Podcasts about when hal

When Hal asked Astronaut David Bowman to “open the pod bay doors,” it was as if our most primal fear of machines came rushing headlong into the 20th century. Today, in our 21st-century world, we understand the basics of the artificial intelligence behind HAL. We see on display every day our interaction with Siri and Alexa, our reliance on algorithms in flying our planes and soon our self-driving cars. It's the full blossoming of the promised brave new world. But AI is just the Internet in1995. While it dominates every conversation about technology, commerce, the workplace and the economy today, there is an awful lot of misinformation. Its impact can be felt in manufacturing, retail, healthcare, automotive, robotics, finance and science, as well as defense and national security. The academic progress of AI is taking place every day in places like Stanford, Google, Amazon and Facebook. And the proverbial elephant in the room with respect to AI is always China and its deep, rich and no holds barred commitment to be the world leader in AI But nothing beats understanding AI's future like seeing how we got where we are today, who are the people making it happen and what it portents for its future. That is what NY Times journalist Cade Metz does in his book Genius Makers: The Mavericks Who Brought AI to Google, Facebook, and the World    My conversation with Cade Metz:

In this episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck interview Hal Soden, Jr., CPCU, AAI, CIC, CRM, Principal, and Risk Management Advisor at Oliver L.E. Soden Agency. Being the fourth generation in their agency, Hal shares his knowledge and expertise in the insurance business and explains how their services have changed as technology, and business practices have changed. Episode Highlights: David introduces Hal Soden. (1:28) David talks about the conversation that he had with Scott Howell from The Insurance Guys Podcast. (1:58) Hal shares his background.

(11:35) How’s Hal’s experience been as an agency owner? (13:37) Hal mentions that he and his father have different personalities, and he never thought that he had a sales type of personality. (13:54) Hal shares that working with his father went well because they balance out each other. (14:48) Hal mentions that if he wanted an insurance agent, he’d want it to be his father. (15:31) Kyle thinks that people don’t completely understand the volume of different industries or positions there are in sales. (17:24) In Hal’s opinion, he sees it more as selling himself or selling his services, than selling insurance.

(1:03:39) Tweetable Quotes: “I was thinking about my typical line to people that how I got into insurance was that I was tricked into insurance.” - Hal Soden “I’ve sort of changed my approach that it's not just about, like this coverage and knowledge and stuff like that. That's super important, but it doesn't necessarily lend you any accounts. You know, that's not necessarily getting you any business being the best insurance agent, and knowing coverage better than anybody else does.” - Hal Soden “If a carrier comes out with something that they’re best at, I don't mind targeting that. Especially if it's not too far from what we do. There's still certain things I'm going to turn down, no matter what.” - Hal Soden “We’ve got to get better though, and part of the reason I joined your course is because my weakness is marketing. I am very good at closing, you can hand me most accounts, if I get in front of them, I'm probably going to write it.” - Hal Soden Resources Mentioned: David Carothers LinkedIn Kyle Houck LinkedIn Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes Hal Soden LinkedIn Oliver L.E.

Hal Herring is an award-winning journalist and writer whose work has appeared in such notable publications as the Atlantic, the Economist, and Orion.  He is also a contributing editor at Field and Stream and a regular contributor to High Country News. Most recently, Hal has made a name for himself in the podcast world as the host of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers’ popular podcast, called the Podcast & Blast with Hal Herring. If there’s one common thread that runs through Hal’s prolific and wide-ranging career, it’s a love of the West, its people, and its public lands. I’ve long admired Hal and specifically his refusal to be boxed in by any particular political party or close-minded ideologies. He could be considered progressive on some issues and conservative on others, but his opinions are always the result of a lot of deep thinking, extensive research, and thorough consideration. And as you’ll hear him say in this interview, he’s endlessly curious and always open to having his mind changed-- two characteristics that I personally admire and try my best to emulate, especially when it comes to issues here in the American West. Hal and I covered a lot in a little over an hour, and regular listeners will enjoy his depth and breadth of knowledge, as well as his unbridled passion for the West. We start by discussing his upbringing in Alabama and why he decided to move West. We talk a lot about books, and Hal offers up a massive selection of titles that have influenced his work, most of which have never before been mentioned on this podcast. We discuss the importance of journalism at this specific moment in history, and how he goes about finding the facts in today’s overwhelming deluge of media. We also chat about his work ethic, family, his current home in Augusta, Montana, his climbing and mountaineering adventures, and his recent success in the world of podcasts. There’s a lot to learn and digest in this episode, so be sure to check out the episode notes for links to everything. Also, I hope you enjoy the southern accents-- I think Hal really brought mine out in full force. Hope you enjoy!

