 "The fundamental idea of gross national happiness is to say that the center of our attention should be the happiness of all people as well as all life forms."   — Tho Va Hinh   This week I speak to a returning guest, Tho Va Hinh, author of The Culture of Happiness and founder of the Eurasia Foundation and the Eurasia Learning Institute for Happiness and Wellbeing. He's designed the Happy Schools curriculum, which started its first program in Vietnam and is now being tried in Switzerland and Germany.  He is also a Buddhist teacher ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh.   Tho's early life was shaped by being the child of a Vietnamese diplomat father and a French mother. Though he did not directly witness the Vietnam War growing up, he was impacted by it through extended family. He saw both sides, he explains. While he at first thought he'd study to be a doctor, he chose a less conventional path: he became a performer and dance teacher. The type of dance he did was Eurythmy, a dance form developed by Rudolf Steiner, whose philosophies shape Waldorf schools.    Tho explains his early interest in Eurythmy and his journey as a teacher and a Buddhist have all been driven by a desire to connect inner transformational work with the outer work of social change.He pursued a PhD in psychology and education when he was over 40. He has held leadership roles in schools, including director of Camphill Seminar of Curative Education in Switzerland and director of learning and development for the International Committee of the Red Cross.  While serving in the latter role, he saw firsthand the devastating impact of wars in such places as Palestine and Darfur. He began to seek out ways to change the root of the problems, rather than addressing the consequences of violence.    Tho's interests led him to Bhutan, where the government has implemented an alternative framework to replace the Gross National Product:  Gross National Happiness. He explains how and why this framework is based on the premise that the guiding principle for a society should be on wellbeing for individuals, connection with others, and caring for the planet. The economic system is only one part of this larger framework. However, most societies use the Gross National Product - an economic index - as one of the most important markers of how a society is doing. Tho describes the process of implementing an index to measure Gross National Happiness instead and how this has led to his development of the Happy Schools curriculum.    Tho has also helped implement the principles of Gross National Happiness into business, working with companies in Vietnam, Switzerland and Germany. One first step is to gather information through employee surveys to find out what needs and concerns workers have in order to find ways that the company can help improve their employees' wellbeing. So far, the results have been encouraging, with leaders reporting higher employee engagement and a more positive work culture. \   Tho says that schools and businesses that have adopted these principles have proven more resilient through the pandemic and ultimately have come out stronger, and he's eager to see this grow in the future. His latest project hopes to do just that, through the creation of a "Happy Village" in Vietnam.   In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:      How Tho's father responded when he told him he was going to study Eurythmy instead of medicine   What Tho thinks of the current culture of information and how people need time to integrate all the information they are taking in    His experience of meeting Thich Nhat Hanh for the first time    The definition of dharma and why true Buddhist teachings are about freedom    Why he he started working on Gross National Happiness in Bhutan    What Tho thinks about artificial intelligence    How we need to shift education to respond to our current culture and create a better future    What Happy Schools teach and the results so far     The importance of gratitude in a happiness practice    How Rob took the principles and Gross National Happiness and applied them to his own business    To view the Happy Schools documentary mentioned in the podcast,  go to:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib0PC9-y-KI     Connect With Tho Va Hinh   Websites  Eurasian Learning  Institute for Happiness and Wellbeing   Happy Schools   LinkedIn  https://www.linkedin.com/in/havinhtho/   Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/eurasialearninginstitute   Twitter  https://twitter.com/HaVinhTho   Book: Culture of Happiness   https://www.parallax.org/product/a-culture-of-happiness/   The 2023 Do Nothing Retreat is open for registration (5 spots remaining)    Join us from October 8-12 for The Do Nothing Retreat,  a mindfulness meditation retreat suitable for meditators at all levels The retreat will enable you to cultivate a deeper mindfulness practice while in a peaceful and rejuvenating mountain location.

