Hi Jonathan,

I appreciate your continuous sharing of insightful thoughts and ideas. Your explanation of the true meaning of "status" resonates with me. I used to believe that pursuing status based on external factors wasn't my preference. However, I understand now that being able to use my skills, talent, and personality to be helpful to others feels fulfilling. Unconsciously, I have always aspired to be the person others want to spend time with, and I realize that this could be the kind of status worth embracing and pursuing.

It could be part of your strategy, but I find myself purchasing your products and seeking information from you because of your dedication to "make others successful," which is also one of my favorite values of IDEO.

I'm looking forward to the episode about the usefulness of things.

I love your definition of status, and insight on how to use status in sales. Really inspired me - I’ve been furiously reviewing all my ad copy to focus on elevating status for our clients. Love this - glad you have this amazing hobby! :)

Super insightful! I started reading the Expert Secrets book and I got to the chapter there this is explained… I loved that I knew before I read it because it made so much more sense.

Great episode, keep them coming please 🙌
