Why do so many entrepreneurial types rely on teamwork at work, but struggle to be a team player at home?

Over Pete Pearson’s 35 years as a therapist and coach, he’s come to the conclusion that successful relationships are team-like relationships. Pete and his wife, Ellyn Bader (check her out in episode 194), have developed some super simple, but extremely effective, techniques for negotiation and calming down when triggered. And as renowned public speakers, authors, and founders of The Couples Institute, they’ve shared these techniques with millions of people.

In this episode, Pete leads Jayson through a body-mind exercise that could be just the tool you need to change the way you react to stress in conflict, forever.

Here are a few of the highlights:
