The Dov Barron Show

We are all swimming in an ocean of partisan division. It's everywhere; it's happening in Washington, DC, it's happening at family gatherings, and it's happening inside our organizations. All too often, leaders like us feel we have to batten down the hatches around lines of division by creating an ever-increasing number of rules and regulations that will generate even more division over time.

Playing into division costs us engagement, costs us morale, and it will cost us our corporate culture. But what can we do?



Stay tuned because we will sit down with the Cultural DJ, Tom Fishman over the next two episodes. Tom Fishman is the CEO of a company that has created a movement to overcome the culture wars. Before becoming CEO of Starts With Us, Tom spent over 12 years building and scaling businesses, audiences, and highly engaged communities at the interface of culture, media, and technology. He was most recently the GM at the video technology company Eko, bringing first-of-their-kind shoppable interactive video experiences to market. Previously, Tom led product strategy for Facebook's original content team and led digital at MTV as SVP Strategy & Operations, amassing a digital community of over 250 million fans globally.



Today, Tom Fishman is the CEO of Starts With Us, of which I am honored to be a founding member. Starts With Us is a non-partisan civic movement to overcome America's bitter culture wars, using media and technology to foster independent thinking, healthier communication, and courageous collaboration across our differences. Starts With Us, was founded by Daniel Lubetzky, who is also the founder of KIND Snacks.

As the conductor of that orchestra, you have around eighty to one hundred musicians in front of you. They are all brilliant in their own right, all fighting to have their brilliance heard above everyone else's, and you must serve the greater good. You must combine them into coherence and harmony to serve a greater good. But how can we do it?



Stay tuned over the next two episodes as we sit down with Arnaud Saint-Paul.

Is There a Bottle Neck in Your Trust Pipeline?

Up until 2019, global levels of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) were on the rise. However, recent data shows that our EQ has been steadily dropping since the pandemic. Take a moment to consider what this means for you as a leader. Furthermore, what does it mean in the context of attracting and keeping your top talent?

Self-awareness, particularly emotional self-awareness, can be tricky when we haven't either developed or reinforced our emotional intelligence. Let's say that you have done your EQ training and even read a book or two on the subject, but do we genuinely understand what Emotional Intelligence is?

Let's face it; emotions can seem like an inconvenient pain in that they come up when we don't want them to, and they can be challenging to understand. But what if emotions are the most crucial value your people can bring to your organization?

Well, that's where we're going on our next couple of episodes with our guest Mr. Joshua Freedman. Joshua has co-founded Six Seconds, and for 25 years, he has partnered with leaders to build value with emotions in places like FedEx, the UN, and HSBC. Six Seconds works in 200 countries and territories to raise the world's emotional intelligence. Six Seconds – is a global community of emotional intelligence practitioners, researchers, and experts, working toward a billion people practicing EQ.

Joshua is a master-certified coach (International Coaching Federation) and the international EQ Coach Certification leader. He is an international bestselling author of, At The Heart of Leadership, one of five books he's written, including Whole-Hearted Parenting. Joshua leads two ongoing research projects, The Workplace Vitality Report and The State of the Heart, which is the world's most extensive study of EQ. He's co-author of the POP-UP Festival, in partnership with UNICEF World Children's Day, a free play-based curriculum introducing SEL to 1.5 million children and adults.

John S. Couch: The Art of Creative Rebellion
How to champion creativity, change culture and save your soul: John Couch 

We speak so much about the need for innovation in our businesses and in our industries. However, a vital question we may need to stop and ask is: are we strangling innovation in the crib by restricting the Creative Rebels inside our own organizations?

Our special guest on this exclusive episode is John Couch 

He is Chief Experience Officer for Blockchain Creative Labs / Head of Galvanize Studios/author of “The Art of Creative Rebellion” / former head of design for Hulu | eBay | Qualcomm | CBS | MOCA | Wired

John led the successful 2017 redesign of the Hulu Experience. John Couch considers himself as a battle-hardened creative executive who has learned how to keep his creative soul and humanity while working in the massive corporate machinery of modern capitalism. He is a writer (novels and screenwriting), artist (you can see him create live on Instagram, he’s also a designer who is dedicated to unlocking creativity in businesses, his co-workers and himself. He's one of today’s leading creative minds­ and the author of a new and rather radical book for modern rebels about how to find success―without losing your edge. The Art of Creative Rebellion.

What if Your Crazy is Calling You to Your Genius?

Could it be that despite your fear, embracing the crazy or cracked parts of yourself might be immensely beneficial to your leadership? Let's face it; we've all been through our battles. Some are more severe than others. Consider this; the pain you are experiencing is not designed to break you but rather to break you open. What if you opened up and allowed yourself to fully experience that cracking, knowing that it is through those cracks the light could penetrate and illuminate what you may have hidden from yourself?



Our guest for the next two episodes certainly understands that. Susan Clarke and her partner CrisMarie Campbell are the co-founders of Thrive Inc. They've spent 20 years helping men, women, couples, and teams to resolve difficult conflicts and create solid and thriving relationships.



Susan Clarke and her partner co-host a podcast, The Beauty of Conflict, and have given presentations on conflict resolution, communication, teamwork, and creative problem-solving at Fortune 100 companies like Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, AT&T, and Nationwide, and at the Gates Foundation, University of Washington Medical Center, San Francisco Giants, and many others.



Yet, at 24, Susan's entrepreneurial path became a quest to find a solution to a terminal cancer diagnosis. What Susan discovered was Crazy, Cracked, Warm, and Deep, which is the name of her latest book; her memoir. This is a stirring history;

however, it's also a primer on how to locate and remember the broken and separated parts in each of us, clearing the pain so the dark spots get the needed light to live forward.

When Leaders Discover That They Want, and Need a Little Crazy

Learning From Experiments

As leaders, much of what we do depends entirely on the quality of our decisions.

However, as stress kicks in and our brain gets washed with a tsunami of cortisol, those none reactive decisions become more and more challenging to make. But what if there was a simple and powerful strategy that could show you that the thing you might see as impossible is, unless...

Imagine if there was simply an app on your device that could eliminate the overwhelming stress and allow you to tap into the greatest decision-makers in your industry? Could an app help us make faster decisions when it really matters? What if there was a way to tap into the exact constraints to get you to crystal clarity?

Could an app help us make faster decisions when it really matters?

Well, that's where we're going. Our guest for the next two episodes is Dr. Alan Barnard. Alan is considered one of the world's leading Decision Scientists and Theory of Constraints expert. His research focuses on understanding why good people make and often repeat bad decisions. Based on this research, he has developed a range of award-winning decision support apps. Vanilla Ice featured him as one of his "Ice Advisors" on Season 7 of his award-winning Reality TV show on the DIY Channel.

Dr. Alan Barnard's clients include Microsoft, Cargill, Tata Steel, Nike, Cisco, Intel, Penguin Random House, BC Rail, Premier Foods, Habitat for Humanity, Utah Governor's Office of Management and Budget, and that's just a few. Alan is also the Chairman of Odyssey Institute and frequently serves as field supervisor of Ph.D. students and guest lecturer at the DaVinci Institute and Duke University. He is also the author of, It's Impossible… Unless?
