News Flash: I Am A 98% Angry, No-Nonsens...

BEN GREENFIELD
About this episode

Prepare for your mind to be blown by today's podcast guest. Mine certainly was. My guest is Steve Sisler, and today's episode, he tears me completely apart, absolutely amazes me as he "psychoanalyzes" me, and during the entire process, you're going to learn a ton about yourself and your behavior. If you've ever wanted to know what makes you tick... Exactly why you think the way you do... What drives you personally when you exercise or race... How you interact with people and relationships (and how you can make this work for or against you)... And why you behave the way you behave... This episode is a must-listen for you...

Steve is author of the book: The Four People Types: And What Drives Them, a behavioral profiler and lead behavioral analyst at The Behavioral Resource Group. He works with clients in more than 18 nations, gathering behavioral, emotional, and attitudinal information on individuals within corporate and personal settings. Then he develops strategies for leadership, teamwork, and entrepreneurial or career success. Steve is widely considered as the “go to” source for behavioral and attitudinal issues within the framework of both business and family (he's been doing this stuff since the shocking age of twelve!). He is considered a true anomaly within the world of behavioral analysis.

During our fascinating discussion, you'll discover:

-How Steven developed the crazy skill of being able to "read people" extremely accurately from the young age of twelve...

-The one unique attitude Steven found me to possess - an attitude that only 2% of people on the face of the planet can match...

-Why people perceive me to be aloof and arrogant based on my high level of no-nonsense, black-and-white thinking...

-Why Steven observes that I could be either a very good assassin or a sniper...

-How when I am in work mode I become a complete perfectionistic machine and check my emotions at the door...

-Why I score very high on alternative ideas, unconventional thoughts and thinking outside-the-box...

-The reason Steven thinks I'm not competitive, but rather simply an artist, discoverer and educator...

-I don't compete and race and spend time in the gym because I'm competitive, but rather because I am, what Steven describes as a "body artist"...

-Why I score extremely high on individualism, innovation, uniqueness, autonomy, freedom (and hate teleprompters)...

-The reason I'm very comfortable not necessarily being the person in charge...

-Why I am a rule-breaker and why I have a negative, cautious bias when it comes to following rules......

-The reason some people can perceive that I don't "care", and why I tend to care the most about people who are making an effort to help themselves...

-What it means to have an itchy brain, and why some people will change direction very quickly in life and let go of non-effective ideas easily...

-Why my score is crystal clear when it comes to how my choices affect those around me, and why it's extremely important to me that any decision I make not hurt anyone around me...

-Why I'm extremely demanding and critical of myself...

-The personality that makes me relentless, want to never give up, keep striving to get better and better, and have a perception nobody can stop me...

-Why I'm very clear about who I am... -And much more!
