Show Transcript: Welcome back to the Property Side Hustle Podcast, the show where we dive into various property strategies and we talk property, business and everything in between. I'm your host, Paul, and today we're discussing: How to Find Overseas Investors Who Want to Invest in The UK Property Market So, if you're a property sourcer looking to find investors or you're an investor looking for joint venture partners, this episode could be a game-changer. If you're listening to this as a podcast, then you can now visit our YouTube channel and watch along and get the visual side of things. https://bit.ly/paulpropertyonyoutube    I had a video call with Simon yesterday, Simon's one of the guys on our mentoring program, (Property Basecamp) and I thought, what we chatted about would make for a great podcast…   So, todays episode is thanks to Simon, and the rather wide-ranging chat we had yesterday afternoon, when I was talking him through how he could break into the overseas investor market and onboard foreign investors to source for and potentially do JVs with. Specifically for this podcast we're going to focus on Asia, but you can apply the same method with any location you like.  In Hong Kong as an example, many investors over there see the UK as a prime investment opportunity, and they have done for a long time. So today, I'm going to show you how to find these investors who are hungry and looking to invest in the UK! Investing from overseas isn't straight-forwards. There are obvious potential problems. That's where you come in... By positioning yourself as the problem solver, and a route to them investing in the UK. You can unlock the key to selling deals and finding JV partners…. And that's how I got started, my first few deals all involved overseas investors in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. In fact, I'd say you could easily just focus on overseas investors and be very busy without worrying about UK based investors at all.   Step 1: Create a Compelling Investor Guide Your first step to finding these investors is to create a professional PDF guide so imagine a ‘how to invest in the UK guide' That guide is going to speak to your ideal client you're looking to find. You can use www.canva.com is an excellent tool for this.  Keep your guide small – two to four pages long – and focus on the key pain points these investors will face when trying to invest in property in the UK.  Think about language barriers, legal differences, tax implications, and a lack of market knowledge and area knowledge, they may struggle with finding finance, and setting up bank accounts as well as not having build-teams.  Address these problems head-on, by dressing yourself up as the one-stop shop solution. Then, finish up your guide with a clear call to action.  Something like, "We can help you navigate the entire UK investment process, leveraging our established power team, connections, and in-depth market knowledge." The call-to-action part of your guide should be a mix of things… sending you an email, messaging you via WhatsApp or booking in a call with you. Not everybody wants to jump on a call, so be flexible with offering different contact options. Using various contact options gives you a better chance at converting them into leads too.   Check out the Knight Knox Guide as inspiration here: https://knightknox.com/investing-in-uk-property-from-abroad/investing-in-uk-property-from-hong-kong/ Step 2: Connect on LinkedIn LinkedIn is THE place for connecting with potential investors ANYWHERE but let's focus on Hong Kong as our example. You'll need to search for property investors and use the location filter to choose Hong Kong or your desired location. Identify and connect with investors in.  Then once connected, send a brief, personalised message. Thank them for connecting and offer your free PDF guide. For example, you could say something like:  "Thanks for accepting my connection request. I've put together this free guide on investing in UK property, which I think you'll find very interesting.  Happy to chat if you have any questions." Short and sweet and non salesy is what you want. Don't go sending huge messages explaining all about you and your services and how you're amazing at what you do. Keep the message very simple and straight to the point.   Step 3: Consistent Content Now, the real power of this strategy lies in being consistent and creating very niched down and relevant content. You will need to post regularly on your LinkedIn profile addressing the specific pain points of your ideal client avatar (overseas investors.)  Reiterate their problems and the solutions discussed in your guide. The more you demonstrate your understanding of their needs, the more you'll position yourself as the answer.  This isn't a one-and-done thing. Repetition is crucial. Every piece of content should reinforce your message and build trust.  As for how much you should post, there's a framework that works well… So, create three pieces of content offering value, then every fourth piece of content is a call-to-action piece.  Step 4: Follow Up and Engage Your final step in the process is to nurture any leads you create. Deal with any questions you get in your inbox quickly and professionally. But don't just wait for people to contact you. 1 week after sending your guide, reach out to those who haven't responded. A simple, "I hope you found the guide useful. Did you have any questions?" can be a great conversation starter. Step 5: Tap into Overseas Online Communities Another amazing thing you could consider is to find a way into the online communities where your target investors hang out.  Think about employing a V.A. who is a native speaker, who can join relevant online groups for property investors and act on your behalf.  They can introduce your services and offer your free PDF guide to help start conversations and generate leads. Thanks to Ai - translating your guide into different languages is now easier than it's ever been, so language is not the barrier it used to be.  Your ‘virtual assistant' should focus purely on driving lead generation and even act as a translator between you and potential clients if need be. Consider rewarding your V.A. with a cash referral for any leads that end up converting into paying clients. Step 6: Use Referrals with Investors and Consider Joint Venture Projects As you build trust with your new clients, referrals can be powerful, so offer cash incentives to get your investor clients passing on the details of people that could be clients… and if they turn into clients you work with, you pay a referral fee as a thank you.  I think it's worth just mentioning another income source that could be incredibly big. I'm always saying to my mentees don't just source deals, if you have the skills and knowledge why not consider doing Joint Ventures (JVs) with your clients. Instead of just earning a sourcing fee, you can partner on deals and share in the profits. A typical J.V. might involve a 50/50 profit split.  I've seen mentees in my program generate tens of thousands of pounds through JVs without putting any of their own money down. You don't need many JV projects to generate six figures a year – it's definitely food for thought if you want to earn more than just a sourcing fee.   Would you like a property mentor to support you for as long as it takes? That's exactly what we offer to select people – so if you want 1-2-1 support and guidance with a monthly video call for 1 hour and daily support too…Plus we give you access to 4 online courses showing you how to master various property investment strategies.    Property Basecamp is accepting applications this month... www.bit.ly/applypsn  Apply now and if we think you're a good fit – we will offer you a place! That's it for today's episode of the Property Side Hustle Podcast. I hope you enjoyed this first episode and don't forget you can now watch the podcast via YouTube – check the show notes for all the links mentioned in today's podcast and… I'll be back with a new episode in a few days-time, until then, stay safe and take it easy.  Paul

In this throwback episode Kevin and Zach discuss the importance of communication and managing patient expectations throughout the Invisalign process, from initial consultation to final results. Key Takeaways: Verbal skills are crucial: Effectively communicating with patients about the Invisalign process, including attachments, IPR ("slenderizing"), and potential refinements, is key to ensuring satisfaction. Manage expectations early: Clearly explain the process, including potential discomfort, dietary changes, and the need for retainers, to avoid surprises and disappointment later. Address objections proactively: Have answers prepared for common concerns like the appearance of attachments, the need for IPR, and the duration of treatment. Use visual aids: Models, photos, or videos can help patients understand the process and visualize the expected outcomes. Don't fight the "mostly satisfied": If an adult patient is happy with their results, even if not perfect, respect their decision and avoid pushing for further refinements. Be prepared for the "never satisfied": Some patients may have unrealistic expectations or hyper-focus on minor imperfections. Patience, clear communication, and gentle guidance are essential. Address noncompliance: Reiterate the importance of wearing aligners as prescribed and address non-compliance directly, but ultimately, patients are responsible for their own choices. Invest in a good Invisalign manager: A dedicated team member can handle patient communication, manage expectations, and provide support throughout the process. Remember the positive: While negative experiences tend to be more memorable, the majority of Invisalign patients are satisfied with their results.

