En avant première de la série d'été 2023 nous vous offrons la rediffusion des premiers numéros des séries d'été de la saison 1, diffusés pour la première fois en plein covid, l'été 2020, et pour commencer l'exemple d'un "château" des temps modernes par SOM (voir leur interview dans le numéro S4#39 (en anglais)... à l'écoute on peut constater que le monde change bien vite... n'est-ce pas ?___La Tour John Hancock située à Chicago/USA, 875 North Michigan Avenue, fut livrée en 1969. Elle symbolisait alors puissance et innovation : gratte-ciel le plus haut du monde, multiplicité d'usage, technologie inédite grâce à une structure métallique assurant le contreventement par des croix, constituées de tubes, visibles en façade.Plus de 50 ans après sa construction, de quelle manière "Big John", de son petit nom, interroge-t-elle notre actualité : compte-tenu de l'accroissement de la population mondiale, faut-il continuer cette course au gratte-ciel le plus haut comme le démontre la Jeddah Tower? Sommes-nous fondamentalement innovant dans les programmes mixtes? A l'heure de la maquette numérique (BIM), du paramétrique et du Big Data, quel challenge?En six minutes, nous tentons cette mise en perspective. Hébergé par Acast.

As a preview of the 2023 summer series, we're offering you a rerun of the first issues of the season 1 summer series, broadcast for the first time in the middle of covid, summer 2020, and to start with the example of a modern-day "castle" by SOM (see their interview in issue S4#39)... listening to it, you can see how fast the world is changing... can't it?____The John Hancock Tower located in Chicago/USA, 875 North Michigan Avenue, was delivered in 1969. At the time, it was a symbol of power and innovation: the highest skyscraper in the world, multi-purpose, innovative technology thanks to a metal structure with cross-bracing made of tubes visible on the façade.More than 50 years after its construction, in what way does "Big John", resonates with the current news moment? Given the increase in the world's population, should we continue the race to reach the highest skyscraper (as the Jeddah Tower) ? Are we fundamentally innovative in mixed programmes? In this age of digital mock-up (BIM), parametric architecture and Big Data, what is the challenge?In six minutes, we try to put this into perspective. Hébergé par Acast.

This week we're celebrating our THIRTIETH EPISODE! To celebrate, we're going back into The B1M archives and looking at one of last years smash-hit videos "The Secret Subway That Could Save New York". The Interborough Express would fill a huge gap in the city's transit needs. However, no project is affordable or straight forward in the Big Apple.Later in the show, we chat about a boulevard in Düsseldorf that's intended to resemble a light-filled canyon. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, "Calatrava Boulevard" will modernise the space between Königsallee Boulevard, Königstrasse, and Steinstrasse in the heart of the city. Also, we talk about Chicago's iconic Tribune Tower finding new life as a luxury residential development. Built in the early 1920s, the neo-gothic building on North Michigan Avenue was home to the Chicago Tribune newspaper between 1925 and 2018. Now Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB) has worked with developers CIM Group and Golub and Company to repurpose the 34-storey structure and create 162 residential units, retaining its original lobby and the famous Chicago Tribune sign. We end the show with an email sent in by Noa from Sweden AND a lovely Apple Podcasts review that includes the question "...outside of The UK, which is your favourite European City architecturally?" - it gets spicy.Get in touch!

This podcast refers to the, “The Words of Jesus” book, as recorded in the Authorized, King James Version of the Holy Bible. Arranged and chronicled by Gilbert James Brett; Edited by Melbourne I. Feltman, PhD; Comprising the words of Jesus with authoritative adaptations of the Bible text of which they are a part; Consolidated Book Publishers, 153 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago; Copyright 1943 – the John A. Dickson Publishing Co. For your reference and convenience, each podcast episode will include the chapter text from the book which is referenced in the specific episode.  It is useful to recall that in the days Jesus ministered in the flesh, the Scriptures were not readily available to the general public; indeed literacy was not a common attribute.  Scriptures were copied with diligence by the Essenes.  The Scriptures were read in the Synagogues. The abundance of Bibles in our day has diminished the value placed on the Scriptures.  The record of the gospel and its wide availability came at a great cost. Check out the end of the lives of those involved in this endeavor.  Most were martyred for their trouble.  We should consider why they were willing to pay such a price to make the Scriptures available for us today.  They are a gift from God.   ***  Chapter 7: JESUS' WORDS TO NICODEMUS One night a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, came to Jesus and said: "Master, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him." Jesus answered: "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 'Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Perplexed by the answer, Nicodemus asked: "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus replied: "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 'Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God'. That which is born of flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, 'Ye must be born again.' The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth. So is everyone that is born of the Spirit.'" Nicodemus asked: "How can these things be?" Jesus answered: "Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 'We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.' If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to Heaven, but he that came down from Heaven, even the Son of man which is in Heaven. "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. "He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."

