Episode 253-Chris Masiello on Finding Opportunity in Change with Lois Sonstegard,PHD

Welcome to Episode 253 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast author and entrepreneur Chris Masiello shares with us his fascination with how humans — as a species — are adverse to change. Chris explains, “Change is how we got here,” and he believes that change is how we’ll get to where we’re supposed to be. He questions why change is so hard for us when it’s really the only constant we know. As we come out of Covid, so many people are concerned about the changes we’ve experienced and what happens next. Chris advises not to get trapped in our own thought process and to recognize the connection between change and curiosity and how, when change occurs, there’s almost always opportunity.

So if you want to know:

• How the human “fight or flight instinct” prevents you from recognizing that change is a time for curiosity and creativity
• Strategies you can deploy to navigate a time of change
• One approach a real estate company took when Covid hit
• The importance of being aware of what you’re thinking and ensuring your thoughts align with your desired outcome
• How the ability to drive at night shows that you can train your subconscious mind to deal with change
