Let’s break down the roster for opening day tomorrow. Why Dean over Thomas? Why Jake Woodford in that 13th pitcher spot? We talk about the taxi squad and how that will work for teams at home and on the road. Brian Walton explains why the “alternate camp” could be very important and a few “surprises" to him. Why are Liberatore and Zack Thompson there? We also talk about the minor league Spring training timeline too. Listen here:
Okay, so you’ve decided you want to get better at standing up for what you believe. You’re going go hone your skill at defending your faith and sharing the Gospel. And you’ve discovered the world of apologetics—the discipling vindicating Christian truth against challenges and objections—but now you’ve hit a roadblock… because you’ve discovered (gasp) there are different ways of going about this. See, on the one hand you’ve got “classicalists” who swear by the Kalam Cosmological Argument, and on the other hand you’ve got “evidentialists” who do a great job of giving evidence to prove the “case for faith.” But then on the other other hand, you’ve got presuppositionalist guys like Joel Settecase, who don’t seem to get along well with either of the other groups. So who’s right? Which apologetics method is best? This episode is going to give you the answer. Or at least, it will give you more grist for the mill of your mind, as you work out for yourself what school of apologetics thought you want to align yourself with. That’s because today two Christian apologists are going to have a robust dialogue about methodology, each one presenting his own preferred method and interacting with the other. Specifically, you’ll find out… The backstory of Dean Meadows, how he got into apologetics and what prompted him to launch the Daily Apologist. What exciting work the Daily Apologist is up to right now, and how you can get involved. Why Dean takes a more evidentialist approach to defending Christian truth, why he uses classical arguments—and why he isn’t a presuppositionalist. Whether Joel and Dean think that evidentialism and presuppositionalism are irreconcilable. How Joel "switched teams” from classical and evidentialism to practice #datpresup. Which approach is more biblical, and which one has cooler hashtags. Much more. Joel’s guest today is Dean Meadows. Dean serves as the Executive Director of The Daily Apologist. He holds a B.A. in Theology from the Bear Valley Bible Institute International; B.S. in Bible/Ministry from Amridge University; and an M.A. in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. He's currently pursuing a MSc in Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Dean served in the United State Marine Corps Reserve for six years and deployed to Iraq in 2006. He is married to Hillary Meadows and they have two kids with very pretty names: Nora-Grace and Wren-Mercy. It’s time to dive into this fascinating topic. Get ready to think.

If you are an entrepreneur who is currently using Facebook Ads or is planning to use them, this episode is one that you don’t want to miss. In today’s episode, Dean shares his personal experience on how one mistake cost the suspension of his account. He outlines the events that led to the suspension, the steps he took to appeal his case, and how he was able to get his account reactivated. He also gives his takeaway from the experience so you can avoid going through the trouble and not have the same effect on your business. Stay tuned until the end of the episode to hear from James about how you can increase the value of your business. You may not be doing anything wrong at all, but you can still face problems. – Dean Holland Outline of This Episode - [03:45] What happened to Dean’s business - [12:45] The reason why Dean is still using Facebook Ads - [21:03] Getting the sales letter reviewed by a compliance company - [30:45] Takeaways from the whole ordeal - [35:15] Why you should begin with the end in mind Why Dean’s Facebook Ad account got deactivated A couple of days ago, Dean received an email from the Facebook Ads Team informing him that his account has made a violation of its policies, which lead to deactivation of his account. This wasn’t the first time that Dean’s account has gotten suspended because it occurred last December, where it was ruled as a mistake. Although it was never specifically stated which policy was infringed, Dean’s appeals were left on deaf ears, and his entire business management got terminated, preventing him from creating any ads for his business. What the compliance agency recommended Luckily, the employees that were handling Dean’s advertising had contacts with people who deal with compliance concerning written text, and Dean sent out a copy of the sales letter. The recommendation of the compliance agency was to avoid focusing on statements that mentioned either personal attributes or overpromising results. Either of these two instances may have been the cause of the violation. Dean suggests to anyone who uses Facebook Ads to avert from using these kinds of statements to prevent problems. Lesson from the whole experience Dean realized that he was far too dependent on only one channel for a source of new customers. Instead of investing in only one platform, he should not have stopped using other channels. Entrepreneurs should learn how to diversify their traffic sources, create redundancy in the systems that they currently have, and become aware of the climate that they operate in so they can understand the macro picture of things and be able to adjust accordingly to day to day things that may come up.

