I det tämligen begränsade 403:e avsnittet är det Hans och Johan som inledningvis pratar om TLDR, TLDL, MAGA och vaskad kaffe. Som vanligt blir det en lde forskningsreferenser och denna vecka handlar det om skolans brister i att lära ut digital kompetens. När det handlar om verktyg pratas det Canvas största omgörning, Notebook LM och dataverktyg som kan förutspå vem som kommer begå brott. De uppmanar även till att stjäla prompter. Huvudfokus ligger dock vid SETT och i ett on the fly segment pratar Patrik och Hans om sina intryck från årets mässa. Även om avsnittet är lite kortare denna vecka är det mesta sig likt då det handlar om skola, digitalisering och lite annat. 

Let's discuss the most accurate medical drama ever: The Pitt on HBO Max. The TLDL?

David and Tamler lead off with a breakdown of the new commercial for “friend (not imaginary)” a new AI necklace that takes hikes with you, interrupts your favorite shows, and will be there for your first kiss. Then we talk about a new paper co-authored by VBW favorite Joe Henrich that challenges cognitive science for pretending to be universal without offering evidence. A good discussion punctuated by David's new theory of the rise of the autism. (TLDL the nerds are having sex).  Friend Reveal Trailer [youtube.com] Kroupin, I., Davis, H. E., & Henrich, J. (2024).

Hey friends, today we cover a funstrating (that's fun + frustrating) issue we had with our DIY pentest dropboxes. TLDL:   The preseed file got jacked because I had a bad Kali metapackage in it. While I was tinkering around with preseed files, I decided it would be more efficient to have the Kali ISO call that preseed file directly over HTTP (rather than make a new ISO every time I made a preseed change).  To accomplish that: Mount the Kali ISO Explore to isolinux > txt.cfg Modify the txt.cfg to include a custom boot option that calls your preseed over HTTP.  For example: label install menu label ^Install Yermaum kernel /install.amd/vmlinuz append net.ifnames=0 preseed/url=https://somewebsite/kali.preseed locale=en_US keymap=us hostname=kali777 domain=7min.sec simple-cdd/profiles=kali desktop=xfce vga=788 initrd=/install.amd/initrd.gz --- quiet

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Brad Crowell 1:08  Hey everyone, Brad here today. Today we're gonna talk about depression, suicide and mental health. And if that's triggering for you, feel free to skip this episode. If you or anyone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, or are in a mental crisis you can call 988 in the US for the suicide and crisis hotline. And there are there are definitely hotlines in every country around the world I'm sure so take a quick look online. Anyway, onto the episode.Lesley Logan 1:50  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the earnest convo I had with Steve Wilson in our last episode, if you haven't yet, listened to the interview, feel free to pause this now, go back and listen to that one and then come back and join us. You might be wondering what the point of this interview is, if you listen to that one, and the whole thing is is like my frickin goodness, we don't talk about mental health enough, enough. And either in your journey, you might personally have some issues with your mental health. Whether it is something that is something that you need to medicate or it's just something of different therapy around or someone in your life is and it can be fucking difficult when someone in your life is going through something you can't fix. And so I really wanted to have this earnest conversation. But before we get into that, today is February 8th 2024. And it's a Laugh and Get Rich Day and you know what? It's a day to laugh and to enjoy the many benefits that laughter brings. The biggest benefit of laughter is it improves our health. Laughing can elevate our mood, lower stress and blood pressure, pressure and strengthen the immune system. Pause. I'm gonna just tell you when I grew up, my parents used to tickle us and go laughter brings healing to the bone. Brad Crowell 2:59  It's the best medicine. Lesley Logan 3:00  Laughter is the best medicine and like we just would laugh, laugh laugh right before bed, which makes zero sense because we couldn't fall asleep afterwards. Brad Crowell 3:07  You get fired up, yeah. Lesley Logan 3:07  But anyway, that's fine. Back to this script of what this day is about. In this way, laughter makes us rich because health is wealth after all. But laughter can also contribute to our financial gains by enriching your professional lives. Those who laugh often tend to be happier. Hello? Happy workers are more productive and are liked by co-workers.Brad Crowell 3:27  So okay, so I looked into this because I was like, laugh and get rich Come on, are you for real? Lesley Logan 3:33  That Think and Grow Rich is that but like Laugh and Get Rich by Napoleon Hill.Brad Crowell 3:38  I was a bit skeptical to say the least. So can laughter actually have an impact on our income? Turns out there is an NIH or a National Institute of Health study that looked into this exact thing. And the results revealed a significant relationship between equivalent income and the frequency of laughter, social relationships and family structures were also associated with the frequency of laughter. So surprise, laughter can actually have an impact on your income and your relationships with other people. So, how about that?Lesley Logan 4:11  (Inaudible) next line? Brad Crowell 4:11  Laugh it up fuzzball.Lesley Logan 4:14  That's a Star Wars reference, by the way. Katie Donnelly, got it. And Rachel Piper and maybe if there's other Star Wars people go for it, let me know. All right, let's go. So February 11th, is when we actually start Agency Mini Number 10.Brad Crowell 4:31  Number ten. Lesley Logan 4:32  So, that's just in three days you can go to OPC, no, that's not it.Brad Crowell 4:35  Nope. You can go to profitablepilates.com/mini Lesley Logan 4:39  Wow, I've never done that profitablepilates (laughs) that's how rich I am, profitablepilates.com/mini. Just sign up because we have yet to pick an Agency Mini Number 11 state and that's not a threat. It's just reality. We are really, really trying to get down to one time a year with this, and we don't know if it's gonna be this year, but it could be. So you want to sign up? Because that's might could be the last time we don't know. Brad Crowell 5:07  Yeah, so we're gonna be helping fitness business owners just like you figure out their messaging, clarify their purpose and how to create a pitch that isn't salesy and feels natural to you, in a week of getting to know Lesley and I and our coaching style, and then afterwards, you can join us in the Agency program. Lesley Logan 5:25  And or just get every question you've ever had answered, like you think you want to start a membership, we'll tell you pros and cons. And we'll tell you if you're ready. And if you are ready, we'll tell you how to keep going. And if you're not, we'll tell you how to get ready. Like, we're not we're not here to shoot anyone's dreams down. We're here to actually make it possible. And we don't want to waste your time doing it. Okay, now OPC. We have summer camp coming up this summer, and we're letting you know that it's coming up, because it's gonna be amazing. And usually throughout the year, we do little workshops. We're not doing that anymore. We're doing a summer camp instead. So you don't want to miss it because it's going to be amazing. And you're going to want to go to opc.me/workshops to get on the waitlist way to go, babe. Added that right in right there live opc.me/workshops that's plural. Okay. Then there's an OPC reformer challenge going on right now.Brad Crowell 6:19  Actually it just wrapped.Lesley Logan 6:20  Just wrapped. But you know what, it didn't wrap for you. Because you can, this is why we're amazing, you can actually sign up for it right now because it starts when you want to start it.Brad Crowell 6:28  You sure can. Lesley Logan 6:28  That's opc.me/challenge. And if you're like, Y'all, I want an accountability challenge. But I don't have reformer. Well keep listening, because in March, we will have a mat version for you. So it's really, really amazing. You can start that anytime if you're like, ah, this week's not great, LL, I'm going to start next week, fine. Write down opc.me/challenge and then sign up next week. Running down this list here. I already mentioned the March Madness Mat Challenge because it's coming up in March, so you know stay tuned. The presale for the barrels flashcard deck. Here's what I can tell you right now because I just placed the order. The spine corrector is finally available from ControlLogix. And if you're like what? Yes, it is. Do you want my discount link? Yes, you do. We'll put it in the show notes, but also Brad Crowell 6:31  Go to opc.me/perks Lesley Logan 6:54  Perks. And if you're like, they want me to call them LL. Well guess what reach out to us. We got an email of the salesperson who will hook you up with my discount link, but you have to email me for that email. So you want to, for the Barrels Deck, the best price is always a presale price. Why? Because we make you wait several months to get them. So your payment for waiting and being patient is 30% off. And the only way to get that is to be on the waitlist for the flashcard which is opc.me/flashcardwaitlist. Do you see how the waitlists are where the epic should happen? Because that's where it happens. Brad Crowell 7:49  That's where it happens. Lesley Logan 7:50  That's where it happens. Amazon podcasts, obviously, so opc.me/flashcardwaitlist, I'm gonna talk over the dog.Brad Crowell 7:58  I couldn't help myself. Every time you touch me it's like static electricity snap on my earballs. Lesley Logan 8:03  For sure. Everyone who's watching on YouTube is watching us like this weird thing with our heads. It's I'm being shocked in my earballs. Okay, so last but not least, the Cambodia early bird has closed. And oh my God, you guys Brad Crowell 8:19  There may still be a few spots left. Lesley Logan 8:21  We don't know because we're recording this in the future in the past for the future. Brad Crowell 8:26  In the past for the future. Lesley Logan 8:27  But if you go to lesleylogan.co/retreat plural or singular? Brad Crowell 8:34  Singular. Lesley Logan 8:34  Singular. You can sign up and see if there and if it says sold out. Well. Brad Crowell 8:40  Lo siento. Lesley Logan 8:41  Yeah, lo siento. I'm sorry. Flash not get on the waitlist.Brad Crowell 8:48  Go to retreats plural and get on the waitlist for next year. Lesley Logan 8:50  Yeah. All right. Before we get into this awesome topic about mental health, do we have an audience question, Brad?Brad Crowell 8:56  We sure did. Thank you, Shawn from Youtube. What are the measurements for the arm and leg springs on the Cadillac if I wanted to make my Cadillac more classical? Lesley Logan 9:08  So, I love this, Shawn. And here's the quick and dirty answer. I have listed the entire measurements for every place where you would want to place a hook on your Cadillac or tower or wall unit on the Cadillac flashcard. So you buy that flashcard deck. It's right there and also in centimeters because I am aware that the rest of the world uses the metric system. Is that correct?Brad Crowell 9:29  Yes, yes it is.Lesley Logan 9:33  Well, what system do we use? Brad Crowell 9:34  Imperial.Lesley Logan 9:35  Imperial. That sounds so tough. Imperial? In this country an imperial system? What? That makes no sense. It makes me think of like, like going to the Great Wall of China. Imperial. Okay. Brad Crowell 9:50  It's because we roll. Lesley Logan 9:51  Wow, you know what, you guys, America makes us really wonder too. Okay, but I do have the metrics system listed, as well as the Imperial. Inches versus centimeters for people who were like, what's the translation there? If you're wanting to make your equipment more classical, if you're an OPC member, we actually help out with this a lot, by the way, because we can look at each particular piece of equipment and give you feedback on yours, also based on your body. But the other thing you want to consider everyone who is retrofitting or not even retrofitting, but just like making modifications to the equipment you have, it's very important, you know this, don't go buy clips at the hardware store, don't like you got to be really, really careful what you're doing, because your equipment that you have, is definitely tested to stand the test of time for the springs that are sold with it. So if you're buying springs, that are not the brand of equipment that you have, here is the deal, should some shit hit the fan. The way the insurance companies work, is your insurance company is going to get sued, don't stress about it, that's why you have one, but then your insurance company's gonna go to the manufacturer, manufacturer will go, nope, we don't use those springs on our equipment. Now, that doesn't mean you're personally responsible. It just means that your insurance company is going to take the fall for it and they don't get to pass the buck off to somebody else. Again, don't stress about it but you need to make sure that if you are making changes to your equipment that the clips that you buy go with the springs because the springs and the clips that they sell those springs have been tested for the torque of the springs. So if you go to the Home Depot, or I don't know what you call it in another country, those clips are not tested for the (inaudible) I don't know Home D. They didn't sponsor this episode. So (inaudible) we keep saying their name, but if you're gonnaBrad Crowell 11:49  I bleed orange.Lesley Logan 11:50  Do you remember that okay, you guys. There's a reel, there's a reel where this girl she's like I have never pronounced an L so hard as when I went into the hardware store and said I need to buy some (inaudible) but anyways, okay, when you you don't want to so the moral the story don't buy your clips at a hardware store. Whatever springs you buy buy clips from that manufacturer because they are tested for the torque and tension of the spring and pressures about to happen keep that in mind. If you're gonna make changes people do this all the time. That doesn't mean it's right it just don't stress about it. Brad Crowell 12:32  It's an FYI. Lesley Logan 12:32  Just an FYI. Brad Crowell 12:33  Shawn, thank you for that question on YouTube. And if you would like to leave a question for us, where should they go? Lesley Logan 12:40  Oh, you can just leave it anywhere. Apparently we just pick them up anywhere. We just pick them up anywhere. So I infusing it into the Be It Pod is much easier. But just like the T the TL didn't listen TL DL. You fast-forward it. Get the flashcards for the Cadillac Deck they are they are they are also labeled for towers and you will have the measurements there. Brad Crowell 13:01  OPC.me/flashcards. Okay, now let's talk about [Steve] Wilson. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1978. After years of misdiagnosis and struggles, including a pivotal stay in a mental institution, he eventually found stability. Beyond writing his book Teetering On a Tightrope: My Bipolar Journey in 2022, [Steve] dedicates his time to facilitating two mental health support groups, providing a hope and understanding to those navigating similar challenges.Lesley Logan 13:37  Yeah, so I have to say like, the more I thought about him, the more I thought about his wife that he's been married to forever. Brad Crowell 13:44  Yeah. She's a rockstar.Lesley Logan 13:45  And when I told my dad about this guy, and my dad was like I said, he has been married for this many years. And he goes, Wow, she's tough. Like, andBrad Crowell 13:53  50-year 50-something years of marriage and for part of it, he was likeLesley Logan 13:58  MisdiagnosedBrad Crowell 13:59  Completely misdiagnosed.Lesley Logan 14:00  Mismedicated. And so I kind of I resonate with that. And I wanted to have him on for some reason. First of all, I fell in love with him in like a pre-interview chat. And he he is, you know, dying as we speak. Like he he didn't tell me why he's dying. But he does. He's dying. So. So I wanted to have him on as quickly as possible because I really love that he is wanting to share and make a mental health something that we're all talking about. And he dedicates his time if you listen to the episode to like helping people talk about their mental health, but also like I just think that it's so it can be so hard and can feel so selfish when you are trying to make your magic happen and someone around you is suffering. And so one of my takeaways is it's very tough job to be a supporter. And you've got to love them. And you know, making sure they have housing and good stuff, but like, you can't, you also can't fix them. And that's the hardest part is that we all want to fix people. You know, I know everyone listening in here, a lot of them are teachers, a lot of them are in the service industry of some kind. And they like, and they're mostly are women and so you're inherently a caregiver who just want to love up and support people. But you, you can support them, but you don't have the answers. Unless you do. Unless you're trained in that. And then you do, like, why I have a client who is a psychologist who totally does, but um, but it can be really difficult, you know, even even her own personal life, she has some family members who have some mental health issues, and she can't (inaudible)Lesley Logan 14:09  You know, like, if it's family, they also know what you do, and it can be resentful, you know, or they can resent it. So yeah, it's tough. I mean, being a supporter.Lesley Logan 15:49  Yeah. And also, like, you know, something that I want to bring up that I think is important we had Lindsay, what's Lindsay's new last name? Lindsay, my old assistant, she did a course for us on Profitable Pilates, about being an advocate. And one of the first things she said, which is she was quoting somebody else, which is like, you can Brad Crowell 16:15  Moore.Lesley Logan 16:16  Lindsey Moore. Lindsey, if you're listening, I'm so sorry, I can't remember your last name. It's not even new anymore. But she, she brought up a person's like, a quote in the industry is like, you could only advocate you can only support