This week, we're watching Leaving Las Vegas, a film that doesn't ask for redemption, only recognition. Nicolas Cage gives us Ben, unraveling with grace and fire, while Elisabeth Shue's Sera offers a love that doesn't try to fix—just to see. Together, they create something devastatingly honest: a portrait of two broken souls who find fleeting solace in each other's ruin. Did you enjoy the episode?

Jeffrey is helemaal in de gloria want vandaag staat een van zijn favoriete acteurs centraal: Nicolas Cage!Maart was een middelmatige filmmaand met een paar kleine hoogtepunten en eigenlijk geen echte dieptepunten. We lichten de films 'Last Breath' en 'Mickey 17' uit als positieve verrassingen en Erwin en Jeffrey benadrukken nog maar even hoe belangrijk het is om films in de bioscoop te zien...puur voor de ervaring.Erwin heeft een mooi college gemaakt over method acteur Nicolas Cage. Hij neemt ons mee in de bizarre methodes die Cage heeft toegepast voor zijn rollen en vertelt ons hoe Cage zijn eigen "kunstvorm" heeft genoemd. Als je nog niet van Cage hield, doe je dit vast en zeker na dit leuke college!Jeffrey keek de film 'Knowing' op Videoland. Lichtelijk teleurgesteld want Erwin had ook nog 'Face/Off' als optie maar besloot 'Knowing' te schenken. Jeffrey schuift zijn teleurstelling (wederom) niet onder stoelen en banken en laat weten waar de film, volgens hem, steken heeft laten vallen. Erwin viel meer in de prijzen. Hij keek 'Leaving Las Vegas' op Videoland, de film waarvoor Cage zijn (enige) Oscar heeft gekregen. Hoe viel deze zware maar indrukwekkende film bij Erwin? LET OP: Dit stukje heeft een triggerwarning i.v.m. suicide en verslaving. Wil je Leaving als vegas overslaan? Ga dan weer verder vanaf 32:40! April is alweer hier en er is genoeg om naar uit te kijken. Benieuwd waar onze filmfanaten naar uitkijken, je hoort het tegen het einde van de aflevering. In de volgende aflevering wederom een icoon die we zullen uitlichten, Erwin gaat ons laten genieten van Meryl Streep! Voor deze aflevering kijkt Jeffrey 'The Devil Wears Prada' op Disney+ en kijkt Erwin 'Florence Foster Jenkins'.

Join Andrew Gordon and John Humphrey as they dive into the riotous 2022 meta action comedy, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. In this wildly self-aware film, Nicolas Cage—renowned for his iconic roles in Leaving Las Vegas, Moonstruck, and National Treasure—plays a fictionalized version of himself, forced to confront his own legendary persona in a high-stakes adventure. When Cage is roped into attending the birthday bash of a formidable underworld figure, played by the dynamic Pedro Pascal (celebrated for his standout work in The Mandalorian and The Last of Us), the night quickly spirals into an unpredictable blend of explosive action, razor-sharp humor, and outrageous meta references. John & Andrew break down every exhilarating moment—from the hilariously absurd action set-pieces and tongue-in-cheek homages to Cage's storied filmography, to the film's unexpected twists that blur the lines between reality and performance.

Episode 192 - Leaving Las Vegas: Our Acumatica Summit Review Part 1 of 2
This movie is just devastating.Leaving Las Vegas (1995)Adapted from the novel by John O'Brien, this acclaimed drama follows alcoholic screenwriter Ben Sanderson (Nicolas Cage) as he drinks himself into oblivion in Las Vegas. When Ben meets the beautiful prostitute Sera (Elisabeth Shue), they strike up an unconventional relationship -- one where she can't ask him to curb his drinking, and he can't fault her for her job. Though they offer each other support, Ben's self-destruction threatens to eclipse their bond. (Synopsis via Rotten Tomatoes)
Josh and Drusilla discuss Jack Clayton's gothic masterpiece, The Innocents (1961). From wiki: “The Innocents is a British-American 1961 gothic psychological horror film directed and produced by Jack Clayton, and starring Deborah Kerr, Michael Redgrave, and Megs Jenkins. Based on the 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw by the American novelist Henry James, the screenplay was adapted by William Archibald and Truman Capote, who used Archibald's own 1950 stage play—also titled The Innocents—as a primary source text. Its plot follows a governess who watches over two children and comes to fear that their large estate is haunted by ghosts and that the children are being possessed.”Also discussed: killer kids, The Palm Beach Story, Midnight (1939), A Small Back Room, The Lost Weekend, and other alcoholic movies. They discuss Smashed, Leaving Las Vegas, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, Just Me and You (1979), Charles GRODIN!, Happiness, Eddie Izzard, The Shining adaptations, cinemascope, and more.

Send us a textOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are wishing we were Nicolas Cage and best friends with Pedro Pascal. We watched the 2022 film from Tom Gormican, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.I'm putting it out there right now: Nic Cage is one of our finest actors. Not only is he a freaking Oscar winner, but he also does weird meta movies like this one. Doesn't he seem like the craziest hang imaginable?There may have been some tough years in his past. Who among us doesn't occasionally have some money troubles and have to accept work we'd rather not do? But should we get on his case for stuff like Bangkok Dangerous and Drive Angry?For every one of those films, there's a Moonstruck, a Leaving Las Vegas, a The Rock. He's the best, and he shows us why in this delightful film.(Recorded on September 18, 2024)Links to Stuff We Mentioned:The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - The Movie Database (TMDB)The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent trailer - YouTubeTom Gormican — The Movie Database (TMDB)Nicolas Cage — The Movie Database (TMDB)Pedro Pascal — The Movie Database (TMDB)Nicolas Cage: Real estate and tax problems - WikipediaThe Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Paddington (2014) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Paddington 2 (2017) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Guarding Tess (1994) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Vampire's Kiss (1988) — The Movie Database (TMDB)American Psycho (2000) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Batmobiles down the ages - Pocket-lintFollow Us:Give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts!Sean's Letterboxd profile!Steven's Letterboxd profile!Our Buzzsprout site!Our Instagram profile!Support the show

Drunk numb stumbling Ben burns his life away to drive into oblivion. The tarnished angel he finds along the way dotes lovingly. She is a caretaker for the walking dead, captive to their gravity. Grey Ben, resisting, married to the bottle, the hell of his life, singes the angel's wings. And, despite it all, in the end, she mounts him as he dies and says her goodbyes to the early morning light. "Sera... what you don't understand is - no, see, no. You can never, never ask me to stop drinking. Do you understand?"

Cities have always been romanticized, but few of them have embraced—or actively engineered—their reputations as thoroughly as Las Vegas. On the second in a series of Critics at Large interview episodes, Alexandra Schwartz talks with her fellow staff writer Nick Paumgarten about how the desert town first branded itself as an entertainment capital, and how that image has been reified in pop culture ever since. The two consider seminal Vegas texts, from Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 novel, “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” to the bro comedy “The Hangover,” and Paumgarten reflects on his recent pilgrimage to see Dead & Company, the latest iteration of the Grateful Dead, during the band's residency at the Sphere. In theory, a Vegas residency should be a career high—but the expectations around them can also leave an artist trapped in amber. It's a danger that applies to places as much as people. “How do you reinvent yourself when you've achieved this cultural-icon status?” Schwartz asks. “In some ways, I wonder if that's also a question for the city itself.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Reckoning with the Dead at the Sphere,” by Nick Paumgarten (The New Yorker)“Swingers” (1996)“Double or Quits,” by Dave Hickey (Frieze)“Learning from Las Vegas,” by Robert Venturi, Steven Izenour, and Denise Scott Brown“Viva Las Vegas” (1964)“Leaving Las Vegas” (1995)“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” by Hunter S.

