From how they accumulate wealth to whether money can truly buy happiness, many of these assumptions are simply not true. Let's break down some of the most common myths about the wealthy, using real data to separate fact from fiction. Myth 1: More Money Doesn't Make You Happier Fact: More money does lead to greater happiness—especially by improving life quality and reducing stress. While the old saying goes, “money can't buy happiness,” recent research shows that wealth does contribute significantly to overall life satisfaction. Earlier studies suggested that happiness plateaus at around $75,000 a year, but more recent research from Matthew Killingsworth at the University of Pennsylvania challenges this. Killingsworth's study found that happiness continues to increase as income rises beyond $100,000, and for many, it keeps rising well past $500,000 Why? Wealth offers greater freedom from financial stress, better healthcare, the ability to outsource chores, and more time for meaningful experiences like travel or hobbies. These factors improve life satisfaction and allow people to focus on personal growth and relationships. HUGE Announcement: You will love this! Looking for the full outline from today's presentation?

Sean Killingsworth brings the youth perspective on what it's like to be a teenager with access to smartphones and social media. After struggling as a young teen with his use of smartphones and social media, Sean decided to switch things up. He started using a flip phone. After the initial weaning of period, Sean felt incredible. He was more present and happier. But problems remained, as all of his peers were still unable to lift their eyes from their phones. This led to the creation of The Reconnect Movement. More about Sean: Seán is the founder of the Reconnect Movement, which creates in person communities on college campuses for students to socialize without their phones. Students love it. Reconnect currently has over 500 students signed up for student-led reconnect clubs at the University of Florida and University of Central Florida. Reconnect has hosted events at Harvard, Rollins College, Catholic University of America, Divergent U with plans to expand nationally in the next 2 years. In addition to his advocacy work with The Anxious Generation, Design it for us, and the Becca Schill foundation, Seán also speaks at conferences, events, and colleges. Most recently, he gave a guest lecture at Georgetown University. He is launching his podcast Be the Oasis in January 2025. His book by the same name will be published in spring 2026.

Joey Killingsworth, the driving force behind Joecephus and the George Jonestown Massacre, has spent close to 20 years blending outlaw country with thrashing riff rock to build a loyal following. A Memphis native with deep musical roots—his father, Bo Jack, played with rockabilly legend Eddie Bond—Killingsworth initially resisted country music but later embraced it, launching the Massacre as a vehicle for his diverse influences. Known for creative collaborations and tribute projects, he's worked with legends like Jello Biafra and Greg Ginn. Joey is also a booking agent who works with both Lydia and Tim.

201: Pt. 2 10X Better! | Virginia Killingsworth on Spirit-Centered Business™We covered a lot of territory in this Part 2; from spiritual technologies to misunderstanding of the enemy and the religious system, and from end times deception to the maturing of the Sons of God. Virginia is such a wealth of revelation and insight! She is launching a new mentorship program called Overshadowed that I really feel the Lord's breath on for awakening the body of Christ. Be sure to go back and catch part 1 if you missed it.HIGHLIGHTS:- Ancient Pathways and Spiritual Technologies- Lucifer Misunderstanding: the misconception within the Christian community about the dragon known as Lucifer, noting that he is a created, fallen being, not an anti-god. He cannot create but only steal, kill, and destroy.- Superiority of God's Power: biblical examples (Moses, Elijah, Daniel) demonstrate that God's power is superior to counterfeits.- Christians can operate at a higher level of spiritual authority.- Maturity and Spiritual Authority: in wielding spiritual technologies responsibly.- The religious system keeps believers immature to control them, which hinders their spiritual growth and authority.- End Times Deception: where even the elect could be deceived, as in that it's possible, but not certain that the elect will be deceived.- Quantum Capacity and Spiritual Growth: helping business owners understand their inner world and build it on God's truth and the importance of understanding how to operate from a heavenly perspective.- All Things Restored Ministry: led by Virginia, noting its impact on opening people up to spiritual possibilities.- Transition in the Body of Christ: moving from the Piscean age to the Aquarian age, symbolizing an outpouring of spiritual knowledge.- Crossing into the Promised Land: the Israelites ate both manna and the fruit of the land on the first day in the Promised Land, symbolizing the transition from old ways to new beginnings.- Embracing Humility and Trust: in transitioning from old securities to new unknowns and yielding to inner transformation and governance for a new season.- Growing Up in Faith: saying "yes" to spiritual growth and trusting God's plan for maturing believers, akin to Daniel in the Bible, demonstrating that God's gifts surpass anything the devil can offer.- Collective Consciousness and Energy: everyone carries the life of God as energy, so it's important to maintain hope and high frequency to counteract global fear and its effects on the earth's energy. This will also lead to positive changes and the ability to govern effectively.- Priestly Function and Overshadowing: spreading their wings under God's authority to protect and heal.- Shaking of the Earth: God is preparing to reveal His unshakable kingdom. Believers are called to take their place and bring light to areas previously dominated by darkness.- Kingdom Advancement: believers are stepping into their roles to enforce His rule of love, joy, and peace. This period of transition, although challenging, is seen as a time of great opportunity and glorification of the Lord.LINKS:- Connect with Virginia, and check out her free blog and shop full of music and teachings, including the Miracles Are Normal online course.http://VirginiaKillingsworth.com- Join All Things Restored gathering every Sunday night on Facebook.

