Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Bruce

So many music fans want to be in the time capsule, jump back and be present when the music not only started, but to be a fly on the wall and absorb the scents, the colors, the sounds, the discussions, the drugs, the sex, debochery, the arguments, heartbreaks and everything just to separate the myth from the history. Miss Barbara Bacon was the 17 year old on the scene, taking it all in and living to tell all about it.    The Stooges, Ted Nugent, Mark Farner, Mc5, Bob Seger, The Who at the Holiday Inn Flint, Alice Cooper, Pete Andrews, Craig Frost, Twiggy, SRC, Michael Bruce...just a smear of the stories she has from backstage, homesteads, and hotels, to long trips, joint-sharing, bi-sexual reality, and the front row ticket to every event. Barbara has submitted Stooges and other artwork to the Michigan Rock Legends Hall of Fame and now has decided to do the ULTIMATE name drop and recall all her unreal stories. However, don't call her a groupie, she sat shotgun, witnessed and made wise decisions not to partake in the private world, while her older sister and friends reaped fringe benefits. Barbara is a walking encyclopedia of Detroit, Pontiac, Ann Arbor and the world of rock and roll, via mid to late '60s and beyond. From Mitch Ryder to Mt. Holly--these are her stories. Part one of two, coming in HOT.....now!

It is day eight of our 12 Nightmares Before Christmas. At 5:45 a.m. on May 12, 2005, Michael Ross woke up and got out of bed as usual. It was a partly cloudy morning in Somers, Connecticut, and the day would be warm and pleasant. At 6:00 a.m., Michael had oatmeal for breakfast, then watched television and read the newspaper. After reading for a while, he received communion from a Catholic priest. The day was going well—pretty typical for him, actually. He visited with family and friends in the afternoon for a few hours. The only thing unusual about Michael's dinner of turkey a la king, rice, fruit, mixed vegetables, and white bread was that it would be his last because, a few hours later, Michael Ross was executed by the state of Connecticut. It was the first execution in the state of Connecticut since Joseph “Mad Dog” Taborsky was electrocuted in 1960. Join Jen and Cam of Our True Crime Podcast on this episode entitled 'The Roadside Strangler: Michael Bruce Ross.'Thank you to our team:Written and researched by Lauretta AllenListener Discretion by Edward October from Octoberpod AMExecutive Producer Nico Vitesse of The Inky PawprintSources:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mAMXqN0Eaw (If you watch or listen to one thing on Michael Ross, watch this one.

In today's episode of Welcome To Cloudlandia, Dan and I reflect on the lost art of letter writing and how corresponding through history has helped shape our podcasting discussions across time. We speak about the meaningful routines that have guided creative minds, from the structured elegance of Victorian letters to our own cherished Sunday rituals. We also explore memory-boosting techniques like visualization and repetition, applying them to maximizing focus and managing time efficiently through life's challenges. The discussion spotlights approaches for evaluating routines that enhance well-being as work dynamics evolve, touching on parallels with societal shifts like the Great Depression. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Dean reflects on the joy of podcast recordings and the historical significance of letter-writing, drawing parallels between Victorian correspondence and modern podcasting. Dan discusses the role of structured routines in creative individuals' lives throughout history, including segmented sleep schedules influenced by lighting and caffeine. We explore the ABC questions as a tool for personal growth, helping to identify challenges that lead to immediate development when addressed. Dan compares time management to a strategic investment, emphasizing focused work sessions and revisiting effective past habits for increased productivity. We examine the impact of COVID-19 on workplace habits and the lasting effects, akin to those experienced during the Great Depression. Dean highlights the SELF acronym for personal efficiency and discusses the changes in commuting and work relationships due to the pandemic. Dan emphasizes the importance of aligning with one's natural rhythms post-retirement and the significance of consistent sleep schedules for overall well-being. We delve into the life game analogy, illustrating the impact of 'crowding out' bad habits with good ones for a harmonious existence. Dean discusses the importance of delegation and efficiency in daily routines, sharing his meal planning strategy that ensures balanced nutrition and time-saving. Dan speaks on being selective about new habits at his age, focusing only on those that will last or reinforce existing beneficial habits.

