I had this amazing chat with Dr. Robin Hills, who started EI for Change, and honestly, it completely shifted how I think about emotional intelligence. This guy has reached over half a million people across 200+ countries, and he's figured out something really powerful—he takes behavioral science and mixes it with gamification and storytelling to help people actually discover what they're good at and what really matters to them.

What blew me away was how he explained that emotional intelligence isn't some Western concept that doesn't translate—it's actually universal. And here's the kicker: he talks about emotions like they're data points, which sounds cold but is actually revolutionary when you think about it. Instead of just reacting when something triggers you, you can actually step back and respond thoughtfully.

The best part? Robin breaks down these simple daily habits that anyone can use. We're talking practical stuff here—whether you're managing people, building something from scratch, or just trying to handle whatever life throws at you. This conversation is loaded with real tools you can actually use to get better at reading situations and getting the results you want.
