Casey Stanton founded CMOx to help fitness, health, manufacturing, and technology firms accelerate their growth. He has been a marketing consultant for years and has worked with numerous companies during his career. Listen to Casey as he narrates his story to Geordie Wardman.  What you’ll Learn What prompted Casey to start selling his products online What is Casey’s description of marketing? What key problem does Casey solve? Why having the right workforce is critical for your business. The type of companies that Casey works with Why Casey founded CMO Exponential Key skills of a marketing technician Why you should manage your team tightly The importance of creating social proof What does social proof do? The importance of believing in what you do Why marketers should be factual rather than persuasive Why a sales script is important Importance of a good conversation in business In this episode: Fate has a humorous way of connecting people to their destiny, and nothing describes Casey’s experience better than this. He narrates to Geordie how he struggled to get work and later settled for mowing lawns. One day he approached a man he worked for and sought to find out how he had managed to get his life together. Casey says the answer he received that day changed his life for the best. Listen to the podcast to find out what the answer was, and the riveting events that followed.    Casey says he founded CMO Exponential, a company that specializes in providing part-time and fractional marketing officers. Together with the team, they have a pragmatic operation that they have christened the functional marketing framework. He mentions that they utilize this method on seven and eight-figure firms to help them grow. CMO Exponential also works with startups and six-figure businesses. If you fall into this category, you should listen to Casey as he explains how they can help you in your journey. Coming up with a marketing strategy, according to Casey can be challenging. However, the moment you have one, you do not have to keep on paying a chief marketing officer. Still, Casey mentions that we are living in hard times, and businesses need CMOs now more than ever. With everything going digital, Casey believes that every business intending to grow should hire a full-time CMO. If you are considering moving your business online, then Casey gives a detailed breakdown of the companies they work with. Listen in to understand how your business can benefit from collaborating with CMO Exponential. Casey offers detailed information on the impact of a marketing strategy on business success. According to Casey, while there are numerous strategies available today, not everything will work for your business. He stresses the importance of understanding your product, identifying your target consumers, and coming up with a concept that works for everybody involved. This is comprehensive coverage that all entrepreneurs will benefit from. You will need a pen and paper as you listen to this podcast. At some point, Geordie engages Casey about his new time tracking software. He seeks to find out what he would do to enhance its performance. Casey’s explanation is what every new entrepreneur needs to propel their products to the next stage. You cannot afford to miss this part of the podcast. Even as Casey explains the importance of testimonials, he also gives out the case study formula. He also explains what you should do after acquiring social proof. Listen in to find this out. One on one selling is crucial as it helps sellers see their customers and listen to their complaints. This strategy also helps entrepreneurs in figuring out why customers are not buying the products. It can also help them figure out how to improve the product, to meet customer demands. Casey advises entrepreneurs not to shy away from making a single sale in a week, especially when starting. While he understands how discouraging it can be, he says that the effort you invest today will pay you tomorrow. If you are a marketer, you know that dealing with people can be difficult, especially when they reject your product. According to Casey, sales is a chance for somebody to say no to you. All marketers should avoid losing sleep because no is part of the sales process. Casey discusses the importance of having a robust sales process, keywords, and an SEO campaign, and this is something you must listen to. According to Casey, you should not let the complexity of marketing interfere with your sales strategy. He also mentions three other very critical issues that every entrepreneur should know. Listen to the podcast to figure these out. Resources CMO Exponential Hire a professional marketer Casey Stanton LinkedIn Casey Stanton Twitter Casey Stanton website

