In Non-Compliant Episode 36, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff's attorney and Founder of Edelson PC, is joined by Tim Higgins, author of Power Play: Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet of the Century.To start the show, Jay and Tim discuss Tim's experience writing the book. When Tim started writing this story in 2018, he thought it would document the collapse of Tesla (2:00). At the time, Tesla was on the brink of bankruptcy, Elon Musk was having regular meltdowns in public, and there was a lot of question on whether the company could deliver the Model 3. As time passed, the story changed from the company's collapse, to one of the most remarkable turnarounds in a company's history. Later in the show, Jay and Tim discuss the connection between Tesla and Theranos (5:00). While both companies had founders running confidence games, unlike Elizabeth Holmes, Elon Musk had the technology early on to make the car battery work.Next, Jay and Tim discuss the fan base and loyalty Tesla has gained over the years (24:00), and the company's core philosophy (31:00).To end the show, Tim and Jay discuss Elon Musk's major motivations (35:00).

Eric Penn rejoins Tim Keirnan on the show for a critique of Garmin dash cameras. And on this show you know we bought them with our own money, no review units or other favors from the manufacturer. The guys discuss the following models: * nuviCam LMTHD that combines a GPS with a dash cam * Garmin 35 * Garmin 46 * Garmin Mini In both Eric's and Tim's critiques, Garmin customer support was a big positive to the customer experience. The products were useful and usable, without any outstanding problems. When Tim's nuviCam broke after only two years, Garmin customer support worked diligently to help him fix it. Even though it could not be fixed, having a company sincerely try to help solve a problem salvages a relationship and Tim would consider another Garmin purchase because the customer service. Our previous episode with customer service professional expert Charlotte Purvis rings true here. In Eric's case, his 35 broke under the warranty period and Garmin quickly replaced it. No fuss, no muss. Eric discusses using the Garmin 46 and Garmin Mini together to record both front and rear views in his FiestaST. Eric also talks about his use of Garmin products for cycling.

For sales reps that invest in social media, 64% hit their team quota—compared to only 49% of reps hitting their team quota that don't use social media (Source: superoffice.com). In today's episode, we are going to dive into the tectonic shift of social selling with Tim Hughes and explore 2 common social selling objections and mistakes. Tim Hughes is recognized by many as the world's leading pioneer of social selling, and he's currently ranked number one by Analytica as the most influential social selling person in the world. He's the co-founder and CEO of DLA ignite and co-author of the best-selling books Social Selling: Techniques to Influence Buyers and Changemakers and the book Smarketing: How to Achieve Competitive Advantage through Blended Sales and Marketing.  Common Social Selling Objections and Mistakes  Here are two of the most common objections people have to social selling, and how to overcome those objections.   “Our customers aren't on social media.”   One common objection is the belief system that customers aren't on social media. A specific 55-year-old finance director might not be on LinkedIn, but chances are most business people in the U.S. will be.  Tim is working with a company that sells supply chain software, and they told him there will be 100 people involved in the sale. Of those 100 people, there might be one person who isn't on social media.   “We're doing social already.”   When a company tells Tim they are doing social already, they are doing it tactically. They're posting once every two weeks. So, 13 of those 14 days they are invisible to their client. If their client only goes on social every few days, they're going to miss their post. If the client goes on social on a Tuesday, but the post is on Wednesdays, the client isn't going to see it. Tim sees social as totally transparent. He can see so many things that are going on in an organization from their page. Their page displays their organization's culture, their purpose, and how they value themselves, their team, and their customers.  It isn't enough to be on social anymore. Tim teaches his clients to be completely dominant, putting out their competition. Then when people search for that product or service, they are the only answer. That can be done through searching on social or searching through things like Google and Bing. “It's not about being on social anymore. It's about digital dominance.” -Tim Hughes How Tim Became an Expert on Social Selling  Starting with Stories In 2014, Tim was involved in a big sales transformation with a US software company. He was in a meeting when one of the individuals there said, “We always close at the end of the first meeting.” Tim told them they were going to go through a complete transformation of the way they sell.  Over two years, they taught 2,000 salespeople and 2,000 presales people about storytelling and opening presentations with a story. Opening with a story makes such a difference because they're selling something that's boring and complex. But, starting with a story really makes us more successful.  Tim's Book One day, Matt Reynolds contacted Tim on LinkedIn, and they ended up meeting for coffee. By the time they finished their coffee, Tim said, “Why don't we write a book?” Within three months, they had a book deal, and three months after that, the book came out. The book has now sold 5,500 copies. DLA Ignite Because of the success of that book, Tim was able to set up his own business, DLA ignites, which transforms companies using social selling. They started off building the social selling programs, which they now use, but their goal and vision were always to get businesses to use social media strategically. They strip out costs and make organizations more efficient, and he believes they are the only company in the world that does this.  There are people who do social selling, and there are lots of people who do LinkedIn training, but they don't do social selling the way Tim's company does. They treat it as a change program, using change management techniques as a method. What usually happens in training courses is the employees listen to the course, say it's really interesting, go back to their desks, and then do things the same way they were doing them before. That doesn't work with social. “To use social to sell, it's not what you know, it's what you do.” -Tim Hughes What Tim has to do with his students is invoke a mindset change and a habit change. Getting people to do the social selling is not difficult, but getting them to stop posting about their company or their products is. People are usually not passionate about companies, and they are often not passionate about products. We generally don't like or trust salespeople, and we avoid them. We spend time looking for things online so we don't want to go to a salesperson because they tend to try to manipulate us. However, Tim has developed a program in which they use psychology as a way to position their clients on social so people will walk towards them and actually see them as human. One of Tim's partners and resellers is a great example of this. Her profile draws people's attention and makes them want to meet her because she looks interesting. That is the transformation and difference between the way people are teaching social and the way they're teaching LinkedIn. It's a focus on people instead of a company or product. If we have 200 salespeople and scale that across our business, that's 200 salespeople that people want to talk to. Tim's business is not a full-service marketing agency. They focus on social selling, digital selling, virtual selling, or remote selling. They don't go into organizations and sort out sales compensation because they don't want to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. COVID-19's Impact on How We Do Business Here are a few of Tim's thoughts on how COVID-10 has impacted the way we do business: The Buying Process The buying process has changed, and it started to change before COVID. When Tim was first in sales, customers had to come to him to buy something from his company. There was no website or anything like that for them to purchase from.  Now we can go online and look at brochures, videos, reviews, and demos, and we can buy whatever we want without ever speaking to a salesperson. Five years ago, Tim was aware of somebody that made a $250,000 accountancy software purchase through watching YouTube videos. They called the salesperson and said, “I want to buy.” The salesperson said, “Don't you want to demo?” The person responded with, “No, I just want to buy it now.” COVID has accelerated this switch to online. For those who are in lockdown, they can't go outside very much, so they buy most things online.  The Vaccination's Impact COVID is also going to affect how we do business. We have to think about things like: will a customer want to meet with a salesperson who isn't vaccinated? Will a salesperson want to meet with a customer who's not vaccinated? Is the vaccine going to be required for us to go on a flight or on a cruise? Or to go to an industry convention? In-Person Meetings In the past, I never closed a big deal without a face-to-face meeting with someone. That was my philosophy, and I would always fly out for those big deals, or meet them at an event. I would invest face-to-face time into that relationship. I interviewed someone recently who took the opposite approach. She had almost no local business, lived in a small town, and almost 100% of her business was from all around the country. She never flew out and met any of her clients, and it worked just fine. She had a great business. Obviously, there is value in face-to-face, but if we leverage technology effectively, we can do it without an in-person visit. Tim has an associate who was hired during COVID, interviewed online, and has only ever been to the office once. He was living in London but wanted to move to Barcelona because all the work was online.  This kind of thing is more possible now than ever. Why shouldn't we live anywhere we want to? This is a huge tectonic shift. When I first started my business, video conferences and international phone calls were expensive. Now we can do those things for free, without any satellite delay. Key Takeaways Thank you so much Tim for sharing your stories and knowledge with us today. Here are some of my key takeaways from this episode: The majority of our customers these days will be on social media. If we think we are doing social already, we may want to examine how we are doing it to make sure we are reaching our ideal customers. Don't use the same messaging from ads, emails, or cold calls on social media. Social media messaging should be used to form organic relationships with customers. Consider opening presentations with stories to engage our audiences. People usually aren't super passionate about our companies or brands, but they care about how we can help them achieve the things they are passionate about. As we navigate a post-COVID world, we must consider how it will impact business and pivot to take advantage of those opportunities.

On episode 56 of The HR Famous Podcast, long-time HR leaders (and friends) Tim Sackett, Kris Dunn and Jessica Lee come together again to discuss Gen-X references, Zoom free Fridays, and White House staffers getting fired for marijuana use.  Listen below (click this link if you don’t see the player) and be sure to subscribe, rate, and review (Apple Podcasts) and follow (Spotify)! SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: 3:30 - Do you get upset when your Millenial and Gen-Z references don’t get your Gen-X references?  7:00 - First topic of the pod: Citi Group CEO has called for Zoom Free Fridays and a new bank holiday due to pandemic fatigue. JLee says she’d rather have Zoom calls instead of regular conference calls. 10:00 - KD says that Friday is not the best day to do Zoom free because Friday is already light on meetings. KD wants Zoom Free Thursday. What day do you think is best? 13:40 - When Tim thinks no meeting Fridays, he thinks “I’m going on vacation early” Fridays.  16:30 - A team in JLee’s office has a policy where if they do a traditional conference call, everyone on the team has to be doing something active during that call in order to promote wellness.  17:45 - Citi is doing a new holiday called ‘Citi Reset Day’. KD thinks that the new CEO is trying to win the approval of the bank’s employees 19:30 - Next topic: a few White House staffers were fired due to their usage of marijuana. Tim thinks it’s a little ridiculous for the White House to have a never done drugs policy for employees.  24:00  -  JLee thinks it’s impractical from a hiring perspective to expect all of your employees to not have a history with marijuana, especially when it’s legal in many places in the US now.  26:00 - KD thinks it's OK for people serving in the White House not to have backgrounds or positive tests with pot, but that it was sloppy on the Biden administration for not being completely transparent and upfront with their employees. 29:00 - KD’s son wants to work for a defense contractor and he’s been told not to go abroad to get that security clearance. So he won’t go! ---------------Jessica Lee, Kris Dunn and Tim Sackett Kinetix HRU Tech Jessica Lee on LinkedIn Tim Sackett on Linkedin Kris Dunn on LinkedIn The Tim Sackett Project The HR Capitalist Fistful of Talent Boss Leadership Training Series

