00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:03.200
Welcome back to Clear Signal.
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:07.120
I hope you enjoyed the last episode of How to Treat Your Business Like a Game.
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:09.759
Life is a game and business is a game.
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:11.679
And that episode dropped in by mistake.
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:19.359
I did have two episodes I wanted to do to wrap up season two, which we're doing today on May 31st.
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:25.199
By the way, before I continue, May 31st is the last day to take advantage of Catalyze, which is my private podcast.
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:26.879
Link in the show notes, it's free.
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:27.920
That'll expire.
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.800
I'll pull it down probably end of day tomorrow on the 1st.
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:31.839
I'm traveling.
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:37.840
And also Resonance Read, which is my intro way to work with me, which is all about residence.
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.640
I did a whole episode about residence and why you want to get that offer and why residence is important.
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.759
You know what?
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:46.479
At this stage of the game, you understand resonance.
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.079
And if you don't, there'll be some version of like that to work with me in the future.
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:51.119
It won't be at that price point.
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:52.479
It won't be in that delivery mechanism.
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:53.600
If you want it, you got it.
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:55.200
If you don't, it's all good.
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:59.039
Here's the thing about the game: the game's got time on the clock.
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:00.799
Buzzer runs out, buzzer runs out.
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.840
Doesn't mean you can't play another game in the future, but it is what it is.
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.719
I did not intend to drop an episode today.
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:14.239
And something you're going to hear in my world, if you're in it for a while, is I love it when a plan comes together, even if it isn't my plan.
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:15.599
And so that's what happened.
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.120
So that's a little bit of a backstory.
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.519
The second backstory is I have not edited some minor tweaks I would make to the episode that just dropped.
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:31.040
But one tweak I'm not going to take out is I mentioned Labor Day Memorial Day, because I had intended to do a private podcast this summer.
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:35.920
And that makes no sense, given my schedule, my plans, my business plans.
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.159
And so I kept saying Labor Day.
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:43.120
And so obviously my body knew something that my brain didn't.
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:48.400
And so if I do a private podcast, it will not be until the fall slash September.
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.599
Number three, I mentioned James Clear last time.
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.480
Well, James Clear sends out a newsletter most weeks.
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:08.240
And there's a quote that I captured a couple weeks ago that I was going to use to introduce last episode as a transition from the teacher episode.
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:09.360
But let's do it here.
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:14.639
And the quote is the best view of the game is probably from the stands.
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.560
But that's not where the action is.
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.199
And so you have to decide, do you want a nice view or do you want to be in the thick of it and playing the game?
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.680
The bottom line is the business is the teacher.
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.240
And you have to be in the game, and you get to treat your business like a game.
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.840
And like a video game.
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.599
And there's something known as game theory, which I mentioned last time that will not be an episode.
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:43.759
That will be a post I do on Substack.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:49.120
I'm going to be doing monthly marketing thought leadership slash business thought leadership posts on Substack.
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:50.479
May was category of one.
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:51.759
June will be game theory.
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.199
So look forward to that if you're on there.
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.879
You can also subscribe to me on Substack and then you'll get it in your email.
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.560
So if you're not a Substack person.
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:08.000
And finally, last summer, I love it when a plan comes together, even if it's not my plan, I did an episode of Diary of a CEO.
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.800
And the whole notion of that is what game are you playing?
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.759
Not treat your business like a video game.
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:17.919
Not game theory.
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.120
But what game are you playing in the first place?
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:21.840
And when?
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:22.800
And why?
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:24.560
And what are the rules of that game?
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.039
And speaking of it, that I love when a plan comes together.
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.639
I mentioned an episode last time.
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:33.599
Literally, the day I recorded that podcast, that episode became live.
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.479
So that episode is the episode I did.
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.439
And off the top of my head, I don't have the information because we're doing this on the fly where I'm running.
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.280
All of the information's in the show notes.
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.800
That's on Spotify, that's on Apple, that's on YouTube.
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.120
If you want to see the video, you want to see my lovely face, you can hit that.
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:58.960
Also, there's a couple of other key guest spots I've done that are all dropping this week.
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.599
One's dropping tomorrow, another one dropped last week.
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:02.960
I will link those below.
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:13.919
The reason I want to link them is this notion of you know, I only want advice from people who are in the game.
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:15.919
That's an obvious one.