In this episode we talk about employee problems. If you have employees, some of them will create problems that you will have to solve. How do you solve employee problems without firing someone? When do you have to fire someone? We are here to help! In this episode we answer questions including:How do I handle an underperforming co-founder?What can I do about an employee who is chronically late?What if you suspect an employee has a second job?All of these questions were submitted by listeners just like you. You can submit questions for us to answer on our website TheStartupHelpdesk.com or on X/Twitter @thestartuphd - we'd love to hear from you!Your hosts:Sean Byrnes: General Partner, Near Horizon www.nearhorizon.vcAsh Rust: Managing Partner, Sterling Road www.sterlingroad.comNic Meliones: CEO, Navi www.heynavi.comReminder: this is not legal advice or investment advice.Q1: How do I handle an underperforming co-founder?Here are our actionable tips:Weekly 1-on-1s are essential for resolving conflict and achieving alignment.Establish clear expectations for alignment and performance.Reflect on your own contributions to the problem: ask yourself, “what can I do better?”Seek coaching opportunities for your co-founder or explore if they might be a better fit in a different role.If you cannot achieve alignment with your co-founder, consider parting ways.Q2: What can I do about an employee who is chronically late?There are two distinct perspectives to consider:Flexibility is an advantage for your startup. Amazing talent with unorthodox work habits may unlock immense value for your startup.However, collaboration is key. The ability to collaborate is one of the most important skills someone needs in a startup. If punctuality impacts team dynamics, it is essential to address it.We had to settle this one through a tie-breaker decision! Be firm. Small adjustments are acceptable, but don't compromise the ability to collaborate. All work is collaborative. Your team has to work together to achieve goals.Q3: What if you suspect an employee has a second job?1: Outcomes matter more than effort. Are they meeting their goals?2: Consider the cost of losing them vs. the value they bring to your startup.3: Reiterate that team meetings and collaborative efforts are non-negotiable.The key takeaway is this: ignoring problems sets a precedent that affects company culture. Company culture matters.

It's understanding what people are—how their lives are different—and trying to come up with products that will make them or come up with just living a life that will help ease the burden of others.In today's episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Sandy Stinson, the President of GoodWag, Inc. Sandy's journey from mortgage loan officer to pet product entrepreneur is a fascinating story of risk-taking and empathy. She shared how her personal need for an easier way to handle pet waste led her to create GoodWag's signature product, the “PooPail.”Sandy's background as an entrepreneur shines through in her tenacity. “When I came up with the idea for GoodWag, I didn't hesitate. It's like, if I want this, maybe other people do too,” she explained. Her initial crowdfunding campaign was a resounding success, with $500,000 in sales within 30 days. However, navigating production hurdles during the COVID-19 pandemic was far from smooth. Despite delays and supply chain issues, she persevered, eventually manufacturing the PooPail in the United States.Today, Sandy is taking GoodWag to new heights through a regulation crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. “There's what, 65 million households in America that have dogs? And nobody likes to pick up dog poop. I've decided to make that my focus,” she noted. With additional products in development, Sandy's vision extends beyond just solving a messy problem—she's aiming to be the go-to company for pet waste solutions.For those interested in supporting her innovative endeavor, Sandy's StartEngine campaign is currently live. You can check out her crowdfunding effort at s4g.biz/goodwag.tl;dr:* Introduction to Sandy Stinson: Sandy Stinson, President of GoodWag, shares her journey as an entrepreneur, highlighting her background as a mortgage loan officer and her natural inclination towards risk-taking.* GoodWag's Product Story: The origin of GoodWag began with the creation of the "poop pail," a solution for dog waste disposal developed out of personal need. Sandy tested the product's market viability through a crowdfunding campaign in March 2021, raising $500,000 in 30 days.* Challenges in Manufacturing: Sandy discusses her struggles with manufacturing during the COVID-19 pandemic, including supply chain issues and setbacks with manufacturers. Despite delays, she overcame obstacles to successfully bring her product to market.* Sales and Expansion: Since launching the product on their website in late 2022, GoodWag has sold over a million dollars worth of poop pails. The company is currently exploring new products and has launched a regulation crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine to support its growth.* Empathy as a Superpower: Sandy identifies empathy as her superpower, using it to understand and solve customer problems, both in her previous mortgage career and in her current business. She emphasizes the importance of listening to customer feedback to improve products and services.How to Develop Empathy As a SuperpowerIn today's episode, Sandy Stinson described her superpower as empathy—the ability to understand and appreciate how others' lives differ from her own. She emphasized how empathy drives her to create products and live a life that eases the burdens of others. For Sandy, empathy isn't just a personal trait; it's a guiding principle in her business practices, helping her connect with customers and design solutions that truly address their needs.Sandy recounted her time as a mortgage loan officer, explaining how empathy was key in serving her clients. Unlike others who focused solely on sales, Sandy took the time to ensure clients fully understood their loans. She used worksheets and wrote upside down to walk them through complex details, emphasizing, "You're not leaving here until you understand everything." This patient, empathetic approach led to her clients being well-prepared for their financial commitments, resulting in fewer foreclosures among her customers.Tips for Developing Empathy:* Know Your Weaknesses: Acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses and understand that not everyone shares the same abilities or background.* Resist Judgment: Recognize that people are doing the best they can with their skills and experiences. Avoid making assumptions about others' capabilities.* Be Patient: When communicating, especially in complex situations, take the time to ensure others fully understand. Reiterate and simplify as needed.* Listen Actively: Incorporate feedback into your actions. Sandy redesigned her product, the poop pail, based on customer feedback, demonstrating the importance of listening to others' needs.By following Sandy's example and advice, you can make empathy a skill. With practice and effort, it can become a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Join hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton in this enlightening episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, where they tackle the common misconceptions surrounding the mental health of law enforcement officers (Amazon Affiliate). Breaking the Stigma: The Reality of Mental Health in Law Enforcement addresses the unfair stereotype that all police officers struggle with mental health issues due to the nature of their work. Discover how many officers maintain robust mental health through effective coping mechanisms and lead thriving lives both professionally and personally. Introduction to Mental Health Stigmas: Explore the stigma associated with being a law enforcement officer and the assumptions that all officers suffer from mental health issues, discussing how these perceptions can impact officers both within their communities and their personal lives. The Reality of Mental Health Among Officers: Discuss the fact that while some officers do face mental health challenges, many have healthy coping mechanisms that allow them to thrive in their roles and personal lives. Highlight that, like any profession, mental health varies widely among individuals. Effective Coping Mechanisms: Physical Activity: Many officers use regular exercise, such as running, weight training, or team sports, as a powerful tool to manage stress and maintain mental health. Hobbies and Interests: Engaging in hobbies outside of work, such as music, woodworking, or photography, provides creative outlets that help balance work pressures. Mindfulness and Meditation: Practices like mindfulness and meditation are increasingly popular among officers for their proven benefits in reducing stress and enhancing overall emotional resilience. Strong Social Support: Building and maintaining strong relationships with family, friends, and colleagues acts as a critical buffer against stress and is a source of positive reinforcement. Professional Counseling: Utilizing professional counseling services, which provide a safe space to discuss challenges and develop strategies for personal and professional well-being. Challenging the Negative Stereotypes: Highlight stories and examples of officers who manage high-stress situations effectively and maintain a healthy psychological outlook, challenging the negative stereotypes and showcasing the diversity of experiences within the force. Community Interaction and Education: Discuss the importance of community engagement and education in changing public perceptions. Explain how open dialogues and community programs can help demystify the work and lives of law enforcement officers. Sum up the discussion by emphasizing the need for a balanced view of law enforcement officers' mental health. Reiterate that, like any group, officers are individuals with diverse mental health statuses and coping strategies. Encourage listeners to think critically about their perceptions of law enforcement and mental health. Suggest engaging with local community initiatives that involve police officers to better understand their challenges and contributions. Invite listeners to share positive experiences and stories about law enforcement officers to help break down the stigmas associated with the profession.

In this insightful episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton share personal stories and general advice on nurturing successful marriages within the first responder and military communities. Strengthening Bonds: Successful Marriage Tips for First Responders and Military Members focuses on understanding and leveraging individual strengths and preferences to foster a supportive and understanding relationship. Learn strategies that cater specifically to the unique challenges faced by those in demanding careers. Introduction to Relationship Dynamics (Amazon Affiliate): Explore the importance of recognizing and respecting individual differences in handling stress and responsibilities in relationships where one or both partners are first responders or military members. Understanding Each Other's Strengths: Reflect on the benefits of knowing each other's strengths and how to utilize them effectively. For example, if one partner thrives under pressure or in public settings, they might take on roles that require these skills, like speaking at events or handling crisis situations at home. Respecting Personal Space and Working Styles: Consider how acknowledging each other's working styles can significantly reduce stress. If one partner, like Clint, performs better alone, it's beneficial to provide that space for them to excel without feeling observed or judged. Communication Strategies: Discuss the importance of open and honest communication, especially about job-related stress and how it can affect the relationship. Share tips on how to communicate effectively, avoiding misunderstandings and building trust. Balancing Professional and Personal Life: Provide examples of how to maintain a healthy balance between professional duties and personal life. This might include setting boundaries about discussing work at home or dedicating specific times to spend together undisturbed. Support Systems and External Resources: Highlight the value of having a strong support system, including friends, family, and professional help if needed. Discuss how engaging with community resources, couples therapy, or support groups for first responders can strengthen relationships. Celebrating Small Victories Together: Emphasize the importance of celebrating successes and positive moments together, whether they are related to work achievements or personal milestones. This helps build a shared sense of accomplishment and happiness. Recap the key strategies discussed for maintaining a successful marriage as a first responder or military member. Reiterate the importance of teamwork, understanding, and mutual support in navigating the complexities of such demanding careers.

