The world is rife with doom and gloom. Just switching on the TV or tuning into any social media feed you’ll see that there’s a blatant trend of negativity. What if we all made the effort to make this world a happier place? It starts with the simple question, “what made you smile today?”
This is The Psychology of Entrepreneurship,
a highly produced audio documentary style, revealing series that follows Ronsley Vaz and his guests, as they strive to go inside & unravel the inner workings of the mind of an entrepreneur, artist, athlete, academic; to decipher what is the psychology of our decisions.
If you are an entrepreneur (BTW we consider that mothers are the original entrepreneurs) and would like to understand why we do certain things in certain situations, and if small changes in thinking can deliver massive amounts of results in success and happiness, then this podcast is for you.
Dr. Mark Goulston is one of a kind.
He is best known for his 30+ years of experience as an interventional psychiatrist, trainer of FBI and police hostage negotiators and crisis specialist. Then add on his 15+ years of executive coaching and advising and it uniquely puts Mark in a position to help executives and decision-makers deal with risky situations while keeping them grounded in their heartfelt values.
Today, Dr. Goulston moves between multiple avenues. He utilises not only his medical and entrepreneurial background but his speaking and writing talents as well. His book, Just Listen, ranked #1 in six Amazon/Kindle categories and became the basis of a 2010 PBS special. That’s pretty amazing.
Forever active within the psychiatric community, Mark regularly puts pen to paper for the likes of Huffington Post, Psychology Today, Fast Company, the Business Insider and the Harvard Business Review
Mark has been a familiar face on Oprah, The Today Show, The Phil Donahue Show, CNN, TEDx and hosted a PBS pledge drive special. You can also hear his dulcet tones on his own podcast “My Wakeup Call.”
In this volume, Ronsley explores the reason why Mark took two non-consecutive medical leaves of absence before eventually completing his MD degree in 1976. They also deconstruct the power of smiling and why you should be following the new #WMYST movement.
