Glitches in the MatrixThis whole "glitch in the matrix" thing has been freaking people out ever since that 1999 movie The Matrix came out.The idea is that our reality isn't real - it's just a simulation. Like, are we actually just minds trapped in bodies, or are we code in some crazy digital world? It really makes you think about whether we even exist or not.Within this supposed simulated reality, weird stuff happens sometimes that just doesn't make sense. Things teleporting across rooms, seeing the same person twice, getting déjà vu - that kind of trippy stuff. It happens fast and then it's over, but it sticks with you, you know? Makes you question what's actually going on.It's not just sci-fi nerds talking about this simulation theory either. Legit scientists like this MIT guy Rizwan Virk have gotten behind it.Virk reckons our universe could basically be a super advanced video game based on physics experiments looking at the building blocks of reality. Crazy, right?But you've got other big brain physicists at places like Harvard saying it's nonsense and there's no proof.Lisa Randall thinks the idea of higher beings making a simulation is just dumb. Still, the whole unknown of it all is pretty mind-bending when you start thinking about dimensions and stuff we can't even comprehend.In the end, whether we reside in a simulated world or not remains an enigma. As we ponder glitches in the matrix and the mysteries of multiple dimensions, we're reminded of the boundless complexities that shroud the nature of our existence, inviting us to explore realms both tangible and beyond.Check out Aly and Nat's podcast, Let's Get Haunted, here: https://www.letsgethaunted.com/welcomePatreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merch

This week Clint and Dawson sit down with Lisa Randall. Lisa graduated with the highest honors from Georgia Tech in 2000, She worked full time as a civil engineer while juggling a heavy training and racing schedule. She entered the professional mountain bike ranks in 2004 after 2.5 years of racing, but definitely struggled to see results since she was trying to train at the pro level while working full time. In 2006, she discovered a new addiction, Adventure Racing, and has competed in dozens of multisport races ranging from 3 hours to 5 days. Lisa has had the opportunity to complete the TransRockies Mountain Bike Stage Race as well as the 2013 Trans North Georgia Mountain Bike Race, a 350 mile non-stop MTB race across the mountains of North Georgia. While it was definitely the most physically and mentally draining event she had done, she completed the route in just under 2 days, which is still the women's record. In 2015, Lisa was proud to earn a stars and stripes jersey at the Marathon Mountain Bike National Championships. Being drawn to difficult events, she is a two time buckle recipient in the Marji Gesick Duathlon (2019 and 2023) and one of maybe 4 women who have ever earned buckles in the event's history. In 2021 Lisa was diagnosed with breast cancer so her treatment for that was how she spent a lot of 2021 and 2022. By 2023 she was feeling strong enough to get back out into endurance racing and she competed in Expedition Ozark, a 5 day adventure race, where her team was the 2nd US team to finish. She also raced solo at the Chattanooga Epic 48 hour adventure race (2nd overall) and won the women's title at the Solo Adventure Race Championships. She participates in competitive orienteering and has even dabbled in some 50K running events. Lisa is happiest on her bike but generally just loves to be outdoors. Lisa's passion for athletics, competition and the outdoors led to her voluntary resignation from the engineering profession in 2011 and the creation of Mountain Goat Adventures, which is an event company that specializes in Mountain Bike Races, Trail Runs and Off Road Duathlons. The creation of Mountain Goat Adventures has allowed her to share her passion with like minded people, as well as given her a chance to really give back to the organizations that provide some of the best trail systems in the Northwest Metro Atlanta area. Between herself, her family members, and many great volunteers, they have logged hundreds of hours of trail maintenance in conjunction with her events, as well as over a hundred thousand dollars in donations to trail groups, with SORBA Woodstock being our largest benefactor.

Is our obsession with data healthy or dangerous? Our specialists discuss.Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimes Look to the science' was the call from politicians and the public alike throughout the pandemic. As if science has a single definitive view, and the data one interpretation. Yet science is full of competing and sometimes contradictory views particularly at the edge of current understanding. And increasingly scientists see themselves as operating with models of reality. Ultimate final accounts being perhaps more typical of religion than the exploratory and sceptical approach at the core of science.Should we abandon the idea that science provides absolute answers? Should scientists and politicians avoid giving the impression that there is a single definitive account? Or do we need to cut through the complexity of competing outlooks and commit to a truth in order to drive action and change?Pioneering American physicist Lisa Randall, renowned philosopher of science Tim Maudlin and legendary cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman argue over the fundamental nature of science.

More than 60 million years ago, an object the size of a small city barreled into planet Earth, traveling at more than 22,000 miles per hour. That meteoroid, many scientists believe, triggered a set of cataclysmic climate changes and natural disasters that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. But what triggered the meteoroid? Lisa Randall, a particle physicist and bestselling author, tackles this question in her book, "Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs: The Astounding Interconnectedness of the Universe." Randall theorizes that the meteoroid was a comet that was dislodged from its orbit when the solar system passed through a disc of dark matter. If you're now wondering, "what's dark matter?", you're not alone. Dark matter is one of the great mysteries of modern science. Dark matter acts like matter, Randall said, "but what distinguishes it is that light just goes right through it. ... I wouldn't call it dark — I would call it transparent." "Billions of dark matter particles are going through us every second, but we don't know it because they're not interacting with us." In 2015, Randall joined MPR News host Kerri Miller to talk about her dark matter research and other mysteries of the universe. Let it whet your appetite for the conversation with novelist Emily St. John Mandel coming this Friday, which explores time travel in a futuristic world. Guest: Lisa Randall is a best-selling author and Harvard astrophysicist. To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above.

Today I am chatting with Lisa Randall. Lisa is a loving and generous wife, mother, grandmother, and audiologist. In this episode we dive deep into Lisa's journey of traveling. Her adventures started when she was young as she traveled with her parents, and this “travel bug” stuck with her as she grew up and discovered she could travel all around the world as an audiologist to help people hear. Lisa participated in mission trips and had a great impact on everyone she came in contact with. I hope Lisa's story encourages you to go after your next adventure.

Tip of the day…Batch record! Today I am supposedly going to talk about batch recording and Challenges. Can I do a potent 5-7 minute episode. No matter where you go there you are. Some of my sales history and how the power of visualization lands me where I am today. Me getting laid off from tech and the book “What Color Is Your Parachute” lay the foundation for amazingness. Ok, back on track! Create a challenge to get your customers micro wins and create momentum in their life. Check Cheryl Spencer's 5 day get 1000 followers TikTok challenge. Our friend got 11,000 followers in that 5 days! I was to stubborn to follow her model. I'm creating a “get your podcast of the ground” challenge.Administrative: (See episode transcript below) The people I mentioned in the episode.See See Cheryl Spencer's TikTok @monetizesocialclub See Dr. Shelly Burns @menopausesecrets See Pedro Adeo and his challenge workshop here: https://www.digitalmarketer.com/lp/pedro-adao-workshop/ and his design your challenge workshop.

That's what we'll talk about a little bit on this episode. But really what I want to talk about is challenges on the front end of creating some challenges. So very excited about that. But also batch recording. So, watch that glorious intro, I believe it's running in about three to four seconds on YouTube and about 20 to 30 seconds on podcast land. But enjoy the table rush talk show. I'll be right back. Subscribe, Like follow.Mischa Zvegintzov And I'm back. Batch record. Anybody savvy enough to see the episode right before this? We'll probably see that, hey, wait a minute. Your hair's the same. You're on the you're still on the uphill part of the walk. You know, when I like to keep my episodes between eight and 15 minutes. And I think growth for me, and 2022. As I record this, we're in February. growth for me is going to be getting less than eight minute episodes. Can I do a potent five or seven minute episode?Mischa Zvegintzov Real quick enough, you can see the ridiculous view. But I live in a magical part of the magical part of the world. Lots of magical parts of the world. I do believe this too. No matter where you go. There you are. So ultimately, if where you live, if your happiness is dependent on that. You may never be happy. I just happen to have landed. Encinitas, California. Cute little cottage. I'd say beach college but I don't want to give the impression that I'm on the beach. I can walk to the beach takes me five, seven minutes to Swamis beach. And I'm on the slope of a hill so I get some cool ocean breezes, breezes. And some, you know, little ocean view here and there. Not not not Whitewater. But yes, the ocean. So it's cool, whatever. It's quiet. It's about as quiet as it can be in a noisy part of Encinitas. Thanks for listening to that.Mischa Zvegintzov I think what's fun about that is that I back I was exiting the tech industry in 2001. And I'd had a good little run tech sales I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. And that industry was collapsing. It's doing everything I could to stay in it. But the universe was like you don't get to stay in this industry. So I was reading what color is your parachute? I believe is what it's called. It's like find your next job or find your next career book. But what it had you do was a lot of visualizations, visualizations of where you wanted to live. What's your house look like? What's your neighborhood look like? You know, what's the weather like? All these things? Okay. And this is really funny. It's really funny telling you this story as well. Because I did that I took it very seriously the What color is your parachute if you talk to my wife at the time everything that I was the work I was doing was manifesting i I shit you not sorry I just for any parents out there that has their kids watching this or their their teenagers whatever I apologize for this relatively benign that was yes, so I I get a job coming up out of that in the home loan business and all my skill set comes together this is tail end to 2021 and I'm fighting it actually I'm doing all this work all this you know deep soul searching stuff as recommended by what color's your parachute? And of course I end up in the job of my dreams at the time, which I've since now pivoted out of sugar cane the job of my dreams, but I had to get 15 year run.Mischa Zvegintzov Sorry, I end up today The purpose of this whole story is in the killer little beach house in the neighborhood walking walkable tents and walking as I visualized in that book and how crazy is that? How crazy is that? So I love meditation I love visualization I love you know trying to talk to that source that source that higher power that creative intelligence God, people have all sorts ofMischa Zvegintzov I'm back, I had to hit stop. What's the beginning of the video, it's talking about batch recording and challenging and challenges. Fast forward, currently, and literally in the house of my dreams, which is not going to be the house of many other people's dreams. Tiny, sold 1949. But I literally have landed in what is perfect for my ideal. What a gift that is.Mischa Zvegintzov So challenges, I did a summit awesome. Challenge Challenge is a five day. Next on the list, create a challenge, your creative challenge to bring somebody into your ecosystem of what you have to offer, can do it free or paid. But you create a three day five days seven day some people do longer day challenges. But what you're trying to do is create micro wins. To give help people end up with a result at the end. And then you can make an offer at the end of the challenge. So what's an example I did this, I have this friend and she created a tic tock challenge. It's awesome. Cheryl Spencer, you can find her on Facebook, Cheryl a Spencer, you can look her up on the TIC tock as well. What's it like? So, gosh, I wish I could remember what I'll drop the link in the show notes. Subscribe, and look in the show notes. I'll have Cheryl's handle in there.Mischa Zvegintzov But Oh, one last thing I met on visualizing. This is the thing about visualizing like I ended up in the house. But how I got there. I could not have predicted that at all. Did the visualization. How I ended up there? Oh my gosh, the set of circumstances. Crazy.Mischa Zvegintzov Anyhow, back to Cheryl Spencer's tic toc challenge. So at the her goal with her tic tock challenge is to have somebody take their brand new tic tock account and get it to oopsie get it to 1000 followers, you start a non business, tic tock account, by the way and non business account, get to 1000 followers. And then when you have 1000 followers, you can put your links in there and things like that. And she's got this great model of creating content. So that's her challenge. It's a five day challenge. Zero to 1000. And she gets you on path for that. Awesome challenge. Check it out. I'll have that link in the show notes as well. But this 111 woman, friend of mine in the TCC X actually, her name's escaping me. Of course, damn it, it's one of those days. If you watch the Lisa Randall episode, though, it's no big deal. forgetfulness, we always have forgetting forgetfulness, no matter how old we are, check out our interview Lisa Randall. But that as we get older, we attach a story to it. And that story, if it gets heavy enough, it creates fear in us. And then we have serotonin release, which actually degrades hip hippopotamus know the hypothalamus gland or something, whatever it is, that gland in your brain. So it can be a self fulfilling prophecy. You're getting older and forgetting stuff. Don't trip on it. You're always forgetting stuff you always have. It's just when you were 30. You could laugh at off. Or when you were 20. You could laugh it off.Mischa Zvegintzov But my friend, the menopause lady. I'll have her link in the show notes as well. She followed as following Cheryl's method. Exactly. And is already at she went from zero to 11,000 followers, one of her tiktoks got like 450,000 views. Like it's crazy. She's done maybe eight episodes. She was crazy. She literally hit that 1000 followers in that five days. I mean, I don't know I'm stubborn, and so doing my own thing. So at some point, I'll follow her method. But right now I'm like, I'm following my stubborn method. I'm just trying to repurpose my, my interview clips and get him out on the social media to create awareness. It's all I'm doing repurposing content. So the challenge. So my challenge is going to be more along the lines of, you know, five day podcast. Challenge. Mischa Zvegintzov Judas Priest. Love the old Judas Priest. Skateboard Park. Great neighborhood. Yeah, five day, and I'm still mulling it over, I'm just about to dive into this Pedro de owes challenge. He's got a challenge, create a challenge course, perhaps I'll throw that link in there as well. But the challenge is awesome, it's a great way to generate leads, build your email list. Get people in your ecosystem for free. They're joining your email list, so you can email them and sell them stuff later. As well as, as you get your challenges going. Free challenge you can sell them a service coming out of the challenge. So me for example, let's say hi to at the end of the five days, you'll have the name of your podcast, you'll have the theme of your podcast, you'll have the art together, you'll have your intro and outro put together, just loose framework might be a little different. But at the end of the five days, you'll have all the pieces together so that you can then go to one of the you know, one of the distributors and create what's called your RSS feed. Now, at the end of the challenge, I'm thinking, I'll have the RSS feed. So I'll have the list of everything you need to do to get your podcast live. And it'll be free. Make it to the end, you're going to get this here's everything you need to do to put those pieces of the puzzle together. And people still run stop signs. Skelly. My little when my boys were a little scary. Anyway. Hey, if you're new, welcome to the table rush talk show. Welcome to The Table rush. Talk Show. How fun is this? What I could do is offer at the end to help you get your show live and charge a fee for that. And perhaps coach you moving forward. So that is an idea of a challenge. Probably realistically going to do something like that it's coming your way.Mischa Zvegintzov Take away from this value packed episode. Batch record baby. when inspiration strikes. Create episodes eight to 10 minutes long, eight to 15 minutes long. As soon as you get to your 10 minute mark, wrap it up, hit stop. Start on your next episode. Batch record challenges are really cool right now. You should look into it. Challenges. Number three, do a little visualization. Do a little visualization. You could very well end up in the house of your dreams with a business of your dreams with a woman of your dreams. The man of your dreams what else free in the mind. Think I covered all the bases Love you all. Have a great day. Thank you for listening subscribe, comment. Bye different names for it. But Hello Oh my gosh, to Jose talking about and I'm gonna have to edit this section out
I'm hell bent on posting to Reels, YT Shorts, and a TikTok every day a day for 90 days in a row. This is the results of me TRYING the first 23 days. It wasn't until day 11 that I have been able to get one out per day. Following, looks, likes have not been the results I hoped. BUT I have had a ton of engagement. People asking me what is going on. Requesting that I help them repurpose their content. Engagement up! Listens down. People from my Email LIst, my social, and my podcast engage in a conversation! The cracky nature of the social media. I have systemized the process and created SOP's. The list of tech I'm better at.

