Luke Burgis: Mimetic Desire, Fulfillment, and the Hidden Forces That Shape What We Want

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Author and entrepreneur Luke Burgis joins us to explore the invisible architecture of human desire — and how understanding it can radically change our choices, ambitions, and sense of self. Drawing on his book *Wanting* and the mimetic theory of René Girard, Burgis unpacks how most of what we "want" is shaped not by independent reasoning, but by models — people we unconsciously imitate.From adolescent identity formation to startup culture, self-improvement traps, and curated social media personas, Burgis reveals how easily our values can be hijacked. He discusses the destructive loop of rivalrous desire, the myth of the autonomous goal-setter, and how most of us never pause to ask *why* we want what we want. The conversation also dives into the difference between thin vs. thick desires, how to build a life rooted in fulfillment rather than status, and the importance of discovering what only *you* can do. For anyone seeking clarity in a noisy, comparison-driven world, this episode is a wake-up call — and a blueprint for reclaiming your inner compass.

Kristin Neff: The Science and Practice of Self-Compassion

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Kristin Neff, pioneering researcher and author of *Self-Compassion*, shares a groundbreaking case for why treating ourselves with kindness isn’t indulgent — it’s essential. Drawing on decades of academic research and personal reflection, Neff outlines how self-compassion transforms mental health, resilience, motivation, and even our relationship to ambition.The conversation spans parenting, education, culture, and the myth of the “perfect” self. Neff breaks down the differences between self-esteem and self-compassion, explores how shame and criticism undermine growth, and reveals how to rewire self-talk using neuroscience and contemplative practice. Her concept of self-worth isn’t built on achievement or performance — it’s rooted in humanity, connection, and presence.From emotional resilience and rumination to social comparison and cultural programming, this episode is a masterclass in learning to care for yourself — not as a reward for success, but as a prerequisite for thriving.

Kate Peterson: Redefining Success and What It Means to Live a Good Life

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Kate Peterson, artist and author, shares her journey from chasing Instagram validation to defining success on her own terms. After spending 10 months in Greece, she realized that achievement itself was hollow—what mattered was building a life where small joys like pastries and coffee became the reward, not just checkpoints on a path to something else. Peterson explores how growing up across cultures shaped her identity, why social media creates superficial positive reinforcement loops, and how artists must navigate the spectrum between creating what they want and creating what pays. The conversation challenges Western individualism, explores Greek concepts of joy and togetherness, and questions whether the pursuit of an extraordinary life undermines the value of a perfectly good ordinary one. This is about defining the good life for yourself, not inheriting someone else's blueprint.

Kamal Ravikant: Rewiring Your Mind Through the Practice of Self-Love

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Kamal Ravikant, author of "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It," breaks down the neuroscience and daily practice of self-love as a transformative mental discipline. Drawing from his own journey through depression, Kamal explains how thoughts are just old mental loops running on autopilot, how we can consciously rewrite painful memories by changing their emotional charge, and why self-forgiveness is the necessary first step before transformation. He introduces the practice of layering one primal mental loop—I love myself—until it runs automatically and becomes the foundation from which your thoughts, feelings, and life arise. This conversation explores the malleability of memory, why the mind needs constant training like the body, and how seven minutes a day of internal work can compound into lasting change from the inside out.

Justin Connor: The Lungs Hold Grief and Why Workaholism Is Both Saving Grace and Achilles Heel for Filmmakers

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Justin Connor, filmmaker and musician behind The Golden Age, shares how his saxophonist father and jazz-loving parents never encouraged music yet inadvertently programmed workaholism into his DNA—a double-edged sword that became both his greatest asset for wearing multiple hats on independent films and his potential downfall requiring hard drive reformatting of his life. Connor reveals how cigarette addiction reflected grief stored in the lungs, how psychedelics and ayahuasca offered exploration without true addiction, and why workaholism proved more dangerous than any substance by fueling perfectionism, obsessive careerism, and control. Drawing from his upbringing witnessing family dynamics, he explains how directing became about trusting himself as an adult after childhood wounds, why he interned for Eric Holder before a double feature of Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction redirected him to Hollywood, and how creating The Golden Age with superhuman strength felt like lancing a boil that needed purging—a film he could never remake even with 10 million dollars.

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Jim Kwik, brain performance expert and author of Limitless, reveals how a childhood brain injury transformed him from the kid with the broken brain into one of the world leading authorities on accelerated learning and memory. Drawing from his immigrant parents sacrifices and his own journey through learning disabilities, Jim breaks down the three forces that limit us mindset, motivation, and methods. He explains why risk-taking capacity gets drilled out of us with age, how reframing victimhood into gifts unlocked his superpower, and why comparison through social media creates digital depression. This conversation explores neuroplasticity, energy management, and how to align daily actions with core values to escape the box of limiting beliefs.

Vanessa Van Edwards: From Student Council Nerd to Decoding Human Behavior

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Vanessa Van Edwards, behavioral researcher and author, traces her expertise in human behavior back to being a highly neurotic student council nerd with few friends in high school. That discomfort zone became her comfort zone—teaching, conferences, and analyzing how people communicate. Van Edwards breaks down nonverbal communication patterns, micro-expressions, charisma signals, and what research reveals about likability versus respect. She explains how to read rooms, why authenticity beats performance in social settings, and the science behind first impressions. Her work transforms awkward interactions into learnable skills by treating social dynamics as data rather than mystery.

Tiago Forte: Building a Second Brain After Five Schools Taught Him to Be a Chameleon

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Tiago Forte, creator of the Second Brain methodology, shares how attending five different schools in five consecutive years obliterated his social circles and forced him to become a chameleon—crossing between student government, cross country, French club, and chess nerds. This adaptability became the foundation for his work on knowledge management and building systems that work across contexts. Forte explains the CODE method for organizing information, why traditional note-taking fails, how to capture and connect ideas across projects, and why your brain is for having ideas, not storing them. His system helps knowledge workers think better by externalizing memory into a trusted digital system.

Susan Magsamen: Your Brain on Art and the Neuroscience of Creativity

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Susan Magsamen, author of Your Brain on Art, explores creativity through neuroscience rather than philosophy or technique. Born to working-class parents who never attended college—her father worked his way up from nurseries to insurance executive—Magsamen learned management and relentless work ethic early. She explains how art and creative engagement physically change brain structure, why aesthetic experiences matter for wellbeing beyond productivity, and what neuroscience reveals about how humans process creative work. Her research-backed approach bridges the gap between artistic practice and biological reality, showing that creativity isn't mystical—it's measurable, trainable, and essential for cognitive health.

Robin Dellabough: From Supporting Others' Creativity to Claiming Your Own

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Robin Dellabough, writer and editor, shares her unconventional journey from growing up in a bohemian Greenwich Village household to spending decades supporting other people's creativity. Raised by beatnik parents who gave her the confidence to try anything, she hitchhiked Europe at 17, lived in a Hawaiian treehouse, worked as a theater stage manager, and ghostwrote books—all while her own creative voice remained underground. Dellabough explains the pattern of talented people who facilitate others' success while neglecting their own work, how she eventually claimed her creative life through poetry and writing, and why direct feedback without sugarcoating serves creative growth better than false encouragement.

Rob Bloom: How Stuttering Forced Creative Problem-Solving and Authenticity

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Rob Bloom, creative director for Universal theme parks, shares his journey living with a stutter that shaped his entire life and career. He reveals how hiding his stutter for 30 years meant ordering food he didn't want, watching movies he didn't choose, and avoiding authentic self-expression. Paradoxically, stuttering forced him to become creative early—making videos for school presentations instead of speaking. Bloom explains the three coping strategies for stutterers (openly stuttering, blocking, or hiding), why hiding leads to inauthenticity, and how he eventually embraced his stutter. His story demonstrates how perceived limitations can become creative advantages and why vulnerability is essential for genuine connection.

Rich Karlgaard: Why Late Bloomers Win in a Culture Obsessed with Early Achievement

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Rich Karlgaard, author of Late Bloomers, dismantles the toxic narrative that success must come early. Drawing from his father's reinvention in his 30s and his own struggles after college, he explains why our obsession with early achievement is detrimental to people who develop at different paces. Karlgaard analyzes the college admissions scandal as a symptom of parental pressure, explores how comparison culture on platforms like Medium fuels inadequacy, and offers a research-backed case for why patience and diverse developmental timelines produce more fulfilled, successful individuals. He argues that being fired, struggling, and blooming late often leads to greater work than following the traditional fast-track path.

She reveals that her work is primarily about connection and being truly seen—not just physical encounters. Rebecca explains how religious Puritanism shapes American attitudes toward sexuality, why younger men in their 20s and 30s are now seeking her services post-Me Too movement, and how open communication about desire can shift sex from something dangerous to something empowering. She also discusses navigating relationships with partners outside her work and why pleasure rooted in fulfillment matters more than hedonistic thrills.

Jenny Blake: Free Time, Time-to-Revenue Ratios, and Rejecting the "Time Is Money" Myth

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Jenny Blake, author of "Free Time," reveals how her father—an architect who gives ruthless editorial feedback with his "WKIYB" abbreviation (we know it’s your book)—taught her to eliminate unnecessary qualifiers and strengthen her writing. Drawing from her experience creating a paid family newsletter at age 11 with 50 subscribers, Blake has always been entrepreneurial, guided by her mother’s lesson: "you should always know how to support yourself." As the breadwinner in her marriage who rejects traditional domestic roles, Blake challenges societal pressures on both men and women around earning and gender expectations. She introduces the "time-to-revenue ratio"—a missing P&L metric that measures how much time it takes to generate revenue—arguing that revenue, ease, and joy aren’t mutually exclusive. Blake dismantles Benjamin Franklin’s "time is money" myth, explaining that business owners aren’t rewarded for butt-in-seat time and that working less actually requires more sophistication through systems, automation, and delegation. Her three-part framework—align, design, assign—helps entrepreneurs optimize what’s now, not just navigate what’s next.

Marc Elliott: How Media Narratives Shape Truth and the Untold Side of NXIVM

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Marc Elliott shares his controversial perspective on NXIVM, arguing that media narratives have distorted the truth about Keith Raniere and the organization. Living with severe Tourette syndrome for 20 years, Elliott found relief through NXIVM techniques when traditional medical approaches failed. He challenges the dominant narrative by examining inconsistencies in accusers stories, questioning the lack of due process in the trial, and arguing that salacious headlines and the MeToo movement created a climate where critical questioning was discouraged. Elliott explains how easy it is to be a victim in modern culture, the importance of evaluating evidence rather than emotions, and why he believes that prejudicial tactics corrupted the judicial process. This conversation explores media manipulation, the ethics of narrative control, and the uncomfortable space between believing victims and demanding evidence.

Luvvie Ajayi Jones: Professional Troublemaking and the Power of Making Good Trouble

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Luvvie Ajayi Jones challenges the cultural expectation that harmony is more important than justice. As a professional troublemaker, she argues that speaking up in rooms where bad ideas or unjust systems persist is not just necessary—it is our responsibility. Drawing from her Nigerian heritage and her grandmother's fearless example, Luvvie explores how we've been conditioned to shrink ourselves, hide our superpowers, and accept being called "too much" instead of claiming our full selves. She breaks down why we fear asking for what we want, why boundaries are gifts rather than selfishness, and how imposter syndrome can actually drive us to do better work. Her framework for professional troublemaking reframes discomfort as worthwhile when it serves a larger cause.

Oliver Burkeman: Why Positive Thinking Fails and the Paradox of Pursuing Happiness

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Oliver Burkeman, author of "The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking," dismantles the self-help industry's obsession with optimism and goal-setting. Raised as a Quaker with pro-social parents, Burkeman explores why chasing happiness often makes us miserable, how negative visualization (imagining worst-case scenarios) builds resilience, and why acceptance of uncertainty is more valuable than relentless positivity. He explains that we already know the five or six things required for a meaningful life—good relationships, sleep, nature, exercise—but consuming more books and courses becomes procrastination disguised as progress. The conversation tackles spiritual bypassing, why new information rarely solves our problems, and how shifting perspective at an emotional level matters more than intellectual understanding. This is a contrarian, practical take on self-improvement that challenges the tyranny of positive thinking.

Michelle Gielan: How Small Shifts in Communication Create Big Changes in Happiness and Resilience

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 13:00:00 GMT

In this powerful conversation, former CBS news anchor and positive psychology researcher Michelle Gielan unpacks how we can rewire our communication habits to shape more resilient, empowered, and optimistic lives — both personally and collectively. Drawing on research from her book *Broadcasting Happiness*, Gielan shows how small shifts in the way we speak, frame problems, and open conversations have a measurable impact on our mindset, productivity, and relationships.She explores the science behind “power leads,” fueling facts, and positive priming — including how a single sentence can increase workplace performance, family resilience, and mental well-being. Gielan also breaks down the dangers of passive news consumption, the psychology of negativity bias, and how to apply fact-checking to rewrite the personal stories that keep us stuck in stress or fear.From practical strategies for dealing with pessimism and toxic people to the data-driven case for gratitude and solution-oriented media, this episode offers a toolkit for becoming a more intentional broadcaster of hope — at work, at home, and in your own mind.

