The pressures of entrepreneurship can sometimes be too much to handle. No wonder then that small business owners often suffer with depression and anxiety. But are struggles with mental health an inevitability when you own a company? It's time to talk. In Season 2 Episode 8 of Making It Work we speak to Mayra Hernandez of Back of the Yards Coffee Co., Paul Pallas of SWISCO, Dahlia Rizk of Buckle Me Baby Coats and Nik Hawks of Paleo Treats. From daily anxiety attacks to contemplating suicide, four small business owners speak candidly about their depreciating mental health – and the steps they've taken to manage it. So does the macho myth of entrepreneurship contribute to these feelings of hopelessness? Or do small business owners suffer the same as everybody else? Tune in to find out.

There are few words that get thrown around in the world of entrepreneurship as much as 'innovation'. And while for many, it brings about thoughts of Marie Curie and George Washington Carver, for small business owners being innovative is just one more way to survive. In Season 2 Episode 4 of Making It Work we speak to Kat Samardzija of Locker Lifestyle, Casey Kelley of Blended Designs, Nik Hawks of Paleo Treats and Paul Pallas of SWISCO. From throwing things out there to "see what sticks" to staff mediation and yoga classes, all of these entrepreneurs have different approaches to innovation. The thing they all agree on? It's do or die. So what can you do to stay one step ahead of the competition? And will our entrepreneurs ever run out of ideas? Tune in to find out.

With online store builders like Shopify, it's never been easier to attract the mass market. But should you go all in with your own website or dip your toe in the water with Etsy or eBay? In Season 2 Episode 3 of Making It Work we speak to Kat Samardzija of Locker Lifestyle, Ebun Olaloye of Live Breathe Futbol, Nik Hawks of Paleo Treats and Paul Pallas of SWISCO. From creating cohesive customer journeys to handling knockoffs on marketplaces, this multigenerational set of entrepreneurs tell us what it's like running an online store – and how it's changed since the early aughts. So should you splash out on that Shopify plan or carry on at that craft fair? Tune in to find out.

Working round the clock has always been a strong symbol of entrepreneurship. But does it do you and your business any good in the long term, or is it just a fast path to burnout? In Season 2 Episode 2 of Making It Work we speak to Dahlia Rizk of Buckle Me Baby Coats, Nik Hawks of Paleo Treats, Kat Samardzija of Locker Lifestyle and Mayra Hernandez of Back of the Yards Coffee Co. From breaking up your day into 30 minute chunks to fighting fires in the early hours, four small business owners discuss how they manage their precious time and whether you can ever stop thinking about work. So should you be packing boxes until bedtime? Or is it time to axe the agenda and start putting yourself first? Tune in to find out.

We're back for a second season, and we're feeling festive. For most small businesses the period from Thanksgiving to Christmas is crucial for driving sales, but what's happening behind the scenes? In Season 2 Episode 1 of Making It Work we speak to Nik Hawks of Paleo Treats, Mayra Hernandez of Back of the Yards Coffee Co., Ebun Olaloye of Live Breathe Futbol and Kat Samardzija of Locker Lifestyle. From placing orders in August to roping in friends and family as free labor, we talk to four entrepreneurs about how they plan for the few months that can account for 80% of their sales. So should you take on the big boys on Black Friday? And, more importantly, what's the deal with pumpkin spice lattes? Tune in to find out.

How To Live Off The Beaten Path, Add Play To Your Career, And Achieve Massive Success Are you someone who is driven but often taking the lesser-traveled road? Do you dream “out the box,” crave adventures and have a thirst for the unknown? What is stopping you from exploring the less popular but richly satisfying walks of life? In Season Two, Episode Five, Lee Selman has painted her life into a rich canvas of adventure-filled snapshots and believes you can too (if you aspire to!) Lee is the co-founder of Paleo Treats, after being a camel handler in West Africa and an expedition guide in the Sahara.  She is also an artist creating art under the name “ManRabbit.”  Lee currently runs Paleo Treats, which is the Winner Top 10 Small Businesses in the US from FedEx and also “Best Treat” from Paleo Magazine.  Listen now as Lee recounts her remarkable and impressive tales of living off the beaten path, then transitioning back to a more traditional life and later beginning her successful paleo sweets and treats business.  Tune in carefully during minutes 11-13 to hear Lee and Ashley discuss going “all in” with your significant life choices and then conversely, how to reimagine a new future after being derailed and forced to pivot your life’s path. Takeaways: -Treasure what you have and be present in your life and choices; do not move through life complacently. -Live life on your terms and effectuate to make bold choices that demonstrate your unique, soul-charging passions. -Empower yourself through learning self-defense. -Forge ahead in your business in the way that suits you best and don’t be afraid to do what others are not doing!

