Responding to Christ - Matthew 11-20-30-Sermon Notes--1- --------------------- - vv20-24-2- --------------------- - vv25-27-3- --------------------- - vv28-30-Digging Deeper---How are you responding to the truth about Jesus---What does this passage teach about coming judgment---Why are you a Christian- How did that come about---What burdens does Jesus take away from us- How---What does it mean to be yoked with Christ--Other Passages to Consider- -Isa 1-18- 55-1-7- Rom 1-18-25- 1 Cor 1-26-31- 2 Cor 4-3-6- Eph 1-3-7- 2-4-10- Col 1-19-23- Rev 20-11-15.
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:1-3) 19 No matter how much you go to church, how well your name is engraved on its stained windows, or whatmore, or on its book, it’ll never mean nothing to you, until you are a witness of the resurrection of Jesus Christ by the infilling of the power of the Holy Spirit. You are taking somebody else’s word. Why, I’d say… “Well, Brother Branham, I know that Jesus is the Christ, ’cause the Bible said so.” The Bible is right, but what do you know about it? See? It’s an individual affair with every individual. It must be a personal witness that every person must have in order to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, is when His Spirit bears record with your spirit, in an experience of the new birth, borned again and you cry, “Abba, Father.” 20 Oh, my. If we had a world like that tonight, the Millennium would be on, wouldn’t it? That’s right. When your spirit bears record with His Spirit that you’re sons and daughters of God, then you are witnesses of God. Someone said the other day, said, “Brother Branham, you believe God by faith. Abraham believed God by faith and that’s all that you can do. There is no experience with it.” I said, “Oh, yes, my brother.” He said, “How… What more can you do than believe God?” I said, “That’s all you can do.” Said, “That’s what I thought.” I said, “But Abraham believed God. By faith he believed God and God gave him the confirmation of his faith by the sign of circumcision. And we believe God by faith, and God gave us the baptism of the Holy Ghost as a sign of the seal of the promise of our faith.” See, see? Ephesians 4:30 says, “Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby you’re sealed until the day of your redemption.” That’s the seal of the covenant now, is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 21 You believe God and say you believe God, and haven’t received the Holy Spirit, there’s something wrong with your faith. ’Cause God’s under obligation to give every believer that repents and is baptized, is under obligation to give you the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And He’s more willing to give it to you, than you are to receive it. That’s right. So there’s something wrong somewhere. You just got a mental faith and instead of a heart faith. For God’s under obligation to keep His Word. He said, “Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and your children, to them that’s far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” That’s true. And God’s got to keep that promise.

Let’s revisit the topic of student success from the expectations side of the equation. WHAT we teach is definitely a big part of student success but if that's all there was to it, most students across our nations would have already been successful. But as every teacher knows, teaching and student success are not that simple. There's actually a couple of parts to student success. Part of this is HOW/WHAT you teach, part of it is the EXPECTATIONS that you set with your words and tone in your classroom and the last part is the EXPECTATIONS you set about specific students [even unconsciously] in your head by how you think about and speak about your students outside of class. Today, I'm sharing what I know about the expectations part of the student success equation.

What is the power line? What is the finance line? How are resources allocated? How is authority enforced? Who has rights? What are the caste levels in that society? A great start to Nancy's writing is her novel, the near-future speculative fiction "Beggars in Spain." If you prefer thrillers is "Stinger." For space opera read "The Probability Series."

Isaac’s life story is a powerful and beautiful example of how to chart a course of success, peace, and prosperity in the midst of a widespread, existential threat. His solutions and strategies were counter intuitive and for many, just plain crazy. Yet, while everyone all around him was experiencing devastation, he was experiencing the blessings associated with walking in the ways of the Lord. No matter what this world threw at him, it would not stick. He continued to rise and grow stronger. How? What were his strategies? How did he overcome the obstacles? Why did he rise and prosper when everyone around him were descending into misery and hopelessness? If applied today, can these principles and strategies work for us? Join us and find out these crucial answers!
A Mini Series on Mental HealthThe concepts covered in this mini series are relevant to grad school, and several other positions or stages in your career or life (for example - post doc, early career, and beyond). Mental, emotional, and physical health are important for each of us throughout our life, however, in a graduate school setting many of us can put these on the back burner, so we will spend some time in a mini series discussing some of these topic areas. Part 1: Introduction to mental health, why is it important and how to prioritize your health above other external pressures you may face during your graduate education (and beyond).Mental health is a very broad topic, so let’s first start with what we mean by health in this context, and why we believe it is important enough for an entire mini series. Mental health encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being (mentalhealth.gov reference!). Mental health impacts our thoughts, feelings, actions, and even our physical health/well-being. How we handle stress, relationships, and the actions we choose all are impacted by our mental health. What are the factors that contribute/influence our mental health? Family history/biologyExperiences What should we consider when entering into graduate school (related to mental health)? Why ‘seeking help’ is you prioritizing yourself and your health, and not something to be ashamed of or a weakness - in fact, it means you are strong, smart, and making healthy choices for yourself.How? What resources are available to you?Knowing yourself and your response to stressful or mentally taxing relationships, situations, etc.‘Warning’ signsSeeking help ‘man’s search for meaning’ (title of a book by Victor Frenkel - the main ‘jist’ was that maintaining hope and believing in yourself and that you matter is essential to surviving) - it is easy to get lost in day-to-day struggles, and feel you are not contributing or have feelings of ‘what i am doing is meaningless’. Taking a step back to understand what each of us seeks at a basic human level can help place your ‘struggle’ in perspective. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thank you for being a listener to our podcast.

Study Guide Shabbat 23 Today's shiur is dedicated by Heather Stone in memory of Debbie bat Shirley z"l, the best friend of her Aunt, Debbie Stone, who passed away before Shabbat from COVID19. The gemara concludes that the mitzva is the lighting of the Chanika candles and not placing them down. Women are obligated in the mitzva of the Chanuka candles as they too were part of the miracle. In what way? Best to use olive oil for lighting Chanuka candles, even though all other oils can also be used. Same with preparing ink. How many blessings does one make on Chanuka candles? Which ones? What about a person who sees Chanuka candles? Do they make blessings? Which ones? How can be say the blessing "who commanded us" if Chanuka is not a Torah obligation? What is the determining factor for which rabbinic commandments we make blessings and on which do we not? If one has two different entraceways for one's courtyard, does one need to light in both entrances? On what does it depend? Why are we concerned about what others will think - where is there precendent for that? It is learned from pe'ah - the mitzva of leaving the corner of one's field for the poor. How? What has precedence (if one can't afford all) Shabbat candles, Chanuka candles and woine for kiddush? The gemara relates good things that will happen to people who light Shabbat and Chanuka candles (and some other mitzvot). The gemara explains what is "sereifa" oil mentioned in the mishna gives two different explanations as to why it is forbidden.

The Coronavirus: I'm learning about it alongside all of you. As we watch the news stories about cities in China being quarantined, as we've seen the virus travel from country to country, as we wait to see whether this outbreak will reach disastrous proportions and death tolls. Because I'm supposed to travel to Seattle this week and Washington is the epicenter of deaths in this country, this decision has numerous personal implications. I called the nurse at UW to talk about whether I should attend my appointment and this is what I learned. Do I make a decision out of self-protection and some amount of fear? Is it foolish to proceed? If I get exposed, I am at HIGH risk to contract the virus. Will I be in spaces where I'm likely to be exposed? Are you impacted by the coronavirus? How? What would you do?

Having goals to achieve and metrics to measure your progress can take a lot of the subjectivity out and give you a clear view of where you need to focus and improve. But what to measure ? How ? What metronomes to use ? This is the essence of this episode of our podcast for the tech-minded music lovers.

Have you planned for 2020? Today I’ll shed some light on planning for the upcoming year now that we’re approaching the end of 2019. Making a business plan doesn’t have to be that complicated. I think a lot of real estate agents, and people in general, tend to overthink things. Today let me break it down into three parts so you can put together your business plan for 2020. Last year, the Robert Mack Group had a team retreat; the theme was crafted around the questions “What, Why, and How?” WHAT: How many families do we want to help? How many homes do we want to sell? WHY: What is the driving force behind all your activities? HOW: What do we have to do on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis to be able to achieve our goals? Suppose you want to sell 12 homes in 2020. Knowing what that number is is a fantastic start, but knowing how you can get there is a whole different ball game. You might have to break it down first. If you want to sell 12 homes in a year, that means you’ll have to sell one home per month. “Having a strong motivating factor that will inspire you to do what you have to do is a powerful aspect of achieving your goals.” From there, what do you need to do on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis? Who do you need to call? What should you say on those calls? How long should calls last? Do you have to go to networking events and meet with other professionals? Do you have to send out mailers, call expired listings, knock on FSBO’s doors? There’s no wrong way to generate a lead, but you have to know what to do on a micro-level in order to achieve your macro-level goal. Don’t forget your ‘why,’ either. Having a strong motivating factor that will inspire you to do what you have to do is a powerful aspect of achieving your goals. In real estate, there are no standards or thresholds to get into the business, so motivation will fuel your fire to ensure you succeed. If you want to have a great home for you and your family, that’s your why. If you want to take your spouse on a trip, that’s your why. If you want to pay off your parents’ house for them, that’s your why. If you want to build an animal sanctuary because you’re passionate about animals, that’s your why. There’s almost certainly something there beyond wanting to make money so you can be financially free—everyone wants that. What are you going to do with the money that you’ll earn from the families you help? If you know another agent in the marketplace who might benefit from seeing this video, feel free to pass it along to them. If you’re a solo agent or you’ve been in this business for a while and you’re looking for something bigger and better, reach out to me. We can discuss how my team operates and figure out whether or not our process would be good for you. Hope to hear from you soon!

The Holy Spirit - We are Family Series Part 3 In this episode we wrap up our 3-part series on the Trinity with the Holy Spirit. We talk about how the Holy Spirit is the love between the Father and the Son and is our Advocate and Comforter. We are invited into a dynamic relationship with the Person of the Holy Spirit, Who desires to empower, strengthen, guide, and comfort us in personal ways. We also chat about the invitation to let go of our misconceptions about who the Holy Spirit is so we can experience who He really is. When we give Him full access, like Mary did, we grow in sensitivity to His movements and can operate in the power of God in new ways.