200: Pt. 1 Becoming Formless & Void | Virginia Killingsworth on Spirit-Centered Business™I am celebrating our 200th episode with my dear friend and spiritual powerhouse, Virgina Killingsworth! We talk about the opportunity to surrender to God's redesign and transformation when we allow ourselves to become “tohu wa-bohu” in Hebrew, meaning formless and void. It's a place of “no longer self, but Christ who lives in me.” She is launching a new program to mentor people through the process of letting go and becoming.HIGHLIGHTS:Introduction of "Overshadowed”: Virginia describes receiving a divine blueprint or download for the project, which is structured discipleship, helping individuals grow and mature in their spiritual walk.Effective Discipleship: Emphasis on purposeful and effective discipleship, rather than a haphazard approach.Backstory: Her song "Overshadow Me" inspired by Mary's song in Luke 1, symbolizing alignment with divine purpose.Creative Process: receiving inspiration and then working it out through intentional practice.Transformation through Overshadowing: Describes how overshadowing involves the Holy Spirit displacing negativity with supernatural life, similar to the process of transformation at the cross.Classroom Analogies: Virginia uses the metaphor of "classrooms" to describe different stages of spiritual growth and learning, including the "king's classroom" and "co-creation classroom."Tohu wa-Bohu: Virginia explains the Hebrew terms for "formless and void" in Genesis 1, relating it to a state of spiritual preparation and creation.Surrender and Trust: Emphasizes the importance of absolute surrender and trust in God, overcoming the innate mistrust of human nature.Maturity Map: Reference to 1 John 2 as a guide for spiritual maturity, involving stages from child to young man to father.Transformation and Growth: The idea that overshadowing relates to personal transformation, from spiritual rebirth to physical transfiguration, and pulling from eternity.Role of Yielding: Highlights the necessity of yielding to God's transformative work, allowing Him to cultivate trust and faithfulness in believers.Continuous Growth: The ongoing process of stepping beyond comfort zones and experiencing God's faithfulness as a part of spiritual growth.Overshadowing appears throughout the Bible, from Genesis to the New Testament.Genesis and Creation: The overshadowing theme begins with Genesis, where it symbolizes the divine influence in creation.Exodus 34: God's overshadowing presence during Moses' encounter on Mount Sinai, which is described as a portal to the heavenly realm and the beginning of the old covenant.Psalm 91: The benefits of being under the shadow of God's wings, including protection, divine care, and healing.Mary's Conception: The overshadowing of Mary by the Holy Spirit as described in Luke 1:35, leading to the miraculous birth of Jesus.Jesus' Transfiguration: Jesus' transfiguration on the mount, where a bright cloud overshadowed them, as a significant event showing divine approval and revelation.Acts 5:15: The reference to Peter's shadow healing the sick as an example of divine power overshadowing through Peter.Gideon's Story: The analogy of Gideon's clay vessel and the light shining through it as a metaphor for breaking open the flesh to reveal the true self.Christianity vs. Other Religions: The discussion touches on the difference between Christianity and other religions, emphasizing relationship over ritualistic practices.Tree of Life vs. Tree of Knowledge: The contrast between the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and how Christianity offers a different approach to understanding and living.Mature Judgment: The distinction between false and true judgment, and the role of spiritual maturity in discerning good from evil.False Judgment: How false judgment can arise from immaturity and separation from God, contrasted with the true judgment that comes from oneness with God.LINKS:- Connect with Virginia, and check out her free blog and shop full of music and teachings, including the Miracles Are Normal online course.http://VirginiaKillingsworth.com- Join All Things Restored gathering every Sunday night on Facebook.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are two much-heralded technologies set to revolutionise signals intelligence collection, processing and dissemination. An increasingly congested radio spectrum is set to challenge the limits of human cognition in the search for the signal of interest. In this episode of Radioflash! we catch up with Patrick ‘Krown' Killingsworth, EpiSci's director of autonomy projects. We define the terms Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and their unique capabilities. ML algorithms are trained on huge amounts of data which makes these algorithms great for processing huge amounts of data, a key requirement in Signals Intelligence (SIGINT). The application of AI and ML in SIGINT is not necessarily about replacing the human but helping the SIGINT operator sort these data. Nonetheless, the continuing introduction of AI and ML into SIGINT analysis prompts concern and enthusiasm in equal measure. Ensuring that enough data are available for training algorithms creates challenges given the paucity of data which the SIGINT cadre may be interested in. We talk about the risks of using synthetic data for training and tackling the risk by anticipating potential problems from the start. AI- and ML-enabled SIGINT systems continue to get smarter, faster and more accurate. The future brings challenges in terms of moving this SIGINT technology from the strategic level to the tactical edge, although edge computing in the tactical domain should help no end in this regard.

