Jonathan talks about Natural Selection's first ski comp with Craig ‘Weazy' Murray, winner of the men's division. Craig blew minds in AK with his style and massive transfer gaps, and it's all even more impressive when you consider the ludicrous talent level at the comp, as well as the fact that Craig was dealing with a knee injury that had him questioning whether he'd even be able to compete.Weazy takes us behind the scenes of Natural Selection; what differentiates it the most from other comps; and we also talk about Craig's other passions, including riding mountain bikes at an increasingly high level, and the work he and his friends are doing with their organization, GRITT, which is providing pathways for kids to get into the outdoors and action sports, with a focus on snowsports, climbing, and mountain biking.RELATED LINKS:Get Covered: BLISTER+Craig's Organization: GRITTCraig's Natural Selection Runs:* Run 1 (first round)* Run 2 (Semi-Final run 1 w/ the ridiculous transfer gap)* Run 3 (Semi-Final run 2)* Run 4 (Final run 1)* Run 5 (Final run 2)MSP Behind the Scenes: Craig's Dub-FlatArc'teryx Film, WeazyPivot Cycles: Holiday w/ a PurposeTOPICS & TIMES:News: BLISTER+ and Physical Therapy (1:15)Winning the 1st Natural Selection Ski comp (4:03)Getting Contacted about NST?

Parents have various ways to cope with the pain of prolonged estrangement from their adult children. One of them is to find a way to let their children go, with love, in their hearts. Letting an adult child go can bring a measure of relief to those who are able to do it. They may feel more peaceful and less sad. It's relatively easy to let go of someone in silence. But what happens if they suddenly contact you? Reconnection Club Podcast host Tina Gilbertson speaks to parents having just that experience. They're caught in a dilemma between silence and peace on the one hand, and undependable contact on the other. In this illuminating episode, Tina suggests leaning in to this dilemma as a first step to finding your way past it. For more on relationships between parents and adult children, including what goes wrong and how parents can respond effectively, read Tina's book, Reconnecting With Your Estranged Adult Child.

Reconciliation between parents and no-contact adult children can be thought of as a phase of estrangement. That means that for many parents, reconciliation will be disappointing – at least for a while.  Things aren't back to normal. Conversation doesn't flow. You might still feel estranged, even though there's contact. What's going on? In this episode, Tina normalizes some of the disappointing and frustrating aspects of reconciliation. She explains that it's nobody's fault, and that it may require continued personal and interpersonal development.  If your adult child's behavior seems unpredictable even though they're supposed to be reconciled, it doesn't mean the process has stalled. It may simply mean that it's getting under way.

«We are going to treat our data at the highest level, making sure that we can use it as a competitive advantage. Then it's a strategic choice.»Unlock the strategic potential that lies at the heart of Data and AI with our latest discussion featuring Anna Carolina Wiklund from IKEA. Embark on a thought-provoking journey with us as we dissect the significance of robust strategies in shaping digital landscapes. From the role of data as the lifeblood of digital commerce to the ways it can radically alter customer behavior, this episode promises insights that redefine the boundaries of e-commerce and digital merchandising. We explore the complex interplay between business, digital and data, revealing how the alignment of strategies across various organizational levels can forge a path to  business impact. Learn how a coherent vision can transform not just marketing strategies, but also those of HR and other departments, and the critical importance of shifting from output to outcome-focused objectives to measure success.Finally, we navigate through the evolution of strategy in the face of AI's relentless march, examining the essential need for agility and visionary thinking to keep pace with a rapidly transforming arena. This episode is a masterclass in instilling a culture of excellence, accountability, and collaboration that can propel companies forward. With real-world examples and actionable insights, we offer a clarion call for businesses to reassess and adapt, ensuring that their strategies are not just surviving, but thriving, in the AI era. Join us and fortify your strategic acumen for an increasingly digital future.My key takeaways:«When we talk about product mindset its all about how we work as a team.»It is important to ensure aligned autonomy, when working in a compartmentalized organization with product management. You are delivering a piece to the totality.«Now, we need to have an adaptive Strategy everywhere.»Digital is the totality, the ecosystem that you are creating. Data has to flow in that ecosystem.There is no digital without data, but there is data without digital.People are coming and going within your company, and are bringing data along.One StrategyThe goal of strategy is to create one clear direction for the company.If you have multiple strategies, you will pull people in different directions.Break down strategies in where you deliver the value.Organizational models and actual value creation do not always overlap.There are transversal strategies that stretch throughout the entire organization (eg. HR, product), whilst there are specific strategies that strive towards one goal (eg. marketing).You can no longer afford to have business and digital separated.Digital tools do not deliver any value unless they are part of a process and used by the business.Ensure that you measure that matters, what is the value that you are creating.You need to work on a mindset for the totality of the organization, not a digital vs business mindset.OKRs can help to get that forward leaning mindset and to become more process oriented.The strategic part is really the choices you have, while plan is the actions you take towards these choices.A plan is about creating transparency in the company, so everyone understands what they are delivering and how it fits together.You need to have a goal to work towards. Your Strategy is laying out the logic to get there.«Culture eats strategy for breakfast»

