But people who can assume the best in others have one thing in common. And it’s so just nuts to me that, yes, it’s a great value.

I want to assume the most generous thing I can about your thoughts, about your actions and your words and your behaviors. Organizations, individuals want to say, “Listen, I want to assume positive intent.” Or as my mentor, Jean Latting, called it, the hypothesis of generosity. And one of the most popular values that we’ve seen in companies, I think it started in Silicon Valley and kind of washed over the globe, is this assumption of positive intent. And it’s a huge issue because I go into companies all the time. I’m going to read a chapter to you or part of a chapter to you from Rising Strong, which is the first book where I really tackle this. So, here’s how we’re thinking about the two-parter. I’m just kidding.īB: It’s always really fun to do this with Ashley because she’s a therapist. You know, are people really doing the best they can? Or more likely, are they trying to piss me off on purpose?ĪBR: I think they’re trying to piss you off on purpose. And that is the assumption of positive intent. And we thought we’d go out with a bang here on something that’s really important to us. So, you’ll be able to use some time to catch up. I know that I’m like episodes and episodes behind on my favorite shows and podcasts. We record a lot of podcasts, so it’s hard to keep up. So, this will be a good chance to catch up if you’re behind. You’ll be able to listen to everything on Spotify. I’m so grateful to every single guest we’ve had on Unlocking Us. He’ll lead with a nine, you know, and Ashley will do the… Then what do you say?ĪBR: “Smell the euchre.” But just to give Chaz some love, he’s not the only one at the table that will do that.īB: Oh, yeah, it is… It’s been so fun. If Chaz doesn’t get to bid because he doesn’t have a good hand, he’ll only do it about two or three rounds, and then he’ll bid on shit. We just need some cards.īB: We just need some cards, play some euchre.īB: Ashley’s not my euchre partner, however.īB: She plays with Ellen and who else? You’re usually just Ellen, right?ĪBR: I usually play with Ellen, and you usually play with Barrett or Chaz.īB: Oh, my God, Chaz. It’s like I’m just sitting at the table with y’all BS-ing. Like sometimes someone will call me and say something to me about it and I’ll be like, “Oh, my God, did I say that?” Because I forget I’m on a podcast.

And I have to say the sister series, Barrett’s not with us today, but our sister series have been probably among the most popular and downloaded of all of them.ĪBR: Well, they’re so fun. It’s just been so amazing to listen to the conversations and the power between the thought leader conversations is amazing. I got a little emotional right now just talking about it.ĪBR: I mean, there’s no shortage of content out there. What do you think, Ash?ĪBR: I think it’s been an amazing season and chapter, and I’m super excited to see what comes next.īB: It has been. But this is the end of a season, the end of a chapter.

I’m taking a little break, at least for the first quarter of 2023.

I don’t have a plan for a future podcast. These two podcasts will be our last Unlocking Us podcasts on Spotify. Before we get started on Living BIG, and we’re talking about boundaries and generosity, I have some news for y’all. Good to see your face.īB: It’s good to see your face, too.