The boys head to 1995 to discuss ‘Leaving Las Vegas', Nicolas Cage's Oscar-winning role, and whether or not there can be such a thing as too much jazz scatting in a film score. We set the scene, give you some context of world and film news from 1995, and sink our teeth into a productive conversation about this emotional film about an alcoholic (Cage) and his prostitute friend, Elizabeth Shue. Dave opens the episode with a mini-review of ‘Borderlands,' the Eli Roth video game series adaptation that critics and audiences shunned, despite starring huge names: Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Jamie Lee Curtis!

In this 236th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this week's episode, we discuss the attack on merit that is revealed in the Olympics Opening Ceremony. We discuss also attacks on Christianity, corporate ESG scores, the relationship of “queer culture” to gay culture, and the memory-holing of what democrats used to think about both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Also: what does it mean to be weird (or WEIRD)? Used to be that liberal cities like Portland and Austin were proud to be weird, but now true-blue democrats are being told that being different is unacceptable. This from the same people who are removing the word “mother” from legal documents, and holding segregated meetings for “white dudes” in support of their chosen candidate. Finally, Seymour Hersh reports that the 25th Amendment was invoked to get Biden to step down as nominee.*****Our sponsors:CBDistillery: Cannabinoid products that are safe, clean, and effective.

This episode of Across The Margin: The Podcast presents an interview with Zach Schonfeld, a freelance writer, journalist, and critic based in New York. He contributes to Pitchfork, Paste Magazine, and other publications. He was formerly a senior writer for Newsweek, where he was on staff for five years. His first book, 24-Carat Black's Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth was published in 2020 as part of the 33 1/3 series. His latest book — entitled How Coppola Became Cage — is the focus of this episode. In 1982, a gangly teenager named Nicolas Coppola made his film debut and changed his name to Nicolas Cage, determined to distance himself from his famous family. Once he achieved stardom as the rebel hunk of 1983's Valley Girl, Cage began a career defined by unorthodox risks and left turns that put him at odds with the stars of the Brat Pack era. How Coppola Became Cage takes readers behind the scenes of the beloved cult movies that transformed this unknown actor into an eccentric and uncompromising screen icon with a wild-eyed gift for portraying weirdos, outsiders, criminals-and even a romantic capable of seducing Cher. Throughout How Coppola Became Cage Zach Schonfeld traces Cage's rise through the world of independent cinema and chronicles the stories behind his career-making early performances, from the method masochism of Birdy to the operatic torment of Moonstruck and abrasive expressionism of Vampire's Kiss, culminating with the astonishing pathos of Leaving Las Vegas. Drawing on more than 100 new interviews with Cage's key collaborators — including David Lynch, Martha Coolidge, John Patrick Shanley, and Mike Figgis — How Coppola Became Cage offers a revealing portrait of Cage's wildly intense devotion to his performances and his creative self-discovery as he drew on influences as far-flung as silent cinema and German Expressionism. These were all crucial ingredients in the creation of a singular acting style that rejects the limits of realism. Join in as host Michael Shields and Zach Schonfeld celebrate an actor that Ethan Hawke describes as “the only actor in the history of the form to really change the form” while invoking David Lynch to describe Cage as “the jazz musician of actors,” in an episode that is as Nic Cage as they come.

As we have been known to do this season, the boys in Black and Gold made it tougher than it needed to be, conceding another set-piece goal. Ultimately, however, some timely subs and a solid second-half effort saw LAFC pull one out, 3-1, behind a late brace from Kike Olivera and the first LAFC tally for Kei Kamara. Abraham Romero played well in his first start for LAFC. Aside from their suddenly-congested MLS schedule, LAFC must now ready themselves for another USL-foe, Loudon United, as the Open Cup moves to BMO on May 21. Between now and then, we will have MLS matches against both Vancouver and St. Louis, so stay tuned for lots of Filly and Scarf here on Defenders!

Just like thorn in your side and it's coming because you are not being yourself. Lesley Logan 0:10 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:49 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life Brad and I are going to dig into the collected convo I had with Ryan Linder in our last episode, if you haven't listened to that one, you should go listen to it. You can look out for this one, but you should listen to at some point. You know, when this podcast the reason we want you to listen to the first to the end, you can bounce around as much as you want. Brad Crowell 1:10 Totally. Lesley Logan 1:10 We I think it's fun to hear what we have to say because it feels like you're part of the conversation and then you go listen that one. Brad Crowell 1:16 Yeah, I mean, if you're new here, pods, the weekly pods are basically connected. So the first one is an interview. And then the next one is a recap of it. Lesley Logan 1:26 And the FYF has nothing to do with any of them. So it's always exciting. You should do that. And also if you're new here. Hi, I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 1:32 And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 1:33 Well, I introduce you we don't introduce me so. Brad Crowell 1:37 Yeah, it's true. She's Lesley. Welcome.Lesley Logan 1:40 Today is November 9th 2023. And is actually Cambodia Independence Day. 1953 is when they actually got their independence from France because yes, France tried to take the France ruled over them for a while.Brad Crowell 1:52 Almost 100 years. It was like the 1860s that they were quote unquote, discovered by France.Lesley Logan 1:58 Yeah, yeah, that's, that's a lot of not so good things in there. But it's also why when you go to Cambodia, some people do speak French.Brad Crowell 2:06 Yeah, there's a lot of French influence for sure. Yes, no doubt about it.Lesley Logan 2:09 But it is their independence day. And it's a big holiday there. Often celebrated more in the capital city of Phnom Penh. But at any rate, I think it's really amazing that they have their own independence from another country. Brad Crowell 2:20 Yeah. And Cambodia has a soft spot in our hearts because we have a place there. We go there every single year, we actually sponsor a girl there to go to school, we take people there in our retreats, we get to explore all the things it's we've really fallen in love with the country of Cambodia. Lesley Logan 2:38 We live in a village.Brad Crowell 2:39 Just incredible. Lesley Logan 2:39 When you're part of that village, it's really fun to you know, be part of that. And it's I love taking people there, because it's really important that you see, we can all travel to Europe and other western countries all the time. I think it's really important to see how people live in other parts of the world that are different than your own. Yeah, it really it's not just about like, having grateful what you have, it's actually like, they're very present people. You know, like I and it's a it's a plate, it's like when I'm there, it's like you feel you turn off the whirlwind and like it's a it's an outdoor, so you can like lifestyle, like they spend a lot of time of their day outside very much a community. They take care of each other so much. And so we you know, we use you really start to realize like how much you can be part of your own community where you live when you see how communal some people can be. So anyways, Happy Independence Day to them. We just got back, I just got back from Chicago, Brad did not join me on this trip. That means I didn't get lost. I didn't lose an ID. I didn't do anything that I didn't miss a flight or any of those things. Like on what. And I'm actually heading into Arizona tomorrow to have a girls weekend with my family. And then I come back and I'm home for the rest of November with Brad. And we have Black Friday, Cyber Monday stuff going on which we will only offer during the week of the actual American Thanksgiving. So if you are wanting to know what those deals are, you have to get on the email list for that stuff.Brad Crowell 4:04 Yeah, so both for onlinepilatesclasses.com For OPC. And for ProfitablePilates, we're gonna be doing some special things. And I really I'm excited for our BFCM Black Friday, Cyber Monday sale coming up for Profitable Pilates, because it's all about a webinar that I'm going to do a public webinar that we'll do on December 3rd, okay, and it's gonna be all about what your Pilates website needs. So make sure you pay attention to that that's where you're gonna get those tickets and come hang out with me and we'll dig into websites and SEO and also images and all the things it's gonna be a lot of fun.Lesley Logan 4:41 When we first offered this topic, like you had very little options to build a website and everything costs money and now there's like so much amazing plug and play stuff. So it's really changed and it shouldn't you should not be afraid of it. It's not expensive anymore. So I think that's really cool. After he's done with that webinar. A few days later we hop in the van well first we