Welcome to the Eternal Life Podcast, a series looking at Seven Questions every Intelligent Skeptic should ask about Jesus of Nazareth. This is a special free podcast series, created for anyone who genuinely seeks truth, but sometimes struggles to believe in the miraculous and supernatural elements of the Christian faith. I am Rory Vaden, and I hope this is a safe space for you to belong, without necessarily having to believe. I aim to objectively explore the logical, historical, and academic facts and circumstances surrounding Jesus's life, whom many have come to call, Christ. I aspire to convince each and every listener, my sons included, to dive in deep and spend time exploring this topic. Delve into and research the foundational elements of Christianity, which include exploring whether Jesus was a real human living on the earth, that He truly was the Son of God, and that Jesus indeed was raised from the dead (dead in human form). This series is an exploration of the facts, from my source of truth, the Bible. I strongly believe that the Bible contains confident and clear answers to questions many of us have. As we embark on this journey of critical thinking, exploration, and the pursuit of truth, we will delve into seven pivotal questions. Each episode will contain a factual investigation into potential solutions for the following thoughts:   1. What is Your Strategy for Defeating Death?2. What Evidence is there that Jesus was a Real Person?3. Was Jesus Just a Good Teacher or Something More?4. What Evidence is there that Jesus was a Deity?5. What Evidence is there that Jesus Rose from the Dead?6. How do you get into Heaven?7. What do we know about Heaven?So as we dive into our first episode, we take a look at the first of the seven questions: What is Your Strategy for Defeating Death? Another rendition of the same question could be, "Is it Worth the Time to Explore Eternity?” Allow me to guide you through three compelling reasons that, in my opinion, make a strong case for at least considering the exploration of Christianity. We will look at each of these reasons in more detail, and they encompass:Reason 1: It could carry eternal implications for you. Reason 2: The Bible provides answers and can be a source of truth for your life.Reason 3: If the story of Jesus is real, and there truly is a resurrection, then that means there is a heaven; an eternity. In short, should the account of Jesus prove to be accurate, then it's possible you'll never be separated from those you love. I am not a pastor, nor a studied theologian. I am a New York Times bestselling author, an 8-figure entrepreneur, a Hall of Fame speaker with a TEDx talk that has more than 4 million views, a researcher, and simply, a husband and a father. So, from the perspective of a curious entrepreneur, a lifelong student, a pragmatist, and skeptic, and someone who believes this is a topic we need to look at, I dive into an exploration of the facts. I may have minor discrepancies in the things that I share on the podcast, and I will try to use plain, non-jargon terminology, however, I have taken a great deal of time to verify the factual stability of what I plan to present in this series. I want you to know that I will always seek truth — even when it's inconvenient or it creates conflict. I highly encourage you to proceed with an open mind and supplement this with your own exploration of the truth. Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Eternal Life Podcast ResourceAndy StanleyRory VadenRory Vaden on X

Basically, if your agency isn't planning on using AI at all in 2023, you are making a mistake. On the other hand, if you think AI is going to replace freelancers, fool Google, and you'll never need a writer again, that's also a mistake. The reality is, agencies need to be using AI as soon as the next few months. We should all learn to use AI not as a catch-all, but as an actual tool. To this end, work with people who really understand AI. Find the balance. As it stands right now, AI tools can produce a lot of words. However, there are a lot of weaknesses: Factual accuracy. There's actually no guarantee the content produced by an AI is correct. Sentence structure. A blog post created by AI does not necessarily have a logical structure or make sense at all. Weakened SEO. Google knows AI-generated created content apart from what is human-written. It is tempting for agencies to look at AI as a way to produce content at a much lower cost. However, with these weaknesses, the best alternative is a hybrid approach. Take content created by AI and improve it with human editing. We shouldn't view AI as a service or a finished product. It can do great work in saving writers from a blank page. With the right prompt, AI is great at generating ideas and continuing thoughts. As long as the writer is there to review and (probably) make significant edits, it can be really effective. First Steps to Integrate AI as Part of Your Strategy in 2023 Curious about AI? Try a free version of any of the existing tools. This way, you can get a sense of their potential and learn how it works. If you're not interested in exploring these tools in your own time, work with someone who is doing this. The important thing is to have a vision of how to integrate these tools into agency work. Don't try to just jump into technology because it's new without a vision for how it serves your agency. You don't want to be the agency getting content that ranks but doesn't convert and never makes money for the client. AI is an incredibly powerful tool. However, it will add costs, both financially and in terms of time and effort. Instead of hiring an entire team of in-house writers or relying on the free version of the AI tool, find a partner who can provide AI expertise. Why Aren't More Agencies Using AI for Content? Can agencies use AI to make money? Yes, absolutely. But are they doing it yet? Verblio's recent marketers survey reveals NO, agencies are actually lagging behind in the use of AI tools. Verblio found agencies have been slow to adapt because they're afraid of losing clients. They fear it could break trust or threaten the agency's position with the client. But, how true is this? Clients look at agencies as the experts to tell them if they should be using AI or not. The key is transparency. No one should be using AI to save money and hide it from the client. The use of AI also depends on the type of agency. A branding agency won't get as much use of AI as an SEO agency trying to produce content as rapidly as possible. There is also an advantage to having the surge of AI now as opposed to 10 years ago. The Google algorithm is much better now at rewarding quality results. The algorithm doesn't care how the content was created - it only cares about answering the searcher's query. All AI content is not created equal.  How you plan to use it determines how efficient it proves to be for your agency and the results it achieves for your clients. For instance, if you're creating content around cutting-edge technology, it will not give the best results. AI is great for local SEO on more general topics because it's been trained with existing online content. 3 Tips to Make AI Effective for Your Agency's Content Creation Be transparent about AI use. Don't underestimate the importance of being transparent with clients regarding your use of AI. Some of them may be concerned you're not using it enough, or on the contrary that you're overdoing it. An honest conversation about this allowing them to voice their concerns goes a long way. Human intervention makes it work. Figuring out the best way to use AI is really important to get the best results possible. Take whatever the tool creates and give it a quick edit. To really get the most out of AI, have a human involved in the process providing structure and input throughout. Find a partner. The current economy makes the use of AI very valuable. It's not a time when many people are able or willing to hire an entire writing team for content creation. You can instead find a partner and leverage AI to create a lot more with less.

