Key test ahead on federal debt deal that could prevent a disastrous default
"Hard right conservatives are blasting House speaker Kevin McCarthy for the budget deal he reached with President Biden, put simply the house freedom caucus is not happy. This deal fails. It is a bad deal. It's defies conservatism. One of the biggest abominations since I've been in Washington D.C.. Not one Republican should vote for this deal. From chairman Scott Perry down, freedom caucus members say the deal does not enact the deep spending cuts they want, accusing McCarthy of fracturing the GOP by giving in to Democrat demands. Texas chip Roy and others say they'll work to block the deal. And no matter what happens, there's going to be a reckoning about what just occurred unless we stop this bill by tomorrow.

"There's an old parable where a grandparent says to their grandchild, in life, there are two wolves at battle within us. One is a good wolf, which represents things like kindness and bravery and love. And the other is a bad wolf, which represents things like greed and hatred and fear. The child paused before looking up and asking. Well, which one wins? The grandparent answered? The one you feed. I'm Eric Zimmer, 25 years ago, I was a homeless heroin addict. When I first heard this parable and recovery, it changed the way I approached my entire life. Darkness is actually a beautiful teacher and usually is the thing that consistently guides us to, oh, this is where we have a wound. This is where we need to heal. And that ends up being this really positive transformative place. Misery is actually our ally because there's energy in there. There's carrying in there. There's motivation in there. Regardless of the progress you've made in life, I believe all of us could benefit from wisdom on handling common problems. The same thing that can, when it's not working right, predisposes to anxiety and depression is the very thing that can bring us to our highest and deepest selves. It helps us grow and helps make life more manageable. With my heart, I know that being kind and being just in compassionate is freedom. I just know it. Which is why on my podcast, the one you feed, I've interviewed over 500 guests, including scientists, authors, researchers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers. There are certain things that we definitely can not change about the human situation, and yet we're incredibly prone to sort of staking our self worth on managing to change them. We'd all love the perfect conditions, but if you wait for them, you will wait and wait and wait and pretty soon. It'll be over. The podcast is connected with over 25 million people and was an Apple podcast of the year award winner and has been a favorite of O magazine. How we look for that space around situations, the possibility that it could be different. It's a very important way of turning away from whatever we're hung up with into the possibility of change. There's a way to be with ourselves that is loving and attentive and still can hold a standard and still can find motivation. And while these conversations have diverged in a number of ways, they all begin with the parable of the two wolves and how it applies to their lives. So we don't separate and say there's these good feelings and good emotions and bad things and bad emotions. Our job is to just wash out the dirt and only focus on the good stuff. It actually includes every part of life even the most difficult stuff. I hope you'll join me on this journey as together, we explore how to feed, your good wolf. Honoring of life really becomes about being clear about what our values are and making those decisions with the commitment to the least harm possible.

One started collection step to spot the differences and then step three temple ties the examples that you can apply them to your life exactly right and i will say about spot. The difference is there's a lot more in the book that we've covered here. There are other techniques you can use to identify the big features identify what stands out and just to give you a taste for some of these in the book. I reverse engineer. Ken robinson's tedtalk. Ken robinson as the most popular tedtalk of all time. And what you find when you reverse engineer. It is that over the course of twenty minutes. He shares a grand total of one. Fact it's got the most popular all times gone viral. And he's got one fact. If i was writing ted talk from scratch. I would assume that. I need to throw in some really crazy persuasive. Facts to get people engaged but in fact what you find you. Reverse engineer his talk he's got grand total of one. What does he do. A lot of. He has a ton of storytelling. He's got a lot of anecdotes and you get that inside not by watching or not by listening by reading the transcript i reverse engineering and looking for the features and the talk against spotting the difference comparing his talk against talks that haven't gone viral. You see where he over representing on anecdotes and under representing on facts. That's what this allows you to do. Is find the key differences identify patterns and utilize that those insights to create something new. I love that. I love that. All right where can people learn more about you. Best place to go to find out more about this book is decoding great. Spoke dot com.