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:17.600
That's what James Clear was saying.
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.160
You're not learning anything from being in the stands.
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:26.240
But also sometimes what are you learning and from whom and why?
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.000
I'll let you listen to that episode.
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:33.199
That episode dropped in on a podcast, Achieving Success with Olivia Atkins.
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:34.959
That's also video.
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:42.879
That'll also be a collab on my YouTube channel, but for now I'll link all the main links and I'll update them when it makes sense.
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.560
And finally, I recently did an episode with somebody named Heather Clark.
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.319
Her focus is decluttering.
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.800
She helps women declutter in all areas of their life.
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.839
And I believe my episode is supposed to drop on June 1st.
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.439
Like I said, I love when a plan comes together.
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:56.560
I did these in the winter.
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.680
The reason that's relevant is because I talk a lot about removal of things.
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:06.160
I also give a lot of teaching on human design that tends to happen with certain guest episodes.
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:12.959
I'll use the guest's, excuse me, the host's human design as a teachable moment.
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:14.879
So there's foundations in there.
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.639
There's also this notion of removal of things is actually what brings clarity.
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.000
It's not this magical process.
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.439
So it's a teaching episode.
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.600
And when that's live, I will link that below.
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.000
Lots of options there.
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:27.839
Why am I giving you all this material?
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:28.959
Because I'm stepping away.
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:30.319
This is the end of season two.
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:39.279
And when you hear in the future the hidden Easter eggs associated with this episode that I didn't even plan, like I said, I love when a plan comes together.
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:40.399
You will understand.
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:47.920
If you guys have been in my world for a while, you have heard a lot of my episodes and you've been with me through the process.
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.639
Something you should know is you've turning into a bit of a tradition.
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.079
Season one ended this exact same way.
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.800
Season one was supposed to end with episode 40.
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.800
At the time, it was called Misfit Manifesto.
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.160
It might be called Building Something Your Way, something like this.
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.319
Then an episode dropped in by mistake.
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:11.920
Then I had to do a follow-up episode to discuss and clean up the mess.
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:16.959
And I use the clean up the mess as an opportunity to say, hey, this is what entrepreneurship is.
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:18.399
Hey, things don't have to be perfect.
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:24.000
Hey, I'm very good at figuring shit out on the fly, which I am, because I'm traveling, I have some makeshift microphone.
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:24.879
It's working out fine.
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.279
Laptop is balanced on my lap.
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:28.560
We're doing the do.
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:29.680
We're doing the thing.
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:30.560
Do you care?
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:31.680
Probably not.
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:37.040
And so as I formalize the podcast moving forward, obviously these won't be my episodes.
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.240
It doesn't leave the best first impression, whoever joins me.
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:41.759
But for now, this is what we're doing.
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.319
And then in the fall, if I have a private podcast, I'll let you guys know about it.
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:45.920
Catalyze is a private podcast.
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.160
The transmissions for that will go away.
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.879
End of day on the first, if not sooner.
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:52.720
It says May 31st in the show notes.
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.079
So I can do it on the 31st.
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:54.639
I'm just traveling.
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.160
It'll probably be the first, you guys.
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:57.439
What else?
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:02.240
The best view of the game is probably from the stands, but that is not where the action is.
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.839
And so you have to decide: do you want a nice view or do you want to be in the thick of it and playing the game?
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.560
Do you want to take lessons from people who are in the game or do you want to take opinions from people who've never even entered the ring?
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:11.439
That's Aries.
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.759
Aries is about athletics.
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.000
Aries is war.
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.319
Aries is being in the fucking ring.
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.000
And if you're not in one of those three, I don't want to hear from you.
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:30.079
Also, you get to make up your own rules, which is what one of the episodes I did last summer, the rules of life are made up.
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.839
If you guys are new to me, these are some episodes you might enjoy in my absence.
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.600
So you what are the rules of the game?
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.759
Do you want to play by the rules of that game?
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.519
Do you have to play by the rules of that game?
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:42.240
Who said?
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.000
Can you make up your own rules?
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:45.680
Can you bend the rules?
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:51.120
Can you ask for forgiveness instead of can you beg forgiveness instead of asking for permission?
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:52.959
Something I've done my whole life.
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:55.600
That is the definition of the entrepreneur.
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.399
Be willing to beg forgiveness.
00:07:58.560 --> 00:07:59.600
I beg forgiveness of you.