First impressions are everything. As a brand-new CDO, it is important to hit the ground running with a data strategy that pinpoints key use cases and quickly delivers value within an organization.In our 14th episode, Malcolm shares his perspectives on the top deliverable for most CDOs: the definition and execution of a corporate data strategy. He outlines his model for a ‘Data Strategy Minimum Viable Product' (MVP), which embraces a highly iterative and pragmatic approach to defining and executing a strategy. This approach starkly contrasts more traditional approaches which often take years to deliver any business value. Rather than separating a strategy's definition from its execution, the Data Strategy MVP deeply interconnects the execution with the ongoing evolution of the data strategy — where CDOs can earn the right to change corporate cultures or operating models by delivering business value rather than management edict. Malcolm argues that forcing a business to wait years — or even several months before it will realize any benefits of a data strategy — is a key reason for shortened CDO tenures. While a typical approach to a data strategy would involve 6-12 months of business analyses and requirements gathered across an entire enterprise before actually executing a strategy, the Data Strategy MVP hinges on a razor-sharp focus on quickly identifying a few key business outcomes.This is quickly followed by the definition and execution of a data strategy specifically to address those limited sets of outcomes. By repeatedly focusing on a small set of outcomes, organizations can successfully execute a holistic data strategy. Malcolm also dives into how taking a more tactical and results-driven approach to implementing a data strategy requires a strong data leader who can balance longer-term needs — such as defining an adaptable technology architecture or the right governance model — against short-term needs. Finding this balance will not be easy but is necessary to ensure short-term decisions do not compromise the ability to fully align the data to the business strategy in the long haul. Another key to the Data Strategy MVP — as outlined in the shared model — is the acknowledgment of the several business characteristics that CDOs cannot change in the short term. These include the data culture, corporate operating models and overall data and analytics maturity level.While more traditional strategy approaches would place changes to these things as strategic dependencies, Malcolm instead argues they should be considered more as constraints. This helps guide decisions on the best business outcomes the evolving strategy should be focused on in the immediate future. CDOs who have been tasked to execute a data strategy should find this episode of CDO Matters highly useful — especially those concerned that too much of a focus on data strategy is hampering their ability to deliver value.Newer CDOs unfamiliar with more agile approaches to program management will also benefit from this episode — as will those aspiring CDOs who are looking to make an impact for their business partners by finding ways to bring value in more iterative ways. Key Moments[2:10] Why Are CDO Tenures So Short-lived?[4:12] The Responsibilities of the Modern CDO when Establishing a Data Strategy[7:02] Creating a Centralized Data Culture[13:05] MVP Data Strategy Attributes[18:45] Defining Your Outcomes[20:52] Filling Gaps in Governance Maturity [24:30] Leveraging Analytical Insights Rather Than Operational[28:15] Delivering Realistic Business Outcomes[30:40] Succeeding as a CDO[33:05] Establishing an Analysis Roadmap and Governance Framework[36:46] Placing Technology at the End of Your Strategy[42:10] Summarizing How to Provide Significant ValueKey Takeaways Why are CDO Tenures so Short-lived? (10:32)“I would argue that one of the reasons for very, very, short CDO tenures is that [CDOs] rightfully identify that some fundamental ways the business operates need to change… however when you put those organizational changes or those cultural changes or those operating model changes as dependencies to be able to deliver value — and if you make those changes your top priority — you are going to have a hard time delivering value in the short term.” — Malcolm HawkerStart Small and Grow from There (18:32)“A key to this whole thing — being MVP-driven — is to focus on a limited number of outcomes... not all of them — one or two. If you want to take an MVP approach to a strategy — and I would argue it's the best thing you can do is to show some quick wins and show some value and not get stuck in an 18-month long discovery and consulting engagement.” — Malcolm HawkerDelivering Plausible Value (32:25)“If you want to succeed at a data strategy…you do need to incorporate some idea of executing against the strategy as a part of your strategic model, where you plan to deliver iteratively as a part of executing on that strategy. Where that strategy evolves based on your ability to deliver.” — Malcolm HawkerLimit Your Scope and Don't Boil the Ocean (36:14)“For now, you just need to figure out the governance needed to enable [your top outcome]. It's simple, stay focused, keep a limited scope, be agile, deliver on one outcome. Figure out the governance dependencies for that one outcome instead of figuring out the governance dependencies for everything. Because if you try to figure out the governance dependencies for everything, you'll be at it every day for the next three years — two to three years easily. That will consume every resource you've got, you won't have delivered value, and it's not going to be good. It's not.” — Malcolm HawkerEPISODE LINKS & RESOURCES:Follow Malcolm Hawker on LinkedInChief Data Officers don't stay in their roles long.

Your Strategy to Focus on Solutions Begin to look at how you perceive the problems and situations in your life. Then start to focus on the solutions. The mind that's overcome with all of the obstacles is not the mind that can help you create solutions. It's a mind that's focused on solutions that will take you far in life. Here's your strategy to implement this today: Find something in your life that is an obstacle or challenge. Write down a minimum of 10 possible solutions to that problem. It might be overwhelming to find 10 possible solutions, even if they're crazy ideas. But see what happens with your mind as you start to focus on solutions. You'll find that simple things will come up that you may say to yourself, “Why didn't I think of that already?” You have greatness inside of you. I want you to remember that it's never too late for you to begin living the life that you were meant to live. So, start by focusing on solutions.

