Podcasts about business intellectuals

Have you ever felt torn between who you are... and who you used to be?  Inside all of us live competing identities—conflicting desires, beliefs, and values. True growth begins not by choosing one or the other, but by learning to honor and integrate them with compassion and clarity. In this powerful intervention from Date with Destiny 2024, Tony Robbins works with tech entrepreneur Josh—whose journey took him from washing dishes in college to building software used by hundreds of millions. He's achieved incredible success—and endured painful setbacks—but even with everything he's built, something feels off. The fire inside him has burned out. Josh has embraced the spiritual, laid-back “hippie” within—the side of him that no longer chases external wins. But that identity conflicts with the ambitious, relentless entrepreneur he used to be... and that internal battle has left him stuck. Tony helps Josh uncover how his unconscious mind has kept these parts of himself at odds—and how to bring them into alignment to unlock his full potential. Using tools like the Psychology of Human Needs and Collapse Anchors, Tony guides Josh to create a new story: one where he doesn't have to choose between sides but can rise as something greater. This isn't just one man's breakthrough—it's a reflection of the journey we all face. Because when we create harmony within, we awaken the power to become who we're truly meant to be. We hope this serves you—and we'd love to hear what insight you take away. *You can watch this intervention (and tons of powerful Tony Robbins content) on our official YouTube channel: youtube.com/@TonyRobbinsLive       *Tony Robbins is a #1 New York Times best-selling author, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the nation's #1 Life and Business Strategist.

In this episode we talk about Trust as the New Currency with Don Peppers with co-author of "Extreme Trust" and leading marketing expert on the future of customer experiences. Not so long ago, being reasonably trustworthy was good enough. But soon only the extremely trustworthy will thrive. Today's modern customer experience where every action an organization takes can be exposed and critiqued in real time. Customers have access to so many instant options to share their dissatisfaction  that the bar for trustworthiness is pushed higher than ever and continues to rise. Don argues that the only sane response to these rising levels of transparency is to protect the interests of customers proactively-even if that requires spending extra money in the short run to preserve your brand reputation in the long run. The payoff of generating extreme trust will be worth it. With a wealth of fascinating research as well as practical applications, this book will show you how to earn - and keep - the extreme trust of everyone your company interacts with. Don Peppers is recognized as a global authority on marketing and business competition. His first book, The One to One Future, written with Martha Rogers in 1993, is widely credited with having launched the CRM revolution. Research by SatMetrix in 2015 ranked Don and Martha as the world’s #1 most influential authorities on customer experience management issues. A genuine thought leader, Don was listed by The Times of London as one of the “Top 50 Business Brains,' while Accenture named him one of the “Top 100 Business Intellectuals,” and the UK’s Chartered Institute for Marketing called him one of the 50 “most influential thinkers in marketing and business today.” In 2013 the Direct Marketing Association (US) inducted him into its Hall of Fame. Don has authored or co-authored a legacy of international business best-sellers that have collectively sold over a million copies in 18 languages: • Customer Experience: What, How, and Why Now • Extreme Trust: Honesty as a Competitive Advantage (2012) • Managing Customer Relationships (2011) • Rules to Break & Laws to Follow (2008) • Return on Customer (2005) • One to One B2B (2001) • The One to One Manager (1999) • The One to One Fieldbook (1999) • Enterprise One to One (1997) • Life’s a Pitch: Then You Buy (1995) • The One to One Future (1993) Don Peppers: CX Speakers  Podcast: Groundswell.fm Scott Martin: ScottMartin.org