How do you make decisions? Or the better question might be, is the way you currently make decisions serving you and your business well? We all have goals, but there are those who have figured out how to move all the right pieces to reach (and fund) every one of those goals without sacrificing their top priorities.   Dan Nicholson is the founder of Nth Degree CPAs, a Seattle-based accounting agency that looks beyond basic numbers to help business owners optimize their cash flow so they can support their highest priorities. Dan is also a creative force behind Cash Flow Engineering and the Certainty App, both of which have been designed to kick your wealth acceleration into high speed in the long term.   On this episode of Preeminence Unleashed, Nic, Dan and Jeff tackle the most important questions a business owner can ask themselves in order to get a better view of where they are now and where they want to go, how to navigate decisions that serve your priorities when there are no clear answers, and how Dan engineered the formula that will give you certainty in your decision-making and financial power in your business. Tune in for a rare interview that will break down - and build back stronger - your entire process for making decisions and building your business. What You’ll Learn: What differentiates a maximizing mindset from one that optimizes, and which one you should be focused on in your business How most business owners make their path forward a lot harder just after a profitable month or a big win - plus how you can avoid the same mistake Why the concept that there is only one singular correct way to grow your business is a myth And much more! Favorite Quote: “The reality is that most of the decisions that we face are preferences, so we need a totally different toolkit, we need to use principles to navigate solving, solving problems, because they're not binary… Because it depends on a lot of things, some of which are your preferences. But once you get the principles down and your priorities, things just become infinitely easier and much more fluid, because we have a consistent methodology to fall back on to process issues.”   Dan Nicholson   Connect with Dan: The Cash Flow Engineering Wealth Blueprint How to Get Involved: Nic Peterson and Jeff Moore are endlessly fascinated with the mindsets and practices that make smart, successful people tick - and they work closely with other entrepreneurs, business owners and service providers to put those habits and perspectives into action, making preeminence the cornerstone of every move forward.   You can connect with Nic at nicpeterson.com and masterymode.com, and you can find Jeff on LinkedIn.   And if you enjoyed the episode, be sure to visit the show on Apple Podcasts, rate and review.

I'm back again, with another solo episode! I've been thinking a lot about the importance of knowing your WHY for your outdoors adventures and fitness activities. It really helps to troubleshoot, make changes, and adjust details when you're in the middle of an activity and something goes wrong—or when you simply need to make some changes.   Knowing your WHY helps you to push yourself through challenging times so you can achieve your goals and stretch yourself out of your comfort zone. It helps with resilience. In this episode, I share a couple of examples from my recent outdoors adventures: a recent race and a fantastic 35K walk that I did last weekend.    Note: in the episode, I mention the idea of creating a separate values list for outdoors adventures, but when I sat down to do it, I realized the general values list works just as well for outdoors adventures. You can download that list via the link further down this page.   Listen To This Episode        What You'll Learn What is your WHY—what this actually means Why it's so important to know WHY you do your outdoors adventures Each adventure is different: why there's a different WHY for each experience How to use your WHY to get unstuck during an adventure How your WHY to help troubleshoot/pivot/change something Questions you can ask yourself before you start each adventure to get clear on your WHY   Things I Discussed The Best Backpacks for Hiking and Travel My running vest: Salomon Advanced Skin 12 Set Unisex Trail Running Vest Backpack  Instagram photos of my 35K walk  Joanna Penn's episode from her Books and Travel podcast: Walk Your Own Race: Lessons Learned From Walking A 50km Ultramarathon  The yummy fruit salad gel I mentioned is part of this variety pack My favorite caffeine gummies  Cara Wilde  Jane Talbot  Values list  I do X because Y.

