Y.I.E.L.D. Today With Dallin Candland

1. Not enough check-ins with myself2. Didn't prioritize more time getting to know roommates3. Schedule was a bit too flexibleNote: There were a few errors I made in this recording, and I will mention them when I get the chance. 

It is likely that you are starting up a new semester or you have already started one.1. Happy place2. Happy people3. Happy activityTime Stamps:1:04 – Happy place2:15 – Happy people3:55 – Happy activityIf you are interested, I recently rebooted my Twitch Stream and will be playing classic/indie games and juggling and talking and such. I will be going live at 5 PM MST Tues/Sat. It'd be fun to have you stop by, but no worries, I am just doing this as I think it will help me be more focused on school.My Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/tanookitoaddc My Business Email: dallin@yieldtoday.com

As we do every semester, I am changing up a lot of things to help me get more done and overall have a better time. Last semester was BOMB, but I have come up three GIANT changes that should really do some amazing stuff for us by the end of the semester:1. No social media (except LinkedIn) - I have been posting very consistently on social media for YEARS. I am very thankful for the support I have gotten from it, but the time has come to change my strat a bit so I can have a different outcome.2. Blog posts each week - this is the main thing that I will be doing instead of posting on social media. I have been making secret blog posts off and on for a while, just have never made the site public. I will let you all know once it's up... a week from today! :) Posts will come out on Mondays, starting the 13th!3. All solo podcasts recorded and uploaded already - This is going to be a GAME CHANGER. I was not able to get enough interviews done to get the whole podcast schedule for Fall 2021 already done and uploade

This one took FOREVER to edit. I think it came out very well though. As always, my brother James and I talked about how the last month went and also dove into the wins gained, lessons learned, and our plans for the next month. Hope you enjoy!Note: James was not using a professional mic (as I was) so his audio is not that great for most of this. We did what we could though. Check out more from James:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bitbybitjames/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMWJVV1_dCGsDxZZLKPgjfgPodcast: Rupees Over Ramen - https://open.spotify.com/show/3S14EAMOWiFYn8jfqsj31H?si=PhnQYYaCQjii5VlUrfb12g&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1I will add to this description more when I have the time. For now I just want you guys to enjoy the episode! :)

I had this interesting feeling to record an episode that was like a time capsule, for the  August 30, 2022 version of me to look back on and enjoy. I invite you to do a similar thing to appreciate this current moment we are all in right now. The time will fly by either way. Prompts I Gave For Myself to AnswerA time you were thankful for someones' goodness - My roommate Hiram got me a free Pizza from Domino's and it was BBQ chicken with tomatoes and BBQ sauce as the sauce Something you enjoy doing - I like juggling for a few minutes before work, and also shooting some hoops in the tiny court near my apartment. A person you recently met that you are thankful for - Jason.   A recent memory that makes you smile - Throwing frisbee with Tim in the park   A book I am reading - "QB My life Behind The Spiral" by Steve Young Something I am working on - mMyself. Something I am looking forward to - Being able to inspire more people as I have figured out a lot of things A recent adventure I am glad I w

It seems that people liked hearing my thoughts on developing super vision, fire, empathy, copying yourself, and x-ray vision in part 1 so here's part 2!In this episode, we talked about telepathy, super memory, teleportation, transforming, electricity, and freezing things and how those can all be developed in your life as well.

Curt Teuffert is the VP of Sales for DXP, a public speaker, and an adjunct professor at the University of Houston! We talked a bit about his journey and how he got into public speaking, scuba diving, and had some other great opportunities in his life so far. Lots to dive into here!

Today we are talking about building your own sell yourself to yourself commercial! Listening to or reading this every day can be extremely powerful with solidfying your identity of how you would like to see yourself, improve your focus, etc. They have truly been SO helpful for me.Here's the three things to keep in mind when you're writing yours:1. Purpose: – Ask yourself: Who am I and what do I want to focus on during this time I listen to this commercial – This will help you change how you see yourself. Right now I have been reminding myself in mine that I am a strong, kind person and that I am NOT a puppet. This is a good reminder for me that I need to go after my dreams and not expect things to just fall into place without some effort on my part.2. Wording: Remember - This is written specifically for you and that is SO powerful. What do you want to keep in mind? This can be a powerful training mechanism. I would recommend including warnings, ideas, and reminders that you think would be helpful fo

I don’t play as many video games as I used to, but there is no doubt they have taught me a TON about life. I wanted to highlight a few lessons that I think could help you guys.Main Points:1.      No Game Overs - You can use everything you lose from each loss to fuel your next win!2.      Kindness Pays - When you give what you have others will help you as well3.      You Live and Learn - The longer you play the game the more you can learn4.      Celebrate the Little Wins - They help you know you are on the right track/space out your journey5.      Skills Proven Through Boss Battles - You can fail over and over at these and yet keep learning until eventually you win come out on top (or someone will help you) Related Episodes:#64: "Strategy, Pure Deduction, and Teamwork - Life Lessons Learned From Playing Games"https://www.buzzsprout.com/543310/episodes/6854425 Time Stamps:0:45 – No Game Overs2:23 – Kindness Pays3:19 – You Live and We Learn5:16 – Celebrating Little Wins7:20 – Skills Proven Through Boss

Writing is something that we are all taught to do from a young age but we are not necessarily taught (at least not very thoroughly) the why and the usefulness of it. Growing up it was drilled into me that the only reasons to write were to inform, entertain, or persuade people.In this episode, I dug into 3 other reasons to write: documenting your journey, providing clarity, and giving inspiration for tough times. Reflective and other writing has helped me immensely on my entrepreneurship journey so far, and I am sure it will help you too! Time Stamps: 0:30 – Reason 1 - Documenting Your Journey1:52 – Reason 2 - Clarity3:15 – Reason 3 - InspirationNote:Last week I came down with a fever and my voice still hasn't recovered. That is why I am uploading this episode today and not a few weeks from now. I know I said that I would be uploading Part 2 of Building a Sell Yourself to Yourself Commercial today but with my voice froggy, I don't want to do that for another week or so. Thanks for understanding! Read

