  • The Truth About Success: It’s All in the Messy Middle: Alexis Redding

    The Truth About Success: It’s All in the Messy Middle: Alexis Redding
    Mar 26 2026
    We love hero stories where everything works out—but those stories are actually hurting the next generation. In this episode, Dr. Alexis Redding, a leader at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and co-author of The End of Adolescence, reveals why our "triumphant narratives" prevent us from connecting with young people. After reopening a "lost" 50-year study, Alexis discovered that the loneliness and uncertainty we see in Gen Z today are identical to what college students felt in the 1970s—we’ve just forgotten how hard it actually was. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong or you’re struggling to give meaningful advice to others, this masterclass on memory, bravery, and "micro-mentorship" is for you.

  • Three Steps to Regain Control When Emotions Take Over

    Three Steps to Regain Control When Emotions Take Over
    Mar 25 2026
    What if the real reason you freeze in high-stakes moments isn’t a lack of confidence — but a nervous system trying to protect you? In this powerful conversation, somatic coach and author Jay Moon Fields reveals why so many high-performing professionals sabotage themselves in the moments that matter most — and how to reclaim control using the intelligence of the body. Drawing from over 20 years of work with Fortune 100 leaders and organizations like Apple, the United Nations, and Patagonia, Jay shares the surprising truth behind people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, and overthinking. You’ll learn why your body often knows what’s happening before your mind does — and how learning to listen to those signals can transform the way you lead, communicate, and negotiate. Together, we explore Jay’s powerful “Hey, Wait” framework, a simple yet profound method for pausing in the middle of stressful interactions, reconnecting with your internal experience, and showing up with clarity instead of fear. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why high achievers often freeze, overthink, or people-please in critical moments The body signals that reveal when you’re abandoning yourself in conversations How to interrupt emotional hijacking before it takes over A practical 3-step method to stay grounded during difficult feedback, negotiations, and conflict Why learning to say “Hey, wait” can radically change how you relate to others — and yourself If you’ve ever walked away from a meeting thinking “Why didn’t I say what I meant to say?”, this episode will give you the tools to stop freezing, trust your instincts, and show up with presence when the stakes are highest. Because the most powerful conversations don’t start with better scripts — they start with better awareness of yourself.

  • The Power of Productive Failure (And Why You Should Seek It Out)

    The Power of Productive Failure (And Why You Should Seek It Out)
    Mar 24 2026
    Failure isn’t a setback — it’s the fastest path to growth, clarity, and real success. In this masterclass episode of Negotiate Anything, we dive deep into the idea that the most important breakthroughs don’t come from getting it right — they come from getting it wrong and choosing to move forward anyway. Entrepreneur Jeremy Delk shares his journey from small-town beginnings to Wall Street, revealing how losing big, taking risks, and embracing uncertainty shaped his success. Alongside him, learning scientist Manu Kapoor introduces the concept of “productive failure,” explaining why intentionally stepping into discomfort is the key to mastering any skill — from negotiation to leadership. Together, they unpack why the hardest conversations are often the ones we have with ourselves, how authenticity accelerates better outcomes, and why action — not overthinking — is the real catalyst for progress. This episode will challenge the way you see failure, push you to rethink your approach to growth, and give you practical insights you can apply immediately. Because the goal isn’t to avoid failure. It’s to use it — on purpose.
