HOWDY FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS I mentioned in the previous episode from Quebec, Canada that I was going to Finger Lakes in Upstate New York after my short visit to Canada. I went there to attend a TBEX conference for travel content creators, which was really fun. I was only there for a few days and didn't get a chance to explore the beautiful area around the lakes, so I didn't record enough for an episode. Soon after the conference, I jumped on a flight headed to Texas where another conference was waiting for me. And the flight wasn't without challenges that left me stranded in New Jersey… My flight out of Ithaca was delayed, which is not news. But I decided to get to the airport super early that day to catch up on some work while I waited, which was supposed to be only a few hours. But my flight was delayed once. Then twice. Then again. Then my connecting flight left without me. So, I had to spend the night and pay for my hotel without United Airlines helping me out with the inconvenience. Anyway, par for the course for a vagabond like myself, I guess. I finally made it to Texas so let's get rocking in Austin! KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD Austin's unofficial slogan is "Keep Austin Weird". It became a thing in 2000 when a local librarian, Red Wassenich, used the phrase on a local radio show. He later began printing bumper stickers and launched the website KeepAustinWeird.com. In the spirit of weirdness, let's get to know the city a little better with some facts about where I am. WEIRD FACTS ABOUT AUSTIN, TEXAS At some point, Austin was entirely underwater. But that was a little while back — some 66 million years ago. It was also home to 10 underwater volcanoes, which is why Austin's cliffs are made of white, crumbly rock known as "Austin Chalk." Austin is ranked one of the most dog-friendly cities in the U.S. with its 12 off-leash parks, dog-friendly restaurants, and hotels. An average of 20 million people visits Austin every year. This is more than the annual visitors to Rome (4.2 million), Hawaii (8.3 million), and even London (17.4 million). Austin is the capital of Texas, and the Texas State Capitol building is the second largest state capitol building in the United States, after the United States Capitol in Washington, DC. Which just goes to show that everything is bigger in Texas. U.S. News & World Report named Austin the best place to live in the U.S. in 2017. Austin has its very own Bigfoot named Hairy Man who allegedly lives on Hairy Man Road. Austin is home to the largest bat colony in North America. Around 1.5 million bats emerge from under the Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge just before sunset every day from March to October. And I got to experience that! And, most importantly, Austin has the only legal nude beach in Texas. I didn't get to experience that... AUSTIN MUSIC But what the city is most famous for is its vast and rich music culture. Austin's official motto is the "Live Music Capital of the World" because of its 200+ live music venues and over 2,000 bands and performing artists calling it home. The city hosts the annual South by Southwest conference and festival for parallel film, interactive media, and music that takes place every year in mid-March. The music part of it — South by Southwest Music — is the largest music festival of its kind in the world, with more than 2,000 acts performing. What's called "Austin music" in its modern form emerged in 1972 when a new form of country music exploded on the scene — a scene that turned its back on Nashville. That same year, Willie Nelson did the same, when he left Nashville and moved here. In the following years, Austin gained a reputation as a place where struggling musicians could launch their careers in front of receptive audiences at informal live venues.  HOUSE OF SONGS Austin is also home to The House of Songs, a homely retreat that invites songwriters from around the world to the United States to craft their music. Here, musicians can share in the universal language of music through collaborations and live performances, and the house is designed to bridge cultures, build friendships, and cultivate peace. It was all inspired by a collaboration between Troy Campbell and Danish singer-songwriter Poul Krebs, who happens to be a household name in my home country. 