In this thought-provoking episode, Brig explores a concept inspired by Nicholas Taleb's book, "The Bed of Procrustes" where Taleb uses the metaphor of living in a box to illustrate how modern civilization confines us in ways that are far from natural or comfortable. But what if everything you thought about your "comfort zone" was actually a lie? Listen in as Brig passionately argues that our true comfort zone lies outside these boxes, where we can live boldly, create, take risks, and experience life to the fullest.  If you've ever felt trapped by societal norms or wondered why you numb yourself with overeating, over-drinking, or binge-watching TV, this episode is for you. Discover how to break free from the discomfort of the so-called comfort zone and embrace a life filled with passion, creativity, and genuine joy.  It's time to reclaim your natural state and start living boldly.   RESOURCES  — Join my Newsletter, Unlearn and Unleash Join the Next Breakthrough Master Class here  Register for the Next Melanin Hour here  Book a Breakthrough Call here Share Your Takeaways With Me at brig@brigjohnson.com    LET'S GET SOCIAL — Website - http://brigjohnson.com/  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnsonbrig/?hl=en  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/coachwithbrig

He wishes he had spent these years advancing his corporate career.LEARNING: Working for somebody is fragile. Every failure teaches you something and makes you a better version of yourself. Do something you're passionate about. “In entrepreneurship, every failure teaches you something. It makes you stronger and better in doing what you're doing.”Vivek Raina Guest profileVivek Raina is a seasoned veteran with over two decades of experience in the broadband industry. As the CEO and Co-Founder of Excitel, he leads the mission to connect BHARAT, propelling the company to the top three ISPs in India—a remarkable feat in just eight years. With a million subscribers spanning 55+ cities, Vivek's leadership has revolutionized lives through pioneering unlimited internet broadband.Vivek hails from Kashmir and is now based in Delhi. His journey includes impactful roles at Hathway, Reliance, and Pacenet, highlighting his exceptional leadership skills.Worst investment everWithin two years of employment, Vivek had decided he would not stay employed—he would do something independently. Vivek started showing his ideas to people, hoping that someone would be interested in funding him. Some of the ideas were really bad, while others were good. Vivek didn't manage to get an investor. Most people would offer him a salary or some incentives to work with him. It took Vivek 10 years to convince somebody to invest money in his idea. It took another three years to convince them to start a company, and in 2014, he got his first investment.Vivek considers the 10 years he spent making this foundation his worst investment ever because if he had concentrated on a corporate job instead, he would be a millionaire by now. It's also his best investment because if he had not gone through the grind and learned what he learned, he wouldn't have been the successful entrepreneur he is today.Lessons learnedWorking for somebody is fragile.Every failure teaches you something and makes you a better version of yourself.Do something you're passionate about—nobody can beat you at what you're good at.Andrew's takeawaysDon't be too harsh on yourself when you fail.

Our book this month comes from Nassim Nicholas Taleb. He's famous for his book “The Black Swan”. This book reshaped our culture's thinking around rare but completely predictable events. His book, moved an entire generation of business leaders, and the title of his book The Black Swan has become part of the business vernacular. In fact, I would venture to say that most people who use the phrase Black Swan don't really know what it means. So when Nicholas Taleb wrote another book, I knew it would be well researched and well written. The phrase “skin in the game” is one we have often heard but rarely stopped to truly dissect. It is the backbone of risk management, but it's also an astonishingly rich worldview that, as Taleb shows in this book, applies to all aspects of our lives. -------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

