About this episode
In today's unique and informative episode, Rob Nelson and Eric Thompson delve into the strategies for living a drama free life. As the newly appointed head of Ninja Coaching, Eric brings his extensive 30-year experience in real estate and two decades as a Ninja to the forefront, sharing practical wisdom from his book, No Drama Zone. The discussion highlights how his calm and strategic approach has positively impacted his team, especially during the challenging period of 2020. Throughout the episode, Eric identifies the three root causes of drama—dramatic people, low trust, and lack of clarity—and provides insights on how to address these to reduce chaos in life. The episode also explores the significance of adopting a proactive mindset, known as the player mentality, and the importance of setting clear boundaries and learning to say "no." By focusing on what you can control, Eric emphasizes, you can create a more peaceful and productive environment. Listeners, today, are even treated to a special segment where Eric reads directly from his book, offering actionable advice on maintaining balance and focus in both personal and professional settings.

Drama moves in where inspiration, focus, and clarity once lived." "There's an inverse relationship between trust and drama." "Players simply focus on the things that they can control, and they get fully in control of those things." "Without certainty and clarity, there is drama." "It's time to get over it. No more keeping score in your personal relationships." "Judging puts you on a path to be old and grumpy. Curiosity puts you on a path to be wise and cheerful."
