Podcasts about stereotypically

Very classy, very demure, very mindful…that's how the new TikTok trend that recently went viral from creator Jools Lebron says we should be in the workplace. We should be presentable, wear minimal, clean makeup, and not take up too much space. In other words, we should be bringing a muted version of ourselves to the workplace. Bonnie Hammer, Vice Chairman of NBC Universal and author of: “15 Lies Women Are Told At Work: The Truth We Need To Succeed” has a different take. She says work doesn't have to be the place where we leave our “fun” real selves behind, not anymore. Listen in to hear the other outdated lies Bonnie says are holding us back at work and the truths we need to succeed.  Takeaways: You can embrace fun, humor, and collaboration at work and still be taken seriously. Follow the opportunities and be open to learning new skills rather than focusing on chasing one big dream. Personal worth and professional worth and not the same thing. In a professional setting, it's important to work hard to prove yourself.  Stereotypically female characteristics, such as empathy and collaboration should be seen as strengths in the workplace, not weaknesses.  Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 2:55 Embracing Fun and Authenticity in the Workplace 04:33 Following Opportunities Instead of Chasing Dreams 08:14 Differentiating Personal Worth and Professional Worth 13:54 Embracing Stereotypically Female Characteristics as Strengths 19:52 Supporting and Uplifting Women in the Workplace 29:54 Embracing Change and Paying It Forward 35:00 Transition to Mailbag Segment 38:00 Mailbag Question 1: Pre-retirement, should I pay off my home or put more money into an annuity?  43:00 Mailbag Question 2: I want to retire when I'm 56, do I have enough saved?  Have a question for us?

In this episode, Rob explores the world of luxury supercars with Carl Hartley, one of the UK's biggest supercar dealers. From McLaren P1s to Lamborghini Miuras, Carl reveals insider insights on the most coveted vehicles, their values, and the intriguing quirks of different car brands and their buyers. Carl Reveals: The reliability issues with McLaren's entry-level sports models The first-ever supercar now valued at a staggering 2 million pounds The fascinating origin story of Lamborghini, detailing how a tractor maker's frustration with Ferrari led to the creation of a legendary supercar brand Rolls-Royce are discontinuing combustion engine models for convertibles The Mercedes race car that's never raced! The stark difference in buying behaviours between Lamborghini and Porsche customers BEST MOMENTS "This is a McLaren P1. Yeah. This is a special car. This is numbered one of 375 in the world. Only 1500 miles in a special MSO. MSO means McLaren special operations." "Lamborghini charge 1,800 pounds for the sticker. So the sticker that makes it look worse" "McLaren do carry this stigma and it's pointless saying that me not acknowledging it, they do carry the stigma that  McLaren are a nightmare to deal with. They're the worst company." "Stereotypically, a Porsche buyer is exactly the opposite. Like, my business partner researches for 20 years. Yeah, goes and sees the car three times, then probably doesn't buy one. And then waits for the bottom of the depreciation curve." "We're going to spend about 25,000 on getting it re-commissioned for someone else to not drive it for 25 years. And it's a shame because they drive so well. They drive really, really well."

Perhaps the most heated, contentious, and difficult topic in Western World today is the topic of abortion. For those in favor of it, it is a part of basic reproductive rights and necessary for ensuring full equality of women. For those against, it is the slaughter of unborn life on the altar of convenience. Which position is right? Stereotypically, the church has sided with the pro-life camp, and many today continue in that tradition. Dr. Calum Miller is one such person. In this second part of our two-part episode, we ask Dr. Miller to defend the stance that human life does, indeed, begin in the womb.

In this episode, Daniella Alpher, VP of Marketing at RevealSecurity joins Maria and Gianna to discuss Israeli vs American cyber marketing.   To begin, Daniella shares that she began her career in film and television as a producer for ABC News. In the early 2000s, tech began threatening the television industry. This inspired her to get a degree in business administration and enter the tech sector, specifically focusing on marketing. Next, Daniella highlights the differences she has noticed working as a marketer in Israel vs. America. 10% of attacks at a national level are directed at Israel, 40% of investments in cybersecurity go to Israeli companies and 16% of  cybersecurity vendors are Israeli. Compared to the size and population of Israel tech (specifically cybersecurity) is a huge income-driving sector for the country.  In the last 20-30 years, Israel also built a large strength in product and development of cybersecurity products. In more recent years, it has naturally become a hub for cybersecurity marketing.   For most Israeli startups, the sales portion is often based in the U.S. Marketing, however, is often a mix between the two companies. In Daniela's experience, American marketing tends to have a more long-term philosophy, while Israelis often have a much shorter-term strategy for survival. Israeli marketers are still learning the importance of branding over performance. Most Israeli marketers are focused on selling in the U.S., but it is rare for a U.S.-based company to consider marketing in other countries. Stereotypically, Daniela shares, Israelis tend to come off rude, aggressive, and emotional to American analysts, whereas Americans are the opposite. Then, there are those smaller, technical differences like the use of WhatsApp vs. Slack for digital communication and group messages.   Before wrapping up, Daniela engages alongside our hosts in a fun guessing game to reveal what career she would pursue outside of the cybersecurity marketing field.   Links:   Follow Daniella on Linkedin.

The collective energy of each new year inspires people to make changes they believe will bring more happiness and success. We all know how the New Year's resolution trend goes. Stereotypically, January finds gyms full, liquor cabinets empty, and fridges stocked with leafy greens. By spring, most of the promises made in the attempt to improve our lives lie broken, collecting dust in the basement. We take this to mean we've failed or that our will power simply wasn't strong enough. We didn't push ourselves hard enough. Oakley knows the struggle of pushing herself beyond her limits and would like to offer a gentler approach. Before being catapulted into a new phase of her healing journey through a life-threatening car accident, she was doing all the right things. She worked out, meditated regularly, and drank green juice. Her professional life was thriving. But she knew something wasn't right. Her body was trying to process her unconscious programming still present from childhood. After her accident and a Lyme's Disease diagnosis, Oakley was forced to come face to face with her own darkness. That journey is what led her to utilize meditation and visualization to bring in more joy. Using neuro-linguistic practices helped her create new pathways in her brain that opened her heart and released old negative patterns. Now she guides clients and listeners in this life-changing practice to redirect the brain. Taking sovereignty over our thought processing is the best resolution for transforming every facet of our inner and outer lives. Main Topics: Oakley's negative thought patterns from childhood that prevented her from experiencing joy (03:40) Internalizing trauma from childhood as normal (08:40) Despite using all the external tools, Oakley still struggled with finding inner peace (13:50) Overactive will power was one factor that led to chronic inflammation in Oakley's body (17:20) A visualization tool to change your beliefs and call in love-based feelings (24:15) Box Breathing practice for emotional triggers (28:00) How approaching change from the inside out transformed Oakley's life (31:00) Want to learn more or apply to be a guest on Sex, Drugs and Enlightenment?Check out the website!https://www.sexdrugsandenlightenment.comConnect with Oakley:https://oakleyogden.comhttps://www.instagram.com/oakleyogden/https://www.linkedin.com/in/oakley-ogden-7a86b112/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxn6BnlaAAK_i9utOIg2KOQListen, rate, and subscribe!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Touch reality as soon as possible (when doing machine learning research), published by Lawrence Chan on January 3, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Related to: Making Beliefs Pay Rent, The Feeling of Idea Scarcity, Micro-Feedback Loops and Learning, The Three Stages of Rigor, Research as a Stochastic Decision Process, Chapter 22 of HPMOR. TL;DR: I think new machine learning researchers often make one of two kinds of mistakes: not making enough contact with reality, and being too reluctant to form gears-level models of ML phenomena. Stereotypically, LW/AF researchers tend to make the former mistake, while academic and industry researchers tend to make the latter kind. In this post, I discuss what I mean by “touching reality” and why it's important, speculate a bit on why people don't do this, and then give concrete suggestions. Epistemic status: I'm pretty frustrated with how slow I write, so this is an experiment in writing fast as opposed to carefully. That being said, this is ~the prevailing wisdom amongst many ML practitioners and academics, and similar ideas have been previously discussed in the LessWrong/Alignment Forum communities, so I'm pretty confident that it's directionally correct. I also believe (less confidently) that this is good advice for most kinds of research or maybe even for life in general. Acknowledgments: Thanks to Adrià Garriga-Alonso for feedback on a draft of this post and Justis Mills for copyediting help. Introduction: Broadly speaking, I think new researchers in machine learning tend to make two kinds of mistakes: Not making contact with reality. This is the failure mode where a new researcher reads a few papers that their friends are excited about, forms an ambitious hypothesis about how to solve a big problem in machine learning, and then spends months drafting a detailed plan. Unfortunately, after months of effort, our new researcher realizes that the components they were planning to use do not work nearly as well as expected, and as a result they've wasted months of effort on a project that wasn't going to succeed. Not being willing to make gears-level models. This is the failure mode where a new researcher decides to become agnostic to why anything happens, and believes empirical results and only empirical results even when said results don't “make sense” on reflection. The issue here is that they tend to be stuck implementing an inefficient variant of grad student descent, only able to make small amounts of incremental progress via approximate blind search, and end up doing whatever is popular at the moment. That's not to say that these mistakes are mutually exclusive: embarrassingly, I think I've managed to fail in both ways in the past. That being said, this post is about the first failure mode, which I think is far more common in our community than the second. (Though I might write about the second if there's enough interest!) Here, by “touching reality”, I mean running experiments where you check that your beliefs are right, either via writing code and running empirical ML experiments, or (less commonly) grounding your ideas either in a detailed formalism (to the level where you can write proofs for new, non-trivial theorems about said ideas). I don't think writing code or inventing a formalism qualify by themselves (though they are helpful); touching reality requires receiving actual concrete feedback on your ideas. Why touch reality? I think there's four main reasons why you should do this: Your ideas may be bad When you're new to a field, it's probably the case that you don't fully understand all of the key results and concepts in the field. As a result, it's very likely the case that the ideas you come up with are bad. This is especially true for fields like machine learning that have significant amounts of tacit knowledge. ...

