Ask any boss what is his or her least favorite task at work and they will probably say, "Hiring". Why? Maybe you have heard the phrase, "Good help is hard to find." Having to go through resumes, schedule interviews, and not find the right candidate— the boss quickly realizes that maybe a recruiting agency would just be better. Also, hiring can often feel like playing a game of chance. For instance, your company is running fine right now, but you want to be optimal. However, optimal looks scary because of risk; the person may be wrong for the company, he or she may be horrible at the job, or money could be lost. Risk is always going to be a possibility. Maybe the issue isn't so much that they keep finding the wrong person, but rather they aren't attracting the right people to their companies. When you think of careers that are easy to get into, being a Navy SEAL probably doesn't come to mind. Long hours, risk of death, and extreme physical discomfort aren't on most job candidate's bucket list. That is the point. The Navy does not make it easy to become a Navy SEAL. Why? They only want the best of the best. If candidacy was easy, America would have the worst Special Forces in the world. Yet, companies don't hire this way. Many cycle through employees like someone changing a shirt and wonder why they can't find good hires. Making hiring difficult is not a possible method, it is the only method. Cream rises to the top and so do the best hires. Those that want to succeed will not be daunted by the challenges of being hired, but will gladly embrace them. If a company doesn't know who to hire or how to hire, it's possible they haven't thought through their mission, vision, and values. In fact, if someone asked employees what those were, they probably wouldn't even know them. If employees don't know them, how can the right person be expected to be attracted to the organization?

...but it's the little things, the little things, not expectations that make life worth living, worth living. Those were the lyrics I was hearing in my head over and over again as I processed the previous two weeks of drama at our house. My husband had discovered this song by JJ Grey and Mofro, and had suggested we work on it to perform with one of our bands. The first time we practiced that song, it was everything in me to sing it without tears dripping down my cheeks. The soulfulness that JJ Grey infuses as he performs it, through his tone, his phrasing, and his emotion, is captivating and heartbreaking. I hadn't heard of JJ Grey before we started learning that song, but it didn't take long for me to find a few songs that were equally powerful. As I performed it for the first time at a gig, I closed my eyes as I reached the chorus: Glory glory, hallelujah The sun is shining, shining down Glory glory, hallelujah I’m alive, and I’m feeling, feeling fine. I opened my eyes and the restaurant had become very quiet. Many of the conversations had stopped momentarily, and I noticed the host and a server standing at the edge of the dining room, listening. For the first time that evening, I had the attention of the busy customers and staff. Finishing the song, I could see from the expressions that the song hit its mark. Later that evening, as I was visiting with another musician who had come to support us, she asked me about the song. “I could tell it was really meaningful to you, Sarah.” I couldn’t stop thinking about the response of the audience to that song as I tried to go to sleep that night. It struck me how powerful lyrics can be, and I started to wonder what it is about songs, lyrics, poems, and other forms of art that reach into your heart and soul and grip them in fierce joy and devastating sorrow. What is it about music and lyrics that make us BELIEVE them? Why is it that we believe that there is truth in them, without any knowledge of the songwriter's credentials? Is he a psychoanalyst? How does she KNOW? Think about the song you listen to when you’re sad, when you’re happy, the music that helps you process experiences. They tell stories with messages in them, and for some reason, even with no data or research to support the assertions, we believe them. Why? Maybe it’s the fact that they speak to a human condition, common themes that we experience in life, isolation, pain, love, heartbreak. All the things we experience on a unique, individual level, but that resonate across all human life - even as we say: “You don’t understand” to someone who tries to help. Isn’t it puzzling that we respond in that way, to our parents, to our friends, “you don’t understand”, but then listen to a song written by a total stranger and find great comfort that he or she understands, even when the lyrics have nothing in common with our actual, individual experience? My friend Trent doesn’t believe in empathy, and I can understand why. He says that when we say: “I know how you feel,” we’re shifting the conversation and making it about ourselves. How can we possibly know how someone feels if we cannot hear the internal voice that’s screaming at them? And yet… we know, thanks to neuroscience, that we often cannot help mirroring - reflecting the emotions of another person. Which is basically the definition of empathy. But that’s not actually FEELING what someone else is feeling. It’s reflecting our version of their emotion, based on our own experience and internal messaging. I do believe in empathy. I believe some people can actually feel what another is feeling, in terms of emotion, otherwise music and lyrics simply wouldn’t have the impact they have on us. And I don’t believe empathy is something we can or should teach. I would much prefer to help people learn compassion by learning to observe the emotions in others, and maybe have a sense through those observations about their happiness and pain through our own lens of experience. Lyrics and music speaks to our humanity, our common language of the spectrum of emotion from euphoria to sorrow, bringing us comfort by demonstrating, through the songwriter and performer, that we are not alone in this world, that someone, somewhere went through something similar and came out on the other side. I’m a big believer in identifying theme songs for different situations in our lives, selecting songs that speak to us when we’re feeling insecure, sad, lonely, or absurdly happy and satisfied. I’ve found that when I have my theme song in my head, James Brown’s I Feel Good, before I step in front of an audience for a keynote, my energy is almost immediately transferred to the people in front of me. What will your theme song be the next time you’re stepping out of your comfort zone? What lyrics will you have in your head that bring you comfort, that you believe to be absolutely true, to know you’re not alone as you step into the spotlight? --- Join me and an extraordinary group of professionals at the 2020, 4th annual No Longer Virtual retreat (limited to 50 participants) on March 12 & 13th in Chicago.

