THE NEW NORMAL: Are you waiting for things to go back to normal? So many people are waiting to fix their routines, waiting to get in shape, or waiting to make the big move in their business when things "go back to normal." But the way things are lining up, it looks like things won't really be going back to 'normal.' The new normal is that there is no normal anymore. Our society is changing at an exponential rate.

It's easy to look at Covid-19 and recognize that it is the craziest thing to happen in our lifetimes. But if you're waiting for things to go back to normal, you'll be waiting forever. With the impact of growing technology, media propaganda, and society at a halt, any sense of normalcy is in the past. The next 5-10 year window will likely shape human history. Andrew & Luke discuss leadership principles, corona, microchips, bill gates, and much more on this week's episode. @andrewevansofficial @aceweeklypodcast @lukemiseyko 00:19- Intro 04:00- Survival vs Self-actualization 10:00- Mainstream media & coronavirus 17:00- Don't be on the wrong side of history 24:00- We're not going back to "normal" 28:00- The exponential nature of technology 32:00- There is no more normal 36:00- Skill development in changing times 41:00- The world is desperate for leaders

CHAOS CONTROL

Coronavirus and its quarantining has spun the world into chaos. The economy, entire industries, and even people's family lives are being forced through major shifts. Chaos brings out everybody's true colors, and the way leaders respond during these times produces a ripple effect throughout society.

This week we are joined by special guest Carlos Cordero, as we take a less structured approach to the podcast & have an open discussion about how leaders respond during these chaotic times. We discuss how industries are changing and how this unorthodox version of society is amplifying people's true selves. There's never been a time where discipline, intelligence, and habits have been more important to get ahead.

Most people are hibernating... will you come out watching those that put in the work? Or will you be proud of the work you've done and come out stronger on the other side?
