Jordan Harbinger: Exploring Social Dynamics Apr 05, 2017

Show notes

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 Apr 03, 2017

Show notes

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 Mar 29, 2017

Show notes

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 Mar 21, 2017

Show notes

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 Mar 20, 2017

Show notes

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

Garrett Gunderson: Moving from Scarcity to Abundance Mar 15, 2017

Show notes

Money is a byproduct. It’s a byproduct of value creation. Really the biggest way to deliver that value is to create a compelling vision. I think vision is the rarest commodity that there is in the world. When we’re in scarcity it’s hard to have vision. But if you can be more abundant, what you realize is that vision is what drives the most value. – Garrett Gunderson

Garrett Gunderson is Founder and Chief Wealth Architect of Wealth Factory, and New York Times bestselling author of Killing Sacred Cows: Overcoming the Financial Myths That Are Destroying Your Prosperity. And he’s personally helped countless business owners create efficient wealth strategies that fit their unique strengths.

Amy Blankson: The Future of Happiness Mar 13, 2017

Show notes

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

Amy Blankson is the only person to be named a Point of Light by two Presidents (President Bush and President Clinton). She received a Presidential appointment to serve a five-year term on the Board of Directors of the Corporation for National Service, and was one of the youngest delegates to the Presidents’ Summit for America’s Future. Amy received her BA from Harvard and MBA from Yale School of Management. In 2007, Amy co-founded GoodThink to bring the science of happiness to life for organizations and individuals.

Joe Cross: Reboot Your Health Mar 08, 2017

Show notes

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

Joe Cross is the founder and CEO of Reboot. His personal story of transformation was chronicled in the documentary Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, which has been seen by more than 25 million people worldwide.

Sid Mohasseb: Evolving into the Best Version of Yourself Mar 06, 2017

Show notes

“We are here to experiment and to learn. If that is the purpose, then we have to constantly evolve to our own best version. You could call that changing. You could all that evolving. You could call it a natural process. When we don’t, we lose our creativity, we lose our momentum, we lose our place in the world, and we lose our purpose in the world, whatever that is. It’s unique for everybody and it’s different ” – Sid Mohasseb