The Buddha taught that, to be free, we need to investigate every part of our human experience with an intimate and mindful attention. This includes emotions.Emotions aren’t “bad” in and of themselves.It’s what we do when we feel them – the thoughts that ensue, the actions we take as a result – not the emotion itself, that often causes our suffering.Practicing a mindfulness of emotions helps us to learn about ourselves and our mind. It helps us not get hooked by a difficult feeling, or the buffers we turn to – like overdrinking, overworking, over-Netflixing...etc – to keep from feeling it.When we can be mindful of our emotions, we can be less reactive And that is when we have true freedom – the freedom to choose how we want to respond, instead of slipping into our default mode.For many people, the idea of being with an emotion can seem daunting.Mindfulness enables us to take advantage of what Tara Bennett-Goleman calls “the magic quarter-second” – the space between an impulse and an action.By being present with an emotion instead of indulging in the stream of thoughts that stems from the emotion, we can use this magic 1/4 second to create a different response than we normally would.We can stop the spiral of thoughts that might exacerbate an emotion by simply being present with the emotion itself.So how do we practice mindfulness of emotions?The first step is pausing to recognize that we are experiencing an emotion.The second step is choosing to be present with our moment-to-moment experience.We need to recognize the emotions with an accepting, curious and kind attention, without getting hooked; without attachment or aversion.The result of this presence becomes the capacity to release habitual reactivity, to respond to our life circumstances more skillfully, with a wise heart, and to step out of the looping thought patterns we fall into when we get hooked.Because the thoughts are what create the drama, what keeps the emotion hanging around longer than it needs to, what keeps us stuck and spiraling.Why is this importantEmotions occupy a lot of our energy and mind space. And the truth is, our feelings show up in our body – whether we are aware of this connection or not.I see so many patients that have physical manifestations of their psychological and emotional experiences; people whose deep trauma has led directly to any number of illnesses or diseases.Doing the work to be present with your emotions now can help you get to know your body and better manage your daily stressors so that you may be able to avoid other serious health issues down the road.In reality, it takes a strong dose of courage to really be with your emotions. This work is not for the faint of heart, but you can do thisRemember: the point is not to get rid of feelings, or to have some notion of the “right” feelings.Some people think equanimity means not feeling any emotion. But emotions are an amazing part of being human!We get to feel joy and feel horny, happy, connection and joy.We get to feel sadness and grief, anger and jealousy.ALL the feels.In this episode, I offer exercises for beginning to live in a more conscious relation to your myriad feelings, and give some tools for how to do this with loving self-awareness.So I invite you to join me.Learn to let your emotions season you, not rule you. Because when we can be with any emotion, we are truly free.In This Episode You’ll Learn:What the four foundations of mindfulness areWhy learning to be with your emotions will help you avoid unwanted habitual reactions – like yelling at a loved one, worrying too much, or bufferingHow to break painful patterns of thought-looping and anxiety spiraling by taking advantage of the “magic quarter-second”Why describing how the sensations of a feeling appear physically in your body is one step you can take to be more present with your emotionsTools on how to pause and recognize whether an emotion you are experiencing is either pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral – and why doing this reflexively will help you stay unhooked from judgment, attachment or aversion to your ranging feelingsWhy true freedom requires the ability to be with ANY emotionResources:// If you’re new here, grab the starter kit I created at RebelBuddhist.com. It has all you need to start creating a life of more freedom, adventure, and purpose. You’ll get access to the private Facebook group where you can ask me questions! Once you join, there’s also a weekly FB live called Wake the F*ck Up Wednesday, where you can ask questions that come up as you do this work – in all parts of your life.

If all your “stuff” is sapping your energy, this episode of Woman Worriers is for you. Host Elizabeth Cush interviews Michael Spencer, a Virtual Home Energy Coach, about how to declutter your home to make space for what really matters. Quotes: “You get to have a much better understanding of yourself and the things that you choose to carry with you in your life.” — Michael Spencer “I was able to root into my soul and say, ‘Yes, I want this,’ or ‘No, I don’t.’” — Michael Spencer “I can close the door of that closet, and yet there’s something nagging.” — Michael Spencer “These belonging that we accumulate over time have meaning for us.” — Michael Spencer “We’re learning to tune in internally to what feels right to keep, what feels right to let go.” — Michael Spencer “It takes so much energy to keep holding that lid on.” — Michael Spencer “It took a long time for these belongings to accumulate the way they did, and that’s OK.” — Michael Spencer “There is really an inner purification that’s happening as the outer purification is happening.” — Michael Spencer Do you have a counter or table piled high with catalogs and other stuff that came in the mail? A closet or dresser drawer that you have to dig through to find the shirt you’re looking for? A room that makes you want to close the door and walk away? In the course of a lifetime, we can acquire a lot of stuff, and living with it can take a lot of energy and cause a lot of anxiety. In this episode of the Woman Worriers podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., talks with Michael Spencer, founder of Let’s Purify!, who draws on her background in mental health and mindfulness to coach people who want to transform the energy of their lives and their homes. Her unique practice of home decluttering and purifying is designed to help you better understand yourself and the things that you choose to carry with you in your life.   Listen and Learn: What a virtual home energy coach does and how it’s different from a professional organizer Why traditional decluttering methods don’t work for everyone How clutter creates energy leaks and anxiety in your life Why calming and grounding techniques are helpful when you’re trying to deal with your belongings How purifying your space and aligning your home’s energy with your own can be liberating Why we often start to declutter, only to close the lid or the door and walk away Why decluttering doesn’t mean throwing out all your old stuff The most common reasons why we resist decluttering and how to work around them The relationship between shame and stuff How a virtual home energy coach can help you work through the blocks that are keeping you from getting started and developing a decluttering plan How a Mindful Walkthrough of your home can help you get clear on what you want to do How practicing a simple three-step purifying ritual in a small space can make it easier to address bigger projects when you’re ready How to identify the places in your home where the time spend shifting the energy will yield the greatest positive effects The key questions to ask yourself before tackling any decluttering—and how the process may change your intentions More Resources: > Michael Spencer’s website > Let’s Purify! podcast > Let’s Purify!