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.120
Oops, I made a mistake.
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.199
Oh well, I could pull it back.
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:04.639
I can make it all perfect.
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:16.800
I could take out the fact that I said Memorial Day instead of Labor Day, but in the future, when I do an episode on my six-step framework, my six-step system, when one of them is body wisdom, I will explain to you the difference between body wisdom and intuition.
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.399
And that was an example of that.
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:25.199
Also, it's helping me tell you about the game theory substack article I'm going to do in July.
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:26.560
And everything else.
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.680
I love that I get to let you guys know about Catalyze and Resonance Read before they expire.
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:38.080
And I love that we're wrapping season two by the end of May, because season two was supposed to wrap by the end of March.
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.559
In the future, I'll understand why that's important.
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.600
And it's not important for you to understand anything about this episode.
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.519
I treat this podcast like a game in the back in ways you don't even want to know.
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:49.759
It's a rabbit hole of rabbit holes.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:56.799
And I always paid off the end with the season finale or the season intro with a nice riddle.
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.480
So enjoy all of that content in the absence.
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.159
Check out some of the guest episodes I've done.
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.639
I always bring the heat when I guest on a podcast.
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:08.559
And my podcast guest spots are never this boring conversation between two people.
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.600
It's usually people having a deeper conversation, or at least I try to steer it there.
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.519
I always manage to steer it there.
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.639
Look forward to some great collaborations and guests this summer.
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.440
We're going to do very light this summer on the podcast.
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.559
It could be as light as one to two episodes top per month.
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.639
June and July will probably be one.
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.399
A lot more collaboration, a lot less hearing from me.
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:38.799
It'll be a mix of people who are guests on my podcasts, places I was a guest on other people's podcasts or speaking to another audience, but for whatever reason, I have the feed and we're going to put it here.
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.440
It'll also be case studies.
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.799
You're going to hear from clients, and you're going to hear people from people in their own words.
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.120
And I'm going to be introducing the work I do in a bigger way.
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:54.559
So we're going to the next level of the video game with this.
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:57.919
So join me for the summer.
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.240
Last summer we had a fun summer series.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:01.440
I did things on the fly.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:02.879
I did things in my car.
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.399
I it was on spontaneous and on the go.
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:13.200
This summer won't be that, but it'll be a little bit of a light summer and a fun summer, a little bit more easygoing.
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:15.840
And obviously, there are other ways to sustain my world.
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:23.279
If I start my email list up this summer, that'll be a place your heel for me.
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:32.080
You want to join me on Substack, you want to listen to some of my past episodes, or you want to check out some of my guest collaborations I've done, it's there for you.
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:40.000
Also, if you want to have private podcast catalyze, link in the show notes that goes away today, tomorrow, whenever you're hearing this.
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.799
June 1st is the absolute drop dead.
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.799
May 31st is what it says.
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.120
Residence read expires May 31st.
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.399
Lowest way to work with me, that price point is never going to come back again.
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:51.519
And it's async.
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.080
You don't have to meet with me on Zoom over the summer.
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.200
You'll have it in five business days.
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:01.360
I hope you enjoyed the last episode about how to treat your business like a game.
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.360
I hope you enjoyed hearing about some of my stories and some of my trials and tribulations from business.
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:08.399
That is a fraction.
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:10.480
That is a fraction, my friends.
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:14.799
The stories you can imagine I have from the chaos and the craziness.
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.200
And sadly, I don't even tell them on this podcast.
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:28.320
I will maybe a little bit more in the future, but definitely I speak from experience in other podcasts because my interest with entrepreneurship is as much the revenue model.
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.120
It's as much the freedom model, which is what got me to do it in the first place.
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:38.240
It wasn't because I had some grand mission, but it's also the person you become in the process.
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.600
You become a person who can literally walk through fire and come out the other side.
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:42.879
At least I become that person.
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.159
You become a person who can figure anything the fuck out on the fly.
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:53.759
You become a person who is untouchable, unstoppable, can navigate in the dark, doesn't care what anybody thinks, and can reinvent yourself at will.
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.000
And isn't that a skill that's going to be needed in 2027 and beyond?
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:00.879
Have a wonderful summer.
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:03.519
Thanks for being part of the podcast.
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:08.559
Whether you're new or whether you're an old time listener, and I'll see you very soon.
