Summary

How does music affect your feelings and emotions? This episode begins by looking at some interesting research that shows how just the right music can influence how you feel. https://www.theregister.com/2010/06/21/mood_music/ Do you feel safe? What would happen if your safety was threatened - would you know what to react? Is your home an easy target for burglars? These are important questions you should ask yourself according to Spencer Coursen. Spencer is a nationally recognized threat management expert and author of the book The Safety Trap: A Security Expert’s Secrets for Staying Safe in a Dangerous World (https://amzn.to/3gtV5pp). Listen as Spencer outlines what you should do to keep you and your family safe and how to react if you are ever threatened. We all have systems for managing our time. Some of us do it all in our head, others keep lists here and there and others use electronic organizers. While it seems clear that any time management system is better than none, there are ways to optimize how you manage your time and workflow according to Maura Nevel Thomas. She is a speaker and productivity expert and author of the book From To-Do to Done: How to Go from Busy to Productive by Mastering Your To-Do List (https://amzn.to/3wzqYm2). Maura joins me with some great insight into making time management easier and more effective. How you perform during a job interview is obviously very important but it also turns out that the timing of the interview plays a role in whether or not you get the job offer. Listen as I explain what day and time you should try to schedule your interview. Source: Alan Price, author of Human Resource Management in a Business Context (https://amzn.to/3iHeDs6).
