Fabien Pinckaers is the Founder & CEO of Odoo, one of the most incredible businesses that you might not have heard of. Built from the countryside of Belgium, they do an astonishing $650M in ARR, they have over 5,000 employees and have over 50,000 companies as customers. Even better, Fabian openly does not ever want to sell the company, IPO, believes that titles in companies are total BS and most management is done completely wrong.  In Today's Episode with Fabien We Discuss:  1. Everything You Know About Management is Wrong: Why is it BS to give people titles in a company? How does Odoo hire people after only one interview?  Why does Odoo prefer to hire really young people under 30? Why does Fabien think it is the worst to build a team in Silicon Valley? 2. The Billionaire Who Does Not Care About Money: Why does Fabien literally not care about money and does not even own a house? Why does Fabien refuse to ever sell or IPO Odoo? How does Fabien plan to offer liquidity to investors if he never wants to sell or IPO? 3. Why Did Every VC Turn Down the $5BN Odoo: What are Fabien's biggest lessons from being rejected by every VC for Odoo? What did they not see that they should have seen?  Why did Fabien always want the price of the company on every funding round to be as low as possible?  How does Fabien advise founders on pitching VCs today, knowing all he knows? 4. Scaling to $650M in ARR: The Biggest Lessons:  Why does Fabien believe the biggest mistake companies make is they lose focus? What did Fabien not do with Odoo that they should have done? What did Fabien do and invest in, that with the benefit of hindsight they should not have done? When did the business start to break with scale? What would Fabien have done differently knowing all he does know?

We can figure out how much money our ecosystems are worth, and let the market do the rest! Welcome to the logic of green capitalism. Fossil fuel giants claim to celebrate sustainability while pumping out toxic emissions. Governments are relying on carbon offsets to make their climate promises add up. And we're told that we can fight the climate crisis with the magic of economic markets. Why have corporations got so interested in sustainability?

If there is any one word that is synonymous with tackling climate change it is “electrification”. Yes, getting off fossil fuels and taking the majority of CO2 out of our economy are the goals of many working on the climate, but if there was one silver bullet for the climate movement its generating more clean electricity.  Renewable forms of energy have sharply decreased in price over the last twenty years, and battery storage solutions are coming on in leaps and bounds, but most of the world is still tied to oil and gas for their electricity use.

Potty training puppies is every pet owner's rite of passage. Along with all the cuddles and playtime comes the inevitable challenge of potty training. It can be a frustrating and messy process, leaving many dog owners feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to start. cute jack russel puppy playing with toilet paper. | Photographer: Georgiy DatsenkoAs someone who has trained dog owners how to survive and thrive in their puppy-potty-training-journey, I'm here to help. My Puppy Coach program and FREE Potty Training Course were inspired by each dog owner's journey from frustration to confidence! And I'm sharing some of the big tidbits with you in this blog. Key Takeaways: Potty training puppies before they get older can help make your training more effective. Shouting, getting angry, punishments, and even indulgence are detrimental to potty training puppies. Treats plus positive reinforcement can do wonders to your potty training experience.

Some puppy parents feel that they have to wait until the puppy is a couple of months old before introducing potty training. It's an assumption I totally understand: when dogs are pups, they may look too young and vulnerable to be doing any actual training with them. But here's a puppy fact I want every dog owner to know: your puppy's brain is like a sponge. The younger they are, the more they can absorb information. This fact has actually inspired me to make a schedule for potty training 8 week-old puppies that I recommend to fur dads and moms.   Another plus: younger puppies have not yet caught negative habits that might interfere with your training. By starting early, you can take advantage of this prime learning period and make potty training a smoother, more effective process. START TRAINING PUPPIES WITH THE RIGHT FOUNDATION. START WITH THE PUPPY COACH™️ PROGRAM. Potty Training Puppies: How Long Does It Take to Train Them? I consider this a legitimate question. Pee accidents are a serious business, so it's easy to want to squeeze the duration of the entire potty training journey in a month. However, when it comes to training young puppies to use the potty, PATIENCE IS KEY. Which also means riding the potty training up from four months to a year. You're Not Just Teaching Your Puppies to Potty the Right Way — You're Teaching Trust, and Right from Wrong “Why can't I finish everything in a month, Doggy Dan?” Puppy potty training is more than just teaching your dog where to potty, and how to potty right. In fact, everything begins with your relationship with your puppy. The level of trust between you and your furbaby will influence the length of your potty training journey. You need to first build trust, routine, familiarization and recognition, then consistency. It will take a while, but if you stick with it, the steps will work out.

