Podcasts about then friday

It’s been a troubling past week at Albert Davis Park in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood. Two people were shot at a homeless encampment on Thursday. Then Friday, a series of propane explosions led to a fire at the park, burning up a tree and several tents.The city of Seattle stated the fire department has responded to the park six times over the course of a single week.“I woke up to my husband yelling, ‘They set the park on fire!’ And I’m like, ‘What?’” said Shannon Ellis-Brock, who lives across the street. “It was huge.”Join your host Sean Reynolds, owner of Summit Properties NW and Reynolds & Kline Appraisal as he takes a look at this developing topic.Support the show (https://buymeacoff.ee/seattlepodcast)

Hello everybody! If you missed our last post, we are now splitting our episodes into two per week. Wednesday mornings we will post our TV portion of the episode. Then Friday mornings we will post the movie that we are covering that week, along with our selected songs for the week. This week we dive into one of the very best movies ever made, 1985's Back To The Future. We have a lot of positive things to say about this movie. Thank you for tuning in, enjoy the episode! 

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Friday, Jan. 29. Friday's weather will be sort of a prelude of the snow that could come this weekend. According to the National Weather Service, it will be warmer, with a high near 30 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area with mostly cloudy skies. Then Friday night the wind will pick up from 5 to 15 mph, gusting as high as 20 mph. This will be a sign that, you guessed it, a new weather system is prepared to roll through. Also rolling through this winter? Pretty much anything Iowa Republicans want. In addition to electing a U.S. senator and governor in November 2022, Iowa voters will be asked to amend the state constitution to give gun rights more protection from legal challenges. The Iowa House and Iowa Senate approved https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=89&ba=SJR7 (Senate Joint Resolution 7,) a proposal to add language to the Iowa Constitution to say: “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The sovereign state of Iowa affirms and recognizes this right to be a fundamental individual right. Any and all restrictions of this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.” Iowa Republicans argue that this language is necessary because Iowa is one of only 6 states in the nation that do not have the 2nd amendment codified in their constitution. The final portion about strict scrutiny is an important little nugget they have added in to make lawsuits against pro gun laws even more difficult to pass. Iowa Democrats offered amendment language that would codify the 2nd Amendment into the constitution without the strict scrutiny language, but Republicans offered the counter proposal of the bill they wanted being pushed through unchanged. The bill passed with clean Republican majorities. Legislation requiring K-12 school districts to offer all students a 100 percent in-person learning option gained final approval Thursday from Republican majorities in the Iowa Capitol, sending the measure to Republican Governor Kim Reynolds, who said she was eager to sign it into law. Republicans support the proposal, saying students and families should have the option of being in the classroom full-time during the COVID-19 pandemic, even in districts where local school and public health officials have not deemed that to be safe. Democrats opposed the measure, saying local leaders — not state lawmakers — know best how to operate their schools with education and safety of students and staff in mind. The argument over who should be able to determine instruction and masking options in Iowa's cities and schools has continued unabated since the beginning of the pandemic a year ago. On one side, the governor and other Republicans have argued for the state keeping as much of public life open as possible, fighting against cities instituting mask mandates and fighting for schools to offer in-person instruction. On the other side, Democrats have argued for the importance of local schools and municipalities making these decisions, as well as urging more safety measures in the state and capitol. These efforts, as with so many things attempted by Iowa Democrats in the last year, ended in defeat. This briefing is sponsored in part by Corridor Careers.

Sneaky great sports weekend we're coming off, and lots to talk about today, with NBA previews and Week 14 of the NFL season in the books, but first, a tribute to some great scheduling. Granted, the NFL action was hit or miss in Week 14, but my standards for football are pretty low; give me any two teams in an NFL game that means something and I'm in, so Thursday night's Ram victory was good enough for me. Then Friday we got our first glimpses of NBA preseason, enough to tide me over til Saturday night and what I was really waiting for; the Warriors first preseason game. Now, I'd be watching under any circumstances, sure, but my anticipation was through the roof for this meaningless exhibition, and the payoff was extremely satisfying. It might not seem like much, but after all the Warriors have been through the past few years, seeing Wardell Stephen Curry take the court was a special kind of thrill. I was still buzzing as I coasted through the Sunday slate of NFL games, some good action here and there, but preseason hoops again preempted everything, as we got to see KD return to action for the Nets in another feel good moment. Wrap it up with the Bills flexing on the Steelers and a great Browns/Ravens tilt that went down to the wire, interspersed with the return of Zion on Monday, and it was sports fan nirvana! But the best part? This is what the sports calendar will look like for the next 2 months, hoops and football all week, every week, and while these NBA preseason games mean nothing in the standings, there was something magical about seeing some of those guys out there on the floor again and seeing the new teams together for the first time. The NBA is back baby! So sit back, it's NBA preview time, the NFL is hurtling down the stretch drive and we're breaking down how it's all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast, so let's get rolling . . .

I want to teach you how to understand and evaluate how you are making your decision to drink or not drink. For some of you, you have an idea that a 30, 60, or a 90-day break will help you reset your drinking habits. Dry January is very popular because of all the over-indulging y’all do during the holidays. You feel sick and bloated and you want to make some changes when the holidays are over. You might feel frustrated, gross, disappointed, shameful for how much you drank. Then you decide to take a 30-day break. Then you start out strong, you might get a week in, and then you start feeling good, lighter, less puffy, you might even be sleeping better. Then Friday night rolls around and you think one drink won’t hurt, ‘I’ve been so good.’ And then before you know it you are back to your old ways. So, in this episode, I’m going to help you see how you are making these decisions and then help you make a decision that feels good and one that will last longer so you can get off the on again off again cycle.

Whoever said “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” was really smart, because it works in business the same way it does with our bodies. To find out what is the equivalent to an apple in marketing - listen to this episode... Podcast Transcript Whoever said “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” was really smart, because it works in business the same way it does with our bodies. By now you should know I am OBSESSED with marketing. I love to learn every new trick, hack, and strategy out there. I produce this podcast because I love finding, trying and the implementing and teaching new things all the time. And of course, my greatest passion is sharing it with all of you! Now look, as fun as many of these various tactics are, most of you should still stick to basics, especially when you're just starting out or as we are all faced with in the current environment of picking up the pieces in some cases or for others focussing on getting new business. I see so many people stuck and actually not doing anything thinking they need to create all-encompassing and complicated sales processes—way more complicated than I would create—and then they get mad and discouraged and hyper focused on all these little details. Well with any complicated sales system, there can be so many variables to check, and it is just so confusing and unnecessary. I know, I know—you are asking, “So what is the APPLE in marketing?” I will tell you. it is presentations and by that, I mean presenting to prospects. Call it a masterclass, a webinar, a zoom pitch, training, a critique, livestream, or all of these in person —I really don't care. It is YOU in person or as we have all learnt in recent times - on camera or even just a mobile, speaking to your audience, once a week as a bare minimum. (For the record, my definition for presenting is a talk that reaches 2 or more people – the audience). Every business owner getting started should commit to one presentation a week, minimum. Something amazing will happen when you do this. (Well actually, lots of things.) You will get really good at selling. You will dedicate time every week to SELL. You will be spending a good portion of your week, every week, finding an audience. It will teach you how to JV, how to prospect, how to add value and how to put yourself out there. Better still you will tweak and perfect your presentation because each new audience will show you something different. If your designated day is Thursday… then - Each Sunday, start pushing hard for registrations or opportunities. Do that until Thursday. Then on Thursday, you sell. That is it. If you have a team in your business, then everyone is focused on the presentation and what happens right afterward. Then Friday through Sunday, everyone is checking out the replay and following up. You are sending out emails, pushing the special offer. And on Sunday, the offer ends, and you reset the process and start again. Back to basics. A presentation a week. It should be on everyone's calendar right now. No excuses.

