Hi, Stuart Gauffi here. Do you remember a particular teacher who made a difference in your life? I know I do. My friend David H. Lawrence XVII has put together an amazing free course that shows teachers how to teach online. Here’s the thing: it’s not a free webinar that tries to get you to sign up for a paid… Read more

I use a USB data blocker to prevent unwanted connections on the go. There are also cables that claim to be charge-only, but you need to be careful; some of the ones that make that claim are just plain charge/sync cables.

My wife (the piano teacher) says this frequently. Much better (more actionable) than “practice makes perfect”.

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. They say that the old sayings are the best. And the one I’m sharing with you today is from the turn of the 20th century. It is still powerful, and very very important […]

I remember seeing a book once with a title that has stuck with me. I haven’t read the book, but the title alone is right on this point: “No One Can Drive You Crazy Unless You Give Them The Keys” (IIRC). But it does take a lot of courage and wisdom to be able to recognize when your abilities and knowledge are at a place where you can… Read more

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. I want to concentrate over the last videos I do in this series about things you can safely get rid of. It’s kind of the “do less of what doesn’t [work]” part of […]

Previously known as FOTU (Fear of the Unknown), or–in TAPUA (The Age Preceding Ubiquitous Acronymery)–xenophobia.

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. We’ve chatted before about FOMO, or the Fear Of Missing Out. But today, I want to talk about a darker version, a more limiting version of that same feeling. I call […]

All so very true. The environment set by the leadership becomes contagious, be it positive or negative. It is a delight to have a tribe wherein encouragement is the norm (even for those of us who are only marginally related). David, all the tribes you lead have this in common–that should be a clue, and a great source of pride for you.

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. Short and sweet today. I’m so proud of the community we’ve created. I just want to brag on them for a few minutes. Hope you’ll understand. And maybe follow […]

I know it’s been a while since you worked for the government, so I thought I’d clear up one point. The federal government is required to pay either by the date agreed upon in the contract, or 30 days after receipt of an invoice. The days of 180-day payment lags are gone. See U.S. Code § 3903.Regulations for the specific language (section 39… Read more

The problem with “fake it til you make it” is that it assumes that “making it” is the only potential outcome. The truth is that there are many more potential outcomes, most of which are unpleasant, painful, and potentially dangerous. When the odds of the desired outcome are one out of many, it’s not a good bet.

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. I just re-read an article I first came across a couple of years ago in Inc. Magazine, by Jordan Scheltgen, and it was worth reading as I welcome a whole crop of eager […]

“Do more of what works; and less of what doesn’t.” It’s simple, but are you keeping track?

Brilliant observation. The person to talk to is the other person in the scene with you, not a person in the audience. I’ve never thought of that person as a member of the audience, but it’s so easy to see why someone might (based on common coaching), and also easy to see how it would be easy for a coach to overlook it as what might be… Read more

Cultures tell stories as a means to communicate themes and provide a foundation for discussion of important ideas, both good and bad. I haven’t seen “Joker” yet, but there’s a similar thematic treatment in the third season of Marvel’s Daredevil series. The character that will become Bullseye has a life that leads him to give in to his… Read more

This is where the reality of the business comes in, and your advice is terrific here: always frame the casting question in terms of how you can make the client’s life easier. We can get all worked up about the art, and fairness, and a hundred other issues. But when you stop and consider that the client is a person whose life is every bit… Read more

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. I saw a posting on Facebook recently that quoted several casting directors on why they love self-taped auditions. Three reasons stuck out. One stuck out in a very bad way.

FWIW, some of Harry Shearer’s pre-live segments are on YouTube under his Found Objects collection.

Wonderful message. It’s funny to me that, being a technologist as well, when I saw the oddities going on, I just knew automatically that it was switch-over glitches. (It probably helped that we had talked shortly before then, and I knew it was coming.) So, instead of concern for your well-being, my thought was, “yeah, he knows stuff’s… Read more

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. Every so often – the tech gets the best of me. When we switched over to having these videos published on VOHeroes instead of the old site, there was a glitch, and […]
