This was supposed to be my first podcast! Now it’s just an image 🤣 Right after @Daniel Garza hopped on I found out you’re not able to record from the Google meet app on the iPhone. I thought I had a genius workaround of just using the built in screen record feature. But apparently screen record does not capture audio! So now I have an hour long video of two talking heads with no audio 🤦‍♂️👏🤣 Still had a great time connecting with Daniel though, learned a lot about why his community feels so free. He truly wants The Story Renaissance to be a place where people come to write, at all levels and in whatever style. If you enjoy writing on any level and would like to do it more check out his community!

You cannot bring massive, determined energy to your work blocks if your biology is in a state of exhaustion or stress. State management is a strategic requirement. Create a simple 5-minute ritual to shift your energy before you open your laptop. Use music, movement, or positive visualization to move from a state of protection to a state of high-value creation. Reclaim your time by managing your state first.

I focus entirely on Connection Marketing: building authentic relationships and trust. Many approach a new community with transactional intent, but real authority comes from being a Connection Curator. By integrating our integrity into every single daily activity, we make authentic contributions before we ask for a conversion. Integrity is confirmed by action.

That’s why it’s the mediocre method. It doesn’t need to be great to get started. Starting is better than analyzing! What are you starting this week?
