EPISODE 209 It is very popular to be told to “think outside the box” in business and in your life. Thinking “outside the box” encourages creativity and looking beyond current boundaries, comfort zones and established processes, to find novel solutions. However, “thinking inside box” is very different concept. “Thinking inside box” is beneficial in situations where consistency, accuracy, speed are necessary. “Thinking inside the box” creates box boundaries that enhance creativity rather than restrict it. The four sides of my ‘think inside the box' use the 4 C's including the concepts of connection, cooperation, collaboration and co-creation with a 'positive impact outcome' core." Stephen Lesavich, PhD If you were to create a “think inside the box,” what would your box look like? Using my “Think inside the box” with the four sides of my box including the concepts of connection, cooperation, collaboration and co-creation will allow you to create a collective as well as individual positive impact outcome in your life and the life of others. I leave you with this question, If you were to create a “think inside the box,” what would your box look like? Leave me a comment to tell me what your "think inside the box" box would look like.

Have you ever tried to build a new habit? Ever find yourself reaching for your phone even when it's not in your pocket? Ever thought about whether free will actually exists? Yeah, that last one got deep, but that's just how we roll here at This Was A Thing. Because this week, we're talking all about a man who devoted his life to studying whether or not humans have a say in how they behave. His conclusion? We're all pretty much rats pressing levers. Daniel teaches Ray and Rob about B.F. Skinner, the psychologist, writer, and inventor whose ideas about free will and shaping behaviors made him famous and infamous; how Skinner bucked the trend of Pavlov and Freud to try to take a quantitative and objective approach to sudying human behavior; Skinner's belief that pigeons could be the next big thing in missile technology; why Skinner's book Beyond Freedom and Dignity earned him a spot on Noam Chomsky's sh*& list; the real origin story of Splinter from TMNT; and how B.F. Skinner continues to influence everything from modern psychology to teaching technologies.If you like what we're doing, please support us on Patreon, or you can subscribe to our bonus content on Apple Podcasts.

Skinner, the psychologist, writer, and inventor whose ideas about free will and shaping behaviors made him famous and infamous; how Skinner bucked the trend of Pavlov and Freud to try to take a quantitative and objective approach to sudying human behavior; Skinner's belief that pigeons could be the next big thing in missile technology; why Skinner's book Beyond Freedom and Dignity earned him a spot on Noam Chomsky's sh*& list; the real origin story of Splinter from TMNT; and how B.F. Skinner continues to influence everything from modern psychology to teaching technologies.If you like what we're doing, please support us on Patreon, or you can subscribe to our bonus content on Apple Podcasts.

