Have you ever played the Dinner Party Game? It's a game where you create a guest list and invite anyone to dinner, and they must come. For most of us, that's just a fun idea.  However, by the time he'd reached his late twenties, Jon Levy was struggling. His start-up had failed, and he was grappling with the financial crash of 2008. Jon knew he wanted to make a difference in the world but didn't know how. So, he hosted a dinner party and invited 12 strangers to cook for him.    From those humble beginnings, the "Influencers Dinner" was born – a network now comprising thousands of people, including Nobel laureates, Olympic champions, and award-winning musicians.   Jon Levy's first book, The 2 AM Principle: Discover the Science of Adventure, was released in 2016. However, in 2018, Jon Levy did a TED presentation titled: What makes us influential?  That presentation birthed behavioral scientist Jon Levy onto the world stage. His Second book, "You're Invited:" The Art and Science of Connection, Trust, and Belonging, has become a New York Times & WSJ Bestseller.    Today, we all live in a post-pandemic world where most people work from home at least part of the time. Yet, as we have more time to be with who we love, we're also dealing with a global epidemic of loneliness. So, what can we do to bring Connection, Trust, and Belonging back?    Website https://www.jonlevy.com   Social Media https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonlevytlb https://www.instagram.com/jonlevytlb/?hl=en https://twitter.com/JonLevyTLB Part 1.

On this week's podcast, I'm interviewing Jon Levy, who is a behavioural scientist and New York Times best selling author known for his work in trust, human connection, belonging and influence. Jon specialises in applying the latest research on how humans behave and make decisions to transform the ways companies approach building brands, culture and overall strategy. But more than a decade ago, Jon founded the Influencers Dinner, a secret dining experience that brought together industry leaders and actually encouraged them to make their own DNA so they would arrive, be given the food and they'd all have to work together to actually make the experience. It has had a phenomenal impact. For the last two years, Jon has hosted thousands of the most brilliant brains in the world and brought them together to talk about how they can solve world problems. John's second book, You're Invited: The Art and Science of Connection, Trust and Belonging was released in 2021, and it shared his secrets and observations of all the things that he's learned. Unsurprisingly, it became an instant New York Times best seller. I met Jon recently in Sweden at a work conference and became fascinated by him, his work and just a general perspective on the world and I'm thrilled he's joined me on the podcast today.

Is our behavior truly our own? Or do our choices grow out of our environment? There are influences all around each of us, and often the walking talking version of influencers ends up shaping the behavior of the people around them in ways that are not always visible.Jon Levy is a behavior scientist and the founder of the Influencers Dinner. He is also an author. His latest book is called You're Invited: The Art and Science of Connection, Trust, and Belonging, and his previous work is titled The 2 AM Principle: Discover the Science of Adventure. Through the use of models, Jon has studied the science of influence and in what ways to both change what influences are affecting you, and how to use influences to affect a change in your behaviors.Jon and Greg discuss Jon's work, how to level yourself up by surrounding yourself with the right people, how people become friends, and the surprising camaraderie that happens when you ask strangers to work and make food together. Jon also examines how behavior can become contagious, and the surprising reasons why you might not want your child to grow up to be an Olympian.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Adventure is a way to build a muscle for social skills09:38: Adventure is a fantastic process to live an interesting, exciting, potentially creative life. It's a fantastic way to bond with people that you adventure with, and more importantly, it is an incredible way to build the muscle of social skills and tolerance for discomfort, and social discomfort.

“I don't want fans, I want friends.” This is one of many approaches to relationship-building that I admire in this week's guest, super-connector Jon Levy. I learned that when Jon texts with “free for dinner tonight?” you cancel all plans and say YES. Both times I did, I ended up at one of his influencer dinners with famous actors, public figures, pro athletes, and C-suite executives.  Jon's secret? Designing experiences to facilitate a shared sense of awe, connection, and accomplishment—with job titles revealed only at the end of the evening. Today we're talking about these principles and more behind his bestselling book, You're Invited: The Art and Science of Cultivating Influence. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! This episode originally aired on July 24, 2022. More about Jon: Jon Levy is a behavioral scientist and New York Times bestselling author known for his work in trust, human connection, belonging, and influence. More than a decade ago, Jon founded The Influencers Dinner, a secret dining experience for industry leaders ranging from Nobel laureates, Olympians, celebrities, and executives, to artists and musicians. Guests cook dinner together, but can't discuss their career or give their last name, and once seated to eat, they reveal who they are. Over time, these dinners developed into a community. With thousands of members, Influencers is the largest community of its type worldwide.

