you are there And then I'm going to have to get
00:00:31.379 --> 00:00:36.640
some expert help with LinkedIn. OK. And I don't
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:42.140
see it live on my LinkedIn. So hold on. It should
00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:47.799
be. OK. Let me go see here. Hold on. You guys,
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.920
StreamYard, I don't know what is going on. But
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.280
it definitely, we are live. I see. Oh, I see
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.719

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.140
so good. Perfect. All right, so everyone welcome
00:01:00.140 --> 00:01:04.599
to Adrian Barker no prep needed which means I
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.400
don't know who Mitch is I have no clue so I don't
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.099
even know who Mitch is You have to introduce
00:01:11.099 --> 00:01:13.599
yourself and I'm gonna say I know about Mitch
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:17.049
three things. I know he's brave I know he's bald.
00:01:17.670 --> 00:01:20.269
And he's bald! So Mitch, tell us about yourself.
00:01:20.890 --> 00:01:24.310
Okay, so basically what I do is for the last
00:01:24.310 --> 00:01:27.030
seven or eight years I've been pulling together
00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:29.769
information on how our brains make decisions
00:01:29.769 --> 00:01:34.680
with the hopes of reaching five million people
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.000
so that we can change the world. So everybody
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.879
could be more resourceful, resilient and collaborative.
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.439
And I think that if we had a critical mass of
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.379
people doing that, then all these issues that
00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:47.400
we face, we would start solving them rather than
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.019
constantly going at each other. And in the process,
00:01:50.459 --> 00:01:53.239
the people who are resourceful, resilient and
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:54.939
collaborative, they're happier, they're more
00:01:54.939 --> 00:01:57.560
effective, they're leading better lives. So that's
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.420
a side benefit. I love that. So how many years?
00:02:01.659 --> 00:02:07.920
So I started doing this in 2017 is when I really
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.020
started formally doing this. And then I've been
00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:12.259
doing this full time really for about three years.
00:02:13.180 --> 00:02:17.960
Okay, so this whole mind shifting, when did mind
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.060
shifting become a real conversation? Well, that's
00:02:22.060 --> 00:02:25.780
a really good question because I actually started
00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:28.659
off calling it sense making. Because I figured
00:02:28.659 --> 00:02:30.500
this is how the brain makes sense of different
00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:34.939
things, but we have really on my wife's side
00:02:34.939 --> 00:02:39.539
a cousin who is in marketing in education and
00:02:39.539 --> 00:02:41.960
We were out for dinner one night and she says
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.300
sense -making Nobody knows what that is. You
00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:46.060
need to change the name You should call it mind
00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:49.000
-shifting and so that was four years ago. And
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:53.770
so I call it mind -shifting Oh, I love that.
00:02:53.949 --> 00:02:56.210
Oh, I love, love, love that you had someone that
00:02:56.210 --> 00:02:58.469
didn't yes you to death and say, oh yeah, okay,
00:02:58.469 --> 00:03:00.629
that's a good name and came up with something
00:03:00.629 --> 00:03:03.830
that would make more sense. And that's a good
00:03:03.830 --> 00:03:06.449
example of why feedback is so important, right?
00:03:06.629 --> 00:03:09.810
Yep, yep. Especially feedback from women, you
00:03:09.810 --> 00:03:14.689
know? 100%. If that is your audience, 100%. Okay,
00:03:14.789 --> 00:03:16.870
I want to have a little fun if you don't mind.
00:03:16.870 --> 00:03:21.110
I want to show off your website and I'm going
00:03:21.110 --> 00:03:24.900
to share my screen. And I'm going to go to your
00:03:24.900 --> 00:03:29.520
website and hold on mind shifting with Mitch.
00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:31.639
I'm going to share it. All right. Do you see
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:36.719
your website? Yep. I love this. Okay. So I'm
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.539
going to, I'm going to like, this is my new thing.
00:03:38.539 --> 00:03:40.819
Cause now I want to know more. So I love that
00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:43.659
you have a video on your site. Okay. So you are
00:03:43.659 --> 00:03:46.560
an educator. Is that an educator that you used
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.580
to be an educator, the school system, or you're
00:03:48.580 --> 00:03:53.159
educating people? So I've never actually been
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.840
a teacher in a school system, but I've been working
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:01.780
in education since around 2003. And I was in
00:04:01.780 --> 00:04:05.620
corporate training from 1981 to around 2000.
00:04:07.539 --> 00:04:09.620
Awesome. Awesome. So that kind of gives an idea.
00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:12.539
And then an author. Oh, I'm going to go right
00:04:12.539 --> 00:04:17.639
over to the book. Oh, juicy gold, juicy gold.
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.930
I just hit the jackpot. Ring, ring, ring. And
00:04:21.930 --> 00:04:25.230
I will say, I've just finished writing the second
00:04:25.230 --> 00:04:28.529
book. It's at an editor now. And that's going
00:04:28.529 --> 00:04:33.209
to be Mindshifting Volume 3, Conflict and Collaboration.
00:04:34.050 --> 00:04:35.769
I love this. So let's go back to volume one.
00:04:36.569 --> 00:04:39.430
So stop your brain from sabotaging your happiness
00:04:39.430 --> 00:04:43.009
and success. Can you give me some examples? Sure.
00:04:43.790 --> 00:04:47.040
So this first book is on the first element of
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.000
mind shifting which is being resourceful and
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.779
basically being resourceful means to recognize
00:04:52.779 --> 00:04:56.139
when your mind it when your brain is leading
00:04:56.139 --> 00:04:58.860
you down a hole like one of the things that all
00:04:58.860 --> 00:05:01.959
of our brains have is these saboteurs sometimes
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.860
may be called part x which is always criticizing
00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:07.300
us like you can't do this you shouldn't be doing
00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:10.100
this and to be able to recognize you know something
00:05:10.100 --> 00:05:14.800
that's just my part x criticizing me, making
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.040
me miserable in order for me not to make any
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.120
changes and to kind of laugh at it. And then
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.899
to say, but you know something, I'm going to
00:05:22.899 --> 00:05:25.360
go ahead and try something anyhow. So that's
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.660
an example of mind shifting, recognizing the
00:05:27.660 --> 00:05:30.779
brain when it's when it's stopping us, quieting
00:05:30.779 --> 00:05:34.079
that voice down and then tapping into our resourcefulness.
00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:36.980
Well, so it's more than just by saying to myself,
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.500
stop it, Adrian, just knock it off, get back
00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:42.720
on track. Well, so the interesting thing is that
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.860
That act, when you say stop it, your brain is
00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:49.339
going to fight you, right? It's like, what do
00:05:49.339 --> 00:05:50.939
you mean telling me to stop it? You know, no,
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.019
you stop it, you know, and you get into this
00:05:53.019 --> 00:05:55.600
fight with your own brain and you're kind of
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.060
using up your energy, forcing yourself to do
00:05:59.060 --> 00:06:01.220
something that maybe part of you doesn't want.
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.939
But there are other ways of either. First quieting
00:06:05.939 --> 00:06:07.939
that part of the brain if it's really really
00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:09.879
loud like you know You're afraid of doing something
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.879
or you have hang high anxiety then you know quieting
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.540
that part of the brain might be some distraction
00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:20.720
might be Mindfulness might be going for a walk
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.360
might be listening to music and then once it's
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.139
quiet like opening up to Possibilities like if
00:06:26.139 --> 00:06:28.160
you're sure that you can't do something instead
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:29.879
of saying come on Mitch You know, you can do
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:31.980
this is to come back and say well, you know something
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.259
Perhaps I can. And just when you open up your
00:06:36.259 --> 00:06:39.740
mind to possibilities, your prefrontal cortex,
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:41.660
you know, the resourceful parts of your brain,
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.959
can't help but start coming up with ways that
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.319
you can do it. And then, you know, it may be
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.079
that you can't do it right now, but maybe you
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:51.800
have to learn something, maybe you have to ask
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:53.560
people, maybe you have to get some help, but
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.160
it'll start coming up with ways that you can.
