This is a fascinating podcast episode that talks about religion and Mormonism in an unfamiliar yet insightful way. Our guide is Latter-day Faith podcast favorite Stephen Carter who draws parallels between the physical technologies we use all the time, including to this listen to this podcast, and “social technologies” that, like the other, are set up to bring about certain results. He and LDF host Dan Wotherspoon spend a good amount of time helping listeners come to a comfort level with talking about things such as democracy, monogamy, and religion as “technologies.” From there, Stephen takes us through a model he has constructed outlining one part of the Mormon technology. (See Diagram below) As he demonstrates, the LDS church has a clear idea of what it hopes its members will become and designs a strategy for community, for focused direction, and promises that if we follow the plan the goal it outlined for us will be realized. It is a terrific way to then explore how, like all technologies, this one breaks down at times and common challenges that arrive for various members as they experience things that challenge the model. It’s a great section of the episode, especially for those in the middle of their wrestle. There were similar technologies at play within the Judaism at Jesus’s time, along with others arriving with the Roman occupation and strategies for overthrowing it. Yet even as Jesus was surrounded by these technologies, he recognized how every social technology if left to do its own thing will surely leave many individuals behind, or even crushed by its momentum. It is at this point that Stephen unfolds what he sees as Jesus’s work as a tech "saboteur" and his strategies for mitigating these negative effects. What Stephen comes up with are each very evident in the Gospels but don’t receive the reflection they deserve—especially for those seeking to follow him and do the same work, love others in the same way. There is nothing easy in this sort of journey, but it ultimately is the only one through which we can truly assist others and become what we know we can be (and that just so happens to match what Mormon technology set forth as its ultimate goal).

Subscribe to How To Trade ItStephen Vettorel was thrown into managing a portfolio when his father passed away while he was in college. Throughout the learning process, he noticed that “buy and hold” and “be diversified” wasn’t how portfolio managers were running their personal accounts. Stephen thought he needed to learn technical analysis and individual trading. So he spent a lot of time trading in the 2000s and built out his own system. He wanted a deeper knowledge of trading. Over the next years, he was mentored in modern portfolio theory, auction market theory, and technical analysis. He learned how to chart, aggregate, and manage order flow. In 2012, Stephen started coaching at a small coaching company, FXES trader, mentoring other traders in futures. He attracted the attention of Investopedia and was put in the running for the ‘Top 100 Financial Advisors’ award in 2017—and he won. Stephen is now the Chief Market Strategist at Auvoria Prime, which is about to launch 5 pieces of software with verified track records to help automate trading.

If you are struggling with loss now, or you have in the past, we have a very special episode of the Unleash Your Peace podcast for you today. This week, we speak with creative visionary Stephen Powers. Stephen's prolific career expands across several industries and has touched the lives of millions worldwide. He is the COO of Wisdome LA, CEO of the publishing house Powers Omnimedia, and the former CEO of Bodhi Tree, one of our favorite spiritual shops in Los Angeles. As a GRAMMY-winning record producer, Stephen produced more than 150 albums with artists including Will.I.Am, Tina Turner, and The Beach Boys. If you've met Stephen you know him as a powerhouse whose passion for creative, spiritual, and socially just endeavors seems to be endless. But did you know that he was actually on track to become an Oceanographer? When Stephen was 18 years old and studying Molecular Biology at MIT, his younger sister was tragically killed by a drunk driver. It was not until he came face-to-face with his own mortality as a result of this horrible loss that he asked himself the question: "What do I really want to do?"What Stephen's incredible story demonstrates is that embedded in even the greatest tragedies is an opportunity for expansion.A decade after the death of his sister, a second heart-shattering loss left him distraught and angry at God. But through this agonizing darkness, he found the strands of light that eventually led him to a place of real internal peace, from whence he has inspired so many.

One of the reasons I’m happy to have someone like Stephen Kozicki on the podcast is because he brings an entirely different perspective to the process of negotiation through his approach to creating and discovering value. Stephen takes a very data-based, provable approach that serves incredibly well because it removes egos from the process and demonstrates tangible outcomes that offers of lower price alone cannot overcome.

In this episode of Ordinary To Extraordinary Ben get's to interview Stephen after being subjected to the same a few episodes ago. This was a candid interview with some real insight in to Stephen's upbringing and what brought him to the USA. Highlights include "the money story", What Stephen wants to accomplish down the line and discussion about balance.

