In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I break down a simple truth I live by every day. Attitude is the foundation. Enthusiasm is the expression. When I move with purpose even on the mornings I feel stiff, tired, and anything but motivated, my actions create the energy I need. People read my face, my voice, my posture, and they respond to what I carry. If I choose purpose, others feel it and follow it. Introduction I did not wake up inspired. My back hurt. My shoulder was tight. I shuffled to the bathroom like a slow old man. Then I walked into the gym and a guy told me I always move with purpose. That compliment reminded me of the standard I set for myself. I do not wait for motivation. I act first. The energy shows up after. Body Awareness creates advantage I know eyes are on me. Clients, team, family, even strangers at the gym read my body language. They decide how far to push, whether to trust, and if they want to work with me based on what I show. When I smile, stand tall, and speak with conviction, I transmit certainty. Certainty moves deals forward. Action before motivation I never count on feeling ready. I get moving and let the movement warm up my mind. Action builds motivation. Motivation builds inspiration. Then I stack more action. That cycle is how I keep momentum, even when my body hurts or my schedule is heavy. Enthusiasm is a skill Enthusiasm is not fake. It is a decision to express what I believe. Shoulders back. Eye contact. Strong handshake. Clear tonality. Words that lead. I do this with my family so they can believe in me. I do it with clients so they can make confident decisions. If I carry worry, they mirror worry. If I carry certainty, they mirror certainty. Lead the room with your presence At the gym I skip every other stair. At the coffee shop Carla and I visit, we are met with smiles and service because we bring the same energy. People respond to the way you enter a space. Move like you have somewhere to be and something to build. Smile first. It opens doors. Say you are the best and then deliver Big claims force big delivery. When I say I market the best, negotiate the best, and deliver the best, I give my subconscious direct orders. Then I back it up with preparation, presence, and follow through. Clients already believe you are the best when they call you. Do not talk them out of it by being timid, worried, or slow. Protect client experience with your tone Problems happen. Appraisals come in low. Inspections get messy. Your job is not to transfer panic. Your job is to take on the worry and lead with solutions. Calm tone. Clear path. People want to feel they made the right decision when they chose you. Practical cues to switch on enthusiasm Smile before you call. Stand up when you negotiate. Use your hands when you explain. Nod to confirm understanding. Keep your voice steady. Dress with intention. If you feel yourself fading, lean your shoulders forward and let your body pull your mind into motion. Forward momentum beats hesitation. Conclusion Attitude sets your standard. Enthusiasm shows the world your standard. Stop waiting to feel ready. Take the action that moves you. Smile with purpose. Speak with conviction. Walk like you mean it. When you do, people feel safe making decisions around you. That is leadership. That is how you produce. Reader Questions Where in your day do you usually wait for motivation, and what action can you take first to spark it instead Think about your last client meeting. What did your face, tone, and posture communicate before you said a word What bold claim about your service are you willing to make today, and what specific action will you take to back it up Notable Quotes Attitude is the foundation and enthusiasm is the expression. Do not wait for motivation. Take the action and let the action create the energy. Clients already believe you are the best or they would not have called. Do not talk them out of it. Follow A.Z.

Keep this cheat sheet handy as a reminder to choose connection over disconnection. • ■ **The 5-Minute Rule:** Give loved ones 5 minutes of undivided attention when they enter the room—phones down, eyes up. • ■ **Eye Contact + Name:** Look people in the eye and use their name—it signals presence and respect. • ■ **Ask Better Questions:** Swap 'How was your day?' for 'What made you smile today?' or 'What was the highlight?' • ■ **Listen Without Fixing:** Sometimes people don't need advice—they just need to feel heard. Nod, reflect, and hold space. • ■ **Be Where Your Feet Are:** Whether at dinner, a game, or a meeting—be fully present in that moment.

With 2018's Vampyr, Don't Nod took a swing a narrative, decisions-matter action RPG, and while I liked Vampyr a lot, the decisions-matter part of it left a lot to be desired. Five years later, they took another swing at that type of game with Banishers, and really righted that specific area. Decisions matter in Banishers in a way they don't matter in most games, and it led to one of the most effective stories I've played in a while.

