Born again. Two words most people have heard and very few have had explained in a way that actually makes sense. Jesus said it to Nicodemus — one of the most respected religious leaders of his time, a man who had God completely figured out by every external measure. And yet he showed up to find Jesus at night, alone, asking questions he wasn't supposed to need answered. Jesus told him: you need to be born again. Not reformed. Not improved. Born again — a complete transformation from the inside out that changes what you want, not just what you do. In this third episode of the Never Settle series, Mark Clark unpacks what that actually means and why it matters for anyone asking whether real faith is available to them. Never Settle is a four-week series from Connexus Church. New episodes every Sunday.

An MIT/Harvard negotiation expert on the two types of "no," the FBI hostage negotiator trick you can use with anyone, and the rhetorical move that improves outcomes for women. John Richardson teaches negotiation at MIT's Sloan School of Management, and previously at Harvard Law, and was an associate at the Harvard Negotiation Project. He was coauthor with Roger Fisher and Alan Sharp of Getting It Done and Negotiation Analysis with Howard Raiffa and David Metcalfe. He is also a graduate of the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy. His latest book is Never Settle, co-written with Attia Qureshi. In this episode we talk about: Why lying in a negotiation is tactically stupid, not just morally wrong The "give them a sandwich" trick FBI hostage negotiators use, and how to steal it for everyday life The difference between healthy manipulation and the harmful kind A simple word that can pull someone's brain out of fight-or-flight mode mid-argument Why knowing your alternative matters more than knowing your ask When saying no is actually the smartest move in the room And much more Get the 10% with Dan Harris app here Sign up for Dan's free newsletter here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel This episode is sponsored by: Cash App: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/oh9jnxlq #CashAppPod.

Season 4, Episode 8 | "You will get so much further with consistent modest execution."Everyone says they have a time problem. Most of them don't. Dane and Mitch break down why the overwhelm you feel isn't really about the clock, it's about how you're relating to complexity, comfort, and your own capacity. They walk through time blocking as an honest budgeting exercise, why cramming your to-do list is a form of self-deception, and how the reward for doing well is more complexity, not less. If your days feel reactive and your list keeps growing, this one's for you.Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:04 Busy, Overwhelm, and Complexity04:33 Beyond Productivity Hacks07:46 Time Blocking Done Right11:21 Honesty Over Motivation15:08 Purpose of Time Blocking18:59 CREDO25:23 Abstinence to Reveal Truth32:43 Spiritual Disciplines for Change36:17 Final Takeaways and Next StepsMentions:US Open / Arthur Ashe Stadium: Referenced for the "Pressure is a Privilege" sign and the framing of tension as a signal of growth.Sunsama: Daily planning tool Dane uses to pull tasks from calendar and lists into a realistic time-blocked day.Time Boss: A (non-affiliated) Time management training aligned with MWOD philosophy and practice, led by a Man of Discomfort, Andrew Hartman.Alpha: A Christian organization mentioned in the context of community and spiritual disciplines.Anchor Actions:1.

Most people asking "is this all there is?" aren't in crisis. They're just going through the motions. Doing the right things. Living a life that looks fine from the outside but feels hollow on the inside. In this second episode of the Never Settle series, Mark Clark unpacks the story of Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana. Six stone jars used for religious ceremony. Replaced entirely — not topped up — with nine hundred bottles of wine. That's not a miracle about a party. It's a picture of what grace actually looks like. The old system of performing your way to God, replaced entirely by something abundant, unearned, and transforming. This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered why faith feels like going through the motions — and whether there's something more available.

When most people think of negotiation, they picture big, high-stakes moments: haggling over the price of a house, negotiating a starting salary, or hammering out the terms of a business deal. But negotiation is also something we do every day. It's working out who's taking on which chores with your spouse, convincing a coworker to help on a project, or even deciding where to go for dinner with friends. The better you understand negotiation — which is really about influencing other people's decisions — the better you'll be at navigating conflicts and opportunities both big and small.My guest has spent decades studying the art and science of wielding that influence. John Richardson teaches negotiation at MIT's Sloan School of Management and is the co-author of Never Settle. Today on the show, John shares what he learned from negotiation legends like Roger Fisher, co-author of Getting to Yes, and FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss. He unpacks the skills of master negotiators, including how to build reciprocity, uncover what people actually want, and keep your emotions from hijacking your judgment. We also get into the part of negotiation that makes people the most uncomfortable: the back-and-forth over hard numbers like price and salary and how to handle those conversations with greater confidence and better results.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Podcast #234: Haggling and Deal Making Advice From a FBI Hostage Negotiator (With Chris Voss)AoM Podcast #559: How to Handle Difficult Conversations (With Sheila Heen)Influence: The Essential Guide to the Psychology of Influence and Persuasion in Everyday Life by Robert B.