In today's episode of The Speakers Life I talk with Kevin Cottam, speaker on the nomadic lifestyle. What speakers can learn from Harley Davidson branding Non-verbal communication Speaking in the round Understanding your performance space Expanding and contracting Entertainer vs Performer Fredrik Haren Signposts Finding your inner theme Writing 'The Nomadic Mindset' book Finding the stories What does being nomadic mean? The movement of the mind The power of the circle Freedom and flexibility Starving the body The Berber's of Morrocco Three cups of tea From service to hospitality Simplicity and agility Nomadic, builder, settler Seeing the opportunities The gig economy Cognitive flexibility https://www.thenomadicmindset.com Artificial Intelligence Generated Transcript Below is a machine-generated transcript and therefore the transcript may contain errors. Hey, there is James Taylor. I'm delighted today to have on the Speakers Life, Kevin Cottam. Kevin is a speaker, and author who writes and things and talks all about the idea of the nomadic mindset. We learn a lot more about that today and how that relates to us as speakers. But he didn't start out as a speaker, he actually started out as a figure skater in his native Canada. And we're going to learn about that how you go from being a figure skater into the world of professional speaking. But today, what he's able to do is he travels all around the world, talking and talking to different types of nomads. And it's my real pleasure to have him on our show today. So welcome, Kevin. It's always a great time to spend with James. Thank you very much. So share with us what's going on in your life just now. Well, what's going on in my life right now is is the book the nomadic mindset never settle for too long is having its live launch in Singapore tomorrow, which I'm very excited about in the in the group thing about it is a fun place. In actual fact, it's going to be a partnership between the wise which is a relocation company, and Chapman CG, which is that executive search company for, for HR professionals only. And it's going to be held at the Harley Davidson show. Wow, that's a classic brand. I mean, amazing. I mean, and I even added I did some research, you know, who rides Harley's? Why do they ride Harley's What is it, and it's really, they are truly nomadic, the ones that go out there. And I was very interested to see some of the qualities and understanding about the freedom and the carefree ness, the community, the ability to just travel and also but most of all, just, you know, the freedom of which is the end the independence, which I think is extremely important. And I think, for all of us as speakers, this is one thing that we may sometimes forget about is this Nomad ism, which is within us, and that we need to constantly bring that forth for our creativity. And I know that you do that an awful lot through all of the work you do. And you've got your tentacles in so many different places. And, and I love that about you because there's like there's no borders with you. And I think that that's it's such a refreshing space to be in. And that's where we speak is without borders, maybe that needs to be a new nonprofit that we started to go. So take us way back. Wait, where did I think I mentioned that you're from Canada, originally. And you started out in the world of figure skating? So how does a figure skater become a professional speaker Tell us about that journey? Well, I mean, I was involved in Figure Skating at a very high level. And I used to choreograph basically with them, and I would coach them along the way to become better performers. Right. And that was really the important thing. And it was also about extracting, you know, like fighter does extract to their inner theme is that I was trying to extract this creativity within figure skaters to make them the best look that they could be at that time. And I think that, so going into speaking was a more of a natural transition, because I went from speaking to filmmaker as a, as a filmmaker, a short dance filmmaker, I was also a dancer. So there was all a variety of different aspects of entertainment. And, but it was all nonverbal, most of my life. So now it was like, Oh, my God, I got to use my voice. And I got to speak in a different way instead of just my physicality, which I think is a very, very different piece. So that's how I sort of transitioned and I, I knew that there was more to life than simply figure skating and I left figure skating and around 2003 however, I did my last show for holiday a nice in 2008, eight. So I think of of a skating rink, you know, that's a big canvas to be working on. You know, you love space, in terms of in terms of speakers, you know, we speak in different sizes of rooms, sometimes it's really small and intimate. The time is a huge arena, that's an arena the other day in Istanbul, and you have to use your your physical energy has to change in the room the way you project. And so what was what were some of the things that you learned from that kind of nonverbal side of being able to communicate on a, in a pretty big space, when you're talking about often thousands of people. I mean, first of all, you have to recognize that if you're in a big space, like a stadium, that generally it is it circling around, just like in the old historical days of the Coliseum, everything is in the circle in the round. And when you are in the circle in the round, there is obviously a different audience all the time. And so you need to be able to pinpoint where certain people are, where the judges are, where the TV cameras are, you need to have this real focus. So you're actually looking at a pretty low level a lot of the time, and instead of actually looking up and, and when you do end up looking up a lot of the time and expanding outwards, it becomes a real challenge for a lot of the skaters. And so it's about, it's about really understanding space. And I think that's one of the things that is very difficult for speakers is they don't understand space, they don't know how to fill the body, the body fills the space. And how do I do that on a proscenium stage, which is most of the time, what speakers are on. And I think that that is you narrowing your focus, instead of expanding and narrowing expanding and expanding and narrowing. And I think that that is one of the things that I also learned from nomadic cultures, is this whole concept of being very expensive, but being able to narrow in and make decisions. And I think that this is also relates back to your space that you're in, because no man is live a lot of the time in these very wide expansive places. So that, again, is something for us as speakers to relate to as to how to how to minimize and also to maximize, in very, very fast way. And I think that that's what also entertainers are having to do on an ongoing basis is, you know, the play stadiums. And, and I, we've talked a lot, and you've talked a lot about presence in the past, and there's a difference between an entertainer and a performer. Right. And I think that this is extremely important is that there are certain entertainers, like I would say that, for example, Tina Turner is a performer. And, and Madonna is an entertainer. And a lot of the entertainers, they need a lot of backup, they need a lot of other stuff around them to make the whole thing and entertainment. Whereas for if you ever experienced Tina Turner, is her presence is so powerful if you can sitting in a 60,000 seat to perform a stadium, and she can come on stage and you're like blown away, and but you may be sitting in the back. And that's that powerful energy. And that, as you have talked about also comes from that authenticity. Yeah, if I came from that real inner self, and as you talk about, I'm reminded of a concert I saw many years ago with with Tony Bennett, in the Royal Albert Hall in London, and came out on stage, you know, right before I came on was probably five and a half thousand 6000 people there. You know, and it's, you know, the come over the beginning, there's an energy, but then one point. So that's the kind of expanding part. And then some point in the set. It all went like this. And it was just him and the mic and the piano player. And it felt like you in a really small little jazz club. And it was just you and him. And he was he was speaking to you, I thought was an incredible skill as a performer to be able to create a connection and communicate in that type of way. So you can be big when you need to be. But then you can also bring people in and you can contract in that way. I love I love. I love the idea of that idea about the entertainer performer. Because I've seen I've seen Tony Bennett's Raiders technical writer and it's not very complex. bottles of water I think some towels and the pianos I think it's actually very simple. So I think he's in that probably that performer camp, you're talking here? Because I think you know, like today, I mean, a lot of the time, you know, we're all asked to be okay, let's if you gotta entertain. And you know, I feel sometimes when I say that, when I hear that it's like, Okay, I'm a stand up comedian or something like that, or I'm a monkey or, you know, you're asking the entertainer, I would prefer to move towards the idea of a performer. And I think that that I think we as speakers. That's a hard transition. And I'm not really sure how it happens, because it really comes from the inside. Yeah. And I think that that is really one of the most challenging things. So for example, I mean, when you see people like Dame Maggie Smith, or you see the great, you know, some of the old great stars, you know, and you just think how do they do that? And the people that can play a game what we're talking about here, people that can can move from theater to camera, so it's like why to very narrow right is how do you do that? It's a very different skill. Absolutely. say they're able to do this based so you talk about this idea of nomadic mindset. So first of all, let's Where did this idea of of being interested in nomads and nomadic lifestyle nomadic mindset, where did this originate from? Tell us that that that inception of the journey is great. I love telling this part because you know, Frederick Heron very well. And, you know, so I think a lot of it is about signposts. And so what I share with you is this is about signposts. And it's about looking at signposts and finding when they come into your life or appear in your life. And you think, you know, maybe that's useful at some point, and maybe it's not. However, what's happened was, and I guess, 2017, I realized when I went home to Canada at one point, and winter, it was go back to Adam, November 28. And I know December 28. And it was cold this one year. And I thought, I live in Singapore part time and I thought, why am I coming back here at this time of year? There was no reason before there was a reason because of my mother. But she passed away for two years, but I can continue to do the same old same old bread. Anyway, I decided I'm a global nomads, so I don't need to do this anymore. And that's when I started to think about this is a brand. So then I had I got a mentorship with with Frederick. And when I go back to Singapore, Frederick said to me, and I had my first session with Frederick case, which was do the inner theme, right is to extract that anything from it. And he got curious, what is a global Nomad? And so he asked me a lot of questions. You know, what is it? How does it feel? What would you do if you're a global Nomad, etc. And then he would do his entomology and, you know, to look at many ways about what is the word? What is no man? What does it mean? And through the conversation, and he said, Well, you know, you need to write a book if you're going to be credible. And you need to if you're going to be a great speaker, a successful speaker that you need to have a platform. So is it what's the platform? It's around the Nomad. Isn't it? Nice. And yeah, it is. It's called the nomadic mindset. And he went, Wow, that's a great idea. I said, I've never heard of that. I've never really thought about it. I've never heard anybody speak. And he said, that's your platform. That's your theme. So I thought, Okay, so what's that theme? And so then he said, Okay, now you need to research to write the book. Oh. And he said, Yeah, you need to talk to at least 100 executives and different sized companies. And then you need to spend time with at least three nomadic cultures around the world. And I went, oh. So now this has become a real problem in my mind into my heart, like, Oh, no, what about how I gonna do this? And so anyway, I said, Can I just do the Nomad stuff by just anthropologically going to the, you know, the online and just checking out? He said, No, no. You have to go and live with them, you have to go and eat with them, you have to go in and listen to them, you have to go and observe them, you have to spend time with them on their daily, you just have to be that why because this is the experience. And these are stories that will enrich not only the findings that you have when you combine executive, and also the qualities of nominates, but now you will have a body of work. So that's how it came about. So I set off the journey went off and practice one for what he does that a number of speakers he's done in a theme, helping them pretty car and finding those themes. And the reason I've heard him talk a number of the speakers as well about why you should go and do what you've just done, which is going to interview all those people go and live that way really go you know, go deep, go deep. And and he said, if you don't do that the danger is you become which is like talking about music, you become like a cover band. Yeah, you're covering other people's songs, your UK, many other people stories, instead of being an original last second, David Barry, or, you know, someone else telling these stories. I'm you know, I sat there one night with this tribe in Mongolia. And I asked him What does being romantic mean to you? And and then you tell that story or working with that co what is what does that mean to you? These are your stories. Now other people are going to now come and use your stories, and they're going to repeat your stories. Originally, I think I think that's when you know, you've you've kind of arrived when you hear third party, your story is getting repeated. You know, okay, that's why it says like, you know, they're doing your cover story, right? So, I give the nomadic mindset. And, you know, you what, how does that relate to speakers, though? this audience? You know, speakers up here that we have to do we travel, obviously, as speakers. But is there a deeper sense of this, this link between magic and being a professional speaker? Well, first of all, I think that we have to look at what does nomadic mean. And I think that most people think that nomadic means to move from place to place to find new pastures. That's a physical geographical movement. So here comes the stories, right, so I'm sitting in Mongolia lounge, and there's a woman who Frederick is also there with me. And he says, You need to ask her a couple of questions. And so I asked her, What is the meaning of Nomad, and she is the head of the branding Council of Mongolia. And she said, Well, as I said, most people think of it as moving from place to place to find new pastures. And she said, no, no. She paused. And she looked, she said, No, it means the movement of the mind, the movement of the mind, the movement of the mind. And so if this is the movement of the mind, then what it how does that? How What's that got to do with speakers, speakers, as speakers, we have to keep our mind moving. We have to keep our ideas moving, we cannot stick with one story and just beat it to death. And change just a few words. And whichever we need to find new stories, as we've all talked about, but that's being nomadic. And that's been moving the mind around moving, how can I contextualize this in a different way? How can I see it from the audience's point of view in a very different way? Who am I truly talking to? And how can I be one with them. And it's about if you are a nomadic, in this feeling you are about community, community is very strong for nomads, and it's about getting yourself into the community. And it's also about embracing the circle. So like you said, about this circle here, on the painting, it's nomads, as you know, will sit in circles, that is called in certain parts of the world, that's called a modulus. And they sit in a circle on the ground, there's nothing in between you, there's no tables, there's nothing. And this goes back historically, because that's the power of the circle, the energy that goes around it. And that as a speaker, we need to see even if we're on the proscenium is that we need to see this as a complete circle in front of us. So when we're part of that embrace of the circle, it's like people putting the arms around you, that's what everybody's doing, and you're in it. So this is part of the nomadic thinking, as we come back to, as you said, about skating is about that circle in the room. It's an embrace of the circle. So that's a piece that I think that we can relate to, as it's what we need for speakers for actual performance. And, but it's there's no madness, of being able to be flexible, the freedom to speak on different platforms to be freedom to speak in different with different people in subjects. And also, it is this adaptability and flexibility to be able to move. For example, within a speech, you know how sometimes we get lost. And we have to go, that's a signpost for us to go there. It's not like, but it's a signpost is it? Ah, let's go around that and see what we can discover. And I actually sometimes I even make a point. If I feel I'm getting a little bit too complacent in speeches, I will actually put send myself down dark alleys on purpose. In order to just raised heart rate a little bit closer, I'm getting out of this, I have no idea. Because it feels it feels it feels more live, then the audience It feels like for them, it's always going to feel Wow, this, you know, we didn't we didn't expect that. I didn't expect that as a speaker. So you're creating that, that sense of community, I guess, as well. And there's a there's an interplay there. So when we think about nomads, the thing I think about a lot of nomads is obviously a sense of freedom, freedom of the mind, you talk about this idea of agility, and I think it's especially interesting just now, where you having a lot of millennials, who are deciding not to buy traditional houses, and they buy things like tiny houses, living, you know, living in a different way. I think this we're starting to see this as a trend that's going on. But there is that thing, whether you know, I know from my family background into more than that Gypsy side of things, Roman ships he's in you have the boat caravans of Gypsy, so there's something that travels around, or whether you have you Mongolia, imagine it'd be the 10th, or the Middle East, you're gonna have to tense. So we do need a certain amount of things, which provide a holiness, a sense that will no matter where we're traveling, there has that when it comes to speakers of using anything in terms of speakers that what is that tent that they're carrying around for either physically or mentally those things which allow them to have some sense of comfort, and familiarity, even though everything else is very, very different. I think that you know, I don't know about yourself, but I often will take things that are familiar with me in my kit, or bag and like you have done, and so that I know, those are familiar pieces for me. But I also like to think I like to be able to explore and to take things which are not. So I love to be able to explore a hotel room, or a hotel and complete and define what, what is what is new, what is something that I can maybe put into my speech, if I'm in this hotel, what can I then think about as a new piece. Because you know what's important, and with any entertainer or any performer is that you have to find something new in every performance so that it doesn't become stagnant. So it's about working on something new, it's about maybe a new story, it's maybe a new twist a new word, or whichever, but it's about finding something new. So that feels fresh all the time. So I think that there's things that you carry with you. And you don't want a lot. So yes, the nomads carry things with them. Big, but they don't carry a lot simply because they know they have to move. They don't want a lot of possessions, they only want things that are useful and used. They don't want to things instead of pretty things or whichever, you know, they don't necessarily have that or if there is something which is a spiritual placing, for example, they are in most of the yurts, they because they're Buddhist in Mongolia, they will have a section which is like their spiritual prayers and their their trinkets and there are everything that goes along with that. What they do, they're able to pack up in 20 minutes, tear everything down in 20 minutes and build in 20 minutes. So there's a lightness that come there's a light. And with that lightness, if we carry too many things with us, like a you know, like the our equipment and things like that that's carrying heavy stuff. It's carrying things, we need to be light as speakers like to be ready physically, mentally and spiritually, to be on stage as a complete lightness. If that is doing yoga is doing vocal, it's doing exercises eating like it what is what is it, it's about keeping that body like, for example, when I was a dancer, is that I had a hard time digesting meat. Now, I don't know how this has got to do with speaking but it's about the lightness that you want to have when you're performing is it there's no point in having a heavy meal before you go on. If I knew that I had a hard time digesting meat. And so I became a vegetarian. And through that I was able to then digest very quickly. And I believe that in fact, you want to as a body, you want to starve it a bit before you get on stage. Drink water, but starve your body. And I say starve it because you are then opening up to lightness and you're opening up to more freedom. And you're opening up to possibilities. And that's very nomadic. Yes. Think, I think, what do you do? Yeah, I'm exactly the same, I don't eat before, before I speak. I usually am drinking quite a lot of water in advance of it. Because I know it also not so much in terms of inside the man's bed in terms of the body and the body. I know it takes about two hours for that water to be fully you go into the cells and everything. So I'm drinking quite a lot of water. The only thing I'll occasionally have before I go on stage is maybe a banana or something very, very late. But when I come offstage, you know, yeah, you because I think you're you've been using all the energy on stage. And you might not have eaten, and you come offstage. And I think there is. And so actually, I've seen a number of conference organizers recently that really understood speakers. And I did one recently, where as soon as we came offstage, it was actually in, in Bogota, Colombia, coming off stage, and they actually had some massage therapists there as well. And that I mean, because you obviously you're using your body, I find most people will hold tension somewhere in their body. Anyone speaking. So that could be in your hands, it could be your neck in the back and neck, legs, wherever it is. That is great. I love absolutely love that to be able to have something like that. And then I've seen another friend of mine was speaker. He worked with a client recently. And they said, they asked him in advance, but we can advance. What do you love? What's your kind of food you really love? And we're going to make sure that when you come off stage after you've done meeting people, we're going to have that there for nothing. That's awesome. That's really nice. That's that's going from service to hospitality. This is it, which is I know is a big thing in a lot of nomadic cultures, this idea of hospitality, as well. So what can we be doing as speakers to be taking some of that idea of hospitality being welcoming and and how we work that with our clients and our audiences? is a great question. And I think that it's really leads very strongly into the the understanding of what the manga what the Berbers do in Morocco, is that you've all heard of mint tea, right? And the tea Sam and Moroccan tea seminar where they do this dance up and down to pour it into this little shot glass. But do people don't know that there's a real history behind that and the meaning. And it really is, you have to have three cups of tea. And the whole idea of three cups of tea there's a sir horror and proverb which says the first cup is as bitter as death. The second is as mild as life. And the third is as light as loud as a beautiful proverb. And that can be anything in our lives. However, the first cup of tea is very important. And you start the conversations and you start to and it's all about extracting information, sharing information. And then you go through the second cup of tea, and then you go through the third cup of tea, but you want to prolong the tea as much as possible, because you're gaining for them. It's about gaining safety for the road is gaining, who are your alliances? Who are what is the information that you're gathering and sharing? And why are you here, and you do it completely in the round without tables so that you are there is nothing between you. And I think that the important thing about this is that it's understandable when you move around from different in the in the Sahara to different homes, and to different places, which you might be a tent, or it might be concrete, one room, whatever it might be, is that their tradition is they must welcome you. And they don't know who you are, but they must welcome you. And this whole thing of the three cups of tea is an extremely important and never is the same as British right is having their tea ceremony. It's about the social aspect of habit, we are too much into the speed of transactional information, get that tea over with coffee over that drink over, you know, get on with the next part of business. No, this is about getting this is about developing relationships. This is all about relationship. And there is there is different in terms of the cultures as well. And going on there I met the first when I first moved to America, to the US. And obviously things are much more transactional there is Get to the point. And and I know that they say in Asia, that that it's not like that as much. But I think that's not true. I think there's parts of Asia, which are very quite transactional. And other parts which are a little bit little bit slower, as well. And for me, that was always a case of like just trying to figure out which Who am I am I interacting with here? Am I interacting with a very North American more transactional style of culture, clash in the UK is quite a lot like that now as well. Yeah, my working with him, for example, in Middle East or Japan will have long periods of just conversation warming, things up seeing building that trust before you even get into and I think we can fall foul of sometimes of not recognizing it. If you're a nomad, moving into a new place and you field with a new culture you haven't interact with not recognizing that difference and trying to figure out, you know, where do we where do we go with this? Yeah, I think that, you know, your original question was really how do we deal with that with the, you know, clients or even I, you can actually look at it as an audience. And so when you're performing in actual fact is, what are the three cups of tea that I'm having with my audience? And how am I not necessarily gaming or gathering information, but you are in a very sort of energetic way you're gathering information as you feel the room? Because you're that you have these pulsations. Right. And I think that from not only that, but how you are sharing the information, how is it that you're giving it to them, and I think that it's and that's what's going to hold the for the 45 minutes or the tour 30 minutes or 20 minutes, whatever you're doing is remembering these common little nomadic traits is about we are sharing, we are gathering information we are serving, and we are there as one, not just as many people but as one. And how to translate the topic that you're now known for this nomadic mindset into what we call a fundable speech or a fundable keynote, where a corporate client will say, actually, this is right, have you have you had to tweak the messaging and and think about how they relate to that CEO who has a billion dollar company and has all these stresses and the shareholders are giving them hassle and MMOs new product launch? How do you relate the nomadic mindset to that type of audience? Yeah, I mean, I, you know, I not sure that I've hit it just yet. However, I suspect that because this is relatively new in the last year. So I'm playing around tweaking with it, I have so much content, and so many different directions that I can go with a nomadic mindset, that it's about, you know, being simple like nomads, instead of putting way too much into it. And I would say that, you know, I'm playing still with what works and what doesn't work. I'm mixing a variety of story and metaphor of the nomadic journeys, and with also with what is in the real world, and what needs to be done. So there's a very practical piece in one of my speeches, because in the book, I actually don't just talk about the nomadic mindset. But I talked about three mindsets that live within all of us, and one is nomadic one is builder, and when a settler. And I think that these are extremely important for executives to understand that in one way, we have all those winners, we have a dominance of one more than another, remembering that we have a variety of different individuals within our company, but they have different mindsets. And they have, and they may have the same men similar skills, but the mindset is what puts it into action, those skills. And so you need to have people in the right places at the right time for the right evolution of your organization. And then you can also look at mindset, these mindsets from a trend of evolutionary, of an organization where they in a mind nomadic women, they build their women, the settler, and they become dinosaur, because they did not transition back to becoming nomadic in their thinking pattern, and their strategies and visions. So I'm playing around with a lot of the different story. And so for example, tomorrow on Thursday, I'm starting to use start off with the desert. And, and I think that what is also very important here is is that I talked about the desert, and then I saw I transition from there into isn't a beautiful place that I taught really, it can be people can see it from different forms. And this is about mindset. And then I talked about this fellow, say exactly, and I say exactly says that nomads see everything is an opportunity. So consequently, then I say okay, everything is an opportunity, even the desert is an opportunity to them. And then I move it back to well, you know, it was an opportunity for you to come today but accept the invitation come to Harley, the Harley and try out a Harley. But also to learn something new. This is a this is about finding that nomadic ness in what is an opportunity. So I twist, I'm trying to twist things around. And I think I think the topic you speak on as well. There also is a lot of I can see a lot of correlations there around where we're going in terms of few your work with agility. simplicity, you mentioned there as well, the use of tools. And we're having a whole bunch of different types of tools. Now artificial intelligence, all these kind of different tools are still fundamentally there, their tools to allow us to do different things, obviously, we're seeing a huge rise in the gig economy. teams. So all these things as you talk about some of these things in in this nomadic mindset, I actually there's a lot of, there's a lot of interesting commonalities of what's going on just now in the in the broader world, what we can, we can apply. So you've got the book coming out. It's already out actually great. It's, it's online, it says, and it's out in the bookstores in Singapore now, which is great. And tomorrow will be the live launch, I just want to talk a little bit, just go back to what you were just saying about the Giga home and the change in the data, you know, digital transformation, etc. In this particular form. And we talked about digital nomads today. And I think that there's a very important factor that one of the people that I interviewed it is Carolyn Hendricks from sabbatical in, in Estonia. And she says, you know, we have to get rid of the old agreements that are created politically, and also, institutionally within organizations, there's a lot of old agreements of how we see things, how we do things, how we say, No, this is in this channel, this is in this box, this is in this box. And that is what today is about. Because we're moving fast. And we're using the digital, we're moving out of those old agreements. And we need to think that as speakers as well as we need to move out of the old agreements we have made with ourselves, and also how we see speaking, is it's I think that we need to start looking at it from a much more broader perspective. And because you know, how we get channeled into, this is the way things are. And, you know, when we look at the younger speakers of today, they didn't have those borders, and we need to get rid of the borders. And I don't end the mental borders as well as the physical borders, which of course everybody hates, but then you know, you as a gypsy coming back from that. Gypsies hate borders, everybody, you know, so if there is none. So I think that you know, what you're talking about there as extremely valuable as today is this nomadic mindset, we need to we can look at it from a perspective of what's happening in the gig economy, digital economy, everything, as you're talking about. And but the other thing that I think that we need to think about James and and that is, I think those are long for speakers, but also, what I've been talking with digital transformation is and that is that is this concept of interconnectivity is that we talk an awful lot about Ave any connection, we need connection, yeah, we need connection with the people in whichever. But this is, this is only of small piece, when you see and spend time with nomads, and if you think back actually in your in, in your inner cellular DNA of your Gypsy knows is that there's an interconnectedness with not only yourself, but others animals and universe, spirit, you name, it is all interconnected. And when you watch nomads in the world, in their own land, it's just complete walking of interconnectivity, they know everything that's going on, they can tap into it. Now, as I talked to people in the engineers, and whichever and digital transformation is that they're not interconnected enough, it's still siloed. And this is going to be a danger. And this is a danger. I believe, for all of us. When we move into these. It's like, I see an app. Okay, but why isn't that app completely? Why is it just this app? And why is it not interconnected with another, another and another of another? And so we need to have these interconnections? I think that's where we need to go is thinking that way. And I think that's that's maybe a wandering around that that optimism, Holly Davison's perfect example. Where in terms of the values, values I would imagine of Harley Davidson is around freedom. That is gonna be around freedom. But at the same time, they have very strong community. And they I mean, they have their badges and, and even the partners of the Harley Davidson riders, they have their own language festivals. So I think that the idea of freedom, it doesn't have to be an ego individualistic thing. And I think that's really one of the things you have the nomadic side and how the game is, and actually, you can get an increasing level of freedom when you are actually part of a community. So is it isn't is, what was that expression as the phrase that, you know, the ability to hold two contrasting ideas in the mind the same time. And I think a lot of time we're talking about freedom is to have as an individualistic type of thing any of the can be that's that's one way of looking at it. But I think in a lot of those kind of communities is the balancing those two different things. Yeah. And I think that's what comes into today the skill of what's called cognitive flexibility. And I think that that's extremely important there. I could go on about a test study that was done with the him bu in Namibia, and also Westerners. And which was very interesting to study and to study kind of goes like this, that they were given equally the same questions. And what came out first of all, was the Himba were much more cognitively flexible than the Westerner. And so then they went back and they said, okay, but, you know, the the Westerners, you're able to take sidesteps, you're allowed to look around your life to expand your thinking pattern here. So only when they were told that they were allowed to do that, then they came up, pretty much equal. So what is that saying? You know, it saying a lot about our educational system is the way we think that we're thinking, Okay, linear. Know, this is the wrong way, as far as I'm concerned, that is that circle is we need to think circular. Absolutely. So the book is now where's the best place people to go to learn more about the book? And also that you you're speaking to what you're doing just now? Yeah, I mean, the best place is at my website, which is www dot the nomadic mindset.com. And then as close as you know, there's the hash tag, the nomadic mindset. And then it most of the stuff is there online and on the website at this point in time, and it's growing as we go along. And I think that, you know, just following me on LinkedIn, and or Facebook, I have a fake nomadic mindset, facebook, facebook page, as well. And I think that, you know, just following in that particular, and I'm really open to chat chatting with people in as much as possible about this, because I have to say that I believe this is a movement. And this is the movement that I want to share. Because I think that is I think the world and we have speakers and a lot of people have become very narrow in our thinking, even though think we think we're very expansive. But I think we need to be able to much more expensive. And so we need to have that flow back and forth. And so that's why I want to create this as a movement of expansion. Well, it's been a joy seeing obviously, your speakers you member as well as the joy seeing how your career starting to flourish with the book.

