Counting Money Is Making Money + High-Conflict Personalities
Podcast 41:42 | Download | Spotify| Stitcher | iTunes
Have you ever had somebody move through your life or business that takes up an excessive amount of energy? Constantly creates drama and conflict? Makes you feel like you’re walking on eggshells? Or even worse?
In today’s episode, Dan tries his best to be a psychologist (disclaimer: not really, but kinda) as he and Ian explore frameworks for identifying and dealing with people who have (what is now called) personality disorders.
They also talk about a sensitive topic for them at the moment: the state of their business finances, and what you can learn from their mistakes.
Lastly, in a throwback to the early days, Dan and Ian share their favorite “travel tips” as they prepare for summer in Europe.
“...a lot of what having a good life is, from my perspective, is not wasting your time, not getting caught up in problems, and avoiding people who could derail your ambitions. Sometimes it's a little bit harder than advertised because it can be subtle. So having a framework for anticipating it and avoiding it in advance before you get into any kind of problems, I think is extremely powerful.”
