When you gain agency over your time—whether stepping out of a traditional 9-to-5 job or shifting into self-employment—it can feel liberating… and overwhelming. Kerry Hoffman knows this tension well. As someone who helps individuals and teams make sense of what they're doing and when they're doing it, she offers a refreshingly practical approach to task management and planning that embraces both the structure and spontaneity life demands.In this episode of A Productive Conversation, Kerry and I dive into the habits and mindset shifts required to design a system that supports how you want to live—not just how you work. From flipping mattresses to prepping for quarterly reviews, it's about giving your tasks a home… and giving yourself a break.Six Discussion PointsWhy gaining control over your time can feel disorienting—and how to reclaim clarity through structureThe power of defining homes for different kinds of tasks (calendar, project manager, spreadsheet, etc.)The liberating magic of mundane reminders (yes, even "flip the mattress")How building a system frees up bandwidth and unlocks more unplanned timeHow reflecting after the experience makes the memory stronger (and more fun)Why teams need to define what ASAP really means—and who decides what's "possible"Three Connection PointsKerry's websiteKerry on LinkedInThe News and Your Attention: Engaging Without Being ConsumedKerry reminded me of something vital in this conversation: structure isn't about control—it's about creating space. Space for spontaneity, reflection, even a non-alcoholic beer at the end of the day (which we talk about, too). Her blend of grounded tools and generous mindset makes the work of planning feel like an act of care, not constraint.

This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Marie-Luise, a professional opera singer from Germany who made a bold move after doing 100 solo workouts that led nowhere.She had already been performing a major role- twice. The first time, she promised herself she'd get in better shape for the second round. So she trained consistently… but when she stepped into the costume again, it was still just as tight.That's when she reached out to me. We had spoken once in 2021 but never started. This time? She joined within three hours. And she's been going strong ever since.Marie-Louise doesn't attend live Zooms. She doesn't need reminders. She follows her custom BBM program solo and the transformation has been wild.In this episode, we talk about:Why she finally stopped trying to “figure it out” on her ownWhat changed when she started strength training with structureThe difference between being disciplined alone vs. being coachedHow her transformation is showing up not just in her body, but in her performance, her confidence, and her presence on stageWe also get into:Why her mom noticing the change might've been the biggest momentHow Marie-Louise went from avoiding free weights to owning her space in the gymWhat performers need to know about looking the part and feeling good in their bodyThis episode is for anyone who's been doing “everything right” but still not seeing results or who needs a reminder that the missing piece isn't effort, it's a plan made for you by a professional.Want to see what happens when you finally stop guessing and start training for real?Book a chat with me here:https://monikaamazur.as.me/CoffeeandGoals

In this episode:00:31 Chatbots makes racist judgements on the basis of dialectResearch has shown that large language models, including those that power chatbots such as ChatGPT, make racist judgements on the basis of users' dialect. If asked to describe a person, many AI systems responded with racist stereotypes when presented with text written in African American English — a dialect spoken by millions of people in the United States that is associated with the descendants of enslaved African Americans — compared with text written in Standardized American English. The findings show that such models harbour covert racism, even when they do not display overt racism, and that conventional fixes to try and address biases in these models had no effect on this issue.Research Article: Hoffman et al.News and Views: LLMs produce racist output when prompted in African American EnglishNature News: Chatbot AI makes racist judgements on the basis of dialect07:01 How ancient engineers built a megalithic structureThe 6,000-year-old Dolmen of Menga is a marvel of ancient engineering. New research reveals new insights into the structure and the technical abilities of the Neolithic builders who constructed it. The work shows that a setup of counterweights and ramps may have been used to correctly position the massive sandstone blocks that make up walls of the structure, which were each tilted at precise, millimetre-scale angles. The researchers suggest that this construction shows that the Neolithic people who built the dolmen had a working understanding of physics, geometry, geology and architectural principles.Nature News: Stone Age builders had engineering savvy, finds study of 6000-year-old monument12:28 Spider makes fireflies flash as baitOrb-weaving spiders (Araneus ventricosus) use ensnared male Absocondita terminalis fireflies to trick more insects into their web. A bite from the spider causes the flashing pattern of the trapped firefly to shift to one resembling a female looking to mate, leading others into an ambush. Exactly how this system works is unclear, but researchers say it is a rare example of a predator altering the behaviour of its prey to catch others.Science: Spiders force male fireflies to flash like females—luring more males to their death16:35 The physics of paper cutsBy combining experiments and theoretical work, a team has unraveled the mystery of why only certain types of paper can cut into human skin. Their work shows that paper that is too thin will buckle without cutting, while paper that's too thick will distribute force over a relatively large area without inflicting damage. The research suggests that the sweet spot for slicing is paper with around 65 micrometres in thickness, which includes the kind used to print certain high-profile journals…Research Highlight: What Science and Nature are good for: causing paper cuts Hosted on Acast.

