18 years ago, a struggling actor named Bryan Cranston made a shift that changed his life. His mindset (and how you can use it to change yours): Bryan was going from audition to audition but not getting parts. He was trying to win the job each time. But he...

Funny how a small shift in thinking can lead to massive changes in your results.

Yes. It's also a specific application of the subtle art of not giving a fuck. He adjusted where to focus on what he was caring about: how unique and original he could make his performance. Then let go.

Same system, different domain: Nick Saban’s focus on “The Process.” You can’t control the outcome. But you can control how you prepare to produce the outcome you desire.

That's a cool connection. Yes - this worked for Seneca and works across so many domains. Simple in concept. Not easy to apply. It's why I like finding these video moments as reminders to myself.

That quote from Seneca is one of my favorites. Great embodiment of its principles in real life. Love these clips you're finding!

An audition that interprets the character in a unique way absolutely stands out. A YES DAY audition comes to mind. An actress saw the scene differently than others (a negotiation as opposed to a fight), and that POPPED on camera. She got the part. And she’s a big star now.

He was making $150,000 per episode (22 episode seasons) on Malcolm in the Middle, 19 years ago, Malcolm in the Middle wrapped early 2006 (17 years ago - again, $150,000/ episode). He was cast as Walter White September 2006. You’re just making stuff up.

It boils down to this concept of signal-to-noise ratio. Steve was not a nice guy, but he was myopically focused on his business in an almost perverse way. He worked 18 hours a day. And I've started to realize that he didn't let anything get in the way of whatever tasks he had to achieve in that 18-hour period. Not a long vision for the year, not for the month, for that day. He didn't let anything get in the way of the four or five things he was going to get done that day. Elon Musk is 100% signal, zero noise. I've seen him walk away from a conversation the minute he realized that there was no useful information in it. But look at what he's achieved. So, what I've learned is you have to figure out how much noise in the day are you gonna actually let distract you from the goals you have to achieve that day.

Kevin O'Leary says Steve Jobs taught him the one skill every entrepreneur needs to master "I learned this from Steve Jobs. I told this story countless times. He was not a nice guy, but in the 90s, I made all of his software for the Mac in schools, 110,000 buildings. He was an absolute a**hole, but he taught me some very important things, and he was wildly successful." "He said that each day, including you, each day there will be three things you have to get done, just three, and that's called the signal." "And there's going to be a plethora of things that are going to stop you from doing that and that's called the noise. So the only thing you have to get good at in your life to be an entrepreneur is to distinguish what's signal and what's noise." "And then you do not let noise get in the way of getting the three things done. They get done first."

VIDEO | Hyderabad, Telangana: Tanvi Kuncha, sister of 28-year-old Anshul Kuncha who was shot dead in US, requests the Ministry of External Affairs to expedite the repatriation of Anshul’s mortal remains. The bereaved sister says, "The only request that I have from the External Ministry of Affairs is to bring back my brother's body as soon as possible. Initially they told us that the body would be brought back by Monday or Tuesday, but now we are getting an estimate of Thursday or Friday and we do not want to keep his body back there for so long. My brother was a very happy, joyous person and the sweetest person that you would ever meet...." She added, "He went to do his masters in Business Analytics in Drexel University, and then he got a full-time job at an MNC. He used to work as a part-time in this pizza delivery shop while he was doing his masters, but only on the weekends. What we know is that he was called to a vacant house and once he delivered the pizzas and was heading back to his vehicle, he was shot in his head from behind."

I can't stop thinking about this... Michael Caine on his defining philosophy on life: Use the Difficulty As a young actor, he was rehearsing a play scene when a chair got stuck in the door and blocked his path. He told the other actor he couldn't get by the chair to enter the room in the scene. The actor's response: "Use the difficulty...if it's a comedy, fall over it, if it's a drama, pick it up and smash it." This story offers a powerful reframe: Every single difficulty you face is an opportunity in disguise. The difficulty is a guarantee. The struggle. The obstacle. The frustration. The failure. The hurt. The setback. They will come. You don’t get to choose whether they appear, or when, but you do get to choose how you handle them. How can you use the difficulty you're currently facing? - Can you embrace this struggle? - Can you grow through it? - Can you find flow through friction? If you were reading a biography of your life, what would make this difficulty into an inflection point? The moment when everything turned for the better. The unmistakable point where everything changed. How would you have responded to this moment? The difficulty is a guarantee. You can't control it. But you can control how you react to it. You can control your response to it. You can control your attitude towards it. You can use the difficulty.