00:06:55.970 --> 00:06:58.370
You know, I have a question for you. I was years
00:06:58.370 --> 00:07:02.370
ago, around 2017 actually, I was in a conference
00:07:02.370 --> 00:07:05.149
and it was for classroom teachers, even though
00:07:05.149 --> 00:07:07.050
I was a teacher, it was about teaching us how
00:07:07.050 --> 00:07:10.009
to work with so many different children brains,
00:07:10.850 --> 00:07:13.250
so much neurodiversity in the room classroom.
00:07:13.529 --> 00:07:15.050
But one of the things that the woman had said
00:07:15.050 --> 00:07:19.170
is you can't feel fear and you can't feel...
00:07:19.019 --> 00:07:22.879
like fear and happiness or gratitude at the same
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.259
time. You can't feel like she made it sound like
00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:27.420
you can't have two emotions at the same time.
00:07:27.420 --> 00:07:30.180
So if you're fearful, then start thinking of
00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:32.459
all the things that you're grateful for. And
00:07:32.459 --> 00:07:35.600
it does work for me. It does shift. But when
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.879
I talk to other people about that, they're like,
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.120
no, you can have two things going on at once.
00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:42.040
So I'm kind of curious. What does that look like
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.579
to you? So for me, it's you know, I basically
00:07:45.579 --> 00:07:49.019
it's a very simplified model would. divide the
00:07:49.019 --> 00:07:52.040
brain into two parts. There's the survival parts
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:56.220
or the limbic system. And that part of the brain
00:07:56.220 --> 00:07:59.819
was designed so that the organism could survive.
00:08:00.139 --> 00:08:03.360
And then there's the parts that developed with
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.319
mammals and mostly developed in the US, which
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.879
is like your prefrontal cortex. And that's your
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:12.079
critical thinking and your creative parts. That
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.519
part of the brain really only operates when you're
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.839
in a mode that you're feeling curious. or playful,
00:08:19.939 --> 00:08:24.759
or happy. And that limbic part is part of the
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.120
brain. It can operate whether you're happy or
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.439
you're not. But when your limbic part of the
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.539
brain is fearful or anxious, it shuts down your
00:08:33.539 --> 00:08:36.659
ability to be happy. or curious, and it shuts
00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:38.879
down the ability of the prefrontal cortex to
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:42.159
work because it floods your whole system with
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.820
stress hormones, cortisol and adrenaline. And
00:08:44.820 --> 00:08:47.659
once those happen, you're really focused on whatever
00:08:47.659 --> 00:08:51.460
it is that the limbic parts of the system, limbic
00:08:51.460 --> 00:08:52.860
parts of your brain have decided that you need
00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:56.019
to do, but you're not open to anything else.
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.460
And so, you know, it's hard for me to say you
00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:03.080
can't be happy and sad at the same time. I think
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.100
you probably could. But you can't be creative
00:09:06.100 --> 00:09:11.419
and fearful at the same time. Oh, that is interesting.
00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:15.440
OK, so so I want to go into like what you what
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:19.659
you how this can help someone. But first, what
00:09:19.659 --> 00:09:21.960
happens to our brain when we're going down? Like
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:23.879
how many times have you heard someone say, I
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:25.820
really woke up and I was going to get some work
00:09:25.820 --> 00:09:27.860
done and then I ended up on Tic Tac. And next
00:09:27.860 --> 00:09:30.960
thing you know, it's four hours later and I got
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:35.169
nothing done. And do we have control over that?
00:09:35.529 --> 00:09:38.389
Because when people say it, it almost feels like
00:09:38.389 --> 00:09:45.029
they can't rip themselves away from TikTok. There's
00:09:45.029 --> 00:09:46.850
so many things. The brain is so fascinating.
00:09:47.049 --> 00:09:48.850
It's not like you can say, oh, the brain always
00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:53.009
does this or the brain always does that. There's
00:09:53.009 --> 00:09:56.509
two factors here that I'd like to bring up. One
00:09:56.509 --> 00:10:01.340
is that There's there's happy hormones that are
00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:03.720
also released in your brain for certain activities
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:09.039
dopamine oxytocin serotonin the endorphins and
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.860
specifically the one Dopamine when it gets released
00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:15.940
in your brain It's like telling your brain you're
00:10:15.940 --> 00:10:17.980
about to do something that you're going to like
00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:21.440
which in general is a good thing but with things
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:26.620
like addictive behavior that Hormone gets released
00:10:26.620 --> 00:10:28.539
and so you do it then it gets released again
00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:30.679
and you do it and and you're not really thinking
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:32.840
about it So you kind of overdo it and you kind
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:38.519
of become addicted to it. So it's that Over release
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:43.080
of dopamine that's causing us, you know to do
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.659
these things that we do all the time We think
00:10:45.659 --> 00:10:47.879
we're gonna be happy, but we're always chasing
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.059
the next the next thing that's gonna make us
00:10:50.059 --> 00:10:52.740
happier And then the second thing I'd like to
00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:59.129
bring up is this ability to be self -aware or
00:10:59.129 --> 00:11:05.230
metacognition is another term for it. And understanding
00:11:05.230 --> 00:11:09.350
what's going on in your brain is the first step
00:11:09.350 --> 00:11:13.990
to improving. So if you can work on your ability
00:11:13.990 --> 00:11:16.850
to be aware of what you're doing and you say,
00:11:17.070 --> 00:11:21.509
oh my gosh, I now am pleasing people all the
00:11:21.509 --> 00:11:24.769
time or I now am scrolling on social media all
00:11:24.769 --> 00:11:29.129
the time or I'm working all the time and ignoring
00:11:29.129 --> 00:11:30.929
my family. You know, whatever it is that you
00:11:30.929 --> 00:11:34.110
keep on doing because of this dopamine release,
00:11:34.190 --> 00:11:36.750
as soon as you become aware of it, you then have
00:11:36.750 --> 00:11:39.649
a chance of changing it. But if you don't develop
00:11:39.649 --> 00:11:43.389
the capacity to be metacognitive, to be self
00:11:43.389 --> 00:11:45.330
-aware, then you're just going to persist in
00:11:45.330 --> 00:11:48.629
doing it. And sometimes that's enough, and sometimes
00:11:48.629 --> 00:11:50.789
you need more of a push in order to get away
00:11:50.789 --> 00:11:53.889
from whatever that behavior is. I love this.
00:11:53.950 --> 00:11:55.990
I love that there's more conversation on the
00:11:55.990 --> 00:11:58.330
mind. All right, let's look. So available print,
00:11:58.450 --> 00:12:02.850
audio, and Kindle. Beautiful. Hitting cognitive
00:12:02.850 --> 00:12:05.769
patterns that shape our decision habits and emotions.
00:12:06.659 --> 00:12:09.379
So after someone reads the book, do you have
00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:12.179
any case studies by the way, someone like start
00:12:12.179 --> 00:12:14.620
and then after reading the book or talking with
00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:18.120
you or taking, I don't know, do you offer something
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.259
else besides the book? Yeah, I'd love to hear
00:12:20.259 --> 00:12:24.100
more about that. So I really resisted writing
00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:28.000
the book because I've been teaching courses on
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:29.899
mind shifting and the book is based on the first
00:12:29.899 --> 00:12:34.379
course. There's three courses at this point.
00:12:35.870 --> 00:12:38.370
It just seems to me like you can't learn how
00:12:38.370 --> 00:12:41.110
to ride a bike by reading a book. How can you
00:12:41.110 --> 00:12:43.129
learn how to control your mind by reading a book?
00:12:43.490 --> 00:12:45.570
And so that's why I, you know, people said you
00:12:45.570 --> 00:12:46.950
got to write a book. You got to put it in a book.