John Coleman, author of The Psychology of the Teenage Brain, joins us to explain why the biology of the adolescent brain leads to risk taking and emotional ups and downs, and how parents can provide support during this temporary period of development.Bonfire Digital Wellness has a diverse team of seasoned, compassionate school counselors, ready to coach your teen. Check it out today and take advantage of a 1-month FREE trial: BonfireDW.org/talkingtoteensFull Show NotesThe teenage years can feel like an emotional rollercoaster for parents and kids alike. Why does your once sweet child suddenly start acting out and making baffling decisions? What drives them to take risks, rebel against authority figures, and make choices that seem completely irrational?In this week's episode of Talking to Teens, we're getting to the root of teenage psychology and behavior with an expert guide. We're joined by Dr. John Coleman, a clinical psychologist who has spent decades researching adolescent development. He's the founder of a research center focused on teens and their families, and is the author of the book The Psychology of the Teenage Brain.John explains that the ups and downs of the adolescent years can be explained by major changes happening in the biology of the teenage brain. As Dr. Coleman tells us, the teenage brain actually undergoes its biggest developmental shift since infancy, which shapes teen behavior in profound ways parents often don't realize.The Teenage Brain: Pruning, Hormones and DevelopmentAs John explains, there are two major biological processes unfolding in the adolescent brain: pruning and hormonal changes.First, he describes the proliferation of gray matter that happens in late childhood. Gray matter contains neuron cells, creating lots of connections in the brain. But in the teen years, the brain eliminates unused neural connections through a process called pruning. This effectively “shrinks” the brain, reorganizing it to become more efficient. However, this leads teens to feel uncertain and confused.At the same time, John explains that hormone levels are fluctuating more intensely during adolescence than any other life stage. The hormones affecting mood, stress responses, impulsiveness and more vary greatly throughout the day, leaving teens emotionally unstable. This is why an event can make them despair one moment and elated the next.Understanding the changes happening biologically helps parents empathize with teens during this rocky transition, says John. Even though the period is temporary, it shapes how teens think, process information and regulate emotions in the moment.Why Teens Act Without ThinkingIn our interview, John provides a scientific explanation for why teenagers engage in baffling, risky behavior without considering consequences. As he explains, the brain networks connecting the emotional centers to the prefrontal cortex (the area controlling planning and decision making) are still immature in adolescents. So when intense impulses arise, the thinking part of teens' brains can't overcome these urges, leading them to act out without foresight about the outcomes.Helping Teens Develop Healthy BrainsThe good news is there are things we can do to help teens through this period, says John. Having routines, boundaries and open conversations about emotions helps them regulate their moods and behavior. We discuss how parents can model healthy emotional responses for kids, so they can build skills managing feelings that will serve them in adulthood.John also emphasizes that despite teens' outward rejection of parents, they still heavily rely on parental support during this challenging developmental window. So staying patiently engaged as a caring guide remains important, even when kids are pulling away to assert their independence.

“Thinking Inside the Box – The Gauntlet” brings you interviews with the United States Army's experts in combined arms maneuver, the Observer Coach Trainers (OC/Ts) of Operations Group, at the National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, California. Host, Capt. Seth Revetta sits down with Observer, Coach, Trainers from the Goldminer and Wagoneer Teams to discuss Dispersion of Sustainment. As explained in FM 3.0, pp. 1-5, the likelihood of the enemy force's use of massed long-range fires and weapons of mass destruction increases during large-scale combat operations—particularly against command and control (C2) and sustainment nodes, assembly areas, and critical infrastructure. To survive and operate against massed long-range fires and in contaminated environments, commanders ensure as much dispersion as tactically prudent. Lt. Col. Octavia Davis, the Senior Logistics Trainer; Maj. Boyce Newton, the Brigade Support Battalion Executive Officer and Staff Trainer; Maj. Sarah Barron, the Brigade Support Battalion Principal Staff Officer Trainer; and Maj. Kenneth Slaton, the Combat/Division Sustainment Support Battalion Principal Staff Officer Trainer informs Brigade Combat Team level leaders of the changes and challenges facing a rear-area support elements and provides some guidance on what they can do to limit friction points and increase survivability.

In today's episode, I chat with Arthur Petropoulos, Founder & Managing Partner at Hill View Partners, a Providence-based investment firm that specializes in mergers & acquisitions, business sales/exits, and capital advisory services for middle-market and lower middle-market companies. Arthur founded Hill View Partners in 2016 after a successful tenure on Wall Street as an Investment Banker, Private Equity Investor, and Head of Mergers & Acquisitions and Corporate Development for a high growth Operating Company. The first half of this 2023 saw M&A activity in the U.S. experience a significant decline in dollar value, falling by 41 percent compared to the same period last year. However, the number of deals decreased by only five percent, according to a recent report from Korn Ferry. What are the common traps that many business owners fall into during the process of selling or exiting their businesses? How has the availability of artificial intelligence impacted his strategy? How does he see this sector evolving over the next 5-10 years? Arthur was kind enough to stop by and let me pick his brain.