If Lee Selman’s not running the numbers or strategizing for Paleo Treats, she’s creating beautiful art for her other company ManRabbit. She is a successful businesswoman as one personality and, a sought after artist as another. To top it off, when she’s not making tasty paleo treats or creating a new piece of art, she practices Filipino street fighting with stick, sword, and knife -- So you don’t want to mess with her! Lee is the co-founder and co-owner of Paleo Treats, the best healthy dessert you have ever tasted. She is an adventurous spirit, and a professional camel handler by trade, and spent many years running an expedition company in West Africa in the Sahara. During our conversation, we discuss how to be a creative and entrepreneur without sacrificing one for the other. Lee is breaking the rules of traditional business and using her creative genius to grow her businesses through humor and fun while giving back to her community. We touch on how Lee manages the day to day operations at Paleo Treats with her husband Nik and the ways the two of them build on each other’s strengths to form a powerful team. Lee is inspirational in so many ways, her vision for creativity and the ability to find creative inspiration in atypical places are worth learning from.

I was able to catchup with the extremely busy and accomplished San Diego based artist & serial entrepreneur Lee Selman. To meet Lee is to know she is the epitome of a trail blazing rebel who moves to the beat of her own drum. Lee has constantly stepped out on faith and bet on herself. Building a lifestyle where she works on her own terms. In the interview we discuss selling art, business success and failures, and creating fearlessly.

After a chance meeting while coaching young athletes I stayed in touch with Eric Bostrom for two reasons. First, he had a clean energy. I know that sounds pretty damn woo-woo, but as I've gotten older I've just learned to trust my gut more when it comes to meeting people.   Eric was soft spoken but from the moment I met him there was an obvious intensity to him. That leads to the second reason: He was a champion motorcycle racer. You don't get to be a champion by being unfocused, and God knows I love the folks who can dial in focus to the white hot intensity of a thousand burning suns.   Getting on a motorcycle (for me) represents the fastest way to transition from the normal humdrum of life into an experience that puts you at mortal peril. One minute you're straddling an inert piece of metal and plastic in front of your house, the next you're in traffic, whipping along at speeds humans just weren't meant to attain, surrounded by heavy and fast beasts that basically don't notice or care whether you exist. Bloody dangerous, and open to anyone crazy enough to swing a leg over and twist the throttle.   Racing motorcycles is a few steps further, and something I've always thought far too dangerous for me.   Eric is one of those guys who raced at a bunch of levels, who chased victory hard for years because that's how he paid the bills, and who squeaked through the injury cycle of professional motorsports and out the other side with a combination of skill and luck. On that far side of competition he created a solution for the neck and back pain that had come from the crashing, dings, and dents that are a part of hurtling through space with basically no protection.   At the end of the show we talk about the Backmate, which we use at the Paleo Treats office. Not only does the thing work and provide relief, it stands as a shining example of how to ROCK a Kickstarter campaign.   You'll notice some common themes with Eric and Brian Enos. Competition forces you to get better. The more skilled you become, the better you are at listening to your environment. You don't need to try harder to go faster, you need to think better.   Enjoy the convo, and for all the show notes & links, sign up at the Deep Diver level at nikhawks.com   Cheers, NFH

  On this week's episode of The Aligned Life Podcast, we're talking with special guest Ryan Miller all about the docuseries he created, “Chasing Wild”. The series follows four young men struggling to find their way as they spend 40 days on a ranch in Colorado learning to tame wild mustangs and escape their troubled past. Ryan dives deep into the message that we can all learn from this story, which is that we all are longing for someone to understand us and accept us as we are, rather than the socially assigned person we are supposed to be.

