Podcasts about not important

Welcome back to the Empower Her Business Accelerator podcast! I'm your host, Philippa Channer, and this month we're digging into the business activities that actually drive your growth. If you've been tuning in regularly, you know we're on a journey to help you build a smarter, more intentional business—one that works for you and not the other way around. Last week in Episode 182, we focused on identifying the tasks that genuinely move your business forward. This week, we're taking that knowledge a step further—because knowing what matters is one thing, but knowing what to do first is where the magic happens. Prioritizing effectively is what helps you move out of reaction mode and into your CEO mindset, where you're confidently steering the ship, not scrambling to bail water. So whether you're mapping out your next big launch, managing a team, or still wearing all the hats—this episode is designed to help you find clarity, ditch the busywork, and create real momentum. ⏱️ Timestamps & Key Segments (00:00) Welcome & Episode Overview We begin by grounding ourselves in the “why.” Summer is a strategic season—while many slow down, it's your chance to ramp up for a powerful fall. I remind you how the Empower Her Program can support you during this planning phase. [INSERT LINK] to explore your options. (01:00) Step 1: Identify High-Value vs. Low-Value Tasks All tasks are not created equal—and if you're spending hours tweaking your website or organizing your inbox, it might be time to reassess. I share a real example where I spent four hours trying to automate something that only saves me 15 minutes per week. That's a classic case of a low-value rabbit hole. High-value tasks? Think lead generation, offer creation, follow-ups, and collaborations—things that actually bring revenue or visibility.

While the show is on hiatus, we want to share a few podcasts on the HERO feed that we think you might like. We will release these episodes over the next month.  This first one is from a podcast called The Most Important Question from the Important, Not Important team. When HERO first launched, Important, Not Important featured one of our early episodes. It's a good show, and we've been happy to remain in touch over the years. This episode fits in well with our recent season. It's an interview with Dr. Ticora V. Jones, who served as the chief scientist for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). She's currently the chief science officer at the NRDC.  ----------- Have feedback or questions about the episode? Tweet at the show, or send a message to questions@importantnotimportant.com.

Please enjoy the debut episode from our new show, Not Right Now. Every week, Claire (Evil Witches) and Quinn (Important, Not Important) dive into the chaotic reality of raising tiny humans in these wild times. From behavioral reflection forms and schoolyard diplomacy to the eternal question of "how many water bottles does one child need?", we explore the messy, hilarious, and occasionally terrifying truth about modern parenting. Plus: why every parent should have friends who don't make you add "...but of course I love them!" to your rants, the special anxiety of raising boys who won't become supervillains, and the paradox of counting down to bedtime while simultaneously scrolling through baby photos. A conversation for parents who know that both dreading dinner and cherishing every moment can be true at the same time. A new show from Important, Not Important.-----------Have feedback or questions?

