Velocitycast

Pivot points are moments in our professional career where we change course to something related or, often, something completely different. They come about due to dissatisfaction with our job, our daily routine, or realizing that there is no path to growth for us where we are.

This episode digs into how to recognize pivots, two kinds of pivots, and how to assess our strengths and passions to take a leap of faith into a potentially rewarding new career.

When I started my own journey of personal development, I was confused by the sheer volume of information and struggled to incorporate the techniques I learned. Thinking of things in terms of a 3-step framework made a big difference:

Phase I is about mapping and learning the available techniques. You keep what works, and throw out what doesn't.

Phase II is about implementing mechanics and fitting the techniques that work into your new routine.

Phase III is the long road to mastery that we never truly reach. It's also where we reflect and make adjustments as needed.

This podcast is all about this framework and explores each phase in-depth.

Being busy is seen as a badge of honor in modern society. For high-achievers, we think that any time spent not working is time wasted. We feel like we need to pack our calendar to the brim in order to make progress and get ahead.

In this episode, I propose a new way of thinking about "busyness." If we instead look at the opportunity cost associated with saying yes to certain things, it will make us more cautious with what we add to our calendar in the future.

Respect is a funny thing in that it will immediately open or close doors for you when the people you're interacting with have never previously met you. It's directly related to your reputation, and that will always precede you for good or for bad.

Respect cannot be forced. More importantly, if you find yourself in a leadership position and the people you're leading don't respect you, you won't be able to get anything done.

In this episode, we discuss what respect is, why we respect others, and how we can act in such a way that our lifestyle and accomplishments earn the respect of those around us.

Your life experience has created someone with unique strengths and capabilities. We tend to shy away from sharing our experience, but doing so, and learning to leverage it, can create great opportunities in your career.

Jesse Itzler often speaks about building our "life resume" -- what skills and abilities have you gained from your unique path? If you can learn to leverage these, doors will open as you realize you're uniquely suited for certain pursuits.

This week is an experiment with a new style of podcast episode that I plan to rotate in on occasion.

I wanted to do a deep dive into a person I found interesting and who I think carries some of the values we aspire to hold in our lives: tenacity, perseverance, and comfort with risk.

This week we discuss real-estate developer Gary Barnett, founder of Extell Development and the man responsible for the construction of One57 in NYC. One57 was the first project to be completed on the now-famous Billionaire's Row, a stretch of high-rise condo buildings on 57th Street adjacent to Central Park. His story is interesting, and the story of how One57 was completed during a market downturn is even more so.

Modern media would lead you to believe that we all have vast differences. It's easy to hate those from different groups and use stereotypes to come up with preconceived notions.

What you will realize is that the more you communicate with someone, the more you tend to like them. We all have far more in common than we have apart.

This week, I challenge you to challenge your emotional reactions to headlines, put yourself in different shoes, and engage in conversation with people you disagree with.

I started using a decision-making framework to help me make small choices more frequently while still giving the requisite weight and gravity to larger decisions.

Small choices have large ripple affects that create lasting change, but they require consistent action in order to do so. Utilizing this framework will allow you to make small decisions more frequently while adjusting when those decisions are wrong.

Learning to make more choices will allow you to accomplish your goals and create lasting positive change in your life.

As always, thanks for tuning in!
