In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about what it means to have transparent honesty in relationships and business.

IN THIS PODCAST YOU'LL FIND:

- Jack Welch hires based on integrity, which defines as ‘honesty’.

- Is transparency the same as honesty?

- Honesty is telling the truth, transparency is how much information you choose to disclose.

- Being honest depends upon a person knowing which question to ask, transparency is volunteered information.

- Is being fully transparent in all areas desirable? Is it an ethic?

- People like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden have altered how we see transparency and information.

- Some information shouldn’t be shared with all people, since not everyone is responsible with information.

- The gauge for what should be shared is whether or not sharing it increases the quality of life for the highest amount of people. It’s a cost/benefit analysis.

- Transparency isn’t necessary a good thing. It can be neutral, or even bad.

- It’s most helpful to see it as a tool.

- Transparency is also about timing. Devolving too much information too soon can be ineffectual.

- Sometimes people have a right to know information, meaning transparency shouldn’t be a question in those circumstances.

- It takes balls to be transparent.

- Being modest about how much transparency you’re comfortable with is important. It’s a muscle that can be built, and something that can be scaled up.

- Sometimes when we’re being ‘transparent’ we’re performing for others, and so we’re not being truly authentic and therefore not transparent.

- The more transparent we are, the less judgmental we are of others, since we’re forced to see our own inner lies.

- You can be transparent, radically honest and still kind.

- The more honest we are, the more we can identify our ‘You Are Here’ dot, or our accurate starting point.

- Putting your ‘best foot forward’ doesn’t mean you’re offending ethics. Transparency isn’t always the ethically superior choice.

- A part of transparency means owning your actions, acknowledging them from the past and owning behaviors in the now.

- Not everyone is going to be okay with radical honesty. It can feel icky at first.

- Transparency is one of the best ways to increase intimacy.

EXERCISES WE RECOMMEND IN THIS PODCAST:

- For the next week, when someone asks you “how are you doing today?” be honest about how you’re doing.

- Practice being transparent about your emotions in your most intimate relationships.
