2 of 2: 🎙️ The Skills You Need for “Impossible” Conversations | Simon Greer
🎙️ The Skills You Need for “Impossible” Conversations . 👉 What if the very people you’ve written off as “the other side” are the key to healing the deepest divides in your life, and your country? Episode Summary: When was the last time you really listened to someone who fundamentally disagrees with you? Not to debate. Not to win. But to actually understand. In Part 2 of my powerful and enlightening conversation with Simon Greer, founder of Bridging the Gap and one of the most courageous voices in conflict transformation, we move beyond theory into practice. . This isn’t about “being nice.” It’s about reclaiming our humanity, one conversation at a time. . Simon shares the five core skills that can turn the conversations you dread into the conversations that change everything: 🥊 Strong Back, Soft Front: How to stand in your truth without being rigid or reactive. 👂 The Listening Shift: Why the art of an open-ended question can melt decades of division. 📝 Storytelling for Connection: How sharing your own truth (not just “facts”) can pierce walls facts never will. 🔄 Feedback That Opens Doors: How to disagree without burning the bridge you need to cross. ⚖️ Power Reimagined: Why real power in dialogue isn’t about who’s louder—it’s about who’s willing. . Along the way, you’ll hear Simon recount: .✅ Sitting down with Glenn Beck after a very public conflict, and what happened when he decided to show up with “a strong back and a soft front.” ✅ What mass shooter drills, deer hunting, and gun rights reveal about America’s most profound cultural fissures. ✅ Why “platforming” those we disagree with isn’t a weakness, it’s the only way forward. This episode is a masterclass for any leader, parent, partner, or citizen who’s tired of screaming matches and silent withdrawals, and is ready to step into courageous conversations that could literally change the future. Why Listen: Because staying in your bubble feels safe, but it’s costing us everything. Simon Greer’s Work: Founder of Bridging the Gap | Senior Advisor to One Voice United | Social Healing Pioneer LinkedIn: ✅ If you’re serious about transforming conflict into connection—start by listening all the way to the end. If this episode hits you where you live (and it will), share it with one person you’ve been avoiding having “the conversation” with. And leave us a review—because that’s how this show sparks the kind of dialogue the world is desperate for. . 📌 Hashtags #CourageousConversations #BridgingTheGap #Leadership #SimonGreer #DovBaron #FutureOfLeadership #Tribalism #IdentityCrisis #Polarization #HumanConnection

1 of 2: 🎙️ Courageous Conversations: Can We Disagree Without Destroying Each Other? | Simon Greer
🔥 When was the last time you had a conversation with someone who saw the world completely differently from you… and walked away with more respect, not more rage? SHOW DESCRIPTION: Polarization has become the oxygen we breathe, but what if there’s another way? In this raw, edge-of-your-seat conversation, Dov Baron sits down with Simon Greer, founder of Bridging the Gap, to tackle the question we’re all secretly asking: Can we still talk across divides without losing our minds… or our humanity? . Raised in a left-wing Jewish family on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Simon grew up in an environment where dinner conversations weren’t just political, they were ideological battlegrounds. His early life, from Jewish Communist summer camps to a career in progressive politics, shaped him into a fighter for “change.” . But here’s the twist: Simon realized he wasn’t just fighting for change, he was fighting to be right. Then came his personal identity crisis. The loss of his job and his carefully crafted “progressive warrior” persona shattered everything. Out of that rubble, he made a radical pivot: seeking out the very people he once demonized, white working-class conservatives, business leaders, evangelical Christians, even prison guards and formerly incarcerated people, to ask a new question: “How can we build bridges without asking anyone to give up their tribe?” 👉 This isn’t about polite bipartisanship. It’s about impossible conversations, sitting down with people who fundamentally disagree with you (even about your eternal soul) and still finding a way to honor each other’s humanity. Simon shares: 🏕️ What Jewish Communist summer camp taught him about identity & tribe (and why those early ideologies still matter). 🥊 How losing everything freed him from a rigid identity — and how that same breaking point might be the catalyst for healing America. 🌉 Why bridging divides isn’t about erasing differences — but honoring them. 📜 The powerful story of a Muslim friend whose family fought Israel — and how they became allies. 🛑 The truth about polarization: It’s not that we have tribes; it’s that we’re being played into them. . This isn’t just another podcast episode. It’s a field guide for leaders who are ready to do the uncomfortable work of listening, learning, and leading differently. About Simon Greer . Simon Greer is the founder of Bridging the Gap, a national initiative training the next generation of civic leaders to engage across divides with honesty and courage. He has advised movements, mentored changemakers, and spent decades at the intersection of faith, politics, and social change. Contact Simon Greer: What You’ll Learn in This Episode ✅ Why “normal” isn’t healthy, it’s just what you grew up with. ✅ How to push past the billboard version of someone to find the real human underneath. ✅ Why identity-shattering moments (even job loss) can be the greatest gift you never wanted. ✅ The difference between bipartisanship and true bridging — and why the latter is harder, deeper, and absolutely necessary. ✅ How to hold your tribe with pride, without turning someone else’s tribe into the enemy. 🎧 This Episode Will Hook You to the End This conversation is uncomfortably honest, deeply human, and wildly hopeful. It doesn’t offer kumbaya clichés. Instead, it asks you to step into the messy, sacred middle, where the future of leadership, and perhaps the country lies. 💥 Listener Challenge After listening, ask yourself: What’s one “impossible” conversation I’ve been avoiding… and what might happen if I had it? 📌 Hashtags for Apple & LinkedIn Discovery #CourageousConversations #BridgingTheGap #Leadership #SimonGreer #DovBaron #FutureOfLeadership #Tribalism #IdentityCrisis #Polarization #HumanConnection