Today we're talking about the secret to losing weight correctly. Or the reasons why people tend to fail on what they think of as a ketogenic diet.The popular (mis)perception of ketoWe hear a lot about keto currently, and the popular perception is that there are many experts out there who can tell us what to do. The truth, however, is that there is no accountability to the definition of what keto is. About 90% of all the information comes from marketers who have never done keto before, and what they think they know about it is probably wrong.  The definition of ketoKetosis gets gauged by measuring your ketones with a keto meter. So the definition of what keto is can only be determined by whether or not you are in ketosis while you are on it.The start of the ketogenic dietThe ketogenic diet started in 1925. The term ketogenic diet was coined in around 1921 by William Wilder in response to the previous decades of fasting for diabetes and other conditions. The term ‘ketogenic diet'The ketogenic diet was used strictly for epilepsy, mostly for pediatric epilepsy. The term ‘ketogenic diet' came about because it is a diet that causes people to produce ketones that occur when people are fasting.A new applicationIn the past, the ketogenic diet was only about epilepsy, so the application of keto to diabetes or weight loss is very new. Certain things need to be put in place for you to achieve success with it, and for your body to make the necessary changes.No studies Using keto for weight loss is very new, and there are no studies to prove that keto is effective for weight loss.The common-sense approachThe common-sense approach to keto and weight loss lies in gaining a deeper understanding of how various foods affect the body.Losing weightTo effectively lose weight, you have to move away from carbs.

Weighing about 3 pounds in the average adult, the brain is about 60% fat. The remaining 40% is a combination of water, protein, carbohydrates and salts. The brain itself is a not a muscle. It contains blood vessels and nerves, including neurons and glial cells. – John's Hopkins MedicineSo if 60% of your brain is fat, are you feeding it the right fats to promote structural health and optimal function? Most people don't realize that the structure and the function of the brain are intimately interconnected.Delia McCabeDr. Delia McCabe has dedicated her career to understanding how to nourish high functioning brains. We discuss, not only the necessary dietary foods, but also exercises and lifestyles that promote optimal function. This episode was one of the most informational episodes you'll hear and is chock full of strategies and actionable habits to stay at the top of your game.What you will learn from this episodeWhat the brain is made of and how to build a stronger structureThe importance of fat for brain healthHow you should consider macro nutrientsThe importance of the brain/gut connection and how to eat for healthThe 5 best foods to feed your brainHow and why you need to “work out” your brainThe impact of stress on brain healthHow sleep, sex and sweat improve brain functionAbout DeliaDelia shifted her focus from conventional talking therapy, after completing her Masters in Psychology. She had discovered that what we eat impacts brain function directly, and came to understand that until the brain is properly nourished no amount of talking can support optimal cognitive functioning.Delia has since immersed herself in the fascinating world of nutritional neuroscience and offers a focused, insightful, evidence-based approach into how specific foods can improve our mood, concentration, memory and learning ability and help us manage stress and remain calm and happy in our busy, stressful world, regardless of our age! Delia received her PhD from Adelaide Medical School and her present research focus is on the neurobiology of stress and nutrition.Delia's knowledge about the brains requirements foroptimal well being, her enthusiasm for sharing complex science in an easy-to-understand format, and her ability to share practical and actionable steps with her audience, make her a speaker that keeps her audience engaged and enthralled from start to finish.People who attend Delia's events and workshops describe them as ‘extremely engaging, enlightening, fascinating, and motivational!'Delia's first book, ‘Feed Your Brain – 7 Steps to a Lighter, Brighter You!' explains the science behind nutrition and brain health and was released mid-2016.Delia's second book, ‘Feed Your Brain – The Cookbook' was released in November 2017, and takes the science into your kitchen to enable the creation of delicious, brain-supportive meals.ResourcesDelia's WebsiteOmega 3 Supplement Recommendation Book Recommendations“7 Steps to a Lighter Brighter You” by Delia McCabe“7 Steps to a Lighter Brighter You – The Cookbook” by Delia McCabe“Spark” by John Ratey“The End of Alzheimer's” by Dale Bredesen

