From ZenHabits:

Albert Einstein stated that “problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.” Einstein, of course, was right. Sometimes our problems require more than life hacks, tips, tweaks, etc. Sometimes our lives don’t need optimization, they need to be fundamentally reconfigured.

So What are Anti-Hacks?

From The Art of Manliness:

Last week we did a post on resurrecting the lost art of oratory and we will soon begin a weekly post on writing and delivering a great speech. But before we start that, we wanted to do a special post on the single piece of oratory almost every man will be asked to give at least once: the best man speech.

Indeed, at some point in your life, one of your buddies or your brother will probably ask you to be the best man in his wedding. This is a great honor. One of the duties of a best man is to give a speech wherein you say a few kind words about your friend/brother and his new wife. If you’ve been to many weddings, you know that oftentimes best man speeches can quickly devolve into an awkward, drunken spectacle. The mixture of booze and lack of preparation results in the best man rambling and sharing inappropriate and embarrassing stories about the groom in front of hundreds of family and friends.

If you don’t want to make yourself look like a huge ass and you want to truly be the best man, here are a few pointers to keep in mind as you prepare to give your speech:

Bootstrapping involves a lot of thinking outside the box and this post is no different. Cage fighting has grown in popularity in the recent year or so and since I’ve been a fan for 6-7 years now, it was the perfect time to talk about how cage fighting (mixed martial arts, the UFC, WEC, ect) can relate to small business.

Networking is not an optional before or after business hours activity. Networking is a vital and integral part of your success.

You do business between 9 and 5. You build business before and after "regular" business hours. The most powerful part of your business is not conducted during business hours.

How do you integrate networking into your business schedule? Ten hours a month of intelligent, selective networking can have a doubling effect on your business growth in just a few months.

Here is a list of 6 fundamental elements that will guide your netorking to the moon:

1. Network smart or you won't get the right results

"I wish I could get more leads when I network." Or if you say, "I go to networking events, but I don't get many prospects," it means you're not following the fundamental rules, or you're not networking where your prime prospects might be. Or both. Continue Reading

Below are an assortment of podcasts for all of those long commutes and extended days at the office. I tried to put together a varied list (though surprise, it skews towards technology) and include a few choices you might never of heard before.

In case you are wondering, I only included podcasts that “worked” without video, so some extremely popular and superb podcasts were purposefully left off.
