Why do some ideas spark movements while others fizzle? Joel—author of The Idea Machine, veteran publisher, and Chief Content Officer at Full Focus—explains how books transform vague thoughts into precise, shareable frameworks. You'll hear the case for analog reading, how writing unlocks buy-in at work, and why AI and books actually belong together. Practical, contrarian, and deeply encouraging for any high achiever who wants clearer thinking and better communication.Memorable Quotes“Ideas that start in the mind of an author as just kind of a gooey, fuzzy idea. And in the course of writing, it forces them to get clear on it. It forces them to get specific about it and develop it in a way that actually becomes useful.”“Not only can these ideas live in a way that we can understand them, but they can live through time. And that's one of the greatest things about a book—that it perpetuates ideas across time.”“It forces you to get clear. It forces you to develop an argument. It forces you to develop a line of thought that other people can follow. And without that, you're kind of left with a grab bag of ideas that are probably cool. They're great, but they're not in a system that can be used or explained or anything like that.”“I think this is true for leaders. They have a lot of personal charisma and people want to follow them, but that's not enough. You really do have to go to the discipline of getting these ideas clear for yourself so that they can be clear to other people.”“Part of what we've done is we've just de-skilled ourselves in reading and we just need to re-skill ourselves in reading.”“Never read a book 'cause you're supposed to. Read books because they delight. You read books because they're entertaining to you. Read books because you get something out of it that you really like.”Key TakeawaysBooks Are Tech. Treat books as an information technology that lets ideas scale with precision and longevity.Writing Creates Clarity. If you want buy-in, don't rely on vibes—write the memo. Make your idea explicit and specific.Right Format, Right Job. Use audio/ebook for breadth and speed. Reach for print when you need depth, notes, and recall.AI Is a Companion. From library science to today's models, AI extends the book's mission—use it to augment (not replace) critical thinking.Build a Daily Reading Habit. Aim for 30–60 minutes a day (top and bottom of day works). Follow your curiosity. Quit the books that don't serve you.ResourcesThe Idea Machine by Joel J.

Today, Kristin talks with Wendy Kay a wedding planner and educator from Birds of a Feather Events and E3, all about pricing tiers as a wedding photographer in 2024. They talk about each tier, how to price accurately for the tier you're in, and what it takes to move up as you grow in your business. Wendy shares her advice and experience as a planner and coach and shares valuable insight into some of the ins and outs of reaching those luxury wedding goals as a wedding photographer. Thriving on creating something from nothing, Wendy welcomes the creative challenge and complex logistics required to (literally) build an event from the ground up. From design conception to collaborating with the creative team and directing the day-of execution, Wendy respects each stage of the wedding planning process, considering the journey just as important as the destination. A former television producer, Wendy transferred her talents from directing live TV to weddings. Over a decade since creating Birds of a Feather events, she continues to lean on her problem-resolving skills while remaining quick on her feet on event days. Named a Top Wedding Planner and Event Designer by Martha Stewart Weddings and Best Wedding Planner in America by BRIDES, Wendy really is an “Idea Machine.” Whether cozy interiors, artful window displays, or wizardly worlds, Wendy uses her love of set design as inspiration to translate the stories of her clients through unexpected details. Wendy's clients connect to her calm demeanor, sharp wit, and surprising knowledge of pop culture. A diplomatic straight shooter, she guides her clients through potentially sticky situations with transparency, tact, and, most importantly--humor. Today, after 14 years of owning her own planning and design business, much of Wendy's time is focused on educating other vendors on best business practices to transform their own businesses through honesty and “tough love”. When not taking care of business, you'll find Wendy on the couch watching Ru Paul's Drag Race with her husband and four cats: Monkey, Kitten, Bobbi Newport, and Pooter.

