SYSK Choice: The Survival of the Friendliest & The Quickest Way to be Debt Free

Your typical meeting involves people sitting in chairs talking. For many meetings, there may be a better way that yields better results. This episode begins by looking at why conducting meetings in an entirely different way can be more productive and rewarding. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/09/walking-meetingsat-linke_n_7035258.html?utm_hp_ref=business

I think it’s safe to say that people are generally friendly. And that’s for good reason. Being friendly is an excellent strategy most of the time. In fact, we are wired to be friendly. Joining me to discuss why this is so important is Brian Hare, who is a member of the Center of Cognitive Neuroscience, a Professor in Evolutionary Anthropology, and Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University and author of the book – Survival of the Friendliest (https://amzn.to/3jLQnmN). Listen as Brian explains why and how friendliness has been absolutely critical to human survival and it continues to serve all of us as we move through life.

“How are you?” How many times do we say or hear that in a day? Most of the time is just a quick and somewhat meaningless greeting. Still, if you would rather have a more substantial conversation, there is a simple way to alter the question, “How are you?” by adding one word. Listen to discover what it is. http://www.businessinsider.com/sheryl-sandberg-common-question-asking-how-are-you-interview-option-b-book-grief-2017-5

So many people are drowning in debt from credit cards, student loans and other forms of debt. With $78,000 dollars of debt, personal finance writer Jen Smith and her husband made a commitment to get rid of it. She joins me to explain how they did it in less than half the time they thought it would take – and how they actually enjoyed doing it. Jen is co-host of the Frugal Friends podcast (https://www.frugalfriendspodcast.com) and author of the book, The No Spend Challenge Guide. (https://amzn.to/2XaZnYZ).
