Podcasts about Get What You Want

Send us Fan MailThere's a moment after every promotion where you have a decision to make, even if you don't realize you're making it. Keep leading the way that got you here, or figure out what this new role actually needs from you. Most leaders default to the first one without noticing.That default is a negotiation problem, not a personality trait. The way you show up sets the pattern for how everyone around you responds, and if you don't reset it, neither will they.That's the shift most new leaders skip, and it's not automatic just because your title changed.In this episode, I'll cover:Say the shift out loud, to your team and to yourselfAsk more questions instead of jumping straight to answersAnticipate what your boss needs before they have to ask

Ed conducted a training session on the "Color Picture CMA Tour" technique, a 15-year-old method he uses to help sellers become more realistic about their home's value without directly persuading them. The process involves creating a competitive analysis package with at least four comparable properties, presenting them as a game where sellers guess sale prices, and gradually retraining their expectations through a controlled comparison process. Ed demonstrated how the technique helps reduce sellers' overoptimistic price expectations by leveraging their natural desire to win a contest, resulting in approximately 80% of listings being successfully obtained after implementing this approach.

It's easy to chalk that up to a skills gap, but that's rarely the real problem.I'm breaking down what's actually happening in that gap between what you pictured and what got delivered, and why the fix isn't about micromanaging harder. It comes down to something most leaders skip entirely, and once you see it, you can't unsee it in your own team.In this episode, I'll cover:Notice the pattern behind every "that's not what I asked for" momentRethink whether it's really a them problem or a you problemSee what's actually missing before you blame the person who delivered it

Send us a message!There's a fairly persuasive myth about power: that once you have enough of it, everything else follows. This episode makes a decent case against that, using nothing more dramatic than a chief executive who can restructure an entire division and still can't get their own kid to tidy their room. If you've ever wondered why some very senior people still don't get listened to, or why some people with almost nothing get listened to constantly, this one's for you.Join KG and Paul as they chat to Jen Overbeck about why having power and having influence turn out to be two genuinely different things.As usual episode's wine comes from our friends, Annandale Cellars, and it's the 2025 Schmölzer & Brown Beechworth Merlot, a straight varietal from Tessa Brown and Jeremy Schmölzer's high-altitude vineyard.

You can lose the weight and still feel like a stranger in your own body. Identity-led transformation coach Hina Khan joins Gina Livy to explain why so many women regain weight even after doing everything right. It's not from a lack of discipline, but because their self-image never caught up to the change. They get into the idea of a mental "set point," why you unconsciously undo your own progress to feel normal again, the trap of "when-then" living (I'll be happy when I hit the goal), and why imposter syndrome isn't a stop sign, it's a signal to expand your capacity, not shrink your goals.Hina Khan is the author of A Return to You and host of The Possibilities with Hina Khan podcast.Where to Find Hina:Website: https://hinakhan.caInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachwithhinaYou'll find Hina's book, A Return to YOU, here: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1965653278 This podcast aligns with Day one of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026 Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailI have three questions I come back to more than almost any other with my clients, and every time, I watch a smart, accomplished leader go quiet. Not because they're unsure. Because they've never had to answer it before.I'm sharing what those three questions are and what that quiet usually means. It's rarely about what people think it's about, and once you see it, it's hard to unsee.In this episode, I'll cover:Recognize when you're treating something as fixed that's actually up for negotiationNotice what you're not saying, even when you think you've been clearWalk into your next high-stakes conversation seeing what you've been missing

Ed Lane conducted a Scripting Fridays training session focused on coaching sellers to set realistic home prices. He explained that pricing is a marketing decision, not an emotional one, and outlined four key markets sellers must consider: seller's market, agent's market, buyer's market, and actual market. Ed discussed the importance of the first two weeks as the most critical period for generating buyer interest and warned against wasting this window with overpricing. He emphasized using data-driven CMA analysis to support pricing decisions and shared scripts for communicating with sellers about market value versus list price strategy. The session included specific guidance on how to present comparable sales data and when to implement price reductions. Jodi asked about handling a rural listing that had been on the market for over six months with minimal showings, and Ed provided advice on price reduction strategies and MLS relisting policies.

