    Scams You Might Easily Fall For & Mastering The Art of Deal-Making

    You might think that a good way to get closer to someone is to do them a favor. Yes, that might work – but there is another technique that is even more effective and takes less effort. This episode starts with an easy way to bond you with someone you want to get to know better. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-initiative/201605/the-power-merely-requesting-favor Scams and identity theft are a constant threat– and the scammers keep getting better and better. So, it is critical to understand what the latest scams are and how to protect yourself. Steve Weisman is an attorney who has been following the scammers and understands them very well. His website www.scamicide.com is highly regarded as one the best sites for information about scams. Steve is the author of a book called 50 Ways to Protect Your Identity in a Digital Age (https://amzn.to/3sonvav). Since it is very likely that you will be the target of a scammer, if you haven’t already been, you need to hear Steve’s advice. You probably have an idea in your head about how a negotiation is supposed to go. What you are about to hear will challenge that idea. Barry Nalebuff, is an entrepreneur and professor at Yale School of Management, and author of the book, Split the Pie: A Radical New Way to Negotiate (https://amzn.to/3pvOoYi). As you listen to our discussion you will get a new perspective on how to approach any future negotiation. Have you heard of the Baker/baker paradox is? It has to do with remembering peoples’ names - which most of us aren’t particularly good at. Listen and you will hear a simple way to help you remember anyone’s name the next time you see them.

He has been a member of the science and operations teams of several space missions and has written dozens of academic papers about planetary science.

    Fascinating Stories of Christmas Customs & The Art of Talking with Children - SYSK Choice

    Restaurants are crawling with germs. It’s not all the restaurant’s fault – where there are people, there are going to be germs. This episode begins with a look at the germiest things in restaurants that you may want to avoid touching or at least wipe down.   https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/19/germ-infested-areas-restaurants_n_2159281.html Christmas is chock full of customs. We travel home for the holidays, we wrap Christmas gifts, we eat Christmas foods, we sing Christmas songs, and the list of customs goes on and on. Joining me to explain why we have these customs and where they came from is Brian Earl. He is host of the Christmas Past podcast https://christmaspastpodcast.com/podcast/ and author of the book Christmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite Holiday’s Traditions (https://amzn.to/3FoB3bt). It’s a great segment for anyone who loves Christmas. Talking with children is different than talking to other adults – or at least it should be. That’s according to my guest Rebecca Rolland, a speech pathologist, Harvard lecturer, and author of the book The Art of Talking with Children (https://amzn.to/3Y2nYgd). You will want to hear this conversation if you will be spending time with children during the holidays. It will provide great insight into how to have wonderful conversations with kids that benefit them and you. You have seen the sign that says, “Buy one, get one free” – right? And while that sounds enticing, it isn’t always such a great deal. Listen as I reveal some retail psychology that you need to be aware of. https://www.businessinsider.com/7-way-stores-trick-you-into-making-impulse-purchases-2012-5?op=1 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

    How You CAN Change Other People & Some Interesting Science Explained

    Listening to music with air pods or headphones can damage your hearing. To prevent this, you need to understand the common causes of hearing loss.

Peter is a well-known consultant, coach and author who believes you CAN get other people to change if you do it right.

And as you listen to this episode, you are going to hear scientific explanations regarding everyday things in your life like plastics, old book smell and what makes a food a superfood. It’s interesting stuff from my guest Dr. Joe Schwarcz.

    The Surprising Toll of Life’s Daily Hassles & What Exactly is American Cuisine?

    How often do you clean your cellphone? Chances are you don’t do it often unless the screen starts to get a little gross. This episode begins with some interesting intel that will have you cleaning your phone much more often than you likely do now. https://www.statefoodsafety.com/Resources/Resources/the-dirty-cell-phone-25-127-bacteria-per-square-inch# We all face big challenges in life. Yet, when it comes to the things that really take a toll and wear us down, it’s the little hassles and frustrations that do the most damage. Your ability to handle the little things life throws at you is what determines the quality of your life, according to my guest Dr. Samantha Boardman, a clinical instructor in psychiatry and attending psychiatrist at Weill Cornell Medical College. She is founder of https://www.PositivePrescription.com and author of the book Everyday Vitality: Turning Stress into Strength (https://amzn.to/3szCZHB). Listen as she offers some extremely practical strategies to navigate the daily troubles we all face without letting them take such a big toll on you. Before you ever walk into an Italian, Mexican or Japanese, you already have a pretty good idea of what will be on the menu. Yet, when it comes to American food, is there such a thing as American cuisine? What do people in other countries think of when they think of American food? That’s what Paul Freedman decided to explore. And what he found is fascinating. Paul is a history professor at Yale University and author of the book American Cuisine: And How it Got This Way (https://amzn.to/3JjoO03). Listen as he reveals some of the history and stories that shaped what Americans eat today. Is being happy good for your health? The answer is yes, but not necessarily in the way you think. Listen as I explain what researchers found that will really make you want to be happy and stay happy. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/magazine/happiness-stress-heart-disease PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