Dr. Tho Va Hinh  l  Changing the World With Happiness

Spencer Sherman

“When we're no longer grasping for the money, it often flows more easily to us."  — Spencer Sherman   This week's guest is Spencer Sherman, CEO of Abacus Wealth Partners, a certified mindfulness teacher and author of The Cure for Money Madness. He also teaches people how to have a healthier relationship with money through his online courses and is on the faculty at NYU's Inner MBA program.    In this episode Spencer and I dig into how our relationship with money is shaped by our parents, cultural messages, and the historical events we live through. Spencer grew up in Queens, where, he says, a lot of people focus on working hard, but he also grew up with the sense that there was never enough. After earning an MBA at Wharton Business School, he went to work for an investment firm. There, he focused on making moneynd and working long hours.    Only when a fire broke out in his building did Sherman start to question whether money was needed for happiness at the expense of his health. He went on a ten-day silent retreat because, he says, "I'm a sucker for a challenge." That experience taught him that he could feel joy and a sense of having enough with few possessions, by just going inward. It was the beginning of redefining net worth to include more than just numbers on the balance sheet.    Once he incorporated more mindfulness in his life, Spencer took a step back and started working on his relationship with money. He opened his own business and learned to set boundaries around his time for self-care activities like sleep and exercise. His business was one of the first to offer fee-only services, so he could help people objectively with their financial planning. In 2002, he joined with a friend to create Abacus Wealth Partners, a values-driven financial firm.   One practice Spencer teaches in his workshops is helping people become more conscious and aware of their thoughts and feelings around money. For example, he sometimes experiences anxiety about making a big purchase, even though he has the money. In those moments, Spencer explains, he reverts to being a child and feeling afraid he's going to run out of money. He has to take a moment, take a breath (he calls it the "money breath") and remind himself he's okay, that his adult self is in control. Similarly, he advises people take a few days to consider any big purchases, to make sure they are not acting out of impulse.    Money can be our greatest teacher, Spencer says. Once we stop and become aware of our relationship with money, we can learn so much more about ourselves.    In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:    How lessons about money are learned, from previous generations and from the events we live through as a child and adolescent.  How improving our relationship with money can help us cultivate patience and  resilience.  Why finding your own balance - with work and play, with risk and safety - is important. How gratitude can help us focus more on what we have and less on what we don't. Why feeling the sense of "enoughness" may be the key in shifting to a healthier relationship with money, and open up more abundance into your life.  What practice Spencer has used when he's felt envious.  How a taxi driver in India taught him about having enough. What leaders can learn from the Dalai Lama.  Why beginners are often better at investing over the long term.     Connect With Spencer Sherman   Website www.spencer-sherman.com   Instagram Mindful Spencer   LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/mindfulspencer/   The 2023 Do Nothing Retreat is open for registration (5 spots remaining)   Join us from October 8-12 for The Do Nothing Retreat,  a mindfulness meditation retreat suitable for meditators at all levels The retreat will enable you to cultivate a deeper mindfulness practice while in a peaceful and rejuvenating mountain location.

Koshin Paley Ellison

“If we want to be free, at some point we have to plant our staff in the ground and say, 'I am here.'"  — Koshin Paley Ellison This week's guest is Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, founder and guiding teacher of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care. Ellison is an author, Jungian psychotherapist and ACPE Certified Chaplain Educator. Koshin has served as the co-director for Contemplative Care Services in the Department of Integrative Medicine at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center and is currently on the faculty of the University of Arizona Medical School's Center for Integrative Medicine. His most recent book is Untangled: Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage and Compassion.  While Koshin has extensive education, he explains that it's ultimately all been in search of deeper meaning. As a young man he discovered the poetry of Marie Howe and was moved to seek her out as a teacher. He subsequently studied under her, earning an MFA. Then, after serving as a hospital chaplain, he went on to get a degree in social work in order to learn how to help others better. This led him to studying psychoanalysis. But clearly what has most deeply informed Koshin's life is his practice of Zen meditation, which he's formally studied since 1987.  "Zen," Koshin explains, simply means sitting meditation. It's one of the various practices of meditation, and all are valid routes to self-reflection and exploration. It was this practice that enabled him to sit with and be present with the dying as a hospital chaplain. He started in this work when his grandmother was dying, who observed that he and his "Zen people" were the only people who could be fully present with her, without distraction, fear, or busy-ness. He credits her as the real founder of the Zen Center for Contemplative Care. In an effort to bring these principles to the medical community, Koshin helps doctors and other clinicians bring a contemplative practice to their work and their lives, enabling them to be more present for their patients, as well as themselves.  Ultimately, what's important, Koshin says, is that we not get too attached to our identity. We take on different identities throughout our days and lives depending on the situation we're in. Letting go of attachment to one's identity is key. He also believes that suffering is rooted in the gap between what we believe to be right and good and how we act daily, and he strives to help people to close that gap in order to live more authentic, meaningful lives. In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:  How a traumatic memory from Koshin's childhood came back to him and how he responded  His first lesson as an 11-year-old karate student  His own moments of insight with being attached to his identity   Why Buddhism is still relevant today How anxiety is an addiction  How he finds gratitude and appreciation in everyday life     Connect With Koshin Paley Ellison Website https://zencare.org Instagram @koshipaleyellison   The 2023 Do Nothing Retreat is open for registration (5 spots remaining) Join us from October 8-12 for The Do Nothing Retreat,  a mindfulness meditation retreat suitable for meditators at all levels The retreat will enable you to cultivate a deeper mindfulness practice while in a peaceful and rejuvenating mountain location.

