Dr. Mitch, host of the Truth Talks Podcast, joins Greg to explain why logic first and emotion second leads to better decisions, problem solving and leadership.
Dr. Mitch makes the case that the order matters. Step back, think it through logically, then let emotion follow. Start emotionally charged and try to add logic afterward, and the odds are not in your favor. He and Greg talk about why so many people stay stuck in a selfish version of I instead of asking where the other person is coming from, and Greg shares how he worked through the loss of his son Sam without curling up in a ball.
Dr. Mitch explains why roughly 90 percent of his own success came from raising his hand and asking for help, and why leaders are usually the worst at doing that. Along the way: what a craps table in Vegas teaches about getting hyped into bad decisions, the Navy SEAL who said if you focus on the six inches in front of you, you can walk a hundred miles, and how that same idea gets someone through the next six minutes without a drink. Dr. Mitch has spent nearly three decades studying the human body, behavior and mind, and his show tells the stories of people who found success through tragedy.