This was a Scripting Fridays session of the Agent Power Huddle led by Ed Lane, who presented a deep dive on the Moving Concierge Program as a tool for converting seller leads. Ed explained how the program offers sellers three options for selling their homes: cash offer, as-is on the market, or as-repaired on the market, and shared scripts and tools for presenting this approach to clients. He emphasized the importance of demonstrating a 40% return on investment (ROI) before proceeding with repairs and using a side-by-side comparison tool to help clients visualize the different scenarios. During the Q&A portion, Alyson shared success using Ed's whatwouldedsay.com chat tool to help a difficult client situation involving an emotional seller in Oregon who was planning to raise his price by $100,000 monthly despite poor showings, and discussed her growing REO business with positive feedback from contractors.

Ed Lane conducted a Scripting Fridays session of Agent Power Huddle focused on difficult conversations as the real estate market shifts. Ed discussed strategies for handling challenging situations including telling sellers their homes aren't worth what they think, implementing price reductions, addressing buyers with financial instability, and managing unrealistic client expectations. He emphasized the importance of honesty, empathy, and proper timing in these conversations, explaining that agents who avoid difficult conversations often pay higher costs later. Ed shared specific scripts and techniques for delivering difficult news while building trust, and encouraged participants to identify their most challenging conversations and develop scripts for those situations.

Send us Fan MailThere's a version of negotiation that has nothing to do with raises or job offers. It happens in ordinary conversations, when an agreement quietly becomes something bigger than what you actually said yes to.Most people don't catch it in the moment. They catch it later, and by then they've already started doubting themselves instead of questioning what changed. That self-doubt is doing more damage than the shift itself.I'm breaking down why this happens, how to spot it before it becomes a habit, and what to do the next time you feel that gap between what you agreed to and what you're now expected to do.In this episode, I'll cover:Why scope creep is a negotiation problem most people never label as oneThe difference between doubting your memory and correctly identifying a shiftWhat to do the moment you notice the gap, before it becomes a pattern

Send us Fan MailAlmost every company is rolling out AI right now, but far fewer have any idea how to actually adopt it.That gap is where leaders are getting caught. The pressure is to cut costs and move fast, so the message becomes "everyone start using AI" with almost no conversation about how. Meanwhile, your team is picking it up at completely different speeds, and the differences start showing up in trust, in communication, in who's actually still growing.In this episode, I'll cover:Spot the signal that someone's communication has quietly shiftedGet your team adopting AI together instead of at different speedsDecide what to delegate to AI and what to keep human on purpose

Brant Pinvidic, Hollywood producer and author of The 3 Minute Rule, shares how he accidentally discovered his pitch methodology after being asked to help investment bankers stop putting people to sleep. He breaks down the WHAC method (What is it, How does it work, Are you sure, Can you do it), explains the critical difference between informative and engaging content, and demonstrates his framework live by helping refine the Unmistakable Creative podcast pitch. Brant discusses why most pitches fail in the first 3 minutes, how to capture attention through statements rather than questions, and why simplicity beats complexity when communicating ideas.

And automatic isn't the same as generous.This episode is about catching that yes before it leaves your mouth, and saying no instead in a way that's warm, fast, and doesn't cost you the relationship.

Ed Lane hosted a Scripting Fridays session focused on price reduction strategies for real estate listings in the current market. He explained that sellers need to understand the market has shifted significantly from 2021, with bidding wars becoming rare and buyers negotiating aggressively due to inflation, gas prices, and global uncertainties. Ed outlined three key reasons homes don't sell - price, condition, and exposure - and provided scripts for having difficult conversations with sellers about price reductions. He emphasized the importance of early price adjustments, using market data to support recommendations, and maintaining seller confidence through collaborative language. The session included discussions about moving concierge services, contractor options for home repairs, and the use of AI tools like whatwouldedsay.com for real estate scenarios.

