    Podcast 1325: Leading with Gratitude: Eight Leadership Practices for Extraordinary Business Results by Chester Elton

    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Chester Elton to dismantle the "soft and fluffy" myth of gratitude and dive deep into his book, "Leading with Gratitude: Eight Leadership Practices for Extraordinary Business Results." Most bosses think they’re great at saying thanks; most employees feel completely invisible. Chester calls this the "Gratitude Gap," and it’s costing companies a fortune in burnout and turnover. If you're tired of "Seagull Managers"—those who fly in, crap on everything, and fly away—this episode is your survival guide for a more human, high-performance way to work. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn: - The ROI of a "Thank You": Why the strategies in Leading with Gratitude aren't just nice gestures—they are high-performance fuel for innovation and profitability. - The "Ten Nickels" Hack: A simple, physical trick to rewire your brain to stop looking for screw-ups and start seeing wins. - Avoiding "Toxic Gratitude": How to tell the difference between sincere appreciation and the performative nonsense that makes employees roll their eyes. - The Legend of the Gratitude Stone: A low-cost, high-impact ritual to build "emotional safety" even in high-stress, remote environments. - Learning vs. Blaming: How the CEO of WD-40 turned 39 "mistakes" into a multi-million dollar formula by changing just one word.

    Podcast 1324: Winning Ways for Living: Get Smarter ~ Perform Better by Kurt Krueger

    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Kurt Krueger, a true "Renaissance man" whose life story reads like an adventure novel—from record-breaking All-American swimmer and water polo coach to a high-stakes survivor of a 1977 airplane hijacking. As the author of "Winning Ways for Living: Get Smarter ~ Perform Better," Kurt shares how 45 years of researching peak performance led him to a startling conclusion: the ultimate "peak" isn't found in a trophy, but in a global vision of peace. Throughout this gripping conversation, Kurt reveals the "Peacemaker’s Miracle Meditation"—an elegantly simple practice he used to transform gang-heavy inner-city schools and transmute his own life-threatening experiences into a mission for harmony. He challenges the notion that peace is a passive state, instead presenting it as an active, creative force that can be scaled from a single classroom to the world stage. If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by the conflict in the news, Kurt’s journey from elite athletics to the Peacemaker Circles Network offers a radical, science-backed shift in perspective that proves "peak peace" is the highest performance level of all. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn: - The Science of "Peak Peace": How to bridge the gap between athletic peak performance and mental harmony using modern science and ancient wisdom. - The Power of Recognition: Why changing your vocabulary—shifting from "forgetting" to "remembering"—can rewire your brain for success. - Tactical Calm: A physical technique involving the thymus gland to stop the overproduction of adrenaline during high-stress moments like road rage. - The 90% Solution: Why the act of writing down a concrete personal vision of peace is the most transformative step you can take for your future. - Meditation in Extremis: Insights into how deep meditative states can provide clarity and the ability to help others even in the midst of a radical hijacking.