Epistemic Status: somewhat confident: I may have made coding mistakes. R code is here if you feel like checking. Introduction: In their 2022 article, Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Kahneman looked to reconcile the results from two of their papers. Kahneman (2010) had reported that above a certain income level ($75,000 USD), extra income had no association with increases in individual happiness. Killingsworth (2021) suggested that it did. Kahneman and Killingsworth (henceforth KK) claimed they had resolved this conflict by (correctly) hypothesizing that: 1) There is an unhappy minority, whose unhappiness diminishes with rising income up to a threshold, then shows no further progress (i.e., Kahnemann's leveling off); 2) In the happier majority, happiness continues to rise with income even in the high range of incomes (i.e., Kllingsworth continued log-linear finding) (More info on this discussion can be found in Spencer Greenberg's thoroughly enjoyable blog post.

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: Against a Happiness Ceiling: Replicating Killingsworth & Kahneman (2022), published by charlieh943 on May 29, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Epistemic Status: somewhat confident: I may have made coding mistakes. R code is here if you feel like checking. Introduction: In their 2022 article, Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Kahneman looked to reconcile the results from two of their papers. Kahneman (2010) had reported that above a certain income level ($75,000 USD), extra income had no association with increases in individual happiness. Killingsworth (2021) suggested that it did. Kahneman and Killingsworth (henceforth KK) claimed they had resolved this conflict. They hypothesized correctly that: 1. There is an unhappy minority, whose unhappiness diminishes with rising income up to a threshold, then shows no further progress 2. In the happier majority, happiness continues to rise with income even in the high range of incomes 1) refers to Kahnemann's leveling off finding; 2) refers to Kllingsworth's continued log-linear finding. (More info on this discussion can be found in Spencer Greenberg's thoroughly enjoyable blog post . Spencer goes into the correlation/causation debate which I don't go into here.) Here, I reproduce these findings from KK (2022) using a different dataset - the 2012 Health Survey for England. This dataset is smaller (n= 7,179, rather than 33,391), and uses a different collection technique. The NHS's wellbeing variable was collated from 14 individual responses to a self-questionnaire, whilst the KK variable uses experience-sampling: i.e. pinging participants at random points in the day. KK regard experience sampling as the gold-standard, and whilst the NHS data had around 100,000 data points on wellbeing, the KK data had over 1.7 million experience-sampling reports. So, you might be thinking: why bother to replicate the paper with worse NHS data? The first answer is a mixture of convenient access through my uni and personal curiosity. Though, I also think this analysis had some useful insights for others too. The KK paper looked solely at hedonic wellbeing - asking participants, "how do you feel right now?". Whereas, the wellbeing scale here (WEMWBS) looks to capture hedonic and eudaimonic aspects, including questions about immediate emotional experience and life satisfaction. (More about the variable is here.[1]) Given this, taken together with other minor differences - e.g. surveys versus experience pings; UK adults, rather than US employees -I felt it would be somewhat surprising if the KK findings replicated on the NHS data. … And, they did. Summary of Findings Overall, I found similar results to Killingsworth and Kahnemann (2022) in 4 notable respects: 1. There is a linear relationship between log income and median happiness, although this relationship is small 2. For a large proportion of the population (i.e. at p=50, 70, 85), this log-linear relationship continued above a fairly high income threshold (£50,000 in 2012), and: 3. For a small minority (p=85) the slope of the log-linear graph increased slightly (although not significantly) 4. For a large minority of the population (p = 5, 10, … 35), extra income had no association with increased levels of happiness. This constitutes a small update towards the KK findings, and thus against the view that there is a 'happiness ceiling' which the happiest in society have already reached. Results Before going into the results, I want to clarify two terms here: 1. Relative Leveling Off: the slope of the happiness against (log) income plot decreases after a certain income threshold. 2. Absolute Leveling Off: the slope of the happiness against (log) income plot is indistinguishable from 0 after a certain income threshold. The 2022 paper uses an income threshold of $100,000.