Kudos' Chief Customer Officer Tom Short is an employees-first entrepreneur. In the last 25 years, he has founded several successful companies, all of which have employee experience as their cornerstone. In his current role, he is invested in advocating for employee recognition over rewards — favoring the long term effects of recognition on well-being and motivation over the short term “object perks” of rewards. Tom Short is the Founder of Kudos Inc., where he oversees business development, sales and marketing. Tom has founded numerous, highly successful, companies including Idea Machine, which was recognized as one of the top ten interactive agencies in Canada, which he later merged with Rare Method to create the largest independent interactive agency in Western Canada. Under Tom's direction Rare Method was ranked as one of the fastest growing organizations in the Canada by Profit 100 Magazine several years running and as one of the top 50 small to mid-sized employers in Canada by the Queen's School of Business, Queen's Centre for Business Venturing and Hewitt Associates. At each organization Tom built, employee engagement was front and center as the key to building effective teams and successful companies. Kudos was the direct result of this philosophy and was a systematic way to build a systemic culture of appreciation. Today Kudos is quickly becoming a leader in social recognition and changing how companies around the world engage their team's – one thank you at a time!Tom's Profilelinkedin.com/in/wtshortWebsitekudos.com (Company)TwitterKudosNowwtshortBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Middle Grade Author PJ Gardner joins Queries, Qualms, & Quirks this week to discuss coming to writing late in life, how querying is like boxing, writing as a calling, how promoting for MG is different from promoting for YA, querying with old data, taking big risks but expecting safe results, and how the success goalposts always move. PJ Gardner has never met a talking animal, but that hasn't stopped her from writing about them. She's the author of the middle grade Horace & Bunwinkle series and her next book, The Great Zoodini comes out in early 2024. She lives in Southern California with her husband and sons, and their Boston Terriers, Rosie and Rocky. She also writes under the name PJ Switzer.

I wanna talk to you today about becoming an idea machine. I've heard a couple of coaches recently talk about the fact that if you're in the online coaching business, you are paid for stories and I don't necessarily think that that is true. I think that when you can become a great storyteller, it is super, super helpful. Why? Because people by based on emotions, and if you can tell a great story, you can help somebody feel. And so that is definitely an element, but it's not the story. It's the idea. And I believe that as entrepreneurs, it is our job to be coming up with new ideas that we can then tell stories about every single day.Highlights 03:24 Where is your creativity?04:33 How to generate new ideas06:03 Own being an idea machineQuotes“As entrepreneurs, it is our job to be coming up with new ideas that we can then tell stories about every single day. ”“Having a regular practice around creating new ideas is really, really freaking important.

You may be thinking “I don't have ideas. Creativity is not my forte.” If you've been following the show, you'll know that EVERYONE is a natural storyteller; it's outside obstacles that get in the way of unlocking that new level in your mind. Understand that trying to force your brain to come out with an idea by a certain deadline will CRUSH your creativity. This is why people's best ideas come out of the shower. Learn today to create a clutter free space in your brain; it needs the breathing space to be bored. Worry less about optimizing every moment of your time for productivity and instead practice two simple, easy steps with me to become a creative idea-pumping, super brain machine. Be brave enough to try it for two weeks, and watch your thought process transform. 3 Key Takeaways Stop saying creativity isn't your forte. EVERYONE is a natural storyteller and can be taught to use it. Taking mental space will not only improve the business but also can help to heal personal anxiety.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A Visit to the Idea Machine Fair, published by Étienne Fortier-Dubois on June 3, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. With love to all the intellectual movements depicted below. You hear the buzz of a thousand conversations as you enter the convention center. The building is one of those weird postmodern complexes that is somehow both ancient Greek and brutalist. It looks as if the architects couldn't agree on a single style, or even on what the point of this building was. A fitting venue for such an event. You get your badge from the registration desk. It comes with a bunch of goodies in a tote bag. A pen, shaped like a hammer, with the slogan “IT'S TIME TO BUILD.” A voucher for vegan food at the cafeteria. A QR code to register your attendance on a blockchain. A watch that just tells the current year, with five digits: 02022. A slip of paper that says, “Instead of giving you a cheap keychain or whatever, we have donated part of our convention budget to GiveWell.” There's also a map of the convention. At the top it says WELCOME TO THE FIRST IDEA MACHINE FAIR. You look at the layout of the main exhibition hall. You don't have that much time, so you'll only visit the stalls you're most familiar with as a heavy Twitter user: Rationality Effective Altruism Progress Studies The Sovereign Charter City of Good Governance some amorphous cluster of booths that is charted as The DAO-verse Archeofuturism Metascience. You look up from the map, past the Art Nouveau / ancient Egyptian / 1960s modernist doors of the main hall. So many brilliant minds are in there, discussing what could be the most influential ideas of the near future. You walk in. An idea machine, according to Nadia Asparouhova, is a subculture or a community that forms around an ideology in order to achieve some outcome. Idea machines are wider than movements (like YIMBYism), but not as wide as paradigm shifts (like crypto as a whole). But also, no one knows what an idea machine exactly is, or which real-life idea machines exist, or what the boundaries between them are. This convention is meant to clarify all of that. You're not sure it's helping. You stand in the alley between the Rationality and Effective Altruism stalls, listening to some guy in basic shorts and a gray t-shirt explaining the differences between the two to a few visitors. “See, rationality is about thinking well. Whereas EA is about optimization to do the most good. The focus is different.” “But what's the point of thinking well?” someone asks. “Isn't it so that you can do good?” “And how do you optimize for good,” someone else says, “if not by thinking well?” “I mean, sure, there's a lot of overlap,” the gray t-shirt guy says. “But they're distinct communities. You could say that EA was born from combining rationality and the work of a bunch of Oxford philosophers. Rationality didn't come from Oxford philosophers. See, big difference!” You turn your attention to the Rationality table. Two nice but slightly awkward guys start giving you books. “Yeah, the best way to engage with rational thinking is reading the main texts,” one of them, a long-haired man wearing a space-themed leotard says as he hands you a nicely bound collection of essays. “Rationality: A-Z by Eliezer Yudkowsky is the main one. But a lot of people, myself included, have been introduced to us by a Harry Potter fanfiction: Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It's long but really good.” He gives you a custom printed paperback. “This is the first fifth of the story or so. You may also want to read some essays by Scott Alexander.” He gives you another pile of papers. “Oh, we have a bunch of copies of Superintelligence to give out too, if you want to know about AI risk.” He reaches beneath the table and adds a book with a picture of an owl to your pile. “There are more boo...

