In this episode of My Simplified Life, host Michelle Glogovac and co-host Stephanie Hockersmith interview author Stephanie Wrobel about her latest novel, The Hitchcock Hotel. The conversation delves into the influence of Alfred Hitchcock on Wrobel's writing, the complexities of artistic admiration, and the exploration of unlikable characters in psychological thrillers. Wrobel shares her journey to becoming an author, her thoughts on the future of her writing, and the delicate balance between reading and writing. The episode concludes with reflections on the nature of storytelling and the intricacies of human behavior. What We're Talking About The Hitchcock Hotel is a thrilling homage to Hitchcock's films. Wrobel's journey into Hitchcock's filmography was a deep dive. The book explores the duality of Hitchcock's legacy. Artistic admiration can be complicated by an artist's personal flaws. Unlikable characters are essential in psychological thrillers. Wrobel's writing journey began with an MFA program. The future of her writing may include speculative fiction.

A Note from James:Oh my gosh, every time, this is the second time I've talked to Gladys McGarey. Last year she was 102 years old, this year she's 103 years old. She wrote a book, The Well Lived Life: A 102-Year-Old Doctor's Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age, and it's coming out in paperback.  And every time I read this book, I've read it twice now, and I talk to her, I almost feel like crying, and I don't really know why. It's almost as if she was born with wisdom, but then kept even growing for the next 102 years. Like she drove a Ford Model A car, and now she's talking to me through Zoom on the internet and going on podcasts, writing books. She was a doctor her whole life. She's been all over the world. She's had so many amazing experiences and also has suffered, of course, much loss. I don't think you're going to live to be that age and not have an incredible amount of loss that you have to learn to move past and still be positive and still live every day to its fullest. She had, she was riding a tricycle and it threw her off into the street and she broke three ribs.

In this Outdoor Quickie, Jen and Dyana dive into the "Rule of Thirds," a concept shared by Olympian runner Alexi Pappas during an interview with Idea Generation. Pappas recalls advice from her coach during her training for the Rio Olympics. After a particularly tough day, when she felt like giving up, her coach reassured her, explaining that in the pursuit of any big goal, you're supposed to feel great 1/3 of the time, okay 1/3 of the time, and lousy 1/3 of the time. If your experience balances out that way, you're right where you need to be. Her coach emphasized that a bad day was just part of the journey. In the episode, both Jen and Dyana share their experiences with the Rule of Thirds and how they apply it in their lives.Where to find and support Bush & Banter: Follow Bush & Banter on Instagram: @bushandbanter Visit Bush & Banter's website: www.bushandbanter.com Join Bush & Banter's Patreon community: patreon.com/bushandbanter E-mail Bush & Banter: bushandbanter@gmail.com Follow Dyana on Instagram: @dyanacarmella Follow Jennifer on Instagram: @thewhimsicalwoman

Cut Out the Heavy Lifting—Use AI To Gain Momentum For Your Ideas       Welcome back to week 3 of our 5-week series, Leveraging AI: Proven, Practical, & Tactical Approaches to Using AI in Your Business. Today, we're diving into how we use AI for idea generation and our top tips for writing powerful, time-saving prompts. This series is in collaboration with my friend and colleague, Mary Fearon.  Mary, if you have yet to hear in the previous two episodes, is a fellow marketing agency owner. She is the Founder and CEO of OnPrPose, a company that helps entrepreneurs and businesses tell their stories effectively, both internally and externally. If you just found this series, go back to our introduction episode, AI: Introducing Your New Unpaid Team Member.  Today, we are focusing on how to be the best “creative director” so that whatever AI tool you are using can give you usable, valuable ideas as a brainstorming partner. The magic all lies in your prompts. How to Talk to AI  When using AI, you have to shift your mindset around how you request information. With a search engine, you would input strings of keywords and find pretty relevant search results. When using AI, you have to expand your prompt to give context and background for the work you're producing, just like you would to a member of your team. By taking the time to craft thorough prompts, you're limiting the amount of back-and-forth and getting hyper-relevant copy or ideas in response. Listen in for our top tips on how to frame a thorough prompt for AI! What Do We Use AI For? As marketing agency owners, Mary and I use AI to do a lot of the heavy lifting that once took hours for our team to do. For example, Mary uses AI for competitive analysis. Instead of having to comb through several websites and social media pages, AI can give you an overview.  In this episode, we go over many more ways we use AI in marketing, including creating and writing in our clients' voices, creating client avatars, and even ideas for increasing engagement on social media. AI allows you to take an idea, cuts down the drafting time, and gets you to a place where you can apply your expertise, style, and perspective in just a few minutes. Mary and I have had so much fun finding different ways to use AI in our businesses, and we hope you're getting inspired on how to start using it in yours!

