Launch of the Personality Poker Podcast

After a long hiatus, my podcast is back with a new name and renewed focus. Introducing the Personality Poker® podcast. To kick things off, I released the Introduction chapter from the audiobook. What makes it unique is that it was generated using my AI voice clone through ElevenLabs, and the results are surprisingly impressive. Sure, […]

Personality Poker vs Other Personality Tests

People often ask me if Personality Poker® is just DiSC or Myers-Briggs with cards. The answer? A resounding NO. Personality Poker was designed specifically for innovation, not just as another personality test. And unlike traditional written assessments, it reveals so much more. Personality Poker is more than a game; it’s a breakthrough experience that exposes […]
My Personality Poker Sizzle Reel!
🎯 I’m Doubling Down on Personality Poker® Twenty years ago, I created a card-based activity to help teams collaborate more effectively and innovate more consistently. It was a side project I never expected to take off. But over the years, Personality Poker has been played by more than 250,000 people across the globe. And in that time, I’ve […]
From Gong Show Dreams to Game-Changing Games: How a Childhood Fantasy Became My Life’s Work

I was never destined to be an engineer. Sure, I studied industrial engineering at Cornell, but my only A+ came in public speaking. (Yes, at Cornell, we actually had A+ as a grade.) That was the first academic clue that I wasn’t meant to be in a lab—I was meant to be on a stage. […]
Why Writing My Latest Book Was a Huge Mistake

(And why I’d probably do it again…) In June 2024, I released what might be my most important book to date: PIVOTAL: Creating Stability in an Uncertain World. It tackles some of today’s most pressing challenges—chaos, unpredictability, and the rise of AI—with frameworks that help individuals and organizations find clarity, focus, and strength. And yet, […]
Doubling Down on What Works: Innovate Where You Differentiate

In a world obsessed with chasing the next big thing, I’m doing the opposite. Instead of scrambling to reinvent myself or my work, I’m doubling down—or maybe even going all in—on Personality Poker®. Why? Because in my book PIVOTAL, I emphasize a crucial principle: innovate where you differentiate. Success isn’t about chasing every new trend. […]
Creating Music with AI

What you hear and see below is 100% AI-generated lyrics, music, images, and captions. I’m focusing more on Personality Poker these days, so I thought a song about it that sounded like an old-time Vegas-style song would be fun. ChatGPT created the lyrics. Because it already knew about Personality Poker, I only needed to ask […]
Watch me on a Network Reality Television Show

The first time I was on a major television network was in 2008 when I was on CNBC’s The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch. That was fun, as I shared the session with Mel Robbins and Darren Hardy. I’ll have to dig up that video from my archives. Then, in 2012, I was on ABC […]
Are You Playing With a Full Deck?
It’s no secret that successful teams aren’t just made up of people with similar mindsets—they’re built on diversity of thought and complementary strengths. But how do you know if you’re playing with a full deck? Werner Puchert shares a wonderful 10-minute summary of his assessment of Personality Poker, a simple and interactive way to understand […]
