Why Most People Fail to Adapt to Change | Vanderbilt's Patrick Leddin & James Patterson

A Vanderbilt research project spent years studying 350 people who faced major disruption and turned setbacks into opportunities. What separates the people who adapt to change from those who freeze?In this episode of The Money Signal: From Main Street to Wall Street, Tsvetta Kaleynska sits down with Vanderbilt professor Patrick Leddin, coauthor with legendary bestselling author James Patterson of the New York Times bestseller Disrupt Everything and Win.Drawing on years of Vanderbilt research, Leddin reveals what happens when people face unexpected change, why so many of us freeze, flee or feign interest instead of adapting, and what the people who successfully turn disruption into opportunity do differently.Patrick breaks down the four fundamental facts of disruption and the 16 behaviors of a "positive disruptor," including why the status quo can become what he calls "a deceptive little devil." He also explains how the people around us can become either headwinds or tailwinds when navigating major change.The conversation goes beyond the research through remarkable real-world stories, including:• Mountaineer Jamie Andrew's five days trapped in the Alps and the extraordinary life he built afterward• Marlon Wayans and what happened when his phone suddenly stopped ringing• Why Tom D'Eri turned down a Manhattan career to build Rising Tide Car Wash and create employment opportunities for people on the autism spectrum• How two entrepreneurs turned frustration at a drugstore razor aisle into Harry's• Why everyone needs three voices in their life: truth, encouragement and challenge• What separates positive disruptors from people who resist change• What happens when a CEO delivers a speech written 85% by ChatGPT• Why artificial intelligence may not be the workplace threat many people assume it isThe conversation ultimately asks a bigger question: When disruption inevitably comes, will you resist it, or learn how to use it?For leaders, entrepreneurs, executives and anyone navigating uncertainty, this episode explores the psychology of adapting to change, leadership, resilience, workplace disruption, entrepreneurship and artificial intelligence, backed by Vanderbilt research and the stories behind Patrick Leddin and James Patterson's Disrupt Everything and Win.🎙 Guest: Patrick Leddin - Vanderbilt Professor and coauthor of Disrupt Everything and Win with James Patterson#PatrickLeddin #JamesPatterson #Vanderbilt #DisruptEverythingAndWin #Leadership #AdaptingToChange #Disruption #Resilience #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #Entrepreneurship #TheMoneySignal 🎙 Hosts:Peter Tuchman - NYSE Floor Trader, Einstein of Wall StreetTsvetta Kaleynska — Consumer Data & Social Listening Expert📡 About The Money Signal: From Main Street to Wall Street — founders, CEOs, investors, and Wall Street veterans on money, business, and what success actually costs.Produced by GLORION MEDIA🔗 Follow & Listen:🌐 Website: moneysignalpodcast.com📸 Instagram: @moneysignal.podcast🎧 Spotify: The Money Signal: From Main Street to Wall Street  DisclaimerThe content presented on The Money Signal: From Main Street to Wall Street is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, legal, tax, or other professional advice.The views expressed by hosts and guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of GLORION Media or its affiliates.
