Podcast: EP 39 Personality Isn’t Permanent with Dr. Ben Hardy

Podcast: EP 39 Personality Isn’t Permanent with Dr. Ben Hardy

by | Sep 23, 2020 | Podcast, Success

Have you ever wondered if you can’t change?

 

I am bringing back one of my earliest podcast guests for a second episode because he just wrote a new book and it is so good. If you remember Episode 4 about willpower, you’ll know that Benjamin Hardy is someone worth listening to.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy is an organizational psychologist and bestselling author of Willpower Doesn’t Work and Personality Isn’t Permanent.

His blogs have been read by over 100 million people and are featured on Harvard Business Review, New York Times, Forbes, Fortune, CNBC, Cheddar, and many others. He is a regular contributor to Inc. and Psychology Today and from 2015-2018, he was the #1 writer in the world on Medium.com.

 
 
 
He and his wife Lauren adopted three children through the foster system in February 2018 and, one month later, Lauren became pregnant with twins, who were born in December of 2018. They live in Orlando.
 
 
In this conversation we dive deep into the myths versus truths about how much our personality impacts who we are and what we do. Ben teaches us wisdom about how to make powerful choices about our future self, how to become who we want to be, and how to view our personality as an asset instead of a limitation.

 

“A person’s view of their own future is the strongest indicator of who they are.”

Podcast: EP 37 The Promise with Jason Hewlett

Podcast: EP 37 The Promise with Jason Hewlett

by | Sep 8, 2020 | Challenge, Goals, Podcast

Let’s talk about promises to ourselves.

 

I have a treat for you today. One of the best, most entertaining speakers and friends I know is on the show. He has a new book out that I loved hearing about.

 Jason is the author of the Facebook post entitled, “I Saw My Wife at Target Today”, which has been seen by more than 100 million people. A recent, and one of the youngest inductees in the prestigious Speaker Hall of Fame, his talks inspire leadership from the perspective of a Promise, while giving attendees an engaging, entertaining, and educational experience all in one. His new book is The Promise to the One.

In this conversation, Jason shares the story of how he became a headlining Vegas performer, and then left that career to keep the most important promises to himself. I can’t wait for you to hear his perspective on what it means to keep promises and find harmony through integrity.

“Our harmony is our integrity.”
