1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I’ve long been a fan of the raunchily brilliant American comedian, Doug Stanhope. He was interviewed on the Joe Rogan Podcast last week, and I really enjoyed listening to him. During the interview, he spoke about his audience of choice:
“I paid my dues – I made my bones to have a small niche fan base that are unoffendable.”
2. An interview I’m pumped about
A couple of weeks ago I was interviewed by Dave Asprey of Bulletproof Coffee fame. The episode just landed and I’m really excited. Why?
Because his podcast gets over 250,000 downloads per episode so a whole new audience of people are going to be introduced to the principles behind clarity this week (I’ve already started getting LinkedIn messages from new friends who have been blown away by the interview)!
Dave and I talked about everything from dating to how you can clear ‘brain fog’… from adult ‘teddy bears’ to getting into flow states without drugs. He’s also made a transcript of the interview available if you’d prefer to read it. You can listen to the full Bulletproof Radio interview and get the transcript here

3. This week’s glimpse of the future
A team of scientists has applied ‘Brainbow’ — a popular tool for painting individual brain cells of lab animals in distinct colors — to the human brain.

4. An extraordinary documentary series
I’m watching the amazing documentary series ‘The Vietnam War’ by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. It’s an amazing accomplishment, and well worth watching. Here’s a trailer:

5. This week’s 3 minute miracle
I’m a huge fan of horn sections and swing beats. Shed Seven’s instant classic, “Going for Gold” has both: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VED67gUNXM
That’s it for this week!
Big love

– You are currently in full-time employment, but…
– You want to transition from your job to something more fulfilling and “on-purpose”
– You sense that it’ll probably take 1-3 years to complete the transition, but…
– Your goal hasn’t been getting much closer; it seems to stay the same distance away
– You want to make progress, but lack clarity about either the ‘what’ or the ‘how’
– You know that if you were clear on those, with a solid plan, you’d do what it takes to make it happen
– You’ve been thinking about it for long enough, and you’re ready to do something about it NOW
If that’s you, email Nikki at info@jamiesmart.com and type “Project Jupiter” in the subject line.
