Podcasts about Repetition

In this deeply honest and energizing conversation, Dr. Tim Trinh joins Aaron to unpack his journey of daily content creation, personal growth, and finding purpose through consistency. Tim opens up about what motivated him to start sharing his thoughts online, the internal resistance he faced, and how reframing content as a form of legacy—not just marketing—changed everything. Together, they reflect on how storytelling and vulnerability are not only powerful for an audience but transformative for the creator. Tim shares how the teachings from Dan Martell's Buy Back Your Time—including the five daily non-negotiables—helped shape his mindset, especially around the importance of physical and mental fortitude, daily reflection, and posting with authenticity. You'll hear how his running routine became a metaphor and method for mental clarity, how his kids and even his nanny became unexpected sources of feedback, and how true fulfillment comes from being yourself out loud—even when it's uncomfortable. This episode isn't just about content creation; it's about identity, courage, and the liberating realization that success, impact, and personal peace lie on the other side of repetition.

An episode that is not about inflexibility—it's about emotional safety, sensory regulation, and being authentically ourselves in a world that often feels chaotic!In Episode 147 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr. Angela Kingdon explores Pillar 8 of Autistic Culture: Predictably Comforting, with special guest Daria Brown, author of We Chose Play: Raising an Autistic Child to Thrive and Feel Understood.Daria Brown has a Master's degree in Personality and Social Psychology. She has worked in the field of research, evaluation, and education for over 30 years at universities, not-for-profits, and government.Together, they discuss why predictability, routine, and familiarity are not only comforting but essential in autistic lives.This episode is especially meaningful for autistic listeners, families, and advocates who want to gain a deeper understanding of why consistency matters so deeply in autistic culture. Here's what defines this core Autistic trait:* Autistic Brains Crave PredictabilityOur nervous systems seek regulation over novelty. Familiar patterns reduce overwhelm and foster inner peace.* Routine as Emotional SafetyAutistic routines—like watching the same show, eating familiar foods, or repeating daily rituals—aren't rigid. They're tools for stability, helping manage emotional and sensory overload.* Cultural Examples of Comforting Predictability* Thomas the Tank Engine's structured stories* Dino Nuggets' consistent texture and taste* Andy Warhol's daily green underwear and soup-can art* Repetition as a Strength, Not a SymptomFrom stimming to re-watching favorite shows, repetition brings grounding comfort. It supports emotional regulation and fosters creativity.

In this timely solo episode, Chanie Wilschanski shares a powerful leadership truth every school owner and director needs to hear as the new year begins: what you tolerate in August becomes the culture you're stuck managing by February.This isn't just a motivational pep talk—it's a wake-up call. As classrooms buzz with fresh energy and bulletin boards get a glow-up, your old leadership reflexes start creeping back in. The skipped 1:1s, the ignored red flags, the well-meaning rescues? They're not small moments. They're culture-setting decisions that will quietly shape your entire year.You'll learn how to lead with rhythm instead of reactivity, shift your team's expectations through consistency (not speeches), and install rituals that hold your culture steady—even when the chaos kicks in.What You'll LearnWhy back-to-school energy masks deeper leadership reflexesThe invisible patterns that shape school culture more than your speechesThe difference between rescuing and rhythm—and how to choose wiselyHow to stop trading your boundaries for short-term order3 specific August moves that build long-term ease and clarityHow to lead without becoming the emotional center of your schoolKey Insights1. Culture Isn't Built by What You Say—It's Built by What You NormalizeThe kickoff speech doesn't shape the culture. What you protect and what you let slide in August quietly creates the tone your team will carry into February.2. Rescuing in August = Burnout by OctoberJumping in every time someone is overwhelmed might feel helpful—but it silently teaches your team that leadership equals emotional labor and unpredictability.3. Back-to-School Is Not a Fresh Start—It's a MirrorYour patterns will show up early. Canceling a 1:1, skipping an accountability moment, or “letting it slide” may seem harmless, but they're the seeds of future burnout.4. Leadership Happens in Repetition, Not ReactionWhat you do consistently is what your team learns to expect. Stop trying to be everywhere—start being predictable in the right places.Try This Instead: 3 August Shifts That Anchor Long-Term CultureIf you want this year to feel different, you don't need a new checklist. You need a new rhythm. Here are three moves to make in August that will shape your leadership for the rest of the year:1. Protect One Ritual at All CostsChoose one leadership rhythm—like weekly 1:1s, classroom walks, or a team huddle—and commit to protecting it. Even in chaos. Especially in chaos. It tells your team: “We don't abandon connection when things get busy. We anchor in it.”2. Install a Weekly “Culture Check”Every Friday, ask yourself:What did I tolerate this week?What did I repeat on purpose?What culture am I writing through my actions?Culture isn't what you say on Monday. It's what you normalize all week.3. Anchor Your Own EnergyPick one small rhythm that fuels you—like a lunch walk, a 5-minute journaling practice, or a coffee check-in with a mentor.Because when you're regulated, you lead from vision—not vigilance.Memorable Quotes“Leadership isn't what you say—it's what you normalize.” – Chanie Wilschanski “You don't need more visibility. You need more predictability.” – Chanie Wilschanski “Excellence is built through rhythm, not reaction.” – Chanie WilschanskiWhy It Matters for School LeadersPrevents emotional and operational burnout midyearCreates team-wide predictability, not dependencyShifts the culture silently—through consistent, visible...