Stereotypically categorized as a “guy” problem, pornography is pervasive in our culture and impacts all of us. Today Jo and Producer Kyle chat about…

In today's video we're going to be discussing some toxic sayings that if a woman brings up, it could suggest it's time to get out of that relationship.  These are some toxic things people say that indicate they don't love you and may suggest a woman is using you. When a girl doesn't care about you or has narcissistic traits you may start to recognise some of these toxic phrases. This is often a clear sign you should breakup and get away from this type of relationship. As we grow up we learn what's right and what's wrong. Left from right, up from down and so on. And the people we meet will help us navigate our way through different scenarios. Along the way we hope to meet a partner that will love us for who we are and help us become a better version of ourselves every day. Stereotypically, men are seen as the toxic ones in relationships as it has been scientifically proven that the male brain doesn't mature until the age of 45.  So half of the male population struggles to convey their emotions which can make things very difficult when in a relationship. And women often feel like they have to drag things out of their partners because the communication is very minimal. However, this is not always the case. Women can just be as toxic as men even if the red flags are not as obvious. Now don't worry, we understand that trying to spot the red flags can be difficult. So we've dived deep into the minds of women and found some very obvious red flags you should avoid at all costs if you want to survive the dating world. #Joyanima #Toxic #Dating 0:00 Intro 1:10 Toxic phrases of women you should avoid 1:17 Get over it 2:14 You are twins 2:57 She brings out a list 3:53 The silence 5:14 It's just a joke

Today's episode is a foundational one. In the world of connected parenting, one of the primary ways we give our kids what they need is to balance the amount of nurture and structure given. Stereotypically, 'traditional' parenting tends to rely on an intense amount of structure, but can lack on nurture - while 'new age' parenting tends to rely on very high nurture, but lacks boundaries and structure in place to help give kids predictability. We all tend to go to one side or another naturally, so today we asked Jesse Faris and Becca McKay from the ETC Team to help us with some practical strategies and ideas for how to balance giving structure when needed and nurture when needed.

In this episode, Matt & Jenn answer listener questions about some of the nuances of the sexual pursuer/responder dynamic.In all marriages there is a sexual pursuer and a sexual responder. But these roles are not static. In various circumstances and seasons these roles may change in your relationshipOne example is when a pusher is constantly rejected. It is common for this pursuer to stop pursuing and to withdraw emotionally and sexually.Stereotypically, husbands are usually sexual pursuers, but there is a [not small] minority of wives who are the sexual pursuers in their marriages. There may be many reasons for this, but it does create some unique challenges.Join us at the 2022 Annual Marriage Retreat, September 22-24, in Houston, TX.

Stereotypically, men are supposed to want sex and not want to cuddle. Women are the ones who want to cuddle. Of course, these are stereotypes. Not all men dislike cuddling. Not all women like cuddling. Lion likes cuddling. I do too. However, we've always been more of a sex and The post More Snuggling appeared first on Male Chastity Journal.

Stereotypically, the Finn is thin and tall. He often pauses while speaking to carefully consider his next words. He listens attentively to others with far less impressive resumes…This is the man who appears to be the first in the post-Soviet Union West to be brought up on criminal charges for preaching the Christian message as it has been established for thousands of years.

The Finnish prosecutor claims centuries-old Christian teachings about sex “incite hatred” and violate legal preferences for government-privileged identity groups.”

My name is Joe Dewitt, and this is the crypto breakdown. So over the holiday week, Bitcoin continued to. We had a nice red candle stick on the 26th and the last three days have been somewhat green volume coming in and the upwards direction, which is a great sign for Bitcoin here. We were previously falling down to that target of around 45,000, which was a pretty low zone, which would probably scare a lot of.Here with this little reversal, we are heading back up towards that 58,000, the coin price currently up 6% on the day. The best case for Bitcoin here would be to get a little bit of volume and push above that 58,000 level resistance, which was previously support, flipping that resistance as support, and then continuing to upwards trend to that.64,000 level of resistance would be ideal. If Bitcoin gets rejected from this 58,000 and will continue to fall down to that 45,000 level of support, taking a look over. Theory Ethereum looks surprisingly really good. It is up 7% on the day bouncing between its zone of 40 403,900, which it has been back and forth between for the last two weeks of Ethereum price never fell below.It had a very, very small. And quickly was bought right back up and moving up towards that 4,400 Ethereum does look like it is ready to just claim that resistance level and flip that and support flipping that as support would put us in territory of new all-time highs, which would be very exciting for Ethereum taking a look at the RSI, which is the relative strength in that.Does indicate that there is a little bit of overselling on Ethereum, which means that eventually people are going to come in and buy because the price is becoming oversold. Ethereum can keep up this momentum and stay above the 50 day, moving average and claim this level of resistance. I think it'll gain the momentum.It needs to push for all time. For some reason, if it gets rejected, I could imagine us bouncing between this exact zone because we haven't left it in quite some time. So it is hard to imagine us falling below, also with the London hard fork and the EIP 15 1,559 mechanism with the burning Mack that was burned over I think one minute.Ethereum with the London hard fork and that deflationary mechanism to decrease the supply. I think the price of Ethereum will be growing over the next month. They can look at doge coin. Doge coin is doing the best of them all today, up 10 and a half percent. This morning, those coin was not looking the best for a while.It was falling below that 50 day and 200 day moving. Heading down to its target of about 15 cents. Although it did get quite low reaching about 40% on that relative strength index, which indicated a strong oversold territory, which did cause a little bit of buying pressure here. So we have a nice green candlestick for dose coin today, price currently sitting at about 22 cents.And it does, and look here like those coin could hit a reversal up towards its 25 cent area. In order for that to happen, it's going to need to hop above that 50 day, moving average gain that as. And then push towards that 200 day at about 28 cents now, depending on Bitcoin. And if, if Bitcoin price does it's little fake out here and it gets denied from that 58,000, a dose coin will continue to fall to that 15 cents, just as all coins. Stereotypically tend to fall. Probably section of Bitcoin. So if Bitcoin's fundamentals do stay strong and it does clear that 58,000 and move in the upwards direction, it's very hard to imagine. Dose coin, continuing to fall down. Best case for doge coin would be clearing this 200 day moving average at about 28 cents and making its way up towards its current resistance zone of 35 cents here and today, guys, I'm going to talk about the new and popular coin Omicron which was a play off the new COVID-19 variant and how.So Omicron would fall under the category. For me personally, as a meme coin, it is a coin that was developed as something popular is growing in the real world. And to capitalize on that without necessarily having any really strong utility at the moment, it saw an all-time high of about $712 and is currently sitting at 369.So it had a very, very large selloff. Indicating that it had a very hard hype cycle, which drove price up. It rose over 900% in a day. So with a coin like this, it is really important to look at when a momentum is coming in. Something like Omicron, you do not want to be trading when there's no volume.If there are variable. Transactions coming in. It is not the best time to be trading because the best time to make money is when volume is coming in. So you'll want to wait for what is called a squeeze, which is when price is fluctuating due to the increase in people trading the asset. And that could be done by going on trading view, which is one of the world's most popular technical analysis websites.And you can pull up the squeeze momentum indicator as well as a relative strength index. And it take a look at price. It's good to look at price in general and the direction that it's heading, but taking into account. These indicators really helps because Alma Cron it is a hype coin, so it could easily from here start losing momentum as it could have seen its pump already.And with coins like these, you don't want to invest more than you were willing to lose because it is very skeptical asset. Now on the other hand assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum that are strong fundamentally and have a lot of. Trading those assets are a little different because they have a history of fundamentals and a history of utility.So although it is important to trade with volume because volume on any asset helps move the price of Ethereum and Bitcoin can be accumulated over periods of time. And what I mean by that is buying 20 $50 of Bitcoin every week would be much better than waiting for the dips of these types of. But I like to tell people is time in the market, beats timing the market.If you're going to wait every week, every month, every day for Bitcoin to drop below a certain price that you want to buy at chances are, it will never happen. I can tell you firsthand experience from many years of doing this. When you have a price target in mind, where you want to buy, it will hardly ever get there with very strong fundamentally assets.Like these. You want to be accumulating over a long period of time, which will help produce the best. Don't think about necessarily where the price has, where the price is at this moment. I'm sure it is important, but if you were looking for long-term gains it is important to just accumulate over time.That's all the time we have today. Guys. Thank you so much for tuning in, and I hope you all have a wonderful week. Make sure to follow and subscribe to our podcast and you can follow me on.

