The tight end position is a huge question mark behind Chargers starter Gerald Everett, but Stone Smartt showed some promise in preseason week two. Donald Parham Jr. is basically a roster lock for Los Angeles but has been somewhat underwhelming during the preseason. Dan and David break down the tight end room at this point and also discuss rookie CJ Okoye continuing to make plays. Having never played organized football, Okoye has impressed at every turn and will likely stick around in 2023. The guys also get into some other surprise players that have taken advantage of their opportunities so far.

Apollo and Meg enter the woods in search of the grove. A geyser spirit or palikos directs them to the gateway to the grove while advertising the woods to the pair. Apollo and Meg are attacked by the ants or myrmeke. Apollo distracts the ants by playing the ukulele, breaking his oath to the River Styx. In the process, another set of ants carry off Meg to their lair.

Check it out below: Michael Schoen (00:00:00) - I love helping people. Um, and I believe in people, and I believe they can learn things. But I think what I'm learning more as I continue to grow and, uh, the more I want to be an entrepreneur, you know, in new successful things that I try to start, is I wanna actually surround myself with people who are way smarter than me, who know a lot more than me. Um, and I'm okay being the person who's a little bit further down the ladder, even if it was my vision. I just wanna continue, are much smarter than myself. Welcome   Intro (00:00:33) - To the how scale commercial real estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.   Sam Wilson (00:00:46) - Michaels Shone is a global real estate brokerage, PropTech, founder and head of real estate for microshare.io. Michael, welcome to the show.   Michael Schoen (00:00:55) - Thanks for having me.   Sam Wilson (00:00:56) - Absolutely. The pleasure is mine. Michael, there are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90 seconds or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now, and how did you get there?   Michael Schoen (00:01:06) - Started in music, uh, in New York City. Um, at the same time as a broker at a, at a small firm called Hunter Real Estate. Um, family was in real estate. Um, I was in music, but really quickly realized that, uh, my skills were within business. Um, so yeah, family was within the garment center for many years. Um, garment Center shifted very quickly when business went over to China at the end of the nineties. Um, my father got into brokerage as a real estate broker for, uh, commercial offices. Um, and that took me, uh, into my first brokerage job in, uh, in New York City after being in music realizing that I need to be on the business side of things.   Sam Wilson (00:02:02) - Wow. Wow, that's really, really cool. I mean, you, you've taken a lot of steps even from then till now. Where, where do you find yourself today?   Michael Schoen (00:02:12) - So, I find myself today after, um, a really wild ride through Covid. I had just started, um, about five years ago, I started a prop tech company called a retail space.com, uh, which is called a r s Data Now, um, and finished product market fit a r s very quickly. Basically was helping people, retailers find retail spaces based on demographics for footfall, uh, mobile tracking. Uh, our competitor at the time was a company called Placer ai, which just joined the, which joined the Unicorn Club. Uh, we went into deep freezes, COVID hit, um, uh, my real estate commercial office business. The ground fell out beneath that. So my wife is from London. And, um, yeah, we took the opportunity to say, let's try something new. Let's meet a new network of people. Let's see if I can, you know, reshape my tech company. Um, and long story short, my neighbor where we moved to in Knotting Hill, um, was head of sales for Europe, for the company MicroShare.   Sam Wilson (00:03:24) - Okay. Okay. I mean, that sounds like a probably disheartening, I would think, at that point. You're four or five years in, you're building a huge company, you got a lot of time and money invested in it, and it just fell out from underneath you. What, what strategies did you employ to really shift your focus and find the next thing you're gonna work on?   Michael Schoen (00:03:43) - Yeah, well look, I mean, the ego, going back to the beginning part of that, it was painful, but I think the ego part of it, uh, was taken out of that because everyone was hit so hard. I think we realized that we had something for the future. Uh, coming out of the craziness of the first stage of covid when people were getting back to somewhat of a normal life, data was just such an important piece to answering so many questions. So we knew to hold onto it, not just close the company. Um, and coming into London, uh, certainly a similar market, uh, to New York, different in other ways, uh, that might be obvious, not as many skyscrapers to start. Um, I found, uh, coming into this market, uh, you know, learning how to meet new people and speaking a new kind of language that I, that I was used to every day in New York. So I probably didn't answer your question there, so we can go back to that if you want. .   Sam Wilson (00:04:43) - No, it was, it was, it was really just the, the question for a lot of entrepreneurs, I think, you know, we have these great ideas. We, we get the product, but we pour our heart and soul into it, and then something dramatic, a black swan event, covid or otherwise happens, and suddenly it's like crud. It, it can be very demoralizing to watch everything you've been working on, just kind of not taken away, but, you know, um, suffer. How did you overcome that?   Michael Schoen (00:05:07) - Yeah, look, I think, um, I've learned even getting hit by Covid, we, we, I I scaled one of the leading, uh, brokerage firms in New York, boutique brokerage firms, beating out Cushman Wakefield, Newmark. I scaled. We worked over a million square feet in New York and researched globally. Um, and when Covid hit and that part of my business died out for quite a while, and then the tech got hit, I realized there's nothing there. There's certain things outta my control. And I've learned even along the way that these are, these are incredible opportunities to not allow yourself to sink into the ground, but just wait for what's coming. I, I have a business coach named Rusty Bergen, who is really, we meditate together. We've, we've, we speak a lot about listening and just being quiet and waiting for that next thing to happen. Cause it all will, it'll all come together at some point outta our control.   Sam Wilson (00:06:09) - Man, that's great. I love that. I love that. Yeah. That, that, that slowing down that quiet space.   Michael Schoen (00:06:15) - Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:06:15) - That is something that, uh, in the noise of today's world, I think is really,   Michael Schoen (00:06:19) - I have two notes from him here on my desk. One says, slow down, and the other one says, clean up. And it's really about just cleaning anything out in front of you when you're just feel frustrated or don't know what that next step is. And it just feels all of a sudden it comes to you. You know, it could be an idea, it could be a phone call that comes in. You just, you can't get caught up in that moment.   Sam Wilson (00:06:42) - Right. No, I love that. I love that. This is great. I appreciate this. Let's talk a little bit about Micro share.io. I know you said that company's kind of shifted. What is microshare.io would love to love to hear?   Michael Schoen (00:06:57) - MicroShare is, um, an incredible company, uh, led by a C E O named Ron Rock, uh, serial entrepreneur, uh, someone who's been employee number one multiple times. So just learning from him has been incredible. But MicroShare is an iot company, um, and as Global Head of Real Estate, we talk to multifamily owners. We talk to office building owners, um, about some of our solutions. The two top solutions we talk to landlords about today, or leak detection, smart leak detection, and, um, a product we have called Evers Smart Clean. Um, how, uh, we can create efficiencies for buildings using our iot solutions. Um, our I o T solutions are in the Denver Bronco Stadium through Aramark, gm, general Motors, general Mills, um, uh, McCormick Center in Chicago. And they, they're globally, um, in Europe. We have more sensors in, in mousetraps than any other company we, we in Ireland. Uh, so yeah, we have a ever Smartt is our solution, uh, name, but we have a bunch of solutions that back that.   Sam Wilson (00:08:13) - Got it. Man, that's a lot of, that's a lot of moving parts. Let's, let's dial back to the, I guess maybe going back to your slowdown comment there. I wanna tie that to where you said learning from him, that was a comment you made about the CEO that you have that's working, uh, that the CEO o I guess, of MicroShare. How have you slowed down and learned from the people that you've brought around you?   Michael Schoen (00:08:37) - So I learned where, where I thought I might be really strong in one area. Um, through seasoned entrepreneurs, I realized that, um, especially with sales in commercial real estate and office, I think that there reached a point where referrals were coming in. It was really easy. But then once I hit the iot world, even with my own company, a R Rs, when you're trying to explain data and iot products, and we always say MicroShare, most people can't even spell iot that we're talking to. Right. Um, you know, um, I've learned that I really have to focus and concentrate on making my point and getting, getting things over the line rather than maybe in the past. I, um, I spent too much time moving on to the next one, getting focused onto one client and getting them to, to buy in and building up from there.   Sam Wilson (00:09:40) - Got it. Got it. It sounds like you've been very successful at bringing incredible talent or surrounding yourself with incredible talent.   Michael Schoen (00:09:48) - Mm-hmm. ,   Sam Wilson (00:09:49) - What, what are, what are some keys maybe that you would give to other people who are looking to kind of repeat what you've done?   Michael Schoen (00:09:57) - Sure. Um, look, and I think it comes even from, uh, when I was in the music world and meeting people. Um, there, I think you just have to let yourself be open. I think you have to, uh, talk to as many people as possible. Um, I think someone who invites that type of energy in when, when, uh, people are coming to you and want to be around you. I think, you know, sales in general, but I think overall you just have to open yourself up more,   Sam Wilson (00:10:30) - Open yourself up more. That's great. That's great. Have ha what, what have been maybe some challenges then that you have faced in building companies and building teams? What are, what are some things that you said, Hey, here was, here was a, a difficult situation and here's how we overcame it.   