EPISODE TRANSCRIPTION INTRODUCTION Hey everyone, this is Alan. Chief Operating Officer here at ICE. Before we get started with today's episode, I want to talk to you about VersaLifts. Today's episode is brought to you by VersaLifts. Best known for their heel lift shoe inserts, VersaLifts has been a leading innovator in bringing simple but highly effective rehab tools to the market. If you have clients with stiff ankles, Achilles tendinopathy, or basic skeletal structure limitations keeping them from squatting with proper form and good depth, a little heel lift can make a huge difference. VersaLifts heel lifts are available in three different sizes and all of them add an additional half inch of h drop to any training shoe, helping athletes squat deeper with better form. Visit www.vlifts.com/icephysio or click the link in today's show notes to get your VersaLifts today. ALAN FREDENDALLTeam, good morning. Welcome to the PT on ICE Daily Show. Happy Thanksgiving. We hope your Thursday morning is off to a fantastic start. We're here on Thursday, Leadership Thursday, talking all things small business management, practice ownership, that sort of thing. Thursday, Thanksgiving Thursday, still means it is Gut Check Thursday. This week's Gut Check Thursday is a little bit of a tradition around here at ICE. We are gonna do a hero workout called Burp. This is a very long bodyweight workout. Starts with 50 burpees, a 400-meter run, 100 pushups, a 400-meter run, 150 walking lunges, a 400-meter run, 200 air squats, a 400-meter run, and then now we're going to come back down that pyramid. 150 walking lunges, 400-meter run, 100 pushups, 400-meter run, and then finally finishing with 50 burpees. So, very long workout. This is gonna take most human beings about an hour to finish. Obviously, you can tell a lot of redundancy in there with the running, the lunges, the air squats, and then the burpees and the pushups. So, if you do not have an hour today to work out, scale this. Cut all the gymnastics reps in half. Maybe cut the runs down. If you know you're a better biker than a runner or something like that, sub out a rower or a bike for the run. Obviously, the more you reduce the volume, the less time it's going to take. This workout is not for the faint of heart. This is going to make your upper body and lower body sore between all the lunges, squats, pushups, and burpees. But it is challenging. We love how simple it is. You don't really need to warm up or really have any sort of particular skill or range of motion to do this workout. So that's why we love Burp. Courses coming your way, I don't want to bother you with those today. Check out p10ice.com, click the Our Courses tab, and see what's coming your way. We do have a couple more weekends of live courses starting back up again next weekend before we take our final holiday break over Christmas and New Year's. So check out ptonice.com and click on our courses if you're interested in jumping into a live course before the end of the year. THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE Today I want to talk about a concept that I call the golden triangle. Talking about when folks reach out and they describe maybe an employment situation that they are not happy with. This is kind of how I evaluate what I think of the three pillars to success when you are not only working for someone else but just working in general. Even if you are self-employed, even if you do run your own business, carefully managing the three sides of this triangle, I believe is really important for your own personal and professional success, but also for those of you leading others in charge of others, I think even more important to fundamentally understand these concepts. So those three concepts are money, time, and autonomy, and we're gonna break each of those down here in a little bit. I want to start here though first, and this may be a weird place to start, but I promise we'll bring it back around again. I want to talk about what is the role of the human brain. A lot of us may think the human brain is for high-level computations and calculating the physics of a black hole, but that's not how most people's brains work. That's how very few amount of people's brains work, but for most of us, Our brain is a survival mechanism. It is a comparative analysis engine. And it's really good at making comparisons. Your brain is making one billion billion calculations per second. That's a one with 18 zeros. That is a million times faster than today's standard cell phone laptop or desktop computer. We call that an exaflop. It is the most powerful processor on the planet. It is always gathering data, both internally and externally, and making comparisons. Am I hot? Am I cold? Am I hungry? Am I thirsty? Am I not making enough money? Is my coworker making more money than me? Is my boss doing better than me because I noticed that he just bought a speedboat? Those sorts of things. Yes, very basic survival mechanisms, but also higher-level stuff. And that kind of brings up the next point of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. If our brain is this comparative analysis engine, what is it really focusing on? Well, psychologists would say it's focusing on comparing ourselves on this pyramid, this hierarchy of needs, where at the base we have our physiological needs. Am I hungry? Am I thirsty? Am I