Hi Optimists! We're taking a short break to reset and refuel, but we'll be back with an inspiring new episode on August 5th. Until then, take care of yourselves and each other. - The A Bit of Optimism Team __________________ My career is an accident. It started when I set out to rediscover my passion and reignite a spark I’d lost — and that journey led me to the work I do now. If you know me from my books or my speaking, you know I’m fascinated by why people do what they do. What makes someone find joy and meaning in their life, or pursue something far greater than themselves? I started A Bit of Optimism to explore those ideas and expand my own perspective. This podcast is a trove of honest conversations, with people who challenge me, teach me, or simply help me see things in a different way. Some guests are household names, and others you may be meeting for the first time. But each one of them has something to share that can help all of us grow. So if you’re looking for a spark — some insight, inspiration, or just a reminder that good things are possible — join me on A Bit of Optimism! Let’s grow together.

The Buyer's Mind with Jeff Shore is a B2C sales training podcast dedicated to helping you increase your sales numbers by understanding your customers in a deeper way. Whether you’re buying a magazine, a mobile phone, a new car or a new home, we all go through surprisingly similar thought patterns during a purchase cycle. Jeff’s podcast is about the psychology behind those thought patterns—the obvious and subtle considerations that lead someone to buy (or often not buy) a product. What sets Jeff apart from other sales trainers in his field is a continued focus on the experience of the the buyer, not the seller. In addition to his weekly podcast, Jeff Shore is a highly sought-after sales expert, speaker, author and entrepreneur. He is the CEO and founder of Shore Consulting which offers a variety of B2C sales training events throughout the United States. His sales training programs teach sales professionals to abandon scripted sales presentations, obnoxious closing lines and other antiquated “used car salesman” techniques in order to make meaningful, emotion-centered connections with their customers. These sales strategies have proven incredibly successful: last year alone, Jeff’s residential real estate sales training clients sold over $25 billion in residential real estate. Are you are a sales manager or executive looking for ways to increase profits and grow your company by updating outdated sales techniques and increasing the leadership and decision making skills of your staff? Are you a front line sales professional simply looking to master the art of persuasion? The Buyer’s Mind was designed for you. Learn more. Earn more. Enjoy your life more!

Warren Buffett is considered one of the most successful investors ever with a current net worth over $100 billion. He became a disciple of renowned investor Benjamin Graham while studying at Columbia, later starting his own investment partnerships in the 1950s. His defining investment was acquiring New England textile firm Berkshire Hathaway in 1965, using it as a vehicle to purchase stocks and acquire companies via equity stakes.As Buffett evolved from Graham's "cigar butt" investing approach to focusing on high quality companies, Berkshire itself transformed into a powerhouse conglomerate with wholly owned subsidiaries in insurance, energy, manufacturing and consumer goods. Buffett also formed lifelong friendships and symbiotic partnerships with people like Charlie Munger and Bill Gates. His investing success is underpinned by a rational approach focused on intrinsic value, margin of safety and holding companies indefinitely so winners compound.Despite the immense wealth created, Buffett leads a modest, frugal lifestyle and has pledged to give away 99% of his fortune to philanthropy in an effort to address wealth inequality. This commitment to see money as a vehicle for change rather than luxury encapsulates his ethical foundations.In terms of Berkshire succession planning, Buffett has decentralized operations and empowered business managers so operations can continue without him. He has also identified portfolio manager Todd Combs and Vice Chairman Greg Abel as key figures who now handle many capital allocation duties. As Buffett says, Berkshire represents a community beyond just himself, so the culture should endure past his stewardship.Ultimately, Buffett's legacy includes unrivaled value creation via Berkshire stock, his long-term investing wisdom which educates average investors, serving as a model for wealth redistribution through philanthropy, acquisition and oversight excellence, and providing a blueprint for long-horizon, community-focused capitalism.