This is a special day - my daughter's birthday!! The chart for today is almost a mirror of yesterday, so let's focus today on Mercury in Pisces - slowing down and getting ready to go retrograde Sunday evening. There are a few points to take not of and if you want to get communications-related things off your plate before the retrograde begins, there are only a couple days to do so. Feb 13 Transcription [00:00:00] Welcome in to the February 13th fun astrology podcast. This is the first one of these that I've done on this date because the podcast started in March of last year, I believe, and this is a special day. It's my daughter's birthday, so yay. She's doing great. She is knocking the cover off the ball.[00:00:25] She is in her mid twenties and just doing amazingly well. But this is why I say is that I understand the Aquarian perspective. My daughter is an Aquarian. My mom, whose birthday was just recently, she is now in spirit, but she was an Aquarian and her sister was born six years later on the same day. Also, Aquarian.[00:00:46] So it's funny, with all of that Aquarian energy and you know, it's, if, if you don't get complete with something in your life, the universe always gives you plenty of opportunities to do so. So there's this thing in astrology called , it's an astrological word, and it's where you trace the ruler of a sign back to basically its ruling position, or as close as you can get.[00:01:13] What does that mean? Well, it's kinda like this and it gets confusing, but right now the sun is in Aquarius. All right? The ancient ruler of Aquarius is in his, his Saturn, and Saturn is in Capricorn. So Saturn is home. So we would say that. Capricorn is the dispositor of the sun in Aquarius. Does that make sense?[00:01:36] If it doesn't, there's plenty of information. If you Google disposit or dis positories, then you can read up on it. But I was doing this for my Gianna's chart and do you know that every one of her planets dispositive back to Aquarius? So what that tells you is that there is [00:02:00] an Aquarian overtone to the person's life.[00:02:03] So with all that Aquarian energy, if there was something I didn't get complete with it, I sure have the opportunity now because Magena when we kind of laugh about it now, it's like, Oh, you're going to your Aquarian side. But that's an interesting study to do in your own chart is to, see what kind of other.[00:02:21] Overlay energies you might have going on. It's an interesting study. All right. I'll tell you what, this is going to be quick because most of today's chart looks exactly like yesterday, so I don't want to repeat the same thing. And don't please give me a one star review on iTunes. I'm not going to repeat the same podcasts and you guys are so amazing.[00:02:45] Thank you again for just taking care of that little issue. We are right back where we were and I really appreciate all of you who chimed in. And if you, like the show, leave us a five star review on iTunes. We're trying to climb the ladder under the astrology search over there. And you know, if you don't like what we're doing, just a.[00:03:03] Please drop me an email to info at funastrology.com and let's talk about it. Because as I mentioned with that other situation, there might be a really probably pretty good reason underlying it that you might not understand why I'm doing something. And if you have a great suggestion how we can improve around here, I'm all ears.[00:03:22] Would love to hear it. And I would just request to use the energetic high road, you know, that positive side of the chart. And let's talk first. So yesterday's podcast really stands for today. I think we covered it pretty comprehensively. The one thing that I would tee up is that we need to be now focusing on mercury retrograde, which begins Sunday evening at 7:53 PM Eastern time.[00:03:48] Mercury is in Pisces and when it goes retrograde, it will be at 12 degrees. Neptune is in Pisces as you know, and it is at 17 degrees, so they [00:04:00] won't be conjunct, but they are only five degrees apart. So where that could be amplified could be around mistaken communication because Neptune confuses, right?[00:04:12] And it could be like non clear communication. That's a very Piscean slash Neptunian characteristic. Now, we'll talk more about it over the weekend and into next week as it launches. But here's the thing. So where at Thursday, if there is anything that you would like to deliver. Or communication related projects that you would rather not have the stamp of mercury retrograde on.[00:04:41] Then today or tomorrow or Saturday, would be your delivery deadline. if it's an email that needs to be sent, if it's a report that needs to be turned in, if it's something that you would. You that you could delay until next week, but you, you kinda thinking, you know, I'd really rather not have confusion and misinterpretation energy around this.[00:05:04] Then Friday is your day. If it's during, if it's a work project, if it's something that could be turned in before eight o'clock basically Sunday night, I'd back it up. I'd say I would be protective, I'd say by Sunday afternoon. Then do that. Mercury retrograde Pisces style coming at us on Sunday. Have a great Thursday.[00:05:27] I'll see you tomorrow.

Episode Notes Welcome to The Whole Phil podcast, I am your host, Phil Reese, the DJ, that's my Facebook name, Really Phil Reese, that's my Twitter, Phillip J Reese, that's my Instagram, my dot com and my real life. This is the podcast where you get your whole Phil. I talk about whatever I want, with whomever I want, and do whatever I want, because there's no rules, no format, and no bleeping censors (sorry Mom). Thanks for joining me today, November 17. Let me tell you a little about me, I'm a loving, lovable, fat, hairy, queer, inked, sober, spiritual, vegetarian, feminist radical leftist web developer, video producer and deejay in DC. Now that you know a little about me and where we are, let me know a little about you. Tweet me, at reallyphilreese, I'd love to meet you. Let's start the show. Today am going to talk about procrastination.I WANTED to talk about it tomorrow, but I promised you an episode today, and I guess I better stick to it.I am a natural procrastinator. Why do today what you can put off until ... infinity?Procrastination isn't just about putting something off. We have to reprioritize and rearrange our schedules sometimes. Just the other day I was planning to get a haircut, but I ran out of time because the very pressing priority of playing with my cats came up. Then just this morning I was going to go to the internet store and return a router that I'm not even using anymore and paying rent on, but then my bed was very warm and comfortable. Then there's the blankets I really need to take to the laundromat.I will find any excuse to procrastinate. And it's a real problem. Most people wouldn't call me lazy, though. That's because procrastination isn't about laziness it's about fear and anxiety. We put off those things we aren't sure we're prepared to deal with yet. Almost all the tasks I procrastinate on deal with having to leave my apartment, lug a bunch of stuff around town by myself on public transit, deal with strangers, and be unsure about how much time the task will take. My anxiety over these things lead me to want to banish the thought of the task from my consciousness so I can think of something more pleasant. We often use these anxieties to give us an excuse to then be lazy instead, but the laziness is a byproduct of the anxieties and procrastination, not the cause of it.What can I do to combat this then.Sometimes I use other anxieties as a motivator. In the case of my haircut, I may tell my DJ partner, Ben I'm going to get a fresh cut before our party on Friday. The anxiety of then showing up and looking like a liar Friday will overpower my anxiety about sitting around in the barber shop for God knows how long.In other cases I may seek out encouragement from someone with more experience. In the case of dealing with my internet company, I have a neighbor who deals with them frequently. I may ask him what his experience at their office was like, so I know a little better what to expect.Finally, necessity can take care of others. It's getting cold. I need clean blankets. So it's either freeze to death or buck up and haul my stuff to the boring laundromat. In this case, maybe I can ask a friend to join me to make it a little less unpleasant and pass the time.Knowing your procrastination's source is actually specific anxieties and not just laziness can help you conquer it. What are you procrastinating on? And what fears or anxieties might be behind that? Is there anyone you can talk to to help you alleviate that fear?So knock something out today you've been procrastinating on! That's it for today. I hope you're enjoying the show.

