Download the Grant Writer FAST Focus Workbook at www.teresahuff.com/fastfocus. Who Am I to Be a Grant Writer?  Welcome back to this special Podcast Power Series, Grant Writer FAST Focus. This week I'm going to help you develop the confidence and clarity you need to start your grant writing career. Should You Try Grant Writing? Many new grant writers are paralyzed by the question, “Where do I start?” Even if they have some nonprofit experience, they still battle imposter syndrome.  However, I talk to so many talented people with great experience who are passionate about their nonprofit work. /some have even written grants before – and they still don't think they have what it takes to be a grant writer. They think, “Who would want to work with me? Should I just work for free to get some experience? What do I have to offer a nonprofit?” Let's Change the Script I want to challenge you to shift your mindset around this.  You probably already have a lot of valuable skills that can really help your community. You have some God-given abilities that make you unique. You need to show up with those. But until you realize that and get out of your own way, you won't be able to use them effectively. Let's change that. The world needs you out there making a difference. The Fast Track to Grant Writer group program and my 1:1 coaching go deep into this, and this is exactly what I help my clients with. I created this free power series for you on the podcast to help you get started and, more than anything, believe that it IS possible for you and to see how you can start to put those pieces together. Hang with me this week, because over the next 4 days we're going to talk about the mindset shifts AND practical strategies you need to believe that you can be a good grant writer. How Is This Different? Lots of programs tell you how to write a grant. Lots of programs tell you how to set up a business. That's where people get stuck, because most programs don't teach you how to write the grant AND set up your grant writing career for success. That's how it's different when we work together, and that's exactly what we do inside the Fast Track to Grant Writer. Fast Track Alum Lisa said, "I appreciate the ways you are showing us we can help non-profits. There are many nuggets we can incorporate into consulting that I hadn't previously considered." My Challenge to You If you're struggling with the question of, "Who am I to be a grant writer?" I want you to flip the script and instead ask, “Who am I NOT to be a grant writer?” Todd Henry, host of The Accidental Creative Podcast, said, “The key is to push forward, not allow yourself to get stuck, so your body of work reflects your best attributes, not your biggest fears.” Grant Writer Power Series Be on the lookout this week, because every day for 4 days in a row a new episode in this power series is going to drop. These episodes are short because I don't want you to get caught up in the weeds of self-doubt. I'm calling it a power series for a reason - instead of overwhelming you with a bunch of information, I want you to focus on one powerful action step each day.

I had spoken to one of my students and she said, "today is probably the last week I'll be learning with you." I said, "oh, hell no. What do I NOT know?"Over the next 10 minutes, and to my amazement, I sold her a massive package to continued studying English without the middle-man. The middle-man boosted packages for online learning -- not once, not twice -- but THREE TIMES! In the midst of an ongoing pandemic, he literally shot at his own foot and I profited from it.

Luke 10:25–42 I am going to ask you to suspend reason with me for a few minutes this morning. Imagine with me a fantastic scenario. One night, a cold night in Kansas in the middle of a global pandemic and a mediocre season of KU basketball, you fall asleep in your own bed. But when you wake up, something is very different. You have somehow become James, son of Alphaeus, one of the Apostles of Jesus. It obviously takes you a little while to figure this out, but you recognize from Sunday school this name that people keep calling you, you can see that you are one of twelve followers of a Teacher that sure acts a lot like Jesus, and can tell that somehow you have been transported into the body of a man in First Century Palestine. Inexplicably, you have become him. Somehow, you can understand the Aramaic that they are speaking. You look like James instead of yourself. And find yourself following in the footsteps of the most important man who ever walked the earth. It’s like Quantum Leap meets the Gospel of Luke! You know that they would never believe you if you told them you were from the future, so you just follow along. Biblical scholars would envy your position, as they don’t really know much about James. They know it is not the famous James, brother of John, who was on top of the mountain of Transfiguration with Peter and Jesus. Some wonder if it is the James who wrote the book of the Bible with that name, but most scholars doubt it. Others wonder if it was James, the brother of Jesus, though there is no clear indicator of this. All we know is that he was one of the Apostles, but we don’t know anything more about his ministry, his life after Jesus, or what he thought about Jesus’ ministry. And all you know for sure is that you have somehow become him! You have never been so thankful that you paid attention in Sunday school! From your best guess, you are somewhere near the border of Jewish territory and Samaritan territory. It is hard for you to physically tell the difference, but you know that Jews and Samaritans don’t like each other much. The cold icy stares that they give you make it clear you are not welcome: everyone you ask for hospitality is like a brick wall…no one wants to help. The other Apostles of Jesus return the favor with angry stares of their own. And plenty of muttering under their breath; you hear one say, “I wish Jesus would have let us rain fire down from heaven on their heads. That would have taught them!” You don’t know for sure who is who, but you think it might be wise to avoid that guy. From the things that Jesus says combined with your knowledge of the Gospels, you start to piece together where you are in the timeline of Jesus’ ministry. You remember from church the phrase that Luke repeats: “he turned his face toward Jerusalem,” preparing for and indeed walking right into the death that he knew was coming. You are travelling from town to town; Jesus keeps talking about his death; and everyone keeps talking about what will happen once they get to Jerusalem. You know what is coming. You follow the Apostles as Jesus finds a village and begins to teach. Along the edges of crowd as Jesus teaches, you can see a man inch closer. He is clearly a man of authority and notoriety, as he is dressed in fine robes and others step aside in reverence as he comes closer. All of a sudden, he speaks, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” You can tell that this is the expert in the law who was trying to test Jesus…you can tell by his demeanor and his tone of voice that he is trying stump him instead of actually learn from him. Their exchange at first looks like it might be brief. Jesus responds, showing little interest, “you know the law…what does it say?” This learned law-expert responds, as if he were reading from a textbook, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus’ response is short: “You have given the right answer. Do this and you will live.” But that is when things get tense. “But who is my neighbor?” Again, you can tell by the tone of his voice, that he is trying to catch Jesus with an unanswerable question. You have read about this exchange a thousand times since you were a child, but seeing it unfold, you realize what he is really asking, “who is NOT my neighbor? Where are the allowable limits of love?” Thinking he had Jesus stuck, he smiled just a bit, smug as can be. Jesus, who seemed almost uninterested in the conversation until that point, seems to light up in that moment. He turns to face the man, but directs his attention to the whole crowd. This is a teacher in his element, and the expert on the law has no idea what is coming. Jesus tells a story. Again, you have heard the story called “The Good Samaritan” a thousand times, but hearing it told for the first time by Jesus gives you cold chills. The priest walked by on the other side. The Levite walked by on the other side. Standing here watching Jesus tell this story, the implication is clear: these two men were exactly like the expert in the law who had tested Jesus. They were authoritative. They were knowledgeable. And they set very clear limits on who would be their neighbor. In that moment, you remember a Scriptural commentator by the name of Amy-Jill Levine who compared this story to the Three Stooges. The pattern of this sort of story was meant to be predictable. “First came Moe…then came Larry…then came…” Of course, Curly. And, indeed, you watch the people around you predict who the third person would be. They guess that it would be a regular, ordinary Joe…a Jew just like them. And as you stand there as James son of Alphaeus, you can see them pointing at the law expert and laughing, know that he was the badguy, but they were going to be the hero! But you remember in that moment the rest of Dr. Levine’s words: she wrote that Jesus’ story would have sounded like “First came Moe…then came Larry…then came Osama bin Laden.” A mortal enemy. Not someone like them, but someone that they muttered under their breath about, and wished they could rain down fire upon. And you can hear the gasp in the crowd, as soon as they hear the word Samaritan. By the end, not only is the law expert nearly speechless, but so is the entire crowd. Jesus’ point is clear: love everyone…no questions asked. There are no limits to neighbor love. The person in front of you—whoever they are—is a child of God. The crowd disperses, and Jesus leads you and the other eleven onto the next town. The other Apostles seem to struggle with the words that Jesus has preached. This is too much. Surely Jesus doesn’t mean that loving their neighbor would mean loving Samaritans. That same Apostle who was ready to rain down fire on the heads of the Samaritans was particularly angry…Jesus can’t really mean what he seemed to say. Surely hospitality has its limits! Surely love cannot extend that far! The confusion and the anger continued to simmer along the way, until they came to a home where Jesus announced they would stay the night. Two women were working to prepare the home for such a large crowd of guests, and you realized at once that this was the home of sisters Mary and Martha. Those sermons and Sunday school lessons you listened to over the years sure are coming in handy! As you all began to make yourself at home, some of the Apostles start to talk to Jesus about what had happened during the day. Like the teacher of the law, they try to corner him on what he actually meant. Again, you get cold chills when you start to see one of the two sisters quietly slip into the corner of the room and begin to listen. Mary has chosen to sit at the feet of Jesus, while Martha continues her work! As you watch her, you see her attention as a gift that she gives Jesus by stopping what she is doing and giving him her undivided attention. It strikes you as gracious hospitality, just in a different form than Martha. But Martha, looking in from her work, seems embarrassed…like Mary shouldn’t be there learning with the men…like she doesn’t know her place. As Jesus continues teaching, you are nervous with anticipation. When is Jesus going to stand up and go into the kitchen, and yell at Martha for working so hard? When is he going to laud Mary and rebuke Martha for doing it all wrong? Again, while you have heard the story a thousand times, you are surprised that Jesus doesn’t really come after Martha, until she comes after him, and complains that her sister is not helping. Like before, Jesus gets a light in his eyes that is the opportunity that all teachers wait for…that teachable moment. He turns to Martha, but again directs his words to all those in the room: “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.” And there, in that moment, you have an epiphany. It wasn’t until you lived it all in one day that you began to understand what the powerful Teacher Jesus was up to in these two encounters. You realize that both of the law expert and Martha took a wrong turn by trying to justify themselves. When the law expert came to Jesus, Jesus didn’t make a big deal about it, and he actually agreed with his assessment about the greatest commandments. Jesus was ready to move on…UNTIL the lawyer tried to set the limits of hospitality. “Who is NOT my neighbor? Who do I NOT have to love?” Likewise, Jesus didn’t make a big deal about Martha, calling her in from the kitchen and dressing her down. He kept teaching…UNTIL Martha tried to set the limits of hospitality. “Mary isn’t doing hospitality the right way…tell her to do it my way!” In watching Jesus’ interaction with both of these individuals, you can see that he is not angry at first with what they are doing or how they are doing it. What catches his attention is when they come with a need to be justified…with arrogant and closed hearts: “you have to do it my way.” An expert in the Torah who doesn’t understand God’s command to include everyone…and a queen of hospitality who refuses to offer grace…have taken a wrong turn somewhere. And their words become for Jesus teaching moments. At least, for you they are. You think about how many times you wished fire down on your enemies, how many times you tried to justify yourself, how many times you put limits on hospitality and grace and love. As you stand there, inhabiting the body of a man in First Century Palestine listening to the words of Jesus, your mind goes back to the book on your nightstand in cold 21st Century Kansas, by a woman named Christine Valters-Paintner. Before you fell asleep, you were reading her chapter on humility, and you found it particularly moving. Valters-Paintner writes about what true humility is not. It is not an “aw-shucks” putting down of oneself in order to fish for compliments. That is a little bit of what the law expert did, trying to justify himself before Jesus even though he thought he had all of the answers. And true humility is not low self-worth, believing that you not are worthwhile unless you accomplish a certain number of tasks in the “right” way. True humility is not misguided perfectionism. Again, Valters-Paintner suggests that this is a misguided understanding of humility that through the centuries has caused many Christians, especially women, to believe that they must be subject and submissive to the men in their lives, doing what they demand. And perhaps that is part of the struggle that Martha felt, embarrassed that Mary wasn’t accomplishing her tasks. But Jesus showed them another way. You remember reading Valters-Paintner’s suggestion that once you set aside these misguided examples of humility, you can find a true Christ-like humbleness. A true clarity of understanding of self, as God would see us. An honest evaluation of strengths and weaknesses. Our gifts, as well as our “limitations and our woundedness.” She points out that the word humility is tied to the word “humus,” or earth. Humility represents a groundedness, a rootedness. As you lie on the ground that night, trying to fall asleep, Valters-Paintner’s words come back to you, and you see their wisdom echoed in the words of Jesus. In fact, as your mind is spinning, and you feel the hard earth beneath you, it comes in a rush of revelation that this is what Jesus seems to be teaching his Apostles on this one momentous day in the life of his ministry. Or, at the very least, this is what Jesus has taught you today. Humility. Grace. Love…of God and of neighbor. Love everyone…no questions asked. You fall asleep that night, as James son of Alphaeus. You don’t know if this was all a dream or a vision, or if this was really happening. Your head is spinning. You have learned so much…in just one day with Jesus! What will tomorrow bring? Where will you even wake up? Back home in Kansas, or on the road to Jerusalem with Jesus? Either way, you know you will live your life differently. For you have learned again what it means to be a humble follower of Jesus.

We are breaking this one into two pieces too...there are two very distinct ideas that I want to really focus on for a full day at a time. The first is this idea of ‘the path', the idea that both wisdom AND foolishness are paths that we go down. Typically, wisdom is had by a single decision, and neither is foolishness. We can make a wise choice in the moment, or a foolish one, granted, but living in wisdom is making wise choices systematically, repeatedly, and as a course of routine. Foolishness is the same...it is repeatedly making unwise choices as we move through life. It is the ability to weave God into our daily life, making choices in a manner where we routinely pause and as that question we've been discussing, “What's the wise thing to do?”, it is not making every decision on impulse, but instead asking ourselves what we thing God might say to us in this situation. In many ways, wisdom is a skill to cultivated in that it is gained with intentionality and practice. Why is it so hard then? I think one thing that makes wisdom and living in wisdom illusive is this idea of compounding. As a parallel, think about the way money compounds when saved and invested. Each day's interest earnings are almost irrelevant and unnoticable, at least at first, but over time the momentum of that compounding builds and eventually big gains are made in short periods of time. But it takes time and consistency to get there. Think about the penny saved example...you heard of this one? If you had a penny on day one, and that penny doubled on day two, and that then again doubled on day 3. Do you know how much you'd have after a week, or 2 weeks, or at the end of a month? After a week, you'd have $0.64. After 2 weeks, you'd have only $81.92. But, at 30 days, one month in, you'd have an astounding $5,300,000. That's mind-blowing. Now, in life we don't see quite that exaggerated of an outcome, but my experience has taught me that wisdom follows a similar kind of path. Things compound. It is the small, repeated, seemingly mundane decisions and actions, repeated over time, that build to create a momentum in life that we all want to have. For me, today, my question is this, “Where am I NOT experiencing positive compounding in my life?”. I will consider where I can apply the wisdom of this path principle, as pastor Andy Stanley calls it, and I will push myself to initiate a positive action and habit, just one, to which I can build on top of over time.

This episode revolves around an episode of the Order of Man Podcast that I listened to. There's a lot of great stuff in the episode, and I encourage you to check it out-link below. The Privilege Mindset. Sure, some people are born with unique opportunities that others do not have at birth. Is the expectation that I NOT capitalize/leverage those gifts that I was given so that I can make others feel better? Absolutely not. If you have gifts or advantages (even if they are "unfair") USE THEM. Just because people have something, does not always mean that you cannot have something. You are not fat, just because someone else it ripped. You are not poor, because someone else is rich. It's a great way to think about life in general. If you show me someone who is ripped (in shape) I will show you someone who does more stuff than you. This doesn't just apply to working out. Think about it in general. For this example, people are in great shape still have the same feelings everyone else does. There's days they don't feel like working out because they are tired, sore, busy, etc. But the difference between that person and others is that they suck it up and still do it. They make the decision to execute and get to work when it is much easier to do nothing. Be obsessed with visions. Picture your goals and dreams coming to fruition. Visualize what will occur and how it looks and feels when you achieve that goal. Also, look at your goals and think about the type of person who is already there. The example is owning a $26 million home. Sure, it's easy to do the math of what it takes to get there (NOT easy to earn the money to get there) but imagine what the person who is already there does. How does he live his life? What does he do when he wakes up? How does he treat his spouse? How does he treat his kids? How does he run his business? How does he lead in his community? Why do people get triggered? It's because someone else has something, and the person who is triggered because he is not willing to do the work to get it. Plain and simple.

I'm learning to start my mornings in a new, massively productive way...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Instead of always asking, "what do I need to do today?" first thing, I am now asking myself, "What should I NOT do today?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀See, effective executives (or, knowledge workers - aka, YOU) should be in a constant pursuit of efficiency. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀However, there are a few never-ending antagonists to your efficiency. They are:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One DAY at a time?? How about 10 MINUTES at a time!?! You hear it in the rooms of 12 Step programs from the minute you enter the door. One of the long-time staples of all the one liners; one day at a time. It's a great thing to throw around and we all get a good laugh, or a smile and nod when we say it to one another. But what does it really mean, and how do you use it in your daily life? We're going to break it down from one DAY at a time, to 10 MINUTES at a time. And I'll give you a step-by-step strategy to get through those moments of anxiety, cravings, and any other discomfort. Sometimes anxiety and cravings are completely overwhelming. The committee is going at you a hundred miles an hour and you can easily start to feel like you are going to lose your mind if it doesn't stop. I tell you all the time the most important thing you can do when getting sober is to make a COMMITMENT to not drinking. If you have committed yourself, 150%, then when a craving or discomfort kicks in you don't get caught up in the struggle of "am I going to drink" or "am I NOT going to drink", "should I or shouldn't I???" If you are committed then you already know you AREN'T drinking. What comes next is figuring out how to get through the uncomfortable moment- whether that is a craving, anxiety, or just a crappy mood. For me, I took things 10 minutes at a time. And that's what I'm going to show you today.

