What if one simple discovery question could close your next big deal? Here's the one I used: “Tell me what's going on with your team?” Then I shut up and listened. The buying committee talked, debated, and worked their way toward their own clarity. By the end of the call, they had essentially closed the deal for me. I barely said a word. That's not a fairy tale—it happened. And it proves why most sales discovery fails: reps focus on their checklist and pitch instead of helping the buyer gain clarity. The Certainty Crisis Killing Your Deals Dr. Lorenzo Bizzi joined The Sales Gravy Podcast and revealed a simple truth: Buyer uncertainty kills deals. Traditional sales discovery often increases that uncertainty. Rigid qualifying questions, seller-centric agendas, and shallow data gathering make buyers feel misunderstood and cautious. When you approach discovery this way, you're eroding trust. Sure, buyers are evaluating your product—but they're also evaluating whether you understand their world. And if you can't help them gain clarity, even the best solution won't move the deal forward. The Science of Deep Sales Discovery The most effective influence tactic isn't charm, rapport, or even product demos. It's clearly displaying the arguments and reasons why your solution works for their specific situation. But you can't build rational arguments until you truly understand the problem. And you can't understand the problem until you master deep discovery. Deep discovery operates on two levels: The Organizational Level: What metrics matter to the company? What are the measurable business outcomes they're trying to achieve? What's the cost of inaction? The Individual Level: What's at stake for each stakeholder personally? How will this decision impact their performance review, their standing with leadership, and their career trajectory? Remember: Organizations don't make decisions. People do. The Power of One Question The most powerful discovery conversations start with one well-crafted, open-ended question that invites the buyer to tell their story—not your story about how great your product is.  The question I used—"Tell me what's going on with your team?"—worked because it was: Open-ended, with no leading assumptions. Centered on their world, not my product. Neutral, without judgment or bias. Broad enough to go anywhere. When you ask the right question and then listen, the buyer starts convincing themselves. They begin connecting the dots between their current situation and what they need to change.  And here's the key: If the buyer says it, it's the truth. If you say it, you're just another salesperson spinning a pitch. Cognitive Empathy Is The Difference Maker Dr. Lorenzo Bizzi defines several types of empathy. But for salespeople, the distinction that matters is simple: affective empathy pulls you off course, while cognitive empathy keeps you sharp, connected, and in control. Affective empathy—actually feeling what your buyers feel—will drain your energy and cloud your judgment. When they're frustrated, you get frustrated. When they're uncertain, you become uncertain. Cognitive empathy is different. It's the ability to recognize and understand what your buyer is feeling without taking it on yourself. You stay clear-headed and outcome-focused, while still connecting deeply with their situation.  In discovery, cognitive empathy shows up in the emotional nuance most salespeople miss—a pause before they answer, a change in tone, or hesitation in their voice. That's your cue to lean in, ask a clarifying question, and uncover what's really driving their hesitation. "You paused when I asked about your current system. What's on your mind?" "I heard some frustration in your voice when you mentioned the timeline. Help me understand what's driving that." Deals get won in the emotional subtleties that surface-level discovery never uncovers.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why grief feels like it's taking over your entire body? That's because it is. Grief isn't merely an emotion—it's a full-body experience that reshapes your breath patterns, disrupts your routines, rewires your nervous system, and fundamentally alters how your brain processes reality. Traditional psychology often treats grief as a series of emotional stages, but neuroscience reveals something far more profound happening beneath the surface.When someone you love dies, you lose more than their presence. You lose a biological co-regulator—someone whose voice calmed your vagus nerve, whose routines anchored your daily rhythms, whose existence formed part of your brain's map of safety. This explains why grief can feel so physically disorienting. Your nervous system keeps expecting responses that will never come, triggering stress signals that manifest as anxiety, exhaustion, or a strange emptiness that seems to travel through your body.The healing path through grief isn't about "moving on" or "getting over it." It's about neural reorganization—finding new ways for your brain to map safety in a world without your person. This podcast explores the biological dimensions of grief, including why the brain struggles to process loss, how grief impacts emotional regulation, and why community support isn't just emotionally comforting but biologically necessary for healing. We'll also guide you through a nervous system meditation designed specifically to create new pathways of safety and integration.Ready to understand your grief journey from both scientific and soulful perspectives?

Meditation Leads to Reduced Default Mode Network Activity Beyond an Active TaskIn this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and Dr. Kathleen Garrison explore how meditation alters brain activity, specifically within the default mode network (DMN), a system associated with self-referential thinking and mind-wandering. This study uniquely compares meditation not just to resting states but also to an active cognitive task, demonstrating that experienced meditators exhibit significantly reduced DMN activity. Findings suggest that long-term meditation practice can quiet habitual self-referential thought patterns and improve attentional control. Tune in to discover how meditation reshapes the brain beyond relaxation, fostering present-moment awareness and mental clarity.Full Reference:Garrison, K. A., Zeffiro, T.

'Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement', James Clear tells us in Atomic Habits. But what if you don't have the right habits - or at least, not yet? And how do you motivate yourself to do the thing for the 21 days that, according to legend, are required in order to establish a habit unless you already have the habit?With all this talk of the importance of habits, you'd be forgiven for thinking that without the habits, there's no hope for you. But, in fact, motivation without habits is easier than you might think. You just need to be able to see past the psychological smoke and mirrors that you're unwittingly putting in your own way.Reference: Timothy D. Wilson and Daniel T. Gilbert (2003): 'Affective forecasting', Advances in Experimental Social Psychology 35: 345-411.

Giacomo Lampredi"La cittadinanza affettiva"Attivismo, cura, solidarietàOrthotes Editricewww.orthotes.comQuali sono le trasformazioni affettive nella vita dei solidali verso i migranti? Quali sono le conseguenze intime e politiche di tali trasformazioni affettive? Questo libro risponde a queste domande tramite un ricco percorso di ricerca etnografica nelle reti di solidarietà verso i migranti di Torino e Firenze. L'affettività è intimamente costitutiva delle pratiche solidali e di cura che istituiscono i modi di essere e sentirsi cittadini.Attraverso un approccio teorico che include sociologia delle emozioni, etica della cura e studi critici sulla cittadinanza, in questo libro viene analizzato cosa le emozioni pragmaticamente fanno in termini di alterazione dei confini morali e politici. Le esperienze affettive dei solidali (attivisti, professionisti, persone che ospitano migranti in famiglia, membri di ONG, volontari ed ex-migranti) mettono in evidenza come i confini tra intimo ed estraneo, prossimo e distante e interno ed esterno, siano molto più fluidi e instabili di quello che solitamente pensiamo. Le emozioni in questi casi si manifestano come veri e propri atti di cittadinanza in cui si “rompono” e si riconfigurano le coordinate politiche della vita quotidiana. Questa è la pratica della cittadinanza affettiva: la pratica dirompente che intreccia nella vita quotidiana intimità e politica, cura e giustizia, coinvolgimento e riflessività.Giacomo Lampredi è assegnista di ricerca in sociologia generale presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Sociali e Politiche dell'Università degli Studi di Milano. I suoi interessi di ricerca ruotano attorno alla sociologia delle emozioni, all' etica della cura e alle diverse forme di attivismo.

Episode Summary In this episode of Think Thursday, we're diving into the psychology and neuroscience of reminiscing. Why does it feel so comforting to revisit our past? What is actually happening in our brains when we do it? And how can we intentionally use this experience to feel more grounded, present, and connected?This isn't just about nostalgia—it's about using our memories as a powerful tool for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and identity reinforcement. You'll learn why reminiscing matters, what research says about its benefits, and how to intentionally evoke it to support a life of peace, meaning, and alignment.In this episode, you'll learn:How the brain's default mode network supports self-reflection and memoryWhy reminiscing lights up the brain's reward system and releases dopamineThe therapeutic power of reminiscence and its effect on mood and stressFive ways to trigger positive, intentional reminiscingHow reminiscing supports personal growth, especially in midlife and beyondThe role of life review and reflection in building wisdom and inner calmResearch Highlights:Speer et al., 2014 (Cognitive, Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience): Positive memory recall activates the ventral striatum, part of the brain's reward system2013 study in Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience: Reminiscing increases self-esteem, social connection, and perceived life meaningMeta-analysis in Aging & Mental Health (2014): Structured reminiscence therapy improves mood and well-being in both clinical and non-clinical groupsHarvard Grant Study: Individuals who reflect on life with curiosity and compassion report higher satisfaction in later yearsErik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development: Life review in midlife and later years is a key developmental task for achieving wisdom and integrationPractice This Week:Take ten minutes to intentionally revisit a positive memory. Choose one of the following:Play a song from your younger yearsLight a candle or smell that reminds you of homeLook through old photographsHold a personal keepsakeCall a friend and share a “remember when” momentThen ask yourself:What strengths or values were alive in me during that memory?What part of myself am I reconnecting with?What could I bring forward into today?Reminiscing is not about living in the past. It's about building strength and clarity in the present by remembering who you've always been.Support the Show: If this episode resonated with you, consider sharing it with a friend or leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

New drugs that target the endocannabinoid system are being proposed for disorders that are usually characterized by the dysregulation of social processing, like social anxiety disorder and autism spectrum disorder. Researchers have been trying to understand the mechanisms for how these drugs work. Leah Mayo is assistant professor at the University of Calgary, and she's one of the authors of a new study in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology in which they examined two aspects of the system. One is the endocannabinoid system itself. And then there's another aspect of social processing called the C tactile system.

