Speaker 1 (00:00):
My name is Ero, and this is missed opportunity. I
love sharing conversations. Hosting requires show prep. My podcasting platforms
feature thousands of guests. But what you don't have access
to are those missed opportunities. The show prep was completed,
the conversations didn't happen. I keep all of my notes,
and the reason why is because I believe paths will
(00:21):
cross again. Let me explain missed opportunity. It's my questions
and statements without their answers. I'm leaving open enough space
at the end of each question hoping they'll download the
talk and insert their answers. Missed opportunity is a lost
piece of history, like a message in a bottle tossed
out to see. My biggest hope is to locate a destination. Okay,
(00:43):
this week we're putting focus on my missed opportunity with
author Beth Romero, a motivational author. Her book is called
Happy af and I think you can put that together,
Happy as h I was invited to the conversation on
August fifteenth, twenty twenty three, was asked if I was
starting to book Fall in Wintertime Conversations. My reply was, yeah,
(01:04):
this is my kind of conversation, let's create. They returned
with interest and asked about a day of availability. They
chose October. A date was set for the week of
October ninth. In fact, we were going to do it
on the twelfth at nine am. Well, here's where I
made my mistake. I put it on the calendar my
best friend Google. I put it in November and not October.
(01:25):
So I had to cancel on September nineteenth, twenty twenty three,
because I'm going, oh my god, that day is already booked.
I can't do it. But I asked for a new date.
They wanted to move it to October twentieth, twenty twenty three.
Here's the thing. My reply didn't reach them. It's still
locked in on draft mode on Google. I lost the conversation.
(01:47):
Doe one hundred percent to me trusting that I hit sinned,
but I didn't. So on January thirteenth, twenty twenty five,
almost two years later, I have written to a PR
company admitting that I made a mistake and I did
request to have a conversation. Even though it's been almost
two years to this very moment, I still have every
single question right here on this sheet. Of vapor because
(02:10):
I believe in showprep and we're going to start those
questions coming up next. Welcome back to Missed Opportunity. Our
focus this week is on my Missed Opportunity with motivational
author Beth Romero her book Happy af The questions I
wanted to ask were basically about the realisms of where
we are in this place of mental health, which has
talked about so much these days. In fact, I had
(02:32):
a psychologist yesterday in a conversation tell me that we
talk about it so much that we're all becoming numb
to it, and you have to sit there and you
have to wonder, Okay, how do you break it down
to where you don't talk about it as much because
there's so much information out there. So that's what I
really wanted to put into this conversation. So I wanted
to start my conversation with Beth with seasonal depression is
(02:53):
all we think about between August and February of each year,
and the reason why is because the sun is playing
hell on our mind, bought and soul. So the thing
is is that I wanted to know are they filled
with routine and does it require a true activation? And
how does she approach such a thing. People feel stuck
while in the sun, and when the sun goes down
(03:14):
too early, when you're in that moment of being stuck,
how do you free yourself up without disrupting other people's paths.
Happiness is a choice mindset. But to make that mindset possible,
we have to go back to the word right before it,
which is choice. I believe in winning is a choice,
but to make that choice for your mindset is going
(03:35):
to require some sacrifice or better yet, a better understanding.
How does she deal with that? The art of letting go?
That's probably one of the most difficult things any of
us are doing. In fact, my wife and I were
doing the Swedish death cleaning a few years back, and
that art of letting go was fun while it lasted
until everything got sentimental. I believe that your mental health
is the same way. Sentimental gets in the way of
(03:58):
you letting go. How do we grow before we drop
things off? Your negative thoughts transform your life. Now, being
a daily writer for thirty one years, that's very important
to put a lot of focus on. But a lot
of people, the average person does not understand that how
you think transforms your life. And as of late, I've
been putting a lot of attention on this thing called
(04:20):
grumpy old man syndrome. I want to know how people
get that way? How do you deal with it? Strengthening
our happiness muscles? Is it really a muscle? Because my
sabdym in martial arts always used to tell me there's
no such thing as muscle memory. So to say that
there is a happiness muscle, what does that really mean?
(04:40):
There's a link between sleep and morning routines. Yeah, it
you keep waking up all night, are you really getting sleep?
And does that interrupt the routine that you're going to
have to have put into play before you head to
work or do whatever you need to do in your
daily expectations? Asking the question who is your biggest inspiration?
And why? Question? What if that's the one thing? What
(05:03):
if they weren't your inspiration? How do you find yourself
formulating your plan and execution if that one inspiration really
wasn't part of the plan. Everybody points to gratitude every
motivational book. You've got to be grateful, You've got to
be mindful. Why is that the go to when most
people don't understand what gratefulness is all right. There you
(05:28):
have it, all the questions that I had for motivational
author Beth Romero, whose book Happy af was supposed to
be talked about in October of twenty twenty three, but
because my Google I didn't hit sind it's still sitting
there in draft mode. Missed opportunity. It's a lost piece
of history. You know the questions. Now it's time to
