We delve into the evolution of language, focusing on how historically suppressed women's voices have paradoxically set the precedent for future speech patterns in men.• The Influence of Women in Language Evolution: Valerie Fridland explores how women, often in the role of homemakers and primary caregivers, have historically led language changes. This phenomenon, termed "intimate diversification," demonstrates how children initially adopt speech features from their mothers, influencing language trends across generations.• Leapfrogging in Speech Patterns: Fridland discusses the concept of 'leapfrogging', where women are typically a generation ahead in adopting speech features. These changes are then passed down to their children, and eventually, men catch up, establishing new linguistic norms.• Gendered Speech Features: The conversation also touches on how certain speech features become gender-specific. Fridland explains how sociocultural factors influence these trends, leading to variations in speech adopted by men and women.• Sociocultural Dynamics in Language: The discussion further delves into how ethnic and cultural backgrounds shape speech patterns, particularly among young men, influenced by a desire for solidarity and group identity.➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.comYouTube: https://youtu.be/BfkjIlAjha4Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/success-story-with-scott-d-clary/id1484783544Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7iVUYI1XzbKPYKiS4HAltfhttps://twitter.com/FridlandValerie/➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclaryOur Sponsors:* Check out HelloFresh: http://hellofresh.com* Check out Justin Wine and use my code SUCCESS15 for a great deal: https://www.justinwine.com/* Check out Miro: https://miro.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this Lessons episode, we dissect the intriguing concept of "Hindsight Bias" — the tendency to believe, after an event has occurred, that we would have predicted or expected it. This cognitive distortion affects various aspects of our lives, from personal decisions to societal judgments. Let's unravel the facets of hindsight bias and discover ways to counteract its pitfalls.• The Hindsight Illusion: A dive into the story of a failed relationship that exemplifies how we reimagine past events to fit our present understanding.• Historical Recognitions: Even ancient philosophers like Seneca, Confucius, and teachings from Buddhism touched upon the essence of hindsight bias without naming it.• Societal Implications: Hindsight bias isn't just personal; it affects our legal system, business strategies, and societal narratives. Its influence is pervasive, from investors regretting not choosing the "obvious" stock to doctors feeling a diagnosis should have been clearer.• Countering Hindsight Bias: Strategies ranging from envisioning multiple histories, embracing a beginner's mindset, focusing on the decision-making process, reframing disappointments, documenting thoughts, seeking diverse perspectives, to rigorously assessing decisions based on processes and not just outcomes.• The Hindsight Horizon: A concept that captures how far we can objectively see into the past. Emphasizes the role of habits, behaviors, and practices that can either obscure or clarify our hindsight vision.Our Sponsors:* Check out Factor 75: https://www.factor75.com/* Check out HelloFresh: http://hellofresh.com* Check out Justin Wine and use my code SUCCESS15 for a great deal: https://www.justinwine.com/* Check out Miro: https://miro.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

He shares insights on the early stages of building Netflix based on quick, low-cost experimentation. Here are the key takeaways:• Iteration Mindset: Marc started with the vision of providing online movie rentals, but emphasizes beginning with small, incremental tests rather than overplanning. He advises trying lots of quick experiments and being willing to throw out anything that doesn't work.• Customer Discovery: Instead of making assumptions about customer needs, Marc speaks directly with prospective users to validate ideas. He highlights the importance of authentic customer feedback, even if it means changing directions.• Ruthless Prioritization: Marc suggests identifying the single riskiest assumption in an idea that must be tested first. Focus on quickly testing just that key element before over-engineering a complex product.• Low-Fidelity Prototyping: He used the simplest, fastest, cheapest tactics possible to test the Netflix concept, such as manually mailing DVDs to himself. Marc advises avoiding overproduction early on.• Willingness to Pivot: Once you start getting real customer data, you'll likely need to modify your idea. Marc emphasizes being flexible and pivoting based on experiment results.• Persistence Despite Failure: Marc notes most initial ideas won't work. Success comes from relentlessly trying experiments until finding something that resonates.➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.comYouTube: https://youtu.be/56MoLUKPJDsPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/success-story-with-scott-d-clary/id1484783544?i=1000571022992➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclaryOur Sponsors:* Check out Factor: http://www.factor75.com* Check out Justin Wine and use my code SUCCESS15 for a great deal: https://www.justinwine.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Distortions like all-or-nothing thinking, underestimating tasks, present bias, and time scarcity mentality can lead us to be unproductive without even realizing it.We'll break down how each distortion shows up in our lives, often sabotaging our productivity before we know what hit us. The goal is to help listeners identify which of these distortions impact them personally, so we can start challenging the unhelpful thought patterns head on.Even though some of these distorted perspectives feel ingrained, the truth is we can reframe our mindset around time with conscious effort. Our advice is aimed at helping everyone gain awareness of distortions, reclaim lost hours, and make the most of our limited days. By calling out the irrational distortions for what they are, we can take back control of our time and use it more purposefully.➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.com➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclaryOur Sponsors:* Check out Factor: http://factor75.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Oren offered unique perspective on establishing authority by demonstrating expertise around the buyer's specific problems.Our conversation explored how sellers often relinquish control by trying too hard to appease buyers. Oren stressed leading buyers through well-structured discussions focused on relevant solutions. He encouraged setting clear parameters early on, then giving autonomy back to buyers once the "sandbox" is established.Some other things we discussed were how to establish peer status right away, conveying deep technical knowledge to build certainty, and positioning ideas as familiar rather than radically new. Oren believes sales success comes not from pressuring purchases, but guiding buyers to see you as a trusted problem-solver.