#GavinIngham is a sales veteran, a #TEDxSpeaker and #founder of #IAm10. He specialises in helping companies build powerful sales teams on a foundation of #MentalToughness. We discuss questions like: What is mental toughness? Can it be developed? How? What separates the winners from the losers in sales? Why do bad habits persist in sales and sales management? What impact can managers have on the performance of a sales team? Why do gaps in management capability exist? How important is management culture in creating the conditions for mental toughness? What do bad leaders do to hamstring good salespeople? What is motivation? Can a manager really motivate a salesperson? Gavin and I have a frank conversation about the highs and lows in sales, the roots of self-sabotage, the power of cultural pressure to conform instead of challenge the status quo. As usual, no punches are pulled. Practical advice based on over 60 years of scar tissue, this interview is a must for #BusinessOwners, #CEO's, #VPSales, #SalesDirectors who want to build #HighPerformance #SalesTeams. Listen if you're frustrated because: Your sales team suffers from #FeastAndFamine #performance Your managers rescue (help without boundaries or permission) Your sales team suffers from #HighTurnover You struggle to retain #APlayers and #TopTalent You keep hiring b- and c-players You're failing to develop #YoungTalent who show aptitude You've ever hired a #HeavyHitter who promised the earth and failed to deliver Your own #SalesCareer isn't moving as fast or as far as your #ambition demands Mental toughness is a prerequisite in a role where rejection is the order of the day. Mental toughness enables winners to bounce back, to keep going when hard times hit, when rejection is the order of the day and when all around you are crumbling under the pressure of professional sales.

Leveling up to be the Real Estate Agent you want to be is not an easy road. The Real Estate business is not an easy road despite what Bravo Network and reality shows show us weekly. Setting and hitting those lofty but reachable sales and life goals is a real possibility, but we all need help, training, inspiration, and accountability to get to where we want to be. Plus, being willing to embrace new technology, establishing new systems, learning new sales approaches, and recommitting to basic sales fundamentals is a big step into becoming an elite Real Estate player. In this first episode of the IMPACT Agent Podcast (formerly the Agent 251 Podcast), Jason Will speaks with Trey Willard. Trey is a team leader of The W Group of Berkshire Hathaway United Properties in Baton Rouge, La. He has seen a lot on the real estate business from personal assistant to a buyer's agent to a lead agent or a solo agent to a team leader and now a team leader and a real estate coach with Tom Ferry. Trey’s shares his insights into “leveling up” in the real estate game. Plus, learn how Trey and his wife Whitney manage to work and live together growing an ever demanding business and family life. The Big Questions: What’s it like and how do you navigate work/life balance when working so closely with a spouse? What are the advantages of building a real estate team? What are the big things Agents can do to level up from hobbyist to professional level sales and production? Why should an Agent invest in coaching and additional professional training? What is the difference between relational versus transactional marketing? Sponsor: Impact Agent Conference 2019Started by Real Estate Agents for Real Estate Agents. New Orleans, LA - April 11 - 12, 2019 BUY TICKETS HERE Trey’s Key Insights and IMPACT moments: Trey loves working with his wife but realizes that the high-pressure nature of Real Estate can cause unique challenges In an on-demand world and economy Real Agents have to responsive and quick to reply and satisfy their leads, contacts, and teammates. To know the profitability of your company you need to know the basic net numbers, cost of leads, cost of overhead, and real profit margins. Real Estate is a rough and tough business, but it’s worth the fight and the struggle. The book Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great resource to get you to understand real assets versus liabilities and how to start seeing the big picture Know the “blocking & tackling” fundamentals of Real Estate and sales: Communication, follow-up, consistency, and leveraging your sphere of influence. Don’t be a hobbyist, be a professional that always provides value to clients, teams, family, and community. To be an elite professional, you need to invest in an elite coach. Always be servicing leads not just getting leads. Trey has seen so much in this industry from his experience that he felt he had a ton of value to share and help other agents, coaching just made sense. Real Estate is a skills-based market. Improve your skills, improve your opportunity for success. “Leveling Up” comes from an internal push and genuine interest to be more than you are today. Quotables and Tweetables: I don't know the last time that Whitney, with the exception of the holidays of course that just passed, where Whitney and I had an entire Saturday and a Sunday where we were both off, we could spend time with our kids, we could make plans to do things, and that was the things I didn't think about prior to bringing her on board as a team member. - Trey Willard My Wife and I are really making an effort to do is at certain time of the night like no talk about real estate or work. Just shut it off. Let's just be with each other and be in the moment, be with our children. - Trey Willard Everyone wants instant gratification, whether it's via text, whether it's a call, whatever it may be. We live in the on-demand economy. We have kind of gotten spoiled by that and we expect that in every aspect of our life, including real estate. - Trey Willard When we work in a 100% commission business where there's no guarantees…for someone who has a little higher anxiety, it's just a little harder for them to just stay in a upbeat, positive mindset all the time. - Trey Willard I love to have those really raw and real conversations with people is like true net, like, "What are you netting? Are you at a 30% profit margin? Are you at a 50% profit margin? Are you running a 10% profit margin or a 5% profit margin business?" And depending on how many sales take place every month and depending on what the expenses are, depends on how profitable you are as a company. - Trey Willard I went back to reading Rich Dad Poor Dad. Reading that book has really been a huge eye-opener for me as far as getting back to real assets versus liabilities and really thinking in big picture, having your money work for you, and like you said, we're doing this for a bigger picture. - Trey Willard We've gotten back to what Bill Pipes likes to call the blocking and tackling, the fundamentals of real estate, what to say, how to say it, following up, everybody knows the fortunes and the followup, and I've gotten my guys to really buy into that. - Trey Willard I think the biggest thing is, number one, setting the expectations. I am here, I am a professional, I want to provide value to you. - Trey Willard So whether it's sports tickets, whether it's anything someone would need and I can provide that for them and I do it not because I'm looking for something in return. - Trey Willard It's the law of reciprocity. As soon as you do something for somebody, that seed is planted. They want to repay it. - Jason Will Tom Ferry says it best: What got you here won't get you there. - Trey Willard I felt like I just had so much value to give and help other people. That's why I pursued coaching. - Trey Willard Everybody should want to double their business. My question to her, the followup question was: How? What are you going to do differently in 2019? - Jason Will Every elite athlete on the planet, every elite I would imagine businessperson on the planet, people that you think that couldn't move any further in their life has a coach. - Trey Willard In order to continue to gain momentum, you've got to constantly work at it, you've got to be better, and inevitably you have to have someone to hold you accountable. - Trey Willard There are so many things that a coach can do that you can't do on your own. - Trey Willard Someone has to give you some direction on how you're going to change your lifestyle. - Trey Willard There is entirely too many hobbyists, and I think you're going to start to see a shift in the real estate business, not just in the market as a shift but in the real estate business. We're seeing more teams dominate. We're seeing teams and even certain individuals take in more market share than ever. - Trey Willard It is a skills-based market. The better the skills, the more success the agent will have. I believe that 110%. - Trey Willard ////////////////////////////////// We would like to know what you think about the Agent 251 podcast, especially this episode. Do you agree with Jason?