The Faction Election War Won (26) (Audio) Vision: Trump's Hands Untied, Timothy Dixon 02/13/21 - Transcript by Barry Weeks Timothy’s youtube channel for the next several revelations https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpExguwC-moeDvtLMzw56kw God is bringing people out right now, that He’s had his hand on for a long time. God has prepared us for this season. God has prepared us for this time. I want to get into something tonight that the Lord has showed me; I’ve seen the hand of God… As I knelt down I went into a vision, and I was standing on the banks of a river. And I knew in my dream, I knew the river was the Jordan River. And the Jordan had started to rise. (The Jordan represents a baptism unto death to self before entering into the Promised Land.) And I looked, and there was a man that came up… The first time that I saw this particular man in my dreams was around 1988. I knew this man was the Lord. He told me some specific things that would take place in my life. And every one of them has come to pass over the next 18 years. Well, as I stood on the Jordan, the Lord came and stood beside me. And as we were looking at the Jordan I turned around and looked at Him, and He took me by the hand,  and we started walking through the United States. And it was like when He had your hand you could walk 2500 miles in five minutes. The first place we stopped was the state of Arizona. And there in Arizona I was standing at a doorway that He took me to, and He reached down with His hand, and He opened up the door, and He said, “Come and see.” And then I stepped inside, through the doorway, and there was a federal judge of Arizona there in an office. https://statesymbolsusa.org/symbol/arizona/state-name-origin/origin-arizona   "The Spanish called the area Arisona, Arissona or Arizona, based on native American word(s) translated as meaning "silver-bearing" or " place of the small spring.” David, Could this represent the place of the beginning of words, which are represented in James as a spring of words, )   And I turned and looked back at the Lord, and He pointed at the judge without saying anything. And as He pointed at the judge, who was sitting at the desk, the judge stood up, and as he stood, he got bigger and bigger, till he stood all the way through the roof of the building, and it just busted open. (The spring of words becomes a river)  When he did that, the Lord was still pointing at him, and I looked back, and the Lord said, “He is Mine.” Then I looked back outside, and I saw a woman. She had black hair about shoulder length, a middle-aged looking lady. She was wearing a blue dress.  (A democrat)  When I saw her face it changed, and then her hair wasn’t long anymore; it was cut, and a different color. (Hair is said to represent in 1 Cor.11, submission to the husband, who is the Lord. I.e., she lost her submission to him.)  God was showing me something by revelation. I saw that this lady had sold out, politically, to a group of people; I don’t know who they were.  But she’d gone inside another door, she’d opened it, and a little light shined in the entry, but inside was total darkness. Inside that room were 20 to 25 people. I didn’t know who they were, but they were people who had a lot of power. (The Illuminati satanist elite?)  They had such power that they could dominate and control from the dark, from a hidden place; they could control the political parts, and buy, payoff, etc. This lady made a political agreement and sold out, to better herself financially, when her hair was still long. And then in the dream her hair was cut. (No longer a servant of good, demon possessed, a servant of evil) Then she left the room, walked down a sidewalk, stopped at a restaurant, and three black S.U.V.’s in a row pulled up. One person got out and put handcuffs on her, and put her in the back of the S.U.V.  Then another person got out of the passenger side of that front S.U.V. and walked back to where people were standing by the second S.U.V., and handed five papers to a guy, which were judges orders to make arrests. (She gave up others to save herself as is happening commonly.  There is no honor among thieves and liars.)   But they were from a different agency or authority than the first one. The first one seemed to create a domino effect, so the other five arrest warrants could be handed out.  (And some of these will turn states evidence also.)  These were passed out to people in the second two S.U.V.’s, and they drove off. (To arrest the traitors who will become traitors of the traitors.) I had seen this taking place in different states, different parts of the United States. I saw people who had already been arrested. They were hidden inside a building.  They’d been locked up secretly. Some were made public, but some, people never knew about. (Some are hidden and some are sent out to act out their part to show the world that they do not want communism)  I saw a man’s death being hidden, and he was inside a freezer. (These are those for whom they have a clone or body double to act out their part.) Now I know what I’m saying sounds crazy, but I’ve learned to believe in what I see. I’ve watched it too much. I’m not one to get confused. I’ve been doing this a long time. (These things have been revealed to Timothy)  I know the voice of the Lord, and a stranger I will not follow. I know His voice; I know His voice. Trump’s coming back! They’re gonna go get the man; he’s gone, they’re gonna arrest him; all this is gonna go down… But I saw a piece where they had a man inside the freezer, that had died, and they wanted to keep it from the public, and they were lying about the death. It was all a big coverup. And this is where to me, it really gets good! I saw it going through North Carolina, Georgia, Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin, all up through the Northeast, Pennsylvania.  I can’t remember all the states. There were things happening that the eye couldn’t see. It was like some kind of holding cell. But there was some that were seen. The news was reporting different things. But it was almost like they were just disappearing, and people didn’t know where they were. (Its happening big time, Some are dying of Covid 19 they say… they say.) And then He grabbed my hand. We were sitting in Washington D.C. And this building was humongous. It looked like an old colonial type, a real tall building, outside just a real beautiful place, like a huge banquet hall. And inside there was a long table like a feast room for a king. When I walked inside and looked, it was filled—not a whole bunch of people, but a good amount of people sitting all around. But their attire was like in the Persian empire of Bible days. And I knew that I was looking at the kingdom at the time of Esther and Mordechai, and Haman was trying to destroy the Jews, (As a type of the Christians today) destroy Esther’s people. They’d changed the laws, and went around everything, tried to do everything they could do to destroy the people, Esther’s people. (Exactly as congress and the Judges have tried to do.) And the woman at the head of the table, on her forehead, was written, “Mystery Babylon”. This one woman, she sat at the head of the table and I knew who she was. (We suspect we know too, a type of the harlot Jezebel.) And there were several other people.  I saw 9 people who stood up who had different clothes, first 8, then another one, making 9 altogether. (Could be the Supreme Court with another hidden person spoken of later.)  These people had an agenda to take over the world. I knew this was the Persian Empire. And behind this table was a king’s chair. They had President Trump. He was sitting in the chair. They had stuck a sock in his mouth, they had chained both his hands, and chained his feet. They gagged him so he couldn’t talk, tied his hands so he couldn’t write, and put a chain around his feet. (In effect the Supreme Court did this.) And I looked and there were 8 different men, all dressed the same, in their Persian Empire clothes. But when these 8 stood up, they pulled off these clothes, and 7 of them had judge’s robes on. The other one had a suit on, with a red tie (The hidden man in another dream who stands with the right. Timothy knows this man but is not revealing his identity. He is a friend of the King.). Then one of the judges went over to President Trump, and he was looking for a king’s signet ring  (President Trump has not the sign of the Kings authority), but couldn’t find it on President Trump. But the man who had the suit and tie on pulled it out of his pocket and said, “I’ve got what you’re looking for”.  He has the key to show the Kings authority)  They asked him how long he’d had it, and he said, “I’ve had it since December”. (A time is coming to reveal this but for now the left must show who they are so the people will be inoculated in their mind against Communism) Then they started sitting down again, one by one, until four had sat down, leaving three standing. But one of the judges got back up, walked over, and untied the hands of President Trump. (One who voted against Trump will change his mind and throw the court his way?)  That one man, that appeared to definitely be a judge, his heart was moved by the Spirit of God. There was something that took place! That man, God had touched him! But there was a division; one went the other way; that left four and three.  There were 8, but one wasn’t a judge. He’s the one who stood up and had the ring. [Barry: This was hard to sort through the way he told it, but I think I’ve got it right.  It sounds to me like the one that stood tipped the scales positive for Trump: four judges to acquit, against three, and then the eighth man stood.]  And after that I could see the Lord again, standing at the doorway of where I went into this big place. (Also, in this place, alongside the walls were people from other countries around the world, different rulers, kings, etc.) (The whole world is watching to see who wins this election battle.  The world will rejoice in freedom when DT goes in.) All the laws were being changed there to tie Trump up in this place. But when I looked back, I saw that after he got his hands free, he took the gag and other stuff off that had bound him. (And so it will be.) Then as I walked back outside, the Lord grabbed my hand, and I looked and saw that in front of this building was a gallows. It was a hangman’s noose, and I knew that it was the same story where Haman built the gallows for Mordecai. (But died on it himself and so it will be with the DS rulers.)  The knowledge of it just flooded me. And how Esther had gone to the king because Haman had gone to the king and secretly planned a device to destroy all the Jews, Esther’s people. Then we started travelling back through these states I had seen, and everywhere I saw, there was a “Haman’s gallows” there! And at the end of it, the Lord told me this: “The people and the evil that has devised this, to destroy My people, they will hang from their own gallows—their own deceit, their own deceit will hang them on the gallows.” (AMEN!!!)    "The Whirlwind Blows” Timothy Dixon Prophecy - 2/27/21 - Transcribed by Brandy Arney Oh Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah! thus saith the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac the God of Jacob, the God of Israel.  I am the first and the last. I would speak into this nation I would speak to the world,  I’d have you to stir yourselves stir your hearts.   Wake up and look at this evil, the man of sin (The Judas’, the sons of perdition) that is trying to come across the country to take the very freedom of religion the very freedom of my spirit away and is trying to stop the revival. Trying to stop the move of this last day they are trying to change the laws and pass laws to do away with the word of God and to burn your bibles.  But know that I am the Lord and even as I have spoken in my servants you'll know in the next few days that I am God because I’ll shake the heavens and I’ll shake this land, I’ll shake Washington, I’ll shake the political the politicians, I’ll shake the congress, I’ll shake the senate, I’ll shake the house of representatives, those of you that have hidden your sins. You've hidden your pedophile and you've hidden the things of exploiting the children you think that you've got by with your sins and no one has mentioned your name but know that I am the Lord and I see the trouble I see the tears I see I see the cry that's going up in the country I see the blood that cries out even as Abel's blood cried out from the ground.  I’d have you to know the Lord speaks to this world and it speaks to America today the blood of the innocents crying out from the ground and you wish to change laws you wish to do away you wish to close the churches because you can't stand the power it's not the building and it's not the church it's not the people that you fight but it's my Spirit, saith the Lord, that you can't defeat.  You can't overcome it, you haven't any power to take control. You cannot suppress cannot push my word back but yet you try because of your ignorance  Oh ye leaders of this nation know that the handwriting is on the wall I’ve called you to repentance. I’ve called you and moved and dealt with your heart and times past but you've refused you've gone the way of hell you've chosen the riches of this world and your heart has become polluted but know that I’ll shake this globe one more time saith the Lord of hosts. (As Paul and Haggai also pronounced. Great earthquakes are coming and political upheaval too.)   I shall soon show that my hand is almighty.  There's been a famine in the land of the real power and the real move of God there's been a famine of my people of my prophets of them that are real.  Stand up in the word of God. Stand and speak and come to pass but knowing this hour that I have been.  I have servants; I have those handmaids that shall stand up in this day and shall do even as Elijah had declared and said, there'll be no rain until I say it can rain know that I’ll raise up in this hour and this day those that'll stand before these leaders and you'll declare the word of the Lord and it shall come to pass instantly saith God. (A real rain of the Spirit is coming to overcome the false revivals.) And many have wondered, “Why did you not move before the inauguration why didn't you move before Biden was put in?” Oh, my people in America, to expose the sin that's so deep within; would you have ever seen, would you ever seen the blood that's running off the hands of the individuals would you ever have seen the blood that runs in the streets, would you ever have heard the cries of the people? I’ve allowed to show this country that your heart would be turned by the knowledge that you see. I wanted you to see the evil this is not about a man or this is not about a race it's not about any black or white or red or the Philippines or the Asian or the European or the German people. This is about a move of God that's going to shake the globe; shake the world. I’ll stand up in this day and nothing shall hinder. I shall do miracles even as I’ve done. It shall come to pass saith the Lord of heaven that I’ll heal the broken bones.  I’ll create things that eyes has never seen soon saith the Lord. There will be great miracles in California that shall rock that state, saith the Lord, and once again the righteousness shall spring forth like a new spring of water and the flag of holiness shall once again blow and the evil the evil leaders that have kept it captive.     I’ll bring you down saith the Lord of hosts I’ll bring you down because I’ve seen the cries of the people of California.   But yet your leaders have brought it into a prison yard and you brought it into captivity and I’ve seen the hearts of the real; I’ve heard the cry of the real, and know that I shall send revival.       Oh, ye evil leaders of this United States, repent of your sins repent of your ways because just within a few days, even now, I work my hands, even as the word has gone out the spiritual whirlwind, it's coming.  I’ll send forth the spirit that shall cause you to be led into captivity but you say where and shall we be led into captivity.  Did I not leave Israel at one point because of their sins and I drove them into a land to be in captivity and they hung their hearts upon the willow trees?  And you wonder that I cannot move. I can move as I will but now my eyes have turned towards Israel my eyes are turned towards America because of the repentance the repentance that you prayed in your heart and know that I the Lord shall stand up against the evil that's in the white house. (Meaning the place of authority) I the Lord shall bring it to naught and you ask how can it be? how could it be when they took over? Even as Joshua and Caleb and they was wanting to take the lands and they looked and said there's giants in the land.  None of these things moves me saith the Lord I am the almighty; I can take the breath or give breath. You will see that my word has spoken through the servants that I have chosen this hour.  You'll know that I have the power saith the Lord to shut up the heavens; I can bring plagues even as I did in the days of Egypt from Moses. I am the Lord. (The vaccines are causing the coming plagues.)  I’ll reveal the false prophets, I’ll reveal them that's not real saith the Lord.   This is the hour of deliverance, the hour of great visitation, I’ll visit you leaders of this country.  Know that in your bed chambers I’m coming to you, Oh I’m coming to you saith the Lord.  Because you've chosen to go against my word, you have chosen evil over good, you've chosen unrighteousness over righteousness and you wish to enslave my people, you wish to take away the word and know that everything shall pass away but my word shall stand forever.  Lift up your voice like a trumpet! lift up your hands to the Lord almighty because it shall be even as I have spoken!  I will return the one that I have chosen, you can mock and you can say things you choose and chose if you want, but I have chosen the man Donald Trump even from years past the bloodline. I the Lord a prophecy came forth of his life of years ago. Oh my word came out.  The word came upon his mother from a distant land saith the Lord. (The New Hebrides revival) The word, and that spirit followed the man through his time that's why his heart changed like it did when he was in office. You saw a transformation in Donald Trump's heart he became even more loving and more kind but a man of strength. Know that I chose David a man after my own heart but yet they criticized, said all manner of evil against him but I still stood with David and I’ll stand with this man, and he shall prevail and shall come even as I have spoken I shall drive back this evil that is trying to take this country that has pushed their way up inside the leadership and the laws. Know that I shall collapse it saith the Lord.  I’ll bring it to pass that it shall be so Donald Trump shall be, he shall be the reigning President and he is. For thine eyes do not see that I am doing this but know that the whirlwind blows now saith the Lord of hosts. Lift up your eyes and lift up your hands and lift up your voice and pray and cry to me with all your heart for this is the day. Not many days since you'll see the hand of God move even as it did in the time of pharaoh when I stretched out the rod and blood and locust and evil come upon the loud Egyptians. Death came upon the firstborn but know that those that the blood was applied to their post that death passed by. There was no plagues in Goshen because I’ve kept my hands upon my seed saith the Lord of hosts. This is the hour that you'll see that I am the Lord and that I have chosen men for this generation. It is not time; it shall not be now. I’ll hold this evil off and you'll see and you'll rejoice shortly saith the Lord.  Within just a short time, few days, few times. Oh the year the time the day of jubilee. (Freedom from slavery and debt.)  Oh a great celebration because you've overcome the evil in something that you thought never would be. (The satanic DS)  Satan has no power, it shall be and you've wondered “Does anyone even know the things?” And I’ve heard the voices of those that are my people; I’ve heard the voices of my ministers that have even asked and said that it is crazy, crazy to think such a thing. But I would speak to this country!  I would speak to America, know that you'll see that I am God!  That I can do anything and that I’ll put Donald Trump back saith the Lord. I’ll uproot now saith the Lord; the ax is laid to the root of the tree!  The storm's coming! the whirlwind blows! the whirlwind blows! saith the Lord of heaven saith the Lord of heaven!   Within 30 Days the Lord Will Shake Politics Timothy Dixon - 2/23/21 (Transcribed by Brandy Arney) (Note: I have to be careful of this.  When does the 30 days start? When Tim had the revelation on the 23rd? or 30 days in March? I suspect from the 23rd.) …The Lord came to me last night and told me to speak this, tell it to America, tell it to the world tell it to the leaders of this country. From the first chapter of Proverbs in the 24th verse, “Because I have called and ye refused I’ve stretched out my hand and no man regarding but you have set at naught all my council and would none of my reproof, I also will laugh at your calamity and I will mock you when your fear comes when your fear cometh as a desolation and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind when distress and anguish cometh upon you then shall they call me but I will not answer and shall they call me call upon me but I won't answer because you wouldn't listen you wouldn't listen to the Lord then he said for that they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord they would none of my counsel they despised all my reproof therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way and be filled with their own devices” You know he told Noah, “My spirit will not always strive with man.”  He told Noah to go out and build an ark and at that point it didn't rain out of the heavens and people thought that he'd lost his mind. Over 120 years Noah built a big ship to float on water till the time came one day that God in the bible said, He shut the door and it started raining then everything that man said up to that point, oh it was so remembered then. God has given everyone a chance across this nation and once again. God's revival power is gonna ring across the world and give everyone a chance to repent and pray. But the Lord told me last night to tell the people, tell America, tell them thus saith the Lord of heaven, that the whirlwind that was in my dreams comes.  (If you go back and look at the dream about the whirlwind and the man with the staff on the and the seven rabbis on the porch and the woman in purple dress and the donkeys dies and if you go back and look at that it talks about a whirlwind hitting that capitol and there was nothing left inside the capitol and the people were gone) The Lord told me to tell you that in 30 days, within the 30-day period here, God is fixing to shake the leaders of this country. God is going to shake the leaders of the foreign countries that's come against the very liberty of the name of Jesus. You're not fighting against preachers, you've made fun of the prophets and you've laughed to scorn people and you look at people like me and you think it's some gimmick, he's out for money or he's out to build him something,  I’m not out for money I don't ask for money. I’m out to deliver a word to this nation I’m out to try to snatch someone from hell before it's too late. God is gonna put president Donald Trump back inside that office. There's an angel of death that's going to strike. I know one of the leaders that's way up there who will pass with a heart attack. God's coming you know… God's grace is for every man his mercy is beyond compare. He'll reach out to anyone that'll just reach out to him but there comes a time that when you fight God and that you think that your evil is going to overcome. God's gonna fight you and this is what the Lord has told me. He spoke this to me and this was not a dream.  That is why I’m so boldly telling you that within 30 days; within the 30-day time, fear. God's gonna rattle the structure of politics, God's gonna visit people, that storm thats twirling is coming, it's gonna blow up in there the Lord is fixing to dissolve some of the people; I see it. Just look back at the dream and when the whirlwind went in there some of the people were snatched out by the whirlwind and that's what's fixing to come. You're fixing to see the hands of God in a way that you've never seen. This is not about me it's not about the men of God or the prophets or the people that is standing in this hour. But the word that I speak to you today is the word from the Lord Jesus; it's time for us to stand and fight like we've never fought for revival in the greatest sense that we've ever beheld in our eyes!  It's gonna shake this globe. (Let us pray and do spiritual warfare against demonic forces for this revival.) I’ve heard the people talking, different preachers talking about that how the natural is going on and the supreme court is denied and this and that. Brother I don't look at the power of the supreme court for the Lord said that he was going to turn the tables and that's exactly what he's going to do in the next few days, next month.  God's going to show his hand and the beginning of a cleansing has begun. We'll see God's hand. I’m here to tell you thus saith the Lord and what he spoke. After the 30 days I don't know what's liable to happen but Donald Trump will be the president of the United States again. He will be put back in office. They'll betray Kamala Harris and she already sees it and she'll turn on them because they've turned on her. A great chaos and a great storm, it's coming says the Lord of hosts! You know God can do things that are totally impossible for man!  He told Gideon that he wanted him to tell them that were fearful and afraid to go home. Well there were a bunch of them that went home that day before he had to go fight ... The Lord told him there's still too many! take them down to the river, the ones that lap like a dog when they drink water keep those and send the rest away. There weren’t but 300 left that day. Gideon said “Lord why did you do this?” and He said basically, I’ve narrowed it down to an impossibility.  There's no way that 300 could beat that army… And the Lord told Gideon, I don't want them to think that they've done it on their own and that's what God's doing right now.   45th President Honors the Constitution Timothy Dixon’s Dream of 2/20/21 - transcript by Terri McGinley I want to share a dream with you today and some things the Lord is speaking by the Spirit. You know, Paul was talking about how the Spirit speaks expressly, meaning more than once. The Lord has spoken to me strongly about the actions of the Supreme Court. This is Saturday the 20th of February. The Lord told me to tell everyone: Do not trust in the power of the Supreme Court because that isn’t how God is going to divinely move for President Trump. This is going to be a pure act of God.  And God can use people. I’m not saying He won’t use people. I do believe there’s a couple of people inside, according to what God is showing me. God is going to touch people inside there that we thought bad of. And I’m not one here to argue what’s proof and what isn’t. But God can use who He will. And you look at Nebuchadnezzar in the Bible, I believe somewhere around the 38th chapter of Ezekiel, maybe. You’ll find that the Lord blessed Nebuchadnezzar and gave him the lands of Egypt because the Lord said His army had bald heads and worn shoulders but He said “they worked a great work for Me.” We see in other places that He was calling, in that time, Nebuchadnezzar, His servant. I want to get into this dream here. My heart is burdened, so burdened. I see something happening in the Spirit of God right now as we speak. Jesus talked about a marriage supper that the king had invited some to come, but they made excuses and made of it lightly. So the Bible says that he went out to the highways and to the hedges and got the good and the bad and filled His house.  It scares me that some of you preachers…you know, the Bible says that you know a lot and will be beaten with many stripes. Some of you ministers, you’ve backed up, and I’m talking about on things that you know you shouldn’t back up on. You backed up on the Lord. You went the way of money, you went the way of everything else, but you’ve not stood for the Word. You’ve not stood for the Lord and we’re in a time now that you’re going to get into this or you’re going to be cast out and the Lord is going to find some dope addict out here and save them. He’s going to find somebody that doesn’t match up to all of our church credential standards and He’s going to save them and step right over all us “great righteous people.” But the dream, I’m so stirred. I saw an altar. And, once again, the dreams and the visions and the speaking that God keeps speaking to is about Washington. It’s about the capital. And that’s the ones I’m choosing to share at the moment. But inside this, I saw the Capital building again. I saw the patio, you know, that’s out front. I saw on the patio, there was an old sacrificial altar from like in the Old Testament times. I looked, and it was on fire. It was the burnt offering, the sacrifice on the altar, and it was centered before you reached the doors of the Capital building. It was centered and it was just sitting there, just beautiful.  And there was a lamb on that altar that had been prepared and was without spot. And in front, on the other side, towards the building, on the altar, there was a table and it had a covering all the way around the table. It kind of looked, that particular minute, to me, like it was just something to dress it up. It looked pretty, it looked nice. And there was a big, big paper on it and it was the Constitution.  Yet there were not any signatures on this Constitution. And, looking on back beyond the table, there were 45 men lined up in a row, and those 45 men…45, not 46, were past presidents of the United States.  On each side of the altar, I saw two angels … but these particular angels were different than anything I had ever seen. They were big and muscular and they were just fierce-looking guardians. And in their hands, they had a sword. The sword looked like it had been in the furnace fire, like an iron mill, and it had been heated up to where the blade was glowing red, just so hot, and it was flickering and flames were coming off the swords. Each one stood on each side. They were massive. And I knew these angels had an authority that was different and beyond most angels that I’ve seen that have warred in heaven and different visions. But these angels, I’ll just say, had a power and they had a particular service that they were assigned to do, and that was to protect.  Now listen to me close. They were there to protect…(As if you made the child that they were trying to destroy), they were there to protect the Word, they were there to protect the Spirit, the Word of God. They were there to protect that Spirit of Life which only came through God’s Word, which the Bible, and is inspired, and I believe the Constitution was too, at that time. But they were there for that. They could move around. It wasn’t like they stood still or were hovering in place, but they could move extremely fast, like a flicker of a flame. A flame, when it burns, it moves around so fast that you can’t catch it. You know, they could move just like that and turn any kind of way they wanted to turn with their swords in their hands.  The first man that stood at this big table and before the altars of the sacrifice was George Washington. And there were a few men right in close with him. They all kind of huddled around this table and each one had a really unique-looking pen. All of them used the pen and they were signing this big, big Constitution. They were signing this, just a few people right in the presidency. And I looked, after it was signed, I saw these two huge angels, their movement was just like they were observing to protect the standard or the spirit that was behind that standard of the freedom of religion, the freedom of constitution, the freedom of what America stands for, and that’s Jesus Christ, in God we trust.  And I saw, and I looked back down in the line, and I saw one of the presidents had stepped out of the line, and it was Richard Nixon. He stepped out of the line of the presidents and he looked up at the altar and I know he was thinking that “If I can get around that, if I can just remove the power that has over the people, I’ll be first, I’ll be the head, I’ll be the top dog.” And from him, there were a couple of them in front of him, they all moved out and they started striving with each other. At this particular point…there wasn’t any fist-slinging and people beating on each other, but they were just pulling and tussling and fighting.  And one would break out and come to the table and they had that pen and they were signing different orders to change it…and they would throw it in the altar and their order would just be consumed with the fire. And it just kept on like this, just such a tussle, such a fight. Let me say, not a fight, but a warfare going on inside this line of presidents.  And I looked in the back and President Trump (the 45th) was the last one in the back of the line and he was just standing there and he was observing these men in front of him, tussling, to sign these papers that were being thrown at the altar of the Lamb. Now, that was the daily sacrifice. There was one in the morning, there was a sacrifice of lamb in the morning and one in the evening under the Old Law. And we know that Jesus Christ is that ultimate sacrifice, our daily sacrifice, our daily life, Christ inside you. But they were tussling and then I saw that as they did, they were trying to shadow and move that altar, the presence of it. The presidents that were in the front, George Washington and so forth, they were standing silent and I knew that they were past presidents, they were passed away.   The ones behind them, from Nixon on back, started tussling to remove that standard, to remove that altar, to remove that authority, to remove that power that they could dominate with what their personal agenda was. Now, and as they did, I knew that they were trying to take away the freedom. They were trying to take away and set up something that would stop the power of this sacrifice, the power of the redemption of Jesus Christ, the power of our speech that God gave us, to be able to say, “Lord, I love you.” But they didn’t want that. There was a tussle to pass laws and that’s what seemed to really be going on here. It was a great tussle. And I saw that they were setting up a place where they could remove it totally. And these angels started moving around and they stopped and both of them held the swords real high and said, “No. No, it’s not time.” Hallelujah. “It’s not time.” (This means there will be a time when they will cast aside the constitution.)  And then I saw that President Trump came from the back and as he stepped out, trying to go towards the front, towards the altar, he was advancing and just a few of them started using their fists to hit him and push him and fight him and do everything that they could do. (The past DS presidents have warred against him and the constitution.)  And as they tussled, it’s like he went down on his back and he began to push with his legs, crawling on the ground. And through the hustle and bustle, it’s like he snuck right up under everything and went up to the front and George Washington shook his hand and said, “Well done.”  He gave him a pen and at this point, that was the pen that everybody was using to try to…with these signed papers, to overthrow them, with this, that and the other. Well, he did away with the pen.  And I thought, “Where’s the pen? Where’s the unique pen?” And I thought maybe it just went inside the fire. And as this went around, I saw him continually trying to stop a power. It wasn’t the man, Donald Trump, but it was a power that even George Washington had established by the Spirit of God and they were trying to destroy that but these angels said, “No, its not time, not yet.”  And it’s like when the angels lifted up again and it’s like, I don’t understand sometimes some things, but I’m just giving this dream out fresh and a lot of times the Lord will come back to me and the Lord will give me the meaning of certain particular parts of it, but they turned into like a statue, like a stone, like a pillar. (Like Lots wife who turned back to Sodom and became a pillar of salt.) But it was white and it was just frozen, stiff, solid right there and then they just dissolved and they weren’t there anymore.  And that’s when George Washington grabbed his hand and said, “Well done.” And they started looking for the pen because there was a paper there that had a presidential seal and it said, “Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States.” And it had a place where he had to sign in the presence of George Washington. George Washington raised up the curtain that was around this table and here was a man up under that table. (Who has been in hiding)  And at this point, the Lord has directed me not to tell because of certain circumstances, do not tell who the man was. But it was the same man that had the Kings ring, if you remember in one of my other dreams. This man said, “I’ve got it.” And when the judge asked, “How did you get it?” he said, “I’ve always had it since Trump left, or the king had left.”  And he raised it and smiled real big at President Trump and he stuck the pen out and gave him that pen.  And I knew that this was a hidden plan, it was hidden from the view of the people, it was hidden very well. It was disguised but it was a great thing that God gave wisdom to do, church. Oh man, I’m excited about Jesus and what He’s doing. And then after this, he signed the paper, and when he did, something happened. And I saw…at that point, there was an authority, there was a power that was like reinstated, the authority was already there, but it was being reenacted. I don’t know which word to use, but it was giving authority to President Trump as the president. I believe what God shows me. It’s against everything that is seen. I’ve got preachers calling me. “You need to stop this, brother, this is insane.” No, this isn’t insane. This is the Word of the Lord. This is the Thus sayeth the Holy One of Israel.  Because if we cannot believe in something that God speaks to us, how can we say that God could have taken the children of Israel and set them before a sea and said, “I’ll move the Red Sea.” He could have sent them up around the top of the land. He didn’t have to send them across the Red Sea. He didn’t have to rain food down inside the desert, He could have brought some more mules and wagons to help feed them or call somebody to come out across the desert and be some great natural thing, you know, that God wouldn’t get the credit. But God allowed them to be…why did Jesus wait and let Lazarus die and stink and be buried before He decides to show up and pray for the man? Because God chooses these things…. Children of America, if God would not have allowed this to be exactly like it is, we would not see the evil, America would still be asleep, we’d still be up under the hands of Pharaoh, but God has chosen this time to send out the Prince that was raised up under the hand of Pharaoh. God has chosen His time to send Moses out into a desert land, that on top of that mountain he’ll find a God that speaks to him out of a flaming bush and tells him to go down to Egypt. I AM hath come down. I have heard the cry of My people. I have heard them by reason of their taskmasters. God, today, children of God, in America, God has heard the prayer of America.  God’s going to shake this world one more time. God’s going to shake the country. By the power of the Almighty God. And when all this began here, I looked down and I saw a commotion after the power was being restored. Like I said, I’ve got people calling me. You don’t have to believe what I’m saying, but you’ll see that God has spoken this Word. God’s going to put him back in there, hallelujah, I believe before July 4. (Or possibly April 1st)  I saw a piece in a dream. I want to share this little piece of why I mentioned July 4. I saw something happen July 4 that was just crazy. I saw an Independence Day being rejoiced all over the world. (Freedom from the DS criminal overlords.). Hallelujah. I saw a rejoicing. And what could that mean? I’m still praying on that one. But there’s a little bit that’s just fresh off the Holy Ghost.  I saw the 4th of July. But then I looked down in this dream and I saw a horse starting to ride. (The white horse rider begins the tribulation)  I saw a white horse and it was coming. God have mercy, it was moving across the world. And I saw it like a flame. It made a loop all the way around the world a couple of times and it crossed and it went back the other way and started just circling until it had just criss-crossed the whole globe. (The judgments and revival of Jesus in the Man-child White Horse rider.) Criss-crossed the whole world, this white horse. And a man was riding and he had a Bible in his hand... He had like the leather casing, and he was holding it up like that and he began to ride and the pages began to blow and the pages began to go out everywhere and people were picking up the pages and were reading it. It was the Word of God, it was the Gospel. Oh hallelujah! Thank You, Jesus.  God is true. God will not be mocked. God is going to do this. The power of God’s going to stand up and show people that God is God. If you don’t know Jesus Christ, I’m asking you to get down by your bed. If you’re riding in your automobile, I’m asking you to ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins. Ask Him, “Lead me Lord into this fold. Lead me into this last harvest call. Lead me.” I want to warn you this morning. There’s coming some troubled times in the middle of this revival. I don’t want you to be frightened and have a fear. God is able to let your shoes grow on your feet as you walk around in the wilderness. Their shoes grew on their feet. That’s the kind of God that I’m talking about showing up and establishing President Trump back inside of his place that’s already his place. And God’s going to clean out. (Drain the swamp) That’s how it’s going to be, just as easy as when God wiped out all of the Egyptians, all at one time. God is able. Now, who would have ever thought that such a massive great, great army would ever fall and be drowned? That’s crazy! Hallelujah.  For the next 30 days, the next 30 days is going to be a time of rejoicing. We are reaching, we are stepping towards what God is doing. We are coming to the final and closing chapter. We are coming up to the time that we’re going to lift up our hands and have a march of victory because God has chosen it to be this way. He said “It’s not time.” And it ain’t time. There will be a day, church. There will be a day, children. There will be a day, America, when you’ll read in the book of Revelation and all the books of the Bible, you’ll find out that it’s all coming to pass. Hallelujah.  God’s going to judge some of these people. The last thing that God ever wants is to do this to people. He gives you a time, and He calls you and He keeps on and He calls you and preaches to you, but you won’t answer. I remember hearing a message when Jack Coe preached about how God is going to burn your barley fields. And he talked about how that the king had called and nobody would come, and he said, He kept calling and they still wouldn’t come and He said, “Go set fire to his fields and he’ll come then.” Sometimes God’s only choice is to set a fire inside your field. But let me tell you something. You might think, “Oh, that’s awful.” No, that’s the greatest mercy of God that you could ever be extended. It’s the greatest, greatest mercy. Jesus said, “If your eye offends you, pluck it out.” It’s better that you enter into life maimed, that your whole body won’t be cast into hell, but you’ll be going to heaven. It’s the greatest gift of God. It’s the greatest mercy. It’s just that so many times, we don’t understand that.  But these next few days, I see trouble for the wicked. I see trouble for them shed innocent blood. God’s going to judge them. God is not a man that He would lie. Jesus preached about hell more than any man that you could read of inside the Scriptures. He told the very ones that knew the Law of Moses. He said, “You hypocrites.” He said, “How shall you escape the damnation of hell,” because of the things they were teaching and telling the people. But the Lord’s going to reign. God’s going to move. There’ll be a revival.  I see a revival breaking out there in California. Not just California, but all over the United States, because God has chosen such a time as this. God’s going to put Donald Trump back inside the office. Church, I need somebody out there to help me fight this fight, help me stand up, and be one of the soldiers that gets down upon your knees and says, “God, I rebuke the denier, I stand up against you, Satan. You have no power.” The Lord has given me authority. He said that anything that I ask, that if I believe and doubt not, I would have it. That’s what He said. And we are the ones that hold the line. We are the ones that they’re trying to destroy. They can do away with the law, they can change the laws of the land, they can stack the Supreme Court, but they can’t change the power of an Almighty God. They can’t do anything with the power of something they have no control over. I pray that God blesses you. I feel the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. Jesus is coming. Get yourself ready. Get yourself ready for the end of time. Get yourself ready for revival. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray that God blesses everyone, that the Spirit of God goes out and answers every prayer. God is going to give a chance back to this country. Don’t go back to the things you used to do and be so caught up with trying to get something in this life. Let’s look for the treasure that’s in heaven. We’re running out of time.  Our time is just getting nearer. Hallelujah. God bless you. I love every one of you. My heart goes out to everyone. I pray for all the men of God that’s holding this line. I pray for all the men of God out here. I pray for all of them that are doing such a great service. I want all of you men of God to know that I’m your servant. I pray for all you that’s criticizing me. I pray that you that don’t believe, I’m asking you, just watch. Open your heart. If you don’t believe, that’s okay for now. We’ve been in a place where it’s hard for people to believe anything because people have been so false and quickly critical and self-centered. God’s going to move. It’s going to come to pass. God has spoken it. Nothing, nothing, nothing in this world can stop it when God’s plan starts moving. And we’ve not seen God moving around and doing what He’s fixing to do. But stand with me, stand with the men of God, stand with the apostles. We will prevail. Donald Trump will prevail. God’s going to see to it, in the Name of Jesus Christ. God bless you! Trump Returns Norman Strunk - 3rd week in December 2020 I had a strange dream about the 3rd week in December. In the dream I was watching myself and Donald Trump visiting together in a large white room. In the dream I was very comfortable with him because I knew he was my brother-in-law. I then woke up and thought to myself, why would I have such a dream?  (I think he will get saved,  You and his wife are brother and sister so he is your brother in law. But he is going to get saved and filled with the Holy Spirit too.) Then again 3 weeks later I had the following dream. In this dream I was looking down at Donald Trump the president playing with his family in a deep large river. He was standing to my right near the edge of a large waterfall with his family up river from him to my left. I had a thought in my dream that his family was possibly the American people. I then watched him get swept over the deep falls and disappear under the water down below. (He is much out of sight now and wicked have piled on him.) I did not see him surface till later while I again observed him from above the left bank of the river. (The left bank could represent that you are over the leftists.)  I watched as he surfaced in the river and tried to grab onto a piece of land that extended out over the water. As he did so the land was quickly removed by some wealthy people who did not want him to get out of the river. (They did not want the left bank to be under his feet.) This again happened a second time. (The Supreme Court rejections of the vote scam evidence?) I then found myself further downriver, over the water looking down at my daughter standing in a boat on the right bank of the river. She was looking up river with a big smile on her face. I then heard someone up-river on the same bank holler out "If you hurry you will see the President {Donald Trump} crossing the river. “ (I believe it means resurrection life will be given him to stand up and return.  PTL! ) “Trump Will Be Back” Barry Klinke -1/24/21 I had a conversation with the Lord this morning at about 4:30am. It went like this: He said, "Don't believe what you see with your eyes”.  (Walk by faith not sight) OK, Lord, what else? "Trump”.  OK, Lord, what about Trump?  "Trump will be back". I had a dream the same day. I dreamed I was approaching the grocery store where we have shopped for 16+ years. As I got close, I saw that the letters spelling out the store name on the front of the store were gone. I was shocked and wondered, have they gone out of business, are they closed? Where will I shop for groceries? (He is not gone. His name will have authority) I parked and went to the door. It was open. To my surprise, the store was open. I discovered that, in order to paint the front of the building, they had to remove the letters, making it appear as though the store had closed. This dream fits together with the first thing the Lord told me early this morning, “Don’t believe what you see with your eyes”.  I have been telling people about how they are wasting time listening to all the "latest hot scoop" on the fraudulent, stolen election and how it might be returned to Donald Trump. Your (David’s) message today said exactly the same thing. People are looking to man instead of God for answers. If we have faith, we will be at peace, despite the reckless and foolish things Biden is doing.