Humans have a great capacity for communication.Yes, animals can communicate in other ways with unique sounds (probably telepathic ways we aren’t able to tune into...), but because of our cerebral cortex, we are capable of communicating complex plans about the future, stories about the past, and lots of amazing, abstract ideas. It’s a real evolutionary gift. But this level of communication can also get us into a lot of trouble. We can really hurt people, or act in ways that aren’t in alignment with how we want to show up in the world – especially when we're not being mindful.When we talk about mindfulness, we tend to talk about a sense of awareness, both of ourselves and our surroundings.Mindfulness meditation, in particular, is geared towards observing our thoughts and where we are in the present moment.But what about the other aspects of ourselves?What about speech? What about listening?Words are powerful, and being mindful about what we express is as vital as paying attention to how we behave or how we think.Today, we dig into what mindful communication (as both speaking AND listening) looks like, and I offer some tools and exercises that you can try in real time to start figuring out what this means for YOU.True – this work is a lot easier said than done. So we talk about some practical tips that can help us communicate more mindfully.In a nutshell:Being mindful about speech simply means slowing down and choosing our sentences with care.It helps us recognize and undo patterns that create separation.It helps us cultivate empathy in communication.The goal of mindful speech is not to police your sentences.And it’s not to silence speaking out against injustice (quite the opposite).The point is to be conscious of the words that we often take for granted.Some people worry that mindful speech is too restrictive.But that has to do with one’s attitude around mindful speech – how we are relating to it – when really mindful speech can be a shift from an encumbrance of a rigid set of rules, to one of adventure.When we bring attention to what we’re saying we can have unexpected possibilities of how we communicate with another person; how we connect with them.It's not the opposite of spontaneity – it is what makes spontaneity possible.Truth is, we have to know that we are not going to nail mindful communication right out of the gate. If it was that easy, we’d all already be doing it.But I invite you to look at it another way; to see the work of mindful communication as an opportunity to create more freedom in your life.Because that’s really what it is. So go on.:: Learn to free yourself from your habitual patterns – your autopilot.:: Open yourself up to a more creative way of being in the world.:: Embrace the self-compassion necessary to actually grow from any fuck-ups along the way. Mindful communication will allow you to be more present, more authentic and more humble in every relationship and every facet of your day-to-day life.I can’t wait for you to get started. Life is too short not to. In This Episode You’ll Learn:What mindful communication looks like, and why it differs from the more broad mindfulnessAbout the three questions you can ask yourself to be more thoughtful during conversationsThe art of the pause – why it’s important to remember that we can create the pause, and how the acronym WAIT can help us build this reflexWhy mindful listening is more than just hearing what another person is saying – it’s bearing witness to another human’s experienceThe reason self-compassion is crucial to engaging with this work on a deep levelSome exercises you can practice in real time to help you identify where your own roadblocks lieWhy mindful communication is one of the best ways to create more freedom and spontaneity in your lifeResources:// If you’re new here, grab the starter kit I created at RebelBuddhist.com. It has all you need to start creating a life of more freedom, adventure, and purpose. You’ll get access to the private Facebook group where you can ask me questions!