The John Hancock Tower located in Chicago/USA, 875 North Michigan Avenue, was delivered in 1969. At the time, it was a symbol of power and innovation: the highest skyscraper in the world, multi-purpose, innovative technology thanks to a metal structure with cross-bracing made of tubes visible on the façade.More than 50 years after its construction, in what way does "Big John", resonates with the current news moment? Given the increase in the world's population, should we continue the race to reach the highest skyscraper (as the Jeddah Tower) ? Are we fundamentally innovative in mixed programmes? In this age of digital mock-up (BIM), parametric architecture and Big Data, what is the challenge?In six minutes, we try to put this into perspective.

Galatians 6:9 “The One Thing Weariness Can’t Touch” Sermon Series: “Virtues that Keep Us Stable” Of all the guidelines we’ve been living under over these last three months as we’ve been doing our best to navigate this COVID-19 crisis, the one that I’ve found to be the most difficult to practice is making sure that I don’t touch any surfaces unnecessarily. In my mind, there’s a reason that God gave us two hands. He did so in order that we could touch stuff and surfaces and people. But now we are being told that none of that is in our best interest and we should do all we can to refrain from touching anything we don’t have to touch. I was reminded recently as to how I’m evidently not alone in my weariness with this particular practice. My friends at First Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama, as they were putting together a video to inform people on their plan for resuming their gathered worship, borrowed the popular M.C. Hammer song from the 90’s, “U Can’t Touch This,” as the backdrop for their instructions to their congregation. I thought it was quite clever. The point is that we’ve all grown quite weary of living by these new protocols, so much so that we have to find ways to spoof them, lest in the process of practicing them we lose every ounce of our patience. This morning we come to consider the importance of patience as one of the virtues that can keep us stable in a season of instability. As I think about that virtue, I see patience as a lot like the pennies that children put in their piggybanks growing up. I remember doing that; don’t you? And what I remember most about the pennies and the piggybanks is that while I always enjoyed storing up all of those pennies, I never relished the thought of ever having to use any of them. I think you can see the application. When we consider the question, “Do you have patience?” Our answer is, “Absolutely. I have patience; I have plenty of patience. I just don’t ever want to be in a position where I have to use any of it!” If that’s where you’re coming from this morning, but you are finding yourself in a season where you’re having to go to the “patience piggybank” and break it open in order to spend it, and you’re weary from having to do so, how might you find a way to fill back up your patience piggybank and in the process be renewed and reenergized for this exhausting time that we’re having to go through? That’s actually a question that Paul had to answer for himself as he offered guidance to the churches in the region of Galatia who in their spiritual impatience were getting ahead of God and His one protocol of faith in Jesus for a safe and fulfilling life. Here is the backdrop for Paul’s letter to the Galatians. The church’s witness had become threatened by insiders who contended that faith in Jesus wasn’t enough to guarantee their salvation; they had to add to their faith the practice of the Mosaic Law, which believers in Galatia had found terribly burdensome, to the point that they had become weary from having to endure all of those “protocols.” So, Paul wrote this letter to assure them that it is faith alone in Jesus that puts us in right standing with God and that if anyone tells you otherwise, you shouldn’t listen to them. It isn’t faith in Jesus “plus” something else. It is faith in Jesus alone that assures us of God’s acceptance, God’s forgiveness, and God’s salvation. And yet Paul did not want to be accused of dismissing the importance of expressing our faith in practical, tangible, touchable ways. There has to be a balance between faith and good deeds; and for Paul that balance is struck by our recognition that we don’t do good deeds in order to be put right with God. We do them instead because our faith has already put us right with God. Do you see the difference? And so in this passage, Paul urges the church not to lose their patience, not to become weary with doing good, with living productively, since doing good is something that goes back to the book of Genesis where God was about precisely that kind of work in bringing creation into existence. And as we join God in that work of making this world more of what God originally intended it to be, we become renewed and we become reenergized – we become “filled up” – in a fashion that never gets old. Part of our problem is that