7. Formulas for Life | Paul David Santana
<p></p><p>I met Paul in the spring of 2023. He was on a journey to transform his life, and I found his unique outlook on life to be refreshing and insightful. Paul is a software engineer who found himself with crippling loneliness during COVID after a 10-year relationship breakup and a job layoff. With his partner gone, no colleagues, and no social interaction, he found himself at a crossroads in life. He decided at that moment to quit watching television and take back control of his life. He sourced a job, quit video games, and quit watching television. He discovered Meetup.com, and built a social life with multiple groups that collectively have hundreds of members now.</p><p>Paul and I started dating after some mutual friends of ours (shoutout to sneaky snakes Tim and Jen 😉🐍) set us up on a few double dates. He knows that I have a strong desire to learn the skill of interviewing, which is one of my goals for HYPRfocus. With his encouragement and support, we decided to do my first interview together.</p><p>I hope you enjoy the interview, and please like and comment if this resonated with you. I appreciate and look forward to hearing your feedback!</p><p></p><p>The Interview | Formulas for Life</p><p>As a software engineer and a Sparketype™ Essentialist, Paul is highly skilled at organizing and distilling information and data. But it doesn’t just stop there — he also organizes data and observes patterns in everyday life. By vetting hundreds of members for his Meetup.com groups, he has witnessed multiple patterns of human behavior and created formulas for life.</p><p>In this interview, we talk about the formulas for:</p><p>* becoming unperturbed in the face of judgment</p><p>* running a successful social group and vetting members</p><p>* lifestyle design for finding love</p><p>* focusing your energy and eliminating distraction</p><p></p><p>The Next 12 Months | House Hacking & Microsoft Power Platform</p><p>Paul is currently learning Microsoft Power Platform for his day job and just bought a house in May 2024. 🎉 His plan is to start house hacking (renting out some of the rooms of his house) and eventually implementing the strategy of coliving (individually renting out all the rooms of a house). You can see more of his story on his YouTube channel @TheMangineer or his website PaulDavidSantana.com.</p><p><strong>YouTube:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="https://youtube.com/@TheMangineer">https://youtube.com/@TheMangineer</a></p><p><strong>Website:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="https://pauldavidsantana.com/">https://pauldavidsantana.com/</a></p><p></p><p>Resources</p><p>* Sparketype: <a target="_blank" href="https://sparketype.com/">https://sparketype.com/</a></p><p>* <em>The Art of Gathering</em> by Priya Parker: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.priyaparker.com/book-art-of-gathering">https://www.priyaparker.com/book-art-of-gathering</a></p><p>* Hamza Ahmed’s YouTube: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@Hamza97">https://www.youtube.com/@Hamza97</a></p><p>* Build a Wealthy Spirit Podcast with Sammie and Michelle: </p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

6. You Are the Juiciest Peach 🍑
<p>Multiple people have asked me the same question over the past few months: <em>Which book has made the biggest impact on you and why? 📚</em></p><p>Each time, I can’t help but go back to the same book. <em>Not Nice</em><strong> by Dr. Aziz Gazipura.</strong></p><p>I haven’t even finished the book yet (it’s a mega-chonker at almost 500 pages), but DAMN it is good. Once you make it through, you will undoubtedly have many practical tips and clarity on why you should unapologetically be yourself, assertively ask for what you want, and stop seeking approval in others. <strong>This book completely changed my life.</strong></p><p></p><p>You’re Not for Everyone</p><p>In the book, Dr. Aziz talks about approval seeking as a “Bag of Ones”:</p><p>Your Bag of Ones was explained to me by a bright and perceptive coach I met at a conference. She explained it this way: If you were to go into a room of 100 people and say “hi” to everybody, 99 would say “hi” back and one would coldly stare you down and say, “Oh…it’s you. What are <em>you</em> doing here?”</p><p>Whenever we go to a new environment — a networking event, a conference, a party, a new job, or anywhere else where we’re putting ourselves out there — we imagine that one person […] that gives us that cold, negative response, and add them to our Bag of Ones.</p><p>Then we carry this bag over our shoulders, always anticipating a negative reception to everything we do. We have all the evidence we could ever need because we’re carrying around that sucker around on our backs.</p><p>What would happen if we focus our energy on the 99 people who give us positive responses instead of the one person that we can’t satisfy?</p><p>Dr. Aziz says, “<strong>The truth is, we don’t have control of whether people like us or not. The only things we have control over is how fully we show up.</strong>”</p><p>What a relief — you don’t have to please everyone around you! 😅 You just have to show up as your boldly authentic self and say, “<strong>I’m not for everyone.