This was a fun and productive conversation with Drew Sample of The Sample Hour. I visited Drew and his Capital City Greens operation in Columbus, Ohio in August this year. He has been a mentor for my business and sales strategies.  Sometimes I feel like Drew and I will ramble on too much and be too tangential, this time we did a good job. But I think that we're trying to include nuance and context to the ideas we speak on. 

I just haven't been liking the content I've been trying to make in the last couple years. I think I've figured out what I'd like to change. 

This might be a challenging episode, mostly because of my stammering. I feel a need to tread lightly, but I did my best to just express what I've been thinking about.  I support human freedom. I support care for all people. I support the experiences of people in this world. I don't want to attach anything else to that.    Check out Tragedy and Hope .com https://tragedyandhope.com/the-brain/ Listen to the Peace Revolution Podcast, start in the earliest archives! https://peacerevolution.podomatic.com/ Check out the School Sucks Project, the latest episodes are great.  https://schoolsucksproject.com/category/podcast/ssp-4-0-the-principles-of-learning/

I'm just yakkin on this one. Talking a bit about the current virus going around. I haven't collected all of my thoughts and feelings on this situation yet but here's what I'm initially thinking. 

When I have problems with sales, I talk to Drew. He's one of my favorite people to chat with, and his advice is dead on for me. This conversation will be valuable to your relationship skills, whether you want to sell yak meat or make friends.  Drew on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrewSample Check out The Sample Hour: http://samplehour.com/ Capital City Greens: https://www.instagram.com/capcitygreens/?hl=en YWN Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/justyakkin YWN Facebook Group:  

I recorded this last week and I don't remember much of what I said. I know I focused on relationships and building them. This year was different than any of my prior years because I've spent so much time building relationships. I'm working with friends on the farm, I'm meeting new people, and I care much more about people. My life is better for this, maybe yours could be changed by strengthening a relationship.   

Long time no speak, I'm dropping you a little update and just some good ol' yakkin.  Thank you to everybody who has continued to support me on Patreon, it really makes a difference in my life.I have ideas and the best intentions to create more content, but timing isn't right now. 

I wrecked a car yesterday, I managed to get out uninjured. But it was a close one and made me reflect on life. I'm very grateful to be alive and well, I'm bummed about the pickup, but I live another day and will able to work to buy a new vehicle.  I hope you're living your best life, or at least trying. It sucks when shit happens, but it adds spice to life. We take a lot of things for granted, shocking events make us rethink and appreciate what we do. 

Long time, no hear! Just poppin in for a quick update. Been busy busy busy on the farm. Almost too much to write about in this boiling hot room... Nah, not even almost, too hot to write. Listen to the episode, you cheater.  Thanks to all the Patrons that have supported me through an absence of content. It really means a lot, not just the money, but knowing that people care about what I'm doing. Thank you all.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/justyakkin Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1852290741714815

While I've been podfading, I've been looking at the variables in my life. The things that affect what I'm trying to do with my life, of which there are many. I have goals and a purpose in life, and I'm constantly trying to be focused on them. But it's easy to be distracted and easy to lose what you're trying to attain. It's impossible to be in control of all variables in you life, even impossible to influence them all.  But what can you do about problematic variables?  Good question that I don't have a complete answer too. Today I focused on the variable of relationships, the people in my life. Dealing with people can be quite difficult, but also quite rewarding. I discuss how to deal with people and what I'm doing to improve my relationships.     Internal Family Systems website mentioned: http://sfhelp.org/gwc/guide1.htm Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/justyakkin Facebook Group:
