We enter into negotiations big and small every day! Our ability to navigate these negotiations is often the deciding factor in us getting what we want or not getting what we want.

But just the thought of “entering into a negotiation with someone” can be uncomfortable or even intimidating. We picture ourselves stuck in a win/lose scenario that ends with us being a winner or a loser.

My guests today, the legendary Chris Voss and Alex Carter, have a very different view of negotiation. Chris Voss and Alex Carter have spent decades studying human behavior – Chris as an FBI hostage negotiator, and Alex as a negotiation trainer for the United Nations.

In this episode, Chris and Alex reframe negotiation as a skill we can use to achieve the best possible outcome for all parties involved. 

The best part? This skill can be learned, and in today’s episode, Chris and Alex share their best practices for becoming a master negotiator.

Let’s meet the guests!

Chris Voss is a former FBI international hostage and kidnapping negotiator. He is the CEO & Founder of The Black Swan Group Ltd, a company that teaches negotiation tactics and leadership training to individuals and companies. Chris is the co-author of the Wall Street Journal best-selling book Never Split the Difference.

Alex Carter is a professor at Columbia Law School and the director of Columbia Law School’s Mediation Clinic. In 2019, Alex was awarded the Columbia University Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching. She is also an internationally renowned keynote speaker and negotiation coach, working with Fortune 500 companies, the United Nations, foreign governments, not-for-profit organizations, and more. Alex is the author of the Wall Street Journal Business bestseller, Ask for More.

This week on YAP, we’re chatting with Jonah Berger, NYT best-selling author, full-time professor at Wharton University and a world-renowned expert on change, influence, and consumer behavior. 

Ever since he was a kid, Jonah had an eye for patterns and data. At age 7, he tested at genius IQ levels, AND he got near-perfect SAT scores in high school. His mathematical, detail-oriented mind makes him exceptionally aware of patterns in human behavior. 

Jonah is author of three books on psychology and consumer behavior, and two of his books, Contagious and Invisible Influence are New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers. He was named one of the top 30 leaders in business by the American Management Association, and one of the most creative people in business by Fast Company magazine. 

In this episode, Jonah tells us about how he first became interested in human behavior and what career opportunities are available in this field. We’ll learn why people are not like marbles in the sense that they cannot be forced to change; and why removing key barriers like reactance and endowment is what actually can bring about successful change in people.  

If you want to learn the way to change anyone’s mind and more generally bring about change in the world - this episode is for you!

What prevents people from taking that first step to becoming their own hero?

This week on YAP we are chatting with Donald Miller. Donald is an author, public speaker, and business owner, widely considered one of the most entertaining and informative speakers in the world. He is the CEO of StoryBrand, a marketing company that helps more than 3,000 business leaders clarify their brand message so their companies grow every year.

He lives and works in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife Elizabeth on their estate: Goose Hill. 

In this episode, Donald will share all of his philosophies from his new book Hero On a Mission. We will talk about Donald’s 4 characteristics: Victim, Hero, Villain, and Guide, and how we can choose which role we want to play. We will also dive into how writing a eulogy can help us get closer to our goals not by focusing on our death, but our life!

Sell the go-giver way by shifting your focus from getting to giving!

This week on YAP we’re chatting with Bob Burg, best-selling author, motivational speaker, and sales guru. 

For over 30 years, Bob has successfully shown entrepreneurs and sales professionals how to communicate their value and accelerate their referral business. For much of his career, Bob was known for his book Endless Referrals, but it’s his newest series The Go-Giver that has grown into a world-wide movement. 

The Go-Giver series contains 4 books which have sold more than one million copies, and have been translated into 30 languages. Go-Giver was listed in Inc. Magazine’s top 10 Most Motivational Books Ever Written and was on HubSpot’s 20 Most Highly Rated Sales Books of All Time.  

In today’s episode, we’ll learn why Bob believes you’re better off being a ‘go-giver’ instead of being an opportunistic ‘go-taker’ when you’re trying to gain influence. We’ll uncover the difference between influence, persuasion and manipulation, and gain insight as to why the best influencers pull others in as opposed to pushing them. And lastly, Bob will break down his five laws of success, as well as the law of the backdoor and how you can use these key aspects of human nature to your advantage. 

If you’ve been wanting to enhance your ability to influence and increase your success in sales, keep on listening!

Learn how Dave Asprey went from hacking computers to hacking his body!

Dave is the Founder of Bulletproof, a wildly successful coffee, diet, and lifestyle brand. 

He is also a four-time New York Times bestselling author, host of the Webby award-winning podcast Bulletproof Radio, and has been featured on the Today Show, CNN, The New York Times, Dr. Oz, and more.

Over the last two decades, Dave has worked with world-renowned doctors, researchers, and scientists to uncover the most innovative methods for enhancing mental and physical performance. And this leads right into what David is so famous for: being the father of biohacking. Dave has spent millions of dollars to take control of his own biology with the goal of living to be at least 180 years old--- pushing the bounds of human possibility all in the name of science and evolution.