On today’s Just the Tips, it’s just Dean and I sharing a podcast episode for two for Valentine’s Day. This is actually the one place where I can tell Dean I love him, because he’s actually taken a hiatus from social media lately. At first I thought I wasn’t seeing his posts, but he tells me it’s been an intentional pullback from social media. Why? Find out on this very special, intimate Valentine’s Day episode. Dean goes dark Back in December, everything had been going well for Dean, when suddenly he got really sick. He tried to go into work, but had to turn back home and ended up spending about six days in bed, unplugged from the world. At that time, he’d also just dropped and smashed his phone, so his new phone had none of his contacts, none of his apps, etc. And what he realized was that he was always reaching for it, even though there was nothing to do on it. And it was then he realized he had an addiction to his phone. Taking a break After realizing that he had a habit of checking social media compulsively, Dean decided to go cold turkey. For three weeks he didn’t check his social media, barely checked his email and went online as little as possible. And what he found was that his head was feeling a lot clearer. What he realized was that he was just passively consuming “other people’s crap,” and not focusing on what he thought was important. If this sounds like you (it sounds like just about everybody), this episode is for you. You’re not good at multitasking One of the effects of leaving social media, Dean found, was getting a whole bunch of time back. All that time he wasted on social media, but then also all the time he lost by losing his focus. Humans are not good at multitasking, no matter what anyone says. Studies show that the human mind is better off focusing on one thing at a time in order to be most productive. And so by turning off his phone or by not checking his email or Facebook incessantly, Dean was actually able to get his focus back. Figure out what’s distracting you Now that Dean has found that he’s much more productive not going on social media or not picking up his phone every 20 minutes, his next step is to make a list of everything that causes a distraction. Phone calls, notifications, Slack notifications, etc. And he wants to figure out which of those are essential to him, and which he can remove so he can take his focus to the next level. It’s important to set expectations with people that you’re not always going to be available at the time, so you’re not ghosting your friends and family. But try removing some of the noise, and you’ll be amazed by how productive you can be.

On today’s episode of Just the Tips, it’s Dean and I flying solo again, and we start off by acknowledging Dean’s, um, contributions to the show, before discussing how I, for once in my life, am all talked out, having just made six months worth of video content. So on today’s episode, we check in on what we’re both working on, take note that Dean is still way behind on our book-writing contest, and discuss such matters as how to be more productive and how to send Dean subliminal messages. And believe it or not, despite all of that goofing around, we dig into some ways you can be more productive. Embrace change or face stagnation Early on in the episode, as we were checking in with each other on what’s new, Dean confessed a few things to me that I think a lot of entrepreneurs can relate to. Aside from the fact that I’m smoking him in the book contest, he also confided that despite 2018 being the year of simplicity, as we’ve agreed on this podcast, he’s getting ready to launch about seven new projects. And in doing so, he’s essentially reinvented himself and his company. It’s something a lot of entrepreneurs struggle with: To stay the comfortable course or veer off on a new path if that’s what your gut is telling you to do. The change can be painful, but as Dean says, he’s really excited for what’s coming next. When at first you don’t succeed just lower your standards Dean copped to being only about 600 words into his book, which is supposed to be done by the end of the month. But as we discuss on this episode, a lot of gurus and marketers like to pass off leaflets and collected blog posts as books. As Dean says, there was one “thought leader” teaching people how to transcribe webinars and call it a book. So really, anything could be a book in the end. As I tell Dean in this episode of Just the Tips, if at first you don’t succeed, just lower your expectations! How to make yourself more productive with time chunking As listeners of Just the Tips know, Dean and I always have a lot of things going on at once. So do you, because as entrepreneurs we tend to take on a lot. But one thing I’ve recognized as being very helpful for getting things accomplished is something called “time chunking.” Essentially, you want to lay aside chunks of time for one specific task. For instance, this week I’ve been working on my videos. And that time is set aside strictly for videos. If, instead, you “task switch,” meaning you’re working not only on different things but different kinds of things, you’re always going to be taking yourself out of the mindset needed to really focus and get one thing done. So you end up slowing yourself down a lot, and you’ll see a steep dropoff in your productivity. Batch your work together to make it stretch Peng Joon is the master of time chunking, and I learned a lot when I heard him speak. He says that he actually makes 90 days of content in just three days, and then he doesn’t have to worry about it for another three months. That inspired me for my approach to video and content making, so I had a video crew come in and record a ton of videos all at once, so I’ll have all of this content to roll out in various forms (video ads, social media videos, memes, etc.) Time chunking can not only force you to set aside the time to get work done, it can get you into the right frame of mind to be creative. I highly recommend this approach for any Just the Tips listeners out there who feel their productivity slipping. Outline of This Episode [3:17] What is time chunking?