00:00.00 Max Shank Welcome back everybody to Monday morning with max and Mike Today we are going to talk about arguably the most important topic in your life because it is your life. It's about securing your future. Both. From a fitness standpoint a financial standpoint and a friendship standpoint so we are gonna talk about what is going to happen in the near and possibly distant future and what you should do about it. This is gonna be really fun. Mike thanks for joining me today. 00:34.83 mikebledsoe Thanks! Man. Ah yeah, I'm excited to talk about this because we were just chatting before as we always do we we get a good fifteen twenty minute chat on before we do the show and I was walking max through all the steps that I've been. I've been getting walked through by a friend of mine on how to secure crypto finances and what it really takes to make sure that those things stay safe and why does that interest me well that interests me because. I look at the future and I see a lot of uncertainty which I think everybody does and if you're somebody who thinks that the future is certain then you have really fooled yourself and because we have no idea what will happen so the lot of ah. 01:25.67 Max Shank I Think a certain future has to be kind of a sad one The the more certainty in your future. The more sad it's going to be and that's the paradox of what we're talking about is the more you secure something the more you trap that something. 01:30.12 mikebledsoe Set Yeah a certain future is boring. 01:44.85 Max Shank Because there are really only two ways forward. There's exposure and avoidance and if you only use avoidance as a strategy you will have greater security but you also have a much lower quality of life in your world Your universe your unique perspective. 02:03.69 mikebledsoe Yeah, well, this also makes me think about the was it Nicholas Taleb nasim his approach in the book anti-fragile anytime I think about securing the future or investing or health and fitness I gravitate towards his philosophy. 02:03.89 Max Shank Will shrink. 02:23.41 mikebledsoe And his his first really well-known book that came out was the black swan and black swan was about black swan events those are events that are unpredictable and black swan is is a reference to ah europeans that thought that only swans could be white. And they never considered that there'd be a swan that was any other color and then some of these europeans hopped on boats and traveled to other parts of the world and one day they see a black swan and it was mind-bending because it was never considered that. That could ever be true anyway and so the future and well the the past is is littered with black swan events. We think we know what's going to happen or we think we can prepare for every eventuality but the truth is is you can't actually prepare for every eventuality. And I find that anytime I start trying to set up an avoidance system for every potential problem that might come up I actually end up getting really bogged down and creativity goes down and it becomes very difficult to move forward and so ah. In his book. Black Swan he starts getting into the anti-fragile conversation then he goes into anti-fragile conversation and in that book and he ah basically says that most humans think about systems as either being. Ah, fragile or robust they're on the spectrum of fragility to robustness and so I have a Toyota Tacoma. It's considered a very robust vehicle but over time it will become more fragile. It. It will not make improvements and the same with my computer. These are systems that are truly fragile systems but the human body and he also talks about he makes a lot of comparisons between the human body and the economy is there are certain types of systems that do well with some uncertainty. So if you. If you expose your body to in exercise to novelty in small doses. You will actually see improvements and the system improves. Overall if you if you throw ah too much novelty all at once then then you start breaking the system down of course. But really separating out. How do you What's the difference between a fragile to robust system that spectrum versus something that exists outside of that which is anti-fragile system and so that's how I like to think about. 05:10.34 mikebledsoe When I think about my finances when I think about my business when I think about my health when I think about a lot of these systems some people if they're trying to prepare for every eventuality actually end up building a fragile system instead of. Thinking about it as how do I build an anti-fragile system and when they do that having a hiccup in the system may be a little uncomfortable in the short term but in the long term It turns out being a really good one so just bringing that to the forefront as I. When I think about securing my future I think about those things. 05:48.90 Max Shank Yeah I like to think of adaptability as the Chief characteristic of survival and Thrival which is not a word but I like to use it Anyway. Ah from a fitness perspective. Adding chaos to your training is really valuable. In fact, culture the whole purpose of culture is to reduce unpredictability and to reduce chaos and if you do not. Do something to compensate for that. You get really sad human beings. That's why you need to have games where you introduce chaos in a relatively safe environment like I don't know if you're familiar with pushing hands from TaiChi. 06:43.69 mikebledsoe E. 06:45.99 Max Shank There's couple different types. But basically you and your friend try to push the other one or pull the other one so that they have to take a step and your feed are firmly planted and this chaos is like a more appropriate version of wrestling. For the average person. So the ability to adapt and react to an external force is really the chief characteristic of survivability. So I think adaptability number one culture is to reduce. Chaos and unpredictability so we need games and we need to dose ourselves with chaos if we want to really thrive and then just in terms of the the systems let's say there's ah, a fine line between prudence. And paranoia right? because the most the most robust system really would be to live with maybe 1 other person or a family on a farm by the river in a bomb shelter. And only leave when it's absolutely necessary so you increase your predictability but you also decrease your openness. That's probably why the further you go down that rabbit hole of securing and protecting the less creative and open and expansive. You are right. 08:17.73 mikebledsoe Well Also Chaos is still going to find its way in going back to the black swan event is you when you create I think when people create a high level predicted Predictability. There is this inability to deal with the the chaotic and. Environment that that will come no matter what the black swan event's gonna show up no matter what and the more predictable you've been trying to make it the harder it is to adapt to that situation. 08:49.54 Max Shank I don't think they're mutually exclusive but I understand what you're saying I think the more cards you have in your hand. The better off you are I think the benefit of living in a culture is that there's a lot of redundancy built into the system. Where I live. There are a lot of people who are electricians and plumbers and auto mechanics. So if one of them goes down I can go on to the next one if 2 of them go down I can go on to the next one and if you're relying only on yourself. You have to. Gain a ton of skills or you have to live in a very primitive way where you're not really able to use technology I just had my laptop sent in to get the battery fixed and before I sent it in. 09:39.38 mikebledsoe Drew um, did you remove all the videos of you with hookers smoking crack. 09:44.65 Max Shank Oh no no I just have it in a secret folder. Why would I get rid of those hookers love crack some of them do ah but I looked online first before I sent it in to get fixed. And it was 75 steps to replace the battery and you can buy a kit and do all those and it was 75 steps and I was like oh my god if I mess up one of these steps I can totally destroy my whole computer. So I ended up getting it sent in and. Especially with technology you have to recognize that no man is an island and that's why you really want to have kind of a segue here a little bit you want to have a social network ah a radical rolodex. Of. Not only service people but also friends that you can count on so there's that safety net we talked about a little bit before the 3 safety nets financial fitness and friendships basically and it's so valuable. Have those relationships with different providers of service and different providers of products and it really does increase your security and survivability. 11:09.16 mikebledsoe Yeah, well I think about what's happening what I'm witnessing happening that continually which is ah the decentralization of things and the the format of of our our current economy. Being very capitalist I think it's going to just become more capitalist but the capitalism has allowed for a lot of that redundancy a lot of that the natural configuration if somebody goes down somebody will fill that spot and it doesn't have to be ah. Decided to buy a person's like oh we need to change this thing the system pretty much just adapts to whatever's going on in the environment in a capitalist society and as things decentralized more right now. It's like everybody is trading with everybody. But if we have a currency that is no. That not everyone agrees on in the future if if the dollar loses its value to a point where now we're going into decentralized currencies then there's this potential for a more tribalist type of society where you may not be conducting commerce. With certain groups of people and I think there's going to be an opportunity for these groups to segment and now I'm only go do business with people who are using these four currencies which I also use because the people that use these currencies share the same values and so whereas. Previously things were done geographically or by nationality things are now split up by individual values and and can be distributed throughout the entire world instantaneously and so I think that as far as the friendship goes and. Ah, social goes and economics go is having um you know if things deteriorate socially in in society as as it seems they they may go right now. It's good to make those friends have that person on board. You know have. 3 electricians on board have a few farmers that you're in contact with because the way that things have been done right now is there's a lot of single points of failure. For instance, you know through regulation Usda. You know you have to have a Usda butcher butchering the meat for it to be shipped across state lines and now you have these states that have almost no ability to birch butcher animals and distribute food and so ah, there's gonna be I think that there's gonna be a time where we. 13:56.25 mikebledsoe We actually have to create our own network instead of just relying on I'll just go to the grocery store and pick this shit up and I've already begun doing that I've been on the phone with a woman just last week where we she she's in contact with regenerative farms and and it's helping distribute those goods locally. So. It's I think that yeah being able to just go online and pull up a technician to do this or that may become more difficult in the future and I think that the level of responsibility for having to create those connections yourself may go up. 14:33.99 Max Shank Yeah I mean unfortunately the closer you get to the barter system the less comparative advantage you have because you have to have an agreed upon currency. That's the whole advantage of money. 14:49.46 mikebledsoe E. 14:52.87 Max Shank Is that it makes it so easy to trade Things. We would never have been able to produce computers and yachts and trucks and all these crazy things like if you think about it I'm in shock when I. Drive my truck around because of how impossible it would be for me to make anything like that. Even if I knew exactly how to make it and what that's that's what I'm That's what I'm saying it would be. 15:21.40 mikebledsoe I would totally not make it I could have every step laid out and be given all the parts still not doing it. Yeah. 15:29.63 Max Shank It would be impossible just to gather. The materials would be Impossible. So The fact that we figured out how to trade with each other in such a hyper efficient way is the only thing that has allowed us to do all that so you know it. It's frustrating sometimes because the only thing a leader really needs to do is not fuck up the money and not get into any ah Wars or conflicts. That's actually the only thing a leader really needs to do ah and if you do those things though. 15:58.47 mikebledsoe Ah. 16:07.37 Max Shank It gets really bad so preparing for those eventualities is valuable I think gosh you know we can start getting into the nuts and bolts of preparedness. Certainly it's good to own at least. 1 property because you got to live somewhere and as the money devalues because we don't know if it'll be hyperinflation or stagflation or we we can't predict those sorts of things. 16:43.68 mikebledsoe Yeah, the the the variables that are currently present have never been present before we we are in a black swan event. So we have no idea what the result will be. 16:44.26 Max Shank But rents. 16:53.11 Max Shank Yeah, we don't know what's going to happen next exactly. But it's good to have an Id in your mind just have your best guess because I think we've talked about it once before it's like buying Insurance. You don't ah buy insurance for. Everything you just buy insurance based on what is legally required or based on what probability you assign to a certain thing happening right? So What is the probability that the value of a dollar or you know let's say that just a. Keep it simple suddenly a gallon of gas is $200 and you're like whoa. This is really bad but then you have to in your mind assign a probability to that. Oh and a certain timeframe and it gets very difficult to do those things. So. 17:43.75 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 17:50.99 Max Shank Barring that which is unknowable. What do we know for sure that will not change and that is human nature will not change and so if you are productive yourself and you provide a skill or a service or a product that people will always want. That's always going to be very valuable so that's like your your functional safety net. What function do you perform. 18:15.70 mikebledsoe Yeah I I think about the 2 things that that I am I do I was talking to Ashley about this Saturday which is I secure my future by continually creating value and investing in emerging economies or emerging. Technologies and if I do those 2 things I'm not really that worried about my financial future now the other the other the 2 other f's we were talking about It's not relevant as relevant to that I mean the creating value is pretty relevant to the the. The friendships the social piece because if you're valuable people will want to be your friend. 18:53.24 Max Shank Is. 18:59.80 Max Shank No question I think that having a group of people that you can be open and honest with who have your back and you have their back. You can't really put a price on that. So. It's good to nurture those things on a regular basis. That's really not natural for me to do I tend to be more in my own head working on projects and not really think to just reach out to people but it's something that I've gotten a little bit better with and it makes a difference. You know invite a friend out to lunch or throw a frisbee around and it can go a really long way, especially given what's going on right now where people have probably been socializing less than ever in Maybe any society for a very long Time. You know. I Guess ah neighboring Hunter gatherers probably socialized with ah their neighbors less than we do, but it's It's not a lot so reinforcing Those relationships is huge. 20:04.52 mikebledsoe Yeah, and they didn't have ah well what? what's interesting is in the last couple years. The amount of actual social interactions gone way down, but the but the we'll call it the the fast food of. 20:19.55 Max Shank Basement. 20:24.36 mikebledsoe Social engagement has gone up. You know the Facebook instagram all the social media platforms. So I remember I was listening to a thing that what's his name. The guy the dilbert guy. What's his name Scott Adams he was talking a guy anyways. Um. 20:34.87 Max Shank Scott Adams 20:43.28 mikebledsoe Brilliant in some ways not in others but he he was talking. Yeah come on now I Well he would. 20:46.30 Max Shank Not like you. You're brilliant in every way wait but real quick though he has an excellent Youtube video on writing just and the reason I'm plugging. It is. It's free. It's maybe a half hour long and writing. Or communication is one of the most high yield skills. There is so give give that a look in terms of securing your future. 21:08.12 mikebledsoe It is yeah writing copywriting if you can write copy that is just you're able to write things that cause people to buy shit then you'll never go hungry. Ah yeah, so. 21:23.89 Max Shank No way. 21:28.40 mikebledsoe So Scott Adams was talking about somebody was challenged saying you know social interaction has gone down. He was like really seems like you know social interaction is higher than ever online and and that's why I say maybe he's not all that smart because he was making an argument for. Being we have more social interaction we ever have which is being dictated by algorithms and and you know of course humans tend to to create their own bubbles for sure like I surround myself with light-minded people where there's not a high level of disagreement. Ah, but the. 21:48.92 Max Shank Um, yeah. 21:57.50 Max Shank Oh yeah. 22:04.55 mikebledsoe When there is disagreement. We can actually have a conversation and work our way through it whereas online that doesn't really happen. It just further divide is what happens and so um, you know a lot some people even people who are considered to be really brilliant like Scott Adams who who is brilliant in a lot of ways. You know he challenges that and I don't know what kind of world he lives in where he think and he may not have experienced that at all. He may have been surrounded by friends this whole time. Um, but. 22:30.70 Max Shank Well, it also is a personality type difference and you know I've read a bunch of his books and they're very good. He's a hyper Introvert So this situation for him is almost perfect. 22:41.31 mikebledsoe Yeah. 22:47.10 mikebledsoe Probably been calming. He's probably been able to chill out. 22:49.20 Max Shank He gets to he gets to hang out at home more. There are a lot less social obligations that you have to fulfill. Um, it's never been a better time for introverts and ugly people because you can stay home all day and put a mask over your face. 23:05.86 mikebledsoe Um, well there was a did you see the study that people people now find other people more generally more attractive when wearing a mask. 23:08.89 Max Shank Ugly introverts have never lived so good. Ah. 23:18.64 Max Shank I mean it works in ah Saudi Arabia oh very mysterious. Ah, but you know someone like that. 23:22.70 mikebledsoe Yeah I mean to that point I've been in the Middle East and I I was on a deployment I hadn't seen hardly any women for months and then I arrived somewhere where they're wearing the. Full facial covering all I can see with their eyes. So sexy. My imagination just fucking went wild. It didn't take very long at all couple months. No women and then full on Bura and that was it's true and I've seen I've seen some people where I've been on the airplane. 23:43.89 Max Shank Now we're talking totally yeah, totally. 23:59.66 mikebledsoe Like oh that girl looks pretty good. She pulls her mask down like ah. 24:00.42 Max Shank Right? Well, it's like why guys grow beards so we can hide the bottom half of our face. It's like you don't know if I have a chin. Maybe I have a really strong chin. Ah. 24:14.53 mikebledsoe That's right. 