Our guest today is a Harvard- and Oxford-educated entrepreneur, investor, and international speaker. [3:57] On Tuesday, August 5th, he'll kick off the Inaugural RIMS Texas Regional Conference with his keynote, “Your Insurance Policy for Success: Eight Mental Toughness Lessons I've Learned from Running 100 Miles Through the Mountains.” [4:10] His name is Huw Edwards. He is the founder of multiple ventures, including Jungle Disk and CyberFortress. We're going to get a preview of his keynote and learn about his risk philosophies and risk journey. [4:21] Interview! Huw Edwards, welcome to RIMScast! [4:36] Huw is excited to be on RIMScast and to be opening the RIMS Texas Regional Conference in August. Justin loves going to Texas and is looking forward to the conference. [5:01] Huw comes from Wales. His accent comes from living in about 16 parts of the U.S. [5:55] Growing up, Huw was good with numbers. After college, being a mathematician, he landed a job with Goldman Sachs in a derivatives group. He helped big corporations manage their financial risks. [6:54] Huw tells about buying his first business. When he sold it, he didn't have the attachment of having founded it. He took it on a journey and then sold it to a private equity firm that joined it with several other companies to create a much bigger platform. [7:52] Huw is a “reluctant entrepreneur.” He was not a teenage businessman. He was good at school and at doing work. The first business he bought was a profitable going concern with existing customers. It was a business unit in a big company, stuck in a corner. [8:39] Huw saw it had wonderful economics and just had to be invested in. It had sticky customers. It was very profitable. It needed some love, care, and attention. That was Huw's easy transition into entrepreneurship. He bought the business in 2016. [9:00] In 2017, customers started asking where they could buy Bitcoin. Customers were asking about Bitcoin because they were victims of a ransomware attack that demanded Bitcoins to unlock their computers. Huw's company had backups of its clients' data. [10:00] This circumstance pulled the company into the world of cyber insurance. It was a new field. Huw's company served small businesses and helped them protect their data. Managing their clients' data, they realized they could do the job better. [10:53] Huw says two things connect him to the RIMS Texas Regional Conference. The Insurance Company, USAA, is in San Antonio. Another insurance company, Argo, was there for a time. In 2018, RISKWORLD was held in San Antonio. [11:30] In 2018, Huw and partners incubated an MGA within a large company. They showed up at RISKWORLD to do customer testing and exploration. Coming back to a RIMS conference as a keynote speaker is a full-circle journey for Huw. [12:11] Huw's company was CyberFortress. It was spun out from Jungle Disk, a larger company. Huw raised a bunch of VC money and swung for the fences, but didn't find a product market fit there. They had built a solution, looking for a problem. It was a character-building experience. [13:06] It gave Huw some great insight, working with the insurance company. They launched their insurance policy in Texas, backed by Markel. The challenge was that it wasn't well-positioned, and people didn't buy it. [13:29] Huw believes the greatest opportunity for risk managers in today's cybersecurity landscape is to understand that the big factor is human behavior. You can buy systems, but it comes down to the people running those systems. [13:52] The successful cyber insurance offerings and cybersecurity firms largely help, train, monitor, and guide behavior to avoid clients doing the dumb stuff. Don't click on dumb stuff. [14:14] Risk managers are now interested in AI. AI is just another very powerful tool that can give you a lot of leverage. You can't outsource responsibility to AI, but it can do a lot of things. You can leverage those things. [15:01] Companies are looking for employees who are AI-first. Your comfort with AI will be a deciding factor that separates the people who are promoted or kept on.  [16:12] Huw thinks risk managers get a bad rap. Huw worked for Bridgewater. When he took the job, he was given a lot of books on managing risk. He learned you're not trying to eliminate risk but trying to manage it. How do you take advantage of risk? How do you scale risk exposure? [16:59] How do you mitigate the catastrophic risk or existential risk that could kill, but be open to riding the waves of the lesser risks that could give great upsides? [17:18] Risk managers can be seen as Negative Nancy, saying no. But risk management can enable. [17:47] Huw will talk about his long-distance running. He is also a big Formula 1 fan. Formula 1 cars can go really fast. What makes the Formula 1 car go fast around the track is good brakes. Like brakes in a car, risk management can make something go faster, braking when needed. [18:55] Plugs with Roma Rishi, Sr. Sales Executive, Origami Risk! Origami Risk is excited to be a sponsor at the RIMS Texas Regional Conference. Origami Risk will have a booth there to demonstrate their products. They will also speak at one of the sessions. [19:35] They will be talking with Roy Hock, the Director of Excess Insurance at Valero Energy, about leveraging technology to manage your captive. See Origami at its table, at its session, or both! [19:48] Origami Risk will be at the RIMS Texas Regional Conference from August 4th through August 6th. Origami Risk will also be at the tenth Chicagoland Risk Forum, on September 18th at the Old Post Office in Chicago. [20:02] Origami Risk will have a booth there, and Roma's colleague, Gina Rothweiler, is going to be speaking. Come find Origami Risk at the Chicagoland Risk Forum!

