The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Marla Bace: Mastering Emotional Intelligence for Effective Leadership and Self-Awareness

Rui da Silva, Founder and Head Coach of Balanced Rebel, a Health Coaching Company balancedrebel.com Here is a summary of the key points from the podcast transcript: Rui DeSilva is a health and stress management coach who founded Balanced Rebel, an online health coaching company. He helps busy professionals manage their energy, sleep, nutrition, and stress through lifestyle changes. This allows them to perform sustainably, age stronger, and transform ordinary habits into an extraordinary life. Strategic breaks are essential for recovery and stress management. People need to make time to move, breathe, listen to music, etc during the workday. Recovery is a necessity, not a luxury. Sleep regulates brain function, muscle repair, cortisol, and more. It is critical for peak performance. Many compromise sleep to work more but it backfires. Nutrition provides energy to the body. People often eat for emotional reasons versus energizing the body. The 80/20 rule provides structure: 80% of meals energize, 20% are emotional/social. Rui offers corporate and personal coaching, online programs, free resources like stress assessments, and a monthly subscription model for continued support. His website is balancedrebel.com. The key is realizing we can control our habits and making small improvements daily. Tiny gains compound over time for extraordinary results.

On Second Thought… Maybe I Can by Debbie Weiss https://amzn.to/3QvmgCt On Second Thought… Maybe I Can is the story of a chubby, insecure, and scared little girl who spent her life doing what was expected of her and taking care of everyone but herself. Like many of us, she was ready to stop using others’ opinions and her personal circumstances as an excuse to continue living a life she didn’t love. When Debbie turned 50, she had an epiphany that changed her life: “On Second Thought… Maybe I Can.” She realized she had the power to transform her life all along, she just didn’t know it. Debbie’s journey shows us it’s never too late to pursue the life you want. Here are some key points from the podcast transcript: Guest Debbie Weiss is the author of a memoir called “On Second Thought, Maybe I Can” about overcoming obstacles and living out dreams. She became a caregiver for her father at a young age which forced her to mature quickly. This experience gave her tools to help others later. At 50, Weiss had an epiphany, realizing she had lost herself always caring for others. This motivated her transformation. She coaches women on personal development, limiting beliefs, goal-setting, and self-care. Mothers often neglect themselves helping others. The journey itself has lessons, not just the destination. Collecting life stories teaches us. Weiss shares stories in her book and coaching. Caregivers need timeouts to refill themselves. Self-care is essential, not selfish. In summary, Weiss aims to inspire people that circumstances don’t have to define you. Her memoir and coaching help women put themselves first to ultimately help others more.

Hatchpath.io Jordan Dunin, CEO and Founder of HatchPath a Health Coaching Services Platform Here are some key points from the podcast transcript: Guest Jordan Dunnan is the founder of Hatchpath, an online marketplace connecting clients to health coaches. After suffering chronic illnesses himself, Dunnan found a coach who gave him a blueprint to regain his health. This inspired Hatchpath. The platform vets and lists various types of coaches – nutrition, fitness, mindfulness, chronic illness, etc. Clients can browse and set up free intro calls. Dunnan believes lifestyle changes through nutrition, mindset, and habits can help prevent and overcome health issues before resorting to medication. Coaching provides accountability and support in making uncomfortable but necessary changes. It’s about moving forward, unlike therapy which addresses past trauma. As a first-time entrepreneur, Dunnan learned legal aspects but overcoming self-doubt was the biggest hurdle. Believing you’re “not enough” holds people back. Reframing problems and seeing pain as growth opportunities is key to persevering as an entrepreneur when things get difficult. Hatchpath aims to open up coaching access. If you need help reaching a goal, an accountability partner can make a big difference. In summary, Hatchpath hopes to enable people to take control of their health and lives through vetted, specialized coaching tailored to their needs.