076 | Lee Selman Goes From Business Death to Success Lee Selman is co-owner of Paleo Treats, a dessert company that sells and ships Paleo (gluten/grain/dairy free) desserts all over the world. Lee brings a wide experience base to her work at Paleo Treats.  She is a working artist under the name ManRabbit, a practitioner of the Filipino martial art of Kali, and a former camel handler for the largest camel farm in the world. Lee has an extraordinary ability to connect with people, has an eye for the unusual and compelling, and a love of adventure and exploration. Have you ever experienced a heavy NO? A NO when there’s absolutely nothing you can do anything about? It might be tough to think about but the NO’s like losing a spouse or the death of a parent. But these are some of the most devastating than any other NO you might experience. This week’s guest, Lee Selman, shares her story of losing her business partner when they were at the very prime of their business. After his death, Lee allowed her inner voice to guide her and let her resilience build so that she could create a life and business she was passionate about. After a few more failed businesses, Lee went on to create her now successful business, Paleo Treats. Lee saw a need for these healthy Paleo treats to be in Starbucks stores, which eventually led to the cease and desist letter she received. Don’t worry, she shares the full story in this episode! If you’ve ever experienced a heavy NO and you’re just not sure how to move forward then listen to Lee’s story in this MUST LISTEN episode of Success Unfiltered!

Don’t wait to give your business the solid foundation for success that it deserves--YOU! Here are a few key secrets we talked about in this episode: Michelle introduces Lee Selman. Lee takes a few moments to introduce herself. The Universe will provide us with the NO’s we need to head in the right direction, even if they feel heavy and scary in the moment, say Lee. Lee has created 10 different businesses, all of which ended in failure in some way, except for Paleo Treats. The most crushing NO that Lee experienced was when she was nearly turned down the ability to work on a camel farm, which is where she met a nomad that later became her partner in one of her businesses. You’ll have to listen to the full episode for the story, it’s so good! Losing her partner led Lee to to lose everything within the business. It ended up in arbitration, so she had to fall back on waiting tables to keep her life afloat. “I feel that these heavy NO’s work something inside of you, it's a certain resilience where you just learn to get through it.” ~ Lee Selman Lee shares a couple of stories about her other businesses that have failed. Another devastating NO for Lee had to do with her Paleo Treats company and Starbucks. Trust me, you definitely want to hear this story! Lee believes in growing her business organically and never compromising what she and her partner believe in. If you are looking to lift your spirits, Lee recommends listening to podcasts or videos with people who have found success through massive failure. Some of the toughest NO’s that Lee has had to deal with comes from investors that turned Paleo Treats down. However, looking back Lee knows that it is almost always for the best. “It's an accomplishment to stay true to your vision, stay true to your roots.” ~ Lee Selman A very prominent investor wanted to invest in Paleo Treats, but they wanted to add fillers into the core recipe. This is against what Lee and her partner believe, so they turned him down, despite how much it could have helped them grow down the line.