kick off our tour in Las Vegas and then we play the Leaving Las Vegas song as we exit Alley fitness and head to St. George. Brad Crowell 5:08 How's it go? Leaving Las Vegas? Lesley Logan 5:10 No. I'm leaving Las Vegas. Anyways, guys so bright it's Saturday night anyways, Who sings it? It's like it's like not Alanis Morissette, but it's something like that. Leaving Las Vegas song, Sheryl Crow, Sheryl Crow. I love Sherly Crow. I went to the the Las Vegas airport. And I was like going up the escalator to go to Security. And the song was playing in the terminal like for south southwest. And I was like, did they play this like 24/7? Or is it just happening right now? Can you imagine if they played all day long, every time like someone into the airport, they play Leaving Las Vegas, it was just that moment, but it felt so apropos. Anyways. So we'll be playing that song. And then we'll go to St. George, and then we will hit the rest of our cities.Brad Crowell 6:01 7000 miles, we're going from Vegas to Boston to Miami. It's gonna be crazy.Lesley Logan 6:07 In between, like Denver somewhere in Ohio, like lots of awesome stuff, you're gonna want to go to opc.me/tour to find out all the stops. And I expect you to get in your car and join us somewhere near you. Because we want this to be the biggest tour we've ever done. And just so you know, at the time of recording this, we don't have the details we can't tell but I'm gonna tell you right now, you're gonna want to make sure you spot this van, you're gonna want to make sure you come to this tour, because there are reasons that you want to come besides meeting me. Yeah, I'm just saying.Brad Crowell 6:38 We got some exciting things cooking. So tune in.Lesley Logan 6:42 Yes. Before we go on to talk about Ryan, we have an amazing question from someone.Brad Crowell 6:48 Yes. So okay. This is a great question. And it's probably one that's, I guess, sometimes overlooked, because we obviously live in the world of Pilates. And so everything seems pretty obvious to us to where to find things. But somebody said, Hey, how do I become a Pilates instructor? And I was like, Oh, that's an awesome question.Lesley Logan 7:14 It's like a question that gets asked so much. It's every single week when I look at like, who goes to the website where they search, they search for this. And we have lots of tools on this. But I got this in an email because someone who's like I love Pilates, I think I should just be able to teach it. But I'm moving at the end of the year, and like, are there things they should consider? And I thought that that was such a great question. And I wanted to say, we do have some free stuff on the site on profitablepilates.com. We'll make sure the links are in the show notes that actually like a free course on like how to become applies instructor, we also have a whole series of courses, once you've like, are like in a programs you can set your business up correctly. But in between those two, I have a book where the first chapter actually talks about what questions to ask a teacher training program. While I'm a classical teacher, I do not force people to become classical teachers, the questions or things you should be asking any teacher trainer you are thinking of purchasing from because here is the deal. No two programs are built the same. You cannot compare this not apples to apples. It's like every type of produce and also the ones that you've ever heard of. So every person, every program you've seen out there is built by someone based on what they want for their studio, or what they were missing in their teacher training program. And so you first need to make sure that you like the teacher trainer that you have. The second thing, especially if you're moving is to make sure that what you're being trained in is a comprehensive program, and that you can teach in any kind of Pilates studio. So if it is something that's like, oh, it's like, if you hear like, sorry, unique blend of exercises based on the equipment that we built, those are signs that it's not gonna be great for you, maybe not for other people, it might be great for other people. But if you are wanting to have a certification, where you can joke anywhere, you're looking for a conference, like him comprehensively trained program on all the equipment, so that wherever you end up in this world, you can actually teach in a full studio. Now some countries have different rules around like actually being certified at the end of the day. For the most part, it's an unregulated job, which is why there are so many different types of trainings out there. So you want to definitely check out my book, it probably will take you six to nine months, six to nine months is what you're looking at to be sure, yep. And if it's anything that takes you more than a year unless it's on your end, like that's your choice. That's a little interesting. Most of the time it's most of the training weekends can happen within six or nine months and then you take the amount of time you need. So anyways, get the book, get the course check it out, and then let me know end up doing we can celebrate your process. If you have questions on anything you want us to answer. You can send that into the Be It pot and we'll answer on the next episode.Brad Crowell 9:44 Okay, now let's talk about Ryan Lindner. Drawing on a wealth of experience overcoming personal hardships. Ryan Lindner collaborates with clients and top organizations around the world to address turnover issues and instill a sense of humanity and understanding within workspace leadership. I thought was interesting that he said, When you get hired for a role, they often they treat you as if you are the role, like, all right, you are going to run the shipping department. So we'll talk to shipping and receiving. All right, yeah, call shipping and receiving not call Bob, but no call shipping and receiving. And, you know, like humanizing the team again. It's interesting, it just changes that scope. But also, it was really interesting to listen to him talk about, you know, his, like, all the things and what he's been able to do and his personal struggle with with, you know, imposter syndrome.Lesley Logan 10:42 Yeah. We've had an impostor syndrome before on this podcast, probably several different episodes. John Laura was the top one really great one. Really great one. And so one of the things I love that we talked about, as he discussed the tendency of people with anxiety to seek approval, and please others, and the thing about people pleasing is that's just a form of control. And you actually can't control how those people are. And so he explained that having boundaries means you have to say no more, which means you may have to end some toxic relationships or leave some jobs. And he emphasized the importance of self love and owning one's worth, and detaching them from external approval. Oh, my God. Well, if you can figure that out, y'all in a in an episode, you just you should be teaching a college course, it is hard. Okay. Especially if you were raised to be that way, if that was like a learned behavior that you have, but I actually I liked that he talked about boundaries means you have to say no, do you know that it is actually kind to have boundaries? It is actually very kind of boundaries. And we'll talk about this in episode coming up with Kelli Adame. For my female, females wanting to live and in more feminine energy, it's actually very feminine to have boundaries and say how you will and will not receive other people. And so boundaries doesn't mean saying no to every like, it's I actually want to rephrase it. When you have boundaries, you're saying yes to the things you actually want in your life. If you don't have boundaries, you are actually saying no to something else.Brad Crowell 12:13 While you're probably saying yes to everything, you're saying yes to everything, inadvertently, you're saying no to something.Lesley Logan 12:18 Especially yourself. And so he said, he stressed so much. He's like, you have to love you. And you have to do that again. And you have to own who that person is. And I think, I think is the hardest part. I think a lot of people don't know how to love themselves. Because how many people listening raise your hand. Only one if you're driving, if your family taught you how to love you. Did your parents show them like you like self love? Because that's how you learn it, right? Like it's a learned behavior. So if you only see your parents who are constantly trying to change how they look, if they're like, like, my, my, all the women in my life were like always on a different diet every single week, and then cheating and going here and have these chips with you. So like, I didn't see self-love. Constantly, consistently unmodeled and why would they the people before them. That's a fucking luxury. Can you imagine the people in the depression and the wars going? I love myself so much like, it's a fucking luxury, right? So we have generations of people not modeling self-love. Brad Crowell 13:19 And so really interesting. I never really thought about that my parents were when I was a kid. Every week, they would drag me out to the stupid soccer game that they played in and we had to sit on the sidelines. And I hated it.Lesley Logan 13:33 That's so cool. And I was like, Yeah, but that's so cool because they go watch your fucking soccer game.Brad Crowell 13:39 On the weekends, we would go sailing and every we hated sailing. Oh my god, my dad was like trying to flip the boat. He was having so much fun. He's like, the best thing ever. And we're like, terrified, and my mom let us take a thousand swim