My social media feed is probably a lot like yours. There are people that I really like. They are my true friends. I love keeping up with them. There are also people that I enjoy “following.” They might be funny, or interesting, or kind or a train-wreck. Either way, they are there for my entertainment. Unfortunately, there are others. These are the folks that are “friends” with me on social, but I don’t really care for. Most of the things they post make me roll my eyes or get annoyed. As a matter of fact, some days, this final group is all I seem to see!
The other day I was mindlessly scrolling on Facebook when one of the people from the final group had a post. They were complaining about something (as this group seems to do incessantly) and they had a suggestion to fix it. As usual, it was a totally absurd suggestion and I began my eye roll sequence. And then I paused and had a thought.
What if the answer was “yes?”
Stay with me on this. So many times, when we hear ideas or suggestions from people we don’t love or respect, our automatic response is to discredit it. We assume that whatever they are going to suggest is destined to be stupid, expensive, short sighted, or worse yet, evil. We don’t agree on most things, so how could they possibly have an idea that is good? Often we discredit the idea because of the person bringing it to the table.
But what if we looked at ideas (for real problems) with an “attitude of yes” regardless of where they came from?
The thought process would be a different one. Our brains would automatically start to think through the logistics of how it COULD work, instead of how it was dumb. For me, as I worked through the logistics of this Facebook idea, I found that it was not as “eye rolling” as I first believed. There is a pathway that might make it work. Maybe.
The magic behind this is we start to judge the idea independent of the person (or personality) behind it. When we do that, in business, politics, family and life, we get access to more perspectives, ideas and solutions. It’s easier said than done. But it’s powerful.
So the next time you see a crazy idea from “the other side” or a wild suggestion from that crazy Facebook friend, ask yourself a question.
What if I looked at this with “an attitude of yes?”

With the launch of my new book “The Give First Economy,” I reached out to several of my friends and peers that do podcasting and content to see if they could help me out. It’s always a vulnerable email to send out that says “please help me.” So I was humbled and honored that several people were kind enough to take me up on the offer. What was really cool was that each of these conversations, while they covered similar topics, were very different in tone and content.
That’s what happens when you are interviewed by professionals. They all have their own view, tone and vision for interviewing. Here are a few podcasts that were kind enough to have me.
Skucast with Bobby Lehew
Bobby Lehew is one of the most cerebral people in the Promotional Industry. He is an extremely well-read and thoughtful interviewer. Bobby wanted to dig into part 2 of the book first, and then chat about “giving first.” He even shared his own experience with getting too caught up in the chaos and the need to incorporate some meditation as a practice in your life. Listen to that conversation here.
So You’re In Sales with Roger Burnett
Roger is a believer in the “give first” philosophy and has created a business model around it. Roger dug right in on the concept of the book and wanted to unpack the idea that we have an “Appreciation Gap” in most organizations. Listen in to Roger and I here.
Clone Yourself with Sam Kabert
Sam Kabert is another friend of mine in the Promo Industry and is known for his SWAG Sam personality. But Sam has also become an expert in getting more done through the use of Virtual Assistants and speaks about that all over (he has even written a book about it). Sam and I have a pretty soulful conversation about the ins and outs of getting more done…but being more fulfilled and happy. Sam wants to go deep in his interviews and he does a great job drawing that out. Listen to that conversation here.
There are some more great conversations coming up soon and I will share those as well. But the book has done well (so far), in no small part to these amazing and gracious people that have been willing to have me on their podcasts…and lead a conversation. I so appreciate them “giving first” in this way.
