Why taste, touch, composition, and wisdom may become the most valuable leadership skills in the age of AI. Summary  In this episode of The Customer Service Revolution Podcast, John DiJulius interviews bestselling author Daniel Pink about the human skills that artificial intelligence cannot replace. Pink explains why AI may be powerful at generating options, but humans still need taste to know what is good, touch to create real connection, composition to allocate people and technology wisely, and wisdom to ask better questions, show humility, and lead with integrity. John and Daniel also discuss the danger of relying on AI to do the hard thinking for us, the future of soft skills, whether empathy and curiosity can be trained, why leaders need to stop managing time and start allocating talent, and how younger professionals can think about AI without fear. This conversation is a practical guide for leaders who want to use AI without losing the human edge that drives trust, service, creativity, and customer loyalty. Takeaways AI can generate options, but humans need taste. AI can produce ideas quickly, but leaders still need discernment to know what is good, relevant, beautiful, useful, and aligned with the audience. Taste is built by creating, not consuming. Daniel Pink argues that people build judgment by making things, testing ideas, receiving feedback, and learning what works. "Good enough" is a dangerous standard. AI can make average work easier. The competitive advantage belongs to people and companies who keep refining beyond good enough. Touch matters more in a digital world. Physical presence, empathy, listening, comfort, and connection become more valuable as technology handles more transactional tasks. Leaders must become composers. Future leaders will need to combine human talent, machine intelligence, and resources into something greater than the pieces alone. Wisdom is different from intelligence. Wisdom includes humility, integrity, compassion, curiosity, and the ability to ask better questions. Great questions create credibility. John and Daniel agree that credibility does not come only from having answers. It often comes from asking questions no one else has asked. AI should not replace the learning process. When people use AI to skip the first draft, the hard thinking disappears. That creates what Daniel calls the risk of "intellectual obesity." Service aptitude skills are still critical. Empathy, curiosity, connection, listening, problem-solving, and energy remain essential for customer-facing teams. AI will reconfigure jobs, not simply erase them overnight. Daniel pushes back on doom-and-gloom thinking and encourages leaders to help people identify what they can do with machines that neither humans nor machines can do alone. Quotes "AI is incredibly good at generating options. What it is less good at is figuring out what's good and what's not." — Daniel Pink "The best way to build taste is by creating stuff, not by consuming stuff." — Daniel Pink "The barrier isn't execution. The barrier is discernment." — Daniel Pink "Taste requires the courage to say no." — Daniel Pink "Good enough is the enemy." — John DiJulius "I fear AI could create a kind of intellectual obesity problem, where no one is exerting intellectual effort." — Daniel Pink "Wisdom is more valuable when intelligence is abundant." — Daniel Pink "Right answers still matter, but smart questions now matter a hell of a lot more." — Daniel Pink "It's not in the answers you give. It's in the questions you ask." — John DiJulius "Strong points of view, loosely held." — Daniel Pink "You shouldn't be booing AI. That's like booing electricity." — Daniel Pink "When something becomes plentiful, it becomes cheap." — Daniel Pink Chapters List 00:00 – Introduction to Daniel Pink John introduces Daniel Pink, bestselling author of Drive, To Sell Is Human, When, The Power of Regret, and more. 02:00 – The Human Skills AI Can't Replace John opens the conversation around AI, service aptitude, and the relationship skills younger generations need to develop. 03:19 – Skill #1: Taste Daniel explains why AI can generate ideas, but humans need judgment to know what is actually good. 04:40 – Why Taste Is Built by Creating Daniel shares why passive consumption does not build discernment and why creating work matters. 06:27 – Taste, Courage, and Saying No John and Daniel discuss Steve Jobs, leadership standards, and the courage to reject ideas that are not good enough. 07:35 – The Danger of "Good Enough" AI Work John reflects on how AI can make people lazy, and Daniel explains why no company wants people who settle for average. 08:30 – AI and Intellectual Obesity Daniel shares the risk of letting AI do the first draft and removing the learning process. 10:03 – Skill #2: Touch Daniel explains why physical presence, empathy, healthcare, trades, and human comfort still matter. 11:37 – Skill #3: Composition Daniel describes composition as the ability to combine people, machines, ideas, and resources into something better. 13:09 – The Allocation Economy John and Daniel discuss the shift from managing knowledge to allocating intelligence. 14:14 – Audit Your Calendar Daniel explains why leaders should review where human talent is being wasted on work AI could handle. 15:41 – Skill #4: Wisdom Daniel defines wisdom through humility, integrity, curiosity, compassion, and better questions. 18:02 – Why Questions Matter More Now John and Daniel discuss answer engines, credibility, and the leadership power of asking questions no one else asks. 19:26 – The Five Whys and Better Listening Daniel references the importance of questioning techniques and how questions work with taste, composition, and wisdom. 20:55 – Iteration, Speeches, and Creative Work John talks about how books and keynotes are never truly finished until the deadline arrives. 21:49 – Listen Like You're Wrong John and Daniel discuss humility, intellectual flexibility, and exploring ideas instead of defending them. 23:53 – John's 10 Service Aptitude Skills John shares TDG's core service aptitude skills and asks Daniel which ones are trainable. 27:06 – Can Empathy, Curiosity, and Energy Be Trained?

Liane Davey: Thoughtload For the past 25 years, Liane Davey has researched and advised teams on how to achieve high performance. She is the author of You First and The Good Fight and is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review. She is the author of the new book Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work (Amazon, Bookshop)*. We all love to hate our task lists. However, we can do a lot better with just a bit of strategy. In this conversation, Liane and I explore how to make our task list work for us instead of against us. Key Points Often it's not really the workload that's crushing – it's more so the thinking about all the workload. That's what thoughtload is. The problem with a to-do list is that everything goes on it. Thus, to-do lists are terrible for managing your attention. Instead of one task list, keep a limited amount of tasks on three priority lists. Category 1 list: your most important outputs and outcomes. Category 2 list: what you do to help others achieve their most significant outcomes. Category 3 list: administrative stuff. Four questions determine what gets on your lists: Important (an activity that will add value to a key output or outcome)? Urgent (something with growing negative consequences if you wait)? Targeted (a task that no one can do as efficiently or effectively as you)? Essential (core to creating the critical value, not just a nice-to-have)?

Send us Fan MailWhat if the purpose of school isn't grades, rankings, or test scores — but helping young people discover their own purpose? In this rich and wide-ranging conversation, Andy sits down with Dr. Cinde Lock, Head of Pickering College and author of Connections, Academics, and Purpose: Designing the Future of School, to explore what education can look like when it's built around real problems, genuine connection, and meaningful work. Cinde brings a rare combination: the scientific rigor of a chemistry background, leadership experience across six countries and a lifelong conviction that schools can — and must — do better by their students.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeThe Childhood That Shaped a Leader Cinde was always the new student. Moving frequently while her father quietly hid the fact that he couldn't read, she never stayed in one school long enough to remember a teacher's name before Grade 5. That experience forged in her both deep empathy for learners whose gifts go unrecognized — and a bird's-eye view of education that let her see which "non-negotiables" in one classroom weren't even mentioned in the next.The CAP Framework: Connections, Academics, Purpose At the heart of Cinde's book and her work at Pickering College is a deceptively simple shift: start with a real problem people care about, then embed the curriculum into it — not the other way around. Polluted rivers. Carbon-neutral islands. Pig scratchers for an animal sanctuary. Acoustic panels for an echoey classroom. When students genuinely care about the outcome, the learning follows naturally — and the academic results speak for themselves. At one IB school in Korea, this approach helped lift results into the top 1% globally.Redefining What School Is For What if the purpose of school is to help kids find purpose? Cinde is building a tech framework at Pickering College that gives students a real menu of authentic projects, allows them to map their own learning (including outside achievements like music grades), and pursue "minors" and "majors" — going deeper where they're most alive. This is agency in practice, not just in theory.The Changing Role of the Teacher In a world where students have AI and global information at their fingertips, Cinde argues the teacher as sole expert no longer holds. The role shifts to coach, co-learner, connector, and critical thinker — someone who pushes students further and guards the deeply human dimensions of learning that technology can't replace.Regret, Connection, and the Ghosts We Carry Drawing on Denzel Washington's "ghosts of unfulfilled potential" and Daniel Pink's research on regret, Andy and Cinde explore what we leave unfinished — particularly in relationships. Her biggest regrets aren't about missed opportunities, but about people in different countries who shaped her deeply and drifted away with time and distance. The episode closes with a quiet but powerful invitation: think of someone who changed your life, and reach out.Key TakeawaysReal-world problems are the best entry point into deep learning — curriculum follows context, not the other way aroundStudent agency isn't a program you add on; it's a philosophy that changes everything, from how you plan to how you assessThe "soft skills" — empathy, connection, emotional intelligence — are actually the hardest, and schools need to prioritize them more as technology acceleratesMeaningful change takes patience; leaders must meet people where they are, not where they wish they wereConnection regrets are among the most common and most painful — and a short message of gratitude can be a powerful act for both the sender and the receiverAbout Dr. Cinde Lock Dr. Cinde Lock is the Head of Pickering College and the author of Connections, Academics, and Purpose: Designing the Future of School. With a background in chemistry and leadership experience across six countries, she has spent her career reimagining what school can look like when it's built around human connection, real-world relevance, and student purpose.Connect with Cinde: Cinde's WebsiteWhere to find her bookPickering CollegeLinkedIn