Welcome! Good morning, everybody. I was on with Mr. Jim Polito this morning and we talked a little bit more about encryption and eavesdropping by our smart devices. Well, it is that time so, here we go with Mr. Polito. For more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com ---  Related articles: Is someone eavesdropping on your Smart Speaker? ---  Automated Machine Generated Transcript: Good Morning Everyone! Busy times here. I've been doing the daily Facebook Lives and thanks for joining me on those and YouTube lives now too. I've added this week, man busy, busy, busy times. And we're talking this week of course about mobile security, which is a little bit different event last week where we were talking about VPN and next week, I'm probably not going to do too many of them will, maybe I will, we'll see because I'm going to be out at a conference. Then Friday, of course, you'll get an email out today. I'll probably send out this afternoon about my special master class and I'm holding on Friday this week. So keep an eye out for that. Make sure you attend. Alright, so here we go with Mr. Polito talk a little bit more about encryption and eavesdropping by our smart devices. The man, the myth, the legend, genius, super genius. I'm talking about our tech talk guru Craig Peterson. Good morning, sir. Good morning. Are you sure it's not Monday, you know, with Danny's  bones and no, cuz I've been doing it too. I don't know what it is. That's worse. You know what we shouldn't be allowed around such high technology. Frankly, we should just refer to you. And that's why we defer to you every Tuesday at this time because you bring us up to speed. You lay it out for us. So we've got two topics we really want to cover today. First of all, that lying thieving little Alexa, she may be working for the bad guy she may have. She may have a little Stockholm Syndrome and she's working for the bad guys. Now we'll get to her. But encryption, encryption, you say that there are big news and encryption and that's the thing that's supposed to keep all of our transmissions and materials safe as we traverse the World Wide Web. It's interesting too with this whole al Baghdadi thing, and how we tracked him down through, of course, you've been following this closely as we know that it was human intelligence, right. It was like the wife of one of the couriers. That kind of tipped us off in that case. And we can rewind time back to Saddam Hussein's days. And you might remember back then, we had shocking on and we went in there, we knew where he was. We knew where his sons were because we were able to track their encrypted phones. Yeah. Now they were using some encryption technology out of the United Kingdom. And they were using something that had a chip in it called a Jupyter chip. And this was a chip that was designed by an encryption conglomerate, if you will, that consisted of private companies and government and the government. The UK government, in this case, hadn't built in a backdoor. So we were able to hear all the communications between Saddam Hussein and his sons, as well as other encrypted communications. Now, fast forward a little bit, we had Bill Clinton who his administration was pushing something called the Clipper chip, which was the ultimate in encryption, and it was going to keep all of our conversations safe. And then it turned out his administration came up with an encryption chip with a built-in back door. Now back doors can be problematic because what it means is that the government or some other third party has access to all of the encrypted communications that are going on. So let's fast forward a little bit again here we had James Baker, who was the former FBI General Counsel Who said we have to be able to get into the encrypted channels. And there are complaints been going on right now with Facebook because Facebook is encrypting or they're going to encrypt more stuff. They already are encrypting some things. And the FBI director is coming out right now saying, Hey, this is a real problem because Facebook is currently the lead reefer of child exploitation accorded the FBI. So, yeah, exactly. This is FBI Director, Christopher Ray. And so they're saying now and along with the trade journal, Bob Barr, that we need to not have encryption. Well, the former general counsel, Jim Bakker has changed his mind. Now he says, no, no. Craig. He didn't change his mind. He evolved. We don't say change. He evolved. That's a Clinton administration. Obama administration is evolved. And they seem to do that over time don't say we're at a point right now where Facebook is saying, Hey, I want to have encryption and just the WhatsApp app has and some of the others like a signal which is one of the best. And on the other side, we're looking at terrorists and child exploitation people who are using this as cover. So we have the ability now with our smartphones to have incredibly high encryption in place. And the question is, should we, and with the new technologies that are coming out, Google just announced quantum supremacy and you know, it really happened. There's a lot of discussion about that. But basically with one of these new computers that are Developed right now. Any all but one type of encryption we think can be broken in a matter of minutes. So real? Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, they the with supremacy that quantum supremacy that Google announced, basically they can perform 100,000 years of computer computation hundred thousand years of computation in a matter of minutes. Right. I read the article. Yeah. In reality, they didn't really achieve it, but that's okay. You mentally is an expert opinion. Well, they really didn't achieve it. But they're close. Yeah, exactly. So this is a real problem. We've got new encryption standards, who got better encryption than we've ever had. We found out less than five years ago today that the National Security Agency, the NSA, pleasing the standards of encryption that are out there, so they could basically have a backdoor, they could easily break a lot of encryption schemes that were being used. So if this is something we need to discuss and just plain isn't being discussed, and I don't where I come down, I think we should have our privacy. If law enforcement wants access to our records, they need to get a warrant. And maybe they need to install some sort of software on our devices so that they can do men in the middle attacks. And you know, the old fashioned way, a little bit of gumshoe, President Clinton destroyed much of our spy network worldwide because he had what he said was the technology advantage now, where we can just spy on people by listening to their digital communications, we no longer have that benefit. So as we've seen with Al Baghdadi, Baghdadi and others, in reality, it's the people on the ground. It despises the old fashioned way that gets us the result. Because encryption, man, it's just too hard to break. And these guys are getting smart. We're talking with Craig Peterson. And at the end of this segment, we're going to explain to you how you can get a lot of this information from him on a weekly basis. And it's one of the things I look forward to in terms of getting this information. All right. So let's go to our dear friend, Alexa. She may be the Mata Hari of, of smart speakers, her and a bunch of the other ones because the bad guys are kind of dropping her into our house as what a Manchurian candidate to do. They're bad Vinny, why don't you tell us about that? Yeah, well, these smart speakers have basically apps that you can run on them. Google has its Google Home electro Of course from Amazon. With the echo and others, there's there is a number of them that are out there. And they call them different things. So basically, it's an app that you can use. And some of them are really cool special weather stop as Steve uses his for the weather, right? There's still the special apps you can download. They're called skills in the Alexa world. But what we're finding now is some kind of concerning stuff. You know how I've said that Alexa doesn't sit there and actually listen to everything that's going on. It's not absorbing it. It's not pushing it up to the internet. It's waiting for one of its wake work for you to wake it up. And then it records for up to 30 seconds and sends it on up. Well, with Google, that's not the case with Google Home. And with Google Home, they found that some of these apps will continue to listen and stream everything. So here's how the Google work as long as a Google Home keeps hearing somebody talking every 30 seconds It keeps streaming up to the internet. And so they have found now that some of the apps are actually doing that. And they're sending it all up there listening in. So our fingers are confirmed. And then you mentioned Alexa because some of the apps some of these Alexa skills now have some kind of nastiness in them. And they will ask you on the Alexa for your password, your username, various other things don't ever give to your Alexa or your google home or anything else. Unfortunately, Google has been really bad about keeping the Google Play Store clean from malware. Apple's been quite good but not perfect. So I just don't trust the Google Home stuff in the eavesdropping. It's been doing but don't give your credit card don't talk to, you know to lecture says what's your password and don't give it to it. Come Use the app that you have from the at the I did the Google Play Store for Alexa or the Apple App Store for iOS, use those apps to configure to download skill to get everything going. Because it turns out now and this is according to FR Labs, that they were able to collect personal data, including user passwords, are able to eavesdrop on users, because we're just not paying attention. We're just trusting these things a little too much, maybe. Wow. Good sage advice. Now, in order to follow up on that advice in order to get more information, it's very simple. You just text My name Jim to this number 855 385 5553 for just text and Jim to 855-385-5553 standard data and 10 tax rates apply. Craig will not steal your information. He won't try to sell you crazy stuff. He'll just give you great information and updates when there's some kind of an emergency. Craig, excellent segment. Great to talk with you. Hey, thanks, Jim. You know, maybe next week we can talk about this whole. Are they listening? Why when I talk about Fox, all of a sudden I start seeing shocked and we'll talk about that next week. Maybe if people aren't aware of Steve's not happy about that. He's going to give he'd like to give the smart speaker the Italian toss if you know what I mean. All right. Thank you very much, Craig.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-392 – Rhonda Marie Runs Tennessee (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4392.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-392.  This is Chris your host.  Well, it’s been a couple weeks since we talked and a couple weeks since I finished the Burning River 100.  I’m back to full strength as near as I can tell.  I seem to have recovered very well and very quickly, probably because I hiked so much of the last half.  Today we speak with Rhonda-Marie who a blind ultra-runner who did something amazing this summer.  She ran the Last Vol State Run across Tennessee which is a 500KM or 314 mile race.  But she did it unguided.  You are going to love this interview.  My audio editor Dimitri even commented on how this one was super interesting. In section one I’ll do some Q&Q on the Burning River race, a bit of a wrap up, if you will.  In section two I’m going to talk about kindness.  Because we all need more kindness in our lives.  My recovery is going very well.  I’ve started training again and have some races lined up that we’ll chat about later.  The first week after the race I did mostly stretching and a couple bike rides.  The second week I started running again.  Two weeks from stumbling across the finish line in Ohio I went up with some friends and ran the Wapack trail course one-way with them.  We had a blast and I felt great.  Very strong.  What you look for when doing recovery runs after an ultra is unique.  When you go out it’s not that your legs feel tired. Just the opposite.  When you first start the runs your legs feel great.  Unique to post-ultra recovery runs is that somewhere in that run your legs can go like throwing a switch.  It is all the more telling because you feel great up to that point, then your legs just disappear.   That hasn’t happened since I started back in.  So I think I’m good.  If you listen to any interview or story of ultra runners, when they are asked what they learned, invariably the answer is that we are stronger than we think.  Our bodies are designed for this stuff.  All we have to do is train for it and ask our bodies.  Then we have to decide to do it.  Whether it’s getting up off the couch for your first run, or stepping off the cliff edge into the yawning dark unknow of 100 miles, or 300 miles, you can do it if you decide to.  That’s it.  That’s what separates the finishers from those that don’t start, the belief that you can do it.  You can do it.  Just decide to do it and it is as good as done.  That’s the hard part.  The decision.  What hard thing are you going to decide to do today? On with the show! … I’ll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean? It means you don’t have to listen to me trying to sound sincere about Stamps.com or Audible..