Ep. 323: Cheat or Treat, Let's Talk Sweets! In this episode, Stacy and Sarah are helping you prepare for America's sugar holiday, Halloween! Find out Stacy's and Sarah's strategies for empowering their kids to make good choices around trick-or-treating candy, mindset tips for navigating sugar cravings and getting back on track after overindulging, and why raw honey is such a unique and powerful natural sweetener! Click here to listen in iTunes   If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 323: Cheat or Treat, Let's Talk Sweets! (0:00) Intro (0:40) Today's topic: how to successfully navigate the sugar holiday, Halloween! Let's change the way we think about Halloween and focus on how we treat ourselves (self care) versus how we treat ourselves (sugar) to get rid of the guilt and shame mentality. This topic goes beyond just Halloween. Halloween kicks off a two month stretch of indulgent holidays! Think "I'm choosing to treat myself" versus "I'm cheating on my diet." Sugar, in small doses, doesn't have to be detrimental to your health and it can offer some benefits like social comfort and enjoyment. Paleo Treats is this week's podcast sponsor! Paleo Treats "changed Sarah's world!" They were one of the first paleo desserts on the scene. Sarah's and Stacy's favorite Paleo Treat is the Bandito. It's like a peanut butter cup -- but paleo! In addition to the Bandito, Paleo Treats has a number of delicious treats including the Cacao Now (açaí and chocolate), the Mac Attack (coconut cookie), the Mustang Bar (oatmeal cookie), the Rocket (espresso brownie), and the Brownie Bar (flourless chocolate cake). The Bandito is a great options for those seeking a low sugar option because it only has 7g of sugar from honey! Try these delicious treats for yourself: www.paleotreats.com/thepaleoview and use code PALEOVIEW for 10% off! One strategy Sarah uses to be mindful of her dessert intake is that she'll freeze cookies or sweets. Then, when a craving strikes, she must defrost the treat, which allows time for her craving to lessen or go away. Paleo Treats are great for this because they're stored frozen! (19:38) Natural Sweeteners Paleo Treats uses honey to sweeten their treats (no refined sugar!). In researching her new book about the microbiome, Sarah has discovered really cool research about honey, which separates it from any other sugar. Before we get to honey though, Blackstrap molasses is definitely on a pedestal. One tablespoon has just 42 calories, 20% of your RDA of calcium and iron, most B vitamins, and is a great source of chromium. It has more iron per calorie than steak and more calcium per calorie than cheese. But it's a very strong sweetener so it's primarily used in gingerbread flavored foods. Stacy uses blackstrap molasses in sauces or in her Asian Short Ribs recipe. It's also great in her Chewy Molasses & Ginger Cookies! Honey is non diabetogenic. For some reason that researchers are still trying to figure out, it doesn't elicit the insulin response you'd expect and doesn't seem to contribute to insulin resistance the way you'd expect. Studies show that diabetics can sweeten with honey which dysregulating their blood sugar. Honey doesn't create the same response as cane sugar or maple syrup, two sweeteners that have a very similar saccharide breakdown. Honey has incredible anti-microbial properties. Raw honey has fermentable substrate in it, which feeds our gut bacteria. It increases microbial diversities and selectively feeds probiotic stains that are very desirable. It's incredibly beneficial to the gut microbiome! So Sarah puts honey on an equally high, but different pedestal as blackstrap molasses. (24:26) Honey versus raw honey There are certain properties of honey that are lost when it's pasteurized or cooked. It has unique compounds that are similar to phytochemicals that we haven't completely characterized. There really isn't another food like honey! But when you heat things, chemical structures tend to unravel which can change their function. Raw honey is antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral. It's cardio protective, gastro protective, and can promote wound healing. If you make cookies with raw honey or put a spoonful of raw honey in a cup of tea, you're going to lose some of these properties, but it's still going to be fermentable (things the gut bacteria will eat), which still benefits your microbiome. Stacy's strategy to maximize the benefits of raw honey in hot tea is to let the tea cool to drinking temperature and then add the honey. Honey has been shown to improve IBS both with chronic constipation and chronic diarrhea. Honey is also a cough suppressant and is very soothing for the throat. (30:27) Defining what a treat is Stacy defines treats as anything outside the scope of a nutrient dense healing food, or what Mark Sisson would call "the 20%." Sarah agrees, defining treats as anything that's not adding nutritive value to her diet, for example, gluten-free burger buns, popcorn, and rice (unless it's made with broth). In her house, the most common treat foods are popcorn (once a week, maybe twice) or a sweet treat (once a week). Stacy agrees, saying her family usually has a sweet treat twice a week and they try to focus on recipes that are naturally low in sugar. One of their favorites is this Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding, which has a lot of nutrient density! If you're experiencing a craving, it's often because you need something. If you're craving sugar, it might be a sign that you need vitamin C, more sleep, some downtime (reducing stress), healthy fats, magnesium, calcium, etc. Sometimes when Stacy has a sugar craving, she eats a clementine or an orange to get a dose of vitamin C. (37:12) Approaching Halloween and making treats a choice Stacy makes an agreement with her kids that they can keep a few pieces of trick-or-treating candy and they'll exchange the rest for legos or pennies - whatever they negotiate. Then Stacy removes the "exchanged candy" from their house and brings it to share at her office. Sarah's kids love the ritual of trick-or-treating! Sarah goes through the candy with her kids and separates out the candy that will make them sick. Her kids will then pick the treats they want and amazingly, have the self control to eat them over an extended period of time (versus all in one sitting). It's important to figure out what works for you treat-wise - what fulfills you and makes you happy! If you don't define a limit yourself, that's where temptation can creep in, leaving you feeling ashamed and guilty. If you overindulge, don't dwell on it. It's over and done with so don't decide to throw in the towel and eat that other bag of candy. Move forward and start fresh! If you get stuck on the "sugar rollercoaster," and have a hard time going cold turkey to reset your palette, Stacy recommends weaning yourself off sugar by upgrading your sweets to clean ingredients by making paleo cookies or eating Paleo Treats. Sarah has totally experienced the slippery slope of eating one sweet and it creating a domino effect to eat the whole bag - more than once! Mindset is very important when it comes to treats. Sarah recommends viewing treats as an indulgence and as a choice. If things start to unravel, there are foods she won't touch like gluten, dairy, or soy, but there are plenty of delicious treats that can be made with paleo ingredients that will set her up for a sugar rollercoaster. What's true of those days is that it stops being a choice and starts becoming a compulsion. One thing Sarah has found really useful when things start to unravel is that she consciously chooses to eat the treat and be very present. She makes it a real, intentional moment, savoring the flavors, the texture, and the experience. She also notices that this compulsion is a symptom of not getting enough sleep or being overly stressed and comes up with a plan for taking action to address those imbalances so the compulsions stop. Dark chocolate and sometimes fruit is Sarah's go-to for a treat when she's trying to reset her compulsions. (51:24) Alternative sweeteners Be a mindful consumer when it comes to the new, no calorie sweeteners on the market. Think through what the ingredients are and if that's what will set you up for success. Google these products, look up the ingredients and how it's made. Check the sources and read multiple articles with varying view points. There is now a conclusive study in humans that stevia can disrupt progesterone and testosterone signaling. Low calorie sweeteners, low glycemic sweeteners, and keto sweeteners all have problems. They either disrupt the gut microbiome, increase leaky gut, or mess with hormones. The body has a far greater capacity to process a moderate and occasional amount of real sugar (honey, maple sugar, cane sugar). We can process and detox those better than sugar substitutes (even plant-derived sweeteners) like stevia. If you overindulge this holiday season, eat fish, drink broth, and sleep!

