- 0:49I'm Jay Lauren Norris with leading leaders podcast.
- 0:53You know, it amazes me how the tool of hypnotism called artful
- 0:58vagary actually works. And if you were to measure
- 1:02artful vagary against, I don't know, say the Mandela Effect,
- 1:06you would have some really clever things going on inside
- 1:10your head and outside your head. In fact I I watched a a long
- 1:16expose where a guy was using a tool where the AI actually reads
- 1:20what your camera is seeing and tells you what it says.
- 1:24And what he did was compare different Chick-fil-A logos in
- 1:28front of his AI. And his AI was reading it out
- 1:31loud and pronouncing it and telling what it said and how the
- 1:33logos changed over time. And how the one for the waffle
- 1:36fries bucket was different than the one on the outside of the
- 1:39white box. But when he asked AI to spell
- 1:43it, AI misspelled what it was looking at.
- 1:48The word chick doesn't have AK in it in the logo.
- 1:53It's Ch IC-F, I L-A. And as many times as he asked
- 2:00his AI to read it, to spell it out, to actually speak the
- 2:04letters that it saw, it kept adding AK because the K is kind
- 2:10of presumed it's kind of chick is spelled with AK.
- 2:13It's supposed to be there. I mean, otherwise it'd be chic,
- 2:16right? But see, we, we fill in the
- 2:20blanks a lot of times with our own imagination, with our own
- 2:25expectations, with our past experiences.
- 2:30There's some principles, some golden rules, if you will, of of
- 2:34how we operate as human beings in our society.
- 2:36The relationships that we have with one another, the the jobs,
- 2:40the careers, the positions, even the way we go about doing those
- 2:45things. There are some tried and true.
- 2:49I get the hiccups. I hate hiccups.
- 2:53Maybe somebody should scare me. No, that didn't work.
- 2:58Maybe the water will do it. We'll see.
- 3:01See. There's some tried and true
- 3:03things, some old, some old wives tales, some processes that we go
- 3:06through, and some of those processes are, believe it or
- 3:11not, nothing more than sales pitches.
- 3:15Seriously, there were ways to get across an idea that once you
- 3:21got people to repeat it often enough, everybody kind of bought
- 3:25into it. And if everybody bought into it,
- 3:28then it became common knowledge. And if it was common knowledge,
- 3:31then it was presumed to be true. Now, I'm not even going to take
- 3:36you down the rabbit trail of all of the things that our society.
- 3:39Well, let me just throw a couple at you.
- 3:43Milk does a body good. Have you have you talked to your
- 3:48doctor about that? I mean, the presumption is that
- 3:53milk is where you get all your calcium, not necessarily I that
- 3:59milk is filled with protein. It is.
- 4:03It's also true that cow's milk is made for cows, not baby
- 4:07humans. And sometimes baby humans get
- 4:09fat on milk, and milk also sometimes has a lot of human
- 4:13growth hormones in it and other things that have been put into
- 4:16the cow to make the cow antibacterial so the cow can
- 4:20fight off other diseases that humans generally don't get.
- 4:23But now those things are in your bloodstream because they were in
- 4:25your food supply because so does milk.
- 4:29Do a body body good? Is milk good for your bones?
- 4:33Is the milk mustache a good thing or a branding thing?
- 4:41Obey your thirst. That was a Sprite commercial for
- 4:44a series of, I don't know, probably two or three seasons of
- 4:48football and baseball. Every time the Sprite commercial
- 4:51came on and said obey your thirst, well, is that the best
- 4:56thing to obey of all the rules and laws in the universe?
- 4:59Is your thirst the one that makes the decisions in your
- 5:02life? I don't know.
- 5:05I guess if you're a super thirsty person, could be, I'll
- 5:09let you play with the meaning of super thirsty because today's
- 5:12meaning of super thirsty is completely different than it was
- 5:1510 years ago and way different than it was when that commercial
- 5:18came out. If you ran an ad today that said
- 5:22obey your thirst, you might be in trouble.
- 5:26I'm just saying. But see, we, we played with the
- 5:30linguistics. We played with the meanings of
- 5:31words. We often find ourselves trapped,
- 5:35confined into these presumptions that what I said and what you
- 5:43heard have the same meaning, and often they don't.