24:16.99 Max Shank There are a lot of examples of what you're talking about with Scott Adams there and I think ah nasim Nicholas Teleleb is another good example where you have people who are really intelligent in 1 regard and then they just are so far off the mark in another regard and. We're so locked into this cause-effect relationship for health and we're trapped by the way that we do experiments and who runs the experiments and who pays for the experiment. So if you're. Taking everything very literally. You're only doing what is proven ah proven quote by science quote again, you're not going to recognize the value of sharing the same physical space with another person. You know you and i. Have explored that realm quite a lot where even just being in the same room as someone if you're not saying anything can be a really rewarding experience and it can bring you a lot of joy. And calmness and peace and resonance. There's a harmonization of 2 living beings and if you are caught up in the explicit and more material. Sort of thing you're going to discount the value of that and so in a sense you're right? It's it's easier to socialize now than ever through a screen ah through the telephone and it's better than nothing but it's not the same. 26:07.51 mikebledsoe Yeah I'll go back to what you're saying like the the quote unquote proven for people who aren't seeing the video of us is anytime anyone starts talking about something's being proven to me. That's an immediate red flag. Someone goes. Oh. It's proven that that I go immediately I I Dis If if they got a Ph D beside their name or they consider themselves a scientist I in my from my perspective they just discredited themselves because any good scientists look saying the word proven. Is a marketing term. It's not a scientific term.. There are very few Proofs in Science. There's the only time you would talk about Proofs in Science is it's It's a mathematical equation. It's a it's hardcore physics. There are laws involved anything else. 26:46.96 Max Shank Totally. 27:03.00 mikebledsoe What I want to hear from somebody who's a scientist I Want to hear is there is evidence to suggest that http://dot.dot the problem is it's not a very good marketing.. It's not a good way to convince people of taking your side So just want to throw that out there. So as you're listening to. Quote unquote scientists out there talking about what's being proven and what's not usually if they're a bureaucrat in some way and they've got a Ph D and they start saying that I I immediately you know start questioning. Whatever it is. They're saying. 27:35.54 Max Shank Well, it's like ah the phrase caused by cells way more than correlates with correlates with doesn't sell shit and if we don't know. 27:45.70 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 27:53.81 Max Shank The best diet for people which we can't know because I don't know if you know this but people are different this whole idea that we should all eat the same stuff is freaking Insane yeah you and I we should all We should all take the same medication. Ah, you know. 27:57.57 mikebledsoe Ah, no should we should We take the same medications to globally you know. 28:12.16 Max Shank We should. We should all eat soybeans for the greater good too. Probably yeah, no correlation versus causation is probably my biggest gripe and it has to do with essentially gang mentality people are trying to protect their authority. And make these claims that x causes y when really it's just that x correlates with y and it would be a lot easier to have a conversation about that if there wasn't such a fanaticism around these things. Let's have an open conversation about correlation. Versus causation and god it's it's hard to see if you're not in the industry yourself, but the amount of people throwing $10 words around is like so unnecessary. Maybe that just irks me because. I I know what those words mean but I also know that it just makes it harder for the individual to understand and when you say something like post brandial forward ambulation. Why don't you just say go for a walk after you eat. So so it's like so ridiculous to me? well but that's just yeah, that's just it. It sounds much fancier if you use these fancy terms and that that is what sells and um. 29:29.30 mikebledsoe Ah, well I won't I won't sound smart to the other scientists I won't be able to impress people. 29:46.73 Max Shank You have to protect yourself from that speaking of securing your future I think making sure you can't make sure all the way but making sure you don't get swindled by the popularity paradox and the popularity paradox is something I use to describe. The fact that um things that are popular are usually only so because they're striking or different.. It's like a purple cow is going to be more attention grabbing but you probably shouldn't eat. It. 30:23.29 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, that the more popular something is the more I I question it something that like I just look at Mainstream and I've had people ask me and they go. Why are you? Why are you so extreme and. So alternative in every area of your life. It seems like if I if I uncover an aspect in my Life. You will go Wow. You're so extreme or whatever and I go look if it's mainstream if everybody is agreeing on it I start asking questions. And I start looking the opposite way because I'm just looking at the results of the mainstream if the results of the mainstream were you know, ah beautifully healthy bodies financially secure and everything was going really great I would pay attention to what the mainstream is. 30:58.74 Max Shank The. 31:05.94 Max Shank Totally. 31:16.55 mikebledsoe Doing and and follow suit. But when I look at the mainstream I go the results of what's happening in the mainstream are so poor that to listen to any of those people giving advice on how to live life or to do things their way. And it would just be sad and for people who understand Health and fitness the the food pyramid's a great example of of that or the most the most predominant food in the grocery store is corn and there's all these there's there's. 31:39.27 Max Shank For. 31:46.90 Max Shank A. 31:51.54 mikebledsoe There are these things like the food pyramid and and the predominance of corn that bring into question is like oh should I be eating corn if that's what everyone else is eating and they look like shit and ah and should I be eating like the food pyramid because the average person. They've been exposed. That's the only information they've really been exposed to on how to eat and they look and feel like shit. So let's look at something else. So the same thing with with economics and with investing you know if everyone's doing an ira. Everyone's doing an Ira and doing ah a. This and that and s and p five hundred I I look you might be able to have your investment match inflation. Hopefully probably not this year but in previous years you you probably outperformed it just kind of depends on here and there. But. You know the average person is not making that kind of investment but even out of the people who are investing the mainstream is that and there returns the amount of money you have to to invest in order to retire if you're gonna put it into a typical ira or something like that is ridiculous. You have to start investing in your twenty s and hopefully you'll be able to take some out in your 60 s. And it just it that to me does not make any sense so I look at alternative investing strategies as well and so and to me that's where I was talking about investing in in emerging technology. So web 3.0 to me right now is the emerging technology anything that's web 3 o is interesting to me tesla stock is interesting to me there. There. Ah, there's a new. Ah there's a new. Strategy for mining bitcoin that Exxon Mobileil has put into place but there's also some small companies that have ah partnered with some some oil drilling companies that the flair. So. There's a lot of methane gas that's produced when drilling for oil and that's where you see those fire stacks and they're just letting that air out well burning up that methane and creating a lot of co 2 in fact, and they're being taxed on that co 2 but they figured out how to capture that methane. And use that as a fuel for servers to mine cryptocurrencies and so now they're going to save 50% on their taxes and they're now mining cryptocurrencies. So to me I look at that and go that's a very clever emerging technology that's based on. 34:21.73 Max Shank There you go. 34:37.71 mikebledsoe What's happening and and blockchain and web 3.0 and so I'm looking at all this and I go that's where I want to put my attention. Ah the majority of it for me and of course I'm I'm someone who's who's always trying to stay ahead of the curve and not be in the mainstream. 34:54.63 Max Shank Investment Strategy can look a lot of different ways. You can get very rich selling wood pellets. Ah I I tend to do kind of the opposite of what you're talking about which is more more to look at things that are. 34:56.40 mikebledsoe So. 35:08.22 mikebledsoe Yeah. 35:14.39 Max Shank Generating cash and creating real profit right now that has a bad public perception If we're talking about individual companies to invest in something that people need something that is delivered at a profit. Something that isn't going to change in the future but there are a lot of things that get publicly beaten down because they're not. They don't sound as cool. Um, so it's tricky. The truth is though if you don't know. 35:41.00 mikebledsoe Um, yeah. 35:50.90 Max Shank Ah, you can spend the time to teach yourself, but you probably would be better off investing in growing your own business I Assume most of the people listening to this own their own business. So um, investing into your own ability to generate income and then investing into a single. Property that you can live in so you're not just spending money on rent every month before you worry about investing into other companies because you can get a way better return betting on yourself. 36:17.70 mikebledsoe Yeah. 36:23.36 mikebledsoe Well that that's a predominant view and which which I held for a long time which is if I'm going to reinvest in my business What's what's a better place to reinvest the problem is I I lacked diversity. And my portfolio basically and so my business didn't do well which is not always in my control then now I'm fucked to so the the frame that I've I've adopted in the last year is I treat my business as an income producing asset. 36:40.56 Max Shank Right? right? totally. 36:59.67 mikebledsoe It's not a place to build Wealth Wealth is built by other high leverage income producing Income Producing assets and what I'm looking for is the highest leverage that means it requires the least amount of effort for me to get the highest returns possible. 37:18.58 Max Shank So investing. Basically. 37:18.97 mikebledsoe And so if I'm investing my own. Yeah, but if I'm investing in my own business and I'm still working in my business. It's actually not a very high leverage. But if I become a a true. Yeah, well you want to become a I don't think anything is passive. But. 37:26.14 Max Shank Right? I see so you're talking about passive investing right. 37:37.38 mikebledsoe Some is more active than others and so like even in the stock market. 37:41.29 Max Shank Passive meaning you're not doing any work or management. You know you can trade certainly but right, but okay so you could hire you could hire a fund manager you could hire a fund manager I suppose would be the the. 37:45.11 mikebledsoe Um, that's still managing though you're stopping a you're giving it energy. Yeah, you do it all the politicians do yeah so and they can claim that they they oh I didn't know I was investing in Lockheed Martin 24 hours before the war with Russia was announced. 37:56.92 Max Shank Least effort. What's that what. 38:11.39 Max Shank Ah, well. 38:13.51 mikebledsoe There's ah that you Nancy Pelosi you know one of the the biggest offenders of taking advantage of inside knowledge for the purpose of investing there was a Twitter account that tweeted every one of her trades. 38:19.55 Max Shank Um, oh yeah, yeah, what a surprise. 38:30.81 mikebledsoe And then Twitter bandit which is a very interesting thing. Yeah, but going back to I really like to put money I think you're right invest in your own ability to create value so that you can continue to have income that produces income initial income. And then ah you know own a home so that you're not just paying rent because she does hit the fan and look my mortgage is set I'm paying the same amount. The the dollar could lose half its value which it may and. Which basically means I got a cheaper house and what good for me. But if I was paying rent. What what do you think? Rent's going to do rent's gonna go. It's gonna skyrocket. It has to so actually if you're a homeowner you almost want and and most of your stuff's in real estate inflation. 39:10.96 Max Shank You're locked in. 39:16.74 Max Shank Um, it has to. 39:27.76 mikebledsoe Could be seen as ah as a positive thing hyperinflation is not because that's just disrupts the entire economy. But yeah, so and then the third one is so invest in your own ability to create value and get your property and then invest in high leverage assets things that just produce income which I think is what you were saying what you want to. Investment things that are throwing off cash now not something where I'm going to put money in and hopefully it goes up in value and I'll be able to take some out the future is that accurate. 39:55.80 Max Shank Yeah, yes, and it's tricky too because um, if there was an investment that didn't follow the rules of risk and reward everyone would invest into it so risk and reward are proportional and. 40:07.88 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 40:13.95 Max Shank If you buy I don't know let's say Tesla right now you're probably not going to hundred x your money over the next few years I don't see how it could happen I'm already stunned that that company is worth so much. It makes no sense is divorced. 40:21.21 mikebledsoe No. 40:33.60 Max Shank It's divorced from reality. Um, so we could have a separate conversation about that. But there are companies that you could purchase that can hundred x over the next couple years but they can also go to 0 40:45.19 mikebledsoe Um, um. 40:51.39 Max Shank So The risk is much higher and the reward is much higher. So If you're looking to diversify your wealth then it would make sense to be really clear on that risk reward. You can. Only gain more if you risk more generally speaking if it's going to be a passive investment because you're not in control of what a cryptocurrency is going to do. You're not in control of what a company's going to do and usually the the more secure it is the less volatile it is. 41:26.41 mikebledsoe yeah yeah I I this is where you and I differ because you you tend to go more on the conservative route and so that the 2 things I invest the 2 things I've invested in so far. Ah. 41:28.55 Max Shank The less It has the potential to grow. So. 41:36.55 Max Shank Is true. 41:44.20 mikebledsoe The most heavily has been startups and the second would be crypto and I've 2 of the 3 are winners and the but 1 of them which was my biggest investment ah went to 0 in a month 41:51.11 Max Shank M. 42:01.10 Max Shank Right. 42:02.50 mikebledsoe So I was just I basically just took money put it in the toilet and flushed it that one hurt and I I learned to I yeah I learned I learned to vet a little better. Um and then cryptocurrencies. 42:06.45 Max Shank Might as well have bought a boat. 42:13.37 Max Shank Well, you have a different skill set too. You have a different skill set too. So your investment style matches your personality type it matches your skill set. You have a lot of experience with startups I've got almost. 42:21.19 mikebledsoe E a. Um, I Also spot Trends in the Market. Um I'm very good at seeing patterns in the market and I can tell when people are going to be interested in something. 42:35.33 Max Shank Can you can you let me know next time you have one of these predictions nostra Daic Theta a crypt the cryptocurrency which could certainly go to 0 right. 42:42.18 mikebledsoe Theta Theta Yeah, yeah, it's got utility. Um I doubt it because a lot.. It's a video streaming. It's got a video streaming utility and a lot of it. Big video streaming companies have already adopted it it it ah it reduces the amount of Bandwidth necessary to exchange more data I don't know how the fuck it works but it works Um, and. 43:12.73 Max Shank Sounds like the the the company from that show Silicon Valley pied piper like takes your data and makes it smaller. That's one of the greatest shows ever as hilarious. 43:20.75 mikebledsoe That's right I Love that show. Ah, it's a good show. Oh man. Yeah, if you if you're in the entrepreneurial world or ever been around startup ah in the startup world. It's It's ah pretty good. 43:35.41 Max Shank You can win more by not diversifying all the richest people the fastest didn't diversify Zuckerberg no diversity. Ah Elon Musk not they're not diversifying. It's like a a spike. There's no. 43:37.29 mikebledsoe Ah. 43:42.82 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 43:53.52 mikebledsoe Yeah, no. 43:53.68 Max Shank Well-roundedness to the investment. There's no there's no pyramid of like I have some here and some here and some here and some here and you can go further and you can earn more and you can also lose everything so you just have to find the appetite for risk reward that will. Allow you to sleep at night because if you earn a little bit less but you sleep soundly every night. It's probably a good idea and there's a good phrase to be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy. And if you can avoid being too greedy. You won't be ah you know having heart palpitations when you're thirty years old because you're worried that you know all your investments are gonna go to 0 so you just gotta you gotta to match that. 44:44.76 mikebledsoe Oh yeah, what? but. 44:49.68 Max Shank Mentality and what kind of Lifestyle you want to live and I feel like the advantage with investing and with insurance and if you want to stockpile food and cash and gold and that kind of thing. It's ah set it and forget it. You don't want to be. Thinking about it all the time that defeats the purpose of buying Insurance. You know. 45:10.64 mikebledsoe Ah, yeah, but this whole thing reminds me of my girlfriend and I about we had been dating for about five or six months and you know I I was heavily investing in crypto and and. She had some money to invest in something. Yeah, you might want to look at crypto I can't tell you what to invest in I'm not you know I'm just saying hey I I like my returns have been pretty fucking. Good. This is the an example of what can happen and I've been pretty conservative so in the crypto world I'm conservative. Ah. I'm not looking for I'm not looking for the unicorns right? So there's you know, really solid fundamentals and all this because well part of it is because I I look at the dot com era and I see a lot of. 45:48.41 Max Shank Blows blows my mind. Um, yeah. 46:05.97 mikebledsoe Similarities between web 3.0 and and http://the.comboom bust and which means that 99% of the your invest of of these companies these coins all these these nfts they're all going to go to nothing ah but 1% is going to become. You know Google Youtube Twitter Facebook you know these these new things will emerge so pay attention and invest in things and you don't have to get in that early if you want to make if you want to turn you know $10000 into a b. Then yeah, you might have to get in and when something's selling at ¢3 ah per per coin. But I'll get in when it's 10 or fifteen I don't give a shit because it's going to 500 I mean I'm gonna get a ah hundred x out of it. So um, yeah, that. Um, I'm fairly conservative. My girlfriend gets into the market and she is checking it every day and you know it's going up and she's so excited it goes down. She's she's like what the fuck freaking out and I go stop looking at that shit the only the only time you should look at it is if it's not going to. 47:06.57 Max Shank Is it. 47:15.90 Max Shank Right. 47:21.46 mikebledsoe Either You have the the constitution to where it's not going to bother you. You're not getting an emotional swing out of it being good or bad or you like what you were saying is set and forget it buy a bunch of cryptocurrencies and then put it on a decentralized wallet somewhere folks not not an exchange. 47:26.28 Max Shank Home. 47:41.32 mikebledsoe Not on coinbase not on Voyager get on a decentralized wallet like trust wallet and or exodus. 47:50.50 Max Shank I'm I'm waiting for Mike's investing handbook. It sounds like you have a figured out man. 47:53.69 mikebledsoe I Ah my I'm gonna be working with my buddy he he built a course I'm trying to get him I want to interview him and then promo the course because I the the information I've gotten from him has been incredibly valuable. 48:11.30 Max Shank Nice there you go. 48:12.54 mikebledsoe And he knows what the fuck he's talking about he comes from the financial background so he used to be in in bait he used to be in banking and then he's and and so you know he he worked in debt and then he got into crypto so the guy the guy's been thinking about money for twenty plus years in ways that we haven't. And but yeah, set it and forget it. 48:34.22 Max Shank You know what you were saying what you were saying earlier about your girlfriend there checking it all the time you know you wouldn't check the value of your house every single day if you owned a house. Oh my god. 48:45.68 mikebledsoe Oh she does that too. We just bought a house. She's like checking the value the homes in the area because because because the market is actually moving really fast where we live. It's like oh we probably already made like $50000 like maybe. 