In today’s episode, we cover Dave’s journey to becoming one of the world’s most famous biohackers and how he went from hacking the internet to hacking his body. We’ll learn why Dave thinks humans will start to live well into their hundreds and why he thinks it's ageist to ask people how old they are. Lastly, we’ll go through the health benefits of fasting and learn Dave’s thoughts on the most common fasts out there, like the 16:8 fast and the OMAD (One Meal A Day) fast. 

If you want to learn about biohacking straight from the source of where it all started - you’ve got to tune into this one.

The YAP team has dug through all of 2021's episodes and evaluated if common themes came up in our guest's responses. There were two core themes that surfaced. The first was understanding your purpose to clarify your priorities, and we cover that in today's episode. The second was using love and service to profit in life, which we will tackle next week!

Let’s rock the beginning of 2022 together by learning the secrets to profiting in life!

Have you ever wondered what goes through the mind of a hostage negotiation expert?

In this episode, we talk with Chris Voss, formally the FBI’s leading international hostage and kidnapping negotiator. Now he spends his time as an author, professor, CEO of the Black Swan Group, and teaching his Masterclass: Teaching the Art of Negotiation which shows others how to apply his learnings from international crises and high-stakes negotiations to the business world. Chris is regarded as one of the most influential negotiators of our time. He wrote the best-selling book, “Never Split the Difference,” which lays out actionable negotiation strategies and is known as the bible of negotiation. Chris joins us on YAP today to teach us how to negotiate as if our lives depended on it and become more persuasive in both our professional and personal lives.

In today’s episode, Chris shares his knowledge with the YAP podcast. He tells us about his journey from FBI agent to hostage negotiation and what specific negotiation tactics he uses and why they have been so successful. Chris covers the reason why giving someone a chance to start with saying “no” can be more useful than getting them to start with saying “yes”. We learn about the neuroscience behind why tactical empathy is the best way to diffuse a situation and get someone to say the magic phrase, “that’s right!” Chris teaches his 7, 38, 55 body language method and tells us that people don’t remember what you said, they remember how they felt. If you are looking to learn how to negotiate your way through any situation, you don’t want to miss this episode!

Sleep has always been our constant companion!

But what do we really know about its history and growth?

Today on YAP Snacks, Hala will talk about the evolution of sleep while sharing tips and tricks from professionals that we’ve spoken to in previous episodes.

Sleep is such a popular topic on this podcast because it’s ever-evolving. The more we learn about it the more we realize that the act of getting a good night’s sleep isn’t as simple as you may think!

So in this episode, we will be looking to the past to see how our ancestors treated sleep, the present to learn how it developed with our rapidly growing society, and then into the future to see what sleep technology has in store for us!

What we know about sleep is still expanding, but it's gone on an interesting journey… So let's get started!

Did you know that more than 30% of Americans struggle with their sleep?

In this episode, we are talking with Matteo Franceschetti, the Co-Founder and CEO of Eight Sleep, the sleep fitness company. Along with his obsession for athletic performance, business performance, and now sleep performance Matteo and his team are the pioneers of sleep fitness technology. 

Matteo has always been an athlete with an obsession with recovery and performance. After spending time as a securities lawyer and launching companies in the renewable energy space he rediscovered his passion for optimizing his body’s performance. He realized there was an incredible need for smarter sleep products and this was where the idea for Eight Sleep was born! Their tech enabled mattress, the Pod significantly enhances your sleep quality through thermoregulation. Over the course of the night, the Pod detects your changing body temperature via sensors built into the mattress and sends its data to their app to track all of your vital information. They have recently created their Pod Pro Cover, which adds their patented thermoregulation technology to your existing mattress. While Eight Sleep has already made huge strides in the sleep fitness technology industry, they have only just begun!

In today’s episode, we discuss Matteo’s journey to becoming CEO of Eight Sleep and what the future of sleep technology has in store for us. We cover the impact that sleep deprivation has on not only our health but how it has also caused billions of dollars and millions of working hours lost globally. Matteo also gives his insight into the future of sleep and sleep technology. During this conversation, we think outside the box and predict just how the future will change the way we look at sleep. 

So relax! And listen to how you can achieve a better night’s sleep!

Want to live your life with more intention?

In this episode we are talking with Marc Champagne! Marc is a creator, author, podcast host, and mental fitness strategist. In 2016 Marc co-founded the digital journaling app KYŌ once he saw a need for a digital guided journaling tool for people. After fast and immense success with KYŌ, he made the decision to end the business and delete the app permanently after realizing his business model wasn’t sustainable or profitable. 

In 2019 he created his podcast Behind the Human, which has since become a top 50 health charting show, where he talks to some of the greatest minds about how to live with more intention and presence. He created his own brand strategy business using his mental fitness theory called THRIVE, and has become an acclaimed mental fitness strategist through his work with THRIVE. His first book, Personal Socrates, “is an exploration of questions that shape the lives of legends and world-class performers—questions that have the power to change your life and work”, and is hitting shelves in October 2021.

In today’s episode, we discuss Marc’s journey with creating and ultimately ending the popular journaling app KYŌ and how that led his path to writing Personal Socrates. We also discuss Marc’s full-proof formula to getting unstuck, why journaling actually works, and the questions to ask ourselves to live with more clarity and intention. If you’ve been searching for questions to lead to inner change, keep listening!