Growing up I struggled with feeling like I had any talents that could be used to benefit the world. Now I have learned that I have plenty to share and to give. I have also learned about some super powers that truly can change the world (even if they are not super strength, flying, etc.)Today we dove into how we can develop super vision, copying yourself, x-ray vision, empathy, and power over fire. I really enjoyed making this episode! If you enjoyed it let me know and I will definitely make a Part 2! Resources:Danny Miranda Podcast - https://dannymiranda.com/podcast/Old video from when I was 16 (or pretty much 16)– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSBYRDZJb4QCharlie Bone and The Time Twister – Gabriel - https://charliebone.fandom.com/wiki/Gabriel_SilkCampfire Analogy (YT #58) - https://www.buzzsprout.com/543310/episodes/6526174 Time Stamps:1:00 – Super Vision – See Beyond the moment2:20 – Copying Yourself – Through creating content, books, etc.4:00 – X-Ray Vision – Discernment and breaking things down7:00 – Em

Ever since reading about sell yourself to yourself commercials in The Magic of Thinking BIG the idea has hooked me! I have since written around 7 commercials for myself to read in the morning that help me sell myself on myself and stay focused on what I want to focus on. I hope that this gives you some ideas to improving your own self-care and relationship with yourself. Next week I will be releasing Part 2 of this which will talk all about building your own commercial! You won't want to miss it. Also, my deep apologies this is coming out SO late. I got super sick late Wednesday night and just decided to be way lazy after that (even after I was feeling a lot better). I promise that I am trying to learn after each of these failures so I can be better in the future. Interviews are coming back to the podcast soon it is just taking some time to make them happen. :)Resources: The Magic of Thinking BIG Book - https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Thinking-Big-David-Schwartz/dp/0671646788https://www.actionablebooks.com/

Yesterday I honestly felt a bit like quitting. It was just all becoming overwhelming and I was struggling to lift my load. I ended up getting a real breakthrough from this breakdown about the power of accountability to yourself and others. I had an interview planned for Monday but it fell through. :/ I am going to keep on trying though don't worry. :)As always if the podcast is helpful for you let me know @yieldtodaywithdallin podcast on Instagram.In this episode:1.

You guys seemed to like it, so we are doing it again!We broke our conversation down into wins, lessons learned, and plans for next month.If you do not like this we don't need to do it again. Feel free to let us now what you think through Instagram @YieldTodayWithDallinPodcastFollow-Up:Dallin - I was able to finish the semester strong, but unfortunately I did not put much work into the podcast calendar. My systems for life have proved, but nothing super specific.James - He was able to get his animation/world building/other nerdy stuff podcast started up (although it has not quite launched yet). Other than that he was focused on finishing up the semester strong like I was.Dallin's July Wins:I was able to get out of my apartment earlier than I was planning on, which effectively made it so my semester ended earlier and with less stress. It took a lot of work, but

I have been interested in the gaming industry and lessons we can pull from it. These people are able to stick to their vision and work patiently and studying their lives was helpful for me.I hope that this episode is helpful for you in some way. In other podcast news I was able to get another program to help with video interviews! I am excited to start using it very soon and tell you guys more about it! :)Build Something TangibleBuild Something EnjoyableBuild Something Mechanics-Friendly (does what you want it to do)Resources:https://www.buzzsprout.com/747596/8144223-the-game-maker-series-mario-nesrocks-from-bit-ink-studios-super-hiking-league?fbclid=IwAR19mrzW00ZTgatJlJLkYsuuXtsMcoHufLrwArcy1RnaUf39FSCXQzheP58https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/how-long-did-it-take-to-make-make-stardew-valley.html/?fbclid=IwAR0nmZEO9_-GTycwk3b8KYhDkZEG00S57J9w5k8fn-uCJwY36UgFUCUaYDI Time Stamps:https://dotesports.com/general/news/interview-with-lead-developer-of-rivals-of-aether-dan-fornace-6933?fbclid=IwAR3hKNRtEbTAFK6

I am back from my break! I am happy to report that it was wildly successful. Thank you all for your patience with me. The best is yet to come. :)I think that it was more helpful in the overall mindset department but I did get some solid work done too. Today we broke down each of the criteria I set for the break and talked about how I did on each one... and then we talked about 3 GIANT lessons I got from the whole experiment. As always I hope you enjoy and that it helps in some way. :DI'll see you again on Thursday when I break down the biggest lessons that I learned from this semester of going ALL IN on self-care, working at Pizza Hut, and still doing school and the podcast. It will be a good one for sure.3 GIANT Lessons Learned: 1. The Power of Getting New Perspective2. The Power of Hitting Pause3.

We have put out nearly two episodes every single week since November 2020! That is over 50 episodes! I never thought we would have been able to do that, and so I am so glad we went for it. :)With that said, I have been feeling recently that I should take a break. I know this may come as a surprise, but I think it really will be for the best. Here are three reasons why: 1. Improve Episode Quality – I want to continuously improve the quality of the episodes, interviews, etc. During this time I plan on organizing my episodes better, creating a template, and figuring out other workflows to save time and also up the quality! 2. Take Care of The Field– There are some behind the scenes things with the podcast that I have been neglecting for some time. During this break I am going to take a good look at what has been accomplished so far, work on some of the SEO and episode show notes (honestly some of them really need some work) and organize the podcast episodes better. I also need to get some new interview guests li