Michael Schoen (00:10:46) - Yeah. Building companies, building teams. Ooh. Um,   Michael Schoen (00:10:53) - I think one of the hardest things is I, I always try to build teams with people that I've, I've I, um, have been friends with for a while. , I, I made that, I don't, I don't even know that it's mistake cuz I would still hire friends, but I almost now learn not to take things personally. There's been times of building teams, whether it was on my real estate brokerage team or a r s Um, I love helping people. Um, and I believe in people and I believe they can learn things. But I think what I'm learning more as I continue to grow and, uh, the more I want to be an entrepreneur, you know, in new successful things that I try to start, is I want to actually surround myself with people who are way smarter than me, who know a lot more than me. Um, and I'm okay being the person who's a little bit further down the ladder, even if it was my vision. I just wanna continue to surround myself with people who are much smarter than myself. ,   Sam Wilson (00:11:52) - Which, which is the smart thing I think there to do. How do you, how do you, when you, when you meet that perfect a player like, man, this is gonna be the perfect person to work inside of our company. They're way smarter than me. They're way more talented than me. How do you convince that person, I'm convince it's probably the wrong word, but what do you do to make the opportunity enticing to them?   Michael Schoen (00:12:16) - You know what, it's interesting, and I, I, I think I've had a few people follow me now through a few different businesses. Um, it's honestly, I think the, I'm an optimist in general. Um, I think that's also a quality that, uh, I feel like I relate to the current CEO of MicroShare, Ron Rock. Um, I do, I think people are attracted to my optimism that I'm, I know we're gonna eventually get to the finish line. I know we're gonna be able to meet this person. And, and I think if you ask the people who have worked for me for many years, um, they see that we do eventually get there.   Sam Wilson (00:12:58) - No, that's, uh, that's very, very cool. Michael, let's chat a little bit if we can. I mean, you guys with micro share, you guys are selling services to those of us in the c r E space. You're not direct. Maybe you are, maybe you aren't, I don't know, but you're not directly involved in it, I don't think at the moment. But what, tell me, state of the market, like where do you, where do you see us right now? Where are risk being taken? Where are there opportunities? I mean, I'm sure you see stuff worldwide, so give us kind of your views.   Michael Schoen (00:13:27) - So it's interesting, I, um, told myself several months ago I was gonna stop watching the news because it's constantly horrible news . Ok. Um, so, and then you start reading about it, it's, it gets even worse. But look, there's a huge shift in the market even before Covid companies like WeWork and other competitors, WeWork, um, were making a change in the way people work. Right? The, the big news that because I'm so focused on New York, cuz that was my market for many years, I still do a lot of business there trying to sell products that we make, um, you know, some of our solutions into owners in, in the US and in New York specifically. Um, the market is, the office market is a mess. Um, you have all of these buildings that, you know, are sitting, you know, with empty vacant office space. But I think there's a bigger issue.   Michael Schoen (00:14:25) - I think, yeah, the bigger issue has been recently that from the top down, the big REITs are also, you know, having issues now. Um, and, and people are really nervous in general in terms of where the market's going. When is the bottom gonna fall out. You have institutional owners in New York who have had buildings that are probably less than half the value they were and don't know when they're coming back. I mean, the, the, the groups of people that are still leaving the northeast to go to places like Tennessee and, and, and Austin, Texas and Florida is, is real new places like New York and cities like New York and San Fran where the prices are so high for living. It's, it's crazy. I mean, when I moved to London a year and a half ago, London's known as an expensive city. Sure. Cost of living here feels way much cheaper because you get more living space. Food is not a fortune. Um, yeah. It's just wild. Some of these big cities really need to have this shift in, in how they wanna approach, you know, the future now because, uh, companies and people are leaving them.   Sam Wilson (00:15:34) - Right, right. Yeah. I had somebody here on the show recently that they specialize in office space in New York, in New York City, if I could speak today. Uh, and they were saying stuff that was trading maybe eight, 900 bucks a square foot four years ago. Yeah. Not trading. They said, look, we're picking up stuff at three and 400 bucks a square foot. Which Oh   Michael Schoen (00:15:52) - Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:15:53) - I mean, it's astounding. One that's a 50% drop in value. Uh, but then also it's, it's, they felt like that was an opportunity, you know, they said, Hey, this is cyclical. It's gonna be an opportunity. You know, you buy when it's low, you sell when it's high. This is just the way this goes. For   Michael Schoen (00:16:08) - Sure. Look, you've got people like Joe sit who were, you know, legendary buyers, uh, retailers in New York who own a lot of buildings, you know, globally. Um, certainly it's a time to buy. There's a lot of cash out there. It's just the moment of, of, of office. Um, look, I, I grew up in New York. When you walk down the streets and you're bumping shoulders during the day, that's New York. Right? Right. Um, when you go there now, midtown, from 34th to 42nd, the Plaza District, it's quiet, you know, and things get busy on the weekend and at night and that's great, but when you're missing that daytime action, that was always New York for me. And that's what I hope comes back. Look, it's New York. I hope it does. Um, I just think the, from the top leadership of New York, we've gotta figure out how to make it safer. That's the number one thing. Um, and, um, and more affordable.   Sam Wilson (00:17:11) - Yeah. How much, how much of what you see cuz you guys collect, I mean, you guys are, you're a data company, you collect incredible amounts of data. Like is there anything in that data that would, I'm not even sure I can formulate this into an intelligent question, but anything inside of that data that would help you look at the stock and say New York City and say, here's here's an acceptable solution or here, or some potential solutions to do with all to do with all this excess inventory that, that maybe they have right now. Is there anything, is there any tie there that, that comes together? Is it, or am I just dreaming?   Michael Schoen (00:17:46) - No, I mean, look, ars uh, data is, is a tool not just used by retailers to find space, but it's a tool that landlords, developers, um, and the city can use to see how people are moving around, where they're coming from, where they're going. Is this office building really appropriate to be an office building? Should it be a residential building? So certainly that data plays in very, very, very, very important way, uh, to understanding is making those decisions.   Sam Wilson (00:18:21) - Yeah. I guess that the, the way I, the way I would think about that is what does the market want? You can take, sure. You can take that data and say, Hey, what does, what does the market want? Where are people coming from? Why are, you know, oh they, it was, it was kind of crazy. And we may have been using your data on a, um, a research project we were doing down in Miami. I think. So we're looking for Okay. Based down in Miami. And, and it was crazy the amount of, the amount of data that the brokers down there could pull. And of course they were third partying. It, maybe it came from, you know, the stuff that you guys are doing, the back end. Cause it's like, oh, well we see that, you know, 50% of our, uh, people that visit this building just left Publix.   Sam Wilson (00:18:56) - Yeah. And then the Publix, they then got gas over here and we know that they then traveled to just using all that cell phone data map to figure out Yeah. Demographics and the ages and like, oh, then 50% of 'em stop at school on the way home and pick up their kids. You're like, oh, okay. So they have kids, they're from the age 20 to 40, like all of a sudden you could really dial down pretty uniquely into some of those things. And they just wonder, you know, how, how all that data eventually that cities can use this into an intelligent way of saying, you know, what do we do with this enormous amount of office space? Should this be real one,   Michael Schoen (00:19:27) - Should this 100%. Yeah, that's a great way. And, and the way you explained how that is used is, that's why it's so great for a building on owner to understand, do I have the right services at my building? Why is everyone leaving my building to go to this building that they have specific gym or restaurant or, it's a great way of bringing services back. Um, but again, yeah, great way of layering that data to understand like, should this be an office building at all? Should it be a residential building? Should it just be a mall? You know, . Right,   Sam Wilson (00:19:59) - Right. No, I think that's fantastic. Yeah. Like, while the families are leaving. Well why is that? Maybe it's cuz there's no playground or play space for the kids. There's no green space in the yards. There's not, and you can get those, you can pull those data points by polling. But I think having, having just kind of an aggregate data set where you can look at it and, and extract the kind of high level things that people aren't maybe necessarily verbalizing is a pretty cool, pretty cool tool set to have. Michael, this has been a blast having you come on the show today. I feel like I, there's, there's a hundred questions I should have asked you cuz you've, you've got just a wealth of information and growing teams. Oh, thank you. And knowledge. You've, you've built, uh, awesome businesses here worldwide, which I think is absolutely fantastic and across a lot of different, um, lot of different disciplines. Mm-hmm. , I mean, you've gone from brokerage to a tech company to, and it seems, it seems like you've just been able to seamlessly transition from one to the next, which is really, really cool. Learned a lot from you here today. If our listeners wanna get in touch with you, learn more about MicroShare or ARS data or any of those other things, what's the best way to do that?   Michael Schoen (00:20:58) - Uh, best way is my email, which is, uh, m shown@microshare.io.   Sam Wilson (00:21:06) - For those of you who are listening, that's shown. S c h OE n So that's how you spell Michael's last name. Michael, thank you for coming on the show today. I do   Michael Schoen (00:21:13) - Appreciate it. Thanks for having me.

