Mastering Spanish before moving to Costa Rica. Table Talk My Worthless 2 Cents guest Richard Blank
Louisiana Country Boy: If you don't, if you don't want to go in the deep, So I mean, actually, how was it, you know, making the transition? Was it, was it difficult for you? I mean, you know, I don't like to ask questions, but I don't know. I mean, was it, was it a difficult thing or did you go like, you know what, I feel comfortable with what I'm about to do.
I'm about to make this step and this is, I'm led to do this and, and this is at peace. That's it. You were just at peace with your decision. Um, and never thought about turning.
Richard Blank: I was taking it a day at a time. It was only supposed to last two months. So being here 22 years is really a godsend. But let, let's look at it a couple different ways logically.
The first thing is I, I mastered Spanish before coming to Costa Rica, so that transition was very easy for me. I could James Bond it all day long. Yeah. Secondly, I knew that I was a guest in this country, so I wasn't the loud foreigner. I wasn't expecting certain things, and I had a lot of. Keeping an open-mindedness for a new culture and tradition.
That made it easy for me because a lot of things that you hold dear in Louisiana and Philadelphia don't mean anything here, So you don't have that home court advantage. You need to show who you are and that essence and, and also, I wasn't looking for trouble. I wasn't licking my thumb and counting dollars on the side of the.
Right. I wasn't being insulting to taxi drivers of the locals. I wasn't throwing trash on the ground or being rude. So there wasn't no sort of violence, right. Or any sort of aggression. Or, or pressure naturally I stand out. I'm a, you know, we call me a Blanco, I'm an extra arrow. I look like I'm from the United States, no matter how and, and I never really volunteer my Spanish initially, depending on the situation.
Cuz I just wanna see the good faith, right? And I let them assume that I don't speak Spanish, so at least I use that to my advantage. You have to do certain things strategically, right? I don't keep the earbuds in. I'm looking around the street. I'm not paranoid. Uh, you know, I'm astute. I'm looking around.
This is not a game. I'm 3000 miles away from you and my mother, and so I, I need to take this seriously. Right? And so I was really kinda like, if you're getting through the desert, I could look in the direction of where I was going, but if you're not looking at your feet, you could sprain an ankle. You're dead.
And so I was really taking it a day at a time just to make sure I was getting positive reinforc. Acclimating Well, cost of living was good, so there wasn't pressure there earning very good money, and so my friend, a lot of things just kind of fell into place to make it easier. Now, I'm, I'm telling you the end result of it.
Trust me, there are certain times where, you know, I needed to really use my resources here to make my life comfortable. There's certain things you can do. There are local people that will assist you cut a certain line if you know somebody or get things done quicker. You know, there's a lot of red tape here with the government.
So if you have accountants and attorneys, your life can be a lot easier too, and I prefer that. And, um, but I, I guess I just didn't want the United States rat race. I could have done it, but I didn't want it. Right. And so at 27 years old, I put up the white flag and said, You can have. Let me just see if I could do something else, and fortunately, This paid off and I just didn't know.
But that's what makes life exciting. That's it. Who wants to have things planned out like school or camp? You, you really wanna have a zig and a zza every now and again and a and a mix up because it keeps it exciting. And you and I were talking earlier, it's not really about what happens to you, it's how you react to what happens to you.