Alain emphasizes that lasting change requires leaders to create a sense of urgency and self-awareness. Without a "wake up call," people tend to stick with what's comfortable.Alain outlines tactics for managing up the chain of command, which centers on aligning with superiors' goals. He advises positioning ideas as helping leadership accomplish their vision. This takes empathy, building credibility over time, and artful framing.We also get Alain's wisdom on his "three C's" of leadership: connection, communication and collaboration. He boils down that connection means showing people you care through empathy and reliability. Communication requires confirming understanding, not just stating ideas. And collaboration happens by meeting people's core needs - safety, energy, purpose and autonomy.➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.comYouTube: https://youtu.be/Z7qxvaenCIUPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/success-story-with-scott-d-clary/id1484783544?i=1000479531305➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclaryAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Viktor Frankl's teachings remind us that space between stimulus and response is our power to choose wise reactions.Though some are gifted EQ early on, it can be nurtured over time.

Today, Grant unpacks his signature concept - The 10x Rule.The 10x Rule, as Grant explains, is not merely a strategy but a lifestyle. He identifies four levels of action: inaction, retreat, average, and 10x action. Most people, he argues, oscillate between the first three levels that yield little satisfaction and success, but it's the 10x action that propels significant change.This episode emphasizes two critical elements: courage and massive action. Grant argues that 'average' action is the most detrimental, as it leads to a cycle of unfulfilling mediocrity. He suggests breaking free from average and embracing the 10x Rule by adopting risk-taking behaviors and a mindset of wealth creation.He draws on Elon Musk's work ethic as an example of the 10x Rule, highlighting the importance of risk-taking, big thinking, and unwavering dedication to massive action. Through the 10x Rule, Grant invites everyone to step out of their comfort zone and achieve extraordinary success.➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.comYouTube: https://youtu.be/ayiBhmT4PCAPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/success-story-with-scott-d-clary/id1484783544?i=1000475270739➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclaryAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Jack was full of real-life wisdom and candid advice, sharing nuggets he picked up from a doctor he encountered during a wellness retreat in India. The conversation revolved around three truths essential to a fulfilled life: first, clarity on what you want; second, understanding the path to get it; and finally, learning to bask in the joy of achieving it. Jack wasn't shy about his thoughts on our education system, pointing out that it doesn't really equip us for success in the real world, but rather preps us for an employee mindset, not an entrepreneurial one.In our chat, Jack also introduced us to his "Success Principles Workbook," a handy guide that captures 17 key life principles from his previous best-seller. The first lesson - accepting 100% responsibility for your life - struck a chord, especially in these times of COVID-19 uncertainty. Jack's powerful message was that our responses, not our circumstances, shape our lives' outcomes. He underscored the importance of keeping fear at bay, staying grounded in the present moment, and dreaming up a hopeful future.

