Applied Positivity

With Richard Spitzer

About this episode

In Episode 42, Richard Spitzer joins us to tackle the elusive concept of positivity. After a successful career and then facing unexpected challenges in retirement, Richard grew frustrated with the vague advice to “just be more positive.” Determined to find a concrete path forward, Richard applied his research background to transform positivity from an abstract ideal into a practical, measurable habit. The result is his Positivity Intelligence Course and tools like the PIQ workbook, Discover Your Positivity Intelligence, and the Positivity IQ Target and Scorecard.

After retirement, Richard encountered struggles that popular positivity advice couldn’t solve. Using his professional expertise, he became his own subject, deconstructing positivity into a step-by-step practice that could produce real, lasting change. Today, Richard’s work helps people shift from vague optimism to Applied Positivity—a structured approach that helps you build positivity into your life, understand how it impacts success, and recognize when you’re truly in a positive state.

Episode Takeaways

In this conversation, Richard offers insights into:

  • Positivity: What It Is and What It Isn’t: Understand what real positivity means and the difference it can make in achieving meaningful goals.
  • The 68% Sweet Spot: Learn about the ideal positivity level—what Richard calls the “positivity sweet spot”—and why it’s crucial for success.
  • Turning Intangible Concepts into Measurable Practices: Discover how Richard’s approach makes positivity measurable and practical, bridging philosophy and real-world application.
  • Applied Spirituality and Belief Building: Hear Richard’s thoughts on building belief in oneself through consistent, positive actions and the impact of spirituality on daily resilience.
  • Avoiding Positivity Pitfalls: Why positivity alone can’t compensate for the wrong goals and how to use positivity effectively in your career and personal life.

Ready to Build a Real Positivity Habit?

If you’re tired of hearing “just be positive” without real guidance, this episode is for you. Richard’s insights provide a practical roadmap for creating a positivity habit that drives results and helps you thrive, both in your career and beyond.

The result is his Positivity Intelligence Course, along with the book Discover Your Positivity Intelligence, the PIQ workbook, and the Positivity IQ Target and Scorecard. Richard’s methods go beyond traditional advice, offering 36 actionable lessons that help individuals build positivity as a sustainable habit for real-world success.

Ripple Effects

 

With Tina Frey, Gina Schatz & Angela Roth

About this episode

This episode brings together clips from three previous interviews to highlight a common theme I’ve noticed:

People who align with their purpose eventually reach a point where their career naturally impacts a larger audience, creating a ripple effect beyond their own fulfillment.

These interview excerpts tell the story of how embracing your career purpose leads to organic, growing influence.

Tina Frey: After decades in corporate, her design company is thriving, but now she feels called to a bigger purpose beyond herself.

Gina Schatz: A bodyworker and method founder who nearly changed careers, but when reminded of her gift, expanded it tenfold.

Angela Roth: From impacting one individual at a time in the police force to training coaches to impact large audiences through live events.