Welcome to The Table rush talk show. This episode I'm going to talk about the last 23 days of me trying to post a real, a short and a tick tock every day for the last 23 days. That's what I'm going to talk about the results. What's happening, the ups and downs, the goods the bads. Take a lesson, fun stuff.Mischa Zvegintzov Okay, work. Okay, the results of posting, trying to post every day for the last 23 days. And as you know, I'm on a mission to post a mini clip 60 Seconds or Less of my interviews, or my riffs like this one, I would consider a riff, you know, an eight to 15 minute rough episode. I'm posting a clip at least a clip a day for 90 days and see what the results are. I started back on January 8, as I record this, it's January 31. There's the train going by I don't know if you can hear it. Hi, train. Oh, how about that sign up there in the back. That's my son gave that to me for Christmas. Quiet. Table Rush In Progress. I put that sign out on the front door. My house is really cool little house up on the hill on Encinitas. A bluff. I don't know what you'd call it. I'm above the train tracks anyway, overlooking all Encinitas. The little ocean views super cute. Anyway. Thank you for indulging me on this tangent. But I've I've created the space where it's inviting super peaceful. People like to come by say hi, knock on the door. Just walk in. You know, check it out what's up Meesh. And I love that. it's I've intentionally tried to create that. and and so I was handwriting signs and putting them on the front of the door. You know who with Sharpies? My handwriting is horrible. And so Whalen for Christmas got me that amazing sign quiet table, Russian podcast, table rush in progress. Anyway, I'm hanging it there temporarily till I put it on the front door when I'm doing an interview Phew!.Mischa Zvegintzov Let me get to it. So I've been ups and downs. It took me it was so hard for me to get a clip out that initially I was only able to get a clip out on January 8, a clip out on January 11. Then a clip out on I got it written down here. January 13. And then according to my notes, I believe it's from the 19th on I've been able to get a clip out every day. So I've been writing standard operating procedures. When I say get a clip out. I put the clip out on shorts, YouTube shorts, Instagram rails, Facebook rails and Tik Tok. And then I also put it out on Instagram Stories, make sure to put posts to feed or feed the posts and Facebook stories. And my hope was that immediately I would get 1000s of subscribers and millions of YouTube views and follows and looks and likes but that has not been the case. No it has not. But this is what I found Instagram. Instagram, I have a spike in I have a tiny little Instagram following. But I had a spike in. In in followers. I think they follow they follow us on Instagram, Spike and followers but also the the the net decline or the net increase was two so I had 12 Join AND and OR 13. Join follow in nine unfollow because perhaps people weren't appreciating the content I was posting and God bless him go to table rush. Go to at Mr. Misha Z on Instagram and check me out.Mischa Zvegintzov I'm also gonna say the key thing is engagement, I have gotten a ton of engagement. That's what I want you to know. My my niched micro audience has been very engaged. I've had some incremental growth in some YouTube channels. So I started my YouTube channel brand new, I'm up to 10 followers or subscribers, excuse me. So that's awesome. Definitely had growth in my Facebook, friends, I'm just doing it on my personal page. You know, I've definitely got 50 or 100 friend requests. But I've had a ton of engagement. So direct engagement from Instagram, direct in like direct messages, direct messages from Facebook. Got some great comments on the YouTube. When I say engagement, people asking me what I'm up to what's going on? This is cool. Somebody thought I was a memory expert. I was posting memory clips of my interview with memory expert, Lisa Randall. And like, when did you become a memory expert, and I just was borrowing authority. So I got the proof of that idea that you can borrow somebody's authority. I am have been people have been requesting of me to help them repurpose their content, because it's what I'm up to right now. And so people are like, Hey, we would, you know, get us some quotes out there. We want to repurpose our content, give us some secrets, what are you doing, and they're very excited. Some people have some content that some interviews and they want to repurpose those interviews and, and use it to drive traffic and things like that. So that's very exciting.Mischa Zvegintzov I literally from the ninth, or from the eighth until the 31st, I have put out two quotes. Which is awesome. Going from no quotes to two quotes that I write down here. Some people are so much better at being concise on their episodes. This should be part two, but we'll dig it, I'm gonna go down the list. Better engagement. But But, but less listens. And actually, that was on the podcast, too. So I was taking the thumbnails that I've been making, because I learned how to make thumbnails very efficiently. So I'm putting the thumbnails on my podcast episodes that have the headline. So perhaps some people who might normally click and not listen now don't need to click. But the engagement has gone up. People are listening for longer, and they're listening. So that's awesome. gained a bunch of followers on Instagram, but lost a bunch to people reaching out directly wanting help. So a lot of people wanting help and have conversations going. I've gotten two quotes up. Definitely more communications, more communication, and it's an interesting conversations. And this thought came to me, if you want engagement, you've got to engage. And so these little clips are a great way to engage.Mischa Zvegintzov I was having... this is really cool. This is number five on my list. I was having a late lunch breakfast with a group of people. And some of them are on my email list. And so it was this was the narcissism bit and this amazing conversation started about narcissism and people are like, oh, yeah, I saw the video clips. Oh, yeah. I listened to the podcast episode was another person that couple other people were like, oh, yeah, we got that email. And so and this awesome conversation started so how crazy was that?Mischa Zvegintzov Take took me today 25 minutes to post to those five places. And I'm betting I can speed it up. So at the start of this whole thing on January 8, again, today's January 31. as I record this, it took me three days to get two clips out. And today I got I got five I got that one post after that one short after the five places in 25 minutes. So that is awesome.Mischa Zvegintzov Oh my god, it's distracting. It can be distracting looking at the metrics as you post and just... the it's social media is so cracky I haven't been very active on the social media or reels or things like that, and it just sucks you in. So I'm like, oh, no, you have to manage that. What did I write down here? There's my list of stuff, I have to write down. I wrote down cracky nature of the social media, working on scheduling the metrics checking, right, so I've got my list of the things I'm adding to my time block on my calendar. So schedule, activities. And so schedule, checking the metrics are the results of the posts, schedule the interactions with the people the engagement, so people are going to reach out instead of instantly responding. Scheduling. The the engagement, I guess, is the only is the best way to say it.Mischa Zvegintzov What else I can Oh, I can now much more efficiently get A a full episode to YouTube. And then have it be a podcast episode. And if I want pull out a good email to email for my list if I like so I've systemized that whole process. I've got the standard operating procedures for it. So it's really cool. What I ended up doing with this episode, just about a week ago, six days ago, I recorded the episode, I turned it into a YouTube episode, repurposed it to podcast, sliced and diced it down to a week's worth of 20 30 40 second clips, and then turn it into an email. So that took me a chunk of hours. But then I was able to schedule the week's worth of pushing out the clips. It's been awesome. people I promise I'll get better at talking about about these things. Anyway, there you go. There's a brief recap. Of of, of, of the last three weeks of content repurposing. It's been awesome. It's been fun. Oh, lastly, I'm much better at making thumbnails working Canva working in GarageBand, and iMovie. iMovie is a burly beast, and I'm getting the hang of it and getting other ones say mastered the little bit that I need to use. I'm getting getting my arms around. So there you go. There's the results of my last my last 21 days of repurposing content. As always, subscribe, subscribe below. Love to all enjoy the day.
I had a major break through moment. I finally saw how to borrow someones authority and the power of it. YouTube channels, podcasts, and blogs are great places to publish because they are SEO searchable. And they are indexable. I'd interviewed a memory specialist Lisa Randall. She helps people thrive in old age with memory courses. I interviewed her and repurposed her interview into 10 15 clips. All of a sudden, as I'm pushing out these little clips, people are engaging me like I'm a memory specialist. It was freaking cool. I got to borrow her authority.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH this episode here Table Rush Talk ShowCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!

