Harvard Business School Professor: This One Research Study Will Change Your Life and Career
Descripción del Episodio
Today's episode is going to completely change the way you think about every conversation you've been too afraid to have.
Ever wonder why your relationships feel surface level, even after years?
Why you feel lonely, even when you're surrounded by people?
Why you say “I’m fine,” even when you’re not?
Why some people earn trust instantly, while you struggle to be taken seriously?
Harvard Business School’s Dr. Leslie K. John, a behavioral scientist who has spent decades studying honesty, trust, privacy, regret, and decision-making, is here to teach you the answer – and it's not what you think.
In today’s episode, you will learn the surprising science of honesty, vulnerability, and human connection.
Her research has found why the things you don't say are quietly hurting your health, your relationships, and your career – and exactly what to do about it.
For years, the advice has been: don't overshare, at work or with friends. Keep things private. But decades of Harvard research say that advice is backwards.
Dr. John's findings are shocking, and reveal that the real problem, the one deepening loneliness and costing you the career and connections you want, is undersharing.
In this episode, you’ll learn that 89% of people would choose to work with, trust, and hire someone who reveals something difficult, even something unflattering, over someone who stays quiet.
That keeping secrets doesn't just feel heavy. Research shows it lowers cognitive performance, IQ, and is linked to measurable declines in physical health.
That one of the most common deathbed regrets is “I wish I had shared my feelings more.”
That you can use The Disclosure Matrix, which is the exact decision-making tool Dr. John teaches at Harvard Business School, so you always know when to speak up and when to stay quiet.
And, you’ll learn the 2-sentence framework that makes any hard conversation easier to start.
If you've ever held something back because you didn't want to make things awkward, said "I'm fine" when you weren't, or wished your relationships felt deeper and more honest, this episode will change the way you communicate forever.

Blunt Force Trauma
By shows
Blunt Force Trauma is a new serialised investigation into the unsolved murder of Faithe Ely, from EchoSpace and host Troy Taylor (from award winning podcast Among The Missing). On March 28, 2021, Faith Ely was found lifeless on the side of a dark Oklahoma highway, her death quickly being ruled a hit and run. But the evidence doesn’t line up. The injuries don’t tell a clear story. And the more you dig, the harder it becomes to make sense of the official narrative. What should be a straightforward accident begins to feel anything but…