00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:03.200
Welcome back to Clear Signal.
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:07.120
I hope you enjoyed the last episode of How to Treat Your Business Like a Game.
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:09.759
Life is a game and business is a game.
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:11.679
And that episode dropped in by mistake.
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:19.359
I did have two episodes I wanted to do to wrap up season two, which we're doing today on May 31st.
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:25.199
By the way, before I continue, May 31st is the last day to take advantage of Catalyze, which is my private podcast.
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:26.879
Link in the show notes, it's free.
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:27.920
That'll expire.
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.800
I'll pull it down probably end of day tomorrow on the 1st.
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:31.839
I'm traveling.
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:37.840
And also Resonance Read, which is my intro way to work with me, which is all about residence.
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.640
I did a whole episode about residence and why you want to get that offer and why residence is important.
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.759
You know what?
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:46.479
At this stage of the game, you understand resonance.
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.079
And if you don't, there'll be some version of like that to work with me in the future.
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:51.119
It won't be at that price point.
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:52.479
It won't be in that delivery mechanism.
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:53.600
If you want it, you got it.
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:55.200
If you don't, it's all good.
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:59.039
Here's the thing about the game: the game's got time on the clock.
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:00.799
Buzzer runs out, buzzer runs out.
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.840
Doesn't mean you can't play another game in the future, but it is what it is.
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.719
I did not intend to drop an episode today.
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:14.239
And something you're going to hear in my world, if you're in it for a while, is I love it when a plan comes together, even if it isn't my plan.
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:15.599
And so that's what happened.
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.120
So that's a little bit of a backstory.
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.519
The second backstory is I have not edited some minor tweaks I would make to the episode that just dropped.
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:31.040
But one tweak I'm not going to take out is I mentioned Labor Day Memorial Day, because I had intended to do a private podcast this summer.
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:35.920
And that makes no sense, given my schedule, my plans, my business plans.
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.159
And so I kept saying Labor Day.
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:43.120
And so obviously my body knew something that my brain didn't.
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:48.400
And so if I do a private podcast, it will not be until the fall slash September.
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.599
Number three, I mentioned James Clear last time.
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.480
Well, James Clear sends out a newsletter most weeks.
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:08.240
And there's a quote that I captured a couple weeks ago that I was going to use to introduce last episode as a transition from the teacher episode.
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:09.360
But let's do it here.
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:14.639
And the quote is the best view of the game is probably from the stands.
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.560
But that's not where the action is.
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.199
And so you have to decide, do you want a nice view or do you want to be in the thick of it and playing the game?
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.680
The bottom line is the business is the teacher.
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.240
And you have to be in the game, and you get to treat your business like a game.
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.840
And like a video game.
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.599
And there's something known as game theory, which I mentioned last time that will not be an episode.
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:43.759
That will be a post I do on Substack.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:49.120
I'm going to be doing monthly marketing thought leadership slash business thought leadership posts on Substack.
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:50.479
May was category of one.
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:51.759
June will be game theory.
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.199
So look forward to that if you're on there.
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.879
You can also subscribe to me on Substack and then you'll get it in your email.
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.560
So if you're not a Substack person.
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:08.000
And finally, last summer, I love it when a plan comes together, even if it's not my plan, I did an episode of Diary of a CEO.
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.800
And the whole notion of that is what game are you playing?
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.759
Not treat your business like a video game.
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:17.919
Not game theory.
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.120
But what game are you playing in the first place?
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:21.840
And when?
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:22.800
And why?
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:24.560
And what are the rules of that game?
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.039
And speaking of it, that I love when a plan comes together.
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.639
I mentioned an episode last time.
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:33.599
Literally, the day I recorded that podcast, that episode became live.
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.479
So that episode is the episode I did.
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.439
And off the top of my head, I don't have the information because we're doing this on the fly where I'm running.
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.280
All of the information's in the show notes.
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.800
That's on Spotify, that's on Apple, that's on YouTube.
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.120
If you want to see the video, you want to see my lovely face, you can hit that.
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:58.960
Also, there's a couple of other key guest spots I've done that are all dropping this week.
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.599
One's dropping tomorrow, another one dropped last week.
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:02.960
I will link those below.
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:13.919
The reason I want to link them is this notion of you know, I only want advice from people who are in the game.
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:15.919
That's an obvious one.