And watching today. Just wanted to start with that. But anyway, this episode is all about how to borrow somebody's authority. How to borrow somebody is authority.Mischa Zvegintzov I had a major breakthrough. epiphany moment, aha moment, I finally sort of saw how to borrow somebody's authority and the power of it. So listen in and learn. Right, as everybody knows, by now, or perhaps you don't, because you're new to the show, welcome, new to the show people.Mischa Zvegintzov Somebody just walked by. If you've listened to any of my previous episodes, I just think it's so funny. I am the crazy person. You realize, as we walk and talk and record into these boxes, it's a fine line between the homeless and us. I'm just saying homeless people are walking around rambling. There rambling away, who are they talking to? They probably have an audience, we just can't see it.Mischa Zvegintzov Anyhow, I've been diligently publishing every day for a year, actually, more than a year now. And it took me about a year and one month to have some major breakthroughs, epiphanies. Well about the power of doing that, which maybe I'll get to in this episode, maybe I won't just know that publishing every day for a year to your chosen platform and what I would consider a publishing publishable platform, because it's indexable. It's Seo searchable. It has longevity as a base of content that you own. I would consider that YouTube channel cuz you're creating the video. searchable, obviously, YouTube, highly searchable, highly searchable. indexable, somebody searches something. There's a great chance your documentation, your story, your whatever comes up. Well, it can you know what I mean, there's not a great chance. There's a chance, or podcasts, podcasts, podcasting, is super searchable indexable, somebody could go to google.com and search the subject that you talk about. And then all of a sudden your podcast comes up, because you've got shownotes, because you've got, you know, the terms of the right places. And it can be super messy. Trust me, my podcast is coming up in certain places now because because it's out there and findable. And then lastly, blogging, blogging, and it's definitely come into my awareness how powerful blogging is. You know, the written story. What I don't consider publishing, although a ton of people would argue, would be posting on Facebook, would be posting on Instagram, would be posting on Tik Tok, Snapchat, any of that stuff. This is what I would tell you. Those are distribution channels. About think of it that way. It's just a distribution channel. Facebook could go out of style today. Overnight. There's Facebook slaps, Google slaps, there's all these terms. And if that's your main source, that's no good. However, if you control the content, if you control the creation, in blog, podcast, YouTube channel. You can slice and dice repurpose all that content out to the social media channels. So those are distribution channels. And there's going to be new distribution channels. There's clubhouse there's all these things out there. I'm an old guy, so Well, old ish. There's people older than me. But as I'm in my 50sMischa Zvegintzov Perhaps I'm not as aware of the new apps as they come in. to fruition what's another distribution channel, LinkedIn, Twitter. So create your content on your blog, your YouTube channel, and again, YouTube channel could go away. But if you're on YouTube, you own you have all that video. Searchable stuff, right? Because you're in effect creating it and then pushing it out on YouTube. You get what I'm saying. People are going to disagree. ton of people having success, just tick tocking are building businesses straight from Tik Tok. God bless him. Go do that, if that's calling to you.Mischa Zvegintzov Now, thank you for listening to that read the power of authority. So I've interviewed a bunch of people. I recently had the interviewed somebody a memory specialist, Lisa Randall. She's a genius. Check it out, you can hear it, you can watch the Lisa Randall interview on the YouTube channel. Or you can listen to it on the table rush talk show, which also goes out as a podcast, just google google table rush talk show on any of the search table rush talk show on any of the major podcasting platforms and it will come up. Again, the power of borrowing somebodies authority. So Lisa Randall, super smart memory specialist, she literally helps people thrive in old age, with her memory courses. Like she helps them have better memories in old age than they did before they hit old age. She proves through science, science proves that the illusion of your memory having to go have Alzheimers of all these things, perhaps is just that an illusion if you work on it, not to say that whatever those are rabbit holes, I don't need to go down. You get what I'm saying?Mischa Zvegintzov Lisa's super smart. I interviewed her had a lot of fun. Had to switch hands on the water bottle. And I slice and dice that content. I sliced and diced that into a bunch of 15/32 One minute clips, probably about 10 of them. 15 of them. I'm currently in this repurpose content mode. And so I push a ball out across a district. I push it all out across the distribution channels across YouTube shorts across reels across, you know, Instagram and Facebook reels across Tik Tok. Just those created a ton of engagement. It was super awesome. And I posted engaging clips of her being really smart. And explaining how it all works. The hypothalamus all these things. Go this into the interview, you'll figure out what the hypothalamus is. But I started getting it started getting direct messages. asking me about memory stuff. Right? They're like, Oh my gosh, you're so smart about all this stuff. Oh my gosh, you know, this is the course that I like, oh my gosh, she should read this book. Oh my gosh, tell me more. Misha, tell me more. How did you get involved in all this memory stuff. I interviewed somebody slice and dice the interview. chopped it up, send it out. It's very powerful. All of a sudden, I'm perceived as an expert in the memory space. And all I did was interview somebody, ask some engaging questions. Smile. I'm very, I react a lot like I am very emotive. So I have that going for me or not. If you like an emotive people, then you will be irritated. By the way I respond to people. But no matter. I got to borrow Lisa's authority. I'm very excited to interview because I'm all into sales and marketing. That's my main thing that I'm talking about and diving into right now.Mischa Zvegintzov I love spirituality. Love A Course in Miracles. I love prayer meditation. You know, I'm all into the 12 step recovery programs just been sober. Super long time. Lots of stuff I'm into. But I'm excited to. I've interviewed some really smart sales and marketing people, and I can't wait to slice and dice that content, push it out and be and be an I am an authority. I've sold a lot of stuff, done a lot of marketing, but in the new in the digital area. Anyway, you get what I'm saying. I'm very excited to create that engagement to increase my authority by interviewing other people and then repurposing that contract content and distributing it out across the channels. Alright, I'm done. That B might be my most concise episode. And eight or 10 Thank you for joining me on the journey. Love to all subscribe. Subscribe in the bottom corner.

Lisa is having success with her memory course and is being asked “How come this ins't on line?” Where can I get more information? And moreover her mom is stressed out about her memory.Lisa Randall is a memory memory Specialist. She has her education in Kinesiology, (MS) Gerontology and Public Health, and hung with the memory pro's at Scripps La Jolla. And her “Memory Alive Program has delivered engaging and effective transformational memory training to individuals and small groups, along with corporate and community organizations for many years.See everything Lisa Randall here: https://integrativememory.comSee her current offerings here: https://integrativememory.com/current-offeringsSee her memory meditations on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0A3cQ1xlafZpj-nf5RyJcQEmail her here: lisa@chunkyseahorse.comSome of the takeaways:Spirituality tied with memory and your mental health. The physics behind it. Both memory and spirituality. The parallels.The power of emotions and sensations on our memory. The power of emotions on our ability to remember.What do you say to someone who is 65 or 70 who is balking at this program? I would tell them that, that all of neuroscience contradicts their belief that memory loss is inevitable, and, and that the concept that as I age, I will then lose my memory and forget is one that we buy into. It is not based on science, the brain is plastic, the brain never stops. It never loses its ability to generate new neural connections.We never are too old to stop changing our brain ever. And so I would point people to science, there's way too much science. We simply have bought into a concept that's that scientifically unfounded.Her success stories ...the reflection on how much more they're enjoying the moments that they are creating. How much more they are focused on creating memories that they want to keep. And that's been the moments that give me the chills. Where I think that is it. Because who cares if we can remember a bunch of shitty moments strung together right? But if we are focused on being present, and being aware and really valuing the creation of beautiful memories, that's it. What could be better than that? That is what I have loved.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!