United States v. Avery Smartt

Roberta Grimes Interviews - LISA SMARTT

1 Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. 3 For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4 With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; 5 but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does. 7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. - 1 Peter 4:1–11

Hello and welcome to season 2 of The Human Revolutionaries Show!I've missed you!This season I've set up a whole bunch of interviews (well, conversations really) with people who inspire me with their thinking about the future of work and the issues facing us as we try to create spaces where people can do their best work. It's not just Covid that is changing how we think about work. As today's guest points out, it's also George Floyd 's death and the higher profile of Black Lives Matter as a result, following on the heels of the Me Too movement , we've got very low unemployment rates and much higher awareness of issues around discrimination and privilege. That's why I thought Fudia would be so interesting to talk to. Our internet was a bit dodgy at the start (it gets better!) but it's absolutely worth sticking with it because we talk about recruitment, intersectionality, unconscious bias, the role of the law in changing attitudes and behaviour and some very practical ways you can play a part in making the workplace more fair. I learnt a lot and I hope I asked the questions you're grappling with!You can find out more about Fudia here - https://www.fudiasmartt.com and on LinkedIn The book Fudia mentioned is Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication by Vanessa Van Edwards. You can connect with me on LinkedIn  and message me if you want to discuss any of the topics talked about on the show. Please share this show with colleagues and friends! If we want to revolutionise the workplace we need to get people talking about how things can be better!