[21:52] Let's Return to the Conclusion of My Interview with RIMS Texas Keynote Speaker Huw Edwards! [22:01] On Tuesday, August 5th, at 9:00 a.m., Huw Edwards will kick off the RIMS Texas Regional with his keynote address. He will talk about personal experiences, which include several ultramarathons.  [22:54] For Huw, it was the challenge and the uncertainty that drew him to ultramarathons. When you line up on the start line of a marathon, you might not know how well you'll do that day, but by and large, you know you'll finish. [23:40] Huw found himself drawn to these 100-mile races, in the mountains, going up and down, on trails, at altitude. It's an eating and hydration competition, and getting your electrolytes right. It's about managing the heat of the day and the cold of the night. [24:18] It's about your stomach going South, or rolling an ankle. You can have a belief on the start line that you will finish, but you don't know what's going to happen that day. It's a somewhat controlled, uncontrollable environment. It's less complex than risk management. [25:01] In risk management, you have hundreds of thousands or millions of human players and economic actors interacting. When you're running, you have yourself, knowing how hard you can push, but you don't know what the weather will bring. It's a microcosm of the game of life. [25:39] The lessons are huge. We somehow think we can control everything in life, or we try. In running this kind of distance, things just go wrong. You can't control everything, so how do you learn how to respond? That's what keeps Huw coming back to ultramarathons. [26:07] Justin sees the parallels with risk management; you're striving for greatness, but sometimes you have to settle for goodness. [26:27] You don't go all in from the start. You have to pace yourself. The races have a time cutoff. If you are too conservative, you won't get there. In risk management, if you try to mitigate all risk, you'll have to pay through the nose for insurance. It's a judgment call. [27:28] In ultramarathons, you navigate emotional highs and lows. No matter how you're feeling, good or bad, it won't last. When you're running great, enjoy it; it's not going to last. When you feel terrible, that will pass, too. [27:53] That's a glimpse of part of the keynote. Justin says it's great that Huw has risk experience and has been to RISKWORLD. [28:18] Huw has a theme, smiling on the outside, suffering on the inside. For a long time, he tried to put a brave face on things. It's OK to suffer at times, acknowledge it, and not paper over the cracks of your feelings. It's OK to be authentic. Huw will touch on that in the keynote. [28:54] Sometimes you learn a lot in those moments of suffering. Huw will talk about the pain cave. At some point in an ultramarathon, you enter the pain cave. This term was made famous by one of the greatest ultra runners, Courtney Dauwalter. [29:28] When Courtney Dauwalter talks about the pain cave, she says she used to try to push it off and delay the inevitable moment of going into the pain cave. But the whole point is to experience that edge. [29:48] So you welcome the pain cave. It was meant to hurt. What can we learn about it? [30:06] Huw will take questions at the end of his keynote. Everyone can go to the link in this episode's show notes for the registration page for the RIMS Texas Regional Conference. [30:18] Huw, it was such a pleasure to meet you!