Panel: Charles Max Wood Aimee Knight Chris Ferdinandi AJ O’Neal Special Guest: Andy Bell In this episode, the panel talks with Andy Bell who is an independent designer and developer who uses React, Vue, and Node. Today, the panelists and the guest talk about the power of progressive enhancements. Check it out! Show Topics: 0:00 – Advertisement: KENDO UI 0:34 – Chuck: Hi! Our panel is AJ, Aimee, Chris, myself and my new show is coming out in a few weeks, which is called the DevRev! It helps you with developer’s freedom! I am super excited. Our guest is Andy Bell. Introduce yourself, please. 2:00 – Guest: I am an independent designer and developer out in the U.K. 2:17 – Chuck: You wrote things about Vanilla.js. I am foreshadowing a few things and let’s talk about the power and progressive enhancement. 2:43 – The guest gives us definitions of power and progressive enhancements. He describes how it works. 3:10 – Chuck: I’ve heard that people would turn off JavaScript b/c it was security concern and then your progressive enhancement would make it work w/o JavaScript. I am sure there’s more than that? 3:28 – The guest talks about JavaScript, dependencies, among other things. 4:40 – Chuck: Your post did make that very clear I think. I am thinking I don’t even know where to start with this. Are people using the 6th version? How far back or what are we talking about here? 5:09 – Guest: You can go really far back and make it work w/o CSS. 5:49 – Chris: I am a big advocate of progressive enhancement – the pushback I get these days is that there is a divide; between the broadband era and AOL dialup. Are there compelling reasons why progressive enhancements even matter? 6:48 – Guest. 8:05 – Panel: My family lives out in the boonies. I am aware of 50% of American don’t have fast Internet. People don’t have access to fast browsers but I don’t think they are key metric users. 8:47 – Guest: It totally depends on what you need it for. It doesn’t matter if these people are paying or not. 9:31 – Chris: Assuming I have a commute on the trail and it goes through a spotty section. In a scenario that it’s dependent on the JS...are we talking about 2 different things here? 10:14 – Panelist chimes-in. 10:36 – Chris: I can take advantage of it even if I cannot afford a new machine. 10:55 – Panel: Where would this really matter to you? 11:05 – Chris: I do have a nice new laptop. 11:12 – Chuck: I had to hike up to the hill (near the house) to make a call and the connection was really poor (in OK). It’s not the norm but it can happen. 11:37 – Chris: Or how about the All Trails app when I am on the trail. 11:52 – Guest. 12:40 – Chris: I can remember at the time that the desktop sites it was popular to have... Chris: Most of those sites were inaccessible to me. 13:17 – Guest. 13:51 – Chuck: First-world countries will have a good connection and it’s not a big deal. If you are thinking though about your customers and where they live? Is that fair? I am thinking that my customers need to be able to access the podcast – what would you suggest? What are the things that you’d make sure is accessible to them. 14:31 – Guest: I like to pick on the minimum viable experience? I think to read the transcript is important than the audio (MP3). 15:47 – Chuck. 15:52 – Guest: It’s a lot easier with Vue b/c you don’t’ have to set aside rendering. 17:13 – AJ: I am thinking: that there is a way to start developing progressively and probably cheaper and easier to the person who is developing. If it saves us a buck and helps then we take action. 17:49 – Guest: It’s much easier if you start that way and if you enhance the feature itself. 18:38 – AJ: Let me ask: what are the situations where I wouldn’t / shouldn’t worry about progressive enhancements? 18:57 – Guest answers the question. 19:42 – AJ: I want people to feel motivated in a place WHERE to start. Something like a blog needs Java for comments. Hamburger menu is mentioned, too. 20:20 – Guest. 21:05 – Chris: Can we talk about code? 21:16 – Aimee: This is the direction I wanted to go. What do you mean by that – building your applications progressively? Aimee refers to his blog. 21:44 – Guest. 22:13 – Chuck: I use stock overflow! 22:20 – Guest. 22:24 – Chuck: I mean that’s what Chris uses! 22:33 – Guest (continues). 23:42 – Aimee. 23:54 – Chris. 24:09 – Chris 24:16 – Chris: Andy what do you think about that? 24:22 – Guest: Yes, that’s good. 24:35 – Chris: Where it falls apart is the resistance to progressive enhancements that it means that your approach has to be boring? 25:03 – Guest answers the question. The guest mentions modern CSS and modern JavaScript are mentioned along with tooling. 25:50 – Chuck: My issue is that when we talk about this (progressive enhancement) lowest common denominator and some user at some level (slow network) and then they can access it. Then the next level (better access) can access it. I start at the bottom and then go up. Then when they say progressive enhancement I get lost. Should I scrap it and then start over or what? 26:57 – Guest: If it’s feasible do it and then set a timeline up. 27:42 – Chuck: You are saying yes do it a layer at a time – but my question is HOW? What parts can I pair back? Are there guidelines to say: do this first and then how to test? 28:18 – Advertisement – Sentry.io 29:20 – Guest: Think about the user flow. What does the user want to do at THIS point? Do you need to work out the actual dependencies? 30:31 – Chuck: Is there a list of those capabilities somewhere? So these users can use it this way and these users can use it that way? 30:50 – Guest answers the question. 31:03 – Guest: You can pick out the big things. 31:30 – Chuck: I am using this feature in the browser... 31:41 – Guest. 31:46 – Chris: I think this differently than you Andy – I’ve stopped caring if a browser supports something new. I am fine using CSS grid and if your browser doesn’t support it then I don’t have a problem with that. I get hung up on, though if this fails can they still get the content? If they have no access to these – what should they be able to do? Note: “Cutting the Mustard Test” is mentioned. 33:37 – Guest. 33:44 – Chuck: Knowing your users and if it becomes a problem then I will figure it out. 34:00 – Chris: I couldn’t spare the time to make it happen right now b/c I am a one-man shop. 34:20 – Chuck and Chris go back-and-forth. 34:36 –Chris: Check out links below for my product. 34:54 – AJ: A lot of these things are in the name: progressive. 36:20 – Guest. 38:51 – Chris: Say that they haven’t looked at it all before. Do you mind talking about these things and what the heck is a web component? 39:14 – The guest gives us his definition of what a web component is. 40:02 – Chuck: Most recent episode in Angular about web components, but that was a few years ago. See links below for that episode. 40:25 – Aimee. 40:31 – Guest: Yes, it’s a lot like working in Vue and web components. The concepts are very similar. 41:22 – Chris: Can someone please give us an example? A literal slideshow example? 41:45 – Guest answers the question. 45:07 – Chris. 45:12 – Guest: It’s a framework that just happens to use web components and stuff to help. 45:54 – Chuck: Yeah they make it easier (Palmer). Yeah there is a crossover with Palmer team and other teams. I can say that b/c I have talked with people from both teams. Anything else? 46:39 – Chuck: Where do they go to learn more? 46:49 – Guest: Check out the Club! And my Twitter! (See links below.) 47:33 – Chuck: I want to shout-out about DevLifts that has $19 a month to help you with physical goals. Or you can get the premium slot! It’s terrific stuff.

It doesn’t matter if these people are paying or not. 9:31 – Chris: Assuming I have a commute on the trail and it goes through a spotty section. In a scenario that it’s dependent on the JS...are we talking about 2 different things here? 10:14 – Panelist chimes-in. 10:36 – Chris: I can take advantage of it even if I cannot afford a new machine. 10:55 – Panel: Where would this really matter to you? 11:05 – Chris: I do have a nice new laptop. 11:12 – Chuck: I had to hike up to the hill (near the house) to make a call and the connection was really poor (in OK). It’s not the norm but it can happen. 11:37 – Chris: Or how about the All Trails app when I am on the trail. 11:52 – Guest. 12:40 – Chris: I can remember at the time that the desktop sites it was popular to have... Chris: Most of those sites were inaccessible to me. 13:17 – Guest. 13:51 – Chuck: First-world countries will have a good connection and it’s not a big deal. If you are thinking though about your customers and where they live? Is that fair? I am thinking that my customers need to be able to access the podcast – what would you suggest? What are the things that you’d make sure is accessible to them. 14:31 – Guest: I like to pick on the minimum viable experience? I think to read the transcript is important than the audio (MP3). 15:47 – Chuck. 15:52 – Guest: It’s a lot easier with Vue b/c you don’t’ have to set aside rendering. 17:13 – AJ: I am thinking: that there is a way to start developing progressively and probably cheaper and easier to the person who is developing. If it saves us a buck and helps then we take action. 17:49 – Guest: It’s much easier if you start that way and if you enhance the feature itself. 18:38 – AJ: Let me ask: what are the situations where I wouldn’t / shouldn’t worry about progressive enhancements? 18:57 – Guest answers the question. 19:42 – AJ: I want people to feel motivated in a place WHERE to start. Something like a blog needs Java for comments. Hamburger menu is mentioned, too. 20:20 – Guest. 21:05 – Chris: Can we talk about code? 21:16 – Aimee: This is the direction I wanted to go. What do you mean by that – building your applications progressively? Aimee refers to his blog. 21:44 – Guest. 22:13 – Chuck: I use stock overflow! 22:20 – Guest. 22:24 – Chuck: I mean that’s what Chris uses! 22:33 – Guest (continues). 23:42 – Aimee. 23:54 – Chris. 24:09 – Chris 24:16 – Chris: Andy what do you think about that? 24:22 – Guest: Yes, that’s good. 24:35 – Chris: Where it falls apart is the resistance to progressive enhancements that it means that your approach has to be boring? 25:03 – Guest answers the question. The guest mentions modern CSS and modern JavaScript are mentioned along with tooling. 25:50 – Chuck: My issue is that when we talk about this (progressive enhancement) lowest common denominator and some user at some level (slow network) and then they can access it. Then the next level (better access) can access it. I start at the bottom and then go up. Then when they say progressive enhancement I get lost. Should I scrap it and then start over or what? 26:57 – Guest: If it’s feasible do it and then set a timeline up. 27:42 – Chuck: You are saying yes do it a layer at a time – but my question is HOW? What parts can I pair back? Are there guidelines to say: do this first and then how to test? 28:18 – Advertisement – Sentry.io 29:20 – Guest: Think about the user flow. What does the user want to do at THIS point? Do you need to work out the actual dependencies? 30:31 – Chuck: Is there a list of those capabilities somewhere? So these users can use it this way and these users can use it that way? 30:50 – Guest answers the question. 31:03 – Guest: You can pick out the big things. 31:30 – Chuck: I am using this feature in the browser... 31:41 – Guest. 31:46 – Chris: I think this differently than you Andy – I’ve stopped caring if a browser supports something new. I am fine using CSS grid and if your browser doesn’t support it then I don’t have a problem with that. I get hung up on, though if this fails can they still get the content? If they have no access to these – what should they be able to do? Note: “Cutting the Mustard Test” is mentioned. 33:37 – Guest. 33:44 – Chuck: Knowing your users and if it becomes a problem then I will figure it out. 34:00 – Chris: I couldn’t spare the time to make it happen right now b/c I am a one-man shop. 34:20 – Chuck and Chris go back-and-forth. 34:36 –Chris: Check out links below for my product. 34:54 – AJ: A lot of these things are in the name: progressive. 36:20 – Guest. 38:51 – Chris: Say that they haven’t looked at it all before. Do you mind talking about these things and what the heck is a web component? 39:14 – The guest gives us his definition of what a web component is. 40:02 – Chuck: Most recent episode in Angular about web components, but that was a few years ago. See links below for that episode. 40:25 – Aimee. 40:31 – Guest: Yes, it’s a lot like working in Vue and web components. The concepts are very similar. 41:22 – Chris: Can someone please give us an example? A literal slideshow example? 41:45 – Guest answers the question. 45:07 – Chris. 45:12 – Guest: It’s a framework that just happens to use web components and stuff to help. 45:54 – Chuck: Yeah they make it easier (Palmer). Yeah there is a crossover with Palmer team and other teams. I can say that b/c I have talked with people from both teams. Anything else? 46:39 – Chuck: Where do they go to learn more? 46:49 – Guest: Check out the Club! And my Twitter! (See links below.) 47:33 – Chuck: I want to shout-out about DevLifts that has $19 a month to help you with physical goals. Or you can get the premium slot! It’s terrific stuff. Sign-up with DEVCHAT code but there is a limited number of slots and there is a deadline, too. Just try it!