And the more that even though things could. difficult. Mm-hmm. , when I can look back at it and realize that I handled myself in a certain way with good faith, yes, and with good intentions. My good friend, I can live with myself. And those are the sort of personal. Positive reinforcements that let me know that I was doing the right thing and to keep doing.
It's not for everybody. And trust me, Costa Rica is gorgeous. I don't iberia, I'm not gonna stay there for 22 years. So, um, but it's nice. It's a good cocktail. Story to tell people and and a lot of my friends from Philadelphia, when they see me and they've done exceptionally well, they've all said, Richard, I wish I tried my own adventure.
Not specifically mine, right? But all of them had something in them that they always want at least test or try before the kids, the career, the mortgage, the pressures, right? Just to take a bite outta life just to see what it tastes like. And for me, I guess it was being a little selfish. I just. . I was a romantic.
I wanted to see what could happen in this beautiful hundred years that I have. Mm. And so that's why you see me so smiling. Right now. I have a luxury trade. I married the girl, my dreams, and I'm on a podcast with a
Louisiana Country Boy: mine.
You know? And you know, but I'll say it is wonderful. It is wonderful. And you did it. You, you walked out on again, I say that you, you know, you climbed. Uh, you didn't allow the things, whatever it may have been, whether it was this whole thing, you know, that's the worst one. This whole thing in between these old heels right here telling you don't, do you, You didn't listen to that.
You know, You didn't go like, Okay, well this is the box. I gotta be in this box. You didn't and may I, I, I applaud that and that's what I tell, I say to anybody, That's what you should do. Um, no, they can't be a Richard and they can't be a Louisiana country worker. We already taken. Uh, but they can be who they are.
And man, I applaud you for what you're doing and going there and, and, and staying and sticking with it. And, because I'm sure that old thing in between here again, say you need to come on back home now. You need to go on back many a times. But you said no. Mm-hmm. . Well, yes
Richard Blank: and no. You kind of live it now.
Prior to coming here, I. W besides the schooling, Imagine the sort of work I did with the Spanish outside of the classroom, with the movies and the reading and the writing and the, and the practice. So you wield your sword. You are prepared for this. Yes. And if you live it, then it's really just a natural progression.
This was my destiny, my friend. It had to be done.
Louisiana Country Boy: That is, that is, that is, You know, I, I'll say this, What you. And I tell everybody, this is what, what you should always do. You walked in purpose. On purpose. Mm-hmm. and, And people miss that. You know, some people know when you walk in purpose, on purpose, everything that's purposed for you, you get.
You walk into your destiny, that's the only way you can walk into your destiny. You have to do it in purpose. On purpose. You, you ain't gonna trip into your destiny. You ain't gonna just back bow into it. No, no, no. It requires something from us. It requires what you did and you did it. I mean, you did it. Um, and, and again, like I say, man, I, I applaud you for it.
I applaud you. I applaud you. For, for being able to just come here and, and, and, and share, like, you know, to tell the story about it. You know, this is not okay. Lemme say that. Look here, y'all, this man right here was not born in Costa Rica. Oh. I don't know. I don't know if y'all missed it. He was not born in Costa Rica.
He took the steps before he went, He said he learned Spanish. Okay. He took the, Okay. That's, that's that thing, right? He took the steps. He was walking up, parked up here. I need to do something outside the box. This is what I'm gonna do if I want to go here, then this is what? See, when you got to Costa Rica, my opinion, I don't know, You had everything in your toolbox already that you needed to fix, whatever it was.
Richard Blank: I wish you was shining brighter than I've ever done in my entire life since that first. And I never did tell a marketing before I got on the phone.