The relationship between AI and ethics is both developing and delicate. On one hand, the GenAI advancements to date are impressive. On the other, extreme care needs to be taken as this tech continues to quickly become more commonplace in our lives. In today's episode, Ovetta Sampson and I examine the crossroads ahead for designing AI and GenAI user experiences.     While professionals and the general public are eager to embrace new products, recent breakthroughs, etc.; we still need to have some guard rails in place. If we don't, data can easily get mishandled, and people could get hurt. Ovetta possesses firsthand experience working on these issues as they sprout up. We look at who should be on a team designing an AI UX, exploring the risks associated with GenAI, ethics, and need to be thinking about going forward.     Highlights/ Skip to: (1:48) Ovetta's background and what she brings to Google's Core ML group (6:03) How Ovetta and her team work with data scientists and engineers deep in the stack (9:09)  How AI is changing the front-end of applications (12:46) The type of people you should seek out to design your AI and LLM UXs (16:15) Explaining why we're only at the very start of major GenAI breakthroughs (22:34) How GenAI tools will alter the roles and responsibilities of designers, developers, and product teams (31:11) The potential harms of carelessly deploying GenAI technology (42:09) Defining acceptable levels of risk when using GenAI in real-world applications (53:16) Closing thoughts from Ovetta and where you can find her     Quotes from Today's Episode “If artificial intelligence is just another technology, why would we build entire policies and frameworks around it? The reason why we do that is because we realize there are some real thorny ethical issues [surrounding AI]. Who owns that data? Where does it come from? Data is created by people, and all people create data. That's why companies have strong legal, compliance, and regulatory policies around [AI], how it's built, and how it engages with people. Think about having a toddler and then training the toddler on everything in the Library of Congress and on the internet. Do you release that toddler into the world without guardrails? Probably not.” - Ovetta Sampson (10:03) “[When building a team] you should look for a diverse thinker who focuses on the limitations of this technology- not its capability. You need someone who understands that the end destination of that technology is an engagement with a human being.  You need somebody who understands how they engage with machines and digital products. You need that person to be passionate about testing various ways that relationships can evolve. When we go from execution on code to machine learning, we make a shift from [human] agency to a shared-agency relationship. The user and machine both have decision-making power. That's the paradigm shift that [designers] need to understand. You want somebody who can keep that duality in their head as they're testing product design.” - Ovetta Sampson (13:45) “We're in for a huge taxonomy change. There are words that mean very specific definitions today. Software engineer. Designer. Technically skilled. Digital. Art. Craft. AI is changing all that. It's changing what it means to be a software engineer. Machine learning used to be the purview of data scientists only, but with GenAI, all of that is baked in to Gemini. So, now you start at a checkpoint, and you're like, all right, let's go make an API, right? So, the skills, the understanding, the knowledge, the taxonomy even, how we talk about these things, how do we talk about the machine who speaks to us talks to us, who could create a podcast out of just voice memos?” - Ovetta Sampson (24:16) “We have to be very intentional [when building AI tools], and that's the kind of folks you want on teams. [Designers] have to go and play scary scenarios. We have to do that. No designer wants to be “Negative Nancy,” but this technology has huge potential to harm. It has harmed. If we don't have the skill sets to recognize, document, and minimize harm, that needs to be part of our skill set.  If we're not looking out for the humans, then who actually is?” - Ovetta Sampson (32:10) “[Research shows] things happen to our brain when we're exposed to artificial intelligence… there are real human engagement risks that are an opportunity for design.  When you're designing a self-driving car, you can't just let the person go to sleep unless the car is fully [automated] and every other car on the road is self-driving. If there are humans behind the wheel, you need to have a feedback loop system—something that's going to happen [in case] the algorithm is wrong. If you don't have that designed, there's going to be a large human engagement risk that a car is going to run over somebody who's [for example] pushing a bike up a hill[...] Why? The car could not calculate the right speed and pace of a person pushing their bike. It had the speed and pace of a person walking, the speed and pace of a person on a bike, but not the two together. Algorithms will be wrong, right?” - Ovetta Sampson (39:42) “Model goodness used to be the purview of companies and the data scientists. Think about the first search engines. Their model goodness was [about] 77%. That's good, right? And then people started seeing photos of apes when [they] typed in ‘black people.' Companies have to get used to going to their customers in a wide spectrum and asking them when they're [models or apps are] right and wrong.  They can't take on that burden themselves anymore. Having ethically sourced data input and variables is hard work. If you're going to use this technology, you need to put into place the governance that needs to be there.” - Ovetta Sampson (44:08)