主播：Wendi（中国）+Selah（美国） 歌曲：Birds of A Feather今天的节目我们来聊一聊time management（时间管理），尤其是“四象限法则”。This is such an important skill today when we often have to multitask.·multitask v. 多任务工作01. Four Quadrants Work Method 四象限工作法The Four Quadrant Method, also known as the Eisenhower Matrix (艾森豪威尔矩阵) or the Time Management Matrix (时间管理矩阵), is a popular tool for prioritizing tasks based on their urgency and importance (紧急性和重要性).So, it is a tool for time management. 它的基本原则就是根据任务的轻重缓急来决定处理的先后顺序。It was popularized by Stephen Rechards Covey (史蒂芬·柯维) in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (《高效人士的七个习惯》). 这个四象限工作法则就是在这本书里被带火了。It was created by Dwight David Eisenhower (德怀特·戴维·艾森豪威尔). 根据urgency and importance这两个维度，任务被分成了四种类型。Its key benefits are that it clarifies priorities (明确优先级), helps with decision-making (决策制定), and improves focus on important tasks.02. The four categories(1) Quadrant I: Urgent and Important 象限1——紧急且重要These tasks require immediate attention and are critical to achieving your goals. They often include crises (危机), pressing deadlines (紧迫的最后期限), and emergency issues (紧急问题).(2) Quadrant II: Not Urgent but Important 象限2——不紧急但重要象限2的这些任务一般对我们的long-term success（长期发展）很重要，比如personal growth（个人成长），building relationships（建立人际关系），and long-term planning（长期规划）。Examples: strategic planning (战略规划), relationship-building, self-care, exercise, learning, and professional development (专业发展).(3) Quadrant III: Urgent but Not Important 象限3——紧急但不重要These tasks demand immediate attention but do not contribute significantly to (对......有重大贡献) your long-term goals. They are often interruptions or distractions (干扰或者导致我们分心的事情).Examples: some emails, phone calls, meetings, and minor issues (不重要的问题) that feel pressing but aren't crucial.(4) Quadrant IV: Not Urgent and Not Important 象限4——不紧急且不重要These tasks often leading to time-wasting activities. They can be a source of procrastination (拖延症的根源).Examples: mindless web browsing (漫无目的地刷手机), excessive social media use (过度使用社交媒体), watching TV, or engaging in trivial activities (从事琐碎的活动).03. How do we use it?(1) Categorize Tasks (任务分类): List all your tasks and place them into one of the four quadrants based on their urgency and importance (把你目前的任务按照紧急性和重要性这两个维度放到这四个象限中).(2) Prioritize Quadrant II (重点关注象限2): Focus on activities in Quadrant II to achieve long-term success (获取长期成功) and reduce the time spent in Quadrant I. 也就是说在完成这些紧急且重要的事的时候要提高效率，不要占用太多时间。(3) Minimize Quadrant III (缩减象限3): Try to delegate or limit the time spent on tasks in Quadrant III.(4) Avoid Quadrant IV (取消象限4): Eliminate or minimize (取消或缩减) activities in Quadrant IV to use your time more effectively.Overall, this method of prioritizing your tasks based on the four quadrants sounds really workable (可行的). 但实际上第一步可能相当困难，因为你必须要figure out which task is truly important to you (弄清楚哪项任务对你来说是真正重要的).That is why it takes time to evaluate (评估) what is important and why things might need to be done in a certain order (为什么事情可能需要按照一定的顺序来做). Does it affect other people? What will happen if it isn't done immediately? 所以在用这个方法之前最重要的是要先分清楚任务的重要性。04. Are there any other methods?(1) Using a shared calendar (共享日历): this is especially helpful when coordinating with a spouse or family members to balance multiple schedules (当与配偶或家庭成员协调平衡多个日程安排时).Selah uses this with her Fiancé (未婚夫). 她在iPhone上有一个共享的日历（我们也可以用谷歌日历）。When one of them has an event, they put it in. It saves so much effort and miscommunications (省去很多精力和误解). 在手机上和家人或者朋友建一个共享日历，既方便又能起到一个互相督促的作用。(2) Timeboxing (时间盒): It involves setting a fixed amount of time (设置一个固定的时间) for a specific task or activity. The difference is that you stop working when the time is up, regardless of whether the task is completed (当时间结束时，无论任务是否完成，你都将停止工作).这样就不会导致上一个事情的进程耽误之后的事情。But, to be honest, as somewhat of a perfectionist (完美主义者), this can be a bit annoying (有点恼人), not being able to get something 100% done.But you have to zoom out (从大局看) and realize that this can be essential within the grand scheme of things (这在宏大的计划中是必不可少的).Wendi doesn't really have a method for time management. What she did was to simply list out all the deadlines on her calendar (在日历上简单列出所有事情的截止日期), and then break down these tasks into smaller ones (把这些任务分成更小的任务) and put them on her to-do-list (待办事项清单) every day.05. Benefits of good time management 良好的时间管理的好处Once you are good at time management, it not only reduces stress, but helps you spend time on the most important things, and not waste time and energy on things that do not matter! It makes life more fulfilling and efficient (使生活更充实和高效). It also makes sure you don't forget important things.For Wendi, managing tasks can really help her to relieve anxiety (减轻压力), because most of time our anxiety comes from not having control over the uncertainties in the future (因为大多数时候，我们的焦虑来自于无法控制未来的不确定性). So being more organized (更有条理) allows her to deal with these tasks one step at a time (一步一步处理这些工作) and know when or how she will finish them.

