In addition to her fifteen years of tech and VC experience, Liz also coaches from her spiritual practice. She is a Buddhist and a trained meditation teacher.

Eliot Jacks 1965 Mid-Life CrisisParadox of prime of life fulfillment in life but seeing it as dated as death is just over the hillNational Geographic 2012Apes Have Midlife Crises, Too—And It May Help ThemMiddle age ruts may act as natural motivators, scientist says.BYAMANDA FIEGLNATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NEWSPUBLISHED NOVEMBER 20, 2012A national survey of Midlife in the United States conducted a poll to determine how many people experience midlife crises. Approximately 26% of the participants reported having a midlife crisis.Most survey participants reported that their midlife crisis occurred before age 40 or after 50, however.That raises the question about whether these crises were truly related to midlife since midlife is typically considered age 45.Out of the one in four people who say they had a midlife crisis, the vast majority say it was brought on by a major event, rather than age. Factors that triggered the crisis included life changes such as divorce, job loss, loss of a loved one, or relocation.Happiness SlumpMany studies indicate that happiness is U-shaped. A gradual decline in happiness begins during the late teen years and continues until an individual is in their 40s. Happiness begins increasing again in an individual's 50s.Data on half a million Americans and Europeans found this trend to be true. Individuals in their 60s reported they'd never been happier, but people in their 40s felt like they were at an all-time low.This U-shaped curve doesn't appear to be universal, however. It's more prevalent in high-income nations. A gradual decline in happiness may explain why some people seem to hit a midlife crisis—they're in a happiness slump.Even though data suggests people become happier again later in life, there's a pervasive belief that happiness continues to decline as we age. So, some people in their mid-40s may think life is only going to get worse, which may spark a midlife crisis.Some people may experience depression during midlife and refer to their depressive state as their midlife crisis. Women between the ages of 40 and 59 in the United States have the highest rates of depression (12.3%) of any group based on age and gender, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Suicide rates are highest during middle age—among white men in particular. People between the ages of 45 and 54 are more likely to kill themselves than any other age group. A 2016 study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Development found an upside to the midlife crisis—curiosity. Researchers found that people who were experiencing a crisis—whether it was a quarter-life or a midlife crisis—experienced enhanced curiosity about themselves and the wider world around them.1 The distress and uncertainty participants experienced brought about openness to new ideas, which could bring insight and creative solutions. That curiosity could lead to new breakthroughs or new opportunities, which might be the silver lining in the midst of a crisis. Professor Mark Jackson Royal Society  Psychological: Identity CrisisBiology: Awareness of ageing and deteriorating vigour. Includes women with menopause and empty nest.Middle of 20th Century standardised life course. Ie not just biological but socially prescribed. Time to marry, have children and retire.By the 1950s life expectancy had significantly increased and women had started marrying earlier. Women 20-24. Fewer children clustering them earlier in the marriage. So a longer period of life after childbearing.Men's life was determined by occupation . Decades in the same job until retirement. Hence everyone was going through the same changes at the same ages.Ageism started growing with a greater sense of where we should be at certain times of life. Failure to meet expectations. Keeping up with the Jonses started in 1913 in a comic strip.Middle age was sandwiched between adolescent crisis of children and old age of parents.Inheritance happened decades later increasing pressures on couples bringing up children.The extended life course also led to the question ‘is this all there is, do I want to live with the person for the next 30 years'The realistic prospect of a life long marriage was questioned and the concept of serial marriages was introduced.1969 the divorce act changed removing the concept of marital offence making it easier to divorce. Pull to a better life eg Life begins at 40. First used in 1914 by the widow of an army officer  Theodora Parsons, who had trained ladies in physical fitness to keep the mind fit.We do not begin to live until we begin to die. She was addressing middle aged women who were overweight and let themselves go therefore she wanted these ladies to get fitter to aid the war effort. However that phrase became key in self help literature from the 1930s onwards. Indeed it encouraged older people to enjoy life and work less in order to allow younger people into work during the recession of the 1930s.The American Dream was also sketched out:  the dream of a social order in which each man and woman is able to attain their maximum potential. We could look forward with some hope.After WW2 the collapse of the American Dream was replaced by  the dream of motorcars and high wages as well as human consumption.  Happiness in a hurry. The idea of life begins at 40 ie life getting better not worse was a sense of narcissistic belief thinking they are due happiness love approval  sex excitement all this is denied me in this stale marriage let me get rid of her.We are aged by our minds our bodies and by history and culture. Midlife crisis is much more marked in Western than in Eastern cultures.  Barbara Waxman Tedx 2021:People believe their best years are behind them