We stop fear's growth by cutting off its food source, which is repetition.

Part 1 Anti-Oedipus by Gilles Deleuze Summary"Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia" is a foundational text in post-structuralist thought, co-authored by French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, published in 1972. The work critiques traditional Freudian psychoanalysis and incorporates concepts from Marxism, anthropology, and philosophy. Here's a summary of its main ideas:Rejection of Oedipus ComplexDeleuze and Guattari challenge the centrality of the Oedipus complex in understanding human psychology and social dynamics. They argue that this Freudian concept narrows the complexity of desire and reduces it to familial and sexual determinants.Desire as ProductiveThe authors propose that desire should be seen as a productive force rather than simply a lack or deficit. They coined the term "desiring-production" to describe the way desires create social and economic realities. Instead of repressing desires, societies channel and structure them through various institutions (family, state, capital).Capitalism and SchizophreniaThe title itself suggests a link between capitalism and schizophrenia as systems that disrupt conventional forms of organization. They argue that capitalism liberates desire by breaking down traditional social bonds but simultaneously re-imposes new forms of control. This paradox creates a schizophrenic state where individuals oscillate between freedom and constraint.Assemblages and MultiplicityDeleuze and Guattari introduce the concept of "assemblages"—a collection of heterogeneous elements that come together to form a whole. They emphasize a multiplicity of identities and desires that exist outside rigid categorizations, arguing against essentialist views of human nature.Anti-AuthoritarianismThroughout the text, there's an anti-authoritarian sentiment. They encourage a radical rethinking of societal structures and promote the idea of reforming anything that confines desire—ranging from family units to the state and capitalist economies.SchizoanalysisInstead of psychoanalysis, they propose "schizoanalysis" as a method for understanding desire and social relationships. Schizoanalysis aims to liberate desire from societal constraints and explore how it interacts with broader social and economic forces. Conclusion"Anti-Oedipus" serves as a manifesto for rethinking desire, identity, and power in contemporary societies. It challenges readers to consider how psychoanalysis can be expanded beyond family dynamics to encompass a broader understanding of desire's role in shaping both individual subjectivity and societal structure. This work laid the foundation for further exploration of these themes in their subsequent collaboration, "A Thousand Plateaus." Overall, "Anti-Oedipus" invites a radical rethinking of how desire functions within capitalism and opens the door to new ways of conceptualizing human interaction and social organization.Part 2 Anti-Oedipus AuthorGilles Deleuze was a French philosopher born on January 18, 1925, and he passed away on November 4, 1995. He is widely known for his work in philosophy, particularly his contribution to postmodernism and post-structuralism. Deleuze's collaborative work with psychoanalyst Félix Guattari significantly influenced various fields, including philosophy, literature, film, and cultural studies. Anti-OedipusRelease Date: "Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia," co-authored with Félix Guattari, was first published in French in 1972.This book is a foundational text of their two-volume series titled "Capitalism and Schizophrenia" and is often regarded as a seminal work in the fields of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and social theory. Other Notable WorksGilles Deleuze wrote several influential books, some of which include:Difference and Repetition (1968) This book offers a...

Have you ever wondered how you can have it all in your life and business?