Welcome to Talk Heathen! One of our new hosts, Sofia Spina, joins ObjectivelyDan live in the studio! Felix in FL is first up! He claims secularism is destroying the purity of sex and that devalues monogamous marriage. Purity culture does not lead to longer lasting marriages and can lead to marrying just to have sex. You need to be skeptical of your sources of information, especially if they're part of the manosphere. Those values can lead to dehumanizing people. Gary in NY claims religious food charities take advantage of mentally ill people, making people sit through a service. Gary has waited 3 hours of speaking in tongues to get a meal. It's gross, just help people. ObjectivelyDan has seen some things when he was part of a church. Churches seem to drop out of the national scene because they want to preach, making them less effective. John in the live audience is curious how Felix justifies biblical references of concubines and multiple wives. We don't want to strawman Felix, he never mentioned the bible as his source. The hosts think they would argue the old versus new testament thing if they were still believers. Such a bad argument. Liam in LA pitches his take on the “no man knows in his heart the hour Jesus will return” verse. He proposes a sign up sheet where 4 billion men claim to know the hour in their heart and game the system. We love end times prophecies…well not really. Rapture prophecies push the fear of hell on you. Steve in FL sees a link between political power and religious industry. Seeing these proposed laws and hate coming from religion feels like we're sliding backwards. Continue the good secular fight! David in IN asks how to talk to children about low/no contact religious family members. Talk to your kids about your values. Reiterate we need to feel safe in our bodies and how people can make us feel unsafe. Set good boundaries with family and friends.Universal in CA claims there are deeper dimensions to the bible because humans have layers beneath the skin. The problem is that it's not a tool used for human truth, it can be a tool for oppression. As is, we have to rely on interpretations and translations to read the bible. The bible does not go into this spiritual versus animal side of humanity.Thank you for tuning in to your community! This week's Talk Heathen To Me prompt is: What is an inappropriate thing to say at a religious funeral.

Chris Wilson is the VP of content and the head strength coach at Critical Bench, possibly one of the first and most tenured online fitness video repositories which has been going strong since 1999. It is wild (especially for us oldtimers) to consider that online fitness content's been around for a quarter of a century and Critical Bench is a great example of playing the long game in this industry, which is a topic Erin and Lara dig into.   At the end of this episode, Chris get's into a really remarkable idea about functional aging so make sure to listen all the way through! They also cover how the fitness industry has changed in the last 30 years. Chris walks us through how they iterated not just their sales pages and marketing but their entire programs. One of the most important points of this conversation is how long and how many iterations (or repackaging and rethinking) it takes to create a successful business or product.   We are certain you are going to enjoy this conversation with an online fitness veteran, Chris Wilson.

The definition of a sustainable business might be: we're making money our bills are paid we're feeling fulfilled.  But the true test of sustainability is challenging times. It might be global (pandemic anyone?); it might be national (economic uncertainty); or it might be personal adversity in our lives. Today's guest, Tania Gaylor, is no stranger to adversity of many kinds in the last few years, but through it all she has built a business that has sustained both her and her family through the ups and downs and has given her the opportunity to have the space she needed to heal. Tania is a member of our Mindshift Membership community and a student of The Art of Selling Art course. She is a portrait photographer in Australia and has owned her business for 15 years.

Here's the situation: You had a client inquire about your services (yay!). They seemed excited and the conversation led you to send over a contract. You wait and wait for a response only to hear crickets…so you end up signing on another client for the date in question. You can't wait around forever, right? But then the original client comes back and says they are ready to sign. Your stomach drops because you gave away the spot and now you have an angry ex-potential client on your hands demanding that they have that date despite their own lack of communication. What do you do? Do you give in and cancel the other contract? What if they leave a terrible review about you? In Episode 153 of The Legal Paige Podcast, I dig into this sticky situation and let you in on how I would handle it (and how you can avoid it in the first place).HOW TO RESPOND IN THIS (STICKY) SITUATION The most important thing you can do to address this situation is to respond back with the facts! Tell the person that you communicated with them in X way X amount of times. Explain that you book your services on a first come first serve basis and that you waited a certain amount of time (say two weeks) with an open contract and didn't hear from them. Reiterate that you moved onto a new client, apologize, but be firm in your stance that your services are highly sought after and it's not your fault that they had such a delay. TIPS FOR AVOIDING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS IN THE FUTUREAlways set a deadline for when your contracts need to be signed, clearly communicate to your clients that if they don't sign by that date you will open the date back up to other inquiries. Especially important here with sought-after dates.Follow up 24 hours prior to the contract deadline. Alert the potential client that their deadline is approaching and a signature is necessary to make things official - documentation and proof are your friends here!Tie up loose ends. After the contract deadline has passed, follow up with the client and say that the contract signing period has lapsed. Therefore, you will open their date back up.

Randa sits down with Dietician April Dirteater of ADD Nutrition to discuss: Weight Lifting is More Important for Fat Loss & Sustainable Goals vs Continuous Calorie Deficit & More Cardio. You can work with April in the PowHer.fit 12 Week Advanced Nutrition 1.0 Course Here: https://members.powher.fit/user_catalog_class/show/22657 Explain calorie deficit, maintenance and surplus. Explain BMR and how to increase it. But I thought a calorie deficit was the only way to lose fat? So why can't I just decrease my calories? So that means adding in cardio would help me be in a calorie deficit, right? Why exercise calories burned really shouldn't matter. How does lifting weights aid in fat loss and become even more beneficial than just a continuous calorie deficit in the long term? -Break down what weight lifting does -Break down how weight lifting needs fuel -Break down the benefits of having muscle, especially as we age -Reiterate that there's no certain age where you can or cannot lift weights What happens to the muscle I've built when I go into a calorie deficit? But if I'm lifting, shouldn't I be adding in more cardio for better results? How to trust yourself to not always be dieting? But won't I gain fat if I start eating more? *Red flag discussion on always thinking more cardio needs to be added in to a strength training regiment*

