It's not about the number of books you read, it's what you gain from them. Here's why reading the same book multiple times is more valuable: 👉 Your understanding of the book changes as you evolve as a person 👉 You can derive different insights and apply them to your life, aligning with your goals Read books with the intention of gaining knowledge and applying it to your life. #BookWorm #ReadingChallenge #PersonalDevelopment _____________ 📚  RESOURCES Curated templates and frameworks: https://www.grantcarlile.com/resources _____________ 🧔🏽 ABOUT GRANT Design is my approach, alignment is my goal.

The people who get the work done are the backbone of any event. For me, it's the road crew who make everything happen. They have a depth of knowledge about all the equipment and the process that is invaluable to the success of any event.

In robotics camp, we did a process activity where campers would write out a process for a mentor to grab a cup of water and drink it. It never turned out the way we intended, but that was the fun part. We had to iterate and rewrite directions until we achieved our goal. The key takeaway? Continuously iterate and improve your processes until you achieve your goals. #ProcessImprovement #RoboticsCamp #Iteration ➡️  CHAPTERS 00:00 Grant Carlile #design #startup #running #robotics #ecosystem #education #strategy 00:10 Process activity 00:20 Grab a cup of water 00:30 They would have to iterate 00:40 Continuing to iterate _____________ 📚  RESOURCES Curated templates and frameworks: https://www.grantcarlile.com/resources _____________ 🧔🏽 ABOUT GRANT Design is my approach, alignment is my goal.

Full transcript available at grantcarlile.com Leave me a voice message https://anchor.fm/grantcarlile/message Reply to me on twitter @design006 I was thinking about the extrapolation of people you come in contact with in the journeys there on with the place Journey there on everyone's at a different place which is fine everyone's on their own Journey which is fine I was extremely was reflecting on different personas the different places where people might be along their Journey along their path different places where people can hear things or they think they know things they don't actually don't have that experience and they think they know things cuz something else is going well and that gives them confidence and so they push that confidence that kind of grows in broad shoulders symbolically into other parts their life in a spills over in they think everything else is going just as well or better than it is cuz some things are going well with that helps us build confidence ride and build capacity with ourselves which I like which is good and then you go out and you get more experience and you build more confidence cuz then you realize new things in that helps you build confidence in other things that whole idea of where people are at in there and they're released not relationship in their proximity to different parts of experience in in in the singularity of experiences of I have this one I have that one I have this one I’ve strung together multiple experiences to create knowledge or wisdom out of it in a door I'm strung together different strings of knowledge of wisdom that I've had an over those I've weaved a blanket of how things go and understanding and then taking that and now there's multiple layers of these blankets keeping me warm around the ideas and we're all along that Journey, we’re all in different places in proximity to things that other people have done that's all fine it's not good or bad it's right is its its understanding its its understanding where each other are at what I'm doing is trying to understand that and take that extrapolate that two groups bigger and bigger groups across Generations generations of individuals of families of countries of nations in another world in America were very young Nation and someone was telling me about we don't teach all the parts of History and there are parts of history that it'd be great to teach about America and what we've gone through so that people have the context and it just reminds me that the more experience you have what happens as you educate yourself on the experiences of others who have come before you that's what kind of that knowledge Gathering becomes once you get your own experience you want more around the things you've uncovered in discovered and the way you do that without having to go through at yourself is by reading from listening to other people and oftentimes we can't predict the future rather we read a book that someone else wrote about a similar experience they had we listen to audio recordings of explaining deciphering unpacking experiences they've had we watch a video or a movie however it it's filmed around someone explaining their experiences similar to what we've had and what we do with our own and we try and make sense in and understand further the things were going through and that’s knowledge, that’s experience, taking that to a a group level of whatever size family County State country region hemisphere taking that knowledge of history and making sure that we have what's....

From the End of the Bar - Tyler and I talking computers.

Tonight from the end of the bar we talk about counting money, grievances we all have, Porter’s thoughts, and where Jen wants to go in the near future.

Each night that Jen closes I come in to be there with her. Join us on the podcast as we finish up closing the bar, chat about the night, and encounter ridiculous antics. Coming to you from Hammer & Quill in the east bank village near the river in South Bend Indiana, From the end of the bar is for fun : ) join us.

Jen closes the bar late at night, I am there closing with her. Listen in for the conversations that ensue.

Everyday we go about this thing called life and everywhere we go there are opportunities for efficiencies. Cultivate them. In money, in time, and even in your words. Prioritize your words as a subset of interaction, also prioritize nonverbal and listening skills during interactions; then act accordingly. Big rocks-little rocks, right?

Daily routines give us structure. On this episode I talk about how my routine is good for me and how my priorities become easier to manage as a result. Constraints breed creativity, similarly, daily routines as constraints, breed opportunities to creatively exemplify your priorities.

Jen and I discussed a little bit about who to reach out to for the TEDx Micro events here in South Bend.

Documenting the conversations you have with your customers will speak truth about your business, which, if your business is good, might lead to more sales opportunities.

What landmarks taught you something new, brought new understanding, or expanded the world for you? Possibilities are exciting and a responsibility.
