    Ep. 63: Why We Make Bad Decisions (with Daniel Steere)

    Ep. 63: Why We Make Bad Decisions (with Daniel Steere)

    In this episode, I put my old friend on the spot and asked him to talk about his bad decisions--and why we make them. As an executive coach, he has a lot of experience identifying when a decision is likely to be bad and helping people choose better options. For the record, this conversation didn't go where I expected!

    Ep. 62: It's a New Name and New Life Vision With the Same Theme

    Ep. 62:  It's a New Name and New Life Vision With the Same Theme

    My life vision updated recently. It's not a big change in direction; it's a better way of saying what I've been trying to do for a long time. And this new life vision statement led me to a new name for the podcast. In this episode, I explain what it is, and why I made the change. (FYI, Steve Jobs and Elon Musk are a big part of the new vision--but probably not in the way you think!)

    Ep. 60: Book I Recommend -- Make No Small Plans: Lessons on Thinking Big, Chasing Dreams, and Building Community

    I read a lot of books (200+ each year), and I'm often asked for recommendations. Out of the many books from last year, there were 12 non-fiction books that I gave a 5 star rating. In this episode, I spend a couple of minutes explaining why I loved one of these 12 books in particular.


    This book is especially useful if you're working on your life plans like I am. Don't underestimate what's possible!

    I read a lot of books (200+ each year), and I'm often asked for recommendations. Out of the many books I read last year, I didn't just read non-fiction. There were actually 11 fiction books that I gave a 5-star rating. These books are not only thrilling, but give a captivating look into the human experience. In this episode, I spend a couple of minutes explaining why I loved one of these 11 fiction books in particular.

    Ep. 56: Keeping Up With a Fast-Growing Company (with Howard Behar, Retired President of Starbucks)

    Ep. 56: Keeping Up With a Fast-Growing Company (with Howard Behar, Retired President of Starbucks)

    Howard Behar came to Starbucks when it was just 28 stores, and retired 21 years later as President of Starbucks North America and founding President of Starbucks International. Not only did the company grow a lot during that time, he had to grow in order to keep up with it. And he had to grow even more after retiring.

    Ep. 55: The Twin Pillars of Self-Awareness (Part 2 - Outside Feedback)

    Ep. 55: The Twin Pillars of Self-Awareness (Part 2 - Outside Feedback)

    One of the most fundamental upgrade engines, certainly one of the first in sequence, is self-awareness. Improve this and you improve every other engine. In the second part of this two part series, I share about how I use outside feedback to balance and direct my self-assessment. It's not one or the other, it's both. Beware the Dunning-Kruger Effect!