Senior diplomat Wang Yi said on Thursday that China has encouraged and supported all efforts conducive to a peaceful settlement of the Ukraine crisis and has actively promoted the de-escalation of the situation, as he wrapped up a weeklong Eurasian tour.外交部王毅在2月23日在结束了为期一周的欧亚之行之际表示，中国鼓励和支持一切有利于和平解决乌克兰危机的努力，积极推动局势缓和。The trip, which took him to four European Union countries and Russia, came as the Ukraine crisis approached its first anniversary, which falls on Friday.此行他访问了四个欧盟国家和俄罗斯，正值2月24日乌克兰危机一周年之际。The Ukraine crisis occurring in Europe and influencing the whole world, Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and also director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the CPC Central Committee, said settlement of the crisis must not be delayed indefinitely.中共中央政治局委员、中央外事工作委员会办公室主任王毅表示，当前乌克兰危机正在欧洲发生并影响着全球，乌克兰危机的解决不能无限期拖延。He called on Europe to think carefully about "what conditions should be created for a cease-fire, what framework is required to bring lasting peace and stability in Europe, and what role Europe should play to truly reflect its strategic autonomy".他呼吁欧洲认真思考“应该为停火创造什么样的条件，需要什么样的框架来实现欧洲的持久和平与稳定，以及欧洲应该发挥什么样的作用来真正体现其战略自主性”。On the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference in Germany, Wang met with leaders and diplomats from more than 10 countries, including Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. While in Russia, he also exchanged views with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the Ukraine issue.在德国出席慕尼黑安全会议期间，王毅会见了包括乌克兰外长德米特罗·库列巴在内的10多个国家领导人和外交官。在俄罗斯访问期间，他还与俄罗斯总统普京就乌克兰问题交换了意见。Wang said that all parties, though divided in their positions, appreciate China's objective stance and calm attitude, and they expect Beijing to play a more active role in the political settlement of the issue.王毅表示，各方虽然立场存在分歧，但都赞赏中方的客观立场和冷静态度，期待北京在政治解决问题上发挥更加积极的作用。China will put forward a position paper on a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis soon, Wang said, adding that the paper will reiterate China's stance and incorporate all countries' legitimate concerns.王毅表示，中方将尽快提出政治解决乌克兰危机的立场文件，重申中方立场，兼顾他国合理关切。As it is a strong aspiration of peoples of all countries to make the world a safer place, Wang said no country has the privilege of having its own way in the world and engaging in double standards or exceptionalism. He also emphasized that any hegemonic, domineering or bullying practices should be rejected.建设一个更安全的世界是各国人民的强烈愿望，任何国家都没有在世界上独断专行、搞双重标准或例外主义的特权。他还强调，任何霸权主义、霸道主义和恃强凌弱的做法都应予以拒绝。Having chosen Europe as his first overseas destination this year, Wang called for China and the EU to remove external disruptions, properly manage differences and step up exchanges and cooperation.王毅表示，今年首访欧洲，中欧要排除外部干扰，妥善管控分歧，加强交流合作。Doing so would inject valuable stability into the turbulent international situation and be of great significance in promoting a political solution of the Ukraine issue, he said.此举将为当前动荡的国际局势注入宝贵的稳定性，对推动政治解决乌克兰问题具有重要意义。Wang highlighted that China-EU relations are of "global and strategic" significance, saying that the two are partners, not rivals, and represent opportunities rather than threats to each other.王毅强调，中欧关系具有“全球和战略意义”，双方是合作伙伴而不是竞争对手，互为机遇而不是威胁。Wang also said that President Xi Jinping's in-depth exchanges with EU leaders through face-to-face talks, virtual meetings and phone calls more than 20 times over the past year played a leading strategic role in advancing China-EU ties.王毅还表示，习近平主席一年来同欧盟领导人通过20余次面对面会谈、虚拟会晤、通话等形式深入交流，为推进中欧关系发挥了战略引领作用。Meanwhile, as the direction and impact of China-United States relations go far beyond the scope of bilateral ties and concern world peace and security, Wang urged Washington to show sincerity and face up to and redress the damage to Sino-US relations of the abuse of force against the Chinese unmanned airship that accidentally entered US airspace and was shot down by the US military on Feb 4.同时，鉴于中美关系的走向和影响远远超出双边关系范畴，事关世界和平与安全，王毅敦促华盛顿拿出诚意，正视和纠正滥用职权给中美关系造成的损害。2月4日，中国无人飞艇意外进入美国领空被美军击落。During an unofficial meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Feb 18 on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, Wang urged Washington to "stop doing such absurd things out of domestic political needs".2月18日，王毅在慕尼黑安全会议期间与美国国务卿布林肯举行非正式会晤，敦促华盛顿“停止出于国内政治需要而做这种荒谬的事情”。Wang said that "if the US continues to dramatize, hype up or escalate the situation, China will surely respond by doing what is necessary".王毅表示，“如果美方继续渲染、炒作、升级事态，中方必将采取必要措施予以回应。”Though the US is unscrupulously trying to suppress and contain China, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is unstoppable, as China's development has a strong, inherent driving force and inevitable historical logic.尽管美国妄图打压和遏制中国，但中华民族伟大复兴的进程不可阻挡。中国发展有着强大的内在动力和必然的历史逻辑。He urged the US to abandon the obsolete Cold War mentality, adopt an objective and fair perception of China and return to a rational and pragmatic China policy.他敦促美方摒弃陈旧的冷战思维，客观公正看待中国，回归理性务实的对华政策。Conducive英 [kənˈdjuːsɪv] 美 [kənˈduːsɪv]adj. 有助于…的;Reiterate英 [riˈɪtəreɪt] 美 [riˈɪtəreɪt]v.重申Turbulent英[ˈtɜːbjələnt]美[ˈtɜːrbjələnt]adj.混乱的

China said on Monday that high-altitude balloons from the United States had flown over its airspace more than 10 times since the beginning of last year without permission from Chinese authorities.2月13日，中国当局表示，去年以来，美方高空气球10余次非法飞越中国领空。"It is not an uncommon thing for US balloons to illegally enter other countries' airspace," Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said, noting that China has dealt with the US balloons in a responsible and professional way.外交部发言人汪文斌说：“美方气球非法进入别国的领空，并不是什么稀罕事。”他指出，中国在处理美方气球一事上一直本着负责任和专业的态度。Wang made the remarks at a regular news briefing in Beijing as Washington continued dramatizing the accidental entry of a Chinese civilian airship into its airspace.在华盛顿继续夸大中国民用飞艇意外进入其领空之际，汪文斌在北京的例行新闻发布会上发表了上述言论。In one of the latest moves after the US military shot down the Chinese airship earlier this month, the US Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security said on Friday that it has blacklisted six Chinese entities that it said were linked to Beijing's aerospace programs, including those involving airships and balloons.在本月初美方击落中国飞艇后的最新举措之一中显示，2月10日，美国商务部工业和安全局已将六家中国实体列入黑名单，称其与北京包括涉及飞艇和气球在内的航空航天项目有关。Wang said: "We strongly deplore and oppose this. China will take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of Chinese companies and organizations."汪文斌指出：“我们对此表示强烈谴责和反对。中方将采取一切必要措施，坚决维护中国企业和组织的正当合法权益。”He added that Washington is using the illegal unilateral sanctions against Chinese institutions to play up the situation.他补充道，华盛顿在利用对中国机构的非法单边制裁来渲染局势。China urges the US to appropriately handle accidents caused by force majeure in a calm, professional and restrained manner, Wang said, noting that the two sides are maintaining necessary communication.中方敦促美方通过冷静、专业、克制的方式，妥善处理这次因不可抗力导致的意外情况，并双方保持着必要沟通。The spokesman reiterated Beijing's firm opposition to Washington's overreaction by using force to deal with the Chinese airship, saying that it is the US that has been abusing its technological advantages to conduct large-scale, indiscriminate surveillance and theft of secrets across the world, including against its allies.发言人重申，北京坚决反对华盛顿对中国飞艇使用武力的过度反应，并表示，正是美国滥用其技术优势，在世界各地包括其盟友在内进行大规模、不分青红皂白的监视和窃密。Given such infringements on other countries' sovereignty and interests, which also violate international law and basic norms governing international relations, Wang said no country has a better claim to the titles of spy state and surveillance state than the US.鉴于这一侵犯他国主权和利益的行为同样违反了国际法和国际关系基本准则，美国当之无愧成为了间谍国和监视国。He also mentioned Washington's frequent close-in surveillance around China, which seriously threatens China's national security and undermines regional peace and stability.他还提到，华盛顿频繁对中国周边进行抵近监视，严重威胁中国国家安全，破坏地区和平稳定。"The US side should check on its own behavior, instead of smearing others and instigating confrontation," Wang said.汪文斌表示：“美方应该检讨自己的行为，而不是抹黑别人、挑起对抗。”According to the South China Sea Strategic Situation Probing Initiative, a Beijing-based think tank, US reconnaissance aircraft flew 657 missions to the South China Sea last year and 64 such flights in January this year.根据总部位于北京的“南海战略态势感知计划”智库数据，美国侦察机去年在南海执行了657次任务，今年1月执行了64次。Unilateral 英 [ˌjuːnɪˈlætrəl] 美 [ˌjuːnɪˈlætrəl]adj.单边的Sanction英[ˈsæŋkʃn] 美[ˈsæŋkʃn]n.制裁Reiterate英 [riˈɪtəreɪt] 美 [riˈɪtəreɪt]v. 重申

President Joe Biden had a few goals last night: 1. Remind his audience of his accomplishments over the last two years; 2. Reiterate his positions in the spending debate (no negotiations over the debt ceiling and no touching Social Security and Medicare); 3. Detail the most popular highlights of his 2023 agenda; and 4. Expose his congressional GOP opposition as unreasonable and chaotic. The speech accomplished the first three goals if you listened or read it carefully. But it will be best remembered for the dramatic clashes with jeering members of the GOP which may have done more than Biden ever could have hoped to accomplish goal No. 4.  Subscribe to the POLITICO Playbook newsletter Raghu Manavalan is the host and senior editor of POLITICO's Playbook Daily Briefing.