- 5:49Often the thing that you said and the thing that I heard have
- 5:52no relationship to each other at all.
- 5:57If I just say to you those 3 words great minds think, I
- 6:05presume that you fill it in with the same word that I would after
- 6:09that alike. Great minds think alike.
- 6:12How many times have we heard that phrase?
- 6:14Here's the thing that's baffling to me.
- 6:17If great minds think alike, how do you get somebody like a Bill
- 6:20Gates and an Elon Musk that don't agree?
- 6:22How do you get the founders of AI, some of which are saying
- 6:25this is the greatest thing since sliced bread, it's going to
- 6:27revolutionize the entire world, and others are saying I wouldn't
- 6:31let my cat use AI. These are the creators of it.
- 6:36These are the people who understand what its full
- 6:38capability is. They they've not just thought
- 6:41about how do I make it work today, but what will it do 2
- 6:43years, five years, 25 years from now?
- 6:45What will Skynet and I mean AI look like?
- 6:49Will it look like the Terminator from the 1980s or something
- 6:53entirely different? Will AI together with, I don't
- 6:58know, The Terminator and Doctor Dread?
- 7:07And how many other movies have we seen Demolition Man?
- 7:12How many other movies have we seen where the projection
- 7:15forward of what AI could do in society?
- 7:18It's not such a good thing. And then my wife and I watched
- 7:23one last night where they worked so hard to humanize AI, even
- 7:27every single AI driven robot was looked like a human.
- 7:32It it had the ability to cry like a human.
- 7:34You, you felt sympathy and empathy with and for these
- 7:38creature creatures creators, I'm not sure which one they were.
- 7:43And I think that was the point. See, once we can't get people
- 7:47moving down that road, they just fill in the blank with what they
- 7:50were already thinking and what they're already feeling.
- 7:52And one of the most dangerous things as a leader is the
- 7:55presumption that what you think and feel is what everybody's
- 7:57going to think and feel. See, there's a there's a big
- 8:02clash going on right now. Patrick bet David and his group
- 8:05were talking about it just the other day.
- 8:06He hires about 150 people at a time on a regular basis, employs
- 8:12thousands, I presume, of people and was chatting with somebody
- 8:18about hiring somebody And they said, well, you know, you, you
- 8:20really ought to let our company help you with the hiring and
- 8:23firing. And he said, well, how many
- 8:24people have you ever like been in charge of it one time the
- 8:27guy's like like 25 people. He said, Oh, well, I, I have
- 8:37like 200 like right now and I need to hire up another 150
- 8:42people. And, and I'm just curious, how's
- 8:45your experience with 20 people going to help me hire 150
- 8:48people? But see, there's this
- 8:51presumption that if I've studied it at all, I know it.
- 8:58Part of that same conversation with Patrick and his team went
- 9:01on to talk about the current NBA crisis.
- 9:05I I don't mean the basketball, not NBA MB A master's in
- 9:12business administration. The challenge right now is most
- 9:15people are spending somewhere around 1/4 of $1,000,000 to get
- 9:17an MBA, but they can't get a job.
- 9:21And they go out there to get a job thinking that because I went
- 9:25to XYZ school, that just that name brand on my resume, on my
- 9:31certificate of completion, on my diploma, on my transcript, That
- 9:36alone should sue me in for a job.
- 9:41And when it doesn't, they're kind of heartbroken.
- 9:44In fact, they're now 1/4 of $1,000,000 in debt and without a
- 9:48way to repay it. That's a little frustrating.
- 9:51See that the presumption for decades has been that if I went
- 9:55to school for this, at this school, that school name alone
- 10:01means I'm getting in Wharton, Harvard, Princeton, whatever it
- 10:05is, whichever your favorite law school, medical school,
- 10:08whichever one it is, once I get that certificate of completion,
- 10:12that diploma, it's a guarantee. And it's turning out that that's
- 10:18not quite the case anymore. In fact, a lot of those high
- 10:21paid particular jobs from those kinds of universities are being
- 10:23replaced by AI. And what you hear over and over
- 10:28is not, you're going to be replaced by AI, but you're going
- 10:31to be replaced by someone who knows how to use AI.