Have you ever done the Paleo diet? If so, did you find it hard to create your own healthy treats to satisfy your sugar cravings? How did you do it without breaking your dietary commitments? Today's guests, Nik Hawks and Lee Selman, can attest to this struggle. They jumped on the Paleo train over a decade ago....but that was when it wasn't much of a "thing". Back then, there were no treats to buy at the store or dessert recipes to try that actually tasted great. So in 2009 they decided to create Paleo Treats (www.paleotreats.com), pre-made treats for people on the Paleo diet. Nik and Lee are certainly not new to the entrepreneur scene or taking big risks. You will enjoy hearing their amazing adventures which include a walk across the Sahara dessert by foot, several years as a Navy Seal, photojournalism in Nicaragua, and several business start-ups. Through it all, they have found that success is failing forward and have learned every step of the way. Now Paleo Treats is regarded by Fed Ex as one of the top 10 small businesses in the country and they have even been given a position on their advisory board! Paleo Treats ships direct to the consumer, buts is also located in 50 stores throughout the country. You can even find them on Amazon!

You will be steered in the right direction based off even your "no's". ~Realize that you need to stay filled up by connecting with something that brings you joy. Only then will you be able to give your best self to others! ~Trust your intuition and then take a step forward If you would like to try out some of Nik and Lee's tasty treats, head on over to their website www.paleotreats.com.

There are some folks out there who are a little scary in their pursuit of excellence; they have an intensity about them that is damn near palpable.  Randy Leavitt is one of those people. Randy is known as a climber, one of America's best.  With just a little bit of Googling you'll see just how good he is, but this podcast ain't about climbing, it's about the pursuit of excellence. When I first heard about Randy it was from Greg Crouch, another guest on the Paleo Treats podcast.  I had told Greg I was looking for more pursuers of excellence and Greg recommended Randy.  When I asked why, Greg simply said, "Four decades of world class performance."  Well, that just piqued my interest. In this show we skip past a bunch of Randy's climbing history (well covered on episode 18 of Chris Kalous' podcast, The Enormocast) and go deeper into the pursuit of excellence. Randy talks about what made climbing his first love, how got into and out of BASE jumping (went off El Capitan in 1980!), when he found kite surfing and why he waited a couple of years before he actually started doing it. Randy attributes a lot of his results to being a "delayed gratification-ist", something that most of us, including myself, need to work on developing. We got into his passion for flying and some of the surprising things he had to learn as a pilot that he feels all climbers should know, along with why he stuck with motor planes and didn't get into sailplanes. Of course I had to butt in and start yapping about paragliding, but I'd like to think I kept it to a minimum.   I took a couple of questions for this show from listeners, so you'll get to hear a bit about the Jumbo Love story, what goes through Randy's head when he's stepping into a true challenge, and of a clarification of his comparison between the best day climbing and the best day surfing. Enjoy the show!