Les Brown said, “Other people's opinions don't have to become your reality.” Read that again. Other people's opinions don't have to become your reality.   Why do we struggle so much with Positivity these days? Why do we see the amount of Self Confidence, Self Esteem and Value dropping?   I believe it is because we are allowing the wrong people to surround us in our lives and business.    I think we struggle with this because of social media, and because of our competitive spirit as entrepreneurs. I think we need to begin to sort and filter the people in our lives because it has a direct affect on our quality of life and business.   We need to STOP allowing others to influence and determine the trajectory of our future.... Stop Giving Value to Other Peoples Opinions & Comments Stop Asking for Others Opinions Stop Asking for Permission Stop Seeking Validation   We need to STOP habits that attract negative people and opinions to influence us... Social Media New Feed Negative Comments and Culture in Workplace People that Don't Align with Your Vision Activities that Don't Support Your Goals and Dreams     Remember that Your Network is Your Net Worth... Better said, "Your Network is Your Net Life Creation".   The people you surround yourself with will determine your life course. It doesn't make a difference whether they're positive or negative. They're going to influence you whether you realize it or not...so be proactive and specific with who you surround yourself with.   One of the success principles we fail to understand is that it's not as simple as just surrounding yourself with some positive people. You have to be specific with your INTENT and your CREATION of your life and this includes the PEOPLE in your life.   Napoleon Hill gives an interesting perspective on this idea of "specific intent" in his book, Think and Grow Rich. Many of us have heard of affirmations and things you can do on a daily basis to grow our mindset. But we don't dig deep enough into the understanding of principles to get beyond just the simple principles.   He gives an interesting example when he talks about the need for "persistence with your affirmations." He talks about persistence being that gateway to actual results with your affirmations. When you develop persistence, you will be able to, more appropriately, hold yourself accountable for your plans and purpose.   Benefits From Positive People  So why do we start surrounding ourselves with positive people? What benefits can you gain from surrounding yourself with positive people?   BELIEF TRANSFER   If you've ever noticed when you're around positive successful people, you gain their belief. There's an AA principle called Belief Transfer which means if you don't believe it yet, be around individuals that do. And if you're around individuals that do, you really can count on their belief until yours gets grown through your own personal experiences and life experience.   EXPERIENCE   Being around positive people gives you a lot of experience. They have the experience of going through the ups & downs, and successes & failures in business and life.    VISION   Being around their experience, positive people will also help you expand your vision. I know when you have been around individuals that are successful, it seems like their vision is just a little bigger or maybe a lot bigger than yours.    That's a huge benefit to being around positive successful people. It rubs off!   DOORS OPEN   Indirectly you may receive a lot of opportunities and have doors open for you. I've had many individual circumstances in my life where I've been around positive people, and it's just been open doors and opportunities, one right after another.   Also, it's very important for you to stop basing your self-worth off other people's opinions. You need to stop doing that!    Find ways to guard your mind tightly against negative influences. Make the decision to do that. Surround yourself with positive people so that they will help to encourage and push you to your goals, your plans, and your purpose.   Your Strategy to Implement Right Now Here's one thing you need to do right now... Pick, and add 1 new positive influencer to your network today. It doesn't matter if you need to re-establish a connection.   Make a decision that you're going to add an individual to your network today.  Reach out to them. Tell them that you'd like to start communicating with them. Express your appreciation and your gratitude for their positivity.   Do this, and let's see your life start to turn around into what you want. I really believe it's never too late for you to start living the life you were meant to live. So continue to create it.

How could Melissa Clark-Reynolds ONZM predict the pandemic collapse of seaports in the US? And Why is your board bad at strategy?—If you can answer these two questions, your firm would be much better off. This is only part of the full episode that is available on Business Games Premium's private podcast feed. Breaking News (at the time)—Omicron!A note about the new Omicron variant of Covid discovered in South Africa in November 2021. We recorded this episode with Melissa in early 2021, a good 6 months before the news broke about the new variant B.1.1.529 that later got the name Omicron. With Melissa, we talked about many things on predictions, the central topic being how she was one of the first within the business community to have predicted the coming pandemic. We covered what a foresight professional should do, and how to predict the next pandemic—including some signs that she was monitoring in early-mid-2021 when she had concerns that there could be something else popping up in late 2021. We put up this episode on Monday the 22nd November. On Thursday the 25th, the news broke about the variant B.1.1.529. Revisiting this episode, it is startling how ever more relevant the content is.