Chapter 1:Summary of First Things First Book"First Things First" is a self-help book by Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger Merrill, and Rebecca R. Merrill, published in 1994. It follows the principles Covey introduced in "The 7 Habities of Highly Effective People" and tackles the theme of time management more deeply, with a focus on prioritization and balance.The central thesis of "First Things First" is the importance of managing one's time by focusing on what's most important, not just what's urgent. Covey introduces a framework for prioritizing work that is aimed at long-term goals, rather than responding to immediate demands of life. This concept is presented through the "Time Management Matrix" that categorizes activities into four quadrants:1. **Urgent and Important** (crises, deadlines)2. **Not Urgent but Important** (relationships, planning, recreation)3. **Urgent but Not Important** (interruptions, some calls)4. **Not Urgent and Not Important** (trivia, time wasters)Covey argues that effectiveness is achieved by focusing on Quadrant II (Not Urgent but Important) activities, which improve management skills, foster positive relationships, and help establish a balanced life. This quadrant is key to proactive and strategic time management.The book also discusses the importance of having a clear vision and defining mission statements for one's personal and professional life. It emphasizes the urgency of doing things that align with one's deepest values rather than reacting to external demands or circumstances.Additionally, Covey talks about interdependence as a higher value than independence, moving from a paradigm of “time management” to “self-management.” The focus is on making principle-centered changes to one's lifestyle and making decisions based on an ethical framework.In summary, "First Things First" is about prioritizing one's life activities based on what is most essential and aligning them with personal values and life missions, leading to more productive, balanced, and fulfilling lives.Chapter 2:the theme of First Things First Book"First Things First" by Stephen R. Covey is a self-help book that encourages readers to prioritize what is truly important in their lives, as opposed to what is merely urgent. The book builds upon the ideas presented in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," another of Covey's bestselling works. In "First Things First," Covey, along with co-authors A. Roger Merrill and Rebecca R. Merrill, expands on these concepts with a greater focus on time management and life balance. Here's an overview of the key plot points, character development, and thematic ideas:1. **Key Plot Points:**- Although "First Things First" isn't a narrative book and thus doesn't have a plot, it presents a conceptual journey which begins with the reader's existing understanding and management of time.- It examines the widespread urgency addiction, where people respond reactively to immediate demands rather than focusing on activities that are truly important.- The book introduces a time management approach which involves organizing tasks by their importance and urgency, resulting in a four-quadrant matrix to guide decision-making.- Covey emphasizes the role of vision, mission, and balance in effectively managing one's time, proposing that one should align their actions with deeply held values and principles.2. **Character Development:**- In self-help and non-fiction leadership books like "First Things First," character development pertains more to the reader's personal and professional growth as encouraged by the exercises,...

Welcome to The Everyday Life Balance Show, the podcast where we dive deep into the art of living our best lives. I am your host, Pascale Gibon, here to guide you on this beautiful journey towards self-improvement. Thank you for tuning in to episode 313 of The Everyday Life Balance Show.   We continue our series this month on focusing forward for goal achievement. In this episode, we are tackling a subject that is near and dear to our hearts – beating procrastination and boosting productivity.   But before we jump into the strategies and techniques, let's take a moment to acknowledge that we have all been there. We have all been through those days when the to-do list feels overwhelming, and lying on the couch watching a comedy is way more comfortable than our work chair. Procrastination is real. I believe our awareness of procrastination patterns makes it easier to break free.    So, what is the secret to overcoming procrastination and improving our productivity? Well, one key secret is the fine art of prioritisation. And trust me, it is an art worth mastering.   The Eisenhower Matrix Let's start with a classic technique that has stood the test of time – the Eisenhower Matrix. Named after the 34th President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, this matrix is a simple yet powerful tool for decision-making and prioritisation. It is probably the prioritisation technique you are most familiar with.   Here is how it works: Picture a square divided into four quadrants. In the top left, we have the "Urgent and Important" tasks – those demanding immediate attention. The top right is for "Important but Not Urgent" tasks – things we can schedule and plan for. On the bottom left, we find "Urgent but Not Important" tasks – these are often distractions we should delegate or minimise. Finally, the bottom right is for "Not Urgent and Not Important" – which includes activities we should consider dropping altogether. The Eisenhower Matrix is like a compass for your to-do list, guiding you toward what truly matters in the grand scheme of goal achievement.   Time Blocking Now, let's venture into the world of time blocking. This technique involves breaking your day into distinct blocks of time that you each dedicate to a specific task or category of tasks.  What I love about this prioritisation technique is that it is like creating a schedule for your day, but with a laser focus on what you need to accomplish.   For instance, designate a block in the morning for high-priority, challenging tasks when your energy levels are at their peak. Reserve the afternoons for meetings, emails, and less demanding work. Do not forget to include breaks – they are crucial for maintaining energy and focus throughout the day.   My favourite time management technique is time blocking, which I learned from the #1 bestselling author, Robin Sharma. The idea is to block 5 hours a day for productivity and effectiveness. Time Blocking technique works for me even though there are times when 5 hours turn into 9 or 10 hours of productivity. What I like about this technique is that, in my mind, I dedicate 5 hours to productive work. At the end of 5 hours, it is so satisfying to know you have accomplished your tasks.   Time blocking not only helps you prioritise tasks but also ensures that you are dedicating the right amount of time to each task, avoiding the pitfall of spending too much time on less important and urgent activities.   The Pomodoro Technique Next up on our productivity journey is the Pomodoro Technique. This technique is great if you like breaking your work into manageable chunks. The word 'pomodoro' means tomato in Italian, and in the context of work, it refers to a period of focused activity. Each ‘pomodoro' represents a chunk of time dedicated to a specific task or project.  Therefore, the Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that involves working in short, focused bursts – typically 25 minutes – followed by a 5-minute break. You then take an extensive break of 15-30 minutes after four consecutive work intervals. It might sound simple, but the magic of this technique is in its ability to enhance concentration and prevent burnout. Plus, as a follow-up of episode 312 on navigating procrastination to achieve your goals, it turns the mountain of work into a series of achievable sprints.   It is an effective technique for focused work, and it is like turning your workday into a marathon of productivity, one Pomodoro at a time.   Now, my lovely listeners, we have covered, in this episode, three effective prioritisation techniques: The Eisenhower Matrix,  Time Blocking, and The Pomodoro Technique. But here is a notable point: there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The key is finding what resonates with you and aligns with your unique rhythm and style.   Remember, beating procrastination and boosting productivity is a journey, not a destination. Embrace the process by celebrating your wins and learning from your challenges. You've got this!   Thank you for tuning in to The Everyday Life Balance Show. I hope you enjoyed this episode. Remember, now is your time to transform your life one step at a time.   You do not know until you try. Therefore, I invite you to work first with the prioritisation technique that appeals to you and see if it works for you.   Decide now what you will start with first: The Eisenhower Matrix involves creating a square divided into four quadrants:  Urgent & Important Important but not urgent Urgent but not important Not urgent and not important. The Time Blocking technique whereby you block, for example, 5 hours for focused work? Or the Pomodoro Technique, which includes 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break and an extensive break of 15-30 minutes after four consecutive work intervals? You can play around with these techniques. For example, you can mix the Eisenhower Matrix with Time Blocking or the Eisenhower Matrix with the Pomodoro Technique. I think this would work well. I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Until then, have a fantastic week of productivity and efficiency. Take care and lots of love and light.

