Half Hour Intern

SEO. Search. Engine. Optimization. Not exactly the three sexiest words in the English language. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that if you checked your own internal ‘search engine’ those words are barely registering as something that you want to learn about. However, you might be, like me, saying to yourself, “It is a really big part of the world though, so maybe I should at least learn about it, as boring as that will be.” All I can say is, you’ve taken the first right step, and you are in AMAZING hands with today’s guest, Britney Muller. I can assure that what Britney has to say is far from boring, and it might even have you messing with the internet by the end of the episode. It’s time we take SEO from geek to chic.

Buildings (and all sorts of other structures) can be pretty darn cool. The Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, The Sydney Opera House, the list of incredible buildings goes on and on. Usually we praise these buildings for their aesthetics, like a bunch of shallow people whose moms never told them that beauty is on the inside. Today’s guest is here to remind us that without the inside, there would be no outside. She makes sure that the value of a building is more than skin deep, and helps save plenty of lives in the process.

I don’t know about you, but I sure do love animated movies. The worlds that the artists and directors create are so full of wonder and magic. Animation is also the modern day home of the allegorical tale. Many live-action movies have forgone having a moral or some deeper story to tell, in favor of just being a straight shot of ‘action’ or ‘romance’. Somehow, movies for “children” have become the best place for complex, deep stories that are deeply profound no matter your age. Today’s guest, Leo Matsuda, is a director of one such very deep and profound Disney short, Inner Workings. He has also worked as a story artist on many other big name films. We’ll discuss the animation industry, the magic of Disney, and the philosophical messages in Inner Workings.

I don’t know about you, but I sure want to have a job that I love.  Isn’t that a pretty universal goal in life?  To be one of those lucky people who says, “It doesn’t even feel like work to me”.  Until you get that job you just pretty much hate people like that, but you really, really want to be one of them.  Today’s guest thought she found that job.  It’s an amazing job, and you’ll hear all about it.  You might even decide that it’s your dream job.  For her it turned out to be fool’s gold.  She’ll explain why and how she went about fixing it…and she’ll tell us some pretty good celebrity stories too.

Most of us do not achieve all the things that we want to in life. We see this as a given, that’s life. But if we sit down and really analyze the things we fall short on, we might start to understand more about ourselves and what it is that is holding us back from what we want. How do we talk to ourselves about losing weight? How do we see ourselves when we have achieved the success we are going after? How do we feel when we think about our life being completely different than it is right now? Neuro-linguistic Programming is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy that aims to know these things. Unlike many forms of therapy, NLP doesn’t need to know WHY you have problems with your mother, NLP just wants to know HOW you think about your mother and will help you reshape that thought. For this reason it has made quite a splash in the personal development / self help scene. Today we speak with a true expert on the topic, founder of iNLP, Mike Bundrant.