Just because one the the alignment with the one thing and to simplicity of it we all know it feels like to have big goals for ourselves to feel like were meant for more and to not be satisfied with where we are at and it can get frustrating. When you work hard to bridge that gap from where you are and where you think you should be it. It doesn't have to be and part of that is getting out of doing it on your natural abilities. Stop doing it based on how you would naturally approach and start relying on those that have gone before you. Examples of other people are other organizations that have achieved something extraordinary. Reverse engineering how they did it so that you can spot the difference. See what is it that they did differently. What's that difference. That made the difference. And how can i put that into a simple plan that i can then execute in my life or inside our organization based on everything you heard in this conversation. What's the one thing you can do especially by doing it. Everything else would be easier or a necessary. We'd be the type of person who actually pauses the episode and searches for that answer.

Don't do this because they lack a simple process to follow. What is your process. When you're going to reverse engineer something okay. So the first step and this is something that anybody can incorporate into their daily life if you already do this. Congratulations most people. Don't this is something that anybody can do in any field and that is to start a collection and we think about collections we think about physical objects. We think about wide and artwork and books. That definition is far too narrow. What i'm referring to here is collecting examples in your field that stand out and so marketers collect websites. Designers collect logos. Copywriters collect headlines. I can tell you as a writer. I collect powerful stories. I collect good studies. I collect words. That are moving. That i feel it could be impactful later on it. Having that collection allows you to do two things one is. It allows you to visit that collection the next time you need to create something new for inspiration and two is it allows you to compare what's in your collection against what didn't make your collection so it's kind of like playing spot. The difference remember that game. We played his as gets where you'd have to images side by side. You'd look for the discrepancies. Which are looking to do here. By the items in your collection against those that did make it pairing the ordinary against the extraordinary. And in doing that. You can't help but figure out. What are the ingredients that make this unique and it's all about having that mindset of asking yourself what's different here what can i learn from this. How is this create it. How do i apply this to my feeble. And that's what that priceline guy was doing and it sounds like it's what you do is well jeff when you're benchmarking it's all about that mindset but it's not just like don't want to say like mindset from like an attitude change like no there are concrete things you can do. You can create a google doc right now examples that stand out for you. Maybe you're speaker find some presentation dex. Maybe you're a marketer. You write proposals all the time. Collect some proposals that have one create a best of a directory for your company's people can visit those when they want inspiration and then the final step that i wanna share is you can take those examples and you can temple ties them. You could create templates. Ask yourself what are the what are the. What are the ingredients that went into creating this and turn them into questions for yourself. Remember i mentioned before. What's the startling fact. what's the what. What is the question. I wanna raise. What is the literature reviews. That's what started me down this path in academic journal articles. But it's also again. I learned to drive all everything else. I right and this is how in the book and decoding greatness. Reverse engineer classic. Ted talks i reverse engineer world class websites. Show i show you how to do this. By even e- applying additional methodologies that we can get into which involve reverse outlining and quantifying features. There are so many techniques that you can use to apply to any field that it's just remarkable is really going to open your eyes about how hidden patterns are staring in the face. You just need to know where to look. I love the helluva to recap. You really touched on three high level. Twenty percent ideas. I started collection. This by the way was huge for me because i was sitting down to for my time blocks to benchmark something and found myself going. What should i be benchmarking. So we needed to start a collection which i didn't realize that's what we were doing. That's what we did. Second spotting the difference. What are the things that separate the good from the great and third when you spot those trends you actually can temple ties the examples now critically. It's not just about copying somebody else's formula one of things. I talk about in dakota greatness. Is that if you just copy somebody else's formula chances are you will not be successful for two reasons. One is that it's not always simple to replicate someone else's execution for example were to try to copy glide while style and writing. I probably will fail it. Many authors have gone down this path and have not been successful at this because he is so unique in his ability to find moving stories but also to us just incredibly powerful language to bring those stories to life the other element that prevents us firm. Just copy somebody else's formulated being successful. Is that audience expectations shift with time. So what what what accessible for someone else. At one point chances are will not necessarily be successful for you so in the case of glide well he was innovative in the early two thousands if you read a glide williams style today it's gonna feel derivative now. Give the example in the book of the of of the book twilight when twilight. I came out using credibly novel but then there was a flood of young adult books about teenagers. love with vampires and all of them failed spectacularly and it wasn't because they were all terrible books it was because that formula was done people were familiar with. It wasn't surprising anymore. But what was successful is when someone took that formula and evolved a little bit so teenagers in love with vampires. Didn't succeed you know what. Succeeded abraham lincoln vampire fighter all of a sudden that blew up. and so. it's all about finding a pattern. Networks and then evolving it just slightly to make it your own yeah. This was one of the hardest lessons that i learned early on. In this company we started as an online training company and when we benchmarked other online training companies they followed in internet marketing model which there are clear proven methods for that type of an approach. Will you fast forward about a year and a half. And we've looked up realizing we were following the proven model for that industry and it was undermining our brand just because it was proven for the industry did not mean. It was the right fit for our brand. Which is when i realized. Okay having clarity.

