Ep. 73 – ‘Pattern Interrupts’ – Heavy Breathing Just Before Midnight with Sandi Maki
As soon as a task seems daunting, or something that we are just trying to check off our list, I think it’s important to take a step back. Give ourselves permission to put it down, or seek a new and different direction. Sometimes a pattern interrupt is just what we need for a fresh perspective and a refreshed energy towards that thing that just became routine.

Stop Stealing Dreams and the Condition of the Educational System in America
I am going to start a series of Heavy Breathing Podcasts based o Seth Godin’s Manifesto: Stop Stealing Dreams. I encourage you to read what he has written – I agree with the thoughts, philosophies, and information he shares. I’ll be exploring his points from the perspective of a parent of teenagers, and given that I know the system is broken, I still don’t know what alternative to offer my children that will fit in enough of a social box for them to understand and be empowered. I will also be exploring it from the perspective of a successful small business owner, who employs people and who would avoid traditional employment myself in the future where ever entrepreneurship is possible.
If I see you in person I will be asking you to read this book. If I chat with you on Facebook, you’ll see a ton of it in my news stream. I think it is a critically important topic to explore – and time is of the essence. Read it!
“The economy has changed, probably forever.
School hasn’t.
School was invented to create a constant stream of compliant factory workers to the growing businesses of the 1900s. It continues to do an excellent job at achieving this goal, but it’s not a goal we need to achieve any longer.
In this 30,000 word manifesto, I imagine a different set of goals and start (I hope) a discussion about how we can reach them. One thing is certain: if we keep doing what we’ve been doing, we’re going to keep getting what we’ve been getting.
Our kids are too important to sacrifice to the status quo.” Read more on the original post by Seth Godin
You can get your copy for free
Here are four versions of the manifesto. Pick the one that you need, and feel free to share. To download a file, you’ll probably need the option key or the right click button on your mouse… ask a teenager if you get stuck. (Just added an audio reading by Dave Wakefield all the way at the bottom of this page).
- The On Screen version
- Use this one to read it on a computer or similar device. Feel free to email to the teachers, parents and administrators in your life.
- The Printable edition
- This is the same document, but formatted for your laser printer or the local copy shop. You are welcome to make copies, but please don’t charge for it or edit it. (And I fixed two typos and added the missing link to Doc’s book).
- Here’s the Kindle edition
- You’ll need to download it and then plug in your Kindle via a USB cable. Drag the file to the Documents folder on your Kindle and boom, you’re done. I’m told that you can also open it with the Kindle reader on your Mac, PC or iPad.
- The ePub edition
- This should work with other types of ebook readers, but I haven’t tested it. Your mileage may vary, and if it doesn’t work, the PDF should. Readers have told me that this opens on their iPad as well.
- The manifesto in HTML on the web
- Useful for cutting and pasting, I guess. The PDFs are easier to read. Now improved with easy to link to chapters…
- How I built the manifesto, plus back up links
- If any of the links above don’t work, you’ll find back up PDF downloads here, as well as a long-ish essay about how I built them.
- Jeff’s modified epub file
- Jeff generously tweaked this version so it reads better on your screen. No warranties or refunds, but give it a try.
- Improved Nook edition
- Devon built this for us.
- 42 quotations from the manifesto
- Ivana takes her pick of 42 tweetable quotes.
Ep. 71- ‘authentic acceptance’ Part 3 of the MM Experience – Heavy Breathing Just Before Midnight with Sandi Maki
Part of the Mastermind Experience, which I’ll just call InSights – which means the philosophy about a state of being, is showing up and getting to ‘be’.
I have found no other place that you can naturally show your character , be fully understood and encouraged to use all of your talents in every moment you have. The amazing thing about this is amongst that encouragement you discover your strengths and rid yourself of the weaknesses you think you have, to unfold your true organic self. Which in return elevates yourself to live completely in a state of “being” and not only live by “doing”.
We gather collectively to capture our natural organic selves, even for a short while, in a space we call our clubhouse. It is not contained in a specific spot, and the location has changed. Yet it passionately can be found deeply-rooted inside each of us. Once this is realized , our comfort is that we are honored to have it with us in every moment we have. – Jodi Cook

As many of us find out, important things in life find their way to you.
Ep. 70 – I Do Matter – Part 2 of the MM Experience – Heavy Breathing Just Before Midnight with Sandi Maki
Sometimes people come into our lives that help us change ourselves and our perspective more than we can sometimes put into words. Part of the magic of InSights and of Masterminding is that when any two or more people come together, each and every one of them is changing and being blessed by the experience. Thank you Susan, for sharing so much with us. We are inspired and appreciative of you.
Ep. 69 – ‘I Love Myself Part 1 of the MM Experience’ – Heavy Breathing Just Before Midnight with Sandi Maki
We are in the process of releasing a series of stories – as told by InSights members about their experiences with Masterminding and the InSights philosophy. Al and I are also responsible for adding some thoughts, so in Sandi style, I’ve recorded the first entry here (written by Carol Palmatier), and some of my thoughts.
There is also a bonus track here today, the first chapter of Finding the Pearl, as a practice run for the recording of the audio book. If you are excited to hear more of Thuan Tammy Fadler’s story, just click here to order your copy of the book. It’s amazing.
Ep. 69 – Bonus – Finding the Pearl – Chapter 1
