Table Rush Talk Show

How much longer can I keep teasing the podcast name change to Table Rush!  Not much longer I hope.  It is eminent.  I talk about the journey to this point and the refining of the Perfect Customer.  What message I want to bring.  Etc.  And just a bit reflective on the path to this point.  Lots to be grateful for.

Mischa Zvegintzov  00:03

This episode is about the how... Oh my God.  There's so many distractions right now. cars everywhere. I walking a different route and there's so many people.  it's Halloween ish. people in costumes skateboarders.  people with kids dressed up their dogs dressed up.  A whole pack of 30 somethings just skateboarded by dressed up as everything from...  It's all ladies so from cowboys dressed up as males to bunnies to everything in between. all on skateboards some of them pushing kids. but oh my goodness, and I'm just having bouts of insecurity as I'm walking with my phone and my MV88 mic recording.  Anyhow talk about messy action but this thought is so top of mind for me that I've just got to express it. And and basically it's that you know, The original podcast The Accelerated Path To Peace  podcast you know, although I'm changing the name and doing a rebrand to Table Rush. Table Rush masterclass. that the original accelerated path to peace podcast was indeed you know, documenting, documenting of my, of my entrepreneurial journey, the starting of the podcast, just to add a year ago. You know, hitting a year ago, this actually could be on the actual year anniversary. But, you know, step one, define an audience or your, your, you know, your dream customer.

Mischa Zvegintzov  02:14

So I worked up a rudimentary dream customer to get into the game who I thought it was, and that was the, perhaps, you know, brokenhearted, divorce dad? And how do we, how do we help that person get back on track? Or what when they're ready, you know, they're like, Alright, I'm done suffering. And being in the mire. So, let's, let's break through and in charge forward. and, and then, you know, the dream 100 putting together that list of 100 people who, who I want to work with in that regard. So there was so many people that helped me along the way with meditation, yoga, spiritual practices, energy work, writing, journaling, you know. Kyle Cease was in there such a major influence on me. And, you know, Rod Stryker, and his, his ideas, and the, the Dharma code, you know, your life mission statement. and, and working on all that stuff, and really going deep with meditation and writing and journaling and self growth. and and hunkering down you know, and, anyhow.  so all those people within all those modalities, and then really having my mind open to, well, there's those modalities that Misha used. And there's the, you know, recovery framework that's within athletes been such a big part of my life for 30 years, 35 years, on my whole life, really, because my parents were trying to get sober in my youth, as well. So deep roots there, but that there's all these other modalities that once I opened my mind, just a little, it was like, wow, there's all this cool stuff out there cool ways to calm your mind to find center to tap into, you know, to tap into your inspiration. and and, you know, the tools of a Good Life Summit came out of that as I started interviewing all these amazing people and all these things. and all that's a big part of the entrepreneurial journey, right? Mischa trying to find what he's good at. How can Mischa help? Who is that person that Mischa can help?

Mischa Zvegintzov  04:58

And then, you know, bring entrepreneurship into that which I love entrepreneurship and have my whole life and, and it's a great my spirituality absolutely expresses itself through my entrepreneurship. And so although, you know, there's some changes ahead that hopefully everybody will stay with me with and enjoy and like and prosper in, but perhaps not I totally understand it. I am just trying to say that we're not trying to say I am saying that...  you know, the first 360 episodes have been about my entrepreneurial journey, and my struggles with new ideas, new concepts, learning new things. And the online world. I've been so offline. For the last five years, as I've dug into yoga, and all that stuff, like, I was basically non existent on the social media and really just digging deep on the internal work. So this is like a fast forward process for me. Or was that is that the right word? Fast forward? I don't know, I think you understand what I'm saying. But just talking about the learning and things I'm trying to do to grow an audience that, you know, building summits, all these things. And it's interesting, because I really was relatively tech savvy. You know, in my younger years, that's normal for a lot of adults, actually, we sort of are super tech savvy and then we turn into the parents who aren't tech savvy, perhaps. And I've definitely experienced some of that.  But still am tech savvy.  I love the direct response marketing. I thrived within that, and the mortgage business for 15 years, and creating flyers and mailing lists and mailing to them and then, you know, collecting emails and nurturing my old clients with email campaigns, and then being available when they needed help.

Mischa Zvegintzov  07:18

And, and so this is very much, Mischa 2.0. And, you know, the, the, the emergence of that and, and I hope people are learning and enjoying the ride with me, and I'm doing my best to add value. And I just, I guess, maybe this in an appreciation for where I am right now. and how some things and ideas are coalescing, and coming together. and that although you know, it's a, it's a big shift in branding and podcast name, that it's exciting for me because it's going to be more focused. I'm dialing in the focus, right, the original, you know, thesis for The Accelerated Path To Peace  was very broad, very broad, you know, a wide net.  and, but very much about documenting my entrepreneurial journey, trying to be of service trying to learn how to craft my skills to bring the market and an entrepreneur way. and then hopefully, hopefully, inspire other people to do the same. And just have fun too. I'm big about having fun these days. You know, what, I do this for free and for fun? Yes, I would. And it turns out I am, because I am not at profitability yet. I'm trying. I'm working hard. But hopefully that's around the corner at some point. And anyway, I I just I'm just very excited to continue to talk in a more focused way about my entrepreneurial journey.  about the skills and tools and frameworks and systems that I'm creating to help people.  And that you get to come along with me and yeah, that's what I've got. I think that's enough. So So to recap, you know, the, The Accelerated Path To Peace  podcast was very much about my entrepreneurial journey, can literally hear it almost from the beginning 360 episodes ago to where I am now today. And this is just a refinement of that focus of that and, and so much of the musings again won't be the same. But hopefully there'll be more focused and more useful and more... you know, I'll have... again as I've said... what I'm good at, I'll be able to you know, turn into products to help people. So there we go enough out to me. Thank you for listening. The change to the new podcasts name. Table Rush is eminent. Hopefully it will not be a surprise for you when that happens. All right, love to all.

