Transcript [00:00:00] John: You're always swimming in a cultural conversation. What is the highest and best that you can swim in? With the, in my case, I do something different every day of the week. I have a different idea or inquiry for every single day of the week.
[00:00:17] John: And then I have a different scene. And then I have a different practice, which is a virtue and Wednesday, tomorrow the theme is going to be passion and the practice is going to be justice, but the question is going to be what is my highest aim. So what's going to be in the background all day long tomorrow for me is I wake up and I wake up into, what day is this Wednesday?
[00:00:42] John: Oh, what is my highest state? And that today is about passion, passions of discovery. It's not something that the world owes me. It's something that I have to unfold. And and then the virtue that goes along with that is justice.
[00:01:06] John: Yeah, rub it in your hair.
[00:01:13] John: They done a, bait in the virtue bathe and the practice bathe and the theme babe, in the, whatever it is that you have designed that is your ecology for like today. Today is a day that's organized around relationship and the, and for me and did the and the virtue is one of temperance.
[00:01:42] John: That goes with relationship because there's, while there's nothing more fulfilling, there's also nothing more annoying than ongoingly being in relationship and having to adjust and having to allow for and everything. So temperance is a very powerful thing. And then of course, the question of the day on Tuesdays and so where my partners, so it all goes together.
[00:02:08] John: So have you basically crafted like the hierarchy of learning into almost a model for creating your week? Yeah. I call it my weekly. And every single day, seven days a week, I have a question or an inquiry that is in the background and then something that is a theme. That'd be the distinction actually.
[00:02:32] John: And something that is a practice. That's the virtue. The idea being practice, the practice of virtue creates character and character on film unfolds destiny. So if I do this long enough and I do this consciously enough, over the period of a year, I will have done the same set of virtues 52 times the same set of practices, 52 times that same inquiry, 52 times, and I'll start getting better at, as I go along and it begins to in a very, it starts to adjust my my access to all that stuff.
[00:03:22] John: That was points one and 0.2. The part about the college of your, the environment of what you're into, it just begins to. Have a huge influence on what that is now. Why is that important for a leader? Because generally speaking, we're living in a reactive world, things happen, we react to it. Things happen.
[00:03:44] John: We react we live what is called a throne life. We, something happens, we're thrown in a certain way, but leadership is a particular design kind of conversation. It's a particular kind of conversation that is a life given by design. So if it's going to be a life given by design, at least it seems to me it's going to be a life that's given by design.
[00:04:11] John: Then every single day, I should have some kind of inquiry that is empowering me being in the question of all day long, some sort of distinction that is in the background as of a practice of virtue like that. And over time that will, if I surrender myself to that, I don't try and improve it.
[00:04:33] John: I don't try and fix it, but I just go this is useful for me. You do it, if you happen to be a Jewish and you're Orthodox, you take a look at what it is, what there is at the. And you practice, what you learned in the Torah. If you happen to be Christian, you've got the commandments, you've got the basic fundamentals of it.
[00:04:57] John: If you happen to be a Muslim, there are all of those verses of the Koran that get up underneath you and help you and remind you to be who you are, and really are reminding you to be the best human being that you can be. So this is just another version of that, it's just another way of getting at it.
[00:05:20] John: There's a lot of ways to get to happen. And I'm just making the case for that this particular leadership path. That's been one way. Yeah. My synopsis are just firing off as you're speaking. And I'm like, cause I love the way you frame it and I'm hearing from myself, some virtues for me are laughter and wonder beauty and I would say relationship, but gratitude from a space of gratitude.
[00:05:46] John: And it's know some of those things are things that light me up and just move me to the wonder, like that's someone, Dylan, Bob, Dylan always brings me to. So like the other day I was really lost, not grounded. What what is the answer? What do I do? was talking to my triad, talking to Eric and like dealing with the breakdown and.
[00:06:04] John: And it was like one looking for the answer. And then it was like always Dylan always bringing me back to the question. And so that's wonder for me. Yeah. That's remarkable and really smart or be thrown all day long and have no value. And okay, maybe tomorrow it'll be better and you wake up or you actually go to that, which sources you in your case, Dylan, that which sources you to be your highest and best.
