F#ck The Noise How can we be free from all the noise that distracts us from being who we really are and can be? This is in effect Wakey Wakey #3 in an attempt to wake up from a dream, being sleep. Like my friend Tim Freeke's book Lucid Living questions are we dreamers dreaming this life or can we awake from it? For me, it's all the noise that deafens our senses and tries to manipulate our thoughts and behaviors. Is it just me, I plan my week, my days or should I say daze and when I look back over the day I find I missed and sometimes didn't even think of those things I intended to do. Please say it's not just you Cloughie. And what do I do when I notice this? I give myself a really good dressing down - How's that working for me? The thing is every year, maybe every month or week, there's new noise to take your attention away from creating a great life. So how do we combat this intrusion and manipulation? Well, I'll tell you by following in part Jocko Willink, David Goggins, and Joe Rogan to name but three ( I know there are so many more that guide me). So buckle up and come with me down rabbit hole #3 :O) and press play - it is a podcast after all.

This is, I guess, wakey wakey number three. Hashtag three, wakey three. And there may be some swearing in. This, and if I do, then I. Apologize in advance, because it's only going. To be the one word. But we'll see. They were in my notes because I. Got a little bit going with this. And the reason is, number three, are you asleep? When you talk about Cluffy, am I asleep? Well, think about it. Maybe you're just hibernating a bit, and, sometimes. I'm talking about me, really. These are questions to me that if you imagine you're me, I'm asking you for me. Are you asleep? Cloughy? Are you hibernating, are you in a daze? Because I bet you're like me. I bet you are like me. You have so many things you want to do. You're here, you're following personal development unplugged. But you want to make the best. Version of yourself, don't you? So you have things that you want to do. You want to do them every day. You set them out in your week. And like you, I plan them out. I sit down on a Sunday, generally Sunday. I've got a little bit of football. On Sunday afternoon football. And I get my little book out and I start to go through what I plan to do in the week. And then I put it into days. Things I have to do, things I want to do. And do you know what? It's so bloody annoying. Some things I do, some things I do. But there's sometimes the ones certainly, that have an appointment time on it. I always keep those. But some of those other things, I just find I miss them sometimes. It's not until the end of the week. And that Sunday, when I review the. Weeks that's gone, I actually see that I didn't even think about them. Didn't even think about them. Have you done that? And it upsets me. It nearly swore then, but it really does me off. And I think to myself, Cloughy, you've got this schedule that you do. You're supposed to be good at this. You've got a lot of skills. I've learned a lot of skills. I should be better. And we do. Should all over know. We go to the fridge and we know what we should eat, but we sometimes take that other thing out, that, little bit of chocolate. That little bit. Yeah, but I know we should do a lot of things, but I should be better, just be better at, finding these things. And when I miss them or I find I haven't done improve what I really wanted to improve, I really berate myself. Imagine in the mornings, I'm sitting there with this lovely journal to ask myself questions. Questions that will enhance my life. And what do I do? I'm sitting there. Imagine they're sitting there. I've got my lovely cup of coffee. This is the third time I've recorded on lucid living Maybe even put a little jostic up. In the corner of the room just to give that smell nice anchor to be. This is my comfortable place. And then I berate myself in that journal. I give myself such a ticking off. Imagine that voice is coming through my. Head, into my arm, into that pen. And I'm really going, why the buddy? How do you forget that? Is it a block? Is it this? Is it that? And, because I'm in that state. I'm not finding answers because I'm not. In a state to find answers. I'm in a state just to give. Myself a good old fashioned rollickin and that's when I start to think, or I did start to think when I. This little bit, maybe I'm. We. You are, still living in a dream, waiting and wanting to wake up out of this dream. Because if it wasn't a dream, and. I know we can do all sorts. Of things in dreams, but if it wasn't a dream and I had a dream, I'd be doing this stuff. So maybe we are just wanting and waiting to wake up. Tim freak, lovely surname. F-R-E-E-K-E. Tim freak wrote a book and it literally only takes half hour to read. It's called lucid living. And I listened to that. He's also got it on, well, I've got it on CD. Can you believe that CD? And I listen to. And it's in his voice on the. CD and it's awesome. Lucid living. And it's all about waking up. And I've talked about this before because this is the third time. Third time I've recorded on this topic. And you'd have thought by now, hopefully it's third time lucky. But you thought now, by