On today’s episode of Rock the Podcast, Jess speaks with Interview Connections client Tim James! Tim is one of those guys that will leave you feeling younger and more energetic just by hearing him speak.  After suffering from multiple health issues, including chronic acid indigestion and surgery to remove one of his organs due to serious digestive issues, Tim knew something had to change. But it was only after watching his closest ones die of cancer and the untimely death of his younger brother that he finally decided to take action. Tim’s journey led him to a shocking discovery that helped his friend beat cancer and transform every area of his life.  Feeling charged with a duty to help others he started sharing his knowledge with anyone that would listen. This led him to produce his own chemical-free food products. Chemical Free Body was born. Tim’s inbox is constantly flooded with people singing and dancing about how his products have given them a life they couldn’t believe was possible. His story will have you laughing, crying, and gasping but most importantly he will give you the recipe to a longer, happier, and healthier life! Since Tim owns a product-based business, Jessica asked him why he chose podcasting to promote his business and increase his visibility. With products, many other entrepreneurs will choose more direct advertising. “Why are you passionate about going on interviews to tell your story and educate the market?” Tim had been selling mostly over the phone. He built his business over the phone, but then the Covid pandemic shut everything down. Tim didn’t really have any tech skills and had previously invested money with the wrong people. But, Tim had been invited on some podcasts. Every time he went on a podcast, he saw that some sales would trickle in, however, Tim never really put a lot of thought into podcasts.  Tim decided to call up a friend to get on some podcasts. He guested on three shows and did an enormous amount of sales. Tim thought, “This could save me.”  Within a few months of podcast guesting, Tim tripled his sales. Once Tim began working with us here at Interview Connections, he created half a million dollars in sales. Tim loves podcast guesting because he gets to do what he does best: tell his unfiltered story and educate people. Podcast guesting is simplifying the business for Tim, so he feels like he is getting his life back while still expanding his business!  For Tim, podcast guesting is a no brainer. As a guest, you just get to show up on someone else’s podcast, who has put in all this work to establish trust and build an audience. Tim explains that it’s like getting in front of a stadium of people and having their attention for an hour It’s a fantastic organic marketing strategy --no ads necessary-- and it’s just your unfiltered story doing the selling for you. Tim also points out that these podcast hosts need good content! They need good guests or they don’t have a show. If you’ve got a story (and really, don’t we all?) Tim recommends that you get really good at telling your story. When Tim really started focusing on podcast guesting, he doubled his business. Jessica asks Tim to expand on what kind of shows are giving him those amazing results.  Podcast guesting was uncharted water for Tim. He just tried to get on as many different types of shows as he could. Tim would also track sales from podcast interviews by giving out a unique discount code on episodes, and tracking if that code was used. This would allow Tim to see exactly what podcasts were creating momentum for him. Tim was interested in reaching audiences that he could relate to, and offer solutions to. These audiences excised in a variety of shows, so Tim went on a large number of different shows! Tim tracked his results and had a clear understanding of his client avatar, which was incredibly valuable for his podcast guesting strategy. Tim understands who wants and needs his product, and understands his ideal client’s mindset. If you’re thinking about doing a show, you have a great message but you are scared about how you are going to share it, Tim explains that you’re really getting in your own way. A friend of Tim’s paid $25,000 for a coaching program, and the first piece of advice the coach gave was to go live every single day.  A lot of people would respond, “I don’t have my message yet, it’s not perfect!” Tim explains that the first 45-75 lives are not for the audience, they are for you to find your message and to refine your message! You will find your message and you will start getting comfortable sharing it. The best way to hone your message is to start going live, hire a booking agency to get you on podcasts, and just go on the shows. You don’t have to be an ad expert, you don’t have to know how to build a website. You just have to have a message and a way to connect with those people who resonate with your message. You just have to be really good at telling your story! If you’re saying, “I really want to do this, but I’m not ready. I don’t have my message right.” Tim argues that you just have to start! You can connect with Tim at Chemicalfreebody.com and listeners can also use discount code “IC” at checkout!

What can employers do to protect staff who work in the outdoors? In today's podcast, Sarah explores some answers to that question with Tim Tchida, Owner and CEO of Summit Reforestation in Smithers BC. When Tim first heard about Lyme disease, he never imagined getting the disease himself. Tim recalls first learning he had Lyme disease after receiving a positive Canadian Lyme test (western blot) following mild symptoms of the disease. As time went on, he realized how fortunate he was to receive a diagnosis in light of so many others who have found it very challenging to receive a Lyme diagnosis in Canada. Tim acknowledges those who may go for years or even decades, seeing multiple physicians simply to receive a correct diagnosis. He believes that international labs such as Armin lab in Germany, are able to provide more accurate and appropriate testing. Unfortunately, Tim soon came to realize that many physicians did not acknowledge how serious Lyme disease and co-infections can be. As a consequence, he was unable to receive adequate treatment in Canada, and sought treatment in both the United States and Germany, which to date has cost him over $300,000.00. Although grateful to have the resources to seek treatment outside of the public health system, he points out that many people are unable to do so. Read the rest of the show notes

Tim Brown is a retired, decorated 20-year FDNY firefighter, a survivor of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, a first responder to the 1993 attack on the WTC and a veteran of the New York Urban Search & Rescue Task Force team that responded to the 1995 attack on the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City. Tim lost 93 of his friends on Sept. 11th, including his two best friends. When Tim shared his experiences on the ground during the 9/11 attacks on the WTC… you stop breathing because It really makes you understand the real human experience of that day and the effect it still has on survivors like Tim almost 20 years later.