hello? Hello, this is your host Caroline Schafer. Please help me welcome Robert Radnoti. Robert is a certified master hypnotherapists at Hypnorad by Robert Radnoti. Studied life strategies at Anthony Robbins, master university, and a trainer and consultant for Dr. Joe Dispenza, Neuro Change Solutions, which I am a huge fan of Dr. Joe and his amazing meditation work to change minds and your reality.  And talk about self-healing, Robert also is a senior leader with Tony Robbins,  and he has worked with Marisa Peer. Boy, Tony Robbins, Dr. Joe, Marissa. I still want to pick your brain Robert like for days on end and you are a life coach as well, which makes perfect sense with all of that background under your belt. And now you're the CEO of Radnoti Research Institute.  Let's start with hypnotherapy, always curious to know about how our brains work. Welcome Robert to The Vitality Feed. Well, thank you so much. I'm honored to be here. Well, let's start from the beginning. Tell us how you went from the engineer to a track and field coach at a division one school to a hypnotherapist. That definitely sounds like an entrepreneurial path, if I've ever heard. Well, I think I was thinking about this on my run on the beach today. I'm thinking about what I could provide to your audience. And I think one of the key things is, is managing risk and, you know, some people are risk adverse. Some people are risk tolerant, and depending on really your family and your culture and where you grew up. Pretty much determines or patterns, um, kind of how you feel about those kinds of things. And in my family, my family came from Hungary and they escaped from the Russians and came here and, and then they ended up in Las Vegas. School at UNLB the rebels, they were rebels, they became rebels. And I think I'm kind of rebellion. And I think that that's where it comes from specifically to hypnotherapy. What happened was I was at Pepperdine university, which I thought was my dream job. I, I was always into running, always into organizing. Since I was a little kid. I was a guy that ran around the neighborhood and organized the baseball and football and basketball, depending on the season. And I loved running and wanted to coach people. So I quit my engineering job at Exxon to become first, a high school coach for $2,000 a year. When my then wife wasn't working and we had a big house and two kids, and I just did it.  I was day-trading in the.com run-up and thought that would last forever, but it didn't. But anyway, I did pretty well at thousand Oaks high school, we won a state championship and, we raised a bunch of money. And when we left, we had more national record holders than any school in the nation. And I thought this is going to be easy. I moved on to Pepperdine University. Unfortunately it was a very minimally funded program. And I thought I could change that and all the different ways that I tried didn't work. And finally, I decided I want to beat UCLA. We were a division one program, UCLA and Oregon, and some of the big time schools. And on the 1 0 1 freeway to my home, there's been a sign that I've seen for probably 30, 40 years called HMI hypnotherapy. I had no clue what it really was. And a lot of people that drive through the valley see that sign. And I said, gosh, I wonder if I could hit my ties, my athletes to run faster. And so I went to one of those introductory sessions at HMS. Hypnosis meditation instituted Tarzana, California turns out it's like the world's foremost hypnotherapy school, Dr. Joe Dispenza and graduated from there as did Marisa peer as did many, pretty famous hypnotherapists. It's the, I think the only accredited or at least the first accredited college of hypnotherapy in the. Wow. And so it's not like a workshop. I was traveling quite a bit. So it took me 18 months to do it. What was interesting was that, once I got to the point where I could hypnotize my athletes. We went to a track meet up at San Luis Obispo and the kids knew what I was doing. And I got six brave kids that said they're willing to try to be hypnotized, um, to run faster than it. So we, we did this, we set this up, the whole team was watching and it was so interesting because back then I was using, what's called the arm raising technique. And that's how we put people on hypnosis and it, part of it's building confidence. And what you do is you have the person put their arm. I know you can't see here, but you put your arm on a table. And then I start just talking to them and saying that your arm is filled with helium. And before, you know, you're not even going to be able to stop this, but your arm is going to start to raise and it raises, and it, it takes like five to 15 minutes and the arm will raise until they hit their face. And this is you, do you snap your fingers and you'll say deep sleep and they're out. And literally I've done this a hundred times. I think only once did it not work. It just it's mind blowing to me that it works every time. And so I just hypnotize each of these athletes to run faster, to be more relaxed, to be more confident, et cetera, in their race. And then the next day, all six of them set huge personal records. PRS. We call them in the running world and then on the Monday following my athletic director called me into the office and I thought, oh, this is going to be great. He's finally going to say something good about something that I've done. And he said, I heard what you did on Friday night. And then how the kids ran on Saturday. I'm saying, yeah, it was so cool. And he goes, you know, you can't do that. And I said, what? I mean, I was like, and he said, we're a Christian University. And you were playing God. And I go as soon as he said it, I kind of understood it, but I, I didn't think of it up until that point. I was really buck. The good part was because initially I went to hypnotherapy school specific for My athletes and, or other athletes eventually, you learn how to deal with 146 different issues that people have. And I found that I was able to help people worldwide because essentially my,  internships started the day everything's shut down for the Corona virus pandemic. And so I had to learn this new thing called zoom and hypnotize people over zoom. So I put in a post on my Facebook saying I'm looking for seven brave people, let me practice hypnotherapy with them over zoom. And within a week I had 56 people and I kept saying, yes, I only want to seven, but I said, yes. And literally I had, four to eight clients every day, seven days a week for several months. And it was interesting because by the time I graduated, one of the things they told me is they said you're, you're, you're graduated is that I actually had more clinical hours than anyone in the 54 year history of HMI. Because typically, you did it in the office. We have an office and you get one or two clients a day, three or four or five days. I was doing it seven days a week with up to eight clients. So it was really great and I practiced in practice and it may be a better hypnotherapists in fact, sort of one of my claims that I really like is that I was working with this cancer patient in Australia and on her third or fourth session. Her dog was running around her chair, where she needed to be, in a peaceful, calm place. And I said, put that dog up on your chest. I'm going to hypnotize your dog to stop barking. She said, you can do that. And I said, sure, not really knowing, but while she's running around getting the dog, I Googled, how do you hypnotize a dog? And it turns the world's foremost, cat and dog hitting a therapist. Is one of the instructors at HMI. And so I read a script, Princeton, her dog was sitting on her chest . I hypnotized her and the dog. And the next day she did a testimonial on her Facebook saying how excited she is that Princeton isn't barking at all thanks to Robert Radnoti and the hypnosis he did yesterday. Amazing stories. gosh,  I think one of the coolest parts about that is that you taught those individuals on your team, the power of opening your mind. And I think that is the best gift that you gave them. Was that. They came, they're willing to try something new and it proved to work for them. And then they're going to take that away and use that concept in probably a million things for the rest of their life. So as you probably know, in sport, you know, we use a lot of visualization techniques in training. It was consistent with everything. I had been teaching all along and have been since I, I started coaching. So it was just a little bit of a stretch and actually a big stretch because some people are afraid of hypnotherapy. They think that, you know, I'm going to make them run around like a chicken with its head cut off or quack like a doctor or something like that. And that's not what hypnotherapy is. That's stage hypnosis. Okay. And that's very different and hypnotherapy, we have a code of ethics and we are bound to help the client get what they want. So it's not even what I want. I'm just a facilitator. So, you know, in the first part of a session with someone, I just interview them and ask them, what do they really, really want? And then all hypnosis is, is putting people into a state. Where they're the most open to suggestions and the suggestions actually come from the client. So when I'm interviewing somebody, I'm writing down on my paper, here's what they want. And exact words to suggest into the subconscious. And it's become such a powerful thing because by the time we're in our mid thirties, 95% of all our thoughts, behaviors, habits, patterns, attitudes, feelings, and emotions are programmed into our body. They're in subconscious. And so that's why change is so difficult. And many of these, the gurus that you talked about, they have various processes to get into the subconscious. Just allow people to go in that hypnotic state, dropping them from the beta brainwave frequency that they're in during the normal course of the day, dropping them to alpha where their internal environment becomes more important. And then into theta where they're in this light sleep, where the door between the conscious and unconscious mind is open. And that's where we can make some suggestions to serve people. That is so good. I do know I do meditate in the morning first thing as soon as I open my eyes, I go get my phone and I plug in and I meditate right away because I in that in the alpha stage. And that is much better timing to do then than getting up for an hour and then trying to meditate.   I was going to ask you if you could explain what hypnotherapy is. So you're in the theta state. You're in the theta state. And when you're first born, all your mind knows is fight or flight but as you're growing up between birth and about eight years old, literally every experience you have gets stored in your subconscious. So you have thousands of positive experiences, thousands of negative experiences, but they're all stored there. And many of them, if not most of them, we don't even remember somewhere around eight years old you develop, what's called the critical mind or the analytical mind. And that's a piece of the mind that now starts to filter and decide. From the experiences or the learnings, is that really true? Do I want to store it in my subconscious? And the best example I have of that is, is Santa Claus.  Did you believe in Santa Claus at one point. We all did. Right? And then somewhere around eight years old, a parent, a neighborhood kid, someone said, now, hold it. Do you think this fat guy with a white beard really makes presents for every kid in the world with some elves. And your analytical mind that started to develop. Huh? I no longer believe that. Right. That happens around that eight years old or so. And so between eight and about 12 years old, 13 or so,  you develop your conscious mind, your analytical mind, your subconscious mind, and a lot of the things that we have program or kind of set. And so hypnosis allows us to drop below and through that critical mind and the subconscious, and then we can either strengthen a positive experience or we can weaken lesson or even eliminate a negative experience, or we can create a whole new experience because the mind doesn't know whether it's real or not. And a real good example is as I mentioned, my parents were from Hungary in growing up my sister and I, we always wanted to have a dog and my dad never wanted to have a dog. We couldn't understand everyone in the neighborhood. I had a dog, but he just said, I like dogs. I don't want it. And it was many years later, we were at a family reunion in Budapest and there's dogs running all over the place and I'm just kind of remarked, Hey, what's the deal with all the dogs. We weren't allowed to have dogs. And she goes, well, I know why. And everyone turned to her to say, well, why? And she said, when your dad was five years old, he was bitten by a dog and he didn't remember it. But it made sense. It was programmed in his subconscious because he couldn't explain why he didn't like dogs. He was a very loving, caring person that you would think would really like dogs, but he was afraid of. And so, you know, it, we all have these things and I'm guessing that you, I all your audience, we probably done somethings in our life, maybe every day, where we go. I wonder why I did that. And it's because of things in our subconscious that we just don't even know about. And that's why hypnotherapy can be so powerful because we can go in and we can discover some of those things, or we can create new things to serve you. And that's what the, the profession, the business, the mission is all about is serving people, helping them become more vital in their lives, live rad and love contagiously. That's kind of like my thing. It is just so fulfilling to be able to do this. That's why I'm excited to, to come on here  and share this message. And I'm so glad you did. Cause I find this fascinating. I really do. And I know about you are your experiences. I always tell people, make sure you're asking yourself. Why, why do you do things? Because it is important to think about, is it really what I believe or is it really what I've been told to believe? That is so true. Um, this is a crazy idea,  I know we had talked about this and I think it's really cool about maybe doing a general session for our audience and hypnotherapy. Can we do that? We can do that. I had one other thought as you were speaking, if I could just share this. This is kind of interesting to me. And this comes from Dr. Joe Dispenza. one of the things that we teach in this program, so now I'm teaching his, his program it's called,  Change Your Mind, Create New Results. And it's based on his book, Breaking The Habit Of Being Yourself. We have a two day class that we teach. Now there's about a hundred or so of us worldwide that are teaching this program. But one of the hallmarks from this is, is that your personality, creates your personal reality or your life and your personality consists of how you think, how you act and how you feel. And that most people want to change their personal reality or their life as the same personality. And it simply doesn't work in order to make a change. If you want a different life, you have to change. You have to become someone different. And so what you just said, I'm asking the question, why that's an important thing, because it's becoming metacognitive thinking about the thoughts that you have, because what happens is we're in a program if 95% of every thought every action, every feeling is programmed into it. We're doing things unconsciously. And so we have a familiar path and we're not making any changes because we think 60 to 70,000 thoughts per day. And 90% of them are the exact same thoughts we had the day before. And so if we're having the same thoughts, those thoughts are creating the same choice. And those same choices then lead to the same behaviors. Those same behaviors create the same experiences and the same experiences produce the same feelings and emotions, and they then influence the same things thing. And we keep doing the same thing over and over again. And our life doesn't change. Because we haven't changed. And our biology, our neurochemistry, our neurocircuitry, our hormones and even our gene expression stay the same because we are the same. For people to understand is they've got to change if they want to change. Right. And it's very difficult for most people. It's that uncertainty muscle that Tony Robins I know talks about.  