So how does a human live on a planet or should I say a human being - live on a planet - because we are not really ‘being’ are we? Growth has become the secular religion of our time. What Stephen answered with is that the so called ‘dominant culture’ and materialism is now in an extremely problematic phase. That growth in its many ways has become the secular religion of our time.  This desire for consumerism is also consuming our future, yet ‘growth' - and even the ‘personal growth’ industry is exponentialising itself - as an idea that ‘inner growth and awareness can be sold as a commodity to people. This preoccupation of ‘increase’ - which can be easily seen in the consumer culture, is becoming predominant. Stephen who has worked in palliative care in what he called the 'death industry' he talks about - oncology, the study and treatment of tumours. He said they have a word that is a synonym for tumour and it is called - ‘a growth’ which is as a word widely used outside the industry too and it is called just ‘growth.’ He goes on to talk about what is this growth thing?  Well, in cancer it grows itself to death. This can be seen in how industrial man keeps on growing his business and the repercussions are being seen in all areas of the biosphere. Tumors grow themselves to terminate the host A growth or a tumour has no concerns about anything other than its continued unrestricted growth until finally - it terminates its host. Its mania is its demise. And the collateral damage is the person in question. Respect for the Elder Generation ‘Respect your elders’ … in his days this is what Stephen said was a description of the way things were. That elders were to be held in generic high regard. Not elevating them over the top, not inflating them to some kind of heroic status but just a sense that they have endured as long as they have - has conferred upon them some sort of - what he calls reliability - and that is the way it was - however it is not the way it is now.  And the change from then (only 75 to 100 years ago) - is now extreme. To the extent to respect your elders now is much more of a plea - that is his present day description of the way it is. Stephen says that something very fundamental has happened to people’s willingness to hold older people in inalienable high esteem. The other half of this equations is that he says: Respect your elders and they - behave and comport themselves - respectably. Where is the respect of Elders today? The young today are having difficulty in finding common ground with elders and are fundamentally challenging the term ‘respect your elders’ - if not dismissing this notion out of hand. One reason is that youth are in a position where they are inheriting a world that is in considerable disrepair  - and when they look to their elders they say but this has been done on their elders ‘watch!' Listen to the interview.   So the youth ask, how come we let this happen when we knew that there are going to be repercussions in the future and still the elders did nothing!   This being the case - we can understand why the younger generation have difficulty in respecting ‘the elders.’ Respect what? Becomes their question.  See Stephen’s book ‘Come of Age.’ What happens when you do not hold older people in high regard? Plus how does this demean the culture fundamentally? Stephen says that we today have inherited deeply troubling challenges and we can not 'wish them away' - we have to quietly and in a focused way deal with them … Listen ... Wisdom Wisdom - how does it come about?  Can you inherit wisdom? Stephen says it is not the case - Listen ... Prejudices …and bigotry He also ask the question what can you inherit? He then states - Prejudices …and bigotry - how do we pick these up? There is no labour in picking these up. There is no wisdom involved. How come these be so easily picked up? There are many subjects that are covered in this interview. Stephen’s intellect and its acuity, shows that he is very adept at the spoken word. Awake? Awake what is it?  An elevated mindfulness or … a kind of achieved state? He breaks down words like A-Wake and explains what they convey Hope? What is hope?  This was a big one and he deconstructs this word as well. Tim here, I had a huge list of questions that I did not get around to asking many of these:   Questions that I had lined up - in any order ... The Great Mystery … Life, death and beyond. What does he perceive as ‘the great mystery?’ The tyranny of hope … Pandora’s Box was the only gift that did not escape     - We are in grim times. He did elaborate on hope. Zen poet Thich Nhat Hanh was asked, “what do we most need to do to save our world?” His answer was this: “What we most need to do is to hear within us the sounds of the Earth crying.” Did Stephen wish to add anything to this? We just did not have time ... Psychology has become monotheism without God.  This is what Stephen had mentioned in a video. Could he explain? Anima Mundi, the Latin word for World Soul. His thoughts on this? We are Spiritual Beings having an earth existence?  Stephen did answer this, but not in a way that it was being asked. That as there are 7.7 billion humans on earth, were they not in someway on a spiritual journey? Or as many would say be inhabited by soul, or have a soul connection?  He did no concur or he may have misunderstood my question.  Listen Many people today are generally perceived as so disconnected from any sense of the deeper self, or soul - having instead being so busy with the outside world with all its distractions and diversions - that they have omitted to cultivate any inner values, or ‘knowing thyself’ and deepening their inquiry into why they are here in human form. This translates to being in many ways, devoid of any spiritual context. Thus not peacefully knowing how to die - But dying by medication -  sliding into a worsening stage of coma and drugged out - lacking any focus or coherency - 'dying badly.' Stephen has written on ‘dying badly.’ We are death phobic and grief illiterate - these are from his previous statements and we just never had the time to follow this up. Re-wilding our Planet and E.O Wilson’s idea of ½ of or planet being 'locked away' to regenerate without or with very little human interference. With no extraction of anything from these areas.   