we don’t tend to view patience in this light. Ask most people to define patience, and they’ll come up with something that portrays patience as a sort of passive thing. But nothing could be farther from the truth. Patience is not something that is at odds with progress. It is instead the frame of mind that is necessary to stay in line with the leading of the Holy Spirit so that we persistently give ourselves in ways that advance the cause of Christ in our world even when it seems that nothing good is coming from it. I’m reminded of something that Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote in his famed Letters and Papers from Prison. Bonhoeffer, as you probably know, was a twentieth-century martyr, who lost his life in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II, but not before leaving his mark on the world, a mark that exists even to this day. As he reflected on his predicament in prison, he came to the realization, much as did the Apostle Paul in many of his prison epistles, that “everything has its time.” “Everything has its time,” Bonhoeffer wrote, “and the main thing is that we keep step with God, and do not keep pressing on a few steps ahead – nor do (we) keep dawdling a step (or two) behind. It’s presumptuous (of us) to want to have everything at once…(because) everything has its time.” In a day when we are always one click away from securing our heart’s desire, can you practice that degree of patience in your faith so that you find the joy and contentment, or as Paul calls it, “the harvest” of not allowing your weariness to get the best of you? Can you trust in God’s “proper time” so that you persistently give yourself to the work that Jesus has given you to do, one moment to the next, as an expression of your faith in him? If you can, then people around you will see it, because of how in our impatient culture there is such a lack of it, and they will in all likelihood want to join you because of how you have seemed to have discovered the key to such a rich and meaningful life, a life that no amount of money can buy. Peter Marty is a Lutheran pastor in Chicago and the publisher for The Christian Century magazine. In one of his columns he wrote about how sometimes life in a big city like Chicago can feel so inhuman, in large measure because of the constant sense of hurry that life in the big city seems to breed. He writes about how on the streets of Chicago the taxis vie for pole position at the stoplights and then cut one another off when the light turns green to beat the other taxis to a potential fare. But then sometimes, he writes, the city feels so full of grace that it makes him weep. He tells of how he often rides the bus from the church where he works on North Michigan Avenue, the major thoroughfare in Chicago, to the offices of the Century on South Michigan. He says the bus takes twice as long as a cab, but it costs a lot less and it almost always yields something interesting. For example, there was one day he got on the bus and started to read. At the next stop, however, he noticed an elderly white woman and he noticed how as she boarded the bus, she wasn’t sure how to use her transit card. She first put it upside down. Then she put it in backwards. And while the other passengers started to become increasingly distressed by the delay, the driver, a most pleasant black woman, patiently explained to the elderly white woman how to use the card. “Here, honey, let me do it for you,” she said, as she leaned out of her seat, one hand still on the wheel. The woman finally walked toward a seat, but then she turned back. “Excuse me,” she said. “Are you sure it only took one fare from my card? I heard it beep twice.” “No, honey,” the driver answered, it only took one fare. It always beeps twice.” “How do you know?” the woman demanded. “Here, let me show you. Come on up here and look at the indicator. There it is, your one fare.” By this time, Marty writes, the stoplight had cycled from red to green twice. Finally, they were underway. At the stop after that a man in a motorized chair pulled the cord. He was frail, and you could see the tubes from the oxygen tank that was helping him breathe. “I’m on my way to the VA hospital and I’m going to need some help,” he announced. Again, the driver responded graciously. She helped him negotiate his motorized chair to the door, told him how to position it for the mechanical lift, asked him to adjust the position an inch or two, and then activated the lift. The process took a long time. You could sense the tension and the impatience on the bus. The stoplight cycled a few more times and motorists began honking their car horns. And all the while the driver was unfazed and was, for Marty, a note of grace on that busy urban thoroughfare. As he got off the bus, he thanked her for her patience. And her response? “Just doing my job. You have a blessed day now, honey.” “Just doing my job.” So, how are you doing your job, the job that Jesus has given you to do? If you are doing it with any measure of patience, then weariness will never be able to touch what Jesus has called you to be about. You will never become weary by doing his good; and at the proper time, his time, you will indeed reap a harvest. You will reap a harvest if you persist in your patience and you do not, for the life of you, give up. Galatians 6:9

