Who:   John Baker - Former COO of American Express and Author of The Asking Formula

What We Talked About:  It’s Throwback Thursday!  Listen to this classic interview where I talked to John Baker about “asking.”  Did you know that the part of the brain that is stimulated when we hear the word, “no”, is the same part of the brain that is stimulated when we put our hand on a hot stove?  Is it any wonder why we just don’t ASK?  In this interview, John reveals the steps to becoming a better at this vital marketing skill.

Why I Like John:  He makes sense.  John has done the studying.  He has the experience.  He’s written the book.  This guy has credibility with a capital C.  And he explains how to ask in such a relaxed, laid back manner, that by the time he’s done, you actually feel like like it would be easy to ask for what you want more often … and get it.

Great Line:  I have found that most people respect that you’re saving their time, you’re saving their energy, by getting to the point of what you want, so they can get to the point of whether they can help you or not.

Who:  Dana Wilde - Author of Train Your Brain and Host of The Mind Aware Show

What This Show is About:  Dana airs LIVE in front of a dial-in audience. This week we have someone write in and ask, “How can I get past the petty I’m-right-you’re-wrong arguments with my mate?” Dana Wilde Rants! After so many requests for an “ask Dana” episode, we’ve decided to offer this as a regular feature. Dana takes questions from our audience members and answers those questions by helping the listener “tell a new story.” Each of us has a Reticular Activating System (RAS) in our brain that spends all day every day listening to what we’re thinking about and what we’re talking about. Next the RAS notices in the outside world the situations that match those thoughts and stories. This is why if you want to change your outside world, you have to start with the inside story.