Keeping up with the Jonses isn't just for your neighbors next door, it's everywhere in eCommerce businesses. Companies buy software based on what they see others in their industry purchasing. Formal RFP processes create a lengthy and expensive buying process, so eCommerce companies are more open today than ever before to the idea of composable commerce. In Episode 5 of Decoded, Phillip & Boris discuss how to purchase digital software well and some key considerations in decision making. Listen Now!Keeping up with the JonesesThere have always been and will always be fads and fashions driving purchases. This is no different when it comes to companies purchasing software.Companies tend to copy purchasing patterns when they see their peers and competitors successfully implementing software.B2B Sales are irrational. The buyer of the software is rarely, if ever, the user of the software. How can B2B companies take the irrationality out of this process?Business owners need to look at an issue in their business and ask themselves if they should be involved in the decision making process for purchasing specific software and to what degree they should be involved. - BorisIf you want to extract value out of a software purchase, the people who will actually be using the software should be involved in some manner in the buying process.Be very explicit and specific about the problems your business is trying to solve. Don't just buy software.You want to aim for a long-term relationship with your software. Try before you buy is a MUST in order to build sustainable processes.Examining the RFP cycle: by its very nature, the RFP introduces risk, despite its sole purpose being to mitigate it. - PhillipWhat do we mean by “scalability?” An enterprise software isn't scalable in the same way that Shopify is, nor should it be. They're two different products solving for two different issues. It's better to ask what the approach to scalability is.“The SaaSification of the industry is actually leading to many developers losing skills.” - BorisAssociated Links:Learn more about Boris Lokschin and SprykerCheck out Episode 1 of Decoded on the Developer to Consumer!Check out Episode 2 of Decoded on our new composable world!Check out Episode 3 of Decoded on Social Commerce!Check out Episode 4 of Decoded on High-Complexity vs. High-Commodity environments.Have any questions or comments about the show?

On this week's episode of Motherhood Mindset, I'm interviewing Amy Carney, author of Parent on Purpose and 100 Questions for Moms, to discuss Ways to Enjoy Traditions that Matter to Your Family, minus the hurriedness of trying to Be All & Do it All. You're just one person. Slow down and live out these precious days on purpose.  If we are lucky, Amy reminds us that we have only 18 seasons with our kids. Would you rather focus on image, perfection, keeping up with the Jonses, or customizing your holiday season to focus on what matters most to your family?Give yourself grace to be human. There are some seasons where you can add more traditons and items to the list, and other seasons, for example, when you're having a baby, adopting a child, starting a job, or going back to school;  those seasons need a little more attention and something has to give. Amy offers 3 actionable steps to determine what matters most to your family; and how to live a more intentional holiday season, to enjoy the goodness sitting right before you. God is your anchor in the midst of the storm. Don't be afraid, for the Lord will go before you and will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.

As social creatures, the desire to belong is embedded deep within our psyche. As a result we adopt (most of the time unconsciously) the behaviors, beliefs, and goals of those around us.  Look at your life as it stands now. Which areas have you consciously designed? Which have you taken on by default. In this podcast I show how breaking through the internal conflict and following your heart is the only way to move forward and claim your One Life.

Adrian & Craig discuss what "keeping up with the Jonses" means in the modern era for each of them, and how its so captivatingly easy to watch others while belittling yourself.Follow us on Instagram:The Show - @CashTalkPodcastAdrian - @theAdrianHallCraig - @FinancialFowler

Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. During this time of Covid, many people aren't able to use the library in the same way as in the past. To help bring more stories to more readers, Penguin Random House, Simon and Schuster, and MacMillan Publishers are allowing books that are normally unavailable for copyright reasons to be read out loud and shared with others until September 30, 2021. The stories that fall under that special permission will all be taken down on that date, so listen now, while they're available! Today's story is shared with permission of Penguin Random House publishers.  Today's story is “Mortimer's Tie,” a segment from the book Arabel and Mortimer, by Joan Aiken. Mortimer is trying to help Arabel and Chris Cross wash Mr. Jonses's taxi, but he just creates a big mess, so he looks for diamonds instead. Then he finds one the size of a stewed prune! What will Mortimer choose for a reward: two thousand pounds or a ten-day cruise? Surely whatever he chooses will lead to some excitement. Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.

The second half of our interview with Chris Chapman is here!

We talk about why we think that is, what we can do to stop it, and what we think. the true key to happiness actually is.   CLICK HERE TO ORDER YOUR "MY WHY JOURNAL"!!!   More on The Millennial Mission/Links Mentioned in Episode: Follow us on IG: @bethanyandcorey Sign Up for exclusive discounts, benefits, and top secret info only our podcast listeners get! www.millennialmission.co Press Inquiries/Contact: bethany@millennialmission.co

As they (James) say, don't cry over spilled perfume. This week we discuss being invested in yourself instead of your 9 to 5, is punching a clock worth it? Also, "Keeping up with the Jonses" is a losing game but buying nice clothes is fu*king awesome. 

Keeping up with the Jonses...it’s something that has plagued humanity for centuries. Why do we care about what other people have or what they’re doing? How can we learn to be content?