Founder of WavyStudios, Kane helps companies enhance their video content for audience growth and conversions. He also leads WavyWorld, a community/course on short-form storytelling, and shares insights into the creator entrepreneur world through his newsletter Blueprint.In this episode of “Uploading...,” Kane shares his strategies and workflow for creating engaging short-form video content. He discusses the importance of creating curiosity loops, placing strategic hooks throughout the video, and tailoring content to each platform's unique consumption experience.We discuss at length Kane's content creation process, where he finds his ideas, how he chooses relevant topics and writes scripts with his unique angle, why rhythm and pacing are important in video editing, and how all these factors in creating an engaging short-form video content which then drives his audience to longer-form content where conversion happens.Today, we'll cover:- The importance of curiosity loops and strategic hooks in engaging audiences- Crafting the perfect rhythm and pacing for soothing, engaging videos- Tailoring content for different platforms and their unique consumption experiences- Kane's workflow for idea generation, scripting, recording, and visualizing content- Leveraging short-form content to nurture audiences and drive conversion to long-form formatsWhat You'll Learn1.

It's like it takes hundreds if not thousands of reps of a short-form video in front of somebody on Instagram or on TikTok for them to actually understand who you are and, like, buy into you. I had this framework called content minutes, which is like, let's assume for someone to go from a stranger to a superfan level, it takes like 90 minutes of your content watched. Well, if you're making short-form video and the average one is watched 20 seconds long, that's 270 videos they would have to watch to hit that bar and become a superfan versus a podcast. If they listen to the whole hour, it's like two podcasts.” — Kane Kallaway [00:09:27 → 00:10:05]Newsletters as Content Idea Source: “So the first piece of finding what's interesting, I just am constantly scanning, and I find for the videos I make, which is like business of culture, tech stuff, email newsletters are the best place for me to find topics because they're already a curated filter on everything. So if I didn't have email newsletters, I would have to go to like TechCrunch, The Verge, Business of Fashion, Entrepreneur.com, whatever the sites are. I'd be scanning like 30 sites. And you can use something like FeedLIVE to do this, but I've tried it and there's a lot of noise, there's not enough signal, it's like way too much noise. And so what I find is email newsletters, people who have actual businesses designed to filter the bad stuff out, curate just what's interesting. And so I subscribe to like ten or twelve newsletters that I love.” — Kane Kallaway [00:19:48 → 00:20:29]Video Script Structure: “Most people think of videos as like a hook, the body, and the conclusion. I think of it like a hook, there's a dance, and in that dance, you have context and conflict, which is basically just set up, rehook. Set up, rehook. Set up, rehook. You're trying to rehook them. Then at the very end, I tried to hook them again with, like, the ending so that they share it.” — Kane Kallaway [00:23:11 → 00:23:28]Show notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn  ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicKane Kallaway - Founder of Wavy Labs