[00:06:35] John: Yeah. Just really great. We all have to find our own way. Yeah. Yeah. Dylan or Guthrie will just bring me right
[00:06:43] Eric: back to
[00:06:44] John: greater than me. Yeah. Yeah. They're up to something, that's really, what triads are about is the, up to something bigger than you.
[00:06:54] John: Yeah. Somebody once said to me, they were describing me to another person, but I overheard them when I went. It was when I was on staff at landmark. Yeah. And cause I was always taking on things that were just too big. And the person said, I think it's the, actually the all-time greatest compliment I ever got back.
[00:07:18] John: He said, John loves to work on projects, worth failing.
[00:07:22] John: That's what your life is your pride and your life is a noble project where it's failing at and you will fail.
[00:07:32] Eric: I need
[00:07:33] John: to hear that. Thank you.
[00:07:37] John: Look what those young people are doing in Carlos, they're taking on something that's bigger than them and they may fail at it, but they're actually revolutionizing some sort of access to education and who's going to benefit or their children.
[00:07:57] John: Wow. Can you just go over those things, the daily things again, in order with pure inquiry, distinction practice. Yeah. There's an inquiry, which is always a question that has no answer. And then there is a, what I call a theme. That's really the distinction, but it's really the theme.
[00:08:18] John: Are
[00:08:18] John: you? Left-handed there? I am. All right. We're taking over, so there's a scene and then there's a practice, but the practices of. When you get that the definition of virtue is the practice of the habit of choosing the main between the too much and too little in the matter of your actions and in the matter of your emotions.
[00:08:42] John: So it's a virtue of PR, but we call it a practice so that it's easily accessible for everybody. And there's one for every day. So if you start on Sunday, because Sunday is the beginning of the week, Sunday, the inquiry is the word why, and Sunday, the theme of Sunday is designed. So you look out into your week and you design, but your week is going to be like to whatever degree that you do.
[00:09:14] John: You can look out and you can see I've got something going on here on Tuesday. It's something going on here on Thursday. And I dunno, what's in between, and you spend the day design and the virtue is called inspiration. The word inspire is an interesting word, but it means it is filled with the breath of God.
[00:09:34] John: So you allow yourself to be filled with the breath of God, and then you designed from there. And then you question the design with the question. Why? So that's my Sunday Monday for me is about. So the question on Monday is going to be, who am I? The theme is health and the virtue or the practice is one of courage.
[00:10:10] John: It takes a lot of courage to be true to yourself in the matters of your own health, in the mental and physical and spiritual and psychological and physiological part of who you are to actually maintain your integrity. That takes a lot. It takes a lot and it takes courage. It's not bravery, but courage has as the root the word curse, you are, which is a French word for heart.
[00:10:39] John: So it takes heart to be healthy. So Tuesday Tuesday, the question is who are my partners? And the theme on Tuesday is relationship. It doesn't matter what you're doing in life, you're in the relationship business. And once you get past your question of who am I. The next question is to where my partners and it's all about relationship.
[00:11:13] John: And the practice since relationships are so annoying is one of temperance.
[00:11:22] John: And then Wednesday, the question is what is my highest thing? That's what I, that's where you want to be inspired. So the theme is passion and the virtue is justice.
[00:11:37] John: And then Thursday is the question is what are we building now that you've gotten, who am I, who are my partners? What is my highest stain now? It's what are we building? And you could add the word together. What are we building? And the the question, that's the question for the day and the theme for the day is discovery.
[00:12:05] John: And what goes along with discovery is intuition. So you're actually empowering a way of being in life on Thursdays of being in life, discovering, not knowing, not trying to figure it out, but allowing it to come to you inside of a conversation called what are we doing? And then on Friday, the conversation the inquiry is who do we touch?
[00:12:35] John: So we've gone through Monday, we've gone from who am I, who are my partners, then what is my highest stain? What are we building together to who do I on Friday who do we touch? And that is a conversation that is about a contribution. And the contribution conversation is enriched by, your service and so on.