</strong>”</p><p></p><p>Knowing Your Boundaries</p><p>Are you scared to show up in the world as your unapologetic self? Are you trying to make everyone like you? Are you carrying around a Bag of Ones? </p><p>If so, start setting boundaries between yourself and the people around you. Ask yourself these questions to strengthen your sense of self:</p><p>* <strong>What do I love?</strong> <em>(like, appreciate, enjoy)</em></p><p>* <strong>What do I hate?</strong> <em>(dislike, find annoying, bothersome, irritating)</em></p><p>* <strong>What do I believe?</strong> <em>(“I believe _________”)</em></p><p>* <strong>What is great about me?</strong> <em>(strengths, positive qualities, endearing traits)</em></p><p>* <strong>What is my purpose?</strong> <em>(your goals, reason for life)</em></p><p>Once you do this exercise and obtain a stronger relationship with yourself, you will take back your power to be more assertive and confident. <em>P.S. Confidence is sexy! </em>😉</p><p></p><p>Would you rather have:</p><p>* 99/100 people like you when you show up as <em>the </em><em>fake</em><em> you</em>; OR</p><p>* 20/100 people like you when you show up as <em>the </em><em>real</em><em> you</em>?</p><p></p><p><em>“You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be someone who hates peaches.”</em></p><p>- Dita Von Teese</p><p></p><p>Resources:</p><p>* <em>Not Nice</em> by Dr. Aziz Gazipura: <a target="_blank" href="https://notnicebook.com/">https://notnicebook.com/</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

5. What's Your Problem? 🚨
<p>If you’ve ever moved before, you know that packing things can be a pain. You have to carefully wrap items that you cherish greatly, and leave behind items that aren’t serving you or your space anymore. However, the one thing that you can’t leave behind is yourself. <strong>Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.</strong></p><p>You’re thinking, “No duh, Harris. Of course you take yourself with you. What’s the point?” The point is that you — YES YOU — probably have many deep, unresolved issues simmering in your soul. Are you carrying around any negative emotional vibrations? If so, <em>THAT’S</em> your problem. 🫵 </p><p>No matter where you go, you can’t run away from that internal problem. <em>So, let’s solve it before you carry that problem with you to the grave.</em> 💀🪦</p><p></p><p>My Problem 🙋♀️</p><p>Feeling like a disappointment has been an issue I’ve dealt with my entire life. <strong>I’ve always felt like I wasn’t good enough and that I wasn’t lovable or acceptable the way I was.</strong> The problem grew into a monster of self-judgment and people pleasing as I got older. In order to feel worthy, I did what was asked of me. When my actions were questioned, I went into: DEFENSE MODE. 😡 HULK MODE. 🦖 SULK MODE. 😭 PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE MODE. 🤦♀️ Basically, all the modes that make me a not-so-likable person.</p><p><strong>I noticed I would get triggered easily when someone would hold me accountable (or ask me a question about an action I took or am planning to take).</strong></p><p>* My 🧠 when this happens: </p><p><em>“AAHHHH — I’M UNDER ATTACK!!!!! Prepare for defense!”</em></p><p>* My ❤️ when this happens:</p><p>“<em>I’m sorry — I feel like I’m not meeting your expectations. That hurts me, because it makes me feel unworthy. When I feel hurt, I want to put up walls around my heart to protect myself.”</em></p><p></p><p>These emotional and physical reactions all come from deep-rooted childhood experiences. While my feelings are valid, the automatic behaviors I’ve established in response are not. So how do we fix this?</p><p></p><p>Fixing our Problems</p><p>* <strong>Find the “why” and reframe the story 🖼️</strong></p><p>When you feel yourself getting upset or thrown off kilter, explore the why behind that. What's the first memory you have of feeling that way? What happened? Is it possible to reframe that situation from a different point of view that you haven't previously considered? Address your beliefs on the situation and ask yourself if those beliefs are serving you.</p><p></p><p>* <strong>Practice responding differently in the future 💪</strong></p><p>Once you determine the why and reframe the story, you can practice changing your behavior with repetition. Think of it like a muscle — you can’t change your physique in one day, but you can change it with the compound effect of daily work. </p><p></p><p>If you continue to hold beliefs that don't serve you and choose not to respond differently, those negative manifestations will continue to come up in your life to test you. I’m a firm believer in the universe will test you in your negative manifestations and conspire in your favor for positive manifestations.</p><p></p><p><em>So, what’s your problem? Do you have any negative beliefs about yourself or your life that are no longer serving you? </em>🦔🌈</p><p></p><p></p><p>Resources: </p><p>* <em>The Graveyard Book</em> by Neil Gaiman: <a target="_blank" href="https://a.co/d/ejEDxE2">https://a.co/d/ejEDxE2</a></p><p>* Build a Wealthy Spirit Podcast with Sammie & Michelle: </p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
