Everything IS a negotiation and this episode with Chris Voss will confirm this. Understanding how to turn the tide in your favor before walking away from the table is key. It’s an art. And there’s nobody alive who’s better at it than Chris Voss. Chris was an expert hostage negotiator and began his work with the FBI’s crisis unit launching a 24-year career with the bureau, eventually acting as their chief international hostage and kidnapping negotiator. After retiring from the FBI in 2007, Chris turned his considerable talents for bargaining to the world of business, reasoning that if his skill set could successfully defuse international incidents, they might also be valuable for business-minded people to craft better and more beneficial situations for themselves, and their companies.This episode is filled with many stories and valuable tools that we can all use. Chris and I talk about the value of mirroring, why it’s better to be happy in a negotiation, how open ended questions are the killer ones, how the most powerful negotiators use plural pronouns, and so much more.

On today’s episode, we talk with James Clear, who is the Author of Atomic Habits. James focuses on habits, decision-making, and continuous improvement. He’s the Author of the #1 New York Times best seller Atomic Habits, a book that has sold over 5 million copies worldwide, has been translated into more than 50 languages and it is truly one of my favorites. We talk about the importance of developing systems and the right system to transform and create habits. How you do not rise to the level of your goals but rather fall to the level of your systems. James shares his own story with us and gives us great insight into how we can all establish habits that last.

In this week’s all-new episode of THE IDEALISTS. podcast, host, and entrepreneur, Melissa Kiguwa, speaks with Kara Goldin. Kara is the founder and CEO of Hint, a $220 million beverage producer of fruit-infused waters and lifestyle goods, offering a healthy alternative to sodas and artificially sweetened drinks. Melissa sits down with the former AOL executive and current “accidental entrepreneur” to glean her insights on what it takes to start a category-changing business from scratch, as well as to learn how other dynamic female executives and would-be entrepreneurs can tap Kara’s pragmatic leadership wisdom. In this enlightening conversation, Kara and Melissa explore how process, persistence, and the ability to have patience with one’s inner knowing, can help you ultimately make the right decisions. Highlights: Kara leads off the conversation with the need for training, process, and stability and what it means when an entrepreneur hasn’t experienced that grounding before building a company. “Process” may sound unsexy but there are so many ways it can prove empowering as you scale. As Kara reminds us, it’s not enough just to be a room full of visionaries. Next, she relates how a company’s culture is often set from the top and infuses the whole experience not only within the business’s internal culture but also as the organization attempts to build partnerships. People can tell when there’s an alignment of mission and culture. Building on that, she discusses how getting involved in the PFAS conversation became an unexpected turn into politics and raising awareness around water safety with Congresswoman Jackie Spiers and Vice President Kamala Harris. Lastly, she shares her parting wish, gained from her time at the Fortune Women’s conference and the Young President’s Organization (https://www.ypo.org). She hopes for younger leaders and would-be entrepreneurs to have greater access to stories, like those in her book, and to c-suite networks—so they can be emboldened to solve their own problems in building their businesses.Join the conversation about THE IDEALISTS. and break*through.

Kara Goldin is the founder of Hint Water and the author of the book Undaunted. Kara has worked for companies like Time Magazine, CNN and AOL. She had a bad habit during her time working in corporate America drinking diet soda. When she decided to kick the habit and turn to water, she felt better but found that plain water was boring. So, she spruced it up with fruit and after not being able to find a tasty no-sugar flavored water on the market, she started Hint with her husband Theo and the rest is history.
