About this episode
What if the very differences that create conflict are the same differences that create strength? In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul talks with innovation expert and author Stephen Shapiro about his new book You’re Not Playing With a Full Deck and his powerful metaphor of “Personality Poker.” Stephen explains why we’re not supposed to all be the same—and why our unique strengths, perspectives, and tendencies are essential to meaningful relationships and high-performing teams. If you’ve ever struggled with differences at home or at work, this episode will help you see them not as problems to eliminate, but as assets to play wisely.