now, I'd have woken up a little bit. A little bit. But maybe I have. Maybe I'm being a little bit hard on you. No, me. You. Me. Because we have changed. We have done. When I look back and review, yeah, things have changed. Some things have been a lot better, but I still think they could have been that much better if I'd woken up out of this dream. And it's not the daydreaming we've talked about daydreaming and deliberately daydreaming. This is just, Is it a metaphor? A metaphor that we're in a dream. And when we wake up at the dream, it'll just be because, you know. When you're in a dream and you're sleeping and you wake up, sometimes you. Think about that dream, and sometimes it's. Just like it's a new day. It's a brand new day and that dream disappears. So three times, third time. Third time lucky recording this stuff, because every year is what I was thinking about. Every bloody year there's new stuff to distract you. I've called it, noise. New noise to distract you from being awake and, my being awake is doing the stuff that I know will make a difference to me. And if it's making a difference to. Me, it'll make difference to other people. And it'll make difference to little old. Planet earth in a small way, but. If it makes a positive difference, and. Even in a small way, that'll be good. But it's bloody noise. Joe Rogan: When you become free of the noise, you become empowered And one of our meta notes is when you become free of the noise, you become empowered. But what type of noise are we getting now? Still having wars. Bloody wars. In this day and age, we're still having wars. How bloody stupid is that? We got all this, I'm going to call it crap, men versus women and all that stuff around. And this is not political at all, but this just looking at the distractions we're getting. Why, can't we just. Embrace men and bloody women, just. And let diversity, all these things coming along and bombarding us through this social media, the news, everywhere you bloody turn, there's things like this going on. There's politics everywhere. 1 minute it's the thing that's so loud in your ears, and then you don't hear a bloody thing about it, because there's something else even louder. And there's always some new noise. Other people, other things that are vying and trying to take your attention because. They are trying to take your. Not just getting you to be aware of things, but they are taking your attention to control, to control what you listen to. And there's only one. Well, maybe more than one, but you should certainly listen to yourself first. Control what you listen to. Be observant of what you're listening to. And, not just diving in and without the data. Maybe. Maybe. So each year I wrote this down, each year, cloughy, I seem to remember I'm, having to try to wake myself up again and again and again. Do you find that? Just thinking about what I'm talking about. Now, does that noise get on your bloody nerves? And we get lost in it sometimes, don't we? You hear or read something, you see. It on a little video on social. Media, and the next moment down that bloody rabbit hole. And if you stopped, even when you do stop, stop, and it's normally too long, but when you do stop, do you ever sit back and go, do you know what? I've learned something from that that has enhanced my life, that's going to make my life better? Not when it's random like that. Yes, sometimes that teacher comes along on the video, but that's when you got. To be looking for stuff, sending out that, vibration of I want to learn something, I want to get better at something. And then you'll find that stuff. It seems to come along with synchronicity. But not all that noise distracting you. And, what's it distracting you from? Being the best version of yourself. That's what I believe. And you see, to me, there's so. Much noise that we need to control. And the only person who can control that is you. It's us. We've got to take ownership, haven't we, really? Because here's a couple of things people I've talked about before just reminded me. When I was thinking about this. Jocko Willick, extreme ownership. And one of the words he says. When he gets a problem to deal with, he goes, good, good, let's deal with it. That's taking extreme ownership, and it is extreme. But with all this noise, maybe we do have to be extreme now. We have to look to these people. And not think that they're going so. Extreme just to pull us along a little way. We've got to maybe look at this David goggins. I get to do this. Thriving on getting to do the things that he knows. May be tough, maybe hard, but they're the right things to do. And the right things to do are. Generally just a little bit. They're taking us out of our comfort zone. I don't like that term. To me, it's more familiar because even. In that supposedly comfort zone, we're not that comfortable. We're maybe uncomfortable with that bloody noise. But I get to do this. I get to do this for me. Joe Rogan talks about just being responsible for you. They're the first three that came to. My mind, but they're the three people. I do tend to follow. And if you follow people like that. I think you get the bandwidth, you get the direction it all comes down to. No bloody excuses, no