Mischa Zvegintzov  00:01

Alright, I'm going to talk about the theme of the new. The new. Sorry, I lost my train of thinking all of a sudden, it seems to happen to me. Cut, edit. Let's start again. Start again. Okay. On today's episode, we are going to talk about the theme of the new Table Rush, masterclass podcast, and You Tube channel, the rebranding of what once was to something new. And here we go, here's, here's I'm gonna give you the intro really quick welcome everybody to the Table Rush masterclass, where we get back to the marketing basics, excuse me, where we get back to the marketing and sales basics to help entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, like you grow your business to $1 million, annual revenue and beyond. And there'll be a few things going on within that. So we'll have interviews, and a few different types of interviews. So we've got I have I know a bunch of people and because my network grows, meeting more and more people that have successful million dollar annual revenue businesses, and some are well beyond that. And so let's interview those individuals. Get them on the podcast, and talk about what they do, how they got their, their successes. And, and, and, and pick their brains and, and then that'll be amazing, yes. And then also, I'll be able to help them because hopefully, some of their services will be in line with with with many or much of our listenership so. So they can have some fractional gain is that incremental gain.

Mischa Zvegintzov  02:22

But also, I know that so many entrepreneurs out there that are having success, love to share their message, love to give back. Love those mentor opportunities. So I'm super excited to interview, interview these people, and learn from them. And just, I have such a passion and interest in businesses of what people do do, what people do and their niches, and it fascinates me and always has. And was one of the things that actually made me a great loan officer was I loved the income part of taking that loan application. And I dealt with a lot of higher loan amounts. So I got to deal with a lot of business owners and I got to deal with a lot of help a lot of, you know, VP, level president level C level manager level. Style people.  And I just always loved my whole life, I've been fascinated by what people do. Again, so very exciting for me. And then, you know, what's the word I'm looking for, you know, the inspiration that entrepreneurs bring. There's a word I'm looking for visionary, so, you know, getting some visionary entrepreneurs on as well. And you know, there's so much heartfelt movement, there's so much good being done. So many people creating businesses that are, you know, of service and people are able to talk about that. Very excited for that. So, enough about that. Then we've got the whole section of entrepreneurs who are who are just getting started or on their way some are on that journey to, to, you know, that million dollar revenue mark, annual revenue mark, and I think it's gonna be really fun to document that part of the journey and especially before and after stories, so talk to someone you know, who's just getting started or, you know, maybe has their foundation firmly in place.  That journey, the journey, right. So be able to document before and after. So I'm so excited to do that.

Mischa Zvegintzov  05:09

And then And then, you know, there's, as my mission and how I can help people, you know, find focus and get back to the sales and marketing basics and, and, you know, bring my frameworks and this win this win infomercial framework system that I've developed to help people it'll be really fun to be able to document the successes and failures of that process as well. So, you know, get get people on the podcast, who are, who are having, you know, that experience of working with me. So that is going to be exciting. And then, and then some of my daily musings per usual on the podcast that I already do. So the interviews as well will all be on YouTube. So we can really, you know, strip out the audio and get the audio to the, to the podcast channel as well. But really, I think the interview is so much, so much of the passion and emotion and although it comes through on podcast interviews, the visual to be able to see that on, you know, video, that opportunity is huge, very excited for that. So I cannot wait to do that on the YouTube channel. So you'll be able to hear the interviews, and in both formats, and then I just want to talk about the million dollar mark, right, it's this million dollar annual revenue, and it's just more of a metric, I would say. So. It's, it's more about once you're hitting that mark, you know, that your message, your passion, what you're entrepreneuring how you're being of service to the world is working, you're getting your message out there, and you're being effective. And so I just like that, that metric. So it's, it's, it's, it means that you're, you're carrying your message. And I love that, and I love that idea. And I love that concept.

Mischa Zvegintzov  07:41

And then also, having cash flow can be fun. So let's make no mistake about it if you're able to, you know, generate some revenue and then be able to give back with that revenue and donate and all the stuff that comes with that. Super cool gas, so just very excited. And I can't wait to to, you know, see how my spiritual spirituality and my spiritual messages, you know, manifest through my entrepreneurship or, like entrepreneurship is, is an outlet for that and, and as so many, for so many people, it turns out in the growth that entrepreneurial entrepreneurship affords, and you know, the faith and going into center and and he knows trusting and adversity and setbacks, and just the journey, the hero's journey, so amazing. So that's what you have to look forward to, on the Table Rush Podcast. I'm getting some new logos done and we'll have a new intro and outro so hopefully, I can make that official really soon. Realistically, you'll have a few more episodes at least where I will be letting you know that the change is happening. So it won't be a completely a rude awakening and and I understand if some people will not groove on the message so much anymore. But I totally get it seems it's a maturation for me and and I think yeah.  I think this next episode I will talk about how you know, the entrepreneurial journey has been such a big part of the original podcast anyway. So that's it I'll talk about in the next episode love to all

Turns out that changing the name of the podcast is going to be easier than I thought.  All of the worrying about the underlying tech was unfounded.  So yet again, making decisions on false assumptions, comes back to give me a little bit in the butt.   ...and as I'm publishing this episode I am running out the door to see Bill Burr...  So this is all the notes you are going to get :).

Mischa Zvegintzov  00:00

It's a busy day at the park as I walk in record with my sure and V 88 mic that all of you all should have who are fledgling podcasters and or YouTubers because the little mic is awesome. Anyhow today we're going to discuss the change of the podcast name I was in a bit of a panic mode and I recorded on the last episode about the potential name change. So I'm going to talk about that today. Yes, so I am going to change the name of the podcast it turns out and I will change it to table rush table rush master class perhaps when you listen to this episode The name will be changed no I'm not going to do that because I want to give everybody plenty of notice that the name is changing so you know and there's a lesson in all this which I'm going to talk about right now. And I've been through it a few times as I have created the bitch slap podcast as I've as I've you know, worked on becoming an and and Amazon affiliate and got kicked off as I was clawing and scratching to be a to get my apple my original thing you know bitch slap accelerated path to peace podcast approved with Apple there's a consistent theme and all this and one is I will make assumptions about how I think things work and I will take actions according to the assumption or inactions according to that assumption and blended in there as is I will see the rules and perhaps think they don't apply to me as well as take some action based on not complete you know information and and have reactionary moments which is normal for everybody if you are above that or oblivious to that I'm not sure if oblivious is the right word to use there are immune to that well God bless you and I will also say that it doesn't happen all the time it's usually when if there's a mission critical thing happening and I perhaps think well I suppose it is mission critical thing all this stuff in hindsight is not been mission critical I think you get what I'm saying. So in a perfect world I would have these thought streams ironed out perfectly. So it was a cohesive easy flowing easy read of an episode however, so I was all excited originally to change the name of the podcast to to table rush. And then I sort of panicked like I was ready to let go of the of the bitch slap name. And I effectively moved on from it in my head. Although as I've gotten traction with that podcast with this podcast over the last six weeks I was like wait what what am I doing? But I'm so had some reclaimed attachment to the original podcast name. That might be a good way to say it.
Mischa Zvegintzov  04:53

