S:1 Habits #33 - Network Genius and Hustling with Tallal Gondal Oct 23, 2017

Show notes

On today's episode, we have a friend of mine all the way from the UK, Tallal Gondal. Tallal is a Math Lecturer at Brooksby Melton College in the United Kingdom. He was born in Saudi Arabia, lived in Pakistan and now calls the United Kingdom home. He started a YouTube channel less than a year ago called Hustle Is 4 Life Motivation where he brings on "amazing guests from all over the world who are doing awesome things to add value to others." Like me, he is learning from their habits, strategies, and routines. We discuss the growth mindset, his networking strategies that have guided him to speak with some great people on his channel, negative self-talk and of course book recommendations. In the episode we discuss:

Hustle is 4 Life Motivation
Networking Genius

"It's not about passive learning it's about active problem-solving." Tallal Gondal Networking {3 Things}

Be more interested in what's happening in their lives than interesting
Bring value into their lives

Monday Meditations #10 - Cheer Them On! Oct 16, 2017

Show notes

"It's in keeping with Nature to show our friends affection and to celebrate their advancement as if it were our very own. For if we don't do this, virtue, which is strengthened only by exercising our perceptions, will no longer endure in us." Seneca, Moral Letters, 109.15

Have you ever caught yourself feeling jealousy or selfishness when looking upon others successes?

"If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the world belongs to you." Lao Tzu

In this episode, we have the innovation specialist and author of "Pure Genius" - Don Wettrick. Don is leading the way in changing how we think of education. Getting out of the dark ages and into the future with his innovation class and popular podcast - StartEdUp. He has interviewed industry titans like Gary Vaynerchuk, James Altucher, Seth Godin, Daniel Pink, plus a video call from Tim Ferriss with his students.

S:1 Habits #31 - Talks With Teachers creator Brian Sztabnik Sep 29, 2017

Show notes

I love all the guests I've had on the podcast so far, but this guest was special because I don't think I would have started this podcasting adventure if it wasn't for the inspiration Brian gave without even knowing me. His podcast "Talks With Teachers" is one of the most popular educational podcasts out there. He brings inspiring stories from some of the best teachers around. When I was still in my infant stage of teaching I started listening to this podcast and realized that it was okay to fail, some of the best teachers in the nation had bad days and lessons go terribly wrong. In 2013 was when I started listening. I would listen in the car on my way to work, morning runs in the icy cold weather to warm me up - corny I know. But true. It gave me ideas on how to be better, and it also helped me to stop being so hard on myself.

Along with his podcast and blog, Brian is a contributing writer for Edutopia, creator of aplithelp.com and #aplitchat on twitter. He is in his 13 or 14th year as an English teacher - he's wasn't sure of the exact number. He currently teaches AP Literature and Composition, creative writing, and public speaking at Miller's Place High School in Long Island. He's also a varsity basketball coach, husband, and father of 2. In this episode We talk about finding balance for all the things, the moment he decided he wanted to become a teacher, the book that introduced him to a love of reading, his morning routine, and the new journal he created called the Daily Teacher.

In this episode we discuss

His first 3 years
Letters to the New York Times
Brian's persistence to pursue
Scariest thing he's ever done
Love of reading
On The Road by Jack Kerouac
Finding balance with all the things
Inspiring teachers
Talks With Teachers
Writing Process
Pearl Jam
Morning Routine
The Daily Teacher Journal
1. What I hope to accomplish today
2. What will I teach my students
3. How will I make a difference
Teach Like A Pirate by Dave Burgess
War of Art by Stephen Pressfield
Where are we going as teachers?

Monday Meditations #7 - Weaknesses - Weekly Challenge Aug 21, 2017

Show notes

Welcome to another edition of Monday Meditations. This week we will focus on a weekly challenge, and this challenge stems from a quote by Knute Rockne "Build up your weaknesses until they become your strong points." – Knute Rockne Weekly Challenge 1. List three things that you perceive as your weaknesses 2. List how those perceived weaknesses could become strengths I know that my weaknesses hold me back from so many things in my life, but listing them and seeing them on paper plus visualizing how they can become our strengths can be a tremendous breakthrough and habit to build. You have roughly 10,000 minutes to accomplish the challenge this week. That puts things in perspective, doesn't it? To end is a quote from the greatest basketball player of ALL TIME: Michael Jordan "My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength." ⏤Michael Jordan