Different Methods and Tools That Make Potty Training Puppies Fast “But is there any way for me to ensure that my puppy learns fast?” Here's a MAJOR puppy potty training realization I have learned through the years: YOU — dog owner — hold the key! Most of the time, it's not the training that is long and slow. Sometimes, dog owners are in so much hurry, they make training difficult and complicated for their dogs. If you really want to help your puppies learn potty training fast, here are some tips — and tools — to have. Methods and Tools #1: Build Trust with Your Puppy To effectively potty train your puppy, it's important to establish a relationship of trust and respect. Remember that your puppy is just a baby, and may not yet understand what is expected of them. Take the time to get to know your puppy, and let them get to know you. FROM WELL-TRAINED PUPPIES TO WELL-TRAINED DOGS. TRANSITION WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE™️. Play with them, give them treats, and make sure they feel safe and loved. When your puppy trusts you, they'll be more willing to learn and follow your lead. Methods and Tools #2: Have the Right Tools When it comes to potty training puppies, having the right tools can make all the difference. Invest in a good quality crate or pen, as well as some puppy pads or outdoor training pads. These tools will help you create a safe and comfortable space for your puppy to learn, and will also make clean-up easier. Additionally, make sure you have plenty of treats, toys, and praise on hand to reward your puppy for good behavior. Methods and Tools #3: Start Slow One of the biggest mistakes dog owners make when potty training their puppies is trying to do too much too soon. Remember, your puppy is still learning and developing, and they may not be ready for full-on potty training right away. Instead, start slow and gradually introduce them to the idea of potty training. Begin by taking them outside to potty after meals and naps. Gradually increase the time between potty breaks as they become more accustomed to the routine. PUPPY COACH™️: THE PROGRAM TRUSTED BY THOUSANDS OF PUPPY OWNERS. Methods and Tools #4: Stick to Routines Consistency is key when it comes to potty training puppies. Establish a routine for your puppy that includes regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, and sleep. Stick to this routine as much as possible, even on weekends or holidays. When your puppy knows what to expect, they'll be less anxious and more relaxed, making it easier for them to learn and follow your commands. And remember, be patient and stay positive — potty training is a process, but with the right tools and attitude, you and your puppy can succeed! Can You Potty Train 8 Week-old Puppies? How Early Can You Start? The good news is that you can start as early as 8 weeks old! While some may say that it's too early to start potty training at this age, the truth is that it's actually the perfect time. Puppies are like sponges at this age – they absorb everything around them and are eager to learn. PUPPY ALL GROWN UP? TRAIN YOUR GROWING DOGS WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE™️. That being said, it's also a need to keep in mind that your puppy is still a baby, and their bladder and bowel control is still developing. This means that accidents will happen, and that's okay! Be patient, and remember that potty training is a process that takes time and consistency. To start potty training your 8 week-old puppy, begin by setting up a designated potty area and taking them to it frequently. Use a consistent cue word or phrase (like "go potty") to help your puppy learn what is expected of them. Reward your puppy with plenty of praise and treats when they go in the right spot, and try not to punish them for accidents — this will only confuse and scare them. Common Mistakes to Avoid When Potty Training Puppies Potty training puppies can be a challenging task, and there are many common mistakes that dog owners make along the way. If you don't want any delay or mishap to happen during your potty training journey with your puppy, here are some mistakes to take note of. Mistake #1: Rushing Things Too Soon It's important to remember that potty training takes time and patience. Rushing your puppy can actually slow down the process and make it more difficult. Give your puppy plenty of time to learn, and don't expect them to be fully trained overnight. Mistake #2: Scaring Puppies Punishing your puppy for accidents can actually make them scared of going potty in front of you, which can make training even more difficult. Instead, focus on positive reinforcement by rewarding good behavior with treats and praise. And IF they do make mistakes, acknowledge the mistake without shouting, stomping your feet, threatening your puppy. And please — absolutely avoid rubbing their face on their pee. GET THIS FREE POTTY TRAINING GUIDE FROM DOGGY DAN! Statements like “Oh, dear!” and immediately cleaning up the spot will send a message without the terror. Mistake #3: Not Reinforcing Behavior Properly Reinforcing good behavior is key to potty training success. Make sure you're rewarding your puppy every time they go potty in the right spot, and use a consistent cue word or phrase to help them learn what is expected of