The Summer months always seem to drag on for me. I think that is because I am laser focused on the Fall. I love the Fall. It is my favorite season for so many reasons, not the least of which are the design focused events that happen around Southern California. This is why I started the Design Influencer Series in May and we have already held three amazing events. This was the third in this on-going series and the topic, as we approach Fall was “Collecting and Organization.”  The Marie Kondo craze has taken full effect, and to be quite honest with you, I’m not really sure how I feel about it so I wanted to ask the professionals. This gathering was held at the Ornate showroom on Beverly Blvd in West Hollywood. The ideas was a bit overwhelming for me and imagine it is for many of you as well. Folding, purging, clearing out your ‘stuff’ and not collecting more. Seems like a foreign concept, but I wanted some fresh insights. Here is who joined the discussion: Jason Lai L2 Interiors https://www.instagram.com/l2interiors/ @JasonLai.InteriorDesigner Lori Dennis Lori Dennis, Inc. https://www.loridennis.com/about/ @LoriDennisInc Eva Sobesky EIS Interiors http://www.eisstudio.com/about @EIS_Studio   Brian Wickersham AUX Architecture https://auxoffice.com/about/ @AUXArchitecture Christopher Mercier (FER) Studio https://www.instagram.com/ferstudio/ @FerStudio Joseph Speirer Joseph Speirer Architects https://www.calarchitect.com/ @JosephSpeirerArchitects Jeff Valenson Jeff Valenson Design https://jeffvalensondesign.com/about.html @JeffValensonDesign Lynnea Schweiters Lynnea Jean Design http://www.lynneajean.com/ @LynneaJean Stephanie Leese L2 Interiors https://www.instagram.com/l2interiors/ @L2Interiors It was amazing to hear what this distinguished group of creatives think about the concept of self-edit, clutter, organization and accumulation of ‘stuff’. The ‘Stuff’ Culture and the Art of the Edit. Ours is a society built on things. If one has many things, one requires many places to house ones them. For many reasons, this is changing. It has to change. Climate change is affected by over production, over development, over delivery and over consumption. How does a designer who favors Maximalism operate in a world favoring less. It seems they edit more than they have in the past. The edit has always been part of the design process. It has always been an asset to those creatives who could honestly create using all their skills and still walk a few ideas back afterwards. That no longer appears to be a luxury. Collecting Vs. Clutter.  There is a difference between the non-purposeful accumulation of things and a curated collection of objects. The former is what happens to most of us through the course of our lives. A ‘thing’ here, article of clothing there and before you are even aware, it has led to the destruction of your space’s harmony and peace. The key to Marie Kondo’s philosophical approach to de-cluttering lies in the ability to be honest and self-edit with purpose. How many of us can really do that. Yet another value proposition for the design and architecture community. Designer and architect Role’s Are Greater Than Ever Before. Traditional roles for designers and architects to create spaces and places are changing rapidly due to a litany of factors that all emanate from the changing definition of “home” and what functionality we require of our space. We live in a consumer based society and a trend has emerged that challenges the very notion of what we buy and why we buy it. The idea of buying, not simply to consume or ‘keep up with the Jones’s.  Editor’s Note: those ‘Jonses’, can’t stand them but they are real. We all know them and whether real or imagined, there is a strong urge to keep up with the latest in style and design, fashion, etc. As long as wealth continues to serve as an outward barometer of s...

This is my tribute to the book which opened my eyes about assets and liabilities. It gave me new perspective about money. Here are some of the key points: 1) Rich don't work for money. They invent money. 2) Get financial literacy before starting to invest 3) Look into acquiring more assets which generate cash flow/income. 4) Stop trying to keep up with the Jonses.

THE COMPARISON TRAP The temptation to compare is ever present. As you chat with a friend, visit a supermarket, or check in on social media we are drawn to measure our lives against the life of others. We know ‘the grass isn’t greener’, but we’re desperate to ‘keep up with Jonses’ and whether you come out on top or come up lacking, there is simply no win in comparison. You’ll never be content on the inside if you’re always looking at what other people have on the outside. Over the next three weeks, let’s talk about how to avoid The Comparison Trap…

What your neighbor’s house cleaning says about you is not what you think. Many people worry about their neighbor’s house cleaning habits and then they feel inferior. "They must have a maid, or a house cleaner or a professional cleaning service." "Maybe they hurry and clean before we visit." Your neighbor’s house cleaning has nothing to do with you. Many people play keeping up with the Joneses or they clean before company comes.