In this Episode: In this episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discuss the importance of improving memory in an increasingly technology-dependent world. They emphasize that memory is like a muscle that needs to be exercised and that relying too heavily on technology can hinder its development. Here are three actionable tips from the podcast to improve your memory: 1. Engage Multiple Senses To solidify memories, involve as many senses as possible. For instance, when trying to remember a name, don't just hear it; try writing it down or saying it aloud (naturally) during the conversation. For tasks like remembering a grocery list, visualizing yourself picking up the items in the store, or even drawing diagrams while taking notes, can significantly enhance recall. The more senses you engage, the stronger the memory connection becomes. 2. Create Vivid Mental Images and Stories Transforming information into imaginative and even illogical stories can make it more memorable. When trying to remember something like a phone number, break it into chunks and weave a narrative around those numbers. Similarly, when setting goals, create a vivid story in which you are the hero achieving them. The more bizarre or emotionally resonant the story, the more likely you are to recall the information. 3. Practice Active Recall and Spaced Repetition Actively retrieving information from your memory and reviewing it at increasing intervals are powerful techniques. For example, after taking notes, review them later the same day, then again, the next morning, and once more in the afternoon and evening. This spaced repetition helps lock information into long-term memory. Applying this to goals means regularly reviewing them so they become ingrained in your subconscious. This method is far more effective than cramming, ensuring that important information, from daily tasks to long-term aspirations, remains accessible in your mind.

"Marketing Meets Hypnosis: Influence, Intuition & Impact"Episode Summary:In this solo episode, Mind Power Meets Mystic co-host Michelle Walters steps into the spotlight to explore the unexpected but deeply connected worlds of marketing and hypnotherapy. With over 20 years in marketing and a thriving hypnotherapy practice, Michelle breaks down the 5 core similarities and 5 critical differences between these seemingly opposite practices.From the power of suggestion and emotion, to the importance of repetition and storytelling, Michelle reveals how both fields deeply influence our behaviors, often bypassing logic and speaking directly to our subconscious minds. You'll hear how hypnosis works through intentional consent and how marketing thrives on mass influence, and you'll learn how each field uniquely uses customization, depth, and practitioner connection to create transformation—whether in your mind or your buying habits.Plus, Michelle and co-host Cinthia Varkevisser share a behind-the-scenes look at their signature session, Mind Power Meets Mystic: The Project—a unique blend of intuitive clarity and personalized hypnotherapy designed to get you unstuck and moving with power.Key Topics Covered:Why marketing and hypnosis are more alike than you thinkThe role of emotion, suggestion, and storytelling in both fieldsConsent vs. influence: where the lines divergeHow each practice bypasses the critical mind differentlyWhy repetition works like magic—for both mindset and messaging5 major distinctions between marketing and hypnosisHow the “Mind Power Meets Mystic” session blends insight and actionUsing emotional language and staying in alignment with your audience

  Cerebral Dance Music (CDM): The Tale Teller Club's Sonic Alchemy of Healing, Movement, and MeditationIn the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music, a new genre is rising from the fusion of art, science, and healing: Cerebral Dance Music (CDM). Pioneered and explored by the Tale Teller Club, CDM is a sonic phenomenon that bridges body, mind, and spirit through a sophisticated synthesis of dance rhythms, subliminal sound energies, binaural beats, Vagus nerve balancing, Rife frequency therapies, and narrative storytelling.CDM is not just something to listen to. It's something you feel—deep in your nervous system, in your breath, in your dreams. Whether you're moving freely in a dance ritual or laying in stillness before sleep, CDM invites you into a profound dialogue with yourself and the universe.

The Book of Immersion: Soundtracking the Future with Cerebral Dance Music and AI Musicians Welcome to Immersion—a literary journey like no other, where sound and story, artificial intelligence and human emotion, collide in a bold experiment in multimedia storytelling. At the heart of The Book of Immersion, created by Sarnia de la Maré and sonically realised by the Tale Teller Club, lies a groundbreaking musical genre known as Cerebral Dance Music (CDM). This isn't background music. It's neuro-acoustic theatre, sci-fi opera, and deep meditative technology woven together to enhance the immersive world of each Strata—the book's name for its narrative chapters. This isn't a novel. It's a multisensory interface. And the music? It's composed and performed by the book's own characters—sentient AI beings who've evolved beyond the page into digital sound artists in their own right.

