We kick things off with an honest, down-to-earth conversation about really getting to know yourself. We chat about how spending time in silence (yes, even those long, quiet car rides) can actually help you figure out what's going on inside your head—not as scary as it sounds, promise!Jeff shares some personal stories about his travels and what he learned by turning off the radio, while Eric opens up about his own journey of self-reflection and why talking to yourself doesn't mean you're losing it. There's even a fun little experiment they try out on air to show just how tricky—and important—self-knowledge can be.Plus, we look at making mistakes, letting go of perfection, and how emotional intelligence tools can make navigating life's ups and downs a whole lot easier. Memorable Moments00:00 Unintentional Radio Silence04:54 Starting Small: Building Self-Reflection06:58 "Talking to Ourselves Helps"12:41 Baseball: Hitting into Bad Luck15:04 Imagined Acquaintance Reflection16:30 Musician's Disney Connection Revealed22:12 Self-Validation Over External Approval26:31 Optimism and Empathy as Growth Tools30:40 "Curiosity Over Judgment: Parental Challenges"31:39 Reconsidering "Toxic" Relationships Advice36:05 "Prioritize Curiosity Over Judgment"Here are three key takeaways for anyone looking to strengthen their emotional intelligence:Embrace Silence as Self-DiscoverySometimes the best way to get to know yourself isn't through books or podcasts, but by simply sitting in silence and observing your own thoughts. Jeff shares how driving in silence helped him become comfortable with himself and do some important self-inventory.Curiosity Over JudgmentWhen reflecting on our actions or beliefs, approach with curiosity—not criticism. As we discussed, being curious about your reactions and beliefs (instead of immediately judging yourself) leads to growth and healthier self-understanding.Strong Relationships Start WithinThe better we know ourselves, the better equipped we are to nurture and sustain healthy relationships with others. Self-knowledge makes us less reactive and more responsive, which is vital for personal and professional growth.In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

How to unlock the power of groups through collective communication.They say teamwork makes the dream work. But as Colin Fisher knows, unlocking the power of groups requires a specific kind of collective communication.Fisher is an associate professor of organizations and innovation at University College London School of Management and author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. His research reveals the dichotomy of group dynamics: "Groups can be the pinnacle of human accomplishment," he says. "But groups also have these tendencies to restrict us, to take away our individuality, and to sometimes make us the worst versions of ourselves.” The key, he argues, is fostering communication that maximizes the creative synergy of collaboration while minimizing the pressure to conform.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fisher joins host Matt Abrahams to share evidence-based strategies for effective teamwork, from selecting the ideal group size to fostering psychological safety. Whether with our coworkers, our families, or our friends, Fisher's insights reveal how collective communication can make or break group success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Colin FisherColin's Book: The Collective EdgeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful MomentsEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings   Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Advantages and Disadvantages of Groups (03:53) - What Makes Teams Successful (05:37) - The Ideal Group Size (06:33) - Building Psychological Safety (08:49) - Launching a Team for Success (13:10) - Making Meetings More Effective (16:25) - The Final Three Questions (23:13) - Conclusion   ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

De-escalation, Emotional Intelligence, and the Power of Listening Affect Labeling for Emotional Regulation Doug introduced a counterintuitive but highly effective method for managing emotions called affect labeling. By quieting the mind and directly naming emotions with simple “you” statements, he explained how it's possible to calm emotional escalation in as little as 90–120 seconds. I found this approach fascinating, especially since it activates the brain's right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex to downshift the amygdala. Doug emphasized that affect labeling can be used not only to regulate your own emotions but also to help others in the middle of tense conversations. Violence Prevention in Prisons Doug shared remarkable stories from his work teaching violence prevention to lifers in maximum security prisons. Over 800 graduates of his program have been released on parole in California without a single reoffense. I couldn't help but admire the impact of this initiative. Imagine how much stronger our communities and families could be if these emotional regulation skills were taught broadly in society. Doug and I agreed: teaching these tools early in life could help prevent conflicts and foster emotional maturity. De-escalating Conflict Through Listening We also explored why anger and polarization seem to be on the rise in today's world. Doug explained that much of it stems from people feeling unheard. When individuals don't feel validated, they often resort to anger or rudeness. He described how even on social media, simply labeling emotions can de-escalate heated conversations. I wholeheartedly agreed — if more people practiced this skill, we'd see far more harmony in society. Calm Conversations with Polarized Individuals Doug walked us through a framework for having constructive conversations with people holding strongly different political or personal beliefs. The method involves asking four questions: what life experiences shaped their beliefs, how those beliefs support their daily life, how they handle differing beliefs, and how they think society should be organized. Rather than trying to persuade or argue, Doug emphasized listening and validating emotions. I see this as a game-changer for building understanding, even in tense family gatherings or divided communities. De-escalation and Emotional Intelligence in Leadership Finally, Doug and I discussed the role of de-escalation skills in leadership. Emotional intelligence and active listening are powerful tools for creating psychological safety and transforming difficult conversations. Doug even shared his free online course on dealing with anger and aggression, available through LinkedIn or by email. It's a valuable resource for anyone looking to strengthen their leadership and communication skills.

