In this episode of the Learning from Smart People Podcast, Rob Oliver talks with Chris Castanes—an award-winning insurance agent, speaker, and author of You Are Going to Be Great at This. Chris brings decades of sales wisdom with a refreshing blend of humor and authenticity. Whether you're a reluctant entrepreneur or a seasoned salesperson, you'll appreciate Chris's real-world insights on what it really takes to succeed in sales—without the sleaze.Here are some of the key takeaways from Chris Castanes' conversation with Rob Oliver:Sales success starts with learning how to find people to talk to.A full pipeline and consistent networking are essential to growth.Rejection is part of the process—develop “Teflon coating” and keep moving.Toastmasters and public speaking can help introverts build communication confidence.Sales isn't just about product—people buy from people they trust.Building rapport and demonstrating integrity beat pushy tactics every time.Relationship selling means showing up sincerely, not just closing a deal.You're always selling yourself—in business and in life.Humor and resilience can defuse rejection and create memorable moments.“Selling on the approval of others” taps into a powerful psychological motivator.Real-life examples (like Popeye and spinach!) make sales techniques relatable.Listening is more powerful than talking—find the client's real pain point.Be genuinely curious about your client's needs, not just your pitch.Follow up consistently; a client's circumstances can change unexpectedly.Keep multiple solutions “in your quiver” to serve evolving needs.Transitioning to virtual and social media-based sales requires creativity and adaptability.The barrier to entry on social media is low—standing out requires strategy.Your name is your brand—keep it consistent and focused.Avoid diluting your identity with conflicting side hustles.Chris's humor-infused book was a passion project turned powerful teaching tool.You can learn more about Chris Castanes and connect with him through the links below:Website: www.chriscastanes.com Twitter: @ccastanes Instagram: @chriscastanesThanks for listening to the Learning from Smart People Podcast!Subscribe, leave a comment and follow us on social media:Twitter: http://twitter.com/LFSPPodcast Instagram: http://instagram.com/LFSPPodcast Facebook: http://facebook.com/LFSPPodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lfsppodcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imroboliver/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbWV_LuUad7ZWuE9j5D9v-wYou can also use the "Contact" page on the "Learning from Smart People" website:https://www.learningfromsmartpeople.com/contact

Welcome to a brand-new series on Stories from the River as we go behind the scenes of Ashley's 'Right to Win' Product Knowledge Boot Camp with Charlie Malouf and Renee Bradley as they unpack what it means for Broad River Retail. Find out how this company-wide training is shaping retail teams and driving results across multiple locations. Charlie and Renee sit down at the Pineville Flagship Ashley Store location and discuss the massive undertaking involved in orchestrating this four-day, multi-site training initiative. Over 330 Memory Makers from all aspects of retail — ranging from Home Furnishings Consultants (HFCs) to General Managers — participated across eight different host locations, all designed to enhance product knowledge and sales confidence within the organization. Renee shares details about the logistical coordination, collaboration with Ashley Furniture field sales trainers, and the intentional timing of the event between major sales periods to maximize impact. The conversation highlights not only the practical aspects of the boot camp, such as the five and a half hour sessions packed with demonstrations on features like Platform Seating and performance fabrics, but also the deeper goals of building community, ensuring consistent retail rhythms, and cultivating a sense of excitement and confidence among the Memory Makers.  And how do we measure success?  After the training, success is measured through specific retail performance metrics like sales per guest (SPG) as well as through surveys and anecdotal feedback from participating Memory Makers. Renee underscores the value of in-person training for fostering engagement and lasting sales excellence, and closes with a forward-looking perspective, emphasizing continuous improvement, community, and the shared purpose that unites everyone at Broad River Retail.

Episode 129 Why do smart people believe dumb things? We unpack cognitive biases, like how judges might deny parole just because they're hungry (or maybe not?). Learn why Steve Jobs wore black turtlenecks, why knowing a little Greek makes pastors dangerous, and why acknowledging your biases doesn't make you immune to them. Plus, we touch on misinformation, trusting experts, and why sometimes, the best advice is to stop learning stuff.

