He highlights childlike qualities—humility, trust, simplicity, sincerity, teachability, innocence, devotion, and love—illustrated by a little girl who saw no barrier of skin color.

In this second part of last week's discussion, you will continue to learn about anxiety and be inspired to ease your feelings by paying closer attention to them. Kelly speaks with fellow Canadian minimalist, spoken word artist, musician, international best-selling author, and former elementary school teacher, the incredibly insightful Humble the Poet, to share insights from his latest book, Unanxious: 50 Simple Truths to Help Overthinkers Feel Less Stress and More Calm. As Humble shared in the first half of their discussion, anxiety isn't something we should try to eliminate, but something we should get curious about. In this second half, Humble explains how anxiety can also show up in positive moments, and how learning to sit with our feelings can build lasting resilience. Together, they explore how removing external stimulants can lower our baseline anxiety, and how recognizing our emotional triggers — including those rooted in childhood — can reveal where the real work lies. They also walk through relatable, everyday anxiety-inducing scenarios and share practical tools — from setting boundaries with ourselves and others to intentionally doing small, uncomfortable things to build emotional strength. Be inspired to see anxiety as a natural human signal, and feel motivated to improve your relationship with it so you can transform your life for the better.

In a world where complexity often overshadows simplicity, we find ourselves yearning for clarity and purpose, especially within the church. Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the complexities of life, longing to return to the basics? In this closing sermon of our "Church Reimagined" series, discover how the early church's dedication to simplicity can redefine your spiritual journey today.The Book of Acts reveals invaluable lessons about how the early believers, fresh from the teachings of Jesus, focused on fundamental practices like the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer (Acts 2:42). These simple yet profound commitments empowered the early Christian church to grow and thrive, encouraging believers to persist in their faith with clarity and conviction.Join Pastor Nick Tallo as he explores two key takeaways: why simplicity was God's design from the start and how it creates clarity in both personal lives and church communities. He emphasizes that simplicity focuses the mission, protects from burnout, and multiplies impact—inviting you to reimagine what it means to be part of a church that's not about complexity, but about being intentional and uncluttered in our faith.Experience a message that will inspire you to focus on the core practices that deepen your relationship with Christ and others. At Two Rivers Church, our mission is to help you become a passionate follower of Jesus so you can experience the life He intended for you and encourage others to do the same.Stay connected with us by hitting that SUBSCRIBE button to keep receiving content that enriches your spiritual walk.

In this intriguing and often hilarious episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore a natural pattern in life and spirituality: moving from simplicity to complexity, and then back again. On the spiritual journey, we may wrestle with perplexing questions: Who am I? Is there God? Is the world real? Is it all an illusion? We speak of “the sound of one hand clapping” or “being here now,” and sometimes it can feel as if spiritual guides are muddying the waters just to make them seem deep. But it's possible to emerge on the other side of these tangled spiritual riddles and discover the simplicity of divine love — a simplicity that carries within it the depth and wisdom gained along the way. Key Takeaways: * The recurring life pattern: from simplicity to complexity and back to a refined simplicity. * How the search for truth can lead to ever-deepening — and sometimes overly complex — spiritual riddles. * Why divine love, though simple in expression, contains the deepest wisdom. * ⁠ The Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam's portrayal of pure, selfless love in Yaśodā's relationship with Kṛṣṇa. * The difference between naive, material love and enlightened, spiritual love.