Zimbabwean politician and lawyer Job Sikhala, who was arrested last night in Pretoria, will spend the weekend in police custody and is expected to appear in court on Monday alongside his uncle. Job Sikhala was trapped. He had been warned that a setup was being organised to get him arrested, but Job being Job, he thought nothing of it. You will fully understand that this matter is yet to be heard before the courts, so I cannot say more than this, otherwise he would be prejudiced. The full story will be heard in court. This should serve as a lesson to all Zimbabweans opposed to the 2030 agenda that this regime will stop at nothing to crush its perceived enemies both home and abroad, and will spend any amount of money to trap and silence them. If you are in the opposition, beware of three important things; strangers offering to help your cause, offers that seem too good to be true, and if you are a man, be cautious of women. This regime has a well-documented history of using women to lure and entrap men involved in opposition politics. Luckily for Job, it was not a case of a honey trap. The full details will be revealed in court.

Update on Jaxson Crull! Crull is starting a job with ONEOK as a Systems analyst at the end of the month. He knew after this season he was going to hang it up, and left OSU very happy with his time as a Cowboy. Although he wasn’t an every day guy at times, he loved helping find a way for the team to win. But, just because his playing days are over doesn't mean his connection to the program will be any less. Not Close! He's gonna remain connected to the program by coming back to visit a lot and seeing the guys still on the team. Ian was his roommate and those two were super close. Crull made it very clear that he thinks it's great for the team to have Ian and Aidan back because they were two of the biggest leaders on the team last year. It does not matter what walk of life Crull partakes in, he will ALWAYS rise to the top. Whoever gets him, in whatever walk of life, is getting total quality. #GoPokes #OkState

Sometimes you wonder how a guy will do, but with Khabib it was never a question. He was always going to be a champion. He was not getting beat. If they let you bring a chrome bat with you to the octagon, that is how you were going to beat him. Because he was good, he knew exactly what he was going to do, you knew exactly what he was going to do, but it didn’t matter." (Via Prince St. Pizza )

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on why most leaders fail at meritocracy: "One of the tough things about management is you have to get rid of the bad people." Dimon argues that leaders often talk about meritocracy but fail to act on it. Execution is the problem, not philosophy. "Very often you have people who are unwilling to get rid of the bad people. Bad could be because their culture is bad. It also could be because they're not good enough." He points to the difference between business and sports: "In sport, if you're not batting 250, you're not going to be playing second base. You take out a pitcher who's not doing a good job. In business, they're left in those jobs for a long time." Dimon recalls being challenged early in his career after demoting a long-tenured employee named Joe. Someone asked: "How can I be loyal to you when you weren't loyal to Joe?" He couldn't answer in the moment. But the next day, he called back: "You got it backwards. If I was loyal to Joe and kept him in the job and most people thought he just wasn't doing a good job anymore, who am I being disloyal to? Everybody else and the customer." His advice: "You have to be very careful in management about why you're doing and what you're doing..." Keeping the wrong people in place is the fastest way to lose the right ones.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on why most leaders fail at meritocracy: "One of the tough things about management is you have to get rid of the bad people." Dimon argues that leaders often talk about meritocracy but fail to act on it. Execution is the problem, not philosophy. "Very often you have people who are unwilling to get rid of the bad people. Bad could be because their culture is bad. It also could be because they're not good enough." He points to the difference between business and sports: "In sport, if you're not batting 250, you're not going to be playing second base. You take out a pitcher who's not doing a good job. In business, they're left in those jobs for a long time." Dimon recalls being challenged early in his career after demoting a long-tenured employee named Joe. Someone asked: "How can I be loyal to you when you weren't loyal to Joe?" He couldn't answer in the moment. But the next day, he called back: "You got it backwards. If I was loyal to Joe and kept him in the job and most people thought he just wasn't doing a good job anymore, who am I being disloyal to? Everybody else and the customer." His advice: "You have to be very careful in management about why you're doing and what you're doing..." Keeping the wrong people in place is the fastest way to lose the right ones.

KIDS: One of the hardest things for talented players as they move up levels is to accept and excel in a role that may be a little bit lower in the lineup than what they’re used to. Every level you go up, there are more and more talented players and more often than not you’ll have to earn your way up the lineup. The best way to do that is to play your role to the best of your ability to build trust with the coach so that when time comes for changes in the lineup, they see your value and want to bump you up. Be the hardest worker, do the little things, and excel in the role you’ve been given. Tye Kartye was well over a point per game in the OHL. Three years ago he was the AHL rookie of the year. A few weeks ago he was a healthy scratch for Seattle. And this clip is what is going to earn him more ice time and a chance to have an impact. Check out the second, third, and fourth efforts he gives on this goal. Battles, gets knocked down, comes up with the puck, and then uses his skill and is rewarded with the assist. It’s easy for talented players to have a bad attitude when asked to play a role lower in the lineup. It’s obviously not good for the team, but it’s not good for the player either as they try to get out of it. A great attitude, an insatiable work ethic, and excelling in the role you’ve been given is what EARNS you more ice time and roles. Great job by Kartye!!
