8. Find people's unique motivating traits.
only if you have the discipline spell discipline 😂
@@TAGraham In that case you should have pointed out excellence as well, smarty
I always appreciate it when someone does the summary
Young men NEED companies that have strict discipline. The worst possible thing for a young man is unrealized potential.
Super crazy talented kids with crazy dreams but are stuck playing video games because it’s the only reinforcement they receive.
I know this because I was one of them. Thank you Sam. 💪 #totalman
It is called apprenticeship
Sam, the lampshade behind you is crooked. Please adjust it.
Great storys ! When you read some of those old adventure storys and how uncomfortable they must have been , its easy to sit in ac and work a bit more ! Thank you, great episode!
Sam: "I think we can learn a lot from how Rockefeller complimented people before correcting their mistakes."
Also Sam: "I think we can learn a lot from how they gave this one guy 500 lashes."
Maybe Lewis implemented the complement sandwich technique, if he didn't write about it in his diary how would we know? Ha
7:02 only seven minutes in, and I love this episode. Great solo episode.
how do you balance the conflicting notions of punishing for mistakes (louis) and giving praise before pointing out mistakes? (rockefeller)?
Literally reading Titan. Love the stories about how extreme polarity he had between his mother and father.
Fantastic episode Sam. We need more like these 🔥
Really appreciate your angle on learning here. Great picks and solid pod!
I read stories like this for the same reason! Also love historical fiction of the American West for the same reason. Just finished another one of Stephen Ambrose's books The Wild Blue about WW2 bombing crews. Perspective is so important. In modern America we live like most royalty lived throughout history (or even better). Safety, security, food at our fingertips, clean water, protection from disease.
Most awaited episode ...thank you!
Neat video. Key insights from each of the books mentioned:
=> Key Learnings from Undaunted Courage
- Punishment in leadership roles can be an effective strategy for maintaining discipline and setting clear standards for employees.
- As a leader, it's essential to acknowledge that every individual is unique and is motivated differently.
- Finding a personal product-market fit is necessary before starting a business venture.
- Understanding how each of your team members is unique and what motivates them is a key leadership skill.
=> Insights from The Operator
- The concept of a commander's intent is a useful strategy when planning and making decisions for your business.
- Developing clear and well-articulated outcomes can give confidence to employees and provide a clear path to follow.
- Finding inspiration and motivation can prove beneficial, even if the sources are unexpected or extreme scenarios.
=> Lessons from the Biography of John Rockefeller in Titan
- John D. Rockefeller became very successful as a leader who recognized the importance of learning a skill before leading a team or starting a company.
- Acknowledging the efforts of others and being appreciative is essential in leadership.
- Listening to others more than speaking is an effective way to gather information for decision-making processes.
- Correcting people's mistakes gently after complimenting them maintains their respect and their willingness to correct those mistakes.
I thoroughly enjoyed Endurance after hearing you recommend it, definitely checking out these as well
Brilliant video, thank you so much
Love this!! Thank you! 😊
Great summaries Sam!
This is awesome Sam, I appreciate your willingness to self deprecate… so many people online want to hide their insecurities and shortcomings but you are always the first one (Atleast from POV) that is willing to admit them.. you shared stories that have helped you through some of these difficulties.. you rock and thank you for the inspiration 😎
Solo episode… beautifully done
How did you get that episode of the The Bear so wrong? It's literally not about discipline at all. It's about him finding appreciation in the craft and in the act of service because now that he sees it through that lens, every detail began to matter, every role now had meaning, and each is important to whole, which helps him finally feel a sense of purpose. That motivates him because now he can bring that deeper appreciation of the art and his newly discovered purpose back to the restaurant he's helping to open. It's about him finding meaning and self-worth at a place he was previously feeling lost at and felt he had no place in what it was evolving into. This was not a guy who was afraid to show up and put in the reps - he felt he had no purpose.
Agree to disagree!
Sammmmmm- Lewis and Clark went to Oregon not California
Was looking quite a while for a episode where the guys talk about their actual first business/ background Storry. Can someone send me a Link/ tell the name of the episode - there has to be something like that
Have you read The Book of Five Rings and the Book of Family Traditions by Miyamoto Musashi? I like the Cleary translation. Lots of business lessons despite having nothing to do with business.
I'm always so curious to know what fragrances you guys use🤷🏽♂️😅
Titan
My Favourite business book
Awesome book
Whoaaaaaah 🎉
I enjoyed this a lot. This is my just my perspective but I'm not a big fan of the Hook/Intro. I've watched pretty much every podcast so I know that I will watch the entire thing when I click on the video. I will still watch and enjoy the podcasts even if there is a hook but it just annoys me a little. I understand if you decide to keep it, though. I will still watch everything. Just wanted to share my perspective.
I strongly agree with the views expressed in the video. My advisor shares similar perspectives during our meetings and has been featured in news reports, discussing these points in multiple interviews. Feel free to approach him with these questions using his name, Dan Price CFA.
I am very happy to have met my advisor Dan Price here, as an investment teacher, his professional ability is really outstanding. The portfolios he recommended to me helped me achieve my investment goals.
@@lucianoyt4631 Sorry for the interruption, can you share it with me, I need help very badly right now too.
Love the Poem, definitely going to learn it and hopefully apply it going forward.
Context is important. The man who was “disciplined” was an enslaved servant (some say he was promised his freedom after the expedition but didn’t receive it) which explains why he was whipped in front of everyone. This was inspiring to you?
let’s gooo
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The lees he spoke the more he heard
Why aren’t we all like that old bird?
Biographies/history books > “self-help” books.
It was 50 times, not 500, 40 lashes was considered the death penalty, most people couldn't survive 50, let alone 500, you should research before making crazy statements
discipline is great for lazy people who do not want to think where the line is - they're just told where the line is based on someone else's opinion. Imagine if your imagination has no limit, your abilities have no limit - where would the line be?
Normalize crushing others and being vicious af in business
Think before you speak boy that’s how you get toxic capitalism there’s a reason why monopoly laws exist imagine if there have been many lawsuits against Facebook for trying to monopolize social media can you imagine if such laws didn’t exist?
All information would be processed through Facebook even more than it is now, healthy capitalism needs to be promoted more not the garbage you speak.
Lol
It is thou ?
Imagine being in the top 1% earners in the world and being convinced to start being meaner to others based on a book where a dude whipped another dude 500 times
Yea, I definitely wouldn't want to work for a psychopath

Recap by Tammy AI
No.
Saw this first! 😂
I watch every episode. Please don’t do a solo episode like this again. It wasn’t very interesting
I honestly say thank you to validtrades because of how reliable this company and admin Macdonald has been to me
@CindyGuzman-xl5ui wow this is so great