Part 2 of 2: 🎙️ Why the "Job" is Dead, and What’s Coming Next | Gary Bolles What if the very concept of a “job” is the most significant barrier to your purpose, potential, and prosperity? 🧠 Episode Summary: In this explosive Part 2 of The Dov Baron Show, futurist and work re-architect Gary Bolles dismantles the outdated job-centric mindset that’s been hardwired into our schools, companies, and even our identities. . If you’re still trying to “fix” work without rethinking its entire foundation, this is the confrontation you didn’t know you needed. . Gary reveals why our inherited scripts about jobs, education, and talent development are failing fast—and how a new Menu of Work model offers not just productivity, but personal sovereignty. . Dov and Gary go deep into the emotional cost of systems designed to extract rather than empower. Together, they offer a bold, human-centered alternative to navigate the coming disruption—one where work isn’t something you fit into, but something you design. 🚨 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why the old concept of a “job” is overdue for extinction How to build a “menu of meaningful work” that evolves with you The lie of linear careers—and why younger generations reject them What companies get wrong about internal talent mobility How to lead in an era where skills change faster than org charts The real cost of outdated education models on global opportunity Why we must unlearn the old narratives before we design what’s next How work becomes a platform for dignity, equity, and creativity The core shift from extractive systems to regenerative leadership Why your organization must become a “learning lab” or risk irrelevance 💣 Truth Bomb: “If your systems require people to unlearn who they are, you don’t have a work problem, you have a humanity problem.” ~Dov Baron 🧭 About Gary Bolles: Chair for the Future of Work at Singularity University, author of The Next Rules of Work, and global voice on work reinvention. Gary has helped millions of learners on LinkedIn and advises leading organizations on redesigning work for a fast, fluid, and purpose-driven future. 🌐 📕 🔥 Dov Baron’s Take: “This episode isn’t a conversation—it’s a wake-up call.

From having Andrea Bocelli serenade dinner guests under Michelangelo’s David, to helping clients rub shoulders with Richard Branson, Elon Musk, and even the Pope, Steve didn’t just open doors—he exploded the myth that success demands conformity. . Steve shares his unfiltered approach to influence, why authenticity beats polish every time, and how anyone can create deep loyalty by connecting on a human level, not a hierarchical one. .

Whether you're a high performer looking for the edge, or a leader tired of transactional relationships, this episode is a blueprint for influence rooted in truth, courage, and connection. . 📌 Key Takeaways The Harvard story: Why Steve rejected the dress code—and got invited back. How to break elite barriers: Stop seeing the title, start seeing the soul. The Mike Tyson method for dismantling power dynamics instantly. The two traits every true leader shares (and why most never show them). Blue Cause: A zero-admin, no-middleman charitable model that changes lives—and exposes the nonprofit industry's dark side. How Steve used nonconformity as a business strategy to work with Branson, Musk, and other icons. . 📚 Guest Bio Steve Sims was the iconic founder of Bluefish, a luxury concierge service for the ultra-wealthy and high-profile clients. Known for creating mind-blowing experiences like dinner under the Sistine Chapel or a submarine trip to the Titanic, Steve also built Blue Cause, a charitable platform ensuring 100% of proceeds go directly to vetted causes—without a cent touching his hands. He authored Bluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happen and Seven Ugly Truths. He was invited to speak at Harvard (twice) and was featured by Forbes, Entrepreneur, and the Wall Street Journal. Steve Sims passed away unexpectedly, but his legacy of radical authenticity and impact lives on. 💬 Listener Engagement CTA 💭 What’s one moment where you stopped playing the part, and everything changed? .

