You might have heard about Amazon's 6-pages document, or PRFAQ. But have you tried it yourself? And why aren't there many other successful companies who are following Amazon's direction, and use the same method, one that seems to be winning Amazon some very big bets?Our guest today on the podcast worked for Amazon as a Director of Product & Tech, and experienced the PRFAQ framework first hand. When he left Amazon he asked these same questions. Following some research, he decided to codify and bring to print the principle of the PRFAQ method, therefore making it accessible not only to Amazonians but to everyone else who would like to try it, and reap its benefits.Meet Marcelo Calbucci, Founder of PRFAQ Lab and author of the recently published The PRFAQ Framework: Adapting Amazon's Innovation Framework to Work for You. With a rich background in engineering and product management, and founding several startups, Marcelo experienced both success and failures in developing and bringing new products to market. That enforced his commitment to help others become more successful with the framework he saw working so well at Amazon.Join Matt and Moshe as we chatted with Marcelo about:His way to product management from software developmentWhat is the PRFAQ and what it is notThe structure of the frameworkWhat should go into the document, and what should definitely stay outWho owns the PRFAQ at the company, and who participates in writing it?How is the framework in the book different from what is practiced at Amazon?Why is writing such an important tool?How can, or can't, AI help us in writing a PRFAQ?The benefits of treating the PRFAQ as a productFor which projects or initiatives is it good to use the PRFAQ framework, and for which it's not needed?How can you introduce it in your company if there is no buy-in to use it?And much more!You can connect with Marcelo at:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcelocalbucci/ Website:  https://www.theprfaq.com Buy the book: https://www.theprfaq.com/buy ChatGTP PRFAQ assistant based on The PRFAQ Framework book: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-sAGxOcdKc-prfaq-official-prfaq-lab You can find the podcast's page, and connect with Matt and Moshe on Linkedin:Product for Product Podcast - linkedin.com/company/product-for-product-podcastMatt Green - linkedin.com/in/mattgreenanalytics/Moshe Mikanovsky - linkedin.com/in/mikanovsky/Note: any views mentioned in the podcast are the sole views of our hosts and guests,  and do not represent the products mentioned in any way.Please leave us a review and feedback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As we began 2025, I returned to the teachings of the Heart of Great Perfection Wisdom Sutra. In times of chaos, something in me turns toward what is most true. The Heart Sutra is one such text that invites this kind of turning.Moving through the Heart Sutra we arrive at a set of stanzas that read as a series of negations.Therefore, given emptiness, there is no form, no sensation, no perception, no formation, no consciousness; no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no sight, no sound, no smell, no taste, no touch, no object of mind; no realm of sight ... no realm of mind consciousness.There is neither ignorance nor extinction of ignorance... neither old age and death, nor extinction of old age and death; no suffering, no cause, no cessation, no path; no knowledge and no attainment.With nothing to attain, a bodhisattva relies on prajña paramita, and thus the mind is without hindrance. Without hindrance, there is no fear. Far beyond all inverted views, one realizes nirvanaIt reminds me of the first koan in the MumonkanMumonkan Case 1: Joshu's MuA practitioner asked Master Joshu, does a dog have buddha nature?Joshu said: MUMu, essentially No, NotThe kanji character is interestingly an image of a shaman dancing.The buddhist dictionary defines MU as nothingness, beyondness. This single word has been used in Zen as a breakthrough koan.When working with this koan we are instructed to throw our whole selves into Mu, or let everything become mu, the sounds in the room and outside, every thought, every sensation, Mu, mu, mu.As the first case in the Mumonkan, Mumon offers extensive commentary on this simple koan, he says:For the practice of Zen, you must pass the barrier set up by the ancient masters of Zen. To attain to marvelous enlightenment, you must cut off the mind road. If you have not passed the barrier and have not cut off the mind road, you are a phantom haunting the weeds and trees. Now just tell me, what is the barrier by the ancestors? Merely this Mu – the one barrier of our sect. So it has come to be called “the Gateless barrier of the Zen Sect.” Those who have passed the barrier are able not only to see Jôshû face to face but also to walk hand in hand with the whole descending line of ancestors and be eyebrow to eyebrow with them. You will see with the same eye that they see with, hear with the same ear that they hear with. Wouldn't it be a wonderful joy! Don't you want to pass through the barrier? Then concentrate your whole self into this Mu, making your whole body with its 360 bones and joints and 84,000 pores into a solid lump of doubt. Day and night, without ceasing, keep digging into it, but don't take it as “nothingness” or as “being” or “non-being”. It must be like a red-hot iron ball which you have gulped down and which you try to vomit but cannot. You must extinguish all delusive thoughts and beliefs which you have cherished up to the present. After a certain period of such efforts, Mu will come to fruition, and inside and out will become one naturally. You will then be like a dumb man who has had a dream. You will know it for yourself and for yourself only. Then all of a sudden, Mu will break open. It will astonish the heavens and shake the earth. It will be just as if you had snatched the great sword of General Kan: If you meet a Buddha, you will kill him. If you meet a patriarch, you will kill him. Though you may stand on the brink of life and death, you will enjoy the great freedom. In the six realms and the four modes of birth, you will live in the samadhi of innocent play.This koan reflects something about the heart of our practice, about the aspiration for liberation, about reality and deep compassion.All in this single word, MU—NOThere are times in practice when we are invited to wield the sword of MU. To practice Prajna Paramita's Great NO. What is true? What is your original face?Not this, not this, no this.To see through all conditioned phenomena, to see for ourselves what can not be taken away.We have a tendency to see and react, hear and react, perceive or misperceive and react. We make our home in a belief, a thought, a reaction, or our anger, our fear.We make conclusions based on our limited perception, and the beliefs, emotions and thoughts that moment of perception triggers.When we swing the sword of MU, we cut through all that is insubstantial, temporary, fleeting. We see through our mental fabrications, our mind's fake news, the dusty habits that constellate this sense of separation, the assumptions that we paste on top of reality.What is left when all our conditioning is seen for what it is?We return to oneness.We awaken to our true nature. We live from a love beyond belief, beyond fear.Doesn't mean these feelings, thoughts and reactions don't arise—NO is helping us see into their nature, reminding us of their temporariness, their empty-but-apparent expression.The heart sutra is helping us find true liberation from our misperceptions, and misidentifications.To practice NO in meditation is an invitation to see through the content of thought, to sink below the stories and narratives that keep us on the surface of mind and to know ourselves beyond our habits of identification with mental objects, with sounds, sensations, sights, with the body, etc.What are we when we give everything over to MU?The ancient ancestors say, we will be free in life and death. We won't be at the mercy of our fear.What kind of world is possible if we weren't living in some kind of fear reaction to fear?What kind of life is possible, if we were in touch with the freedom and love of our true nature—in any situation?I personally feel excited to find out. I wish that for us as we face the uncertainty and mystery of this unfolding political situation in the US, may this be motivation for our awakening.The sword of wisdom is in our hands. Let NO take you to what cannot be negated. Stand here, in this sacred place.* Listen to the podcast episode for a more in depth dive into the practice of Prajna Paramita's Great NO!I'm Amy Kisei.

