Brian Gottlieb enjoys his motorcycle rides and his cigars, but most of all he’s passionate about empowering his employees to find purpose in their work. Brian is our guest on the show today and he’s here to tell us about his new book, “Beyond the Hammer.”

In just over 10 years, Brian grew from a business of 0 employees to 600 employees and over $1 billion in lifetime sales. How? By having an empowerment-based workplace instead of one ruled by policies. Not only did his employees get excellent, ongoing training, but they understood why their work mattered.

If Brian’s motto of “doing well and doing good” resonates with you, you’re really going to enjoy this episode. He infuses our conversation with warmth and no-frills humor. You can see how he created a company that made everyone feel seen and valued.

The American Dream is still alive and well, and Mark Matson wants to make sure everybody knows it. Mark joins us on the show to talk about his new book, “Experiencing the American Dream: How to Invest Your Time, Energy and Money to Create an Extraordinary Life.”

Mark states that schools are promoting victimhood and entitlement, rather than hard work. He warns about seeing money as an evil thing, giving the example of his grandfather remaining poor his whole life because he held this view. He explains the American Dream is not an amount of money in your bank account, but rather a mindset about freedom that doesn’t exist in many other countries.

Mark also gives us a bit of investment advice regarding the S&P, Bitcoin, and even DraftKings. So be sure to stay tuned until the end!

What does “inclusion” mean anyway? Lately, “inclusion” is a buzzword, and when paired with “diversity” and “equity” it generates a lot of heat and noise. Our guest on the show has a lot to say on the topic, based on her 30 years of successful corporate leadership and her new book “Lead Bigger: The Transformative Power of Inclusion.” We’re thrilled to be joined today by Anne Chow.

Anne shares what she’s learned from the research and her own experience about how inclusion impacts decisions about the workforce, investors, and the market. We have a rich, deep conversation about what inclusion is, and what it is not. 

Whether you’re a leader of a team of thousands or just two or three people, take a listen to learn how to achieve better success metrics and higher fulfillment through inclusion.

Push it down and power through. That’s how many of us have become high-achievers. But that’s also how many of us have developed physical and emotional unwellness. Our guests on the show today explain how to reconnect with our bodies to achieve more for internal selves.

Today we’re joined by Jennifer Mann and Karden Rabin, co-authors of “The Secret Language of the Body.” They tell us their personal journeys of being high-achievers, but struggling with fatigue and illness, to being happy, healthier individuals. The key, they share, is tuning into the secret language of the body.

The secret language of the body is sensations, emotions, behaviors, postures, movements, gestures, etc. Jennifer and Karden encourage us to bring awareness to that language, interrupt our typical negative response to it, and redesign a new response. Taking the responsibility to redesign our response is hard, they admit, but it opens up so many beautiful, powerful possibilities.

“How do you use the concept of The ONE Thing in a company environment?” One of our loyal listeners sent us this great question. 

We spend today’s episode answering it, explaining how we use The ONE Thing approach when we coach a whole corporation, not just an individual.

We’ve worked with military Special Forces, NBA teams, huge corporations, and small start-ups. Our approach stays consistent and effective: Vision setting, priority identification, planning, and ongoing evaluation.

Listen in as we lay out the details.

Your company culture should not be designed around what generation your workers come from. It should not rely on being physically present in the office. The number one value and practice of your culture should be adaptability. Dr. Jessica Kriegel joins us today to explain how the data shows adaptable company cultures are the best performing ones.

What many people mistake for generational differences are actually life stage differences. Baby Boomers were a lot like Gen Z when they too were in their twenties. Yes, technology has increased transparency and expectations, and it has even changed where we physically work, but fundamentally we are the same across generations.

Dr. Jessica Kriegel explains how scientists at Stanford analyzed decades of data, finding only one single culture that made a difference in revenue results. In fact, it makes a 4x difference. That culture is the culture of adaptability. She walks us through how to transform your company culture into one of adaptability.

Time is the most precious resource in any environment, but it does not often get treated that way at work. Talented workers’ time gets eaten up by meetings, reducing their “flow” and productivity. Matt Martin, joins the show today to talk about changing the culture of scheduling with a little help from technology.

Matt is the CEO and Co-Founder of Clockwise, a very popular calendar tool that's unlocked over six million hours of focus time for employees and resolved four million meeting conflicts. With a heavy dose of ML heuristics and a little bit of AI, Clockwise coordinates meetings so everybody involved gets the best schedule possible, opening up time for workers to reach deep flow states. Clockwise also shares the scheduling analytics with all users so everyone can reflect on how they spent their time, allowing them to adjust as needed.

Take a listen as we discuss the illusion of productivity, deep work, attention residue, and changing cultural norms.

After Matt Diamante read The ONE Thing, he decided to give it a try. The ONE thing he chose was to post on social media every day. Now, after only 18 months, Matt has 190,000 Instagram followers, 20,000 followers on TikTok, and his inbox is flooded with business requests for his HeyTony advertising agency. Matt joins us on the show today to explain how The ONE Thing transformed his business.

Matt’s first post was just a video of him sitting on a toilet (don’t worry, fully clothed) and pledging that he would post everyday. From there, he not only developed the habit and improved his on-camera skills, but he also generated data that helped him figure out how to be more and more successful.

Matt gives us a firsthand account of how powerful doing just ONE thing a day can be. Plus, he gives us a few SEO and social media tips that we all can use.

If you're a bold risk taker who wants to dream big and achieve a higher level of success in your life or business, visit the1thing.com to learn about our one-on-one coaching, as well as our exclusive community membership program.
