Max H. Bazerman on How to Overcome Complicity and Create a More Ethical World EP 215
Today I talk to Dr. Max H. Bazerman, the Jesse Isidor Straus Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School. Max and I discuss his new book, "Complicit," and explore the root causes of complicity, how it's enabled and how to stop it. What We Discuss with Max H. Bazerman While It is easy to blame obvious offenders, we rarely consider the many people supporting their unethical or criminal behaviors. There was a corroborating cast of people who were complicit: business partners, investors, news organizations, employees, and others. And, whether we’re aware of it or not, most of us have been complicit in the unscrupulous behavior of others. We explore complicity through the stories of McKinsey, Arthur Andersen, Theranos, ExxonMobile, and BP and learn valuable lessons on not only what creates complicity but our role in allowing it to happen. --►Purchase Complicit: https://amzn.to/3E5b5ck (Amazon Link) Full show notes and resources can be found here: https://passionstruck.com/max-h-bazerman-how-to-overcome-complicity/ Brought to you by Indeed, Masterclass, and InsideTracker. --► For information about advertisers and promo codes, go to: https://passionstruck.com/deals/ --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/tbgI2kwidmA Like this show?

What We Discuss with Juliet Funt Juliet explains why reinserting “white space” is vital in our days. This is the time when we can breathe, contemplate, prepare, and create. The name came from looking at the literal white spaces on a lightly scheduled paper calendar and discovering that those open blocks reveal how many opportunities that day could hold. To access it, you take a strategic pause. Stop what you are doing, and white space will rush in.

The Power of Forgiveness and 5 Important Ways to Forgive w/John R. Miles EP 208
In today's episode, I tackle the power of forgiveness by examining it through the lens of neuroscience and psychology. I then provide five powerful ways to forgive. If you're like most people, the thought of forgiving someone who has hurt you probably seems like the last thing you want to do on earth. This doesn't make you resentful—it just makes you human. Full show notes and resources can be found here: https://passionstruck.com/the-power-of-forgiveness-and-5-ways-to-forgive/. Brought to you by American Giant (get 20% off using code PassionStruck at https://www.american-giant.com/). What I Discuss About the Power of Forgiveness Forgiveness is difficult because evolution has taught us to avoid being exploited by others. One of the easiest ways to prevent exploitation is by retaliating or avoiding the offender. Choosing to forgive someone who has caused you pain can free you from the harm caused by others. However, unforgiveness can tie you to your past, stealing you of peace and joy. --► For information about advertisers and promo codes, go to: https://passionstruck.com/deals/ --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/dsgHPKg5qWA Like this show?

Jeremy Utley on Why Mastering Ideaflow Elevates Everything Else You Do EP 206
Stanford professor Jeremy Utley joins us on Passion Struck to discuss his new book Ideaflow: The Only Business Metric that Matters, co-written with Perry Klebahn. Brought to you by American Giant (get 20% off using code PassionStruck at https://www.american-giant.com/). Let's face it. We all strive for grand ideas, but very few truly comprehend how novel ideas are born. Innovation is not a one-time event, nor is it a sprint or a hackathon. It comes from the mastery of ideaflow, a technique that advances everything else you do. The simple fact is that ideas matter. That is why innovators focus on inputs instead of outputs. According to Jeremy, innovators don't obsess over quality, they develop quantity. Jeremy Utley is the Director of Executive Education at Stanford’s d.school and an Adjunct Professor at Stanford’s School of Engineering.

