In today’s episode, we ask: Could there be a new approach to addressing the environmental crisis? Can the concept of spiritual ecology help us develop a new perspective on problem-solving? What about using yoga as a tool to guide us on this mission? Science and technology have long been considered the only answers to the problem of climate change, but we are not seeing the results we desperately need. Many individuals and corporations are simply going about their business in the same old way, failing time and again to make the necessary changes. Could it be that at the heart of environmental degradation lies a spiritual and cultural problem? Is it not our departure from nature and our identities as spiritual beings that are standing in our way of changing our behavior and mindsets? Joining me on the podcast today is someone who has studied the intersection of spiritual ecology and yoga, and together we unpack what that can mean for our spiritual and cultural states of being. Let’s dive in! Key Points From This Episode:Why we need to change our behaviors, perspectives, and beliefs to solve the climate crisis. Learn what spiritual ecology is and how it relates to morals, ethics, and values. Hear about the appeal to religious leaders to advocate for and take action on climate change. Why the root of environmental degradation could be a spiritual and cultural problem. How language and connection bring yoga and spiritual ecology into a relationship. Laura talks about her research and its basis in Modern Western interpretations of yoga. How yoga philosophy promotes environmental awareness and an eco-friendly lifestyle. The relevance of the yoga concepts of non-violence and non-possession. Understanding our interconnectedness with nature and that we are part of something bigger. How yoga and related institutions can be tools for environmental education and change. An overview of the eight limbs of yoga and their expansion beyond movement, posture, and breathwork. The benefits of yoga, including helping you find your purpose in and contribution to the world. Recognizing that people – not just science and technology – have an important role to play.

According to an ancient myth, the world rests on the back of a turtle. And what does that turtle stand on? Another turtle. It turns out that it’s turtles all the way down. Miki Rezentes, today’s guest, believes that all software rests on the back of APIs. Similar to the myth, it’s APIs all the way down. We open our conversation by discussing how homeschooling her children did more to prepare Miki for a software career than anything else she’s encountered. Miki shares highlights from her talk, ‘APIs All the Way Down’. This set up this episode’s key theme, that the tech industry is too concerned with how its software interacts to focus on how the people in its organizations communicate — their ‘human APIs.’ Following this, we ask Miki how she learns people’s APIs and we talk about the benefits of observation and mirroring. Tracking her career, we touch on how Miki transitioned from a homemaker to a developer before diving into her recent work at the data science platform Mode. She provides unique insights into how she views architecture and design and why the concept of domain-driven design doesn’t go far enough. We chat about how you can see your team as customers to promote domain-driven design and then drill into what she does to create a ‘shared pool of knowledge’ with her team. As Miki explains, ‘people problems’ are more difficult than technical ones and developers often make mistakes by not first developing common understanding. Especially when this relates to expectations within a company. Near the end of the episode, we explore what leaders can do to maintain productivity when growing their teams. Tune in to hear what you can do to deepen your team’s pool of understanding and improve the quality of your communication. Note: this episode was recorded in late July when Miki was working at Mode; she is now a Senior Software Engineer at Frame.io (https://frame.io). Key Points From This Episode: Why homeschooling her kids better prepared Miki for software development than anything else. How people within an organization express themselves through individual APIs. Understanding that people come from different backgrounds which influence their API. The ‘shared pool of knowledge’ and figuring out how to communicate with people. Miki’s journey from homemaker to becoming a software engineer. How nobody really knows what they’re doing. Security as a trade-off, privacy, and the power of two-factor authentication. Hear about Miki’s work at the data science platform Mode. What Miki enjoys most about working in Elixir and what she uses it for. How Miki sees architecture and the differences between architecture and design. Domain-driven design and the differences between data models and software. Treating your team ‘Agilely’ and seeing them as your customers. Miki’s process of developing a shared pool of understanding before hammering out the end-to-end components. Why ‘people problems’ are much more difficult than development problems.

Business owners are typically ambitious, goal-oriented people, and while these are important traits required for success, they have their drawbacks. Whatever our pursuit, when we are so focused on the bottom line and we are hooked on the end result, we forget to celebrate the journey. In this episode, Chris discusses the importance of separating our identities from our results. As a recovered chronic overachiever, Chris knows what it's like to be fixated on outcomes, and how draining it can be personally, and for those around you. We learn about how growing a purposeful mission makes us less attached to the final product and allows us to simply revel in the pursuit of what we set out to do. Remember, we are human beings, not human doings, and our worth is not tied to what we do, but who we are. Tune in today!Key Points From This Episode:Why the podcast is called ‘Relentless Growth’ and the components of living your best life.When we get comfortable, that is when we stop growing, so keep pushing!The freedom and responsibilities that come with being a business owner.Rather than focusing on the bottom line, stop and enjoy the experience!Chris’s story of being a chronic overachiever when he worked in real estate.A noteworthy quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer about our identities and achievements.Why perpetually doing more only results in sufferingCan we stop focusing solely on results?