My guest today is John Rotonti — in my mind, John is a very diligent, thoughtful, deliberate stock analyst with a great gift for teaching others the necessary skills to analyze and evaluate businesses. He is kind, generous, and always so much fun to talk to. We recorded our first episode together about a year ago; scroll down to find it. It's a truly wonderful conversation and an opportunity to get to know my guest. Today is John's second appearance on the show, and we'll go deeper with a stock picking masterclass delivered by someone I admire and respect. John graduated from the University of Richmond with a degree in political science. He also holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Tulane University's Freeman School of Business, where he graduated in the top cohort of his class. In December 2013, he published a book titled "A Manual on Common Stock Investing." Most recently, he was employed by The Motley Fool for nearly 9 years, voluntarily leaving as a level 3 senior equity analyst and Head of Analyst Training and Development. He identifies as a contrarian value investor by nature and due to life circumstances. He has a very successful, and incredibly well produced podcast that I recommend you explore. In our conversation today, John, emphasizes the importance of focusing on high-quality, growing businesses with strong moats and good management teams. He suggests maintaining a watchlist of thoroughly researched businesses and waiting for their stock prices to sell off before considering them as investment opportunities. John recommends getting ideas from a network of investors, reading investor letters, and conducting constant research. He outlines a quick glance process for evaluating potential investments, which includes assessing the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. John advises investing in adaptable businesses with the potential to grow their intrinsic value over time. Stay tuned until the end, when John clarifies the misinterpretation of Warren Buffett's philosophy and strategy.

A Note from James:Oh my gosh, every time, this is the second time I've talked to Gladys McGarey. Last year she was 102 years old, this year she's 103 years old. She wrote a book, The Well Lived Life: A 102-Year-Old Doctor's Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age, and it's coming out in paperback.  And every time I read this book, I've read it twice now, and I talk to her, I almost feel like crying, and I don't really know why. It's almost as if she was born with wisdom, but then kept even growing for the next 102 years. Like she drove a Ford Model A car, and now she's talking to me through Zoom on the internet and going on podcasts, writing books. She was a doctor her whole life. She's been all over the world. She's had so many amazing experiences and also has suffered, of course, much loss. I don't think you're going to live to be that age and not have an incredible amount of loss that you have to learn to move past and still be positive and still live every day to its fullest. She had, she was riding a tricycle and it threw her off into the street and she broke three ribs. And she's now totally healed and on the podcast. I really look up to this woman a lot.Here's Gladys McGarey. We have a great conversation about all sorts of things and she's the author of The Well Lived Life.  Episode Description:In this profound and enlightening conversation, James revisits the remarkable life of Dr. Gladys McGarey, who, at 103 years old, shares her 'six secrets to health and happiness at every age' from her book 'The Well Lived Life'. Reflecting on a life rich with experiences, from caring for patients across the globe to handling personal loss and surviving a recent tricycle accident, Dr. McGarey embodies resilience and wisdom. She discusses the importance of facing challenges, the transformative power of love and life, and how her encounters with notable figures like Milton Erickson shaped her understanding of human potential. Dr. McGarey's perspectives on aging, happiness, and living a meaningful life offer invaluable insights, emphasizing the significance of community, love, and choosing one's path with intention. Episode Summary:00:00 Celebrating a Century of Wisdom with Gladys McGarey02:04 The Resilience of a 103-Year-Old: Tricycle Accidents and Recovery05:11 Finding Humanity and Overcoming Loss06:04 The Power of Love and Life: A Personal Journey14:44 Exploring the Mind's Influence on Reality16:31 The Magic of Connection: A Story of a Plant and Dementia25:39 Embracing Life's Adventures and the Quest for True Humanity31:29 The Philosophy of Life, Love, and Humanity36:07 Navigating Life's Challenges with Optimism37:47 The Power of Choice in Overcoming Adversity40:39 Turning Pain into Purpose: A Personal Journey41:47 Action as a Catalyst for Change42:23 The Interplay of Life and Love44:13 Embracing Aging with Grace and Wisdom46:33 The Impact of Stress on Health and Well-being47:47 Finding Meaning and Joy Amidst Loss50:42 The Importance of Memory and Presence56:42 Exploring Spiritual Growth and Self-Discovery01:02:05 The Role of Technology and Community in Modern Life01:06:32 Reflecting on a Life Well Lived ------------What do YOU think of the show?