“If you insulted Mackay you could expect to get in a fistfight.”  My good friend and author Greg Crouch comes back on the Paleo Treats podcast to discuss the story of John Mackay, one of the four Bonanza Kings who ran the massive profitable Con. Virginia mine on the Comstock Lode. Greg talks about how the digital age has transformed writing about historical events, about how writing a book actually happens, and how he developed his writing style. “I signed the contract for the book in summer of 2014, and it was published in 2018.  With 3 months to go on the contract due date and after 3 years of work, I was thinking, I don't know if I can do this!” Greg is a West Point grad, was a Ranger during the invasion of Panama, a climber putting up first ascents in Patagonia, and an incredibly well read and thoughtful human.  He's one of my go to sources when I want to understand the world because he has an uncanny memory that is the result of years and years of reading and the big W word:  Work. Within the first page of reading The Bonanza King you'll see just how much of that work Greg puts in a book.  The facts, the background, the perspective, and the connections across a wide swath of that history show the depth and breadth of sheer study he puts in to writing a book. From Mark Twain's connection to John Mackay all the way to how the Civil War was affected by gold mining in Nevada, and from the development of San Francisco to the laying down of our modern lines of communications, Greg paints an incredible picture of an absolutely remarkable story. Whether you like rags to riches, stories of hard work, engineering ingenuity, or just reading about a rippingly interesting slice of history, The Bonanza King is as good as you'll get, and with the background of this podcast, that much more enjoyable. Sit back and dig in to the show! Cheers, Nik @ PT

