BTTY BitesNo. 1—“Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be.” - Enders GameNo. 2—“If we look outside of ourselves for relief from our own predicament, we are sure to come up short." - Mark EpsteinNo. 3—Don't ask for feedback. That gets you a critic. Ask for advice. That will get you an accomplice.A ThoughtWhen I was in college, I bought my first computer. It was a Gateway and came in that iconic dairy cow-colored box. Back then, and this was 25 years ago, you went to the store, and they helped you configure your computer. You picked the hard drive size, memory, and graphics card. They always asked you, “What will you be using this for?”They ask this question because they want to help you make sure the inside of the computer, the stuff most of the world never sees, has the right components to run programs to produce the work the world does see. You select things like memory (RAM), CPU, hard drive capacity, and graphics card. All of these work together with programs and the computer's operating system (OS) to create outputs.The OS manages how the computer's hardware and software work together, coordinating resources like memory, processing power, and storage. It handles everything from basic tasks like showing things on your screen to making sure different programs can run without interfering with each other. These capabilities determine the computer's capacity - what it can do, how fast it can do it, and how much it can handle at once. Sometimes, it reaches its operating capacity.You've experienced a computer at its capacity. The most memorable occasions are when an icon starts spinning, and you suddenly realize you haven't hit save in a couple of hours - then the program suddenly closes. System crash. So sorry.Just like a computer's physical and psychological capabilities constrain our capacity, if we don't pay attention, we will start spinning and ultimately crash.System CrashFive years ago, my system crashed. Like a computer running too many programs with insufficient RAM, I was struggling with work, mood, and relationships. That's when I started thinking about my operating system and how it either improved or degraded my capacity to perform. Something had to change.Personal Operating SystemOur personal OS should help us manage energy, prioritize tasks, manage resources and resource drains, force quit stuck programs (internal narratives), and prevent overload. Importantly, a good OS working with the right internal components can help you operate at your innate peak capacity - or, said differently - your potential.It's likely your personal OS runs in the background with little attention. Over years or decades, you have established routines—the sum of your habits. Roll over in the morning and check your phone—habit. Kiss your partner good night every night—habit. Everything you do is either improving or degrading your capacity. When the demands exceed capacity, the system crashes. This ranges from simple burnout to more serious consequences.The Inside-Out RuleThe inside-out rule states that external impact cannot sustainably exceed internal capacity. If your internal capacity is 7, your external impact cannot sustainably exceed 7. We can have sprints of 8 or 9, but we can't stay there. The system will crash. If you want your external impact to be a 9 over a long period, you must improve your internal capacity to a 9. One way to do this is by improving your personal operating system.Ultimately, this comes down to inside work vs outside work. It's easy to focus on the outside work because that is what the rest of the world sees, what's easy to measure, and where we get external validation. It comes with the temptation to push our outside work harder for more results. The secret is that the inside work often needs attention to unlock what you can do on the outside. The challenge is it's a solo journey that happens over decades.My Personal Operating SystemHere's my operating system—I'm not trying to prescribe anything here; I'm just sharing what I've learned works for me. I'm doing this primarily because I've been giving it lots of thought lately. It feels like it needs some changes, but here it is anyway.System Foundation* Sleep—I need 7-8 hours, or I'm toast. I can 4-6 hours, but not for long stretches. When I start getting impatient and reactionary, and stress becomes less manageable, I need more sleep. * Relationships—It took me way too many years to really understand how important this is. When I'm connected with my people, it helps me work through anything that comes our way. This applies at work, too. Having teammates at work who I genuinely enjoy being around and connected to improves everything.System Stability* Morning Routine (The Boot-Up)—I need quiet time in the morning. I try not to jump into problems for the first few hours. This routine is everything to me, so I head to bed early, even if I miss out on some night plans. If you want the best of me during the day, I need this time to boot up right.* Solitude—I'm an introvert, and once 6:30-7 AM hits, it's people time all day. I try to find little pockets of quiet time throughout the day, week, and year to renew. Unlike what popular books say, you'll catch me eating alone.Energy* Sweat - Long runs outside do it for me. No matter what else happened that day, at least I did that. I love the sore feeling from weights, too. Recently, I worked out with a good buddy, and that's a great hack.* Consuming Well - I love french fries, but my mitochondria get sad when I eat poorly. A good workout lets me enjoy the occasional cheat day guilt-free. Also, hydration and what I eat matter for my focus. Alcohol kills my sleep, so I save wine for special nights with Princess Buttercup (almost exclusively). Plus, I killed most social media - no social apps on my phone is a game-changer. People can text me links if they want to share stuff.* Making Things—Creating something new makes me feel like I've done something. It's hard to explain, but it gives me energy.* Nature - Getting outside matters to me. Winter was tough until I decided to embrace it - now I'll bundle up and sit out there even when it's 12 degrees. Please give me a patch of grass to lie on during a spring day with some sunshine. Perfect.System Enhancements* Collecting Aha's—Whether reading or hearing someone's story, learning helps me get better - ideally, find more truth.* Reflection—I try to “defrag my hard drive” by thinking about what's happened, what's happening, and what should happen next. Journaling almost daily helps, as does therapy. It's all about finding truth, but reflection without action is just wasted wisdom.Again, I'm not being prescriptive or trying to show you what I do (and sometimes don't do). I don't have any answers for you, but I have years of thinking about this proactively and refining mine. We are all different, and our OSs should reflect that. Sometimes, my OS runs smoothly, and sometimes, it crashes. But at least now I know where to look when things start spinning. I've been doing some system monitoring to determine what parts of my OS need upgrading. What's your OS doing for you?If you want to explore this, take an hour away from the inputs—just you and your thoughts and maybe some scratch paper. Not to journal, meditate, or any other prescribed solution, but to honestly examine which parts of your personal OS are due for an upgrade or some new code.Be good.Kelly This is a public episode.

