A year ago, we agreed what should or shouldn't be tolerated. But controversies around Joe Rogan, Awkwafina and Dave Chappelle have blurred that line.

President Joe Biden’s administration has pushed Facebook to ban anti-vaccination content but blurred lines around the First Amendment and misinformation.

Loosely based on Ubisoft's multiplayer VR game from 2016, Werewolves Within borrows the social deduction elements from that party game to present a silly, suspenseful "whodunnit" horror-comedy. Tonally, the film doesn't hit every comedy beat it's aiming for, as the lines between parody and satire get blurred, but overall it's a fierce fun time. The movie is directed by Josh Ruben and written by Mishna Wolff. The cast includes Sam Richardson, Milana Vayntrub, George Basil, Sarah Burns, Michael Chernus, Catherine Curtain, Wayne Duvall, Harvey Guillén, Rebecca Henderson, Cheyenne Jackson, Michaela Watkins, and Glenn Fleshler. Werewolves Within opens in theaters June 25, 2021, and On Demand July 2, 2021.

So let me bring Deborah up ontothe screen here.Hold on if you if you’re just joining type inHi Deb to let her know that we’re watching andI’m going to bring it to the show.Hello Deb. Hi, thank you so much for having meand I have to tell you this is the firsttime I’ve been introduced with both of my college affiliation.So Gold Star for being original and cool and awesome.Hey that’s fantastic and I’m also trying something a littlebit different.I used to do these shows and I did sortof a little bit of small talk at the beginningto let people.Get in an and get on the show,but we’re not going to do that today,so we’re just going to dive right into the topicthis week about goal setting and how to do better.So we’re just going to start out with what isthe most important part of setting a goal.Well, I love this question because what happens is peopleoverthink or they under think their goals.So the most important part is figuring out what itis you want ’cause you can get what you want.If you don’t know what you want.So I created the dead method.Now I’ve been coaching and leading groups and helping peopledefine,plan and achieve their goals for years.And then in 2018 I rebranded as the name ofmy system which is the depth method isn’t that convenient?Fit my days worked out.But Deb stands for determine your mission.Explore your options. Brainstorm your path so these are thethree phases that I came up with,which will really help you figure out what you wantand create a plan to achieve it.And it really starts with that first,then D. Determine your mission and that’s when you reallythink about what is the life you want.What do you want to create?What is your goal? Topia?That’s the word I made up for your perfect worldwhere you’re living like you want an.Realizing your goals, what does that look like and thenthink about where you are and then where you’re going?And then what is your mission behind it?Why do you want these things?What do you have to offer the world?What do you want to create and how will ithelp you but also help others?And from there you can like drill it down toa motto.So if you know all those things and I knowit’s a long answer,but if you’ve got that basis then all the goalsthat you set in relation to your mission.In relation to your motto,you’re already halfway there because you know what you want.You’re just setting your goals to achieve that.Right, eight I, I agree,and this is good, we have Christina’s chiming in.She is a no no resolution type of person andthat is OK.Everyone’s a little bit different,but. Yeah, resolutions and goals and I’m actually going tojump into that right now.Is there a difference between resolutions and goals?I really don’t think so.I think resolutions are the start of every year.The opportunity to start from scratch,but I believe the goal setting is really year round.You can start reassess, figure out what you want inlife.All the time, anytime beginning of the year,every three months, the only thing or when something happensI change either by choice or by circumstance,and you need to reevaluate your life.Those are the best times to set goals,set resolutions, what you want to be wary of isyou don’t want to set knew big big goals likeevery week,every month because you’re not giving the goals.A chance to realize themselves.So start with that step of figuring out what youwant and make a plan to get it,and then Jack in with yourself every couple months.See if it’s working for you and again you havea life change or you need to make a decision.That’s when you should look at those goals and theresolutions.But we do get a reminder the beginning of everyyear.OK, let’s start fresh slate.I I love that idea of start with what youwant because it’s important to know that wait,I have a question for you.Yeah, what is your resolution?You know, hey, this is great.I said I want to do it 10.Amazon lives by the end of January and so I’mfeeling alright on this.Amazon Live is a new platform.It’s kind of new to me.I’m trying it out and I’ve done 3 so far.So you’re the third, you’re not my third live show,you’re my third Amazon live.So that’s fantastic. You’re actually my first author interview,so I think I’m going to be doing a lotmore of those,and I want to set that goal because I wantedto evaluate the Amazon Live platform to see if it’sa platform I want to