Inside the world of peak performance, the transition to eating healthy food has become more than a movement; it’s a revolution. On this episode of The Burleson Box podcast, Dustin Burleson talks with Chef Allen Campbell about his book, The Game of Eating Smart: Nourishing Recipes for Peak Performance Inspired by MLB™ Superstars. Chef Allen explains why eating smart isn’t about calorie-counting and fad diets. It simply means consuming more nourishing food—including leafy greens, lean protein, and fresh fruit—that eventually decreases the desire to make unhealthy choices. The Game of Eating Smart includes insights from today’s top players on their approach to healthy living and performance nutrition, plus more than 80 easy-to-prepare and nutrient-dense recipes inspired by their food philosophies and favorite meals. On the program, we talk about Chef Allen's background, how he became a chef who focuses on nutrient-dense foods, his approach to writing the book, common misconceptions people have about their diet and cooking habits, the importance of sourcing high-quality ingredients and the benefits of cooking at home. With Chef Allen, you can learn how to incorporate more nutrient-dense foods into your diet, especially if you don't know where to start. This episode offers advice for anyone looking to improve their performance through diet. Dustin and Chef Allen explore how the conversation around food and health will continue to change in the coming years.   *** This episode is brought to you by Stax Payments, offering a FREE savings analysis for our listeners, where they will actually take your merchant statement with your current processor and show you where you are overpaying.

Despite our deep desire to feel a sense of belonging, many of us feel isolated. The rise of technology and modern workplace practices have led people to be even more disconnected, even as we remain constantly contactable. In this episode, Dustin talks with Christine Porath about her latest book, Mastering Community: The Surprising Ways Coming Together Moves Us from Surviving to Thriving. Christine's research shows, “as our human interactions have decreased, so too have our happiness levels. This is sparking a crisis in mental health that will have repercussions for years, leaving people lonelier and organizations less productive and profitable, too.” Leaders, organizations, and managers of all stripes may recognize how to implement the cure: community and civility. Christine and I talk about the six characteristics of companies and leaders that best build community, how to unleash your people and embrace radical candor. We share a few great book recommendations, some wonderful case studies, examples and stories from Cisco, Marriott, The Motley Fool and even the world of improv comedy at Second City.   *** This episode is brought to you by Stax Payments, offering a FREE savings analysis for our listeners, where they will actually take your merchant statement with your current processor and show you where you are overpaying.

In this episode, Dustin talks with Gabriele Oettingen about her book, Rethinking Positive Thinking: Inside the New Science of Motivation. You'll discover why many people say "think positive, be optimistic, and focus on what you want to achieve" but how the research shows something interesting about all of this. Dr. Oettingen explains the upside of dreaming and how this ties into our need to have meaning or purpose in life. We discuss the power of mental contrasting and the wise pursuit of our dreams. From the non-conscious link between wishes and obstacles and the practical application of mental contrasting, Dr. Oettingen's book is a wonderful toolkit for those who wish to understand the new science of motivation and the pursuit of our goals. *** This episode is brought to you by Retainer Club, where orthodontists can focus on treatment, not retainers.

In this episode, Dustin talks with Chris Bailey about his latest book, How to Calm Your Mind: Finding Presence and Productivity in Anxious Times. You'll discover How the analog and digital worlds affect calm and anxiety in vastly different ways. How our desire for the neurochemical dopamine eventually leads us to feel anxious and savor everyday experiences less. How the pursuit of productivity and accomplishment is more addictive than we think. How there are countless sources of hidden stress buried within our days. How conducting a “stimulation fast” can rebalance our mind to feel less anxious and calmer.  And how “busyness” is as much a state of mind as it is an actual state of life From battling work-life balance issues to developing a more expansive reservoir of energy, How to Calm Your Mind is full of tangible takeaways to overcome anxiety and live a fuller, more balanced life. Being calmer ultimately leads us to become more engaged, focused, and deliberate—while making us more productive and satisfied with our days and lives. Counterintuitive though it might sound, in an anxious world, investing in calm is not only a helpful strategy for self-care, it’s also one of the best productivity strategies around.   *** This episode is brought to you by Retainer Club, where orthodontists can focus on treatment, not retainers.

In this episode, Dustin talks with Gabriella Braun about her book, All That We Are: The Hidden Truths Behind Our Behavior at Work. We examine how work does far more than occupy our time and provide our livelihood. It provides an outlet for our intelligence and skills. It’s part of our identity, a source of belonging and exclusion, of pleasure and pain. Listeners will discover why the dynamics of different relationships in the workplace, giving rise to issues of power, status, equality, camaraderie and competition, touch every one of us and every part of us. Much as we may want to, we cannot leave aspects of ourselves outside the building or virtual space when we go to work. Gabriella explains what it means to work while being human and how we can learn more about the hidden motivations that drive our behavior at work. The book will move you and awaken a new respect for your colleagues and employees. It may force a rethink of many of the attitudes you hold about others, especially those who annoy or intimidate you at work. It can help you build a workplace that is more creative, inclusive and humane, where people and their work flourish.   *** This episode is brought to you by Freedom Founders, where orthodontists and dentists can create cash flow and secure wealth through passive real estate.

In this episode, Dustin talks with Benjamin Spall about his book, My Morning Routine: How Successful People Start Every Day Inspired. You'll discover the early morning habits that boost productivity and relax you. Benjamin and I discuss interviews with leaders like Arianna Huffington, General Stanley McChrystal, Marie Kondo and more. See why the first few choices you make each morning determine whether you’ll be productive and mindful all day, or whether the world will clobber you over the head. Benjamin Spall shares why having a routine is great, but only if it serves your goals. If your morning routine is not helping you achieve your goals, it’s called a rut. Not only will you learn how to find better routines that have worked for other successful people, but you’ll be able to find out through this insight what will work best for you and how to implement it into your life.   *** This episode is brought to you by Retainer Club, where orthodontists can focus on treatment, not retainers.

In this episode, Dustin talks with James White about his book, Anti-Racist Leadership: How to Transform Corporate Culture in a Race-Conscious World. You'll discover how building anti-racist leadership is more than just “the right thing to do” – it contributes positively to successful operations and a strong bottom line. James and I discuss why "cultural fit" is often misunderstood and misused to allow perpetuation of an elite, privileged in-group and leave out minorities who may be equally qualified. James shares why DEI is not a zero-sum game and why the very nature of how we run our companies, and of capitalism itself, is changing, offering listeners a rare look into how to meet this demand for change successfully. James White asks all of the hard questions – and at the same time, delivers answers. Listeners will appreciate practical solutions to achieving their diversity and inclusion goals in one of the best leadership books I’ve ever read.   *** This episode is brought to you by SmileStream Solutions.

In this episode, Dustin talks with Jon Gordon about his book, The Energy Bus: 10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work, and Team with Positive Energy. You'll discover how to reclaim the driver’s seat of your life and inspire others to support your journey. Jon Gordon explains why we must support our employees by listening to them, showing empathy, and commending their work.

This is similar to the Stoic principle of amor fati, which means to love your fate, no matter what it brings. Jon reminds readers you can’t control everything that happens, but you can control what you believe about what happens. If you focus on gratitude, solving problems, and learning new things, you’ll always come out on top. Finally, you’ll discover why humans sense enthusiasm from a distance and how to get people on your bus and motivate them as you travel through life. *** This episode is brought to you by SmileStream Solutions.

In this episode, Dustin talks with Roger Martin about his book, When More Is Not Better: Overcoming America's Obsession with Economic Efficiency. You'll discover how our obsession with economic efficiency has forced too much pressure in a pursuit of perfectionism. Roger and I discuss how this has resulted in a dangerously unbalanced economy that lacks resilience. Roger gives practical tips on what business executives, political leaders, educators and citizens can do to achieve the overall balance between efficiency and resilience. Roger says, "Efficiency itself is not the problem, it's the proxies we use for efficiency." Using proxies like quarterly earnings or cost reduction might show improved efficiency, but this is not the same as effectiveness. If you focus on the wrong proxies in the short term, you will do things that are damaging in the long run to achieving the best results, like providing excellent customer service or delivering long-term shareholder value.   *** This episode is brought to you by Market Hardware.
