The Day I Learned What "Obnoxious" Really Meant Pt. 2

from Carl Gould #70secondCEO · host Carl Gould

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. And that, you know, remember, I'm seventh grade. I'm 11 years old, and I just got called what I now think is a swear word. So that whole night I remember it sitting with me, and I was thinking, you know, what was she implying? Was she saying I was disgustingly objectionable? I was highly offensive. And I remember that night. I gotta tell you, I was pissed off at first, but then I went through a range of emotions. When I read this definition, mostly I was angry, right? If I was so out of bounds at that point, Shouldn't she have taken me aside and explained to me what she was observing, or offered guidance or coaching or teaching, you know? Wasn't that a teachable moment that I was enrolled in this school to receive if it was so bad, if I was disgustingly objectionable, right? I was a little bit more like that definition really sat with me that night, and when the full weight of the entire situation finally hit me, I gotta tell you, I was not very, very happy.  Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.
