    505. Transformational Leadership Principles Hidden in Dr. Becky’s Parenting Book (Part 1)
    May 19 2025
    This episode started as a parenting read and turned into a masterclass in leadership. After picking up Good Inside by Dr. Becky Kennedy, Jay found himself repeatedly thinking, "This is leadership." In the first of a two-part series, he explores the surprising—and incredibly useful—ways that parenting advice maps directly onto leadership. If you're mission-driven, leading a team, or simply trying to show up better in your relationships, these four lessons will stick with you: Two Things Can Be True, Know Your Job, Behavior Is a Window, and Connection Before Correction. Jay shares practical tools and reflective questions to help you take each of these ideas into your work life. And yes, if you're a parent too, you’ll walk away with some insights there as well. *** To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/pods. We talk about: Why “two things can be true” might be the most powerful mindset for handling conflict How knowing your job (and your people knowing theirs) clears the fog in the workplace Why behavior is a window, and what curiosity can teach you about your team Links & Tools from This Episode: Read: Good Inside by Dr. Becky Kennedy Free Resources Want to be a guest or share feedback?

  • 504. How to Rebuild Your Life After Losing Everything

    504. How to Rebuild Your Life After Losing Everything
    May 12 2025
    Sometimes the challenges life throws at us are bigger than anything we could have prepared for. In today’s episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Gene Rivers, one of the top instructors and true practitioners of The ONE Thing, to hear the remarkable story of how he and his family survived a devastating hurricane—and what they did next. Gene shares what life was like before the hurricane hit, how they made the leap from corporate careers into real estate, and what happened when they lost everything overnight. He walks us through the mindset shift that allowed them not just to rebuild but to aim even higher than before. Their story is a real-world example of what it looks like to face reality head-on, focus on what matters most, and turn clarity into action. We talk about how Gene and Rebecca rebuilt their real estate business from a garage, the simple but powerful strategy that fueled their growth, and why building relationships—not just making sales—was the real secret to their success. We also explore how the clarity they found during hard times helped them create a life centered around family, growth, and experiences worth sharing. If you've ever wondered how to stay focused when the world around you feels uncertain, this episode is for you. Gene’s story is a reminder that no matter where you're starting from—or starting over—you always have the power to take the next right step. Challenge of the Week: Take five minutes each morning this week to sit quietly, without your phone or distractions, and reflect on what’s most important for your day. Ask yourself: What’s the one thing I can do today that would make everything else easier or unnecessary? See if that simple practice starts to shift your focus and energy. *** To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/pods.