Justin McRoberts: Mortality, Meaning, and Giving Away Everything You've Got

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Justin McRoberts, musician, pastor, and author of "It's What You Make of It," shares how confronting death early in life shaped his approach to creativity and faith. Having attended over 20 funerals by age 25, McRoberts explains why understanding mortality is essential to living fully and why the cultural narrative of imperviousness keeps people from taking creative risks. He explores how opportunities—not rigid plans—defined his multi-hyphenate career, why narrative holds human lives together, and how we're taught that art is something you earn after being responsible to the system. McRoberts makes the case for flipping that script: using your gifts now, taking financial and social risks, and approaching life as something to give away rather than protect. This is a conversation about death, creativity, faith without absolutes, and why your life should be a gift.

Jeff Wald: Navigating the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Why Personal Responsibility Defines the Future of Work

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Jeff Wald, author of The End of Jobs and CEO of WorkMarket, examines how robots and AI are creating the fourth industrial revolution—a massive power shift from workers to companies that mirrors past technological upheavals. Drawing from labor history, on-demand platforms, and regulatory battles like California Prop 22, Wald reveals why the lifetime employment contract was always a myth with average job tenure at 5 years in 1960 and 4.2 years today. He introduces the hard tech vs. hard human framework: thriving in automation requires either technical skills like software, AI, and data or human skills that machines cannot replicate such as creativity, empathy, and sales. Wald unpacks how income inequality, personal responsibility, and opportunity gaps threaten societal stability, why unions must reinvent themselves through movements like Fight for 15, and how lifelong learning became non-negotiable when skills now decay within 4-6 years instead of lasting a 30-year career.

Jason Naylor: The Psychology of Color and Why Bright Hues Unlock Positivity, Memory, and Human Connection

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Jason Naylor, artist and author of Live Life Colorfully, shares how growing up as the second of seven children in a Mormon family in Salt Lake City shaped his caretaker personality and his eventual escape to New York where he discovered creative liberation. Naylor reveals the symbiotic relationship between color and messaging in his work—the more positive and uplifting his messages became, the more color naturally emerged because he couldn't visualize kindness without bright hues. Drawing from color theory and neuroscience, he explains how yellow triggers hunger, why fast food brands use red and yellow strategically, how bright saturated colors ignite short-term memory while muted colors remain in long-term memory, and why a woman in a red dress commands attention not just culturally but neurologically. Naylor explores how color impacts space design, fashion choices, and personal presence, arguing that the right color is not about inherent qualities but about how confidently you wear it and how it makes you feel.

Jacob Sager Weinstein: The Memory Palace Method and Why You Cannot Synthesize What You Do Not Remember

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Jacob Sager Weinstein, comedy writer for Dennis Miller and author of How to Remember Everything, shares how growing up in privileged Washington DC where the vice president's daughter was in his debate club gave him confidence to walk into any room but delayed his understanding that not everyone has equal access to opportunity until he reached Princeton. Weinstein reveals how writing for Dennis Miller taught him to find the Venn diagram between his voice and another's—a skill that translated perfectly to children's books where kids have the same BS detector for mechanical writing. He makes the case for memory in an information-saturated world: you cannot synthesize facts Google knows, only facts you know, which is why students must memorize foundational knowledge before creating something new. Weinstein introduces the memory palace method for turning hard-to-remember abstract information into easy-to-remember visual locations and explains the curve of forgetting where 75 percent of information vanishes within 24 hours unless you use spaced repetition to stretch retention from days to weeks to permanent memory.

Hillary Weiss: The Danger of Just Mindset and Why Imitation Is a Trap for Finding Your Golden Thread

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Hillary Weiss, brand strategist and positioning coach, reflects on growing up in suburban South Florida where attending the same school for 14 years meant everyone remembered who peed their pants in pre-K yet created lifelong friendships that watched her evolve from emo to punk rock to professional white woman. Weiss challenges the dangerous mindset mantra in entrepreneurship, arguing that privilege and circumstance—like having a home to return to if everything went belly up—allow some people to take risks that others cannot afford. She introduces the elevator framework: going one floor down beneath surface-level statements like I help clients find their voice to uncover the golden thread that makes someone exceptional. Weiss explains why imitation is a reasonable starting point but becomes a trap when entrepreneurs copy successful people's maps without understanding why they do things a certain way, resulting in indistinguishable businesses wearing outfits not made for them. She warns against the Protestant work ethic that led her to six figures by 25 but also total burnout from working seven days a week.

Gautum Mukunda: The Paradox of Leader Selection and Why Unfiltered Presidents Are a Dangerous Gamble

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Gautum Mukunda, Harvard professor and author of Indispensable: When Leaders Really Matter, reveals the paradox at the heart of leadership selection: the more effort you put into picking a leader, the less it matters who you pick. Drawing from decades of presidential history, Mukunda introduces the concept of filtered versus unfiltered leaders—George H.W. Bush represents the filtered ideal with 44 years in government before becoming president, while Barack Obama exemplifies the unfiltered wildcard with only three years in the Senate. Filtered leaders are predictably competent; unfiltered leaders are remarkable for better or worse, usually worse, because there are far more ways to fail than succeed. Mukunda argues that America picks unfiltered presidents half the time, more than any other major democracy, which explains both George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt at moments of crisis and spectacular failures in between. He warns that winning Russian roulette doesn't mean you should keep playing and explores why Indian American identity, immigrant narratives, and cultural preservation matter in an era when the president said his community's success damages America.

Cal Newport: Why Social Media Is Big Tobacco Not Big Oil and the Steam Whistle Theory of Attention

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Cal Newport, computer science professor and author of Digital Minimalism, argues that the better analogy for social media is not big oil that must be broken up because it's vital to society but big tobacco that must be culturally rejected because it's unhealthy and dispensable—people don't care if you tell them to leave Facebook for six months but petroleum deprivation changes lives. Newport reveals Facebook's PR pivot after 2016 when defectors like Sean Parker exposed addiction engineering: Cambridge Analytica let Facebook redirect media attention to fixable privacy and content moderation issues instead of unfixable business-model problems like bleeding users' attention through steam whistle tweets. Drawing from Mark Harmon quitting Twitter and Neil Stephenson's famous essay Why I Am a Bad Correspondent, Newport explains the novelist's dilemma: each tweet is a steam whistle that bleeds energy needed to fuel the boiler for producing lasting work. He dismantles the myth that creators need social media to grow, arguing that people talking about your work on their channels matters infinitely more than you promoting yourself on yours.

Cal Newport: Cognitive Athleticism and Why Elite Performers Protect Their Attention

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Computer science professor and bestselling author Cal Newport explains why cognitive fitness matters as much as physical fitness for elite performance. Drawing from his work with NBA teams and hedge fund managers, Newport breaks down the connection between attention control and exceptional achievement. He challenges the myth that social media grows your audience, revealing that craft—not constant self-promotion—drives lasting success. The conversation explores why our social brain can't process text-based connection, the engineering behind platform addiction, and how working backwards from deeply held values creates lasting behavioral change. Newport introduces the concept of "analog social media," explains why privacy debates distract from the real harm of digital overuse, and shares why protecting your cognitive resources from being bled out "one steam whistle tweet at a time" is essential for producing meaningful work.

Brea Starmer: Redefining Work Around Highest and Best Use, Not Hours Logged

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Brea Starmer, founder of Lions and Tigers, challenges the outdated workplace model that measures face time over impact. Drawing from her experience as a mother of three running a company during COVID-19, she introduces the concept of "highest and best use"—a real estate framework adapted to human potential that prioritizes outcomes over hours logged. Starmer reveals why 11.5 million workers quit their jobs between April and June 2021 alone, with burnout as the number one driver and women of color disproportionately affected. She unpacks how traditional workplace structures fail parents, especially mothers, who navigate staccato schedules dictated by sick kids, COVID testing, and survival-mode 15-minute work chunks. Through Lions and Tigers' model of flexibility, inclusive culture, and organizational clarity, Starmer demonstrates why companies that center their people's actual needs achieve better collective results—and why the eight-hour workday built for a different era must be dismantled.

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Dylan Beynon, founder of Mindbloom, shares the deeply personal story behind building the first at-home ketamine therapy platform. After losing his mother and sister to severe mental illness, Dylan became determined to bring psychedelic medicine into mainstream healthcare. He explains the neuroscience of how ketamine creates neuroplasticity—allowing the brain to rewire itself—and why these treatments are showing 10x better outcomes than SSRIs. From navigating FDA breakthrough therapy designations to dismantling decades of stigma from Nixon-era drug policy, Dylan reveals how Mindbloom is democratizing access to treatments that were once only available in $5,000 in-person clinics.

Donny Jackson: The Internalized Stains of Slavery and Why Empathy Cannot Develop Without Interaction Across Racial Lines

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Donny Jackson, poet and psychologist, reflects on growing up as a working-class black kid in Pittsburgh where his father was a postal worker for 35 years and his mother was a nurse's aide—parents who instilled work ethic, integrity, and honor while navigating a world not built for young black children. Jackson traces the roots of American racism to the legacy of slavery where black people started as chattel on unequal footing and never shed that history, creating an internalized stain on both sides of the racial fence. He explains how separate but equal was never true, how tribalism prevents empathy development because it is much harder to oppress someone whose feelings you have taken into account, and why redlining and subtle discrimination in apartment rentals remain part of the disease of living a racialized life. Drawing from Isabel Wilkerson's research, Jackson highlights how FDR-era policies designed to improve American life excluded black people, creating structural racism that takes a toll. He warns that 70 million Trump voters represent at least 70 million reasons to remain fearful even after Biden's election.

Bjorn Ryan-Gorman: Coming Out as Gay in the Snowboarding World and Reclaiming Masculinity on Your Own Terms

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Bjorn Ryan-Gorman, professional snowskater and LGBTQ+ advocate, shares his journey from hiding his sexuality behind aggressive board sports to building a life of authenticity in Portland. Growing up in Montana as a sponsored snow athlete, Ryan-Gorman used snowboarding and skateboarding as outlets for self-hatred and denial, pushing himself to dangerous extremes before hearing a podcast that changed everything. He reveals the complex reactions from family—his mom's unexpected resistance, his dad's surprising embrace, and grandparents who rejected him entirely. Ryan-Gorman explores masculine drag within the bear community, the importance of diverse LGBTQ+ representation beyond stereotypes, and the persistent question that haunts him in rural spaces: Am I safe here? This conversation challenges assumptions about what gay men look like, explores how coming out should be celebrated but not sensationalized, and offers insight into the ongoing struggle of navigating safety, identity, and belonging in America.

David Epstein: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

David Epstein, author of Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, dismantles the myth that early specialization is the only path to excellence. Drawing from research on elite athletes, musicians, and scientists, David reveals how individual variability in learning means there is no one-size-fits-all approach to skill development. He reframes the Tiger Woods and Mozart narratives, showing how their success came from internal drive, not just parental pressure. From his own journey—leaving Sports Illustrated to investigate drug cartels—David demonstrates why sampling periods, lateral thinking, and diverse experiences create more adaptable, innovative problem-solvers than narrow expertise alone.

Ayelet Fishbach: The Science of Motivation, Why Fantasies Fail, and Balancing Abstract Goals with Concrete Plans

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Ayelet Fishbach, motivation researcher at University of Chicago, dismantles the fantasy-driven approach to New Year's resolutions and goal-setting. Drawing from data spanning multiple years, she reveals that while temporal landmarks like New Year work for initiating goals, only 20% of people still pursue them by November—the difference comes down to whether you're fantasizing or planning. Fishbach explains how fantasies (envisioning yourself already achieving the goal) actually decrease motivation to send job applications or take action, whereas concrete plans ("I will call my connections, work on my resume, here are the steps") drive execution. She introduces the critical balance between "why" questions (abstract purpose that prevents you from giving up) and "how" questions (concrete steps that enable execution), warning that goals become too abstract when they reach "I want to be happy" and too concrete when you lose sight of why you're doing them. The conversation explores Michael Phelps' visualization strategy (preparing for goggles filling with water, not just winning gold) and why optimism without planning is just delusional fantasy masquerading as motivation.

Daniel Stillman: The Architecture of Conversations and Why Every Interface Shapes What We Say

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Daniel Stillman, author of Good Talk: How to Design Conversations That Matter, reveals how conversations are designed—whether we realize it or not. Drawing from his background in design thinking and facilitation, Daniel breaks down the components of conversational architecture: openings, turns, power dynamics, and interfaces. He explains why physical and digital spaces fundamentally alter what conversations are possible, how to slow down heated exchanges through pacing and tone, and why the most important conversations we design might be the ones we have with ourselves. From boardrooms to Zoom rooms, Daniel shows how small changes to conversational structure can unlock radically different outcomes.

Dandapani: Mastering Your Mind as an Operating System, Sexual Energy Transmutation, and the Monastic Path to Unwavering Focus

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Dandapani, former Hindu monk who lived monastically for 10 years, shares teachings from his guru on treating the mind as an operating system that must be understood before it can be mastered. He explains the critical distinction between a focused life (giving undivided attention to whoever/whatever you're engaged with) and a purpose-focused life (where your life's purpose defines priorities that drive what you focus on). Drawing from Napoleon Hill and his guru's book *Merging with Siva*, Dandapani unpacks sexual energy transmutation—asking: if one sperm created a person who could change the world, what could a million create if that energy were harnessed instead of wasted? He reveals monastic teachings rarely shared: how to sleep, wake, eat, breathe, sit, and shower to put energy back into your body. Dandapani argues that without understanding how your mind works, you can't focus long enough on yourself to achieve self-reflection and discover what you truly want—making intentionality impossible before mastering the fundamental operating system we all carry but were never taught to use.