Startups exist to develop new solutions to problems. But many of society's biggest problems fall outside traditional startup business models. Today we explore why that is, and how it might be changed as we sit down with Robin Lewis, co-founder of Mymizu, a startup focused on reducing plastic waste by encouraging reuse. We take a deep dive into possible monetization strategies, why startups should be better at solving social problems than non-profits, and we discuss a possible roadmap for a middle path between startups and non-profits. It's a great conversation, and I think you'll enjoy it. Show Notes The Japanese middle-ground between NGOs and for-profit startups The hidden strategy behind beach cleanup programs Mymizu’s current business model The challenge of mixing environmental and social sustainability When Tim became “The Destroyer of Dreams” The unexpected (positive ) impacts of COVID-19 Why startups  should be able to do more social good than NGOs How bottled water breaks economic theory What happened to Japanese water fountains One common recycling scam in Japan A roadmap for the middle path between NGO and startup   Links from the Founder Everything you ever wanted to know about Mymizu Follow Mymizu on Instagram Check out Robin's personal home page Follow his blog on social sustainability Follow him on Twitter @robintlewis Connect with him on LinkedIn More about sustainability in Japan 7 Surprising Facts About Plastic in Japan Sanpo Yoshi: the Japanese business principle of success through responsibility 25 Opportunities For Volunteering and Social Good in Japan Milton Friedman's landmark NYT article on corporate responsibility Leave a comment Transcript Welcome to Disrupting Japan, straight talk from Japan’s most successful entrepreneurs. I’m Tim Romero and thanks for joining me. Water, it’s one of the most common molecules in the universe and you personally are made up of about 60% water. There are a number of significant problems today that revolve around water but water is rarely the focus for startups, and today, we’re going to explore why that is and why that might be changing. Today, we sit down in a properly socially distanced matter and talk with Robin Lewis, co-founder of Mymizu. The Mymizu app enables you to find places to refill your water bottles all over Japan, and the company itself exists in a very interesting space between nonprofit and a regular for profit company. Robin and his team are already making an impact in Japan, and we have a deep dive into how startups can be a force to achieve meaningful social change. The challenges of balancing the need for revenues with staying true to your social mission, and we brainstorm about possible monetization strategies that could enable that, and also, you’ll learn something that will probably really piss you off about how recycling is done in Japan. But you know, Robin tells that story much better than I can, so let’s get right to the interview. Interview Tim: So I’m sitting here with Robin Lewis, the co-founder of Mymizu, a water refilling app. Thanks for sitting down with me. Robin Lewis: Thanks so much for having me, Tim, I’m excited to be here. Tim: Actually, you can explain Mymizu much better than I can, so what is Mymizu exactly? Robin: Mymizu, what we’re doing is we’re on a mission to help people live more sustainably, starting with plastic bottles. We accomplish that in, I’d say, four main ways. First, we have the app which you mentioned and it’s essentially a tool where you can find 200,000 locations around the world where you can take your reusable bottle and refill that for free, and so this includes public water fountains like in train station, in parks, and so on, but also, we have this network of what we call ‘refill partners,’ this is cafes, shops, hotels, and other businesses where you can walk in, you can get your water,

In the latest episode of Big Ideas, Small Business with Doreen Milano, Doreen interviews Tim Mullaney, Financial Professional of Wealthwave Crusade. The interview consists of two sections: a book review that assists in understanding how money works, and Tim’s business in the financial industry. Have you ever tried to read a book about finance and find yourself falling asleep? During the first half, Tim talks about the book How Money Works: Stop Being A SUCKER (Matthews, Siebold, 2019) and how the book is an easy read. As Tim discusses with Doreen, most financial books are long, boring, and can put you to sleep. This book is only around 100 pages and has illustrations, so it is fun and interesting to read with great information. It is geared toward the reading level of a 14-year-old and has eight different characters, which makes the book very relatable. The book can be purchased on Amazon or you can reach out to producers of this episode and they will get a book to you. How much of the population understands how money works? Tim says around 30% DO NOT understand how money works. This book makes it easy to understand the financial intricacies without being cumbersome. In fact, there is an ongoing effort to get legislation passed to have the book available in schools so that our upcoming generations can learn how to manage their money. Tim has videos for each chapter of the book that he shares in a weekly class he hosts. The videos are also available On Demand making them highly accessible for group training or continued education. Tim says the book is also a great employee benefit as it helps them learn how to manage their money. What is the number one action item we should be doing with our money? Start saving now. If you save $7 per day, it adds up to over $2,500 annually. During the second half of the interview, Tim tells Doreen about being a financial professional in a highly-competitive industry and how he stays viable. Tim consolidated and moved his business recently and that meant he went back into start-up mode. He and his team decided to get back to the basics of education with their business clients and right-size their offices. As Tim states, “Being nimble is very important these days.” Have you ever heard of the Rule of 72? It is a basic banking principal that Tim explains he learned from his brother at the age of 22. It changed how he looked at money. When Tim was asked what it takes to survive in this business, he says it starts with change in yourself and your mindset - “ownership vs. loanership”. Also, it is imperative to have gumption to succeed and coaches to help you move forward. Tim can be contacted at www.wealthwave.com/TimMullaney.

When Tim told me that he wanted to broach the subject of Grief and Loss, I was completely shook not only because of the uncomfortable subject but because the recent loss of Chadwick Boseman and how important this conversation is. WAKANDA FOREVER, seriously though. In this very brave episode Tim & I unpack the heaviness that accompanies grief and loss. We acknowledge that there is a difference in the process of grieving for different genders & races. The dangers of capitalizing on grief and refusing to empathize with the panic that accompanies the grief. We spoke on the continuing journey that society seems to be taking to create walls to hide their pain. What can we do better to help each other? If anything life is very short and very long at the same time and the people that we choose to live this life with can be the key to keeping us on track to healing and growing. Some solutions we offered that could be right, wrong or in need of revision included the choice to forgive, artistic expression, writing it out, friendships with people who make time for you (tea), time, adventure, hope, and creating memories with the people who mean the most. Let's create safe places for people to be vulnerable about their grief and loss. Tim is also a LOCAL Greensboro artist! STREAM: Self & This Isn't Easy! AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE.

Asset managers, hedge funds and private equity firms, collectively managing almost $1 trillion, call on Tim Mulrooney for his investment advice.

I had the honor of speaking with Tim Touchette. Tim is the President and Owner of Stay Attache, a corporate housing company that has over 290 units in the DC area. When Tim and his wife first started in 2011, they placed $200-text only classified ads in the Washington Post. Back then, it was quite challenging to get businesses interested in a small company. Tim had gone through a couple of economic downturns; the 9/11, the 2008 recession, and now, the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode, Tim talks about what corporate housing is, how they are able to meet the expectations of both the property owners and business clients, and how their business is affected during this time.

Tim Bratz is the CEO and founder of Legacy Wealth Holdings, a real estate investment company that acquires and transforms distressed commercial and apartment buildings into high-performance investment assets. He began his real estate career in 2007, brokering commercial leases in the competitive NYC real estate market. When Tim saw the true potential of investment real estate to transform personal finances and provide financial freedom, he spent time reading, attending workshops, and networking with accomplished entrepreneurs. Fast forward to today, his investment companies own over 3,200 rental units across six states. In this episode, Tim discusses his formula for success, which all starts with being resourceful and having the right mindset.

Tonight's special guest is Tim Lennon from Tucson, Arizona, the President of the Board Of Directors at SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests). Tim shares, "I was one of twelve children who grew up in an Irish Catholic neighborhood and went to Catholic school for twelve years. The priest who raped me was an occasional visitor to my home. He was also a teacher at my elementary school and track team coach." The rape happened at home and was violent and life threatening. Tim shares, “I am lucky to be here. At the time I don’t think the rapist cared whether I lived or died. The sexual abuse ended only because the predator was caught by a parent and sent to another parish.” Later, Tim contacted the leader of a SNAP support group in East Bay, saying “Terrie Light was a life safer–I will never forget her support.” When Tim had twin daughters, he dropped out of the SNAP support group. However, when his daughters were 12 years old, it evoked memories of the violent rape when he was the same age. Tim was devastated, as all the memories of the rape emerged and hit him hard, as Tim shares, “I suffered months of all the symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, nightmares, and months of crying. I immediately got re-engaged with SNAP and co-led a support group in San Francisco.” Tim later retired and volunteered with SNAP, as a victim support person for those contacting the website SNAPnetwork.org. Tim states, “When I was sexually abused when I was twelve, I froze. Now, I can fight back. What happened to me should not happen to another child.”

Why Your Brain Lies To You: Cash Is NOT The Best Motivator   Although money is one of the indicators of growth and success, it's not necessarily the best motivator when it comes to incentivizing a sales team.   Tim Houlihan and Dr. Kurt Nelson are consultants who have spent more than 20 years working with companies to design incentives that will increase productivity within sales teams.  Just a few years ago, they started a podcast that provides practical applications in the real world. One of their topics, motivation through incentivizing, is especially helpful for sales managers.    People tend to make decisions based on an emotional gut response, even though we mistakenly think these choices are made based on rational thought. Emotion and motivation come from the same root making it difficult to distinguish one from the other. Money has less of an emotional connection than we realize and because motivation is tied to our emotions, money can be a poor incentive for a sales team.    Human beings as emotional creatures Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel Prize in 2002 for his idea about the one thinking vs two thinking, an automatic response versus one's cognitive reflective thinking. Human beings respond quickly to a number of situations because that's how we survive.    The brain takes only 3% of our body weight but it consumes 20% of the energy used. The brain then tries to conserve energy with the speed of decision making. When we make emotion-based decisions, non-rational judgements are made.    The illusion of motivation  Because we think we know our own motivation, we think we can analyze what motivates others.  While we can be sympathetic, knowing what others think has too many variables for us to make a consistent, accurate assessment.  If we focus on someone's emotions, instead of assuming what they're thinking, it is far more effective to ask directly.   Cash is a required component Cash isn't bad as an inventive. It's a required component in any business and it's needed to pay the bills, mortgage, buy food, go on vacation etc. However, once those needs are met, incentives that are more material or experiential in nature move people into greater effort.   Tim did research with Dan Ariely from Duke University, the author of the book called Predictably Irrational. For their study, Tim and Dan took several call center reps and broke them into four groups, each getting a different reward. They found that the people who were rewarded with prizes such as bicycles, cockpots, and other non-cash items performed 30% higher than their counterparts who received cash.   Motivation and Emotion  When we evaluate the value of an incentive, a cash reward is easily calculated against the effort it takes to get it.  When a non-cash reward is offered, it's harder to estimate. The thought process then goes to the level of desire for the prize and the motivation becomes emotion-based rather than calculative.    The Four Drive Model, developed by Paul Lawrence and Nitin Nohria, illustrates the different ways people can be motivated.    The four drive models:  Acquire and achieve:  Reward System Bonding and belonging: Organization's Culture Challenge and creating: Job and Organizational Structure Defending and defining: Vision/Reputation and their Performance Management System   Competition as a motivator When Tim begins his lectures,  he asks the students to raise their hands as high as they can. He then asks them to raise their hands even more.  About 30-40% of them will continue to stretch a bit more which means they weren't raising their hands as high as they could. They always had a little incremental effort reserved.    Tim would then say that whomever raised his/her hand the highest would get the candy bar in he was holding. Invariably, there would be people who stood on their chairs to get the candybar.  In this scenario, the motivation wasn't the prize.  It was the competition.     The same is true for the sales reps.    Tim and Kurt often hear sales reps say that their whole lives revolve around money.  Was this true? Tim and Kurt decided to team up with a global automobile manufacturer in Saudi Arabia to test the dealer owners. These were extraordinarily wealthy men so cash was not a good incentive.   Instead, they were offered lunch with Nelson Mandela who was still alive then and living in South Africa. They then added another element of competition and told them they would get to land their private jets at the Johannesburg Airport in the order that they finish the contest. The team set up a big tent on the tarmac and received them as they landed. Each owner in the competition worked extra hard to not be the last one to land.   They didn't need more money but they sold more cars in order to achieve something that would elevate them above their peers, a prize they couldn't get on their own.   The hedonic component The hedonic component speaks to a prize being perceived as a luxury.. When we get cash, we tend to assign its function such as education, bills, mortgage, and other necessities. As a result, the mind has already spent the money.   However, if  the prize is a $5,000 trip to Hawaii you take it as it is. Our brain doesn't spend that value the same way it does a cash reward. The trip to Hawaii will be an experience that you get to remember far into the future.   Money becomes a less motivational tool because a cash prize isn't likely something you will share with friends or social media. A trip to Hawaii, a bicycle, and other non-monetary prizes come with a story you're happy to share.     Cash incentives tend to be allocated to needs. Merchandise and trips have a luxury component. #SalesTruths   The pinnacle of happiness  There's research that says $70,000 is what it takes for a person to be happy and above that, happiness flattens out. The reality is we don't have a good understanding of what is going to make us happy. For salespeople, they believe they will be happier if they're paid more. This isn't necessarily false because money can increase performance and motivation. However, money doesn't really make us happier. Sales managers have to be mindful of relativity. Relativity occurs when salespeople see other sales reps doing the same things they do but are paid more. This is a big demotivator as they begin to compare themselves to others.   Stack ranking  Stack ranking is another misnomer in sales. A lot of sales managers say that peer pressure is good and believe people are motivated to greater action when compared to others.   This can backfire when middle tier performers are asked to compete with the highest performers.  The middle tiers may work hard but just not enough to be among the highest.  This can be very discouraging.    It's far better to allow the same levels of people to compete against each other so they all have the same equal opportunity to win.   Take it one step at a time People want to be accepted so they remain content with the status quo.  Sales managers, however, can veer the incentive system toward a non-monetary reward.  When this is done, it's important for sales managers to ensure they take into account perceived value. To illustrate, there's an emotional difference between gaining $100 and losing $100. Even with the same amount, the idea of losing over gaining bears a much bigger emotional impact. The best way to make incremental change is by not taking away anything from the cash plan but do add a non-cash reward. You need to make changes from cash to non-cash in a very slow and incremental fashion.  Give your sales reps the time to adjust to the new system until they're ready for a non-cash reward. Do not take away their X just to give them Y when Y is much less than X's perceived value.    Examples of non-cash rewards The most powerful example of the non-cash reward that Keith has seen is a group travel reward. The award was by the sales district and winners all got to travel together with their spouses to places within 300-400 miles. It gave the winners a close-knit bond with each other, as well as their spouses.   Back in 2008, Tim was working with an insurance client that was declining at 35% annually. When Tim suggested the company use prizes that were non-monetary but equivalent to their commission, the business went flat instead of declining.    Structuring your incentive system There are a variety of ways you can set up incentive systems and Tim and Kurt can help define what's best for your company. They work with the sales team to understand the psychological factors that motivate the team to increase sales.   “Why Your Brain Lies To You: Cash Is NOT The Best Motivator” episode resources  There's always an emotional aspect to every decision but we don't always react rationally.

In this episode, Tim and Randy will talk about how gym owners can leverage the ProFit Client Lifecycle Automation for their online training programs, and they will focus more on communication automation which includes email, text message, and voicemail. Voicemail, for example, is a very underutilized but effective way for a gym to get the message to their prospects and clients. When Tim and Randy were transitioning to online training at Pulse Fitness, they used a software to blast out all of their current clients to give them instructions on a recording that went right to their voicemail. They also leverage that for new leads that come into their online program by setting those voicemails automatically.When a gym runs an offer, ad, or funnel, and they get the necessary client information, they most often use an autoresponder to send a single email to the lead to try and get them to book an appointment, but with automation, that lead can be nurtured continuously until they book an appointment. Once they book the appointment, the automation system will stop doing the nurturing and move into the reminder sequence for the call the lead is supposed to make. That process alone can increase a gym’s show rates and booking appointments. Tim will talk about a real life gym owner who increased their bookings more than 150% by just using automation.Tim and Randy will highlight the importance of a gym owner having an automated system in place especially during this challenging time when gym owners cannot afford to hire new staff or even keep on most of their current ones. An automated system can carry out most of a gym’s core operational and marketing tasks such that a gym owner doesn’t need to hire new staff for those tasks, and for the gyms that are going online, they can grow their online programs seamlessly without making any additional expenses. There’s so much that a gym owner can do with an automated system during these challenging times to not only increase their show rates, but also grow their online programs sustainably. Stay tuned for that and more.Key Takeaways:The fitness industry being in the forefront of the mainstream (03:08)How to get leads to actually booked calls and then show up for the calls (04:41)A gym owner who increased his bookings over 150% by just using the automation (05:20)The difference between a lead showing up for a call or consultation, and going somewhere else (08:37)Automation is not meant to eliminate the gym owner or staff from the business (13:49)Considering the freemium opportunity and the upsells (16:01)The difference between those that get stuck in a problem and those that seek a solution quickly (20:35)Additional Resources:www.CLACourse.comwww.ProFitGPS.netMarketing Talk with Fitness Professionals Facebook Grouphttps://PFMarketingSolutions.com/Datawww.PFMarketingSolutions.com/Automationwww.ProfitGPS.comwww.PFMarketingSolutions.com/Call--If you are interested in a free audit for your gym, visit http://bit.ly/free_gym_audit--You can find out more about Tim and the strategies covered in this episode by checking out our website.--Would you rather watch the video version instead?Head over to our YouTube channel to watch this episode by going here--If you don’t already have my book, get your copy FREE here.--Connect with Tim:Schedule A CallFacebookInstagramLinkedInConnect with Randy:FacebookInstagram--Subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, YouTube or anywhere else you listen to your podcasts.If you haven't already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!

