Considering how much attention is focused on getting into college, you'd think people would be equally concerned with getting out of college… with a degree, of course. Sadly, the shockingly low six-year graduation rate suggests otherwise. Amy and Mike invited author and researcher Michael Petrilli to explore why college readiness matters.  What are five things you will learn in this episode? What exactly does college readiness mean? How can college readiness best be measured? What is the risk for college students who don't meet readiness benchmarks? How can we best address lagging college readiness? How early in K-12 education should college readiness be addressed? MEET OUR GUEST Mike Petrilli is president of the Thomas B.

Brandon Voss is the President of The Black Swan Group and has been with the company since its 2008 inception. In this role, he has established assessment procedures for new clients that enable the Black Swan team to customize its approach to each client based on their unique needs, situation, and corporate culture.  Brandon is Black Swan’s thought leader with respect to the three negotiator types: the Analyst, the Assertive, and the Accommodator. He has made it his mission to teach clients how to identify each of these three types of negotiators and has developed a methodology for dealing with all of them in the most successful way possible. Ever since he was a kid, Brandon has had a strong work ethic. As soon as he was old enough to pick up a shovel and use a hammer, Brandon started working with his grandfather, an entrepreneur who worked as a gas delivery middleman and owned and operated several convenience stores. When he was 14, Brandon opened his own yacht detailing business that he ran until he was 19, overseeing a crew of five workers during that time. Brandon credits his grandfather with the entrepreneurial spirit that has always seemed to be in his blood. After that, Brandon made the leap to sales, working for Macy’s in retail sales before joining Verizon for business-to-business sales. Based on his extensive experience with various selling approaches, Brandon has been instrumental in adapting the FBI’s hostage negotiation techniques to the business world. Realizing that the timetable is different in the business world than in the world of high-stakes hostage negotiations, he created the Short Game, a needs assessment procedure that helps in the critical discovery process phase of negotiation. In addition to training clients, Brandon has served as a guest lecturer at places such as the USC Marshall School of Business and Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business, and at Policy Innovators in Education Network functions.   Check Brandon out on Twitter @BVoss1 and go to www.blackswanltd.com to learn more about who they are and what they do. 

The global pandemic made standardized testing impractical for much of 2020. Before we get used to life without high-stakes exams--as lovely as that might sound--let’s consider what we lose when we abandon objective academic assessments. Amy and Mike invited author and researcher Mike Petrilli to explicate the heightened need for testing in 2021. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What makes testing controversial? Why is 2021 different from other years? What is the value of standardized test scores in educational systems? Have standards changed during the pandemic period? In what ways are tests agents of equity and access? MEET OUR GUEST Mike Petrilli is president of the Thomas B.

This is another installment of The Self Care series, started in honor of Mac Miller, to address topics concerning our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Something that hits on all three is the art of negotiation. Every week, we encounter dozens of negotiation opportunities, big and small, that require listening, communication, and confidence. This week, we sit down with expert negotiator Brandon Voss. He is the director of training & operations at The Black Swan Group, the premier company and source for learning negotiation techniques when compromise is not an option. Chris Voss, the founder of Black Swan and Brandon’s father, has a quarter century’s worth of FBI experience, was the FBI Lead International Kidnapping Negotiator, and authored the best selling book Never Split The Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It. As the Director of Training and Operations, Brandon has been instrumental in adapting FBI Hostage Negotiation Techniques to the Business World. In addition to Training Clients, Brandon has given talks at USC Marshall School of Business, Georgetown McDonough School of Business, and organizations like Policy Innovators of Education. On this episode, Brandon breaks down many key tenets from the book Never Split The Difference, including how to actively listen, asking calibrated questions to discover more information, the power of silence, and how to get anyone to respond to an email. Personally, I’ve read this book once and listened to the audiobook on a separate occasion. I use many of these tactics daily and have gotten many interviews with bigger artists using things I’ve learned from this book. Even if you aren’t closing fortune 500 deals at the big table, you will find plenty of value in this episode. Life is a negotiation, whether you realize it or not. From bargaining baggage fees at the airport to asking someone out on a date, these principles apply to situations we encounter every day. Negotiation is a practice and what better way to start than with someone who’s made negotiation their life mission. Without further ado, here is our conversation with Brandon Voss.
