062 One Thing and Your Week Will Be Totally Different

Episode 062: One Thought That Could Change Your Entire Week The Influence Every Day Show with Dr. Ed Tori What if your week could be transformed by one simple mental shift?

In this episode, Dr. Ed Tori poses a deceptively powerful question:

“How different would your week be if you pretended everyone you met was sent to teach you something?”

From annoying coworkers to passive-aggressive emails… from toddler tantrums to micromanagers… from Lyft drivers to your own children - this episode unpacks how adopting a “curious student” frame in everyday interactions can unlock surprising insight, emotional mastery, and even life-changing wisdom.

This isn’t just mindset work. It’s moment-by-moment training in influence, communication, and presence.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• How friction can become feedback (and feedback can become fuel)

• Why a 5-star Uber driver changed how Ed approaches every conversation

• What criticism at the dinner table might really be offering you

• The leadership lesson hiding inside micromanagement

• A profound insight Ed’s mom got from a 5-year-old version of him

• A practice you can start today that will change how people respond to you forever

Challenge:

For the next 7 days, pretend every person you meet - friend, stranger, critic, or child - is there to teach you something. Ask yourself:

“What’s the lesson here?”