Today, I want to talk about how to improve your time management and productivity as a key way to increase your chances for promotion. If you're like many people, you may role your eyes at the term “time management.” If you're structured and organized, you may think you've already mastered time management. If you are unstructured and disorganized, you may think it's hopeless…a skill beyond your ability to master. Here's a definition of time management I really like: “Time management means organizing your time intelligently – so that you use it more effectively. The benefits of good time management include greater productivity, less stress, and more opportunities to do the things that matter.” Here's a benefit to time management I want to add: It creates boundaries around the things you need to do, should do, and want to do in your life. Think of it like this: You create a container for your work, a container for your play, a container for sleep, a container for your exercise time…you get the idea. The alternative is working until midnight, forgoing exercise, time with friends, and time for basic hygiene. Or conversely, neglecting your work because you haven't given it a container – and your personal life is encroaching on your work time. Yet another scenario is you, doing whichever thing you're doing at the moment, but feeling guilty because you aren't doing something else. Here are my top 12 strategies to improve your time management. In each instance, I'm giving you some of my tips as to how I implement that strategy. 1.    Set clear goals – both long-term and short-term. This will help you prioritize your tasks. And make sure those goals are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Otherwise, you won't be able to evaluate your success. I have a quarterly planning retreat, where I review my progress on my goals from the previous quarter and set goals for the upcoming quarter. From that planning and goal setting, I create an Action Items list that ties directly into those goals. I estimate how much time each action item will take, and rank them in priority, e.g. A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2. I've figured out through trial and error that I can handle about 15 hours of Action Items each quarter – my tendency is to overcommit myself, and then I feel frustrated when I seemingly haven't made much progress.  2.    Use the quadrants. There are four: Urgent and Important, Urgent and Not Important, Not Urgent and Important, and Not Urgent and Not Important. As you set out your daily tasks, you want to focus on the Important sections of the quadrant: Urgent and Important, and Not Urgent and Important. The idea here is to minimize the time you spend on Not Important activities so you can focus on what's really important. Some of the tools I use here include limiting the time I check emails, minimizing distractions such as phone notifications, and using blocks to calendar in my activities each day – more about that one in a moment.  3.    Block your time. Allocate time blocks for the various activities you need to complete – this helps you avoid multitasking and allows you to really focus. My entire workday, each day, is completely time blocked. In each block, I can include notes as to what, specifically, I need to do during that time block. I found this particularly helpful when I started spending 15 minutes a day on LinkedIn – my brain kept yelling at me that I needed to be doing something more important/urgent. But I set the timer on my phone for 15 minutes, and I have developed a cadence of the things I do each time I'm in LinkedIn. Another way I use time blocking is for my writing projects. Once I have had the two resume strategy sessions with a client, I go into my calendar (I use Outlook) and write in which day I will work on each aspect of the client's writing project. I also indicate which day is the deadline to get that client's first drafts to them.  4.    Create a To-Do List. Whether daily or weekly, include both work-related and personal tasks, and keep it updated. I really like my system for this: Each Sunday, I print out a planning sheet for each day of the week. It already has time blocks for the various activities I do, such as client writing projects and marketing my business, and I have already have certain activities I do each week on there. From there, I fill in specifics for that day – which client projects do I need to work on? Do I need to schedule a doctor's appointment or follow up with someone? It all goes on that day's sheet.  5.    Eliminate Distractions. I alluded to this one earlier – social media, notifications, clutter, phone calls, emails, people stopping by – take steps to minimize or eliminate them when working on important tasks. When I'm working on a project at my computer, I close out my emails – I don't have my computer set to notify me of emails, but I don't want the temptation to check them. I turn my phone upside down and I don't answer my phone unless it's from someone I am waiting to speak with.  6.    Learn to Say No. Avoid overcommitting by saying no to tasks or requests that don't align with your goals or priorities. I don't have to deal with this much because I'm self-employed, but I promise the world will not stop revolving if you say no on occasion. Or not right now. Or “let's discuss this in ___.”  7.    Delegate. Delegating frees up your time for more important responsibilities. Here's the thing I've learned about delegating, both from my days as the director of two university career centers and now, as the CEO of my own company: Those tasks I do not enjoy doing and/or aren't particularly good at and/or just aren't a good use of my time are GOLDEN for someone else. I could do an entire episode on delegation…maybe I will. Suffice it to say that Your Trash May Be a Co-Worker's Treasure.  8.    Use Time Management Tools. Maximize your use of your calendaring system, check into task management apps and project management software, set reminders, use old-school daily planning sheets like I do. Find what works for you and decide to stick with it for at least 30 days.  9.    Plan Ahead. This helps you start your day with a clear agenda. I create my daily task sheets on Sunday and write in the specifics for Monday. Then, each afternoon before wrapping up for the day, I write in the specifics for the next day.  10.Avoid Multitasking. The research is clear: multitasking decreases productivity and quality of your work. My best recommendation to avoid multitasking is to eliminate the distractions I've already talked about. Also, when I was in higher education, I had a sign system for our doors to indicate when we should not be disturbed.  11.Take breaks throughout the day.  I set my phone alarm for 50 minutes, then give myself a 10-minute break. Knowing I have a break coming fairly soon really helps me focus during that 50 minutes.  12.Set Deadlines. Even for tasks that don't have external deadlines, set your own to create a sense of urgency. As I mentioned, I do this with my client projects. I can see clearly when the project is due and what portion of the project I am to complete each day and when. Circling back around to the beginning: Give yourself true free time to do the things you enjoy by blocking time for your work and home obligations.  DIY vs. DFY  DIY My Do-It-Yourself tip for time management has to do with tracking how you are spending your time. For at least one week, make note of each 15-minute block of time – what you did and what quadrant it fits into. (Remember, these are Urgent and Important, Urgent and Not Important, Not Urgent and Important, and Not Urgent and Not Important.) Then take a critical look at your data. Are you making the best use of your time? Are you using your time on the right things? How much time are you wasting – and what are the primary culprits? Then make some changes to better manage your time and be more productive. DFY While you really must manage your time yourself – or at least parts of it – my DFY is a couple of time management books I really like. -The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey – a classic, but still relevant -The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Achieving More with Less by Richard Koch -Atomic Habits by James Clear – not specifically about time management, but about breaking bad habits and creating positive ones