Part 2 of 2: 🎙️ Are You Delivering Feedback… or Just Protecting Yourself? | Jeff Hancher
You say you give feedback. But is it honest, or is it emotionally filtered so you won’t feel the sting of someone else’s discomfort? In Part 2 of this unfiltered conversation, Jeff Hancher, author of Firm Feedback in a Fragile World, returns to The Dov Baron Show to unpack the most critical skill a leader must master… and almost none do: How to deliver feedback that transforms performance, without fear, fluff, or ego. . Jeff doesn’t speak from theory. He speaks from experience, having been in the military, as well as the corporate, and personal sectors.

Part 1 of 2: 🎙️ Firm Feedback in a Fragile World | Jeff Hancher
When everything feels politically, emotionally, and culturally flammable… Is it even possible to speak the truth as a leader and not get burned? In Part 1 of this hard-hitting and profoundly personal conversation, Jeff Hancher, author of Firm Feedback in a Fragile World, joins Dov Baron to dissect the modern leadership paradox: How do you build a high-performance culture that welcomes critical conversations… without triggering fear, fragility, or fake harmony? . Jeff Hancher is a former senior executive in a $30B Fortune 500 company. However, what you won’t see on his résumé is that he grew up in a household of abject poverty with two parents who were medically unable to work. He learned early how to read emotional volatility and became an elite leader by mastering empathy and precision under pressure. . This episode is for leaders navigating: Entitled teams and unspoken resentment Cancel culture minefields and performance fragility The tension between psychological safety and actual accountability It’s not a soft talk. It’s not a shaming session. . This is a fcuking masterclass in courageous feedback and real leadership in the era of emotional volatility. 💥 What We Confront in This Episode: What most leaders get dangerously wrong about feedback culture Why conflict avoidance is the silent killer of performance How to deliver feedback that lands firm but not harsh The invisible cost of leaders who want to be liked more than they want to be respected Why your top performers may be suffering in silence, while low performers drain your culture What Jeff learned about truth-telling from… and his alcoholic father and a Firm Feedback mentor. How to confront without collapsing trust Why psychological safety doesn’t mean protecting egos The #1 question to ask before giving any piece of feedback Why the future of leadership requires both steel and soul 💬 Power Quote: “Leadership isn’t about being liked. It’s about being trusted. And trust is earned in truth, never in avoidance.” ~ Jeff Hancher 👤 About the Guest: Jeff Hancher is a U.S. Army veteran, the founder of The Champion Forum, and the author of Firm Feedback in a Fragile World. With decades of leadership experience at the highest levels of the corporate world, Jeff now coaches elite business leaders on building feedback-rich cultures without losing their humanity or their edge.

07/09/2025
Part 2 of 2: K. Scott Griffith: How To Know If You're Managing "The Right" Risks
What if everything you thought was “safe”… is just a well-disguised risk? . In the second half of our explosive conversation, K. Scott Griffith, the man who helped architect the aviation safety system that reduced fatal crashes by over 95% returns to dismantle the illusion of safety hiding in plain sight. . This is not about fixing processes. It’s about the deeply uncomfortable truth: Most leaders incentivize the very behaviors that lead to catastrophic failure, then call it “accountability.” In This Episode: The dangerous difference between outcome accountability and behavioral accountability Why success is the #1 cause of blind spots in high-performing teams How most “safety” systems are designed to punish honesty and reward silence What we’re getting dangerously wrong about autonomous vehicles and AI Why leaders must stop asking “Who’s to blame?” and start asking “What made that seem like a good idea at the time?” The silent epidemic of risk-blindness in elite organizations How Griffith’s Collaborative Just Culture™ framework multiplied reporting and prevented disasters in healthcare, aviation, and nuclear power Why your emotional reactivity as a leader is often the root of fear in your culture How system failures often look like people problems — until it’s too late The moment Griffith realized America’s legal system was doing more harm than good… and how we can fix it 🔥 Power Quote: “If your people are afraid to tell you the truth… you’re not running a safe organization. You’re just running it blind.” — K. Scott Griffith 🎙 Guest Bio: K. Scott Griffith is a former American Airlines pilot and physicist turned safety pioneer. He is the architect behind High-Reliability Organizing and the founder of SG Collaborative Solutions, where he’s helped transform risk and accountability systems for the FAA, NASA, Fortune 100 companies, and global healthcare institutions.

