Podcasts about negotiating

My guest today for the second time is Mark Dow. Mark is one of my favourite thinkers on Macro, and his experience at the IMF, the US Treasury, and Wall Street gives him a truly unique perspective for the current moment. As we went through one of the biggest market and policy upheavals of my career, I reached out to Mark to help us make sense of this situation. We recorded this episode on Thursday, the 10th of April, and talked about the general principle behind tariffs, the global trading system, the goals of President Trump, and the market reaction. Please enjoy this conversation with Mark Dow.

Jesse uses a real life boot camp example of how good can come out of a chaotic situation. That is Trump's negotiating style, it's chaotic, but with a clear goal in mind. How much of the Trump agenda has been written into law and why it takes so long to get things done in DC. We have a chance to unseat RINO, John Cornyn in Texas, with Ken Paxton announcing he is running for Senate. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Truth in Politics and Culture, we will talk about how the President's decision to pause tariffs for 90 days on everyone but China will affect the US and world economy. Also, House conservatives are holding out for more spending cuts as the debate over President Trump's big beautiful bill moves from the Senate to the House. We also talk briefly about some of the things that are happening in the SC Legislature as we are down to 10 legislative days before the end of the session.

Stoicism combined with empathy may sound like a contradiction in terms. But when these seemingly opposing forces are harnessed together, they have the power to change your life. In today's episode, I explore the concept of "stoic empathy" with award-winning lawyer, speaker, and thought leader Shermin Kruse. Blending cutting-edge research, ancient Stoic wisdom, and practical strategies, she challenges the traditional view of empathy as purely emotional, instead introducing a cognitive approach that allows us to understand others without losing control of our own emotions.

“Kidnappers are just businessmen looking for a great deal”    That's how Scott Walker, legendary hostage negotiator reframes his work (with a 93% success rate) in high stakes situations you can apply to yours.    Let's call a spade a spade. You can feel like a hostage in your job search.    Every interview can fire off an emotion.  Your future, in limbo.  Your finances handcuffed Your head, unclear who to trust, including yourself.    We can all learn from Scott starting with:   The River of Emotion:  A metaphor to overcome emotional hijacking.  His tip, observe NOT absorb. Stand on the riverbank without swimming in the current.   The 3-2-1 Formula:  Sort your challenges into three buckets: What you can control, influence, or must ignore   Trust as the Golden Thread:  Understand how trust is the foundation of all successful negotiations.  The simple (but not easy) principle: do what you say you're going to do.   Embracing Conflict:  Learn why the "conflict call" is often necessary to establish boundaries and expectations. Having direct, candid, kind conversations enhances your value and presence.   The 30-Second Reset:  Practice pausing throughout your day to feel the feeling and drop the story.  This simple habit builds the emotional muscle needed for higher-stakes situations.   Negotiating our emotional regulation isn't limited to hostage situations or boardrooms - it's simply "a conversation with purpose" that we all engage in daily.    Like what you hear?

In this episode of Masters of Moments, host Jake Wurzak sits down with Jesse Rack, founder and CEO of Rack Electric, to unpack one of the most impressive and unconventional entrepreneurial stories in the home services industry. Jesse shares his journey from Queens, New York, where he played college football and briefly pursued the NFL, to running a fast-growing business empire focused on electrical work, energy, and infrastructure across Florida. After stepping away from coaching football and returning to Florida to support his family, Jesse took over his father's small electrical business with a bold vision: to build a brand, not just a company. What started with one truck and a handful of employees is now a multi-vertical operation with over 200 employees, five divisions, and specialties that include generators, propane delivery, solar installations, and EV charging infrastructure. Jesse breaks down how he's scaled the company by hiring for attitude, investing in operational systems, and acquiring other trades businesses through strategic M&A. This episode covers: - Jesse's sports background and how it shaped his leadership style   - Building Rack Electric from a local business into a state-wide brand   - Creating a training pipeline for tradespeople and launching in-house licensing programs   - How to buy, turn around, and integrate struggling home service companies   - Why customer experience and honest communication are non-negotiables   - The power of handwritten letters in sourcing acquisition opportunities   - Lessons in grit, recruiting, and the value of walking the job site   If you're interested in trades entrepreneurship, home services, or building a real business with staying power, Jesse's story is as real and raw as it gets.

Tariffs are back again and stronger than ever. Things are still a little shaky at the moment because we never really know what will happen tomorrow but today, Dave discusses 5 ways you can deal with the new tariffs through DDP, diversifying, and negotiation.  Big Takeaways:  It is basically impossible to eliminate the effects of the tariffs but there are ways to minimize them.  DDP shipping puts risk on your supplier, not you. Diversifying sales channels can be a great way to keep your profit margins healthy.  Negotiate discounts with your suppliers to soften the blow.  Moving your manufacturing can reduce tariffs and contribute to a healthier business. Accept that the business landscape has changed permanently. Look for new opportunities that arise from these challenges. Consider manufacturing in Canada and Mexico as alternatives. Evaluate your product catalog in these new market conditions.

