  • Exceptional

    I took Professor Christensen's class years ago, and this podcast is a fantastic refresher. The negotiation tactics discussed are practical and grounded in reality, which I find incredibly helpful in my day-to-day work. He has a great knack for explaining complex strategies clearly without getting bogged down in academic jargon.

    It’s solid, actionable advice whether you’re a former student or a new listener.

  • Great guests, brilliant host

    Took a negotiations course from Stan at BYU and was learned of the podcast there. He is BRILLIANT and full of great stories. I’ve enjoyed listening to the podcast ever since. 10/10 would recommend for those that are entrepreneurially minded, or just hoping to sharpen the edge to their negotiations skillsets (because we ALL negotiate daily!)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Blake Mycoskie: No Magic Pill
Q: What role did community and relationships play in your healing and ongoing work after selling TOMS?
Community was essential; a long-standing men's group helped me stay accountable and supported through depression, and the Enough bracelet became a daily reminder to give back and stay connected with others, which was pivotal in rebuilding purpose.
Blake Mycoskie: No Magic Pill
Q: What was the hardest negotiation you faced during TOMS' growth and how did you approach it?
The hardest was aligning with retailers who wanted the product packaging changes for efficiency; I stood firm on our no-box approach to keep costs and environmental goals, then learned to add flexibility by applying real-world constraints and eventually switching when necessary to maintain partnerships.
How to Have Difficult Conversations with Sheila Heen
Q: What is a difficult conversation for you, and how do you define it?
A difficult conversation is any talk that feels difficult for you, and the key is understanding why it feels that way and deciding whether to have it at the right time rather than avoiding it.
Negotiating the New Cold War with China
Q: What should we do from a negotiation approach given the changing view of power?
Start with clear interests, keep high-level interaction, and seek a higher-equilibrium competitive posture while avoiding overreaching; use allies to create allied scale and secure favorable terms.
Negotiating the New Cold War with China
Q: So how's the sausage get made there at those high level conversations?
There were three phases to the Biden-era approach, with an emphasis on maintaining high-level diplomacy, avoiding mutual distrust, and using a mix of competitive actions and engagement to stabilize the relationship.