Academic research is built on knowledge—but not on community.And that's a problem.Incentives in academia don't reward cooperation.They reward competition, individual credit, and winner-takes-all outcomes.Even when we want to collaborate, the system quietly tells us not to.Unlike companies, which reward people for building something together, academic research often rewards people for standing apart.Here's the truth:Most academic “collaboration” is instrumental—I'll work with you if I get something out of it.That's not real community. That's strategy.The only way this changes?We need to start rewarding cooperation explicitly—not just with nice words, but with actual recognition, incentives, and resources.Until then, if you want to do meaningful work and stay sane, you'll need to:– Disengage from local prestige games– Focus on the long-term global impact– And define success by the quality of your work, not how much applause you getThe academic game may be lonely. But we don't have to play it the way it's always been played.Let's reward people not just for being brilliant—but for being good to each other.

Episode Description Are your dreams taking longer to achieve than you expected? In this eye-opening episode, Scott Smith shares a powerful mindset shift that could save you time, money, and heartache on your journey to success. Drawing from his experience with a struggling business client, Scott introduces his "learn, churn, and burn" formula—three critical questions you should answer before embarking on any significant venture. Whether you're growing a business, starting a side hustle, or pursuing any worthwhile goal, understanding your timeline for skill development, commitment, and resource depletion can be the difference between success and disappointment. Scott cuts through the motivational fluff and delivers the "coming of Jesus, kick-in-the-butt" truth about what it really takes to turn dreams into reality. This episode offers practical wisdom to help you create a realistic success timeline and focus your energy on the minimal viable actions that truly move the needle. Featured Story Scott shares the story of visiting a client whose new business was growing slower than expected, causing significant stress as money was running out. Through a series of strategic questions about skill acquisition, commitment timeframes, and resource management, Scott helped the client create a focused plan with a definite timeline. Within a few months, the client reached their goal and has maintained a successful business ever since. Key Takeaways Most people underestimate how long it takes to develop the skills needed for success Setting arbitrary deadlines for achievement often leads to failure Understanding exactly how long your resources will last is crucial for realistic planning The support of family members (especially spouses) is a critical resource often overlooked Creating a clear inventory of your situation allows you to develop a viable action plan It takes far less than most people think to achieve their goals when they focus their energy Any worthwhile project has a better chance of success with realistic process expectations Dreams require specific skill sets and mindsets to be achieved Memorable Quotes "Success is always bigger than failure." "It takes far less than you think to get what you want." "Any worthwhile project stands a far better chance of success if you are realistic about the process before you ever get started." Scott's Three-Step Approach Calculate your skill timeline: Honestly assess how long it will take you to learn the specific skills necessary for your particular goal or venture. Determine your commitment threshold: Decide exactly how long you're willing to "churn and work" at your goal before reaching your breaking point. Inventory your burn rate: Calculate precisely how long your resources (money, credit, favors, family support) will last, then create a minimal viable action plan that fits within these constraints.

In this episode, Monika explores why even the smartest people fall into common money traps. Our emotions and habits often override logic, leading to costly mistakes like fearing market crashes, selling assets at the wrong time, or waiting too long to invest. She breaks down two key behavioral patterns—mental accounting and anchoring—that drive these poor financial decisions. Mental accounting makes us treat money differently based on its source, leading to suboptimal choices like keeping low-yield savings while carrying high-interest debt. Anchoring causes us to fixate on past prices and unrealistic expectations, preventing sound investment decisions. Monika shares practical ways to sidestep these traps and take a more rational approach to money management.Next, she explains the concept of purchasing power and how inflation erodes what money can buy over time. While prices rise for most goods and services, she points out that some costs, like mobile phone tariffs, have actually decreased, challenging the assumption that purchasing power always declines across the board.In the listener Q&A, Kiran asks whether buying term insurance at 48 is worth it when he plans to retire in five years. Anup shares his financial milestones and seeks advice on investing while planning for his daughter's future and his parents' health.