Dr. Rachel Smartt on the Brutiful Journey Dr. Rachel Smartt is a naturopathic doctor as well as a Presidential Marketing Director (75 Club) with The Juice Plus+ Company. Dr. Smartt's journey is, as she describes it, “brutiful.” It has been both brutal and beautiful. As you listen to this conversation, you will be taking note after note. Dr. Smartt makes it clear that she doesn't just happen to be better than most at what she does, she has worked hard to become one of the best at what she does. And key to her effort is that she is very strategic about equipping herself with the tools needed to succeed. Many people question, “If I am working so hard, why am I not experiencing more success?” Dr. Smartt helps us understand that effort alone will not get us where we want to go. We have to be willing to examine ourselves in order to identify where we need to improve and then we need to find or develop the tools that cause us to go from good to great. Ultimately, though, Dr. Smartt's story and her advice are all about perseverance, staying positive through some of the most challenging seasons of life, and seeing the beauty even in the brutal so that everything can become your unique way to help others.

Support the show, get bonuses and be cooler than your friends! www.patreon.com/themidnighttrainpodcast  In July of 1979, Glenna Susan "Sue" Sharp and her five children, John, fifteen,  Ohhhhh Sheila, fourteen, Tina, twelve, Ricky, ten, and Greg, five, left her home in Connecticut after separating from her abusive husband, James Sharp, and their excessively turbulent marriage. She decided to take her children to northern California, where her brother Don lived. She began renting a small one-bedroom trailer formerly occupied by her brother at the Claremont Trailer Village in Quincy. Obviously, the cramped trailer wasn't working for the family so, the following fall, she moved to house #28 in the rural Sierra Nevada resort town of Keddie.    The resort was having financial troubles and had converted its once massively successful cabins into low-income housing. The house was much larger than the trailer and had become available when Plumas County's then-sheriff, Sylvester Douglas Thomas, moved out. The cabin was a bit beat up, but there were three rooms and plenty of other families nearby. The oldest son Johnny took the unfinished basement, her youngest boys, Rick and Greg, took a bedroom, Sue and Tina shared a room, and Sheila had a bedroom. The kids all had friends their own ages to hang out with, and, at least for that moment, everyone seemed happy and content.   Sue's ex-husband, James, had been in the Navy so, the family was familiar with moving a lot, and they looked forward to being in one place for a while. However, sue had a hard time making ends meet. She received $250 from her ex-husband, food stamps, and social welfare. She was also enrolled in a federal education program that gave her money to attend classes at the local community college. Sue was taking business classes. Her classmates said she was a good student. Sue worked hard and obtained excellent grades. However, her classmates also said she was a loner; she didn't join in on coffee breaks and preferred studying alone rather than in a group setting. Perhaps years of abuse had taken a toll on her.   Sue faced a lot of stigmatism in the community. People didn't seem like she was on welfare and appeared to date many men. People gossiped, as nosy assholes always do, and accused her of dealing drugs or sleeping with men for money. A significant reason for the gossip was that Sue just kept to herself. She didn't make many friends; this was most likely because she had spent most of her adult life moving and wasn't accustomed to establishing lasting friendships. Coming from someone that moved around a lot, it's always easier to distance yourself than to create relationships that could disappear at any given moment. Sue didn't seem to mind being alone, and she didn't care what the Bridgettes and Mikes of the neighborhood had thought about her. She just looked forward to building her life. She wanted to own a small business, buy a house suitable for the kids and, most importantly, keep them safe.   On April 11, 1981, around 11:30 am, Sue, Sheila, and Greg drove from their friends' residence, the Meeks family, to pick up ten-year-old Ricky, who was attending baseball tryouts at Gansner Field in Quincy. They happened upon the oldest son, John, and his friend, Dana Hall Wingate hitchhiking from Quincy to Keddie and picked them up, then drove about 6 miles (9.7 km) toward Keddie. Two hours later, around 3:30 pm, John and Dana hitchhiked back to Quincy, where they may have had plans to visit friends for a party. Around this time, the two were seen in the city's downtown area.   That same evening, fourteen-year-old Sheila had plans to spend the night with the Seabolt family, who lived in a nearby cabin. At the same time, Sue remained at home with Rick, Greg, and the boys' young friend, Justin. The three boys had spent most of the day riding bikes and playing outside. Damn, I miss those days. Sheila left their home shortly after 8:00 pm, leaving her mother alone with the younger children. Twelve-year-old Tina, who had been watching television at the Seabolt's, returned home around 9:30 pm after Sheila arrived at the Seabolts' to spend the night. So, mom's at home with  Ricky, Greg, their friend Justin and Tina on a Saturday night, just hanging out. John and his buddy were supposed to come home that night, but it was never apparent when.   Little Greg was the first to go to bed around 8:30 pm. Then Tina around 9:30. Ricky and Justin joined Sue to watch Love Boat, and then they went to bed around 10:00 pm. Sue remained on the couch watching TV, dozing off, but not ready to turn in. More than likely, she was waiting for John and Dana to return before calling it a night.   Around 7:00 am on Sunday, April 12, Sheila returned home to change clothes and head to church with the Seabolt's. What she discovered was something out of a nightmare; the dead bodies of Sue, John, and Dana in the house's living room. She recognized her brother John lying face up, covered in blood. Another boy was face down, and they were both tied at the feet. She saw a yellow blanket covering what she thought looked like another body, but she didn't know who. She ran out of the cabin, screaming, back to the Seabolt's who called the police. All three had been bound with medical tape and electrical cords. Tina was absent from the home, while the three younger children—Rick, Greg, and Justin—were unharmed in an adjacent bedroom. Initial reports stated that the three young boys had slept through the incident, though later contradicted. Sheila and James Seabolt Jr. went back to Cabin 28 to find the rest of the family. Looking into the cabin's windows, they saw the youngest boys and Justin sleeping in their bedroom. They woke them up by tapping on the window and insisted that they crawl through it, so they didn't have to see the horrors in the living room. James Seabolt later admitted to having briefly entered the home through the back door to see if anyone was still alive, potentially contaminating evidence in the process.   