Dean Seavers is the President of National Grid, US. Prior to leading the US portion of National Grid, Dean worked in leadership at companies such as Ford, GE, United Technologies and Tyco. National Grid is one of the largest investor-owned energy companies in the world - covering the UK and the Northeastern part of the US. They have 16,000 employees – about 10,000 that are customer facing and the other 6,000 or so that are in management roles spread out across three states. National Grid serves 20 million customers. What are the workforce trends Dean is paying attention to? The first trend is technology-- we all need to be tech savvy. We can use technology to drive better efficiency and productivity through things like data analytics and automation. Dean says, “The reality is, I think, when you spend 80% of your time doing routine things, you don’t have the time to always focus on the things that truly add value for customers and employees”. Dean is also paying attention to clean energy sources. National Grid is a big proponent of driving change in the way we consume energy. They are looking to solar, hydro and wind power to improve our impact on the environment. Another trend Dean is paying attention to is self-driving vehicles and electric vehicles. He believes transportation needs to be cleaned up and there are a lot of great advances coming that can help do that. Dean’s advice for leaders is to listen and understand employee base.

This week we find out how Dean Salakas built up his company, the Party People from a AUD 500,000-per-year business with 3 employees to the powerhouse it is now, turning over AUD 4m per year with 40+ employees. You might know Dean from his appearance on the Aussie entrepreneur TV show, The Shark Tank, where he actually turned down a AUD 400,000 offer for a share of his business, The Party Store. Dean learnt a lot from the experience and shared some great insight with us. See below for some of Dean’s best advice: ** Don’t throw everything at online. In retail, online sales currently account for 6-11% of overall sales, and at current growth rates it is forecast to be only 20% in 10 years. ** However, you need to be good at both online marketing and conventional marketing. A lot of people start their buying journey online but end it in the store. ** Plan plan plan! If you don’t have a long-term plan, when you hit a problem it’s harder to cope with it. ** Understand your cycles. In Dean’s case he has to plan for the spikes in demand around dates like Halloween and Christmas… what are your spikes in demand? ** Learn how to talk investors’ language. If you want your business to grow to a serious degree you’re probably going to need outside investment, but if you don’t fully understand what they want, you won’t get their money. ** If you’re a small business with ambition, be prepared to do everything. You won’t have the resource to outsource the majority of your tasks. ** Dean’s quickest path to growth is to master your marketing. In this episode of Business Brain Food you will learn: ** Is digital so important for retail? ** The benefits of being open to change ** Dean’s incredible journey ** Why Dean turned down a AUD 400,000 offer on Shark Tank ** The best strategies for raising funding ** What didn’t work for Dean Resources mentioned in this episode: ** Ben’s Business Exceleration conference.