00:12:47.009 --> 00:12:48.549
And I'm like, people are going to learn from
00:12:48.549 --> 00:12:51.110
it. But the thing that convinced me to write
00:12:51.110 --> 00:12:53.269
the book was people also said, look, you want
00:12:53.269 --> 00:12:56.610
to go to states and you want the states to make
00:12:56.610 --> 00:12:59.490
the course available for their teachers. No state
00:12:59.490 --> 00:13:02.769
is going to believe that Mitch Weisberg has any
00:13:02.769 --> 00:13:05.330
credibility. But if you write a book. you're
00:13:05.330 --> 00:13:07.309
going to have a lot more credibility. So then
00:13:07.309 --> 00:13:09.190
I started writing the book and it's like, as
00:13:09.190 --> 00:13:11.090
soon as you get into it, I don't want to write
00:13:11.090 --> 00:13:14.090
a book that's just going to allow me to say I
00:13:14.090 --> 00:13:15.669
write a book. I want to write a book that's really
00:13:15.669 --> 00:13:18.950
going to help people. So I wrote this book with
00:13:18.950 --> 00:13:21.330
the techniques and actually more techniques than
00:13:21.330 --> 00:13:24.110
are actually in the course, but I was still pretty
00:13:24.110 --> 00:13:26.950
skeptical. What I found is that when people read
00:13:26.950 --> 00:13:30.730
the book, even when they read the book the first
00:13:30.730 --> 00:13:34.389
time, They always pick up some activities. One
00:13:34.389 --> 00:13:38.769
of the activities was to be able to visualize
00:13:38.769 --> 00:13:41.470
what it's like when you succeed something. And
00:13:41.470 --> 00:13:47.590
I got a call from somebody who read the book
00:13:47.590 --> 00:13:49.690
who was saying, you know, it was interesting.
00:13:50.169 --> 00:13:52.870
It was winter. I did not want to work out. I
00:13:52.870 --> 00:13:55.450
came up with all these excuses why I shouldn't
00:13:55.450 --> 00:14:00.090
go out running. And then... What I did is I visualized,
00:14:00.190 --> 00:14:03.269
well, if I run anyhow, how am I going to feel
00:14:03.269 --> 00:14:06.409
when I finish running? And if I finish running,
00:14:06.850 --> 00:14:09.330
and after I take a shower and I talk to people
00:14:09.330 --> 00:14:12.070
in the office about how I didn't want to run
00:14:12.070 --> 00:14:14.570
and I ran anyhow, what are people going to say?
00:14:14.669 --> 00:14:18.110
And he says, that motivated me to run. So I know
00:14:18.110 --> 00:14:21.409
people can pick up those techniques. But I also
00:14:21.409 --> 00:14:24.200
find that the people who learn the most read
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.740
the book two or three times, because you read
00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:29.120
the book, you learn a couple of techniques, you
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.320
read it a second time, it's like, oh, this goes
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.440
deeper. And I also got an email from a woman
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.860
who suffers from high anxiety, and her anxiety
00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:42.100
is so bad, she's been hospitalized for weeks
00:14:42.100 --> 00:14:45.500
because of her anxiety. And she said, you know,
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.440
I've read this book three times, and I'll tell
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:51.960
you, one of the things that it did, now I understand
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:54.840
what my therapists are telling me like they kept
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:56.740
on telling me this is happening and this is happening
00:14:56.740 --> 00:15:00.879
and I really didn't understand it now I had the
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.000
vocabulary and I understand what they're saying
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.940
and what I've picked up is I can tell when my
00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:11.340
anxiety is just starting to rise and I can use
00:15:11.340 --> 00:15:14.379
some of the activities in the book like mindfulness
00:15:14.379 --> 00:15:17.639
or meditation, I can use different activities
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.960
and I can calm my mind and sometimes I can do
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:24.100
that by myself. If I can't, I found that I can
00:15:24.100 --> 00:15:27.019
pick it up early enough that I can call my therapist
00:15:27.019 --> 00:15:29.980
and they can usually give me some stuff or they've
00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:32.019
always been able to since I read the book to
00:15:32.019 --> 00:15:34.220
be able to give me stuff for me to calm down
00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:36.399
without having to be hospitalized. So that's
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.139
what the book has done for me. Those are two
00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:41.980
incidences. I love that. I'm thinking right now
00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:46.799
too, is it an easy enough read for a teenager,
00:15:47.419 --> 00:15:53.779
a young adult? So I think that certainly a 17,
00:15:53.840 --> 00:16:00.460
18 year old can read it and learn from it. I
00:16:00.460 --> 00:16:02.860
have a lot of nieces and nephews and great nieces
00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:05.440
and nephews, and I've given it to 13 -year -olds
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:07.480
and 14 -year -olds. I think it's a little bit
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.899
of a stretch because a lot, well, for a number
00:16:10.899 --> 00:16:13.559
of reasons, but one of the reasons is that a
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.720
lot of the examples are really geared towards
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:20.139
adults. But that's why in the courses, I'm actually,
00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:22.100
most of the people who come to my courses are
00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:25.740
teachers. And so if I teach teachers these techniques,
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:27.840
it helps them in their life, it helps them in
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.679
their classroom. But they learn the techniques
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.399
so that they can reach the kids. And they change
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.779
it so that instead of using prefrontal cortex,
00:16:37.860 --> 00:16:43.259
they use upper brain. They use phrases that kids
00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:46.919
can learn. And I've had teachers in pre -K take
00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:50.279
the course and adapt some of the things in the
00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:53.740
book or the course so that young kids can start
00:16:53.740 --> 00:16:56.519
becoming much more aware of their mental states.
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.299
Yeah, that's so interesting to me. I mean, I'm
00:17:00.299 --> 00:17:03.700
63 and I'm just now like Understanding where
00:17:03.700 --> 00:17:06.519
my brain has been. It's funny because I've always
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.539
thought like doesn't like you like you only know
00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:11.019
what you know I remember being younger thinking
00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:13.059
doesn't everyone go to bed and think about what
00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:15.859
they did that day and doesn't everyone Self -reflect
00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:17.599
on what they could have done what they liked
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.200
what they done, but they didn't like what they've
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.539
done like That when then that was when there
00:17:23.539 --> 00:17:25.440
was no talk of mind shifting there was no talk
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.339
of manifest Well, maybe there was manifestation,
00:17:27.339 --> 00:17:29.779
but I I you know Maybe I thought that was nothing
00:17:29.779 --> 00:17:31.660
that would be something that I would want to
00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:34.680
learn But I find this so interesting because
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.440
as you get older you start to realize. Oh, yeah,
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:42.160
I can stop it but what's what I'm curious about
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:49.019
is What about Mitch? Not you being negative,
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:51.960
but the negative influences around you talking
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:54.140
to a friend. You're feeling happy Like I'm feeling
00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:56.980
all happy all good. I made some cookies. I'm
00:17:56.980 --> 00:18:00.000
in a good mood ring ring the phone rings and
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.680
all of a sudden I feel like they're sabotaging
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.039
me because now I'm hearing their stories and
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.779
I'm like, oh gosh, is that negativity going to
00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:12.099
rub off on me because misery loves company. So
00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:14.460
what's going to happen? And then how do I do
00:18:14.460 --> 00:18:16.059
it? Do I just hang up and say, nope, nope, nope,
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:17.619
not going to go with your negativity. You're
00:18:17.619 --> 00:18:21.779
going to make my brain negative click or Is there
00:18:21.779 --> 00:18:23.660
any lessons that would help me with that? Cause
00:18:23.660 --> 00:18:26.000
I really think about that a lot. There's so many
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.019
people and I'm like, if I'm working so hard for
00:18:29.019 --> 00:18:32.680
happiness and success, I don't want even if I
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.480
like, I want to help a friend, but I want that
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:38.039
to become where I become negative. So I'd love
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:40.079
your advice on that if you wouldn't mind. Okay.
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.960
So there are tips in this book about that. And
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:46.279
I will say that the second book, which is on
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:49.039
conflict and collaboration, The whole book is
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:51.319
about how you interact with other people and
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:53.720
one of the big premises of that book, which is
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:56.000
not on the website yet, because it'll be out
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.980
in October, but one of the big premises in that
00:18:58.980 --> 00:19:01.160
book is that if you really want to influence
00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:04.099
another person and you're selling them, you're
00:19:04.099 --> 00:19:06.220
managing them, you're coaching them, you're parenting
00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:08.960
them, you're in a relationship with them. You
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.299
have to be in resourceful mode if you want to
00:19:12.299 --> 00:19:14.599
have a long -term effect on them. So how do you
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:17.240
steal yourself to be in resourceful mode? But
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.000
a lot of that is also the stealing yourself is
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.559
in this book because are you basically, not you
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:27.740
personally, but as a human being, are we saying
00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:31.220
we're going to let somebody else control us?