PJ Bruno sits down with Enterprise AE Patrick Forquer and VP of Growth Spencer Burke to discuss online grocery shopping, Reddit raising a huge Series D round with a near $3 billion valuation, and Warby Parker's new augmented reality shopping tool.          TRANSCRIPT: [0:00:18] P.J: Hi everyone and welcome to Braze for Impact. Your weekly tech industry discuss digest. So this is a place where we get together each week and just talk about what's happening in tech. This week I'm lucky to have with me my pal Patrick Forquer who is on the sales organization here at Braze. Next week we'll hear from someone from a different department, probably Customer Success, something like that and then the following week maybe someone from product and then so on and so forth. So we can get multiple different angles at what's happening in the tech industry. Like I said today, I'm lucky to have Patrick Forquer and also Spencer Burke. I'll have them introduce themselves.   [0:00:51] Patrick: Hey, I'm Patrick [inaudible]. I'm a strategic account exec here at Braze.   [0:00:55] Spencer: Thanks PJ. I'm Spencer Burke, the VP of growth.   [0:00:58] P.J: How are you guys doing? How's the week trucking on?   [0:01:01] Patrick: It's going okay. No, it's going great. It's great to be here with you P.J. Looking great in your Heather Gray shirt and as always.   [0:01:09] P.J: It's a good color. Spence, how are we doing?   [0:01:11] Spencer: Going well. Got a ski trip planned for this weekend driving up to Vermont, so can't complain.   [0:01:16] P.J: Always at the skiing Spencer Burke.   [0:01:19] Spencer: It's a winter. I got to get it in.   [0:01:20] P.J: Got to get it in guys. You know what, without further ado, why don't we jump on to what's happening this week? This first article, 'Why people still don't buy groceries online'. This is a very interesting thing to me. Actually, let me set up the story because I think they did a really good way of setting this up in the article. Nearly 30 years ago when just 15% of Americans had a computer and even fewer had Internet access, Thomas Parkinson set up a rack of modems on a crate and barrel wine rack and started accepting orders for the Internet's first grocery delivery company, Peapod, which he founded with his brother Andrew. Back then, ordering groceries online was complicated. Most customers had dial-up still and Peapod's web graphics were so rudimentary that customers couldn't even see image of what images of what they were buying. Delivery was complicated too. So the Parkinson's drove to grocery stores in the Chicago area. They actually did this and bought what customers had ordered and then delivered the goods from the backseat of their beat up Honda Civic. When people wanted to stock up on certain goods, strawberry yogurt or bottles of diet coke, the Parkinson's would deplete whole sections of grocery stores. This is, this is wild. I mean it's interesting because we were all constantly talking about convenience and delivery of all sorts of things. Why not groceries? What's the deal?   [0:02:41] Patrick: Yeah. So when I was reading this article, the first thing that came to mind was if, if we rewind 10 years from today and we took a poll of everyone at braise about, which would be more successful grocery delivery or an app on your phone where you tap on one button and a stranger in a Honda Civic pulls up and drives you somewhere. I think we all would have bet on the grocery delivery piece of that. Right?   [0:03:07] Spencer: Every time.   [0:03:08] Patrick: So it is crazy to me and the numbers are super low. I mean 3% of people getting grocery delivery. Spencer, what was your initial take?   [0:03:18] Spencer: I'm curious, have you guys used the grocery delivery service?   [0:03:22] Patrick: So I have, I had a really bad experience actually, so I haven't done it since. And I think that's part of the challenge in this article where-   [0:03:31] Spencer: Can you get into that bad experience or is that...   [0:03:35] Patrick: So we tried to use the grocery ordering off of Amazon Alexa and my wife ordered paper towels and-   [0:03:46] Spencer: Just paper towels?   [0:03:47] Patrick: Yes. And a couple of other things, but I kid you not, they delivered us what must have been the majority of the warehouses paper towels to the point where-   [0:03:58] P.J: Jesus!   [0:03:59] Patrick: ...for two and a half years, we were using paper towels off of that one order. So obviously that's an outlier. But yeah.   [0:04:08] P.J: It seems like it's also, apparently America is really not adopting it as much as other countries like it seems like in Europe. Also in Asia it's like up to 20% or something like that of consumers are using online and it's only 3% here in America. Does that speak to anything that we're doing or what do you guys think?   [0:04:27] Spencer: Well, I mean I think part of it is most people... Most people have cars. Most people live in an area where they have some kind of large grocery store chain and so if you're driving to work, stopping at the grocery store on the way home, it's not changing the convenience kind of function for everyone in the same way that like Lyft or Postmates or Seamless might for your average consumer. Personally, I've tried it here in New York. I recently moved to somewhere that just doesn't have as many large stores as close to me. I just thought, sure, why not? Let's try Amazon Prime. Amazon just bought whole foods recently and let's see how it goes. I think there's a lot of challenges with it. You don't see exactly what you're getting. If something's out of stock, you're relying on them making replacement or not providing it at all. So, if you're planning on using one of these services to plan a dinner you might not actually be able to cook what you intended to or you might not be able to put that meal together because the delivery service wasn't 100% versus if you're in the store, you can kind of course correct as you go.   [0:05:32] P.J: Right. I feel like a lot of us order all sorts of things through the Internet. I'm sure that list goes on, but as far as grocery shopping something that...it's ordering Seamless as one thing, right? It's prepared and sent right over to you as opposed to groceries. People probably a little concerned like you want to feel your fruit, you want to see your meat, you got all these things. I feel like there's a little fear around that probably. For me anyways.   [0:05:59] Patrick: Well definitely. And then you know, they talk about the challenges that these companies have. It's a lot more complex and it would look to me that on the surface with things like some items you have to keep warm. Some items you have to keep cool, you have to do it all really quickly. And so the people put, you know, preparing the packaging, have to know where everything is and then there's delivery and it's mostly in urban areas. So then there's parking challenges and all these things that I didn't necessarily.   [0:06:25] P.J: There's tons of complications that go along with it. Apparently surveys have shown that shoppers are still concerned that they're being charged higher prices when it comes to online delivery and also complain about delivery drivers being late. Those are the two biggest complaints apparently.   [0:06:39] Patrick: Yeah. And the last thing I noticed was in the second article that we were looking at on grocery delivery, there's the casual drop of Google in partnership with Bain, with Bain commissioned a research study, which as we know working in tech means that Google paid Bain to run this survey for them likely with a hypothesis that grocery delivery was about to explode.   [0:07:03] P.J: I feel like they had an a hypothesis in mind. Yes. Something tells me, yeah.   [0:07:07] Spencer: So I don't know if this was entirely altruistic on behalf of a like, yeah, let's do it. Let's go for it. We'd like you guys.   [0:07:13] Patrick: And you know, I noticed Walmart recently pulled their products from Google Express, which is Google's grocery delivery service. So I think there's increasing competition around this for an incredibly small market at the moment. And I guess we'll see where it goes.   [0:07:31] Spencer: Yeah. Before we move on. I, despite our skepticism, I think there clearly is something here and you know, whether it's Instacart or Postmates or Amazon or anything Walmart or Jet tries to do, there's clearly value to having a hall. You're grocery shopping, just show up at your door essentially. And I think like a lot of things on the Internet, whether it was a couple of years ago when everyone's like no one's going to put their credit card into their phone to buy something online. It's like there's all these articles about how many people abandon their carts because it's on mobile and they need to go back to their desktop. No one talks about that anymore. You just do it. I think we're not that far from whole foods being a warehouse of food for Amazon delivery rather than a grocery store. Right.   [0:08:18] Patrick: Delivered by robots.   [0:08:20] Spencer: Yeah, exactly.   [0:08:21] P.J: And that's what the future looks like. Groceries delivered by robots.   [0:08:24] Spencer: You heard it here first.   [0:08:25] P.J: Yeah, we'll leave it to you guys. Next article of the day. Reddit is raising a huge round near $3 billion valuation. So Reddit is raising one. Sorry, $150 million to $300 million to keep the front page of the Internet running. Multiple sources tell TechCrunch. The forthcoming series D round is said to be led by Chinese tech giant, Tencent at a $2.7 billion pre-money valuation. And now depending on how much follow on cash Reddit drums up from Silicon Valley investors and beyond, it's post money valuation could reach an epic $3 billion. Yikes. And now my first concern that comes up immediately for this, and I feel like maybe you guys felt the same way. Censorship, right? I mean, maybe it doesn't matter, but Reddit remains a relatively safe space for trailers and conspiracy theorists alike. The currently banned apps and websites in China though, like massive lists just to shortlist as Google, Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, Snap, Insta, Youtube, flickr, Tinder, and Reddit of course. And that doesn't even include news publications, cloud storage products and email. So I don't know, there's something feels weird about this, right? Also like Tencent is also one of the most important architects of the great firewall of China. This is serious. There's a lot going on. There's a lot of meat here.   [0:09:53] Spencer: It's like this is a different than I expected.   [0:09:54] P.J: Oh really? It just seems like there's strange things at play.   [0:10:00] Patrick: Spencer, I know you had some hot takes on this.   [0:10:02] Spencer: No, go ahead.   [0:10:03] Patrick: Well, yeah, I think it's interesting that Reddit has had a lot of challenges over the past couple of years. And PJ, you alluded to some of that where they've had some really bad homophobic, misogynistic, racist, threads that have propagated conspiracy theories and hate speech and they've dealt with it in different ways. Some of the ways that they've dealt with it has been good. Some of it's been not so good. I know their CEO was editing comments and specific threads to make them look a certain way. And then he got caught doing that and had to apologize. If they had been a bigger company, can you imagine if Facebook did something like that? He'd be hauled in front of Congress immediately. So, and I was thinking about the valuation piece of this too, where if you took all the bad stuff out, and you're looking at their monetization model, it's through ads, right? Like most companies. They're like most social companies but they've really only recently started monetizing through ads and their real strength has been a very supportive and loyal community of Reddit users. I don't use Reddit, but I know people who do and the people that use Reddit, love Reddit. They love it. They're like in the community, they're posting and commenting and all that stuff. And the challenge as we know scaling a business model where ads are the primary revenue driver is that you can lose some of that early days, communal feel when you start layering in promoted posts and different types of advertisements and it kind of loses its initial bespoke early day feeling those.   [0:11:54] Spencer: Yeah. I think the flip side of the darker elements of Reddit is that Reddit, can be a place for really specific groups of people and that can be people in a city, someone with a certain medical condition, people who play a sport. Like recently I've been looking and there's a subreddit for woodworking and it's like, oh, this is maybe a hobby that I'd be interested in. And there's just a ton of resources and people who are helpful. So for everyone who's out there trying to make a joke, well, if there's a lot more of these people, but for everyone out there who's, who's kind of trolling and you're trying to be a little bit silly, there's a lot of people who are just passionate about something and go to Reddit to share it. And I think it's kind of inspiring actually, that those communities exist on the Internet in a place that it's not just a website for those people. It's a website that can serve any community and it happens to be Reddit for a lot of people.   [0:12:50] Patrick: Right? Do you think that this changes anything for Reddit potentially down the road?   [0:12:58] Spencer: Well, they stay in business for a little bit longer. I don't think so. I think you're probably reading too much into the the Chinese[crosstalk]   [0:13:07] Patrick: have you been spending some time on Reddit recently PJ?   [0:13:09] P.J: Actually, I've only been on Reddit maybe once in my whole life. I'm not a big ... My roommate is like obsessed. Anytime we're doing anything like watching a movie, he just is looking at his phone the whole time and he's in Reddit constantly living in the comments. Right?   [0:13:23] Patrick: Nba Reddit as a really good, yeah. Community. Right. Community.   [0:13:27] Spencer: I feel singled out now because I actually do spend a decent amount of time on Reddit   [0:13:32] Patrick: That's all we need to hear from somebody.   [0:13:32] Spencer: Don't use Facebook, don't use Twitter. Casually though love reading Reddit. The comments can be hilarious. But like I said, just moved recently. So looking for cool areas, restaurants, bars in my neighborhood and there's a subreddit for it. So just reading through it on a couple of times a week can pick out spots, find somewhere to go check out, and it's actually really interesting to see and it's like having a good neighbor or a friend recommend some places to you. You just there and it's a different feel than just going on Yelp and looking at aggregate and total summation.   [0:14:08] Patrick: Are you getting into woodworking? Is that what this is?   [0:14:11] P.J: Yeah. What do you, tell me more about that.   [0:14:13] Spencer: I won't go down the rabbit hole of the hobbies that Reddit has inspired or there's some really, I'll just ... There's some really specifics. I'll read it. That's all. That's all I'll say.   [0:14:23] Patrick: I mean, but what you're describing though, Spencer, is the kind of dual nature of all of these social media sites. On one hand, they can connect people who feel lonely or who are passionate about a certain topic that maybe others around them aren't passionate about and find that community that they'd been looking for. On the other hand, there's Jonses with hate speech and things like that and who knows, maybe Reddit Will start handling this really well and it'd be a success story, so I'll be interested to what they do with all this capital and it's a huge inflection point for their business and kind of their all or nothing shot I feel like so.   [0:15:00] Spencer: Just as an example, they're on the weeds podcast of ox podcasts. They're talking about a study of where they paid people to give up Facebook who are on the platform. They weren't planning to give it up. And those people who are basically just happier, they socialize more, they watch a little more TV, which is maybe the one question one thing.   [0:15:19] Patrick: And they have some money now, which is nice.   [0:15:22] Spencer: But they were less politically divisive. They were a little less informed on some things, but just like genuinely happier. I think one of the interesting things that happens in Reddit versus Facebook, that the communities are moderated by people from the community. So there are subreddits to help people quit smoking, to quit drinking. And when those people will talk about their success, there's so much positive in encouragement and positive feedback and the negative elements of that. Unlike Facebook where anyone from high school that you don't really know anymore can come in and comment and make you feel pretty bad about something or give you that kind of fomo feeling. There's a community of people supporting you trying to do whatever it is. Whether it's something you know, trying to get rid of some addiction or learn some new hobby, which I think so that moderating the fact is it makes it a little bit different than other types of social networks.   [0:16:14] P.J: A little more like true democracy going on over there.   [0:16:18] Spencer: Or a benevolent dictatorship. In the case of moderation.   [0:16:22] Patrick: If Reddit is the front page of the Internet, does that make Facebook like the national enquirer? Who's to say, hi,   [0:16:33] P.J: Let's move on. We got a little of time left. Last article of the day. Warby Parker's new shopping tool lets you try on and buy glasses virtually using your iPhone's camera. So now this article is Warby Parker announced new shopping tool and it's more convenient for iPhone owners, Virtual Try-on. The tool, which lives inside the glasses by mail companies app is available on February 4th. So this Monday it just launched. The caveat is you'll need an iPhone X, iPhone XR or iPhone XS to take advantage. So not just for iPhone users. If you have an old school iPhone, you're not going to be able to use this thing either. Spencer, you wear glasses sometimes, right?   [0:17:13] Spencer: Yep. You got me.   [0:17:15] P.J: You guys can't see. But sometimes he wears glasses. Do you have feelings on this? Do you get ex ... Does this get you excited?   [0:17:22] Spencer: [inaudible]radio? Yeah. Not really. I'm pretty straight forward. When I went to go buy my most recent pair of glasses, went to a store in New York, asked the guy for some help. He picked out two pairs, tried them on, chose one, locked out. And I might be an anomaly there, but I think from-   [0:17:41] P.J: Boom! I love that.   [0:17:42] Spencer: But I think this is really interesting to me because it sort of solves two problems. One is it's helping people try glasses. It's lowering friction to make a purchase. The second is it's giving people a better sense of what they're going to look like without going in the store. So it's going to reduce the likelihood that they need to go in and make a return or [inaudible] me back in, which of course has a cost to Warby. So hopefully for for them the business outcome is it's increasing revenue, making the purchase easier and they're reducing their operating costs by reducing the number of returns.   [0:18:16] Patrick: Yeah. To me, reading the article and there was a lot of buzz about this. This story appeared multiple of the new sources that I read on a regular basis and while it's cool and definitely the benefits that Spencer's talking about are real. I also didn't understand necessarily the getting as much buzz as it did because to me it just feels like they took Snapchat filters and turn them into [crosstalk] Whoa, we can do now what Snapchat could do two years ago and it's just Warby Parker glasses instead of like Elton John glasses. I mean it's cool, but I want the Elton John one.   [0:18:55] Spencer: Yeah.   [0:18:56] Patrick: So it's just definitely cool and I think there's obviously a business case to be made from a technology perspective. It wasn't super exciting. I think there's other use cases for AR for things like the way that Wayfair and other furniture stores are doing it where you can see, you can overlay a couch in a living room type of thing that would be more valuable than, productize smart Snapchat filter.   [0:19:21] Spencer: So you don't wear glasses do you?   [0:19:22] Patrick: I do not.   [0:19:29] P.J: 20-20 vision. I honestly just don't trust that augmented reality fit. I don't think it'll necessarily match real life. And I guess it's for two reasons. One, I just don't trust that just looking at yourself with this augmented pair of glasses on will necessarily look the way to look in real life. Also, we're not even considering the feel. the feel of a pair of glasses has to feel right. You know, so until they have augmented feeling technology out, I'm not buying.   [0:19:57] Patrick: Well, the other thing I was thinking about too, along those lines, PJ is 97% of Americans won't freaking order groceries, but there's going to be some huge wave of people putting something on their face every day that they saw on an app.   [0:20:11] P.J: That's what I'm talking about.   [0:20:13] Patrick: Hot tech Spencer. I don't know.   [0:20:14] P.J: There it is. It's called augmented reality. It's inherently different. It's like if you think about catching a charter as art in Pokemon go is so different from trying to catch on in real life. Have you ever tried, it's entirely different. Wait, one more question for you guys. What I want to hear, what's an augmented reality app that you're just hankering for that you just really want? And I'll give you a second to think. Well, I'll tell you mine and you know, growing up I was very into a Tamagotchi if you guys remember those little pet on your key chain, but just like a cool little Tamagotchi that only I can see my pet. No one can see them. I look around where is he? Okay. There he is on the ground. You've got to feed them. You got to take care of them. And then you know when it comes to having to really take care of him, like you just close the app, close the phone. I don't need to worry about buying pet food or any of that stuff. Something that makes me feel like I have a little buddy.   [0:21:08] Patrick: So an AR Tamagotchi   [0:21:09] P.J: An AR Tamagotchi you heard it here first.   [0:21:12] Patrick: Wow. Here's all my money. [inaudible]   [0:21:17] Spencer: You don't use Reddit. You don't order groceries online, you don't think that trying glasses on with your phone is a good idea. But they are Tamagotchi.   [0:21:26] P.J: I am on Facebook so you can find just about out of time here. You guys, thanks so much for being on here with me. This is PJ Bruno.   [0:21:35] Patrick: Patrick [inaudible]   [0:21:36] Spencer: And Spencer Burke.   [0:21:37] P.J: signing off. You guys take care. [0:21:39]