Getting to a startup idea worth starting is active, not passive. The idea won't just show up - you'll need to find it. And it likely won't be the first idea you've got. The way to get a great startup idea is to get lots of startup ideas so you've got context and practice. The way to get lots of startup ideas... well, that's what the episode is about. The three pillars of getting lots of good startup ideas. Tacklebox

Feeling creatively stymied? Lacking excitement with your work? Maybe you should take a brief break to indulge in pure idea creation. No pressure to make a finished product or deal with the complexities of bringing an idea from spark to sharing. It's basically tapping into the Force, but for creatives, not Jedis. (You still have to practice to get good at it, though.)
From the outside it often looks as if the dominant factor that determines whether someone achieves their careers goals or not is luck (And you all know how I feel about “luck.”) From an insider's perspective, having helped hundreds of people successfully make career transitions, I believe luck is simply when their hard work intersects with the right opportunity. And this intersection is no accident when you have the right strategy. One of my favorite aspects of the Optimizer coaching & mentorship community is the relationships that are built when students support each other to pursue work they feel most passionate about. When Optimizer students Nick Towle and Fabian Corrado originally came to me, neither one of them knew each other. But they both knew they were tired of the jobs they had, they felt stuck after trying for years to make a seemingly impossible career change, and they were ready to do anything to get on the right path. Nick Towle had been an editor in reality tv and transitioned to the scripted world as an assistant editor (AE). He was finding plenty of regular work, and he even had the opportunity to cut in addition to his AE duties, but he couldn't seem to land his first full-fledged scripted editing gig. Nobody was willing to give him the experience…without already having the experience. Fabian Corrado was working successfully as an Assistant Editor in the trailer industry but felt unsatisfied and unfulfilled, and he knew he wanted to make the jump to scripted. He worked hard and spent many years climbing his way up the wrong ladder and felt stuck and trapped doing a job he no longer loved. If you too are struggling to make a career transition, you feel stuck in a dead end career path, or you cringe when you think of networking, this episode will help you get unstuck and think of networking in a whole new light as you learn the strategies that both Nick & Fabian used to land huge career-changing opportunities (and ultimately work together on the same show!). Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One? » Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here's What You'll Learn: Fabian started his career in EPK trailer houses but after 5 years wanted to make the transition to scripted. How Fabian got connected with me and the Optimize Yourself program. Fabian describes what it was like for him to 'hit the wall' in trailer editing. Nick was an editor in reality tv and transitioned to scripted television as an assistant editor. Nick talks about what motivated him to look for the Focus Yourself program. Fabian explains the importance of uncovering your purpose and determining what career path is going to be most fulfilling. KEY TAKEAWAY: Networking strategy is all about planting the right seeds. Fabian was juggling two jobs while trying to do Focus Yourself. Nick balanced raising a 3 year old while working through the program. The story of how Fabian connected with an editor on his dream show. Nick describes how he had to make the psychological switch in his own mind to see himself as an editor. Why Fabian made the decision to walk away from a full-time job to do a 3 week freelance job. The financial component to having the freedom to turn down work that isn't the right fit. What made Fabian stand out amongst other qualified assistant editors to get his dream job. How important it is to set yourself up for success in a job even if there are knowledge gaps that need to be filled. KEY TAKEAWAY: Don't pursue perfect at the expense of good enough. Nick and Fabian's advice to their younger selves.

