Greetings from Driebergen, Let’s see:  Eat less Don’t drink alcohol Wake up early Meditate Create ?That’s kinda it.  ?That, IMHO, is super fun. ?It’s weirdly even, dare I ?say, MORE fun than the drinking and debauchery of the holiday vacation.  ?My question: ?”How can we make our daily existence at least as good as our holiday life?” ? ?The book I ?was reading was called  Sooley . ?Enjoy your “reg...

Greetings from the wet and cold forests in Driebergen, ?The book (or art or project or program or ________ ?) you create this year is only possible this year.  ?Even if you remember, you take notes, and you try your hardest to make your opinions, experiences, and “who you are” ?just like this year but you don’t do it until next year, it’s just not you.  ?Each book you do is then a part of you. Eve...

Greetings from Fuerteventura, The Canary Islands, Spain, I’m learning how to kite surf this week.  ?I’m terrible. ?Wait a minute. I’m a beginner. I’m supposed to be terrible, right? ? ?But then why and how can I still compare myself with the instructor who is so awesome? ?And how often do we do this same thing in so many aspects of our lives? ?Compare yourself to the self of last week.  ?Much bett...

Greetings from Zeist, First of all, I know it’s Friday morning. Sometimes I record TT in the afternoon and then I get home and there are kids and dinner and basketball practice and it takes time to export it from my phone, edit the video, upload it to YouTube and … you get the idea.  But I’m persistent: I’m not going to change it to Friday Frolic. Thursday Thunder … but sometimes on a Friday morni...

Greetings from Driebergen, I’m going to walk the talk and keep this … short. ?AND powerful. Blaise Pascal said: ? “I’m sorry I wrote you such a long letter. I didn’t have time to write you a short one.” ?Shorter is usually better, usually takes more time than longer, and you have to do nasty stuff like … edit. Yuck. ?In keeping with the theme, I’ll stop writing and give you 6 minutes to watch “Kor...

Greetings from Driebergen, I was lighting a candle this morning and noticed the lighter was on “high.” The little knob let out lots of gas for a big flame. But I was just lighting a candle.  I only need the tiniest of flames to light a candle. Then that candle can light the rest of the candles in my house. It could also start a fire in the fireplace (well, if we had one … ), and it could even burn...

Greetings from Florence, Italy, A friend gave me a list of words last week and he wanted me to choose just one that most represented my business. I ?can’t remember them all and some were sure tempting (creativity, productivity, trust) ?but one of them stood out at the top: ? ?Confidence.  ?I ?figured if I ?just had a little more of that one I ?could achieve the other ones–or at least it would help...

Greetings from Driebergen, What are you up to on Sunday? If you could create the day exactly as you’d like, what would it be like? If I could create a day, and invite 6 others to join us, here’s what it would look like. Until we meet in the woods… Bradley P.S. Oh wait. Sounds like something you might like to join?

Greetings from Driebergen, We’ve been back from the States for about 5 weeks. I’ve now lost about 5 kilos.  ??8/30 — 85.7 9/3 — 84.0 9/10 — 83.1 9/17 — 82.0 9/24 — 82.1 10/1 — 81.6 10/5 — 80.8 It’s Friday morning as I ?type (and record) ?this. I ?weigh myself weekly on Friday morning.  Guess which evenings the intermittent fasting goes more easily? ? Yep: ? ???Tuesday Wednesday and especially: Thu...

Greetings from highway A12, You know when someone tells you something you could (READ: should) do and you don’t do it and you don’t know why you don’t do it (because it’s a good idea) and you finally, after years, realize that this is what you should be doing and then you make the bold statement that you’re going to do that that?  Then you’re going to do it over and over?  So that happened on Tues...

Greetings from Driebergen, ?Play. ?We all know what it is. But do we do it? ?What are the benefits of it? ? ?Just to compare and contrast, here are few terms for you to swish around while watching: ? Matter vs. Energy Particle vs. Wave Chronos vs. Kairos Work vs. Play ?Recognize any of those? ? ?10 minutes from the woods to get you to go out and play–and allow, let in, surrender to the greatness t...