#India scored more runs than #Australia but still lost the first T20I of the series. How? What's this Duckworth-Lewis-Stern system? That's on this #AakashVani podcast.
We have indeed been fortunate over the past few weeks to discuss the book of Leviticus. Regarding the study of Leviticus….”Leviticus is a most misunderstood book, by both Jews and Christians. It seems to be both ancient and irrelevant - all the way from animal sacrifices to the ritual practices of Levites and Priests, and in a Temple that no longer stands. Yet, I believe no book in the Hebrew Bible speaks to us more eloquently and powerfully about the life of a person of faith than does this book. It all begins with understanding that the real name of the book (in Hebrew) is not Leviticus; rather, it’s Vayikra. God calls. And one of the first words that follows is korban, which means to draw near. So, the book really is: God Calls Us to Draw Near. In the third week of the series, we discuss who he intends his priests to be (sounding like that would be us), what they should do after departing the Divine Presence, how do they should live and their call to service in the world. I. Re-cap and Introduction - We’ll review the goals of these lessons and re-cap our study - the nature and importance of each of the three segments of the book. By way of further introduction, I want to comment briefly on how complex the Bible really is. Sometimes even the best students can be intimidated by scholarship that gives rise to the fear that “I can never get my arms around it.” Further, one’s tempted to be further intimidated simply to accept conventional readings of the text, however unsatisfying such readings may be. I’ve tried on the basis of strong sources, respect for scholarship, an appreciation of Hebrew, and some creativity to show ways of approaching the text that give it both truth as well as a freshness and that make it accessible to modern people of faith. We’ll discuss. II. A. Read Exodus 19:6. What does it mean that we should be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation unto God? B. For Christians, what’s the impact of I Peter 2:5-9? (“You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ?”) C. It could be argued, thus, that the principles of “the priesthood of believers” might in certain ways be applicable to both Jews and Christians in the modern world. How? What would that mean? What would our roles be within such a construct? Before you answer, read Leviticus 21:6, 22:2. What does the text say priests do that explicitly requires that they be holy? Who plays this specific role in our own time? II. We won’t read in Chapters 21 and 22 of all the defilements that are prohibited of the priest in marriage, dress, certain defects and distractions, or in the manner of performing service. While we might agree or disagree with some or all of these specific requirements in our own time, can we think of ways in which servants of God must be careful in their appearance, speech, and actions in order effectively and appropriately to fulfill their duties? III. Chapter 23 specifies festivals such as the sabbath, the Passover, Pentecost, Rosh Hashanah, the Day of Atonement, and the Festival of Tabernacles. While these represent sacred time for Jews, Christians, of course, have sacred occasions, too. The question is this: what’s the importance for “priests” and indeed all people of faith to recognize and celebrate time that is sacred? IV. Read Leviticus 24:2. What does it mean for people of faith that in sacred space “lamps be kept burning continually?” What does it mean that the people bring the finest olive oil to keep the light shining? V. Chapter 25 provides for the sabbatical and jubilee years. After I summarize these verses, we’ll explore this question: conceptually and ideally, why would the Bible place such ideas about these extraordinary uses of time before us as we begin to close out this book? VI. Chapter 27 discusses and provides guidance as to the making of vows and the payment of tithes. Why do you think the book ends with this particular focus? VII. Conclusion - we’ll spend the last 15 minutes or so, allowing folks to offer a thought or two about what we’ve studied that may be most enduring.
Knox Robinson is the Founder of First Run. Knox has spent time training alongside Mo Farah in Ethiopia, Eliud Kipchoge in Kenya and attended the Breaking2 Nike Project in May 2017. We dive into all of these topics with Knox in this podcast espisode. Don’t forget to check out our new book: Eliud Kipchoge – History’s fastest marathoner: An insight into the Kenyan life that shapes legends — — — — — — Podast Transcription (Matt) Thanks very much, Knox Robinson, for joining me today no this Sweat Elite podcast. Knox has a fascinating story, he’s spent some time training with Mo Farah and the Mudane – I think it’s pronounced – group in Ethiopia. (Knox) Mudane, Mudane. (Matt) Mudane? (Knox) Yeah, the president Mudane, yeah. (Matt) Mudane, yeah, got to get that right… Before the London marathon last year, and he spent some time with Eliud Kipchoge in Kenya, as well, as attended the Monza sub-2 Nike event last year in Italy. So, thanks very much for joining me today, Knox. (Knox) I’m excited to be rapping with you, for sure. (Matt) Cool. I guess we can get started by talking a little bit more about yourself and your background. You were a runner in high school and in college, you attended Wake Forest University and got yourself to, I guess, a decent standard before taking some time away from the sport, but then, you were drawn back, I guess, some ten years later, or thereabouts. I guess it would be good to talk a little bit more about, I guess, what took you away, and then what drew you back, and where you’re at now. (Knox) You know, I think, you know, really, what happened was… It’s tough. I mean, like, legions of runners will tell you how hard it is to make that leap from a, you know, passionate high school runner to walking on a top level program. I mean, Wake Forest University, in the mid to late 90s, when I walked on, was – for a very small school – had an incredibly credential distance program for this moment in time. I mean, when I walked into the locker room my first year, half of the United States junior cross country team was there, in the locker room. So, you know… Like, we had guys in there, you know, beyond all Americans – we had, just, a bunch of dudes who loved getting it cracking, and on the women’s side, there was also great athletes as well. So, it was amazing, and it was a tight knit group. I kind of, on a good day, I was scratching at that 10th man position, but it was also really challenging to kind of keep going and stay inspired when, you know, you’re… You’re just, kind of, like, 18, 19 years old, figuring it out, you’re not there on an athletic scholarship, and, you know, there’s a bunch of other interests exploding around you, and so… It got to the point where it was kind of make or break, and I kind of had a… A couple of, sort of, like, disappointing, kind of, moments on my own accord. And so, I just, you know, stopped running. Now, I’m so deep in it, all this time later, that it’s weird to think that I just made the decision to stop. But that’s what I love about what I’m doing now, is, like, I want to kind of share back with, like, young people, that your own passion for running and your own pursuit – whether the competitive or non-competitive, or performance-based, or just, you know, feeling good about yourself and your body… It doesn’t really have to be dependant on university scholarship and being part of a team. You can do it on a team, you can do it on your own, you can form your own team, you can form your own crew, and I hope to share with the folks that you can, kind of, do it for the course of your life. It’s not just something you’re going to do in your school age years. (Matt) Absolutely. And I think… I don’t want to… I guess, before I go into the quote that I read from you, I did, I guess, discover your content, for the most part I’ve heard the name before, but… On the Rich Roll podcast. And on the Rich Roll podcast, you had a great quote that said ‘Running is act of religion…’ – sorry – ‘…of rebellion.’ And you go on to, sort of, talk about how, you know, nobody wants you to run, you’re supposed to just be a digit, a one of… A one or a zero in the code, and you’re not supposed to get out and think for yourself. And I think that that’s… It’s very, very true. And you can, sort of, go and do this on your own. And, as you just sort of pointed it out, you don’t have to have university scholarship to, sort of, prove that. (Knox) Yeah. I mean, to put it in a… To put it in a better way, less, like, strident way, like a friend of mine once told me: ‘You’re only one… You’re only young once, but you can be immature for the rest of your life.’ So… Definitely… You’re definitely only young once, but you can definitely run wild for a really long time. (Matt) Absolutely. And you, yourself, have ran quite a fast half marathon yourself. (Knox) I just ran 70 minutes. I just ran 70 minutes in a half, and… (Matt) That’s quick. (Knox) At Valencia, earlier this year. (Matt) Alright! Oh, I was there. (Knox) Oh. It was incredible. (Matt) It was very windy that day. (Knox) It was windy! That’s what I’m saying. Everybody can talk junk, you know, talk trash, like, ‘Oh, it was windy…’ It rained tw… It’s only a half, rained twice… (Matt) And… Yes. (Knox) And it was windy cross and in your face, and, you know, I don’t know if you’ve ever raced in Europe, but, like, European dudes don’t play. They’re mean. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) They’re out for blood. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) You know, it’s not like cross country jabbing you in the ribs – these guys are, like… These guys have, like, triangle formations, they’re talking in front of you as they’re running, like, 70 minutes for the half… They’re surgning… It’s definitely very, very competitive in the way that, like, that sort of sports culture in Europe is. And so it’s awesome to just, kind of, like, catch a plane from New York and pop into the race, and, yeah, I popped a big one. I was… That was wild. (Matt) Yeah, and I think… (Knox) So… That was a high watermark for me, for sure. (Matt) Oh, yeah. That’s awesome. And you ran 70 minutes, but I actually didn’t realize it was Valencia, and being there that day, I think most people ran at least 30 seconds to a minute slower than their potential, or their personal best, most people. So… (Knox) I was 70 low, I was 70 low. I would have… (Matt) You’ve got a… Yeah, you’ve got… People want to go here. (Knox) I was thinking… I would have leaned in for 69, but I was finishing up with two younger guys, and they were really struggling, so, like, I didn’t want them to ruin my finish line photo, I didn’t want them to, like, head to the side, so I was, like, ‘You go on ahead, let me just… I’ll give you a little room so I look cute on the finish line.’ (Matt) I’m impressed you were thinking this credibly at the end of a half marathon, well done. (Knox) Look, times are going to come and go, but, like, a good photo… You need to, like, make sure it’s crispy. (Matt) Yeah. It was super windy between, I think, what – 10 and 16 kilometer mark, but… Yeah. That’s awesome. (Knox) Yeah. (Matt) So, I guess, I think what most people listening to this podcast would be super interested in would be about your time spent in Ethiopia, with Mo Farah’s training group, before the London marathon last yeah. And, although I sort of know the backstory about how that came about, and how you were asked to go, and, sort of, what happened there, I think it would be really cool to talk about all of this over the next, sort of, 10 to 15 minutes, because it is quite fascinating how you ended up there. And, sort of, some of the stories, kind of, about that. For example, you know, the story about the… About the coffee, how they went to get some coffee one day and the coffee machine wasn’t working, and just the general culture around there and how… I guess what you went in expecting it would be like, and then what it was actually like. So, it would be really cool for us to chat a little bit about that. (Knox) Yeah. I mean, it was… It was… I don’t want to call it a fluke, but it was just kind of like a hilarious chain of events before the New York City marathon, I was kind of lucky to kind of be one of the last guys accepted into the Sub-Elite field, so I rode out on the Sub-Elite bus to the start line of the New York City marathon, and was in the holding area with the Elite guys, so everybody is in this sort of indoor track area on Staten Island before the race, a couple of hours before the race. Super chill environment, everybody’s running around on the track, men and women, elites and sub-elites, and I was… I had kind of been on a several months’ meditation wave, so I go off to the side, I meditate, I come back, and then, when I come back to the track, I’m not really friends with any, like, the elite runners on the New York City scene, you know? They’re in, like, the rich guy clubs, and they work on Wall Street and all that kind of stuff, and I’m sort of, like… You know, an older black dude with, like, a chipped tooth and, you know, kind hangs out in Brooklyn, so… I was, like, ‘I’m just going to go hang out with, like, the African dudes. (Matt) Which is a good move, which is a great move… (Knox) Like, I’m black, so, I’ll just hang out, and the black guy is, like, ‘Hey, is this, like…This is the black section, let me hang out with the brothers.’ So, I go over there, and I knew Abdi, so at least go over and sit by Abdi, I’m stretching… Meb’s over there, Meb, kind of, like, says ‘What’s up?’ And then, Kamworor’s there, I think Stanley Biwott was there, I knew Wilson Kipsang… (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) From meeting him in Berlin a few weeks… A few months before, when he dropped out. So… I knew some of the guys. I just, like, dropped myself down and hung out, and then Abdi sort of – to, like, make conversation – was, like, ‘Hey, man…’ And I’m thinking about New York, I’m thinking about, like, what I’m going to execute on First Avenue, I’m, like, in my zone, I’m trying to be cool. Not trying to, like, fan out, and, like, take selfies with these guys. And Abdi’s like, ‘Hey, man, why don’t you come out to Ethiopia? I’m going to be there training with Mo again, Mo ready for London.’ And I was, like, ‘Yeah. Cool.’ And I just left it at that. I was, like, ‘Yeah. Cool. I will.’ I said ‘Yeah. Cool.’ So… So, then, I mean, fast forward, I just booked a flight and, like, went out to the camp, which is probably north of Addis Ababa, in this small little hamlet, this little town called Sululta, where Haile Gebrselassie’s complex is, and then, across the street, of course, is Kenenisa Bekele’s complex, or his old place that some Chinese guys bought. So, yeah, showed up in the middle of the night, they didn’t have a room for me as planned. I went across the street and stayed at Kenny B’s place… Kenny’s old place. That was one of the worst places I’ve ever slept at in my life, and I’ve slept at a lot of tough places… (Matt) This is Kenny Bekele’s accommodation? (Knox) Yeah, but it hadn’t been, like, kept up in a couple of years, because he sold it to, like, some chinese investors, and didn’t maintain it. And now he’s building a new place across the street, and that’s where Mo trains. (Matt) OK. (Knox) So, Mo trains at Kenenisa’s track, which is next door to Haile Gebrselassie’s hotel and track. (Matt) Right. OK. (Knox) So, Mo is staying at Haile’s pace, and training at Kenenisa’s place. (Matt) Big names there. (Knox) It was crazy, no, it was crazy. And then, like, you know… Met… Guys were just driving up… It was just… It was just… It’s a wild town, it’s a wild town, to think that much elite, sort of, talent is, like, in and out as much as… Goat herders are there, and, like, a church is, like, doing ceremonies in the middle of the night, all night… It was just really a wild scene. Very, very different from the peaceful, sort of, environment that Eliud Kipchoge trains in. But I think Mo Farah really thrives on energy and excitement, for sure. (Matt) Yeah. OK. So that’s how it came about, and I guess you’ve introduced us to, like, how… What it was like coming in to Sululta… (Knox) Yeah. It’s Abdi’s fault. (Matt) Which I’d like to talk a little bit more about… (Knox) We can blame it on Abdi. Abdi’s fault. (Matt) Yeah, OK, so you were staying in this little shack. (Knox) Yeah. (Matt) Across the road from Bekele’s track. (Knox) Yeah. (Matt) I guess, what was the deal then, like…? (Knox) And then I couldn’t do that, so… (Matt) Alright, you changed… (Knox) The next day, then, I moved in… The next day I moved into Haile Gebrselassie’s, sort of, hotel spot. And that was cool. So, I stayed next door to Mo, Abdi, Bashir Abdi, who just got second in the 10,000 for Belgium at the European championships, and then, like, a bunch of young Somali guys, as well, in the camp. (Matt) Awesome. OK, and, I guess, what was it… Yeah, what was it like next to these guys and being able to… I’m assuming, you’ve mentioned in podcasts and to me before we started recording this that you attended some training runs and some training sessions, so it would be really cool to learn a little bit more about what that experience was like. (Knox) Yeah, I mean, I lived… I mean, I lived… Yeah, I don’t want to say I lived with them, because we were in the same room, but I lived next door, you know? Like… And I ran with these guys two or three times a day. I will say that I was in pretty good shape, obviously. A month after that I ran 70 minutes and a half, but… And I had spent some time at altitude… The same altitude, what, 8,000 feet or something like that, 8,000 – 9,000 feet in Mexico the month before, so the altitude wasn’t a big shock, but I will say that these guys, on the easy runs, definitely… It was definitely a bit rough. (Matt) You said it was also dead silent, too, in the… (Knox) Pardon? (Matt) You also said that it was very quiet in the easy runs, in the Rich Roll podcast? (Knox) That’s the thing, yeah, like… You know, you’d expect… And again, when you’re in school, or your hanging out in your little running crew, or even… Honestly, you know, when you go on on your long run, on the weekends, and you’re running, whatever, 20, 22, 23 miles… You’re catching up on the night before, you’re talking about this and that, you’re unloading on the week, all that kind of stuff… Then, on the easy runs, with these guys? They didn’t talk at all. Like, these runs, at a casual pace for these guys, the runs were in complete silence. And that was, like, really unnerving, that the easy runs are quiet. On other hand, the most intense track workouts that I witnessed – and It’s not like I was stepping on the track and running with these guys – but they had such a good vibe… Like, you would have thought these guys were just, like, messing around and, like, in the off season, the way the vibe was, and then, they’re stepping on the track and they’re running, like, 4 minute miles at altitude, like, on the track… And, like, dudes are falling down, you know, Mo is just, like, chewing through his pacers and, you know, the coach is on the bicycle trying to keep up, and… Meanwhile, while this is happening, they’re playing, like, Drake on their Beats Pill, or, you know, Mo is asking people to take pictures of, like, his abs and video on the iPhones, so he can post it later on his Instagram… (Matt) Yeah, he got you his phone and just said… (Knox) And he’s still ripping through reps, like, wildly. Honestly, it’s just crazy. (Matt) That’s awesome. There’s so many things I wanted to dive into there… (Knox) Yeah, yeah… (Matt) I guess, firstly, I’d like to know – before we talk about the track styles – when you were talking about the easy runs and there were, sort of, quiet. They were quiet, but you also said before that they were rough. I mean, what sort of pace are they guys punching up there? And, mind you, before we get into that, I guess the altitude is… What, it’s 2,700 meters, which… Or thereabouts, which is some… What’s that in feet? (Knox) Close to 8,000. So, yeah. Addis Ababa is, you said, 2,700 meters. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Yeah, so, I mean, that’s… That’s just casual running for them, at, like, 2,700 – 2,800 meters. And then, you know, sometimes on the long runs, they might do, like, an uphill long run, or you know, there’s a hill or a mountain right next to the training camp that these guys didn’t do, but a lot of athletes would run right up, and that’s, you know, close to 10,000 feet, so 3,200 meters or something like that. (Matt) Oh. (Knox) That’s… That’s pretty intense. I mean, if you look at… I don’t know what a lot of other places around the world are, but as far as in the United States, even a lot of these training locales in Colorado are much more casual altitude than that. Like, closer… (Matt) Oh, yeah. They’re closer to 2,000 maybe… (Knox) Closer to 64… 6,400 feet or something like that, not to diss any of my friends in Colorado, but… This was not that. This was, like, getting up and eating oatmeal at 8,000 feet, and then, you know, going out and… You know, like I said, I was in shape. I mean, I even went out and ran, like, my little 20-mile Boston marathon training run on my little Boston course before I went. And I was, like, ripping off pace, I was fit. And I went out to Ethiopia, and man… These guys were running, I don’t know… These guys were running quick on their easy runs, you know? Even their jog was just kind of, like… I was having to work. It was embarrassing, because I was in good shape, and they’re looking at me, like, ‘Ehh…’ You know? The only thing that saved me was, like, going out on a, you know, on a long run, and… Because I looked like I was dragging. I was tired, I didn’t look real, obviously I’m not stepping in their workout, so they didn’t know what it was. And when we went out on long runs, 20 milers, or 22 milers, the fact that I was able to do a 20 mile run in two hours, two hours and, you know, one minute with, like, no support, like, minimal fueling and hydration, at 8,000 feet or 9,000 feet, they’re like, ‘Ohh? OK, OK. Oh, OK. OK.’ Because, when it came to just the easy miles, the 7, 8, 9, 10 miles, man that… It was rough. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) But that’s the level… That’s the shape he’s in. I mean, Mo… Mo… Mo… Mo Farah is in shape this year, for sure, as you’ve seen by him… His run at London and then his run at the Great North Run, and then… I mean, I’m excited to see what he’s going to do in Chicago this weekend. (Matt) Yeah, yeah. It will be interesting to see how he goes there and whether or not he takes some more time off his… Off his personal best. But… (Knox) For sure. (Matt) Yeah, now thanks for, sort of, painting that picture about how it… How… What it was like to do the, the… The more aerobic running with them, and I guess it would be cool to touch a little bit more on what the track sessions were like and what it felt like to be there, and… I love the story that you told on the Rich Roll podcast, about how Mo was just, like, ‘Hey, man, can you… Can you get my phone from my bag, and here’s my password, and… Just open it up, take photos…’ (Knox) Right! This is, you know, like… This is not even in the beginning of the workout, this is, like, halfway through the workout, during, like, a… During the recovery. He’s, like, ‘Hey, mate – can you go in my bag and get my phone, the red phone.’ He had, like… He had two iPhone Xs, like… I… I… I’m from New York, I’ve got cool luggage, you know, I work with Nike. I’ve got, like… I’ve got the prototype of the Peg Turbos, I’ve got a couple of pairs of 4%s in the bag… You know. I’m cool. But I didn’t get the iPhone X before it went out. I didn’t want to, like, drop it, I didn’t want to get robbed… Whatever. So, I go out to Ethiopia, Mo’s got two iPhone Xs! I was, like, ‘Oh, man. This guy is embarrassing me, like… ‘ He’s asking me to go in his bag, gives me the passcode, and then, like, wants me to take, like, photos and videos of him as he’s doing his workout, so he can post something to IG later. And then, after I did it, he didn’t even use them. Like, he didn’t even think the photos and the videos are that good. Like, he didn’t, like… I failed. That’s the worst part. (Matt) Oh, no. (Knox) I haven’t… I haven’t told anybody that, but he didn’t any use any of the stuff I took. I was, like… He’s like, ‘Oh, yeah, oh… OK. Yeah, cool. Not bad, yeah.’ I was, like, ‘Oh, come on!’ The angle, I’m laying down on the track trying to do artistic shots as he goes by, yeah… He didn’t really respect my… My… My social media. My social media… My social media technique. He didn’t really respect it, so… It’s OK. (Matt) Awesome. (Knox) But that was incredible, man. Like, just… It just made me think, like, you know, usually I think that an elite has got, like, to approach the most serious sessions with the most seriousness of purpose, or the most serious demeanor. But, you know, you’ve got to choose the demeanor that works for you. And I realised it’s about creating a good environment and creating a good vibe, and having good energy. And then, that’s going to push you to better performances, rather than some real intense situation where, you know, you’re kind of on the wrong side of pressure and… And… And… And, and, and… And Intensity. You know what I mean? (Matt) Absolutely. (Knox) It’s better to create a vibe and then just to, like, have Mo get stoked, and then tear up the track. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Rather than just kind of, like, ‘Can I do it? Oh, I’m going to run and get this impossible workout and then fail!’ Like… The other thing is this guy loves… And this is what I wanted to bring back and also share with people in my group, Black Roses, but also with other folks in the running world at large – like, this guy loves the challenge. Like, you know, you’re used to it. People dread the long run, like, ‘Oh, I’m worried about my long run this weekend. Oh, I can’t believe I have to do this long run this weekend.’ And we always speak about our biggest challenges, I mean, as regular people, like, in negative terms. You know? But Mo would be sitting around at lunch on Tuesday, already excited and chatting about the long run on Sunday. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Like, at one point, he was pitching the coach, he was, like, ‘Oh, Sunday we might go to this other place and run with the Ethiopian group.’ And the coach says, like, ‘No. No, no, no, no, no. No.’ Because, right? Mo’s excited to go to, like, another location for the long run, and do the long run with, like, the Ethiopian national team, and Ethiopian elites. (Matt) Right. That’s really interesting. (Knox) Rather than my ‘hiding at a camp’, or my ‘training is secret’, or whatever. He wanted to go and have the Sunday long run with other guys and the best in the world, like, away from cameras, away from whatever – just for the battle. Like, the light in his eyes that went up, when he was, like, trying to get his coach to let him go run with these guys, and the coach is, like, ‘No. You’re not going to do that. Because, as soon as you guys get out there, you’re going to start going, and then you’re going to start going crazy…’ And Mo’s like, ‘No, no! It’s going to be chill!’ He was actually asking the coach, he was telling him, like, ‘No, it’s going to be fine. It’s just friendly, we’re just going to go and have a good time.’ And the coach is, like, ‘No way.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, this dude not only is, like, it’s Tuesday, and he’s already chomping at the bit for the long run…’ (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) ‘… but also he wants to go and race these other dudes that he’ll outrun, with these other dudes that he races at the olympics and championships, and the marathon.’ (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) He was, like, wanting to do that. For fun. (Matt) Just for fun. That’s awesome. (Knox) Just for the battle. Just for the war. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Like, that was inspiring. So, I’m trying to, like, really come back and, like, change the own culture around my own group that everyone, like, gets excited for the long run on the weekends, and people get excited, you hit them with a workout and then they’re, like, ‘Yeah, let’s do… Yeah! Alright! Yeah!’ You know? I want that excitement. (Matt) It’s… (Knox) Because that’s going to change the vibe and that’s going to change the results. (Matt) Absolutely. It’s a really interesting topic, this, actually. Because I just spent, I guess, the better part of the decade living in Europe. And, other than Finland, for the most part, and in that country – I know it’s quite similar in other countries in Europe – it was very common for the… For it, sort of, essentially, to be the exact opposite of you just said, in a way that people would train on their own, they wouldn’t want to train with other people because they had a set, programmed, that they wanted to follow, from their coach. And it was almost, like… I was in Helsinki, it was almost like there was quite a lot of good runners around the town, but they were also training on their own. And the idea of getting together and doing something like you’ve just described, like, a whole bunch of guys that are all competing against each other just to, like, punch at a hard tempo around… That was, like, no way would anyone ever come up with that or do that. And it’s just… It’s not even a thought. Like… So it was really quite interesting that that’s how Mo was, sort of… That’s how Mo is. And that’s how he sees it, that’s what he wants to do. And it’s… Yeah. It’s really quite interesting. It’s… And I guess more people could do that. (Knox) I mean, it’s understandable. I mean, I come out of that, and, like, keeping workouts a secret, and training on your own… But it’s, like… And it…(audio skips, 37:29) Plan, and it doesn’t mean that, like, Mo doesn’t follow a schedule. But as, you know, as an elite, there’s only a certain number of workouts left to do. There’s only… I mean, there’s only a certain kind of workout to do. There’s only a certain handful of approaches, you know? (Matt) Absolutely. (Knox) So, what are you really going to do to get that little edge? Especially when we know that edge is .5 seconds or .2 seconds… You know? (Matt) Yeah. Exactly. Right. (Knox) What is that edge? It’s mentality and experience, and, like… I don’t know. Of course, we love that cliche of, like, the loneliness of the long distance runner. We love that. But I love seeing Mo, you know, having a whole training group of friends, and when they weren’t training, they sat around and listened to music, and laughed about a bunch of stuff, and talked about soccer and… you know? Or football, rather. Or whatever. And just, like, had a good time. And then, when it came to really go to that… To the highest heights, it was… (Matt) Game on. (Knox) It was game on. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) It was, you know… It was fascinating. (Matt) Yeah. I really found it interesting, too, that on the Rich Roll podcast, that you spoke about how they didn’t ever know what the training session was ahead of them until they were, like, warmed up in track. (Knox) Right. (Matt) Yeah. And how, you sort of said yourself, all these, you know… Nothing against all the people that have these, sort of, training programs scheduled out for months on end, and so on. But these guys, like, I think you said it well, like, Mo is thinking in his head, it could be one of many things before the training session, and that’s… You were talking about how that could be used as an advantage. (Knox) Yeah, had to step back and think about it, because it’s, like… Like I said, I wasn’t stepping on the track and, like, jumping in his workouts, you know? A couple of times, the guys are like, ‘Are you jumping in on this?’ When I was, like, ‘Come on, man.’ So, guys were cool. Wasn’t like I just, like, you know… But I was on the sidelines, and I was just watching, because it was better to… It was an education. When are you going to get to see one of the best guys in the world at the office, you know? (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Day in and day out. So, it was just fascinating to watch that… That… That particular approach, you know what I mean? (Matt) Absolutely. You also said that you had a lot of people after the trip not so much ask about the workouts, but they were asking about, like, the diet. And the… I think you said it was, like, a peanut butter, like a recipe or something… Something like that. (Knox) Yeah, I mean, it was cool because… Well, yeah. I just think that, like, in these days, we love… I mean, Eliud Kipchoge is so inspiring. His words are so inspiring, his life, his… His… His, just, entire aura is… Is super inspirational and aspirational. And then, Mo’s personality is infectious and what he’s done for the culture, you know… What Abdi’s done, like, all these guys are great personalities, and I like… I like… I like learning about that. I like studying… Studying that. And so, you know, a lot of times, Mo’s coach was really afraid that I was going to, like, leak this or that workout… You know, I Was taking notes or whatever, writing down the workouts… Was worried that I was going to, like, leak a certain kind of workout, and I understand that. It’s intellectual property, and Mo is heading up for London marathon, and Bekele and Kipchoge were entered in the race. So, I understand. It was in… The pressure was on. But, on the other hand, you don’t… No one ever asked me about a workout. People wanted to know what the diet was, people wanted to know about Mo drinking coffee, Ethiopian coffee, which is, of course, like, an incredible coffee experience… People wanted to know about the strength that they have in the camps out there, peanut butter tea and the recipe for peanut butter tea… So, you know, it’s really an interesting moment right now that we’re in, that people want to know not, like, what it is, but how it is. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) You know? (Matt) Yeah. Absolutely. Well, thanks, thanks so much for sharing a good 20 minutes there of, you know, your experiences i Ethiopia. I think it’s a perfect time to sort of transition to your time spent with Eliud Kipchoge in Kenya. (Knox) Yeah. (Matt) So, I’m actually not that… So much familiar with this experience that you had, but you did go to Kenya once, so… (Knox) Mhm. (Matt) And then, you did spend some time in Kaptagat, as did we, around a year ago now, training alongside him before Berlin. I mean, it was really cool to learn a bit more about how you… About your experience in Kaptagat and training alongside that global NN Running Team. (Knox) Well, yeah. And I, you know… Much respect to the global NN Running Team, and I definitely wasn’t’, like, training alongside of them, and did… It was much different from the Mo Farah experience. I was there, sort of, independently, and then with… In Kaptagat, I was there as part of a Nike team, you know, working on a project just to, kind of, like, connect with Eliud around that Flyprint innovation, 3D printed shoe that came out earlier in the year for a few elites to race in… So, it was more of just a chance to kind of connect with Eliud off the radar, Geoffrey, Abel… And then, also, like, I had connected with Patrick Sang, who’s a master coach, and just a master human being. And so, having spent time with coach Patrick Sang the year before in Berlin, and then being able to connect with him back in Kaptagat was an experience that brought all his training and coaching philosophies and arguments to life. So, it was more just a sort of an overall, cohesive experience, and a chance to witness that rarified element, and environment of Kenyan distance training, like, first person. (Matt) Yeah. For sure. I guess you’re such a… You’re very good at describing and, I guess, painting a picture, and I think it would be really cool to spend maybe a minute now describing what it’s like in Kaptagat. And coming Eldoret and then what… I guess what the little village is like. (Knox) Yeah, I mean, you’ve seen the visuals, you know it’s just, like, one highway coming into a town, it’s like that through much of East Africa, as so much Chinese investment is helping build roads and like, just, to really kind of ease with the export of natural resources… So there’s, like, a… You know, a main two-lane highway, blacked up highway, but Eliud’s camp, the NN Running camp, or the Global Sports… global Sports Communication, right? GSC camp, where Eliud’s lived for… Since his late teens, or for the past 14 or 15 years, if not more… Was really incredible. People know it’s super simple and austere, cinder block construction. But, at the same time, they also do have solar panels and solar energy that was installed last year, so really kind of looking at a well thought out training environment for the express purpose of, like, pursuing excellence in long distance running. Athletes would go out and, of course, you’ve seen the photos of them tearing up these tracks and these amazing chain groups, star-studded training groups on the track, and then you’ve seen, you know, or heard stories of the long runs where 200 people, 250 people show up for the long run. But back in the camp, it’s really amazing, it’s just the best athletes in the world sitting around on plastic lawn chairs, kind of checking their phones, playing, like, the latest music from, you know, their scene, like, on their phones, doing some dances, and then, you know, sipping tea and just kind of joking and giving each other a tough time. A lot of jokes and revelry, and then, obviously, because it’s a self-sustaining operation, all the athletes in the camp are assigned different duties and… And details. So, on one day, Eliud Kipchoge and Geoffrey Kamworor might be tasked to clean all the trains. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Even if they’re, you know, the best runners in the world, world champions in the half-marathon and, you know, world record holders in the marathon and all that, so… Dudes still have to clean the toilets. It’s super humbling experience. And the other thing is, even though Eliud’s the… An elder in the camp, he doesn’t always, like, set the schedule or set the responsabilites. Sometimes it’s the younger athletes who do the assignment. That’s how, you know, horisontal the structure is. That, like, everybody has a part in everything. So, even the younger athletes have to have not just labour, but also the responsibility when it comes to assigning duties and stuff in the camp. (Matt) That’s really interesting. So, how long did you spend at… There? (Knox) I was there a week. A little over a week. (Matt) And did you manage to get to Iten? (Knox) No, I was just in Eldoret. I was supposed to go and have dinner with Allie Kieffer. Do you know about Allie Kieffer? She is a super exciting runner on the US scene who surprised a bunch of people with a big finish at New York City marathon last year, after kind of working her way into elite status later on, and now she’s really been tearing up the roads over the past year. So, she shoutout Allie Kieffer, and she’s poised for, like, a big New York City marathon coming up in a few weeks. But, anyways, Allie was over there, training at Iten, and I don’t know if she was living with Betsy Saina, but yeah, she was, like, ‘Ah come over for dinner…’ But I really underestimated how hard it is to get from Eldoret to Iten. They’re not that far apart as the crow flies on Google, but… Or even in an Uber. But, the reality of transport between the two places is a little tough, so… I didn’t make it out there. (Matt) OK. Good, well, yeah. Thank you once again for sharing that, stories about that experience. And, I guess, a couple more things would be good to talk about. First one is, you attended the Monza Nike Sub 2… I guess, what was the official name of the race? So, I’m mind blanking, but it was the… (Knox) Well, officially, it wasn’t a race. (Matt) Yeah, the challenge, I guess. Event. (Knox) What was it? It was an experience. (Matt) Experience, yeah. (Knox) It was more, like… (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Woodstock wasn’t a concert, you know what I mean? Jimi Hendrix said ‘Have you ever been experienced?’ Monza was an experience. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) So, Monza was an attempt to see if… An attempt to break two hours in over 26,2 miles, I suppose. That’s how you would put it cleanly. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) But yeah, it was incredible. I mean, obviously, you know, it was on a Formula 1, a very famous Formula 1 track in Monza, Italy, and along with Eliud Kipchoge, who else did we have there? It was… (Matt) Tadese? (Knox) Zersenay Tadese and… (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) The young Ethiopian guy… (Matt) I don’t remember his name, but he was the one that… Did he drop out or did he run? He was a little bit far back… (Knox) No, everybody finished. (Matt) They all finished. (Knox) Those 3 guys finished, and then they had a team of all star pacers, so even though the pacers were incredible – Bernard Lagat, Chris Derrick, Lopez Lomong… So it was really… Again, to use the word, the phrase ‘star-studded’, it was a super kind of crazy experience to watch this level of execution, just in the pursuit of an ideal. (Matt) Absolutely. And you mentioned how, I guess, how motivating and inspiring the event was, especially towards the end, and you mentioned that you shed a tear towards the end of that race, and I guess I would have been absolutely fascinated… (Knox) Yeah; I mean, at this point, I have to admit, I did get misty eyed. .. (Matt) It was raining, so, you could have caught a hardest… (Knox) Perhaps it was the high dew point, it may have been the dew point from the morning… But there was noticeable fogging in my sunglasses, and there was no reason for me to be wearing sunglasses, because it was cloudy and raining. No, but just to watch Eliud Kipchoge really commit – and I mean that in, like, a bunch of senses of the word, to commit his spirit and his body, and his mind, to this unprecedented task was beautiful to watch for most of it. But then, in the end, it was so excruciating as he was, like, straining, you know? And it’s tough to related this to other people who don’t have kids, but, you know, when you’re watching your kids figure out life, when you’re watching your kids, you know… You and I, we have success and failure perhaps an equal measure. And we’re figuring out for our own, and we don’t ask anybody to feel sorry for us. But to watch your kids try and fail, whether that’s try to ride a bicycle and fall, or, you know, make a team, or, you know, run for student government president, or in the spelling bee, or even just, you know, falling down at the playground and skinning their knee – it’s tough to watch another human being attempt something that they’ve never done before, and to be fearless, and doing that pursued. And that’s what it was like watching Eliud Kipchoge come so close to breaking two hours for 26,2 miles. It was in the heart. And to watch him finish, I… I cried. And then, immediately after he finished, I thought ‘Man, this guy did it because he thought he could do it. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) And he didn’t believe in any barriers. I mean, Nike marketing aside and, you know, the shoe and the preparation, the science behind it, and then the empirical conditions and the marginal gains… Man, I just missed… I’m finished, and I thought ‘This guy doesn’t believe in limits. This guy doesn’t believe… This guy thought he could do it. And then, in the next instance, I was, like, ‘What’s holding me back from my potential? What’s holding me back from my goals? (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) And yeah, I don’t even mean, like, my running goals. Sure, my running goals are, you know, I could train that much harder, you know… I can go on the wagon that much sooner… You know what I mean? (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) I could kind of, like, scuttle various aspects of my life and commit to something in running. But also, on a life level, what’s keeping me from being a better father and a better partner? And a better friend? And a better son? And a better brother? You know? Like, what’s keeping me from being a better citizen of the United States of America? Like, what’s keeping me from being, like, a writer that I’ve always dreamed of being, you know? Watching Eliud Kipchoge at Monza made me reflect on all the other aspects of my life outside of running. I think that’s part of the power that this man holds for us at this time in our culture. (Matt) That’s perfectly said. Yeah, awesome. Thank you, yeah. I’ll let you go soon. Thank you very much for everything today… (Knox) No, thank you. (Matt) I guess, very quickly, I’d like to just… Maybe we could talk about, just quickly, where people can learn a bit more about Black Roses first run? You have a very… A very cool Instagram account, and the handle is @firstrun. (Knox) @firstrun yeah. @firstrun – that’s, for better or for worse, the only place to find me, unless you want to, like, come to New York and, like, hang out. And then, you know, I’m spinning records with friends at a reggae club, or hanging out in the park. So, come to New York and hang out, but if you can’t do that yet, check me out on Instagram at @firstrun. I’ve never been on Facebook, I don’t have a Facebook account. (Matt) OK. (Knox) And Twitter didn’t work for me, as you can tell from the wordiness and the verbosity of this conversation. Twitter… I never figured out Twitter. So, Instagram is where I’m at. (Matt) Awesome. Thank you very much, once again, Knox. (Knox) Thank you, Matthew and Sweat Elite. I’m super excited to participate in the conversation. I love what you’re doing, shoutout to everybody who’s a part of Sweat Elite, and is a fan of your stuff, because I’m a fan, too, man. For sure. (Matt) Awesome. Thanks so much. (Knox) Thank you.