Hey there, James P. Friel again and I’m so thankful you’ve joined Dean and me for another episode of Just The Tips. This one is pretty special because it features our crazy friend, the Queen of Kapow, Liz Benny. I really wanted to bring Liz on the show because her story is one that is truly inspirational. I know you hear that a lot these days, but success stories don’t any better than this. Liz was as down as down and out gets. All kinds of trouble was going on in her life - and then - she decided to change it. And change it she did. You’ve got to hear Liz’s story. If she can do what she did, you can do what you need to do. I’m sure of it. Working her way toward success in a moldy, cold apartment over 12 months’ time. When things are bad you only have two options. You can resign yourself to it and sulk and moan. Or you can do something about it. Liz Benny decided she’d do something about it simply because she knew that if she didn’t her life would continue to follow the negative, incredibly painful path it was already taking. Liz tells her story on this episode of Just The Tips and you need to check your pulse if you listen and are not moved to go out and change your world. The power of envisioning your future to be terrible - unless you take action. One of my goals for the Just The Tips podcast is to give you, the listener, practical and powerful tips taken directly from the stories of our incredible guests. When I asked Liz Benny what it was that enabled her to make such a tremendous change in her life in only 12 months she said that some people are motivated by the carrot, while others are motivated by the stick. She is a stick person. She needed a very negative consequence to keep her going. What motivated her was to envision what her life would be like in 12 months if she did not make changes. That terrible future reality is what motivated her to do whatever it took to make her life different. What she was able to accomplish is truly impressive and Dean and I want you to hear Liz's story on this episode. How Liz Benny became the Queen of Kapow. And what the heck does it mean, anyway? One of the funny things Liz has become known for is that she is the Queen of Kapow! It was in one of her very first online videos that she used the word “kapow” and from that moment on it has stuck with her. The word has become so associated with her that her followers often take pictures of themselves with the word “kapow" and send it to her as an encouragement. What does she mean when she says it? That's a great question and one that we wanted answered on this episode of Just The Tips. Liz has a pretty special definition of the word and you'll be very intrigued by how she explains it. Life as a course creator is a living hell if you don’t do it right. One of the things Liz created that caused her business to explode once she was initially successful is an online course that teaches others how to build their own online course. Her course is unique in that it teaches you exactly what to do, step by step. Think of it as digital hand-holding as you work your way through the process of putting together their own video course. But Liz stresses that if you don't set your course up properly it will drive you crazy. She doesn't want that for you and neither do we, so please, whatever you have to do, listen to this episode to learn how you can do it the right way.

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/roadtosparta In 490 BCE, some masochistic Greek guy named Pheidippides ran for 36 hours straight from Athens to Sparta to seek help in defending Athens from a Persian invasion in the Battle of Marathon. In doing so, he saved the development of Western civilization and inspired the birth of the marathon as we know it. Even now, some 2,500 years later, that run stands enduringly as one of greatest physical accomplishments in the history of mankind. Dean Karnazes, my guest on today's podcast, came up with the crazy idea of honoring Pheidippides (and Dean's own Greek heritage) by recreating this entire ancient journey in modern times. During his run, Karnazes even abstained from contemporary endurance nutrition like sports drinks and energy gels and only ate what was available in 490 BCE, such as figs, olives, cured meats and even some stuff called "mastic gum". Then he wrote about the whole experience is his new book "". The new book is intriguing, comical, sometimes tear-jerking, and certainly thought-provoking and entertaining, and Dean is probably even more intriguing. Get a load of this guy... TIME magazine named Dean one of the “Top 100 Most Influential People in the World.” Men’s Fitness hailed him as one of the fittest men on the planet. Stan Lee called him, “Super Human.” He's an acclaimed endurance athlete and NY Times bestselling author, who has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits. Among his many accomplishments, he has run 350 continuous miles, foregoing sleep for three nights. He’s run across the Sahara Desert in 120-degree temperatures, and he’s run a marathon to the South Pole in negative 40 degrees. On