Ed Lane hosted a Scripting Fridays session focused on market conditions and strategies for real estate agents during the current "surreal market" where inventory is low but buyer sentiment is cautious due to geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty. Ed explained that despite being technically a seller's market with 6+ months of inventory, the market is behaving like a buyer's market as buyers remain hesitant, creating opportunities for agents to negotiate with sellers who have been on the market for extended periods. He emphasized that a settlement in Iran could lead to lower rates and gas prices, making it an optimal time for buyers to enter the market with potential seller-funded buy-downs. The discussion included specific advice on handling overpriced listings, with Ed recommending that Allison use market statistics and data to persuade a seller in Portland who had increased their price after 140 days on the market. Ed stressed the importance of helping clients focus on emotional reasons for buying or selling rather than being driven by headlines, and encouraged agents to use follow-up plans and pre-approvals to move hesitant buyers along the decision-making continuum.

Send us Fan MailGetting a no can throw you in a way that doesn't really make sense until you've felt it. You make the ask, it doesn't land, and suddenly you're quiet and a little off your game, and the worst part is how long that feeling sticks around afterward.What you might not realize is that the people in the room feel it too. They're not walking away thinking about what you asked for. They're thinking about how you handled not getting it, and that impression can quietly shape how they see you for a long time. In this episode, I get into why no hits us so hard, why so many of them slip past us disguised as something softer, and how to stop letting a single no knock you off your footing.In this episode, I'll cover:Why a no can rattle you more than it should and what's actually behind thatThe kind of no most people completely missHow to stay steady and keep the conversation going when you don't get the yes_____________________

