“You Needed Me”
Baby steps is the theme for this week’s post. Based again on the book I’ve been reading, Atomic Habits by James Clear. One of the chapters I’ve ready over the last week is discusses the idea of The Two-Minute Rule. See below, the 2 min. rule is the idea of simplifying a task into an action that can be completed in 2 mins. Rather than saying I will cook my own dinner, encourage yourself to find a recipe at first. This allows one to fall in love with the process and appreciate for the steps.

I remember doing this when I was starting to go to the gym in the morning. I immediately changed into my gym clothes every morning which told my mind and the universe that at some point, I will be going to the gym soon. The repition of baby steps starts to create a snowball effect inevitably walking you closer to your goals.
E-Sports Betting is an area I will be watching in the future. I had a thought this week specifically for sport games, there could be more liquid markets in e-sports betting vs. IRL sports betting. Today, Real Sports betting is more popular considering the ease of understanding for a wider audience. I don’t think this will change anytime soon but there are two reasons I feel that could make E-Sports betting more attracive over time.
Real life sport players get tired. With E-Sports, players can run back to back football games for hrs. without concern for fatigue or injury.
There is no concept of a season for E-Sports. Real sports have down seasons in which the teams are preparing for the next season. With video games, you can have tournaments all year round.
Both of these reasons play into the idea of creating a more active market for sports betting. Constant uptime and flow of money creates more liquid opportunities. There are still some kinks to iron out as E-Sports is still in its infancy compared to the generations of real sports but as gaming continues to grow, I do feel the popularity of E-Sports Betting will as well.
This week’s art aesthetic comes myself. I started this piece almost a year ago and finally finished it last week. This is the 4th piece I’ve done in this style of only painting the background and not the subject. Let me know what you think.

Mouse in the House!! Ladies and Gentlemen, that’s right! We got the legend, Mouse here to share how he got started in podcasting and some tips for keep things organic.
47 Balance: What was it like getting started as a podcaster ?
Mouse: I started in the early years when the process wasn’t really defined. I had to get creative. On a weekly basis, preparing to make a podcast typically involved the following steps, including:
Choosing a topic: Determine what you want your podcast to be about and what specific themes or subtopics you want to cover.
Researching: Gather information and research about your chosen topic to ensure you have a thorough understanding of it and can provide valuable insights to your listeners.
Planning: Create an outline or script for your podcast. This can include the introduction, main points, and conclusion.
Recording: Set up your recording equipment and test it to ensure that you have good sound quality.
Editing: After recording, you will have to edit the audio to remove any background noise, mistakes, or pauses.
Publishing: Once you have your final product, you will have to publish it on a hosting platform of your choice, such as Soundcloud, Spotify, or iTunes.
Promoting: After publishing, you will have to promote it to get more listeners and reach more people.
Keeping in touch: Keep your listeners engaged by replying to their comments, responding to their emails, and creating a community.
It's important to note that the preparation process can vary depending on the length, format and style of your podcast. Some podcasts take longer to prepare and some take less time. Also, some podcasters have a team that helps them with the production process and some record and produce everything on their own.
47 Balance: What are some tips for making it organic ?
Mouse: Here are some tips for making your podcast sound organic:
Speak naturally: Try to speak in a conversational tone, just like you would in a normal conversation with a friend. This will make it easier for your listeners to engage with the content.
Be spontaneous: Don't be afraid to improvise and go off script if something interesting comes up during the recording. This can add a sense of spontaneity and keep the conversation flowing.
Use natural transitions: Instead of abrupt transitions between segments, use natural phrases such as "moving on" or "let's talk about" to smoothly transition between topics.
Add ambient noise: If you're recording in a quiet environment, adding some background noise can make the recording sound more natural.
Use humor: Injecting some humor or sarcasm can make your podcast sound more organic, and keep your listeners engaged.
Don't be afraid of pauses: Pauses can be used effectively to give your listeners time to process the information and make the conversation sound more natural.
Be yourself: Don't try to be someone else, be yourself, speak your own way, and let your personality shine through in your podcast.
Avoid reading the script: If you're reading a script, it can sound robotic and rehearsed, try to avoid reading and speak from your own experience.
Remember that the key to making your podcast sound organic is to make it sound like a real conversation, not a rehearsed performance.

This week, I randomly came across a Drum and Bass playlist comprised of songs from ol’school Playstation classics. This track stood out the most to me. Check it out below along with the playlist.
Enjoy!
Until next time, keep on seeking balance!