There are all kinds of negative characters. It isn't just Negative Nancy. Here family is just as messed up. Critical Carl, Perfectionist Patricia, pessimistic Peter, inadequate Ian, catastrophic Cathy, overthinking Olivia and so many others. Left unchecked out negative thinking consumes us and distorts our view of life. It's a spiritual problem and there is hope to be experienced through the renewing of our minds. Take your negative thoughts captive and replace the space with some incredibly positive gifts from God. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

And just like that the overwhelming cynicism has returned to the Pow Wow. Somewhere between Katy's Time and Jonathon's "Negative Nancy" campaign, exists the rational voice of Troy? Eventually covers where we see the Sounders today, the recent past, the relative future and how things look from our point of view. And then there's the evisceration of Fantasy League.

Dealing with a high-performing employee who constantly brings negativity to the table can feel like walking a tightrope. You need their expertise, but their attitude is dragging the team down. In this episode, I'll share strategies for tackling this delicate situation, ensuring you not only address the negativity but also foster a more positive and collaborative environment.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Optimistic Assumptions, Longterm Planning, and "Cope", published by Raemon on July 17, 2024 on LessWrong. Eliezer periodically complains about people coming up with questionable plans with questionable assumptions to deal with AI, and then either: Saying "well, if this assumption doesn't hold, we're doomed, so we might as well assume it's true." Worse: coming up with cope-y reasons to assume that the assumption isn't even questionable at all. It's just a pretty reasonable worldview. Sometimes the questionable plan is "an alignment scheme, which Eliezer thinks avoids the hard part of the problem." Sometimes it's a sketchy reckless plan that's probably going to blow up and make things worse. Some people complain about Eliezer being a doomy Negative Nancy who's overly pessimistic. I had an interesting experience a few months ago when I ran some beta-tests of my Planmaking and Surprise Anticipation workshop, that I think are illustrative. i. Slipping into a more Convenient World I have an exercise where I give people the instruction to play a puzzle game ("Baba is You"), but where you normally have the ability to move around and interact with the world to experiment and learn things, instead, you need to make a complete plan for solving the level, and you aim to get it right on your first try. In the exercise, I have people write down the steps of their plan, and assign a probability to each step. If there is a part of the puzzle-map that you aren't familiar with, you'll have to make guesses. I recommend making 2-3 guesses for how a new mechanic might work. (I don't recommend making a massive branching tree for every possible eventuality. For the sake of the exercise not taking forever, I suggest making 2-3 branching path plans) Several months ago, I had three young-ish alignment researchers do this task (each session was a 1-1 with just me and them). Each of them looked at the level for awhile and said "Well, this looks basically impossible... unless this [questionable assumption I came up with that I don't really believe in] is true. I think that assumption is... 70% likely to be true." Then they went an executed their plan. It failed. The questionable assumption was not true. Then, each of them said, again "okay, well here's a different sketchy assumption that I wouldn't have thought was likely except if it's not true, the level seems unsolveable." I asked "what's your probability for that one being true?" "70%" "Okay. You ready to go ahead again?" I asked. "Yep", they said. They tried again. The plan failed again. And, then they did it a third time, still saying ~70%. This happened with three different junior alignment researchers, making a total of 9 predictions, which were wrong 100% of the time. (The third guy, on the the second or third time, said "well... okay, I was wrong last time. So this time let's say it's... 60%.") My girlfriend ran a similar exercise with another group of young smart people, with similar results. "I'm 90% sure this is going to work" ... "okay that didn't work." Later I ran the exercise again, this time with a mix of younger and more experienced AI safety folk, several of whom leaned more pessimistic. I think the group overall did better. One of them actually made the correct plan on the first try. One them got it wrong, but gave an appropriately low estimate for themselves. Another of them (call them Bob) made three attempts, and gave themselves ~50% odds on each attempt. They went into the experience thinking "I expect this to be hard but doable, and I believe in developing the skill of thinking ahead like this." But, after each attempt, Bob was surprised by how out-of-left field their errors were. They'd predicted they'd be surprised... but they were surprised in surprising ways - even in a simplified, toy domain that was optimized for ...

