Well, it's almost Groundhog Day... tomorrow... Who cares if Puxatony Phil will see his shadow! The question is: who will listen to The Real Brian Show? Those that listen will get Spring early! Those who don’t will receive eternal winter! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!
Happy Friday! Welcome back to a new edition of The Real Brian Show! We've got a lot to bring you this week! Superbowl and refereeing in sports thoughts. Captain Influence tried a new coffee... uh-oh... The Orville and Manifest updates. Thoughts on Unbreakable and Split as we prepare to watch Glass tonight!! Some gaming experiences and thoughts. Really fun thoughts actually. You're dang right our thoughts are fun. What else could they be?!? We'll also talk about IQ vs EQ. LOL, I have a funny story to share about this.
Yeah... we basically end your week right, bringing you a REAL show for REAL people.
Dang right.
There was a funny story that sparked this topic. I was talking with a rocket scientist and former physics teacher about various topics, including music, college majors, and physics to name a few. At one point, she said her mom wanted her to major in English and minor in music. She, however, said that she was smarter than that.
I was like...wait... what?!? I take offense to that!
I consider myself to be very smart (or knowledgable) in many areas. I'm not as knowledgable in the areas of physics and math as she is, but I guarantee I am in the areas of music, the human psyche, and business, also to name a few.
This sparked a great conversation that day (and also in this week's episode) about IQ vs EQ. EQ is essentially "emotional intelligence" or soft skills or street smarts. There's more and more encouragement towards boosting your EQ. While IQ is very important, we also need EQ. It's essential. It's also essential, especially in leadership and management. Not to mention being essential in every day personal life. We share some great benefits to having, and boosting, a good EQ.
