“But at a purely personal level, Rondon embodied the best of both modern and old-fashioned virtues. He was intensely and genuinely patriotic, adhered to traditional codes of honor, bravery, and chivalry, and repeatedly demonstrated a moral rectitude that, enhanced a character both ascetic and abstemious, impressed those who regularly came into contact with him." Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this episode, we're picking up the conversation on our favorite Brazilian explorer, Cândido Rondon, with Into the Amazon. Rohter's book dives into the untold stories of Rondon and Roosevelt, shining a spotlight on the uncharted territories, unique challenges, and extraordinary legacies left behind in the heart of the Amazon. We cover a wide range of topics including: Rondon's unique approach to exploration Animal and plant life within the Amazon How Rondon navigated each obstacle from sickness to river crossings Technology's impact on different generations The relationship between tech and human intelligence And much more.

Though not a direct sequel, it spins off of a previous episode on The River of Doubt, and gives us more insight into the life of Cândido Rondon. (1:57) In the era of great explorers, Rondon's discoveries were often overshadowed by the Europeans. Though he is very well-respected in Brazil, his accomplishments aren't as widely known in the US. (6:18) We talk a bit about Paul Rosolie and his preservation efforts in the Amazon rainforest, as well as why the forest felt empty in terms of wildlife throughout their exploration.  (8:41) Rondon's peaceful demeanor and rationalist approach. He had a high tolerance and respect for the native tribes that he came across, and in return, they embraced him and his crew. (12:12) In addition to being an explorer, Rondon was a soldier. We also talk about Brazil's infrastructure advancements and how Rondon viewed the natives as Brazilian, whereas the Brazilian government hardly saw them as part of their people. (15:48) The friendship between Cândido Rondon and Theodore Roosevelt, and Roosevelt's profound respect for Rondon. We witness how Roosevelt's initial perception of Rondon transformed during their shared journeys, shedding light on Roosevelt's character and open-mindedness. (20:43) The rich history of Rondon's story is preserved through detailed diaries and journals kept by the explorers. The survival of these records is nothing short of miraculous when you consider the conditions they were in on their journey. (22:21) Meta's new AI features where you can talk to different personalities, based on the topics that you're interested in. (25:35) Rondon had opoprtunities to go down many paths in his life. He had developed several unique skills very early on in his childhood, yet exploring the Amazon is ultimately what he chose to pursue.  (30:48) There were several elements to Rondon that uncovered as we read Into the Amazon that we may not have realized while reading The River of Doubt. Very military-like, Rondon created order for their day and took leadership on their expedition. (35:17) We share some badass Rondon stories that stuck out to us, including how he navigated a seemingly improbable river crossing with all of the cargo of his crew.  (39:30) When times got tough and supplies ran low, Rondon always stuck to the mission.  (42:31) Deforestation and its long-term consequences. Plant life is so dense in the Amazon; if it ever gets cleared out, it'd be near impossible to bring it back to what it once was. (47:13) The effects of global shipping traffic and it's pollution into the atmosphere.  (50:32) The later years of Rondon was more of a focus in this book vs. The River of Doubt. We discuss his family life, which included a wife and 7 children. They communicated via telegrams throughout his many missions and projects where he was forced to be away from home.  (57:40) Einstein had heard so much about Rondon during his time in Brazil that he submitted a Nobel Peace Prize nomination for him without even meeting him.  (1:00:34) Your body always tells you what you need. If Rondon is sick? Just give him some pineapple!  (1:01:31) Though Rondon is framed as a tough explorer, he was also an intellectual. He documented a lot of the indigenous languages and transcribed it based on his interactions with the tribes.  (1:04:45) Tangent time: Which celebrities could potentially run for office, and who is big enough to have their names still referrenced after their passing? (1:07:39) Our thoughts on the movie Idiocracy and theories on the relationship between technology and intelligence levels. Will our generation always be the most technological competent generation?  (1:15:09) How technology has shaped generations differently, especially Gen Z and Millenials. (1:20:33) We throw it back to when we were younger, talking about different devices that were around then and how they compare to the more modern, current models.  (1:23:08) The development of Apple, and how they were able to shift so elegantly from the iPod to bigger and better devices. (1:29:01) We throw out some ideas of books to cover in future episodes. Which ones stuck out to you? Let us know! (1:40:48) That wraps up this episode!