continue going live on furtherin 2021.Can I ask a follow up?Yeah, I know you’re interviewing me,but I’m just curious. So you,what is your goal? What do you want to beable to say at the end of 2021?Alright, so here is, here’s what I’m working on settingup I I was a Blogger in data science foryears.I still have a blog and one of the thingsI kind of wanted to transition myself into.Helping other people in the field of technology become contentcreators.And so I am going to be interviewing book authorsand other content creators for the duration of 2021,hoping that eventually I can start offering a course insome training around.How do you become a content creator?OK, so your goal Topia if I may be sobold.Yes, to be the go to guy on content creationfor people in tech,yes.That’s perfect, so your resolution in your goals are allworking together to get you to that place.So your gold stars where my gold stars.I say there we go.Well, thanks, I feel like I’m getting a free consultingsession,so thank you for that.So can I challenge the audience?Can I change the question you you can do whateveryou want on the show here I guess.So rather than think of it in terms of resolutions,think of it in terms of what I just asked,Ryan. What do you want to be able to sayat the end of next year that you accomplished andthen you said so you’re looking at a year longgoal and then look to it as what short termgoals do you have to do in order to reachthat long term goal?So and I’m backing I’m backing into the dev methodhere,so you determine your mission.Next, you want to explore your options.You want to see? OK,I want this. What does that mean?I want to be the go to.Accounting guy for attack? Well,what do I do? Do I block and I’m usingyou as an example,even though you’ve done this because it works really well.Do I block? Do I do live shows?Do I do podcasting? Do I write a book?What ways do I want to manifest this knowledge?And then you research the different things and figure outOK,what’s the fit? Great go to guy on content fortext Anne,I’m going to do it via live shows,so then you brainstorm your path.Everything you need to do to accomplish that goal atthe end of the year.It’s math were tech people watching.Think of the endpoint and what you need to doto get there.It’s it’s just brainstorming, logic and planning,and so my follow-up question for Deb on this iswhat are some of the common mistakes you see withpeople in goal setting?Well, the first one we already addressed,which is not knowing what you want because you can’tget what you want if you don’t know what youwant,simple, basic, etc. Beyond that,don’t.I love this story. Friend of mine once told methat she writes down her goals at the beginning ofthe year,puts them in a drawer and at the end ofthe year she will look and be pleasantly surprised ifshe accomplishes something.That is probably the biggest mistake you can make,which is putting them aside and in crossing your fingers.Not only do you need to know what it is,but you should keep a top of mind.So big mistake not looking at your goals direction.Look at your goals.But then you could do a List 35 whatever yourtop goals that you are working towards throughout the yearand put it.I have mine like behind my computer.I look at it all the time.Another place to do it is take a picture ofthat list and put it on your phone as thewallpaper.Put another good one. I put it on your computer.I say if your your yoga teacher put on newyoga mat.If you’re a chef, put on your fridge,put it in that place that you know you’re goingto look at because it’s it’s a top of mindthing.So very common. Mistake the other common mistake is notprioritizing yourself or your goals,because a lot of the people who I work withthey have these wonderful passion projects that aren’t necessarily currently.Revenue generating, they have things that they are building.They want to write a book.They want to launch a course.Things that benefit down the line.But right now it’s Oh my goodness.How do I find the time?And you need to prioritize yourself an even if it’san hour a week,do half hours a week,15 minutes, four times a week,whatever. When you look at your life,your calendar, you want to set yourself up for success.So look at your life Z.What’s feasable, put those appointments in your calendar and keepthem.I audience here. Christina says one of her biggest problemsis unplanned or incorrect prioritization,or prioritizing too much. She also said she likes thephone background suggestion.That was a great one that was a little nuggetthat you threw out there free for everyone that’s listeninghere.I kind of want to dive into this one beforeI go back to the calendar.How do you deal with or how do you makesure that you avoid incorrect prioritization or prioritizing?Too many things because we all get in that youcan’t say everything is my top priority,because if everything through top priority nothings are top priority,exactly in that goes back to what’s the biggest challengepeople have with goals they under think them.Or they overthink them. They don’t have a plan,so thank you, Christina, that that is the crux ofmost people’s challenges.And that’s why I’m going to call back to themission and Motto.So if you have your mission behind what you weredoing it acts like a compass.So my mission is to help a do use mybackground experience and systems to