🎙️ The Leader’s Guide to Managing Risk: Why Accountability Without Empathy Will Destroy Your Culture. | K. Scott Griffith What if the very thing destroying trust in your organization… is how you handle risk? In a world obsessed with performance, perfection, and accountability, have we lost the courage to ask: What if it's not the people, but the system? . In this episode of The Dov Baron Show, we sit down with K. Scott Griffith, a pilot, physicist, and the former safety lead at American Airlines, as well as the architect of High-Reliability Organizing, a breakthrough method that helped the FAA and NASA redefine safety and human performance. . But this is not about airlines. It’s about the critical failure happening inside your company, your culture, and your leadership right now. . Scott shares how traditional management systems often blame individuals for systemic failures, which in turn sabotages innovation, trust, and long-term performance. . If you’re a leader navigating high stakes, complex systems, or emotionally charged environments… This conversation will permanently shift the way you think about failure, feedback, and the real definition of leadership. In This Episode: Why your most significant leadership blind spot might be how you respond to failure The difference between a “Just Culture” and a “Blame Culture,” and why most companies get it fatally wrong The real reason why innovation dies in most organizations (hint: it’s not a lack of talent) How Griffith helped NASA, the FAA, and healthcare leaders apply High-Reliability Organizing to prevent disasters How your emotional response as a leader shapes psychological safety across your organization What American Airlines taught Scott about systems failure, human behavior, and the illusion of control Why most organizations weaponize accountability—and how to reverse the damage The invisible cost of fear-based leadership: disengagement, turnover, and hidden sabotage How to build a culture where people tell you the truth—especially when it’s inconvenient The courageous conversation every leader must have with their team Power Quote: “Accountability without empathy isn’t leadership. It’s control dressed up in a suit.” ~K. Scott Griffith Guest Bio: K. Scott Griffith is the founder of SG Collaborative Solutions and the pioneer of High-Reliability Organizing (HRO), a framework adopted by aviation, healthcare, nuclear energy, and other high-stakes industries. He’s advised the FAA, NASA, and Fortune 100 companies on risk management, system design, and building cultures of trust without blame. Author of: The Leader’s Guide to Managing Risk.

The Fractal Truth of Leadership: Perry Marshall on 80/20, Chaos, and Reinvention
The Fractal Truth of Leadership: Perry Marshall on 80/20, Chaos, and Reinvention What if the one thing sabotaging your leadership... is your addiction to doing too much of what doesn't matter? . You’ve heard of the 80/20 Rule. But what if I told you it’s not just a rule... It’s a recursive law of nature that governs your time, your team… and your destiny. In this explosive episode of The Dov Baron Show, I sit down with Perry Marshall, the Harvard Business Review-published strategist whose 80/20 model is now used by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Labs, backed by MIT scientists, and anchored in a $10 million Evolution 2.0 science prize announced at The Royal Society in London. . He’s been called one of the most expensive business consultants in the world. But what he teaches will cost you far more if you ignore it. . Because this isn’t about productivity hacks. It’s about the existential math of impact. . It’s about how to shed identities you’ve outgrown, how to navigate resistance as a signpost, and how to use mathematical truth as a diagnostic lens for leadership. . If you’re not just building a company, but forging a legacy! This is your mirror. And your wake-up call. . In This Episode: 🧠 How one recursive pattern holds the secret to scaling your business AND your inner transformation 🧬 Why 8020 isn’t a rule—it’s the fractal physics of reality itself 💥 The “infinite fractal” inside every 80/20—how one shift can collapse 100 tactics 🚪 Why your resistance is proof you’re walking the right path 🔥 The decision to legally change his name—and what it revealed about shedding identity 🧲 Why leaders stay trapped in their niche—and how to escape the illusion of safety 🧭 The 3 unshakable pillars of business mastery: 8020, The Star Principle, and Radical Simplification 🪞 What Perry learned from chaos theory, quantum recursion, and the Mandelbrot set ⚡ Why doing more keeps you average—and doing less makes you legendary 🧠 How to use 8020 as a diagnostic lens for influence, team design, and scale 🧠 POWER QUOTE From THE EPISODE: “If I don’t want to go that way… that’s probably the way.” — Perry Marshall . Guest Bio: Perry Marshall is a globally respected business strategist, whose reimagining of the 80/20 Principle is used by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Labs and featured in Harvard Business Review. He’s consulted in 300+ industries, created the world’s largest science research prize ($10M Evolution 2.0), and authored several bestselling books on marketing, simplification, and business evolution. Forbes and Inc. Magazine hail him as one of the most expensive—and effective—consultants in the world. . Who This Episode Is For: This episode is for the serious leader. The one who knows that staying still is its own kind of death.

