  • Epi 22 - Manners in Today's World - Do We Still Need Them?!
    Nov 14 2024

    Today we're tackling a subject that's essential yet often overlooked: manners. In this episode, I'll discuss why manners are not just old-fashioned courtesies but crucial tools that facilitate smoother interactions and enhance mutual respect in society.

    Join me, Michael Coleman, as I explore how manners, from simple gestures like saying "thank you" to more complex social etiquettes like table manners, serve as the lubricant that keeps the gears of society running smoothly. We'll delve into historical anecdotes, like the tradition of shaking hands and how these gestures have evolved over time to adapt to modern contexts.

    This episode also brings personal stories and practical examples to illustrate how understanding and implementing good manners can open doors in both personal and professional settings. I'll share tales from my own life, like how a friend's thoughtful consideration about not waking my baby demonstrated the profound impact of being considerate.

    Manners can often make or break interactions in the business world and in our global interactions. We'll discuss how different cultures perceive manners and the potential embarrassments or misunderstandings that can arise from not knowing these subtleties. For example, a simple act like how to properly receive a dish at a Japanese restaurant can reflect deeply on one's cultural sensitivity and respect.

    Oct 2 2024

    In today's episode, I share my incredible experience at VeeCon 2024, hosted by the visionary Gary Vaynerchuk. Held in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, VeeCon is not just a conference—it's a gathering of minds from the intersecting worlds of technology, marketing, new media, and pop culture.

    It's an amazing event with people from all corners of the globe coming together, sharing a common goal of driving progress within their industries. I was particularly inspired by the session on the future of commerce and digital interactions, which opened my eyes to new possibilities in how we engage with technology and each other.

  • Ep 20 - Golden Rule Economics, Part 3
    Sep 17 2024

    This episode brings to light how our personal, corporate, and governmental decisions, influenced by the Golden Rule, can fundamentally alter our society for the better. Join me as we discuss the profound impact of considering long-term consequences over immediate gains.

    We'll examine the ethical dilemmas faced by unions, venture capitalists, and the average consumer in the context of global labor practices and the unseen consequences of our daily choices. This discussion is not just theoretical; it's about actionable insights.

    We address how 'otherism' and ignoring the broader impacts of our decisions can lead to a society where short-term gains lead to long-term crises. From the exploitation of foreign labor to the ethical questions surrounding corporate practices like quarterly earnings reports, we scrutinize how each choice shapes our world.

    Moreover, we tackle the necessity of rethinking how companies and governments operate, advocating for a shift from profit-driven decisions to those that consider multi-generational impacts. This episode is a call to action to embrace accountability and transparency, urging a move towards policies and practices that truly reflect the Golden Rule.

  • Ep 19 - Golden Rule Economics, Part 2
    Sep 9 2024

    In this episode, we continue our discussion into Golden Rule Economics, a concept that seeks to integrate the timeless ethical principle of treating others as we wish to be treated into our economic systems. Building on the foundations laid in our previous discussions, we explore how this principle can transform not just individual lives but entire socioeconomic structures.

    As we close the loop on this transformative idea we address how the Golden Rule intersects with established economic systems like capitalism, socialism, and others, questioning how a shift towards more ethical practices could redefine success in our societies.

    We delve into practical scenarios where applying the Golden Rule could lead to more sustainable and compassionate business practices, reducing harm and increasing benefits across all facets of life.

    We also tackle tough questions about the implications of such a shift. What does it mean for a company operating in foreign territories, or for industries known for their environmental impacts?

    How can leaders in government and corporate spheres implement practices that truly reflect this ethical stance, and what are the long-term effects of doing so? This episode is not just theoretical—it's a call to action for each of us to consider the ripple effects of our choices and to foster a better community that values ethics.

  • Ep 18 - What Is Golden Rule Economics? Part 1
    Aug 27 2024

    In today’s episode, I am going to cover an inspiring concept that could reshape our economic landscape: Golden Rule Economics. This principle, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," isn't just a moral guideline but a viable foundation for creating a just and sustainable economic system.

    Join me, Michael Coleman, as I explore the rich history of the Golden Rule across various cultures and religions, illustrating its universal appeal and enduring relevance. From the teachings of ancient philosophers like Zarathustra, Confucius, and Matthew of the Bible, we see a common thread—an ethical reciprocity that has guided civilizations towards compassion and fairness.

    But what does it mean to apply this age-old wisdom to modern economics? Today, we discuss how Golden Rule Economics can influence commerce, societal structures, and personal interactions in profound ways. We'll look at practical examples of how this philosophy might alter our approach to business, governance, and community relations, fostering environments where honest exchange and mutual respect are the norms.

    Moreover, we'll tackle the challenges of implementing such a system in today's complex economic landscape. How do we balance personal and overall prosperity? Can a shift towards ethical economics truly enhance our collective well-being without sacrificing competitive advantage?

    So, tune in as we contemplate a future where the Golden Rule isn't just a moral platitude but the foundation of our economic practices.

    Aug 5 2024

    Michael Coleman here, and in today’s episode of Coleman Nation, we're tackling a topic that’s both timely and crucial: How to pick a president. Given the recent shocking events in our political landscape, including an assassination attempt and unexpected changes in the presidential race, it's more important than ever to understand what really matters when choosing our leaders.

    This episode was recorded before these recent events, so while it may not address them directly, the principles we discuss are incredibly relevant. We dive into the qualities and criteria that matter most in a president, from their communication skills and track record to their values and family life. I share insights on how these factors should influence our choices and why they're essential for effective leadership.

    I'll also reflect on personal experiences and observations from past election cycles, offering a non-political perspective on what to consider when interviewing the most important job candidate in the country: the president. This isn't about pushing an agenda but about empowering you with the right questions and perspectives to make informed decisions.