someone in the amount that you have energy-wise, like there's a Venn diagram of their needs, and what you have to offer. And it's very, very important that you are acknowledging what you have to offer because if you go beyond that, you now no longer can serve them, or yourself or the people you're responsible for in your life. And I think that can be really difficult when we're watching someone suffer, because we can want a lot of things for them. And he has bipolar disorder. But you know, we know people who have gross narcissism and things like that, like, it's really freaking hard, because you're like, I just want them to take their meds or I just want them to do these things. And you, you can love them, and you can support them, and you can advocate for them in the amount that you actually have. And that's really, really hard for people to live with. Because they want to do more.Brad Crowell 17:20  Yeah, and, you know, I'm sure there's many of you out there who are in a situation right now where you're supporting someone. And you know, what [Steve] was talking about what that was just loving them, you know, he talked about people say, angry things to you. And it's really easy, I guess, easy is the wrong word. But it's, you can get to the point where you just want to snap back and he said, you know, that will never work. It will not work. But yeah, I you know, it just makes me think back through the relationships that I've had in my life and, you know, seeing trying to be there trying to be supportive without also being pulled down yourself. That's really challenging.Lesley Logan 18:10  Yeah. Well, and that's but that's like that whole like, we all ignore. No one listens to security tips anymore on the plane, although we should because the door just blew off. But we like that was Brad Crowell 18:24  Did you hear someone they found somebody's iPhone, it blew out of the plane 16,000 feet it landed, it was still working.Lesley Logan 18:31  What? Yeah, that's crazy. They also found the plug that came out in the first place, which like, yeah, at any rate, listen to the security thing. They say one thing that's very important, put your own air mask on first. And we all tend to give more than we have. And it's just, that's not gonna help anybody. And if you're not an expert in mental health it is okay to seek out an expert. And there's also a lot of groups you know, like in the world of AA and stuff like that. There's Al-Anon there's different, there's different groups for people who have people who suffer from mental health issues so that you can be seen by people who get you because like, you could tell you're, I have friends like you go to tell them a problem and they like just do not they're, it's okay for them to be the wrong person. You know, so, which I think is it's important to acknowledge that sometimes our friends are amazing, our family's amazing, but they're not the right support for us. If you're going with some if you have someone in your life or you yourself have a mental health situation. Brad Crowell 19:33  Well, one thing that I really loved that he said, what that he talked about was after he moved to Arizona, and had the appropriate medical diagnosis and the meds he was on we're actually providing support for him. He really wanted to give back. And so actually, before he even moved, he was starting to do speaking at high schools and stuff. But he said, When he got to Arizona, he was they turned him away. Because he's in his 60s and trying to talk to like 15-year-olds, he wasn't as relatable as they were looking for. So he said, alright, well, I'm gonna go do this anyway. But I'm going to work in support groups. And so he started, he began facilitating two different support groups. And he's been doing that for the last eight years. And you know, his mission. He said, he started that whole thing back in the 90s when he had a clothing store, in Ohio, and two people, two young people, he knew had committed suicide, and that's really took him down the teen route and supporting teens, you know, and then today, you know, he's supporting these groups that are, you know, all ages, but it sounded to me, like his passion is still youth, and really working with youth. Brad Crowell 21:00  And you had a great question for him, you asked him, hey, we got a lot of moms on this program. You know, how do you begin to identify or, you know, what do you do? If your kid is beginning to struggle and they're unwilling to talk to you or they're exhibiting these different signs, and he said, he said, watch your child and notice if there are changes in their moods or actions, and you do not probe that he said, the first telltale sign is that their overall attitude will shift, whether that whether they're playing like, maybe they're escaping into video games, or you notice that their grades are dropping, or they never go outside. You know, these are signs that there's there's very much like something that's mentally, like, they're struggling with something right. And for him, it was abuse or sexual abuse. Right? And his parents he said weren't paying attention, and they wouldn't have known what to do anyway, because nobody was talking about it 50 years ago, (inaudible) more than 50. He was it would have been, he's in the 70s now, he's in his 80's now?Lesley Logan 22:14  I don't know how old he is now. But it was, he was like eight Brad Crowell 22:17  Yeah, he was he was less than 10 years. Lesley Logan 22:19  So young. But you know what's crazy to me is like, we all talk about like, oh, the world was worse now than it was no, it was terrible then Brad Crowell 22:27  Yeah he was raped as an eight-year-old in a movie theater (inaudible). Lesley Logan 22:32  There was no language around that and no one was taught opening up like my parents were very much like, no one's gonna touch you, these are your private parts. You can only be touched here if you give permission like, but like, that wasn't happening. My dad was never told that. Do you know what I mean? Like I like think about my dad's age when I was thinking about Steven, and I was just like, that wasn't