When filmmaker Paul Del Vecchio reached out to me six months ago, he had a successful career as a high-end commercial editor, director of photography, and colorist. He had climbed to the top of the ladder in his corner of the world - the trouble was that he was at the top of the wrong ladder and didn’t want to be there anymore. How did he end up there like so many others do? Simple - Paul said yes to practically every opportunity that came his way his entire career, an answer driven largely out of fear. He found that every time he tried to pursue his true calling of writing and directing, he had nothing left to give his own projects because he gave all his mental, physical, and creative energy to other people’s projects. In fact, Paul struggled so much to get into the rhythm of writing again that he convinced himself he had run out of ideas. Here’s a Slack message that Paul sent me recently after working through his many fears and obstacles in my Optimizer coaching & mentorship program: Not bad for a guy who was burned out and “out of ideas.” So how did Paul become an absolute productivity ninja? We talk all about the strategies he implemented in todays episode including: Alleviating his financial fears of not being able to afford saying no to the wrong jobs (which was total BS he was making up in his head) Implementing a system of external accountability and financial management to have confidence he could turn down the wrong projects and focus on the right ones Building in new daily habits to help reignite his creativity that would inspire him to go back to writing again (a habit he had all but given up on). Paul’s ideas are now abundant and he's no longer "busy" doing everyone else's work, but rather he's productive and focused on his own work. Paul is here today to candidly and honestly share his story and tell you in his own words the steps he took to turn his career around and rediscover his own creative flow so if you’re stuck in a similar place you too can get back on track. Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One? » Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here's What You'll Learn: How Paul's obliger tendency led to him climbing to the top of the wrong ladder. The key mindsets Paul implemented to begin making changes in his life. The film contest that Paul won but didn't bring the opportunities he hoped for. How Paul began to create his own opportunities. Paul’s reaction to his own words played back to him about how stuck he was 6 months ago. Paul admits to skepticism in the beginning of the program but decided to trust the process and see what happens. KEY TAKEAWAY: The smallest of steps lead to big changes. How Paul uses accountability to keep himself writing and working towards his goals. The finance system that allowed him to let go of his fear and feel confident about saying no to jobs he didn't want to do. KEY TAKEAWAY: Saying yes to something means saying no to many other things such as time, freedom and creativity. Paul was terrified of beginning the outreach process in the Advanced Networking program. Paul shares the secret to not feeling like you are bothering people when you reach out to them. Paul describes his experience of writing, sending, and getting a response to his first outreach email. KEY TAKEAWAY: Make your outreach emails easy to respond to by asking if you can ask a question. What Paul learned from a connecting with a director via cold outreach. Why asking for advice is not the best way to get the most valuable information from people. Paul reflects on the changes and progress he's made over the last 6 months of being in the Optimizer community. Paul's advice for anyone wanting to make a change in their life.

Moe and Claudia Azula Altucher discuss the power of getting the mind in top shape and how to build your idea muscle daily.
How do you transform your life? The answer is simple. Come up with 10 ideas a day. Every day. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad; the point is to exercise your idea muscle, to make it sweat. Today James talks with Claudia about her brand new book,Become an Idea Machine: Because Ideas Are the Currency of the 21st Century. People say ideas are cheap and execution is everything, but that is NOT true. Execution is a consequence, a subset of good, brilliant idea. And good ideas require daily work. As Claudia explains, coming up with 10 ideas a day is very important. Ideas may be easy if you are only coming up with one or two, but if you try to produce more than three, you will feel a burn, scratch your head, and you will be sweating and working hard. There is a turning point when you reach idea number six for the day, when you still have four to go, and your mind muscle is getting a workout. By the time you list those last ideas to make it to ten, you will see for yourself what "sweating the idea muscle" means. When you practice every day your life will transform... Life changes for the better when we become the source of positive, insightful, and helpful ideas. Challenge yourself to try it for 180 days and see your life transform, in magical ways, in front of your very eyes. When you exercise your idea muscle every day, you become an idea machine, you are unstoppable ------------What do YOU think of the show?
