our brain in our cognitive track.  See you next time. RESOURCES:Integrating Social, Emotional and Academic Development (SEAD) March 2019 The Aspen Institute https://www.aspeninstitute.org/publications/integrating-social-emotional-and-academic-development-sead-an-action-guide-for-school-leadership-teams/“How to Reach the Aha Moment of Learning” Diagram adapted by Andrea Samadi with permission https://www.dropbox.com/s/lktxwm2u130vllr/18-Metacognition.jpg?dl=0REFERENCES:[i] Dr. Dan Siegel Defines The Mind Published Feb. 11, 2010 on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEdq04xbHAs[ii] TEDx Sunset Park Dr. Dan Siegel “What is the Mind?” YouTube Published July 4, 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak5GCyBFY4E[iii] Mindsight: The New Science of Transformation Dr. Dan Siegel https://www.drdansiegel.com/about/mindsight/[iv] Mindsight: The New Science of Transformation Dr. Dan Siegel https://www.drdansiegel.com/about/mindsight/[v] TEDx Sunset Park Dr. Dan Siegel “What is the Mind?” YouTube Published July 4, 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak5GCyBFY4E[vi] TEDx Sunset Park Dr. Dan Siegel “What is the Mind?” YouTube Published July 4, 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak5GCyBFY4E[vii] Dr. Dan Siegel Defines The Mind Published Feb. 11, 2010 on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEdq04xbHAs[viii] Dr. Dan Siegel Defines The Mind Published Feb. 11, 2010 on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEdq04xbHAs[ix] How Your Mind Works Proctor Gallagher Institute, idea originally from Dr. Thurman Fleet  https://www.proctorgallagherinstitute.com/25593/how-your-mind-works[x] How Your Mind Works Proctor Gallagher Institute, idea originally from Dr. Thurman Fleet  https://www.proctorgallagherinstitute.com/25593/how-your-mind-works[xi] Marc Brackett “Permission to Feel” https://www.marcbrackett.com/[xii] Marc Brackett on the Importance of Emotional Intelligence https://www.pbs.org/wnet/amanpour-and-company/video/marc-brackett-on-the-importance-of-emotional-intelligence/[xiii] The Impact of SEL https://casel.org/impact/[xiv] EPISODE #22 Interview with Marc Brackett, Founding Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/founding-director-yale-center-for-emotional-intelligence/id1469683141?i=1000450933434[xv] Sharpen the Saw 7th Habit of Highly Effective People Stephen Covey https://www.franklincovey.com/the-7-habits/habit-7.html[xvi] Integrating Social, Emotional and Academic Development (SEAD) March 2019 The Aspen Institute https://www.aspeninstitute.org/publications/integrating-social-emotional-and-academic-development-sead-an-action-guide-for-school-leadership-teams/[xvii] Andrew Newburg M .D . and Mark Robert Waldman, “Words Can Change Your Brain,” (The Penguin Group, New York, New York) Page 12https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0074VTHMA/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1[xviii] Andrew Newburg M .D . and Mark Robert Waldman, “Words Can Change Your Brain,” (The Penguin Group, New York, New York) Page 12https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0074VTHMA/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1[xix] Dr. Srini Pillay Tinker, Dabble, Doodle, Try: Unlok the Power of the Unfocused Mind https://www.amazon.com/Tinker-Dabble-Doodle-Try-Unfocused-ebook/dp/B01JWDZ7SK/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=pillay+tinker&qid=1570042219&s=digital-text&sr=1-1[xx] Dan Siegel, Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation, (New York: Bantam, 2010) Kindle Edition Location 133 https://www.amazon.com/Mindsight-New-Science-Personal-Transformation-ebook/dp/B002XHNONS/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=mindsight&qid=1570042869&s=digital-text&sr=1-1 

