“Doing Good and Doing Well” with Zoe Chance
The story of how I met Zoe is very public, but in case you haven’t heard it, here’s the short version: We met on a plane, sitting next to each other, when she opened a conversation by saying, “I like your hat.” I had no idea those four words would change the course of my life.
In this episode, Zoe and I get into the nitty-gritty on the power of no: How to say no, why to say no, and why saying ‘no’ may be the most generous thing you can do. We chat in-depth about how to influence others in a way where both people come out ahead, and of course Zoe shares her story of a chance encounter with lasting impact.
Oh – and as a bonus, we finally get to hear her side of the “I like your hat” story. And yes, it’s the first time I was hearing it as well.
So please enjoy this epic Season 1 finale of One New Person.