After a week without Troy, Eventually returns with a new segment. You be the judge if it continues. Plenty of talk about the Negative Nancy syndrome, what's happening internally with the Sounders and what we expect with the upcoming match against Chicago. And your questions.

What does it take to have a thriving, meaningful career? For some, even asking the question seems so far out of reach and bubbles up a bit of Negative Nancy thinking, like, “Who am I to ask this? Oh, I'm too old… too young… too busy to stop and even consider that there might be a better way to work.” All of which is rubbish, you know that right? You get to decide each and every day how you wish to devote your time towards your work endeavors, friend! My special guest today is Dr. Susan Hanold and she's simplifying how to have a thriving, meaningful career. I mean, she's called the “Talent Doctor” and for good reason as she helps coach professionals of all ages on how to view your career journey in a new, fresh way. One where you leverage your strengths, chart a path that feels invigorating and empowering, but also one that is sustainable through seasons of big change. Here's how.  My special guest today is Dr. Susan Hanold and she's simplifying how to have a thriving, meaningful career. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: Why some people get stuck in a career path that isn't fulfilling or “where they'd thought they would be, by now?” How to identify and leverage your strengths to get your career back on path. Also, how to assess your skill gaps and areas you need to work on, based on what the market really needs right now. How to use technology to simplify your job. Why it's important to continuously rebrand yourself all along your career journey. Plus simple, practical advice for those who feel resistant to change that'll help you become more open and nimble. …and ultimately, what the key mistakes are that people make mid or late in their career that others should avoid, so you don't get stuck. Q: Are you ready to learn how to have a thriving, meaningful career? If yes, this one is for you.

INCOGNITO GUEST! Sometimes you're in a pickle and simply need a sounding board. In this special “Issues2Impact” episode of “I Have SOMETHING to Say” podcast Dr. Xaulanda Simmonds-Emmanuel, Chris Majocha, and Samí Haiman-Marrero talk with ‘Negative Nancy' who is a business owner struggling with passion, direction, and the future of her business. It's an emotional discussion about the practical aspects of entrepreneurship, the struggle to find joy and fulfillment in business activities, and the exploration of potential career pivots. We disguise the identity of our guest to afford her a safe space to share her feelings as she asks us, “Do I continue to pursue entrepreneurship or do I get a job?” As this heartfelt and candid conversation progresses, our hosts provide insights, advice, and personal experiences to guide Negative Nancy through this journey of self-discovery and decision-making in the hopes of changing her mindset to that of a ‘Positive Paula'. The conversation covers a wide range of topics related to entrepreneurship, business strategy, personal growth, and mental health. It addresses the challenges and opportunities of being an entrepreneur, the importance of defining a niche, creating packages, setting goals, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The discussion also touches on the healing process and the impact of childhood experiences on entrepreneurial journeys. Key Takeaways Entrepreneurship involves emotional and practical challenges that require self-discovery and decision-making. Career pivots and consulting roles can offer opportunities to leverage soft skills and creative interventions in the corporate sector. Understanding one's value proposition and articulating it in corporate terms can help in selling one's strengths and passions. It's important to focus on activities that bring joy and fulfillment and to consider pivoting away from aspects of the business that do not align with personal goals and values. Defining a niche and creating packages can lead to more consistent income and attract the right clients. Setting audacious yet achievable goals in smaller increments can help maintain focus and track progress. Taking breaks, establishing healthy boundaries, and celebrating small victories are essential for mental well-being and sustained productivity in entrepreneurship. Childhood experiences and trauma can influence entrepreneurial behavior and mindset, requiring intentional healing and self-awareness. Hold on to your seats as you hit PLAY.  This one is packed with a hell of a lot of zest! #Issues2Impact #IHAVESOMETHINGTOSAY #urbander #udou #xauskygroup #mindset #podcast #entrepreneurship #smallbusinesses #keepingitreal