100 points to you if you have heard of him before… if you're not Danish. Coincidentally, a friend of mine has been playing music with Poul Krebs for years, and when he heard that I was going to be in Austin, he introduced me to Troy Campbell. HOUSE OF SONGS I met Troy outside the House of Songs house and we immediately hit it off. He was excited to tell me about how he and my friend Poul came up with the concept of House of Songs. Troy and Poul got the idea for House of Songs at a writer's retreat on the Danish island, Samsø. And in 2009, they started a one-year project to bring Danish artists here to Austin. “At a South by Southwest festival, I was approached by a few people who were looking to invest in the arts and culture scene and knew that Austin was the perfect place for it. They heard that I had an idea for a creative music retreat where musicians can create a community of shared inspiration. I had spent time in Denmark and Scandinavia collaborating with local musicians and a few came over here. The investors loved the idea, and the rest is history.” Troy told me the impact the Danish musicians had on the local music scene in Austin. They were so intrigued and inspired by the Scandinavian sound and soon they had an army of Scandinavian musicians coming to the retreat. NOW IT'S NOT ONLY AUSTIN But now it's not only Danish artists that come here. And actually, The House of Songs is not only here in Austin. Campbell developed a plan to spread the concept to other parts of the world. “We are going on 9 years now and have spread to 14 countries and 3 locations. We are just about to open our latest location in Haarlem, New York. We are working in partnership with Art Space, a massive arts organisation who have helped us secure an apartment to curate the artist we want, to do international co-writing residencies,” House of Songs has evolved into a non-profit organisation and has grown far beyond what the pair had originally planned. Troy is always keen to voice his appreciation for Denmark, the Danish music scene, and of course Poul for the positive influences.  “I want Poul to hear every song that is sung in every house, because for me as his friend, I know that it delights him. He's not about the money-chase, success to him are his friendships and his family. This helps inspire me that the level of the house is kept high”. The Austin-based House of Songs is situated just outside the hustle and bustle of downtown Austin in a calm neighbourhood near a river. Troy and Poul wanted each of the houses to feel authentic to the city they are situated in, thus this house ‘feels Texas' according to Troy. Troy took me on a guided tour of the location, giving me great insights and anecdotes about every part of the place. Every room has at least one instrument in it as a way to allow musicians to be able to "reach out and grab an instrument at any time". DANISH INFLUENCE When new musicians arrive at the House, Troy makes sure there is always food to welcome them — something he experienced when he first visited Denmark to attend the music retreat on Samsø Island.  “When I arrived, I was a little out of sorts trying to figure out how I was going to involve myself, as I felt all the musicians were more talented than me. I was a bit nervous. Everyone was out by the time I arrived, but I was greeted by a little food parcel and a lovely welcome note written by Poul. I thought it was a really nice touch and it immediately made me feel comfortable. Poul gave me some cheese, dark bread, fruit, and his note, saying ‘welcome brother'. And this is exactly what I give to all newcomers here at House of Songs”. WHEN TROY MET A DANISH SUPERSTAR Troy told me a funny story about the first time he met Poul Krebs — one of the most recognized singer-songwriters in my home country. I mean, everybody knows him, and we can all sing along to his songs. He sings in Danish so not many people outside of Denmark know him and his music, and when Troy visited Denmark for the first time, he had no idea he was famous. Then Poul put on sunglasses and people started recognising him. “I didn't know who he was!” Troy laughs. “I thought he was just a really cool guy, and I loved his music. But back in 1999 you didn't really Google people – and if I did everything would be in Danish. After we hung out and started co-writing in Texas, he invited me to Samsø Island.” When Troy arrived, he still had no clue who Poul was. On the island, everyone was relaxed, and nobody had any ego, so Troy didn't suspect anything. For the first gig in Denmark, they played together they both hopped on a boat to the venue. And when they got off the boat, Poul put on his sunglasses and then EVERYBODY started to recognise him. People swarmed him.  “What? Are you famous?” Troy asked Poul. “I do really, really, really okay”, Poul jokes. That was when Troy found out that Poul was a big deal. And what Troy expected would be a small show with a few hundred people (at best) turned out to be a great show to 4,000 loud, cheering, and adoring fans. Hilarious! If you want to know more about the House of Songs go to their website and be sure to watch the 25-minute PBS documentary (which won an Emmy!) about the concept.  In the next episode, I hire a small open-top sports car and drive to Houston. Lots of exciting and interesting stuff to come next week, don't miss out! My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See you!

