1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,360 yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes. 3 00:00:07,719 --> 00:00:11,000 So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. 4 00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:14,880 How do we prepare for the unexpected? Haven't we been 5 00:00:14,919 --> 00:00:18,120 asking that question our entire lives? How do we prepare 6 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,160 for the unexpected? Because there are no real rules, we 7 00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:29,280 find more faith in assumption. Oh, we assume way too 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,840 often and way too much. I'm guilty of dumping my 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000 energy into the process of trying to predict an outcome. 10 00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:40,200 My wife and I call it writing the story before 11 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,079 it happens. But it's those moments that we didn't think 12 00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:49,039 of that truly knock us off balance. Wagner forces suddenly 13 00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:52,320 turning on the country of Russia. All we hear about 14 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,719 today is how Putin has reacted. Well, what about the 15 00:00:55,719 --> 00:00:57,520 rest of the world. I haven't seen that story yet. 16 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,759 You know, the real people, detached from the politics and 17 00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:05,480 the propaganda. How did the world react when Wagner mysteriously 18 00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:09,159 backed down and went to Belarus? Where are the real 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,359 stories about the real people? Show me a story about 20 00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:16,640 the citizens of the country, not a leader bragging about how, Oh, 21 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,879 we would have squashed them if they would have taken 22 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:24,799 one more step forward preparing for the unexpected. Nobody saw 23 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,159 it coming. As real people, we've got to remove ourselves 24 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,120 from everything that we assume. Hey, Saro, this is the 25 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,680 daily mass, a chronological walk through an everyday world. I 26 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,560 am a daily writer. I take a simple thought and 27 00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:45,040 I put you in my heart, because what are you 28 00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:48,359 thinking about? What are you going through in your everyday life? 29 00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:50,599 Did you think about this thing in Russia at all 30 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,439 over the weekend and how it could affect you if 31 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,159 something would have happened, how would today's economy be, What 32 00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:03,359 would be the process of finding peace in that country? 33 00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:13,199 This is the daily mess. Sticking to your plans? Oh god, Oh, 34 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,159 I know a lot of people, including myself, we struggle 35 00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:21,400 with that idea, sticking to your plans, no matter what 36 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:27,439 the circumstances. The sellout is usually against ourselves. I work 37 00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:30,919 with managers that know when things suddenly change that it 38 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,000 could mean sixty to eighty hours a week. Their personal 39 00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:38,439 pain filters down to the rest of the team. I 40 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,039 was asked to meet with a major league broadcasting company 41 00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:43,280 this morning. The request came in at eight point thirty 42 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,919 last night. Right in the middle of my lecture. Boo 43 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,840 boop was my phone. I wrote back during the break. 44 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,960 I said, now, no, no, no, let's make it a 45 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,039 different time and let's do it on zoom. See. I 46 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,319 live a Google Calendar lifestyle, and that means every thing 47 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,039 that I am putting into my day today has already 48 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,080 been planned out, and it has been for days, even weeks. 49 00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:11,159 Saying no to those before the request maybe comes across 50 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,759 as disrespect, but I'm not selling out for the potential 51 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,560 of a big break. It doesn't give off that kind 52 00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:20,759 of a payday. We've got to learn to skick to 53 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,840 our plans, be known for our word. A change in 54 00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:27,800 the plans is always going to be available. Do you 55 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,159 want to be known as someone that can't be trusted? Well, 56 00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:34,400 why should we hire him? He's always changing his mind. 57 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:37,080 He's never in the same place twice. You'll get him 58 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,080 for five minutes, you think you've got him for something, 59 00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:41,120 and all of a sudden he'll go, ah, I can't 60 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,479 do it. Something has come up. Ooh ooh, that's one 61 00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:48,639 of my pet peeves. Something has come up. I can't 62 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,120 be there. Really, even though we worked on this for 63 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,199 this amount of time and something has come up. Yeah, 64 00:03:56,479 --> 00:03:59,960 something has come up. We do that to our set 65 00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:06,000 every single day. We sell out ourselves. We don't want 66 00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:08,479 to take that extra step to make sure that our 67 00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:13,120 plans stay the same. What was on my schedule that 68 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,399 made me say no to this major league broadcasting company. 69 00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:21,160 You're gonna think I'm conceded. You're gonna say I'm foolish. 70 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,920 I have a movie date with my wife of thirty 71 00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:27,480 one years. Tomorrow is my birthday, and I had one 72 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,480 day this week to see this particular movie before it 73 00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:35,759 disappeared from theaters. I felt that was more important than 74 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,920 talking to a major broadcasting company. Bean with family. I'm 75 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,639 Marrow and that's the daily mess.