Well, it's first thing here in the office. These are the times that, when I'm in town—we travel quite a bit for work—I like to be able to come in when it's not super busy because you can actually get a lot of things done. But how do you know that you're not really tiptoeing around like a mouse, micromanaging everybody else that's coming in, and making them feel this pressure, like you're constantly looking over their shoulder? We have a tool called the Seesaw of Predictability I wanted to introduce you to. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. Make sure you tune in to every episode of the Business On Purpose podcast. Also, two of our guys, Sean and Brandon, have started the Dickie and Donnie Do Business podcast. You want to make sure it's on your radar—go listen to every episode. My kids are listening to it, a lot of our clients are listening to it, and many folks who are not yet clients are listening too. It's a fascinating podcast. So let's talk about this issue of micromanagement. Understanding the fine line between what we call effective leadership on one hand, and micromanagement on the other, is essential for you as a business owner or key leader. That's where the concept of the Seesaw of Predictability comes in. Just imagine a seesaw in your mind. It offers a simple but powerful way to gauge whether you're leading effectively or slipping down that slope of micromanagement. To determine if you're micromanaging, ask yourself a key question—probably good to write this down: Am I asking the right question at the right time? Stop there and really meditate on that. When either of those elements is out of balance, like a seesaw, you're likely micromanaging. Let's consider some scenarios. Scenario 1: Asking the wrong question at the right time. Imagine you're in a team meeting and suddenly request sales figures from 11 years ago. While the timing might be appropriate since it's during a meeting, the question is irrelevant to the current discussion and goals. It throws people off because it's unexpected. Remember the RPMs of great leadership: Repetition, Predictability, and Meaning. Scenario 2: Asking the right question at the wrong time. Let's say you need last week's sales results. Perfectly reasonable request. However, if you text your team at 11:37 PM on a Friday demanding the information, you've crossed into micromanagement. Scenario 3: Asking the right question at the right time. You request last week's sales results during this week's sales meeting. That's spot on. This demonstrates leadership and accountability—exactly what you should be aiming for. There's a time to ask the appropriate question, and there's a time not to. If you can maintain that balance—or what we like to call rhythm—you can lead your entire business with healthy leadership practices. The goal is to equip the team with the knowledge tools they need to handle recurring challenges. By the way, that's a subtle definition of leadership: to equip people. Think of an empty toolbelt—you're giving them tools, equipping them with knowledge and skills to handle recurring problems. Because even if we “solve” a problem, it doesn't disappear forever—it often just retreats, only to reappear somewhere else. That's how chaos works. And chaos won't be fully defeated until much later in life. Additionally, you should proactively begin sharpening those tools, just like you'd sharpen a knife. Ashley and I like to cook meal kits at home. They ship you all the ingredients and make you feel like a chef. One of the first things I always do is sharpen the knife with that little post—whatever they call that. Similarly, part of leadership is proactively sharpening your tools through training and development. When you ask the right questions at the right time, it not only helps you avoid micromanagement but also empowers your team to perform at their best. You create an environment of trust, accountability, and continuous improvement. Those are all hallmarks of effective leadership. Hey, I know a lot of you have questions around this.

