467. The Quest for the American Dream with Mark Matson
Episode 467
Monday, August 26, 2024 • Duration 45:52
The American Dream is still alive and well, and Mark Matson wants to make sure everybody knows it. Mark joins us on the show to talk about his new book, “Experiencing the American Dream: How to Invest Your Time, Energy and Money to Create an Extraordinary Life.”
Mark states that schools are promoting victimhood and entitlement, rather than hard work. He warns about seeing money as an evil thing, giving the example of his grandfather remaining poor his whole life because he held this view. He explains the American Dream is not an amount of money in your bank account, but rather a mindset about freedom that doesn’t exist in many other countries.
Mark also gives us a bit of investment advice regarding the S&P, Bitcoin, and even DraftKings. So be sure to stay tuned until the end!

366. The Power of Mentors (and Why You Need One Right Now) with Scott Jeffrey Miller
Episode 366
Monday, September 12, 2022 • Duration 50:39
To go far—in business or in life—you have to lean on the knowledge and experience of those who’ve been where you want to go. That’s what mentorship is all about.
Easier said than done, though. People are busy—especially successful ones. But what if we told you that you can find all the mentors you need without them even knowing who you are?
Scott Jeffrey Miller is a speaker, author, and podcast host with over 25 years in the leadership development industry. His new book Master Mentors Volume 2 is a compilation of thirty transformative insights from the greatest minds he’s had the honor to interview on his podcast. He’s learned not only what great mentors have to teach, but also how to put their insights into practice with what he calls “informal mentorship.” We discuss the ins and outs of mentorship, how to find the right mentor for you, and how you can be a mentor to others.
If you’re looking for some mentorship of your own, Master Mentors Volume 2 is a great place to start. Learn from thirty of the greatest minds Scott Jeffrey Miller has interviewed and kick your mentorship off right.

361. Achieving Promotable Productivity with Linda Babcock and Brenda Peyser of The No Club
Episode 361
Monday, August 8, 2022 • Duration 52:23
One of the four thieves of productivity is the inability to say ‘no.’
Whether it’s a deeply-rooted habit, a desire to avoid disappointing others, or the (often false) belief that saying ‘yes’ will make you look good as an employee, this is a trap that is too easy to fall for. But saying ‘yes’ to too many things can easily push out your own priorities.
Linda Babcock and Brenda Peyser are the authors of “The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-End Work.” They are going to share how everyone, women in particular, can get comfortable with saying ‘no’ to the work that doesn’t push their career forward while still ensuring that important work gets done.
If you want to sharpen the skill of saying ‘no,’ visit thenoclub.com where you can purchase the book, learn to start your own club, and more.

We talk about:
What inspired The No Club
Examples of non-promotable work
Getting comfortable saying ‘no’ (even when it’s scary)
Finding support and accountability for saying ‘no’
Creating delegation win-wins
How organizations can operate equitably

Climbing Mt. Everest. To some it seems impossible—and yet many have managed this amazing feat of human endurance. What is it that gives someone the drive to achieve the unimaginable?

358. Checking In and Recommitting to Your Goals
Episode 358
Monday, July 18, 2022 • Duration 36:20
It’s the time of year when individuals or organizations look at the goals they set for themselves and wonder whether they set the right goals or if the strategies they implemented to achieve them are falling short.
A goal should stretch you, which means you may not have absolute clarity on how to achieve it when you start the year. You may want to stick with that goal and challenge yourself to find new ways to achieve it. Yet as the year goes on you’ll learn more about yourself, or perhaps life circumstances will change—we’re all familiar with that over the past few years. So when is it okay to make adjustments to our goals?
We’re going to discuss what to do when your goal no longer feels achievable, or how to move forward when circumstances change. We’ll also talk about when it may be time to reexamine your goals and make some adjustments to be more in line with your current circumstances.
If you’re interested in setting up some accountability within your relationship, we are hosting our annual Couples Goal Setting Retreat to get aligned on what success looks like and how to keep each other on track towards achieving them. Visit the1thing.com/events to learn more.
To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/pods.
We talk about:
Questioning when you should change your goals
Using the 411 to guide your actions mid-year
The importance of reviewing your goals often
Having a conversation around your goals
Finding accountability for your goals
Giving yourself permission to make changes