49:01.33 Max Shank Well yeah, maybe and you know, checking something like that all the time can can be good if if you're a trader if you're looking to move stuff around quickly and when you have a smaller account. It's easier to move more of your. 49:12.69 mikebledsoe Yeah. 49:20.62 Max Shank Percentage of your portfolio more quickly so you have more agility and you could be more nimble but it kind of reminds me, you were talking about the pelosi trading thing earlier and I was just thinking about how. We have technology like never before just based on technology Alone. We should all be working less and earning more and living healthier and living longer. But we don't and there are all these traps out there. 49:46.15 mikebledsoe E. 49:56.28 Max Shank And people check every day like oh what's going on in the world and it's probably it's It's probably the biggest trap there is because it takes you out of the here and now the flow which is the only thing that's going to. 50:01.48 mikebledsoe Um, that's the same thing right? Yeah yeah. 50:14.94 Max Shank Really bring you fulfillment when you become the task. Whatever it is. You're doing um people who retire early they gotta find something to do ah sometimes the only thing they find to do is drinking themselves to an early grave. So. You get these people. Maybe they owned a chain of dental offices retire at 40 They got to go out on the golf course or learn carpentry or start a band with their other old friends at the country Club. You got to do something and you got to do something that takes you into the here and now and into that flow. And the worst thing you can do is try to stay abreast of things that have no ah that you have no chance of influencing your life in a positive way as a result of knowing these things So when I think about. The Ah Friend safety Net which is really like a psychological safety net because you should be your own. Best friend Hopefully ah, you're you're abusing yourself mentally by trying to stay on top of what's going on and oh this.? Ah. Dude is winning at swimming against the ladies and I'm outraged about it and what the fuck it's like who cares? are you gonna do something about it. No then like just live your life and it's hard because it's very entertaining I think getting trapped. 51:33.67 mikebledsoe A. 51:49.40 Max Shank Into a tribal identity is like 1 of the worst things you can do you're like oh I identify as he him or she her or I identify as trans or maybe I I could identify as black or whatever. 52:05.57 mikebledsoe Or even liberal or conservative. 52:07.50 Max Shank Ah, well God Yeah, why would you want to like wear their logo on your t-shirt like are you out of your mind. They don't care about you? Um, so I think about that as being one of the biggest traps there is I think. 52:23.43 mikebledsoe Well you you you don't have to ah those traps work because. 52:25.70 Max Shank If Your identity is if your identity is based on. Ah if your identity is based on a group it means that your individual character is Worthless. You're like looking for something Oh I'm part of this group. Not. I'm me and I can do this this that or the other thing is just I'm on this team if that's all you have to offer is I'm on this Team. You suck as a person probably. 52:54.10 mikebledsoe Yeah, well, it's easy you you can stop thinking for yourself and adopt whatever somebody is telling you you should be mad about or what you should care about because you now fit into this this group identity and it's um. 52:59.38 Max Shank Right. 53:13.71 mikebledsoe It's really really sad. Yeah, it's really really sad, but and it's hard for us to tell people this because I've told people this before and they're like well it's easy. You're a white guy and I was like I was like yeah what did you see? did you see ah somebody posted the other day. 53:13.87 Max Shank It's mental illness. It's mental illness. It's like it's like if you. 53:26.20 Max Shank I'm a black lady How dare you assume my race or gender. 53:33.20 mikebledsoe About ah the if you identify as a woman as ah as a woman owned business. So if your business is owned by a woman then you have all this access to these government grants and all this all this stuff and I was like oh this is brilliant I can just. 53:44.70 Max Shank Amazing. 53:49.94 mikebledsoe Identify as a woman because it obviously doesn't seem to be a problem right now and some people were posting like oh then you would get you know that would be fraud I'm like okay so do we have men and women or or are we going to reward some people for. Being born a certain way. 54:08.40 Max Shank You know it's kind of like these otherwise healthy people are electing to participate in Schizophrenia every day by the way they're using their computers. Like plugging into the hive mind to have all these voices yelling at them of they should be this way or they should be this way and then they're yelling back into the void. No, you should be this way fucker and it's like whoa my God and look we have. 54:33.26 mikebledsoe Ah. 54:40.49 Max Shank Such crazy technology. We have so much leverage potential at our fingertips and we're using it to yell at a stranger about something We don't have any nuanced opinion of we're just carrying water for someone else who's trying to blind us all to the fact that. 54:52.25 mikebledsoe No. 54:57.51 mikebledsoe Um, are you carrying water for Putin Oh my gosh. Um. 55:00.37 Max Shank Ah I don't carry water for anybody. But I recognize but I recognize but I recognize that carrying water blindly for Ukraine isn't necessarily a good idea either and I have the confidence to admit that I don't know a god damn thing about North Asian Fucking Politics you know what? I'm saying it's it's crazy that everyone has such a strong opinion about these things but all it does is distract all it does is distract from you know I feel like a ah a record that's just on repeats like the only thing that really matters is jurisdiction. 55:20.54 mikebledsoe Yeah, well, it's it's funny because if you come out with no opinion. 55:39.44 Max Shank And Authority who's in charge and when do do they get to police that authority of theirs and if you're a leader. The only thing you shouldn't do is fuck up the money or get into Wars and that's what's happening and we're all just like but what about this guy swimming. 55:43.32 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 55:58.92 mikebledsoe Um, ah it's incredible. 56:01.50 Max Shank It's like yes it Yes, it's stupid. Yes, it's stupid. Okay, but also there's there's not like a healthy priority list. You know I'm saying it's it's insane. 56:09.91 mikebledsoe Oh I totally get it why why does why was that the most talked about thing for 2 or 3 days last week when. 56:19.20 Max Shank Because it's hiding other stuff that was way more sinister. No question and look if it bleeds it leads I get it. But you don't have to participate in it. You will definitely live more angrily. If you are constantly plugging into that thing and I get really excited about it because I've coached a lot of people both ah business wise coaching training wise and as soon as you realize that the biggest limiting factor in getting what you want is you. 56:39.15 mikebledsoe Are. 56:52.74 Max Shank Then your whole perspective changes about everything because that's also the only thing that you have control over. Yeah I think ah. 56:53.97 mikebledsoe But but it's much easier to blame other people for my lack come on. How am I supposed to use my scapegoats to feel better about myself for not doing shit. 57:06.62 Max Shank You know what that makes sense I I would be so much better off if that guy wasn't swimming against the ladies. It's I think that's where the most of my problems are being caused good God man. Okay, so. 57:16.65 mikebledsoe Ah, yeah. 57:24.88 Max Shank What do we got here. We have. Um, we have a culture the the culture is sick but the technology is awesome. So if you can avoid participating in the culture at large and create a group a family ah of friends and relationships that engage in. Healthy Behavior. You essentially have the keys to the Kingdom psychologically if if you pretty much avoid the media ah and focus on improving your own life. That's also the best way to lead is. By example, you know you just live your life The way you want to on your terms. And you'll be way better off and you'll find that you have lots more time. Everyone's like oh I'm so busy I'm so busy, but the the truth is it's more of ah, a verbal tick to let people know that you're not Lazy. It's not I don't have time I'm so Busy. You're basically just telling them I'm not lazy I'm not lazy I'm not lazy right? but. 58:23.93 mikebledsoe Yeah, or I have a I have a terrible method for setting priorities. 58:30.42 Max Shank I Can't prioritize my life even with space age technology I can't prioritize my life even with space age technology I'm so busy I'm so busy I have no time I have no time I have no time. It's ridiculous. So ah, ah. 58:41.62 mikebledsoe Yeah I've had I've had students come through. It's It's hilarious students come through and they're like I don't have time to do the program and they're single and living with their mom I go. 58:50.64 Max Shank And. 58:59.28 mikebledsoe You don't have time to do the pro. What what are you doing like you're 23 like what do you? You think you don't have time right now this is gonna be a rough one. There's gonna be a rough life for you. 59:10.40 Max Shank It feel like we got a little off the rails there I think I I think I I think I took us I think I took us right off the rails. You know I get all fired up sometimes. 59:14.18 mikebledsoe We did all right? Let's go Back. It's definitely all your fault. Um, so all right? So securing your future fitness we'll we'll ah we'll start wrapping here. Securing your future fitness How tos. 59:31.78 Max Shank Walk a lot. Um, learn how to prevent falling which is stepping and lunging and learn how to prepare for falling which is rolling and falling. Is a really good example of risk and reward because the probability that you will fall is basically 100%. You're not going to live your life without falling now given a fall There's maybe a less than 1% chance that you will die or maybe a 1 % chance that you will die but a 1 % chance of death should be plenty of motivation to learn how to fall well and learn how to lunge so that you can prevent falling and that's because even though the risk ah probability wise is very low. You will kill yourself in a fall the cost of that error is total death total annihilation so because the cost is so high even if the probability is low. You want to prepare yourself for falling and then the last. 01:00:39.45 mikebledsoe Yeah, you know what it might have been I want to interject here because it might have been you. It might have been another coach that I've been interacting with over the last decade who knows but they talked about a relationship to the ground and ah was a you that use that terminology. Okay. 01:00:44.55 Max Shank Yeah. 01:00:52.91 Max Shank Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. 01:00:59.31 mikebledsoe And and I remember talking to you about that and I really when I started holding that frame my training shifted and I became ah I prioritized my relationship to the ground and then I anytime I came across like my. Ah, like older people in my family I would talk to their their. Yeah they well they fall into bed So The bed is about hip height so they can just like roll into bed. They can roll out and then they. 01:01:22.59 Max Shank They're afraid of the ground they're afraid of the ground a lot of time they're afraid Chest high. 01:01:35.77 mikebledsoe They they fall back into the recliner they fall into their car. They get out. They sit in their office chair. They fall into their office chair. It's all it's got to be cushy and they have no practice whatsoever. Getting up and down off the ground. So a lot of like older family members and things like that they asked me about how to be in better shape because I walk in they're like wow you're 40 so got a 6 pack. Yeah so how do you do that I go well at first I work on my relationship to the ground and then I teach them how to. Get up and down off the ground which basically means like let's get all the way down and then you'll figure it out but practice that and I I put my you're the same way cause I've seen your bed. The bed is on the floor because I know that if I practice if I sleep on the floor that's guaranteed. 01:02:09.60 Max Shank Yeah. 01:02:23.47 mikebledsoe I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna get down at least once that entire day off the ground if I do that for the rest of my life. It's not gonna be a problem for me whereas for most people it is so I just wanna throw that in there because that was so valuable. 01:02:32.33 Max Shank A. 01:02:39.51 mikebledsoe Ah, such a valuable frame for me to adopt. 01:02:40.74 Max Shank I Think our listeners are just wondering why you've seen my bed. 01:02:50.26 mikebledsoe I've seen his steam room too. 01:02:50.63 Max Shank Hey now it wasn't steamy before you got in there. Ah I couldn't I can't help myself. Ah and also ah bone density being being able to support ah heavy-ish. 01:02:57.40 mikebledsoe I Hope what else in. 01:03:10.22 Max Shank Amount of force with your skeleton being able to carry stuff very um, important skills. Um, that's actually what my primal athleticism program is all about it's a daily practice primarily for longevity. You're not going to be. Deadlifting £600 you're not going to be cranking out 20 handstand pushups but you're going to learn how to skip and bounce and roll and crawl and fall and climb and carry things and those are some of the most important skills I think. Just because we're in the fitness industry people overemphasize certain things because it's the brand of their cult. You know people are like oh muscle wasting you got to be careful muscle wasting and it's because we're in essentially the muscle business if you're a dude right? ah. 01:04:03.64 mikebledsoe Yeah, pretty. 01:04:07.23 Max Shank But a lot of skinny people live a really long time. So It's really more important that you are strong and you are able to use your muscles in an adaptable way kind of back to what we talked about before the Chief attribute is elasticity which is really. About adaptability to a wide range of forces at a wide range of angles at a wide range of positions and that's what my elasticity program is all about and it doesn't have to be complicated. Um, you could probably just do TaiChi every day go for walks and. Not eat too much and have friends and live a really long time. Yeah. 01:04:49.30 mikebledsoe Love it. So the things I would add on the fitness side is master your breath so learn learn how to breathe well into every part of your body I Like to think about my. 01:04:57.73 Max Shank Oh. 01:05:07.19 mikebledsoe About I'm breathing through a sphere and I'm breathing into the bottom I'm breathing into my back I'm breathing into the top all of that equally I can I can breathe just into the bottom I can breathe just into the top I have control over where the air flows and I do things like tape my mouth shut. At night to make sure that I'm only nose breathing and game changer and I don't have to take my mouth shut for it to stay shut. But I Still do it just to you know, be sure and so ah for. 01:05:29.25 Max Shank Breathe through that nose Hell yeah, that's game changer for a lot of folks. 01:05:41.41 Max Shank Ah. 01:05:46.42 mikebledsoe For that if if your breath isn't handled then you know everything else will fall apart and put in a lot of emphasis. Ah after Breath Spine being able to feel and articulate at each Vertebrae I Found to be extremely useful and I found that once I. Put my attention there. My athleticism overall went up my hand-eye coordination improved all that happened when I started putting attention on the spine and I have no you know Spine pain anymore whereas I used to have a lot of core issues and. 01:06:21.20 Max Shank Plus your chakers. We all lined up to line the chakris. 01:06:25.39 mikebledsoe Gotta gotta align no chakra's baby and and yeah it ah it helps so those are my 2 big things in regard to movement and then obviously you just got to learn how to eat you got learn what works for you experiment. 01:06:36.11 Max Shank The fitness side. 01:06:43.50 Max Shank We could do a whole thing on the fitness side of longevity because you know all the moving parts are so important you know your feet taking care of your feet I don't want to drag out this conclusion too long, but there's an old Chinese proverb that says we age from the roots up and I don't necessarily. 01:06:44.91 mikebledsoe I'm a big. Yeah. 01:07:03.50 Max Shank Live my life by Proverbs I don't know the origin of but I think it is still good to take care of your feet. 01:07:10.28 mikebledsoe Ah, yeah, so ah, we're just hitting the top ones all right? Yeah, we could go on and on on that so in regard to finance and the money. What's ah overall securing your future. 01:07:28.40 Max Shank Number 1 thing number. Yeah, we sure did I think you gave us a little mini crypto master class there ah teaser it's coming soon. Ah, get get comfortable with less. 01:07:28.91 mikebledsoe We we I think we talked primarily about that. But yeah, just quick synopsis. 01:07:47.37 Max Shank To start out with you know, you're not gonna find a lot of fulfillment from buying yourself a bunch of toys and being fancy. It's way better to start hungry and stay hungry. Ah eat until you're 80% full, go ahead and defer gratification. You can work for money or you can put money to work for you and people put themselves in debt trying to keep up with the joneses and it's all status games. It's totally not worth It should ah start with a very spartan lifestyle if you're already kind of in. And extravagant mode. But you're not really comfortable with your finances like you know it's a mistake you got to be able to defer gratification for later and those are the people who earn the most is the ones who can. Be a little bit more patient so that's probably the first that's probably the first thing deferred gratification. Don't get into debt. 01:08:46.74 mikebledsoe Yeah, ah debt debt is mainstream. So ah, it's incentivized right now. Um I'm not gonna say all debt is bad I carry some debt which I would consider be good debt. 01:09:04.79 Max Shank Like a house. 01:09:05.75 mikebledsoe But um, like a house something that's low interest. It allows me to free up cash to put into things that are higher return, but my debt is optional if I wanted to clear out my debt right now I could do it. It's just not a financially intelligent move. Um, because where the money's at otherwise is is creating way more earnings than than what I would save on my debt payments on the on the interest. So yeah, kill the debt create Value. So always be. And what I mean by create value is be in touch with the things that other people value. So We we talked about writing as being one of the most valuable things I agree with that learn how to communicate Well ah one of my previous mentors. He wrote a book. Called last safe investment and categorized labor in the 4 categories one was physical labor technical labor creative labor and interpersonal labor and with each one of those the value goes up so labor is physical. Labor is the lowest value technical labor is the second lowest value. And then Creative labor is the next one up and the highest value labor is Interpersonal. So ah, you know writing being Creative. There's technical aspects to it of course but leadership sales things like that being interpersonal copywriting is something that bridges the creative and interpersonal. So. When you're thinking about which what type of labor you want to improve on unless you're going to be a professional athlete. Ah, you're going to probably see the biggest return on developing yourself as a leader or in your creative abilities and then last. Money for me is invest in emerging technology pay attention to what technologies are emerging that's going to be a good wave to catch. But as we talked about you know with emerging Technologies A lot of those will go to nothing. So. Choose wisely. 01:11:16.97 Max Shank I I like it you and I have different investing strategies and and it's good I would add to the labor set well enough at all at all what you compare to um. 01:11:24.96 mikebledsoe Yeah I think we both do we both do? well. So it's neither 1 or wrong. Yeah. 01:11:35.78 mikebledsoe Yeah I mean compare. 01:11:36.89 Max Shank You know, ah compared to compared to dwayne the rock johnson I'm fat and broke. So it's all it's all the way you compare to but I would add to the labor side of things find at least 1 thing that has an expent. 01:11:43.33 mikebledsoe Ah, yeah. 01:11:55.56 Max Shank An exponential return on your time ah write a book make a video co