Koshin Paley Ellison | You Are Not Who You Think You Are

Don Lupo

"I just believe we were put here for a purpose." – Don Lupo   This week's guest is Don Lupo, an advocate for the homeless and others in need. Twenty-three years ago, Lupo left a career as a successful businessman to start a new career in service to his community, the city of Birmingham, AL. In 2016, he was awarded the FBI Director's Community Leadership Award and was named one of the "Top 50 Over 50" in the state of Alabama; in 2018 he was awarded the Civilian Service Award by the Birmingham Police Department.    One of the defining moments of Lupo's life was the passing of his mother when he was 16 years old. He explains how her unconditional love for him as well as her commitment to being of service to others have inspired him throughout his life. Another defining moment was reading some words on the back of an envelope that exhorted him to "love your neighbor, feed the hungry, clothe any that are naked." This message was a "slap in the face," he says, prompting him to find a way to help others. He now includes these words in his social media posts. Lupo, who directs the Mayor's Office of Citizens' Assistance, says that he doesn't see his job as work, but as a way he can be of service to others.    Lupo has certainly found ways to serve and has done a lot of work serving the homeless in the city of Birmingham. He is proud to say that almost every homeless person in the city is known by name, and if he doesn't know theirs, they know his. As a board member for Firehouse Ministries, a homeless shelter and outreach agency, he worked on raising funds for a new facility. Despite the odds, they raised $7 million in six months.

"I just believe we were put here for a purpose." – Don Lupo This week's guest is Don Lupo, an advocate for the homeless and others in need. Twenty-three years ago, Lupo left a career as a successful businessman to start a new career in service to his community, the city of Birmingham, AL. In 2016, he was awarded the FBI Director's Community Leadership Award and was named one of the "Top 50 Over 50" in the state of Alabama; in 2018 he was awarded the Civilian Service Award by the Birmingham Police Department.  One of the defining moments of Lupo's life was the passing of his mother when he was 16 years old. He explains how her unconditional love for him as well as her commitment to being of service to others have inspired him throughout his life. Another defining moment was reading some words on the back of an envelope that exhorted him to "love your neighbor, feed the hungry, clothe any that are naked." This message was a "slap in the face," he says, prompting him to find a way to help others. He now includes these words in his social media posts. Lupo, who directs the Mayor's Office of Citizens' Assistance, says that he doesn't see his job as work, but as a way he can be of service to others.  Lupo has certainly found ways to serve and has done a lot of work serving the homeless in the city of Birmingham. He is proud to say that almost every homeless person in the city is known by name, and if he doesn't know theirs, they know his. As a board member for Firehouse Ministries, a homeless shelter and outreach agency, he worked on raising funds for a new facility. Despite the odds, they raised $7 million in six months. Lupo believes in the vital importance of the work of Firehouse, saying that we are all "just one step" away from being homeless and that if he ever needed somewhere to go, he knows he could go there.  In a profile in Good Grit Magazine, Lupo was called "the man to call when you need to get something done—especially connecting those in need with available resources."  Lupo stresses that he could never have accomplished all he has without the help of others. In one example he shares that after his daughter convinced him to go on Facebook and ask for the 1500 toothbrushes the shelter needed, he was offered way more than he needed.

Don Lupo | Living to Serve

Jay Steinfeld |  Experimenting and Enjoying the Ride  "You really never know when you set out to do anything, if it's going to work. If you do know, then you're not experimenting enough."  — Jay Steinfeld    This week's guest is Jay Steinfeld, author of Lead from the Core and founder of Blinds.com, which he sold to Home Depot in 2014. Steinfeld remained the company's CEO until he left in 2020 to not retire but, as he calls it, "rewire." He teaches business and entrepreneurship at Rice University, serves on multiple boards, and is active in charitable organizations.   Jay's predominant approach to life and to business is to learn as much as possible, with the understanding that you're never going to know it all. He believes in experimentation, and in taking small steps to try something new to figure out if it's something he wants to build on. The loss of two important people in his life—his mother when he was a teenager and his wife after 25 years of marriage, both to cancer in their late 40s—also motivated him to learn and come to a better understanding of how he wanted to live his life. Two texts he cites as influential are Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankel and The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt.   Jay explains how being value-led drove him in building his company. One of these values is experimenting without fear of failure. By articulating and modeling the core values of the company, he was able to hire people who would not be afraid to speak up and experiment. He was also able to guide his business as it was sold to Home Depot, making sure that the people who had helped him build his business were recognized, appreciated, and well compensated for all they did. Honesty is another value Jay discusses in this episode, where he advises CEOs to "not be chickenshit" but to be the one who tells people what they need to know.    Another value Jay discusses is to "enjoy the ride." Having challenges and facing the unknown have been motivating for him, and he loves working with others to come up with new ideas and solutions. He believes his greatest achievement is assembling teams of people who succeeded at doing things he could never have done alone.    In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:    How the loss of Jay Steinfeld's mother and wife affected how sees the world  How he approaches social media  How he went about planning for his "rewirement" and the one person he wanted to meet  When it might make sense to give up  How to model and send the message to employees that experimentation is valued  What you need to do if an employee is not performing up to expectations  What to do before selling a business     Connect With Jay Steinfeld   Website www.jaysteinfeld.com Link to download first chapter of book: www.jaysteinfeld.com/thebook Book page on Amazon:  Lead from the Core: The Four Principles for Profit and Prosperity   LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/jaysteinfeld   Twitter www.twitter.com/jaysteinfeld   The 2022 Leading with Genuine Care Retreat is at full capacity.*  *If you would like to be placed on the waiting list, please click here and fill out the form.

