In this episode of the M3 Podcast, Rick and Dane dive deep into the illusion of control—how much of life and business is really in our hands versus shaped by chance, timing, and the unknown. From fatherhood to business setbacks, they share personal stories about losing big opportunities, adapting when life doesn't go to plan, and why learning to let go can actually create more success.Whether it's in relationships, leadership, or personal growth, this conversation challenges the idea that control equals safety—and explores how shifting focus from outcomes to daily process leads to more freedom and resilience.

Rolston shares anecdotes about working with iconic figures like Michael Jackson and Madonna, revealing his conceptual approach to celebrity portraits, such as his Marlene Dietrich-inspired shoot with Madonna and Michael Jackson's "King of Pop" request. He also discusses his extensive work in advertising for major cosmetic brands like Revlon and L'Oréal, and his transition into directing music videos during the MTV era, highlighting how these commercial ventures fueled his creative pursuits.Rolston reflects on the evolving media landscape, expressing his views on the decline of print magazines and the rise of social media and AI imagery. He emphasizes that while traditional platforms are changing, the essence of powerful image-making remains, and sees AI as a tool that can both lower and raise the bar for creative output. The conversation also touches on his early influences, including his childhood experiences in Los Angeles, his grandfather's connections to MGM stars, as well as his education at Art Center, all of which shaped his artistic vision.Finally, Rolston discusses his shift from commercial work to personal art projects, driven by a desire to create a lasting legacy. He introduces his conceptual projects like the ventriloquist dummies series, “Talking Heads” and his exploration into art artmaking with "Art People," and details his upcoming "Vanitas" exhibition, which will be spread across four venues in Los Angeles, including ArtCenter and Leica Gallery, Los Angeles.

In this pivotal episode of the Battle of Britain series, we explore the mounting pressures faced by both British and German forces as September 1940 unfolds. While the RAF continues its desperate defense against daily Luftwaffe raids, behind the scenes both nations are dealing with critical resource challenges and strategic dilemmas. The British struggle with pilot shortages and factory production disruptions caused by constant air raid warnings, leading to new policies that increase worker risk but maintain essential aircraft production. Meanwhile, German intelligence faces a mathematical crisis as their estimates of British fighter strength prove wildly inaccurate, with the RAF continuing to field strong resistance despite German claims of destroying over 1,100 fighters. As Hitler's September 10th deadline for Operation Sea Lion approaches, the Luftwaffe shifts focus from airfields to London itself, culminating in the massive September 7th bombing raid that marks the beginning of the London Blitz - a devastating new phase that would see the city bombed for 57 consecutive days and nights, forever changing the character of the Battle of Britain.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! This week, we're revisiting one of the most insightful interviews we've done here on the Purple Patch Podcast. In this episode, we're exploring the topic of mature athletes. These athletes are just as ambitious and goal-driven as younger ones, but they often have a deeper and more meaningful purpose beyond winning races and setting personal records. We received a great question from a podcast listener who has participated in triathlons for over 20 years. Despite still being ambitious, she now has three kids and is seeking advice on approaching the sport from a new perspective and adjusting her training. This is a common challenge for many athletes, not just in triathlon. We've dedicated a whole show to addressing this question and hopefully, we provide helpful guidance for any mature athlete looking to optimize their mindset, strategy, and training for performance gains. The episode is divided into three parts. The first part discusses "perspective" and building a new relationship with sports. It provides context for understanding how to adjust your approach to sports and how it may differ from your younger and more competitive years.