00:19:31.549 --> 00:19:34.069
We don't have to. It's like, oh my gosh, this
00:19:34.069 --> 00:19:36.329
person is in a bad mood. That's, you know, the
00:19:36.329 --> 00:19:38.369
self -awareness and awareness of other people.
00:19:38.609 --> 00:19:41.289
It's like, I don't have to be in a bad mood.
00:19:41.809 --> 00:19:43.789
You know something, maybe I can make a game out
00:19:43.789 --> 00:19:47.589
of it right now. Let me see if I can respond
00:19:47.589 --> 00:19:50.750
in a happy mood and from a happy frame of mind
00:19:50.750 --> 00:19:54.809
10 times to their negativity and who changes
00:19:54.809 --> 00:19:59.710
first. Them being happy. or me being angry. So
00:19:59.710 --> 00:20:02.910
there's a number of tricks in the book that you
00:20:02.910 --> 00:20:05.829
can use in order to try to maintain your own
00:20:05.829 --> 00:20:08.849
happiness. In the long term, the more you're
00:20:08.849 --> 00:20:12.890
surrounded by people who lift you up, the more
00:20:12.890 --> 00:20:14.890
lifted up you're going to be. And you're not
00:20:14.890 --> 00:20:18.049
going to have to use up your energy forcing yourself
00:20:18.049 --> 00:20:23.589
to be in a resourceful, sage state of mind because
00:20:23.589 --> 00:20:28.190
the... because we have this tremendous urge to
00:20:28.190 --> 00:20:30.670
mimic whatever it is that other people are doing.
00:20:31.450 --> 00:20:35.029
And it takes energy to resist that. Oh my gosh.
00:20:35.089 --> 00:20:37.150
Is that like the old saying? Is that where the
00:20:37.150 --> 00:20:39.430
saying kind of came from? Misery loves company.
00:20:39.950 --> 00:20:43.470
Birds of a feather flock together. They all come
00:20:43.470 --> 00:20:48.450
from that. There's this tremendous urge. Well,
00:20:48.869 --> 00:20:52.109
I talk about in the book that there are five
00:20:52.109 --> 00:20:56.220
different types of actions that our survival
00:20:56.220 --> 00:21:00.000
brain chooses. One type of action is fighting.
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:05.000
Another one is fleeing, freezing, and we talk
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.779
about fight -flight or fight -flight -freeze
00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:11.200
often. But the third type is habits, the things
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:14.099
that we can do without thinking of them. Like,
00:21:14.299 --> 00:21:16.940
you know, we just know what to do when we're
00:21:16.940 --> 00:21:18.779
driving and we see a stop sign. We're not...
00:21:18.730 --> 00:21:21.950
We have to actively think about it. So there's
00:21:21.950 --> 00:21:24.569
habits that we can build up or fluencies. And
00:21:24.569 --> 00:21:27.789
then the fifth thing is mimicry. So we have this
00:21:27.789 --> 00:21:31.109
tremendous need as people to do what our tribe
00:21:31.109 --> 00:21:36.470
is doing, to fit in, to learn from them. And
00:21:36.470 --> 00:21:39.410
for the most part, that's what's given us the
00:21:39.410 --> 00:21:42.230
ability as a race to become kind of the top alpha
00:21:42.230 --> 00:21:44.890
predator. We build buildings. We do things that
00:21:44.890 --> 00:21:48.670
no other species can do. But it's also got a
00:21:48.670 --> 00:21:51.529
negative side because we're trying to fit in,
00:21:51.549 --> 00:21:56.190
so we're subject to peer pressure. When we're
00:21:56.190 --> 00:21:58.970
talking to somebody and somebody gives us advice,
00:21:59.930 --> 00:22:02.029
when we're in really mimicry mode, what we're
00:22:02.029 --> 00:22:05.500
picking up... very often is oh my gosh they're
00:22:05.500 --> 00:22:07.559
saying they're judging me they're saying what
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:09.799
i'm doing is good isn't good enough they're attacking
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:14.799
me so instead of our our um mirror neurons picking
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:17.339
up oh my gosh they're giving me some advice this
00:22:17.339 --> 00:22:19.619
could be really helpful our natural reaction
00:22:19.619 --> 00:22:22.519
is they're criticizing me they have something
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.980
against me i have to strike back i have to say
00:22:27.980 --> 00:22:30.119
first of all I love what you're doing. I really
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:32.059
want you to come on the chatter app, whether
00:22:32.059 --> 00:22:34.940
you're a guest or you enjoy it. I like, I like
00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:37.839
maybe doing a room and having you as a guest
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:42.160
chatter. It's a really cool chatter social .io
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:44.599
I talk about all the time. But one of the things
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:47.259
that's interesting in chatter social is, and
00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:49.519
this is why I think you would really for your
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:52.799
fourth book, because yes, we can see who it is.
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.980
So it's, it's, it's audio, but it's also video
00:22:55.980 --> 00:22:59.430
too. And it's also, you know, just a variety
00:22:59.430 --> 00:23:02.230
of different things. You can run rooms and workshops
00:23:02.230 --> 00:23:06.609
and groups. I can interview you, Mitch, and talk
00:23:06.609 --> 00:23:08.710
about it. But what I've noticed, too, what's
00:23:08.710 --> 00:23:11.029
interesting is that we're all real people put
00:23:11.029 --> 00:23:13.509
on this app together. We're getting to know each
00:23:13.509 --> 00:23:15.990
other. I went to an event and I met about 40
00:23:15.990 --> 00:23:18.410
of them, of these great, wonderful people. They're
00:23:18.410 --> 00:23:21.549
all professionals. But it's amazing how it's
00:23:21.549 --> 00:23:25.579
almost like this... I'm not gonna say, like a
00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:27.920
little virus sometimes, and one person will come
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:30.519
into a room and they'll share something that's,
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:32.680
you know, tough to hear, and then all of a sudden
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:35.880
it changes the vibe. And I think mind shifting
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:39.240
is a conversation, but I haven't heard anyone
00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:42.240
really talk about how you're doing it. I think
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:44.259
that you would get a kick. Sometimes I'm like,
00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:47.039
it's a social experiment we're all involved in.
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:50.720
But they're all real people. What was that? I
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:54.539
love experiments and you know it's just so much
00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:56.240
fun getting into a conversation with somebody
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:58.319
where a person basically says you know this is
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:01.339
what I'm facing and the two you know the two
00:24:01.339 --> 00:24:03.380
of us or the four of us however many people are
00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:06.720
there are like in this mode where it's almost
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:10.599
as if we're one brain and we come up with different
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:14.180
ways that that issue can be met. I love doing
00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:17.170
that. You're feeling a little bit out of control,
00:24:17.690 --> 00:24:22.130
but on the other hand, you're also feeling like,
00:24:22.190 --> 00:24:23.869
oh my gosh, I'm getting a chance to be creative.
00:24:24.490 --> 00:24:26.289
I'm doing stuff. I'm connecting with people.
00:24:26.490 --> 00:24:28.849
That would be great. I think it's great. And
00:24:28.849 --> 00:24:30.509
for all my friends out there that are podcast
00:24:30.509 --> 00:24:34.430
hosts, you can invite Mitch on your podcast,
00:24:34.730 --> 00:24:37.809
A Science of Mindshifting, Why Mindset Matters
00:24:37.809 --> 00:24:41.210
in Education. That one kind of leaves me breathless,
00:24:41.329 --> 00:24:44.309
like that is so true and so not talked about.