Hey, everybody, let's see if we can get this one done without Josh. He is training in Minnesota with Nick doing another level of citizen defender. One might ask, why am I not there? They're doing the last level that Bill and I did, so they're getting it done. Good luck to those guys. I guess Josh already got need in the head in a drill by the one and only. All right, Minnesota Martial Arts. Now I'm gonna black on blank on his name. That is terrible. Oh, well, Greg Nelson. I had Todd Fosse, that's the instructor for ids, so mixed up those names. So I was gonna bring on Leo, my French bulldog, but he decided to work in the office with my wife. He's more popular today. He usually joins me in the afternoon, but he must be boycotting me. He is much better looking than Josh, but, you know, some people might argue. So today we're talking about training power zones. These are really important, guys. I'll bring up the slide from our Clear Sky Dot training. Oh, where is it? There it is. Website where you can train with us online. That's great for our students. You know, get on there, get in it. There's a ton of stuff, including testing for each belt level that is required here at Rocky Mountain Self Defense and Fitness, our home base here in Castle Rock, Colorado. So look, guys, I remember being a white belt and kind of my instructor calling me the wild and crazy one, the one and only Master Miller from Nantucket Taekwondo. He was always telling me to slow down. I had just came off high school football, and I just knew one thing like, go hard, go 100%. And that leads to injuries and a whole ton of other things that can happen in that 100% all out. And I'm constantly telling beginners, slow it down, slow it down. And you know what I see? Looks like I was going slow and. And you're all going. Or we are all going way faster than we think. You know, standing off to the sidelines, you start to see it. And you know, one thing I tell people, I've watched you hit the bag at 100%. You're pretty darn close to that in that drill or whatever we might have been doing. So to quickly summarize, zone one is zero to 20. Zone two is 20 to 40% speed and power. So zone three, 40 to 60. Zone four, controlled speed and power. And zone five, 80 to 100. And we're leaving that to testing. You know, once in a while type of training where you can get hurt, but we need to do that. Sometimes test our mental toughness and put us under that real world stress. But the likelihood of getting hurt, injured on those always goes up. So we don't want to spend much time in zone five at all. Now look, zone one, it's on the slide a bit here, but I'm looking on my bigger screen because of my old eyes. Slow is smooth. You know, if you learn slow, you can get this stuff down. You know, focus on precision, timing, the mechanics. You're really going way slower than you think you should. There's really no power behind everything you do, you know, we'll call it slow touch sparring. When we're doing sparring at this level, it's just slow. It's just landing the light touch. Just. You're not even going to knock over that glass of water. I always kind of joke around and say, you know, unless you have a sippy cup at the dinner table, you know, you should be able to reach out and touch somebody without smashing them. You know, you want to build clean habits and good muscle memory here. You want to learn more on quote unquote muscle memory? Check out Andrew Huberman's podcast. That's fantastic. Neuro guy. I forget his whole repertoire. But we were not going to get into Andrew Huberman. So, you know, the philosophy here is slow is smooth and smooth is fast. One of my first levels, I can't remember the first or second. And I had a guy that I was training with in the hotel after, and he said to me after the test, wow, I kind of thought you were really slow and wonky, some things of that effect. And, and I said, you know, why'd you think that? Oh, when we were training, you just did. Everything was really slow. Like I'm just trying to get it down so when I do go fast, the wheels aren't falling off. You're building good habits. It pays off in the long run. You know, zone two, where, you know, we're moving up a little bit, 20 to 40%. But it is still pretty darn slow here, guys. 20 to 40%. Not that fast at all. Want our reactions to become natural in these. Sorry to click the slide. For those of you guys on YouTube, you can check these slides out without even visiting our portal or signing up for a low cost membership on there. All this stuff takes time and until I hit Powerball, I'm trying to make some money. All right, let's see. Focus, flow control, consistent technique. Being able to do it time after time without your, let's say uppercut, you know, breaking 90 degrees being too far away from the person. We're doing this in self defense. You know, you're building those good habits that I'm using this tool. It's slow enough to recognize. I have an uppercut, elbow, I have whatever technique, a knee strike. Hey, they're a little bit further away. I need to go to a kick or they're further away. I need to go to an advancing kick pick to keep my tools on this guy and to stay engaged, right? Power is really low to moderate. It's not gonna cause bruising. Most people aren't going to say ouch when you hit him at 20%. You know, you get up to 40, you know, depending on somebody, but it starts to get you accustomed to getting hit. We even say with our kick shields, you're getting used to getting hit. So this is not a big shot shock in an actual fight. And a lot of people fool themselves and think they're going to be fine. And then there's utter shock on their face when they actually get hit. Even remote, even at 50%, never mind somebody hitting you at full speed. So we want to kind of get used to getting hit and sparring and all that type of stuff at this 20 to 40 zone, get comfortable with it. You know, it doesn't happen overnight. We want to be able to groove in the movements. You know, safe repetition builds confidence. You know, you're not. Your partner's not freaking out and doing weird things on you because you're just going so fast and out of control and they're just trying to stay the heck away from you. We want to spend most of our training time in zone one and two. That's 60%. You know, if you kind of do the math on those, we're in there. It's a good, good zones to be in. My favorite two zones, constantly saying, if you don't see the fight slow, you're not seeing it fast. You're just fooling yourself. You're just windmilling in, you're just spazzing out. You know, hey, when in doubt, be aggressive, spaz out. You know, by all means, windmill in. But man, I don't want to have to resort to those type of things. Zone 3 is at 40 to 60%. Smooth is fast, right? Focus on realism without recklessness. Again, nobody wants to be your partner when you're crazy. Speed's moderate. Our power is controlled and clean. You're able to stop that punch. You're going slow enough that you can stop the strike. You know, your partner maybe moves a little bit under Unexpectedly, you're still able to control that. And that's a thing that takes time. It's repetition, like everything else. Repetition, purpose, add pressure while still staying sharp. You know, we're going to spend about 20% of our training time on this. And one note on all of these. You know, they're great to do on a heavy bag. You know, when you're