Changing Your Company’s Culture Starts with ONE Person | Ed Nottingham
Have you ever found yourself wondering how you can get others to start living The ONE Thing? Whether it would be possible for your company to start reflecting this in their culture?
So many people have reached out and say that they love The ONE Thing, but that they could never get their boss on board, that their company would never get behind it.
Your company’s culture starts with you and our guest today is an example of that. Ed Nottingham is inside human resources at a Fortune 100, he has zero direct reports, and he loved the ideas of The ONE Thing and wanted to start living it as an individual. He never thought this would work inside his company, but it’s become a major initiative there. We’re going to walk through the steps of what this looked like so that you — as an individual — can begin to empower others to live The ONE Thing.
Time Blocking | A New Model for Your Time
How is it that, when we all have the same amount of time, some of us achieve extraordinary things while others are simply ordinary?
Everybody knows how to set goals, but what we need to figure out is how to have a relationship with them. How do you stay in touch with the things that you said are important? It’s tough to do, but there’s a simple practice that will help you stay in contact with the things that are important.
We’ve previously talked about how to stop spending your time and start investing it. This happens when you create a model for your time, and the best model you can create for your time is time blocking. It’s so simple most people ignore it, but simplicity is how we get things done.
How to Stop Spending Your Time and Start Investing It!
Have you ever been in a time in your life where you were just overwhelmed? There was just so much on your plate that you genuinely couldn’t see how you could get it all done?
These are times in our lives where our systems — our models — have failed. At any time we are hitting the ceiling of our achievement, we are missing something. We’re either missing a person in the form of a mentor, coach, or new hire, or we’re missing a model or system.
We’re going to talk about the model and the system side — we’re going to talk about time. Most people, without realizing it, spend their time instead of investing it. They don’t have an expectation for a return on investment of what’s on their calendar or planner. There is a better way. There is a way to create a relationship with your goals that invests your time so you can achieve extraordinary results.
How ONE Dad & His Kids Live The ONE Thing Models | P.J. Mellana
Getting tired of putting in hours of work without seeing the results you want?
We all feel overwhelmed sometimes. Work, hobbies, side projects, family life — it’s hard to keep it all balanced, and we don’t want to have to give things up, either. If you want to live a big life, you have to start honing in on the ONE thing you need to get done to achieve your goals.
P.J. Mellana is a practice leader. He has embarked on a journey of living the ONE thing himself, has chosen to hold himself accountable to those principles, and has turned around and empowered other people to live it — not just in his organization, but with his kids. In this episode, P.J. shares how he started living The ONE Thing, how he lived the tools, and how he went on a 66-day challenge to form a power habit, not just for himself but for his 3 kids as well.
Dave Hollis | How to Get Out of Your Own Way
Are you the goal setter in your relationship?
Over the past few years, we’ve noticed a common challenge at our Couples Goal Setting Retreats: in most relationships, one person is a goal setter and the other is not, one person is open to trying anything and the other is a skeptic.
There’s nothing wrong with healthy skepticism, but it’s also important to examine how your natural state can influence your ability — and your partner’s ability — to grow. So, with this natural divide in almost every relationship, how can a couple grow together?
Dave Hollis, author of the upcoming Get Out of Your Own Way: A Skeptic’s Guide to Growth and Fulfillment and co-host of RISE Together, shares what happened when his partner (past guest Rachel Hollis) started her personal growth journey. While she gained personal momentum, he felt unfulfilled and overcome with fear — and until he confronted the fact that who he was getting further and further away from who he wanted to be, he was stuck. Listen to learn how Dave got out of his own way, and how you can too.
We recorded this conversation as part of our monthly ONE Thing webinar series. Every month, we feature an incredible author so that you can learn directly from them and ask questions.

How to Own Your Attention So You Can Build Better Habits | Anthony Ongaro
Who is winning in the fight for your attention?
Our attention is incredibly valuable — but the smartest designers in the world are creating applications and technology focused on ONE thing: getting your attention for as long as possible. It’s easy to give our attention to the shiny packaging and notifications that are right in front of us… but what becomes possible when we own our attention?
Anthony Ongaro got tired of all the distractions, so he developed a new approach called Break The Twitch, which helps people regain focus and act purposefully in the moment. You can’t form a new habit if you can’t give it attention for weeks on end, so the advice you’ll hear in this episode is critical for anyone who wants to live The ONE Thing.