That’s something I keep seeing as a pattern in business owners that I get to talk with. That they focus on becoming a human doing rather than a human being.” — Chris Goodman [0:04:54]“I would take a moment and ask yourself, ‘What result am I really chasing and how will I know when I get there?’” — Chris Goodman [0:10:11]Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Goodman CoachingChris Goodman on LinkedInChris Goodman InstagramWayne Dyer

Leadership is about Behavior, not Title with Howie Siegal.We’re no longer in the era where bosses say, “You work for me.” People want to own their careers and personal growth. To thrive in the modern workplace, where collaboration is the new norm, team leaders need to sharpen their leadership abilities. Our conversation with today’s guest, RSM Audit Partner Howie Siegal, reveals what qualities excellent leaders need along with the tools that can help you become a better one. Howie talks about why embracing feedback and being a good communicator is the foundation of successful leadership. Based on his own experience, Howie shares how the ‘lead by example’ style of guiding teams doesn’t work and that the essence of leadership lies in providing accountability, challenging your team, and in sparking constructive debates. This results in a multiplying effect that improves your team’s performance. Howie contrasts this approach with that of the ‘accidental diminisher,’ who ends up taking opportunities away from people. Emphasizing the importance of boosting your soft skills, Howie talks about how coaches, ranging from your spouse to your colleagues, are vital in improving your leadership ability and providing you with alternate perspectives. While some are innately better at it, Howie highlights that anyone can learn good leadership. Tune in for more on how you can become a better leader. Key Points From This Episode:Why being a good communicator is a hallmark of successful leadership.The importance of reflecting on your communication and having people give you feedback. Why you should implement a ‘360-degree’ feedback process into your annual plan. Learn about how Howie’s leadership style allows his team to own their careers.The difference between delegation and directing people to follow instructions.How you can avoid being an ‘accidental diminisher’ and let your team grow.Why we need to develop soft skills to sharpen our leadership abilities.

Is there a way for us to know whether we are living in an ecologically considerate way and are satisfied and living well? In this episode, we are going to talk about measuring success. We know there are no numbers to tell us whether we are living sustainably and happily, but there are certain things we can assess to help us establish a benchmark and a starting point. The aspects of our lives that are measurable can be used to direct our decision-making, and in that way, guide us toward greater environmental awareness and overall higher quality of life. Joining in today, listeners will hear me talk about the different ways for us to measure sustainability and our happiness, using calculators and tools that evaluate our carbon emissions, water consumption, waste production, and even our anxiety and happiness levels. Key Points From This Episode:• Why is it important to measure our performance in terms of environmental sustainability? • The concept of an ecological footprint and how we can measure the impact we make.• Our contemporary culture promotes the overconsumption and exploitation of resources. • The value of thinking about resources in terms of how much of the planet one person can consume. • Resource use calculations help us to make better choices individually and collectively. Key Messages:1. Measurements can help us improve and give direction for positive actions. 2. The ecological footprint is a robust method of calculating overall ecological impacts. 3. We can get more specific with a carbon and water footprint calculator. 4. We can calculate waste by doing a household waste audit. 5. Life satisfaction or happiness surveys can be fun and provide helpful insights.

Who is this person?” — Cheri Anderson [0:11:36] “The reason you're looking at motives and these forces is because that's where the rich rewards lie, and you need that context.” — Allison J Taylor [0:30:28] “You can't know what the competitive substitute is unless you really know what's driving the behavior.” — Cheri Anderson [0:18:50] “Where is the crack in the egg? Where do I see the differentiation that I need to follow up for my next product design?” — Cheri Anderson [0:14:41.9] “We are all pretty fractured.

