I'm terrible at being quiet and listening. That is why I was so pleased when Jeff Brainard, from Catch Your Limit Consulting, asked if I'd be willing to do a Freak Factor CODcast interview.
Catch Your Limit is a great example of how the freak factor can be applied to organizations. They are the world's only consulting firm that specializes in "management, marketing and fish cleaning services" and their CODcast, not podcast, stands for Creativity on Demand. I'm hoping to share Jeff's story with you all soon.
We talked for about an hour and discussed a little bit of everything, including: scissors, baseball, marriage, Hardees Thickburgers, parenting, Lance Armstrong, school, careers, outsourcing, interviews, management and the outrageous rewards for being the best.
Below are some specific questions the interview might help to answer.
- How can fixing your weaknesses actually damage your strengths?
- Why should you go farther in the direction that people tell you not to go in?
- What do the people that like you the best, like the least about you?
- How can you get a head start on success?
- Why is Shaquille O'Neal so bad at free throws and why doesn't it matter?
- Why was Michael Jordan bad at baseball?
- Why won't Lance Armstrong ever win a marathon?
- Why do you have to be willing to be the worst in order to be the best?
- What can Hardees Thickburgers teach us about our career?
- Why should you let your kids do poorly in school?
- How can the Freak Factor improve your marriage?
- How should you respond to the interview question about your biggest weakness?
- Why should you outsource tasks that you don't like to do?
- Why bother trying to be the best?
