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.

What if the fastest way to unlock performance isn't to lead louder, but to host better? We sit down with best-selling author Steve Fortunato to rethink leadership through the lens of hospitality—not the restaurant kind, the human kind. Steve reveals why so much “look at me” leadership creates a vicious cycle of entitlement, and how the host mindset flips the script to “look at you,” building trust, engagement, and shared ownership.We dig into three practical principles you can apply today. First, speak the good: start by changing the inner voice you lead from, then actively name strengths in colleagues, clients, and your company to counter negativity bias and build momentum. Second, honor the other: elevate dignity with real curiosity, mine for the gold, and apply what you learn through personalized recognition, better questions, and tailored support. Third, earn respect, don't expect it: stand in their shoes to understand pressures and constraints, and pursue reconciliation when things go wrong so relationships are restored, not just transactions.Throughout the conversation, Steve connects leadership and hospitality with vivid stories: power dynamics that make customers feel “lucky to be here,” the ecosystem of value that requires giving before getting, and how small hosting rituals—clear openings, inviting voices, pronouncing names right, closing loops—quietly transform culture. We close with a simple loop to keep you improving: celebrate what worked, then pick one thing to refine next time. If you're ready to trade performative heroics for meaningful hosting, this one will change how you run meetings, lead projects, and serve customers.

I want to hear your thoughts about the show and this episode. Text us here...In this special crossover episode, I'm sharing something close to my heart — Empathy in Action: Expanding Our Capacity to Care — from my new podcast experiment, Brave Moves.Yes, you heard that right... This is my newest project, and I'm inviting you to come along for the experiment. Brave Moves is my journey of starting, launching, and growing a podcast from scratch, using the same tools, systems, and strategies I teach my clients every day. My goal is to show you behind the scenes what it looks like to take action before you feel “ready.”In this episode, we're diving into empathy, what it really means, why it matters, and how it changes the way we lead, love, and show up in the world.I share a recent experience that made me reflect on how quickly we are to judge others and how assumptions can limit our ability to care. When I saw a post about helping people who lost their SNAP benefits, and the comments that followed, it hit me how much our empathy has to stretch, not just for those who “look” like us, but for those whose stories we don't fully know.This episode will remind you that empathy isn't weakness, it's a strength. It's leadership. And it's the heartbeat of confidence and connection.You'll learn: • Why empathy is a leadership superpower (not a soft skill) • How assumptions and comparisons shrink our compassion • Simple, grounded ways to practice empathy every day • How to take small, brave actions that expand your capacity to careEmpathy doesn't mean doing everything. It means doing something. It means saying, “I see you, and I care.”Brave Move: Do one act of empathy today — donate, listThis is an invitation to join a supportive community of purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are creating an impact in the world.A mastermind is a community of peers who exchange ideas, provide support, and offer sound advice for running a successful business.Join the Confident YOU Mastermind now at https://goconfidentlyservices.myflodesk.com/confidentyoumastermindSupport the showOther helpful resources for you: For more about me and what I do, check out my website.

Dr. Marc Brackett is a professor at Yale University, the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, and author. Why is it so hard to actually feel our emotions? In a world that tells us to “be more vulnerable,” many of us don't even know what that really means. Are we being unregulated when we express emotion, or are we finally being human? How can we reconnect with what we feel so we can actually understand ourselves better? Expect to learn why only 1 in 5 adults can name more than three emotions they feel regularly, what emotional intelligence actually is, why we were taught such few emotional skills, how we can tell the difference between real regulation and repressed emotion, if it is possible to be too self-aware, how you can learn to reframe uncomfortable emotions—like anxiety or envy—into signals instead of shame and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period from Shopify at https://shopify.com/modernwisdom Get a 15% discount & free shipping on Manscaped's shavers at https://manscaped.com/modernwisdom (use code MODERNWISDOM15) Get the brand new Whoop 5.0 and your first month for free at https://join.whoop.com/modernwisdom Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: https://chriswillx.com/books Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59 #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp - Get In Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast Email: https://chriswillx.com/contact - Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Andrew Campbell, retired senior military strategist and peace leadership pioneer, shares insights on transforming toxic organizations and leading with emotional intelligence. He emphasizes that conflict is unavoidable, and the way leaders respond—rather than react—shapes organizational culture. Through his PACT framework, he teaches how to pinpoint root causes, acknowledge perspectives, collaborate on solutions, and take accountability to prevent recurring disputes. Leaders set the tone for a healthy or toxic environment, and understanding others' perspectives is key to resolving conflicts effectively. He also shares personal experiences of being a toxic leader early in his career and how 360-degree feedback and perspective exercises helped him transform his leadership style. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Dr. Campbell highlights how a leader's character, values, and principles shape their influence and legacy. He stresses the importance of listening to understand, acknowledging mistakes, and stepping outside personal perspectives to manage conflict effectively. Leaders must embrace growth, apply practical strategies to prevent disputes, and foster healthier organizational cultures. He explains that structured conflict management can save hours of wasted arguments and prevent employee turnover caused by toxic workplaces. Quotes: "Every relationship has conflict; how you manage it shapes your culture." "Leaders often react rather than respond, and that determines how people will follow or resist." "We focus on symptoms, but the real issue is often what is not being said." "Your character determines whether you inspire trust or create toxicity in your organization."

Key Takeaways: Understand what inflation really is: Traditional finance often explains inflation the wrong way. Knowing what causes it helps you protect and grow your wealth. Income isn't the same as wealth: Making more money isn't enough—you need to invest in rare assets that grow faster than inflation. Know how central banks work: Since central banks control the flow of money, understanding their actions can help you spot trends and grow your wealth. Borrow smartly instead of selling: Using your assets as collateral lets you access cash without losing your long-term investments. Invest in scarce assets: Putting money into things like Bitcoin or real estate can protect you from the falling value of government-controlled currency.

When we truly listen, every conversation changes — including the one with ourselves.Listening isn't about waiting for your turn to speak — it's about being present enough to truly hear. In a world full of noise, slowing down to listen can feel like a radical act.