We are immersed in an era of smartphone obsession and digital addiction. I hear it all the time: “I can’t live without my smartphone,” or “I feel apprehensive when I’m not able to check my messages,” or “If I’m not on social media, I fear I’m missing out.” Not surprisingly, research reveals that too much technology use diminishes our physiological and physical health, human connection, our work performance and is destroying our relationships. Short of throwing your device away, how can you learn to build better habits around technology — keeping its benefits while minimizing the adverse effects? In today’s episode, I explore why smartphones are killing conversations and human-to-human connections we need to feel fulfilled. I’ll start by talking about a personal experience I had earlier today. I will then discuss why smartphones are negatively impacting our connections and provide five ways that you can break free from digital addiction. --► Get the resources and all links related to this episode here: https://passionstruck.com/5-ways-you-can-break-free-from-digital-addiction/ --► For information about advertisers and promo codes, go to: https://passionstruck.com/deals/ --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/avE-l31OS8Y --► Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the Passion Struck Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 Thank You, BiOptimizers and InsideTracker, for Sponsoring.

Brought to you by BiOptimizers (Get 10% off at https://magbreakthrough.com/passionstruck) and Inside Tracker (get 20% off the entire InsideTracker store at https://www.insidetracker.com/passionstruck). Have you ever wondered how best to harness your belief in yourself to succeed in any field? Dr. Nate Zinsser and I discuss why NFL quarterbacks like Eli Manning can rise to the moment and achieve peak performance. Why, whether your mission involves leading a platoon into combat, returning an opponent’s serve, or delivering a sales pitch to a roomful of skeptical prospects, how you can perform best when you are so sure about your abilities that your flow of fear, doubts, and confusion slows to the barest minimum. Dr. Zinnser has spent his career training the minds of the U.S. Military Academy cadets as they prepare to lead and perform when the stakes are the highest—on the battlefield. Alongside this work, he has coached world-class athletes, including a Super Bowl MVP, numerous Olympic medalists, professional ballerinas, NHL All-Stars, and college All-Americans, teaching them to overcome the pressure and succeed on the biggest stages. For the first time, Dr. Zinsser distills his research and years of experience in his book The Confident Mind, which is a complete guide to confidence: how to understand it, how to build it, how to protect it, and how to rely upon it when your performance matters most.

Dolly Chugh on How to Create a More Just Future EP 203
Dolly Chugh joins me on the Passion Struck podcast to discuss her new book, A More Just Future. In our interview, Dolly provides a frank yet endearing compass for "embracing the paradox" that America was built on the idea that all people are equal. Yet it was founded on slavery. Chugh interweaves lessons on structural racism, the patriot's dilemma, and settler colonialism. We discuss her study of good people and why we should stop focusing on being a good person so that we can become a better one. We explore the contradictions of US history and how we should learn to view them, connecting the dots between current events and the past. Dolly Chugh is a Harvard-educated, award-winning social psychologist at the NYU Stern School of Business, where she is an expert researcher in the psychology of good people. In 2018, she delivered the popular TED Talk “How to let go of being a ‘good’ person and become a better person.” She is the author of A More Just Future and The Person You Mean to Be.

Why Personal Growth Comes on the Other Side of Pain w/John R. Miles EP 199
Often times hardship halts even the best of us in our tracks. It becomes this heavy weight that stops us from becoming our best selves.

I will build upon this premise by discussing my own personal journey and how I experienced pain and grew from it.

Daniel Pink on Why the Power of Regret Can Transform Your Life EP 197
A significant portion of modern culture proposes that we live with no regrets. You may have even seen people sporting 'no regrets' tattoos. But what if that advice is significantly wrong and regret was, in fact, actually a helpful thing? That's the highly provoking question today's guest, Daniel Pink, poses in our Passion Struck podcast interview. Pink then answers the question using scientific research and two of the most extensive mega studies ever done on the subject, which validate that regret can be an incredibly valuable experience and powerful tool for creating a well-lived life. In fact, he argues that a life entirely without regret might even do more harm than good. With millions of copies of his #1 New York Times bestselling big-idea books sold, a renowned TED talk that has been viewed more than thirty-eight million times, lectures around the world, and the acclaim of everyone from Fortune 500 CEOs to Oprah, Daniel H. Pink has changed the way we live by changing how we think. His books have sold millions of copies, are translated into 42 languages, and won multiple awards. Today, we discuss Dan's newest bestselling book, The Power of Regret: How Looking Back Moves us Forward. -►Order a copy of The Power of Regret: https://amzn.to/3V2ayzh (Amazon Link) -► Get the full show notes for all resources from today's episode: https://passionstruck.com/daniel-pink-the-power-of-regret/ --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/eSgBIalV6pg --► Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the Passion Struck Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 Daniel Pink Discusses The Power of Regret: Have you ever wondered why regret is essentially about opportunity, and missed opportunities? Of course, some people have more opportunities than others. Does that affect the amount of regret they feel? Do people with more opportunities have more regrets? Should we use our regret more wisely or have less of it? How do we take advantage of regret without getting trapped in rumination? And why instead of running away from negative emotions, we should engage with them and use them to learn. And so much more.