I watched John Kennedy get shot on TV in 1963. The video of the murder at Dealey Plaza wasn't released until 1970. Yet both my brother and I both remember it clearly. Why? Maybe a false memory, or the Mandela Effect was to blame.
Every family has their vision of how their life will go. Sometimes it all works out, but other times it all fails. Why? Maybe because they did not follow God's plan for the family. Preacher is going to talk a little bit more about this and give us some rules for the family.

In response to the end of 2019, I reviewed the rejections that I had received this year as an artist. Besides self doubts and down feelings, I believed that there must be more that I could unpack from these unsuccessful results. Although it is known that receiving rejection is a common experience for most of contemporary practicing artists, within the art community, we barely mention and share about our sense of failure in our art career. Why? Maybe rejections are too embarrassing to talk about. Or perhaps we try very hard to forget about them. By the end of 2019, I refuse to internalise these rejections solely again.For the questions: Why was I rejected? What should I think about the rejection? How could I emotionally cope with the rejection?, I invited four curators, writers and visual artists: Sophia Cai, Diego Ramirez, Nikki Lam and James Nguyen to share their experiences in receiving rejections in the art. I hope our conversation would be helpful for many other artist listeners.** Our conversation went for nearly 2 hour long. In an organic order, the four speakers came in and left the conversation at various points due to their availabilities on that day. Therefore, it was divided into two episodes. Also, I kept some background noises in the sound tracks, such as the sound of door bells, of chewing, of a kettle boiling, etc.. I apologise if they might be too much of annoyance for the listeners. It was because 1, it was difficult to separate them from our voices; 2, I did want to convey the domestic and relaxed atmosphere where our conversation was conduced.Anyway, enjoy this special podcast conversation!

So where do you think you're going when you go into meditation, drop into mindfulness or energy space? We have it backward: the fully present space holder, healer, teacher, facilitator is our truest self - we're leaving our truest self and returning to mind-thought space. Why? Maybe we can do that differently? Humility for Healers is here Human Design is here
Men fight for survival, dominance, and personal gain, but they also fight just for fun. Anthropologists have found that the more conflict is culturally condoned, the more boys and men tend to fight, roughhouse, and engage in arguments simply because it feels good. Why? Maybe it's because making fun of or wrestling a friend is easier than telling him you love him, and sends a version of that same message. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everyoneneedsalittle/support
Just some facts!! Day 3 in the year 2019.... LA has already had 2 major car chases. Why? Maybe this episode will unveil a little more about why I’m obsessed with car chases!!!
For centuries we have commended her...but hardly ever imitated her. Why? Maybe because we shouldn’t. What is the reason that someone, who’s been cheated out of everything by the Church, feels compelled to give all that she has to the Church? Something is wrong here. Let’s find out what it could be.
Is Frozen Cherries a metaphor? Should we make this podcast a musical? Probably not Sarah sleeping better, taking supplements, less hot flashes, Julia bought flax seed oil to try and vitamin d – her cholesterol is fabulous 2018 goals – weight loss program for Julia Sarah altering her diet as well, adding chia and flax and reducing dairy one step at a time by taking yogurt out (try adding frozen banana and frozen cherries) Bible Study - Estrogen and Brain Power Estrogen may reduce alzheimers – lets hope this still holds true How to save your memory: Anti-oxidents Nutritional supplements Movement learning – need to move your body to create new pathways in your brain, like learning a new dance or dances Socializing is also a big part of keeping your brain healthy. Content learning – also learning new things. Like us learning how to podcast. Feel like you lose your mind during menopause. We have to stand up for ourselves as women in the medical field. Example of woman who’s doctor only took her concerns seriously when her husband said something. Sarah feels like she can’t quite get her brain moving as quickly as she used to. Hoping it’s just temporary. Julia feels like she has Menopause brain – similar to toddler brain (when her daughter was a 2-3) Can’t recall words as quickly. Why can we remember all the trains in Thomas The Tank Engine but not the more grown up things?? WHY? Maybe it’s the shifting priorities – maybe it’s the shifting amount of things you can actually hold in your brain. Difference in distractions between how we were raised vs. how our mother’s raised us. We’d love to hear comments/thoughts on this. Man-o-pause – is it a thing or just more about More about changes at an older age. Most fearsome thing for men is a slump in sexual drive. Can we make a sweeping generalizing that all men care about is sex? It is equally defining for them as it is for women to stop being able to have children. “Oh I’m done” feeling. Being self reflective and self knowing is critical to approaching this change – all changes involved in getting older. (Reviewing how much we enjoyed Betty’s conversation last week.) No education about what to expect when you are expecting Menopause. Much like when you are told to start getting mammograms – you should be required to have The Talk about Menopause. JUST START THE CONVERSATION! Discussion of vaginal reconstruction services. Um what? Going to the GYNO and be surrounded by pregnant women is odd and sometimes really hard when you are mourning the loss of your child bearing years. Wonder how the lack of estrogen affects the lizard brain – does it put it to sleep Your brain shifting is temporary – you will get your snappy brain back! How’s your antioxidant drawer? Mention of Tab and Fresca!
Apple has said they’ll stop reporting on unit sales. They want to shift the focus to their services biz rather than the product biz. Why? Maybe coz their product is becoming commoditised. Just as spas are. #pivot #businessstrategy #innovation #spaindustry #apple