Panic attacks, anxiety, and stress are closely linked to both physical and mental health, working together rather than as separate issues. Improving nutrition, supporting detox, and addressing certain genetic factors can help restore balance in the body. Simple steps like staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and replenishing key nutrients can make a big difference in mood and energy.Just as important is learning to shift focus away from constant stress and toward the positive parts of life. Reframing challenges, practicing gratitude, and looking for opportunities in difficult situations can help break the cycle of fear, guilt, and sadness. When physical health and mindset are improved together, it creates a stronger foundation for long-term calm and resilience.Highlights of the Podcast00:04 – Mind-Body Connection in Anxiety and Panic Attacks01:37 – Genetic Factors: COMT Enzyme Function02:59 – Detoxification and Kidney Health04:20 – Nutrient Deficiencies and Mental Health05:45 – Understanding Stress07:11 – Shifting Focus to the Positive08:39 – Therapy Approaches: Adler vs. Freudian11:20 – Letting Go of the Uncontrollable13:40 – The Two-Part Solution for Stress and Anxiety15:06 – Why This Isn't Taught in Schools

Most of us have been there, and if you haven't you'll meet them soon: The “I don't know” client, who responds to every coaching question with “I don't know”. Are they avoiding the question? Do they not want to be there? Do they not trust you? Are they scared of what they might find? Have they been sent to coaching against their will? Or do they simply not know anything? Whatever it may be, for coaches this situation can be mighty frustrating, so in this episode, Nicki and Yannick discuss how to navigate working with such clients. Keywordscoaching, client engagement, resistance, curiosity, strategies, coaching techniques, personal development, client blocks, coaching dynamics, professional coachingTakeawaysThe 'I don't know' response can indicate resistance or a lack of knowledge.Curiosity is essential for coaches to engage clients effectively.Exploring the emotional state of clients can reveal underlying blocks.Coaches should avoid taking on the responsibility of knowing for their clients.Asking clarifying questions can help clients uncover their thoughts.Using humor or positive prompts can shift a client's emotional state.The GROW model can be a useful framework for guiding clients.Acknowledging the shared experience of 'not knowing' can help both coach and client.Preparation with resources can empower coaches in challenging situations.Focusing on inquiry rather than providing answers fosters client growth.Chapters00:00 Understanding the 'I Don't Know' Client03:00 Exploring Client Resistance and Blocks05:58 Strategies for Engaging Clients09:00 The Role of Curiosity in Coaching11:59 Navigating the Coach-Client Dynamic15:14 Preparing for the 'I Don't Know' Situation17:59 Shifting Focus from Knowledge to InquiryKeywordscoaching, client engagement, resistance, curiosity, strategies, coaching techniques, personal development, client blocks, coaching dynamics, professional coaching____If you'd like to stay up to date with new episodes, continue the conversation or generally support what we do: Send us your question: http://bit.ly/talkingaboutcoachingSign up to our mailing list (no spam, no sales, just a quick shout about new episodes): https://rocketsupervision.com/talking-about-coaching/Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG2cSupport the show

He discusses the importance of strategic planning, understanding consumer needs, and avoiding common marketing mistakes. Jake emphasizes the value of unique offers and joint ventures in scaling businesses effectively. Takeaways Jake started his journey as an aspiring inventor. He transitioned from prototyping to marketing for golf courses. Networking and free work helped him build a portfolio. The golf course marketing business faced challenges due to client understanding. COVID-19 forced a shift to month-to-month pricing and lower fees. Jake found success in real estate marketing with a dedicated sales partner. The business scaled significantly, reaching a million-dollar month. They introduced recurring revenue through support fees. Adaptability was key to navigating business challenges. Jake's journey emphasizes the importance of persistence and learning. Rapid growth can lead to significant challenges in management and quality control. Outsourcing can be beneficial, but it requires careful oversight to maintain quality. Transitioning to a new industry requires strategic planning and understanding of financial metrics. Effective marketing must resonate with the consumer and avoid jargon. Building a unique offer can differentiate a business in a crowded market. Understanding the consumer's perspective is crucial for successful marketing. Hiring should be done thoughtfully to avoid overstaffing and inefficiencies. A lean business model can lead to greater stability and profitability. Joint ventures can provide growth opportunities without the need for full acquisition. Continuous learning and adaptation are key to long-term success in business.
