1 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: What shaken Emily Abadi. Here you are listening to five 2 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: Minute Friday from Hurdle helpe you out a good week? 3 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: I you know what? How did I describe this? Earlier? 4 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: I was sitting at the gym next to a girlfriend 5 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: and I said to her that I feel as though 6 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: I have been sprinting on a treadmill this whole month. 7 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: I cannot believe it's already January twenty seventh, on the 8 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: day that this episode comes out, and somehow I miraculously 9 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: haven't fallen off of the tread And that's really it, right. 10 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: I feel as the life is moving at one thousand 11 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: miles an hour and I'm doing the best I can 12 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: with what I have, And honestly, that's all that I 13 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: can ask myself at this moment. For five Minute Friday 14 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: this week, I want to talk about energy. Now. It's funny. 15 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: I hear myself saying that out loud, and I remember 16 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: years ago when I used to hear individuals talk about energy. 17 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: I thought it was like a little goopy, a little 18 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: woo wooye. Insert funny adjective here to describe how it's 19 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: kind of whimsical, right, And now, having spent a lot 20 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: of time immersed in influential teachings from authors that I admire, 21 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: ranging from Angela Duckworth and Gretchen Rubin to mel Robbins 22 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: and James Clear. So many of these individuals that I 23 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: admire touch on the concept of energy often, and so 24 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: it is something that I have become much more accepting of. 25 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: So this week on the show, that's exactly what I 26 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: want to talk about. I want to talk about energy. Specifically, 27 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: energy attracts like energy, So what does that mean. That 28 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: means that if you go into your day and you 29 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: are super positive, then it's likely that you are going 30 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: to interact with and find positive things around you, Whereas 31 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: if you go into your day and you have a 32 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: negative attitude, it is likely that you are going to 33 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: easily be able to find things wrong with the world 34 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: that you interact with around you. To clearly paint a picture, 35 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: the positive person could be sitting at a diner and 36 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: look outside and notice an elderly couple helping one another 37 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: across the street and think about how lovely that is. 38 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: Whereas they could be sitting across the table eating with 39 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: someone who is negative and they look out the window 40 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: and they don't even notice the happily engaged elderly couple. 41 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: Instead they notice like a dirty puddle of water on 42 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: the side of the road. And so I say all 43 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: of this because I have really been conscious lately of 44 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: the energy I'm putting out into the world, knowing so 45 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: wholeheartedly what it is that I want to receive. I've 46 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: been going out of my way to spend time with 47 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: people that make me feel filled up, like they're filling 48 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: up my cup. And I can say from the conversations 49 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: that I have with these individuals that it's a mutual thing. 50 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: And so I ask you today what is it that 51 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: you want to receive? And when you answer that question, 52 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: ask yourself what is it that I am putting out 53 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: into the world. So transitioning into the listener prompt, what 54 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: is it that you want to receive? And the second part, 55 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: what is it that you're putting out into the world. 56 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: It's food for thought, right, and and sometimes putting out 57 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: what you want back can feel like a challenge, And 58 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: that's okay. It's kind of like the Alexipopus rule of thirds, right, 59 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: Like a third of the time training is going to 60 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: absolutely suck. A third of the time it's going to 61 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: feel okay, and a third of the time it's just 62 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: going to click. And so while I can recommend or 63 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: suggest that you try to meet each day with optimism 64 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: and a positive attitude, I recognize that's not what always 65 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: is going to happen. So with that said, what is 66 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: within your control to show up and seek out what 67 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: it is that you are after, knowing what you have 68 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: to offer in return? And now a listener question. 69 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: Hi Emily de sis Nisha. First of all, I want 70 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: to thank you for all the amating content that you 71 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 2: keep on creating. I'm a life coach and since you 72 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 2: have started Studding to become my life coach, I can 73 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: see the difference in the way that you ask your 74 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: questions from your guests, and it is truly beautiful. My 75 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: question for you is what are your recommendations for someone 76 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 2: who wants to start podcasting and what are the basic 77 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: tools and equipments that you would recomment me buying. And 78 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: I would really appreciated if you can also like add 79 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: some links maybe from Amazon. Thank you so much and 80 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 2: I look forward to hearing your recommendations. 81 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: I love this motivation. Hi Nusha, thank you so much 82 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: for your question. I'm excited to answer it. I do 83 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: have a course that goes into this in depth. It 84 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: is a hurdle session. I'll link that hurdle session called 85 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: intro to Podcasting in the show notes so you can 86 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: check it out. In addition, however, when it comes to podcasting, 87 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: literally the only thing that you need to start off 88 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: is an inexpensive USB microphone. For the first year or 89 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: two of Hurdle, I used a blue Yetti Snowball microphone. 90 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: It retails on Amazon for ninety nine ninety nine and 91 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: it was the perfect low frills piece of equipment for 92 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: me to get this thing going. In addition to a microphone, 93 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: you may want a good pair of headphones, although the 94 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: corded Apple headphones will do just fine. And then beyond 95 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: that you'll need some sort of editing tool on your laptop. 96 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: So software I use Garage Band. It comes free with 97 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: my Mac. There are also other programs including Adobe and Audacity, 98 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: and now you can even edit on some of the 99 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: various hosting platforms out there. The most important piece of 100 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: advice I can offer, however, to any aspiring podcaster is 101 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: be really clear on what your goal is by podcasting 102 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: and what it is that you want to offer your 103 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: audience so so often will come to me and they say, 104 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: I want a podcast, but I just don't know, Like 105 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: there's so many out there. And the thing is is 106 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: that there's only one you. You are the only you 107 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: that there is. So don't let the fact that there 108 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: are a lot of podcasts in the world deter you 109 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: from sharing your lights. But with that said, know what 110 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: it is that you want to share and be really 111 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: clear on that. Ask yourself, why why am I saying this? 112 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: What is my goal? And that's really going to help 113 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: you on your journey to creating consistent content. I will 114 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: again share some of my go to podcasting tools in 115 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: the show notes with Amazon links as requested, and again 116 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: that Hurdle session on intron of Podcasting will also be 117 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: in there for those of you that are interested.
