Welcome to the Inside B.S. Show, this is Dave Lorenzo. I'm the godfather of growth and it's a Saturday and we are about to end the first half of the year. Coming up on Monday is the end of the first six months of the year, which means coming up in just two days is the end of the first six months of consecutive days of podcasts.

So what have I learned so far in doing this show? I'm going to share it with you today on a Saturday. So I think the biggest thing that I've learned is personal and it's about me and my habits. I will tell you that if you make anything a habit, you can get it done on a long term basis.

So this show has become part of my daily routine. You've heard me talk about it before. It is just like brushing my teeth.

I do the show every day. So today, for example, it's a Friday and it is a day when we have our Exit Success Lab monthly calls with our master's program members. So we had several calls today, Nicola and I did.

It's a slammed day and I'm sitting down to record this show at 7.30 at night and it's the last thing I have to do for the day, really the last thing I have to do for the week, but I got to get it done because it's a commitment that I made to do the show every day. So you're thinking to yourself, okay Dave, well I listen sometimes and I know some of the shows that you put out here, Dave, are you being interviewed on other shows. Some of the shows are older shows during the pandemic when you were doing interviews all the time and you're right about that.

For two weeks during the past month, on and off, I have added shows that were not reruns, but they were me being interviewed on other shows and it was part of my commitment to keep up posting information to you on a daily basis when I didn't have time to sit down and give a lot of thought to planning out a show. And you might say to yourself, well yeah Dave, but because you committed to doing this every day, what good is it if you're putting up an interview that you did five years ago or what good is it if are putting up an interview of you on somebody else's podcast. And number one, there is an incredible amount of value in those interviews and nobody would have heard them or seen them pretty much ever again if I didn't repost them here.

So I'm happy to share that and I did get feedback from a couple of people that they got value out of a couple of those shows, but it's about fulfilling the commitment and it's also about the relationship that I have with you. I committed to giving you some value here on this podcast every day, but it's about keeping the commitment to myself. I promised myself that I would put something out each day and I would put something out that was valuable each day.

So while I didn't sit down and give thought to planning each of those shows, like if they were new, I did have to sit down and re-listen to the shows and make sure the information was still valuable and still relevant. I did have to upload and edit them so that they fit into the space allowed. I did have to still do the same amount of work and I kept up that commitment.

So it was important for me to get that done. Now my plan for the second six months of the show, so I'm going to share this with you now, is to do more original, more real-time interviews. Harry Sendrowski, who's a client of mine, and I have recorded a couple of shows.

We're going to record two more on Monday. So the goal is for me to do a show with Harry every week because the financial aspect of a family business is really important and that's the value that Harry brings to the table. My goal is also to get Nicola in on the show at least once a week, even if it's just her and I having a conversation once a week.

And then to start in July, my goal is to do at least two additional interviews each week with other people to bring them on for you so that you have me and two other voices. So think about it this way. Tuesdays, let's say, you have Harry.

Wednesdays, you have me and Harry. Tuesdays. Wednesdays, you have Nicola and I. And then maybe Monday and Thursday, you have an additional voice.

And then you'll have me solo Saturday, Sunday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, something like that. That's my goal as we go into July. Maybe we even get an additional interview in in August.

We'll see. And we can do three interviews during the course of the week. My goal is to make this a show that provides new content, original content with some variety every week.

I'm glad that you're with me. Thank you for joining me. This is an incredibly valuable relationship that you and I have.

So I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. Tomorrow, we're going to talk about my habits that have come from this because this show, doing the show every day has taught me that there are other things that can be done every day. And well, it's taught me how to get things done every day.

And so think about it this way. I've talked about this several times on the show. I first read Charles Duhigg's The Power of a Habit and then before that and the work that was spawned from that was James Clear's Atomic Habits.

I read that after I read Duhigg. And then all of that work is underpinned by B.J. Fogg's Tiny Habits, his academic work that became a bestseller, Tiny Habits. This podcast was the the linchpin.

It was the start of Tiny Habits, my practice of Tiny Habits, which has expanded and enabled me to be healthier, happier, and more productive. So I'm going to share how those habits expanded and what I've done with those with you tomorrow. And I hope you get a lot out of it.

But thank you for joining me for the first six months of consecutive shows. We'll see you tomorrow, Sunday, for the next show.
