When is the last time you did a year in review?  For most people, it was not last year.  Fewer still do it as part of a consistent habit. This week,  I want to encourage all of you to conduct a 2019 year in review.  It does not have to be fancy.  It only has to be honest.  What did you accomplish?  Where did you fall short? If you write the truth, it won't feel 100% positive. Today I share my year in review as one way you can do it.  I broke mine into the following sections:  My Word of 2019 People I interviewed in 2019 Podcasts I Appeared On Workshops I Led Significant Failures  Ideas I Podcasted About Intangible Accomplishments  Looking Ahead to 2020 Organize your year in review any way you choose as long as you do it.  Email me  your year in review, or with any questions I can help you with.  I am proud of you. Can't wait to see what you accomplish in 2020. As always, thanks for listening! See you in 2020, --JF 

My guest today is obsessed with getting better. His website is his mantra. "Compete every day" says Jake Thompson, and he means it. In today's conversation we unpack the whys, hows, and whens of finding the competitor inside all of us. Buckle up for a great conversation. As always, thanks for listening! --JF 

This week I have questions.  One central question actually: When does collaboration help a project, and when does it hurt a project? Links mentioned:  YouthBaseballSchool Alumni Classroom "Ice Ice Baby" As always, thanks for listening! --JF     

My guest today is Buster Benson.  In addition to having a fancy alliterative name, he has written an extraordinary book, called "Why are We Yelling?  The Art of Productive Disagreement. You can find it on his website. How good is this book? Here's what former guest Seth Godin has to say about it: "This is a life-changing book. Read it three times and then give a copy to anyone you care about. It will make things better." Regular listeners know the weight that endorsement carries. In our conversation Buster shares questions you can use today to improve the quality of your disagreements while reducing the stress that comes with arguments.  We discuss the difference between being polite showing someone that you care about them while disagreeing, and much more.  Before I go, two announcements: 1. I have a new, grown up email address. Try it out: Email me at my new address! (Joe at onepercentbetterproject dot com) 2. I have been lucky to associate with great people. When I began this project, I had no idea where it would lead.  One place I am ecstatic that it led is here: YouthBaseballSchool A one-stop shop for baseball instruction.  I accepted an invitation to be a contributor, and I couldn't be more excited.  Please share that affiliate link with the baseball fan in your life.   I cannot thank you enough for all the support! As always, thanks for listening! --JF