00:24:44.589 --> 00:24:46.890
The cognitive flexibility and success, I love
00:24:46.890 --> 00:24:50.519
that. The hidden traps in our own thinking. I,
00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:52.700
growing up in a family business, I definitely
00:24:52.700 --> 00:24:56.759
have some hidden traps preparing to fail. We
00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:59.839
hear that all the time. I'll do that, but I probably
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:02.619
won't be that good. And actually I love, what
00:25:02.619 --> 00:25:04.220
I love about some of my friends on Chatter is
00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:06.619
that they will listen to your words. So when
00:25:06.619 --> 00:25:08.380
you're talking and they'll say, well, everything
00:25:08.380 --> 00:25:10.720
you said is great, Adrienne, but go back. Why
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:13.880
did you just say, I can't do that? or I'm having
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:18.819
a hard time, or I like AI, but sometimes any
00:25:18.819 --> 00:25:21.420
kind of software can be tough for me to handle.
00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:23.200
It's like, wait, you're already saying it's tough,
00:25:23.220 --> 00:25:25.259
so you're going into that. So I think people
00:25:25.259 --> 00:25:30.059
always think of that. Well, so you advise entrepreneurs,
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:32.779
salespeople on business. You work with their
00:25:32.779 --> 00:25:35.839
mindsets also, because how hard is it to advise
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:38.299
a person when they're sure that everything that
00:25:38.299 --> 00:25:42.180
they're doing is already right? True, true. I
00:25:42.180 --> 00:25:44.440
noticed that it's easier to shift someone who
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:47.319
doesn't know how to do something like me. Like,
00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:50.140
I wasn't really sure, you know, the silverware.
00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:51.779
Just a lot of things. How do you pick someone
00:25:51.779 --> 00:25:54.400
up in a car? And, you know, those like, you know,
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:57.319
how to make the handshake, all of that. But if
00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:59.539
someone... is already coming with a sense like
00:25:59.539 --> 00:26:01.740
they know everything it's much tougher but if
00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:03.720
they're like oh I really need to know this and
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:05.819
understand it and I maybe want to learn so I
00:26:05.819 --> 00:26:09.200
can teach my children then it's a different conversation.
00:26:09.819 --> 00:26:12.240
My guess is part of your coaching is people come
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:15.099
to you and they're like I you know I really want
00:26:15.099 --> 00:26:17.839
to do this but I know that I can't and you can
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:20.619
give them the tools and I'll bet you at the same
00:26:20.619 --> 00:26:23.640
time you also work on giving them the confidence
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:26.220
to try the tools which is basically your mind
00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:30.839
shifting you're helping them. You are so right.
00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:32.779
Okay, I want to, I'm just going to go back here.
00:26:32.779 --> 00:26:36.259
I want to put in the comments. So you have a
00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:44.460
two free app. Let me just put this in the thing.
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:50.740
So chatter social, because I am thinking that
00:26:50.740 --> 00:26:54.539
the other thing I could do is is also you have
00:26:54.539 --> 00:26:57.700
some podcasts here to listen to. Right. So we
00:26:57.700 --> 00:27:00.819
I could even have have you listening to the podcast.
00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:03.220
I'm really excited about this. I like the mind
00:27:03.220 --> 00:27:05.900
shifting to I like how you're calling it. You're
00:27:05.900 --> 00:27:08.119
not and I love and correct me if I'm wrong and
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:11.200
don't be mad at me. But I love that this is not
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:13.339
about manifesting because it feels like everyone
00:27:13.339 --> 00:27:15.799
wants to let's manifest our dream home. Let's
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.559
manifest our our living on a cruise ship for
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:21.170
the rest of our life. Yes. Mitch, I would like
00:27:21.170 --> 00:27:22.650
to live on a cruise ship for the rest of my life.
00:27:22.970 --> 00:27:26.569
But you're talking about shifting the mind, which
00:27:26.569 --> 00:27:30.490
to me is so important, even for even for little
00:27:30.490 --> 00:27:33.369
babies. Like when when my children started to
00:27:33.369 --> 00:27:37.529
cry, I would go, oh, let's sing a song together
00:27:37.529 --> 00:27:39.269
if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
00:27:39.470 --> 00:27:42.589
And isn't that why that song came out? If you're
00:27:42.589 --> 00:27:44.549
happy and you know it makes you think I'm happy
00:27:44.549 --> 00:27:47.750
you're clapping your hands. Well, again, think
00:27:47.750 --> 00:27:50.630
of young kids. A young kid is running and falls,
00:27:50.769 --> 00:27:54.369
okay? When the adult or the parent looks at the
00:27:54.369 --> 00:27:57.430
kid and has a sense of horror, the kid knows
00:27:57.430 --> 00:27:59.269
something is wrong and starts crying. The kid
00:27:59.269 --> 00:28:02.490
falls and the adult is saying, what a great fall!
00:28:02.569 --> 00:28:04.390
That was so fantastic! You think you can do it
00:28:04.390 --> 00:28:07.849
again? You know, like, they're happy. It's just
00:28:07.849 --> 00:28:11.759
the brain, right? Oh, I love this. And I love,
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:13.220
I'm going to say this out loud too, so don't
00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:16.160
be mad at me again, Mitch. But I love that you're
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:18.779
older and wiser. And you know, it's hard for
00:28:18.779 --> 00:28:20.500
me to learn something like this from someone,
00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:23.259
I'm sorry, but in their 20s, who hasn't had the
00:28:23.259 --> 00:28:25.799
experience and the wisdom to even understand.
00:28:26.269 --> 00:28:28.849
how your mind can shift. So I'm going to say
00:28:28.849 --> 00:28:31.769
in this case, I really love that you're a little
00:28:31.769 --> 00:28:34.150
older because I think that just shows you've
00:28:34.150 --> 00:28:38.009
had a lifetime experience too. It's funny as
00:28:38.009 --> 00:28:40.190
you bring that up because the first time like
00:28:40.190 --> 00:28:43.829
it hit me, I was out with a group of people who
00:28:43.829 --> 00:28:48.349
were in their 40s and we were hiking and the
00:28:48.349 --> 00:28:50.650
hiking was pretty hard, but you know, but it
00:28:50.650 --> 00:28:53.450
was fine. Some of them actually tired before
00:28:53.450 --> 00:28:57.190
I did. And, you know, we're kind of at the end
00:28:57.190 --> 00:28:59.450
and one of the women comes up to me and she says,
00:28:59.470 --> 00:29:03.549
Mitch, you know, I just want to be just like
00:29:03.549 --> 00:29:07.490
you when I'm old. And I was like, I'm sorry,
00:29:07.549 --> 00:29:12.049
that's not a compliment. But that, you know,
00:29:12.069 --> 00:29:14.349
when but that's when it hit me like, oh, my gosh,
00:29:14.450 --> 00:29:20.369
I'm 70 or 71 years old. I guess I'm old. Oh,
00:29:20.470 --> 00:29:24.359
well. But is it that her mind shift too? So it'd
00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:26.500
be interesting because she should really shift
00:29:26.500 --> 00:29:29.099
that mind shift to a it's not a nice thing to
00:29:29.099 --> 00:29:34.119
say I mean it really is that and be I would say
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:37.039
something like Mitch I I hope I have as much
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:41.089
wisdom and experiences you have had to be able
00:29:41.089 --> 00:29:43.910
to even write that book. So to me, it's not age.
00:29:44.170 --> 00:29:47.170
I mean, it is age, because you can't be 25 years
00:29:47.170 --> 00:29:50.190
old and become a life coach. I guess you can.
00:29:50.309 --> 00:29:52.490
I don't mean to say you can't. But how am I?
00:29:52.619 --> 00:29:55.740
And I guess you would be OK for another 25 -year
00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:58.519
-old. So if that's what you want to do or you
00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:00.559
want to talk about mind shifting at 25, then
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.759
your audience should be your age. To me, my audience
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:08.519
needs to be wiser and experienced and understanding.
00:30:09.059 --> 00:30:13.700
Now, I love that I've never met anyone that took
00:30:13.700 --> 00:30:17.480
the mind shifting into the education process.