This episode is packed with real insights for coaches, content creators, and entrepreneurs who are ready to stop grinding and start growing with purpose. Learn how a former firefighter-turned-fitness entrepreneur transformed debt and burnout into a thriving online business by leveraging storytelling, strategic systems, and authentic content. Discover practical, proven methods to attract ideal clients, simplify your marketing, and close sales without chasing—so you can build a business that's aligned, impactful, and sustainable.   “ Your message matters, your story matters, and it's time to build a business where you could not only change lives, but make enough money to have the impact and the freedom that you deserve.”   Key points to focus on: Authenticity and Storytelling Drive Business Growth: The speaker emphasizes building a business around your unique story, message, and personality instead of copying generic, aggressive marketing strategies. Predictability Requires Systems: A major turning point in his business was implementing repeatable systems for marketing, sales, and operations.  Messaging is the Foundation of Effective Marketing: Success hinges on communicating the right message to the right people in a way that deeply resonates. Content Should Be Strategic, Not Just Consistent: Posting daily without strategy leads to burnout. Instead, a strategic content ecosystem—anchored by a main social channel, email list, and long-form content (e.g., YouTube or podcast)—maximizes visibility and conversions. Value-Based Sales Are More Effective than Pressure Tactics: Rather than relying on cold DMs or high-pressure sales calls, the speaker advocates for selling through value.  Scale with Simplicity and Leverage: Once the front-end system works, the focus shifts to simplifying the backend—delegating, using SOPs, and leveraging AI tools. This allows business owners to grow while reclaiming their time and avoiding burnout.     Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Need to create an e-learning presentation but don't have an eye for good visuals? This episode is for you! We revisit a great past episode with Diane Elkins, instructional design pro and owner of Artisan Learning. There's so much solid advice in this episode on what works, what to avoid, and how visuals impact the learning experience (probably more than you think).Diane explains how bad visuals inhibit learning, why simpler is often better, and why “slides” are due a name change. Plus, she gets on her soapbox to explain the real goal of e-learning. We also look at some examples of pretty, plain, and hideous slides to compare, based on a real experiment Diane used to test out visual design. One thing to note: We do share some visuals in this episode of good and bad design choices, so for the full experience, we recommend checking out the episode on YouTube.Learning points from the episode include:00:00 – 02:44 Introduction to Diane and her work02:44 – 04:57 The role in visuals in e-learning04:57 - 07:33 Best practices for visuals and what to avoid07:33 – 11:11 Mindset shifts to avoid over-the-top visuals11:11 – 13:20 Why visuals are even more important in e-learning scenarios13:20 – 16:25 How to decide what information to put on a slide16:25 – 21:53 Diane's pretty, plain, and hideous visual design experiment21:53 – 25:00 Why simple is often better for learning25:00 – 29:34 Why “is it helpful?” is the most important question to ask29:34 – 31:31 Why visual aids should always be in service of the audience31:31 – 38:42 An example of whether we should decorate or illustrate with visuals38:42 – 46:18 Can we fix it?

In this episode of the Stronger Sales Teams podcast, host Ben Wright explores the power of simplicity in driving effective sales strategies and team leadership. Reflecting on a compelling conversation with motivational speaker Lasada Pippen, Ben revisits the impactful notion that “Simplicity sails, complexity fails” — a principle that sets the tone for this thought-provoking discussion. Ben unpacks how embracing simplicity can significantly enhance B2B sales management. He presents a clear and structured framework that includes strategic planning, streamlined sales processes, targeted training, coaching, measurable performance metrics, and consistent team behaviours — all designed to boost sales team performance. Key Takeaways: Embracing simplicity in sales strategies and processes helps avoid overwhelm and enhances overall team productivity. Establish regular, structured training sessions to support consistent upskilling and sustained team engagement. Keep sales metrics straightforward and focused, limiting them to what truly matters for clarity and impact. Favour adaptable frameworks over rigid scripts to allow sales professionals to bring authenticity and a personal touch to their approach. Gain a clear understanding of your team's capabilities and manage workload effectively to prevent burnout and maintain high performance.

We all love new technology; ABS brakes, fuel injection, traction control, etc. But when is it too much? Sometimes it's nice to have a simple bike that is all mechanical, and everything can be taken apart and fixed. Advancing or retarding the timing, changing the jets and being able to easily access the spark plugs. These are things that we like having control of. Now don't get your panties in a wad about modern technology. We know that overall it's made motorcycling safer and more accessible to many, but for those that like to diagnose, tweak and rebuild, sometimes the technology just gets in the way.

