In this introductory video for his podcast, Richard Milligan explains the show’s format—recorded video episodes that are also streamed live, with added value at the beginning and end. He shares a personal update that he no longer plays golf due to a C4‑C5 fusion from a boating accident, which limits his rotation and swing. Using a golf‑range analogy, he contrasts a golfer who repeatedly tees up balls with a golfer who must walk back to the clubhouse for water after each swing, illustrating how constant repetition builds muscle memory and improves performance. He extends the analogy to business presentations, arguing that having someone schedule appointments lets you present more often, thereby scaling your outreach and sharpening your presentation skills through repeated practice.
Chapters
Everyone, Richard Milligan here, and this video is the intro to my podcast. So if you've seen any of these, we record our podcast on video, and then we also do the podcast live. And so we have a beginning and an ending to the video where we try to bring you just a little extra value. If I was going to go play golf, which by the way, I don't play golf anymore. So after having my C4-C5 fused from a boating accident, my rotation's not that great, and so my swing's not that awesome. So I don't play golf anymore, which is a win because I, you know, 4 to 5 hours, that's more that I can do, you know, with my family and other things that matter. But if I was going to use a golf analogy, if you and I went to the golf range and I was going to hit a bucket of balls and you were going to hit a bucket of balls, And you stood in that little tee box and you would hit one, tee it back up, hit another, tee it back up, hit another. But me, on the other hand, had a requirement that every single time I teed up a ball and I hit it, I had to walk all the way back to the clubhouse to get a drink of water and then come back and hit another ball. My muscle memory would not be there. It'd be like starting over again and again and again, and your swing would improve. Because of the muscle memory. You hit one right and it goes well, you're like, yes, that's it. I can, I can, I can do that again. The problem that you have is where you don't get the swings at bats. You, um, the tendency is that you don't quite get to the level that you could get if you were constantly presenting it again and again and again. So that's a side benefit of having someone setting these appointments for you is that you've got more time available to take the appointments. You are going to get more of the appointments at scale, and when you present them, you inevitably get better and better and better at presenting.