I spoke with Joshua Cooper Ramo in this podcast interview, partly about his latest book, The Seventh Sense and partly about his overall life and pursuit of excellence. Mr. Ramo started off as a journalist, working at Newsweek then for Time Inc back when, as he says, “it mattered who The Man of the Year was.”  He worked as both senior and as foreign editor at Time, and he wrote for them long enough ago (1997) that he wrote The Man Of the Year cover story on Andy Grove, one of the founders of Intel. From Time Inc he moved to China to pursue adventure in the world of business.  He became fluent in Chinese and fell in love with the culture. In China he worked for the former president of Goldman Sachs and eventually began working at his current company, Kissinger Associates, where he's now co-CEO. He lived in Beijing full time for a little over a decade and now splits his time between Beijing and New York.  Yes, he's a busy, pipe hittin' dude and I was super stoked to connect for this conversation. I found him through his first book, No Visible Horizon, a lovely story about his journey to aerobatic nationals as a pilot that reminded me of reading Ernest Gann's “Fate Is The Hunter”, another excellent and relatively unsung pilot book. Curious about what else he'd written, I found his third book, The Seventh Sense, which I read through with great enjoyment and then went on to read his second book, The Age of the Unthinkable.  Reading those two books gave me a look into the mind of a writer deeply immersed in international relations, intensely curious about connections in the modern age, and fascinated with networks in particular.   Both books deal with the unpredictable nature of an increasingly connected world, and as a business owner running a small enterprise in that world I found them entertaining and educational.  In fact, they forced me to re-evaluate our strategy at Paleo Treats and the way we're using our networks. In this interview we dive into the important points of a network, the difference between complex and complicated systems, what topology is and why it matters, and how emergent properties of networks are inevitable. I asked him how he curates and uses his curiosity, and he talked about his main theme in The Seventh Sense that “connection changes the nature of an object.” We do dive briefly into some flying stuff and how flying may move from unnatural to natural as you become a better pilot, but the majority of this interview deals with networks and how to understand and explore them in this incredibly connected world. Joshua talks about the importance of figuring out what tools you need in order to understand and investigate a problem.  He places the conversation in the context of historical cycles, the enduring nature of art, and the best kind of adventure you can have. Enjoy the show! Books Mentioned -No Visible Horizon -The Age of the Unthinkable -The Seventh Sense -Fate is the Hunter -China's Wings -The Rational Optimist For each podcast I do I end up writing a bunch of notes and questions.  While I don't always ask the questions, it's helpful to have them written down and reviewed before the show. Here are my notes for this interview: -You're a searcher, a seeker, and a story teller.  Tell me about that. -in Age if the Unthinkable you talk about the importance of relationships.  You seem very well connected to a number of different cohorts.  How did your learning of Chinese culture influence that?  Is there anything more important than building relationships when it comes to getting things done? (Planning to be Dan Kaminsky) -connection changes the nature of an object.  What does that mean? -how are the fourth revolution & the seventh sense tied together? -how do we cultivate the 7th sense?  -Clausewitz noted, “Many intelligence reports in war are contradictory; even more are false, and most are uncertain. . . . In short, most intelligence is false.”  How are you assessing a network accurately? -in Age of the Unthinkable you talk about the spymaster Farkash asking questions no one else asked and being amazed that Israel's actions had forced the enemy to evolve.  This evolution of both sides seems like a fundamental part of struggle.  Is anyone asking “How do we force our enemy to *devolve*?”  Examples of it working? -how many languages do you speak or you speak or understand?  Is it worth it to learn another language, or is there a universal language of networks? The standard visualization of a network is as a fish net, however, that is not what it might look like. When you talk about topology there is a deceptive notion that these things can be understood in nearly 3 dimensions. How else can someone visualize what a network might physically look like? Or does this require a new skill of four dimensional visualization? -can you talk a little about how blockchain ties together multiple networks (financial, legal, social?) -do we need to change to a network system without fallible leaders?  Our current leaders seem unable to solve problems for which there are fairly clear solutions. -how would you befriend a network?  Can you be friends with a network? -how would you addict a network?  -assessing trust in a network?  -assessing quality of expertise in the network?  use past predictions?  -let's talk about topology & networks.  As I understand it, topology basically refers to the way networks can be thought of in terms of connection time between nodes, regardless of physical distance.  If topology is 2 dimensional, is there a way to understand how a 3rd dimension would apply? -how can we find the edge of a network so we can “shake the blanket” and cause change?  Is it possible? -a group of almost successful (or even unsuccessful) people is far more powerful than a single lucky person; do networks remove the filter of luck, or offset the capriciousness of chance? -how does a small business use the seventh sense?  practical example? BACKGROUND Dad is a cardiologist being outdated/outgunned by Google search Mom is a high powered lawyer who wrote about the power of systems (specifically applied to law offices) -aerobatic pilot, No Visible Horizon -started as a journalist, a story teller in '93 at Newsweek -Time magazine in '96, hired by Walter Isaacson, the guy who wrote biographies about Steve Jobs, Ben Franklin, Albert Einstein, and Henry Kissinger -oversaw Time's digital operations while covering tech; has been pursuing this idea of tech & networks for a long time -moved to Beijing in 2002 & worked with John Thornton, former president of Goldman Sachs -from '03-until now he's worked at Kissinger Associates, where he's currently co-CEO -fluent in Mandarin (and Spanish?)   NOTES FROM OTHER INTERVIEWS HE'S DONE -how do we expand the network? -the sixth sense is a feeling for history -the seventh sense is a feeling for being enmeshed in networks -what happened in 1848?  Massive backlashes?  Industrial Revolution   IDEAS SPARKED -if I wanted to build my own network, how would I use the concepts in the book? -AI + social media posts?  to what end?  What is the goal?  Maximum engaged followers.  What is engaged?  Contributing useful content.  Can I define useful?  Content that triggers conversations or additions to the convo like pictures or video How can I let the Paleo Treats audience connect with each other and find their friends who are already in the network? What is our network strategy? And email centered around the idea of “Who can I introduce you to?” PODCASTING EQUIPMENT USED FOR THIS EPISODE  Finally, I love the technical geekery of podcasting and am psyched on spreading the word.  Here's the equipment I use to make mine: Mackie Onyx 1220i mixer ProAudioLA cables ElectroVoice RE20 Fethead inline preamp AKG K-240 headphones U-Control UCA222 splitter for Skype Avantone Mixcube Reaper DAW

