Mick Hunt - USA Today bestselling author, host of Mick Unplugged, and founder who sold his first insurance agency for $17 million three years after starting it from scratch - sits down to talk about where emotional intelligence actually comes from. For him it wasn't a leadership seminar; it was being ten years old and learning to read his father's moods to protect his mother and sister. He makes the case that your "why" is meaningless until you find your "because," that composure is a trainable skill rather than a personality trait, and that the whole cult of the difficult journey is a trap - if there's an elevator, take it. Plus: how he landed Damon John, Chris Voss and Robert Irvine as mentors by simply asking, why he'll never use AI to replace a person but will replace the parts of their job they refuse to automate, the interview question that reveals who someone really is, and why he'd rather you tell him no fast than yes slowly.
