Podcasts about extroversion

Are there ways to change your personality? What traits are easier to change than others? How does environment and life events tend to influence the Big Five traits of your personality?Olga Khazan is a staff writer at The Atlantic magazine and also the author of the books Me, But Better: The Science and Promise of Personality Change and Weird: The Power of Being an Outsider in an Insider World.Greg and Olga discuss the concept of personality change, focusing on the Big Five personality traits: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Olga shares her personal journey of attempting to modify her own traits, the challenges faced, and the various techniques used, such as meditation, improv, and volunteering. They also talk about the implications of personality change in different environments, the heritability of traits, and the broader significance of these changes for personal and professional growth.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The case for volitional personality change12:03; Everyone will change slightly, even if they do not do anything. So you can just, like, buckle up and enjoy the ride, I guess. The maturity principle — like people become less neurotic, more conscientious over time — so those are positive changes, and most of us will kind of enjoy those. But volitional personality change, which is what my book is really about, is trying to make a more pronounced change in a shorter period of time. And the kind of type of thing I am talking about is, like, starting therapy. Like most people, if they have a problem, they do not kind of sit back and say, "This problem will eventually go away, so I am not going to get therapy." You know, they are like, "I want to go see a therapist because I want this process to resolve faster — like, want to get over this problem sooner." And so, it is similar with volitional personality changes: you are noticing a problem in your life, and you are taking steps to change it faster than it would change naturally.Why extroverts are often happier22:40: Extroversion is important. Most studies show that extroverts are happier. That's just because they have more social connections... There's just something about being seen by other people, feeling like you're part of a community, feeling like you matter, that is really beneficial for health and can't be replicated by reading a book or watching a TV show.Neuroticism and safety vs. risk25:37: Neuroticism will keep you very safe because you will never do anything. But you have to ask yourself whether you want a life where you've never taken any risks. 'Cause that's also part of it.What improv can teach you about being open20:37: What improv is really good at is, if you are someone who is very controlling of situations or likes to be in control, it completely breaks you of that immediately because there is absolutely no way to control what's happening in improv. Everything is so made up and so confusing, and so you have to like to be in the moment and just pivot on the spot with whatever's happening. And for me, that really helped with extroversion, but also kind of just some of the parts of me that were kind of not willing to be extroverted.Show Links:Recommended Resources:NathanWHudson.comPersonalityAssessor.comBrent RobertsWilliam JamesBrian LittleDale CarnegieHow to Win Friends and Influence PeopleGuest Profile:OlgaKhazan.comProfile on LinkedInWikipedia ProfileSocial Profile on XSocial Profile on InstagramHer Work:Articles in The AtlanticAmazon Author PageMe, But Better: The Science and Promise of Personality ChangeWeird: The Power of Being an Outsider in an Insider WorldSubstack Newsletter

