Today's episode is the third in a multi-part series that takes an in-depth look at the history of China's foreign policy. We discuss how Chinese foreign policy shifted after the Cultural Revolution. This culminated with China and the U.S. under the Nixon administration forging a new alliance that reshaped global politics. 

Brian is joined by Kenneth Hammond, a Professor of East Asian and Global History at New Mexico State University and an activist with the organization Pivot to Peace.

"Healing Prayer" by Ann-Sofie & Rasmus

Even when people disappoint you and life hurts you, keep your heart open. This is how heroes roll.

Heartset Work is an Act of Heroism

Full-on creativity without committed recovery destroys longevity.

Make time to rest, exercise, meditate, walk in nature, keep a journal and study [no, devour] books that reveal new territories of unimaginable possibilities.

An Insight on Achieving Longevity [and Greatness in Business]

What makes a great leader is turning down the voice of ego and turning up the volume of service.

As you rise in human maturity, you’ll be less interested in trivial pursuits.  As you discover a mission that is larger than your own life, a bravery and nobility beyond intellectual understanding will begin to emerge. The more you connect with a cause that is of helpfulness to other humans, the chains of your previously perceived reality fall away. And you will ascend toward a happiness that knows few bounds. And a peace that requires no luxuries.

How to Rise in Human Maturity

Much of my personal leadership journey has been an exercise in building self-love.

...a lot of my healing work over the past 20 years has been a passion to accept and appreciate whatever it is that I am.

...my largest private dedication has been to excavate my weaknesses in hot pursuit of that which is my highest.

I’m sure you’re on the same path. I'm no better than you, of course. As a leader, producer or as a person. And for your magic, I truly honor you.

Learn 2 truths to amplify self-love in this 2 pt. series of The Daily Mastery Podcast.

A simple idea to get you to your next level: to earn more you must learn more. As you learn what the best do, you will develop new awareness. With better awareness, you can make better choices. And with better choices, you are certain to see better results. Investing in learning is the smartest investment you’ll ever make.

Too many people never pick up a book after they’ve finished school. Too many people spend more time watching TV than getting deep inside the mind’s of the greatest people who have walked the planet. Too many people have closed their minds to new insights and powerful thoughts.

I challenge you- this day- to leave the safe harbor of the known and step into the unknown, the place where the highest possibilities of your life live. Learn something new. Read from a new book. Meet a new person or try a new type of food for lunch. We live on SchoolHouse Earth. And a great life comes via great learning.

Investing in Learning is the Smartest Investment You'll Ever Make