Cal Newport: Slow Productivity, Escaping Pseudo Productivity, and the Three Principles for Sustainable Knowledge Work

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 20:24:05 GMT

Cal Newport unpacks his framework for Slow Productivity, built on three core principles: doing fewer things, working at a natural pace, and obsessing over quality. He introduces "pseudo productivity"—the toxic heuristic that emerged in mid-20th century knowledge work when visible activity became a proxy for useful effort because traditional productivity metrics (Model Ts per hour, bushels per acre) no longer applied. Newport argues that pseudo productivity was tolerable until the digital office revolution—email, Slack, mobile computing—enabled visible activity to be demonstrated at incredibly high frequency, anywhere, anytime, creating a performance theater that drains actual productive capacity. The conversation explores how to build custom AI systems for daily planning (using GPT models trained on transcripts and book notes), the three levels of working with large language models (training from scratch, fine-tuning, and software intermediaries), and why specialized vertical AI will dominate the next wave of innovation. Newport makes the case for abandoning industrial-era proxies and reclaiming knowledge work as a craft that requires depth, patience, and quality over constant performative busyness.

Alan Stein Jr: The Performance Gap Between Knowing and Doing, and What Elite Athletes Teach Us About Execution

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 20:22:55 GMT

Alan Stein Jr, former basketball performance coach to Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, and other NBA superstars, reveals why knowledge without execution is worthless and how the world's highest performers bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Drawing from decades working with elite athletes, Stein explains that performance gaps exist in every area of life—we all know we should eat healthier, sleep more, and exercise consistently, but implementation separates good from great. Through stories of Kevin Durant's transformation from a frail 15-year-old with pristine fundamentals to NBA superstar, Stein unpacks the perfect storm required for elite success: physical predisposition combined with high IQ, work ethic, coachability, resiliency, and love of competition. He introduces self-awareness as the foundational requirement for growth—defining it as alignment between how you see yourself and how the world sees you. From his divorce-driven awakening to parenting twin sons with unconditional love while demanding effort and coachability, Stein demonstrates how principles from basketball translate directly to business, parenting, and personal development through focus on process over outcomes.

Andrew Yang: Universal Basic Income and the Automation Crisis Remaking America

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Andrew Yang traces his path from failed entrepreneur to 2020 presidential candidate driven by a single realization: automation has already destroyed millions of American jobs, and the next wave will be exponentially worse. Through his work with Venture for America, he witnessed firsthand the economic devastation in Detroit, Ohio, and the Midwest—where automated manufacturing jobs created the conditions that elected Donald Trump. Yang argues that artificial intelligence will soon eliminate truck driving, retail, call centers, and even white-collar professions like law and accounting. His solution is Universal Basic Income—a $1,000 monthly Freedom Dividend for every American adult, funded by a Value Added Tax on tech companies. He dismantles objections about affordability and work ethic, revealing how the policy would grow GDP by $2.5 trillion, create 4.5 million jobs, and transform America into a human-centered economy before technological displacement pushes society off a cliff.

Christy Tennery-Spalding: Building Political Homes and Redefining Self-Care Beyond Capitalism

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Christy Tennery-Spalding, activist and organizer, shares how growing up near Washington D.C. shaped her oppositional stance to power structures and led her to find a “political home” in San Francisco’s activist community. She introduces the concept of informed consent in organizing—ensuring participants feel safe, informed, and empowered rather than treated as bodies in the street. Tennery-Spalding challenges the wellness industrial complex’s version of self-care, revealing how she fell into the trap of “capitalist self-care”—overloading herself with yoga classes, meditation, and clean eating until she burned out from her own self-care routine. Drawing from her experience with severe scoliosis, depression, and PTSD, she advocates for anti-capitalist self-care that questions productivity culture and challenges the belief that our worth is tied to usefulness. She explores how childhood conditioning around pleasing others, performing, and being palatable shapes our relationship with rest, and why sometimes the most radical act of self-care is simply lying down and being intentionally “not useful.”

Andrew Bustamante: Inside the Mind of a Spy — Tradecraft, Trust, and the Cost of Secrecy

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Former CIA field operative Andrew Bustamante pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to recruit spies, run intelligence operations, and navigate a life built on secrecy, loyalty, and manipulation. In this riveting and wide-ranging conversation, Bustamante shares stories from his military training at the Air Force Academy, his time at “The Farm” — the CIA’s elite training facility — and his years of fieldwork turning foreign agents into assets.He explains how spycraft isn't about glamour or violence — it's about reading people, controlling trust, and gaining influence through empathy and psychological leverage.

Carlos Adell: From Drug Dealer to Industrial Engineer to Finding True Success Through Strategic Environment Design

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Carlos Adell shares his unconventional path from growing up in a small Spanish town with limited resources to running a six-figure drug dealing business while simultaneously working as a DJ and industrial engineer. After nearly dying from a heart attack at 29 while working in corporate, Adell discovered that he had been living other people’s dreams—adopting identities shaped by whoever surrounded him. He reveals the powerful principle that drove both his descent and his redemption: you become who you surround yourself with. Whether it was “bad boys” leading him into crime or successful entrepreneurs inspiring his transformation, Adell learned to reverse-engineer his environment deliberately. Moving to Australia without speaking English, he rebuilt himself from scratch, applying lessons from drug dealing (understanding markets and people) and engineering (systems thinking) to create a life designed for fulfillment rather than external validation.

Damon Centola: Why Change Spreads from the Edges—Not the Influencers

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Damon Centola, sociologist and author of *Change: How to Make Big Things Happen*, dismantles the myth of the influencer and introduces a radically different model of how ideas and behaviors actually spread. In this thought-provoking conversation, Centola explains why change doesn’t come from social media stars with massive followings—but from dense clusters in the network periphery. He explores how weak ties, wide bridges, and network dynamics shape everything from viral movements like Black Lives Matter to behavioral shifts like installing solar panels or quitting smoking. Drawing from decades of experimental research, Centola reveals that most people misjudge what causes change—believing it’s money, recognition, or messaging—when it’s actually subtle cues from peers. He shares how “complex contagions” require reinforcement from trusted networks, not mass exposure, and why virality alone fails to produce lasting impact. Whether you're a founder, activist, or creator, this episode will challenge how you think about social influence, innovation, and what truly drives societal tipping points.

Drawing from Niklas Luhmann’s Zettelkasten method, Ahrens explains why insight isn’t something you plan for, but something you engineer into existence by connecting information deliberately over time. The conversation explores permanent notes, structured workflows, the failure of linear planning, and why writing is thinking — not a result of thinking. With over a thousand interviews as source material, Srini reflects on how note-taking became a creativity engine, not a storage problem. Together, they reveal a system where intellectual productivity compounds — and why the ability to retrieve insight is more powerful than hoarding information.

Life of Purpose: Kamal Ravikant | The Profound Power of Personal Commitment

Wed, 10 Jul 2024 07:00:00 GMT

If we make a practice in our lives, like going to the gym or eating healthy, if you want to lose weight and be fit, or you want to be chiseled, you’ve got to make a practice. It’s a daily practice. You can’t go to the gym for a week and eat cake for 30 days nonstop and say “hey what happened? I was getting in shape.”

Whether you’re feeling bad or feeling good, that doesn’t matter. It’s just your practice, like when you wake up and when you go to sleep. There are certain things you do. It’s a fundamental practice. Just like you talk about with writing. It’s a practice. Then you hit the flow state. Same thing in life. You make it a practice. Life hits a flow state.

Things in life happen. People die. Nothing we can do to stop that. People we love die. Things happen. When we hit that flow state we bounce back much faster. The things that used to bring us down don’t bring us down like before. Then it’s only the real tragedies in life that bring us down. When a loved one dies, it’s a real tragedy and that should bring you down. It’s good to have loved someone that way and feel the loss. But the other stuff, the other garbage, the 99 percent of the stuff that brings us down that doesn’t matter lessens and its power over us lessens. So, I would say to someone who is either down or up, what matters is a fundamental daily practice of working on your inner self that keeps you in your personal flow. - Kamal Ravikant

This enlightening discussion challenges conventional wisdom and encourages us to reevaluate our understanding of trauma and anxiety.

By acknowledging these rewards, we can begin to understand our actions better and make meaningful changes.

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 11:20:34 GMT

In this episode, we're thrilled to have Annie Murphy Paul, an acclaimed author and a graduate of Columbia University's School of Journalism. Annie has a keen interest in the science of learning, a topic she has extensively explored in her work.

Annie shares her journey of writing a book about the science of learning. She discusses the challenges she faced in finding a big idea that could pull together all the disparate pieces of research she was uncovering. It wasn't until she landed on the theory of the extended mind, proposed by philosophers Andy Clark and David Chalmers, that she found the organizing principle for her book.

In our conversation, Annie delves into the role of leaders and managers in creating environments for people to thrive. She argues that we need to rethink the role of leaders and managers, not as people managers, but as situation creators. They should focus on creating environments in which people can think well and thrive emotionally.

Annie also touches on the impact of personality tests and the tendency of people to attribute fixed qualities to themselves and others. She finds personality tests fascinating, not only because they're used by organizations to put people into boxes, but also because people often want to be put into boxes. This tendency, she argues, overlooks the role of context in understanding behavior.

One of the things that is key to the success of children and I’d say anyone is to be related to. Part of what makes it possible for children to learn, grow and develop is that they are related to as people who can learn, grown, and develop. If you are not related to as a learner, but instead are related to as a loser, a fuckup, as somebody who is not going got go anywhere because of ABCDEFG, that is so much a part of why it is kids don’t succeed and they can’t learn. – Cathy Salit

The Unmistakable Creativity Hour | Why You Can't Copy and Paste Someone Else's Path to Success

Sun, 03 Apr 2022 17:23:17 GMT

In this episode of the Unmistakable Creativity Hour, we discuss how to implement the advice you get from books, podcasts, courses and coaches. The reason you can't copy and paste someone else's path to success is because in order to do so, you would need to overlook all unique variables and neglect the fact that prescriptive advice is context dependent. Context determines the effectiveness of all advice. For example, if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you might look to Elon Musk as a role model. He is a great example of someone who has been able to achieve success by taking risks and being innovative. However, you also need to take into account the unique context in which he operates. Before modeling successful people you need to account for the variables that you simply can and can't replicate.

What is it that makes people fall in love? It's one of the greatest mysteries of being human. I walked into the bookstore here in Colorado and stumbled upon Mandy Len Catron's memoir, How to Fall In Love with Anyone by Asking Them 36 Questions, and I couldn't help but wonder if these questions really could make you fall in love with anyone. My roommate, Matt, and his girlfriend at the time, Laura, volunteered to ask each other these questions to find out if this might just lead to a deeper connection and take us closer to solving the mystery of love.

Listener Favorites | Bob Gower: Inside the Psychology of Cults

Fri, 04 Jun 2021 07:00:33 GMT

In classic cult psychology or cult literature, there’s really two characteristics to a cult. First is that it’s ideologically intense and of course that can describe a lot of organizations. Everything from say something like the Landmark forum to the United States of America. We have an ideology that sits behind the organization. In order to be a part of the US government you have to adopt a certain kind of ideology. There’s this idea that we have an ideology. And cults for that reason pray on people like myself who really want to make the world a better place, want to change the world or feel dissatisfied in some way. There can be political cults. There are quite a few of those out there. There can be spiritual cults. There can be even commercial cults. Real estate is apparently a really common place right now where you find people who are learning how to flip houses and do all this stuff. And they began to develop these really intense ideology around how they approach the world and how they see the world. – Bob Gower

Listener Favorites: Tim Collins | Overcoming Anxiety

Fri, 21 May 2021 07:00:01 GMT

Being extremely hard on ourselves is very common in the very high stress and anxiety space because that’s kind of what got us there in the first place. Now, I love using the word curiosity. So when I get into these instances, I go to a curious place and say “Is this necessary? Does it really impact other people? The people that are impacted, do I really care what they think?” So much of our struggle in life is caring massive about what other people think of us. The reality is that there are only handful of people in the world that can affect my emotions in terms of what I think. Catering to everybody else is to my own detriment.

In the midst of overwhelming anxiety, Tim Collins left his 6 figure salary and job as a VP of Sales to lean into his anxiety and, in the process, overcome it.

Listener Favorites: Marina Krakovsky | The Middleman Economy

Fri, 05 Mar 2021 07:26:11 GMT

The way I started thinking about middlemen initially was this very simple definition: the person who connects buyers and sellers in a marketplace. In my reporting I actually came across a more expansive and smarter definition. This came from a VC in the valley named Mike Maples. And he says “a middleman in a network is that node in a network that connects other nodes to increase the value of the network.” That’s looking at it from a more positive view and it’s obviously a network view. It’s really looking at the value of the person who is making those connections because not all middlemen can create value or can increase the value of the network. Even if they do they don’t necessarily help both parties enough to justify their cost. I really like that positive angle. Also, it’s so expansive that it goes beyond buyers and sellers. If I know somebody who I think you should meet, I can make that introduction. I’m a middleman who has improved the value of my network by making both people hopefully better off. – Marina Krakovsky

For decades, we've been taught that if we strive for better or greater, it will bring us happiness and success.

