877: Rethinking Sales Mindsets, with Luigi Prestinenzi
Luigi Prestinenzi is the Founder and Head of Growth at the Sales IQ Global. In our conversation we talk about essential mindsets for sellers. I know, I know. This topic can make your eyes glaze over. But stick with me. Most don’t fully understand what mindsets are and how important they are for sellers. Most people think of mindset as determination or hustle. That’s not it. I call those attitudes. Mindsets are the lens through which people filter and process how they experience the world. And in this episode Luigi and I dig into some of the critical mindsets for sellers: growth mindset, open mindset, and a few others.

875: The Role of Business in Political Change, with Christine Lagorio-Chafkin
Christine Lagorio-Chafkin is a senior writer at Inc. Magazine. In this episode we discuss her recent article, "Business Leaders Spoke Up After the Capitol Riot. Will Their Voices Remain Strong?" and the response of the business community to the events of January 6. As Christine puts it, these dramatic events cause a real surge in activism among business leaders (or at least stop them from hiding behind a professional curtain of non-partisanism). So we dig into the issue of what the appropriate role of business is, or should be, in driving societal and political change. When the stakes are so high, is it possible for business to stay on the sidelines?