The murders of Sue, John, and Dana were incredibly ferocious. Two bloodied knives and one hammer were found at the scene. One of the knives (a steak knife later determined to have been used in the murders) had been bent at roughly 30 degrees, demonstrating the amount of aggression administered in the slayings. Blood spatter evidence from inside the house indicated that the murders of Sue, John, and Dana had all taken place in the living room. Tina was still unaccounted for.   This shit is pretty rough, so you've been warned.    Sue was found lying on her side near the living room sofa, nude from the waist down. She had been gagged with a blue bandana and her own panties, which had been secured with tape. She had been stabbed in the chest, her throat was stabbed horizontally, the wound going so deep that it went through her larynx and nicked her spine. On the side of her head was an imprint matching the butt of a Daisy 880 Powerline BB/pellet rifle. John's throat was slashed. Dana had multiple head injuries and had been manually strangled to death. In addition, John and Dana suffered blunt-force trauma to their heads caused by a hammer or hammers. Autopsies determined that Sue and John died from knife wounds and blunt-force trauma. Dana had died by asphyxiation.   Sheila and the Seabolt family (remember, Sheila had spent the night in the with them) heard no commotion during the night; a couple living in nearby house #16 was awakened at 1:15 am by what sounded like muffled screaming. Tina's jacket, shoes, and a toolbox containing various tools were missing from the house. There were no signs of forced entry, meaning the family possibly knew the killer or killers. The house's telephone had been taken off the hook and the cord cut from the outlet. The drapes were pulled closed.   The crime scene wasn't contained. The Plumas County Sheriff's Office initially handled it. Unfortunately, it was riddled with errors and oversights. Deputy Hank Klement was first on the scene, and he confirmed all three bodies were deceased. Sergeant Jerry Shaver was next on the scene and spoke to a group of people outside, taking their statements. At some point, Shaver and Klement walked through the house, "reviewing the scene." Sheriff Sylvester Stillbone Doug Thomas and assistant Sheriff Ken Shanks came to the scene, and then Don Stoy joined them. The scene now had five men walk through it (seven if you consider that James and Sheila had also entered the scene), none of whom knew how to preserve a crime scene. It wasn't until all five men had walked through the home that photographs of the scene were taken. Next, officers did house-by-house welfare checks and interviewed potential witnesses, and it wasn't until several hours that officers noticed Tina was unaccounted for.   Original composite sketches of two suspects based on testimony from Justin, who claimed to have witnessed the crimes. Justin gave conflicting stories of the evening, including that he had dreamed details of the murders. However, he later claimed to have actually witnessed them. In his later account of events, told under hypnosis, Justin claimed to have awoken to sounds coming from the living room while asleep in the bedroom with Rick and Greg. Investigating these sounds, he saw Sue with two men: one with a mustache and short hair, the other clean-shaven with long hair; both wore glasses. According to Justin, John and Dana entered the home and began heatedly arguing with the men. A fight ensued, after which Tina entered the room and was taken out of the cabin's back door by one of the men. Based on Justin's descriptions, composite sketches of the two unknown men were produced by Harlan Embry, a man with no artistic ability and no training in forensic sketching. It was never explained why, with access to the Justice Department's and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's top forensic artists, law enforcement chose to use an amateur who sometimes volunteered to help local police. In press releases accompanying the sketches, the suspects were described as being in their late 20s to early 30s; one stood between 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) to 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall with dark-blonde hair, and the other between 5 feet 6 inches (1.68 m) and 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) with black, greased hair. Both wore gold-framed sunglasses.   Rumors regarding the crimes being ritualistic or motivated by drug trafficking were dismissed by Plumas County Sheriff Doug Thomas. In the week following the murders, he stated that no drug paraphernalia or illegal drugs were found in the home. Carla McMullen, a family acquaintance, later told detectives that Dana Wingate had recently stolen an unknown quantity of LSD from local drug dealers. However, she was unable to provide proof of this claim. About 4,000 man-hours were spent working the case, which Thomas described as "frustrating." In December 1983, detectives ruled out serial killers Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole as potential suspects. (Bonus)   Tina's disappearance was initially investigated by the FBI as a possible abduction. However, it was reported on April 29, 1981, that the FBI had "backed off" the search as the California State Department of Justice was doing an "adequate job" and "made the FBI's presence unnecessary." A grid pattern search of the area covering a 5-mile (8.0 km) radius around the house was conducted with police canines, but the efforts were fruitless.   The hope at the time was that Tina was hiding in the woods. She was known to create forts and hideouts. However, On April 22, 1984, three years and eleven days after the murders, roughly 100 miles (160 km) from Keddie, a bottle collector discovered the top of a human skull and part of a jaw bone at Camp Eighteen near Feather Falls in neighboring Butte County. Shortly after announcing the discovery, the Butte County Sheriff's Office received an anonymous call that identified the remains as belonging to Tina. Still, the call was not documented in the case. However, a deputy assigned to the case in 2013 found a recording of this call. It was at the bottom of an evidence box. The remains were confirmed by a forensic pathologist to be those of Tina in June 1984. Near the remains, detectives discovered a blue nylon jacket, a blanket, a pair of Levi Strauss jeans with a missing back pocket, and an empty medical tape dispenser.   According to truecrimemysteries.medium.com,   The most confusing thing about the homicide was that three young boys slept through the entire ordeal. The killers just left them as potential witnesses. Ricky and Greg supposedly had no recollection, and the first thing they remembered was Sheila waking them. Justin reported telling his mother that he had dreamed he had heard noises in the living room. When he opened the bedroom door, he saw Sue talking to two men, and Johnny and Dana walking in the front door and began arguing with the men, a fight broke out, and Tina came into the room but was quickly taken outside by one of the men. It is important to note that Justin's testimonies changed at various points in his life, and the most detailed recount he gave was under hypnosis. So his statement also doesn't quite align with the evidence, but it is strongly believed that he was a witness, and the trauma of the ordeal is why he doesn't have a robust and consistent memory.   As we mentioned, investigators found two bloody kitchen knives used with such force that one was severely bent, a hammer, and a pellet gun. In addition, each victim had been bound with medical tape and electrical cords taken from various appliances around the home and extension cords.   