This is Jenna Kantor with healthy, wealthy and smart. I'm super excited because I have Dr. Andrew Ball here who is going to be interviewed on COVID-19. Has anyone heard of it? Anyone? Bueller, Bueller and return to performance post infection. This is such an important conversation. I'm really excited and grateful to have you on Dr. Ball. Thank you. Andrew Ball (01:26): Well, first of all, please call me Drew. And second of all, let me thank you and your listeners for having me on. Jenna Kantor (01:34): Wonderful. It's really a joy. Would you mind telling people a little bit more about yourself so they can better get acquainted with Mr. Drew? Andrew Ball (01:46): I have been doing physical therapy for, I have a 20 year history in physical therapy. I've taught for a good majority of that time. I started out in pediatrics doing what I was told was the first fellowship in pediatric physical therapy and neurodevelopment at the university of Rochester, which has since kind of turned into a PTA accredited residency program at the strong center for developmental disabilities and then evolved into doing orthopedics. I hold an MBA, PhD in health care management. I went and did a post-professional DPT, but I got to sing. None of that matters really the salient point. And I think I'm using that word correctly. But don't go with it. Go with the pertinent point is that I could be any one of your listeners who treats in outpatient orthopedics who treats in sports. Andrew Ball (02:48): My passion is working with musical athletes. I started working with guitarists. I played piano at Peabody when I was a little kid, put that down and Mmm. And ultimately I got back into music by playing guitar, by being forced to play guitar because I was working with guitarists. And at some point it's like working with a football player and never having played football or treating dancers and never having dance. There's a point where there's a level of respect from your patients. You just don't have it unless you actually have, okay, I've done the work. You can't really speak the language. So I recognized that there were two ways, one of two ways to do that. One was to begin building guitars. So I started doing that. And then ultimately one of the guys that I built a guitar for who plays guitar for Carl Palmer formerly of Emerson Lake and Palmer in Asia. Andrew Ball (03:58): Basically he told me like, this guitar is great, but you really have to learn how to play or, yeah, I mean you really are going to have to learn the language of the little things like the posture and the whole, you can talk about holding the guitar, but you know, if you're a grunge player and you're playing bass, you've got to play that guitar and you gotta play that bass guitar and your name and it doesn't matter. Cause it doesn't look cool to have it in the right, you know, proper position. And the muscle memory that these guys had been in gals have been doing, you know, since they were you know, 12 years old you know, you're not going to change that. It's like changing someone's golf swing or if you're going to change it, they have to understand that it is going to be for a greater good. Andrew Ball (04:45): Like being able to play a 60 date tour versus having shoulder pain after 30. So, I kind of weaved and wobbled through trigger point dry needling. And I also teach for my pain seminars, but that got me into working with the Jamaican Olympic track and field team. It got me into working with the Charlotte symphony and I'm one of the physical therapists for them. But ultimately I am trust like any one of your performance PTs who is interested in that population and at the same time truly truly wants to help individuals that have a hard time finding care. And so that, is that correct? Jenna Kantor (05:37): Yeah, I think that's great. I mean you could go on for a very long time and I really want to get to the point because this man clearly he is a person to learn from. He has so much information to share and I'm really happy about this topic that we're diving into with COVID-19. Let's go straight into the point COVID-19. What are the effects that it has on the body that we need to start paying attention to? Andrew Ball (05:57): Like the first things that we have to just acknowledge cause this is going to be something new to us to consider. Right. So there's a lot of things that we need to consider. The physical I'll talk about first. And the psychological, which is a piece that we don't, that certainly performance, that's a huge issue, but that's certainly not something that most PTs outside of the performance training group really, really focuses on. So I'll start out with a friend of mine who was one of the first a thousand people to be diagnosed with COVID. She was in Washington state. She was one of the first 250. She's super, super bright. She holds a PhD in aerospace engineering or aerospace engineering design. Andrew Ball (06:57): She's a little bit younger than I am. How old am I? Not quite 48 years of age. And she was, is extremely fit very outdoorsy plays an instrument. So I just want to kind of walk through what she experienced. And this could be again, any one of your listeners on days zero, we'll call it before she was diagnosed. She was skiing I believe snowboarding, but skiing and had some aches and a dry cough and fatigue and experienced something that she had never experienced before that she described as chest awareness. Now your patients and folks that you work with are very acutely aware of breath. Andrew Ball (08:06): Right? So I kind of asked her, was that what you meant? She's like, no. I felt like I had to consciously think about every inhalation and exhalation that I chose. And that was before, before a diagnosis, but that was faint. She described it as on day one, which is the day that the fever tends to rise. Not everybody has a fever. So there's variability here that she spiked a fever of 102. She had difficulty breathing day two, that worsen. She had a dry cough and we should get into the idea of a dry cough versus a wet a cough a little bit later when we talk about the physiology of this and how it differs from a pneumonia. And had some GI dysfunction as well. And although we kind of talk about the upper respiratory issues, we also need to understand that the virus enters through the injury. Andrew Ball (09:16): The angiotensin converting enzyme to receptors. And, there's obviously the majority of those are or in the lungs, but there are some in the GI tract as well. They're actually all over the body, but and that's why some of the lesser talked about symptoms include things like GI disturbance and urinary issues. And in her case loose bowels by day three, that's when she had a virtual visit. And luckily because there were so few folks being diagnosed at that time, she was able to get a clinical diagnosis by that evening coded by Dave. Or that's when she went to the emergency department because she felt like she thought she had a pneumothorax. She felt like she was unable to fill her left lung with air. And they did a chest X Ray. Andrew Ball (10:19): They did the nasal swab. That was day four. She described it as touching her brain. I mean, it's a significant swap. /you have to go all the way up to the back of the throat in order to get right. Which is why many folks who feel like they have a mild case when they hear that they choose not to engage the healthcare system. And I really think that's a bad, bad, bad, bad decision. Because yes, 80% of folks are gonna have a mild to moderate case, but those 20% that you carry it to can have a severe reaction to the virus. That can be, it can be fatal. Five through nine, her fever began to break. Roughly day seven, she had a reflexive excuse me cough. Andrew Ball (11:21): She was unable to sleep. She felt like your ears were completely clog. She was coughing up blood and coughing so much that she had conjunctive like conjunctivitis, like that redness in the eyes. Day nine was what she described as noteworthy and describe that as intense exhaustion to the point where she had trouble lifting a spoon. She had trouble zipping up a jacket. And it wasn't until day 11 that she felt like having any kind of food or any kind of coffee. Now here's the critical point is performers or super, super attuned to the idea of I felt bad. The show must go on. I've got it. Push it there. And roughly day 11 through day 14, that's when the viral load is decreasing, but the inflammation is increasing. That's when people go on to ventilators. That's when people kick into this cytokine storm that we've heard of. Andrew Ball (12:27): And it's critical to understand that as a healthcare provider and certainly as a patient or performer, cause there have been a number of cases where people had mild cases and they push themselves during this phase a little bit too soon and died having had very, very mild symptoms and then took a turn as a day 14, she still had some difficulty concentrating. She was still exhausted. She found it exhausting to speak and still had a morning sore throat and that's considered a mild.   Jenna Kantor: Okay. Wow. So I think that's, that's important to understand where these people have come from. You know, we don't, well we can get into the idea of ventilation and whatnot before we do it probably makes a little bit more sense to get into this kind of case and how we would treat them coming out of this when they can have contact and we can help them. Andrew Ball (13:36): Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So kind of jumping forward into well let's take a step back before we do that. If you don't mind just into the pathophysiology a little bit, where would you like to jump back and forth? Let's if we do the pathophysiology, just because I don't want this podcast to be too long. Let's make it very brief, very, very brief so that way we can move forward. So I think it's important to understand that COVID-19 is not influenza, it's not cystic fibrosis, it's not pneumonia. And those are the diseases that when you took cardiopulmonary physical therapy, like that was the primary focus was these diseases where the airways would fill with mucus. That is not at all what happens in COVID-19. So a percentage of folks get acute respiratory distress syndrome and it's a dry cough. Andrew Ball (14:32): And the reason that it's a dry cough is that the airways don't fill with mucus. What's happening is that the capillaries begin to leak fluid into the lung tissue itself. So think that like lymphedema of the lung, which sounds horrible, right? So the airways are getting, a couple of things are happening, the airways are getting squashed, but still get kind of in and out, but the elasticity of the lungs is going to decrease considerably. And why she felt like she had pneumothorax. Exactly. So, the lungs start to stiffen. Much more fluid within the lungs in the lungs lining. So if you think of the lining like a balloon and having that kind of the alveoli, having that kind of consistency, normally it's as though you took Vaseline and you just slathered the balloon with Vaseline and then expect for the gas to exchange at the same rate in between that membrane and it just does a brand harder thinking of this and that. Andrew Ball (16:10): So the problem is not mucus. The problem is ventilation and perfusion. So part of the reason why I got very interested in this is there is a role obviously for quarantine workouts. And by that I don't mean, you know, our brave soldiers within our profession that are in acute care in the ICU and are turning patients so they don't get bed sores and turning them into prone for optimal ventilation profusion. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the therapist that the only thing that they're posting is information on what healthy people can do when they're stuck at home. And there's a place for that short, but I really feel like there is a role and a responsibility that our profession has to educate the public and to educate each other about COVID-19 and little things. So I started out just asking questions about what can we as physical therapists do? Andrew Ball (17:20): Right. You know, I went back to my cardiopulmonary books, you know, what is the role of putting people into a head down, a position that postural drainage. So they can get the mucus out. Well, newsflash, they don't have mucus, right? So that's not going to help. And it's not the best position for Benadryl for ventilation profusion. So that's important. And the other thing I started asking was, well, what about chest PT? You know, I was awesome at chest PT. I haven't done it since graduation, but I remember that as well. The problem with that, again, no mucus, the clear, the only thing that you are going to do if you are trying to help a performer with a mild case who is getting over COVID-19 is you will weaponize an aerosol the virus. So, you know, there were several folks that were suggesting that based on a poor understanding of the physiology and now we really have to retool and get the information out that no, the best position for somebody who has an active case of COVID-19 is prone because that optimizes ventilation profusion because of fluid dynamics and the anatomy of where the alveoli are. Andrew Ball (18:37): So I think that's important to understand because in performance, you know, we fast forwarding, we like to think about things like posture, right? Posture may, it can't hurt, but it's not going to make the huge effect that we think of. With some of the other respiratory structural kinds of problems. Can you see, Oh, taping can be somewhat helpful for folks who have breathing dysfunction and until folks get very, very, very far in their recovery process, that's probably not going to be helpful. When I talk about prone, these folks have been placed in a prone position for the minimum protocol I've seen is 12 hours, but usually it's somewhere between 16 and 18 hours a day and a 24 hour period to optimize ventilation perfusion. Jenna Kantor (19:35): Right. That's exactly right. Well, the other issue getting into the psychology of all this, Isolation, psychosis, delirium, and these are people who are in pain and I have a hard time taking a breath. Right? They can't have family members can't have family members in there. Right. So what do you think the impact of that is going to be when you see the patients six to eight weeks after the resolution of symptoms in outpatient or as a performance based therapist?   Andrew Ball: Yeah, it's going to be probable in more than 50% of cases, 54% of cases. It's going to have a huge mental health impact that you can see at least 12 months later as PTSD. Now, I don't know about you and the musicians or performers that you've worked with myself included. Andrew Ball (20:42): I don't think that we're the least bunch and you layer, post traumatic stress a top that and what you end up with if you don't understand that walking into the room with the patient when you do the evaluation or when you treat them is a whole group of individuals, half of these folks who are going to have behavioral reactions to everything from the frustrations of making their appointments down to frustrations with the treatment process. It's just going to blow up seemingly out of nowhere. And I'm here to tell you it's not out of nowhere. Jenna Kantor (21:25): I get it. When you're talking about the psychological component, Oh, that's such an untapped situation. This is also new to us. Jenna Kantor (21:39): I don't know. I mean I guess it would just, I mean, off the top of my head would just how I am with my people when I'm with them. It's just really checking in, just checking in, asking. I would just keep asking and being like, are you okay? Let me know if this is starting to freak you out in any way. I think that that's gonna be the big thing. Like I need you to feel comfortable. I need you to feel safe and has to just be that level of, I mean, which we always have any way, but a new level of thought process, you know, sensitivity where something like going, even prone could make them go, you know, and they don't even know. They don't realize they're doing it. Their whole body could just even just naturally tense up and it could just become harder to breath just because they develop a new habit to feel like that's what it's going to feel like when they're on their stomach. We don't know. Andrew Ball (22:28): Fortunately or unfortunately, there's a ton of research. Oh, I'm working with patients with post traumatic stress as a function of you know, I don't want to get political here, but as a function of endless military action that are had over the course of the past years. So there's a fair amount of information on that, but awareness is going to be critical in working with these patients. Going back to infection though the question that I get asked probably more often than anything else is when is it appropriate to begin working with these folks without personal protective gear? And the answer to that is, there's some guidelines from the European rehabilitation society, but we really don't know. What we know is that patients can go stealth and can be contagious long after their symptoms disappear. Andrew Ball (23:37): And there's at least one case study a well written case study showing that the symptoms that the patient can shed the virus for 37 days after they're no longer symptomatic. And the problem with that is that here in the United States testing is scarce, right? To diagnose it, to say nothing of when are you clear completely of the virus. I'm not aware of widespread secondary testing. And then some of the guidelines from like the world health organization suggest that someone needs to be tested. I think it was in China. Needs to be tested twice and have a negative result twice before they're clear. And if we're not doing that, then we really have to wait six to eight weeks. Andrew Ball (24:44): And that's why, because you're going to be long, long past what we know to be the longest reported case. Now whether or not your patient is that, you know, new one that can where they stick around shedding the virus for 42 days or 48 days, you know, we don't know. And one of the scarier things from a public health perspective for me is the recognition that this is an RNA virus, which means that it's going to be harder to create a vaccine because like the common cold, like the rhino virus it slips, it mutates quickly. No, fortunately that has not happened. Andrew Ball (25:49): But there is every reason to be worried. And I don't want to freak people out, but there's every reason to be concerned that if we don't kill this thing this year, that it's going to come back every year in a slightly different form, perhaps more contagious, perhaps more stealth, perhaps more deadly. Perhaps it will shed the virus for a longer period of time before we were able to begin working with patients, which kind of gets to that economic effect. I understand that people are hurting. I understand that folks have private practices and cash based practices that have limited cashflow and they're hurting. I totally get that. Yeah. I mean, you know, and folks go, Oh, you don't understand. You work in a situation where you don't own your own practice. Andrew Ball (27:01): Well, that's true. You know, I have a significant impact income from teaching. So, you know, I get it. I understand that the dollars are tight, but if you told me that if we shut down for an additional two weeks and we can kill this thing completely, I would do that even if that meant a significant decrease in my salary. And at some point, I think that, and I'm not saying that everyone is a clinical doctor in our profession, I've gotten some feedback for that. But as a clinical doctoring profession, I do think that we have a solemn responsibility to the public in terms of educating on COVID-19 versus kind of filling the Instagram space with Mmm. Lots of home workouts, which are important. People need to keep fit and certainly keep their minds going while they're in quarantine. Andrew Ball (28:10): The problem is that there's so many outpatient private practice, cash based PTs that have a such a voice on Instagram that some of this information about just the mechanics of the disease, the physiology of the disease, how long you need to wait in order to protect yourself and your patient from either reinfection or infecting others just isn't pushing through. So, once again, thank you for allowing me to come on this podcast because I do think that those of us who have a voice in that space have an obligation to get some of this information. Jenna Kantor (28:57): Wow. Yeah. Yeah. It really, it is very valuable. I want to actually dive in, even though we've been going for a while, I think it is important to dive into now somebody who had the ventilator. Yeah. I think that, that we can't overlook that. There will be some people who've been that unfortunate. So could you talk about what that means with somebody who has been fortunate to recover from such a horrific. Andrew Ball (29:28): Sure. So, as I said, about 80% of patients are going to have a mild to moderate and they won't be hospitalized. They may, because of the stress and strain on their lungs, they may develop pneumonia, so they may actually end up, you know, having secondary sputum. But those are folks who, even with the pneumonia are going to have something that we consider a fairly mild case. 20% are going to be severe to critical. And the severe group are the ones who are going to have dyspnea. They're the ones who are going to have rapid breathing that's defined as more than 30 per minute. Their oxygen saturation is going to drop to 93%, and they'll have on a cat scan, you'll be able to see lung infiltrate. That looks like kind of a grounded glass appearance of about 50%. Andrew Ball (30:30): So, and then you've got 14% that are severe that fit that classification and about 6% that are critical. And that's respiratory failure, septic shock, multiorgan failure. And within that group, okay 20%, about 25%, we'll end up in the intensive care unit most of which or many of which will end up on a ventilator. And if you end up in the ICU on a ventilator, your chance of survival is about 50%. So what tends to happen with that ventilated population is on roughly about day 14 we talked about how the viral load increases and then decreases while the inflammation increases. Well as the inflammation in the lung increases okay. A percentage of those folks, as I said, will end up roughly around day 15 needing to be ventilated for about four to five days. And half of them will come off and half of them will not. So the people who come off their recovery. So their recovery we don't, again, there haven't been a ton of folks, so we don't know a ton. What we do know is that in severe cases, there's going to be ICU acquired muscle weakness. They're going to have a severe loss of lung function, a severe loss of muscle mass. Andrew Ball (32:16): Yeah, we're getting younger too, but just as things been saying percentages. Yeah. neuropathy, myopathy. The good news is, is that we can begin to protect recovery. And the greatest, what we know is that the greatest amount in physical function will be seen. If the patient falls into acute respiratory failure, we'll see that within roughly the first two months of discharged. So that gives us some kind of a gauge. In addition the degree of disability at about a week after discharge determines the one year mortality and recovery trajectory of that individual. So we have some guidelines as far as that's concerned from acute respiratory distress syndrome, right? So that's not necessarily coded, but we believe that we can extrapolate in general what we haven't talked about is the impact on them. Andrew Ball (33:30): And the fact that about 30% of family members of individuals with acute respiratory syndrome end up with PTSD. So now you have this group, we're 50% of folks who have been in the ICU have PTSD and 30% those folks have family members who have PTSD. How do you think that's going to go down or like, a lot of them can't go into the hospital, but they can do a FaceTime video. So what they get to see in that FaceTime video with their loved ones in the hospital, I'm talking about after they're discharged. I'm talking about later. Yeah. No, but I'm just saying the family members with the person, I'm like their interaction. That's what I'm referring to, their reaction with it. If you're prone for 16 to 18 hours a day, right? Jenna Kantor (34:07): Yeah. So what do you do with these folks when you finally see them? Right. So you're going to have chocolate. Chocolate makes people happy. Right? It's funny, it's funny you say that. I'm doing a webinar with some some other instructors that I teach with and we're kind of talking about the format. And I'm a huge fan of the old school. I love the daily show, but I'm a huge fan of the old daily show with Craig Kilborne. He used to do the thing where he would like ask opinion questions. I'll ask you Reese's pieces or M&Ms no, I'm sorry. The correct answer is eminence. No, I'm sorry you were wrong. No, I would agree. But that's what he would say. Jenna Kantor (35:13): He would end with those kinds of questions. Kind of like his version of the James Lipton kind of five questions. What do you hope that God says when you die anyway, we're getting off track. So what I'd like to kind of go through is you're going to have folks that have worked with you in the past. They are post infection. Ah, they’re your dancers, they're your musicians in the pit. They're your directors. They're your loved ones that are going to refuse to see anyone. But yeah.   Andrew Ball: Right. And of those folks, you're going to need to know what to, you know, what to do. I would say if you hear nothing else from me, remember your vitals and there's, it has to be a Renaissance now of taking heart rate, taking respiratory rate, taking oxygen saturation, taking blood pressure with every patient. Andrew Ball (36:12): The functional tests that we're probably gonna have to start using are things like ambulatory distance, which is going to be severely decreased. We'll be lucky if some of these folks are able to walk 300 feet. Some of them, right, if they're severely impaired. You know, that's not far enough to get from your car to a doctor's office. You normally need about 500 feet for that to say nothing of getting back to your daily life and doing your own grocery shopping with which you need at a super target or R or Walmart, you need a good half mile, you need a good 2,500, 2,500 feet. But things like the five times sit to stand test or test that we're going to need to brush up on the six minute walk test. Fortunately we can remote monitor some of those things. Andrew Ball (37:05): Tele-Health isn't just you know, getting on a zoom call with somebody tele health, we need to think of that in an expanded way, right? There's apps that will allow for you to do a six minute walk test or your patient to do a six minute walk test and then send you those results remotely from there, from their app. Some folks aren't going to be able to walk for six minutes, right? So at that point we're going to have to back up into feet per second or four meters per second. And we have some metrics for that. You know, we know that somebody who's under 70 at a normal walking pace should be able to walk a good 2,500 feet at a 4.0 feet per second. So, you know, somebody comes in completely deconditioned and they're walking 1.5 feet per second for 500 feet. We've got some work to do. Jenna Kantor (38:36): Yeah, totally. Yeah. You know, don't forget about deep breathing, deep dive. And I don't just mean you know the breath, but I mean the breadth, I mean the deep diaphragmatic breathing, bringing it all the way down into your belly, your performers should be well for those dancers who sing, that's huge. That's so huge to reconnect with it, even though that may seem so basic with them before, but have they caught the disease. And, for sure to make sure that starts to get all connected and back in check and not a stressful Andrew Ball (38:43): Right. You know, and then I look into things that, Mmm, that as I've spoken with some cardiopulmonary specialist, you know, all of this comes from the European rehab society. I also want to plug the American physical therapy association. I shouldn't have done this at the very top of the of the discussion. But the pacer project, the post acute  COVID-19 exercise and rehabilitation program, it is completely free, but it's time intensive. Mmm. You know, they've tried to break things down into 45 minutes or hour and a half lectures, but there's like eight or 10 of them. You don't have to watch all of them. It's free. If you want to get the certification and the CEO's is fine, go through the APTA learning center, but they've put everything up on YouTube and all you have to do is search APTA cardiovascular section and you'll get the the literature. I think a lot of orthopedic sports performance based PTs they're really tech savvy and they kind of want to get the information through podcasts or a like a one hour presentation. So that's, well, essentially what I'm trying to do is to translate. Jenna Kantor (40:08): That's what's so great. I mean I'm going to be sharing this in groups as well to keep spreading the information, which is absolutely wonderful. This is good. Andrew Ball (40:21): Well, I do add in a couple of things that I've kind of brought to there. Okay. So some of their attention and because they're kind of case study oriented, they're like, well, we're really not teaching that. But particularly for it can't hurt. And particularly for performers humming and I don't mean like humming a song. I mean a long, deep droning Andrew Ball (40:52): There's evidence to suggest that it temporarily increases carbon dioxide and it temporarily increases nitric oxide. And in so doing leads to temporary base or dilation, so it can't hurt. I don't know how long it actually lasts. Certainly the deep breathing and increasing walking distance and walking speed is more important. But if you're bored and have nothing else to do while you're in quarantine humming is probably not thinkers would appreciate that. Jenna Kantor (41:28): They'd be like, yeah, for sure. That will be a vocal way for them to get that all connected. Also nasal, yeah, there's a lot of stuff with training and staying vocally fit, if you will. So that would actually speak to there values. Andrew Ball (41:44): Yeah. Yeah. I could go into a lot more here. I just want to make sure that that folks have a good kind basic understanding here. You know, we've heard, you know, wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands. So I'll make a plug for wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands. And even in some other countries where the health care workers understood the severity of COVID-19 the healthcare workers seem to be a risk to themselves because they didn't properly and thoroughly and frequently wash their hands. I would say whatever you think you're doing, it's probably not enough. Okay. The other thing that I would say about the hand sanitizers that we tend to use the world health organization and FDA suggest 75 to 80% alcohol. Andrew Ball (42:50): And that is not what most clinics have. Most have like the foam sanitizer or the like the Purell, which is 60%. Okay. You know, plugging performers amazing, okay. Guitarists, my performance Buddha and spirit animal is Ron Bumblefoot fall who is in the band spun. Do you know who that is? No, it's not the name. He's in sons of Apollo. He was the lead vocalist for Asia this last tour. And those of you who love guns and roses he was the guitarist the main guitarist on the last guns and roses album. Chinese democracy is ridiculous as a player and he's amazing as a teacher as well in any of that. He also has a line of hot sauce and one of the, and I just love when performers do this and kind of take responsibility for the position that we're in, but a Unitedsauces.com which is the distributor that he works with has retooled one of their lines to put out hand sanitizer that is 75 to 80% alcohol. Andrew Ball (44:20): So that will in fact kill the Corona virus. So, Mmm. Great. Local company here in Charlotte. Highly, highly recommend and plugged them. Hey, you want to support a performer you know, during these times. And the last thing that I will leave folks with is as you are working with patients post infection, ask yourself, do you need to put your hands on this patient? Can this be done remotely? And I'm really more talking you know, it really more talking to the folks who do outpatient work, who have their own side hustle who do work in a healthcare system who are going to be pulled inpatient, right? You know, either somewhere like New York city where you are. And folks have to be kind of pulled in, you know, right down to the rural hospital you know, in the middle of nowhere. Andrew Ball (45:32): And there's two physical therapists, one inpatient, one outpatient, and they need help working because now they have more folks that are getting ill. You know, really ask the question, both inpatient in your cash practice, in your private practice for the sake of killing this thing. And for the sake of decreasing whether or not you're a force vector, do you need to provide that treatment? And is there someone else who can be your hands? Can you delegate that to a nurse? Can you delegate that to a family member? I really think that we're going to a friend of mine who runs another podcast Adam Meakins, has been talking about physical therapy in terms of AC DC during COVID and after COVID. And I really think that all areas of practice are going to change as a result ranging from the little things that I just talked about, you know, having to do vital signs with everybody right down to really asking the question, can I go from an interdisciplinary model of care to a transdisciplinary model of care? Andrew Ball (46:58): Can I let go of that professional boundary and ego. And I know that a lot of my contemporaries are not going to be comfortable with that. I think we have to be secure in the knowledge that we have more than the hands that we place on people. It's all important, but I do think that there's going to be a paradigm shift. Jenna Kantor (47:30): I love it. Thank you. So, for coming on, Drew, this was an absolute joy. Where can people find you and reach out to you either on social media or email? Andrew Ball (47:39): Well they can reach out to me. I'm on Instagram @drdrewPT. They can email me at drdrewPT@gmail.com. If I don't respond, I have a ton of spam filters. So don't be shy about reaching out to me through social media. But I really want to make it clear. I'm not the expert here. The true experts, you know, are people like Steve Tepper Ellen Hilda grass Angela a beta Campbell Telia polic you know, these are the folks that we really should be talking to are Eric. And if you really want more information, I'm happy to direct people to it. Jenna Kantor (48:37): That is helpful. Yeah, absolutely. Andrew Ball (48:39): The Easter projects, the post acute COVID-19 exercise rehabilitation project is really where folks want to go for more in depth information from physiology to post acute through the entire spectrum of post acute care. Jenna Kantor (49:00): Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for coming on. You guys give a big shout out to him if you have seen this, just so he can really see how he has impacted so many. Thank you so much for coming on, Drew. Have a great day, everyone.   Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

She battled bulimia all through her teens and later survived an armed robbery and a miscarriage. But Margie Warrell refused to let these crucible experiences define her. She fought her way to a life of significance helping women in particular live authentic lives of unshakable bravery, not battling against external forces but against internal ones. In this interview with Crucible Leadership founder and BEYOND THE CRUCIBLE host (and fellow Aussie) Warwick Fairfax, Warrell describes how she has learned to silence the nagging voice of self-doubt in her head, responding to its taunts of "Who are you to try something like that?" by answering boldly back: "Who am I NOT to try something like that?" Challenging herself, and her self-doubts, so bravely have led her to become a member of the Advisory Board of Forbes School of Business & Technology, an honoree of the Women’s Economic Forum and a sought-after leadership consultant to such organizations as NASA, Johnson & Johnson and Google. Her empowering insights to women, and indeed all people, continue with her latest book, You’ve Got This! The Life-Changing Power of Trusting Yourself, coming from Wiley in March.

