Understanding How You’re Hardwired with Steve Sisler May 30, 2016

Show notes

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

Steve Sisler is a behavioral profiler and lead Behavioral Analyst at both The Behavioral Resource Group and jumpstarters (launching in January 2016).

An Adventure Through The Hidden Parts of India with Karan Bajaj May 25, 2016

Show notes

“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

Karan Bajaj is a novelist and striving Yogi. Born and raised in the Indian Himalayas, he now lives in Brooklyn, New York. He’s also the author of The Yoga of Max’s Discontent

Leading to Bring out the Best in People with Liz Wiseman May 18, 2016

Show notes

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

Building Unshakable Mental Toughness with Graham Betchart May 16, 2016

“For me it’s pretty obvious that what people are searching for is inside. I think we’re sold that it’s outside of us. People in this world do a pretty good of selling that it’s outside of you.

The Venture Capitalist Who is Teaching Prisoners How to Code with Chris Redlitz May 09, 2016

Show notes

“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

Chris Redlitz is a general partner of TransCapital Media and the founder of The Last Mile, which prepares incarcerated individuals for successful reentry through business and technology training.