Love Your Work
293. Carrots, Sticks, and Blinders

Love Your Work

You can't get through a project on momentum alone. But there are mechanisms you can use to tweak your motivation and make better use of what momentum you have. These motivation mechanisms aren't one-size-fits-all – you have to choose which ones work for you. Motivation requires self-mastery As I talked about on episode 291, getting through a creative project is like skateboarding through a halfpipe. You have a lot of motivation going into a project, due to your high expectations. Even if your expectations were to be met, it would still be impossible to coast through to the end of a project. There's too much friction along the way. Experienced skateboarders know how to soar out of halfpipes, because they know how to tweak their momentum. Experienced creators know how to follow through on creative projects, because they know how to tweak their motivation. But gaining this experience is a catch-22: You can't finish projects if you don't know how to tweak your motivation, and you don't know how to tweak your motivation if you haven't finished projects. You have to learn, through trial-and-error, what keeps you motivated. Finish smaller projects and build your shipping skills along the way. But it doesn't have to be guesswork. If you know what motivation mechanisms are at your disposal – and the strengths and pitfalls of those mechanisms, you can more quickly gain an understanding of your motivation. Three motivation mechanisms There are three main motivation mechanisms: carrots, sticks, and blinders. The carrot and the stick are classic motivation mechanisms that have been in the scientific literature on motivation for a long time. If you're riding a horse, there are two ways to motivate him: dangle a carrot in front of his face, or strike him in the flank with a stick. The carrot represents the promise of potential reward, the stick represents the threat of potential punishment, and what I call blinders block out distractions and keep the horse focused on the road ahead. We're attracted to rewards, and we avoid punishments. If we set up our projects so action leads to carrots and inaction leads to sticks, we'll get motivated and maintain the momentum to finish – in theory. Carrots: internal and external One way to work carrots into your projects is to have promising data. If you have market research that suggest you'll earn a lot of money if you finish the project, you might have an easier time getting motivated. Or, you might merely be so curious about the outcome of the project, that motivates you to follow through. You can also use external rewards as carrots. For example, you might promise yourself a vacation if you finish a project. On a more granular level, you might promise yourself a piece of chocolate for every 100 words you write. Sticks: internal and external One way to work sticks into your projects is to do part of a project that will result in a punishment if you don't finish the rest of the project. I called this “The Whip,” in my book, The Heart to Start. When I create a new email course, for example, I use the whip. I set up a landing page promising emails on a schedule, then send traffic to the landing page. Once I have sign-ups, I'm highly motivated to finish writing all the emails in the course, as the promised dates approach. This same tactic has worked for other people who have tried my “Explosive Email Course” formula. You can also use external punishments as sticks. You can promise to pay your friend $100 if you don't finish your project by a certain date. On a more granular level, you can punish yourself for behavior that doesn't drive your project forward. Maneesh Sethi, who I interviewed on episodes 13 and 117, created Pavlok, a wristband you can program to shock you when you do things you'd rather quit. I once used it to quit Facebook, and it was shockingly effective. Blinders: physical and mental Carrots can reward you for the behavior you want to be motivated to do, and sticks can punish you for what you don't want to be motivated to do. Blinders can keep you more focused on what you want to be motivated to do, while blocking out what you don't want to be motivated to do. Blinders can be physical, or mental. If you have a dedicated office, or space you do your work, that's a form of physical blinder. By working in that space many times, your mind has been trained to focus on work when in that space. As I talked about in Mind Management, Not Time Management, even if you don't have much space, you can set up certain cues in your environment to serve as blinders. When I was first starting on my own, in a tiny bedroom in San Francisco, I transformed that space from bedroom to office through strategic use of a room divider, aromatherapy, and lighting. Physically separating yourself from a potential source of distraction is another type of physical blinder. If you put your phone in another room, or in a lockbox with a timer, that's a blinder. By using a “grippy” instead of “slippy” tool, you're also using a blinder. There are many options of distraction-free writing devices, but I write my first drafts on an antique typewriter. Rules and schedules as mental blinders Rules and schedules can serve as mental blinders. Simply by deciding that you will or won't do something within some period of time, you focus your mind on the target behavior, while blocking out distractions. The first-hour rule is an effective blinder: Spend the first hour of your day working on your most important task. You can get a lot done in an hour, and can usually hold off any other activity for that short period of time. Mental blinders with secondary benefits You can also use mental blinders not only for the benefits of the behaviors they promote, but also for the secondary effects of those behaviors. The ten-minute hack – or setting a timer for ten minutes to focus on one task – isn't powerful so much for the work you do in those ten minutes, but for the momentum it creates. Ten minutes is an easy decoy goal that short-circuits your ego's excuse engine, but once those ten minutes are up, you usually have the momentum to keep going. On the contrary, “cheat days,” whether when dieting or reducing, say, social media intake, can let the superego take a rest, and let the id blow of steam. It can be hard or even detrimental to quit things cold-turkey, but if there's one day a week you cheat, it can make the rest of the week tolerable. Pitfalls of motivation mechanisms As you can see, there is a huge variety of motivation mechanisms you can use to keep yourself going when projects get tough. But the motivation mechanism that works for one person won't necessarily work for another. And some mechanisms are prone to particular pitfalls that others aren't. Rewards lose effectiveness First, some of the pitfalls of these mechanisms. The biggest problem with carrots is eventually you get your fill of carrots. This tends to be more of a problem when the rewards you're using are external, and not an integral part of the project. If you're, say, giving yourself a piece of chocolate for every 100 words you write, there's a good chance you won't be as motivated by the tenth piece of chocolate as you were by the first. But even when the rewards are integral to the project, you can tire of those rewards, and need to search for another source – as I talked about in my reflections on fifteen years as a creator on episode 283. Rewards can backfire Also, external carrots especially can make doing the work more about the destination – the carrot dangled in front of you – than about the journey. External rewards can actually reduce your motivation. Behavioral scientist Dan Ariely described on episode 51 that Intel lost productivity when an experimental monetary bonus was removed – relative to more integral rewards, such as verbal praise. Rewards require discipline When self-administering external carrots, you also need to be disciplined enough to dole out the reward to yourself properly. It doesn't take much imagination to see how giving yourself chocolate for every 100 words could backfire. Punishments can lose effectiveness, backfire, and require discipline Sticks can be prone to many of the same problems as carrots: The punishment may lose its effectiveness, doing the activity while motivated to avoid punishment may cause you enjoy it less, and you have to be disciplined enough to administer the punishment for it to matter. Blinders entrain behavior Blinders tend to have fewer problems than carrots or sticks. They don't use external stimuli, so there's less chance of your motivation getting misdirected. Instead, the more you use blinders, the easier the target activity tends to get. As the neuroscience saying goes, “Neurons that fire together wire together,” so each time you do the target activity, it's easier to do it again. Each time you work in your home office, you train yourself to work when in your office. When you spend the first hour of your day working on your most important project, you make it easier to do it again tomorrow. Blinders are nearly foolproof Blinders are nearly foolproof because the source of your motivation stays within the project or the activity itself – and that's the best source of motivation. So if you must use external carrots and sticks, do so sparingly. If you're relying on external rewards and punishments to motivate yourself, or if you can't find the self-discipline to administer your own blinders, that's a bad sign. You clearly don't enjoy the activities involved in completing the project, and/or completing the project isn't meaningful enough to you to be a source of motivation. Be an expert on your personal motivation mechanisms There's of course a lot of research on motivation – how effective carrots, sticks, or even blinders are – but none of that matters as much as how each of these motivation mechanisms work for you, personally. A motivation mechanism, such as external rewards, may backfire in the confines of a scientific study, in a context different than your project, and averaged out amongst the study subjects, rather than on an individual basis. If you want to finish lots of creative projects, you need to become an expert on your own motivation. Be a curious observer of yourself, and how you respond to carrots and sticks, internal and external, and how well you can administer and react to your own blinders. You'll get through more projects, and each time you do, you'll learn a little more about how keep and build upon momentum to get through bigger and bigger halfpipes.