[00:13:04] John: And you're really looking at crude. In other words, doing it in a measured and intelligent way that the Saturday you complete your way wait, gonna in the completed the week, the theme is completion. The question is, what difference did it make? So you look back on your week and you look back to see what difference did it make its completion.
[00:13:32] John: And the virtue that you're practicing is one of reflection. So you start the week with design and you end the week with completion, and then you live your week. And those five days that you live Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, the theme for each one of those being health relation, passion, discovery, and contribution are the five pillars of of a school of art called minimalism.
[00:14:03] John: So ultimately it's about living your life as a work of art
[00:14:10] John: and what you're doing is designing it. And then you start over again on Sunday. So on Saturday is what difference did it make in compassion? And what was the third?
[00:14:23] John: Did I miss the second one? No. What difference? What difference did it make? That's the week you're looking at the rate and the theme is completion. Yeah. You're completing your week and you're completing it inside of an inquiry called what difference did it make you remember? You started off with why?
[00:14:43] John: Yeah. Now you're answering that question. You worked the whole week and you've grown the whole week and now you take a look and then you complete and you complete with what difference does it make? And the virtue that you practice in that is one of reflection.
[00:15:05] John: So it's a. I might need compassion. I wrote down compassion and I thought, Wendy,
[00:15:13] Eric: This will all be emailed to you. Awesome. So this is amazing. One of the things we're going to do, so just we'd do our daily boxes. You have your trying to call. Yeah,
[00:15:27] John: this is not as stage one, two or three conversation.
[00:15:29] John: This is the stage four. It starts at stage four, because you're just not in a place to sustain this conversation authentically and stage two or three, you're struggling, and you're struggling to survive and living your life as a work of art is something to do that goes beyond survival.
[00:15:49] John: So you actually have to design yourself into this conversation rather than being thrown into this conversation. So stage two and three, your throne, and then stage four, you actually design what you're going to do. And one of the ways you can design for yourself and that you can support each other in triads.
[00:16:09] John: And so I'm like, that is one of the tools, just like the daily boxes. One of the tools is this what I call the weekly.
[00:16:18] Eric: So we'll have that in an email to you. And then just as we do the triad practice and the deli boxes practice, this is going to be an additional practice that we take on that gets behind everything else we're doing in here.
[00:16:32] Eric: There's a method to the madness. This is not a conversation we have on week one because you remember, I don't know what a week, maybe three or four, I slowly planted that seed and introduced what was to come here, but slowly introduced that, living your life as a work of art.
[00:16:48] Eric: Now, do you remember what happened after I brought that up? Do you remember the initial reaction who remembers it? The class got a little bit thrown when I brought that up. You guys remember that? No. The first reaction was Shay goes, so you mean drinking waters or work apart
[00:17:10] John: coming
[00:17:11] Eric: back to you, Kevin.
[00:17:14] John: I do remember that
[00:17:15] Eric: now. So now that we've been living inside these spaces of the cultural map.
[00:17:20] John: Interesting. That's interesting. That's a, that's an interesting level of cynicism. Yeah, really interesting. Yeah,
[00:17:33] Eric: but you can all hear the spaces now. So this is a conversation not for week one or two, but a conversation for week 13.
[00:17:46] John: It's an unfolding. It is it's, it's an ongoing unfolding. I really have to say I I have an admiration for you to say, okay, you know what, I'm going to actually take some formal time out of my week and lean into this conversation, consciously on a weekly basis. And then you'll go away and you'll do your week.
[00:18:04] John: But as time goes on it has to impact you and it has to impact you at the inner level. This is a tribal leadership is an inside out kind of process. And so you're really literally working on yourself, spiritual. Yeah.
[00:18:27] John: That's why it's easy to get cynical about. Is there so many, it's like, there's no way to get to,
[00:18:40] John: there's a place to come from and that's what people don't get about leadership. They get. We have a point of view, that leadership is somewhere where we get to that. And we come in someday. Somehow we're a leader. Instead of that, what you're doing is you're coming from your highest and best inner spiritual self.