Via Negativa Traveling Inspired by Nassim Taleb, a thought about travel: Before traveling, don't stress so much on what to bring, but focus and think deeply on what NOT to bring! Also: When traveling, decide what you DON'T care to do, or what you don't want to do. When talking to locals, instead of asking them 'what to do", ask them: "What touristy and stupid things should I NOT do?" When packing for your trip, decide what NOT to bring, what NOT to pack, what devices NOT to bring. Treat travel as an opportunity for 'simulated poverty' (Seneca's idea). For example -- are you brave enough to leave your phone at home? Or your iPad? Or your laptop? Treat it like a fun game -- intentionally UNDER-PACK for your trip! What are you traveling for? I think: Traveling is a good way to SUBTRACT the internet, SUBTRACT your worries from back home, and SUBTRACT all the silly noise back home. Wifi-less travel For example I am about to leave tomorrow to Cuba for a week, and will not have access to the internet (this is what I am the most excited for). I wonder: A week without internet? What will I do, and NOT do? What camera equipment NOT to bring Another thought: Figure out what superfluous camera equipment to leave at home. For this trip (one week in Cuba, two weeks in Mexico City), I am only bringing RICOH GR III. Insanely lightweight is the goal This is what I have learned from my decade+ of travel: When in doubt, throw it out. 99% of the things we think we 'need' in travel is superfluous. Furthermore, if we truly see travel as a road to adventure, having LESS makes things more interesting. Treat it like a fun 'creative constraint': See how little you can pack for your trip. Minimum viable travel What is the minimum viable amount of stuff you can bring for your trip, without any serious downside? Let this be your guiding force! ERIC

Episode 77. As I prepare to leave for a trip with my husband, I’ve been working so hard to try and lean into the woman I used to be. The woman who went on these trips with no anxiety and just excitement and relaxation. And then I had a moment… I am NOT that woman anymore. And that’s amazing. It’s not something to mourn or wish I was. I am a mother now. I’m a woman who experiences anxiety sometimes. I am sexier. I’m more aligned. I’m more confident. And I’m stronger. Why the heck would I NOT want to go on this trip as ME. And then I realized. So many women live in this space. The space of either projecting into the future to become the woman they thought they were supposed to be or living in the past wishing they could be the woman they once were. But what would happen if you allowed yourself to have the space to be exactly who you are right here and right now? What if you opened your eyes to all of the opportunity to grow and become the woman you’re MEANT to be?

Today’s guest is Dr. Sabrina Starling, the business psychologist, author of "How to Hire the Best," and the founder of Tap the Potential.  I invited Dr. Sabrina to be on the show today to talk about hiring, because I know how many of my own clients find it challenging to hire the right person. And oftentimes, they have resistance to hiring, and wait too long to make that next hire. Oftentimes, at their own detriment. And I'm aware that the resistance to hiring can often be mindset blocks.  I know so many business owners who struggle with similar challenges. So the thinking around this episode was to serve up some real life coaching, to bring awareness and understanding to you on some of the things that might be hiding out in your own mind that might result in shifting the choices that you're making around hiring. Dr. Sabrina’s Four-Week Vacation Mindset Tool The Four-Week Vacation Mindset Tool is based on the idea that others are whole, capable, confident and complete. When we think to ourselves, “I can't take a 4-week vacation,” we ask, “How can I?” Instead of “I don't know how to set up my business to be successful with teams so that I could be gone,” we ask “Who can I learn from?” Instead of “My clients will be upset that I’m gone, that they're dealing with someone who's not me, (or whatever our Gremlins are), “How do we, as a team, continue to provide an exceptional service in a team member’s absence?”  So we're taking all those Gremlin beliefs that run through our heads that limit us, and we're turning them into powerful questions.   Key Takeaways Dr. Sabrina has no doubt given me a lot to think about and new perspectives to look through when I think about what I want for my business, and how I might grow it in a way that works for me, works for staff employees, subcontractors, and increases my impact while getting more of my time back.  Other key takeaways for me were on shifting my perspective: believing that people are whole, competent and complete versus I have to teach them everything. the idea that I have to teach you everything  having to shoulder the workload  Some questions/learnings from our conversation:   What am I NOT doing because I hadn’t wanted to hire?  Any time that I’m doing something that’s not my gift, I’m depriving somebody of my gift. How could you have a greater impact while working less? What would my life be like if accolades weren't related to my identity and my self esteem?   Listeners, I want to hear from you.

Talking to the doctor or any health care professional is not an easy one-on-one conversation. As a patient, we are coming into the conversation at a disadvantage. We are in a position of weakness; they are in a position of power.    We are sick, or injured or worried about this disease or that ailment; they, on the other hand, look strong, well dressed, clean and it is understood that they are highly educated.    But we need to remember it’s our body, our health is our life, literally. We know what hurts, how we deal with pain, we know our family history. We live it.    Don’t underestimate your power. That said, it is not as easy as it sounds.   It takes practice, determination, and chutzpah to have a good one-on-one; give and take the conversation with your doctor.    I’m Gloria Moraga,   Here is one of the first hurdles, many doctors are not great communicators. They are science nerds. They spent most of their time in school in the biology labs. If they took a communications class, it was way back when they were undergraduates. Medical School is long and difficult, and it is filled with older, smarter, demanding jerks, who are horrible communicators. Back in the old days, nobody would Ever recommend that a doctor or an intern take communication classes or a Comms. Seminar To learn how to carry on a conversation with a patient.    It just isn’t Done. Doctors heal! They are like living Gods on earth. We are just lucky to get a few minutes of their time! And the time we spend without doctors is getting shorter and shorter. So the time we spend with them is precious. So some of us are afraid to ask questions, challenge, ask for a second opinion. Say no, I do not want to take that drug or have that surgery or what are my other options or why are we doing it this way.    This is wrong!    They work for us. We are their clients, their customers, we pay their salaries! We are not Nothing!    I believe in my heart that doctors are basically good and caring. But I know in my mind that like any profession, there are bad doctors.    I wanted to quote the Hippocratic Oath at this point.  One of the oldest binding documents in history, the Oath was written by Hippocrates is still held sacred by physicians: to treat the ill to the best of one's ability, to preserve a patient's privacy, to teach the secrets of medicine to the next generation, and so on.   I thought the Oath included the phrase, “above all, do no harm." It does not.    Hippocrates also said that it’s just not in the Oath. Hippocrates was a Greek physician born in 460 BC." Hippocrates is known as "The Father of Medicine." In the ancient western world, Hippocrates was regarded as the greatest physician of his day.   My point, above all, do no harm. Medical professionals are not there to hurt us, but it’s up to us to speak up and help them help us with our medical care.    So how do we do this, Gloria Moraga? We must speak up. Please try. Because sometimes you must be the squeaky wheel if you need oil. Make eye contact, ask questions. If you are confused, ask them to explain. Here’s a tip, tell them you are confused. You need a better explanation,    Don’t just agree to have a procedure if you are unclear that it will help you feel better,    When I had my recent hospital say, I repeatedly asked if I could have different pain medication. They were giving me OxyContin. I did not want it. I was in pain, but I wanted another pain pill. I repeatedly said I have a family history of drug addiction, I researched the fact that a person can become addicted to Oxy in about 10 days of continual use. All the research shows that addiction varies from person to person.    The nurses and others ignored me and kept pushing the oxy. Finally, I told the doctor I didn’t want it and she increased my other less addictive pain meds. When I got home, I stopped taking everything entirely. Yes. I was still in pain.    Pain is our body’s way of talking to us. Why do I want to drug out my body? I don’t. I want to get well, heal, some pain is not fatal. Drug addiction is another form of death for me,    My point is: I took control of the meds I want to consume. I’m not just going to pound down whatever they give me, how the hell did we get into this drug addiction mess that we are in. Too many prescriptions. Let’s wake up people.    So please, know what you want to say, have a communications plan. When you are getting ready to go to the doctor practice what you want to say. Write it down. Take your notes with you. If they don’t have time for you ask to speak to the nurse or physician's assistant. Make sure they note in your chart that you need, additional, information. You want someone to call you with more facts.    If you don’t like the way you are being treated or if they are not listening to you. Ask for another doctor. It is your right.    I get two or three guys to give me estimates to paint my hours. Why would I NOT get a second opinion to gave surgery on my leg? I want to walk! Walking is more important than a paint job.    I’m Gloria Moraga one-on-one Communications in the Digital Age. How to talk to your doctor or any health care professional. Don’t be afraid. Good luck!

And out of those songs - which are the ones I would love to eventually hear some day?

What a delightful conversation with someone SO rich with spiritual presence and connection WHILE being able to provide practical tools for our everyday lives. Shanthi shared such beautiful stories of growing up in India and how her father and mother were amazing yoga teachers, yet not in the 'poses' sense we think of in the West.  We touched upon Bollywood, direct experiences and the power of the breath. I'm doing exactly what she suggested I NOT do... I'm writing this eating my salad... not being present! I'm multitasking... yet at least when I take a bite I am more present to my salad, I am listening more to my body, I am tasting the tastes more... yet I admit... still coming back to typing! Please forgive me Shanthi! Yet I AM moving in the direction of more presence and I am grateful for her practical insights home to the path of the Divine. xox The Key to Success p.s. Gentlemen…End the Fear of Rejection.

I'm going to show you a deep look into the top of my Value Ladder and the offer we're selling there (and why)...   We're in a marketing economy where customer success equals the future of our companies.   … so if you can't get success for those who buy from you... you're gonna die.   So one of the questions I ask myself is:   How can I get faster results for those who purchase from me?   My answer is LIVE EVENTS… but not any ole live event - I’m talkin’ something SPECIAL…   In two days from the publication of this article, I’m gonna be running my first high-ticket event, OfferLab …   And I thought I'd tell you what it is… and why I know that it’s gonna get AMAZING results for people.   First, let me tell you why I LOVE live events sooo much!   EVENT MAGIC   There's something to good Live events that makes them extraordinary   If somebody's willing to schedule a time to come to a live event...   i.e.,   Get the babysitter   Take off work or their own business   Organize the flight and the hotel room   Take the time to show up   ....that's NOT the same kind of individual as someone who wants to download a member's area, and just consume content in their basement.   You know what I'm saying?   It's just NOT the same kind of person.   The more workshop style events are the ones that I appreciate going to the most.   I don't just want to be spoken at...   Even OfferMind is not just a ‘let's just listen to Stephen speak for three days event,’ I hate that.   I'm there to network... but it's NOT why I go.   I'm there to learn…  but I'm NOT there to be spoken at.   I really wanna do things at events that are hard to pull off on my own or that would take me a huge amount of time or money to learn on my own.   I think this workshop-style approach was part of the reason why FHAT was so successful back in the day.   THE FHAT EFFECT!   The FHAT events were small groups of 60-ish people.   It was an expensive room - people would pay 15 to 30 grand for three days.   First, Russell ran the event... and then eventually, I had the privilege and the honor of running it for him.   So people would work with me during the day and then Russell would do spot training in the evening.   It was a really powerful event.   Eventually, I began to notice this weird phenomenon, ( I didn't expect this at all), but without fail, the fastest success stories ALWAYS came from people in the FHAT event.   I'm sure there were anomalies, but that was the general pattern.   That was a powerful lesson for me because I started realizing ‘the role of the event.’   A lot of people were already successful... or they were brand new and serious…   But I think one of the reasons why the FHAT success rate was so high had less to do with whether someone was already successful… and MORE to do with *INTENT*   It was the reason why they showed up in the room.   The FHAT Event was fast, furious and very focused... it was a workshop style three straight days... and by the end, people had tangible results:     “Sweet, I got my sales message.”       “Awesome, I got my offer.”       “Cool, here's my funnel.”     And for what we didn't get done there was a ton of easy pre-built things for them to use... . We specifically focused on all the things that are very hard  to do on your own. THE DEATH OF FHAT   The FHAT event doesn't run anymore... and here's been this hole in my heart ever since.   I can’t bring the FHAT event back because it's NOT my event (it's a ClickFunnels/ Russell Brunson event), but I've always wanted to have a similar event of my own…   But I wanted to bring it back in a very different way…   I’m talkin’ Larsen style 2.0.   INTRODUCING OFFERLAB...   OfferLab is happening on May 23rd, 24th, and 25th - it's something I'm only doing twice a year - so far, I don't see a reason to do it more than that.   At its core, OfferLab is a workshop event.   Now, I know that's nothing new... but stay with me ;-)   OFFERLAB DAY#1:   After the first Funnel Hackathon event, Russell and I realized that people needed to go through a whole bunch of stuff before they showed up to the event…   Otherwise, we just ended up re-teaching all the stuff that was in the member's area.   I don't want to do that.   Why would you come to an event where I'm just gonna teach you the same stuff that you had inside of a members area?   Sooo…   Day #1 is a recap and a spot-check - people already gone through an in-depth 90-page workbook.   The last thing anyone needs is MORE content - so the workbook is focused teachings with specific outputs that build upon each other.   I want to check that people know:   Who they’re selling to   What they’re selling   The core problem they solve   Their core offer   It’s a lot of the foundation pieces that most people skip when they're doing any kind of offer creation.   I'm finding that I can't teach offer creation without going into market selection.   I don't know how it works otherwise? I don't know how to do it without that key piece.   The first thing I need to go through is market selection. Before I even think about:   An Offer   A Sales Message   The Funnel   How to launch   ... ahead of time, I need to know the market selection and positioning.   It’s a much broader, high level, 30,000 view that massively affects the kind of   Offer I build   launch campaign I run   I need to know all that other stuff, but it comes after I discover market selection and positioning.   So Day #1 is about; it's market selection, and we go through what the core problem is… It's aggressive... and we go late into the night, but at the end of  Day #1, everyone is gonna be very clear on:   What market they serve   The red ocean they're coming out of   Their blue ocean and the scaffolding to build it   The core problem that they solve (most people can't even name the problem they're solving in their business. Baffling, right?)   The core offer and how to build it and likely it will be built.   But it gets EVEN Cooler!   GETTING RESULTS   I started thinking, “Okay, but a lot of people run events like that...   “I'm Steve Larsen, baby! How can I make this different to what everyone else does?”   So we did a little brainstorming session…   I started to think about where people got stuck at the FHAT event…   We’d help people to:   Build their webinar slides - which was so cool. I mean, it was so unique.   Give 'em things for the funnel   Put together their offer   Think through a lot of their positioning inside of the market.   BUT…   One of the things I noticed that people struggled with after they had those things - was when the rubber meets the road at the launch…     At that point, most people can't just push that baby outta the door…   … which leads me to Day #2!   OFFERLAB DAY#2   Day #2 is all about Lucrative Launch Campaigns...   I'm specifically focusing on the most lucrative styles of launch campaigns that I see over and over again, regardless of what they sell/ industry/ product/ price point/ online/ or offline…   What are the launches that pretty much always GUARANTEE a win?   I love Jeff Walker, he has ‘Launch’... but that's teaching one specific style of launch.   The book Ask by Ryan Levesque, (love the book), that's really one style of launch too.   Those are great ways to launch, but there are lots of other ways too.   I just used a bunch of different launches myself…   So on Day #2, I'm gonna teach launch strategies - ‘now that you know the core of your business, who gives a crap unless you can cash flow on it.’   Cash isn't king, cash flow is king.   So taking the core offer that they’ve built - what's the quickest way to cash? That's all I care about now!   Now it's time to make money. Right now, of the 30-ish people coming to OfferLab - about half are new and about half have an existing business.   That's the beauty of what  I've chosen to teach…   It's NOT just for somebody who is a killer with an existing business -  it's for EVERYONE. LUCRATIVE LAUNCH TO EVERGREEN There are two different types of campaigns…   The Launch Campaign   The Evergreen Campaign   Most people run straight to the Evergreen Campaign and just turn on Facebook ads.   There's nothing wrong with that, however, you stumble over a ton of cash if you skip the Launch Campaign - they're very different creatures.   So on Day #2, we cover…   Here's how to have a lucrative launch campaign Easy ways to turn on Evergreen-style campaigns.   MY CONTENT MACHINE   However…   The thing I'm most excited about on Day #2 is the insane deep dive on my content machine. … there's a lot to it.   There's far more to my content machine than, ‘let's just repurpose this stuff and publish it all over the place.’   If you guys really watch what I'm doing with content...(it makes me sound conceited)... it's freakin' cool.   I'm gonna go into insane depths about my content machine and actually help people to create their own…   I understand that a lot of people are gonna be scared to publish. I get it - I was too.   I know a lot of people are gonna be scared to repurpose... I get it.   I know a lot of 'em are gonna be like, “...but Stephen, you're spending 20 grand a month on your content machine. Do I have to do that?”   *NO YOU DON’T*   We can help everyone implement  - no matter where they are...   Now, this is as far as I thought through when I first started selling this program, but I was like, ‘...it lacks a certain pizzazz.’ RED TEAM/ BLUE TEAMI think one of the best things anyone can do with their offer is to play devil's advocate.   It’s time to look at your business and ask:     “Why does my business suck?”       “What are the things that can be improved?”     I never look at my business like it's perfect -  there's always something wrong with the baby, right?   I look in my business and ask:   What’s not good?   Why would I NOT buy my own thing?   What’s lacking sexiness?”   That's one of my secret weapons.   I Red Team/ Blue Team my stuff all the time - I didn't realize that's what it was called until I heard Tim Ferriss say that in an interview once. In the army, we'd call it War-Gaming - one side attacks while the other defends.   You go as hard as you can at each other...   It's interesting what you learn when you Red team/ Blue team your stuff -     There’s a similar scenario that comes from the coding world as well:   I'm gonna try to hack your stuff   I'm gonna try and defend it   ...who wins?   CREATING INSIGHTOne of my favorite things is to put headphones on and listen to a playlist I have called Insight Music - I just walk around thinking…   I like to brainstorm; there's not necessarily a topic. It's one of my favorite things on the entire planet to do.   I can't wait until I have more business structures built inside of my company so I'm doing that all the time. That's where my zone of genius comes out.   Anyway, I did that for OfferLab - I was like, “What else could we do?”   … and then it came to me!   The thing I hate about most events is that when they’re finished I can't say, ‘This is what the event helped me to create.’   A lot of times, I don't know what the outcomes from me having gone to the event are?   That was my biggest fear with OfferMind.   I believe that one of the reasons why OfferMind has been so successful already was because I focused on what you’d be equipped with when you leave.   I want you to be able to say:   “This is what happened.”     “This is what I've done.”       “This is why things are different.”       “The common denominator just changed.”       “Things actually upgraded.”       All ships rose because I went to that event.”     … and I definitely want that for OfferLab too.   So I was thinking about how to create an event that people walk away from saying:   “This is what I did. This is why it was all worth it?” So what we decided to add Day #3…   OFFERLAB DAY #3   It was ALWAYS frustrating to me whenever I'd see some successful guru something achieving. I'd be like, “Well, of course, they can do that, they have…   A List   A video person that's awesome.   Thousands of dollars to spend on awesome headshots.   I felt so outclassed. I couldn't function, I couldn't perform or compete in this space…   It was a false belief, but it was my belief.   ...and maybe you've been there?   If you're like, “Well, I can't compete because it's Steve Larsen.”   Man, I wasn't Steve Larsen until two and a half years ago.   … so I get it!   So what could I do? How could I arm people to overcome that limitation?   If the whole goal of OfferLab is to increase the value of one's core offer or help build a core offer - what can I give them inside of their core offer that’ll be a massive, huge accelerant?   Does the sale depend on a logo? No, but what if I helped them get one?   Does the sale depend on professional headshots? Absolutely not, but what if I was to help them get that?   It's cool to have the nice splash graphic, even though it's NOT why they buy - it does help.   So I've been listing a bunch of cool assets   … they are NOT the reason the sale happens but they are still assets.   It's still nice to have a cool logo - even though it's not what cause the sale.   So there are all these assets that I felt outclassed because I didn't have; what if day three was asset day?   So that's what we're doing…   ASSET DAY   I went through all the people who do my...   Headshots   Videos   Logos   Motion graphics   Images   A lot of design styled stuff   … all the stuff that makes this Core Offer come alive.   We're putting everyone into a limo, (I can't remember what kind it is, but it's BIG) and driving them to see all these people.   I grew up in Denver, Colorado; I would never have guessed that Boise, Idaho has this much tech... but it really does.   ClickBank is here... Bodybuilding.com is here... ClickFunnels, obviously - it’s a very entrepreneurial space.   I'm not gonna lie, I was like, “Boise, Idaho? I had potatoes yesterday.” I had no idea...   A lot of the times I'd be watching Russell create assets and before that, I didn't even know that I should think about having someone to do that for me...   It’s been cool is to list out all the assets that I see most new entrepreneurs or existing entrepreneurs want.   And even though it's NOT the thing that makes the sale -  a lot of times it's what gives the new one's confidence.   So for the first half of the day, I'm actually gonna take people to…   Get their headshot   Tell their origin story on a beautiful camera   Get their logo done   Have a splash graphic done   … all the assets that really help the core offer.   It's less about making it sell, (I didn't have any of that crap beforehand), and more about confidence for the entrepreneur, whether they're new or existing.   MEET MY CONTENT TEAM…   Then I was like, “Okay, how can we make it even sexier? One more step of awesome.”   When I was studying to become an officer in the army, a very common style of training was the round robin.   Station #1: you're gonna learn grenade throwing.   Station #2: you're gonna practice buddy-bounding, (one guy shoots,  you run forward, and then you shoot to keep him forward).   Station #3: you're gonna focus on how to call for Medivac.   They're only 15-20 minutes stations, but in two or three hours, you get this baptism in each one skill set.   Then the next week, you did the same thing until you got better and better.   I was like, what if we did something similar?   So I invited my entire Content Team to come and round-robin for 15-minute fast spot-check coaching session  - it's like speed dating.   That's a freakin' massive deal!   They will look at your content and say, “This is the reason why your Instagram isn't growing.” BOOM!   ...then you get back up and you go to the next person and they look at your ad account or at your platform...   “Hey, this is the obvious sore thumb - just change that.”   How sick would that be!   MY HERO TEAM   Then I thought…   “What if I had my hero team come in?”   So you have NOT just the content team, but the actual people who help me set up other aspects of the business.   The people who...   Spot-check systems in my business   Run my finances   When I first started in this game I felt like  “I'm not gonna make it. I don't know who the best of the best is?”   That was my thing.   I was moving forward, but my biggest hang up the majority of the time was, “I don't have money but I have time, dude. What am I supposed to do? I don’t know who to ask?”   Anyways, how cool would it be to have my…   Facebook ads person   Business systems person   Financial people   They do all that stuff for me... 'cause they love it, and I don't! That's great, right!   So now there’s a round robin with my content machine and my hero team as well.   It just keeps going….. it's freakin' awesome!   THE OFFERLAB LOWDOWN…   Here’s how I set stuff out for OfferLab...   You need all the stuff on Day #1 and Day #2   You don't need a Day #3 without  #1 and #2.   You especially don't need a Day #2 or #3 without  Day #1.   Day #1 is where you figure out…   What the heck you're selling?   Who you're selling it to?   Why they want it?   The core offer that you're doing...   The core of your entire business...   Don't even worry about anything else in your value ladder until you've got that - until it's proven - until people are buying it CONSISTENTLY.   You're not the business... you're not the funnel.   *DON’T MOVE ON*   Then you go onto Day #2 - which is very much bringing it to market.     How do you actually get cash?       How does it sustain those Evergreen models?     Really what keeps a blue ocean and a new product alive is content - so if you're not publishing, no wonder you're dumping so much money into ads!   You gotta publish.   So I'm gonna go deep into that and help them actually design a content machine, both starter and eventually the one you're going to grow into.   Finally, Day #3 is Asset Day:   Let's get all the assets together to help make that core offer alive so it can live and breath.   You want people to see it and be, “Oh my gosh!”   I don't care what you’re selling, you still need a lot of the same things regardless of what you're selling.   On top of that, spot-check coaching from the who's who inside my personal Rolodex.   This is happening on Thursday, Friday, Saturday - there's no room already -  you need to come through the six weeks ahead of time…   That's why I'm doing this episode.   The next one will not be for a couple of months, but honestly, if you're brand new, that is a blessing…   It gives you a chance to go through everything.   We focus on it week by week. I'm on weekly coaching. I have other people come in looking at your funnels, looking at your offers.   I have people coming in holding your feet to the fire, “Did you get that asset done? Did you get this output figured out?”   It's not a cheap program for me to run, but it's highly effective... and it was after the FHAT Event that I decided, “I want my own style of that event.”   Very few things on this planet have ever got that level of results for the customer than a well thought out live event.   … and that's why I'm doing OfferLab this way!   So, guys, I'd love to have you come to OfferLab.   Go to myofferlab.com   It’s NOT  offerlab.com because the guy who was selling offerlab.com wanted soooo much money - it was ridiculous!   I was just like, “No, I'll just put a ‘my’ in front of it, and buy it for 12 bucks!   So go to myofferlab.com to jump on the phone with us and we'll look through your business and see if you're a good fit.   It's not a joke, it's a real application!   Anyways, love to have you come to the next OfferLab, (which won't be for a couple of months, but now you know),  go to myofferlab.com.   Hey,   I know this game can take a few tries to get the money flowing, especially the first time, right? And that can suck.   I also know from experience how frustrating it can be to know your business is just a few tweaks away from your next big payday, but you don't know what tweaks to make.   I've felt completely paralyzed by that in the past, and it sucks.   I've been blessed to work with thousands of new and successful businesses over the last three years, and two things have really shocked me.   #1: I began noticing the pattern to success is vastly the same, but everyone's spot on the path is obviously different.   #2: I've been shocked and overwhelmed by the number of people asking for my help, my systems, and funnels in their business.   Well, until now I've never had a system or product in my own business to help you build yours.   Now, I'm finally able to be public about all this...   If you'd like my help to build your offer or sales message funnel and even your content machine, go to myofferlab.com.   The path to online and offline success is 80 percent the same regardless of the product, price point or industry, and it works if you're new or already a killer in business.   You can get more details on how to get my personal attention and frameworks in your own business by going to myofferlab.com   In-person classes are limited to 60 people each, and frankly, I can only do about two of these a year. Get more details, and even jump on the phone with us for free at myofferlab.com