"Media is really starting to have an impact on on self esteem especially younger people And the almost to the point of making them somewhat delusional about the world that they live in and other people. So you know it's been linked as said to higher levels of of of you know self esteem along with loneliness envy anxiety depression and narcissism. So why are we so addicted to social media if it causes all of these issues dr wildly. How can we stop it. How can we. What can we do. You know it is so true. We there are a lot of research and more and more every day coming out about how we are affected but people people don't really put the two together they they don't realize that their anxiety and their question is is due to their online usage something lonelier because at first glance it looks like you know the world is out there living this amazing social life which is exactly the opposite of the person that scrolling through social media usually and and that's like to stay on that slippery slope things diety and and those things you mentioned and as i said most of us just don't relate that negative feeling that we're having To the social media usage but we have research that don't like the to. yeah. I mean i You know i just. I think a couple months ago got an instagram on my own personal one. I've only got like nine nine post on there so far. But i did it because i was almost forced to like you have to do it. Social media is so important. You know if you if you're on radio or whatever just just in business. In general social media is important for your advertisers. And all these things that you have to interact interact with if you own a business. But i don't like it. I never have. I was probably one of the last businesses to to get on social media. I fought it for years And so i'm way behind the game and you know what dr wildly don't care. I really don't care. is that a. Is that a bad thing. No absolutely not i. I understand what you're saying. I know when. I wrote my second book to find a as i was looking for a publisher. That was one of the questions. They all wanted like. Do you have a social media platform. Just you're writing a book about Media that it's not helpful though I get what you're saying. But but i think it's really helpful for us to hold on to our our values and what we know into typically that we need. And you know you you can do what i do and have someone else Manager social media if it becomes too much for you. Oh yeah yeah. Yeah no. I have someone but i even feel guilty about having them having to be on social media all the time. I just don't like it. I don't think it's healthy at all a little bit a little bit of something. I guess is okay junior. I'm going to pull you into this. How do you feel about social media. You've got two young daughters like me. Years are a little bit younger but do you like them being on social media and do you see it becoming potentially a a problem in their lives. So i'm kinda split on a two. Because i need social media for what i do as far as work goes But and i. I see that social media like the there is some good things so we do for my daughter's as we have the passwords to all their accounts So we get notifications just like they do if anybody tries to message them With they're not allowed to accept friends unless we see first We just had to put some restrictions on it and and we do check and we randomly check and they know that. So you know that. I think that's just what you have to do as a parent you kind of have to police their pages i. It's kinda hard to to completely take it away. 'cause they'll find a way. I mean kids. I have a friend whose daughter found a way to make fake accounts and they you know they they do things to get around so i i i. I don't wanna like tell them they can't do it but they do know that. I'm watching Your oldest did you thirteen. She just turned thirteen. She's from fourteen fourteen. Okay and minus sixteen going on seventeen and so they're very close in age and it does get more difficult to to manage it or oversee as they get a little older you want them to be more independent. You don't want them clinging to you Because you just want you wanna have confident and independent children so it is a very difficult line to walk. Dr wildly suggest that parents do well. I think is a very important part of parenting now and in this new digital environment that has become paramount in our world so we we need to Be educated on the things that can happen. And we need to educate our children and they need to understand that yes we are going to parent them responsibly. Around this i love the things that junior said that they are doing and there are many at now that you can get you know to monitor what's going on with your kids on social media and to block out offensive Website and whatnot because you we need to be aware there are some stories right now in the media about things going on that started on social media and it's really scary like what for example. Well i this one of the things that what predators how determined you know. Yeah who are who are out there posing as someone completely different than who they actually are and once story out there is of an actual predatory. Was you know pain to the home of a child an underage minor. And you know so. This is really frightening. Yeah it is frightening. You know it's so you know to go back to what we originally What i asked you about you know You know the higher levels of social media being associated with loneliness envy anxiety depression narcissism. What are some of the signs that social media is becoming an issue. Psychologically for not just a child but even an adult how do how do you know that you've you've entered into the danger zone if you will well the that. Social media's becoming a problem is when you know in in in the areas that you mentioned like loneliness and anxiety depression in the You know just like anything. We become addicted to be able to have import questions. Are we able to do without this are we. Okay with introducing balance. How much angst does it caused us to put this down and walk away from it for a while. Those are those are very telltale signs. If if we have a problem. Yeah i don't i think it's getting to the point almost like i don't know like it has with I gotta be very careful what i say here. I don't wanna. I don't want to come come off as i'm judging anyone but you know when when you put your picture out on social media and you've gotten to the point where you must put built around because nobody even knows what you look like really without a filter and there are so many of them That make you look younger. Make you look thinner. Make your you know your skin. Look amazing i mean it goes over basically as a swipe now as i understand it you can it can heighten your cheekbones. Make your lips fuller like change the tone of your skin your hair like all the stuff like why is that even necessary. Have we become a society. That is so shallow that we must see everyone at their best. Always like looking beautiful. Even if they're not really and say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We shouldn't even be at a point in our world where we're even looking at that anymore. But i don't know if that'll ever go away. I mean beauty something that we evaluate since the beginning of time right. Oh yeah but think of the thirty of what you just shared. I mean that that that's so sad. And and thank the pressure that is put on people especially teenagers vaults and what is the message that we are sending our young people with all these filters and whatnot. Yeah well it's it's certainly something that we all need to contemplate especially those that have