Most people have quietly decided their life doesn't really mean anything. Not out loud. Not as a formal belief. Just as a background assumption they've never quite shaken. In this first episode of the Never Settle series, Mark Clark challenges that assumption directly. Drawing from John chapter 1, he makes the case that your life has a beginning, a middle, and an end — and that the God behind the universe is the same God who knows your name, your worst moments, and your story. Not from a distance. From inside it. This is a conversation for anyone who's ever wondered whether their life means anything — whether they grew up in church or have never set foot in one.

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Attia Qureshi, a coach and negotiation expert who is co-author, with John Richardson, of Never Settle. There's no shortage of great negotiation advice out there, yet in real conversations with real stakes and real emotions, that advice often fails to turn into action. This book tackles that gap between insight and habit. Attia shares why emotions are not a distraction from negotiation but central to it, why getting clear about what you actually want is harder than it sounds, and how we leave value on the table without realizing it. You'll hear practical stories, from resetting a difficult relationship with a glass of lemonade to expanding the pie in a salary negotiation, plus small daily exercises for building resilience to rejection and learning to say no in a way that strengthens relationships rather than damaging them. If you're looking for practical, doable ways to become a more confident negotiator and influencer, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "You can get more by caring about what the other person needs and building a strong relational foundation." "People are not born amazing negotiators. They develop that skill over time, just like people are not born confident." "You have to practice that small step out in the real world where the stakes are low and build that skill day after day, month after month." "You and I have probably already negotiated half a dozen times today." "When someone gives us something, we want to return the favor." "New studies now show that 90 to 95% of decision-making comes from unconscious emotional processing." "So many of us quit before we even start." "But if we do have a goal and we do prepare for the conversation, our likelihood of success is double." "A good negotiation doesn't always mean getting 'yes' at the end of it." "I always tell my students, people can almost always help you. It depends on if they want to or not."

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!Somebody always says it: "We can't agree on anything, so let the machine decide." Religion, nukes, guns, race, money. Feed the facts to AI, no skin in the game, let it hand down the answer. It sounds amazing. It's also the most dangerous idea of this whole era, and this episode is why.There are two kinds of problems, and almost nobody separates them. Truth problems have a real answer out in reality: how far is the moon, what's 2 plus 2, what kills this cancer cell. For those, the machine is a genuine weapon, so use it. Values problems are different: what's fair, what's sacred, what's worth more. There's no correct answer buried in the data, because the answer depends on what you care about. Point the smartest machine on earth at a values problem and it can't solve it. Not because it isn't smart enough, but because there's nothing to solve.I take it through five fights, one at a time: religion, countries wanting nuclear weapons, guns, race and the police, and the have-nots against the haves. I put my own skin in it. I'm a man of faith. I carried a firearm for a career as a peace officer. And on one of these I hold my politics back on purpose, and I say why.Then the part that matters most. A machine that sounds calm and objective, talking about our most sensitive fights, isn't a referee. It's our own bias handed back to us in a voice that sounds like it can't be wrong. A biased person you can argue with. A biased machine everyone thinks is neutral is a king nobody voted for, and you can't vote it out. Use the machine for what's true. Keep what matters in human hands. A value isn't calculated, it's chosen.Listen here, then watch the full video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/HSBc5a91amoLoom version: https://www.loom.com/share/29ba90a223b14cb59f9dbad9c7e7e2f5Questions on AI or real estate?