Good morning, RVA! It’s 42 °F, and highs today will stay in the 50s. We’ve got a bit of rain to get through this morning, but, after that, things look pretty nice all the way to next week.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 1,250 positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth, and 27 people in Virginia have died as a result of the virus. VDH reports 131 cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 43, Henrico: 62, and Richmond: 26). Locally, the City reported the first two deaths cause by COVID-19, two men in their 70s that may have both picked up the virus while working in New Jersey. The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that Chesterfield also saw their first COVID-19 death.City Council has scheduled a special meeting tomorrow (PDF), April 2nd at 3:30 PM, to pass legislation that’ll let them start meeting and working remotely. This is great news and the first, much-needed step in getting our legislative body back up and running so that they can start working through the budget and whatever emergency legislation seems appropriate.The furloughs and layoffs have started. According to Jonathan Spiers at Richmond BizSense, Chesterfield County “will furlough more than 500 part-time and full-time employees effective this Saturday, as part of its efforts to weather the financial impacts of COVID-19.” County Manager Joe Casey says 15 of those 500 are full-time jobs, but it sounds like lots of those positions came with benefits. It’s a really, really bad time to lose benefits. Bon Secours announced that “associates who are not directly supporting COVID-19 response activities will be placed on furlough, a temporary layoff from work.” The WaPo says that’s “700 total full-time equivalents across seven states and 12 markets.” However, it’s unclear to me how many of those are in the Richmond region. Also, the owners of the RTD itself will require its employees to “either take a pay reduction or furlough time off that is the equivalent to two weeks of salary.” Government, healthcare, and journalism: Three industries in which we need more workers during This Most Unusual time, not fewer.OK, mask update! The Washington Post says they’ve got memos from the CDC to the White House saying “simple cloth masks that cover the mouth and nose can prevent virus transmission from such individuals when they are out buying groceries or seeking medical care.” Again, remember the Czech philosophy on masks: “My mask protects you; your mask protects me.” I haven’t tried it yet, but here are some instructions on making a DIY no-sew mask with a handkerchief and two hair ties.Related mask update! Yesterday, I asked for folks to help connect GRTC with a reliable source of masks for their bus operators who are out there every day making sure essential workers get to essential jobs. Lots of folks wrote in, and it seems like the RVA Masks 4 Health Facebook group (augh Facebook) is the first and best place to both submit a need for masks and to help out with making masks. There are a ton of resource in there, and I am kind of amazed at the level of organization. If you’d like to help, you can do so by delivering masks, donating materials for masks, or, of course, sewing masks. Thanks to everyone involved in this project and to everyone who helped get GRTC in the queue for masks that’ll help their bus operators feel safer while performing their critical jobs! Bill Lohmann at the RTD has a nice profile on some of the folks behind RVA Masks 4 Health.An ominous reminder from ChildSavers: Domestic violence counselors across the state have started to prepare for an uptick in cases as families stay at home due to the coronavirus. ChildSavers has a 24/7 immediate response hotline available for mental health and trauma crises involving children (804.305.2420), and it’s worth putting this number in your phone to have whenever you, or someone you know, may need it.From /r/rva: “Ellwood’s has swapped out their dining section for an expanded toilet paper aisle.” Amazing.This morning’s longreadLife and Death on El CapitanWhile morbid, this story about two pals climbing El Capitan was a nice distraction. I have no desire to be a person who climbs rocks, but it seems like a very primal hobby and I’m glad folks are out there doing it.Tim grinned as he wiped the sweat off his pale forehead and into his blond hair. He was lean but solidly built, with wide features, dense muscles, and blue eyes that squinted in the sun. “That’s not really how it works, love,” he said teasingly. “You don’t just meet someone and do one pitch with him over and over again and say, ‘Hey, let’s go do El Cap.’” JJ insisted that Tim at least ask for Jason’s contact info, which he sheepishly did before they got in their cars and drove back to their respective lives. When Tim still hadn’t connected with Jason after a few months, JJ stepped in again. “Don’t let this guy get away.” Tim reached out, and the men made plans to meet in Yosemite.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Megan from Auburn has asked Fitz for help because she thought her boyfriend Tim was going to propose on Christmas Eve and he didn’t, and then she thought maybe it was New Year’s Eve, but that passed too, and now she’s wondering why he is taking so long. When Tim comes on, he says he had been planning to propose on New Year’s Eve, but he made the mistake of telling a couple of her friends and they leaked it to her, but got apparently got the wrong day which why she expected Christmas. But he didn’t know that– all he knew was that suddenly and randomly after Christmas she got really cold and standoffish and so when New Year’s Eve rolled around, he was mad at her and didn’t feel like proposing. Tim says it is really important to him that the proposal be perfect and be a memory they have forever – like something out of a movie - but Megan has been waiting a long time and just wants the damn ring already. Then Fitz suggests Tim propose on the air….!

The burn chart mindset, whole book project management, and a how-to for finding a progress tracker that works for you. KJ’s an avid user of burn charts. Sarina uses a desktop variant (and has her own style). Jess doesn’t entirely see the appeal. What’s the difference between a burn chart and to-do list? Maybe nothing, if your to-do list goes all the way to the end of your project—and maybe everything, if you’re not paying attention to the difference between what you’ve got on your list, and what has to be done by when and by who in order to meet a deadline. This week on the podcast, KJ tries to talk Jess into the burn chart mindset, Sarina talks whole book project management, and we all come down to a how-to for finding a progress tracker that works for you.Episode links and a transcript follow—but first, a preview of the #WritersTopFive that will be dropping into #AmWriting supporter inboxes on Monday, September 9, 2019: Top 5 Reasons You Need a Burn Chart.

As you likely know, the one and only sponsor of the #AmWriting podcast is Author Accelerator, the book coaching program that helps writers all the way through their projects to the very end. Usually Author Accelerator offers only longterm coaching and they're great at it, but they've just launched something new inside outline coaching, a four week long program for novelists and memoir writers that can help you find just the right amount of structure so that you can plot or pants your way to an actual draft. I love the inside outline and I think you will too. I come back to mine again and again, whether I'm writing or revising. Working through it with someone else helps keep you honest and helps you deliver a story structure that works.

And if you are a regular listener, you might've noticed a little difference in our introduction today because we are now #AmWriting The Podcast and now with more Sarina.Jess:                             02:01                Now with more Sarina and you may have noticed some weird hesitation in our voices as we were doing the intro cause it's been a couple of years doing the regular intro and I'm happy to make a change.KJ:                                02:11                Yeah, this fall we're sparking it up. There's going to be three of us sometimes. We're going to do lots of interviews, we're going to do some great new projects that we are excited about. But today we're just doing a podcast on one of my favorite dear to my heart topics, which is the burn chart.Jess:                             02:33                This is very timely because in the #AmWriting Facebook group, someone posted just a few days ago, could someone please explain this whole tracking software burn chart thing. And we've talked about burn charts a couple of times because KJ likes them. And because I've never really used them, I wanted to know more about how to use them, especially, you know, with this deadline looming. But you and Sarina are so good at planning your time I think it's something I could really learn from.KJ:                                03:03                Well that was something I was thinking about was I thinking, is there a difference between a burn chart and a to do list? And the answer is not necessarily, If your to do list goes all the way to the end.Jess:                             03:19                Well, where are we now? KJ, you still use burn charts? Sarina, do you use burn charts?Sarina:                          03:24                Well, I use a thing called Pacemaker and I can't wait to hear how much like or different it is from KJ's burn chart.Jess:                             03:32                Okay.KJ:                                03:32                And this is perfect because that is clearly a software thing, right?Sarina:                          03:37                Yup.KJ:                                03:37                Yeah. So I, I'm the paper burn chart. You, you are the digital version. All right.Jess:                             03:44                And I'm the one who just sits in the chair and hopes that I get enough words on the page to meet my deadline in October.KJ:                                03:51                Yeah. Well I mean I hope you're doing a little bit more than hoping, but if not, Hey, we've got time. We've got time to like rein you in. All right, so a burn chart is a physical manifestation of two things and one is the amount of time that you have to go towards your deadline. And the other is your is tangible markers of your progress towards that deadline. So just to really make it incredibly easy. If for some reason you knew that you had to write 10,000 words and it doesn't matter what they say, just that you just have to write 10,000 words and then you have five days in which to do it. Obviously at the end of every day you need to check off that you have written 2000 words. That would be very easy. You would make one side of your chart, 2000 words, 4,000 words, 6,000 words that you know, and then the other side, the days. And then you would draw a little straight line. And if you got there you'd be right on your line. And if you wrote 2,300 words, you'd be a little above or below your line depending on how you want to measure it. And so really the key is that you have divided the work that you have to do up into measurable....Jess:                             05:28                achievable...KJ:                                05:28                Well that's an interesting piece of it. So when I created my burn chart for The Chicken Sisters revision, I had exactly 30 days and I had 27 chapters and I went through and I had a list of the chapters. So I wrote out the chapters and I thought, well, these are in pretty good shape, so I ought to be able to do these together and this one's not in bad shape so I sort of tried to chunk them together. And it turned out that after two days I was dramatically wrong. But what was really good because I had sort of drawn this line of where I thought I could get to and I very quickly realized I couldn't do nearly as much as I thought that I could. So I was able to sort of quickly rejigger the chart right away. And if I hadn't been able to rejigger the chart, I could have quickly asked for another two weeks because it was immediately clear that I was only going to be able to manage one chapter a day, tops. And some days I wasn't even able to manage that, but fortunately it turned out to sort of all zip along at the end. So you have to be able to define an achievable goal, yes. But that's kind of problematic because if you've got 30 days and 40 chapters and all you can do as a chapter a day, then there you are. You know, your deadline is not gonna work.Jess:                             07:00                Yeah.KJ:                                07:00                So that's part of the reason to create a burn chart.Jess:                             07:02                Well, and the nice thing about your burn charts, KJ, having looked at them many times with great envy is I remember when you were writing How to Be a Happier Parent, you had these very pretty burn charts that have an X axis and a Y axis and a line that goes down to zero. And by the time you're done, your little line meets the bottom line and you're down at zero and it looks all pretty. And I remember seeing one of those and thinking, Oh well wouldn't that be satisfying?KJ:                                07:31                It is satisfying. Yeah I've got the Happier Parent one here now. And that was one where I divided the work into chunks that were sort of only coherent to me because it might be outline this, and draft this, and revise that. But as long as I got through, I think I was at a three chunk a day plan, cause I had a pretty solid idea of what I could and couldn't do. Now on The Chicken Sisters chart I also made a funny mistake. I did the axises wrong. It's hard trying to think how to explain it, but the way that I did it, it wasn't satisfying. So if I, if I achieved more than I thought I would achieve because I had put the chapters all along the bottom there wasn't sort of, if I marked that I had colored it in, it didn't look good. It didn't look like I was doing something. So I turned it sideways.Jess:                             08:36                It needs to look really satisfying. You either have to be coloring - we'll put all these pictures up on the website - but it needs to look satisfying. You need to be either creating a long bar of color or you need to be reaching some zero end point.KJ:                                08:51                Yeah. And you can burn up. So you could have like if its the first day of the month and you need to get one chunk down or one chapter done so you put the day on the up and down axis and the achievement and then you sort of color it in and the next day you get and see you can go up or you can, as I did with Happier Parent, you can count down because I needed to cross things off. So I started off at the upper left hand corner and I burned down.Jess:                             09:25                Okay. That makes sense.KJ:                                09:27                I checked things off. But in Chicken Sisters I did the axis backwards. I ended up burning up, burning up was more satisfying.Jess:                             09:41                Okay.KJ:                                09:42                So how does this compare to doing it on Pacemaker, Sarina?Sarina:                          09:45                You know, it's kind of similar. With Pacemaker you tell it what you're doing. So, drafting as opposed to revising and and then you tell it how many words you need to go.Jess:                             10:00                Was this designed for writing specifically?Sarina:                          10:02                Yes.Jess:                             10:03                Oh, okay.Sarina:                          10:04                And then you give it your deadline. What I do enjoy is that you can finesse a little bit with telling it when you're not going to work. Like I had two trips this month and I was able to tell Pacemaker that I would not be writing on those days. And the nice thing about that is that it's always recalculating. So right now it tells me that on this project I have 11 days left and over those 11 days I have 15,800 words to go. And so it very handily lets me know that I need to write 1,317 words each day to get to my target of 90,000 total words.Jess:                             10:56                So if you do that or don't do that, do you tell the app or is it integrated with whatever you're using to write?Sarina:                          11:01                No, It's not integrated. It's just a satisfying thing to open up the Pacemaker window and enter my new total word count.Jess:                             11:10                Is it on your phone or on your computer?Sarina:                          11:12                It's a desktop app, which I admit is not very 2019.Jess:                             11:16                Okay. ,KJ:                                11:18                But this would work really well for either drafting - and I'm assuming if you get to 80,763 words and you write the end, you're going to count that.Sarina:                          11:32                Of course.KJ:                                11:33                It would work really well for that or for revising where you could put in the number of words that you have.Jess:                             11:43                How does it work for revising specifically?Sarina:                          11:45                Well, I was just doing a revision on something else and I would have entered it the same way where I would have just told it how many words were left in the unrevised part of the document or rather how many were in the revised part. But it's actually kind of flexible. I think you can instead just tell it how many revision words you've covered that day. You can make it do a lot of what you might want to do.Jess:                             12:12                Okay. So what happens if, like today for example, my plan is to submit the chapter I'm working on right now to my agent by the end of the day. I was feeling really good about it yesterday and then I dove back into the beginning and I said, Oh heck, this stinks. I have to redo. You know, what ended up being a whole morning's worth of work. And I think I can still get it done. But how does a program like that account for the fact that what you've got is not always what you think you've got? Or can it?Sarina:                          12:42                Obviously it can't, but it just recalibrates so I like to keep things so that my daily word count than I need to accomplish is 1200 words or lower. Like I, I feel good about life when that line marching across the screen says you have to do 1200 words every day to stay ahead. And now yesterday I didn't write anything, but I did a lot of thinking about what was wrong with this book and what I needed to do to fix it. So today when I opened up the window, it said, guess what, honey? You've got to do 1300 instead of 12, just to keep your head above this ocean and and so obviously I slipped there a little bit, but you know, if I put up 1500 words today, which let's face it is not an insane number, then it'll start to go back in the right direction.Jess:                             13:37                Okay.KJ:                                13:37                So I guess it just depends on what it is you're needing to measure. I mean, I admit my burn charts tend to be sort of like complicated multi page affairs because for example, if I was doing what you are doing, Jess, and if I had chapters that needed to go through phases, so you need to draft it, then you need to send it to your agent, then you're probably gonna revise it, then you're going to send it to your editor. When I'm doing that, I allow time for those other people's involvement. So, if I were where you are...Jess:                             14:14                ...you would be in a total panic.KJ:                                14:16                I would be in a total panic, utter and total sympathy and props for you. After I was done breathing into the paper bag under my desk, I would come out and I would make a list and I mean that's the thing, you just want to use the list.KJ:                                14:29                I'm looking at my How to Be a Happier Parent and I listed the chapters and then I checked off: had I outlined it, had I drafted it, had it gone to my agent, had I revised it. I actually was not sending chapters to my editor so I didn't have that as a piece. And there was a point when I sort of had estimated the percentage that things were drafted and things were a little crazy. But I was allowing for for that process so that when the last chapter that was going to my agent was going to my agent, I would be on say, revising the first three chapters. So I made these really sort of monstrous multi page lists. And then what I did was to figure - each one of these is going to take me three hours, let's add up all the three hours, and then divide it by the amount of time that I have left and, and sort of lay it out there. And one of the reasons to do that is so that you can see if you're going to be able, because sometimes you set a deadline you can't hit. And it's so much better to recognize that five days into working with your burn chart when you're like, wait a minute, I'm seven chunks underwater or 12,000 words underwater. Then you can reach out to everyone else involved because when it's a visual reminder, you can't fool yourself. You can't every day go 'I worked really hard, I did everything I possibly could because there are circumstances when everything you possibly could isn't going to get you to October 1st with, with the book.Jess:                             16:24                Well, and that's why we changed this deadline to begin with. I mean, I hit May and realized, Oh yeah, July 1st is not gonna happen. And I actually went to my agent before she had planned to come to me on May 1st and I got to her before that to say, yeah, we need to change this. But my little sort of clue to myself when something is done - mine's a lot simpler than yours in the sense that what I do is keep that all those chapters on the left hand side of my page in Scrivener. I close the folder when that chapter is done or out or off to edit. The nice thing for me is I can see, all the time, on the left hand side of the page things that I need to put cues for, where I'm headed. Oh, don't forget that in chapter seven, I'm going to say such and such. So I have sort of a nice low visual cue on the side, but it's really pretty simple for me. I don't really have a strategy as involved. Right now I'm in the 'just keep my head down and keep plowing through' and I always worry that if I take time to do things like make a very fancy burn chart, which would be a wonderful procrastination strategy for me right now, that I'm just using up time on something when I should just be sitting at my desk writing the words.KJ:                                17:39                Well that is a know yourself thing and it's probably helped by the fact that you've written this kind of book before.Jess:                             17:46                What's really weird about that though is that I don't have a burn chart for Gift to Failure. Every once in a while I look around and I think, did I really write that book? Because I don't remember how that even happened. It's like that labor thing with childbirth and labor, you know, the only reason you do another one is cause you forget what it was like the first time around.Sarina:                          18:08                I experience that too, I've had to go back into my own books a lot this month to see what I said about certain secondary characters and, and there'll be a joke in there and I'm like, I don't really remember where that came from.KJ:                                18:26                Yeah, I'm having that too. Sarina, one thing I was thinking of when I was looking back at my 2017 journal because I wanted to find the How to Be a Happier Parent burn chart. And I could see all the different places where I'd put up goals and where I'd listed what the different chunks were and sort of re-revised again what I needed to do. And for me that's a keep your mind on track thing. Sarina, I know that at the beginning of a big season of writing, you'll be like, I'm shooting for three books and a serial and these are my different deadlines. And I imagine you sort of sticking up giant post-its to put the different deadlines places. And I feel like it's almost a different kind of big burn chart cause again, it's that visual.Sarina:                          19:30                It is and actually I was just doing that last weekend and it's so much harder than figuring out how many words you can write in a month. What I was struggling with is project management really. So I have this book that I need to turn into my editor on October 9, but having that editorial date set up was a to do list item that had to come into my life sometimes between deciding to write the book and choosing a publication date for it. Because once I finish a project, there are all these other people that have to be involved and that's where all the stress comes from. So for this book I had to hire a cover designer and we had to establish a date for that and I had to hire an editor because my previous editor is leaving the business and I had to hire both male and female narrators. And this morning I woke up to the knowledge that I hadn't asked my audio engineer to do the post production on the audio book yet. So it's all those deadlines that really make me crazy because you can't sit there quietly with your bar chart in your notebook and you're not in control of your own destiny up to a point. So I've been really struggling with that lately.Jess:                             20:55                That would be panic inducing for me. I mean the idea that on top of writing this book, I also need to be out there figuring out who my narrators are and what my post production stuff is going to look like. I mean, it's a much more complicated picture and I think the analogy of project management is really apt. I think that works. Anyone who's worked in the business world and had to keep together some large project like that with many sort of that many headed Hydra situation. I think that's a really good comparison.KJ:                                21:25                Well that is the world the burn chart prompts from. You know, the original use of a burn chart is techies developing software and they would put it up in a group workspace and maybe everybody's pieces would line and basically what they would do is set up targets. You know, everybody needs to have written their chunks of code to achieve this piece of creating the like button for Facebook or whatever. And then, those are going to go off to the bug checkers while we move on. So that's where the burn chart idea came from. So it can be perfect for managing a lot of moving parts and keeping track of whether your other people are doing what you need. Like, right now I've revised and somebody else has my revision and I'm pencils down and I can't do anything. But I'm still very aware of the day that my editor is expecting to have this revision back. You just can't have any illusions when you've written it down. And I don't think you have any illusions. It's almost just a question of whether or not it's satisfying for you to see it laid out or if it's useful. And if it's not, it's not.Jess:                             22:56                I'm also one of those people that I can be completely gung ho about something on one day and I'm all excited and I charted out and for like two days I'll track my progress and then I'll forget. And then it's over. For me, when I'm not focused on the process itself, I tend to lose track of the other details. But I like looking at your burn charts, they're very pretty. And I love looking at Sarina's charts cause her charts are gorgeous and I'm very impressed by all of it. For me, right now I don't know, maybe it's just because I'm in such a state of panic.KJ:                                23:31                I just have to say that the idea to me of being where you are without this checklist, visual reminder of what still has to be done. Like, I would lay awake at night mentally drawing little boxes and creating a to do list. And I think some people are just like that. I have another friend and she's exactly like that. Like in every project there's that phase where it's all so amorphous, you can't make the list.Jess:                             24:04                That's how I am at the very beginning. But now I have a mental picture of where each of the chapters are.KJ:                                24:12                Yeah. And once I get to the point where I can make that list I need to make the list. You know what it's like? It's like that whole David Allen's Getting It Done book where he's just like some of us just need to write it all down. And if that frees your brain to go, Oh, okay, it's somewhere, it's somewhere, like I'm not going to lose that.Sarina:                          24:39                I'm definitely in that camp.KJ:                                24:40                It sounds like you're not, Jess. I mean, it is somewhere, it's in your Scrivener and that's enough to make your brain go, okay.Jess:                             24:53                Well, and actually that's a good point. If I was using Microsoft Word for this, and I had no central location where all the chapters were in folders. Like the very first thing I did at the beginning was arrange all of the research into the various chapters and then I had the outlines. And so for me, Scrivener has been invaluable because it allows me to quantify to a certain extent where I am with each chapter and that's what gives me some peace - is being able to see those chapter headings with those folders, with that stuff, with the text I've already created and maybe the fragments that I've cut out - that to me is sort of burn chart-y. Kind of, without the end point.Sarina:                          25:32                Jess, do you know the trick about you can import your own icons for those left hand column?Jess:                             25:40                No, I did not do that, but I'm sure I could spend a good two hours on that this afternoon instead of finishing this chapter.KJ:                                25:45                That sounds like a good rabbit hole. Oh, I want this one to look like a little folder.Jess:                             25:50                That's the problem with Sarina. Sarina's got all these pretty little add ons for things. So for example, she's the one who taught me how to use Link Tree in Instagram and she spent the $6.99 to get the very pretty version. And I have the basic version. I was very tempted to go for the pretty version. And then I thought through the process of like getting all those icons and making it look pretty and I said, and we're sticking with the basics because I knew I couldn't go there. It would've been a very fun little endeavor, but not today. Anyway, things are going great. I did have a dream night before last that you guys will appreciate. So, as you guys know, my deadline is in October and I have scheduled a vacation starting the day after I hand it in. And my in-laws are going to be there and my husband's going to be there and I'm speaking at a spa at Canyon Ranch and so it's like a built in vacation. But also I'm working while I'm there and it gives me a place to relax at the same time and I want it done so that I can focus on the relaxation part. And I dreamed the other night that I was at Canyon Ranch and I could not relax and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't relax. And I was thinking and thinking and then I realized it's because I never turned my book in. It was horrible.Sarina:                          27:11                So did you also forget to put your pants on because that's pretty much the same chain.Jess:                             27:20                Well actually what's really funny about that is the day after I turned in Gift of Failure was the day that I went horseback riding and got thrown from the horse and bonked my head and did really forget that I had written a book. When Tim was leading me back from where I bumped my head and got the concussion and he was trying to see what was happening with my memory and he quizzed me on my book and what it was about and the names of my children and I did not know any of those things. And so really it was sort of like a little bit of a throwback to the day I completely forgot that I'd written a book at all, even though I had written the whole book and handed in it on time, no ahead of time. I think a whole day ahead of time. That's exciting.KJ:                                28:06                Well you're taking anxiety dreams to a whole new level.Jess:                             28:09                We did have someone on the Facebook on the #AmWriting Facebook page who announced that she handed in her manuscript with, I think she said 28 minutes to spare and she was very happy with herself. Does anyone have anything else to say about burn charts? We will put pictures on the website so that people can see what they actually look like because you guys do some beautiful work when it comes to that kind of stuff. I'm very impressed.KJ:                                28:35                It is a pleasure, it's an indulgence. We're recording in the last week of August and I think by the time this is live, it's just going to be the first week of September. But this is the week for me when I need to put all my September charts together and things like that. Sarina has already done hers, she was showing them to me.Jess:                             29:02                Sarina's the one who has already gotten us our 2020 agendas. So of course she already has her September charts.Sarina:                          29:10                I'm ready.KJ:                                29:12                And some things just don't lend themselves to burn charting. Like if you're drafting, Pacemaker sounds like it would be better. It's almost like you only need a burn chart if it is complicated and it's only satisfying if it is complicated. If you're just drafting then, stickers on a day. I didn't do a burn chart for Chicken Sisters until I was revising. I didn't do a burn chart for drafting it because it wasn't like that. It didn't have that many moving pieces. Unlike when I was doing the nonfiction and it was going to the agent and it was moving all over the place.Jess:                             29:53                Well, and I'm looking at my calendar right now and I do stickers. I'm using the polar bears that Sarina gave me in the middle of summer, which makes perfect sense. I'm using my stickers. I think my stickers are for 1200 words or something, but most days I'm double or triple stickering simply because I have to, or getting negative numbers because I'm editing. But really stickers are kind of irrelevant for me now. It's about time and progress and feeling good about where I am.Sarina:                          30:22                Awesome.Jess:                             30:23                Yes. Gold stars. The other thing that was a big deal for me was I canceled and rescheduled a lot of things that I just couldn't do. And I've said no to blurbing some things and I've said no to interviews. But when I got my last contracted piece out to the New York Times, I have a few edits to do, that was sort of a big, dust my hands off and say, whew, now I'm just focusing back on the book stuff. So that was a big deal too. But anyway. Alright. Do we want to talk about what we've been reading?KJ:                                30:56                We did.Jess:                             30:56                Alright. I can't go first cause I haven't thought yet.KJ:                                31:00                Oh, okay. I can go first because I have thought and it is actually kind of funny except I have to flail through my phone to go back. So I read a book called The Beautiful No and Other Tales of Trial, Transcendence, and Transformation. The author is Sheri Salata and she was the executive producer of the Oprah show for a long time. This is what I'm going to say about this book. In my opinion, there are three kinds of people. Well there are three reactions when someone tells you that they've seen an animal psychic, right? And the first one is WTF. I mean that's number one. The second one is sort of an amused interest and open to the possibility that you might sort of learn something in that process with some humor and a fair amount of, you know, a bucket of salt and some sort of personal, I'm taking something from this cause it's cool but I'm not entirely bad. Right? So that would be the second. And the third one is all in, baby, animal psychic, tell me what my dogs are thinking. So this book, The Beautiful No, this is a book for people in category three. And if that is you, this is the book for you, go for it. That is what I've got to say.Sarina:                          32:46                I'm stuck on....is animal psychic a metaphor here or?KJ:                                32:54                No, not even a little bit. And I have had someone look me in the face and say, I have called an animal psychic and I am a two person. I am okay, that's a really interesting thing that you've done and I would love to hear more about it. And if in the process you felt that you gained something, I would love to know about that. But if we can also kind of laugh at the idea, that would be good too. That's me. I am a two. I am not one, I'm not gonna cross you off my friend list. But I'm also not three and this is really a book for three. You need to be all in with the animal psychic to enjoy this. Although I have to say I kind of couldn't put it down.Jess:                             33:47                Well that's an interesting review.KJ:                                33:51                It's not exactly a negative review, nor is it exactly positive, it's just very specific.Jess:                             33:57                Alright. Sarina, what you got?Sarina:                          34:00                Well, I read a pile of books in July, but August for various deadline reasons does not look the same. I am very slowly reading The Rest of the Story by Sarah Dessen and she writes beautiful, measured, contemporary YA novels. And this one I'm certain when I'm able to give it more time, will not disappoint.Jess:                             34:21                You're going to have to tell me at some point, I've never gone down the Sarah Dessen rabbit hole and I know you're a fan, so at some point you're going to have to tell me your favorite one so that I can start with that one. So I've had a weird reading month. I felt like I couldn't start a new book that would really suck me in because then it would be really tempted to listen a lot. So I have been listening to something that has completely sucked me in, but it's episodic, which is Dani Shapiro's Family Secrets podcast and it's essentially juicy family secrets in bite-sized chunks. And it's completely addictive, but you also have an end point, which is exactly what I have needed. I also have to say, you know those books that you feel like enough people told you that you would really like it, so you really keep sticking with it? And then finally you just throw your hands up in the air and say, forget it. I'm going to give up because I just can't do it. That's how I felt about The Snowman by Jo Nesbo. I tried so hard with that book. I really, really did. I just could not care less. So that's where I was with that one. But I also do have one to recommend. A couple of our guests recommended Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and in audio form it's absolutely delightful. It's that book that's about an imaginary rock band during the 70's and set in Los Angeles. And they have a different voice actor for every character and they're all well-known actors. It's a little bit like Lincoln and the Bardo in that sense. Really, really good audio book. But again, it's something that I can listen to in chunks instead of getting completely sucked in from a narrative perspective. So anyway, that's what I've been listening to Family Secrets by Dani Shapiro. You've got to listen to.KJ:                                36:20                Yeah, I wanted to throw a podcast out there too. The new one that I tried because I wanted to listen to Jenny Nash. When I'm feeling stressed about my writing, I like to find a podcast that Jenny has been on and just listen to it. I don't even necessarily really listen, it just makes parts of my brain start thinking. Anyway, she was on a podcast called The Writer Files and I discovered that that was going to be a new podcast for me. I really like it.Jess:                             36:51                She always puts things in ways that are hopeful and optimistic and reality-based, things that feel like they're huge and I can't get my arms around them. Suddenly Jenny has explained them in such a way where I'm like, Oh, I could totally do that. I love listening to her. Sarina, I don't think you've ever done an indie bookstore shout out. Do you have one that you could do for us?Sarina:                          37:15                I'm sure if I did, you have would have already covered it since we cover the same ground here.Jess:                             37:20                Yeah, that's true. But you've been places we haven't been.KJ:                                37:25                I don't think we've ever shouted out our local bookstore where I need to pop in today. Our current local bookstore since we've got one that closed fairly recently and another that's going to open soon. But you know, let's shout out the Norwich bookstore.Sarina:                          37:38                Oh definitely.Jess:                             37:39                They're worth shouting out again, absolutely. Cause they're so great.KJ:                                37:43                I mean always brilliantly curated. One of the things I love about them is that they have a website where I can order the book and then when it comes in, I pop in and I've already paid for it and it's ready. They wrap it in brown paper and put it up on the shelf like I was ordering. So I find that kind of amusing in case I don't want anyone to know that I'm reading The Beautiful No, which maybe I don't.Sarina:                          38:13                Do you know how I order from there? I just email Liza the owner and I say, could you please get these three books for me? And then she emails back a week later and says they're waiting and then I go in and pay.KJ:                                38:26                That would be easier. I should do it that way. I do it on their website and every single time the website says that is not your password. You need to create a new password. And I have written this password and it is the password.Sarina:                          38:38                I guess my method circumvents that and I think, what's the point of shopping local if you can't just fire off an email. But I will say the adorable thing about it is that I did some months ago email and say, Hey, could you please get me Barron's Guide to Colleges? And the email that came back said, Dear Sarina, I can't believe that the child for whom you were just buying picture books needs this Guide to Colleges. I know. And she was right.Jess:                             39:19                That's really sweet actually. I have to say, I was looking through pictures recently and I found a picture of my 15 year old when he was an infant asleep on that bear that they used to have at the Dartmouth bookstore. That used

