Ashley Stahl: Driven By Childhood Trauma & How To Know If Your Motives Are Authentic 1:03:05

2h ago1:03:05

1:03:05

Following is a story that is far more common than we realize. A childhood trauma that directs our lives, for better and/or worse. When I first started focusing on drive and researching for my book, this is one of the earlier conversations I had with an influential person, digging into their personal story of drive. Ashley got a Master’s degree from…

We All Have Drive But We Are Not All Driving Forward | How To Find Direction 14:01

24m ago14:01

14:01

A popular topic when I’m being interviewed is my stance on drive. I believe every human has as much drive in them as anyone else. And further, that we are all driven. We are driven to be where we are and who we are. I’ve become known for stating that drug addicts are some of the most driven people on earth. But they are not driving forward, toward …

GOING INFINITE: Michael Lewis Wants to Change Your Mind About Sam Bankman-Fried 1:12:14

5h ago1:12:14

1:12:14

In March, when Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of FTX, was sentenced to 25 years behind bars for stealing $8 billion from customers, many people saw it as just punishment for a two-faced poser who had spouted a lot of rot about altruism just to mask the rank odor of his relentless greed. Michael Lewis, the famed author of Moneyball and The…

Distrust vs Trust: Which Is Safer, Wiser & Most Beneficial 16:10

2h ago16:10

16:10

In my continual research into human potential it’s ever more revealed to me that we are inherently most driven to protect ourselves. So when we look to our general behavior, this is what we find. Efforts to feel secure. I feel this is the root to our cynical nature, which was the focus of the previous episode featuring Stanford professor of psychol…

#253: Adopting a Just In Time, Just Enough Data Mindset with Matt Gershoff 1:08:02

13h ago1:08:02

1:08:02

While we don’t often call it out explicitly, the driving force behind much of what and how much data we collect is driven by a “just in case” mentality: we don’t know exactly HOW that next piece of data will be put to use, but we better collect it to minimize the potential for future regret about NOT collecting it. Data collection is an optionality…

Jamil Zaki: Reject Easy Cynicism And Evolve To Wise & Hopeful Skepticism 1:41:07

1h ago1:41:07

1:41:07

If you look at social media influencers, news headlines and commentary, late night TV hosts and a high percentage of the so called informed public, you find a consistent thread of cynicism. Cynicism is a general distrust and lack of faith or hope in humanity and it’s gotten to be viewed as clever and intelligent to take a cynical view of life, and …

Shaunti Feldhahn: How Being Kind Benefits You More Than The Recipient 1:03:23

8d ago1:03:23

1:03:23

I really appreciate taking a topic where we think we know what drives us, and discovering the motives are actually coming from somewhere else. It allows us to come into better alignment and realize more benefit. In this case, the concept is kindness. We think we should be kind because it’s the right thing to do. And if we’re kind, then others will …

Who You Are Is A Myth: You Are Who You Are Becoming 15:20

27m ago15:20

15:20

We spend our childhood being labeled as to who we are. Then we continue into adulthood thinking of ourselves as who we are, like we are a fixed object. And yet when we look back to ourselves five or ten or 15 years ago, we often hardly recognize or remember that person. We have this concept of finding and figuring ourselves out. Anything that is gr…

Sturgeon caviar harvested in a lab. Skyscrapers made out of living materials that grow from the ground up. Computers that run on DNA.

Happiness vs Meaning: Which Is Really Driving You? 14:21

41m ago14:21

14:21

This show is called What Drives You. My book is called What Drives You. Because what drives you becomes your life. If we’re not getting what we want out of life, we are unaware of what is really driving us. Happiness, for instance. As a podcast host I am inundated with self-improvement books and personalities. There have been more books with “happi…

Contentment & How To Reconcile Your Continual Pursuit of Growth 14:31

14:31

Have you ever struggled with feeling a twinge of guilt for your desire to continually grow and change? Wondering if you should just feel content and grateful for where you are and it’s selfish to desire and want more? Especially if you are mainly surrounded by others who seem to just be ok with things as they are? I’m actually not going to justify …