tired? The next level up is safety and security. Do I have a safe place to rest and sleep at night? Do I have a place maybe that in my mind when I compare to others I call my home? The next level up, the third level, love and belonging. Do I have friends? Do I have a family? Am I raising children? Not only do I have them, but do I feel like I'm thriving in those relationships? And now as we get to the top of that pyramid and we approach that peak, the fourth level is esteem and the last level is actual actualization, self-actualization. So do I feel like I am doing something meaningful, and do I feel like I'm doing something meaningful very well basically You know what is my life's work, and how am I doing at that? And now the brain is always comparing both to environmental factors and to other human beings where we sit on that hierarchy. Trying to chase the top tiers before addressing the bottom, I think is the cause of a lot of dissatisfaction in our daily lives. So shelving that for a little bit, the brain is a comparative analysis engine and hierarchy of needs. Let's get back and talk about the golden triangle. MONEY The first I want to address is money. Money is uncomfortable for some people to talk about. It's often a pain point for almost every single one of us. I think really understanding that about three-fourths of people live paycheck to paycheck and about half of all people now work two or more jobs. really helps us understand that we're not alone in being concerned about money. Most people are concerned about money, but also that it's okay to be concerned about money, right? That kind of sits at the base of that pyramid of those physiological needs, that safety and security. We do need money in modern society to do things like buy food and pay the rent on our apartment or the mortgage on our house. There's often an adage of don't focus too much on money because money can't buy everything or money can't buy happiness. And I would refute that. I would say that that is categorically untrue. We have some really interesting research from the 90s and 2000s that found money and happiness do correlate. There seems to be a plateau, at least in the earlier research, of around $100,000. Research from the 90s and early 2000s found that if you make about $100,000 a year, The more money you make. beyond that doesn't really seem to increase your happiness. Now, the thing to recognize is that if you're not making that, there is room for happiness between that and $100,000. New research, specifically from this year, an article from Killingsworth, I love that name, Dr. Killingsworth and colleagues, this year, March 2023, from the Journal of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences, titled, Income and Emotional Wellbeing, a Conflict Resolved. Strong title, I like it, let's talk about it. These folks repeated the studies, some of it their own research from the 90s and 2000s, and they're looking specifically at the relationship between income level and happiness. What they found this time is interesting that folks tend to fall into categorization buckets. Hey, we know all about that in physical therapy, right? What are these buckets? Well, human beings tend to fall into three different buckets. The first bucket is what they labeled as the least happy group. These were folks who kind of demonstrated the same results as the initial studies, where these folks seem to have a happiness plateau at about $100,000. What does that tell us? That tells us this group of people is probably motivated enough by money that once those initial levels of the pyramid are met, they're able to feed themselves every day. They're no longer worried about their next meal or making the rent or paying their bills. Beyond that, they don't seem to get any more happiness from an increased amount of income, right? So this could be somebody who, I imagine these people is the folks from the documentaries that have to you know free climb El Capitan or summon a mountain or something of that's really what drives their brain and kind of their intrinsic motivation and having enough money to do that stuff gets them to the level of happiness where they can pursue other things. The next group of people they labeled, the researchers labeled the medium happy group. These folks had a linear increase even beyond $100,000 a year with happiness and income. And then the highest happiness group had an exponential increase with income beyond $100,000. They could not seem to get enough money. Money on the opposite side of the least happy group, these folks seemed to be almost entirely intrinsically motivated by accumulating wealth, right? So these are our oil barons and our real estate moguls, our Warren Buffets maybe, folks who have a high value on money and its worth in their life. And then most of us are probably in that medium happy group. As we continue to make more money, we're able to buy nicer things, but it doesn't necessarily define us, but we do like to have that money. All that being said, there is a direct relationship between money and happiness. It's really important we recognize that paying people well, of feeling like the work that you do is rewarded with the amount of money that you place value on, is recognized both yourself personally, but also when you're leading others. What I found over my career Keep in mind, I've been