classes.Lesley Logan 13:53 I think that's why you're the unique human that you are, because your parents showed you like how to find, like, fix things for yourself.Brad Crowell 14:00 Yeah, that's what I'm coming to. I don't think I really realized that they were, maybe they were doing it because they wanted to do it. But they were actually also modeling. (inaudible)Lesley Logan 14:08 This is hilarious. Do you know what everyone says about you? They're like, Brad is so happy. Brad is like the kindest person. I know. He's is a very interesting bird as any like they're just like, he's just like, he's just got like, he's just, you know, a good person who loves everybody and like, you're not very good at taking like prioritizing yourself. We're still working on that, last episode. But like, you I don't see people pleasing you at all, like, at all and so much. You have zero problems telling people no, I'm like, Oh my God. We like told them yes. And he's like, it's okay. We just change our planets. I'm like, we can't change our plans. We we have to go we said we'd be there. So like it explained like you were modeled like to, it's okay to do the things you want to do. Brad Crowell 14:55 And my parents liked to play volleyball. My dad played in the band at the church.Lesley Logan 14:59 They don't listen to this show, they can't hear how amazing they did a good job raising you.Brad Crowell 15:05 My mom took sign language classes. Lesley Logan 15:07 Oh, that's cool. Brad Crowell 15:08 You know, like, like they definitely, you know, pursued individual things. And then did those things. Lesley Logan 15:15 Yeah. So this episode wasn't for you at all. At any rate, it's for the people who this is for, if you struggle with these things,Brad Crowell 15:22 Oh, are you kidding? No. There's still plenty for me to learn from Ryan. Lesley Logan 15:25 Yes. But I'm just saying, if you struggle with these things, and it wasn't modeled for you, it's I'm not giving you a Get Out of Jail Free card. But I'm saying like, it's no wonder it's a difficult decision, and you are going to have some toxic relationships that have to end. And heBrad Crowell 15:39 Well, those I mean, those talk. Well, you know, what you guys were talking about was that those toxic relationships will inadvertently end.Lesley Logan 15:46 Yes, and also, the very last thing one time about this, like he stressed the importance of defining relationships from the start. And I, this was very interesting. When I went to college, there was this thing called DTR. And I had no idea what that meant. And down to no determine the relationship. Oh, DTR. Yes. DTR. It's a conversation. Well, I went to a Christian college y'all so shocking. I know. But I did. I fucking did. I fucking did. I fucking did. And I thought I said, fuck all the time. Anyways, it was just like thing that people would do. They're like, oh, we went on a date. And we DTR and like, after a date, like after a date. But I do. I'm not saying that. Like, you should be doing that every time your date. But I do think it's important to be very clear about who people are in your lives in the relationship that it is and whether that's a conversation to have with them. Or if it is one that you just have to have with yourself to understand like, okay, Julie from the office who drives me fucking crazy. The relationship with Julie is at the office only. And if you're taking Julie shit home with you, you are muddling the relationship. Or if you're letting Julie when I also hang with you in the weekend, you don't have to that you can say, Hey, Julie, I love I love our time at the office together. But I don't have time for us to have relationship outside of the office together. And like, Yeah, that might piss Julie off. And you know what, hopefully have a good HR and like, they probably already know how crazy Julie is. And so sorry for any Julie's out there. Well, I mean, the poor Karen's have already been. So let's just find your name. Anyway, I think like, definitely take some time to define relationships from the start is going to help you take yourself off of the pressure of showing up in a way that's unaligned with the relationship's definition. Did you DTR in college, because I never DTR I was like, I'm gonna get through four years of college, without that DTR. Because it just felt weird. It felt like everyone want to get married right away because they just wanna have sex. And it's like, well just go have sex. Anyways, welcome to my college experience.Brad Crowell 17:44 Well, saying no, wasn't something I was always, you know, good at.Lesley Logan 17:48 You say no, all the time.Brad Crowell 17:50 I do now. But when I was in college, I didn't. Oh, you said yes to everything. Well, it wasn't that I said yes to everything. But I wanted to fit it into, you know, even though I was still like,Lesley Logan 17:58 You, you wore rings and all your fingers. You had your hair colored the wrong color. Brad Crowell 18:03 Yeah. I know. I definitely pushed all the boundaries, but it didn't mean I didn't want to fit in. Okay, right. So, you know, I don't know what I don't know. I thought the DTR thing was kind of silly. But I did try to date a girl on my campus. And I asked her dad, if I could date her. And he said no. And I was like, oh, fuck, now what? She lived in Canada. And I was like, that's fair. Brad Crowell 18:16 But did her dad live in Canada? I mean, I'm surprised because that would be really great than she could stay if she married you.Brad Crowell 18:40 Yeah. But no, I wasn't really trying to date so much. I just thought it was all a little.Lesley Logan 18:49 I don't even think Ryan was even talking about dating. But that's what my brain went to. I was just talking about, like relationships in general, like the people in your lives. And so I do think determination is really important.Brad Crowell 19:00 Yeah, I think so too. Especially like, you know, defining the relationship can help with boundary setting. And we were talking about boundaries. Because, you know, if you'reLesley Logan 19:13 Well, if the relationship is a work relationship,Brad Crowell 19:16 Then the boundary is the end of the day.Lesley Logan 19:18 Yeah, you're your boss, the boundary's end of the day,Brad Crowell 19:21 And I think we were talking about this before on a previous episode here, that the, the way that work from home has shifted. It's been so empowering and freeing and amazing, but it was also completely changed our boundaries. And if we're not careful, you know, we're taking home, you know, all this work, meaning we never actually set an end-of-the-day boundary for us. And I think that it's also been mission creep with text messages from work coworkers and working on emails late at night and all this kind of stuff. Lesley Logan 19:21 And you know, I think it's France or when other countries of Europe it's illegal. And also they are not. There is zero expectation of you responding to anything outside of office hours, whatever.Brad Crowell 20:09 Yeah.Lesley Logan 20:09 it's actually weird if you do that they're like, what's wrong with you?Brad Crowell 20:12 Yeah. You know, and, and I don't I don't know that I agree. I think that's a bit extreme. But I, I, I do think that it's healthy to say like, unless the fucking house is burning down, don't contact me outside of those hours. And you're and like, that's with because you've defined the relationship as this is a work relationship, that it can help you reinforce your boundaries. You know, so, yeah, anyway.Lesley Logan 20:34 Define your relationships. Okay, what did you like? Brad Crowell 20:35 Okay, so, I, well, you guys got into introvert extrovert, how you and also defining that how you recharged. You know, some people recharge being alone and others, you know, go together, you know, when it's when people together. And he started talking about how, you know, he's also, you know, very introverted, but he does all these speaking engagements, right? And so he talks all these people at a time and how it stresses him out still, you know, even now, after having done it for so, so much time. And then he kind of, you know, he kind of hidden him, he specifically said, I had a conversation recently with, like, a general or somebody huge in the military, because he got a chance to work with people in the military, right. And that kind of led you down this interesting thing about titles, right? And how titles made will make still make him uncomfortable can make you uncomfortable. If you know somebody's title, you started talking about Doctor and how like you were teaching a doctor Pilates and how you're like, Oh, why are they even taking Pilates from me? Because they are a doctor. And they know everything you know about I don't remember what kind of doctor they were. But you know, your orthopedic surgeon. That's what was and you came to this conclusion that, yeah, okay. They may understand the body, but they don't know how to move their own body. You know. And anyway, the point of it, the point of his thing was that like, when he started to, to focus on their title, the people that he was discussing things with and talking to a coaching, basically, it was intimidating to him. But if he could, like, put the title aside and just talk to like a human, then all of a sudden, it would change the dynamic. And, you know, I mean, I, what it immediately made me think of was, what if you were walking down the street and you bump into a President of the United States, and you don't know that they're the president or were a president, and you just strike up a conversation with them, and you talk them like a human. And it's probably going to be