In this episode of Paradigm Shifting Books, hosts Stephen Covey and Britain Covey dive into Daniel Pink's groundbreaking book Drive, which challenges everything we think we know about what motivates people. They explore why the traditional "carrot and stick" approach to motivation works for some tasks but actively undermines the kind of complex, creative work that defines most of what we do today. Drawing on decades of social science research, Pink lays out a compelling framework for understanding what truly drives human performance.Stephen and Britain reflect on how these ideas apply far beyond the office, from NFL locker rooms to families to personal growth. Britain shares a vivid story from his time as a scout team player in the NFL, illustrating how a simple moment of recognition from a coach unlocked a sense of purpose he had not felt before. Stephen ties the book's core principles, autonomy, mastery, and purpose, directly to leadership, noting that when leaders design environments around these three drivers, motivation follows naturally. This episode is a must listen for anyone who leads a team, raises a family, or simply wants to understand what makes us do our best work.What We Discuss[00:00] Introduction[00:35] Why Dan Wrote Drive[02:11] Carrots Sticks Problem[04:10] If Then Rewards: When They Work and When They Don't[06:43] Money as a Threshold Motivator, Not the Whole Story[13:09] Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose: The Three Core Motivators[16:00] NFL Story on Purpose[18:33] Connecting Drive to Leadership, Sports, and Life[21:05] Resume Virtues vs. Eulogy Virtues: Redefining Success Notable Quotes[04:30] "If-then rewards are very effective for simple tasks with short time horizons." – Daniel Pink[06:17] "The problem with if-then rewards is not the reward, it's the contingency, the if-thenness of it. Because if-thenness is a form of control." – Daniel Pink[08:37] "The best use of money as a motivator is to pay people enough to take the issue of money off the table." – Daniel Pink[13:14] "Once you're through the threshold, there are three core motivators for long-term performance on complex tasks: autonomy, mastery, and purpose." – Daniel Pink[22:59] "Find something you care about and get really good at it, because the act of getting good at something you care about is inherently satisfying." – Daniel PinkResourcesParadigm Shifting BooksPodcastInstagram YouTube BookDrive by Daniel Pink Daniel PinkWebsiteInstagramLinkedInYouTubeBritain CoveyLinkedIn InstagramStephen H.

When was the last time you thought about something you wish you'd done differently?  A relationship you let drift apart. A mistake you wish you could take back. A conversation you keep putting off. A decision that you now realize was the wrong one.  You're not alone. Regret is actually one of the most common emotions people experience – and it's the most misunderstood.  That's why Mel invited Daniel Pink, one of the most influential thinkers and authors of our time, to share the findings of his World Regret Survey, the largest study of human regret ever conducted, analyzing more than 26,000 regrets from people across 134 countries.  After analyzing regrets from all around the world, his research has found that there are 4 core types of regrets, and based on what kind of regret you're dealing with, there are specific strategies that you can use to process it, learn from it, and move forward.  You're also going to be inspired to take action after hearing what other people regret the most, so you can live in a way that will avoid these regrets for yourself.  In this episode, you'll learn: -The 4 types of regret and how to recognize yours -The one type of regret that shows up more than any other -Why the things you didn't do will haunt you far more than the things you did, and what that tells you to go do today -Daniel's 3-step reset to stop repeating the same patterns and start moving forward -One simple move you can make today to stop repeating the same regret pattern This is not a conversation about the past. It's a conversation about what you do next. Because after studying 26,000 regrets, the answer is clear: You can't change what happened. You can change what happens next.

As life grows increasingly complex, exemplified today by the risk and promise of artificial intelligence, it can be easy to become frozen with overthinking about the next steps, says author Daniel Pink. But sometimes life demands more action and less analysis, he believes. Speaking to Leader's Edge Editor in Chief Sandy Laycox and Podcast Producer Zach Ewell at The Council's Operations Leadership Forum, Pink talks through different ways to approach our lives during this “fricking weird” state of the world. From figuring out how to stay motivated without false optimism, writing down the things we want to stop doing, or learning how to give better feedback, Pink shares useful and well-researched advice for daily life.

Forty Colombian farmers sat looking at her, completely unimpressed, when the cartel boss in the back of the room opened a case and a drone flew up out of it. In this episode, I sit down with Attia Qureshi, the negotiation teacher who learned her craft running State Department conflict-resolution work in cartel-controlled coca regions of Colombia, and who now teaches at the University of Michigan after a stint at MIT Sloan. Her new book Never Settle, with a foreword by Sheila Heen and endorsements from Daniel Pink, Robert Cialdini, and Chris Voss, hits shelves next week. The thing I love about her work is that she does not treat negotiation as a boardroom sport. She treats it as a daily relationship skill, the kind you practice with your barista so it is already in your hands when something hard comes up at home. In This Episode The four-step sequence Attia used to reset a room of 40 unimpressed farmers and a cartel boss with a drone, and how the same four steps work in your kitchen tonight Why "take out the trash" is the position and not the actual ask, and the one-sentence reframe that changes how you fight about household chores The fifth-grade bullying story that produced the hard shell most of us are still wearing into adulthood The seven-word test that tells you whether you are influencing someone or manipulating them Why the freeze you feel when you try to speak up is physiology, not personality, and what to do about it in real time How to know when you are giving too much to a taker, and the experiment Attia recommends before you decide to cut losses The literal glass of lemonade that turned a hostile next-door neighbor into a friendly one, and the Cialdini-backed science underneath it Why This Matters This episode is for anyone who knows what they want and goes quiet when it is time to ask. For anyone stuck in a loop with a difficult coworker or in-law that has been the same loop for three years. For anyone who has tried the assertive thing once and the people-pleasing thing once and is exhausted by both, and who wants a path that does not require a personality transplant.

