Summary

There is probably something you are worrying about right now. After all, that’s what we do – we worry. This episode begins with some optimistic news about whatever you are worrying about https://www.huffpost.com/entry/85-of-what-we-worry-about_b_8028368 Advice on success isn’t hard to find. The problem is, there are a lot of different ways to become successful and you have to find out which way works for you. That is why you should listen to my guest Ozan Varol. Ozan has some interesting insight into what will make you more successful in whatever you choose to do it. Ozan is a former rocket scientist, lawyer, and professor and he is author of a book called Awaken Your Genius: Escape Conformity, Ignite Creativity, and Become Extraordinary (https://amzn.to/3Gx4qtl). If you could change any part of your personality, what would it be? Or maybe you are perfect just the way you are. Still, most people have at least one thing about their personality they would change, and the good news is, you can! That’s according to my guest Christian Jarrett a cognitive neuroscientist and author of the book Be Who You Want to Be: Unlocking the Science of Personality Change (https://amzn.to/40Y5BKD). When you want to pitch an idea to someone, perhaps you shouldn’t call it an idea. There is another word that tends to get people to pay more attention to you. Listen and I will tell you what it is.