It's 1997, and Tiger Woods is in a sudden death playoff, against Tom Lehman. Lehman shoots first, on a par three, and hits his ball into the water. Now Tiger's up, and this is Tiger's tournament to lose. All he has to do is hit a safe shot, far away from the hole, and far away from the water. But that's not what he does. An aggressive and dangerous play The hole is way on the left side of the green, near the water. There's water short, and there's water left – where Tom Lehman's shot went. The smart play is just hit the ball onto the green, way right of the hole, so there's no chance it goes in the water. Then Tiger can putt twice, for par, and win the tournament. Tiger hits his shot, watches with anticipation as it flies through the air – and almost goes directly into the hole. It's eight inches away. He just won the tournament. The crowd goes wild, meanwhile, the announcers are trying to figure out why Tiger would make a play like that. Why shoot directly at the hole, when there's water all around? If he had made the slightest error, Tiger would have tied Lehman, and extended the playoff to the next hole. The announcers say, Well he's 21 years old. He's aggressive. Some of you are no doubt thinking, Why would he make a play like that? Because he's Tiger Woods, that's why. Perfection comes from imperfection I recently showed my partner a career highlights video of Tiger Woods. She had never heard of him, and had never seen golf (remember, she's Colombian). By the end of the video, she was convinced Tiger Woods was a witch, who could magically conjure a ball into a hole from 200 yards away. Because that's what she saw. Over and over, this guy swinging, then a tiny ball flying through the air for several seconds, and jumping and spinning and rolling into a tiny hole. When we see an expert in any field, we marvel at what they're able to accomplish. When we compare our own skills, we can't help but feel insignificant. But sometimes, what seems like perfection is someone not striving for perfection, but instead working cleverly with their imperfections. Several years after this playoff, where Tiger Woods made this bold play. He re-lived it in his book. He explained that he was very much aware all he had to do was hit the green – to play safely away from the water. In fact, that's exactly what he did. When you're missing right, aim left Yes, Tiger's ball almost went in the hole, but that's not where he was aiming. Besides knowing the smart strategy in this playoff situation, Tiger had noticed something during his warm-up before the playoff: His shots tended to go left. Like Tom Lehman, Tiger had pulled his ball to the left, but because Tiger was aiming to the right, he almost had a hole-in-one. This is hard to process for many who don't play golf – indeed many who do play golf. How can the greatest golfer who ever lived be missing to the left? And why would the greatest golfer who ever lived aim away from the hole? When we see greatness, this is often what's happening. Tiger was missing to the left, so he aimed right. I call it “aim left,” because it's just less confusing than “aim right.” Aiming left is simply accepting you're not perfect, and shooting your shot according to your tendencies. You can use this in your creative work, in your habits, and yes – in golf. When you're missing to the right, aim left. Michelangelo aimed left When Michelangelo was hired to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling, he faced an impossible task. As if it weren't hard enough to paint 12,000 square feet of ceiling, Michelangelo wasn't a painter! He was a sculptor. He had hardly painted anything to that point. Add to that, this was fresco – which is incredibly unforgiving. You get a patch of wet plaster to paint on each day, and once it's dry, it's literally set in stone. So what did Michelangelo do? As Ross King – who I talked to on episode 99 explained, Michelangelo aimed left. He started with an inconspicuous part of the ceiling – one of the last places someone would look when entering the chapel – and one of the last places the pope would look while sitting on his throne. By starting with an inconspicuous part of the ceiling, Michelangelo was free to let his fresco-painting skills develop throughout the project. By the end of the project, he wasn't even transferring drawings to the ceiling, and was instead painting directly onto the plaster. Other greats aimed left Accomplished creators are always aiming left. They're always compensating for the weaknesses they know they have. Ernest Hemingway knew starting a writing session was always the hardest part. So, he aimed left. He made sure to end writing sessions knowing what he was going to write next. That way when he returned to his writing the next day, he'd have no trouble writing his first few words. Kingsley Amis did this, and Todd Henry, who I talked to on episode 109 has said he stops in the middle of a sentence. Edna Ferber built her dream house, complete with a writing study that had a beautiful view. After all that trouble, she decided that view was too distracting. So, she aimed left. She pushed her desk against the only blank wall in her study, so the view couldn't distract her. Somerset Maugham also faced a blank wall, and I did it a while myself. Benjamin Franklin wanted to improve his character, but couldn't focus on everything he wanted to work on at once. So, he aimed left. He kept a schedule of his “thirteen virtues.” Each week, he tried to improve at only one of those virtues – things like cleanliness, frugality, and humility. By focusing on only one virtue at a time – and forgetting the rest – Franklin improved his character in all thirteen virtues. Ways of aiming left To aim left, take anything where you consistently miss, and compensate for that miss. In The Heart to Start, I talked about “The Fortress Fallacy.” We tend to have visions that outsize our current skill level. Over and over, we start ambitious projects, but fail to follow through once we realize how daunting they are. To aim left, go ahead and dream of the fortress, but first, build a cottage – a smaller project that builds the same skills you'll use in the larger project. I also talked about “Motivational Judo,” which is a form of aiming left. If you struggle to get motivated, create conditions that use your own action-avoidance tactics against themselves. Pavlok founder Maneesh Sethi built a wristband to shock himself. Sociologist Harriet Martineau knew she only needed to suffer through the first fifteen minutes of writing, and she'd have the momentum to keep going. This is similar to the Ten-Minute Hack I also talked about in The Heart to Start. In the previous episode, I talked about a way to cure Shiny Object Syndrome by aiming left. If you know you jump from unfinished project to unfinished project, treat shipping as a skill. Turn everyday things like meals and day-trips into “projects.” Make plans and execute – ship the projects. Many opportunities to aim left Look around, and you'll find many opportunities to aim left. Anywhere you aren't achieving what you want, you can find a way to direct your imperfection toward perfection. Or, at least, near-perfection – eight inches away, to be exact.

