Dan Sullivan and Joe Polish re: “What’s In It for Them”

Last week, I had the great pleasure of hearing Joe Polish speak for more than 3 hours. He hung out with members of a paid mastermind group I’m in, and he delivered one mind-blowing insight after another. I can’t share the content from that members-only session. 

But I can share this discussion Joe had with Dan Sullivan on their podcast 10xTalk

They cover a lot of ground in this 1-hour episode. Here are just a few points covered (as noted on the podcast website): 

• The core mindset for being more deeply connected with yourself and other people
• Important steps you can take to be financially, mentally, and physically better off
• Spot “takers”, people with agendas, and people who don’t have your interest at heart
• How to transform suffering into bonding and experience more WOO and less ARGH!

Enjoy!

Tech Tip
How to Change iPhone Settings to get Rid of HEIC

If you have an iPhone, you’ve probably noticed the camera, by default, saves photos in a format called HEIC. It’s actually a better format than .jpg (smaller file size for the same quality).

But here’s the problem: You have to edit the photo and export it in a new format (.jpg, .png, .gif) if you want to share it with someone who does have an Apple device (or if you want to post it somewhere). 

If you want to avoid that hassle, you can set your iPhone to save photos in .jpg format by default. 

Here’s an article that shows you how — and outlines the pros and cons.

re: Dating and Content Marketing

I pulled this smart quote from an article on the Hubspot blog,,,

“Content marketing is really like a first date. If all you do is talk about yourself, there won’t be a second date.”