https://www.linkedin.com/in/karlsjogren/ (Karl Sjogren)’s 2019 bookhttps://www.amazon.com/Fairshare-Model-Performance-Based-Venture-Stage-Offerings-Reimagining/dp/1950732002 ( The Fairshare Model: A Performance-Based Capital Structure for Venture-Stage Initial Public Offerings) presents an idea for how to raise venture capital via an IPO. The concept can be applied to a blockchain venture that raises equity capital via an initial coin offering (ICO). Its name describes its purpose--to balance and align the interests of investors and employees. A Detroit-area native, Karl Sjogren has a BA and MBA from Michigan State University, is a certified public accountant (inactive), and credentialed in turnaround management.   “Valuation equals analytics, plus emotion, plus deal terms.” Karl Sjogren   In today’s episode, we will do things a little different from the usual. We will look at what motivated Karl to write his book, do a quick summary of Karl’s Fairshare Model, and then an overview of some of the lessons he learned during the process. Karl’s story behind his book The Fairshare ModelKarl was co-founder and CEO of a company called Fairshare between 1996 to 2001. The company had an online community of investors with interest in the IPOs of young companies. The idea was to build an audience by giving them education about the deal structure and valuation and share due diligence. Once the company got to critical mass, the plan was to provide members free access to pick their public offerings. The members were expected to have a legal offering, a passed due diligence, use Fairshare’s deal structure, the Fairshare Model, and allow members to invest as little as $100. Basically, it was crowdfunding before the term was coined. From this experience, Karl got the motivation to write more about the Fairshare model and its impact on raising venture capital via Initial Public Offerings. Summary of the Fairshare ModelWhile writing his book, Karl learned that there are three capital structures: conventional capital structure, a modified conventional capital structure, and the Fairshare Model. The Fairshare Model is for a venture stage company that wants to raise capital via a public offering. In it, there are two classes of stock. Both have voting rights; one trades, and one does not. Investors get the tradable stock. Employees get the tradable stock as well for value generated as of the IPO date. But for future performance for most of the enterprise, the employees get a voting stock that does not trade. It converts into a tradable stock based on performance criteria described in their prospectus. So the basic idea is, instead of developing a valuation upfront before the investors come in, the valuation unfolds based on performance. The conventional capital structureThe conventional capital structure is used in most IPOs and in private offerings where you do not have professional investors, friends, and family types of investors. The hallmark is there is a single class of stock. So an investor who owns, say 10% of the company, if it is going to be acquired, they get 10% of the proceeds. The modified conventional capital structureA modified conventional capital structure is used by professional investors, venture capital funds, and private equity funds. The hallmark is that multiple classes of stock and capital structures are needed if you are going to treat shareholders differently. Lessons learnedNobody can do valuation righthttps://academy.astotz.com/courses/valuation-master-class-m1?coupon=my-best-investment-ever (Valuation is a complex topic), and no one knows how to do it right. The real complexity is not so much how you calculate these things but how they all sort of fit into an economy.

Interested in setting up an online business? Great! Setting up a business online is easier than it's ever been, however there is no clear rule book on how to do it since there are so many variables while creating it. To make matters worse, there are not many (if any) warnings that tell you you've done something wrong until you start to get fined. In this episode, we'll discuss how we setup each of our businesses and what we learned along our bumpy path. You'll hear our stories about the following (not legal advice):The difference between Sole Proprietorships, LLCs, S Corporations, C Corporations, & B Corporations and what each means to youThe separation and flow of money from your business to your personal bank accounts in each structureThe difference that your person and your business have in the eyes of the law in each structureWe'll also share the incredible resource that is https://www.llcuniversity.com/ with you. Our goal in this episode is to bring the complicated business knowledge that lives online into a personal story so that it's more relatable. After this episode you should be able to read about setting up your style of business, in your state, and have a more clear understanding about what the legal terms are referring to.

