Tames is an accomplished C-Level Executive with expertise and proven successes in financial markets, sustainability performance, financial crime prevention, stakeholder management, and business data science.  Currently, Tames is the Business Development at Ocean Cleanup, a company whose mission is to rid the oceans of plastic.

He was first involved with environmental impact when he developed and launched an exchange in carbon emission rights, and carbon credits under the Kyoto protocol. Under this project, they were cleaning up dirty air, also known as the abusive consequences of economic development. The project was intended to have countries share the burden of the cost of global warming. However, the market on the Kyoto protocol was flooded with financial crime which took away the basis of trust in the carbon credit itself. It was during a raid by the national security agencies at the Euro exchanges in carbon credits who were investigating the number of criminal transactions that were facilitated by those exchanges. Tames was responsible for financial crime prevention and regulatory compliance and risk management of the Exchange, which proved to be the one where they could not find any criminal transaction. 

There are about 30,000 to 35,000 rivers in the world. But only about 1000  rivers are responsible for 80% to 85% of the plastic that reaches the ocean. Most of these rivers are located in Southeast Asia & Central and South America. This already reduces the problem to very specific geographic areas.

Oceans cleanup believes that by taking one step at a time,  we could get rid of all the legacy plastic that’s in the ocean. The journey started by involving a very scientific and technology-driven approach by first identifying the problem and running a few pilot projects to see what technology and what approach would serve the solution best. 

The ocean is filled with legacy plastics because of a lack of filtered systems from when the plastic is consumed to when it ends up in the ocean.  

Tames and his team are now deploying river technology solutions that catch plastic or catch trash before it reaches the ocean. So to not only take out the legacy plastic but also make sure that the tap is closed and it doesn't continue to grow.

When it comes to leading a team working on trying to find solutions in search of a complex project, a lot of team dynamics come into play.  As a leader, the organization itself is spending a lot of time and effort to facilitate that psychological safety. People are encouraged to speak up. We have a lot of group meetings. We share a lot of the knowledge internally and everyone's invited to chip in their, 2 cents. 

In summary, the way to effect this change is to change the mindset of people and the society as a whole.

Jinny’s recent book titled IN/Action: Rethinking the path to results, where she helps you leverage the power of a thoughtful pause to discover newer paths to great results while exploring the downside of the prevalent cultural bias toward unnecessary and counter-productive action. The book captures insights into the benefits of reflective thinking and thoughtful pauses while presenting a less stressful and more efficient way of achieving more by “doing” less. 

Jinny got inspired to write this book after she found herself without a conventional job in 2020, she had always worked in a highly structured environment where action-oriented people were valued, and not being in this kind of space really distressed her. At that low point of her life, Jinny self-analyzed and realized her career had a couple of pivots. Every time she was about to start a new career, she had come from a moment of downtime. This period of non-action made her realize that what really drives great progress is inaction.

Jinny gives a few pointers on how to help inaction give you results:

• Strategic inaction implies a choice. If you're thinking long-term, it's being here for the long game. It's not about doing this today for the sake of doing it. It’s doing this because you want to live to see another day.
•  If you're working in a very complex and dynamic environment, very often the thing to do is wait for better information to come along or wait for things to sort themselves out. So you are not interfering with the flow of what's happening. People who are very action-oriented, are almost overacting at this point.  You don't need to because you're wasting your own mental bandwidth, physical time, and doing things that are not needed.
•  In the book, she stresses it's all about taking thoughtful pauses, long enough for creative ideas to come through. Letting intuition make room for creation to come through you, as opposed to you chasing the idea. 
• As a leader, you can’t mandate your people to change but if you live this way yourself as a leader and people see the consequences, the change in your behavior they will do what you are doing.
• When it comes to team collaboration, the pause experienced enhances communication. The power of verbal silence in conversations, negotiations, in team meetings. There's a science to prove that something as simple as a thoughtful pause of a few seconds in a meeting just leads to better outcomes for a team meeting.

In conclusion, the first steps you can start doing are building restorative habits and giving yourself intermittent breaks throughout the day. Very few people truly control their schedules. You can't take a day off or days off at once, but instead, develop a habit of taking 10-minute breaks once a day, or a couple of times a week and do nothing, allowing your mind to declutter.