Sabrina Starling

"I'm on a mission to share with the world that you can have a good quality of life and a successful business."  — Dr. Sabrina Starling    This week's guest is Dr. Sabrina Starling, The Business Psychologist, bestselling author of the How To Hire the Best series and The 4 Week Vacation and host of the Profit by Design podcast. Sabrina's company, Tap the Potential, helps entrepreneurs learn how to build successful businesses without sacrificing their quality of life, health, and relationships.    Many entrepreneurs put off taking time to be with their families, to travel, or to take care of themselves until it's too late. Dr. Starling believes entrepreneurs need to take time away from their businesses and encourages them to eventually get to a place where they can take four-week vacations, as she discusses in her book. When entrepreneurs hear of the four-week vacation, most think it's impossible. It's also frightening.   Starling acknowledges that four weeks fully away from work is not going to be something entrepreneurs do when they are in the startup phase. It's something that takes time to build up to, and should be done gradually and with forethought and planning. It means putting systems and people into place that will run your business without you. As scary as that might be, it's the key to achieving a full, happy life that isn't solely about your business. Starling points out that in her research on successful entrepreneurs, those who build their business to eventually operate without them are the ones who thrive and avoid burnout.    In order to get to that place, Starling says entrepreneurs need to "slim down" the business, and find that "sweet spot" where you are serving and adding value to the 20% of your customers who account for 80% of your business. By focusing in this way, you can set up systems, hire the right people, and ultimately be able to pay attention to other aspects of life.     Further, once these systems are put into place, you can take time off that you need to nourish and replenish yourself. Starling calls these times "soul-batticals." After you come back from these periods away, and you see that the systems and people are running your business, you can focus on growth or the next step in your journey, rather than responding to crisis after crisis. Under this framework, it's entirely possible to work reasonable work hours—40 hours, or even fewer, rather than the 70 or 80 hours a week many entrepreneurs do.    In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:    Where you need to be in order to take a four-week vacation—and how to get there  Why it's important to find work-life balance now, so you can be present in the lives of the people you love What thriving entrepreneurs do to build successful businesses while maintaining time and space for other pursuits  What types of questions to ask when faced with problems  What $10,000 per hour activities are—and why you need to focus on them     Connect With Dr. Sabrina Starling     Website TapthePotential.com   For the Better Business, Better Life Assessment:  https://www.tapthepotential.com/assessment   To download "How To Make Your Time Worth $10,000 an Hour," with chart: www.tapthepotential.com/10k   Book: The 4 Week Vacation   LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/drsabrina   Twitter www.twitter.com/drsabrina   Facebook www.facebook.com/sabrinastarlingTTP www.facebook.com/TapthePotential   The 2022 Leading with Genuine Care Retreat is at full capacity.*  *If you would like to be placed on the waiting list, please click here and fill out the form.

Dr. Sabrina Starling | Finding the Sweet Spot

Nicole Glaros

Nicole Glaros | It's About the How, Not the What “It's so much more powerful to be a 'we' than an 'I.' You get so much further when it's ours, not mine."  — Nicole Glaros   This week's guest is Nicole Glaros, partner and chief investment strategy officer at Techstars, a venture capital firm in Boulder, Colorado. Nicole joined Techstars in 2008, bringing her experience as a three-time startup founder and her work with an early business incubator. Since joining Techstars, she's helped build it exponentially from a small firm to a global powerhouse and serves on the board of a variety of companies.    Nicole is in transition, having decided to step away from her role at Techstars. She  describes her current position as being at the top of the mountain and looking around. You spend so much time just climbing up there, you don't have little time to rest or look around, she explains. Nicole is now figuring out her next steps on her journey, stopping to ask what she wants rather than reacting to whatever comes her way.   Nicole values people helping and supporting others. When she first came to Colorado, there was little going on for entrepreneurs and startups. It was through the active engagement and openness to giving advice and collaborating that it has become a flourishing, vital scene for startups. Unfortunately, COVID did some damage to this culture, and Nicole acknowledges that the next generation needs to step up and start doing the work previous generations did of helping others. Nicole explains that this kind of thinking stems back to the question of, "If not us, then who?"    Similarly, Nicole believes that peer groups can play an important role for entrepreneurs in supporting and encouraging growth. She doesn't believe people learn by reading or passively taking in information. Instead, we learn by doing, and CEOs need to model the types of behaviors and habits they want the people who work for them to follow.    As a board member and startup advisor, Nicole also understands the challenge of making hard decisions and concludes that it's more about the how than the what. She explains in an example how one company was told they had to cut expenses by laying off half the workforce. Instead, the CEO explored other solutions, and with the support of employees, found alternative ways to cut expenses.    In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:    Nicole's thoughts about "conscious" entrepreneurship, and what term she likes better The one thing she did that made a huge impact on her productivity while at Techstars How and why peer groups can help entrepreneurs  How your thoughts and beliefs can impact your life  How to shift your mindset through awareness  The question CEOs could ask that might mean a huge shift in work culture What she gets out of participating in challenging sports like mountain climbing and boxing     Connect With Nicole Glaros     Websites Nearly Nicole Techstars   LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/nglaros/   Twitter @nglaros   The 2022 Leading with Genuine Care Retreat is at full capacity.*  *If you would like to be placed on the waiting list, please click here and fill out the form.