Titled Being The First, But Making Sure You Are Not The Last, this conversation has been adapted for the Big Ideas podcast.Jolie:This panel was moderated by CWGE Director, Dr. Kacee Ferrell Snyder and features three guests. Dr. Melissa Miller is Professor of Political Science at BGSU and a former ICS faculty fellow. Dr. Kathleen Coleman is a lecturer of English at the Ohio State University and a recent graduate of BGSU's American Culture Studies PhD program.Jolie:Dr. Lisa Dubose serves as the Director of Human Resources for Employee Relations and Professional Development at BGSU, where she also earned her doctorate in leadership studies, and she has taught for the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame.Jolie:Due to the ongoing pandemic, this round table was recorded remotely via computer. As always, the opinions expressed on this podcast are those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of BGSU or its employees.Jolie:Bowling Green State University is situated in the Great Black Swamp in the lower Great Lakes region. This land is the homeland of the Wyandotte, Kickapoo, Miami, Potawatomie, Ottawa, and multiple other Indigenous tribal nations, present and past, who were forcibly removed to and from the area.Jolie:We recognize these historical and contemporary ties and our efforts toward de-colonizing history. And we honor the Indigenous individuals and communities who have been living and working on this land from time immemorial. Kacee:Hello, thank you all so much for being with us. My name is Kacee Ferrell Snyder. I am the Director of the Center For Women in Gender Equity and the co-Director of the Center For Violence Prevention Education at BGSU. Today, we have some great guests with us to talk about our new Vice President, Kamala Harris, the first woman, and first woman of color into this role of Vice President of the United States.Kacee:In our program today, being the first, but making sure you are not the last, is presented by the Center For Women in Gender Equity and part of the Division of Diversity and Belonging. Our round table participants today are Dr. Melissa Miller, she is an expert on American politics with a specific focus on elections and voting behavior, women inAmerican politics, public opinion in the media. She teaches courses in American government, political parties, voter behavior, women in America, politics, and research methods. In 2016, Dr. Miller was named Master Teacher, which is the highest teaching award on campus.Kacee:Dr. Kathleen Coleman completed a PhD in American culture studies at Bowling Green State University in 2020, so congratulations. She's currently serving as a lecture of English at the Ohio State University. Her research focuses on representations of gender in film, television, literature, and other popular culture texts. Dr. Coleman is working on turning her dissertation, If She Were President: Fictional Representations of Female US Presidents in Film, Television, and Literature into a Monograph.Kacee:And Dr. Lisa E. Dubose is a duly certified Human Resources Administrator with nearly three decades of experience in public and private sector industries. She is currently employed as Director of Human Resources for Employee Relations and Professional Development at Bowling Green State University, where she also earned her EDD in leadership studies. She has instructed as an adjunct at two universities, which include teaching for the past two summers an accelerated master's level, strategic human resources course for the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.Kacee:So thank you all so much for being here for our round table discussion. I'm really excited to hear from all of you and hear your perspectives. So we're going to kind of dive right in here if we could. My first question, and I'm going to ask all of you to answer it. And Dr. Coleman, if you could start, share what your initial reaction was when you found out that a woman was nominated for the VP slot, and/or that there was a woman VP elect?Kathleen:Yeah, it was very exciting. I really didn't think that would happen. I was finishing my dissertation on a similar topic, right as the last woman who was still running for President dropped out of the race. I was literally finishing the last few bits of my manuscript that day that she dropped out. So to find out that Kamala had been picked as Joe Biden's VP choice, I was delighted.Kathleen: And then to have them actually win, I was also delighted, but again, I was surprised. All of my research was indicating that things were not necessarily going to go in that direction for this election cycle, because historically, we've had a lot of trouble getting women past a certain point in that process. And even the women have made it all the way to even the top of the ticket as a party nominee, a major party nominee, no woman had yet actually won the electoral college.Kathleen:So it was a sense of both joy and relief. And also, man, I'm going to have to revise a lot of stuff now in my work, but I'm happy to do that. I think it's a great reason to do that. So yeah.Kacee:Thank you, Dr. Miller?Melissa:Yeah. I actually have two responses. The first was when Joe Biden named Kamala Harris to be his VP nominee, which happened in August. I wasn't surprised, and I think that's kind of a cool thing, that in fact, there has been some normalization of women on a presidential ticket running for President. There had been two prior nominees for Vice President on a major party ticket.Melissa:And there had been a weeks long Veepstakes that I'd been following closely. Joe Biden had signaled that he would name a woman all the way back in March during a debate with Bernie Sanders, so I wasn't surprised. It was more like,"Oh, okay, good pick." I immediately went to my political science brain, "Okay. What does she bring to the ticket?" Et cetera, et cetera. Melissa:But then fast forward to the Saturday after the election which was the day that it became clear and was basically announced in the media that the Biden-Harris ticket had won. I was driving with my teenage son and I suddenly got this chill, and I turned to my son and I said, "I don't know if you understand what a big deal this is. We have our first woman VicePresident."Melissa:I started pumping my arm and my teenage son said, "Mom, you need to calm down or we're going to have to pull over." So for me, it was a little bit of a delay, but a real sense of the historic nature and a real turning of the page in women's political history in the United States.Kacee:Thank you, Dr. Dubose?Lisa:Yes. I mirror what my colleagues have stated. The level of excitement that I had was significant. It's significant because now there was representation of someone who lookedlike me, as a woman, as a Black woman, and as a researcher whose study was on the experiences of leadership advancement of African-American women. It told the different story, and just like my colleagues said, the information that I had gleaned over the time period where I was doing my research showed something else because that's what history dictated.Lisa:But this was a time of a shift, of a change during such an uprising of social injustice related issues. And so the excitement had many layers of it, but of course, key is representation is everything. When you have someone of a diverse background that looks different than what we had typically been seeing over the centuries that we have existed in this country, it tells us that there is acceptance.Lisa:So my initial feeling was that of excitement. And then as a person of color who experienced certain types of discrimination, and who has, as a human resources professional, investigated those types of discriminatory behaviors toward people that didn't look like the majority, I also had a little bit of fear, "What is this going to mean for the ticket? Will this ticket be allowed to actually push forward and win? And will there'll be additional threats that may not have been a consideration if a male had been selected for this position?"Lisa:And so I let that fear be overcome by the joy and excitement to say, "You know what?" It's a new day and we have to be a part of this continuation of change through conversations just like this. And so it's important for us to continue to talk about, yes we can, yes we are, yes we will. And then the third element is that I happen to be in the same sorority as Kamala Harris.Lisa:So as a Senator, and now as the Vice President, she is my sorority sister. So I am very happy to be able to state that as well, but it's very meaningful and I believe it's going to assist in helping to change the dynamic and the fabric of how we move forward in our country.Kacee:Thank you all so much. So Harris talks a lot about those who have come before her, and how important they have been to paving the way for her. She's also said that, although she's the first, she will not be the last woman or woman of color in this position.Kacee:Why do you think it's taken so long for a woman to be in one of the highest positions of government? And why do you think we still have not seen a woman in the highest position? So Dr. Dubose, do you mind starting? And then Dr. Miller?Lisa:Absolutely. Well, we all know the research that is surrounding the glass ceiling, and when it comes to women in the workplace and how there's this impenetrable wall or ceiling that exists, that says, "You can see what's out there for you, but we're not going to allow you to break through that ceiling to achieve it."Lisa: So that barrier is something that's real, there're entire commissions that have done research about it. A Federal Glass Ceiling Commission is one of them, and there's significant research on the Department of Labor website that talks about these trends. Now, when it comes to a woman of color, there's an additional element that is of concern, which is called the concrete ceiling.Lisa:So with the glass ceiling, you see it, but you can't attain it, where there are significant barriers. With the concrete ceiling, what it's stating is we don't know about it, we don't hear about it, and the intent is for us not to achieve that. So that's the precursor of all of the types of barriers that have existed, that prohibited women and women of color from advancing.Lisa:So as we move forward down the continuum of what's happened in our government, there were laws that were put into place to try and abate those issues, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is one of them. And that's Title VII, where it really addresses any kind of marginalization and making sure that there's an entity that is reviewing those kinds of cases that are coming forward, at no cost to those individuals that are feeling as if they're impeded. So we're beyond 50 years with that law, but guess what? We're still facing the same thing.Lisa:So the history of our country has said, "No, you women need to stay in a particular place. You can't have too much ambition. It's okay if you have this level of position, but not the senior level position. It's great for you to be support, maybe beside, but not ahead." And that's not true. We have to catch up with what other countries have done and how they've had women in senior leadership roles, running countries and making a huge difference. We're a super power, so our super powers have to be advanced by understanding that we are able, we are capable, we are knowledgeable, and we are forces to be reckoned with. And if we're at the table, we bring an entirely different discussion, an element that helps us move forward. Lisa:So it has hindered in the past, but every time we make an advancement, it chips away at that ceiling that's glass, and that ceiling that's concrete, and we're going to keep chipping away at it.Melissa:If I can just tag along on everything that Dr. Dubose said, and also add that everything that's true in the workforce, there's been a sort of a companion thread of research among gender scholars in political science and in women's studies, that those very same barriers have been present for women.Melissa:Just to put this in historical context, the first woman to run for President was Victoria Woodhull, who was born in tiny Homer, Ohio. And she ran for President in 1872 as the nominee of the Equal Rights party. She was famously caricatured in a political cartoon by Thomas Nast as literally the devil. But let me just underscore, that's quite a long wait until 2020, the first woman to be elected Vice President. Melissa: The office of President of the United States is the most masculinized elective office, probably in the world. And the traits that people associate with it are strength, decisiveness, authority. These are not stereotypically feminine traits. Stereotypically feminine traits are things like compassion and empathy, and caring, and that's not historically what Americans have been looking for in their President. So there has just been plain outright sexism among voters.Melissa:Now, that of course, has been chipped away at, in the feminism's first wave and the second wave. A lot of progress had been made and women began to enter elective office in greater number, but still that highest glass or concrete ceiling had not been broken. And there are some additional reasons why we have yet to see a woman as President.Melissa:One is that there just are so few women in the pipeline. We think of those stepping stone positions to the office of Vice President, or the office of President. And they are sitting US Senator, sitting Member of Congress, Governor of a key State. And when you think that even as we sit here today, women are just 27% of the US House and 26% of the Senate, and only 18% of Governor's mansions, there just aren't that many women that are there in those stepping stone positions.Melissa:Why is that? Well, so few women run for office and when they do run, they tend to wait until their children are grown up. Whereas a man might run for office for the first time, maybe at the local level, in his 30s. A woman, when she runs for office for that first time, tends to be in her 40s or 50s, which then means she's going to have a much more abbreviated career and won't get up to that maybe US Senate position. Melissa:So that is another key factor. I am just so thrilled, however, that this one glass ceiling has been broken, again, to begin to normalize women at the pinnacle of American politics. And hopefully that will lead to more women being excited, picturing themselves and envisioning being involved politically, and eventually running for office.Kacee:My next question is how does Harris' multiple identities, woman, she identifies as Black, Indian American, she's a daughter of immigrants, those are some of the identities that she holds, how does that play into her role as VP? And Dr. Miller, if you would like to answer that, and if anybody else wants to chime in after, that would be great.Melissa:First, let me say that those multiple identities were a factor in herbeing chosen, and that didn't surprise me at all. And in my view, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. The number one reason anybody gets chosen as Vice President is because of something they bring to the ticket. So we think back to Barack Obama choosing Joe Biden to be his Vice President. Joe Biden had that lengthy resume in Washington, DC, a lot of foreign policy credentials that the ticket needed, that Barack Obama felt would help him get elected. Melissa:So now we look at Joe Biden's selection of Kamala Harris and the fact that she was a woman, and a woman of color in particular, was a real nod, an acknowledgement that women and people of color were absolutely essential to winning in November. So this pick in that regard was normal. She was picked because he felt that she would help him win.Melissa:In terms of those identities going forward, one thing that we'll be looking for is how visible and how prominent of a Vice President she is. In recent decades, Vice Presidents have been more active and been given more responsibilities by the President of the United States. And so I hope that we will see Kamala Harris play a very visible role as a governing partner, because again, the more visible she is, the more she is a role model, the more that normalizes women at the pinnacle of American politics. Melissa:So I'll be interested in watching for what portfolio she has as Vice President, and whether it might dovetail with some of those multiple identities, but at a minimum, if she's visible, she normalizes women and women of color in American politics. And I think will serve as an inspiration to women to hopefully run for office themselves.Kathleen:Can I add something to that too? That's an amazing answer, but I also want to point out that for any of us who take or teach women's studies courses, that we often instruct undergraduates in the idea of intersectionality when by Dr. Kimberly Crenshaw, and we think of intersectionality sometimes as being, here's how your identity markers interlace to increase oppression basically, that someone, if they're a person of color, if they're a person of a non-masculine gender, that it can be a detriment to their success.Kathleen:But I think that in terms of deciding who he wanted to be his Vice President, that Biden was looking at the fact that intersectionality can, as Dr. Miller said, help with representation and help the Vice President speak to multiple constituencies. So I think that multiple constituencies can take inspiration from the new Vice President's identity markers, and that those are all good things.Lisa:I agree with it and I will build on that even further. I used as a reference point in my research, Dr. Siddle Walker and Sneary, and they built upon research talking about the ethic of justice with Rawls and the ethic of care with Yale again. And added to it, it's not just the male perspective we need to consider, it's not just the female position that we need to consider. We also need to add that diversity element into it.Lisa:And when you ask a