Episode 1732: Nick Loper outlines a practical 7-step framework to help aspiring entrepreneurs choose the right side hustle with clarity and confidence. By narrowing down ideas through filters like skill, interest, market demand, and scalability, listeners can avoid decision paralysis and pursue ventures that align with both personal and financial goals. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.sidehustlenation.com/side-hustle-idea-selection-process/ Quotes to ponder: "Every side hustle starts with an idea, but not every idea is worth starting." "I've found that some sort of decision-making framework makes the process a whole lot easier." "The more filters an idea passes through, the more confident you can be moving forward with it."

Entrepreneurship is pressure, patience, and pain—and most people aren't built for it. Before becoming one of the world's top marketing experts, GaryVee worked at his family's liquor store until he was 34, growing the business from $4 million to $60 million in annual sales. He was playing the long game, even as he loaded up cases of Dom Pérignon in his friends' BMWs. Just nine years after founding VaynerMedia, he scaled it to over 800 employees, servicing clients like PepsiCo and GE. In this episode, GaryVee delivers a masterclass in day trading attention and social media marketing, sharing how to leverage interest graph algorithms in content strategy and modern advertising.

We are moving on to the questions about paper management. You become responsible for more paper as you get older. It starts with car titles, insurance, and institution degrees. Then you graduate to information about your health, your home, and your growing family. Before you know it you may be caring for a parent or settling an estate. How do you control all the paper? Financial Binder  The Paper Solution has two steps to it. There is the great sort. You may need Sunday Baskets® to initially sort paper into according to which binder you will be placing it in. You will feel more confident knowing what paperwork you have, even though it's not in binders yet. And then there's placing all those papers in the appropriate binder. The first question was a little bit of a heavy one asking about filing personal papers for the event of your passing. It was easy to answer though, make sure you have a financial binder filled out. I created the Financial Binder after settling my dad's estate. There were so many things I didn't know I needed and I wanted others to know when it is time for them to settle an estate.  I was stumped when asked about a loved one's social media. Anna mentioned she discovered that you can designate someone as your custodian upon death. And she's seen accounts that indicate the person has passed. Check your social media settings. Completing the binders can be a huge gift to your future self but can feel overwhelming today. Just set aside 15 to 20 minutes a day or extend your Sunday Basket® processing time. You probably need roughly 120 hours to get through all of the paper and set up your binders. A good cheat is to attend a paper retreat here at Organize 365® or at any of our certified paper organizers retreats. You can get roughly 40 hours of work completed by attending. You may find your to-do list growing as you fill in the binders. So set yourself up to complete tasks from anywhere. That's why I set it up in a basket, so it was portable. Switch your mindset to think of what you can do in the places you go so you can be the most productive in completing this gift to your future self.  This could be your plan B too for days you need to pivot. If you normally care for your child or parent and a doctor visit gets changed or your loved one is not feeling well, you could paper sort in place of those activities or at those activities. You never know how the day is going to go when caring for others. You could also be enjoying these summer days and paper sorting could be saved for rainy days. It's a small shift in mindset of when and how you can get this paper under control.  Medical Binder “How much detail should go into the medical binder?” I have found it useful to have past blood work, tests, and any letter from a doctor regarding special permissions for a prescription or procedure. I gave three situations where without my medical binder, the course of treatment would have included medicine but due to paperwork I had, the course of treatment changed. The Value of a Checklist One person wrote in saying she spends a few weeks in Mexico every summer and how could she better plan for it. Good ole checklists. You create a checklist and each summer just update the list according to any changes in growth or what you need when away from home. You can store it in the Household Operations binder until you need it, update it, and place it back in the binder till next time.

