We're taking a break from our Jordan Peterson series to explore a topical book Timothy's reading as part of his new job. "Inspired" By Marty Cagan explores how top tech companies create products that are actually used, and how  product leaders should adopt a CEO mindset to create features tied to specific outcomes. Unleash the potential of your team members by defining the goal, but allowing autonomy in the journey. 

We recorded this bonus episode a few months ago in preparation of the holidays and taking a break from our regular recording schedule. It's a bit techy but can still apply to anyone in marketing, people management or even if you're just interested in how big tech companies work.  Enjoy!

“I could be cured of my unhappiness if I could just fulfill my ambition” with a quote like this you know this chapter will be a good listen!

We dive into Jordan Peterson’s 4th rule: “Compare Yourself To Who You Were Yesterday, Not To Who Someone Else Is Today” and learn why we have the internal self critic who always tells us whether we’re “good enough.” 

Yes, measuring progress is a good thing and setting goals and aiming for greatness is a mechanism for growth but often we find ourselves unfairly comparing ourselves against an unattainable status in the short term, which leads to difficulty making the incremental steps towards growth. 

Get to know yourself, learn how to make small growth improvements, begin your journey upwards - enjoy!

Does the individual have any power over their circumstances or does  everything terrible just happen on its own?? In rule #3 of Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules For Life, Peterson explores how the company you keep is infectious and how not everyone actually desires the hard path: the upward path.  Join Houston & Timothy as we explore this controversial subject of why bad things continually happen to people who make poor choices, whether they can do anything to help it, and the consequences of keeping these people in your life.

The lens through which you view yourself impacts your daily actions towards order or chaos. In this deep chapter we explore Jordan Peterson’s arguments of objective reality. Join Houston & Tim as we discuss deep issues concerning why we struggle to take care of ourselves as well as we take care of others. We discuss topics that cause us to view ourselves against our ideals and why we struggle to act like we’re someone worthy to take care of.

Longest episode to date, but likely the most important episode we’ve done. Enjoy!

Join us as we tackle our hardest chapter yet discussing the reality of the world we live in and how our self perception effects our future outcomes for success. Jordan Peterson unpacks the dominance hierarchies and how certain actions and mindsets produce either positive or negative feedback loops which impacts the biochemistry of your brain. This in turn produces social interactions which either increase or decrease your social capital.

 Super deep stuff - our favorite episode to date. Enjoy!

The final installment of 'Who Not How' by Dan Sullivan. We discuss how collaboration gives you a bigger sense of purpose. Many people feel isolated in their goals because they are asking how they can accomplish big things instead of who can help them accomplish it. Collaboration can lead to not only accomplishing your goals faster but also realizing what those goals can be and achieving them in ways previously unknown to you.

In this episode we discuss how having gratitude and asking the question “How can I add value to others” can attract the right “whos” into your life. 

Attracting the right people in your life leads to collaboration and collaboration sometimes can lead towards vulnerability. Vulnerability can leads towards having people in your life who genuinely care about you and your goals. 

It’s a deep episode but good… hear some personal stories from Houston & dive into some of the psychological benefits of being honest with yourself and others about where you’re currently at.

Procrastination can impact more than your productivity… but is it also demonstration of wisdom? We’re exploring the first part of Dan Sullivan’s book “Who Not How” as he explains his strategies for recruiting people to aid in your goals. If you can begin asking “Who can help me accomplish this” instead of “How can I accomplish this” you’ll unlock a new level of productivity that can kill procrastination once and for all.