In this week's episode, Ricardo returns to the concept of Antifragile, presented by Nicholas Taleb in his book, where Taleb stated that the antifragile "is not necessarily the opposite of fragile" but "what improves with shock." Ricardo talks about making the different types of systems antifragile, systems that can be you, your career, or your company. He complements the concept and outlines the five steps from fragile to antifragile. He starts by using the Barbell Bar concept, which talks about balancing weights and thus reducing fragility, and goes through the other four of the five steps proposed by Taleb: Decrease Fragility, Generate Options, Modularize, Risk Your Skin and Reflect and Learn From the Failure. Listen to this week's #5minpodcast to learn more.

No episódio desta semana, Ricardo volta ao conceito de Anti-frágil, apresentado por Nicholas Taleb em seu livro, onde Taleb colocada que o anti-frágil "não é necessariamente o oposto do frágil” e sim que “é aquele que melhora com o choque”. Ricardo discorre sobre como conseguir que os diversos tipos de sistemas sejam anti-frágeis, sistemas que podem ser você, a sua carreira ou a sua empresa. Ele complementa o conceito e descreve os cinco passos para levar o frágil para o anti-frágil. Começa com a utilização do conceito da Barra de Barbell que fala sobre equilibrar pesos e assim diminuir a fragilidade, e passa pelos outros quatro dos cinco passos propostos por Taleb: Diminuir a Fragilidade, Gerar Opções, Modularizar, Arriscar a Própria Pele e Refletir e Aprender com o Fracasso.