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:17.600
That's what James Clear was saying.
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.160
You're not learning anything from being in the stands.
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:26.240
But also sometimes what are you learning and from whom and why?
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.000
I'll let you listen to that episode.
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:33.199
That episode dropped in on a podcast, Achieving Success with Olivia Atkins.
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:34.959
That's also video.
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:42.879
That'll also be a collab on my YouTube channel, but for now I'll link all the main links and I'll update them when it makes sense.
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.560
And finally, I recently did an episode with somebody named Heather Clark.
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.319
Her focus is decluttering.
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.800
She helps women declutter in all areas of their life.
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.839
And I believe my episode is supposed to drop on June 1st.
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.439
Like I said, I love when a plan comes together.
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:56.560
I did these in the winter.
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.680
The reason that's relevant is because I talk a lot about removal of things.
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:06.160
I also give a lot of teaching on human design that tends to happen with certain guest episodes.
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:12.959
I'll use the guest's, excuse me, the host's human design as a teachable moment.
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:14.879
So there's foundations in there.
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.639
There's also this notion of removal of things is actually what brings clarity.
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.000
It's not this magical process.
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.439
So it's a teaching episode.
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.600
And when that's live, I will link that below.
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.000
Lots of options there.
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:27.839
Why am I giving you all this material?
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:28.959
Because I'm stepping away.
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:30.319
This is the end of season two.
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:39.279
And when you hear in the future the hidden Easter eggs associated with this episode that I didn't even plan, like I said, I love when a plan comes together.
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:40.399
You will understand.
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:47.920
If you guys have been in my world for a while, you have heard a lot of my episodes and you've been with me through the process.
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.639
Something you should know is you've turning into a bit of a tradition.
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.079
Season one ended this exact same way.
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.800
Season one was supposed to end with episode 40.
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.800
At the time, it was called Misfit Manifesto.
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.160
It might be called Building Something Your Way, something like this.
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.319
Then an episode dropped in by mistake.
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:11.920
Then I had to do a follow-up episode to discuss and clean up the mess.
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:16.959
And I use the clean up the mess as an opportunity to say, hey, this is what entrepreneurship is.
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:18.399
Hey, things don't have to be perfect.
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:24.000
Hey, I'm very good at figuring shit out on the fly, which I am, because I'm traveling, I have some makeshift microphone.
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:24.879
It's working out fine.
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.279
Laptop is balanced on my lap.
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:28.560
We're doing the do.
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:29.680
We're doing the thing.
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:30.560
Do you care?
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:31.680
Probably not.
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:37.040
And so as I formalize the podcast moving forward, obviously these won't be my episodes.
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.240
It doesn't leave the best first impression, whoever joins me.
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:41.759
But for now, this is what we're doing.
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.319
And then in the fall, if I have a private podcast, I'll let you guys know about it.
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:45.920
Catalyze is a private podcast.
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.160
The transmissions for that will go away.
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.879
End of day on the first, if not sooner.
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:52.720
It says May 31st in the show notes.
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.079
So I can do it on the 31st.
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:54.639
I'm just traveling.
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.160
It'll probably be the first, you guys.
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:57.439
What else?
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:02.240
The best view of the game is probably from the stands, but that is not where the action is.
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.839
And so you have to decide: do you want a nice view or do you want to be in the thick of it and playing the game?
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.560
Do you want to take lessons from people who are in the game or do you want to take opinions from people who've never even entered the ring?
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:11.439
That's Aries.
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.759
Aries is about athletics.
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.000
Aries is war.
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.319
Aries is being in the fucking ring.
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.000
And if you're not in one of those three, I don't want to hear from you.
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:30.079
Also, you get to make up your own rules, which is what one of the episodes I did last summer, the rules of life are made up.
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.839
If you guys are new to me, these are some episodes you might enjoy in my absence.
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.600
So you what are the rules of the game?
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.759
Do you want to play by the rules of that game?
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.519
Do you have to play by the rules of that game?
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:42.240
Who said?
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.000
Can you make up your own rules?
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:45.680
Can you bend the rules?
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:51.120
Can you ask for forgiveness instead of can you beg forgiveness instead of asking for permission?
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:52.959
Something I've done my whole life.
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:55.600
That is the definition of the entrepreneur.
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.399
Be willing to beg forgiveness.
00:07:58.560 --> 00:07:59.600
I beg forgiveness of you.