We've all been there! Negative Nancy or Downer Dan mode—there's nothing wrong with blowing off steam or seasons of negativity. In fact, sitting in a problem mindset can even help you get to the root of the problem before jumping into solution mode. But life is too short to get caught up in a negative cycle—it hurts our personal brand and well-being.  So, we serve up three ways to quickly shift to a solution mindset: paying attention to your response to change (and keeping a close eye on any red flags), seeking a fresh perspective, and creating the right environment to solve those tricky problems—for you, it might be walking, driving, or swimming!  'Til next week, Powrsuiters!

When you get in the habit of thinking positive thoughts.. usually positive outcomes are soon to follow. But when you are dimming your own light, speaking negative thoughts about yourself into the universe, or downing yourself in any way.. How do you honestly expect your thoughts and actions to be positive. I'm not saying that it can't happen.. but nine times out of ten when you are in a negative head space.. you usually don't get the positive desired outcome. Take a listen to hear more.

“The media doesn't cover negativity wholesomely and its coverage is spent more on negativity than positivity. I am advanced pertaining to media literacy. I choose to be independent media of me. I refuse to be the temporal “feel good” story of the media. The “feel bad stories” are the majority of the media's coverage, and the media's wealth. It (meaning the media) has consumers who demand negative stories more than the positive stories. Its viewership consumers have heightened anxiety, heightened depression, heightened suicidal ideation, and heightened body image issues largely because of media exposure. The media's negative stories play a role in the committal of crimes, and high lying problems instead of highlighting solutions to problems. I refuse to be the media's “shiny object.” I refuse to media interviews for any and all media platforms. I enjoy complete control over my image and my likeness.” -Antonio Myers. “The media prides itself on being careless, loose, lax, remiss, unguarded, incautious, forgetful, unthinking, unobservant, reckless, unheeding, indiscreet, inadvertent, unconcerned, wasteful, regardless, imprudent, unconsidered, hasty, inconsiderate, heedless, mindless, untroubled, negligent, neglectful, thoughtless, indifferent, casual, oblivious, absent-minded, listless, abstracted, nonchalant, blasé, undiscerning, offhand, slack, blundering, and rash. The media is not thoughtful, not attentive, and not careful.