There was a time when Christians and the Church pioneered much of the future, shaping culture in profound ways, from business to art to justice reform. But along the way, that redemptive, adaptive movement began to institutionalize, leaving us change-averse and frozen in time. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar welcomes innovation strategist and author, Doug Paul, who uses surprising stories and cultural analysis to help explain five phases of Kingdom innovation and how leaders in the Church today can start leading change and innovation. In This Episode You’ll Learn: What true innovation is and who are the best innovators. Why most leaders haven't really innovated their churches during the pandemic. 5 (easy to grasp) phases of innovation. How to get the training and tools you need to begin to lead change. (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) From this episode: "Innovation is a skill and it’s a muscle you can grow. You can learn how to do innovation. You weren’t born to have it or not have it, and even people who think they're naturally good at it have a lot to learn. Fundamentally, in the world in which we now live, the Christian leader missing the skill of innovation is like a carpenter missing a hammer. It’s not the only skill in the toolbelt, but not having it moving into the future, will be indefensible."

It’s astonishing that less than 5% of adults are moving 30 minutes or more a day1, so much so that it’s been said “Sitting is the new smoking.” Although, I’ve argued for years that it’s not so much sitting that’s the problem…it’s being SEDENTARY that is the new smoking (whether you are sitting or standing). Clearly working from home amidst a global pandemic hasn’t made this any less true. Being sedentary is one of the root causes of chronic aches and pains. If you are listening to (or reading) this while sitting, you likely have experienced a sore back or stiff neck from too much computer time. Maybe you have tight shoulders and tension headaches. You probably have resigned yourself to just “dealing with it” because you don’t have time or money for long workout routines or expensive equipment. It’s just the price of “getting old,” right? Well it doesn’t have to be. Today’s guest is Dr. Sadie Sanders, a doctor of chiropractic and a biomechanical guru, and she has a wealth of simple solutions for your chronic pains (that don’t require a visit to a doctor’s office). Dr. Sanders is called the “Body Whisperer” by many of her patients and for good reason – she has a knack for knowing just what the body needs to bring it back into balance, and she focuses on root causes, not just treating symptoms. In today’s 2-part in-depth conversation we talk about Dr. Sanders’ extensive knowledge of biomechanics as well as physiology and how it’s all interconnected. But more importantly, we dive into how to eliminate your chronic pains right at your desk or in your living room using very simple stretches and exercises inside the “Move Yourself Activity Video Vault” (part of my Working From Home Survival Guide which I have made available to you for free). If you’re ready to eliminate your aches and pains and looking for simple solutions that you can do in just a few minutes a day…right at your desk…this episode is for you. [Disclaimer: This episode is pulled from two in-depth interviews from the Fitness In Post archives that we stitched into a single marathon episode. Also since recording, Dr. Sanders has since moved out of the Los Angeles area, but her Health and Human Performance clinic is still thriving in Woodland Hills with a new head doctor, Dr. Cobey who is my go-to for all my biomechanical needs. And yes, they are still fully functional during the pandemic.] Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One? » Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here’s What You’ll Learn: What is the goal of a chiropractor and how do they evaluate you and your joints?

What happens when you hear that cracking/popping sound (and why can’t you do it yourself?) Why you may experience emotional reactions to chiropractic adjustments. The main areas of chronic pain for people who sit all day Dr. Sanders incredible psychological assessment of me based solely on my muscle tension. The difference between a chiropractor and physical therapist.

OR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Academic Mediocrity of American Students Examined in Thought-Provoking Comparison of Educational Approaches Brooklyn, NY, September 23, 2020 — East Asian students have always gained higher scores on the international comparative tests than American students. How can this be explained? In A Mirror for Americans: What the East Asian Experience Tells Us about Teaching Students Who Excel, Dr. Cornelius Grove provides the explanation. Distilling 50 years of anthropological research into East Asian primary classrooms, Grove offers insights into East Asian teaching methods and, more significantly, into the societal values that shape East Asian teaching. But A Mirror for Americans, about teaching, provides only half of the explanation. The other half is about East Asian families and parenting, revealed by Grove in his 2017 book, The Drive to Learn: What the East Asian Experience Tells Us about Raising Students Who Excel. “The purpose of my books,” explains Grove, “is to convey to the general reader the research findings from East Asia, where societal values unlike ours shape child-rearing and primary school teaching. There’s an ‘Aha!’ moment: If only we could think differently about children and their classroom learning, we could raise the level of our own youngsters’ performance.” A Mirror for Americans concerns itself with preschool through grade 5, comparing the culture of teaching in East Asia and the U.S. Among the research-generated facts revealed are these: · In preschool and grade 1, East Asian children are taught, and they practice, individual and group behaviors that promote their own learning and their teacher’s efficient lesson delivery. · Teachers design lessons based on the internal logic of the content they are teaching, not on factors such as a need to motivate, have fun learning or draw out pupil creativity. But they do strive to present content so that all their pupils – slower and more advanced – will benefit. · Whether a lesson is student-centered or teacher-centered doesn’t concern East Asians. Grove’s conclusion is that East Asian lessons are knowledge-centered, a key explanation for why East Asian students outperform their American peers on those international tests. Explains Grove, “Attitudes toward learning brought from home, plus methods of teaching encountered at school, mold East Asian youngsters into superior students. These research-generated facts ca