I've totally gone sideways. Right from the start. I was looking at your website, and it says, meet Lisa Randall. Ms. So I was like, Miss Lisa, whatever. And Lisa and I have a little bit of a history where we're great friends, correct, Lisa?Lisa Randall Correct. That is awesome.Mischa Zvegintzov And, Lisa, you're a memory specialist? Yes. That is correct. Fantastic. And you have a program called Memory Alive. The Memory Alive Learning Program, which we're going to discuss a little bit. Yes. Yes. Fantastic. And you have an education in Kinesiology.Lisa Randall If I remember correctly, yes. That isMischa Zvegintzov Perhaps some gerontology and public health? Yes. Yes. in gerontology means older than us people.Lisa Randall Oh, Study of Aging.Mischa Zvegintzov Study of aging?Lisa Randall YeahMischa Zvegintzov And let's see what else you have delivered engaging and effective transformational memory programs to individuals and small groups, along with corporate and community organizations for many years. And with the fantastic style and flair that is Lisa Randall.Lisa Randall Absolutely.Mischa Zvegintzov Fantastic. So our story is, you've been a part of my entrepreneurial journey, which is super fun. I'm having Microphone. Microphone insecurity. There we go. Yes. So I started the Bitch Slap accelerated path to peace podcast. And you were actually my very first interview. And we were having so much fun. And we went so deep and talked about so much like deep personal stuff that we kind of came to the conclusion that maybe now's not the time to publish that episode. Correct.Lisa Randall That's how I recall it. Yes. Mischa Zvegintzov We were talking about wound'y things that were like perhaps some people just don't need to know about this yet, but I'm sure if we talked about it today would all be fine. But it was part of my growth experience too, because I was so attached to having that interview go out there that I fought you very hard. It as a matter of fact, I fought you hard enough that I went ahead and and somehow manipulated the universe into having it be okay that I just went ahead and publish the episode. And, anyway, I great I finally took it down. I was like, Man, I'm just Misha, you're just like being an asshole. Excuse my language listeners, but it does happen. Sometimes we can be willful and push envelopes. But it was such a you were such a great part of my, my journey as I'm growing entrepreneurially so thank you, Lisa.Lisa Randall You're welcome Mischa.Mischa Zvegintzov What's that?Lisa Randall Thank you.Mischa Zvegintzov Yes. And so we thought it would be fun as I'm transitioning out of this more spiritual ethereal style. I don't know if message is the right thing but my own journey. I was like, oh, maybe I'll help people find God or whatever. I was like, You know what, I really love business and really talking business and growing businesses and and spirituality being expressed through entrepreneurial endeavors. I think that's a much better way to path for me, right? And so you and I were like touch wouldn't be awesome to to sort of have an end Bitch Slap last interview. Wouldn't it be ironic if the first interview that went nowhere? If you got to be the last? The last Bitch Slap accelerated path to piece of the official interview. Sort of close that loop. And then at the same time, Hey, you are this amazing... You are this amazing entrepreneurial spirit that you're embracing now, like you're ready to level up your business, right? Like what we just talked about that you do. And that perhaps you put aside some of your, you know, gladly put aside some of your entrepreneurial aspirations or you know, PhD aspirations, things like that so you could grow a family and have some babies and things, and things like that. Yeah?Mischa Zvegintzov Good. Thank you for that dissertation. Everybody who's listening, I've just totally co-opted this episode, and made it about me. But what the hell, I have a gift? So Lisa Randall, after that amazing, wonderful, beautiful, beautiful introduction, why don't you talk to you've, you've got this Memory Alive. thing, but that, hey, it's time to? When did you tell tell us about where you are with it a little bit. I know you teach classes, your community centers or frame what you're doing right now and perhaps, given give us a vision of what you hope for?Lisa Randall Yeah.Lisa Randall I absolutely will. Thanks Mischa. I love how you said, you know, expressing spirituality through entrepreneurial endeavors. I thought that was a really cool way to say... it kind of it really articulates Well, I think the transition that you're making, and also what this process of starting this company, and teaching what I've been teaching has been for me. So that was really, really beautifully articulated and I appreciate that. And so, the the process of putting together this memory program started for me when I was working full time for Scripps Health, and I was working in integrative medicine. And so, it was born of a very, you know, scientifically based practice pragmatically based foundation. Of, you know, what...Lisa Randall What is a whole person approach to better memory, what is the whole person approach to preventing memory loss, and based on the foundation of, you know, all kinds of other programs that I helped to create it scripts. And when I took it on my own, when I left scripts, and I began working on this program on my own, it was, it was also at a time when my life was transforming, you know, I was going through divorce, and I was recreating, really kind of transforming as a as a person. And so this, this, the topic, the content has shifted in its meaning for me, and it's also translated into a new way that I approach teaching classes. And, interestingly, as the, as the meaning has, as changed for me and has I...Lisa Randall As I have really gotten so much more spiritually focused, I found that the content that I'm teaching is so much more well received, so much more effective. And I have really found a way to connect with the my students and, and the content on such a deeper level. And that's been a really beautiful thing for me. So, you know, as I've, as I've gone through this, you know, over the last several years through this transformation in my personal life, and as I've transformed the content that I've been teaching. I have, you know, I'm at a place right now, where there is there's a ton of passion behind what I'm doing. And as I continue to see the, the, the, what I'm producing, benefit the lives of the people that I teach my motivation to do more increases. And so I have people asking me, why isn't this online? Where can I get more information? I have a... My mom is stressed out about her memory, how can I help her and there's so many things that I want to do a provide, but I feel inept, I feel at a loss for how to take the content that I've created, and the passion that I have for it along with the new confidence that it's really benefiting others. And how do I take that and move that to a space where I can make it more accessible for others? And also make it a more I also build a more secure business out of it as well. So that I can spend more time on it and so that I can make this a more substantial means of supporting myself and my family.Mischa Zvegintzov Mm hmm. Fantastic. I love that I think Can we touch on two points real quick?Lisa Randall Certainly.Mischa Zvegintzov So you said you, you had a shift in here somewhere, partially due to divorce or a realignment of your identity? Maybe there's a bunch of different ways to say that. But your... the way you were teaching, you started to bring in that spirituality spirituality. Was that a conscious decision? Or was that an epiphany moment? Or tell me about that that arc? Does that question make sense?Lisa Randall It does. It does. I think it was a combination of the two. I think that, you know, I've always been kind of looking for that purpose, right? I've always been looking for what you know, what am I always been so jealous of friends who have said, I want to be a doctor, I want to be a fill in the blank, because I have always been like, I don't want to be Ah ___________. You know, but I know how I want to feel. I know, I want to feel like I'm productive. And I know that there are there are qualities that are intrinsic to me that are useful to others. And I want to use that I want to have the feeling of knowing that those intrinsic things are benefiting others. And I think that's very common. I think that's what some people are really clear on what those qualities are and how to use it. I've never been clear on either. And so the shift was conscious. And it was also based on epiphanies. And I think that consciously it's been the knowing of "I want to pursue that passion". But shoot was that passion in the first place, right. And I knew I was passionate about this subject. And it wasn't one that I was going to drop researching regardless of whether or not it was my, my job because...Lisa Randall I'm fascinated by neurology, I'm fascinated by memory, I'm fascinated by the brain. And I'm always going to be looking into that, I think, as my, my spiritual education, for lack of a better term, as I dove more into spirituality, I think what what struck me was the science behind the spirituality that I pursued.Lisa Randall So when I read on quantum physics, when I read about, you know, when I looked at David Hawkins and letting go. And the science behind spirituality, it all lined up with the, the, the fundamental components of memory and cognition, that I was teaching in a really insightful way. And so there were several moments where I, where I had, you know...Lisa Randall I did a reading I had a recognition that, you know, in order to remember better, we must be paying attention, we have to like the crux of a good memory, is attention, the crux of a good memory is the ability to be present. And, and I recognize that I can't be present unless I can forget a lot of my old ideas, a lot of my story, a lot of my story that prevents me from being being emotionally mentally, spiritually present to the to the here and the now. And I had that cool epiphany...Mischa Zvegintzov I was that tell me about that epiphany. Was this like your daughter? Or an ex husband? Or some, some? Some? Do you remember the day or the moment? Or...Lisa Randall I remember, specifically, I mean, I remember generally speaking, the, the the idea of like, oh, my gosh, I have to forget before I can remember. And I would love to share with you something that I read the very next day after I read this. And it was, it was in second sorry, we fight but yeah, it was about it. It was about two years ago.Lisa Randall And I I think that the bizarre contradiction of forgetting in order to remember struck me but I knew it was the truth. And on the very next day, I read in one of my spiritual books... no one questions that connection of learning and memory, learning is impossible without memories, since it must be consistent to be remembered. I said before that he teaches remembering and forgetting, but the forgetting is only to make the remembering consistent, you forget in order to remember better. Lisa Randall And that's directly from a spiritual text. Nothing to do with cognition with memory, but it did fall into my awareness the day after I had this epiphany about "I gotta forget, I gotta forget my, my old ideas, my my story", and and that concept forgetting is essential to the ability to remember not just for me, but but on the whole, and not just in a spiritual sense, but in a cognitive sense.Lisa Randall And so, with those, with these, you know, these things fall into your awareness at certain times, and you can't ignore the timing of those, you know, I can't ignore the fact that I read that the very day after I had this, this epiphany! And those are the types of, I would say, affirmations that I've gotten over the course of the last few years, that have helped me to know that I am doing what I'm supposed to be doing. And, and B, this is meaningful work outside of just...Lisa Randall I want to be smarter, I want to be more cognitively fit. Those are, those are really, those are really fabulous goals to achieve, too. But there's something bigger and greater that through that desire through that goal that so many people have, "I don't want to lose my memory", I don't want to, you know, "I don't want to go through dementia, memory loss, etc". Through that desire to prevent losing our memory, there's a greater, there's a greater message. And whether that message is just for me, or for the people that I could bring it to, that gives it so much more purpose for me.Mischa Zvegintzov I love that. That's amazing. Can I ask you a question? And, and I'm gonna ask you to perhaps be vulnerable? Are you open to that?Lisa Randall Sure of course, fantastic.Mischa Zvegintzov So you have this epiphany in the moment you read in your spiritual, in the spiritual texts that has meaning to you brings you connection to Source... your... there's obviously a struggle going on, on one side of you, and you're trying to break free of a situation, clearly, right. And so then you're like, you have this epiphany, I need to I need to, how do you say forget to remember, I'm sorry? Forget to...Lisa Randall Essentially I need to forget? Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov Right. So you're like... I need and so is this?Mischa Zvegintzov What is that tension that's driving that? Is it with relationship? is it with, with something, there's a tension point that you're trying to break free from? Can you talk to that? because that's obviously, I think, an important piece of your story right here. It's like, hey, reality is, I can be free of this. I've just, i Everything's coalescing by my gerontology and public health. So I get to, you know, I'm trying to help seniors or people age, memory gracefully, and retain and grow and strengthen their memories and these sorts of things. And, and... and you're a spiritual person, right, which I love about you. And so like, it's you have that lightning bolt moment, do you read? But what's the tension point? That's, does that make sense?Lisa Randall Kind of, um, like, kind of what am I trying to be free from?Mischa Zvegintzov Thank you.Lisa Randall Yes. Okay. So, um, and I don't know how specifically I can answer that question. But I'm, you know, I think that...Lisa Randall I think we can all recognize in ourselves certain ways that we think act and operate that don't serve us. That don't serve our freedom. Right. Yeah. And I certainly have had the ability to look back on my life and recognize, "wow", you know, I've certainly made things harder than I have needed to. and all for the sake of protecting how I wanted to be perceived. Or how I wanted people to think about me. Or how I didn't want to think about myself, perhaps. And, you know, I think that there, of course, are always specific situations that I can point to, I was kind of redefining myself after divorce. I was trying to, I'm trying to validate myself in a way that, you know, externally, I felt I needed to..., well, you know, also recognizing that external validation wasn't even available.Lisa Randall And also, you know, looking back on an entire lifetime of, of thought processes that that were that were those that kneecaps me. You know, that I kneecapped myself and, and I kneecapped my own progress, spiritually and financially and, you know, in terms of my education, and I'm just looking at my My freedom was contingent upon letting go of, of these old ideas.Lisa Randall And, and when it comes to, you know, I think when we, when we get an integrity with ourselves when we get an integrity with what our foundational values are, and, you know, with, with how we're thinking, the words we're using to communicate and then how we're acting, well, what are we doing in this life it isn't in integrity with, with our... with what we really believe and what we think. And there was discord there, and I couldn't be present to, to the, to the moment I couldn't be present to my kids to my career to anything, if I was living in this turbulence, that that existed in the discord between how I thought things should be or my ideas about the way things should go based on crap.Lisa Randall You know, like, (Yeah thank you) there and I think that that was the epiphany of like, wow, I need to forget, I need to forget about my anger towards so and so I need to forget about how I don't think I'm good enough, I need to forget about how my life should look, you know, like, why I why it's a, you know, a failed marriage or a failed career or failed, I need to redefine all those things. Lisa Randall I need to open up my mind to a new definition, a new concept of what of what success is because, because getting into alignment with myself, that's the only measure of success that I want to strive for. And I know that when I am in alignment with my true values, alignment, integrity, and when I am able to live a spiritual life that that holds hands with my career that holds hands with my relationship that holds hands with how I raise my kids, that's when the only time that is the only time and place that the that what I create in terms of my career and what I offer the community. That's the only place that that could grow.Mischa Zvegintzov Perfect. You know, you answered the question beautifully. Thank you for that, um,Lisa Randall Maybe excessively?Mischa Zvegintzov That's all right. You know, we're gonna refine that. Lisa Randall. That's one of the things we're gonna work on. (Fabulous) Yes, so tell me so we've got your, your Memory Alive that's come out of this, come out of this cauldron of change and growth and spirituality and color and you're like, oh, my gosh, I I literally have a vision. Right?Mischa Zvegintzov And so tell me about the Memory Alive program. What are we doing here? What's it doing? Like you're helping what seniors? What do you what's going on?Lisa Randall Well, target audience. Misha is unfortunately you and (Laughter) I are actually the, the, the the demographic that can do the most in terms of improving cognition, preventing, preventing memory loss, but but everyone at any age can take steps towards a better memory. And that's one of the taglines that I use any everyone at any age, the brain is ah, as we all know, the brain is elastic and so we can always make steps to improve the way we think. And, and, and learn and grow. So basically, yes... what I do is I teach...Lisa Randall I talked about emotions and the the power that emotions have on our ability to remember and also the power that we have to look to and foster specific emotions, we do have choices over the emotions that we sit in, and also the fire so attention change, emotion and sensation, the sensations that we experience. Our episodic memory, involves all of our emotions, all five arguably states of our of our senses. And so these foundational components, make up the Memory Alive program and I teach them through a series of classes and resources.Lisa