In this episode, I share why Negotiating the Impossible by Deepak Malhotra stands out among these exceptional reads.Malhotra gives some excellent advice on negotiation, and he's earned the right to know what he's talking about. Maybe the things we negotiate in our lives aren't as intense as the geopolitical negotiations Malhotra has been through. But that's all the more reason why his insight can apply to us. Negotiation is all around us, from daily relationships to big business deals...2025-06-1604 minPlay the Long Game with Scott WozniakPlay the Long Game with Scott WozniakEp. 95: More Reminders, More DisciplinePeople assume I'm naturally disciplined, but I was famously undisciplined well into my 20s - performance improvement plans, boss lectures, the whole mess. But over the years, I've learned how to change things around. And this didn't happen alone. I took action and accountability, and implemented various systems of reminders through the rhythms of my life. And with more reminders came more discipline. I'll share how this system transformed my own discipline, and how implementing a similar system can transform yours too.---P.S.: If you have a...2025-06-0230 minPlay the Long Game with Scott WozniakPlay the Long Game with Scott WozniakEp. 94: Two Ways to Become AwesomeI'm in a lifelong pursuit to become awesome -- not 'better than everyone else' awesome, but truly living an epic, adventurous life.

When you have one without the other, you just end up frustrated.Most people I meet get stuck when they either can't see their options, or they see them but can't act on them. The solution isn't about positive thinking or grinding harder -- it's about systematically building both clarity and agency.Here's the catch: freedom itself isn't the point. Don't just get free -- find something worth spending that freedom on.---...2025-05-0529 minPlay the Long Game with Scott WozniakPlay the Long Game with Scott WozniakEp. 92: Exceptional Places, Exceptional People, and Exceptional AttemptsYou don't have to spend your life being a spectator of greatness.
