Full transcript here đź‘‹ Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen.
The word for today is platform. I have hope of building a software platform someday. It’s a dream born from reading Tim O’Reilly’s book, WTF?: What’s the Future and Why It’s Up To Us. In that dream, I saw people using technology to encourage each other toward fulfilling goals, even if it was completing one run. It turns out that Brigitte Granger had almost the exact same vision and founded Supporti in 2016, an app where you can pair with another person, commit to a goal, and check in with the other person for the benefit of both. I have not found the right people yet to carry my software platform idea forward, but on the journey I have enjoyed podcasting as a platform for my voice. I’ve tried blogging a few times, but I lost interest in each blog topic. I don’t know why podcasting creates the right conditions for me to continue, but I love having an outlet to share my life experiences. I am not unique, though. You have as much to teach as I do. That goes back to my idea for the software platform. Everyone has a voice and gift to share, just like Stephen Covey predicted. Another discovery on the road to success has been the platform that each day provides. Think back to episodes 62 and 135 that mention the film, Groundhog Day. We all have the daily opportunity to build an ideal existence, based in small improvements to our daily routine. In the software sense of the word, a day is the ultimate platform. You can build almost anything on it. What will you do with your platform?
Today’s concrete challenge is to choose one daily activity to start or enhance. What calls to you as needing more investment? Write it down and make small moves each day.
If you want to commit, say the following phrase: “I will write down a daily action that needs more attention.”
I’ll keep the music playing while you get it done, and don’t miss the soundtrack at the end of this episode.
Before you go, repeat the following soundtrack, “I am the kind of person who builds.”
Let me know if this made a difference in your day by leaving a comment in your podcast app or at concrete.win/today.
Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