So what is a mindset hack? Well, for starters the definition of a hack is to jury-rig or improvise something inelegant but effective, usually as a temporary solution to a problem. So it is not pretty, but it works and the problem becomes once you see how well it works, you'll repeat it and it will become your new normal, no longer a temporary solution. While hacks aren't usually pretty, this mindset hack is one that you will want to keep applying to your business. Are you ready for it? IN THIS EPISODE Let's talk about the problem then we'll get to the solution. Does this sound like you? Problem: Focusing on the How Every year you set goals for the new year. Bright eyed and bushy tailed, you say to yourself, "This is my year!" Something about the new beginning gives you a mental reset. Out with the old, in with the new. The new you! Ready for anything. This is the year your dreams come true! You start dreaming about what you want to accomplish in a year. You make a vision board. You buy one of those pretty new planners and you start filling it up. So many blank pages. So much time! You've taken goal-setting workshops or courses, you know all about SMART goals. Specific. measurable. Attainable. Realistic and time bound. So you set a money goal a business goal or two and maybe a couple of personal goals... with actual numbers- and give them a date (aka deadline). And your brain says, ok, I'm down with that. Let's talk about how and make a plan. What happens when you go into how mode? You start to reverse engineer. And work backwards from that date. Your head starts spinning. But... you have LOTS of time! So you pencil in your tasks and due dates for all the things you MUST do and you SHOULD do. That planner is starting to fill up. You're feeling pretty damn good. Proud of yourself already. And you haven't even started the new year yet. This is off to a good start! Except, you've filled up that planner and forgotten about one kind of important thing: LIFE! When it comes to time, we severely overestimate what we can get done in short time spans, especially when it comes to new businesses or new projects or ventures. When we're new at something, there is a learning curve. It always takes 3-4x longer than it would take someone with experience. You end up doing one of 2 things: Get down on yourself. Beat yourself up. You've failed at accomplishing your goals. Doubt kicks in. "Am I ever going to be "that" successful?" Am I ever going to have that life on my dream board. Do I have what it takes. Is this possible for me? Or, you become the over achiever. The one who refuses to lose. So you buckle down and commit to making this goal happen no matter the cost. You work longer hours, skip meals, ignore your kids and refuse to let anything else battle for your attention. You've got a goal to reach! Why? Why do you want to reach that goal? So you can spend more time with the people you love. The same people you're stepping on and ignoring in order to reach the goal in the first place. Either way, the end game sucks! My problem with traditional goal-setting One you've been around awhile- 4+ years and you have process and systems in place, this kind of goal setting works really well! But up to that point, you don't know what you don't know. There are too many unknown variables at stake. First of all, you don't know how much time and effort it's "really" going to take to achieve your goals. So if you don't know, how can you plan for it? You can't. Not in the traditional sense, anyway. Second, you can't control other people's decisions. Business is a 2-way street. You have to present the right offer, to the right client at the right time. But then THEY have to decide to buy. What you can control is how you navigate those unknowns. And the one thing you can plan for and guarantee is that you'll continue to learn and grow and improve! The Mindset Hack You can set intentions instead of goals where you're measure progress and momentum rather than outcome. This is where you look back on your journey and celebrate your progress instead of looking ahead and punishing yourself for not reaching the goal. These intentions aren't annual. They are to be set either monthly or quarterly. But no more than that! A lot can change in 90 days! And when you detach yourself from the "how" and "when" constraints of traditional goals, and instead open yourself up to the opportunities the universe is trying send you, a lot will change! This is true for everyone in every stage of business, but is even more prominent if you're in your first couple of years in business, because during that time, you're constantly shifting and growing. You are learning what works and what doesn't. What's the difference between a goal and an intention? A goal is something you want to do or accomplish. It's something you check off your to-do list. Done. Next? These are the things that look good on a resume. Intentions connect you to the person you want to be. These are the things that make you proud. These are the things that people will make a powerful eulogy. Am I suggesting you completely forget about biz goals? No! But when you sit down to set them, I want you to hack into that old way of thinking and interrupt the pattern. Resist the urge to fill your planner up with a huge list of "to-do's" and "things to accomplish" Instead, ask yourself, What do I want to accomplish in the next 30, 60 or 90 days? How do I want to show up? Will this grow me as a person? How? What will it mean if it doesn't work out? How will I benefit even if it doesn't work out as planned? Am I allowing myself an exit strategy in case this isn't my thing? Will I love and respect myself no matter what? These questions are the beginning of beautiful intention setting because they connect you to the WHY instead of the how or when. With goals, we tend to get super attached to the outcome- we have a paint a picture in our heads of what we want to happen and slap a due date on it and then put our blinders on as we put pedal to the medal to make it happen. Whereas, with intentions, we detach from that outcome and connect to the why- the "real" purpose of the goal. And find comfort in knowing that we will accomplish our goals. Our desires will manifest, but instead of planning the "how" we become open to options and instead of demanding a due date, we open ourselves up to flexibility and faith knowing that it will happen when the time is right. Doing this releases us from the desperate vibe that repels abundance and connects us to the high vibe of positive expectation. And when we do this, we learn that we can be successful, no matter what happens or when it happens- and we can have that desired feeling- whether or not the actual goal is achieved as we originally expected. When we detach from the outcome, we experience success as a journey and not a destination. You've got a business to grow, clients to attract and money to make. That starts with getting intentional about your business goals and your mindset! Let's Chat More If you want to dig a little deeper and set some serious intentions for the new year, I'm leading an intention-setting workshop next week. It's LIVE and it's completely free- my gift to you. Because I love you and want you to be successful this year! Head on over to the Facebook Group and RSVP for the event. [bctt tweet="You've got a business to grow, clients to attract and money to make. That starts with getting intentional about your business goals and your mindset!." username="tonyarineer"] KEY TAKEAWAYS 1:01 Once you see how well a hack works you will end up repeating it or continuously using it until it is no longer temporary and it is your new normal. 4:58 This goal defines you. Accomplishing this goal means something. It means that you will have reached success, you will be an accomplished person. You will be something. You will be enough. That's what you tell yourself. 7:05 Your mind doesn't know the difference between it happening in real time or imaginary time. We've talked about this where you can visualize something coming true and it feels like it's happening now. So the simple fact of visualizing your goals way in advance feels really good. You're starting to feel accomplished already and you haven't taken action yet. 9:14 If you feel like you failed after a day of not getting through your to do list, how does it feel at the end of the year? 18:10 We take so much on and if people aren't buying or if the people right in front of us in our immediate space aren't totally into our product or service or offer at this exact time, we internalize it. We're like "oh that must mean something about us. That must mean I'm not valuable or not enough. It must mean they don't like me, they don't like what I'm offering." But there are so many other variables and they aren't about you at all. 21:41 Detachment is difficult. It is a practice. It is an art form and I want you to practice it. I want you to get better at it because it makes life and business so much easier. Oh my gosh, does the abundance flow in. 22:11 Open yourself up to the opportunities that the universe is constantly sending you. You don't even see them. They're in your peripheral vision. 28: 10 With intentions, we detach from the outcome and attach to the why - the real purpose of the goal - and find comfort in knowing that we will accomplish those goals. Our desires will manifest, but instead of planning the how we become open to options. Instead of demanding a due date, we open ourselves to flexibility and faith knowing that it will happen when the time is right. 29:54 When we detach ourselves from the outcome, we experience success as a journey and not a destination.