Social media and the Internet shape our modern-day business conditions where we have all these opportunities for independent creativity that could lead to an audience and a sellable product or service. There's still a lot to learn though! Business is a lot like dating. It develops over time, hopefully to a point where your audience know, like and trust you enough to invest money in the solution you offer. But what happens when you do that and then you have another idea? Many entrepreneurs are confronted with this question sooner or later: do I want to do this, or would I rather do something else? Can I do both? It would be very wise to prepare yourself for this process of expanding, adding to or morphing your business. In this episode we get deeper into the heart of modern independent creative entrepreneurship, discussing what to do when you feel the urge to start something new or change direction. We also talk about why your career path is not as linear as it is often made out to be and why going sideways instead of upwards is sometimes the most genius alternative. We chat at length about the importance of being curious, but also when to get more serious and structured in your approach. If you want to push the boundaries, try something new and open yourself up to the best possible opportunities, join us for this discussion where we hash it all out!

On the Fizzle Show we always steer you toward earning a living from doing something that you actually care about, or at the very least, not doing a job you hate!

We also cut to the chase about what it is that makes people successful, defining what winning at life looks like for you and focusing on the lifestyle you want in addition to doing what you are passionate about.

Today on the show we discuss getting rid of self-doubt. Having had significant self-doubt throughout my life, I recently have done my own self-inquiry on stopping the negative self-talk and really had to dig deep. What we say in our minds is really what happens in our life. If we believe it, it will be true.  We often think the solution is superficial, such as getting a new haircut, fixing your teeth, or changing the way you dress. But none of those things will heal the deep sources of negative self-talk. In this episode, we go over the list of ways to eliminate the self-doubt in your life, why you need to dig deep into your childhood memories, and finding a personalized approach that works best for you in your life. So if you are stuck in the cycle of negative self-doubt, let’s get started on your path towards healing.   Key Points From This Episode Why it is critical to dig up the childhood moments The importance of personalizing your road to healing Learning to identify what success for you, personally Taking the time to be still and appreciate the world around you Being mindful of shifting toward an attitude of gratitude Why staying busy does not get rid of your negative self-talk Learning to delegate tasks that are not serving your gift or your business Understanding that relieving stress helps you get rid of self-doubt And much more!   Tweetables “Success if not what social media, or the media, or what you read says it is. Success is whatever it is for you.” — @TheRobinWSmith [0:05:13.0] “Being extremely busy did not help get rid of my bad talk and my self-doubt because it made me feel like I wasn’t succeeding.” — @TheRobinWSmith [0:08:17.0] “Busy doesn’t make you successful, it just makes you busy.” — @TheRobinWSmith [0:08:30.0]   Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode Robin Wilkins Smith Website Robin on Instagram Robin on Twitter

On today’s show we welcome Amy Wan, an attorney who specializes in real estate fund syndication for entrepreneurs. Amy is based in Los Angeles, where she runs her company Bootstrap Legal. The underlying goal of the company is to democratize access to legal council by decreasing the amount of billable hours for drafting legal documents. Amy had not intended on going into law and, in fact, she was studying biology towards being a doctor or pharmacist. After going through the motions of her degree she eventually landed in USC Law School studying human rights law and later international trade law. Amy then moved to California with her husband and found a job at Patch of Land. It was here that she became interested in the idea of legal access democratization, something she would draw from with her own company. Amy’s story is both one that can inspire an individual pursuit and is also full of great illuminations on the possibilities for the future of legal work. Tune in to hear all about it!   Key Points From This Episode: Why trading your time for your money is not for everyone. The legal profession’s opposition to efficiency. Different types of fund syndication. Investment crowdfunding as an online syndication and its returns. What exactly is an accredited investor and their role. Bootstrap legal and the democratization of legal aid. Just how inefficient the standard legal turnaround is on drafted documents. How Amy’s company makes the system work more efficiently. The money and time that this can save a client. Challenges that Amy faced in starting her own business. Amy’s suggested timeline for prospective capital raising. Property value, projected goals and likely capital amounts. And much more!   Tweetables: [spp-tweet tweet="“What is the one thing that crosses borders, that everyone respects?

Today we are going to be talking a little bit about booking deal fares, otherwise often referred to as "mistake fares". We're going to talk about what they are, how you book them, how you get them ticketed. First off, it's best to not refer to any travel mistake as a mistake. Refer to it as a “deal”, refer to it as a “flash sale”, but never refer to it as a mistake. Step number one is finding these deals. Stay tuned as we go over all the steps to booking the deal fares, how to find them, and how to make sure that you are absolutely prepared to make a booking when these deals appear. All this and more inside of Part I of this episode. Key Points From This Episode: • Why you should call a booking mistake a “deal” or “flash sale” instead of a “mistake”. • The difference between an airline confirmation and being ticketed. • How to identify a “mistake” versus simply a really good deal. • Taking the gamble for a high reward; potential of earning full mileage credit on a deal. • Understand exactly how to prepare for taking on an airline “deal” fare.