ten different occasions he’s run a 200-mile relay race solo, racing alongside teams of twelve. He has swum the San Francisco Bay, scaled mountains, bike raced for 24-hours straight, and surfed the gigantic waves off the coast of Hawaii & California. His long list of competitive achievements include winning the world’s toughest footrace, the Badwater Ultramarathon, running 135 miles nonstop across Death Valley during the middle of summer. He has raced and competed on all seven continents of the planet, twice over. In 2006 he accomplished the seemingly impossible by running 50 marathons, in all 50 US states, in 50 consecutive days, finishing with the NYC Marathon, which he ran in three hours flat! In 2011 Dean ran 3,000-miles from the coast of California to New York City, averaging 40 to 50-miles per day (one day covering more than 70!). Along the way he stopped at schools to speak to students about the importance of exercise and healthy eating. When passing through Washington DC, he was invited to run through the White House to meet with First Lady Michelle Obama and be honored for his tireless commitment to helping this country get back in shape. Dean and his incredible adventures have been featured on The Today Show, 60 Minutes, The Late Show with David Letterman, CBS News, CNN, ESPN, The Howard Stern Show, NPR’s Morning Edition, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, the BBC, and many others. He has appeared on the cover of Runner’s World, Outside, and Wired magazine’s, and has been featured in TIME, Newsweek, People, GQ, The New York Times, USA TODAY, The Washington Post, Men’s Journal, Forbes, The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, and the London Telegraph, to mention a few. Dean is the winner of an ESPN ESPY and a 3-time recipient of Competitor magazines Endurance Athlete of the Year award. Dean has also raised millions of dollars for charity and was awarded the prestigious Community Leadership Award by the President’s Council on Physical Fitness & Sports.

At a health conference, two years ago, I met a giant, 6'5" basketball player - a beast of man - who swore that his entire fitness routine was comprised of yoga and basketball. I scoffed at this, swearing that the guy must be sneaking away to the gym to hoist a barbell or do explosive plyometrics... ...but then, just a few months later, I met another guy (a very ripped and athletic guy) at a different health conference, and this guy - named Dean Pohlman - completely destroyed me in an obstacle course competition, then informed me afterwards that his training primarily consisted of... ...you guessed it: yoga. So as you can imagine, I was somewhat intrigued with how one could use yoga to do things like maintain a very aesthetic body and build athleticism, and I had Dean on a podcast episode called "". That episode was so popular and helped so many people get fit with Dean's special flavor of yoga, that I decided to get Dean back on today's episode to talk yoga, mobility, athleticism, and much more! Dean is the founder of Man Flow Yoga, a fitness-centric style of yoga dedicating to helping anybody who wants to get ripped with yoga to not just get ripped, but to also get massive increases in their flexibility, core strength, endurance, balance, and bodily awareness. It’s basically yoga for people that want the physical benefits without the lifestyle change of becoming a hippie. You hold the postures much longer, more emphasis is placed on technique (instead of the spiritual), and the workouts are more catered to the physical needs of guys (although his workouts are equally accessible to women). Dean was a former collegiate-lacrosse player when he discovered the potential that yoga had to help improve physical fitness for athletes. He rejected the traditional approach to yoga, however, and in 2013 created a brand of yoga that catered to the more physical fitness-inclined individual. He is the author of the #1 bestselling Yoga Basics for Men eBook, and he has been featured in the Huffington Post, Fox 13 Tampa News, Austin KXAN News, Ben Greenfield Fitness (of course!), and many more top-ranked podcasts. During our discussion, you'll discover: -The five things Dean does every morning to create a perfect day... -The one breakfast Dean has every morning, 365 days a year... -What happens when you hold a pose in yoga for 60-90 seconds instead of the standard 10-30 seconds... -Why yoga will create a muscular imbalance in your back and shoulders, and what you can do about it... -How to develop power and brute strength with yoga... -Why Dean doesn't get into the spiritual side of yoga much, and my disagreement with Dean on this... -Why yoga doesn't increase your mobility, and what you can do about it... -Dean's top tool he uses to quickly remove muscle knots... -How Dean uses his elbow and other body parts to massage himself prior to yoga... -My crazy home massage routine that includes infrared, wholetones music, CBD, ayurvedic oils and more... -Why you should push the "reboot" button on your body each year (and how to do it)... -And much more!
