Welcome to episode #1021 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when strategy is often confused with forecasting and certainty is mistaken for rigor, the work of Roger Martininsists on a more demanding discipline: making clear, integrated choices under uncertainty. Named the world's #1 management thinker by Thinkers50 in 2017, Roger is a writer, strategy advisor, and the former Dean at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, where he served for fifteen years and reshaped how management education engages with real-world complexity. Over decades, he has advised CEOs at companies including Procter & Gamble, Lego, Ford, American Express, Verizon, and Steelcase, helping leaders move beyond abstract ambition toward actionable, coherent strategies. His thinking has long been a personal touchstone for navigating difficult, high-stakes business problems, and he remains my go-to guide when confronting complexity that resists easy answers… a familiarity reinforced by his return here after previous appearances. Before academia, he spent thirteen years at Monitor, serving as co-head of the firm and grounding his thinking in the realities of corporate decision-making. His newly updated book, Playing To Win, Expanded With Bonus HBR Articles - How Strategy Really Works co-authored with A.G. Lafley, remains one of the most influential strategy texts of the modern era, distilling strategy into a set of five integrated choices about where to play and how to win, supported by capabilities and systems that reinforce those decisions. Across thirteen books and more than thirty Harvard Business Review articles, Roger has explored integrative thinking, democratic capitalism, governance and the design of business itself, consistently challenging leaders to resist false tradeoffs and simplistic answers. His work confronts contemporary issues head-on: the misuse of AI as an answer machine rather than a thinking partner, the hollowing out of education into ideological extremes, the erosion of institutional trust and the persistent illusion that the future must resemble the past. Through it all, his argument is steady and clear: strategy fundamentals endure, and superior managerial effectiveness begins with disciplined thinking, principled choice, and the courage to commit. If you're not following his free Substack, you reall should. It's always an honor to spend tie with Roger. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 58:39. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

Have you ever noticed how much energy you spend trying to avoid failure? Whether it's in your relationships, your career, or even your health goals, most of us are unconsciously playing to not lose instead of playing to win. The truth is, when we operate from fear and protection mode, we miss out on the extraordinary possibilities available to us. And this week, I'm examining how this cautious approach keeps us living small, unfulfilling lives. Tune in this week to discover how the difference between playing to not lose and playing to win shows up everywhere in our lives. You'll hear specific examples of what playing to win looks like versus playing to not lose, and how to override your brain's basic survival wiring that keeps you in defensive mode.

Introduction:In the heart of Frederick City, a remarkable firefighter shares his journey from the military to the fire service, shedding light on the camaraderie, challenges, and fulfillment that come with the job. Trevor Meador's experiences not only highlight the importance of training and teamwork but also underscore the deep connection firefighters have with the communities they serve.Main Content:1. **The Call to Action** Trevor recounts a harrowing night when he and his team responded to a hotel fire with reports of entrapment. The urgency of the situation was palpable as all units converged, and Trevor, as a tillerman, felt the weight of responsibility. He recalls, "You knew that there was going to be entrapment and everyone was going to be working a little bit harder." This sentiment reflects the inherent risks firefighters face daily, along with the adrenaline that fuels their commitment to save lives.2. **Team Dynamics and Leadership** The dynamics of working with a detail officer unfamiliar with the team added a layer of complexity. Trevor emphasized the importance of communication, stating, "I'm going straight to the roof. This is a tiny little hotel." This proactive approach not only reassured his crew but also reinforced the bond they share during high-stress situations. Michael Nasti, the host, highlights the role of established firefighters in guiding less experienced officers, noting, "It's a good feeling being able to rely on your guys."3. **Transitioning from Military to Fire Service** Trevor's transition from the Marine Corps to the fire department was a significant turning point in his life. Growing up, he was inspired by the bravery of military personnel and firefighters, which led him to join the Marines at just 17. Upon completing his service, he was drawn to the fire department, describing it as a perfect fit due to its culture and the type of people who serve. "I fell in love with the culture and fell in love with the type of person who joins the fire department," he shared, emphasizing the camaraderie that mirrors his military experience. 4. **The Importance of Community Connection** One of the most profound aspects of Trevor's journey is the unique relationship between firefighters and their communities. He explained, "It became something so uniquely profound to me and my family to be able to work and serve and live in the community." This connection not only enhances the service they provide but also enriches the firefighter's personal life, creating a sense of belonging and purpose.Conclusion:Trevor Meador's journey from military service to becoming a dedicated firefighter in Frederick City exemplifies the vital role first responders play in their communities. His story highlights the importance of teamwork, communication, and the deep-rooted connections firefighters cultivate with those they serve. Key takeaways include the value of training, the significance of community ties, and the fulfilling nature of a career in firefighting. As Trevor puts it, the fire service isn't just a job; it's a lifelong commitment to protecting and serving others.Tags: firefighting, community service, first responders, fire department, military transition, teamwork, leadership, emergency response, firefighter stories

Triplett uses a baseball analogy to explain small, tactical changes in business communication. Eric, emphasizes that subtle adjustments, like a change in base-running strategy or the use of specific words in a sales interaction, can lead to dramatic improvements and success, much like winning the World Series. Participants in the discussion share their personal experiences with adopting new communication techniques, such as replacing "sales pitch" with "sales process" or "consultation," to reduce customer resistance and build trust. The overall theme is the importance of attention to finite details and continuous improvement in business practices, stressing that simple changes can yield powerful results. Key Takeaways: Watch the finite details in your activities because small deviations can compound into massive errors over time. Update your vocabulary by replacing "sales pitch" with "sales process" or "sales journey" to boost your mindset. Utilize positive language like "consultation" or "retainer" to reduce sales resistance associated with "charge" or "fee." Implement small, simple changes, such as modifying a single word, to drastically improve your business communication. Become a better listener and focus on making many small, cumulative changes to ensure consistent victories in your endeavors.