https://eowilsonfoundation.org/e-o-wilson-on-saving-half-the-earth/ Lack of vernacular to express one’s feelings … that men in particular are generally unable to open themselves up to being more vulnerable in showing their feelings. This was a big one being, that men in general just seem to not have the ability to articulate and say how they feel. Ecological connection - to a planet that is under siege. We did cover this, however not in the sense of that of an indigenous person, living immersed in nature. i.e have mystical experiences - as a result of fasting or a vision quest. The denial and ability to hide from the responsibility to wake up to what is happening on earth.  The Anthropocene stage that of humans now have overtaken the earth’s natural systems to self balance or heal itself from the ecological damage that we are doing it to it/‘her.' We did cover this to a small degree. That so many contemporary adults are reading non fiction, i.e Mills and Boon books - (plural) and are engaged in living vicariously through literature that is increasingly becoming more risqué and going into fantasy. That we are not acting responsibly, but in fact - deluding ourselves. A Planetary Cry In - that if we all did it - it could 'shift the field.’  This was a blue sky - 'what if question' -the fact that humans, especially men do not cry, (very few) thus are emotionally blocked - that in a grief filled moment that when we realised what we have done to the world and our collective future and continue to do so - if we realised this, have you Stephen, any opinion on such a concept? That today especially in education that women lead the men in their fields - schools girls academic qualifications are higher - since 1893 when women emancipated themselves for the first time on our planet, do you see woman as being pivotal in bring our civilisation to its senses?   www.OrphanWisdom.com Stephen is in NZ from April 30th 2019

Are you sitting on your dream, waiting for things to be “just perfect” before you give it to the world? Today’s show will give you inspiration and motivation to get things moving and put the fear aside. The time is NOW, and the world may waiting anxiously for what YOU have to offer! Stephen A. Hart is here today. In honor of Black History Month, Stephen returns as a former guest and friend of mine and friend of the show. He is the Chief Creative Officer of Isles Media, LLC. His creations include Brand You Academy and Trailblazers FM. Stephen is also a dynamic speaker on the topics of personal branding, entrepreneurship, and podcasting. His mission is to guide 10,000 people through creating an amazing personal brand over the next 5 years. How Stephen handles his busy life Have you ever launched out into something completely brand new? Stephen was brand new at podcasting when he appeared back in Episode 56 in August 2016. He shared with us the tools he used back then that he still relies on today, like Evernote. The need for organization is greater than ever before. Stephen and his wife both work full-time jobs and have two young kids. Being busy, making time for family, and prioritizing mental health are everyday challenges for Stephen. He shares with us why he took an extended break from the podcast last summer and how God’s design for him includes his listening more closely to his body.  TWEET: Sometimes you have to listen to your body and take a break when you need to. @stephenahart #chasingdreams Your nugget of wisdom What have you shared with the world? Stephen’s Brand You Academy was born from the feedback he received as people reached out to him for more each week. He then developed and created the Trailblazers brand, a platform that’s engaging and has built an amazing community. He then saw the need of personal branding help for leaders and entrepreneurs. When he spoke at Podcast Movement on, “Build, Market, and Grow Your Amazing Brand While Still Working a Full-Time Job,” he saw tremendous interest. Stephen realized that his nugget of wisdom was an idea that he needed to give life to and share with the world--without waiting on perfection. TWEET: You can’t wait on perfection until you execute your dreams. @stephenahart #chasingdreams The important thing to remember If you’re launching an online course, then you probably wouldn’t jump in before the course is complete. Stephen had to do just that, when he knew he couldn’t wait. He realized his level of understanding of branding and marketing was somewhere between 8-10, and the average person who takes the course is around 0-2.

How you guys doing, eh? I'm excited for this episode. I am very excited to share this with you actually. I was at an event this last week. I know some of you guys follow both shows I have and there's probably a third one at some point who knows but I was at this awesome event if you guys ever heard of Grant Cardone. Grant Cardone had an event called "The 10x Growth Con". It's amazing. It goes through and talks about you know basically well there's a lot of cool goal setting, how to sell better, things like that and it was interesting. It was a lot of fun. It was cool. Well my friend and mentor and old boss, Russell Brunson, CEO of ClickFunnels, came and he spoke. He was teaching everybody how all this funnel stuff works in different industries. He's like, "And if you're an e-com, this is how it works over here." There's 90 or was it 8,500 people, 8500 people. We were in a stadium, literally. We're all sitting there and the lights are dark and I was listening to Russell and he was talking, he was teaching everyone how to use a lot of cool like funnel automation and the internet to sell in different industries. One of the things that people fight a lot of times, they'll say, "Hey, Stephen this is cool but I just don't know if it works for me. I just don't think it'll work for my MLM. I just don't think it'll work for my product." You might be right. There might be some rule some whatever and you guys know I got a little bit passion in that last episode as I talked about what MLM that I'm or how I chose my MLM and things like that and frankly I still believe what I said that if you really truly cannot use anything internet related, why the heck are you in your MLM? If you can't take advantage of the cool stuff where everyone's actually buying, where the buying eyes are, where people expect to purchase stuff, where the easy sales happen, you better really, really love your product. Anyway, that's a different topic. I was sitting there and Russell's going through and he's talking about, he was teaching everybody like, "Look if I was in e-com I'd