In this episode of the Fallible Man Podcast, host Brent discusses the importance of personal development for men and provides practical steps to get started on the journey of self-improvement. Brent emphasizes the importance of identifying one area in your life where you can grow, understanding the reason behind this need, and breaking down goals into manageable steps. He shares his personal experience of realizing financial illiteracy and starting his own growth journey. Brent highlights eight key steps for effective personal development: identifying the area of growth, admitting the need for improvement, breaking goals into achievable pieces, incremental growth, making it easier, regular evaluation, celebrating milestones, and persistence. The episode also includes references to relevant resources and past episodes for listeners who want to dive deeper into specific aspects of personal growth. Men's personal development is important for several reasons: 1.    Personal Growth: Engaging in personal development helps men grow as individuals by identifying strengths and weaknesses, setting goals, and working towards self-improvement. 2.    Health and Well-being: It contributes to better mental and emotional health by promoting self-awareness, stress management, and coping skills. 3.    Relationships: It enhances relationships by fostering better communication, empathy, and understanding of oneself and others. 4.    Role Modeling: Men who actively pursue personal development can serve as positive role models for their peers, families, and communities, encouraging others to do the same. 5.    Career Success: It often leads to improved career prospects by enhancing skills such as leadership, decision-making, and adaptability. 6.    Life Satisfaction: Ultimately, personal development helps men lead more fulfilling lives by aligning their actions with their values, creating a sense of purpose, and achieving meaningful goals. Overall, participating in men's personal development is about embracing continuous growth, improving quality of life, and positively influencing those around them.