help as many people aspossible.Figure out what they want and how to get itthrough.Goal setting and productivity. I know really,really long, but that’s why we have a motto becausewe can take that long thing and shorten it up.So my motto is goal setting simplified,so all of my activities related to.Anything in getting myself out into the world?I have the the simplified process,so my book really super easy instructions because I believechanging your life is difficult enough.You shouldn’t have to question or get too caught upin how to connect the dots.Write my workshops by seminars anytime I speak.It’s all with that logic and I love that youuse stress free goal setting in the title of thisbecause.The goals that you’ve set it should make your lifebetter.They should not stress you out.They shouldn’t drive you like why am I doing this?No, so when you have that model,that is your barometer. So when opportunities come your way,you can say does this fit in line with mymission and motto?Yes, great no skip it.Or if something comes your way that it isn’t inalignment but enriches you in another way,then that’s also fine. But when you know these things,the end goal. It really helps with that prioritization.The other thing in going back to brainstorm your pathI love.I love writing the things.Obviously my background is communications and project management.So what do you do to make a plan right?Everything out, organize it, categorize it,put in deadlines. Figure out what you need to do.So go back to that.Look at your life, say see how much time youhave to devote to these goals in the week.Put together those appointments. But look at that big listof the things that you have to do an anmap it all out.Which action items lead to each benchmark?Which benchmark leads to each short term goal with shortterm goal leads to each long-term goal?Oh, this is this is great stuff and I lovethat you were saying about it.All ties back to you.You need to know what you want because opportunities aregoing to come your way throughout the gear and youneed to know whether that really aligns with what youwant to do or not.And I will say this is one of the thingsI’ve struggled with with a lot of my like sideprojects and like my blog and people ask me topost things on my blog and I never really hada good method for does this align with what Iwant my blog to talk about.Or not, and I started realizing it just took medown a lot of different paths that.Maybe weren’t so beneficial for me and didn’t help mereach any of my goals.They just took time. And fill it,that’s exactly it. I’ve got a great story.Do you want a good story that goes with thatexample I,you know, we always want a good story here onthe live show.And now I feel like I I really like oversoldit,but a couple of years ago somebody asked me tospeak on a panel and it was something about womenin the workplace.I’m woman worked day job for many years.It was not in complete alignment with what I did,but it was a friend and I said OK,but I was a little.About it and once you know the day of theevent was cancelled,I mean talk about the universe right and when thisperson rescheduled the event it was for January and Isaid,you know what? I would love to help you out.But January is goal setting season in my big busiesttime and I’m not available to do it.Thank you for thinking of me.So I I took my own advice.Looked say OK it it would be a nice thingto do,but I couldn’t so I went with my gut.I aligned with my motto and said no.Thank you and wouldn’t you know an opportunity that wasmuch more in alignment.Came up for that same night.So trust your gut, your house,your motto, trust your mission.It will not steer you wrong.It’s it’s hard to say no.I know sometimes but but if you get that beginningof know what you want,it helped make saying no better because.You have a reason for saying no,and I, I think people understand when you just sayyou know this doesn’t really align with what I wantto do,so I’m going to say no,yeah, yeah, blame me, blame me honestly.Because when you add in in one of the thingsthat that I discovered when I was doing research formy book,working in my book proposal is most books that helppeople with goals don’t take the time to help youfigure out what those goals are in.For me, that’s that’s the crux.And I talked too much with my hands and mymicrophone just went that way.I thought I wouldn’t have that problem.If I use the mic microphone,but apparently I’m very, very talented.It happens on alright. I wanted to.I wanted to come back.You started mentioning this this calendar and this idea,and I know this is something you like to talkabout.I love I love my To Do List and Ilove my calendar so tell us a little bit aboutyou said very briefly,you said, make appointments with yourself and put them onthe calendar.Speak about that a little bit.Well, it goes back to that.That mistake people make, which is not prioritizing themselves notprioritizing their goals.When you make appointments with yourself then you are treatingyour time as sacred as the time you reserved forother people.You wouldn’t cancel an appointment with your boss or aclient,or really anybody, because it’s their time,so why would you cancel an appointment with yourself?I do have a little loophole in that the calendarrule,which is you look at your life.You say, OK, I could do 2 hours on mygoals this