Davit Baghdasaryan, Co-Founder & CEO of Krisp, joins SlatorPod to talk about the platform's journey from a noise cancellation tool to a comprehensive voice productivity solution.Originally built to eliminate background noise during calls, Krisp has expanded into real-time accent conversion, speech translation, agent assistance, and note-taking — technologies being rapidly adopted in enterprise environments.The company's accent conversion is now deployed by tens of thousands of call center agents, significantly improving metrics like customer satisfaction and call handling time.Davit details Krisp's live AI speech translation feature which uses a multi-step pipeline of speech-to-text, text translation, and text-to-speech. The majority of use cases are in high-resource language pairs such as English, Spanish, French, and German, although Davit recognizes the importance of expanding to lower-resource languages.He shares how Krisp is also seeing increased demand in human-to-AI voice communication. AI voice agents are highly sensitive to background noise, which disrupts turn-taking and response accuracy. Krisp's noise isolation tech plays a foundational role in enabling smoother voice AI interactions, with billions of minutes processed monthly by major AI labs and startups.The CEO discusses LLMs' impact, noting how they enable advanced features like note-taking, call summaries, and real-time agent guidance. He sees Krisp as a platform combining proprietary technologies with third-party AI to serve both B2B and B2C markets.Davit advises startups to explore the vast and still underdeveloped voice AI landscape, noting the current era is ripe for innovation due to AI advancements. He highlights Krisp's roadmap priorities: expanding accent packs, refining voice translation, and building more AI Agent Assist tools focused on voice workflows.

Tech leaders promise that AI automation will usher in an age of unprecedented abundance: cheap goods, universal high income, and freedom from the drudgery of work. But even if AI delivers material prosperity, will that prosperity be shared? And what happens to human dignity if our labor and contributions become obsolete?Political philosopher Michael Sandel joins Tristan Harris to explore why the promise of AI-driven abundance could deepen inequalities and leave our society hollow. Drawing from his landmark work on justice and merit, Sandel argues that this isn't just about economics — it's about what it means to be human when our work role in society vanishes, and whether democracy can survive if productivity becomes our only goal.We've seen this story before with globalization: promises of shared prosperity that instead hollowed out the industrial heart of communities, economic inequalities, and left holes in the social fabric.

Does rest feel impossible in your busy life? Eryn Lynum joins me again for part two of our conversation about biblical rest—and how nature models it beautifully.In this episode of the Simply Convivial Podcast, we explore what God teaches us through perennials, adrenal failure, and the Israelites in the wilderness. Eryn shares how her chronic illness as a teen forced her to build rest into her life—and how Sabbath rhythms have borne fruit in her family, faith, and business ever since.You'll learn:

In this episode, I talk about why peace is the true proof of aligned productivity, how hustle culture hijacks purpose with performance, the difference between movement and momentum, reclaiming slowness as a strategy, not a weakness and more.CONNECT WITH ME…→ Instagram — @mattgottesman→ My Substack — mattgottesman.substack.com → Apparel — thenicheisyou.comRESOURCES…→ Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE→ Workshops — CLICK HERE→ Masterclass — CLICK HEREWORKSHOPS + MASTERCLASS:→ Need MORE clarity? - Here's the FREE… 6 Days to Clarity Workshop - clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play→ Write, Design, Build: Content Creator Studio & OS - Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & incomeOTHER RELATED EPISODES:If It's Not From God, It's a Distraction Apple: https://bit.ly/449KsjsSpotify: https://bit.ly/3G3tDP3

Saying “I can't” sounds controlled. Saying “I won't” sounds unstoppable. In this episode, I explore the life-changing difference between the two, teaching teens how to own their values with power and confidence, whether it's about religious standards, digital discipline, or resisting peer pressure. This episode gives teens the tools to stop sounding limited and start standing tall.

At a time when the majority are suffering from Broken Focus Syndrome, the real titans of industry and movement-makers have developed the magnificent ability to concentrate almost completely on the near-flawless execution of the few projects that will make their ethical ambitions real.They stay with their high-value targets through the storms of criticism, the attacks of vicious critics and the aching bouts of self-doubt. Much like a dog with a bone, these movement-makers have habituated (by training) the traits of resilience, persistence and the superhuman determination to finish what they start. Great leaders have built the ability to take great pain. And keep on going forever.My latest book “The Wealth Money Can't Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I'm absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

