I've been through almost every type of negotiation: salary negotiation, vacation time, buying businesses, selling businesses, getting equity, etc. The only negotiation I haven't tried personally is hostage negotiation.

515 - Why People Become Conspiracy Theorists: Quillette Editor Jonathan Kay Explains How People Get Persuaded to Cross the Line of Logic Dec 17, 2019

Show notes

Who makes you think what? So many people come on my podcast and say, "Freewill is a myth." We've heard this from Yuval Harari who wrote "Sapiens." We heard it from Robert Greene, author of "The Laws of Human Nature." And now we're learning about it from a different perspective... Jonathan Kay wrote a book in 2011 called, "Among the Truthers: A Journey Through America's Growing Conspiracist Underground." He studied 9/11 conspiracy theorists, people who believe in UFOs, secret societies running the world and more. I wanted to know what makes someone cross the border from skeptical to radical. And he told me it has to do with a lot of elements... fear, control, desire to create hope and fight evil in the world. I was surprised to learn the psychology behind it. AND to learn how you can avoid the trap. I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!

513 - You Can Invent Something Life-Changing: Chief Don DeLuca Gives a Case Study of What it Takes to Go from Idea to Action Dec 10, 2019

Show notes

Someone sent me a video of a young 20-something-year-old getting tasered in the shower by a police officer. He was mentally ill. I thought, "This needs to change." And it is. Thanks to Chief Don Deluca, Scott Cohen and the whole team behind BolaWrap, a new technology that helps officers restrain people without using extreme force. Their story is proof that problems in society don't have to stay problems forever. You can look at something difficult that hasn't changed in 20 years and say, "I'm going to do something about this." And that's what this episode will walk you through. You'll learn how to go from problem to idea to action. So you can feel empowered to make the changes you want to see, too.

512 - You Could Be MUCH More Persuasive: Dilbert Creator Scott Adams on How to Avoid Loserthink & Be More Logical Dec 05, 2019

Show notes

We all make stupid arguments all the time. But we can get better. If we take the right steps. So I read Scott Adams new book and invited him on the podcast to talk about "Loserthink."

511 - What’s Valid Work?: Mike Rowe, “Dirty Jobs” Host on Where Dignity Comes From & How to Feel This In Your Life Dec 03, 2019

Show notes

Mike Rowe has been a TV personality for a long time. He's best known as the host of "Dirty Jobs" where he shows the world what it's like to do dangerous and disgusting jobs. Mike showed us that there's dignity in work. Of all kinds. In this episode, I ask Mike what made him want to do that show. He told me, "Curiosity." "It's no less valid to wonder how a sewer works than how the Hubble works." Mike shows that work is not about prestige. It's about providing... something so many of us forget to recognize ourselves for. Even if we deserve to. I write about all my podcasts!

510 - How to Build a Community That Loves You: Jeannie Gaffigan Speaks About The Support That Came with Battling Brain Cancer Nov 28, 2019

Show notes

I'm jealous of Jeannie Gaffigan's brain tumor. Not the tumor itself. Or the feeding tube. Or side effects. But I'm jealous of the community that came to her side. I told her, "I'm afraid that if this ever happens to me, I won't have the love and support that you've built up over the years." She had a mega support system... neighbors and family who got her the best doctors, plus friends and colleagues who worked with her when she wrote and produced "The Jim Gaffigan Show." She laughed. Because it's the weirdest thing to be jealous of. But she understood. And told me not to worry. "I had no idea I had this [support system]. It took this. You have it. You just don't know. Like me. I didn't know it." She wrote all about this in her new book, "When Life Gives You Pears: The Healing Power of Family, Faith, and Funny People." Which you can also listen to on Audible. It'll make you laugh. And help you feel more connected. And more capable of handling life's hardest moments. Also if you want to know how to reshape your life, maybe start over, try a new career move, make a new income stream or whatever you need to feel refreshed, then I have a book for you.

509 - Be Big Enough to Change Your Circumstances: Eric Adams Shares How He Went From "Bad Kid" to Brooklyn Borough President Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

Eric Adams was beat by the police at age 15. "They kicked us in the groin over and over again. We were urinating blood for seven days." So when Eric grew up, he became a cop. "I had no idea I was going to last for 22 years," he said. "I thought I would be there a year. And then they'd say, 'Get rid of this guy. This guy's a trouble maker." But that never happened. He got promoted. "I was driven. The plan was to go in there with a mission. The mission was to find ways to make communities safe without being in disgrace. How do you turn this noble profession into what it ought to be?" Later on, Eric became a state senator and now he's Brooklyn Borough President with a new mission to become mayor. In this episode, you'll hear Eric talk about his drive. And how he turns visions into missions. With real hope. And real possibility. -- New announcement.