them. Mistake #4: Not Starting with a Plan or a Schedule Establishing a routine is crucial in training puppies, as dogs are creatures of habit and do not appreciate unpredictability. Without a consistent schedule, potty training can become confusing for your puppy, leading to accidents, frustration, and delayed progress. By setting up a routine, your puppy will know when to expect potty breaks and when to hold their bladder, making it easier for them to learn and develop good habits. Mistake #5: Not sticking to a Routine Puppies thrive on routine, and it's important to establish a consistent schedule for potty breaks. If you're not consistent with taking your puppy out to potty, they may not learn good habits. Mistake #6: Not Taking Cues From Your Puppy It's important to pay attention to your puppy's behavior and cues to determine if they are ready for potty training. If your puppy is still having accidents, it may be a sign that they need more time to develop bladder and bowel control. By avoiding these common mistakes and staying patient and consistent, you can help your puppy develop good potty habits and make the potty training process as smooth as possible. How Do I Stop My Puppies From Peeing In The House? One of the biggest challenges of puppy potty training is getting them to stop peeing in the house. PUPPY COACH™️: HELPING PUPPY OWNERS TRAIN THEIR FURBABIES WITHOUT THE STRESS AND FRUSTRATION. Accidents can happen, but with a bit of patience and consistency, you can teach your furry friend the appropriate place to go. Tip #1: Firstly, it's important to designate a spot for your puppy to pee outside. This will help your puppy learn where they should go and also make it easier for you to clean up after them. Make sure this spot is easily accessible, and take your puppy there regularly throughout the day. Tip #2: If your puppy does have an accident inside the house, it's important to clean it up immediately. Cleaning up a pee spot can prevent puppies from coming back to the same place. Use an enzymatic cleaner specifically designed for pet messes, as it will effectively break down any odors and discourage your puppy from returning to that spot. Tip #3: Another helpful strategy is to use a crate to help your puppy hold their pee for longer periods. Dogs generally avoid going potty in their sleeping area, so using a crate can help teach your puppy to hold their bladder until they are taken to their designated potty spot. However, it's important to make sure the crate is not too big for your puppy, as they may be more likely to pee in a large area that they don't consider their sleeping space. Tip #4: Finally, it's important to assess your dog's readiness for outdoor potty training. If your puppy is not yet ready to go potty outside, you can use a crate or potty grass indoors to help them learn where they should go. Make sure to be patient and consistent with your training approach, and to praise your puppy when they do go potty in the right spot. With time and persistence, your puppy will learn where to go potty and become fully trained. DOG CALMING CODE™️: THE PROGRAM FOR YOUR BIGGER, GROWING DOGS. Potty Training Puppies: How To Instruct Puppies To Tell You They Have to Pee One of the most important aspects of potty training your puppy is teaching them to let you know when they need to go outside to potty. Here are some tips on how to instruct your puppy to tell you when they have to pee: Tip #1: Follow a Routine and Be Familiar with It Consistency is key when it comes to potty training your puppy. Establish a routine and stick to it. Take your puppy outside to their designated potty spot at regular intervals, such as first thing in the morning, after meals, and before bedtime. Over time, your puppy will learn to associate these times with going potty outside. Tip #2: Use Clear, Distinct Commands When you take your puppy outside to potty, use a clear, distinct command such as "go potty" or "do your business." Say the command in a positive tone of voice and wait patiently for your puppy to go potty. LEARN THE BASIC FOUNDATIONS OF POTTY TRAINING PUPPIES WITH THE PUPPY COACH™️ Tip #3: Be Familiar With Their Body Language Puppies often give signals when they need to go potty, such as sniffing around or circling. Be familiar with your puppy's body language so you can anticipate when they need to go outside. If you notice these signals, take your puppy outside to their designated potty spot immediately. How to Use Treats the Right Way When Potty Training Puppies Treats are a powerful tool when it comes to potty training your puppy. Used correctly, they can help reinforce good potty training habits and make the process more enjoyable for both you and your furry friend. Here are some tips on how to use potty training treats the right way: #1: Emphasize the Power of Treats and Positive Reinforcement Treats can be an effective way to encourage your puppy to go potty outside. However, giving treats alone may not work in the long run. Use positive reinforcement, such as praise or playtime, to create a positive association with going potty outside. #2: Only Use Treats Specifically for Potty Training When using treats for potty training, it's important to use treats that are specifically designated for this purpose. This means using treats that are