YouTube TikTok Reels Gregg's YouTube Procrastination is a universal struggle that can hinder our productivity and progress. It's a frustrating habit that affects many aspects of our lives, from work to personal goals. However, in the podcast "Tiny Leaps, Big Changes" hosted by Gregg Clunis, listeners are provided with valuable insights and strategies to combat procrastination and enhance their productivity. Understanding Procrastination: In this episode, Gregg Clunis delves into the concept of procrastination, emphasizing the frustration it brings. He explores common reasons why people procrastinate, including a lack of engagement, confidence, energy, and support. By understanding the root causes, listeners can gain valuable insights into their own procrastination patterns. Ways to Get Organized: To overcome procrastination, organization is key. Gregg introduces several practical techniques to help listeners get organized and stay focused. The Eisenhower Box is a powerful tool for prioritization. By dividing tasks into four categories - Important and Urgent, Important but Not Urgent, Not Important but Urgent, and Not Important and Not Urgent - listeners gain clarity on what needs immediate attention and what can be delayed or eliminated. Time blocking is another effective strategy discussed in the podcast. By dividing the day into dedicated blocks of time for different tasks or categories, individuals can structure their schedules and eliminate distractions during those focused periods. Flexibility is essential in making this technique work for individual needs and preferences. The Pomodoro Technique provides a structured approach to working in focused bursts. By setting a timer for 25 minutes, working on a task, and then taking short breaks, individuals can maintain their focus and productivity throughout the day. This method helps break tasks into manageable increments and encourages sustained effort. The 2-Minute Rule is a simple yet impactful strategy that encourages immediate action. If a task takes less than 2 minutes to complete, it is advisable to tackle it right away. For tasks that require more time, committing to at least 2 minutes of work on them can help overcome the initial resistance to getting started. Behavioral Changes and Mindset Shifts: Beyond organizational techniques, the podcast explores the importance of behavioral changes and mindset shifts in combating procrastination. Gregg emphasizes the significance of a healthy routine and environment, as they play a vital role in fostering productivity. Establishing positive habits and creating an environment conducive to focus and concentration can greatly enhance productivity levels. Changing how we view tasks and time is another crucial mindset shift. Rather than aiming for perfection, focusing on progress and embracing the idea that imperfect action is better than no action can help overcome the fear of failure and perfectionism that often contribute to procrastination. The podcast also highlights the role of rewards and positive reinforcement in behavior change. Celebrating small wins and acknowledging accomplishments can help maintain motivation and create positive momentum towards overcoming procrastination.