In this week's episode, Ricardo talks about the concept of Antifragile, presented by Nicholas Taleb in his book. To better explain it, Ricardo explains the meaning of being "fragile" and "robust," where "robust" is not necessarily the opposite of fragile. Robust refers to the ability to resist shock and is not necessarily improved by shock. What improves with shock is Antifragile. And what you gain from stress. The only way to thrive in such a volatile environment is to create an Antifragile mindset and attitude. Ricardo exemplifies several Antifragile systems such as our muscles, the dandelion flower, the Hydra of Hercules, and even the coronavirus. All these environments have something in common: They grow under stress, adapt, and learn. Next week Ricardo will complement the concept and talk about the five steps to take the fragile to the Antifragile using the Barbell Bar concept.

No episódio desta semana Ricardo fala sobre o conceito de Anti-frágil, apresentado por Nicholas Taleb em seu livro. Para explicar melhor o conceito, Ricardo explica o conceito de “frágil” e "robusto" e contextualiza que "robusto" não é necessariamente o oposto do frágil porque ser robusto é resistir ao choque e não necessariamente melhorar com o choque. O que melhora com o choque é Anti-frágil. E aquilo que ganha com o estresse. A única forma de se prosperar em um ambiente com tamanha volatilidade é conseguir criar um mentalidade e atitude Anti-frágil. Ricardo exemplifica vários sistemas que são Anti-frágeis como por exemplo os nossos músculos, a flor do dente-de-leão, a Hydra de Hércules e até mesmo o coronavírus. Todos esses ambientes têm algo em comum. Eles crescem com estresse, se adaptam e aprendem. Na semana que vem Ricardo irá complementar o conceito e falar sobre os cinco passos para levar o frágil para o Anti-frágil utilizando o concento da Barra de Barbell.

In this episode I talk about Antifragility, a powerful concept introduced by Nassim, Nicholas Taleb in his bestselling book, Antifragile: Things that gain from disorder. Think the oppositive of fragile is resilient? Nope! Fragile is negative and resilient is neutral. The oppositive of a negative is a positive, so the opposite of fragile is antifragile. Antifragility is increasing in capability and thriving because of stressors, shock, and volatility. As Nietzsche (and Kanye) have said…that that don't kill me…can only make me stronger…” Antifragility is more than resiliency or robustness. The resilient maintains under stress or pressure…the antifragile gets better. Antifragility, resilience, and grit are pragmatic as they relate to combating gender inequity so we can transcend and thrive. Despite the host of inequities, biases and barriers that create an unlevel playing field for talented, highly qualified women, it is possible that WE can have the last word in the end if we adopt an antifragility mindset. We can become stronger, better, more proficient, not despite, but  because of these inequities. And that is a mindset shift that can serve us. Do not miss this episode to hear more about how to harness your emotional intelligence superpowers from adaptability, to empathy, to excellent communication. We know that women must consistently be mindful of monitoring and adapting in response to biases. Although this is unfair and inequitable, there can be tremendous growth to our skillset if we have the right mindset. As Taleb states “the wind extinguishes a candle and energizes fire.” This episode is about harnessing the wind and being the fire that is energized. #antifragility #grit #resilience #robus #transcend #thrive Reference The 4Ps Advancement Model™ https://advancingwomenpodcast.com/4ps-advancement-model-problem-patterns-process-proficiency/ Website: www.advancingwomenpodcast.com Instagram @advancingwomenpodcast email drdesimone@advancingwomenpodcast.com Nassim Nicholas Taleb (2014) Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder.

In Episode 89: Nassim Nicholas Taleb: Part 2: We delve into his book "skin in the game", a phrase we've often heard but rarely stopped to truly dissect and what it means to understand the world, succeed in a profession, contribute to a fair and just society, detect nonsense, and influence others.

In episode 88 we explore Part 1 of our 2 part series on Nassim Nicholas Taleb. The scholar and former options trader who has devoted his life to problems of randomness, probability, and uncertainty. We dive into his book, Antifragile: Things that gain from disorder how to approach the world in the face of uncertainty and what lessons can we take from his work to ensure robustness, to set ourselves or your business up for potential positive and negative events.