May Goals: - Each week review monthly goals. - Shop complete - run 5km each sundayLast week's goals: - complete shop - run 5kmExit Plan season 2 is done, writing book 2. I have videos about world building But plotting. Blake Snyder Beat sheet.BS story beats Opening Image – A visual that represents the struggle & tone of the story. A snapshot of the main character’s problem, before the adventure begins.Set-up – Expand on the “before” snapshot. Present the main character’s world as it is, and what is missing in their life.Theme Stated (happens during the Set-up) – What your story is about; the message, the truth. Usually, it is spoken to the main character or in their presence, but they don’t understand the truth…not until they have some personal experience and context to support it.Catalyst – The moment where life as it is changes. It is the telegram, the act of catching your loved-one cheating, allowing a monster onboard the ship, meeting the true love of your life, etc. The “before” world is no more, change is underway.Debate – But change is scary and for a moment, or a brief number of moments, the main character doubts the journey they must take. Can I face this challenge? Do I have what it takes? Should I go at all? It is the last chance for the hero to chicken out.Break Into Two (Choosing Act Two) – The main character makes a choice and the journey begins. We leave the “Thesis” world and enter the upside-down, opposite world of Act Two.B Story – This is when there’s a discussion about the Theme – the nugget of truth. Usually, this discussion is between the main character and the love interest. So, the B Story is usually called the “love story”.The Promise of the Premise – This is when Craig Thompson’s relationship with Raina blooms, when Indiana Jones tries to beat the Nazis to the Lost Ark, when the detective finds the most clues and dodges the most bullets. This is when the main character explores the new world and the audience is entertained by the premise they have been promised.Midpoint – Dependent upon the story, this moment is when everything is “great” or everything is “awful”. The main character either gets everything they think they want (“great”) or doesn’t get what they think they want at all (“awful”). But not everything we think we want is what we actually need in the end.Bad Guys Close In – Doubt, jealousy, fear, foes both physical and emotional regroup to defeat the main character’s goal, and the main character’s “great”/“awful” situation disintegrates.All is Lost – The opposite moment from the Midpoint: “awful”/“great”. The moment that the main character realizes they’ve lost everything they gained, or everything they now have has no meaning. The initial goal now looks even more impossible than before. And here, something or someone dies. It can be physical or emotional, but the death of something old makes way for something new to be born.Dark Night of the Soul – The main character hits bottom, and wallows in hopelessness. The Why hast thou forsaken me, Lord? moment. Mourning the loss of what has “died” – the dream, the goal, the mentor character, the love of your life, etc. But, you must fall completely before you can pick yourself back up and try again.Break Into Three (Choosing Act Three) – Thanks to a fresh idea, new inspiration, or last-minute Thematic advice from the B Story (usually the love interest), the main character chooses to try again.Finale – This time around, the main character incorporates the Theme – the nugget of truth that now makes sense to them – into their fight for the goal because they have experience from the A Story and context from the B Story. Act Three is about Synthesis!Final Image – opposite of Opening Image, proving, visually, that a change has occurred within the character.=== Three act structureThe first act is usually used for exposition, to establish the main characters, their relationships and the world they live in. Later in the first act, a dynamic, on-screen incident occurs, known as the inciting incident, or catalyst, that confronts the main character (the protagonist), and whose attempts to deal with this incident lead to a second and more dramatic situation, known as the first plot point, which (a) signals the end of the first act, (b) ensures life will never be the same again for the protagonist and (c) raises a dramatic question that will be answered in the climax of the film. The dramatic question should be framed in terms of the protagonist's call to action, (Will X recover the diamond? Will Y get the girl? Will Z capture the killer?).[1]The second act, also referred to as "rising action", typically depicts the protagonist's attempt to resolve the problem initiated by the first turning point, only to find themselves in ever worsening situations. Part of the reason protagonists seem unable to resolve their problems is because they do not yet have the skills to deal with the forces of antagonism that confront them. They must not only learn new skills but arrive at a higher sense of awareness of who they are and what they are capable of, in order to deal with their predicament, which in turn changes who they are.

