Lance Furiyama joins us to champion the raw power of communication, where frankness can unexpectedly cut through noise and foster effectiveness. We navigate the origins of Lance's forthright style, deeply rooted in the unadorned cadences of Pigeon English, and unpack how a touch of authenticity can make for compelling conversations.

This episode also serves as your compass in the complex terrain of radical candor, guiding you through the nuance of honesty blended with empathy. Seven essential tips lay the groundwork for conversations that resonate with clarity, usefulness, and respect. As we navigate the dance between embracing change and preserving authenticity, we delve into how candid exchanges, when handled with care, can cultivate growth and enrich relationships. Join us for an exploration that promises to equip you with the finesse of radical candor, a tool that when wielded wisely, can usher in profound personal and communal metamorphoses.:

E107 - Raw Communication with Lance Furuyama

Ever found yourself in the thick of a construction project, where every voice has the potential to build or bulldoze progress? Lance Ferriyama from Trade Partner HQ joins us to hammer down the significance of communication in the trade industry, offering a blueprint for turning monologues into dialogues that construct rather than constrain. Together, we're chipping away at the old-school 'sizing-up' culture and reengineering it into one of collaboration and respect – because, in this field, a solid foundation isn't just about the concrete.
Navigating the complexities of the construction site is much like calling a truce in a high-stakes standoff – it calls for tact, strategy, and a willingness to listen. We lay out the tools for construction managers and superintendents to become architects of inclusivity, ensuring every voice is heard from the ground up. And just when you think the blueprint is clear, we tackle the frustration of silos and the art of breaking them down, sharing a personal tale from a San Jose project that could've used some serious demolition in the communication department.
But what happens when the hard hats come off? Lance and I dissect the raw, unfiltered essence of communication, extending beyond the job site to social media and beyond. Discover the power of authentic communication as we reflect on a 'UC moment' where staying true to oneself isn't just good for morale, it's good for business. Join us, and let's build bridges with words, one authentic conversation at a time.

E109 - The Power of Now livestream

When Matt Ohly, Adam Hoots, and I gathered around the mics, we uncovered the threads that weave together Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" with the fabric of our daily interactions. This episode isn't just a chat; it's a deep connection through shared stories that reveal how the art of presence amplifies our ability to communicate genuinely and listen intently. We're not just industry professionals—we're seekers of moments that build bridges between efficiency in work and the fullness of life outside the office walls.
Embarking on a journey through time, we align the ancient wisdom of Stoicism with Tolle's contemporary musings on mindfulness, only to find ourselves anchoring each other in the currents of the present. Here, you'll walk away with a blend of personal revelations and philosophical insights, each shedding light on the transformative impact presence has on our mental health, happiness, and even the legacy we leave behind. It's not just about the stories we tell; it's about the space we create for growth and empathy amidst the chaos of past regrets and future anxieties.
As we draw the curtains on this session, we celebrate the electric spontaneity of life—how a last-minute live stream can lead to unexpected friendships and profound connections. Matt and I dive into the joy these serendipitous experiences bring, reminding us all that the present is not just a concept but a lived reality that binds us in its embrace. Tune in, and you might just find that the power of now is the gateway to a life of contentment and the key to unlocking the full potential of each fleeting second.
