In this episode of Beyond the Tech, Bryan and Alex discuss The Digital Board's EQ/IQ assessment framework. This robust tool, honed over two decades with input from leading academic institutions including Harvard and MIT alongside interviews with over seven thousand senior tech leaders, finely discerns the intricate balance of deep technical skills and the more expansive leadership qualities crucial for senior technology leadership roles.  Bryan expands on the relationship between IQ (intelligence quotient) and EQ (emotional quotient), proposing an equation where EQ + IQ drives XQ (execution quotient). Bryan's thesis is that achieving a harmonised balance between cognitive intelligence and emotional intelligence is key to driving effective execution. This balance facilitates engagement and alignment, leading to execution at scale and speed.

Dr. Laura welcomes Soren Kaplan, bestselling author, founder of Praxie.com, and Columnist for Inc. Magazine, to talk about his latest book, “Experiential Intelligence”. Soren talks about the impetus behind writing his book and defines Experiential Intelligence, or XQ, as a key factor in the road to success, alongside Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Emotional Intelligence (EQ).Soren shares examples of experiences from his childhood that have shaped into skills he uses today to explain XQ. Experiential Intelligence, or XQ, draws on experiential elements that give us understanding and abilities beyond what simple intelligence and resumés can explain. How we have lived matters to who we are. Dr. Laura and Soren Kaplan dive into elements of his book, explore how people learn and grow, and detail how leaders and managers can learn to assess XQ when hiring. Soren's insights offer a way to look at the whole of a person and what they bring to the table, as well as opening each of us up to discover skills and attributes developed from our experience to aid us moving forward.“Usually we're talking about different assets other than emotions and IQ. We're talking about different attributes that we develop, usually based on our experience. And you and I were just talking about those experiences that we had in our home life that gave us practice doing certain things that give us these higher order abilities to navigate uncertainty or be resilient or understand group norms that exist underneath the surface of teams, whatever those things might be. And that's what I mean by experiential intelligence. It's your mindsets, your abilities, and really the know-how and skills that you develop over time through experience.” Soren KaplanAbout Soren Kaplan:Soren Kaplan is a Wall Street Journal bestselling and award-winning author, a Columnist for Inc. Magazine, a leading keynote speaker, the founder of Praxie.com, and an affiliate at the Center for Effective Organizations at USC's Marshall School of Business. Business Insider and the Thinkers50 have recognized him as one of the world's top management thought leaders and consultants.His latest book, Experiential Intelligence, reveals how life experience contributes to real intelligence on par with IQ (intellect) and EQ (emotional intelligence) and can be leveraged for breakthrough in leadership and innovation. Concepts from the book have been profiled in Harvard Business Review, Psychology Today, Forbes, National Public Radio, and other media.Soren has advised and led professional development programs for thousands of executives around the world, including Disney, NBCUniversal, Kimberly-Clark, Colgate-Palmolive, Hershey, Red Bull, Medtronic, Roche, Philips, Cisco, Visa, Ascension Health, Kaiser Permanente, CSAA Insurance Group, American Nurses Association, and many others.

Es scheint, als würde die Welt immer grauer - buchstäblich. Datenerhebungen deutend darauf hin, dass menschengemachte Objekte an Farbe verlieren. Autos, Häuser, Möbel, Kleidung, Logos sind anscheinend immer öfter weiß, schwarz oder grau, anstatt bunt. Und auch wenn Farbe im Spiel ist, kommt sie meist dezent und nicht knallig daher. Dieser Trend heißt Greige, eine Mischung aus grau und beige. Und er macht auch vor Kinderzimmern keinen Halt. Auch in Katalogen tragen Babys mittlerweile öfter beige als bunt. In dieser Folge fragen wir uns: Warum entscheiden wir uns immer öfter für die Farblosigkeit? Zum einen assoziieren wir greige mit Luxus: Grau und cremefarbene Einrichtung gilt als schick und klassisch. Aber das kommt nicht von ungefähr. Diese Ästhetik ist unter anderem von Klassismus, Sexismus und Rassismus geprägt (Plus falscher Annahmen über die Antike).Zum anderen halten wir greige für beruhigend und neutral. Ist das verschwinden von Farben also eine Reaktion auf die gesellschaftliche Überstimulation und der politischen Angespanntheit? Jetzt reinhören!

Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning

Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast and PART 4, our FINAL part, of our Review of Jose Silva's Mind Control Program. I'm Andrea Samadi an author and an educator, who like many of you listening, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind ANY high-performance strategy proven to increase our results in our schools, sports, or modern workplaces. If there's something NEW that I come across that can help us in any way, I'll investigate it, connect it with the most current research, and then share what I learn with you here. My goal with this 4 PART review of the popular program from the 1980s and 1990s, The Silva Method[i], is to help all of us to learn something new to refine our current meditation practice whether we are working in our schools to improve learning, in our sports environments for improved results towards a specific goal, or in the corporate workplace to generate new ideas. I wouldn't have picked this book to review if it hadn't made such an impact on the world, like Napoleon Hills' Think and Grow Rich book that currently sits as our most downloaded episode of 2022 after we reviewed it last January to kick off our New Year. Before starting this review, that I hoped would give us a running start to 2023, I had no idea the concepts I would learn each week, would be so powerful, deep, and life-changing requiring more thought than usual while writing each episode. I began this 4 PART book review the end of November, around Thanksgiving in the United States, and shortly after releasing the first episode, I began receiving emails from around the world from people who were interested to learn more about The Silva Method. Some were remembering it from the 80s/90s when Jose Silva ran this program globally, and others were asking me where they could find a live seminar. It was Dr. Hasan Ibne Akram, EPISODE #260[ii] who held up an old copy of The Silva Mind Control Method book, sharing how it had impacted his life, jogging my memory of Jose Silva, who I had heard of years ago, while selling seminars in the motivational speaking industry. Then my good friend Hans Ajay from the UK, urged me to sign up for the full program through MindValley[iii], where the course sits today after Vishen Lakhiani (the founder) revised and improved it in this current version. Hans wrote “It'll be transformative” and little did I know just how transformative it would be. As I'm writing this episode now, and the final part of this review, I'm nearing the end of Vishen Lakhiani's Silva UltraMind Course[iv] through the MindValley website. I can now see that this is a program that you never really complete, like I noticed with Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich[v] book, for Hill intended the book to be read more than one time for the concepts to be mastered in one's lifetime.  Jose Silva's book is exactly the same way, and his online UltraMind Course, the experiential side of the program (that consists of the lessons from his book, mixed with meditations) bring the pages of The Silva Method to life in a way I never imagined just by reading the book. I've got to say, this course has really blown my mind, and expanded my thinking in a way I hadn't imagined at the start of this review. REMEMBER: “When a person learns to function mentally at this deeper level, creativity is enhanced. Memory is improved and a person is better able to solve problems.” (Jose Silva). Today I plan finish the review of The Silva Method, and while I won't be going into every chapter, I've picked the ones that I think are relevant to help all of us with “The Basics” of what Jose Silva intended us to learn. Then we will take these basic concepts that Jose Silva found to be transformative, (like my friend Hans Ajay noticed) and APPLY them to our daily life, connecting the science to our creativity and innovation, using Dr. Andrew Huberman's most recent podcast episode on “The Science of Creativity: How to Enhance Creative Innovation.”[vi] Finally, I will provide clear examples of innovation and creativity from three of our past guests; one in each of the sectors we study here, our schools, sports environments and corporate workplaces with the goal to inspire YOU to enhance your own creativity for improved results in 2023, using the Silva Method. I just wish Jose Silva could have seen the mounds of research that prove what he knew to be true with his Meditation Method, and that he wouldn't have to disguise it as “bio-feedback” in the corporate world today. DISCLAIMER: I want to mention that while I'm enjoying the Online UltraMind Course, I am not at all affiliated with Mind Valley, or the CEO Vishen Lakhiani, but I did hear my mentor Bob Proctor talking about his organization over the years, knowing he supported their work, but I had no idea that Jose Silva's program would end up there. While I'm only reviewing the book here, (and not what I'm learning in the online course-I might do this at a later date after implementing the concepts) I do think it's important to include some of the meditations I found online in PART 3 of this review, to show you what they consist of. I've listed them in the resource section below for you to use.  I've also put a snapshot of the topics covered over the 28 day online program, and while I'm currently at DAY 21/28, I can say that mastering the ideas in the book are a good place to start if you would like to improve your current meditation practice and then I will show you how this will enhance your creativity and ability for innovation.  I think this 4 PART review could be used to jumpstart us all on the right foot for 2023. If you would like to go deeper into The Silva Method, I do suggest taking the online Silva UltraMind System, but caution that to get the most out of the program, that daily practice will be required. This is a course that you would want to carve out some time for. PUTTING THE 4 PARTS of THE SILVA METHOD TOGETHER: TO REVIEW PART 1 of THE SILVA METHOD EPISODE #261: We covered: ✔ CH 1- Using More of Our Mind in Special Ways: An Introduction to the Silva Mind Control Method. If you have begun using your mind to create a mental screen for heightened visualization, you could end this book review here and still be miles ahead in 2023. Central to Jose's Silva Method of Mind Control is with the power of visualization, and he says “right from the beginning, from the very moment you reach your meditative level (what he calls accessing the Alpha State), you must learn to practice visualization. The better you learn to visualize, the more powerful will be your experience with Mind Control.” With time and practice, it will be this screen that you will learn how to help yourself and others. You begin with creating simple things, until you are ready to solve small problems in your daily life, from work, to health, and improve learning/creativity. As you progress through this program, you can learn to use the screen of your mind to for more advanced innovative and creative ideas. There is no limit to what you could create here. ✔ What this program has done for others. The late Dr. Wayne Dyer has said that anything with the name Jose Silva as the author has his vote before I open to page one. He said “Read it with a pen for underlining.” Jose Silva himself noted that: ✔A marketing company used it to create 18 new products. ✔14 Chicago White Socks players used it to boost their scores. ✔ Celebrities have used it and credit Jose Silva for improving their focus and creativity. ✔ Colleges and universities have used it to help students study less, but learn more. And during the Silva UltraMind course, (the online program I joined while doing this book review) I had the chance to participate on a training call one evening with all the new students who had recently come on board with MindValley, (that has over 10 million students worldwide, studying over 200 speakers and authors on the site), and the moderator asked what course people were studying, and people started chiming into the chat from the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and remote countries around the world…that they were ALL here to study The Silva Method. I was floored! Mostly because I had thought this training call would have just a handful of people coming on board. I didn't expect so many participants globally, and ALL of them were there to study the same course I was there for. It took mind-boggling to a whole new level when I started to put together that this program was something that people are still very interested in learning about. ✔ Ch 2- Meet Jose Silva and learned about his passion for helping others to improve their ability to learn. He was a humble man who worked very hard to develop the ideas within his program, and was very careful about how he presented his ideas as visualization was not something that was widely accepted in the corporate world in the 80s and 90s. In his live events, he was smart to introduce his concepts as bio-feedback (that had more credibility at the time) and were more readily accepted, before introducing business executives to more advanced concepts of the mind (like using visualization) on the second day of the training. ✔ Ch 3- How to Meditate: A review of the brain states (BETA,ALPHA,THETA,DELTA). He learned that we spend most of our waking time at the BETA brain state, where we can feel the stress and anxiousness of daily life, so finding ways to relax (that he calls going to the Alpha State) can be helpful. His online program does cover how to access the Theta level of mind for increased intuition, and offers a strategy for solving problems in your sleep at the Delta level. ✔ We were Introduced to Using A Mental Screen in Your Mind for Heightened Visualization. It Will Be This Screen That We Will Use to Help Yourself and Others in Future Chapters. *** I would say developing the use of this screen is the KEY to the entire program. It's where your goals will begin to form, or where you will work with NEW ideas that come into your mind. I've heard it be called “your workshop” or where you create something new in your mind, and with time and practice, what you put on this screen becomes clearer and clearer. TO REVIEW PART 2 of THE SILVA METHOD EPISODE #262: We covered: ✔ Ch 4- Dynamic Meditation (where we actually DO something while meditating, instead of it being a passive practice). We learn how to be more in control of our life using visualization.  