I loved his analogy with marriages and how people get divorced and they get remarried and that doesn't work out and it's because they haven't changed. It's not the marriage. It's that you're just taking the same person that didn't function well in a marriage prior and sticking them into another marriage that's not going to work well either.   What I got out of Tony Robbins around relationships and a lot of different areas. Not only do you not change, but we literally don't know the strategies on how to have a successful relationship or how to have a successful business or how to a lot of different things.  We weren't programmed or we didn't learn how to have a relationship. Right. You know, we have parents and they're doing the best they can, you know, in our generations, they kind of stuck together a lot of times for the kids, but were they really loving? Do we have many examples of these great loving relationships? We don't. I've been married 40 years. What are you happy? There's a big difference between being married for 40 years of being happily married. That's one of the things I think that I take from Tony is he's got brilliant strategies every aspect of life, whether it's relationships, emotions, time management, your purpose, finances, your contribution, spiritual life, there are strategy. So let's get back to our hypnotherapy session for everybody out there, listening. Okay. So here's what, there's something really, really super important in. Everyone's got to agree to, this is you cannot participate in this. If you are driving or you are doing something that if we set you into or put you in a state of hypnosis, that you could be a danger to yourself or to somebody. You have to be in a place where you're by yourself undisturbed. So you can't have kids running around, you can't have dogs running around, you can't have spouses running around nothing. You have to do this when you're in a quiet place. Ideally you're in a chair that kind of reclines back a little bit where your head is supported and it's quiet. So if someone's listening in any of those kinds of situations, they should just stop this. If they'd like to do this, they can then start it back when they're in that situation, is that agreement for everyone? So everyone, that's a disclaimer, so please, please be in a safe location before you try to do this hypnotherapy. We want to keep everybody safe and we want it to work well for you, so do it in a safe setting. That there'll be no injuries. Okay. And are you going to do it, Caroline? Absolutely. Okay. So get yourself in a place where you can sit back and you're undisturbed. All right. So what I'd like everyone to do is go ahead and close your eyes. And If you're wearing glasses, go ahead and take your glasses off. just start with three deep breaths, deep cleansing breaths.   Three deep breaths, cleansing breaths, breathing out any pressure or tension that might be in your body. And breathing in the feelings of peace and serenity and tranquility, breathing in thankfulness and gratefulness, breathing in through the heart, joy and happiness and freedom. Letting any tension in your body then kind of do a body scan. And if there's any pressure, tension, anywhere in your body, just allow that to sort of gravity feed and go out through your toes and breathe in the feeling of love and bliss and ecstasy. And just allow yourself to now call on your beautiful, creative, imaginative, amazing mind, and say, I'm open to this experience. I want to create some amazing images and visualizations as we go forward. And this is with my permission and for the purposes of hypnosis education only that we do. And so what I want you to do is imagine a white beam of light coming down from the heavens above and entering the crown of your head and flowing through your whole body, calming, relaxing, and allowing any tension in your body to just dissipate and flow out of your. And as this beam of light comes and enters the crown of your head, I want you to now just command your face to relax a little bit more, your forehead, your cheekbones, and your jaw. Just relax your whole face and moving downwards. Those little tiny neck muscle. Well then to relax this white beam of light, as it comes to the base of your neck, it splits into three, two pieces going to your arms and one into your body and the light, the goes, your arms, feel your shoulder, relax a little bit more relaxing, your biceps and triceps. And it flows through your forearms and into your hands and out through your fingertips. And you wiggle your fingertips a little bit, just visualize that light beam by continually flowing in through your head and out through your arms and through your fingertips. And now come back to the base of your neck and feel that larger beam of light go into your body, cavity and swirl around and calm down and relax your heart. Slowing down your heart rate into your lungs and slowing your breathing. Swirling around your spine and all those beautiful vital organs, your stomach and intestines and kidneys and everything in there. Just relaxing as you go further and further into a calm, peaceful place. The beam of light now goes down past your butt muscles, your gluteus Maximus, minimus, relaxing those muscles and into your legs. As you relax your hamstrings and thigh. Lycos, pastor knees relaxing. Now your calves and your shins and into your feet and out through your toes, maybe wiggling your toes and all the pressure and tension in your body, in your life in your day. At least for this session, just fade away. As you go into a very peaceful place. Now, what I want you to do from here is I want you to visualize or imagine yourself on a beach, actually on a wooden, um, landing where there's 20 steps, 20 wooden steps down to the beach, down to the same. And you're on this platform is very safe. There's handrails there, you feel safe, but it's a beautiful, beautiful day and beautiful as whatever your creative imaginative mind wants to create. And you can create the beach scene down in front of you. And it could be that a beach scene of California or of the east coast, maybe with those darker sands or toward the south, toward the Caribbean where they've got the white Sandy beach. Or maybe in Hawaii, the lava fields that dark, dark sands, or maybe even in the baldies where they've got the pink sands, whatever you want your imagination to create, go ahead and allow it to be created and allow there to be vegetation and Palm trees and eye biscuits and whatever pops into your imagination. Just allow it to be as you stand on this wooden platform above the sand. Feeling very safe, feeling, very calm. And as you look down to the beach, to the sand at the base of the stairs, you see a person down there, you can't quite make out who it is, but they look familiar to you. And you're drawn to them in a moment. We're going to walk down the steps to meet that person. But for right now, I want you to bring yourself back up to this platform and I want you to. Place yourself in your imagination, in the body of you. So you can't see your soul wholesale because you're inside yourself. So if you look down, you might see your thighs and maybe your feet, but you can't see your face because you're inside your body. And I want you to place your left hand on the left railing. And I want you to put your left foot. Down this step, number 20, we're going to walk down together, your right foot to step number 19, your left 18, your right to 17. You're left to 16. And so on 15, 14, 13, 12, 11. Ten going further into your subconscious 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 and Deep sleep. And just allow yourself to go to the optimum place. In your subconscious, where you're the most open to suggestions, suggestions to serve you, to benefit you. And this is for the purposes of hypnosis only. And with your permission each and every time I say deep sleep and snap, my fingers, you'll go further into your subconscious where we can make some suggestions this for acute. And so now, I want you to feel the sand below your feet, your shoeless feel the sand between your toes. You're down on the beach down, maybe about 20 feet or so away from the water, but the person that you sort of recognize from the top comes now in front of. And without speaking word, either one of you, they come into view and it's you of your future and you have, your future is smiling and you look at him or her left eye to left eye because the left eye connects to the right side of the brain, your emotional side of the brain. And you want a good connection. And you can feel the love that you have for each other, because this is you have your future looking at you. It's an emotional experience. And you want a good connection And you can feel the love that you have for each other, because this is you have your future looking at you And the, you have your future finally starts to speak and says to you, I have been waiting for this day ups and the downs, the challenges and the joy. And I'm here to tell you the next phase of your life. is going to become truly amazing, truly remarkable as you grow into the man or woman that you were designed and destined to be my God or the universe or the source or higher power, whatever you believe in spiritually, the next phase of your life is going to be truly amazing. And I'm here to give you a message and this is the most important message that you can receive today. The message to you is that you are worthy for what's coming the next phase of your life, that you are more than enough that you deserve the successes coming your way. In every aspect of your life, it's among the most important things to know deep in your subconscious is that you are worthy. You are more than enough. You are loving, lovable, and loved. Sure. You like every other human as flaws has made mistakes because you are human. And I want you to remember this new word possibly for you. And it's flawsome, you are awesome with all the flaws that you have because too, oftentimes we make a mistake or we have a flaw and we beat ourselves up. We're no longer going to do that. Every time that happens. We're just going to simply say stop. And reflect back on this moment where you understand that every human being is flawsome. Every human being makes mistakes. Every human being is worthy and more than enough, and these deserving and loving, lovable, and loved. Once we remember that. Once we integrate this into every cell within your body, the magic, the mystical, the unexplained begins to happen in your life. And as you have the future talking to you of the present, I'm here to tell you I'm here to suggest into your subconscious how important this truly is. And I want you to reflect on this throughout the day and days. And I want you to repeat any time you question yourself, anytime you need to stop. I want you to tell yourself the short ancient, Hawaiian tribe, whole Pono Pono, short prayer. Just saying it to yourself and repeat this with me now. I love you. Thank you to your subconscious. I love you. Thank you to your inner child. I love you. Thank you. I love you. Thank you. I love. Thank you with that. You have your future goes quiet. You know, eventually you go to hug each other and as you pull the, you have your future into you, they meld into your body. You pull them into you because after all that you have your future is you. The worthy, the loving, the deserving, the flawsome you the future is you, right? You pull that all into you. It feels good. It feels loving. It feels right. It feels blissful. It feels freedom. It feels joy and happiness, peace and joy and tranquility. You're grateful. And with that, we're going to bring you out of the state of hypnosis by counting you out from zero to five and at five you'll come eyes wide open, but at zero, I want you to look out at this beach scene that you've created. Right now, We're going to bring you out of hypnosis again by counting you out. And it one, I want you to know that we've made some suggestions into your subconscious to serve you, to benefit you that are very, very powerful and it to have faith in yourself, trust in yourself. Believe in yourself. You've got this that you have programmed into every cell in your body, the feelings and emotions. You've just experienced from the, you have your future and it three, fill yourself up with hope and excitement anticipation for this next phase of your life. Now at four become aware that you're in your room on a chair and a couch on a bed and start to come back, come back and at five eyes wide, open 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 eyes wide open and come back. And if everyone fell asleep, take yours out. How awesome. That's just the first part of it. Usually I take people down to the beach and there's an experience there. And then we come back, we sit down, there's another experience there, but I'm watching the time so I wanted to kind of close things up it was awesome. Thank you so much for doing that. That was really neat. I have one little last question. It's my signature question, if you could eliminate one thing in this world, what would it be and why Robert eliminate one thing in the world? Oh gosh. There's so many things right now that, uh, eliminate aren't there. Um, I would eliminate the negative fixed mindset that so many people have so that more people could be open to people like myself, to people like you, you know, we are creating an army of people that really want to change the world. Yes that want to feel the world with love and joy and happiness and create the kind of environment and lifestyle and culture that we're proud of. That we're honored to be part of that we can grow from and live in a state of bliss and joy and happiness and all those beautiful feelings that, uh, that we want that. I love that. And I probably would answer that question very similar, because I think when you go to these kinds of events that you partake in all the time, a lot of people go there with a fixed mindset and then they leave pretty much the same way. And I'm like, no, that's what this is all about. You come here to open yourself up to new ideas and leave a different person so that you can grow. Where can our listeners connect with. I've got a website, Robertradnoti.com. Um, another website, radnotihypnosis. I'm on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, all those kinds of things.  thank you so much, Robert, for being with us today, this was a really cool experience. Something very different I've never done before. And I really appreciate your time today and investing with our audience and sharing your gifts. So thank you very much.