Microsoft is facing significant challenges in promoting its Copilot AI assistant within enterprises, as many employees show a preference for OpenAI's ChatGPT. This trend highlights a competitive shift in the corporate sector, where companies are increasingly recognizing the advantages of generative AI solutions. Despite Microsoft's efforts, including a notable implementation plan by Amgen Inc. for 20,000 employees, the growing strength of OpenAI suggests a changing landscape in AI adoption. The struggle to sell Copilot internally reflects broader issues of product-market fit, as users often favor consumer-grade options over sanctioned tools.The impact of AI on managed service providers (MSPs) is also noteworthy, as a recent report indicates that AI-driven platforms are beginning to replace traditional tools. This shift is expected to reduce the number of product categories from 13 to 7, leading to increased interoperability among services. While AI-powered automation can lower operational costs, it poses market challenges, particularly for MSPs that may need to pivot from troubleshooting to delivering strategic insights. The caution expressed by Kaseya's CEO underscores the importance of integrating fragmented customer data for effective AI solutions.Legal developments surrounding AI training data are reshaping the copyright landscape. A federal judge ruled in favor of Anthropic, allowing the company to train its AI models on legally purchased books without needing permission from authors, classifying this practice as fair use. However, the ruling is limited to physical books and does not absolve Anthropic from a separate trial regarding the alleged piracy of millions of books. Similarly, Meta Platforms secured a legal victory, but the court's decision does not confirm that its use of copyrighted materials qualifies as fair use, indicating a complex and evolving legal environment for AI training.The podcast also highlights ongoing disparities in the IT leadership pipeline, particularly regarding diversity. Recent data shows little change in the demographic makeup of IT leadership, with a significant majority being white and male. The challenges faced by women and people of color in securing leadership roles are exacerbated by rigid criteria in executive searches. As larger companies scale back diversity efforts, there is an opportunity for smaller firms to differentiate themselves by fostering inclusive cultures, as exemplified by OIT VoIP, which received recognition for its commitment to diversity in technology. Four things to know today 00:00 AI Reality Check: Fragmented Data, Poor UX, and Platform Consolidation Derail Enterprise and MSP Hype04:42 Fair Use but Not Free Reign: Courts Back AI Training on Books—with Major Caveats07:28 Smaller Tech Firms Like OITVOIP Show How Inclusion Can Be a Competitive Advantage10:32 Collaboration Reimagined: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Rewst Redefine the Future of Work with AI-First Tools This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://syncromsp.com/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Stewardship is an understanding that everything we have, we have been entrusted with in order to be productive. And what is productivity? It's definitely not squandering, nor is it preserving, or hoarding. Productivity is an output of effort that brings value to others. This is the work of a business owner. Taking everything you own and have, and making a profit on it by turning it into value for others. And we can do this when we have worked out the issue of authority.

Nothing fails like success. As you rise, study harder, stay humble and get better.When you feel like playing small with your gifts or going minuscule with your personal magic, just remember that someone is always watching you. And that someone is always your highest you.This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can't Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success.

I've been thinking a lot about prioritizing lately, mostly because I've been shifting the way I prioritize things in my life the last few months. My priorities desperately needed to change so that work wasn't always #1, and I wasn't always chasing an endless to-do list of busywork.Because “when you prioritize the important over the urgent, you don't just get more done, you get the right things done. And that's the difference between a busy life and a meaningful one.” - Greg McKeown.So today's quickie reveals how to break free from the cult of busyness and master the art of prioritization using productivity minimalism principles inspired by Greg McKeown best-selling book, Essentialism. We dive into why you're focusing on urgent tasks instead of important priorities, along with actionable strategies to create a more meaningful, intentional life. I break down The Law of Inverse Prioritization, which explains why the most important things in life (health, relationships, personal growth) often get neglected while urgent but meaningless tasks consume all of our time and energy.Tune in to hear:Productivity minimalism strategies for focusing on high-impact activitiesThe difference between urgent and importantTime management tricks through intentional prioritizationWork-life balance and escaping the busyness addiction cycleMy priorities in this season of life (Burnout prevention, relationships, writing and health)Time blocking techniques for non-negotiable important activities3 key questions for your prioritization and decision-making frameworkOrganizing your life around purpose and impactResources mentioned:Greg McKeown's Instagram videoGreg's book and academy on EssentialismFor advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

You know, it's not fun." – Tom [35:47] “Change the budding addiction, the passive aggressive nature with your wife and kids that is destructive in the family, your financial irresponsibility, before you have to.” – Tom Our Guest Tom Hagerty is a seasoned business strategist, speaker, and author with over 45 years of executive leadership experience across multiple industries.