Dr Irene urges you in this episode to expose the self limiting lies you have been telling yourself and instead listen to your inner truth.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Think about it very carefully. What limiting beliefs do you unquestioningly believe about yourself that may not be true?  We absorb our environment and the ideas of those around us when we are young and let it influence our idea of ourselves. Your thoughts can have consequences so great that they create your reality. Follow Irene's simple exercise to begin. Write down all the potential lies that you believe in your life. To help you do this you can do this with your coach or any accountability partners that you have. Write down the truths that refute each of these lies. Reread these over the next few days. Reiterate them to yourself until they become real in your mind.    BEST MOMENTS ‘We are born with two types of fear. Fear of loud noises or fear of heights. But along the way we became more fearful. We form habits, beliefs and fears during our childhood and we actually encode some of this faulty coding and images in our subconscious mind.'  ‘You have a divine calling on your life. You can call it divine energy, chi power, god or the universe, it doesn't matter. You are meant to be more. You are amazing!'  ‘You are like the unpolished diamond waiting to be honed and be discovered.'

Episode Summary:In this episode of SaaS Origin Stories, Phil Alves is joined by Dani Grant, CEO, and Co-Founder at Jam.dev. This successful SaaS startup offers developers and project managers a fast and reliable debugging solution. Dani shares her insights on the different ingredients that make up a successful startup, including funding, attaining product market fit, and working with small and agile teams. Along the way, she also busts some commonly-held startup myths.Guest at a Glance:Name: Dani GrantWhat she does: Dani is the CEO and Co-Founder at Jam.dev, a SaaS startup that offers a fast and reliable debugging solution. Connect with Dani: LinkedInTopics we cover:Don't start without concept validation Investor meetings: how to ace themIs product market fit enough on your mind?Myth Busting - #1 -  Go-to-market speed is criticalMyth Busting - #2  - Ship fast; just get it in front of the customerKey Takeaways:Worry About Concept Validation Before Thinking About Market ValidationThe concept of fast and reliable debugging software was born out of Dani's struggles while working as a project manager at Cloudflare, where project delays due to endless communications cycles on bugs and fixes were endemic. So the concept of Jam.dev was to deliver software that would speed up the debugging process. To validate the concept, she connected with over 50 project managers across various industries to understand if the problem was universal. Validating your idea is the first brick of your SaaS startup and a nifty talking point when in front of investors.  We interviewed over 50 project managers across different industries to check if this was an issue they faced as well.Be Who Your Investors are Looking For - Helpful Tips for Investor MeetsDani spent two years at a VC listening to pitches, and she offers her insights on the typical investor's playbook. The investor's appetite is minimal, so how and what you pitch is critical. Don't focus on the investment you need; instead, focus on making the meeting a great experience for the investor. One that they will remember for a while and hence remember your proposal. Face-to-face meetings are better than Zoom meetings. Keep your answers short and engaging, don't jump into micro details. Offer a top view and then move on to offer further details. Make your meetings memorable. When answering questions, give a high-level overview first and then offer to go into details. You're now letting the VC steer the conversation.Achieving Product Market Fit and BeyondThe amount of mind space you devote to thinking about product market fit depends on the evolution stage of your startup. It should be front and center leading up to the launch and a couple of quarters down the line, and the retention rate is a good indicator of fit level. As the retention rate stabilizes, start thinking about how to tweak your product to improve the fit, customer feedback is vital at this stage. Once you achieve the desired PMF, other business priorities will occupy your mind, and you will think less about PMF.  We moved from living and breathing PMF to not thinking about it, and we probably achieved our product market fit somewhere in between. Myth Busting - Go to Market Speed is Critical - Don't Reiterate the PrototypeOnce you have your prototype, don't think of it as the Holy Grail, which doesn't need fixing. Spending a few weeks revisiting your prototype and making required changes and upgrades can save you valuable time that you would spend on improving the framework post-launch. Pre-launch delays are less costly than post-launch ones. Spending a few weeks or even a month reiterating your prototype allows you to set a solid foundation and move faster one or two years down the line.Myth Busting - It Will Never Be 100% Right, so Ship Fast is Better Than Ship RightThe conventional logic says to get the product in front of the customer as fast as possible. But shipping a buggy product that is still a work in progress is a recipe for disaster. Dani gives the example of her startup, where they iterated the base software for 18 months before taking it to the market. At every iteration, they would use it as a customer to check if the software did everything it promised.  In a SaaS environment, people rely on software to do their daily tasks, which must work every time.