In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. In this series, they discuss Chapter 24: Why Do Smart People Do Dumb Things?LEARNING: Past performance does not guarantee future results. Change the criteria you use to select managers. “There are only two things that are infinite, the universe and man's capacity for stupidity.”Larry Swedroe In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over 30 years as the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners to help investors. You can learn more about Larry's Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks.Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 24: Why Do Smart People Do Dumb Things?Chapter 24: Why Do Smart People Do Dumb Things?In this chapter, Larry discusses why investors still make mistakes despite multiple SEC warnings.The past performance delusionLarry explains that it's normal for most investors to make mistakes when investing, often due to behavioral errors like overconfidence. Being overconfident can cause investors to take too much risk, trade too much, and confuse the familiar with the safe. Those are explainable errors.However, there's one mistake that Larry finds hard to explain. Most investors ignore the SEC's required warning that accompanies all mutual fund advertising: “Past performance does not guarantee future results.” Despite an overwhelming body of evidence, including the annual S&P's Active Versus Passive Scorecards, that demonstrates that active managers' past mutual fund returns are not prologue and the SEC's warning, investors still flock to funds that have performed well in the past.Today's underperforming manager may be tomorrow's outperformerAccording to Larry, various researchers have found that the common selection methodology is detrimental to performance. The greater benchmark-adjusted return to investing in ‘loser funds' over ‘winner funds' is statistically and economically large and robust to reasonable variations in the evaluation and holding periods and standard risk adjustments.Additionally, the standard practice of firing managers who have recently underperformed actually eliminates those managers who are more likely to outperform in the future.Why Are Warnings Worthless?Larry quotes the study “Worthless Warnings? Testing the Effectiveness of Disclaimers in Mutual Fund Advertisements,” which provided some interesting results. The authors found that people viewing the advertisement with the current SEC disclaimer were just as likely to invest in a fund and had the exact expectations regarding a fund's...

Join Stacy Westfall as she breaks down these obstacles and provides actionable solutions for navigating them successfully. Key takeaways: Our brains are wired to resist change in predictable ways, but understanding this resistance reveals surprisingly simple solutions for getting started on any goal, no matter how daunting it seems. The early stages of implementing change require a different approach than most people expect. Stacy shares how to use your brain's natural reward system (what she playfully calls "calorie-free cookies") to build momentum. The most significant barrier to achieving goals isn't what most people think - it's a hidden mindset trap that can make you abandon ship right when you're actually making progress. Overall, this episode examines why common approaches to change often fall short and provides concrete strategies for staying on track. Whether you're working with horses or pursuing personal growth, these insights will help you recognize and overcome the key obstacles that stand between you and your goals.

Welcome to the Show, in this episode I'm asking you to step into the classroom of LB, and we're going to draw out some schemas I worked up to describe a problem I see with social media, especially as it relates to people who are “smarter.” This has been something I've mulled over for a bit, and frankly this new annoying term “woke right” has brought it back to the top of my mind. Before I finish my two part series of James Lindsay vs St Michael the archangel (tentatively entitled James Lindsay vs the right) I just wanted us to spend a little time talking about this problem I see in social media interactions, which then leads me to explaining the problem with disaffected Liberals on the right and Liberalism writ large as I've come to see it.

Join us for a discussion about developing a simple marketing system that works for your company. Billy Broas is the author of Simple Marketing for Smart People. One of my favorite parts of this interview is the 5 lightbulb method that he uses to attract his ideal clients. You can get the Magnetic Systems Guide (and other business system guides) to find issues before they become expensive problems. Billy Broas introduces himself as the author of "Simple Marketing for Smart People" and a marketing consultant. He shares how he got into marketing after initially working in the energy industry and how he had to learn marketing from scratch to promote his online beer brewing courses. 1. The five-light bulbs framework He explains his "five light bulbs" messaging framework. My favorite was number 5. The customer's desired future state and the benefits of your solution He emphasizes the importance of making a compelling argument for your approach (light bulb 3) rather than just focusing on the offer. 2. Applying the framework internally I ask how the five light bulbs can be used to sell ideas and projects internally within an organization rather than just to external customers. Billy advises that the framework can be applied the same way, by clearly defining your unique approach and making a well-reasoned argument supported by evidence. 3. Feedback and continuous improvement  He recommends regularly reviewing and updating your "message map" that captures the five light bulbs, incorporating customer feedback and insights. He suggests doing this on a weekly basis as part of a marketing meeting. 4. Closing and next steps The discussion concludes with Billy encouraging listeners to check out his book "Simple Marketing for Smart People" to learn more about his approach. Karl thanks Billy for the insightful conversation. Learn more about Billy Broas over at his website. You can also connect with him on LinkedIn. As always, if you have any questions or want to submit an amazing guest for the podcast, just reach out to me on the Systematic Leader website, and I'll do my best to get them on.