Today's episode is a deep dive into the concept of purity culture. Many women have expressed feeling damaged by the pressure to remain pure or to marry someone with whom they had sex before marriage. Leslie and Julie discuss what purity culture is and its impact on individuals. Defining Purity Culture: Purity culture is rooted in the belief that sex outside of marriage is wrong, based on biblical teachings. It emphasizes the importance of keeping oneself sexually pure until marriage and the sanctity of the marital relationship. God designed marriage to be a safe and trusting environment for raising healthy children and enjoying sexual pleasure within the bounds of commitment. Purity Culture Practices: Purity culture often includes practices like purity rings, purity proms, and events where fathers give their daughters purity rings. Young girls pledge to abstain from any form of physical intimacy until marriage. The culture places the burden of maintaining sexual integrity mainly on women, with the notion that men struggle with self-control and must be protected from temptation through modest dress. Impact on Women's Self-esteem: Purity culture can lead to many negative consequences, such as deeply wounding women's self-esteem. Women who have had sexual experiences outside of marriage or have been victims of abuse may be made to feel like they are "damaged goods." The culture can perpetuate the idea that a woman's worth is tied to her sexual purity, leading to emotional distress and low self-esteem for those who "don't keep the standard." Marriage and "One Flesh" Teaching: Some individuals were taught that, if they had sex before marriage, they were already married in God's eyes, which led to unhappy marriages. Leslie and Julie express their disapproval of this teaching, emphasizing that one mistake doesn't justify making another. Marriage is a lifetime commitment, but marrying someone who is untrustworthy or unsafe is not the solution to past mistakes or abuses. Consequences of Purity Culture: Purity culture can create unrealistic expectations about sex within marriage. Some women have faced blame for their husbands' infidelity or pornography use if they don't meet certain sexual expectations. The culture can lead to a skewed sense of responsibility and guilt, especially in cases of sexual abuse or rape. Dressing Modestly and Respect: The conversation touches on the importance of dressing modestly and respecting oneself. While dressing modestly can help prevent unwanted attention, a person's behavior and choices are their own responsibility. No one invites rape through their clothing choices, and the focus should be on respecting oneself rather than preventing others from thinking inappropriate thoughts. Overcoming Guilt and Shame: Women who feel burdened by guilt and shame due to past mistakes are encouraged to make empowered choices moving forward. Making a mistake doesn't define one's worth or future; it's an opportunity for growth and learning. "Stupid tax" is the price we pay for our mistakes, and it's crucial to learn from those experiences. Balancing Teaching in the Home: Parents need to have open and honest discussions with their children about sex, relationships, boundaries, and self-respect. Teach children to value themselves and their bodies, emphasizing the importance of making conscious and respectful choices. Parents should help their children understand that they have control over their bodies and should exercise self-control. Church's Role in Teaching: The discussion touches on the role of the church in teaching abstinence and purity. Churches should model healthy relationships and provide education on respect, boundaries, and conflict resolution. Youth pastors can play a crucial role in educating teens about healthy relationships and values. Equality in Relationships: It's crucial that both males and females are taught that they are made in God's image and deserve respect and dignity. Toxic masculinity and toxic femininity within the church are issues that need to be addressed. The focus should be on fostering healthy relationships and values, not on controlling or objectifying individuals. Sins and Cherry-picking: The discussion explores the idea that some sins are prioritized over others within the church. All sins should be addressed, not just those related to sexual purity. Gluttony and abuse of power are examples of sins that are sometimes overlooked. It's important to remember that God's rules are for our well-being, not to restrict us. Boundaries and Freedom: God's rules are guidelines for our well-being, rather than limitations on our freedom. Understanding why these rules exist can help individuals embrace them with a positive perspective. Resources: Join Empowered to Change: www.leslievernick.com/change

The topic of relationships come up often in my conversations on Camera Ready & Abel. This is no surprise since media and entertainment are relationship-driven industries. People like to work with people they know and trust to to get the work done on time, on budget and well executed. It's also a fact that media and entertainment are referral driven businesses, and people recommend people they know, like, and trust. So I've pulled together a best-of featuring snippets from my conversations with Emily Grace, J.D. Durkin, Buki Elegbede, and Matthew Hoffman who all advanced their careers in MAJOR ways by nurturing relationships that turned into opportunities because of the people who knew them.  Career coach and Sundance award-winning actress, Emily Grace, tells us how she got her break as an actor, in the role that won her the award at Sundance, without an agent! J.D. Durkin, host and reporter at the New York Stock Exchange for the financial news site The Street who previously created the Washington Bureau for Cheddar News when he was their White House correspondent explains how he came to Washington as an outsider with zero contacts and developed key relationships by being patient and doing simple things that no one else seemed to be doing. Television host, producer and journalist, Buki Elegbede, moved from behind the camera to in front when he won PBS' Create Cooking Challenge and it was the relationships that were formed there that helped launch him to the next level and create Table For All with Buki Elegbede which was nominated for multiple Emmy awards this year! TV host, media personality and popular narrator, Matthew Hoffman, got his big break when he was invited to audition to be the official narrator of the US version of the UK TV smash Love Island. Matthew was competing with household name talent and felt there was absolutely no way he was ever going to book the job, but he was so honored to be invited to audition that he decided to go all out for it, not to get hired, but to maintain his relationship with the casting team and production company so that they would call him again for the next opportunity. Matthew's story inspires me every time I listen to it. Matthew, like Buki, knows his being industrious is a superpower. My conversations with Emily, J.D., Buki, and Matthew are bound together by the phrase, Relationships: It's Who Knows You!  If you are looking for help tapping into your super-powers and advancing your career, I am here for you!