Maneesh Sethi is the mad scientist behind Pavlok- a wearable that retrains your brain.  He’s worked with major influencers like Tim Ferris, he’s a famous DJ in Berlin, and he’s even hosted a TV pilot on the Travel Channel.  Is there anything that this guy can’t do?   The Pavlok wristband was invented after Sethi stumbled upon a pamphlet of a 60’s aversion research. Sethi had severe ADHD and couldn’t focus or complete a single task or project without losing concentration. After landing the study reports, Sethi paid someone to hit him every time he strayed from the work at hand. This method proved useful and led to the invention of the first Pavlok prototype. It's just grown from there.  Today's podcast partner is CogniBiotics, the breakthrough mood-enhancing formula made by BiOptimizers.

Justin and Frank commiserate over the challenge of working with Bluetooth and the beauty of the Nerves community in pushing innovation. We chat more about Nerves, including how you can extend the functionality of file systems, before Justin and Frank unpack their roadmap for Nerves’s future. Tune in to learn more about the Nerves Project, a system that can add a great deal of agility to any development cycle. Key Points From This Episode: Introducing our guests and this episode’s focus on the Japanese Elixir community. The double-edge of broadcasting your excitement about Elixir projects. Looking at FarmBot as a practical use-case to show off what Nerve can do. Differences between soft and hard real-time using FarmBot as an example. What Nerves excels at; acting as a gateway for other processors. Justin and Frank share the projects that they’ve built using Nerves. A brief digression where Justin shares his love of Chinese Sichuan cooking. What other markets are making use of Nerves in their product cycle. The unique ‘middle-ground’ of complexity that Nerves is best suited to address. Porting Nerves to different devices and what devices need to run Nerves. Open-source versus making work public and how Justin took some of his Bluetooth work public. The challenges of working with Bluetooth. Hear how a group in the community is making a Nerves keyboard. How you can extend the functionality of a file system on Nerves. Nerves’s features that make it such an excellent tool within a production environment. When deploying with Nerves Hub, learn how to configure Wi-Fi modules with different devices. Starting with a facelift, Frank and Justin share their roadmap for Nerves’s future.

Our only real suggestion is that if you are going to buy it for someone else for Christmas that you get the two pack and keep one yourself. Nobody wants to get a shock bracelet for Christmas unless their best friend or spouse is getting shocked too. We all know that guy (or girl!) that breaks up with their significant other right before Christmas just because they don't want to buy a gift right?

On creating successful habit change, Maneesh has this to say, “To make a habit change, there’s only one variable which matters and that’s consistency, it’s number of days in a row in which you do a behavior.”