Size for female at company was five million and the average deal size for a male at company was twelve million more than double in so there is a clear disparity in access to capital. I think the one of the reasons that there is that disparity is that women especially women of color fall under one of two categories. Either where some sort of a charity quota that people are looking to fill for some like minimal funding pool. That really doesn't really make that much of a difference on your bottom line or two.

Applying to your current business. While i will tell everybody if you have the opportunity to be a professional musician even for a summer it really should be something that you should do.

The bulk of musicians put an incredible amount of work and often find themselves playing in front of either tables or chairs or handful of semi appreciate people and there's so much work involved and i think what it teaches. You teaches you. A number of things one is perseverance. You realize that nothing will be handed to you absolutely nothing. I think a lot of people particularly when you're in high school or university you start to think about the things you deserve and you know you can start thinking about. Oh well when. I get my first job. I'll make fifty thousand dollars a year. I'll buy this car. And but that's not really how life works for most people in being a musician. You learned that again and again and again you realize that you have to fight for a moment of somebody's attention and every bum in a seat you have to earn and i think that that's a fantastic experience for people to go through. So there is that sort of perseverance. The other thing. I think i learned this has been for me personally. Much more valuable. Is you have to learn how to work a room. And i don't mean that that you have to learn how to schmooze walk into a room in yourself for your product or whatever. I mean you have to recognize the situation and you have to react to that situation. And it's a very important skill to have picked up. And i feel like it's really benefited me more than anything else that i've learned in my life. I was just in a bar band and we played across canada. The us for two or three years probably doing one hundred plus games a year. And you've just had to learn the difference between tree planters in thunder bay and heavy metal ores in left bridge. And how were you going to win those two crowds over and sometimes you failed. But like i think any entrepreneur will tell you you learn more from your failures than from your successes and so it was incredibly valuable. Experience seems like a pretty good training ground for becoming a ceo running company dealing with clients with prospects with different people in your workforce. I'm not sure that my high school second trump gave me any any skills going forward but it sounds it. Sounds like yours. The it is interesting to that. We've spoke to someone earlier today. And they gave much the same answer in terms of what it meant for them and and how they use some of those experiences as a musician and moved it towards their business now. And then i think robin mentioned that. We're we're talking to another guest today and he's also musician so it'll be interesting to see. He has the same story. So steve tell us where you get your business from sure. I've been asked this question before Default to the same answer. Because i haven't found a better one yet. I think it comes from growing up as a kiss fan as a kid. And i know that might sound strange but what they achieved. I always find. I can go back and read a kiss book about the band. Have essentially invented a whole new category redefined popular music and how they were slated to be complete failures at the beginning but persevered and changed and became incredibly successful. I don't think that musically they are the beatles and don't think that business perspective. I have a lot of respect for gene simmons who has kissed coffins for sale for example. I think he's a real opportunists. But i loved to read about that band. I love to see how they have gone through the last almost fifty years continuing to both reinvent themselves and stay true to form. You've definitely dated yourself based on cassette and a lot of people won't even broccoli recognize that that name. I certainly do but i know what you're talking about. Because at the time when they first came on the scene they were definitely not mainstream at all and the funny thing is going back to the business. Okay so kiss. Had one hit song which was in one thousand nine hundred seventy eight. I believe and a handful of other small hits that ban has continued to generate. Millions of dollars in revenue continued to remain relevant. Despite the fact that they are rehashing kind of something that they did brilliantly for two or three years in the seventies and again as a business person. This is what is so incredible to me. They have maintained that relevance they have kept their quote business moving forward and i don't know if the growing or not they continue to be among the top grossing danced despite their relevance. I really have great respect for that as a business person. Yeah that's very cool to see and there's a couple of years ago. I don't know if you're watching at st. But they did have a reality. Show going with gene simmons and his family so i was found that amazing. The these guys. Just don't stop there. They're still here. And i'm definitely on the younger side. Where maybe. I should remember them as much but i do. Because they keep going and they are still relevant sell. Stephen just wanted to wrap up this episode with a wanted to go back to your your chatting earlier about you know. You've got one of your children in in in university in one in grade ten. What's one piece of advice that you'd give to younger generations so people like your kids who are not that far off from entering the workforce. What's a piece of advice that you'd give to them. It's probably gonna be make the most of your twenty s try everything love it and there's probably few pieces i hope to give them. But that is the one that would be the most important like you know what. Start worrying about your career your life when you're in your twenties. Try as many things as you can do fail as many times as he can. Walk as many roads as you can. And you know when you're thirty you've got forty solid years of work. If you want the. I think you know making sure that you've sown your wild oats both personally but also in terms of your career. I think is an excellent thing to do. I think that's great advice for anyone in and that's you know that some of the challenges with with school. I mean you end up in university and depending on where you go and what program you're involved in. You've got to make a decision pretty early on so you know with your career. You're right you've you've got time especially in your twenty s to figure it out and make sure that you know that life journey at the end of that journey. You're you're happy with what you've done.

