Friday Link Love – #WDS Edition

links

Welcome to a special edition of Friday Link Love – the World Domination Summit edition! What is “link love”? It’s when you share some of your favorite reading, favorite blogs, or inspirational posts.

The WDS was an amazing gathering of 500+ people who were really up to something in their lives. Entrepreneurs, writers, artists, bloggers, cooks, travellers, photographers…and much, much more. The attendees were an inspiring group to spend my weekend with and the presenters…well, just wow!

So, in this week’s Friday Link Love, I’m sharing links to my favorite speakers from the WDS.

Leo Babauta – ZenHabits.net

If there are celebrities in the blogging world, Leo is one of them. He is also full of tons of great advice on creating habits, increasing productivity, increasing happiness, and making big changes through small steps.

Jodi Ettenberg – LegalNomads.com

Jodi is a pint-sized bundle of joy and enthusiasm. Have you ever met anyone who not only skipped college and went straight from high school to law school, but did so on a dare? Jodi left her high profile New York lawyer gig a few years ago to travel the world and along the way her blog was born.

Jonathan Fields – JonathanFields.com

I can not wait to read his upcoming book! Jonathan spoke to us about his soon-to-be-published book, “Uncertainty.” We are hard wired to avoid uncertainty and this can interfere with our happiness. How do we handle that? Well, Jonathan has some great ideas.

Danielle LaPorte – WhiteHotTruth.com

HOT is the word for this woman, creator of the Firestarter Sessions, former Washington DC think tank director, and all around bold, sassy, lady. Lots of great wisdom on life, love and business.

Jen Lemen & Andrea Scher – MondoBeyondo.org

Love these ladies. They were cause in the matter of me getting my tattoos. I think they are cause in the matter of things in a lot of people’s lives. And, the best part is, they do so with an amazing playful, loving, enthusiastic energy. I am definitely going to do their MondoBeyondo course before year’s end.

Michael Bungay Stanier – BoxofCrayons.biz

What I loved about Michael was he gave us real tools to use. We worked through concrete exercises and got to examine them. I felt like I had things to take home with me from Michael…and that he probably has a lot more to offer!

Karen Walrond – Chookooloonks.com

This lady is oozing with authencity. Loved her presentation — she showed us photos and told us stories from her book “The Beauty of Different.” Truly she is someone who finds beauty and love everywhere she goes.

Chris Guillebeau – ChrisGuillebeau.com

And of course the man who organized it all, creator of the blog “The Art of Non-Conformity,” travel hacker extraordinaire, and founder of the World Domination Summit.  If you are looking for tips on entrepreneurship, location free living, travel hacking, or just generally living “off the grid” – check out this website.

It’s time for Friday Link Love again! What is “link love”? It’s when you share some of your favorite reading, favorite blogs, or inspirational posts.

So here are some thought provokers for this week: Non-Conformity, the Definition of Strength, Getting Rid of Negativity, and…Meat Glue.

I have posted excerpts from each blog so you can see a sneak preview . Click on the blog title to read more!

ChrisGuillebeau.com / The Art of Non-Conformity

This isn’t a link to a specific article, but rather an entire blog, “The Art of Non-Conformity.” I am linking to this because starting today I am attending a multi-day event put on by AONC creator, Chris Guillebeau. The event is called the World Domination Summit and is taking place in my favorite city, Portland, OR. If you are looking for tips on entrepreneurship, location free living, travel hacking, or just generally living “off the grid” – check out this website.

What Is Strong? – ZentoFitness.com

“Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.” – Unknown

“For those expecting to see a post about strength levels in the gym this article may leave you disappointed. Instead this post is about strength in all walks of life – We sometimes forget that strength encompasses the mind and body and where the mind leads to body will follow.”

7 Simple Tips to Deal with Negative People – ZenHabits.com

“Have you ever dealt with negative people before? If you have, you will know that the experience can be quite a downer.

I used to have an ex-colleague who was very negative. In our conversations, she would complain endlessly about her co-workers, her work and her life. She was also very cynical about people in general, often doubting their intentions. Talking to her wasn’t a pleasant experience at all.

After a while, I figured I needed to work out an action plan to deal with negative people. After all, she was not going to be the only negative person I was going to encounter in my life.”

Meat Glue: Separating Fact From Fiction – MarksDailyApple.com

“If you’re a fitness and nutrition nerd, you’re long past the grade school days of willingly eating glue, paste, and other pseudo-edible adhesives, but there’s a decent chance you’re still eating an entirely different kind of glue unknowingly. Maybe even on a regular basis. I’m talking about meat glue, also known as transglutaminase, which restaurants and food producers use to create “steaks” out of “glued-together” stew meat, add body to dairy products, make imitation crab, improve processed meat mouth feel, to name a few.