just a simple, easy exchange, conversation, whatever. Nothing weird about that. But if you were walking down the street, and they have the Presidential motorcade with 57 Secret Service agents, and like dudes carrying guns near them, you're gonna be like, Whoa, I have no, no way. I could never even speak to that person I would never try. you know. And so just knowing the person's title alone, it's such a crazy thing, how we how that shifts their own dynamic. Brad Crowell 20:36 Yeah, it's true. I mean, like, even when I was teaching Pilates, like when the celebrities would need a session where I was, and I would have to teach them like, there's this moment of like, okay, so like, it's a little awkward, because like, you're like, I feel like I know a lot about you, you know nothing about me. But also you're it doesn't matter. You're just want me to teach you and I'm here to teach you, but I'm a little nervous. And like, it takes a few moments here those butterflies out for sure. Like, yeah.Brad Crowell 22:55 For 15 years ago, when I was I had just moved to LA and I was in Trader Joe's with my roommate at the time. And there's this girl walking down the aisle, and I just started talking to her. And like you knew her? No, I don't know what you're talking about. Whatever the fuck, I was just talking. I was just being friendly Brad. Right. (inaudible) And we're talking and like, we had this, like, we saw each other in a couple of rows. And it was kind of cute. And we got to the line. Lesley Logan 23:48 And it's like, every single person in LA like you try to meet someone at Trader Joe's.Brad Crowell 23:54 And we're talking and we're chit chatting in the line. And we're waiting and you know, and then my roommate turns around, and he goes, Oh my god, are you so and so and she's a fucking famous actress. And it just killed the entire conversation. And it was so bad. I was like, bro, bro, you fucked that up and what the hell? Lesley Logan 24:11 Who was it, do you remember? Brad Crowell 24:12 I have literally no idea. But you know, but it was like it totally changed the dynamic. And I was like, weren't well.Lesley Logan 24:23 Yeah, yeah. So it's really funny. We put people on pedestals. They put it like it's a whole thing. It's yeah. And that creates weird impostor syndrome, which doesn't have to exist because they're just people who also need whatever you have to offer. So there you go. Brad Crowell 24:36 Yeah. Well, the other thing I thought was really hilarious was he takes inspiration from Patrick Stewart, super famous stage actor and obviously, like Star Trek Stewart.Lesley Logan 24:46 Oh, okay. I just out of myself. I've clearly not watched Star Trek. Brad Crowell 24:49 No, come on. He's like in that he's so famous. Like know that Spock. But yes, I appreciate that.Lesley Logan 24:56 But don't everyone on Star Trek, do it. Brad Crowell 24:58 No, only Spock.Lesley Logan 24:59 Only Spock does this?Brad Crowell 25:00 Well Spock and his people. For those of you listening, family, it's the fingers. Well, just you know you have to do this and realize but your straps on your feet if you're a classical teacher, yeah.Brad Crowell 25:11 If you're not watching on YouTube, she's doing the split V thing.Lesley Logan 25:15 Yeah, but I have to cheat. I have to pull my fingers down. Oh my god, you could do it on both hands.Brad Crowell 25:20 Yeah. Come on, come on, you can do it. What is that hard? It's easy. So yeah, anyway, Patrick Stewart said that even today after being like, like, literally, I think he's Sir Patrick Stewart. And oh, he's knighted. Oh, yeah. Come on. You fucking know who he is. Look at it look. Yes. Look up his picture. You know. Anyway, he, he has been on stage thousands of hours on stage right and in front of cameras. And that's not Spock. Know. Okay. Now, I'll get Patrick Stewart. Anyway, he said he still actually gets stage fright. After career, decades of doing it, he still gets stage fright. And he said, and he has this little mantra that he says to himself, he says, You know what, I don't give enough. He probably says I don't give a fuck. Right? And he says, what happens? What what I thought was really interesting was like, how is that beneficial? Because it kind of seems like flippin and silly and ridiculous, you know, but what I thought was cool was that Ryan said that you're actually you're, you're kind of freeing yourself in that moment. You're detaching from the outcome in the moment and you're reducing the stakes. That's a pretty cool analysis of I don't give a fuck.Brad Crowell 25:21 Yeah, mine is gonna say I did look up who Spock is, I don't know the difference of the two and Sir Patrick Stewart's hotter if it's if it's any, but he's concerned.Brad Crowell 26:47 We were all wondering, you know, if that's what you were sayingLesley Logan 26:51 To people, I would want to be with Sir Patrick Stewart. Yeah, I can't do the eyebrows on Spock. Um, anyway.Brad Crowell 27:01 Okay. All right. Well, stick around. We'll be right back. All right. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action items what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Ryan Lindner? Own who you are, there's nothing you have to become or do or you don't have to arrive at anything. You just have to allow it. You are you. Lesley Logan 27:26 You are already you were born amazing. Already happened. I love it.Brad Crowell 27:32 Yeah, so I think well, I think it's also I think it's just hard you know, we feel like we need to be more do more or you know, like with the qualify or again we were talking about this a couple of weeks ago about our performance-based society about how like you know the achievements that we are are how we define ourselves right and I think that of course it feels good to like hit a mark that we set for ourselves but again, we should celebrate that and too if we just jump from mark to mark to mark we're not actually enjoying the in-betweens ever, right ,and I think that we can apply that same thing about you know, who are you who like who are we how how do we see ourselves. I think thatLesley Logan 28:15 Made me think of Allison, who are you and he does it and then he does a little smoke, who are you? The ultimate question My goodness Yeah, it's IBrad Crowell 28:32 There's nothing more that you have to become to be you. You're already you. Lesley Logan 28:37 You're it. You made it. Brad Crowell 28:38 You made it. Congrats you are.Lesley Logan 28:39 You actually technically beened it till you sawed it but you've been I'm just trying to like you have arrived at that new you were born that way but now you maybe you said to be it till you see it but like you've you're born that way and so maybe it's the journey is just you finding yourself back to who you already were.Lesley Logan 28:40 We've beened it till we sawed it.Lesley Logan 28:47 You know what? Past tense on the past tense even like my double negatives I guess you don't like my double past? Brad Crowell 29:07 I don't even know what to say. That's amazing. What about you? What is yourLesley Logan 29:11 Wow he said then this is the hard that he has that seems hard to just be who you are. So he actually said he would practice it and I really here's the thing he says like practice in front of people, practice speaking and put yourself on camera and record it like this will help you accomplish, your competence comes about, you guys, competence says that you don't wait for competence to bestow itself upon you competence comes from doing the fucking thing over and over again until you feel like you can do it like have you ever seen someone like they're able to like like stir something that they're cooking and also like tax on the phone with that looking at German or on old phones now I'm dating myself but all the people in this are RH t nine t nine where you could like I can text without looking at your Yeah, not here your phone and you could like oh texts,Brad Crowell 29:57 I would text I would not only that my screen was is broken. So I had to memorize the I literally memorize the keypad?Lesley Logan 30:07 Because Could you could you read people's text to you? No, no. So but you would text them? I would text them. I can't read you say so just calling.Brad Crowell 30:16 And then I would also I had to force me to memorize people's phone numbers again.Lesley Logan 30:20 Yes. So So but the reality is all those things come from practice and competence comes from just doing the thing. Like that's just what it is. It's actually also from just like showing up and doing the thing you said you would do that's also putting coins in the competence bucket. And so if you are struggling with like, just being yourself and being until you see it, you can't just sit around and wait for it to like, like, you know, night itself upon you. You have to actually do the thing and practice it. So practice in front of mirror, practice it while you practice doing it while you make a bed practice while you do the dishes. Practice that while you're listening to Gaia, try for the 17th time in this recording session to find a bed that's comfortable for her. None of them are we've tried seven, none of them are comfortable. So but we're gonna keep practicing until we find a bed for Gaia. We're just gonna keep going. But that is how you do it. So I really enjoyed this. I think it's important for us to revisit impostor syndrome because it just keeps showing itself up as ugly. Just like the thorn in your side. And it's coming because you are not being yourself.Brad Crowell 31:22 Yeah. And so let us know how you've been until you've sought it.Lesley Logan 31:25 Thank you for bringing it back full circle.