So why is there power in a simple and easily repeatable statement? Our brains love simplicity because complexity burns too many calories and wears us out. There is so much power in developing mantras or easy to remember phrases for your life and leadership. Mental Health & Relationships: It helps you with your mental health and your self-talk and it helps you with your relationships and communication. So to help you with your mental health and your relationships, develop a few mantras to help you slow your roll in your thought life so you don't jump to conclusions and spiral out of control emotionally…and out of control emotions always lead to unhealthy or out of control behavior. Goals and Culture: Mantras help you with providing clarity of your goals and the culture you want to build within your family or organization. You've got to simplify the goal and simplify the expectations of the culture. Build your goals and expectations and then develop an easy to remember mantra to remind your team or employees of those big concept principles. By creating easy to repeat mantras you not only create reminders for yourself and your team, but also battle cries to stay focused on what matters most (your essential rocks) when chaos surrounds you. Write your mantras on sticky notes and post them around your computer monitor so you see them every day so you remember that you have a choice in what you think…therefore you have a choice in what and who you are.

RAISING CHILDREN -  Chapter 2 | Love and Relationships: It is important to remember that it is everyone's purpose in the world to discover the Knowledge that God has placed within them and to do this to the best of their abilities, given their circumstances and their opportunities for contribution.

Mike Grover (Lead Pastor; Fellowship Baptist Church, FL) - 2 Corinthians 2:1-11 (1 Corinthians 5:2; 2 Corinthians 2:1-11; Romans 12:18; James 1:19; Ephesians 4:32; Acts 9:13-15, 17-19 & 26)   Hurt is inevitable in relationships.   We say things that we end up regretting. We argue and say things that hurt those that we love. These things cause bitterness, division, and brokenness. Satan loves relationships to be splintered because of bitterness.   God gives us hope to restore hurt and broken relationships. Check out what the Bible says about bitterness and forgiveness in our relationships. This can be a game-changer in your relationships!   Relationships :: It's Complicated Dealing with Bitterness & Forgiveness "You really hurt me!" 2 Corinthians 2:1-11   I. Accept the inevitability of conflict   II. Learn to deal with the fallout of unresolved conflict. A. Resolving conflict requires an act of forgiveness. B. Resolving conflict requires a context of sincerity. C. Resolving conflict requires a commitment of change.

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Ephesians 4 (Genesis 1:3, 20, 24 & 26; 3:1; John 1:1 & 14; Hebrews 4:12; Romans 8:6; 10:17; Proverbs 15:1-2; 18:6 & 21; Ephesians 4:2-3, 15, 26-27, 29-30 & 32; 5:25; 6:1 & 4; Luke 6:45)   Relationships were created by God to make us better, bring glory to God, and fulfill the mission of God. God gave us a powerful tool to build relationships…words! We probably don’t think of words as being a tool, but they were created by God to bring us together. What complicates relationships is when we use this tool to hurt rather than build. Relationships have been destroyed because of how we use our words, in the wrong way. Do you use your words to bring glory to God? Do you use your words to help others? You might be surprised to discover what God has commanded concerning words and relationships.   Relationships :: It's Complicated The Power of Words "What did you say?!" Ephesians 4   I. Do you use your words to hurt?   II. Do you use your words to help? A. Your words should help build up people. B. Your words should minister God's grace. C. Your words should be filtered by the Holy Spirit.