So filler word filler word. So I started looking into changing the podcast name. And there's RSS feeds, and subdomains and all this stuff associated with a podcast and who hosts your podcast? And I overreacted? And was like, I can't just change the name. I can't just change the name. Which is not true, actually. And so I sort of panicked. And was like, Well, I guess I'm going to keep the bitch slap accelerated path to peace name, and this and that, because I thought that the underlying subdomains or the domains would keep the original title in it. And the change of the title wouldn't filter down through through the subdomains, and domains and all this sort of stuff. And and after the last episode I recorded, which I was like not not changing the name. I was like, wait a minute, this can't be right, I've got to do a little bit of digging, I can't it's not realistic. It's not seamless. It's not efficient. It's not. It's a diluted message to have. The table rush, masterclass YouTube channel, and then the original pitch, slap accelerated path piece podcast name, like the the, the messages aren't necessarily as cohesive as they could be, or as efficient as they could be. It sounds like man, I might just have to give up the podcast all together. And, and so I was like, Well, wait a minute. Why don't I actually ask the question of the podcast people? Can I change the name? And the branding of it? And will that filter down through the domain subdomains? Etc, etc? And the RSS, the RSS feed will be fine? And the answer was, yes. And I was like, Oh, my goodness, I can change the podcast name. It can all be clean, and easy and work together. And I recorded that last episode, one right before this, or maybe two ago, let's either perhaps it's two ago, one or two ago where I was like, I'm not changing the name. After all. That is not true. Maybe I didn't even publish that episode, as you listen to this, just know that I had a panic moment. And and thought that I wasn't gonna be able to change the name on it. So I think that's super funny. And it happened to me when Apple was giving me pushback about my podcast name. And I was like, Oh, my gosh, I might need to change the name to God shot. And there's that whole series back 300 episodes ago, when I was just getting started, but it was a same sort of a thing i i kind of spent time in reaction mode instead of time in find out how it actually works, Mohammed. Right, so I just assumed the answer that would allow or justify the, the the change from bitch slap to God shot when it was like, Oh, I just needed to dig a little bit more, send the app the email to Apple customer service. And once I finally did that step, which I assumed it wouldn't work literally. I was like, apple won't respond to the customer service inquiry. They're too big of a corporation. So why bother? Why not start designing new logos to God shot? Why not record new intros and outros? Why not do all this work? So I did a good week or 10 days of work. And finally, it was like, Maybe you should just send that email and see what happens. So I sent the email to Apple customer service. And they responded so quickly. They helped me work through the issue. And there was no problem. I just had basically a truncated version of the same experience just now, except it only took two days.

Mischa Zvegintzov  09:50

And only one recorded episode where I put the brakes on the name change, but just know that the podcast name is changing. I'll be definitely talking about much of much of these business concepts. But still talking about spiritual stuff. How did I say it earlier is I was interviewing somebody. And we were having some pre conversation I said, yeah, the name is changing and, and effectively, it's going to be how, you know, our spirituality comes through, and our entrepreneurship. I actually wrote it down was a great little quote. So that's what's happening. That's what's going on. Thank you, everybody, for your patience. Thank you for listening. Thank you for being on this amazing journey with me as I as I continue to grow and refine what I'm doing and yes, have a good day.

0:00:05.8 Mischa Zvegintzov: Welcome back everybody, to the Tools For a Good Life summit. And right now, I would like to introduce to you, Dr. Jamie Marich. And hello, and I'll read your bio real quick, if that's okay?

0:00:20.6 Dr. Jamie Marich: Go for it.

0:00:23.1 MZ: Fantastic. So Dr. Jamie Marich travels internationally, speaking on topics related to EMDR, EMDR therapy, trauma, addiction, expressive arts, yoga and mindfulness, while maintaining a private practice and online education operations. I lost my place. [chuckle] The Institute for Creative Mindfulness in your home base of Warren, Ohio. You are the developer of the Dancing Mindfulness Approach to Expressive Arts Therapy and the developer of yoga for clinicians. You are the author of numerous books, including the popular EMDR Made Simple, Trauma Made Simple, and Process, Not Perfection. You are the co-author of EMDR Therapy and Mindfulness for Trauma-Focused Care, and Healing Addiction With EMDR Therapy: A Trauma-Focused Guide, out later this year from Springer publishing company. North Atlantic Books published a revised and expanded edition of Trauma and The 12 Steps, in the summer of 2020, and they are also publishing The Healing Power of Jujitsu: A Guide to Transforming Trauma and Facilitating Recovery, and Dissociation Made Simple, both due out in 2022. Jamie is a woman living unapologetically, with a dissociative, it's a tricky word, a dissociative disorder, and this forms the basis of your award-winning passion for advocacy in the mental health field. Welcome. So, I thought this would be fun. You're a PhD, yes?

0:02:19.3 DM: Yes.

0:02:21.0 MZ: So, how many hours do you have into that? Tell me, how many hours?

0:02:28.1 DM: That went into school? Well, I was in school all total from my bachelor's through my master's, for nine years. I finished my PhD in about three, three and a half years, so I don't know how many hours, I've spent a lot of time in school.

0:02:42.4 MZ: A lot of time in school. And then we've also got LPCC-S.

0:02:47.5 DM: Oh, those are just licenses that you see after my name. So LPCC-S is Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. So those are my state licenses, and this is the whole big letter soup of the helping professionals, that in different states there are different licenses, and that's what that means.

0:03:04.1 MZ: Yeah, cool. And then the LICDC-CS, that's another...

0:03:08.8 DM: That's Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor. So, one is mental health, one is chemical dependency. I don't know why they're two separate licenses, but they are.

0:03:18.6 MZ: You know what? Lucky. You're lucky. And then we've got REAT.

0:03:26.0 DM: So that is Registered Expressive Arts Therapist.