  Joanna Hennon and I are back with another co-hosted episode! This week, we’re talking about how to use oracle cards in your outdoor adventures, and how the cards can enrich your inner journey. Ever since I first walked the South Downs Way, I’ve been pulling oracle cards before my long-distance walks. I pull one card for each day, and sometimes I’ll pull an extra card to represent the overarching theme of the journey. It helps me to set the intention for each day, and gives me insight into what’s going on for me internally. Plus, when the going gets rough (physically), it gives me a mantra to focus on as I put one foot in front of the other toward my destination.   More about Joanna Hennon Joanna is a #SoulSmart Success Mentor – she helps people to easily create more success by using the wisdom and power we all have access to at soul level.

Join Jill for her interview with award-winning journalist and author of the book The Likeability Trap, Alicia Menendez, as they examine the impossible bind women find themselves in: to succeed, women must be competent and likeable; but the more women are seen as competent, and the more they achieve, the less likeable they become.

You've heard about it, and it's not going away anytime soon. The "cancel culture" can hit anyone at any time–even you–if you've ever said or done something that a very vocal group of people disagree with. Unfortunately, the Church is not immune to this type of "canceling" of our own. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll take a look at how God deals with messed up people and disagreements. Did he cancel the reputation and livelihood of some of history’s most famous sinners? We'll hear some Good News for all of this, and I'll give you 5 Rules for combating the cancel culture in your life today. In This Episode You’ll Learn: What the 'cancel culture' is, and how to know if you've been "canceled". Ways you may have canceled people in your life and not known it. How the Good News of the Gospel speaks to and cancels the 'cancel culture'. 5 Rules for combating the cancel culture in your life today. (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) From this episode: "Some Christians are quick to point to Matthew 18 and the words found here about dealing with a brother or sister who sins and refuses to listen. We are told to treat them as an outsider, an unbeliever… a pagan. Ok. How are we to treat unbelievers? With grace and compassion and patience, showing them perfect love and kindness that casts out fear and control and leads to repentance... Which is a renewing of the mind, a new belief."

3 Books is a completely insane and totally epic 15-year-long quest to uncover the 1000 most formative books in the world. Each chapter is hosted live and in-person at the guest's preferred location by Neil Pasricha, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Awesome, The Happiness Equation, Two-Minute Mornings, etc. Each chapter of 3 Books uncovers and discusses the three most formative books from one of the world's most inspiring people. Sample guests include: Judy Blume, David Sedaris, Chris Anderson of TED, the founder of the world's largest feminist magazine, the world's greatest Uber driver, Pete Holmes, Angie Thomas, and Malcolm Gladwell.