Dan: I'm Mr Jackson. Dean: You know, I look at my calendar and I get this little ding on my phone that tells me we're coming up to podcasts with Dan, and it's always this little spur of joy that comes over me and I wonder where will our adventures take us today? Dan: Yeah, it's a tough bet. Dean: I'm guessing it's going to be somewhere wonderful and I'm betting on that. Yeah, yes. Dan: Yeah, yeah. Well, you know it's a nice structure because, other than my podcast with you, sunday's not a very interesting day for me. Dean: Exactly. It's the highlight of the day and we've picked a good time. Dan: We've picked the perfect time. Dean: It kind of invisibly, you know, non-obtrusive in the day, we get the morning kind of ease into it, and then right around now is when we start thinking, okay, what are we going to do today? And here it is, and then we've got the rest of the whole day after this. Dan: You know I read the last year a history of Victorian England. So this is basically 1830s till you know 1890s and 60 years, and there are people, you know very notable leaders and you know notable for other reasons, who would write up to 30 letters a day. Yes, and have them delivered by courier if they were in the city. Dean: Yes. Dan: If in London and there were some individuals that they wrote to virtually every day and then we get a return, yeah, and so the interest, the interesting thing about it is that the stain in touch with certain people and trading ideas goes back a long time. Dean: Yes. Dan: The UK probably had the first best postal service, you know which, and they had great courier services. Since I said, yes. And so our podcast is like sending a letter, you know, and, but you don't have to wait for the response. Dean: I really like that. You know, because all the way back you think about all of that. You know the back as far as we can see, even almost. You know, every book of the New Testament in the Bible is letters. It's, you know, letters to, to. You know Paul's letters to the Ephesians or to the Colossians or to that's. It's an interesting thing. I read a great book Richard Rossi turned me on to it years ago about the daily routines of notable people, like all the way back in time, and it was very interesting to see. You know, in the 1800s and the 1700s there, whatever is kind of known about the routines of, you know, different composers or writers or artists or whatever. It is pretty, pretty similar among creative people all across the board. They would, you know, they would kind of wake up and ease into the day with some coffee and you know, reading or whatever. Then they would do some, they would do some work and then they would break for lunch and maybe go for a walk and then do their. There was almost exclusively. They all did their correspondence where it was. You know what you were just talking about. They'd get their letters and they'd write their letters and that was the equivalent of. Dan: And read their letters. And read their letters. Dean: Yeah, read their letters and then in the evening they would meet with friends and you know and not, and then read or whatever before going to bed and they were pretty much typically all in bed Pretty early. That was the routine of the thing. Because there were less dopamine, I think was harder, you had to earn dopamine back then Right, yeah, yeah, I mean, I didn't get excited. Dan: What keeps you excited? Did you also you know, when you were reading about the letter writing habit to do also come across the fact, which I found interesting, that and this obviously would be, you know, upper class people, because it required light, but that they wouldn't sleep through the night, like they wouldn't go to bed and sleep. They would have couple of sleeping periods where they'd go to bed and then they'd get up in the middle of the night and required light. So they obviously could afford candles or oil lamps, and they would. They would spend a couple hours writing and reading and then they go back to bed for their second, for their second night time, did you? Dean: come across that I did a couple of a couple of times and that was, I think, a pretty common practice back when people would kind of go to bed with the sun right and as the sun went down they would kind of not long after that go to bed. But it wasn't I don't recall it being the most common thing because a lot of these people were I don't know when that practice. Actually I'm familiar with it. I'm not sure when it was popular and when it stopped. Dan: I think you had to have light you know, generally speaking, light was hard to come by. You know, one of the things that I'm always a bit irked about when they show, you know, movies that are historical movies, you know, in other words, they're dealing with a historical period and it's, you know, it's a palace or it's a castle or something, and it's right. There's hundreds of candles, you know, like hundreds of candles or there's fires? I don't think so. I think it was pretty dark. I think it was pretty dark. I mean, the biggest thing which created nighttime you know, awake nighttime for us was probably kerosene you know, which you could have kerosene lamps and then gas lamps, you know you had gas systems and yeah, where you didn't have to individually fill the. And, as a matter of fact, we were both in London over the during the last 10 years when they were digging up the entire city to replace gas lines have been put in the 1880s and 1890s. So it was they had been in the ground for 130 years and my sense is that there is a case to be made that it was lighting and also caffeine that created sort of like a second day for people. I just talked about a second night, second sleeping night, but also the all of a sudden when you had light available or places that had light and you had caffeine, people would work. You know, into the evening people would work. I think caffeine to a certain extent created productivity. You're not well you're a coffee drinker aren't you. Dean: I am. Yeah, I have coffee in the morning. Yeah, I'd say two o'clock is the latest, but primarily it's only in the morning. Dan: Yeah, I don't have anything after noon, after 12 noon. I don't have coffee, but you were talking about the habits of famous people Coffee was a good piece of it. I have a new tool I'm creating, you know, just to get people in touch with kind of things they always do without really reflecting on it. And it's called best lifetime habits. Okay, and generally speaking, a lifetime habit is a habit where you do it pretty well every day. Dean: Yes, and I think that's. I have some of those for sure, like everybody does. Yeah, and you know there's. The thing is like. I think it was you that once said nobody looks for new habits except for the ones they are already accustomed to, right? Dan: Once we already have. Dean: And for me I've, because it's constantly the fun game, you know, of trying to systemize your. You know, systemize things, look for the best way to, you know, be get as much happiness and productivity as you can out of your days and kind of go with the flow. I've really determined that my the flow, for me it really falls into zones and I remember I had a great conversation with Ned hollow well, and you know he was saying and I've shared this with you before that you know he was saying when you think about my days, like a bobsled run and set up the bobsled track that you get in at the top and it slides and winds you through the course and you end up at the end with touching all the touch points that you want kind of thing, and otherwise we end up going through the day like a toddler and a picnic. And that is absolutely true of me and I'm sure of you. So my hybrid of that, my most recent iteration, because I'm constantly evolving it, thinking okay, this is the you know, this is the new routine here. So my, I've been looking into zones and the thing that is absolutely true always and will continue to be true, is the constant of life moving at the speed of reality, 60 minutes per hour, seven days a week, you know, 24 hours a day. That whole thing is very that's a locked in place system that we can't nothing we can do about that. We can only move through that time in in real time. And so there are certain things I look at that my I try and set up my hybrid of the bobsled run is a compromise. That is like setting up a slalom run for skiers. You know when you go you have to go through certain gates. You know you have to go around this gate to get to the thing. So my basic things are setting it up, that I like to. If I set a constant of waking up at 7am, which is a natural and normal thing for me to do, I don't think there's any reason for a human to wake up at 5am. But you are different than me and that's a total different world, right? So I wake up at 7am, I can do that effortlessly without an alarm clock and it feels good, right? Then this first zone I look at, my next like gate that I'm trying to get to is 10am is the perfect time for me to do focused you know, focus finders 50 minute focused sessions from 10 o'clock till noon, and that's a big zone for me. That if I can steer everything to that, where I am in my the spot where I'm gonna do whatever, the optimal environment for my focused work is 10 to 12 is the perfect time for that. I've. Recently I went through with Jay Virgin. I went over for dinner with Tim and Jay and you know we were talking about, you know I had her go through with me and we picked out some power meals for me from Grubhub and Uber Eats to have on rotation right. So we picked 10 meals which are delicious and wonderful and protein first sort of meals with protein and vegetables. And I found the. I've been using the pre-arranged delivery on the app where I can last night set up to deliver one of those meals at 12 o'clock so that I don't have to think about it. And at 12 o'clock I know that my first meal is arriving at noon. Then the next zone then is the afternoon, is the time for anything. Any appointments that I have or any Zoom workshops or client appointments or talking with anybody happens Tuesday, wednesday, thursday between one o'clock and six o'clock, and so that zone is reserved for any time obligations that I have for involving other people. And then six o'clock is the second time when either one of those meals arrive or I've been subscribing to a meal service called Factor 75 and they deliver these great meals that you get a weekly shipment of it. So I get seven of these meals, six of these meals, sorry delivered once a week and they're all hermetically sealed and chilled and all you have to do is warm them and they're delicious and the right calorie balance and everything like that. So it takes variation out of that process there. And then the other zone then is seven o'clock to 10 o'clock in the evening and then reading, and in shutting it down I'm in bed, basically, or on my way there, by 10 and lights out by 11. And so that routine, that zone is really the most natural thing. There's lots of ways for me to optimize within that, and I think that it really comes down to really preparing in advance for those two hour my focus sessions. I can tend to be ready to do the focus work but not know specifically what it is that I'm going to work on, so I've been really focused on using those times. To use my golf analogy a goal, optimal environment, limited distractions, fixed time frame. So I lay out my when we were talking about who, not how, in the initial stages, one of the you know, basecamp one is to who up. A thousand hours was the goal and I started really thinking about those thousand hours as capital allocation. But then realizing you can really, I can really only allocate, you know, 10, 20 maximum of those hours in a week. And so it's being more intentional with those allocations and realizing that not all the hours are equal, you know. And so realizing that the if. I focus on if I can get two or three of those focused hours in a day. That's a win for me. Oh, yeah, you know. Dan: Yeah, yeah, the I just during the last quarter and it just relates to the last point, and I've got a lot of comments on the previous points, but the last thing you said was this freeing yourself up. And so during the last quarter I am still going and it's called the ABC questions and it's I think you did this. I think you did this yes. Dean: I just got my package just arrived. Dan: Yeah, I called for Thursday yeah, yeah. Dean: And the. Dan: Zoom workshop on. Thursday, and but what was interesting about it is that these are the. What you're applying it to is what I call growth problems. Dean: Okay, and I've never, never. Dan: Used that word before, but it's a problem which, if you sell that, there's growth that immediately follows and then and then a area of your life time money. You know relationship, yeah. And so you just brainstorm and then you pick three of them and write them out, and then the first question is there any way you can solve this problem by doing nothing? Okay, and I've done about six of these and I'm going to turn it into an actual, you know, an actual tool that I use on a frequent basis. Okay, a desktop tool, and the answer is usually no, but then you immediately identify the thing that you do have to do. Okay, so, and six cracks, that would be 18 growth problems. I've never said yes, there is something I can. This is something that I can solve by doing nothing. Okay, but, it forces you to think about it. Then the second question is what's the least you have to do to solve the problem? And now we're into who, not how, territory. Dean: Yes. Dan: Okay, the moment you say no, there is something I have to do, but usually it's just a communication. And in my world you use a fast filter to communicate. You say this is you know, this is the project, this is the best result, this is the worst result, and these are the five measurements of success. Okay, and then the third question is there a? Who can do my least? Dean: Yeah, exactly, it's like the do you know what it's all in the syntax right Is when you think about is there any way you could do nothing? No, that's impossible. You have to do something. Okay. So what's the least I could do? And then can I get somebody to do that, and the answer then is that you're doing nothing which is fantastic. It's like it reminds me of a story, dan, of the gentleman, the guy that went in to see the priest and was asking him if it was okay to smoke while he's praying, and the priest said well, praying is a very reverent thing. You should be respectful, you see, yeah, so you can't. Yeah, so no, no, you can't, you shouldn't smoke while you're praying. Dan: It's the wrong question. Can I pray while I'm smoking? Dean: That's exactly it. Dan: Cause a few months later he comes back and he said father when should I pray? Dean: And he said well, the Bible says you should pray without ceasing. And he said should I pray while I'm gardening? Well, yes, you're in nature. You should pray while you're gardening. Dan: Can I pray while I'm? Dean: walking. Can I pray while I'm smoking? Of course you can. Dan: Of course you can, exactly yeah. Dean: So I think you've stumbled on that same logic. Dan: Well, the thing is, it's gotta be able to humor to it. Yes. Dean: You know people say well. Dan: I said well, think it through. You know, yeah, and I said, the reason is that entrepreneurs of a certain nature anyway, my years in mind have a tendency to immediately throw themselves into a new possibility and it upsets your schedule. You know, it upsets your schedule, it upsets your team work and everything else, yes. So my whole point is you know, I've got a lot on my plate. Is there any way that I can get away with just 10% effort, just 10% effort, where I was thinking of 100% effort for the day? Is there any way that I can get 100% result with a 10% effort. You know it's always you know. But going back to the habit thing and my, you know your best lifetime habit, I would ask two questions best lifetime habits that you were doing it once but you haven't been doing it, and the other one is things that you're doing and they can be reinforced Because a lot of people, if they think about their life, they can think about at a certain time. You know they did this and it was great for them, but somewhere, for some reason, they got off track with it and just ask them if they you know, would it be worthwhile getting back on track with this particular habit? Dean: You know, while I'm thinking about it, dan, you're that progression of can I do nothing? What's the least I can do? Is there anybody that could do that least? That really harmonizes with my acronym, for you know, imagine if you applied yourself S-E-L-F, and it's the interesting thing is that S is for meaning is there some service or person or you know, something that you could, that could eliminate the need for you to do that? And if that, if you don't have something in your sphere, then the next thing would be E, which is energy, which is your energy. What do you have to do? L is leadership, meaning could you instruct somebody else to do what needs to be done? And F is finances. You could finance it. So, is there a way? No, it's about applying your self, your sphere, your energy. That's the one we want to least do leadership and finances. And so the only thing you're applying your energy to do is to figure out a way that you could turn it into a leadership opportunity to ask somebody else to do it. Dan: Yeah, and it's really interesting. Have you thought about that? Or what a profound change that the restrictions of CODET have have, how they've impacted people's work habits? Have you given any thought to that? Dean: I think about it all the time. I mean your own, obviously your own obviously yeah, but yeah, I have a feeling I told somebody. Dan: I said you know, I talked to a lot of adults when I was a kid who had talked about the great depression and how things that have been available weren't available and how their you know, their daily, weekly behavior changed as a result of the Great Depression. And I have a feeling, covid, which I mean the United States the Great Depression lasted 10 years, 29 to 30. And it didn't end until Pearl Harbor when the Second World War started. For the United States it didn't really end, so it was 10, 11 years. It was the you know, great depression and people's attitude toward money, towards work, you know where they lived and everything else was really altered by the, you know, by that 10, 11 year period here it was about really, you know, it was about two and a half years, let's say, and it's still being affected, you know, and what happened is that people's habits changed in a very significant way you know, And I was saying, you know, it's going to be hard to get a lot of people back to their job, you know. And what happened is that they were so busy they didn't have time to think about why they were busy. And so I said, you know, they were out for three months and they said I never realized how shitty the commute is. I called it the three shitties. The first thing, that's three shitties. Yeah, how shitty it was and how shitty the work was. You know, I would go through a shitty commute back and forth every day. The work was really shitty and the, you know, the people I was working with were really shitty. Dean: And. Dan: I never realized it because I never had time to think. You know, and now I have time to think and I think that it's a fundamental, lasting shift, like it'll last for the rest of people's lives. But, you know, the younger people will, you know, kind of be forced to adjust to what the older people's habit change was. You know, Of course, younger people's habits were enormously changed and the biggest thing, they're finding that truancy rates are at an all time high. I mean schools are back and you know they're back in person. But COVID taught kids that you know showing up for school is optional. Dean: Yes, yeah, and it's so. I mean, what's happening at Strategic Coach now regards to, you know, remote working, and how have you adapted to that? Dan: Well, we have one rule and the rule is everybody has to be there on Wednesday, and the reason is that Wednesday's, wherever it is, whether it's in London, or whether it's in Los Angeles or Chicago or Toronto, Wednesday's always a workshop day. It's always a workshop and so more people have to be in anyway because of the workshop and we just said Wednesday and people said well you know, you know I'm not, you know I'm not on the front stage on workshop days, so why do I have to come in? And I said and Bab sorry, this is not me, bab, the other team leader says because the rule is on Wednesday, you're here. Yeah but yeah, but the rule is Wednesday, you're here, Okay. Dean: So we have that. Dan: And then the other thing is now we have four workshop days a year, every quarter starting. We're just starting this. It's a full day workshop but it's just for the teams wherever they are and we have to get, and they have to be there in person so they can meet other people. I mean we had 23 new hires from January to January you know, and they haven't met the best. Majority of you know people that they're working with and everything like that. So we're making adjustments. You know we're making adjustments. We had our best year ever, so it can't be all bad. You know we had our most sales and I mean you know the boxes that you would check off. That says that this is a great year. We got all the boxes last year, so it's not like we're in trouble or anything because of the new arrangements or anything else, but there is a value in people really firsthand getting to meet the people that they work with. Dean: And in. Dan: June, everybody in the world comes to Toronto. You know everybody in our. You know California, chicago. Dean: London and. Dan: Toronto everybody's here for two days, for two days. But you know, you just make adjustments to things as they go along. Dean: Yes, but that's very yeah, that's good, I think that's. Dan: But you know, it's really interesting that if you take the money that people don't have to spend to commute and then the time saving, it's quite a bonus that they've gotten in a very short period of time. Dean: Yes, yeah, I mean you think about just the hours back of the commute. Even if it's 30 minutes, like even if you're local, it's still 30 minutes. Dan: Yeah, and there's not just the time, there's the getting ready for the 30 minutes. Dean: That's what I mean, yeah. Dan: So 30 minutes is an actual commute time. It's an hour, you know, do it. So it's twice a day and our team works 220 days. So, that would be 440 hours and then discount the one where they have to come in, but it would be 80% of that. And yeah, so you know, 80% of 440 is, you know, 350, somewhere around 350. So that's 350 hours. And then there's the gasoline cost, and I don't think any of our one or two of our team members have an electric car. But you know, Right, yeah, so anyway, but there's, you know, there's everything involved with the car parking. Dean: So, dan, I'm curious now about your day, how your, you know, or we kind of rhythm do you run your personal operating system? Dan: Yeah well, mine is really based on four things. It's doing workshops, it's everything involved in creating a book and podcasts, and then it's the preparation for those things. So three things that are products, and then there's three things I don't. I hardly do any marketing or selling anymore, I just think I have two three hour sessions a year. So from being the main salesperson 30 years ago to being just a little special treat you know, and that's that's an enormous time saving. I mean, I used to go to trade shows where it was like a four or five day trip, you know and you know and. I never travel for marketing. Right now, I would just. I just wouldn't even entertain it. The answer would be no. Somebody says hey, yeah, we'll make you a P. I said no, not going to do that. And the reason is we got great, you know, our marketing and sales that other people are doing is doing the job. Yeah, so that's it. So so that remains the same before COVID and after COVID. It's just that there's very little travel involved in most of that. Dean: That's great and so, but in your what about your daily rhythm or how you're, the day daily routine of, if we're writing this for the, for that book 100 years from now? Talking about the 2020s. The great Dan Sullivan, how he would spend his day. Dan: Well, I differ slightly, and when I get up, then I understand. Yeah, because if I'm not up by 530, it's unnatural. Yeah, you know, I I like getting up at 530. Tell me automatically I'm an hour and a half ahead of you. Dean: Yeah, but you know I think it's so funny. I had breakfast with Robin Sharma in Toronto when I was up last and you know I was joking with because he of course very famously started the 5am club as the thing and you know it's. I joked with him. I said I feel like people it'd be a you know, better for people to join the nine hour club, to get nine hours of sleep than it would to get up at 5am. Dan: Yeah well, I did a sleep course during the summer, Great. Yeah yeah, Michael Bruce. Dean: Yeah. Dan: I had to log a diary every day. Dean: I remember and you were he was staggering, usually making you stay up till 1030 or something, 1030 was 1032. Dan: Yeah, I mean, what it was is to make the time you got up constant. And he started us off with me and then Babs. Babs joined me. But he sleep deprived me and then we gradually got off my sleep sedative, got off my Adderall. Dean: So I haven't had. Dan: Adderall. I've only had one Adderall in the last six months and then, and so the reason was drugs like that, including the sedative. You don't have to get sleepy to go to sleep, because you take a sleep sleep. And you don't have to be rested when you get up in the morning because you take an Adderall you know so, but what gets lost in that is your natural sleep pattern. So yeah, now I'm, it's about 17 hours. He says that's the right period that you get at least 17 hours of waking time. But, I don't. I need 16, you know I. You know you modify it as you go on, but it's been great, you know. But you know I'm up early. I've always been up early. I grew up on a farm sports, I was in the army. You know I always get up early. I like, I really like getting up early you know, but of course, finally, I'm not a late night guy. Dean: Right yeah, so your, what time are you asleep Then? Normally? What time is your? Dan: wake at eight hours so we're in bed and out in eight hours, and that agrees with both of it, I mean when you're living with someone you got to and you're in the same and you're in the same bed. Well then, you know you're going to synchronize the hours, yeah, yeah. But it was kind of funny because New. Year's is a totally uninteresting day to me. New Year's Eve, right. And people say so, did you stay up? And I said, ah, we were in bed at nine, you know. And I said you know, you know when it was, you know when it was midnight somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. That's when I went to bed. Dean: Yes, right, it's so funny. Dan: Yeah, yeah, but yeah, I mean, my best creativity is in the morning. Dean: Yes. Dan: And I think yours too. Dean: Yeah, yeah, that zone, you know I like to, so I try, and I like to have one 50 minute session for me in that seven to 10 zone where I can just be a toddler at the picnic in my journal, thinking thoughts that I didn't know I was going to think. Right, that's, that is great for me and I've taken into, I've adopted your, you know your practice for 25 years of asking what do I want? That's really what that is about. Is my thinking, about my thinking in that time, right, in that 50 minutes and that way. But I also want to then make sure that I'm being the steward of those two hour block, the focus sessions, so that I'm allocating and stacking up here I mentioned, you know I have a thousand hours of that, but I can really only, I only focus and this is always. But my latest iteration is that I'm only stacking up, kind of the next 10 hours. What is the thing? How am I going to allocate the next 10 hours? And of those, what are the two or three today? Dan: that. Dean: I'm going to, that I'm going to do, and that's been. You know so much. I've got such a great, you know, such an abundance of ideas and things that I could do. You know it's the. It takes really curating and discipline in a way to to realize that in order for those things to get done, they have to happen in real time. You know, and that's because the what and how kind of things are shape shifters, you can puzzle on those and figure those. You figure out what you need to do and how, how it needs to be done or even who is going to do it. But the all, the applying yourself, happens in the when and the where. That's the most important thing. That's what I lack in my. That's my executive function disorder right. Dan: You know all you can you know to be useful to other people. The only thing you can do is actually tell you. Tell other people what you do, not, what they should do. I never even tell people what they should do, and my reason for that is we only get to play in the present, you know so the only game day we have is the hours available to us. You know, from rising to, you know going to bed. Yeah, we're all playing on the same synchronauts, yeah, but who you are in the present is really a function of your story about what your past is and what your story is about your future. We don't actually live in those realms and that tells me that who people are in the present is absolutely unique, because the story they tell themselves about their past and their future is completely made up by them, and they might communicate 1% of that to somebody else, but the 99% is them having a conversation with themselves both forward and backward and forward. So you know, unless you can understand what people's past and future is, it's hard for you to comprehend how they actually arrange their dates. Dean: Yes. Dan: And yet it makes total sense to them. It makes total sense so, more and more as I go along you know I have to even with people I've known for a long period of time and talk to a lot. You know I always have to remind myself that in understanding this person, I have probably less than 1% of the information that they have. Dean: Yeah, the inner world. What's going on in there? Dan: Yeah, and for most people they're not even conscious that they're making up their past. You know? I mean past is the past. You know that happened. I said well, yeah. I'm not disputing the fact that it happened, but your interpretation of what happened is the important thing here you know, and two people can have what looks like to be an identical experience and come up with very different stories about what the you know what the situation was. And so and the other thing is the future. So you know, and I follow, I've got a file on my Evernote and it's about people who think they can predict the future. You know. Dean: Wow, okay, yes. Dan: And I said, they can predict the future, but they can't even predict their tomorrow. Dean: Right, that's interesting. Dan: It's like climate. You know climate. Dean: Yeah right. Dan: Climate actually doesn't exist, it's a thought. You know and what climate is in a particular location, 365 days of temperature and you know weather conditions. Yes, the average weather conditions for 365 days. That's what climate is. It's a abstraction that gets created by averaging a large number of a large number of days. You know. Dean: Yeah. Dan: People have talked about the climate and I said well, you know, the real problem with getting people really engaged emotionally with the climate is there's not a single person who's actually experienced climate. We just experience weather. Dean: That's an interesting thing that, really, when you think about what you passed, is it's the tapestry of this woven thread of all of the things that you actually did. Yeah, I mean, it's certainly it's the weather of, it is the when and where of what did you do? Yeah, what were you? Dan: Yeah, and there's a lot of abstractions, like society. Dean: I've never experienced society. Dan: I experienced Dean, I experienced Babs, I experienced Joe Polish. I don't know the things society I've never. You know society should do this. I don't think society got the memo, you know. Dean: Right. Dan: Society is not Consistently yeah, or? We're destroying the world? I said I don't think so. I don't know what's the world, you know? you know, you know, and we may be destroying ourselves, you may be destroying yourself, but I don't think we're destroying the world, you know. I mean you know the world's taken. Asteroid hits. The temperature has gone up 100 degrees. It's gone down 100 degrees. You know where I'm talking to you right now. You know, 15,000 years ago it was under 100 feet of water. You know, and you know, I'm right on the shore of Lake Ontario. Dean: Yeah. Dan: And yeah, the shoreline used to be Castleoma. You know how high Castleoma is you? Dean: have to go up to get the Castleoma. Wow, so my, so my Yorkville was underwater. Dan: Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, yeah yeah, that's what's going on, actually. Yeah, quite a bit of us going on. So the big thing is that people create these abstractions and then the abstractions become their reality, over which they have no controls. I mean, if they didn't have any control over their personal reality, boy, they sure don't have any control over things that are an abstraction, you know, and isn't it interesting, though, that so much of everything is an extra abstraction. Dean: When you look at these things, you know we look at all the things, the collective abstractions that we all participate in is certainly most geography. I believe that Africa exists, but it's only an abstraction to me, because I've never been to Africa Me either. I've never been to Buenos Aires, but I'm going to take your word for it that it's really there. Dan: Yeah. Dean: That's interesting. Dan: And it's closer to Africa than it is to Toronto. It's actually closer to Antarctica than it is to Toronto. Dean: You can't go to Antarctica, Dan everybody knows that. Dan: Yeah yeah. Yeah. So the big thing why habits are good on a daily basis is because they're not abstractions. These are neural pathways that you're creating in your brain that encourage you to do this tomorrow rather than a whole bunch of other stuff that you haven't thought about. But my sense is, you know, and the thing I'm going to get across here, that success is a function of productive habits, times, longevity, you know it's productive habits, namely that you're doing this on a daily or frequent basis and you're doing that over years, and it's like compound interest, you know, and yeah, but, you have to make the deposits, to make the transfer. Dean: It's so funny. I was playing around with a visual metaphor for how the constant moving of the speed of reality. Have you ever seen the? Have you ever seen the video game, the guitar hero? Have you seen on visual or anything? Dan: No, I haven't. Dean: So guitar hero is a game where you have this guitar but you've got, instead of strings, you've got these color buttons on the neck of the guitar. So it's yellow, green, blue, red, you know whatever those things are. Then your imagine, do you know how the title sequence to star Star Wars is coming, like when the words are coming at you and you're kind of moving. Okay, so you're looking down the neck of a guitar and you're moving towards it, or it's moving towards you, and as the notes get to this line, you press the red button and then, when the green comes to the line, you push green and then you push yellow or whatever it is to make to play the song that's coming, but it's moving and if you miss it you miss the points, right. So I thought about the way that musical Tetris that's exactly it. Okay, there's perfect example. Tetris is coming at you. So you've got this. You know, as it's moving, we're in control. Our focus can only be on one thing at a time, right? So if you're focused on, you know in our hundred ten minute units that we're getting throughout the day our ten Jackson units. As we were referring to our hundred Jackson units is that we can be in one lane kind of thing for that. So we're moving the joystick or the controller over to be in this activity. Right, and looking back at the record of what we're leaving behind is the wake of what we actually did in those minutes. Right, so you could be neutral where you're just sitting there doing nothing, but you could be in the sleep lane for eight hours. Of that on the record you could be. You know you wake up at 5.30 and by six o'clock I think you're working out by then. Right, is that your trainer arrives. So you look back at the. You look back at the permanent record that you're leaving in your wake is at six, is yellow, with your trainer or whatever, consistently over time that you're getting into those things and the more you know erratic those things are, it leaves less of a pattern over time, right, but that's where you get that. So the consistency, my observation of it is to, if I could try and tighten up those things so that in those bands that from 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock, I've established the consistency over time of dedicating those two hours to the most important things that I can be doing, that's going to have an impact, you know. Dan: Yeah, well, it's all very interesting, you know, because I think a lot of people just don't comprehend who they are today as a function of consistent past habits, yeah, and who they're going to be in the future is a series of consistent habits. And you know, and I was reading, charlie Munger is the width and wisdom of Charlie Munger, warren Buffett's partner, who just died about a month ago, and he said you know, you can have a lot of raisins, but they're in addition, it's half raisins and half turds. We call the dish turds. Dean: So you have a lot. Dan: You have good habits, but you have a lot of bad habits. We call the result bad habits, even though there's good habits along the way. So I think you know it's part of your self knowledge is to increase one and decrease the other. Dean: Yeah, I was just thinking about my, you know. You look now the deposits of over time, the 12 o'clock and six o'clock perfectly balanced meal Delivered without any variation. Or you know, human error in that thing that over time that tapestry is going to be a different pattern, right? Dan: Yeah, and the thing is because a lot of other things are responding to it, you know I mean your brain is noticing a difference, so it's got to make adjustments. You know your brain yeah, make adjustments in your social life. Yeah, make adjustments and everything like that. That's why you don't have to think about 30 things If you got three good things to think about the other 30 will have to adjust to the three. Yeah, and I never try to change bad habits, I just tried to crowd them out with good habits. Right, I think what I, you know, evolved in thinking today, I want you to pay a lot of attention to them, you know. Dean: Yes, I think a realization I had today, dan, is I was thinking to myself could I establish that meal system without doing anything? Is that literal? Well, I don't have to cook and I don't have to buy groceries to do anything. I only have to decide which I want and place the order. But if I look, that's the least I could do. But now, as I think about it, I could get Lillian, my assistant, to do to. I said these are the 10 meals, let's rotate them around, and I want them to arrive at 12 o'clock and six o'clock and not have anything to do. So there is a way that I could do that without doing anything. Dan: Yeah, yeah, and they're not wasted because they go in the fridge, you know. Dean: So oh no. I would eat them anyway. I have to eat them. Yeah, I have to eat. Yeah, exactly. Dan: Yeah, well, of course. I mean that's the way ours are done. You know Christopher, who's the caterer for our workshops, he does Babs on my Meal and lunch and dinner, and then our back to our EA, looks at our schedule, whether we're going to be at home or not, and then she, you know we have guests in the raving house, and then she asks us questions about it and we, you know we'll give the answers. And then she's in touch with the caterer and the meals arrived. You know the meals arrived and basically lunch and dinner, like for the weekend. They would come on Friday afternoon and their guests for Saturday and Sunday. Dean: Yeah. Dan: I love that, yeah, yeah, I mean, and you know. But the big thing is I noticed, going on the 80, I'll be 80, you know four months, hey, yeah, and what I noticed is that I don't really start anything new these days. If it's not something I'm going to stick with for the rest of my life, okay, or it's going to reinforce something else that I'm going to stick, that I'm already doing, that's going to last for the rest of my life. Dean: So yeah. Dan: Yeah, so I'm very selective about anything new, you know, and you know, people say hey this is really interesting. So I said, don't think so. I don't think this is going to be a rest of my life experience you know, and so but on the other hand, I'm going a lot deeper into things that you know. I'm really interested in things that really support the new things, that support the thing that I'm already doing. Dean: I'm really yeah, and our podcast is one of those. Yes, one of those. Dan: Yeah, so you can. You know pretty well, figure, as long as you're up to it, I'm up to it. Dean: That's great. I like it, yeah, yeah. Well, it's been an amazing conversation, as always I had no idea what adventure we were going to go on, but this was really enjoyable conversation. Dan: The one thing I should tell you is that when you're in Argentina, it's not uncommon for dinner to start at nine o'clock at night. Dean: Right. Dan: Okay and which which, so you can take dinner time and then, after dinner and going to bed, which kind of dictates that Argentinians get up later. They get up later in the morning and I said this tells you why the US and also they have the two hour break. Dean: Yes, the middle of the day, you know and. Dan: I said. So this kind of tells you why the US is ahead, because Americans get up early and work all day. Yeah, I think on a one developed countries. Americans work a lot more than certainly anybody in Europe. Americans work a lot more than anyone in. Europe, I think probably anyone in South America, probably not. Southeast Asia. I bet Southeast Asians work more than Americans do. Yeah, but anyway. But that's just the habit of the culture. It's a workout. I mean, america is a work culture. Dean: Yes, I love. It, okay, well, I guess I will see you on Thursday. Dan: Oh well, have a good day I got a lot of great stuff for Thursday. Dean:It's all very exciting. I'm going to read the. I got the new book for the or yesterday, so I'm going to read that. Dan: Awesome, all right. Dean: Okay, Dan, I'll talk to you next week or I'll see you Thursday. Dan: Okay, thursday Thanks, thanks, gene.