Erik Torenberg of Village Global joins Nick to discuss Decentralization of VC, Why Your Fund Size is Your Strategy, and Why Startup Formation is the Most Important Contributor to Economic Growth. In this episode, we cover: Walk us through your background and path to VC What were the biggest lessons learned from Product Hunt that you took to investing? Recently had Ben Casnocha on... anything specific you'd like to add about the thesis behind Village Global? How do you think about working with experienced vs non-experienced angels? How do you think about portfolio construction for VG? Fast forward... some angels have strong early signals of success, others don't -- do you cull the herd or amplify those that are good pickers? Considering this, why do you think so many VCs have concentrated portfolios? How do you think about follow on investing? What is the role of a pre-seed firm? If there's a weakness in the Village model... what is it? Part of your model is to increase the amount of founders and investors.  What do you say to those that argue there's too much capital already? What's does the future look like for Venture? What's your advice for people getting into venture? Three data points Let's say you're approached to invest in an early seed stage SaaS startup... The founder is a technical serial entrepreneur with two solid 8-figure exits.  And she has a credible co-founder that is more business/commercially focused; An MVP of the product has been launched and was the top product of the day on Product Hunt, when it launched; and The Product launched two months ago and currently has $5k of MRR. The catch is, you can only ask 3 questions for 3 specific data points, in order to make your decision.  What three questions do you ask?