For more info check out: https://www.3books.co/ Chapter Description: In Shane Parrish’s first group project during his MBA he watched as his professor got into some verbal fisticuffs with his partner on a project. They were debating the logic behind his group’s presentation. They disagreed about it! And, eventually, his partner got up and shouted, “I am wasting my time here!” before storming out of the room, out of the class, and out of the program in one fell Costanza-like swoop. Shane fortunately caught up with the unnamed hero in this little caper while he was waiting for a taxi and said, “What happened back there? I thought we did the project right. Why did we get such a different answer than the professor?” His partner’s two-word answer ended up changing Shane’s life. He said simply: “Charlie Munger”. Who is Shane Parrish? He’s a former spy who, to quote the NY Times, ‘helps Wall Street mavens think smarter.’ He’s become an unlikely guru to the world’s intellectual elite with strategies appealing to an overachieving audience across high finance, Silicon Valley and professional sports. He runs Farnam Street, colloquially known as FS.blog, which aims to ‘help you master the best of what other people have already figured out.’. FS.blog helps readers optimize decision-making through a giant worldwide community of thousands of people, a virtual think tank of professionals who can help “shorten the path to wisdom’ and self-education. FS is also: an award-winning newsletter (Brain Food), a podcast called The Knowledge Project (which I guested on not so long ago) and a series of incredible books called The Great Mental Models that Shane Parrish and his team personally publish.  So how do you meet a spy? You fly to him. And so I did. Up to Ottawa, Canada and into the new Farnam Street Offices on Bank Street — all pre-pandemic. To say I’m intrigued by Shane is an understatement. He is a voracious reader with  insights and worldly wisdom on big questions like: What does it mean to think better? How should we think about our thinking? What is intelligence and how should we measure it? How do we build trust in relationships? What does it mean to be a gentleman these days? How do you raise boys into great men? And, of course, what are Shane Parrish’s 3 most formative books? Are you ready? Let’s go. What You'll Learn: What does it mean to live a more meaningful life? How should we create trust in the world today? How do we create art with integrity? How do we think about sponsorship? How do you make adult friendships? How do you live life without lawyers? How do we develop trust without contracts? You can find show notes and more information by clicking here:  https://www.3books.co/chapters/60    Leave us a voicemail.

Cognitive dissonance. It’s one of those big, fancy scientific terms you may have heard before but only have a vague understanding of what it actually means when you really try to think about it.The official dictionary definition? Cognitive dissonance is “The state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.”But in lay people's terms – and in terms of how to apply this concept to creating a life of freedom, adventure and purpose – cognitive dissonance is as simple as this: feeling like shit as you try to create a new belief.Because to create a new result in your life, you need to create a new way of thinking. And that process feels...very uncomfortable.The “cognitive” part of cognitive dissonance refers to the mind – more specifically, our thoughts.It also refers to the dissonance that exists between two different thoughts in your brain that are occurring simultaneously (a.k.a. when who we think we are is different from what we are doing).For example, that moment when you’re like “Wait, I think of myself as a healthy person, but I’m drinking a bottle of wine every night.” There’s cognitive dissonance there that makes us uncomfortable because two thoughts are clashing. In that sense, it can also be helpful in letting us know when things are out of alignment.But it isn’t as helpful when we want to create something new, and that something new is different from our current reality and belief systems.Because when you have two thoughts that contradict each other in your brain, you are going to have mental discomfort.Which (let’s be honest) feels like shit.So here’s the rub.Anytime you want to create a new result in life, you have to DO things differently which means you need to THINK differently.Like Einstein said, “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”To create something new – to achieve a new goal – you will need a new thought....Welcome to cognitive dissonance.In this episode, we dig into confirmation bias, what it takes to change your belief systems about yourself, how to let go of old beliefs in order to create new ways of thinking, and how to sit with the mental discomfort that comes when you set goals that push you beyond what you previously thought you were capable of.The bottom line is that developing a willingness and an ability to be uncomfortable really is what you have to do to experience deep growth and change. To go for your dreams. To make a meaningful difference in this world.So go on, I dare you.Develop the muscle and the resilience to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time and not shy away from the dissonance this sparks.Learn to bridge the gap between your old belief systems and the new ones you want to create.Decide what you want in life – then practice believing you can get it – and build the skills to go f*cking make it happen.The world needs you to invest in yourself like this right now. To put in the work.And remember: there is a reward for you on the other side of all this.In This Episode You’ll Learn:What cognitive dissonance is – how to recognize it, how to create new thoughts and let go of old beliefsWhy cognitive dissonance is the reason most people don’t want to set goalsLots about confirmation bias – why the brain is constantly trying to prove what it already thinks of as trueWhy, in order to create change in your life, you need to be willing to experience cognitive dissonance and the mental discomfort that comes with itMore on our FAVE topic: the mighty Motivational Triad – and how it relates (almost contrarily) to the way cognitive dissonance moves you towards discomfort & away from pleasure or what’s easyHow to bridge the gap between the two models of your life – the one in which you currently live, and the one in which you WANT to live;)What laddering thoughts are and how to use them to change your belief systems about yourselfWhy cognitive dissonance is actually required for us to live the best version of our own livesHow my business is literally built around helping people feel really uncomfortable – and why developing a willingness to be uncomfortable is the recurring theme that lies at the heart of SO much thoughtwork, mindfulness and resilience buildingTips & tools for changing an old, habitual thought into a new one that can change your life – and others’ lives tooResources:// If you want more of this Jedi juice, head over to our Rebel Buddhist Facebook page and join the free private group where important conversations are happening in a safe place.