By Walt HickeyDouble feature today!Welcome to the Numlock Sunday edition.This week, I spoke to Olga Khazan who wrote the brand new book, Me, But Better. Olga appears all the time in Numlock because I really like her work, she's a staff writer at The Atlantic and previously wrote a delightful book that I really enjoyed called Weird: The Power of Being an Outsider in an Insider World.The book dives into the science of personality, where it comes from, and the real ways that we can change our own personalities in one direction or another. In it, Olga becomes a guinea pig for all kinds of radical experiences to change her personality. Olga can be found at The Atlantic, and the book is available wherever books are sold. This interview has been condensed and edited. Olga Khazan, thank you so much for coming on.Yeah, thanks so much for having me.You are the author of the brand new book Me But Better. I loved your book Weird which was out just a few years ago. This book is all about how to change your personality. It is a really exciting journey. I know that it started with an article that you published in The Atlantic, but what drew you to the art and science of changing one's personality?Really it's because personality is at the root of so much self-improvement and personal growth. I noticed that I tended to see things really negatively a lot of the time, and I was also really socially isolated. it was keeping me from enjoying life and appreciating what I had and just getting the most out of what life had to offer me. I really saw personality change as a way to fix all or improve that in one fell swoop.Great. You talk a lot from the framework of the Big Five. I really enjoyed how grounded in the scientific literature it was. The Big Five is potentially somewhat different from the Myers-Briggs structure that a lot of people know. Before we dive into how you went about doing a gut renovation on your personality, I would love to hear a little bit about what the Big Five are, where you came in on some of it, and what you wanted to see if you could change.Yeah, so generally the accepted scientific view today is that there are five traits that make up personality. You can remember them with the acronym OCEAN. The first is Openness to experiences, which is like imaginativeness and creativity. The next is Conscientiousness, which is being super organized, being on time. The next is Extroversion, which is being friendly and cheerful and sociable. Then there's Agreeableness, which is being warm, empathetic and also trusting of others. Then there's Neuroticism, which is a bad thing; it is depression and anxiety. The opposite of that, which is the one that you want, is emotional stability.When I started taking these scientific personality tests at the start of the project, I scored very low on Extroversion, very high on Neuroticism and I scored about average on Agreeableness. Those were the ones that I wanted to change.That's fascinating. I want to actually follow up with that. I did not hear you put a good, bad valence on any of the other ones besides neuroticism. It seems like most of these…people can have a full and fulfilling life with one or the other. What made Neuroticism pop out?You can have a full and fulfilling life without being on the outer extreme on any of these, but I would say it's generally better to be higher on all of them other than Neuroticism. You don't want to be all the way to the extreme. You don't want to be so agreeable that you're just like a doormat. It's generally better for your mental health and well-being and stuff to be pretty agreeable, pretty extroverted, pretty conscientious.Neuroticism popped out to me because that is one that I was super high on. It's very bad for your mental health. The definition is pretty much having bad mental health. It was keeping me from having a fun life, having a good life. Your happiness is determined by how you feel moment to moment and not by how many goodies you have. Even when I had a lot of goodies, I was sort of still miserable.Fascinating. Just to get into some of the literature on that, there was this amazing study that you cited in the book that says knocking down your Neuroticism by a few points was worth the equivalent of getting a $300,000 annual income increase. It seems like this is a really significant reverberation on just how people assess themselves.Yeah, even a really minor decrease in neuroticism can have a really big benefit for your life and have a lot of benefits for your mental health. This is why people spend so much time in therapy and get on SSRIs and things like that. Both of those have been shown to decrease neuroticism. So it really is a very popular personality trait that people like to work on.So how'd you go about it?For Neuroticism, the technique is really a lot of meditation. It's really hard to get away from that. People keep wanting me to say something else, but it's a lot of mindfulness meditation. The other component that I did was gratitude journaling. You can do this exercise where you write a letter to someone in your life that you're really grateful for, which will inevitably make you just weep hot tears because you're like “I'm so thankful.” So you can do exercises like that.But really the day-to-day practice that I did and that people recommend is mindfulness meditation. In particular, a lot of the Buddhist teachings in the mindfulness class that I took were really helpful to me. I think often in the day-to-day of life, I get really wrapped up in these negative thought spirals, and it really helped me have a more realistic way of looking at things that were less negative.Fascinating. I always love it when you ask “What's the one simple trick to solving your problem?” It's always just “Oh, you just have to exercise every day. Oh, you just have to meditate”I know! Just completely change your life in every way and spend all your time on self-care.Let's go through some of the other ones. Definitely Extroversion I think is a really interesting one. Again, you have happy introverts in life. You have happy extroverts in life. You wanted to get more extroverted.I think I would still identify as an introvert. It's not like you have to abandon that identity if that's important to you, but really it's about: am I getting enough social connection to fill up that bucket in my life? I really was not. I almost reflexively (even before the pandemic) if people would invite me out for a happy hour or something, I would just reflexively say no. Now as a new parent, I'm kicking myself because I'm never going to get to go to happy hour again. I would kill for a happy hour with people. Please come have happy hour with me.I would just kind of say no because I was like, “Well, I don't know if it's going to be that fun. Who all is going to be there?” I was doing these cost-benefit analyses. I found that once I actually forced myself and I was like “Okay, I'm actually going to go out a lot. I'm actually going to socialize. I'm going to do improv. I'm going to go to Sailing Club.” Once I go to these things and do them, I actually do feel happier. I felt better afterward, even if I wasn't in the mood to go beforehand.Again, you took some incredibly extreme steps over the course of this. People should consult a doctor before joining an improv group. But you went ahead and did that.Yeah. Improv was probably the scariest thing for me to try. But it was also the most efficacious, I would say.Really?Yeah, because it is such good practice with so many things that bother neurotic, introverted control freaks. It's basically shattering the pretty little world that you live in, if you're like me. It's a completely uncontrolled environment. You don't get a say over what is said or what happens in improv because it's all up to other people. It's a performative thing, which makes me very uncomfortable. I have stage fright. It's silly, and I have issues being silly. It's spontaneous. It is very whimsical. It involves really reading other people very closely, moment to moment, which can also be really challenging if you don't get out much and you are super introverted. So I would say improv just plunges you into figuring out other people all in one go.Amazing. I want to back out a little bit and talk about this book in the context of your previous book. Can we talk a little bit about the distinction between personality and identity? Your previous book, Weird, really honed in on some of the advantages of being weird, being somewhat different than those around you had. It was interesting in this book because you were pursuing qualities that not necessarily made you less weird necessarily, but also made it easier to plug in with other people at times, right? Obviously, these are different things, but you're still a very unique person. You still have a fascinating background. I don't think any part of this book really comes across as you losing anything. It's interesting to just have this book and it just in perspective of your previous one, just because it seems like it's an interesting way to perceive working on yourself without changing yourself too fundamentally.Yeah, that's an interesting point. I think, honestly, what this helped me to do is to embrace the positive things about being weird or my unusual identity. For people who haven't read my previous book or don't know who I am, I am a Russian immigrant and I grew up in West Texas. That element of me was like in this book, Weird, where wrote about other people and how being different from other people around you can be both a source of pain and a source of strength.I think now I am better able to focus on the source of strength element of this because I am less sensitive by virtue of being less neurotic to the slight microaggressions that you sometimes get if you don't totally belong in your milieu. A lot of the other people who were “weird” that I interviewed, picked up on.There's a scene in the book where I describe going to a bar and the bartender weirdly asked me if I'm always alone. It sent me on this spiral of like, what's wrong with me? Like why would someone ask me if I'm always alone. That's so weird. I was like, was my outfit really bad? Do I look like I'm homeless? I just sort of started spiraling, you know, but that kind of thing honestly happens a lot less since I started doing this. I feel like, now, I would respond to that with “Nope, just for the moment” and not think much of it. I don't know. So it gave me some perspective on my weirdness, I guess.That's fascinating. Again, I really enjoyed the book because it talks about a lot of effective ways to change elements of people's personalities that they might want to adjust. In personality, it just seems like there's a lot of pseudoscience. There's a lot of rumors. There are a lot of things that don't work. What are some of the things that you looked into that never really panned out, or things that aren't as effective as people might think at changing their personality?Oh, good question. So for me, for