How influential is your personal network?You know I love a multi-layered question and this one comes in two parts.Firstly, how well does your current network, the current galaxy of people you orbit around (and who orbit around you) reflect the habits, influence, achievements you want to create?Secondly – and here's where it gets interesting – how much of an impact does your current network have on you and those around you. Including people who will never meet?If there's one thing that most researchers agree upon it's this: your level of influence is in direct correlation to who you are connected to.Which is fine as a base line, however dig under the surface and it raises more questions than it answers. How big does that network need to be? Who needs to be in it and – in a day and age where we all collect more connections than we know what to do with – what does connection even mean?When I started diving into these questions, they all pointed me in one direction.Today's Guest Jon Levy is a social researcher, best selling author, TED talker and (probably best known) founder of the Influencers Dinner—an exclusive dining experience created in 2009, which brings industry leaders ranging from Nobel laureates to Olympians, Emmy award winners, musician, politician and even members of the royal family - to celebrities together to cook and share a meal. In his words…Levy shares his approach to making connections in his new best selling book, You're Invited: The Art and Science of Cultivating Influence. The book breaks down his “Influence Equation”—how to build belonging and trust to create a high impact community. Instagram and Twitter: @JonLevyTLBYou'll LearnWhy influence and behavior is contagious – including the influence our network has on everything from our results to our longevity..How the rituals within our communities and families become the cornerstones we orbit around - and the importance of consciously creating them..Finally, why everyone, especially those at the top of their game, feel like they don't fit in – and how to create spaces for deep and powerful connections.References and links mentionedJon's NY Times bestseller You're Invited: The Art & Science of Connection, Trust, and BelongingJon's TED TalkThanks for tuning into this week's episode of the Inside Influence Podcast!

Today, we sit down with the incredibly insightful Jon Levy! Jon is a behavioral scientist and social engineer best known for his work on human connection and decision making. Jon is the founder of the Influencers Dinner, a secret dining experience started in New York in 2009. Twelve thought leaders, tastemakers, and influencers from various industries attend, but do not discuss their professional career, or share their last name - in order to guess, at the end of the dinner, what the other attendees do professionally. What started as an experiment has turned into a world class experience that brings guests from a broad spectrum of fields together to share insights, camaraderie, and a great meal. In addition to being a TED speaker, Jon also has a new book: You're Invited: The Art and Science of Cultivating Influence.   We start today's conversation with a discussion about the way humans, as a whole, possess a desire to experience something different and unique. Jon explains a bit about the SN/VTA part of the brain, which governs reward cognition, associative learning, and positively-valenced emotions. The SN/VTA engages during unusual experiences, and that response can be used to inspire curiosity and get an audience to authentically engage with your ideas. Behavioral science for the win!   The traditional methods for networking have become stagnant and overblown. People "turn off" when they're bored, so how can we create a stronger connection? Jon shares tips about bringing people together for a mutual, unique experience, and how that can create relationships that are stronger than plain ol' humdrum networking.   John talks about the enigmas of connection, and helps thought leaders understand why people do the things we do. This is a great lesson on how to tap into those responses by using a little bit of social engineering! Don't miss it!     Three Key Takeaways: Thought Leaders can create more interest in their products and ideas by adding a little uniqueness and novelty; raising people's curiosity makes them engage more fully. When designing Thought Leadership courses, think about the frequency of communication, not just the depth of ideas. Trust is a must-have in Thought Leadership, but to gain trust you must be willing to show a level of vulnerability.

You're Invited: The Art and Science of Cultivating Influence by Jon Levy Regardless of what you want to accomplish, from growing your business, creating a great company culture, championing a social cause, or affecting your habits, you can’t do it alone. The people around you define your success (whatever that means for you) and they have the potential to change the course of your life. That’s what You’re Invited is about: The most universal strategy for success is creating meaningful connections with those who can impact you, your life, and the things you care about. But how do you make those connections and build trust quickly? What do you do if you’re introverted or hate networking? Behavioral scientist Jon Levy had no money, reputation or status, but was able to convince groups of Nobel Laureates, Olympians, celebrities, Fortune 500 executives, and even an occasional princess to not only give him advice, but cook him dinner, wash his dishes, sweep his floors, and then thank him for the experience. The goal of his gatherings, much like this book, was not networking, but building meaningful and lasting relationships. This private community based around the dinner experience became known as “The Influencers,” named for the member’s success and industry influence. Since its inception more than a decade ago, The Influencers has grown into the largest private group of its kind worldwide, with a thriving community both in person and through digital experiences. In You’re Invited, Levy guides readers through the art and science of creating deep and meaningful connections with anyone, regardless of their stature or celebrity, and demonstrates how we develop influence, gain trust, and build community so that we can impact our communities and achieve what’s important to us.

