Welcome to another episode of Press 1 For Nick! Today we have a treat for our listeners as we dive into the world of customer experience and strategy with Chris Hood, the mastermind business strategist and a recognized customer experience guru.

In this episode, Chris shuns the allure of inflated titles, underlining the importance of achievements over nominal status - a topic we thoroughly dissect, particularly the manipulation of titles for credibility in smaller businesses.

As we navigate the complex intersection of AI and customer engagement, Chris expresses a prudent skepticism about the rush towards AI and emphasizes the undeniable power of human connection. This notion is echoed by a poignant Super Bowl commercial by Discover Card, reinforcing the need for personal interaction in an age of increasing automation.

Furthermore, we explore the notion of Customer Value Alignment (CVA) through the intriguing Goldilock scale, debate the consequences of prioritizing profits over passion with an eye on the gaming industry, and discuss Disney's recent focus shift. The episode challenges businesses to hold fast to their foundational values while evolving with the unstoppable tides of technology and customer expectations.

Join us as we venture into business strategy and customer experience where Nick and Chris share their insights on how to not just survive but thrive in the digital age.

Welcome back to another episode of "Press 1 For Nick"! In today's episode, we have the pleasure of having a special guest, Dr. Michael Gervais, Founder of Finding Mastery.Dr. Mike is a world-renowned psychologist and author of "The First Rule of Mastery," bringing two decades of experience working with the elite in sports and business.

This episode revolves around the critical importance of self-talk, breathing, and mental training techniques like meditation and mindfulness. We'll be exploring how these practices can not only guide us through high-stress situations but also bolster our self-worth and internal validation, transcending the need for external approval—a concept Mike knows all too well, as he shares his battles with FOPO, the fear of other people's opinions.

We'll also delve into the transformative journey from being a puddle to embodying the resilient vastness of an ocean, discussing practical mindfulness practices, the power of journaling, and the profound impact of wise counsel. Additionally, Dr. Mike will unfold the significance of defining our identity beyond social roles and navigating the unpredictable landscape of public perception.

Join us as we unfold these mindful strategies that top athletes and successful professionals use to stay present, confident, and at the peak of their game. If you're ready to transform your mindset, let go of the fear of judgment, and embrace a life of mastery. Let’s get into this episode!