Goals vs Growth: Which Provides You With More Fulfillment? 1:15:08

1d ago1:15:08

1:15:08

I hear from more and more people who just enjoy the journey of personal growth. They almost feel guilty about it, especially if they are mostly around others who seem content to just maintain life. They wonder why they have this insatiable appetite for more insight about themselves and life. Of course, I resonate with them. Over the past years I’ve…

John Ruhlin: The Art Of Gift Giving & How To Be Memorable 58:00

58:00

The focus of this episode is twofold. One is to look at how you are driven to show appreciation to people. How you show love and your motives behind your efforts. The other is some ideas for helping drive people to you. My muse is gift giving. The very concept has a lot of baggage around it. A lot of shoulds and expectations. Our focus here is usin…

Your Daily Environment & Duties May Be More Important Than The Product & Service You Help Offer In Your Work 16:17

18m ago16:17

16:17

I’ve admittedly put my focus on the work we do on the actual product and service we help deliver. No matter what you do, at the end of the rope is a product or service that is sold. To find fulfillment in your work, my experience is that it’s of utmost importance that you resonate with and support that end product or service. Or…is it? I find it ha…

ANXIOUS ACHIEVER: How You Can Turn Anxiety Into a Superpower 1:00:32

6d ago1:00:32

1:00:32

What are some words you would use to describe a leader? Bold, driven, steadfast. How about … anxious? You may not equate leadership with anxiety, but Morra Aarons-Mele — a writer, podcaster, and self-proclaimed anxious achiever — says that’s a mistake. Because anxiety is not a professional defect or character flaw. It’s not something to be ashamed …

Yellowstone & How To Evolve What You Do To Put Food On The Table 16:40

16:40

Yes, I’m talking about the TV series. With my family life I don’t get to see a lot of TV, but I really like a good story that moves me. And I like Kevin Costner as an actor. So I watched the original Yellowstone series. It was hard at first, I didn’t like any characters. But then it drew me in. So now I’ve watched the prequels, 1883 and 1923, and r…

Broadly writ, we’re all in the business of data work in some form, right? It’s almost like we’re all swimming around in a big data lake, and our peers are swimming around it, too, and so are our business partners. There might be some HiPPOs and some SLOTHs splashing around in the shallow end, and the contours of the lake keep changing. Is lifeguard…

1:25:13

We are all going to work. For most of our lives. We applaud people for their anniversaries. “Oh, you’ve been married for 10 years, congratulations.” Or the big celebration you have for a couple who has been married for 50 years! Well, most of us will work for nearly 50 years. I had my first consistent job at about 13, started my first business at 1…

Take Permission To Discover What You Really Want: Not What Others & The Culture Want For You 57:52

57:52

This is at the heart of what drives you. Many of you. Most of you. And I’ve been there too. You are driving along every day after things you haven’t really agreed with. And then you wonder why you don’t feel motivated and you’d rather just scroll social media, eat, drink, numb or entertain. You want to tune into stories that make you feel cause you…

How & Why To Nurture Friendships Even When Your Best Friend Is Yourself 20:36

7d ago20:36

20:36

I’m looking at how true friendships can be vital for your drive. I’m sensitive to this topic, as we know culturally, very few people have close and consistent friendships today. We are more isolated than ever and more and more people have never experienced a real, true friendship. As an introvert, I want to offer a few thoughts on the value of frie…

Your Body Transports You & Your Food Is Your Best Anti-Medicine 16:12

To talk about what drives you…your body transports you. All of you. It is your vehicle. And what you eat fuels it. I was at someone’s home recently and looked around their kitchen. What I saw motivated me to peek in their fridge and freezer. Yeah, I’m that guy. And what I found was hardly any real food. It was all FDA approved edible substances. Bu…

Making Money Or Making A Difference Does Not Have To Be A Choice 12:35

14d ago12:35

12:35

I have an admission to make. I’ve been a lifetime advocate of making a difference in and with your work. Making an impact in the world. I viewed work like it’s a ministry to save the world. And I didn’t connect with people who primarily worked just to make money. I negatively judged it, to be honest. And yet today I’m friends with plenty of people …