If you do, listen up, I've got some great information for you.Hello Forex Traders, this is Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of "The Forex Trading Coach." Today is Friday, 10th of June. I want to talk about the importance of having a structure within your trading day.Do you randomly place trades?Are you one of those people who just haphazardly just places trades randomly, places, buys and sells and different position sizes, different time frames, looking through forums, getting ideas, trying that, it doesn't work, move on, all those sort of things, are you one of those people?Create a structure if you wish to be successfulIf you are, it's really important that you change away from that kind of mentality if you want to continue trading properly as a longer term investment. You see, the problem is with that is that when you have no structure you have no plan. When it comes to trading Forex with real money it is emotional, there's no question about it. Because you're trading with money, you see your account moving up and down, and you see positive trades, you get the enjoyment and the emotion and the greed comes into play. You see losing trades, you then get doubt, you're losing money. All those problems, both good and bad problems, come into your trading because you are trading with real money. It's important to have a structure in your trading day.My personal structureThe way that I like to work with my personal structure is at the beginning of the week I start by looking at the weekly charts. Now, you can do this on a Monday depending on where you live in the world, maybe Sunday evening. You can look on the weekend because the weekly charts don't change. From when they close on a Friday they do not change over the course of the weekend so you can look at any time, it doesn't really matter.Start with the weekly chartsWhen the market opens at 5 pm New York time on a Sunday, which for me is Monday morning, I look at the weekly charts.What that does it that gives me an overall opinion of where the market is likely to move for this coming week. It's a likely direction. It's not to say it is but it gives me an overall buzz. Which currencies are looking strong, which are looking weak? Which currency pairs have got room to move this week? Which ones are looking strong, which are looking weak, et cetera? It gives me an overall general opinion.Then move onto the daily chartsThen when it comes to each day I then go to the daily charts, during the similar type of thing but for the daily charts. That gives me an overall opinion, an overall bias for the upcoming 24 hours.Now, of course if the daily structure and the daily direction looks the same as the weekly, then even better. I'll give you a great example.Looking for bullish NZD$ trades this week – the charts tell me everything I need to knowThis week on Monday, the beginning of the week, I mentioned on my membership site for my clients that I was strongly looking for a bullish movements throughout in the New Zealand dollar pairs. It was strong against the New Zealand dollar, it was strong against the US,

When it comes to creating an online course it's often difficult to find a starting point. We have all this great knowledge and expertise sitting up in our heads and now we must translate that into something that resembles a course.That thought in itself is enough to put most people off the idea of online course creation. But if you follow these simple tips you'll be throwing your hat into the elearning arena in no time.StructureThe first thing to look at is how you are going to present the information. Some of the best and most enjoyable courses I've undertaken have followed a very simple formula. Base your course and each lesson within it around this basic layout -Opening - tell them what you're going to tell themMiddle - present 3 or 4 main points or takeawaysEnd - tell them what you told themIf you're planning on shooting a video and having trouble remembering what you want to say then follow this great tip from Alexa Fischer -Put each point into a thought bubble then just go from thought bubble to thought bubble. Know what you want to say about each point and practice it.We're not saying you should script your material, this can make you sound disconnected. Prepare your main points and practice fleshing them out as you go.Keep the Language SimpleAnother important point to consider is that all your students may not be native speakers of your language.For example, I'm a native English speaker so all my courses are presented in English. However, I must always consider that people from all over the world are taking my courses, and not all of them speak English.Don't complicate things by using big, confusing words. In fact a teacher who can take a complex subject and present it in an easy to understand way is a master of the craft.In order to connect and relate with the broadest audience possible keep your wording to simple and easy to understand words and phrases.Avoid Using Jargon and SlangThis is another trap that should be avoided at all costs.Using jargon and slang expressions can leave your students totally confused. Local sayings can take on totally different meanings, regardless of the student's comprehension levels.I've had the opportunity to travel the world and see the puzzled looks on people's faces when I use an Australian slang expression. Just because you understand an expression don't automatically assume that everyone else does.Relate to Your Students on a Personal LevelFacts tell and stories sell. Stories are also a great way to paint a picture and illustrate a point in a real life situation.Your students may not appreciate the importance of a key point or may not believe something relates to them until it is re-framed in a story.It's true that people don't usually like to admit to having a problem but can relate when you tell a story about when you were in a situation that represents that problem.Sound Like You're Passionate About Your ContentThe fastest way to lose your audience is to drone on in a monotone, displaying no interest in the material you're presenting.If you want your students to be engaged you need to be engaging. Here are a couple of tips -Smile when you talk, even if you're recording a voice over for the slide presentation. When you smile your whole tone changes and people can pick up on it even if they can't see you.Keep your energy levels up. Ever record something only to feel that it sounds a bit 'flat' once you play it back?Regardless of whether you're appearing on video or recording your voice you have to exaggerate your energy levels. It may feel uncomfortable and you may feel your energy and enthusiasm is over the top. Fear not, a lot of energy is lost to the recording so you end up looking and sounding full of enthusiasm in the finished product.Resources and sites mentioned in this episodePick up your copy of the Periscope for Online Instructors & Coaches course here.Enter here for your chance to win a copy of Seth Godin's book “Marketer's Tell Stories”Alexa Fischer Interview - The Art of Effective CommunicationIf you have a question about any aspect of online course delivery, from concept to market, please feel free to send me an email at AskTim@EcourseDomination.com.