Today I want to give you a peek behind the curtain to share with you the reasons why OfferMind …     ..was FREE  the first year       ...will NEVER be free again       … was a very STRATEGIC move on my part   WHAT WAS GOING ON?   People have asked why I gave OfferMind as a FREE bonus to the 30-Day book…   Others have gotten mad that it's NOT free any more…   And one person, (and I totally get this), commented that they hadn’t come to Offermind BECAUSE it was free…   He’d judged the content based on the fact that the event was free.   First of all, OfferMind was NOT a cheap event. Even though it was free, it cost me $80,000 to put on.   We didn't make much money from the whole thing once it was said and done, and I’m totally fine with that…   In fact, making money wasn't the primary purpose of OfferMInd at all ;-)   For you to understand WHY I need to walk you through what was going on in my business life at the time:   I left ClickFunnels in January 2018 I started out selling in the network marketing industry, (which I'm still very much a part of) #secretmlmhacks Around September 2018, I started to wonder about my life’s purpose   “Oh, my gosh... what is it that I really, really, really wanna do?”   I’d identified a place where the market wanted some value. I knew how to deliver that value and I was selling in that space… and it was going extremely well.   I love Network Marketers, but I’d started to wonder what it was that I actually wanted to be known for?   So I started having some deep heart to hearts around finding my purpose and I started future casting 5, 10, 15 years - which isn’t something I usually do.   WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?   I always hate it when gurus ask you to set goals by asking, “What's your life gonna be like 10 years from now?”   By the beard of Zeus…   I don't know what my life’s gonna be like six months from now most the time! I think it's stupid to plan that way.   I think it was Tim Ferriss who said that after six months planning is just guessing... I totally agree with that.   There's some fluidness that I can't have if I  try to plan everything out all the time...   However, as  I learned from Alex Charfen, you need to be able to predict the future in your business so that I know what action to take… and what I need to do to make things come to fruition.   ...I've been practicing this a lot in last six months, and it's been working.   I say, “Hey, here's where we're going,” and then we go there... BOOM, it shows up - which is awesome.   Now…   Back to the PURPOSE question…   I started asking:   What is it that I actually wanna do?     How is it that I wanna move forward professionally?       What do I really wanna be known for?       What’s my natural skill set?       What are am I already known for?       What am I good at?     It's always best when you can build a business around your natural skill set. I'm not saying you have to... but it helps a lot.   I also started consulting with people that I look up to who are my peers and my coaches.   I hire a lot of coaches, guys. That’s one of the fastest accelerants to the game. I get coached.   I know I bring up Russell Brunson a lot... and it’s because I spent two years sitting next to the guy.   It's NOT like I did anything else. I didn't have any hobbies. It was such a fast work pace over there - I didn't do anything else with my life. So, I have two years of memories that I keep going back to.   THEN STEPHEN ASKED RUSSELL THE PURPOSE QUESTION…   A bunch of us were hanging out at an Inner Circle at James Friel’s house.   Russell and Myron Golden were standing side by side, I was on the other side of a couch, and we were talking...   Russell looks over and asks, “How are things going then?” I said, “Good, but I'm trying to figure out what my purpose is?”   (Have you ever asked that question? It's an important question to ask…)   ...the moment those words left my mouth, Russell starts laughing hysterically.   I was like, “It's a serious question, dude. I feel like that's something that you shouldn't be laughing at!”   ...but Russell just kept laughing.   Myron looked around and asked, “Wait, what’d he say?”   Russell said, “He just asked the purpose question,” and Myron starts laughing too.   I was like, “Why are you guys laughing at me? I’m assuming you're laughing because you're telling me it's NOT that big of a deal, but I'm acting like it is?”   Myron said, “Stephen, I only found out what I wanted to do three months ago.”   Russell said, “Yeah, dude, you came in right after I figured out what I wanted to do, #ClickFunnels, but I'd already been in the game for 12 years.”   https://media.giphy.com/media/69qpuTOBTsHTJRcNkW/giphy.gif   I was like, “...that makes sense, and I understand and accept that... but I'm trying to figure out if my purpose something I hunt... or  if it’s something that’s discovered by me along the path?   (Right, that's a good question... you know what I mean!)   ...because otherwise, I'm gonna start brainstorming my purpose and what it is that I'm gonna go do?!’”   My mind will go deep and I’ll obsess if I don't stop myself.   https://media.giphy.com/media/9RWeDFAf07oxT1hgLB/giphy.gif   (There's a lot of power in that obsession... but it needs to be focused on the right thing ;-))   After a while, Russell looks up and goes, “Dude, don't worry about it….   Solve problems for people and create value.   I was like, “Ahhhhh,” and I suddenly stopped freaking out so much.   THE GAME IS MALLEABLE   I loved the FHAT events, and when ClickFunnels decided to stop them; there was a part of me that died a little.   I was like, “Crap, I really loved that event.”   It was one of those scenarios where I knew I was getting the fastest results for people in a compressed three day period.   And so I was like, “I gotta find another way.”   How can I…     Incorporate the things that I'm good at…?       Mix them with the business ideas and the models that I like most…?       Do live events…?     Live events are my jam. I come alive at events and I love that.   I'm bringing this up is so you can start asking these kinds of questions to yourself …   Maybe you don’t know what you wanna do yet...  but I want you to realize that a lot of this is very malleable.   So… think about how you can combine:   Your skill set   A problem   A business model that's proven   How can you take what you do and deliver it to the marketplace?   When somebody knows what they want to do, I'm very good at helping them make that profitable... but when somebody says, “I don't know what I wanna do?”   I'm like, “I don't know how to help you.”   A lot of times people hire me for a consultation and they’re like:   “Stephen, I've hired you so that I can figure out what I wanna do.”   I'm like, “Crap, I should probably refund you because that’s not my role. How on earth am I supposed to put words in your mouth and thoughts in your brain as to what you're gonna dedicate yourself to?”   That's not my role and I never will do that!   When someone knows what they want to sell - I'm very good at making that profitable on multiple platforms.   Honestly, it's the same four or five things that I've noticed work regardless of the industry you're in... and then it's bam, bam, success, success, success, success!   … and then I couple that with a lot of what goes on in the human psyche.   That's what I'm good at. That's what I’m known for.   … and that led me on this journey.   ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS   … so back to discovering my purpose!   I was like, “What is it that I really wanna go do?”   I spoke with a lot of guys that I’m friends with:   My buddy Dana Derricks   Russell   Myron   Dave Lindenbaum   Alison Prince   That's one of the benefits of an Inner Circle.   I gotta be honest, a lot of times I don't participate that much in the coaching. I should... but just the network alone is worth it.   That's why everyone should join a mastermind at some point.   The acceleration is so much greater than anything I’ve EVER experienced - it’s ridiculous.   Quite unanimously, the people I asked saw something in me that I could not see in myself … (which is another benefit of having an Inner Circle that knows you intimately).   I was like, “What is this thing? What is it?”   Julie Stoian started laughing, and she said, “Come on, Stephen, you know what you should be doing.”   I was like, “No, I don't. All of you see this thing that I'm NOT seeing in myself yet. I'm this close and I can't see it.”   (You may be in the same situation too, and I get that. That’s why I’m sharing my journey)   This is me making sure you understand some of the things that I've gone through along the way.   ... most successful entrepreneurs do!   It’s a common theme in Inner Circle meetings - someone will stand up and say, “I'm standing here today because we're making a lot of money, but I don't know if it's what I wanna be doing anymore?”   … that's NOT an abnormal thing to say.   Don't freak out if you have that question - everyone has that question eventually.   So anyways, Dana, Russell, Julie and Dave and a lot of people, pretty much all said the same thing...(and I don't think they spoke to each other).   They're all said, “Dude, you obsess over offers.”   BECOMING THE OFFER GUY   Russell was said:   “Dude, you go so much deeper into offers than anyone I’ve ever met my entire life. You should be the offer guy. Dana Derricks is the Dream 100 guy, you should be the ‘Offer Guy’!”   Suddenly, all these maps and frameworks that I'd been developing came together and I saw the thing that I wanted to do…   I loved doing the FHAT event for Russell, but it was his content, all I did was organize it.   I realized that EVERYTHING I taught had to do with how to create a better offer.   Even if it seemingly looked like it had nothing to do with offers, it actually did, and now...   I wanted my own platform, and that’s how the idea for OfferMInd was born   There were two things that needed to happen in order for me to kill it as the Offer Guy:   I needed people to think, “Stephen is the offer guy!” I needed to capture that market share in people's brains.   So how could I do that?   *This* is why, from a strategic standpoint, OfferMind was free that first time.   There are a lot of levels to this, so I'll just start from here... THE DEATH OF SALES FUNNEL RADIO?   I want to be the offer guy.   iTunes doesn't like it when you go past 300 episodes - so I ll probably rebrand Sales Funnel Radio.   I will probably, (at some point), retire Sales Funnel Radio.   I'm not saying I'm going to... but it's a thought that I'm playing with.   I'm NOT trying to be the Sales Funnel Guy - that'd be stupid. In fact, that would be suicide. Let me ask you a question...   Q: Who is the sales funnel guy?   A: Russell.   It made sense for me to have a show called Sales Funnel Radio when I was a sales funnel builder…   The first 100 episodes are me documenting everything I learned sitting next to Russell.   I'm not that good at speaking in those episodes, and that's okay ... that wasn't the purpose of it.   But from episode 101 onwards, I was documenting the journey to my first million!   Now I’ve done that I'm documenting my journey to the next 4 million.   I think we're on track to hit 4 million this year - I believe we will do it.   There's a shift coming - I can feel it.   BUILDING MY VALUE LADDER   There’s a lot of things at the top of my value ladder that you don't know about yet, but timing matters…   … and it's not time for me to reveal what those are.   You have to understand that in order for me to become the ‘Offer Guy,’ I had to create a new value ladder - which in my mind is a business.   So on the marketing side at least, there’s 100% an entirely new value ladder.   Q: What do I understand very clearly about how to develop new value ladders?   A: I have to start in the middle.   However, I wanna cash flow it like it's at the top... because I have a current business.   I've got a couple of employees and about eighteen 1099s that work for me monthly. I've got business expenses.   My monthly expenses right now are 30 to 40.grand a month - which is fine, I expected that.   … it was part of the plan.   We've been doing over six figures every single month for the last nine months.   Soon our expenses will rise to 40 - 50 grand - it just depends how much we spend on ads.   Anyway, here's the point, and there are a few forces that play here...   WALKING IN CLAUDE HOPKINS SHOES   The last guy to really be the offer guy was Claude Hopkins back in the late 1800s - there hasn't been an offer guy for 100 years! It's been a long time…   For me, that's cool because it means that:   Historically, the banner has been raised historically in the past.   The idea has been validated.   No one is the Offer Guy now.   … which  means that the move I want to make has been validated... and that was one of the things identified I was like, “Oh my gosh, I should go do that.” Back in the day, offers were called schemes.   You’d hire a ‘Scheme Man…’   i.e., What's the scheme? What's the plan? What's the scheme for you to go sell your thing?   Hopkins was a Scheme Man.   Today, that means something different; it means you’re a schemer with a negative connotation...   ...but it didn't mean that back then.   So I was like, “Well, I'm gonna go be the Offer Guy - that's technically a blue ocean. No one is the Offer Guy…   There are people who’ve brought books out... and there are people who’ve said “Hey, do this, this, this,” around the offer -  which also further validates the move.   But…   No one is the Offer Guy!  No one has dedicated themselves wholly to offers.   So those were all great signs for me!   FINDING MY RED OCEAN   The next question I had to answer was:   Q: What red ocean will come out of?   A: Definitely, ClickFunnels   ClickFunnels understand the power of an offer.   Does this make sense? I'm NOT just trial closing you!   Hopefully, you understand why I did this...   I was like, “Okay, there is offer stuff out there, but no ones put it together and become the offer:     Ocean       Market       Guy       Guru     Those are all HUGE signals for me!   So what I needed to do, (with that backdrop in place,)  was capture as much of the market mindshare as possible in people's brains…   I wanted people to think:   “Oh, Stephen really does know what the heck he's talking about when it comes to offers!”   … so how do I do that?   So I started putting together all my content about offers together, but then, I need a platform to deliver it.   I'd been teaching bits and pieces on Sales Funnel Radio   I'd been teaching bits and pieces on other people's stages   I'd been teaching bits and pieces on other people's platforms...   Until OfferMind I’d never had a scenario where I could teach all my stuff… (and literally, it wasn't everything... the audience gave out before I did. I was ready to keep going, we just ran out of time. Two days is not enough time for me to teach my stuff).   However, I was able to teach from beginning to as far as possible:   Ideation   How do I validate the idea?   How do I know if it's a good idea?   How do I know that it's most likely gonna be a success?   What are all the things I can do to make sure that I've got all the cards in my hand to make sure this is a success?   Market positioning   About what marketing is   How to actually create an ecosystem - which we know sits on top of content   Content   It was just fascinating to see all these things come together that I'd already been doing. I realize, “Oh my gosh, there it is.”   CREATING OFFERMIND   I always tend to do better in front of a live audience because I can watch people’s reactions.   I wanted to teach offer creation from start to finish   I  wanted to be able to create lots of content in front of a live audience   I spent three weeks preparing my slides. I did NOTHING else - it was OBSESSIVE. It was fun and I can't wait to do it again… but *HOLY CRAP* it was a lot of work!   Here’s the thing…   I hate crappy events; when I walk into an event it needs to feel like I'm NOT in a hotel.   It needs to feel like I've entered another dimension   ... it's all about the seventh phase of the funnel -  which is to change the selling environment. Then, I was like, “Okay, well, how do I fill the room? I really don't care if they pay...”   I didn't wanna lose money. I just wanted to break even.   So this is what I did…   PIGGYBACKING ON A GIANT   I looked over at ClickFunnels to see what momentum and noise they were already creating…   This is one of the easiest ways to create a lot of cash quickly -     You piggyback off some momentum that the category king in your red ocean market is creating.   This is how I filled the event and made so much intense noise.   I used the 30-Day book to piggyback and ride the momentum of a giant.   I was creating a blue ocean, (and I still am), but if I didn’t take as much market share as possible...   Someone else with a bigger list could swoop in and steal the crown   For Example:   Let's say, Frank Kern, Pat Flynn, or somebody else saw the opportunity and I didn't capture the market share quickly... they could swoop in and claim it.   So it was a game where I needed to capture as much of the market share in people's brains as possible - so that they associate me with being the ‘Offer Guy’.   So when I saw was Russell telling everybody:   “Hey, we got this big summit coming. Hey, it's gonna be big affiliate thing, “  and that's where I gave away a FREE ticket to the first event.   I can't do that anymore, and I won't do that anymore because it cheapens the content now... but in the beginning, it didn't.   So my plan was to…   Ran a BIG live event Made a lot of noise about it Filled it by leveraging the momentum already created by a red ocean category King, i.e., ClickFunnels.   And because of that first event, I was able to...   Capture (as much as possible) the market share in people's brains   Fill the event with people from the ClickFunnels space - all my dream customers   Leverage a campaign that ClickFunnels was heavily backing to people - my dream customers   Validate my stuff in front of an audience and to myself   Get it on camera and repurpose the crap out of it   MAKING NOISEIt's only April - it's only since November that I decided to try and be the Offer Guy.   Q: Doesn't it feel like it's been longer than that?   A: It was by design! I planned this out ahead of time.   I needed to create a lot of momentum, so I asked the questions:   How can I create as much noise as I physically can?   How do I set this up in a way that allows me to capture a large market share? I wasn’t just looking from a market positioning standpoint … I was looking from a marketing position standpoint and seeing:   No one’s the offer guy now   There used to be an Offer Guy 100 years ago   How am I gonna attach myself to reach my dream customer? (I used the ClickFunnels space where I already had some stature...  why wouldn't I?)   How do I get my dream customer to come over to me?   I'm NOT telling them to abandon ClickFunnels - I created a complimentary market.   I NOT trying to be the Funnel Guy, I’m trying to be the Offer Guy - and they work in tandem.   I didn’t throw rocks at ClickFunnels. Instead...   I created a complimentary blue ocean and attached it to ClickFunnels to fill it.   I piggyback off of the momentum that ClickFunnels already had... Gave away a free ticket on purpose just get butts in seats… Told I will not ship their swag to them and that they will forfeit their swag if they don't show up.   … that caused some of the most ridiculous buzz ever. It pissed people off, and honestly, I'm okay with that... because “What happened?”   I got butts in seats   I wanted people to hear that I knew what I was talking about... and that I wasn't some guy who came out of the ClickFunnel riding that gravy train.   ...and it worked.   It was more of a middle ladder move -  even though it's free-ish, it’s still content that I used to launch something at the back end.   Now we're launching more things in the middle, and there's a lot coming down at the bottom of the value ladder.   SO WHY WAS OFFERMIND FREE? The reason OfferMind was FREE the first time was by some serious design.   I wanted to…   Capture that market share Test the core theories that I'd already had success with Go in and show that I was worthy to crown myself as the Offer King   None of my other events will ever be free again - EVER.   I actually pride myself on being very expensive for a lot of reasons -  However, it's not to keep people out.   Man, I was going through my value ladder the other day - I have about 20 insanely valuable things that are FREE. If it’s NOT free, then it’s at the bottom of the ladder.   I’ve got a lot of FREE stuff.   My actual stuff’s very expensive and I don't apologize for it.   WHAT’S YOUR PURPOSE?   So when you're trying to figure out what you wanna do…   First of all, understand that it takes time to figure that out.   It's been like four and a half years that I've been active in this game, (I have to think how old my girl is)...   I started using ClickFunnels right after they left beta. I think it was actually on the webinar right after they left beta.   I was already selling stuff on the internet. I was already building websites with agencies and stuff...   I've been acting this game for a while,  and I’ve just barely figured out what I wanna be and do - I'm the Offer Guy.   I know where my value ladder is leading… and  I've designed it, but it would be a mistake to build it as fast as humanly possible.   Instead...   I  should build it as fast as possible with the constraints of launching with good campaigns.   … so a lot of what you're gonna watch me do here over the next year is build campaigns and launch   is There's a bunch of other stuff that I'm NOT willing to release yet or talk about that stuff afterward -  I know what those are as well.   OfferLab is one of the things that’s come out of this so far - it’s one of the things on the value ladder and OfferMind’s definitely under it.   OfferLab is AMAZING - it’s where I help people build their offers and put all this stuff in place! Go to myofferlab.com to check it out   (The guy who had OfferLab wanted a ton of money… it was insanely expensive.)   So once I know what those things are... it's not enough for me to just build the product... I also need to build a campaign that launches it and an evergreen campaign that sustains it.   Those a lot of things that most funnel builders don't look - they just start driving ads.. and it's okay…   BUT…   You lose out on a ton of money and promotional noise.   … and *that's* why OfferMind was free.   BOOM!   If you're just starting out you're probably studying a lot. That's good. You're probably geeking out on all the strategies, right? That's also good.   But the hardest part is figuring out what the market wants to buy and how you should sell it to them, right?   That's what I struggled with for a while until I learned the formula.   So I created a special Mastermind called an OfferMind to get you on track with the right offer, and more importantly the right sales script to get it off the ground and sell it.   Wanna come?   There are small groups on purpose, so I can answer your direct questions in person for two straight days. You can hold your spot by going to OfferMind.com.   Again, that's OfferMind.com.