Send us Fan MailThis episode of Four Times Mindfulness is an honest conversation between Andy Vasily and Neila Steele about the coping mechanisms we cling to, the regrets that quietly reveal our values, and the relationships that remind us who we are.Four Seeds. Four Takeaways.1. Identify your coping mechanism. We all carry behaviors that once kept us afloat — people-pleasing, numbing, withdrawing — but now hold us back from the shore. The work isn't to drop the log overnight. It's to loosen your grip, slowly and with self-compassion, until you trust yourself enough to let go.2. Let your regrets teach you. Author Daniel Pink's research shows that our deepest regrets — around foundation, boldness, morality, and connection — are actually a map of what we value most. Stop bypassing them with shame. Sit with them long enough and they'll point you straight back to your core values.3. Be a companion, not a rescuer. When someone you love is struggling, the most powerful thing you can offer isn't advice or solutions. It's presence. A hand. A quiet willingness to sit beside them in the dark.4. Don't let the flame quietly go out. When we stop pursuing genuine meaning — in our relationships, our purpose, our inner life — something in us slowly erodes. Andy's reminder: double down on what lights you up and who you want to become. Connection is often where that starts.Books & Resources Mentioned:Eating in the Light of the Moon — Anita JohnstonThe Power of Regret — Daniel PinkLove Bites — Ila Edgar (in memory)The Wisdom of Alignment — Andy Vasily (releasing June 1)FOPO (Fear of Other People's Opinions) — Dr. Michael GervaisConnect With Andy and NeilaNeila: LinkedIn Andy: LinkedIn