reasons. Oh, I can't do this because, of. No, that's a bloody excuse. Because you say, good, I get to do this. I'm responsible. And the only thing what gets me is I get this every year, third time, third year on the run, thinking like this. But if nothing else, I'm pleased. I am pleased with this. I did berate myself for thinking, bloody hell, cloughy. Another one. The same thing. And it's not the same thing because. Each year it's different, and each time the message will be slightly different. But if we do just sit back once a year and, review, I have to learn this. I guess and remind myself, re remind myself I have to be present. Bring myself into the present. And, know that we both own this moment, this moment right now in our lives, your life, my life. What could you use as a wake up call every morning And I thought of a little mantra, and this is where the swear word comes in. Because it just came to me. I just thought, fuck the noise, because it made me jump a little bit. Because this is my life, my day. My day in this life of mine might stop tomorrow. I hope not. I want it to go on for not ever. Because I'll lose everyone I love. If I. If I keep alive forever. Maybe I could find more people to love as well. That's another thought. But just this is my life. And this is however long my life is. Every day is my life and my day in that life. So I began to think every morning, what could I use as a wake up call? Because this is a wake up call to me because that's what people used to call these things, isn't it? You have something that shocks you a. Little bit, and they call it a wake up call. So wakey wakey. So what would it be like? imagine this. What would it be like being that. Ultimate vision of yourself? That ultimate vision of yourself would take. No bloody notice of the noise, would it? Because it'd be concentrating, focusing on making your life better. And, probably making other people's lives better, too, in that making of your life better. That's a lovely thing. And you don't have to do it. Too long, do you? You wouldn't have to do that for many seconds. If you just remind yourself of that. Picture of you, that ultimate vision of. You, the one you're striving to be, the one that you could be right now, by the way, and then get better. Because if it's in your mind, it means you've got those skills. Maybe we just need to hone them, practice them. So what would happen if you saw yourself every morning reminding yourself with that. Tiny snapshot of a visualization of that. Ultimate vision of you and feel it, how good would that be? What would the effect on your day be? I know it would be on my day. And, think of this for the moment because we have to be present. Just imagine this. You don't really need your eyes closed, but you don't want to be doing something. By the way, if you're driving, you can listen to it, but don't think about this. Just let it go past. But if you got a moment, just think, this very moment is now. And this now keeps move. Well, it doesn't move. It stays here. Things are just happening. But in this very moment in time, what can you hear? Just notice what you can hear. Listen. Listen to the noise. Maybe I've just heard my stomach when. I was thinking that my stomach just. Get a little growl. I can hear things happening outside because it's raining and I can hear the raindrops hitting the roof of this little studio. What else can you hear? They're mine. And the more you listen, okay, you can hear the things which are right evident or right by you. But as you listen even more, you may hear things just slightly more in the distance. All these things happening right now. What can you see? Just look around. Good to be observant, but just look around. All the things that you weren't taking notice of, they were always there. But now you can, you can notice these things. Open up your peripheral vision. Notice a beauty. Look for beauty in everything you see. Maybe there's a logo there. Who did that? Who had that idea? Maybe the things you're wearing, the people around you, the things around, just notice everything that you're looking at and can see you right now. Maybe what you can feel, if you're standing, you're sitting, actually feel in your body, the structure you're standing on. You're sitting in, you're laying in. Maybe you can feel things with your. Hands, your fingers, even. Sometimes if you can hear that, I says me tapping my little desk just to tell me I'm here right now. And, as you just think of being here right now, fuck the noise. This is me. This is my new meme, by the way. I'm gonna try not to say it out loud too much when I wake up in the morning, but inside, want to wake up. I want to wake up every day and hear the world as it is right now. See the world as it is right now. Feel the world in the smell and taste right now. Be in the beauty right now. Because when I'm doing that, I can discern from that crappy noise. As we said, things like news. Yeah, we got to know about some things, but hear the right news, hear the balanced views. If you're going to get interested in. Taking ownership of the day right now in the present, knowing what to do Things, look at the data. Don't just take people's words for it. Maybe because