This message is the 12th in a series titled “IT Factor”. In this message, Dr. Smilie answers the question, “Why should I NOT fear life’s ultimate plague?”Scripture References: Exodus 12:1-41Have you ever heard someone speak of another who just has “it”? If so, they were speaking of the “IT Factor”. The IT Factor is that undefinable “something” that makes for star quality in successful people. If there was ever a person who had “it”, it was Moses, the friend of God. In this series, Pastor Smilie will help us understand all that goes into becoming people who, like Moses, have the “IT Factor” for successful Christian living.Click here to listen

I'm frequently asked how I found my 'big idea'. Here are some helpful things to consider that should help you land something that you love AND that’s lucrative...   Let me ask you a question...   Are you:   Struggling to identify what you should sell? Trying to validate what you're about to sell?   If you answer ‘YES’ to either of these questions, then grab a notepad and pen... because this could be one of the MOST powerful lessons you’ll EVER learn, so take notes.   What I’m about to teach you is the EXACT opposites what I learned in college.   I’ll probably ruffle some feathers by saying what I’m about to say, but whatever…   You’re also gonna get a sneak peek into my Core Problem Planner.   YOUR BIG IDEA   So what is your BIG IDEA... and how do you find it?   Your BIG IDEA is the one thing that represents the core of an entire business.   The mistake that most people make is that they try to create the problem and then provide the solution.   This was what I was taught at college... and many infomercials are created this way too.   I'm NOT saying it doesn't work, but I'd rather find a group of people who already have a problem.   IT’S SO MUCH EASIER!   You find what problems your red ocean is suffering from already, then you solve a legitimate problem.   So…   Q: How do I come up with my one BIG IDEA? A: I don't come up with it.   (… this was something that tripped me up for a long time.)   Instead: I go to an insanely competitive red ocean, (which is exactly the opposite that I was taught in college), and figure out the problems that they are ALREADY having. Then I rank the problems.   Something that I'll bring you guys through, in far more detailed than I did last OfferMind, is what I call The Core Problem Planner.   YOUR CORE PROBLEM Each one of your businesses should solve a core issue.   So I look at a red ocean to figure out what the problems they're already experiencing.   Remember…   I don't need to create the problem, it already exists.   Then I start ranking the problems against a series of criteria...   BECAUSE not all problems are:   Created equal. Understood by everybody in the red. Something people are willing to pay money for.   If you’re coming to OfferMind, (which I hope you are), this is the stuff I talked about with pictures, drawings, formulas, and maps.   Someone asked me, “Stephen, where all these formulas you’re forever talking about?”   THEY’RE AT OFFERMIND ... just dropping that out there ;-)   So come to OfferMind and you’ll learn:   What to look for in a red ocean. Which red ocean to choose. What an ocean is #period. What signs to look for when you pick a problem to solve. How to create a new offer. How you launch your offer to that red ocean.   It's very granular.   Theories are cool. I love teaching mindset stuff, (that's really my main role with the OFA Challenge).   ...but at the heart of it, I think some of that stuff gets fluffy.   I want:   Formulas Patterns Maps Blueprints   ... that's the stuff I get motivated over.   I'm a geek, man. I'm a geek, but geeks get paid! So whatever…   YOUR CORE OFFER   I love watching Shark Tank, not because I believe in VC funding, I like seeing the ideas people come up with.   ...but lots of times people have these ideas that *they* came up with.   *WRONG*   It shouldn't come from you!   The Core Problem Planner helps you identify the problems that are already being experienced in the red ocean.   Then you rank them according to several things:   How easy can I talk about the problem? (Not the product, the problem.)   You lead with the problem, not the solution.   This is the opposites of what I was taught in college.   So when it comes down to it...   I don't come up with the main idea. It shouldn't come from me. I'm not the one filling my own wallet. I'm not the one who's gonna be paying for this.   What I do is I go into the red ocean, and rank out all the problems... and based on a bunch of criteria, I find what I call The Core Problem.   Which means that my entire NEW…   Idea Blue ocean Opportunity   ... is NOW based on me solving that core problem.   The Core Offer solves The Core Problem.   I'm very methodical about the way I pull stuff out. Just coming up with ‘a good idea’ is too freakin' risky.   I'm an entrepreneur and I'm okay with risk... but I want it to be calculated.   So the thing I've come up with over the last two-three years is how to go identify and rank problem in the red ocean, then create what I call ‘The Core Offer.’   ... that’s what my book will be about, but OfferMind also goes into this stuff.   Day #1: I'm gonna teach this whole framework to you Day #2: We’ve got Russell and Dana Derricks are coming in. I'm talking with Myron Golden (I got a soft Yes, we're just trying to make sure dates are fine). I'm gonna try and get Mark Joyner and Bill Glazer. CREATING YOUR BIG IDEA   I have a very unique take on Offer Creation, but the ‘BIG IDEA’ is not something that I come up with on my own anymore...   The BIG IDEA is fueled by the problems that ALREADY EXIST in the red ocean.   I want to make sure that there’s a genuine problem before I go build a whole freakin' business around solving it.   The BIG IDEA doesn't come from me. It is fueled by those that I hope will buy it, and that makes it less risky.   It means…   I don't have to be a creative psycho genius. I just have to be a detective. I can just understand the frameworks.   It’s a 30,000-foot view.   BECOMING CATEGORY KING   I'm the category king of two different oceans right now. One was accidental, one totally on purpose.   However…   The thing that causes that Blue Ocean is an idea more than a product. The product just fulfills on the idea.   I don't create the problem.   I'm just gonna solve a legitimate problem in a highly competitive red ocean, which means:   A lot of people have that problem… and then, I solve that problem with an idea.   One of the things I've learned is that if I try to come up with the idea on my own, it's almost guaranteed to fail out of the gate.   It's far more risky.   I'm not saying it won't win. I'm saying the chances of it winning are smaller. The blue ocean doesn't exist until you create it by siphoning customers from the red.   ...but too many times this is what happens:   Imagine yourself on an island...You’ve got some knick-knacks. One day, you put all your knick-knacks in a cart and decide to sell them...   Q: Where are you gonna push your cart to sell your goods? A: Where the people already are!   Just because your product is new, it doesn't mean you go to a place that’s new and deserted to sell it.   … but that's what most people do, # no cash in that!   People don’t buy just because:   No one's doing what you’ve done You're different   *THAT’S STUPID*   You have to take your product and push it to where EVERYBODY is already… and it has to be something they actually WANT!   Does that make sense?   Your products don't necessarily need to be that new, but your offer, that's the new thing.   Truly, you could have tons of stuff that people have already sold, but you need to bundle them together as a NEW offer.   Then you sell to wherever there's the most foot traffic # the red ocean.   Your offer product will be blue, but you sell it to the red ocean. CREATING A BLUE OCEAN   Over time, your market changes from the red ocean where all the competition is, to the blue that you’ve created.   You have a new offer that's a brand new that has never existed and you're selling it to an existing marketplace...   But as people buy, you're pulling them (with an idea) over into a NEW blue ocean.   The new vehicle is almost more of an idea than a product. The product just fulfills on it.   As people start to buy, they get siphoned off over into a blue ocean.   So, let me ask you another question...   Q: Is it easier to sell to people who:   Have never bought from you before? Are already your customer?   A: Second money's always easier than the first money.   So as people are leaving the red, (and they're coming over to the blue), you start getting a little pocket of people who are your current buyers.   Whoo, my friend... therein, lies power!   The book Ready, Fire, Aim says that at the start of your business, your main purpose is to get a qualified mass of customers. Then eventually, you’ll want to sell something to your existing customer base that's MORE expensive.   What's cool about gaining a lot of customers quickly, is that it makes any subsequent offer or product that you drop out to them, highly likely to succeed right out of the gate…   ...because so many of your existing customers will purchase it.   Does that make sense?   I am NOT the creator of the blue oceans that I run. I'm the facilitator of the solution. BLUE OCEAN MESSAGING   Think about this:   I'm NOT a professional copywriter, and yet we make really good money.   How do I do that? A lot of you guys know I sell in the MLM space, right? It's real easy to get intense in that space.   Q: Why?   What is the vehicle everyone is convinced gives them success in MLM? What's the method that they are all taught? Talk to who?   A: “Talk to your friends and family.”   So... I'm the anti-red message.   I choose whatever problem that the majority are having… and I become the anti-red voice.   I've never been on a three-way call. I don't do hotel meetings.   … I don’t do any of that crap! I am very anti those methods in my messaging.   I’ve become the anti-red voice of the traditional method that MLM encourages. Q: Who does that call out?   A: It calls out those who are inside the red ocean and feeling the pain of the accepted methods.   When those people hear my message, they perk up and go:   “I didn't know there was another option!”   I don't need to sell people on MLM as a concept, they’ve already bought in… they just freakin’ hate the methods they’re using! HEAD TO HEAD WITH RUSSELL…?   Think about my offer creation stuff...   I sell to people in the ClickFunnels space because they're already sold on things like ClickFunnels.   They're voting with their wallets and not their mouths. However, in this case, I NOT the anti-ClickFunnels voice. Instead, I’m anti the methodology that most people use to get success with ClickFunnels.   I'm never gonna be anti-ClickFunnels. I never gonna throw rock at ClickFunnels. That would be STUPID (all caps).   My Offer Creation is complimentary, NOT competitive to ClickFunnels.   HOW TO CREATE A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS   I've learned that my positioning, (in relation to vehicles, solutions, or products that already exist), is a higher signifier of my success than how good my product is.   That's sketchy stuff for me to say, and I’ll probably ruffle some professors feathers by saying that kind of thing.   But…   I’ve found that people frequently have FASTER AND MORE success when they position themselves in relation to the existing red ocean, rather than make a brand new, prolific product that’s never been seen before…   You can go prolific, but I've seen far more people create success with:   D / F level funnel building skills D / F level, right offer creation /sales message writing Terrible promotion Terrible on podcasting or whatever… A poor attractive character   … when they position themselves with an anti-red message that speaks to a pain point that the red ocean is already experiencing.   … because when the customer sees that message, they feel:   “Crap! I've been looking for a solution... I just didn't know which one I should choose!”   … and then the business who understands their pain becomes the obvious choice and solution!   The book Play Bigger talks about that quite a bit…   I lead with the problem, NOT the solution, and then it’s assumed that I have the BEST solution.   I lead with me understanding what the issues currently are... NOT with, “How can I create a problem so that they'll buy my solution?”   That SUCKS!   A lot of people teach and I'm very against it.   SO WHAT’S THE ALTERNATIVE?   OfferMind is extremely proven out methods and models for causing cash, regardless of price point, industry, or product.   It’ll get you so much closer to launching something that's good enough to make a lot of money than just coming up with something new.   When I'm creating the content for this kind of stuff, I literally walk through my bookshelves and think to myself:   What are the issues that everyone's experiencing? How can I help people identify a red ocean more? How can I help people know what to look for when they have found the red ocean? What is it that people need to understand about the red that fuels the blue? What is it about the blue that makes it so attractive for the Reds?   These are those kinds of questions that I look for.   I read the most geeky, boring, dry books that have ever been written on the face of this planet to try and figure out those answers for you.   I go into deep dives in my Bat cave. My whole floor becomes a studio.   I take out all these legal pad pieces of paper, (it's a lot of legal pads). I write down core ideas. I group them in the corners of the room. I'm studying and doing learning deep dives and remember things I learned at the foot of Russell.   I hate rah-rah... if you guys think I’m a motivational speaker, I'm so sorry, that means I’m failing.   I am NOT a motivational speaker. You might find a motivating, but I'm NOT a motivational speaker.   I don't know why, but for some reason, I gotta be honest with you guys, I used to make fun of live events a little bit.   I thought:   “Oh, they just want money”... or they just get in like this rah-rah state and crap like that.   ...and so I was a little bit of a skeptic.   But then I went to some live events, and I was like:   “That’s like I took two semesters of college and forced it into two days.”   I feel like it's actually how you take a year and force it into a day or two to quickly learn something that would usually take you A LOT of money and time and energy and effort.   I like to dive into patterns and that's kinda my unique ability. When I was in elementary school, I had a hard time knowing what I was good at., and it was an active conversation with my parents…   “Well, maybe you’d be kinda good at this?” “You know what.. it'd be really cool if you could go try this.”   … and I was like, “Yeah, I'm not that good at that.”   It’s not that I had to be good in order to continue pursuing something, but the thing that I kept trying to figure out was like:   “What is it that I actually do?”   *I'm the orchestrator*…   “I don't know how to play that instrument, but y'all want it, and I know someone who's probably good at fulfilling that. Boom! Why don't you come in here!”   ...that's way better. # geeks get paid   Hey,   I know this game can take a few tries to get the money flowing, especially the first time, right? And that can suck.   I also know from experience how frustrating it can be to know your business is just a few tweaks away from your next big payday…   But you don't know what tweaks to make.   I've felt completely paralyzed by that in the past, and it sucks.   I've been blessed to work with thousands of new and successful businesses over the last three years, and two things have really shocked me.   #1: I began noticing the pattern to success is vastly the same, but everyone's spot on the path is obviously different.   #2: I've been shocked and overwhelmed by the number of people asking for my help, my systems, and funnels in their business.   Well, until now I've never had a system or product in my own business to help you build yours.   Now, I'm finally able to be public about all this...   If you'd like my help to build your offer or sales message funnel and even your content machine, go to myofferlab.com.   The path to online and offline success is 80 percent the same regardless of the product, price point or industry, and it works if you're new or already a killer in business.   You can get more details on how to get my personal attention and frameworks in your own business by going to myofferlab.com   In-person classes are limited to 60 people each, and frankly, I can only do about two of these a year.

Thanks for coming back to hear part 2 of my conversation with my brother Ross. Today’s podcast is a continuation of the last episode. It’s been enlightening for me – and it’s dawned on me that this is really the first time my brother and I – NOT being in the thick of madness with our mom or our little sister – have actually sat down as siblings to chat about our experiences – those shared and those that are unique. One thing is for sure – Humor helped us cope and still plays a major role in our relationship. For me listening back to this unscripted and unedited recording, I’m learning lots and becoming aware of memories and misperceptions and each individuals’ way of looking at their circumstances. What a gift…for me, that’s been the magic in reliving some of our madness. I hope it means something for you, too. A storyteller at heart who built a career in writing, media & marketing, Paolina Milana is grateful for the magic AND the madness she's experienced. Her roots are entangled with mental illness and taking on caregiving roles -- something she has come to realize is not unique to her; rather, it seems to be common on several levels among others, especially the high-functioning women who from the outside looking in seem to have it all together. Madness To Magic brings to listeners stories of real world encounters with what we all experience and yet feel shamed to keep silent. Embracing ALL of us is key to tapping into our own power to make all things possible. Special thanks to the creators of the beautiful instrumental you hear during this podcast - Philippa Dowding & Allister Thompson - Original song “Sarah Tiptoes” from their album BIRCHES. Also love to the guy who's the master behind this podcast's production and audio engineering -- Joseph Dean Edwards.

It's compatibility solution is now. They weren't talking like that when i first came out but it means go make a default browser. [9:20] Yeah on windows ten that's what crumbs for sure, right so what we have to say about that here's the thing about this okay that is exactly why internet explorer in windows ten it's so that enterprise and business customers can have backwards compatibility line of business apps. Introduce things leading up to windows seven in the lifecycle next january suggest desktop sure which three you send a help companies get up to speed so that their line of business and are compatible with the new browser and think about it the last of what is the OE is eleven right that's in windows ten that's right, so that was released for windows ten this email back in twenty fifteen, so you are already talking about a browser that is very old that handsome security updates but that's not the rendering engine not the nevada been updated so is not far off base and saying it is just the compatibility tool at this point. [10:20] Alright so let's remove our humble opinion is right okay yeah i'm people who are using it. What takes up space and task fbi router.

Okay okay to sell this is madness take richard dexter your perfectly right your exactly right this is another state my gosh, what is it for our condensed news episode this week we didn't have much space but i will add by the way if you do wanna give this weeks battles headlines good observed that tecdoc then check them out.

[13:17] Yep i know it's going to be a hundred twenty miles away to be able to walk out to my front door and see what was the coolest spacex launch you seen from something that's heavy. [13:28] I'm well last february but it was. The space coast have just become alive again the last shuttle launch was in twenty eleven right that was that lantus and i mean that was over the top mad house the number of people that were down there but falcon heavy kinda brought back the crowds again there were so many people i was watching from up location just east of cape canaveral air force station at thirteen miles launch pad when spacex did the falcon heavy launch right the first ever wanted this fucking heavy and so i was actually only a few miles away from midland the two boosters, so really gotta meet view of that and people were excited i mean there were so many people there and we were there all day long wait because it keeps getting pushed to the end of the window, close the window and, we're excited again a space coast is growing company they just broke ground a couple weeks ago on another company that's gonna build launch rockets from down there so it is fun to see after having seen what happened after shuttle and how much things changed over the last let's now been eight years is eight years here's the summer, and the you know that community is starting to come back alive again because more people are coming in there to do that business and commercial. [14:49] Commercial space is what's doing it and the spacex add, crew demo that was exciting i drove down on friday night for the crew they launch the first ever accrue dragon have when i actually had a dummy and it in the same family actually is cold riley will be a boy or girl what's the rally reply reply reply from aliens i didn't add the last minute they stock this little soft plush or that have lights and hands on it nice and to show as zero but they call it zero go to come to some like what they doing launches but the funny side affects the body as that company has sold out of those plus hes to the point that they don't have any in stock for two months sounds how many people at bottom and, that's coming back home to somebody somebody family who is donating do these things flashed out how to get what is needed for re entry yeah they do splash down so the dragon currently the cargo dragon that spacex launch stick take supplies a space station that is not human rated.

Joel what you tell us what you do in your spare time. [17:39] I would like to know when did you find a cool things you do i have been working on my photography i wanted to know the mean. Yes i know it dogs are asleep dogs and then. I've been working in my old card again which has been on and take your answer something like that so i can come down to seattle. Yeah i think it is nice while now you're getting a new phone i mean you knew camera. [18:14] I'm getting a new phone yes i'm getting a new camera with the phone attached to it when i. The the new hyde nokia nigeria i hear what is the camera on it yet yet who is actually funny i was listening to last week's podcast and um. You should've taken off all the different things the you need a new phone. N this phone actually text i think all of those boxes sometime weather you wanted headphone jack not doing headphone jack twyman the samsung s ten. Headphone jacks and i've been using bluetooth headphones for over five years now. Hey the only the only thing that i keep headphone wire headphones, is for podcasts i need your like the old nokia when's that came with my nine twenty lots of water headphones decent ones to self, let's have the option but i wanted to charge the damn so that you travel. [19:19] Change battery to write about you turn on the phone not on the phone in the flight is it does a little bit of using bluetooth also have the wrong battery but you gotta worry about tryna does your plane and and people trying to get in and out your space and don't have wires yes how much and i don't drive that was actually the reason i bought my first car bluetooth headphones in a plane and i had, my headphones plugged in my laptop and somebody like, i'm on the laptop on the table training like that's it i'm done with wires.

What's that there's room for seven you can be configured for a maximum of seven that's correct the current one of us can figure it for four i okay great. And william shatter said that he'd go if they paid enough compared me being on one of those is worth it to whoever, where can we go to mars if the order we go to mars and painting know he go he want the first passenger for space tourism if they pay him anything book a surprise, is there only i don't know what we're talking about cool things that i do every time but eric eric have you been exercising your liver. Exercising my liver no i have not been exercising my liver because this is going to be eric's first and michele have you been to. [27:21] I think this is gunna be my fourth david one. Richard this will be my supplement i think my eight thirty nine am because i got to spend some mini summit hub done so i think god two thousand twelve was my first official one, can i have a couple of my product group and complex results retire the old guys. [27:47] Okay umm but eric never been to one so what should he expect that i i think the first thing has to be especially if you've been a fan of the microsoft ecosystem for a long time it's just that kind of sensation the first time right on campus in UC the the microsoft sign in front of the building and stuff like that for me that first year was just a venda, can i only had set alarm then see because i'd never been to campus in that i have to attend my first few moments i started getting opportunities go to campus for work related reasons since i am actually flying in the fourteen the thursday before submit them doing some work related stuff on campus on friday and it's just it's the nearest thing ticket. I'm a big dallas cowboys fan for instance, i'm hard the hopeless cowboys fan but i will never forget going to charlotte north carolina with my wife and daughter to watch them play in the christmas eve game against the yeah the panthers and we stayed the same hotel. [28:56] And my wife tells the story edward and get ready go to sleep on friday night, what's cowboys are sleeping up there is thinking of thing, is it gonna on campus and see where we're all the stuff happens that you know about need learned about NEC but you never actually seen been on campus to see it experience that is just the coolest thing it's really. Ok so you get the CI. [29:24] I want to say that because many of them latest behind the doors to see that we have to rinse while we do get a peek in under are NDA, which some of the groups i'm gonna give her the medicine talk about products and stuff like that which i think is to reflect that the trust so many people with that information, i mean i'm sure eric even attended a call right when do the events we have product group interactions with column will be no love something something something concept, except now you're standing in front of the people you said you find the people that are doing and the people you've known on social media and the prince what are you you send your mp so where inside peace is what i am also windows ten devices for it MVP but you know you the people that you've interacted with you through those sessions online forum you through social media are you actually get to put faces and names in the same physical space which is just like us what is the spacing continue, how did i start this change no but in reality i didn't say you were you thinking for this year. Hey prepared to not sleep a whole lot and i'll be prepared to have a whole pile of. Yeah and i am gonna be hosting the girls get together and bring hoodie. [30:48] Sweet same night as the windows developers think that will go there first quarter for dinner then come by for drinks after you were the last year and the year before you can a couple of. [31:01] Yeah did you see that the windows inside and pees are included in the windows to BSCS you but it's a night of my other events i have to both. We're actually paired up with them throughout the week i think not nice why is this year the windows and devices guys are right beside the indian guys, good a size of campus across the highway last year. [31:27] Let's challenge would you give to steve the sessions tomorrow too, yes the intended coming up okay anybody else everything but this years expectations i'm expecting there to be a little bit afraid because i can t deny i don't know why. [31:43] Because there's a movement to remove the clean me pizza region and make it just north america who would be a problem. I have zero problem with people being proud of that heritage of their heritage your country that kind of thing another european guys do it i have zero issue with dad now if. If they are making changes to the program because of the fishing season cost savings and things like that that's a whole lotta wax but i mean weve already seen it call me when i have been part of the program for long enough to have seen some significant changes over the last three orders were is my tenth year so we've seen a lot of changes happened what are the course did that ten years and you know it's very different it's not what we're used to it's not the way we used to do things but you know that, they're a business they have to make changes to it why they don't do that consumer brands anymore you know that kind of loud the main program and also the rationale behind this is a little different we lost or canadian lead last year. [32:47] And they did not replace them what the decision will be made with my american lead the christian right christian and betsy betsy betsy has east coast and canada. N christina covers everything else he replaced dark oh joe went to facebook and i uh, in fact i can't email from christian yesterday was it reduced the term can the amount i did know why we use the term can the sooner i think i do yeah he probably just not replace the position and we had a lot of canadian only programs yeah we will not seen or MVP leader of we will get a lot of busy can you just allow another family the lot these days so she want to know anything even one other place other so it's a it's different. Yeah no yes she didn't wanna don't wanna steven r. can you give me a pink leather from melbourne to there spell that for shit so that's what i'm doing and sorry have country pride. So it's gonna be a private party. [33:57] Ok so no big picture on the stairs with a map of your hotel, why don't we talk little bit about how to become MVP, will it change now okay well can bring enough so in the past you can nominate yourself or you have anybody else nominate you anybody other MVP or just added plan anybody on the planet okay i feel probably people in place who is that anybody with that not using it using a browser would be the first to go to space it they let me. Are you sure you are. I think when it got something special anyways i need peanut needed and based in community contributions. [34:45] I just had to be a window that side or MVP.