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:01  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the strategically bold convo I had with Molly Asplin in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, you can hit pause and go listen to that one, and then listen to this one. If you like to hear the ending first, I don't blame you. I love that. I do that too. Brad Crowell 1:23  She literally does that. Lesley Logan 1:24  I do. I actually tried to get my client today we're talking about the new Love is Blind season. And I was like, I'm only on episode three. She's like, well, I won't ruin it for you, because it's like, obviously she's all the way to Mexico. And those who know Love is Blind know what I'm talking about. And I was like, I don't even remember the names. You could tell what's going on. She's like, No, I don't want to ruin it for you. And I was like, you, I'm gonna Google it like, I know that there's ways to find out who stays together before the recap. So you can ruin it. Brad Crowell 1:49  Ruin it. Lesley Logan 1:50  Except for, you know, what? Brad Crowell 1:52  What? Lesley Logan 1:52  I thought that I would watch glitter and gold documentary, and I would just be okay, a little late to the Olympics, because, you know, I'll just watch it later. Like, not a big deal. You can just Google it later. And then we were listening to a podcast has nothing to do with sports, and they ruined it. Brad Crowell 1:53  Oh, I was laughing at you, because you Google everything. Lesley Logan 1:54  I know, but I hadn't Googled that because I was, like, I was trying to do it the way you wanted me to, and they ruined it. And, you know, when they ruined it, I'm just gonna tell you all in case, I'm gonna ruin it for you now, because you know what it's fucking March. You should know. I know the villains won like the villains won. Anyways.Brad Crowell 2:30  The villains won. Lesley Logan 2:31  Today is March 19th 2026, and it's Companies That Care Day. Companies That Care Day celebrate on the third Thursday in March to encourage employers to start caring for their employees instead of overworking or exploiting them. This year, that would be today. Yes, the happier the employees, the more productive they will be. Most importantly, employers must keep in mind that both physical and mental health can have an impact on the performance of workers. Hence, to have a long lasting there's a comma hence, to have a long lasting workforce that can produce quality work, employees must show that they care. This includes celebrating the success of the employees or honoring them in their great contribution to the company. We kick ass. I think, as best we can at this, I also think that if, like, more companies didn't have to make sure their shareholders were happy, they would make sure their employees are happy. Brad Crowell 3:13  Yeah, I know it's, that's weird, right? Lesley Logan 3:15  You wanna know what's really weird. I just saw a reel where they asked all the like head CEOs of the top health insurance companies, like, if they're publicly traded, raise your hand. They're all publicly traded. Okay, keep your hand raised if you also own a pharmacy. Keep your hand raised if you also own doctor's offices. So the health insurance companies and the states, of course, they are not only publicly traded, which means they have to make sure that they are doing as what they can for profit margins for their stakeholders, but then they own the doctor's offices who prescribe the prescriptions, that own the pharmacies that fill the prescriptions, which means they're in charge of whatever you pay, whether you pay or not, right? It was abhorrent. Brad Crowell 3:59  That makes it a monopoly. They own every part of the chain. Lesley Logan 4:03  Right. Disgusting. Anyway, we. Brad Crowell 4:03  Fascinating. Capitalism at its finest. Lesley Logan 4:04  Yeah? And here's the thing I'm not like, if you are a small business owner in this capitalist society, we do have to play with by the rules that are made. Your IRS is going to want to make sure that you are doing something that's profiting every year. Otherwise, they call it a hobby, but in that, there are ways to make sure that your employees are thought of and not overworked.Brad Crowell 4:29  I was gonna say that those guys are breaking the rules or not playing, or they have no rules for their game they're playing. Not cool, but I, but I agree shifting back here to focusing on companies that care.Lesley Logan 4:41  There's things you can do. There's this one female business owner that she forces the company to be closed one week per quarter. It's built into the schedules. They don't have meetings on there. That way, whatever employees need to do, they can do. Obviously, they could take vacation times other times. But like, you know that's gonna compound their work. But they have that to guarantee. The other thing that they have, they have paid family leave for all parents, no matter the gender. And they also have leave if you had to go to a hospital for sickness, things like that. Like they have all this extra leave. And also, you can take your meetings from anywhere. It's a rule. Wherever you want to take a meeting, you can take a meeting as long as you get your work done, it doesn't matter. That's one way you could do it. We have a wins channel, oh, it's a wins and gratitude channel where, like, different people on our team just thank each other for, like, what they're doing. It's super fun. We celebrate everyone's birthdays on there. And the win isn't like, oh, we nailed this launch. It's like, hey, so and so helped me with this project. And like, that is really fun. We really pride ourselves in that we built in, like, donating. It's not huge numbers. Like, no one's gonna, you know, go a wow, or put Lesley and Brad on the on the wall. But like, we built that in, like, there's ways to do things that make sure that you care in different ways. You just have to build it in. And then you do when you can do better, you do better, you know, so.Brad Crowell 5:53  100% agree, 100% and it's fun. I mean, honestly, it's been a dream of mine to have a team of capable, enthusiastic, yeah, human beings who are experts at what they do, and bring them all together. And it's been really, really fun to make that dream a reality.Lesley Logan 6:16  It's really cool. It's forced. It's also forced us, like, if we want our people to not overwork and get their work done in a timely manner, so they can be happy with their families and be we've had so many people on our team have babies and things like that, then that means we, too can, like, we have to show them that we take time for ourselves. Because otherwise, if they're like, if the boss never stops working, then I can never stop working, right? So those that's another way to care in a company like, if you're like, I don't have any extra. Brad Crowell 6:39  Lead by example. Lesley Logan 6:39  Extra money right now, then lead by example of what you want them to do, and you'll and then you'll build that in. And then the other thing is, like, that means we also hire people who care. You know, we're we were just talking today. This is, you know, you're hearing this in a month ago, month. I don't know. We're in the past, we're in the (inaudible), but we're trying to refill three jobs, and we're struggling to find people that actually aren't just using AI to answer all of the questions. Yeah, it's like, I love that you know how to use AI, but this job that you're gonna do doesn't use it and your personality matters.Brad Crowell 7:09  Well, it can, but that's not the point. We want to know you. Lesley Logan 7:12  Right, well, we're big fans of hiring a personality and trained skills. So like, if you are a bot, then I'm so sorry. We have a bot. We don't need a bot. We need a person who's cool. Anyways.Brad Crowell 7:26  Come hang out with us in Poland, March. We're gonna be there.Lesley Logan 7:30  Yeah, actually, Brad, it's March 19th. Brad Crowell 7:31  Come hang around with us tomorrow in Poland. Because that's where we are right now. Lesley Logan 7:36  Come to the event in Poland. Brad Crowell 7:38  We may or may not have recorded this in the past future. Lesley Logan 7:40  Yeah, and next week you can join us in Bruges, which I've been calling Brussels this whole time. And, well, it'll be in Bruges so.Brad Crowell 7:47  It's near, it's near. Lesley Logan 7:49  I think so also, I also wish I had known that, because, like, people said we're gonna be in Brussels. And then she said, Bruges, I'm like, there's a whole movie. We all saw it. Very hot actor, of course, we saw it. Brad Crowell 7:59  We did? Lesley Logan 7:59  Yes, Colin Farrel, Colin Farrel, right. That's a hot one. That's a hot Colin, right? Brad Crowell 8:00  Hot. Sure. Lesley Logan 8:04  Well, because there's the Colin Firth, not hot, but very great actor, then there's Colin. Is it Colin Farrell? What's his name? Brad Crowell 8:13  I don't know the movie. Lesley Logan 8:15  The movie is called, oh, I'm just messing with my camera. The team hates me, In Bruges.Brad Crowell 8:21  In Bruges is hold on. Lesley Logan 8:25  2008 Yeah, Colin Farrell. Brad Crowell 8:27  I have never seen this.Lesley Logan 8:28  Oh my god. It's so up your alley. It's totally up your alley. I can't believe you haven't seen it. I've seen it so many times. Brad Crowell 8:33  It's about a hit man who shoots people. Lesley Logan 8:34  Yeah, probably not gonna watch. Brad Crowell 8:36  I'm gonna watch that tonight. Lesley Logan 8:37  Go watch it tonight. Okay. And then. Brad Crowell 8:38  I will report back to decide if he's as hot as we're thinking is, I don't know if it's Colin Farrell. Lesley Logan 8:46  Yeah. Then after our second honeymoon in France, which we still haven't planned, but hopefully by the time you're hearing this, we have some idea, we'll be in London for Balanced Bodies On Tour, Pilates On Tour at the time recording this the last I heard about my my workshop says there's only room in the Sunday one, there's a few spots left xxll.co/POTis London. So you want to go to that, guys, we probably won't be in Europe for a while, and I don't say that to frighten you. Brad Crowell 9:14  Yeah, no, I think that's fair. I mean. Lesley Logan 9:16  Transparency and honesty are part of our value system. Brad Crowell 9:19  Here's the reality is, I'm very excited about the idea of going to Australia and New Zealand. We haven't done that together. You have. I have not. And I would love to go. And not only that, I want to spend time driving around in circles in Australia. That one's on my bucket list. Lesley Logan 9:33  Yeah. Yeah, and if you're like, oh my god, when are you coming? This is not planned. This is just, we're putting it out in the universe.Brad Crowell 9:39  What that means is that, if we're going there, that means we're not going here. It's what that ultimately means. And we are going to Cambodia, because we literally put down roots there. So, that will always be on the on the list but.Lesley Logan 9:50  Spring training is in May, and that is online. So if you're like, guys, I can't get on the plane anywhere, I don't have the funds or the time, or whatever, Spring Training, it's going to be all about getting overhead. If you're an OPC member, it will be free for you. You just have to register. Well make sure you check your email for how to do that. If you're not an OPC member yet, you can turn into one and then get it for free, or you can pay for it and then fall in love with us and turn into one, opc.me/events is all your what you want to want to do, so make sure you get the early bird information.Lesley Logan 10:13  Yeah, that'll put you on the wait list. Yeah. opc.me/events, so.Lesley Logan 10:23  Well, we have taken our sweet time getting into this interview, but we still have to answer an audience question. Brad Crowell 10:28  Yeah. So actually, RawsomeYoga from Instagram is asking, hey dou run your biz as an S Corp or an LLC? Lesley Logan 10:37  I actually love this question, because so many people we in our Profitable Pilates coaching years, we've been doing for a very long time. So many people say, my accountant says I don't make enough money. This is obviously, for the people in the States, I don't make enough money to be an S corp and LLC, so I'm a sole proprietor and Brad, why is that, Brad?Brad Crowell 10:57  Oh, I mean, first off, high level, I'm gonna, I'm gonna step back and try to keep this really simple, risk. It's all about risk management. Okay? And what do we mean by that? If the rest, if you're, if you're not in the United States, you're probably laughing, because everyone here likes to sue each other, and so. Lesley Logan 11:14  There's a lawyer for every 100 people.Brad Crowell 11:17  That's insane. Ridiculous. That's insane.Lesley Logan 11:21  Have you met a happy lawyer? Not me. They all become Pilates instructors. So anyways, so to go to just keep going risk is a thing. So if you're a sole proprietor and someone gets hurt doing Pilates with you, and you're in the States and you're a sole proprietor, that means your personal assets become part of what they can take advantage of. And so you want to be an S Corp or an LLC, they have there's different reasons to want to be one or the other, and I don't think we need to bore anybody with this, but you should already have been doing that. If you are a fitness instructor who takes money from clients to teach fitness, I don't care what your accountant says. They are not a lawyer. They're not a lawyer. So you want to pick one of those. Now in California, I can say we weren't S Corp, which was very nice for California and Nevada, I think we are. Brad Crowell 12:12  There's a couple of things to understand here too. Is that when people say S Corp versus LLC, technically they're confusing two things. Okay, so it's actually Corporation versus Limited Liability Corporation or LLC. So it's C Corp versus LLC, you can actually have the S election on both of them. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. So that is a conversation to have with your accountant. Why would you have an S Corp or an S LLC? That's a conversation that you should have with them, because that depends on a lot of different factors, right? But typically, what we're what we mean when we say, Oh, I have an S Corp, it means we have C Corp, a corporation with an S election for the federal government's, you know, understanding. And the reason that we would do that is because it's just a different way of being taxed. Okay, so again, that's why you'd have this conversation with the with your accountant. But high level, you know, the pros of an LLC are that it's, it can be owned by one person, it can be owned by multiple people, but all profits are subject to self employment tax. So like, that's where, this is where the big conversation is, how are you paying yourself? How are you paying your team? Do you have a team? You know, pros for an LLC is that it's simple, relatively flexible. The cons of an LLC, well, it traditionally was that, you know, and this is hearsay, because I don't have any proof on this, but the new guy at the IRS who was doing audits was always going through the LLCs. They were very rarely going through the corporations. Corporations are typically larger companies.Lesley Logan 13:48  Yes, that's what my accountant told me when he brought me into his office. You never want to get called in. Calls me in, done my taxes for like, two years, and he's like, Hey, we have to change how you're filing, because you're gonna get audited. Because people get audited the most are sole proprietors, and they are the bottom of the totem Well, actually, can't say that, because the bottom of the totem pole is the best of the people. I was just educated. So they are the youngest, newest. They've not like. All they do is like these and so, and they're easy, like, kind of, kind of be an asshole and audit you because you're a sole proprietor, and it's not a ton of stuff to go through, whereas the people who are auditing the S corps or the corporations they have supposedly have had more experience. So they understand that corporations have multiple locations for rent. They understand that corporations have multiple different types of write offs. So I chose a corporate because I was like, I want the best. I want to I want.Brad Crowell 14:40  Well also about that time we weren't married and you didn't have, like, the the there's a very clear tax benefit to having a multi member LLC versus a single member LLC. I remember this whole conversation, so because you didn't have a partner, no, then you went in the corporation route because it was better for taxing. So and then eventually.Lesley Logan 15:01  And then you proposed a month later. And I was like, Well, me, that would have been nice information a month ago. But at any rate, whatever you choose is going to be a conversation about your growth strategy, your goals for your business, with your accountant, and if you have an accountant that says you don't, you shouldn't do either of these. You should get a new accountant, because that person does not understand the risk, and they also are clearly not understanding, like your growth strategy.Brad Crowell 15:25  Yeah, no, I do want to clarify. If you're an employee for someone. Lesley Logan 15:28  Oh, this doesn't matter. Brad Crowell 15:29  Yeah, none of this matter, because you you know. And what I mean to say is, if you are only an employee for someone, if you're still taking clients on the side, this matters, but if you are not taking clients on the side, and you're an employee for someone, then what you need is just typical teacher liability insurance and youre, yeah, the studio.Lesley Logan 15:49  Make sure that you are classified as an actual employee. Oh, this is because way too many this pisses me off. It really pisses me off. Way too many studios are misclassifying their teachers as 1099s, right? Yeah. They're not W2. Brad Crowell 16:06  They're, correct. So what is that for people have no idea what we mean, so they're not employee versus contract. Lesley Logan 16:11  So they're treating like a contract. Brad Crowell 16:13  So if you are an ICA or an independent contractor, oh, IC, sorry. Brad Crowell 16:18  Yeah, an IC, that you so I don't a true IC means you make your own schedule, you have your own insurance, you have your own waivers. You take the payments, you decide how much money you're charging. True, true, true. You would have already even part of the conversation Brad and I had already. If you think you're an employee somewhere, but they are treating you like an IC as far as taxes go, and they are trying to sell to you like it's better for you, because it means you get write offs. Get write offs. You actually are under that risk part that makes me really nervous and then you would need to. Brad Crowell 16:46  Now we're talking like, should you have a company so that you can protect your own, like, house, car, 401(K) whatever.Lesley Logan 16:48  Let's say the equipment at the studio you're at breaks.Brad Crowell 16:55  Let me just finish my thought, is that if you're an employee, and only an employee and a proper W2 employee, then the studio has the insurance. So if, if someone were to sue, they wouldn't be suing me, Brad, the employee, they might. I might be named in the suit, but really, they're suing the company. Lesley Logan 17:16  Yeah, the company's insurance would do it, yeah. Brad Crowell 17:17  So then, so, yeah, that's the big difference.Lesley Logan 17:20  So you can see why I get really, like, I get really pissed when people are misclassified because you don't understand the liability that you're set under, and then they try to cloak it in, oh, it's better for you. It's it could be, yeah, if you know that, and you are insured properly, and your business is set up properly, sure.Brad Crowell 17:37  Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, hey, that was, that was welcome to Brad time.Lesley Logan 17:40  Send your question. These are things we do at Agency, by the way, in our office hours.