If we know that exercising has such potent and in many times IMMEDIATE effects on mood, then the question becomes, why aren't ALL of us doing it with no issues? Some of our older adults (and clients of all ages) think of EXERCISE like a cuss word. Yuck. They HATE it. They have a visceral reaction to it. This is known as the AFFECTIVE response of exercise. The “suck” in the middle of a hard workout hits us all differently and even KNOWING that you get to the other side. The suck can make people disengage. So how do we tackle it? Dr. Christina Prevett breaks this down.

Bryan Hubbard* Abstinence-only has a 7% success rateAre there any risks? There's a serious cardiac risk with ibogaine* It can prolong the QT interval, which means the beats between your heart slow down too much, and it can stop your heart* If it's not administered properly, someone could die* WARNING: Don't try to order ibogaine online or find a random clinic​Safer Ibogaine Analog in Development:​ ​Gilgamesh Pharma​ was awarded a $14M ​grant ​from the NIH-NIDA to develop a novel analog that removes this heart riskibogaine's three key benefits:* Resolves physiological substance dependence quickly* Restores psychological ownership and control over life* Provides a profound spiritual affirmation of purposeIbogaine Has Been Illegal for Decades: “Any system which maintains ibogaine's criminality is in fact criminal and needs to be torn apart brick by brick.” – W. Bryan HubbardNeed Help, Look Here- Reputable clinics like​ Ambio​ and​ Beond​ follow strict safety protocols, including using magnesium to prevent heart issuesStamford Study in Special Forces PTSD: “The results of that study are nothing short of miraculous when it comes to how ibogaine has been revealed to have significant neuro-regenerative properties that impact the human brain with profound implications for conditions for which there are no current effective treatments.” – W.Bryan Hubbard* The average reversal of brain age among these 30 veterans was 1.5 years with some of them seeing a reversal of almost 5 years!The Truth Behind Lots of Chronic Pain: “These ladies had worked lifetimes looking at a dead jobs end and at the time that they had their work accident, it was the straw that broke the camel's back for any hope they had of a future defined by dignity and autonomy and their hope had been broken and that broken hope came through as profound physical pain that was rooted within their spirit.” - Brian HubbardTruth and Justice: He thought the law was about truth and justice, but law school opened his eyes: “Law is often times nothing other than the tyrants will and always so when it is used to produce predetermined manipulated outcomes in the hands of judges who drive results based on their own individual biases, predilections, and preferences.” – W. Bryan HubbardSkyrocketing Disability Numbers in Kentucky: The population grew by 20%, but disability enrollment rose by 249%* Childhood disability enrollment exploded by over 4,000%* Prescription opioid use among adults in the program increased by 210%* Psychotropic drug use among children rose by 68%​ How to Use Exercise to Improve Your Brain's Health, Longevity & Performance | Huberman Lab ​4 things everyone should include in their weekly exercise routine:* (1) Long slow distance (LSD) / zone 2 cardio* (2) High-intensity interval training (HIIT)* (3) Time under tension (TUT) resistance training* (4) Explosive and eccentric control training* BONUS: (5) Do something you don't want to do (both psychologically and physically challenging but safe) to activate the anterior mid-cingulate cortex (AMCC)2 Types of Cardio:* Short-duration, high-intensity efforts: e.g., 30 seconds to 4 minutes of all-out effort, followed by rest* Longer-duration, lower-intensity efforts: e.g., 20-60 minutes at a steady pace, maintaining elevated heart rates2 Types of Resistance Training:* Compound, multi-joint exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, shoulder presses, and dips* Single-joint isolation exercises like single-leg leg extensionsIncreases in autonomic arousal, whether during or after learning, enhance:* How much you learn* Your memory of the details* The persistence of that learning over timeValue of HIIT: HIIT done just before cognitive flexibility tasks significantly improves performance on those tasks, probably because of enhanced arousal and increased cerebral blood flowYou're Not Tired Because You Exercises, You're Tired Because You Didn't Exercise: Next time you feel tired and want to skip a workout, remember: Exercise actually gives you energy through these pathways, boosting focus and mental clarityAdrenal burnout is a myth: People often talk about burning out your adrenals from coffee or excessive exercise. This isn't trueAdrenal insufficiency syndrome is real, but it's not related to exercise or coffee. This is a medical condition that's different from the normal stress-response system of your body3 categories of brain areas communicate with the adrenals to release adrenaline:* Cognitive areas: Involved in thinking and decision-making* Affective areas: Linked to emotions and how you perceive and react to the environment* Motor areas: Control your body movement. These areas in the cerebral cortex send signals to the spinal cord, which then triggers the release of acetylcholine to activate the adrenal medulla​ The Technological