She is an Author, Speaker, Life Coach, CEO & Founder Nosh Detox. She also sits on the board of a Montessori group and is the Chair of Women's Development Board, a Microloan Foundation a women's empowerment and poverty alleviation charity supporting women in Southern Africa. 

Geeta’s story starts when she was very successful but suddenly she lost everything and had to start her life from scratch. This included having to live with her friend as she looked for a new job. That was where Geeta started noshdetox.com which is an organic food and juice program delivery business back in 2008.

As a business leader and a charity chair, Geeta believes in living & leading from her purpose. Standing up for what you believe in and having the courage to change the course of the river.  

As the chair of Microloan Foundation, Geeta says that the benefits of empowering one woman has a ripple effect in that she uses the resources to grow her family, and benefit the community at large. 

She says that the moment we start to see the world as a community, then we are able to contribute to not just cases in the developing world but right where you are in your neighborhood. 

Geeta encourages corporates to have more compassion and not just take resources but remember that the priority is on the people who live in those communities where the resources are found. 

Her work in Montessori teaches children to grow at their own pace so that they don't feel wrong about not growing at someone else's pace. This eventually creates strong and stable adults. She is now scaling this model of teaching children to areas that have refugee children. In that way, breaking the vicious cycle of children who are faced with trauma and that's all they grow up knowing.

In conclusion, Geeta says Change is inevitable and suffering is totally optional. So you must constantly work on yourself because you are the biggest impediment to your own growth.

In today’s episode, we chat with Anita Gardyne, the CEO of Onēva, an in-home care platform allowing enterprises and government agencies to connect employees and their families with trusted caregivers and service providers.

Onēva technology app connects FBI background check caregivers who provide in-home services like infant/child care, elder care, special needs care, pet care with individuals or companies offering their employees benefits such as these. 

Anita grew up in the 80s when she went to UC Berkley to study economics & economics in Black communities.  One of the eye-opening lessons for her was seeing the disparity in neighborhoods & communities based on their color. A good example of this was despite growing up in Richmond California, which was next to Silicon Valley, her community never seemed to grow from it. She later got an MBA in economics & economics in the black community. While she studied, she also worked in technology for AT&T and later on moved up in her career to join companies such as Levi Straus, Bell & Seagate. 

All along Anita had at the back of her mind how growing up, she was her family's caregiver. She had to take care of her niece and nephews who were autistic. Fast forward to years later, Anita had to stay home to raise her children while taking care of her parents, When it was time to go back to work, she tried to find a caregiver to fill her needs of taking care of her parents and her children but, she couldn't find a caregiver she trusted to look after her family. 

Anita identified a gap in the homecare system and built Onēva to fill it. Onēva, brings a blend of technology (AI), emotional intelligence (EI), and Spiritual Intelligence (SI). Onēva means Trust.

One of the benefits of using Onēva is that it's an employee benefits app. Through strong mentorship and partnership with Microsoft and Acrisure, Anita and her team have been able to build into the app a section where employers can add Onēva into their HR systems so that employees can benefit from having access to trusted care and in turn helps employers attract and retain employees.

In addition to this, Onēva is bridging the gap between unskilled/skilled workers getting access to well-paying jobs in that the caregivers on the platform are able to set their own rates and hours, therefore creating new small business owners, and leveling the playing field.   

In conclusion, Anita wants entrepreneurs to know that every founder has their own journey and every journey has lessons in the form of challenges.

Troy's story: "I was an NCAA tennis player that always had a passion for health and marketing. I turned vegan for health reasons in 2019. I was playing golf with another vegan friend one day and he asked if my golf glove was vegan. I didn't even think about the fact that sports products could be vegan. After going down the rabbit hole, just about every sport uses animal products mainly including leather for Balls. But even Tennis uses sheep skin in their tennis balls. Not to mention most of these products you can't recycle or aren't biodegradable. I sought to change that. So In November 2021, Eco Sports is releasing Eco Friendly sporting goods. We will continue to add more products each quarter so we can be the go-to sporting goods store to a) help save the planet; b) have a non-animal product option; and c) exceed the quality and durability of sporting goods currently out there.