0:03:28.4 MZ: Oh, okay, very cool. RYT 500, which I believe is...

0:03:32.6 DM: Registered Yoga Teacher.

0:03:33.9 MZ: Right, registered. And 500, that's like next level, I think entry level is 200 hours and then 500 hour's a whole another ballgame.

0:03:43.1 DM: Yeah, yeah. But I really feel any yoga teacher trainings about what you learn about yourself in the process. So it's nice to have the credential, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

0:03:54.4 MZ: Absolutely. Did you jump into yoga teacher training more as a personal experience, and then you thought... Yeah, I think that happens a lot, doesn't it?

0:04:03.6 DM: Well, what's interesting is I had used it clinically, over the years, but having not taken a full teacher training, 'cause I've had a yoga practice most of my clinical life, it's been an essential part of my own self-nourishment and care. And so, I started taking just some trauma-informed yoga workshops and doing some reading and then implementing it into clinical life, and I actually didn't do the teacher training until not that long ago, just a few years ago, because I knew I wanted to take my personal study to the next level. And that was my main motivation, and I always feel that the best yoga teachers are people who simply share from their practice. And so yeah, I do some yoga teaching, but a lot of it is what I integrate into my clinical work and education courses that I offer for other therapists.

0:04:54.8 MZ: Yeah, I love it. And then my understanding as well is, once you get into the 500 hours of the yoga teacher training, you start heavily going into perhaps some eastern philosophy style stuff, perhaps Hindu teachings, all that fun stuff. Yeah?

0:05:15.6 DM: Yeah, and it depends on the program you do, and it depends on the lineage, but I was very fortunate to do a really strong lineage-based training, and I learned a lot with The Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras and philosophy, and that's just so rich, and to me, more important than any pose you're gonna learn.

0:05:33.0 MZ: Absolutely, and I think that the Asana or the movement side of yoga is such a small piece of the bigger philosophy, and not to make this all about that, but it's fun to talk about. And then we've also got last one, RMT.

0:05:50.0 DM: Oh, Reiki Master Teacher.

0:05:53.5 MZ: Oh, Reiki Master Teacher? Awesome, and that's energy, right? Energy work.

0:05:57.0 DM: I love the energy.

0:05:58.4 MZ: Yeah, fantastic. And so, I just thought it'd be fun to read all that, because I think sometimes it gets lost, the expertise that somebody such as yourself has, in what we're gonna talk about. You have a lifetime of involvement in not only helping people, but literally learning. Yeah?

0:06:22.9 DM: Yeah.

0:06:23.5 MZ: Yeah, that's... Oh, go ahead.

0:06:25.3 DM: Yeah, on one hand, it is, as you present it that way, yeah, I do. And on the other hand, it's, "How could I not pursue the path of learning?" 'cause I've needed it for my own healing and tool for a better life, right?

0:06:41.8 MZ: Yeah, absolutely.

0:06:42.4 DM: That's why we're here.

0:06:44.1 MZ: Yeah. And then you have The Trauma and The 12 Steps. Do you have history in recovery, sobriety yourself?

0:06:53.7 DM: I do. Yeah, I've been clean and sober almost 19 years, and that was really what was the impetus for my healing journey. And I initially came in through a very 12-step path. I still have a lot of respect for the 12 steps, but I've needed to bring in a lot of other healing modalities too, which is how EMDR came into my life, which is, I think, the main thing we're gonna be talking about today.

0:07:16.9 MZ: Yeah, absolutely. And then I wanted to just quick... Two things. One, I think trauma. So when we say Trauma and The 12 Steps, we perhaps are gonna throw the word trauma around. As a white male, six foot two, I'm speaking for me, pull myself up by my bootstraps. Somebody tells me trauma, I tend to, not so much anymore, but get a little bit of contemptuous, like, "I've never been through any trauma." But I think it's a lot broader spectrum than we would care to admit, perhaps someone like me. So go ahead, I'll let you speak to that for a sec.

0:07:58.7 DM: So here is my working definition. Trauma is any unhealed human wound. The English word, trauma, is a direct translation from the Greek word that means wound. It is a simple direct translation, trauma is a wound, so it's any unhealed human wound. And just like with physical wounds, that can come in all shapes and sizes. If the wound is not given a chance to heal, it can cause complications. And so, we could think of physical wounding as this process of, "Oh, somebody has it bad." But if they're given a chance to heal it and they get treatment, it may go on not being such a big issue in their life, but it could be something that on the surface, seems just like a scrape or a rash, but if the person is immuno-compromised or they're not getting the nutrition they need, if they're not getting the care they need, if they keep picking at it, it's going to continue to be an issue. So we can look at a lot of these parallels with physical wounding, and what we know about physical wounding and translate it to the mental, emotional, spiritual. That wounds are wounds, and yes, some are big, some are small, but individuals can experience them subjectively, and if wounds are not given a chance to heal, if they're not given the treatment or care that they need, regardless of how big or small they are, they could go on to create problems.

0:09:20.7 DM: So yeah, I think you're bringing up a good point, that a lot of cultural association with trauma is still things that are at the level of what we might call Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or having gone to war, or having survived a natural disaster. And even in diagnostic codes, we've expanded our definition of that a little bit, that there's a lot of different ways people can go through life or injury-threatening experiences, and even witnessing someone else go through it, eventually qualify you for PTSD. But there's a lot of these kind of human wounds we're talking about, of all kinds, that won't necessarily give you a diagnosis, but that doesn't mean they are any less of an issue.

0:10:02.3 MZ: Absolutely, and I love that or don't love it, whichever way you wanna look at it. But it could be going through parental divorce as a child, or perhaps the way we were brought up, which was acceptable 50 years ago, now might be like, "Yeah, that actually might have encouraged some trauma in your life, for example. Yeah? Yeah. Perfect. Alright, so we are here to talk about EMDR. Thank you for indulging me with...

0:10:31.8 DM: It's a great set up question, to be talking about EMDR.

0:10:35.0 MZ: Yeah, perfect. So I'm gonna give you a scenario, and then I'm gonna ask you a question. Okay?

0:10:41.6 DM: Perfect.

