Clarity Compressed with Paul J. Daly

Clarity Fam,

As many of you know, I run several small businesses, have four kids, and a slew of people counting on me on a regular basis. But that means, is that sometimes I have to really fight to get this podcast recorded and posted every week.

I don’t know how long this podcast will go, but one thing I do know, is that this is not going to be the week that it ends!

I was on my way home from work with my 15-year-old son, Myles, and an episode needed to be recorded. So I grabbed a mic, turned on my camera, and told Myles he could ask me anything he wanted.

It got a little deep at the end. Big surprise :-)

Letting people ask you questions might just give you some perspective on why you do the things the way you do.

Pursue Clarity,

Paul

P.S. I’ve been hard at work with team ASOTU to put together what I think is going to be the best automotive conference the industry has ever seen.

Clarity Fam,

For so long I heard people saying that I should focus on what I needed to STOP doing to save some time, energy, etc. Then, one day, my business coach and mentor, David Meltzer told me I was approaching that topic all wrong.

This episode talks about his advice to me. I can tell you it's working.

Pursue Clarity,

Paul

Clarity Fam,

There is a secret that a lot of people seem to know. Typically it's those who are successful in multiple areas of their lives. It could be business, farming, family, or volleyball. Ready?

They know that no one else is going to do the work for them. 

So many people walk around feeling like things aren't going their way...again. Maybe they even have friends that listen empathetically and help solidify their belief in their excuses. I think that's unfortunate. 

Only we can choose to do the work that moves us forward. Only we can choose to take responsibility for our own outcomes. Sometimes my care for people leaves me wanting better for them than they really want for themselves. 

Keep choosing to get that perspective. 

Keep choosing CLARITY,

Paul

Clarity Fam,

This week I tell a parenting story or two as I talk about the reasons a lot of people might be tempted to quit. To stop. To give up on what you've been walking towards.

Sometimes the shots just keep coming one after another. Those are the moments where your character are really formed. I hope you'll lean in with me this week.

Pursue Clarity,

Paul

Clarity Fam,

I wear my heart on my sleeve most of the time. This makes me a terrible card player and a hopefully better leader. Part of my hardwiring is to want everyone to be ok. I believe one of the primary responsibilities of a leader (especially in business) is to work to create the most opportunity for the most people. 

Like most things in life, that isn't always cut and dry. I talk about the in-between areas this week. 

What ever you do, keep serving people and keep pursuing clarity.

Clarity Fam,

I hope you are enjoying the summer weather as much as I am! Let’s be honest, I live in Syracuse, NY which means that mid-70s weather = heaven. You can keep that 90 degree stuff to yourself! 

My family and I took the pontoon boat out for the first time last weekend. We laughed, ate, got some ice cream and then started talking about…a puppy. Yeah, I know, I’m a sucker for the pleading of Sara and the kids. I’m also glutton for punishment 

As my 15 year old son (who also happens to edit this podcast) was reluctantly going along with the conversation, we had a deeper conversation about why I would ever consider saying yes to dog #4. This spurred a deeper conversation which is the source of today’s episode. 

Thank you for being here and keep Pursing Clarity!

Paul

Clarity Fam,

As of today, I’ve been married for 20 years. There is FAR more to say about that than can fit in a 10-minute podcast, but here are the things that came straight to the top.

Pursue Clarity,

Clarity Fam,

I just spend several days at the very first VeeCon. It was a first-ever activation around Gary Vaynerchuk's NFT community, VeeFriends and was meaningful in more ways than one. Although I'd love to get into the basics of crypto and NFT's, what I was really impacted by was the community element of the VeeFriends brand.

The creative of every is NOT the brand, it is only the signal fire that shows the other people who feel the same about a certain topic or band or fashion where to gather together. Often we get confused and put the creative at the top. That's wrong.

People don't really celebrate the creation. They celebrate what it means to them.

Pursue Clarity,

Paul

Clarity Fam,

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to talk about perspective when the episode number (222) can be read the same front and back. I also happen to be wearing a tshirt from one of my favorite brands "Go Fast Don't Die" on which the back reads "Speed is a number, fast is a feeling."

You see, no two people have the exact same perspective. That's the beauty and curse of relationship. I'd argue it's mostly beauty, BTW. While 50 mph might feel slow to someone, it might feel lightning fast to someone else.

So here is some CLARITY on perspective...from my perspective.

Pursue CLARITY,

Paul

PS: I'll be attending VeeCon with so many others this week in Minneapolis, MN. If you are going, hit me up. It would be great to meet in person!

This week wasn’t going to be the week I missed a podcast…so I didn’t. After a major event the night before, I was almost voiceless and out of time, but that didn’t stop the show. All we can do is give our best effort everyday, and today, this was mine.

Pursue Clarity,

Paul
