JRP DAILY

This week we bring Paige into the studio and end up having a lot of fun exploring all sorts of science related topics. 

We hit on everything from where to go as a biology student to climate change, and I think we both (or all three of us if you include Gerard) wound up learning something in the process. 

If you have anything to add, or want to mention something that you learned, please, be sure to reach out to us!

Otherwise, thanks for listening, and enjoy the episode with Paige!!

Desires. 

Internal. 

External. 

Short-Term. 

Long-Term. 

You name it. 

We all have desires. 

There's a problem though. 

We all have DESIRES... with an S...

Let me explain..

One of the questions that I get asked the most regarding my podcast is "How the heck do you think of something to talk about every single day?" 

I've said it time and time again... it ain't easy. 

However I do have a couple of little tricks that might be able to help you understand just how I've managed to come up with enough material for 322 episodes now!!

Let me know if you have any tricks of your own, and/or if any of these helped you!

Thanks for listening!!!

This week we decided to revisit the time that we spend with Evan in the studio!!

As per usual, Evan is a pal of ours that we invited in to do a podcast. Typically this is how we've been "keeping up" with what a lot of our friends are up to these days. 

Evan graciously agreed to come over, and we had a pretty good conversation both on and off of the camera. 

He was probably one of the guests that we had the most laughs with off screen, and then of course we also killed it on air. 

Let us know what you thought of the episode, and if you haven't already seen our interview with Evan... don't wait up!!

As I listen to more podcasts, and read more books from those that I would consider successful, I continue to pick up on some clues as to what got them to where they are. 

Today I'm exploring the correlation between the successful people on this planet, and influence. 

That's right, how are those that we consider to be some of the most influential human beings, actually influenced by others? 

Does GaryVee get inspired by Jeff Bezos quotes? 

Does Mark Cuban listen to what GaryVee has to say? 

Do any of them listen to the general rules of society? 

What does that tell us about the successful?

I found this interesting article on Forbes about why companies have started paying their employees to workout on the clock. 

It turns out that working out is actually good for your mind AND your body. Who would've guessed. 

With more and more studies coming out about the effects that physical exercise can also have on your brain, and your productivity, I could definitely see more companies jumping on this training of giving their employees time to workout on the job. 

I know going to the gym isn't exactly the most appealing idea to everyone, but maybe if it gets you away from your unglorious tasks for half an hour, then it's more incentivizing? 

What do you think?

"Why We Pay Our Employees To Exercise At Work" by Alan Kohll on Forbes

https://www.forbes.com/sites/alankohll/2019/01/09/why-we-pay-our-employees-to-exercise-at-work/#2056095128d2

So we thought we'd change things up a little bit this week and let Justin take his turn in the guests' seat!!!

This also gives Gerard a chance to practice some of those sick interview skills that you need in order to have a show like this run smoothly. 

But overall, this episode was actually really fun, and it gave us a chance to explore around inside of Justin's head a little more, and also just flip the script and have some questions answered. 

We cover the whole nine yards, from mental and physical fitness, to the technical aspects of running your own podcast, and trying to start a business while working a full time job. 

It's not EXACTLY like all of the other "quit your 9-5" stuff that you might see out there, but we think we are working toward a similar goal, but from a whole different angle. 

And if you have any questions yourself, be sure to leave them in the comments below!!

Chances are we might do an interview like this one again and we will address your questions ON THE SHOW if you leave them as comments. 

That'd be kind of cool, right?

People are going to work every single day with some level of fear that they could eventually lose their job, which means that they would lose their income, perhaps insurance, and other benefits that might come with the employment. 

This is a big part of the reason that workplace stress is so common now. 

That stress is often magnified by poor leaders, working conditions, and heavy workloads. 

I'm here to focus on the leadership. 

Leaders can really make or break your entire work life, depending on your situation. 

And the leaders may not be the people that you think they are. 

Your bosses, managers, and other figures of authority aren't necessarily the leaders of your organization. 

They could be, but a lot of times the best leaders could also be your co-workers, or even your subordinates. 

Leadership is actually about trust, cooperation, and safety. 

So if you do not feel SAFE at your job... that could be the first problem....

Simon Sinek's TED Talk on Leadership:

https://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_why_good_leaders_make_you_feel_safe?language=en#t-161394

Let's get this straight. 

MOST people that quit their job... are not necessarily quitting the work that they have to do. 

They are getting themselves away from the people that they have to work with. 

There are a lot of terrible managers, bosses, leaders, etc. out there now in companies. 

I haven't always been a big believer in that, but I've come around to notice that it's just true. 

This is not to say that all managers/bosses/leaders are bad, of course there are also excellent ones out there. 

My point here, though, is that we do not put enough thought into the role that people play in a business. 

Relationships, communication, morale, and so on... I see tons and tons and tons of operations getting to wrapped up in sales and other numbers, that they forget why they're in business in the first place. 

To help people. 

This goes for companies big and small. 

Period.