Evidence collected by investigators were drops of blood on Tina's bed, a bloody footprint in the yard, knife marks on various walls in the home, and a bloody fingerprint on the inside of a door frame and a railing. It is strongly believed that at least two people would have been needed to control the chaos. The killers were also in no rush. The victims died of their wounds, except for Dana. There were lone pools of blood on the living room floor, indicating the boys had been moved and repositioned. The bottoms of Sue's bare feet and one of the boy's shoes were covered in blood, suggesting that they were mobile and had walked in blood at one point. Detectives noted a lack of fingerprints and identifiable DNA left at the scene. This led the detectives to believe that the suspects wore gloves and were prepared. Forensic evidence wasn't collected until the mid-1980s, so hair, skin cells, and other DNA transfers weren't gathered from the scene. All blood at the scene was determined to belong to the victims.   The Plumas County Sheriff's department interviewed everyone in the Keddie cabins and anyone else who knew the victims. Among those interviewed was Justin Eason's stepfather, Martin Smartt. A neighbor and main suspect, Martin Smartt, claimed that a claw hammer had inexplicably gone missing from his home. Plumas County Sheriff Sylvester Thomas, who presided over the case, later stated that Martin had provided "endless clues" in the case that seemed to "throw the suspicion away from him." In addition to interviewing the Smartts, detectives interviewed numerous other locals and neighbors; several, including members of the Seabolt family, recalled seeing a green van parked at the Sharps' house around 9:00 pm.   According to Smartt, on the night of the murder, he, his friend John "Bo" Boubede, and his wife Marilyn had stopped at Sue's cabin to invite her to the bar with them. Sue declined, and they went to the bar. Smartt complained to the manager about the music being played at the bar. They left shortly afterward and headed back to the Smartt cabin, walking by cabin 28. Marilyn went to bed around 11 pm, and the men went back to the bar to have more drinks. He said that he and Bo had returned home around midnight. Since the police hadn't released information that a hammer was missing from the crime scene, this put Martin at the top of the suspect list.   Martin had met Boubede a few weeks before April 11, while in a Veterans hospital where Martin was receiving treatments for PTSD from serving in Vietnam. The Smartt's moved Boubede into their home until he could get on his feet. Boubede allegedly didn't think highly of Johnny Sharp calling him a "Punk." Boubede had told the people in Keddie that he had been a cop, and Martin was friendly with most officers. Someone in the sheriff's department allegedly tipped off Martin and Boubede that they were suspects, and both men quickly found work outside of California. Boubede was thought to have gone back to Chicago, and Smartt found a job in Nevada. Boubede died in Chicago in 1988. Martin Smartt wasn't the best husband. He was said to have cheated on his wife. He was abusive and prone to violent outbursts and sold drugs. He had worked at the Keddie hotel as a cook but had been fired some weeks before the murders. Sue, Martin, and Marilyn had all been taking the same business courses, and it was said that Sue had been counseling Marilyn on leaving her husband. After April 11, Martin took work in Nevada, and his marriage to Marilyn began to deteriorate. He had sent her a letter where it sounds as though he is confessing to the murders. The letter reads as follows:   "I've paid the price for your love, and now I've bought it with four lives and you tell me we're through. Great!"   They did divorce eventually, and Marilyn got remarried.  Martin regularly saw a counselor for his PTSD. According to the counselor, Smartt admitted that he had "killed Sue and Tina but had nothing to do with the boys. Tina had to be killed because she had seen everything". The counselor allegedly told Plumas County Sheriff's Office what Smartt had told her, but there is no evidence of that statement ever taken. Martin died of cancer in Portland, Oregon, in June 2000. However, Marilyn did go on the record to state she believed her ex-husband and Bo Boubede were responsible for the murders. After she had gone to bed, she said they went back to the bar, and at 2 am, she woke up to find them burning unknown items in the woodstove. Although there is no evidence to corroborate her statements, it would explain why Justin was left with the younger boys sleeping. It may also explain why Justin's story changed, he could have blocked it from trauma, or he may have been threatened to stay quiet.   Keddie and the rest of Plumas County were never the same after April 11. It changed the community, and people were haunted. Many believed that someone among them had or knew who had committed the attacks. People began locking their doors at night. There were strong beliefs in the community that the Plumas County Sheriff's Office had quietly tucked the case away. Many believed that some leads weren't followed, evidence wasn't checked, some evidence was ignored completely.   The house in which the murders occurred was demolished in 2004.  In 2016, a hammer was found in a pond near Cabin 28 by someone using a metal detector in the area. It matched the description of the hammer Martin had claimed to have lost and it and a knife that was also found at the scene was taken into evidence by Plumas County Special Investigator Mike Gamberg. Plumas County Sheriff Hagwood, who was sixteen years old at the time of the murders and knew the Sharp family personally, stated: "the location it was found... It would have been intentionally put there. It would not have been accidentally misplaced." Gamberg also said that six potential suspects were being examined at that time.   In April 2018, Gamberg stated that DNA evidence recovered from a piece of tape at the crime scene matched that of a known living suspect. No word on if they have been any aid to the investigation. There is still a $5,000 reward for any leads leading to an arrest and prosecution. The lead investigators currently working on the case are confident that they will have this solved soon. They are quoted as saying, "There are persons of interest still living who knew or participated in this crime and should now be worried." Sheila Sharp continues to work with law enforcement and the media to keep her family's cold case alive. Gamberg and his partner Hagwood say they are closer now to solving this case than ever before. "I think it would lift an incredible weight to clear the dark skies that have hung over that community and the surviving family members," Hagwood said.  The surviving family members have been severely impacted by this case.  "Things came to an abrupt screeching halt. Opportunities and experiences that were denied. By such a cruel heinous act. It's unforgivable," Hagwood said.  To solve this case, a weight would be lifted. Darkness would no longer cloud Keddie and the minds of all those involved. "I believe in one-way shape or form we are going to pull this together," Detective Gamberg said.  Anyone with information is asked to call the Plumas County Sheriff's office at (530) 283-6360.