I'm happy to celebrate in the DMs with you, but, like, also, you won't hear it on the pod, because I won't know if I can.Brad Crowell 18:34  Yeah, so be it pod.com/questions. All right, stick around. We'll be right back. We're going to talk about Molly Asplin, and we're going to dig into, you know, why she has her podcast, what she does and how she is kicking ass and taking names. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 18:49  Welcome back. Welcome back. Let's talk about Molly Asplin. Molly is the host of the Dream It, Do It podcast, and a high performance coach who works with the with high achieving women who feel like there's something more or something different for their lives and careers than what they're currently doing and and I'm already like, ready to jump into the conversation, because I thought it was a really amazing thing to be a distinguish between over achieving and high achieving. Love this. Okay, anyway, after spending 10 years in corporate finance, she made the shift into coaching and now supports women in exploring what they're truly good at, what they enjoy, and how they bring more of that into the work and life that they love, whether they're pivoting into something new or finding fulfillment where they are. Lesley Logan 19:33  So yeah, I mean, I want to jump in on what you were saying. Because, like, I actually have only ever heard of overachieving, right? So when I heard the word high achieving, I was like, is that just like a rebrand of overachieving, but it's not. It's it's not. And as a recovering overachiever and perfectionist, I actually was like, Oh, I could still want to achieve things and not end up in my addiction. So, right? Like, I.Brad Crowell 20:05  I feel like, I feel like, you know, like, if you compared it to this idea of high performance, we've probably heard of high performance athlete, usually is, what is the next word that comes, you know, but, but it's very rare that you hear of over performance athlete. No, he don't, well, I mean, I mean, probably just because no one uses that phrase, but I think there certainly are those kinds of people.Lesley Logan 20:26  Well, anyway, she said, I think it was, I think it was I liked, that we finally got to, like, address that. Because I don't think on any of the episodes of having someone talk about, like, performance and achievement, that, like, we distinguish the difference between the two, and I think that that's really helpful. And then she also said, like, a lot of times with high achievers, and I would say, I would also say, with the overachievers, we, they. I said we, because hello, associate loyalty with strength. Like you say to yourself, I need to stick this out. I'm a loyal person. And this is something that, like, I come across a lot of times with. I just had a coaching call with one of our members, and she's like, Oh, this person's leaving in May. And I'm like, are they bringing you any benefit right now? No, it's costing me a lot of money right now. Why are they staying until May? Well, I mean, I told her she could, like the loyalty part of it, and I'm like, no, no, no, there's nothing. There's no law that says you have to do that. They're an employee at an at will state. Like, you can say, thank you so much for your time. This will be your last date. But, like, I understand this from a different perspective, and I'll share it like I think it's on episode.Brad Crowell 21:31  Y'all were talking about burnout, right, and being the person who is an overachiever, being in the environment, and then what are the story that we tell ourselves? We tell ourselves, well, you know, we might not even be like explicitly saying I'm loyal, but that's how I used to define myself. I'm loyal to a fault. Yes, well, the irony is that it was my own fault. I was hurting myself.Lesley Logan 21:58  I think companies that care come in as well, because like, so companies that don't care will take people like you and I, who are like, Oh, I'll help with that. Oh I'll help with that, and they won't go, wow, that person is taking on a lot. Maybe we should take some things off of their plate so that they can do these things, right?Brad Crowell 22:14  I literally just had this conversation with someone on our team who's like, this project is shifting, and in the interim it will, it'll basically come back to me, and I'll be handling this role of it. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, I, that is not, that's not for you, that shouldn't be for you, and I'm grateful that you're willing to do it, but that's that's the wrong your efforts are better than that, like, bigger than that. Or, you know, the way you think is bigger than that. So how do we adjust it so that this doesn't land back on your plate? It shouldn't. Lesley Logan 22:50  Right and so I think, like, if you're someone who's like, because you said you would do it, you're having a hard time taking yourself away from it. Or you're finding yourself going, Oh, once this happens, then I'll give my notice. Or once this happens, then I'll break up with this person. Or once this happens, then I'll it's like the reality is, is like that somewhere in the waiting till this happens, you will take on something else for them and or something else. And so it's really important that you understand you can still be loyal and strong and a committed team member and stop doing it, like you can't, there's conversations that might have to be had, there's things, but I think it's important to, like, at least spot it in yourself, so that you can recognize when you're doing it. Yeah, and something that I'm having a hard time with in my own life is like, I know that I'm someone who is very present when I'm with you, like I try really, really hard to when a friend visits or a family member is visiting, not so much with people I live with, but the people who are visiting they're really hard to clear my schedule be really intentional about them knowing how much time I have all these different things, which means that I might not respond to a text for a bit, because I I can't be present in the conversation at the time. I would have to, like, sit down, think about it, answer it. I can't just read it and move on. Like, I have to, I have to close the loop, right? That's who I am and so.Brad Crowell 24:11  Well, also, too, it's not just that. It's like, it's like, if you're gonna say something and then that, you know they're gonna respond back, but you know you won't be able to get to that response, like.Lesley Logan 24:21  I can't do it. I That's not wrong. That's just like, like, I can't be there for the ping-ponging back and forth. And so for me, I am really trying to honor that about myself. I'm a high achiever. I don't want to be overachiever. Brad Crowell 24:41  You know, that's how they used to sell Slack. That was literally the the selling point. Lesley Logan 24:45  Keep the ping-pong going. Brad Crowell 24:45  Yep, no, well, not the key, not that wasn't, they didn't say it like that, but it was effectively like, you get to it when you when you can get to it. Oh, and that was like the selling point was like, Oh yeah, they can leave you a message. You can come circle back when you're ready.Lesley Logan 24:52  That is also how Slack feels for like, to me, and text messages feel like you're supposed to respond, you know, so, like, because I can't, because I'm working on just like, not over committing myself, I'm not responding, which is, in turn, you know, some people don't like that, because that's effect that's changing the boundaries and the status quo that they're used to. And I am working really hard and going it doesn't mean I'm not loyal to them. It doesn't mean I don't love them. It just means I can't do it right now. So I'm just sending that to you because, like, if you're trying to recalibrate, which is what Molly talked about. She said, if you find yourself defending what you're doing more than you're enjoying it, complaining about it a lot, but you're just fine at the same time, it might be time to recalibrate. And I think that recalibration means like, not just like going to a hotel and like getting a spa weekend and like, yes, or just that time, take some time to go okay, what? What can I change here? What can I share here? What can I ask for help on? Can I say, Hey, I know I said I could do this. It's taking a little more bandwidth than I thought. Is it possible to get some help on these things or postpone these due dates if you told family members you would do something, and that is like actually becoming something that you're frustrated by? Is it possible say, Hey guys, unless somebody really wants to do this, do you mind if I like, cater it? Do you mind if I like, is there someone else? Like, it's okay.Brad Crowell 26:04  Asynchronous communication tool is what that is called, by the way, down this rabbit hole.Lesley Logan 26:09  I heard the typing. I was like, what is he doing? What did I say? Anyways, I just, I just want to say, if, if this episode resonated with you. Hello, I see you. I see you. And you're still loyal, and you're still an amazing, committed person, even if you are taking step backs from things, taking more time on things, asking for space on things, it doesn't mean you're an asshole.Brad Crowell 26:33  Doesn't mean you're an asshole. Love that. Lesley Logan 26:35  Yeah, that's my next book. You're not an asshole. You need space.Brad Crowell 26:43  Well, I really loved when she was talking about high achievers, who are generally good at time blocking and getting stuff done, but they're actually not great at. Lesley Logan 26:53  They're not, naturally. Brad Crowell 26:55  They're not managing their energy well. So while they might be like, Okay, I'm blocking out this time to do this, I'm blocking out that time to do that.Lesley Logan 27:05  Brad, this isn't This is insane. This is, like, literally every single woman that we work with,Brad Crowell 27:10  Oh, I was gonna say it's very much me, too. Lesley Logan 27:11  Yeah, they're, you're, they're so good at time blocking, but not necessarily putting the blocks of time when the energy is there.Brad Crowell 27:19  And specifically what she was talking about, and this is what made me laugh, is it's one of I've heard this a million times, but for some reason this really stood out to me this time was when you're thinking what your brain is like at the best capacity, relatively early in your day, in the morning, And that's like science, right? So.Lesley Logan 27:42  Unless you're an owl, there's owls and larks and. Brad Crowell 27:44  Well, for sure that, for sure that is me. Lesley Logan 27:47  Daniel Pink wrote a book. I can't tell you which book it is, but you can just look up which one has time management there. And he explains there is, like, a small percentage of population who are naturally designed to be night people, but most people are beginning of the day.Brad Crowell 28:02  His book is called When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, 2018. So, When. Lesley Logan 28:09  You know what, it's crazy, I can remember when he said that in a podcast, and where I was walking home to our apartment in LA, but the title of the book not in there.Brad Crowell 28:18  Well, well anyway, so most high achievers are taking their morning when their brains are the best, you know, like processing time, and they're using it for dumb things like responding to emails or random things that set them down a side trail, when instead they shouldn't be focusing on like the big project that's going to move the ball forward on the company. Lesley Logan 28:43  I think that's the eat the frog mantra, right? There's the eat the frog first you do the big thing in the earlier part of your day.Brad Crowell 28:49  Yeah or, you know, hug the cactus, yeah. But, but the you're right, it's the eat the frog concept of, like, all right, get it out of the way, because your brain is functioning the best then, but we are letting ourselves be be taken down these other random trails by stuff that is not.Lesley Logan 29:09  After lunch, after I've had lunch.Brad Crowell 29:13  I mean, think about it, from the studio.Lesley Logan 29:15  I am the worst, the worst at creative stuff after I've had a lunch. Like, I, I'm a little different now that we've had the Adderall. I'm not gonna lie, like I actually wasn't pretty impressed myself what I did in the afternoon. But I naturally the I'm good at teaching and coaching. I can actually really present and pour into somebody else, but to, like, creatively, think about some project. No, no, that would be a good time for me to do my emails if I had to.Brad Crowell 29:42  Yeah, today was really interesting. I actually did my that kind of stuff, Slack, emails at the end of the day. Lesley Logan 29:49  Do you like it? Brad Crowell 29:49  Yeah, actually, I thought it was good. I mean, it didn't set me up for the phone call I had at five o'clock but. Lesley Logan 29:55  But it's a new system, so, you just said now, you had to figure that out. Brad Crowell 29:59  Yeah that was the first time I was like, oh, oops. Anyway, the point is that if you have a bigger project that's going to move the company forward, you want to do it in the day, like for studio owners, imagine, you know, waking up in the morning and the first thing you do is, like, pull out the dust pan and broom and you sweep the studio. You're like, wasting your brain on the on something that is just mundane. Lesley Logan 30:20  And just in case you're not a company or a studio owner, this could be, like, life stuff, you know, like a lot of people on the weekends are like, oh, I want to do this big thing. I want to, like, clean out my closet. But you don't do that in the morning. You like, go grocery shopping, you organize the clean the kitchen. Like, in fact, if you were to do that in the beginning part of your day, when you have a lot more energy, and then you did the other stuff at the slower time, it would be better. Brad Crowell 30:46  Yeah. Well, you know. Lesley Logan 30:48  I mean, Molly can tell you how to manage your time. What we're saying is, if you're listening to this podcast, you're probably someone who time blocks the fuck out of your life and doesn't have the energy to do what you've time blocked. Here's your sign. Brad Crowell 30:59  You know, I mean, also too, we're so distracted, right? It's so easy for like, I can't tell you how many times I actually caught myself today, which is really interesting, that I hopped on to dig into Slack, the chat, you know, to get through everything for the team. The first thing I did took me to my email, which took me to this other thing, took me this other thing, took me to this other thing. And then, like, all of a sudden, 10 or 15 minutes had gone by. I was like, what was I even doing? Oh, I literally got to one message in what I was trying to do, which was Slack, right? It's like, oh, okay, hold on. I'm this is not a win. Like, also, too, I the notifications on my phone, if my phone is up, it's like, every every two minutes. So like minimizing those that's important to do you know, but effectively, when you know this about yourself, if you can reorient your projects so that your morning or your when your peak time that your brain is functioning is when you're doing the thing that needs to actually happen to get things done, you're going to love life so much better. Yeah. All right, stick around. We'll be right back, because we're going to dig into those Be It Action Items that we got from Molly Asplin in a moment. Brad Crowell 32:09  All right. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items, what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your conversation with Molly Asplin? She was talking about pivoting to something new, like changing things, you know, in mid stride. Pivoting usually is like, I'm going this way and now I'm changing it to go that way, right? So she's saying that it's not about taking this big leap immediately. For her, she did it in a little bit more of a thoughtful way. She said, you usually already know what your next bold move is, just kind of inherently know. But the question is, when are we ready to tackle that thing right? And it's very easy to say, I'm going to get to say, I'm going to get to it, I'm going to get to it, I'm going to get to it. So how do we actually get to it? And she was talking about her clients, and she's like, you know, she had a client say to her, I want to start a podcast, and I'm going to do that at some point. And she's like, Well, why don't you start it now? And she's like, Oh, I guess. I guess I could start it now. Lesley Logan 33:22  Yeah, start recording. You don't have to figure it out. You can always add an intro later, like you don't have to have the name figured out. You could just, like, start recording yourself.Brad Crowell 33:31  Yeah, but, but, but that left her, that led her down to this tool that she uses that is like, one bold move a day, one bold, one bold, courageous move a day. And that means, after 30 days, you have done 30 bold, courageous moves, right? And so what is a bold, courageous move? What could that be? It might be like actually responding to the text message you've been avoiding. Lesley Logan 33:54  Yeah, that could be bold. Brad Crowell 33:57  It might be making the phone call that you're like, I just don't want to take the time. Well, if you do it when your brain is active, the most active, you know, it will be less burdensome for y'all.Lesley Logan 34:07  For my ADHD people listening, you'll be shocked how quickly it it goes if it's the phone call you've been avoiding, like, I hate, well, it's not, I mean, like, it's true. It's an actual sign of ADHD. So, and because you and I have it, and we attract people who are, like most of our listeners probably like, you're really good at, like, a lot of, like, big thinking projects, but like, you know, calling your accountant just feels like the most annoying thing to do, and then you like, thank God I got their voicemail. Like, you know what I mean? No, just me, but the other day, I had to make two phone calls. And I was so shocked that I was able to do two phone calls in five minutes. And I was like, whoa. Why did I put that off for like, 72 weeks, like, so I just would say, like, do it when you have the high energy for it. I like that. I like that.Brad Crowell 34:54  Yeah, you know, but, but, but then, like, also, too, it starts a progression, one bold move a day. Lesley Logan 34:59  That's how confidence is built, by the way, by doing the same. Brad Crowell 35:02  Messy action. Lesley Logan 35:03  And then, by the way, I'll just that'll go into my thing, think about that thing, and then you want to do the future and then do it today. Like, it's actually like, don't, like, Don't go, Oh, I'm gonna talk to my friend about doing it. No. Like, go do it. Send the email. Like, hire the coach. Like, oh, I've been really wanting to get on this dating app so I could find something, put the build up the profile like do the actual thing. Because one, you'll be surprised how quickly some of these things are able to be done in our head, that we've built up to be this hard thing that we have to do. Brad Crowell 35:30  Oh, me too. Lesley Logan 35:31  So take the actual action, and don't let that get covered up with plans of just thinking about it. I'll tell you one thing, one way to really irk my you know, situation is if you just keep talking about the thing you're going to do with me, I can't. I don't have patience for it. So I don't it's how, it's how I met Brad. Y'all want to know this girl friend of mine just kept complaining about the scarf she lost, and I had the exact same scarf. I love that scarf. And I said, if you want, you can have my scarf, the one that you lost. I have the other one, but you're gonna do it with Brad, because I just needed her to shut up, like, go buy a new scarf. Go call the thing. Go see if there's a lost and found or it's a fucking I can't so anyways, I'm clearly not the person to call for you to repeat yourself. I'm gonna tell you, take the actual action, and then if you want to understand how to get momentum going, she did share a free resource called Momentum Builder at mollyasplin.com/momentum.Brad Crowell 36:29  Yeah, that's Molly A-S-P-L-I-N dot com mollyasplin.com/momentum, it's pretty cool, like you can print it out. She she recommends doing it monthly, and it helps you build that momentum. And if you take one bold move a day, by the time you're done 30 days, you're ready to fill out another one of these Momentum Builders. Lesley Logan 36:47  This is so great for so many people I know who listen to this podcast or in Agency, because they're like, I just need to figure the system that helps me get the things done. Like, just keep writing new lists down. And this Momentum Builder. All right, I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 36:59  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 37:00  You're amazing. We're so grateful for you. I hope you enjoyed we had Clare the last two weeks for the recap, so hopefully you enjoyed that she'll be back for a recap coming up, because she's excited about the guest so once, so you'll hear from her again. But we appreciate you guys letting someone else jump in on these recaps. Sometimes it's for me, sometimes for Brad, and we appreciate that you share this with a friend. So share this with a friend who you're tired of hearing them complain about the thing that they think they're gonna do. They won't know why you did it until this point. So at any rate, until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 37:31  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 37:32  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