[00:19:04] John: And that's where your leadership is grounded. And it's distinct to you. That Wendy's space of that is harmonizes with resonates with someone else's, but it is purely Wendy's. It's purely, Carlos's purely Kevin's. And so it's really, that's why we asked the question on Monday of who am I,
[00:19:43] John: it's a motherfucker.
[00:19:55] John: Beautiful.
[00:19:58] Eric: You all excited to take that on for the rest of this program?
[00:20:08] John: This is why we call it what you call your program, but I would call it a dialogue. It takes everybody's conversation to make it happen. And it's different every week. And you're a different human being every week. And, tribal leadership is just a name I made up, but there is something tribal and there is something regarding leadership about it.
[00:20:33] John: So it does seem to go well together, but there's nothing sacred about that when you should just call it top of the cake, yeah. It was, yeah. It's something to rub in your hair,
[00:20:49] Eric: the shampoo who would like to that's our next offering. Wait, just wait. Who would like to read number four of a chocolate cake that you're rubbing your
[00:20:57] John: hair formerly known prevalent? For sure.

Summary This was a live podcast I recorded and published the same day regarding how when we take on games in the world that other people aren't playing, or outside people's boxes of awareness, we often get the wrong social feedback loops in the short term. Being mindful of what to expect allows us to stay on course. Listen to the show to get a deeper insight into this phenomenon.

Be cautious of women who has a history of dating lots of low quality men.
While they may complain about them. Deep down they likes low quality men.
If you’re a high quality man, she won’t be able to recognize it, and, she won’t be satisfied until you stoop down to her level / baseline of awareness that she’s used to.
As sad as it is, it’s not your job to save her from that low level energy black hole.
So set the conditions, see who shows up to the party. In this case, only take on high value behavior and 99 times out of 100 she will find a reason to remove herself from your life.
It’s the same principle behind if you want to hire someone who will get shit done, hire a busy person.
If you want to date a high quality woman, chances are, the vast majority of her ex boyfriends are all extraordinary human beings.

Summary Eric Schleien narrates the introduction for his book, "Principles of Power: The Art & Wisdom of Badassery" as part of his podcast audio series.
About Principles Of Power "Principles of Power can be related to as an advanced Coaching Handbook for Leaders. If you are a leader, an aspiring leader, a coach, consultant, or program facilitator, this book is designed for you. The material is delivered inside of a modern leadership context of service and contribution. Eric features many partnerships in Principles of Power. His inclusion of useful quotes from Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Werner Erhard, Nassim Taleb, Seth Godin, and many other leaders attests to the thinking and the research that went into the writing of this book. It is now undeniable that the understanding and implementation of powerful Listening, authentic Relationship, and a recognizable Permission to Lead, are cardinal distinctions of effective leadership. The word, ’cardinal’ has a Latin root and means ‘hinge’ – like a hinge on a gate. So, like a hinge, cardinal distinctions are connected to every nuance of leadership. You will see these distinctions in action in the background of Eric’s many leadership conversations. Authentic Relationship, for example, is essential to the effectiveness and empowerment of the participants and the leader. If authentic Relationship is missing, any outcome or result devolves to the result of domination or force, and is not an outcome of effective leadership. Consider this: Leadership is granted by the permission of those being led. Take a moment and allow that to sink in. The job of the leader is that of an environmentalist, providing the space for people to collaborate, flourish, and create. These two different activities, management and leadership are often commingled, especially in business schools and in the workplace. They are distinct and operate under different rules and measures. It’s like Checkers and Chess – Same game board, different games with different rules and outcomes. Disentangling and distinguishing the two arenas of activity grants power to both managers and leaders. So, the fundamental exercise of listening for people’s greatness is in the background of every sentence in this book. And there is much more…Principles of Power is strongly influenced by the transformational work of Werner Erhard. Much of the author’s thinking is also grounded in the classic distinctions of Tribal Leadership and the thinking of Warren Buffett and his partner, Charlie Munger. Those, plus Eric’s own extensive practical experience renders Principles of Power to be an extremely useful ‘go-to’ resource, filled with useful, implementable information, sprinkled liberally with memorable quotations from intelligent diverse sources – all apt and worth adding to YOUR leadership lexicon." - John King, co-author of Tribal Leadership

Summary Today, Eric Schleien sits down with his guest, chief operations officer of Viral Ideas, Zach Medina. In this episode, they talk about the need to get into the 3D digital market, the skills and equipment required for VR and Augmented Reality, and the potential innovations to come out of them.