195: Paleo Treats by Navy Veteran Nik Hawks Chocolate cookies, brownies -- how would you like to have some healthy, gluten-free desserts? Joe Crane shares Paleo Treats by Navy Veteran Nik Hawks. Listen to his story and learn how you too can avail of these healthy, delectable treats!    "You think about the difference in quality and the difference in price, you're basically getting a superific deal on healthy desserts." - Nik Hawks From the Navy to Entrepreneurship Nik joined the Navy in 1995. He had a great time doing the things he dreamed of. In the year 2000, he transitioned into the civilian life. When he met the woman who was to become his wife, she was sold out on entrepreneurship. He saw the possible things he could achieve if he did the same thing. And that inspired him in his journey. One Valuable Skill from the Military Nik saw that even with his well-honed skills, they were not very useful in the civilian life. The hard skills they have like shooting or jumping from an airplane do not transfer well. According to him, learning to do something easily and well is a valuable skill that most Veterans take away from their career in the military. They can step into any job and learn it easily. Paleo Treats for Crossfitters Nik started one business after another. He experienced building websites, running a T-shirt company, as well as driving around California with a mobile notary for real estate. It was in 2009 when he and his wife came across Paleo treats for crossfitters. They started that business and their products were sold out as early as 10 AM in the first day. To this day, they sell healthy desserts. Among which are brownies and chocolate bars. All are strictly made of Paleo ingredients and are also tasty.

Upon getting back into rock climbing after a 17 year hiatus, I quickly discovered Mark & Mike Anderson's contribution to training for the sport in the form of The Rock Climber's Training Manual. After reading through it I realized that these guys were demonstrating more than just an interest in training, this is total "pursuit of excellence" material.   In this episode of the Paleo Treats podcast we talk about where they learned about hard work, why climbing satisfies so many human cravings, and what stops most climbers from becoming better. This is definitely not a "sets and reps" episode; if you're looking for specific training advice, buy the book.  :)  However, if you're looking for practical examples of what works to improve anything, not just climbing, you'll find enough in here to inspire and encourage you to do the very best you can in whatever endeavor you engage in. Enjoy!

Victor Davis Hanson, author of a number of books on military and more specifically ancient Greek military history as well as farming from the agrarian hoplite perspective, joins us for this episode of the Paleo Treats podcast. Having been inspired to grow grapes from The Land Was Everything: Letters from an American Farmer to learn Attic Greek after reading Who Killed Homer: The Demise of Classical Education and the Recovery of Greek Wisdom, and think just a bit more about military history when exposed to the ideas in The Savior Generals: How Five Great Commanders Saved Wars That Were Lost - From Ancient Greece to Iraq by this guy, it was an honor to have him on the show. We cover everything from farming to soldiering to the Anabasis, public education, the delta smelt and whether or not the unemployed should be allowed to log downed timber.

Ever wondered if a 50 year old mother of two could do a man's job? Listen in as we talk with Shawn Alladio, world class PWC rider (Jetski for the uninitiated), big wave rescue specialist, and all around tough human. Shawn talks about big waves, heavy threats, and what it feels like to pull a man out of a burning car. Shawn is one of our favorite people, she doesn't pull any punches "If you're not eating Paleo Treats then you're f-ing stupid", and when she sees a problem she wades in and gets down to business. She doesn't let anything stop her and she has a way of describing the world that is at once completely foreign and yet totally matches with our own intuition. While this is one of our longer podcasts we think it's worth every minute. Go ahead, have a listen!

Long haul trucker and Paleo Treats™ ambassador Ray Tabbita joins us in a phone conversation and discusses how he manages to stay on Paleo and on the road. Ray is not just a long haul trucker who eats Paleo, he also (in his spare time) tears phone books in half, rolls up frying pans, and hammers nails through boards without a hammer. If you've ever wondered if it's possible for a "regular salt of the earth guy" to eat Paleo then Ray gives a pretty solid answer in this episode.
