    Podcast 1302: The Joy Molecule: How to Unlock the Power of Human Connection by Larry Kesslin

    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with serial entrepreneur and "Chief Connector" Larry Kesslin to explore his transformative new book, The Joy Molecule: How to Unlock the Power of Human Connection. Kesslin dismantles the traditional, box-checking definition of success that leaves so many high-achievers feeling hollow. If you’ve ever reached the summit of your career only to ask, "Is this all there is?", this conversation is your wake-up call. Larry shares the harrowing and humbling pivot points of his life—from a high-stakes engineering career at GE to a soul-stirring encounter with inner-city kids in Aspen—to reveal why happiness is fleeting, but joy is a biological and spiritual certainty you can unlock. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The Joy Formula: Discover the C2P (Conscious Connection + Purpose = Joy) equation and how it functions as the "molecular" structure of a fulfilling life. - Happiness vs. Joy: Why happiness is merely a "circumstantial feeling" based on met needs, while joy is an unshakeable state of "knowing" that remains even during life's storms. - The Three Essential Questions: How to clearly define what you are, who you are, and why you are here to bulletproof your identity against societal pressure. - The Ascension Ladder: A fresh take on human growth that emphasizes reaching "down" to help others and "up" to those who see what you don't yet see. - The Power of Presence: Practical insights on how meditation and "unlearning" your ego can shift you from a "walking resume" to a conscious being.

    Podcast 1301: Healing Leaders: 7 Steps to Recovery of Self by Raj Sisodia

    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with visionary thought leader Raj Sisodia to discuss his provocative and deeply personal new book, "Healing Leaders: 7 Steps to Recovery of Self." Shifting away from traditional business tactics, Sisodia reveals a startling truth: most corporate suffering is "unintentional," stemming from leaders who have yet to heal their own internal wounds. Drawing from his transformative experiences with indigenous shamans in the Amazon and silent retreats in the Himalayas, Sisodia explains how a leader’s "cracked open" heart is actually the key to a thriving organization. This conversation serves as a wake-up call for anyone at the top who feels the weight of stress and burnout, offering a roadmap to trade ego-driven tyranny for a leadership style rooted in love and wholeness. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The Price of Success: Why heart attacks are 20% higher on Mondays and how unexamined childhood traumas drive leaders to create toxic, high-pressure environments. - Healing vs. Suffering: Understanding the urgent imperative that if you aren't part of intentional healing, you are likely contributing to unintentional suffering within your team. - The Business Case for Love: Evidence that "Firms of Endearment" outperform the market by 9-to-1 by focusing on the well-being of employees and stakeholders. - Integrating Spirit and Commerce: How to move beyond the "head and wallet" approach taught in MBAs to include the heart and soul, making business the greatest healing force in the world. - The Hero’s Journey: How to navigate the conflict between "authenticity" and "attachment" to lead from a place of essence rather than a need for approval.

    Podcast 1300: The Purpose Factor: Extreme Clarity for Why You're Here and What to Do About It by Gabrielle Bosche

    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Gabrielle Bosche, co-founder of The Purpose Company and bestselling author of The Purpose Factor, to unravel a mystery that haunts everyone from college students to Fortune 500 executives: Why am I here, and what am I supposed to do next? Gabrielle reveals that finding your purpose isn’t about a "vague feeling" or "following your passion" into a dead end—it is a systematic, science-based process that can be reverse-engineered. After training over 120,000 people, including US military leaders and presidential campaigns, Gabrielle shares the "Purpose Factor" framework, a tool designed to move you from a "kid lost at Costco" to an individual with "unreasonable certainty" about your life's direction. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The Four Pillars of Purpose: Discover the intersection of your Natural Advantage, Acquired Skills, Pull Passion, and Origin Strength. - The "Passion" Fallacy: Why the dictionary definition of passion—a "barely controllable emotion"—might be the worst advice you've ever followed, and what to look for instead. - Turning Scars into Superpowers: How to identify your "Origin Strength" to see how your past struggles have equipped you with unique tools for the marketplace. - The Decision-Making Compass: How to use your specific "Fulfillment Factor" to filter life’s choices, ensuring you never waste time on opportunities that don't align with your core. - Purpose at Work: Why the "Come Join Us" economy is dead and how the new "Personal Purpose" economy is changing how we lead and get hired.

    Podcast 1299: Legacy: The Hiddens Keys to Optimizing Your Family Wealth Decisions by Richard Orlando

    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Richard Orlando, author of "Legacy: The Hidden Keys to Optimizing Your Family Wealth Decisions," to dismantle everything you thought you knew about inheritance. While most financial planning stops at tax strategies and trust funds, Orlando reveals why the true "hidden keys" to family success have nothing to do with money at all. He challenges the conventional wisdom that legacy is something you leave behind when you die, arguing instead that it is something you must actively live every single day. If you’ve ever wondered why some families flourish for generations while others crumble under the weight of their own success, this conversation provides the blueprint for a legacy that lasts. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The 5 Forms of Capital: Discover why "Financial Capital" is actually the weakest link without the support of Intellectual, Social, Human, and Spiritual Capital. - The Spiritual GPS: How to operationalize the "intangibles" of values, purpose, and faith to navigate complex family wealth decisions. - Life IQ vs. Financial IQ: Why raising "resilient problem solvers" is more important for heirs than teaching them how to read a balance sheet. - The Gravitational Pull of Wealth: How to prevent money from acting as a magnifying glass for family dysfunction and fear. - Living vs. Leaving: Practical strategies to shift from end-of-life planning to "Living Your Legacy" in the present moment.