This episode is part of our Capital Series hosted by Jason Jacobs. This series explores a diverse range of capital sources and the individuals who drive them. From family offices and institutional LPs to private equity, government funding, and more, we take a deep dive into the world of capital and its critical role in driving innovation and progress. Michael Bruce serves as the Senior Director of Venture Investing, Environment and Energy at Emerson Collective.

In this episode of the Hustle and Flowchart podcast, host Joe Fier interviews Tanessa Shears, a kinesiologist, certified sleep science coach, and health consultant. The conversation delves into the importance of sleep, optimizing brain health, and biohacking techniques to double energy and focus for entrepreneurs. Listeners are encouraged to take notes and reach out to Tanessa, who offers a playbook on biohacks. The Significance of Sleep and Energy Boosting Techniques Sleep disruptions, particularly when dealing with sick children, create challenges for entrepreneurs. Tanessa emphasizes the need for tools to boost energy and alertness in the morning. Manipulating body temperature through movement or cold showers can stimulate increased alertness by positively affecting dopamine and norepinephrine levels. These "little hacks" enhance productivity and help start the day with an energized brain. Understanding Chronotype and Optimizing Sleep Schedule Chronotype refers to an individual's genetic inclination to be an early or late person. Dr. Michael Bruce's book, "The Power of When," offers a free quiz on his website to determine an individual's chronotype. The Aura Ring analyzes sleep data to determine the optimal sleep time for maximum energy. Adjusting sleep schedule to match individual chronotypes can lead to better overall well-being. Harnessing the Power of REM Sleep for Cognitive Performance REM sleep, which occurs during early morning hours, is correlated with creativity and problem-solving abilities. Good REM sleep improves the ability to read facial and body expressions, making entrepreneurs better coaches and consultants. It also helps manage emotions, allowing for aligned responses and maintaining integrity. The Journey to Optimal Brain Health Tanessa's career began as a swimming teacher, which she used to pay her way through university. After switching her major to Kinesiology, she opened a personal training business. Working with online clients, many of whom were entrepreneurs, she realized the impact of brain health optimization on energy, focus, and overall life quality. Personalizing Diet and Tracking Data for Optimal Health Tanessa highlights the importance of individualized and personalized dietary choices. Removing gluten from a client's diet resulted in decreased inflammation. HRV (heart rate variability) measurements helped evaluate the body's response to changes. Fitness tracking devices like Fitbit Luxe or Aura Ring provide data for understanding brain performance and recovery, guiding informed decisions about schedule and productivity. The Impact of Light Exposure on Sleep Quality Exposure to bright white blue devices before bed disrupts sleep patterns. Creating an indoor sunset by dimming lights and using orange bulbs can promote better sleep. Reading on an iPad before bed delays the rise in melatonin and reduces quality sleep. The impact of light exposure can last for two to three days, affecting REM sleep. Entrepreneurial Freedom and a Balanced Lifestyle Joe shares his journey toward financial independence, allowing him and his husband to lead a slow, relaxed lifestyle while still working. Tanessa emphasizes the importance of reducing inflammation through stable blood sugar levels achieved by consuming whole, unprocessed foods. Conclusion The conversation with Tanessa Shears in this podcast episode explores the significance of sleep, brain health optimization, and biohacking techniques for entrepreneurs. By understanding and applying personalized approaches to sleep, nutrition, and tracking data, listeners can experience increased energy, focus, and overall well-being. Taking control of sleep and brain health leads to a better entrepreneurial journey and a more balanced lifestyle. Listeners are encouraged to reach out to Tanessa for her playbook on biohacks and further insights into optimizing health and energy levels.

On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz take a deep dive into the life and crimes of Connecticut serial killer, Michael Bruce Ross. Between the years of 1981 to 1984, Michael brutally strangled eight young women, sexually assaulting seven of them. After his arrest, Michael was sent to prison and sentenced to death, and proceeded to sit on death row for more than 20 years. Despite having been confirmed as the killer of all eight of these victims, he didn't get charged with one of them. In 2005, Michael was executed by lethal injection. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truecrimene/support

In this episode of Cloudlandia, we journey through cottage renovations, explore the landscapes of North America, and decode the power of vision and reach in building successful ventures.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The episode begins with a discussion about cottage renovations, exploring the landscapes of North America, and building successful ventures. The hosts discuss the renovation projects of Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Jackson, the smoky Quebec forest, and the history of the Canadian forest industry. Insight from Peter Zion suggests that even if the U.S. population doubled, there would still be room to spare, and Florida's unspoiled grapefruits are also discussed. They introduce a useful tool called the FAST filter, a quick 15-minute method to help evaluate the success potential of any project. The episode covers three fascinating life roles: everything is invented by someone, no one is really in charge, and life isn't always fair. Productivity strategies involving intense physical feats are discussed, along with the hosts' experiences with rising early and its surprising effects. Steve Jobs' philosophy of creating technology that's not only functional but also beautiful and user-friendly is another compelling topic. The hosts critique Bud Light's marketing choices and emphasize the importance of getting feedback from the right audience. The episode explores the concept of being the buyer in ventures, with examples from Mr Beast's Cloudlandia and the strategic approach of Prime energy drink. Finally, the hosts emphasize the importance of maintaining quality control for your product, finding the right partnerships, and understanding that everything in life and business is a guess and a bet.

