Play Your Position

Well Team -- I've achieved a new milestone here at the Play Your Position Podcast!

Today's episode featuring the super accomplished, insightful, and hilarious Dr. Taylor Hartman marks number 500 of the show.

500 y'all! I am celebrating!

I remember thinking way back in the dark ages of early 2014 when I first started podcasting that having 50 episodes sounded impressive.

Here I am with 500 and I am proud of my work.

I am honored to have had the opportunity to converse about leadership and life with as many wonderful humans as I've had since I started.

And I'm grateful to all of you who tune in to the show each week.

I love you, Team PYP!

Are you ready for kickoff???

Let's go!

About Dr. Taylor Hartman

Through The People Code (formerly published as The Color Code) and The Character Code, Dr. Hartman provides a universal message, simple and profound: life is about relationships.

As an author, psychologist, corporate consultant and leadership coach, his life's work has centered on providing an insightful system for improving your understanding of yourself and others and strengthening your day-to-day relationships with the People Code Personality Profile.

The People Code explains the "why" behind the "what" by identifying four basic personality types and showing you how to use "color profiles" to cultivate rich and balanced character and relationships.

In today's conversation, he goes into detail about the four colors. You will walk away with a new understanding of why you do what you do and perhaps more importantly, why others do what they do!

Of all the assessments I've taken over the years (and I've taken them all), the Hartman Personality Assessment is by far the simplest to understand AND the most effective for strengthening relationships.

Most of us are approaching our health care from an outdated, average model based on data that doesn't help anyone experience exceptional health. Get ready to have your mind blown about what's possible for each of us in coming years when what Dr. Brigitte Piniewski discusses becomes standard in the healthcare system. I haven't stopped thinking about what she talks about since we recorded this episode. She is leading the charge in something truly revolutionary.

Dr. Brigitte Piniewski is a physician, ex-healthcare executive, researcher, author and angel investor who has witnessed healthcare from almost every angle. More recently, while providing investor education in the Web3 ethos, she appreciated the potential for pivotal health transformation now possible using new distributed ledger approaches. However, our Health industry would need multidisciplinary experts to update their understanding of the possibilities Web3 might enable. Thus her book, "Wealthcare: Demystifying Web3 and the Rise of Personal Data Economies" provides a starter-pack of sorts to engage diverse stakeholders to share a common vision and vocabulary. Together we should expect to design and deliver both health and wealth to our communities in perpetuity.