there's an agenda there, maybe, but create your own noise, your own you in the day with that visualization of the ultimate vision of you. This is where I am. This is where I'm going. What am I going to create today? What am I going to create today. When am I going to take extreme ownership? Good. This is mine. When am I going to say, I get to do this, David, go. I get to do this. I'm just responsible. No more excuses, no more reasons. If I've set out something to do, I'm going to do it. And if something even better comes along. I'll decide whether I do that instead of the thing I'm doing. I will decide. I will become responsible for my decisions, my choices. Because this is my day, my bloody day. And every moment is my moment. And no other bugger is going to take it away from me. I will choose to share it with you as I'm doing now, because I want to share these things with you. Really helps me, by the way, because. This is going inside me. I talk about the way to learn something or understand how well you know something is to share it verbally with other people. Can you communicate it? And I don't know how good a job I do as communicating this, but I'm getting to get it in my own head. So if this resonates with you just a bit, find a way to trigger it. Taking ownership of the day right now in the present, knowing and choosing what to do. Remind yourself. Find a way to trigger and remind yourself. It could be as silly as some sticky pads left on the side of a door frame that's at eye level. So as you walk through that, We won't write fuck the noise on. That, because that's a bit rude, but maybe just. This is my time. I get to do this. Good. This is my time. Maybe you just stick a little sticky note on a few door frames at your eye level. Yeah, it sounds silly, but you'll get it. Maybe on your computer screen, maybe on. Your phone, maybe just stuck on your alarm as you wake up. This isn't a clock. This is your time. And the more outrageous, the better. There's a couple for me and I wonder what they are for you. How outrageous could you be to remind yourself, this is your time, your day, your moment, no one else's. You're responsible for it. So everything you do, if there's something that doesn't quite work out, you're responsible. For that and you'll learn from it. So if this has resonated with you and you think, yeah, Paul, they're great. Things to do, I'll just do those. Absolutely superb. I'd love to hear how that wakes you up. But if you've got something even more. Outrageous that something just suddenly springs to mind, let me know. So let me know both of those. You can email me feedback at personal developmentunplugged.com. I'd love to know what yours. Are because they're going to inspire me and I want to share them with other people, share them with myself. So we all get to live every moment. And that's the target. That's the goal. And if we can get to 80% of that, we will be outshining every other bugger on the planet. Well, not every other bugger, because they might be doing the same, but not. But we will be so ahead of 80% of the rest of the world. And then we can show them they're not bragging. Then we can show them by example, how good life can be, how not to get distracted. Wouldn't that be good? And again, as I've shown this with. You, trying to, get it deeper into my mind, clearer in my mind, it would be great if you could. Think about this and maybe share it with somebody else. Just use it as a discussion about. How noise distracts you and how you can bring yourself back into the moment. Sharing this podcast would be awesome, too. Because it might, just might not resonate with everybody. And that's cool. But if it resonates with one person. Just one person, we've both done our job. We've both done something that makes a difference. And that one person may just make a difference, and we'll never know how far the ripples have changed. Go, will we? But we know, they're going in such a way, like the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect. We're just flapping our little wings this side of the world, knowing that as the momentum builds, it's going to make a difference. So please do share this episode. Stick a thing on that. Tap that subscribe button, follow button. That would be great, too, but this would be great. And I got a feeling this is coming up to, if you listen to And I got a feeling this is coming up to, if you listen to. This as it comes out, it's probably. Coming up to new year. So if it is, happy new year. And if it isn't, I'll buggered it up. But this is something we could just muse about. So when we do actually put these things into our, schedule for the. Week, the day we know that we're going to do it, we're going to make a difference. Paul Clough says it's time to fly on your own So let's go and make a difference, my friends, by having more fun than we can stand in this very moment. The present. Give yourself a present of the presence, things like that. Because it's now time to fly. I'll see you next time, my friend. Let's have fun together. Bye bye, now. >> Speaker A: Warning. You are now leaving the unplugged mind of Paul Clough. It's time to fly on your own. Be brave, my friend. >> Speaker E: Personal development unplugged.