week and I’m not quite sure which too,but still clean the time you can move the appointments,but you can’t delete.Oh, that is that is Golden.There you can move the appointment but you can’t deletehim.And one other thing on that.So here is a problem that I know people frequentlyhave.When they I’ve heard of people,they set up these calendars and they put 15 minutes.Today in 15 minutes. Tomorrow in 15 minutes the nextday and they miss it today because life happens andwe we all have to deal with that.You never know what’s going to happen in life.Things happen. You miss an appointment.So then tomorrow they’ve got well.They feel like they need to make up for yesterday’s15 minutes that they missed.What do you say about that?Oh my goodness, you didn’t realize this,but this is my five of seven roll.It is what it in an I used 15 minutesis the example when I talk about it as wellis a lot of people say you should do somethingevery day in like you?I say that’s great. In theory it’s not realistic andthat’s why I say look at your calendar.Look at your life and put in those appointments becausewhat’s gonna happen is you miss a day so youthink you should do 30 minutes and then you missedtwo days so you figure OK Tuesday I’ll do 45minutes and by Wednesday if you didn’t have 15 minutes.You don’t have an hour skip the days.You have to skip and start over.Yeah, so that that’s that’s great advice there.When you if you missed yesterday,just move on to the next day.Don’t try to pile it back on and I thinkI think that’s great information.Now I’m going to dive back into it.I got, I got some other questions that I wanted.To talk about. Here’s an here’s an audience question,so if you’re watching on Amazon Live or on whereveryou’re watching,type in a comment and let us know whether whenyou set goals,do you set personal, professional or both,and so this is what I want to talk withDeb about.How do you? How do you differentiate and deal withthese?Because especially now and coronavirus a lot of us arestuck at home and the difference between work and homeis a little more blurry than it.Maybe wasn’t the past. So do you set them alltogether or the dependent on each other?What can you say about that?The answer is yes. But I will elaborate great becauseyou do you need both personal and professional goals andwhat happens is your if you.When you achieve your personal goals and helps her professionallife and when you achieve your professional goals,it’s going to help your personal life.So if one of your personal goals is to havea healthier life,healthier lifestyle, you know if you’re healthier,you’re going to be better set for business.You’re going to have more energy and be more motivatedfor professional goals.If you it works going well,it’s gonna leak into your personal life.So they really do work together and it goes backto.You you figured out your mission,you know your destination. What you want to accomplish andwhen you brainstorm that major list of goals,benchmarks, and action items, you should be putting in bothpersonal and professional goals.So you put everything out there and then get hada garage.Them what needs to be done to get to eachbenchmark?What benchmarks make up each short-term goal in now personalgoals.They work a little bit differently because sometimes you canbatch him up.I call them project personal goals,but they’re also lifestyle personal goals,which are an hour a week.You do this, or like you meal plan or youworkout three times a week and another very important personalgoal because you mentioned that that blurred line is makeup some rules for your personal goals.You know, set a stop time at the end ofthe day.Give yourself a lunch break put.All these things in the calendar,if you can take cough dry cough the whole weekend.Yeah right. Do you know anybody who other than likeon a vacation or an actual break takes 2 daysoff in a row?I sure don’t so more realistic.Is a sign either a morning or an afternoon ora whole weekend day where you’re not going to workso you can do the things that are going tore energize and refresh you so you’re better set forthe rest of the week.So yes, do both again figure out what’s going towork in your life.Put in your calendar. Do them.This is, this is so good there’s so much greatinformation being dropped and shared in here we I havea follow up on this one when when you’re talkingabout professional and personal goals.How many goals should you set in either of thosespaces?Well, what is your priority?If your priority is something you’re trying to accomplish professionally,you’re going to have more of those.If your your priority is work,life balance is so my book.The first half of my book goes through the depthmethod.The second half is strategies for success,and I talk about the four goal paths which arework life balance,the starter build, business career,or job change. Known expert and I somehow managed tobatch all the goals into.One of those four categories,and if your goal is due.A. Elevate yourself as an expert because it sounds likethat’s a lot of that’s what you’re working on andthings that your listeners are doing.You know, data science, listeners,watchers, audience, Audience, audience, audience because you want to havecontent creation is all about sharing what you know inhelping others.So look at what that means for you.OK, I want to be known for