122: Play your way to success - Tom Davies, GeoWizard

122: Play your way to success - Tom Davies, GeoWizard

Tom Davies, GeoWizardTom Davies, better known online as GeoWizard, is an English YouTuber who uploads videos based around the online map game GeoGuessr.In early 2019, Tom had felt a craving for an adventure — one that would push him mentally and physically and, with any luck, leave a sense of accomplishment at the end. He attempted to walk across the country of Wales in a completely straight line. He didn't upload the footage until summer of the same year. He attempted to cross from the English border near the town of Oswestry, all the way to Dolgellau on the west coast. He made it just over half way before temporarily giving up, taking a 5 day break, and returning to walk the rest of the distance. Tom split the adventure into five parts, with each episode lasting just over 30 minutes. Each episode is entertaining and humorous as you would expect.Tom has managed to accrue a massive following who is simply amazed at his ability to guess all kinds of random locations on the game GeoGuessr, a game that requires some intermediate travel and geographical knowledge. So gamers will be trying to guess the locations of remote towns or villages, roads, and other areas that might not be obvious at first glance..There are dozens of other videos with Tom making impressive guesses on YouTube.Tom:Connect with Tom on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-davies-982b2a193/)GeoWizard YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/GeoWizard/featured)Support Tom on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/geowizard)ABOUT THE HOSTMy name is Sam Harris.

No amount of money can buy time and you shouldn’t feel like you’re mindlessly wasting your life awayMany people choose careers that don’t make them happy. For what? For money, for social status. Only to find out that they would all do it differently if they had the chance. You only have one life, so don’t waste it working somewhere you hate just because of the money.Work for something you care of love and see yourself living better. It is more important that you are happy and get to do what you are passionate about every day/Be consciousTo be conscious is being aware of one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, etc. Take a look at your life as if you were somebody else looking inside your brain. Observe what thoughts you entertain and what patterns you do everyday. Notice that some will be positive and some will be negative. These negative thoughts and actions are the ones holding you back and they need to be stopped. The positive thoughts and actions you entertain and do every day need to be magnified and multiplied. Develop and grow your consciousness and be able to improve yourself mentally, physically and spiritually.SyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.

Whether you realize it or not, we spend the majority of your day doing things you’ve already donea lot of times before. Very rarely do you actually try new things for the purpose of engaging a unique experience.The fear of the unknown and the fear of failure often tempt you to say “no” to anything new. But pushing out of your comfort zones is actually good for you in so many ways. The possibilities are absolutely endless when it comes to trying something new, and whether it’s a big or small leap outside your comfort zone you’ll still reap the benefits. Trying new things is often terrifying and daunting and that’s reason enough to do it. Take a leap forward and embrace it completely. Know your target audienceKnowing your target audience is an important piece of the marketing plan, yet people fail to execute this properly. When you clearly identify your target audience, you focus on connecting with them and when you know your audience, you know their problems. With this knowledge, you can pinpoint places of opportunity for your brand to provide solutions.When you define your target audience, you create brand recognition and loyalty, deeply resonate with prospects, and improve your offerings all while creating better marketing campaigns. Identifying and understanding everything about your target audience is crucial for success. SyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.

Failing is important because it teaches us how to go about things. It’s through failure that we learn the greatest lessons that life could teach us.Most people dread failure as it will take you on a journey that isn't your goal. But, the reality of the situation is that the journey of failure will only help to mold and shape you into a better person. Failure is only a word that means you have produced some other result instead of your original goal.It's ok to fail and if you fail, fail forward.Find the right supportWhen obstacles arise, we sometimes need a little help keeping our goals in perspective. If you are ever overwhelmed or struggling, your support network should be willing to help you and offer their guidance, insight and strategies for success. Build a network of people you can trust and look to for guidance. Cultivating and maintaining a network can help you achieve success. By providing the encouragement that you need to meet each challenge with determination and a positive attitude, the right support will help you learn from your failures and celebrate your success.

These criticism can be difficult to accept – but that all depends on your reaction.

Try to remain calm and use criticism to fuel your growth.