Dr. Andrew Huberman's research does tie in the importance of using meditation to improve our creativity, and I will expand on this at the end of this episode. ✔ The 4 Laws that must be in place BEFORE we visualize a goal. (We must desire the event to take place that we want, we must believe the event we want will take place, we must EXPECT the event to take place, and we must ONLY be working with something that will benefit ourselves and others. ✔ I noticed How these 4 Laws mirror Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book and wondered if Jose Silva did this intentionally. ✔ 3 STEPS to SOLVE ANY PROBLEM Using the Silva Method on the Screen that We Build in Our Mind. ✔ Ch 5- Improving Memory ✔ Where Silva's Memory Hacks have been seen on previous episodes and in the motivational speaking industry. TO REVIEW PART 3 of THE SILVA METHOD EPISODE #263: We covered: ✔ Chapter 6 on Speed Learning: Using the mental screen paired with the 3-finger technique if you want to learn something quickly, using the Alpha Brain State. Silva also covered recording your voice, or creating what I knew of as the “loop tape” of whatever it is that you want to remember. You would record what you want to remember in the BETA State, and then listen to it in the Alpha state (using the 3 finger technique or counting backwards). ✔ Chapter 7 on Creative Dreams where we covered 4 strategies for remembering our dreams, and taking them seriously like Jose Silva himself did. For PART 4 and today's episode, of the SILVA METHOD, Episode #265 we will finish looking at the book, and will cover: ✔ Ch 8-Your Words Have Power ✔ Ch 9-The Power of Imagination ✔ Ch 10-Using Your Mind to Improve Your Health ✔  We will connect the most current neuroscience research to Jose Silva's program, using Dr. Andrew Huberman's podcast on "The Science of Creativity" ✔  The 3 Parts to Your Creative Brain (Central Executive Network, Default Mode Network, Salience Network). ✔ 2 Types of Thinking Involved with Creativity (Divergent and Convergent) ✔ Putting Creativity to Practice with an example from our schools, sports and modern workplace environments.  with some clear examples and next steps for all of us to APPLY the Silva Method for improved Intuition, Creativity and Focus…right in time for a New Year. Chapter 8: Your Words Have Power I'm sure we've all heard of the importance of thinking and speaking positive words over negative ones, and Jose Silva would agree with this.  In this chapter, he talks about a nurse-anesthetist (and one of his eventual lecturers) from Oklahoma, Mrs. Jean Mabrey, who puts this knowledge of the mind to use to help her patients. As soon as they are “under”—in deep anesthesia—she would whisper in their ears instructions that would speed their recovery, and in some cases save their lives. Jose Silva would say “First, words have special power at deep levels of mind; second, the mind has much firmer command over the body than it is given credit for; and third, as I noted in Chapter 5, we are always conscious.” Here's another one if Silva's principles that I learned from the speaking industry. Bob Proctor used to tell a story on stage, of how he would whisper success secrets into the ears of his children when they were little. While they are grown now, this story stuck with me, as we want the best for our own kids. So when I had children, this is the first thing I did. I would drop into my child's room just before they were about to drift off to sleep and tell them something that would go deep into their subconscious mind. I'd say something like “you'll do whatever it is you want. Whatever you can dream you'll do it!” I did this almost every night with my first…and with my second, not as often. She needed it more…. Now to think about it, I even spoke to my girls before they were born, letting them know how excited we were to meet them and how much fun we would have when they arrived. Be very careful about the words we use and how they trigger our brains. We are always conscious. Since this concept was drilled into my head early on in the speaking industry, I learned early on to be careful of everything I say, and everything I think. If someone says “How are you?” and I'm not feeling 100%, the best way to answer this question is with a positive angle like “Getting better and better every day” to move myself in that direction. An answer like “not bad” would according to Silva, hit the brain in a negative way, as it would only hear “bad” instead of “good.” I can tie the research to this as well, with my mentor Mark Robert Waldman who wrote Words Can Change Your Brain with Andrew Newberg, MD[vii]. In this book, they explain that “the more you stay focused on negative words and thoughts, the more you can actually damage key structures that regulate your memory, feelings, and emotions.You may disrupt your sleep, your appetite, and the way your brain regulates happiness, longevity, and health. That's how powerful a single negative word or phrase can be. And if you vocalize your negativity, even more stress chemicals will be released, not only in your brain, but in the listener's brain as well. You'll both experience increased anxiety and irritability, and it will generate mutual distrust, thereby undermining the ability to build empathy and cooperation. The same thing happens in your brain when you listen to arguments on the radio or see a violent scene in a movie. The brain, it turns out, doesn't distinguish between fantasies and facts when it perceives a negative event. Instead it assumes that a real danger exists in the world.” Words Can Change Your Brain Jose Silva had it right when he said  “Words have special power at deep levels of mind, the mind has a firmer command over the body than it's given credit for, and third, we are always conscious.” Jose Silva Be careful with every word that you think, and speak. Words do have power. Chapter 9: The Power of Your Imagination We dove deep into this concept in part 3 of our review of Think and Grow Rich[viii] earlier this year that I can now see was of high interest to listeners as it had over 1400 downloads. On this episode, we looked at the fact that our lives reflect how well we use our imagination, because when we hit one plateau of success, it will be our imagination that will take us to what's next. Author Earl Nightingale said that “imagination is everything” and as we will see with the Silva Method, all great inventions are created in two separate places: the mind of the inventor, and the physical world when the inventor creates it. There is no doubt in my mind that Silva was influenced by Hill's Think and Grow Rich book. He says it himself in this chapter that “imagination seizes directly on the goal; it gets what it wants” and elaborates by saying this is why he “placed so much emphasis on your learning true-to-life visualization at the deep levels of mind. If you spur your imagination with belief, desire and expectancy, and train to visualize your goals so that you see, feel, hear, taste and touch them, you will get what you want.” (Ch9, The Silva Method). This is why mastering your mental screen for visualization is so important. If there is ONE part of the Silva Method that I think we could all benefit from, it's this one. Learning to use the mental screen on our mind. It's this mental screen where you will solve small and larger problems, and learn to help yourself and others in many different ways. It's the starting block that must be mastered over time, and not rushed. Chapter 10-Using Your Mind to Improve Your Health We've covered this topic in a few places on this podcast, on EPISODE #234[ix] with Ashok Gupta on “Health and Happiness: Getting to the Root of Chronic Pain and Illness” where Ashok Gupta showed us how chronic pain or illness occurs in the brain with a vicious loop of inflammation/irritation that he has successfully been treating with patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Long-Haul Covid, Fibromyalgia, Chemical or Mold Sensitivities, Gut Issues, Anxiety, Lyme Disease and many more, with a meditation program he designed called The Gupta Program that combines brain-training in conjunction with working with a medical doctor for healing. Then physician and neurologist Dr. Phillippe Douyon shared his story of overcoming illness on EPISODE #241[x] with positive thinking at the root of his recovery. Jose Silva was far ahead of his time with his understanding of using mind control for self-healing. This chapter is near the end of the book, and is mastered by students with time and practice, and I have to say that I had heard of using the mind for healing when my Mom was undergoing treatment for Cancer in the late 1990s. I told Dr. Douyon about her strategy for healing, and he said he had heard of many patients of his, successfully overcoming serious health challenges, and that positive thinking and visualizing health were at the very root of their healing, like Silva believed. In this chapter, Silva talks about cancer specialist, O. Carl Simonton, who Simonton who was trained by Silva and his Mind Control techniques was featured in Prevention Magazine in an article called “Mind Over Cancer” where he shared that the patients who recovered all had something in common. He said they were “often positive, optimistic, determined people.” (Ch 10, The Silva Method). In this chapter Silva talks about the idea of self-healing using your mental screen, but he also touches on something that goes a bit beyond our usual level of thinking, in Chapter 12 that Silva called “ESP” or Extra Sensory Perception that he believed we all had. He worked closely with J.B Rhine at Duke University to understand this subject, and bring his experiments into his understanding, but it's important to note that Silva believed this concept could be developed and strengthened over time to help his students improve self-healing, healing of others, improve their intuition, and strengthen their mental screen practice. He touches on this in the book, and his online program goes into great detail of how exactly this is done with activities using the screen of our mind, to psychometry, and is something I've been fascinated with since I first heard about this over 20 years ago. I'll be sure to cover this topic again in the future, as it one I'm still learning and exploring. I'm sure you can see now what Silva meant when he said “Once we learn to use our minds to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.” This brings me to the end of PART 4 and our REVIEW of The Silva Method: To conclude this 4 PART REVIEW of The Silva Method, I want to look at how we can use what we've learned throughout this review of the Silva Method, to improve our Creativity in 2023 for Innovation in your specific line of work. This is where I'll take the research, and tie it to The Silva Method, showing us that we all have the ability to be creative, and how to improve this area of our life in the New Year. This is a deep topic, requiring some thought, that goes along with just how comprehensive Silva's Method is. To make this applicable for all of us, I'll be using concepts from Dr. Andrew Huberman's most recent podcast on “The Science of Creativity and How to Enhance Creative Innovation” tying in Jose Silva's Method to bring these 4 PARTS of our book review applicable to all of us, whether we are educators working in our classrooms, working in the sports industry, or in our modern workplaces. WE CONNECT DR. HUBERMAN'S RESEARCH TO THIS EPISODE FROM HIS EPISODE ON ENHANCING YOUR CREATIVITY. HOW CAN WE USE THE SILVA METHOD TO ENHANCE CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN 2023? To close out this episode, let go straight to the research. Did you know that according to American neuroscientist and associate professor at Stanford School of Medicine, Dr. Andrew Huberman “the ability to be creative resides in everybody? We know that because the neural circuits that underlie creativity have been somewhat defined and the steps and processes in the brain that lead to creativity are well known.” What Makes Something Creative? Jose Silva would have loved this research, especially when Dr. Huberman ties many studies to meditation and the brain/creativity, but let's begin with the idea of defining creativity. What makes something creative? Dr. Huberman spent over 2 hours on his podcast diving thoroughly and deeply into this topic, that I will narrow down for this episode. He explains that “most people don't know how to access creativity” or “they do it in a limited manner” and I'll agree with him here. As you will see, coming up with an idea that's creative, and innovative takes time, effort and years of work, making connections, using your executive functions in your brain to cross off what's not relevant and then testing these connections, to see what's left over that you will keep, hoping they are creative and relevant to others. Dr. Huberman explains that “when we see something that's truly creative, it reveals something to us about the natural world and about how our brains work….It must reveal something that surprises us” for it to be truly creative. Then, “something pops out at us” he says, “we hear something in the words with music, or if we see something, feel, or experience something” “and something pops out to us as exciting….this reveals something about our brain/our auditory system, creating NEW meaning for us.” AND “when we see, hear, feel or experience something that's truly creative, the way our neural circuits function is changed. When our neural circuits are changed simply by what comes into our eyes, ears of the way we experience our feelings, there's a release of chemicals like dopamine that make us feel surprised, delighted or excited in anticipation that we will see it again.” (Dr. Huberman) So when I say that “the ability to be creative resides in everyone” it does, since we ALL have the same structures in our brain, but some people have learned to use certain parts of their brain to foster creativity in ways that others have not.  