What if every day you could elevate your consciousness, and create miracles in your life? Beating cancer can seem like a miracle. But it IS possible, and Hal Elrod is proof of this.   When Hal was 20, he had a car crash and died - he was clinically dead for 6-minutes. When he woke up from a 6-day coma, he found out he had 11 broken bones, brain damage and, according to the doctors, was never going to walk again. But he decided right there to maintain the faith that he was going to walk, and that he was going to do everything in his power to make it happen. Within 3 weeks of the car crash, he was taking his first steps. That marked the beginning of his life’s work. But it wasn’t an easy ride.   In 2007 Hal was in a tough spot. He’d lost half his clients, lost his house, he was broke and depressed. So he started looking into what the world’s most successful people do, and designed a morning ritual of self-improvement. Within 2 months, he’d doubled his income, completed an ultra-marathon, overcome depression and totally changed his life. To his wife, he said “It feels like a miracle.” That’s how The Miracle Morning was born.   You might feel that you’re not a morning person - most of us feel the same! But how you begin your day will either put you in a sub-optimal physical, mental and emotional state, or an optimal one. Start your day at your best, and you can give your best in everything you do. This will reflect in every aspect of your life. But how? You need simple, daily strategies that can be easily implemented. In The Miracle Morning e-book, Hal breaks down exactly what you need to do to begin uplifting your mornings, and uplifting your life.   But that’s only the beginning of the story.   Just 2 years ago, Hal was diagnosed with acute lymphotoxin leukemia - a rare cancer with a 30% survival rate. Not only that, but Hal also had a genetic condition that caused his cells to divide and replicate rapidly, making the cancer spread even faster. He had a collapsed lung, his kidneys were failing, and his heart was surrounded with fluid. He was told he had a 70-90% chance of dying within a few months. Going without chemo was not an option - his oncologist told him that the cancer was too fast, and if he didn’t have chemo, he would die within a week. After doing his research, Hal decided to have the treatment, while at the same time implementing every holistic practice he could to counter the negative effects. And it worked. The cancer went into remission.   Hal’s cancer-healing process: No sugar More greens Lots of supplements (food-based) Acupuncture Ozone sauna Beamer mat Coffee enemas Lymphatic massage Read other people’s healing stories (check the links section for ideas)   Beyond all these methods is mindset. You need to believe that you can beat cancer: Unwavering faith - faith is a loaded word, it’s elusive and unreliable, it’s a bit like hope, it’s fear-based. But faith in yourself and your limitless potential is a whole other story. Faith moves your goals from possible to probable. Extraordinary effort - be committed to give it everything you have, and be ready to keep going.   Hal’s new book, The Miracle Equation: The Two Decision That Move Your Biggest Goals from Possible to Probably to Inevitable, is your process for goal achievement. It will help you step out of your comfort zone to pursue your biggest goals and dreams. Use it in conjunction with The Miracle Morning and you can achieve anything you set your mind to.   Being hailed as “Sex and the City for Food,” The Food Heals Podcast brings together experts in the field of nutrition, health and healing to teach you the best-kept natural secrets to being a hotter, healthier, happier YOU!   The Food Heals Podcast is hosted by Allison Melody and Suzy Hardy – two self-proclaimed natural chicks who will rock your world and change your beliefs about health!

When Hal asked Astronaut David Bowman to “open the pod bay doors,” it was as if our most primal fear of machines came rushing headlong into the 20th century. Today, in our 21st-century world, we understand the artificial intelligence behind HAL. We see on display every day our reliance on automation and AI and algorithms in flying our planes and soon our self-driving cars. It’s the full blossoming of the promised brave new world. But is there anything we should or could do about it? Is it out of our control, or do we just need to surrender? Joining me to talk about this is Kartik Hosangar, the author of A Human's Guide to Machine Intelligence: How Algorithms Are Shaping Our Lives and How We Can Stay in Control. My conversation with Kartik Hosangar:

In this episode, I am joined by a guest whose teachings and strategies impact the lives of hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people all around the world. We are chatting with entrepreneur, best-selling author, keynote speaker, podcast superstar, and overall inspiration, Hal Elrod.   I had the opportunity to meet Hal at one of his live events, the Quantum Leap Mastermind, last year and was blown away by his story and his presence within the room.    For those of you who haven't heard of Hal, he is the author of one of the bestselling books on Amazon, The Miracle Morning—which has been translated into 27 languages, has over 2,000 five-star Amazon reviews and is practiced daily by over 500,000 people in more than 70 countries.   When Hal was 20, he actually died in a head-on car crash with a drunk driver, where his heart stopped for 6 full minutes. But that sure as heck didn't stop him.   Fast forward a few years and Hal is now the host of the highly acclaimed Achieve Your Goals podcast, creator of the Best Year Ever Blueprint (Live Event) and bestselling author of ten books in The Miracle Morning book series.   Then, in November of 2016, hardship struck again when Hal's kidneys, lungs, and heart nearly failed, which led to his being diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive form of leukemia. One year later, after the hardest year of his life, I am thrilled to say that Hal is now cancer free and more inspiring than ever!   In this episode, Hal shares how we can master our emotions to live extraordinarily happy and successful lives.   Links: Hal Elrod's First Keynote Speech After Being Diagnosed with Cancer Entrepreneur.com article 7.1 Steps to Create Multiple Streams of Income Forks Over Knives documentary HalElrod.com  Miracle Morning book by Hal Elrod

