Table Rush Talk Show

 In the previous episode I don’t think I painted the complete picture of what “the in it” pain was.  So I give a little more detail.  And also the point of when “it” became fun again.  It culminates with a friend telling me “thank god you’re human, thank god you have normal stuff upset you!” Show notes: Round 1 of legit thoughts of I’m done with 2CCX…  I’ll just go out and do my books and read my...

I get my but kicked by the coaching group for the 4th time…  and it crushes me.  It’s a heavy prayer day and thank god for the tools cause they turn the situation from pain to fun and I get a sound night's sleep.  And a little riff on how the idea of the soul does not serve me. Show notes: How many damn grand idea summit ideas have I had shot down.  ...IDK, I wish this part of the story was done....

One of my favorite sayings for a good life and to keep from reverting back to "old behaviors" is “Trust in god, clean house, and work with others.”  Which translated is: put your faith in something greater than yourself, clean up your messes in life, and how can you pass it on and be of service to others.  Matthew Cox does exactly that but in his own words and on his own terms.  There is a lot to...

After recording 17 interviews with 11 published at time of recording I reflect on the two extremes of the interviewees, and how do they effect me and what are my surrounding thoughts and emotions.  We’ve got more internal based ideas, touchy feely perhaps, one might cry.  Vs super intellectual smart people with ideas, looking at society, politics, art with new lenses.  All with open minded people...

Let's look at and discuss these two thoughts with indifference.  Idea #1 GDP is the important thing, you’ve got to produce, monetize, and GDP growth is king.  Or Idea #2 meditating on deep, contemplative, metaphysical questions, god etc is the most important thing. Show notes: …and looking without judgement.  One is not better than the other, it’s when I judge as one better than the other is when...

Basically I read a couple of paragraphs of A Course In Miracles on the episode and it inspires all sorts of awesome thought provoking questions for me and sheds light on how beautiful this world is.  Now this is a riff I can be proud of! Show notes: 11:30 pm. “Attainment In The Real World”.  Enjoy the ride people.    A great question is posed “Am I willing to sit quietly and look upon the world I...

Coming out of my frustrating class yesterday it’s clear I need some help finding the words that I’m trying to get down on paper.  So I finally go to source and ask for some help…  And it turns out source is sending me the people who can help. Show notes: A beautiful day today.  95% certain that I have the summit headline breakthrough.  A Funny recap of yesterdays classroom feedback.  “Speak when s...

I presented some work to my mastermind class today, had some expectations that I did good work, and got shredded by the coaches!  Worst though, I thought they thought I wasn’t prepared!  It was damn hard on the ego.  My friend says, “Mischa, you get to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and jump back in the fray." Show notes: Have not been eating out much during the covid.  It was weird being ou...

I go down a list of notes of “what happened today”.  So there are a lot of short blurbs on many topics.  It’s quite a lot of fun. Show notes: Just some of the fun: A couple of innocuous comments.  Innocuous definition: Producing no injury, not likely to give offense or to arouse strong feelings or hostility.  “To thine own self be true”. I landed on the “people who talk about god are assholes” sid...

“What type of person are you before the fraud?” He’s not super stoked about his answer.  When I start asking about his shift in prison; “when is the change?”  “The before and after?”  “The change in your awareness?”  It takes some pressing, but I am humbled by his answers.  “What do you have to do to stay clean from fraud?”  The bread crumbs to his current happiness…  and more.  Episode 3 and 4 st...

I discover some new tips to make poor over coffee and relate the experience to following simple instructions to bring joy in your life.  And A Course In Miracles inspires a new simple prayer that is a game changer…  And gives me new perspective to be in the moment.   Show notes: Feeling the love of life and god and such.  …it is a powerful thing to try to connive that or to share that space.  Monk...

My sneaky ego entices me to deviate from some of my most important spiritual practices…  So I get to re-prioritize some of my morning routine to get back on track and the results are awesome!  Show notes: Remembrances of “the Blues Brothers” movie.  I loved the soundtrack!  The things that are good for me and that help me stay in the moment…  Let’s make no illusions about that.  We are all adults…...

