Inner Propaganda with Owen Fitzpatrick

In this two-part episode of Changing Minds, I will dive into the intriguing world of decision-making. Making prudent choices is an essential skill that profoundly shapes the trajectory of our lives. 

It’s imperative to comprehend the diverse approaches and factors that influence the decision-making process. Exploring various decision-making styles, including autocratic, democratic, consensus, and consultative, to understand the contexts in which each style is most suitable to enhance your decision-making capabilities.

I’ll delve into the significance of assessing long-term benefits, questioning assumptions, and steering clear of cognitive biases. These aspects play a pivotal role in ensuring decisions are well-informed and well-balanced.

Moreover, I'll explore the psychological principles that exert influence over decision-making. Recognizing how the role of reasoning, judgment, and effective communication can empower you to make wiser choices in both personal and professional spheres.

Jess Pettitt, M.Ed., CSP, has always had a foot in two different approaches to her life. Perhaps it is her Texas roots, but she believes to thrive in this world you have to ride two horses at once – one of humility and one of ego. This is why while hosting and performing stand-up in NYC she also worked as a diversity and inclusion specialist as a day job. She quit her day job after a decade and almost 20 years later still uses humor to deliver actionable content related to everything you ever wanted to know about where leadership and diversity collide but are afraid to ask. Though often referred to as a thought leader, Jess responds that she just makes leaders think. For Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work to stick, the first step is a conversation that matters about what you don’t know you don’t know then you can do the best you can with what you have some of the time without getting sued, losing talent, or failing customers.

In this episode of Changing Minds, I explore the intriguing concept of how storytelling influences our beliefs and identity. I discuss the critical aspect of acknowledging the narratives we craft for ourselves, along with addressing those limiting identities that could potentially obstruct our growth. I discuss the process of transformation and the significant difference when one identifies themselves as a victim, a villain, an extra, or a hero, and how such self-perception can shape our capability to surmount challenges. Furthermore, I examine the power of categorization and the problems that happen with it, in the narratives we share.

On this episode of Changing Minds, I interview Adam Ashton, co-host of the podcast "What You Will Learn." We talk about the book he co-authored with Adam Jones, "The Shit They Never Taught You," and their new book, "Attitude." 

Life is unpredictable and full of things we can’t control.

The only thing we can truly have power over is our attitude. 

We don’t always have a choice in what happens to us, but we always get to choose how we respond. Adam and Adam have extracted the most valuable insights about attitude from some of the greatest minds on the topic and distilled them into five simple lessons: Vision, Change, Learning, Fear, and Boldness.