It's amazing. I I've talked to a lot of people that have traveled internationally. I haven't had the ability to, yet. I plan on doing it at one point in time, but I will, I don't think I'm not gonna no. So, but what they tell me is that when you leave this country and you go elsewhere, mm-hmm, people who have nothing.
And I mean, nothing mm-hmm can still be happy. It. Absolutely. Doesn't take a car. Doesn't take, you know, a lot of money. Uh, they've got water, they've got food, they've got a roof over their head. They've got family and they're happy. And I, I think we've, you've been gone a while. I think we've lost that we've lost touch with that in this country.
And I would hope to get it back. They also have faith. They have faith in themselves. They have faith in their family and they have spiritual faith. And I like things like that. And I believe that everybody in the world has that in common. It doesn't matter your culture, religion, your language, your skin color, or whatever.
No, there, there a smile is universal. And when people offer food and share things like that's universal, too. and in this culture, you cannot turn down a second plate of food as an insult. So just be prepared to eat and be prepared to be taken very well cared of, and also have the pleasure of reciprocating that as well.
And so I've seen that as part of this culture, but no, the, the United States is fine. We have this, I just think people need to slow down. Calm down a little bit and just get back to the basics, get back. As I mentioned, the way that we were raised by our parents and grandparents, and if we can get back to that sort of simple sort of mind frame and, and communication, people have much more, uh, effective and fulfilling relationships.
What what's happening is people are texting too much and they're not calling. or they're not seeing one another, because it may be COVID people got isolated and it's not easy. It's really, the tough road is to get back into that. The easy way is just to keep doing what you're doing, but the, but the more challenging way is to walk next door to your neighbors and to say hello, or to make that extra effort to not break a plan and to see your friends or to do a follow up email or phone call for courtesy.
And not be latent about it because people are expecting that. And so as long as you can do those sort of things on a daily basis, it won't pile up. You won't forget about it and you'll be invited to a lot of parties and events because you're showing interest in that sort of relationship. Absolutely.
Yeah. I ask my youngest son. When he was, uh, 18, 19, this is about 10 years ago, but he, he was to the, he was so good at texting that he could in class have his phone in his pocket and be able to text without looking at the, the number to the, uh, uh, letters as to mm-hmm. what he was. I mean, he was so gifted at texting.
He did it so much. So I asked him one day, I said, Don't you find that texting takes away from the personal attention of having a conversation with somebody. And he said, no, I'm fine with texting besides I can talk to five girls at the same time when I'm texting. And I can't do that when I'm on the phone.
So it's like, well, okay, but what's your son's name? The Fs . That sounds great. Five girls at the same time. He's remember our generat. Okay. We had to call people's homes to ask permission to speak to our friends. Yes, we did. Cuz dad would pick up the phone and it would be like, who's this that's right. Oh, you know, can I talk to Lisa please?
Uh, you know, and uh, but nowadays none of that's, but I think you're right. We've lost a human touch and we, and you would be great to get that human touch back. I gotta ask you in Costa Rica, what's the homeless situation like. It's there. Uh, and I, I see it a lot in, in San Jose, but really what I see is it's more of somebody that's lost their way.
It's usually a young man or a young woman that might be indulging. too much. Wow. Yes. And so that's what I see. And so, but other areas where yes, it is a third world country. And I have seen individuals out there asking for the most asking for OS from people. And you can tell that this individual might be a senior citizen or have a handicap.
Or something that's not drug or bad habit related. And a lot of people, including myself, not just give money, but then all of a sudden you ask, is there something that you need specifically? I need some sneakers, I need a jacket. I need something. You get that for them. It's not like a one and a done, like in my neighborhood, there was a corner and there was, there was Donna Katia.
She must have been at least 75 years old. And this woman was out there every day, sweetest woman. And she was literal. Almost supporting her family. I didn't ask too many questions, but this woman was out there asking for money and saying, you know, blessings for people. And she was very smart. She remembered people's names too.
And so when I would see her, I would give something. And then when Christmastime came along, I asked if there was something specific. She mentioned the sneakers for, you know, a grandchild and I, and I got that for her. And so, um, there's certain ways to do it. Like I'll give somebody money on the corner if they're juggling knives or doing some sort of acrobatic event.
Yeah, sure. I'll give you a couple dollars. But then when you see somebody every day and you realize they're part of your community, it's, it's something where people want to take care of them. It's interesting how neighbors will talk about this individual that you saw and they start learning about them.
And so this is a culture that really likes to take care of their own. And I've seen on the side, like if you walk past the banana plantation, they'll be a worker there and you're just walking and he's like, Hey, would you like a few bananas? You know, it's just, people are always sharing and they're always, um, Once again, trying to make people feel welcome, but I don't see it that bad.
I don't see really tent encampments here. We just see certain packets of the city that might have individuals, as I've mentioned that.