Openness to experiences, a big suggestion is traveling. A lot of the studies on increasing openness suggest that you travel. I definitely have had travel experiences where they've totally opened up my mind and I've been like “Whoa, man,” and had all these ideas and felt more creative afterward.But for this book, I went to Lisbon, Portugal, which has completely exploded as a travel destination recently. I really am not kidding when I say that if you walk around the streets of Lisbon, it's pretty rare to actually hear Portuguese. Mostly, I heard Australians, British people and people from other Western European countries who were like tourists. I was obviously also a tourist, so I'm not saying that it's wrong to be a tourist or that it's bad. But there's something about it that didn't work on me. I just felt like I was at Disneyland or something. I was like, “Okay, now we're all going to this church. Now we're all looking at this thing.” It didn't feel, I don't know, I guess very genuine. Whatever the sojourner effect is supposed to be didn't work on me.That's interesting. With the openness to experience element, you wrote a little bit about how there are some people for whom this is just a bolt from the blue. They have an experience, and it permanently changes their personality forever. They've been studied a little bit, but that is the exception to the rule in many ways.Yeah. So there's this guy who wrote this book, Quantum Change, which is a very weird book. He interviewed people who said their personalities did change after some epiphany or something happened. And these epiphanies were really weird. They happened in all sorts of circumstances. Some of them were cleaning their toilets. Some of them were smoking pot or doing whatever. A lot of it was rock bottom type stuff, like “I was an alcoholic” type thing. But that, I would say, is the exception. For the people who I interviewed for this book (who changed their personalities), it was more of a methodical pursuit of something over time. They had to build and build and build towards something rather than just snap, I'm different now.Interesting. One of the ones that you wrote about, Conscientiousness, You approached somewhat with trepidation because you scored very high on Conscientiousness already, right?Yes. Yeah.So it also seems that Conscientiousness is (based on what you just said) one of the harder ones to change. If you have to be conscientious about changing your personality, it's tough to become more Conscientious, you know?Yeah, and one thing that really seemed to make the difference for people…I interviewed one woman who really wanted to start a business, but she was not very self-directed, I guess is the best way to put it. She just wasn't really a natural self-starter, so she didn't know how to get up and go and do something like that. Then I interviewed another guy who really wanted to go to grad school for psychology, but he got to college without ever having written a paper before, and he never studied. He actually bought a book called How to Make A's because he did not know how to make A's. One thing that really made the difference for folks like that who are like “I don't know what I'm doing” is having a big goal that was really, really important to them. It was like the big project that they were working toward.What research tells us is that having these personal projects that are really important to you can really inspire personality change when it gets really challenging. Having a good career in academia was just so important to this guy that it didn't matter to him that he wasn't really the typical candidate for that thing. For the woman who wanted to start a business, she had ended up in a dead-end job and she really did not want to return to that. So they both had these fires under them. They were like, “I'm going to achieve this thing and it is going to require conscientiousness.” So that is what kept them going.Yeah, I really identified with that chapter just because (not to talk down a previous version of myself too much) I was occasionally living the dissolute drunken journalist lifestyle. Then, I started writing a daily newsletter and at a certain point, that really does give you a long-term daily obligation that was fairly instrumental to my own Conscientiousness. I really identified with that chapter and those folks who managed to get a specific goal to change them up, you know?Yeah. Yeah. There was actually another dissolute drunken journalist in that chapter who was actually one of the most remarkable transformations of all the people I talked to. He did, he was drinking so much, like a case of beer a day, basically. Then the pandemic started and he actually didn't have an obligation. It was a lack of an obligation. He got laid off when the pandemic started and he was like, “Oh, am I just going to drink the pandemic away? I need to have some sort of structure or something that I'm doing that isn't this.” So that was, weirdly, what clicked for him. It doesn't always have to be work, but it often is.I feel like there was this trend for a while: there was a lot of work coming out that was very, very clearly heavily influenced by the pandemic. I do not describe this work as heavily influenced by the pandemic because it's very clearly very resident beyond simply that era. That being said, the pandemic has come up a lot.People sometimes just needed a big break, a bolt from the blue, something that shook them out of their daily lives to change up one or more of their personality traits. How much is that a factor in this? I know in your own experience, it came up to some extent. Big life changes come around all the time, it doesn't have to just be a pandemic, but how do those give us opportunities to change who we are?Yeah, there's a lot of interesting research on this actually about how turning points or breaking points can be like a good time to start something new. I know that a lot of people don't keep their New Year's resolutions, but it's actually a good thing to make them. The reason why we pick the first of the year is because it's turning over a new leaf. It's nice to have those clean breaks sometimes.I'm not saying that the pandemic was a good thing because it was a nice reset moment for us. But it did play a resetting role for me. It really gave me time to think about what it is that I want and like what's standing in my way. You do get trapped in your routine — commuting to work, at the office all day, commuting back, now I'm too tired and I don't want to go back out, I'm just going to sit here and have my wine and watch my TV.I think just having a break in that routine is what shifted it for me.Fascinating. There's one last one that we haven't really talked too much about: Agreeableness. What did you find with this? Again, this was a category that you didn't score particularly low on, but you still had a few opportunities to try to shake up your numbers a bit.Yeah. I think one thing with Agreeableness that I learned is that there's a lot of room for deepening the connections that you already have. It's true that I didn't get out and meet a ton of people, but I also was getting in a lot of fights with my friends. I sometimes found that when I was having conversations, they weren't very deep or they were surface-y. That would annoy me, then it would make me not want to have any more conversations. One thing that I did that was really helpful for that was go to this conversation workshop in London. This woman, Georgie Nightingale taught us strategies for having deeper and more interesting conversations.One tip that I will share here is to ask someone what something meant to them. Instead of collecting facts (when you're asking someone how was your day, how did this go, how did that go, what airline did you take to get here) ask why was that important to you. Or why was that meaningful to you? That will generally lead you into a more interesting tangent. Though, it can be initially a little bit awkward than this is where you're from, this is what airline you took, this is how many pieces of luggage you packed, the typical third degree we give people.Got it. All right. I will take that advice — specifically, what did making this book mean to you?This book made me really happy. I felt like it gave me a reason to break out of some of my habits that I didn't love. There are some habits that I have kept up. I'm just really glad that I did it before I had a baby.Yeah. I really enjoyed reading it because it felt very intentional. It was a chance to do work on oneself, but also getting into the data of why this is the way it is. What have you held onto from this process? I know that when you wrote the article in The Atlantic a few years ago, you mentioned that you dropped a few of the habits but what have you still stuck with?One thing I have stuck with is that I've realized that when I am feeling down or depressed or out of sorts, what I should do is actually connect with people and not disconnect. I often thought that I needed more alone time because I'm feeling sad. But actually, what I often need in those moments is more time with other people. That has flipped my approach to a lot of things now where I actually seek out more socializing and more interaction whenever I'm feeling a little bit withdrawn if that makes sense.That's really interesting. Is there anything that you tried that you were like, “Oh, this is nice, but I don't need to be this open to experience.” Is there anything that you dropped off from?Yeah, there was this thing I did in the Neuroticism chapter that involved noting and noting is very weird. It's like where you make note of what you're doing, like thinking, seeing. For example, I'm seeing a red bird or I'm thinking that this is strange or I'm hearing yelling or whatever. I have not kept up with noting. I always found it really weird and hard and I have not been doing it.That's interesting. Yeah. I don't, I don't think building some dissociation into my day is a good thing for Walter. So I can understand that. Yeah. Again Olga, thank you so much for coming on. I guess I'll give you just the floor here a little bit. Why don't you tell folks a little bit about the book, where they can find it and where they can find you?Yeah. Um, the book is Me, But Better. You can find it wherever books are sold March 11th. I'm Olga Khazan and I have a sub stack under my same name, olgakhazan.substack.com. I also write for The Atlantic and you can find a lot of my writing there.Yeah. I will just personally say, I really dig the substack. I like your work there a lot. It was really fun to follow some of the work that you were doing on the book from there and definitely strongly endorse it. Also, The Atlantic. Pretty good too. Very good.Yeah. And The Atlantic is also good!All right. Well, thank you so much for coming on.Thank you so much for the kind words and thanks for having me.Edited by Crystal Wang.If you have anything you'd like to see in this Sunday special, shoot me an email.