Click on the link below to learn the most valuable skill in Internet Marketing! http://bit.ly/2D2WflG Hey in this video I want to talk about how to get patience and using it to win. Patience is one of these things that I have been thinking about lately and 1 person who I admire greatly who is already big and getting bigger is Gary Vee. He hits the nail right on the head when he says it is micro speed and macro patience. It's equally pushing it and equally being patience. Most people are on one extreme or the other. We all struggle with patience myself included and one of the things that hurts us worrying about what are peers think. You know keeping up with the Jonses. If you start a business. No matter what it is your ego is tied to it, so you want it to be successful plus there is probably going to be some people who think it's a dumb idea. I'm thinking a big reason people give up is due to their ego.

Undivided focuses on breaking down the barriers that society has put up to separate people. These barriers can be social, gender based, age based, racial, political, or economic in nature. The series looks at breaking down those barriers to unite people in peace and harmony.  My next episode will feature a special guest, Marla Goldberg, co-host of the "Marla & Jen Show" here on Life Coach Radio Network. Marla is a Certified Intuitive Life Coach and has other certifications as well in the area of spirituality and healing.  This episode will look at the divides caused by chasing what society or Western culture perceives as "The Dream" where we are often just "keeping up with the Jonses". This will be compared to true fulfillment and we will contrast the holes in the heart that chasing empty dreams can cause instead of taking steps to live a truly fulfilled life.  Marla Goldberg has a depth of expertise in this area and we will cross paths with other themes during our conversation. Marla is an entrepreneur having started and run five businesses, travelled the world for those companies, and is now a successful certified Spiritual Response Therapist and coach. Marla has mult-discplinary training in spirituality and healing and we will connect those components with strategies that people can use to begin the journey to fulfillment.  Frank J. Maduri is the host of "Undivided" and is a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) and ELI-MP with a coaching practice focused on unlocking the potential that each person has to achieve their objectives. Frank is also a journalist with th publishing credits in over 40 countries. He has published a book of poetry on Amazon. Please join us on March 21st for this important dialogue which promises to inspire and help people find true meaning in their daily activities. It will be a boundary pushing conversation so please listen in.