doing this soI can help other people do that better.What is that mean for you?So look at it. Maybe you want to do ablog and then a podcast and then a video seriesor courses.But look at what is the order dry did takelike 1A goal and then one beta goal and allthe things that that go with it an I alwayssay you should be working on at least do like.Impactful goals at a time.Because if you’re challenged on one thing,you can jump over to the other and that waythey are both moving forward at all times.So maybe you’re developing your blog is your Alpha goaland your beta goal is working on that social mediapresence because they both inform and help each other.And if you are like.You can jump and work on the other and thenonce that gets rolling,jump to the first thing.So in terms of goals and you only you knowyour number.Look at your life and what makes sense,but I’d say an we’re talking resolutions so maybe youpick like 5 things by big goals.You want to have accomplished by the end of theyear and break them down and work on a fewsimultaneously.And so they elevate each other that that’s good tohave the Alpha and the beta goals there,because pick on that align together so that you cankeep yourself moving forward if it’s one or the other.The trick is not having an Alpha,beta gamma, Delta not having tenable ’cause then it getsoverwhelming because you can’t keep up with those.Exactly exactly and I I will.I’ll give another good example.So my second book, which was right on blogging.51 tips to create right and promote your blog.I had been doing the guy to Gold podcast soI did 40 I think 41 episodes of interviewing,interesting people talking about their story in offering tips forgoal,setting success. And it was a lot of fun,but I really wanted to finish my blogging book.And my blogging book was not going to get finishedwhile I was on that podcasting schedule.So it’s been on hiatus.It remains on hiatus.One of my goals for this year was to bringit back,but I ended up doing the live show instead.So again priorities, but you can do something for awhileand then say you know this was great for me.I want to put my attention towards this and inpodcast land we call it,you know, the first season,second season, coming whenever, but you may have to hitthe pause button on something in order to jump overand work towards something else,But that’s why you look at your life and seewhat you can do and set goals you want.Reach goals because you know you want that goal Topia.But you also need some easy goals ’cause you wantto have wins because those are so motivating.Oh, that’s that’s great. Those those winds are huge.Make sure you have things in there that you cando.Here’s here’s my follow up question for this one,so I was earlier in the show I was tellingyou about.I had set some goals for the end of January.How often do you recommend people reset goals?And then as as a caveat to that.How often do you? A relook at your goals toreassess them.Well, you need to look at your goals all thetime so it’s never going to be like wow,really. I was gonna do that.I’ve done nothing. You never want to say right?But what is great about the beginning of the year?Because everybody is on this.Let’s get this fresh start let’s get going.Let’s figure out what we want to create for ourselvesin the new year.So beginning of the year beginning of the school year,beginning of the summer, so seasonally is a really goodtime to look at it.But again, if you encounter change,let’s say your your job is changing in or itgoes away,or you just have had it and it’s time fora career change,well then that’s when you do the introspective thing.Figure out OK. Do you want a new job?Do I need a new career?What do I need to do to make that happen?Exploration, brainstorm, turn it into reality.So when when something comes at you that you haveno control over.If you get to the point where this job wasgreat for awhile,but I really want to start my own business,then you you know. You know,you know, you know when.If you’re in touch with what you want from life.Your gut is going to tell you when you needto do some of that reassessment,so cycles when you need it look at them frequently.Review them every season, and or when you need areboot.Yeah, there’s definitely times in life that don’t come atthe end of a.Things in a weather season or something?I I mean coronavirus was definitely one of those thatit happened and a lot of people had to reassesswhat they were doing and how they wanted to moveforward. Well, exactly in my book came out last Januaryan the reason of the primary reason that I wantedto write it is because I believe everybody deserves tobe happy in some, if not all of their lives.And if you are not getting fulfillment from your job,maybe you need to take a look.At what you can bring into your life that fulfillsyou or changing that situation and then two months latereverybody had was put in a position to reassess.So I I love that the timing of my bookwas even more relevant than I imagined when it cameout.Yeah, yeah, so your book came out or really 2020January right January yes it’s I.I’m having a book birthday on January 14th.Happy Happy Book birthday in a couple of weeks.Anyhow there there is Deb’s book she was just holdingit up.We can. We can totally promote your book.I put links to it in the comments on LinkedInan if you’re watching on