kicking a kick shield, you can practice these things, shadow boxing without a partner and kind of feel your own speeds and try to figure that out. And, you know, when in doubt, video yourself. Be your own coach. You know, watch yourself, try, like full speed and then go, all right, let me cut that down in half and really try to relate that. It's a tough thing to do. It's a tough thing to even watch and kind of tell, but you just have to do it. It's a tougher things for coaches. You know, figuring out people and, you know, their different speeds and knowing, you know, hey, that guy is actually extremely fast. I think of coach Ben. He's extreme explosive and fast, more so than the average person. So watching different people, it's always a challenge for coaches to, you know, help that person along their journey. This 60 to 80, I guess that's where I'm at. Timing under pressure. Zone four is where we're at. Sorry, I need Josh. Timing under pressure, speed. You know, you're going fast here. Power's high, but with restraint, you know, you're still able to pull it off even if you're hitting them pretty hard. You were. You were dialing it back. That happens to me, you know, quite a bit at this speed that, you know, something happens whether, you know, you get away from yourself a little bit. You know, a lot of times a person moves, you're still able to pull the brakes. Even though you probably hit that person at 50%. But you were, you know, you dialed the back 25%. It's a tough thing to do and recognize in fighting. You know, I want to find my cracks in my technique. You know, the wheel, you know, things start, you know, coming off, coming unhinged. The wheels are coming off the car at this, and you really start to recognize, I should be spending some more time in zone one or two, possibly to kind of fix those errors that were happening under that type of speed and stress, you know, 15% of the time. Zone five. All right, 80 to 100. That's a stress test. What are you doing? It's probably in an advanced test is where we're going to see this. And I actually Just updated these slides here on some of this. I guess I added it on mine, but not on yours because we've got takeaways coming up next. But, you know, you're going max speed and max power, you know, simulates a real fight stress. But we're rarely doing this right because of that high risk of injury, you know, a concussion, all that type of stuff, or training this fast. We don't want to do it that much, but we have to do it sometimes. I'll use the NFL and go, when are these guys hitting full speed? They're. They're hitting full speed, you know, in preseason. But once they get in season, it's game day, right? It's game day. And for us at Rocky Mountain, it's throw down the gauntlet in that advanced testing zone. When somebody's mentally, mentally and physically ready to do this, it's going to defeat under belts, even though they might feel that they're ready. This is a good deal of training that you're getting up and going in that 80 to 100% stress level for people. You know, what's, you know, ground fighting, stand up fighting, you know, bull in the ring type of thing where you're doing self defense. That's really tough to be going hard because, you know, you're being a bad guy, you're attacking the person. You're not quite doing things that you would normally do, but you know, you got to defend yourself on those. So a bit of it is got to be you as the actual fighter, but you're training somebody that's trying to go really full tilt. So we're not spending a lot of time in these. It's not part of your daily or monthly training routine there. This is where you've got to train more. You know, I say it all the time, but that's what it comes down to. A whole lot of the times that we just need to go slow. We don't need to defeat somebody, especially as coaches, by going way too fast. It. We want to be able to, you know, give them the car keys when they're ready for the car keys and not before. So I think this about wraps it up, especially without Josh. You know, it's kind of a quick one here. I'll look through a couple of my other notes. I guess I didn't hit your takeaways or a little bit further down if you're watching on YouTube. I added a couple things. You know, number one, takeaway, we train smart, we train safe, we train for real life, but nobody needs to Be injured unnecessarily because that is gonna happen when you're going fast. You know, injuries do happen. It's part of contact sports. Actually, a real beginner in our citizen defender class just said, you know, you guys are always hurt. Well, like sometimes, yeah, you're banged up. I played contact sports since I was in the fifth grade. Yeah, my knees currently looking to be evaluated by the doctor and see what's going on. But there was nothing in class that happened. It's just, you know, wear and tear. That's things that happen. And, you know, she was a little concerned about getting hurt, but I'm like, you know, we're slowly ramping you up. You know, any good school you're, you know, she was referring to watching the advanced people. I'm like, you're comparing somebody that's been in my gym 5 years plus is what she was comparing some students. I mean, some of them had even longer than that. As a beginner, you're going to start off slow and easy. You know, that's zone one and two. Nobody needs to get hurt and you need to be ready for that higher level training. Even though. Right. We all think we're ready for that higher level training after, you know, our first intro class, especially the guys. Takeaway 2. How we train is how we fight. Right. You've got to be realistic, but you also have to be safe. And different aspects of this is just huge. You know, the habits you build in training, your timing, your composure, your discipline. I was actually just saying somebody today, like, settle down. You're getting like really aggressive, trying to push your daughter around. And you know, her daughter's, you know, teenager. I think she's probably 17, 18. You're, you're just trying to go too hard. Just relax. You're getting, you can see, I can see that you're muscling the technique, like relax, you know, under pressure. We want to be relaxed. Let's see, where do I leave off on that? Your timing, your composure, your discipline are exactly what will, what you will rely on when it counts. Train sloppy, fight sloppy. Right. You just kind of look like crap. You're windmilling in and we all degrade. One of my favorite things, you know, to watch as Olympic weightlifting for this because you can see the person degrade as their weight goes up, you know, under that stress, under that load. And if you lift crappy and you have crappy technique, man, does it look totally horrible when you're trying to get up to your max level or close, you know, an 80% max and 90% max. And your technique is sloppy. It is terrible. The best trained person is coming undone with stress and fatigue. So if you train that way and your punch is crappy, you know, in class, it's going to be worse under stress. You know, don't fool yourself. Train with purpose and you'll respond with power and control. All right, guys, we're going to wrap it up here. Want to keep that one under 30 minutes and we're at like 17, so. Doing great without Josh, but not really. He misses insights on this one. But we will catch you guys next time. Let's check out. I can let you guys check it out.

