The Wealthy Momentum Podcast with Jimmy Nicholas and Dr. Dustin Burleson

In this episode, Dustin talks with James White about his book, Anti-Racist Leadership: How to Transform Corporate Culture in a Race-Conscious World.

You'll discover how building anti-racist leadership is more than just “the right thing to do” – it contributes positively to successful operations and a strong bottom line. James and I discuss why "cultural fit" is often misunderstood and misused to allow perpetuation of an elite, privileged in-group and leave out minorities who may be equally qualified. James shares why DEI is not a zero-sum game and why the very nature of how we run our companies, and of capitalism itself, is changing, offering listeners a rare look into how to meet this demand for change successfully.

James White asks all of the hard questions – and at the same time, delivers answers. Listeners will appreciate practical solutions to achieving their diversity and inclusion goals in one of the best leadership books I’ve ever read.

In this episode, Dustin talks with Ayelet Fishbach about her book, Get it Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation. You'll discover how to stay motivated, the power of changing our circumstances and the four ingredients for successful behavior change.

Dr. Fishbach cautions we should only set goals after carefully considering whether they're right for us. We talk about targets, why we should use them, why they work and how we can set up effective targets for ourselves and our employees. Ayelet dispels some of the myths about incentives, the difficulties of rewarding certain types of creative work and how to know when we should remove certain incentives or if incentives might actually become harmful to our motivation.

Listeners will hear evidence-based strategies regarding intrinsic motivation and how to make the path to our goals more enjoyable and exciting. Finally, we discuss how ambition impacts the way we monitor our progress towards a powerful goal and how committed we remain to achieving it.

In this episode, Dustin talks with Roger Martin about his book, A New Way to Think: Your Guide to Superior Management Effectiveness.

You'll discover how many of the dominant models of management fail leaders time and again. Roger and I discuss why it is so hard to toss out the old ways of thinking. Roger shares why the dominant model of thinking about competition is flawed and a new, better way to think about this.

Roger says, “The dominant model where leaders must make data-based decisions is flat-out wrong.” He provides a much more sustainable way to think about the future and our roles as leaders. We talk about culture, retaining top talent and why most mergers and acquisitions fail. Roger provides an inspiring way to think as a business leader and I’m so excited to share this episode of The Burleson Box Podcast with you. Let’s dig in!

In this episode, Dustin talks with Jon Gordon about his book, The Energy Bus: 10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work, and Team with Positive Energy.

You'll discover how to reclaim the driver’s seat of your life and inspire others to support your journey. Jon Gordon explains why we must support our employees by listening to them, showing empathy, and commending their work. He shares the E + P = O formula with readers, which means energy plus perception equals outcome. This is similar to the Stoic principle of amor fati, which means to love your fate, no matter what it brings.

Jon reminds readers you can’t control everything that happens, but you can control what you believe about what happens. If you focus on gratitude, solving problems, and learning new things, you’ll always come out on top. Finally, you’ll discover why humans sense enthusiasm from a distance and how to get people on your bus and motivate them as you travel through life.

In this episode, Dustin talks with Ethan Kross about his book, Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It.

You'll discover how introspection can be both good and bad, why living in the present runs counter to our biology, and how our inner voice can lead to chatter precisely when we need it most.

Dr. Kross explains how working memory is connected to the inner voice and how powerful and influential our inner voice can be. He invites listeners to consider how our inner voice influences attention and sets us up for analysis paralysis. You'll discover how our inner voice influences gene expression, why it's important to zoom out or add distance, the impact of distanced self-talk and how sharing emotions with other people impacts how we feel over time.

Ethan's book is filled with exciting research and excellent tools to help us harness chatter.

In this episode, Dustin talks with Michael Bungay Stanier about his book, The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever. 

You'll discover how coaching others lets you work less hard and have more impact. Dustin and Michael discuss why it is so important to limit advice and ask questions instead. Michael shares the kickstart question and how it can make all the difference, getting right to the point.

We'll talk about how practice owners often become the "advice monster," always wanting to slip into fix-it mode and why it's so important to sit back and ask the right questions instead. Michael shares an excellent focus question that can bring you to the heart of the present challenge, slow down the urgency to create action and allow your coworkers to spend more time resolving the actual problem, not just the initial problem.