#697: Most people regret the things they never tried. Venture capitalist Bill Gurley says that pattern shows up again and again in research on end-of-life regrets — including regret about the careers people never pursued.  In this episode, Gurley joins us to talk about how people actually discover work they enjoy - and why the cliché to “follow your passion” sends people in the wrong direction. We start with a question many listeners wrestle with: what if you reach your forties or fifties and still do not know what you want to do?  Gurley explains that career changes later in life remain possible. Financial flexibility helps. People who spend every dollar they earn limit their ability to shift paths. People who control their spending keep more options open. Gurley argues that “passion” often appears only after someone spends time exploring a field. A better starting point involves fascination - the subjects that pull your attention when nobody assigns the work.  Gurley suggests paying attention to what you study in your free time. If you find yourself reading about a topic instead of watching Netflix, that curiosity may signal a possible career direction. We also discuss how most successful careers involve several stops along the way.  Gurley studied hundreds of success stories and found that many people move through two or three roles before landing their long-term path. That pattern shows up across industries. Gurley began as a computer engineer working at Compaq. Even though he enjoyed the work, his curiosity shifted toward investing and business.  He eventually left engineering, went to business school and started knocking on doors in New York until he landed a job as a Wall Street analyst. That path later led him to Silicon Valley and a 25-year career in venture capital. Throughout the conversation, we talk about continuous learning, side projects that expand career options and how curiosity often shapes a career more than long-term planning.