Others might call me boss, coach or mentor. Today you can call me The Leadership Hacker.   Thanks for listening in. I really appreciate it. My job as the leadership hacker is to hack into the minds, experiences, habits and learning of great leaders, C-Suite executives, authors and development experts so that I can assist you developing your understanding and awareness of leadership. I am Steve Rush, and I am your host today. I am the author of Leadership Cake. I am a transformation consultant and leadership coach. I cannot wait to start sharing all things leadership with you   If ever you wonder what the relationship was with the animals in the Savannahs of Africa and our own emotional intelligence, you can find out today. Frank Forencich is an internationally recognized leader in health and performance education. Having studied human biology and neuroscience. He's dedicated his life to understanding the relationship we have with our brains. But before we had a chance speak with Frank, it's The Leadership Hacker News. The Leadership Hacker News Steve Rush: You'll know if you're a regular listener, there's always top tips and ideas to help you on your way. But we're going to flip that round today and look at things that we can avoid. So here are the five common mistakes that both young and experienced leaders make and how to avoid them. Number one, in properly delegating work, failing to properly delegate work is a number one, common leadership blunder, good leaders, hand out assignments, according to skills and interest. Don't assign a writing assignment to a developer and vice versa. You know, that just makes no sense, right? Another way to innovate and get results is to award certain work with those who volunteer for it. By taking a chance, you might discover unique skills from the person who least expect it. Number two, communicating poorly, feel like you're not providing enough feedback to your team. And it's time to revisit the lines of communication, make it a priority to have open communication, regardless of who it is. Reiterate this need to have weekly meetings, stress the importance of timely replies. Just as long as your team will answer, and you do the same. You can create a huge swell of energy that's positive. Overcommunication in a crisis is even more relevant, but the hack is to set out sometimes and set out some expectations of what it is you are intending to send and receive from your team. Number three, focusing too much on strategy and not enough on day-to-day tactics. Some leaders get blindsided by the alluring strategy rather than the day to day, but it's these everyday tactics require strong focus in order to arrive at your final solution in the first place. I used to call these BBCs or basic, but critical behaviors, things that you expect to see happen that are task driven and focused on outcomes. They're all people centric, and you're able to connect the dots to your strategy, but those daily basic routines help you on your longer journey. Number four, failing to balance a hands-off approach with micromanaging. Many leaders are either two hands off or they over manage. The optimum solution is to find the balance between the two and to help you get there, accountability and empowerment are the two triggers. Get your accountability and empowerment imbalance you create more leaders and high performance. Number five. Forgetting to teach, train, motivate, and reward. Ongoing training and learning and development is not only vital for the individual, but for the entire company. There are thousands of online seminars for pretty much any discipline, especially in things like digital, many are free. And for those that aren't, you might be able to pay them through relationships. Doesn't have to be a direct cost. And of course, the biggest learning comes from doing. The experiences you have that naturally occur across your organization. Sometimes helping people recognize that actually that is exactly what's happening. They are learning is part of that process. Next is motivation. Now you've pretty much worked out I would imagine that you can't actually motivate anybody, but you can create the right environment for those to be motivated in whether it be a senior group of people or junior staff. It's more important that you find those good old-fashioned things that are really important to them. Understanding their internal and intrinsic motivations will really help you connect the dots and the purpose of the work that they do. The things that make them tick. And it's a mistake, but many leaders just don't even ask, what is it that motivates you? And lastly, reward, if an employee excels, provides more bonuses, small gestures of thanks, doesn't have to be huge amounts of bonuses, but again, linked to intrinsic motivation can make a world of difference. And of course, it'll be different for everyone, but find out, ask a question, how do you like to be rewarded? And you'll also get some great data that you can rely on as a leader. Leadership mishap and blunder are an inevitability. We're going to do it. The most important thing is to learn from those blunders along the way. So as leaders, we can truly be in the service of our teams. That's been The Leadership Hacker News. And thank you to Rebecca, one of our listeners who encourage us to look at this from a different lens to flip the context and to look at this as a lesson learned activity, let's dive into the show. Start of Podcast Steve Rush: Frank Forencich is a special guest on today's show. He's an internationally recognized leader in health and performance education. He's a Stanford University graduate in human biology and neuroscience. As over 30 years, teaching martial arts and experience around health and education. Frank holds black belt in both karate and aikido and his many research trips across the world, including Africa, has helped him really get into and study the human origins and ancestral environment. And that's where he got his inspiration from his new book, Beware False Tigers: Strategies and Anecdotes for an Age of Stress. Frank, welcome to The Leadership Hacker Podcast. Frank Forencich: Delighted to be here. Steve Rush: So, I'm really intrigued at how you can get two black belts and two martial arts, as well as all of the experience you pull together. Frank Forencich: [Laugh]. Steve Rush: And written many books, Frank. So, I can't wait to get into the journey. Perhaps for our audience. You could just give us a little bit of the backstory as to how you've arrived to do what you do today? Frank Forencich: Right, well, I first became interested in the martial arts in my early twenties. And this was when I was an undergraduate at Stanford and I was studying human biology and I was fascinated with physicality and with movement. And I thought that there was something there that was very important. And as an educational experience, the martial art was just fantastic for me. It was a time to feel really focused. And I had a lot of really fantastic teachers. And at the same time, I had a professor in human biology who said, if you really want to understand the human animal, you have to go to Africa and study our history. And so, I took him up on that and little by little, all these various pieces started to come together. And later on, I studied athletic training and massage therapy and it's been a really exciting journey to look at the human body where it came from and how it functions. So, I've, been exceptionally lucky in this to have all these opportunities to do. Steve Rush: And many scholars that kind of walk in your path almost have gone to Africa into the Savannahs and have used that as a backdrop to really understand human behavior, as well as animal behavior, haven't they? Frank Forencich: Right, and I think it's so essential that we are involved in this because the modern world is kind of an illusion. We tend to believe that the world has always been the way it is now, and we've kind of parachuted into the modern world. But in fact, we have a history, and that history is deep and important. Steve Rush: And that history I suspect that you talk about is where we had no distractions. We were kind of in our original settings and that's how we were programmed physiologically to behave, right? Frank Forencich: Right, you can study the stuff directly. But I think for people who haven't studied it is to have a look at the movie. The Gods Must Be Crazy. And you might remember that one where, the first half of the movie, actually the first 20 minutes of the movie, they look at the lives of the Kalahari Bushman in South Africa. And they compare that to the modern, urban people living in Africa. And they really show the mismatch between our original experience and what we experience today. Steve Rush: So, some of our folk will be familiar with that fight or flight freeze and appease that comes with that physiological response to an environment. But the irony is, that what was created through our evolution to protect us and service in times of danger and need, actually, we now trigger for this, you know, being late for work or I'm behind on a Zoom meeting or something like that, right? Frank Forencich: Right, and that's sort of the irony. We've created a world, a modern world with a lot of comforts, but at the same time, we've created a lot of new and unique threats to our bodies and our lives and things like computer viruses and phishing attacks and all of these fine print sort of things didn't exist until recently. So now we have, you might say new tigers in camp. Steve Rush: Yeah, so hence the title of the book, right. Beware of False Tigers. Frank Forencich: Yes. Steve Rush: So, what was it that compelled you to write the book and tell us a little bit about it? Frank Forencich: Right, well, this goes back to my experience in massage school, because of course there was a lot of talk about stress and reducing stress. And the more I looked at that, the more I started to realize this is a major, major theme for the modern world. It's not just feeling a little bit anxious, or it's not just a threat to your own personal longevity or health. This is something that afflicts the entire human population now in a way that's historically unprecedented. Steve Rush: Right. Frank Forencich: So, this is a major theme for all of us. Steve Rush: Yeah, you call these tigers. How do you recognize tigers? Frank Forencich: [Laugh], well, we recognize them through the limbic system of our brain and our autonomic nervous system. And this is something that happens oftentimes below conscious radar. And we experience a feeling, a threat to our personal welfare. And then we get to try and interpret what that is. You know, the voice of stress is not always that articulate. And we may feel a threat to the organism, a threat to our welfare. And then we get to try and decode what that feeling is all about. So, it's an exercise in learning the world and an exercise in learning who we are. Steve Rush: And the whole notion of them being false tigers is, we're probably releasing the tigers unnecessarily? Frank Forencich: Right. Steve Rush: Would that be a kind of fair take on things? Frank Forencich: Right, it's always about perception. So, if you have an event in your life and you interpret it as a tiger, but maybe it's really not an actual threat to your life, then you're turning on your fight flight system. Steve Rush: Yeah. Frank Forencich: Unnecessarily, and if you only do that, occasionally, if you get it wrong, occasionally that's no big deal, but if you get it wrong consistently over the course of months and years, then that's going to degrade your health, but not just your health, but your cognition and your ability to function in the world. So, it has huge ripple effects across your entire life. Steve Rush: The one thing that struck me when I started reading your book, Frank is, why don't they teach us in high school? And why don't they teach us in, you know, kindergarten and junior and primary schools? Frank Forencich: Oh yeah. That's a big pet pave of mine because this is something that's so