Feeling the pressure to have all the answers? You're not alone. Mick Spiers sits down with Jim Fielding—former senior executive at Disney, Fox, and DreamWorks, and author of All Pride No Ego—to explore why modern leadership rewards curiosity over certainty. Together, they unpack how to build teams that think bravely, speak freely, and perform under pressure.Jim takes us inside his pandemic pivot from corporate operator to coach and storyteller, revealing the ten leadership lessons he wishes he knew at 25. The conversation dives into the politicization of DEI and the real challenge leaders face today: teams are already diverse in background and thought. The true edge lies in creating workplaces where people feel safe, respected, and heard. Jim shares how leaders can adapt their language—focusing on community, collaboration, and belonging—while still holding managers accountable for the behaviors that drive inclusion.The episode also tackles the chill around free speech, the mechanics of psychological safety, and how leaders can navigate political diversity at work. Jim outlines a calmer, more thoughtful approach: slow down for facts, invite dissent on purpose, and turn meetings into engines of learning. From supporting employees through sudden policy shifts to encouraging civic participation without partisanship, this episode offers practical tools and a steady compass for leading with empathy, courage, and curiosity.

His mother had a breakdown. His father grabbed a bat and went to kill the man. Then came the arrest, the court case, and the decision that would make everything worse: going on television to talk about it. Overnight, he became the kid nobody wanted their children near. Teachers whispered. Parents pulled their kids away. The bullying intensified. He was labeled damaged goods, living proof that some wounds mark you forever. But one summer, his Uncle Marvin asked him a question nobody else had bothered with: "How are you feeling?" They sat together working through emotional vocabulary, and Marc realized he couldn't name a single time he'd felt elated, but he could talk all day about feeling alienated. That conversation became the foundation for everything that followed.Years later, Marc saw "Emotional Intelligence" on the cover of Time Magazine and recognized his uncle's work from twenty years earlier. He pulled Uncle Marvin out of retirement, and they met at a Dunkin Donuts in Fort Lauderdale to build a curriculum that would eventually change how schools teach kids about emotions. Marc earned his PhD studying with the scientists who pioneered emotional intelligence research, got a fifth degree black belt in Hapkido, practiced Zen meditation, and spent three decades researching what it actually takes to heal. Now a professor at Yale (the same school that once rejected him), he's honest about what it required: an uncle who cared enough to ask, thirty years of dedicated study, martial arts discipline, and relentless inner work. Lewis and Marc dig into why accomplishing every goal on your list means nothing if you still don't feel enough, and how emotional education is the missing piece most people never get access to.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How to identify and rewrite the limiting beliefs holding you back.Achieving what you want in life doesn't just hinge on what you believe about your future. According to Muriel Wilkins, it has just as much to do with what you believe about your past and present.Wilkins is an executive coach, author, and host of the HBR podcast Coaching Real Leaders. In her new book, Leadership Unblocked: Breakthrough the Beliefs that Limit Your Potential, she explains how our personal and professional blocks often stem from our own limiting beliefs about ourselves. “A belief is a story that you tell yourself,” she says, “It is the operating principle that is driving your behavior and the decisions you make.” Before we can take actions that will lead us to where we want to go, we have to uncover these hidden beliefs. Otherwise, Wilkins says, “We'll come back right to where we started. It's not just about what we do, it's about what we think about what we do that makes all the difference."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wilkins and host Matt Abrahams explore the three-step process of uncover, unpack, and unblock — Wilkins' method for identifying limiting beliefs, understanding how they might be shaping our behavior, and updating narratives to align with who we actually want to be.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Muriel WilkinsMuriel's Book: Leadership UnblockedEp.102 Create a Presence: How to Communicate in a Way Others Can FeelEp.98 Give It to Me Straight: How to Give Honest, Constructive Feedback  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:17) - The Seven Limiting Beliefs (04:43) - Three Steps to Becoming Unblocked (07:57) - Rethinking Values and Success (09:12) - Healthy vs. Toxic Productivity (11:56) - The Power of Mindset and Reframing (14:32) - Reverse Engineering Your Goals (17:41) - Managing Emotional Investment (21:21) - The Final Three Question (27:42) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.