Send us a textReady to shake up your customer experience approach with some no-fluff, straight-to-the-point wisdom? In this episode, Adrian Swinscoe – author of *Punk CX* and *How to Wow* – joins Roman Trebon to deliver a masterclass on how real, actionable data combined with firsthand customer stories can transform your CX from good to unforgettable. Learn why "going to the gemba" (that's Japanese for “go see where the work happens”) can be the secret weapon in your customer success playbook, and why less complexity often results in more memorable experiences.Adrian Swinscoe dives deep into a pragmatic, almost punk rock philosophy of customer experience that's anything but conventional. His call to action? Don't get lost in the sea of binary data points and over-engineered solutions. Yes, data is king – but raw numbers alone often feel like a monochrome sketch. True customer success leaders bring color and context by blending quantitative insights with rich, qualitative stories. It's these narratives that move teams to act and innovate, bridging the gap between cold metrics and vibrant human emotion.Swinscoe invokes the Toyota-inspired practice of “going to the gemba,” encouraging CX leaders to ditch conference rooms and dashboards for direct observation—whether it's sitting with frontline agents or experiencing the product as a customer would. This boots-on-the-ground approach fosters empathy, reveals friction points invisible in reports, and catalyzes meaningful change.Echoing his punk ethos, Adrian warns against the natural tendency to keep piling on features and processes under the guise of “improvement.” Instead, simplicity should be your compass. If you add one new element to a process, critique what two things you can eliminate. Complexity is easy; elegance and clarity require discipline—and they pay dividends in customer loyalty.Roman's illustrated comic example highlights the paradox: an overcomplicated onboarding and an overly simplified offboarding process reveal where brands lose customers—not because of lack of effort, but too much of the wrong kind of effort.For anyone seeking practical, actionable guidance on staying ahead in the crowded CX arena, this conversation is a treasure trove. Tune in, challenge your assumptions, and enrich your customer success playbook with these hard-earned lessons on observation, storytelling, and ruthless simplicity.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CustomerSuccessPlaybookPlease Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.

A round half a year ago, when our transition from Eurospy to Heist was written in stone, many of our beautiful listeners told us that a perfect film to smooth that boundary would be the 1964 euroheist caper Topkapi. And on this occasion we really need to hand it to you. You were spot on.

When things are simple and grounded, athletes feel safe to go all-in. What to try: Open sessions with minimal barriers, simple tasks that athletes can immediately attack. Anchor your program in clear, foundational principles. Avoid over-layering. Use simplicity to build confidence before introducing complexity. Is Complexity Distracting Us from What Actually Matters? – [6:08] Tim reflects on times when adding more didn't add value. Too much complexity can distract from what makes athletes feel fast, powerful, or confident. What to try: If a drill looks cool but the athletes are confused, simplify. Choose training elements that resonate emotionally and physically with athletes. Prioritize what sticks with them, not what looks best on social media. What Are Athletes Actually Feeling During a Drill? – [11:55] Tim discusses the disconnect between what coaches see and what athletes actually experience. You won't know unless you ask. What to try: Regularly pause to ask: “What did that feel like?” Adjust based on athlete feedback, even if it means letting go of your favorite drill. Use sensation-based questions to help athletes build awareness (“Did you feel the bounce off the floor?”). How Do We Make Coaching Feel Less Robotic? – [18:42] Athletes shut down when things feel overly mechanical. Tim points out that meaningful training often happens in the gray areas, not the rigidly planned ones. What to try: Let warmups flow with energy, don't always stick to a static script. Mix structure with spontaneity. Athletes should feel like they're moving, not executing code. Lean into athlete body language. Adjust volume and tone on the fly. What If the Goal Isn't Perfection, But Exploration? – [25:30] Tim encourages a shift from perfect execution to active exploration. Growth comes from seeing what might work, not just repeating what's safe. What to try: Create “choose your own path” movement options in skill work. Use sessions that feel like problem-solving, not rehearsing. Acknowledge when athletes take a risk, even if the result isn't clean. Can We Trust Athletes to Self-Organize? – [32:09]

