FIND DONALD ONLINE Website: https://donaldrobertson.name/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donaldjrobertson/ QUOTES [00:06:25] "I realize that Stoicism was the type of philosophy that inspired cognitive behavioral therapy. And so everything kind of came together for me. I saw the connection between philosophy and psychotherapy and a particular type of philosophy that ended up spending the rest of my life studying. " [00:10:41] "Therapists and researchers developed what's called the cognitive theory of emotion, which says our emotions are shaped fundamentally by underlying beliefs or cognitions. And that happens to be essentially what the Stoics also believed 2300 years ago." [00:19:04] "The Stoics want us to reappraise our values so that we realize that our own faculty of judgment is really important and our own character is really important. " [00:20:18] "Stoicism and Socratic philosophy are designed to counteract the use of rhetoric, propaganda, emotional tactics that the media use in the same way that the sophists used to use them to manipulate crowds in ancient Athens, in ancient Rome. " [00:23:33] "But just asking in casual conversation, what makes somebody wise rather than smart, clever, shrewd by interesting conversation. That's the type of conversation that Socrates thought we should be having." [00:24:54] "Maybe wisdom consists in being able to look at what other people think is important and realizing that it isn't. And realizing that things that other people seem to be ignoring are actually much more important. That shift in our values changes our emotions or behavior or quality of life, potentially." [00:28:23] "Wisdom is the fundamental virtue of understanding the value of things. And then justice consists in understanding and to practice in terms of how you relate to society and your family and your friends and other individuals." [00:29:32] "Courage is a virtue that we require in order to overcome the passion or the emotion of fear and to master that." [01:12:56] "Marcus wants us to recognize our own imperfection and bias that's integral to Stoicism, to realize that we are creatures of passion. None of us are perfect. None of the Stoics found those claimed to be gurus of perfect."

FIND NIR ONLINE Website: https://www.nirbashan.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nirbashan/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Nir_Bashan QUOTES [00:05:42] "I wanted to be insanely creative, like some of my heroes and and I noticed that they had a technique, all of them a little bit different, but they all had some technique. And it turns out that that technique makes them no different than you or I or anybody listening to this podcast. And it makes them no different. It's all about coming up with that creativity and learning how to harness it and repeating it and pulling it out whenever you need." [00:08:32] "We live in a society in a day and an age where we can get data on just about anything...But what does it do to have that data? If we're not able to make that information work for us, it's meaningless. " [00:12:42] "We've gotten so comfortable in modernity that we're looking for problems that don't exist" [00:17:00] "A good company and a good person on a career path is armed with creativity to be able to solve problems as they occur in new and different ways. And that really is the most important thing that we can do today to become relevant and to stay relevant and to stay successful." [00:22:49] "I feel that quantification is just the mere act of assigning a number to something and that is just not good enough anymore. It's not." [00:25:51] "The numbers aren't really telling us all that we need to know. There's got to be a different way. There's got to be a new way to look at those things. And that way is creativity." [00:39:25] "Creativity is a component of our DNA and who we are. And in order for us to really be fully evolved human beings, I think we need to balance our analytical drive with the creative drive" [00:53:41] "Egos kill creativity, just like the self-doubt or perhaps even more. We develop egos when we think that we know what will happen and when we think that we have some advantage that other people don't have."

[00:32:56] What creativity means to Harp Nir Bashan: [00:35:06] Why you shouldn’t be afraid to ask “stupid” questions [00:38:12] The importance of being open and receptive and willing to wander off the path that you've paved for yourself [00:39:17] Emotional intelligence and creativity [00:41:04] Positivity and creativity [00:43:58] What questions can we ask ourselves when we’re coming up to a problem to make we frame these problems in more positive ways?

QUOTES [11:31] "Traditional economics says everything's cost benefit analysis. Reality is that that's not how it works. We are busy people. We have a lot of stress and we don't always make the rational choice." [16:47] "The there's no clear right or wrong choice with money that we all always know. There's always some uncertainty. And when uncertainty is in any decision, that gap gets filled by the emotional needs that we have. The need to feel like we're making the right choice. The need to feel like we've done the right thing. The need to feel good. And that's when we can be prone to make irrational decisions, because we go by our feelings and emotions. " [18:08] "I feel like marrying the data science with the people science is going to be like an incredible combination. To not just know where they're going and what buttons to push, but why why are people doing this?" [20:30] "When we pay for something, it stimulates the same region of our brain as physical pain.

FIND MAYA ONLINE Website: https://www.mayagrossman.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayagrossman/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mayagrosmn WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:14:38] The Owner’s Mindset [00:41:48] The influence formula [00:43:36] How Maya stopped a plane from taking off [00:45:08] How to tell stories with data [00:47:37] Talent stacking [01:00:55] The top five skills you need to survive the next decade [01:01:47] How to ace an interview QUOTES [11:37] "Invaluable is all about mindset." [12:39] "We've had research for more than one hundred years that shows us that career success is best predicted by soft skills. Seventy five percent of your success can be predicted by our soft skills and only twenty five percent by your hard skills or your profession. And even though we know this, there's so little information about how to actually acquire soft skills." [15:37] "You need to look at the bigger picture. You need to think like an owner, which means you want to make sure that you get the most out of everything that you do, and you spend the least" [19:32] "You need to understand that no matter how small your role is, you are part of a bigger machine. You're part of the company and your job is to make that company successful, however you can. And the minute you realize that, you're going to start seeing opportunities to do more and to help more and in most cases, that's going to give you more experience. You can experiment and see what you like, what you don't like. And it's also a great way to set yourself up for a promotion or for your next role." [24:12] "Because if you don't learn and you don't grow, you're basically moving backward. And it's kind of weird. Most people don't read a book after they graduate from college. As we grow up, we were being taught that you need to learn. So you go to school if you're like you go to college. But the minute that ends, there's no motivation to continue learning." [28:38] "It's not just someone who gets things done. It's someone who has the ability to identify a problem. They care enough to ask questions, to dig around, to actually take action when they come across something that doesn't work." [33:17] "If you're a lateral thinker, you're able to take information from different areas, different disciplines, different things you've done in your life, and apply them to come up with a very creative idea." [01:03:08] " I have 15 years of experience and my resume is not two pages long. So if you're early in your career, you do not need twenty thousand bullet points. Less is actually more."