I saw a story on quora.com about Arnold Schwarzenegger. Before he became California's governor and while he was still a bodybuilder, he was walking down Venice Beach in southern California. Two young women saw his huge muscles, and I do mean huge!, and one of them supposedly said, "Ewww… I would never want to look like that!" He replied, "And you never willllll." The point being, he didn't really care what other people thought about the way he looked – he was pretty confident in who he was. Now, it's a great story and as a copywriter, you do need to worry… at least, about how prospects respond to your copy. And always keep this in mind: Copy is powerful. You're responsible for how you use what you hear on this podcast. Most of the time, common sense is all you need. But if you make extreme claims… and/or if you're writing copy for offers in highly regulated industries like health, finance, and business opportunity… you may want to get a legal review after you write and before you start using your copy. My larger clients do this all the time. Now, let's talk about confidence, and then we'll talk about how to build and keep a high level of confidence as a copywriter. There are some people who think you can say magic words over and over and that will make you confident. It's a very seductive theory, but it's simply not true. Then there are more sophisticated theories about deliberately rewiring your brain to increase your confidence. I don't know how that works, but I've never seen that work for copywriters. I'm not against these things. I'm only against depending on them by themselves. I know some of the most successful copywriters used techniques to build on the foundation of ability, skill and copywriting experience that gave them confidence in the first place. And I want to stick to the foundational stuff in today's episode. To start with, big difference between - confidence in self and ability to get the job done, and get results, and - confidence in a particular piece of copy you're writing or you've just written Self: This is what you want to establish, fortify, increase. We'll talk about how in depth in a few minutes. A particular piece of copy: Some anxiety is the price you pay to do this work. Reasons: - You never know for sure how well it will work until you test it - The creative process includes anxiety. Universally. All writers. Musicians. Comedians. Public speakers. Artists. Many other types of performers. > Aaron Sorkin quote abt screenwriting (paraphrasing): Very productive sessions followed by long periods of depression. (He was clearly only half-kidding, if kidding at all) - This is not necessarily something to "cure" – it's something to learn to live with. Here's why: o Edge of Chaos – you're going where no one's ever been before o Creativity, by its very nature, takes you from the familiar to the unfamiliar. If it's totally familiar, it's the same old shit, and it may not work very well. If it's unfamiliar, it might be uncomfortable. - When you get into that flow state, it's an adventure. - Two pieces of advice, which I've used successfully myself: o Surrender to the weird feelings. That helps them move through you and move on. Fighting them locks 'em in. o Attributed to Fritz Perls, founder of Gestalt Therapy: "Fear is excitement without breathing." You don't need to be a nervous wreck. Everyone has their own way of handling it. I'm going through all of this in detail to point out that you can still be baseline confident and solid, and if you're freaking out about a particular project you're working on – that's to be expected sometimes. Don't confuse that with lack of confidence. They're two different things. Now that we have "The Creativity Dance" covered, let's talk about baseline confidence. Four key steps most people are too scared to take: 1. Failure 2. Resiliance 3. Reflection and analysis 4. Adjustment And start over. Most people think confidence comes from success. And there's some truth to that. But if you take a person who has only had success and put him in a situation where he fails, he's not going to handle it very well. Deep down such a person knows that. And that's why that person is not really as baseline confident as the person who's had his share of success, but also weathered his share of storms. That's confidence. The other key ingredient to baseline confidence is learning. Not just learning through doing, but learning through studying. Reading the copywriting books. Taking seminars. Studying what other people are doing with their copy. Really building a practical knowledge base about copywriting. Hey, even listening to the Copywriters Podcast. ESPECIALLY listening to the Copywriters Podcast. Hey, let me tell you about scaling the heights, in a way you've probably never thought