Fri, 29 Jan 2021 07:00:07 GMT

Belief is what drives people’s decisions. This has to do with people’s desires. Their desires drive their beliefs and their beliefs drive their actions, period. It’s as simple as that and it’s as complex as that that because people are unaware of this. We are being pushed and pulled by our environment. We’re just trying to make it through the day: have a decent day, have nothing go wrong, and at the end of the day flip on Netflix. That’s what’s going on in the marketplace. When you get somebody to adopt what you do, you’re getting somebody to switch one belief for another belief and then going back on autopilot. – Tom Asacker

Tom Asacker is the author of The Business of Belief and sought after speaker who has lectured on innovation, strategic communication, the customer experience, and marketplace trends to corporate, association, and university audiences around the world.

"Humans are emotional creatures. We all have the chance right now today to decide, and that word is so important, to decide to live a beautiful life, meaning no matter what’s going on. Don’t take my word for it. Victor Frankl, a holocaust survivor, this is all him, this is literally the message of his book Man’s Search for Meaning. When you decide to find something beautiful right now in the moment and this is somebody saying it from the perspective being in Auschwitz. When you can find purpose in what you’re going through, when you can find purpose in your suffering and you know why you’re doing this, then you really can have a fulfilling life regardless of the circumstances. If we all have to make that choice, we have to decide to live a beautiful life, we’re going do something incredible, then all of a sudden when you know what you’re trying to accomplish, when you have a specific vision for what you’re trying to make of this world, why it’s beautiful to you, and why it’s worth all the fight, all of a sudden you become incredibly resourceful, and that purpose, having a sense of significance and meaning in your life, for whatever reason we’re hardwired to find real fulfillment in that." - Tom Bilyeu

Listener Favorites: Cal Newport | Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

Fri, 18 Sep 2020 07:00:06 GMT

"So even if you say “I’m not trying to do deep work now. I”m in line at the supermarket. I’m bored let me look at something.” That actually affects your deep work the next morning or the next day when you actually want to do it. There’s this whole notion of passive training where you basically are embracing boredom. You give your mind plenty of practice in actually resisting the urge for distraction, being bored, and being present. That actually has the same sort of ramifications on your ability to focus down the line, just like smoking having to do with cardio vascular fitness. If you’re smoking outside of your practice as a professional athlete, when you get to your actual game you’re going to struggle. If your attention is constantly shifting towards things that are novel and interesting, if you can’t tolerate boredom, it’s going to be hard when it becomes time for you to focus to actually do it." - Cal Newport

"When you watch Ahmad Aubrey being shot and you hear that those men have been released and were it not for the video and the outrage, those people would be living their lives, what part of the contract is that in society? When you see George Floyd on the ground, and you see a man losing his life in a way that no person should ever have to lose their life at the hands of someone who is supposed to enforce the law, what part of the contract is that? A lot of people say, well, what good does this do? Yeah, but what good doesn't it do? That's the question people don't ask the other way around. What good does it do to loot Target? How does it help you to loot Target? Yeah but how does it help you to not loot Target? Answer that question." - Trevor Noah

36 Questions and The Mystery of Love

Fri, 31 Jul 2020 07:00:00 GMT

What is it that makes people fall in love? It's one of the greatest mysteries of being human. I walked into the bookstore here in Colorado and stumbled upon Mandy Len Catron's memoir, How to Fall In Love with Anyone by Asking Them 36 Questions, and I couldn't help but wonder if these questions really could make you fall in love with anyone. My roommate, Matt, and his now girlfriend, Laura, volunteered to ask each other these questions to find out if this might just lead to a deeper connection and take us closer to solving the mystery of love.

Listener Favorites | Anders Ericsson: Mastering Your Craft Through Deliberate Practice

Fri, 10 Jul 2020 07:00:29 GMT

In this episode of Unmistakable Creative, we delve into the mind of Anders Ericsson, a globally recognized psychologist and professor at Florida State University. Known for his groundbreaking research on the psychological nature of expertise and human performance, Ericsson introduces us to the concept of 'deliberate practice.' This method, he argues, is the key to achieving superior performance in any field, be it music, chess, medicine, or sports.

Ericsson's work challenges the notion that 'practice makes perfect,' asserting that the quality of the practice is far more important than the quantity. He emphasizes that practice must be deliberate and focused rather than mindless repetition. This episode explores how to apply deliberate practice not only to technical fields and artistic pursuits but also to our everyday work lives.

Listeners will gain insights into how expert performers acquire their superior skills and how they can apply these principles to their own lives. Whether you're an aspiring musician, a budding chess player, or a professional seeking to excel in your field, Ericsson's insights will provide you with the tools to master your craft through deliberate practice.

Fri, 15 May 2020 07:00:00 GMT

Often I will ask people “do you want to live an exceptional life?” And most people will say yes. But an exception by definition is low probability. If you want to live a normative life you’ll be in the middle of the bell curve. But if you want an exceptional life it’s going to be low probability. Anyone who wants an amazing life is probably going to go for a low probability life, which means you have to activate some sense of possibility. You ask yourself what is the possibility of doing something? Rather than saying “how do I recover from this trauma or how do I recover from this grief” you ask yourself “what do people who recover from these situations amazingly do? There what you’re looking for is the exception... The very first principle is think like the exception and not like the rule. - Srini Pillay

Dr. Srini Pillay is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry (Part-Time) at Harvard Medical School. He is known for combining “head and heart” (figuratively and literally) in an approach to personal development and goal mastery that blends science, spirituality, and horns-grabbing joie de vivre to combat the stresses faced by ambitious and high-achieving people in academia, business, and life.

Listener Favorites: Tamsen Webster: Telling Powerful Stories in a Short Amount of Time

Fri, 17 Jan 2020 07:00:00 GMT

I believe there is a universal filter, and a universal story that we’re all seeking to understand. And I call it the red thread. It’s a phrase borrowed from Scandinavian countries where they used to say “What is the thing that ties all this together? What’s the theme? What’s the message? What’s the through line?” And we all want that. What I’ve discovered is that we all have that. Every organization, every person, every idea has this thing that makes it make sense. But how we make it make sense is fascinating. The best way to think about it is as Mad Libs. When we are trying to make sense of a situation or we’re trying to make sense of what someone is asking us to do, or if we’re in the position of “how do I tell this story in such a way that moves people”? The pattern of that story is universal, like a pre-written mad libs story. But where it becomes unique, where the power is, not only for us to understand what our own red thread is, but as we’re trying to explain things to other people…we don’t have to figure out the whole story. All we have to figure is how we fill in the blanks. – Tamsen Webster

Tamsen Webster is an acclaimed keynote speaker, “idea whisperer,” and change strategist. She combined 20 years in marketing with 13 years as a Weight Watchers leader into a simple structure for understanding, talking about, and creating lasting change. She’s the Executive Producer of the oldest and one of the largest locally organized TED talk events in the world, and an in-demand consultant on finding the ideas that move people to action.

Allison Schrager: An Economist’s Guide to The Psychology of Risk

Wed, 30 Oct 2019 07:00:30 GMT

Today, we're thrilled to share our conversation with Alison Schraeger, an esteemed economist, journalist, and author. In this episode, Allison delves into the complex world of risk, decision-making, and the unpredictable nature of human behavior.

Allison Schraeger is a thought leader in the fields of economics and finance. In this episode, she shares her wisdom on the concepts of idiosyncratic and systematic risk. She discusses how these types of risks impact our daily lives, from the decisions we make in our jobs to the investments we make for our future.

Allison's insights extend beyond the realm of economics. She explores the role of emotions in decision-making, challenging the notion that decisions should be devoid of emotions. Instead, she argues, emotions are an integral part of the decision-making process, influencing our perceptions and actions.

One of the key themes of this episode is the importance of learning from our mistakes. Alison shares her own experiences of risk-taking, highlighting the value of repeated experiences in improving our risk-taking abilities. She encourages listeners to embrace their mistakes, learn from them, and use them as stepping stones towards better decision-making.

This episode also delves into the impact of perceived probability on our behavior. Alison discusses how our perceptions of probability can influence our actions, often leading us to take risks that we might otherwise avoid. She provides practical advice on how to navigate these perceptions and make more informed decisions.

Join us in this enlightening conversation with Allison Schraeger and learn how to better understand and manage risk in your own life. You can find the Unmistakable Creative Podcast on all major podcast platforms. Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review!

But despite early success in the corporate world, his first attempt to pursue his entrepreneurial dream ended in rejection. Jia was crushed, and spiraled into a period of deep self doubt. But he realized that his fear of rejection was a bigger obstacle than any single rejection would ever be, and he needed to find a way to cope with being told no without letting it destroy him. Thus was born his “100 days of rejection” experiment, during which he willfully sought rejection on a daily basis–from requesting a lesson in sales from a car salesman (no) to asking a flight attendant if he could make an announcement on the loud speaker (yes) to his famous request to get Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the shape of Olympic rings.

Best of: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World with Cal Newport

Fri, 19 Jul 2019 07:00:40 GMT

“So even if you say “I’m not trying to do deep work now. I”m in line at the supermarket. I’m bored let me look at something.” That actually affects your deep work the next morning or the next day when you actually want to do it. There’s this whole notion of passive training where you basically are embracing boredom. You give your mind plenty of practice in actually resisting the urge for distraction, being bored, and being present. That actually has the same sort of ramifications on your ability to focus down the line, just like smoking having to do with cardio vascular fitness. If you’re smoking outside of your practice as a professional athlete, when you get to your actual game you’re going to struggle. If your attention is constantly shifting towards things that are novel and interesting, if you can’t tolerate boredom, it’s going to be hard when it becomes time for you to focus to actually do it.” – Cal Newport

Best of: The Inevitable Forces That Will Shape Our Future with Kevin Kelly

Fri, 25 Jan 2019 08:00:07 GMT

I truly do believe that this is both the very best time in the history of the universe, as far as we can tell, to make something because the tools for creation have never been more easily gotten, they’ve never been cheaper. They’ve never been better. They’ve never been as diverse. And they truly make things more accessible. So if you want to make something that has been made already like a book, a movie, a song, the tools do that are just about free, which means almost anybody in the world can get their hands on it. And many of these things in previous generations were prohibitively expensive and relegated to the elites. But now you can make a book that looks as good as a best-selling author can make, and you can distribute it, and it costs very little do…We are at a moment right now in terms of what’s ahead of us, that it’s a very rapidly expanding opening. We’re on the cusp of all these very transformative technologies and trends that will produce more stuff and opportunities in the next 50 years than in the past 50 years as much as that’s hard to believe. – Kevin Kelly

Best of: The Science of Succeeding with People with Vanessa Van Edwards

Fri, 11 Jan 2019 08:00:24 GMT

“We like winners. We like to be around winners. We like to work with winners. We like to be friends with winners. That is because we know unconsciously that could activate our feedback loop to win. University of British Columbia did a research study on athletes. They studied athletes around the world. They also studied athletes who’d been blind since birth. They found that across races and genders athletes have the exact same body language when they win or lose a race. Pride body language very specifically is when people take up as much space as possible. They tilt their head up towards the sky. They open their arms wide. They’ll jump up into the air or firmly plant their feet. It’s as if they’re saying “I feel good in the world so I want to take up more space in it.” Whereas defeated athletes, this is the body language of losing and shame, is when they take up as little space as possible. They roll their shoulders in. They tilt their heads towards their chest. They usually will grip their hands in a fist or clenched fashion. They even will stand or sit in fetal position. This is the universal gesture of shame. What happens is when we first see someone, in that first few seconds, we’re very quickly trying to decided “who do you look more like a winner or a loser?” We can pick up how prideful someone feels based on how much space they’re taking up and how much movement they have”- Vanessa Van Edwards

Best of: Lessons Learned from 100 Days of Rejection with Jia Jiang

Fri, 29 Jun 2018 11:28:06 GMT

Jia Jiang came to the United States with the dream of being the next Bill Gates. But despite early success in the corporate world, his first attempt to pursue his entrepreneurial dream ended in rejection. Jia was crushed, and spiraled into a period of deep self doubt. But he realized that his fear of rejection was a bigger obstacle than any single rejection would ever be, and he needed to find a way to cope with being told no without letting it destroy him. Thus was born his “100 days of rejection” experiment, during which he willfully sought rejection on a daily basis–from requesting a lesson in sales from a car salesman (no) to asking a flight attendant if he could make an announcement on the loud speaker (yes) to his famous request to get Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the shape of Olympic rings.

Scott Norton: Building a Purpose Driven Business

Wed, 24 May 2017 00:00:00 GMT

I think if you take the hero’s journey or just the story arc of beginning, middle, end, protagonist and antagonist and you position what you have to share in this framework, it naturally will resonate with people. It will become more memorable. It will deeply impact them. Crucially in today’s society, it will become more likely that they can advocate for that story and tell that truth to someone else. As traditional media breaks down, and the one to one approach of the TV industrial complex begins to lose its efficacy, word of mouth and oral tradition has come back in a huge way in society. I think that telling the truth well, through the storytelling arc is crucial if you want to build a business and if you want to help people understand reality as you see it. – Scott Norton

Graham Hill: The Profound Power of Living Small

Wed, 17 May 2017 00:00:00 GMT

The easiest way to go green is to just start by going smaller. Just realize, that particularly in the US there’s this real phenomenon. We’ve over the last 60 years supersized ourselves in this crazy way. 1000 square feet was the average housing size back in the 50’s. Now it’s like 2700 with smaller families. We have three times the space per person that we used to. – Graham Hill

Perception which is the deepest driver in human nature automatically influences our emotion and motivations.

But when we can get into the perceptions that automatically influence the motivations change is much easier. – Erik Van Alstine

Angie Thurston: Redifining Religion

Wed, 10 May 2017 00:00:00 GMT

What you illustrated with your frustration at a service in a religious context is that it’s not doing the job it’s supposed to do in your life. We come at this whole question from the perspective that religion is really about the tools that we use to make meaning of our lives and help us live flourishing lives. That means all sorts of things. It means giving you a sense of connection to other people around you, to your deepest self, to the natural world the moments of transcendence or the experiences that some people might call God, to a sense of time to history. Really it helps you find a place in the world, it gives you a sense of who you are. A ritual, a set of words, chant, or song, all the tools or religion were right at one point in time. To be honest, someone could still sit in that service and find something. But it’s not working for you, and you’re not alone in that question. The fastest growing religious group in the US is “none of the above.” – Angie Thurston

Srini Pillay: The Power of the Unfocused Mind

Wed, 03 May 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Often I will ask people “do you want to live an exceptional life?” And most people will say yes. But an exception by definition is low probability. If you want to live a normative life you’ll be in the middle of the bell curve. But if you want an exceptional life it’s going to be low probability. Anyone who wants an amazing life is probably going to go for a low probability life, which means you have to activate some sense of possibility. You ask yourself what is the possibility of doing something? Rather than saying “how do I recover from this trauma or how do I recover from this grief” you ask yourself “what do people who recover from these situations amazingly do? There what you’re looking for is the exception.. The very first principle is think like the exception and not like the rule. – Srini Pillay

For any listening who is thinking about starting a business, thinking about doing something on their own because instagram told you to or because you feel like it’s going to be easier, just know that you can’t have all the good stuff of entrepreneurship without the bad stuff too. It’s just not possible. It’s just like life. A lot of people are looking at entrepreneurship and saying “I want this result. I want a million dollars. And I’m very ambitious.” The link between those things is entrepreneurship. They’re thinking that they have to become entrepreneurs because they want to make money. That’s not the only way to make money and it’s certainly not the easiest way to make money. You have to be able to do all the stuff that nobody talks about if you want to be an entrepreneur.

Charlie Hoehn: When Work Becomes Play

Wed, 26 Apr 2017 00:00:00 GMT

There’s this underlying current with everybody that you need to justify your existence with these major accomplishments. You need to show everybody else that you’re doing it right. But really, you were just given this life. None of us asked for this. This was all a gift. So it’s crazy to fall into these rhythms where we think “that’s what I need to be doing.” Rather than reflect on, what are the moments that brought me joy where no one was grading me, no one was forcing me to do the activity, I was just doing what I wanted to do. What were those things that you did as a kid, those activities where you were just left to your own devices, you were on your leisure time, you weren’t in school, no one was directing you or instructing you to do anything. What were the activities that you were repeatedly and voluntarily turning to because that’s really your Northstar. – Charlie Hoehn

When you look at the IEP method there’s 3 parts to it. The first thing is the ability to reboot your presence in the moment no matter what’s going on. This is something that’s happening all the time. Let’s just say one of us check out or I’ve got to regroup to think about your question and I find myself going in my head to find the answer, I still have to reboot, come back, and be fully present with you again. That part of is presence, being able to be present in the moment is happening over and over again. I find that the more you practice it, it’s like a muscle, the stronger it gets. The second part is the ability to create intentional impact which is a huge piece. The idea is that we’re always creating impact. If I go out on stage, our interaction here, if I’m working with a team, if I’m working with my kids, if I’m having a conversation with my partner, I’m always creating impact. And the impact is either going to move us forward move us forward be positive or it’s going to maybe move us back, and create little bit more of a mess, or be kind of beige and who wants beige?

Frank Ostaseski: A Glimpse Into Mortality

Wed, 12 Apr 2017 00:00:00 GMT

We spend all this time imagining we’re going to get ready for our dying. And I think it’s kind of an absurd idea, to imagine that at the time of our dying that we will have the strength of body, the emotional stability, and the mental clarity to do the work of a lifetime. It’s an absurd gamble. We should do this work now and that includes those of us who are not dying. Our aging parents for example. Be with them now. Tell them you love them now. Waiting is full of expectation. Waiting for the next moment to arrive we miss this one. Waiting for the moment of dying we miss all the moments in between. Hold death out there. Shine a light on it. Hold it out there as a way of reminding you to attend to what most matters.

Danielle Laporte: White Hot Truth

Mon, 10 Apr 2017 00:00:00 GMT

It started to dawn on me that I was actually really tired of trying to be better, that all the things I was doing weren’t necessarily making me stronger. There was a lot of dependency on external input, what I call the paraphernalia of the new age. And it wasn’t hard to see this. But it wasn’t just me that was feeling that way. It was really me and all my girlfriends. Every time I get off stage the women would come up to me and I’d hear the same things. Basically, we’re really tired.

It started to dawn on me that I was actually really tired of trying to be better, that all the things I was doing weren’t necessarily making me stronger. There was a lot of dependency on external input, what I call the paraphernalia of the new age. And it wasn’t hard to see this. But it wasn’t just me that was feeling that way. It was really me and all my girlfriends. Every time I get off stage the women would come up to me and I’d hear the same things. Basically, we’re really tired. And this is not the point, further fatigue, berating yourself. I’m pretty sure that this is not the point of walking the spiritual path. – Danielle Laporte

Jordan Harbinger: Exploring Social Dynamics

Wed, 05 Apr 2017 00:00:00 GMT
There are influencers in your office. There are influencers in every social circle, entrepreneur circle. We just don’t think of it as such because it’s bit depressing to think of it that way. But there’s a lot to be said for these influencers and decision makers. It’s not just the person with the highest status. At work you might have an influencer that’s not a manager, or not your manager. It’s never going to be the person with the lowest status…. You see that in most offices. Very rarely is it the boss in fact it’s usually not.

Larry Robertson: Speaking the Language of Creativity

Mon, 03 Apr 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Here’s the mistake that we all make when we look at creativity. We begin with the output. It might be an incredibly painting. It could be a fantastic piece of technology. IT could be a way in which we run a business or advise clients. We tend to look at that output and say “Oh my gosh what a brilliant idea she had to come up with that. Isn’t she creative? How do we do that?” The thing is that none of us want to do that. Nobody wants to reinvent the iPhone. Nobody wants to reinvent Uber. We certainly appreciate the value that such things have created for us. And we’d like to create something that adds value and has a significant impact. But we don’t want to create the same thing. If any of us are honest with ourselves we’ll acknowledge that is true. The difference is when you start to look at creativity from the front end. What is it that leads certain people have what appears be more creative ideas than the rest of us.

Larry Robertson is a border crosser. The roles he has played over the course of his career have been and continue to be diverse – innovation advisor, entrepreneur, researcher, educator, business leader, and award-winning author.

Tim Collins: Overcoming Anxiety

Wed, 29 Mar 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Being extremely hard on ourselves is very common in the very high stress and anxiety space because that’s kind of what got us there in the first place. Now, I love using the word curiosity. So when I get into these instances, I go to a curious place and say “Is this necessary? Does it really impact other people? The people that are impacted, do I really care what they think?” So much of our struggle in life is caring massive about what other people think of us. The reality is that there are only handful of people in the world that can affect my emotions in terms of what I think. Catering to everybody else is to my own detriment.

In the midst of overwhelming anxiety, Tim Collins left his 6 figure salary and job as a VP of Sales to lean into his anxiety and in the process overcome it.

Khe Hy: Unwinding Cultural Narratives

Tue, 21 Mar 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Whenever you get to that point, whether it’s a promotion, whether it’s a bonus, yes it feels good for a couple minutes. You realize the fleeting nature of external achievement. Don’t get me wrong having more money is a good thing. It makes life easier. But the marginal utility of an extra dollar flatlines at about 85,000 dollars. It’s not the millions and billions of dollars that bring that shift in happiness.

Khe Hy is the creator of Rad Reads, a spiritual guide to Wall Street executives and has been called “Oprah for Millennials.”

Tamsen Webster: Telling Powerful Stories in a Short Amount of Time

Mon, 20 Mar 2017 00:00:00 GMT

I believe there is a universal filter, and a universal story that we’re all seeking to understand. And I call it the red thread. It’s a phrase borrowed from Scandinavian countries where they used to say “What is the thing that ties all this together? What’s the theme? What’s the message? What’s the through line?” And we all want that. What I’ve discovered is that we all have that. Every organization, every person, every idea has this thing that makes it make sense. But how we make it make sense is fascinating. The best way to think about it is as Mad Libs. When we are trying to make sense of a situation or we’re trying to make sense of what someone is asking us to do, or if we’re in the position of “how do I tell this story in such a way that moves people”? The pattern of that story is universal, like a pre-written mad libs story. But where it becomes unique, where the power is, not only for us to understand what our own red thread is, but as we’re trying to explain things to other people…we don’t have to figure out the whole story. All we have to figure is how we fill in the blanks. – Tamsen Webster

Amy Blankson: The Future of Happiness

Mon, 13 Mar 2017 00:00:00 GMT

The question is not whether technology is good or bad for us. I think that might have been the question a few years ago. But now technology is part of our lives, so I think the better question is what do we do with it? As William Shakespeare once said, “there’s nothing good or bad, but thinking it makes it so.” I think positive psychology has some really important lessons for us and what that means in terms of how we use technology, specifically what I call the how, what, where, and why of using technology in our lives. – Amy Blankson

Joe Cross: Reboot Your Health

Wed, 08 Mar 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Without plants, we wouldn’t be here. They were here first, we came later. There’s this magical beautiful dance of cooperation, love, and friendship between humanity and plants. If you think about where we got our warmth from, it was from burning logs, during a plant. When we needed shelter we could use plants to create huts and shelter. In the evening they take our CO2 that we pump our during the day and give us Oxygen. You’ve got a beautiful dance of breath there. Apart from many other things, the biggest thing they’ve done is give us nourishment, and provided us with the energy, micronutrients, enzymes, vitamins and minerals that our cellular level of our makeup desires and needs to perform at its best. – Joe Cross

Leveraging Physiology for Human Performance with Greg Wells

If there’s one thing that I could pick that would determine whether or not would reach peak performance, and this after going to 3 Olympics as a media person and working with a couple hundred Olympians, and a dozen expeditions around the world to do crazy stuff… One thing that I would say determines your failure or success in a critical moment of performance is whether or not you’re focused. If you are on task, you have no distractions, doing what you need to be doing and what you’re doing is related to the performance itself you’re going to be fine.

Failing Your Way to Success with Beate Chelette

Mon, 20 Feb 2017 00:00:00 GMT

We are remembered by how other people remember us. We live only through the memories of the people who we touched. So if we didn’t touch anybody, but we have a really big bank account, we’re not really remembered. But if we are remembered, people say “When I listened to what you said, when I saw what you created, when I read what you wrote, when I got my treatment from you, this is how you made me feel” and I’ve created an emotional with you, and this emotion is creativity. Creativity evokes emotion. In this creativity, in this emotion, within it lies a sort of eternity. – Beate Chelette

Courtney Carver: How to be More with Less

Wed, 15 Feb 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Your physical surroundings impact you in ways you might not even realize. They did for me. My clutter, my closet, all of that stuff was just this constant reminder of my debt and discontent. When it was gone, the guilt went with it. The frustration or sadness, and all the emotion I had wrapped up in my stuff, that went out the door with my stuff. It just was this felt like an almost immediate solution. Then we were crazy about it and decluttering to the point where we had empty rooms in our house. And finally we had too much house and sold the house and downsized into an apartment less than half the size of our house. And now we’re just vigilant about the stuff that we bring in because we know how destructive it can be. – Courtney Carver

Live Your Startup Dream Without Quitting Your Day Job with Patrick Mcginnis

Mon, 13 Feb 2017 00:00:00 GMT

I was not raised to think like an owner. You had a 401k or something but there was none of the ownership thing. I didn’t really think about that until I didn’t have ownership. But what I realized when I was freelancing is that you’re on a treadmill. I think so many people miss the boat on that. If people are going to create stability for themselves in the long run, they need to own something. – Patrick Mcginnis

Finding Your Zone of Genius and Exceeding Your Personal Limitations with Gay Hendricks

Wed, 08 Feb 2017 00:00:00 GMT

What’s really important here? How am I using my gifts? What is my genius and how can I bring it forth to bare on my family and my culture and my business? Those genius questions are things that we need to cultivate in ourselves almost as a matter of discipline. It may sound odd to think of disincline as taking some time each day to tune into what you’re really all about. But in a way it’s just as valuable as going to the gym for an hour. Many people have the discipline to go to the gym for a while, but I’ve had it be so much harder for busy business executives, particularly to gift themselves with that 10 minutes of deep reflection. That’s all I ask people to start with is 10 minutes. I ask them to sit there with me for 10 minutes and simply tune into their breathing. Everything else, we put aside and create 10 minutes to focus on breathing. Then we might contemplate one question like “what is that I most love about what I do in my work?” – Gay Hendricks

Tue, 07 Feb 2017 00:00:00 GMT

For each one of us, there’s something we’re meant to be doing in this world. But if w’ere not in an environment that allows us to explore that, we’re going to be cookie cutter. We don’t need 10 of me or 10 of you, we need 1 of me and 1 of you, and 1 of everybody else around us. Collectively, that’s how we do all of the things that are amazing, and hopefully save this world and make this world a better place. Education, especially a university environment plays a role almost like a lab. There are different pathways. There are people who are very clear on what they want to do like being a teacher, doctor, or lawyer. But then there’s a huge group of people who have no idea. That’s where entrepreneurs, artists and people who are creative come in. That really allows different things to show up. And if there isn’t an environment that allows that, it’s going to be really black and white and boring. – Christine Lai

