Summary
Eric Schleien narrates the introduction for his book, "Principles of Power: The Art & Wisdom of Badassery" as part of his podcast audio series.
About Principles Of Power
"Principles of Power can be related to as an advanced Coaching Handbook for Leaders. If you are a leader, an aspiring leader, a coach, consultant, or program facilitator, this book is designed for you. The material is delivered inside of a modern leadership context of service and contribution. Eric features many partnerships in Principles of Power. His inclusion of useful quotes from Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Werner Erhard, Nassim Taleb, Seth Godin, and many other leaders attests to the thinking and the research that went into the writing of this book. It is now undeniable that the understanding and implementation of powerful Listening, authentic Relationship, and a recognizable Permission to Lead, are cardinal distinctions of effective leadership. The word, ’cardinal’ has a Latin root and means ‘hinge’ – like a hinge on a gate. So, like a hinge, cardinal distinctions are connected to every nuance of leadership. You will see these distinctions in action in the background of Eric’s many leadership conversations. Authentic Relationship, for example, is essential to the effectiveness and empowerment of the participants and the leader. If authentic Relationship is missing, any outcome or result devolves to the result of domination or force, and is not an outcome of effective leadership. Consider this: Leadership is granted by the permission of those being led. Take a moment and allow that to sink in. The job of the leader is that of an environmentalist, providing the space for people to collaborate, flourish, and create. These two different activities, management and leadership are often commingled, especially in business schools and in the workplace. They are distinct and operate under different rules and measures. It’s like Checkers and Chess – Same game board, different games with different rules and outcomes. Disentangling and distinguishing the two arenas of activity grants power to both managers and leaders. So, the fundamental exercise of listening for people’s greatness is in the background of every sentence in this book. And there is much more…Principles of Power is strongly influenced by the transformational work of Werner Erhard. Much of the author’s thinking is also grounded in the classic distinctions of Tribal Leadership and the thinking of Warren Buffett and his partner, Charlie Munger. Those, plus Eric’s own extensive practical experience renders Principles of Power to be an extremely useful ‘go-to’ resource, filled with useful, implementable information, sprinkled liberally with memorable quotations from intelligent diverse sources – all apt and worth adding to YOUR leadership lexicon." - John King, co-author of Tribal Leadership

Summary
Today, Eric Schleien sits down with his guest, chief operations officer of Viral Ideas, Zach Medina. In this episode, they talk about the need to get into the 3D digital market, the skills and equipment required for VR and Augmented Reality, and the potential innovations to come out of them.
Zach also discusses how businesses and the academe should invest in computers and other technological advances. He believes that companies have to get with the times and plan for the future if they want to survive. Take online classes, for instance. They no longer have to be just a zoom call with a teacher. Schools should aim for more interactive online courses to keep their students interested in learning at all. Time and time again, technology has proven to be a great learning tool for students, and it is about time schools caught on.
Tune in to Eric and Zach’s discussion on why people are often afraid of technological advances and how it relates to why humanity is not innovating as much as it could. The two debate whether artificial intelligence is capable of creativity and whether advancing them would benefit or threaten humankind. Zach believes that people are wasting their potential to innovate even further, hence why, in Viral Ideas, they aim to play a role in the 3D market in hopes of advancing humanity even further.

Summary
In today's episode, Eric Schleien sits down with interview guest, writer, and registered yoga teacher Lara Hocheiser. They talk about the need for gender conversations, the concept of Sushumna Nadi, the relation between political identity and people’s reality, and Lara’s experience as a transformational coach.
In this episode, Lara also emphasizes inclusivity and how the privileged can and should support the marginalized by changing the system along with them. While being married to a trans woman, she saw with her own eyes how trans people often struggled through the years and how important it is for them to be comfortable in their skin and share their experiences. Hence, Lara advocates for other cis-gendered people to support the trans community by bringing them from the margins into the majority, hearing them out when no one else will, and giving them a chance to speak when they can.
As you listen further, tune in to Eric and Lara’s discussion about the different realities people face and how it affects their political identity. For Lara, we need to facilitate an environment where people can see what their capable of, be proud of it, and help others do the same. She also believes that through sharing our experiences, we bridge the different realities we all experience, come to an understanding and take a stand for each other.
About Lara Hocheiser

Lara has worked in the early childhood education sector for 19 years. She began her career as a Spanish Immersion teacher, and during that time, she integrated yoga, social-emotional learning, and mindfulness into circle time.
Now, Lara has over 15 years of experience studying, teaching, and living the yoga path. She has also taught more than 9,000 hours of early childhood yoga and mindfulness classes to date. She continues to speak at university early childhood education departments.