Zach also discusses how businesses and the academe should invest in computers and other technological advances. He believes that companies have to get with the times and plan for the future if they want to survive. Take online classes, for instance. They no longer have to be just a zoom call with a teacher. Schools should aim for more interactive online courses to keep their students interested in learning at all. Time and time again, technology has proven to be a great learning tool for students, and it is about time schools caught on.
Tune in to Eric and Zach’s discussion on why people are often afraid of technological advances and how it relates to why humanity is not innovating as much as it could. The two debate whether artificial intelligence is capable of creativity and whether advancing them would benefit or threaten humankind. Zach believes that people are wasting their potential to innovate even further, hence why, in Viral Ideas, they aim to play a role in the 3D market in hopes of advancing humanity even further.
About Zach Medina Zach Medina is the chief operations officer of Viral Ideas Marketing. The company provides a scalable way to produce content through its corporate video solutions, including corporate video production, on-demand video editing, and in-house video training. He also co-founded the on-demand video editing service, Flixation, making it easy for clients to spread their message.
Before Viral Ideas and Flixation, Zach was the owner of Philadelphia App Solutions and Shockwavez Entertainment. He also volunteered at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. This 501 non-profit organization helped children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships with volunteer mentors. Mr. Medina graduated with a degree in Business Administration (BA), Management and Marketing, at the Penn State University.
Show Notes * [04:56] What Zach has been up to and what Viral Ideas Marketing’s current projects are. * [07:18] Getting into the 3D market and testing the waters in VR and Augmented Reality. * [09:28] How investing in computers and other technological advances are the future of education and businesses. * [13:18] Where Zach sees his company in playing a role in the new future of education. * [16:02] How he ended up joining forces with David Feinman to create Viral Ideas. * [17:45] Why restaurants and other food businesses should invest in online marketing. * [21:20] The most significant lesson Zach learned throughout his career and how he and David compliment each other. * [26:29] The skills and equipment required in 3D and VR experiences and how long until it becomes the norm. * [30:00] Why technological advances often scare us and how it relates to our “survival” brain. * [34:54] The design factor of VR and Augmented Reality experiences and the potential innovations to come out of it. * [39:45] Debating over whether AI’s are capable of “creativity” and whether computers are our partners or competition. * [44:14] How humanity is wasting its potential to innovate even further and what we can do to change that.

Summary In today's episode, Eric Schleien sits down with interview guest, writer, and registered yoga teacher Lara Hocheiser. They talk about the need for gender conversations, the concept of Sushumna Nadi, the relation between political identity and people’s reality, and Lara’s experience as a transformational coach.
In this episode, Lara also emphasizes inclusivity and how the privileged can and should support the marginalized by changing the system along with them. While being married to a trans woman, she saw with her own eyes how trans people often struggled through the years and how important it is for them to be comfortable in their skin and share their experiences. Hence, Lara advocates for other cis-gendered people to support the trans community by bringing them from the margins into the majority, hearing them out when no one else will, and giving them a chance to speak when they can.
As you listen further, tune in to Eric and Lara’s discussion about the different realities people face and how it affects their political identity. For Lara, we need to facilitate an environment where people can see what their capable of, be proud of it, and help others do the same. She also believes that through sharing our experiences, we bridge the different realities we all experience, come to an understanding and take a stand for each other.
About Lara Hocheiser Lara Hocheiser is the founder of Flow and Grow Kids Yoga, a registered children’s yoga school which aims to instill lifelong healthy habits in children. Lara has worked in the early childhood education sector for 19 years. She began her career as a Spanish Immersion teacher, and during that time, she integrated yoga, social-emotional learning, and mindfulness into circle time.
Now, Lara has over 15 years of experience studying, teaching, and living the yoga path. She has also taught more than 9,000 hours of early childhood yoga and mindfulness classes to date. She continues to speak at university early childhood education departments.