Randall the fundamentals of this program which our attention the the improving our ability to be able to pay attention to be aware, promoting, inviting change into our lives, inviting the ability to have new experiences, that do promote neuroplasticity, and cognitive reserve, but also joy and, and experiences that we care to remember.Mischa Zvegintzov Fantastic. And do you have a set? Currently, do you have a set number of classes? Is it yes,Lisa Randall it varies depending on who I'm teaching. So there's not currently a set number of classes. And that's one of the things that I'm working to kind of streamline and and hone in on.Mischa Zvegintzov Oh, fantastic, good, good, good, good. And in a nutshell, I know, I know, everybody can perhaps thrive by learning how to, you know, maximize their memory. But like, again, maybe talk to this target market.Mischa Zvegintzov So you've got people our age in their 40s, and 50s. And where you're trying to, excuse me, you're trying to sort of help them at a time when perhaps memory can start to taper off. You're like, hey, let's, let's actually help you thrive with your memory and perhaps stave off memory degradation into the, into our senior years. Am I framing that properly is that kind of...?Lisa Randall And I would I, you know, I think I kind of jokingly said, you know, you, you and I are the target audience, and we might from my business, my target audience is, you know, 60s to 90s, probably. And it is the it is the older adult who's, who is looking to strengthen their memory. And there it could be because there's fears about things that they forgotten in the past. It could be there's fear around watching a family member or a loved one go through memory loss. And it couldn't be just out of the knowing, hey, I want to stay cognitively robust. What was the second part of your question? Show? Sorry, I forgot.Mischa Zvegintzov No, no. No, I think you answered it perfectly. You said, hey, the you're helping? Well, it sounded like two things, you're helping people that are in their 60s to 90s Stay cognitively robust. And perhaps at the same time, you're helping people who are with somebody who's not cognitively robust, and maybe wants to know, more tools and things like that. So they can thrive in that environment. Yeah?Lisa Randall It's all focused on the individual. So I don't really I don't really, if I'm working with someone who's also a caregiver, my, my program is, is, is for the participant. So you know, there's a completely different set of needs for people who do have dementia or Alzheimer's disease, but a lot of things that I teach are contraindicated for someone who actually is experiencing more advanced stages of memory loss.Lisa Randall So it is it is very much on preventative end of things.Lisa Randall However, in my humble opinion, I do think that what I am teaching would definitely benefit the mindset of someone who's also working as a caregiver for someone with memory loss.Mischa Zvegintzov Great. I love that. But currently with with your program, right now, it's more for the person that's wants to wants to work on their cognitive, how did you say that?Lisa Randall They want to become more cognitively robust. We're learning. We're learning better ways to remember. Right? So it's, if you look at it as part of continuing education or adult education, people that want to learn how to remember better,Mischa Zvegintzov And have you do you have any? Do you have, you're having if this online, you need to grow this, you need to, you need to expand and get this message out to more people because what you're doing works.Lisa Randall Yes, right. I would love to be right, exactly. I have people asking me for things. And I have, I am so excited to get more clarity on how to give it to them.Mischa Zvegintzov Fantastic. Can I ask you another question? Absolutely. I'm sure people that are looking people that are looking at your course that are in their, you know, 60s to 90s. And they're aware that they've got some that that they're at the point of they're ready. They're like, hey, you know what, I am ready to work on my memory because I clearly see it's going to help me have a richer life into my twilight years. However we want to however you want to say what's that? Yeah.Lisa Randall Into my 110s or whatever we'reMischa Zvegintzov gonna call Yeah,Lisa Randall so we'll getMischa Zvegintzov there. Like, what's the thing inside of that person? That's like maybe I've lost too much memory to do this program? Or what what's that thing that internal thing that keeps that you see keeping people from diving into something that can clearly help them?Lisa Randall Yeah, I think that yeah, you I think you hit the nail on the head. It's too late for me. That ship has sailed. I'm already losing my memory. What's the point? Old people lose their memory. It's a foregone conclusion. The there, the self fulfilling prophecy is definitely something that cuts people off from wanting to do the program, or? Yeah, I guess, I guess that would be that would be my answer to that.Mischa Zvegintzov And what would you say to that person like, like, you've got this person who's in let's say, they're 65 or 70. And they've, they're there. They're like, it's too late. Why, why, why? Why start now?Lisa Randall I would tell them that, that all of neuroscience contradicts their belief that memory loss is inevitable, and, and that the concept that as I age, I will then lose my memory and forget is one that we buy into. It is not based on science, the brain is plastic, the brain never stops. It never loses its ability to generate new neural connections.Lisa Randall We... if ah... let me give you an example. So in our 30s, if we walk into a room and we forget why we walked into a room, we probably laugh and think, Oh, I forgot why I walked into the room, and we carry on with our day. If we're in our 70s. And we walk into a room and we forget why we walked into a room, we think oh my god, I'm getting Alzheimer's disease. And our cortisol level goes through the roof. And now we're stressed out, which is the kryptonite format, right literally erodes the hippocampus in the brain. And we have now planted the seed in our mind so that the next time that we have a mental lapse that we may have experienced in our 20s 30s 40s, we have now assigned an entirely new meaning to it. We've given it the power to tell us that yes, it's another sign that my memory is going.Lisa Randall I heard something so good the other day, and it said, hey, you know, when you can't find your keys, you shouldn't worry about dementia, when you forget what your keys are for, then it's time to start. And I thought that was so perfect, because (oh my god), we will we will, we will just have whatever no big deal when we're young, because it's no big deal.Lisa Randall But when we're older, it stops being no big deal because we're afraid. And with that fear, we put ourselves we put ourselves on a track of, of narrowing the way we think of eliminating new experiences of allowing our brain to fall into these well worn pathways that limit its physiological ability to continue to, to grow and expand and learn.Lisa Randall We never are too old to stop changing our brain ever. And so I would point people to science, there's way too much science. We simply have bought into a concept that's that scientifically unfounded.Mischa Zvegintzov So can I can I speak to that really quick? So if what I'm hearing you say like the Memory Alive program... will help you... It's going to help you with your memory, but also reduce cortisol levels, all this sort of stuff, perhaps I don't want to speak too much to it. But I'm just I'm just thinking like, okay, the idea that that it's too late, or... that's all BS, right? I'd love that. Thank you for answering that. And I'm also going to say you probably being you have your master's and all this stuff, like you've got the paperwork to prove it. You've done this study, you've worked in the business, you've created classes, you've been doing this for how long in your life?Lisa Randall 15 years, probably I said working it generally speaking in that field.Mischa Zvegintzov Okay. And so you probably have studies that verify what you're talking about, like if I said, Hey, well prove it. You could say, Okay, give me 20 minutes, I'll be right back. And you could go through all your stuff and be like, here's, here's all the science data to validate what I just am telling you. Yes.Lisa Randall Absolutely. And and the reason I know this is that people like you know, Deepak Chopra who've written books about the brain point to all of the science and so you know, I read a ton of books. and I've pointed to these these facts and these concepts in the science through through neurologists and through physicians and through through PhDs in multiple multiple reading. So absolutely, simply through a list of books that I can recommend folks to that they could read and have this information validated.Mischa Zvegintzov Fantastic. Well, thank you for so much for that. So, so So what what's what's the pushback that somebody that would clearly benefit from this from this class? From your techniques your system? Like, okay, so they're like, alright, I get it, like, this illusion that it's too late that my brain can't work anymore. And it's gonna degrade as I get older. That's all BS, like, great. So they're, they're like, Yeah, this is awesome. I see. It can help me like, what's, what's what, what? From someone who's in that position? What's that? What's that? What's the thing that's like, I'm trying to think of how to say this. Like, what's key? Is it their kids that are like, no, don't do it? Because you're going to be spending my inheritance or what's that? What? Like, why else? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, are they like, well, people, my family is going to look at me like, I'm dumb or like, what? What's the thing that keeps people from like diving in?Lisa Randall Well, and I think that the answer to that question is the answer to the the same question. Why when people know, exercise is good for them? Why don't they do it every day? If people know that eating well is gonna change their life for the better? Why don't they just do it? Right? Why is it hard for us as humans, to change our behavior, and I think it's much less a resistance that's born of an attitude and more of a resistance that's born of it's a difficult, it's difficult to change our behavior, behavior change is difficult. And it's because we're hardwired, how we operate in our minds, and, and changing how we do things, especially the longer we've been on this planet. It's hard. It's, it's altering our ideas, being open minded about trying new things is challenging, and simply changinga routine of our daily life is hard as well.Mischa Zvegintzov Yeah. Okay. Fair enough. So it's like, it's like, I don't have the time. Or, or I, my lifestyle won't afford this.Lisa Randall Or I want to, I want to make the change, but maybe not today. Or maybe it's not the right time for me, or, you know, the same if someone's wanting to learn a new language or instrument their whole life continues to put it off, because there's going to be a better time. I don't think this is answering your question super specifically. But I think it has a lot more to do with the human challenge around a change in behavior than it does with a specific resistance to this content or this information. I think it's like, why is it so hard, I workout twice, and then I don't want to go to the gym again, the next day, even though they feel so good. It's the same concept. It's just different.Mischa Zvegintzov Yeah, fair enough. Fair enough. What's your favorite? What's your favorite before and after? Of a person that's gone into your...through your program?Lisa Randall I think that, you know, I have a couple of, you know, a couple scenarios that are coming to my mind. But I think that specific feedback that I've gotten from some of my longer term, students and participants has been that ofLisa Randall ...the reflection on how much more they're enjoying the moments that they are creating, how much more they are focused on creating memories that they want to keep. And that's that's been the those are the moments that give me the chills where I think that's is that is it, because who cares if we can remember a bunch of shitty moments strung together right? But if we are focused on being present, and being aware and really valuing the creation of beautiful memories, that's it. What could be better than that? That is that's what I have loved.Mischa Zvegintzov It's beautiful. Do a couple people come to mind for you that where you've seen that.Lisa Randall A couple people have come to my mind where you know they've come back and reflected on hey, you know, I I had this experience with my grandkids and I was you know, usually I come into it worried about this or concerned about that,... but I did my breathing exercises before, and I knew I wanted to remember this, I knew I wanted to remember this moment. And I, you know, I, I knew that if I wanted to, to be able to hold on to these memories, these are the things that I did. And I came into it with a heart full of gratitude.Lisa Randall Because we talk about the emotional state and how the emotional state helps us remember, So not only are you coming into circumstances and situations, paying attention with a heart full of love, so that cognitively you can remember, you are coming into it fully present with a heart full of love, you're going to have a beautiful experience. And even if you don't remember it, oh, well, you had a beautiful experience of that. I mean, for me, that's what matters, why, uh, you know, even if we don't remember it in the long term if we forget the person's name, but we remember how we felt when we met them, um, really what matters. Lisa Randall but but these concepts, these components that fill up our "right now" with beauty, those are the same concepts and components that allow our brains to most effectively encode and recall information when we want it.Mischa Zvegintzov It's beautiful. Thank you. Yeah. I want to ask you a question. If I may, another, of course. Good. Cool. So we've got integrative memory, people can go to your site, integrative memory right now, what you have to offer currently is live classrooms, online class, what are you doing? I mean, briefly, butLisa Randall live classes, online classes, I teach several classes a week over zoom. And I have several workbooks that are in progress to support those. I also have a YouTube channel that has a series of meditations for memory of that library of resources online is one that I am hoping to get strategic about in expanding as well.Mischa Zvegintzov Fantastic. Where can people find these meditations on your YouTube channel? It's free for them right now.Lisa Randall It's free for them. Yes. If you just look up and integrative memory on YouTube, it will pop up.Mischa Zvegintzov Fantastic. I will put that link in the show notes. So today your offer is somebody can if someone's like, oh my god, Lisa, I want what you have to offer. They go to integrative memory, they sign up for a class and they get what they get a class for $50? Or what what are they getting right now?Lisa Randall Well, right now I offer I offer an online community class that is donation based. So if they wanted to get a taste of this every Thursday at two, I teach an online community class and that's, that's free to the public, it's donation based. and that's a great way to get started and to get a taste of what I do offer on a regular basis. And so that's where I would send people to start and I would love them to email me directly because I would love to I do offer 30 minute consultations for anyone who's interested in what I do or learning more, and I would I think that would be the best place to start. So then you know, we could have a one on one conversation and I can understand what more specifically they're looking for.Mischa Zvegintzov Fantastic so best email which I will put in the show notesLisa Randall would be Lisa at chunky seahorse.comMischa Zvegintzov Lisa at chunky seahorse.com love it and there's a whole story behind chunky seahorse which is actually rather amazing but we'll save it for another day just trust that typing in chunky seahorse Lisa at Chuck is actually...Lisa Randall adaquateMischa Zvegintzov ...(LOL) but yeah well not only added but affirmation of all that you're creating and have created up to this point. If they want to see if they want to go to your if they want to go to your Thursday at two Pacific Standard Time. Community zoom class. Where do they do that?Lisa Randall Email me yep, I have a newsletter sign up as well on my website. So I have a general newsletter and then one that is focused on mealtimes for memory as well. And then also meditations for memory and that can be subscribed to on my website. but the the Zoom link for my for my Thursday 2pm class if they send me an email I will just respond with the Zoom link for that class.Mischa Zvegintzov Fantastic that's how we're gonna make all this happen. I love it. So excited. And then I'm gonna end with this and we're gonna let you get on to your day cuz I know you've got lots to do. Um, this is like a standing document for you and I. write? to be like, Alright, Let's grow together, let's help Lisa you know, grow, bring her gifts, your your, your, your Memory Alive program like let's let's let's, let's apply some entrepreneurial spirit to it even more. and grow it. and evergreen it. and all these terms and and help you create, like financial independence for you and your family and just really help a lot of people right?Mischa Zvegintzov And then it's an opportunity for me to be like, Yeah, I have some ideas, some methods that you and I are going to work together with. And this is our beginning document where you and I can look back at this and go "wow, how far each of us..." Right. Wow, wow. So we're both being very vulnerable for the masses right now. We both have a lot to offer and and I look forward to helping you grow, scale, refine, you know, your story, your message your offer all this stuff and, and very excited.Lisa Randall I'm super excited as well. Thank you.Mischa Zvegintzov Yes, fantastic. Is there anything that we missed that you want to add?Lisa Randall I think you are such a thorough interviewer. I think that we've probably hit a hit all of those those key components. No, but thank you very much for taking the time and I'm really excited about trying to scale and expand.Mischa Zvegintzov Fantastic. Lisa, I love you. Thank you so much for coming on and sharing what you do and everybody check, check back with us. check back in with us as we grow and we will be talking to Lisa throughout her journey and just watching you do all the fun stuff. Yes.Lisa Randall Awesome. Thank you so much. Mischa. This is so fun.Mischa Zvegintzov Okay, love you. I'm going to hit stop. We'll say a quick goodbye. And we'll go on with the day. Okay.