Listen to our episode and find out now!2.) Is SoulCycle Worth The HypeSoulCycle, the brand that is behind the whole spinning revolution, has a different kind of standing in people's eyes. Their loyal base of spinners would probably swear their lives on SoulCycle's amazing classes.

The geneology of Matthew 1 occurs in the chapter right before the events of the Christmas story. It’s the family tree of Jesus, linking him to both King David and Abraham. But this isn’t any normal family tree. Matthew seems to go out of his way to include some people who have been given some pretty shady labels. Why? Maybe its because they aren’t just PART of the story of Jesus, but their sin is the POINT of the story of Jesus!
1862, The Tonkawa tribe awoke to an attack by the Shawnees, Delawares, Wichitas, Kickapoos and a few other tribes Why? Maybe it was because they acted as scouts for the Army in attacking other Indian tribes, or their tradition of eating their enemies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Why are you so afraid? So timid? So fearful? If you're anything like me when I first started out, you feel these emotions. But have you ever asked yourself WHY? Maybe it's because you feel that you don't know enough. However, in my experience, most businesses don't know what they're doing either. So lucky you! Warren Buffett once said that he too used to be scared of the real world when he was in college. But when he graduated, he said, he soon realized that most people in the real world were rarely qualified to do anything BIG. And that's the sad truth about business. People are either too lazy to become knowledgable in their field, or they are simply just misguided. But if you put in the effort that the other 99% of people don't, then you WILL stand out from the crowd.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
We never knew that when we were writing the GREAT BIG PRESSURE COOKER BOOK that we'd hit the best-seller lists. And that we'd sell out out 3 times on QVC. Why? Maybe it's because of recipes like this sweet potato hash made with sausage and dried cranberries. Mark's gonna make it in an electric pressure cooker and Bruce is going to make sure he does it right.
Do you struggle with defining your "Why"? Maybe you don't know how to put it in words.... On this Episode, Stephen Shedletzky shares valuable actions steps that you can take to help discover and define your "Why". Often times we find ourselves just "feeling" why we should do something; but you will clearly understand how to articulate your reason to live, your "why", when you put to practice what you hear on this episode. Stephen shares how he learned to "Show up to improve instead of to prove". He really does live a Life in Purple. Stop struggling and stop making excuses. What you say is What you become.
After a suspenseful delay, we finally continue our fascinating (to some?) discussion of pudding. If you've had enough pudding already, skip ahead to 4:00. If you missed the last episode, you may want to start with that one first. We'll wait. Go on! Right. Now that you're finally back (Jesus!), you can start by hearing John's (perhaps predictably) angry reaction to the existence of lava molecules. Then Luc reaffirms that pudding (or puddinging) should be a verb. Why? Maybe we need more words with a double i-n-g. Or maybe not. Finally, we break down and look some shit up, and the results are mind-blowing. If your world has also been rocked by our etymological discussions, let us know with an email (maskedman@limitedappeal.net).