When I was growing up, asking for what you wanted was not seen as a good thing. It was considered impolite, as though you were putting somebody out or being an imposition. If someone offered something to you, then you could say yes, but asking directly was different. It felt as though you were putting someone on the spot. I am not really sure what that mentality or belief system was about, but it shaped the way I thought about asking. That belief shifted when I was working in one of my first careers in a sales organization. They completely flipped the script. Their whole mentality was that if you do not ask, you do not get. At first, that felt very different from what I had been taught, but it also made sense. We are not going to get what we want if we do not ask, unless we are relying on someone else to anticipate our needs or read our mind. Retraining that muscle was not easy because I had spent so much of my life believing it was impolite to ask. Then I found myself in an environment where the message was clear. Ask for what you want. Lately, I have been thinking about that a lot because I am noticing it in myself and in others. On this Wise Walk, we explore the power of asking for what we want. What is your belief system around asking for things that you want in your life? When you think about asking for what you want, do you cringe because it feels impolite or uncomfortable? Are you in a place where you feel clear about what you want and need, and you are not afraid to ask for it? Is there something in your life right now that you want but have been hesitant to ask for? Is there someone you interact with consistently, and you find yourself hoping or waiting for them to offer something just so you can say yes? How can you flip your own script and get clear about what you need or want without being afraid to ask? What are the things you know about yourself at your core and have been able to express, communicate, or ask for? How does it feel when people understand what you want and serve it up to you, even when you do not have to ask? Do you notice how communicating your needs and wants can empower you while also giving others the opportunity to support you? How can asking, giving, and receiving flow more smoothly in your life? Is there something in your life, right now, that you need help with? What has been weighing on you, and where are you wondering how you are going to accomplish it? Can you journal, write, brainstorm with a loved one, or use another resource to get clear on the different ways you could approach this? Can you identify one opportunity, be vulnerable enough to ask, and then be patient enough to wait for the answer? What phase of help do you need right now, and who can you ask for help? Can you appreciate the sense of community that may rally around you to help you gain what you need? Have you ever offered advice or support in a conversation, only to realize that was not what the other person needed? Can you pause and ask, "What do you need from me?" or "How can I support you best?" Can you believe what someone tells you they need and show up for them in the way they are asking? As we approach episode 300, I want to thank you for being part of this community and for walking beside me on each Wise Walk. Your support, your stories, and your reflections mean more to me than you know. I would love your guidance as we look ahead. Please let me know what you value, what you want more of, and what you hope this podcast becomes in episode 300 and beyond. In this episode: [03:31] I've noticed how the belief that it's impolite to ask has shown up in the actions of my nieces and nephews. [04:25] Not expressing what you want shows up in little ways, and then it becomes exponentially larger with things that really matter in your life. [05:26] Knowing and expressing what you want gives other people the opportunity to be on your level. [06:44] Those around us get the satisfaction of giving us what we want when we express to them what we want. [07:46] Since my move, I've had to ask for a lot of things. One of the things I wanted to learn was how to safely drive a tractor.  [09:07] I went to the dealership, and they helped me learn how to drive the existing tractor. The hands-on tutorial empowered me, and I made some friends along the way. [11:31] The other thing I've gotten good at is recognizing when someone is sharing stories, whether they're asking for help or not. [12:59] Clarifying whether they're asking for help builds the foundation of trust. [13:36] Sometimes people just want us to listen. What is the ask? [15:14] I will admit that using the muscle of asking can sometimes feel hard. [16:05] What do you appreciate and value in this podcast? What would you like to hear more of? Which episode stands out as meaningful? What would you like to see differently? [17:03] We are nearing episode 300 of this podcast. Let me know what you're feeling, and what you hope 300 and beyond becomes? [18:04] This community is bringing people together and raising conversations we all know that we need to have.  Memorable Quotes: "That muscle of asking, or at least being clear with what we want, is strengthened by those day-to-day routines." - Mary Tess "When we are vulnerable enough to ask, we get to see who shows up for us. By expressing what is weighing on us, we allow the community to help share the load." - Mary Tess "I know that what is most empowering for me is hearing from you and learning how these episodes either spark something in you or open the door to meaningful conversations." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

Ed Lane conducted a real estate scripting training session focused on seller conversations for the agent power huddle. He discussed the current market conditions, explaining how it's technically a seller's market with less than 6 months of inventory but behaving like a buyer's market due to buyer hesitation. Ed covered three essential seller conversations: initial inquiry, listing appointments, and price reduction discussions, emphasizing the importance of building rapport through inquisitive questioning and using data-driven approaches to address seller concerns about pricing. He shared specific scripts and strategies for handling objections, including the "right price promise" concept and explaining how professional marketing, photography, and targeted buyer outreach create competitive advantages. The session included practical examples of how to position services as a team approach with dedicated specialists rather than a solo agent, and Ed demonstrated techniques for managing price reduction conversations with empathy while maintaining professional guidance.

As judges continue to weigh in, President Trump is finding that despite his litigious efforts, he can't always get what he wants. Mary and Andrew begin this week with the latest fallout from his $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, which is now under judicial review after a group of federal judges filed a motion arguing that the original lawsuit that prompted the fund was “itself a fraud on the court.” This prompted the news, first reported by Axios, that the Trump administration would abandon the fund altogether. Mary and Andrew tie this into another instance in which the administration is losing in the courts, with Judge Mehta's decision refusing to dismiss the indictment of Oath Keepers' leader Stewart Rhodes, among others whose sentences were commuted. They then move to a ruling ordering the removal of Trump's name from the Kennedy Center facade, a setback in his attempt to reshape the renowned preforming arts center. And after an update on the criminal case against the Southern Poverty Law Center, Andrew shares some insight into his recent New York Times op-ed which offers a path to stop vindictive prosecutions altogether.

Ed conducted a training session on Google Local Service Ads (LSA) for the Agent Power Huddle group, sharing his experience and strategies for generating high-quality real estate leads. Ed explained how LSA leads differ from traditional PPC ads, emphasizing their search-triggered nature and higher intent, with leads costing around $75 per call and being verified by AI to ensure quality. He detailed the setup process, including creating a Google My Business profile, verifying credentials, and setting an initial budget of $500-1,000 per week, which he later increased to $10,000 to demonstrate serious business intent. Ed shared his success story of generating 8 leads in 24 hours and securing 7 signed listing agreements within that timeframe, using a specific script that addresses the legal requirement of Senate Bill 5191 and offers flexibility in contract signing. He also discussed expanding from local to state-level targeting once systems are established and explained how to handle referrals when leads are outside your market area. The training concluded with Ed encouraging participants to set up their LSA profiles and emphasizing the importance of responding to leads within 5 minutes based on MIT study findings.

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” We've all heard it countless times. But where did that idea come from—and is it actually true? Researchers have taken a much closer look at breakfast and the findings may surprise you. Source: https://www.bmj.com/content/364/bmj.l42 Whether you realize it or not, you negotiate all day long—with your spouse, kids, friends, coworkers, and even strangers. The ability to persuade people and navigate difficult conversations can dramatically improve your personal and professional life. Attia Qureshi has spent decades teaching negotiation and persuasion strategies to leaders and organizations. In our conversation, she explains the subtle skills that make people more influential, why persuasion is often misunderstood, and how small changes in communication can help you get better outcomes without being manipulative or aggressive. Attia is founder of AQ Consulting, former MIT faculty member, adjunct professor at the University of Michigan, and co-author of Never Settle: Persuasion & Negotiation Skills to Get What You Want (https://amzn.to/4ugR3US). Attia's exclusive link for SYSK listeners: https://www.attiaqureshi.com/something Most people embrace emotions like joy and happiness while trying to avoid emotions such as anger, jealousy, shame, envy, and regret. But those darker emotions may actually contain important information about who you are, what you value, and what's happening beneath the surface of your life. Daniel Smith, psychotherapist and author of Hard Feelings: Finding the Wisdom in Our Darkest Emotions (https://amzn.to/4dPzBkw), explains why these uncomfortable emotions exist, what purpose they serve, and why understanding them may be essential for emotional growth and self-awareness. Human attraction is far more complicated than simply “good looks.” In fact, repeated exposure, familiarity, attention, and several other subtle factors can quietly make someone seem more attractive over time—even when nothing about their appearance changes. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/evolutionary-human-sciences/article/visual-attention-to-faces-during-attractiveness-and-dominance-judgements/38F4497B251EFE2D8ED9F4D37F82D9C5 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS POCKET HOSE: For a limited time, when you purchase a new Pocket Hose Ballistic, you'll get a FREE 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a FREE thumb drive nozzle!

Send us Fan MailMost of us hear "office politics" and immediately distance ourselves. It sounds manipulative, underhanded, like something people with questionable integrity do to get ahead. So we opt out. We stay professional, stay quiet, keep our heads down.But opting out is still a choice. And while you're making it, someone else is in the room getting credit for your idea, volunteering to send out your work, and positioning himself for the opportunity you didn't raise your hand for.In this episode, I'll cover:Why refusing to engage with office politics is still a position, and what it costs youThe three-part formula that separates real influence from manipulationHow to make your value visible without becoming someone you're not_____________________