There are book reviews, odd philosophical thoughts, zombie stories and I curate old episodes for you to listen to.  I recently added that guy who cut off is foot so he could keep training and my first call with Geoff Galloway.   “Curated” means I add some introductory comments and edit them up a bit.  So anyhow – become a member so I can keep paying my bills.

Traditionally Rhonda-Marie runs accompanied by guides; runners who call out obstacles along the way. With these guides she's run races from Marathon distances to 100 mile distances. She has also completed several end-to-end runs of various Ontario trails including The Bruce Trail (885 km), The Avon Trail (110 km) and The Thames Valley Trail (112 km). Rhonda-Marie has also ventured to the infamous Barkley Marathons. Rhonda-Marie continues to work in her community to encourage and create space for inclusive sport. Accessing the Inaccessible In July of 2018, Rhonda-Marie Parke will attempt to run The Last Annual Vol State race without the aid of guide runners. Why Will Rhonda-Marie Proceed Unguided? "My whole life, I have had to follow - even if the direction has been my choosing." - Rhonda-Marie Parke Disability is diverse, dynamic, and ever changing. There is no such thing as universally accessible, especially in a 314 mile road race where cars are moving pieces, where animals are out and roaming, where fatigue, injury are all very very real; but then again, so is crossing the road to get to the library. Rhonda-Marie continues to show other-abled athletes that they can get involved in the sports of their choice. Rhonda-Marie also continues to encourage running events to think about how to make their events accessible to athletes of ALL abilities. Inclusion in sport is not a given, it’s a process of adaptation and evolution of parameters. Ongoing conversation and community building is required. What Is The Last Obstacle? In addition Rhonda-Marie looks to bring light to a bigger issue facing those with disability - stigma. She continues to face intolerance when it comes to her participation in sport as some believe that there is no place for a blind athlete in such a dangerous event. Rhonda-Marie is confident in her athletic abilities and that through training and careful planning, there is no reason why she won't have the same chance at success as any other runner. Help us show that if they have the desire and the drive, other-abled athletes have every right to participate in sport. Please help us send Rhonda-Marie to The Last Annual Vol State. With your help, she will strive to overcome the Last Obstacle.   Section two – Into the Unknown - http://runrunlive.com/burning-river-100-into-the-unknown Outro OK my friends, you have stumbled along a highway shoulder to the end of episode 4-391.  Be careful out there. Rhonda Marie is amazing, right?  I felt seriously out of my depth with her.  I think I’m going to try to see if I can’t guide a runner for Boston next year.  I am training again.  I signed up for a few races.  I’m going to run the Wapack Trail race on Labor Day weekend.  It’s my club’s race.  I’ll go up early, help set up, park cars and then run the race.  I’m looking forward to it.  I should have good juice in my legs from all the miles I did this summer. Then I agreed to run a Ragnar the weekend of September 21st with my coach up in New York.  Treat myself to a little adventure! And finally, I signed up for the BayState Marathon again.  It’s my go-to marathon for requalifying.  I’ll take a shot at getting my number for 2020.  My buddy Brian is running it too.  We’ll see if I can get enough speed back by the end of October. After the successful outing on the Wapack Trail I told coach I was ready to get back to work.  He gave me a couple workouts for this week, as if to test me.  I did a 1:40 step up run Tuesday.  I went into the run feeling dead and didn’t have much hope for being able to step up to zone 3 effort for 30 minutes then up to zone 4-5 for an additional 30.  That’s a hard workout.  I felt heavy but figured I’d just do what I could and see how long I could keep my legs turning.  As I stepped up the effort my legs were surprisingly strong.  I was able to hold a decent effort level for the last hour of the step up.  Looking at the results, I wasn’t moving super fast but I’m happy with the effort 2 weeks out from the hundred.  Then Friday night I went down to my local track and knocked out some speed work.  I did a ladder of 2X600, 2X800 and 2X1000 and was able to hang in there.  The mechanics felt quite foreign.  I was leaning back too much and was swinging my arms around.  My butt muscles were sore afterwards.  It’s going to take awhile to get some speed back, but I think I’ll be fine.  … … I had a one day trip to Orlando this week.  It’s a bout a 3-hour flight.  I got up early and flew down, we had meetings and lunch and flew back.  That put me out of the airport in Boston around 7:30 and getting after 8:00.  I was wiped so I figured I’d order a pizza to pick up as I whizzed by on my way out to the suburbs.  So, I called up Siri and asked her to call the pizza place for me.  I was in my truck on the highway and didn’t want to be too distracted by the phone.  I got the guy on the phone and had the following conversation… Me: “I’d like to order a Mushroom Pepperoni Pizza.” Him: “Sure, name?” Me: “Last or First?” Him: “OK 15 minutes.” And he hung up. When I got to the pizza place I thought I’d ordered from I found out that Siri and I had different ideas on that.  She gave me the number of another pizza place.  It was late.  I was almost home.  I thought about just bailing out on the whole thing, but I knew, across town. 4 .4 miles away, a pizza place had made a pizza for me.  So I bit the bullet and drove over there.  Good karma.  When I got to the other pizza place, I went in, apologized for being late and asked if there wasn’t a mushroom Pepperoni pizza here waiting for me.  He said, “What’s the name?” I said, “I don’t know.  You asked me for my name, I said ‘last or first’, you said ’15 minutes’ and hung up.” He didn’t have a Mushroom Pepperoni.  But, he did have a Sausage Pepperoni, for ‘Lester’.  We agreed that was probably it.  He felt bad about making the wrong pizza and gave me a discount.  I didn’t tell him I never meant to order a pizza from him to begin with and was just barely able to drag p the will power to not stiff him.  And the karma balances out.  Even when ordering a pizza.  I’ll see you out there. MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -

It's been awhile since I've done any Q&A on "HeySteve"... I'm kinda already in the Q&A zone this week so I just kept on goin'. Woo! What's up, everyone, good morning. My name's Steve Larsen and you're listening to Sales Funnel Radio. Welcome to Sales Funnel Radio where you'll learn marketing strategies to grow your online business using today's best internet sales funnels. Now here's your host, Steve Larsen. All right, all right, all right. Man, I'm kind of just a happy, excited individual in general but particularly this last week has just been such a personal win, it's just been so awesome. Many of you guys know I went and I got to speak on Russell's stage for three days, it was crazy. Oh my gosh, it was so much fun, I had a lot of fun with it. It was ... A lot of guys know we just launched the Two Comma Club Coaching Program and it's been awesome, it's been a lot of fun. We had hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds of people join in and ask for Two Comma Club Coaching training, all the material. Those people who also purchased it they came for ... The last time we opened it, just this last week they came for three days. We went through their messaging, we went through their webinars, we built a funnel out, we built the sales portion, we indexed stores, it's really intense. The first day we went from I think was about 8:30 in the morning and then we'd leave at about six. Not bad, right? There's no breaks, we don't take breaks the entire day. We let everyone out for lunch once just to grab some food but besides that there's no breaks, there's nothing else. The second day what happens is we get up and at 8:30 everyone's back in there and then it was me. I went from 9 am to midnight. It was crazy. Russell came in and he taught a segment of it but man, we were on there for 17 hours. That's a ton of energy. I've always thought, "Oh my gosh, this is going to be such a ... I'm going to be exhausted," but I didn't realize how much. At the end of the day I was like ... The whole day is built around just us trying to help you get your slides done so you can do a webinar. It's very intensive and we stop slide by slide, by slide by slide... We walk around the room, we're like, "Hey, that doesn't look right or switch this or change the messaging to this or switch this word around or okay now pitch it to that guy over there," you know what I mean? It's like, it's intense and it was a whole lot of fun. What I wasn't expecting is how incredibly sore my body would be just being on stage keeping high energy, keeping big, loud, and proud, and keeping my hands all over the place. You know what I mean?... I didn't expect that part of it. I remember I laid that night at about 1:30 in the morning by Russell and I did a little strategy session for the next day. I laid down to go to sleep and my feet just started throbbing, not like, "Oh, they're sore," they actually hurt. I said, "Oh my gosh, I truly am an indoor animal now because I'm not used to ... that would not phase me in the past." Anyway, it was great. The next day I got and we went again from about 9 am to about six, five or 6 pm. It was great. We went through and