Eco Sports is a sustainable sporting goods company. With Global Warming, Animal Welfare, and a Less Toxic work environment in mind, Eco Sports was created. Eco Sports uses a Biodegradable, Recyclable, Vegan material for all its Sporting Goods with can’t be found in mainstream Sporting Good Stores. This material is as durable and high quality as any pig or cow skin. Our initial products are focusing on enhancing leather intensive products like Basketballs, Footballs, Soccer Balls, Volleyballs, and Baseball Gloves. Eco Sports is also committed to making the packaging sustainable and to never use plastic or aluminum. Eco Sports promises to give back by donating 10% of the profits immediately to plant trees across the nation on the consumers behalf. We have a goal of improving and evolving all sporting goods with a non animal product, improving our earth we all love and share, and giving back and partnering with many organizations doing the RIGHT THING.

About the Book

"Redefining Success is all about achieving greater happiness, fulfillment, and alignment in life around the things that matter to you! The book is the combination of a plethora of amazing interviews, extensive scientific research, and a bit of my own personal experience. My work has shown that we each need to define what "success" means for ourselves because if we don’t live aligned with our own definition of success, happiness and fulfillment will remain elusive no matter how much we accomplish in life."

Michael Biarnes

Having worked in oncology, neuroscience, and diagnostics, author Michael Biarnes has dedicated his career to improving patient outcomes in the healthcare sector. Along the way, he discovered his passion for mentorship and coaching, striving to help individuals define success for themselves and take tangible steps towards achieving a happier, more balanced, and fulfilling life. His book, Redefining Success, seeks to further that passion.

Ana is a clinical psychiatrist and a licensed family therapist and now an author, while John is the author of the Go-Giver series. John and Ana have been together for 25 years, 10 of those were when they working together and 15 of them have been in Marriage. Their new book the Go-Giver marriage has been in the works since 2005 and has followed the same structure as the Go-Giver series. The book combines parables and practical steps to achieve your goal. 

At the same time the book has now evolved into a training program for not just married couples but individuals too, with coaches accessible to individuals or teams where the 5 secrets are discussed in depth

In this book, Ana and John give their readers 5 secrets of how to have lasting love in their marriage and relationships with other people. 

This book is both a business book as well as a personal growth book because many entrepreneurs want to know how to balance their work and have a healthy, happy marriage and family life. It focuses on the daily steps that you can apply to change the negative habits, and shift your mindset and behaviors so as to change the dynamic of your marriage. With a focus on letting go of past baggage, communicating apologies, and having a spirit of generosity towards your spouse.

A Philosophy that comes out in the book is the way to change your marriage, isn't by working on the marriage per se, but it's by working on yourself.

In conclusion, marriage isn't a zero-sum game where we think that if I give you this, then I won't have it. By using the spirit of generosity, it means if for example by giving your partner time in your busy schedule it means you care for them, therefore making your relationship richer.   It can be viewed as a rising tide that floats both boats. 

Ana Gabriel Mann, M.A., holds a Master’s degree in clinical psychology and dance-movement therapy from Antioch New England, where she specialized in working with adults and family therapy. She went on to train and work with renowned Israeli-born therapist Dr. Ruth Holt, a marriage and family specialist who taught couples to identify their patterns of dysfunction and cultivate “love maps” based on Dr. John Gottman’s landmark research. Together they led a highly successful series of therapy groups that gave couples a window into the dynamics of the other marriages in the room.

Following her work with Holt, Ana served as clinical director for a New England–based program providing county-wide therapy, education, and services for family members caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease; and as adjunct faculty and student trainer for Antioch New England, utilizing movement therapy to draw on long-term memory in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease to facilitate emotional connection and wholeness. In 1984 she cofounded the New England Institute for Integrative Acupressure, New England’s first college of Chinese medicine, where she co-led programs through 1997.

For the past two decades, Ana has worked primarily as a corporate consultant, speaker, trainer, and business coach in both profit and nonprofit sectors. In addition to coaching and teaching the 5 Secrets to Lasting Love, she is the creator and lead facilitator of the Go-Giver Marriage Coaches training program.