This is where practicing the Silva Method comes in. THE 3 NETWORKS TO YOUR CREATIVE BRAIN: Dr. Huberman went on to explain that there are 3 networks in the brain that are involved in coming up with a CREATIVE idea, and we've covered these 3 parts of the brain extensively on EPISODE #48[xi] on “Brain Network Theory.” It was here where we covered The Default Mode Network, The Central Executive Network, and the Salience Network that are all involved with coming up a truly creative idea. While I'm not going to dive into each part of the brain and what it's doing (you can review episode 48 where we show how these 3 parts of the brain must work together to improve our imagination and creativity), I just want to point out that coming up with a creative idea takes some brain power. When you are working with the screen of your mind in the Silva Method, you will be using all three of these parts of your brain to come up with new ideas. Your CEN (Central Executive Network) will help you to suppress ideas, actions or choices, your DMN (Default Mode Network) will help you to access your library of previous memories that you will be using to create your NOVEL idea, and your SN (Salience Network) will help you to make choices of what's most relevant to you. You will use your brain to create something NEW and USEFUL by rearranging existing elements (from your memory bank) into new combinations that reveals something fundamental about how we and the world works. 2 TYPES OF THINKING ARE INVOLVED: The final part of creating something CREATIVE and INNOVATIVE is that it's done by going back and forth between two types of thinking: Divergent Thinking: Where we take a known object in the world, and expand upon this idea, the more ideas the better, wandering through your ideas that you already know (from your memory bank) with the hopes that the connections you make reveals something new to others. Convergent Thinking: That's the opposite of divergent thinking, but it's where we use focus and persistence to narrow in on an idea that makes sense in the real world. If you want to dive deeper into Dr. Andrew Huberman's thorough explanation of Creativity and the Brain[xii], he takes things much deeper than I will here, in his recent episode that goes well over 2 hours. He doesn't miss anything and even goes on to show us the parts of the brain that light up when we are involved in divergent vs convergent thinking, and the 2 types of meditation that are proven to improve each of these ways of thinking. He says that “open monitored meditation” (like just closing your eyes and paying attention to your thoughts without judgement) is well documented to improve our divergent thinking capability, and focused attention meditation (like staring at a flame of light) is a way to improve our convergent thinking capabilities. PUTTING CREATIVITY INTO PRACTICE: When thinking about how to close out this 4 PART review, and make it applicable to all of us, I had to spend some time thinking hard about this one. I didn't want to just end this review without some solid research backing up the validity of The Silva Method, with some clear examples of those who have shown innovation and creativity who we've come across on this podcast. It wasn't difficult to find someone in each of the three sectors we cover, and now that I've tied the research to creative thinking, I'm sure you will agree with me that the examples I will share here all show true innovation and creativity, and that coming up with a creative idea like each of these, took years of experience, work and thought. It wasn't like I remember the commercial for the guy who invented peanut butter cups who just tripped and his chocolate bar fell into the jar of peanut butter and bam, he had a new invention. These are 3 examples that I hope will inspire you to put some of your own thought into how you can use the Silva Method, and come up creative and innovative ideas of your own. For Schools: I chose our guests from episode #215[xiii] who have shown innovation in the field of education by launching a podcast to elevate student and teacher voice. Remember, To Show Creativity—It must Reveal something new to us (entertaining, thrilling or useful) and it changes the way we access the world—acting as portals into the world and ourselves. I couldn't have found a clearer example that these two Canadian podcasters who published a book called The Magnificent Microphone[xiv] that when a student connected to it, it opened up a whole new world of confidence, creativity and success. These two leaders in education have discovered true creativity and innovation in the podcasting space, bringing student-led podcasts to the field of education. For Sports: I chose a forward-thinking coach from an early EPISODE #38[xv] who has shown innovation with his sports team when he redesigned their locker room and uniforms with a vision beyond what has typically been done before. Remember, To Show Creativity—It must Reveal something new to us (entertaining, thrilling or useful) and it changes the way we access the world—acting as portals into the world and ourselves. This one you'll see more if you watch the 30 second snapshot of their locker reveal[xvi] that takes the team on a journey from the minute they walk into the new room, where the players are taking in the many visual cues they see, making connections to past players, where they are today, and their future. For the Workplace: I chose our recent EPISODE #264[xvii] where our guest was able to look at ways to create breakthroughs in the workplace, bringing to light something that was left off the table in the past. He looked at EQ and IQ and found that experience was left off, and coined the term “XQ” for Experiential Intelligence. This guest also mentioned his love of “making connections” which is something he noticed I do intentionally on this podcast, and now after hearing Dr. Huberman's explanation, he talks about the fact that true creativity or innovation could not occur without let's say an architect coming up with incredible plans for buildings without a thorough understanding of how buildings are put together in the first place. Remember, To Show Creativity—It must Reveal something new to us (entertaining, thrilling or useful) and it changes the way we access the world—acting as portals into the world and ourselves. Once we know what novelty/creativity and innovation looks in the brain, you can only imagine what's happening at the brain level with each of these examples. Just like the complexity of the reading brain, with 4 parts of the brain working together as a student learns how to read, someone coming up with a creative, innovative idea, has specific (Dr. Huberman lists 3 networks in the brain) working together to create what the rest of the world will come to see as novel, or innovative. This is what makes some things go “viral” online. The NEW experience actually changes the circuits in the brain with whatever it is a person sees, feels, hears or experiences. Dopamine is released (with the surprise and delight) with whatever it is they make connections to, and there's the hope or anticipation that they will experience it again. I hope all 3 of these examples have given you a glance into the world of innovation that's possible for you, as a product of going through the simple steps in the Silva Method. To conclude this episode, and PART 4 of our Review of the Silva Method, we looked at ✔ A Review of all 3 PARTS of The Silva Method Review. ✔ Today, in PART 4, we looked at Ch 8-Your Words Have Power Ch 9-The Power of Imagination Ch 10-Using Your Mind to Improve Your Health ✔ We connected The Silva Method to the Dr. Andrew Huberman's Neuroscience Research on Creativity and Innovation. ✔ We gave an example of innovation from our past guests in the fields of education, sports and the modern workplace. The goal of this 4 PART review of Jose Silva's Program, was to encourage all of us to see if we could learn something new, to take our results to new heights in 2023. I had no idea just how deep the book and program would go, and I know I'll review the online course at a later time, but for now, this review has given me some new ideas for how to improve my visualization/mental screen method to help me with my short term and long term goals. I'd love to hear from you what you have thought of this episode, where we tied in the most current research to Jose Silva's work, reminding me that “once we learn to use our minds to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.” I do want to add something before we close about the importance of honoring other people's creative and innovative ideas. Now that we've seen what's involved at the brain level with coming up with an idea that's truly novel, I'm sure you'll agree with me that while we all have this ability to create something new, that this comes naturally to some, and is more difficult for others. If you see someone else's creative or innovative idea, please never approach it as your own. PLAGIARISM CAUTION[xviii]: CAN WORDS OR IDEAS REALLY BE STOLEN? When you are the creator of an idea, I can tell you first hand, as someone who worked very hard on something, and then saw it pasted on a reputable company's website the day after I shared my “new ideas” with them. I was very disappointed, mostly as they had taken something I had permission to use from someone else who wasn't referenced, because they stole the quote from me! If you see something from someone else that you like, and want to use it somewhere, always credit the source where it originated from using the proper format with quotation marks. If it's something that's more than a quote, or it's an idea, I would contact the creator first hand, and see what they think about what you would like to do. I wanted to use an assessment based on American Psychologist Howard Gardener's Theory of Multiple Intelligences in my first book, The Secret for Teens Revealed[xix], and emailed him directly at Harvard to ask him. He was shocked I even asked, and said that most people don't. He told me he didn't mind if I used it, but wanted me to be sure I portrayed the Intelligences in a way that showed that we can develop them all with effort, not that we are inclined for some and not others. I never forgot this. If you ask the creator directly, you can find out what they would prefer to keep original, and what they don't mind sharing, with their name attached to it as the originator. With this in mind now, I'd love to hear what you CREATE this year.  I've put the meditations that I found online, that are a good place for all of us to begin this process, in the show notes below, and I'll see you next week with our REVIEW of the TOP 10 EPISODES from 2022, and some surprise interviews that I had to squeeze in before the end of the year.

“Any new beginning is forged from the shards of the past, not from the abandonment of the past.” Craig Lounsbrough   Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/M45pacbfyqA On this episode we will cover: ✔ Soren Kaplan's background, and how he became interested in helping high level businesses breakthrough to new heights. ✔ How he has met and worked with some of the world's most well known experts in leadership and innovation. ✔ Where his innate strengths, talents and skills emerged from, skyrocketing his career and personal success. ✔ How we can ALL tap into the missing ingredient he discovered that leads to high levels of success and breakthroughs. ✔ How we can use this missing ingredient that he calls EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE (XQ) to become better leaders, increase collaboration, innovation and results at home or in the workplace. ✔ How EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE (XQ) compliments IQ and EQ. ✔ A simple formula for decoding our own EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE (XQ). ✔ How to use EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE (XQ) with teams, or individuals. ✔ The research behind EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE (XQ). ✔ How companies like Google, Apple, IBM and Tesla are embracing EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE (XQ). When it comes to closing out an old year, and moving into a new one, goal-setting and mindset is at the top of mind for all of us, to jumpstart our New Year on the right foot. This week, I'm in the middle of writing out our TOP 10 episodes of 2022, and getting my head around the final PART of our book review of the Silva Method and I'm thinking about how I can personally improve where we are now with the podcast, to keep moving us all forward with engaging content and speakers that can us to reach new heights with our brain in mind in 2023 and beyond. I wondered, “what am I missing that I haven't covered yet, that could help move all of us to greater heights?” We have gone deep on this podcast in the past year with using an understanding of our brain to improve our mental and physical health and wellbeing, especially as this all relates to our learning, and we're now slowing down the year for the holidays, uncovering some new ways to meditate with The Silva Method,[i] and other episodes that we'll be releasing over the last few weeks of this year to help us to improve creativity, our intuition and focus, but before we close out this year, I wonder, what else is there that can help drive transformation in our schools, sports environments and workplaces? I've been thinking about this for the past few weeks, and then I met our next guest, Soren Kaplan, Ph.D., a bestselling and award-winning author, a Columnist for Inc. Magazine, and an affiliate at the Center for Effective Organizations at USC's Marshall School of Business. Business Insider and the Thinkers50 have recognized him as one of the world's top management thought leaders and consultants.  