Excerpts from this conversation with Dr. Myke Merrill:
Tell us a little bit about what is this thing that we call reality?
That is a tremendous philosophical question. But it's also a biological question. How a person how every human being perceives the reality in which they are personally immersed, there isn't a reality of what's happening and some star somewhere 400 light years away.
The reality is, that's not a part of our reality. But when I'm driving along, and somebody cuts me off, that is part of my reality. And the question then is, how do I perceive that moment? Is that an aggressive moment? Or do I have compassion in that moment? Is it somebody who just wet their pants and are trying to get to a bathroom really badly? And they're not thinking about anything else?
Or did they just get fired from work? And they're pretty much at the end of their rope. I mean, I don't know what's going on. But my reality is the journey I'm on.
-----
But a starting point is it's either a reaction or a response. A reaction is unplanned, spontaneous, and usually less or uncontrolled. A response is reasonable, mature, experienced, and and has a plan. They're both emotional. They're both emotion, emotion is both sides.
But if you have a reaction, can you shift that to a response? Can you say, I know I just gave you the finger because you pulled in front of me. Let me back that up just a little bit.
Because I'd like to take a different course here, or you're in an argument with your your management team and your business. And some new startup comes in with some wild idea. And you immediately trashed the person, not the idea. And to be able to that was my reaction, and to be able to say, I just reacted there, and I don't want to do that. Let me pull that back.
And let me respond, not react. Both of those are emotional, both are intense. loads, it really matters what we're talking about here. But I'm going to respond instead of react. So emotion for me became either the reaction or the response, linking my perceptions to my motivations, and their interactive.

Excerpts from this conversation with Aurora Winter:
The quick summary on Kickstarter is that it is it is a crowd funding platform that is specifically oriented for supporting the creation of new products.
So that would include books, but it also could include a backpack or a watch or a new kind of jacket or glasses, and or jewelry. So many creators have fun or even a film, many creators have funded their project on Kickstarter.
Kickstarter is distinct from other crowdfunding platforms. It's not like a GoFundMe, it's not please, please, please, I need money, it's more, I have this exciting idea. It's so wonderful. And I would really like to give you the opportunity exclusively to get this hot off the press before it's available to the general public.
And usually, you will also get something different and distinct from what is available for the general public.
So people who like first editions, people who want signed editions or they want something collectors, Kickstarter is really great for that. And one more thing I learned about Kickstarter, and I've a number of things to share.
But one other thing that people might like to know is Kickstarter is your first stop, it doesn't take away from selling your product on Amazon or wherever you might sell it. But if you go to Kickstarter, first, you offer that exclusive window, and you don't have to ship the following day.
So you can use the funds to create your movie, or to finish, you know, your design of the book cover. In my case, my book is already done. So that wasn't the case.
But Kickstarter does give you the opportunity for a little window of time to finish your creative project. Like my son did a video game on Kickstarter.
So it's something and it's something that's, I think, really exciting and fun, because you get to meet the creators.

Excerpts from this conversation with Ty Hoesgen:
There's a famous scene from the show The Office, if any of your listeners have seen the office, and it's Michael Scott, who is the head boss there, and he says, Sometimes I just start a sentence. And I don't really know where it's going. But I just hope I find it along the way.
And that's what a lot of people seem to do, especially in the corporate world, when it matters the most, to be clear, to have people understand, to be persuasive to be powerful.
And so one of the biggest mistakes is just having no structure, no organization, in the way that you are explaining something, you're just rolling the dice and hoping for the best when you open your mouth.
-----
So how can someone better structure their message?
This is something that should absolutely be taught in schools structuring your message. So first, what is your intended message? This is something that you should know, before you start speaking. I teach a framework that a lot of my clients find very easy, and they find it very useful.
It's called the PRP framework. So it's point. Reason. Point. It's very simple. If you get asked a question, you start with your main point first.
So your intended message first, what's really the main thing you want them to know? Then the reasons so why do you think this? Where did this point come from? Why do you believe this? And so you give your reasons for that. And then because people tend to hear and remember the things that they hear first, and the things that they hear last the most.
Whereas you want to restate our point at the end, because we want the last thing they hear to be that main message. So we've got our point, first, than our reason or reasons.
And we restate it with a point at the end, the Restatement at the end, very underrated and necessary. Because if you ever been in a situation where the conversation just kind of gets off track, sometimes that's because somebody has ended their point with something that's a little bit off. And people respond to whatever they hear most recently.
So if we restate the main point, at the end, it's a lot less likely those conversations are going to get off track.