We’re all about body autonomy in 2022, and most people would say that, of course, they own themselves. But what does that mean? What does it entail?In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, ‘we’ are no longer just flesh and bone. Our identities are intertwined with terabytes of data: our social media profiles, our search engine habits, our digital possessions.The food we order on Uber Eats, the books we borrow from Amazon, the music we stream on Spotify — all of it is collected and collated by corporations and governments in order to create a comprehensive profile of our likes, dislikes, and interests.This data is incredibly valuable. Facebook, Google, and other tech giants make billions of dollars every year by selling access to our personal data. Governments are also interested in collecting and collating our data, often for nefarious reasons.

In the corporate world of today, the definition of company culture has evolved to become one of the most important strategic assets a business can have. Culture is now understood to be a system of shared assumptions, values, and beliefs that dictate how employees behave both within and outside the company.It’s not surprising then that company culture has become an essential ingredient in the success or failure of companies.A strong company culture can help to attract and retain the best talent, inspire innovation, and build a sense of community and loyalty among employees. On the other hand, a weak or dysfunctional culture can lead to employee turnover, stagnation, and even disaster.

The work he does behind the scenes has helped his fintech company scale from three founders to almost 1,000 employees, and raise over $300M at a $2B+ valuation. Clearco is one of the top startups in Canada, a fintech company that uses AI to democratize access to capital. Charlie’s job is to build up teams and products, make them shine, and then move on to the next. He did this with nearly every team in the company, and he has had 7 titles in 5 years: he was Clearco’s first Head of Product, Head of Marketing, Head of Growth, of Finance, of Strategy, of Business Operations, and of New Ventures. His strategy has been earning dividends: the company’s headcount has more than doubled since the start of the year and is still growing. Clearco was just named #2 on LinkedIn’s Top Startups Canada, which looks at the ability to attract top talent--it’s the company’s third year in a row in the top three. Earlier this year, Clearco raised $215 million from SoftBank Vision Fund II, just weeks after a $100 million Series C round that quintupled its valuation to $2 billion.➡️ Show Linkshttps://twitter.com/charliecfeng/https://www.linkedin.com/in/charliecf/➡️ Podcast SponsorsHUBSPOT - https://hubspot.com/INDEED - https://indeed.com/successstoryLADDER - https://ladderlife.com/successstory➡️ Talking Points⁣00:00 - Intro03:41 - Charlie Feng's origin story.05:30 - The mindset required to grow your own business.08:08 - What is the traditional process to raise money for a startup? 12:28 - Risks you have to take on when fund-raising.15:46 - What was the vision or mission of Clearco?18:06 - How Clearco redefines term sheets.20:30 - Going from 0 to 1.21:13 - Startup growth strategies.23:08 - Finding product-market fit.27:36 - How do you know when you’ve found a proper product-market fit?31:32 - What is the difference between product-market fit and founder-market fit?33:57 - How to find the right team?36:32 - When is the right time to hire a team?38:26 - Lessons learned early in Charlie Feng's career. 44:45 - What are some things Charlie Feng encountered in his business?48:17 - Lessons for people who want to start their own business.50:00 - Where do people connect with Charlie Feng?50:25 - What was the biggest challenge of Charlie Feng's career?51:57 - Who is the mentor of Charlie Feng?52:57 - A podcast or a book recommended by Charlie Feng.53:42 - What would Charlie Feng tell his 20-year-old self?54:40 - What does success mean to Charlie Feng?Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