0:10:42.2 MZ: Fantastic, so if we think of life as a three-legged stool of relationships, finance and health, and then we think of someone who is or was successful and has two of those legs fall out from under them, and I'm basically just talking about me 10 years ago, honestly. But anyway, this could be a combination of divorce. So I went through a divorce 10 years ago, it was heavy, a couple of kids, career upheaval. So my career was on track, all I'd really known for a good 15 years was success, and then all of a sudden that blew up. One of my children was not acting like I wanted, and then I went through another failed relationship, and it was pretty heavy. And I was lucky, at the time, I didn't have any physical health challenges, but for some people, it can be physical health challenges. That coupled with some divorce or something, that can be very heavy, or for me, both my parents died really quick at that time too, so I was shellacked, I've been in recovery for a long time as well.

0:11:55.0 MZ: But up until that point, it was like, "Pick yourself up from your bootstraps, Mischa. You can fix it, you can work your way through it, you can success yourself through it." And then at that point, I don't know if chaos is the right word, but it was so heavy for me, that it was like, "Man, I need new tools, I need new tools, I need to be open-minded because push-ups are not gonna do it," [chuckle] whatever. So my question to you, thinking of EMDR, what are the exact next steps you would offer this person, or me, so I knew I would be headed in the new right direction, that I'll have positive momentum towards getting my life back on track?

0:12:43.4 DM: Well, 'cause I feel, to properly answer that question, I need to explain a little bit of what EMDR is, because a lot of people may not have a frame of reference. So EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. So it's a mouthful, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. And it's been around now, for over 30 years. A psychologist had formally tapped into the process of it, when she was in recovery from her own journey with cancer and she was very interested in mind-body medicine. And when she was taking a walk in a park one day, she noticed that her eyes began to move rapidly as she was engaging with some disturbing thoughts. And so, she sat down and she tested out the eye movement process deliberately, of moving the eyes back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, to see if it would have any impact on her mental wellness. And yeah, she noticed that some of the disturbing

As we get ready to complete the rebrand of the podcast to the “Table Rush Talk Show”.  I believe that we can express our spirituality through our entrepreneurship. So we're going to be talking a lot about that in future episodes, and just growing businesses and having fun in sales and marketing and all kinds of good stuff. I believe a big part of expressing ourselves through entrepreneurship is meditation.  And so with that I bring you the “Bliss Meditation.”   A meditation written by Rod Stryker.

Transcript: Welcome, everybody to the Thursday meditation of what is about to be the Table Rush Talk Show, the Table Rush Talk Show. And again, as a reminder, I'm in a rebrand and just about to change the name of the podcast from Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path To Peace over to the table rush, talk show. It's going to be more entre proneural minded, entrepreneurial minded. Again, this is the Thursday meditation, so hang in there with me.

00:40 I believe that we can express our spirituality through our entrepreneurship. So we're going to be talking a lot about that in future episodes, and just growing businesses and having fun in sales and marketing and all kinds of good stuff. I believe a big part of expressing ourselves through entrepreneurship is meditation. And meditation is such a powerful tool to help us tap into that creative zone.  To co create with the universe. to be inspired.  to learn how to be nice and calm when the battle gets strong, shall we say. But nonetheless, here's a meditation. This meditation is a script that I have grabbed from Rod Strykers the forward desires. So let's get started. And be aware that there are some some spaces of time in here where I will not be talking. So it might be a minute, at some points and some points, two minutes where I won't be talking. So the meditation will be over, I will just be being quiet. So let's get started.

02:03 Start by sitting tall, either in a comfortable and supportive chair, or on your couch or perhaps you've pulled over and are sitting in your car. The key thing to me is that you're sitting comfortably, where you can sit for 15 or 20 minutes withoutfeeling like you're having to hold a position if that makes sense.

02:35 Alright, here we go.

02:37 Close your eyes

02:42 become aware of your body

02:46 just relax and feel your body at rest.

02:54 Become aware of effortless breathing

02:59 feel the whole body

03:02 and feel it breathing effortlessly?

04:05 Now we're going to begin to count backward on our breath.

04:12 We're going to start up the number 10. And whenever we notice our body breathe out, that will be the first count. So breathe in.

04:29 First exhale 10

04:36 Breathe in

04:43 next exhale eight.

04:48 Continue breathing. Each breath is a step backward where you feel your body and mind relax.

05:00 acts more and more deeply

05:06 continue

05:09 the closer you get to zero

05:12 the more your body and mind approach a state of complete ease

05:21 on each exhale peel away another layer of stress and tension

05:35 at zero rest in complete stillness and peace

05:41 for a moment just feel the presence of stillness and peace.

06:46 Now bring your attention to your forehead in the space between your eyebrows as you hold your attention there.

07:59 Become aware of your body breathing,

08:04 don't force or try to shape your breath.

08:08 Just be aware of the point between your eyebrows and your body breathing

08:16 the more effortless you can be the better.

09:20 Allow your awareness to connect your breath to the point between your eyebrows.

09:29 Now when you notice the body breathing in, your awareness moves from the point between your eyebrows to the midbrain.

09:40 Something called the third eye.

09:44 The midbrain is the point in the middle of your brain, roughly between your temples.

09:52 When you notice your body breathing out, sense your awareness moving from the point from

10:00 that point to the point between your eyebrows

10:05 continue

10:07 just continue to feel your awareness move from one point to another on the movement of your breath

10:18 as you breathe in, awareness moves from the center of the eyebrows to the midbrain.

10:27 As you breathe out awareness moves from the midbrain to the center eyebrow to the eyebrows Center.

12:46 As your mind begins to settle,

12:50 you will begin to feel the practice becoming more effortless and a growing sense of calm. Continue

15:01 gradually you will become so relaxed your mind so quiet that you will be able to rest

15:12 your whole being absorbed in a rhythm of deep rest and contentment

17:23 as you experience this sense yourself becoming fully absorbed in the center just be there watch feel and listen?

19:37 As the mind and body enter into a rhythm of deep peace and effortlessness, you begin to sense that your awareness at the point between your eyebrows moves in and out on its own independent of the breath

19:59 eventually you can stop thinking about and working with a breath and just be aware of a kind of effortless pulse moving in in and out of the Third Eye Center

20:17 gradually feel a sense of bliss unfolding your whole being flooded with a boundless sense of contentment and joy

20:29 don't try just be aware and at the same time completely effortless contentment will continue to unfold the more completely you let go into effortlessness?