Summary
In today's episode, Eric Schleien sits down with interview guest and organizational culture expert John King. They talk about the systems and culture in workplaces, the types of personalities and communities, and his experience of teaching leadership to a generation of exceptional young leaders in Central Eurasia.
In this episode, John highlights former Tony Hsieh's sociability and genius that contributed to the whole legacy of Zappos. In Tony's lifetime, he was recognized for the impact that the company made on the community and the tribe he cultivated within their work environment. As an expert, John prizes Tony's ability to drive people to want to be around through acknowledgment and care – something visibly lacking in most brick and mortar companies that hang on to authority to found hierarchy and work system.
As you listen further, tune in to Eric and John's discussion about tolerance and appreciation towards varying points of view and how the whole cancel and soundbite culture plays in with everyone's roles on a government and individual level. For John, If you book somebody and want to hear what they want to say but have to get it in 20 or 30 minutes, it's just all going to be soundbites. It's going to be personality-driven. What is then taken out of that 20 minutes will make the case that one is this and one is that and everything else controversial.
About John King
John is in demand as a keynote speaker and is nationally recognized as a senior teacher, coach, and program leader. Clients of John's coaching practice have been featured on all major television networks and in The Wall Street Journal.
John is part of the leadership development team at Sierra Health Foundation and is on faculty at Collier's University, CB Richard Ellis University, and The California Leadership Institute. John is also a frequent guest lecturer in the Marshall School of Business and the School of Public Policy, Planning, and Development at USC.

About Principles Of Power
"Principles of Power can be related to as an advanced Coaching Handbook for Leaders. If you are a leader, an aspiring leader, a coach, consultant, or program facilitator, this book is designed for you. The material is delivered inside of a modern leadership context of service and contribution. Eric features many partnerships in Principles of Power. His inclusion of useful quotes from Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Werner Erhard, Nassim Taleb, Seth Godin, and many other leaders attests to the thinking and the research that went into the writing of this book. It is now undeniable that the understanding and implementation of powerful Listening, authentic Relationship, and a recognizable Permission to Lead, are cardinal distinctions of effective leadership. The word, ’cardinal’ has a Latin root and means ‘hinge’ – like a hinge on a gate. So, like a hinge, cardinal distinctions are connected to every nuance of leadership. You will see these distinctions in action in the background of Eric’s many leadership conversations. Authentic Relationship, for example, is essential to the effectiveness and empowerment of the participants and the leader. If authentic Relationship is missing, any outcome or result devolves to the result of domination or force, and is not an outcome of effective leadership. Consider this: Leadership is granted by the permission of those being led. Take a moment and allow that to sink in. The job of the leader is that of an environmentalist, providing the space for people to collaborate, flourish, and create. These two different activities, management and leadership are often commingled, especially in business schools and in the workplace. They are distinct and operate under different rules and measures. It’s like Checkers and Chess – Same game board, different games with different rules and outcomes. Disentangling and distinguishing the two arenas of activity grants power to both managers and leaders. So, the fundamental exercise of listening for people’s greatness is in the background of every sentence in this book. And there is much more…Principles of Power is strongly influenced by the transformational work of Werner Erhard. Much of the author’s thinking is also grounded in the classic distinctions of Tribal Leadership and the thinking of Warren Buffett and his partner, Charlie Munger. Those, plus Eric’s own extensive practical experience renders Principles of Power to be an extremely useful ‘go-to’ resource, filled with useful, implementable information, sprinkled liberally with memorable quotations from intelligent diverse sources – all apt and worth adding to YOUR leadership lexicon." - John King, co-author of Tribal Leadership
