Podcasts about Bargaining

Most of us think we're good at reading people — until something hits a nerve. Here's the quiet truth: you already know the truth about the person you're trying to figure out. You've just decided to believe the promise instead of the pattern. In this episode, I break down the difference between a pattern (what's already happened, more than once, without you asking) and a promise (what only lives in words) — and why reasonable, thoughtful people are the ones who stay the longest. It's not a romance problem. It's the same move in love, in friendship, and in business. I tell you the true stories that taught me this the hard way — including the fraudulent buyer we gave grace to for months while she quietly took everything, and why we let it happen: we weren't believing her, we were believing the sale. A promise gets its power not from the person making it, but from how badly you want it to be true. If you caught Episode 99, this is its companion — that one was about the conversations you replay; this one is about the promises you keep believing anyway. Take the free 4-minute quiz — how you specifically handle this under pressure: quittingculture.com/quiz If this resonated, there's probably an open loop of your own worth closing. My free Close the Loop tool walks you through it in about 15 minutes — a gentle place to start.

Welcome to Schauer Thoughts, this episode we're taking a long and winding journey through the land of loss and grief. I do appreciate everyone's patience as this episode is going out Thursday - I sincerely hope you enjoy it. I would also like to take the time to thank everyone who's been so kind to me, we are strangers and the internet can be so cruel, but you guys haven't been. I know sad comments get me down sometimes but I also see the kind messages and those have profoundly impacted me. I am grateful for y'alls kindness, support, and even just your time. I hope nothing but good things for each and every one of you - if you are grieving, please do not rush yourself, but know that there are options to “unstick,” even just for a moment. I am sending all the positive vibes I can muster and I can't wait to chat next week. Also, no pressure, but if you'd like to see me do stand up, this is the link for the show! I'm nervous but excited and can't wait to get back into in-person comedy.

The Story Grid: What Good Editors Know - Shawn Coyne I really recommend this book for anyone writing a novel, I haven't written one myself but I was at a script reading one time and the author (who was speaking) was asked about what book helped them write their story and they said “The Story Grid” and *with just how they were hyping it up* and the murmurs of agreeance from the room, I think it may be an industry favorite. But of course, this is just a recommendation, no pressure. Bargaining for Advantage: Negotiation Strategies for Reasonable People - G. Richard Shell This book has nothing to do with grief, it is written more for business negotiations, but at the time of picking it up I was in a “mental economy” (and very literal thinking) autism headspace. It's an unconventional read for grief but it did help me and is currently helping me with the “bargaining” stage.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today, we're bringing you an episode from another podcast in the FT stable: The Economics Show with Soumaya KeynesFor decades, China accelerated its industrial development through a straightforward bargain: foreign firms invested in China, often through joint ventures, gaining access to the enormous Chinese market, while Chinese companies absorbed western tech and knowhow. Today, that dynamic is changing. China's high-tech industries are now world-leading, and western governments are looking on enviously. So should the US and EU now take a page from China's playbook? Host Soumaya Keynes speaks to John Minnich, assistant professor of international relations at LSE, about the history of Chinese tech transfer, how it drove industrial sophistication and whether the west could — or should — attempt something similar.Listen to more from The Economics Show: podfollow.com/economics-showFurther ReadingHow China pulled off a great tech reversalEU to include UK and Japan in ‘Made in Europe' plansJohn Minnich: Divide and Conquer: Industry Market Structure, Inter-Firm Rivalry, and Bargaining over TechnologyPresented by Soumaya Keynes.