people had all their stuff done. Anyway, last time we did this the people who actually implemented it and got out there, they'd make 19 grand on their first webinar. Another lady, she already did 700 grand, $700,000 in the last two months since she launched it, when we did this event last time. Anyway, this was a great event... When Russell invited me to come teach part of it, it was really honoring. I was shocked he asked. I was like, "Are you talking to me?" He's like, "Yeah dude, you know this stuff so well come teach it with me side-by-side." I was like, "Okay, cool." It was a lot of fun, just super honoring, very, very honoring... Anyways, that's what's been going on... My dad flew out and we had him over and he was doing that also for his webinar. Anyways, it was just a really, really good experience but I feel like I've been in recovery mode. It's Saturday right now and this all just happened just this last week. Then Friday we had all these people who joined the Two Comma Club Program. There's a two week program that we put you through before that you can even come to Boise so that you can be prepared for it. I had my first Q&A session over the phone, it was over Instant Tele-seminar. These guys went in, they got ... It was about 70 people on the phone with me and I was on for three hours straight. It was crazy. It was so funny because at the end of the day I walked back into the room where Russell was and I sat down at my desk there. Russell was like, I think he started laughing, he goes, "Hey, how you doing?" I was like, "It's going really, really well." I didn't expect ... I was like, "I have so much more empathy for how you feel after your events, that was really intense." A solid 17 hour day, another eight hours after it, I only slept ... I went to bed at 5:30 in the morning a few days before the event started just because I was preparing, I was trying to get ready.  I got a pretty big home office here, at least floor space-wise. Man, I was walking around and I was teaching as if people were in the room. I was getting really intense, really animated. I got whiteboards all over the place, I was drawing stuff out, doing all the things that I would to help concepts sink in deeply for when I was going to actually be on stage and teach. One thing to note, it's another totally different thing to teach it... Anyway, so that's what's been going on with me. I'm so sorry, I feel like I haven't been, I guess I have launched a few podcasts lately but I realized after I was doing the Q&A session I was like, "Wait, I have a Q&A session of my podcast and I haven't done that in probably ..." I don't know, it's been probably 30 episodes at least. I went and I looked at the app that I use for people to ask questions to me. Now, if you guys don't know what I'm talking about go to salesfunnelbroker ... Sorry, salesfunnelradio ... salesfunnelradio.com. Scroll down a little bit, there's going to be a green button on the right that says record voicemail. You can record a voicemail question and it'll be straight across your browser, it's really awesome. It'll email the copy to me and what I do is I kind of vet the questions to see which questions could apply to everybody. Those are the ones that I place inside the podcast. I'm going to do that. I lined up about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. I lined up about seven questions so I'm going to play the questions so you guys all hear it and then I'm going to answer them real fast, does that sound good? This podcast might go a little bit longer than normal but it's only because I have not done a hasty segment of this podcast for a very long time and I'm so sorry. It just hit me while ... I got so tired in the middle of my three hour Q&A session yesterday I actually sat on the floor for a while with my laptop answering questions. Russell came in and Melanie came in and they were handing me snacks and treats because I was just going, and going, and going. It was really fun. We had people from all across the world on there, it was so fun. Anyway, so let me play this first question here. I'm just going to kind of shotgun fire over several of these questions, that sound good? Cool. Al right, that's the plan. Let me put the first question here. "Hey Steve, how's it going, it's Adam here, 20-year-old college student out of U Mass. I just had a quick question for you. You had mentioned before how you started off by providing a free service where you would build sales funnels for companies that were already established. I kind of want to take that same approach as I have a pretty in depth knowledge of how to use ClickFunnels. I've been using it for a while now, I know all the tools inside of ClickFunnels. I use actionetics setting up email sequences, all that fun stuff. I kind of want to take the same approach where I provide a free service to go into a company and build a sales funnel for them. I was just wondering if you can give me some insights on what approach I should take. I feel like that would be really beneficial for a lot of others out there. Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it." Hey Adam, that's a great question. There's a lot of ways to do it. If you don't have any ... Okay, let's start with this. It's all about results. If you've never built for anybody ever then you need to do it for free. You got to get out there and you have to do it for free. That kind of sucks a little bit but that's how it's going to work. Do it for free because this is now very much a results based economy. What you 100 other people can do in their immediate area. They may not know it but the moment they realize it, it's like, "Oh my gosh, why are you different?" The way I actually got started was I just started ... I was like, "Okay, what industries do I want to work in?" There's a little bit of a checklist I used to actually get started with the stuff. The thing that I started doing was I said, "Okay, number one. I want to work in an industry where there's a lot of money that flows into it and it's a normal thing to do so." You think real estate or cars, people expect to spend a lot of money in those areas. I wanted to spend ... What's nice is if I was to get them an extra two or three sales a month that would change their whole business. Rather than going for something worth really low ticket eCommerce drop-ship style where there's hardly any margin in it. If I was going to go choose and try and prove myself to a market like that I'd really have to increase volume to show massive improvement. Does that make sense? It's the power of the high ticket. That was the first criteria that I was looking for. The second criteria that I was looking for was that they already needed to be in business with a customer base. I did not ... I did the startup game for so long just going person to person, startup to startup. Great, super, awesome to do that but you know what? It was really, really hard because if for some reason the sales funnel didn't work the first time we launched, and half the time Russell and I launch a funnel it doesn't work the first time. We have to see what happens and we make tweaks and then launch it again. Usually that's when it starts to really make money. Does that make sense? These guys would come back and be like, "Oh my gosh, you must not know how to build funnels." I'm like, "Actually no, you're a startup and you haven't proven your market, you haven't proven your model, you haven't proven your product, your business isn't proven. You don't even know what you're doing." They thought the funnel was the business and that's not true at all. Anyways, if you're going to go do that, what I did is I just started making a list of the industries I wanted to go do that stuff in to fit those criteria. Then all I did is I ... Go to Google, search locally different businesses with those industries. I literally started shotgunning this email out or I'd go find them on Facebook. I'd be like, "Hey, I know this is weird ..." If you say that then people for some reason put their walls down. If you don't say that then they're going to be like, "This is weird," so you just call it out. "I know this is weird but I build these things online called sales funnels and I just wanted to know if I could do it for you. I know it's totally out of left field but I love the industry, I love ..." You can talk about their business specifically so they know that it's not spam. This works really well on Facebook Messenger by the way also... "Hey, I really, really want to be able to show the market that I know what I'm doing in this area. Let me build what I call an internet sales funnel for you for free, it'll come out of my pocket. I'm literally just trying to get results as big as possible for anybody right now. Could I do it for you? It will be completely free to you. The only thing I ask is that when it works, only pay me if it works. If so, I would love to get a video testimonial." That's how I did it and I shotgun blasted that style of message to tons of people and I started getting a response. It's funny, any time I wanted to get into a new industry, I still do that. I did that probably a couple months ago. It was before I moved to our new office but I was thinking about going into the real estate area. I was like, "Okay, who can I go build for for free?" I just started blasting the same message across so many platforms that I think Facebook thought I was spamming people, which I kind of was because I was trying to get my message out there and ask who I could build for for free. That was basically it. I got back great people. A few days later I was building for free for a lady who was a realtor to prove myself in