Join Coach Dan Gordon as he sits down with Bob Donnell, founder of Everything Next Level and a longtime student of human behavior. Bob shares how devastating loss, great mentors, and decades of studying people shaped his belief that the price you pay in life can become an investment in who you become. They explore better questions, deeper connections, resilience, strategic action, and what it takes to align your behavior with the results you actually want.

Five Badass Q&As
Q1: What first sparked your interest in human behavior?
A1: As a teenager, Bob was told that if he learned human behavior, he could apply that understanding to any product, service, or industry. That idea shaped the direction of his life and work.
Q2: Why are better questions so important?
A2: Bob believes the quality of your connection depends on the quality of the questions you ask. Better questions reveal how people think, what they value, and whether they are truly aligned with you.
Q3: How did Bob keep moving forward after devastating personal loss?
A3: Bob developed a simple three-step process: acknowledge what you feel, put a time limit on staying in that state, and then turn your attention toward doing something positive for someone else.
Q4: Why do people struggle to align their behavior with the results they want?
A4: Bob says people often are not specific enough about what they actually want. When the desired result is unclear, it becomes difficult to choose the behaviors that will create it.
Q5: What is the mission behind Everything Next Level?
A5: Bob wants to impart vision and inspire strategic action by helping people align their behavior with the results they want to create.