Four Secrets to Healthy Weight Loss: A Doctor-Developed and Patient-Proven Formula to Burn Fat and Maintain a Naturally Healthy Body by Dr. Cody Golman, D.C. Donna Parker MFT https://amzn.to/3FvxT63 Fast40weightloss.com Are you tired of quick-fix solutions that promise weight loss but deliver disappointment? As a natural healthcare professional with two decades of experience, I know how frustrating it can be to navigate the maze of weight loss gimmicks. That’s why I wrote this book: to guide you through a balanced, natural approach to weight management. In this book, you will find scientifically-supported advice that aligns with natural healing principles. I’m not just the author; I’m your advocate and guide on this journey to holistic health. Get ready to embark on a path that respects your body, mind, and spirit. It’s time to take control of your health the right way. Here are some key points from the podcast transcript: Guest Dr. Cody Goldman wrote the book “4 Secrets to Healthy Weight Loss” based on his decades of experience helping patients lose weight sustainably. He explains that most diets cause you to lose muscle and water weight, not fat. When you cut calories, your body fights back by storing more fat. Secret #1: Determine if you want to lose water, muscle, or fat weight. Most people need to focus on burning fat. Secret #2: Understand if you’re a fat or sugar burner. We’re designed to burn fat efficiently but modern diets make many people sugar burners, which promotes fat storage. His Fast 40 program uses herbs and real foods to help reprogram your body to be a fat burner again in 40 days. Fasting and very low calorie diets tell your body it’s starving so it holds onto fat. Eating proper calories and nutrients is key. Quitting added sugar causes dopamine withdrawal, so you need support. Dr. Goldman provides daily coaching. Losing weight sustainably requires a lifestyle change, not a temporary diet. But it hugely improves health and quality of life. In summary, the book and Dr. Goldman’s approach aim to correct common weight loss misconceptions and provide a proven, doctor-developed formula to lose fat long-term by working with your body’s systems, not against them.

The Rigor of Angels: Borges, Heisenberg, Kant, and the Ultimate Nature of Reality by William Egginton https://amzn.to/3tKTVPy Argentine poet Jorge Luis Borges was madly in love when his life was shattered by painful heartbreak. But the breakdown that followed illuminated an incontrovertible truth—that love is necessarily imbued with loss, that the one doesn’t exist without the other. German physicist Werner Heisenberg was fighting with the scientific establishment on the meaning of the quantum realm’s absurdity when he had his own epiphany—that there is no such thing as a complete, perfect description of reality. Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant pushed the assumptions of human reason to their mind-bending conclusions, but emerged with an idea that crowned a towering philosophical system—that the human mind has fundamental limits, and those limits undergird both our greatest achievements as well as our missteps. Through fiction, science, and philosophy, the work of these three thinkers coalesced around the powerful, haunting fact that there is an irreconcilable difference between reality “out there” and reality as we experience it. Out of this profound truth comes a multitude of galvanizing ideas: the notion of selfhood, free will, and purpose in human life; the roots of morality, aesthetics, and reason; and the origins and nature of the cosmos itself. As each of these thinkers shows, every one of us has a fundamentally incomplete picture of the world. But this is to be expected. Only as mortal, finite beings are we able to experience the world in all its richness and breathtaking majesty. We are stranded in a gulf of vast extremes, between the astronomical and the quantum, an abyss of freedom and absolute determinism, and it is in that center where we must make our home. A soaring and lucid reflection on the lives and work of Borges, Heisenberg, and Kant, The Rigor of Angels movingly demonstrates that the mysteries of our place in the world may always loom over us—not as a threat, but as a reminder of our humble humanity.