It was through the active engagement and openness to giving advice and collaborating that it has become a flourishing, vital scene for startups. Unfortunately, COVID did some damage to this culture, and Nicole acknowledges that the next generation needs to step up and start doing the work previous generations did of helping others. Nicole explains that this kind of thinking stems back to the question of, "If not us, then who?"  Similarly, Nicole believes that peer groups can play an important role for entrepreneurs in supporting and encouraging growth. She doesn't believe people learn by reading or passively taking in information. Instead, we learn by doing, and CEOs need to model the types of behaviors and habits they want the people who work for them to follow.  As a board member and startup advisor, Nicole also understands the challenge of making hard decisions and concludes that it's more about the how than the what. She explains in an example how one company was told they had to cut expenses by laying off half the workforce. Instead, the CEO explored other solutions, and with the support of employees, found alternative ways to cut expenses.  In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn: <ul> <li>Nicole's thoughts about "conscious" entrepreneurship, and what term she likes better</li> <li>The one thing she did that made a huge impact on her productivity while at Techstars</li> <li>How and why peer groups can help entrepreneurs </li> <li>How your thoughts and beliefs can impact your life </li> <li>How to shift your mindset through awareness </li> <li>The question CEOs could ask that might mean a huge shift in work culture</li> <li>What she gets out of participating in challenging sports like mountain climbing and boxing </li> </ul> Connect With Nicole Glaros   Websites <a href="https://nearlynicole.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nearly Nicole</a> <a href="http://www.techstars.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Techstars</a> LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nglaros/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/nglaros/</a> Twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/nglaros" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@nglaros</a> The 2022 Leading with Genuine Care Retreat is at full capacity.*  *If you would like to be placed on the waiting list, please click <a href="https://www.donothingbook.com/2022-waitlist/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> and fill out the form.

Nicole Glaros | It's About the How, Not the What

Ryan Tansom

“If you don't know where you're going, how are you making the decisions to get there?"  — Ryan Tansom   Ryan Tansom is founder of Arkona, a company that helps businesses grow with intention through trainings and fractional CFO services. I am thrilled to have Ryan join me on the podcast, since he and his cofounder, Pat Hobby, have been a big help to me in my own business, imageOne, and have helped me learn how to make decisions with more intention. The Intentional Growth™ Framework, along with other tools like EOS, Small Giants, The Great Game of Business and 2 Second Lean, have made a huge impact on me and my business.    Ryan was previously the executive vice president of his family's business, and by applying intentional growth strategies, helped grow it to a place where it was bought up by a competitor in an 8-figure sale. Ryan also hosts the Intentional Growth™ podcast.    Ryan sees putting intention at the forefront of everything we do as critical to growth both personally and professionally, and especially in business. Without a clear goal of where you want to end up, you're unable to confidently and clearly make decisions. Having a clear intention helps give you purpose in your daily life and to make decisions in alignment with those goals. Intention helps to answer your "why."    Ryan sees major turning points - what he calls inflection points - such as selling a business or going through a divorce, as opportunities for growth and learning. His experience working in his family's business came with a lot of anxiety and uncertainty, in large part because of their financial situation. Looking back, he realizes that they lacked intention and an understanding of what a Chief Financial Officer could offer in this process. With Arkona, Ryan strives to help business leaders become more intentional and to come to a better understanding of their financial situation and goals. He explains what a CFO should do, and how smaller companies can benefit from working with a fractional CFO to help leaders get clear on and become aligned with their intentions.    In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:    The five principles Arkona teaches in helping businesses become more intentional  What a CFO should do in a company and which companies should consider using a fractional CFO  How understanding just the three financial statements in a business is key to better managing finances and making them less complicated How Arkona helped Rob and his partner become more intentional in their business  Why mastering an understanding of money is so critical  What the two "true things" are  Why a routine is so important and how it gives Ryan freedom  How Ryan explains the Biblical quote "the meek shall inherit the Earth"     Connect with Ryan Tansom   Website www.arkona.io   Twitter @RyanTansom   LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-tansom-4a440710/   Learn More from Ryan Tansom and Arkona  Intentional Growth™ Framework Intentional Growth™ Podcast     Sign up for the 2022 Leading with Genuine Care Retreat!