Douglas Rushkoff on Survival of the Richest: Don’t Believe Their Mindset EP 192
Professor and author Douglas Rushkoff (@douglasrushkoff) joins me on Passion Struck with John R. Miles to discuss how human behavior has become controlled by technology, as the "Mindset" of the obscenely wealthy is pushing us towards a world where they scale money infinitely, resulting in a fractured system with enormous wealth and income inequality. Douglas Rushkoff is a professor of media theory and digital economics at Queens/CUNY. Named one of the world’s ten most influential intellectuals by MIT, he has been exploring, celebrating, and bemoaning tech development since the early 1990s. He hosts the Team Human podcast and has authored 20 books. --► Purchase Survival of the Richest: https://amzn.to/3S3YMTi What I Discuss with Douglas Rushkoff Today’s episode is a bit different from the ones we typically do on the show. Douglas and I will talk today about what the super-rich have termed "the event." Their euphemism for environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, solar storm, unstoppable virus, or malicious computer hack that takes everything down. According to Douglas, tech billionaires are preparing for this event by configuring their doomsday bunkers. But today’s podcast isn’t only about this, it is about the impact of the future of technology.

Seth Godin on Why We Need Systems Change to Save the Planet EP 187
Seth Godin joins the Passion Struck podcast to discuss The Carbon Almanac and why tackling climate change requires changing the system. One of the things that we need to understand about the climate crisis is that we cannot simply reduce our way out of this problem. We have a systems problem. And the system problem is very simple: carbon extracted from the ground in the form of concrete, combustion, and cows is underpriced. We have been stealing from our future by burning stuff way too cheap. -► Purchase the Carbon Almanac: https://amzn.to/3RFHTxE (Amazon Link) -► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/seth-godin-we-need-systems-change-save-planet/ --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/bSBxOB7Ii78 --► Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the Passion Struck Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 Thank you, Dry Farm Wines, For Your Support Dry Farm Wines Have No Chemical Additives for Aroma, Color, Flavor, or Texture Enhancement.

Understanding the Value of Time: The Wisdom of the Stoics w John R. Miles EP 184
How much is the value of time really worth? Carl Sandburg said, “Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.” In this Momentum Friday episode from the Passion Struck podcast, I tackle the value of time. I examine this by studying wisdom from the stoics on the topic and using ten of their mantras for managing time. Members of the Passion Struck community have asked questions like, "Why do I always feel there aren't there enough hours in the day to do the things I want to do?", "Why do I keep procrastinating?", "Why do I waste my time doing frivolous things?", Why am I constantly dissatisfied with where my life is going?" and many other similar questions. This episode is dedicated to answering them. This episode tackles how to figure out what your time is worth and use that information to spend your time more effectively. Learning how to get the most out of your time starts with knowing exactly what your time is worth. --► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/loneliness-is-not-a-joke-here-are-10-ways-to-deal-with-it/ --► Subscribe to My YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck.