the real estate niche. Anyways, that's how I would do it. Hopefully I answered your question, Adam... All right, and there's the next question. "Hey Steve! I just wanted to know do you do your own graphics or do you outsource it? If you outsource it what's your process, how do you do it? Thanks, have a great one. Love your podcast." That question was coming from Greg Grimsley and that is a great question. Graphics-wise, if you've been in any kind of funnel building you know that graphics is a heavy part of it, graphics, and video, and copy, which is pretty much all web pages in general. Yeah, you got to solve that problem. I do my own graphics. I 'm pretty sure you're talking about those little funnel box graphics that I made. Yeah, I made those, I used the Adobe Illustrator for that. One of the things that I learned from Russell sitting next to him is he is so good at taking complex things and turning it into a simple picture. When you can do that your ability to teach is going to go through the roof. Sometimes what I'll do is .. I still do it. I got whiteboards up here over on the side and if there's something that I need to explain better I will draw a picture. It's one of the major reasons why half of his ... He's got a lot of pictures in his books and that's why he does it. It's on purpose, it's not just because ... It's so that we can explain things that otherwise would be very hard to see without a visual. A lot of times what I'll do is I'll sit down and I'll draw the picture. If you're not personally a graphics guy, man you can go on Fiver or Freelance.com or whatever and go and pay someone to make a little graphic out of it. If they charge you more than 50 bucks they're probably charging too much money for you. Anyway, that's how I do it though and that's how I do it. I use Adobe Illustrator. I was a layout head editor and designer in high school and I've kind of always just liked layout and design so I do it myself. If you don't have that skill that's fine, that should not stop your progress. All right, this next question comes from Art Boyd. "Hey Steve, Art Boyd here! I do have a question for you. First off I want to say you're amazing, I listen to all your podcasts. You bring tremendous value to the marketplace and I just appreciate all that you share with us. My question is this, how come you give away your free click funnels website that you spend over 200 hours on? Why are you giving that away for free and not charging for it? What's the real marketing ninja tactic that you're using that pays you on the back end? Let me know, I appreciate it man. Talk to you soon, thanks." Hey, that's a huge, huge ... Thanks for bringing that up. The reason I do it is because of, well really two different things. Okay, how many times do you go to a ... Have you ever been to a used car salesman? You go to a used car place or a new car place or any place where there's supposed to be sale happening. You walk up and the biggest thing you know that you're going to run into is the moment you pull up somebody is going to be there as you open the car door and just hounding you. They're going to be hounding you, that sucks. I hate that. Anyway, I love to be sold but I do not like to be bullied. That makes me feel bullied. I feel like I'm being backed into a corner like, "So do you want it? You gonna get it? Okay, we could buy this." People who will jump out and immediately show you how your objections are worth nothing rather than actually valuing the objection and dealing with it. The reason I do that is because I read ... Anyway, the free thing ... A lot of you guys get hung up on the free thing. "Well, I got to have a free thing in the front." Not always but it really helps to have something free on the front end to start building your list. I haven't been doing this podcast that long, I've barely spent any kind of advertising dollars behind it but because I do that I gained like 2,000 people on my list in the last little bit. It gets shared. The reason I do it is because it gets shared and it's something that I should be charging for. When you guys are starting to come up with the free thing, the bait to pull people into funnels or pull people into your world or whatever it is, the thing that you're doing do it for free for somebody else. Also do, maybe if you can, depends on the industry, depends on to make sense what you're doing but man, I would take something that should be paid for, especially for branding yourself. Especially if this is a coaching, author, speaker, consultant, whatever it is. Myself, man take something that's free or something that people should pay a lot of money for, help them feel that they should be paying for it, which is the reason I reference the fact I spent 200 hours on it. I'll charge 20 grand for funnels now, however I don't usually take any kind of funnel ... build products anymore. Got my own stuff going on which is awesome... Anyway, take something that should be paid for, something that's crazy so that when people like, "Oh my gosh, this is crazy. I get it for free? Oh my gosh." That reaction right there, that's what I'm trying to cause inside of them, inside of their psyche because they'll go share it. If they go share it, it means I won. How do I grow a business almost completely organically while working on the side for one of the most intense entrepreneurs that is even out there? Like that, that's how I do it. What happens is I know that if there's ever a product in the future I have delivered so much freakin' value. Personally I just know. I have delivered so much value. My goal is to deliver so much value. If I can deliver so, so much value and turn around and say, "Hey, you know what? For months I have helped answer questions, I have helped give things away that you should have paid a lot of money for. The next that I do come out with a product ..." I say, "You know what? This product, I actually can stand behind it. It took me a long time to make it but it's going to help you do this. Here you go." There's going to be a lot of people who are fine paying me money for that. It's completely the law of reciprocity. The book "Launch" by Jeff Walker, I really like that book. There's a section or chapter in there that talks about the nine ... There's nine principles of persuasion or something like that. Nine principles ... Gosh, I can't remember the name of it. Anyways, it's any of those categories. One of them is reciprocity. If I give you something for free or ... This happens all the time. Oh, here's a good example. This happens all the time during Christmas or holidays or whenever. If you're in a spot where there's all these neighbors and you walk up to someone ... Someone rings your doorbell, let's say in the middle of dinner time. You're like, "Who's at the door?" You walk up to the door and there's a neighbor there and they've got a plate of cookies for you and a card. They walk in they're like, "Hey, Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays or whatever." What's your immediate gut reaction? "Oh my gosh, thank you so much. I wish I had something for you. I wish there was something I could give you back. Stay right there, stay right there." How many guys would turn around, run back into the kitchen and you grab a can of beans or something to give them to try and show appreciation back. You feel the need to reciprocate, that's literally the reason why I do it. I want to pump value in the marketplace and it also sets me apart like crazy. I get tagged all over the internet for being a resource for people to go get things they need to in order to be successful with funnels. "Well shoot, if you just want to get started right off the bat I got a really great funnel for you and it's free. It took me a long time to build it. Well there you go, you can have it, it's yours. It's a template, I took it out of my content, you can go grab it." Anyway, that's why I do it. That's why I'm a little bit bossy about it. I have an exit pop. If you go to salesfunnelbroker.com it's at the bottom but there's also an exit pop. Some people feel like exit pops are a little bit aggressive but I know that what I'm asking for in the exit pop is such ridiculous value for the funnel and what it gives you that I don't feel bad. I feel like it's totally fine. I don't feel like it taints my image at all by being annoying one more time before somebody leaves the site. Anyway, that's the answer to that one, that's why I do it. I thought about it a lot, there's a lot of strategy behind that and there's a lot more that I'm about to put into that as well. Great question man. Right now what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to break this into a second podcast because there are so many questions. I don't want this to go, it's going to go like 40 or 50 minutes if I keep going here. Let me break this into another episode here. I want to thank you guys. Go ahead and tune into the next one, I'll make a part two on this. Anyways, if you guys got a question though please go ahead and ask me. If you go to salesfunnelradio.com, scroll down to the bottom, green button on the right, you can go and ask one. Just make sure the question is something that can be advantageous for the entire group and no so specific to your business that I can't answer it in a broad way. You want to be detailed as possible but also ... I've had 8,000 downloads in the last ... This podcast has taken off guys and I really want to thank you all for being avid listeners and for being supportive with it. That being said, I've got to make it still applicable for everybody and funnels in general. All right guys, thanks so much and I'll see you in the next episode. Bye.