working full time since I was 12 years old for about 25 years, is that the folks who tell you there isn't money for a raise, there isn't money for bonuses, or even that they maybe need to take money away from you, are telling you that because they don't want to give you more of the company's money, right? There is always more money, especially in the context of physical therapy, for an increase in your wages. We all have what we would refer to as a revenue-neutral position, which means the revenue you generate from the work you do is creating more wealth than what you are taking back from the company. I can't imagine a situation where a physical therapist would be getting paid more than what the clinic is collecting in revenue for those patients being seen. So it's really tough to talk about. I recognize that it can be awkward. It can be weird. It can be upsetting to personal and professional relationships, but I promise you when you draw a firmer line than the sand around what you're paid, when your comparative analysis engine is telling you, you're not being rewarded for the time you're putting in. That can be a pain point for dissatisfaction and the research would support that you are not wrong in believing that the money you're currently being paid and the money you think you would like to be paid is creating a happiness gap. It literally is, right? Killing's worth 2023. Messing with people's money on the leadership side is a recipe for disaster. It is never okay to cut someone's pay, to inflict some sort of monetary penalty aside from something catastrophic, right? Dave accidentally drove his car into the clinic and destroyed the clinic. Okay, Dave, you got to pay for that, right, man? But aside from really rare, unbelievable, catastrophic stuff like that. There's no reason to inflict a monetary penalty on someone or to take their benefits away. An example I have of this is my time in the army where if you messed up, if you were late to duty, If you didn't shave, you could be punished monetarily for that, right? It was called in Article 15, it is non-judicial punishment. That means usually you have to work extra duty and it usually means that they cut your pay that month. And that really puts a strain on people, especially in the context of the military where they're not already making a lot of money. And I fondly remember watching people have half their paycheck, all their paycheck taken away, and just instantly how it ruined that person, it ruined their career trajectory. So without a doubt, as a leader, that's something you do not want to mess with. We saw that mess with a lot during COVID-19. We saw pay being cut, and we saw benefits being removed, and then not returned. And it's no surprise that now, several years removed, we have the era of time that we now live in, what we call the Great Resignation, where folks are more than happy to say, give me a raise or I'm leaving, and they will literally leave, right? And for us as practice managers and owners, that's devastating. Attrition is one of the highest costs you can encounter, and you need to avoid it at all costs. When someone leaves, it's going to cost you $3,500 for every $10,000 that person makes. That's money you won't get back on maybe trading you did with them, time you spent with them, money and time you're now going to need to spend trading somebody else. And then of course lost revenue because that person is no longer working for you generating revenue. So keep that in mind when you're thinking, I'm going to withhold raises, I'm going to withhold bonuses, I'm going to otherwise inflict some sort of monetary penalty. It never goes well. And again, it's okay if money is a pain point for you personally, and if it's a pain point for the people underneath you that you're leading. Pay should always increase over time to match inflation at the minimum. I have said this a thousand times and I will say it a thousand times more. Every year you do not get a raise, you are taking a pay cut because everything in your life now costs more money to buy. So keep that in mind. I will beat that dead horse until we're all on the same page about that. And finally, I think this is something no one wants to hear. Both those of you who are maybe unsatisfied with your position because of the money and those of us leading others it is okay for people to leave a position if it's not working out for them financially, right? You cannot feed your kids with the promises of potential future money. Your landlord will not accept the ambitious dreams of your clinic owner and payment for your mortgage. and you cannot get any sort of retirement return on zero dollars invested. So it is okay to move on if this is a pain point that doesn't seem to be addressed. So money is the first part of our golden triangle. TIME The second part is time. Time is a finite resource that we're all running out of. I think every day now the moment I turn 37, I am statistically halfway dead. And statistically, every day beyond that point is that much time left I have on Earth. Time is interesting. Some folks don't feel the value at all. Some folks tend to place a great emphasis on it, maybe even more so than anything else. Humans are the only creatures that can perceive time, so I think it's unique that we're able to perceive the flow of time, and we're kind of aware of moments where we have maybe