If the chaos of everyday life has you feeling uncertain, or if the unknowns of a purpose-driven project are triggering resistance, this conversation is for you! In this snippet from episode 185, you'll be inspired to embrace uncertainty rather than shy away from it. Kelly is joined by international best-selling author, minimalist pioneer, podcaster, top 25 blogger (ZenHabits.net), and father of six, Leo Babauta. Together, they explore how to live more authentically through a zen lifestyle and how stepping into the unknown can lead to deeper clarity and self-trust. Leo is currently on a mission to change 100 million lives through his uncertainty training program, The Fearless Living Academy, where he helps people who struggle with embracing uncertainty or being consistent in forming positive habits. In this discussion, Leo shares practical strategies to help you move toward uncertainty and take action despite the unknown, manage inner resistance, and rewrite the limiting stories in your mind by leaning into curiosity. He also explains how purpose often lies beyond your comfort zone and how staying in the familiar can hold you back from real growth. Be inspired to tap into what Leo calls the “layer of being” and start embracing the discovery that unfolds when you enter the unknown.

A Note from James:Ryan Holiday is one of the few writers I consider a peer—not just because of the work he's done, but because of the choices he's made along the way. We've both published a lot of books. We've both dealt with audiences, platforms, and the weight of having a “point of view” in a world that increasingly wants you to pick a side. This episode wasn't meant to be a debate or an interview. It was just two people trying to make sense of the tension between creativity and truth, honesty and influence, and why sometimes the best thing you can say is nothing at all.Episode Description:In this candid and far-ranging conversation, James Altucher sits down with bestselling author Ryan Holiday to talk about the changing nature of creativity, writing, podcasting, and personal ethics in a polarized media landscape.They discuss the illusion of having to weigh in on every issue, the danger of algorithmic thinking, and how to stay true to your voice without becoming a prisoner to your audience. Whether you're a writer, a creator, or just trying to think more clearly in chaotic times, this episode offers real insight into the forces shaping our thinking—and how to resist them.What You'll Learn:Why sharing too early can kill creative momentumHow social media shifted from expression to algorithm worshipWhy long-form podcasts might be bad for your brainHow writing differs from other art forms in its tension and permanenceThe tradeoffs between artistic freedom, platform growth, and audience expectationsTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Writing Without Talking About It[01:00] Why Book Ideas Need Time in the Dark[02:00] Creative Compulsion vs. Discipline[03:00] Stand-Up, Dopamine, and Daily Feedback[05:00] Point of View in a Binary World[06:00] Silence, Ethics, and Speaking Up[07:00] Noise as a Form of Violence[09:00] Political vs. Philosophical Disagreements[10:00] Social Media's Shift to Opinion Farming[11:00] The Algorithm as Audience Puppet Master[12:00] When the Audience Has You[13:00] Podcasting's Algorithm Problem[14:00] Are Podcasts Dangerous?[16:00] Podcasting vs. Books: Tension and Craft[18:00] The Rise of the Longform Grifter[20:00] RFK Jr., Bad Ideas, and No Fact Checks[22:00] Why Audiobooks Outperform Podcasts[23:00] Can the Medium Save Us?[25:00] When Podcasts Work (And When They Don't)[27:00] Music and the Emotional Power of Simplicity[29:00] Songs vs. Culture War Commentary[30:00] Great Lyrics, Great Feelings[32:00] Bono, Stoicism, and Making You Feel Seen[34:00] The Parasocial Magic of Fame[35:00] Acting, Politics, and Emotional Truth[37:00] Writing as the Hardest Artform[39:00] Why Great Writing Still MattersAdditional Resources:Ryan Holiday's website: ryanholiday.netThe Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday: AmazonJames Altucher on Twitter: @jaltucherRyan Holiday's books on Amazon: Author PageOlivia Rodrigo – “Drivers License” (YouTube): Watch hereLed Zeppelin lyrics and discography: ledzeppelin.comU2 – “Sunday Bloody Sunday”: YouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