Craig is in the WGAN Morning News with Ken and Matt. This morning we talked about Deep Fake technology and what could happen in the future.  We discussed a new technological type of aversion therapy for breaking bad habits and we talked about Google search and article theft and what Congress is doing.   These and more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com   --- Related Articles: The Problem With Deep Fakes Shock Away Those Bad Habits First Amendment Under Surprise Attack --- Transcript: Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors. Airing date: 06/26/2019 Deep Fakes, Aversion Therapy and Fair Use --- Craig Peterson Hey, Good Morning, everybody. Craig Peterson, here. It is getting close to July. And coming up probably about the second week of July, I'm going to be doing a little bit of an online summer course we're calling it our security summer. It will be free for anyone who wants to attend. I'm trying to do this for the people who, who can't afford to hire me and I get it. There's a lot of people out there. But it's this. It is going to be mostly a business course.  Yesterday, when I was speaking to a CEO mastermind group, there were a lot more in attendance than I had thought there would be and it went very, very well. Although it did not surprise me that they weren't entirely aware of all of the risks and what's going on. In retrospect, as I think about it, I probably should have put more positive stuff in the presentation. I tried to stress how they could lose their entire business due to their lack of awareness. Many of these are small to medium private companies, and that means it's their retirement, it's their money that's on the line. I tried to stress that they can no longer continue to coast. Anyways, this summer, we're going to teach you the things you need to know the things you need to do and how to do them. So keep an eye out for that. There's a sign up now, on my homepage at Craig Peterson dot com at the very top, you can sign up to get on my email list, you'll get my weekly show notes, and whenever anything really, bad is happening, you'll find out about it as well by email. You will also find out when I'm offering these free courses, or some of the paid ones as well, I'll let you know, believe me, I'm not hounding you.  You know, some of these internet marketers are sending an email every day forever, you know, I might send you an email every day when there's something big going on. But other than that, it just doesn't happen. It's usually a weekly email and may average out to maybe two a week if something big is happening. But hopefully, you will find my emails informative. It's not the sort of thing you can get from your smart uncle. So we are going to go now to our friends over at WGAN and, and talk a little bit with them. And we're going to talk about Google and newspapers, the big fight that's coming up, aversion therapy, and the deep fake problem is hitting Hollywood and where does this lead us ultimately, so here we go. Matt Gagnon And we're back 738 WGAN and Morning News with Craig Peterson. He is our tech guru and joins us now as he always does on Wednesdays at this time to go over the world of technology. Craig Peterson. How are you this morning, sir? Craig Peterson A good morning.  I am doing well, Matt. I like this weather. I'm not an 80s 90s kind of guy. I love it in the 70s a beautiful, dry, day. That's my idea. Matt Gagnon  I get the 80s and 90s as well, Craig.  I love the 90s and hundreds I love it when it's 100 degrees. Ken Altshuler That's because you guys weren't born raised in Oklahoma, which is why Matt Gagnon Oh, it's a dry heat. Ken Altshuler It's not a dry heat. Craig Peterson  It's crazy and not a dry heat. No, no, no, no. They get a lot of humidity. And it gets frigid in the winter. It does. Ken Altshuler Yeah. And by the way, Craig it has it's been 80 degrees, like twice. Where do they get humidity? Well, some irrigation, but also the Gulf? Yes, it does.  Craig Peterson I remember I lived in pretty much northern Canada for a lot of my life. And we would get the warm, humid air would come up from the south, you know, those American clippers? Matt Gagnon Canada, the Arctic?  Craig Peterson Well, yeah, I won't go quite that far. I was about halfway up to the Arctic Circle. So I remember days when the high was 30 below zero, and I was walking to school. If you Matt Gagnon   Don't mind me asking, but why would anybody live there on purpose? Craig Peterson Well, it's not that bad, you get used to it. I guess it's not that I would rather have it be cold than hot. When it's cold, you can always put on another layer of clothes, Matt Gagnon Lots of clothing that you have to put on when the high was minus 30. Craig Peterson  Well, I had a parka. I'd wear the parka. It had a hood on your head. It goes in front of your face, and it goes out to a little tube that's maybe about six inches wide that you kind of look through and breathe out of so that you don't get frostbite on your face or your nose or anything. Matt Gagnon What a fantastic way to live, Craig. Craig Peterson In the summer, we'd get to 75 degrees, and it'd be just absolutely beautiful. You go to the Calgary Stampede, Matt Gagnon Which I did too, by the way. Craig Peterson  Yeah, I haven't been there since the 70 something I've been there since the 70s. But yeah, it's, you know, it's different. And I've been watching this Ice Plane show where they fly these old DC three and four planes from World War Two. They're flying around up there in the Canadian Arctic. It brought back memories, and I thought you know, it isn't so bad. It's a problem. Maybe what happens can is you kind of get gas-lit you don't know any better. Matt Gagnon By the way, why are deep fakes not a laughing matter? I'm curious. Craig Peterson Here's what's been going on you guys. I think even talked about that Nancy Pelosi video right? Where she was slurring her speech, and go, you know, drunk and everything a little different, though. That's not it. That's da that was a manipulated video where they slowed her down and cut it a little bit. But actually, it's a fake. Yeah, exactly. So a lot of people have heard about that one. Well, there's a few more that are out there. Right now. You've got one with our friend Mark Zuckerberg saying whoever controls the data controls the future. Right? That one's a real deep fake because they modeled a face on to him and and and like made it into, like, what a deep fake is.  Matt Gagnon It's like basically taking an actor and having you map their facial stuff to somebody else speaking and using porn quite a bit. Craig Peterson So I have no first-hand knowledge. Yeah, well, that's Photoshop, you know, most of the time, where and people are familiar with this, right? You'll take a picture, and you manipulate it. And some of these models out there say no, I don't want you to do fake me, you know, because it makes women feel inadequate. And yeah, I get that. And also the You see, all of a sudden, wait a minute, they have dimples on their legs, and maybe they're Pfizer a little sicker than you thought they were. So we've had those for a while. No, Ken Altshuler No, no, I hate to disagree with you on that one, Craig. But what he's referring to is the deep fake thing in pornography. Like they're putting like Taylor Swift on regular porn, a porn actress. And I've seen this and making it into the because these facial mapping technologies come so far now that and it's so cheap.  