happening. We but we pretend like nothing was happening bad back then. But it was. It's just it wasn't on the news it wasn't getting from this location to another location. Brad Crowell 23:02  And yeah, there wasn't the the Internet to disseminate, you know, that this has happened. happenedLesley Logan 23:06  This has and what are the telltale signs? And you know I Brad Crowell 23:08  You don't hear about it. Lesley Logan 23:09  I happened to, this morning, I happened to, I don't know why my news app came up, but and I also don't know why I clicked on this article. But I'm glad I did because I think it's really fitting for this. So Jessica Alba. I don't even know what she does today, in what, but she was interviewed for a magazine. Real Simple's first health issue, mental health issue, she was interviewed for it. And she was very open and honest that she and her daughters go to therapy together. And I was like, wow, that's so interesting that she would share that. And she actually shared how she got her daughters to go to therapy with her. And by the way, every one of my friends who has a daughter, I'm like, just so you know, they're gonna hate you for 10 years minimum, at least, you gotta let it go. You got to be prepared for that. Like they're just going to hate you. But Jessica Alba, she noticed that her daughters and her were having conflicts. And so she actually signed them up for therapy. And she said, this is your hour to tell me everything that you are upset about with me. And so parents listening, if you're trying to get your kiddos, to talk to you what's going on, what a great way to preface this is your vent hour like you can be up you can say everything you don't like about me in this container. And then there's a therapist there who can help you as a parent, articulate what they need, and also can help this kid that you're raising, you know, share what's going on with them. And like I just think it was I loved it. I was like, if my parents had told me, this is my parent venting hour I'm in therapy every week would have loved it. Mom, if you and dad are listening, just saying, that would have been a better marketing strategy.Brad Crowell 24:53  Yeah, she has a 15 and a 12-year-old daughter and then a younger son. Lesley Logan 24:58  So anyways, I think it's really important that we know the signs when you have kids and also just like how to support people that are going through it. So that doesn't affect you in a way that is beyond what you can handle. It's okay.Brad Crowell 25:13  Yeah. He said if you if you do identify, you know, like a dramatic change like those, those things, he said, you need to connect with your kids. So figure out how to connect with them, how to build a relationship with them. Jessica Alba was give her daughters' venting time. He said, it's important that you don't straight up say that there's something wrong with them, and we need to fix it. So we're gonna go to a psychiatrist like, that is probably terrifying for them. Also mortifying for them, because they're probably feeling embarrassed or guilty.Lesley Logan 25:50  Anything wrong with them in high school and junior high, like everybody, butBrad Crowell 25:53  Also like, you know, like I you know, what did he say? He said he didn't tell anybody about his abuse for 30 years, 30 years before he told him what so he was 38 before he ever talked about it. Right? So it's the, the guilt and the fear associated with it, it makes it easy to hide that kind of a thing. And so he said, be gentle in the approach. Yeah. Lesley Logan 26:27  Yeah. I think that's amazing. Brad Crowell 26:29  All right. Let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with [Steve] Wilson? He said that it's a terribly long journey ahead, you know, to stabilize mental health. You know, and he was specifically talking about the two different types of bipolar disorder. And he I want to say he had type two, I think that's what he had. But, you know, you had a really interesting conversation about stability. And, you know, he said, we, he said, so many people in this country who are suffering, he said, 60 million people suffer from some kind of mental health, whether it's depression, or bipolar, or whatever. And he said, we could get start, we could start getting some things done if we, as a community, who maybe we are suffering ourselves, or maybe we know someone who is suffering. But the only reason the only way that change will happen in the in mental health in our country, in our communities, is if we become active in voicing, our desire for change for the need for support in this area is so important. I mean, I think that it's again, because of the Internet, it's so prevalent today, it's so, we can easily find all these instances where mental health is a problem today and it feels like there's nothing being done about it. And he said, actually, that there are less, there are less support groups today. There are less college psychiatrists today. There are less therapists today than there were, I don't actually know when the stats are, but in recent years, he said it's on a decline. Yeah. And, you know, a lot of that has to do with the business behind health care in our country. Right? The fact that the insurance companies make it really challenging to get coverage for these things and Lesley Logan 28:43  They make it so challenging that the therapist can't make a living off of it. They don't take it anymore. So like,Brad Crowell 28:50  Otherwise, you're looking at paying out a couple hundred bucks a session. 