Loneliness Is NOT a Joke. Here Are 9 Ways to Deal With It w/John R. Miles EP 181
Over the past few months, the growing chronic loneliness epidemic has come up repeatedly in my interviews on the Passion Struck podcast. Given its prevalence, I decided to devote this episode to addressing its significance. Loneliness is a human sentiment that is complicated and unique to every person. Because there isn't a known common cause, the consequences of loneliness and its prevention can vary dramatically. Anne Hathaway did a great job articulating her feelings about loneliness in the following quote, "Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I'm most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me." Her quote brings to life how differently we each experience loneliness. For example, a lonely elderly person who struggles to have people to talk to has different needs than a college student leaving home for the first time. In today's Momentum Friday Passion Struck podcast episode, I dive into what it means to be "lonely," as well as the causes and consequences of loneliness, and provide ten different ways to deal with loneliness. --► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/loneliness-is-not-a-joke-here-are-10-ways-to-deal-with-it/ --► Subscribe to My Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck.

People often ask me, 'How does making excuses impact intentional positive change in life?' In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” As cruel as that sounds, Franklin's words are closer to reality than we think. Until we stop making excuses, we will encounter consequences to living our lives with focus, purpose, and intentionality. Trust me when I say, making excuses is one of the worst things you can do if you desire to become your best self. --► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/how-to-stop-making-excuses/ --► Subscribe to My Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck.

Ari Wallach on Unlock Your Purpose for Something Greater than Yourself EP 177
In this episode of Passion with John R. Miles, I interview Ari Wallach about the Longpath mindset and how to unlock your purpose for something greater than yourself. | Brought to you by Indeed. Receive a $75 credit at: https://www.indeed.com/passionstruck. Ari Wallach is a futurist and the founder and Executive Director of Longpath Labs, focusing on the thinking and behaviors that will positively impact future generations.

What I Discuss With Ari Wallach The question we're asking ourselves, and we've continuously been asking ourselves for 1000s of years, is "Who am I and why am I here?" Suppose you are living a life that now has a purpose for something bigger than yourself. In that case, the immediate payoff is that you are now finding that the things that you do and the interactions that you have with yourself, your own inner voice with other humans, the things that you consume, and the ways that you vote, are no longer just about you. We explore the following topics: What is a “futurist”? What are the foundational principles of the Longpath perspective? What Ari means when he says “short-termism” What is “transgenerational empathy”? What are a few examples of the Longpath perspective at work today? Who are the biggest offenders of short-termism? What is the payoff for planning for a future we won't be around to see? Why does becoming the great ancestors our future needs built on intentionality Have any questions, comments, or stories you’d like to share? Drop us a line at [email protected]!

Why going through talk therapy opened allowed him to start to heal from his past. We then turn to the healing journey he has been on. Why he chose to report the incident to the police. We discuss the eventual trial and its ultimate verdict. We examine how his life has changed following the verdict and his advice to others on how to overcome abuse and trauma. And so much more.

What I Discuss With Dr. Kara Fitzgerald About How You Reverse Your Biological Age Through Lifestyle and Diet Choices Dr. Fitzgerald and I discuss how there is a link between aging and chronic disease, and it has everything to do with epigenetics and their effect on aging. Biological age looks at specific patterns of a key epigenetic mark called DNA methylation. These DNA methylation patterns can reliably predict how fast our body is aging. Methylation is as essential to our bodies as breathing and is happening in our bodies and within our cells all of the time. Therefore, if you can give yourself the DNA methylations of a younger you, you can reset your biological aging process. She provides key ways to do this throughout our interview that are based on her years of experience backed by clinical trials. Why do most adults spend the last 16 years of their lives suffering from chronic conditions and taking multiple medications? Why reversing biological age is key. Why it's epigenetics and not your genetics that determines your level of health and age How is epigenetic expression greatly influenced by DNA methylation? How do our diet and lifestyle choices impact DNA methylation? The results of her research and a groundbreaking clinical trial showed a reduction of biological age by three years. Why it is our daily choices and routines that add years to your life or reduce them Her diet and lifestyle program which increases healthspan and reduces your biological age. And so much more.

