Happiness, Success, Integrity, Accountability, Intentionality
Summary
What does it really take … to be happy? We’ll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, international franchisor Sarah Nuse will share wisdom from her fantastic book, Destined for Greatness. That and more on today’s show.
Bob’s Thought of the Day
We’ll explore:
The idea that the pursuit of happiness is part of our human nature. That acting incongruently with your values makes it nearly impossible to be happy. A converse truth: when you’re willing to stand on principle—even turning down a business opportunity others think you’re crazy to refuse—you WILL be happier. Knowing that much more often than not, staying true to your principles will not be self-sacrificial but rather the best business AND financial move you could make.Interview with Sarah Nuse
You’ll discover:
The fascinating story of how needing to earn some extra cash in college would lead to an international business career. And how desperation can catapult you to greatness. The power (and necessity) of doing the uncomfortable when building a business. Sarah and her sister, Megan’s Shark Tank appearance...and the intrigue that transpired. The importance of aligning your business with who you are and who you want to be. Details about Sarah’s Destined for Greatness Accountability Program. How accountability and intentionality can help you accomplish your dreams, expand your goals, and deepen your relationships.Click to Tweet

The challenge of communicating effectively on Twitter can actually help us to be better communicators. We’ll look at that in our Thought of the Day. Then in the second segment, we’ll look at a few powerful tweets and then expound on them a bit in order to attain an even deeper understanding. That and more on today’s show.
Bob’s Thought of the Day
We’ll explore:
Why Twitter can be a hotbed for misunderstanding, hurt feelings, and an insult or two. The importance of caring enough to ask ourselves how what we are about to say (and how we are about to say it) will likely be interpreted by the other person. Why we must train ourselves to communicate in a way that works for everyone involved.Segment 2
You’ll discover several timeless, wisdom-filled quotes and why they are so powerful:
"Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you." –Ruth Bader Ginsburg, former United States Supreme Court Justice "Excellence is not an ‘aspiration.' Excellence is not a 'hill to climb.' Excellence is the next five minutes. Or it is nothing at all.” –Tom Peters, author of The Excellence Dividend "The older I grow the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment." –Benjamin Franklin, inventor, printer, and United States diplomat

Charisma, Relationships, Success, Business, Questions
Summary
The key to “having charisma” might just be exactly the opposite of what we think it is. We’ll look at that in our Thought of the Day. Then in the second segment, I’ll share a suggestion on how to accomplish it. That and more on today’s show.
Bob’s Thought of the Day
We’ll explore:
Two traditional definitions of “charisma,” along with another...that I like best. Why it’s not sustainable to base your success on natural charisma alone. An example from 19th-century England about the power of the right type of charisma. Why listening is a critical element of charisma. A powerful quote from Adam Grant’s new book, Think Again. The big lesson: Your level of charisma is not about you but about how you make others feel about themselves.Segment #2
You’ll discover:
The value of Feel-Good Questions in making others feel genuinely good about themselves and, as a result, about you. The One Key Question that’ll set you apart from practically everyone they’ve ever met. F-O-R-M Questions that will always be welcomed by those you’re speaking with.

Change, Values, Purpose, Leadership, Movements
Summary
What does it take to create and sustain transformational change? We’ll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, we’ll have a discussion with the author of a magnificent book on that very topic. That and more on today’s show.
Bob’s Thought of the Day
We’ll explore:
Why we must never stop looking for ways to better the world. What it takes to do so: creating a plan, executing that plan, and implementing the correct strategies and tactics.Interview with Greg Satell
You’ll discover:
Lessons about creating transformational change from two movements: one that failed (Occupy Wall St.), and one that succeeded (Otpor). The importance of using humor to dispel tension. Why you must reach out to those outside your movement, and welcome those who wish to join you. A key for creating impact: small groups loosely connected, united by a shared purpose. That violence doesn’t work in terms of winning over the masses.. What we can learn from two of the most notable transformational changes in modern history, Mahatma Gandhi’s leading of the Indian independence movement, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s leading of the civil rights movement. The immense, game-changing importance of communicating shared values.10 Principles for Transformational Change
Revolutions don’t begin with a slogan. They begin with a cause. The vision always needs to be rooted in solving problems people genuinely care about. That’s why you can’t bribe or coerce change. Once you start trying to engineer change through incentives, you are signaling that this is a change that people don’t really want to make. Transformation fails because people oppose it, not because people don’t understand it. For any significant change, there are going to be some people who aren’t going to like it and they are going to undermine it in ways that are dishonest, underhanded, and deceptive. That is your primary design constraint. Change of any kind threatens the status quo, which never yields its power gracefully. Be explicit about your values. Values represent constraints and constraints bring meaning and credibility. A movement without values is nothing more than a mob. Resist the urge to engage those who attack and undermine you. In fact, as a general rule, you should avoid them until you have gained significant momentum. It will only frustrate you and slow you down. Focus on building local majorities. You want to be continually expanding your majorities within communities and clusters. When you go outside your majority, however, you get pushback. Stay on the inside pushing out. Shift from differentiating values to shared values. Differentiating values are what make people passionate about an idea, but shared values create entry points for people to join your cause. You overcome your opposition by listening and identifying shared values in what they say that can be leveraged to attract others to your cause. Mobilize people to influence institutions. Every action has a purpose. You are always mobilizing someone to influence something. For everything you do, you ask who are we mobilizing and to influence what? Scale change through empowerment. Instead of trying to get people to do what you want, find people who want what you want and give them resources to help them take action. It is through taking action, not taking orders, that people take ownership of the movement and make it their own. Survive victory. The victory phase is the most dangerous phase. You need to think about how to “survive victory” from the start. It’s not enough to make a point, you have to want to make a difference. Transformation is always a journey, never a particular destination. The most important thing you can do to bring change about is simply to get started. If not now, when? If not you, who?