3 Books is a completely insane and totally epic 15-year-long quest to uncover the 1000 most formative books in the world. Each chapter is hosted live and in-person at the guest's preferred location by Neil Pasricha, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Awesome, The Happiness Equation, Two-Minute Mornings, etc. Each chapter of 3 Books uncovers and discusses the three most formative books from one of the world's most inspiring people. Sample guests include: Judy Blume, David Sedaris, Chris Anderson of TED, the founder of the world's largest feminist magazine, the world's greatest Uber driver, Pete Holmes, Angie Thomas, and Malcolm Gladwell. Each of the 333 chapters is dropped on the exact minute of every single new moon and full moon until September 1, 2031. 3 Books is an Apple "Best Of" award-winning show and 100% ad-free, commercial-free, sponsor-free, and interruption-free. For more info check out: https://www.3books.co/ Chapter Description: Where in the world are you right now? Are you in cramped apartment in a busy downtown core? Are you in a countryside farm beside a tiny general store? Or are you in a basement hotel gym in Ulaanbaatar?  And, more importantly, why in the world are you where you are? Are you chasing a career? Are you in school? Did you move for love? Does inertia have you wedged deeply into your neighborhood? Well, where ever you are, I can promise you this: by the end of Chapter 59 you won’t look at where you live the same way ever again. Why? Because my next guest is a visionary city planner and urban designer and who will guide us through the power of place and principled planning. Sidenote: Chapter 59 is our first rabbit hole chapter of 3 Books. You may recall Anne Bogel introduced us to Jeff Speck by picking his book Walkable City as one of her three most formative back in Chapter 57. She was in love with the book, I fell in love with the book, and we ended up inviting Jeff onto the show. So who is Jeff Speck? Well, he’s an internationally renowned city planner and urban designer, recognized for his research surrounding, and advocacy for, more walkable cities. He was Director of Design at the National Endowment for the Arts from 2003-2007, he was also Director of Town Planning at DPZ & Co (the founders of the  New Urbanist movement) for over 10 years and now heads up his own consulting practice, advising cities and mayors across the globe. He is a fellow at both the Congress for the New Urbanism and the American Institute of Certified Planners and has made conversations surrounding walkability mainstream via his two TED Talks viewed over 4 million times: The Walkable City and 4 Ways to Make a City More Walkable.   And as if the above planning pedigree were not enough, he is the author of several books including the aforementioned Walkable City, the top selling city planning book for the past decade, (and #832 in our Top 1000!) as well as Suburban Nation, declared by the Wall Street Journal as ‘the urbanists bible’ In this chapter we deep dive into: What is walkability and what is its true value? What is the relationship between design and well-being? What are the true costs of car ownership? How can city planning combat loneliness? How does poor planning perpetuate racism? What makes a good mayor? Jeff is a wonder brain. Humble, articulate, passionate, he’s a man on a mission. His mind has these cranks and gears that allow him to see the world with giant perspective and distill things down to simple ideas for us to absorb and reflect upon.  Are you ready? Let’s go! What You’ll Learn: What is urban planning? Where and how did urban planning go wrong in the twentieth century? What is necessary to create human-scale livable spaces? Why are many cities failing its citizens? How much is car dependency hurting us? Why is strangeness important? What is the importance of the concept of live, work, play in planning? Why is it illegal to build mixed use walkable communities to this day in the US? How has the pandemic affected how we build and think about our cities? And, of course, what are Jeff Speck’s three most formative books? You can find show notes and more information by clicking here:  https://www.3books.co/chapters/59      Leave us a voicemail.