A good salesperson knows how to nurture “No” into “Yes”. Hearing No in the sales world is common regardless of what you sell or to whom you're selling to. When you hear a no, you can't just back down and give up. You need to get back on track and fix it.  Craig Klein is based in Houston and he works in the energy business. He used to make deals with large oil companies and the deals would take a year or more to close. With that period of time and the level of complexity of every sale, he sought help from others.  He began Sales Nexus to address that inefficiency. Today, his company helps other businesses to grow and aims to help everyone in the community give their fair share of making their community a better place to live.  No is difficult to hear  Craig was trained by Dave Blanchard for awhile. Dave does executive training and he talks a lot about our need to be right. Humans as we are, once the idea is planted in our head and we start dreaming about it, the idea becomes real. If that idea is taken away, we end up getting hurt.  It is the same with sales. We meet our clients with big plans for closing the deal but when we turn up, we are told no and that hurts. There's a lot of burnout in the sales position because sales reps tend to make many phone calls and end up getting No. The thing about it is that when we hear No, we tend to take a step back and sometimes, we don't ever make a step forward again.  Nurture “No” into “Yes” Salespeople need to learn to be a bit aware of themselves and to focus on the customers' needs, not on what they need. It's also important to realize that sometimes, the prospects say “No” not because they don't want to do business with you. They may be tied to a contract to your competitor or now may not be a good time.  The primary way to nurture “No” into “Yes” is to have a sales strategy that makes you stay engaged with the prospects and build relationships over time. #Relationships It's not efficient to just focus on who you can close this month, it's also about focusing on the people you can close deals with in due time.  Stay in touch  For every No you get, you make sure to take their name, their email address, their phone number, and keep it somewhere safe. You always have to write down everything you have learned from this customer including their budget cycle and their needs. Then, you create a system that allows you to keep connecting with time and getting them engaged. Check them out every once in a while and ask them how they're doing. Let them know that you're there.  Meanwhile, you can find somebody else who is ready right now. Just keep nurturing and keep moving forward.  Change your mindset that you will close every deal you have because that won't happen. Instead, think of every appointment as a way of establishing a relationship based on trust. Resonate to them that you came not just to close but to understand what their needs are.  Salespeople are like doctors. Physicians don't sell their service in a way that's too in your face. They diagnose their patients and examine what is something wrong with them. They then show you the patients how they can help with the problem.  The same is true for salespeople. We examine their problem and we show them how we can help. You don't sell the product the moment you meet them. You warm them up and figure out what they need first before presenting your options.  The automated email drip campaign  Craig's Sales Nexus Platform uses an automated email drip campaign in order to stay in touch with their potential customers. They take every lead and put it into their system and into an automated email drip campaign. The potential clients don't just get generic emails, they get personalized email depending on what they need.  When the time is right for them, they'd click on the link to their site and they'll be notified by it. This is their time to give them a call and ask them if anything has changed.  One of Craig's clients used the auto-drip campaign and things have been better for them now. They used to have sales reps call chiropractors all day long but these professionals are busy and they don't look at their phones most times of the day. Then they started putting the chiropractors' name on the system, they searched for their needs, and on the things they focus on. They are then placed on their appropriate auto-drip where they get emails that are relevant to their needs. When they interact with the emails, the company is being notified and they get to start pitching again. The auto-drip system allows them to build relationships with prospects without compromising their sales rep's manpower.  There other ways to do it. Some are using the typical marketing system and sends out weekly or monthly emails to their list. Others also hire someone whose job is to focus on making mails and sending them out.  “How to Nurture "No" Into "Yes"  episode resources  Reach out to Craig Klein by visiting his website.

SEX AND SEXUALITY - Love and Relationships: It is important that We address the issue of sex and sexual relationships. This is such an important part of the human experience and such an area of confusion and misappropriation that it must be addressed as a significant part of any approach to living a more meaningful and more powerful life. Human sexuality is a potent force, and it is an appropriate one for certain people within certain circumstances. It is something that is greatly misunderstood, something around which much misunderstanding has been cast, something that must be clarified if you are to begin the great journey of discovering Knowledge, the deeper intelligence that the Creator of all life has given you, and if you are to follow this Knowledge and to learn to express it and to render its gifts into the world, which is your purpose.