do this. If I was in retail, I'd do this. If I was an affiliate, I'd do this." Then he said, "If I was a network marketing I would do this and in fact I didn't tell Stephen. Stephen, where are you?" 8500 people so I just yelled, super loud. I was like, "Woo," and I yelled really loud and it shocked everyone around me. He goes, "What Stephen's doing in network marketing is he makes people apply to join his downline. They got to go through and before he even tells people what MLM he's in they go through, they apply and they create a relationship with him and there's this cool things that he sends out to him and it's this process. Then at the very end then he goes through and talks about his MLM, then he goes through and talks about ... " I was like, "Holy crap". He took screenshots of my funnel and he put it in front of everyone. I was like, "Oh, my gosh, dude! That's so nice of you." I thanked him like crazy, like crazy. Anyway, it was really, really cool that he did that. First of all, I was floored that he used what I'm doing as an example and I was like, "Man, this is really cool." I hope that people realize that what I'm doing here, what I'm teaching on this podcast, what I'm teaching in my product, what Secret MLM Hacks is, is extremely cutting edge. It's not like anything else that's out there. I had someone write in and ask, "Well is it like this sort of thing this other thing?" No. There's nothing else that teaches anything that does what it does. There's nothing else and it's the reason I felt passionate enough to leave my job over it, which is ludicrous. I get it. It is. I understand that but it was justified enough in my head. Everyone acts out enough reason in their head to justify at least their own behaviors and I did that and it was because of this. What I did is first I was like, "Man, that's so cool. I was like, "I hope everyone realizes what he just said and how much credibility comes with the stuff that I'm trying to teach everybody." Then I was looking through my webinar script. I was looking a moment and realized that I was watching the replays, I'm going to pull this, parts of this clip and I'm going to put it inside of my free web class. If you haven't had a chance to go through my free web class, would love to have you. Secretmlmhacks.com and what I'm doing is I'm going through and I'm using it as a piece of authority and credibility showing that what I'm teaching is actually legit. It's awesome. Straight from the mouth of the man right? Russell Brunson in ClickFunnels. You know what I mean? I am not somebody to ... because I get really weird when it comes to authority plays. In fact I was just making fun of somebody's funnel, someone's product, which is all about how cool he is and I was like, "Come on." I spoke at this event once it was all about how you should gain certain amounts of credibility inside of market places and there's an element to that you guys but I make fun of it like crazy. In fact, one of the biggest lessons I've ever heard and learned was actually also from Russell and we were talking about this very principle, should you showboat? Should you look like you are hugely wealthy and massively successful? Should you? Should you? It was interesting. We were talking about those things and I feel a little bit weird about it. I don't necessarily ... there's times and places for it and I believe that this web class that I've been doing that is a time and place, there's a very strategic place for it, which would be great to show. This is an example like, "Hey, look. The guy's talking about me and this program that you're going through right now is that not credible enough to go purchase it, right? And actually see what this is all about. See what all the buzz has been about." There's a very specific lesson that he taught me and this is all I wanted to tell you guys. This is probably going to be a shorter episode but I really believe this. I think Tai Lopez has got some great stuff I really do. I think it's funny that he's talking pictures in front of cars all the time. Since he owns them, okay, we're cool with that but I have heard of people going and renting expensive, exotic cars. This is a thing, go renting exotic looking cars and renting a very expensive looking suit and taking pictures in front of them as if it was theirs and they'll go use it as if that is what makes a sale happen, as if that is the reason why someone will come and follow you and buy from you. It drives me nuts. If that's who you really are, great! Expose that part of yourself. Be an open book. Whatever it is. If that's not your normal thing, do not feel pressured to do that stuff. I don't. Most of the time I literally just wear a T-shirt, jeans and I am barefoot all the time. Why? Because that's me. I hate shoes. Even when I did work for someone else, I never wore my shoes around the office. I had people come up to me and they'd ask me, "Are you just trying to connect with the earth a little more?" That has nothing to do with wuwu or anything like that. It's little out of straight comfort and he's like, "Oh, really? They let you do that here?" I was like, "I don't know. I just never really asked. I just kind of took my shoes off all day." Whatever those differences are in your life, it's all about expanding and highlighting the differences in your life. But, there are times and place when it comes to using credibility, when showing like, "Look I do know what the heck I'm talking about." You should have that as well. It doesn't mean you have to go around. I know some people, you're like I don't feel comfortable running around me like oh, man. Look how good I am. If it feels that way to you then it probably feels that way to other people as well. Okay? There's a level of confidence that you should have. The most confident person in the room always wins. That's one of my favorite quotes. You could be fighting for the wrong point. You could be actually totally dead wrong but as long as you're the most confident person in the room, you will always win. You must be confident. You must have confidence in what you do and what you sell, your MLM's product, the opportunity you're with. You must be confident with it. If you cannot have complete absolute certainty in what it is you're selling, start looking at what you're doing. When it comes to those things there is this area where you should, you should show off a little, know how to talk about yourself appropriately. Look, I