Coss Marte (@CossMarte) is the founder and CEO of ConBody, a NYC-based fitness studio that hires formerly incarcerated individuals to teach fitness classes, and author of ConBody: The Revolutionary Bodyweight Prison Boot Camp, Born from an Extraordinary Story of Hope. What We Discuss with Coss Marte: How a 13-year-old immigrant from the Dominican Republic scaled up a $5 million per year drug business -- the Uber for cocaine. How Stephen King (probably not the one you're thinking of) brought this whole operation down, inadvertently leading to a domino effect of positive change beginning with Coss Marte. The power of mindset and fitness to stay sane and healthy behind bars -- where the odds are stacked overwhelmingly against personal improvement on any level. What Coss and ConBody Fitness are doing to help rehabilitate the incarcerated and break the cycle of recidivism so many fall into. How lessons learned from the illicit drug trade transferred to Coss' legitimate business and helped him build a bridge of u

The five factors that measure your ability to persuade and influence on a level that surpasses mere inspiration.

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: How do you deal with constant negativity when you're surrounded by it almost 24/7? How do you keep yourself up to date with real-world issues, remove the noise or work around it, and decide what to focus on and when? Is there body language that can counteract your naturally intimidating appearance? How can you offer to correct someone's grammar without being offensive? Is there anything wrong with maintaining distance when you've fallen out of touch with some of the people in your network? Is it possible they became "weak and dormant ties" for a reason? If you don't have a degree, how can you market yourself in a way that wi

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: After completing a rewarding internship at an office in your field, what's the best way to maintain the valuable connections you made there? How can you become an influential face in your community and inspire others who share your life-threatening adrenal deficiency when you're always second-guessing yourself into awkwardness in social situations? Avoiding that toxic person in or near your social circle is great advice -- but what if you're getting the sinking feeling that toxic person is you? Do you have to go to law school to prove you're smart and live up to the expectations of others when you already love your so-cal

Vince Beiser (@vincelb) is an award-winning journalist specializing in social issues, technology, and the places they intersect. His latest book is The World in a Grain: The Story of Sand and How It Transformed Civilization. What We Discuss with Vince Beiser: Sand is to cities what flour is to bread -- without sand, civilization as we know it could not exist. Sand is at the core of our daily lives, used to make concrete, glass, asphalt, silicon chips in laptops, and smartphones. Usable sand is a finite, endangered resource and desert sand doesn't work for construction -- in fact, Dubai imports sand from Australia. There's a black market for sand, and there are sand pirates -- it's a resource over which people literally die. Nearly 70% of sand on Earth is quartz (one of the most common minerals on earth), and the cycle to create new sand takes 200 million years. And much more...

Find out what games can teach us about critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and our ability to collaborate. Explore the ways a "gameful" mindset can boost our motivation, confidence, and ability to pick up new skills in the face of obstacles. Examine the benefits of post-traumatic growth -- and how it can counterintuitively coexist in tandem with the disadvantages of post-traumatic stress.

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: How hard should you push your spouse toward a life-changing decision that seems obvious to you as the right one? How do you avoid becoming your old boss' free financial advisor just because you happened to give him some good investing advice once? How far does loyalty go toward a friend from whom you've grown apart? How should you evaluate LinkedIn connection requests? Are you being too narrow by only limiting connections to people you've met in the real world?

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into vulnerability -- what it really is, why it can't be faked, and how to spot it in ourselves and others to make real connections while avoiding manipulation by those who don't always have our best interests at heart. What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi: How to resist the pervasive Cult of Vulnerability that exists even in the most well-meaning of circles today. Why vulnerability doesn't respond to exercises, requests, or expectations, no matter how hard you try. What happens when you try to force vulnerability -- from yourself or someone else. How to tell the difference between authentic and strategic vulnerability. When being vulnerable is appropriate and when it isn't -- and how to ensure we're calibrating it accordingly.

Why otherwise positive characteristics can be detrimental to progress when we forget the importance of balance. When to take responsibility, and what the limits of this actually are. Why we should stop being the easy button for those we manage and lead. The concept of leadership capital: how to build it, when to use it, and when not to use it. And much more...

Jonathan Haidt (@JonHaidt) is a social psychologist who studies the American culture wars and is widely considered to be one of the world's leading experts on the psychology of morality. He is the co-author of The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure. What We Discuss with Jonathan Haidt: Why should we be preparing the child for the road and not the road for the child?

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: You need to increase your salary so you can adequately provide for your family, but you're not sure your current employer will go for it. Is it time to let go of your dream job? How can you ease the overwhelming loneliness of being on your own for the first time when you're anxious and miss your old life -- especially when the job that moved you to the big city just isn't as interesting as it used to be? Can a man from a blue collar background and a woman who grew up used to the finer things in life build a life together that allows him to feel like a provider without disappointing her expectations? When you're the youngest

Charles Ryu (@freshprinceofpyongyang) escaped from North Korea -- twice -- and now works with Liberty in North Korea to fight for the rights and freedom of those who have been left behind. This is part two of a two-part episode. Check out part one here! What We Discuss with Charles Ryu: The risky train ride that began Charles' escape to freedom. How the swift current of a freezing river likely saved Charles' life. What Charles did once he got to China with no money, food, or water.

What We Discuss with General Michael Hayden: Why the current administration revoking security clearance of dissenting intelligence leadership is a big deal -- and why General Hayden believes it sets a precedent that threatens national security. The phenomenon of the unpleasant fact knows no political allegiance.

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: You got a promotion only to accidentally discover that the person who does your old job makes more than you do now. Now how do you leverage for a real raise? Should you feign interest in something you don't really care about for the sake of mingling with business clients? As a parent of young adults who carry the scars of trauma from your imperfect marriage to their other parent, how can you help them move through their current challenges? Now that you followed the advice from Alex Kouts in our three-part negotia

Jim Kwik (@jimkwik) is the CEO of Kwik Learning with 22 years of experience teaching speed-reading, memory improvement, and optimal brain performance to top politicians, actors, CEOs, industry shakers, and world leaders.

How you can learn more in less time and apply it as a force multiplier to improve your life. Why forgetfulness is more of a glitch in attention rather than retention.

Charles Ryu (@freshprinceofpyongyang) escaped from North Korea -- twice -- and now works with Liberty in North Korea to fight for the rights and freedom of those who have been left behind. What We Discuss with Charles Ryu: A glimpse of the rampant corruption ruling the daily lives of average North Koreans. Being homeless anywhere at any age is terrible. But what's it like being a homeless preteen in North Korea during the winter? How Charles escaped from North Korea to China as a young teenager and what he got a taste of for the first time ever. What led to Charles being jailed in China, deported back to North Korea, and sent to a forced labor camp for nine months.