22:46 now become aware that the source of this contentment and joy you are experiencing is actually coming from you. It is you continue letting go into the meditation until you feel that you are the source of joy and bliss. Eventually your body will feel so full of ease that you won't need to do the practice anymore.

23:19 At that point, notice a feeling of deep peace both inside and outside you

25:39 remain in this place for as long as you like.

25:44 The meditation is complete.

25:48 When you're ready,

25:51 bring your awareness back to your breath.

25:55 Breath in

26:01 gentle breath out through the mouth.

26:08 Breath in through the nose

26:13 gentle breath out through the mouth.

26:18 Wiggle your fingers

26:24 wiggle your toes

26:31 roll your head from side to side. Blink your eyes open.

26:38 Embrace the new awareness

26:42 that you have of your surroundings.

26:45 And take that wisdom that you have that connection to your center and bring that to the rest of your day.

26:56 Have a fabulous day

A little update on the general direction of what I’m doing.  Lot’s of messy action.  I’ve started the Table Rush YouTube channel without all the cool logos, intros, outs, etc.  But I have no audience to offend yet so get after it.   I hint that I might not rebrand the podcast to Table Rush (Spoiler alert! I am absolutely rebranding this podcast to Table Rush.)  And I finally am willing to talk about my new idea…  If you have a product, you'd like to create a long form sales video to sell that product. I've got a structure a method a process to make that enjoyable, easy and fun.  The Winfomercial!

Mischa Zvegintzov  00:02

Okay, time for a little update on general direction. So I've got my my Table Rush, YouTube channel up and running. It's not pretty, it's not sexy yet, but it is up and running. We've got some interviews on there, and I've got some momentum. And I decided to just take super messy action and start going before I had all the cool intros, outros, logos, any of that stuff. Like to start getting those episodes up, man. There's no audience there yet anyway, so there's no one to be offended. And I've got my Bitch Slap podcast, which you're listening to Hello. And so I was going to believe a few episodes ago, I was talking about having the Table Rush, rebranding the Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path To Peace Podcast, to Table Rush, but I had an epiphany that the cleanest easiest way to go is just keep doing my daily musings on the Bitch Slap podcast, and then start doing just create that YouTube channel that I always wanted to create. And that is the Table Rush Masterclass YouTube channel.  So I'm going to keep it nice and clean and the bitch slap podcast will continue on and there will be business themes weaved on through it just as there was before.  I actually don't think there's going to be much change other than then. Yeah, I don't think there's gonna be much change, just keep tracking the growth of the, of the project that I'm up to the co-creating with the universe. So awesome. Interviews might change a little bit, I might pull the Table Rush interviews and post them on this podcast. But we'll see. I just want to say that all signs, the universe has given me tons of feedback that I am absolutely on the right track. With with the Table Rush idea, and then also keeping the, the podcast so that feels good.

Mischa Zvegintzov  02:59 So there'll be no re branding of the podcast. And you could anticipate me pointing you to the Table Rush podcast from from this Table Rush YouTube channel from this podcast and what's so what I'm so excited about on the on the YouTube channel is I like interacting in the video format. And I think it's fun to watch the speakers and the interviewees interact and it just as it's a ton of fun, it's a it's a great way to interact, and also reach a different segment of my audience. So super excited about that. We're so excited to have it be absolutely business oriented. And to really delve into that side of things. And I think so much personal and spiritual growth can come from, you know, entrepreneurship and being of service and trying to be of service to community and creating that win win win environment. that it's gonna be super fun to explore and bring my spiritual side into that into that business realm. As that was all we're already doing. Just a more focused just a more focused direction and approach, which I guess is a natural progression of finding my voice and learning and, and seeing how and who I can serve in the best way

Mischa Zvegintzov  05:01 Okay, enough of that, that one thing that. So I had this inspiration. And this inspiration was about how to use my interviewing techniques.  My openness and my, you know, my big heart, my childish curiosity, my true interest and other people in business endeavors that that could be a skill to nurture. And to help people in the business realm. So one idea for that is, is to, by the interview process, help people suss out their message. And with the method that I'm creating, to help them create content that will create traffic, and convert that traffic into customers. And, by me, bringing my natural skills and interests to market to do that. Boy.  So what I've created, gonna say it I've been holding back and hesitant, I want this to be the perfect episode to say it. The process I've created or creating, it's almost done almost ready to be rolled out. It's called the Winfomercial.  The Winfomercial!  It's kind of like, like, it's like blending the old and the new, it's funky, new, this funky, New Age communication tool. And, yes, I've got some, some beta customers that I'm bringing through and working on the process with them. And it's pretty exciting. Totally winging this episode, now promote. So it wasn't really prepared to talk about it. But I just turned out turns out the universe wants me to get it out there. So. So you can think of it this way. You have a product, you'd like to create a long form sales video to sell that product. I've got a structure a method a process to make that enjoyable, easy and fun. And I'll interview you. And your natural charisma, the best parts of you will easily shine. And so I'll just I'll take a lot of that weight off of your shoulders. I'll be the director, the producer. And I know what questions to ask. And my shiny character, my shining light, my openness, my true enthusiasm. And Curiosity will suss out, in you, what needs to be conveyed into the sales message. There's a whole bunch of other stuff going on there too. But that's the gist of it. Thank you for listening. I will learn how to say it better. But that's what's happening. So I'm super excited to put it out there into the world like this. It's not anticipating that so. Wow. Anyway, that's the direction that's what's happening. Thank you for being part of my creative process. Thank you for sticking with me and learning with me and growing with me and yes, take some risks. Try some things. Go for it. Right. There's some endeavors that you want to try. Perhaps give them a go that's it I'm done. Peace out.

The strategy is join five or so FaceBook groups that have a 100k members total.  Than interact with those groups to generate organic traffic to your FB page, lead magnets ect.  Step A) was leave all of the groups I didn’t like!  Step B is find groups that I want to interact with.  That have quality interactions.  It turns out it’s a lot of work to find those quality groups that are a good fit.     So with some effort I’ve seen my Podcast downloads increase 25%!  With some at least doubling weeks.

Transcript: 

Mischa Zvegintzov  00:00 Oh, all righty. On this episode, I'm going to discuss the effectiveness of the 100k Facebook group strategy. Because I've been having some interesting results, some interesting results. So that'll be super fun to talk about.