We make a lot of money which by the way wont happen, then we have the capacity to modify them know you re feeling five percent of our lord the thing is that you know it all serious, podcasting if there was a time frame that people find podcast was in his demise, no that's not true they're i agree i agree but people on the outside looking in where its over i know that but i think about no i'm not gonna say its because popular people but you started podcasting i mean i give an example tone-in-tone o'brien does him his nighttime show right but it also does a podcast rich eyes and post the NFL network but it does a podcast during the week so. [1:00:32] And some people do there live show on tv video and then post audio is so insane that my podcast so beautiful truly there's a lot going on in the podcast world, that that is really starting to your host and this on your yes we are, i just realized that looking at the address anyway so that was a big silver squirrel in there, you know there was this time the people just start podcast and was just a non paying and it's still not not that is that makes and its not a data type. Exactly because and it's just so what is your experience been so far on a cure with that. What you mean we load experience we've been hosting websites on android for you have been getting service is also known as your ok i didn't realise am. Very often. [1:01:31] Right now if that makes sense i will use create what we get in for free so we life it does i was hosting my audio files on azure, add just using what's called a blog storage basically, when i started to hit some issues with the cost and i am exceeding my freaking out so i basically moved all my stuff to my host. So i got ahold three hundred four episode hosted at my hotel in the directory but not a break in about the three and four but, note hey why did three hundred eleven gears get there any brad pit that out like four episodes year let's play. [1:02:12] But it's funny because i started that podcast before i retired from the navy about four years before i retired an unforeseen that drove my schedule for a lot of different things that was only in retirement that i was able to actually start being consistent, and in fact in that episode three hundred i shared some tips with folks the challenge podcasting is consistency. And doing weekly been consistent always showing up because people want to start listening bai hat there's an expectation there is a relationship and i will i will often have to skip in episodes for some reason it there's one guy in the netherlands a good friend of mine and if i will have no from ham on skype or messenger or something to say everything ok you know because i'm so um. And then the other thing is please get me out there and all the distribution systems so i've been lucky enough to get picked up on itunes i heart radio spotify i'm the google podcast app now in the amazon alexa there's this really cool school called ne pod, yeah i had a hard time get my own skill to work properly but this is nifty. Replying back stuff on you know the audio system digital assistant. [1:03:28] It's a lot of joy when are they gonna the things i can do is calling is gonna be alexa and people who were actually trade echoes and randomly say things to alexa and see what happened to the other guy's house to drop it at your kids, skip the yellow, do you know who is going to bed then when i first put digital assistance in my back office so you're here you can see it but, oops i bought the camera so you can see here i got a google mini i got the invoke and i got on the dot. And the first time i said that data or the info i can't remember which i seriously was away at a conference working covering the conference and i thought i messaged my wife. I'm gonna send some loud music across that thing or something like that never did how many good thinking i didn't but you know that there's a lot of stuff that can be done with these things the stage that's a lot of fun.

Pace pace pace pace pace pace pace but if i think everybody can i see a couple weeks me justin timberlake get a big scratch on the rocks is guys night. Hi.  

I don't know about you, but I completely forgot the Golden Globes were happening until like 4 hours before the Golden Globes started. This meant every big surprise was especially surprising because, you know, I never had the chance to build up and then lose my excitement for the night. So when Patti won, I screamed! When Glenn won, I screamed harder! And when the Fiji Water Lady revealed herself, I sold everything I owned and moved to the woods in order to isolate myself from society and write a great American novel about the Fiji Water Lady. Where was I? Not sure. Speaking of "not sure," who is Dannemora? Why does someone named Kominsky have a method? And is The Wife a Them now? All those answers–and plenty of hyaluronic acid–can be found in today's episode. For more Who? Weekly content, subscribe to our Patreon. There's a weekly newsletter, extra episodes, and so much more.

Panel: AJ O’Neal Joe Eames Jesse Sanders Special Guest: Sean Hunter In this episode, the panel talks with Sean Hunter who is a software developer, speaker, rock climber, and author of “Aurelia in Action” published by Manning Publications! Today, the panelists and Sean talk about Aurelia and other frameworks. Check it out! Show Topics: 0:00 – Advertisement: KENDO UI 0:38 – Joe: Hello! Our panelists are AJ, Jesse, myself, and our special guest is Sean Hunter (from Australia)! What have you been doing with your life and what is your favorite movie? 1:45 – Guest talks about Vegemite! 2:20 – Guest: I was in the UK and started using Aurelia, which I will talk about today. I have done some talks throughout UK about Aurelia. Also, the past year moved back to Australia had a baby son and it’s been a busy year. Writing a book and being a new parent has been hard. 3:22 – Panel: Tell us the history of Aurelia, please? 3:31 – Panel: Is it like jQuery, React, Vue or what? 3:44 – Guest: Elevator pitch – Aurelia is a single-page app framework! It’s most similar to Vue out of those frameworks; also, similarities to Ember.js. 4:30 – Guest goes into detail about Aurelia. 6:15 – Panel: It sounds like convention over configuration. 6:42 – Guest: Yes that is correct. 7:21 – Panel: Sounds like there is a build-step to it. 7:39 – Guest: There is a build-step you are correct. You will use Webpack in the background. 9:57 – The guest talks about data binding among other things. 10:30 – Guest: You will have your app component and other levels, too. 10:37 – Panel: I am new to Aurelia and so I’m fresh to this. Why Aurelia over the other frameworks? Is there a CLI to help? 11:29 – Guest: Let me start with WHY Aurelia and not the other frameworks. The style that you are using when building the applications is important for your needs. In terms of bundling there is a CUI and that is a way that I prefer to start my projects. Do you want to use CSS or Webpack or...? It’s almost a wizard process! You guys have any questions about the CLI? 14:43 – Panel: Thanks! I was wondering what is actually occurring there? 15:25 – Guest: Good question. Basically it’s that Aurelia has some built-in conventions. Looking at the convention tells Aurelia to pick the Vue model by name. If I need to tell the framework more information then... 17:46 – Panel: I think that for people who are familiar with one or more framework then where on that spectrum would Aurelia fall? 18:20 – Guest: It’s not that opinionated as Ember.js. 19:09 – Panel: Talking about being opinionated – what are some good examples of the choices that you have and how that leads you down a certain path? Any more examples that you can give us?  19:38 – Guest: The main conventions are what I’ve talked about already. I can’t think of more conventions off the top of my head. There are more examples in my book. 20:02 – Panel: Your book? 20:10 – Guest: Yep. 20:13 – Panel. 20:20 – Guest.  21:58 – Panel: Why would I NOT pick Aurelia? 22:19 – Guest: If you are from a React world and you like having things contained in a single-file then Aurelia would fight you. If you want a big company backing then Aurelia isn’t for you. The guest goes into more reasons why or why not one would or wouldn’t want to use Aurelia. 24:24 – Panel: I think the best sell point is the downplay! 24:34 – Guest: Good point. What does the roadmap look like for Aurelia’s team? 25:00 – Guest: Typically, what happens in the Aurelia framework is that data binding (or router) gets pushed by the core team. They are the ones that produce the roadmap and look forward to the framework. The core team is working on the NEXT version of the framework, which is lighter, easier to use, and additional features. It’s proposed to be out for release next year. 26:36 – Advertisement – Sentry.io 27:34 – Panel: I am going to take down the CLI down and see what it does. I am looking at it and seeing how to teach someone to use it. I am using AU, new command, and it says no Aurelia found. I am stuck. 28:06 – Guest: What you would do is specify the project name that you are trying to create and that should create it for you.  28:40 – Panel. 28:45 – Panel. 28:50 – Panel: Stand up on your desk and say: does anyone know anything about computers?! 29:05 – Panelists go back-and-forth. 29:13 – Panel: What frameworks have you used in the past? 29:17 – Guest: I was using single-paged apps back in 2010. 31:10 – Panel: Tell us about the performance of Aurelia? 31:17 – Guest: I was looking at the benchmarks all the time. Last time I looked the performance was comparable. Performances can me measured in a number of different of ways. The guest talks about a dashboard screen that 20 charts or something like that. He didn’t notice any delays getting to the client. 33:29 – Panel: I heard you say the word “observables.” 33:39 – Guest answers the question. 35:30 – Guest: I am not a Redux expert, so I really can’t say. It has similar actions like Redux but the differences I really can’t say. 36:11 – Panel: We really want experts in everything! (Laughs.) 36:25 – Panelist talks about a colleagues’ talk at a conference. He says that he things are doing too much with SPAs. They have their place but we are trying to bundle 8-9 different applications but instead look at them as... What are your thoughts of having multiple SPAs? 37:17 – Guest. 39:08 – Guest: I wonder what your opinions are? What about the splitting approach? 39:22 – Panel: I haven’t looked at it, yet. I am curious, though. I have been developing in GO lately. 40:20 – Guest: I think people can go too far and making it too complex. You don’t want to make the code that complex. 40:45 – Panel: Yeah when the code is “clean” but difficult to discover that’s not good. 41:15 – Guest: I agree when you start repeating yourself then it makes it more difficult. 41:35 – Panel: Chris and I are anti-framework. We prefer to start from a fresh palette and see if a framework can fit into that fresh palette. When you start with a certain framework you are starting with certain configurations set-in-place.  42:48 – Joe: I like my frameworks and I think you are crazy! 43:05 – Panel. 43:11 – Joe: I have a love affair with all frameworks. 43:19 – Panel: I think I am somewhere in the middle. 43:49 – Panel: I don’t think frameworks are all bad but I want to say that it’s smart to not make it too complex upfront. Learn and grow. 44:28 – Guest: I think a good example of that is jQuery, right? 45:10 – Panelist talks about C++, jQuery, among other things. 45:34 – Guest: Frameworks kind of push the limits. 46:08 – Panelist talks about JavaScript, frameworks, and others. 47:04 – Panel: It seems simple to setup routes – anything to help with the lazy way to setup? 47:35 – Guest answers question. 48:37 – Panel: How do we manage complexity and how does messaging work between components? 48:54 – Guest: The simple scenario is that you can follow a simple pattern, which is (came out of Ember community) and that is...Data Down & Actions Up! 50:45 – Guest mentions that Aurelia website! 51:00 – Panel: That sounds great! Sounds like the pattern can be plugged in easily into Aurelia. 51:17 – Picks! 51:20 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! END – Advertisement: CacheFly!

(Laughs.) 36:25 – Panelist talks about a colleagues’ talk at a conference. He says that he things are doing too much with SPAs. They have their place but we are trying to bundle 8-9 different applications but instead look at them as... What are your thoughts of having multiple SPAs? 37:17 – Guest. 39:08 – Guest: I wonder what your opinions are? What about the splitting approach? 39:22 – Panel: I haven’t looked at it, yet. I am curious, though. I have been developing in GO lately. 40:20 – Guest: I think people can go too far and making it too complex. You don’t want to make the code that complex. 40:45 – Panel: Yeah when the code is “clean” but difficult to discover that’s not good. 41:15 – Guest: I agree when you start repeating yourself then it makes it more difficult. 41:35 – Panel: Chris and I are anti-framework. We prefer to start from a fresh palette and see if a framework can fit into that fresh palette. When you start with a certain framework you are starting with certain configurations set-in-place.  42:48 – Joe: I like my frameworks and I think you are crazy! 43:05 – Panel. 43:11 – Joe: I have a love affair with all frameworks. 43:19 – Panel: I think I am somewhere in the middle. 43:49 – Panel: I don’t think frameworks are all bad but I want to say that it’s smart to not make it too complex upfront. Learn and grow. 44:28 – Guest: I think a good example of that is jQuery, right? 45:10 – Panelist talks about C++, jQuery, among other things. 45:34 – Guest: Frameworks kind of push the limits. 46:08 – Panelist talks about JavaScript, frameworks, and others. 47:04 – Panel: It seems simple to setup routes – anything to help with the lazy way to setup? 47:35 – Guest answers question. 48:37 – Panel: How do we manage complexity and how does messaging work between components? 48:54 – Guest: The simple scenario is that you can follow a simple pattern, which is (came out of Ember community) and that is...Data Down & Actions Up! 50:45 – Guest mentions that Aurelia website! 51:00 – Panel: That sounds great! Sounds like the pattern can be plugged in easily into Aurelia. 51:17 – Picks! 51:20 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! END – Advertisement: CacheFly!

How could I NOT share this story with you? It's so personal, so embarrassing, but more importantly, its HONEST. I learned in church that GOD is happiest when we use our gifts and talents to do great things, big or small. In this segment I reveal a more personal side of myself to you all. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tyree-wilson/message

A common funnel error is targeting the wrong persona in the red ocean…   Do you have a great product that you know could change someone's life, but you’re not getting the sales you want?  Well, stick with me, because you might just be selling to the wrong people.   In this blog, it's my mission to help you discover the customers who are ready, willing and able to buy your product. In fact, these people are so eager to buy - that you can even be a C-level copywriter - and still make loads of cash. Intrigued? You should be ;-) MY PERFECT PITCH   A few years ago, I got a job as a door to door salesman. I'd walk around knocking doors, "What's up, pest control!"   As the summer went on, I developed a bit of a theory.   I started to notice that when I went to areas that were less affluent - smaller houses, not as much cash - I could get a ton of sales fast.   I was killing it!      Two to three sales a day was good in the pest control business, but I was regularly making six. I'd collect the cash, and we'd spray the houses... I thought everything was amazing. I felt like “The Man."   Every so often, we’d rotate our areas and visit different cities with more affluent neighborhoods where people had bigger houses and more money.   When I'd knocked doors in these wealthier neighborhoods and gave them my pitch, I was shocked to find that I got a lot of rejections.   It was rejection after rejection; I couldn't figure out what was going on. So I decided to go back to those old neighborhoods where the people didn't have as much money - 'cause I knew I could sell them.   Well, at the end of the summer, at least half of my accounts failed. Lots of my contracts refunded or didn’t renew because the people I’d pitched were not able to keep up the payment - even though they “wanted” the product.   I realized that I’d perfected my pitch to sell to people with less cash.   In the meantime, all my buddies who had spent time learning how to pitch to rich people made a lot of cash.   They had fewer cancellations and sold higher value contracts - so by the time the summer was over they were still getting paid on their accounts.   Not only were their customers not leaving, but they were also putting more money in their pockets. I realized that even though I’d been making lots of sales, in reality, I’d been selling to people who didn't have the money for continuity -  which made them far more likely to refund or cancel; leaving me broke and fed up.   Sure, I'd get a lot of accounts, but none of them would stick very long.   I was like, “Crap! How can I NOT ever do that again?” It was  a huge lesson for me. WHO ARE YOU SELLING TO?   Now it probably won't surprise you to you to learn that since my pest control days, one question I’ve obsessed over is “How do I sell expensive things to people who have cash?”   Most of the time when I consult with businesses they have a great product, it’s simply that they're  selling it to the wrong “type” of person.   We know that it's best go sell in places that are competitive (i.e, the red ocean) - because there's security there.   Personally, I combine elements of the red ocean with elements of the prolific and the blue ocean to create a purple ocean offer that’s extremely attractive to your customers.   If you want to learn how I create purple ocean offers, you can find out here. However, If you want to avoid making the same mistakes that I made when I sold pest control, it’s vital that you understand the 3 personas inside of the red ocean…   So let me grab my whiteboard and show you what I’ve figured out!     YOUR “NO DUH” PROMISE   The first thing I look at on any funnel that I work on is its promise.   There are 3 “no duh” areas that people spend money in, and these are HEALTH, WEALTH & RELATIONSHIPS.   So the question that you need to answer is: “Does my product promise results in either Health, Wealth, or Relationships?”   These are the “no duh” places for people to spend money in. They are the basic that everyone wants - they’re like milk or eggs (or maybe tofu if you’re vegan). There's no salesperson next to eggs, right? It's a “no duh” buying experience.   I'm not saying, “go get in the eggs business.” But it's best to choose industries where there’s a “no duh” purchasing experience because this will make selling your product so much easier.   People will spend money on:   Improving Relationships   Improving Health   Growing businesses, investments, and wealth THE 3 PERSONAS OF THE RED OCEAN   In every red ocean and every single industry, not all buyers are created equal - that probably goes without saying, right?   So let’s look at why I made such a big mistake as a door to door salesman.   Let’s look at the 3 types of buyer who exist in the red ocean (i.e.,the proven market) and what motivates the to buy.     THE “DIE-HARDS”   The “die-hards’ are deeply seated inside of their red ocean product.   If you come to a die-hard person and say, “Hey, I got this cool thing for you.”  There not going to be interested. They’ve had success with the product that they use - they’re a fan.   I'm wearing my funnel hacker shirt right now. I'm a die-hard. For me to move away from ClickFunnels - well, it isn’t going to happen.   For me to shift from using ClickFunnels, I would need an identity shift. I would literally need change how I see myself. It’s about so much more than price and value for a die-hard.   If someone starts bad-mouthing ClickFunnels, I get a little hot and bothered about it. I'm like, “Are you kidding me? ClickFunnels changed my life! I'm a product of that product! No. I will never change.”   If you ask a die-hard to switch products - it's a personal insult. THE “BREAK-EVENS”   Let’s use a relationship example here:   Let's say someone goes to Tony Robbins kind of event and that person is someone who's considering suicide or divorce and then Tony flips them around - those people are the die-hards. They’re never not going to love Tony Robbins. They’re never not going to buy his next program coming out. For them to change to someone else would mean an identity shift. It is not likely.   However, a person who goes to a Tony Robbins type event, and as a result, they feel better about themselves - but they don’t experience a massive transformation - they’re a “break-even.”   They’ve not had a massive transformation like the die-hard. They’ve  had a little bit of a, “Oh my gosh, this is super super cool.’ They're probably gonna keep purchasing the products. They won’t be looking for anyone else for relationship advice.   They've had a taste of success, but they don't necessarily “love, love, love” the product like a die-hard would.   For the break-evens, it’s the pain of disconnect that they want to avoid.  They don’t want to go through the struggle of switching services or finding something new.     However, for the break-evens, price and value do have a role to play. If they become aware of a better product that offers more value, if the incentive is enough they will be willing to shift their allegiance. THE “NO OTHER OPTIONS”   Now, let's get to the number ones - the “no other options.”   I’m going to use a health example here:   Have you guys ever had pea protein powder? It’s like whey protein powder, but made from peas. It tastes terrible and the texture is horrible... oh my gosh! But I know it's the best one.   I was read loads of reviews and found out that pea protein is awesome for protein synthesis. I was excited to get some. When it arrived in the mail, I took a scoop, put it in water.   I have a strong stomach. I'm not the kind of guy who throws up or anything, but honestly, “That’s some nasty crap!” I’ve spent 6 months trying to find ways to mask the texture of that crap.   I’m a number one pea protein drinker. I drink that stuff simply because I know it's the best, but I HATE it. I hate that it's the vehicle. I have no customer loyalty that brand at all.   If you can offer me “a super sweet protein powder - that works as well as mine but tastes waaay better - How easy do you think it would be to sell me on that? Super easy, right?   On the other hand, if someone has a protein powder that they love and it’s helped them lose 50 lbs -  How likely is it that they are going to switch? They’re a die-hard - so your chance of getting them to switch is practically zero.   The break-even person who's had some success with that protein, but doesn’t “love it” - well, they may be willing to try it.   For number twos, it's all about price and value; it's not an identity shift. IDENTIFYING YOUR TARGET MARKET   Now let’s go back to my pest control fiasco!   When I was selling pest control, who was I selling to? I was selling to a lot of “break- even” and “no other option” people. There weren't that many die-hards.   I was selling to the people inside the red ocean who wanted to get rid of the bugs. I was selling to a lot of ones and twos, but it was the wrong kind of ones and twos because they didn’t have the resources.   So within the three different personas, you also have then you have levels of different resources. You need to identify “Who has money?” and as who, as Russell Brunson says, …“is willing and able?”   The reason why I want to talk about this issue is that 80% of the time, when I’m looking at somebody's headlines, or doing some consulting - I see that the people creating their messaging to try and convince with facts, figures, and features, and maybe with some benefits…   BUT they're trying to convince the die-hards to come and buy their product.   That's the wrong person to write your copy for... It's the wrong person to write your headlines for... It’s the wrong person to build your product for...   You are not trying to sell to the die-hards!   Your target market should be the people who are willing to hear your message… the people who have no customer loyalty to the brand that they already use.   You need to design your message to sell to the break-evens and the no other options; the guys that are just using a product 'cause they don't know of anything better.   These people just need to hear a new story. They need to hear a new sales message.   That’s the thing I didn't figure out when I was doing pest control until it was too late.   When I started building my first info product, I did the same thing again. I spent eight months building it, and when I tossed it out there, I was selling it to the die-hards.   The people who were like, “Don't you dare make fun of my products and the things I use.” It was an insult to their identity - I was offending them by merely suggesting an alternative.   Once I changed my messaging to hit the people who “hated the vehicle” and “hated the products they were using,” things changed. I made my messages for those people. I helped them throw rocks their old products and showed them a better way.   All they needed was an excuse to switch, and they bought my product.   So if your product is not selling the way you want it to, or you’re designing your sales message, remember to run it through the 3 personas I’ve talked about and check it for fit.   I'm trying to help you guys identify the people “no other option” people because it's not hard to sell to these people.   If they also have the resources, you can be a C- level copywriter, and still sell to these people easily.   They're just looking for something that’s that's different and better to save them from their current vehicle - which mean more money in your pocket.   Anyway.

