We Choose Our Responses & They Define Our Lived Experience w/ Yale Director of Emotional Intelligence Marc Brackett

Jordan Harbinger of The Art of Charm podcast and empire was on stage at a live event he was MCing in Las Vegas and he gave us his favorite Ziglar quote, and why. The quote? “You can have everything in life you want if you will help enough other people get what they want.” Then this is interesting, I had been taking our guests quotes and crafting a question around them and posting to the Ziglar Facebook page which has nearly 4.5 million fans. We get many, many comments. This time however, I posted to my personal page at agentkmiller. We’ve never gotten so many in depth, authentic comments. So much that it was really hard to filter through and decide what to bring you, as it was too much to share them all. On that note, you are welcome to friend me at agentkmiller on Facebook, as I’ll be posting a question around our guests’ ZigBomb every week. So what is the question I posted that provoked so many deep comments? I asked, “While the concept sounds all well and great, where have you had success or challenge in living this concept out? What concerns and/or feedback do you have regarding the statement? Be as raw and honest as you will.” And people were just that, raw and honest. I brought in my co-host Michelle Prince to talk through some of the comments.

You know Jordan Harbinger of The Art of Charm podcast fame and today he is back with us after our main interview in the last episode where we talked about social skills. In this show we are going behind the scenes with Jordan to look at his own personal development. Where is he strong, where is he week, what are his personal habits to help inspire HIS true performance? You will hear him talk about “leaving things better than you found it,” and being the guy people divulged personal things to, even if he wasn’t really wanting to hear it. He was very gifted in some social arenas as a kid, but clueless in others - like playing only boy playing a flute. He grew up as an only child and he has to remember he’s not the only person in the equation. It’s a great show folks. If you didn’t catch the first show, episode 489, make sure you get it, it’s truly significant. And if you get value, you know what to do, please leave a review in iTunes and let us know!

Back for his second time on this show, Jordan Harbinger, the rockstar podcast legend who hosts The Art of Charm podcast. Friends, “How to win friends and influence people” written by Dale Carnegie in 1936 is one of the all time business classics. You will find very few world leaders and influencers who don’t site it as a primary message that helped enable their success, just like Zig Ziglar’s “See You At The Top”. Jordan’s primary focus at The Art of Charm is social skills. Personal relationship skills. There is arguably NOTHING that impacts our lives for better or worse, than our social skills. Yet when and where are they taught? Nowhere unless you were fortunate enough to have parents like mine who had me read the book and took me to Carnegie Classes. In this show we drill down into the necessity and opportunity of social skills. There is nothing you have more control over, can take action on quicker and will produce greater results in your life. Period. Make sure you find Art of Charm where you listen to podcasts and subscribe, and you can check out all Jordan is doing at artofcharm.com. And when you get hit with a value bomb, please, let us know and give thanks to the Zig and the Ziglar Family by giving us a review in iTunes, it’s the best thing you can do for us.

Chris cites “Failure is an event, not a person” as his most impacting quote from Zig Ziglar. That quote comes from a longer quote of Zig’s, “Failure is an event, not a person. Yesterday ended last night. Today is a brand new day, and it’s yours.” We took that quote, and Michelle Prince in a recent Facebook Live talk, asked the listeners this question, “Who of you listening have had a failure in your life that led to something great?” There were over 800 comments during her talk and we pulled a handful to discuss in today’s show.

Chris Guillebeau leads and influences the world in nonconformity, travel hacking, business start up and now, the Side Hustle (his brand new book we dig into in show #486). But what about his own personal development story? In this show you’ll hear how Chris doesn’t like the term “balance”, he likes “alignment” and “seasonality”. Being grateful is a key goal for Chris. He worries about disappointing people and letting them down and is concerned about where he’s falling short. He’s not strong in details, follow up and building a company, but his strength is figuring out alternative ways of doing things and helping people fast track their process. His goals are not flexible, but the strategy or tactic are. He says, “I am a 100% introvert. My default mode is being by myself. I do events and look forward to them, but at the end of the night I need to go be by myself.” He talks about taking risks, but for him, only very calculated risks.

In show 481 we talked with Mark Sanborn, author of The Potential Principal. We asked him what his favorite Zig quote and value was and he gave us this, - What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. We then created a great, inspirational quote poster with that quote and posted it on the Ziglar Facebook page along with this question, If you understand the value of goals but have still not written them out for your life and desires, why? We got a lot of responses and picked out five we felt were highly relevant for everyone. Acclaimed Ziglar speaker Michelle Prince joins me to co-host a very real discussion on the struggles we all have with goals. Thanks to ZipRecruiter and Blue Apron for their support of this episode.

Joshua Spodek is a professor, astrophysicist, entrepreneur and about 20 other things. This profound conversation Kevin Miller and Tom Ziglar had with Joshua dissected a profound concept Joshua calls SIDCHA – Self-Imposed, Daily, Challenging, Healthy Activity. Ziglar fans have heard much about daily habits of success. But what came from this discussion was the healthy habit actions are far more valuable than the end result of that particular activity. We are talking about habits we do not HAVE to do. The daily habit of brushing your teeth, getting dressed, going to work, eating...those are have to habits. Healthy habits we do not have to do are things like morning devotions, exercise, journaling, working on improving a relationship. If we don’t do those things, generally nobody knows or cares and you do not have an immediate negative consequence. The power in doing those things is in choosing to do something you don’t have to do. Something challenging. Joshua’s new book, “Leadership Step by Step” – Become The Person Others Follow is unlike any other leadership book, as it doesn’t simply teach you leadership skills, it makes you take action and learn how to actually lead. Self-Imposed, Daily, Challenging, Healthy Activities. To grow into a leader, even if it’s simply learning to lead yourself!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