Stories communicate truth in ways that facts and statistics cannot. They touch places in our souls that sermons cannot reach. When you open your Bible, the very first thing you find is not the Ten Commandments but a story. Even biblical instruction is often couched in a story because a story is a powerful tool for communicating truth.God knows that. He created in us a desire for story.Christian authors can leverage story to communicate truth, but sometimes, whether by mistake or on purpose, we communicate lies.In this month's episode, author and podcaster Zackary Russell and I discuss the four laws of Christian storytelling. You'll discover:What makes a story glorifying to GodHow we may inadvertently communicate lies in our storiesWhether Christian storytelling is evangelism or notThe gift of storytelling must be stewarded and taken seriously. Listen in or check out the blog version of this episode to discover four laws to govern your Christian storytelling that will ensure you glorify God and communicate truth and love to your readers.Support the Show.

If you share a pipeline goal with your sales team, then you care about the deliverability rate of your team's outbound emails. No email visibility means no meetings. This is the “silent nightmare” for marketers. You often don't even know this is happening. And the most common cause of it? It's actually an easy one to fix: you're not using the right tool. That's why 100s of marketers at companies like Mutiny are switching to Apollo.io. Apollo has every tool you need to power your entire outbound and inbound motions (yes that's right, I said inbound emails too, ask their team about it).Marketers using Apollo have seen outbound email deliverability jump from 62% to 98% after making the switch. 98%!

