An extract from this audio download from Ladybird - packed with all the popular nursery songs and rhymes that children tend to learn at nursery and school. Research has shown that parents often don't know the words to popular nursery songs so this is a great resources for both parents and nursery teachers.

Have fun learning the words and singing along to favourite songs such as Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Five Speckled Frogs,  The Wheels on the Bus, The House that Jack Built, Sleeping Bunnies, Wind the Bobbin Up and more.

The Most Important Word - Audio Podcast

People ask me all the time, "How do I get covered in the New York Times, or how do I get that meeting with that CEO?" My response? 1 is greater than 0. 

What I mean by this is that people underestimate the steps it takes to get to the biggest places in the world. It just doesn't happen over night. You've got to put in the work and you've got to continuously provide value to whomever you're trying to reach, be it an audience of a million, or an audience of 1. 

If you want to get the prominent news coverage or that high-profile meeting with today's luminaries, you need to do a lot of the little things to build up your cadence to actually get those opportunities. Because people have seen me on shows like Ellen, or Conan, The Today Show, or CNN, they often ask how they could get those opportunities for themselves, and the hard truth of it all is that you've got to earn it. You've got to put in the time to get asked to get that coverage. Before I was ever covered by any of these big names, I was doing interviews and appearances on shows that only received 1, or 19 or 137 views. But why? Why would I do that? Because those few views, that extra one view, is so much greater than none at all.

So, are you willing to take ten minutes to get 150 views? Because I am. It's not always about the width or the size of the platform. It's about the value you're providing to the people who took the time out of their lives to listen to you. Whether that's a group of ten or one hundred, or one million - It's all the same. And the value you set out to provide each time should remain as such. 

So my advice is to put in the work and do all of the little things that you don't want to do. Nothing is going to come easy so stop looking for that one golden moment. Work on expanding your reach and building your network through the value you can provide, regardless of the "reach" or the audience that may be present. Intent trumps all. And if you stick with that notion, there may just be that one person in that crowd of 5, 10, 15 people who can drastically change the course of your journey. 


One is Greater than Zero

There is something that is rarely talked about in the business world and I want to start building more attention for it.

That thing is self-awareness.

I’m upset that the narrative these days is that everyone needs to be number one, own a company, be in charge. A lot of people are going to lose that way.

Self-awareness allows people to recognize what things they do best so they can then go hard on those aspects of their life. It also helps you accept your weaknesses.

What works for one person doesn’t work for everyone. I want people to learn to be at peace with themselves, to understand what they can offer, because everyone’s got something. The key, however, is learning how to find it.

Self-awareness can help you do that.

Self-awareness is being able to accept your weaknesses while focusing all of your attention on your strengths.

The moment you decide to accept your shortcomings and bet entirely on your strengths, things will change. Trust me.

Gaining Momentum- A 4 - Step Process For Starting Every Day Productively - College Info Geek

For my friend Thomas Frank, he got a head start by focusing his college time on making money, learning, and writing blogs about his findings and journey.  He thought it would be cool to submit a guest blog post to a reputable site only to find out they would deny him. That didn’t stop him.  He decided to create his own site.  After doing multiple blogs, one finally took off and got many views.  Then he knew he had something.

ONE LIFE

In this compilation&nbsp;I go deep into my lifelong strategy of micro speed and macro patience. Just because Mark Zuckerberg put on a hoodie and built one of the biggest businesses in the world doesn't mean that EVERYONE can do the same. Mark is a special breed, who built a special product, at a special time. He's an assassin as a businessman and just because it feels like he did it overnight, doesn't mean that we all can become just as successful or even a fraction of it in the same amount of time. There's no shortcuts in life and everything that matters takes time. Stop rushing and looking for the easy way out because there is none - period. Please take a listen to this one as so many of you need to hear it.&nbsp;

Why is Everyone In a Rush?

Here's 22 minutes of straight fire from my time in Brussels in February. For those that are close to my content, you'll know that every time&nbsp;I'm on the road and have some time I try my best to schedule an impromptu meetup with local fans - an opportunity for my die-hards to come out, take selfies, ask questions, etc. Love, love, love these nights and this one was no different. So many of my Belgian peeps came out and what ensued was epic! Check it out !!&nbsp;

Krishna Das – Pilgrim Heart - Ep. 48 – Practice, Practice, Practice

This keynote I gave in London was nothing but FIRE. As you guys might know, I prefer Q&amp;A since most of my stuff is out there already, and in this one we answer questions about growing a successful business in one big shot versus slow and steady, how to decide when to say no to an opportunity, making mistakes in your business and career, and much more. Patience is key my friends. Nothing worthwhile has been built overnight and everyone selling you a short-term fix is selling you bullsh*t. Absolutely love talking in London and this interview was definitely one for the books. Please give it a listen!

It's all about finding a way to tell your story while finding a way to respect your users' time. Just remember that this time around it's more about CONTEXT than CONTENT. This can boil down to creating platform specific content, or simply respecting and engaging the way that a specific platform requires. This is one of my favorite keynotes, hope you enjoy ;)&nbsp;

Stop Storytelling Like It's 2007 | A Keynote: 99U

A father; a husband; a lover; a friend; a rabbi. This is the story about the making of a modern rabbi, his coming of age, and how he finds his place in in a confused and confusing world.

Michael Kind is raised in the Jewish cauldron of 1920s New York, familiar with the stresses and materialism of metropolitan life. Turning to the ancient set of ethics of his Orthodox grandfather, with a modern twist, he becomes a Reform rabbi. As insecure and sexually needy as any other young male, he serves as a circuit-rider rabbi in the Ozarks, and then as a temple rabbi in the racially ugly South, in a San Francisco suburb, in a Pennsylvania college town, and, finally, in a New England community west of Boston. Along the way, he falls deeply in love with and marries the daughter of a Congregational minister; she converts to Judaism and they have two complex, interesting children. Noah Gordon's picture of a brilliant and talented religious counselor - who at times is as bereft and uncertain as any of his congregants - is a deeply moving and very satisfying novel.

The Rabbi by Noah Gordon, Narrated by Nicholas Techosky

This was a fire keynote that I gave in Amsterdam a few weeks back to the Bookings.com crowd. One of the main themes here is why you should always keep Dying on your own sword in the back of your mind. As long as you keep this theme constantly in mind, and are doing this for yourself it keeps you at the top of the crowd. Another big theme here is practicality. If you're too far behind on emerging platforms and networks, you're not practical because you're not taking advantage of the massive potential there is to grab onto new audiences. I loved this one, and I hope you do too ;)