Turning Your Work into the Performance of a Lifetime With Cathy Salit

One of the things that is key to the success of children and I’d say anyone is to be related to. Part of what makes it possible for children to learn, grow and develop is that they are related to as people who can learn, grown, and develop. If you are not related to as a learner, but instead are related to as a loser, a fuckup, as somebody who is not going got go anywhere because of ABCDEFG, that is so much a part of why it is kids don’t succeed and they can’t learn. – Cathy Salit

The Neuroscience of Goals with Srini Pillay

Wed, 25 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT

In terms of goals, there’s simple cognition and there’s complex cognition. Simple cognition is “I need to go get some bread” or “I need to visit somebody who lives on particular street.” That’s pretty direct. It’s easier to get to that goal. You know where you’re going, you know how to get there and you use simple cognition to get there. But when you say “I want to make an extra 100,000 dollars” or “I want to fall in love” or “I want to enhance my state of happiness” or “I want to find the job that I truly love.” Those are more abstract goals and involve what we call complex cognition. And complex cognition involves more than just following some sort of formula. It really relies heavily on your own sense of ingenuity. – Srini Pillay

Building Systems for Creativity and Magic with Sebastian Marshall

Mon, 23 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT

I think the eventual target you want to hit is at least 2 hours of most important maker work. Everybody I know who does 4 hours of whatever’s most important every single day is very successful. Sometimes your wrong, you go down a rabbit hole, and it doesn’t work. That’s fine. It’s part of the game. As long you as do 10 minutes, you’ve got a placeholder in your life, and things keep moving forward. It’s when you take 2 weeks off, suddenly things get dusty, you don’t remember what you’re going to do. People get busy, forget what’s important and then don’t get what they want. – Sebastian Marshall

The Business of Belief with Tom Asacker

Belief is what drives people’s decisions. This has to do with people’s desires. Their desires drive their beliefs and their beliefs drive their actions, period. It’s as simple as that and it’s as complex as that that because people are unaware of this. We are being pushed and pulled by our environment. We’re just trying to make it through the day: have a decent day, have nothing go wrong, and at the end of the day flip on Netflix. That’s what’s going on in the marketplace. When you get somebody to adopt what you do, you’re getting somebody to switch one belief for another belief and then going back on autopilot. – Tom Asacker

Start Where You Are With Samantha Bennett

Mon, 16 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT

You are always getting paid. And you are always getting paid in the currency you are asking for. So maybe the currency you’re asking for is “likes” on Facebook. Or maybe the currency you’re asking for a is a lot of compliments from your friends. Or maybe the currency you’re asking for is neglect. For a long time myself esteem was so slow that it really mattered to me that Iw work hard and kind of have nobody notice. That kind of worked for me in a weird way. When I started the organized artists company, I had this wonderful list of people who were really responsive and they’d write back and they would click and like, but they never bought anything. And finally I realized that the problem was me because I was more invested in their affection than I was in making a living. And the minute I decided “I think it’s possible for me to have their affection and make a living”, I tripled my income. – Samantha Bennett

The Power of Being Fully Engaged with Tom Sterner

Mon, 09 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT

We really have a problem with something that is We have so much on our plate and so many things going that we want closure. We want the report done. We want the kids picked up. We want the house cleaned.Whatever it is we want it done because that way we can take it off our plate and we’ll have one last thing we have to contend with. That’s why something like meditation is difficult for people because they feel like “when will I get done with this, when am I good at it?” When you say “it’s just something you do forever, that’s a very difficult concept and it’s an uncomfortable concept until you begin to see the benefits of it. When you begin to see the benefits of it and how it impacts your life and your self power, then that starts to dissolve and you start say “I get this.

“Work is where we spend most of our time. And it’s where I think so much learning happens. It’s often where people are exposed to difference in a way that they’re not in their personal lives. We’ve got to work on global teams. We have to work with multiple nationalities. We have to figure out how to lead virtually without ever sitting in front of somebody physically. So we have to get really good at noticing and valuing diversity in all of its forms, and then being inclusive leaders. I think we’re a long way off from that. I’m trying to help corporate America specifically try to tell their story differently and prioritize diversity and inclusion as value that’s going to resonate with incoming talent. But I want them to walk the talk. I don’t want them to just use it as a marketing slogan. I want them to do the hard work which is the internal work in their culture. It’s really easy to buy your way on to lists and get awards and control the optics of the story on the outside. But the harder work and more valuable work is “what are we going to be about as a culture?” I think the role of leaders in setting that framework is really important. They have a huge platform they can use. Yet I find most are scared of it or don’t know what to say about it. They just let it go. And it’s a missed opportunity because people are hearing that as “I don’t matter.” Something is happening in their life that’s huge and their expected to come into work and deny it. That’s kind of the core of what we need to solve for.” – Jennifer Brown

The Profound Power of Personal Commitment with Kamal Ravikant

Mon, 02 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT

If we make a practice in our lives, like going to the gym or eating healthy, if you want to lose weight and be fit, or you want to be chiseled, you’ve got to make a practice. It’s a daily practice. You can’t go to the gym for a week and eat cake for 30 days nonstop and say “hey what happened? I was getting in shape.”
Whether you’re feeling bad or feeling good, that doesn’t matter. It’s just your practice, like when you wake up and when you go to sleep. There are certain things you do. It’s a fundamental practice. Just like you talk about with writing. It’s a practice. Then you hit the flow state. Same thing in life. You make it a practice. Life hits a flow state.
Things in life happen. People die. Nothing we can do to stop that. People we love die. Things happen. When we hit that flow state we bounce back much faster. The things that used to bring us down don’t bring us down like before. Then it’s only the real tragedies in life that bring us down. When a loved one dies, it’s a real tragedy and that should bring you down. It’s good to have loved someone that way and feel the loss. But the other stuff, the other garbage, the 99 percent of the stuff that brings us down that doesn’t matter lessens and its power over us lessens. So, I would say to someone who is either down or up, what matters is a fundamental daily practice of working on your inner self that keeps you in your personal flow. – Kamal Ravikant

Why 96 Percent of Personal Development Efforts Fail

Sun, 01 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT

When the New Year starts, we’re all thinking about the changes we want to make and the goals we want to accomplish. But after the first 3-4 weeks, the excitement wears off and we find ourselves right back where where we started or in some cases in an even worse position. 96 of personal development efforts fail because people attempt to do life by default instead of by design.

Best of 2016: The 9 Environments that Make Up Your Life With Jim Bunch

Wed, 28 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Every environment is connected. You can’t change one environment and not have it change another. If you improve one environment it will send a ripple effect through the other environments. If you improve your physical body as an environment, what happens to your self image? It improves. Once your self image improves, what happens to your networks? Your network improve because you quit hanging out with the people that are bringing you down. What happens when your network improves? Your net worth is related to your network. And your financial environment can start to improve. The quality of people you’re hanging out with is better. Your confidence is up. Your strengths, gifts, and talents are up. Your physical health is up so you have more energy to commit to your vision, mission and passion. – Jim Bunch

Best of 2016: Conversations We’re Afraid to Have with Jerry Colonna

Mon, 26 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT

The “you’re an imposter” mantra is beautiful oft repeated phrase from one’s inner critic. But there are a lot of other phrases the inner critic uses, so it’s kind of a subset of this self loathing that goes on. You correctly linked it to the kind of merging of sense of self and self worth with work. But I would argue that it’s even deeper. It’s merging a sense of self and self worth with almost anything that’s extrinsic to this meatball called me. One of the more profound teachings from Buddhism goes like this: you are lovable, you are worthy. Not because of anything you’ve done, but simply because you exist. – Jerry Colonna

Best of 2016: Keys to Exponential Personal and Professional Growth With Salim Ismail

Wed, 21 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT

You have your body which is your hardware. And then you have the external world. At an early age you develop the software or operating system to interact between the hardware and the external world. The operating system is formed during the first 7 years. This is why the Jesuits say “give me the child until the age of 7 and I’ll give you the man. So that early education: did you get bullied, how did you respond, how do you navigate playground dynamics, how do you deal with parental stress or family trauma.. You kind of form this operating system. Then we become adults in we start running applications on it: career, love life, sports, money, finance. And the applications start crashing. We blame the application. But we never go back to rewrite the operating system. In a newer world that we live in today that is infinitely more complex, we need to rewrite our basic operating system. Old tools for that worked when you had a lifetime. But the world is moving too quickly now for somebody to take 10 years to meditate to get to some level of transformation. – Salim Ismail

Best of 2016: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World with Cal Newport

Mon, 05 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT

“So even if you say “I’m not trying to do deep work now. I”m in line at the supermarket. I’m bored let me look at something.” That actually affects your deep work the next morning or the next day when you actually want to do it. There’s this whole notion of passive training where you basically are embracing boredom. You give your mind plenty of practice in actually resisting the urge for distraction, being bored, and being present. That actually has the same sort of ramifications on your ability to focus down the line, just like smoking having to do with cardio vascular fitness. If you’re smoking outside of your practice as a professional athlete, when you get to your actual game you’re going to struggle. If your attention is constantly shifting towards things that are novel and interesting, if you can’t tolerate boredom, it’s going to be hard when it becomes time for you to focus to actually do it.” – Cal Newport

The Power of Doing Things That Might Not Work with Nathan Chan

Wed, 30 Nov 2016 00:00:00 GMT

If somebody wants to change their current situation, one of my favorite quotes is “if you’ve always do what you’ve always done, you always get what you’ve always got.” An that’s from Tony Robbins. You just kind have to try and shake things up and kind of step outside your comfort zone. I know might seem easy looking at it from the outside. But it’s certainly not. You just have to find a way to shake things up. That’s all you can do. And you have to take personal responsibility for where you are at this point in time right now because once you accept responsibility and own your shit, that gives you an opportunity to change that. – Nathan Chan

Lead Sell and Innovate Using Your Visual Mind with Dan Roam

Mon, 28 Nov 2016 00:00:00 GMT

I want to disabuse everyone who is listening to this that you need to be artistic to be able to draw. You don’t. You don’t need even need to be creative. Drawing is not an artistic process, not in the way I’m talking about it. Drawing is a thinking process. And once you get to that point you realize that “I don’t care if you’re drawing looks like the thing that you’re trying to draw. Say that you’re trying to draw a picture of your car and I say “that doesn’t look like a car, that’s a terrible drawing.” If I can get the idea that there are two circles that represent wheels and a box sitting on top of them, if it’s close enough to me for a car for me to say “that’s a car”, that’s all I care about. What I’m interested in is what is the idea of what you’re trying to convey. Not the specifics of does it look exactly like that. – Dan Roam

The Richer Life Found in Helping Others with John Certalic

Wed, 23 Nov 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Every behavior has a payoff. I find myself asking “what’s the payoff in behaving the way that I am?” And if Im letting my past control me, there’s a part of me that gives permission to living as a victim, to the point where I’m less responsible. It’s easier to live as a victim then it is to live as a fully empowered agent of someone who can change and create the life that they want to live. When we live as a victim we can have excuses. We can have excuses for why we don’t certain things, virtuous things, because we have this bad past. So I start with, what’s the pay off? Do we want to be a victim or do we want to live a richer life.? – John Certalic

What’s the strength of what we have to offer? Is it reliability? Is it price? Is it comfort? Is it stability? Is it durability? What is it? Then, we go the moment before deliver that message and bring people’s attention to that concept whatever it is. That will make them receptive to the strength of our message – Robert Cialdini

Getting Your Creative Ideas Out Into The World with Peter Himmelman

“What are you telling me that can help me own life? In some ways that comes down to a beautiful axiom about living, which is: What exactly are you doing on the planet? What are you doing for other people? how are you being generous with your resources, skills, and experiences? For me, when I see people lit up by things I talk about, like the music that I play, and they go off and do things by themselves, and it inspires them, that to me gives me goosebumps. It’s the most beautiful thing like a flame. You can extinguish it, but it can also be infinitely renewable by lighting up other people” – Peter Himmelman

The Middleman Economy by Marina Krakovsky

Wed, 02 Nov 2016 00:00:00 GMT

The way I started thinking about middlemen initially was this very simple definition: the person who connects buyers and sellers in a marketplace. In my reporting I actually came across a more expansive and smarter definition. This came from a VC in the valley named Mike Maples. And he says “a middleman in a network is that node in a network that connects other nodes to increase the value of the network.” That’s looking at it from a more positive view and it’s obviously a network view. It’s really looking at the value of the person who is making those connections because not all middlemen can create value or can increase the value of the network. Even if they do they don’t necessarily help both parties enough to justify their cost. I really like that positive angle. Also, it’s so expansive that it goes beyond buyers and sellers. If I know somebody who I think you should meet, I can make that introduction. I’m a middleman who has improved the value of my network by making both people hopefully better off. – Marina Krakovsky

Inside the Psychology of Cults with Bob Gower

Mon, 31 Oct 2016 00:00:00 GMT

In classic cult psychology or cult literature, there’s really two characteristics to a cult. First is that it’s ideologically intense and of course that can describe a lot of organizations. Everything from say something like the Landmark forum to the United States of America. We have an ideology that sits behind the organization. In order to be a part of the US government you have to adopt a certain kind of ideology. There’s this idea that we have an ideology. And cults for that reason pray on people like myself who really want to make the world a better place, want to change the world or feel dissatisfied in some way. There can be political cults. There are quite a few of those out there. There can be spiritual cults. There can be even commercial cults. Real estate is apparently a really common place right now where you find people who are learning how to flip houses and do all this stuff. And they began to develop these really intense ideology around how they approach the world and how they see the world. – Bob Gower