I was introduced to Soren Kaplan via email letting me know about his NEW book called Experiential Intelligence: (that's about how to) Harness the Power for Personal and Business Breakthroughs[ii] that follows his other successful books Leapfrogging: The Power of Surprise for Business Breakthroughs[iii] and The Invisible Advantage[iv]. I immediately thought, “This is it! This is what I've been looking for. Something else that we can tap into that can be used to transform ourselves, our teams, and our organizations” and something entirely NEW, giving us that “breakthrough” advantage, or quantum leap that I've been mentioning all year with Price Pritchett's You2 book. When I began reading Soren's book, I noticed from the praise and testimonials at the start, that his supporters were all high levels leaders, sharing what they had learned from Soren's book, and how “the ability to understand your inherent capabilities as a product of life experiences is the essence of (what Soren has called) experiential intelligence” and how “leaders can harness XQ to unlock their own hidden strengths and that of their teams to drive transformation.” –Valencia Bembry, VP of Philanthropy, United Nations Foundation Today's Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #264 will cover Soren Kaplan Ph.D on “Experiential Intelligence: The Missing Ingredient for Unlocking Personal and Professional Success.” This will give me some more time to think a bit deeper on our final part of our review of The Silva Method that I could really use. I'm Andrea Samadi an author and an educator, who launched this podcast to help us to understand the science behind ANY high performance strategy proven to increase our results in our schools, sports, and modern workplaces. Before we meet Soren Kaplan, I want to share a bit about what he has discovered after 25 years of working with thousands of business leaders around the world. He says that Experiential Intelligence reveals how our past life experiences impact our present success and future opportunities in ways we often don't recognize. While we can't change what's happened to us or how we've responded to it, within our unique stories are hidden strengths waiting to be discovered. He says we can all do just that by uncovering our unique Experiential Intelligence (XQ)—or our internal fingerprint, that is a combination of the mindsets and abilities gained from our personal and professional life experiences. Just as memorizing facts doesn't give you a high IQ, your Experiential Intelligence isn't merely what you've learned over time. It's how you view opportunities, perceive challenges, and tackle goals. XQ can be leveraged for you to: Become a better leader Hire and develop talent using more strategic criteria Increase collaboration, innovation, and results Transform your organization's culture I had to sit and think for a moment after coming across Soren Kaplan's work, as we've covered emotional intelligence on the podcast, with EPISODE #202[v] most recently with Joshua Freedman on “Getting Results with Emotional Intelligence in our Schools and Workplaces” that remains on our TOP 10 most listened episodes of 2022, so I wondered how this NEW book could help us to uncover our hidden assets, remove invisible barriers limiting peak performance, and amplify strengths to achieve breakthroughs for ourselves personally, our teams, or our organizations.Let's meet Soren Kaplan and find out how we can all use Experiential Intelligence to breakthrough to new heights as we prepare to launch a new year. Welcome Soren Kaplan, thank you for coming on the podcast to share what you have discovered about this unique fingerprint that we all have-- that when tapped into, can transform our results.  Thanks for being here today! I'm excited to uncover some NEW breakthroughs with you. INTRODUCTION Q: Before I ask you WHAT you've discovered that you cover in your NEW book, Experiential Intelligence, I've got to start out with a SURPRISE question for you, that wasn't in the script, because I started reading your second book, Leapfrogging, about using the Power of Surprise for Business Breakthroughs that ties back to one of our earlier interviews on The Power of Surprise. Can we begin with a progression of your three books, and how you became interested in helping people “break through” to new heights and results? Q1: Looking through your website, and the praise of your best-selling and award-winning books, I saw leaders in business from around the world from 3M, to the CEO of PBS, to School Superintendents, but there was one person who caught my eye, as he was recognized as the world's most influential leadership thinker and then I saw that he wrote the foreword to book, Leapfrogging. How did you get to meet Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, who listeners might know as the author of the book, What Got You Here Won't Get You There? An excerpt from Dr. Marshall Goldsmith's foreword from the book, Leapfrogging. Q1B: How have you brought “lateral thinking” into the workplace? Q1C: Understanding XQ and all of its parts: how do we even begin to implement this concept that holds so many moving pieces that have been left out of our educational system and workplaces for years? Q2: Now that you have given us some history of what got you here, can you explain Experiential Intelligence and how it's different from IQ (Intellectual Intelligence) and EQ (Emotional Intelligence)? It's how you perceive challenges, view opportunities, and tackle your goals. Street Smarts The greater self-awareness you gain around your own Experiential Intelligence, the more you actually develop it and can use it to your advantage. Q2B: How does "XQ" complement IQ and EQ (Emotional Intelligence)? XQ introduces the third leg of the intelligence stool that's been there all along but is now equally important to recognize as a critical success factor in life and business. To deal with today's disruptive world, we need to first understand and then develop certain mindsets, abilities, and know-how to ensure we survive and thrive. These are the components of XQ Q3: For those of us who want to now look at our own XQ, How do we decode our own talents and strengths that come from our individual XQ? How exactly do life experiences create this "intelligence" and help develop our Experiential Intelligence?  To help our audience tap into their “XQ” what would you suggest? How can we tap into this intelligence for increased collaboration at work, leading to more innovation in 2023? Q3B: How does a team work with XQ? Q3C: Where do we begin to work with XQ? Q4: What research supports the ideas behind XQ? Q4B: How do you take into mind the research in this work, like connecting Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah's book, What Happened to You with everyone we work and connect with? Q4C: Soren asks Andrea where she got the ability to make connections across different sectors, and why does she think these connections are important? Q5: What is the role of Experiential Intelligence in business, i.e., for leadership, teams, and organizational culture?  How does XQ play out in our workplaces? Companies including Google, Apple, Tesla, IBM, Home Depot, Bank of America, Starbucks, and Hilton no longer require a university degree for an interview. Many organizations haven't fully tapped into the mindsets, abilities, and know-how that inherently exists across their people and teams. Leaders first need to recognize that the reality of life, including in business, is that everyone brings the whole of who they are with them wherever they go, including both their strengths as well as self-limiting beliefs. Until companies embrace this fact, they'll never reach their full potential. Q6: Experiential Intelligence seems to have broad relevance and implications beyond business, is that true? Just like IQ and EQ, we all have XQ. That makes it relevant for parenting, education, personal relationships, psychology and more. Q7: Is there anything important that I've missed? How can we best assess or measure our Experiential Intelligence? XQ can be measured at the individual, team, and organizational levels. Teams and organizations are simply collections of individuals, so collective “team XQ” or “organization XQ” represent the collective Experiential Intelligence of a group. For example, if a team or organization shares a specific mindset around something, it influences the collective culture in the form of shared attitudes and beliefs. Soren Kaplan created an assessment that measures four dimensions of Experiential Intelligence. ‘Ability Appreciation' is your recognition that you possess specific strengths in the form of attitudes, assumptions, knowledge, or skills due to your unique experiences. ‘Impact Awareness' is your attunement to the impacts you've experienced in life and how to view and use them to your advantage. ‘Mindset Flexibility' is your awareness that your attitudes and beliefs will change over time based on your experiences. ‘Amplification' involves sharing your personal XQ journey while providing a safe, trusted space for others to openly share and receive your insight and encouragement at the same time. How an individual or group scores on these dimensions indicates whether they have a lower or higher level of XQ. Soren, I want to thank you very much for coming on the podcast, and sharing the work you've done with leaders around the world, to help our listeners to improve their QX this year for heightened results. For people who want to access the book, is the best place to go to your website? Andrea's Final Thoughts: I couldn't end this interview without sharing how much Soren's new book, Experiential Intelligence made me think. I was caught up in thought throughout the entire interview, and working on making XQ applicable for all of us. I was also surprised when Soren asked me a question. That's only ever happened ONCE in the three years I've been hosting this podcast. Dr. David Sousa surprised me with a question at the end of our first interview, asking me “what else can I answer for you?” and I had thought long and hard about the questions we had covered, and I wasn't expecting it, so I came up with something that really mattered to me at the end of our interview. I thought it was interesting that Soren noticed the connections I try to make during interviews.  It's something I've noticed comes naturally when I'm listening to someone, I'm looking to see if what they are saying could be applicable for us in any way, especially if I can tie in something important to neuroscience research. I recently noticed that staying sharp with this skill requires me to be well rested, eat a clean diet and stay as healthy as possible, tying in the health and wellness side to our podcast that's always there. Without our mental and physical wellbeing, everything else is impacted and I noticed it with my inability to make these connections with ease in the summer months, prior to changing some things in my diet. I shared this with Soren at the end of the interview, and he agreed that diet and nutrition have impacted his results as well. It's an undeniable difference for both of us. While editing this interview, I wanted to see if I could decode my XQ for an example, and if you watch the YouTube interview, you can see where I took a high impact experience from my high school years, when I was cut from playing basketball (after being on the team in previous years), and this experience conveyed to me that I wasn't good at sports, and the belief I formed over the years is that I need to work extra hard when it comes to sports. It's where I draw most of my resilience, strength and never give up attitude from. So instead of being mad at the coach who cut me from the team (Mr. Stein), I can now look at the wealth of experience learned that contributed to my knowledge and skills over the years. Try this activity yourself, and for those who want to access Chapter 1 of the book, you can get it for FREE from sorenkaplan.com The book comes out Jan. 24th, but if you have time over the holidays, this would be a good time to sit back, reflect and decode your unique fingerprint that contributes to your unique talents and strengths.  If you figure out anything eye-opening, I'd love to know, and Soren did say that mediation is another way to think and ponder about your life experiences, to help you to come up with your unique fingerprint. And with that being said, I'll close out this episode and see you again for PART 4 of The Silva Method in a few days. See you then.

何瑞怡 Matilda 在32岁的时候开始创业,创业前她念了全球前10的MBA, 进入了顶尖咨询公司做到了高管的位置,终于成为了虎妈眼里的 ”成功人士“。工作之余,她单人背包走了40多个国家去“找自己“。 00:14:52 Know Yourself ”我突然意识到,我之前一直是doing doing doing, 但是我们不是Human Doing, 我是Human Being. 那我们怎么‘Being ourselves?' 当我找到了我的Purpose 后,也就是那个Why 之后,我辞职创业,并计划一直做到我90岁,120岁...“ - Matilda. 39 岁这一年,从来没有做过电商的Matilda 做成了有机食品生鲜电商一米市集;https://www.yimishiji.com 39岁这一年,从来没有做过风险投资的Matilda 的农业科技风险投资公司成功融资一亿美金,继续为中国农业科技发展助力。http://www.bitsxbites.cn 00:42:24 有关成功以及失败 "其实我们讲的这个有点悬,有点像道德经。其实我们每一个人的优点就是我们的缺点。很多时候人的成功跟失败也是一体两面的。那我就举个例子,因为这个事情刚刚发生,三个月前,可能大家也会看到新闻,就是我们成功的融到了Bits and Bites 的基金。当然大家看到的这个新闻稿或是媒体的报道,肯定都只会讲,哇你成功超额募资到这么多钱,然后有这么多优秀的投资人投资你,然后我也收到了无数封志贺的信。但是其实从我自己去看,这件事情我看到的其实是满满的失败所累积到了这个成功的结果。如果我去看过去这两年我是怎么成功募集到这笔基金的,其实是因为我们得到了超过五六十个 rejection (拒绝)。我们在募资的前一年是特别坎坷的,很多很多的这些潜在的投资人有无数个拒绝的理由,都可以写成一本书了。“- Matilda 认识何瑞怡Matilda 很多年,每次约见面或者电话,她都非常精准的给出几个她有时间的时间段,时间段精准到15分钟,30 分钟,从早上 8点到晚上8点之间。最开始的几次接触,她会让人觉得非常“公务”。但是当你知道 Matilda 有一个Excel Sheet 来记录她每一天是怎么利用时间的,吃了什么,情绪怎么样,并给每一天都凭个分,她这样记录已经有7、8年了,你就完全理解了她把时间看的有多重要。 00:56:48 时间管理和情绪记录 “在生活当中,我也有一个 Google 的 Excel 来记录。这 Excel 我已经做了7、8年了,然后基本上全方位记录我的 emotional health (情绪健康)跟我的 physical health (身体健康),就是包含我每天喝多少酒,然后喝了几杯,这个是每天要记录的,然后我自己每个月是有目标的。每天的轻断食状态,我是断食 16 个小时,还是18个小时,这个我也要记录的。还有我的睡眠状态,就是我睡觉是不是有睡 7 个小时,这个是能够帮助我每天能子啊高强度会议中工作非常核心的一点,所以我也会记录我睡眠的时间,包括我的 state of mind 这个是很简单的,就是负 2 到正2 。如果我今天非常开心,那我就是2分。我今天还 OK 那可能 0 分,如果今天整个情绪的状态特别不好,可能就是负 1 负2。但是负 1 负 2 的最大的核心是我今天得了负 1 负2,我能不能做出一些行为能够帮助我明天又变成了零分或一分或两分。所以我一直都有这样子的一个日记然后去记录我每天生活习惯。“ - Matilda --------- XQ: 这个方法管理学大师Jim Collins (写过这本书) 也会使用,他叫这个Excel "The Bug Book" 如果听众朋友们有需要,可以写邮件到xieqing@protonmail.com,拿到具体资料。----------- 00:29:30 找到自己的目标(Purpose) "很多人问我说,什么叫 purpose 呢?我也想创业,但我就不知道到底要创什么业。其实我是这么来理解 purpose 的,用一个很简单的问法来问,就是 Are you feeling inspired ?Are you feeling motivated 就是你每天早上起床你要走去上班了,你的能量感怎么样?如果一到五你是一,觉得好烦,我为什么要去上班?我就会告诉她说那说不定你就真的得换工作了,你为什么要去这个我为了拿这笔钱,然后你去做一份工作,是你每天早上巴不得就是留在床上睡觉,那我自己因为自己很知道我自己要什么,我的两份工作,两个公司我都觉得,每天早上起来即使再困难的挑战,我还是觉得我是在做一份非常有使命感的事情,所以我会觉得是非常有动力的。" - Matilda 00:30 不婚不育是我的选择 “那再倒过来说,我从小就没有这个所谓的荷尔蒙,想当妈妈,我从小就跟着我爸妈说我不想结婚不想生小孩。然后我到现在,我还是不理解为什么要结婚或生小孩,我觉得这个东西就是一个见仁见智,为什么要为了一张纸去跟一个人在一起,然后还有法律约束对吧?然后你看,现在全世界离婚率这么高,那到时候分家产分房产特别麻烦。然后为什么要生小孩这件事情其实我也没有办法去理解。” - Matilda 00:36:00 如何做选择以及为什么很多人给你的反馈都是噪音 “所以我觉得虽然这个主流的声音它会有很多反面的声音,那我觉得这个问题的核心关键点还是在于你怎么样去 take those feedback 就是我觉得有时候我们女孩子还是非常容易去害怕,因为就听到很多,有正面的,有负面的 feedback (反馈) 那我觉得这个也是我在过去这几年不断地去训练自己的。我叫做 emotional strength 。很多时候 don't listen to those unsolicited feedback (不要去听那些没有来由的反馈)。很多时候这些给反馈的人又不是懂你自己,那他们就站在他们自己主观的失败的经验、成功的经验,然后去给你一些他们自己认为合适他们的建议,但是这个东西不见得可以套到你自己的身上。那以前我自己也会觉得我就得听,我们都要 lesson well 。”- Matilda 00:49:29 有关年龄焦虑以及长寿健康管理 “首先我先讲一下,我觉得我们这一代的人非常很有可能活到 120 岁。所以我先讲 life span 是 120 岁。所以对我来说健康是一个我人生当中最重要的事情,如果我们这一代的人都可以活到 120 岁。那我们是希望 90 岁的时候就开始坐轮椅?还是我们希望 90 岁我们还可以到处飞,我今天飞南非,然后我上飞机,我还可以自己有力量的把行李箱放到上面去。第二就是当你有这个 awareness 你可以活到 120 岁。那其实我今年也要满 40 了,我还有 80 年,所以我现在就是一个年轻人, 我才活了1/3。所以我就觉得哇那我还可以做的事情这么多,所以我其实是用比较正面的视角去看这件事情。第二是我自己觉得每一个十年更重要的,应该是在于你知道你自己要做什么。”- Matilda Matilda 小红书账号: 何瑞怡Matilda Matilda 会从营养学角度告诉女生怎么吃,怎么练,可以更加平衡健康。 00:53:15 如何达到平衡状态以及The Wheel of Life “我很建议大家可以上网搜有一个东西叫做 The Wheel of Life*,我们自己 wellness 它其实是有八个不同的 health 组成的,就是你有 family 的 health 你有 social 的 health 对吧,我们都有社交的属性,你有自己的 physical 的 health 我们都希望不生病。然后你也有这个 financial health 你肯定还是要有一定的财务的基础,否则你会恐慌。然后你也要有一份工作,你不可能就做无业游民。然后你也有一个 emotional health 你有一个 spiritual health。 你可以自己去上网做一个小小的测验,然后去看你自己现在的人生是不是一个 balance 它是一个八爪图,那你做完它你就会看到你自己。目前针对这 8 个 health 的一个状态,那你是不是不够 balance 例如说你的你的 job 这一块是不是太多了,每天要工作到晚上 9 点,可能回家宝宝都睡着了。如果希望你的轮盘家庭的比重更大,那么你就可以去调整你的时间分配。这个我自己觉得它是一个很好的工具,去帮助你了解你自己的人生。“ ----------- XQ: 请email xieqing@protonmail.com 来得到更多 The Wheel of Life 的信息。 The Wheel Of Life :https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newHTE_93.htm 我身边的很多朋友都有雌雄同体的特性,Matilda 是其中最明显的一位,她从不按主流价值观给自己 贴标签,也有情绪起伏,日常崩溃,但是她花了7年时间找到自己的底层价值观让她从未动摇。 01:09:30 人生愿景 ”我反而是倒过来想这件事情的。有一个影响我蛮深的,在60、70 年代,美国有一个人致力推动有机农业,他叫 Wes Jackson , 他说了一句话: “If you're working...