Today we’re talking to one of Jesse’s clients, Troy D., a chiropractic coach that helps others to build their business and lifestyle.  He became so focused on helping his clients he started to forget to help himself.  Prior to the training, Troy says he couldn’t even say he was struggling because he wasn’t even trying.  He sampled a lot of other programs but nothing stuck because it wasn’t resonating with him. He needed a system that would help him to produce the results he wanted.  When Troy entered Jesse’s group he felt like he had joined a family.  While he ultimately got the marketing training he needed, he says he got so much more.  Leaning into the program and listening to what others were doing really inspired Troy.  His new motto is ‘trust the process, do the work’ and he encourages others to commit and go. -- Are you looking to connect with a group of like-minded habit-hacking people?

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0264, And It Will Be About How To Manage Your Money Effectively As A Construction Contractor Today's Guest Article Is From Damien Troy  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you’re unsure how to manage your money effectively as a construction contractor, then look no further than this article. There are a number of easy ways you can manage your money effectively, including working alongside an architect who produces cost-effective designs, to investing in high-quality tools from day one. Whilst short term loans such as those available at Wizzcash.com are available if you find yourself in a personal financial emergency, managing your money effectively as a construction contractor is paramount to make a decent profit. You can find out exactly how below! Design Effectively Even though managing your money effectively as a construction contractor can be difficult, it’s not entirely impossible. The first step to managing your money effectively is to source an architect who designs cost-effectively. This is because changes made during the design process often cost less to implement than those made mid-construction. Regardless, doing this ahead of time will help cut costs. It’s no hidden secret that saving on small costs from time to time will make a difference in the long run, so why pay more than you should? Instead of opting for the first solution you come across, take the time to shop around for the best places to purchase your materials and equipment. Even though you may have solid relationships with various contractors and suppliers alike, it’s far smarter to compare prices and start new relationships that simply sticking with what you have. Invest In Quality Tools Upfront The next step to manage your money effectively as a construction contractor is to invest in quality tool upfront instead of opting for those with a cheaper price tag in order to save money. Not only can cheaply-made tools waste money, but they can waste invaluable time too, which can put your business at risk. However, by putting your money towards something that will last longer than purchasing the same poor-quality tools repeatedly you can rest assured that your tools will not let you down. Invest In Technology Investing in technology is just as important as investing in quality tools upfront. From the small technology investments such as implementing an electronic payment system to the large like Viewpoint Enterprise Cloud software, advanced technology investments can help you save in the long run, and ensure accuracy. Reduced Wasted Materials Whilst all these points are important to manage your money effectively as a construction contractor, ordering the right amount of materials at the right time is key to saving money. By reducing wasted materials, you will not only eliminate material loss, but you will also reduce labour waste by ensuring subcontractors are scheduled at the relevant time. At the same time this will help avoid paying employees standing around for no real reason. By staying on top of your expenses, you can rest assured that you won’t be faced with any surprises, and knowing where your expenses stand from day one will significantly help you keep track of your funds. From investing in technology and quality tools upfront to taking the time to shop around and not pick the first offer you come across, you will not only be able to save money, but you will be able to plan ahead for the future too.