How Great Organizations do Ordinary Things in Extraordinary Ways with Bill Taylor

Wed, 26 Oct 2016 00:00:00 GMT

I’ve become absolutely convinced, when we look at how innovation happens inside organizations or how individuals come up with interesting ideas, where such powerful insights come from the most unexpected places. And the way leaders increase the chances for those insights or innovations to happen is when they can put lots and lots of people from lots of different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives together. And develop this architecture of participation where people who wouldn’t otherwise be talking or otherwise wouldn’t be on a project team, people who otherwise wouldn’t be in the same room are in fact in the same room. It’s amazing the kind of insights that can pop out. I think that way of going through life is a much more enriching and rewarding way of going through life. – Bill Taylor

Reinventing the American Dream with Courtney Martin

Mon, 24 Oct 2016 00:00:00 GMT

In terms of of the new definition of success, at its most basic we have previously defined the American dream as one individual creating wealth. And usually we define that monetarily, for themselves and their family. So this is everything from the white picket fence and all of your needs are met within it to having a job that has a very clear trajectory, straight up the ladder, and you get all the glory and it’s all about your individual hard work and giftedness. I think that what i’m trying to argue for is breaking apart that whole idea that success is an individual pursuit and instead thinking of success as interdependent pursuit that is about the quality of life that you can create by doing work that you find meaningful that allows you to earn enough money by creating community around you, whether that’s where you live or in cowering spaces, but really having this sense that wealth is most accurately expressed through your relationships. The more people that you have deep, genuine and even daily relationships with, the safer you’ll be and probably the healthier and happier you’ll be too. – Courtney Martin

The Tenets of Mental Toughness With Eric Davis

Mon, 17 Oct 2016 00:00:00 GMT

What causes a lot of people to quit is the first time they fail, the first time they weren’t good enough. It doesn’t matter how great of a football player you are, it doesn’t matter how strong you are. I can have you do pushups in the cold California surf until your arms give out. No matter how strong you are, eventually your arms will give out. That’s what seal training does. It pushes you past your limits. A lot of people aren’t comfortable going past their limits. They have a mindset that’ become fixed. They only like to do things that they can be good at. They tie in everything that makes them feel good about themselves by being naturally good at something or being able to do something with little to no effort. And for guys who make it through seal training ,what we feed off and what we pride ourselves on is the effort. – Eric Davis

Biohacking Your Brain With Andrew Hill

Wed, 12 Oct 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Focus is about the ability  to attend at will. And to do so in the presence of distractors. And focus ends up becoming then a balance of continuous resources against transient resources. Transient resources, things where you’re being alerted or oriented to new stimulus in the environment and sort of vigilant as a sustained attention piece where you’re able to laser like focus and also be flexible enough to pull things out of your mind. Not stay so focused on something in front of you that you can’t think. It’s actually not just more. Performing better is not simply more attention, more focus, it’s about control over these things.

Turning a Life That Looks Good on Paper Into One That Is With Smiley Poswolsky

If it looks good on paper and other people are impressed maybe that means it’s the right thing. And for me, one of the main lessons I learned was that you can have a job that on paper is perfect. The right company, the right title, the right salary, the right kind of influence, and prestige. Your parents are super impressed or it looks good on Linkedin.

Anybody who has achieved in sports or in music or has traveled globally, anyone who has broken out of their social circle has realized there’s a whole big world out there. It gives you a certain amount of inner authority where you have the courage, when your social circle is dragging your down or not agreeing, it takes what I call Inner authority vs. Outer authority. Outer is authority is “what does the Bible say, what does the Quran say, what do my parents say, what does society say?” It’s always an “ism.” It’s always “I have a decision to make. Let me check with an outer authority to see what I should do” And there’s a lot of people who live that way right now. Inner authority is “I might check with an outer authority, but I’m going to make the decision myself and trust that my opinion is valuable.” – Dean Kosage

Dean Kosage has more than 16 years of professional experience and specializes in motivational speaking and life coaching. An entrepreneur at an early age, he owned a restaurant and online retail stores with affiliates worldwide. By age 23, he gained such success that he was able to retire and focus his attention on Kosage Motivation, Inc.

Creating the Life and Career You Truly Want with Geoff Blades

Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT

The question “what do I want?”,we make it this big all encompassing question like one day you’ll wake up and you’ll know with absolutely certainty what the rest of your life is about. And what I suggest is that’s a false idea. And when we build it up that way, we make the question so big that it’s hard too hard to answer. Instead the way see it today and teach it today, don’t see the question with an answer, see it as a process. See it as a question that you answer over time. – Geoff Blades

The Power of Making Your Work More Personal with Marian Schembari

Mon, 26 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT

“If you are sharing something to connect with people… usually the scarier something feels the better is that you share it, but if it feels like relief, like you would talk to a friend, then often it’s done selfishly. Often times being vulnerable on the internet is whatever you make it…. One person can share something and another person can share the same thing, but their intention of unloading vs connecting is usually really clear at the beginning” – Marian Schembari

Smarter Faster Better with Charles Duhigg

Wed, 21 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Productivity is not about doing things unthinkingly. Productivity is about pushing yourself to think more about things that matter. We know the people who are most productive tend to spend more time thinking about what their priorities ought to be instead of getting into their office and automatically answering emails, then working on their expenses, and responding to phone calls. Instead of going on autopilot, which is what habits help us do, what productive people do is say “I know that’s what I did yesterday, but is that the best use of my time today”- Charles Duhigg

Exploring the Psychology of Human Robot Interaction with Tom Guarriello

Mon, 19 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT

In this interaction that takes place between a person and a robot, the person is a critical determining factor in how that interaction is going to work. Just like with your computer. If you have a very frustration tolerance for example, computers are going to drive you crazy because computers are always going behave in confounding ways. They’re always going to do something that you didn’t want expect or want. If I allow my low frustration tolerance to guide my interactions with my computer, it’s not going to be a good relationship with my computer. It’s going to be a terrible relationship with my computer. Software isn’t going to work. We all know people who can’t get things to work on their computer. The computer is just fine. It’s the human part of the interaction that isn’t working well. – Tom Guarriello

Become a Rockstar on Whatever Stage You Touch with Sekou Andrews

Wed, 14 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Do you want to make your art your commodity? Answer that. Because that choice is the most difficult choice you’re going to have to make. That’s going to guide and effect everything else that you’re doing. When I think about how that’s shown up in my life, it’s shown up in some incredibly beautiful ways and some incredibly difficult ways. When your art is your commodity, when you’re just a poet, and you’re doing it as a hobby, it’s like “I want to show up at this open mic and rock my love poem, you know I’m in love. I want rock my heartbreak poem because she just left me. Or I want to do my suicide depression poem because I’m feeling down.” And now when your art becomes your job, it’s like “I’ve got to rock this phone bill poem” – Sekou Andrews

As the world’s leading Poetic voice, Sekou Andrews creates powerful poetic presentations that give voice to the missions of organizations and help them tell their most powerful stories. He’s also the creator of Stage Might, unique training to help you stand out on any stage, and inspire any crowd by becoming more authentic, moving, and memorable.

Why Your Only Move That Matters is Your Next with Jenny Blake

Mon, 12 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT

When I was going through a rough patch I came to one of two conclusions: I’m either destined to be unhappy forever because I keep hitting these existential crises every few years and our society only has two words for them. It’s either a midlife crisis or a quarter-life crisis. Or this crisis state is accelerating and we’re all going to be experiencing it more frequently. As I started doing research for the book, I realized that the latter was really the case…Typically when businesses talk about pivoting it’s to change strategy to save the business from collapse. Plan A didn’t’ work so now they have to pivot or die. And in our careers it’s different. Pivot is now the new normal. Actually Pivot is a state of mind and it’s a method that we can all get better at. It’s also a privilege to ask what’s next. Part of hitting a career plateau or pivot point is that’s a sign of our success. – Jenny Blake

I can’t overemphasize how important some of the values were I learned from being on teams: learning about teamwork, and working together, and being willing to fail, accepting defeat over and over again. And making that part of your character. All of those are things that come out of extracurricular activities like music and the discipline of getting better at something. – Josh Neufeld

Creating a Community Where POTUS is Your Client

Mon, 05 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Anytime a minority of people in this country wants to change, and by minority I mean a minority of people who hold a specific belief or believe that change should happen, they have to convince a lot of people and a lot of their legislators to believe the same thing in order for that to actually get done. The fight for gay marriage felt like it was an overnight success but that took 30 years of organizing, and 30 years of convincing hearts and minds even when the majority of the country believe that it should have been done. It took a supreme court decision. It is really difficult and I have the utmost respect for people who can show up, hear the conspiracy theorists talk about how much they’re evil people, and deal with the atrocities that people accuse our government of, and still believe in the cause, and show up and get it done every day. – Caleb Gardner

Food as a Tool for Building Community with Jeffrey Zurofsky and Satya Twena

Thu, 01 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT

“There’s a reduction belief around things like food and other kinds of sacred activities that make us human that we’ve managed boil down to an essential thing the way we do with everything in our lives. We want to become more efficient at them. More productive. I believe there are 5 things we do as humans that don’t deserve that kind of treatment: breathing, sleeping, procreating, eliminating and eating are essential things that don’t belong in that category. ” – Jeffery Zurofsky

Dancing Your Way to Self-Confidence with Ben Weston

Mon, 29 Aug 2016 00:00:00 GMT

I remember the first guy that I taught. He walked into the studio very shy and very nervous. I was also nervous thinking “did someone just pay me to teach them how to dance?” What the hell? Do not let on that this potentially a scam. There’s no way he’s paying me to teach him how to dance. Let’s roll with this.” So he told me his story:

“Obviously, I don’t know how to dance. But I’m gay and everyone expects me to know how to dance. They think I’m a fantastic dancer. That’s so far from the truth. I need so many shots of booze not get lost in my thoughts, and feel embarrassed because I know that I’m going to embarrass myself and people are going to wonder why can’t this gay man dance?
And for the first half hour of the lesson he was staring down at his feet…shoulders caved in, head down, arms crossed as if he was literally guarding himself from being attacked. He started learning a few basic moves, very simple moves. And it started to feel good. Once he got the moves he started dancing to the beat…. And then his shoulders relaxed, his arms relaxed, and I remember he looked up at the mirror in front of him and then he smirked. He smiled and I said “what’s up?” He said “I think I can dance. I think I’m beginning to learn how to dance.” And I said “Damn straight you can dance” – Ben Weston

Biohacking Your Way to a Bulletproof Life with Dave Asprey

Mon, 22 Aug 2016 00:00:00 GMT

“When you want to have more energy and more ability to write, it comes down to one thing. And that’s electrons. At the end of the day, you’re a battery. Your job is to make enough electrons to do what you want to do. We call that energy. You get energy from food, air, and to some extent from light and magnetism. The problem that most people have is that they have unstable energy supply to their head. Your brain and visual processing system are probably using 20% of your calories. Your heart, eyes, and your brain have about 10,000 mitochondria (these little power plants in your cell), per cell. So they’re very dense in energy consumption. The rest of your body has 1 or 2 per cell. So you have 10 times the energy consumption and energy production ability in your brain. That means, especially if you’re smart and focusing a lot, if you have slight perturbations in your ability to bring energy into those cells, it’s basically energy brownout.” – Dave Asprey

The Art of Strategic Gifting with John Ruhlin

Mon, 15 Aug 2016 00:00:00 GMT

I don’t care who you are. Even billionaires. We like to be surprised and delighted. Most people I would say walk around feeling under-appreciated and not over appreciated, whether it’s by your family, by your employee, by your kids….In general most people feel under appreciated by their most important relationships. So I think when you gift no strings attached, and it’s not an obligatory year end gift. I don’t send one gift between Thanksgiving and Christmas because that’s an obligation. But when somebody gets a gift just because “I was thinking of you” or just “because of who you are”, I don’t care if you live in South America or Nowhereseville, Ohio, that makes people feel a certain way. And we all crave that appreciation and acknowledgement as a human being. When you tap into that feeling, it’s powerful. And I think we’re all wired at a DNA level, to want to reciprocate it in some, way, shape or form eventually. – John Ruhlin

The Future of Work with David Burkus

Wed, 10 Aug 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Beyond working in whatever your parents did type of working, the industrial revolution really sort of began that idea that you would get a job, that you wouldn’t just be whatever your parents were or work on the farm that you inherited. That was the beginning of management and it was based off this idea that the majority of people didn’t need to think and act. We just need to teach you how to do this repetitive motion in the factory and pay you to do that motion for 8 hours. Then around the mid 1900’s we shifted from industrial work to knowledge work. What happened was that alot of those tools we brought with us from the factory to the office. The tools of how we manage people. And it worked because the work was still repetitive, but it was repetitive on paper instead of trying to assemble a car. And now we’re in this shift where knowledge work has become creative work. Everybody has to exercise creativity. Even in a normal “office” job you have to solve problems, come up with solutions, and create ideas. You have to exercise that muscle in a way that we haven’t had to do even 20 years ago. – David Burkus

The Inevitable Forces That Will Shape Our Future with Kevin Kelly

Mon, 08 Aug 2016 00:00:00 GMT

I truly do believe that this is both the very best time in the history of the universe, as far as we can tell, to make something because the tools for creation have never been more easily gotten, they’ve never been cheaper. They’ve never been better. They’ve never been as diverse. And they truly make things more accessible. So if you want to make something that has been made already like a book, a movie, a song, the tools do that are just about free, which means almost anybody in the world can get their hands on it. And many of these things in previous generations were prohibitively expensive and relegated to the elites. But now you can make a book that looks as good as a best-selling author can make, and you can distribute it, and it costs very little do…We are at a moment right now in terms of what’s ahead of us, that it’s a very rapidly expanding opening. We’re on the cusp of all these very transformative technologies and trends that will produce more stuff and opportunities in the next 50 years than in the past 50 years as much as that’s hard to believe. – Kevin Kelly

Developing an Unmistakable Voice with Janelle Hanchett

“I was always able to envision “as soon as I get to this spot, the bullshit in my head is going to leave. As soon as this happens, it’s all going to go away. I’m going to feel really confident as a writer”. And I’ve actually reached all of those points and all that happens is the bullshit in my head shifts into some new story. That’s it. It doesn’t go away. I just changes. It’s a shapeshifter. So that’s where I am now. I’ve made peace with the fact there’s a part of my brain that’s always chattering on about how I’m an impostor, and I’m not good enough, and I’m going to make people upset. But I always get back to “am I writing what I want to be writing in way that I want to be writing it.” And I just kind of trust that’s all I’ve got. That’s what I’ve got to give the world. It’s either going to succeed or not. People are going to like it or not, but that’s what I have. I’m just going to focus on being the best writer that I can and telling the truth as accurately as I can.”