What I want to really tell you now is that you should turn off the news, stay in your lane, keep investing - AND make sure that you have the right people around you who are knowledgeable and experienced. The market is not operating as it should (I'll tell you why) BUT that doesn't mean that long-term tenants are not looking for space. Yes, commercial property prices are falling, but let me explain to you why that is and how you can benefit from the current economic climate. Listen to my podcast... And… after you listen and feel ready to learn how to get started with commercial property investment in 2023, go ahead and book a call with my Team. Let's get that conversation started about how you can ace your property investment goals this year. Book a call with Team NCRE here.

Irritability, sleeplessness, muscle tension and fatigue are all potentially caused by too much noise. Was Schopenhauer right when he called noise the "most impertinent of interruptions"? This week, we discuss the issue of noise pollution... ...as quietly as we can. The European Environment Agency estimates there are 10,000 premature deaths from noise exposure each year. So why are our cities noisier than ever and what can we do about it? We debate whether susceptibility to noise correlates with age, explore the idea of information overload and ask why we get drawn into the promise of stimulation even when it may be causing us harm. Finally, we share strategies for counteracting and coping with the noisy world around us. A few things we mentioned in this podcast: - Cities are reportedly noisier than ever https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/apr/25/cities-are-louder-than-ever-and-its-the-poor-who-suffer-most - European Environment Agency report: Noise in Europe 2014 https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/noise-in-europe-2014 - Associations between screen time and lower psychological well-being among children and adolescents https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6214874/ - Shift Blog: How to avoid notification overload https://tryshift.com/blog/tips-tricks/how-to-avoid-notification-overload/ - Noise: How to overcome the high, hidden cost of inconsistent decision making https://hbr.org/2016/10/noise - Paris bids to turn volume down in ‘City of Noise' https://www.thelocal.fr/20150311/officials-to-turn-down-the-volume-on-paris/ - Decibel Hell: The effects of living in a noisy world https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1253729/ For more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email podcast@alephinsights.com

A life-changing solitary walk to the South Pole led to Erling Kagge writing best-selling book Silence; in the Age of Noise and the Norwegian explorer has a new book out about how walking can change and indeed save your life. He was the first person in history to reach ‘the three poles’, he’s explored New York’s sewers - sleeping in tunnels and meeting wonderful characters who lived there, he’s been attacked by a polar bear and won and confounded even the scientologists who thought he was crazy. With philosophies about life, happiness and how walking is almost a time machine to really get you thinking. On this episode we cover: How growing up in Oslo Norway inspiring his love of the outdoors His father believing cars and TV were societal diseases All of us being born explorers Kids wanting to climb before they can walk Wondering what’s beyond the horizon Being the first ever person to reach ‘the three poles’: The North Pole, The South Pole and Everest Kids exploring the world with devices Never losing the explores spirit The human urge to explore How we shouldn’t waste our opportunity to have a rich life His expeditions Walking to the South Pole in total solitude for 56 days The importance of silence How silence can be a good friend How silence can also be brutal Humans needing more silence within The physical challenges of reaching the South Pole The incredible mental challenges of reaching the South Pole Even a mouse can eat an elephant Taking one step at a time to reach the South Pole The life-changing solitary expedition Being ‘almost born skiing and walking’ Feeling that you become part of nature Starting to have a dialogue with the environment Not needing to go to the South Pole His books on silence and walking How sadness and loneliness come from having lost touch with nature How relating to man-made environments and phones is making people unhappy How the snow and ice takes on beautiful hues and nuances Learning to appreciate small helpings of beauty Antarctica’s blue summer skies Antarctica is a continent circumnavigated by oceans And the Arctic is an ocean circumnavigated by continents Where the names for the Arctic and Antarctic come from (bears!) Penguins and birdlife of Antarctica Antarctica being the world’s greatest desert, drier than the Sahara and with more sun than California