00:30:17.849 --> 00:30:20.329
And A, because that's so tough. I mean, we know
00:30:20.329 --> 00:30:22.670
that with educators, they're opening up the book
00:30:22.670 --> 00:30:24.569
and they got to get through their math and science
00:30:24.569 --> 00:30:27.950
and history and all of that. That usually they
00:30:27.950 --> 00:30:30.410
don't have enough time to do something like this,
00:30:30.430 --> 00:30:33.670
which is to me a shame because this to me could
00:30:33.670 --> 00:30:37.569
go under character development because you're
00:30:37.569 --> 00:30:40.289
helping them to build that character. Am I correct?
00:30:40.329 --> 00:30:44.150
Am I thinking you're you're 100 % correct? It's
00:30:44.150 --> 00:30:50.250
so I. My. My love would be for every kid to grow
00:30:50.250 --> 00:30:53.789
up and have the skills so that they could be
00:30:53.789 --> 00:30:58.289
successful and live happy lives, okay? And these
00:30:58.289 --> 00:31:02.009
mind -shifting skills will accelerate that. When
00:31:02.009 --> 00:31:04.890
I talk to superintendents about this and say,
00:31:04.950 --> 00:31:06.710
you know, you could bring this into your schools,
00:31:07.490 --> 00:31:10.390
and I'll just make sure that, you know, that
00:31:10.390 --> 00:31:12.670
the teachers get it, and they're saying, wow,
00:31:12.750 --> 00:31:14.509
you know something, this is exactly what I want
00:31:14.509 --> 00:31:17.230
to happen in my district. And as soon as we get
00:31:17.230 --> 00:31:19.029
our test scores up, this is what we're going
00:31:19.029 --> 00:31:24.569
to do. And it's just like, you miss it. The train
00:31:24.569 --> 00:31:27.549
for test scores has gone out of the station.
00:31:27.849 --> 00:31:30.509
It's like, we're not going to do the same things
00:31:30.509 --> 00:31:32.710
and raise test scores. We have to be trying new
00:31:32.710 --> 00:31:35.529
things. But you don't get fired from doing the
00:31:35.529 --> 00:31:38.089
same things as everybody else. So people are
00:31:38.089 --> 00:31:39.869
thinking about, well, we need to prepare kids
00:31:39.869 --> 00:31:41.450
for the test so that their achievement scores
00:31:41.450 --> 00:31:45.069
go up. I think we need to prepare kids how to
00:31:45.069 --> 00:31:48.890
think, how to resist the charms of social media,
00:31:49.230 --> 00:31:54.349
how to take pride in doing the work rather than
00:31:54.349 --> 00:31:56.769
just looking for an easy A and going to AI and
00:31:56.769 --> 00:31:59.670
have the AI do the work for yourself. Have kids
00:31:59.670 --> 00:32:02.529
take charge of their own lives. And when we can
00:32:02.529 --> 00:32:05.769
teach kids how to do that, then they're going
00:32:05.769 --> 00:32:08.630
to be successful and their achievement levels
00:32:08.630 --> 00:32:10.990
are going to go up. And that's what my hope is.
00:32:11.950 --> 00:32:16.109
What did this fall under, like rationalization?
00:32:17.089 --> 00:32:19.890
I'm trying to think, like, because you're teaching
00:32:19.890 --> 00:32:23.049
them, it's almost like, because who knows how
00:32:23.049 --> 00:32:25.109
many of these students are like, ooh, I didn't
00:32:25.109 --> 00:32:27.210
really think about my brain. Maybe I want to
00:32:27.210 --> 00:32:29.630
go into the study of the brain and do something
00:32:29.630 --> 00:32:34.039
else, but isn't it also... allows them to be
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:38.660
able to debate and have conversation and rationalize
00:32:38.660 --> 00:32:41.920
things a little better if they understand mind
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:45.400
-shifting, not only their own minds, but other...
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:49.119
Right. And a lot of the lessons just could be
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:51.500
taught in the nooks and crannies when a kid does
00:32:51.500 --> 00:32:53.480
something and doesn't succeed, and you have a
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:55.099
chance to say, well, wait a minute, you know,
00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:58.460
like, you took this test, you didn't get the
00:32:58.460 --> 00:33:01.220
grades that you want, what did you learn from
00:33:01.220 --> 00:33:07.730
this? You took this test, you're upset. Of course,
00:33:08.230 --> 00:33:10.589
this is what your survival brain does, is it
00:33:10.589 --> 00:33:13.509
gets down on you. Just relax for a minute. OK,
00:33:13.569 --> 00:33:15.369
did you learn something for relaxing for a minute?
00:33:16.430 --> 00:33:19.190
What's going to happen next? So when teachers
00:33:19.190 --> 00:33:21.849
know these techniques, it just changes the way
00:33:21.849 --> 00:33:24.829
they approach kids in those times where there's
00:33:24.829 --> 00:33:29.269
a teachable moment. They can maybe fit it in
00:33:29.269 --> 00:33:33.910
because ideally a teacher can spend a day or
00:33:33.910 --> 00:33:37.869
two on establishing certain mind -shifting rules
00:33:37.869 --> 00:33:41.230
or protocols with the class so that when the
00:33:41.230 --> 00:33:43.990
events come up, instead of trying to discipline
00:33:43.990 --> 00:33:46.990
or deal with them at that point, it's like you
00:33:46.990 --> 00:33:50.650
remember that we used this technique at the beginning
00:33:50.650 --> 00:33:54.799
of the school year. that was designed for this
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:57.160
type of situation, how are we gonna use this
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.420
technique? And instead of taking an hour to repull
00:34:00.420 --> 00:34:02.859
the class together, you've done it in five or
00:34:02.859 --> 00:34:07.180
10 minutes. So you've actually saved time. Oops,
00:34:07.380 --> 00:34:10.099
I think you're, you might be muted, I can't hear
00:34:10.099 --> 00:34:13.880
you. Yep, you're still muted. I am, thank you
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:17.039
so much. I was, thank you, yeah, my dog was barking.
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:19.860
I was also thinking, I love your blog, so I wanted
00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:21.599
to see where I could sign up for your newsletter.
00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:24.230
Oh, thank you. Where do I sign? Oh, social drive
00:34:24.230 --> 00:34:27.230
now. You guys, go on the newsletter. The other
00:34:27.230 --> 00:34:29.010
thing I think, which, oh my God, would have been
00:34:29.010 --> 00:34:34.469
so helpful if, as a kid, I raised my hand. I
00:34:34.469 --> 00:34:36.610
don't think I'll do well on this test with Sally
00:34:36.610 --> 00:34:39.570
because I don't know anything about it and I
00:34:39.570 --> 00:34:42.789
didn't study and I'm really confused and I didn't
00:34:42.789 --> 00:34:44.670
sleep very well and I'm actually really hungry.
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:47.940
Like, you know what I mean? Like, I've always
00:34:47.940 --> 00:34:50.159
remembered that teachers would just say, well,
00:34:50.340 --> 00:34:52.880
you should then make sure you study at night
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:55.139
and get something to eat or here's the bar or
00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:58.019
whatever it may be. But like, I, oh my God, I
00:34:58.019 --> 00:35:00.480
loving like this whole concept where you could,
00:35:00.659 --> 00:35:02.420
where the teacher could say something like, wait,
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:05.480
wait, wait, wait, wait. class everyone let's
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.800
help to shift the mind right right everybody
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:10.599
you you know there's a there's a test coming
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:13.059
up at an hour how who's feeling anxious about
00:35:13.059 --> 00:35:15.599
it you know something let's just do a little
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:18.860
bit of a reset and let's calm our minds down
00:35:18.860 --> 00:35:21.099
now how do you feel do you feel more resourceful
00:35:21.099 --> 00:35:22.900
okay that means you're probably gonna do much
00:35:22.900 --> 00:35:27.739
better on the test i I am just, I can't even
00:35:27.739 --> 00:35:30.440
explain to you how much I think that this is
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:34.559
just really so important to all of us. Okay,
00:35:34.739 --> 00:35:36.800
I just joined. Thank you. Look, you guys, join
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:39.820
the newsletter. Look at everything that Mitch
00:35:39.820 --> 00:35:41.579
is doing. I had something else I wanted to say.