Welcome back to ZorkCast. On today’s episode we are going to focus on why Hyatt Explorist sucks! Now, that is probably a little bit too harsh but let me explain. The Hyatt Explorist, is a mistier hotel loyalty program, which gives you access to more comforts, rewards and upgrades around the world. You can achieve Explorist status after completing 30 qualifying nights. Hyatt is a good program, but there are aspects that are not so great, or not that great to really change your travel patterns. Tune in to this episode to hear more as we dive into some of the downfalls with the Explorist program, why the real problem with Hyatt loyalty runs a lot deeper, and why you should always take advantage of obtaining hight tier status with the least amount of effort, without getting yourself crazy about it. Key Points From This Episode: • Why the Hyatt tier level names will drive anyone crazy. • How to achieve Hyatt Explorist status. • Free breakfast and lounge access; a mid-tier status program must-have. • The benefits of using a status achievement promotional event; is it fair? • Doing what is best for your wallet and why you shouldn’t believe the hype. • Taking advantage of achieving a higher loyalty status with less effort. • The importance of maintaining perspective when it comes to loyalty programs.

Today on the show I was thinking a little bit about how people have to create their own travel experiences. Part of this thought was inspired Tim of Points to be Made, which is a great European blog that talks a lot about maximizing loyalty programs. In a recent interview for Million Mile Secrets, Tim had some interesting parting words that sort of made me think about a few things. The first was not to be wowed by the image many travel bloggers portray about airline miles and luxury travel. The second point was not to be misled by how people are collecting their points. There is often a debate in this area, especially when people are traveling and collecting miles on someone else’s dime. Tune in as we discuss more about why it is important not to believe all the hype about airline miles, how to properly plan your mile usage, and why you should always try to create travel experiences that are most important to you. Key Points From This Episode: • Why you should not get caught up in the “hype” of airline miles. • Understanding the concept of traveling on “OPM”; other people’s money. • Looking at your miles and points as a tool that allows you to travel. • Learning to intentionally plan for opportunities to use your travel miles. • The importance of creating travel experiences that are important to you. Tweetables: “Don’t believe all the hype about airline miles and luxury and the luxury some travel bloggers portray.” — @PTBMade [0:01:20.1] “You should really look at your miles and your points, just look at them as another tool; a tool that will allow you to travel.” — @travelzork [0:02:50.1] “It’s great to fly business and first class but there’s a whole world to explore outside the airport and the aircraft.”— @PTBMade [0:03:43.1] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: TravelZork — https://travelzork.com/ ZorkCast on Facebook — facebook.com/travelzork ZorkCast on Twitter — https://twitter.com/TravelZork ZorkCast on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/travelzork/ Points to be Made, European-based Travel Blog — http://pointstobemade.boardingarea.com/ Million Mile Secrets interview with Tim - https://millionmilesecrets.com/2017/08/18/points-to-be-made/

Welcome back to ZorkCast, the podcast that is all about helping you travel smarter, gamble smarter, and maximize your adventures. On today’s episode we are diving into the topic of travel loyalty, and what it really means to understand your value in it. Whether that’s from casinos, to hotels, or even airlines, anyone with any status level should think that they are the most important customer and from a marketing perspective, it makes quite a bit of sense. However, it’s impossible for everybody to be a VIP and if everybody really is a VIP, then does that mean nobody really is a VIP? So listen is as we discuss understanding loyalty programs, when they may be more valuable, and how you can get the most out of the perks that are offered. Key Points From This Episode: • Why some level of loyalty status is great to have. • Determining the value of a loyalty program. • The different between definitive, variable, and discretionary perks. • Understanding the benefit of status match programs. • Learning to get the most value out of your loyalty programs. Tweetables: “Some level of status, especially depending on your travel patterns, is great to have.” — @travelzork [0:03:25.1] “Having perks that you’re not using, or status that you’re not using, doesn’t really provide you with much value.” — @travelzork [0:03:56.1] “The most important thing is to keep your expectations in line with, how valuable some of these perks are.” — @travelzork [0:08:232.1] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: TravelZork — https://travelzork.com/ ZorkCast on Facebook — facebook.com/travelzork ZorkCast on Twitter — https://twitter.com/TravelZork ZorkCast on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/travelzork/ © 2017 ZorkCast