"Apps more and more were investing in improved reporting analytics for sponsors to allow them to better understand the dynamics that would play in their workplace. We actually just launched a new organizational health assessment that employers can offer to their members. And it's a really comprehensive assessment that not only actually tests what an employer does in the workplace to to support the health of its members and how members actually perceive that so it's a combination of not only at evaluation of the current status of your members. But it's also an evaluation of the programs that you haven't placed in how effective or how they're meeting the needs of your membership along with some insights. Some things you might want to do differently so there are so many things that i think that are changing. And that are evolving and working directly with members employers have often had to bear the burden of trying to do all that communication with their members and more and more we are creating through outreaches to member three through email or through our apps to actually engage with them and off load some of that communication that is required from sponsors. So we're really trying to partner that way as well. You could probably speak better to this. But i think you're seeing a lot of this rate from your interaction with employers to write this more engagement with members. Yeah absolutely. This is something that i tend to look for silver linings. It's in my personality. And i'm a positive guy on on even on a bad day but especially during covid nineteen. I've really tried to look for silver linings in and one of the things that i mentioned the top of this episode was. I've i've really been impressed with a lot of the canadian carriers and how they've stepped up and you know said or a little bit earlier the really in kudos to manulife for for investing in their digital assets and delivering things like this but game one of the things that we haven't touched on. I don't think he had During the episode. I thank you degrees. It's very important especially now with a lot of people working remotely challenges with that obviously with with family at home and maybe to spouses of homeworking at home and that's mental health. Mental health has become a much bigger issue working remotely during covid nineteen and maybe being detached from what you're used to. How does taking a holistic approach to persons health. Make a difference especially as it relates to mental health. You're right mental. Health is a huge focus. One way sort of entered covid nineteen or leadership. Group was meeting daily and We actually continue to meet three days a just to sort of address emerging concerns almost out of the gate. We had a big focus on. What are some of the areas that we need to be concerned about. And obviously there's government programs and things like that that we responding to but mental health was at the forefront of a lot of the discussions not all have been a lot of the discussions so through covert did we took action as it other carriers to really help profile for sponsors and their members with direct communications about resources that were available to them whether it's their e.
