Hustle & Flowchart: Mastering Business & Enjoying the Journey

Today we're bringing back one of our favorite episodes we've ever done. Today we're talking to Chris Voss, author of "Never Split The Difference," probably the best book ever written on negotiation. With the changes we've made in our business recently, we find ourselves in many more negotiation scenarios. Relistening to this episode has been huge for us, going into discussions that could have big money implications. Ever since recording this episode, we've changed our speech patterns and approached conversations differently. This is one of the most impactful episodes we feel we've done to date in terms of our own communication skills. We'd love to hear your thoughts about this one over in the community Discord.

Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to seek the best outcome in the negotiation Why you should not ask “Why?” and what to ask instead How to read body language and what to say to make them more at ease Routine questions Chris asks during negotiating What is tactical empathy and how to use it in your business The story behind Chris’ most memorable hostage situation How to improve your relationship at home Why you should not be 100% sure of what you want as your outcome What a hostage negotiation has to do with marketing and the takeaways you can use to come out ahead The three different types of negotiators References and Links Mentioned: Subscribe To The Hard Fork Media Channel  Join the Discord Community Matt on Twitter | Joe on Twitter Resources From Chris Voss: Never Split the Difference  by Chris Voss Chris’ Black Swan coaching group  The Rise of Superman by Stephen Kotler The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb Originals by Adam Grant Subscribe & Review To The Hustle & Flowchart Podcast Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of the Hustle & Flowchart Podcast!

A brief summary of this episode

For the month of January, we're rereleasing the most impactful episodes of Hustle & Flowchart. These are the ones that completely changed the way we think after we recorded them. Today, we're bringing back our episode with Mark Joyner. We recorded this episode in mid-2020, only a few weeks after everyone started being locked down. We dove deep into where to get your information and how to verify if the information is correct. This has become a more and more important topic as time has gone on because the world has changed so much and, still, people don't know who or what to believe. We also discussed how rapidly technology is changing and how you really need to be on the cutting edge to make it in the future. We'd love to hear your thoughts about these decisions over in the community Discord. Join us for free at www.HustleAndFlowchart.com/discord! Some Topics We Discussed Include: From being self-taught with no formal education to getting books published as textbooks How to go down the rabbit hole on a particular topic while not getting misled by the media Who can you really trust when watching the news? What is ‘The Big Five Phenomena’ and why it’s not necessarily a good thing Epistemological illiteracy and how it relates to your beliefs How the rate of paradigm shifts has constantly increased and what you can do to keep up What do Astroturf and Coco Puffs have in common? How to survive in this new landscape Untold secrets even with top-level CIA clearance  Why the future is in the hands of entrepreneurs and how you can be a part of it References and Links Mentioned: Subscribe To The Hard Fork Media Channel  Join the Discord Community Matt on Twitter | Joe on Twitter Resources From Mark Joyner: Your Roadmap To Money: A Cautionary Tale Of Hope (Free Book) Simpleology.com Our video interview with Mark Joyner Will Humans Become Obsolete In The Near Future? - Mike Koenigs Big Tech Will Crush Your Online Business (What To Do About It) - Rich Schefren Subscribe & Review To The Hustle & Flowchart Podcast Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of the Hustle & Flowchart Podcast!

This month, we're rewinding back and sharing some of the most impactful episodes we've ever recorded. These are the episodes that changed the way we see the world and business during and after recording them.

James has started 20 companies, 17 of which have failed.
