Extreme Listening: Jonathan Rivera on Why Disagreement Sparks Growth
"Change doesn't happen from leaders or the people with the most followers. It's sometimes the people with the most anonymity who create the most change." -- Jonathan Rivera, a minimalist and conversational activist. Jonathan uses a technique called “extreme listening”. Here, he engages openly with people he disagrees with to find commonality. Jonathan brings people together who have different mindsets to sit together at a table and share their perspectives. His mission? To encourage others to learn why someone’s unique experiences shape what they think and how they feel about certain topics and issues. It's not about focusing on differences, he says, but on common ground. One of Jonathan's most memorable experiences was meeting a politician he didn’t see eye-to-eye on. “Even though I disagreed with him on a lot of what he said, I was still able to find commonality and something we both shared a passion on. I left the conversation with a friend,” he tells Enough-ism.Learn more about conversational activism and extreme listening in this unforgettable episode of Enough-ism.

Namaslay the Workday: David Somerfleck on Mindfulness as a Business Strategy
"The ego can motivate you and propel you toward achieving objectives, but it can also be bad in that it can make you feel like I want to be a celebrity Instagram influencer.” David Somerfleck, digital marketing expert from DMS.Blue and fellow podcaster, is here to talk about the intersection of mindfulness and corporate. We also chat on how most businesses statistically will never make it, the benefits of remote work, how to build a better RFP, and the entropy of the greater American workplace model. David wants to inspire people to break free from life’s hamster wheel and live a life that serves you (one that’s not filled with distractions but with purpose and power). Many people, he says, remain trapped by hollow dreams of success. David — who believes Henry David Thoreau’s Walden should be considered essential business reading for leaders — says that when making business decisions, it’s about being connected to your higher purpose -- what you really want to attract for your life longterm -- rather than acting out of fear. We also mention: Elon Musk, Times of India, Yahoo, Google, Forbes, and (because we're both English Literature nerds!), George Orwell and Henry David Thoreau. --- Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/zayner/falling License code: RZBKS25VKRH3FS6V | CONTACT INFO: Can’t get enough of Enough-ism?