Lord Tortemus has proposed sending Tatters, along with his two bodyguards, the Vale sisters, on a mission to retrieve the Ring of Winter from the leader of the machine cult. Describe the mission parameters, including the keywords Mysterious Vehicle.   Mission Parameters: Quest for the Ring of Winter Objective: Retrieve the legendary Ring of Winter from the leader of the machine cult. Team: Tatters - The cunning and resourceful protagonist. The Vale Sisters - Tatters' loyal and formidable bodyguards, known for their combat prowess and tactical acumen. Mission Overview: Lord Tortemus has identified the leader of the machine cult as the current possessor of the Ring of Winter. This ancient artifact possesses immense power over ice and cold, making it a critical asset in the ongoing conflict. The cult has fortified itself within Hammerhold, the city's greatest forge and arsenal, located in the heart of Chaintop. Primary Objectives: Infiltrate the Stronghold: Gain access to the machine cult's heavily guarded fortress. Locate the Ring of Winter: Identify the exact location of the Ring within the stronghold. Retrieve the Artifact: Secure the Ring and ensure its safe return to Lord Tortemus. Secondary Objectives: Gather Intel: Collect valuable information on the machine cult's operations and technology. Neutralize Key Threats: Disable or eliminate high-ranking cult members and their mechanical constructs. Mysterious Vehicle: Investigate the rumored Mysterious Vehicle that the cult uses for transportation and potential escape. Operational Details: Transport: The team will travel via a swift magitech skimmer provided by Lord Tortemus, designed for stealth and speed. Entry Point: Utilize an old drainage tunnel as the entry point to bypass the main defenses. Reconnaissance: Deploy mini-drones for surveillance and mapping of the fortress interior. Engagement: The Vale sisters will handle combat encounters while Tatters focuses on securing the Ring. Extraction: Once the Ring is in their possession, exfiltrate using the Mysterious Vehicle if possible, or fall back to the skimmer for a swift retreat. Potential Hazards: Mechanical Sentinels: The stronghold is patrolled by advanced automata designed to detect and neutralize intruders. Environmental Extremes: The presence of the Ring has caused unnatural cold within the fortress, creating hazardous conditions. Cult Defenders: Devoted and fanatical cultists, equipped with magitech weaponry, will fiercely defend their leader and the Ring. Mission Success Criteria: Successful retrieval of the Ring of Winter. Safe return of Tatters and the Vale sisters. Acquisition of valuable intelligence on the machine cult. Failure Conditions: Loss of the Ring to enemy forces. Capture or incapacitation of team members. Incomplete mission objectives due to unanticipated threats. Mission Commences: 18:00 hours, local time.   Genre: magitech. Describe an automated factory stronghold, at the heart of the industrial Chaintop area of Kyras, capital city of the Kyras Dominion. The air in Chaintop hummed with a low, insistent thrum. Gears ground, pistons hissed, and the glow of arcane forges cast long, dancing shadows across cobbled streets. At the heart of this industrial behemoth stood the Bastion of Gears, a fortress unlike any other. Appearance: Exterior: Hammerhold was a brutalist masterpiece, a symphony of iron and obsidian. Massive, interlocking gears formed the very walls, their teeth catching the light in a mesmerizing display. Arcane sigils, etched in shimmering gold, pulsed with an eerie light, warding off unwanted attention. Interior: A labyrinth of corridors, each a testament to magitech ingenuity. Production Halls: Gargantuan machines, powered by a combination of steam and arcane energy, churned out weapons, armor, and intricate gears. Dwarven engineers, their faces grim with concentration, monitored the intricate dance of pistons and pulleys. Assembly Lines: Goblins, their nimble fingers a blur of motion, assembled intricate magitech contraptions. From miniature clockwork automatons to devastating siege engines, each piece was crafted with meticulous care. Forges: Arcane forges, fueled by rare crystals, roared to life, casting a blinding light. Dwarven smiths, their bodies glowing with an otherworldly aura, hammered and shaped molten metal into weapons of terrifying beauty and power. Defenses: Arcane Shields: An invisible, shimmering barrier enveloped the bastion, deflecting projectiles and absorbing minor magical attacks. Auto-Cannon Turrets: Ironclad turrets, bristling with arcane-powered cannons, rotated menacingly, ready to unleash a barrage of fire upon any intruders. Clockwork Golems: Massive, iron golems, their movements fluid and deadly, patrolled the perimeter, their eyes glowing with malevolent intelligence. The Heart of Hammerhold: Deep within the fortress, in a chamber shielded by a dozen layers of arcane wards, resided the Engine of Creation, a masterpiece of magitech engineering. This colossal machine, powered by a captured celestial spirit, was the heart of Hammerhold, providing the raw energy that fueled the entire operation. Life Within Hammerhold: Hammerhold was a world unto itself. Dwarves, goblins, and humans, all bound by contracts of servitude, lived and worked within its walls. They were well-fed and well-compensated, but their lives were strictly regimented, their every move monitored by an intricate network of surveillance. Dissent was not tolerated. Hammerhold was a symbol of the Kyras Dominion's industrial might, its arsenal, a testament to the power of magitech. It was a fortress impregnable, a factory unmatched, and a constant reminder of the Dominion's unwavering pursuit of power.