- 10:34And what I find fascinating with, you know, the, the AI
- 10:38engineers, they call them AI prompt engineers.
- 10:41And I've, I've had some deep discussions with a couple of
- 10:44them. It's not just getting the AI to
- 10:48perform the task, it's knowing what information to tell it to
- 10:53perform. One of my coaching clients is a
- 10:56executive from the industry of, of IT and engineering where the
- 11:00two come together, MIT type grad, master's degree, very
- 11:05intelligent, very articulate, very quick on the on the rise
- 11:10with any kind of conversation around engineering, but doesn't
- 11:13speak humans so well. That's why we're working
- 11:15together to up those communication skills.
- 11:18And one of the things that we found is that there are some
- 11:20basic principles that go way back and some things that going
- 11:25forward, they tend to be better when they go way back.
- 11:30If we just keep moving on the the curve of the forward
- 11:33thinking, we find that we may be on the revolutionary cutting
- 11:37edge, we may be innovative and inventive, and that's awesome.
- 11:41But there's a place where those inventions and revolutions still
- 11:45have to be tethered to reality and humanity.
- 11:51I mean, think even as far back as Buck Rogers in the 21st
- 11:55century, the first series of Star Wars and Star Trek, where
- 12:00they looked at, what if we imagined, I don't know,
- 12:03antimatter, anti gravity devices that would allow us to teleport
- 12:10from one place to another. Do you reckon when they came up
- 12:13with those concepts on the shows and they could use some, you
- 12:18know, video wizardry and make things appear and disappear, do
- 12:23you think when they came up with those ideas, they completely
- 12:27abandoned reality altogether? Or did they use some truth, some
- 12:31universal principal truth that they had to look at and go,
- 12:34well, maybe we don't completely understand how this works right
- 12:36now, but we know that under these principles, if we stretch
- 12:41those principles far enough, we can get to this new idea.
- 12:46See, for every imaginative thing moving forward, it still has to
- 12:50come back to the basic principles and laws of the
- 12:52universe. I mean, I'm going to give you an
- 12:54example kind of from my world, Eleanor Roosevelt.
- 12:58It's a little quote. I had my wife write this down.
- 13:00She looked it up for me on on Google.
- 13:03I don't know if she used to chat or grok or anybody else.
- 13:06I'm guessing just Google. But it's a little quote from
- 13:10Eleanor Roosevelt you've probably heard before.
- 13:14Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events,
- 13:21and small minds discuss people. Now, if you've ever been in a
- 13:25room full of people and all of the conversation is about other
- 13:28folks, it's rumors, it's gossip, It's talking about their
- 13:31character or their flaws or their failures or their
- 13:34successes. And you never get past the other
- 13:36people in your environment. Or maybe even like a People
- 13:39magazine. You never really get beyond
- 13:43talking about the people. You're not even talking about
- 13:45the events like the world events, like what's going on in
- 13:47history, what's going on around the world right now.
- 13:50How does what's happening in Panama and what's happening in
- 13:53Iran impact your daily life? Well, if you're not looking at
- 13:57those events, global events, global impact Canada.
- 14:02Young man was arrested in the last week.
- 14:05The officer told him, I'm going to certify you mentally unwell.
- 14:10He's like based on what he's like because I can't.
- 14:15And so they took away his freedom because someone with a
- 14:20degree who went to a college who kind of things like everybody
- 14:24else who went to that college decided he looks unwell to me.
- 14:31So that person called their family, then that person called
- 14:34the police, and then the police used cameras that were located
- 14:38on St. poles and pulled this person over and took them to
- 14:41jail. Not because they did anything
- 14:43wrong, no, but because they didn't think like everybody else
- 14:51thinks. They didn't discuss like
- 14:56everybody else discusses. See, part of the reason that
- 14:58this concept that if you went to that school, you attended those
- 15:04classes, you got that degree from that professor.
- 15:07Now, I can trust that you know what you're talking about.
- 15:12You understand the subject. You've kind of been grilled on
- 15:16all of this. You get it.
- 15:18Let me give you another word for that.
- 15:21Indoctrination. Indoctrination.
