Sound Behavior, With Don Crosby

Our Sound Behavior Podcast is back with Duncan returning from 2012 who was a distinguished guest on my Sound Behavior Radio program. We've been talking through emails and a couple of reconnect conversations and he kindly agreed to be my first podcast relaunch. Blind from birth his sense of humor and optimism is amazing. His natural behavior described by his ProScan assessment as an ease for those who know him receiving a gift of encouragement... which also has a direct collation with his love and brilliance for music, his heart beats through his piano. If you think you're having a rough day consider your eyes being duct taped shut navigating life through your different senses. Then let's see if your attitude changes with an ability to put life into a deeper perspective? My history with the blind community is absent of pity, but with the greatest of respect... because through their eyes shines, the true love of God.

One circumstance of being an entrepreneur is how the daily essential functions of what we do so closely connect with our natural behaviors. No matter where you are in your career life, I think you’ll enjoy this episode as I introduce Rachel to herself and she gravitas toward learning about herself from a stranger. As the host I am always rewarded by the giggles of confirmation from such wonderful people… Another fun conversation of nuggets of why, we do what we do… Meet my guest – Rachel, Pasadena, CA ~ Ps. Blue Lotus Collective is a social media and influencer-marketing agency specializing in lifestyle brands.

During my speaking engagements and on this podcast I often mention that “Every One Has A Story”, as is the title from the first chapter of my book, The Why You Do... Well, I could have listened to my guest Patrick Kilpatrick for hours... what an interesting professional who is the best-of-the-best; he has worked with the absolute who's who of Hollywood, and his stories are endless. There were so many questions I intended to ask, but while introducing him to his natural behaviors my challenge was talking because personally my enjoyment was listening to Patrick. Another fun conversation of nuggets discussing the why, we do what we do… Meet my guest - Patrick Kilpatrick, Hollywood, CA ~ Ps. Please go to his website - www.PatrickKilpatrick.com purchase his books and if you can even visit one of his book signing events listed on his website. Your book purchasing options are either hard cover or digital, but why not get both... one signed copy!

Have you ever considered how the various experiences and early passions have contributed toward molding us for whom we've become? This episode is an excellent example of reviewing a person's career to learn how even some of our most primitive occurrences assist us with the development of how we've evolved... that is, when all of the behavioral traits are allowed to be in alignment. Another fun conversation of nuggets of why, we do what we do... Meet my guest - Jeff, Raleigh, NC ~  

We all have a story and here is a really nice woman who has the role as mother, wife and the burning desire to get her business launched... she is easily described as a passionate entrepreneur. She has the natural behavior, which aligns with her ambition for being the "Connection Guru" (the name of her business) a person who helps others with a greater value of connectivity. I hope you enjoy this fun conversation as she learns... Why She Does What She Does... My guest Shana, Charlotte, NC ~

My prefect storm is having the key people who perform professional services such as dental, family practice doctor, therapeutic massage, physical therapy complete a behavioral survey to learn of their natural behaviors for predictable results. After a few chiropractic sessions and witnessing how he assisted my wife with her alignment and pain issues, I knew that Dr. Joe has the perfect behavior and the skill set to be my guy… I hope you enjoy this episode 015 with Dr. Joe, Charlotte, NC ~

For many of us we simply enjoyed the weekly humor of The Bob Newhart Show and the participation of each character. This episode is with my new friend John Voldstad, who was the other brother Daryl for eight seasons of the famed Bob Newhart TV series. But John wasn’t just the Other Brother Daryl; he’s enjoyed a healthy acting career on many movie sets packed with amazing scripts and meeting dozens of Hollywood royalty. I hope you enjoy this interesting interview with John as he describes his favorite episodes and special moments ~ Also... check out how I meant John in my Blog posting it's simply an enjoyable connection. Thanks in advance!

A few weeks ago while returning from New York I met the nicest young lady at the JFK Airport. While I was expecting a long two and half hours of waiting, a delightful conversation effortlessly breezed by and stole my expected boredom. If I remember right my contribution was more listening than talking, but I’ve learned the significance of having selective dialog, by allowing someone to express their feelings can be an appreciated experience. She was returning from a romantic rendezvous with someone of whom she thought that just maybe there was a future of long-term potential. By  the painful tone of her voice… I could sense the possible relief that probably her parents were experiencing as they were waiting for her to return home (only speculation), but I often explain to people, that “PUPPY LOVE IS REAL TO THE PUPPY”. Her feelings had been badly bruised; obviously she needed an old fashion banana split and an outstanding comedy to relieve her mind from the sensations of the emotional rollercoaster. As we

For obvious reasons I am unaware of the stories that historically my guests have experienced until we chat about their behavior. And not all the time… but frequently as I introduce their natural gifting and behavioral identity they share how they over came adversity by having these traits. During this episode Lisa opens up of how even with her relationship profile, she found inter strength to overcome the excruciating pain of being bullied. Not only has she put these sorrowful memories behind her, today she credit those experiences, which pivoted, toward her continued success. Too often we hear of about tragic endings and the collateral damage from bullying, our society needs more success stories like Lisa, from Orange County, California.

On one of my last flights I sat next to a guy who was living the American dream. Hi this is “Don Crosby with your Sound Behavior Minute”. After what seemed like hours of listening to Jackson talk about his family, business, cars, travel and amazing lifestyle… he asked me… so… sir what do you do for a living? I said, thank you for asking, I help people by introducing them… to themselves and to their loved ones… He was so fascinated that it took him only minutes to complete my assessment… then his eyes began to water as I introduced him… to his true self… of stress, pure exhaustion and low satisfaction… and then we talked like old friends for the next 2 hours until we landed. I believe sitting next to Jackson was no coincidence… he, like too many people are troubled from real life and the value to have someone to understand them is priceless. Thank you for your interest and supporting Sound Behavior.

