The 48 Laws Of Power - Concentrate Your Forces- Law 23.  Tom Stewart and John Curren discuss Robert Greene's best selling book The 48 Laws of Power on their podcast A Swift Kick In The Ass episode 37

 

Tom and John discuss how to apply Law 23 of the 48 Laws of Power. Learn how to survive and play others using the techniques found in examples from history. What is milking the fat cow theory made popular by marketing guru Dean Jackson? How this law applies to focus.

John and Tom go back to their roots and focus on only one thing.. the podcast. Different projects were distracting them and they talk about a strategy to remedy that. Getting people to think about a subject in a different way. What happens if the fat cow (corporate job) stops producing milk. Dealing with job loss. Diversify to survive can serve you very well. How focus helped John dig his way out of 90 thousand in debt even when he lost his job. 

The importance of life long learning. How to identify danger and remove the blinders. Robert Greenes Mastery and the 10,000 hour rule. Listener Mario from the Dominican Republic gives some insight about life long learning and reading. Tom and Mario talk about MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. How to buck the system and question conventional thought. The history of Robert Greene's book and how it lost popularity until rapper 50 Cent made it popular again.

Once again we do a show on the new social media platform Blab.im rather than using Google Hangouts.

The 48 Laws Of Power - Use The Surrender Tactic: Transform Weakness Into Power- Law 22.  Tom Stewart and John Curren discuss Robert Greene's best selling book The 48 Laws of Power on their podcast A Swift Kick In The Ass episode 36

Focusing on the decision making process that leads to action. You can not win every battle and this tactic gives you time to recuperate to be able to come back and fight again. This technique was used by the early Americans and also the Monguls which both used guerilla warfare. This tactic can be seen in the popular HBO series The Game Of Thrones. Transforming weakness into power.

Tom talks about humilating experience in High School Band by having to push the bass guitarists amplifier cart while marching.  The biggest strongest trees always get uprooted during a storm, where as a palm tree or willow bend with the storm and survive. Brazilian jiu jitsu uses this technique on the mat to constantly fight to a verbal submission in order to get better and better at the sport. Sticking it to the man. Why Storm Troopers can not hit the broad side of a barn with their blasters.

The 48 Laws Of Power - Play A Sucker To Catch A Sucker - Seem Dumber Than Your Mark - Law 21   A Swift Kick In The Ass Podcast hosted by life long friends John Curren and Tom Stewart discuss Robert Greene’s book the 48 Laws of Power.  A Swift Kick In The Ass Podcast Episode 34.

48 Laws Of Power Special Feature – A Swift Kick In The Ass Podcast hosts Tom Stewart and Topics Covered:    How to apply Law # 21.  Power is central to living life on our own terms.  Living with out power over your own life is miserable and we all want more power to choose the life we want to live.

This laws of power teach us how to play the game and also teach us how not to be played. The history of smoke being blowed up your butt saying based on an old medical treatment. John does not believe Toms story about the origins of the story. Avoiding the big brand barber shop and patronize local business. The story from the book shows how con men in the 1800's suckered some of the most intellectual men of the time by salting mines with diamonds and gems. How to avoid being the sucker and how to use this law to your advantage. 

Defining yourself as an authority. Does starting a podcast make you an instant expert in your field? How the media creates hype when a hurricane or tropical storm approaches South Florida. Actionable items, read the fine print and do the research. What are systems and how do they apply to life and business. Question everything including laws and rules. Know who your dealinig with and do not be an open book in order to protect yourself. Do your own thinking.

It is the fool that always rushes in to take sides, remain neutral. It is a delicate to keep this law from happening. Politicians are adept in the use of this law. How Donald Trump is using this law to his advantage. A fable about losing your ass, the old man, young boy and Jackass. Put your quarrels aside and avoid getting caught up in the hot button isssues and focus on getting our government to address the issues that pertain to all citizens. Queen Mary retains her virginity for the sake of England. Tell your boss to just shove it, a nice goal to aspire to. George Washington denies help from France during the American Revolution to avoid any strings attached and to gain the respect of the world. RIP Wayne Dyer who passed away on the evening before we recorded this podcast.

Life long friends Tom Stewart and John Curren interview cancer survivor Nick Miller.  Nick has just had his fifteen minutes of fame after an encounter with his idol Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.  Nick spotted the Rock driving home after a workout at the gym and follwed him trying to get Dwayne's attention.  The Rock stopped his truck and got out to meet his fans not expecting to find an enthusiastic teen who had just beat cancer for the 2nd time.  The Rock was brought to tears after listening to Nick's story and posted the video of their encounter on instagram.  On Easter, the Rock reposted the picture of them together on Facebook and wrote about how touched he was knowing he was Nick's role model that helped him get through chemo and stem cell transplants.  The post has gone viral and has had over 3.3 million likes and 152 thousand shares.  Every major entertainment outlet has jumped all over the story.  We are the only ones to bring you the rest of Nick's story.  God bless him.  For anyone looking to contact Nick for further interviews contact him at mrmiller2728@gmail.com

John and Tom talk about self sabotage and how the sub conscious can work against you.  Why do we set lofty goals and not achieve them even though we make a concerted effort to do so?  Should we make smaller more attainable goals or try to make big changes all at once?  Why the guys failed at living up to their goals to wake up early to lift some iron.