Republic – Palantir CEO Alex Karp & Stanley Druckenmiller In Conversation ​Talented people want to be around other talented people: If you are starting a team that already consists of immensely talented people, then other A-players will want to join; this dynamic positively compounds with time and becomes reflexiveThe type of person you want to hire: A truth-seeking, justice-seeking, fairness fanatic, who is justifiably snobby about their intellect (but not because of where they went to school) and who pushes responsibility into their area of expertise and takes over – and who, at the margin, may be unusual and difficultThe moral and ethical conundrums of modern warfare: The West is at technological parity with its adversaries, but not morally; our adversaries are far more willing to send their young men and women to die on the battlefield than we areOn AI Accelerationism – The US military does not have a choice regarding AI accelerationism; its adversaries will not slow down AI progress, and therefore, the game theory is such that the US cannot slow down eitherLaw School Sucks: “I thought of it as moral sophistry in the service of prestige.”Go Woke, Go Broke: “The Valley has realized that you just cannot placate the anti-intellectual left. It will destroy your business.” – Alex Karp* Basic things that most sane believe in are fairness, meritocracy, inputs being even across society, and that the outputs will not be evenly distributed* “Our society is crying for things that work. The instruments of measurement have been corroded everywhere.” – Alex KarpThe Left Broke Everything: People are sick of their border not being a border, their United Nations not being united, their schools not functioning as schools, and their government only taking inflows but not creating productive outflowsAn Essentialism Future: Every institution must clearly define its purpose, be transparent in what it spends to reach its objectives, and measure its output – which should be greater than its input​ Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Ukraine, War, Peace, Putin, Trump, NATO, and Freedom | Lex Fridman Podcast (#456) ​Peace Through Strength: " “I think that we share a position on peace through strength. That is very important. It means that if you are strong, you can speak.” - ZelenskyyTrump can stop this war: “I now see that when I talk about something with Donald Trump, whether we meet in person or we just have a call, all the European leaders always ask, “How was it?” This shows the influence of Donald Trump, and this has never happened before with an American president.” – ZelenskyyNo US, No NATO: If the U.S. left NATO, it would essentially fall apart. The U.S. is critical to NATO's strength and global security. The role America played in World War II shows how much its support matters in conflicts like thisForgiveness? “Russia will have to apologize. This will happen because they are guilty.”– ZelenskyyUkraine's future is with Europe, not Russia: “I think the most important thing is to remain open and not change our direction because culturally aligning with Russia, it's one idea, while aligning with Europe is another. Our people have chosen Europe. It's their choice, it's our choice, the choice of our nation, and I think it's very important.” – Zelenskyy​ Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky | Philosophize This! with Stephen West (#219) ​​Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky​: A tormented man wrestles with guilt and morality after a desperate act, unraveling a gripping exploration of justice, redemption, and the human soul.“Rational utopianism” – A belief that suggests through utilitarian rational calculations, we can arrive at moral truth and create a utopian socialist system of organizing people that can be perfected if this moral calculus improves over time2 Problems with rational utopianism and Russian nihilism:* (1) Consider how quickly Raskolnikov's perfectly crafted plan resulted in an innocent person getting an axe to the head; and* (2) The rational egoism that often accompanies Russian nihilism magically places Raskolnikov at the center of the decision-maker processRaskolnikov is not an example of Nietzsche's Ubermensch: Instead, he is an example of a very particular kind of nihilism that was gaining popularity in Russia at the time Dostoevsky wrote the bookYou're Not That Special: Dostoevsky was very skeptical of any individual who thought they were special compared to the people around themThe Stories We Tell Ourselves: “It is uniquely possible in this modern world to exist in a way where your whole life never becomes about facing the discomfort of looking at yourself honestly, but about endlessly rationalizing your behavior and then coming up with a story that sounds pretty good about it.” – Stephen WestSave What You Can: The choices that we have to make are not always optimal and they are often dictated by circumstances that are outside of our control; but no matter the circumstances in this sometimes horrible world, there is always at least some personal salvation that is possible in consent and affirmation of our place in a relational networkAccountability: Taking accountability for what you are wrong about is one of the only ways to grow as a person and is one of the most powerful things that you can do in your life Thank you for subscribing.