„Freude lässt sich nicht anordnen, aber sie entsteht, wenn Menschen Verantwortung spüren und tun dürfen, was sie gut können.“ In dieser Folge #WhatsNextAgencies spricht Kim Alexandra Notz mit Julia Gassner, Managing Director Client Services und Jens Theil, Founder & Chief Creative Lunatic von Wynken Blynken & Nod. Einer Agentur, in der Freude nicht beiläufig entsteht, sondern bewusst ermöglicht wird. Denn Freude ist hier kein Nebeneffekt. Sie ist das, was bleibt, wenn Arbeit sinnhaft ist. Wenn man Verantwortung übernehmen darf. Wenn Vertrauen nicht eingefordert, sondern gelebt wird. Wenn Junior*innen vor Kunden stehen und die Geschäftsführung sich von ihnen feedbacken lässt. Wenn ein Pitch mehr durch gute Fragen gewinnt als durch perfekte Folien. Julia und Jens erzählen von einem Agenturalltag, der auf Offenheit statt Absicherung setzt. Von mutigen Entscheidungen, auch gegen Wachstum. Von Ehrlichkeit in der Führung, Klarheit in der Kundenauswahl und dem festen Glauben, dass kreative Exzellenz nur dort entsteht, wo Menschen sich selbst einbringen dürfen. Wynken Blynken & Nod zeigt, was es heißt, nicht nur Arbeit zu organisieren, sondern Bedeutung zu ermöglichen. Freude wird hier nicht gemacht. Sie wird möglich gemacht. Eine Folge über echte Kultur, stille Kraft und die Entscheidung, sich selbst treu zu bleiben, auch wenn es unbequem wird.

I know I'm a world-class researcher. I know I'm doing careful, meaningful work—stuff that will matter in 30 years. I also know that I'm building something with the R3ciprocity Project that helps people finally feel like they belong in this world of research. It's not just a tool. It's a quiet movement—a belief that you're already good enough, even if the system never says it out loud.But most people don't see any of that. They don't get it. They think I'm weird. Or crazy. Or wasting my time.And honestly? That used to hurt.I spent years trying to get a job after my PhD. Two years of silence. Rejection. Most schools didn't even look. But the strange part? A few top schools—MIT, Wharton—they did look. That contrast told me something: the majority often don't understand what matters until much later. The people who get it? They're few. But they matter more than anything.So I've had to build this quiet confidence inside. A kind of daily faith. I wake up, and I say: “Giddy up. One more day. Keep going.” That's it. Not flashy. Not loud. But consistent. Honest. Determined.People often can't tell the difference between a giant loser and someone who's going to change the world. So they default to doubt. And they laugh. Or ignore. Or stay silent because of their own fears.But that's not my problem.What I've learned is that changing anything that matters means carrying the weight of misunderstanding. It means looking foolish—for a long time. And still walking forward anyway.I keep going. I keep building. I keep telling others they're good enough. Not because it's easy. But because it matters.If you're doing anything that's truly different—if you're trying to change the world—here are three truths I've had to live by: 1. Giddy up. One more day.You don't have to feel strong. You just have to take the next step. 2. Ignore the world. Trust the work.Most people won't get it. That's their fear talking, not your failure. 3. Smile. Nod. Keep walking.The future is built by people who keep showing up—long before they're understood.Take care. Keep building. And I'll see you in ten years.

Send us a textDrawing from her extensive experience as a special education teacher, Dr. Thomas explains that effective behavior support isn't about punishment—it's about setting clear, understandable expectations that children can meet. “I've got to be able to see it and count it,” she emphasizes, pointing out that vague instructions like “be respectful” don't provide children with the specific guidance they need to succeed.Instead, she offers practical tools like the SLANT method for active listening—Sit tall, Lean forward, Acknowledge the speaker, Nod, Track the speaker—to demonstrate how breaking behaviors into observable, measurable actions creates a strong foundation for lifelong success.Want to transform how you support your child's behavior at home and in school?Tune in now for powerful insights that can shift your parenting approach and help your child build essential life skills.

It's episode 40(!!) of Indieventure, and this episode, we're checking in with what we've all been playing recently and turns out it's a fantastic bundle of indies! Who would have guessed! Our May 2025 list includes the bonkers immersive sim Skin Deep, the cutesy mystery adventure The Beekeeper's Picnic: A Sherlockian Adventure, the introspective, interactive essay Many Nights a Whisper, Rusty Lake's secret-stuffed The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show, nostalgic slice-of-life Despelote, and yes-we-know-it's-not-strictly-indie-but-it's-double-A-so-we're-yapping-about-it Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. We then launch into our opinions on the second (and final) chapter of Lost Records: Bloom and Rage. A lot of mixed feelings here, but the overall consensus is that we love Bloom and Rage, but Don't Nod needs to chuck their stealth sections in the bin. Thanks in advance Don't Nod, love you though oxoxo. If you'd like to avoid (minor) spoilers, we talk about the game between 1:05:00 - 1:39:00. We round off the episode with some hyperfixations! Rachel's pick is the Thinky Direct, a very cool showcase celebrating thinky games which you should definitely watch, PUH-LEASE (6pm BST, 29th May, and if you missed it, it'll be on YouTube). Liam has been falling back in love with the Switch before the release of the Switch 2. And finally, Rebecca talks about about Game Performance Matters, an initiative formed by a group of voice actors who are pushing back against studios using AI in the VA space - a disgusting practice which is becoming scarily more common in the video games industry. She's been chatting voice actor Kit Harrison, who has provided important resources for those who would like to support Game Performance Matters and the ongoing voice actors' strike in the games industry. We'll link them all below. Our music was written and performed by Ollie Newbury! Find him on Instagram at @newbsmusic.