How do you eat a vegan keto diet and will it prevent the top chronic diseases from happening? Hi Jimmy, Will and Carrie, Thank you for this special vegan keto episode. My husband and I have adopted a traditional ketogenic approach and have seen improvements in our body composition. I have noticed greatly improved energy, mental performance, and psychological health. In fact, last night I played two hours of volleyball and had more energy than the much younger fitness coach on my team! My mom is 67 years old, semi-retired, and is struggling with unplanned weight gain, muscle loss, low energy, a weak immune system, slow healing, brain fog, moodiness, and mental function issues that seem to be linked to elevated blood sugar levels. We've been talking about keto for about a year, but she is afraid to try it because she is a vegetarian (that includes no dairy except butter, but she will eat eggs). She thinks there won't be anything left for her to eat if she cuts carbs. She has been eating high-carb, low-fat, and low protein. To her, a can of black beans is enough protein for one day and a teaspoon or two butter is plenty of fat. She has been trying to get omega-3 fats from flaxseed and canola oil. She is excited about hearing what you have to share on this podcast and wants to know the answers to the following questions. - How do you prepare quick and easy vegan keto recipes? - How do you prevent hunger while eating vegan keto? - Where do you get your fat intake from on vegan keto? - What omega-3 sources of fat are there to consume? - How much protein is appropriate on a vegan keto diet and how do you get it? Tofu? - Will supplements be necessary to get all the vitamins in my vegan keto diet? - Dementia, heart disease, and cancer prevention are my goals with going vegan keto? Will this diet help me reach these goals? Thank you so much for your help answering these questions for my mom! Vanessa “In the next four or five years this is what everybody is going to be talking about. Educate yourself now so that you can make an informed decision about your health.” – Jimmy Moore 2. What are your thoughts on protein combining, getting complete proteins, and incorporating pea protein to get a better amino acid profile on a vegan keto approach? Hi guys, I’m a vegan keto dieter and would love to hear Dr. Carrie’s views on essential amino acids eating this way. Protein combining is a contentious issue in the vegan world and I’ve found through my own research tracking my macronutrients that vegan keto IS limited by lysine and to some extent methionine as we mostly cut out the legumes. I’d love to hear her views on the subject of protein combining, how to get complete proteins on a vegan keto diet, and incorporating things like pea protein to help achieve a full amino acid profile for people who can’t or don’t consume soy. Thanks! Renee Join The Keto Clarity Club For $1 Blood Ketone Test Strips! 3. What are you responses to these questions from a practicing physician? As a practicing physician, I’d love to have the answers to the following questions regarding a vegan keto nutritional approach: - What fats do you eat? - What carbs do you permit? - Are there any whole grains? - Any beans? - Any fasting involved? - Supplements you take? - Do you monitor ketosis? How? - What exercise do you recommend when doing vegan keto? - How many days a month do you recommend eating vegan keto? Or is it constant? - Do you ever go off vegan keto and return to a plant-based lower-fat diet to cycle out of ketosis? - Are there any concerns about osteoporosis from acidosis?

How do you prevent nutrient deficiencies on a vegan keto diet? What impact would incorporating an occasional vegan keto day into my regular ketogenic diet? Hi Jimmy, Dr. Cole, and Dr. Diulus, How does someone eating a vegan keto diet get their Vitamin B12? I thought Vitamin B12 could only be found in animal-based foods. And what about other nutrients that only come from animals such as dietary cholesterol? If a vegan keto diet is a sustainable way of fueling the human body over the long-term, then does that mean you HAVE to take supplements in order to remain healthy? I’m sure your body can “get by” for a while, but at what cost later on...I’m very interested in what impact implementing vegan keto days into my regular ketogenic diet. Thank you for your help, Patricia BECOME A NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER Sign up by February 2018 for the 9-month program NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship 5. Why do some people find it difficult to lose weight on a vegan keto diet as compared with a meat-based ketogenic nutrition plan? Hey guys, I'm on a vegan keto group on Facebook and I often read about people gaining weight instead of losing it while eating that way. Why does it seem more difficult for some people to lose weight while eating vegan keto than meat-eating keto dieters? Is there something in the animal-based foods that contributes to easier weight loss success that is lacking in a vegan keto diet? Thanks for helping me understand this better.

Introduction and emergence of Harmonium in India and when and how did it come to India or Indian classical music? How can a technically wrong instrument which was banned, be more popular? What exactly is the problem in a Harmonium or Piano? How is harmony and melody connected in Indian classical music? Were you the 1st to actually think of creating a 22 Shruti Harmonium? Can one develop an ear to be able to listen to 22 Shrutis? If yes, How? What could be the process of learning and unlearning the existing Western Shruti structure? If 2 people are singing (For e.g.: Rajan and Sajan Mishra or Mallikarjun and his son) Both sing the exact shadja, but still, we can identify 2 different people on stage. How is that possible? What else have you come up with, in your research on 22 Shrutis ? What is the message would you like to leave to the listeners about 22 Shrutis ?