I answer my friends question, “What is a recent miracle in your life?”. With successful people who do things or perhaps are in a place that I want to be, I can be contemptuous or resentful. What's up with that? The idea of if you spot it you got it, but on the GOOD THINGS you see in people, is driven home to me.

What was the miracle in my life, almost cut my hair off the other day, I was having massive insecurity coming out of the out of the Funnel Hacking Live, and ways that I'd communicated my experience. I was like, oh my god, I was way to vulnerable, get your hair off. I don't know if you have those moments. But I survived. And obviously, my hair is still in full effect. So that's not the maybe that is a miracle. But that wasn't the miracle. When I was at Funnel Hacking Live, lots of the, you know, there was, it was four days, and I believe there was five or six speakers each day and all very powerful speakers. And there was 5000 people, 6000 people at the sold out conference, two to 3000 in person two to 3000 live. I don't know the exact numbers, but lots of solid energy, lots of amazing heart centered, entrepreneurial messages being shared lots of vulnerability. And then many of the speakers, you know, would do some, they wouldn't call them meditation techniques, but they would lead some, you know, some positive affirmations, or they would even call it that they'd, but like meditation.Mischa Zvegintzov 01:27 So Tony Robbins was the last speaker. And that was Saturday night. And I've never seen Tony Robbins live and by the grace of God, I, by this point in my life right now, set aside my contempt for the Tony Robbins that I'd never even really seen or known. But like, I was like, God, damn, this dude's helped millions of people like it started hitting me. A year or two ago, I was like, where's this weird, like, for successful people who do things that perhaps are in a place that I want to be? I can be, you know, contemptuous or resentful or whatever. But so anyway, I'm like, Oh, shit, I can see Tony Robbins, you know, live. And being part of the 2CCX, which is the coaching program within all this, we got priority seating. So I was right up in front, and he's leading this amazing meditation. And that this whole thing is just this whole event for days is very well crafted to break down barriers to build energy to, to help you go within to help you, you know. Yeah, just internal barriers, external barriers. Tons of inspiration. Everybody's an open book, or most people, you know, super successful people there are milling about with you. So like, one minute, you can literally be like, oh, there's Tony Robbins. Hey, Tony Robbins, how you doing? Go? Hey, great. I'm just on my way walking to lunch. And you're like, Oh, shit. Well, nice to meet you. Yeah, nice to meet you. Or it's one guy. Obvious couple guys. Like, whatever. There's pretty powerful experience.Mischa Zvegintzov 03:14 But Tony's meditation was...Tony's thing that he led after... towards the end, and we are all frothy. Pumped up, man. Tony is really good at what he does, right? He's one of the best in the world, let's be real. And so he does this thing. This like meditation and super out of body experience. Right? It could have been like, 45 minutes or five minutes, I don't know. But part of it was... pull out... pull out a recent, a recent moment that you're grateful for in your life, you know. And then All right, put that in your heart and lalala and all this stuff to really internalize it. Great. And then, Alright, now let's go. Let's go find another leasing moment, or great moment that you're grateful for, you'll have Okay, now, you know, put that into your heart and, and feel it and and imagine that you're there. And it's happening again right now. Right and, and some other things around that. But those were the two most poignant things for me, because with my boys. One was when Waylon graduated high school a few months ago. I don't know if you saw that picture on the social media whereas his arms were were raised in victory because he had graduated from... Thank you again for listening Lisa Randall. From graduating and he had just spontaneously erupted. And the crowd reacted to you know, the audience of parents and kids and You know....Mischa Zvegintzov 05:01 It just was a very inspired moment. I just as like I saw at that time, I'd heard a message from a lady that I'd interviewed on my podcast or Lena Allen, you can check it out, go to the get Bitch Slap podcast. And she's like, interview number 20 something. But Arlene Allen and our Lena, you know, you might not even need to do avocado toast after this because you're, you're getting all the information. Or Lena was like, Hey, we were talking about how I'm all in on the fact of if you spot it, you got it. Right. And I tend to look at that towards the negative. She's like, well, what if you spot it, you got it on the good stuff on the beauty or the or the good thing to see and people. And like, in that moment, the world like shifted and rotated before my eyes. Like no shit. I was like, Oh my God. Like, wait a minute. That's amazing. And so I was really internalizing that idea that thought. And then Waylon Just frickin erupts spontaneously when the principal hands him the diploma in front of the crowd and just it... I was like, Oh, my God, like, how amazing is Waylon and his outgoing attitude and his shining light. And I was like, Wait a minute. Like, that's part of me. Right? And that just because he's my son because I spotted it. I got it right.Mischa Zvegintzov 06:43 And so So where was I? Sorry, shiny objects with dogs walking by. So that's a powerful moment for me. And that was a moment of gratitude that I was thinking of when Tony Robbins was asking us to think those moments. When I was just so happy and proud for Waylon and just saw him as a shining light out there and just was like, Oh my God, he's such a, you know, I was proud and just all that stuff, right. Like, massive gratitude moment for me. So I'm hugging that close to my heart and feeling it and just loving it.Mischa Zvegintzov 07:25 And then the other one was Cooper just the other day, maybe a week or so ago. Waylon was buying a new iPhone. And I was like, "Yeah, I'll help you". I'll throw you a couple hundred and fifty bucks, you know, to towards your iPhone purchase. And so I was like, You know what? I'm gonna offer coops 250 bucks so say Coops I texted him. Hey, man. I was gonna throw you a cut 250 bucks you got? Is there anything that you need? Like, I'll give you a couple couple hundred bucks. And he's like, Yeah, I have this outstanding. Dr. bills like $300 because I have this outstanding Dr. Bill. It's $300. And I was like, done. Oh, I'm transferring you $300 right now. Transferred it over. And he erupted in gratitude. This is all via text. Right? He's like, Oh my God, that's so amazing. And we got to have breakfast and bla bla bla bla bla and was just super fired up. And this was a couple of weeks ago. And I've been trying to be more generous with Coops with no strings attached and trusting that like oftentimes with Cooper, for whatever reason, I can be more of like, I'm gonna give this to you. But I need to know. Here's the strings. Here's the attachment. Where this was just spontaneous. Here's some cash. Go by freakin Sour Patch Kids, I don't give a shit. Like but he, he reacted so powerfully. And then he had a great breakfast and it was just like this catalyst for for me for some really cool moments just me trying to make some changes in my life and how I react to Cooper and the payoff was awesome.Mischa Zvegintzov 09:14 So that was the thing that I was hugging into my heart. When Tony Robbins was having us do this exercise, and everybody's throbbing and we're all eyes are closed and he's like, okay. And then, you know, visualizing amazing stuff moving forward and live and all this stuff, just all this visualizing. And he's so good at it because he's been doing it for 40 years. That I was freaking glowing. So then it gets done. And he goes, Okay, pick two people. So people, three people together. Thank you for listening to this, but you asked, and I can talk. So thank you. If you Make it if you're making it this far. Again, you're probably on by three speed and if purchased to the Marco Polo Pro, so you can speed this up. But so, two of the people that I had befriended and that were a part of my coaching group, and then James Mays, and Rick Hayhurst. Rick Hayhurst was on my Summit. And James Mays owns a music school, and I'm not sure if you saw the movie School of Rock, or if you've seen the School of Rock Schools, like, all that stuff was started based on him and what he's done and created. So James is super amazing. And, and, sorry, I'm trying to cross the street. And why start a new bit when we can just drag this one out a little bit longer. So circle up with your team, your three people and tell some tell them... you know... What I heard Tony say was "tell them the things you're grateful for".Mischa Zvegintzov 11:13 And, and so I got to go first. They go, "you go first Mischa". And I go, "okay". And I started to talk. And I just started sobbing. I just started sobbing. Like crying and crying. And and was like, trying, I was like, "my boys and and Cooper" and I'm sobbing, and just... I didn't stop it. So A) How awesome is that? Two men. And I'm just, like, "fuck it, I'm going to be vulnerable". And I just started bawling. So whatever I ball for, I don't know how long. And I finally compose myself enough to be like, this is the Cooper moment that I'm grateful for. And I say it in detail as I'm crying with joy. And then I say the wailing moment has cried with joy. And in that moment, if you've made it this far, here's the miracle. Just as a divorced parent, I don't know if you have any of this, Lisa. But there's some guilt towards the kids for me. And there was it was like, Man, am I doing it? Right? If I done good enough, will I ever not have regrets about how I was as a father when I was working? And the marriage, you know? And then like, post divorce and ah... And it just was like, "your, your, your relationships with your boys are healed". Loud and clear. Loud and clear Lisa Randall. And and what a moment. What a moment. And that is a full miracle. Like to have that. Feel that to your core and internalized. And as I tell you this story, I know it to be true.Mischa Zvegintzov 13:41 Wow, that doesn't mean we won't scrap moving forward or that my boys won't have rough times or not do things that about do things I don't want them to do or I might yell or whatever. But it's like... we are all where we're supposed to be. So. There's the miracle. Love you if you made it this far. Thanks for listening. Suppose we were on the docket for Friday for avocado toast.Mischa Zvegintzov 14:10 Okay,
First, I just about walk out of the house with my shorts on backwards, which reminds me of my home mortgage days. And I see the parallels between The Funnel Hacking Live 2021 and the Wells Fargo Home Mortgage top producer sales conferences. You can talk to the high performers and learn how it's done. The energy is next level. And everyone is very open.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!

