Navigating Gender Bias and Ageism | Bonnie Marcus - Author of Not Done Yet Scott D. Clary - Success Story Podcast 2024-10-13 | ➡️ Like The Podcast? Leave A Rating: ratethispodcast.com/successstory In this "Lessons" episode, Bonnie Marcus, author of Not Done Yet, discusses the challenges women face in the workplace, particularly the intersection of gender bias and ageism, and offers strategies to overcome these barriers for career advancement.Gender Bias and Ageism in the Workplace: Bonnie explains how women have long struggled with gender bias, but as they age, they face a "double whammy" of both gender bias and ageism. She highlights how women over 50 are often marginalized, excluded from key decisions, and seen as less valuable due to societal emphasis on appearance.Impact on Career Trajectories: Bonnie addresses the pressures women face to maintain a youthful appearance, including undergoing cosmetic procedures, in order to remain competitive in their careers. This need to "hide" their age, she argues, directly affects their financial security and career progression, as it often leads to job insecurity and fewer opportunities.Raising Awareness and Finding Solutions: Bonnie emphasizes the importance of bringing visibility to this issue, encouraging corporations to include gendered ageism in unconscious bias training and policy assessments. She shares practical solutions from her book and coaching practice to help women navigate these biases and for companies to create more inclusive environments.➡️ Show Linkssuccessstorypodcast.com YouTube: youtu.be/gl5WRS8_oSM Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bonnie-marcus-author-of-not-done-yet-empowering/id1484783544?i=1000513699463 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2Dm4DV77fgBzH47h1ph1rT?si=9daa22a8f91b42f2 ➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubeyoutube.com/c/scottdclary

Drawing on both personal and professional experiences, Eric outlines key principles from his book, emphasizing the importance of continual growth, learning, and resilience.Power-Ups for Success: Eric introduces the concept of "power-ups," which he describes as essential tools for personal and professional development. These include habits and mental models like second-order thinking and endurance. He explains that these power-ups, much like in gaming, can be collected and applied to enhance performance in life and work.Embracing Thievery and Iteration: One of the standout lessons from Eric’s book is the idea of "thievery," not in the literal sense, but in embracing the remix culture—learning from others and building upon existing ideas. He illustrates this with examples from companies like Apple and SpaceX, reminding listeners that success often comes from iterating on what already works rather than striving for total originality.The Apprentice Mentality: Eric underscores the value of the apprentice mentality—staying humble, being open to learning, and never becoming too confident in one's knowledge.

Scaling a Marketplace Through Founder-Led Growth | David Ciccarelli - CEO & Founder of Voices.com Scott D. Clary - Success Story Podcast 2024-10-06 | ➡️ Like The Podcast? Leave A Rating: ratethispodcast.com/successstory In this "Lessons" episode, David Ciccarelli, CEO & Founder of Voices.com, shares his experience in scaling a marketplace, addressing early challenges and strategies that drove long-term success. He dives deep into overcoming the classic "chicken and egg" problem of balancing supply and demand while highlighting the importance of founder-driven outreach.Overcoming the Chicken and Egg Problem: David explains how he and his co-founder tackled the critical issue of building both supply (talent) and demand (clients) for their marketplace. They took a balanced approach—David focused on cold-calling clients, while his co-founder built relationships with talent—creating a foundation for sustainable growth.Founder-Driven Outreach: David emphasizes the impact of personal outreach, particularly in the early stages. He shares the importance of making those initial, unscalable moves—like cold-calling 10,000 potential clients over five years—before transitioning to more scalable methods, such as online advertising.Do Only What You Can Do: A key lesson David shares is for founders to focus on tasks that only they can accomplish. Whether it’s leading the vision, training new employees, or engaging investors, founders should prioritize their unique value to the business and let others handle tasks that can be delegated.➡️ Show Linkssuccessstorypodcast.com YouTube: youtu.be/4C0y2Oho5mk Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/david-ciccarelli-ceo-founder-of-voices-com-how-to/id1484783544?i=1000542655132 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/64iCtTb3UGm6JneBNC0zMo?si=e717aa06e1fb437b ➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubeyoutube.com/c/scottdclary

Chris explains how specially designed whole life insurance policies can function as your own bank, enabling you to leverage your money and achieve financial freedom.Private Banking System: Chris explains how a private banking system allows individuals to save and borrow money simultaneously. By changing where you save, you can earn on both your savings and loans, turning your money into a powerful tool that works for you multiple times.Changing the Paradigm of Saving: Many people are conditioned to save in traditional banks or investment accounts, which often offer minimal returns. Chris emphasizes the importance of keeping your savings in specially designed whole life insurance policies, where your money continues to earn interest and dividends while being available for loans.Wealth Building through Compounding: The key to building wealth lies in the compounding effect of your savings. As you pay off debts and grow your policy, the amount of interest you earn increases, allowing for greater financial freedom and investment opportunities over time.➡️ Show Linkssuccessstorypodcast.com YouTube: youtu.be/nufTUI2pSEE Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chris-naugle-co-founder-ceo-of-the-money-school-how/id1484783544?i=1000575191675 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0CWd38KL9OeR4FDb9vOVBV?si=Ox0zfQzoQIuNJkjQchSNAQ ➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubeyoutube.com/c/scottdclary

Winning Strategies for Negotiating with Narcissists | Rebecca Zung - Narcissist Negotiation Expert Scott D. Clary - Success Story Podcast 2024-09-18 | ➡️ Like The Podcast? Leave A Rating: ratethispodcast.com/successstory In this "Lessons" episode, we explore the complex and often high-stakes world of negotiating with narcissists, guided by expert Rebecca Zung, a top narcissist negotiation expert and bestselling author. Rebecca shares her unique S.L.A.Y. methodology, emphasizing the critical steps needed to successfully navigate negotiations with narcissists, highlighting the importance of strategy, leverage, and a focus on self-preservation.The S.L.A.Y. Methodology: Rebecca introduces her S.L.A.Y. framework, which stands for Strategy, Leverage, Anticipate, and focusing on You. This step-by-step method is essential for dealing with narcissists, helping you develop a solid strategy, find leverage, anticipate their moves, and maintain focus on your own goals to achieve a favorable outcome.Understanding Narcissistic Supply: One of the foundational concepts in negotiating with narcissists is understanding "narcissistic supply." Narcissists operate in a survival mode, seeking validation and control. Rebecca emphasizes that traditional negotiation tactics won’t work—you must recognize that narcissists see the world in terms of allies and enemies, making it crucial to approach negotiations with this mindset.Ethically Manipulating the Manipulator: Discover Rebecca's concept of “ethically manipulating the manipulator,” where you find and exploit vulnerabilities in a narcissist's ego or public image. This allows you to shift the power dynamic and push for a resolution that meets your needs while minimizing the narcissist's desire to drag out negotiations for their own gain.➡️ Show Linkssuccessstorypodcast.com YouTube: youtu.be/aTgguqJjB0w Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rebecca-zung-narcissist-negotiation-expert-bestselling/id1484783544?i=1000581176466 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5EHQKgTdfr4fMCqcKeyRdt?si=5de5d674a38b40b8 ➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubeyoutube.com/c/scottdclary