Cinematographer Declan Quinn (HAMILTON, LEAVING LAS VEGAS, MONSOON WEDDING) speaks with Team Deakins on this episode of the podcast. A first generation immigrant from Ireland, Declan first reflects on his youth bouncing between America and his family's home country. We then ruminate on Declan's decision to spend part of his early career in Ireland and on the function of pubs as watering holes wherein a young filmmaker could, back when Roger and Declan were starting out at least, find a community with which to celebrate and commiserate over work and life. Later, Declan shares his experiences working with directors Mike Figgis and Neil Jordan and on the myriad of other films he helped bring to life. Towards the end, Declan describes the process of Broadway captures and how he filmed HAMILTON at the height of its popularity with its original cast. - This episode is sponsored by Fiilex Instagram: @fiilexled

Lesley Logan 0:09 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:50 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life are going to dig into the discerning convo I had with Alice Inoue, in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, go back listen to it. Holy moly, is she the happiest person on the planet. She is so frickin nice like, and not like a happy person, like annoying when it was like (inaudible). But like just like chill.Brad Crowell 1:11 She's just very cheerful.Lesley Logan 1:12 She's cheerful. That's a great word for it. Alright, before we get into everything let's talk about today. Today is November 2nd 2023. It is the National Day of the Dead. It's actually probably international actually, since it's a holiday from Mexico. Mexican holiday. Yeah, but also when you when you look it up babe, there's also like, it's a it's a thing that other people do. Like, if you there's another day that it's a hold on, I looked into it.Brad Crowell 1:40 So it's traditionally celebrated on November one and two, although Lesley Logan 1:44 It's also All Souls Day. Brad Crowell 1:45 It could have been from October 31 all the way to November 6.Lesley Logan 1:50 Yeah, yeah. And also it's like All Souls Day if you're looking at like Christianity, It's All Souls Day in Brazil. So anyways, National Day of the Dead to me, like sums up and you could honor your loved ones or someone else's loved ones by going to a cemetery and, you know, spending some time with them. It's my favorite thing to do when I was a kid in high school, or I would just go and like trim the grass around people's tombstones.Brad Crowell 2:12 I'm so I'm so sorry. Hold on. That was the favorite. That was your favorite thing to do.Lesley Logan 2:17 It's a really nice way to like meditate and like be alone. You know, I mean, didn't have cell phones back then. But I would just Okay, so here's the thing when you go to cemeteries at least where I grew up, they they mow the lawn? Yeah, but they don't trim. They don't go around and hedge. We call it edging. Brad Crowell 2:35 Yeah. Trimming, edging, it's notLesley Logan 2:38 They don't do any of that around the actual tombstone. So over time, the grass will just grow over the tomb. Like a, what is it like a plaque, it'll just like go grow over it. And so then it just, it bothers me because then like, there's mowing over and like you forget who these people are. And they were all souls and like, I don't know how I feel about them being buried in the ground and we having like, take up all the space but at the same time that we did so and we're not going to take them up. So I just think it's important that their plaques are like there to like, mark that these people lived on this planet and they were part of it. So anyways, I would trim the grass, but take some scissors out from the grass. And I just think it's like a park. Whatever we met in a cemetery. We made out on one my God. You can think it's strange all you want. But you've participated in like cemetery life. SoBrad Crowell 3:22 Well. It's November. And this month. We do have a little bit of travel. We means Lesley and Erika.Lesley Logan 3:31 Yeah, so first of all, like right now we're in Nashville.Brad Crowell 3:35 Yes, as this is released. We are. Surprise. Lesley Logan 3:38 Tomorrow I fly to Chicago. And then I'm in Chicago for a couple days teaching with Erika Quest. If there's any spots left and you were listening to me in real time, you better hit me up quick. We'll make sure you get that taken care of. And then I come back. Then I head off to Arizona for a little weekend time with my my mom and my sister. And then it's the holidays Thanksgiving in the States. And that means Black Friday, Cyber Monday deals. So you want to make sure that you're just paying attention while our emails.Brad Crowell 4:03 Oh, yeah, we've got a lot of those going on y'all. So one of those Profitable Pilates or OPC. We got stuff happening.Lesley Logan 4:09 We're not starting the sale on November 4th. This is like we're doing it the week of the holiday. Yeah, we're not those people.Brad Crowell 4:16 We're not the two weeks before Black Friday, Cyber Monday. We are Black Friday Cyber Monday.Lesley Logan 4:21 But if you're on our email list, you will hear what those deals are ahead of time so you can plan when you're going to do your shopping around spending time with your family because that is important. Then, after that I actually we actually we both go on our tour.Brad Crowell 4:35 Yeah, in the first after the first week of December, we're hitting the road. We're gonna be on the tour. The winter tour. This is going to be east coast. Y'all. Here's the deal. We are driving from Vegas, to Boston to Miami, back to Vegas, and it's going to take us 27 days we're going to do (Lesley: I've never been to Boston.) 7000 miles. We're going to do 14 cities. 28 or 30 classes or events, I don't even know it's all coming together right now we're gonna have our dogs with us. Lesley Logan 5:06 We're gonna kick it off in Las Vegas. Brad Crowell 5:09 Yeah, that's right. Everybody demand that on the last tour.Lesley Logan 5:12 I know, I was kind of shocked. I was like, Okay, I will do it. Not that I want to see you guys, but I just didn't think like, you want a tour slot, but you do. So we're doing that and you're gonna be the kickoff, and then we're gonna play the song Leaving Las Vegas, because come on, that was my request as the talent and then it's also the first city we did the first tour. So 2019 is our first tour and we kicked it off in Las Vegas, and we're doing the exact same studio we did before. So thanks, Ali Fitness for being our host. Anyways, go to opc.me/tour to see which cities we're gonna be in. You guys are not you're gonna want to make sure you're spotting the van.

You know those ones that you're like, oh my gosh, spend time with that time ever bringing them because guess what all entertain them for you for an hour? Yeah. It's gonna be awesome. All right, Brad. Before we get into Alice's amazing interview, we're doing audience question.Brad Crowell 6:29 We do. We've had obviously we've been in Vegas now for a couple years. And when you're in Vegas things it's pretty funny because people come here all the time. I don't think I realized how often I would have friends in town when we were moving here. Lesley Logan 6:46 We see our L.A. friends as much as we saw them in LA because they come here. Brad Crowell 6:50 Yeah, pretty pretty frequently. So one question that we have been asked a couple of times is like what should we do when we get to Vegas? What's your favorite thing to do when in Vegas? So if you're a tourist and you're here for a few days and you're not quite sure what to do, here are our two favorite things one each. Go ahead. Lesley Logan 7:08 Oh, are you gonna make one each? Okay, okay. I'm a list here we go. Mob Museum. Absolutely must do, you must do the Mob Museum and in preparation listen to Mobbed-up Season One your fucking wild Lesley loves this stuff. Everything. Las Vegas Review, General High High all the season four if you want I'll recap all the seasons if you want. So it's a must-do and then also the Arts District is going to be like I'm just gonna blanket statement the artist artists are because there's great shops, all local owned, great bars, great restaurants. You cannot make a wrong decision in the Arts District. Yep. And so, really worth doing. You can get facials, you can go shopping. I'm not going to name all I don't want to leave into my friend's out. So just the arts district. The other way of looking at Arts is it's called 18 Ben, you can look those two things up. You can look up DTLV on Instagram. There's so many things you can find a list of this but you're talking local owners of Las Vegas and if you have ever want to do that, and then not in the artist but in downtown great place to support local shops small is Ferguson's downtown. It's just really awesome. So yeah, I will stop there and let Brad share his favorite things but I know it's kind of crazy. I know people come in for the shows or to see a dowel or whatever. I'm telling you what else do you do in the middle of the day besides sit at a pool? Go to Mob Museum. Okay, go.Brad Crowell 8:31 So I really love the Neon Museum. For if you like history, aside from the Bob Museum, the Neon Museum is actually really close to the there it is all of the old signs that were on the strip for all the old casinos all those neon lights that you see. Vegas is famous for they're actually Lesley Logan 8:35 You can get married there. Brad Crowell 8:50 Yeah, you can and also they have tours guided tours. We recommend doing aLesley Logan 8:54 Do the guided tour at the dusk. I think the the when you're looking for tickets, sorry Gaia is trying to navigate her new bed underneath a dry erase board so you're hearingBrad Crowell 9:03 So I love I love the I love the Neon Museum. (Lesley: Take it at dusk that's what you're looking for.) Yeah, you want the guided tour at dusk so you can catch it when the sun is setting and the lights are coming on. It's really cool. Okay, I