This meeting was a real estate training session led by Ed Lane, a 39-year veteran agent with over 3,000 sales, focused on handling multiple offer situations in the current market. Ed explained that with limited inventory (about 2.5 months supply) and the potential return of buyers after the war ends, multiple offers are becoming more common in certain Seattle areas. He outlined a systematic approach to managing multiple offers, emphasizing that the moment a second offer is received "unlocks" the process and creates competitive pressure that can be leveraged for better terms beyond just price. Ed covered key strategies including using a comparison spreadsheet to evaluate offers side-by-side, explaining the four possible paths (accept, reject, counter, or request highest and best), and providing scripts for communicating with sellers and buyer agents. The session included discussions about handling buyer agent inquiries, setting firm deadlines for highest and best offers, and sending follow-up emails with constructive feedback on offer terms without being offensive. Ed also addressed common mistakes agents make, including getting emotional, chasing price only, and failing to vet lenders properly. The training concluded with a Q&A where participants discussed how to handle buyer agents asking questions about MLS verbiage they haven't reviewed, with Ed advising to be helpful and view it as part of the sales process rather than a burden.

Persuasion seems conspicuously absent from our politics.  Not shouting, denouncing, or trying to convince the "other side" that they're wrong, evil, or both.  But the good faithed attempt to reach the hearts, minds, and emotions of others and persuade them to our point of view.  Why?  Why is persuasion so hard?  And is it even possible to persuade in an era of political polarization?   Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis welcomes fellow "Josh"—Josh Bandoch—on the show to discuss his latest book, How to Get What You Want: Mastering the Art and Science of Persuasion, and to explore how persuasion can engage with how the human brain is actually wired.   About Josh Bandoch Bio from Illinois Policy   Josh Bandoch is the Head of Policy at the Illinois Policy Institute.   His research focuses on empowering people to rise out of poverty, increasing social mobility, improving housing affordability, and removing barriers to opportunity (e.g. burdensome regulations). His work has appeared in popular outlets like National Review, Real Clear Policy, RealClearMarkets, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Crain's Chicago Business, The Washington Examiner, The Washington Times, and Discourse, as well as peer-reviewed journals like Political Studies. He regularly appears in the media to discuss these and other policy issues, and speaks regularly at local and national events.   He is the author of The Politics of Place: Montesquieu, Particularism, and the Pursuit of Liberty (University of Rochester Press, 2017), which has received numerous positive reviews. He's currently working with his literary agent to submit his book manuscript on persuasion to publishers.

Send us Fan MailYou've been thinking about a conversation for days, maybe longer, and when you finally walk in, something unexpected happens. The other person says something that catches you off guard, the energy shifts, and suddenly everything you planned feels out of reach. You end up agreeing to something you didn't mean to, and you spend the drive home wondering how it went sideways so fast.That moment isn't about confidence. It's about preparation, and specifically what happens when the other person in that room did more of it than you did.In this episode, I'll cover:Why "being good on the fly" is a myth that puts even experienced people at a serious disadvantageThe three things to write down before any high-stakes conversation so your past self can anchor you when emotions take overHow your emotions can be used as a tactic against you, and why preparation is the thing that takes that off the table_____________________

"Emotions drive 90 to 95% of our unconscious decision-making." Attia Qureshi is back — and this time, we go deeper. After her first interview, Attia's insights on persuasion and negotiation were so helpful that Anthony put them to the test in a real-life negotiation and said, "they changed the game." So, we invited her back to go deeper into the ideas behind her book, Never Settle: Persuasion and Negotiation Skills to Get What You Want, and explore how each Enneagram type approaches one of the most important conversations we can have: asking for what we need.But, as Attia explains, negotiation isn't just something that happens across a boardroom table. It happens every day – with our spouses, our kids, our coworkers, our neighbors, and perhaps most importantly, within ourselves. Before we ever make an ask, we have to face the internal stories, emotions, fears, and assumptions that often keep us from speaking up in the first place. In this episode, we explore how different Enneagram types navigate negotiation, conflict, emotional regulation, self-advocacy, and the art of creating value without damaging relationships. We unpack why some types avoid the ask, why others over-assert, why some need more clarity around what they actually want, and how every type can grow in confidence, courage, and self-awareness. You'll learn: How emotions shape the way we ask – or don't ask – for what we need How to identify and label your emotions so they stop driving your decisions unconsciously The worst-case scenario exercise that builds resilience and inoculates you against fear What each Enneagram type brings to the negotiation table — where they shine, where they get stuck, and what to do about it A breathing technique that signals your nervous system it's safe before a high-stakes conversation You can learn more about Attia and grab her free resource for Typology listeners, which includes a breakdown of each Enneagram type's negotiation strengths, blind spots, and exercises at https://attiaqureshi.com/typology.  Never Settle: Persuasion and Negotiation Skills to Get What You Want by Attia Qureshi and John Richardson is available now wherever books are sold.  

Forty Colombian farmers sat looking at her, completely unimpressed, when the cartel boss in the back of the room opened a case and a drone flew up out of it. In this episode, I sit down with Attia Qureshi, the negotiation teacher who learned her craft running State Department conflict-resolution work in cartel-controlled coca regions of Colombia, and who now teaches at the University of Michigan after a stint at MIT Sloan. Her new book Never Settle, with a foreword by Sheila Heen and endorsements from Daniel Pink, Robert Cialdini, and Chris Voss, hits shelves next week. The thing I love about her work is that she does not treat negotiation as a boardroom sport. She treats it as a daily relationship skill, the kind you practice with your barista so it is already in your hands when something hard comes up at home. In This Episode The four-step sequence Attia used to reset a room of 40 unimpressed farmers and a cartel boss with a drone, and how the same four steps work in your kitchen tonight Why "take out the trash" is the position and not the actual ask, and the one-sentence reframe that changes how you fight about household chores The fifth-grade bullying story that produced the hard shell most of us are still wearing into adulthood The seven-word test that tells you whether you are influencing someone or manipulating them Why the freeze you feel when you try to speak up is physiology, not personality, and what to do about it in real time How to know when you are giving too much to a taker, and the experiment Attia recommends before you decide to cut losses The literal glass of lemonade that turned a hostile next-door neighbor into a friendly one, and the Cialdini-backed science underneath it Why This Matters This episode is for anyone who knows what they want and goes quiet when it is time to ask. For anyone stuck in a loop with a difficult coworker or in-law that has been the same loop for three years. For anyone who has tried the assertive thing once and the people-pleasing thing once and is exhausted by both, and who wants a path that does not require a personality transplant.

We live in a world of markets. The ones we can easily see, like grocery stores or restaurants. And the ones that are less obvious, like college admission, waitlists, even your schedule. Yet these less obvious markets play an important role in our lives. That's why I wanted to speak with University of Pennsylvania economist, Judd Kessler, author of the book, Lucky by Design: The Hidden Economics You Need to Get What You Want. He not only helps us recognize these hidden markets, but he also arms us with the knowledge we need to succeed in them. This is a book that will help you see the world with fresh eyes. You'll not only understand how these less obvious markets work, but you'll gain tips on more effectively designing your own. Related Links Is There a More Fair Way to Sell World Cup Tickets?

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM722_MDM_Mar12_26.mp3   There's a moment where you have to decide—are you going to sit back and wait for things to change, or are you willing to become the person who actually creates the result? Because the truth is, nothing shifts until you do. Most people were raised to play it safe. To wait. To calculate. To make sure everything lines up before they move. But that way of thinking keeps you locked into the same results, over and over again. It's not about what you know—it's about who you are being when it's time to act. Becoming the person requires action, not thoughtYou can read the books. You can listen to the podcast. You can visualize what you want. But if you don't become the person who executes when it matters, nothing changes. The real shift happens at the point of decision—when fear shows up and you move anyway. That's where most people back off. They hesitate, justify, and retreat to what feels safe. And in that moment, they undo all the work they've been doing internally. Become the person who follows through no matter whatThere's a standard you have to set for yourself. A line you refuse to cross backwards. When you become the person who follows through—who makes the call, closes the gap, and does what's required—you start to see a different reality show up. Not because it's random. But because you're no longer waiting for life to change—you're causing it.
