Pathological Positivity

For this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul is joined by The Change Energizer himself – Scott Carley. Some highlights from this conversation… 1. You have a Trust Credit Score and it’s based on the behaviors people see repeated in your life. 2. YOU are scoring people based on their behavior and it impacts how much you trust them. When trust is high, the speed of cooperation is fast. When trust is low, the speed of cooperation grinds to a crawl. 3. Just like your FICA Credit Score, you can change specific behaviors to raise a fractured credit score and enjoy the benefits.

The last part of 2024 and the first part of 2025 found me reading “Tribe of Mentors” by Tim Ferris. This has been a favorite find of mine for the new year, as Tim brings together mentors who have influenced him and made a mark on the world. He poses 11 questions and they get to choose which ones they want to answer – brilliant! In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, I (Dr. Paul Jenkins) share how I would answer all eleven of Tim’s questions currently (the answers might change from time to time). Get the book – it is well worth it!