A Note from James:Ryan Estis is potentially the most successful public speaker worldwide. I've known him for about a decade, thanks to our mutual friend Scott Cohen, who has appeared on this podcast several times and is an outstanding entrepreneur.Over the years, Ryan and I have developed a strong friendship, partly due to our connection with Scott. Ryan is an exceptional public speaker, known for his inspirational talks. He possesses a wealth of knowledge in business, sales, and global affairs, speaking at various events worldwide.Recently, he co-authored a book with his brother Chad, an executive with several sports teams, including the Cowboys. The book, titled "Prepare for Impact," features many compelling stories. I particularly recommend the "30 Steps to Success" section, which encourages readers to devise their strategies for success.I was curious to learn how Ryan became a top public speaker, including how he started his career, increased his fees, and gained the confidence to work independently. I also wondered about his future plans, especially how he intends to adapt his career as he ages and possibly reduce his travel for speaking engagements.These inquiries, while specific to Ryan, are relevant across all industries for professionals considering the future of their careers, wealth, and success.It was a great pleasure to speak with my friend Ryan Estis. His insights, shared in our conversation and in his book "Prepare for Impact," are sure to inspire many. Episode Description:This podcast episode features a comprehensive conversation with Ryan Estis, celebrated as one of the most successful public speakers globally. The discussion touches upon Ryan's journey from a prolific sales professional to a distinguished public speaker and author. James and Ryan explore the essence of Ryan's new book, 'Prepare for Impact,' co-authored with his brother Chad, who has an extensive executive background in sports management. The book encapsulates 30 steps to success, offering insightful advice on professional growth and human-centered leadership. Beyond discussing his literary work, Ryan delves into the nuances of public speaking, including his start, evolving fee structures, branching out on his own, and envisioning a future where he doesn't have to travel as intensely. They also discuss the implications of aging on career and life choices, reflecting on personal development and shifting from proving to giving back to the community. The conversation further explores Ryan's new venture, ImpactEleven, which aims to support and accelerate the growth of public speakers, and contemplates the transformative impacts of global crises on personal and professional reinvention. Episode Summary:00:00 Introduction to Ryan Estis: The Public Speaking Prodigy03:07 The Art of Public Speaking: Ryan's Path to Mastery08:23 Navigating Career Transitions: From Sales to the Stage08:52 Building a Speaking Career: Strategies and Breakthroughs19:03 The Power of Free Gigs: Establishing Credibility and Demand26:40 Maintaining Integrity and Navigating Imposter Syndrome28:19 Navigating the World of Public Speaking29:37 Overcoming Stage Fright and Idolization32:50 The Impact of COVID-19 on a Speaking Career34:50 The Genesis of ImpactEleven: A New Venture36:10 Expanding Beyond Public Speaking48:13 Reflecting on Personal Growth and Future Aspirations54:12 The Evolution of Success and the Importance of Giving BackLinks:Check our Prepare for Impact Here: "Prepare for Impact"Official Website: ryanestis.comImpactEleven Official Website: ImpactElevenTwitter: Ryan Estis on TwitterLinkedIn: Ryan Estis on LinkedInInstagram: Ryan Estis on Instagram ------------What do YOU think of the show?

Alex explains his approach and how you can adopt it in this episode.Find out about:Why brainstorming is an untapped goldmine for facilitatorsWhat many of us get wrong about brainstormingHow to use a number of different tools to optimise and enhance your brainstorming sessionWhy it can be such a struggle for clients to translate the outputs of a workshop into day-to-day changesHow an initial ‘scope meeting' can prevent misalignment further into the workshop processWhy good things happen when we stick with ‘bad' or unpopular ideas for a little longerHow to prevent a workshop being a mess of ideas and, instead, a greenhouse for big changes Don't miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.And download the free 1-page summary, so you can always have the key points of this episode to hand.Links:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Here is the link to the scoping questions:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jSLxBnI0Jtbq_WRQ1raEBtRveSwuOn6-sFuFCLYBaKw/edit?usp=sharingConnect to Alexandre:On LinkedIn.Support the show:Make a one-off donation and contribute to the ongoing costs of running the podcast.Support the showCheck out the podcast map to see the overview of all podcast episodes: https://workshops.work/podcast-map