Mischa Zvegintzov  00:24 (Intro) Imagine a conscious contact with God so strong, that no matter what you are doing or not doing, that no matter what your kids are up to, or )Inot up to, and then whether you've got the person of your dreams or they're just not cooperating, that you are happy content, and at peace, a space where everyone else's thoughts, attitudes and actions are beautiful, and exactly as they are supposed to be. Well, this is the space where I like to play. My name is Misha Z. And this is today's pitch slap. Join me as I shed light on the thoughts, actions and attitudes that are causing you pain. And we train our minds to go to the capital S inner self, the joy that is waiting for us that God with in.

Mischa Zvegintzov  01:16 Yes, the Russell Brunson 100k Facebook group strategy to grow your audience. And I would be naive to think if Russell Brunson wasn't the only one to have the strategy. But he's where I stumbled across it. And yeah, so it's it's kind of working. But before I get to that, I just want to say that my Table Rush masterclass YouTube channel, go check it out, just Google Table Rush masterclass. And it should come up. And you can check it out there should be by the time this episode publishes a good 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 interviews up there. But I keep getting confirmation that I am on the right track with that. So, you know, let's get back to the 100k. Cuz it could be a whole other episode. Yes, sorry, for the distraction. Since time is valuable, I'm not going to start over. But the 100k group strategy is such you find groups that you're interested in being a part of on Facebook, right? For anybody who is unaware, there's all sorts of cool Facebook groups out there on every niche, you can comprehend. Some of the groups are private. So you either need to be invited into the group, or you can ask to be invited, or you can ask for them to let you in. And some Facebook groups come with paid coaching. So perhaps you're in a paid coaching group and they have a Facebook group, stuff like that. But all sorts of different all sorts of different Facebook groups.

Mischa Zvegintzov  03:39 Sorry, I'm a bit diverted. I'm an hoovering. Moms with dogs moms with kids. It's Halloween, right around the corner has ever recorded this. So we've got kids in Batman and Superman, princesses all over the place. All right, I made it through. And anyone who has a podcast or YouTube channel or a blog, a key to consistent publishing, is finding the times where you know you can you can bang out an episode. And so for me, it's when I'm walking. It's easy for me to record a podcast episode, you just get to hear my distraction as I stumble across kids.

Mischa Zvegintzov  04:29 Anyhow, pick your groups. And so I've got some marketing groups. I'm interested in, obviously some Russell Brunson coaching group that I'm in small private group. I was in every kind of group. Not every kind of is that a lot of this like mindset groups, spirituality groups, you know, like Ram Das groups, when I thought I was going to be talking more and more about that and offering courses in that regard. I was in all those groups and but as I'm going a more business oriented direction, I found that those groups were you know...  the according to the 100k strategy, you get into your groups that have 100,000 people, so. And then. So preferably those groups are 25,000 each or less. So, if you found four groups of, excuse me five groups of 20,000. Now, you've got 100,000 people, each day you answer three questions within each group. So they've got to be active groups that have lots of questions, flowing through opportunities for you to comment, and add value. And then also, you do a value post. So a value posts that is just like, this is the thing that I learned today, or I'm focusing on or whatever that adds value, but doesn't request anything of the group. And then as you're doing your value posts, and answering questions, people will go, "gosh, who is this amazing person that's giving these great answers to these questions, and he was dropping these value bombs". And then they'll click on your Facebook profile. And then on your Facebook profile, it perhaps says what you does, but you do, or has cool links to all your fun stuff, then bam, you're creating free organic traffic, to your content, lead magnets, all this kind of stuff.

Mischa Zvegintzov  07:04 So initially, I was more on the, like, the spiritual oriented metaphysical style groups had a lot of them. And what I found that was that a lot of the questions that were being answered were, like, dark and just stuffed it in make me feel shiny, and "yay!", right? Like, oh, my God, this is stuff that I don't want to I don't, it's not for me, right? Currently answering these questions or doing value bombs there, or what have you. So the last week, I have been cleaning up my groups, because I want to be efficient in my groups, and be in groups that I like, and that I believe I can add value in and that are fun for me. I'm all about fun. Right now. It's got to be fun of some sort. I mean, there's always can be frustration in the moment, but over arching an overarching bit of fun. I would like it to be sorry, distractions abound isn't walking more than usual today, it seems. And so it was actually a surprising amount of work leaving groups. So that was step a, leave the groups that, that I that? The interactions, I don't like the people in the group or not, for me, the questions that are being answered, I don't care about or don't inspire me to respond to, right, just cleaning it up a house cleaning. so I must have cleaned out 20 groups. That also meant now that I needed to start finding groups that I want did want to interact with. So I've been doing that and and it's more work than you might think. Cuz a lot of the public groups. It's just nonsense posts, spammers, all kinds of stuff. God bless, right, like, promoting, promote, promote. And so I'm looking for groups where I'm looking for quality interactions. So I am looking at the interactions that are happening. Is there a lot of interaction? Is it quality? are intelligent questions being answered? are intelligent questions being asked? Telogen answers. You know, like, I like the smart stuff.

Mischa Zvegintzov  09:52 And there's something you know, this is just, I know where I can do well in. So that's what I'm looking for. I know who and what I want to interact with. So your person, your group, might be completely different. And that's cool. Find the groups that you can thrive in, that it's natural for you to interact with. Now, it might take some courage to start interacting, but that's alright. I mean, you got to go for it. So yes, it's been, it's been a bit more work than I anticipated. Cleaning up all the groups, joining new groups, and then leaving the groups once the private ones they let you in, and you're like, yep, not for me, leave that group. And then, of course, building the habit of answering questions and value posts. So I just want to say that, as I've been focusing on this for two or three weeks now, it started by just answering questions. It works, the process works, like I literally went from it's, it's at least 25% increase in my (sounds like an add doesnt it).  "At least 25% increase". A combination of Funnel Hacking Live, interacting with all the groups. Funnel Hacking Live group being one of them. So I got, I got to enter into that group as a result of going and it's a nice little group of a couple thousand People of like minded people... that there's a lot of interactions. So interacting in that group interacting in my coaching group interacting in a podcast group that I found.  I went from, hopefully having, you know, 300 downloads a week, to my new bar is 400. Like, I went all the sudden, I started having some 800, or 900, download weeks.  Where I'd never seen that before. And it was like, Wait a minute. So if you were to look at a graph, since Funnel Hacking live, you would see a steady increase as I've started interacting on groups that excite me. So I've got a long way to go to I get 100,000 People that I want to interact with within those groups. But per usual, as is the case was with most things. Effort!  You put the effort in, you're going to get results, and it doesn't need to be perfect effort. So I'm finding that I'll report back on further growth is that happens. I would encourage anybody that's trying to grow an audience. Start interacting with groups that you like, on Facebook. And then on your Facebook page, when people come to your page to see who is this smart person that's interacting. They can naturally click on your podcast link. I've got my podcasts like there currently.  So there you go. That's what I've got for you. This episodes stretched, a little stretched out a little bit. But pretty useful. Thanks for listening.

