In this engaging episode of Rethink Real Estate, host Ben Brady is joined by Ty Tashiro, acclaimed author of 'AWKWARD: The Science of Why We're Socially Awkward and Why That's Awesome' and renowned TED speaker. Ty brings his expertise on social awkwardness to the realm of real estate, a field where interpersonal skills are crucial yet often challenging. Ben and Ty explore the nuances of managing social awkwardness not only as real estate agents, who are often mistakenly perceived as extroverts, but also in dealing with clients who are navigating significant life changes. They discuss practical strategies for real estate professionals to improve their interactions and communication, ensuring they can extract vital information and provide top-notch service even when social dynamics become complex.

Can the traits that make you feel socially awkward actually be the key to unlocking extraordinary success? We've all experienced a time when we felt like an outsider looking in. But for some, this isn't a rare occurrence, but a constant struggle. In fact, research shows 10 – 15% of the population is socially awkward. But there is a strong correlation between social awkwardness and giftedness. You just have to learn how to use it to your advantage. I'm excited to welcome Ty Tashiro to the show today. Ty is a psychologist and interpersonal relationship expert. He's spent decades researching human intelligence, neuroscience, personality, and sociology to help us better understand this widely shared trait. He's also the author of Awkward: The Science of Why We're Socially Awkward and Why That's Awesome. There are few things more psychologically devastating than social exclusion. But being awkward can be like speaking a second language. By taking the same focus and persistence that you naturally give to things you love and applying it to your social life, you can figure out how to fit in without losing yourself. Listen in as Ty shares how you can turn your unique quirks into your greatest superpower and never grapple over an awkward social interaction again.

Ty is the first repeat guest of How We’ll Live and our chat on the science of happily ever after is the most listened to an episode of the pod…   As a refresher, TY TASHIRO is an author and relationship expert. He received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Minnesota and has been an award-winning professor at the University of Maryland and the University of Colorado. He lives in New York City.   In today’s chat we talk about his latest book, AWKWARD: The Science of Why We’re Socially Awkward and Why That’s Awesome, he explains why some of the same characteristics that make people feel socially awkward can be the same traits that propel them toward extraordinary achievements.    The back of the book says, “as humans, we all need to belong. While modern social life can make even the best of us feel gawky, for one in five us, navigating its challenges is consistently overwhelming -- an ongoing maze without an exit. Often unable to grasp social cues or master the skills and grace necessary for smooth interaction, we feel out of sync with those around us.”   In today’s conversation, Ty and I talk about what it means to be awkward and what it feels like. Ty walked me through an exercise to really understand what it feels like to be in “awkward shoes.”    We also talk about why Ty wanted to study social awkwardness, the three core attributes in many socially awkward people, how today’s cultural landscape makes it even more difficult for awkward people, and why, despite its difficulties being awkward can actually be quite awesome.   We also go on tangents about life, society, and the power of communication.   Whether you match the awkward traits we discuss, Ty’s insights can help us feel empowered to love who we are as we are and to have a little more compassion and empathy for that person who strike us as “weird” or “awkward.”   Website: www.tytashiro.com Book:https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062429167/ref=cm_sw_su_dp?tag=harpercollinsus-20

In today's episode, we’re talking about that ushy gushy love stuff.   You know that can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars over the fence, world series kind of love.   We all love love, right? We love falling into it, we love watching other people in it and we love movies about it. There’s something about love that’s comforting and fulfilling.   But dating, relationships, and commitment are hard. They take a lot of work, effort, and thoughtfulness. As divorce rates skyrocket and online dating surges, could we be approaching it all wrong?   That's why we’re not talking about the kind of love where girl and boy meet, fall in love and live happily ever after. Because, in reality, it's just not that simple and straightforward.   Today’s guest, relationship expert Ty Tashiro, is flipping the entire notion of "happily ever after" on its head by putting some science and algorithms behind it.   Ty is the author of the Science of Happily Ever after and most recently Awkward: The Science of Why We're Socially Awkward and received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Minnesota and has been an award-winning professor at the University of Maryland and University of Colorado. He lives in New York City.   While his approach may not feel like the most romantic way to think about LOVE, what he shares is really profound and makes a lot of sense. If you’re searching for “the one” but feels like you look in all the wrong places or have already have the one and are working through the challenges of building a lifetime together, I think you’ll really like this conversation.   Not going to lie, I think I got a personal therapy session out of this interview -- could my novelty seeking personality be steering me towards the wrong type of men?   You’ll have to listen to find out.   When you listen, you’ll also hear: How adding the simple preposition “in” to the word love changes its meaning Why you become a neurological hot mess when you fall in love and why that’s potentially dangerous for long term commitment The power of gaining perspective in between relationships How to determine the opportunity cost of your relationships and the algorithm for commitment Why love might not conquer all and that’s actually a GOOD THING How to make ourselves better in the context of the relationship Why it’s OKAY if a committed relationship just isn’t for you and why society tells us otherwise And how we can all find the perfect balance of passion and companionship for a long-lasting, wonderful, life of love and happiness together and as individuals  