am doing X. Look, I am good at it. Look, I'm really good at Y and Z. Look, I'm really good at it. This person over here said that as well. Got some credibility from him. There's ways to do it without looking like you're a self-centered jerk. Can I say that? I don't know. But, that's how I feel though. And there's ways to do it though without looking like you are using your authority and credibility to solely sell. You can use it to help break people's beliefs about you and rebuild it and help them realize that yeah, I actually have done this stuff. That's the same reason someone asks for a resume. This is another form of a resume a far more effective one in my opinion but this is like having a resume that's actually valid that people are actually going to care about when someone else says, "Yes, you are doing great." Yes, he's someone else who's higher in their level of influence, higher in their level of authority. There are certain times and places to use it. Just be careful that to your audience, don't look like you're being self-centered. Here's the quote, this was taught to me also by my friend and mentor, Russell Brunson, and this is what he said, "If you want credibility, don't seek it." That's what he said to me. I said, "Oh, that's really good." He said, "Seriously, if you want credibility in your life, don't seek it. If you want fame don't seek it. If you want ... " the moment you begin to look like you are seeking authority, your market sees it and they will distance themselves from you because you are actively trying to increase the plane that you are on. You are actively trying to increase the level that you're on. You're trying to show look how good I am, instead of buoying up the other people around you. I think it was Tony Robinson who said, "To get what you want in life, all you got to do is help everyone get the things they want in life." You got to help enough people to get what they want in life and you'll have what you want in life. It's all about helping other people, but there's a level, there's a spot when it comes to doing ... anyway, anyway I hope you guys get the point. Hope you guys get the idea of what I'm trying to say here. Is that there's a level, there's an area where it's helpful to do so to actually talk, you need to know how to talk about yourself. You got to know how to sell yourself. They're buying you after all but do it in a way where it doesn't look like you're completely egotistical and if you go, "Stephen what's wrong with that?" You know what? Maybe there's nothing wrong with that but there are people who are attracted to that and a huge amount of people who are not. Anyway, my challenge to you guys. Yes, I'm going to challenge you on this podcast episode today is if you have no video of somebody else talking about how great you've been in their life, go get it. If you have no person of authority who is saying, "Oh, my gosh look. Steve Larson says I'm great." Or, in my case, Russell Brunson says, "This stuff works and this is great." You need that kind of stuff. There are very, very famous marketing launches where the entrepreneur has gone out and they've launched a product and they've got the sales funnel, they've got the sales script, they've got tons and tons of ... , they got lots of sales stuff. They do it right and they make tons of money and they'll close the cart down and people can't buy it for a long time and they'll go get results with the people who bought. There was this ... I can't remember his name, I'm so sorry you guys. I remember the lesson, I remember the principle so I'm sorry I quote it who it was but what he did is he went and he took all of the social proof. He took all the testimonials. He took all of the result people were having with his actual product and he went and he relaunched his product with no sales video, no sales script. There was literally nothing on the page except an absolutely, gigantic webpage full of testimonials and it made as much money as the first time he launched it with no sales script, no sales video. That's the power of it, guys. Social proof is huge. Getting the bless off of people that are higher in authority and influence of you is huge. You should have that stuff. You should get it. You should know when to use it. You should know when to talk about yourself. You should know when not to. You should know when it might be sounding and feeling like you're just completely obsessed with yourself you're not actually there to solve legitimate problems inside the marketplace, right? In fact, for those of you guys who have seen it. In fact the very funnel Russell was talking about, the way I do it is I go through and I get a whole bunch of videos of people talking about how I've helped solve actual legitimate problems for them next to the actual application. As you're filling out the application to join my downline, people are saying, "Look, Stephen helped me with this, this and this. This is what was going on in my life beforehand now, this is what's going on in my life afterwards." That's me doing exactly the very same thing. There are times to use it but not every single piece, 24/7 is me saying, "Look how great I am. Look how amazing I am." Know when to use it. My challenge to you is that if you have been helping people, which I'm sure you have been, I hope you have been. If you feel like there's no one you can reach out to and say, "Hey, do you mind filming just a little video for me, just on your phone saying, "Hey, this is what my life before I met Stephen this is what it was like afterwards."" If there's no one that you can reach out to, I wager that you've not done enough for other people. What I would do is go get a whole bunch of videos from the people in your downline or other people who are of influence who would only do something like that with you and give you that stamp of approval saying, "Ei, I certify this guy." Be truthful about it. Be ethical about it. But doing that does a lot. I'm very excited. I'm taking that video clip out. I can't believe he said that on Grant Cardone's stage in front of 8500 people, very, very nice of him and he walked through the funnel briefly. I'm going to take that and I'm going to put it inside the Secret MLM Hacks free web class so you guys can see the very concept I'm talking about in that web class. You guys can see his christening of what I'm talking about, okay? Go ahead if you've not checked that out. I would love to have you guys.