Craig Peterson Absolutely. Well, I'm glad you guys are well familiar with porn. I've only seen them in pictures for models. Now you can go online to YouTube. And you can see Game of Thrones actor who played, of course, Jon Snow, his name's Kevin Harrington, on there apologizing about all of these problems and mistakes in season eight of Game of Thrones. What they're doing is what Matt was saying. They take my mapping of your face and the mapping. Simple, right? It isn't like Lord of the Rings, where they had golf balls all over the guy that was playing that character Golem. Then they had to computers and spent over 100 million dollars spent in the development of the software over to make Gollum on screen. What we're talking about is what you can do right now today with some free software and do it on just a regular computer. And basically, you can make anyone say anything? I think that might be what's happening with some of those supposed tweets that are coming from our president? Matt Gagnon   Do you think they might? Ken Altshuler I would say not because he's known to say things like that. Craig Peterson Here's the problem now, right? If he's known to say things like that, and you can't trust this technology anymore, and we have deep fakes and let's say President Trump is saying things like the bombs are going to start dropping in 15 minutes, which is basically what President Ronald Reagan said years ago. How is someone like Iran going to know whether or not this is a deep fake? And there's been a lot of work going on on this because it has become such a problem on the government on the military side, and they're spending money now to try and figure out how they can tell us deep fake. We've got people in universities right now, doing just that. In one university, they created a couple of neural networks. In other words, artificial intelligence machines, they had one machine making deep fakes. And they had another machine analyzing them to see if something was a deep fake.  They were sharing back and forth. They got good at making deep fakes, where you want your video, and it, you can even change the head movement and everything else in the video, it isn't just like stick a head on top of an actress of Taylor Swift face on top of an actress. They can now manipulate what they're doing where the moving and make it look exactly like that person unless you look very closely, you can't tell. And when I say closely I mean, you can go in and examine it pixel by pixel. So we've got some potential problems here. We could have Russia, China, North Korea, Zimbabwe, go ahead and create a deep fake of our president or someone else threatening war. And this, this could get very dangerous very quickly. Matt Gagnon  We're talking to Craig Peterson, our tech guru, who joins us now as he always does on Wednesdays to discuss the world of technology.  So, Craig, I have a nasty Mountain Dew habit, if I wanted to kick my Mountain Dew habit, should I be shocking myself as though I'm in some medieval shock therapy? Is this Pavlovian to the extreme? What is this idea that, that I've heard about where you would shock yourself into the kicking horrible habits? Craig Peterson Well, this is about the Pavlock bracelet. We've known about aversion therapy for a long time, and I've used it myself. Have you ever taken a rubber band, put it on your wrist when you're trying to break a habit? You snap it when tempted, or a particular thought comes around? Whether its food or your mountain dew? Do you guys have bad habits? Ken Altshuler I have no bad, I don't hate myself.  Craig Peterson It's a fairly common thing. And the idea is, you want to train your brain, that when you're thinking about having that smoke or when you're thinking about eating that food, whatever it might be, that chocolate cake, you snap yourself on the wrist using the rubber band, and it does work to a degree.  Well, there's now a company out there that has an aversion therapy bracelet. It's called pavlok. Spelled pa-v-L-ok. It has a lightning bolt button on the front of it. When you hit the lightning bolt button, and it sends a shock right into your wrist. And the idea is that every time you think about that something, or you start making a particular bad habit, whatever it might be, you shock yourself to help you change your habit. Why? Your brain is going to associate it, the action or the thought instead of associated with pleasure is going to be associated with pain, and you will do it less. It is just a theory, but aversion therapy has worked for many years in the past. For those who don't have much self-discipline, you can have your friend, your spouse installs the Pavlok app up onto their smartphone and can use it as a remote control to shock you as you're wearing the bracelet. So you know self-control? I don't know. So if your spouse can, if she gives you a Pavlok, you might not want to because she can trigger the 350-volt shock. I think it's worth shot for some. I was going to say shock. But that would be just too bad. If I was morbidly obese and I wanted to quit eating this costs 200 bucks so isn't exactly cheap. But it's probably worth doing. And I  certainly would try it. But it's kind of neat, man. I think this is a decent idea. Ken Altshuler Craig Peterson, he's our tech guru joins us every Wednesday at 738. So is Google stealing the News from the New York Times? Craig Peterson Oh, man, this thing keeps hitting the News. Because this week, what's happening is they were talking more about this. And here's what's going on the News Media Alliance is going after Google accusing them of stealing the News. If you do Google search, it'll come up, and it will give you results. And some of those results will be swiped directly from websites as well as news sites. And if you go to News, Google com, it's even worse because it's all swiped from news sites. The big question, of course, comes under fair use.  Is it fair use for Google to grab a few sentences from it, and put it up on their website. The New York Times and other news sources, which include local newspapers have said that this is wrong. And it costs them billions of dollars. Because if you add it all up, more than half of the local newspapers have gone out of business, just this look right here in Portland, look anywhere release so much of the US now do not there aren't local papers anymore. So Congress is currently involved. And there is a real bipartisan bill that has been starting to move. There's one in the house, one in the Senate, where they are trying to carve out an exemption to the antitrust laws for newspapers for four years. And the idea is that they can now collude to try and figure out what kind of a business model works. The reason for this is they don't want the local newspapers to be going out of business.  It is the whole right to free speech, which is getting squashed on every side, you look is being hurt by this lack of local newspapers. Maybe they can come up with something that would work. I know, personally, if I could pay 10 or 20 bucks a month, just like I do for streaming music, I would buy one subscription and get all of the newspapers that I want to get right. But I'm not going to pay 10 bucks to New York Times, Washington Post, and you know, all of these guys, as it would end up costing 50 to a hundred bucks a month. On top of that, I have to track all my subscriptions and everything. It's just too complicated. So we'll see what happens here. We've even got a very conservative Senator Kennedy from Louisiana, who was sponsoring this in the Senate. So we'll see where this goes. But I know I don't say this very often. But I can sympathize with a great lady in this case. Hmm, Matt Gagnon  That is a first. All right. Well, Craig Peterson happens to be our tech guru. And he joins us at this time every Wednesday to go over all the things in the world of technology. Craig, today is no exception. Thanks so much for joining the program. And we will talk to you again. Craig Peterson Next week. Gentlemen, thanks. Ken Altshuler Thanks a lot, Craig. All right, coming up at eight. Oh, Craig Peterson Hey, everybody. Thanks for listening.

