The Magic of Homo Sapiens
Welcome to the one day at a time podcast where we forget about yesterday. We don't worry about tomorrow. It's what are we going to do today? This all matters because you've only ever had or will ever have the fantastic twenty four hours a day you're about to embark on. Hopefully this episode is going to give you some daily dose of wisdom that you can take action on today to improve your life.
Speaker 1:Remember, all it takes is one day at a time. Good morning. Quick one today. Don't wanna keep you around too long. It's Thursday.
Speaker 1:Get your steps in. Don't mess about. Get up. If you're in bed listening to this, get up. If you're on your phone, get off it.
Speaker 1:Just listen. Good comment yesterday. So I spoke yesterday about tribe. What does tribe mean to you? What should a tribe mean?
Speaker 1:Good question, like, do tribe mean? And touch upon, like, the history of the human race, history of Homo sapiens. Right? You have I think everybody should be fascinated and also interested in the history of anything they do. If your job is, you know, a teacher, I think there should be an amount of inquisitive, like an inquisitive nature into looking at like, what does teaching look like ever since the start of teaching, like have a deep understanding.
Speaker 1:And to have a deep understanding of human behaviour, you go back to how Homo sapiens even survived. We weren't the only like humanoid race. Like there was Neanderthals who were bigger than us. And now it said that they had better tools than us. And apparently there was more than us.
Speaker 1:How did we lose out to bigger, stronger, like rivals? The reason homo sapiens survived and we've taken over the planet is because we work together. We were able to communicate and we were able to leave artifacts behind and symbols to coordinate attacks and defenses to pull together resources, work together. And by doing that, we were able to, you know, wipe I'm not sure they, like, purposely wiped everyone out, but was able to just, like, expand and keep going. There's a good, like, I think it's like a a Christian story when I was in school and they say like, there's a giant spoon on the table and everybody's trying to eat their soup.
Speaker 1:So there's a giant tape. Think of this now. There's a giant table. I'm talking huge, like 25 feet long. And there's a massive spoon in the table.
Speaker 1:It's the only spoon you can use to eat out of your bowl. And you try and use this and this spoon is, like, two meters long. You're trying to use the spoon to, like, go into your own bowl into your own mouth, but because it's so long, you can't do it. The only way you can feed or get get fed is if you use the spoon and feed someone the opposite side of the table, so you have to help someone else out and then other people have to help, this is the only way to utilise that tool. So the story there is like you have to help someone else to get help back, do know I mean?
Speaker 1:And that's basically the crux of homo sapiens. So when it comes to tribes and finding people to support you and stuff, think that is one of the most important things is to realise that we have evolved, have survived due to teamwork. And there's a few people like, look, independence is important, like independent of, you know, you're going to do what you want to do what you want to do in your life, you want to be independent financially, because you don't want be like, getting told what to do and doing something you absolutely hate just to pay the bills. Well, some of us have to do it. We've had everyone's had to do at our own point.
Speaker 1:Like, you know, we all have to work to pay the bills, but we don't have to do everything on our own. That's the point. So if any of you listening, you haven't done your weekly check-in, maybe you haven't posted in a group you haven't reached out to someone you've seen is in a similar scenario do reach out to them do message because ultimately that is the point like that's what we're best at as humans, helping and collaborative being, being in collaboration with each other, especially when the common goal is shared. So and especially in this case, there's gonna be lots of you who've seen posts on Facebook and gone, oh my god, that person is so inspirational. I wish and similar to me, I wish I could be that person.
Speaker 1:And I've never reached out to that person. So your one big thing today is anyone that has inspired you in the the in the Facebook group, in the Striker Solo turtle membership, and you've not really had a chance to speak to, And you've always want to ask a question. We just wanna say that they inspire you. Send them a message. Tell them they inspire you.
Speaker 1:Tell them you respect them and get the ball rolling on that because these those are the things that change your life. It's not so much like you can lose fat. Yes. Cool like that that you will, you know, lose fat healthy, that will change your life. But the friendships and stuff and the connections you make and the support you get from that will be a bigger life changer.
Speaker 1:I see it all the time in in, like, business courses and stuff where they do, like, you know, live training for four to six weeks, it's not the thing you learn that's important, it's the people you meet on that four to six week cohort. And you meet them and you're like, oh you do this and I do that I'll meet meet this person they I think they would. I think they would work well with you and you meet that and that's how it's happened now where I'm speaking to the guy that founded Udemy, and he's he set up he's got a new tech company, found cofounded with the person that worked for Seth Gordon, who set up Alt MBA. So they've co founded a new tech company, cohort based learning. Like like kind of what we're doing with the challenges, like a software, a tool that's going to bring it all together and make it more sleek, instead of a Facebook group and zoom and everything like that, make him more sleek, and it's going to be huge, right, you know, Udemy is like a 3,000,000,000 a year company.
Speaker 1:But I never would have been introduced to this guy if I didn't do this like business course I did like his business like writing thing I did like a like a year ago. And then I met people through that and I helped them with their ads and I helped them with email strategy. And I shared my like things with them. And then I got put in touch with someone else and that someone else was like, you look, they're doing their first initial investment round, you should get in touch with them to speak about like, what you guys do because it's interesting and I spoke to them and then you know, had a zoom call with him and a chat with him. Now we're potentially collabing on an educational thing moving forward.
Speaker 1:So that didn't come from me doing that business because it came from me just chatting to as many people that I that I saw was inspiring, asking for advice, giving help to other people like I have loads of people in terms of giving knowledge for free. Just like taking zoom calls with them, just going through zoom causes some people I've never met Do you know, do you to jump on a zoom comment? Yeah, 100%. You're in the same course as me. So we've got a common goal.
Speaker 1:Let's get on. And I want you all of you guys to do that as well. You never know what it leads to like how many people accept the businesses since the Octagon Challenge is actually phenomenal. But anyway, your one big thing is to reach out to someone who's inspired you, who you want to ask a question to wherever. And, that's it.
Speaker 1:You know, track macros, obviously, ideally, right? No mercy. But that's your one big thing. And that's it really that's what you got to do. And tonight a quick reminder a new item I'm gonna say this is stuttering away, tonight seven pm book club is with in in guest speaker, collaborator, Ryan Williams, who is a mental health nurse.
Speaker 1:So we're gonna talk about the book club last week. Spoke about, you know, going back into the world, anxiety and stuff. So this week is gonna be similar topic. The world's opening up. We've got a we've got a timeline.
Speaker 1:And, yeah, any questions in terms of mental health, anxiety, you know, depression and stuff like that will be answered. And hopefully, we'll all feel better after it and learn something. So see you in book club tonight. And that's it. Thank you for listening to the one day at a time podcast with your host, Galf Lear.
Speaker 1:Hopefully, you understood something I said. I hope that some wisdom kind of distilled through into your mind, and I want you to now action it today. I don't want you to think about tomorrow. I don't want you to think about yesterday. I don't want you to think about leaving a review on this podcast.
Speaker 1:I don't want you to think about going to another website. What I want you to do is as soon as this podcast ends, you will take action and make the most of today. Ground yourself today. Follow the one day at a time philosophy, and your life will change.
