Running Through My Mind

Episode 40 in which we begin a new week by asking... "Why Bother?" We discuss the fact "how to" is cheap and "the reason why" is gold, share a book recommendation, take a short break to enjoy a sip of DripJoy coffee (#sponsor!), and briefly mention doing searches on Yahoo.

Episode 39 in which we discuss saying NO to the things we dislike and which suck away our precious time. We also discuss not-scrubbing toilets, getting paid, marketing for maid services, and how to get delicious coffee delivered to your house from our sponsor DripJoy coffee (because saying NO to standing in line at grocery stores and coffee shops is another way to automate the boring time-sucking things in life!

Episode 37 in which we abandon our kinda-sorta-planned topic in favor of answering a question from a listener (turns out we have a few of those!) Lee (@MrExplainer) had follow-up questions after hearing episode #33 which dealt with the problem of your brain fooling itself into thinking it was productive when really it was procrastinating.

Join Don The Idea Guy as he sips from a hot cup of DripJoy coffee and percolates on the problem faced by Lee (and probably some of you as well!)

Episode 34 in which we emphasize the importance of bringing in alien brains to discuss and share new ideas -- not from other planets but from worlds outside your own business world. Coffee is a catalyst for the exchange of ideas, it facilitates the flow. We recommend #DripJoy brand coffee from our sponsor. Find out more at www.dontheideaguy.com/dripjoy

Episode 33 in which we sip a hot cup of French Elation from our sponsor @DripJoy coffee and rant about the differences between Thinking, Dreaming, and Doing; and why thinking about something feels good but it's no substitute for the actual action. (BTW: "endorphins" was the word I couldn't think of during the podcast... duh.)