今天我们请来东方香薰生活方式品牌观夏的品牌主理人和联合创始人沈 黎来到Lead Her Way。沈黎是个四川妹子,敢想敢做。在传统家庭长大的她,从小就是“别 人家的孩子”不用怎么学习就可以奥数第一,却在被保送重点高中后抑郁了,重新走出来后,她又叛逆的改了自己的志愿,走上了媒体人的道路。从媒体人到三次创业,沈黎一直坚持“想太多没有用,要去小规模试错,即使错了也比停滞不前强“的态度,走到今天。观夏成为国人最 耳熟能详的东方香薰品牌之一,观夏的在北京上海地标位置建立了两家线下店。沈黎说她脑子里 也经常会有两个小人,一个自信的告诉她勇敢前行,一个是那个不自信的自己告诉她危险重重,一路走来,自信的小人总是能够赢。 XQ:你好,沈黎今天特别感谢你能够来到 Lead Her Way 的播客来给大家讲一讲你自己的故事。你能不能先给我们的听众朋友们简单介绍一下你自己。 SL: 你好, Lead Her Way 的听众众朋友们,我是沈黎,我是观夏的品牌主理人,也是一个在生活方式领域的连续创业者。我做了三个品牌。在做品牌之前,我是一个媒体人,大概在十二年前我在时尚芭莎做专题编辑,正好是中国时尚媒体鼎盛时期的一个尾部。我非常有幸地赶上了那个时代。当时我们的杂志有三个板块,有时装版块,美容版块,和专题版块,我做的就是专题版块的这部分的一个工作。我喜欢研究的选题大部分都会和生活方式相关。比如说那个时候在十几年前中国还没有人用什么香氛,还有香薰的时候,我就开始在做一些选题,把国外的一些品牌的内容通过媒体来报道给国内的读者。 可能在那个时候我就一直潜移默化的在研究这些美好的一些生活方式,包括鲜花,包括我会去探访住在北京、上海郊区的一些设计师艺术家朋友的家,看他们是如何认真的生活,认真地做好每一餐每一饭。所以说那个时候我可能就跟当时的同事关注的一些重点就不太一样了。可能这在当时给我埋下了一些很重要的种子。 这为我后面的生活方式创业做了很多很多的铺垫,慢慢我就变成了当时在时尚芭莎的生活方式达人。比如说买什么香氛产品,买什么家具,我们的同事会问我,所以说后来我就开始懵懵懂懂地觉得我应该去做一个自己的品牌,所以后来就慢慢摸索做了自己的鲜花品牌,后来又做了果汁品牌,到现在做了自己的东方香薰生活方式品牌。观夏是从 2018 年开始筹备的。为什么做观夏呢?因为我一直在生活方式这个领域进行自己的一些探索。 2018 年从上一个项目结束之后,就遇到了我现在的合伙人也是观夏的创始人。他刚从上一家跨境电商公司出来,然后他比较厌恶了做一个非常快速,竞争非常激烈的这样的行业。他希望慢慢地把心沉下来,找一些志同道合,能慢慢地去做一件和时间做朋友的事,一帮人去做一个这样的慢品牌。 我在媒体的时候,一直在引入国外的一些生活方式的一些内容,在 2012 , 13 年的时候,我也看到了一些趋势。这个趋势就是中国东方文化的崛起,比如说在很久以前,时尚杂志都只是报道国外的一些奢侈品品牌,或者说娱乐艺术企业家的这些报道,很少把内容重点放在东方文化上面。但是我们在 2012 年就开始去做了一些关于东方的大师文化讲盘这样的一些探讨。所以遇到了我的这个创始人之后,我们想做一些慢的事。我在媒体的积累,又指引我,去做一个中国人是不是可以做一个自己的传达东方文化的生活方式品牌,这样子观夏就应运而生了。这是我的一个简单的介绍。 XQ: 谢谢你给我们大家讲了你自己的职业历程,我刚才听见有狗狗叫的声音。是你的两个毛孩子? SL: 对,是我在媒体的时候领养了两只小狗,一只泰迪,一只比熊。 XQ: 所以你上次也有跟我讲过,你是一个特别喜欢小动物的人是吧。 SL: 我觉得小动物动生平等。因为我从小都养小猫,工作了之后就养小狗。我发现身边的人其实也有的是很开心的养,但是呢养到中途又觉得很麻烦,就把他们抛弃了。这两只都是我从别人手里他们养到半道,然后不要了送给我的。 XQ: 你是一个特别有爱心的人。我们是不是可以先给我们的听众朋友讲一讲你自己在求学的时候其实经历了很多很有意思的事情,然后在这些经历当中你也对自己有了一个更深的了解。上次咱俩聊天的时候你讲过说你自己在求学的时候真的是一帆风顺的,然后被保送到了这个非常牛的学校。但是好像在进入到了这个最好的学校之后,突然就抑郁了,然后弃里从文慢慢才走出来,能不能跟大家讲一讲你在这段经历当中,你觉得你学到了什么呢? 我在 16 岁之前是一帆风顺的,不用学习,然后也不用去上课。基本上都能考全校第一名。所以说我在初中的时候就拿了一个全国奥林匹克竞赛的一等奖,被保送了我们重庆当地最好的学校叫重庆南开中学的理科试验班。 在保送进这个班之后,我的生活整个就变化了,因为所有的同学都是当地最拔尖最厉害的那些人。然后我们这个班高考的大概有 24 个人考上了清华和北大。然后他们考高考的分基本上比如说 750 的时候,我他们基本上是 730 多,740多很多很多这样的变态的同学。在这个班里学习,让我一下子整个人生观世界观就坍塌了,怎么这个世界上还有这么能学习这么厉害的,然后我再也不可以不用学习就拿到第一名。然后那个时候是一个人生重建的一个阶段,那个时候就慢慢开始怀疑自己在 16 岁之前觉得自己无所不能。然后进了这个班之后,又觉得自己好像什么都不是,为什么有这么多随便学习都比我厉害的人。那个时候我觉得是一个很灰暗,但是也是一个很好的转折点。如果说我的人生一直像 16 岁之前这样子一帆风顺的话,我觉得我可能到工作到社会不会有这么好的一个心态去面对挫折。我觉得我非常感谢那段时间的一个经历,我觉得这个经历带给我什么呢?就是一个词叫抗逆力就是抵抗逆境的一种能力。 老天在很早的时候,16岁给我送给我了一个分水岭和转折点,让我意识到我自己不是无所不能,不是什么都不用付出就可以得到最好的东西,让我们有一段短暂的时间可以重新审视我自己。然后同时在这个逆境当中,你都已经被打到谷底了,所以说不可能再差了,然后慢慢慢慢积累了自己这样的一个抗逆力之后,然后就反弹起来。所以我后来从那个班,我觉得实在我的状态不是很好,我可能也不那么适合,因为我物理化学不太好,我也不那么适合继续待在理课班,我就转去了我们文科班。然后到了文科班之后,我就年级排名前十,然后又回到了 16 岁之前的那样的一个非常自信的一个状态。但是现在回想起来那一段时间回溯自己,我觉得是一个很宝贵的一个财富。人生不可能是一帆风顺,也不可能像我刚才说的不付出就有收获。 我再回看了我们当时的很多很多同学,他们当年都是重庆市的状元,有一些是非常高的分数,几乎是满分进的清华北大,但是有一些同学就已经消失了,就完全和同学切断了联系。后来我们辗转了解到了这些同学,可能是因为他们实在是在上学的时候太顺利了,然后进到北大,进到清华,然后出离开学校进到社会,可能和这个社会的完完全全不能接受自己的一点点的小瑕疵,小挫折、小失败,然后慢慢就从一股闪亮的心变得灰暗了起来。所以现在我是感谢这段经历的,让我不是这么的一帆风顺的长大。 XQ:其实你在这个高中经历之后,还有一段经历我觉得蛮叛逆的,但是我觉得这也凸显了你自己的一个性格,我觉得你特别坚定地去坚持自己想要的东西。所以你能不能跟大家讲一讲你刚刚考大学的时候怎么样违背了你妈妈的意愿,自己重新填了志愿,然后考好了之后才跟她讲的。 SL:我填志愿跟父母商量,他们建议我学财经,学金融。因为我们家都是非常传统的家庭,我父母都是公务员,我父亲是医疗系统的,我妈妈是教育系统的。然后我的兄弟姐妹因为是一个很大的家族,整个家族大概有 150 到 200 人这个样子,一到春节可能三层楼,每层楼都坐满人,然后再聚餐再打麻将。我是非常不喜欢这种大家族这样的一种互相牵绊的。我从小就觉得我想要离开这个大家族出去看。我并不是说我们大家族的人不好,但可能我从小就是一个不那么循规蹈矩,是一个非常叛逆的人。父母说东我往西,然后在家里商量好了志愿,她们给我规划好了去读中央财经大学或者说对外经贸大学,然后最后填志愿填的是中央财经大学。我说好,我就拿着这个志愿纸,到了学校之后,我就跟老师又领了一份志愿纸,我就把这个直接改成了中国传媒大学。因为我其实从小就有一颗小小的种子埋在心里。我说我要去做传媒行业,然后希望我自己的一些想法、一些价值观,通过这样的一个载体被人发现,被人知道。 上高中的时候,当时有一段小灰暗日子的时候,我就买很多很多的时尚杂志看包括什么世界时装装苑,还有那会芭莎还没创刊,主要是世界时装装苑,包括三联生活周刊。然后我就在看这些媒体报纸报刊杂志的过程当中,就慢慢潜移默化地觉得我应该是去做一个记者,那个时候还不知道记者和编辑的一个区分和界限,我就觉得我自己要去做一个记者。所以那时候我就自己擅自把志愿改成了中国传媒大学。因为我觉得这个学校出来的不是去当播音员,去当编导或者就做记者。然后这个志愿最后出来了,我的是分还挺高的,在重庆大概是 600 分。然后我妈特别高兴,说那肯定考上了(中央财经大学)。结果一看通知书,通知书寄到家里,发现是中国传媒大学寄来的通知书,我妈当时脸就绿了。所以我当时从小还是非常叛逆的。 XQ: 你当时传媒大学毕业了以后,我觉得其实当时也有很多很多可以选择的道路,可以去做电视电视媒体,也可以去一些广播媒体,或者其他的媒体选择。为什么当时会选择进入时尚杂志这个行业呢?当时进入时尚杂志的时候,有没有一些什么曲折或者说很顺利的就进去了呢?

