Welcome to another heartfelt Thanksgiving episode of The Insight Interviews! As we gather to celebrate the season of gratitude, we’re reminded of the power of connection and appreciation, transcending borders and uniting us all. In this special episode, we explore Thanksgiving traditions worldwide, dive into the science behind gratitude, and share personal stories of thankfulness. From self-care and family to mentors and life values, we reflect on the many facets of gratitude that enrich our lives. Join us as we embrace this journey of reflection, connection, and appreciation together.
In this episode Jason, Steve & the Guests discuss:
Key Takeaways:
“As you, Jason, and I do our work here at Rewire, most everything we try to do links to some sort of neuroscientific fact. Gratitude, while certainly emotional, has fascinating neurobiology—what happens in our brains and minds when we’re grateful. For goodness’ sake, the entire field of positive psychology revolves around activating the parasympathetic nervous system. Living a life of gratitude, as we’ve heard, is a life worth living. Every year, we gather remarkable gratitude like a collection, sharing it in the hope it resonates with you, the listener, and helps you find your own gratitude.“

Key Takeaways:
“People don’t care about your strategy, your strategic plan, or your priorities—they only want to know what it means to them and how they can succeed. If you’re leading an organization, ask your people: What does winning look like to you? Because when you help others get what they want, that’s when you truly win as a leader.”- Anthony Taylor

In this episode, Jason and Dennis discuss:
Key Takeaways:
“I'm basically living my legacy because, with Bright Matter Advisors, I'm using my experience, my flaws, and my weaknesses that I have tried to work through, but continue to work on every day, always to help other people so they don’t experience what happened to me. And that’s really what gives me purpose everyday—doing things with impact.”

In this episode Jason and Brian discuss:
Key Takeaways:
“The more negative the world gets, the less people feel like they have the opportunity to succeed, and the better chance there is for you to succeed because you have less competition. If you get your head right, your mind right, you get the right training, the right coaching, the right consulting, you do the right things, you can do anything you want to do, and there's less competition because of the very thing you talked about, which is that negative mindset that's floating around the world.”

Andrew Bartlow is the Founder and Managing Partner of Series B Consulting, which advises PE and VC-backed organizations. He co-authored “Scaling for Success”, published by Columbia University Business School, and teaches at some of the world’s leading educational institutions. Over his long in-house career, Andrew participated in over a dozen M&A transactions, IPOs, bankruptcies, and successful PE sponsor exits. He advised scores of C-level executives, supported employee populations of 5,000+, built numerous HR functions, and learned from the best while at Pepsi and GE. His last in-house role was as the head of HR for what is now Invitation Homes, which he helped take from a small private organization to a public company with a market cap of over $20B.
In this episode Jason and Andrew discuss:
Key Takeaways:
“Success is meeting your goals or achieving or surpassing your goals. But to have success, you have to have a goal. You have to have some destination in mind. So, if you don't have a destination, if you don't have a goal, you cannot have success. So, you need to be able to chart your course. You need to be able to articulate what good looks like for you. If that's a certain revenue number, if that is delivering a certain number of shoes to the undeveloped world, whatever it is, have a goal, and that will be a very important first step on your road to success.”

In this episode Jason and Michael discuss:
Key Takeaways:
“We can be aware of all the opportunities we want to pursue, but functionally, maybe one person tackles one front while someone else tackles another. Or maybe the company, as it's set up, can only handle one change at a time. You think in chess—planning moves ahead—but you're playing like checkers, moving one step at a time. If not, you risk throwing things into disarray. You can’t do everything at once, and I see that every day, not just professionally but personally too.”