My propensity to think I’m special and that the rules don’t apply to me shows itself in my needing to change health care providers!  …and of course there were shades of the Apple and Amazon Assosiates instances.  Have a nice day!  The choice is ours :). Show notes: The adventure of the healthcare system.  New insights into how I’m manipulative.  A little victim mentality.  "I don’t know the system...

I happened to talk to Glenn Miller the morning I recorded this days episode.  He had been at death's door from the covid and was fired up about service and life.  He spontaneously tells me some inspirational things this morning.  I talk about Glenn Miller being of maximum service and what a good man he is.  Sadly, Glenn Miller would pass away just a couple weeks later… Show notes: There actually m...

My emotional state seems to affect how I perceive my interviews in the moment.  I discuss many of those states at the time of recording and at the time of edit for publishing; and how those perceptions fluctuate. Show notes: Turns out the chair still squeaks fixing.  If I don’t record something I will loose my edge. I can record and in the moment and think it’s crapy…  But then when I listen back...

More on some serious meditation, It is so powerful in subtle and unsuspecting ways.  My current opinions on “how you should be doing it”, and what about if you fall asleep?  Heck sometimes you might even call it “sleeptation”.  Don’t judge just do. Show notes: Rule number 1 it ain’t worth dying.  Wake up, make my bed, say some prayers, then jump into the mediation. I just know when I do it it is p...

I dig in; you were in art school, what was it like before you were a criminal?  I ask a little more…  Fraud is an escalating addiction wouldn’t you agree?  And we get a sense of what pulled him to crime, his character, and his pending shift in perspective… Show notes: For those of you who don’t know Matthew Cox; he was Number One on the Secret Services most wanted list for stealing $11,500,000 dol...

I was just interviewed, ”Mischa is a stay at home’ish dad with a podcast”.  Turns out that may be my new identity and I love that!  So easy on myself, keep my expectations in check, and keep pressing along.  All these “duh Mischa” “duh Mischa” lightbulb moments going on! Show notes: Say what you are gonna say, say it, say what you said.  Stick to that model and you will probably be successful.  Su...

Now that I have the habit of recording and publishing content, the comfort level is there, I can start expanding what’s next.  I’ve begun playing with some lives, and hopefully live interviews will be soon. Show notes: I love the toys and the tech I get to play with…  I am having a ton of fun!  Ty Waylon!  MV 88+ allows you to use a cord so you have the mic further from the phone…  I had this insp...

Last episodes thought, “Publishing!  That's a whole different ball game…”.  continues…  Of course I get distracted by the covid chess match and some other cool thoughts. And finally I get to the point of  "one of the big benefits of the tension of learning how to publish". Show notes: I would like a round of applause last episode clocked out at 7:57! (not including intros and outros).  I wrote out...

 I’ve gained momentum with the podcast.  Delays in publishing my 6 episode launch allowed me to record a backlog of episodes.  And currently the creation of the content is no longer an issue.  (And I throw in a sprinkle of meditation and a dash of the covid) Show notes: The goal is the 8 minute episode today!  Meditating for an hour every morning is so powerful.  Putting the ego to the side for en...

My Idea is that the more supportive of others I am, perhaps I will open the space for people to be supportive of me.  Even better, perhaps I will see how people are already supportive of me.  This idea is peaking as I have insecurities around sending supportive emails to people I don't really know.   And I throw in some stuff on projecting my crap onto others, being open to alt spiritual ideas, no...

Let’s start with examples of the “the rules don’t apply to me”.  To the pain that brought me to the summit in the first place.  And maybe Matt wants to be on the summit?  He was in crisis mode and came out the other side gracefully. Show notes: Follow the rules already…  Part of my journey is “the rules don’t apply to me”.  Or give me the rules and I will figure out how to skirt around them…  Matt...

Matthew Cox was #1 on the Secret Service’s most wanted list and he did his prison time.  In part #1 we get introduced to Matt, just how funny he is, and just how f’ing hard it may be to go from prison, to a halfway house, to a new life on the outside…  Show notes: For those of you who don’t know Matthew Cox; he was Number One on the Secret Services most wanted list for stealing $11,500,000 dollars...