important to our ability to function. And yet we mostly ignore it. And the way I pitch this, I say, for the human animal, we have to have an understanding of what's dangerous in the world. And in the paleo, this was always obvious because everybody, even little children in your tribe, in your camp, would've known that carnivores and predators are dangerous and that wildfires are dangerous and fast flowing rivers are dangerous. That sort of thing, and danger, would've been palpable and easy to understand, but now we have all these new threats, and we don't educate for that. It's unlikely that any of your listeners have ever taken a course called what is dangerous. Steve Rush: That's right, yeah. Frank Forencich: But we should be doing that. And that would help us sort out genuine dangers from false dangers. And that would seem to be a fundamental part of human education now. Steve Rush: Yeah, I agree with you. So, within the book, you talk about a couple of things I'd love to unpick them with you. One of which is prime makes predicament. Frank Forencich: Yes. Steve Rush: Tell us about that? Steve Rush: Yes, what is the state of the human animal right now? And then there's of course controversy about all of this. But from my point of view, we are under such a high level of stress. A total stress burden that we're carrying around with us means that we have a population level predicament here. And some of the numbers are staggering. There's like 1 billion people in the world now who have in mental health problems.1 billion people in the world are living with chronic pain. That's like one out of eight. So those are huge red flags that the human animal is having trouble adapting to the modern world. And this gets back to mismatch this idea that we have. These ancient bodies trying to make a go of it in the modern world. Some people do pretty well with that mismatch. And some people adapt easily, but an enormous percentage of people are struggling with that challenge. And by and large, we aren't taking it seriously. Steve Rush: What's the root cause to that mismatch. Do you think? Frank Forencich: Well, it's kind of a byproduct of our intense creativity. We are really good at devising innovations and short-term solutions and the world becomes progressively more complicated ever since the industrial revolution. We've had this just escalating series of innovations that the human animal hasn't really had time to adapt to. All of this innovation has happened in the blink of an eye and boom. Now all of a sudden, we're in this new world. Steve Rush: Yeah, and if we kind of fast forward to, you know, the next 10 years. Thinking about the real stresses of our lives and our times and the real tigers, how do we kind of figure out what's real to us versus what we are fooling ourselves as false tigers? Frank Forencich: Right, well, I think the number one thing that we have to be doing right now is listening to the science and especially climate science that is without question, the alpha tiger on the planet right now, that is the biggest threat to human welfare, human civilization and our ability to have any kind of a future. So that is the tiger that we have to be working with right now. Steve Rush: Yeah, definitely. And it's, I guess you could call it a real tiger because we've got the evidence that comes with that. Frank Forencich: Yeah. Steve Rush: So much like in the paleo, we could see the, you know, the burning forest. We could see the rapids in the water. We can actually see that happening around us now. So, I guess it helps us make that awareness that it is a real tiger. How do you convince those who are maybe less aware that it is real? Frank Forencich: Oh, that's a great question. And what I'm seeing is a lot of frustration in the climate community among climate scientists who are saying, we need to convince people that this is real. There's a lot of frustration there. A breakaway group of climate scientists now have become activists. And they're saying the conventional channels really aren't working. So, I'm not sure what it is. I think it's going to take some shocks to the system that are going to make this obvious to more people. But right now, it's an uphill battle. Steve Rush: You used the word that I just want to explore, which is activist and activism. And I know that's something that you've been really passionate about, but people also get confused with the word, don't they? Because they see it as something that's aggressive and it's contrary. And actually, you have a very different spin on it. I wonder if you could just share that? Frank Forencich: [Laugh], right. Well, the book I'm currently writing is about activism from a martial arts perspective. Steve Rush: Okay. Frank Forencich: The idea here is that we are immersed in a world where their conflict is inevitable. And once again, we don't have much training for that at all. Our educational systems basically ignore that fact of conflict and we don't teach young people how to deal with that. So that's why there's so much angst, I think in people who are trying to make a difference, we basically don't know how. We don't know whether to be hard or soft in our various styles, whether to be linear or circular in the way we approach conflict. So, there's a lot of work to be done there, but I think activism is essential. There's plenty of research to show. It actually improves the quality of our health. When we act on things that we find meaningful, then the body tends to do better. Steve Rush: That's really interesting perspective too, isn't it? Frank Forencich: Mm-Hmm. Steve Rush: And it is that act on something that you're really passionate about, which kind of underpins that whole activism bit, I guess, that what you see in the press and on the TV of activists is usually the far end of, the extreme ends of where people have already been triggered and are probably overplaying that, right? Frank Forencich: Right, yes. And it's easy to focus on the spectacular acts of activism, but there's a lot of invisible activisms that's going on as well. And it may not be spectacular, but there's a lot of work that people are doing currently that is very important and may not be as dramatic. So, we need to keep that in mind as well. Steve Rush: Now, for many of the folk listening to this show, they'll be either leading teams or businesses or even leading themselves. And therefore, from their perspective, what do you see as the certain consequences of them not getting hold of this in terms of their managing their stress and their energy? Frank Forencich: Right, well, there's a whole list of consequences that come when people are under chronic stress. And one of the most interesting for me is called reversion to the familiar. And we all know this in our own personal lives, because if you're having a hard day, what do you want to do? You want to go home and sit in your living room, a place that's familiar to you and you want to read the same books you've always read. You want to watch the same movies that you've always seen. You want to eat the same foods. You want to go back to the familiar and for people who are leading teams, this is also important because maybe you need new ideas. Maybe you need creativity going forward to come up with solutions to the problems you're facing, but the stress, it inclines people to revert to what they already know. And that makes sense, and it's fine in moderation. Steve Rush: Yeah. Frank Forencich: The dose makes the poison here. So, if you go home at the end of a hard day and you revert to the familiar, that's good for you. But if you, do it all the time, you're never going to make any progress. Steve Rush: Ironically, it could even make the stress worse in the future because the gap between the intention and the act gets bigger, right? Frank Forencich: Right, exactly. And that's what we're seeing in the world of climate and ecosystem. Collapse is, that as the stress escalates, people are going to just double down on what they already know, and that's going to make solutions even more difficult to arrive at. Steve Rush: There is a notion too, isn't there. That stress is actually not a bad thing if you get the dose, right? Frank Forencich: Right, and the way I say it is that stress is a frenemy. Steve Rush: I like that. Frank Forencich: And it's a wonderful thing for the body and the mind, small doses of stress are good for us. And this is the job of the teacher, the coach, the therapist, and the leader in an organization is to be precise in how much stress we put people under. And we have yet to really do this in any kind of systematic way. But it's essential to remember that there's an inverse U-Shape curve to this. A little bit of stress is good. A little bit more stress is even better. And then of course there's a tipping point and a reversal where stress becomes bad. But this idea in the standard narrative, that all stress is bad, and that the ideal life is a stress-free life. That's not very helpful. Steve Rush: Is there another word we could switch out for stress? Because I think it actually has a word itself, it's probably unhelpful. Is there another word you might use that would kind of help us think about stress in a positive way? Frank Forencich: Right, and that's a good point because it's been worked so hard in the popular press. Everybody seems to think that they know what it is and it's kind of a pigeonhole problem, right. So, one workaround that I use there is, I talk about our encounter with novelty. So, a little bit of novelty is exciting and therapeutic, young children love novelty, right. And they seek it out. Young adults love novelty, more is better, up to a point. And so, you can think of stress of in the same terms. This is our encounter with novelty. A little bit is good. A little bit more is great. Too much novelty becomes toxic. Steve Rush: I love the reframe because as you've just alluded to, as soon as you mention the word, novelty, people are intrigued. They want to find out. They want to learn a bit more don't they? And that gives them that unconscious permission to dive in a bit deeper. Frank Forencich: Right, and it's an essential part of our creative process is to have that encounter with novelty. But there has to be limits. There has to be guidelines, and there has to be a recognition that you may be encountering too much novelty. And then you've got to take care of yourself. Steve Rush: Maybe you can just take us through some of your tried and tested methods for relieving, some of that stress or some coping mechanism solutions, call it what you will? Frank Forencich: Right, yeah. Well, I've got quite a list here, but the first one of course is to ask the question, is this a real tiger? Or is it not? And that, it seems such a simple approach, but it really works. And it's worked in my life where I'll be worrying about something, and something has dominated my consciousness. And then I take a step back and I say, okay, is this a real threat to my life? Is this a real threat to my future, my welfare? And if the answer is, yes, I have to take action. If the answer is no, I can safely let that thing go. So that's helpful. Steve Rush: That's really powerful, right. Because in that moment, you're able to pretty much evaluate that whole, is it a real threat or not? And therefore, unconsciously will trigger different chemical reactions in our mind, won't it? Frank Forencich: Right, right. And you can always revisit it. You can always reevaluate whether it's a genuine threat or not, but it is a powerful starting point. The other bit of advice that I give people is just to say, give yourself a break. I mean, this climate predicament that we're in, this level of mismatch that everyone is experiencing, this is universal across the planet. It's not just you, [laugh], that's experiencing this. And just knowing that in itself can be helpful. Steve Rush: And if I'm stressed out right now, I'm in the moment, I'm listening to you Frank. What would be the one thing that would enable me to kind of step out of that? Frank Forencich: The scanner prescriptions are quite