If you've been following this podcast for a while then you know that this podcast is where we talk about the intersection between the different aspects of health (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual), motherhood, and parenting and tapping into your life's work. If I could sum it up in one sentence it is really about figuring out a way, how we, women, wives & mothers can create beautiful and healthy homes, raise good kids, run successful businesses, make a ton of money and have a meaningful impact on the world, all of this without killing ourselves in the process and actually thrive. Is it even possible? Well, I truly believe it is. At the end of the day, it is all about the right mindset, setting up sustainable systems, and choice. One thing that is coming up again and again in my coaching calls with mothers is the struggle of juggling and balancing everything, and the hardest thing is always raising these kids!! How do I take care of myself, how do I put myself first without feeling like I'm screwing them up?? How do I NOT raise spoiled brats who feel like they are entitled to everything?  Today on the podcast I am chatting with Lisa DiSciullo, from www.parentingmattersnj.com about all of that and so much more.  Show Notes from today's show can be found over at healthbeginswithmom.com/ep-61

Hi hi, good afternoon. Check it. I don't know what that is, it's some of the side of the road. Some side of the road situation here in, wherever it is I am. Near to Selano Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, just left Del Mar and I'm going the place where you gotta go when you need to get into the flow and grow. I'm just in a silly mood, it happens. I can't help it. Lizzy Towers, what's up? Shout out to the amazing Lizzy Towers. I'm so excited. Can I tell the story? I'm gonna tell the story. I want to write about the story and put it on my Facebook. So, Kelly Ann, hey hey. Everybody else say hi. Oh, can anyone guess what the place is that I'm going to? Points if you guess where is the place that you gotta go when you need to get in to the flow and just grow. Well, actually you go wherever your soul tells you to go. But you probably could guess where I'm going, if you know me. You're just gonna figure that out 'cause I go there all the time. Oh, thank you. So let me tell the story about Lizzy, because she just jumped on this livestream and it's the best story ever. Not Soul Cycle. Soul Cycle is sometimes a soul flow place, but I don't talk about Soul Cycle that much, do I? Not the beach. No, okay. I'm like, to me this is obvious. But that's probably because it's about me. So, Lizzy checked me in yesterday. Actually, back story. I'd stayed on the weekend, I decided on the weekend, I wanted to sell one more place to my San Diego event, which is happening tomorrow in Del Mar. The Soul Ships and Money Making day, which is indeed now sold out, so no need to message me about that. But, it was sold out and then two of my inner circle clients, my inner circle clients get to come along at no charge because they're in the inner circle, obviously. So, two of them, then, decided they couldn't come. One already came in New York last week, and she was going to come again. And then, I don't know, something else came along. And then I ended up having an extra space. So, I kind of set the intention that I'm going to have that place filled, and fill that place out, obviously. And I put one post up about it, I think I shared a little video from last week from one of my clients. And then, actually, I forgot about it because I was just blocked away over the weekend doing all the fun things. Of course yoga. I'm off to Bikram yoga in [inaudible 00:02:21]. Yeah, and then yesterday I check in at the hotel here where I'm doing the event, and I'm just having a nice little conversation with the lovely, badass woman, I didn't necessarily know she was a badass at the time, but I knew she seemed lovely, who was checking me in for my room at the hotel, Lizzy. And so I mention that I'm running an event, and of course she asked what it is, and I actually, this is something that I noticed about myself. When people who I consider are not in our world ask what I do, I actually tend to downplay it because I tend to feel like they're not going to get it. So I might say something like helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses online or kind of like a boring version of what I do. But, I ended up just answering pretty straight out, and I think I said something like badass group of women entrepreneurs who want to get their messages out there in a big way, something like helping them to connect to their message and their soul. I don't know what I really said, but it was pretty brave. But anyhow, I went up to my room, and then Lizzy had asked for my Facebook details because she was like oh my god, this sounds similar, this sounds like something I need or I need to be a part of the community. And I told her about the Daily Asskickery, come join the group. So, she messaged me on Facebook when I got up to the room, and she joined the group. And then I went off for a little walk around town to just familiarise myself with where I am. And then, I get a message from her saying, "Hey, I saw on your Facebook the event here tomorrow has one place left. Do you still have that place available?" And I was like "Yup." And she signed up. And I was like holy shit, that is probably the best story ever of somebody finding me and taking action within literally 8 minutes or whatever it is, having never heard of me at all before. And what a fabulous story, I thought that was for so many reasons. So, anyway, I had to share that because it's super cool. Actually, it comes down to you owning who you are, right? Like for that to happen, it's not just, obviously, a reflection on her being a fast action taker and acting from the gut on what felt what right. But for that to happen, I had to be in my energy vibe, and obviously owning my power and my energy. I rock up in my gym gear off a flight, it's not like I'm all dressed up or whatever and camera ready, but I have a certain energy to me that I've chosen to own in who I am over the past several years. And it does show, actually. In fact, even when I went through airport security yesterday, the security dude was like "Are you on TV?" And I get questions like that a lot, and I don't say that out of ego, sounds kine of like an ego thing to say I guess. But it's more to do with, yeah I freaking owned, and I do own it. And I show up for my energy and show up for my business, and show up for my message, and my art. So, amazing things like that, that was a pretty cool story. But so many random, amazing, cool stories like that do happen all the time. And so just a little reminder to, maybe, to really press play on being the version of you who you know you're meant to be. In fact, relevant to that, Mim I'm not sure if you're on the live stream already, but Mim #KatNinja if you're there, drop the comment about the high ticket sales with Super Ease workshop now, that'd be amazing. Because relevant to that, I'm teaching the high ticket sales workshop starting this Friday, is it? I believe. And actually the pre-work starts later on today in the Facebook group. I'm teaching my sales system of exactly how I do my high ticket sales. You can read the pinned comment afterwards, because I've got some things I want to preach and teach on on this live stream today. So check that out afterwards. But I'm teaching my sales process of how I actually do my groups that I send, I guess, in Facebook Messenger chat, when to use a script, not use a script. How I go through a process of actually signing up a client right up to the point of a single sale being over $80,000 and anywhere kind of up to that. And so I'm teaching all that to the point sales stuff. But what I'm really teaching, what I'm really excited about in this workshop beyond that, is that I'm teaching how do you be that person that people do just magnetically, are just magnetically attracted to and want to work with. Well, for me and for my clients that happens on a day to day basis, here on Facebook or wherever on the Internet, because of how we shop and people follow us, and then who we are. And they aspire to work with us and connect in that way. So then if we put an offer out there, the sales part of it is quite easy. But there's also, like the example I just shared of the story with Lizzy is a great example as well because she maybe spent a few minutes going through my Facebook, but it couldn't have been that much because she messaged me already about the workshop so quickly after I'd even met her, right? The Facebook group link's being sent out today. It hasn't been sent yet. So, thank you for mentioning that Beverly. And, like, for her to have taken that action it came down to my energy. And in fact, that's what she said when we spoke about it later. That there was something about my vibe, something about my energy. So this is something that actually, it can't be taught from a perspective of I couldn't teach that somebody who doesn't have it inside of them and who's not that person already. But, if you know you're that person who's meant be a leader and a messenger and that you have powerful work to do in the world, and that you're meant to get it out there into the world. I can freaking show you how access that shit. So it's actually not me teaching anything. It's me helping you remember who you are, get back to who the core of who you are, connecting with your soul, and embody all that is inside of you. So, yeah. I'd love for you to go over to, after this, go over to thekatrinaruthshow.com/highticketsales ... I don't know what the fucking link. Whatever the link is that's in the comment. I keep changing the link every time I say it out loud. High ticket with Super E's Workshop. High ticket sales workshop, I think? I think we should have changed that URL. It's boring. But, the programme itself is definitely the opposite of fucking boring. So, go check it out. It's a live workshop that's happening all online later this week. It's all recorded of course. You get access to everything for life. And then, there's a 7 day implementation boot camp that comes after that. So, now though, these topic that I put down for this live stream. It's time to... what did I even say the topic was? I have no idea. Something like "wake up and live." So, was sharing with some of my emperoress clients, earlier on today, I was teaching my emperoress programme online a couple hours ago from my room, and emperoress is a full week, one on one, intensive with private clients. Incredible, incredible work we've been doing around owning who you're meant to be and the empire they're here to create. And we were teaching on being responsible to your crazy. Right? Taking personal responsibility for the crazy dreams and visions that are inside of you. And realising that, not only you can have the crazy dreams and visions, that it is possible. You wouldn't dream it if it wasn't possible. But also that there's a responsibility to it, right? So it's actually irresponsible of you to not press play on the crazy. Which is cool. But then part of what I was sharing with them, I was sharing with them one of my favourite quotes of my own. And, it's a quote that I came up with a couple of years ago, and it just kind of circles its way back to me pretty regularly in conversation, I guess. And the quote is, and then we chuck it on a little quote image and put it on Insta or whatever. But the quote is "No, you don't need to slow down and breathe, you need to wake up and live." And that's what I was thinking about when I decided to do this little live stream from the Uber. So, here's the thing, right? Most people out there believe that being this kind of person, kind of like a too much person. She's too much. She's over the top. She's aggressive, wants it all, unrealistic, trying to do too much or take too much on. Most people believe think that there's something wrong or bad about that. And you probably have people in your life tell you "You gotta slow down. You gotta take it easy." It's kind of an interesting, contradictory conversation that I have around this with my clients because I literally just got off a private call, private [inaudible 00:09:34] call with one of [inaudible 00:09:36] call clients, where I was very specifically coaching or mentoring her around flowanesse. And getting out of push, and getting out of the hustle mentality, and getting out of the idea that you've got to be doing something all the time. So, there is some contradiction to this, but it's actually understanding who you are at your core. And it's about purposeful hustle, and purposeful hush, purposeful push, and purposeful doing of things. There's never anything you need to do, but there's always action to take. And so what I know for me is any time in my life where I've bought into the story that I should take life slower, I've not been happy. And in fact, it's impacted all areas of my life. Like it's actually caused me to gain weight, or to just be kind of sad or down, or get shitty at people in my life. Those sort of things. Feel less motivated, feel less energised, feel like I need more sleep. And then on the other hand, when I take more on, but from a place of purpose and flow, I come to life. Like, I've been on this current trip here in the US for, I don't even know. It feels like I've been here a while. I come here all the time obviously, but this trip's little longer. I think I've only been here maybe for two weeks. But so much has happened in that two week period. But it's been insane super flow. I've just been having so much fun, the best time ever. I did my client day in New York last week. I've been hanging with some of my favourite people in the world. I've got my amazing epic day coming up tomorrow. The soul shifts day. I've been in beautiful locations, beautiful hotels, and visiting friends all around the country. And it's just been a phenomenal trip, even more than what it already is. And I've noticed that I'm sleeping like 4 or 5 hours a night sleep, which is less than I, typically, would average. And I'm just waking up. I'm not using an alarm. I'm not sleeping that little because I've got shit going or something. It's just that I'm in super flow. I mean that super human state that we all actually have the ability to access any time. And so what I'm saying or suggesting is, well who are you actually at your core and what state do you need to slip into or give yourself permission to access in order to be in your super power, super [inaudible 00:11:31] state. Where you utilising and accessing your magic, and where you're realising that energy is unlimited, time is unlimited, money is unlimited as well. Obviously, all things are available and accessible to you all the time. But what I believe is that in order to access whatever it is you desire and access your power... okay I'm at my destination. Thank you. I'm going to get out. I'm going to get out and then I'm going to finish this for a minute or two, but then I'm going to go. Thank you so much. Thank you. Bye. Have a nice day. You too. Alright. Hopefully I've come to the right place. Here I am. Just Hot Yoga and Pilates. Okay. Little shout out for that business that I've never been to before, so hopefully it was worth shouting out. What I've realised is that in order to access that power and access that super flow, I've got to be who I actually am at my core, right? And I'm not somebody who wants to do one thing at a time, or have one fucking niche for example. I'm multi-passionate. The niche is fucking me. The niche is not I teach on success or I teach on pressing or I teach on business or whatever. And I want to do all the things all the time, but I also know and fully understand that I can do nothing at any time, right? And to me, that's what waking up and pressing play is about. It's about getting out of the story that there's ever anything that you gotta do. That's there's a right or a wrong way. That the way anybody, even someone who you look up to, whether it's me or someone else, that their way is right for you. It's about what if you gave yourself full permission to be you from the inside out, and own and embody all that you are. So, I just wanted to come real quick today from my Uber drive and just take that time to share some thoughts with you that have been on my mind. I would love if you leave me a comment if it was helpful. Let me know. Share what comes up for you. And there was one more thing I was going to say. Yeah, I guess the big take away from that is what do you need to embody that's inside of you. And if you know that part of that is the leader inside, and you that that leader is here to make a fuckload of difference, impact millions, make millions, change the world. Then maybe now's the time to get over to my high ticket sales workshop with Super E's. This is so much more than me just showing you how I sell high ticket into the tens of thousands of dollars per sale. I'm going to give you all that, show you all that, help you to make your own process and script, and offer, and all that stuff as well. Script is a funny word. You have to read the sales pitch to understand what I mean there. But really what I want to do is I want to help you dig into your soul and access that woman or that man who's inside of you to where, when you walk into a hotel or when you go through the airport, when you stand there in yoga class, wherever you are, that people are like "who is that?" Right? She has an energy, she has a vibe. Is she on TV? Or what does she do? Or she's interesting. Or I want to connect with her. You know that's inside of you. Let it the fuck out. Don't forget. Life is now. Press play.  

A family member asks, "What do I do now? What do I say? What do I NOT say?" We hear from CeDAR's Alyssa Dreher and Kimberly Thompson about family recovery.

These are the questions I had for myself before I embarked on my solo travel trip. Many of you who are thinking of doing something similar probably have the same questions, so I hope this helps calm some of your nerves! A few of them more more specific to me (e.g. what to do with podcasting equipment), but I included them anyway in case it helps you.    This is part 1. Part 2, which will be the answers to the questions YOU submitted, will be out next week. Is there anything you want to know about prepping for long-term solo travel? You still have time to submit questions! Email me: annanwildman@gmail.com and I will answer your question in the next episode!    BECOME A PATRON: patreon.com/nobullpodcastMY SOCIAL LINKS:Follow me on Instagram: @annawildmanTweet at me: @wildmannaEmail me: annanwildman@gmail.com Read my blog: annawildman.blog YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/annawildman Intro/outro music by Ellis Delta: soundcloud.com/ellisdelta QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:  What should I do with my apartment?  I debated renting it out on Airbnb or sub letting it, but I ultimately decided to end my lease because it’s more freeing and less stressful.  If I had kept it, then I would still have ties to NYC and it would have been stressful managing the renters.  What should I do with my podcasting equipment?  I sold my big Yamaha mixer, left my mic stands, and bought a Zoom H6 for portable recording.  Yamaha MG10XU mixer: www.amazon.com/Yamaha-MG10XU-10-Input-Stereo-Effects/dp/B00IBIVL42 Zoom H6 recorder: www.amazon.com/Zoom-H6-Six-Track-Portable-Recorder/dp/B00DFU9BRK What should I do with my phone? I researched international phone plans with AT&T because I still had to pay off my iPhone: I was on installment plan, and had to pay off about $600. AT&T doesn't unlock your SIM card unless you pay off the whole phone.  Researched other phone plans: with T-Mobile, Verizon, etc.  AT&T also offers an option where you can cancel the phone plan for 6 months and pay $20 or so a month, and then they reactivate it automatically after 6 months. I considered it, because then I wouldn’t have to shell over $600 immediately, but in the end it didn’t make sense to pay extra money on top of the installment plan when I’m not even sure if I want the account reactivated.  Decided the best option was to just pay off the phone and get local SIM cards when abroad.  It's really easy to get SIM cards when abroad: at airports & stores in big cities   How much money should I save? Don’t really have an answer for this, but I would say to save at least 10 grand if you want to travel for a while. And keep a few thousand in your savings account so you don’t go completely broke.  I had about 20 grand in checking account. Left $5000 in savings.  What should I do with all my stuff? This was actually really hard for me since my family is in Japan, and my sister is in Vegas.   I considered putting my stuff in storage, but that’s too expensive.  I sold most of my stuff: bed, dresser, tablet, mixer, blender, mirror, yoga mat.  I donated/sold my clothes: selling clothes was TOUGH. Only made like $70 and I donated pounds and pounds of both clothes and shoes.  I gave away my kitchen stuff.  Facebook Marketplace is REALLY good for selling.  I also sold stuff on eBay and Craigslist. Ebay is good for when you have something obscure (like a mixer), but they take a big cut of the commission. Craigslist is good for furniture.  Should I book the hostel and then flights first? Or what is the best order?  I like to book the flights a bit in advance and the hostels last minute.  Flights tend to get more expensive anyway, so I like to plan those at least a little in advance (maybe a week or 2).  I book hostels a day or so in advance. I like to do it last minute because if you do it too early you could meet travel buddies who you want to book with, or you may want to arrive a few days later, or you may get recommended a different hostel by someone you meet along the way. If you book too early, you’re stuck with that decision and it allows for less flexibility.  Is it safe to travel alone?  Every country and city I’ve visited have been safe, but I’m also not doing anything stupid. I’m watching my stuff, not staying out late at night alone, and not getting super wasted with strangers. Walk confidently and try to memorize directions as much as you can so you’re not looking like a total lost puppy staring at your phone.  Stay alert, but most places are completely fine.  Is it easy to meet people?   Yes, as long as YOU are willing to make the effort to. Stay in hostels. This is the best way to meet people. And if you want to make friends, be friendly. Smile, say hi when you walk into your room. Go up to strangers at breakfast/dinner and ask to sit with them. Don't worry: THEY WILL SAY YES. The easiest is always at happy hour, when everyone is more chilled out and in the socializing mood. You don’t have to drink to meet people, but go to the happy hour anyway just to meet people.  I’ve found that hostels with a good common area or bar are best for solo travelers. I never book hostels if there isn’t a good-sized common room (unless it’s at a city where I’m just stopping briefly and don’t care about meeting people). You can tell from photos/reviews if the hostel has one.  Do tours!! Walking tours, boat tours, pub crawls, hiking, anything. This forces you to be in a group. People are open and WANTING to meet new people in these settings, and you’re guaranteed to make a new friend or three.  Solo dining is a good way to meet people as well, ironically. If it’s a busy restaurant, they’ll seat you with a group or a group will be seated with you. Then you’re forced to talk to each other and you end up becoming friends. It’s nice!  You can also meet people on buses: a lot of overnight buses/long trips will have other backpackers on it, especially if it's to a popular destination. I don’t really meet people on buses because I'm usually not in the mood to, but it's definitely possible.  Should I get travel insurance?  I wasn’t sure if travel insurance would be worth it, but after a bit of contemplation/research, I decided to buy it.  I went with World Nomads because it has a good reputation with long-term travelers and backpackers.  World Nomads: www.worldnomads.com/travel-insurance/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqpHbmJPU2QIVDCS9Ch3huwaMEAAYASAAEgItsvD_BwE I haven’t used it yet, but you never know. I’ve seen a lot of people get in motorcycle accidents, and TONS of people have gotten sick from food, dehydration, etc.  Get it to be safe.  Should I get vaccinations?  I didn’t think this through enough before I started traveling. Don't be like me! I also had no idea what vaccinations I’ve already had. Make sure you research your medical records so you know what you need before you go.   I got my vaccinations in Taipei, which wasn’t a bad idea since it’s cheaper than getting it in the US (even with insurance). I got a typhoid, Hepatitis A, and tetanus shot for around $110 total.  How big of a backpack should I buy? I have an Osprey Porter 46 liter backpack, and it’s really a good size. I’ve seen people with HUGE backpacks: 70 or 80 liters, and it is just too much. You really don’t need that many clothes.  My backpack: www.amazon.com/Osprey-Porter-Travel-Backpack-46-Liter/dp/B00OKE68PS Once you start backpacking, you realize that no one cares about their appearance. No one wears make up, and everyone wears the same clothes every day. You don’t need to bring your entire jewelry collection or make up kit. Trust me. You may THINK you need to bring it for “special occasions,” BUT YOU DONT. THERE WILL BE NO SPECIAL OCCASIONS!!!  What should I pack?  Depends on what part of world you’re traveling to, but for SE Asia:  A few shirts, shorts, a pair of jeans, leggings, sweats, swim suit, flip flops, sneakers  Light jacket for colder climates  Toiletries, DIARREA MEDICINE, allergy medicine  Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat Sarong for temples/beach  Quick-dry towel  Sleeping mask/ear plugs for hostels B12 (if you’re vegan or B12 deficient) What should I NOT pack?  Lots of jewelry/make up Extra shoes/sandals (you only need walking shoes, running shoes, and flip flops) Some logistical things to take care of before you leave:  Cancel gym membership  Tell landlord Tell roommate  Research visa requirements for countries I want to visit  Change permanent address Cancel electricity/gas/internet Cancel phone plan  Buy enough contacts to last a while

One of the biggest challenges moms complain to me about is catering to everyone's dietary needs or preferences in the family. I hear questions like, How do I NOT make more than one meal for my family? How do I make my kid eat what we eat? How do I get my picky eater to try new foods? I get it believe me. I also have a picky eater at home and it is definitely a challenge to not only make a healthy meal but actually get this food in her mouth without coercion, threatening or punishment. I believe that feeding, as well as parenting, has got to be done in a respectful manner with understanding, compassion, grace, and patience. I hear many moms complain that they are not enjoying to be in the kitchen, that they hate cooking. A lot of it is not really because they hate cooking, but actually because they've never learned to cook, which in my belief is one of the most important skills to learn ourselves and teach our children. Let's start by saying that if you are not enjoying cooking in general, or that you are dreading spending time in the kitchen this activity would seem both laborsome and a lot of hard and not fun work. No judgment here, I admit that I don't LOVE cooking, I do it because I choose to. You know that I am a huge proponent of sustainable living and this is true with regards to eating and feeding as well. If you find yourself repeatedly struggling and dreading mealtime then you have to ask yourself, WHY? What about this time of day is making me feel this way? Is it because I did not prepare ahead of time? Is it because the recipe I've chosen Is too complicated, has too many ingredients and steps? Could it be because I am too slow in the kitchen? Or is it because there is too much chaos around this time every day? Even as a nutritionist and a health nut myself I don't think it is necessary to overcomplicate food, especially the weekly meals. I enjoy cooking, but you will not find me during the week cooking elaborate meals with more than 10 ingredients, and I'm also not afraid of repeating meals and eating the same food the next day (with the exception of salads of course). Whatever I have to do to streamline this process for myself, make life easy for myself, I do it. So, yup, today we're having the same rice with chicken like yesterday, yes we're having soup, again. Remember, you are not only their mom, you are also the leader, and it is important to assert yourself with confidence consistently. This way they are learning that they can trust you, that it is OK to wait until the food is ready, that they are not going to die. I love talking with other nutritionists and dietitians who also work with moms and pick their brains on how they approach these issues. So, Today I am talking with Jodi Danen, who is a wife, a mom of two, a registered dietitian and the founder CreateKidsClub.com, where she educates parents on healthy eating & cooking skills. She is also the creator of Lunch Bites school lunch note cards. These lunch box note cards feature positive notes or acts of kindness on the front with jokes and facts on the back.

Are you sick of running a business by the norm?   Do you want different as in WAY more, but are just stuck?   On my latest podcast, I sat down with Pat Rigsby, author, fitness biz coach, and creator of, “Build Your Ideal Business.”  He shared some killer strategies that I can’t wait to share with you!   Get out your pen today- we’re going to be journaling. Let’s dig in on how to start OWNING YOUR LIFE instead of letting LIFE OWN YOU.   STEP 1: BRAIN DUMP   Take some time to brain dump the following: - What do I want my business to be like?  - Who do I want to work with?  - What kind of role do I want to play in the business?  - What kind of role do I not want to play in the business?  - What kind of income do I need to generate to meet both my needs today, but then security needs down line?  - What do I want to be spending the bulk of my time doing? - What kind of schedule do I want to work?   STEP 2: VISUALIZE WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE TO YOU   Answer this: - I’ll be successful when _______________________. - What am I willing to do to get there? - What am I NOT willing to do to get there?   Now, lets think. Does what you do right now get you to those things? If not, it’s time to find a different approach to get to your desired destination.    If not, change it fast.   STEP 3: LEAD WITH PRINCIPLES   Get intentional about your roles in life and live by that. Let others know that’s how you live too.   Be SO clear on what you want your life to look like that the things you don’t want to matter won’t.   STEP 4: EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY   You are not in the “I host workouts” business, the “kettlebell” business, or the “deadlift” business. You’re in the “Hey, I helped somebody become the best version of themselves” business.   Who do you want to be?    I choose visionary every time.   STOP being in the business of hosting classes and START being in the business of VALUE.   STEP 5: GET FASCINATED WITH SALES AND MARKETING   Sales and marketing aren’t going anywhere.. kind of like the internet. You own a business- start doing it right.   At the end of the day, nothing happens until you make a sale. You can’t help anybody and if you are unwilling to get good at that stuff, then this isn’t a career, this isn’t a business, this is a hobby.    STEP 6: MARKET WITH VALUE   See the world from your tribe’s eyes. Step into their shoes and start painting a picture.    Deliver a great experience and make sure that every day more people try your experience.   Create your life and your business.  Go out there and keep thinking about how you can imagine and reinvent and do the things that are going to push you and your dream and your vision forward.    You can create anything you want so that we can go out there and illuminate the lives of the people that are looking for us to help serve them.    If you like this and want to hear more, head over to my   And don’t forget to go give my man, Pat Rigsby some love over at PatRigsby.com.   See you next time. - V

I’m always so excited to have today’s guest, Gabrielle Bernstein, on Earn Your Happy, but today is even more exciting because we’re talking about her Spirit Junkie Digital Master Class – the class that undeniably took my business (and life) to a whole new level. So often when people have a pull to do something “more”, they automatically respond with, “Who am I to do this?” But really the question that should be asked is, “Who am I NOT to do this?” To nip these thoughts in the bud, one of Gabrielle’s foundational components, trains you in confidence. It’s your time to rise up and the only way to build that confidence is to practice clearing the fear and blocks from your path. One fear that comes up often is unapologetically making money while remaining spiritual. “Earning for our great work is also a great opportunity to invest in our well-being so that we can continue to do the work we’re here to do.” In Gabrielle’s teachings, she’s crafted her program to be equal parts spiritual and business growth and business training. She hopes to bust the myth that you can’t make money AND be spiritual at the same time. “We have to do the spiritual work to clear the belief systems that hold us back from our earning capacity and hold us back from stepping into our light.” Honestly, I understand this 100% because I, like many of you, was in this same position not that long ago. And it wasn’t until I shifted my way of thinking (with the help of Gabrielle’s Spirit Junkie Master Class) that my business and life catapulted to places I’d only dreamed. I was ecstatic about all the things that seemed possible to me. New opportunities were appearing, left and right! “Change the way you perceive abundance, then abundance can flow.” I cannot tell you how TRUE this statement is. “When you’re in alignment with inspiration, joy, excitement and enthusiasm, you become a magnet for opportunities.” So maybe you have the ideas, but you’re afraid that it’s already been done before. You’re right, it probably has. But that doesn’t mean the world doesn’t need more inspiration from people like you! “There are far more people in need of that inspiration than there are people doing it.” Just make sure that the work you’re doing lights you up from the inside out. If you’re excited about creating your content, trust and know that other people will get excited about it too. The Spirit Junkie Master Class helps you connect with the spiritual side of this process while also allowing you to get laser-focused and successful with the business component. Make sure your energy is aligned with your inspiration. “Your most valuable currency is energy. If your energy isn’t clear, joyful and inspirational, then you won’t be a magnet for more of that.” If you’re feeling like you have a message and you want to be unapologetic about sharing that message with the world, I highly recommend joining the Spirit Junkie Digital Master Class tribe. See the resources below to sign up and to receive a very special bonus offer from me. I could not be more grateful for Gabrielle and this course as it pushed me to the edge. She gave me richness and deep roots that gave way to the freedom to take my business to new and different places.