Check out if a Kelley MBA is right for you: https://bit.ly/3m2G6D5 ---- Show Notes: Shane: It's been said by Deborah Tannen that communication and dialogue is a dance, not a boxing match. What does that mean you might be asking? Well, in order to get what you want in business, or in life, you HAVE to be a great negotiator… And after listening to this episode of The ROI Podcast, you'll have the tools of a powerful negotiator. Let's do this! (The ROI Podcast Music) Shane: WELCOME BACK!!! Episode 29 of The ROI Podcast is here… 29 episodes, Phil… It's hard to believe, isn't it? Shane: Phil… I want you to think of something… How important is a negotiation, and communication in general, in our lives? I mean, think about it. When you're a kid you negotiate with your parents for that new toy or to stay out past curfew. At work, you negotiate a higher salary or an idea you've pitched. Even things we don't think about like negotiating where you and your spouse will have dinner… We do this often times subconsciously. 11:05 Steve: In today's dynamic business and professional world, you cannot predict outcomes - you can't even predict relationships at all times. But if you master process, if you understand how to play the game of negotiations, then that process skill set emboldens you to realize that you'll find the answer. 11:33 You don't need to know the answer at the beginning - if you master process, you'll recognize the answer when you find it. Phil: You just heard from Stephen Hayford, Professor of Business Law at the Kelley School of Business. He's an expert in negotiation and conflict resolution… Steve: I've learned to recognize the people who do and don't understand the process – those who don't understand the process, when they find themselves in conflict, negotiating a contract, or solving a problem, tend to focus on arguments on who's right and who's wrong. They [also] tend to focus on overuse and overreliance on power – power and the merit of ideas are both very important aspects of negotiated decision-making, but when one recognizes and understands the importance of process, you have a playbook you can consistently use. Can I add one thing here to what Steven is saying: sometimes we get in trouble or we do a bad job with negotiating or we don't get as much out of it because we hurry up the process. Phil: And that was Tatiana Kolovou, Senior Lecturer at the Kelley School of Business. Tatiana's expertise also falls within negotiation and conflict management. We're not patient enough to try to learn more about the other person, to try to build rapport, and maybe be able to use the information, not in a bad way, but to use it to build the relationship further. If we try to hurry it up and think that it's a transaction, like putting gas in your car at the gas station, you're not going to be able to be successful. What Stephen teaches is all of those signs and signals and having faith in the fact that this process exists and you have to walk the path. Shane: I'm going to pause there for a second and let's talk about this process, which is so important. What is this process? Where do you start? Phil: So Stephen and Tatiana say it starts before the negotiating ever begins. Stephen: I think the real key at the front end is listening. This idea of diagnosing the relationship, for example, if I'm dealing with you as a supplier and you are my customer, and I know that you have three viable alternatives to working with me, that's going to make a big difference in the way I present myself to you contrasted with the circumstance where I know that I am your only alternative. There is no what we call “BATNA”, Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement - if I know that you are an impatient negotiator, I understand from the beginning that I'm going to have to slow you down and show you the benefit of methodical approaches, as opposed to shooting from the hip. My experience has taught me that mindfulness, being alert, being patient, diagnosing the circumstance before I begin to act always pays off. Phil: And from a communication standpoint… Tatiana: First, you have to exude confidence, and I'm not talking about the over-confidence, sort of the aggressive “I'm going to take you down!” type of confidence, but a sense of calm and collectiveness that people have when you see them, you think, “This person has their act together”. It goes from how you sit at the table, how you make eye contact, how you learn and listen, or how you mirror the body language of the person you're interacting with. If you are to be patient and calm, your body has to speak that as well. Sometimes our students don't see that – they are in a certain channel of operation, and no one has stopped to say to them, “You tend to frown a little too much when you're listening, and it may look like you're not accepting what the other person is telling you!” I've done this quite often or videotaped people, and they have these big awareness “aha!” moments where they realize they may not be coming across as being open listeners to what the person is saying. Even from a body language - I'm reading a lot on power cues and in general, use of gestures – you want to be able to communicate that confidence, but you also want to read your audience. Phil: So that's step 1 of this negotiation process. The next step is starting the conversation and Steve: Focusing on process, I think the first substantive  step is to bifurcate the issues at play into what we call distributive issues, those that involve these resource allocations - zero-sum, thick sum kind of decision-making, like cost, time, the available technology perhaps - and separating or delineating them from what we call the integrative issues where the parties' goals are not in a conflict where it's not a zero-sum game where we can create value. In that first distributive side, those issues are all about claiming value, and that's an important part of the negotiation. If I'm a supplier, I want to maximize the price I achieve for my product or service. At the same time, it's important that we move the process toward the value-creation side, which is integrative bargaining; we create value by identifying our mutual, non-conflicting goals and the interests that underpin those goals for each of us, and then we focus the process on serving those interests. Tatiana: As we've said earlier, at this point, listening, paraphrasing, and clarifying is important so that you show that you have invested interest in being there with your counterpart in the negotiation - that, again, is an opportunity to build rapport. How you do that is probably more with non-verbals than with verbals - you even want to nod and make strong and good eye contact. We talk about remembering people's eye color, doing that intentional of eye contact so that you are not distracted by anything or people around you, obviously not any technology and being a good listener. In some cases, you want to show that depending on the situation or where you are, that you're pacing with the person that you're negotiating with. If the person seems to talk a little faster or seems to want to decide or speak to one specific topic, that you're mirroring some of that, you don't completely follow your style of communication. You dance with them, if you may say, so that you can be more in that equilibrium that Stephen was talking about. That doesn't mean that