person who has been typically marginalized, you understand with a little bit greater depth, instead of thinking, "Well, I believe this is what they need." No, it's an inclusive conversation that allows us to give our voice, lend our experiences, which makes the overall outcome better, and it reaches a broader audience. And I'll give an example. There's a couple of different groups that Vice President Harris has mentioned in her acceptance speech.Lisa:And she talked about her experience within sorority life and what that means to the Divine Nine, which is the historically Black sororities and fraternities. And then also, historically Black colleges and universities. That is a huge factions of hundreds of thousands of individuals who could individually vote, but the level of influence that permeates from that group is significant.Lisa:And so that movement was expanded. So you have the female, you have the person of color, you have the educational background that sometimes had been underrated saying, "They can't accomplish certain things," and it has been demonstrated to be inaccurate. And so with this accurate review of who was selected, who was able to show and share that these experiences of her life brought her to the point of being qualified and capable, it's significant, and it made all the difference in the election. So I agree exactly with what my colleagues stated.Kacee:Thank you. I'm going to jump to a question because I think it relates to some of the things that you're talking about. Amanda Clayton, who's a political scientist at Vanderbilt University said that, "Women can either be seen as leaders or they can be seen as feminine, and two don't go together." And so this classic double bind, how do we get past that? How do women who want to go into politics, or who are in politics handle that?Melissa:Let me just say that for listeners to recall, one of the most prominent memories that many of us will have, and it's easy to Google, you can easily Google this and watch it on YouTube. And it was just shocking, but it really brought to millions of television viewers, the double bind in Technicolor. And that was a 2008 Presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, where one of the reporters on the stage pointed out in his question to Hillary Clinton, that New Hampshire voters did, according to the polls, think that she was more qualified to be President, and had the experience necessary for the job more so than her male competitors, and Barack Obama in particular.Melissa:The reporter then went on to say, however, that New Hampshire voters didn't like her as much as they liked Barack Obama. And would she like to respond to that? That was sort of the double bind in a nutshell, that she had the qualities to be President, but it's another way of saying sort of like, "You're not feminine enough." One good bit of news I can report from the world of political science is that recent research on this question is suggesting that the double bind is not as pronounced as it used to be for women on the ballot.Melissa:So there was an interesting study by Deborah Jordan Brooks of Dartmouth, and she did a series of experiments in which she asked voters to read a mocked up news article that she made it look like an actual news article, about a US Senate candidate. And there were different news articles that she used. One was about a candidate who broke down, crying on the campaign trail. One was about a candidate who showed anger on the campaign trail.Melissa:And then at random, the people who participated in this experiment, they only read about one candidate. They either read about a candidate named Karen, or they read about a candidate named Kevin. And that was the only difference in what these voters read about in terms of these candidate descriptions for Us Senate. And guess what? There were no significant differences in how the candidates were rated.Melissa:So she interpreted this as evidence that maybe we're not any more penalizing women for appearing too feminine, and read that as sort of weak, not strong enough, susceptible to crying, nor do they penalize women for being real strong as when they show anger on the campaign trail. So that's one of several studies in recent years that at least in politics, we are no longer penalizing women on the campaign trail when they rub up against that double bind. So I think there has been progress made.Lisa:And I will add to that because I remember watching the four-part biopic of Hillary Clinton. And one of the comments she made is, "I wish I would have been more aggressive, but I was told that I should not come across harsh." And so in that moment, I think she believed that she could have changed the potential outcome if she would have followed her instinct, versus the advisement that people give on what people are thinking, and what people are writing.Lisa:One of the things that we have to become more comfortable with as women and women of color is being our authentic selves, because when we're taking on characteristics that are being pushed on us, it's not going to ring true. And so we should have the same rights to be authentically ourselves, to speak about things that are of value, speak of experiences that we've had from our lenses, that will build more rapport with audiences that look like us or audiences that support difference.Lisa:And so I think it's really important for us to be more conscious of controlling the narrative, and not always responding to the questions that are being asked of us in a way that's a lose-lose situation, but redirecting the question to say, "I appreciate the question you asked, let me tell you this." And speaking the truth of what their capabilities, qualifications are, because you will be penalized if they think you're too feminine, you'll be penalized if they think you're too masculine.Lisa:So just be your authentic self, which says you're qualified to do the work and speak to that, instead of emotions that are continually tried to be placed on us, to have to respond to. So even though the individuals may ask an innocent question, it can be skewed. And so we have to make sure we're prepared for that.Kacee:Thank you. Dr. Coleman, I think your research is so fascinating. And I am wondering if you can share a little bit more about prior to the election, the only examples that Americans had of President or Vice President came from popular culture, as far as women go in that role. So programs like Veep, if any of you have seen that, and Commander-in-Chief.Kacee:So to what extent did movies and television shows help pave the way for Vice President Harris' election, versus hinder the progress that she has made?Kathleen:Well, the examples of female presidency that are in popular culture texts in the 20th century are overwhelmingly negative to varying degrees. There's not a lot of them up until about 2000, and most of my current research has focused on 20th century representations, and those have been incredibly problematic. Those that are actually shown as somewhat positive, have still an air of the ridiculous around them.Kathleen:They're in either cartoons or comedies, or pieces with a little bit of unreality about them. There's a science fiction movie, for example. So having certain genres be represented with a female President, lends it an air of implausibility, whether or not that female President is shown as competent or not.Kathleen:And then as we get into second wave feminism, the representations actually get more negative up until about the late 1990s. In the 1980s, we see several incredibly, I would say direct pieces of backlash against women's pursuit of higher political power. We see comedies that are farces. We see there's a novel where the female President is completely insane, and we see just generally a lot of this masculine angst, where the first gentleman is a little bit more centered than his wife, even though she's presumably the one in more power, and that he is just endlessly full of a lot of complicated feelings around his wife having more political power than he does.Kathleen:So I think that these representations, even if they were designed to put the idea in the minds of the public and the audiences of women could achieve the presidency legally, it's a possibility, that it ended up having the perhaps deleterious consequence that it makes the voters think negatively of the idea, even if that wasn't the creator's intent.Kathleen:Once we see getting into the 21st century, there're more representations, there're a ton of novels. And then as you mentioned, Veep and Commander-in-Chief maybe the most notable examples, but bear in mind, Commander-in-Chief, even though that was actually an overtly positive portrayal of a female President, it only lasted one season. And it was very much designed to be the female West Wing.Kathleen: And you can see a lot of commonalities between those two shows, and yet unlike the West Wing, even though they're arguably of similar quality, Commander-in-Chief did not last nearly as long, and the main difference being this one is showing a female President. The West Wing is showing a male President.Kathleen:Veep, as wonderful as that show is and relatively high quality, she's not a competent leader at all. And similarly, House of Cards, we've got a high quality program, but the female President is arguably duplicitous and has a lot of political machinations, and she's really out for herself. So they have been gaining in number, which I think does help normalize it as an idea. But in terms of whether the character is shown as a positive leader, we really haven't seen that too, too much.Kathleen:I will say, there are several novels from the early 2000s that do show competent female presidential leadership, but unlike television and film, novels don't necessarily hit the zeitgeist as much. You don't necessarily have the wide audience as you do for visual media.Kacee:Thank you. So we've been talking a lot about politics at the national level, but representation obviously is important at every level. And I think you all have talked about that throughout your questions here. Do you all have any thoughts about having a woman and a woman of color at the VP level, is going to affect us at a local level?Lisa:As I stated earlier, representation is everything. And when you see someone looks like you, it is encouragement to say, "I can accomplish this too. Let me look to see what it is that Vice President Harris has that allowed her to achieve this level of success, and how do I need to equip and prepare myself in order to be able to do that at a local level, because she had to start the same way any other politician traditionally starts?"Lisa:And so with that, it's important for us to make sure that we're developing those pipelines that Dr. Miller talked about, and making sure that we have mentors and sponsors that are able to help with that development. And some of the outcomes of the findings from the research that I did, and where I was interviewing highly successful women who are over major organizations, they had achieved levels of experience being an African-American woman, and a lot of it talked about making sure that you're gaining the experience that you need, that you're having networking as a part of who you are and what you do on a regular basis, and not just touch points, but meaningful networking to say, "How is it that I can be successful?"Lisa:Now, the benefit of having social media and technology the way we have it now, while you can have interpersonal relationships and having dynamic conversations, you also have the ability to research and watch footage of others that can help with your development. So if it's something that you're interested in doing, making sure that you're finding someone who can help sow into you information that can help with your growth and development. Lisa:And it doesn't just have to be from a woman. It can be from others who can assist in understanding the process, doesn't mean that you have to follow it exactly, but getting that historical understanding and seeing what you can build and how you can navigate through that process to make the change that you're wanting to make.Lisa:So I think part of it is making sure that you have this fortitude, this courage to strike out and do something that's different, understanding that you may not be a part of the majority number wise, but you can be a part of the change that does happen. And so, as long as we are willing to nurture one another, we all have different skillsets. We all have different types of research, but our backgrounds and what we have to contribute all are factors that can assist someone or many in being able to reach their personal goals. And so I think that's the value of having a variety of lenses at the table experiences knowledge basis because it all works together.Melissa:I will just say that I think it may be some time before we see the effect of having Vice President Harris in that very visible national role, as well as other women. And so to the extent that there are women at the national level in prominent positions, it has this effect of young girls, young women, and all women really, of beginning to visualize themselves.Melissa:So there may be a little bit of a delay, but I'm happy to report that women... I should say girls who are in their pre-teens, their teen years now, watching the inauguration today, watching the next four years, there's going to come a point when they don't remember that the US ever didn't have a Vice President who was a woman, right?Melissa:So sometimes it takes some time, but I think what we can all hope for is that more girls and young women and women in general, women from diverse backgrounds, women from different racial and ethnic backgrounds, different socioeconomic backgrounds, do enter public office because as we've alluded to throughout today's conversation, women bring a different voice to the table, and it's a voice that needs to be part of the conversation.Melissa:So there may be a little bit of a delay, but at the local level, I'm looking forward to seeing it become that women aren't the anomaly, that they have for so long been on the ballot.Kacee:Thank you. Are there any other final thoughts that you all would like to share?Melissa:I'll just share one quick one, which is, if listeners out there want to accelerate the advancement of women in politics, it's very easy for you to take action. Just ask a woman to run for office, whether that's local office, whether it's City Council, or school board, or mayor, or County Commissioner, women are much more likely to run for office if they're asked to do so.Melissa:Men are much more likely to just take it upon themselves to run and not wait to be asked. It's an important ingredient in getting women on that ballot, is that they get recruited by others. So that's something we can all do, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, or an independent. If we are ever going to get women in those pipeline positions that will lead to a woman elected President someday, we need women in these lower level offices with the years it takes to get to the US Senate or get into a Governor's mansion. So that one day we can have a woman President of the United States.Lisa:And I'll make a quick comment. Businesses are a microcosm of our government, and from my human resources lens, it's important for us to ensure that when we are in positions that allow us to have influence, to use that influence to make sure that we're not just talking about diversity, we're not just talking about belonging or inclusion, and we're not just placing something on our website because it looks fantastic, but mobilizing it to make sure that there are provisions that are made to make these things move forward, to bring equity into the workplace more fully.Lisa:So that means that we have to put the money and the resources to make that happen, and understanding that it's not just a function of one department and division, it has to be the responsibility of everyone that is employed within organization to say, "This is the part that I am accountable to do to make these changes, and the best way to do that is policy development." But beyond that is including it in essential functions where that any individual that is in leadership, that's responsible for hiring, whether it's internally or externally, they are measured about how they're moving forward the goals of the organization. If there's a measure in place, then action will happen. It's easy to take action, you have to just do it.Kathleen:I want to add too that taking action and encouraging real life political movement and women in business, that if you're an artist and you feel like art isn't activism, art absolutely is activism because as Dr. Dubose said multiple times, representation matters. So if we have better representations on women in political power, I think that it will continue to help normalize it to audiences.Kathleen:So if you're an author, content creator, or even just some kind of influencer, you want to amplify the voices of people doing this kind of work well, use your position, use your power, use your voice to do that.Kacee:Thank you. Those calls to action, I think are exactly what I was hoping to hear. It's a great way to wrap this program up. So I want to thank you all again. I know that everyone is incredibly busy and I feel like I got so much out of this conversation personally, so I know that everyone else will as well.Kacee: So again, thank all of you so much for being here. This is an exciting time. It's a challenging time, and I hope that everyone has a fantastic day. And thank you again. Jolie:Thank you for listening to this special episode of Big Ideas, and thank you to Kacee Ferrell Snyder, Melissa Miller, Kathleen Coleman, and Lisa Dubose for the thoughtful conversation. Special thanks to the Center for Women and Gender Equity, and the Division of Diversity and Belonging. Sound editing for this episode was provided by DeAnna MacKeigan and Marco Mendoza.

