"Escaping Social Media Hell" - UpTrust on Embodiment Coaching Podcast (Podcast #3). on apple / spotify / embodiment site

This is the one I did last week, that y'all's feedback helped me prep for. I started a little stilted but I think we catch a flow pretty quickly, and in any case we get to the point a lot faster.

I think this is probably the most approachable of the 3 so far, but I'll be curious what y'all think. Mark does a great job asking pointed questions, and somewhere in the middle it finally 'clicks' and he gets pretty excited about it.

Renee I took inspiration from your suggestion and flipped it—offered at the beginning he could coach me :) He didn't take me up on it but i think it was one of a few pieces that set the right tone.  

Would love y'all's feedback on podcasts: here's number #1 . Part of our plan for growing is for me to go on a series of increasingly popular podcasts. I feel great about doing relateful podcasts, but feel like I still need a lot of practice for UpTrust. here's the first one:

"Solving Social Media with Jordan Myska Allen" (i don't get to pick the titles)

• Youtube: https://youtu.be/i2MSY1K9wTc
• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/solving-social-media-with-jordan-myska-allen/id1714481300?i=1000692941322
• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6XFLyfHXj7S0OnwdweFfab 

I would love any kind of feedback. What works for you? What doesn't? Any specific phrases stick out as good/bad? What's the most boring? Most interesting? Surprising? etc

Wisdom Enter(tr)ainment: . If you are old enough to remember the Seinfeld show, you may remember the episode where George Castanza needs to read a complicated book, but he’s addicted to audio books to make it interesting.

We’ve entered a new era with NotebookLM from Google. I was curious about this tool, and realized I had a perfect test case. I moved to Boulder, Colorado to work with Patty Beach on building an app for Alignment, based on her book:

https://www.amazon.com/Art-Alignment-Practical-Inclusive-Leadership/dp/1544516711

Alignment might seem like a simple concept, but it actually takes quite a bit of experience navigating nuance to achieve in a team of diverse people.

I’ve tried to explain why it’s tricky, and why this process can make a huge difference in people getting out of their own way when attempting to collaborate. So I uploaded a PDF copy of the book to NotebookLM and hit generate podcast and 10 minutes later, I have a 20 minute podcast that has done a better job than I ever could have. Check it out:

(I sent to podcast to Patty, and she was also blown away).
