Ep 512 Navigating Crazy: How to Live and Work Sanely in an Insane World with Mike Staver
Navigating Crazy: How to Live and Work Sanely in an Insane World Most people trying to lead and live well are doing it without an anchor. Mike Staver has spent decades inside the rooms where leaders admit what they will not say out loud anywhere else, and he has reached a blunt conclusion: people do not rise to the level of their intentions. They live at the level of their behavior. If you have ever explained yourself instead of fixing what actually happened, or if your own anxiety has become so normal you stopped noticing it, this conversation names both patterns and gives you a way out of each. What was covered: Why one untested sentence from his father redirected Mike's entire life, and how he found out decades later it wasn't even true. The question a devout atheist asked him at dinner that changed how he examines every belief he holds. Why events are emotionally neutral and resentment lives in the replay, not the moment itself. The casket test: a present-tense way to know whether you are actually at peace with a relationship. Why intentions do not matter to the person standing across from the outcome, and what to do about it instead. Why "did I do my part today" is a more honest daily standard than "did I change the world." About Mike Staver: Most people trying to lead and live well are doing it without an anchor. Today's guest, Mike Staver, has spent decades inside the rooms where leaders and others admit what they will not say out loud to anyone else, and he's reached a conclusion: people don't rise to the level of their intentions. They live at the level of their behavior. Mike is an executive advisor, Speaker Hall of Fame inductee, and author of the new book Navigating Crazy. Today we're talking about what actually keeps people steady when everything around them isn't.
