00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Arrow dot net is more than just a podcast. It

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,879
is a podcast network. So far, it's twenty different podcasts,

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,759
one of them being vocal dfrag. Come on, you do

4
00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:13,160
it every day. You're always asking other people what do

5
00:00:13,199 --> 00:00:15,279
you think? How do you think I should do this?

6
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:18,320
What color goes best with this color? Hey? Sometimes you

7
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:20,600
got to stand on your own two feet and ask

8
00:00:20,679 --> 00:00:26,120
your own questions, then question the answers. It's called vocal defragging.

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,600
It will change your life. It's on Arrow dot net,

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,920
Rroe dot net. Enjoy the exploration. I'm the guy that's

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,560
always asking questions. And the reason why is because the

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,280
fund begins when you start researching for answers such as

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,320
what is the best way to work with somebody who

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:52,719
obviously has consumed the corporate kool aid? Plus peaceful ways

15
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:56,840
to be you without selling out to those making decisions.

16
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:00,119
My name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.

17
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:03,719
I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,

18
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:07,200
then activate. I call it the daily Mess. It is

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,319
a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah, it's my

20
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,799
morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,680
as people tend to throw things to the side because

22
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:18,719
we think we're going to deal with it later on.

23
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:21,840
When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's

24
00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:25,480
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,

25
00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:31,040
but by doing the research, the picture itself becomes clearer.

26
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,680
This is the daily mess. We all have them. We

27
00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:38,200
all question how we're going to deal with him. But

28
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:40,920
what is the best way to work with somebody a

29
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,959
co worker who has been consumed by the company's Jesus

30
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:50,280
juice or company kool aid. The key is not to

31
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:54,560
fight the kool aid person, just don't get it spilled

32
00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:57,840
on your shirt. But is there a peaceful way to

33
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,000
create side by side with someone who has chosen to

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,959
go overboard with their okay love for the company, and

35
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,840
make sure that we're playing by all the rules. In

36
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,400
other words, they have drank the kool aid and usually

37
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,520
isn't too shy to remind you when you've done something wrong.

38
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,159
The golden rule is to revert from all things that

39
00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:22,759
come across as a challenge. Do not go into an

40
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,400
uncomfortable situation alone company kool aid. People don't see work

41
00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:32,639
as their job. It's a huge part of their personal

42
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,719
lives as well, which means what well if you're caught

43
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,319
knocking the company, you're pretty much cutting them down as well.

44
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,280
They take it very personal. Instead of saying that policy

45
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:47,759
doesn't work with me, walk into a very bad situation.

46
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,719
Invested in locating how the current leadership would want this

47
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,879
to take place. You were not redirecting bad energy, not

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,719
opposing it. Just be aware of what you're saying to

49
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,240
all people. Because kool aid people, they've got tributaries. In

50
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,879
other words, they got people on the sidelines that are

51
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:16,000
still watching you. God. Hey, coming up next, when struggling

52
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,479
with those co workers who have obviously swallowed the kool aid,

53
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,360
how can we peacefully find solutions and find a victory? Hey,

54
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,120
thanks for coming back to the daily mess. When struggling

55
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:31,520
with co workers who have drank the company kool aid.

56
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:36,439
Although it feels unbelievably uncomfortable for those who have said, ah,

57
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,400
I'm not walking that way, the thing about it is, though,

58
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,520
is that you've got to learn to speak their street.

59
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:49,199
The positive conversations include mission statements, values, leadership visions, and

60
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,080
company key buzzwords. Oh yeah, the stuff that you tend

61
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,319
to roll your eyes over. You might have to put

62
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,840
that in your daily vocabulary when you're at work, you're

63
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:04,360
on their lay of land and within those four walls

64
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:08,120
of business and not pleasure. You always have to use

65
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:13,120
your words strategically. You don't have to believe it. You

66
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,720
borrow their dialect. Stop being the messenger, give it to them.

67
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,800
As one radio morning show once told me, the goal

68
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,920
is to learn how to cuddle up to where the

69
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:28,199
money is. Kool aid drinkers, oh, they know the way

70
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,600
to money. Don't let it affect the workday. Your job

71
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:36,759
security doesn't need a huge dent put in it. Keep receipts,

72
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:45,560
not resentment. Stay human, don't go cynical. Loyalty comes from fear, gratitude,

73
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:49,560
and survival. Kool aid drinkers are at work and they

74
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,319
want to play it safe. Don't outsource your thinking. When

75
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:01,360
you stay professional, you stay employed. Don't drink the kool aid,

76
00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:06,000
but respect those who are just flat ass drunk with it.

77
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,959
I'm Marrow and that's the daily mess