As an actor and communications coach, Bill Smartt knows how to speak to the room — both in person and online. Bill has been working with Postlight for years, and this week, he joins Paul and Rich with tips on how to communicate effectively and give that presentation you're nervous about. He breaks down how to structure your deck, shares how to make eye contact on a video call, and discusses the importance of rehearsing.

Today's podcast is something a little different because instead of talking about our market from the inside we will be looking at it through the eyes of insurance professionals who access our products and services from the outside. What do our customers really think of us and what are they looking for when they come into the international insurance and reinsurance markets looking to do business? Michał Chmielewski Deputy Chairman (left) and Tomasz Libront President (right) have built Smartt Re into a significant independent reinsurance broker in the highly competitive and fast-growing Polish market. Their report card on the London and International insurance markets makes for really interesting listening as well as their description of the huge opportunities as well as the significant  challenges facing the largest market in Central and Eastern Europe. Michal and Tomasz are very open and frank about their experience and some of the observations are frankly eye-opening, so for anyone looking to learn what makes an independent local broker in emerging markets tick and what they are really looking for in an international partner this should be required listening.

Three-year-long roommates Nathan Smartt '22 and Luke Gilbert '22 sit down for a conversation filled with laughter surrounding senior year reflections, dorm "marks," and the keys to successfully rooming together.

Dr. Steven Schauer joins us to discuss supraglottic airways.

Lisa Smartt, MA, is a linguist, educator, and poet. A person’s last words often take on an eerie significance, giving tantalizing clues about the ultimate fate of the human soul. Until recently, however, no one had systematically studied end-of-life communication by using examples from ordinary people.   Linguist Lisa Smartt changed all that with the Final Words Project, which she established in conjunction with world-renowned afterlife expert Raymond Moody. The project chronicles the linguistic patterns and themes behind the words people speak as they leave this world behind. Smartt's book  Words at the Threshold: What We Say as We’re Nearing Death (New World Library, March 15, 2017) shares the findings of her research into this unchartered territory.

In April of 1981, a violent crime would tear apart a quiet town in northern California.Keddie is a small town in the Sierra Nevada mountains, located roughly halfway between Redding and Reno. Originally established as a stop along the railroad, the area was in the middle of a total transition when the Sharp family moved there in the latter half of 1980. On the morning of April 11th, 1981, 14-year-old Sheila Sharp was returning from a neighbor's house following a sleepover. That was when she discovered the gruesome crime scene that had been left behind... and the vile mystery that would haunt her (and the rest of Keddie) for the next four decades...

I'm super excited to have Jessica Smartt with me today on the Thriving Beyond Belief podcast! Jessica Smartt is a former English teacher turned homeschooling mama of three. A week after her first baby was born, she began her motherhood blog, Smartter Each Day. Jessica and her husband live in beautiful North Carolina, where she loves hikes with kids(mostly), steaming coffee in the afternoon, family bike rides, and anything that's ever been done to a potato. I love Jessica's heart behind this book and what came about for her to write it. She reminds us that celebrations are not man-created, but something the Lord created. We see biblically that there are festivals and events to remember what the Lord had done. We should do the same thing in our lives today, celebrating those moments that the Lord is faithful in our lives. Celebrations are a blessing from the Lord and something to embrace in our everyday lives! Comparison and competitiveness are some other topics we discuss in the sense of motherhood. Our culture, with the influence of social media, has led to comparison in the circles of women and mothers. Jessica discusses how to make things special in your own home without the burden of trying to keep up with others. She beautifully reminds us of the point: that we are to do everything in our lives with our focus on the Lord. The point of these celebrations is not to make your calendars busier or more hectic, but for them to be a genuine time of enjoying your family and celebrating what the Lord has done in a special way. Jessica will be the first one to tell you that her and her family's life is anything but calm! In fact, all of what the Lord has laid on her heart about taking time to celebrate came from a season of busyness that left her family not seeing the Lord in the everyday moments. She felt the Lord telling her then and there to slow down and be able to see Him in the small moments of their lives. Jessica and her family still live in this fast-paced world like everyone else, and still have busy schedules. But they have taken on some traditions that are special to their family and have chosen to keep those sacred. What’s the solution to gaining the balanced, meaningful life you desire with your family? Create traditions that bring joy and significance. Popular "Smartter Each Day" blogger and mom of three, Jessica Smartt explains in her book, Memory-Making Mom: Building Traditions That Breathe Life Into Your Home She also offers practical encouragement to modern parents to keep on adventuring—even when they are fighting distractions, are on a budget, and exhausted. I loved today's episode because of the intentionality in which Jessica lives her life! I hope it inspires you to do the same in your own family!

On the new episode of Graceologie my guest is Jessica Smartt, author of the new book, Memory Making Mom.

A person’s end-of-life words often take on an eerie significance, giving tantalizing clues about the ultimate fate of the human soul. Until now, however, no author has systematically studied end-of-life communication by using examples from ordinary people.

Until recently, however, no one had systematically studied end-of-life communication by using examples from ordinary people. Linguist Lisa Smartt changed all that with the Final Words Project, which she established in conjunction with world-renowned afterlife expert Raymond Moody. The project chronicles the linguistic patterns and themes behind the words people speak as they leave this world behind.  Smartt’s research was initially inspired by what she saw and heard in the three weeks her father spent dying from complications related to radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Within four years, she had collected hundreds of utterances analyzed for their linguistic patterns and themes. Words at the Threshold:What We Say as We’re Nearing Death shares the findings of her research into this uncharted territory. Smartt collected accounts and transcripts from health-care providers, friends, and family members of the dying. She gathered over fifteen hundred English utterances, which ranged from single words to complete sentences, from those who were a few hours to a few weeks from dying. Her book, which offers stories and data from her research, aims to help readers better understand how to engage with those they love in their final days. It also offers a rational exploration of the question of an afterlife. “My hope is that Words at the Threshold offers insight into sometimes incomprehensible utterances of those at the end of life, and that it will give you a vocabulary for speaking not only about dying but also about consciousness,” writes Smartt. “The more at ease we are with the language at the threshold, the greater comfort we can bring to those who are dying and to all those dear to our beloveds.”

This week on Relationships 2.0 my guest is Lisa Smartt author of Words at the Threshold: What We Say When We’re Nearing Death About the book: What Our Last Words Reveal About Life, Death, and the Afterlife A person’s end-of-life words often take on an eerie significance, giving tantalizing clues about the ultimate fate of the human soul. Until now, however, no author has systematically studied end-of-life communication by using examples from ordinary people. When her father became terminally ill with cancer, author Lisa Smartt began transcribing his conversations and noticed that his personality underwent inexplicable changes. Smartt’s father, once a skeptical man with a secular worldview, developed a deeply spiritual outlook in his final days ― a change reflected in his language. Baffled and intrigued, Smartt began to investigate what other people have said while nearing death, collecting more than one hundred case studies through interviews and transcripts. In this groundbreaking and insightful book, Smartt shows how the language of the dying can point the way to a transcendent world beyond our own. About the author: Lisa Smartt, MA, is a linguist, educator, and poet. She is the author of Words at the Threshold: What We Say When We’re Nearing Death (New World Library 2017). The book is based on data collected through The Final Words Project, wwwfinalwordsproject.org, an ongoing study devoted to gathering and interpreting the mysterious language at end of life. She has worked closely with Raymond Moody, guided by his research into language, particularly unintelligible speech. They have co-facilitated presentations about language and consciousness at universities, hospices and conferences.