small, easy to chew, and not too rich or filling. Using high-value treats such as cheese or chicken can be effective, but it's important to reserve these treats only for potty training sessions to maintain their effectiveness. #3: Use Treats for Specific Commands When taking your puppy outside to go potty, use a specific command such as "go potty" or "do your business" and reward your puppy with a treat immediately after they've done their business. This will help your puppy learn to associate going potty outside with the command and the reward. #4: Couple Treats with Positive Reinforcement When using treats for potty training, it's important to pair them with positive reinforcement such as praise, petting, or playtime. This will help reinforce good behavior and create a positive association with going potty outside. PUPPY COACH™️: LEARN THE SECRETS TO TRAINING PUPPIES THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY. What Are the Best Treats for Potty Training Puppies? Potty training your puppy can be challenging, but using treats as a reward for good behavior can make the process smoother and more enjoyable. However, not all treats are created equal when it comes to potty training. In this section, we'll discuss the best treats for potty training puppies and why they're effective. Best Treats #1: Small Training Treats These are often small and soft, making them easy to chew and digest quickly. They come in a variety of flavors and can be used for training sessions. Best Treats #2: Freeze-dried Treats These are often small and lightweight, making them easy to carry around and use as rewards during potty training sessions. Best Treats #3: Low-calorie Treats If your puppy is on a special diet or if you're concerned about their weight, look for low-calorie treats that won't add too many extra calories to their daily intake. How Positive Reinforcement + Treats Help in Potty Training Puppies I'm a big believer of positive reinforcement especially in training dogs. Our dogs LOVE it when we're proud of and because of them. But I also believe that positive reinforcement alone can only do so much before our dogs tire out. So here's a formula I would recommend: positive reinforcement + treats = success. Why? Here are a few reasons. Firstly, it makes the training process enjoyable for both you and your puppy. Your puppy is more likely to look forward to the training sessions when they know they will receive treats as rewards. Secondly, it strengthens the bond between you and your dog. Treats + praise promotes trust and a positive relationship. Your puppy will begin to associate you with positive experiences and will be more willing to obey your commands. Lastly, it provides a clear and consistent message to your puppy that certain behaviors are desirable and will be rewarded. By helping your dog understand that great habits give them reward, you are making it easier for them to learn and repeat the desired behavior in the future. Important reminder: It's necessary to note that positive reinforcement or treats alone should not be used as a sole training method. Use other training techniques, such as establishing a routine, using a designated potty spot, and giving consistent commands. When used correctly and consistently, positive reinforcement and treats can make the potty training process more enjoyable for both you and your furry friend while reinforcing positive associations with desired behaviors. DOG CALMING CODE™️: PREPARING PUPPIES TO BECOME WELL-TRAINED, CALMER DOGS Conclusion: A Successful Potty Training for Puppies Start with YOU Let me emphasize this: the success of your puppy's potty training lies in your hands. Waiting for your puppy to figure it out on their own won't work—they need your guidance. Establishing a consistent routine is crucial, but it's up to you to enforce it. The truth is, your puppy needs you to make potty training successful. It can be overwhelming to think about, but don't worry, you're not alone. I'm here to help. Countless puppy owners have come to me, feeling hopeless and frustrated, only to exclaim, "It's working! I'm finally getting the hang of potty training my puppy!" By following the best practices in puppy potty training and taking advantage of the free course I have available, you too can become a happy, stress-free puppy owner.   ~ Doggy Dan

From Doing the Right Thing for the Win!   In our last few +1s, we've been talking about The Law of Cause and Effect.   We started with Michael Singer's wisdom. Then we went old school with Jesus and Epictetus.    I promised we'd talk about what modern SCIENCE has to say about applying the basic ideas of The Law of Cause and Effect to the process of optimizing our lives.   That's what we'll do Today.   But…   First…   As we journey back from 2,000 years ago to today, let's pause briefly and see what another one of my favorite teachers had to say about the subject.   In 1841, the great American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote an essay called “Compensation” in which he did his thing by integrating wisdom from the East with our Western perspective.   He tells us: “Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit, cannot be severed; for the effect already blooms in the cause, the end preexists in the means, the fruit in the seed.”   