too much time that we might call boredom, and moments where we feel pressed for time. A lot of us, the majority of the human race, will spend most of our lives using our time to generate money and then trying to use some of that money to buy some of our time back. And that's the way it is, even if it is a little bit sad. But I think recognizing that that's how most of us are going to move through life is important. For some people, time will always be more valuable than money. It does not matter how much you offer someone, how much you may offer them for overtime, whatever, their time doing other stuff is important. There are those people, the clock strikes five, they're out of there and we need to understand and respect that that is one of their values and work around that in whatever way we can. Very few people though, even folks who maybe don't seem to value their time a lot, very few people do not like to have their time wasted for no reason. And this happens a lot in life. It happens a lot in day-to-day life. It happens a lot in the workplace. Think of every situation where you've shown up early or stayed late for a meeting or some other event that was canceled delayed or rescheduled even without notifying the people currently sitting and waiting there for that to happen. Every time someone schedules a meeting with me and doesn't show up, that's a strike in my mind against that person. Very few of us have the tolerance to have our time completely wasted in that manner. but it happens a lot and it happens a lot in the context of the physical therapy workforce. Think about how many times you've come to work and the first two patients on your schedule have canceled or rescheduled, right? And you're thinking, what the heck? Why didn't anybody text me or call me, right? I could have gone to the bank or I could have sat and had breakfast with my kids at home or any, literally anything else would have been a more valuable use of your time. We also, are often asked to work in situations where we know it's not a good use of our time, right? I think of every time I have been asked in the past to work on Christmas Eve, right? Especially in the context of patient care. I know as soon as I'm asked to work on Christmas Eve that no one is going to come to their appointment on Christmas Eve. I remember it's burned in my brain, I spent one Christmas Eve with a completely wiped-out schedule, laying on a treatment table, and I watched all six Rocky movies in a row, right? I watched like eight hours of Rocky movies and did not see a single patient. What a monstrous waste of my time, and the clinic's money, just a bad situation for everybody. The Japanese have a term for that. It's called "Isogaghii" is the act of pretending to be busy. Even when you have nothing to do, we hate that. That is not something that we should encourage. If you don't currently have something to do, don't be here. I live my life by that model. When I catch people sitting in the clinic and they're just kind of pushing buttons on a computer, I always ask, what are you doing here? Oh, you know, I'm, you know, final, I'm like, okay, go, go home, right? Go away. No "Isogashii". We do not need you to sit at your computer doing nothing until 9 pm just to appear busy. So that's money. That's time. AUTONOMY The last part of the triangle is autonomy and independence. It's important to know that we developed this very early, and we all have a strong sense of it, even if we don't voice that it's one of our values, right? I think of my son, he's about to be 11 months old. A couple of months ago, we were hand-feeding him, already he has that sense of autonomy. Now when I go to feed him, he slaps the food out of my hand, and then he grabs it and feeds himself, right? He's already expressing, hey, I'm not a baby. I don't need you to hand-feed me. I can feed myself, right? And that's already present in very, very small children, right? Those of you with toddlers, you know, that independent streak starts and doesn't stop. Those of you, especially with teenagers, you know, it gets more aggressive. And then obviously all of us as adults, have a very strong sense of autonomy. Again, even if we don't express it explicitly as one of our values. Just like time, autonomy is violated on a very regular basis in very unfortunate manners. This happens a lot in the workplace. A lot of you work for employers who control how you're allowed to dress. how you're allowed to speak and talk with your patients, how and when you're allowed to perform very basic physiological functions about when you can eat food. Some of you work for employers that don't let you eat or drink at work. You have to leave the building and eat outside by the dumpster like an animal because you're not allowed to eat in the building because the owner or the manager doesn't like the possibility of crumbs. That is a huge autonomy violation. We also see this in our workflow as well. A lot of us are performing unnecessary documentation so that someone can check our work, right? So that someone can audit our notes just for the purposes of having a checklist where they audit our notes, right? It serves no actual purpose as it relates to helping the patient by documenting what we did with the patient. And for those of us who take insurance, create a claim that goes to the insurance company. There is no point