We're back from our brief hiatus! We're discussing the completely chaotic week that is Lorelai Gilmore's 35 - or 36th? - birthday. We're tackling gender stereotypes in real life and in pop culture and imagining what life would have been like for Jess and Rory had things gone according to our fantasies.

This week on Random Telly Vision, we’re watching The Sopranos!A relatively (and disappointingly) unknown tv show, The Sopranos follows the highest voice section of the human vocal range in an amateur choir. Stereotypically diva-esque as a group, they are often found carrying unnecessarily large bottles of water, with a flamboyant scarf flung around their neck. This series does not disappoint in that sense, and the sopranos as a group of characters are involved in multiple OTT dramas every episode. Included, but not limited to, a hair pulling argument over who gets to sing the solo in the Faure Requiem, a screaming argument over who stands on the front row of the choir, and a very complicated tryst between at least three sopranos and one particularly randy baritone. We are of course pulling your leg. This is the fictional tv series about New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano and his family We hope you enjoy our confused conversations about The Sopranos, series 5, episode 6.

Hamper Vomit, RomComs and so much more. In this episode, we dive deep into the age-old question: Why are men the way they are? Christian Jennings Interrogates,....errr, interviews (yea, that's better) co-hosts Roger Fish and Bill Harper on what the relationship books fail to discuss - all the stupid stuff in between.

In this week's episode, we discuss the meaning of next level asian competitiveness (or kiasu-ness), drawing on our personal experiences in Malaysia and London.

National Museum of African American History & Culture put out a graphic this week defining Aspects & Assumptions of Whiteness & White Culture in the United States. The Gentlemen Apes go through each criteria to see who is the most stereotypically white and wonder if being self reliant, objective, hark working, being punctual, and optimistic are elements of white supremacy, what is the museum saying about everyone else?Note: The graphic has since been removed from the Museum's site and physical location with an apology for posting but not for somehow thinking it wasn't completely ludicrous.

How is a female artist to be taken seriously in a male dominated field? Stereotypically, mainstream hip hop may paint women in a negative light, as well as some female artists taking advantage of their sex appeal to sell... This week, we cue up Queen Latifah’s Black Reign and listen as she puts all that fake news to rest and makes a solid case that she can handle her own with anyone you want to juxtapose with her. The queen effortlessly combines her rapping with a sprinkle of r and b to cover lot of topics that need to be heard by everyone, whether it be female empowerment and self worth, or telling mcs how to act proper when in her presence. Whether you do it before or after the pod, chances are you’ll be down with the coochie bang.

Stereotypically, comparing ourselves to others is a self-defeating mental exercise that we should avoid to the degree possible. And yet, a) we all do it to some extent and b) not all of this comparison is inherently negative (how, for example, can an aspiring artist or craftsperson assess their ability level without using others they admire as a point of reference). We dig into all of this and more, discussing how each of us seeks a healthy balance between rugged iconoclasm and acknowledging the potential good of looking at what those around us are doing.

