Jennifer Petriglieri is a Professor of Organizational Behavior at INSEAD, and the author of Couples That Work. A book that’s coming out this week on making a dual career relationship successful. Prior to joining INSEAD, she was a Post-Doctoral Fellow of Organizational Behavior at the Harvard Business School. Having lived and worked on three continents, she is now settled in France with her husband and their two children.

Jennifer has spent the last six years studying over a hundred couples in a variety of roles and types of relationships from all over the world.

Drawing on this research, she highlights the three distinct yet predictable transitions that all couples go through and offers practical guidance in the form of questions, exercises and activities that couples can use to overcome the most pressing challenges they face.

From couples in their mid-20s to those in their mid-60s, from heterosexual couples to same-sex couples, her book has something of value to strengthen all of our relationships. I believe it's going to be the book I gift the most over the years, and I'm starting this week. Make sure to listen after the show to find out how to get a copy from me!

Denise Shull is a decision coach and performance architect for hedge fund managers, traders and professional athletes. She is the Author of Market Mind Games - book on the radical psychology of making decisions and risk. And she is the inspiration for the character "Wendy Rhodes" in the Showtime show, Billions

Denise's thesis is that there's a common mis-belief that you should "set your emotions aside when making a decision" and she will explain why this is an ineffective way to make good decisions. Based off of scientific research, we now know that it's impossible to make decisions without feelings. In Denise's book, I read about a study where people had brain injuries to that part of the brain that controlled emotions, and those people were incapable of making any decisions. Not what to wear, not what to eat. It was crazy. So how do we stop ignoring our emotions and instead learn to understand what they are telling us.

Denise will also share:

• The most significant question you need to ask yourself before making any important decision
• How to figure out if you are making a decision for sound reasons or because of the two big fears that most influence our decisions, and
• The proper way to mourn a failure so that you can get over it and keep it from holding you back.

Everywhere she goes, people ask Esther Wojcicki for parenting advice. That's because each one of her three daughters has a crazy awesome job: Susan is the CEO of YouTube, Janet is a professor at UC San Francisco, and Anne is the co founder and CEO of 23andMe.

Ester has also been a journalism teacher for more than 35 years at Palo Alto High School. The students that swear by her method include actor and director, James Franco and Jeremy Lin, a Harvard graduate and point guard in the NBA.

So what is it? What's her methodology? Esther has just released a book called How to Raise Successful People in which she outlines a five step process for raising successful people. I read the book and interviewed ester about 3 months ago, and since implementing the methodology it has radically transformed my relationship with my son. What's more, this isn't just a way to raise happy/successful kids. It's a method you can take to work to have happy and successful employees. You can use these 5 steps in any relationship you want to improve.

Here are the five steps. They spell the word TRICK. T-R-I-C-K

Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration, and Kindness

I can't wait to for you to hear this really insightful conversation, and be sure to listen after the show to find out what happened when I interviewed my son on how Jason and I have been doing in each of these categories.