Pompeo tiene que reunirse con el rey Salmán y el príncipe heredero Mohamed bin Salmán en la ciudad portuaria de Yeda, en el oeste de Arabia Saudita, antes de viajar a Emiratos Árabes Unidos, según responsables estadounidenses. Los dirigentes saudíes y emiratíes apoyan la firmeza de la administración del presidente estadounidense Donald Trump frente a Irán. EUROPA PRESS   CHINA NEGOCIA CON EEUU ANTES DEL G20.

HOY LOS ANGELES   FALLECE MINISTRO PERUANO EN MISIÓN. El ministro de Defensa peruano, José Huerta, murió este lunes a consecuencia de un infarto, cuando se encontraba desarrollando una visita de trabajo a la Amazonía peruana, informaron fuentes oficiales.   Huerta, de 71 años, era un general en retiro del Ejército Peruano (EP) que asumió la cartera de Defensa en abril de 2018, en el actual Gobierno del mandatario, Martín Vizcarra. El Ministerio de Defensa señaló que Huerta realizaba una visita al distrito de El Cenepa, provincia de Condorcanqui, en la región Amazonas, para inspeccionar un puesto de control y vigilancia territorial, cuando sufrió una descompensación.

Ya puedes comprar en Amazon la pulsera Pavlok, que te ayuda a dejar malos hábitos. Si comes demasiado, gastas mucho dinero, te muerdes las uñas, y otros malos hábitos que mucha gente tiene. La pulsera Pavlok emite una descarga de 350 voltios cuando reproduces uno de tus malos hábitos. Una descarga que no hace daño, pero sí provoca una pequeña molestia. Algo similar a cuando tenemos electricidad estática, y tocamos el pomo de una puerta. Se ha demostrado que si asociamos un dolor o un recuerdo negativo a un mal hábito, el cerebro tiende a rechazarlo. Con el tiempo, automáticamente, este mal hábito deja de interesarnos.

Maneesh is the founder of Pavlok and Shock Clock, helping people change their habits for good. In 2008, Maneesh took a two year break from studying at Stanford to travel and start hackthesystem.com, a travel blog about credit card hacking and digital nomads. In 2012, his article, “Why I Hired a Girl on Craigslist to Slap Me in the Face- And How it Quadrupled my Productivity”, went viral. In 2013, he took that idea to start a company that earned almost 8 figures in revenue over the last several years building devices that use psychology and sensory stimuli to help you change habits and wake up early. That company helped over 75,000 customers wake up in the morning, reduce cravings, quit smoking and defend against distractions, and, therefore, essentially helping people get fitter and healthier.

It goes back to when they introduced the Shock Clock into the world. Maneesh spends about half the year in Medellin, Columbia, these days, and works with a remote company team that's based far afield, including in the UK, Asia and the U.S. He talks about the influence of the book The 4-Hour Work Week on his life, his objective with his wearables, which includes a different way for people to rewire their learning habits, how he manages to live on only about $2000 a month while his company "owes" him about 100k, and how he's going to be doing Pavlok until the day he dies.

Hey everyone, welcome to the overview episode of the Launch and Scale Podcast. I'm Khierstyn Ross, and I am so excited to be officially kicking this off. For those that have been following the Crowdfunding Uncut podcast for a while, you know that I did that for the last three years where that podcast focused really heavily on how to bring physical products to market through the Kickstarter route. Over my last four years being in the trenches with creators, really bringing products to market, managing very large crowdfunding campaigns of multiple six-figures, and advising E-commerce brands on how to bring new products to market, I felt that it was time to evolve the brand. And really evolve the conversation to taking everything I've learned from the Kickstarter route, and bringing products to market successfully, and really applying that to any product launch online. Because what I've noticed is with Kickstarter launches you have one chance, really, to make a great first impression. You have one chance to position your product properly, one chance to make sure that your message is right, the pricing is right, and not only that, but that you have an intimate understanding of why your customer is going to buy this product so that you can have a great sales message, a great video and all that. What I've found is that with Kickstarter campaigns, because it is, traditionally, people have a very high failure rate on Kickstarter whereas the success rate on Kickstarter's about 37%. The big factor with that is to make sure that you not only have an audience of people ready to buy your product when you're live but the other side is making sure you have the right audience because you want to make sure you're building up the right audience of people that are actually going to resonate with your product and love your products so that they buy it on your Crowdfunding campaign when it goes live. And so because of that and because of the whole getting to know your customer and how much it builds into positioning your product properly, I find that the work that we've done and why I have such a high success rate of campaign success on Kickstarter is because we do a lot of due diligence leading up to a launch of who is your customer. Let's prove that hypothesis through Facebook marketing, let's prove that hypothesis through customer interviews through a structured beta test, which we talk about in episode two, and through different things like that to really make sure that the assumptions we make about our product and who is going to buy and why people love it, we make sure that that is market tested and proven so that when we go to spend so much time and resources launching this product that we get it right the first time. So, I've found that after working with beginner brands who were using Kickstarter for launch that first product versus an eCommerce client that maybe selling a dozen or so products on Amazon and they know want to build up their audience using Kickstarter as an addition platform, I noticed a trend in that the things we do so early stage with beginner brands to really scope who the customer is, market test demographics and make sure that they are predictably setting up the way we position our product. I realized that that in a lot of the eCommerce brands like the current ones that we approaching me didn't have that locked in. So, I thought, okay, well, I want to take this conversation more mainstream and everything that we have done with Kickstarter campaigns to make sure that we have a six-figure launch, to make sure we are positioning the product and the message we have really resonates with the person we put it in front of. I wanted to take that conversation more so that people who are looking at taking their product off of Amazon and selling on their Shopify site or building a physical product or even looking to create that round two of a product for a launch, if you're on the Kickstarter side of things, you can use this information to make sure that you are going to have an even more successful product launch. So, what we're covering in Launch and Scale Podcast is, really, how to build a strong foundation for your eCommerce physical product even if you're using Kickstarter, you're using Amazon or whatnot because ultimately there is a reason why I've had such a strong track record bringing products to market and I want to make sure that information is available to more of you guys. So, what you can expect of this podcast where Crowdfunding Uncut was heavily focused on the interview side of things, this time around it's going to be a less formal approach. So I'm looking to doing a mix of shorter episodes where it will be led by questions submitted by the audience or I'll do a 10 to 15-minute segment on answering that question. We'll be doing behind the scenes experiments. If there is a topic through an expert that I want to bring on then we will do a more long-form interview. So, the format is going to be loose, it's going to evolve with the show and evolve with feedback. What I've done is I've created the first few episodes off of questions that were emailed in from the Crowdfunding Uncut family. So we're in for a really juicy start.