Stereotypically we are told to follow a route that we know well, whatever that may be - follow logic, it's the right thing to do and the path you know well. Rebekah Hall went completely agains't this idea when she Founded Botanic Lab a beverage company that "do something" which also has the accolade of bringing the first Cannabis beverage drink to the market in Europe. She started the brand from scratch without any knowledge of consumer products or drugs for that matter but her passion, desire and willingness to never give up is the reason why her company is in the position it is today.

According to absolutely legitimate research I read about in the Daily Mail, 55 percent of couples say they argue about the temperature at which their home is maintained. While the whole house is clearly a battleground, certainly it's the bedroom that is ground zero for such squabbles. Stereotypically, women like things hot, men like them colder.

  I get asked a lot, "Steve, how do I choose what market to sell into?" Well, here's some of the basic criteria I put an audience through to see if I should sell to them... Hey. What's going on everyone? This is Steve Larsen, and you're listening to Sales Funnel Radio. I've spent the last four years learning from the most brilliant marketers today, and now I've left my 9 to 5 to take the plunge and build my million-dollar business. The real question is how will I do it without VC funding or debt, completely from scratch? This podcast is here to give you the answer. Join me and follow along as I learn, apply and share marketing strategies to grow my online business using only today's best internet sales funnels. My name is Steve Larsen, and welcome to Sales Funnel Radio. What's up guys? Hey. I'm super excited for this. I know I'm publishing a lot right now. It's because I have a lot of thoughts, especially after Funnel Hacking Live. That is like throwing gas on the fire for my brain, and I love it. Hey. I am very, very excited for what I want to share with you. I sat back a while ago, and I was sitting down. I was thinking through how many businesses I had tried before ever actually getting one that really started going off the ground. As I looked back and I started realizing it's like, I don't know, 14, 15, 16, 17. I mean, it's a lot. I was going through and I was numbering all the products I had created. I was like, wow, okay, I kind of first started with this one. Then I went to this one. I was like, wow, it's really fascinating. To look back. I encourage you all to do this. I seriously, seriously doubt, and almost bet on my life that I am not the only one who's tried a billion different products, lots of different businesses and failed at a ton of them, meaning of this audience who listens to this. I encourage you to go sit down and start writing those down. It's kind of a neat thing to look back and realize, like why did that fail? Why did that fail? Why did that fail? One of the lessons that I've learned was tossed back into my head. I've had a few people asking me a few questions lately, especially with the recent program, Two-Comma Club X Coaching, that I'm one of the coaches for and that ClickFunnel has just released. A lot of people have been coming to me saying, "Hey, Steven, is this a good idea? Is this a good market? Is this a good product?" Well, first off, I'm not going to know your industry like you are, okay, but I do know the models and patterns that show if it is something typically good to go into usually. Okay, okay. When it comes down to it, like we can teach the models, we can teach the patterns and then after awhile it's guessing. You know, you just have to launch it after awhile and just see if it actually sticks. There's a lot of patterns and stuff that we can walk through to help shave off bad ideas. Anyway, I was recently talking with someone and I had this memory come to my head. Back before I started using ClickFunnels and I was building funnels inside of GetResponse, literally, like the email provider, right, GetResponse autoresponder. They have a landing page software, and I was building essentially funnels on their landing page software. It was terrible. It was so jenky. Anyway, I would like sneeze and half of it would get scrambled. It was the weirdest thing. Anyway, but it's all I had, so I was trying to do that. It's very much part of my character that as soon as I start selling something or as soon as I've learned something and I know it can help other people, I want to go tell them about it. Say, did you know you can do this? Oh my gosh! Check it out? Right? Which is why I think I podcast the way I do. Anyway, one of the people that I wanted to go present this to was a door-to-door company, okay, a door-to-door selling company. I had already done one summer of door-to-door sales at that time, and Vivint, like Vivint Home Security. They had a huge office near the place where I was living at the time. This was six years ago. It was quite a while ago. Five years ago, six years ago, something like that. Anyway, so I walked on in to Vivint and I sat down with some of the owners. It wasn't the "owners" of Vivint, but it was before their massive buyout. They got bought for like $2.4 billion or something for only like 75% of their company. They still maintained 25%, which is crazy. Crazy! Oh my gosh! Can you imagine that? Anyways, it very well may have been some of the top guys because that buyout had not happened yet at the time. Anyway, so I was chatting with them and I was telling them, hey, did you know, you've got these sales agents that are out there doing this and that, right, these reps that are going around. Think about the cost of supporting a rep. Think about this. I could build you this thing that I'm doing called a funnel and we could like totally ... and I started giving them my ideas of basically and front-end funnel, super awesome. I ended up buying like doortodoorsellingsecrets.com or something like that and a whole bunch of other tons of URLs for that. I really like the door-to-door sales game. I think sales is one of the most prestigious, I don't know, careers ever. Call me bias, but I think it's true... Anyway, so I was sitting there and I was telling them about it, and I was like, hey! To be completely honest, I know it would work. I know it would work. Right? It fits all the models. It fits all the patterns. I was like, think about that. This is like having tons of sales agents in lots of cities that you don't have to pay to support. It's all on a website. They were like, "Whoa. That's crazy." It turned out that like they just didn't want it. They just did not want it. Okay. I was like, okay. I was a little bit frustrated. I spent like a couple hours in there teaching them, pitching them, helping them realize. They were like, "Wow, that's amazing. Okay. Let us work this up the chain a little bit and we'll get back to you on that." If you guys have ever done any sales that basically means no. I was like, crap. I walked out and I was like, why didn't they see it? How come they didn't get the value? Right? I guarantee every one of us has had that experience before in some fashion. Okay? You're looking at a customer. You're looking at somebody you know you could help. You can't help them for free because that negates progress rules and laws, okay, right, for the most part. You couldn't do it for free. Anyway, you could not, however, sell them on the fact that this was something that they need, right, that it would drastically improve their life or their business. That's a frustrating thing to sit back and go through. I've been through that tons of times, tons of times, and you guys probably have as well. I recently had someone reach out and ask the question, hey, I've been trying to sell in this area to these people and I just can't sell to them. I don't get it. Why isn't this happening? I had all those memories rush back into my head. You know, I've had the unique experience over the last year and a half-ish, over a year, to coach. I was putting the numbers together. It's almost 900 people that I've had the honor to coach in this process, 900. Okay. You know how many offers I've gotten a chance to see, how many funnels, how many industries? It's crazy. It's crazy. Okay. Before we ever launched Two-Comma Club X Coaching, I was the main coach. I was the only coach, okay, for well over 700 people, and then there's a ton of other people on my own as well. I was thinking through all the lessons and I was looking at the patterns and I was like, man, this is really fascinating. It is a unique perspective to be in. How can I share some of these lessons? Like I said, someone reached out and they asked, like, how come people aren't buying this? I immediately in my head was, this came to my mind, well, you did not choose a money market. That's exactly what popped in my head. You did not choose a money market. They don't want what you're trying to sell. You know they need it, but they don't want it. Right? What I wanted to do is I wanted to walk through real quick some of the criteria, the major foundational criteria that I go through before I ever start putting together an offer, before I ever start putting together a sales message. You guys know, like in the past little bit here I've gone over the core of what a funnel actually is, right, but before I even get to that stuff, man, you have got to turn around and you have got to figure out if the people you're selling to even want your stuff. Let's go through a few of these items. Sound good? Okay, that's what this episode specifically is about, is I want to help you understand, like I'm not telling you that you can't make money if you don't fit these criteria. I am telling you it is a lot easier and faster to choose a market industry, a money market. That's what I meant. Money market, not market industry. Choose a money market, okay. Oh my gosh, it helps so much. I was drawing out and I was doodling this stuff out and I was like, yeah, these are the lessons and you have to have this here and like this part over here. We're talking about speed because you can make money in a lot of different ways and places where people don't want your stuff. I want to tell you from my own perspective, from my own experience, selling my own stuff, helping other people sell a lot of their stuff, helping the people get in the Two-Comma Club. What I have seen these patterns be as to the speed aspect to this, when we talk about the only two numbers we care about in a funnel is average cart value and cost to acquire, but cost to acquire is not just about money. It's also about time. If your cost to acquire, time wise, is huge, I'm not saying that you can't make a whole bunch of money. I am saying that your cost to acquire is gigantic. It's huge. This episode specifically, I've spent quite a bit of time, more than I usually do, brainstorming out this topic and fleshing it out and trying to distill down for us all more of these elements that help drastically decrease your cost to acquire, time wise. Okay, speed, to get the speed up. Are you sufficiently pre framed? Okay, cool. Let's go on. Number one, when we talk about health, wealth and relationships, the reason why, again, that we go back to those health, wealth and relationships, those three markets, are there other markets I'm sure, but those are the three no-duh buying markets. Just like we've talked about before, a no-duh product, a no-duh, like an obvious thing you would go purchase. There's not a salesman next to a gas station. You're going to buy gas. Right? There's not a salesman next to eggs or bread or milk in the grocery store, right? There's not. It's a no-duh buying experience. People are just going to go buy it. They're going to. They expect to buy it. There's not a salesman for your utility bills. They expect to purchase there. Does that make sense? The reason why health, wealth and relationships are such powerful things is because they are areas where people expect to spend money. They expect it, right. I expect to spend money going to the gym for health. I expect to spend money. Everyone says, like, it takes money to make money, which is total crap, meaning it's an expectation, though, right? Relationships. People are willing. They expect to spend cash if they were ever going to go to a therapist or spend money going to a conference or even a date, right? It's going to take some money, typically, right? Those three areas, that's why. Like I've said in the past, while your product itself does not need to naturally fit inside those, your sales message must, okay, but it is way easier if you choose one of those three money markets. Health, wealth and relationships are three money markets. That's the first filter. Does my product fit in health, wealth and relationships? If it does not, can I make the offer. If it does not I at least, at bare minimum, have got to make this sales message fit in one of those three. That's the first criteria. Choose a freakin' money market. It's so much easier. All right. One of the next things. Was Vivint able to spend money to hire me to build a suite funnel for them? I was not nearly as experienced six years ago. I think that was six years ago. If not, it was at least five. Anyway, are they able? Oh, yeah. They've got cash. Oh, yeah. Are they willing? No, or they weren't at the time. Maybe someone hears this, they'll come back to me and hire me. I'd love that, by the way, if someone wants to reach out. That would be a lot of fun. I've got some sweet ideas for you guys. Anyway, there's a ton of people that are able to spend money. They're just not willing. You've got to find this magic combination of the two. If you find people who are able to spend money, meaning they have it, but they're not willing, it means you're selling a need, not a want. If you're selling a need and not a want you automatically are getting inside of