In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, host Vinay Koshy sits down with Bob King—seasoned sales expert, author of The Joy of Closing, and former filmmaker—to explore why the traditional, product-centric sales mindset falls short in today's complex B2B landscape. With insights drawn from decades of experience spanning retail, B2B, in-home sales, and even the film industry, Bob challenges conventional wisdom about closing, persuasion, and providing value. Why do so many B2B brands struggle to connect with real decision-makers and lose prospects not to better solutions, but to perceived apathy and indifference? How can one pitch, delivered with sincerity and emotional intelligence, change your company's whole trajectory? And what can storytelling and a bit of "one-call magic" teach us about influencing the buying committee, without resorting to tired sales tactics? Get ready for candid stories, practical frameworks, and hard-earned advice that could transform the way you approach trust-based selling forever.

Send us a textTransportation insecurity sounds like a cold, technical term—until you realize it's the difference between keeping a job and unemployment, accessing healthcare or suffering without it. While we readily understand food banks and homeless shelters, the critical nature of reliable transportation often goes unrecognized. Steve Landau, president of Cars for Neighbors, joins the Kindness Matters podcast to shine light on this overlooked crisis. For 25 years, this nonprofit has been quietly repairing cars for low-income residents in Anoka County, Minnesota—a suburban area where public transportation is sparse and unreliable vehicles mean lost opportunities.The conversation reveals shocking statistics: over 40% of Americans have gone into debt due to car repairs at some point in their lives. Even more concerning, a third of people cannot afford a repair exceeding $500 without sacrificing other essential needs or spiraling into debt. With most basic repairs starting at $1,000, it's easy to see how a simple mechanical failure can trigger a devastating cascade of consequences.What makes Cars for Neighbors remarkable isn't just the practical assistance they provide, but the profound impact of their work. As one grateful recipient expressed: "Love, grace, mercy, compassion, charity and caring—I have experienced those things from Cars for Neighbors." This testimony beautifully captures how what appears to be a simple mechanical service transforms into something deeply human and life-changing.Through partnerships with local repair shops and careful vetting of applicants, Cars for Neighbors stretches every donated dollar to help neighbors maintain independence and stability. They become that crucial support system for people lacking the social network or financial resources to handle unexpected automotive expenses.Whether you're mechanically inclined or simply want to support a worthy cause, this conversation will change how you think about transportation's role in community stability. Tune in to discover how fixing cars becomes a powerful act of kindness that keeps communities moving forward, one repair at a time.This podcast is a proud member of the Mayday Media Network.

In this episode of Driving Change, neuroscientist and storytelling expert Dr. Angus Fletcher returns to share insights from his latest book, Primal Intelligence. Drawing from his research with the U.S. Army Special Operations, Fortune 50 companies, and education systems, Fletcher unpacks how the brain's ancient systems—emotion, imagination, intuition, and common sense—shape the way we think, lead, and connect. This isn't just theory; it's actionable neuroscience that rewires how we respond to stress, how we plan, and how we grow. Jeff and Angus explore everything from battlefield psychology to parenting to sales conversations, all through the lens of primal brain power. This episode will change how you view intelligence. If you've ever struggled with anxiety, leadership under pressure, communication breakdowns, or helping others grow, this conversation delivers practical tools rooted in science—not self-help fluff. Learn how elite military units build confidence, how to tap into your brain's imagination for clearer decision-making, and why the stories you tell yourself matter more than any strategy. Whether you're a parent, leader, coach, or entrepreneur, this episode offers real techniques to become more grounded, resilient, and effective in how you show up. Emotion is the First Intelligence – Fear and anger aren't enemies—they're signals telling us how many plans we have. Four Primal Brain Powers – Imagination (planning), Intuition (opportunity spotting), Emotion (threat signaling), and Common Sense (choosing the best plan). Plan-Making Beats Panic – People freeze not from danger, but from having no plan. Teaching people how to plan reduces fear and anger. Storytelling is Neural – The brain organizes information through action-based narratives. It's not once-upon-a-time—it's how we think. Teach Planning, Not Just Plans – The goal of leadership is to develop planners, not just manage plans. Practice Under Low Stress – Communication habits formed in calm moments will show up under pressure. Authenticity Over Evasion – People can't always detect truth, but they immediately sense evasiveness. Share what you fear. Counterfactual Thinking Builds Vision – Asking "what if" about small changes with big outcomes activates the brain's default mode network. Kids (and Adults) Need Imperfect Practice – Tolerating messy planning helps grow initiative, resilience, and brain power. Sales = Story Anticipation – Great salespeople help others discover their own story faster and with more clarity than they could alone. 00:00 – Welcome + Book Launch Tease 01:45 – Ohio's Hidden Intelligence + Emotional Evolution 10:00 – Primal Intelligence Framework 13:00 – Special Ops and the Power of Plans 19:00 – Childhood Programming and Brain Plasticity 24:30 – Imagination as Thinking Tool 29:30 – Youth, Screens & Neural Pathways 33:00 – Leadership, Weird Ideas & Innovation 38:45 – Storytelling as Internal Narrative 43:00 – Relationships & Communication Needs 46:00 – Communicating Under Pressure 50:00 – Neurocentric Questions & Sales 54:30 – Authenticity, Fear, and Trust 58:00 – What Led to Primal Intelligence 1:00:00 – How to Learn More (Book, Quiz, Site) Primal Intelligence book page (Penguin Random House) – Available August 19 Free Quiz & Diagnostic: OperationHuman.com Why You Should ListenTop 10 Takeaways⏱️ Chapter Markings (by topic)How to find more from Dr. FletcherDr. Angus Fletcher on LinkedIn: LinkedIn Profile