Welcome Dragons! Today we get to talk with Tim Jackson. He is a drummer, a veteran, & an accomplished paramedic. We discuss his journey from growing up in small town USA to his current role in hospital administration. Along the way we get to hear stories of challenges he experienced & had to overcome to get to where he wanted to go. When Tim & I met many years ago, I feel like it was an instant bond that formed between us. We shared a strong love of music, and happened to go to the same church. Later in life, Tim & I were roommates. So, it's safe to say we have known each other well for a good long time. There was a period when we lost touch for a good 15 years or so. Eventually social media allowed us to reconnect. When I decided to start this podcast I knew Tim's perspective would be one I wanted to share. While we have gone very different directions in our lives and have diametrically opposed views on many topics, I feel the friendship we have, to this day, is based on love & mutual respect for each other. I firmly believe this is something badly MISSING from the national political discussion here in the USA. This is one reason why this is such an important interview. We NEED to break down the barriers of hate & intolerance - from all sides. And we can't do that - we can't begin to heal our homes, lives, and country until we are ready to lay down the disgust & hate for one another's beliefs & embrace the human on the other side of the viewpoint (the story we tell ourselves) as valid & valuable. The more we draw lines in the sand - the more we say "You are not welcome in my house if you believe this way" - the more we try to assume our truth is "the truth" without acknowledging the real living breathing soul across from us - the more our society will break down & devolve into things like mass shootings, conversion therapy, hatred for our fellow humans, and ultimately war or even civil war. My sincerest hope is this conversation can showcase how love for one another can overcome emotionally dug in dogma.

Tim O’Horgan, JJ’s fiancé, joins her in this podcast, to share how the two encourage each other to maintain healthy diet and lifestyle habits. Tim wasn’t always as fit and healthy as he is now. But with JJ’s support, he began making critical changes, and within a few months, he was struggling to keep weight on! Listen to learn about the shifts that JJ and Tim made to get great results and how you can be a positive role model and help your partner achieve amazing health!   Key takeaways: [1:40] Tim thought he was a healthy eater when he first met JJ, but dairy, carbs and sugar were sneaking into his diet.  [2:33] Dessert was the area where Tim was struggling the most. [3:30] When Tim increased fat in his diet, eliminated dairy, reduced carbs and ate lower sugar-impact foods, he began losing weight and had a hard time keeping it on. [6:06] Tim feels amazing after switching to resistance training and high-intensity interval training. [7:10] Endurance training lowers your immune system, can decrease testosterone levels, makes you age faster, and breaks down muscle. [8:38] Tim made the biggest shift in his sleep habits, going from 5 hours to 8-9 hours per night. [9:31] Sleep will de-age you, help you lose fat, build muscle, and is critical for your health and mood. [10:09] Use a Chilly Pad to keep you cool during the night and sleep better. [12:03] Support each other to sustain healthy habits and have fun together. [13:10] Biggest takeaway is: don’t nag! Just be the best role model possible. [14:24] Instead of restricting foods, find healthy replacements. [15:48] The true cause of weight gain is food intolerance. Find out which foods to drop in The Virgin Diet. [16:38] Listener’s question: How do I change my partner's bad eating habits? Answer: be the best role model you can be!   Mentioned in this episode: www.jjvirgin.combooks Facebook JJVirgin Official Instagram @JJ.Virgin

Tim, with 2 days of sobriety, shares his story. On today’s episode Paul talks about 2 articles that discuss alcohol use.  Links for these articles can be found following the show notes.  The first article, published on May 7, 2019 in USA Today, says that alcohol use is soaring worldwide, with the average adult now consuming about 1.7 gallons of pure alcohol per year.  Just in the past 27 years the total volume of alcohol that people consumed globally increased by 70%.  Even though on a global level alcohol consumption is increasing, if you are listening to this podcast you have made it further than 95% of people out there.  You are starting to make changes.  On the brighter side, an article published on January 17, 2018 in Bloomberg, reported that Americans drank less alcohol in 2018, for the third straight year.  Total cases of beer, wine and spirits consumed in the US dropped by .8% in 2018.  This was the third straight year that there had been a decline in consumption.  So globally people are consuming more alcohol, but in the United States consumption is declining.  There’s a new term called ‘sobor curious’, which includes a large population that doesn’t necessarily have an issue with alcohol, but are waking up and are recognizing that maybe messages that big alcohol is telling us aren’t panning out to be true in real life.    SHOW NOTES [12:30] Tim, with a sobriety date of May 13, 2019, has 2 days sober.  After having this interview scheduled for about a week Tim emailed Paul to let him know that he had drank.  He felt like he might not be the ideal candidate to be on the podcast.  After reading the email, Paul let Tim know that he is exactly who he wants to have on the podcast. [15:10] Paul introduces Tim.  Tim is 36 years old and was born, and raised, in Boston Massachusetts.  He came from an Italian family that was in the construction industry.  In middle and high school, he developed a real passion for music.  He dedicated himself to hours and hours of voice, guitar and piano lessons, which led him into a career in ministry as a worship leader.  Tim got married at 19 and is still married to the same woman, they are about to celebrate 17 years and have 3 children.  His career in ministry is in the past and he is working as a project manager for a company that installs high end woodworking beams and bookshelves.   [16:45] Give us a little background about your drinking.    Tim started drinking at 15 and the first night he drank he got alcohol poisoning.  He spent that first night in the shower throwing up and blacking out.  He says he was never able to drink casually.  Getting married at the age of 19, to a woman that is a couple years older than him, meant that he had someone that could buy alcohol for him.  In his early 20s he was drinking about a 6-pack a day.  At the age of 25 Tim attended his first AA meeting, just to see.  By this time, he was drinking 8-10 beers a day.  After listening to someone’s story at that meeting, he decided that he was not an alcoholic.  Tim says he went to a few more AA meetings throughout his 20s, but he continued to drink and started to mix it up with hard alcohol and found his favorite drink, Captain and Coke.  As he moved through his 30’s, Tim and his wife started to have pretty regular arguments about his drinking.  Tim says he was looking for his wife to put her foot down and give him an ultimatum, but that wasn’t happening.  He tried to moderate, and that didn’t work.  He had some periods, 3 – 6 months, when he did not drink, but once he would consume alcohol again it would take about a week and he would be right back to daily drinking. [21:30] In regards to those times of abstinence, what was it that brought you back to drinking? Tim would tell himself that because he just went 3, or 6, months without drinking, that he must have control over it.  The thought of having a glass of wine with his wife, while they watch the sunset, would just seem nice.  That first drink always took him back to where he left off, in a matter of weeks.   In his 30s Tim started hiding alcohol and lying about how much he was drinking.  He was always calculating how he was going to get that buzz.  [23:46] Did you have a rock bottom moment when you knew you had a problem? Tim had joked about being a black out drinker in his 20s, but it wasn’t until his 30’s that he discovered he was really blacking out.  He would drink and come to and realize that he had driven or would come to and not know where he was or who he was with.  When he was blacking out on a regular basis, he knew he had a problem.  [25:20] What happens next?  When Tim was 30, he had gotten a job offer from a huge church down in Atlanta.  It was like his life’s dream, so they moved down to Atlanta.  For the next 6 years Tim found himself counseling people about their drug and alcohol problems, while his drinking continued.   When Tim was 34, he went to a psychiatrist who put him on Adderall, he then was mixing alcohol and Adderall.  He became addicted to the Adderall.     [30:10] Recently you had 7 months sober and then relapsed 22 days ago, tell me about that.           During those 7 months Tim was still taking Adderall and was smoking a THC vape pen.  Although he was not drinking during that time he was still dealing with depression and all that comes with being an addict.  25 days ago, he relapsed, drank a lot, and crashed his truck.  It was then that he went back to AA, got a sponsor, and was ready to take it seriously.  2 weeks ago, Tim’s father, who also struggled with alcoholism, but never admitted it, committed suicide.  Shortly after this Tim went to a bar, had 3 beers, left and called his sponsor.  [37:30] You are on day 2, how are you feeling? Tim says he feels great.  He has energy in the morning and is getting up early to pray.  He has been able to be honest with his boss, which has saved him from losing his job.  He explained to his boss that he could not stay late after work because he is now going to AA, and his boss has been very supportive. [41:00] Do you know why you drank? Tim says alcohol helped him feel his emotions, it allowed him to cry.  He wanted to ‘feel’ and alcohol did that for him.  [43:50] What are you going to do when a craving hits? Tim starts each morning in prayer or meditation.  He sets his day up and prepares for the cravings that he knows he will have.  He also has multiple sponsors and a network of people that he can contact when one is not available.  He listens to podcasts and also has people checking in on him.         [45:21] Rapid Fire Round Worst memory from drinking? 2 years ago, I made a big scene at a restaurant and embarrassed my wife and my friends.  I stacked a bunch of dishes and smashed them on the table, I drank way too much and had to get thrown out.  When was your ah ha moment? It was something I heard on your podcast, someone said, “life isn’t happening to you, it’s happening for you”.  That concept was so incredibly mind-blowing to me.  What’s your plan in sobriety moving forward? To continue on knowing that if I am isolated, which is my nature, I will not succeed at this.  What’s your favorite resource in recovery? Paul I’m not saying this to blow any smoke, but I listen to multiple podcasts, and for some reason yours has been my number 1.  In regards to sobriety what is the best advice you have received? Stop feeling so fucking sorry for yourself.  What parting piece of guidance can you give to listeners? Don’t wait.  Not one more drink, it’s always one more drink, one more day…do it right this second because life it worth it.    You might be an alcoholic if... In the middle of the night, drunk, you are seeing fireworks in your rearview mirror only to discover you have driven the wheel off of your truck and the brake caliper and axel are scraping and shooting sparks 15 feet into the air.     Upcoming retreats: Bozeman Retreat – August 14-18, 2019 Asia Adventure – January 20-31, 2020 You can find more information about these events here   Resources mentioned in this episode: Alcohol Use is Rising Around the World  Americans Drank Less Alcohol in 2018   BetterHelp  Visit betterhelp.com/ELEVATOR and join the over 500,000 people talking charge of their mental health with the help of an experienced professional.

