    My dad got diagnosed with bladder cancer today

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Worth looking into Turkey Tail mushroom extracts. Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor is its scientific name) is the most heavily studied of all the medicinal mushrooms, and has shown a lot of promise when used in combination with modern cancer treatment, for example it has been shown to help with...

    The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Random Chat Thread...

    CHAT - AI - 
    Very true. I’ve heard Gary V banging the drum on this one. Last video I watched of his, he said something along the lines of “in 2036, it’s going to feel like 2066 and 1966”, referring to how technology is going to be even more extreme and advanced, but so too is the move to “analog” activities...

    I'm currently creating an online course and had thought about doing seasonal courses through someone videoing me in each season and editing it together, but I'd not thought about the AI angle in that sense so thank you. I would just have to be careful in how it's presented with safety first...

    Yeah I can understand that frustration. Feels like all social media platforms have become less social in that sense! Yes I currently trade time for money, not as directly as you do in a job (I have loads of freedom compared to a job) but in the sense that my offering and income is based on me...

    Sounds like they’ve copied the other social media platforms as it’s the same on tik tok, instagram etc. Barely matters anymore how many followers you have, it’s all about the quality of the individual post. I’ve 29k followers on tik tok and often get just a few hundred views (not complaining as...

    I've heard Gary V talking about 3 big trends he sees coming - obviously AI is one of them, live social shopping is another (he is really banging this drum and thinks it will be huge), but another trend he is "calling" is a huge rise in "in-person" events as people increasingly crave authentic...

    Are you using AI yet? (Poll + Steps to get started & up to speed?)

    HOT! FEEDBACK 
    I use AI, mainly Gemini and ChatGPT (pro versions for both), mostly for polishing writing or brainstorming ideas for videos/hooks/titles/thumbnails etc., but have also used it for random things like helping with my tax return. When I have used AI for video or image creation, I've found it...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I generally stay out of this thread as I even love the varied UK seasons, but I visited New Zealand albeit over 20 years ago, and I liked it but much preferred Australia. My honest impression of New Zealand from a scenery point of view was that it's like the UK (but with far fewer people and...

    How do you reset after an unproductive week?

    MINDSET 
    Often if I feel like this I switch to tasks that I genuinely enjoy doing, something that keeps moving the needle even if it's not what I "should" be prioritising. Even when I am or have been pushing hard, I find this can often refill my cup with the energy for continuing later with the more...

    How are you guys beating the social media addiction?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I use an App blocker on strict mode, it's worked amazingly. I produce quite a few videos on my phone for social media so personally didn't want to just delete the apps as it's so much easier and smoother (for me) to post from my phone than on laptop, and to respond to comments etc. So I only...

    Reminds me of the David Attenborough quote: “If children don't grow up knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it, and if they don't understand it, they won't protect it, and if they don't protect it, who will?”

    What's Your Xmas Sprint?

    CHAT 
    I continue working up to Christmas but in a much more "light" way. I like to devote mornings to work but "devote" is probably the wrong word as I'll often have Christmas music in the background and be accepting frequent interruptions from my 16 month old son! Afternoons I'll take off for...

    Year End Thought Exercise: 10 Questions to Ask about This Year

    MINDSET 
    What was your biggest triumph? Was there several, or none? Why? There were a couple. The main one is growing the business 50%+ albeit from a small starting point, but pleased with the progress as this year I earned significantly more than I ever have in a job with 100 X the freedom, fulfilment...

    The Wealth Money Can't Buy: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life, by Robin Sharma. I like many of Robin Sharma’s books for two purposes – one, to illuminate habits and ways of living that bring a lot of happiness and fulfilment (to me, anyway), and two, to feed the mind with some...

    The Biggest Issue with Coffee Is...

    HOT! IDEA FEEDBACK 
    I’ve been drinking coffee for 20+ years, most days I would only drink early in the morning but it would be 2 strong cups in a row, and then nothing for the rest of the day. While there are many heavier coffee drinkers than me, I was without doubt addicted. I knew this even from 10 years ago when...

    The Walking Thread

    OFF-TOPIC HEALTH 
    It's called the Lyke Wake Walk and it's 42 miles across the North Yorkshire Moors. The "wake" part of the name comes from the fact the route follows historical coffin routes and burial mounds, though it's not a morbid walk lol, it's mostly just beautiful english countryside. We started at...

    OFF-TOPIC HEALTH 
    Walking is one of the most underrated exercises in my opinion, I think a lot of people write it off because it doesn't seem like "proper" exercise, yet the benefits are incredible, it's low impact on joints, it's great for mental health, and I often get my best ideas when out walking, especially...

    I've experienced it but only briefly, it's important to "re-set" and focus on building the best business you can and not think or focus too much on your competition. I find it quite depressing when I start going down the rabbit hole of looking at all my competitors, so what I do and have been...