Ryan Tansom | The Importance of Intention

“We've got to get to a place where the conversations are deeper at a heart level.” — Melvin Gravely   This week's guest is Melvin Gravely, entrepreneur and author of Dear White Friend. Melvin is CEO of TriVersity, a black-owned construction company in Cincinnati that was founded and continues to run under the principle that diversity brings power. He has also written several other books, on entrepreneurship and race.    Melvin credits his successes with "disruptions" that steered him on a different path than many of his peers growing up. He was intentionally placed in a different middle school. He was given opportunities through programs for minorities that helped him go to college and get a job at IBM. He excelled in sales at IBM, the first company he worked at, and moved on to work in various other entrepreneurial projects as well as earning a PhD in business administration. While Melvin believes in hard work and doing due diligence, these types of programs often help offset the severe inequities that so black people in America continue to face.    Melvin wrote Dear White Friend in response to the current discussions people in this country, including his white friends, are having about race in America. A prolific writer, Melvin says that he turns to writing for relaxation and to help him understand and make sense of the world. Melvin's main premise is that the root cause of racial inequities in the U.S. is slavery. He explains why and how African Americans are at the bottom and white people are at the top, with everyone else is in between. He points out that almost half of the black population lives in poverty, a consequence of their ancestors being slaves.    Melvin says the first step for everyone is to acknowledge the reality of the racial construct in our nation. The next step after acknowledgement is deciding to act with intention. If we all work in our own spheres of influence, then reach out to other spheres, Melvin explains, we can start to build a better, more equitable world.   In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:    Steps white people can take to start to build momentum to make change How asking the question "why is it this way" can be a powerful tool for insight and empathy  How a professor used the game of Monopoly to illustrate racial inequities How intentional acts can help disrupt the path many people are given  What Melvin thinks about the statue debate  What he thinks about reparations and why he changed his mind about them  How and why his company makes diversity one of their core values    Connect With Melvin Gravely    Website www.dearwhitefriend.com Note: You can also download a free discussion guide at www.dearwhitefriend.com/discussiongroups.

Melvin Gravely | The Power of Intentional Action

George Mumford

George Mumford | In the Eye of the Hurricane  “When you get rid of noise and clutter, nothing's there. But because nothing's there, there could be anything there.” — George Mumford   This week I chatted with George Mumford, renowned teacher and coach on mindfulness and performance. George has worked with such athletes as Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal and many other elite athletes and executives. Mumford is the author of The Mindful Athlete: Secrets to Pure Performance.   In our talk George explains why his company is called "Eye of the Hurricane." He strives to teach people about that still center in themselves, just as in the middle of a hurricane there is a quiet, still point. Mindfulness, George explains, can be the tool that gets us there. However, mindfulness must be guided by wisdom, love, faith and trust. Mindfulness can help guide us to create that pause we need between stimulus and response. Just being able to stop and become aware is immensely valuable. If you struggle with anger, a good first step is becoming aware of what triggers you. Then, he says, try to get intimate with it. Observe what happens to you, and try to learn from it. Whatever you do, George teaches, be fully engaged with the present moment.    George reads a book a week, and often re-reads books in order to learn from them at a deeper level. For the same reason George offers programs where students are encouraged to become lifelong learners, returning again and again to the material from different perspectives and in different contexts. In our talk, he referenced Kierkegaard, Socrates, and Erich Fromm, among others. George integrates all he learns to teach others how to not just survive, but thrive, and encourages us all to be authentically who we are.    In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:    How going slower will get you where you want to go quicker  How knowing your core values will help you with your practice What the "superpowers" are and why you need them  How to deal with anxiety in today's world  What Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan learned from George Mumford Why his teachings are not just for athletes    Why trying too hard can be counter-productive What flow is and how to harness it What it means to have an empty mind     Connect with George Mumford   Website www.georgemumford.com   Facebook www.facebook.com/mindfulathlete   Twitter @gtmumford   LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/george-mumford   Instagram  @george.mumford   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfAqkXr3IpLgiNw88 qjLKtA   Learn More from George Mumford www.georgemumford.com/the-mindful-athlete-course   Sign up for the 2022 Leading with Genuine Care Retreat!