Protecting The Product Design The role of Patents in protecting your product design Protecting your Product Design doesn't necessarily start with  patent protections. One key is to minimise the chance of your supplier selling your product to other retailers.  Ryan's team works hard on the selection of and relationship with suppliers to ensure that their factories don't do that. If you have your own Mold,  nobody else will use that, so that creates a lot of protection against getting copycat versions of your product out there. How to Protect your Product Design by Keeping a very close relationship  with your main suppliers The key is a  a very, very close relationship with middle supplier is that we consider Ryan considers them part  of his company and his mother calls the boss her Chinese son. Keeping the molds locked away is also part of protection against being copied. They have for example a very specific set of patterns for a client, which are in locked tubes for when they are needed. How about the “no” vs. Honesty thing? Mostly suppliers will tell you they can do something when in reality they can do ⅔ of what you want. Pin down the suppliers - make them repeat things in contracts and in writing. To be  sure they can hit your specifications - put in testing! Solution:1 Sample sample sample! Core QC point - make sure the supplier don't mass produce a product until you've approved the sample! Chinese mentality of “cha abs dour”-'close enough' - is the biggest enemy. Quality control and protecting your product's quality Traditionally been so cheap to make stuff that the mentality is that it's cheaper and faster to make an approximate version initially. Then they will try to get the samples approved by the buyer. And if they have to, just redo it. QC - not just Pre-Shipment Inspection Process - Say do a tent, custom plastic: Send client fabric strips Make prototype with factory Then if think understand what client was after and custom weave hundreds of rolls Be part of the process - sometimes prototype throws up new issues, eg, Didn't think about how thick the fabric would need to be. Where are you at in the process? Prototype Sample Order process Production sample There is always a tension there Eg need tent in very specific colour etc. minimum to weave or dye a fabric - $1000s How approx do you need your prototype to be? Ryan has even been developing a product with his daughter! What sort of Custom Manufacturing service do you offer at XQ? Our service advantages help navigate some of the challenges associated with custom manufacturing: Protecting your Product Design 1- We do not sell privately developed products to other parties like many China based factories. Do you deal with freight? Usually to ship the smallest thing ocean you will pay over $700 due to the 1 time costs of import export, but we take on all these fees as part of the total container cost. 2 - we have monthly consolidated ocean containers that allow give our clients low shipping cost options to our US warehouse. 3 - We have a US company that acts as the importer so thus our US clients can pay our US company and not have to deal with international transfers, customs importing, shipping logistics, etc.  We can ship all the way to FBA for our clients. 4- We are familiar with duty rates and import restrictions and can advise on all this or for our clients who wish we can quote them with all duties considered including new Trump Tarriffs so they do not have to worry about that. We are also familiar with things like Children's Product safety Testing requirements and can navigate all that for our clients. 5 - as a US run company in China it allows us to have superior communication compared to other Chinese factories and better understand our client's needs.

Website redesign projects are typically of high strategic importance to companies, but they can be painstaking and time consuming. On this week's episode of The Inbound Success Podcast, Belch.io Founder Charles Drengberg talks about how he has shortened the amount of time needed for website redesigns, made it easier and faster to update sites over time, and in doing so, helped clients see a greater return on their website investments. Listen to the podcast to learn more about Charles's approach to website redesign projects and how you can apply these lessons to your own site redesign. Transcript Kathleen Booth (host): Welcome back to The Inbound Success podcast. My name's Kathleen Booth and I'm your host. Today, my guest is Charles Drengberg, who is the CEO and co-founder of Belch.io. Welcome, Charles. Charles Drengberg (guest): Thanks, Kathleen. I appreciate you having me on. Kathleen: Yeah, I'm excited to have you here. A little story before we get into this. I met Charles at HubSpot's INBOUND Conference in 2017, and I was standing at IMPACT's booth. We sponsored the conference and had a booth in Club INBOUND. If you've ever been to the conference, it's a huge conference. I think there was like 20,000 people this year. Club INBOUND is like the central nervous system of the conference. Everybody passes through there. It's a packed space. We had our booth and I was working. Charles was at the booth next to us and was super friendly and came over and introduced himself. I just wanted to tell this story because it's one of the things I really love about, at least my experience that I've had to date in the HubSpot world, which is that whether it's other HubSpot partner agencies or other sponsors at the conference ... I think some other conferences you go to and people feel competitive. Like, "What do you have at your booth? Why are people there and not at mine?" For whatever reason in the HubSpot world, things are so collegial and friendly. I just appreciated that. I remembered our conversation and enjoyed it, and then was very excited when I had the opportunity to have you on here. Charles: Yeah, I feel the same way. It's a little odd at first when you go to the HubSpot Conference, because you're like, "When is the shoe going to drop?" I've been to a lot of different tech conferences, marketing conferences, and there's definitely more of a family feel. Everybody wants to work together. They have the same mission, so it feels organic. Kathleen: Yeah, it's really refreshing. I think part of it is that INBOUND mindset of, "It's not about keeping things secret or holding things in." It's, "If you've got a great product or a great service, you shouldn't be afraid to," as one of my mentors used to say, "Open the Kimono and share it with the world." You don't worry about competition, you worry about doing your stuff better than anybody else, right? Charles: Absolutely. Kathleen: Charles before we jump in and talk about websites, which is one of the things we're going to discuss today, I'd love it if you could tell our audience a little bit about you. You have kind of an interesting background that has spanned the service industry, as well as SaaS and IT and technology, so tell us a little bit about your history. Charles: Yeah. Every time I tell this story to different people in different positions in marketing, it's interesting, especially with agencies, it's interesting to hear everybody else's story. Sometimes they line up, and sometimes people are like, "That's crazy that you're at this point coming through this path." Where it really started was, I guess, 10, 12 years ago, something like that, a friend and I started a sports blog. I had been writing content and getting published in local newspapers and magazines and things like that for different stuff, like sports and news and politics and a lot of satire and comedy type of writing. We started a sports blog. When we started that sports blog, we had no money. We were doing it for fun. I learned a lot from that process. We grew very, very quickly, so I was forced to learn a lot of things, like how to build a WordPress site once you maxed out what you could do on Tumblr is, I think, where we started originally. I had to learn how to build a website. I didn't have capital to start it up. That was my first time even learning how to code anything. I used to ask my wife how to add embed codes to MySpace, I think we went back that far. Once we did that, we grew to about a million readers a month, visitors a month unique. It kind of spiraled into something else where a friend of mine brought me onto his team. He was working at an IT services organization, it was a Microsoft partner. He knew I was a sales guy. He knew I was a content type of person. He knew I had a lot of ways to use digital to help him get this off the ground within that organization. I only spent about a year and a half, two years with them, but I learned a lot about what was happening in corporate marketing, where the deficiencies were with the agencies we were working with. Even our internal team at the company that I was at, they were doing ... A lot of the things that they were trying to do were right, but the execution wasn't there. I felt like I needed to step in and start doing some of that stuff myself. My entire salary and compensation was tied to success. I kind of introduced the idea of putting content out there and bringing people in, teaching them about cloud, launching Office 365 and the cloud products. We had a lot of success. I think our company became best region partner of the year for Microsoft Cloud, which was a big step for them at the time. I proved what I believed, which was put out good information, be helpful, bring people in and then just have a good process of continuing that through the sale. As I got more confident with that, a lot of people started pushing me towards doing this on my own. I had clients at night. I had startups that I was helping write pitch text for. It was all stuff I learned with my first couple of companies, my first couple of online businesses. We had a lot of success with the small clients. Then, eventually it flipped. Once you're doing more work and making more money at night than you are during the day, it's time to make that the day job. I opened up Big Presence quietly, very gently, in 2014 and just worked with contractors for a year, got my footing, found what I wanted to do. Found HubSpot as the right solution, bailed on Marketo because it just wasn't a good fit for small businesses at the time. Once we got HubSpot in place, I started hiring people in 2015. From there, it's turned into let's create products. Let's create things that people could use that make their lives easier, and that's where we're at today with Belch, which we created out of Big Presence originally. Belch is a HubSpot builder. It's a visual builder for pages, for emails, creates templates but also curates the actual pages. We're just literally trying to make marketing easier for digital marketers who are being asked to do five jobs at once when, in the past, they only had to do maybe one or two, be a content writer, maybe do email marketing. Now, they're doing branding pages and campaigns and strategies. We know it's piling up on them, because we've watched it up close. We're just trying to make it a little bit easier for everybody now. Kathleen: Yeah. It's really serving a big need in the marketplace. I mean I know this because, gosh, I owned a digital marketing agency for 10 years before I joined IMPACT. Like you, I am very self-taught in a lot of things. Maybe, unlike you, I don't have as much of the technical background. While I know enough to be dangerous with a WordPress install, I wouldn't say I'm the best website builder on the planet. In the earlier years of my agency, I was super scrappy. I would get out there and figure it out and build little websites, but I would be way out of my depth today. Things have evolved so much, even WordPress, and HubSpot has too. I think that's because, at least in my opinion, what marketers are asking to be able to do on these platforms has gotten more and more sophisticated. We want to be able to use smart content. We want to be able to create these really slick experiences that are super mobile friendly for people. What you gain in functionality and features, you might lose a little bit in user friendliness. I would never try to build a website today. I would be terrible if I did. I would certainly never charge anybody for it. I think there are ... And HubSpot tries really hard to be user friendly. I think it is a very user friendly CMS. At the same time, the average person jumping in can be very overwhelmed. Most of us are visual learners. To have a builder that is more visual and doesn't require you to understand any CSS or HTML or anything like that is a tremendous, tremendous asset not only for when you first build your site, but when you have to then maintain it. Let's be honest, getting a website launched is just the first step. Then, you have your whole marketing life ahead of you where you have to add content and update it and make changes. I see a tremendous need for it, which is one of the reasons I was excited to talk to you. Charles: Yeah. It's become obvious. I mean I picked WordPress as my platform of choice in 2013. I knew where it was going. I had watched it evolve pretty quickly from 2009 to 2013. The introduction of page builders for WordPress was huge for a lot of people, especially small agencies that don't have developers. I went the hard route where I had to learn how to actually code for whatever amount of time until we got to a point where I could hire a good developer that could do those things for me. Then, we found page builders. It was, for me, it was like an a-ha moment. I knew it was going to get this point. MailChimp, Unbounce, LeadPages, all the ones that have good drag and drop builders that are really intuitive, are easy to use, that's where all software is going. Software is meant to get easier, not more complicated. The people using it are going to have probably less technical knowledge than ever when you're talking about marketing. Most of the people working in there are 22 to 28, and it's one of their first jobs, their first, second, third job. They don't have those skills yet necessarily, unless they want to be a developer. Not a lot of developers want to work in marketing. We're trying to get rid of the need for developer in marketing, because we just know that people don't have them, especially HubSpot customers. That's the whole reason our agency exists I think. Kathleen: Yeah. Even where you do have developers who want to work in marketing, because we certainly have a bunch of them on our team, those really good developers are incredibly hard to find. I think my experience has been, not so much with IMPACT, but with other companies with which I've worked, they get poached really easily by big tech companies. I work out of a home office in Annapolis, Maryland, even though IMPACT is up in Connecticut. In this area, this is where I used to have my agency, most good developers would get hired by Under Armour, because they're the 800 pound gorilla in town. They can pay a lot of money and there's some pretty sexy projects that you can work on. A lot of the agencies in Baltimore really struggle to find and keep developers. If they find them, they have to pay them ungodly sums of money. That's not necessarily an option for a lot of companies out there. I would add, a lot of companies don't have enough work to keep a developer occupied full-time. If you're a company that is selling, I don't know, a widget for construction or something, you're probably not updating your website so much that you constantly need to have a developer on staff. Charles: Right. The other thing that we're seeing, agencies are a little bit different. We have developers at our disposal and we can use them for those things. One thing we've learned on the agency side is the customers that we deal with don't have a developer. Or if they are a software company, which a lot of my clients have been software companies, they don't have anybody that's going to step into marketing and help out with marketing. They're building applications, they're doing things that are more mission critical maybe to the operations side of the business. For us, we're looking at helping agencies is one thing, especially smaller agencies, but customers too. Those are people that they go direct to HubSpot. They might not have an agency attached yet and they still have one marketer who has to design the assets, who has to write the content, who has to put it into HubSpot. If they get hung up on trying to build a custom template and that's somewhere they're uncomfortable, it slows things down. They end up cutting corners. They start using the same templates over and over. We know for a fact that reduces the conversion rate on those templates that you're using over and over and over all the time.  