you're not direct or precise in your wording – as a good communicator, we recommend you pick your topic and your theme and you keep going back to that. Phil: So we've got the trust being built, we've begun to use our non-verbal's to move the conversation forward… Next, we have to look for the nonverbals the other person is giving us to let us know whether we can move and push the conversation even further. Tatiana: The head-nodding, the eye contact, the open body language – all of that kind of tells me that I can move forward. If the person starts their shuffling papers, or if you start looking at your watch or distracted by what's going on behind you, that just doesn't give the signal that you have the patience to move forward to the next step with the person that you're working with. Phil: But as I'm sure we've all experienced… We are human and we make mistakes… So we asked Tatiana and Stephen what are some common mistakes they see in negotiation and how can we correct them? Steve: I think inadequate preparation is one of the big ones that I see. I think the failure to manage the expectations of one's constituency before you get to the table, so as to define was a truly acceptable outcome is. Tatiana: I want to quote the author Deborah Tannen that talks about “communication and dialogue is a dance, it's not a boxing match”. If you go into it thinking you're going to shoot, they're going to shoot, you're going to be playing offense and defense all the time, you can't be a good listener because you're just waiting for them to slip so that you can get your point across. you have to learn to flex your style if you're going to be a good negotiator. When we don't, that's a big mistake – we have to adapt. Phil: So to wrap this up – when you're heading into a negotiation situation: Prepare, know the process and the agenda you're wanting to accomplish, but also be flexible – because as Tatiana said: Negotiation is a dance, not a boxing match. (ROI Music) Shane: Negotiating can be one of those topics that can be uncomfortable for us in the beginning, but what I really picked up from Stephen and Tatiana is it's not nearly as intimidating if you go in prepared and set some clear expectations. Shane: And that's going to do it for this episode of the ROI Podcast. Thank you to Kelley professors Tatiana and Stephen for sharing their expertise with us. And both of them will have a course opened up to the business community in the coming months. We'll post more about that when it becomes available. Phil: And don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review on iTunes. Shane: And we'll be right back here next week on the ROI Podcast!

Stephen Ritz is such an inspiring person. He is full of energy and passion, and has a true love of making a difference in the world. Stephen is a teacher in the Bronx, New York. But, he is unlike any teacher you have probably met before. After accidentally starting a garden in his classroom, his life and the lives of the children in his school, and really his whole community has completely been transformed. Stephen and his students began growing so much food, that they were able to provide food for the entire school. This soon took off, and Stephen and his students started creating gardens all over the Bronx and even supplied students with paying jobs. What Stephen and his community are doing is not only supplying fresh fruit and vegetables where they are currently not available, but also helping these children, who most are extremely low-income, or in group homes, or foster homes, to love being at school and increasing engagement. His class went from 40% attendance to 93% daily. It's really incredible the impact he is making and people have noticed... Stephen has done several TED Talks, his work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The Guardian, ABC, CNN, NBC, NPR, and him and his class were even invited to the White House in 2014. And, as awesome as all of that it, by implementing the healthy eating that he has learned about and by growing his own food, Stephen has lost over 100 lbs. I really can't say enough about Stephen. He is extremely inspiring and his energy and passion is contagious.  Check out these videos and TED Talks featuring Stephen's Work! https://youtu.be/mygfJZAQZ3g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7uFnvnjIKw https://www.ted.com/talks/stephen_ritz_a_teacher_growing_green_in_the_south_bronx?language=en Check out Stephen's new book The Power of a Plant! http://stephenritz.com/the-power-of-a-plant/ Be sure to keep up with Stephen and The Green Bronx Machine on social media: Facebook: Stephen Ritz, Green Bronx Machine Instagram: @stephenritz, @greenbronxmachine Twitter: @stephenritz, @greenbxmachine  Websites: stephenritz.com greenbronxmachine.org     Credits: Music: www.bensound.com

In this special episode of Innovation Rising, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Stephen Hunter, Physical Therapy Administrator for Intermountain Healthcare Physical Therapy and founder of ROMS, which stands for Rehab Outcomes Management System, which he developed at Intermountain Healthcare in 2000 and which was accepted to go through the Intermountain Foundry Program in 2015. Stephens passion for the startup is palpable and I had a great time in my conversation with him. Stephen has been with Intermountain for over 31 years where he is the active administrator over 11 outpatient orthopedic PT clinics and a practicing clinician. Stephen is the Author and co-author to several articles establishing the value of physical therapy and has his Clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Utah.   In 2014, Intermountain Healthcare launched their Foundry Program in partnership with Healthbox. The Foundry is a part-time program providing resources and guidance to vet the business aspects of employee ideas that could either benefit Intermountain internally or have additional commercialization potential outside of the system. For more details on setup, genesis, and background of Intermountain’s innovation focus, have a listen to our previous episode with Jeremy Porter, the Director of Business Development at Intermountain Healthcare.   In this episode Stephen and I discuss: What ROMS is today and how it works How Stephen sees his product making an impact on the industry and improving the lives of patients Stephen’s experience in the Intermountain Foundry Program and what he got out of it Stephen’s thoughts around how being a physical therapist himself helped him in creating ROMS What advice Stephen has for entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs who don’t have access to such dedicated resources as the Intermountain Foundry: Who would be other people internal innovators should look to add to their team? How can internal innovators obtain the executive support they need? How the ROMS solution helps achieve impactful results in a value based care model What obstacles Stephen faces as he continues to build ROMS as an employee-innovator What Stephen is most excited about in healthcare innovation right now   Connect with Stephen: LinkedIn ROMS   Learn more about Intermountain Health Website Twitter   Links mentioned in the show: Innovation at Intermountain Episode 2 with Jeremy Porter   Connect with Healthbox Follow us on Twitter Subscribe and leave a review in iTunes Have guest suggestions or topic ideas for the podcast?