And in this realm we’re connected in a different way than we are as in the child or in the downward spiral. We define ourselves as connected to others. We do not define ourselves a individuals trying to survive. We define ourselves as living in an abundant world where nothing is personal. The reason you’ll see that the world is abundant is because when you understand that you’re creating your life, you can open so many different stories and come from so many different points of view that life is always abundant.” – Ros Zander

The Psychology of Trust with Michelle Reina

Mon, 11 Jul 2016 00:00:00 GMT

What happens when our trust has been broken and we have been betrayed, it can cause us to feel a lack of confidence in ourselves. It can put us on to shaky ground. So it’s important that we observe what happened. We acknowledge to ourselves, we give permission for those feelings to surface and we’ve got to get support. We go after finding another person who can support us to do the next most important step which is reframing that experience. We reframe when we take that hurt, that pain and that disappointment and we actually consider what can that help us to learn. How could we potentially grow from this? – Michelle Reina

The Invisible Influences that Shape our Lives with Jonah Berger

Wed, 06 Jul 2016 00:00:00 GMT

Particularly in America, we think that influence is bad. It’s not a four letter word but it’s pretty close. There’s this myth of the non-conformist. We’re all different. We’re all separate. We’re all completely original and different from everybody else. And that’s not true at the end of the day. Not only is that not true,influence just isn’t as bad as we think. Imagine for a moment that you couldn’t pick a car mechanic or a restaurant to try or what movie to see by talking to anybody, if you had to figure out yourself, every restaurant you’d ever try, every book you’d ever read, every movie to ever see. You had to do all the work to figure it out yourself. You had to read all the reviews and the information and sift through it. Life would be really difficult. So many times others help us make better decisions and also faster decisions. We read online reviews to help us pick something. We talk to our friends to help us figure out what to do. That’s influence. And that’s definitely not a bad thing. – Jonah Berger

Wed, 29 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT

“I think one of the things is not looking at the result. Something that has grown very evident in me, and it came from being a teacher, the work that we always do in my classroom is process work not product work. What we want to do when go into the audition room is we want to show these people that “hey, this what this song does to me, And it’s not polished and it’s not perfect, but I’m in the moment and I’m in the music.” If we’re using musical theater, which I think applies to going in for a job interview, or anything that we’re doing to put our work out there, that we come in and say “this is me in the process I’m in with this material. I want you to see how I play with material. I want you to witness me being in my experience.” – Sheri Sanders

In 2004, Sheri Sanders created an audition class in NYC called Rock The Audition: A Masterclass in Auditioning for Rock Musicals – and it became a cult hit. Since then, Sheri has become the world’s preeminent popular music repertoire coach, a Hal Leonard published author, and has taught at more than 55 musical theatre programs all over the country – instructing performers and their professors and coaches to successfully interpret all styles of popular music.

Inventing Point B with Amy Whitaker

Mon, 27 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT

“A work of art is something new in the world that changes the world to allow itself to exist. What that means is that the context you’re making something in, the world itself is different when you start and when you end. So you’re not just going from point A to point B within a static known world. You’re in the point A world figuring out how to lead from questions and risk developing things that are kind of unknown as to whether they’ll succeed or fail. If they succeed, you have created a point B world. You’ve made something that then changes the world to make space for itself in a very small or large way. These don’t have to all be grand gestures, just kind of acts of putting a dent in the universe as the saying goes of trying to affect change, to show up in a way of consequence in your personal life, professional life and the world in general.” – Amy Whitaker

Conscious Transformation with Joey Klein

Wed, 22 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT
It starts at the core. A lot of times we can find our minds go the place of “when I have then I’ll be.” It’s kind of that context. When I have a lot of money, then I’ll be happy. I’ll take vacations. I’ll take these trips. When I marry then I’ll feel connected. It’s sort of like “when this happens in my world, it’ll produce this effect for me inside.” And it’s sort of like turning it on its head and saying “you know I’m going to be happy today because essentially I’m going to choose to be happy today.” And I know that sounds so simplistic, but it really is that easy and that simple. You might need to train it a little bit, practice thoughts that are going to produce happiness, beliefs that are going to produce happiness, and engaging activities that are fulfilling. But I think it’s as simple as just beginning to decide it’s what I’m going to be. – Joey Klein

The Surprising Science of Water with Wallace Nichols

Wed, 15 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT

It turns out when we do put ourselves at the edge of the water, visually our field of view is simplified. Auditorily our world is simplified. You’re sensory input gets simple. It doesn’t completely turn off. It doesn’t go away. But the patterns become more clear. When you get into the water, assuming that you want to be in the water, it’s totally different if you get thrown into the water. That’s more of a red mind experience. Assuming that this is all taking place and you’re in control. The waves are small, the water is warm and you want to be there. Then you give up the gravity. The hundreds of muscles that were holding you in the position that you were standing in no longer need to do the work. And the brain regions that were taking care of that aspect of living on land get a break. So auditorily, visually, somatically, you’re getting a break. You’re getting a rest. So what happens is you go into what is often referred to as the default mode or the default mode network is activated which is a more contemplative, self referential perspective. – Wallace Nichols

Dr. Wallace “J.” Nichols, called “Keeper of the Sea” by GQ Magazine and “a visionary” by Outside Magazine is an innovative, silo-busting, entrepreneurial scientist, movement maker, renown marine biologist, voracious Earth and idea explorer, wild water advocate, bestselling author, sought after lecturer, and fun-loving Dad.

Transforming Human Behavior Through Nutrition with Tom Bilyeu

Mon, 13 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT

“Humans are emotional creatures. We all have the chance right now today to decide, and that word is so important, to decide to live a beautiful life, meaning no matter what’s going on. Don’t take my word for it. Victor Frankl, a holocaust survivor, this is all him, this is literally the message of his book Man’s Search for Meaning. When you decide to find something beautiful right now in the moment and this is somebody saying it from the perspective being in Auschwitz. When you can find purpose in what you’re going through, when you can find purpose in your suffering and you know why you’re doing this, then you really can have a fulfilling life regardless of the circumstances. If we all have to make that choice, we have to decide to live a beautiful life, we’re going do something incredible, then all of a sudden when you know what you’re trying to accomplish, when you have a specific vision for what you’re trying to make of this world, why it’s beautiful to you, and why it’s worth all the fight, all of a sudden you become incredibly resourceful, and that purpose, having a sense of significance and meaning in your life, for whatever reason we’re hardwired to find real fulfillment in that.” – Tom Bilyeu

The Power of Experiential Learning with Joshua Spodek

Wed, 08 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT

“No one who is learning to play a musical instrument, no one who wants to learn a musical instrument would ever take a class where they would lecture you for a year on theory for putting it into practice. And in fact if you did want to learn piano theory or music theory, you still learn to play first. There’s lots of fields like that.

Constantin Stanislavski revolutionized how acting is taught. I learned about him because just for fun I would watch Inside the actor’s studio. Except, that I noticed that a lot of these actors were tremendous at a lot of the skills that leaders valued. Especially the skill of reading others’ emotions, expressing their own emotions, being emotionally aware. And here I’d come from a top 5 business school, having taken a whole bunch of classes in leadership, and many of these actors had dropped out of school. Yet they excelled in something that my environment didn’t even cover, just covered intellectually but didn’t give the skills. I thought “what’s going on here?” Why are these people who are not even in the system, or the system kicked out surpassing people who are at the pinnacle of the system?” – Joshua Spodek

Mon, 06 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT

“My first night in prison was the worst night of my life. I’ll never forget it because it was right around my birthday, a time that you’re supposed to be celebrating and happy. I was on my way to doing a life sentence in prison. It was the most depressing, just worst imaginable experience that one could ever have. I wouldn’t’ wish it upon my worst enemy. I was really desperate. I was so fearful. I was afraid.I was scared. I didn’t know how I was going to be able to make it through it all. It still hadn’t completely sunk in that I was facing a life sentence. I was so overwhelmed with fear and sadness. I felt alone. I felt like I was just trapped. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. You can’t go to mom and dad. Mom and dad can’t help you. The only person that can help you. I’ve faced a lot of scary moments, but that was by far the scariest moment of my life.” – Kenyatta Leal

Technologys Impact On Humanity And Our Creativity Rahaf Harfoush

Wed, 01 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT

We as a society have collectively decided that there’s an appropriate way to show our commitment to our jobs. And that’s through struggle and sacrifice. So you say “I’m so busy” or “I pulled an all-nighter.” You stay really late, you’re the last one to leave, you’re the first one to arrive. There’s this kind of element of you’re proving through sacrifice your devotion to your job which we as a culture have decided on. What technology has done is that it’s made it very hard to disconnect. It’s blurring the lines between being at work and being at home. So now we have this mechanism through which we can constantly showing work devotion through all hours of the day.

Understanding How You’re Hardwired with Steve Sisler

Mon, 30 May 2016 00:00:00 GMT

I don’t help people launch into their trajectory. I show them what it likely is. Then it’s up to them to make the effort to do whatever they’ve got to do to get there. My goal is four things. Self understanding, then self management. Understand who you are, how you’re wired, and embrace it for what it is. In other words, if you’re a head of lettuce find a salad. If you’re a hammer find a toolbox and you’ll better off. But we got a lot of hammers in salads.
I’m able to to give them a blueprint of their behavioral framework, their emotional set, what this looks like and what drives them. And then see where they are. If you’re a Volkswagen why are you in the Daytona 500? That gives them a roadmap. There are some people that will take advantage of this information and put it to good use and make significant change. There are other people that say, “wow that was really interesting” – Steve Sisler

An Adventure Through The Hidden Parts of India with Karan Bajaj

Wed, 25 May 2016 00:00:00 GMT

“That whole yoga sutras idea, the fact that the eagle spreads its wings, then brings its wings down, the cycle of life almost. You have to experience growth in its fullest form, keep pushing yourself and your boundaries of growth, and there comes a point when you want nothing more in the world and you want to bring it down, that you want bring the wings down and spend an inordinate amount of time in silence and contemplation. I don’t think that’s ever seeped into the west. No matter what you do you want more and more. Not just materially, but emotionally you want to keep growing, keep doing more things, keep stretching yourself. There is never that time for you to think “I’ve experienced everything in the world there is to experience, now I just have to bring it down” – Karan Bajaj

Leading to Bring out the Best in People with Liz Wiseman

Wed, 18 May 2016 00:00:00 GMT
How does what we know get in the way of what we don’t know, but need to learn? I felt like I finally knew stuff. But now I’m leaving and going into a new environment. And I began to wonder, how does all of this mastery and competence that I have built the hard way, how is that actually now going to be a liability in this new environment? I could see it wasn’t just a question for me. We’re living in fast times. Technology is causing our business cycles to spin so fast that often we don’t even face the same problem twice. There’s not a lot of opportunity to for reuse. And we’re working in an environment where what we know isn’t nearly as important as how fast we learn- Liz Wiseman

The Venture Capitalist Who is Teaching Prisoners How to Code with Chris Redlitz

Mon, 09 May 2016 00:00:00 GMT

“Unfortunately we see a lot of shows like Lockup and so forth that portray a certain subset of what goes on in prison. And that’s real. But there are a lot of things that are not necessarily shown all the time that are really positive.
I had no experience with prison. Never been a prison before. I stepped in San Quentin the first time. I had the same sort of perception that most people do. San Quentin is a very ominous looking place. It has all the death row inmates for California. I thought this a place where people go to serve out their time and a lot of these guys are beyond any type of help. That was my perception and for most people I think that’s the case.
I did a small class talking about entrepreneurship, and I did not have any idea that the response that I would get would be so amazing and deep. These guys were just thirsting for education, for conversation about things that they were so interested in. They wanted to start business. They wanted to learn. And it really immediately changed my perception of that. ” – Chris Redlitz