We have talked about losing a loved one on the podcast before but often have focused on the grief that comes afterwards and not as much on the moment of when someone first learns of that loss. This week's story covers this moment but with a twist.Jessica Ritchie has had several challenges in her life, but for her, the one that stands out is the moment a national news headline led her to genuinely believe her husband had died in a police shoot out. She had been making small changes up until that point, but the response she felt to that moment and the way that she reacted made her realise she had to make a change. It's what led her to completely overhaul her business and life and it formed the basis of her book.In this episode she shares:The time her husband was caught in enormous shooting incident and she didn't know if he was alive or notThe anxiety and stress that came from not being able to find out about her husbands safetyThe time she found her baby brother in a comatose state when she was a childThe days after her husband came home after the shootingHow traumatic experiences caused her to disconnect herself from her husband and loved ones so she wouldn't feel the pain again.Her significant personal challenges of floods, cancer diagnoses in close friends, and personal health struggles and having children when doctors said it wasn't possibleThe creation of a methodology based on mindset, authenticity, resilience, and kindness Key Quotes“I went through grief. I felt like every cell in my body changed because to me, my husband had died.”“When I was 5 I found my brother in a comatose state due to juvenile diabetes.”“So I turned it on, and there, straight up on national news was the headline, Helidon police officer, father of 2, shot and killed in the line of duty.”More about Jessicawww.transformationalbrandlab.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ritchiejessica/https://www.instagram.com/the.jessica.ritchie/ https://www.facebook.com/thejessicaritchie/You can get involved with the podcast onlineTo try out our resilience course: https://www.challengesthatchangeus.com/surviving-2-thriving-course1On facebook in our community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengesthatchangeusOr on Instagram: @challengesthatchangeusIf you want to contact the podcast, email us here: support@challengesthatchangeus.comOr check out our website: www.Challengesthatchangeus.comIf you want to find out more about what Ali does, check out her business via the website: http://www.trialtitudeperformance.com.auFor her other business you can find it through the websites: www.altitudefitnessarmidale.com.au Hosted on Acast.

After 25 years, 47 books, and at least 4 different genres, Miles Cameron (aka Christian Cameron) has seen and survived a lot in publishing. In addition to being an author, he is also a US Navy officer, trained historian, and martial artist. But when the thriller market changed and sky-high advances evaporated, Miles moved on to historical, fantasy, and even science fiction. Today, we talk about surviving the end of your writing career, and starting from scratch (but this time, on midlist hard-mode)--including specific, pragmatic advice from Miles for building brand, timing your marketing, and a few other things that under-supported authors can attempt on their own steam. And above all, the importance of loving what you do, however you do it.

Sure, being the boss' favorite has its perks. Of course, it's fun. Except when it's not. If we only feel good when the boss is gushing over us, we DON'T learn the skill of how to take care of ourselves. It's easy to feel forgotten when we aren't mentioned at faculty meeting…when she does NOT stop by to say Hi…or when she stops nominating us to her friends. The solution is NOT to work harder. You work hard enough. The solution is to become YOUR own favorite person. You won't learn this skill at your wellness trainings. You didn't learn this in med school. No one is teaching this at your center. You can learn this skill here in this week's podcast. When you have this skill, you'll feel better. Listen to this podcast TODAY and feel better TODAY. I designed it to give you INSTANT wins. When the boss gushes over the new hire at the faculty meeting, you'll know how to take care of you. When the boss doesn't stop by to check in, you'll get home faster and be glad for it. When the boss doesn't nominate you, you'll find other ways to get invited speakerships. This one skill will make your life better IN EVERY WAY. Teach this skill to your partner and kids and their lives will be upleveled too. HEAR THIS: It's a good thing that you aren't your boss favorite. Being your own favorite is WAY BETTER. Click the button below for your 3-quick steps to becoming your own favorite person.   PS.