Born and raised in the Midwest to a very conservative, faith-based, working-class family, he observed early on, first just intrigued, then puzzled and eventually dumbfounded, by the inconsistencies and down-right contradictions of those in authority in terms of “what-they-said” vs. “what-they-did”, and particularly, “what-they-said-they-knew”. He was fortunate to have had several key “influencers” during this time who were patient with his development. Some were healthily demanding, others were masterful at the Socratic method.Following my under-grad and graduate work in Psychology, I taught Psychology at a small, private college, and soon after transitioned into industry and worked as a Production Supervisor. Several years later, he transitioned into Health Care, in the Human Resources arena. During these years he was introduced to “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” (Stephen Covey) and became a certified facilitator, presenting this program to businesses, schools, churches and jails.He now volunteers with a variety of organizations focusing on optimizing healthy, effective human development. The 7 Habits are his template for the design, implementation, and assessment of those strategies. Of course, it is a lifelong process.“This bio would be disastrously incomplete if not for the mention (better the highlighting) of the immeasurable influence my wife of over 50 years, 4 grown “kids” and the joy of 10 grandchildren. It is a gift beyond words to hear, from even the youngest of these, the seeds of the questions that will, and rightly so, take a lifetime to explore and live out.”

What dream have you always wanted to achieve? Have you worked on this for a couple weeks then gone back to your old habits? In this episode we go into the ways that you can set your goals and actually achieve them. If you are able to start with the big picture then break it down to the smaller details, you’ll be off to a great start. Along the way you will find that having an accountability partner and checkpoints will help you to achieve an even higher level of success.Many of us, naturally, will give up on our goals when the hard times come, but as Tom Bilyeu says, “When times get hard, you go harder.” We all know that it is easier to start than it is to finish, so we need to stay disciplined in the goals we have. Having a goal that goes along with our passions makes it that much easier to accomplish your goal.Hosts: Ryan Gardner and Nik Hall“Start with the big picture then break it down into smaller details”Resources: -Grit - Angela Duckworth [book]-7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey [book]-Hoopla [audiobook app]-Audible [audiobook app]Connect & Subscribe: Website: earnedeffort.comInstagram: instagram.com/earnedeffortFacebook: facebook.com/EarnedEffortTwitter: twitter.com/EarnedEffortEmail: hello@earnedeffort.comSubscribe and listen on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Overcast, Google Play, or YouTubeLeave a review on Apple PodcastsFollow Your Hosts: Nik’s Instagram: instagram.com/nikolashallRyan’s Instagram: instagram.com/RyanGardnerCRyan’s Twitter: twitter.com/RyanGardnerCRyan's Goodreads: goodreads.com/RyanGardnerC

Brigitte Barrow is committed to helping youth prepare for their future because she has walked a very difficult road herself. Her journey has taken her from runaway to speaker and coach to youth-focused organizations - Brigitte’s story is itself inspirational, a demonstration of what is possible when a young person is properly taught and equipped. On this episode of Happy Black Woman, Rosetta and Brigitte talk about her story, unpack the most important areas of focus Brigitte emphasizes to organizations that are helping youth prepare for real life, and then turn a corner to dive into Brigitte’s business and the strategies she uses to be productive and on-track with her mission. You’ll enjoy this episode so be sure you listen. 4 steps to help youth prepare for the future. It’s important for youth to become self-reliant - that’s the only way they can become truly beneficial, productive members of society and live a life of meaning. Brigitte Barrow is dedicated to helping youth learn the things necessary to be who they need to be in the world and she emphasizes 4 main things: mindset, education, income, and housing. You can hear how she defines those and why she believes them to be so important as she explains her approach to Rosetta - it’s all on this episode. The things young people need to understand about their income. One of the most liberating or debilitating things in life is the issue of income. You can have too little and become demoralized and depressed, not to mention poor - or you can have what you need and be set up for great opportunities and a more positive outlook on life. Brigitte Barrows is in the business of helping youth-focused organizations unpack the mysteries and intricacies of finances and income for youth, so they can not only understand it but also learn how to take control of it for their own benefit. This is a fascinating part of the conversation so be sure you don’t miss it. Stay productive by creating a list of most important tasks and keeping it near you. When Rosetta asked her guest, Brigitte Barrow, how she stays productive, Brigitte said she starts her workday by making a quick list of the most important tasks she must accomplish for the day. But that’s not all. She keeps the list next to her all the time, just in case she gets distracted or finds herself off track. Having the list nearby enables her to refocus and get back on track right away, which increases her productivity. We’re all going to get distracted from time to time - Brigitte’s tip helps us manage that reality to our advantage. You can hear more great tips like this from Brigitte on this episode. Pray like it all depends on God, take action like it all depends on you. There’s a strange combination of things that go into any success. Hard work, on the one hand, enables us to make the most of our opportunities. But the opportunities themselves are often far outside our personal control. We can’t make them happen. Brigitte Barrow says that’s why she has adopted the practice of doing something a minister once told her, “Pray like it all depends on God and take action like it all depends on you.” Faith in action - it’s vital that we not go too far in either direction at the expense of the other.