Excerpts from this conversation with Vanessa Yudelman:
And I just want to develop the muscle of listening because I it's not something that we were taught at school.
-----
I always tell leaders, first of all, think about your intention for the meeting. Why do you want to meet with them?
Is it an accountability meeting where you want to make sure they're, they're moving their goals forward? Is it a coaching meeting, where this is someone who's new, and you want to develop them? Like, what's the purpose?
So that's the first place to start is, so I would recommend you identify the purpose, then share it with your team? You know, a lot of leaders think that just because they're a leader, they have to have all the answers. And I always say that's not true.
You, as a leader need to have the questions.
You don't necessarily need to have the answers. So say to your team, hey, you know, I really feel like I'm not getting you're new to the team and not giving you enough time to develop your skill in this area. And so I was thinking we could do a one on one.
Would that be helpful for you? Again, check in? Oh, yeah, that'd be great. Okay, let's do the agenda together. Here's what I was thinking. I was thinking, like, I always asked, you know, what the suggestion I was thinking we could talk about, you know, this certain skill, what did you do to work on the skill last week?
What are some of your gaps, what support you need for me? Right. And so again, it's a lot of questions. And by giving them the agenda in advance, people know what to expect, and they can prepare for the meeting.
So they know, every Monday, you know, my leader is going to ask me what I did to work on the skill last week, and where I'm still feeling stuck. So you can either Yeah, so those are a couple of suggestions to get those meetings started.

-----
Excerpts from this conversation with ST Rappaport:
I think that people with ADHD are the real movers and shakers of this world. Anyone who's done anything really big in this world, most definitely has ADHD. And I just love being around such people.
-----
And sometimes it's a good idea not to consider all the details, because if you did, it would overwhelm you and scare you.
-----
Do you believe that people can multitask?
No.
What we do is we task switch. Yes, we are switching tasks really, really quickly from tasks that is includes if you have ADHD, and a lot of people think they have ADHD, and they can multitask really well.
But if you observe yourself, what you're actually doing is you're switching from task to task really, really quickly. only exception to this is when you're doing a task that doesn't require brainpower.
Then let's say for example, if you're driving driving down the highway, 60 miles an hour, and it's like, just not thinking and you have a podcast playing, you could still be listening to your intended message, right?
You're still listening to the podcast. However, if out of nowhere, a car comes and cuts you off. Or all of a sudden, like there's a bike that like a pedestrian or something that you think you weren't expecting those few seconds to settle and stop and you were focused on the road,
You're more focused on the road, your brain didn't hear what was in that podcast, you will literally if you want to hear what was said, we'll have to go back there a couple of seconds to hear it because your brain was shut off.
So you can multitask until one of the things don't need brain power.
-----
You want to make sure you are always, always always always doing new and challenging tasks. If you want to keep your brain young, you want to do new and challenging,
not just new and not just challenging, but those two together, those are the best way for you to keep your brain young and provide any of the elderly diseases that none of us want related to the brain.

Excerpts from this conversation with David Reich:
Action Items
- Practice observation techniques to understand how messages are landing and tailor communication accordingly.
- Use phrases like "help me understand" instead of disagreeing to have constructive discussions.
- Focus on being authentic, candid and vulnerable in conversations rather than putting on airs.
-----
The biggest key really is observation.
We have to look at other people, we have messages, we have things we want to say, we want to sell an idea, we want to convey a joke, we want to tell.
And we have to not only know what we want to say, but how it's landing. And that's actually how I came up with this whole tactical communication method.
Because as a magician as a mentalist, as you're going through your performance and your communication, you need to see how things are landing where people's eyes are.
And if it's working, and if it's not. And then and this, this takes a bit of practice, okay, can't do it overnight, just like anything good requires a bit of practice.
But you can start to tailor your message and tailor how you're communicating real time on the fly, to make your message resonate. And that's how you get people to want to hear what you have to say.

Excerpts from this conversation with Mark Wonderlin:
What kind of videos should they be producing at first? Where do you start that?
So most of the time, when clients are looking for video from us, they're looking for typically what's called a business promo video. And that's usually where we try to steer them.
So the conversation that we have about video is a little bit different than most other production companies out there. I really want to understand what are you doing for marketing? what's working, what's not working?
What is the problem we're trying to solve that this type of video or other types of videos will help solve in your marketing strategy. So sometimes it's a promo video, sometimes it's a case story, or testimonial video, sometimes it's a series of videos that work in your funnel to increase trust and credibility.
So we really try to understand what is the problem that they have? And how can video what type of video will work, or what series of videos will really help them.
The two most popular videos that we do is what's called a business promo video. Some people call it a company video, some people call it a Brand Story Video, it's essentially a two minute video that tells the story about what you do, and what makes you uniquely different.
And I say tells the story about you very lightly, because I often have to explain to clients that it's not really a story about you, as much as is a story about your customers journey.
So it's really about what is the problem or the pain that your customer has? How could you uniquely solve that? And what does their life look like, once you've worked with them.
And that's really what you want to do. Because However, people are seeking you out with your primary marketing objectives, whether it's SEO, or pay per click or social, when they come into your business or brand, they essentially are acknowledging that they have a problem. And they want to make sure that you can kind of solve that problem.
They're there's a story that they're already playing in their head, and they want someone that's gonna help change and transform that story, whether it's in the form of a product for a result that they want, or a service, or an objective that they're trying to achieve in their life, whether it's their business, or personally.
