The Aware Show

 What do the Grateful Dead and sharp business deals have in common? They seem like two completely different ideas, but our guest today, Marc Morgenstern, talks about the similarities of attending a Dead show, and making a shrewd business deal. He explains that the psychology of a successful dealmaker requires spontaneity, comfort with change and unpredictability, and enjoying the process as it presents itself. As a fan who has seen hundreds of Grateful Dead shows, he talks about how the band uses these traits to perform thousands of concerts for their fans – ultimately giving them a different and unique experience during each performance. Marc H. Morgenstern has taught Street Smart Startups at UC Berkeley. He's a veteran dealmaker and entrepreneur with billions of dollars of buying, selling, and financing innovative and disruptive businesses from Day One of OfficeMax to Co-Founding digital healthcare software company Within3. Marc is the Managing Partner and Founder of early-stage investor Blue Mesa Partners, as well as Mentor-at-Large for The House Fund at UC Berkeley and its portfolio companies. He's a longtime board member of The Rex Foundation, the non-profit founded by the Grateful Dead. His latest book is “The Soul of the Deal.” This is Part 1 of the interview.

Today Lisa continues the conversation with Dr. Bernard Beitman,  who is often called the “King of Coincidences.” He and Lisa deeply discuss coincidences and the meaning that we attribute to them. Dr Beitman is the first psychiatrist since Carl Jung to systematize the study of coincidences. His latest book is “Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen.”  Through a complete catalog of coincidence patterns with numerous illustrative examples, Dr. Beitman clarifies the relationship between synchronicity and serendipity and dissects the “anatomy of a coincidence.” He defines coincidence types through their two fundamental constituents -- mental events and physical events. He analyzes the many uses of meaningful coincidences as well as their potential challenges, emphasizing that synchronicity and serendipity, though most often positive, also have their shadow sides. Detailing how to record your experiences, he explains how you will see patterns guiding your life decisions and learn to expect that coincidences are more likely to occur during life stressors, high emotion, and strong need, which helps you be ready to use them when they occur. Dr Beitman is a graduate of Yale Medical School and he did his psychiatric residency at Stanford University. The former chair of psychiatry of the University of Missouri-Columbia medical school for 17 years, he writes a blog for “Psychology Today” on coincidence and is the coauthor of the award-winning book “Learning Psychotherapy.” He is the founder of The Coincidence Project.

Do you have a goal but are having trouble reaching it?  Today Brian walks us through his Goal Mapping process.  What’s so different about his system?  Well, where traditional goal setting techniques focus on left-brain words, only using endless repetition, Goal Mapping uses words and imagery – the language of the subconscious.