City life and London life being ‘not normal at all’ How humans adapt to circumstances His new book Walking: One Step at a Time His previous book Silence: in the Age of Noise How walking can improve health and make you live longer How walking helps you to get to know yourself Walking being the greatest means of exploration Lisa’s urban walks (and friends thinking she’s mad) How walking beats driving every time (except maybe for speed) Time passing so much faster inside a car Time not being as linear as people think it is How walking is like creating a time machine How we all spend too much time on screens How the average Brit could spend 90,000 hours watching TV Making time to read How walking makes us more curious about other people His expedition to the North Pole being the toughest Trekking in minus 58 degrees Centigrade The shocking attack of a polar bear Killing a polar bear at close distance The fear he felt afterwards Being one to one with something that wants to eat you Whether there’s a flag at the poles The American base at the South Pole The emptiness after an expedition Life being so fantastic with so many things to do The people who live at the South Pole base Taking rocks for granted Carrying 98 rocks to the South Pole Climbing Everest Being in a rush to complete the ‘third pole’ Finding climbing Everest ‘tough’ How dying in the mountains means you stay young looking Young mountaineer Mollie Hughes (former Big Travel Podcast guest) Being too tired to worry about the dead people The exhilaration of getting to the summit The incredible view of the Himalayas How the British called Everest the third pole because we failed to get to the North and South Poles first Sailing across the Atlantic and down to Antarctica Steve Duncan American urban explorer Criss-crossing New York through subterranean tunnels in the sewers and tunnels The beauty of the New York sewers The people he met living in the tunnels A girl called Brooklyn who’d lived there for 28 years How Brooklyn was happy with what she’d got The ‘happiness industry’ because humans are hard to satisfy A walking expedition of Los Angeles Lisa being checked for walking in LA Prostitutes, junkies and walkers Deeply fascinating to see the city from a different angle Visiting the Church of Scientology on Sunset Boulevard The scientologists thinking they were crazy (but salvageable!) How LA is about ‘moving up’ ‘Wonder being the very engine of life’ How there really ain’t no mountain high enough How we all need to keep striving for our goals Life being a long walk
University of Chicago MBA professor Linnea Gandhi talked with Kurt and Tim recently about her consulting work, her passion for statistics, grading papers and how a good improvisational theatre production can be sheer joy. Self-descriptions of her own achievements are blanketed with modesty; however, her passions shine through when discussing her work, both past and present. Linnea is a remarkable person. After completing her undergraduate at Harvard and an MBA at the University of Chicago Booth School, she worked with the Boston Consulting Group, then with ideas42. And since last year, she’s operated her own consultancy based on the application of behavioral sciences while teaching MBA students at the University of Chicago. Her consultancy, BehavioralSight, takes clients beyond simple biases and into the methodologies of scientific measurement that are critical to professional and personal decision-making. When we caught up with Linnea, she was busy preparing a presentation for a conference she was invited to speak at and, simultaneously, was deep into reading a book on statistics. Statistics became central to our conversation and she even admitted to having a CRUSH on statistics! She sees a need to understand how we calculate decision probabilities and believes the world could be a better place with better application of statistical tools. In addition to her extensive work as consultant and teacher, she is one of the very special fraternity of people who have co-authored a paper with Nobel Laureate, Danny Kahneman. The paper, coauthored with Kahneman, Andrew Rosenfield and Tom Blaser, is called “Noise: How to Overcome the High, Hidden Cost of Inconsistent Decision Making.” Published in the October 2016 Harvard Business Review, the article shares the important lesson of how to differentiate biases from noise – you know, that thing we often refer to as chance variability. The authors write: “We call the chance variability of judgments noise. It is an invisible tax on the bottom line of many companies.” Kurt and Tim found that tremendously insightful. On the topic of excellent articles, Linnea’s piece on the People Science site, “Testing, Testing: Not All Failures Are Created Equal,” hit home with us, too. Her chart featuring the taxonomy of failure breaks down the need to focus on process failures, rather than outcome failures, which