In Episode 129, Quinn tries to better understand data privacy, data stewardship, and what it means for Indigenous cultures in the future of biotech, how we design equity into genetic research, and who gets to make those decisions. His guest is Krystal Tsosie, a geneticist, bioethicist, and—first and foremost to her—a person Indigenous to the southwestern United States, specifically the Navajo nation. She is the co-founder and Ethics and Policy Director at the Native BioData Consortium, the first Indigenous-led biological data repository for tribes in the US. “Representation” is just the first step (and so much more than who shows up on screen in the latest Disney movie (though even things there are still embarrassingly bland).  Next up is inclusivity: It's about who's in the room writing and building the future of technology, it's about asking who makes the rules, and who benefits from them?  But the real goal is equity, and benefit. And biotech in particular is one sector that could get out of hand real fast unless we approach it in a more inclusive and cooperative way. Krystal started her career with one question: Why don't Indigenous people generally participate in genetic studies? And the dominoes fell from there. Representation, inclusivity, equity, benefit – we can achieve these, and also uncouple DNA from identity.

In Episode 128, Quinn unpacks the most delicious olive oil in the world, how it came to be, and what it means to start a food business in the age of climate change. Our guest is: Aishwarya Iyer, dreamer, doer, and eternal optimist. Ash is the founder and CEO of Brightland, the new gold standard in pantry essentials. They are proponents and advocates for authenticity and transparency in the food industry, starting with olive oil. There are something like six bajillion bottles of olive oil at your local supermarket, and that's just the extra virgin stuff. And yet, despite the options (organic, cold-pressed, etc) you'd be hard-pressed (sorry) to find pure, quality oils – ones that aren't blended, rancid, or worse.  Thankfully, you don't have to cross the Atlantic (and the Mediterranean) in order to find the good stuff. It's available right here in California. Ash has been hard at work extending olive branches (you're welcome) to local family farms, getting them to buy into the mission and the message. Brightland is also branching out into sweet and sour territory with truly addictive honey and vinegar offerings. Making a difference often means shopping responsibly. It's wonderful having one more option when it comes to it. Today's episode is brought to you by Avocado Green Brands, where sustainability comes first.

His guest is Christopher Mims, a journalist for the Wall Street Journal, who's spent a career asking big questions about the most pressing technological and societal issues we face, from robot trains to the future of batteries, brain implants, and whatever happens to land in-between. The thesis: every little bit counts, and it's more predictable than you think. Or is it? Together, Quinn and Chris explore the team dynamics of innovation, the “great man” question, the invisible force behind Moore's Law, and more.  The bad news: Nobody gets to save the world.

In Episode 126, Quinn meets his newsletter heroes: Kim Zou & Sophie Purdom, co-founders of the independent media outlet Climate Tech VC. Kim works with Energy Impact Partners, a venture capital firm investing in climate technology. Sophie works as an investor in early stage climate technology businesses.  Together they write Climate Tech VC, the data-obsessed, essential take on the opportunities, deals, and news in the flourishing climate tech scene. There is a massive cost that comes with transitioning every single existing building and vehicle, not to mention all of our power and infrastructure to green tech. While it's arguably the biggest challenge of our time, it is also quite possibly the biggest market opportunity ever.  Kim and Sophie discuss the sustainability of volunteer advocacy for these important endeavors, and managing the currency of free time as this work becomes people's second jobs--without the pay.  They also outline the action steps you can take, whether an investor, journalist, or a student looking to make the leap into the climate tech space -- because (so fun) it's now or never!