As I was getting ready to walk out the door to go for my inspirational walk. My walks that are deriving so much inspiration for me right now. And the darn phone wouldn't go in my pocket. And I realized because I put my shorts on backwards. Which is just the funniest damn thing. If I hadn't been tried to put my phone in my pocket, I would have walked out the door with my shorts on backwards. Which totally reminded me of a funny moment, back in my mortgage banking days when I was a home loan officer, and working so hard, and grinding, grinding away. And that's not the complete point of this podcast, it's just a really funny story of this episode. The what I'm going to talk about is how, as my friend Lisa Randall likes to say, the information that I was downloading. The inspiration that's been flowing through for me, or through me, or to me, coming out of the Funnel, Hacking Live 2021. How that's coalescing and, and answers are coming clear. And, and a lot of that is a function of patience. Like being being patient, let it come together. So the inspiration was absolutely pure. Just the final answer was not landing what I wanted when I wanted to. So I'll talk a little bit more about that. Anyway, back to the story of walking out the door with my shorts on backwards. So I tried to put the phone in the pocket doesn't happen. And I realized, you know, how, if you put something on your T shirt on the inside out or something, you put something on wrong, may not notice it in the first moment, but but then you're like, oh my god, that is on backwards. So my shorts I said gosh, they are uncomfortable. It's funny, I didn't notice that. So back in the home loan days, especially when I was relatively new, and I was just working hard. Because I had a new baby Cooper Lee, who was you know, a year old, basically, when I started in the business and had my wife, Dawn, the boy's mom. And so I actually started having success fairly quickly. You know, 2000, my first year, I think I made $60,000 or something like that. But then, after that, it was just it was you know, a couple 100,000 year two, I think. And you know, so year two year three on, I was just and I put in the hours, I was dedicated to the craft, learning, learning the craft, getting better at the craft. Whenever I had the opportunity, I would talk to high performing mortgage loan officers and pick their brain. How do you do it? You know, who's your market, what's your niche, all these things? And oftentimes, I wouldn't ask what the niche was, but they would tell me "here's my niche, find your niche focus on it". This is actually really funny because when I was at the Funnel Hacking Live, I saw the parallels between Funnel Hacking Live and the sales conference that I would go to at Wells Fargo home mortgage. So somewhere along the line fairly quickly, I you know, maybe my third or fourth year I probably fourth or fifth year. I made it to the sales conference, the annual Wells Fargo home mortgage sales conference where they you know, send you somewhere super fun for a week.Mischa Zvegintzov 04:52And so like if we end up in Mexico one year or some other country another year. Elton John. They hired Elton John one year. So I was like, at the stage listening, you know, to Elton John, or who else did we have? Beach Boy. I think Brian Wilson, they brought him in as the Beach Boys, but he was the only one left. So it was constantly joking Beach Boy. The Eagles one year How fun is that? This was all in the 2000s. Beach Boy. The eagles who was the other one? Oh, I remember this the year that that the Patriots went 16 and 0, and made it to the Super Bowl. And I think we were on a cruise. So that was the cruise year. And they brought in who's the guy? Was it Margaritaville? It was like James Taylor. That's who it was James Taylor. I was so disappointed. James Taylor. Like the rumors were circulating that it was going to be the Stones or Aerosmith or you know, a rollicking good time band. And it was James Taylor wha wha wha. Anyhow. I worked my butt off to the mortgage industry. I really did. And this one day, I got to lunch with Gary, who was my assistant. He's a great man. salt of the earth. Dude, old school dude. Gary, I can't remember his last name. But Gary was my assistant for a number of years and smoked cigarettes. Like he take his cigarette breaks and all this and funny guy. So anyway, we're out to lunch. I looked down. And I've got a black work shoe on like a black dress shoe, and a brown dress on at lunch. So I probably started work at seven or eight that morning. Noon, we're out to lunch. And I looked down. And I'm like, wait a minute. I've got different colored shoes on and the different styles to it was like, oh my god, I literally had been working the whole day, walking around, ordered lunch and did not figure it out. Until I sat down. And I remember I was really tired that day. I was just working so hard and so focused on what I was doing that that I totally missed that I'd even that I'd had my shoes on wrong. Anyway, I can't remember what I did from there. I may have run home to fix it because it was like I'm a freak show right now. Or what have you I might have just finished out today with different shoes on. But I'll button up this nice little episode. The way this shaped up. Riches are in the niches. I hear that a lot. So at the sales conferences, I would just pick the brains of a top producers. Be like What are you doing? How do you do it? So, you know, I just get a lot of fundamental, basic, good information. And feeding off that energy. And getting to know people and getting encouraged. And, you know, yeah, the networking, on and on and on. And new ideas, right, you're getting new ideas. People are very forthcoming with the information too, which is awesome. Everybody's so confident in what they do. They're like, here's my niche, here's how I do it. Here's this, this is how I do it. Here's my secrets and and that isn't an awesome environment to be in. And so I found the same thing at Funnel Hacking Live I was having the same experience.Mischa Zvegintzov 09:17I was like, this is just like a Wells Fargo home mortgage sales conference for all the top producers or any company's sales conference for the top producers. Except in the funnel, hacking community world, we get to pay to go which is good I think pay to play is awesome because it shows a certain level of commitment and accountability and willingness. But the basic structure is the same. You've got the award night you've got all the amazing speakers. The it's a chance to interact with the top people in the Funnel Hacking Online entrepreneurial game and everyone is super open and forthcoming with what they're up to what they do. So funny I noticed if they feel like you're, you're in effect wasting their time they will shut you down and move on. Which is really funny I think... car just went by not noticing a human so good I'm still alive. Anyway I could go on and on in this episode I will not I will stop and have a great day. Love to all gosh, I feel like it's a lie. I'm not stopping obviously. Yeah, I'm done. That's it. Peace out. Rough ending

You've been privy to much of the banter between Lisa and I via this podcast… So I went ahead and give her the complete update here :). It strikes me as kind of weird all of a sudden. But in the spirit of “I recorded it so it gets published” here you go.Episode notes:Checking in with my friend Lisa Randall. 25 invites out. 1 yes, some maybes, and some no's. It's like high school dating. Still fully committed to the Course In Miracles. Currently very much about letting go of the attachment of the idea of sin, guilt, death, and vengeance. Those are they obstacles to peace. They are the veil to peace. The fear of death… It's so hidden so deep in so many of us and we don't even acknowledge it. And I love that thought… Thinking of it in terms of what it was like, what happened, and what it's like now… What it is like now is I contemplate the idea of death, the illusion of death, the fear of death and all these things. Is it buried so deep that it isn't even acknowledged. I recap the jogging fan story…Waylon graduates from high school in a month and a half… That's a big reminder of the eternal change of life for me. Now both kids will be out of high school. It's a marker per divorce paperwork for a lot of official responsibilities ending. The man freedom that I thought that was gonna come from this day is an illusion. And I said hi to a girl :). That's a big development for me :).Life is good I'm having fun… Messy action.Start podcasting!

El secreto es un libro escrito por Rhonda Byrne, que promueve la denominada ley de la atracción, una teoría formulada por el ocultista estadounidense William Walker Atkinson, pionero de la secta New Thought —Nuevo Pensamiento—. Fue publicado en 2006, poco después del lanzamiento en DVD de la película homónima, El secreto. Tras ser presentado en dos episodios de The Oprah Winfrey Show, el libro alcanzó la categoría de superventas. La obra alcanzó así mismo un alto nivel de notoriedad y crítica por parte de aquellos que adujeron que se engañaba a los lectores asegurando que el pensamiento positivo por sí solo es capaz de influir la vida real. 1?No existe evidencia científica que demuestre la influencia del pensamiento positivo por sí solo en la realidad, si bien la utilidad del mismo es absolutamente aceptada por los psicólogos, siempre que esté acompañada de procedimientos y acciones en pro de un objetivo, es decir, como complemento para potenciar el éxito. Rhonda Byrne escribió una continuación de El secreto titulada El poder, lanzada el 17 de agosto de 2010, e inspirada en cientos de consultas recibidas de lectores del primer libro. En 2012 lanza su tercera obra, «La magia» en la que aboga por el uso del agradecimiento como una herramienta poderosa para aplicar con la ley de la atracción.El libro postula que la ley de la atracción es una ley natural que determina el orden completo del universo y de nuestras vidas personales.El libro comienza introduciendo y explicando los mecanismos de la ley de la atracción, y luego describe ejemplos históricos de su aplicación incluyendo personajes históricos que supuestamente se beneficiaron con su aplicación. Se destacan la gratitud y la visualización como los dos procesos más poderosos para ayudar a hacer que los deseos se manifiesten. La autora ofrece varias técnicas para el proceso de visualización, así como ejemplos de personas que se dice que la han utilizado con éxito para lograr que sus sueños se manifiesten. En sucesivos capìtulos la autora describe cómo usar la ley de atracción en las áreas de riqueza, relaciones humanas y salud. Finalmente se incluye una perspectiva espiritual sobre la ley de la atracción, y su relación con la propia vida y el mundo.Las afirmaciones hechas por el libro y la película son altamente polémicas, y han sido criticadas por los revisores y lectores. El libro también ha sido duramente criticado por ex creyentes y practicantes, con algunos afirmando que El secreto fue concebido por el autor y que las únicas personas que generan riqueza y felicidad de él son el autor y los editores. El historiador y ético John G. Stackhouse, Jr. ha proporcionado un contexto histórico para The Secret. Lo ubica críticamente en la tradición del Nuevo Pensamiento Americano, la filosofía de la "mente sobre la materia" y la religión popular, llamándola "nada nuevo".Algunos críticos dicen que El secreto ofrece una falsa esperanza a aquellos que realmente necesitan asistencia más convencional en sus vidas. Por ejemplo, en 2007, Barbara Ehrenreich, autor y crítica social, ridiculizó el consejo de control de peso del libro para "no observar" a las personas con sobrepeso [1] Leyes universales. En 2009, Ehrenreich publicó Bright-Sided: Cómo la promoción implacable del pensamiento positivo ha socavado América como respuesta a los libros del "pensamiento positivo", tales como El secreto, que enseñan que "si apenas cambie mis pensamientos, podría tener todo". Le preocupaba que esto fuera delirante o incluso peligroso, porque evitaba lidiar con las fuentes reales de problemas. Dijo que tal pensamiento alentaba "la culpa de las víctimas, la complacencia política y una huida cultural del realismo", a través de su sugerencia de que el fracaso fue el resultado de no haber intentado "lo suficientemente duro" o creer "firmemente en la inevitabilidad de su éxito", y que aquellos que estaban "decepcionados, resentidos o abatidos" eran "víctimas o perdedores". Ehrenreich abogó por "no pensamiento negativo o desesperación", sino "realismo, revisar lo que realmente está ahí y averiguar cómo cambiarlo". De acuerdo con los Dispatches de Religión, Byrne argumentó que los desastres naturales golpean a los "en la misma frecuencia que el evento" e implicó que las víctimas del tsunami de 2006 podrían haberse salvado. En el podcast de Adam Carolla, el Dr. Drew dijo que El secreto promovió el "pensamiento primitivo" como un reemplazo para realmente ganar estima.En una crítica de 2010, The New York Times afirmó: The Power y The Secret están llenos de referencias a los imanes, la energía y la mecánica cuántica, este último es un regalo muerto: cada vez que oye a alguien apelar a la física impenetrable para explicar el funcionamiento de la mente, huir-ya tenemos disciplinas llamadas "psicología" y "neurociencia" para hacer frente a esas preguntas. El asalto de jerga pseudocientífica de Byrne sirve sobre todo para establecer una "ilusión de conocimiento", tendencia a creer que entendemos algo mucho mejor de lo que realmente hacemos ". El libro ha sido criticado por sus interpretaciones de la física cuántica. Lisa Randall ha declarado que es "inquietante" que Byrne afirmó haber "nunca estudiado física o ciencia en la escuela, y sin embargo cuando (Byrne) leyó complejos libros sobre física cuántica (Byrne) los entendió perfectamente porque (Byrne) quería entenderlos". Mary Carmichael y Ben Radford han afirmado que el libro tiene "una apariencia de precisión científica [...] El problema es que ni la película ni el libro tienen ninguna base en la realidad científica".
Dr. Jonathan Lunine is the David C. Duncan Professor in the Physical Science and chair of the Department of Astronomy at Cornell University. He is also the vice president and a co-founder of the Society of Catholic Scientists. Here is information about the Vatican Observatory. It was one of the starting points for Lunine’s exploration of the compatibility between science and the Catholic faith. He met Stephen Barr in 2014, and this led to their discussions about establishing the Society of Catholic Scientists. Here is a talk given by Barr at the University of Chicago. Here is a talk by Lunine about Georges Lemaitre, a Catholic priest recognized as an originator of the Big Bang theory. In our conversation, Lunine described a presentation on Lemaitre that he gave at Cornell as a kind of “coming-out party” for him as a Catholic convert with his own story to tell. He has addressed Catholic students with the advice to share one’s faith story but to be judicious, following the practice of St. Paul, who adapted his messages to his audiences. A recommendation for discussions of faith: “There’s a time and a place for everything.” Lunine mentioned Elaine Ecklund, who has studied what scientists think about the American culture’s understanding that science and religion are incompatible. Harvard physicist Lisa Randall, who has said belief in God is incompatible with science, is an example of the resistance to faith that many scientists encounter in academia, Lunine said. Our culture gives much credibility to scientists, who owe it to their audiences to be clear about when they are speaking as individuals rather than scholarly experts. Lunine also mentioned the Thomistic Institute, which has a chapter on the Cornell campus founded by a graduate student. Part of the difficulty in the dialogue between science and religion is a popular but erroneous view that the Bible was intended to be a book of science. Here is a discussion of St. Augustine’s examination of this claim. Another challenge, Lunine said, is that our children generally grow up without a substantive education in religion.