Troy Spry is a speaker, author, and certified life and relationship coach and “Reality Expert”.   Troy’s blogging has taken him to new levels as he has released two books “Teach Me How To Love: Why What You Don’t Know Will Hurt You” and his first E-Book entitled “Teach Me How To Love: A Man’s Journey Toward and Through Marriage.” Troy’s mission is simple: to inspire individuals to first become better people so that they can become better mates, create better relationships and ultimately help to build better communities. He is a firm believer in the fact that you must live life intentionally and on purpose! Guiding Principle, Quote or Mantra Lust will get you there, but only love will keep you there. Because love is represented by action. When You Tripped Up When Troy’s mother was dying, he lived a couple hours away and his twin sister was providing the majority of the care for their mother.  He tripped up when he made light of all that his sister was doing to care for their mother. And until he stepped into her shoes and provided the care himself, he didn’t truly understand. As a result of this trip up he now goes the extra mile to understand his partner’s perspective on things. The “DUH” moment that changed your partnerships forever When Troy and his wife were expecting their daughter they got in a big fight because Troy had not put together the baby crib yet. Their daughter was not due for a few months so he didn’t know what the hurry was. Turns out it was because of what putting the crib together meant to his wife. This is a great story…check it out. What women need to know about men… Men are different. We think differently. We behave differently. So ladies seek to understand from his perspective first before condemning him. Embrace those differences instead of fighting them. What most men don’t know about women… A lot of women see a man being vulnerable as strength. But men don’t know that, so we think we have to be hard and tough and seem so strong all the time. What’s really sexy to a lot of women is when a man can be more vulnerable, because she sees security in that.  To a woman vulnerability is not weakness, it’s intimacy. Proudest moment in partnership Troy values his partnership with his wife the most. Everything she touches with him is gold. Her support for him is priceless. What is the best partnership / relationship advice you have ever received? What you invest in, is what will grow.

After graduating from University with degrees in both commerce and clinical psychology, Adam began his career as a forensic psychologist in maximum security prisons, then headed into the world of advertising. He positioned himself as an expert by writing a book (“The Advertising Effect - How to Change Behaviour”) and landing some TV appearances. When Troy asked him if he needed to overcome any self-doubt in order to do this, Adam replied that surprisingly, he had no problems with it. He believes that being different is sometimes better than being right. And that people often want to hear a new or different opinion to break through all the noise out there. And luckily, Adam claims to have both an opinion and a voice! Ten years ago, it dawned on him that both psychology and advertising are in the business of changing behaviour. He has fascinated by this and wanted to explore it further. Adam explains that he has a love/hate relationship with consumerism. He explains that advertising is good for the GDP, but on the other hand, it creates anxiety, depression and false promises. The idea of becoming a consumer psychologist meant that “...the more I talk, the more I can inform people on how marketing and advertising works, how they try to change your behaviour and what you can do about it.” How to Influence People’s Behaviour Troy asked Adam for some tips on how we can start influencing potential customers’ behaviour. They briefly touched on Robert Cialdini’s principles of persuasion and Adam said that it doesn’t matter who you follow, the important thing is to set yourself a foundation of how humans work, then build into that. If you like a framework, stick to it. Adam has found that the two key factors in consumer behaviour change are: 1) Motivation 2) Ease If you graph these components on an X and Y axes, you can see that the higher the motivation and higher the ease, the more likely people are going to do what you want them to do. As a marketer, it’s difficult to increase someone’s ‘motivation’, so the aim is to increase the consumer’s ‘ease’ of choosing you over a competitor. The exception to this would be aiming to increase ‘motivation’ by creating something desirable enough that there aren’t any competitors. Adam and Troy discuss the “Share a Coke” campaign as a perfect example of the above strategy. It’s the campaign where Coke asks you to buy a Coke for a friend. This was one of the most successful campaigns Coke has ever rolled out. Adam attributes it’s success to the fact that Coke is asking people to do them a favour - enlisting the principle of reciprocity. Consumers get a sense of ownership and are rationalising Coke as being worthy of buying for a friend. At the 15 minute mark of the interview, the boys discuss the Australian Jeep campaign - another hugely successful marketing campaign that Adam was involved in developing. The premise of the campaign was to make an extraordinary purchase sound ordinary. Interestingly, although this has been the most successful social campaign in Australia, no money was spent on social media advertising at all! (See the shownotes for links to the ads.) Back to Adam’s tips for how a brand can influence consumerbehaviour… Firstly, Adam says to ignore the consumer and think about what you want to stand for. Build your assets and communicate what it is you want your company to stand for - your proposition and goals. You need this to be crystal clear. Once you understand this and are fully consistent with your suite of assets, only now should you start to think about how you are going to market your product or change behaviour. To do this, you need to ask the following questions:  - What’s my business goal?  - Whose behaviour do I have to change to reach my goal?  - What are the barriers between motivation and ease to achieve these goals? Finally, you can work on developing your strategies from these answers. On Thinkerbell… Thinkerbell’s proposition is: Measured magic - scientific enquiry meets hard-core creativity. Adam loves ideas and creativity and finds the whole advertising world fascinating. He gets so much satisfaction from building an agency from the ground up - developing the name, the logo, finding a suite of clients etc. He thrives in mess, chaos and being unstructured (which kind of goes hand in hand with starting a business!) and believes that when starting a business, it comes back to being clear about what you stand for “...then so much of your decision making is taken care of.” Tune into the 26:30 mark of the interview where Adam gives some sage advice on owning and embracing your weaknesses. “Don’t try too hard to get it all perfect.” This was such a fascinating interview!