Dan Sullivan Ah, Mr Jackson, are you enjoying your play show four seasons. Dean Jackson Yes. I'll tell you what it's so nice that everything's done now. It's like having a new renovation. We got new carpet, new hardwood, new wallpaper in the kitchen. Everything's all fantastic. Done now, finally. We're excited about that. How about you? Dan Sullivan you're up at two o'clock it's yes, I am, yeah, and it's been spectacular. We've done really, really great, you know, sort of that idyllic cottage, culture, weather and yeah and although it was very smoky for the first two days. Oh yeah, Because we have Quebec, you know yes. Dean Jackson In. Dan Sullivan Canada, in Canada, you always play with that Quebec. Dean Jackson That's right, that's right. It was just separate already. Come on, yeah, yeah. Dan Sullivan But this is a big forest area on the very west side of Quebec which is basically forest. You know, hundreds of square miles of forest. So even though it was a major fire there was, it didn't affect any towns at all because there are no towns. Dean Jackson Right, right, the Great Wilderness. Dan Sullivan There is so much nature in this country. Yes, absolutely. Dean Jackson Yeah, yeah, how's your construction project going? Dan Sullivan Well, we, you know the wheels of government approvals here really grind very slowly, and so we have to get a demolition. We have to get a demolition thing first, and we're going to have it done after the college season, the cottage season is over, and it'll be that'll. You know, that doesn't take very long, that takes a week or two. And then we have to really get the cottage fine tuned. The new design this is second. For those who are listening, this is a joining property that we have with our main tree, so we'll have about 300 feet of frontage on the water with a two, and they go around a bend, and so one of them is facing sort of more west than south and one of them is more south, so there's a curve. Dean Jackson And this is old rock. Dan Sullivan This is, you know, this is Canadian shield rock. Yeah, and this is 4 million years old rock and it's. It's a very striking locale, you know and. Muskoka, of course, is the great cottage country. We're in Halliburton, which is to the east. It's about you know it's about an hour's drive to the east and this was the great forest industry part of Canada like 1800. And the. British Navy came. The British Navy's ships were mainly wood from this area. Dean Jackson Oh well, they had a huge number. Dan Sullivan It was the number one industry in Canada, in what is now Canada, in the 1800. And yeah, and of course they thought, you know, there was just so much natural resource that they just cut and cut and cut. And then somebody said you know, maybe we should replant. Dean Jackson We're going to run out of wood. Yeah, exactly. Dan Sullivan Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, but it goes on forever. I mean it's not just here in Ontario, it's in Quebec, it's in when you get to Manitoba. You know you have all that and it's just goes on forever. So you know, it's no wonder that you know the big complaint about modern Canadians and modern Americans, how wasteful they are. Well, when you've lived your whole culture where you couldn't run out of things. It doesn't make you particularly, you know, stingy. It doesn't make you, yeah. So but I was thinking about that, that interesting statistic from Peter Zion that if you doubled the population of the United States, you know, sort of spreading the new population across the entire country, it would still feel. And you got to 650 million, 616 million. If you got there, the country would still feel pretty empty. Dean Jackson Yeah you know it's so funny, like I did a when just up and I were doing all the big real estate seminars, we were very sort of Western, western United States. you know, weighted, we were doing more. You know over half of the events were in. You know, in California We'd do Phoenix and Palm Springs and LA and San Francisco and Seattle and Denver and you know that kind of all on the Western side and I was making the argument for more East Coast events and got a satellite view of the US by light source. Have you ever seen that map that showed light and you could draw a line, like at the Rocky, like you're right up the middle of the country, and it looked like just the entire right side was lit up, where all the population is Over on the east side very much. And you're saying that makes total sense with Peter Zayam, that you could kind of fold that over even onto the west side, especially in the western United States, there's nothing and that would make no difference. But out of even Florida, if you look at Florida right now, there's 22 million people right now. We're projected for 29 million by 2030. So we're growing up to 15 million people a day right now. But the most of Florida, the entire middle of Florida, is basically the outback. I mean you can drive for miles and miles and not see anything. Dan Sullivan We were way back in the 70s. I went on a trip to Florida and it was on the west side. We were staying in Lakeland Florida. And we had a friend there who was a cattle breeder but he had gotten interested in citrus fruit so he had big grapefruit. But he was in a cooperative so all the work was done by the workers in the cooperative. And the neat thing about grapefruit is that it doesn't spoil on the trees. Oranges- and grapefruits. you can leave them hanging there for as long as you want, they don't spoil. So it gives you some really good timing as far as when to pick and sell. And he was canny. He was kind of like just a canny person. He understood cattle. But we went to a cattle ranch in the middle of Florida and it's like the in the lower 48 states, like the number three cattle ranch in the United. Dean Jackson States. Dan Sullivan It just went on. I mean, we got on the ranch and then it was 30 miles to the homestead, you know we had to drive 30 miles. Once we were on the ranch, but it was right down in the middle, just above the Everglades, and so what we saw is a lot of pigs. You know, there were hundreds and thousands of cattle, but there were a lot of pigs and they just seemed to be wandering around. And so my friend yes, no, no, they were domestic, they were domestic but they yeah they didn't last long enough to go wild, you know. And anyway, he said I said what are all the pigs for? This is a cattle ranch. And he says, well, you know, yeah, you can have beef every night for so long, and he just want to change. And so we go out and just roast up a couple of pigs and eat that. And I said, well, I don't think there's no fences. And I said you don't worry about them. He says, well, how are they going to get off the ranch? Dean Jackson We had to go 30 miles. Dan Sullivan That's a real trip for a short-legged pig, you know. Dean Jackson Right right, right right. Dan Sullivan But anyway, the sheer size, and this is, you know, psychologically, if you go back, the huge difference between the New World and the Old World. If you think about Europe, where every square inch of landscape is surveyed and owned and is populated, I mean I think Holland has the greatest density in any country in the world, even more so than some of the Asian countries. Oh really, wow. And yeah, and then they come to this New World and they just give you 100 acres. You know, like, here we're just going to basically for almost nothing. We're going to give you 100 acres and see what you, if you make an improvement on it over the next five years, then you own the. We'll give you the land for life. You know, and everything like that. And what a draw that must have been for people who had nothing in Europe, especially in. Dean Jackson Europe. Dan Sullivan Yeah, you know, if you can make it across the ocean, we'll give you land and the New World. Yeah, and if all that's taken where you are, then just go another 50 miles to the west. There's a lot and my sense is the frontier took from 1620, jamestown, you know, the first permanent settlement in town, virginia, to 1890,. When they finally surveyed the last bed of whichever western territory, it was In 1890, they, it was all surveyed and they said the frontier is now officially over. You know, we have no more frontier and but that 270 years, really, I put an incredible stamp on probably what would you say? 15 years per generation, even let's say 20 years per generation, so 20, you know it's about 15 generations. And that probably just put a permanent stamp on psyche of the Americans. Yeah, you look at the. Dean Jackson I mean it's amazing now if you take the parallel and you bring it into Cloudlandia, if you count Jamestown, if Jamestown was 1996, you know when everybody started kind of landing in Cloudlandia even though there was no infrastructure, really there was no, you know, no electricity, no, all of that stuff. You look at the highway system and we liken the development of Cloudlandia over, you know, a generation and a half here. Dan Sullivan Well, and that's, and we're never going to run out. Dean Jackson That's the amazing thing. Well, there's an infinitely. Dan Sullivan There's an infinitely expanding frontier in Cloudlandia and you're not trespassing. You're not really trespassing in the same way you do on the mainland, right yeah. Dean Jackson And I think that's why? 0Dan Sullivan you know the chat GPT took over. You know which is the latest new adventure in Cloudlandia is chat GPT that if you look at the numbers, they say 100 million. Right away, 100 million people are using it and I said but not everywhere, not everywhere and my sense is that it's. I was just breaking it down. I said it's mostly Americans or people connected to it. There are people connected to America digitally. It's probably males, they're probably single and they're probably between 25 and 45. And they just want to go places where nobody's gone before. And this is they got a vehicle for doing this, and that's the frontier, that's the frontier mentality. Dean Jackson What's beyond the? Dan Sullivan settled territory. What's beyond the settled territory? Dean Jackson Right, right, right. And what are you going to settle on the territory? I mean, this is the really. This is the thing. It's such amazing times, like a couple of things that that have jumped out over the last little bit here. Here I just saw that Mr B Again now with feastable new company is chocolate. Your confection company is global. Now They've got in there all over the world. They've taken over the United States and things. And I read what happened in the last few weeks is Mr Beast has sort of soured a little bit on on Mr Beast burger as a as a collaboration, in that he can't control the quality of what the product is being delivered. Right. There's a little variation because it's going, you know, it's expanded so quickly and there's so many restaurants making the, you know, making his burgers, making the menu, and that was a collaboration largely driven by someone coming to him with that like virtual dining concepts. But Robert Earl was the driver of that. And so, if we take the VCR formula, robert Earl went to Mr Beast with the capability offering to bring him into the burger business with tapping him in his range Right. Dan Sullivan So it wasn't there. Dean Jackson It wasn't driven by Mr Beast and it wasn't Mr Beast capability to to do the thing. Now feastable. What they did was they started with division and they sought out the capability and they're the. It reminded me of your always be the buyer. That there's a difference where, with your the visionary, you're the buyer of this Right. Your your partnering with a capability that, if you have the vision and the reach, partnering with the capability is that's kind of the power position and the difference between feastables, which is packaged goods that you can 100% controlled quality of, and then partnering with Walmart as reach to multiply the reach that you have a physical you know Mr Beast's Cloudlandia reach with an outlet at the largest footprint retailer reach in the country Makes a huge, huge difference. It's a product-based thing. I look at prime. There's another major story in the VCR world right now, which is prime energy drink, which was driven by Logan Paul and KSI another you know, two big global YouTubers who have partnered to make this energy drink and they're, you know, last year sold 250 million dollars of this energy drink and now they are kind of funny how this the you know it's like VCR squared. They are now as an entity, a capability, partnering with other big reach outlets like they. They're the official hydration of USC, the ultimate fighter competition, the Dana White big MMA thing, and they were just announced as the official hydration of the Barcelona football club, which is a huge international thing, and they did it with Manchester United and those guys are there's no limit to where that's going A package, good product that they're the driver of the. Dan Sullivan Well, and, as you said, the central issue here is quality control. Yes yes, I mean a shitty restaurant. Anyway can produce shitty, mr Beesburgers. Dean Jackson That's exactly what I mean. Yes, that's the thing, right that you're, rather than having something that you can just deliver to somebody in the experience, the unboxing, it's only just distributed to some. Dan Sullivan Well, you know my newest quarterly book is called the Geometry for Staying Cool and Calm, and one of the there's three roles which we've You've very kindly talked about on the podcast. The three roles are everything's made up by someone sometime. Okay, sometimes someone made up something, so things that are thousands of years old, it was still. Someone at some time made this up. Somebody wrote it down, you know. And somebody said, well, what about the Bible? And I said somebody wrote it down. You know it was just a discussion until somebody wrote it down, somebody. Okay, so the big thing is that if you take the three roles, everything's made up. Nobody's in charge, and number three, life's not fair. There's some byproducts that come out of that, and number one of the things that come out of that is it's all guessing and betting. So, the future is all about betting. Yeah, the future is all guessing and betting, you know. And so when you hear somebody this is very definitely technology is going in this direction what you have is someone telling you that they're guessing on something and they want you to bet on it. And so this whole notion that the future is predetermined is silly, because even with Mr Beast, who knows the power of YouTube I mean, he's proven that he knows the power, just with his community is hundreds, you know more than 100 million, but he's guessing what he can do with that community and he's betting. So Mr Beast, mr Beastburger was a bet, okay, and took up time, took up energy, took up skills, took up probably some money, and with him it's not so much money, it's just how does he want to spend his time, you know that's really, I think, his biggest thing is not wasting time, you know but he just tested on something. And now one thing he's learned we have to control the product. That's. That's a useful learning. I'm sure he didn't lose any money on Mr Beastburger he's still going strong still going strong. Dean Jackson But he's just losing. Like it was an interesting thing, he tweeted that you know that he can't. You know virtual diving solutions won't let him out of the, they won't let him out of the contract or he can't stop. Even he said you know I can't, my partners won't let me stop, even though it's bad for my brand, you know which is really interesting Well he's at 20, you know, at 26,. Dan Sullivan I'm not sure his exact age, but 24, 26. He's learned a powerful lesson that applies for the rest of his life. You got to be the owner. Dean Jackson Yes, always be the buyer. Dan Sullivan Yes, yeah, yeah, and you know he just learned it. I mean, I didn't learn that until I was in my 50s. I'm a committed learner, but sometimes I'm a slow learner. I've got a tool variation for you, OK. Ok, and this was prompted by your raising the topic of Dean Landia. So I've always kind of liked the tool we have called the FAST filter rather than the big impact filter. Yeah, and the FAST filter. The FAST filter, you just write down here's the project, here's the best result, here's the worst result and here are five success criteria. And for all practical purposes. It does 90% of what the impact filter does, but in about half the time about half the time. So you and I are people of a quickness nature that we've got 15 minutes or we lose interest. So I go for a tool that only takes 15 minutes. But here's the thing, and this is a question for you. But I'll just tell you what I did Of all the profiles that we've done the Colby profile, we've done in coach, we've done the Colby profile, we've done Myers-Briggs, we've done Desk. You know D-S-I-D-I-Z, we've print and we've just done the working genius. And everybody in FreeZone is going to get that in the next quarter. We're just sending it out in September, everybody and just go do that profile and they can do that with their teams, and you know the whole thing. But of all of them and I didn't mention it yet, but the one that really struck home for me was the Strength Finder, which came out of the Gallup organization. So my five strengths are number one ideation. You know that if I'm going to take action on something, it'll be on an idea. Number two maximizer. I'm interested in ideas that don't take average things and make them better. I'm only interested in things that take already extraordinary people and make them even more productive. So, maximizer. Number three, self-assurance is that personally, I don't think I can ever get into trouble with a new idea. You know that I always have confidence that you know it'll either work or I'll get some learning out of it. But there's no loss with coming up with a new idea. And number four is context. Is that I'm passionate about how this connects to everything. So if I create something, I immediately want to know how does this connect to everything else I've done? And number five is activator, that there's no idea we're spending any time if it does not lead to action. Dean Jackson So those are my thoughts. Dan Sullivan And you know, experience and the observation of my team would pretty well prove it out that there isn't any one, any other strength on the list of 34, these are the top five out of 34. That would replace one of the ones that are in the top five. Okay, and that's good enough for me. That's good enough for me. I said I don't think so either, and so what I did is that on the stra, on the fast filter, you have five success criteria, so I just put in the five, you know ideation, multiple maximizer, self assurance, context and activator. And then I think of a particular project and I said, okay, so what's the central idea here? What's the central idea here? Ideation, okay, and really make a big jump with it. Maximizer number three that this will, if you pull this off as the real jump in your self assurance, okay, number this actually connects with about five other things that I'm doing, or 10 other things that I'm doing. That's context and number five, activator, and I can immediately see that I can take this action within the next day or two. And then I go back and I write worse result of doing this, best result. So I do it backwards, I do the five success criteria first and then I do worse result and said ah, this is just one of your another hair brain scheme that you get all excited about and you distract a lot of other people. I tell the whole story how this is just puts me in the ditch like other. And then I go to the best result and I said this is a breakout moment in my entire 17 to 29 year life and everything and away we go. And so I just wondered did you do the strength finder, did you? Dean Jackson I did years ago and it's for ideation, ideation was at the top of my. Dan Sullivan Yeah, we're both ideation which probably people could guess yes. And that's what it's interesting, but it'd be interesting because you've got the fast filter on your website. You just yeah, but all you do is that you the first word in the five success criteria are the five strength finders, you just put the first word and then you say and you know, and you can see what that, their explanation of each of those are. But you kind of know anyway. But I'm noticing that it does amazing things with projects. First of all, it gives you an incredible amount of immediate motivation to do the project because it checks off all the boxes where you get energy. Anyway, I just thought it would. Dean Jackson So everybody would put in the fast filter, they would feed their five. Their five strength finders. Dan Sullivan With their five strength finders. So it custom designs it immediately that you're only doing this project for your purposes. Dean Jackson Yes, where could I find my strength finder again, oh. Dan Sullivan Julia Waller. I'm at the cottage and she's in the next cottage. I'll just, I'll see her tonight and I'll just said could you just look up Dean Dean Jackson's strength finders? Okay, great, and if she can't, she'll just give you their contact information. I mean, you do it over again. It's $35, $40, something like that. Dean Jackson So you know you you gotta do it, but it's a very, I think you know, do four or five of them. Dan Sullivan Just take that random, just take five projects and run it through. And you see that it makes you into the total buyer of everything that you do. I don't go into this unless it checks off my five strength finder boxes. I'm not devoting an ounce of energy unless it checks off my boxes, and I think that's as good a definition of what being a buyer for you means as it does you know, anyway, so just thought you'd be interested in that. Dean Jackson Yeah, I'm very fascinated by that because that I've gone through and I've had a buddy on my team through the working genius and James probably put together a team profile that shows a map of where everybody is on your team. So when you're building, you're kind of the next thing. When you're going forward with a project, I know that we need all of the widgets, you know we need everybody, somebody's genius in every aspect of it to get it all the way through, all the way from wonder to synastomy, somebody to follow through with it, and so that's kind of a. I like all these combinations. Dan Sullivan I love what you're looking for, what I'm looking for is just the one tool that works everywhere. You know, I mean I created lots of you know and coach. We've created lots of tools, but I'm just always looking for the one tool that's a really fast tool. That's just the starting point for everything. You know, just yeah, and you know it's like Jack Pell. I'm talking to Billy Crystal and you know Billy Crystal and he said I'm going to give you, billy, I'm going to give you the secret of life. And he holds up his finger, one finger, and Billy Crystal says your finger is the secret to life. And he says yeah, but we're all looking. I mean, especially if you're AD and you're a 10, quick start and ideation is your number one strike fighter, you're subject to a lot of distractions, yeah. Dean Jackson Like hourly, like hourly. Dan Sullivan Yeah, yeah, and sometimes in the middle of the night and so funny that that was where. Dean Jackson Oh, by the way, michael. Dan Sullivan Bruce. I'm meeting weekly with Michael Bruce and he just wanted to pass on