Julieanna Hever- This Nutrition Expert Says a Plant-Based Diet Could Save Your Life

Gino Wickman

As the founder of EOS Worldwide, Gino Wickman is nothing less than an entrepreneurial icon. This week on the donothing podcast, I’m elated to chat with Gino as we dive into everything entrepreneurship, including Gino's newest mission—helping aspiring entrepreneurs discover what it really takes to succeed.   An entrepreneur since the age of 21, Gino has had an obsession for learning what makes organizations and entrepreneurs thrive. At 25, he took over the struggling family business. After turning the company around and running it for seven years, he and his partners successfully sold the company.   Then, he set his sights on helping other small businesses—including my own, imageOne—discover strategies to grow and succeed. The result was the Entrepreneurial Operating System, or EOS, a practical method for helping companies achieve greatness.   Today, EOS Worldwide helps thousands of businesses implement their system with an international team of over 250 professional and certified EOS Implementers and online support. There are more than 60,000 companies using EOS tools worldwide.   Gino has personally delivered more than 1,800 full-day sessions for more than 130 companies. He is also the author of the award-winning, best-selling book Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business, as well as Get a Grip, Rocket Fuel, How to Be a Great Boss and What the Heck is EOS?.    Gino now devotes his time and energy toward helping entrepreneurs-in-the-making get a huge jump-start on taking their entrepreneurial leap and becoming entrepreneurs.   In this episode of the donothing podcast, you’ll learn:  Why Gino decided to skip college How foregoing college altered Gino’s future What Gino had to accomplish before his father let him join the family business How Gino turned his family’s struggling company around Why mentorship was an integral part of Gino’s business success How Gino became a millionaire by age 31—then lost it all by age 32 Why Gino always takes notes on a yellow legal pad Which authors significantly influenced Gino’s life How Gino developed EOS and why he knew it'd work Which six components make up the EOS model What other strategies and tools are integral to EOS  Why EOS’ holistic approach makes all the difference What made Gino decide to sell his ownership of EOS Whether Gino thinks everyone should be an entrepreneur What the significance of Confirm, Glimpse and Path is Why Gino feels devoted to up-and-coming entrepreneurs What Gino hopes to achieve with his upcoming book, Leap How Leap can help new entrepreneurs avoid common business mistakes What traits all entrepreneurs should possess to be successful Why passion should always be what drives aspiring entrepreneurs   Learn More About Gino’s Upcoming Book, Leap: Do You Have What It Takes to Become an Entrepreneur?

Spring Washam - Can Plant Medicine Offer Leaders the Strength and Wisdom They’ve Been Seeking?

Scott Kriens

Before Scott Kriens led the multi-billion-dollar Silicon Valley tech company, Juniper Networks, he was ambitious—yet relatively directionless—and searching for the right path forward. Over 35 years later, Scott’s now a renowned leader who excels at building teams and connecting people through learning, growing, and finding purpose.   In this episode of the donothing podcast, Scott and I chat about how he found business success, his inspiration for later creating the 1440 Foundation and 1440 Multiversity, why it’s critical to create a life beyond possessing more and suffering less, what surprising things parenting and leadership have in common, and so much more.    Currently, Scott is the chairman and former CEO of Juniper Networks. He founded Juniper back in 1996 and has since grown the company to over $4 billion in global sales and currently employs more than 10,000 employees around the world.   Scott and his wife Joanie launched 1440 Foundation, a nonprofit organization “committed to the cultivation of truly real and connected relationships, with yourself and others.” In 2017, the Foundation’s success led Scott and Joanie to launch 1440 Multiversity, a modern learning destination set in the redwoods of Santa Cruz County.  In this episode of the donothing podcast, you’ll learn about:    What led to Juniper’s eventual success How Scott began teaching leadership development Scott’s top leadership values and mantras Why it’s always better to do something in business than do nothing How business success is like a sailboat Why it’s ok to not be 100% aligned with your colleagues Why showing that you care is essential to great leadership Which core values Scott holds most dear What the 1440 Multiversity is How and why every inch of 1440 was built with intention What Scott hopes visitors experience at 1440 How building 1440 gave him true faith in the universe Which classes are taught at 1440 Foundation How 1440 fosters a space “where energy, discovery and creativity flourish.” Why it’s important to pass along good fortune How Scott starts his mornings What leadership and parenting have in common Why modeling your habits is so important How the first 50 employees will define a company’s culture Scott’s own diverse spiritual journey Why his father’s death pushed him to start exploring meditation His unpredictable rise as a salesman The advantages of learning through hardship Why modern parents need to be more mindful What parents can offer their kids to prepare them for difficult times Why teaching children doesn’t work Why it’s better to be an imperfect parent—not a plastic one      Connect With 1440 Website: https://1440.org LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/1440-multiversity Facebook: www.facebook.com/1440multiversity Twitter:  twitter.com/1440mv?lang=en Instagram:  www.instagram.com/1440multiversity/?hl=en   Scotts’s Recommended Resources The Primal Wound: A Transpersonal View of Trauma, Addiction, and Growth, by John Firman and Ann Gila https://amzn.to/2MS7dlm Follow Rob Dube on Social Media LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/robdube Facebook: www.facebook.com/rob.dube.1 Twitter: twitter.com/robddube Instagram: www.instagram.com/robddube YouTube: bit.ly/2FYdckW   Register Now for the Most Rewarding Leadership Challenge of your Life!