    How to Get the Best Sleep of Your Life & How to be Gracefully Assertive - SYSK Choice

    For years, mattresses and pillows carried a warning tag that said “Warning: Do Not Remove This Tag Under Penalty of Law”. Although they have softened the language a bit, there is still a warning. So why does anyone care if you remove the tag on your own pillow? This episode begins with an explanation. https://www.livescience.com/33039-why-do-mattresses-have-do-not-remove-tags.html As important and natural as sleep is, it is a problem for almost everyone to either fall asleep or stay asleep at least some of the time. Fortunately, sleep is something that has been studied a lot. Joining me to share the latest research on how to improve your sleep is Aric Prather, a world renowned sleep scientist and author of the book The Sleep Prescription: Seven Days to Unlocking Your Best Rest (https://amzn.to/3OKZWC7). You may think you have heard all the sleep advice there is, but I assure you, you haven’t heard all of what Aric has to say. Listen and you could find yourself sleeping much better tonight.  What makes someone assertive? Generally, those are the people who seem to know what they want and are able to communicate it clearly. Most of us have been in situations where we wish we were more assertive and said what was really on our mind, but we just weren’t able to do it. Here with some advice for everyone who would like to be more assertive is Randy Paterson author of The Assertiveness Handbook: How to Express Your Ideas and Stand Up for Yourself at Work and in Relationships (https://amzn.to/3GNDJ4C).  Seldom does an employee complain that they get too much praise and recognition from their boss. The complaint is usually just the opposite. Yet if an employer is smart, he or she might want to be freer with praise and accolades for their workers when it deserved. Listen as I explain the benefits compliments and positive feedback for both employees and employers. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0048174 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

    True Stories Behind the Greatest Christmas Songs & The Downside of Renewable Energy

    How good are you at predicting how things will turn out in your life? How often have you said, “If only I get this thing, I’ll be happy...” or “If I lose my job, it will be a disaster…” . Generally, these kinds of predictions are wrong. Things often turn out much differently than we think they will. This episode begins by looking at why that happens. https://drhappy.com.au/2010/11/14/happiness-is-balancing-the-past-the-present-and-the-future/ Did you know that Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song” was written on a hot summer day? Or that Brenda Lee was only 13 when she recorded “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”? These are just a few of the things you will discover as you listen to my guest Annie Zaleski. She is an editor and music journalist who is author of the book This Is Christmas, Song by Song: The Stories Behind 100 Holiday Hits (https://amzn.to/3ZomPBn) Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels requires us to develop new sources of energy. While solar, wind, lithium batteries and other energy sources are often described as “clean” energy, they are not as clean as you might think. These alternative energies require metals and those metals must be mined and/or recycled – both of which which cause serious damage to the environment that you don’t often hear talked about. Joining me to explain why this should be a concern to every one is Vince Beiser. He is an award-winning journalist who has written for Wired, Harper’s, The Atlantic, and the New York Times and he is author of the book, Power Metal: The Race for the Resources That Will Shape the Future (https://amzn.to/3Vqw42v). People used to blink more than they do now. You see, when you watch screens like your computer monitor, TV or cellphone, you tend not to blink as much. And there are consequences to that. Listen as I explain the problem and what you can do to help your eyes - since you are likely not blinking enough.

    Seth Godin on Creating Your Best Strategy & How Beer Changed the World

    Why is the most popular pencil the # 2 pencil? What’s wrong with #1? And why are most pencils yellow? If you took an average pencil and drew one continuous line until there was no more pencil left – how long would that line be? This episode begins with some interesting intel on one the world’s most popular writing instruments. https://www.straightdope.com/21343238/how-come-you-see-2-pencils-but-no-1-pencils Seth Godin is one of those rare people who gets you thinking about things differently. Today, he joins me to help explain the importance of having a strategy – and how strategy is not the same thing as a plan or a goal. He has wonderful examples to illustrate how a great strategy can propel your success - including strategies from AirBnB, the inventors of the telephone and more. Seth Godin is author of 21 international bestselling books, he has given 5 TED talks and his latest book is This Is Strategy: Make Better Plans (https://amzn.to/4gbhZ14). Beer just may be the most important beverage in the history of the world – perhaps the universe! That’s what my guest Jonny Garrett believes and is going to explain. Beer has been made for thousands of years and by every civilization. It was the first alcoholic drink ever made and by all accounts it revolutionized the world in extraordinary ways. Yet beer is a delicate drink. Light, air and heat can ruin it in a matter of minutes. And many people store their beer all wrong. Jonny will help you correct all that. Jonny Garrett is an award-winning author, journalist, filmmaker and podcaster as well as the cofounder of the Craft Beer Channel on YouTube https://craftbeerchannel.com/. He is also author of the book The Meaning of Beer: One Man's Search for Purpose in His Pint (https://amzn.to/41cVtRg). Around the holidays, it can be very tempting to open new charge accounts because you can often get 10% off your first purchase. But there is a significant potential downside. Listen and I will tell you what it is. Source: Fred Rewey author of Winning The Cash Flow War https://amzn.to/49mH32Y PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!