Do you believe in life after death? Does consciousness exist outside our bodies? Does the language of the dying points the way to a transcendent world beyond our own? For this special Soul Series episode of Life on Purpose, my guest is author, linguist, educator, and poet Lisa Smartt who founded the Final Words Project, an ongoing study devoted to collecting and interpreting the mysterious language at the end of lives. Lisa joined me for an inspiring conversation about her new book, Words at the Threshold: What We Say as We’re Nearing Death (New World Library), in which she decodes the symbolism of those last words, showing how the language of the dying points the way to a transcendent world beyond our own. She shares the compelling language she has heard and the coherency that emerges in even the most puzzling phrases. She also provides tools for more meaningful communication with loved ones who are at the end of life. And we discuss her work with Dr. Raymond Moody, the pioneering researcher who coined the term Near Death Experience (NDE) in the 1970s. “Words at the Threshold marks a new era in the understanding of the process of dying. Lisa Smartt’s work has profound psychological, spiritual, and clinical implications for the care of terminally ill patients and their families. And I believe that her work also opens unexplored pathways for the genuinely rational investigation of human kind’s deepest mystery: the prospect of life after death.” — from the foreword by Raymond Moody Jr., MD, PhD, author of Life After Life About: Lisa Smartt, MA, is a linguist, educator, and poet.

  Let success surprise you, with Natasha Khazanov Give yourself a hug and other tips from a neuroscientist Her success came as a surprise. When Natasha made her decision to leave Russia to seek a better future for her son in the US, she was sure that she was sacrificing her own career for good. But her entrepreneurial journey was just about to begin.   From sacrifice to success What is the story of how you got on this path, what was your call to adventure? I left Russia because of the turmoil at that time. My motivation was to create a better life for my son. I was willing to sacrifice my career to make it happen for Andrew. I didn’t think I would be successful professionally. I was hired at UCSF, one of the best schools in Medicine. The department needed me to be a therapist. I didn’t like it. It was too ambiguous. Too fuzzy. Twenty-six years down the road I know that this is my calling – helping people to be happy and more resilient. In my wildest dreams honestly I could not imagine that I could be teaching at UCSF, that I could testify in the Supreme Court, that I would have a thriving private practice in therapy. My assumption that was you need to speak good English. I wasn’t fluent. I surprised myself.   How parents influence our professional life So many limiting beliefs could have held you back, but you didn’t let that hold you back because you had this bigger desire at heart? I did have that. But I also had another tool. I downloaded the voice of my father. My dad was the ultimate incredibly effective parent. My dad parented me in a way that was intuitive. He didn’t know a lot about the science or the art of parenting. But he was wise and smart. The download from my early childhood was “you can do whatever you want. Whatever you put your mind to you will be successful, because you are competent. You can make mistakes and because you are competent you will be able to recover from you mistakes”. My mom was the opposite. She was very critical. Her downloads were “Who do you think you are?” I think this was my motivator to be a parenting coach and parenting expert. I realized that when you have these two sets of voices in your head, one of them is helpful and the other is hurtful. Overtime I was able to identify my mom’s voice as not very helpful and replace it with my dad’s voice.   Examining ourselves just enough What would you say to somebody who is thinking “I don’t think I have had an empowering voice my life”? Maybe both parents were critical, or a single parent who was always busy. What can this person do to help parent themselves right now. There are different ways to replace hurtful voices with helpful voices. It is never too late. We are never done. Even if our parents are very competent and good, still we develop unhelpful voices. This is the work of self-exploration. Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living”. It is true, so we need to examine our lives. But a lot of times we live the over-examined lives. We are stuck in our heads. We examine our lives by being critical to ourselves and beating ourselves up for our failures. So my prescription to changing ourselves is living our lives that are examined just enough. That means paying attention to our feelings. Knowing where they showing up in our bodies. Feelings are very physical, so it is not about thinking. It’s about being present, and allowing feelings to show up.   Overcoming the fear of rejection When you started doing work on your own and developing your SMARTT method, what kinds of barriers came up for you? It was hard. When I opened my private practice, it was scary. It wasn’t as scary as it is now to launch my SMARTT Parenting because there is no guarantee that people will like it. Fear of rejection is the most visceral fear for all of us. The only way I was able to overcome my fears is being gentle, kind, and forgiving to myself. And using my SMARTT approach on myself. The same part of our brain lights up in fMRI when we experience social rejection as when we have physical pain. Sometimes it is easier to be in physical pain than be socially rejected.   Transformations My mom passed away recently. She was my critical parent. I had an amazingly beautiful experience with her before she died. I used my SMARTT tools to connect with her in a way that was kind, loving, forgiving, and pretty profound. My mom was not probably parented in the way that was stellar. My mom was educated and smart, she was a physician. But she was not emotionally intelligent. I saw the transformation in my mom at the end of her life and that was beautiful and amazing.   Facing our feelings to succeed Acknowledge, welcome all your feeling. No good or bad, right? A part of my upbringing was the notion that you were allowed to have one feeling at a time. If you were angry, go in your room and clear your anger. Feelings show up and they are messy. Acknowledge you may be fearful or anxious. Then you can surround your feeling with feelings of compassion to yourself, forgiveness. Being gentle. You can even hug yourself. When your body feels safe, your brain works better. You are more creative, more perceptive.   Our favorite tips from Natasha: Don’t let language or cultural barriers get in the way of success. Welcome the hurtful and helpful voices from childhood. To work through the critical voice, use movement and breathing. To overcome fear, be gentle, kind, and forgiving to yourself. Use the SMARTT tools to connect with children and with parents Avoid over-examining or under-examining your life. Be present, pay attention to your feelings and how they show up in your body. Usher in and welcome all feelings. To feel safe and be more productive, give yourself a hug.   Resources and Links: Visit her parenting website: www.smarttcoaching.com Visit her therapy website: www.natashakhazanov.com Follow her on Facebook (SMARTT Parenting page and SMARTT Mamas group)   Quotes “Fear of rejection is, in my opinion, the number one reason why people don’t take risks. And when we don’t take risks we are not going to be successful.” “All my feelings, comfortable or uncomfortable, are good feelings. In my book, there is no such thing as negative feelings. All of them are signals.”   Did you enjoy the show? Let us know your biggest takeaways in the comments.