Shownotes: www.unpackingdesign.com/podcast/64 Every designer eventually finds the best process for bringing their projects from concept to completion. For some, it might start with endless sketching that results in a great idea. For others, it may be a logic process that starts with precedent studies, emulating those projects, and eventually transforming the studies into the final deliverable. What is your design process and how has it developed over time? In this episode of design life, Tim talks about refocusing his time on specific projects that he’s currently working on and spending most of his time on one project. He talks about the paralyzing effects of spreading his time too thin on each project to his ability to move forward by deciding to spend a majority of his time on one project. Later in the episode, Tim talks about his process of design that emulates the scientific method. He shares his process with Mike that generally starts with a general research phase, a written document summarizing his findings, a thesis for his project, designing as the experimental phase, and a conclusion where he shares his findings and the outcome of the design project. When Tim finishes a project and moves onto the next one, he applies what he learned from previous projects. Learn more about how Tim applies the scientific method to his design and how he stays focused on his projects when he’s feeling overwhelmed in this episode. — Thank you for listening to Unpacking Design!

Heather's Story: My husband, Tim, started on his plant-based journey in 2011 for his health. He was very sick and desperate—and honestly I was worried he wouldn’t live another year. But now he is in incredible health, and I have seen firsthand the lifesaving results from his new way of eating and other healthy habits. When Tim made the switch, I fully supported him. I ate more plant-based foods, but for some reason I never went completely plant-based. In 2014 I was diagnosed with a uterine fibroid that was bigger than a grapefruit. The fibroid was putting pressure on the ureter to my right kidney, so it had to be removed. In 2015 I had a total hysterectomy. During the surgery and hospital stay I had flashbacks to my mother’s long days and nights at the hospital as she battled leukemia. My dear mother had lost her battle with cancer, and I vowed the day after my own surgery that I would never set foot in a hospital again if I had anything to do with it. While I couldn’t control everything that happens to me, I could control what I put in my body. I flipped the switch and went 100 percent plant-based and never looked back. As a result of making my health a priority, I have lost 90 pounds over the past three years, and I have become a competitive runner. The running began when my husband asked me to run a 5k with him. Then we did a 10k. After my first half marathon I really fell in love with running and being outside. Running makes me feel free. I love the time away from all the distractions around us, listening to my music, and reflecting on everything I’m blessed with. I love setting goals to become better and I never would have dreamed I would become an ultramarathoner. The finish lines and medals are fun, but the best part is spending time with my husband and enjoying the running community. Now that Tim and I are both plant-based and active together, our marriage is thriving. We feel like teenagers, and we’re enjoying life to its fullest. We are passionate about showing others how to transition to a plant-based lifestyle through our classes, social media, and potlucks. Check out Tim and Heather's new cookbook, Fat Man's Not So Fancy 40 Quick and Easy Plant-Based Food Recipes HERE.

He helps others who maybe feeling lonely and hurt. Those who just don't know how they are going to make it. He uses his personal experiences to inspire others to move forward and help them break dysfunction.   In his book he talks about being raised in a dysfunctional home. his dad suffered from mental illness and was diagnosed with depression and paranoia.

In between he also had my own personal failures including a marriage.   Tim  became a Christian at age 40, and this opened my eyes to the power of forgiveness. It helped Tim to forgive the people who had hurt him as well as helping him to forgive himself. Forgiveness is the biggest part of the book.

This is The Do It For Yourself Podcast.  Each week I sit down with someone who is doing it for themselves and chasing a dream they just couldn’t suppress.  This is often speakers, entrepreneurs, or athletes.  They all share one thing in common, they are overcoming challenges and never giving up.  Someone who is Doing It For Themselves is not selfish in their pursuit, they are simply chasing a dream or working towards a goal because it is something THEY want to do.  They are not forging down a path because society or someone is telling them it’s what they should be doing.   This week my guest on the show is Tim Ford.  Time is an elite level half Ironman triathlete as well as a coach and CEO of Team Macca X, a podcaster and still finds time to work a full-time job.  Tim is chasing a goal of a 4:05 70.3 time, which is blazing fast.  When Tim first entered this sport though, he completed his first olympic distance race in 4:05.  From that experience, Tim discusses how he fell in love with both the cycling and the feeling of coming across that finish line.     Tim continued to train and began monitoring the food he was consuming.  After coming up with some creative ways to adapt his favorite dishes to be on the healthier side, Tim realized he could still enjoy food and lose weight at the same time!  He has gone on to complete over 100 races and is still on his quest to do a 70.3 in the same amount of time it took him to do his first race.     I really enjoyed this chance to sit down and hear this story from Tim and I hope you enjoy it as well!   Tim Instagram   Do It For Yourself Instagram

This piece is an unofficial part 3 to the pieces about Tim's conversation with Brent. Those articles ended up touching on the important issue of the role of the right to sex in the argument for abortion. When Tim came upon an article about Planned Parenthood’s view on whether or not someone has an obligation to disclose HIV to a sexual partner, he saw the connection and thought it was worth pointing out.

This week we chat with Tim Pannell, who is quite literally a mover and shaker in Australia’s agricultural industry. When Tim invented the “Reefinator,” it addressed a major challenge for producers in Western Australia – areas on properties that couldn’t be farmed because of hard, rocky land. The Reefinator is machine that makes it cost effective and easy to convert that rock into arable land, and are now all over Australia.

My guest today is Tim Ray. He is the founder of Carnivore Club. An E-Commerce subscription based company that offers meat from different artisans around the world.   [02:04] Stories That Drive Crowdfunding   Carnivore Club is a subscription e-commerce business launched in 2013. Tim was working a 9-5 during the time of the dollar shave club hitting the scene. Tim tells us how wine clubs are a great example of subscription e-commerce based businesses. Because of their stories and delivery, it can be very successful   The different ingredients and interpretations really interested Tim. From a business perspective, he’s in a lightweight and durable industry on e-commerce. He launched in Canada and US with a crowdfunding campaign. Being aware of the crowdfunding space before he got into it, he took an unconventional approach to his marketing video.   He finds that most crowdfunding projects go with tear-jerking stories and something deep to create an emotional connection. The unconventional video was able to get Carnivore Club past the noise. After the launch of the video, the campaign blew up overnight in the US. He spent 13 grand on the video but got back 20 from crowdfunding.   [09:00] The Meat Isn’t Your Product, It’s Your Brand   About 50% of people when they find out about how much it costs to conduct a campaign don’t realize they won’t make money on the campaign. You may break even but chances are low you will make money. You need to look at it as launching a company and not just a product. Crowdfunding is not a get rich quick scheme.   The video Tim created it creates brand awareness. It got his vendors and customers excited for what was to come. Fulfillment and costs will continue to increase for crowdfunding. As the industry begins to mature there’ll be more brands utilizing crowdfunding to launch a product. Ultimately you need to remember you’re starting a business. You can kickstart a product but not become a successful business. Think long term.   [12:20] The Search for Meat   Tim doesn’t have international shipping. Each country he services has its own club. The artisans he works with don't have good websites or SEO. To find them he had to use guerilla tactics. He began searching Google using keywords to find his suppliers. To be successful you need to ensure you have everything lined up before launch.   Tim was on Dragon’s Den despite the saturation of the subscription box market at the time. However, it hadn’t really hit TV yet. Tim took advantage of this and ended up increasing his sales short-term due to this. He knew the value proposition but didn’t get any box features in line at first.   From once the campaign was closed he allowed himself time to figure out what they were going to give people. It ended up being put together on the fly when it came to getting monthly boxes together. This helped when it came to multi-month subscriptions as well as he was able to provide discounts.   [18:37] Start of Crowdfunding   Tim didn’t want the pressure of only having 20 orders for his first month. His first month and a half of the business was media and PR. He created brand awareness before Christmas to be able to tap into that market. His media and PR piece was about crowdfunding in general. He’s now launching a new company in the spring without crowdfunding. He feels a more traditional business launch would pull more heartstrings, considering his tenure as an entrepreneur.   Social media marketing is huge when it comes to crowdfunding. Getting your name out there to increase your brand awareness will show you success.   [21:14] The Bugs in Your Meat   When Tim launched his website, there was a lot of bugs. He had long painful nights to figure out his processes and systems. He launched the website and crowdfunding campaign without very much thought into the little things. He taught himself by virtue of necessity how to execute and have superior customer service.   Tim was able to fulfill on time. He may have broken a few rules to get there but he learned different strategies from this. He expanded into Australia and quickly realized that more research needed to be done to get into that space. He didn’t even realize he needed a registered business number.   He began to expand into the UK and began to quickly discover some copycats. He found a company that had ripped him off in almost every way. Packaging, inserts, etc. They ended up going under a few months later because they didn’t know how to effectively run a business. This happens when you’re not knowledgeable on how to fulfill.   [26:07] Importance of Fulfillment   Tim spent approx. $25,000 on the video marketing in Australia. They exceeded their targets in the first month launching organically by 25k. Quickly they realized they’re deliveries in Australia weren’t very transparent. When Tim’s products shipped to US and Canada he was easily able to receive a tracking number. However, in Australia, it was similar to a black box. There was no identification as to where the parcels were at any point. They also were limited in terms of where they could ship to. Tim was unable to deliver in Australia during Christmas because of this.   Tim revamped his business model in Australia. He’s now using Australia Post which has found to be much more transparent in their fulfillment. If you don’t have a good 3PL it’s going to present it’s own problems down the line.   [30:50] Cutting the Fat, Keep The Meat   Crowdfunding was a good start for Tim and his company. His most successful decisions were around investing in prestigious packaging for their boxes. He’s paying more for this, but he wants his customers to feel regal with their subscription. He continued to do videos which continued to prove to be successful.   Tim didn’t want to penny pinch or cut corners on his branding. He believed having a unique and stand out brand would get him to where he needed to be. However, he ended up spending way too much on unprofitable ad spending during Christmas.   He began podcast advertising which didn’t turn out successful for him. He noted that ads in podcasts follow to regular of a space. This results in a lot of people just skipping over the ads. Tim found his profitable routes of marketing are social media and videos. Working with a subscription business and artisans provides that unique touch to his business. Tim is looking to be the go-to for these types of artisans to display their product.   Tim got a lot of inquiries about specific products. A lot of his artisans also didn’t like the infrequency of purchasing, however. He wants to evolve his subscription model to a more on-demand model for his customers.   Episode Outline   Introduction: Finding the Meat In Crowdfunding   [02:04] Stories That Drive Crowdfunding [09:00] The Meat Isn’t Your Product, It’s Your Brand [12:20] The Search for Meat [18:37] Start of Crowdfunding [21:14] The Bugs in Your Meat [26:07] Importance of Fulfillment [30:50] Cutting the Fat, Keep the Meat   Resources and Sponsor @Timmyeray https://carnivoreclub.co/ https://thegadgetflow.com/ I want to thank our sponsor Gadget Flow which is the #1 platform to discover the best products and crowdfunding projects on the market.

In this episode, Marc shares Part 2 of 4 parts of the CareerPivot evaluation process. This is the second half of the feedback session, where Marc helps Tim understand his organizational and time management behaviors. Tim shares office stories about his strengths and stresses. Key Takeaways: [1:34] Tim is a 50-year-old guy who has been stair-stepping himself out of a career and building a business on the side. Last month he got laid off, which was his trigger to complete his pivot. This episode will cover Tim’s Birkman through his organizational and time management behaviors and the Birkman measures of freedom and challenge. [2:19] If you missed Episode 48, please stop here and listen to it first. If you listen on the go, listen first without the reports and then download them from CareerPivot.com/Tim and listen to it again. [2:53] Page 10 has the need for structure, organizing, and being responsible. Flexibility vs. Structure. Tim’s most effective behavior puts a high value on structure and order. He is systematic, procedural, and concerned with detail. His strengths are maximized when the plan is of his own making and when he has the flexibility to bend his own rules. [5:25] Tim can walk into a situation, create order, and set up procedures. But then he has to go. He cannot live under his own procedures for a long period. He gets bored. [6:33] Tim’s causes of stress are external interference in his plan can frustrate or distract him. He may overreact to pressures that threaten his personal freedom. Tim agrees with what he hears so far. He dreads a manager coming by and suggesting changes without knowing what has gone into the procedure. [7:30] Tim’s possible stress reactions would be overgeneralizing, neglect of order and system, and weakened follow through. This has appeared on his past performance reviews. [8:07] Page 11 covers Need for Authority. Being in Charge, and Suggest vs. Tell. Tim wants to win the argument. He prefers to be free of close authority. Tim is most effective when there is a minimum of controls placed on him. Strengths: Deferent and agreeable, pleasant and low-key. Tim is a nice guy who doesn’t want a boss. [9:06] Tim would much rather be asked than told. Tim wants to be in-the-know and to know why. Tim recognizes the importance of control in the environment. This applies a need for some balance. He is most at ease in environments that maintain direction and control in a fair and equitable way. [10:28] Tim would rather have a collegial boss than an authoritarian boss. Because of his need for balance, he may be annoyed by people who are too assertive, or he may become unusually aggressive in situations that seem to lack direction. [11:41] Tim possible stress reactions are becoming argumentative, and difficulty speaking up. He has done both but especially is reluctant to speak up. [12:13] Page 12 is Dealing with Change and Focused vs. Variety. Tim’s most effective behavior is his sense of novelty, adventure and readiness to start new things. His resilience to change is above average. He is easy to stimulate, responsive, attentive, and adaptive. Tim likes variety. This is a problem in the corporate environment. [14:46] Tim responds best to situations and surroundings that offer frequent changes of activity. He gets positive reinforcement from an environment that allows him to move. He has a standing desk with wheels that he moves. He is totally bored sitting at a desk. Excessive emphasis on routine can put Tim under pressure, feel restless and annoyed. [16:56] Tim gets annoyed with delays, problems with self-discipline, and an inability to concentrate. [17:22] Page 13 covers the need for kinesthetic movement in his day, and the energy he uses in making decisions. He enjoys being regularly active and can summon reserves of energy when his schedule demands it. He is energetic, enthusiastic and uses vigorous reasoning. He may take on many projects, and overlook the need to rest. [18:21] Tim has trouble shutting down in the evenings. He is always thinking. Marc recommends to him the book Positive Intelligence, and focus on one small thing at a time for 15 seconds 100 times a day. Tim’s causes of stress are hurried conditions with too little time to think things through. This leaves him feeling rushed and less effective. [20:15] Tim discusses the preparation he puts into a podcast interview. He may be flexible during the interview, but it has to follow the flow he planned, or he is unhappy. Marc notes that Tim does more show prep than anyone he knows. It makes him feel ready when he understands how he will relate the conversation to his audience. [21:54] Tim wants his podcast guests to know he respects their time, and that he took the time to prepare for the podcast. He is pleased when they compliment his work. Tim’s Stress Reactions are postponing direct action, magnifying boredom of projects, and favoring thought over action. Tim needs to take breaks. [22:39] Page 14 is Making Decisions. Tim has a primary emphasis on a thoughtful and reflective approach to decision making, considering distant as well as immediate consequences of his decisions. He makes routine decisions quickly. His need is a preference for the time to make thoughtful decisions, exhausting all possibilities. [24:46] Tim worked for his last company for 13 years, holding four or five positions. Every three years they moved him to another position. That was his need for variety being met. When Tim buys a car, it takes a long time, starting with considering if a scooter will work. He sometimes gets analysis paralysis. [26:27] Tim’s Causes of Stress: pressure mounts when he is hurried in actions and rushed in making judgments. He dreads the unforeseen, and can needlessly postpone or evade a decision. This is why a layoff for people like Tim is good. He has to make a decision. [28:00] Reactions to Stresses are becoming indecisive, fear of the unknown, and unnecessary caution. Decision making can be worrisome for Tim. At this time he worries about his lost salary. Planning helps him feel more comfortable. [29:42] Page 15 is the Need for Freedom. Tim’s Most Effective Behaviors are consistent and cooperative. He has insight into how people think and feel. He likes convention. His Strengths are restrained, consistent, and cooperative. His Need includes a preference sometimes for a personal touch. [30:29] He projects individuality against a background of predictability. He puts color in his spreadsheets and designs his own Powerpoints. He is somewhat creative and wants to do things his way. [31:23] Tim’s Cause of Stress is a lack of predictability in the environment. Tensions can mount if he is denied some freedom of thought and action. Tim wants predictability his way. He will need to think about this working for himself. [32:54] Tim’s Possible Stress Reactions are anxiety and emphasis on undue restraint. [33:01] Page 16 is Expectation of Myself and Others. Tim’s Most Effective Behaviors are natural confidence and positive self-image, focusing on his Strengths of Personal Charm, being Pleasant, and his Confidence. These have made him successful with his podcast. People readily accept to come on the Podcast. [34:27] Tim’s need is to be in situations and surroundings that do not place unrealistic demands on his abilities. His relationships should be emotionally supportive. Causes of Stress are that his strong self-image makes it difficult to accept blame. Criticism must be balanced with praise. [35:51] Stress Reactions: unrealistic expectations, sidestepping uncomfortable situations, and avoiding critical self-evaluation. [36:25] Marc has a homework assignment he will email to Tim about reevaluating times when he got mad, and what he could do differently. Tim will also need to pick out 8-15 Strength Phrases that he strongly accepts. More assignments will be based on these. Tim will be able to authentically tell who he is, not what he has done. [37:48] Next week Marc will cover with Tim his preferred work styles and his lifestyle grid.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-370 – Tim and the Anxiety of Running  (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4370.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello my friends, and welcome to episode 4-370, of the RunRunLive Podcast.  How are your summers going?  Manage to take some time off from work?  Spent some time walking on the beach with your family?  Good!  You have to know when to refresh yourself, right?  ‘sharpening the saw’ is what Steven Covey called it as one of his 7 Habits.  It’s also Ironman and Ultra season.  Congrats to all my friends who did IronMan Lake Placid last weekend.  Looks like they got good weather for it.  I see many of you are struggling with the summer heat.  I feel sorry for you, but we still haven’t gotten the bad summer heat yet.  We had a couple days with the humidity last week, but this week it’s been cool and beautiful, like spring weather.  I’ve been grinding away on my training.  I am fairly certain for an October marathon.  I put in a couple 40+ mile weeks since we last talked.  That’s on 4-5 days of running.  Coach had me do two hilly 1:30 runs both weeks on Tuesday and Wednesday.  A hill workout on Friday and a 2:15 long run on the weekend. I’ve been mixing them up between roads and trials just to stay strong.  Legs feel fine.  Some small aches and pains but nothing indicative of a problem.  My engine continues to be strong.  My heart rate is really strong in these runs.  The only thing I’m lacking is the big volume and the speed.  Interestingly I’m training without any fuel.  Just water.  2 hours is about what I consider my fuel threshold.  I’m strong right through these mid-distance runs with no fuel. That bodes well for my training capacity.  I got a great benefit from my 5 at 5 project in June.  I’m rolling out of bed early and getting these workouts in because the cadence just feels right.  I’d usually wait ‘til the afternoon or evening, but this is great to get them done and out of the way.  Today I’ve got the interview with Tim ‘JP’ Collins about anxiety.  I try to bring on guests that are interesting to you folks.  I had listened to Tim get interviewed a few times and really like his message.  I wanted to bring him on and delve, specifically into the dynamics of stress and anxiety around amateur In section one I’m going to talk about a revolution in data that is about to happen for training. I’m a technology geek and I think we’re on the verge of a whole new era in training data. In section two I’m going to talk about the concept of life-long learning.  Here’s an anxiety tip.  When you are out on your vacation, walking on the beach, I want you to select a small, smooth stone.  Something interesting.  About the size of a large coin.  Something you can put in your pocket.  This is going to be your comfort stone.  It’s a totem.  When you are reflecting on a time that you were at peace with the universe take out your comfort stone and play with it.  Roll it around in your hand.  Rub it.  Feel it.  Associate that peace of mind with your stone.    Now you can carry it with you into stressful situations in your pocket as a reminder of peaceful states.  You can have it with you on your desk for stressful phone calls.  It’s a nice, physical reminder that there is peace in this world and it is in your control. … I had a good run with my red raspberry bushes.  They kept me in smoothies and enlightened my oatmeal for a couple weeks.  But, they seem to have petered out now.  But, the black raspberry bushes, the ones that I did not plant.  The ones that I have been cutting back and fighting with for years, they are full of ripe berries. Let’s review.  The bushes I planted, cultivated, watered, tended and fertilized had some berries.  But, the weeds that I fought with my machete, that found their way on to uncultivated land, that compete with the other bushes and wildlife – those bushes are resplendent with bounty!   What’s the lesson?  Sometimes you have to give in to what fits in that environment and stop trying to control everything.  Enjoy the berries. 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.. (although, fyi, my MarathonBQ book is on audible) We do have a membership option where you can become a member and as a special thank you, you will get access to member’s only audio. 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.   … The RunRunLive podcast is Ad Free and listener supported.  We do this by offering a membership option where members get Access to Exclusive Members Only audio and articles.