Part 2 of 3 🎙️“Your Brain’s Not Broken. But Your Boundaries Might Be.” | Juliane Taylor Shore
If you think you're calm, logical, and in control... neuroscience says otherwise. Your brain scans for threats approximately 4–5 times per second.

This isn’t theoretical. This is embodiment. 🔥 This Episode Is for You If: · You’re a CEO, leader, or parent who keeps replaying conversations, wondering, “Why did I blow up?” · You crave relational depth but keep hitting invisible walls · You’ve done the work, but still find yourself fawning, freezing, or raging 💎 Listener Challenge: What’s your pause gesture?

Part 2 of 2: 🎬 Hollywood’s Myth, Humanity’s Truth: Peter Samuelson on Reinventing Legacy in a Broken Industry
Hollywood promised him meaning. Instead, it handed him neurosis, vanity, and burnout disguised as success. But what Peter Samuelson built after walking away from that illusion?

Part 1 of 2: 🧠 The Lie of Success, the Truth of Happy: Why Hollywood Broke Him, and Philanthropy Rebuilt Him | Peter Samuelson
What if the very thing you think will make you happy is the thing that's quietly killing you? Peter Samuelson produced 27 Hollywood films, worked alongside Peter Sellers, Steve McQueen, and Steven Spielberg, and stood at the epicenter of power, fame, and money. But none of it—not the red carpets, not the billion-dollar budgets—brought him what he was really after. . That only came when he met a dying child with one last wish. That moment shattered his world—and rebuilt his purpose. . In this raw, no-BS episode, Peter Samuelson takes us behind the scenes of his evolution from “successful film producer” to serial pro-social entrepreneur. From co-founding the Starlight Children's Foundation with Spielberg to launching the world’s first avatar-based social network for terminally ill teens, his journey is a masterclass in purpose-driven leadership. . And along the way? Practical jokes with Peter Sellers. Motocross requests from Steve McQueen. A $2.5M surprise donation from Spielberg. And the realization that happiness has nothing to do with success, and everything to do with what you’re willing to sacrifice for others. . 🔥 What You’ll Discover in Part 1: The real story behind Starlight and how Spielberg became its first chairman What Peter learned about trauma, joy, and immune response from a dying boy How a prank from Peter Sellers nearly sent him to Swiss prison The emotional cost of producing films for fame vs. purpose Why Samuelson says the happiest moment of his life didn’t happen in Hollywood How his book Finding Happy became a roadmap for every Gen Z and Millennial drowning in false narratives 🧠 Why This Episode Matters: This isn’t just a Hollywood tell-all. It’s a mirror. For every high-performer who’s crushed their goals but still wakes up empty, this is your moment of reckoning. Because chasing applause is easy. Building legacy? That takes guts. 🎯 Peter Samuelson’s Unique Genius: Peter doesn’t just build companies—he builds movements. Co-founder of the Starlight Children’s Foundation (w/ Spielberg) Creator of EDAR: patented mobile shelters for the unhoused Founder of First Star: helping foster youth access college CEO of PhilmCo Media: storytelling for social change Author of Finding Happy: part memoir, part guidebook for a life that actually matters 🚀 Calls to Action: ✅ Share this episode with someone chasing status and ignoring theirsoul. ✅ Leave a review if Peter’s story made you rethink what really matters. ✅ Pick up a copy of Finding Happy — available wherever books are sold (Target, Amazon, B&N). ✅ Visit: to explore his life’s work. .