115: Climbing the Right Mountain - Matt Barnett, CEO - Bonjoro

Matt BarnettA British industrial designer & artist, moved to Australia he decided to get his MBA. He fell for tech and found himself starting different businesses. Although he failed at some, failure did not stop him from developing what is to be known as Bonjoro.Having to ferry across the rivers of Sydney goint to work, Matt discovered that videos can play a huge role across customer acquisition. With this idea, Matt came up with Bonjoro - a video messaging app that allows you to record one on one personalized video messages for your customers. Bonjoro has snowballed into a startup success story. Matt’s love of building great products is only surpassed by his total commitment to building great business culture, and Matt asserts that Bonjoro’s “customers as friends” culture has been the main driver of the businesses success.More on Matt & BonjoroBonjoro Website (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mbjbarnett/)Connect on LinkedIn with Matt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mbjbarnett/)Bonjoro on Twitter (https://twitter.com/bonjoroapp)Bonjoro on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/bonjoroapp/)ABOUT THE HOSTMy name is Sam Harris.

Many of us have probably experienced this at some point. We can start by figuring out where it comes from and re-framing the way we feel about failure.Set small goals that can help develop your confidence. Learn how to explore and evaluate all possible outcomes rationally and develop contingency plans; and practice thinking positively. By moving forward slowly but steadily, you'll begin to overcome your fear.Don't fear failure. Stay positive, have a backup plan, and learn from whatever happens. It's one way to get to the answer you're looking for and be able to move forward. Start nowWe all have dreams we wouldd like to achieve. Most of these dreams never become more than just a thought. The reason? We don't start or move towards it. Most people tend to delay starting anything, whether it is a business, hobby, diet, relationship, etc. Everyone seems to be afraid of change or the unknown.Planning to start something? Take small steps or come up with small goals and work on it. You'll notice that not only do you get to accomplisg a goal, but it takes you one step closer to your dreamIf you want more in life, you have to go out there and take it.SyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.

113: Trauma and Mental Health - Karen Stefano, Author - What a Body Remembers

113: Trauma and Mental Health - Karen Stefano, Author - What a Body Remembers

Karen StefanoA defence lawyer and an author. Her recent book, What a Body Remembers: A Memoir of Sexual Assault and Its Aftermath, looks back at the events where she was assaulted in college, went on to become a criminal defense attorney, and 30 years later was hit with anxiety and PTSD.Our guest was assaulted near her home in Berkeley, CA, after a late-night walk home from a shift as a Berkeley police department aide. Her assailant was charged with assault with a deadly weapon but was ultimately acquitted of the crime.Karen got no justice from her case. The assault and the traumatizing experience of not being believed in the courtroom as a woman in need of help, had her understanding why such predicament has happened to her.Karen shows how there are many ways to heal from trauma, that the path is not always straightforward, but usually more of a two steps forward, four steps back process.What a Body Remembers is a powerful book about hope and the capacity to heal.Karen Stefano and What a Body Remembersstefanokaren.com (http://stefanokaren.com/)What a Body Remembers: A Memoir of Sexual Assault and Its Aftermath (https://www.amazon.co.uk/What-Body-Remembers-Assault-Aftermath/dp/B07SG12JZ4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=X21I61LHY8XI&dchild=1&keywords=what+a+body+remembers&qid=1591036779&s=books&sprefix=what+a+body+remem%2Caudible%2C324&sr=1-1)Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/karen.stefano.5)Twitter (www.twitter.com/kstefano1)ABOUT THE HOSTMy name is Sam Harris.

It takes time and patience. Give yourself room to breathe. It doesn’t mean that it will immediately change things, but it will definitely give you a clearer perspective on everything that is going on around you.Begin the process of letting your painful emotions come and go. Slow down and tune in to our experience so we can find the silver lining. Remember, healing is a process that happens step by step, day by day, so please don’t rush yourself.Practice positive self-talkSelf-talk is the dialogue you have with yourself, and that's pretty common. Often, self-talk is referred to as giving ourselves instructions while we carry out a task, random observations about our environment or a situation.Self-talk can be both negative and positive. Much of your self-talk depends on your personality. If you’re an optimist, your self-talk is more hopeful and positive. If you're a pessimist, your self-talk could be "toxic" and depressing.Our self-talk can have an influence on the way we see ourselves, and the world around us. Learn to shift that inner dialogue. It can help you be a more positive person, and it may improve your health - mind, body and spirit.It's ok to seek helpMany people who hesitate to seek help struggle in silence. Some people hide their condition so well that loved ones or the people around them may be unaware they are going through something.There is no shame in seeking help. The most important thing you can do is reach out to someone. You may be surprised at how many people can share their own stories of struggles. But what's more important is that they will also be able to share how they overcame it.We are not alone. We are love and we are loved.SyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.