300 bucks a session.Lesley Logan 28:54  Oh, my God, it's yeah, no, no, it's it's insane. And I don't fault the therapist for not taking insurance because like, I know how hard, in the United States, I know how difficult it is to get paid from insurance companies. You're waiting months. Yeah. And they bring it down to nothing. And so people have bills to pay. And it just needs to be some. That's a whole other topic. At any rate, I there are, what is amazing is there are look in your community. There are some support groups that are out there, it's, you're to find them. But like, you know, I know in Las Vegas, there's different support groups that are based off for different types of people. And there are charities that want to help you there are so you know if you are the person supporting someone who has is mentally ill, I think you know, use your Internet. Thank God we have it.Brad Crowell 29:46  Yeah, I definitely like completely sidetracked and took over your Be It point.Lesley Logan 29:51  Yeah, it's okay. I'm gonna go into it. Brad Crowell 29:52  Well, well, you know, I think we can just you already talked about find in the Internet. He mentioned a company or an organization called NAMI, N-A-M-I, so, you know, find that website, and they have resources and tools on there for those who are suffering from mental health. And then also, you know, he talked about calling your congressperson. So to be quite honest, I mean, that is the easiest possible thing.Lesley Logan 30:18  Everybody, you know, call your congressman, we have a phone number, because there's a, there's a sweatshirt you can buy off Cricut media called call your congressperson. I think it's 222Brad Crowell 30:29  202-224-3121. And we'll put that in the show notes. 202-224-3121. And you can call them and you can tell them, hey, I live in this state, this is my zip code, and they will connect you with your congressperson. And you can just leave them a voicemail, you'll almost never get someone on the phone, you just leave them a voicemail, and you say, hi, you know, my name is this is my zip code and I really, really, really care about mental health. And I think that you, as my congressperson should be fighting on behalf of mental health. And you just need to tell them that that is literally what all you you need to do is call them and just leave that voicemail.Lesley Logan 31:06  And if you live in a different country, I don't know how to have your person's number for you, but I'm sure that's on the Internet as well. And they work for you. Whether you get to vote for them or not. They're supposed to work for you. So you call them you find a way to email them, things like that. Lastly, I just want to say he mentioned that the stigma against mental health in this world is terrible. Specific, it really frickin is I was so, so so proud of my dad the other day, we're driving the car. And we're talking about homelessness. And he said, well, most of them are mentally ill. And I was like, you're right. Thank you. They are. Like they're not like, you're I think people look at homeless people. And they're just like, they should just pull it up from their bootstraps. They could there's a job, there's jobs out there you should get them. Y'all you have to have a physical address for resume. You do. Period. You have to have physical address to get your money from the VA system, you have to have a physical addresses, PO Boxes don't work. Brad Crowell 31:07  So if just if I'm sure none of you have been following along, but I've been supporting a homeless family now for five years, I think, four, four or five years. Yeah, they just finally got an address. Finally. Lesley Logan 32:18  Yeah, so So can you just when you see people who are talking crazy on the sidewalk, I know it scares you. I know it makes you fearful, I know you want to turn away, we have got to stop. Other-ising people who have mental health issues. Because it is a prevalent problem in this country. It's prevalent in this world, there is help out there for the people, for people who can afford it or have access to it. And if you are at all able to make a phone call to your congressman person, please do. And if you've got someone in your life, who's got issues that need support, do not stop until you find them support, because we have to stop, we have to stop making it like they're weirdos. They're not. They're human beings who have hormone imbalance who have a genetic thing. Brad Crowell 33:12  Chemical imbalance.Lesley Logan 33:13  Like, like it's so easy for this all to happen. And you also know what you might be depressed one day. So at any rate, this whole episode was not supposed to be done on a like a low note, my whole point of doing this is like I have seen what mental health issues in my own family have done to my own family and how they can tear people apart or make or strain relationships I have seen we lived in L.A. and we saw the effects of mental health that was unsupported. And I feel I am very, I'm very grateful for how that well this podcast is doing and I wanted to provide a story from someone who has who has actually suffered is suffering from it, who is actually doing amazing things and he's got a great book to help you. If you don't even understand what it's like to have mental health issues, the empathy that you could have after you read this book could be what you need to help you support other people. Brad Crowell 34:10  Yeah, in fact, I think that's a perfect way to to end this. I'm actually going to read you the just the byline on this book here. From [Steve] the title the book is called teetering on a Tightrope: My Bipolar Journey he wrote in 2022. He said, as an energetic normal boy of nine, Stephen W. Wilson would not have guessed that the most horrifying day of his life was lurking just months ahead. From that terrifying day when he was at the theater to a suicide to his suicidal ideations. His attempt to kill his father and his subsequent hospitalization, Teetering on a Tightrope sweeps the reader headlong into the abyss of bipolar disorder. Wilson propels the reader into his sometimes out-of-control mind, inability to perform sexually and overwhelming anger. Despite all that Steven Wilson gushes about the monumental times when he was in a state of normalcy and could enjoy life's golden moments, all centered around his family and his friends. Teetering On a Tightrope shows that those who suffer from bipolar disorder can experience a full and productive life. So there is hope.Lesley Logan 35:17  I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 35:18  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 35:18  Thank you so much for joining us today. You are amazing.