Are your employees telling you they're overwhelmed — but the work still looks like it's getting done? Or are you throwing people into the deep end on day one and wondering why they're burning out or checking out?The problem might not be the people. It could be that you don't have a shared language for capacity.In this episode, Martin and Khalil break down a simple but powerful framework for understanding where your employees are at — and what to do about it. You'll walk away with a mental model you can start using in your next one-on-one.Key Topics & Timestamps00:53 - Why “Overwhelmed” Means Different Things to Different People03:01 - A Real Hiring/Onboarding Example: The “Overwhelmed” Employee Who's Doing Great04:00 - The 4 Performance Zones Framework (Green/Yellow/Orange/Red)10:04 - Deep Dive: What Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red Actually Look Like16:46 - Make It Actionable: Teach the Zones + Manager Moves for Each Color19:17 - Normalize the Yellow Zone: Growth, Challenge, Reflection (and Wrap-Up)Key TakeawaysDefine what each performance zone looks like for each role in your company — green for your office manager looks different than green for your field lead.Make the zones part of your company language: teach them to your team, post them, and reference them in every one-on-one.Ask "What zone are you in?" regularly — not just during formal reviews, but in passing conversations.When an employee hits the orange zone, look at what you've assigned them before blaming their capacity; it's usually a management decision that got them there.If someone lands in the red zone without warning, that's a sign they weren't communicating — and a sign the environment didn't make it safe to.Don't mistake a comfortable employee for a productive one; if someone's in the green zone in year one, you're leaving their growth on the table.Apply the growth equation to every stretch assignment: challenge them, then give them structured time to reflect on what they learned before adding the next thing.Resources⁠Drive by Daniel Pink "When Things Are Hopeless" article ⁠⁠⁠⁠Implementing AI in Your Business Workshop Sign-Up ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠24 Things⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Construction Business Owners Need to Successfully Hire & Train an Executive Assistant⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Schedule⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ a 15-Minute Roadblock CallBuild a Business that Runs without you.

Optimism can feel like a radical act these days. For Kevin Kelly, a positive outlook is not optional. The co-founder and senior maverick at tech magazine Wired has long argued that our capacity to fix our problems is greater than we imagine. He makes the case for evidence-based optimism, not wishful thinking, but informed possibility, in a new podcast called Best Case Scenario. Kelly teams up with best selling psychology and behavior author Daniel Pink to ask experts to give their best possible good news scenario in the next 25 years on the topics like transportation, energy and human health.

SYSK TRENDING takes a look back at conversations from the Something You Should Know archive that connect directly to topics people are talking about right now. Motivation is one of them. We tend to think people are motivated by carrots and sticks — rewards if you do what's expected, punishment if you don't. And while that approach can work in some situations, research shows it's often not the most effective way to motivate yourself or others. Daniel Pink explains what actually drives human motivation and why autonomy, mastery, and purpose matter far more than we realize. Daniel is the author of Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us (https://amzn.to/4kn5DGs) , and in this conversation he shares practical insights you can use at work, at home, and in your own life — especially at a time when so many people are struggling to stay motivated.