Taboo Talk, a Christian talk show featuring Lady Charmaine Day (Pastor, Publisher, Author and Radio Host www.ladycharmaineday.com). Taboo Talk helps individuals transform their mind, body, and spirit utilizing the principles of Jesus Christ! Guest starring Stephen Cuddy. Stephen Cuddy has experienced depression since the early 1980’s. Not until 2006 did Stephen fully acknowledge the condition of depression in his life. Since then, Stephen has learned about and discovered natural cures, came upon the revelation that there actually are gifts from depression, and has documented strategies for those without depression to understand and reach out to someone they care about with depression. Stephen believes that within every individual stricken with a mental illness there’s an actual person trying to get out. Stephen believes there are strategies to find this person.  Today Stephen is a depression advocate and coach, appearing regularly on radio as well as consulting at a Fortune 50 company and other organizations. Stephen is certified and active in mental health programs (specifically In Our Own Voice, Perspectives and Connections) offered by The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). He runs the Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA) program for Catholic Charities in the Hartford, Connecticut archdiocese. In addition, Stephen writes on matters of spirituality under the authority as a Third Order Secular Franciscan. He has begun a ministry to promote virtue in the treatment of mental illness. He treats everyone equally, and with respect. These qualities come through in his writing as well, and resonate powerfully with the people with whom he comes in contact.  Stephen enjoys exercise and athletic competitions, and reading biographies about U.S. History and Saints. What Stephen most loves about life is being inspired! For more information on Stephen Cuddy his website: www.CommonSymptomsofDepression.com or call him at 203-565-1559

All discussions of energetic imbalances reference certain frequencies an imbalance may be similar to. A frequency is NOT the actual disease; Newly revealed Hereditary imbalances added to the AIM database, and something interesting about 8517 that we inadvertently left out last week; What Stephen's first major teacher taught him: "The concept that we don't know a darn thing. We see and know 10% of the iceberg above water. 90% of the iceberg that you can't see is what sank the Titanic and is what defines my area of work."; Healing, like life itself, is a spiritual phenomenon. Referenced the excerpt in Wayne Dyer's "There's A Spiritual Solution to Every Problem" that highlights Stephen's work and AIM (the audio and transcript is available on all of our web sites, linked on the homepage on Facil sites); Speaking of "The Power of Your Intention" (book by Wayne Dyer), it's your intention that creates a world of joy, or of cancer or anything else; What AIM does is bring something to your consciousness that you then heal/get rid of it - there is no medicine, no treatment, just you healing with the help of a tool called AIM; Read a paragraph from the Max Speaks chapter in Sanctuary, something we'll visit more next week. This is a good companion to last night's monthly call/discussion of self-responsibility.

All discussions of energetic imbalances reference certain frequencies an imbalance may be similar to. A frequency is NOT the actual disease; Newly revealed Hereditary imbalances added to the AIM database; Discussed several frequency components and their potential impact on the energetic orb of the brain and related muscles that may contract and cause pain; Discussion of energetic and emotional healing versus medical issues, referencing the "Resolving the Unknowable" chapter in Sanctuary, particularly page 129; You are the only one who can heal you, and as we heal our energetic imbalances, we have "an increased ability to release unproductive and uncomfortable patterns in our lives" - page 133; The term "finished detoxing" is a misnomer and doesn't mean anyone is "done". What Stephen means is that more and more people are not showing any remaining imbalances at the time their photo is checked. As other frequencies are revealed, and as our ability to "see" advances next week, or next month or next year, if you are not still on AIM, you cannot benefit from any of those "new" frequencies; The work of EMC2 is critically important to life, and if you believe in it, you understand the increasing urgency to continue with us.