TLDL (too long didn't listen): STOP PUTTING YOURSELF IN A BOX WITH CONTENT AND OFFER CREATION BY ACTING OUT OF PRESSURE AND OBLIGATION In this episode, I'm sharing a candid update on the behind the scenes of my business and some of the pressure I've been putting on myself to "oblige" to mainstream marketing norms, to "perfect" my offer suite, and to be "accessible" to as many potential clients as possible…So of course, I'm walking you through my in-real-time process of HOW I'm swapping pressure for play! I share about some of the urgency I've been feeling around the common practice in the coaching industry to offer multiple products or services at varying price points, and to have this 'perfectly proven funnel' set up in my backend. And of course share my unpopular opinions on this, which I believe is actually keeping us in a box, and diluting our voice and points of connection with potential clients. Instead, I argue the importance of experimentation in your marketing and offer creation in order to align your offerings with what feels truly energizing and inspiring, rather than succumbing to societal pressures or obligations. And seeing offer creation less linearly, and more cyclically! This is your massive permission slip to PLAY! Begin to look at offer and content creation like a massive science experiment, start "trying things on for size" without the unnecessary pressure and attachment to outcomes/timelines. Swapping pressure for play is also a way to expand your nervous system's window of tolerance AND an opportunity to heal good girl conditioning and perfectionism! Be sure to listen to the end where I tease my upcoming group program for mother entrepreneurs wanting to get their head out of the way of their heart led business. This group training will be centred on unlearning, relearning, and embodying. The intention is to create a space to unravel and integrate.

So many women are discovering that conforming to the norm and following the prescribed path is just not working for them, and an increasing number are finding themselves feeling disillusioned when they check all the boxes and follow all the rules for having a great career and a successful life, but feel completely empty and miserable inside. Many of them will hunker down and stay on the path, trying to ignore the growing disconnect and dissatisfaction within. Others give themselves permission to figure out what's missing. Today's guest, Meg Burton Tudman spent the early part of her life as a perfectionist and people pleaser, like so many of us recovering “Good Girls.” In spite of giving the impression that she had it all together along with her achievements and successful career in prestigious companies, Meg felt deeply unhappy and unfulfilled. She realized that her seemingly perfect life was simply not sustainable and desperately yearned for a change. Then, the unthinkable happened - Meg got fired from her so-called Dream Job. Today, she will tell you it was the best thing that could have happened to her. Here are some of the highlights of this episode

Ever wonder what's possible when you go “all in” on your magic (what makes you unique, special and memorable) in your small business? And what does that even look like, when so many conform to the norm and follow the herd? Well, today's guest, Stephanie Scheller, a small business marketing strategist for entrepreneurs with ADHD is here to share how she does exactly that and helps others do the same. Stephanie is the founder and CEO of Grow Disrupt, which hosts experiential events for ADHD entrepreneurs who want to market more strategically. Stephanie goes the extra mile to create a unique learning environment, carefully selecting venues with attached gardens to help reset the learning portions of the brain. This emphasis on neuroscience also extends to customized scents, music, and coffee blends to optimize the event experience. And, as a listener to this podcast, you will be one of the first to hear a sneak peak of her new song, “Fly: An Entrepreneur's Journey” which will be released on Oct. 6, 2023 on her YouTube channel. Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ Embrace Your Unique Creativity: Don't be afraid to explore unconventional ideas and ventures that bring you joy. Allow your creativity to flow and infuse it into your business endeavors. It can lead to unexpected opportunities and fresh perspectives.2️⃣ Reconnect with Your Magic: It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day tasks and lose sight of what makes us truly special. Take the time to reconnect with your magic; the unique qualities and strengths that set you apart. 3️⃣ Sustainable Success: Building a successful business is not just about financial growth; it's about creating an environment where success is sustainable. Focus on the holistic growth of your business and prioritize the well-being of yourself and your team. Hey you already know you're different, so why not stand out, instead of blending in?Mentioned in this episode: “Fly: An Entrepreneur's Journey" Jesse Cole/ Find Your Yellow Tux: https://findyouryellowtux.com/DISC profile: https://www.discprofile.com/what-is-discGet more Stephanie into your life:Website: https://www.growdisrupt.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/stephanieschellersuccessforyouLinked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniescheller/One of ways we can work together using my Boss Up Breakthrough framework is to make your business memorable- transforming it from “one of many” to “one singular sensation.” Did you catch the Broadway musical reference?

