And starting this year all bootcamps are 3 long fun days!!!!!

This is a conversation we had last night and it is something that most people do not ever think of.

Do you know what is the best place to sit when you go out with a group of eight people or more?

Most people will make the mistake of taking the end seat of the table. The problem with that seat is that if you have people on your side that you don’t want to talk to anymore, you’re just stuck in silent mode the whole time.

The key seat to take at all times when you go out with a group of people is the middle seat of the long side. Then, you can direct your conversation to just about everyone.

If you sit at the end, that’s not the lead seat – that’s the lecture seat.

Khiem: Sure, if you’re in a formal setting, the end is a good place to sit. But if you’re in a social setting, the best seat is absolutely-right-in-the-middle. You can connect to more people and you can also pay attention to everyone.

David: It’s a really important thing. Whenever you’re out at a group meal, make sure you’re not at the end. You don’t want to be at the head of the table.

You’d much rather be in the middle because if you look at the way the projection works – the person in the middle can basically project all the way across the table with no problem.

But when you’re at the very end, you’re stuck.

A lot of people always go for that seat because they think it has the most space. They think that it’s the best seat. And it is, from a power-structure point of view. You feel like you’re in the power zone.

It’s really that easy!
Todays video will bring back some fun summer memories.

Enjoy the day!!

It was so great when Ferris went over to Cameron’s house and just said, “I think today we’re going to take a day off.” They stole Cameron’s dad’s car and basically spent the day driving like maniacs through Chicago and having an incredible time.

Have you ever been on a Ferris Bueller date? Instead of planning your date so precisely – rather than saying, “well, we need to meet for dinner at 8:00 and then have a drink at 9:30 and then afterwards…” – no! Be spontaneous!

Have a Ferris Bueller date. Go out and have a purely spontaneous and fun day. Start off with something like taking a drive into the country. Pick a random exit to get off on – any exit – and from that exit find the Main Street, find a cool restaurant to eat at, and find some cool shops. Then get back into the car and on the interstate and do it again! Pick another random exit. We can call it ‘random exiting.’

If you’re in a city, walk around town, and whenever your date says ‘left’ or ‘right’ go down a different block. You’ll find different stores, cafes – whatever it might be.

If you live out in the country, you can do the same exact thing. Go for a drive, get off at a random exit and explore a new town.

The most important thing is to have a Ferris Bueller date – where you just go and get lost with each other and have a good time. Do this instead of having everything so rigid and planned, and instead of being so uptight.

Instead of worrying about what to do and when to do it, why don’t you just be spontaneous?

Do you ever go to rest stops and people watch? You can guess where all of the people are going to and coming from. I used to love doing that on a date. We would sit there and create all these back-stories for these families and other travelers. This also teaches you how to people watch and observe.

Another fun thing to do is to go and watch planes take off, and just guess where they are heading. You’ll never really know – but who cares? That’s what is fun. Or go to the airport and just watch everyone stress out for an hour and a half.

There are lots of fun things to do. Get creative and spontaneous. Make it your own Ferris Bueller date!