The first time I drank ayahuasca, about 10 years ago now, I recall people talking about purging, i.e. vomiting, as a way of "getting well." At that point in time, I always equated throwing up with being sick, not "getting well!"Fast forward through the years of naturopathic medical school where I gained a deeper understanding of the self-healing human body.Since the body always moves towards health given the environment and resources at hand in a moment, the symptoms we experience, however unpleasant they might be, are indeed a sign of health, not "sickness."In med school, I also learned all about the "immune system" - many concepts constructed within the "germ theory paradigm" that I have since come to seriously question... (especially considering the infiltration of ALL medical institutions by Big Pharma)In the "post-Covid world," humans have generally become hyper-vigilant around preventing and treating (suppressing) common and universal symptoms like runny nose, cough, sneeze, etc.Fortunately, some humans have also started to wake up to their responsibility to create health - and also started to question the "germ theory" narrative that permeates society.In this episode, Dr. Ben discusses the modern phenomenon of being acutely "ill" with the common cold or flu-like symptoms and how our tendency to express these symptoms are not invariably a sign of ill health.Detoxification is a normal and natural human process, even in a pure and pristine world. In the state of our polluted reality today, an overwhelming intake of toxicity coupled with nutritional deficiency (as well as physical inactivity, poor sleep, high stress, etc) creates the perfect scenario for an overburdened body to express chronic symptoms.Highlights from the EpisodeQuestioning "germ theory" and why invisible particles can't make us sickHow understanding "terrain theory" helps to explain the reality in which we live where some get "sick" and others do notThe overlap between the "immune system" and detoxification processesWhy getting sick (even with extreme symptoms) is a healthy sign of vitalityThe life changing and culture transforming potential of  understanding our innate self-healing potentialLinks to some more good stuff- Get the Alter Health weekly WFPB Meal Guides: https://www.alter.health/meal-guides- Cleanse with Us during the next Alter Health Cleanse: https://www.alter.health/cleanse- Work with us in the Thrive on Plants program: https://www.alter.health/thrive-on-plants

In this episode, we're talking about negative thinking and how to help kids who are more “glass half empty” thinkers shift their mindset. My guest is the woman who literally wrote the book on the subject, psychologist Dr. Tamar Chansky, author of Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking.Tamar and I talked about what negative thinking is, whether it is possible to change, how to respond when our child is venting their unhappiness or negative thoughts to us, and Tamar's four steps to combating negative thinking. There's a good chance that we as the parents and caregivers and adults in the room have our own work to do when it comes to hyperfocusing or dwelling on negative thoughts, so we explore that as well. Honestly, I've listened to this episode 3 times already – once recording it, and two more times before releasing it because it's packed with so many nuggets that I personally need to hear right now. I hope it lands for you the same way.  About Dr. Tamar ChanskyDr. Tamar Chansky, is a psychologist and a writer on a mission to teach kids, adults, and couples how to make the mind a safer place to live by changing their relationship to anxiety one thought at a time. In 1999. Tamar founded Children's and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety in Plymouth Meeting, PA.  In addition to the book we're talking about today, Tamar is the author of Freeing Your Child from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Freeing Your Child from Anxiety, and Freeing Yourself from Anxiety. Things you'll learn from this episodeWhether or not neurodivergent kids are more prone to negative thinking than neurotypical kidsWhat the definition of negative thinking isWhether it's possible for a child whose default mode is “glass half-empty” thinking to become more optimisticWhat the negative patterns are that we are trying to disrupt when working on negative thinking with our kidsWhether venting is something that encourages negative thinking or notThe four steps to combat negative thinkingHow to navigate the balance of protecting children from adversity and exposing them to the nature of the world around us Resources mentioned:Dr. Tamar Chansky's websiteFreeing Your Child from Negative Thinking: Powerful, Practical Strategies to Build a Lifetime of Resilience, Flexibility, and Happiness by Dr. Tamar ChanskyFreeing Yourself from Anxiety: Practical Strategies to Overcome Fears, Worries, and Phobias and Be Prepared for Life--from Toddlers to Teens by Dr. Tamar ChanskyFreeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Powerful, Practical Program for Parents of Children and Adolescents by Dr. Tamar  ChanskyChildren's and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety in Plymouth Meeting, PAWorrywisekids.orgSupport the showConnect with Tilt Parenting Visit Tilt Parenting Take the free 7-Day Challenge Read a chapter of Differently Wired Follow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram
