Embracing Failure as Part of Success Are you avoiding failure? In this thought-provoking episode of the Building Better Humans Project podcast, host Glenn, challenges our conventional understanding of failure.

Mastering Emotional Intelligence: The Key to Success Beyond IQ Are you letting your emotions run you, or are you running them? In this compelling episode of the Building Better Humans podcast, host Glenn Azar dives deep into emotional intelligence - the hidden factor that often determines success more than IQ, education, or raw talent. Contrary to popular belief, emotional intelligence isn't about being "soft" or overly emotional; it's about self-awareness, self-control, and performing under pressure. When mastered, it transforms decision-making, strengthens relationships, and keeps you calm while others lose their composure. The episode breaks down emotional intelligence into four critical components: self-awareness (understanding your feelings), self-management (regulating emotions), social awareness (recognizing others' feelings), and relationship management (using awareness to build trust and resolve conflicts). Drawing from his military background, Glenn shares how he learned that true leadership isn't about rank but about trust built through emotional intelligence. Timestamps and Key Takeaways: **02:15** - The four components of emotional intelligence defined- Self-awareness: Understanding your emotions and triggers- Self-management: Regulating emotions instead of being hijacked by them- Social awareness: Recognizing others' feelings (empathy)- Relationship management: Using awareness to build trust and resolve conflicts **04:30** - Real-life applications of emotional intelligence- How you respond to triggers from partners- Managing reactions to children's behavior- Handling criticism at work without defensiveness **06:10** - Three practical ways to build emotional intelligence1.

In this eye-opening episode of the Building Better Humans Project podcast, host Glenn Azar reveals why your life is a direct reflection of your habits, not your aspirations.

More importantly, Glenn shares practical strategies for rewiring your habits to support the life you want, drawing from his military experience and client success stories. Glenn explains that transformation doesn't come from massive action but from small, consistent behaviors repeated daily.