his best wishes to you. Oh good, we had some conversations where he's really good at what he's really good. I tell you he's really really good at what he does. Yeah, For the listeners, this is a great sleep psychologist named Michael Bruce. He lives in Hermosa Beach, California, and yeah. And I'm going through a 12 week program with him where I have to diary my sleep every night in the morning. I do that and the whole thing is to get me two things. One is to establish a regular get up time for me which is five o'clock. So this is really good, because I'm in my just finishing my fourth week now and I've gotten up at five o'clock every morning for 28 days and then he won't let you go to bed earlier. I'm at 10 30 now, so I get six and a half hours sleep. But the ultimate goal here is one is that I always have a wake up time that's predictable, so that my system kicks in and creates the sleep drive during the day. I don't have to use meds at night. And I'm down to half of my meds after four weeks. So in just four weeks. I'm off half and then during the day I don't have to use Adderall to propel me for the whole day. So I have an early morning slow release. I have a slow release that I take right away. He's leaving that alone. And at night I have a lunesta that I take just to start the night, and he's leaving that alone. He's gotten rid of the halfway, the two thirds through the night sonata, so that's gone. And my daytime Adderall, like let's say, afternoon, that's gone. So I pre-dropped two of them in four weeks, so it's really good. Dean Jackson Did you get a chance to experiment with telling yourself you could be being happy that you get to have the best two hours of sleep? Two hours here when you wake up. I've tried that. Dan Sullivan I've tried that, you know, but that's a trick that we had. There's this mad, crazy sort of like survival thing I forget what it's called, but where you go four weeks and you're a team of four One of them has to be a woman and you have to climb mountains, you have to swim across you know straights of water, you have to go through jungle and everything else, and you only have 24, 96 hours to pull it off and they have tricks, and one of the tricks is they go on two hours of sleep per night, but it's the last two hours before sunrise and if you wake up at sunrise, your body thinks that you, for four days, your body can pull you, or your mind can pull your body into believing you got full night's sleep four nights in a row, and then it falls apart on the fifth day. Really, you go one. Yeah, yeah, so it's an interesting. Dean Jackson And that you're, that, you know, limiting to six and a half hours, or whatever that worked out to be, yeah, yeah. Dan Sullivan But this is not forever, this is just to get me through this period and I think I think I'm probably at my limit right now. I don't think he's going to push it any further, and but he might. And first it was seven hours, then it was so it was 10 o'clock and then it was 1015 and now it's 1030. So we'll see I've had lots of energy and I've gotten lots of things done. Dean Jackson But what I've done is wherever, why. I'm curious about why five am. Is that? No, you choose that. Dan Sullivan You choose that. No, you choose that, you choose that, but then it's that's what it is. So he said you get up anywhere from four to five, 30. But if you had to do it every morning, which would you do? And he's the upside. Both agreed we do it at five o'clock and he says good, so five is fixed. So regardless of when you go to bed although I'm not going to let you go to bed earlier than 10 o'clock, the one time we did, we went to see Jeff Maddox, Premier play a Premier week personality in Chicago, which is a dynamite play and musical, and he, we got home at two o'clock in the morning. It was downtown and we went out afterwards and I said Baps, there's no way we're getting up at five o'clock, so we just got up at nine o'clock because we had to get to the airport to play home. Dean Jackson I said, you know, every once in a while. Dan Sullivan I'm just going to. I mean, yeah, rows aren't any good if you can't make exceptions. Right, right, right. Dean Jackson Yeah, my, I would love, like I think, that my natural if I just look at my natural cycle, it would probably be it would eight hour period, it would probably be 11 to 7 would be my natural preferred. I think that's like the person, yep yep, I think everybody's rhythm for me. Dan Sullivan It doesn't matter just his whole point is it doesn't matter what the hours are, just so that you stick with it, because your body adjusts and then adjusts its system. But if you're all over, the map with it your body, then you get all sorts of sleep disorders and right, right, right yeah. But I'm from childhood I've been an early riser, you know farm boy, you were at the break of dawn and you know I was in sports going through schools. You were too, but you got up early. You had morning practices and and it was in the army, army you get up at, you know you get a six, six o'clock, you know so you know I was just used to it and and I find that most creative before noon. You know I get most my creative creativity. I can talk endlessly after three o'clock, but don't ask me to create anything in the afternoon. Dean Jackson That's funny. I have a second, like if I were to say I have a second period of period, you know, like three or four in the afternoon till six or seven. That's like a really good. If I just look at my, you know, biorethm or whatever it's first thing in the morning, you know, till noon, and then another, I think the European, you know the fiesta model is like the perfect thing, I think. You know. Get, get up, do what you do creative work. Dan Sullivan Well, you've got forward a heat. You got forward a heat to blame on it, even though you're in air conditioning. But you know, you know I think it's a light thing too how much light you get. You get way more light than we do in Toronto during the year. Dean Jackson You know it's fun the way that you and I talk about these things. You know different approaches to it, but part of the thing, I guess, is picking the game that you like in the way that you like to play the game and establishing your life around it, you know, just fitting it into what you're natural and not everybody's the same, like like you. For you, I don't like the idea of waking up at five o'clock. Even you know Robin Sharma. Do you know Robin Sharma wrote the five AM club, so I had lunch at the table I sure don't want to. Dan Sullivan I'll get up at five, but I'm not going to be a member of the club at five o'clock. Dean Jackson Exactly the five AM club. Dan Sullivan Are you kidding? Dean Jackson I said you know it's so funny that everybody tries to in personal development. It feels like everybody tries to pigeonhole you into their method of you got to get up at five AM and if your dreams aren't big enough to get you bouncing out of bed in the morning, you know. Dan Sullivan The last time I saw Robin was at the Soho hotel in London, and he just happened to be in the restaurant when I was there, so we pulled up a table. You know, we got a table together and I was talking. He was saying, you know, he was sort of at a decision point in his. You know what he was doing and you know that every he had stages and he was at the end of one of his stages and he was and I said, robin, maybe it's time for the monk to buy a new Ferrari. Dean Jackson That's right, I love it. So for everybody listening Robin Sharma, very famously, first thing, wrote a book called the Monk. We sold his Ferrari and that's great, that's my favorite. Ferrari. Dan Sullivan I think that's fantastic Dan His language, so he wouldn't, it's his language so he would know what that means. Dean Jackson you know Of course, and it was just so perfectly appropriate, like once you, you know it's so funny that the you know I think about that often and for the last 25 years, or 23 years, my go-to I know I'm being successful when I've been. You know, I wake up every day and ask what would I like to do today? And maybe it's time that I wake up and ask myself what would I like to do tomorrow instead of doing and do the thing that I need to wake up. Dan Sullivan I wake up every day and I know exactly what I'm doing for the day and that's another variation, not that you'd want to make this the main course, but just for sort of space. Is you wake up in the morning and say what am I glad I didn't do yesterday? Ah right, exactly. Dean Jackson Phew, that was close. Dan Sullivan I almost did that. I almost did that and I didn't do it. Dean Jackson That is funny, I get point for that. Dan Sullivan They asked Steve Jobs very close, you know like you're to be very died. They asked him what were the 10 best decisions he had made during his Apple career and he says the 10 times I said no to something that would have really gotten us bogged down if we had pursued Wow, yeah. So I think that's as useful as what did you achieve? It's what did you not? It's not what a lot of people grade themselves on what they said yes to, but they there's just as much value in remembering what you said no to. And we have the tool, the experience transformer and coach. You know where you take something that you haven't resolved in your mind. And I had everybody just pick something during their teenage years. Because there's a lot of stuff that goes on in teenage years. You know that's not understandable at the time and maybe you didn't resolve it at all afterwards. So I said just pick something that's negative from your teenage years that anytime you're reminded of it it kind of rankles. You still get an emotional, negative, emotional hit from it. And so they picked it. You know a number of people. It was a relationship, okay, you know, and this one guy said he says boy, and what we do is you write down what worked about that. And they this is the hardest time of it because their memory of it is nothing worked about it. But then you go through and he said and then he you know. And I say now, so you know. And then you say what didn't work about it. So after you've done what worked about it, it's easier to emotionally face the things that didn't work about it. It's very hard to what's not working head on. You have to you have to get your confidence level up before you can actually look at the things that didn't work. And then you say, if, in a similar situation going forward, what would I do differently, based on my thinking so far. So yeah, and this one guy said well, I had this girlfriend and she was a knockout. Then I just thought she was going to be the woman of my life and everything else. And and and so, yeah, we got to a nice is so what worked about that? And he says well, I didn't marry her. I said you missed a bullet, didn't you? You missed because he had met her about 15, 20 years later and she wasn't the woman of his dreams. Dean Jackson When he met her? Yeah, and I'm sure the women. Dan Sullivan The women would have the same story to tell about men. Thank God I didn't marry him, so anyway. But but I'm a great believer in reworking my past. My past is my property, so I can do anything that I want with it. Your past is an interpretation of events. It's yeah, I mean, our entire past is our interpretation of what certain events you're not changing the events you're simply changing your interpretation of the events. And I spent a lot of time in my past. You know I go back and I said what did I learn from that? Gee, that's really useful, but by intent is always, I'm going to learn something from the past, that's applicable to the future. I think that's what I think, that's what I think, that's what humanity does Is that right Because I wondered if I thought maybe that was uniquely. Dean Jackson I thought maybe I spent a lot of time in the past and I do it with an analytical mind, like I think I mentioned to you, like looking back and kind of really breaking it down into the four to five year pretty serious inflection changes and looking back for three lines and recognize that when you were talking about guessing and betting, that I think that the you know it was really interesting is looking back at the things that I guessed right and bet and the. I think the reason that we take such comfort in looking back or that enjoy the fantasy of being able to go back, is that because we know the, we know the outcome now. Looking back 25 years. It would have been, it would be really amazing to go back 25 years now that we know where it's all heading. You know, we know that, having seen 2023, it would be very interesting to go back to 1997 and know that the bets that you're making, you know, are going to pay off. But the real skill is to be able to turn that thinking and project forward for the next 25 years and make those bets, you know. But it's also very interesting that there's probably, you know, when I looked at, when I look at, 25 years is an amazing framework for looking backwards, but there's not, there's not a lot of. There's not a lot of things that you could kind of place a bet on with certainty that we're going to pay out and a lot of the things wouldn't have even come into existence, Like I think you know, if you look back at 1995, like we said, 28 years ago, the internet was just kind of getting started. So I guess that would be one thing that you could kind of place a bet on, but all of the things that the biggest winners among the internet. Like you know, apple was going bankrupt in 1995. They were losing almost a billion dollars a year because of mismanagement and scattered efforts, and Steve Jobs didn't come back till 1997 and simplified things, and so you wouldn't have bet on Apple in 1995 as being and then they just crossed. Dan Sullivan No, they just crossed three trillion dollars, first three trillion dollars, so there's no you wouldn't have guessed that in 1995. Dean Jackson There were no indications that they were going to be that. But you look at that period of innovation, the 10 years from 1997 to 2007 were tremendous innovation and game changing things, all on the back of internet. And I think that if you look at, what Steve Jobs was able to see was going just like he went all in on personal computers in a phase when it ball mainframe and business. He in the 70s yeah, that 25 years or 20 years or whatever went all in on personal computing and then when he saw the internet, that was the world that he was like how can we bring the world to the devices. Dan Sullivan Yeah, I mean, and you know, the Walkman was the breakout product of that. Well, the Apple, that wasn't Apple, but. Dean Jackson The iPod. Dan Sullivan The iPod, yeah, the iPod. I mean he just and that was strictly internet. You know that was totally making use of the internet. Dean Jackson I mean and the. Dan Sullivan Mac was the Mac. I mean, he always had a great operating system before he was fired. Dean Jackson The iMac was the first thing that you know, really made the computer. That was really the thing that was acknowledging it's all going to the internet. So the iMac was first, then that brought in. Dan Sullivan Yeah, and the other thing that he brought back much more so than he had in the first place, was his was the sense that your product should be beautiful. Dean Jackson And nobody in technology. Dan Sullivan nobody in technology did before or since has ever placed the emphasis on beautiful and ease of use and ease of use. And you know and you know, I mean, and certainly Microsoft, never twig to that, even when they saw what they were up against. They never, they never saw. Why would you make things beautiful? You know why they know right it just adds to the cost of development and everything else. Why would you do that? But if you don't have that sense? But he zeroed in on the artistic market where beauty is a big deal. Style, beauty, you know, elegance, you know all those things. That's really not part of the technological brain. You know most part and free, because they're mostly in. Yeah yeah. And you know they, he got rid of computer. You know it was just Apple. And then they came up with their long range purpose, which was we make beautiful technology that people love using. I said, oh God, that's a forever. That's a forever purpose. When you're not bound in by any particular technology, you're not bound in by any particular period of time, You're not bound in by any particular target market is we make a beautiful technology that people love using. I said, God, you can live with that forever. Dean Jackson I mean, if you'd had that 4,000 years. Dan Sullivan If you had that 4,000 years ago, it'd be working. It'd be working today. Dean Jackson That's so great. I love that. That's a great thing, you know. Dan Sullivan Yeah, so what have we covered today? Dean Jackson What territory have we covered? What have we mapped out in? Dan Sullivan claimed as our own. Well, I think that we've mapped out. Dean Jackson Like I'm looking at these, you know I was fascinated by the whole. You know by the all these VCR collaborations you know, like looking at how Mr Beast, but just looking at the distinction between Feastables and Mr Beast Burger and the precariousness of kind of you know being the capability that then brings the idea to the reach. That's kind of precarious, you know. But I was looking. I was just thinking about like some of the clients that I'm working with now that are you know, and people that I've met recently that have these amazing capability things. You know, like I was. When I heard about Feastable, I was thinking about our friend and FreeZone member, shahid in India, who makes all the biscuits and confection. Dan Sullivan No same. Dean Jackson Capability Pakistan. Yeah, pakistan yeah yeah, he would know the difference. Of course he would. Yeah, yeah, and I should have known the difference. I've spoken with him, had joined with him, but there's a guy who's like that, the capability that he has, you know, just ready for he's Well it's really interesting. Dan Sullivan He's just started a new collaboration in Italy. Okay, using his know-how. You know they brought from that market and now he's looking for the United States. And I said you don't want to go to a, after you've done Italy, you don't want to do another European country. And he says no it's not the US. And I said great you know, yeah, that's great, right, right an impact builder and what you're looking for and and everything. Well, I think the big thing is the custom designing of the future. You know, and that's my use of the fast filter tool. I'm sort of cussed. I said, you know, I'm picky about going forward. I'm picky about, yeah, and I said, does this check the ideation box? Does this check the you know the, you know maximizer and the others? Does this check? Does it check all the boxes? And I'm not buying at all, you know, I'm just not getting involved if it doesn't check all the boxes. Right, you know, but what it does, it makes something that's sort of reactive and passive, makes it into active and kind of aggressive. Because, then you can go into any situation and say you know I'm, I know exactly what I'm looking for, and if it's not there, I'll know about it. I'll know it almost instantly. Dean Jackson Yeah, and that's an interesting thing. I look at the maximizer, one of the realizations that I'm having about me and about my you know ideation and my in the widget world, my discernment and invention that those are best suited to tap into an existing engine. Like I look at the biggest impacts that I've had and been able to join something you know be an accelerant, a rocket booster to something that is always. Yeah, already exists, yeah, yeah, without me having to be an operator, because that's where my strengths fall down, you know. Dan Sullivan Yeah Well, I've always called you the marketing Buddha and as far as I know Buddha didn't keep office hours. That's right. That's right. Dean Jackson Yeah. Dan Sullivan Yeah, you just enlightened the future. That's all you do. You enlighten the future, yeah, yeah, that's what that marketing strategist for Bud Light was doing. She was enlightening the future. She was going to elevate the brand and enlighten the future of their oh boy of their future. I said well, you certainly got a result. Dean Jackson Amen Holy cow. Dan Sullivan I mean this is yeah and anyway. And a lot of people are saying that's a debt grant, it's not retrievable, from where they put it with one camp. Pretty amazing, yeah. Yeah, it is because I was in the local. We have a thing called Jug City here which kind of tells you that it certainly defines the customers here Jug. City, you know Anyway and I was in there and I was in line. I came in and I just checked because people had their purchases in their hands. I went in and then I came out again and I saw 10 different kinds of beers being bought, but not Bud Light. And this is Canada. This isn't even the United. States and everything like that. But, boy, you know you don't want to get caught in a crossfire favoring one side, you know. Dean Jackson I know that. Dan Sullivan And they just, she just took it into the zone. And now the former CEO of Bud Light is saying the president CEO of Bud Light should just resign. He should just resign because he's been an abysmal failure and he was hired to take care of situations like this. He was hired not to get into situations like this. And now right but at least be able to extract him in Really dense. But I bet this is being studied in all the business schools. Dean Jackson Oh, man, talk about, yeah, one of the amazing things, just like this amazing story. You know, yeah, such an, I can't even I think I'm. I wonder what other examples of that. You know, can't even think of anything that. Dan Sullivan No, I can't think of a single. I mean Target had a little whiff of that, but they got out of it pretty soon because they were, and you know this is the third rail of the subway. You don't touch the subject, you know. Dean Jackson I guess it's a little bit back to when the Ford Pintos were exploding again. Yeah. Dan Sullivan Yeah, nobody would touch up Ford Pinto or. Dean Jackson That would ruin the driving brand right. Dan Sullivan You know I mean we live in a million times more viral communications world now than we did back then. And you know I mean I go whoa. And now Dylan Mulvaney, the actress in the situation, is bashing Bud Light for nuts sticking up for her, you know and everything. Wow, wow, wow she's saying we're done with you. We're done with you. So the very target audience they were going out Unbelievable. Yeah, I mean that's yeah, so that qualifies as a bad guess and a bad bet. Well, there you go, Okay. Dean Jackson Dan. Dan Sullivan Yeah, but you know, you know you should kind of do it in a 10-person focus group before you do it live on the Internet. Dean Jackson Oh my goodness, nobody might have been able to say, hey, wait a minute. What about this? Dan Sullivan Yeah, why don't we get some of these backward, out-of-touch people who happen to be the number one consumer of our product, in a room and show them our new idea? Dean Jackson Unbelievable yeah. Dan Sullivan But anyway it makes it for an interesting, entertaining world. Yeah. Dean Jackson Well, you have an amazing Are you having another week at the cottage? Dan Sullivan Yeah, and I'll be available. Next Sunday I'll be in Chicago next. Sunday Okay. So yeah, we're going in on Saturday because Joe and Eunice are going to personality with us, so we'll see you again on Saturday night, oh nice Anyway that's good, yeah, so 11 o'clock, your time.