Kathleen: We've talked about why there's such a need for this. Clearly, having a good website is important. Clearly, keeping your website up to date is important, but it's challenging. I want to take a step back from what we've been talking about here, which is why Belch came into existence, and I want to talk about really the underlying pain point, which for most companies is having that awesome website and in my years of doing this, I've seen so many companies come to me with dramatically outdated websites or they don't have a website at all if they're a new company and they need to either do a redesign or create a website from scratch and particularly in cases where companies are redesigning sites, that can be a very long drawn out, very, very painful process, but it's vitally important for them to get to the other side because that's where they know they're going to have a site that accurately reflects what they do. That is a better selling tool for their business, et cetera. You've been involved in a lot of website redesigns. I mean, that's really what led you to creating this product. Do you have any examples of a website redesign projects where there have been pretty dramatic improvements before and after? Charles: Yeah. I hate to say to us but a lot of the clients we've worked with for the last three or four years were in bad shape or like what you're talking about. They had something but it wasn't serving them at all. One thing we do is we literally will track people before we do a redesign, see what people are doing on the website and specifically find what we need to improve, so that when afterwards, we're looking back at the stats, we're seeing numbers on average, double organic traffic on a redesign on the month or two or three, whatever we measure following a redesign. So organic traffic is usually number one. Most companies with a bad website, SEO is the last thing that we're going to probably do with a bad website. So we see traffic there, but the bigger part that we really focus on is conversion rates. If we're getting people into the site, we're obviously going to be more and more work to push into the site. But if you're not converting people on the site, you're not getting data from people when they come in, like email addresses to reach out to them later, you're missing out on a lot of opportunity and that's the biggest place that we focus is, just get email addresses, let's build databases. People with bad websites generally have bad databases, usually fed by salespeople who bought lists. So one, we're coaching them and teaching them, that's not gonna work anymore. GDPR is a good reason to pull out in 2018 to point to. But it also just doesn't work. Lists are dead. It's the worst thing ever to be on a call team and have to do cold calls, which I've done in the past. So when we do a redesign, we're trying to solve problems, but the biggest ones that we see are organic traffic through the roof after a redesign, and then also the conversion rate, usually double or triple within a couple of months than they before. Kathleen: So can you share maybe a story of when you've been able to do that? Charles: Sure. So one company that I can point out is XQ Innovation. XQ does something that's really cool, which we're partners with them and we're friends with them now, one of the owners is a former fraternity brother of one of the guys that works for me. So that's how we got introduced to them. What they do is executive coaching, emotional intelligence training. They work with executives, they work with teams, they help them communicate better and they do it all based on like data driven assessments. So anybody out there that's listening to you or done DISC assessments and gone through that whole thing, it's that but like on steroids. So what we did with them, if you went to their website a year and a half ago, it looked like an institutional website with tons of content, which was good. They had a lot of tons of content, lots of research, lots of studies and all these things. But I think if you went to it, you would never have hired them necessarily because yiou didn't really know what they did. It was very confusing. We're going to coach you on this, some classes for this and help you with that. But it wasn't focused. So we did a rebrand for them last year, I think, the beginning of last year. A full rebrand and then redesign the website. The key was really who are they and what do they do. So I sat down with their ownership and helped them decide like, "This is who you are, this is who I think you guys are, because that's who you are to us." They said we nailed it on the first try. So now when you go to their website, it's very, very clear, XQ Innovation, which is at www.xqinnovation.com, if anybody wants to look at it. It's very clear what they do. It's very clear how they help people. They have their free assessment on there, which is kind of their offer right now. We have eBooks and stuff like that too but a free assessment is what everybody should try because it'll give you a report, tell you exactly who you are, what your behaviors are, kind of tell you why your behaviors are the way they are in many ways. Then if you take it with somebody else on their team, they can match you up and say, "This is how you two need to communicate with each other." It changes the dynamic of a company when you go through it as a team. So with them they've seen an immediate lift. I think they're in Bahamas right now doing a training for a huge furniture company down there that they got from their website, that they wouldn't have gotten before and that's a big deal for them. They're a small startup, but everybody needs what they do. They just needed to present it in a new way. I think we've done a good job with that because they don't really call me and they just ... They're always on a trip. They're always meeting with a new company. We've used every aspect of HubSpot, it's going to do that for them. So we built the HubSpot site using Belch, so we could get it up quick and easy for them and now we're just running everything through HubSpot as far as marketing too. Kathleen: So if you had to say what the top three or four factors were in kind of the transformation that you made on their site that delivered such great results. It sounds like if I'm hearing you right, one of them is putting in place a really good lead magnet, which is this free assessment. Another was the messaging, being really clear about what they did. What would you say the other two would be? Charles: I think simplicity of the design of their site. There's not a lot of content on it right now. There's content on their blog and resources and things, but if you go to their services pages, you want to learn about their assessments, you want to learn about their coaching programs, it's very straightforward. It's only enough to get the conversation going and hit the pain points that people have inside their business and let them self identify. Because we want them to talk to the guys at XQ, the whole team at XQ because once they talk they can find out what the real problem are, is. For example, if I went to their website three years ago before I met them, I would have thought my problem was getting the most out of the younger people on my team, how do I motivate them, I don't have enough time, maybe I'm not the right coach for them and I'm not and we found that out through the assessments, but I wouldn't have hired them because I wouldn't have seen that part of it. When I look up on their site now is performance. When I see the word performance, I'm immediately drawn to it. Then when I go and talk to them, they'll say, "Oh, well that's not your problem. Your problem is really that everybody just needs to be more self aware." That's something that we're working on as a team. It wasn't me being a bad coach. It wasn't them being lazy or anything like that. It was people needed to be in the right job with the right responsibilities that motivated them and we needed to know what motivated people and some people don't know what that is. So they helped us kind of understand like I'm not motivated by money, I'm motivated by helping other people and I'm motivated by building something that can be proud of but not necessarily money. So learning that about myself helped me understand like, "Okay, I need to focus more of my time on this. Let somebody else worry about the money aspect of what we're doing because that's not going to motivate me everyday." If I have to look at it, I'll probably get annoyed after awhile. Kathleen: Yeah. I don't think there's anybody who couldn't benefit from learning more about those aspects of themselves. I think that's so powerful. I'm a huge believer in DISC. I've probably taken it 20 times over the years. I used to teach a class that involved it and I've used to make everybody at my agency take a DISC when we hired them and I've taken a number of times. Anybody who knows me would not be surprised at all to know that I'm super high D, but I'm fascinated by what it can tell you because it's not about ... I always look at those assessments and I think it's not about like, "Okay, this is who you are, get used to it." It's just it's self awareness, it's understanding what drives you and what your strengths are and what your weaknesses are and learning how to adapt from that. The best example I ever saw of what to do with that information is I took a communications class about two years ago and it was a company that I wound up sending everybody who worked for me to take this class and the man who taught it had everybody do DISC. Of course I came in with my usual extremely high D and then I think I have some C and I'm like barely any I and S at all. So you show everybody your results and then at the end of it he says, "Can anybody guess what I am?" Everybody was kind of stumped on that one and it was so interesting because he's probably one of the best listeners I've ever met. Like really able to pace himself in conversations and let ... Draw other people out and this and that and if you know anything about DISC, you know that Ds like I am are super impatient, we like to ... We cut people off a lot. We interact. We talk over because our minds are thinking fast and we're impatient and we just want to get it out. I was totally shocked that he had the exact same DISC profile as me and we could not have been more different. I was like, "Wow, you're my role model. I aspire to be you because I never would have pegged it." Charles: Sounds very similar to my situation with Joe at XQ. We're the same profile, actually three of us, Joe and Cyrus, we're same profile, but Joe's 60, I think he's in his 60s. Sorry Joe if you're not. Cyrus is my age. So it's funny because we're watching Joe and going, "I want to be as relaxed as him. I want to be as calm as him," and that's literally what I work all the time. It's just slowing the D down, that's the problem. Kathleen: Yeah. It's like they're more evolved human beings. Charles: Yeah, self awareness for everybody on our team has been huge. So, that project was probably as beneficial for us as it was for them. I know they're doing better, but we're also doing better just working with them. Kathleen: That's so cool. Well, I can't wait to take that assessment. I'm curious, how long did that website redesign project take you guys? Because I know from experience these things always A, take longer than you think and B, they generally take a very long time. Charles: Yeah. This one didn't take very long at all. We have iterated on it since then, initially, I would say from start to finish maybe a month and a half or two. Kathleen: What? Charles: The key was that Joe and Cyrus were very trusting of me in making a lot of the decisions of how we want to lay this out, what the content needs to be. Because I think I put a lot of energy into the brand development and helping them identify who they really are that Joe admitted this to me, he's like, "I just want to let you do it because I'll just get in away. I don't know marketing." One of the greatest things you can ever say to a marketing agency by the way, I don't want to get in the way. Kathleen: I trust you. Yeah. Charles: So it went quicker. Then we built it with Belch. So if we have built this just with built our own templates and we did it with the design tools inside of HubSpot, probably would have taken an extra 25 to 40 hours somewhere in between there of development time, but I didn't have to pass it to a developer. I'll admit I can't build on HubSpot that well, that's not my thing, but I can build with Belch. So as I was designing it, I was building it with Belch and publishing the pages and then just linking up the pages inside of HubSpot. So we were ready to launch it instantly. There was no hold over, there was no waiting. There's no staging and moving it or anything like that. So it was a little faster than a normal project and the site's not that big. So I don't want to take too much credit. Kathleen: No, but what I think is meaningful about what you just said is it would have taken an extra 25 to 40 hours of development work and if you consider that most marketing agencies bill out somewhere between call it $125 to $175 an hour, that's what? That's at least $3,000 to $5,000 of money saved. Charles: Right. Kathleen: By using Belch to design because you didn't have to spend that extra 25 to 48 hours. Charles: Right. Kathleen: Or 40 hours rather to hire a developer. Charles: Yeah. The other good part about it is like saving money is a big part of it, obviously. Saving the pass through back and forth from design to developer, developer needs to change something because it's not going to work, we don't have to think like that when we're designing and building with Belch because we know what it's capable of. We know what's going to work so we don't design something that's not going to work inside of it and if we do it's custom and we're just going to build up inside of HubSpot anyway. But it's a lot more clear cut and the steps are a lot faster because there's not as many people having to touch it. My designers can literally be my developers at the same time, which is huge. Kathleen: Yeah. And then you avoid that game of telephone that happens when you have your designer sketch something out, and then it goes to a developer, and it may or may not always come back looking exactly like the designer wanted, so you don't have to deal with that at all. The thing that I find kind of compelling about the value proposition is shortening the time to develop this site. I mean, yes, it's nice to save a couple thousand dollars, but for most of these companies, that's ... They would be willing to spend more to get something great, but what's really valuable is getting the new website faster. When, you know, you were talking about how they're traveling all over doing these workshops and things from leads they got on the site, every month, week, whatever that the site has not been launched is a week, or a month, or what have you of time when you're not getting those leads, and it's lost business opportunities. Charles: Right. Kathleen: So, the time to realize ROI from the project is much shorter if you can finish that website faster. Charles: Yeah. That, and after the project, adding new pages, adding new content, changing the content. So, the way that Belch works is, we're not an external builder that isn't going to work inside of HubSpot. It's not going to be a static template that you can't change. We've written it, and we've integrated it in a way that, you publish something out of Belch, and it goes into HubSpot, it still functions as if you had built it in HubSpot. You still have rich text editing, you still have all the modules that you would normally have, so for our client, if they don't want to call us all the time, they're a startup, so they don't really want to spend 150 an hour on us doing custom development on it or whatever. So if they want build another page, they literally could just use some of the existing templates, and they can just clone them, change their content, anybody on their team, and they have no developers over there, anybody on their team can build a new page, add a new service, and add a new row, put something else on a page that didn't exist before, so their cost, long-term, is much, much lower than it would have been if we had built it custom, and then they're locked in to stuff and had to call us every day. That's good for an agency to keep getting calls and keep bringing in money, but eventually a client may get tired of paying for things that they don't see as necessary, and they see all these flashy tools every day in their emails saying, "Website builder," and "Build a website in an hour," which you see on TV with Wix all the time. It's like, please stop telling people that because it's making it hard for us to validate what we're doing over there. It's not that easy. Kathleen: Yeah. And I think when agencies create websites in a way that their clients can't update them, it breeds resentment. Because, I can tell you, we have a client at Impact that we're working with, and we're about to redesign their website, and they came to us from another HubSpot partner agency, and one of the reasons they came was that agency built their site in a way that it was totally locked down, and this client couldn't go in and change or update anything without not only booking the agency's time, and sometimes that can take a little while, but paying them, and it's ridiculous. It is completely ridiculous. If you have people on your staff who are able to do this, they should have the ability to update a website, and it just bred such resentment on the part of the client that they couldn't change anything. We can't change anything in it they way they set it up. So, this other agency, they're going to have to unlock