also love food. So I am a big fan of the Chinatown Spring Mountain Road. There are a gazillion restaurants out there. There's Korean barbecue, there's Chinese food, there's Japanese sushi. There's all sorts of stuff over there. (Lesley: Bourbon's and Rye. Good luck my motivation.) Oh, yeah. Really great Steakhouse. Lesley Logan 9:08 They run the bar well, so you can actually get a seat at the bar to eat some food. Brad Crowell 9:42 If you like cheesesteaks. I'm a huge fan of Pops cheesesteaks. And so obviously I'm talking about food right now. But I've been hiking near Red Rock. There's a lot of free hiking out there. It's within 15 minutes, 20 minutes drive from The Strip Um, I'm a huge cactus nerd so go to FLM's cactus garden. Go out to (Lesley: That's free actually.) Blue Diamond and go to Cactus Joe's it's a 10-acre cactus farm out there. What else do I like to do? Honestly uh Lesley and I really love posting up at a bar and drinking while we just (Lesley: We work out at Trailer Hideouts shout out to our friends.) Yeah. Lesley Logan 9:47 And then also for the gym, we work out at the Plaza Hotel and Casino. Yeah, you heard that right. We do. It's a phenomenal jam. So if you're looking for a hotel with a great gym, I would highly recommend that if you want to stay on The Strip, then Aria's gym is actually really great. Brad Crowell 10:30 There are tons of live music in Vegas as well. And it happens all the time. Yeah, soLesley Logan 10:35 You can't go wrong here. And I just want to say as someone who's just shit on this place, I'm forever an eating crowd because I fucking love the city. And there's so much to do. And you can you can, you can, you know, just have some fun, but truly check out what the local owners are doing.Brad Crowell 11:02 Yeah. Also PS none of what we just mentioned was actually The Strip.Lesley Logan 11:03 No, I mean, I mentioned ARIA I said is a hotel on The Strip for the gym.Brad Crowell 11:11 I guess it's true. But like things to do, like there's so much off The Strip that you can do in Vegas. Yes. And so yeah, it's four.Lesley Logan 11:20 I love that question. Thanks for letting us like think about what we want to do before the end of the year because we will go to FLM's at Christmas because they actually decorate the the cactus and do Christmas lights. It's fucking amazing. Brad Crowell 11:30 Yeah, it's a good time. Lesley Logan 11:31 Okay, you can send your questions in to the Be It pod. We love to answer them. So whatever you want, obviously, we'll answer anything. So just send it in.Brad Crowell 11:39 Okay, now let's talk about Alice Inoue. Alice is a passionate founder of Happiness U where she employs a holistic approach to help individuals find clarity and answers in their lives. She has transformed countless lives by guiding people towards their path to happiness. And Happiness U is the letter U, it's like short for university. Yeah, soLesley Logan 12:04 Yeah, I just love that she. I mean, of course, I'd love this. Giving yourself permission for downtime allows you to be more productive and bring your whole self to the table. Oh, my God, who would have thought? What? If you actually take a break? You could actually be a better person later on?Brad Crowell 12:21 Well, I guess I mean, yeah, 100%. But I think what you were specifically talking about was people take a break, but then they're constantly still thinking about their work, while they're taking a break, and they didn't really give themselves permission to take a break. They feel guilty taking a break. Hi, that's me. So you know, I really struggle taking breaks or taking downtime, I feel like I should be working the whole time. And so what you know, this, this is really interesting to me, because it's effectively, like I need to make a, just like, you may have mentioned heard me mentioned this before, but for me, in order for me to sleep, I have to make the decision to go to sleep. If I do not decide to go to sleep, I will not sleep, I will just stay awake, I will actually have a restless night's sleep if I finally do fall asleep. But it's the same thing with taking a break. And I think this is going to be something I'm going to try working in where I'm like, I'm taking a break and I'm giving myself permission to take that break. You know.Lesley Logan 13:14 I do this how I did this yesterday. I was like, I am taking a break right now. Because I am not I clearly I knew this break this break is long overdue. And I'm taking it and I'm not gonna feel bad about it. And I literally went and indulge myself an overpriced latte and sat on their bench. I just sat there just sat there just sat and sip my coffee and was like, this is right, this is lovely. This is my life I live. But also just like personal time to be scheduled in like an appointment. That's what she said. And if you know, my, the way I do my schedule, which is like with rocks, glitter, gemstones, like type of scheduling, I am very like one of the rock the rocks that goes in first is your personal time. That would be when you sleep when you wake when you work out like that stuff is really important to me, that stuff I never fail on but sometimes, you know, we've just been trying to get ahead lately, because of our big trips. And I like kind of just did twice as much stuff in the same amount of time that I do half of it. And so you know, I like oh, I actually need twice as much downtime then. So I need to do that in the future.Brad Crowell 14:19 Yeah, I mean, you know, when you obviously we like time marches on, right? We only have so much time. Yeah. And I think that you know, living she she was talking a lot about like worry and looking forward and looking back and there's a there's mindfulness, you know, being in the moment being present. It's weird to say that doesn't really I don't even know what that means half the time but like it's Lesley Logan 14:48 I think it's hard if you're like especially like if you're ADHD that's can be really hard or if like there's a lot going on if you're stressed like, it's part of me sometimes gets a little annoyed because some of this stuff. It's like yeah, duh. I've also like worried about my bills, and I'm worried about these things. But I think it's important that like, maybe you take 15 minutes and you and you consciously make the decision to not worry or not focus on the shoulds and actually talked about focusing on the currently I'm lost in the shoulds and so we've had this story dating on and he has this whole thing about should he like, if you just like if you're doing this, because you should you should this because you should you just become a should-head. And that it's like such a dad joke, but it makes me laugh. Like, yeah, so I, she said owning your life, owning your time you create your moments. And I think like, I think sometimes we do a lot of stuff, because we should do it. And we're not actually owning our time to own our life. And it that might mean boundaries, or that might be disappointing people. But it's really important that you take stock and like, you don't have to go 100% the other direction from what you're doing today. You can just do okay, this 15 minutes, I'm just going to focus right now on what I'm doing in this moment.Brad Crowell 15:55 All right, well, one thing I loved was her stand on happiness. She said, we create our own happiness based on our perspective, and how we look at situations. And that life is always bringing you exactly what you need. Not really what you want.Lesley Logan 16:14 Is that the song like, we get what you need, like, like, okay, keep talking, I'm gonna figure out what the song is called hold on. It's like, don't, you don't always get what you want, no you don't always get what you're right, get what you need.Brad Crowell 16:34 Get what you need. Oh, it's so true. That Okay, so I'm just gonna read it again, we create our own happiness. First off, that's interesting. We create our own happiness. Based on our perspective. We create our own happiness based on our perspective. Yeah. Lesley Logan 16:53 So you can just change your perspective. Brad Crowell 16:55 Yeah, where was I. A whole conversation about that, and how we look at situations. So the perspective, the perspective on how we look at different things, and that life is bringing us exactly what you need, not what you really want. Right. So, you know, I mean, the genie in the bottle thing, though, the three wishes, Aladdin, all the things. The three wishes were, you know, what they thought they wanted, but it's not really what they wanted, you know, what they needed, you know. So basically, this also comes back to, like, you know, life doing things to you or for you. Right. And that's the thing happened. Whatever the thing is, but it's your perspective of whether it happened to you or it happened for you. That is what changes the way you embrace the thing, because the thing is happening no matter what.Lesley Logan 17:51 Yeah, I think like, oh, my gosh, I just think, just think about some of our Agency members and some of the challenges that they're like, still going through and, like, remembering like, one of those challenges we went through this like, would not fucking stop and we're like, What the fuck is going to be over? Like, when am I going to be done with this learning lesson? And the reality is, is that like, it everything we learned from that we will be able to use in our life and how we make decisions in our business. It's not happening to us it's happening for us and even if it's for me to sit there and go, I understand how sucky the situation. Brad Crowell 18:25 What are we what are you talking about? Lesley Logan 18:26 Oh, well, we it took us three years to prove we can own a house that we could we literally are in, right, three years of literally any obstacle. We're like, Okay, we found a doorway through. And I like actually, that was a wall too. Yeah, sorry. And then like, this was just this three years of it. And it was so exhausting. But going through that, and all the things