In a perfect example of being careful of what you wish for, Tatters has got what she wanted; a parlay with the deadly vampire lord, Tortemus. Many have not lived to regret such a thing.  And even if she survives the encounter, can she hope to learn anything that will turn the overwhelming tide in her favour?

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop is joined by Christopher Demetrakos, founder and CEO of Manzanita KK, a neuroscience-based marketing consultancy in Japan. Together, they explore a wide range of topics, including the evolution of marketing from intuition-driven strategies to neurochemistry-based resonance, the mechanics of human decision-making, and the implications of new technologies like LLMs and immersive advertising tools. They also tackle profound questions about societal shifts, cultural identities, and the future of humanity in an era of technological acceleration. For more on Christopher's work, you can find him under the username "Demetrakos" across LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:23 Understanding Gen Three Marketing00:57 The Role of Neurochemicals in Marketing01:20 Paul Zak's Contributions and Smartwatch Technology02:56 Insights on Consumer Behavior and Language03:39 The Conscious vs. Non-Conscious Mind08:09 Decision Making and Cognitive Traits11:20 Addressing the Demographic Crisis19:55 The Future of Media and Advertising24:26 Social Overstimulation and Its Consequences36:42 Audience Reactions and Cultural Observations36:57 The Concept of Individualism in Japan39:24 Living as an Expat in Different Cultures40:55 Challenges of Being an Outsider in Japan43:48 Future of the Company and Expansion Plans46:53 The Role of AI in Advertising50:20 Philosophical Implications of AI and Accelerationism01:03:36 Spiritual and Existential Questions in a Technological World01:11:07 Closing Thoughts and Contact InformationKey InsightsMarketing and Neuroscience are Converging: Christopher Demetrakos introduces the concept of “resonance” in marketing, where campaigns are designed to align with consumers' psychological traits. By targeting specific neurochemical responses, like the simultaneous release of dopamine and oxytocin, marketers can move beyond the traditional focus on “liking” and instead drive action. This approach signals a revolutionary shift in how advertising is conceived and measured.The Limits of Conscious Awareness in Decision-Making: The episode highlights research showing that only 5% of cognition is conscious, with the rest governed by unconscious processes. Christopher shares examples of studies where people's midbrain activity predicted outcomes far better than their verbal responses, challenging traditional methods of market research and decision-making.Emerging Technologies Redefine Advertising: Tools like smartwatches and LLMs are poised to disrupt advertising by making it possible to predict and trigger consumer actions with unprecedented precision. Christopher envisions a future where AI not only analyzes markets but creates entire advertising campaigns, reducing reliance on traditional agencies.Demographic Challenges and Overstimulation: The conversation dives into the demographic crises faced by countries like Japan, connecting declining birth rates to societal overstimulation and paradoxes of choice. Easy access to technology, such as smartphones and social media, alters primal human drives, contributing to shifts in reproduction patterns and social behavior.The Media Landscape is Fracturing: Stewart and Christopher discuss how the shift from traditional media to social platforms has fragmented public attention. This change mirrors historical media disruptions, such as the printing press and television, but now points toward an era where hyper-targeted content and personalized advertising dominate.Future Societies and Existential Questions: As technology accelerates, Christopher suggests humanity may be transitioning from its “midlife” phase—focused on material prosperity—to a more reflective stage, grappling with spiritual and existential questions. He points to phenomena like morphic resonance and alternative community models as indicators of this evolution.Disruption as Opportunity and Challenge: The potential of Gen 3 marketing is both exhilarating and daunting. Christopher highlights the ethical concerns of wielding technology that can sell “anything to anyone” while emphasizing the importance of bold, visionary investors willing to transform the trillion-dollar advertising industry responsibly. This underscores the need to balance innovation with humanity's broader interests.