an improvement-based offer. In your head you're at least categorized that way, okay, in their head, even if you really are in a new opportunity. Anyway, if I'm talking like straight techno babble here guys, go read Expert Secrets again, okay, and Innovator's Dilemma and Dot Com Secrets and Growth Hacking by Ryan Holiday. In fact, it's funny. As I started doodling all this stuff out and I was like, oh, yeah, Growth Hacker, and I went and picked it up and it literally says, Step Number One. I was like, oh, Ryan and I need to hang out. He says "Step number one, it begins with a product market fit," okay. Paul Graham says, "Make something people want." That was the first thing in the whole book and I was like, yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Stop selling freakin' needs and the way that you sell them is by selling the people that are both willing and able by choosing a money market and selling, which is the third thing here, to irrational buyers. They have to be irrational about it. They have to be like the psycho people, the people that go and they hang out in front of The Apple Store before the new iPhone comes out, when they very well could go purchase one the very next week without spending the night in a tent in front of the store, right? You've got to find the irrational purchasers, and if you are not selling to a category that is irrational about what they are doing, right, a cult, basically, if you're not selling to those, it's very hard. You start selling more into the need category. Needs, needs. Improvement-based offer. If I'm going to go sell a need, that's an improvement-based offer, and what's happening is by default you must start selling by competing on price. Since they don't necessarily want it, they at least don't want to feel like they're getting taken, so they start nickling and diming you down. I don't know if it's worth this much. Bleed for me more. Bleed. Right? No, no. Sacrifice for me more. You end up getting clients and you end up getting customers and you end up getting a following that is not ... They're there because they feel like, yeah, okay, yeah, because of all these logical reasons I do need it rather than, I've to have this! Oh, my gosh, get out of my way. You've got to find people. Anyway, so, number one, choose a money market. Number two, sell to people that are both willing and able and then, number three, sell to people who are irrational. They are ridiculous about the thing you're actually selling. What's cool about this is one of the other categories that I start looking at is, now that like, you guys know that I sell in the MLM space a lot, right. Right now, that's what I'm doing. I love it, and the reason I chose it is because, number one, it's in a money market, wealth. They believe they'll get wealth through the vehicle of MLM, right. Number two, they're willing. A lot of people are not able, though. Stereotypically, a lot of MLMers don't have a lot of money, stereotypically, right. A lot of them, it's the first thing they ever get into. Don't lie to me. You've probably been in a few MLMs yourself. We all have, right. The category of person that I'm selling to inside of that market definitely is willing and able. And then, number three, they are definitely irrational purchasers, okay. Those are some of the categories that I went to to choose that market specifically. Okay. The next thing I go through, and I do this all the time, I look through and you don't necessarily need this part, but it makes it way easier if you can get this part, I like to choose a market, a customer base, that expects to pay higher ticket, right, right. You could be in the business of selling, eggs, bread and milk. Is that high ticket? No. The volume is going to be insane that you have to sell in order to make a lot of cash, right? I like to sell in areas where it's expected to spend a lot of money, right. You don't go to a car shop, even a used car shop, without the expectation of spending at least several grand if it's a bad used car shop, right, but like if it's a nice or even like, let's say, house, right, it's expected that a lot of money flows in those areas. I like to choose where they expect, yes, you know what, I will be spending a whole bunch of cash in this. If you're like in eCommerce or you're in retail ... I was speaking once in Vegas. It was definitely over a year ago now, I think, and I was speaking at an event. I was speaking and Anton Crowley, if you guys know who he is, he's the man who runs a company called Drop Ship Lifestyle that he put together. He spoke right before I did, and what was cool is he got up and he said that he drop ships, but he only drop ships things that are like at least a grand for this exact principal, that because people expect to pay a lot of cash in it, there's a lot of margin in there left over after he pays business costs and product costs and things like that. It's the same kind of thing. Again, it's not that you have to. Okay. It's not that you have to. I'm talking about the core of your business. I don't expect to charge $5,000 for a free plus shipping book offer, right. It's free. You just pay $5,000 for shipping. Right? That's not what I'm talking about all. I'm talking about the core of the business, the middle of the area, the actual thing that keeps our doors open, that slightly more mid to higher ticket area, around $1,000, $500, $2,500, $3,000 around that area, selling stuff like that. If I know that it's already an expectation, oh my gosh, it's so much easier because I don't need to go break that belief. The reason it's this value is because X, Y and Z, right. Then I've got to go start selling logical and I've got to tell even more stories, break even more false beliefs. It's not that you can't. It's just, I'm talking about the low-cost proposition time wise, right. Time wise, it's going to be a lot faster for me to actually go sell when they already expect to pay higher dollar. Anyways, I think I talked about that one maybe too much... I like to ask the question, also, how easy does this sell, not how good is the product or how good is the offer? That's good. The offer's got to be amazing as I've talked about many times, but if I could ask the question, how easy is this for them to purchase. This fits back into the category. It's almost like the question you ask if you, the kind of checks, is it one of the three money markets, is it irrational buyers, are they willing and able? If it sells easily, right. Once you show the house, the actual sale part of it doesn't take, I mean, sometimes it can take a while to close, but you know what I mean. Like, emotionally on their side there's not tons of stuff that has to go. They expect to spend a lot of money. It sells slightly quickly. It's an expectation that it's a lot of cash they're going to have to put out. Does that make sense? Anyway. Here's one other thing I wanted to bring up with this is that I think I was at a FAT event. One of the things that I started noticing was some people would show up to the FAT event and they'd sit in the back and they were trying to figure out what they wanted to do still. I completely get that, and I'm actually going through that a little bit right now. I'm trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Okay. What's the contribution to the world that I'm going to try to make, not just the marketing world, but the world in general. Russell is starting to ask those questions. He's doing Operation Underground Railroad stuff. Does that make sense? Okay. He's in that phase. The first thing that he did, if you look at anybody who's really been quite successful, even 2017 Funnel Hacking Live, Jim Edwards talked about this. Okay. He talked about this. He said, "Look. The first funnel that you build is the funnel that gets you your bills paid." Right. It's just the one that matches the amount of money you were making at your job. It helps buy back some of your time. The second funnel that you're billing is really the one like, hey, man, you pay off all of your debts. You get the house that you really wanted to. You go get the toys that you want to. And then the third, I can't remember them. He had categories for them and names for them... The third funnel you really go build typically expect that one to be the one where like you don't need the money, but it's like the ludicrous money that frees you for the rest of your life where you go change the world and stuff like that. I think one of the things that people get stuck up on, and Simon Sinek talks about this a lot with Millennials. I'm namedropping like crazy in this episode. Simon Sinek, if you've never heard his stuff, go look him up on YouTube. He's awesome. He talks about this with millennials a lot that one of the things that they'll get stumbled up on is this idea that you must have impact immediately. Yes, it's great if you can, but it's not the thing to get stuck on. Rather than focusing on changing the world first, focus on changing your world first. Does that makes sense? I'm going and it was like a year and a half ago, two years ago, I launched this funnel and it totally changed my world meaning we were able to start chomping away student debt. We were able to ... I mean, it's more cash than we'd ever had. Does that make sense? It did a lot of stuff for our own finances to free us so that now I'm able to do more change-the-world style projects. I think sometimes people will step back and they'll go, and this is a pattern I see, you know, almost 900 people coming through coaching with me now, like the thing that I'll see them doing is they're like, I need to change the world! Ahhh! Then, they've got this complex over it, and yes, that's great, but don't do that first. You know what I mean? If you can, more power to you, but if you can't don't stumble on it. Don't make that as a reason to not get going, to get your butt off the ground and doing stuff. I feel like it's one of the areas that people will step back and be like, I'm not having an impact yet. I'm not changing the world. It's like, you're still working 9 to 5. Focus on getting your funnel out of the ground that actually gets you out of that first, right, that empowers you, that buys back your time so that you can later on, your second funnel, your third funnel, whatever, then you can go do the crazy massive personal freedom funnel, the massive change-the-world project. Anyway, maybe I should have put that in a different episode. That could be a whole episode of itself, but it's already been a long one. I can't believe it. Anyways, I just wanted to bring that up. When I'm choosing a, especially if this is your first one out of the gate and you like haven't totally like blown something up yet, that's fine to not have this massive impact thing. First, funnel hack. See what's out there, right. Follow that yellow brick road as far as you can. Number two, then you're going out and you're adding onto where the road stopped. Right? You're in a new opportunity... Then, when you're actually making the cash, then you're able to be more nimble anyways because you're not so concerned about getting a sale. I'm not going to eat if I don't make this sale. You're not in that area. You can actually step back and make decisions that will change the world rather than, I want to change the world, but, man, I've got to eat. Anyway, I feel like I blended two topics in this episode, but the way I choose a market, right, market, not product, not offer, not even sales message, is I need to find an audience first. This is how I choose an audience. Maybe I'll call this episode that. This is how I choose an audience. Number one, do they fit naturally inside one of the three money markets, health, wealth and relationships. Number two, are they both willing and able? Do they freakin' want it, or are you selling a need? If not, that's fine. Rinse and repeat. Don't be afraid. Money loves speed, right. Be fast. If you realize, oh my gosh. There's just no way I'm going to get enough volume to really make it. I'm selling something you'll need. I know it's a legitimate problem that I'm solving. Yes. Congrats. That's awesome. If they don't want it, you're already, that's rough. Anyway, number three, are they irrational about the way that they purchase? Are they fanatics? Usually, it has to do with having a lot of culture around the market that you're selling into. Do they expect more high-ticket stuff and is it easy to sell? When it comes to you personally, that's how to choose more and more of the audience, but then you personally, as far as expectations in it, make sure the person understands that you may not be in like the massive-level impact-the-world stuff. Maybe you're just changing and impacting your own life, finances and stuff like that in your own family. That's great. That's fine. I find a lot of people lately have like almost a complex about that. I'm not having an impact. It's like, wait a second. You just changed your world and your family's world. That's a huge impact. Are you kidding? Don't focus yet. Anyway. All right. Hey, guys, hopefully it's helpful. Those are some of the base criteria that I run things through and then I go out and I start choosing the sales message, then I go out and I start creating the offer and then building the funnel and then rinse and repeat and going back forth. Anyway, I hope that that helped. I hope that that clarified some stuff. My real hope is that when it comes down to your expectations on this is that you give yourself a license to just change your own world first before you try to change "the world." It'll do a lot for you emotionally as you do that. Anyway. Hey, guys. Thanks so much. Appreciate it. Hopefully you guys enjoy this episode. I would love it. I love going, I don't know, call it ego, call it motivation for me to keep doing this. I probably will anyway, but I love, love seeing the reviews.

