7 Habits of People Who Make Other People Better (w/ Jon Gordon)

About this episode

The episode discusses seven habits that help individuals make others better and foster positive relationships.

What if becoming extraordinary isn't really about your own habits — it's about the habits you build that make everyone around you better? In this episode, we sit down with Jon Gordon, author of 33 books and 18 bestsellers, to explore seven habits that transform ordinary people into the kind of person others genuinely want to be around. We explore how the ratio of positive to negative interactions determines whether your relationships thrive, why shouting praise and whispering criticism builds deeper trust than you'd expect, and how the abundance mindset — giving freely, making the pie bigger, winning the person instead of the argument — creates energy that lifts everyone in your orbit. 👉🏼 Get the full Listener's Guide here ❤️‍🔥 Free Newsletter & the Chase Club 👋 New to Chasing Excellence?