it allowed us to really learn how we set up businesses how to do these other things that for future investments you want to do? Yeah, we are not guessing we are very much we're not going to be we've hit all the walls, we know where they all are now. So we're good. But I think at the when you're going through it, it's easy to go Why am I still on this challenge? Like why is this happening to me? And,Brad Crowell 19:11 And we also had a hard deadline, it was super stressful, because, you know, like, there came a point where it was like one of these obstacles would potentially have put us past our contract deadline. And yeah, we had to figure out a way through before the contract was up or we would have lost the house.Lesley Logan 19:30 It was like added pressure. Yeah, and it was so I'm not gonna sit here and say that we didn't go it just happened we never said why is it happening to us? Of course, we felt that like there's of course there's a moment like what the, but then it's like, okay, hold on. What there's a lesson to learn here. The universe is not going to be homeless. I've been there three times. So this is all going to work out I'm supposed to get some information. But it's important I think it's okay to feel your feelings you all but you have to then go okay, what what can I glean from this? What should I do? Like, where can I go? You don't have to sit in it.Brad Crowell 20:04 Yeah, well, here's why. And this is really interesting. I mean, this was new information for me. In 2008. There, there were studies that were done that indicated that happiness is a learnable skill. Happiness is a learnable skill. So again, she said, we create our own happiness based on our perspective, right? So, in 2008, there the studies were saying that happiness is a learnable skill, that to me, is really interesting. She has this information available on her website happiness, you, I think it's Happiness, the letter U will put it in the show notes. But, you know, she said, practice improves your happiness, similar to learning a sport or a task. Right? And so that I just found really cool. Yeah, really interesting. And she has a whole bunch of practical tools, you know, on her website that you can go through and use, you know, and so one of the things though, she just gave us a practical tip was to reflect on three specific positive events every single day. Three specific positive events every single day, right? And we, we love this, we embrace this fully. We, we have, obviously, for those of you who are in our coaching group, you understand that we have a wins channel, and we Lesley Logan 21:24 on the show, we have FYF on Friday. Brad Crowell 21:26 FYF on Fridays, we celebrate wins inside of our group, because I think we've gotten somehow in this like societally, we've gotten to this, like, oh, you're bragging, you're bragging this, you know, you're arrogant. You're like, all this kind of thing. We never actually take time to look at the good things that have happened to us. Lesley Logan 21:45 I always also like people wait till it's finished. Because like, I remember growing up and like happened for us. Yeah. I remember growing up and like, you know, celebrating when the report card came out, but not actually celebrating like I like, like I actually studied, I actually put in the hard work to study for the test. So like, to me, it's something I'm trying to really change in my life is like, it's hard. It's really hard to recover an overachiever in fact that recovering overachiever really pissed me off yesterday. I have, but like, is like really going? Okay. Like? Is that is the process that I'm doing right now? Am I celebrating that like that I showed up today? And that I did the thing today and that this like, or am I just focused on the result? Because that is not actually happiness. And so it's I don't know, I think it's just really important to just celebrate than and be gratitude and find happy moments throughout the day and not go oh, I can't be happy until I've actually finished. Could you imagine if we didn't allow ourselves to celebrate this house until we bought it three years of just like sitting here not being gratitude first thing? Like, yeah, it's going to be terrible, I know probably wouldn't have had, if I had gotten it, we probably like well, it's not that great anyways.Brad Crowell 23:04 Well, so one thing that we instead of agency, if you're in there, we have a moment we have a I need a moment channel. So like, if something goes wrong, you we created a space for you to vent, complain, bitch, moan, whatever you want to call it about the thing. But we have a rule that you have to then go over to the wins channel, and you have to write down something that happened, that is a win for you. And what Alice was saying is focusing on the specifics of what is good, it is going to help you create balance, right? Because we get so sucked into what is not good. We dwell on that thing. And we never actually look at the other side of it. You know, and it might not be associated even with the thing. It might be something completely different. But there is good that is happening as well in your life. And it's important to make sure we're identifying those things, and acknowledging those things. And that's going to help change your perspective about you about life.Lesley Logan 24:04 Yep, yep. I really hate when I have to go. I'm so sorry. But you have to go to a win. And then it went two days ago. I'm like, no, no, today got to do it. And at the same time, same time, you don't do it later, same time. Should I show Meredith that I need a moment. Our project manager that I need a moment? No. In our company Slack. There's no I need a moment in my company Slack. So she went to random and she did. She said I need a moment and then she complained about something. And I had I had not been to random yet. I went to wins first and I was like, Oh, I now see why you wrote a win.Brad Crowell 24:38 Isn't that funny. I'm a day behind here. Yeah, well, yeah. So anyway, you know, thanks for hanging with us through this. Stick around. We'll be right back and we're gonna get to those Be It Action Items. Brad Crowell 24:50 Okay, so finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Alice Inoue? She said, to schedule yourself in.Lesley Logan 25:04 Are you gonna do that? How's it going?Brad Crowell 25:09 You're asking me if I'm gonna do that? Yeah, maybe I will. Because she said get to know yourself again. Right. So scheduling yourself and I'm scheduling my lunches, I scheduled in my sleep. But I don't schedule in like me time.Lesley Logan 25:23 No, you don't. And although the other day I did see you get up early and do some yoga on your own. Yeah. So I think you should celebrate that.Brad Crowell 25:30 Yeah, well, so she said, because we center so much on others that we forget to center on ourselves. Right. And so scheduling yourself out, I mean, it's pretty, pretty, it's a pretty quick and easy thing to do. To pull out your calendar schedule, schedule yourself in, we encourage every one of our OPC members to do this, so that they take time for their own self-practice, schedule yourself in. So I couldn't agree more love that. What about you?Lesley Logan 25:59 Give yourself permission to get to know yourself, I feel like this is actually really poignant. And apropo of the time that I'm in, because I feel like we lived here three years. I know some of the street names. A lot of stuff in the business is automated. And, you know, so there's like, I still have a ton of work to do. And I still have a ton of deadlines, but like, I actually do have, like, in the morning, I have like two or three hours just like do my thing. And there's a lot of my morning that I know I love to do. But there's other things I'm like, I mean, if you've been on this podcast that long enough, you probably know, I'm hobby hunting, we're still doing that. We are still doing that nothing is stuck. And so I first of all, I find like, getting to know myself more is because like, we've achieved a lot of our, like, 10-year goals together already. And so it's like, Okay, so what's, what's the next thing like, what? And not like, what's the next thing? Like, I'm not gonna celebrate the moment that we're in, but like, okay, but where are we pointing the compass to, at some point to take another step to? And so I've just been like, doing more journaling and doing more like reading through mantras and like enjoying some tarot cards. And I think it's really important. I think, sometimes I don't know, I feel like some people think that once you know yourself, you know yourself. And I actually think we're constantly changing in where we are. And so we're not concrete, we are constructs. That's what humble, the poet says. And so she said, she asked people like, what do you want? What do you want to be happy? And most people don't know. And I think that that's sad. I know what I want. I know what makes me happy. And I feel very happy in most moments, but just like kind of knowing what I what I want next, where I want to go next. What do I want to like, explore with my time and so yeah, so I think that's a great, great Be It action. It was pretty bold, and it's going to take some intrinsic work.Brad Crowell 27:55 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I remember someone asking me a similar question that had me stumped. Like, this was what do you want to be happy? And that one was what's what is enough? Yeah. And I was like, like, in my life in my career, and my vision and my goals, like what is enough? And I was like, I don't know the answer to that. That's weird. So yeah, this is and honestly like to dig into those things you need to set aside that time for yourself time, schedule yourself in. Lesley Logan 28:36 Schedule yourself in. All right, I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 28:38 And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 28:39 Thank you so much for listening. How are you going to use these tips in your life?