Dan Sullivan Mr Jackson, you're in full voice There we go. You are in full voice today for Welcome to Cloudlandia. Dean Jackson That is exactly right, and it's been a great week in Cloudlandia and, more particularly, a great week in Deanlandia. Okay, that's the reason. Dan Sullivan That's the reason that Dean Jackson creates between the mainland and Cloudlandia. A lot of people don't know that, but there's a secret territory between these two worlds. Dean Jackson That's a secret territory. I love it, and there's a secret handshake to access. I know it's a funny thing. One of the. Dan Sullivan Secret tattoo. There's a secret tattoo. There's caps, t-shirts and mugs. That's right. Dean Jackson That's so funny, but not bumper stickers. Dan Sullivan But not bumper stickers. Dean Jackson No bumper stickers. In Deanlandia I've had an interesting, I'll tell you. I mentioned to you the distinction that I discovered between less screen time and more dean time And I successfully lowered my screen time by 29% this week. Dan Sullivan What specifically did you go after? Dean Jackson I spent more time. Everything that I do, i get done in what I call 50-minute focus finders, and the basics of the idea are that I've had ADD and I would always look at, even with the best intentions. I would want to do something, but I would find it difficult to focus or to do what I say I'm going to do without any supervision or accountability. So I started saying to myself listen, is it true that I can't focus, and is there any situation in my life where I can? And I immediately started thinking about golf And I thought I can play golf for four or five hours in a row with no problem. I can do that all the time. I can go to movies. I love going to movies And I don't have a problem with that. That's a couple of hours. And I started looking at what are the characteristics of what's going on with golf that makes it so easy for me to keep my word on that or to focus on that for an extended period of time. And it developed into an acronym for golf, which is all the characteristics of why I'm able to focus on that particular activity. And I thought, ok, well, first of all, the G is there's a goal, and a goal. I'd see the goal as a decision that I've made, the decision that this is what I'm going to do. I put it in the calendar. I'm going to play golf on Friday afternoon And it's in my calendar And I work all the way around it, right, everything. It's there as an anchor. Then O is for an optimal environment And a golf course is the optimal environment to play golf. It's set up perfectly for the task. You've got all the holes are already laid out. You start on the first tee. You kind of get on that. Ned Hollamall would probably refer to it as a bobsled run. You start at hole number one and you work your way all the way through to the 18th hole And then you're done. There are limited distractions. Is the L meaning there's not no internet? no, especially if you leave your phone in your bag or in your locker, There's limited distractions. You're able to stay on track. You've got all the equipment, everything you need, right there in your bag, in your golf bag, and F is a fixed time. And so I started thinking okay, well, how can I apply those elements to getting the things that I want to get done? that might be, you know, not golf the proactive things that I want to get done, and so I came up with this idea of a 50 minute focus finder And I would start blocking two hour blocks in my calendar And in those two hours I could do two 50 minute blocks with a 20 minute break in between. So it would be 50, 20, 50, and that could be two hours. And so I started thinking okay, i'm going to block off this 50 minute focus for this two hour block. I'm going to establish what's the goal for this What is it that I'm going to do? And then what would be the optimal environment for this And so, for instance, so if I'm thinking about, if brainstorm, my new book, is the goal, then I can, i would set aside the time. The optimal environment for that is in my comfy, on my comfy white couch in my courtyard, with my light, with I'd have some water. I've got my remarkable, i've got my. You know, everything is set up for what I'm going to need to accomplish that limited distractions. I'll leave my phone in the house and not have it here as a distraction, because I want the you know distraction free environment And otherwise you know if it's dinging or flashing or there it's tempting to get distracted on that. And the fixed timeframe I have a timer. I have a visual 50 minute timer, that kind of I can see where, where I am in that, without having to use my phone as the timer because it's too tempting for me, and so that 50 minutes goes and I'm able to get into a flow and do what it is that I'm going to do, and then at 50 minutes the alarm dings and I can get up and move around and go get some water, maybe a cup of coffee, get, look at my phone, you know, do whatever I need to do, and then, after the 20, minutes. I come back, set the timer for 50 minutes and do it again, and that kind of thing. I find that, you know, brainstorming often leads to outlining and that, will you know, lead to whatever the next step is, but I can always set up what the goal of the of the outcome is. You know, like one of the great examples, i never have a problem focusing on Welcome to Cloud Landia. I've had ingrained golf outing for about you know I set it in my calendar. I know where I'm going to be at the appointed time. I've got an optimal environment. I've got all the tools that I need. I have my remarkable you know, just doodling and taking notes as we're going. I'm out in the courtyard, i've got a nice bottle of water here And it's effortless effortless. Well, I think, you're. Dan Sullivan What's interesting about what you've just described is that you're taking a great habit and a great activity from the mainland and you're moving it into Cloud Landia projects. Dean Jackson I agree. And because that's where my access portal. Yeah. Dan Sullivan My sense is that if you look at the development of anything new in the world going back for as long as we have history, the biggest breakthroughs is where somebody develops, takes something that's really well developed in an old territory and moves it into a new territory. Okay, yeah, and I mean right now we can use the terms mainland and Cloud Landia, because we're in a current old territory, new territory, piece of history. You know the historical period. But it would have been the same with the development of the industrial technological breakthroughs. You know, with telegraph, you know telephone, you know internal combustion engine, assembly line, you know assembly line, you know the whole thing that the people who really make the money are the people who have the courier service between the two worlds. Dean Jackson That's a great outcome. I mean, when you think about that especially, it's funny. I was in the reading in the Wall Street Journal yesterday. There was. I get the print version on Saturday or for the weekend version of the Wall Street Journal And yesterday there was a hard-to-call newspaper in the world, by the way. Dan Sullivan Best newspaper in the world Saturday Yeah, yeah, so in yesterday I don't know whether it was Yeah, yesterday finest newspaper in the world hands down. There's no other newspaper as good as the Wall Street Saturday edition. Dean Jackson Well, there we go. That was your recommendation. By the way, about a year ago I started getting the physical version, but there's an article about entitled Mastering Your Mental Images. Can Make. Your Day. It's a new psychological technique aimed to use your imagination and all of your senses, overcome trauma and achieve goals. Did you read that article? Dan Sulivan Yes, I did. Dean Jackson Yes, i did. Okay, well, there you go. Very. Yeah, that's an interesting I mean, it's not so that sort of breakthrough information, but it's more supporting information that really shows what you think about. You. Bring about That's kind of. Dan Sullivan Well, it's cheaper than Adderall, you know. Dean Jackson Yeah. Dan Sullivan Right, right, yeah, well, i'm on a different path right now that you might be interested in. So I'm in a 12-week program with a sleep psychologist. Dean Jackson Okay. Dan Sullivan Okay, his name is Michael Bruce. Do you know, michael? Dean Jackson I do. Yeah, we found him on I Love Marketing He's yeah pretty good, well, i have nothing to say then? Well, no, tell me I want to hear all about it because It's all been said. Dan Sullivan Oh, that's so funny Between you and Joe and Michael. What else is there to say? But anyway, I was recommended him by Paramededia, who was my My Canyon Ranch go-to doctor for 10, 12 years, and then he's gone out on his own because he's spent too much time with me And be around me. You turned him into an entrepreneur. You're going to go out on your own if you're around me too much. Dean Jackson You're going to get infected. You're going to get infected. Dan Sullivan Yep. It's contagious, it's contagious. Yeah, anyway, one of my goals. I'm working with David Hasse, who's I don't know if you've met David or not, but he's in the pre-zone Yeah. And he's absolutely our number one overall doctor who is right at the center of all of our medical network, And his specialty is everything that improves the brain, the function of the brain. And so to start the program with him which was last August 2022, I set a goal that by 2024, August of 2024, that I would be off all prescription drugs. So that would include sleep medicines, Adderall and blood pressure medicines. So I have three big ones, And so along the way, I've been looking for ways of getting off the sleep medicine and Parmdedia, who really got me into having CPAP at night, which has been great. I've been doing it for 12 years. I've missed eight nights in 12 years. I really benefited from the technology. First of all, the machine does all the work at night. I don't even have to bother breathing. Dean Jackson It controls your breathing, at least the breathing in part. Dan Sullivan You get that. Dean Jackson Yeah, but it automatically. Dan Sullivan And it lowers your blood pressure at night because you're not working this hard. And so anyway, that was great And along the way I've acquired sleep medicines which I've enjoyed Lunefta and Sonata. But the tests that Dr Assy David Assy does with me indicated that there's a long-term negative impact of these drugs. They have a neurological effects over a long period of time. And he said I know what your lifetime goals are as far as how long you want to live. I understand your goals for where you want to be 10 years ahead, 20 years ahead. And he said if we can take these pharmaceutical things out of your system at a certain point, that'd be good. And I said, good, well, that's my goal. Two years of all prescription drugs And I've made great progress. The one that was. In order to get off the prescription drugs. What I have to do is change my sleep habits. Okay, because those drugs, which are the sleep medicines at night and the Adrol during the day, totally undermine your ability to get deep sleep, which is the restorative. It's the restorative sleep. So and I'm happy for my relationship with these drugs I'm not dissing the drugs. And already I can see some nervousness on the part of the drugs that whereas they thought this was going to be a lifetime relationship, i've kind of put them on the clock And yeah. So, anyway, we started three weeks ago and he's got really, really it's a wonderful coaching program. From the standpoint. You know me being a coach, i kind of understand a really good coaching program when I see it, and so what he starts you off at is that he starts gradually depriving you of sleep. Okay, so it starts at so it started off at 10 o'clock, where we go to go to bed at 10 and we wake up at five. Okay, oh my, God. And that's less sleep than I am talking about. I'm talking about in bed time here you know, 10 to 10 to five And then about two weeks in he moved it to 1015. And it means you can't go to bed before 1015. Okay. So, 1015, but you always get up at five, and his ultimate goal is that, regardless of when you go to sleep at night, you always get up at five, because then your circadian rhythms can kick in and you know and they've got. You know, from five till the evening, they've got 12 hours. They've got at least you know they've got 12, 13 hours for your natural sleep hormones to kick in and you get sleepy at the end of the day. So anyway this. So is that difference. Dean Jackson Like do you normally, have you normally? gotten up at five, or is that new for you? Dan Sullivan No, we ordinarily go to bed whenever but we always make sure to be in bed more than eight hours. Dean Jackson Okay, so that was our room, so sometimes you wake up at seven or eight or whatever. That'd be late. Dan Sullivan That would be late Okay. Yeah, yeah, but usually we're hitting bed at around eight, 39 at night. Dean Jackson Okay, and then okay, right. Dan Sullivan And then we put both. babs and I are morning people, so we're not we're not depriving ourselves. And then whenever we go to bed, then we put the alarm for eight hours, or more than eight hours, to get up in the morning. Okay, so that's a yeah, but it might be any time between eight o'clock and 10 o'clock that we would go to bed, but then when we got up in the morning, it would be determined by by hours later Yeah. By like sound, you know so anyway, so it was a real strain in the first week or so. What we're going to do next hour, hour and a half at night, you know you're sort of twiddling your thumbs and you're saying what could I do? What could I do? And then, before you go to bed, three hours before, you can't have any alcohol. So no alcohol within the last three hours, no food within the last two hours and no water within the last hour. And because the you're asking the digestive system to stay awake you know and do certain things. And so anyway, so long story. I'm just getting the general context here of what happened. But halfway through the second week I said I wonder if I so I take two Adderall's. I take a timer at least Adderall, first thing when I get up in the morning, which is 10 megs, and then, depending on the day and what's going on in the day, i'll usually have one around two o'clock in the afternoon. Okay, because I'm I'm starting to fade during that time and bang, I take the Adderall, and you know. And I'm the immediate release, yeah, yeah. So I experimented. I said I wonder if I can go through the afternoon, get through the day. And I did it once and it was just before a meeting with him, so I'd have weekly meetings with him And I he said, well, let's do an experiment, let's see if you can only have one day during the next week when you use the afternoon Adderall, because you've already indicated that you're kind of ambitious here. So let's see if we can do it. And I made it through the whole week. So I like and it's been 15 days now, i haven't had my afternoon Adderall and it's gone. It's gone, you know, because it's not an addiction. Dean Jackson It's not an addiction. Dan Sullivan It's a dependency and there's a big addiction You know, you know, it's just a habit, just a habit. It's not an addiction that has hold of your nervous system. So so he says that that's really great. And then I take two meds. At night, i take a lunesta, which is like a five hour, five hour knockout drug. And then there's Sonata and usually at the five hour four hour I get up and I do a fundamental human activity I pee. Okay, Yeah, Yeah. Dean Jackson Remember whenever you're planning to remember. Dan Sullivan When you're planning the future of the human race, make sure that there's always time to pee. And so I'll pop Sonata at that point. And that's fast acting, and I go back to sleep. So this past week I've kept the Sonata. So instead of taking the full dose, i break it in half and I just take half, and it's worked. It's worked. So I've gotten seven days in where I've just done half and he said okay, you're going down vacation now next week, see if he can get rid of the Sonata. So I have. But the big thing, dean, is we have to do a complete diary every day. It's a seven day diary and then we have to send it to him before our next meeting with him. And then he goes and looks and he said you know pretty good. He says you're, you'll probably be about four weeks into the five weeks into the program and you will have eliminated the afternoon Adderall and the middle of the night Sonata. He says that's, that's quite amazing, amazing progress, yeah. Dean Jackson But I like. Dan Sullivan I like the structure and he's very adaptable. I mean, he's got his goals He wants you to get, he wants you to have the habit of getting up at five o'clock in the morning. But I told them Friday, i met with him on Friday, just a couple of days ago, and I said you know, you've reintroduced me to a pleasure that I have not experienced, i bet, in 20 years. And what's that? It's the feeling of being sleepy. Dean Jackson Hmm, oh, interesting, so you were using the, the, the lunesta is the one that was. kind of that was the signal or whatever. right, the behavioral yeah signal to get sleepy Yeah, and so. Dan Sullivan I was taking upper the Adderall is the upper and the lunastons and outer are downers. So I was never sleepy. Dean Jackson I would just be, i would just be up and then I was down chemically, you know what's so funny if you say those words, and Joe and I had Richard Vigory on our marketing podcast and he talked about his daily routine of you know, two uppers in the morning and two downers in the evening, and that's where two cups of coffee in the morning and two glasses of wine in the evening. He called them as uppers and downers. Yeah, rhythm right right? Dan Sullivan Well, Richard can do anything he wants at this stage. Yeah, richard's in, i think he's in his, he's in his 90s, you know. I mean he's, you know he's beyond. He's beyond warranty refund. I'll tell you. That's so funny. Yeah, he's a he's a yeah, he's really in the history of the last 60, 70 years of politics in the United States, yeah, And the person, people most responsible for establishing a solid conservative mindedness and conservative voting population. Richard would be in one of the top five of all the people. Dean Jackson I think you're absolutely right. Yeah, You said something interesting about your. You've developed the routine that when you get up to pee, you take the sonesta and that's your cue to go back and have another round of sleep And I may have no issue. I heard I heard someone say you know, if you're gonna tell yourself a lie, you may as well make it a good one. And I started. I started thinking that well, not only that, you might will make, you might will make money on it. You know, if you're gonna, that's called marketing. Dan Sullivan That's called marketing. Dean Jackson I would have the same thing again. I would wake up at five o'clock, for instance, to pee, And then sometimes I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep, right, Because then my mind would start like already you know, working on the things I'm working on for the day or whatever. But I started telling myself the the better story. I would wake up at four often 445, 450 is around the time, usually right. And so if I wake up and it's that, i smile and I go pee and I'm saying, like I'm creating this story, that this is great because I'm gonna have the two best hours of sleep of my night. Right now I still have two hours left for the greatest sleep And I started telling myself that story and, wouldn't you know it, I ended up. I had the best two hours of sleep after telling myself that story And I thought that's an interesting thing where that matches up with this article we were talking about in the Wall. Street Journal mastering your mental images can make your day And I thought, if I would really emotionally get you know, I would create joy out of waking up at 442 because I knew that I was gonna, with certainty, have the two best hours of the night. Dan Sullivan Yeah well, what you've created, mr Jackson, is a self milking placebo. Dean Jackson Exactly right, yeah, but I wonder if you tried to play. I mean, this would be interesting to try replacing your Celesta with that story. Dan Sullivan But Sonata, Sonata is the genus of Sonata And it's not called that on the prescription because it's generic. But anyway, anyway. Sure, i mean we do that. I mean as entrepreneurs we have a natural gift for this, You know, I mean, you know. I think this is a commitment to something you don't have the capability for yet. Right right right, yeah, you're committing to a future jump in, you know, in performance and which will be a new capability. But when you commit, you don't have the capability And that requires courage. You know that requires courage to and, yeah, it's an interesting. You know it's an interesting, but you know more and more. I think that whether you're happy or not happy in the 21st century is the mind games that you have learned to play with yourself. Dean Jackson Yes. Dean Jackson I think that's really. That's one of the, that's one of the core found. Imagine if you applied yourself imagining this outcome. Dan Sullivan Yeah, yeah, you just weren't going to apply yourself to her goals. Dean Jackson Right. That's right. Dan Sullivan Yeah, I can, Yeah, and I think entrepreneurs are asked in you know the early years, and especially when they're in the school system, to apply themselves to some other people's goals for them. And at a certain point they say well, i don't get paid for that, i don't get paid for applying myself to other people's goals, that's right. Why don't I just come up with my own goals and apply myself to them? Okay? And I bet doing it my way lets me make 100 times more lifetime income than the teacher would. Dean Jackson Yeah, right. Dan Sullivan I'll never make any money that way. Dean Jackson Yeah. Dan Sullivan Yeah, i mean to a certain extent there's such a disconnect now And Peter Diamonis and I talked about it on Friday that a 18-year-old today anywhere in North America probably elsewhere that if you get a 10-week course in welding, you know and you get a certificate at the end of the first year, you'll make $60,000 here. Yeah, because there's such a demand now that we get welders into the reindustrialization and re-manufacturing of North America right now. All requires welding somewhere along the line. And meanwhile, if you go to four years of university, you know, regardless of the university, you probably didn't make any money during the four years, or minimal money during the four years, and probably you're running some sort of debt at the four years And meanwhile the 18-year-old who went into welding could be making $80,000, $90,000, $100,000 by the time you graduate, and then you've learned for four years things that don't make as much as a welder. Dean Jackson Yes, that's exactly right. Dan Sullivan And I think there's a shift because the incoming freshman class in the US, the difference between 2021 and 2022 was four million fewer freshmen coming into the first year of college. That's a big number Wow is that right. Dean Jackson right compared to how many normally come into the freshman. Dan Sullivan Well, four million more. Dean Jackson Oh yeah, but I mean that sounds like it couldn't be. Dean Jackson Well, it's a big number. I mean there's a lot of college freshmen. Yeah, it's a big number. No, no it would be. Dan Sullivan probably I'll have to check the numbers, but it would be, somewhere, and then it would be at least 25% at the very least to be 25% was missing because there's a disconnect about what they're learning and what they know gets paid for in the marketplace. You don't have to have a PhD to know the difference between what you get paid for, and I think parents are seeing this and I think the teenagers are seeing this and the words passing through the ranks it's a crack for the most part, going to university for four years is a crack And they say, yeah, but there's a socializing process that goes on that's ultimately very, very valuable. And I said, yeah, but your notion of how I should be socialized doesn't agree with my notion of how I should be socialized. Wow yeah. Dean Jackson That's something. when you look at that, you'll want me to apply myself to mindsets I don't agree to. Dean Sullivan I don't agree with. Dean Jackson That's why you are in the center. Imagine if you applied yourself. Dean Sullivan Yeah, that's all part of it. Dean Jackson I think that's an interesting thing, that kids, or we as people, that you are. An integral part of this is that it's. I heard someone parsing out the words of row, row, row your boat. That's the secret to life is row, row, row your boat And gently down the stream. You know that's really the key to life. Not in the hokey pokey, i guess right, one number one. Dan Sullivan it's your boat. Number two. you're going downstream. that upstream, that's exactly right. Yeah, not much growing required to go downstream, right. Dean Jackson That's kind of. I think if you could argue that, saying you know, going in your unique ability, you know and row row. Row is to continue actually doing something. It's not just float, float, float your way down the stream, it's row, row, row. You're actually doing something, you know. Dan Sullivan Yeah, it doesn't say you're the only one rowing either. Dean Jackson Right, that's true, that's right. Get everybody on board. Yeah, it's so funny, i love other things like that. Dan Sullivan Well, you know I mean. The interesting thing is, this always happens when you have the sudden emergence of a new territory and it's creating opportunities. It's creating wealth opportunities, achievement opportunities, you know, and freedom opportunities than the old territory, did you know? But this happens repeatedly, i mean over the centuries, over the millennia. There's always the old territory and the new territory, and then the people who make the money are the people who can learn on both sides and create an entirely new value creation proposition that lets other people make the transition. Yeah, for example, you and Joe doing I Love Marketing. Well, this would have been meaningless probably 30 years ago. Yeah. Dean Jackson I mean, there was no there was no capability. Dan Sullivan There was no capability for people to take action and get results with what you were recommending, that's true. Dean Jackson That's what's encouraging, that's kind of the, you know, when I was really looking at the 25-year framework and putting it in perspective with my plus three to that three years to get to 60 and then my next 25-year chapter starting at 60, that 28 years I started looking back 28 years ago and realized every single thing that is the biggest things right now weren't even in existence then And so encouraging when you think about, you know, the richest money, the thing the richest probably five or six people in the world weren't even didn't even start on their built all their wealth in that same period of time, And so that's kind of encouraging you know. Yeah, i like that a lot And that's kind of a. That's a. So you realize well what a nice meaty period of time that is. And of course you know, looking back, there's no way that we could have predicted 25 years ago what, or 28 years ago what a podcast was, or that everybody you know you'd have an instant and available access to so much of the world's information like that. You know it wasn't even wasn't even a thing. We were definitely mainland oriented Yeah. Dan Sullivan There's no question. I mean, how many coach clients have podcasts, even though? I've you know they've been listening to my podcast, they've been listening to your podcast and but hardly any of them are you know, I think it comes down to the that it's a lack of They don't have the confidence to do it. But the only way out of no confidence is to make a commitment that you're going to get the capability. Okay, you know, by this time next year I'm going to launch a podcast series. Now, who's the how? who helps me do that? Yeah? Dean Jackson Yeah. Dan Sullivan Because you don't have to do it. I mean, there's all sorts of talent around in the world who know. I mean there's two million podcast series as of January this year and probably a lot more six months later. And all I did was start in with Joe and get the ropes And I said well, i think I can create another series. And you know and that was with Peter Diamandis I've had a couple of years with Joe to get the feel for it And we started with Peter Diamandis and you know it's great, you know it's great. And I have you know I have seven, you know seven regular podcasts, including our own here. Yeah, I mean it was like we were having lunch at Los Solect in Toronto And you know I brought up the idea of that procrastination is actually a form of wisdom And you said we should do a podcast on this. And I said and I said when will we start? He said what are you doing tomorrow? And tomorrow we had a complete podcast. And all I had to do was make a phone call And that was it, you know, and we had a podcast And you know, but podcasts are full-fledged cloud-landing capabilities. Dean Jackson Yeah, yeah, this is. I've had a great you know. You look at those, the taking action, the just doing the things I had to, thanks to my you know, more deemed on less screen time focus. Over the last couple of weeks I've had a really productive couple of weeks I was in the middle of. I already started a lead generation workshop that I do by Zoom And the focus, for weeks and we focus on setting up a lead generation system for your business And we do four Tuesdays And I decided to go through the process with the people who I'm going through the workshop with to demonstrate. So one of the things that we talk about is, once we identify who your ideal target audience is, who's your ideal, your ideal prospect, then we start thinking about what would be the book that they would most definitely want to have in their, in their possession, in their collection. And so we go through a whole process of identifying, go through a book title formulas workshop where I, you know, describe the different types of book titles And have them do the exercise of creating what I call a word palette, where they think of all of the words and phrases and hopes and dreams and fears you know, all the sound bites that are going on in somebody's head, and so one of the title formulas is what we call a just do it title, which is it does what it says And you're going to do. What it says on the cover, like stop your divorce or think and grow rich is, are the types of action. That's what I'm going to do compelling offers, compelling offers, and so yeah so I wrote a site, i did the workshop, i did the process with them And I created a book, a book called convert more leads at what to say to prospects so they all convert themselves. And had a nice cover of imagery of a guy on a boat on a lake and he's had his hands behind his head and the fish are just jumping in his back. That's the, that's the imagery that we did. So I created that as the cover And then in the next seven days I created the whole book. I did the reminder of being when we were in London, you know, having that conversation. I went through the whole process of brainstorm where I brainstormed all the content and set it up into the chapters and I made a great outline. And I then went into the studio and I recorded what was essentially the audiobook version, i think. Say chapter one, begin with the end in mind, and then I would talk through my talking points for chapter one, and then I said chapter two and the title of chapter two, and so I created all the raw, all the raw audio by just talking about what I wanted to say. I had that recorded And then I sent I didn't do it, but one at the studio, sent the audio to someone on my team, jack, who then took the audio, got a transcript, set up the Google doc, did a first pass edit to turn it into you know, clean it up for written kind of format, and sent it back to me. And then I was able to go in and in a period of 50 minute, focus finders edit the written transcript into the finished form of the book And it's nice. It's a great outcome. And all the while I was doing that, i was already running ads for it. I set up the Facebook ads and generated now 293 ads of leads of people who want the book for about $3 each. You know it's a whole thing. It was such a great like during the process to actually go through with people and demonstrate what can be, what can be done. You know, yeah. Dan Sullivan Well, you know the, you know, you know how to create the book. You know I mean the idea, do you? have a copy, yet You're going to run off 20 copies and send them out to your friends so you can get the, of course. Dean Jackson Yeah. Dan Sullivan Yeah, Send them up, because I'll you know consume it and absolutely. Dean Jackson Yeah. Dan Sullivan I'll tell you five or 10 things that reminds me of them. Perfect, i love it. Dean Jackson Send it back to you That becomes version one and then with the input and the extension I can make version two and. but it's a nice meaty book. It's really good, really good content I'm happy with that. Dan Sullivan Yeah what's the idea? So I got version. Yeah, And I tell people, you know you can call 90 minute book and you can get a first draft of your book, get 20 or 30 copies and get it out to 20 or 30 people and then make your readers part of the design team. Dean Jackson That's exactly the whole purpose. That's exactly it, yeah. Yeah. Dan Sullivan People work for five years five years writing a book and they never, let a potential reader. First of all, they're not even clear about who the potential reader is. And you know, and my you know, i always start with one person as my potential reader and I do sort of a DOS in my mind about what the dangers, opportunities and strengths of this one person and I write the book and I do it. you know I do do that. People say, well, I want the book to be forever, and I said, well, I have a different approach, I want to be for one person. Right, because if I nail that, if I nail that they, then you know, the one person I want is a, an entrepreneur who is already successful, who's talented, who's ambitious, and from now on, they want 10 times more freedom in their lives Freedom of money, freedom of time, money, relationship and purpose. I said I just write the book for that person. Dean Jackson Well, you know, about? Dan Sullivan what? about school teachers? I said, not interested What about government bureaucrats Not interested. What about corporate employees? Not interested. What about non-profit organization? I said I can't even say the two words to myself. It depresses me. Dean Jackson Right, exactly. We have doctors who have non-profits. Dan Sullivan We have doctors who have non-profits And they say, well, can I, as a non-profit organization, be in your future? I said I can't even allow those two words to be said And I'm a workshop of mine, i said non-profit in the entrepreneurial world means something totally, totally different. For you know, i didn't get that. Can you try again? No, siri, siri. You know what Siri's main saying to me is? I didn't quite get that. Dean Jackson I didn't quite get that. Dan Sullivan I didn't quite get that. They say well, of course you are, you're not a person. A person would get it, You're just an algorithm and not a very pleasant one to us, with that Never been useful. I've always been a bother, so that's my take on it. Yeah, anyway, i want to tell you a little project we've got. You know, joe Stothe, do you, did you? Yeah Well, joe came to Genius while you were there by Zoom, and he gave a really great presentation on what his AI newsletter does, and so I had about eight things I was looking for at that meeting and he checked off seven of the boxes and I told him so. And he says and I said so, why don't we get going? And so we have. So we've sent out, we've sent out three of his AI newsletters and, just for the listeners here at the newsletter, that writes itself. So you put in some input or prompts and that is that your thought leaders that you follow in the world and you have your, you let them take advantage of things that you have that are already out in the internet And they put together a newsletter and I liked the content. I didn't like the layout. So I put in a lot of input about design characteristics. That would be consistent with coach stuff And we have certain design roles for everything that we do and I just applied them to the newsletter and we have a project manager, linda Spencer, who is overall a haunch of this, and we sent it out. So in the first three episodes first episode, we got a 56 open rate. Second one, we got a 62 open rate. Third one, we got a 66 open rate. So that's the point to keep getting the open rate. Dean Jackson Yeah, where do I find up for this? Dan Sullivan Yeah, future, future, future scope. So just type in and, and it's a wonderful thing, and so it goes out, and then it analyzes all the feedback from the first article and then it designs the second one, which we scrutinize from an editorial standpoint, and make adjustments, and it goes back out. But more and more, what it's joining in Cloudlandia is who you want to be talking to with the? who you want to be talking to, what do they want to be hearing from you? Okay, so it keeps refining that the message is right for the, for the mainer, but yeah, really fun. Dean Jackson I knew about future scope and daily AI, but where do. I find up for your your newsletter. Dan Sullivan Spark. It's called Spark. We'll send it out to you. I don't, i can't do that, you know I've got a specialized who, but we'll send it out. send it out to you. Dean Jackson And, by the way, great Yeah. Dan Sullivan You're. You're welcome as a columnist because all the people I mean I have a. You know I'll have a one or two sections on the newsletter, but the other four or five are coach. They're free zone, free zone clients. Dean Jackson Yeah, yeah, love it, love it. Dan Sullivan And you can, you can put in, you know you can. For example, you can talk about your new book. You know, brainstorm, brainstorm. Yeah, so you can give a interview, you know, you can give an advance notice of what brainstorm is all about and just put it in as a blog and we'll just put it right in the newsletter. Okay, perfect, i like it. Dean Jackson Well, this is all very exciting, yeah. I like the things that can do where you don't have to do, the stuff you know where you're using well, think about dailyai as a whole. Dan Sullivan Think about producing a newsletter every two weeks, yeah, where you're starting from scratch every two weeks and you don't even have any sense how the ones you've sent out already are actually landing. You know, yeah, the only difference between a bad newsletter idea and a good newsletter is your rate of open and click through. Dean Jackson That's true, yeah, and respond Yeah. Dan Sullivan There's feedback, you know, and so. so, anyway, anyway, and I wonder what Vladimir Putin is doing today. Dean Jackson I wonder the same thing. Dan Sullivan He's got a lot of material for food of thought over the last five or six days, you know. Dean Jackson Amen Yeah. Dan Sullivan I mean they got within 125 miles, you know they had, you know, a couple of hundred in our armed carriers and that, and they got within 125 miles of Moscow and that's serious business, you know. And it goes to go the other way and the war is coming to them. So anyway, but you know it's easier to not start a war than it is to start a war, because once you start a war the enemy has a vote, you know, and anyway. But but this is a lot. He did three. He does really great YouTube. You know five to eight YouTube and he did three of them yesterday, yesterday just giving you a structure on, you know the potential uprising, probably the best military force in the Russian army, which is the Wagner group, and the head of Wagner says you know we're. We've decided that the entire military leadership in Russia is incompetent and, worse than that, they're criminally corrupt and we cannot possibly win this war unless we get rid of the top military leadership and you know demonstrating words, So follow me This way, yeah. So anyway, we're. Anyway. It's interesting. But Peter D Amonus said that he felt that Russia was collapsing as a country and that this is you know. They were supposed to have the second most powerful military in the world and it's debatable whether they would qualify to be in the top 10. And you know so lots of things, and you know so anyhow what a wonderful world, what a wonderful world we live in. Dean Jackson Did I hear you say you're going on vacation. Now It's starting. Yeah, Let's be. Let's be cottage time by now. Dan Sullivan Yeah, but from the cottage. next Sunday, if you're free, i will call you. Dean Jackson I am free. Yes, i would hope I'm going to play that Awesome. I'm very excited about that. Yeah. Dan Sullivan Yeah, yeah So that'd be good And we'll learn more about your 50, your 50, you know your 50 men Yeah. Because you had already created Jackson Jackson times, which are 10 minutes, which are 10. Dean Jackson Jack's units. Dan Sullivan Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think this is a threat to the US dollar as the reserve currency, but I think it's substantially good for you. Dean Jackson I agree, that's what. Dean Sullivan I'm most useful reserve currency. Dean Jackson That's right, and I have it in abundance. Dan Sullivan Yeah. Dean Jackson I was talking about that. Dan Sullivan Because do you see the dollars not going to be reserve currency? And I said, well, whoever replaces it? make sure you have the greatest Navy in the world, the greatest Air Force in the world and the greatest fighting, because that's the muscle that makes the dollar the reserve currency. If you don't have the, you know, the armed force to reinforce your way around the world, you can't do the reserve currency. Dean Jackson Yeah, exactly. Dan Sullivan Yeah. Okay, alrighty, that was fantastic. Dean Jackson I will talk to you next weekend. Yep.

