Week in Review at Sinclair Range – October 24, 2025
This week, Scott takes a different approach — fewer files, more reflection. Amid chaos, tough negotiations, and constant bad news, he shares how The Power of Positive Thinking and the Winning Momentum methodology apply to both global events and business turnarounds.
In this episode:
• Why President Trump’s first-phase peace deal between Hamas and Israel is a master class in negotiation and turnarounds.
• How Scott Adams describes Trump’s “reality distortion” as persuasion — and what leaders can learn from it.
• Eric Trump’s surprising comment: “It was an excellent example of the power of positive thinking.”
• The connection between Norman Vincent Peale’s 1952 classic The Power of Positive Thinking and the Trump family’s mindset — and why Scott is revisiting the book today.
• Lessons from Peale that align with Sinclair Range’s Winning Momentum framework: recognizing “mental garbage,” replacing fear with focus, and manufacturing momentum through compounding wins.
• Behind the scenes at Sinclair Range: weeks of chaos, collapsing deals, fraud discoveries, and constant bad news — and why Scott stopped reading negative updates.
• The practical leadership takeaway: o Compress your “negative time” into a small daily window. o Focus the rest of your day on progress and value creation. o Find one thing to win at each day — because small wins compound into momentum.
• How positivity, reframing, and focus bring order out of chaos — in business, leadership, and life.
Quote of the Week: “You don’t have to be relentlessly positive — but you must not be negative. Negativity creates fear. Fear creates paralysis. Paralysis creates more negativity.”