And while it may seem like Deborah’s success came easy to her, nothing could be further from the truth. Rather, she’s overcome a number of challenges in her life to get to where she is today but what is true, and a part of her character is her willingness to take risks, maintain a positive attitude, and never take ‘no’ for an answer.Deborah’s transition into the insurance world started off in the same vein – with a challenge to herself. By the end of her first year, she was a top producer, followed by ongoing years of membership in the Million Dollar Roundtable, Top of the Table, and as a contributing member in Leadership for Advanced Life Underwriting (AALU). Deborah’s clients have included movie studio moguls, celebrities, Fortune 500 leaders, and high net-worth individuals. Over the past two decades, she has lent her support to a number of nonprofits that make a difference in people’s lives, including Richard Branson’s Virgin Unite, Go Campaign, Operation Underground Railroad (#OURrescue), Cut50, Reform Alliance with Van Jones and in funding a school in Peru.➡️ Show Linkshttps://twitter.com/deborahdriggs/https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahdriggs/https://deborahdriggs.com/➡️ Podcast SponsorsHUBSPOT - https://hubspot.com/TRUEBILL - https://truebill.com/successstoryHELLOFRESH - https://hellofresh.com/successstory16➡️ Talking Points⁣00:00 - Intro02:40 - Deborah Driggs’ origin story.08:15 - Why do athletes make great entrepreneurs.16:40 - How to get into Playboy?19:16 - How much does Playboy pay?24:30 - Deborah’s Playboy career.32:30 - Current Playboy scandals & cancel culture.38:13 - Does canceling someone actually do anything positive?44:41 - Deborah Driggs post-Playboy life.49:52 - How to leverage your network? 54:41 - Why do people overcomplicate selling? 57:54 - Why do so many people fail in the insurance industry? 58:45 - What is Deborah Driggs doing now? 1:06:50 - What is some advice to overcoming negative self-talk? 1:14:00 - Where do people connect with Deborah Driggs?1:15:20 - What was the biggest challenge of Deborah Driggs's career?1:15:55 - Who is the mentor of Deborah Driggs?1:17:39 - A book or a podcast recommended by Deborah Driggs.1:18:37 - What would Deborah Driggs tell her 20-year-old self?1:18:58 - What does success mean to Deborah Driggs?Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

For those too young to remember, Blockbuster was a movie rental service with physical stores of DVDs all across the United States. The general American tradition back then was you rent a movie on a Friday and then give it back on a Monday. Back in 1997, Blockbuster was a billion-dollar company with more than 6000 stores in the US alone, having revenue of 391 billion dollars.But the problem was that 16% of that revenue came from late fees, which was annoying millions of its customers. One of the customers got fined an excessive amount of $40 in late fees. It annoyed him so much that he went on to start a company of his own. This man was none other than Reed Hastings, and the company he founded is what we know as Netflix today. Tweet Me: https://twitter.com/scottdclaryMy Newsletter: https://newsletter.scottdclary.com/subscribeAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Michael is an entrepreneur, speaker, lawyer and founder/author of The Lonely Entrepreneur. Michael is considered the founder of not only a company, but an industry – rewarding individuals for healthy behavior. Michael left a promising law career to start IncentOne, the first company to provide rewards for healthy behavior. At the time, rewards in healthcare were not only non-existent – they were offensive. He was told over and over “we will never reward people for things they should be doing to be healthy.”After bootstrapping for a decade, his company received a large private equity investment on October 15, 2008. Then the financial crisis hit. Ten years were gone in ten days. Bankrupt customers. Investment gone. Credit dead. Family dollars at risk. Angry investors. Family relationships on the brink. It would take two years of working 24 hours a day to save what took ten years to build. The perfect storm.It was doomed. Or was it? Today, health rewards are everywhere, he sold IncentOne to industry innovator Welltok and his company is credited with creating the health rewards industry. What resulted was not only a business success, but the discovery of a unique method on how to thrive under the pressure, chaos and burden of being the entrepreneur. The Lonely Entrepreneur was born.Show Linkshttps://twitter.com/michaelgdermerhttps://lonelyentrepreneur.com/Book Links (Aff)The Lonely Entrepreneur - https://amzn.to/39vlpfgShow Sponsor (25% Off Code: SUCCESS)https://getmr.com/Talking Points00:00 - Michael Dermer, Founder of The Lonely Entrepreneur00:55 - Career pivot, from law to founder.04:27 - Early retirement… what’s next?06:18 - Early entrepreneurial lessons.12:13 - Thinking like an entrepreneur.15:35 - How to get your first few customers.19:27 - Four traits of successful entrepreneurs.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

She is a regular contributor to Forbes, among others. In her forthcoming Not Done Yet! How Women Over 50 Regain Their Confidence and Claim Their Workplace Power, Marcus combines practical advice and exercises in a guide that has no shortage of sass inspiring readers to conquer ageist limitations and own their careers. In this revelatory, inspiring, and savvy new book, readers learn how to keep any job, advance their career and do work they love defying all the ageist assumptions that suggest otherwise. Despite advances made by women in the workplace, pay inequity and underrepresentation in top positions are still a reality in 2021.

Often, women over 50 face even greater hurdles to prove themselves despite talent and experiential wisdom to maneuver difficult situations with lasting impact. Acclaimed author, podcast host and sought-after coach, Bonnie Marcus, terms this “the double whammy of gendered ageism."
