Truly objective perception isn’t just difficult, it’s nearly impossible. That means everyday, despite your best efforts, people will interpret your actions, words, and behaviors differently than you intended.
It’s the same reason why there are Michelin star restaurants certain people love and others hate; Nobel prize winners some revere and others think are a hack.
While we can’t control people’s perceptions, the more we understand them, the more we can influence them…
Today’s episode is all about acknowledging and appreciating the multitude of factors that affect perception so we can bridge the gap with our communication and work to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.
We cover:
- The 8+ variables affecting perception & how to identify them
- The ONLY tool that can help bridge a perceptual gap
- The Better Than Average Effect + Theory of Mind: why they matter
- Two ESSENTIAL questions to ask when you’ve been misunderstood
As mentioned in this episode, if you’re looking for more reading on perception, check out this previously redacted article: Mokusatsu: One Word, Two Meanings.

You’ve been fantasizing about quitting or changing jobs for months and now you’re ready; Making that leap doesn’t scare you, it excites you. The thought of creating something from nothing or joining a team that’s building something from the ground up has driven you to go from fantasizing to finally pulling the trigger. But there is one thing about quitting the job that puts butterflies in your stomach and gives you pause…
Convincing your spouse that now is the time.
In today's episode, we’ll break down this uncomfortable conversation and give you a simple framework so you can have a more productive discussion with your partner.
Liz, Brett’s wife, also joins the podcast and interjects her real-life feelings and experiences from when Brett had this conversation with her.
You’ll learn:

How to formulate the conversation to relate to your spouse's experiences
-
How to time the conversation so it doesn’t come as a surprise to your spouse

It’s easy to let circumstances and self-doubt get in the way of our desires. But it’s not just our desires at risk- self doubt could be holding us back from creating change, advancing in our career or worse, getting in the way of our relationships.
Today’s guest Amira Mansour helps us understand that to create change you don’t have to get rid of the negative voice inside your head but rather recognize and reframe our thinking before it gets louder.
Amira is a communication coach and conflict expert based in the UK who obtained her law degree and spent the first 12 years of her professional life in the corporate world before making the jump to starting her own coaching business.
Like many coaches, Amira found her calling because of the adversities she’s had to overcome.
In this episode we discuss:
- How going out on your own starts with a conversation with yourself
- Creating self-value from negative self-talk
- Impostor syndrome: How you can be the expert but still have something to work on
- And much more…

Why would someone continue to believe a false or inaccurate idea when you are presenting them with plenty of facts and logic? You could not have presented your points more clearly!
Your rationale is sound but perhaps it’s not the lack of supporting evidence failing to shift their point of view, but rather how you presented it…
On today’s episode, Brett is joined by Ali Kershner in-studio for a deep dive into the tactics that will help you get your point across more effectively and give you the best chance to change their behavior.
Grab a pen and a notebook because this episode is hands-on and loaded with tactical information and strategies you can implement at work, home and anywhere you deal with people.
You'll learn:
- How to identify the areas you’re stubborn in and need to change
- The different types of persuasion and the impact of each
- How time can impact a person's decision making
- Gaining perspective through role playing

These days there’s no shortage of well-meaning leadership, relationship, and financial advice. It seems at every turn we’re reminded, “Winners never quit”, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”, and “You have two ears and one mouth for a reason”.
...And while some sound pleasantly helpful, there are times this guidance is total B.S.
On today’s show we take a stab at debunking and/or playing devil’s advocate with some of the cliché advice we blindly accept so we can better decide what’s worth following, what’s worth ignoring and what just needs an update?
Get ready, hot takes aplenty in this one!

The most dangerous phrase in any organization is “because that’s how we’ve always done it”. It’s the utterance of those scared of change, unwilling to think laterally, and clinging desperately to their comfort zone. Any true leader knows that in today’s rapidly evolving world, those who last will be those who adapt- plain and simple.
As hard as change may be, imagine trying to implement it at the ground level of an organization steeped in tradition and hierarchy like the Army. That’s what today’s guest Captain Anna Zamora is trying to do; Not only has she been tasked with implementing a new culture surrounding soldier health and wellness, she has had to prove the viability of the program to those around her and above her.
Captain Anna Zamora was a D1 strength coach from 2010-2020 with stops at Duke, Yale, UConn, Penn State, and DePaul. She’s been a member of the Army National Guard since 2010 and is currently a CPT of medical services and National Guard Director H2F at the National Guard Bureau in Arlington, VA. *You can find the rest of her bio below*
We cover:
- Navigating micropolitics, power dynamics and stakeholders at work
- How to promote change & influence senior leadership in your organization
- A breakdown of how to design and use role-playing drills (and a live example!)
- Strategies to make your first 100 days at a new job more successful
