In this "Lessons" episode, Seth Godin, author of This Is Strategy and more than 20 bestselling books, explains why most people confuse tactics with strategy and how defining a clear direction can transform decision-making. He explores why strategy begins with deciding who to become rather than following an established playbook, how focusing on a small group of customers can drive sustainable growth, and why building meaningful connections matters more than chasing attention. Seth also challenges conventional ideas about risk, revealing how entrepreneurs can make uncertainty more manageable through deliberate choices and controlled experimentation.

In this "Lessons" episode, Dr. Jud Brewer, Brown University neuroscientist and author of *Unwinding Anxiety*, explains why willpower alone is not enough to break unwanted habits and change behavior. Drawing on neuroscience and his research into habit formation, he explores how the brain learns automatic behaviors through rewarding experiences and how everyday habits can gradually develop into addictive patterns. Dr. Brewer breaks down the role of positive and negative reinforcement, explaining how behaviors can be reinforced by either pursuing pleasure or escaping discomfort. He also reveals why understanding the cues and rewards behind our habits can be more effective than simply trying to exert greater willpower.

Rick Rosenfield is the co-founder of California Pizza Kitchen, the $1 billion restaurant brand he built with his law partner, Larry Flax, after the two left careers as federal prosecutors to open a single pizza restaurant in Beverly Hills in 1985. Funded with second mortgages and $300,000 from friends, that one location grew into a public company with more than 265 restaurants and roughly $1 billion in annual revenue. In 2011, they sold CPK to Golden Gate Capital for approximately $470 million. Credited with pioneering California-style pizza, Rosenfield chronicled the journey in The California Pizza Kitchen Story and continues to invest in and advise new restaurant concepts through his venture firm.

Brian also explores the shift from fee-for-service medicine toward population-based healthcare and why aligning incentives around keeping people healthy could transform the way healthcare is delivered.
