How To Avoid Storytelling Traps


Bo: Okay, we’re here with Dr. Joan Rosenberg. Joan, let’s just jump right into this—let’s work something out, unrehearsed. It’s a question I get all the time. I’m asking people to tell their story, of which, you know, the most poignant stories as we know are the dark ones, the ones that are the defining […]


Set Your Story Free


Bo: Alright, we’re back with Dr. Joan Rosenberg. Let’s work something out, just because you know me well enough, and YOU know me well enough, that I’ve just been obsessed or haunted by this term to “be the best” at what I do. Regardless of the discipline or field, I believe that’s what we’re all […]


Your Brain On Storytelling


Bo: Joan lets talk about brain integration and storytelling and what they have to do with each other. Joan: Let’s do brain integration, storytelling and health. What’s so interesting about this is an integrated brain is a healthy brain. So what exactly does that mean? It means that the left hemisphere of our brain and […]


Storytelling vs. Dumping


Bo: We’re back with Dr. Joan Rosenberg. Joan, let’s talk about the difference between storytelling and dumping because there’s a distinct difference, right? Joan: There’s a big difference. Bo: You cannot dump on your audience. Joan: No, no, in fact you don’t even want to dump on your best friend. Think of dumping as disowning. […]


Own Your Story, Own Your Life


Bo: Hey, it’s Bo and I have a very special guest with me today, and a good friend too, Dr. Joan Rosenberg. Thank you for being here. It’s amazing to have you. Every time I do an event, Joan comes to them because what I’m asking of you, in fact what I demand of you, […]


The Art of Performance


Bo: I mean we laugh a lot because our kids are, you know, …. (shakes his head) Dawn: Especially our youngest, Lyla. Bo: Yeah, they’re nuts. Dawn: She’s crazy. Bo: They’re crazy. And they’re funnier than heck. And they’ve got these wild crazy personalities that just come out. And they’re bold. Dawn: Everyone’s always like, […]


Building A Great Partnership, Part II


Bo: It’s very tricky in a relationship to be coaching your spouse. I would pretty much stay out of that. Dawn: I don’t listen to anything he says. Zero. Bo: She never does anything. She never participates. Dawn: We were laughing about this the other day. Every New Year, he loves to get these big, […]


Building A Great Partnership


Bo: The one thing about our relationship that has been true since the day we met, from when we first got married to now after 17 years, the one constant that we’ve always had is that we’re always building something. We’re building a thing all the time. Dawn: Yeah, we’re fighting for something together. Bo: […]


Get Next to Greatness


When I was a kid, my brother and I had dreams of playing pro football. I think I was 12 when my dad took us to our first pro football game. We were so excited. It was the L.A. Rams versus the Oakland Raiders and it was pre-season game. My dad got tickets and we […]


Getting Off Balance


Bo: We get asked that question all the time. Balance. People love to use that word. I think people use the word ‘balance’ so that they don’t achieve anything. I do. I think they use that word if somebody’s really successful at something. Like say somebody is a really great basketball player. People go, “Well, […]
