Summary

Are you a smiler? Smiling turns out to be really good for you in a lot of ways. This episode begins with an explanation of some of the surprising benefits of smiling more often. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2011/03/22/the-untapped-power-of-smiling/#23fc80fc7a67 Why do we pay attention to some people but not others? What makes those people seem more credible? According to researcher Stephen Martin there are 8 subtle characteristics that make some people more credible and believable than others. Interestingly it has nothing to do with the message they are delivering. Listen as Stephen and I discuss this. Stephen Martin is a visiting professor of behavioral science at Columbia University and author of the book Messengers: Who We Listen To. Who We Don’t. And Why. (https://amzn.to/2MDAtej) Are you clear on what your priorities are? Do you have things you say you want to do – or things you start doing but somehow those things never get finished? If you would like to get a clearer picture on what your priorities really are and how to actually get them done, listen to my guest Charlie Gilkey. He is the founder of Productive Flourishing, (https://www.productiveflourishing.com), a website that helps people tackle and finish the things that matter – and he is author of the book Start Finishing: How to Go from Idea to Done (https://amzn.to/33t5dp6). Charlie has some proven ways to help you get to those projects – or let them go. Admit it, you’ve taken a drink straight from the milk carton - right? And when you get caught people probably told you that it was really gross. But how gross is it? Listen as I explore the science of drinking from the carton and what that does for the next person who drinks from that carton and also what it does to the milk. https://spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/we-debunked-the-5-second-rule-double-dipping-and-other-food-myths PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