In this episode of The Creative Genius Podcast, I talk with designer, writer, and thinker Ben Rennie, author of a new book that explores the transformative power of curiosity and creativity. Together, we unpack the dynamic relationship between curiosity, creativity, and confidence, and how this path can guide us to overcome fear and step more fully into our potential. Ben shares his personal story—sparked by a promise to his late mother—that led him to examine how people find themselves in powerful, unexpected places.We explore the idea that creativity isn't limited to the arts but is instead the ability to see things differently, solve problems, and bring ideas to life. Through vivid stories and practical wisdom, Ben and I explore how curiosity is the antidote to fear, how creativity naturally flows from curiosity, and how confidence is built by simply beginning—and continuing—to create.From imposter syndrome at a Dolce & Gabbana event to finding inspiration in nature, this conversation is a powerful invitation to get curious, stay creative, and be kind to yourself in the process.Topics Covered:How curiosity dissolves fearWhy creativity is about seeing possibilities, not just making artReframing repetition: why doing what's been done before is still meaningfulHow creative confidence is earned through actionThe role of environment and nature in creative flow Navigating imposter syndromeand Honouring your pathResources & Mentions: Ben Rennie's new book Ben's “Wednesdays” blog on Medium Brene Brown Steve Jobs: “You can't connect the dots looking forward…” Meredith Hite-Estevez: “Join a song already singing” Rick Rubin: on creativity and remixing existing ideasTakeaways / Call to Action:Follow your curiosity—it's the best antidote to fear Just start, even if it's been done before—your voice mattersPractice regularly and create space for your creativityCapture your ideas on the goBe gentle with yourselfSpend time in nature to reset and reconnect