Yep.    There you go.   The Law of Cause and Effect.   Now…   On to the science!   Here's the short story.   Research shows that people who can MAKE THE CONNECTION between the things they do and the Energy/Productivity/Connection they feel NOW are MUCH MORE likely to actually DO THE THINGS they say they want to do than people who don't make that connection.   Michelle Segar calls it having “the right why.”   In her great book, No Sweat, she tells us that people who succeed in consistently engaging in healthy behaviors like eating well, moving their bodies and getting good sleep have CONCRETE goals rather than abstract goals.    When you ask people who ACTUALLY DO the things they know are best for them, they will, essentially, tell you that the reason they do them is TO FEEL GREAT NOW.   Unfortunately, most of us (75% of the people in her research!) have abstract goals like “getting healthier” or “losing weight.”   Those might be good reasons but they're not EFFECTIVE reasons.   As it turns out, Michelle tells us that: “The vast majority of the participants whose goals were weight loss and better health spent the least amount of time exercising overall—up to 32 percent less than those with other goals.”   Why?   Because the people who ACTUALLY did the things that were good for them made CONCRETE connections between what they did and how they felt.   They exercised to enhance the quality of their daily lives—to create a sense of well-being, a feeling of being energized and centered. They found a way to get *immediate* gratification out of their exercise—which is a LOT more effective than pursuing some future, abstract target.   As Michelle tells us: “Human beings, it turns out, are hardwired to choose immediate gratification over long-term benefits.”   She describes the “lose weight” and “get healthy” goals as too fuzzy and abstract and clinical and calls them the “Wrong Why.” When we lead with those Whys, our exercise becomes a chore— which then leads to a failure. Who does chores with sustained enthusiasm?!   So…   Want to give yourself the best chance at getting more Energized, Productive, and Connected by doing the things that will help you enjoy those fruits of your Heroic behaviors?   Again…   MAKE THE CONNECTION between what you do RIGHT NOW and how you feel RIGHT AFTER.   Then give yourself the gift of Heroic levels of Energy, Productivity, and Connection.   The Law of Cause and Effect.   Let's use it.   And change our lives.    TODAY.

  In his excellent book, From Killer to Common Cold: Herd Protection and the Transitional Phase of COVID-19, Dr. David Graham lays out the upcoming evolution from pandemic to endemic for SARS-CoV-2 virus. Although published months ago, the book has proven to be right on with how the virus is progressing and we now find ourselves in the transitional phase of the pandemic. The virus is transitioning from a global pandemic to one where it will live forever (until we can eradicate it) in the worldwide human population. What is the Transitional Phase of SARS-CoV-2? Dr. Graham and I have discussed the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in previous shows. We first spoke about how the pandemic will end, how it transitions to endemic, the evolution and nature of coronaviruses, and now how this entire transitional phase turns out. The discussion today recognizes that we have now definitely entered the transitional phase where the virus is starting to lose its foothold. There is now a race between the virus and uninfected individuals getting vaccinated. Once the virus moves out of this deadly phase of affecting new immune systems, it will become more benign. If we look at past coronaviruses that made the jump into humans (most recently OC43 in the late 1800s) we can guess that it will soon just become another ordinary cold for most people.   What Vaccines Will and Will Not Do One thing is fairly certain, we will not eradicate this virus any time soon. In fact, the multitude of variants in existence and the ability of other coronaviruses to evade our immune system after time will allow SARS-CoV-2 to persist forever in humans. We will continue to infect others whether or not we have the vaccine. Immunity will wane and because there is so much SARS-CoV-2, we won't be able to dodge it forever. Most adults and children will end up seeing this respiratory virus many times again in our life times. SARS-CoV-2 will become endemic and circulate in the respiratory tracts of children and adults but we will all build up natural immunity to prevent us getting anything more than a bad cold. Why is No one Talking About the Transitional Phase? Well, it turns out that scientists are starting to introduce the idea that we can't stop SARS-CoV-2. We can only hope to contain the bad effects like ICU stays, death, and hospitalizations. We have to start getting the public to recognize that COVID-19 will be around and will just be less deadly. We have to learn to deal with the virus and accept that it isn't going away. We need to start having realistic and rational discussions about the trade-offs with school reopening in the cities and beginning to regather. We need to set out realistic expectations for the presence of COVID-19 living with a very small chance of risk since we can never eliminate its presence.