Bob’s Thought of the Day
We’ll explore:

Ethics, Relationships, Business, Morality, Decisions
Summary
Deep within our hearts, we always know what the right thing to do is, don’t we? Or do we? We’ll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, Rabbi Yonason Goldson joins us with some ancient wisdom that will help us to navigate through those often gray areas that life sets before us. That and more on today’s show.
Bob’s Thought of the Day
We’ll explore:
Some examples of what are known as “moral dilemmas.” An example of an ethical dilemma from the book, Grappling with the Gray.Interview with Rabbi Yonason Goldson
You’ll discover:
Why it’s not always about knowing what the right thing to do is. The purpose of study: to learn how to think in an ethical way. The difference between the ethical and the legal.

Why relationships are the bedrock of success in every aspect of our lives.Click to Tweet
“There’s no app for being ethical.”~ @yonasongoldson #ethics “It’s not a question of always knowing what the right thing to do is. It’s knowing how to approach complex situations and do the best we can to get to the most equitable and ethical resolution.”~ @yonasongoldson #ethics “Legal is not necessarily the same as ethical. The last refuge of unethical is … ’But it’s not illegal.’”~ @yonasongoldson #ethicsInterview Links

And in our interview segment, Likky Lavji helps us cut right through those blind spots that keep us from realizing those uncomfortable but important-to-know weaknesses. That and more on today’s show.

We’ll explore:

Confirmation Bias, Thinking, Decisions, Emotions, Beliefs
Summary
Imagine a world where we only accept as truth that which we already believe and ignore whatever we don’t. Actually, you need not imagine it. It’s … what we do. We’ll look at that in our Thought of the Day. Then in the second segment, we’ll see what we can do about lessening its effect on us. That and more on today’s show.
Bob’s Thought of the Day
We’ll explore:
A reminder about cognitive dissonance, which we discussed in Episode 133: it is one of the most negatively powerful ways a person will unconsciously allow their emotions to keep them from making a correct decision or a necessary change. A definition of confirmation bias: “The tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one’s preexisting beliefs or hypotheses.” Daniel Goleman’s powerful quote, from his book Emotional Intelligence: “The emotional mind takes its beliefs to be absolutely true, and so discounts any evidence to the contrary.” An example of confirmation bias from a conversation I recently had on Twitter.SEGMENT #2
We’ll explore:
Why people who are suffering from confirmation bias... don’t realize they are doing so. The importance of continually asking yourself--especially the more strongly and passionately you feel about a thing--if you might be experiencing confirmation bias. A recent interaction when I realized I had confirmation bias.Click to Tweet
How does confirmation bias dramatically hold us back from clear decision-making? Find out in this episode of The Go-Giver Podcast. #confirmationbias The degree to which one suffers from cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias is directly proportional to the emotional investment they have in their current belief. #confirmationbias Stay aware of the possibility that confirmation bias might be running through your thought process, and ultimately, your decision-making process. #decisions When it comes to confirmation bias, the most important thing we can do is to continually stop our unconscious thinking and ask ourselves questions. #thinkingResources

Bob’s Thought of the Day
We’ll explore:

Summary
While it’s important to know the definition of influence, it’s even more important to understand its “essence.” We’ll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, one of the titans of leadership over the last 35 years of the 20th century--and the author of a fantastic new book--will guide us with some absolute gems of wisdom. That and more on today’s show.

We’ll explore:
The difference between pushing and pulling in leadership. A powerful reminder from Dale Carnegie’s classic, How to Win Friends and Influence People: “Ultimately, people do things for THEIR reasons, not OUR reasons.” Why your influence is dependent upon how abundantly you can actually focus not on your own interests, but rather on the interests of those you’re wanting to lead.Interview with Robert Rosenberg

A critical leadership lesson: running a business is just as much a social entity as a commercial one--maybe more so. The importance of communication and defining terms correctly. How Robert helped franchisees understand how remodeling their stores could be a great return on investment. The story behind Dunkin’ Donuts Munchins.Click to Tweet