- 15:25When you only learn to think alike, you're indoctrinated.
- 15:32That's not education, that's indoctrination.
- 15:35Those are. Those are different.
- 15:38See, here's the other challenge with that.
- 15:40When you can only think like everybody else around you,
- 15:44whether you're talking about people, you're talking about
- 15:46events, or you're talking about ideas, when the extent of your
- 15:51thinking goes to what everybody else around you is thinking,
- 15:56you're not really thinking. You're regurgitating.
- 15:58You're repeating. You might have a clever way to
- 16:01say it, but it's not different. And that's OK when you're
- 16:08talking about principles that don't change, like gravity and
- 16:10lift. When you're talking about ideas
- 16:14that have been shoved down your throat, like the idea that milk
- 16:17does a body good. Milk also causes protein
- 16:22problems in your body, where you get this phlegm in your throat
- 16:26and you can't figure it out. You don't really have allergies
- 16:28and you haven't really been around anything to give you a
- 16:31stuffy nose, but you got this. You're constantly coughing up.
- 16:36I cut back my milk consumption. As a family, we used to go
- 16:40through two or three gallons a week, and when we started using
- 16:44coconut milk and almond milk, most of that stuff I was
- 16:47coughing up in my throat went away.
- 16:50Most of the allergies to Cedars and things that are common to
- 16:53Texas, we don't struggle with anymore.
- 16:57I'm not saying they're not there and I'm not saying the cow
- 16:59caused it. I'm just saying when we took
- 17:02that thing out of our diet on a regular basis, things for us
- 17:07changed because we're not cows. Is common thinking?
- 17:18Is group thinking, Is great minds thinking alike the ideal?
- 17:26I, I, I brought some examples kind of from my world.
- 17:30This little book, Augmentino's greatest salesman in the world.
- 17:34In fact, I have the whole box set somebody gave me as a gift.
- 17:38I don't know, 2530 years ago may have been my dad that gave me
- 17:42that box set. I could be wrong.
- 17:45But then Augmandino is the greatest salesman in the world.
- 17:50In the cover page it says this is the title page right inside
- 17:54the book. I will persist until I succeed.
- 17:58I was not delivered into this world in defeat, nor does
- 18:03failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be
- 18:06prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to
- 18:10talk, to walk, to sleep with sheep.
- 18:13The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
- 18:16I will persist. It says persist.
- 18:22There's a typo on the cover page of the book.
- 18:25At the top it says I will persist.
- 18:27At the bottom it says I will persist until I succeed.
- 18:30I will persist until I succeed from the ancient scroll marked 3
- 18:35in The Greatest Salesman in the World.
- 18:36All right, that's internal content from from writing inside
- 18:39this book. By the way, this particular
- 18:42book, The Greatest Salesman in the World, was published in 1968
- 18:44by Bantam Books. As I'm reading through the cover
- 18:48page, because this book looks like it came from 1968 with old
- 18:51Yellow Pages and the whole 9 yards.
- 18:53But on the other title page where the copyright dated is, it
- 18:57also says reprinted in 198574 and 88.
- 19:02And I'm thinking, how did you know in 1968 when you printed
- 19:06this book that it would be reprinted 20 years later?
- 19:12So this must be one of the newer versions of 1985, but still has
- 19:15Yellow Pages. Maybe they printed it on Yellow
- 19:17Pages, so you'd think it was an old book.
- 19:20I don't know. Page 18, he says.
- 19:24Frightened by the tone of Hafeed's voice, Erasmus stepped
- 19:28back and asked. Is this the secret to which you
- 19:32have referred? Is this chest connected in some
- 19:34way with the promise you have yet to keep?
- 19:37The answer is yes to both of your questions.
- 19:41Erasmus passed his hand across his perspiring forehead and
- 19:45looked at a feed with disbelief. What is written on those scrolls
- 19:50that places so much their value beyond that of diamonds?
- 19:56Here was the answer. All but one of these scrolls
- 19:59contains a principle, a law, or a fundamental truth, written in
- 20:03a unique style to help the reader understand its meaning.
- 20:06To become a master in the art of sales, one must learn and
- 20:09practice the secret of each scroll.