Peter had a helluva year in 2016, from guesting on albums by Red Bazar and The Colin Tench Project, to live Tiger Moth Tales gigs with a full band, and even touring Japan as part of the legendary Camel! I caught up with him late last year and we discussed all of this and more.

They boys review the new flick Keeping up with the Jonses

Brad Post, Create the Movement: Hello. This is Brad Post, and I am with my co-host, Josh Rich. Josh Rich, Create the Movement: Good morning everyone. B: We are continuing our Tuesday Marketing Tips. Right? J: Yes, sir. B: So, how are you doing, Josh? J: Doing well, Brad. How are you? B: I’m doing well. J: Excellent. So, today, we’re going to be talking about, really, two main topics. Using link-building software. And, then, we’re going to talk about, kind of, what to do if you’re going to hire a company to build links for you. It’s a little different. So, the first one is kind of the DIY version. It’s just buying some software, and paying for links yourself. Versus, just paying someone else to do it. B: Okay. J: So, there’s a couple of things, if you’re going to do it yourself, there’s some really good tools you can use. For one, whenever you start, you need to have some sort of a link management system. B: Okay. J: Because if you’re going to be emailing bloggers and signing up for directory listings you need to make sure that you stay organized. Otherwise, you’re just going to be all over the place, and you’re not going to figure out what you have already done, and you’ll end up doing double work. B: Just like an Excel spreadsheet? J: Yeah. That’s kind of like the basic version. You use an excel spreadsheet. Or, you can just actually sign up for some paid-link building software. That’s a little bit better because it will give some analytics on it. So, the first one you can use is, is what we use, is Raven Tools. B: Okay. J: That will tell you, kind of like, what status you’re at. And it will give you some analytics, like I said, on the link, to let you know what the domain authority is. To just let you know if it’s worth pursuing, or not. B: Okay, perfect. J: Another site you can use, it won’t necessarily manage link, but if you’re just curious if it’s a good link worth pursuing or not, is SpyFu. And it will just give you some readouts on how much traffic they get, what the domain authority is, and how much people trust that link. B: Okay. J: And then there’s another software you can use to kind of just check for new prospects. To just kind of give you some ideas. And it’s called Ontolo. O-N-T-O-L-O. Not sure if I’m saying that right, or not. Like I said, that will just kind of give you some ideas where to look for links. And, then, once you kind of figured out what you want to do. You can use a software called Word Tracker. And that B: Word Tracker? J: Yeah, Word Tracker. And that will just kind of give you ideas on how to proposition the websites. On how to go about, like just, sending the initial email to try to get your link on their site. How to just make the “ask” basically. B: Okay. J: So, those are all, you know, really good softwares you can use. And, so, another way to do this too, is just flat-out buying links. And, today, that’s probably something you’re just going to have to do if you’re going to do backlinking. Unfortunately, just people know about SEO now, so they’re going to charge you for it. So, there’s a couple of things you should be aware of. A couple of ways you should go about that. First, of all, one good idea to do, is to look up to see if your competitors are using paid links. And again, you can use SpyFu for that. And if you’re paid links, then you can probably get away with not doing it too. Especially, if you’re already ranking higher than them. But, you know, if you have competitors that are just 10 links ahead of you, and they’ve got tons of paid links, that’s probably why they’re ahead of you. B: And you use SpyFu, and also, Open Site Explorer? J: Yep. Yeah. You can use both of those to figure out kind of what your competition is doing. And that’s really a good place to start. So, that way you can at least know if you’re keeping up with the “Jonses.” B: Okay. The paid links, for example, we work with a lot of attorneys. And so, the FindLaw directory is a pai...