Let's settle in for a quick and thoughtful discussion about diversity at conferences, diversity in Spider-Man: Homecoming, our dear friend, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos (#OhBetsy), and that Buzzfeed quiz about stereotypically white characteristics.

Since everyone has something to say about black women The Browngirl recruited three of her friends to set the record straight and shed some light on the complexities and burdens of being a black woman today.

Do you find it hard to sit still and relax? Do you feel lazy and guilty if you aren’t constantly working through a to-do list? Perhaps your issues are just the opposite. Maybe inaction is your problem. Do you love options but can’t decide? Do you find it hard to stand up for yourself? Do you constantly doubt your decisions? Stereotypically, the first camp is associated with masculinity, whereas the second camp is more often associated with femininity. The traditional views of what makes up the two are very black and white. Men are assumed to be masculine and women are assumed to be feminine, but are these stereotypes actually true?

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! A special gift:  For the first 40 people who contact me, I am offering a complimentary strategy session to help you learn effective strategies for how to improve your relationship! To book your session and discover the keys to keeping your relationship strong, just email me and let me know when is a good time for you and your significant other. LISTENER’S QUESTION: “I know that walking on eggshells is a bad thing.  Because whether or not you are doing it, the issue will come up eventually, and if put off it will only be more dramatic later.  I’ve always been such an assertive person, but lately, with my girlfriend, I’ve not been emotionally assertive.  That frustrates my girlfriend and it makes me shame myself.  So a couple of things, I know that I need to not shame myself, and I don’t want to be emotionally unassertive. Like I make too many assumptions about how she ‘might’ react to something.  Avoid Then I get caught in this terrible spiral.  I don’t want to burden her with my problems, so I’m walking on eggshells, and then when I finally do tell her, another issue has arisen because I have not been good about being clear with what I need and want. Like this has happened a few other times in the past when I am upset by something she’s done but have not addressed the issue right away, tried to take off some of the pressure and heat from the situation by sitting on the feeling for a few days. I don’t know why I do this and I don’t want to do it.  And then I realize that in my fear of bothering her and in my head thinking she won’t want to be with me, I exacerbate the situation even more and it feeds into itself . Which sucks. My main question for you is, do you have any tips for how I can let my gf know that I am assertive, emotionally and otherwise, and how I can stop myself from shaming myself for having needs? “ INITIAL THOUGHTS: Emphasizing Your Best Parts – In dating, it is common to want to show the best parts of yourself. However, if you are too preoccupied with saying and doing the right thing, you run the risk of hiding and concealing who you really are in relationship. If this continues, you don’t have the opportunity to build a solid foundation for an authentic relationship. Men Revealing Emotional Needs – When it comes to revealing emotions, men sometimes have a little more difficult time sharing their inner world. Stereotypically, men are taught to be strong and independent. Therefore, it can be a little uncomfortable and unfamiliar for men to discuss their emotional needs and desires proactively. Relationship Model – Thinking about who you want to be in relationship and what you want your relationship to be like can be a helpful. If you know you want to have open communication in your relationship, than you will be more motivated to broach a topic with your partner. Interdependence – Relationships involve some level of reciprocity. “The healthiest way we can interact with those close to us is by being truly interdependent. This is where two people, both strong individuals, are involved with each other, but without sacrificing themselves or compromising their values.” ~ Barton Goldsmith Ph.D. Feeling Worthy – Being in relationship involves receiving, as well as giving. Do you feel worthy of receiving your partners love? Being Seen – Having needs and preferences, allows your partner to know you and experience you. Also, expressing your desires with your partner gives you an opportunity to see how they will show up. Giving Yourself A Chance – Not sharing with your partner out of fear of rejection is like rejecting yourself before your partner has a chance to reject you. Believe me, I understand how scary and vulnerable it is to share what is honest and real, especially when you don’t know how it will be received. However, I imagine you ultimately want to be in a relationship where you are loved….not for being perfect, but for being you. TIPS: 1. Awareness: be clear about how you feel and what you want. 2. Acceptance: What if you accepted your experience as just a part of your process without blame or shame? What if you focused on being real and honest? What if it were all okay? Would you be able to have more compassion and acceptance with yourself? 3. Being Communicative: Proactively sharing with your partner (listen to episode to hear examples). Communicating with your partner creates a climate where it is safe to talk about uncomfortable and difficult topics. Together you will be building a foundation for a lasting relationship. 4. Act With Future Relationship In Mind: What kind of relationship are you wanting to build? Is the relationship reciprocal and interdependent? Is it honest and real? These types of qualities require an investment. If you focus on the long-term benefit 9of what your relationship will be like down the road), you will be more interested in putting forth the effort.

In this episode, we are exploring how to deal with feelings of anger in relationship. Anger is a healthy, normal, and natural emotion. Anger is a cue. It lets us know that something is hurting us or has crossed a line. The way we deal with anger makes it destructive or constructive. Anger is often a secondary emotion. Meaning, there is a primary emotion underneath the anger, like feeling hurt or scared. Anger usually shows up when we are feeling protective or defensive. Stereotypically, men are more comfortable with anger than women. Men tend to be able to access the fight or dominant mode more easily. Women tend to avoid getting angry, as to not hurt someone’s feelings. Women will tend to prioritize the relationship over expressing their anger. Louann Brizendine discussed the neurological science behind these findings in The Female Brain. Most of us do not know how to deal with anger effectively or constructively. With my clients, I sometimes ask them, “how was anger dealt with in your family growing up?” Most people say, “it wasn’t.” Or, some people will say, “not well.” Here are some common ineffective approaches: Avoiding anger leads to more tension and build up within the relationship. Blowing up when angry can feel scary and unsafe to our partners. Passive aggression is confusing and hurtful to our partners These methods result in little resolution and can negatively impact levels of trust and emotional safety within the relationship. Research shows that just venting and expressing anger is not that helpful, and that it can sometimes make us even more angry. Learning constructive ways to dealing with our anger is critical. It promotes individual health and well-being. It supports the success and intimacy within relationship. A couple will be able to experience  more resolution with their conflicts, and they will become stronger, closer, and more evolved as a couple (by dealing with anger constructively).

Jenny talks with her boyfriend Mickael about his experiences as a French person moving to the United States. They talk about the visa process, what Mickael likes and dislikes about American culture, what Mickael misses about France. Stereotypically, it's the French food he misses. They also talk a little bit about politics and how Americans are more conservative than French people - Americans have Republicans and Mild Republicans. 

Finding a movie everyone in the family enjoys watching can be a challenge. Stereotypically, men like to watch action flicks and women like to watch romantic comedies, and that’s largely true in our family as well. But there are two types of movies Brenda and I tend to agree on. For one thing, we tend to prefer true stories over pure fiction. And here’s a second category of movie that we tend to agree on – we both like a movie where the bad guy gets what’s coming to him. One such movie that comes to mind is the 2002 Jennifer Lopez flick called “Enough.” It’s a story about a man who is cruel and abusive to his wife. And it isn’t long before we in the audience are thinking, “OK, that’s enough. It’s time for justice; it’s time for some payback.” And given that “Enough” is the title of the movie, you can guess what happens – the bad guy gets what’s coming to him.