- 20:12When 1 masters these principles, one has the power to accumulate
- 20:15all the wealth he desires. Now also in the beginning of
- 20:23this book Appreciations. The Greatest Salesman in the
- 20:27World is one of the most inspiring, uplifting and
- 20:30motivating books I have ever read.
- 20:32I can well understand why it has such splendid acceptance.
- 20:36Norman Vincent Peale the dedication in this book.
- 20:44I saw that while ago. Where was that dedication?
- 20:48Ah, this book is respectfully dedicated to a great salesman, W
- 20:52Clement Stone, who has blended love, compassion, and a unique
- 20:55system of salesmanship into living philosophy for success
- 20:59which motivates and guides countless thousands of
- 21:01individuals each year to discover greater happiness, good
- 21:05mental and physical health, Peace of Mind, power, and
- 21:08wealth. Now, if you don't know who W
- 21:10Clement Stone is, let me just tell you, W Clement Stone,
- 21:15Norman Vincent Peale, a guy by the name of Maxwell.
- 21:23Yeah, John Maxwell's father. Those guys were all running
- 21:26buddies. But W Clement Stone was a mentor
- 21:32to Jack Canfield. You know the book, the Success
- 21:36Principles, the entire collection of Chicken Soup for
- 21:39the Soul that was written along with Mark Victor Hansen, nearly
- 21:43hundreds of millions of copies of that sold all of these guys.
- 21:47This positive mental attitude, this sales concept, Brian Tracy,
- 21:51Bob Proctor, W Clement Stone, Robert Kiyosaki.
- 21:57Many of these people ran in the same very tight circles.
- 22:01Here's another one now, this book originally published 1991,
- 22:07The Ultimate Marketing Plan. It's going to give you a really
- 22:11quick rundown really fast right here in the table of contents.
- 22:15Step 1, putting together the right message.
- 22:17Step 2, presenting your message. Step three, picking the right
- 22:20targets. Step 4, proving your case.
- 22:23Step 5, putting your best foot forward.
- 22:25And then it goes on even down here to say poor boy marketing
- 22:29strategies, maximizing total customer value, fueling word of
- 22:35mouth advertising. Now here's the one that trips me
- 22:37out because this says it was published in 1991, but a reprint
- 22:41in 2620 years ago as of this recording.
- 22:48Step 12, new marketing technology.
- 22:50Step 13, How to make the Internet work for you.
- 22:58The book was written originally before the Internet.
- 23:01It was republished in 2620 years ago.
- 23:06To update you on how the principles of this book, which
- 23:10are probably no different than the principles of this book
- 23:13written in 1968 for all the ones before it, principles, trying to
- 23:22make a point here. I hope you'll catch on.
- 23:24Here's the new one. I literally just got this book.
- 23:26They've already been following up on with me from the
- 23:29organization that I ordered the book from asking me how did you
- 23:32like the book? My friends, this book is over
- 23:34300 pages. Let me see how many pages?
- 23:36This is 330-1347 looks like 351 pages.
- 23:46They called me within 10 days and said, how'd you like the
- 23:48book? I can read fast.
- 23:52I cannot consume 351 pages with everything else I have going on
- 23:56in less than 10 days. Not not I just I, I just can't.
- 24:01I wish I could. I can't.
- 24:02Let me give you a whole table of contents from this book.
- 24:06This book was published in 2026. Think like a Billionaire, How to
- 24:11sell like Crazy. The $500,000 learning curve.
- 24:14A wiser investment than saving stocks or real estate.
- 24:17Understand and identify your dream buyer.
- 24:20Wait, didn't he just say that in this book in 1991?
- 24:22I think he did create the perfect bait for your dream
- 24:27buyer that Yep, capture leads and get contact details.
- 24:32The godfather of strategy traffic.
- 24:35Oh, there's our Internet comment.
- 24:37The magic Lantern technique, the sales conversation, how to
- 24:39automate and multiply. That's your new technologies.
- 24:42You know what hasn't changed? Nothing the way you go about it
- 24:47might have changed because the technologies.
- 24:49But great minds think alike, right?
- 24:54Or are great minds indoctrinated?
- 24:58I'd really love for you to answer that question.