In this captivating episode of Deepen with Christina, host Christina Weber is joined by scholar of love, author, and coach Dana Arielle for an uninhibited, soul-stirring dive into the world of Devotional Tantra. Following a near-death experience at age 25, Dana transformed her lifelong romantic obsession into a 17-year scholarly exploration of intimacy, sacred polarity, and high-value relating. Broadcasted live from the booming wellness mecca of Austin, Texas, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that your desire for big, mythic love is a divine bat-signal—and that true, soul-level safety is always worth the wait. Main Topics Covered The Creative Romantic: Dana's journey from a childhood "yearner" and clinical psychology background to a dedicated scholar of love. The 25-Year Watershed: How a profound near-death experience forced a negotiation with source energy to return to Earth exclusively for true love. The True Meaning of Tantra: Demystifying Tantric intimacy and examining Hindu iconography where consorts are eternally fused across shape-shifting lifetimes. Transactional vs. Reciprocal Love: Navigating the cultural landscape of modern dating without turning access, beauty, or sex into cheap transactions. Money for the Body: Unpacking the philosophy that wealth is a tool designed to provide the physical form with grounding, nourishment, luxury, and safety. The Five Golden Sexual Questions: The essential internal checklist to run through before exchanging sexual energy with a new partner. Rituals Organize the Psyche: Why the subconscious requires physical, intentional closure to let go of old timelines and leap into the new. The Black Stone Ritual: A step-by-step masterclass on a traditional Tantric energetic extraction ritual designed for deep internal cleansing. Key Takeaways Desire is a Divine Directive: The longings that wake you up at night are not accidental; they are custom-crafted blueprints placed in your heart by the divine, meant to be actualized. Soul Safety is Earned: True emotional safety isn't felt instantaneously upon a first impression. It is a slow-burn treasure built over time and proven strictly through repeated action, not promises. Listen to the Mute Animal: Your body holds millions of years of cellular intelligence far superior to the logical mind. Give your body a voice, honor its gut responses, and treat it like a sacred vehicle. Never Settle for Dimness: If a sexual encounter or relationship leaves you feeling energetically drained, minimized, or less radiant, walk away immediately. Protect your preciousness at all costs.

Let's get one thing straight: women are not bad at negotiating. They're doing it just as often—if not more—but getting worse outcomes. So no, the wage gap isn't because women just need to “ask better.” That's lazy advice… and frankly, bullshit. In this episode, negotiation expert Attia Qureshi—founder of Atiya Qureshi Consulting, co-author of Never Settle, and trained in FBI-informed negotiation strategies—breaks down the uncomfortable truth: women are playing a game that wasn't designed for them to win the same way men do. Same words, same ask… wildly different outcomes. And she's not here with fluff—she's here with strategies that actually work. Because here's the deal: opting out of negotiation doesn't protect you—it guarantees you get less. What We Cover: Why women are negotiating just as much—but still losing The double bind: too nice = weak, too assertive = “difficult” The internal negotiation happening in your own head Why relationships matter more than you think (yes, it's annoying, but it's real) How to use data as your secret weapon without triggering defensiveness The “we strategy” that helps women get better outcomes (even if it feels unfair) Why over-preparing can actually screw you over How to handle rejection and turn a “no” into a “not yet” At the end of the day, negotiation isn't about becoming someone you're not. It's about learning how to advocate for yourself in a system that doesn't always reward you for it—and doing it anyway. Because you don't get what you deserve. You get what you're willing to ask for—and hold your ground on. Thank you to our sponsors! Visit Upwork.com right now and post your job for free!

Attia Qureshi examines negotiation not simply as a business skill, but as a core leadership capability that shapes influence, alignment, and decision-making. Drawing on experience across consulting, startups, academia, and international development, she explains why many capable professionals struggle in negotiations despite strong analytical skills. The discussion explores several practical themes: why preparation is often undervalued, how fear and emotional reactions affect judgment under pressure, and why negotiation should be treated as a skill built through repetition rather than theory alone. Qureshi also distinguishes influence from manipulation, emphasizing that durable cooperation is built through trust, reciprocity, and understanding shared interests. The episode covers organizational alignment, stakeholder management, rejection, and emotional resilience, including lessons from work in Colombia helping farming communities transition away from coca production. Throughout the conversation, Qureshi argues that effective negotiators are not necessarily the most aggressive or persuasive, but the ones who can stay disciplined, build trust, and navigate difficult conversations with clarity and composure. This episode offers practical insights for leaders seeking to improve negotiation, relationship management, and organizational effectiveness in both professional and personal settings. Attia Qureshi is an adjunct at the Ford School of Public Policy and previously at MIT's Sloan School of Management and Ross School of Business.