Are you in an Introvert-Extrovert relationship? Maybe you're the Introvert—you get energy more from your own thoughts—and your partner is the outgoing, Extraverted type.  If you don't understand each other, you may clash. Or, you could be an Extroverted woman with an Introverted man, which can be a challenging combination based on research. In our enlightening Love University podcast, love personality expert, Dr. Avila (Lovetypes: Discover Your Romantic Style And Find Your Soul Mate: Avila, Alexander: 9780380800148: Amazon.com: Books), delves into the world of Introversion and Extroversion in dating, love, and relationships. He reveals important tips on how to thrive in various personality love combinations, as follows: *Introverts and Extroverts have different needs for social energy. Introverts often like to stay home while Extroverts like to go out. Key to success: Extroverts, respect your Introverts need for “alone/quiet time,” while Introverts be OK with giving your Extrovert a boy's/girl's night out. *Introverts like to listen; Extroverts like to talk.  Although Introverts like to talk at times and Extroverts can listen, it's usually the Extrovert doing the majority of the talking. In this case, each partner needs to appreciate the other's style (Extroverts listen to Introverts; Introverts let your Extrovert enjoy their talking time). *Extrovert women and Introvert men can have challenges. Research shows that Extrovert women have the most problem with Introvert men in the areas of chores, finances, hobbies, communication and sex. If they don't respect each other's style, they will attack each other (“Why don't you speak up?” “Can you be quiet for once?”). The key of harmony in relationships is to appreciate and respect each other's unique personality style (LoveType). When partners do this, almost any combination can work—two Introverts or two Extroverts together; or an Introvert/Extrovert combination. Respect and mutual appreciation for each other's personality difference can work wonders in a relationship Special Announcement: Meet Dr. Avila live for a remarkable evening of conversation and networking: “Riches without Limits: Invincible You.” The free talk is being held on 11/10/24 at 7:00pm at the Brea Civic and Community Center.  Reserve your seat now while they last:  bit.ly/3Yich6g

The key of harmony in relationships is to appreciate and respect each other's unique personality style (LoveType). When partners do this, almost any combination can work—two Introverts or two Extroverts together; or an Introvert/Extrovert combination. Respect and mutual appreciation for each other's personality difference can work wonders in a relationship Special Announcement: Meet Dr. Avila live for a remarkable evening of conversation and networking: “Riches without Limits: Invincible You.” The free talk is being held on 11/10/24 at 7:00pm at the Brea Civic and Community Center.  Reserve your seat now while they last:  bit.ly/3Yich6g  

As a leader it can be tempting to point to team members as being responsible for team performance issues. Sometimes this is the case, but more often than not, we see a failure on the part of the leader to take different personality styles and preferences into account. This is actually the primary job of a leader, and what sets leadership responsibilities apart from individual contributor responsibilities, so in this episode, we delve into how your personality profoundly impacts your leadership style and effectiveness. We explore introversion and extroversion, sensorial vs. intuitive information processing, logical vs. feeling decision-making, and structured vs. flexible approaches. By understanding and balancing these preferences, leaders can enhance their ability to connect with their team, make better decisions, and ultimately achieve greater success. Even better, they can teach their team how to do the sameJoin us as we share insightful examples and practical strategies for growing into a more self-aware and adaptable leader.Episode Highlights:00:30 Understanding the Impact of Personality on Leadership00:58 Introversion vs. Extroversion in Leadership02:00 Adapting Leadership Styles for Team Effectiveness03:17 The Importance of Self-Awareness in Leadership04:50 Sensing vs. Intuition: Information Preferences08:38 Balancing Task and People Focus in Decision-Making11:04 Judging vs. Perceiving: Flexibility in Leadership14:27 The Path to Psychological Maturity and Effective LeadershipUseful Links:Get in touch with us at info@peopleleaders.com.auPeople Leaders Website - https://peopleleaders.com.au/People Leaders on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/people-leaders-pty-ltd/Connect with Jan Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/janterkelsen/Connect with Michelle Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-terkelsen-creating-high-performing-teams-a992744/Follow us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/people.leaders

"Being introverted is awesome. It's honestly a superpower and it should be celebrated, not apologized for." "We are more similar than we are different. We probably value the same things.

"We're really not all that different. We're really not that different. We're really all the same." "If we could all put our differences aside, stand side by side, things would be better."