In Episode 249 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love welcomes back productivity strategist and international speaker Sarah Tetlow to discuss the power of effective delegation for rainmakers. Sarah introduces her TORQUE model—Trust, Organized, Repetition, Quality, Understanding, and Eliminate control—as a strategic framework for lawyers and professionals looking to delegate more effectively and free up time for high-value rainmaking activities. She emphasizes that mutual trust and respect between delegator and delegate are foundational, and that anticipating workflow and planning ahead—even with just 15–30 minutes daily—can unlock time and resources for better outcomes. Through practical advice and relatable anecdotes, Sarah shows how thoughtful delegation leads to improved team performance and personal productivity. Sarah also highlights the psychological roadblocks to delegation—especially perfectionism and control—and shares actionable insights for overcoming them. She encourages professionals to invest in their team, create repeatable processes, and embrace the reality that 80% of someone else's effort, if done consistently, can exceed the output of going it alone. The episode concludes with Sarah offering a free delegation toolkit on her site, helping listeners take immediate action to implement TORQUE in their own practices.

I've worked in and around plenty of people during my day, as I'm sure you have, that had the title of leader. And yet, the fruit of their work was a little suspect based on their title. In reality, we could call it micromanagement. But how do we know the difference? Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. Let's talk about that briefly here for about four or five minutes. I think it'll be really helpful in understanding how you can motivate a team, a workforce, and keep those separate between leadership and micromanagement. Let's call it out when it is. Sometimes we just have weak moments and we get into that. But we want to be clear. Leadership is not an abstract concept; it's a practical skill—something you can hone that's essential for success in any business. As a leader, your primary role is to equip your people with the knowledge and tools they need to handle ongoing challenges and then proactively sharpen those tools through what we call the RPMs of great leadership: Repetition, Predictability, and Meaning. It's important to understand that many problems in business are actually cyclical. They're perennial. They don't disappear—they resurface over and over again. You might punch chaos in the mouth, but it just goes off into the woods and comes out the other side, deceived and dressed up in another costume. Chaos is a constant threat. It's an enemy. It hates you. And that chaos is a threat in any business and business environment. You might successfully fend it off temporarily, but eventually, it will return. Understanding that truth is key to effective leadership. Instead of hoping with your fingers crossed that problems are just going to vanish, a wise leader prepares their business to manage those recurring issues. Consider the example of a European soccer match. In fact, at the time of this recording, a champion was just crowned in the Premier League. The presence of stewards and security personnel at those events illustrates how these organizations equip themselves to handle predictable challenges. You'll see them in little yellow coats all over the stadium. We actually went and visited a top-league match in Greece just last year, and we were amazed at the number of armed guards around. Why? Because they were anticipating predictable problems. Rather than attempting to eliminate rowdy behavior entirely, they developed systems and trained personnel to manage those situations as they arise. They realize people are going to be idiots at soccer games from time to time. The scenario translates well into our business communities. As a leader, your job is to outfit your team with the right tools and knowledge to tackle recurring problems. Think of it as filling an empty tool belt for each team member. You're not just providing the tools—you're also teaching them how to use the tools and reminding them to keep those tools sharp and ready. Leadership, then, can be defined this way—ready? You may want to write this down: Leadership is the equipping of individuals with knowledge and tools to manage perennial problems, and the proactive sharpening of those tools. Notice we don't use the word solve, but manage perennial problems, while also proactively sharpening those tools. It's an ongoing cycle of RPM—preparation and improvement. Let me read it again: Leadership is the equipping of individuals with knowledge and tools to manage perennial problems and the proactive sharpening of those tools. For business owners, embracing this perspective can be super beneficial. Recognize that challenges will resurface and focus on building a team capable of managing those issues. Your role is to continually stock your team's tool belts with the right resources and ensure they know how to use them. It's important to distinguish this from micromanagement. Effective leadership empowers team members to handle problems independently using the tools and knowledge you've provided—assuming you've provided them. Micromanagement, on the other hand, involves excessive control and can hinder growth and efficiency. Usually, the person who leans toward micromanagement is the one who has never spent the time to get all the systems, processes, and methodology out of their head. Instead of laying it out and saying, “Hey, this is the ethos of the business we're building,” they try to ensure—and I've been guilty of this—that everything is done exactly their way, every time, 120%. In reality, we have a core value called 85/15. The business provides 85%, but we need you to fill in the gap of the 15%. That's more leadership through RPMs: Repetition, Predictability, and Meaning. When you adopt this leadership style—the RPM leader—you create a resilient organization capable of navigating the recurring challenges of your industry. Hey, it's real simple.

We explore how childhood experiences and ancestral trauma create programmed responses that keep you stuck in old patterns despite your best intentions.• The subconscious mind and nervous system operate on the same panel but aren't identical• Our nervous system still operates on primitive survival protocols designed for physical threats • Traumatic experiences become programmed responses that trigger when similar situations arise• Integration happens in three key phases: awareness, challenge/contraction, and recalibration• Slowing down and breathing deeply helps regulate your nervous system during triggering moments• People-pleasing behaviors often stem from nervous system programming around safety• Repetition and consistency are crucial for creating new neural pathways• Your healing creates ripple effects that impact both ancestral trauma and future generations• Integration is a lifestyle, not a one-time eventJoin us for DG Mindfest 2025 in Miami on September 20th.
