There’s No Place Like Home
Lost https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug30_Post.mp4 Once I went hiking with a buddy. A week long hike. Part of our plan was to cut across this mountain range. If we walked around the mountain range, it would have taken an extra six hours or so. But if we cut across, like our guidebook recommended was […]
Melodramatic Love Power
Quick Solo https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug29_Post.mp4 I’m a big fan of old school, guitar based rock. And I really love long guitar solos. But there are a couple ones that are really simple, really short, but somehow very inspiring. Both are similar, in that they only have a right range of notes. Not like […]
Twin Weapons Of Love
Love Metaphors https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug28_Post.mp4 We use metaphors much more than we realize. Even when we talk about science we use metaphors.

The Stradivarius Seduction Pattern
Learning Rhythm https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug16_Post.mp4 One time, way back in college, I took a jazz appreciation class. I knew nothing about music, at all, at the time.

Become A Social Hypnosis Master
Powerful Skill https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July15_Post.mp4 The idea of hypnosis is very compelling. To say a phrase or collection of phrases, and easily move people’s emotions. The more “hypnotic phrases” you can string together, the more likely they’ll work. Dr. Milton Erickson was famous for creating 1-2 HOUR storytelling sessions. These were so powerful […]
The Most Powerful Force On Earth
You Can Run But… https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr26_Post.mp4 Market bubbles are an interesting thing. They represent the extreme of human emotions. Even non-bubble markets are fascinating, from a psychological standpoint. It’s easy to fall into the “logical” trap when looking at stock charts. Stock charts themselves, separate from what they represent, are a statistician’s […]
Never Do Anything Wrong Again
Kids And Cheats https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr18_Post.mp4 When I was a kid, video arcades were popular. Put in a quarter, and play as long as you could. Many games had cheats. Of course, this was long before the Internet, so to get a cheat you had to know somebody. Otherwise, you had to learn […]
Leave Your Pavlovian Bell At Home
Nurture And Nature https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr12_Post.mp4 There are two general schools of thought about what makes us who we are as individuals. There’s the blank slate side of the spectrum. That our minds are completely programmable. That with the right training, we can be “programmed” to do pretty much anything our “programmers” want us […]
