Extraneous Details Kill Attention

2023/08/31

It's continuous improvement. That's the objective. The thing being improved? Storytelling. It really boils down to all communication. I wrote down the title of today's show in a little notebook years ago. I was thinking about this podcast and the craft of podcasting. I've purchased and read many books on storytelling. Exceptional storytellers are rare. Most people are guilty of today's title - filling their story with unnecessary (extraneous) details that don't contribute to the story at

How Rich Are You?

Luke chapter 12 13 And one out of the multitude said unto him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me. 14 But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 and he reasoned within himself, saying,

How Do You Stack Up Financially?

2023/07/27

Finances are a big deal. The smaller your income, the bigger the deal. ;) Let's talk about a few important things: • The 3 steps to financial "know-how" = 1) know where you are, 2) know where you want to go and 3) figure out how to get there • The power of comparing ourselves against one another (it's a negative power) • A heavy dose of commentary along the way (and humor, too) Please tell a friend about the podcast! • Join our private Facebook group • Email me Help Me Reach My $1,000 Goal I

What Is Your Stuff Costing You?

Matt D'Avella is a minimalist. He's also a photographer and film maker. He directed the documentary, MINIMALISM featuring The Minimalists, described in Wikipedia as "The Minimalists are American authors, podcasters, filmmakers, and public speakers Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, who promote a minimalist lifestyle." My first exposure to this notion of minimalism was reading a blog by Leo Babauta, Zen Habits. I was reading Leo's stuff about productivity. He was living in Guam with wife

Spending, Saving & Investing: The Tale of Two Houses

2023/07/13

Back in May I published a podcast episode entitled Spending Control: How's That Working Out For You? A recent move required all kinds of seemingly extraneous spending. Okay, maybe not extraneous, but aggravatingly excessive from what I wanted. There's moving, truck rentals, fuel, boxes, landscaping, appliances, window coverings, blah, blah, blah. Well, I'm currently embarking on getting The Yellow Studio version 4.0 assembled. And with two residences there are just some costs that can't be helped,

The Time To Repair The Roof Is When The Sun Is Shining

“The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.” – John F. Kennedy Any fool can wish, but the wise plan. “It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.” – Eleanor Roosevelt “Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.” – Peter F. Drucker “Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” – Warren Buffett Today's show was sparked by yet another online article about retirement 'cause I get inundated with them.

Geoffrey (my dad) and me I wrote down the title of today's episode on November 22, 2014 at 11:31pm. But that was then, this is now. It's getting hot here in Dallas. About a week away from Thanksgiving in 2014. The beginning of the holiday season. Here in America the annual "holiday season" kicks off, literally on Thanksgiving week. Families will gather around big tables filled with all the usual high-calorie foods, including one appropriately named, "stuffing." And we will stuff. Here in

Clayton M. Christensen died back in 2020. He was a 67-year-old Harvard Business School professor and management guru. He authored books, “The Innovator’s Dilemma” and “How Will You Measure Your Life?" Clayton had leukemia. The title of today's show was taken from a Wall Street Journal article about him. He was a man of faith, a Morman. While attending Oxford University, where he also played basketball, he refused to play in a championship basketball game (he was 6' 8"). Wrote Clayton, “Had I

Does Anybody Do What They Say?

I'm biased. In favor of superior customer service. I'm fanatical about it. Always have been. I've spent my professional life operating retailing companies so delivering extraordinary customer experiences has been a top priority for me. And I know a secret - it's not that hard once you make up your mind to deliver it. The problem is very few companies or professionals have made up their mind that they'll excel at it.

Making People Feel Something

2023/06/01

I cry every day. I laugh out loud every day. Until or unless we feel something...nothing changes. Feelings can drive our actions and behaviors. I've never known a person embark on growth or self-improvement until they first felt something that compelled a change. What are you trying to help people feel? What feelings do you hope you're provoking others to have toward you? Please tell a friend about the podcast! • Join our private Facebook group • Email me

Spending Control: How’s That Working Out For You?

2023/05/25

PNC.com has these 10 recommendations in a post entitled, How To Stop Spending Money. Create a budget. Visualize what you're saving for. Always shop with a list. Nix the brand names. Master meal prep. Consider cash for in-store shopping. Remove temptation. Hit "pause." Think reusable. Keep at it! There are probably millions of lists like this. Some are just as profound as this one. ;) I intentionally used the phrase "spending control." It's impossible to stop spending money

I'm blitzed with online articles about health, wellness, retirement, insurance and other things befitting an old guy. After all, I AM an old guy. Some days ago I saw an article that prompted today's show. It was yet another article about retiring happy. A man working to prepare for his eventual retirement asked his financial planner for examples of people who were happy in retirement. At the crux of the matter is self-discipline. Retirement success is largely about how well people can deprive

What Will People Remember When You’re Gone?

2023/05/11

Will people mourn? Or throw a party? Will we have regrets about how we spent our time with others...when they're gone? Stanley was my lifelong best friend. He died on Sunday May 12, 2013. It'll be 10 years tomorrow. Ten years that I've been on the planet without him. I remember him fondly. If I had died first, I'm certain he'd be missing me, too. And I know he'd have remembered me fondly. Not all relationships work that way though. Sadly. Please tell a friend about the podcast! • Join our

1989. I was being courted by a business owner looking for new, fresh leadership. The business was located where Rhonda and I most wanted to be, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas. The kids were in elementary school. Early elementary school. Life had been hectic for the previous 3 years. Situations had changed that were beyond our control - things that we didn't feel were favorable for training and raising our children. So, we took our aim for Texas - DFW. It was Rhonda's home and we were familiar with