My name is also impossible to spell so it's K-H-I-E-R-S-T-Y-N.com/podcast. Apart from that, if you are not familiar with my story and how the heck I got into product launches, this is where I'm going to talk about that. So, about four and a half years ago, I went to a networking event and I had a little bit of experience online and I ran into this founder of this quirky product that he eventually sold me on it and he got the idea, because we were talking about Matt Ward from Art of the Kickstart before he sold it to Aventis with Roy [Morjan 00:06:47], and a few days later, Adam came back to me and he's like, "Hey, so this product, I've been thinking more about it and I want to bring it to Kickstarter." And I was like, "Huh, interesting. I don't know anything about Kickstarter." And so the conversation goes back and forth, he's like, "No, no, no, I think it could be really good if we partnered up on this. You know the marketing side of things and I'm the product creator. A perfect world." I was like, "Okay, cool." So, eventually, a few weeks go by and I commit to helping him market this product. And we go and we spend about three months preparing for it, really not knowing anything of what we were doing and if what we were doing was right and we went up to this launch. And that very first launch we did on Indiegogo and it was an absolute disaster. We made every mistake in the book but at the time we didn't know that. So we pressed the launch and then nothing happened. So, over I think it was a 34-day campaign we ended up failing horribly so we set our goal at $50,000 and by the end, we only raised about $17,000. It was a disaster, to say the least. After that campaign failed we had two options. We could quit and pack up shop or we could really explore and see what we did wrong. After feedback from a few marketing professionals, we realized that it actually wasn't the product. The product was pretty good and it was most likely to sell. What was wrong was how we approached the campaign. So we used that time, about four months, to readjust and redo our marketing plan. So we realized where we went wrong was a classic mistake. On Kickstarter, you have to go in with an audience of people ready to buy so that the algorithm picks you up and shows you to more people and creates a snowball effect. So there's that. But the other thing is we completely butchered the product positioning. Here we were, two skinny people, trying to sell a weight loss product in an industry that neither of us really understood and we didn't take the time to really talk to our customer and get to make sure that the product positioning and I guess the sales pitch and the video we'd put together to make sure that it was actually in alignment with what would get people to buy and it really wasn't. So we took this feedback and we ended up going to our market, getting feedback to completely change our product positioning and building up an audience. So we did those two things really differently, really focused on that for the next three to four months and then we relaunched that product. And when we launched it, that time, the thing explodes. We end up raising just shy of $600,000 on Indiegogo for this product. And that really launched my career. I was in denial at the time because I was like, "I hate Kickstarter. I don't want to do it." But it's funny because a couple of months after that point, I was forced to do a talk in Toronto because the founder didn't want to do it and so I did the talk on the transition between how we went from a $17,000 failure to a $600,000 success. And there was the founder of my second official campaign or client in the audience, David from Tapplock. And he's like, "I really like what you did with this product. Can we talk?" And so I ended up working with Tapplock and that was my second big win where Tapplock went and raised $342,000 on Indiegogo. And then from that, I got partnered up with Maneesh Sethi of Pavlok where we launched the Shock Clock 2 and that ended up doing another $350,000. And then I eventually met Chris from Jam Stack. Again, he's one of my most talked about case studies. We did an $82,000 launch and then a $362,000 launch and it just kind of went from there. So, that's when, about three years ago, I committed to niching completely into Kickstarter Indiegogo launches and built the podcast and really here we are today. So, over the time that I've spent in the trenches in the last four years, I've had some major wins bringing physical products to market. I've been in the trenches with people and success speaks for itself and that's really my backstory. If we ever get on a call, if you're listening to this, if you want to find a little more information, happy to share but that's kind of like the Cliff Coles Notes version of what the brand was with Crowdfunding Uncut and the reason I've decided to really create this new brand Launch and Scale is because I absolutely love products that are different and unique and serve a specific purpose in the market. And I've noticed that Kickstarter is an amazing platform to give your brand momentum. So, it's been a great way to literally kickstart a couple of seven-figure brands that I've worked with and multiple other people. And so I thought my sweet spot is not only in product launches but is really helping with that early stage development of fast scale, fast growth, from zero to $5 million points of strong foundations and building an amazing product off of customer feedback, really that is what I've been doing in the field. And so I felt that in keeping the Crowdfunding Uncut podcast to be specific to Kickstarter but now we're really talking about launching and scaling profitable, eCommerce physical brands with predictably and success. So really excited. As mentioned before, episodes are crafted off of your feedback so if you have a question, a topic or you just want to say hi, the best thing to do is to send our team an email at support@khierstyn.com. So again, it's K-H-I-E-R-S-T-Y-N.com. And if you actually schedule a call with me to talk about your product, please head over to khierstyn.com/schedule. Apart from that, I am going to wrap up this intro episode and jump into the first official episode where we are handling the debate between brands or me too products.