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Mindful Living with Dr. Cecilia Lopez. This is Zy, hello! For today's episode, Dr. L gives you a quick overview of what is called the “Pickle Jar Theory”. More commonly known as Stephen Covey's Time Management Matrix, this technique helps you with time and stress management by helping identify and prioritize different tasks. The matrix is a box divided into four quadrants, which each represents a different way your time is organized based on urgency and importance. Dr. L also teaches this by using the examples of golf balls, marbles, sand, and water. The four quadrants are:
 1. [Golf Balls] Urgent and Important (to me) 2. [Marbles] Not Urgent yet Important 3. [Sand] Urgent but Not Important (to me) 4. [Water] Not Urgent and Not Important We hope you learn a thing or two and find this episode helpful! I know when I was working with her and she gave a lesson on this, I found it very useful.

In Episode 125, Quinn asks: How can venture capital offer solutions to two of the biggest problems of our time? His guests are Vida Asiegbu and Anthony Oni, two incredible climate venture capitalists with Elevate Future Fund. Vida Asiegbu is a Principal within the Elevate Future Fund, working to make sure that the companies and organizations that they represent within their portfolio meet all of their goals and values. Anthony Oni is the Managing Partner of the Elevate Future Fund, part of Energy Impact Partners, focused on creating a transition into clean energy through investments – while also building a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable future. Together, Vida and Anthony ask (and answer): How do we build new systems that help and support all people, as we face this incredible crisis (and opportunity)?  How do we approach the obligation we have to help others? How do we address the very personal – and very local – effects of climate change?  And how the hell do we find and invest in companies that are moving the needle in both directions?

In Episode 124, Quinn interviews Dr. Elizabeth Ruzzo, a brilliant human geneticist who left the world of academia to launch adyn, her effort to help women find the best birth control for their unique bodies. Family planning affects everybody – whether they use it themselves or not. With 200 forms of birth control to choose from, you'd think women would be able to easily find an option that didn't make them feel like hot trash garbage -- but you'd be wrong. In 2021, genetic testing means we can make this process much, much, much easier. Enter adyn. Family planning is (wait for it) more or less ignored by medical research, but adyn's goal is to address that disparity head on and usher in a new age where women don't have to experiment with 43 different forms of birth control until they (maybe) find one that doesn't cause side-effects ranging from depression to blood clots and worse.  Listen in as Elizabeth describes a world where a simple and private genetic test shared with adyn can lead to a medicine that gets the job done but doesn't ruin your day, every day.

We're bringing back one of our all-time most popular conversations, and not just because it kicks ass. When this interview was recorded back in 2018, Dr. Sian Proctor was almost an astronaut. Now, in 2021, Dr. Proctor has just returned to Earth after becoming the first black, female pilot of a spacecraft. Let's reflect back on her incredible story and it will become clear how this amazing achievement came to be. In Episode 42, Quinn & Brian ask: What happens when you're almost an astronaut... and what comes next? Our guest is Dr. Sian Proctor, an explorer, scientist, full-time professor, STEM communicator, and almost an astronaut. Today she joins the show to tell us how we can all help get more women and more people of color into space, one way or another. If you didn't know – and we weren't sure – being a white, male military pilot isn't the only way to get to space! You can be exposed to radiation and get superpowers, become an (evil?) genius who starts their own electric car and space flight companies or become a college-educated engineer, biologist, physical scientist, computer scientist, or mathematician. So we're still out, but that's still a pretty wide range of qualifications. Dr. Proctor was so much fun to talk to and so inspirational, and this episode will serve as the booster shot you need to not give up on your dreams (even if your dream is to be the best anti-vaxxer out there because, like most vaccines, it's completely safe for you and your children). It's basically like watching The Greatest Showman over and over and over again, but it only takes about an hour, and with less singing.