#1 Bestselling Author of “The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM)” Hal Elrod has managed to take this one book and build a business, following, and movement around it. He now has an entire “Miracle Morning” series and has had crazy success as a coach and speaker. Hal is also a good friend of mine who happens to live in San Diego. His book has had an amazing impact on my life as I have been consistently applying the principles. His book is not only life changing, but his story is incredible too. When Hal was 20 years old he was in a car accident where he was hit head-on by a drunk driver. He actually died for 6 minutes and ended up with 11 broken bones and was in a coma for 6 days. He was told that he would never walk again. He went on to not only walk but run a 52-mile ultra marathon. He was also prompted by his doctors to write a book about his experience. The beginning profits of his first book “Taking Life Head On! (The Hal Elrod Story): How To Love The Life You Have While You Create The Life of Your Dreams” were stolen by his first publisher. Hal bounced back again and went on to he create the life-changing “Miracle Morning” book, community, and business. Today we discuss Hal’s book and how he built a business around it.   You can find Hal here: Miracle Morning Website Miracle Morning Facebook Community Hal’s Miracle Morning Books Hal Elrod Website Hal on Twitter @HalElrod   Show Notes [03:05] Hal's first book was actually “Taking Life Head On”. He was so happy and positive in the hospital that the doctors suggested he write a book. It took 6 years because he thought he wasn't a writer. [05:23] Hal used a small Mom and Pop publisher for his 1st book “Taking Life Head On”, it even made it to number 6 on Amazon. He'll never know how much profit this book made to get to number 6 because his "publisher" left town and disappeared with all of his royalties. [05:56] The difference between writing a good book and a book that creates income and impact. [07:58] Looking at people from a place of non-judgement. Feeling sorry for people who wrong us rather than being angry. [08:51] Biggest takeaway: everyone should write a book. [10:43] Books are the new "business cards". [11:50] Our story, our struggles, and our strategies. We all can write about these three things. [13:16] The Miracle Morning was Hal's story, struggle, and strategy. [14:24] Miracle Morning took 4 years because of lack of clarity and other issues. [15:30] Hal hired a coach because he knows the power of accountability. [16:16] Having accountability, and the book was finished in 4 months. [18:42] To market his Miracle Morning book Hal created a launch team. He also put up an opt-in page with the first two chapters offered for free. He also made an audio opt-in which ran for two years while he wrote the book. [21:13] An email list is income on demand. [22:46] Have an audience ready months in advance before your book goes live. [23:48] The launch team reviewed the book and shared on social. [27:46] Hal had an assistant create a graph of how many books were sold. His biggest sales month was December 2014. It was nice watching the graph curve up. [30:52] Hal is working on Beyond the Bestseller. Writing a good book is the most important component. Change someone's daily behavior, and you create a movement. Build word of mouth into your book the book needs a story to share. [34:08] Get an accountability partner, don't go it alone. [37:55] Creating rituals around your content. 3 practices you do every day. [39:48] Podcast interviews really drive sales. [41:15] Hal is self-published and sells lots of books. His speaking fees have gone up and he has more opportunities. [47:27] Podcasts are great for promoting books. [48:38] Add value over and over, then ask when needed. [55:38] After writing a book the real work of marketing begins.   Links and Resources: self-publishingschool.com Spsfreetraining.com How to Launch a Bestselling Book by Michael Hyatt Your Podcast Guru Miracle Morning Website Miracle Morning Facebook Community Hal’s Miracle Morning Books Hal Elrod Website Hal on Twitter @HalElrod

May 1, 2008. Lawrenceville, Georgia. Millionaire real estate developer Hal Wenal returns home to discover that his 60-year old wife, Eva Kay Wenal, has been murdered. The only lead is an eyewitness sighting of a suspicious man in the neighbourhood around the time of Kay’s death. A newspaper soon receives an angry anonymous letter from someone who confesses to killing Kay because she wouldn’t leave her husband. When Hal passes away two years later, his family goes through his belongings and finds photographs of a man who bears a striking resemblance to the murder suspect. However, no one associated with the Wenals has any idea who this guy is. This week’s minisode of “The Trail Went Cold” explores the unsolved murder of Eva Kay Wenal, who may have unknowingly had her killer’s photo stashed away in her home. If you think you recognize the man in this composite sketch or any of these photographs, please contact the Gwinnett County Police tip line at (770) 513-5480.
