Part 1 | 00:00:00 - 00:24:39 | Importance of Network
Part 2 | 00:24:39 - 00:35:08 | Leaving the legacy media, still (barely) watching sports
PART 1
The importance of where you place your attention and focus when going through challenging times.
Keeping chipping away at the things you know you need to be chipping away at.
Not getting complacent when things are going well, and not getting bogged down in the negative when things aren't going as expected.
Avoiding victim mentality - focussing and celebrating what IS going well - even in trying times.
Persevering with things starting TODAY, focussing on what you CAN change - rather than constantly re-living painful memories.
The fact we all have an inherent strength to get through difficult times in our lives.
Remembering your principles and continuing on your path despite what might be happening or not happening today.
The importance of building strong, meaningful relationships, and establishing your network.
Find ways to help the people around you. Cultivate the give and take of support and care from friends, partners, peers, colleagues - especially during trying times.
Reflecting on the gratitude feeling that followed receiving a lovely, thoughtful gift from a close friend that was serendipituously timely.
The concept we keep going back to on this show; how the universe gives you breadcrumbs to keep you going in the right direction.
The importance of storage and file management when creating content, especially video content.
PART 2
The concept of blue pilling at times - even after taking the red pill. Finding meaning in hobbies and sports that keep you going in this life.
Giving up on absorbing 'the news' from the legacy media almost 5 years ago - and just how difficult it is to watch even a few minutes since leaving the legacy media behind.
How the 'breaking news' 'clickbait' and constant negativity affects us in our daily lives - filling millions of people with worry and anxiety every day. And just how much more positive and simpler life is without it.
This is a completely free plug for an excellent book by a fantastic author - The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris. This book changed the way I looked at my life, my career, my time - and is a big reason why I am doing the things I am doing today, living a life based in meaning and not wasting my time doing things I don't want to be doing. If you want to maximise your time and resources, and think about your life in a much more constructive, forward-thinking way, do yourself a favour and give this book a read!