In this episode, Bob Bennett, a seasoned entrepreneur, Founder and former CEO of Microfridge, Invoice Cloud, and EngageSmart, delves into the crucial role of luck in success and life. He shares insights on dispelling the myth that only extroverted individuals can excel in sales, emphasizing the power of building rapport. Bob articulates strategies for effective sales management, including the importance of embracing awkwardness and fostering trust. He discusses his leadership philosophy centered around an inverted pyramid, where leaders work for their team. Lastly, Bob provides actionable advice for new sales leaders, highlighting the significance of being a 'player-coach' and the importance of compounding experiences.  Takeaways: Luck and Adversity as Motivators: Embrace the role of luck and adversity in shaping one's career. Leaders should recognize that seemingly negative experiences can fuel motivation and resilience, driving individuals toward success.The Myth of Extroversion in Sales Success: Understand that successful salespeople do not necessarily fit the extroverted, gregarious stereotype. Introverts can excel in sales by leveraging their strengths, such as listening and focus, which often lead to high performance.Building Genuine Rapport: Encourage your team to build genuine rapport with clients. Invest time in understanding prospects on a personal level, as trust is a cornerstone of successful sales. Teach your team to get 'awkward' early to break down barriers and build authentic connections.4Compound Experience for Success: Promote the importance of putting in extra effort consistently. Small incremental efforts compound over time, resulting in significant experience and expertise, much like compound interest. Encourage your team to go the extra mile consistently.Servant Leadership: Adopt an inverted pyramid approach where leaders see themselves as working for their team. Focus on removing barriers for your team members, providing them with the support they need to succeed, and fostering a culture of mutual respect and collaboration.Embrace and Manage Awkwardness: Teach your team to embrace awkwardness in initial interactions. Use it as an opportunity to develop a bond and establish a peer-to-peer relationship with prospects, which is instrumental in building trust and credibility.Peer Learning and Knowledge Sharing: Foster a culture of knowledge sharing where top performers share their successful strategies with others. This not only helps in leveling up the entire team but also reinforces and rewards collaborative behavior, leading to collective success.Quote of the Show:“dealing with people and helping them grow as individuals is one of the most rewarding things you can do.” - Bob BennettLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-bennett-488b888/ Website: https://www.engagesmart.com/ Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Yb1wPzUxyrfR0Dx35ym1A Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-build-a-coaching-culture/id1699901434 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NvYWNoMnNjYWxlLWhvdy1tb2Rlcm4tbGVhZGVycy1idWlsZC1hLWNvYWNoaW5nLWN1bHR1cmU Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/fd188af6-7c17-4b2e-a0b2-196ecd6fdf77 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-5419703 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Coach2Scale CoachEm™ is the first Coaching Execution Platform that integrates deep learning technology to proactively analyze patterns, highlight the "why" behind the data with root causes, and identify the actions that will ultimately improve business results going forward.  These practical coaching recommendations for managers will help their teams drive more deals, bigger deals, faster deals and loyal customers.

And it's like, well, OK, but anybody can learn anything.”In this episode, Andrew and Joubin discuss WeCrashed, Paul Graham, vertical integration, automating sales, Ed Hallen, The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle, child prodigies, interview questions, public speaking and decompression, taking ownership, hiring engineers, burnout, and productivity habits.Chapters:(00:51) - Klaviyo's office (02:36) - Attention to detail (06:32) - Big decisions (12:23) - What Klaviyo does (14:50) - Its 2023 IPO (20:35) - The founding story (25:06) - Nature or nurture?

If you ever felt difficult, mouthy, or even like you couldn't advocate for yourself as a teen - or let's be real, maybe you still feel this way sometimes - this one's for you. And your inner teenager. Aly & I talk about overcoming the need to perform (rooted in childhood) and how healing our inner teenagers created space for us to live more authentically. I think you'll leave feeling more in touch with your feelings, open to expressing them, and maybe even allowing some more space in your life for your inner teenager to come out.

Our discussion of The Big 5 Personality Traits continues with a focus on Extroversion. This trait is a powerful one. With it comes the ability to collaborate and lead. If you are talkative, and someone who is comfortable sharing your insights and opinions and feels energized around others, you may be higher in extroversion. In this episode, we cover some ways you can develop or dial back your extroverted nature to establish strong relationships with others without feeling burned out.

Despite initially feeling overwhelmed by the thought of sales, he persevered, teaching himself through online resources and quickly rising to become the top salesperson in his company. As he continued to excel and take on leadership roles, his focus shifted towards empowering introverted sales professionals, challenging the belief that introverts are at a disadvantage in sales. His introduction to Mario Martinez Jr.'s brand occurred at the AI SP leadership summit, sparking thought-provoking conversations about introversion, extroversion, and the unique strengths introverts bring to the sales arena. This encounter laid the groundwork for a deeper exploration of sales and leadership, leading to the creation of Matthew's book, "The Introvert's Edge to Selling," and his unwavering commitment to reshaping the narrative around introverted success in sales.

Both conventional wisdom and widespread anecdotes point to the conclusion that extroverts make better leaders. But is there any evidence of this, or is this another belief with little basis in fact? In this episode, Andy and Mon-Chaio examine the misconceptions around introversion and extroversion and dive into the research around the relationship between extroversion and leadership acumen. They then shift the conversation to the practical implications of these findings for engineering organizations, discussing how leaders, regardless of their place on the extroversion spectrum, can leverage their innate strengths to build and maintain high-performing teams.

The boys drink and review Super Thick Pastry Stout from Old Mother Brewing in Frederick, Maryland, then discuss the Big 5 personality characteristics. There are a lot of personality tests out there, like Myers Briggs and the Enneagram. Those aren't as solidly based in science as the Big Five. You can remember the Big Five with with of two acrostics, OCEAN or CANOE. They are ... The Big Five personality traits, also known as the Five Factor Model (FFM), are a widely accepted framework for understanding human personality. They represent broad dimensions of individual differences in personality. Here's a brief explanation of each: Openness to Experience features characteristics such as imagination, insight, and a broad range of interests. Individuals high in openness are often curious about the world and other people, eager to learn new things, and open to new experiences, including unconventional ideas or novel solutions. They tend to be creative and appreciative of art and beauty. Conscientiousness involves high levels of thoughtfulness, good impulse control, and goal-directed behaviors. Highly conscientious individuals are organized, reliable, and diligent. They plan ahead, work systematically, and carry out tasks with attention to detail. This trait is often linked with academic and career success. Extroversion is characterized by excitability, sociability, talkativeness, assertiveness, and high amounts of emotional expressiveness. Extroverts derive energy from social interaction, are often enthusiastic and action-oriented, enjoy being around people, and are often perceived as full of life and energy. Agreeableness includes attributes such as trust, altruism, kindness, affection, and other prosocial behaviors. Individuals who score high in agreeableness tend to be cooperative, compassionate, and friendly. They are more inclined to help others and value getting along with people. Neuroticism is associated with emotional instability, anxiety, moodiness, irritability, and sadness. Individuals high in neuroticism may experience more frequent and severe negative emotions than their peers. They tend to respond worse to stressors, are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening, and can struggle to bounce back from challenging events. After the boys conclude their discussion of the Big Five, Pigweed relates a story from Mrs. Pigweed, who went to pronoun class. P&C review some of the material from the class and conclude it's a huge smoking pile of nonsense. At the end of the show, Crowhill takes a shot at reading "the worst sentence ever written" by Judith Butler.

