Just finished Elon Musk biography by Walter Isaacson.

In this episode, I focus on the five step optimization algorithm that Musk uses for all his factories and businesses.

I also address the two corollaries that accompany the five step optimization process.

In this episode, I cover how to optimize your morning coffee boost and how to minimize your afternoon crash.

Just finished reading Last of the Mohicans, one of the great early American novels.

In this episode, I discuss my favorite part of the book.

Read this book! Then watch the movie!!

Just listened to awesome podcast featuring comedians, Joe Rogan, Shane Gillis, and some guy named Matt McCusker who also is a comedian.

They had a segment on bombing in front of audiences, those shows where everyone thought they sucked or weren't funny.

It got me to thinking....

Is that what makes Rogan, Rogan?

This podcast is for everyone too afraid to suck.

This episode is on Author Steven Pressfield and the Practice of Creative Work.

I learned about Pressfield through Joe Rogan's love of Pressfield's book, The War of Art. Rogan keeps a ton of copies to give to anyone doing creative work or wanting to making living doing creative work.

Pressfield worked as a writer for 17 years before he sold his first screen play.

He waited another 10 before he published his first book.

How'd he do it?

Through developing a creative practice of consistently doing the work.

This episode is about Pressfield and the practice of doing creative work.

Here are two other books that I discuss in the podcast:

1. Turning Pro by Steven Pressfield and 2. The Practice by Seth Godin.

I just read The Heart of Buddha's Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh and will be discussing the Four Noble Truths.

Whoa, this is an amazing book that is life changing. It should be shared far and wide. It has so much much wisdom to make you the best version of you.

In this episode, I focus on the Four Noble Truths through the lens of Buddha and Thich. Loved this one!!

It's Ground Hog Day!

Just listened to the most amazing podcast, "The Trent Shelton Podcast." In his most recent podcast, he interviewed a dynamic entrepreneur named Marquise Hill about the gift of adversity.

It's a great show. Tune in! What jumped out to me was Marquise's statement on consistency, showing up day and day out. He called it the "cheat code to success."

In this episode, I connect Marquise' theme with the 1993 Ground Hog Day movie.

Consistency is the key to getting out of the misery loop and on your way to doing what you were meant to do.

Loved this one!!

Get outside and walk after dinner. In this episode, I identify the five benefits of the after dinner walk!

It's my birthday!! When I opened up my daily devotional Living God's Way by Reuben Youngdahl, I saw Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things in him who strengthens me."

In this episode, I discuss how I learned about this verse, The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale, Tim Tebow, the Mayo Clinic, and Marcus Aurelius.

In this episode, we'll cover the benefits of connecting the mind and body through meditation. We'll cover the work of Thich Nhat Hahn, how to meditate, and why it is so essential to performance
