Update: 2025-01-21
Description
Stoicism may be the trendy philosophy amongst many male media personalities right now - resulting in its occasional description as "broicism" - but it's more than just that. This week on S4N, Gene goes beyond the "broicism" trend and teaches you how to apply stoic principles for better negotiations... not to mention better sleep at night.
Featuring lessons from books, movies, and thinkers across history, learn how to reframe your business anxieties, separate personhood from personal achievement, and gain tactics for calmer, smoother deal negotiations. Plus, gain tools to remember: negotiation is life... but it doesn't have to become your life.