Amazon,it’ll appear in the carousel.I believe they call it right underneath us,or if you’re watching it in review,I believe it’s over on the side.But the other thing can I mention is that thereis a Facebook group for your goal guide,so people who are going through the book.You can ask questions or share their journey or getlike little bonus motivation.So if you do go out and grab my book,which your goalguidebook.com will also take you to the AmazonLink,please join the group. Introduce yourself say this is wherewe met.That’s a fantastic idea. You can do that.I I do have some more questions.The worst thing to keep going ’cause I’m having agood time here and let me.I want to show this audience question if you ifyou have any questions for Deb be sure to throwthem out there.Some people are telling you Congrats on your you youryour book birthday.So people like that, like I,I’ve never had a book birthday ’cause I’ve never writtena book so well.What’s stopping you? You know,I see that as your 2020 two goal.I’ve had some opportunities to write books in the pastandI’ve always said no because I don’t.I don’t know that writing a book.Gets me super excited. And so then you shouldn’t writea book.Yeah, that’s that’s really you asked about mistakes people makewith setting goals.You should always love what you were working on,because if you’re not excited about it,it’s gonna shine through. Yeah,and so maybe I just haven’t found the topic thatI want to write the book about yet,so. Yeah alright so I have.I I I looked into you and Ann went outand read about you and.I wanted to know more about this.A little bit about what you do in your career,but somehow your career went from you are doing.I mean it was vague on your website.It said I was helping with some events at Barnesand Noble and then they asked me to set upsome other things and then while it’s like I don’tknow five years, three, I don’t know how many yearslater you are a goal setting Coach,which I don’t think was what you originally doing atBarnes and Noble.So can you walk us through that a little bit?I would love to because believe it or not,Barnes and Noble did set me on this path.I was the now they called it a community relationscoordinator back when I worked at Barnes and Noble inthe 90s.If you want to do math,you can. Feel free, but I’m not giving you anymorethan that.It’s alright. So I was the event coordinator for Barnesand Noble in Schaumburg,IL, and I grew up in in Highland Park,IL, and one day somebody walked in and said,Hey Deb would you start a writer support group anI said if you think people will come I’m morethan happy to try it out and they did anit was a hit in for me.I would support group meant OK,what do you work in mental setting?What are you working on?What did you accomplish? What are you planning for nexttime an whereas I was giving everybody homework.I was also giving myself homework,so I graduated from UW Madison degree in journalism,working at a bookstore so you know adjacent to thatlight that writer life an,but I hadn’t been freelancing so I gave myself agoal for every meeting I was going to write aspec column,slice of life and. A few months into it I.Was Adam Expo and I was chatting with people froma magazine and I’m like are you looking for freelancers?Do you have clips and I’m like,well, I do have articles and so setting that goalprepared me for when an opportunity arose.So I will go back to answering your questions.So this is what started.I moved to LA in the late 90s 2002.I restarted my goal group at Barnes and Noble inSanta Monica,CA. And over the years my group has evolved andgrew to embrace creatives and entrepreneurs.Not just writers. But somewhere along the line,people said, hey Deb, you’re good at this.Can you help me? An OK or a dub?Would you talk about goal setting at this conference?OK, so my business background was communications and project management,so take that with the goal setting and I basicallygot set on this path to do something that Ilove and I always thought you want to talk aboutMotto from a young age.I always said that whatever I did in my life,I wanted to just go full throttle.You know, be able to share my expertise and helpothers.So I guess that worked out,huh? I it did that.There’s so many things I’m trying to keep all thesenotes in my mind that I wanted to talk about.So Jed, this is in response to me writing abook.He said he’s tried to talk me into writing abook a number of times,but, well, I I do Coach,can I help people put their ideas together so tofile in in your mind and I I feel likeI should.Well, I don’t feel I’m gonna say it anyway though.A lot of the clients I work with,some of them are. I don’t know what to donext.I need a plan. An we meet an hour anI set them on their course and they’re good orthey’ll take one of my workshops or sometimes all clientswho say I always wanted to do this and Ican’t organize it and we Deb method then give thema plan and I work like a fitness trainer tohelp them achieve those goals.Yeah, and one other thing that you were saying backin there is I loved your story about.Someone asked you to do something at Barnes and Nobleand you said.OK, it’s not gonna fill up.I’ll do it, but the second part of it,which I thought was great was you’d set a goalfor yourself to start writing those weekly.I don’t remember you call them articles or whatever