The Perils of Uncertainty 3:48

7d ago3:48

3:48

Uncertainty leads to poor choices. People seek certainty at the cost of their well-being. We have been "certain" about such horrors as eugenics and such trivialities as not swimming for an hour after eating.We've had brutal endings to cults, in Waco, in Jonestown, because conmen had convinced followers that they had certainty. We have polarization …

Wealth Misplaced? 4:45

16d ago4:45

4:45

I'm a capitalist. Socialism and the rest simply favor the few at the top, from Lenin to Hitler to Castro. Yet we do have too high a level of poverty.In the face of this we are paying athletes tens of millions a year and hundreds of millions in contracts. Connor McGregor makes $180 million annually, Lionel Messi $130 million. Juan Soto, a good hitti…

Who Is the Buyer, Anyway? 10:06

26d ago10:06

10:06

SHOW NOTESLet's stop using inaccurate terms, such as VITO (Very Important Top Officer) or "C-suite," which doesn't actually exist. Let's focus on real buyers. And that also calls for accuracy. A small business owner is a small business owner, not a CEO. That buyer has differing frames of reference and motivation from an executive in a large organiz…

AMscams 6:24

6:24

Usually found on AM radio, sometimes TV infomercials, sometimes online ads. They involve an "authority" you've never heard of and an interlocutor you've never heard of who's as eager as a puppy, e.g., "Media personality Joe Shmo."The issue is weight loss, erectile disfunction, leg pain, backaches, congestion, hearing impairment, of any other popula…

Radon can also be found in water. Radon escapes from the ground into the air, where it decays and produces further radioactive particles.Radon from soil gas is the main cause of radon…

Mad As Hell 5:24

2M ago5:24

5:24

"I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore"This is a line from the 1976 movie Network. The line is spoken by Howard Beale, a character who is angry about the state of America.The executive vice president at a huge bank asked where I was from. "So you left that cesspool to move up here," he said. I said, "Why are so many of you so j…

Being Polite 5:15

Show Notes:Consider two axes, one or importance (of a job, career, project,relationship) and the other of courtesy. Thus, we run from unimportant toimportant, and rude to polite on the two continua.If something is important and it is performed with courtesy andconsideration, it is effectively done.

Battleground States and Term Limits 6:13

2M ago6:13

6:13

A "battleground state" in a US election is a state where either candidate might win depending on the appeal to voters and for whom the majority votes. This is the essence of democracy. Shouldn't every state be a "battleground state"?The same should apply to Congressional and Senate Seats. We have Senators serving longer than many European monarchs.…

War's End 2:43

2M ago2:43

2:43

War’s End?We’ve honored the character and acts of Jimmy Carter upon his death, as we should.But most of the honor was due to his works after he left his one-term presidency, defeated by Ronald Regan. People voted for a starkly different candidate (as they did with Trump after both Obama and Biden).One of Carter’s great blunders was his handling of …

We made four significant charitable contributions to the arts at year end.

Replacing Resolutions 4:09

Forget resolutions that are broken in 90 minutes. Try to focus on the good things that you do and that happen to you.Try a personal journal. You don’t have to be compulsive, but keep it handy, electronically or physically, to easily record things. These may be good acts done for you by others or good acts you perform, especially spontaneously and “…

December 25, 2024 4:23

3M ago4:23

4:23

These are times of astounding incivility, harassment, and dismissiveness. These acts are based on a posturing of moral superiority, as if mere disagreement denotes an inferior being.There is a line in Morris West's The Navigator that states: "And that's the terror of the high place and the high man. Is it God he hears or the echo of his own mad sho…

All the Wrong Places 7:15

3M ago7:15

7:15

Are you looking where it's easy or where you're more likely to succeed? We content ourselves with people who can say no and can't say yes.We seek affection and not respect. Remember "looking for love in all the wrong places"? You won't find love in a bar. A woman told me all the really appealing men in bars are married or gay!If you want to catch f…

What You’re NOT Entitled To 6:02

4M ago6:02

6:02

We seem to have a sense of entitlement. We believe we’re being “ghosted” (a ridiculous term) when people don’t return our calls because we didn’t sufficiently impress them or excite them in our earlier interactions.We’re not entitled to: • Clients who never change a schedule • Not having an opinion on business practices • Using non-validated testin…

Consistently Winning 10:59

10:59

You steer into a skid; you don't try to get out of it because then you lose control. We have to exploit opportunities and deal with setbacks resiliently—"bouncing forward."Blaming and complaining are for children and immature adults. Never let up. The key is to be at your best when you're under the maximum pressure. We should be able to make minor …

Relativism 4:21

4M ago4:21

4:21

Relativism holds that knowledge, truth, and morality exist in relation to culture, society, and/or historical context and are not absolute. I’m not so sure (nor are a lot of other people).Let me speak of relativism today. There is an old Monty Python skit where a one-legged man auditions for a theatrical role as Tarzan. After some awkward movements…

Letters and Columns 6:48

4M ago6:48

6:48

The post-mortems from those who did not back the winner in this presidential election seem to be two-fold.On one hand, we have a group of insightful people asking, “What did we do wrong, and how can we improve?” On the other, we have people whose heads are exploding in vitriol and venom. The latter’s basic premises are that those who voted for the …

Friends 6:20

5M ago6:20

6:20

We all need friends, but not the same ones! Friends need to evolve as we grow, mature, and change.Marshall Goldsmith and I wrote Lifestorming together, and we somewhat disagreed on this, but he wrote the terrific book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, so I think this applies to friends, as well!Your spouse is your best friend? That’s a cop-out…

The Election 6:53

5M ago6:53

6:53

This election reflects a totally flawed Democratic strategy:• Painting your opponent as toxic but not having positive policies.• A candidate who cannot speak without a teleprompter and memorized sound bites.• A morally superior attitude that conveys people voting for the opposition are less educated, dumber, and morally inferior.• Rallying celebrit…

Little Round Top 6:20

5M ago6:20

6:20

The turning point in the American Civil War—and probably world history—occurred in Gettysburg on a rise called Little Round Top. At that place, at that time, a Union general saw a vast threat, and a Union Colonel and his regiment averted the threat through the brilliance of a single command.We need more courage in our lives because, unlike Gettysbu…

Here Comes The Judge 4:43

5M ago4:43

4:43

We all get the kind of government we deserve. If you voted for the winner of the election, that’s good until such time as you feel promises aren’t being kept. If you voted for the loser of the election, that means not enough people in the right places agreed with you, and you have to submit to the system. However, you’re still free to protest, be s…

Bill Russell, in Second Wind, defines pressure and performance.For example: - Brady coming back from 25 points down in the second half of the Super Bowl.- Houston, we have a problem (Apollo 13).- Sully Sullenberger landing in the Hudson River. The need is to really stay calm.- Three Mile Island as opposed to Chornobyl.- Bluffing in poker (vs. the “…

Many people in Rhode Island have never been to Boston, let alone New York. I’ve coached a very successful entrepreneur who has never been to New York and doesn’t wish to go.

Esteem 8:17

6M ago8:17

8:17

Esteem means respect and admiration. Hence, self-esteem would mean respect and admiration for yourself. Self-worth and self-esteem are the same thing to me, whereas self-confidence is your faith (or lack thereof) that you can do something: efficacy.Pride is feeling proud of your accomplishments, but vanity is insisting that others hear about them, …
