“Distraction is not a technology problem or a moral failing. The vast majority of distraction is simply that you have not learned the skill of dealing with discomfort. Master internal triggers, or they will become your master.” Nir Eyal is a best-selling author and instructor working at the intersection of psychology, technology, and business. In a research-driven conversation about his latest book “INDISTRACTABLE - How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life,” we learn about what really drives distraction — which is less about flashy external stimuli, and more about our own internal discomfort. The good news is, it's not out of reach, by better understanding our internal triggers - it just might be possible to get back to a focus that feels so far gone. The good news is, It's not out of reach, and Nir shares some great tips to get started.  Indistractable received critical acclaim, winning the Outstanding Works of Literature Award as well as being named one of the Best Business and Leadership Books by The Globe and Mail and Amazon, and among the Best Personal Development Books of the Year by Audible. Nir is also the author of “Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products” — his books have resonated with readers worldwide, selling over 1 million copies in over 30 languages.  Nir's writing and work has been featured in The New York Times, Bloomberg Businessweek, The Harvard Business Review, The M.I.T. Technology Review, Time Magazine, Psychology Today. Nir co-founded and sold two tech companies since 2003, and invests in habit-forming products that improve users' lives including Eventbrite (NYSE:EB), Anchor.fm (acquired by Spotify), Kahoot!, Canva, Homelight, Product Hunt, Marco Polo, Byte Foods, FocusMate, Dynamicare, Wise App, and Sunnyside. Nir previously taught in the Business and Design schools at Stanford University, and Nir attended The Stanford Graduate School of Business and Emory University.

You have probably heard of the “command and control” style of leadership. Stephen M.R. Covey joins Kevin to discuss the alternative – “trust and inspire”. Stephen says we underestimate the importance of trust by at least a factor of 10 if not 100 and highlights the high cost of low trust. Covey outlines five mindset shifts that form a more accurate and complete leadership paradigm (people have greatness in them, people are whole people, there is enough for everyone, leadership is stewardship, and influence is created from the inside out). He also touches on the evolving nature of work and the multitude of choices available to individuals.

As educators, we have to balance increasing demands with fewer resources everyday. One potential solution is reducing teacher expectations, but this is difficult due to teacher shortages and the need to support students. As a result, we are often forced to make difficult choices about where to focus our time and energy. In this discussion, we identify practical strategies to manage this challenge.

To be honest with ourselves and others by expressing our no from a place of clarity of what our bigger yes is.   Invisible Pressure: When leaders/bosses email employees on off-work hours, it creates invisible pressure. Because so many companies have shifted to remote work, leaders need to be aware of this invisible pressure and model proper work-life balance. Also, recognizing that due to employee gender, race, sexual orientation, and other factors, by not having awareness regarding emails, meetings, and conversations, leaders can sometimes unconsciously create a culture of inequity.   The Difference Between Technical and Adaptive problems: Leaders need to look at the difference between psychoemotional issues, the work culture they create, and mental health as separate from systematic issues. As a leader, you can understand that you are not a mental health professional. However, it is your responsibility to be the conduit for your employees so that they have the resources for mental health. This means putting systems in place for the adaptive problems and recognizing they are separate variables to be addressed.    Are we Mating or Meeting: How the brain registers our interaction with others on zoom or other online meeting platforms is important to recognize. Because we are not seeing the whole person and are able to gauge the eyes, our brain is registering the interaction from an animal instinct of mating or fighting. This is problematic in ways that create defensive and aggressive behaviors that would not happen if you were meeting in person with your people.

You're sitting at your desk, trying to do some deep work—finishing up a presentation, writing some code, sketching out a new interface—and you hear a noise. It's the familiar knock of Slack, or the chime of your e-mail inbox. All of a sudden, you're taken away from a state of flow and into an attempt to multi-task, which is the enemy of getting things done. By some estimates, distractions cost the US economy more than $650 billion dollars a year in lost productivity. And Nir Eyal, bestselling author of the book Hooked, may have been the inspiration behind some of the most habit-forming products out there. But he also has another book, Indistractable, which can give you the tools to avoid distractions both at work and at home. In this episode, we chat with Nir about what got him interested in the intersection of technology and psychology, how we as consumers can have a better relationship with habit-forming products, and how he—as a parent— thinks about kids and technology.

Today our expert guest is Jamie Mustard. He's a strategic multimedia consultant, artist, designer, and product futurist. He has codified the primal laws of what causes anything to stand out and take hold in the human mind, regardless of medium. His breakout work, “The Iconist: The Art and Science of Standing Out,” won the 2019 Outstanding Works of Literature Award. Jamie is a resident staff writer at Forbes, and Rich Karlgaard, Forbes' publisher, says he has cracked the code when it comes to magnetizing attention. He has worked with some of the most incredible, well-known companies in the world such as Nike, Cisco, Intel, Adidas, Semantic, and TEDx and, today, we're going to talk about his passion for understanding the art and the science behind noticeability. The early part of Jamie's life was very difficult. A child of extreme poverty and neglect, and with parents in and out of his life, Jamie was only semi-literate through most of his teens. Desperate to turn things around, he moved to live with a relative so that he could attend school, took remedial classes in community college, and five and half years later, graduated from the London School of Economics. Now, his life is almost the opposite of where he started: teaching some of the most successful artists, brands, and CEOs how to stand out in a world of overload.  After living a life of invisibility, Jamie realized that through all of the noise of this world, we're all experiencing the same thing. Growing up, he learned to recognize the primal laws that explain why we pay attention to some things and discard others, and he managed to write them down to share with others. Now he helps people apply these primal laws to anything from music to social change. Everyone experiences content bombardment and we're all harder to see in this day and age. It's nearly impossible to get the attention of those we desire. In the 1950s, you would be subject to around 250 pieces of advertising a day. By 1970 that was up to 500. By the late '90s, the average person was being bombarded with five to seven thousand and, today, that number is even higher, still: between ten and fifteen thousand. Jamie calls one of his primal laws “The Block.” When you put a toy block in front of a baby, it freezes. This happens for a few reasons: the block is comparatively large to them, there are intricacies to it, and it's unusual. Anything big and complex makes us stop and look. A block is a monolithic, simple thing that you can duplicate over and over again. Forget fifty years; it's possible to make it iconic within five minutes. Today, Jamie is working on something entirely different. So many people have experienced trauma in their lives and trauma is relative. Jamie is no stranger to trauma, himself, and while working with a doctor, he learned that post-traumatic stress disorder isn't actually a disorder at all: it's an injury. He's making a film to explore this topic and find a way we can fix this epidemic.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Curiosity. As we get older we lose our curiosity. Curiosity is a discipline and – despite whatever we've been through – focusing on what we have: human connection and relationships – which are our true net worth, not money. What we have in terms of wealth is our net assets; it's not our worth. Our worth is our meaning and our relationships. Do we work in a life of meaning and do we have good relationships? That's our net worth. That's driven by curiosity and gratitude – finding what to be grateful for. Our minds – because of our evolutionary biology – are psychologically hardwired to be velcro for the bad and teflon for the good, so when you're curious and you focus on reframing things towards gratitude – no matter what bad happens – you get more good and you have a more positive outlook on life.”   --   Thank you for joining us on “The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.” Subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or Google Podcasts to download more food for the brain, knowledge from the experts, and tools to win at life.   Resources: theiconist.org Twitter: @thejamiemustard   The Daily Helping is produced by Crate Media

We discuss this platform and the myriad of possibilities that arise when you are more energized and focused.