Scott Kriens — This CEO of a Billion-Dollar Tech Company Built a Retreat Where Leaders Can Unplug, Grow & Look Within

I’m thrilled to have Gino Wickman, the author of the best-selling book Traction and creator of the EOS system, back on the podcast—this time as my next guest on the donothing Wisdom Series. Gino recently released his newest book, Entrepreneurial Leap, which explores what it really takes to become a successful entrepreneur. Truthfully, Gino believes it’s not the right career for everyone. Even if it “breaks some hearts” in the process, he’d rather readers discover their own destinies sooner than later—even if it’s not as an entrepreneur. In the first part of a three-part series, Gino and I discuss how anyone can “Confirm” if entrepreneurship is the right path forward. And if it is, what can aspiring business owners do to turn their dreams into a reality? Now, let’s take a leap of entrepreneurial self-discovery with Gino Wickman.

Jack Stack

Bo Burlingham

Jack Stack is Founder, President and CEO of SRC Holdings Corporation. Jack has been called the “smartest strategist in America” by Inc. Magazine and one of the “top 10 minds in small business” by Fortune Magazine. A pioneer of the leadership model known as open-book management, Stack is the author of two books on the subject, The Great Game of Business and A Stake in the Outcome. His expertise in using the open-book model has helped SRC Holdings Corporation start, acquire, and own over 60 businesses and created thousands of jobs since 1983. Along the way, SRC’s stock value has increased 360,000%. Jack has served as a world judge for the Ernst &amp; Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Institute and as an advisor for this group since 1998. Jack designed the first ever United Way Entrepreneurial Fund to encourage innovation within the non-profit community. He has also served as a contributor for Inc. Magazine and The New York Times and has addressed thousands of audiences on the topic of open-book management. Jack is the father of five children and grandfather of six. Bo Burlingham is an editor-at-large of Inc. magazine and the author of five books, the most recent being Finish Big: How Great Entrepreneurs Exit Their Companies on Top (Portfolio/Penguin, 2014). A previous book, Small Giants: Companies That Choose To Be Great Instead of Big (Portfolio/Penguin, 2006), was one of five finalists for the 2006 Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year award. Burlingham joined Inc. in January 1983 as a senior editor and became executive editor six months later. Bo has written two books with Jack Stack, the co-founder and CEO of SRC Holdings Corp. (formerly, Springfield Remanufacturing Corp.) and the pioneer of open-book management. One of the books, The Great Game of Business (Doubleday/Currency, 1992), introduced the concept of open-book management, has sold more than 300,000 copies, and was named one of “the 100 best business books of all time.” The other, A Stake in the Outcome (Doubleday/Currency, 2002), recounted how SRC built its culture of ownership while developing the business model that has allowed it to grow from $16 million to $600 million in revenue as of this writing. What you’ll learn about in this episode:  The origins of the first Inc. Magazine article, “The Turnaround” and how Jack reacted when the article came out. How Jack and Bo met and how different their memories of their first meeting are. Why employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) are growing in popularity. What Bo does while Jack is fishing. How SRC dealt with losing General Motors, their largest client. How the idea of writing the book, “Great Game of Business” evolved. Why Bo quit his job as the editor at Inc. Magazine. Reactions to the Inc. Magazine article, “Being the Boss.” Who called out the name “Great Game of Business?” It was once called something different. The location where Jack and Bo conducted most of their interviews while writing “Great Game of Business.” The reality of life as the concept of “Great Game of Business” got out of control with everyone wanting in on it – some people were famous! Warren Buffet’s shocking statement to Jack while on stage at a ceremony. The frustration Jack felt during the early stages of writing his book and why he felt that way. How a SRC janitor took Jack under his wing. Why the CEO of a $3.5 billion business is using Great Game of Business in his business. How Jack feels about the economy now and in the near future. Why Netflix used Great Game of Business. The first Great Game of Business Conference and how it came about. How Jack and Bo think they are impacting the world. What’s wrong with Midwestern values? Jack’s experiences meeting President George W. Bush while he was President.

I’m so excited to welcome back Executive Advisor, author of books including <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Contagious-Culture-Intentionally-Organization-Thrives/dp/1259584577" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Contagious Culture</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Contagious-You-Unlock-Influence-Create/dp/126045410X" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Contagious You</a>, and creator of the IEP Method, Anese Cavanaugh, for Part Two of her Wisdom Series.  In this episode of the donothing Wisdom Series, Anese explains how leaders can develop deep, positive, and more productive relationships amongst everyone you work with on a daily basis—including the ones you don’t particularly care for.  From ingenious lessons on making difficult business decisions to creating healthy workplace boundaries and so much more, Anese teaches us the unending merits of positive, servant leadership and the advantages of always striving to be of service to your team, and to yourself.