When I first picked up How to Calm Your Mind, I didn't realize this was the book I NEEDED!Chris Bailey, productivity expert, author, speaker, and master of calm, tells the story of how he caught a glimpse of himself in the overflow drain (yeah, that's what that weird metal piece in your tub is called), only to see he looked forlorn, sad, and depleted. The next day, he had a public anxiety attack.We are all Chris. We all fall somewhere on the anxiety spectrum and surprise… the bottom of the spectrum is not 0 anxiety…it's beyond that:`q1 deeply calm. But how do we get there?First, we need to truly understand the word burnout. We throw this word around like candy, but to really be burnt out you need to have these three signs: Exhaustion (ding ding ding), Cynicism (talking to you, Negative Nancy), and Inefficacy (Yeah the OPPOSITE of productivity).And what causes these? Chris explains 6 factors that occur at work and all throughout your life. If these aren't aligning with your beliefs and needs, you will most certainly reach your boiling point.Then there's the matter of dopamine. That chemical our brain is constantly chasing, but isn't always finding truly fulfilling. Chris explains the concept of a “Stimulation Fast” where you eliminate these empty sources of dopamine for an extended period of time. The easiest example? Social media. It consumes a ton of our time but leaves us with almost no satisfaction. When you remove these stimuli, you find you have time for your hobbies, passions, and needs that truly do bring fulfillment and happiness (bye bye TikTok, helloooo knitting!?).Most of us want to live a life that's meaningful. Chris asks this really beautiful and eye opening question that I want you to consider… Are you in pursuit of a life that you find personal value in or that the world values? What's Inside:Why exactly would you want to calm your mind?Burnout is more than just exhaustion. What are the three symptoms?Six factors at work that contribute to burnout, stress, and anxiety. Can you fix them?Do you need stimulation fast? Taking a look at empty sources of dopamine?If you're like me, you're less wanna be calm and more wanna hype up 10x but after reading How to Calm Your Mind, I gained a new understanding of what calm really means. So where do you fall on the anxiety spectrum? Highly anxious or deeply calm? Let me know on Insta!Mentioned In This Episode:Chris BaileyFit Feels Good info@fitfeelsgood.comOonagh on Insta

Ever find yourself hating that co-worker who is just so damn happy all the time? Like nobody is that positive all the time. I hear you. I used to be so annoyed with happy people.

This week's Discussion and Drinks episode, Jimmy and Mike have a pretty spirited debate about dynamics of bands within a scene.  Specifically how difficult it was to book an opening band for their upcoming show this weekend at a brand new venue, that could potentially help open the door for the scene overall.  Mike argues that people need to get over themselves and their precious egos, even offering up Something Heavy to open the show.  Jimmy argues that maybe there are other things at play, ie prior engagements, other shows in close proximity, their crowd being a “later crowd” and more.  Is Mike too much of a Negative Nancy due to former band PTSD?  Is Jimmy being a Delusional Optimist about how a majority of other bands look at each other?  Definitely some interesting, inside baseball talk here.Get some more helpings of BIMP at http://www.patreon.com/baconismypodcastFind everything else BIMP:Twitter: @BaconisMyPodInstagram: @BaconisMyPodFacebook: www.facebook.com/baconismypodAnd of course our website: www.baconismypodcast.comWant some visual Bacon is My Podcast?Check out this episode and all others on Strangerhood TV on YouTube.www.strangerhoodtv.com and make sure to check out all the other great content on the channel!Get additional BIMP content at www.patreon.com/baconismypodcastWe're proudly sponsored by Manscaped and when you use the promo code BACONPOD at manscaped.com you'll get 20% your entire order!We'd like to introduce our new sponsor, Mythical Beards as well!  Use the promo code BACON15 for 15% off at mythicalbeards.comDon't forget to use the promo code BACON at our sponsors NativeBlendClothing.com, DrinkWildBills.com, PodDecks.com and GrillYourAssOff.com the best deals on your order!#podcast #baconismypassion #strangerhoodtv #youtubechannel #youtubepodcast #cravingstrange #somethingheavy #betterthanradio #baconismypodcast #poweredbypoddecks #manscaped #drinkwildbills #grillyourassoff #mythicalbeards ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

It's true that sometimes our inner critic can be overly critical or discouraging. While self-reflection and constructive self-evaluation can be beneficial, constantly listening to a harsh inner voice can be detrimental to our self-esteem and progress. It's important to find a balance between self-awareness and self-compassion. Here are a few strategies to help manage your inner critic: Recognize and acknowledge the inner critic: Awareness is the first step. Notice when your inner critic starts to speak up and understand that it's just one perspective among many. Challenge negative self-talk: When your inner critic becomes negative or overly critical, consciously challenge those thoughts. Question their validity and replace them with more balanced and positive thoughts. Practice self-compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding. Remember that everyone makes mistakes and has flaws. Treat yourself as you would treat a friend who is going through a similar situation. Surround yourself with positivity: Surrounding yourself with supportive and positive people can counterbalance the negative influence of your inner critic. Seek out individuals who uplift and encourage you. Focus on your strengths and achievements: Shift your attention to your accomplishments and strengths. Remind yourself of the times when you have succeeded or overcome challenges in the past. Remember, it takes time and effort to reframe your inner dialogue. Be patient with yourself as you work on cultivating a more compassionate and supportive mindset. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayne-weathersby/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayne-weathersby/support

