Welcome, I'm your host, Greg McEwan. I'm the author of a couple of New York Times

best sellers, Essentialism and Effortless. And I'm here with you on this journey to learn

how we can use our precious time to make our highest contribution. Have you ever been

involved in a conversation where you or the other person's resistance started to go

up? Today I will share an interesting story, something counterintuitive I've learned, and

some actionable advice. By the end of this episode you will be able to turn resistance from

other people into open collaboration. Let's begin.

If you want to learn faster, understand more deeply and increase your influence, all you have

to do is teach the ideas in this episode to someone else within the next 24 to 48 hours.

This episode is sponsored by Factor Meals. The season is a bit ironic I think because on the

one hand it's a time that can be peaceful, rejuvenative, inspirational as it helps us to think about

higher, better things. And at the same time it can become reactive, it can be the busiest time of

the year and in that intensity. It can be hard to eat in a healthy way and perhaps you're looking

for a way to be able to eat a nutritious, flavorful meal despite being stretched a bit too thin. Factor is

America's number one ready to eat meal delivery service. So they can help you eat well for breakfast,

lunch, and dinner with chef prepared. Dietitian approved, ready to eat meals, delivered

straight to your door. So the advantages you can save time while still staying on track with the

healthy lifestyle that you're aspiring to the rest of the year while still tackling the most

important things in this season to do. So if you're looking for a more effortless way to be able to

cross meal prepping off your list, Factor can be a useful solution because you get to skip the

meal planning, the grocery shopping, the chopping prepping, cleaning up, and you get Factor's

fresh, never frozen meals. They're just delivered to your door. They're ready in just two minutes.