Yesterday, I was getting my haircut. I'm in the military. I'm in the Reserves. I'm in the Army. They like your hair cut a certain way. It's funny because when my hair feels long, everyone else, it's barely noticeable now but it's thinning out or whatever. It's funny though because I go get my haircut at the same spot every three weeks. The same girl has been cutting my hair. It's funny. I'm such a ClickFunnels evangelist... It fully changed my life. I just always wanted to be able to change others, too, so I tell everyone about it. I imagine a lot of you guys are the same way. You guys have messaged me personally, some of you and talked about that a little bit. I'll tell people at the grocery store. I'll tell people all over the place. I've been telling the lady that cuts my hair, she's actually young. She's quite a bit younger than I am. I'd say probably 21 and she wasn't that much younger. You guys are really going to laugh that I just said that but anyway, she doesn't really know what she wants to do with her life. I kept on telling her... It's been two times in a row now. I'm like, "Hey. Seriously, if you want to shortcut all the things that I had to go through to learn what I do, it took like five years, read the book, Dotcom Secrets and then go to ClickFunnels and watch the Funnel Hacks web class. If you do those three things," that's what I tell everyone to do. "If you're just getting started inside the ClickFunnels, those are the kinds of things you need to be doing." I spent so much time, so many hours. I can't tell you. I don't know why but I actually listen to a lot of podcasts and audio books while I'm at the gym. I have been doing that for a very, very long time. Staying up super late reading like crazy on our couch for years, and years and years, just studying my guts out. I remember, I think I told you guys a story also that there came this point where I'm just like, "Okay. I just found ClickFunnels. I've been working my guts out doing stuff with Word Press and it was not that good. It's super rough, very, very hard." I'm not a coder or a programmer. I'm self-taught on some things now but especially back in the day, I had no idea how to code or program or anything. I remember looking at myself in the mirror and I was just telling a friend this story actually. I remember looking myself in the mirror and thinking, realizing, "Oh, my gosh. ClickFunnels is literally going to change the world. It's going to change the way everything is done, especially online." It's been doing that... We've been growing like crazy. I think there's 24,000 members now. Two weeks ago, there's 21,000. It's exploding. It's been going nuts. It's very, very exciting. Very exciting time for all of you guys as well. If you're not using it, please go get the trial. There's a free trial link that I have. It's at salesfunnelbroker.com/resources. Go to the resources page. Anyway, I remember looking myself in the mirror though and slamming down on the counter being like, "I am going to get freaking good at building funnels. I'm going to get good. I'm going to be the best in the world. I want to go out and be the best." I remember making that decision and looking myself right in the eyes and realizing that I was going to do whatever it took to get good and to get amazing and then get to a place where I've got enough assets out online that I wouldn't need to work for anyone else. That's totally what happened... I work for Russell Brunson because it's fun. I don't know. It's just cool to be here. It's fun to be on the cusp of everything that's going on. I'm certainly a ClickFunnels evangelist obviously. I want you guys to be doing the same thing. To be slamming down the fist, go seriously do this. I don't know if it's cheesy or whatever but for me, when I get ticked off or pissed off about something, when I get intense about stuff, that's when stuff in my life starts to change. That's when stuff starts to go well the way I want it to... If I'm like, "Oh, yeah. No. I'm going to do that. Yeah. I'm going to do that," and it's this future plan thing, it doesn't ever really happen. If I start to look at myself in the mirror though and I have to get a little bit pissed off and sometimes, what's nice about that is that the first few times I tried something, I fail. I fail like crazy. I fail a lot. I fail often and fail hard... It pisses me off more so I just push harder and ask more people and research more and learn and learn and try and launch, and launch and launch and launch. Finally, I don't know what really shifted but it's about a year and a half ago, things started changing and suddenly, all this stuff started making money. I was like, "I think I figured it out." Anyway, it came down to this point of me trying to get good at it. One of the reasons I wanted to talk about this is that I've had a shocking number of you come to me especially in the last two weeks and say, "Steve, please teach me how to be a funnel builder. Please teach me." I got some cool that I'm working out in the background for all you guys who've been asking that. You guys have been able to come funnel hack with me for a little while now. I'm not ready to announce that yet... That's a little sneak peek of what I'm thinking. It'd be cool but enough of you guys have asked that that I just wanted to point that out that there came this point where you got to get pissed off about it. Don't be bashful trying to be the best in the world about it. Meaning, that's not going to happen on accident... You have to do that stuff on purpose. Just build. I told you these are really the four things I tell everybody to do who is going to get into ClickFunnels. Number one. Read Dotcom Secrets. If you don't like reading, listen to the audio book but look at all the pictures and the graphs. No joke. That book will shortcut so many things that I had to go through to learn what I have. Okay. I'm talking years of stuff. All right. It is the most influential business book and personal development book that I have ever read. It's very, very, very tactile, very, very how-to. I don't know how else to give a great promo for it. In the blog post with this podcast, the blog at salesfunnelbroker.com, I will include links to all these products. You guys want to go search them out, okay. Yes. They're affiliate links. Get over it. I'm just saying. Anyway, copy me though on that. Okay. That's the reason I do this stuff. Yes, I put you through affiliate links. Yes, I send you guys email promos. Yes, I do it but look at what I'm doing because it works. Okay. Anyway, back to the list. Number one, you've got to read Dotcom Secrets. Number two. Please go watch the Funnel Hacks web class. Obviously, I'll put those links in there as well. Anyway, go watch the Funnel Hacks web class. It will show you what it means to be a funnel hacker. That's why you have to watch that. Number three. Go get the ClickFunnels trial. Number four. Once you have the trial, go find the industry and the business that you would love to have the most and go funnel hack them. If you watch the web class, you'll know what that means. Copy them. Okay. This is what I tell everyone else. Don't model right at first. First, you just got to learn how to use ClickFunnels. All right. Go find a funnel of the funnel that you wish you had and I want you to copy it. Literally, everything pixel by pixel, try and recreate everything you can inside of ClickFunnels. That's cool. I told you guys the story once. I definitely did that on a date once with my wife. I cloned out the home page of the email company, GetResponse. Anyway, I was just seeing how it worked. Pixel per pixel, no joke, I cloned out that entire home page. I was like, "Oh, my gosh." That's about the same time I hit the counter and I was like, "I'm going to get the best in the world at this." Anyway, those are the four things. Go do that. Now, how this ties back in the haircut, I've been teaching these things to the person that cuts my hair. I was like, "So, go do this. Go do this." She's got divorced with her husband and she's like, "Everything sucks, you know." She's in a dark place or whatever. She's like, "I wish I had more money. I could do some more things." I was like, "Here's how you do it. Here's how you do it." Okay. That was two or three times ago. She cut my hair. That's probably two months ago, three months ago. I came back. She hadn't done anything. She's like, "What was the name of that book again?" I was like, "Oh, crap." If you don't read the book, I know you're not serious. That's seriously one of the ways I vet people. That's the thing that Russell and I have figured out as well. If you suck at ClickFunnels, usually it's because you have never read the book. Anyway, she was just like, "No. I haven't read it." I came back again. She's like, "Oh, I got the book. I just haven't read it." This last time, she's like, "I've got the book. I'd actually downloaded it this time. I just haven't read it. I don't know. I just like to go home. I don't want to have to learn anything." She seriously said this. I was like, "Oh, you are not my target. I'm going to give up on you." She's like, "Yeah. I just don't want to learn anything. I come home after work. I just want to honestly, I want to party and I want to just not do anything when I go home." I was like, "Oh, okay. Really? Oh, my gosh." Please don't be any people like that. Gosh... There's something almost sanctifying to this entrepreneurial struggle that you and I are involved in. You know what I mean? It's very cleansing. It shows you. I remember Robert Kiyosaki said once. He said, "One of the reasons why business is so amazing is that," especially entrepreneurship, "Is that if you go and you decide to be an entrepreneur and you're pushing really hard," he's written those books. Obviously, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, The Cashflow Quadrant, those two are my favorite from him. Some of the others were really a little fluffy for me. I like the tactile stuff. He wrote in there that as you start to get down and you start on this entrepreneurial journey, it's exciting at first. Very exciting. "Oh, I'm going to be an entrepreneur." You beat your chest a little and go, "Yes. I'm going to go do this. I'll rule the world." Then you go like, "Wait. What really does that mean?" One of the first hurdles you're going to hit when you start moving as an entrepreneur, this is what he teaches is that you're going to experience some serious personal character flaws. Business will do this thing that it gets you. It takes you and it gets you. It shows you. "Hey, Steve. Here's what you suck at. Oh, did you know that you are a night owl?" "Oh, actually, I didn't know that." Business and the pressure, the good pressure but the pressure of entrepreneurship, "Wow. You showed that to me. I have a hard time sleeping sometimes if I'm trying to get something to work and it's not working yet." You know what I mean? "Oh, wow. I get a little bit edgy when I got X, Y and Z on my plate. Wow. Character flaw exposed, right?" You all see what I'm saying? For this lady, for this girl who is cutting my hair, she's having the exact same things happening to her and I'm watching it. It's like, "Wow. That's the first hurdle she has to overcome. Yes. I have to learn stuff to actually be successful." You know what I mean? You can think back and go, "Wow. What are the character flaws that have been exposed to me while I'm trying to build sales funnels?" What are these character flaws? What are the things right now? I'll tell you right now, like I said, I get so excited about the things that I want to go build and put out there. I'm building 20 funnels right now. It's almost 20 funnels and I got to get them done in the next two weeks. This here on the side just personally, okay. It's a crap ton of funnels. Anyway, here's one of my character flaws. I'm going to be vulnerable here for a second. I love to lift weights but when I get excited about stuff, the thought of spending an entire hour to an hour and a half in a gym, not being able to build cripples me. I don't go. There's times where, maybe three or four weeks and I don't go to the gym. I've actually told my wife, I think this last Sunday. I leaned over and I was like, "Hey, look." Sure. I'm out of shape because I was 6% body fat when I was in college and jacked and ripped and competing and winning in sprint triathlons and things like that. It was awesome but I was like, "Man, I feel heavy. I don't feel good. I'm loving what I'm doing professionally but I've got to have my life balanced. I need to go start lifting more." I've been lifting in the mornings. It's been great. For you, you guys are going to have the same things that happened to you. You're going to have your character flaws exposed... "Wow. I didn't know I was shy in those situations. Wow." Just watch your responses as you try to push forward and get things done and you'll start to notice and start to see the character flaws will pop up. Now there's going to be two things that happen when that happens to you. Number one, you're going to feel some stress and pressure. Number one... Your inclination is to shy away and go, "Oh," and this is one of the reasons why a lot of people don't get into entrepreneurship or try to make extra money on the side or even this little lifestyle so they can do things like take a cruise or whatever. They'll say, "Oh, I'm not X. I'm not smart enough. I don't have enough energy. I'm not good on camera. I can't do a podcast like Steve." It's like, "I was scared to death to launch this podcast. I barely did it because I was so scared that you guys weren't going to like it." You know what I mean? There's been overwhelming response. You guys have liked it, which has been great and it fuels it. I'm realizing and you guys need to know this also, you are better than you think you are. You are already. If you're already pursuing down this path, you're already owning and having and possessing knowledge of something that's going to make you better than the next guy. Okay. I mean, professionally, competition wise., free market capitalism wise. Anyway, that's the whole thing. These are all the thoughts that started just sprinting through my head as this girl's cutting my hair. I was like, "Gosh. Her character flaws are being exposed there. She's not doing the four things that I told her to do." Until she faces that character flaw, some character flaws we feel are roadblocks. These was the two things I was going to go into a second ago. Some of them are roadblocks meaning you will not progress unless you get over it. Some of them are just hindrances. They're annoyances. "Oh, yeah. I'm tired pretty much all the time because I'm a night owl. Oh, yeah. I'm not going to the gym like I want to." You know what I mean? As you push forward business, remember that business is all about pushing out your differences and exposing your strengths. Not your weaknesses, so the temptation will be to confuse your business activities with your character flaws. Don't do that... If you start to go through, "Well, I'm really, really bad at getting up early so I'm probably not going to do this business." Like, "No, no, no, no. What are you actually selling? What's the offer? What's the product?" Remember, that's separate... Think of the business as a separate entity than your own character flaws and body. You're trying to grow this thing up like it's a child. You're trying to raise it. Does that make sense? Anyway, those are the four things that I wanted to go over that if you want to get good at funnel hacking and funnel building, you got to go through. Read the book... Watch the web class... Get ClickFunnels trial and then go clone one of your competitors... Number two. Understand that as you go down this, you have character flaws that are being exposed to you right now. They're blowing up in your face. They're saying things like, "Hey. You can't do this." Sometimes, they come in the form of others. Friends and family can come out. I certainly had a lot of friends, they've said some things like that, like, "Wow. It's so cute. He's Steve trying to be entrepreneur." I'm like, "Okay. Stop looking at me like I don't have a job. I have a job and I have secondary income as more than my job makes. So that's great and I'm just having fun with it." Anyway, I want you guys to know that this is all attainable to you. It's all very, very real, very real. The more real you can make it in your head and see it and catch vision of it, close your eyes. See that you are where you want to be. Work your freaking guts out... You are going to be able to get to a spot where you've got like, "Wow. I'm moving through the four things. The character flaws, I'm starting to overcome them. I'm personally growing because of business. Go figure. Oh, my gosh." You guys start to get to the spot where you got all your assets out and you go do cool stuff like take a cruise. My wife and I are going do here next week. It is our fifth year anniversary. I guess these are my little post goodie announcements. It's our five-year anniversary. We got two kids. Totally awesome and we're going to go down to Cozumel & Yucatan. We're super stoked. It's going to be a party. Anyway, what's cool about it is I know that when I come back, we will have made more money without me doing anything than we spent on the cruise, which is totally true. That's the goal and that's the reality is that I got a few more funnels to finish in the next few days. I'm launching and pushing them over to somebody else for them to do the final polish. We got a huge traffic source that we're dumping into. I know, I just know. I've done this enough times now to know that it's going to sell a crap ton and we're going to make more money on this being away than being here. Anyway, that's the beauty, guys. That's what I want you guys to go for. Please tell me when you go take that first victory vacation, when you go take that first victory, whatever that is for you guys. My wife and I have not just gone on a vacation in five years so this is going to be great. The other cool thing that I wanted to tell you guys that I'm doing and please don't think I'm being self-centered on this. I'm just excited about it... I barely graduated high school. I was an idiot. I seriously got straight D's every semester for Algebra, for Spanish, for Science. No joke. I know what it was. I just wasn't turned on yet. I remember this point where the lights turned on. It was post high school. Anyway, I barely graduated high school and what's funny is that I was highly involved in extra curricular activities. I was in choir. I was in a lot of theater. I was head editor for a yearbook. I got three state awards for my layout designs, which is great. I was really involved in that kind of crap but the scholastic stuff, I really wasn't good at. What's cracking me up right now is that you guys ever heard of DECA, the DECA program? DECA has invited me to go speak at their regional conference with 3,000 kids tomorrow. I'm flying out in, I didn't even pack yet. I'm literally leaving for the airport in 30 minutes. I'm at the office. I got to finish something then I got to go throw some clothes together quick and then I got to go. Anyway, that's exciting and I'm literally going to teach 3,000 kids how to funnel hack. The competition that they've got going on is that whoever can raise the most money gets a scholarship to college. They're going to use funnels to raise that money. I'm going teach them how to do that. It's very, very exciting. I'm going to finish writing a speech on the airplane. I got to finish sending out. There's a few promos I want you guys to see that I am sending. Just note that they're promos. Yeah, whatever, for some tools that I use that really speed up a lot of stuff. I'll let you guys, you're welcome. Anyway, pay attention to your email... You guys, I just want you to know that I think you're all awesome. If you need a pre-built funnel, definitely go to salesfunnelbroker.com. You can check out the free funnel section there.

How/What the new incoming Defense secretary MUST do.
We are beginning a new series on the Epistle to the Galatians. It is a letter written by the Apostle Paul around 50 AD. It is addressed to the people in the Roman Province of Galatia (modern day Turkey). Galatians is best known for the clear presentation of the Gospel it presents and I have entitled this series: The Gospel, Pure and Simple. In Galatians Paul addresses the first doctrinal crisis of the Early Church. After he had visited Galatia and established churches in many of its cities, teachers claiming to be from the Lord's half-brother James had begun to teach the Galatians that they must follow the Old Testament rules regarding the ceremonial law in order to be truly saved. For example, circumcision and dietary regulations were stressed as just as important as faith in Jesus as their savior. In other words the Christians in Galatia were being told that they must also be Jewish. Paul was very upset with this teaching because he recognized that it would make Christianity simply another sect of Judaism. In fact, this understanding of "the faith" would in fact negate the Gospel. Paul defends his theology in Galatians but he is also forced to defend his apostleship and his character since the "Judaizers" (false teachers) attacked his integrity in order to undermine his teaching of the Gospel. Overall, Galatians reminds us of the tremendous freedom we have in Christ. Freedom that comes from the inside out and freedom that is not imposed by manmade rules and regulations. The letter also reminds us of how easy it is to add to the Gospel things that we think are important but yet things that in fact negate the power of the Gospel to transform lives. Questions for Discussion: 1. Slide 2. Can you think of world religions that end up controlling people? Think of some examples. Why do people use religion this way? 2. Slide 3-5. What make people most vulnerable to false teaching? What did the Galatians lack that we have today that helps us avoid such pitfalls? What do you think of the accusation that the Gospel leads to immorality? Does this seem like a strange thing to believe? Why? 3. Slide 11. Why is Paul so upset with the Galatians? 4. Slide 12-13. Why does Paul say he was sent by God? What incident is he referring to? (Acts 9:1-5) 5. Slide 14-18. Why is Paul so adamant? What is at stake here? Discuss this statement: "Grace plus anything, is not the Gospel." 6. Slide 19-20 How do we stop from wrapping the Gospel in our cultural garb? Can we prevent that from happening? How? What are the cultural issues that you face when sharing the Gospel in your context?

Episode 21 with guest Federick van Johnson on the Digital Convergence Podcast by 16x9 Cinema with host Carl Olson - a visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Featuring: Frederick van Johnson - Photographer, Host of This Week in Photography (TWiP) Frederick van Johnson, an accomplished photographer, marketing expert, and host of the popular This Week in Photography (TWiP) podcast graciously sits down (via Skype) and talks with me in this episode of the Digital Convergence podcast. Frederick and I discuss the challenges today's photographers have in marketing their work and services. To help photographers market their services, Frederick is launching a new company: MediaBytes.com. Other topics include things to consider before taking on a career in photography.