Personal Development 22 - The importance of Your Strategy by Michael B. Ross

I've been having a lot of conversation lately with industry friends and clients about the major differences between a strategy and a plan. Your strategy has to do with WHY and your plans have to do with HOW you do things. Think of your strategy as your guiding light on the WAY in which you exist in music business and WHY you are willing to go through all the ups and downs. Your Strategy makes your planning easy. It makes your direction clear and your decisions no-brainers. In this podcast I outline the actual difference between the two and give you a list of questions to ask yourself when you're trying ot create your strategy. http://musiclifecoach.joannejanzen.com/ep45

“If you've got a dream… there is absolutely a way even if you can't see it yet, even if you can't see anybody else who's already done that yet. And the most important thing is to trust in that dream and trust that there is a way and keep that dream alive and stay open to the opportunities that you know you will be presented with every single day to lead you in the direction of that thing. So keep the belief and stay open.” – Bernadette Doyle   Are you still waiting for the right time to pursue your passion? Some people do, not realizing that they’re letting the opportunity pass them by. Today’s podcast bears witness to the fact that good things come if and when you do not limit yourself.

Key Takeaways Covered In The Podcast If your business depends on you being IN your business for it to run, you may want to consider the way in which your business runs. You must be able to take time off, whether it’s for a vacation or to spend time with a loved one, your business needs to be able to run without you. Facebook groups can be used as a sales funnel as often you’ll be able to buy a product that has a free membership to a broad group as a part of its benefits. From there, people may end up purchasing membership to your more exclusive and knowledgeable group. Guidelines are important, but don’t dictate as you may end up with a bad reputation. Before you start a group for your business, you need to understand your why. Planning your content and scheduling it in advance is essential to running a successful group. Use your free group to encourage members into joining you paid membership. Mention the topics you’ve covered, talk about them in the free group and show people that your paid membership is worth it. You’ll be putting more effort into this group, so showing people it’s worth their money is essential. Your Facebook icons on your website should go directly to your free Facebook group, not your Facebook page. Don’t oversell in your group. Although monetising is important, low hanging fruit is key. Consider using ‘pop-up groups’ for products and courses. These can be closed after they’ve been used and can encourage people to join your membership. The one thing you need to remember above all else… When you run a group, whether it’s free or paid for, you need to focus on providing valuable information. If end up just talking to your members or trying to sell to them, they’ll go elsewhere for their information. Monetising can’t be the only thing you use your group for.