On this episode I commit to starting the Table Rush YouTube channel.  But I’m still hedging on the podcast name change to “Table Rush”…  At this point it is all about the path of least resistance.  And trying to co create with the universe.  Here is the first Table Rush interview as promised in the episode https://youtu.be/Qlp8Eu7hfXI

Mischa Zvegintzov 00:01 Okay, so as I am, this episode is to give you an update of what's happening with the podcast, some new creative ideas that I've had and, and what I'm thinking in that regard.  Because I have been talking about changing the name of the podcast. So yes, I've been talking about changing the name of the podcast to Table Rush, because my new avatar, who's smart, by the way, thank you Waylon. The way he framed that, go back and listen to the previous episode. At the end, oh, my goodness, life is fun. I am so lucky to be able to do this. And have fun. Thank you for listening. So where did I end up with? What was happening with the podcast? My idea was to just rename this existing podcast to Table Rush and do a rebrand of it. Perhaps and and then people could see the journey with the podcast so it wouldn't be starting a brand new podcast and and I have been interviewing, doing these new interviews for Table Rush. So the Table Rush masterclass is table rush masterclass where we get back to the sales and marketing basics to help you get your company to $1 million and beyond. It's the new vision. And so I've got, you know, for episodes for interviews done as I record this episode right now.

Mischa Zvegintzov 02:16 And as I have been doing some meditating and trying to align with source, as I co create with the universe, co create with God. I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, I've won't be bashful with it, right? Like, I'm trying to co create with God right now people. So one of the prayers I'm doing within that is "today, I will make no decisions by myself." "Today, I will make no decisions by myself." I believe I've talked about this idea on the previous episode. But basically, it just means like, try I'm working very hard to be co creating with God, my higher power source, the capital S inner self, the big self, not the egoic small self. And, and that so trying to work from that space, it's been very effective. And since some and so some awareness I got in that regard, strategically to move forward. Well, basically was this, like, Well, gosh, I need if I renamed the podcast. There's this RSS feed and there's the original, like, what's effect the.com name of the thing that's tied to the RSS feed this is all technobabble doesn't matter what it means is that it keeps the original Bitch Slap ...he Accelerated Path To Peace! moniker. Although that the title you would see might be different when you click on the link, you know, just the old Bitch Slap stuff, which is cool. And I love and I was like, gosh, I'm gonna need to recreate new intros and outros and the music and, and get new artwork for this rebranding. Excuse me, and I've got other stuff going on. And I actually don't even currently want to, I know how to find the who's to do it. But I don't even want to do that at the moment. And so I was like, at the same time in the back of my mind for a while. I've been wanting to create a YouTube channel.

Mischa Zvegintzov 04:55 Because Because I'm like I need to I'm a personality. On camera and the people I interview show it when you interview them on camera, you can see their personality and that can be a fun way to see the content. So I've been very much wanting to start start a YouTube channel.  And I didn't necessarily just want to do like the Bitch Slap podcast YouTube channel or wasn't inspired to and then all the sudden I was like wait a minute just go create the Bitch Slap Master or the excuse me the Table Rush Masterclass Podcast and channel and then you're good to go. And it all came together really quick. Like oh my gosh, I could literally I just went and created that channel about two seconds. And I've already got four so interviews I can start posting right away like it's so easy. I don't have to create intros, outros music, graphics, anything yet. I could literally just start posting the videos up there the interviews and get after it. And then I was like, hey, you know what a good idea is and we'll see if this happens. By the time this episode comes out, perhaps this will be happening. But the YouTube masterclass would... I could literally just say something like this. If you want to hear more of my daily musings, go over to the Bitch Slap, Bitch Slap ...Accelerated Path To Peace podcast, here's the link. And then on the podcast side, I could say hey, if you want to see any of these interviews moving forward. if you would like to watch them, instead of just listen to them. You can watch them over on the master class on the Table Rush Master Class YouTube channel, Geez Louise.

Mischa Zvegintzov 07:24 And I'm thinking like yes, that's awesome that so that's what I'm going to do as I record this that's what I'm going to do. Some people might think that's a great idea. Some people might think it's a bad idea. more will be revealed. Sometimes you just got to go for it. And that's the path of least resistance. And right now that's what I need the path of least resistance. And I guess that's the path of least resistance. And I am wanting to my goal with this episode is to keep you engaged, keep you abreast of the journey and what I'm thinking so you can be along the ride with me on a more deeper level. Right like the shift is definitely going towards the business side of things but fully bring in the spiritual message. you know, co creation with the universe co creating with God all that stuff, all the spiritual tips and tricks that I do. Yeah, so I'm super excited. That's where we're headed. And hopefully, if you like, if you want to watch, watch an interview, go over to the Table Rush Master Class YouTube channel, the link will be in this episode. Where there we go. Now I've given myself a hard stop date or a hard start date. What is that? And if you want to hear my daily musings will just stay on listening to the podcast, and by all means do both. Alright. Believe I've covered everything. Love to all. Thank you for listening

First a quick pitch for you to BUY the SHURE MV88 MIC!  And then the rest of the story of Waylon and his homework.  That was hitting bottom for me with my remaining bits of anger.  I couldn’t yell at him anymore over homework.  If I lost that edge, how was I going to be able to have success at work?  I leaned on that aggressive side.  It’s all a bit melodramatic.

So I’ve had the epiphany that telling certain types of stories will attract a certain audience.  In this case I’m thinking strictly men or women.  So I give it a go and dig into my repertoire of man-centric stories laced with adventure, risk, accidents, and stitches!  To test the theory and see if they attract a more male audience.  The good news, being a clumsy A type adrenaline junky…  I have stacks of them.  I offer up just a few recent ones.