When I arrived in this country,
I was much lighter.
But for a host of reasons,
Iâve gained a lot of weight.
Little by little Iâve packed on the pounds.
Iâve always had issues with my weight though.
I donât eat junk food, but I tend to eat too much.
The food in Italy is the best in the world I think.
And that makes it even harder to resist over-indulging.
Right now Iâm overweight.
Some people might say Iâm pleasantly plump.
While others would say that Iâm just plain fat.
Iâm on a diet now. I hope I can stick to it.
Iâm developing better eating habits like
Not eating in between meals, or late at night.
No more midnight snacks for me!
My strategies include eating more slowly and with more attention.
Iâm even using smaller plates so that the portions look bigger.
I eat plenty of vegetables and green, as well as fruit like apples and pears.
And one key to my strategy is to never skip breakfast.
I always have a very healthy breakfast and that helps me not to give in to temptation.
Iâm determined to get ...

The Loud Few is a St.Louis based interactive marketing firm and in this video we are unlocking the "I'm on a boat badge" for foursquare on a company lunch outing to discuss social media. St.Louis Forest Park - The Boat House.
Do you have a guilty pleasure? Well, I do and I actually have lots to mention. I eat a lot of chocolates, cakes, ice creams and other sweets (to think IâÂÂm on a diet) especially after having a full meal. What else? I burn a lot of hours scouring the internet for anything from reading anything in Wikipedia to watching a lot of junk in Youtube. In between that, Facebook is where you can find me. Social networking is very huge nowadays. These is where we indulge to unwind, catch up on old friends, look for our lost friends and maybe check-out our old flame (No, I have no stalker tendencies).
Here's the first of several comic-con related videos.

This is one of the most common phobias, characterised by a strong emotional response and desire to get away from spiders, before you're consciously aware you're doing it. For this reason, many people consider phobias like this "irrational".
Spider phobias are not irrational. There's a clear neurological explanation why you're reacting the way you are.
You would have learned your phobia in one of 3 ways:
1. You had a bad experience with a spider.
2. You watched someone else have a bad experience with a spider and felt their reaction as if it were your own.
3. You learned through family, friends, peer group and culture that spiders were something to be scared of.
Phobias are some of the fastest problems to solve, usually taking a single session to cure.

Anxiety and panic attacks are short periods of time (from just a few seconds to 30 minutes or so) when you experience intense fear or discomfort. Sometimes panic attacks are specific to certain situations, sometimes they have generalised out from the initial situation or trigger to several situations. When you avoid situations where you might develop a panic attack by staying indoors, this is called agoraphobia.
I can show you how to deal with situations and thoughts that have triggered attacks in the past and how to react to needing to feel in control. Clients often find that their previous symptoms become more comfortable and happen less often, and they become more comfortable and confident in situations where they were once worrying about the possibility of panic attacks.

Many people believe that phobias are irrational and will tell you to âget over itâ. The thing is, the phobic response is a emotional state that canât be reasoned with.
The chances are, if youâre afraid of deep water, youâve had a scary experience in the water in the past and youâve learned that water might be dangerous. Every time you go into similar situations, the phobic response fires off to protect you from potential danger.
The good news is, because your brain has learned to do this behaviour, it can be unlearned â quickly, painlessly, and usually in just a session or two, so you can enjoy going in the water again, feeling calm and confident.

I was discussing the differences between a good public speaker and a not so good one with someone the other day, and they said the difference was all down to 'practice, practice, practice'.
The thing is, it depends what you're practising.
If, every time you think of standing up in front of people to speak or give a presentation you feel really anxious, your heart pounds, you forget what you want to say, your voice shakes and you start sweating excessively, then I'd suggest that practise alone might not fix the problem.
I can show you psychological techniques to help you:
* Beat anxiety and feel calmer around speaking in public
* Deal with nerves quickly when they arise
* Build inner confidence
* Learn presentation skills to deliver winning speeches, keynotes and presentations

There can be many reasons why people don't feel they can be assertive in relationships or at work.
Perhaps you worry about coming across as aggressive or shy away from conflict and possible confrontation. Perhaps you get shy or nervous or anxious when dealing with difficult situations. Or perhaps you just know know how to act or what to say in certain situations.
Once we identify how you'd like to be in those situations, I can show you how to feel calm and collected, and how to be assertive when you need to, using advanced psychological and mind conditioning techniques.

Many people are hesitant about new experiences (it's this nervousness that kept our caveman ancestors alive). So coming into contact with a snake is something than many of us would be a little nervous about.
But having a phobic response to snakes (or pictures of snakes, or things that look a bit like or remind us of snakes) can be very problematic and uncomfortable for many people.
The thing is, snake phobias - or fear of snakes - can be dealt with fairly easily and definitely painlessly. I use the most advanced mind conditioning techniques to help you let go of your phobia and remain calm - and even curious - in future situations.

About 12% of us have a specific phobia, but no one needs to live with a phobia any more. In previous decades a psychological technique called 'flooding' helped people overcome phobia by gradually de-sensitizing people to the thing they were scared of - this process was often challenging for the clients and took weeks.
In contrast, the techniques I use to help people rid themselves of their phobia usually takes a single session, and is completely comfortable for my clients.