This week Labor announced changes to the media bargaining code that require social media companies to compensate publishers for news and written material included on their platforms. With significant lay-offs in the media sector, this could provide an important source of additional revenue as advertisers have migrated to social media platforms that don’t have a public obligation to provide, accurate, factual information. Stephen Hill asked Senior RMIT Lecturer Edward Hurcombe what impact these changes would have upon the media landscape in Australia?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"You just need to let it go." It's one of the most common pieces of advice people receive after betrayal. And one of the least helpful. Because if letting go were simply a decision, you would have done it already. So why is it so difficult? In this episode of After the Affair, Luke Shillings explores what people are really talking about when they say they "can't let go." Is it the affair? The person? The marriage? Or is something much deeper keeping you anchored to the past? You'll discover why the affair didn't just damage your relationship—it shattered the future you believed you were going to have. From the holidays you imagined, to the retirement you planned, to the quiet confidence you once had in your life together, betrayal doesn't simply rewrite your past. It forces you to grieve a future that no longer exists. Most importantly, this episode explores the difference between letting go of what happened and letting go of what you thought was going to happen. Because those are two very different things. And understanding that difference may change the way you see your healing forever. In This Episode You'll Learn Why "just let it go" is often unhelpful advice What you're actually struggling to let go of after betrayal How infidelity doesn't just rewrite the past, it changes the future you imagined Why grief after an affair is often grief for possibilities, not just memories The difference between holding onto the affair and holding onto the life you expected Why your brain keeps trying to negotiate a future that no longer exists How bargaining quietly keeps many people emotionally stuck Why acceptance isn't approval What letting go actually looks like in healthy recovery How making space for grief creates space for rebuilding A Powerful Question From This Episode "Am I trying to let go of the affair… or am I trying to let go of the future I believed I was going to have?" Because those are not the same thing. One is an event. The other is the loss of an imagined life. And until you know which one you're grieving, it's incredibly difficult to move forward. Key Takeaways ✅ Letting go isn't a switch you simply choose to flip. ✅ Most betrayed partners aren't just grieving the affair—they're grieving the future they believed they were building. ✅ The affair often destroys certainty, identity, and imagined possibilities as much as the relationship itself. ✅ Bargaining with the past is a natural stage of grief, but it can quietly become a place where people remain stuck. ✅ Acceptance is not the same as agreement or approval. ✅ Healing doesn't require forgetting what happened. ✅ You can honour what you've lost without allowing it to define the rest of your life. ✅ Letting go isn't about losing your memories, it's about making room for new possibilities. Why This Episode Matters One of the biggest misconceptions in betrayal recovery is that people are struggling because they can't move on from the affair. Often, that's only part of the story. Many people are actually mourning a life they thought they were going to live. The marriage they believed they had. The retirement they imagined. The traditions they expected to share. The version of themselves who never thought this would happen. This episode explores why that distinction matters, and why recognising what you're truly grieving is often the beginning of genuine healing. Because sometimes the hardest thing to let go of isn't the relationship. It's the future you quietly built around it. Resources & Support If you're trying to rebuild your life after betrayal and you're looking for structure, guidance and support, Luke offers both private coaching and a supportive recovery community.

Iranians appear to be enjoying maximum leverage over the Trump administration. The argument goes that Trump had to act as he did to avoid severe risks to the global economy—an outcome that raises questions about the limits of his “master dealmaker” image.Why is JD Vance positioning himself as the deal's chief cheerleader, exposing himself to sustained political scrutiny? And how are figures like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin likely interpreting these developments? For some, it may signal a setback for American credibility and global leadership.In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Andrew turn to domestic politics. As the House of Commons prepares to break for the summer, they assess the Prime Minister's performance over his first 14 months in office.

Every victory at the bargaining table starts with workers standing together—but solidarity means looking out for each other's minds as well as their livelihoods. In this episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, host Ed "Flash" Ferenc sits down with John Lepley, Director of Education and Membership Development at the United Steelworkers (USW). Marking both Mental Health Awareness Month and the USW's 84th anniversary, John highlights a vital shift in the labor movement: treating mental health as a core collective bargaining issue. What We Discuss in This Episode: The Power of Peer Support: Inside the USW's voluntary mental health curriculum, developed alongside CUNY psychology professor Waleed Sami, which teaches members to spot warning signs and connect colleagues with professional care. Healthcare Workers in Crisis: How chronic understaffing, isolation, and workplace violence are compounding the mental health crisis for nurses and healthcare professionals—and how the union is fighting back. Bargaining for Well-being: Why scheduling, staffing ratios, and the boundary between work and home life are fundamental mental health policies that belong in every union contract. Leadership from the Top: The critical role General President Roxanne Brown played in championing this program from its early pilot stages to a nationwide union initiative. Important Resources: If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is free, confidential, and available 24/7 by calling or texting 988.

