Behavioral Insights Podcast

This is my interview with unconventional serial entrepreneur, Ameer Rosic. Ameer's behavioral type reflects about 3-4 percent of the population. There's some strong language in this one.

I think you'll really enjoy Ameer's amazing success journey, his extreme no-nonsense approach, and our candid conversation. This is a glimpse into a truly fantastic yet complex and interesting mind.

In Part 2 of the Waking Up series, I discuss a few key principles in the life of Moses that we can learn from. I hope you enjoy some of the behavioral nuggets I've chosen out of this ancient Hebrew tale, but more importantly, you apply them in your own life.

In this "Waking Up" series, I introduce some simple yet profound patterns and principles for attaining your best place in the world. This is the first of possibly six or so episodes containing simple "stories" from the Tanakh, the Torah, and the Gospels that hold some elementary yet profound principles for finding your sweet spot.

How much of our personal sacrificing is a true sacrificial act? Most people's sense of sacrifice is distorted. In this episode, I talk about psychological egoism and altruism and how they really work.

There are 3 types of control. You are either in control, out of control, or under control. Too much of anything is a problem and a challenge.

What is your concept of self? Did you come up with it or did someone else? And if someone else came up with it, where's yours?

What do you feel when you hear that someone is controlling? This may be an indication as to where you are personally on the Power Value scale. Control is about positing our own value system on another either as a permanent or transitory motive. Power and control lacks all service and sacrificial motive. 

Are you committed to your organization? Are you committed to the people in it? Really? Are you sure? Are you sure you don't have a secret competing commitment to your own fears? Find out here.