Dr. Rich Patton, MD, grew up in the small town of Wahoo, Nebraska where the town doctor clearly had a better life than he did as a child farm hand. That inspired Rich to eventually go to medical school and to become a pathologist. From there he saw how many patients got treated unnecessarily for sepsis – blood infection – and he was pretty sure he knew why. So, he invented the SteriPath, a device that virtually eliminates false positive diagnoses in blood cultures. *This episode was originally released on April 26, 2019.* TRANSCRIPT: Intro: 0:01Inventors and their inventions. Welcome to Radio Cade a podcast from the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville, Florida. The museum is named after James Robert Cade, who invented Gatorade in 1965. My name is Richard Miles. We’ll introduce you to inventors and the things that motivate them, we’ll learn about their personal stories, how their inventions work, and how their ideas get from the laboratory to the marketplace. Randy Scott: 0:38Hello, for those of you expecting the velvet voice of Richard Miles, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but this is Randy Scott, your guest host today for Radio Cade. I’m here today with Dr. Rich Patton , MD out in Seattle. And he’s the inventor of the SteriPath blood collection device. Hi, Rich, are you doing today? Dr. Rich Patton: 0:59As pleased to say, life has been very good to me and continues to do so. Randy Scott: 1:06I appreciate you making some time here. So just to start things off, why don’t we take a minute or two for our listeners if you can explain the SteriPath, you know, pretty basic terms, what the SteriPath does and how it benefits patients. Dr. Rich Patton: 1:21The SteriPath, instrument essentially replaces and does away with false-positive blood cultures. How does it do this? The process is to use on needle, which goes into a vein and a vein then are a conduit for putting blood into a culture vial, and that’s the way it has been for 50 years. You know what goes into, in most cases, a vein which then directs blood into a bottle with medium, and that process passes a skin biopsy into the culture bottle and that is where our large portion of the contamination occurs. What SteriPath does is divert very first portion of blood from a vein and sequesters it, and that being done, the blood is directed past that sequester and into the bile of medium. So it’s a very simple process and simple to understand, and that’s, what’s the beauty of it is. It’s something that is very doable, should be done worldwide. A lot of expenses and patient success and the patient safety is, has moved greatly ahead was this type of blood culture procedure. Randy Scott: 2:45So Rich, that’s interesting. So you’re trying to avoid these false positives in blood cultures, maybe a little bit more background for me and the listeners on what are the medical uses for a blood culture? Why would a blood culture be taken in the first place? Dr. Rich Patton: 3:00Blood cultures are taken when people have high fevers or maybe become systemic and ill with not only a high fevers, but increased heart rate, and no symptoms are present than a blood culture is ordered and it takes about 24 to 48 hours to get result. And that result is something that hides the therapy, antibiotic treatment, part of this. So that’s the way it begins. And that’s taking it to the point where our culture, our shows and our organism that is a pathogen and it needs to be taken care of. Randy Scott: 3:37A false positive means that they’ve detected what they think is an infection and there’s not really an infection there, I guess. And so then they’re going to administer antibiotics when the antibiotics aren’t actually needed. Is that kind of how it goes? Dr. Rich Patton: 3:50Yes, that’s right prior to the use of the SteriPath, about half of the blood cultures that show positive are false positives and that results in unnecessary antibiotics and increase in blood tests increase in images. And all of this is not good for the patients who are put in the health care system. Unnecessary antibiotics are ended up being a different issue and America and the world. Randy Scott: 4:18And so how does a false positive come to happen and take place? I mean, why, why would that occur? It seems like it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out if, you know, worked in a hospital lab or something, but obviously it happens a lot. So how does that actually occur? Dr. Rich Patton: 4:33What we have discovered is that a false positive results from small scan piece being dislodged from the skin, the blood drawn is obtained. And if using the SteriPath, that scan piece is diverted into a sequester area. I’m just not going to enter the bloodstream. That is a very simple approach. And that’s a simple solution to the problem. And I have been told by a lot of people that, you know , why didn’t I think of that? It simply gets rid of the piece of tissue, which has defending a skin residing organisms. That’s once the sterile pads in place, the antibiotics therapy is started right after the blood culture has been drawn . And physicians can be positive about being treating aggressively on the case. Without this diversion technique, about half of the blood cultures that are, could grow some organisms, those are getting residing organisms that are normal and need, no , no treatment, but it takes a while beyond that to make a, to make a , a , uh , a blood culture result known takes off in 48 hours. Before the true nature of that infection is understood. Randy Scott: 6:05Okay. So I think I can kind of picture this in my mind. So normally they go, they take the blood sample, the needle goes in, and of course the needle is a circle of metal that kind of cat captures the, like the little tiny miniature pipe. And it captures a little chunk of skin before it gets to the blood and that skin then has the bacteria on it. So that makes sense. So the SteriPath then it sounds like is taking that little plug of skin and it’s setting it off to the side and only the blood then flows instead of the blood plus that little piece of skin is that right? Dr. Rich Patton: 6:40That’s right on. Randy Scott: 6:42Great. So yeah , you are practicing doctor and you came up with this idea about maybe let’s step back in time, a little bit curious, just how you came, be a doctor, you know , where did you grow up and what led you down the path of being a physician? Dr. Rich Patton: 6:58Oh , that’s , that’s a good one. I grew up in a small town in Eastern Nebraska about 3,500 people from the best farm plan in the world. And one person that got my pension , which was a physician there. His name was Dr. French. And I found him to be someone who was articulate, who was calm, who was well dressed and was very, very kind person. And I’d have to admit that appeared to be prosperous. So it was a combination of all those things that made me look at medicine as a good career for me. So I would say yes, he was the biggest influence on me. And I had a lot of experience with being a farm hand and a ranch hand. And I certainly didn’t want to do that for the rest of my life. So I ended up going to undergraduate school and eventually medical school. Randy Scott: 8:00Okay. So is this Dr. French? Was he like your family doctor? Dr. Rich Patton: 8:04Yes, he was, yeah . Randy Scott: 8:06Okay. Nebraska probably didn’t have very many doctors I’m guessing. Dr. Rich Patton: 8:10There were two doctors there that were physicians . I think you mentioned that one of the things that you thought I should let you know about is what other people influenced me in that town . And I have to tell you this, that person that I looked up who beyond this position was my mother. And she was born in a sod house in Nebraska. Became to first of a large family to go to college and she was just a super professional with grade school kids. With first grade. Um, she was somebody who I was pleased with students that did well, and she had great empathy for those that struggled . And my mother died and there was a funeral and an older man than me came up to me and said, gee, I was in shock when your mother died. I knew her as a beautiful woman. And indeed she was, and then recently, maybe a year ago, a woman about 45 years old introduces me , she was living in Omaha at that time. And she asked me, are you in relationship to mrs. Patton ? And I told her that I’m her son. And she told me of families , that she knew that my mother was teahcing and she told me that she was a beloved person in a small town. So I think of her often. And I’m trying to think about how she handled her life. Randy Scott: 9:29Oh yeah . So from a sod house to a prosperous doctor in one generation, that’s pretty good. That’s great. So you obviously went to medical school, but you’re now a pathologist, right? So I know what a pathologist is, but I’m not sure if our listeners will . So why don’t you describe for us what a pathologist is and why a pathologist would be the type of doctor that would invent a device like the SteriPath? Dr. Rich Patton: 9:54Well , first of all, pathologists are in general, considered a doctors , doctor. Doctors see patients and to treat them, they know they have to get tests done from blood tests to sometimes obtaining small pieces of tissue for analysis. For example, if someone has a lump in the breast, a needle might be put into that lump and then given to a pathologist to make a diagnosis of benign or malignant. And the pathologist handle all that type of work pending receiving, not just biopsies from breasts, but also many biopsies of the GI tract and so on. And then additionally, the clinical side of the pathology work is to make sure that laboratory work is accurate and up to date. So that is the relationship that it was always just have with clinical areas when they need this kind of help. Also, the relationship becomes one that now there are pathologists who are experts with liver disease, somewhat gastrointestinal disease, somewhat skin disease, skin , tumors, and so on. All those have been , become the system, whereas handling systems becoming more and more specialized. In other words, doctors, as I just mentioned, concentrate in these various areas. Again, liver, lung, brain, GI tract, on and on , there are specialists in pathologists that are confined their practices, those specialized areas. Randy Scott: 11:32So I guess if you’re used to dealing with needle biopsies than you’re used to the idea of pieces of tissue stuck in a needle. So I guess this idea made sense to you that way, too, that you were perhaps sensitized to think in that direction? Dr. Rich Patton: 11:45The fact that when needle biopsies go through skin or sampling tissue, for example, liver or thyroid. What happens with that needle is that when the skin is punctured , the needle actually cuts off a small portion of skin, which ends up in the specimen that is submitted for examination. So a common thing that would happen is just say that someone was doing needle procedure and the thyroid gland, what I might see or another pathologist is not only a piece of your thyroid, but also a small piece of skin that would have been dislodged by any needle, puncture and thyroid . Randy Scott: 12:26Okay. So anyway going back, I guess the way this kind of played out. So you kind of recognize this issue about the little piece of skin that gets caught in there. It causes these false positives and therefore the unnecessary use of antibiotics. So you’d identified the problem and the source of the problem, I guess I’d say. And then the actual product itself, how far along did you take that on your own? And at some point, obviously you’ve partnered up with someone to help commercialize the products, or how did that part of the story play out? Dr. Rich Patton: 12:58Well, what happened initially was not as I’m serving these fragments and checking to see if these pieces of tissue that , uh , contained in. And that was something that initiated in my laboratory and showing the test of getting rid of the skin piece , decreased our contamination rate by 50%, which was astonishing because over time, small increments, terminated tests improving, and nobody had come on anything at all in that range. So what I did initially after that was to encourage another pathologist in Seattle area to run the same test that I had done in his result was the same contamination rate decreased by 50%. So at that point, we knew that we had a new procedure that was going to affect blood culture globally. And at that point I started up a business with our CEO and other people, to build advice that would capture these skin pieces and not them get into the vessels that have culture medium in them. And that took a lot of engineering, a lot of testing. And that’s where we are now is we’ve shown that using that approach is revolutionary for the blood culture test and is something that we’re working on beyond the stage , but also kind of a lot of intellectual property to cover our device. Not only to use all around the world, Canada, Europe, Japan, on and on and on. Randy Scott: 14:37Great. So products actually being used in hospitals right now and basically saving lives today, right? Dr. Rich Patton: 14:44That’s right. And saving a lot of money for hospitals and the healthcare system. Hospitals save money by fewer tests. It’s very good for patients since cultures that are contaminated often result in unnecessary antibiotics and increased stays in the hospital and puts them at risk for developing hospital acquired infection . Randy Scott: 15:09Tell me some more about that. So I would, it’s just a layman. I would think that obviously, if I run a blood culture, I get a false negative. In other words, I, blood culture says there’s no infection, but there really is. So I don’t treat the patient. Obviously I understand how that’s bad for the patient. It seems to me like a , just a layman that a false positive wouldn’t be a big deal. So maybe somebody gets antibiotics and there’s probably some expense associated with the antibiotic, but how does inappropriate antibiotic use actually harm patients? Dr. Rich Patton: 15:42What happens is patients end up with unnecessary antibiotics, unnecessary blood and fluid tests, fewer imaging procedures, both positive can increase hospital stays, and there’s potential there for acquiring the hospital infections. Overall expenses go up just because of the involvement of medical staff and so on. It’s a big issue to let this go on. I feel like it’s not going hard as , as fast as it is growing because it’s sloppy medicine to let this blood culture contamination go on in our country and worldwide. Randy Scott: 16:20So basically the idea is that they’re getting the antibiotic treatment, they’re going to spend an extra couple of days in the hospital and other bad things might happen to them during that time. Great. So obviously you’re a physician. You come up with this idea for this new product. You’re not a marketer or whatever, but you’ve, I think remained involved with the company as it’s gone to market with the product some . So what’s been maybe the most surprising thing to you as a physician inventor . And what’s been the most surprising thing to you about the business and commercial side of things. Dr. Rich Patton: 16:54What has struck me is that this product that we have works very well and as a level of improvement compared to the previous way of doing things is quite encouraging and pleased to see that this has done regularly now, but I have been very disappointed that it’s not catching on sooner because of the reason, so we’ve already discussed. Everybody should have this done tests, not just locally or in United States, but it should be something done and this blood culture test worldwide. Randy Scott: 17:26So why wouldn’t every hospital just adopt it immediately? It seems like it’s much better for the patients. So is there some particular reason it’s not obvious that this is a harder decision for a hospital. Dr. Rich Patton: 17:40There are a number of reasons why this has gone not as quickly as we hoped. You have to understand that the blood culture procedure has not in 50 years and not change in a significant way for five decades. And when we start talking about this, a lot of people think, Oh, we don’t really have to deal with this in a hurry, but we’ll probably take care of it, someday. There reason for that is part of this reason I should say is that the test change involves multiple individuals and on healthcare chain all the way from the chief executive officer to the person who investigates the tests and in a way that how it’s going to cost them. And it turns out that any institution this has been successful has been one individual who’s taken the leadership, getting it done and getting this right and changing procedures all the way from the emergency department to the critical care area. All of those individuals that are involved need to be trained. And it’s just a big job to get that done. So those are some of the reasons why it’s been slower to be adopted than we had hoped for. Randy Scott: 18:56There’s a author you may be familiar with, Nicholas Taleb that written a couple of books, “Black Swan Antifragile.” He actually makes a point that we hear echoed through the voices of inventors like you all the time, but he makes the point that the things that have been unchanged the longest are in fact, the hardest things to change. So an example, he gives us that if you tried to innovate around the fork and spoon, it would probably be very difficult to get people to change because the fork and spoon have been the same for generations and generations. On the other hand, to get people to accept innovation around their smartphone is really easy because they expect it to change all the time. And they’re already kind of preprogrammed per change. That sounds like the dairy path, a little bit victim of that, but the way the blood cultures have been taken and process has been the same for so long. It’s maybe not an area where the clinicians and hospitals are that interested in even considering change. Dr. Rich Patton: 19:56Yeah, absolutely. You hit that right on the nail. I think what is waiting for this to suddenly become an improvement that will be overwhelming in terms of the obviousness very significant primarily on a patient’s safety level, more than anything else. We don’t know how many patients end up being killed by a false positive . I’m sure it’s probably in the hundreds and maybe even thousands annually in the U.S. and as I say, that part of that has never really been studied in a way, and it’s very difficult to do that, but even if it’s one person in the whole United States, everybody’s saving money. And if you have a straight path, a pathway on taking care of patients, you’re doing a good service, good patient safety that we all should, we all should be, acutely aware of it. Randy Scott: 20:45You didn’t set out in life, it doesn’t sound like to be an inventor, but you became one. Any thoughts for other folks, maybe like you, that don’t think of themselves as inventors, but they have a great idea to make the world better. Any parting ideas or words of wisdom for somebody like that? Dr. Rich Patton: 21:03I was thinking about this and what would I do to describe someone who let’s say that we’re talking about physicians. The best physicians that I know were, and are truly interested in their jobs. As I mentioned earlier, life has been good to me and part of which was being a pathologist and these days there are great options of medicine that are mind -bending, a number of specialties, researchers, educators, executives , just unlimited possibilities for people to work in medicine. And I would tell anybody who is interested in medicine, that you should find your niche in medicine, where you belong and you’ll do well. Randy Scott: 21:52Great. Okay.