of before. This will help you grasp what I'm saying about baseline confidence, compared to temporary uncomfortable feelings on a project. Have you ever been on the top of a skyscraper under construction? I have. Many years ago. The early 1980s. I was a reporter for a construction magazine. The contractor invited me up to the top of this building on North Michigan Avenue in Chicago. I'm not sure why. Part of the story, I guess. When I was up there, I'm not sure I had any tether. But I know the scaffolding or whatever it was called was solid around me. The floorboards were nailed down and weren't bending or creaking. It was kinda windy up there, though. I'd never been up nearly that high on a building in the open air. It was scary. But I felt confident that the scaffolding and the floorboards were solid. Now imagine that the scaffolding was rusty and not well put together. And one of the floorboards broke when I stepped on it. I would have felt entirely different. Not just scared of the heights and the wind, but really worried, maybe even terrified, that I was going to take a 200-story plunge to the ground. Let me show you how that true story provides a model for the difference between baseline confidence and the anxiety or other negative feelings you might have when you're working on some copy. The solid scaffolding and the stable floorboards are like baseline confidence. In copywriting, your scaffolding and your floorboards are you experience, including your failures – what you learned from them, and what you decided to do differently until you found out what works. The scaffolding and the floorboards are also your study and your experience with others – mentors, teachers, other copywriters, clients. All of the things we've talked about. But each new piece you write might be like walking around for the first time in the open air, 200 stories up. You have a solid foundation underneath you and around you to give you confidence, but you could still feel a little weird in an unfamiliar place. Now I want to turn the Arnold story we started with on its head a little bit. Actually Arnold DID care what people thought about him. A lot. He wouldn't have won the bodybuilding contests if the judges didn't think he was the best. He wouldn't have starred in so many movies if directors didn't like him best, and of course audiences. And he wouldn't have gotten elected California governor if enough people didn't vote for him. The key thing about Arnold and the women on the beach is, he ACCEPTED himself for who he was. He wasn't insecure about THAT. But other people do matter. And to get confidence as a copywriter, you want to be around other people. It could be work in a group. It could be taking seminars. It could be getting a mentor. It's important not to go it alone and to learn from others. That builds confidence too.Download.

The point being, he didn't really care what other people thought about the way he looked – he was pretty confident in who he was. Now, it's a great story and as a copywriter, you do need to worry… at least, about how prospects respond to your copy. And always keep this in mind: Copy is powerful. You're responsible for how you use what you hear on this podcast. Most of the time, common sense is all you need. But if you make extreme claims… and/or if you're writing copy for offers in highly regulated industries like health, finance, and business opportunity… you may want to get a legal review after you write and before you start using your copy. My larger clients do this all the time. Now, let's talk about confidence, and then we'll talk about how to build and keep a high level of confidence as a copywriter. There are some people who think you can say magic words over and over and that will make you confident. It's a very seductive theory, but it's simply not true. Then there are more sophisticated theories about deliberately rewiring your brain to increase your confidence. I don't know how that works, but I've never seen that work for copywriters. I'm not against these things. I'm only against depending on them by themselves. I know some of the most successful copywriters used techniques to build on the foundation of ability, skill and copywriting experience that gave them confidence in the first place. And I want to stick to the foundational stuff in today's episode. To start with, big difference between - confidence in self and ability to get the job done, and get results, and - confidence in a particular piece of copy you're writing or you've just written Self: This is what you want to establish, fortify, increase. We'll talk about how in depth in a few minutes. A particular piece of copy: Some anxiety is the price you pay to do this work. Reasons: - You never know for sure how well it will work until you test it - The creative process includes anxiety. Universally. All writers. Musicians. Comedians. Public speakers. Artists. Many other types of performers. > Aaron Sorkin quote abt screenwriting (paraphrasing): Very productive sessions followed by long periods of depression. (He