Behind the scenes of what happened over the last ten years to make that experience happen. On this episode Russell talks about a Facebook Live interview that he did with Tony Robbins and how it was the first thing he had ever asked Tony to do in their 10 year relationship. Here are some of the cool things you will learn in this episode: How Russell was able to do a Facebook Live with Tony Robbins to promote his new book. Why Russell has never looked at his relationship with Tony Robbins in terms of what Tony could do for him. And why the ROI with relationships is the cultivating and building of that relationship. So listen below to why Russell believes so strongly in building relationships without expecting something in return. ---Transcript--- What’s up everybody, welcome to Marketing In Your Car. I have good news and bad news, you guys. You want the bad news or the good news? The good news is I got some cool stuff to share with you. The bad news is, maybe this is good news, I don’t know. I think, and I’m a little nervous about this, but I think I’m ready, you guys ready for this, to rebrand the podcast. What? It’s been called Marketing In Your Car for the last, I don’t know how long I’ve done this for, but I bought the domain and concept initially ten years ago. It’s been cool and I like it, but I’m thinking about changing. I wanted to change it, I think we’ve talked about this a couple of times. You are my therapist sometimes on these things. I was going to change the name of it a couple of times, but I haven’t, and I haven’t and I haven’t’. Then yesterday something happened. I had to find something that wasn’t just better, but a billion times better and I think I may have got it. I’m not going to tell you what it is yet, but I’m excited because it’s like a billion times better. So there may be a new rebrand coming up here soon. So if you guys like it, you’ve got to let me. I’m excited for it, so excited. So that’s something I’m going to give you. I gotta step back. Today was a good day, yesterday was a good day, yesterday was insane. We had our certified partners in town. We had a big group of 45 people here, and some of our inner circle members were the ones that were actually some of the business owners that the certified partners had a chance to interview them, figure them out and then go out and actually build the funnels all night for them. Then they come back and present their thing. It was really fun. It was fun, to kind of capstone at the end of the certified partner program. I have a chance to speak to them at the very beginning, and then kind of sneak in and watch what they were doing and that kind of stuff, and it was really cool. Now most of  them left today. And then, yesterday the other cool thing, as you know we’re in the book launch. We’re almost, a few books away from 30 thousand books, we’ll definitely pass it today. And not that this matters, but on the, if you look at how much money is made inside of the cart for every book. Probably tomorrow my guess is we will pass $1 million dollars collected through this funnel. Through the front end funnel, not counting the backend stuff, which is also really cool. Which means the Expert Secrets book will officially be inducted into the two comma club, and we’ll order my own big old record plaque. Yes, I’m just like you guys, I want one every single time I have a funnel that makes a million bucks. We will be ordering one of those. Today or tomorrow we will be passing 40 thousand active Clickfunnel members as well. So many cool things happening. That is so exciting. And then to step back on another thing, as I’ve been doing this book launch, as you guys know, I’ve been doing all these Facebook Lives, these interviews and they’ve been going awesome. Kind of exhausting, not going to lie. Plus, we’re doing a juice fast this week, which is the second juice fast I’ve done this month, which basically means when I’m not juice fasting I’m overeating, because I keep having to come back to it. What’s funny, Dave Woodward and his wife Carrie, were teasing me behind my back because I got all these guys to do the juice fast with me this time. Dave was like, “Why is this so hard? Why isn’t Russell complaining.” And they’re like, “Russell’s a professional dieter.” And we were laughing because I actually am, if you think about it. I spent 12 years of my life as a wrestler, wrestling. And what I did, every single Monday I would come in and be 30 pounds overweight and every Friday I would be 30 pounds down and I would weigh in and then start the vicious cycle over again. Over and over and over again for 12 years of my life. I didn’t mind it in wrestling, but you don’t realize the pattern that sets. So I had this epiphany the other day when I’m hanging out with Dave and Carrie, I might have already talked about this, I don’t remember. But basically my pattern in life is that same way. Every Monday, from Monday to Friday, I’m at the office and I eat perfectly, I usually lose about 5 pounds a week. Then Friday, Saturday, Sunday I just can’t stop myself. It’s insane. So I think it has to do with my wrestling patterns that I instilled over 12 years of dieting all week and then pigging out all weekend. That’s my pattern and why I can’t ever lose weight. Because I lose weight Monday through Friday and then the last three days, I had my weigh ins and then I can eat whatever I want, then Monday I start over again. So I’ve been professionally dieting now for 25 years, which is kind of cool, except for its lame. Why would I tell you that story? Oh yeah, that’s why I’m on the juice fast again. Someday I’ll figure this out. It’s a psychological problem I know, I gotta fix that. I gotta fix my brain. Which I actually working on from multiple different angles, so that’s good. Now that I’m aware of it I can effect it, which is hopefully the key for some of you guys. Alright, step back,  it was really cool. We had my interview with Tony Robbins yesterday, he was interviewing me. I’ve interviewed him before, he interviewed me on New Money Masters Series. We’ve kind of done back and forth on some of these things. And it was crazy because in true Tony fashion, he tells you, “Hey, we’re going to start at this time.” And then they shift it 10 times throughout the day. So I felt bad because we had other poddcst interviews lined up and we had to keep bumping people and shipping things around. So if I bumped you yesterday because of Tony, I’m apologizing, but come on. It’s Tony, it was so cool. I’ve known Tony now for almost 10 years, which is crazy. It’s been a decade since I’ve known him, which is insanely cool. And in that time, I’ve never asked him to do anything, I just love him and what he does so much that I was like, how can I help him? We helped, we created a book funnel for him. I paid my own costs, paid my own flights, paid my hotel. It all came out of my own pocket, I spent probably 20 grand building a book funnel for him and just gave it to him as a gift. I’ve coached his people and I’ve helped consult him and other people on his team. Iv’e done a lot of things like that. I’ve spoken at his events, anything I can do, I’ve tried to do and just help him, and not with an ulterior motive like, “Someday, he’s going to get me.” I have a joke with one of my buddies who always jokes, “I’m your real friend, I’m not here because you’re successful, I’m your real friend.” I’m like, “Whatever, it’s a long con. You’re waiting ten years from now to cash out.” So it’s always this joke, “How’s the long con treating you?” So why I say that, with Tony it was never a long con. “Okay, ten years from now he’s going to maybe promote me.” It was never like that, it was like, Tony’s freaking awesome, he’s helped me so much. How can I help and serve and give back. I don’t think I could ever give back what I got from him. So anything we’re doing is just cool. But think about, I helped him from giving what I’m best at and gave that to him for free. I paid him to come to my event. I’m a customer. I’ve done all those things, and just because I’m trying to give back to him in a little way. And obviously he gives, every time I help a little bit, he gives back so much more. He came to our event, we paid a lot of money for him to come to the event as our keynote, but then he came back and went for 5 hours and just blew everyone’s minds and it was insane. Anyway, long story short. I have never asked Tony to promote anything ever. This came around, the book came out and it was the first time I was ever like, “hey, would you be willing to do this?” And he’s like, “Yeah.” And what’s crazy about that is I think so many people go into relationships, looking at what’s ROI for me in this deal? Should I invest my time and I think that that’s the reason why most people don’t get deals to happen and they don’t have longer term things happen. You know what I mean? If went to Tony like, “Alright what’s my angle, how am I going to get him to help me?” It never would have happened, I don’t think.  