471: Matt Moore | The Gentleman's Kitchen Dec 21, 2015

Show notes

Matt Moore (@HHOFD) is here to show you how to become a better version of yourself -- personally, in relationships, in friendships, and in business -- by cooking and sharing food with others.
The Cheat Sheet:
If you aren't cooking, why aren't you cooking?
Among its benefits, cooking for yourself promotes self-sufficiency, good health, and creativity.
What is the number one goal of a chef at a restaurant?
Contrary to popular opinion, bacon is not the be-all, end-all of great foods. You can create something healthier and just as satisfying if you know how.
We often stress the importance of networking; cooking offers you a chance to be more social and generous.
And so much more...

Show notes

Welcome to Fan Mail Friday #41! No jibber-jabber, just a short show where we answer Art of Charm listener mail and give out mini-lessons for the weekend!

"Pull my finger" is the new "It's not you -- it's me."
How do you tactfully let a lifelong friend know that their sudden weight gain has you worried for their health?
Is going to college still worth it?
We all do stupid things when we're young -- but they often make for interesting stories we tell our whole lives. What happens when we get older and wiser and feel like our new stories aren't as exciting?
When one person in a steady relationship makes a lot more money, why does the other person always get stuck picking up the tab on dates?
What should you not talk about on a first date -- especially if you want to ensure a second date?

470: Scott Harrison | Give up Your Birthday Dec 16, 2015

Show notes

Scott Harrison (@scottharrison) has convinced more than 20,000 people to give up their birthday presents to raise money for people who need access to clean, safe water in developing countries. And in only nine years, charity: water has raised more than $200M from one million supporters. But his goals are far more ambitious...
The Cheat Sheet:
While most Americans take access to clean water for granted, 663 million people (nearly 1 in 10 people in the world) live without it.
Without clean water, people suffer from countless health problems (like diseases, parasites, and tumors), a lack of education (especially teenage girls who have to take a week off of school every month for lack of washrooms), and a lack of income (especially women who have to spend hours every day traveling to gather it).
On a soul-searching trip to Africa, ex-club promoter Scott Harrison started charity: water to help bring clean water to these suffering millions -- because he witnessed firsthand what happens to people without it.
A six-year-old named Lory gave up his birthday presents one year, asking family and friends to donate $6 each, instead, to help build clean water projects. He raised $2,386. How much could you raise?
How did Scott start charity: water from his friend's couch while $30,000 in debt?
And so much more...

468: Kabir Sehgal | The Darwin of Dollars Dec 09, 2015

Show notes

Kabir Sehgal (@HiKabir) looks at biological, psychological, and external factors that help us make sense of how we interact with our dollars in his book Coined: the Rich Life of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us.
The Cheat Sheet:
What happens in your brain when you think about money? There's a science for that, and it's called neuroeconomics.
The anticipation of gaining money tends to provoke a stronger reaction than having money -- part of our survival wiring?
The way we deal with money is coded on a genetic level -- in fact, about 20 percent of your credit score is influenced by your genetics.
Why should you pay with cash if you're trying to save money (beyond the obvious reason of avoiding excessive interest payments)?
Why is the sun a good business barometer?
And so much more...

You don't have to be a brilliant inventor to solve today's problems; examine how existing systems can be modified and combined for new solutions.

466: Jesse Itzler | The 100 Mile Man Dec 02, 2015

Show notes

Jesse Itzler (@the100MileMan) is a powerhouse of boundless energy with a rigid discipline for time management who has never missed a day of work in 25 years. Still, he hired a Navy SEAL to help him up his routine's game and then wrote a book about it -- efficient!
The Cheat Sheet:
Loyalty is a rare quality in business today; Jesse tells a story about a now-famous former intern to demonstrate why it's still important.
You can achieve more than you believe -- when you think you're done, you're only 40% done.
Sometimes it pays to get your foot in the door first and figure it out later.
Why is a big breakfast the least judicious meal of the day?
Don't forget to make fun a priority!
And so much more...
