Welcome, everyone. I'm your host, Greg McEwan, and I'm here with you on this journey to learn,

to understand, so that we can make a higher contribution without burning ourselves out.

Have you ever been so busy addressing peripheral issues, but have that sinking feeling that

the real core of the issue is not being addressed? This is part one of a four-part solo series

on that subject, and the interviews will also be providing more insight on the same subject.

By the end of today's episode, you will understand that the seminal research, that is the first

empirical research that was produced on the distinctive difference between problem-finding

and problem-solving, and you'll begin your journey of improving skill in this essential area.

Let's get to it.

Now remember that the fastest way to learn anything is to take action on what you're learning,

so within five minutes of the end of this episode, do something that you can complete in one

minute to take yourself on a journey of learning. Call someone to talk about it.

Text somebody to say you'd like to have a conversation. Share this podcast episode with someone

else so that you can make the ideas live and therefore improve the life of business and the

business of life. 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, dietician-approved, ready to eat meals delivered straight to your door.
