The Three Month Vacation Podcast Sean D'Souza

When you read a book about negotiation, it seems like you should be able to get exactly what you want. However, when you go out into the real world, your negotiating turns to custard.

In this podcast, we look at those three stages and see how they boost our negotiating power, without us doing anything extraordinary.

When we create information, we tend to think of a single book, a single article—and may I say—a single podcast. That system works fine, but there's a method that is far superior. It's called a series. Here's why a series works so much better and how to go about creating a series of series.

The biggest problem is that one stage is more deadly than all the other stages put together. It's the stage where we lose control because we are driven by outside forces.

Let's find out how we can look at chaos differently so that, in general, we have mostly wonderful days.