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.120
Oops, I made a mistake.
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.199
Oh well, I could pull it back.
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:04.639
I can make it all perfect.
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:16.800
I could take out the fact that I said Memorial Day instead of Labor Day, but in the future, when I do an episode on my six-step framework, my six-step system, when one of them is body wisdom, I will explain to you the difference between body wisdom and intuition.
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.399
And that was an example of that.
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:25.199
Also, it's helping me tell you about the game theory substack article I'm going to do in July.
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:26.560
And everything else.
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.680
I love that I get to let you guys know about Catalyze and Resonance Read before they expire.
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:38.080
And I love that we're wrapping season two by the end of May, because season two was supposed to wrap by the end of March.
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.559
In the future, I'll understand why that's important.
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.600
And it's not important for you to understand anything about this episode.
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.519
I treat this podcast like a game in the back in ways you don't even want to know.
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:49.759
It's a rabbit hole of rabbit holes.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:56.799
And I always paid off the end with the season finale or the season intro with a nice riddle.
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.480
So enjoy all of that content in the absence.
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.159
Check out some of the guest episodes I've done.
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.639
I always bring the heat when I guest on a podcast.
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:08.559
And my podcast guest spots are never this boring conversation between two people.
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.600
It's usually people having a deeper conversation, or at least I try to steer it there.
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.519
I always manage to steer it there.
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.639
Look forward to some great collaborations and guests this summer.
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.440
We're going to do very light this summer on the podcast.
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.559
It could be as light as one to two episodes top per month.
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.639
June and July will probably be one.
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.399
A lot more collaboration, a lot less hearing from me.
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:38.799
It'll be a mix of people who are guests on my podcasts, places I was a guest on other people's podcasts or speaking to another audience, but for whatever reason, I have the feed and we're going to put it here.
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.440
It'll also be case studies.
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.799
You're going to hear from clients, and you're going to hear people from people in their own words.
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.120
And I'm going to be introducing the work I do in a bigger way.
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:54.559
So we're going to the next level of the video game with this.
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:57.919
So join me for the summer.
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.240
Last summer we had a fun summer series.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:01.440
I did things on the fly.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:02.879
I did things in my car.
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.399
I it was on spontaneous and on the go.
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:13.200
This summer won't be that, but it'll be a little bit of a light summer and a fun summer, a little bit more easygoing.
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:15.840
And obviously, there are other ways to sustain my world.
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:23.279
If I start my email list up this summer, that'll be a place your heel for me.
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:32.080
You want to join me on Substack, you want to listen to some of my past episodes, or you want to check out some of my guest collaborations I've done, it's there for you.
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:40.000
Also, if you want to have private podcast catalyze, link in the show notes that goes away today, tomorrow, whenever you're hearing this.
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.799
June 1st is the absolute drop dead.
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.799
May 31st is what it says.
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.120
Residence read expires May 31st.
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.399
Lowest way to work with me, that price point is never going to come back again.
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:51.519
And it's async.
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.080
You don't have to meet with me on Zoom over the summer.
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.200
You'll have it in five business days.
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:01.360
I hope you enjoyed the last episode about how to treat your business like a game.
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.360
I hope you enjoyed hearing about some of my stories and some of my trials and tribulations from business.
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:08.399
That is a fraction.
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:10.480
That is a fraction, my friends.
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:14.799
The stories you can imagine I have from the chaos and the craziness.
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.200
And sadly, I don't even tell them on this podcast.
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:28.320
I will maybe a little bit more in the future, but definitely I speak from experience in other podcasts because my interest with entrepreneurship is as much the revenue model.
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.120
It's as much the freedom model, which is what got me to do it in the first place.
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:38.240
It wasn't because I had some grand mission, but it's also the person you become in the process.
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.600
You become a person who can literally walk through fire and come out the other side.
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:42.879
At least I become that person.
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.159
You become a person who can figure anything the fuck out on the fly.
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:53.759
You become a person who is untouchable, unstoppable, can navigate in the dark, doesn't care what anybody thinks, and can reinvent yourself at will.
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.000
And isn't that a skill that's going to be needed in 2027 and beyond?
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:00.879
Have a wonderful summer.
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:03.519
Thanks for being part of the podcast.
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:08.559
Whether you're new or whether you're an old time listener, and I'll see you very soon.