good here. I mean, focusing on the breath is really good. And the other bit, I think that's really important is just slowing down. This is another part of a modern world. That's so difficult for us is, that a sense of urgency is very contagious among hyper social animals. So, if the people around you are in a big hurry, which is often the case, then that tends to rub off on us. And then we start speeding up as well. So, the reminder here is, whatever you're doing, slow down. Steve Rush: And in your experience, Frank, having traveled the world and worked in different locations, studying, not just humans, but also animals. Is there a blueprint we can look at in the animal kingdom that is replicated in how we behave as human sapien? Frank Forencich: Well, yes. And I had an insight into this when I visited a museum in the American Southwest, and it was a desert museum, and they had all the types of things that you would expect in a desert museum. But we walked around into a courtyard at the museum and there was a large cage there with a wild Jaguar, a wild Panther that had recently been captured. And this was an extraordinary thing to watch that this Panther was pacing back and forth in the cage and exhibiting what you might call hyperactivity or ADHD or whatever you want to call it. The animal was very anxious. And from a modern perspective, you might say, well, that animal was having some sort of a neurological problem or a lifestyle disease or some sort of anxiety disorder. But on the other hand, you look at that animal and say, no, that's an absolutely normal response to being incarcerated. Steve Rush: Yeah. Frank Forencich: And so, for me to look at animals in that kind of situation, and then to look at humans and this epidemic of depression and anxiety that people are experiencing now. I tell people, look, you are not diseased. If you are feeling this way, this is the normal response of a normal animal to these kinds of difficult surroundings. So that's a big stress reliever right there, because. Steve Rush: Yeah. Frank Forencich: Once you realize that your body is behaving the way a normal animal would behave, it's not you [laugh], it's your animal life. And so that I find very helpful. Steve Rush: You do a lot to help people get out of that environment, don't you? So, you use things like movement, your martial arts as an example of that. Just tell us a little bit about how some of those things can help. Frank Forencich: Right, well obviously getting outside is crucial and a lot more people are recommending this now, and it makes sense, but it's not just the experience of being outdoors. It's this psychological identification with nature that I think is what we really need to see as native people have done for a very long time now, this thing called nature is not other, it is actually itself. It is actually us. So, when you look at a forest or you look at the ocean, you look at some natural terrain, that is an extension of you. It's an extension of your body, the native people call this the long buy. So that is a very helpful way to look at this as well. The other part of your question there is, with the movement and the martial arts, this movement in a social setting and touching other human animals that has a very therapeutic effect as well, developing rapport with other people through the body that eases our sense of fear, and it makes us feel great. Steve Rush: Awesome. Really fascinating. I could spend all day picking your brains but. Frank Forencich: [Laugh]. Steve Rush: Unfortunately, we won't have the time. One of the things I would love to do now though, is just to turn the tables a little bit and dive into your brain, thinking about some of the things you've experienced from a leadership perspective over your 30 plus years in teaching leaders and others to get to grips with their human self, what would be your top three leadership hacks? Frank Forencich: Well, the first one, and I love this one because it's kind of counterintuitive, I say, treat people like animals. Steve Rush: [Laugh], right. Frank Forencich: And, for some people, this sounds so surprising. Steve Rush: Yeah. Frank Forencich: And so shocking because when we use that phrase, we were treated like animals. We tend to think that that was a bad thing. We were on the airplane, and they treated us like animals because that's, I guess, what we've done historically is, we've treated animals poorly, but I turn this thing upside down and I take a veterinary approach to leadership or teaching or coaching, any of these things, look at your people, your students, your clients, your patients as animals first and foremost. And if they're coming into your setting and they're already hyper stressed, now you've got to work with that. Maybe they need more stress. Maybe they need less, but you have to look at what their experience is right now. And that is a whole new domain I think of leadership because we have to look at the physical experience and the psychological experience that people are bringing to the setting. Steve Rush: Yeah. Frank Forencich: Now some people have suggested, well, we need to measure their cortisol levels and that would be a technical approach. But they, I think there's another approach there, it's just more humane and means listening better. Steve Rush: Yeah, love it. Frank Forencich: Other leadership hacks. The other one I like from the native and indigenous tradition is called contextual leadership. And this simply means that people are leaders, not across the board, in every situation, but in certain domains. So, you might be a really good leader on the hunt and people in your tribe would recognize that. But when you get back to camp, you might not be such a great leader at preparing food. You might not be such a great leader telling stories around the campfire. Other people are good at that. And this is part of the indigenous tradition that people say, well, you are a leader in this situation, but not in another one. And I think this is something that we can also take to heart and assign and invite people to become leaders in other roles. Steve Rush: Yeah, and if you think of yourself as an animal in a tribe or a pack, they all have their roles to play and that's good old fashioned, situational leadership, isn't it? Frank Forencich: Right, and I think in the modern world, we often get this wrong because we say, if a person is a good leader in one domain, then they must be a good leader in all things, but that's best crazy. Steve Rush: Yeah. Frank Forencich: And then the third leadership hack, I think is, just to recognize the power of story and this is so important because the stress response is driven by our perception and our interpretation of reality, which means there is a story body connection. There is a connection between story and the autonomic nervous system. And if we can change or reframe stories, then we can literally working with people's bodies and we need to be better storytellers. Steve Rush: Love those, their awesome. Thank you, Frank. So, the next part of the show we call Hack to Attack. So, this is typically where something hasn't gone well and maybe been catastrophic, but we've taken the opportunity to learn from it. And now is a force of good in our life or work. What would be your Hack to Attack? Frank Forencich: Right, well, looking back at my life and some of the mistakes I've made, I can trace some of this back to having a poor understanding of what's called the drama triangle. And you may have heard of this, is a popular theme in the world of psychotherapy and counseling, where therapists have recognized a common pattern. And that's when things aren't going well. We tend to describe ourselves as victims. And when we do that, then we typically blame perpetrators for our situation. And then we go in search of rescue. So those are the three points of the drama triangle. And this is a very popular thing [laugh] that people do. And it sucks us in, because we say I'm a victim. There must be a perpetrator out there somewhere. And so, we blame these people or governments or institutions for our unhappiness. And then we'd go looking for rescue from ideas or ideologies or substances, whatever it is. And when we get immersed in this drama triangle, things tend to spiral out control. Steve Rush: Yeah. Frank Forencich: So, the way out of the drama triangle, as most coaches and therapists recommend, they say, look, you have to be creative, stop blaming perpetrators, stop looking for rescue and start focusing on the creation that you want to do in the world. Steve Rush: Nice. Frank Forencich: And that took me some years to realize Steve Rush: [Laugh], it's nice. I like it a lot, yeah. So that last part I show Frank, we get to do with you is taking you on some time travel. You get to bump into yourself with 21 and you get to give yourself some advice. What do you think it might be? Frank Forencich: Yes, well, I would say to my 21-year-old self, that taking responsibility, and this goes back to the drama triangle. Taking responsibility is powerful because the more you take on the more meaningful life becomes. Steve Rush: Mm. Frank Forencich: And you don't have to just take responsibility for your own personal life. No, you take responsibility for the entire world. And so, for example, I didn't cause climate change, I don't cause racism or sexism or xenophobia or anything, but I do want to take responsibility for those things in the world and doing what I can. So that is a path towards meaning and that is a path towards fulfillment. And my 21-year-old self really would've benefited from that. Steve Rush: Yeah, mine too. I think [laugh], wise words. So, what's next for you then Frank, on your journey? Frank Forencich: Well, I'm really excited about this book about martial artistry and activism. The title is The Enemy is Never Wrong and I'm excited about the title because this is a teaching that I had from a martial art teacher some years ago. And he advised us to stop getting emotionally involved in the rightness or wrongness of our opponents. He said, look, whatever the enemy does is just what you have to work with. Don't get attached to any particular strategy or outcome. You have to just take the enemy as is, that's a good teaching there. And that's something that we can do as activists. Steve Rush: Yeah. Frank Forencich: So, I'm really excited about that title and that concept and that's where I'll be going for the next year. Steve Rush: Excellent, and I love that notion as well, because more often not, you can get so easily involved in the problem or the solution rather than just seeing it as it is, which when we wind it back to 1.1, being present and in the moment stops those false tigers, doesn't it? Frank Forencich: Yeah. Yeah. It's a powerful teaching, so. Steve Rush: Awesome, so how can our listeners get copies of many of your books and indeed find out a little bit more about the work you do beyond our conversation? Frank Forencich: Right, well, it's easy to remember the website. It's all there, it's exuberantanimal.com and if you type in exuberant animal, you'll get it. Steve Rush: Cool, and we'll put those any links you have to the various books and work you have in our show notes as well Frank. Frank Forencich: Nice, nice. Steve Rush: I've really enjoyed chatting. It's such a fantastic parallel to our world and your work has brought it into the world of business because it's a real thing. We all have tigers. Some of them and in fact more of them are probably more false than real. Frank Forencich: Right. Steve Rush: And just understanding them and being able to deal with those can help us become better leaders and better people to work with.

Communication is hard. Like most things, we try to oversimplify it by turning "understanding" into a black and white, binary state. Communication and understanding is, however, a spectrum. Singular messages are low resolution, and it's our job when communicating with each other to increase the resolution of our communication. We talk about a simple framework for doing just that in today's episode.