youstarted writing every week an collecting these and months later,a magazine opportunity showed up and they wanted to knowif you had any material and you said why?Yes, I do, and that’s one of the big thingsthat I especially we’re talking about tech inside projects and.Kind of things like that.Going out and starting something is really important,especially if you start something that you’re excited about andthat you like about and that you like to do.Eventually, something will come along or someone will want helpwith that thing that you know how to do,and you will be able to say,hey, I’ve already written 50 articles,or I’ve already put up 100 blog posts about this.I’ve already done 10 live streams and you’re already there,and so kudos to you for.Get that started and going and I love that story.If you have that story,do you want another one real quick?Love you. Let’s keep going.You’re gonna love this one.So I told you a spring of 2018 I rebrandedas the dev method because one of my main communicationclients was going away an I took it as theopportunity to step fully into this mission myself.Created the DAB method a few months later.An agent who I had met years like six orseven years.Before I re met because somebody in my life,group management and event referred him to my group,we started talking. He said where’s your book proposal andsaid why was planning to self publish.He said let me let me see what I cando and when by aligning myself with this mission bystepping full into dub these opportunities.When you know what you want,when you are open to this life,fulfilling your mission opportunities come you in a way.Like never before, so that happened more than once.Yes it does and I can say from being aBlogger and being out there on the social media.Internet opportunities do come your way.It’s important though to have your what do you reallywant to let you know when to say yes andwhen to say no.I got it. I got a couple of other questionswe’re going to skip some that I was maybe goingto ask for what you just said.Because that’s really awesome Goldstar.Thank you when I had my live meetings I hadstickers.Now I’ve just have a sticky note that I justpull out when I’m talking to people when they’re beingawesome.Well, that’s that’s fun. Thank you for the Gold StarI earned today.Here’s one ’cause I know you wrote a book onblogging and it falls clearly into the area of contentcreation is 2021 too late to start a blog?No, it’s never too late.One thing that 2020 showed us is that it’s reallynot too late to recreate ourselves.If you want to start a blog,start a blog. You want to start podcast started podcasts.Figure out the way in which you want to shareyour voice.And make a plan to get it out in theworld.That’s great, I want to cut that clip out.That last, that last quote that you said so sogo to that alright here here is my.My selfish question ’cause I have teenagers at my housethat sometimes ask interesting questions about this and so Ifigured when I get the opportunity to talk to interestingpeople like yourself, I was going to throw this questionin there and what career advice would you have forthe teenage version of yourself?Well, this is something I did as a teenager,but it’s advice that I love to give to teens.So can I alter the question?Sir, I did I did competitive public speaking all throughcollege and things are a little different right now,so I don’t know when that what version of itis in this current reality.But any opportunities children or teenagers or young adults haveto speak are going to help them so much intheir career.Because when you have strong written and oral communication skills.You could basically do anything,so my advice is your teenager.Start a podcast. Start a video,show him up with a buddy in write speeches andgive them to each other.My first book, Purple Pencil Adventures writing prompts for Kidsof all ages.I wrote because one of the moms of my lifegroup said my daughter loves to write.Would you? Coach are an I said oh,good opportunity for a blog,and that blog became my first book.But one of the instructions I have in it becauseI say all ages usually like.Middle School is the average,but younger kids can use it to write shorter storiesto draw pictures for the from these writing prompts andteenagers,and even some of my adult writer friends use itto get unstuck.But one of the best ways to use that bookis you take the prompt.Everybody in the family right story,and then you read them aloud.So you’re practicing both your written.Andrew verbal communication. Out that there’s a fantastic answer.My kids, my kids are are going to be upsetnow.’cause I’m going to make them watch that ’cause youtold them.Start a podcast, start a blog,start a live show, and whatever you’re interested.It starts something ’cause I tell them that all thetime and I OK.So now I’m telling them you’re welcome,but it’s the thing that they’re interested in.If they’re going. If there are more likely to doaudio only,then that’s what they should be doing.Or if they want to be on video.When I did my podcast,I did both because I figured if I’m doing audioI might as well do video anyway an but it’sit’s your comfort level.What is going to set you up for success?And they don’t even have.I know you’re going to make them put it outin the world,but if you’re uncomfortable, just practice.You never