Episode 142. Empowering Your Financial Future: A Conversation with Laura Corbiani Welcome back to The Innovative Therapist Podcast! Today, we're diving into part two of my conversation with financial expert Laura Corbiani. If you missed part one, be sure to check it out, as we covered essential topics like money, power, and common mindset blocks around finances. This episode is all about tangible actions to become more financially empowered—because who doesn't need that? We'll discuss key topics like: Why and when you might want to hire a financial advisor Financial wellness basics How to build an emergency fund How to optimize your money to create more financial freedom Let's dive in! Overcoming Financial Anxiety Talking about money can be overwhelming. Many people feel like they need to know everything before they even start, leading to avoidance and anxiety. If you've ever felt this way, you're not alone. Financial concerns can exist even when someone is in a good financial position. The key is shifting from judgment to curiosity about your financial health. The Importance of an Emergency Fund One of the most crucial building blocks of financial wellness is an emergency fund. This is a cash cushion set aside in a savings account, separate from investments, to cover unexpected expenses. Here's a general guideline: Single-income households: Aim for six months of living expenses. Dual-income households: Aim for three months of living expenses. Keeping this money in a separate savings account (instead of a checking account) can help prevent accidental spending. Automating a small amount to transfer weekly or monthly can make building this fund easier. Maximizing Employer Benefits If you have access to employer benefits, it's important to take full advantage of them. Some key areas to explore include: Retirement Plans: Many employers offer 401(k) matching—be sure to contribute enough to get the full match! Disability and Life Insurance: These benefits are often overlooked but can provide essential financial security. Health Savings Accounts (HSA): If you're on a high-deductible health plan, contributing to an HSA is a great way to save for medical expenses tax-free. Unlike Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), HSAs don't have a “use it or lose it” policy, allowing you to save for future healthcare costs—even in retirement. The Power of Investing Investing can feel intimidating, but it doesn't have to be complicated. Target-date funds are a great place to start—they adjust risk levels based on your projected retirement year. Investing consistently, even in small amounts, can lead to long-term financial security. The Gender Pay Gap & Negotiation One of the biggest financial challenges women face is negotiating for higher pay. Research shows that women tend to apply for jobs only when they meet 100% of the qualifications, whereas men apply when they meet about 60%. Additionally, women negotiate their salaries less frequently, which can lead to earning significantly less over their careers. A few key takeaways: Ask for what you're worth: Negotiating your salary can add up to over $1 million in additional lifetime earnings. Be creative: If salary negotiations are limited, consider negotiating for more time off, professional development funding, or other benefits. When to Hire a Financial Advisor Not everyone needs a financial advisor, but here are some situations where hiring one might be beneficial: You're juggling multiple income sources or investments. You're going through a major life transition (inheritance, job change, starting a business, etc.). You want expert guidance on optimizing your financial strategy. When choosing an advisor, ask if they are a fiduciary, meaning they are legally required to act in your best interest. You can also ask, “How do you get paid?” to understand whether they work on commission, a flat fee,

What does it take to change the entertainment industry forever? Today, we dive deep into the incredible journey of Larry Namer, the visionary entrepreneur who built E! Entertainment Television from the ground up, turning a two-million-dollar startup into a multi-billion-dollar empire. From Brooklyn cable splicer to Hollywood mogul, Larry's story is about reinvention, resilience, and seeing opportunities where others don't. If you've ever wanted to break the mold, challenge the status quo, and create something truly game-changing, this episode is for you.

Conflict is a part of life, whether it's in our relationships, workplaces, or even global politics, yet many of us either shy away from it or escalate it, leading to stress, resentment, and division. Today on Finding Brave, behavioral neurologist Dr. Joel Salinas joins us to discuss how we can navigate disagreement with confidence and resilience—and even turn it into a powerful tool for building stronger connections. Dr. Salinas is a Clinical Associate Professor of Neurology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and the co-author with Robert C. Bordone, of Conflict Resilience: Negotiating Disagreement Without Giving Up or Giving In. In this fascinating book, Joel and Robert blend advanced conflict management strategies with cutting-edge neuroscience to introduce a simple yet powerful three-step framework for navigating everyday conflict. In this episode, Dr. Salinas reveals how conflict resilience rather than resolution can transform the way we engage with disagreement. He also explores the impact of social isolation, our fear of discomfort, and how avoiding conflict can ultimately weaken both personal and professional relationships, all while offering practical tools to navigate tough conversations with confidence, clarity, and compassion. Whether you struggle with difficult conversations or simply want to strengthen your relationships and your communication approach, this episode is filled with valuable insights to help you approach conflict with clarity, confidence, and bravery. Tune in now to start transforming the way you engage with disagreement.   Key Highlights From This Episode: Understanding the surprising link between connection and conflict. [04:42] How social isolation and polarization contribute to conflict avoidance. [09:14] Reasons that we often see the other person as “the problem” in a conflict. [12:47] Finding a balance between setting boundaries and engaging in difficult conversations.[15:10] Insight into the three key tenets of deep listening. [18:18] An example that illustrates how to navigate everyday conflict with resilience. [22:56] How to phrase questions in a way that invites productive conversation. [26:04] The uncertainty of conflict outcomes (and why that shouldn't stop us). [28:16] Practical strategies to help you rewire your brain to handle conflict better. [31:02] Unpacking the benefits of conflict resilience and how you can start practicing today.