“I believe there's hope because I believe in God and I believe in the way of Jesus. This great Cathedral is a lighthouse, a signpost, a GPS marker that can help to orient us all the children of God, to God's dream.” The Most Rev.

Welcome to the Sounds On Vinyl Show, brought to you by BoozeHound Entertainment. New: Do you have a question or feedback for the show? Send Us A Voicemail!-Studio 666 Movie ReviewThe trailer looked pretty stupid, but it turned out to be a fairly well-written, goofy horror movie that was well acted considering the cast was mostly musicians. It wasn't particularly scary, and to the contrary had many jokes, especially in the beginning. Of course, you gotta love a band that not only writes their own horror movie, but also creates a band, a metal band no less, and releases an album under that band name. We all saw it coming, but Taylor Hawkins death scene was a bit surreal. This brings me to the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert - in the movie Dave Grohl mentions that this record (one long 45 minute song) was "2112 x 2112", and at the concert, Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson along with the Foo Fighters played part of 2112, which now having seen the movie makes it that much cooler. __________________________Mike's NotesAce Freheley have previously said that he thinks Tommy Thayer current Kiss guitarist is lousy at his job. He doesn't have any real feel for playing he only copies me to a tee. Bruce on the other hand made the playing of the old songs his own with some diffrent note and so forth. That's more fealing than Tommy ever had. NOW! Bruce speaks about the matter; "I really think they made the right choice, knowing what they were trying to do, which was just trying to sell the characters and the make-up version of the band," Bruce said. " By going with Tommy New SKID ROW vocalist Erik Grönwall spoke to The Rock N' Roll & Coffee Show about how he has been accepted by the band's fans since he joined the group earlier this year as the replacement for ZP Theart. He said: "There's so many different types of fans. I've realized that… 'Cause when we did the show in California, [some] people came up to me after the show, and they were, like, 'Sebastian [Bach], you've still got it.' Saxon's new album Carpe Diem finds it way into the Swedish charts at number 15 and climing. Still thinks it's awesome that a band that was formed in 1977 and had they're hayday in the mid 80's still are a band to recon with. I saw the yetsterday at KB in Malmo and they put on a awesome show playing an hour and 45 min. Lead singer Biff is 71 years old, headbanging and singing his heart out.