Tim is also a sought after speaker on the topic of anxiety & stress and injects humor and authentic stories from his own life into his speaking. When Tim isn’t speaking on the podcast or on stage he works with companies running “Workplace Wellness Retreats” helping to reduce stress and build happier people and thus more productive workplaces. Tim has adopted a minimalist lifestyle and frequently travels with his young family.  Tim JP Collins Host of The Anxiety Podcast ~ Less Anxiety. More Life!

Like I said I’m training for an October race.  Probably the Maine Marathon.  I’m going to interview the Race Director today and see if I can weasel a comp entry out of him!  I love old marathons.  I’ll probably run the Wapack Trail Race.  I might do it as a two-person relay with Teresa.  She and I are still planning to climb some mountains but she’s super busy with school so we’ve scaled back those expectations. I caught a big bunny in my varmint trap.  I didn’t eat it.   Let it go.  I was hoping to get the woodchuck.  This week the woodchuck forced the gate to my garden and set up shop.  Somewhere between Sunday and Wednesday that critter dug a den under a bed and ate everything.  I threw a bomb down his hole.   Haven’t seen him since.  Hope that doesn’t make the tomatoes taste funny.

(via Wikimedia)    In this episode, our lovely and larger-than-usual editorial table discusses “Vultures,” a work of fiction written by Alex Pickett.  In the winter of 2010, Alex Pickett volunteered for six months at a state park in Alaska, which is where he got most of the information for this story. Think cold: as in the characters, the stark landscape, the miles of snow. As our podcast newbie Maureen puts it, “Vultures” fosters a great discussion among our team. We all agree that the characters were natural, and created a gripping tension that made us keep reading. Despite the hopeful and heroic (?) ending, we were left contemplating self-awareness, desperation, and a darker view of people as both predators and prey. Does “Vultures” get a thumbs up from PBQ? Listen and find out. One thing’s for sure, this one was a “Tuffy!” Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to let us know what you think with #woodengravestones As always, read on!   Present at the Editorial Table:   Kathleen Volk Miller Jason Schneiderman Marion Wrenn Tim Fitts Denise Guerin Sara Aykit Maureen McVeigh   Engineering Producer: Joe Zang  

Last episode of 2016! Tim talks about the holidays, New Year's Eve plans, and this week's episode with Maddison Mutschler. When Tim was asked to provide some insight for this conversation, this is what he had to say: “Madde's episode is a great representation of what I wanted this show to be. It's completely full of great stories and laughs while also including one of the most heart-wrenching, deep and emotional conversations I've had with a guest so far. I can only hope it encourages more people to speak out as there just isn't enough dialogue in this country regarding struggles that so many of us share.” Topics range from religion and Madde's idea of heaven (includes nachos & Christian Bale), first dates/first kisses, societal pressures, anxiety, creating & appreciating art, family, dreams, getting arrested, depression, refusing to operate a vehicle ever again, how crazy rumors of one's sexual orientation can affect life in high school, and much more. Enjoy, everyone! Have a very happy and safe transition from 2016 to 2017!

When Tim told Stéphane during their first deep conversation that he has a condition that causes him to disassociate from his feelings and yet he kept feeling compelled to be around her and act differently with her, she couldn’t help but think that they had something special. Unfortunately, once they did get together, it was over before it even really began.  Email: podcast@baggagereclaim.com  Instagram | Courses | Events | Blog | Membership

A few months ago I received an email about applying to be on the launch team for Tim Tebow's new book called Shaken.  When I saw the book was about "discovering your true identity in the midst of life's storms" I knew this was something Heads 'N Tales listeners had to get their hands on. Fortunately, I was chosen to be on the launch team and I finished reading my advanced copy of the book last week.  Before I get into my thoughts on the book, it's important to get some background on where I am coming from and what my religious views are.   Playing catch with Tim during Jets training camp in 2012 To say that I am a Tim Tebow fan is an understatement.  I joined the Tebow bandwagon back in 2008 when he and Florida Gators lost to Ole Miss but went on to win the rest of their games, which included the SEC championship over top-ranked Alabama and the national championship game against Sam Bradford’s Oklahoma team.  The wins and the Heisman Trophy weren't what sparked my interest in Tim, it was the speech, later called The Promise, that he made to the media following that loss to Ole Miss (featured below).  Many critics called him a cry baby, but I saw it differently.  I saw a guy who wanted it more than anyone else out on the field.  A guy who had a passion for the game that reminded me of my own and a guy that was just plain-old fun to watch.  When Tim was at the highest of highs winning national championships and a Heisman trophy, I was at my personal lowest of lows.  The fall of 2008 was the first time I couldn't play football in over a decade (check out episode 1 to learn about my story). I went from being a National Honor Society student in high school to being put on academic probation during my first semester at Rutgers.  I was insecure because I was no longer viewed as an athlete, nor did anyone care that I ever was.  This feeling had a huge impact on my relationships at the time and on my confidence.  I looked to Tim as someone who achieved everything that I ever dreamt of as a kid and never thought he would ever feel the way I did at that moment.  I watched the documentary on Tim which showcase his journey to the NFL called Everything In Between about 100 times (featured below, a must watch!) and obviously read his first book, Through My Eyes.  I connected to Tim's drive, work ethic and ability to silence all his haters time and time again.  Despite all this, I never thought he would ever have to feel the pain  I felt after I was told I could never set foot on a football field ever again.  I missed playing more than anything in the world, but“what do you do when something that has defined you your entire life is gone?” This is a question that Tim answer's in his new book because he now does know how I felt.

Although I am obviously a biased fan of Tim Tebow, I am nowhere near on the same level as Tim's religious views.  As far as my religious beliefs go, I am a confirmed catholic who only goes to church on Christmas Eve with my grandmother.  I believe in higher power, but I am still not exactly sure what that means to me. Shaken is definitely heavier on religion side than Through My Eyes, but I felt it was tastefully done in such a way that anyone, religious or not, could enjoy and use the messages written in the book.  I thought Shaken was a perfect book for someone like me because it features practical wisdom from Scripture and insights gained from both Tim and other inspiring individuals. To put it bluntly, I never felt like I was having the bible forced down my throat.  Tim does a great job describing how one can use religion to help them overcome any of life's obstacles and discover a new identity.  Below is my abbreviated take on the book: Release Date : October 25, 2016 Pages: 224 Difficulty: Easy read/short chapters (my favorite) Readers will get behind the scenes insights like the "Tebowing" phenomenon, decision to not change position away from playing quarterback, injuries and relationships with coaches and teammates just to name a few. Top 3 likes: Tim’s vulnerability (not perfect) Explanations, personal stories and other peoples stories to drive points home. Relate-ability, ex. It is normal to question God’s plan, even Tim does sometimes. Top 3 Learning Points: Value of finding your Identity in God because everything else is temporary. “What do you do when something that has defined you your entire life is gone?” Finding the courage to take a stand for something/anything! Healing yourself along the way and getting messages from God Fighting the urge to compare yourself to other people Tom Brady example Social media highlight reels Just be the best you! Favorite quote: “Think about what would be if there was no God.  Instead of there being purpose in the pain, pain is meaningless.” If you are a fan of the podcast, you will be a fan of this book!  I already find myself using some of the tools Tim teaches in Shaken.

So, yeah, the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. Heard anything about it? When Tim and Anthony recorded this week's show, they'd heard a little bit about the trailer, but it hadn't been released yet. Never ones to be deterred by a lack of information, they pressed forward with the show anyway, talking about a trailer they hadn't seen yet and analyzing the new Force Awakens movie poster they did see. The Force is strong in this week's Inside The Mouse Castle. Here's what else is going on: Disney Infinity will have a Star Wars: The Force Awakens play set that will launch on December 18 to coincide with the film's release. You know Tim couldn't resist sneaking that one in. Benicio del Toro (Guardians of the Galaxy) is expected to play the villain in Star Wars VIII: Insert Subtitle Here. We think it's a rule now that if you do a Marvel Cinematic Universe film, you have to do a Star Wars film. Spider-Man will start making appearances at Super Hero HQ, inside the old Innoventions building at Disneyland, beginning November 16. This makes our spider sense tingle. Was Steven Spielberg serious when he said he'd make a fifth Indiana Jones movie with Harrison Ford? We don't think so, but it's fun to think about. Mark Ruffalo will play Bruce Banner/Hulk in 2017's Thor: Ragnarok. The rumor is the movie will bring in elements from Marvel Comics' Planet Hulk story line. In an online Q&A, James Gunn shared a few details about Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. He confirmed Nebula (Karen Gillan) will play an expanded role in the movie. Meanwhile, Groot will remain Baby Groot, much to the chagrin of Drax (Dave Bautista). Gunn is also hopeful Stan Lee will be back for another cameo appearance. Walt Disney's Fantasia will be back on the big screen for a limited engagement in November to mark the film's 75th anniversary. Tim and Anthony would like Miley Cyrus and Nicolas Cage to see it with them. They'll explains. For details, visit www.Fantasia75.com. Bob Iger has been inducted into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame. Apparently, Disney-themed toys have really caught on. It was inevitable. There will be a Descendants 2 on the Disney Channel. To quote Darth Vader: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

As I travel around the world, I’ve had the great fortune to meet some truly outstanding people. And of all the amazing people I’ve met, one of the most important to me has been Tim Price. When Tim talks about investing, I listen. He was first described to me as “one of the few people inside the City of London who gets it”. His investment ethos is second to none, and it’s why he’s ran a successful wealth management firm for the last 25 years. In this podcast, you’ll learn Tim’s insights into gold, value investing, and the tremendous danger of complacency. Enjoy the conversation.

Aleks Krotoski returns with a new series exploring our lives in a digital age and on April Fool's day she explores whether mischief is an essential part of the online world. Mischief performs many functions in our society; the individual can use it to find their place in the world, while it can also level the playing field between the powerful and powerless. Follow and join the conversation on Twitter with #digihuman and find even more background on http://thedigitalhuman.tumblr.com/ . There's never been a greater engine of mischief than the internet. Aleks hears first from writers Tim Wright and Rob Bevan. Like all writers, procrastination and distraction are constant companions but if your speciality is digital storytelling, the temptation to play tricks can be irresistible. When Tim decided to construct a hoax for Rob, little did he know just how consuming it would become and how it would affect how they go about storytelling. We also hear from US history professor T Mills Kelly about his course 'Lying about the Past' where he prepares his students for sifting through all the historical mischief making online. Lewis Hyde is a respected author whose titles include Trickster Makes This World or How The Disruptive Imagination Creates Culture. He explains the role of the trickster in myth and legend and what we can learn from these figures about the evolution of the digital world.Throughout the programme Aleks will also hear from psychiatrist turned stand-up Taylor Glenn about what's like to be a professional mischief maker. Producers Victoria McArthur and Peter McManus.

“Rinse, repeat, and live to fight another day.” These are the prophetic workouts that represent the cutting edge of athletic training and functional fitness. I catch up with former Los Angeles Lakers Strength and Conditioning Coach Tim DiFrancesco to discuss matters of great importance to weekend warriors everywhere: how to get the most out of your body and steer clear of nagging injuries and body breakdown that leaves many people on the sidelines or under the surgery knife before their time. Tim has retired from the grind of the NBA with many great insights and a tremendous database of assessments and exercises that help fitness enthusiasts of all levels correct functional weaknesses to improve performance and heal or prevent injuries. Tim’s best insight from his NBA experience is that c *hampions don’t have any special magic formula, but rather an ability to lock into a winning routine,* “nothing earth shattering,” that allows them to maintain an awesome functional fitness baseline. The best athletes establish a comfortable, do-able pattern of the right exercises without overextending themselves and breaking down. Learn more about Tim’s interesting customized approach to client programming at TDAthletesEdge.com ( http://tdathletesedge.com ). It starts with an assessment of how well you perform basic movements (the same thing he did to NBA draft prospects for the Lakers to see who’s been trained well and who has high injury risks before a multimillion dollar contract decision is made!), and then a consequent prescription of exercises to address areas of injury, pain and discomfort ― making them stronger without over-stressing them. Short of getting some custom programming from an expert, Tim offers listeners a cool Top 5 list of areas of most concern/injury risk, followed by a go-to exercise to improve function. Here is the list: * *Ankle/plantar fascia/Achilles:* Do calf raises (off the edge of a step or any elevated surface) * *Patellar/quadriceps area near knee:* The mighty wall sit is the isometric movement here! * *Quadriceps/hip flexors:* The “Sprinter” exercise where you lay on ground, bring knee to chest, and apply counter pressure with your hand * *Adductor (groin):* The “side laying bottom leg lift” aka the “TD Jane Fonda” move! * *Hamstrings:* Partner-assisted Nordic hamstring curl is the best, or a bridge pose with legs extended out instead of the usual near-to glutes position. This informative show will give you a complete understanding of the cutting edge concepts in functional fitness, injury prevention and peak performance. *TIMESTAMPS:* Tim DiFrancesco formerly worked with the LA Lakers, now has a cutting-edge fitness program. [04:58] If you're enjoyable to be around, if you add positive energy to the room, how can you lose? [08:39] Feeling strong in what you do physically is a good way to feel empowered emotionally and in everything else. [08:55] How does one optimize minimizing injury risk? [11:52] One important aspect is the degree of difficulty of the regimen. [15:47] The goal is not to crush you. The goal is to see if we can build you up and make you last forever. [19:46] Twelve weeks is a physiological window for you to be able to feel like you’ve put in the right effort. [23:54] It's not just muscles that get strong and more robust and healthier. The common denominator is strengthening. [25:09] An example is the meniscus of the knee. If it has been overtaxed, Tim would NOT have you working through pain. [33:43] Hip replacement surgery is only the last resort. Even surgery for torn meniscus. [38:27] When Tim films a client, what is he looking for as you squat or do a pushup. [45:06] Each client is different but there are some guidelines that are offered here. [51:22] There’s a golf standard hamstring exercise called Nordic hamstring curl.