Last week I was talking with George, and he is not doing well because he feels flawed. Naturally his behavior is very strong and comes across harsh and hurting the very people he loves. Even his own parents don’t understand him… now he is almost to the point of a nerves breakdown, and he is asking why? Have you ever wondered why you seem to self-destruct your relationships? Hi this is Don Crosby with your Sound Behavior Minute. We are living during a time when people are more stretched than ever… and like George...you may feel internally very lonely. Our time together was rich because I was able to teach and encourage George by pointing out his natural God gifted abilities…why he does this…and why he reacts like that. There is great comfort in understanding yourself and “the why you do, what you do”.  

This interview has a special place in my heart because this episode is with my nephew Jacob, the younger of my brother’s two boys. We started introducing the ProScan assessments to my nephews before they were 10 years of age and here he is already 24-where have the years gone… my father, his grandfather would be so proud of them both. Listening to Jacob reminded me of some of the dynamics and choices of living off campus during my day. In preparation for our interview I printed off a series of Jacob’s scans to discuss his behavioral modification from his youth to where he is now moving into his set adulthood behavior. We discussed his part-time pizza delivery job; common social distractions and I even asked about what behavior he would look for in a special woman. Without hesitation you’ll enjoy this episode. If so please rank it for us… thanks in advance for listening to Sound Behavior!

This profound interview with one of my best friends captures a man’s passion from an early age to break the generational pain of being raised by an abusive father… to himself becoming an amazing father, an accomplishment as a young man he couldn’t conceive possible. His excruciating childhood prepared him to become a marine; the combination of his god-gifted behavior and early abuse crafted his training excellence as an accomplished leader. Then fast forward his life to when his wife walked out, his career changed from being a Gunnery Sergeant of the US Marine Corps to becoming a full-time father and mother. Jack is man familiar with the seriousness of battle, during his entire adult life he has fought the mental incarceration remaining from the Vietnam War. Today, at 70-years young he still has the heart of a lion, the unconditional love of a mother, the tough love of a father and the inter-strength from everyone who knows Jack Parson’s, because he is still the “Gunny”! Once a marine…always a marine as

A few weeks ago I was meeting with a couple who have been married for 35 years and the wife confessed that she feels their relationship is empty! Have you ever wondered why it seems that your spouse fails to understand you…? Hi this is Don Crosby with your Sound Behavior Minute. And, whether you’ve been married for 35 years or you just said I DO…the issues of miss communications in your relationship are seriously predictable. What came from my conversation with Becky and Bob was interesting… Becky confessed “I still love my husband… but I don’t like him”. Bob was stunned because he didn’t know it was that serious, apparently she was good at masking her true feelings into their children. Their turning point was when I compared their communication styles with their natural behaviors. Now, they are working together at recovering their original spark back into their relationship. Thank you for listening to Sound Behavior…

When a person understands their passion the importance is receiving the peace of mind to implement the ability to live in the freedom of purpose. This episode is a conversation confirming a professional woman’s natural behaviors… We didn’t discuss stress or troublesome areas, however when someone is distributing life’s pressures with optimism and receiving many of their needs high satisfaction is frequently the outcome… and in this case… the end result. I hope you enjoy my episode with Jessica in Sacramento, CA. Thanks in advance! Don

Relationships are naturally complicated which suggest the importance of have aspiring students of behavior, but remember even apprentices need the right tools. Since the beginning of time when man first started crafting lifestyle conveniences, the chisel and hammer came before the wheel… Naturally we understand that many daily activities require the proper tools… It’s hard to replace a flat tire without a wrench and jack. You shouldn’t try tightening a screw with a hammer. Nor attempt to remodel your kitchen with a chain saw. These examples remind us that the RIGHT tools are necessary for perfection. Most of us understand the importance of having the proper tools to repair and build things, but when it comes to using tools to understand family, co-workers or ourselves the idea seems to be spoken in a foreign language. During this podcast my friend Josh from Charlotte, NC and I discuss how his training and the ProScan measurement tool has impacted his life. Personally... I hope you enjoy this epi

The other day I was privileged as the guest speaker for a group of young professionals from the fields of accounting, law and investment banking. My only regret was that there wasn’t enough time for specifics and the seating was so casual that it was difficult room to facilitate. One of those participants asked me some great questions, which prompted her to become our guest for this episode.

When Sound Behavior was syndicated as a weekly radio show it didn’t take us long to have a list of guests supporting amazing content for several months in advance. But now, that Sound Behavior has changed the broadcasting venue from radio to podcast, finding guests has to be an intentional effort of talking to people. Thank you for your interest in our Sound Behavior Podcast. Hopefully, you’ll be an important participant of our journey by listening via RSS feed or sharing with your friends, family and maybe even becoming a guest. Last week in preparation for a corporate phone session I introduced the launching of this new podcast… So here is episode 02 – Brittany, a professional woman from Jacksonville, FL

Sound Behavior is back on the air broadcasting as a 30-minute podcast replacing our weekly one-hour radio show. As the production and design components were being checked off my list the only missing ingredient of launching the new project was guest interviews. Then while on a consulting project in Tallulah, Louisiana one of the women attendees one of my morning classes mentioned I needed to connect with her son Ben in Nashville, TN... and when I mentioned the start of my podcast… she said oh ya! But what makes this referral story so interesting… is this session was in the Madison Correctional Center where I was working with men and women inmates who are getting prepared for release from prison into society. She wrote Ben’s information on a post-em note, handed it to me and a week later he and I connected for him to be my guest first on Sound Behavior. Ben is a very gifted young man with both a beautiful voice and an amazing story, you must listen to this first episode and go to his website www.BenWaits.