There are few things that are certain in life – and death is one of those.   Death has always been seen as the conclusion of life. But for Stephen Garrett, he sees new beginnings and opportunities in death to cultivate positivity and powerful change. Stephen is a death coach, but it hasn't always been the case. For some time, he served people as a life coach but noticed that while this enabled people to change their lives, it is often short-lived. He observed, however, that death is a more potent tool to create profound and long-lasting changes.   He believes that we must face and embrace death instead of avoiding it. In this episode, we discussed the emotions that accompany death and share our own experiences dealing with the death of loved ones, and people close to us who have also struggled with grief and loss.   Just some of the things we covered today are:   The deeper purpose of being a death educator and coach, and the process of getting rid of grief which is not done alone, and must be received by another individual without judgment (1:40). The Dying to Live experience/program he does with his clients and my emotional experience of writing my own eulogy (6:20). Seeing death as a teacher, friend, and ally, instead of an enemy, and allowing it to inspire life instead of discouraging it (11:17; 1:01:12). Present day fear of death caused by lack of practice and exposure, unlike 150 years ago when the natural cycle of life is more apparent through nature, home and family (12:23). How our demeanor towards elders reflect our fear of death (14:03). The markers/signposts of grief, and why Stephen does not want to necessarily use the term ‘stages', and his take on how Shakespeare described parting as a sweet sorrow (22:41). Stephen's insights on the grief associated with infertility, stillbirth, babies, and children dying (27:28). How love/joy and grief/sorrow are correlated, and the difficulty getting over these feelings (32:39). The point when grief and sorrow become unhealthy, the potential effects of suppressing or dwelling too much on sorrow, and how to balance the darkness with the lightness (40:20). The significance of practicing gratitude amidst challenges, and how it allows us to manage our priorities and see what's important in our life (45:04). Grieving relationships to get emotional and mental baggage out, and what you can do for someone who is grieving (52:33). The two components of the grieving process, the role of rituals and exercises in the appreciation of the life or relationship that was lived and experienced (58:26). Experiencing loneliness in the spiritual and physical plane, and the inevitable attachment after a loss (1:03:35). Loving someone who has experienced grief and loss (1:09:22).   To connect with Stephen and other related links, see below: Stephen Garrett | Author, Coach & Educator Phone: 604-328-7054 Email: stephen[at]embraceyourdeath.com Alive In Death | Death, Dying, Grief and Self-Care Training for Health Care Providers Begin with the End in Mind - 7 Habits of Highly Effective People | Stephen Covey   The reality is relationships aren't just about the good times – hardships, breakups, and even death happen.

At some point you're going to discover you don't know everything. What's going to be most amazing is when you realize that there are things you haven't even realized you should know. I like to say it this way, "You don't know what you don't know."  That being said, there's almost nothing better for your personal growing and 'getting better' than reading.