Check out Sublime at https://sublime.app/?ref=perell Daniel Pink is one of the most successful nonfiction writers of the past 30 years. You've probably seen his books: "Drive," "The Power of Regret," or "To Sell Is Human." Maybe you've even seen his viral TED Talk about the science of motivation. In this conversation, we started by talking about his writing process, which he's been doing consistently for so many years. I wanted to know when, where, and how often he writes. I wanted to know all about it. At the very end, Dan goes: "I've got one more thing to share with you." And then he shares is the most important question that any writer can ask before they take on a new project. About the host Hey! I'm David Perell and I'm a writer, teacher, and podcaster.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in live today! In this livestream conversation, I sat down with Substack writer and podcaster Jonathan Small to talk about what it really means to navigate work, identity, reinvention, and retirement as members of Generation X. Jon and I traveled different career paths. He moved from magazine publishing to digital media, podcasting, and entrepreneurship. Check out his current Substack publication, Small Talk. I shifted from a big-tech career (e.g., Apple, IBM, eBay, Yahoo) into independent coaching as a solopreneur. But we've both lived through the same constant pattern: industries rise, industries fall, and Gen X is constantly forced to reinvent itself.We talked about how traditional career expectations failed our generation. The idea of a stable, decades-long job with a pension evaporated. Entire fields collapsed (e.g., print magazines, early tech companies), and many people clung to the past too long, only to find themselves shut out of the future. What has kept the survivors afloat is adaptability. As I shared in the conversation, I've learned to watch the “canaries in the coal mine” and pivot before a company or industry fails. Jon had to make similar leaps as the print media industry imploded around him.A big theme was identity. Many Gen X professionals still define themselves by job titles, employers, or industries that may no longer exist. Jon and I both experienced that moment of losing our “main character” identity and having to figure out who we were without our familiar career spotlight. It's painful at first, but eventually liberating. Your profession is not your identity! The sooner you separate the two, the stronger and more resilient you become.We also talked about the realities of ageism, unstable 401(k)s, and the pressure of being the “sandwich generation,” caring for both aging parents and kids heading to college. It's no wonder so many Gen Xers feel anxious about retirement. But despite all of this, our generation remains remarkably resilient. Someone in the chat joked that we're the “Chumbawamba generation”—we get knocked down, we get back up again. And it's true.One of the most important takeaways from our conversation is the shift toward multiple income streams. Many of us no longer expect one job to provide all of our income, meaning, or stability. Check out Free Agent Nation by Daniel Pink. Jon and I both shared how life improved once we stopped forcing a single revenue source to carry everything. * More flexibility. * More time with family. * More control of our energy. * More meaningful work, on our own terms.We also touched on the growing loneliness many mid-career adults face, especially when office culture disappears. Building community (e.g., through platforms like Substack and online groups) and collaborating have become essential. Sharing your work publicly, even imperfectly, helps replace that lost connection. And as I emphasized, the antidote to fear isn't perfection. It's showing up consistently.We ended on a hopeful note. As Gen Xers, we're entering what Jon called Chapter Three of our lives. It's the stage where experience, autonomy, creativity, and wisdom finally converge (think Yoda). We don't need to chase the identity we had at 25. We get to design something new. The internet gives everyone the opportunity to build their own platform, reach people globally, and create a working life that fits who they are now.Would you like to talk with me about planning the next phase of your career? You can always schedule a complimentary call.

Autonomy-Supportive Parenting with Dr. Emily Edlynn, PhD In this episode of the Helping Families Be Happy Podcast, host Christopher Robbins interviews Dr. Emily Edlynn, a licensed clinical psychologist and author of "Autonomy-Supportive Parenting." Dr. Edlynn explains how autonomy-supportive parenting, based on self-determination theory, nurtures three fundamental human needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. She discusses how modern parenting culture's intensive approach often leads to controlling behaviors that undermine children's development, and provides practical strategies for parents to foster independence while reducing parental burnout. The conversation covers real- world applications of these principles, including how to help children solve their own problems and develop financial independence. Episode Highlights 00:00:10: Host Christopher Robbins introduces the podcast and guest Dr. Emily Edlynn, highlighting her credentials as a licensed clinical psychologist and author. 00:02:06: Light-hearted exchange about parenting experience with Christopher mentioning he's a father of nine children. 00:02:50: Dr. Edlynn defines autonomy-supportive parenting as a science-based approach that nurtures three fundamental human needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. 00:04:07: Discussion of the three core needs, with Christopher seeking clarification on each component. 00:04:40: Dr. Edlynn explains relatedness as the foundational need involving belonging, connection, and feeling understood and accepted. 00:05:14: Connection made to Daniel Pink's book "Drive" and its relationship to motivation theory. 00:06:17: Christopher acknowledges the challenges of parenting, describing it as sometimes being "a grind." 00:06:28: Dr. Edlynn identifies two primary barriers: overwhelming parental stress (declared a public health crisis) and intensive parenting culture. 00:08:10: Discussion of how control is the antithesis of autonomy-supportive parenting. 00:08:33: Dr. Edlynn explains how parents often do too much for their children, preventing skill development and confidence building. 00:09:36: Christopher relates the advice to leadership principles applicable beyond parenting. 00:10:25: Christopher shares his parenting approach of encouraging children to solve problems independently. 00:10:56: Dr. Edlynn validates Christopher's approach based on its effectiveness. 00:11:34: Humorous exchange about background music making parental advice more appealing. 00:11:48: Christopher asks for key autonomy supportive strategies to implement immediately. 00:11:56: Dr. Edlynn provides specific strategies including expecting more independence and expressing trust in children. 00:13:28: Application of strategies to a real scenario involving a child who needs to become more financially self-reliant. 00:13:47: Dr. Edlynn walks through the process of addressing the financial independence issue collaboratively. 00:15:00: Christopher acknowledges learning new parenting approaches after 33 years of experience. 00:15:38: Discussion of how autonomy supportive parenting relates to good leadership principles. 00:16:19: Exploration of short-term and long-term benefits of autonomy-supportive parenting. 00:16:35: Dr. Edlynn outlines benefits including reduced stress for parents and increased confidence for children. 00:17:25: Christopher reflects on accepting that children will grow up to be themselves, not replicas of their parents. 00:17:54: Dr. Edlynn emphasizes the importance of seeing children for who they truly are. 00:18:01: Acknowledgment that parenting is a marathon, not a sprint. 00:18:15: Important clarification that parents don't need to be autonomy supportive every moment to be effective. 00:19:12: Dr. Edlynn shares her contact information and online presence. 00:19:24: Closing remarks and podcast subscription information. Key Takeaways Autonomy supportive parenting focuses on nurturing three fundamental needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Modern intensive parenting culture often leads to controlling behaviors that undermine children's development. Parents should ask children "What are you thinking?" before offering solutions to encourage problem- solving skills. Expecting more independent behaviors from children reduces parental stress while building children's confidence. Approach children's mistakes with curiosity rather than judgment to maintain connection and facilitate learning. Scaffolding approach works best - implementing changes step by step rather than expecting immediate complete independence. Autonomy-supportive parenting leads to higher self-esteem, better academic achievement, and stronger social relationships in children. Parents don't need to be perfect - creating a general environment of autonomy support is what matters most. Quotable Moments "All of us, regardless of our age or where we live in the world, we thrive when we have these three needs met." "We feel like this anxiety that we have to curate this perfect life for our kids. And so what we end up doing is we do too much for our kids as a way to love them." "I want you to pretend that there's no one here to solve this problem and your life depends on solving this problem. And I bet you can solve it." "We just undermine or underestimate our children. We underestimate what they have to offer and they'll feel that over time." "One of the best things we can do is let go of our image of them and really see them for who they are." "Parenting is not a hundred yard dash. It's a really long ultra marathon." "You do not have to be autonomy supportive every minute of every day to be an autonomy-supportive parent."

On a June night several years ago, Sebastian Junger, bestselling author of The Perfect Storm and co-director of the Oscar-nominated documentary Restrepo, lay on an operating table, dying. An undiagnosed aneurysm in his pancreatic artery had ruptured, flooding his abdominal cavity with blood. His odds of survival were between 10 and 20 percent. "I said, 'Doc, you've got to hurry. You're losing me right now. I'm going.'" This near-death experience inspired him to embark on a scientific, philosophical, and profoundly personal exploration of what happens after we die. Host: Caleb Bissinger Guest: Sebastian Junger, author of In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife.