where it's required that all of these extra processes that we add to our workday are mandated. Nonetheless, many of us work for an employer who has all of this extra work, all of these extra checks on our autonomy just to have extra checks. That's very insulting and it creates a lot of redundant work that also simultaneously affects our time. So we are getting a one-two punch of time and autonomy when we're doing a bunch of busy work that doesn't respect our time. It doesn't respect that we're independent clinicians who have often been working a while with a bunch of advanced education. The final thing I'll say here is that what you'll unfortunately find is that leaders who micromanage more, and who place more limitations on autonomy are often the same leaders who have minimal or no restrictions on their own autonomy, right? The person who is a stickler about a dress code is often the person in the office in shorts and a t-shirt and sandals working on the computer, right? So be mindful of those things. As you are maybe seeking out a new position or evaluating your current position, there's no double standard on autonomy. THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE AS A ROBUST BASE FOR SATISFACTION So the golden triangle, the interdependence between these three things builds a very robust base personally and professionally. However, I think it's very important to note that if we take our comparative analysis engine in our brain and compare it to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, What some of us are doing is trying to aim for the very top of the pyramid, aiming for esteem, aiming for self-actualization, and trying to become the best physical therapist that can be when those other bases of the pyramid are not being met, right? We don't have our basic needs met because we don't have enough money coming in. We don't have control over our time. We don't have control over our autonomy. We talked last week about the pitfalls of social media, trying to make you think that the reason that you're unhappy is you're not buying enough stuff or consuming enough content. With that stuff in that content, mainly being focused on trying to push you to the top of the hierarchy of the needs when really what you need to do is address the base, meet those basic physiological needs, safety, security, love, Make sure that time, money, autonomy are on board before you consider purchasing that $10,000 self-help retreat or the mentorship program or the mindset program. I think a lot of our perceptions of concepts like burnout or imposter syndrome are really just the result of our comparative analysis engine and our skull recognizing differences and asymmetries between what we're doing every day and the results we're either achieving or not achieving compared to other people. And when we look and step back and look at this golden triangle, we see, okay, I am not making the money I think I should, especially compared to my peers. My time is not being respected. I'm working more than I think I should to make the money I'm making. And oh, by the way, I'm being treated Like an infant at work by having a dress code and having all of these extra redundant Processes at work that I need to do that consume more of my time and we are always again It is part of our survival. It's hardwired in our brains to make these comparisons. We're always consciously aware of the time and the work and the money and the autonomy compared especially to other people and kind of comparing again back to that hierarchy of needs. And that if we allow one or two or all sides of this triangle to be violated, that's where we find a lot of frustration, and trying to jump your way to the top is not going to get you there. You need to address that base. When folks reached out and they described their appointment situation, I used to be a lot more polite with my thoughts when people emailed us and said, what do you think? I'm seeing 20 patients a day. I'm making $62,000 a year. And every month that I see more than 250 patients, I get a $500 productivity bonus. What do you think? I used to be a lot more polite when answering those emails. I am not polite anymore, right? A lot of the dissatisfaction, a lot of the burnout, I hate that term, a lot of the burnout, though, can probably be addressed if we're a little bit more firm and reinforcing and adhering to our values of Again, money, time, autonomy, are all of those things in place? Okay, now we can begin to look more up that hierarchy, begin to pursue maybe specialization, become the best physical therapist we can be, or even if that's not something you value, the best whatever you see yourself becoming. But again, we can't get there if we don't address the base. Doing anything else is just addressing the symptoms. It's not addressing the root cause, right? We need to address the root cause first. We can't just keep treating the symptoms by buying stuff and taking vacations and that sort of thing to try to solve the unhappiness that we're perceiving. We need to know that it's all related and that we need to address it first before we can begin to kind of reach beyond the top of that pyramid. So I hope this was helpful. I would love to hear any feedback or comments you all have. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and we'll see you all tomorrow. We're gonna talk about rowing.