    Podcast 1298: Be Ooh La La: Achieve Your Goals and Transform Into Your Best Self by Raphael Poirot

    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with the enigmatic Raphael Poirot, a man who bridges the gap between the precision of engineering and the soul of personal coaching. If you’ve ever felt like you’re standing on the edge of a massive breakthrough but find yourself paralyzed by the "Ooh" of uncertainty, this conversation is your flight manual. Raphael introduces his "Ooh La La" framework—a methodology born in French culture but refined in the high-stakes world of billion-dollar corporate portfolios. Why do some people soar while others remain grounded? Poirot reveals that it isn't about being the smartest person in the room; it’s about navigating the messy, transitional middle ground where most people give up. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The Ooh La La Scale: How to use this unique navigation tool to identify if you are stuck in dissatisfaction (Ooh), taking messy action (La), or operating in a state of high-potential flow (Ooh La La). - The ABC Model of Clarity: Why most people fail because they "romanticize" their goals, and how to define your current reality (Point A) and vision (Point B) while treating constraints (Point C) as invitations for creativity. - Energy vs. Activity: The "Space Suit" analogy for time management—learning which tasks are "slippers" (low value) and which are "space suits" (high-impact) to avoid burnout. - The X-Factor Test: Three critical questions to identify the one action that moves the needle, ensuring you aren't just "busy" but are actually building momentum. - The Power of Leverage: Why trying to transform alone is a recipe for failure and how to tap into other people’s knowledge and energy to accelerate your ROI.

    Podcast 1297: How to Live a Meaningful Life: Unlock Your Purpose, Joy and Flow by Bill Burnett

    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Bill Burnett, the Executive Director of the Design Program at Stanford University, to unravel the secrets of his upcoming book, How to Live a Meaningful Life: Using Design Thinking to Find Purpose, Joy, and Flow Every Day. If you’ve ever hit the milestones of success—the dream job, the impressive title, the paid bills—only to wake up at 3 a.m. wondering, "Is this all there is?"—this conversation is your wake-up call. Bill challenges the "impact mindset" that leaves so many high-achievers exhausted and replaces it with a designer’s toolkit for becoming "fully alive" on a random Tuesday. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The Meaning Reframe: Why chasing "impact" is a transactional trap and how to find true meaning in the "flow world" instead. - The Scandal of Particularity: How to experience ultimate truths like love and beauty through tiny, finite moments—like baking a cupcake or noticing a flower. - Achieving vs. Awakening: Practical ways to shift your brain from a state of constant "doing" and executive function to a state of presence and "becoming." - The Designer’s Mindsets: How to balance being "fully engaged" with being "calmly detached" from outcomes you cannot control. - Formative Community: Why you feel lonely despite being busy, and how to build a group centered around "focal questions" rather than just social entertainment.

    Podcast 1296: Pure Unlimited Love: Science and the Seven Paths to Inner Peace by Stephen G. Post

    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with world-renowned scholar and "founding member" of the show, Stephen G. Post, for a profound exploration of his latest work, Pure, Unlimited Love. Imagine a reality where the security and well-being of another is as real to you as your own—a concept so powerful it prompted the 92-year-old Dalai Lama to break his hiatus on writing forewords. From the biology of the "Giver’s Glow" to a chilling, prophetic dream involving a stranger on the Golden Gate Bridge, Post bridges the gap between hard science and deep mysticism. He reveals how "carefrontation" can heal toxic workplaces and why the key to solving our global polarization isn't found in politics, but in a spiritual "One Mind." If you have ever wondered if love is more than just a fleeting emotion, this conversation provides the scientific and metaphysical proof that it is the very fabric of our survival. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The Science of the "Giver's Glow": How kind giving biologically reduces inflammation, lowers cholesterol, and protects the brain from the memory-erasing effects of stress. - The Art of Carefrontation: A practical tool for "corrective love" that allows you to steer others back to their path with integrity rather than conflict. - Why Your Calling Finds You: The counterintuitive secret to purpose—why focusing on an "identifiable constituency" reveals your life’s work more effectively than soul-searching. - The "One Mind" Experience: A look into the research of remembered experiences of death and how pure love often serves as the "last thing you see." - Dignity in Disagreement: Strategies for maintaining inner peace and connection in an era of extreme cultural and political polarization.

    Podcast 1295: Spiritually Intelligent Leadership: How to Inspire by Being Inspired by Yosi Amram

    In this podcast, Greg welcomes back Yosi Amram, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist and CEO leadership coach whose background spans from an Israeli military sergeant major to an MIT and Harvard-educated tech CEO. His life took a radical, life-altering turn on a massage table when, after taking his first company public, he experienced a spontaneous spiritual awakening that "blew a fuze" in his mind. This traumatic catalyst—which led to him being pushed out of his own organization—inspired Yosi to pioneer research into Spiritual Intelligence (SI). He views SI as the critical missing piece for leaders who have achieved outward success but still face soaring rates of anxiety and polarization. Yosi's approach isn't about escaping to a cave in India; it is a "middle way" where the divine meets the boardroom to reveal the spiritual sparks in everything we do. He breaks down his award-winning framework of seven dimensions—including Grace, Truth, and Wisdom—to show how "ego-looseness" and intuitive leadership are not just feel-good concepts, but powerful drivers of massive financial performance and collective well-being. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The SI Advantage: Why spiritual intelligence is the essential evolution beyond IQ and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) for modern leadership. - The Power of Adversity: How profound struggles and "twice-born" experiences forge resilient leaders who lead from essence rather than ego. - Business Results of "Soft" Qualities: How cultivating trust, gratitude, and joy can double employee productivity and significantly improve a company's bottom line. - Mobilizing Meaning: Practical ways to align personal purpose with organizational mission to create a high-performing community. - Harnessing Intuition: Techniques to access "future-self" wisdom and trust your internal "truth meter" when making high-stakes decisions.