led us to discuss thinking in probabilities, a favorite topic of Annie Duke. We also talked about how people are particularly challenged when it comes to grasping uncertainty and developing concrete probabilities around difficult-to-identify risks. Quite frequently, Linnea puts these ideas to work in her consulting business. Clients often overreact to the freshest data or recent market changes, and she helps guide their way through the decisions that can be improved by relying on a broader data set. Stumbling on Kurt Lewin was a stroke of luck. If you’re not familiar, Lewin was a prolific creator of psychological observations and theories. His work is wide-ranging and our own Kurt Nelson, PhD has been a fan of Lewin’s for some time. Noteworthy is Lewin’s Equation, or so it is often called, that simplifies human behavior with a direct and unpretentious approach: behavior is a function of the person in their environment. When Linnea brought up Lewin, it was clear Kurt was loving the conversation. We discovered that Linnea’s connection to music is through movement – like dance and improvisational theatre – and leaves the singing up to people with better vocal cords. However, she’s a fan of Billy Joel and shared her fondness for “For the Longest Time,” which led Kurt and Tim to discuss our own favorite Billy Joel songs. We ended our conversation with Linnea with three succinct tips for those interested in improving their decision making. Look for disconfirming data. If you don’t write it down, it doesn’t exist. (Stolen from Linda Ginzel, a professor at the University of Chicago Booth School and author of “Choosing Leadership.”) Take a course in statistics! With that, we’ll end our comments with a quotation from the great Edwards Deming that reminds us to remain diligent in designing and implementing processes in our work and personal lives: “Every system is perfectly designed to produce the results it gets.”

On October 8, over 300 libraries participated in Indie Author Day. These libraries hosted events that allowed independent authors to share their books with the library patrons. The libraries also featured books by local authors and hosted lectures for potential writers on the publishing process. Our library, The Meyera E. Oberndorf Central Library in Virginia Beach, Virginia hosted a great event. It featured an opportunity for many local independent authors to participate in a book signing event. This allowed these authors to be exposed to the regular weekend patrons of the library. The library also held the following lectures: “A Guide to Publishing: Things Authors Should Know” – John Koehler “Editing Tips to Fire Up Your Fictions” – Crystal Walton “Rising Above the Noise: How to Increase Your Sales on Amazon.com” – Chris Kennedy A Skype session with A.G. Riddle, author of “The Atlantis Gene” We also watched a live webcast from indieauthorday.com. It was a very insightful and informative webcast that is good for any author to view. I was so impressed by the diversity of books written by these authors. I was inspired to grab my recording equipment and began conducting short interviews with as many authors as possible. It was wonderful talking with each of the authors I could interview. Their passion for their books and their willingness to take time to share was inspiring. It was at this event that my vision for this site became clear. This site will be a platform to showcase the work of independent and small press authors. The world of publishing is in the process of changing. The barriers that prevented authors for publishing their books have been lowered or destroyed. This means that more books by a wider variety of authors are available. This also means that it is harder for an author to get their book in front of readers. It also means that readers have more choices but many of those choices may never be presented to the reader. “Talking with Authors” will be a bridge between authors and readers. Each week, “Talking with Authors” will bring you interviews with independent and small press authors of all genres. I will also bring you news of book festivals, book signings and any other book related news I can find. So, let’s start off with two interviews I conducted at the Indie Author event. We begin by talking to Ward Howarth, the author of “River City Blues”. River City Blues is a historical crime thriller set in Richmond, Virginia during the year of 1944. (7 min 46 sec). Then we follow up with a conversation with James L Hill, the author of “Killer with Three Heads” along with several other books. Mr. Hill is an author who writes in many genres. (12 min 12 sec). Please share this episode with your book reading friends and subscribe to the podcast so you can receive all future episodes. Please use the links below to purchase a copy of the books by Ward Howarth and James L Hill. I have also included links to their websites and social media pages.