Jessica & Johnathon Jones live in Hamilton, Ohio — a city they've tried to leave more than a few times — and are opening a specialty running store this summer.

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
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.

What's up with Sig Sauer's new slogan? "Never Settle"? :D Are they trying to tell us something? (probably, we believe)... and more logic on knife steels (Is there a "happy place" between hardness and ease of sharpening with actual working knives?) probably, we do think... and is the Savage Impulse worth a look? We talk about this. All this and more on tonight's show. We hope you'll tune in. :)
Most founders think they're not great negotiators. John Richardson thinks they're wrong. Richardson has spent decades teaching negotiation at MIT's Sloan School of Management and before that at Harvard Law, where he was an associate at the Harvard Negotiation Project and co-authored foundational texts with Roger Fisher and Howard Raiffa. His new book is called Never Settle. In this episode, you discover how to use a "best guess" about a buyer's motivations to get them talking, even when they're deliberately keeping their cards close reframe yourself as the first offer at the table, so you walk into every conversation with leverage you already own prepare for the emotional flood that hits founders in high-stakes negotiations, and the neuroscience-backed technique that short-circuits it tell the difference between a buyer who's genuinely nervous about AI disruption and one who's using uncertainty as a bargaining chip respond to a retrade without blowing up the deal, including the exact language Richardson recommends avoid the trap of stating a non-negotiable term too early, and why doing so often ends negotiations before they begin find out why the highest offer is not always the best deal, and how to build a personal scorecard that reflects what you actually want
Last week, we kicked off our Courageous Conversations series with a fresh look at building emotional confidence. This week, we lay the groundwork for how personality, emotional regulation, and awareness all play into navigating conversations that matter. I sat down with Attia Qureshi—an expert in negotiation and persuasion—but what unfolds isn't just about getting what you want. It's about why we want what we want…and what's really driving us underneath it all. Attia shares a moment of deep rejection from her childhood that led her to build what she calls an "exoskeleton" of strength. And as we talked, it became clear how many of us are still walking around with some version of that same armor—negotiating, relating, and even loving from a place of protection rather than connection. We explored how that plays out in everyday life—how we handle conflict, how we ask for what we need, how we respond when we feel threatened or unseen. And what I appreciated most about Attia is that she doesn't just talk about tactics—she talks about transformation. About moving from control to curiosity. From winning to understanding. From guarding yourself…to actually showing up. This is such an interesting topic that we invited Attia back for a second episode, where we go even deeper into her book Never Settle and unpack how her core negotiation strategies apply to each Enneagram type. Think of it as taking everything we talk about today and making it incredibly practical and personal for how you move through the world. And to help you get started, Attia has put together a fantastic Negotiation by Enneagram Type cheat sheet you can grab at attiaqureshi.com/typology. Pull up a chair. This one's going to get under the hood—in the best possible way.

Host Jim Ellermeyer welcomes Shane Chojnacki — a professional fighter, trainer, health advocate, and pro wrestler known as Victor Benjamin — for an honest and deeply reflective conversation about resilience, choice, and personal responsibility. Shane opens up about growing up in an environment marked by addiction, violence, and scarcity, while still finding moments of community, guidance, and protection. Rather than becoming a victim of his circumstances, he made intentional decisions to stay grounded in sports, discipline, and work — even when easier and more destructive paths were readily available. Throughout this episode, Shane reflects on learning from the mistakes of others, refusing to settle for less, and choosing action over self-pity. Jim connects these experiences to mindfulness principles, recovery thinking, and the idea that real change comes from effort, behavior, and consistent choices — not just intention or wishful thinking. Topics explored include: Growing up without a safety net Making conscious “wise mind” choices Learning resilience through adversity Taking action instead of living in “ifs, buts, and maybes” Betting on yourself when others doubt you Speaking intention into existence through action This is Part 1 of a continuing conversation that sets the foundation for deeper discussions on identity, growth, and mindful living in future episodes.
