The Darkside of Elite

I walk into my appointment with my psychologist and in the waiting room, my parents and sister are there. I’m like, Oh, fuck, the gig is up. There was an intervention done on me and I was put into a detox facility that night. I was not the person that said, I would love to stop using . People say, Oh, if you really want something you have to try harder. I call total bullshit. Getting high is like getting a hug from God. That’s the best way to equate it and no person in their right mind is ever going to say Today’s a great day to step up. I would love to give up my best friend, my security blanket, my confidant, and the thing that makes me feel the best. -Barry Reiman, Psy.D

It’s really simple to create a plan but the execution of it is hard. In the elite circles I ‘ve been part of in SEALTeam and professional athletes.

It’s the same story, simple plan but the execution is daily over a lengthy amount of time. For most, 10 years.

1. Identify the issues.

Be clear about what the problem is.

Remember that different people might have different views of what the issues are.

Separate the listing of issues from the identification of interests (that’s the next step!).

When contemplating what we want to do in life whether it’s personal success, or providing service to our fellow man or woman, it’s a slippery slope to look at others from the outside and make a judgment on their successes or failures. And then imprint that into your journey of what you want…Under 5 minute lesson for Mental Health Monday.

An internationally-renowned thought leader known as the Disaster Avoidance Expert, I am on a mission to protect leaders from dangerous judgment errors known as cognitive biases, which devastate bottom lines and bring down high-flying careers. My expertise and passion is developing the most effective and profitable decision-making strategies to empower leaders to avoid business disasters, maximize their bottom lines, and help their careers flourish. My proprietary methodology combines my pragmatic business experience with cutting-edge behavioral economics and cognitive neuroscience research.

The bestselling author of several books, I am best known for my national bestseller, Never Go With Your Gut: How Pioneering Leaders Make the Best Decisions and Avoid Business Disasters (Career Press, 2019). It’s the first book to focus on cognitive biases in business leadership and reveal how leaders can overcome these dangerous judgment errors effectively. I also wrote The Blindspots Between Us: How to Overcome Unconscious Cognitive Bias and Build Better Relationships (New Harbinger, 2020), the first book to focus on cognitive biases in professional and personal relationships and illustrate how we can defeat these dangerous judgment errors in our relationships. My new book is Resilience: Adapt and Plan for the New Abnormal of the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic (Changemakers Books, 2020). It helps organizations and individuals navigate successfully the major disruption of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and succeed in the post-pandemic world.

My cutting-edge thought leadership was featured in over 550 articles I published and over 450 interviews I gave to popular venues. These include Inc. Magazine, Fast Company, CBS News, Time, Scientific American, Psychology Today, The Conversation, Business Insider, Government Executive, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Entrepreneur, and many others.

My expertise comes from over 20 years of consulting, coaching, speaking, and training for mid-size and large businesses and nonprofits. I serve as the CEO of the boutique consulting, coaching, and training firm Disaster Avoidance Experts, which uses a proprietary methodology based on groundbreaking research to help leaders and organizations maximize their bottom lines by addressing potential threats, seizing unexpected opportunities, and resolving persistent personnel problems.

My expertise also comes from my research and teaching background as a behavioral economist and cognitive neuroscientist studying the psychology of decision making in business and other contexts. I spent over 15 years in academia, including 7 years as a professor at the Ohio State University and before that a Fellow at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. My dozens of peer-reviewed academic publications have appeared in well-respected scholarly journals such as Behavior and Social Issues, Journal of Social and Political Psychology, and International Journal of Existential Psychology and Psychotherapy.

Today we speak with Kenny Bell. Kenny Bell is a great American citizen but a better human. I met Kenny as a freshman at UNL as I was consulting the football team.

“I think at the root of it, it starts with education, whether it’s educating the white population about the history of not only police but the numerous systems that are in place that are meant to oppress and disenfranchise black people in this country. Educating that and getting rid of redlining, where funding for certain schools depends on what area code they’re in. That’s a huge problem in America. You could live four blocks from someone else and you go to a school that doesn’t have extracurricular activities and can barely feed the kids hot lunch. We have kids in this country that are sleeping on friend’s couches, just so they can go to a better school. That’s a problem. Why should anyone be subjugated to worse education because of the area code that they’re growing up in? Just doesn’t it just doesn’t make sense to me.” -Kenny Bell

Joe vs Pro 006

I ask how could you apply the DON’T QUIT mentality Jack carried with him during SEAL Team and how could you apply it to fighting cancer.