The saying goes: “Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance”. This is the same idea as “weirdness points”: you can only bother people a certain amount before they go away. So if you have something important to bother them about, don’t also bother them in random ways that don’t matter. In writing about science or rationality, you already risk sounding too nerdy or out-of-touch with real life. This doesn’t matter much if you’re writing about black holes or something. But if you’re writing about social signaling, or game theory, or anything else where the failure mode is sounding like an evil robot trying to reduce all of life to numbers, you should avoid anything that makes you sound even more like that evil robot. (yes, people on the subreddit, I’m talking about you) I’m not always great at this, but I’m improving, and here’s the lowest-hanging fruit: if there are two terms for the same thing, a science term and an everyday life term, and you’re talking about everyday life, use the everyday life term. The rest of this post is just commentary on this basic idea. 1. IQ -> intelligence. Don’t use “IQ” unless you’re talking about the result of an IQ test, talking about science derived from these results, or estimating IQ at a specific number. Otherwise, say “intelligence” (as a noun) or “smart” as an adjective. Wrong: “John is a very high-IQ person” Right: “John is a very smart person”. Wrong: “What can I do if I feel like my low IQ is holding me back?” Right: “What do I do if I feel like my low intelligence is holding me back?” Acceptable: “The average IQ of a Nobel-winning physicist is 155”. Acceptable: “Because poor childhood nutrition lowers IQ, we should make sure all children have enough to eat.” 2. Humans -> people. This will instantly make you sound 20% less like an evil robot. Use “humans” only when specifically contrasting with another animal: Wrong: “I’ve been wondering why humans celebrate holidays.” Right: “I’ve been wondering why people celebrate holidays.” Acceptable: “Chimpanzees are much stronger than humans.” 3. Males -> men, females -> women. You can still use “male” and “female” as adjectives if you really want. Wrong: “Why do so many males like sports?” Right: “Why do so many men like sports?” Acceptable, I guess: “Why do male sports fans drink so much?” Use “males” and “females” as nouns only if you’re making a point that applies across animal species, trying overly hard to sound scientifically credible, or arguing some kind of complicated Gender Studies point that uses “man” and “male” differently. Acceptable: “In both rats and humans, males have higher testosterone than females.” 4. Rational -> good, best, reasonable, etc. See eg here. Use “rational” when describing adherence to a good cognitive strategy; use “good” etc for things that have good results. Wrong: “What is the most rational diet?” Right: “What is the best diet?” Wrong: “Is it rational to invest in bonds?” Right: “Is it a good idea to invest in bonds?” Acceptable: “Are more rational people more likely to succeed in politics?” (if asking whether people who follow certain cognitive rules like basing their decisions on evidence will succeed more than those who don’t. Notice that you cannot sensibly replace this with “good” or “best” – “Are better people more likely to succeed in politics?” is meaningless (unless you switch to the moral value of “better”) 5. Optimal -> best. I feel kind of hypocritical for this one because the link above says to replace “rational” with “optimal”. But if you really want to go all the way, replace “optimal” with “best”, unless you have a specific reason for preferring the longer word. Wrong: “What’s the optimal way to learn this material?” Right: “What’s the best way to learn this material?” 6. Utility -> happiness, goodness. Use utility only when talking about utilitarian philosophy. Wrong: “Will getting more exercise raise my utility?” Right: “Will getting more exercise make me better off?” Wrong: “What is the highest-utility charity?” Right: “What is the best charity?” or “Which charity helps people the most?” The same applies to “utility function”. Wrong: “My utility function contains a term for animal suffering.” Right: “I care about animal suffering.” 7. Autistic -> nerdy. Use autistic when referring to a psychiatric diagnosis or a complicated package of sensory and cognitive issues. Use “nerdy” when referring to people who are book-smart but lack social graces. Wrong: “Haha, my friends and I are so autistic, we talk about physics all the time.” Right: “Haha, my friends and I are so nerdy, we talk about physics all the time.” 8. Neoreactionary -> right-wing, far-right, reactionary. Use neoreactionary when talking specifically about the philosophy of Mencius Moldbug, if you think you’ve looked into it and understand it. If you’re just referring to far-right ideas, use far-right.

Struggle to manage change? Chris shares his process for moving resistant teams. By the end of this podcast you'll know exactly how to boost adoption for change efforts. Here are some of the frameworks Chris introduces: - People don't do what you SAY. They do what they BELIEVE. What is your process to surface and tap into their beliefs? -Stop talking and start listening! What is your process to listen? - Most of us aren't starting from "Why" the change is necessary, we start from "What" the change is or "How" it will be enacted. This is almost always the wrong starting point. - Most leaders who start from "Why" are coming from the WRONG WHY. Learn how to create a compelling "Why."
