Just the pre-show with these three people here with me has made my week great. So we're off to a good start. I like the weekdays.
Mm-hmm.
Welcome in, everybody. Just going to give you a chance to filter in. Do you have your reframe your brain books with you for extra credit? We're going to do a reframe. Joshua Lysak is our guest professor today. We are thrilled every time he's here. I know you guys are too. And Owen and Marcella have picked out some great news stories for us to discuss in this second half of the program. Yeah. So, do you think we're all in here, you guys? Do you think everyone got in?
I think so. I see healthy numbers on all the platforms.
Healthy. All right, you guys. There's something we have to do first. Grab your vessel.
But if you'd like to enjoy the simultaneous sip, it doesn't take much. All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like me some coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine to the day, the thing that makes everything better. Simultaneous sip. Go.
That's the way to start the day. Tiger juice.
Anytime Scott made like an extra noise or a little whatever, I just laughed every time. I'm sure you guys did too.
Tiger juice it is.
Tiger juice. Welcome. My name is Erica. Welcome to the Scott Adams School. Our guest professor joining Marcella and Owen and myself is Joshua Lysak, your favorite and mine. Good morning, Joshua.
Good morning, Erica. Thanks for having me on.
Of course. We love it. Anytime.
So you guys- We need to stop the screen sharing.
We're screen sharing? What's happening? Oh, How's that?
I don't see it yet.
Hmm. How about now?
There we go.
Okay. Rumble Studio. Thank you. It's Monday. It's great. Okay, guys. Reframe your brain. So if you have it with you, the paperback is page 86. The reframe is called Take Some Chances. I'm just going to quickly read it. We'll discuss it for a few minutes, okay? So I felt like this was appropriate. There's been a lot going on. And this one I'm doing kind of personally for me. So I hope you enjoy it. I know it's one of our favorites. Okay. Take some chances. I talked about conquering embarrassment in the success reframed chapter because immunity to shaming is one of the most useful business and professional skills you can acquire. If you are lucky enough to succeed at anything meaningful, bad people will appear from nowhere and shame you for the way you did it.
That's guaranteed. People who are immune to embarrassment have more options in life, and those options are often the high payoff kind. But hardening yourself against shame and embarrassment also has an immediate benefit in maintaining your mental health. No one feels good when they also feel shame. That's why it makes sense to reframe it out of your life. As I mentioned early, a reliable way to become immune to embarrassment is to intentionally put yourself in the embarrassing situations. For example... Volunteer to give a speech, sing karaoke in front of coworkers, experiment with your fashion and hairstyle, chat up an attractive stranger, that sort of thing. Don't try to avoid embarrassment, invite it.
You'll get some good stories out of it and each mini shame toughens you up for the next one. So take some social risks, flame out in front of witnesses, repeat. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can murder your ego by ignoring its screaming needs. The usual frame is avoid embarrassment. The reframe, invite embarrassment and use it as a club to kill your ego. If someone asked you to deliver a priceless work of art across the street, you might balk at the suggestion. If you were to slip, trip, get robbed or assaulted, that priceless art might get damaged.