Gendered Vulnerability in Necropolitical Bordering: Displaced Men's Material and Affective Abandonment in Greece

How should we respond to the anxiety, fear, and catastrophizing of Election Day? Is there an alternative to fight, flight, or freeze? Can people of Christian conviction stand firm, grounded in faith, leaning into the storm? In this special Election Day episode of Conversing, Mark Labberton welcomes Peter Wehner (columnist, the New York Times, The Atlantic) and David Goatley (president, Fuller Seminary) to make sense of the moral, emotional, and spiritual factors operating in the 2024 US general election. Together they discuss the emotional response to political media; faithful alternatives to the overabundance of fear, anxiety, and catastrophizing; how the threat of affective polarization divides families and friendships; biblical attitudes toward troubling or frightening political and cultural events; how to respond to vitriol, anger, cynicism, hate, and manipulative language; and how the church can help restore trust and be a faithful witness, standing firm through the political storm. About Peter Wehner Peter Wehner, an American essayist, is a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times, a contributing writer for The Atlantic, and senior fellow at the Trinity Forum. He writes on politics and political ideas, on faith and culture, on foreign policy, sports, and friendships. Wehner served in three presidential administrations, including as deputy director of presidential speechwriting for President George W. Bush. Later, he served as the director of the Office of Strategic Initiatives. Wehner, a graduate of the University of Washington, is editor or author of six books, including The Death of Politics: How to Heal Our Frayed Republic After Trump, which the New York Times called “a model of conscientious political engagements.” Married and the father of three, he lives in McLean, Virginia. About David Goatley David Emmanuel Goatley is president of Fuller Seminary. Prior to his appointment in January 2023, he served as the associate dean for academic and vocational formation, Ruth W. and A. Morris Williams Jr. Research Professor of Theology and Christian Ministry, and director of the Office of Black Church Studies at Duke Divinity School. Ordained in the National Baptist Convention, USA, he served as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Campbellsville, Kentucky, for nine years (1986–1995). In addition to his articles, essays, and book chapters, Goatley is the author of Were You There? Godforsakenness in Slave Religion and A Divine Assignment: The Missiology of Wendell Clay Somerville, as well as the editor of Black Religion, Black Theology: Collected Essays of J. Deotis Roberts. His current research focuses on flourishing in ministry and thriving congregations, most recently working on projects funded by the Lilly Endowment and the Duke Endowment. Show Notes Anxiety, Uncertainty, and Worst-Case Scenarios The regular appeal to “the most important election of our lifetimes” Assuming the worst about others “We are at a fork in the road for a certain kind of vision of who we want to be.” “As an African American, many of us always live in the crosswinds.” Living with fragility, vulnerability, and uncertainty Hymn: “On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand” Anger, Antipathy, and Fear Passions and beliefs—and an electoral system built to amplify those “They're more amplified than in the past.” Families and friendships that divide over politics. Feeling like we “share a continent but not a country” Affective polarization—”There's a sense of the other side being an enemy.” Catastrophizing Recalibrate, reset, and rethink Hoping that calmer heads prevail Church splintering and aligning with partisan politics “God will use all things—not that God intends all things.” The political balance wheel “Fear is not a Christian state of mind.” “Hope is based on something real.” “The long game for believers is to hearken back to the early church and remember that Jesus is Lord, and the emperor is not.” Political toxicity that infects the household of faith “We have to do all that we can to live with peacefully with each other.” Vitriol, hubris “It's important to name things. … If you don't name them—if you try to hide them—then you can't begin the process of healing.” “Faith is subordinate to other factors that they're not aware of.” The Era of Fear: What informs our fears? What can we do about our fears? Fear of the Lord that sets us free Firmness as an alternative to fighting or fleeing “Valuing the vibrant diversity of God” “Expand your reading.” Breaking out of conformity and homogeneity “Meeting the moment”: Inflection points in a human life or a society's life—a moment for leaders to rise up, speak, and shape Example: Winston Churchill and Great Britain pre–World War II (from pariah to prime minister) Example: Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation and the agenda to make schools phone-free These aren't the conditions for human flourishing “We've got to be faithful. We may not be successful.” Cultivating a political garden to prepare the soil for shared core values of decency, respect, fairness “… what we have loved, / Others will love, and we will teach them how” (William Wordsworth, “The Prelude”) Loving the right things Voting “Complicating my view of the world.” “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Before voting: “A prayer to submit myself to the will of God.” “Tell me how you came to believe what you believe … over time it can create a feeling of trust” “What don't I see? What about my own blindspots?” Stunned by the profundity and sobering word that “God will not be mocked” Expressing convictions through voting Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.