00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:44.739
Oh, wait, I'm on another, oh, I like this. So
00:35:44.739 --> 00:35:47.599
Mindshifting website. Okay, we're back to your
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:52.559
website. But now I'm interested. Podcast. Okay.
00:35:52.699 --> 00:35:54.639
All right. So here. Oh, you guys. Yeah. You want
00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:57.780
to book Mitch on podcasts. Definitely. Look at
00:35:57.780 --> 00:36:00.760
this. This is really good stuff here. So what's
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:05.000
going up is the page on the website that says
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:09.119
in education. So I think, okay, there we go.
00:36:09.260 --> 00:36:12.019
There we go. This is the blog website, right?
00:36:12.460 --> 00:36:14.360
Where's me? Oh, it is. Okay. Where are you located
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:16.639
by the way? You don't have to tell me just like,
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:18.519
no, I'm just, I'm just outside of New York city.
00:36:18.699 --> 00:36:21.579
I'm in, uh, well, Marinette, New York. Oh, Oh,
00:36:21.579 --> 00:36:24.420
I'm a Connecticut girl. Oh, I grew up in Connecticut.
00:36:24.500 --> 00:36:26.559
I grew up in Stanford, Connecticut. Oh, you did.
00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:29.480
I love that. Oh, my gosh. I love it. OK, I'm
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:30.840
coming back. I'm going to get rid of everything
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:33.079
here. So it's just the two of us again. This
00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:37.239
has been really, really interesting. I just can't
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:40.500
explain to you how, as I'm older, at 63, it's
00:36:40.500 --> 00:36:43.880
easy to understand. Not older than me. No. There
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:45.719
you go. No, I don't feel old. To be honest with
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:47.980
you, I literally don't feel old. I mean, I have
00:36:47.980 --> 00:36:50.440
wrinkles that remind me when I look in the mirror.
00:36:51.139 --> 00:36:54.159
I don't feel like, oh, I'm old because I still
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:56.920
have young heart or maybe my mind shift is one
00:36:56.920 --> 00:37:00.400
of young and fun. I mean, I, you know, because
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:02.059
at the end of the day, if I want to learn something,
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:04.019
it's got to have a little bit of fun to it. It's
00:37:04.019 --> 00:37:06.159
got to be exciting. So I guess there's a kid.
00:37:06.699 --> 00:37:08.480
You look like a person who loves being around
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:13.260
kids. I do. I love kids more than anything in
00:37:13.260 --> 00:37:15.519
the world. It's so much. It's so much fun. All
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.079
right. I'll tell you my biggest challenge right
00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:19.679
now with my mind shift, not about education.
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:23.579
It's. It's about when I go to the pool or when
00:37:23.579 --> 00:37:26.619
I go to the beach. It's so hard for me. I have
00:37:26.619 --> 00:37:29.969
to stop. Like watching parents not watch their
00:37:29.969 --> 00:37:32.489
kids. Like I go there and I cannot stand that
00:37:32.489 --> 00:37:35.170
I'm seeing children and we almost had two drownings
00:37:35.170 --> 00:37:37.289
over the weekend. And I'm like, and then the
00:37:37.289 --> 00:37:39.010
parents are yelling at me like mind your own
00:37:39.010 --> 00:37:41.449
business and stay out of it. And one called me
00:37:41.449 --> 00:37:43.710
a pedophile cause I was staring because I was
00:37:43.710 --> 00:37:45.869
like, are you watching your kid or not? Because
00:37:45.869 --> 00:37:47.909
I'm like, but then I'm like, Adrian, you got
00:37:47.909 --> 00:37:50.610
to stop this like mind shift. Well, I can't take
00:37:50.610 --> 00:37:52.730
care of everyone's child and it's ruining my
00:37:52.730 --> 00:37:55.510
time and it's causing my friends to get irritated
00:37:55.510 --> 00:38:01.929
with me. So is there. for that? So first of all
00:38:01.929 --> 00:38:04.349
what you're doing and what you're concerned about
00:38:04.349 --> 00:38:08.349
is so important so you should pat yourself on
00:38:08.349 --> 00:38:12.469
the back for that and then it's just a matter
00:38:12.469 --> 00:38:17.639
like we can't We can't control everything, so
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:20.920
it's to focus on what are one or two things that
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:23.699
I think that I might be able to control, and
00:38:23.699 --> 00:38:25.539
or what are two things that are gonna make me
00:38:25.539 --> 00:38:27.980
happy right now, and just focus on one or two
00:38:27.980 --> 00:38:32.559
things. There's so many different ways of doing
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:36.880
it, and those might work for you. If not, there
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:39.369
are more. book so you could take a look at the
00:38:39.369 --> 00:38:41.250
book too. I am going to buy the book. I am going
00:38:41.250 --> 00:38:43.489
to buy the book for myself and my daughter because
00:38:43.489 --> 00:38:46.789
I want to learn more because I definitely believe
00:38:46.789 --> 00:38:48.949
it and understand it. All right so Mitch I'm
00:38:48.949 --> 00:38:52.269
going to have so this is going to go into a podcast.
00:38:53.150 --> 00:38:55.170
I do have a few ahead but it's going to go into
00:38:55.170 --> 00:38:57.829
the podcast with all the show notes and the way
00:38:57.829 --> 00:38:59.730
to reach you but you guys get on the podcast
00:38:59.730 --> 00:39:04.519
all of Mitch's The socials are there. The blogs
00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:07.219
are there. Mitch, I will get back to you. First
00:39:07.219 --> 00:39:09.840
thing to do is just join Chatter Social. Just
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:12.139
join with your name. You can add all of your
00:39:12.139 --> 00:39:13.880
socials if you have any questions. Is that on
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:18.039
your website? No, I don't have. I'm just a beta.
00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:20.820
It started in June. Well, have you ever heard
00:39:20.820 --> 00:39:24.199
of Clubhouse? Yes. OK, so I loved Clubhouse.
00:39:24.300 --> 00:39:26.579
I didn't love love like all the teaching rooms
00:39:26.579 --> 00:39:29.139
at Clubhouse. So funny enough. of every Thursday
00:39:29.139 --> 00:39:32.920
morning on Breakfast with Champions, I do a,
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:36.920
you know, like a workshop from 730 to 830. And
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.199
by the way, Fridays are with David Meltzer and
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:41.679
Ramon Ray is amazing. There's some amazing, like
00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:43.579
all the speakers are incredible. That's on Clubhouse.
00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:45.559
That's on Clubhouse, Breakfast with Champions.
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:48.639
And then I enjoy these rooms like Million Marathon
00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:51.579
and I love to bake the news. They were just fun.
00:39:51.739 --> 00:39:54.920
front rooms and I was following this young man
00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:57.960
named Nelson Apega who at the time was 25 and
00:39:57.960 --> 00:39:59.800
I just thought he was really real and authentic
00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:02.579
and funny and the conversations and everything
00:40:02.579 --> 00:40:04.599
to him was like a show and it felt like a show
00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:06.619
it was a place where I could close my eyes and
00:40:06.619 --> 00:40:09.820
you know it was alive and interactive. And then
00:40:09.820 --> 00:40:12.420
he realized all the things that he would like
00:40:12.420 --> 00:40:15.000
to have that he couldn't have. Because then he
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:17.320
was on spaces and he attracted like thousands
00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:19.639
of people, him and Jonathan Bing, who's a host
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:22.159
of Debate the News. And then they developed Chatter
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:23.900
Social and I raised my hand. I'm like, I want
00:40:23.900 --> 00:40:26.280
to be a beta tester so bad. So it started in
00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:29.179
June. Now it is public and it's also integrated
00:40:29.179 --> 00:40:33.199
with Blue Sky, which is fabulous. And I deliver
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:36.400
the Dateline news. So I deliver news for Debate
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:38.900
the News at night. usually around the 9, 30,
00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:41.079
10 o 'clock mark. But you know what? I get my
00:40:41.079 --> 00:40:44.260
news from the Clear Media Project, which is Ella
00:40:44.260 --> 00:40:46.739
Green, who's amazing. I curate the news. And
00:40:46.739 --> 00:40:49.280
then I do True Crime with Joseph, which is so
00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:52.239
much fun. And then I do some other rooms. But
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.760
like this conversation and having you on it.