The Soul of Civility: Timeless Principles to Heal Society and Ourselves by Alexandra Hudson https://amzn.to/3tGNRYu Alexandra Hudson, daughter of the “Manners Lady,” was raised to respect others. But as she grew up, Hudson discovered a difference between politeness―a superficial appearance of good manners―and true civility. In this timely book, Hudson sheds light on how civility can help bridge our political divide. From classical philosophers like Epictetus, to great twentieth-century thinkers like Martin Luther King Jr., to her own experience working in the federal government during one of the most politically fraught eras in our nation’s history, Hudson examines how civility―a respect for the personhood and dignity of others―transcends political disagreements. Respecting someone means valuing them enough to tell them when you think they are wrong. It’s easy to look at the divided state of the world and blame our leaders, the media, or our education system. Instead, we should focus on what we can control: ourselves. The Soul of Civility empowers readers to live tolerantly with others despite deep differences, and to rigorously protest wrongs and debate issues rather than silencing disagreements. A robust public discourse is essential to a truly civil society, and respecting others means telling hard truths. If enough of us decide to change ourselves, we might be able to change the world we live in, too. Provocative, personal, and acutely relevant, The Soul of Civility is an essential book for our era. Here are some key points from the podcast transcript: Guest Alexandra Hudson has a new book called “The Soul of Civility: Timeless Principles to Heal Society and Ourselves” about restoring civil discourse. Civility is about seeing others as moral equals and respecting their humanity, which can sometimes require breaking politeness norms. Incivility is a timeless human problem going back to ancient Egyptian teachings. We have a natural tension between self-interest and community. We need to move beyond surface-level politeness to have the hard, honest conversations required in a democracy. But with respect, not aggression. Local efforts like porching (sitting on porches together) can help rebuild community and trust across differences. Shared spaces and meals are powerful. Technology and busyness have made us more isolated. We need to rediscover the value of spontaneous interactions and getting to know our neighbors. Small everyday decisions to see the humanity in each person we encounter helps support human flourishing and civilization. Feelings of helplessness globally should inspire us to be more gracious locally. We have the power to be part of the solution through our daily actions. In summary, we can all contribute to healing society’s divisions by focusing on true civil discourse, community-building, and respecting the equal dignity of every person we interact with daily. Small acts of graciousness and connection matter. About the author Alexandra Hudson is a writer, popular speaker, and the founder of Civic Renaissance, a publication and intellectual community dedicated to beauty, goodness and truth. She was named the 2020 Novak Journalism Fellow, and contributes to Fox News, CBS News, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, TIME Magazine, POLITICO Magazine, and Newsweek. She earned a master’s degree in public policy at the London School of Economics as a Rotary Scholar, and is an adjunct professor at the Indiana University Lilly School of Philanthropy. She is also the creator of a series for The Teaching Company called Storytelling and The Human Condition, available for streaming as of May 2023. She lives in Indianapolis, Indiana with her husband and two children restoring their historic Italian renaissance style home, enjoying classic films, putting a new spin on old recipes in the kitchen, dabbling in water color, or reading a Platonic dialogue.

The Mass Killer: Six Case Histories That Tell Us Why by Gerald Schoenewolf https://amzn.to/473rfzt The United States as twice as many mass killings than any other country in the world. In 2018, there were 18 mass killings in one year. Many critics say it is the accessibility of guns in the United States that is the cause of the mass killings. But guns have always been available in the US, particularly since 1781, when the second amendment was passed granting citizens the right to own guns. But mass killing began to multiply at the end of the 20th Century and continued to do so into the 21st Century. People kill not because they have guns, but because they have an urge to kill. The urge to kill is brought on either by an emotional disturbance or a cultural disturbance or both. The urge to kill many people is brought on by an even greater disturbance. Mass killers are the products of dysfunctional families and dysfunctional cultures. The traumas of childhood and the frustrations of living in a dysfunctional culture lead to the eruptions of mass killings. This book probes the minds of mass killers and the meaning of their killings. It begins with an introduction to the psychology of mass killings, then offers six case histories of some of the most notorious mass killers in recent American history. It ends with a chapter on how to prevent mass killings. About the author Gerald Schoenewolf is a New York State licensed psychoanalyst, a former adjunct professor at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, an author of 30 books, an award-winning screenwriter and a filmmaker. He was born in Fredericksburg, Texas, a small town where everybody spoke German, and he came to New York at the age of 19. He has worked in New York ever since. His books include 14 works on psychology and psychoanalysis as well other nonfiction works; also nine novels and a book of poems and drawings. His book, “Jennifer and Her Selves,” was a top paperback seller in its first edition by Dell. His screenplays have won first prize in film festivals in the USA and the UK, and have been in the finals of several other festivals. He produced and directed two of his screenplays, “Therapy,” and “Brooklyn Nights.”