- 24:59In fact, drop it right down in the comments if you're watching
- 25:02online. Do great minds think alike?
- 25:06Or do great minds step out-of-the-box?
- 25:07Understand that there's some rules, laws, and principles of
- 25:09the universe. There are some things about
- 25:11humans that don't change and work within those parameters and
- 25:17still stretch for innovation, for imagination.
- 25:20See, when everybody's indoctrinated and thinks exactly
- 25:23alike, there is no room for imagination.
- 25:29This might surprise you to know I believe there's a God who
- 25:32created us all. And I know for a fact that the
- 25:37place that we're most like our Creator is when we imagine, when
- 25:42we stretch beyond the known and into the potential of the
- 25:46unknown, when we stay grounded in those principles that never
- 25:51change and we stretch for those things that have not yet been
- 25:54imagined. In fact, there's a promise that
- 25:56says if you then I and the then I says beyond anything you can
- 26:04ask or imagine what there's something out there further out
- 26:12greater than what I can even imagine.
- 26:16Yeah, yeah. But there's some principles.
- 26:19If you, then I, if you as a principal, and if you don't,
- 26:26then I won't. And when you get to the place
- 26:31where great minds that think alike only think in a certain
- 26:34sphere, they don't go beyond the limits of that.
- 26:37They don't stretch beyond that. They don't look for new ideas.
- 26:40And see, here's here's the fear for great minds that don't think
- 26:43alike. If you have a great mind, but
- 26:47you don't think like everybody else, you're a threat.
- 26:54Great minds think consistently. Great minds think persistently,
- 27:00not priestess persist. Great minds never stop thinking.
- 27:05They're always holding on to the principle and simultaneously
- 27:08reaching for what is beyond our imagination.
- 27:11In this moment, great minds exercise their thinking process.
- 27:16They take time to unplug from everything, to step out of every
- 27:20other bit of knowledge and just imagine for a moment.
- 27:23Take a journal. Really, that's all you need.
- 27:26Find a place of quiet in the solitude of the darkness, if you
- 27:30must, with a candle on a hillside where you can see
- 27:33thousands of miles away. Allow your imagination to focus
- 27:39on a problem that you're facing and not let it go until you have
- 27:43at least a couple of ideas. Now remember, you got to hold on
- 27:46to those principles. You can't let go of the
- 27:48principles and start living in fantasyland, but if you can
- 27:52tether your life to reality and stretch to imagination, you can
- 27:57do incredible things. And you don't have to think like
- 28:00everybody else to get there. There are ways to fight pain and
- 28:05and and inflammation without acetaminophen.
- 28:10True story, right? There are lots of them.
- 28:13There are ways to sleep better without putting pharmaceuticals
- 28:17in your body. Lots of them.
- 28:21There are ways to have better relationships.
- 28:25Lots of them great minds think and I'm encouraging you to do
- 28:33more of it. I'm Jay Lauren Norris with

- 30:02I can also tell you that my clients who get the greatest
- 30:05success are the ones who apply the Story Power process to their
- 30:09business development to increase their impact, their influence,
- 30:12and their income. Now, the Story Power process
- 30:15includes story mining, story selection, story qualification,
- 30:19story crafting, connecting with your audience, and leading the
- 30:23narrative. And if you leave any one of
- 30:25those parts out, you're going to find that or you're just not as
- 30:28effective as you want to be. You're not going to grow your
- 30:30business to the same level. You're not going to lead with
- 30:33impact and influence like you hoped to.
- 30:35I can also tell you that the people who apply these things,
- 30:39well, they're not failing in their business.
- 30:42The reason a lot of people fail in their business is they
- 30:46continue to fail to connect the solution they offer with the
- 30:50problem that their clients have. The pain in the solution never
- 30:53come together. And a lot of that failure is
- 30:56because they're not clearly articulating how their solution
- 31:02solves someone else's problem. It comes down to a question,
- 31:05something like this. Who do you help and how?
- 31:09Yes, that's one of the first things we're going to discuss
- 31:12over the next six weeks of Boost Your Business with Story Power.
- 31:16Master the Story Power method to captivate your audience, improve
- 31:19workplace culture, and 10X your fundraising.
