Roleyshow

On today's podcast, let's talk a little about effectiveness.  I define effectiveness as your ability to Get. Shit. Done.   I'm not really talking about workrate, which is how much shit you can turn out, but rather HOW you work.  HOW you work is actually more important than how much you work.     It's taken me literally FOREVER to figure that last part out, because of how I was raised and what I have always believed. 

Today, I want to talk to you about commitment.  To me, commitment means those things in your life that you have placed in a priority, that you have carved out time for, that happens in a regular interval.    This is HARD for me to talk about on a few levels. 

Today, I want to talk to you about focus. For the purposes of this talk, let's define Focus as the things in your life that has your attention. Those things that have a priority, although I will say it's not always something that you have placed in priority, but circumstances might have. It may also be things that you have placed in priority because other things in your life that NEED to have a priority scare you.

Part 1 of a series this week.  On today's show, I want to talk to you about values. Now, this means a bunch of different things to a bunch of different people, but for the purposes of this talk, let's define values like this. Your values are a definition of who you are, shown by what you do, not by what you say.

Week 2 of the NFL, I'm 9-6 going into this week, let's see if I can improve that.   Next, I might need to book a trip to Camp Quityerbitchin.         SOCIAL @krisroley on TW, IG, FB and Patreon http://krisroley.com

Part of staying in flight is about admitting when we don’t fly so well.  Today, I didn’t fly very well at all, and I’m going to share that with you.    Also on the show, my opinion on the Equifax leak.  It’s pretty much what you think I’d say.     LINKS Key US Senators demand answers on Equifax Hacking — Reuters http://www.reuters.com/article/us-equifax-cyber-congress/key-u-s-senators-demand-answers-on-equifax-hacking-idUSKCN1BM2KG     SOCIAL @krisroley on TW, IG, FB and Patreon http://krisroley.com

At some point we have to look in the mirror and ask, “Am I OK with this?”  After watching the live coverage of Irma this morning as it hit Florida, I decided I was not OK with this.  None of us should be OK with this.       LINKS Charity Navigator http://charitynavigator.org     SOCIAL @krisroley on TW, IG, FB and Patreon http://krisroley.com

Roley picks Week 1 of the NFL.  He's not an expert, he's an Oakland fan so clearly, he hasn't seen good football in YEARS.     Next, there's an Irma update that came out during recording...   Finally he goes after PETA for some bullshit science that was debunked years ago.

I got triggered today over my fear and fascination with hurricanes. Irma finally has my attention because they mentioned that only Allen was a stronger storm in the Atlantic. Allen was the first hurricane of several that I've gone through, and Allen was more than enough. Also, a special word of encouragement to a friend who's in South Florida right now.

Roley talks to Tiger Mom Hanna Weatherington, who was very distraught about what happened to her boys on the first day of school. 

Roley waxes today about being at the tail end of raising kids, What’s Irma doing in the Caribbean, and Trump possibly ending DACA today.  That lead to a sidebar about Roley growing up in the 1980s, and remembering that as a pretty awesome time to be American.  In fact, most of the presidents since then gave you some kind of good feeling that things were going to be ok.   Roley isn’t feeling that right now, and that worries him.    LINKS Hurricane Irma—Weather Underground https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/atlantic/2017/tropical-storm-irma     SOCIAL @krisroley on TW, FB, IG and http://krisroley.com