Gobble, Gobble. Happy Thanksgiving to our American listeners! Today we are talking about Thanksgiving slasher BLOOD RAGE starring Mark Soper, Louise Lasser, Julie Gordon and Lisa Randall. This movie features some pretty memorable performances, great effects and a hefty dose of quirkiness. We chat about the movie, Christopher talks a little about production and then Mitch workshops his Thanksgiving slasher, ‘The Carver’!
As moviegoers were mesmerized by the futuristic stories in Christopher Nolan's science fiction film Interstellar, Harvard University's theoretical physicist Lisa Randall says the high-grossing movie - even though "technically accurate" - failed to illustrate the type of extra dimensions she tries to picture in her own mind. "They have to make it [the fifth dimension] visible to people looking at the screen, which means that some of the subtle effects - that are on scales that you'd never be able to see with your naked eyes, won't be shown in the movie," Randall explains in a recent interview with China Money Network in Hong Kong during her trip in Asia. But as the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University with research interests in elementary particles, fundamental forces and extra dimensions of space, Randall appreciated how the movie inspired people's interests in science. That inspiration is critical in pushing scientific research forward, she believes. Outside of sci-fi movies, what China has done in practical measures is "inspirational" too, and could be "ground-breaking", Randall says. For example, China's ambitious plan in building the world's most powerful particle collider will produce something twice the size and seven times as powerful as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The planned particle collider, namely China Electron Positron Collider (CEPC), is a long-term project first proposed by the Chinese high energy physics community in 2012. It is a facility used to measure the precise properties of the Higgs boson, or the so-called "God particle", which is regarded as a crucial link that could explain why other elementary particles have mass. Scientists in China have released details for the collider, saying it will produce over one million Higgs bosons in a seven-year period. The project is expected to start construction in 2021 and be completed in 2027, and then put into operation one year after. "Just the idea that it might exist [in China in the future] already has been an incentive for many people to come here," said Randall. "The prospect of having this collider has brought a lot of American physicist who I know – I mean, maybe other countries as well – to China." Concerning the overall research environment in China, Randall says her main concern lays in the "hierarchical system" that she has observed. "It seems like it's an environment where there's one person who gets a lot of resources and people have to accommodate that," she says. Instead of focusing funding a few great scientists and let them have the right to determine everything, Randall believes that China should spread resources more widely, so that the young generation can be more independent and have a chance to lead new innovations. Lisa Randall is an American theoretical physicist working in particle physics and cosmology at Harvard University. Her research connects theoretical insights to puzzles in the current understanding of the properties and interactions of matter. She has developed and studied a wide variety of models to address these questions, most prominently involving extra dimensions of space. Read an interview Q&A below.

Q: If you look at the global top 20 best universities to study physics, twelve are American universities and only one university is from China, which is Tsinghua University. Why American universities are so strong in providing good physics research environment? And what should China do to improve this? A: Well, (American universities) have a longer history of doing this. I think it's only recently that China has had these very big modernization. One thing China is doing is promoting experiments and observations. There are dark matter experiments,
Dark matter is the stealthy cosmic stuff that makes up 85 percent of the universe. It helps hold galaxies together, but so far, scientists haven’t been able to detect it directly, or figure out exactly what dark matter is. Could this mysterious material have played a role in the catastrophe that wiped out the dinosaurs and most other life on Earth 66 million years ago? That’s the provocative idea at the heart of physicist Lisa Randall’s recent best-selling book, Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs. On this episode of the Sauropodcast, Dr. Randall explains what led her and several of her colleagues to finger dark matter as the culprit in one of history’s most notorious events. We’ll discuss the evidence, the implications, and the surprising connections between seemingly remote forces and phenomena in the universe and life on our small planet. Lisa Randall studies theoretical and particle physics and cosmology at Harvard University, where she is the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science. She’s a member of the National Academy of Sciences and is among Esquire Magazine’s 75 most influential people of the 21st century. If you’d like to hear Dr. Randall in person, she’ll be speaking at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History at 7 p.m. Friday, October 13, 2017, as part of our Explorer lecture series. For more details on that event, and the rest of the Explorer lineup, visit cmnh.org/explorerseries. Dr. Randall’s lecture also marks the kickoff of the Museum’s celebration of women in science, from October 2017 to April 2018. For more information about the events, visit cmnh.org/womeninscience.
“When it comes to the world around us,” Lisa Randall has written, “is there any choice but to explore?” As one of the most influential theoretical physicists working today, she’s interested in the interconnectedness between fields that have previously operated more autonomously: astronomy, biology, and paleontology. She’s pursuing a theory that “dark matter” might have created the cosmic event that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs — and hence humanity’s rise as a species. We learn what she’s discovering, as well as the human questions and takeaways her work throws into relief. This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode “Lisa Randall — Dark Matter, Dinosaurs, and Extra Dimensions.” Find more at onbeing.org.

In today's episode, world-renowned theoretical physicist Lisa Randall reveals how the Medici Effect and working in the Intersection play active roles in her mission to unravel the biggest mysteries in the universe.
Why do human beings explore? And, why are the most adventurous explorers drawn to outer space? Naturalist and astronomer David Aguilar explains why the drive for adventure fades after childhood, and how we can regain it as adults. Also, a group of physicists dig into what the universe is made of. Janna Levin, Lisa Randall, and Lawrence Krauss debate black holes, and whether they actually exist. Their conversation is led by Ira Flatow, host of Public Radio International’s Science Friday.

On today's episode, I'd like to talk about quality over quantity when it comes to the information you hear throughout your day. With literally millions of books published each year (traditionally, not even counting self-published), along with all the many articles that circulate around our social media channels, just how do we know we're actually reading high-quality information and not just product-placed marketing mediocrity? Or worse, how do we know that we're not just feeding our own confirmation bias and growing ignorant in our own little bubble? If you're like me, you love to read information: data, case studies, new theoretical research findings, tips and tricks, and so on. But we only have so much time! Unlike the world Before Google (B.G.), the problem now is not finding an answer when researching a question, but rather sifting through the abundance of information. There's just so much! The thing is, when it comes to making major life decisions like choosing a new career path, a new area of study, or embarking on a new hero's journey, what we read directly and what we listen to significantly influences where we point our feet. So, how do we know if what we're actually reading is of high quality? Here are five questions to consider whenever you dig your nose into some prose. Who is the Author? Whether you're reading a major blog syndicate like The Huffington Post, New York Times or Elephant Journal or you're reading someone's personal blog, dig into the author's background. Most of the time, all you need to do is just copy and paste the author's name into Google. You'll find that most writers for these platforms are like me (and perhaps you). They run their own media platform because they have a message they want to share and then guest-post on these larger sites to help grow their reach. In the old days, an author was merely credible depending on what college they graduated from. Now…not so much. A degree is only one source of establishing ethos (or credibility) and unfortunately a college degree doesn't mean as much anymore (even if it's Ivy League). Take a microscopic look into the reader. What did she study in school? What is her life's work? What books do they cite in their work? Just understand that every author has an inherent bias due to his own background. Where is the Source of The Information? Just like we shouldn't trust a commercial that boasts some new research study that proves this new magical healing pill (because the study was very likely funded by the same company that sells the pill), we shouldn't trust any advice we read without looking deeper into the source of information. In academia, the most credible of sources are peer-reviewed articles: articles that have been written by professionals in a field then critiqued and revised by other professionals in the field. Unfortunately, these are often very dry articles that are no more fun to read than watching paint dry. Traditionally in academia, the lowest credible source is a subjective opinion like what would be found in a personal blog. These, however, are often the most enjoyable to read because they have as much flair as Barbra Streisand on Broadway. This is where it comes down to purpose. What are you reading for? If it's for an academic article, then stick to peer-reviewed articles. If it's for personal growth or entertainment, then most often a blog with a unique voice will stand out. Is This Long Form or Short Form Content? Trust me, I understand the limits we have on our time. Most people are only able to read a few articles a day or listen to a short podcast episode on a morning run. Reading a book or listening to an entire audiobook can be daunting. Understand though that a 750 word blog post or one podcast episode will rarely dive as deep as a full-length work. Sure, you can squeeze the message in a book into one-liners, but doing so is like going swimming in a kiddie pool. It's fun to splash around, but you can't really go for a swim. Did a Company Pay for This? Many companies have jumped on the inbound marketing bandwagon to grow their business. And why not? It's a great long-term affordable marketing strategy. How it works is that a company hires writers (sometimes in-house staff, but most of the time virtual assistants through 3rd party companies) to write 2-3 articles per week, if not more. Using rich long-tail keywords, the company's goal is to land that coveted first page ranking in Google without having to spend a cent on pay-per-click (PPC) advertising. And it works…for the company. The content, however, is typically mediocre and incredibly biased. Why? Because the whole purpose behind the content is to drive users to the company website. Not all company blogs are bad, however. I've helped a number of companies build up their blogs. The better company blogs focus less on rich long-tail keywords and focus more on sharing customer stories or personal employee experiences. Is this Click Bait? When you're reading online, if you have to “click to read more” that's a volcanic red flag. Website owners do this typically for a “top ten” list or something like it. Every time a user clicks to read more, a new series of advertisements fill the screen and the company behind the website gets paid a few more dollars while your valuable time gets wasted. — We live in a beautifully connected world where anyone with a keyboard can share their story with the click of a button and we can read a personal blog (or watch a Youtube channel), pick up a copy of a major newspaper, or dive into a peer-reviewed scholarly book. We live in a world of abundant choice and it's a beautiful time to be alive. But in this world of abundance comes the art of choosing. We need to choose carefully what we listen to and read. In college and as a teacher, I've often stressed that high-quality information comes from long-form content that's backed with cited peer-reviewed research. I still believe this holds true for academic writing. Take, for example, my latest read: Lisa Randall's Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs: The Astounding Interconnectedness of the Universe. But there's certainly something beautiful in reading personal writing backed by nothing more than life's magical experiences. What about YOU? I'd love to know how you decide to take in your content information. Wishing you all a beautiful week ahead, full of love, light, and adventure. Just remember, life is a dance.
Featured Book: Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, by Lisa Randall.

Andrew Marr discusses the wonders of the universe with Lisa Randall, Richard Dawkins and the Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. The cosmologist Professor Randall looks at the how the latest developments in physics have the potential to alter radically our view of the world around us, and our place within it. Richard Dawkins explores the beauty and magic of scientific reality, from rainbows and shooting starts, to our genetic ancestors, and believes the facts far exceed the stories of ancient myth. Jonathan Sacks rejects the false dichotomy of science and religion, and argues that faith has a complementary role to play in the understanding of the human condition. Producer: Katy Hickman.
Harvard physicist Lisa Randall teamed with composer Hector Parra and visual artist Matthew Ritchie to produce an opera based on modern theoretical physics. They performed last week at the Guggenheim and this week, tell us about their experiences.