But because I was like, okay Tony’s the man, how can I help him? To now 10 years later, a long time later, but 10 years later he comes back and does this really cool and it was amazing. So some of the results. We did the Facebook Live interview. We actually did it first on Skype because he just wanted to not have it live, live. In case, something bad  happens. So we did live and he’s like, “cool, you guys can run it.” So we took that and edited it real quick, chopped off the beginning and the end. Put it through an OBS, which is a streaming platform, and did a Facebook Live on Tony’s page. We had 1.8 to 1.9 thousand people watching it the entire time. 5 hours into it, we had 70 thousand views and 3 or 4 hundred thousand reach. This morning it was 100 thousand views and close to a million reach. I think 19 thousand clicks have come from it. Which is crazy, if we were to buy a Facebook ad and get 19 thousand clicks, let’s say it…I mean that’s probably 20-30 grand in ad costs just to get that. And this is all coming organically from Tony’s page, his recommendation. We’re selling tons and tons of books. Then this virtual book tour, one of the cool things we’re doing is with everyone, we’re doing the Facebook Live on their page. So it lives on their fan page and then we’re going in, their making us admin on their account and we’re actually paying my money to boost their Facebook Live to their audience. So now we had the opportunity where they’re allowing us to spend my money to promote to their audience, and now it’s going out to all 2.2 million of his followers it’s going to keep growing and growing. And my guess, next we’ll have a million views on that video. It’s just huge, it’s a huge winner for us. We were going crazy celebrating and we continue to, and I was just so grateful. First off that Tony was willing to do that because he’s so protective of his brand and everything. It means a lot to me that he was willing to do that. But second off, I just want you guys to realize that I can’t tell you how many people a day that I meet that come in that are all about, you can tell as they look at you……I just assume it’s what really good looking women struggle with, you meet a guy and you can tell that they don’t really care about you, they’re just interested in everything else. I get that a lot. It’s hard. As soon as I meet people, even at the certified partner event, a couple of people I met, I was just like, I could tell I was a piece of meat. They were looking me up and trying to tell, this is how we’re going to get this thing from him. It’s just like, I hate that. Whereas, people I do deals with, similar to Ton or whatever, people who come in and genuinely care and serve and help and do stuff. Last year, I think we only promoted one person last year, Stu McLaren, why? Stu’s awesome. For the last ten years of our life he’s never once asked me for anything. He’s always helped me and served me and given me cool opportunities to serve other people, just such a cool person. So when he came he was the only person we promoted for the last year. And this year we’re probably not promoting anyone. It’s just like, we don’t need to do that. We don’t have to do that. Tony didn’t have to do that. It didn’t help him at all. But the right people, it’s like you’re giving back to them from the relationship. If I can say anything to you guys, I would say start focusing on relationships without trying to figure out, what’s the ROI in this relationship. I know that I’m very big on that. If you take the disc profile, I think it’s the disc, one of the traits of, one of my traits, everything for me is ROI. What’s the ROI of this conversation? What’s the ROI of doing anything? If there’s not an ROI I don’t like doing it. But with relationships I try to not have an ROI. Just go into it and look at the other person as a human being as opposed to an investment.  And just be like, how can I help this person? What do I got that can serve them? And if you do that from a real, not a fake standpoint where you’re actually in it for the long con, but you’re in it for, this dude’s awesome. I want to help him. Good things will come to you, and that’s how relationships are actually built. You don’t get into relationships with people, typically where the first date you’re trying to size them up and figure out what you get out of it. It’s the one’s where you’re coming in and serving and turn it into amazing relationships. Especially when both people are serving, that’s when the most magic happens. Anyway, there’s a book called Dig Your Well Before You’re Thirsty, I think it was Harvey Mckay? I don’t know, I never actually read it, but I read the title and that’s the gist I’m trying to share with you guys today. Dig your well before you’re thirsty, because someday you’ll be thirsty. Someday you’re going to have a book launch in ten years from now or whatever that is. Because I dug that well, and I’ve been digging it for ten years, now when it comes, now it’s actually happening. Same thing in this, it’s interesting, this business for me was always, used to be all about reciprocation, people promote you if you promoted them. It’s like 3 years ago when we launched Clickfunnels we said, we can’t do that anymore. We just can’t. Otherwise our business won’t be able to grow. And it was scary for me, I was like how are we going to grow this company if I’m not reciprocating? Well how else can I reciprocate? So for the market, for partners, for everyone I’m like, I’ve got to reciprocate by just giving everything all the time. And what’s crazy is people who are promoting this book launch, I look and there’s some of my mentors, people who I look up to more than almost anyone. I look at Mark Joyner, my very first mentor. I look at Alex Mandossian. All these people helping us promote and none of them are doing it like, “Russell you promote me and I’ll promote you back.” They’re all doing it like “man, Russell you have given so much to whatever.” To them, to the community, or whatever and now they’re promoting. It was insane. So I almost feel like, I always thought the only way to get to do that was through reciprocation and it kind of is true, but it’s a different kind of reciprocation. Not just you promote me I’ll promote you. It’s like legitimately spend the next three years of your life seeing how you can serve your market and the people around you and people and just figure that out. And then when you do they’ll say yes. And that’s cool. That’s really, really cool. So it was a big break through and hopefully it was good for you guys. So dig your well before you’re thirsty. Build relationships without trying to get anything in return. And then in the long term who knows what will happen. But something might happen, whereas if you go the other way, nothing is going to happen. There you go, you guys. And the last thing I’ll say is when you cultivate and build those relationships, that is the gift in and of itself. That’s the ROI. I look at Mark Joyner, my first mentor, who we had come out for Funnel Hacker TV, we’ve worked with him. That relationship with him for me is huge. That was worth way more than any him promoting. You know what I mean? Just the benefits of that, getting to know him and being able to know him in a more personal level, was worth 10x more than him ever promoting for us. So I think that’s the result. Getting deep in the relationship is the result, that’s the ROI you’re looking for, any other ROI’s that come are just gravy. So focus on that relationship and how you can help people and that’s the key. Anyway, I  know that’s not like marketing tactile, like what’s the tactics? Here’s the tactic, become really good friends with people and try to help them. It’s not a sexy tactic, but it’s the most important one. So there you go. Alright, I’m out you guys. Have an amazing day and I’ll talk to you guys soon. Bye everybody.