After receiving certification as a Registered Yoga Teacher, she started her own business, Flow and Grow Kids Yoga. She even garnered notoriety for her training programs, professional development, and student programming, offered globally and virtually. Now, Lara has trained more than 300 people in the career track of children’s yoga and mindfulness. She has also worked with hundreds of educators, parents, and mental health professionals.

Summary In today's episode, Eric Schleien sits down with interview guest and organizational culture expert John King. They talk about the systems and culture in workplaces, the types of personalities and communities, and his experience of teaching leadership to a generation of exceptional young leaders in Central Eurasia.
In this episode, John highlights former Tony Hsieh's sociability and genius that contributed to the whole legacy of Zappos. In Tony's lifetime, he was recognized for the impact that the company made on the community and the tribe he cultivated within their work environment. As an expert, John prizes Tony's ability to drive people to want to be around through acknowledgment and care – something visibly lacking in most brick and mortar companies that hang on to authority to found hierarchy and work system.
As you listen further, tune in to Eric and John's discussion about tolerance and appreciation towards varying points of view and how the whole cancel and soundbite culture plays in with everyone's roles on a government and individual level. For John, If you book somebody and want to hear what they want to say but have to get it in 20 or 30 minutes, it's just all going to be soundbites. It's going to be personality-driven. What is then taken out of that 20 minutes will make the case that one is this and one is that and everything else controversial.
About John King John is in demand as a keynote speaker and is nationally recognized as a senior teacher, coach, and program leader. Clients of John's coaching practice have been featured on all major television networks and in The Wall Street Journal.
John is part of the leadership development team at Sierra Health Foundation and is on faculty at Collier's University, CB Richard Ellis University, and The California Leadership Institute. John is also a frequent guest lecturer in the Marshall School of Business and the School of Public Policy, Planning, and Development at USC.

Summary Eric Schleien narrates the introduction for his book, "Principles of Power: The Art & Wisdom of Badassery" as part of his podcast audio series.
About Principles Of Power "Principles of Power can be related to as an advanced Coaching Handbook for Leaders. If you are a leader, an aspiring leader, a coach, consultant, or program facilitator, this book is designed for you. The material is delivered inside of a modern leadership context of service and contribution. Eric features many partnerships in Principles of Power. His inclusion of useful quotes from Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Werner Erhard, Nassim Taleb, Seth Godin, and many other leaders attests to the thinking and the research that went into the writing of this book. It is now undeniable that the understanding and implementation of powerful Listening, authentic Relationship, and a recognizable Permission to Lead, are cardinal distinctions of effective leadership. The word, ’cardinal’ has a Latin root and means ‘hinge’ – like a hinge on a gate. So, like a hinge, cardinal distinctions are connected to every nuance of leadership. You will see these distinctions in action in the background of Eric’s many leadership conversations. Authentic Relationship, for example, is essential to the effectiveness and empowerment of the participants and the leader. If authentic Relationship is missing, any outcome or result devolves to the result of domination or force, and is not an outcome of effective leadership. Consider this: Leadership is granted by the permission of those being led. Take a moment and allow that to sink in. The job of the leader is that of an environmentalist, providing the space for people to collaborate, flourish, and create. These two different activities, management and leadership are often commingled, especially in business schools and in the workplace. They are distinct and operate under different rules and measures. It’s like Checkers and Chess – Same game board, different games with different rules and outcomes. Disentangling and distinguishing the two arenas of activity grants power to both managers and leaders. So, the fundamental exercise of listening for people’s greatness is in the background of every sentence in this book. And there is much more…Principles of Power is strongly influenced by the transformational work of Werner Erhard. Much of the author’s thinking is also grounded in the classic distinctions of Tribal Leadership and the thinking of Warren Buffett and his partner, Charlie Munger. Those, plus Eric’s own extensive practical experience renders Principles of Power to be an extremely useful ‘go-to’ resource, filled with useful, implementable information, sprinkled liberally with memorable quotations from intelligent diverse sources – all apt and worth adding to YOUR leadership lexicon." - John King, co-author of Tribal Leadership

In today's episode, Eric Schleien sits down with guest Mollie McGlocklin, the creator of the company Sleep Is A Skill. They'll be talking everything about sleep, the parts of a modern-day lifestyle that damage sleep, and all the natural contributing elements of our body that help understand our accountability to our own sleeping behavior, and plenty more.