In today's relentless pursuit of peak performance, might the real key to enduring success lie in understanding our unique rhythms and the notion of 'just enough'? In this episode of The Health Feast podcast, Dr. Rak and Po welcome David Goldman, MS, RD, CSSD, CSCS. David is an accomplished sports nutritionist and exercise physiologist, perhaps best known for his role as Chief Science Advisor for the groundbreaking documentary The Game Changers. His expertise has been instrumental in propelling the careers of athletes across collegiate, professional, and Olympic levels. The conversation begins with a candid exploration of anxiety, sensory overload, and the downregulation of the nervous system. David shares personal anecdotes about his own challenges and the strategies he employs to maintain equilibrium in an overstimulating world. The exchange with David takes us on a journey through the world of plant-based nutrition, challenging the conventional narrative of dietary restrictions and opening our eyes to the empowering abundance of choices that can nourish us to our core. The discussion then turns to the physical, where David introduces the concept of 'minimum effective dose' in exercise. Through this lens, we examine how a tailored approach to fitness can maximize well-being and longevity, balancing the scales between the hustle for gains and the wisdom of sustainability. David's wisdom extends to his views on social media. In a world where online presence is often equated with success, he deliberately steps back, valuing deep, meaningful connections over the superficial interactions that platforms encourage. He describes this choice as a way to preserve his energy for true engagement and well-being in his life. Wrapping up our discussion, it becomes evident that David's philosophies offer a holistic blueprint for long-term success—one that values mindful pacing, genuine connections, and a celebration of life's abundance. Join us as we unpack these topics and more, leaving you with a profound consideration: in our pursuit of life's goals, could less effort, in fact, bring us closer to our true potential?

Today's topic relates to how we function among other people. Introversion and Extraversion tend to be simplified in the public eye to the point where people are purely defined by how outgoing they are. I'd like to give a better definition.

SummaryIn this episode, Jessica Pan discusses her book 'Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come' and her journey of embracing extroversion. As we discuss on the show, Jessica is almost the opposite to me – she's an introvert who learnt to be more extraverted, whereas I started exploring Alonement as a means of dealing with my fear, as an extrovert, of being alone. She tells me about her journey to embrace solo travel, socialising with strangers and making new friends, all with the help of her 'extrovert mentors'. What this following episode touches on is the importance of balance and choice around how we spend our alone time, plus how learning to integrate more connection in your life can help you fall back in love with your solitude. We also touch on the loneliness of big cities, particularly London, and how Jessica has managed to curate her own tiny village within the UK capital. Jessica also talks about starting her Substack newsletter, It'll Be Fun, They Said, based on part-time job working in a local independent bookshop. Finally, she shares her favourite kinds of alone time, which involves reading by the ocean and journaling in a cafe.TakeawaysEmbracing alone time can be a luxurious and fulfilling experience when it is a choice.Working in a bookshop can be enchanting and provide opportunities for meaningful connections with customers.Journaling is a valuable tool for self-reflection and understanding one's thoughts and feelings.Solo travel can be challenging but can also provide opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery.Having extrovert mentors can provide guidance and support in navigating social situations.Chapters00:00Introduction and Background02:21Different Journeys, Same Goal03:42The Fluidity of Introversion and Extroversion04:10The Pleasure of Working in a Bookshop05:31Starting the Substack Newsletter06:30Choosing Pleasure and Storytelling08:25The Enchantment of Working in a Bookshop09:50The Joy of Working in a Bookshop10:46The Aspirational Lifestyle of Working in a Bookshop11:02Balancing Work and Alone Time12:57The Privilege and Prison of Being Alone13:57Choosing to Be Alone14:25The Nuance of Enjoying Alone Time15:24The Universal Loneliness Problem16:48The Counterintuitive Decision to Be an Extrovert17:18The Loneliness of Metropolitan Life19:10The Surprise Solo Travel Experience23:12The Challenges of Solo Travel25:08The Benefit of Extrovert Mentors32:50Favorite Extrovert Adventures36:36Gaining Compassion for Introverted Parts40:05Tips for Spending Time Alone45:27Appreciating Introverted Parts of Yourself46:26Creating a Village in the City49:21Curating a Community51:17Creating Connections52:15Favourite Alone TimeThank you to our season sponsor Sensate, a palm-sized infrasonic stress and anti-anxiety device.

Jessica Pan hated social gatherings - she cried when her friends threw her a surprise birthday party, and was even too scared to give a speech at her own wedding. Jessica was a hardcore introvert - and it was making her sad.   Extroverts find it easier to experience the joy that comes with social interactions - but that doesn't mean introverts are doomed to lives that lack such fun. Jessica read some research that suggested introverts can learn to enjoy being more outgoing - so decided to turn her social life around.  You can read more of Jessica's story in her book: Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come: An Introvert's Year of Living Dangerously. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