Today's episode is a tale of two archetypes: the Productivity Power User who color-codes their calendar like it's a Kandinsky painting… and the Procrastinating Professor Slayer who tells himself he'll fix it tomorrow—which, incidentally, is always today when it arrives. Pete, whose relationship with task management involves quad-wielding to-do apps like a productivity warlock, faces off with Tommy, who uses his iPhone calendar like a grocery list taped to a parking meter.Together, they dismantle performative productivity (spoiler: it's emotional self-gaslighting with better fonts), unpack procrastination as an anxiety-fueled death spiral in a trench coat, and lovingly roast each other's ritualistic self-sabotage. There's a chilling tale of Franz Ferdinand, a beeper, and the exact moment the world spiraled into World War I. And if that doesn't scream “calendar hygiene matters,” then friend, you might already be scheduling your next collapse.This episode has everything: analog clock superiority, digital tool delusion, ADHD-fueled shame spirals, the dopamine hit of “not today,” and possibly the best joke ever made about lawn maintenance.

Join us for a conversation about how your can use ClickUp not just as a productivity tool, but as a central hub for collecting feedback, refining offers, and staying aligned with his audience's needs. He also explored how leaders can optimize their energy and attention to work smarter, not harder—breaking down big tasks and designing their day around natural rhythms. Systematizing feedback and aligning it with your energy cycles can create a powerful engine for innovation and consistency. You'll want to grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy this episode. 1. Leveraging ClickUp for feedback and productivity Mike discussed how he has been using ClickUp to streamline his business operations, particularly in gathering feedback from his community and audience. He explained how ClickUp's forms and project management features allow him to centralize feedback, iterate quickly on offerings like his virtual retreats, and maintain focus by having everything in one place. Watch the 5-min Systems Segment on YouTube: 2. Harnessing energy and attention Mike talked about the importance of understanding and leveraging your energy levels to be more productive. He explained how breaking down big tasks into smaller, low-energy actions can help you make progress even when you don't have a lot of motivation. Mike also discussed the concept of "attention paths" - looking at your to-do list through the lens of factors like time, resources, energy, activity type, and theme. 3. Developing principles and values Mike emphasized the need to have principles in place that help you live up to your core values. He provided the example of being a night owl but also needing to show up early for workshops to serve his community. Mike suggested that principles act as scaffolding between your values and actions, allowing you to navigate tradeoffs and stay true to what's most important. 4. Recap and next steps Mike shared information about where listeners can find his book "The Productivity Diet" and mentioned that he is working on a follow-up book called "Productiveness" that will focus more on the principles of being productive. He also discussed his plans to continue marketing "The Productivity Diet" this year and potentially release "Productiveness" in early 2024. You can get the Magnetic Systems Method (and other systems guides) to find issues before they become expensive problems.

Your brain deletes and distorts information constantly—which means most of what you think you've forgotten was never properly encoded in the first place. I've spent decades studying how memory actually works, and here's what I've discovered: the difference between people who seem to have "photographic" memories and those who struggle isn't genetics or luck. It's technique.Most memory advice focuses on tricks and shortcuts, but I'm going to show you something more fundamental. Your memory operates on three core principles that, once you understand them, will transform how you absorb and retain information. The first principle challenges everything you think you know about why you forget things. The second reveals why exaggeration and emotion aren't just helpful—they're essential for long-term retention. The third explains why trying harder to remember often makes your recall worse.I'll walk you through the exact three-minute daily routine I use to keep my memory sharp, plus the neuroassociative technique that memory champions rely on to store vast amounts of information. You'll also discover why asking the right questions while reading can triple your retention rate, and how the explanation effect can make any new information stick permanently.Your memory isn't fixed. It's trainable. And by the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to train it./ / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / /Choose your own adventure.