T. K. Coleman is the Director of Entrepreneurial Education at the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) and the host of The Revolution of One podcast. As a member of the FEE faculty, he is a prolific writer and speaker and leads workshops on themes related to entrepreneurship, economics, and education. I met T.K. through our friends at The Minimalists podcast, where T.K. is a regular guest. On this podcast, T.K. and I are talking about race relations in America. This topic has made headlines recently, but the stress of being black in the US is nothing new for people who cope every day with a society that refuses to fully accept them. T.K. is one of the best speakers I’ve ever heard describe the struggles facing young people of colour in a system that is biased to favour some over others. He discusses the fundamental fears that keep us divided, the reasons COVID-19 disproportionately affects African Americans and some of the key factors that can help us overcome our differences.

In the US, most people would be surprised to find that WhatsApp is the main platform for Latin Americans to communicate between friends and family, and even more surprised that its one of the main channels for businesses and their clients to communicate. Migue Morkin, an Argentine entrepreneur and founder of Sirena, explains that in Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil 70% of the population actively uses WhatsApp on a daily basis. However, Migue noticed that businesses that used WhatsApp for sales, didn’t have a proper tool to do follow ups with their clients. Sirena seeks to solve that problem by helping businesses centralize, distribute, and answer their clients’ incoming messages from WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, chatbots, and websites through one app.  In this episode, I sit down with Migue to talk about his journey from working for a machine learning startup that was acquired by a global business, to starting a market place in Brazil, and the decision to pivot that led to successfully building Sirena to what it is today. We also cover how Migue thinks about raising money, advice on being a Spanish-speaking entrepreneur in Brazil, and how Latin Americans can start their own global businesses within the region.  Choosing an AI startup over a large enterprise As a child Migue would show his parents drawings of inventions he wanted to make– early inklings of an entrepreneurial mindset. After university, that innate curiosity for innovation led him to work at a startup instead of choosing the more traditional route at a large enterprise. For two years, Migue worked for the small consultancy agency that used machine learning to forecast for larger companies like Unilever. His early experience in a startup gave him insight on what it’s like to start a business.  Listen to this episode of Crossing Borders to find out what Migue learned from working at a startup that eventually got acquired by Accenture. Rodati: the marketplace that led to Sirena Sirena was born from a project within a project. Migue’s first endeavor as an entrepreneur was Rodati, an auto marketplace in Brazil that unfortunately had to be closed. Rodati was successful in creating traffic for car dealerships, but the problem lay in the delayed responses between businesses and clients that resulted in lost opportunities. Migue solved this problem by developing a tool to improve communication with customers. This tool became Sirena. Learn more about Migue’s decision to pivot Rodati and pursue what would become Sirena on this episode of Crossing Borders. The language of SaaS Migue recalls one of his favorite pieces of advice from Nicholas Taleb: the best way to learn a language is by going to prison in that country. Migue took an alternate route to incarceration, and immersed himself in the Portugese language by moving to Brazil when he wanted to tackle Latin America’s largest market. When he started Sirena, he knew from early on that restricting himself to Argentina’s castellano would be limiting to a SaaS startup. Creating a product that would adapt to different cultures with ease was key to Sirena’s expansion throughout the region. Find out why Migue stresses on the importance of learning about different cultures when engaging with a foreign market in this episode. Migue Morkin is helping accelerate the response rate in industries where the first to answer a lead is often the one that seals the deal. He recognized a communicational problem in Latin American businesses that was costing them customers, and found a solution that allows for a smoother conversation from multiple channels across the region.  Show Notes [1:19] -  About Sirena [4:17] - The pervasiveness of WhatsApp in LatAm [6:36] - Choosing the entrepreneurial path [8:31] - Foreign companies with LatAm tech teams [10:14] - From a consulting to a SaaS business model [12:38] - An Argentine launching a business in Brazil [14:29] - Tips for succeeding in Brazil as Spanish-speaking entrepreneur [16:25] - Deciding to pivot and letting shareholders know [18:50] - First steps after pivoting [19:56] - Operating in three countries [22:04] - Pivoting with success [22:39] - Process of raising money from Mexican and Argentine funds [24:31] - About weird term sheets [25:57] - Advice to other LatAm founder on fundraising [27:12] - Advice to Migue’s younger self [28:36] - Books, blogs, and podcasts Migue recommends for SaaS entrepreneurs [30:04] - What’s next for Migue and Sirena?

Sometimes we all ask ourselves this very question: is common sense all that common? In this fourth season of the Catching The Next Wave podcast we hope to investigate what common sense really means and whether it is something that should be generally popular. ...or perhaps not really...Important linksNassim Nicholas Taleb “Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder”

A incerteza é algo muito indesejado na contemporaneidade. Embora não seja querida por muitos, para aqueles Talebianos - seguidores do pensador Nicholas Taleb - isso faz todo o sentido pois ele proclama a criação de coisas resistentes ao imponderável, ou melhor, que consiga se beneficiar com esses momentos: o antifragil. Nesse sentido, Luiz Roxo, um dos poucos caras endossados por Taleb para disseminar seus ideiais aqui no Brasil, faz um trabalho de base, mostrando ao seu público, formas de se beneficiar com o caos, como estar protegido contra os eventos inesperados e de grande proporções (Cisnes Negros) ou até mesmo um conceito simples mas efetivo: o de ter a pele em risco. Essas e muitas outras coisas vc verá nesse podcast.......

Alex Fergus, Health Coach, Blogger & Health Enthusiast https://www.alexfergus.com Oura Ring - use code quantumyoga at checkout for 10% discount https://ouraring.com Alex's Story: I have a passion for improving health and fitness. I grew up in New Zealand participated in a lot of sports.  I represented my country in Rowing, won national bodybuilding titles and broke powerlifting records. I always wanted to be healthier, faster and fitter.  This thirst to improve lead me into the world of health coaching. Others came to me to learn what I was doing.  I continue to read, study, experiment, listen and learn.  I have suffered my own health woes - from being a horrible sleeper, embarrassingly low levels of testosterone and gut issues. Through these setbacks I have learnt even more about the body - not only how to heal from these issues, but how to avoid them altogether.  This is why my clients continue to have such amazing results. The more people I work with, the more I learn, the more I do, the better I become. Just as Nicholas Taleb explains in the book Antifragile. Today I continue to learn ways to optimise my own and my clients health and fitness, but also the people around me, family, friends and society as a whole.  I continue to research write and share, while I grow an organic vege garden, live by the beach, fish, farm, train and walk around barefoot in New Zealand.

"¿Quieres ver reir a Dios? Cuéntale tus planes". Este viejo proverbio ejemplifica la teoría del cisne negro: como lo improbable e inesperado transforma tu visión del mundo... después de echar a perder tus planes y tus proyectos. ¿Y desde dónde brinca esta avecilla? Pues de cualquier lugar, pero como explica Dany Saadia, ese no es el problema: si no hacemos caso a las ideas frescas y nos quedamos dentro de la caja, lo más seguro es que nunca llegue ese cisne y, por lo tanto, que nuestro mundo siga inalterable (y aburrido) o que no estemos listos para aprovechar ese cambio de paradigma. Y sí: también ocurre en el cine. Dany recomienda leer El cisne negro, de Nicholas Taleb.

Hur kommer det sig att vi i vårt sofistikerade och teknologiskt avancerade samhälle, gång efter gång drabbas av katastrofer som vi efteråt tycker att vi borde ha förutsett? Nicholas Taleb, professor i riskanalys vid New York University, har svaret på den frågan. Han kallar händelser som flygplans-attacken på World Trade Center, utbrottet av första världskriget och Tsunamin år 2004 för - svarta svanar. Enligt hans teori så kommer vi aldrig kunna förutse sådana händelser, hur bra matematiska modeller vi än gör. Hör mer om The Black Swan Theory i dagens program.