    Troy Hicks Associate Professor of English Education, Former Middle School Teacher (Central Michigan University)     Segment I – Background and Inspiration   Tell your story. Where are you from and how long have you been teaching? What classes have you taught?    – Troy teaches at Central Michigan University. He is also involved in the National Writing Project in his area in Michigan.  To backtrack, he graduated from MSU and taught middle school at a rural school in Concord, Michigan. He eventually went back to MSU to earn his graduate degree and eventually made his way into higher education.     Who has helped you in your journey to become a master teacher?    – He had a mentor from Day 1 at his middle school in Concord. Chris Miller was the 7th grade science teacher and Troy was the 7th grade Language Arts teacher.  Chris was focused on the students. He would joke that he was so student-focused that he didn't begin teaching science until mid-September. When Troy was deciding to stay in the classroom or going to graduate school to pursue Education, Chris gave him the most timely and sympathetic encouragement to pursue goals beyond the four walls of the school.     It is important for other teachers to know that we all have had setbacks in the classroom. Identify an instance in which you struggled as a teacher and explain what you learned from that experience.   – He felt he had read all the right books during his undergraduate experience about reading and writing workshops. When he got into teaching, like many first and second year teachers, suddenly the book became his curriculum. He eventually learned to let go and give students more choice. Ultimately he learned to strike a balance between what he had to do that was mandated by the curriculum and what he felt the students needed or wanted to do.   Why is literacy important? – Troy believes that if we don't frame literacy as a thinking process, then it is really difficult to make the case for literacy with math, science and social studies. We want students to be critical thinker and have substantive conversations.    What is one thing that you love about the classroom?    – The thing that he talks about with his pre-service students and what he took away from his middle school years is the moment of discovery. To sit with a student, conference with him or her, and see the lightbulb go off, is a small moment that he really values.   Segment II — Digging into the Teacher Bag of Goodies While there are a number of classics, Troy tends to recommend the book that he is reading at the moment.Thrive: 5 Ways to (Re)Invigorate Your Teaching is a book that he reviewed. It is written by Meenoo Rami, a young, energetic teacher that is doing great things in the classroom. He found it refreshing, clear and concise.    What is one thing a teacher can do outside the classroom that can pay off inside the classroom? -- Troy believes that you have to take time for yourself. Put it on your calendar because you might not do it. make time to read. Watch the show you've been meaning to watch. Go for walks. You have to invest in yourself .  Is there an internet resource that you can recommend which will help teachers grow professionally? – www.digitalis.nwp.org has layer upon layer of resources. The NWP Digital Is website is an emerging and open knowledge base created and curated by its community of members. We gather resources, collections, reflections, inquiries, and stories about what it means to learn and teach writing in our increasingly digital and interconnected world.    Provide a writing practice that is effective?  – One minute of conferencing is worth 15 minutes of comments on the paper.