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:56.880
So there is money to be made. There's called
00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:59.320
Rockets. And you know, if you do a great room,
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:01.519
people will send you right away. They'll give
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:03.920
you Rockets. But there's so much more to it.
00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:06.760
These are all very strong, professional people.
00:41:06.829 --> 00:41:11.010
And a lot of people are talking about mind manifestation
00:41:11.010 --> 00:41:12.949
and similar to what you're doing, but they're
00:41:12.949 --> 00:41:16.489
not experts in it, right? They maybe read the
00:41:16.489 --> 00:41:18.269
book. It would be like my reading the book and
00:41:18.269 --> 00:41:21.539
then doing a workshop on it. But since you're
00:41:21.539 --> 00:41:24.199
in New York, also would love to have you as a
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:26.980
guest on Breakfast with Champions where you can
00:41:26.980 --> 00:41:30.139
take my spot and I introduce you and then you
00:41:30.139 --> 00:41:32.000
do some mind shifting. So definitely you and
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:34.780
I are going to talk about this because I feel
00:41:34.780 --> 00:41:37.800
like that would be really, really great for you.
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:40.059
And I'll just look good because, you know, I
00:41:40.059 --> 00:41:42.960
brought you in, but that's about it. Chat or
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:46.679
social .com? Chatter. It's chatter. So I like
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:49.769
chatter, social .io. Yeah. Okay, it's really
00:41:49.769 --> 00:41:53.090
cool. C -H -A -T -T -E -R, social. Yep, dot I
00:41:53.090 --> 00:41:55.250
-O. The nice thing, too, is that you can stream
00:41:55.250 --> 00:41:58.030
from it. So, like, there's a computer so I can
00:41:58.030 --> 00:42:01.250
actually go in and I can stream. Like, True Crime,
00:42:01.630 --> 00:42:03.590
we're doing The Staircase, a story of Michael
00:42:03.590 --> 00:42:06.769
Peterson. So, yesterday I streamed, like, from
00:42:06.769 --> 00:42:09.110
Netflix, some of the different things. So, also,
00:42:09.210 --> 00:42:11.269
you know, if you have videos or programs, they
00:42:11.269 --> 00:42:14.190
can be streamed. So, yeah, let's talk because
00:42:14.190 --> 00:42:16.630
I think that it would be good for you. There
00:42:16.630 --> 00:42:19.139
are teachers on it. Um, and in the meantime,
00:42:19.380 --> 00:42:22.639
there's just all of us that need to understand
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.719
better our minds. So I, Mitch, thank you so,
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:27.840
so much. I really appreciate it. Thank you for
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:30.219
having me on. Thank you for a wonderful conversation.
00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:32.619
Thank you for your enthusiasm. Oh, thank you.
00:42:33.179 --> 00:42:36.179
You transmit that. It's just like, oh my gosh,
00:42:36.539 --> 00:42:38.760
I'm basking in it. You know, it's funny. That
00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:41.019
was the only thing like selling like I've had
00:42:41.019 --> 00:42:42.559
more people say, you know, Adrian, you're not
00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:44.739
the lowest price. You're not blah, blah, blah.
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:48.260
But your passion is what has has fueled them
00:42:48.260 --> 00:42:50.480
to come to me, which is good. Is there anything
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:52.699
I should have asked you that I didn't? Anything
00:42:52.699 --> 00:42:58.260
you want to promote? I don't know. My wife's
00:42:58.260 --> 00:43:00.980
great. You didn't ask me about my wife. Your
00:43:00.980 --> 00:43:03.599
wife, you said? Yeah, my wife, my wife, my wife,
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.050
my wife, my wife. My dad, my mom and dad were
00:43:07.050 --> 00:43:10.449
married just two months before the 70th year
00:43:10.449 --> 00:43:13.309
anniversary. And my dad used to say, what people
00:43:13.309 --> 00:43:15.210
would say, what's the secret? My dad would say,
00:43:15.429 --> 00:43:20.789
Gloria is 50 % right and I am 50 % wrong. Okay.
00:43:20.969 --> 00:43:24.409
Yeah. Well, my mom, my mom's was, she actually
00:43:24.409 --> 00:43:26.469
wrote a book on how do you stay happily married
00:43:26.469 --> 00:43:29.550
for 60 years. And in that book, you know, somebody
00:43:29.550 --> 00:43:32.670
that somebody then asked her like, So, do you
00:43:32.670 --> 00:43:35.369
ever consider divorce? And she says, divorce?
00:43:35.670 --> 00:43:40.550
Never. Murder? Yes, but never divorce. What is
00:43:40.550 --> 00:43:44.690
your mom's book? I think it was called, How to
00:43:44.690 --> 00:43:47.190
Stay Happily Married for 60 Years. I don't even
00:43:47.190 --> 00:43:49.969
know if it's still out, but her name was Frankie,
00:43:50.030 --> 00:43:52.550
Frankie Weisberg. Wait, married after 60 years?
00:43:52.849 --> 00:43:55.550
Right. Oh my God, what year is this that she
00:43:55.550 --> 00:43:58.230
wrote a book? That's incredible. Probably around
00:43:58.230 --> 00:44:01.550
15 years ago. Oh my God, I'll have to look for
00:44:01.550 --> 00:44:04.750
it. Oh, I don't see it coming out. How to stay
00:44:04.750 --> 00:44:08.050
happily married after 60 years? Yeah, I'll look
00:44:08.050 --> 00:44:11.289
for how I can find it. Oh my God, just wondering
00:44:11.289 --> 00:44:13.889
if she spelled out the 60 years. Let me see if
00:44:13.889 --> 00:44:19.289
that makes a difference. My sister is a publisher,
00:44:19.630 --> 00:44:22.369
and so she published it with my sister. So I
00:44:22.369 --> 00:44:26.150
will find the exact wording. And I'll find out
00:44:26.150 --> 00:44:28.650
how to get the book. Maybe it's time to relive
00:44:28.650 --> 00:44:31.710
that book again and bring it back. Yeah. Because
00:44:31.710 --> 00:44:34.650
actually, it would be fun. So, oh, that is really
00:44:34.650 --> 00:44:37.389
cool. OK, Mitch, thank you. Have a great rest
00:44:37.389 --> 00:44:41.670
of the day. From us New Englanders, that's why.
00:44:42.030 --> 00:44:44.769
Oh, yeah. Oh, if you're ever back in Connecticut,
00:44:44.889 --> 00:44:47.889
let me just pitch this to you. In Cheshire, Connecticut,
00:44:48.130 --> 00:44:50.849
in the middle of the state, my parents left their
00:44:50.849 --> 00:44:55.900
legacy, which is a toy museum. And it is. Marker
00:44:55.900 --> 00:44:58.320
Cartoon Character and Comic Museum, and it's
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:02.880
80 ,000 toys that are all amazing. And it's really,
00:45:02.940 --> 00:45:04.320
my parents did it because they, well, they love
00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:05.940
toys. They were kids, the kids at heart too,
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:08.340
but they love sharing the history behind the
00:45:08.340 --> 00:45:10.480
toys. So it's really for all ages. So if you
00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:13.420
ever find yourself in that Cheshire area, stop
00:45:13.420 --> 00:45:15.920
by. It's an hour and a half away. Oh, it's really
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:19.019
great. I think it's free this summer too. So
00:45:19.019 --> 00:45:22.039
either way, it's like $5. My dad for years, he
00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:24.099
had it for free. And then now that we have some
00:45:24.099 --> 00:45:26.679
museum direct... but the landscape and all of
00:45:26.679 --> 00:45:29.639
that, but yes. Take a look at the Disney toothpaste
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:33.960
that had lead in it. Disney gave you a little
00:45:33.960 --> 00:45:35.719
lead for that toothpaste. All right, I'm gonna
00:45:35.719 --> 00:45:38.179
end the stream. Thank you so much. This is great.
00:45:38.420 --> 00:45:39.199
Thank you, Adrienne.