In this episode I talk with BA Writing and Film student Michael Bruce. Michael is an international student from Macon, Georgia, in the US, and we talk about how Doctor Who and fish and chips were key to his decision to study in England; the difficulties and pleasures of moving to a new country after a childhood spent in home schooling; and how his passion for making horror films was inspired by movies like Silence of the Lambs and Insidious. The ARU Spotlight Podcast is a series of interviews with students, alumni, academics and technical staff from the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at ARU, exploring their personal experiences of education, career paths, projects and interests, and their advice for anyone hoping to work in the same field. Hosted by Gareth Long, Communications Co-ordinator for the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at ARU.

Michael Bruce Ross was born in 1959 and while growing up, definitely had it rough. From being mentally and physically abused by his mother to being responsible for the chicken slaughter at his family's farm. Even though Michael was book smart, graduating from Cornell University in 1981, he was also a sexual sadist. He would murder 8 women, while attacking many more over the course of his life. He would also become the last person Connecticut would execute to this day.  To buy us a coffee or join our Patron for EXCLUSIVE bonus episodes and more: https://www.patreon.com/latenightmurderpodcast Follow us on social media and submit cases here: https://linktr.ee/latenightmurderpodcast   SOURCES http://www.clarkprosecutor.org/html/death/US/ross966.htm https://ithacating.com/2008/12/30/cornell-and-crime/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bruce_Ross#Early_life https://web.archive.org/web/20170105013750/http://crime.about.com/od/deathrow/p/michael_ross.htm   Martha Elliot's book: https://www.amazon.com/Man-Monster-Inside-Serial-Killer/dp/0143109472/ref=nodl_

Chris Watkin caught up with Michael Bruce at the RAN Conference in December 2021 to chat about Agents Together.

Like many serial killers who get caught, Michael Bruce Ross became more reckless — attacking teenagers and young women in high-traffic areas, and often returning to where he dumped their bodies. He was later deemed to be a sexual sadist, and agreed to be chemically castrated. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

After experiencing severe emotional abuse as a child in the ‘60s, Michael Bruce Ross got a fresh start at Cornell University.

The 1970s was the decade that saw the arrival of Alice Cooper as a major force across the media. In "Alice Cooper in the 1970s" Chris Sutton explores the story of Alice Cooper the band and Alice the solo performer from their early years through to the end of the decade. A roller-coaster ride of classic albums and singles, the songs recorded in the 1970s still dominate his live sets to this day. The book features all new interview material from key figures including Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith from the original band, Prakash John from the solo years, and Ernie Cefalu, whose company Pacific Eye and Ear designed the sleeve packaging. Several other musicians, concert promoters and even the band's first roadie have also contributed their thoughts. All of the albums and singles from Don't Blow Your Mind, until From The Inside are examined in detail, along with related archive releases and songs that didn't make the cut. In the course of putting the book together much new information came to light that will be of huge interest to hardened collectors and new fans alike. The book is an essential guide to Alice Cooper in the decade the band helped to define.Chris Sutton has been a fan of Alice Cooper since 1972 and the famous debut appearance on Top Of The Pops. The reunion of the band for their UK tour in 2017 stands as one of his happiest memories. He manages Smethwick Heritage Centre museum, and has written several publications for them. He has also written several plays. "Alice Cooper" in the 1970s is his first venture into music writing, with others to follow. He lives in Great Malvern, UK.Purchase a copy through Sonicbond Publishing: https://www.sonicbondpublishing.co.ukListen to Chris Sutton's curated Alice Cooper playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0i5w2RmY5bs4o8W9QAF1LL?si=054960e470174895The Booked On Rock Website: https://www.bookedonrock.comFollow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/bookedonrockpodcastTWITTER: https://twitter.com/bookedonrockContact The Booked On Rock Podcast:thebookedonrockpodcast@gmail.comSupport Your Local Bookstore!

Boomin was launched on the 2nd April 2021 with much fanfare and TV adverts as another portal for Estate Agents. I asked the UK Estate Agency profession to send in their questions and asked Tom Kirk, Chief Product Officer, those questions. Like all my videos, no monies or consideration have been made by Boomin, the directors and associates of Boomin to me for this interview. For the last 24 months, I have constantly asked Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket for such video interviews ..and all have either refused, said they would only do it if they were last to be interviewed or said they were too busy (even when I suggested dates 6 months in advance - I will let you make your own judgement on that). I am more than happy to declare that Kenny and Michael Bruce are decent friends of mine due to our close connection of the Agents Together Charity, yet I can assure you, no favours or quarter was given on this interview. In fact - I am friends with many people in the property industry, including many at the other portals.

Gothic Horror Radio Play Based on the works of Edgar Allen Poe, The Grimm of Stottesden Hall was recorded in front of a terrified live audience on the 7th May 2009. Come with us as we take you on a journey of madness, terror and gruesome, GRUESOME MURDER! The decaying walls of Stottesden Hall are the setting for our LIVE recording of an original gothic horror radio play by award winning team, writer Stuart Price and composer Michael Bruce. TRUE! Nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why WILL you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How then am I mad? Hearken! And observe how healthily, how calmly, I can tell you the whole story.” Edgar Allen Poe Starring : Knight Mantell, David Beck, Jessica Dennis, Leonie Hill, Josh Cass and Andrew Glenn. Written By: Stuart Price Foley By: Jack Bowman, Dean Elliott and Reuben Anderson Edited By: Scott Wiber Directed By : Stuart Price Music By : Michael Bruce “Wireless's live show was an Edgar Allen Poe inspired horror, and listening to it on air meant that your imagination could run riot and conjure imagery far scarier than a set designer could budget for.” THE GUARDIAN OTHER TITLES BY STUART PRICE INCLUDE; ON THREE, THE YOUTH OF OLD AGE AND THE PIPER & MUSICIANS OF BREMMEN

We’re bringing something a little different to you on Folk Roots Radio this week. We’re celebrating the music of Kevin K Gagnon, a bass player from Windsor ON who has been active on the local scene since 1978. When I received the press release about "It Is What It Is", Kevin's first solo album - released after 40 years in the music business, I knew I had to bring him into the studio for an in-depth conversation. During his career, Kevin K Gagnon has pretty much played every bar, club and concert venue throughout the Windsor/Essex area, and recorded in just about every local studio. “It Is What It Is” is a collection of mostly instrumental works, written for electric guitar as well as bass - Kevin plays both on the album. Back in the 80s, Kevin toured with his band “Destiny”, and he has played with Joe Konas (The Gods), the late Windsor blues great Michael Bruce and many others. He has also offered his talents for countless local charity events over the years and currently performs live with local Windsor band, The Formula. It Is What It Is includes the recently recorded “A Blues Memory”, in memory of Michael Bruce, and a brand new song entitled “One Or The Other” featuring guitarist/vocalist Jeff Oppen. Kevin Gagnon is a recipient of The Windsor/Essex County Music Appreciation Award and a Hall of Fame inductee. Music: Kevin K Gagnon “A Blues Memory”, “Minstrel Cramp”, “Today and Forever”, “One Or The Other” and “A Walk In The Park” from “It Is What It Is” (2019, Self).

Michael Bruce with his younger brother Kenny founded Purple Bricks the online estate agency famous for offering to sell your house in the UK for a fixed fee of just £845 inclusive of VAT. Purple Bricks was recently valued at £240million. Michael, and his younger brother Kenny and four older sisters were brought up by their single mother in a council house in Larne in the 70s and 80s. His first experience of work was when he was still a school boy doing a milk round in the morning and collecting glasses in a local pub in the evening while his brother did the Coal Run. In this fascinating interview Michael says : “We didn’t want to rush to market. Many entrepreneurs think when they’ve got a website they’ve got a business. We spent two and a half years building the business first.” Now in Australia and the USA there is no holding back these two brothers from Larne. When asked for final advice developing a business he simply states : “Have a dream and be relentless and wise in pursuing it.”

Curry, the first African-American presiding bishop of the American Episcopal Church encouraged all receiving his message to discover the power of love to make of "this old world a new world."