“Carnal embrace is the practice of throwing one's arms around a side of beef.” ― Tom Stoppard, Arcadia The beast lopes across the face of a barren world. An entire civilization festers beneath its skin. To learn more about how Downfall is played check out our primer episode. The Haven:  The Glorge is a gargantuan creature of flesh that lumbers blindly, on multiple limbs, across the face of the world. In the dripping moist layer, between the thick folds of its skin and its oily pulsing muscle and flesh, an entire society has formed. The Traditions: Birth: Everyone in the haven can carry offspring and become pregnant. It is a little strange to not be pregnant. The spheres in their bodies of developing children are mirrored in the symbol of the cornucopia spilling grapes and fruits that is ever present in the iconography of the culture. Communication: The common greeting is to make out with the person you're greeting. In this ritual you also exchange a metallic lozenge with a name etched on it. These are referred to as candies. Justice: Secrets are the currency of the society. An entire 'secret' police force and the encouragement of gossip makes information a commodity and a liability. This behavior is encouraged by the allocation of sweet vat-grown tongue meat. Death: A death that explores the heights of delicious pain and pleasure is a good death. There is an oil derived from growths plucked deep from the Glorge that offers altered and heightened perception and is used exclusively for death seeking. Entertainment: The coming-of-age ceremony begins when the brood of children reaches the age of consent and partakes in a race into the depths of the Glorge to retrieve the largest cysts. The victor is named Master of Flesh and the others who survive the ordeal are granted a name etched metal 'candy' lozenge. Relationships: It is forbidden to make emotional connections to others. People play games where they toy with others to make them have an emotional attachment. The only way to ceremonially purge this is to grow a vestigial heart and present it to the object of affection. The Characters: The Hero: Sheer, a Feel Agent for the secret police, has heightened senses in their tongue. They are a bit different in the society in that they have empathy that draws them towards reciprocation instead of playing games with other people's emotions. The Fallen:  Master of Tongues, the leader of the secret police, seeks to maintain their control on the society. The Pillar: Bloom, a peer from the same trial as the hero, works in the processing of the psychotropic Oil Macabre.

“People who live in society have learnt how to see themselves, in mirrors, as they appear to their friends. I have no friends: is that why my flesh is so naked?”  ― Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea The beast lopes across the face of a barren world. An entire civilization festers beneath its skin.

Mike Agugliaro wants you to be prepared and ready for 2018. The time is now for you to take action and make 2018 an amazing year. Key Lessons Learned: Planning Your Day Whatever you believe you can achieve. Look at the habits of the most successful people in the world. Success leaves clues and you should adopt the habits that have made those people who they are. The first week of the year should be a powerful week, not a week where everyone is off to a slow start. All of people are doing the right things at the wrong time. You need to focus on the tasks that move the needle. When planning your day, ask what are the top 3 things you want to get done and what is the return on investment and return on time for those tasks. Next, you have to think about the top 3 things that are going to help you accomplish those tasks. Most of the fires that you deal with are based off of poor planning. Hold people accountable so that you can keep making progress instead of constantly reminding your team how to do the things they are already supposed to be doing. Only see the outcome you desire. Relationships It’s important for your family to see you working hard. To see your focus and passion for creating and building something of value. The first H is “are your family and friends Helping you?” Some people around you are supportive of your journey of growth and some of them and negative towards. They’re not fearful of your success, but whether or not they will be able to communicate with you. The second H is “are your family and friends Hurting you?”. The third H is “are your family and friends Holding you back?”. Sometimes, the people around you will question your motivation and actions and try to keep you from achieving what you want. The minute you stop doing anything, you begin dying. Aim to be less judgemental and more curious about people around you. Work as hard as you can, but if your family needs you make sure that you put them first. Business You can’t build a 10 million dollar business as a 5 million dollar leader. Some people find success and then become greedy and lazy and allow it all to fall apart. They aren’t ready for their success. Some business owners grow so fast they try to market everything. Without a world class brand and leadership that acts like they are leading a world class business, it will all explode in their face. If you are not congruent with the truth, it is very hard to move forward. Give your business cards to everyone. Be hungrier than everyone else, be on Facebook and LinkedIn and become the expert. The number one way to blow up your business is affiliate marketing. Find other companies that don’t do what you do, partner with them and do an affiliate program. Having a zen space where you work can help, but you should try to be able to get into a zen space wherever you happen to be. If your culture is aligned to your vision, you won’t have to have a separate space. Be the credibility expert, be brave and own social media. Believe in yourself and set a big target for 2018.