Today we are talking about Business Success Principle #3, which is to Get outside your own limited mindset.  Negative Nancy's (so to speak) never build success; do you know why?  Because they're too busy focusing on the negative to take action on valuable opportunities.  That doesn't mean that you must remain Happy Holly 24/7, but do not let the negative keep you down.  If something doesn't go your way, allow yourself just a brief moment to replay the situation and think about what you could have done differently.  Once that minute is up - let it go.  Learn from it and stay positive.  It's important to expand your mindset and train yourself to look for viable and profitable business opportunities in the midst of all the failure.  You need to believe that your business can succeed and believe in your own abilities as a skilled professional, even when no one else is willing to.  Tune in tomorrow for Business Success Principle #4.  In the meantime, if you think you have some limiting beliefs holding you back, download my Special Guidebook, Are Your Limiting Beliefs Stopping You from Achieving Your Goals? by going to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/request-guidebook-limiting-beliefs/.  Subscribe to my high-value proven business success tips and resources Blog (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/blog/)  Take advantage of all the complimentary business tips and tools by joining the Free Silver Membership on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/inner-circle-store/.  Want more from The Accountability Coach™, subscribe to more high-value content by looking for me on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/my-podcast/ and on most podcast platforms and in most English-speaking countries, or by going to https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/accountabilitycoach.com/id290547573.  Go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com to check out for yourself how I, as your Accountability Coach™, can help you get and stay focused on you highest payoff activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your professional and personal goals, so you can enjoy the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve.  As an experienced accountability coach and author of 5 books, I help business professionals make more money, work less, and enjoy even better work life balance. Check out my proven business accelerator resources by going to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/.  Aim for what you want each and every day!  Anne BachrachThe Accountability Coach™ If you get value from these Accountability Minutes, please take a minute to leave me a short rating and review.

The resources mentioned in this episode are: Consider using Mailbox Power for automating gratitude through gifts, cards, and postcards. Visit Mailboxpower.com/Realestateagent for classes on how to use it as a real estate agent. Check out PersonalizationMall.com for one-off personalized gifts. Choose a CRM system that you will actually use and input valuable information. Focus on giving gifts that are about the receiver, not promoting your own brand or business. Make sure the gift makes more than one impression, so it stays top of mind for the recipient. Avoid giving generic or potentially offensive gifts, like bottles of champagne. Consider giving personalized items such as cutting boards or watercolour paintings that can make a lasting impact on the recipient. The Importance of Personalization Understanding the importance of personalization in gift-giving is essential for building strong business relationships. Personalization shows that you have taken the time to listen to your clients and that you are genuinely thoughtful when it comes to showing appreciation. Rather than generic, one-size-fits-all gifts, personalized tokens of gratitude can leave a lasting impression on clients, making them more likely to refer your services and continue doing business with you in the future. During the conversation, Steve Buzogany emphasized that personalization is crucial in gift-giving. By actively collecting information from conversations with clients and making an effort to record any significant details about their interests or preferences, businesses can personalize future gifts and messages. This demonstrates ongoing appreciation for the client's business and helps build lasting relationships while fostering positive word-of-mouth for the company. Steve Buzogany is a recognized expert in strategic appreciation and is an author, speaker, and consultant. He has worked with nationally ranked sales teams at companies like Berkshire Hathaway, Keller Williams, and RE/MAX. Steve is best-known for his ability to leave unique, long-lasting, and positive impressions on people. Begin your systemized appreciation journey that will help you with growing your income, reducing your expenses, and living a more fulfilled life, both in business and personally.