have. You can go live just to yourselffor practice in that works too.Yeah, we we always tell people we have a LinkedInlive group of live streamers and we always tell peopleif you want to practice live streaming.You can set up like private events or private Facebookgroups and private.You can go live on YouTube to some channel thathas no followers and.You can go live and no one is going towatch,and even if you have a show that’s public,is sometimes not that many people show up to watchanyway,so.I just got a couple of questions left,but Judd says learn to speak clearly and concisely andthat is a big one.Speaking and writing are two huge skills.It doesn’t matter what careerfield you are in.Oh alright, so as we’re as we’re finishing up theshow here and.Find the comment that I put out there with thelink to Deb’s book and go get yourself Debs bookor click on the carousel below.If you’re on Amazon live,but as we finish out water a few quick tipsthat you have.To set better goals.Well, if you haven’t figured out what you want,do that, and if you’re not sure what that is,what is? What is your medium?Do meditation, do journaling. I I have this this processI call directed journaling,which is when you’re in the exploration phase.OK, I want to create this.What does that look like?I suggest using that, but you can also use itto figure out what you want,and it’s very simple. Set 3 four 515 minute appointmentswith yourself,of course. Keep them and during that time you’re justbrain storming the answer to a question.So whether it’s what do I want?How do I make it happen?Or this is my mission?What do I need to do?But what’s going to happen is you’re just brainstorming freewriting and the trick is to do this a fewtimes but not look at what you wrote before untilafter you’ve done it. Then go back and read throughand circle highlight.Find those common themes because you know the answers.You just need to give yourself the time and theopportunity.Jew let it come out of you an embrace itand move forward.So it’s not a quick tip but it’s this quick,adjacent, right? So use journaling or meditation or whatever tofigure out what that goal Topia is.And then the other tip that I love is.I love setting a timer to Heimer is great becauseif you don’t want to do something you said OK,I’ll do 15 minutes and see if it gets megoing.So set the timer on your eye.I just did like a egg timer,but everybody has one on their cell phone and thenJune whatever and then when it goes off.If you are on a roll,keep going. If you’re not,you did your time, you’re good till your next session.So use little tricks like that to keep you movingforward in your projects or working on your book orthose things that you know you need or want todo but don’t have time for.Do in really small. Increments,so did this answer. Yes,it answered the question to set better goals,you need to know what you want to figure outwhat you want.You could do this.Look at your life, look at your schedule and dothings a little bit at a time.Because it will add up as well.Great, great final tip there a little bit at atime.Little things make a big difference going forward and mymy last question for you is I’m throwing up yourwebsite here people.That’s where you can go to find out more aboutthat,but what else would you like to tell?Where do you want people to go find out moreabout you and why would they reach out to you?Well, the devmethod.com is great also please find me onLinkedIn and jot a note that says that we methere.I love making new friends in one of my bigfeelings is you you don’t reach your goals on yourown.You need your tribe.

New look at the returning Spider-Man villains in Spider-Man No Way Home, and while the villains take center stage on each No Way Home poster, there’s a certain webhead (or webheads) stealing attention away from the treacherous Spiderman trio of foes. Featuring Doc Ock, Electro and Green Goblin, the three posters each focus on the villains, with a certain friendly neighborhood Spider-Man photobombing the forefront. While the Spider-Men on each poster might be blurred out, the costumes of the Spider-Men look slightly different on each The one on the Doc ock poster matches up with Tom Holland’s Spidey costume, while the costume on the Electro poster looks an awful lot like Andrew Garfield’s Amazing Spider-Man outfit, and the Green Goblin poster’s Spider-Man kinda syncs up with Toby Macguire’s 2002 Spider-Man outfit. It’s as if Toby MacGuire and Andrew Garfield’s involvement in Spiderman No Way Home has been all but confirmed by Sony and Marvel. Seems like they’d rather drop subtle hints and clues for the Internet and outlets like us to keep speculating and keep the buzz going for the film well up until the December 17th release.Why does Electro have the Iron Man Arc Reactor? Electro Arc Reactor is sure to be a point of contention in Spider-Man No Way Home. And with #SpidermanNoWayHome just around the corner, people can’t stop thinking about #SpiderMan … even the OG MJ, Kirsten Dunst, is thinking about the old webslinger in a recent interview she did with Entertainment Weekly. The actress expressed her desire to reprise her role in a new Spider-Man movie. And finally, we here at IGN partnered with Rogue Games to produce Rogue Jam a brand-new game jam offering exclusive development deals to competing indie game developers.