THE VIBEwith Kelly Cardenas PresentsAre you playing to win… or just trying not to lose?In this bold and soul-stretching episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we explore a question that could completely reshape your life, leadership, and legacy:Are you showing up to succeed—or simply trying not to mess it all up?It all started with a quiet moment in the kitchen: Brooklyn Cardenas—this year's #1 wedding hairdresser in San Diego—walked in with nerves before a wedding.

In this episode of the Admittedly Podcast, host Thomas Caleel addresses student athletes—and the families supporting them. Whether you're competing at the national level or playing for the love of the game, it's time to unpack how admissions officers actually view athletics. Thomas breaks down the value of sports in college admissions, the expectations student athletes must meet, and why athletic ability alone won't carry you through the process. He offers guidance for both recruited and non-recruited athletes—and reminds listeners that sports are one part of a much bigger admissions picture. Key Takeaways: Athletics Aren't a Free Pass: No one gets into top schools just for being good at a sport. The strongest athletic applicants have rock-solid academics and clear stories beyond the field. Recruited or Not, the Work's on You: Coaches are building teams, not handing out admissions letters. You need to communicate, self-advocate, and show who you are outside of your sport. Go Beyond the Game: Branch out into leadership, service, or mentorship. Coach younger students, join clubs, or connect with causes that matter to you. Being a one-dimensional applicant isn't enough. Think Carefully About That Essay: Injury? Tough loss? Yes, it's personal—but it's also common. If you're writing about sports, make sure your voice and perspective are uniquely yours. Whether you're aiming for recruitment or just trying to showcase the full picture of who you are, remember: admissions officers want well-rounded, self-aware students. Sports may be a big part of your life, but they shouldn't be the only thing that defines you. Are you balancing sports and academics? Wondering what's next for your student-athlete journey?

Mark Zinno, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac continue to recap and react to the Indiana Pacers stunning the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-110 last night in game one of the NBA Finals after the Pacers made a comeback for the ages that was capped by Tyrese Haliburton's 21-foot jumper with 0.3 seconds left in the game that gave Indiana its first and only lead of the game. The Morning Shift crew also talks about how the Thunder played to not lose at the end of game one instead of playing to win.
You might not even realize you're doing it. You're making smart choices, being responsible, staying practical, and yet, something feels like it's missing. You're not losing, exactly, but you're not winning either. In this episode of This Life or Something Better, I'm asking you to consider a quiet but powerful question: Are you playing to win, or just trying not to lose? This isn't about ambition or chasing success. It's about waking up to the subtle ways we shrink our lives in the name of stability. And if you've ever said, “Now's not the time” or “This is good enough” - this conversation is for you. We'll explore what playing it safe actually costs us, even when it seems like the “right” thing to do. I'll share what it really means to play to win in your life, especially if you're someone who craves a sense of security, who isn't here to blow everything up, but knows deep down there's more. This episode offers a gentle, honest path to begin. A small shift. A real question. A safe but meaningful step forward. If you've been quietly waiting for permission to want more, this might be your moment. Thanks for listening. If you find this episode helpful, please share it with a friend or family member. Rating and reviewing the podcast helps us to reach a greater number of lives. Stay in touch with us between episodes and join us in the This Life or Something Better Facebook Group.

Send us a textUnleashing Sales Potential: The Behavioral Edge with Mike Crotta & Geoff Miller (Part 2)In this powerful follow-up episode of "The Selling Podcast," we once again welcome insights from former professional baseball player Mike Crotta and Geoff Miller, author of "Intangibles," as we delve deeper into the psychological and behavioral aspects of sales success. Building upon our previous discussion on mental toughness, we explore how understanding and leveraging behavioral assessments can unlock untapped potential and drive winning performance in sales teams.Mike and Geoff share their expertise on how to identify and match potential hires and existing team members to roles where their natural behavioral tendencies will thrive. They discuss the importance of recognizing individual strengths and tailoring coaching and development strategies accordingly. This moves beyond simply looking at past performance and focuses on inherent traits that predict future success in specific sales functions.We then shift our focus to the crucial distinction between playing to win versus playing for fun. Drawing parallels from the competitive world of professional sports, Mike and Geoff emphasize the importance of a results-oriented mindset in sales. While enjoyment is valuable, the ultimate goal is to achieve and exceed targets. We explore how to cultivate a winning mentality within sales teams and align individual efforts with overarching business objectives.The conversation then turns to the challenges of overthinking and getting "stuck in your head." Mike and Geoff highlight that when facing pressure or complex situations, it's essential to take a step back and focus on the long-term perspective. By visualizing the ultimate goals and understanding that short-term anxieties are often transient, sales professionals can regain clarity and make more strategic decisions.A key element for effective team management and individual performance is the explicit expression of expectations. Mike and Geoff underscore the importance of clearly articulating what is required of each team member, leaving no room for ambiguity. Once expectations are clearly understood, holding individuals accountable for their performance becomes a fair and necessary step in driving results and fostering a culture of responsibility.Finally, we address the common pitfall of overanalyzing the "right" way to do things. Mike and Geoff explain that excessive focus on theoretical perfection can often paralyze individuals and hinder their ability to execute the fundamental aspects of their roles effectively. The key lies in understanding the core principles of sales and then allowing individual strengths and styles to flourish within that framework.Throughout the episode, Mike and Geoff emphasize the importance of maintaining a balanced drive – a focused determination to succeed without succumbing to burnout or neglecting other crucial aspects of professional and personal well-being. This episode provides actionable strategies for sales leaders and individual contributors alike to leverage behavioral insights, cultivate a winning mindset, and optimize performance for long-term success.Scott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach
