    23/10/2025 Duración: 05min

    Embracing Failure as Part of Success Are you avoiding failure? In this thought-provoking episode of the Building Better Humans Project podcast, host Glenn, challenges our conventional understanding of failure. Rather than seeing failure as the opposite of success, Glenn reframes it as an essential component of the journey toward achievement. Every person you admire has likely failed more times than most people have even attempted something new. The difference? They didn't let failure define them—they transformed it into feedback, fuel, and stepping stones toward their goals. This episode dives into how failure is simply data—information telling you that something about your approach needs adjustment. Just as we don't criticize babies for falling when learning to walk, we shouldn't expect perfection from ourselves on first attempts. Through personal stories from business setbacks to challenges on the Kokoda Track, Glenn illustrates how his own failures became the foundation for his current success.

  • Listener Content - Emotional Intelligence in Everyday Life

    14/10/2025 Duración: 06min

    Mastering Emotional Intelligence: The Key to Success Beyond IQ Are you letting your emotions run you, or are you running them? In this compelling episode of the Building Better Humans podcast, host Glenn Azar dives deep into emotional intelligence - the hidden factor that often determines success more than IQ, education, or raw talent. Contrary to popular belief, emotional intelligence isn't about being "soft" or overly emotional; it's about self-awareness, self-control, and performing under pressure. When mastered, it transforms decision-making, strengthens relationships, and keeps you calm while others lose their composure. The episode breaks down emotional intelligence into four critical components: self-awareness (understanding your feelings), self-management (regulating emotions), social awareness (recognizing others' feelings), and relationship management (using awareness to build trust and resolve conflicts). Drawing from his military background, Glenn shares how he learned that true leadership isn't a

More importantly, Glenn shares practical strategies for rewiring your habits to support the life you want, drawing from his military experience and client success stories.

In this listener-requested episode of The Building Better Humans Project podcast, Glenn Azar dives deep into the foundational principle of self-accountability. It's not flashy or trendy, but it's the difference-maker in achieving lasting change. Glenn explains why most people don't fail due to lack of capability, but rather because they refuse to take responsibility for their circumstances and results. Through stories drawn from his 17 years in the Army and expeditions across Kokoda, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Mount Everest, Glenn illustrates how the most resilient individuals are those who stop blaming external factors and instead ask, "What's my role in fixing this?" This mindset shift is transformative in every area of life. Key Timestamps:- 0:00 - Introduction to listener-suggested content- 1:15 - Why self-accountability matters