the functionality, or what's probably going to happen is we're going to completely redesign the site because they just don't want to deal with it. It's a horrible situation, and I would actually say to anybody listening, if you are not from an agency, if you're in a company that has a website, that is a major red flag, in my opinion. This is something that I've believed strongly since I started my agency a long time ago, which is that you should never be shackled to the agency you're working with and dependent upon them. The relationship should be one of, more of them empowering you, and if you want them to take things off your plate to save time or be more efficient, great, but you should never be completely dependent upon them. Charles: Yeah. Kathleen: And that goes for, you should have all the passwords to everything, you should ... I'm a big believer that you shouldn't have your agency host your website. You should have your own hosting account. You should own all of that because your website, in this day and age, is your most important marketing asset, so why would you give some other company control over it? It's crazy. Charles: Right. Yeah. Kathleen: Anyway, end rant. But ... Charles: It's a good rant, though. It's what I preach, and I'm still in it, so I'm still doing this with people every day, and every time I run into a site like that I pull my hair out, I get frustrated, I get angry at the other agency, and that's why we build on WordPress, on HubSpot, on Shopify. Everything is built so I can hand it to my clients and say, "Do as much as you can with this. I want you to be able to use this. I want you to be spending your time in there and building. I want you calling us when there's something that you don't know how to do, or there's a strategy that needs to be created, or a new process needs to be developed, or there's just skillsets that you don't have internally. I want you to call us for that, but managing a website in 2018 is something you should be able to do on your own." Kathleen: Yeah. You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of the old Gold's Gym membership model where you had to commit to 12 months, and then if you didn't submit your cancellation in, like, the two-day window 30 days before the 12 months ended, you literally had to, like, send them your death certificate to get out of the membership. I mean, I remember, and I will say it on air, I had my cousin who owns a company in New York fake an employment offer letter so that I could get out of my Gold's Gym membership because they were never going to let me out of it. I literally was going to be like an indentured servant to Gold's Gym for the rest of my life. And what you've seen is that that model has disappeared because people hate it, and if you are in a position where your customers are literally lying to get out of your agreements, something is fundamentally broken in your business model. Charles: Right. Kathleen: And that's what that reminds me of, is just, you know, trapping people into keeping their websites with you is not a way to grow a great business. So ... Charles: And I think this is why we all get along at the HubSpot INBOUND Conference. Because I think all of us feel this way, and if we all had this conversation with a hundred people we met at INBOUND, it wound be the same thing.  Kathleen: God, I hope so. Charles: Yeah. Kathleen: Yeah, it's terrible. So, listeners, if that's your situation, run, flee, get out of it, and find another agency. Charles: Absolutely. Kathleen: Well, cool. That's a great ... it's a great story, and I think it holds some important lessons. You know, it's all about, you've got to have a high-performing website, and it shouldn't take forever to build it, it shouldn't cost an ungodly sum of money, and then you should be able to maintain it going forward. Barring, you know, really highly customized or specialized features, you should be able to add content, add pages, so that not only are you moving fast, and being agile, and keeping the site up to date, but you're keeping your costs down, and you're not dependent upon an agency. Charles: Absolutely. Kathleen: So, if somebody is listening and they're interested in using Belch, who is it right for? Charles: Really, anybody that's creating landing pages, website pages, or emails for HubSpot. Right now, the HubSpot ... I'll give you an example. We built an additional tool that goes side-by-side with our builder. So, if you want to try the builder, it's app.belch.io, and you can go right in. All you do is log in with your HubSpot account, so everybody should at least go try it. You get free trial. As you enter into it, you can publish for free, so don't worry about having to pay to publish anything. But even just something simpler for people that maybe want to kind of put the toe in the water, we built a form styler, too, using the same technology, the same kind of interface, at forms.belch.io, and all you have to do is go in there. You can either put the embed code for your HubSpot account if you don't want to connect it to the form styler, or you can connect through HubSpot and pick any form in your database and change all aspects of the design of it, the width of it, the height, the padding, colors, background, inputs. Anything that you can do CSS, you can do with the builder, and it takes ... Anybody can use it. So, we want creatives, we want marketers, we want the people that are driving marketing to be the ones that are building marketing, and we think it'll be faster, more affordable, more will get done. We're trying to break that mold of, just use what's there, and just plug in whatever you have. We want people to feel like, "I need an email that has this, this, and this in it. I'm going to go make it," and a half hour later it's ready. It should be that easy, and we're just trying to get people there a little bit faster. Kathleen: So, we've talked a lot about websites, but now I want to make sure that I understand correctly. Belch can be used by a non-developer to design a website, an email, style a form ... Anything else on that list? Charles: And landing pages. Kathleen: And landing pages. Okay, great. Charles: Yeah. Kathleen: And that form builder tool, is that a free tool that anybody can use? Charles: Yup. It's free. Just, forms.belch.io. We're leaving it open. We want people to learn how to use our builder, and that's really just ... That's something that ... I'm also just tired of seeing the default form out there, the HubSpot form. Kathleen: Yeah. Charles: No offense to HubSpot, but just tired of seeing people with that on their site. You should have that branded. It should look clean. That's the gateway to your lead, and if you're just leaving it there, and it looks like whatever, people are not going to treat it with the same respect, so we want people to be able to do that. You don't have to call a developer to style your form.  Kathleen: Nice! Well, I will definitely put links to all of that in the show notes, so check that out if you're interested in styling your forms, gettin' 'em stylin'. All right. So, before we wrap up, two questions for you that I ask all of my guests. The first is, and I'm curious to hear your answer because you've been in different aspects of the world of inbound marketing, company or individual, who do you think is doing inbound marketing really well right now? Charles: Yeah. It's hard to pick one, so I'm going to give you three, but for three different reasons, too. Design, I'm always about Google's marketing whether it's what they put up on their site and draw people in with, the videos they make. The emails: how simple, and clean, and to the point they are. So, I always look to them for design inspiration. When it comes to content and substance, Shopify has done a really good job over the last two and a half years of upping their game as far as creating good content, but also sending email marketing that feels really tailored to me. I don't feel like I need to swat it down or unsubscribe. I feel like if I don't need it, it's okay. I can look at it later. But they do a good job of giving me the right content. And then I'd say methodology. Databox, which is also a HubSpot ... A lot of HubSpot agencies are using it. We are, too. The method that they're using for inbound marketing is awesome. Like, I'm even learning from what they're doing over there. Give Pete Caputa some credit 'cause he knows marketing very well. They're good at creating content through their users, through their customers, which was something that was, like, why didn't I think of that? That's a good idea. If you have a lot of users, and they're engaged, they want to contribute to your content and say, "Here's how I'm doing it," "Here's how I'm using your tool," "Here's a great way to do this," that's something that we could all learn from. I think they're doing a really good job of it. Kathleen: Yeah. I actually interviewed Pete Caputa for the podcast. He was one of my earlier guests, and he talked in detail about how he does those crowdsourced blog posts, and I think he got a 600% increase in organic traffic in six months doing that. And it was funny. When I interviewed him, he said, "I tell people all the time how I do this, and nobody ever goes out and copies it, so who's going to be the first one?" And I haven't seen too many people do it since then, so I'll put that link in the show notes, too, and people can check that out again. Charles: We're on our way. Well, I'm watching very carefully. I talked to Pete last week ... Kathleen: Nice. Charles: So, I'm going to be doing more and more of that. We're kind of more focused on getting the app ready for everybody, and we launched it only a few weeks ago, so ... The web app we only launched about three weeks ago, so for us it's, we're building that up, and we're having those conversations with customers, and now we're going to start creating that type of content 'cause it works. It's a great way to get people involved. Kathleen: That's great. I can't wait to see what you guys do with that, and then you'll get the gold star badge for being the student who finally did what Pete told everybody to do. Charles: Perfect. Kathleen: Second question. With the world of digital marketing changing so quickly, how do you stay up to date and how do you educate yourself? Charles: That's a good question. Being that I'm in the thick of it so much and we're working with so many other technologies that are kind of at the front, I feel like I'm in it. So, when things are changing, we're part of the change and we're usually leading some of the change; but I read everything. So, I'm subscribed to every newsletter that anybody's probably subscribed to for marketing and I'll take an hour or two every other day to read through those and find things that are new; because I'm only focused on new. I'm not looking at optimization necessarily, I'm not looking at other tricks, I'm looking for what's coming out. So, when something comes out, we can be out in front of it and know this is going to be impactful for these clients or these clients, or this is something we need to wrap into Belch that's going to help people do things. So, Google's newsletters, everything. SEO partners, development, marketing, AdWords. All of it, to me because I am the technical side, I understand enough of it. I know how it drives things for marketers. I know how it affects different parts of marketing or sales. So, I'm watching everything that's happening with cloud platforms. From posting to partnerships, to acquisitions; and then our partners. So, Shopify, HubSpot, WP Engine, Amazon, Google obviously and then a lot of the other ones. Even SharpSpring nowadays. We're talking to them more and more. Watching what they're doing and watching the features of the ad and the thing that they're focused on and the things that they talk about are generally a good indicator of what's happening with their customers and if we have customers that they have, we'd need to be paying attention to it too. So, even little things like news. This is something that's important, or a new hire. Sometimes just watching who HubSpot hired, or who Google hired, or Shopify hired will tell you a lot about what they're about to do the next year or two. So, I pay attention to those things too, just in small press release that kind of go unnoticed because you can get out in front of things that way. Kathleen: Yeah, there's just so much information out there and so much to absorb that I always liken it to drinking from a fire hose. Charles: Yeah. Kathleen: It's tough. But yeah, you kind of have to know which companies you admire and follow those. Charles: Absolutely. Partners are a good thing to do. If you have good partners and they're doing good content, which all of ours do great content. It makes it a little bit easier because they're doing a lot of the hard work for you but a lot of the times, we're bringing stuff to them and saying, "This is something you don't realize is a problem yet but you should." Because we're ... I work in the agency world, we do different things. From eCommerce to software companies, international companies. We hear about things and we feel it coming a little bit sooner than maybe the bigger players, who might not be thinking about it yet but when you're down on the ground, you feel it and you know you have to do something different. Which is why we built something like Belch. We saw the complaints, we saw people didn't want to pay for custom templates and that generated a need for us. So, hopefully everybody else sees the value in it now too. Kathleen: That's great. Well, if somebody has a question about what you've talked about, wants to reach out to you individually, what's the best way for them to find you online? Charles: Yeah, you can just email me, Charles@Belch.io. That's really ... I spend all my time in my inbox. Not on Twitter, doing much over there. So, yeah. Just email me directly, especially if you want a demo. I'm happy to walk people through how to use it. Not everything is obvious as far as benefits of Belch. So, we like to hear what people are thinking about trying to solve and if you're trying to build a website, there's a right way to do it. There's tricks and there's work arounds to making the HubSpot CMS more user friendly as far as managing a website. So, we're helping people through those things and we're building things into our app every day. Literally every day something new is coming in there and we need people to tell us what they want. So, my best conversations are customer feedback calls, where they're saying, "Hey, this is awesome but what if it could do this?" Or, "What if it could do that?" And it's cool that people are willing to tell us what they want because we can build it. We just need to know that there's a real need for it. So, you can always reach out to me via email. Kathleen: All right. I'll put your email on the show notes too and thank you so much for joining me this week. Really interesting to hear about how the product came about and where it's heading and the problem that it's solving. If you are listening and you liked what you heard today, I would love it if you would consider giving the podcast a review in iTunes or Stitcher, or wherever you happen to listen to podcasts; and if you know somebody who's doing kick ass inbound marketing work, Tweet me, @WorkMommyWork because I would love to interview them. That's it for this week. Thank you, Charles. Charles: Thank you, Kathleen.

Annyeong Ya'll! So much good music has released recently! On this week's show, we have new stuff from Girls' Generation, Primary, CLC, more. I was in a lot of different moods this week and I think that'll show in this week's mixtape as there is a little bit of everything. First things first: The Girls Are Back. Girls' Generation has comeback with their 6th album entitled, "Holiday Night," and boiiiii am I loving it. The album does seem to have a more modern, mature sound that some may not be used to hearing from SNSD, but I think it's great. Some of the girls even helped write on the album. I played a few of my favorite joints from that album this week including the two main releases "Holiday" & "All Night." And if haven't already, go check out the 10th anniversary mix I did for Girls' Generation. It's a great way to go down memory lane for longtime SONEs, or a great history lesson for those not familiar with SNSD's work. We also got a new drop from legendary producer Primary. His latest release is called, "Shininryu," which roughly translates to "new people." The name fits as he features some of the best up and coming Korean artists out there such as Sumin, Sam Kim, OFA, pH-1, & Car, The Garden, all of whom are frequent to the show. Definitely go check this release out if you enjoy the tracks I've played on this week's show. Besides all of that, I tried to mix it up a little bit this week with some more unique sounding Kpop releases. I've been playing the hell out of that new CLC "Where Are You?" It's great how these girls get better with every comeback and continue to surprise me. I also threw in some acoustic live performances and covers from G.Soul, Chancellor, Jooyoung, & K.Will. And added some softer jazz influenced stuff as well. I just tried to go all over the map with this one so expect a journey.