I was first attracted to Aleasha Bahr because of the name of her podcast, “Sales is Not a Dirty Word” and the audacious claim on her website that she teaches “Sales That Don't Suck”. Because so many self employed women struggle with selling, I just had to know more. Aleasha is a sales strategist that has developed her own unique approach called “The Matchmaker Sales Method,” based on the way women sell. Women, in general have a distinct advantage, because for most of us, curiosity and empathy come naturally. The Matchmaker method is all about fitting, not closing, and it's a way for even the introverts, rejection sensitive and sales avoidant among us can learn to sell in a way that does not feel gross or out of alignment with our values and personality. Highlights of this convo:1️⃣ Shift the Sales Paradigm: What customers truly crave is the feeling of being understood and heard. Replace pushy sales tactics with empathetic and genuine conversations to build trust.2️⃣ Matching, Not Convincing: The matchmaker sales method emphasizes finding the perfect fit between your offering and your customer's needs. This approach not only boosts your chances of success but also ensures a positive and authentic experience.3️⃣ Power of Self-Value: Many entrepreneurs, especially creative and empathic individuals, struggle with rejection and undervaluing their own unique talents. You don't need to change who you are– embrace your style and connect authentically.Connect with Aleasha beyond this episode: Website: https://aleashabahr.com/Podcast: https://www.podpage.com/sales-is-not-a-dirty-word/Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/salesisnotadirtywordLinked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleashabahr/One of ways you can expect to Boss Up if we work together using my 12 week Boss Up Breakthrough 1:1 signature program is to be more confident about your value, pricing and offers.

Today's guest, Shulamit Ber Levtov is a clinical social worker who specializes in supporting female small business owners and who calls herself The Entrepreneur's Therapist. Shulamit started her own business in her fifties after a career shift left her searching for new opportunities. She discovered that entrepreneurship was not only fulfilling but also provided the flexibility and autonomy she craved. In her work, Shulamit aims to change the conversation around mental health in entrepreneurship, helping women recognize their strengths, acknowledge their struggles, and build businesses that serve them holistically.Together we explore:- The isolation and stigma surrounding mental health in entrepreneurship- The discrepancy between the portrayal of entrepreneurship and the reality- The dopamine-seeking behaviors in entrepreneurship and its emotional implications- The significance of self-compassion and understanding in overcoming strugglesJoin us as we delve into these topics and more, and gain valuable insights about the intersection of feminine conditioning, mental health, and entrepreneurship. If you are a woman who identifies as an entrepreneur and is finding her mental health challenged by the stress and strain of running a business, you are not alone. It is the nature of entrepreneurship and as women, therapists, and business owners ourselves, Shula and I wanted to discuss the truth of entrepreneurship behind the glamorous image portrayed on social media, there are a lot of women struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, OCD and a pervasive sense that there is something wrong with them. If you are reading these words, I want you to know that you are not alone.

n the TLDL thread for March 28, 2023, the podcast covered various topics. The crypto market has bounced back from its dip, and there is no major macro news to report until Payrolls. However, Binance has been sued by the CFTC for willful evasion by using VPNs to evade certain guidelines. Despite this, there is an oddly bullish hidden narrative since this is the commodities sector, and certain assets are loosely defined as such. CZ made a proper response, read the article to get the juicy details.Prosecutors filed a lawsuit against SBF, accusing him of bribing Chinese officials. However, Mando points out that this practice is often above board in the US and might not have been prosecuted the same. Otherdeeds announced positive news about Legends of Mara, a new 2D game linked to the deeds. The game allows players to extract resources, Kodas, and artifacts and is set to come out over the next few months. The game looks exciting, with features like vessels, lore and evolution, farming and land.Legends of Mara is said to pick up where the second trip to the otherside leaves off. Kodas are the primary keepers of otherside and are said to be adept at farming, enchanting, and hunting. Currently, a Koda is basically 1:1 with Mutants. The podcast also discussed Ticketmaster using NFTs for ticketing. While physical ticket stubs have been a highly collectible asset for years, digital tickets have taken over the industry, eliminating the need. With the blockchain, a new form of ticket collectibles is sure to emerge.GM! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