was clearly only half-kidding, if kidding at all) - This is not necessarily something to "cure" – it's something to learn to live with. Here's why: o Edge of Chaos – you're going where no one's ever been before o Creativity, by its very nature, takes you from the familiar to the unfamiliar. If it's totally familiar, it's the same old shit, and it may not work very well. If it's unfamiliar, it might be uncomfortable. - When you get into that flow state, it's an adventure. - Two pieces of advice, which I've used successfully myself: o Surrender to the weird feelings. That helps them move through you and move on. Fighting them locks 'em in. o Attributed to Fritz Perls, founder of Gestalt Therapy: "Fear is excitement without breathing." You don't need to be a nervous wreck. Everyone has their own way of handling it. I'm going through all of this in detail to point out that you can still be baseline confident and solid, and if you're freaking out about a particular project you're working on – that's to be expected sometimes. Don't confuse that with lack of confidence. They're two different things. Now that we have "The Creativity Dance" covered, let's talk about baseline confidence. Four key steps most people are too scared to take: 1. Failure 2. Resiliance 3. Reflection and analysis 4. Adjustment And start over. Most people think confidence comes from success. And there's some truth to that. But if you take a person who has only had success and put him in a situation where he fails, he's not going to handle it very well. Deep down such a person knows that. And that's why that person is not really as baseline confident as the person who's had his share of success, but also weathered his share of storms. That's confidence. The other key ingredient to baseline confidence is learning. Not just learning through doing, but learning through studying. Reading the copywriting books. Taking seminars. Studying what other people are doing with their copy. Really building a practical knowledge base about copywriting. Hey, even listening to the Copywriters Podcast. ESPECIALLY listening to the Copywriters Podcast. Hey, let me tell you about scaling the heights, in a way you've probably never thought of before. This will help you grasp what I'm saying about baseline confidence, compared to temporary uncomfortable feelings on a project. Have you ever been on the top of a skyscraper under construction? I have. Many years ago. The early 1980s. I was a reporter for a construction magazine. The contractor invited me up to the top of this building on North Michigan Avenue in Chicago. I'm not sure why. Part of the story, I guess. When I was up there, I'm not sure I had any tether. But I know the scaffolding or whatever it was called was solid around me. The floorboards were nailed down and weren't bending or creaking. It was kinda windy up there, though. I'd never been up nearly that high on a building in the open air. It was scary. But I felt confident that the scaffolding and the floorboards were solid. Now imagine that the scaffolding was rusty and not well put together. And one of the floorboards broke when I stepped on it. I would have felt entirely different. Not just scared of the heights and the wind, but really worried, maybe even terrified, that I was going to take a 200-story plunge to the ground. Let me show you how that true story provides a model for the difference between baseline confidence and the anxiety or other negative feelings you might have when you're working on some copy. The solid scaffolding and the stable floorboards are like baseline confidence. In copywriting, your scaffolding and your floorboards are you experience, including your failures – what you learned from them, and what you decided to do differently until you found out what works. The scaffolding and the floorboards are also your study and your experience with others – mentors, teachers, other copywriters, clients. All of the things we've talked about. But each new piece you write might be like walking around for the first time in the open air, 200 stories up. You have a solid foundation underneath you and around you to give you confidence, but you could still feel a little weird in an unfamiliar place. Now I want to turn the Arnold story we started with on its head a little bit. Actually Arnold DID care what people thought about him. A lot. He wouldn't have won the bodybuilding contests if the judges didn't think he was the best. He wouldn't have starred in so many movies if directors didn't like him best, and of course audiences. And he wouldn't have gotten elected California governor if enough people didn't vote for him. The key thing about Arnold and the women on the beach is, he ACCEPTED himself for who he was. He wasn't insecure about THAT. But other people do matter. And to get confidence as a copywriter, you want to be around other people. It could be work in a group. It could be taking seminars. It could be getting a mentor. It's important not to go it alone and to learn from others. That builds confidence too.Download.