In his forthcoming book, AWKWARD: The Science of Why We’re Socially Awkward and Why That’s Awesome, he explains why some of the same characteristics that make people feel socially awkward can be the same traits that propel them toward extraordinary achievements. ​Anna Roberts spoke to him about how we can use this in our everyday business lives to go from good to great.

You’ve likely experienced an awkward moment or two in your life. You say or do something that’s out of social sync, leaving the person you’re interacting with bemused, and you feeling like running and hiding under a rock.  While awkwardness is an uncomfortable feeling and can hurt us socially, my guest today argues that there is some upside to it too. His name is Ty Tashiro. He’s a psychologist and the author of "Awkward: The Science of Why We’re Socially Awkward and Why That’s Awesome." Today on the show Ty highlights his research on awkwardness. He explains what exactly we feel when we feel awkward and what triggers the feeling. He then digs into why some people are more awkward than others and the detriments that come with being socially awkward. Ty then shares things chronically awkward people can do to be less so, like developing social algorithms and studying manners. We end our conversation discussing the upsides of awkwardness and how to balance it with the downsides.  If you struggle with awkwardness or know someone who does, this episode will provide you a lot of actionable advice and insights on both embracing and mitigating your social propensities.

Have you ever felt awkward in a social situation? Today Dr. Dan’s guest is Ty Tashiro, Ph.D. (http://tytashiro.com/) the author of AWKWARD: The Science of Why We’re Socially Awkward and Why That’s Awesome. A psychologist and interpersonal relationship expert, Ty Tashiro gives Dr. Dan and listeners an illuminating look at what it means to be awkward and how we can all embrace our personal quirks to harness our potential and more comfortably navigate this complex world.  For awkward people (this includes adults and children), the simple act of navigating everyday situations can feel very overwhelming. Often unable to grasp social cues or master the skills and grace necessary for smooth interaction, they feel out of sync with those around them. How can parents help themselves and their children embrace their awkwardness?  Growing up Ty Tashiro was awkward himself -- he could do complex arithmetic in his head and memorize the earned run averages of every National League starting pitcher but he struggled during interactions with other kids and was prone to forgetting routine social expectations. During today’s interview Dr. Dan and Dr. Tashiro explore Ty’s personal story, the differences between boys vs. girls as well as the nature vs. nurture origins of awkwardness. A highlight of the interview is how parents can feel comfort and find community knowing their children are not alone. Parents must be patient, supportive, and not overreact to their child’s awkwardness. Awkwardness can mean your child is passionate, driven, or even gifted.  Dr. Dan explains that most of us feel a little awkward sometime in our lives, and that awkwardness is not social anxiety. When a parent remains calm and gives children a social script while acting patiently they can teach their children how to feel empowered to better navigate the complexities of the social world. Supporting our socially awkward children will help their self-esteem and potential. And it can also foster empathy and kindness.  During the Parent Footprint moment, Ty talks about his own childhood interest in baseball statistics and how his passion could have been perceived as awkward or even worrisome for his parents. But when his parents bought him a special encyclopedia he realized not only did his parents accept him but that they loved him unconditionally and they were really with him. Decades later this anecdote is still a powerful one for Ty.  TY TASHIRO, Ph.D., is also the author of The Science of Happily Ever After. His work has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time.com, TheAtlantic.com, and on NPR and Sirius XM Stars radio. He received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Minnesota, has been an award-winning professor at the University of Maryland and University of Colorado, and has addressed TED@NYC, Harvard Business School, MIT’s Media Lab, and the American Psychological Association. He lives in New York City. For more information visit:  http://tytashiro.com/ Watch this free video to learn more about Dr. Dan and Parent Footprint Awareness Training®.