Vanas about the Warrior Within Drawing inspiration from Native American philosophy and tradition, D.J. discusses how The Warrior Within showcases a new standard of personal power in the face of overwhelming disorder. A genuine warrior is not the most formidable or most courageous person in the room. A real warrior is committed to self-proficiency, knows how to navigate life's transitions and disruption, converts setbacks into possibilities for accomplishment, refuses to give up, and most importantly, always fights for something greater than the self. How going through the Sundance Ceremony transformed his life and image of being a warrior. Air Force Academy experiences What a warrior is and what a warrior is not. What is the difference between a fighter and a warrior? Intentional desire to serve in the right way. The importance of each of us finding our own tribe. Why can't we be a warrior when we're falling apart inside? How can you apply the warrior spirit to overcome perfectionism? Why Humility is the great equalizer. Where to Find D.J.

Why We Fail to Take Responsibility for Our Life w/John R. Miles EP 169
People often ask me, 'Why do we fail to take responsibility for our choices?' In the words of Jim Rohn, "Either you run the day, or the day runs you." This illustrates how essential it is for us to take charge of our habits or inadvertently allow our choices to dictate our life. When we fail to act, we allow fate to control our lives instead of us owning our destiny. As I discussed in last week's episode, it's why mediocre choices lead us to be average. --► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/why-we-fail-to-take-responsibility-for-our-life/ --► Subscribe to My Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck.

What I Discuss With Abi Morgan About the Importance of Hope Abi Morgan explains, "If people took one thing away from my book, it would be hope. Hope you’re not alone. Hope that there can be joy again. Hope that you can survive something truly, leftfield. Hope that you can turn the world back upside down the right way. That’s what I would hope for hope." 0:00 Teaser and Annoucements 3:02 Introducing Abi Morgan 4:30 Nomadic Upbringing 8:47 Working with Merry Streep, Ralph Fines, and Carrie Mulligan 13:02 Abi Morgan's hit show The Split 15:30 Why Divorce isn't a failure 18:56 This is Not a Pity Memoir Overview 23:35 We all go through some kind of crisis 27:04 Why Abi felt like an imposter 30:03 Spending seven months in a coma 34:47 Delusional misidentification condition 37:09 You change your attitude towards mortality 40:08 Tiny superhero acts that were everywhere 44:57 The importance of hope 48:05 Analysis and wrap-up Where to Find Abi Morgan: *This is Not a Pity Memoir is Being Adapted for TV * The Split Can Be Viewed Now In the United States: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/abi-morgan-the-split-iron-lady-b2078275.html *Instagram: https://whttps://www.instagram.com/abimorgan9/ Show Links * My solo episode on Why Average Choices Lead to an Average Life: https://passionstruck.com/why-average-choices-lead-being-mediocre/ * My interview with Kara Robinson Chamberlain on how she escaped from a kidnapping by a serial killer: https://passionstruck.com/kara-robinson-chamberlain-be-vigilant/ * My interview with Jean Oelwang on the power of partnerships: https://passionstruck.com/jean-oelwang-what-will-you-love-into-being/ * My interview with Sara Mednick, Ph.D. on the power of the downstate and its impact on performance and health: https://passionstruck.com/sara-mednick-recharge-your-brain-body/ * My interview with Katy Milkman, Ph.D. on how to create lasting behavior change: https://passionstruck.com/katy-milkman-behavior-change-for-good/ * My interview with David Yaden, Ph.D. on self-transcendence, psychedelics, and behavior change: https://passionstruck.com/david-yaden-on-self-transcendence-experiences/ * My interview with Michael Slepian Ph.D.: https://passionstruck.com/michael-slepian-the-secret-life-of-secrets/ * My interview with Admiral Sandy Stosz on how to lead in unchartered waters: https://passionstruck.com/admiral-sandy-stosz-leader-with-moral-courage/ * My solo episode on why micro choices matter: https://passionstruck.com/why-your-micro-choices-determine-your-life/ * My solo episode on why you must feel to heal: https://passionstruck.com/why-you-must-feel-to-find-emotional-healing/ -- John R.