Greetings from the exotic islands in the north of The Netherlands, ?Well, at least that’s where  David Chislett  is. ?In the coming weeks and months, I’m going to focusing more and more on  Ambassadors . I’m planning on making it the focus of my monthly newsletter ( The 17th ). ?You may remember last week I ?had top quality video and audio thanks to the team at  BFF Visuals . They produced David’s...

Greetings an audio visual studio in Amsterdam, Wait! Where’s Pepper!? I know. So crazy. I said yes to something and one thing lead to another. Here’s the mathematical formula:  Know the outcome of when you say no Don’t know the outcome of when you say yes Say yes Be open to what happens Explore Adventure Play If you say yes to something unknown in the coming week, reply to this email or comment un...

Greetings from the woods of Driebergen, I’m going to keep this introduction short.  It’s about frequency. I see it in two forms:  Calendar:  daily, weekly, monthly? How often should we do things, what are the things we should do, and with how much intensity should we do them? Radio:  the radio waves are out there and always transmitting. All you need to do is tune into your frequency to connect. A...

Greetings again from Bologna, Italy, We made it to the football (soccer) match. It was super fun. Had it been easy to get tickets, that would have been the end of the story.  It turns out, getting the tickets WAS the story.  What if the destination, the goal, is the journey?  Could we have it backwards? Is it possible that “getting to the game” is at least as important (or memorable or fun) as “be...

Greetings from Bologna, Italy, I ?had a call this morning with a partner, colleague, friend. For an hour, we batted around ideas, gave feedback, and took the criticism and praise. ?Did you catch that last part? ? ??Criticism Praise ?It’s not all rainbows and unicorns. When we “debate” something on our own, we only have our own opinion, experience, and mindset. When we dare to open up our ideas and...

Greetings from Driebergen, Back in The Netherlands after 3 weeks in the States.  I had forgotten 1 thing about travel: it’s addictive. If you do it, you want to do more. You can get used to it, better at it, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to do more and more until you can go no more.  See you next week from a brand-new location.  Bradley [ https://youtu.be/UlksWWaEzx8 ]

Greetings from South Lake Tahoe, California, U.S., In last week’s  Thursday Thunder episode , we talked about how it had been more than a year that I had written daily. This week, I have physical, even visceral, proof of how powerful it can be when we get our thoughts out on a regular basis.  My sister gave me a bunch of old photo albums, most of which my mom had put together over the years, that...

Greetings from Truckee, California, U.S., There was something missing over the past 10 days of our vacation. I couldn’t pinpoint it but then yesterday morning it hit me.  ?I ?don’t know if it’s the same for you but when I’m not doing this one simple thing, I’m not living my life to the fullest.  ?Yep, it’s pretty much that simple.  ?Make it a great weekend.  Bradley [ https://youtu.be/sMS-a1c8iyY...

Greetings from Lake Chelan, Washington, This is an episode about nudging, collaboration, and co-creation. I have been bugging (nagging, pleading, begging, asking, daring … ) with Adwynna MacKenzie to get the audiobook version of her bestselling book, Carefree, started. There’s good news and bad news. The good news? She started. The bad news? You only get one chapter. For now. Want more? Want to he...

Greetings from Driebergen, I ?took up a DARE to try a new software. Well, software I ?knew (Canva) but a new feature: ?video!  ?I ?was running out of time today and gave it my best shot but I ?knew I wasn’t going to make it. It’s  terrible . (But did you notice there’s a link? ?I dare post my terrible attempt at something?)  ?It’s good to (1) receive the dares, especially from  friends , and then...

Greetings from Driebergen, I love to record audiobooks. I might even like it more than I like writing the books.  ?In this video, I give a bit of insight into the behind the scenes of audiobook pricing and the percentages we as authors and narrators get.  ?It’s not pretty. ?Well, unless I ?can deliver direct. Which I ?now can.  Make it a great Thursday. Bradley [ https://youtu.be/AWS6vZmv6_4 ]

Greetings from Driebergen, Thanks to the numbering of these weekly videos, I realized it’s the 26th week of the year–exactly halfway.  I hope you have moved forward from the beginning of the year but I seem to want to go even further back and  get my foundation solid . Although I’m doing 27 projects at a time, how are the basics? What about the core of your offerings? The roots of the tree, the fo...