This week we reflect on the readings for this week in year A, which is the sixth Sunday in Epiphany: Deuteronomy 30:15-20, 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 and Matthew 5:21-37. Show Notes: According to Gowan (1998), the prophets to ancient Israel did not preach a legalistic message of moral reformation but an evangelistic message of faith in the God who raises the dead. From the first days of the human race in Eden, the curse threatened against sin is "dying you shall die," and the same curse hangs over Israel after Yahweh cut covenant with it at Sinai. The message of the prophets is not, "Israel has sinned: therefore, Israel needs to get its act together or it will die." The message is, "Israel has sinned; therefor Israel must die, and its only hope is to entrust itself to a God who will give it new life on the far side of death." Or even, "Israel has sinned; Israel is already dead. Cling to the God who raises the dead." This is precisely the prophetic message of 1-2 Kings, which systematically dismantles Israel's confidence in everything but the omnipotent mercy and patience of God. -Peter Leithart Some Protestants don’t view Roman Catholics as Christians, and won’t acknowledge the Roman Catholic Church as a true church. A Reformational Catholic regards Catholics as brothers, and regrets the need to modify that brotherhood as “separated.” To a Reformational Catholic, it’s blindingly obvious that there’s a billion-member Church of Jesus Christ centered in Rome. Because it regards the Roman Catholic Church as barely Christian, Protestantism leaves Roman Catholicism to its own devices. “They” had a pedophilia scandal, and “they” have a controversial pope. A Reformational Catholic recognizes that turmoil in the Roman Catholic Church is turmoil in his own family. -Peter Leithart Let us try to draw out the essential points of this conversation in order to know Jesus and to understand our Jewish brothers better. The central point, it seems to me, is wonderfully revealed in one of the most moving scenes that Neusner presents in his book. In his interior dialogue Neusner has just spent the whole day following Jesus, and now he retires for prayer and Torah study with the Jews of a certain town, in order to discuss with the rabbi of that place—once again he is thinking in terms of contemporaneity across the millennia—all that he has heard. The rabbi cites from the Babylonian Talmud: “Rabbi Simelai expounded: ‘Six hundred and thirteen commandments were given to Moses, three hundred and sixty-five negative ones, corresponding to the number of the days of the solar year, and two hundred forty-eight positive commandments, corresponding to the parts of man’s body. “‘David came and reduced them to eleven…. “‘Isaiah came and reduced them to six…. “‘Isaiah again came and reduced them to two…. “‘Habakkuk further came and based them on one, as it is said: “But the righteous shall live by his faith”’ (Hab 2:4).” Neusner then continues his book with the following dialogue: “‘So,’ the master says, ‘is this what the sage, Jesus, had to say?’ “I: ‘Not exactly, but close.’ “He: ‘What did he leave out?’ “I: ‘Nothing.’ “He: ‘Then what did he add?’ “I: ‘Himself’” (pp. 107–8). This is the central point where the believing Jew Neusner experiences alarm at Jesus’ message, and this is the central reason why he does not wish to follow Jesus, but remains with the “eternal Israel”: the centrality of Jesus’ “I” in his message, which gives everything a new direction. At this point Neusner cites as evidence of this “addition” Jesus’ words to the rich young man: “If you would be perfect, go, sell all you have and come, follow me” (cf. Mt 19:21; Neusner, p. 109 [emphasis added]). Perfection, the state of being holy as God is holy (cf. Lev 19:2, 11:44), as demanded by the Torah, now consists in following Jesus. It is only with great respect and reverence that Neusner addresses this mysterious identification of Jesus and God that is found in the discourses of the Sermon on the Mount. Nonetheless, his analysis shows that this is the point where Jesus’ message diverges fundamentally from the faith of the “eternal Israel.” Neusner demonstrates this after investigating Jesus’ attitude toward three fundamental commandments: the fourth commandment (the commandment to love one’s parents), the third commandment (to keep holy the Sabbath), and, finally, the commandment to be holy as God is holy (which we touched upon just a moment ago). Neusner comes to the disturbing conclusion that Jesus is evidently trying to persuade him to cease following these three fundamental commandments of God and to adhere to Jesus instead. -Benedict XVI

What is with the advice "just be yourself'? I remember hearing that and thinking...what am I NOT being? How is this supposed to be good advice. It wasn't until I realized that the majority of my actions were driven by a desire to be accepted by others, that I learned what it meant to be myself. In this episode, I explain why the advice "just be yourself" is baloney, and how you can start to "be yourself." If authenticity is the name of your game here, and you're struggling with how frustrating people are and how they don't seem to "know" you, this episode will be right up your alley.

Vicki Adrian brings a daily dose of inspiration and education for entrepreneurs and savvy retailers! Today we’re going to focus on my Monday theme: Financials. Now, this might be the part of your business that really gets you excited, but it is not my favorite thing! Here are some of the things that I like to focus on on Mondays. Payroll information is due to our accountant by noon every other Monday, so this get’s top priority. Get Bills ready to pay – Our bookkeeper comes in on Monday afternoons to write checks for the week so I need to have paperwork ready for her.. Look at Bank Accounts online – We really should be looking at our accounts more than just once each week, but on Monday, it is on the list and must be done! I take a hard look at our sales recap from the prior week, and compare to the previous year…are we trending up or down? Was the weather a factor? Did we have a similar event that brought people in? Where are our numbers for the quarter? Year to date? Previous year comparison? Set and/or re-adjust the sales goals for the next few weeks. I try to do this about once a month rather than on a weekly basis. Sales goals should always be top of mind though, so we are looking at them daily! I do have a form that we track our daily sales on, and would be happy to share it with you…just send me a request via email: Vicki@RemarkableRetailer.com. I have 3 ring binders with several years sales totals, and go back 3 years when setting our new sales goals. I meet with our accountant about once a month and if we can possibly meet on a Monday, even better! We also place orders on Monday. After a busy weekend, while things are still fresh in our mind…plus many of our vendors can ship right away and we’ll have the product by Wednesday or Thursday…in time for next weekend’s sales. Monday is also a day for tackling the email inbox, the real mailbox, and to get re-organized from the weekend. It seems like things can really pile up after the weekend! Just as important is…What should I NOT be doing on Monday? Jumping between social media sites, running to the post office, rearranging the store, etc. I hope this week's Episodes will help you to set a goal of focusing on particular parts of your business each day, rather than jumping back and forth between things all day long. I really feel that it helps to MAXIMIZE your time each work day. I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on Theming Your Days...Please send me an email at Vicki@RemarkableRetailer.com or head over to our website at RemarkableRetailer.com AND join our community at Facebook.com/RemarkableRetailer Thank you for joining us! ~Vicki Adrian Vicki@RemarkableRetailer.com

There was a fair bit of searching for a topic this week as our original idea fell through (a topic to be picked up later). That left Matty scrambling to figure out something for us to talk about. Scouring Netflix, he noticed that Wolf of Wall Street was added and thought "Hey, let's do office movies!" which Stevil quickly informed him "Uh, dude? It's a major stretch to call that movie an 'Office movie'." Was Stevil crushing dreams again for a second week in a row? No, he gave the option of changing the topic to excessive films, but it was too late as Michaela threw down her choice. It was then finalized, this week would be Office films.   Here's what the Cinephiles had to say about their films:   "When the topic of 9 to 5 films was first proposed, Matt and Steve engaged in an epic battle over what films truly fell in this category. Do they need to take place mostly in an office? Can they just be surrounding people's working lives? I decided to go as literal as possible to settle the dispute and picked Nine To Five. I love this film, even when it veers into the realm of the ridiculous. Not only is it funny, but it's also a timely and largely still relevant look at women's struggles in the work place and their battle against the dreaded 'glass ceiling.'" - Michaela @avidcinephile   "There are really so many great and forgotten films that revolve around the office. Secretary, Swimming With Sharks, Boiler Room were circling around in my head, but I decided to go with an iconic 90s film with some powerhouse acting. Glengarry Glen Ross is an absolute clinic of some of the greatest character actors of the time and all around a brilliant David Mamet script. How could I NOT choose this one?" - Steve @thestevildead    "Office Space was a movie I wanted to see the minute it was released on video. Being a huge Mike Judge fan I wasn't prepared for not how funny, but how sad the day in the life of a typical office worker was. I immediately wanted to stay in school and never work in an office." - Matt @mattydub604   What is your favorite office movie? Do you or did you enjoy our picks? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think in the comments below! We leave you with this little ditty! Thank Michaela....   http://youtu.be/a8MWAfETtEY   There are our Staff Picks of the Week: Stevil had some family movie time with the kids recently and decided to bring some fun for all ages this week with an Aardman gem. Pirates! Band of Misfits is a fun little movie that definitely fell far below the radar but is a fun watch for kids as well as some great adult jokes thrown in throughout. They don't make movies like this very often!   Matty is full of disappointment this week as two films he was looking slightly forward to ultimately crapped the bed. Firstly A Million Ways To Die In The West, which suffers from all the best bits of the flick being crammed into the trailer. Also adding that Seth MacFarlane is a terrible leading man which even your great ensemble cast can't improve on and you have a lame ass comedy. Just go watch Blazing Saddles.   His other "Oh God, don't watch this!" pick was probably pretty obvious to a large majority of people. Transformers: Age of Extinction is Michael Bay returning to blowing stuff up, nonsensical plot lines and character motivations with in your face product placement peppered in constantly. It was so bad Matty couldn't even finish it! That's got to be bad!    

LISTEN.      I remember it well- the first time I heard the phrase “Freemason”.  Sure, it came from an uneducated mouth at a college party, but it was enough to make me rush to Google for enlightenment.  My 20-year-old brain couldn’t believe what it had read.  Masons seemed to be a real-life shadowy cabal of powerful men linked to basically every major event that lead to the establishment of the United States.  It's well known that George Washington, Ben Franklin and and a slew of other founding fathers we worship were members of this secretive fraternal order shrouded in creepy symbols, weird phrases and secret handshakes.  How could I NOT have known this?  Then I came across the claims that masons were devil worshipers, prayed to idols and practiced black magic.                                                                         (OMG THEY'RE TOTES WATCHING US RIGHT NOW) After a couple of months of being sufficiently freaked out, I gained enough reliably sourced knowledge to see that the truth (as usual) lay somewhere in the middle.  No, “they” don’t orchestrate world events, worship the devil, or practice black magic (I don’t think).  So what do they do?  Well, a lot of it has to do with networking.   Imagine yourself in the year 17-hundred-and-something.  You’re an English well-to-do sort and you’re about 310 years short of Linkedin being a thing.  Wouldn’t you want to belong to an exclusive, secretive club of like-minded men? Of course, there’s more to it than just the fraternal aspect.  There’s real ancient knowledge linked to a wide variety of cultures from Europe to Asia and everything in between.  Today’s masons are some of the few that continue to communicate these transcendent truths through the powerful vessels of myth, drama, allegory and initiation.  Even Linkedin can't do that (yet).                             Robert Sullivan IV comes from a long line of masons, so the craft is in his blood.  He himself has received the 32nd degree (the highest you can earn).  The sum of his nearly 20 years of toil is his book, the Royal Arch of Enoch.  Within which, he thoroughly dissects how ancient mysteries, ceremonies, sages and even astral bodies have influenced the very foundation America was built upon. In this cast, Robert sums up much of the knowledge from his book, his masonic studies and beyond.  He evokes dozens of historical figures, locales and philosophies and modern day depictions that will have you writing furiously as you struggle to keep your brain from melting.   Strap in.  Join the thousands who already support Midwest Real. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook and don’t forget to subscribe and review on iTunes!

More Happy Pills....Follow up of previous Happy Pill. Proviso: Been sitting on this Intro for a while, thought it fitted the Happy Pill Theme.. By no means am I NOT taking mental health as a serious issue. It simply is! Directly or indirectly, we all have had some experience of how tragic, debilitating or simply sad, mental health issues are. This being clarified, we still can have a little smile about it.   Except for the intro (it’s been a long time I have used a little intro sample due to wife’s constant disapproval J), this set is a direct cut from a set I play a fortnight ago for a few friends on our deck. Another dose of Soulful, happy house tunes to wrap up the Australian summer. I handpicked the tunes, most of them are very current and my favourites producers are there. It also marks the time where I have to distance myself from Soulful House and revisit a more progressive, darker, more challenging musical landscape. I should re-upload next week, therefore stay tuned.   Playlist: Intro MH Hotline 2014 The Truth (Original). U-Ness, Jed Sed & Samson Lewis 2013 Everybody Wants Something (Joey Negro Strip Mix). Akabu feat. Alex Mills 2013 Wake Up (Original mix). Mike Scot & Jazzy D feat. Miss Bunty 2013 Fine China (Shane D Remix). Chris Brown Shane D CDR 2014 Running To Love (Richard Earnshaw Remix). Steven Stone feat. Andrea Love 2014 La La La (OtherSoul HouseCafe Mix). Naughty Boy feat Sam Smith (OtherSoul CDR) 2014 Caribbean Queen (Shane D Remix). Fabrizio Rosset & Manyus 2014 Troubled Waters (Director's Cut Gag-a-thon Remix). Sybil 2013 More Love (Mike Dunn BlackBall Soul Mix. Maurice Joshua feat. Andrea Love 2014 Alone In A Crowded Room (Original Mix). Phlash 2011 You Know How to Love Me (Richard Earnshaw Remix). Groove Junkies feat. Indeya   2013 If You Take My Love (Booker T Vocal Mix). Kings Of Soul            2011 Sing It Back (Michael Kaye Club). Reunited   Highlights:   This section will not be as exhaustive as usual but please do pay special attention to the following tunes.   “Truth” from my current favourite House Producers and Label U-Ness, Jed Set on Soulheat records.. Their Miami 2014 sampler compilation is out, run on Traxsource and buy it.   Joey Negro’s Everybody Wantts Something.. Classic Joey’s Happy tune, easy listening.   Two tunes featuring the immensely talented vocalist Andrea Love.. “Running to Love”, which if it weren’t for my connection to U-Ness would have headlined the set and “More Love”. Richard Earnshaw, Maurice Joshua, Mike Dunn and Steven Stone: make no mistake, this is current Soulful House royalty!!!   OtherSoul’s Little Bootleg « La La La ».. When I played it, I noticed an eleven year old girl grooving to it, realizing that I may not have known the tune but she certainly did. I have been using a lot of OtherSoul’s Soundcloud remixes lately. Two talented producers from Spain, check them out.   The Shane D remix of “Caribbean Queen”.  Notwithstanding the initial reaction of people close to me, of the “oh come on, not this” sort, I can share one thing with you: they were ALL humming it…   As for “Sing It Back”.. well it is… “Sing It back” and for the purpose of More Happy Pills. I will never grow tired of it.. Also it was a throwback of my NYD set (still struggling to decide whether worth the upload), which ended with a mega Xtian Edit of this very tune..   Hope you got the full dose of More Happy Pill, for the next one will be less sweet...   Enjoy, à très bientôt!   Xtian

I gotta tell you - trying to pull a podcast together with a fulltime job while moving and having sketchy Internet connectivity is harder than it sounds. Apologies for the gap between 'casts. And for the sound quality on this particular epi. Not only was I NOT in Studio P with ace producer/engineer Joe Paulino, but our featured interview with comedian/actor-turned-director/producer Jordan Brady turned out to be really echo-y, which I didn't discover until after we were all done. And then my audio wraparounds during the show were recorded late at night and I had to be quiet, so the whole episode sounds like it's been commentated by a golf announcer. That rundown get you in the mood to listen? Audio weirdness aside, this is a fun interview with Jordan, who I first met years ago during the half year he lived in San Francisco during his life as a road comic. He's gone on to direct some films, some TV and a boatload of commercials, but what put him back on the comedy radar bigtime was his release of I Am Comic, a documentary about being a comedian in and around the real world. We talk about that and a whole lot more in this chat. Jordan's "Empty Nest" Residuals Check Jordan is a big podcast fan and we not only talk about some of his faves but we play a few clips from them, too. Plus I've got some new finds that I'm happy to share with you in this episode. Throw in a classic Henderson's Pants spot, our Burst O' Durst with Will Durst and you've got yourself a massive helping of Succotash (the episode runs more than an hour and fifteen minutes.) Here's who we're listening to this week... Pub Guys From a watering hole in north Texas comes Brian, Kyle, Terrill, Mike, and Curtis — the Pub Guys. These guys have logged more than 90 episodes, all from taverns and they've definitely created their own style and format. Their listeners become contributors to the show (and sometime even co-hosts), so check 'em out on iTunes and Stitcher. They also are big supporters of podcasts, so drop by their homesite at PubGuys.com if you want some recommendations on even more ear munchies. Tiny Odd Conversations I just discovered this quirky funfest, hosted by Travis and Brandi, and liked what I heard enough to give them a review over at This Week In Comedy Podcasting on Splitsider.com. Turns out that Travis is the son of comedian/actor Blake Clark, who drops in to bump memories with his son about raising a family when you make most of your living on the road. They're 40+ epis in, so get yourself more tiny and odd at TOCpod.com or on iTunes. Dylan Brody's Neighbor's Couch A lot of the podcasts I find on my own but we're getting more and more pings on Twitter from podcasters themselves. I'd been following the tweets of comedy writer Darren Staley (aka @Crobama) and didn't realize he was the host of this homegrown interview-based podcast. Check out his homesite for the backstory on the show's title. And to hear more, he does his show on Blog Talk Radio or you can scoop it up later at iTunes. You Made It Weird Guest Jordan Brady is a big fan of this fast-growing podcast on the Nerdist network and so am I. Host Pete Holmes is a comedian and the voice of the ETrade baby on TV - how's that for a pair of credits? He mostly manic in his p'cast and his guest often seem to get caught up in his energy. One guy who is too centered to be swayed is Larry Miller, who guests on this clip. Check out YMIW over at Nerdist.com or on iTunes. WTF The most popular show in podcasting today? Quite possibly, and with good reason. Host Marc Maron knows his way around an interview and usually, if its a comedy contemporary, he can dig pretty deep (often fueled by an ancient jealously the host has for the success of others.) In this case he's got nothing but adoration for the unassuming, comically brilliant Fred Willard. There's so much more over at WTFpod.com, iTunes and you might even consider picking yourself Maron's smartphone app for even more goodies. Doug Loves Movies There was a time when we weren't actively listening to DLM, way back after Epi9 when host Doug Benson had sent me a message requesting we not play clip from it because he didn't think the humor translated well in short chunks. AFter seeing guest Jordan Brady tweet about it being one of his favorite p'casts (and my subsequent followup as to why we don't feature it on Succotash), I received another message from Benson that, in essence, gave his blessing to play a clip once in a while. So we're back! And this is a rollicking sample, feature Doug with guests Pete Holmes, Rob Huebel, Kumail Nanjiani and Matt Myra. That's everything I could cram in this time around. Hope you enjoy it - sound problems aside - and that you remember to pass the Succotash! — Marc Hershon

TDF Ep 9 – the band…   Boy do I NOT know about Heavy Metal. These guys do, though. I had the band Beatallica () in my living room. They are a Beatles/Metallica live mash up band. Live – they play all the music, the lead singer sounds JUST like the lead singer of Metallica and they have taken their dorkdom to success all over the country and in Europe. They just played LA.   They are really gifted musicians and… I used to babysit the lead singer’s little sister. So, I knew him when he was just a foot soldier in the Kiss Army. They are all from Milwaukee, as am I, and we digress on that for a while.   I try to keep up and, as usual, when the dorkdom is music, it’s best when I just leave them to it. I learned a lot. I hope you do too.   Check out their website, their live shows are amazing and I will check out their suggestions. These ones fascinated me: Drain STH, The Sword, Blind Gaurdian, Voivad. And we created a suggested starter short playlist: Körgull the Exterminator by Voivod, Reign in Blood by Slayer, The Prisoner by Iron Maiden, and Warp Riders by The Sword. The   has extra content if you have that app. Thanks so much for the new donations I received this week! I’m at the in Bloomington, Indiana this week. Come on down if you live near there. And on Bob and Tom on Thursday - check the tour page on my for specifics.   Take care out there. Jackie - If you wanna see a sample of my comedy... is fun. Credits: as per usual… thanks to , who did the intro and outro music and Patrick Brady, friend of comedy, who fixes the audio.  

Mark Jeffries a trusted adviser and communications consultant to some of the world's largest and most successful corporations, agencies, accounting and law firms, will discuss some important topics with us today regarding career transitions, such as: what are the first steps to take if I get a pink slip? What should I NOT do? How/when do I ask for a raise? Searching for a job is a full time job...we will speak about this saying and if it is true. How can Obama's stimulus package help? How can social networking help with the job search? For more information on Mark go to his site at http://markjeffries.com . You can also publish his latest book, The Art of Business Seduction, here.

What am I? Who am I? Not surprisingly, if you can't answer these questions, you're more likely to procrastinate. In this podcast, I review a recent study that explores how identity development is related to procrastination.
