In this episode of Hacking Normal, I go into detail about what 'hacking normal' means. What is my definition of hacking? What is my definition of normal? How do those two concepts come together?

This episode sets us up to talk about the major topics of the future such as work, life, health, books, ideas, futurology, interviews, questions, and processes. Each episode will aim to make you question your 'normal' in the hopes that you'll find at least one thing that will help you set a better course.

001 - Hacking Normal, An Introduction

In this episode of Hacking Normal, we talk about a question that was posed to the Quora community by a man named Mark M. Mark wants to know how he, at the age of 54, can start his life over again. I argue that it's not a restart that he needs, but a realignment of priorities.

To realign your priorities, it takes five steps: 

1. Visualize where you want to go
2. Set your guiding principles
3. Implement some SHMAT goals
4. Celebrate your victories
5. Reflect on your journey

005 - Remote Worker Definition, Basic Skills, & What They Don't Tell You

It has been a year and a half since John and I posted our last show together (Episode #046). The morning we were supposed to record Episode #047, I had a chalkboard marked up to talk about email automation - one of John's favorite topics, 

When John didn't show up at our scheduled 7a.m. recording time, I texted him, "Podcast today?" but there was no reply. 

Later that morning, we were heartbroken to discover that he had passed away quietly in his sleep sometime during the night.  

I recorded this show today - the first in 18 months - to announce the posthumous release on John's book, Hacking Normal, on Amazon.com. The book is about another of John's favorite topics - how to work remotely and gain more control of your time, location, and income.

I also announce today that I am resuming the show and will soon begin uploading new episodes.

Please join me in this episode to honor and remember the remarkable and irreplaceable John Stevenot! 

Thanks, Ted

This week's show is a re-post of one of the more popular shows I did with John on how to turbo charge your prospecting results. 

Your sales activity needs to:

1. Connect you with new people / others.
2. Drive other activity.
3. Lead to an offer.

While the definition is simple, the application of this sales prospecting technique is almost never done correctly. Listen and see if you are doing things the right way...or the wrong way.

Enjoy!