In this episode, I have him on again to talk about his new book, You're Invited: The Art & Science of Cultivating Influence. We talked about what's the real meaning of being an Influencer? It's not about having a million followers on TikTok, Instagram, or whatever social media platform. Also, why does he set out to organize all this amazing dinner party that features famous people, and why does he like connect people? Listen and find out!

Today I talked to Jon Levy about his new book You're Invited: The Art and Science of Cultivating Influence (Harper Business, 2021). Jon Levy is a behavioral scientist who over a decade ago founded The Influencer Dinner, a secret dining experience for industry leaders. He's the author of The 2 AM Principle: Discover the Science of Adventure and has also served as a consultant on influence, connectivity and decision making for companies looking to transform how they do business. This episode starts with discussing Jon's idea of launching dinners where famous people would come together to cook a meal, talk, and clean up afterwards. It grew from there to covering why connectivity is so important, and what can make an event compelling: generosity, novelty, (good) curation, and the ability to create a sense of awe. Without pushing oneself, in other words, the event can't by definition be remarkable. Another insight is what Jon calls the IKEA Effect; just as putting your own furniture together makes you commit more to it, so likewise does an event benefit by having people come together in an activity or activities where they feel engaged and hence have a greater sense of belonging.

Today we sit down with the one and only, Jon Levy, behavioral scientist and author of “You're Invited: The Art and Science of Cultivating Influence”. In this episode, we discuss the SOAR Model, how to engage influential people and the three different types of networker. Jon shares the results of years of research from his various different studies of human behaviour… he touches upon the results of a study of 431 matches from the dating app Hinge, why you are 45% more likely to be obese if you have an obese friend and why the shortcut to changing your behaviour is to simply get around those with the behaviour your strive for. Check out the full episode to learn more about how you… can have more influence over influential people. Who is this episode for? People that want more influence 3 key takeaways: 1. Model for creating a sense of belonging and community: Generosity - give without expectation of return Novelty - unique & make sure you enjoy the activity Curation - diverse, unique backgrounds with zero competition - humbling - sense of accomplishment “Aha” moment - breakthrough moment to change opinion or experience 2. Steps to transitioning from novelty to belonging Discovery - people hear about you (Novelty gets people in the door) Engagement - people show up and interact Membership - gives feeling of belonging and creates true community 3. What makes for an effective invitation and experience: The Ikea Effect - People want to assemble it, earn it themselves, or feel like they're adding value. Information Gap - this gap between your knowledge and what you're being presented with sparks curiosity and intrigue into attending the event/experience. Provide connection and a sense of influence Notable Quotes: “So initially it wasn't even about becoming more influential. That was kind of an end result. For me, it was just about like, how do I get out of debt? How do I lose weight? How do I like meet somebody? I really like, and hold on to that relationship rather than break up after a few weeks. And I figured that the answer was with people... not with just another self-help book title, or I don't know, another personal development course.” “Let's look at Davos, right? Davos is that event where world leaders come together, there is nothing novel about that experience. It is the same old same design, same old experiences, but when you're standing in the snow with Bill Gates and Angela Merkel, that curation is good enough, right?” Rapid fire question answers: 1. What's your favorite book to recommend to others? The Little Prince 2. Who's an up and coming community builder you think is going to do big things? Tina Roth Eisenberg 3. What's your wildest community story? Guessing what people do and she asked if she was a lifesaver - that ended up being the women who saved her life when she was dying of cancer - her song came in the radio and brought her back 4. What's your go-to community engagement starter? A catalyst question. Ex: ‘If you could break any Guinness book of world record, which would it be?' OR ‘When was the last time you acknowledged yourself for being proud of yourself, like you actually said, or thought, ‘I'm really proud of myself' and what was it for?' 5. Who is someone or a few people that you'd like to invite to one of your dinners that you haven't reached yet? Peter Cullen, the voice of optimus prime from transformers; Michelle Obama; Oprah; or Richard Branson. 6. What's a community building technology or app that more people should be using? recommendations are one use a news feature - set follow-ups with people that you like for three months later to send them a note that you're thinking of them and you're a big fan. 7. Weirdest community you've been a part of? Cutco Cutlery - schedule appointments with people to sell them knives. 8. If you're on your death bed and you could only leave one piece of life advice behind for all the future generations, what would that advice be? The greatest predictor of anything we care about is who we're connected to, how much they trust us, and the sense of belonging that we share.