Are you struggling to say goodbye to the version of yourself that drinks? Coach Matt explores the powerful analogy of breaking up with alcohol and why high achievers often go through a literal grieving process when they choose an alcohol-free life. Discover the neuroscience behind the five non-linear stages of letting go... Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance and learn why an emotional "dip" is a sign of biological recalibration, not failure.  This episode provides a roadmap for untying the "Gordian Knot" of old coping mechanisms, helping you move from white-knuckling to an identity-led lifestyle where you don't just "quit" drinking, but authentically integrate the loss and thrive.   Want to speak to a real human being at AFL?

The decision whether to enter into a plea agreement with the government/state is the most important choice a client will make.  But too many clients enter into bad pleas - ones that promise little and give up a lot.   A client shouldn't have to settle for a plea that lacks real bite. Therefore, in Part II of our plea agreements bonanza, we go through, point by point, the elements of what makes a good plea. IN THIS EPISODE: Knowing the hallmarks of a "good" plea agreement; Knowing the long-term implications of rights you will be required to waive; The crucial difference between plea "stipulations" and plea "recommendations" Making sure your plea does not tie your hands on facts, arguments or mitigation you can present at sentencing; Bargaining for conditional appeal provisions; Bargaining away mandatory minimums; Pleading to an offense that substantially reduces potential statutory maximum; Keeping the door open for compassionate release and new challenges based on future changes to the guidelines or law ; The Hunter case, pending in the Supreme Court, that may make appeal waivers unconstitutional; And, now for something completely different, a recommendation for a powerful documentary ("Predators").  Here is a link to the trailer for the documentary, "Predators".  This film takes a fresh look at the  "To Catch a Predator" series, and asks hard questions about Hansen's motivations and methods, and how he ruined lives ruined for ratings.  It does what criminal defense lawyers have to do every day, take a hugely reviled class of alleged offenders, and demonstrate that there is another side to the story.

This Day in Maine for Monday, April 20, 2026.

Diplomacy isn't working, so President Trump is trying to cut Iran off from the world. A US military blockade on all Iranian ports and coastal areas is now in effect. The president announced the move over the weekend after 21 hours of peace talks in Pakistan ended without a deal. The idea is to put more financial pressure on the regime by blocking Iran from selling its oil, at least publicly. Iranian leaders are shrugging it off. The speaker of Iran's parliament, who helped lead their negotiations over the weekend, responded: “Soon you'll be nostalgic for $4 to $5 gas.”    Learn more about your ad choices.

Bargaining with reality just leads to frustration, wasted energy, and missed opportunities to do something about it. Let's dig into what it can actually look like to stop fighting the things you can't change (your memory, your energy at night, your partner's limitations) and start getting creative to work with the reality you have. The goal was never to be a different person – it's to build a life that works with who you already are.

When grief hits, it does not follow a neat little schedule. In this heartfelt Whinypaluza Wednesday conversation, Rebecca Greene and Seth Greene talk openly about the loss of their dog Tanner, the emotional roller coaster of grief, and what it looks like to keep parenting, working, and showing up while carrying sadness. Rebecca shares how grief can move through denial, anger, bargaining, sadness, and acceptance all in the same day, while Seth offers the kind of simple support people actually need in hard moments.This episode also explores how grief shows up in kids, why honesty matters, how routines can help, and what not to say to someone who is hurting. Rebecca offers practical ways families can walk through grief together with more compassion, more patience, and a little more grace.→ Grief does not move in a straight line, and there is no timetable for how long it should last→ Bargaining often sounds like what if, if only, and the painful replay of choices you wish you could redo→ Kids may show grief through clinginess, irritability, headaches, sleep changes, or silence→ Parents do not need to hide sadness from their children because seeing emotions handled in a healthy way teaches resilience→ Rituals like photo albums, candles, notes, songs, or keepsakes can help families honor loss together→ The best support is simple, honest, and kind. Not be strong. Not move on. Just I'm sorry. I'm here for you.If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who may need it today.
