Don't let the mysteries of life scare you away.

Instead, ask Outature.

Here's James Outature.

So I have Nick Morgan with me who is the author of the excellent book Power Cues,

the subtle science of leading groups, persuading others, and maximizing your personal impact.

Nick, how are you doing?

I'm doing great, James. How are you?

Good. And we were discussing earlier. You're trying to say whether to go to the beach or not.

Is that what you do in between like Power Cues?

Well, July and August, absolutely, whenever I can.

That or that or the bike.

You know, I always find don't you find the beach to be just like really hot and boring?

Like aren't you like really tired after the beach?

I'm actually a shade lover. So the beach for me is is a kind of torment.

I know I need to bite them indeed.

I'd love to get my toes in the sand, but I have to figure out a way to hide under an umbrella or something.

So I don't get sunburned.

I'm one of those people that sunburns instantly.

Yes, that's why I just also send the kids to the beach.

But as long as they don't drown and because then I feel guilty, they can do what they want.

And I just say, oh, but I want to talk about your book, which is basically, you know, I do a lot of public speaking.

I also do a lot of presenting and a lot of people I know do a lot of, you know, sales presenting or even dinner meetings or parties or whatever.