I'm very excited to share an awesome show with you today, from the fine folks at PBS! God, I love PBS.  The show is called “NOVA Now” and I'm a longtime huge fan. This episode is near and dear to the moment we're in.  As the Western U.S. faces increasingly dry conditions, the show takes a look at the technologies and practices being developed to cope with drought — especially in vulnerable communities. Folks: 93% of land in seven Western states is affected by drought. We're transitioning into desertification.  We've talked about it, you've asked about it. But these increasingly dry conditions have widespread consequences, affecting everything from water quality to our national food supply. With the help of hydrologists on the ground and in the lab, Dr. Alok Patel digs deep — he learns about the traditional ecological knowledge of the Navajo Nation in the especially hard-hit Southwest. …and he talks with innovators applying advanced technology to agricultural practices, like drone surveillance and artificial intelligence, to cope with drought. There's some very cool stuff in here, and these practices are going to be an instrumental part of the West's coming decades. So.

Each week we kick off our conversations with the smartest people in the universe with one humble question: “Why are you vital to the survival of the species?” The responses typically range from laughter, modest denial, to audible discomfort. But when the air clears, we typically get some gems of insight that give us a glimpse at how we all have some role to play in our survival as a species. Today, we're taking a look back to highlight some of those responses and hopefully give us some hope for a better world.

All of us learned basic math in school. Addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. The times tables are one of those things we had to work long and hard on, memorizing basic facts so that the work of complex mathematics that was coming would be easier for us. It was a long term goal that was hard to see at the time, but one that served us very well. The same principle applies when it comes to the profitability of your business. The things that seem to be pressing from an immediate perspective are not always the things that bring the greatest long term result. On this episode Ryan Daniel Moran share his lessons-learned about multipliers, the things you can invest in that will compound your results. You're going to be challenged and given some very practical takeaways on this one. Do you know why many businesses plateau after an initial success? It's because something in the owner's understanding of what brings the greatest results shifts. They begin with a clear understanding that certain actions will compound over time to bring even greater results, but once success comes they back off, taking it easy, forgetting that to get the same kind of gains they've experienced so far they will have to take the same kind of bold and long-term oriented actions that brought it in the first place. Ryan is convinced that the longer you can push the return on investment into the future, the greater that return will be. You can hear how he's come to that conclusion as well as get some concrete examples of how it works in real business scenarios on this episode. Do you understand what a business multiplier is? Thinking of basic math, your business needs to be adding to the bottom line all the time. You can do that through simple addition (one client or one sale at a time) or you can do that through multiplication (putting your capital and other resources to work in ways that compound the result). On this episode Ryan teaches why a business needs to be oriented toward compounding results by applying your energy and resources to tasks that are multipliers. When you get this and are able to clearly determine that your resources are multiplier focused, you'll begin to see exponential growth in your business. You'll want to hear this one. Delayed gratification is a sign of a good multiplier. We know what it's like to struggle between the payoff of immediate gratification and the promise of a delayed gratification. Should I eat the chocolate cake now and enjoy the taste and texture immediately, or should I abstain for the sake health and fitness that will serve me well for years to come? It's not an easy choice in the moment - unless you've already made the commitment to the long term goal. On this episode Ryan Daniel Moran shows us how delayed gratification in business tends to serve as a barometer to determining whether an investment of resources or energy is serving to multiply our efforts or not. You can learn a ton from this episode, so be sure you take the time to listen. The Eisenhower Matrix can help you determine what is a good multiplier. General Dwight Eisenhower is well known for using a time management technique that classifies activities into 4 quadrants. Imagine a box divided into 4 equal parts. Moving clockwise around the box starting with the top left quadrant, the quadrants are labeled: 1 - Important and Urgent | 2 - Important but not Urgent | 3 - Not Important and Not Urgent | 4 - Not Important but Urgent. Using this graph you can identify the tasks and projects that are truly important - and a key point to notice is that the ones that fall into top right quadrant tend to be the ones that are multipliers. Find out how Ryan uses the Eisenhower Matrix for his personal decisions on this episode. Outline Of This Great Episode [0:06] Ryan's introduction to this episode about multipliers. [1:10] What is a multiplier and why you should move toward them? [4:00] Example of investing in a multiplier when it comes to hiring . [5:41] Freeing up capital by using other people's money as a multiplier. [8:55] Why your own capital should only go to new products/services. [9:48] Make it up, Make it real, Make it recur (from Dan Sullivan). [12:38] A great way to determine what is a multiplier and what is not. [16:30] Relationships as a type of multiplier. [17:17] How to determine if something will be a long term multiplier. [19:56] The reason businesses plateau. [20:00] Why delayed gratification can work for you.   Action Steps From This Episode FOR GREATER SUCCESS: Understand what is meant by investing in multipliers; things that increase your return exponentially. Get it in your head and heart. Commit yourself to pursuing them over everything else. FOR GETTING STARTED: Examine your work week and your list of top tasks. If you are spending time on things that are short term gains, reevaluate your priorities. The longer term you can push your results, the bigger those results will tend to be.