Her team uses data from the ZipRecruiter marketplace to measure the health of the US labor market, identify hiring trends, and helping employers and job seekers prepare for the future of work. Their research is frequently cited in leading media outlets, like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and NPR.In the simplest of terms, in North America there are more people leaving the workforce than joining it. Every day. The World Economic Forum's recent Future of Jobs 2023 report, predicts that between now and 2027, 44% of workers' core skills will be disrupted. Technology is moving faster than companies can design and scale up their training efforts. How does an economist see that in the simplest of terms? What advice would she have for employers and job seekers alike? How does the labor market see remote and hybrid work today?As we collectively navigate the future of work, Julia's unique perspective provides needed clarity when considering evidence-based strategic decisions.

“Thinking Inside the Box” brings you interviews with the United States Army's experts in combined arms maneuver, the Observer Coach Trainers (OC/Ts) of Operations Group, at the National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, California. In this Episode we discuss Command Post Survivability in modern warfare. For years, Army command posts have grown in size as they attempt to maximize situational awareness. They have been consolidating staff, collecting liaison officers, adding monitors for power point presentation, and upgrading additional equipment allowing for the fight to be displayed in real time. With the spread of drones and signal detecting equipment, command posts have become easier to detect and have become larger targets. To get more insights on the topic Maj. Robert Rose interviewed Maj. Steven Pyles, Operations Group coach for operations officers and Capt. Seth Revetta, Operations Group coach for signal officers. They dive deeper into some of the recent articles, doctrinal publications, and best practices to help assist in the command post survivability.

“Thinking Inside the Box” brings you interviews with the United States Army's experts in combined arms maneuver, the Observer Coach Trainers (OC/Ts) of Operations Group, at the National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, California. In this Episode we discuss Proactive Counterfire in a large-scale combat operation. Proactive counterfire, as defined in ATP 3-09.12, is the specific targeting of enemy indirect fire systems including their C2, sensors, platforms, and logistics before they engage friendly forces. Proactive counterfire is a focus area for units as they train in the box at the National Training Center. To get insights on some of the trends observed at The National Training Center we interviewed LTC Jay Johnson, MAJ Tom Stevenson, CW3 David Brown, and CW3 William Woods, members of the Fire Support Team.

“Thinking Inside the Box” brings you interviews with the United States Army's experts in combined arms maneuver, the Observer Coach Trainers (OC/Ts) of Operations Group, at the National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, California. While the Army focused on counterinsurgency, we had the luxury of taking time to make decisions, but large-scale combat operations will not afford this indulgence. Appropriately delegating decision-making authority allows leaders closer to a problem to make decentralized, rapid decisions rooted in the principles of mission command. Codifying who can make decisions prevents staff and subordinates waiting on a time sensitive action, because they are not sure if they are empowered to take action. Thinking through delegating decisions before arriving at the National Training Center will produce payoffs for commanders who understand when and where they must be present to make the essential decisions they can make. By defining who can make decisions, units will understand the systems needed to support making those decisions in various command posts, allowing effective dispersion of command posts to increase survivability. To discuss how to delegate decision making, we interviewed two members of our Bronco Team, our senior brigade trainer, LTC Adam Latham, and our senior Judge Advocate trainer, MAJ Timothy Davis.

This week on Perpetual Chess we are joined by award winning chess author and renowned trainer, GM Jacob Aagaard. It has been more than 2 years since our last long-form interview, and we had tons of topics to cover. We discussed topics including the rise of the top young talents in the chess world, potential World Championship format chances, and chess business news. There was also plenty of talk about chess training and improvement. Our talk about improvement was particularly focused on endgames, because Jacob has recently released an ambitious and highly informative new book, A Matter of Endgame Technique. This book is nearly 900 pages in length and is packed with practical tips and illustrations of moments at which Grandmasters have gone wrong in endgames. Although Perpetual Chess is an audio only format, we tried to extract a few lessons that listeners can apply to their own games. GM Aagaard is never hesitant to share his opinions, and I always learn a lot from speaking with him.