It's impossible to have one-to-one the exact same desires, interests, and contexts.” — @JoelSalinasMD [0:07:26] “When we're in a conflict situation, – it's very common that our first reaction is to see the other person as the problem. We want to take a stance that's more about agency and empowerment, starting with what you have control over: – your own relationship with conflict.” — @JoelSalinasMD [0:14:24] “A generous question begets a generous response – [Make] sure you're asking questions with the intent of understanding, not questions to harm the other person, put them down, or be overly defensive.” — @JoelSalinasMD [0:22:18] “Our brains evolved to be fortune-telling machines. It takes all our past experiences and memories to make predictions – and uses those predictions to make choices and take action – to help us survive and avoid danger. Out in the Savannah, that could have been helpful, – but it can be tricky when your brain is telling you interacting with somebody across lines of difference is a threat.” — @JoelSalinasMD [0:29:22] “It can be helpful to find the [bigger, better offer (BBO)]: what is the consequence or risk of me not engaging in this [difficult] conversation?” — @JoelSalinasMD [0:41:35] “Part of building this mindset and skill set is a process of reprogramming and rewiring your brain.” — @JoelSalinasMD [0:44:18] “Our brains evolved to be fortune-telling machines.

Almost everyone shies away from advocacy as a way to make a difference. We donate to climate change organizations, but we don't meet with a member of Congress or write a letter to the editor. We donate to anti-hunger organizations, groups dedicated to racial justice, and many others, but we don't become advocates on those issues beyond signing an online petition or going to an occasional rally.   Why? Because most of us see advocacy as too hard or too frustrating, too complicated, or too partisan, too dirty or too time-consuming, too ineffective or too costly.   But what if that's all wrong? What if deep engagement dissolves discouragement and can actually bring joy? What if you can become an advocate for a cause you care about and feel fulfilled, not frustrated? And what if engaging as an advocate is essential to protecting our democracy?   In this episode, your host Cindy Watson will be joined by Sam Daley-Harris, Sam Daley-Harris founded the anti-poverty lobby RESULTS in 1980, co-founded the Microcredit Summit Campaign in 1995, and founded Civic Courage in 2012. The 2024 edition of his book Reclaiming Our Democracy: Every Citizen's Guide to Transformational Advocacy was named an editor's pick by Publisher's Weekly BookLife.  Kirkus Reviews wrote: "Overall, [the author's] analysis of effective action is as persuasive as it is accessible, and his call to democratic participation is inspiring. A handbook for aspiring activists that readers will find to be both inspiring and practical."  Daley-Harris has been interviewed on NPR's Here and Now and 1A and on PBS's Laura Flanders and Friends.  Ashoka founder Bill Drayton said, “Sam Daley-Harris is one of the certified great social entrepreneurs of the last decades.”   Key takeaways:   Why people shy away from advocacy? The difference between transactional advocacy and transformational advocacy. Advice to empower those losing faith in their ability to make a difference. The three things to look at in an organization. What is transformational advocacy and how to apply it in life? The three questions to ask when  going to meet a member of parliament or a member of Congress who opposes their bill.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University terrorist sympathizer, was detained by federal immigration officials. However, an Obama-appointed judge stepped in to rescue this non-student, green-card-holding activist, who supports overseas terrorist organizations and shouldn't even be on Columbia's campus—or in the U.S.—given his actions and affiliations. Khalil leads Columbia United Apartheid Divest (CUAD), a radical group that backs terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. The Associated Press is attempting to portray him as a victim, but he's far from it. Has he ever spoken out against the slaughter of minorities in Syria? Later, why is the U.S. dealing with Qatar? It's about time the media asked: Who does Qatar influence? Who's receiving their money? Qatar is the enemy and it's at the center of a massive scandal in which it has bought off media, politicians, think tanks, law firms, lobbyists and businessmen. It all must be exposed. Additionally, Eric Trump joins the program to discuss his lawsuit against Capital One for cutting ties with the Trump Organization in 2021. He argues the decision was solely based on the Trump name and pledges to hold the bank accountable. Also, a study reveals Medicaid made $1.1 trillion in improper payments over the past decade. Democrats aim for one-party rule and may shut down the government as a tactical move to win a larger political war. Rather than protecting citizens, they seek to exploit people and their jobs.  Finally, It's unsurprising that Mark believes the U.S. shouldn't negotiate with terrorists, as they follow no rules and don't wage war like a traditional army. Negotiating with terrorists for hostages is a mistake, as it encourages them to take more captives in the future. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