By learning how to solve her own problems with sleep, Mollie talks about one facet of the approach needed for better sleep that includes our glucose levels, manners of eating and sleeping, and the sun that, unknown to many, affects our body's circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythm is the sleep-wake cycle and repeats on each rotation of the Earth roughly every 24 hours.
As you tune in deeper, listen to what Mollie explains about chronobiology, blue and red light exposure, sleep technologies, the ample amount of accessible resources from her Sleep Is A Skill site, and the easy as cake habit changes that she suggests everyone try in order to better address sleep deprivation with little to zero cost and effort.
About Mollie McGlocklin:
Mollie McGlocklin is the creator of Sleep Is A Skill, a company that optimizes people's sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. The company was born from "scratching her own itch" after a lifetime of poor sleep habits culminated into a mega-challenging bout of insomnia for months without end.
With a background in behavioral change, she went down the rabbit hole to solve her sleep disturbances without sleeping aids. She became fascinated with chronobiology, and by extension, its practical applications to restore a state of homeostasis not only to her sleep but also to her life as a whole. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without, she's now dedicated her life to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep.
Outline of the episode:
- [04:59] "It started by solving my own problem."
- [06:53] On Mollie's Monday Obsession and the process of approaching her sleep issue.
- [10:02] Glucose and its circadian rhythm.
- [13:38] It's weird – what is mouth taping?
- [22:42] Blue light amount from common day devices.
- [23:26] On the other hand, Red light…
- [26:26] The cue of the sun and its temperature to you and your sleep.
- [29:33] Sleep 2020: Bright days, dark nights.
- [31:55] A 2016 study by the WHO important in understanding sleep patterns.
- [33:28] Basic takeaways for better sleep.

Join Eric Schleien with his guest Kyra King as they talk about building chained links with people and the essence of triading that has something similar to chess. To successfully initiate a triad, it is oftentimes more about what you should not do than what you need to do.

I sit down with Jeff Willmore who has led transformational programs for over 23 years to over 80,000 people all over the world. He's worked with Olympic and professional athletes, Navy Seal and Special Forces members, top executives from all fields, Oscar winning actors, Grammy Award winning musicians – he's trained with the best and worked with the best! He owes much of his development, abilities and skills to the extensive training and development he got in transformational methodologies at Landmark Worldwide – very likely the top, personal transformational coaching faculty in the world.
He was lucky enough to be born into a life where he was destined to live a life where he had a fair amount of success and achievement (close family, college degree, successful entrepreneur and getting “more” successful, etc.) and yet he fell into the trap that the “Time = Money” worldview and illusion creates for all of us: he worked too much, he didn’t take time for his family and friends (and other values that were important to him), and seemed to spend a lot of his energy and life fighting to overcome his own limitations (the belief that I’m not a ‘people’ person, self-doubt, I don’t need anyone, a deep fear of speaking in front of people, wanting to be liked, and so on). He realized how much he sacrificed in order to have “success.”
In his own transformative process and journey, he discovered for himself great achievement and accomplishment and how to help others attain it as well. Not just in one area – but in a life. He knows how to teach and coach others to accomplish their professional dreams, their vision, their business goals while at the same time really living – travel, building wealth, family-time, taking care of your health, and living a life of contribution.
He helps extraordinary people who are already performers or top performers leap to the next level and fulfill their vision by learning to see themselves, the marketplace and the world differently. They learn to act as a leader in the marketplace and in their life.
He has worked on the principles behind The Entrepreneurship, Accomplishment & Autonomy Course for the last 10 years. He designed the course using the latest research in cognitive science (How do we know what we know? How do we learn?), behavioral economics and biology. The unique structure and methodology deliberately steps away from the “tips and techniques” kind of education that betrays top performance and adulthood and instead, allows you to embody the advanced knowledge of a market leader and allows you to design leading edge practices based on your own original thinking.