It focuses on the daily steps that you can apply to change the negative habits, and shift your mindset and behaviors so as to change the dynamic of your marriage. With a focus on letting go of past baggage, communicating apologies, and having a spirit of generosity towards your spouse.

A Philosophy that comes out in the book is the way to change your marriage, isn't by working on the marriage per se, but it's by working on yourself.

In conclusion, marriage isn't a zero-sum game where we think that if I give you this, then I won't have it. By using the spirit of generosity, it means if for example by giving your partner time in your busy schedule it means you care for them, therefore making your relationship richer.   It can be viewed as a rising tide that floats both boats. 

Ana Gabriel Mann, M.A., holds a Master’s degree in clinical psychology and dance-movement therapy from Antioch New England, where she specialized in working with adults and family therapy. She went on to train and work with renowned Israeli-born therapist Dr. Ruth Holt, a marriage and family specialist who taught couples to identify their patterns of dysfunction and cultivate “love maps” based on Dr. John Gottman’s landmark research. Together they led a highly successful series of therapy groups that gave couples a window into the dynamics of the other marriages in the room.

Following her work with Holt, Ana served as clinical director for a New England–based program providing county-wide therapy, education, and services for family members caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease; and as adjunct faculty and student trainer for Antioch New England, utilizing movement therapy to draw on long-term memory in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease to facilitate emotional connection and wholeness. In 1984 she cofounded the New England Institute for Integrative Acupressure, New England’s first college of Chinese medicine, where she co-led programs through 1997.

For the past two decades, Ana has worked primarily as a corporate consultant, speaker, trainer, and business coach in both profit and nonprofit sectors. In addition to coaching and teaching the 5 Secrets to Lasting Love, she is the creator and lead facilitator of the Go-Giver Marriage Coaches training program.

She is married to John David Mann, her coauthor for “The Go-Giver Marriage.”

His books are published in 38 languages and have sold more than 3 million copies. His first novel, “Steel Fear” (coauthored with Brandon Webb) was released in July 2021; iconic author Lee Child called it “sensationally good—an instant classic, maybe an instant legend,” and Publisher’s Weekly hailed it as “one of the best books of 2021.” You can read John’s thoughts on entering the world of crime fiction at https://crimereads.com/whats-a-nice-guy-like-me-doing-in-a-homicidal-place-like-this/

In today’s episode, we talk about emotional intelligence. World Economic Forum defines it as one of the top 10 must-have skills that will enable us as individuals & businesses to embrace change and raise our consciousness. 

Our guest today is Phil Johnson, He is the founder & CEO of Master of Business Leadership (MBL) Program, an executive coach, a teacher & mentor, a lecturer & keynote Speaker, a Podcast Co-Host, and a revenue growth career advancement coach.  

Phil was born with dyslexia, therefore he had difficulty trying to spell, read, and occasionally hear. It caused him to re-arrange words and numbers in his mind. As a result, he had to rely more on his intuition, which helped him to get greater insight into himself and other people. After the death of his mother at age of 14,  he decided he wanted to change his life.  He became this super overachiever and ended up spending 20 years in the semiconductor industry, finishing as an executive. After 20 years in the industry, Phil realized that there was a huge need to change humanity's trajectory to change the way we did things and the way we do things. That motivated him to create the Master of Business leadership Program. 

What is Emotional Intelligence and what does it look like? Its benefits are that it reduces the drama and chaos both within the individual and around the individual, You become less resistive, less judgemental, less attached to outcomes, and that enables you to see an individual and see ourselves for who we really are, thereby making leaders more trusted and inspirational. 

What is the ROI on applying higher consciousness and market valuation to organizations and businesses? We're at the very start of the development of a multitrillion-dollar industry because of the tsunami of change we're facing in the development of our emotional intelligence. Isn't a solution to the challenges we face. It's the only solution to the challenges we face.

Both our educational system and employment have failed humanity in that they focused on the development,-Not the development, but the enhancement of our intellectual ability. These structures did very little to develop our emotional intelligence and really our IQ and EQ are meant to work together. 

Not everybody's born with a high IQ but anybody can develop their emotional intelligence since It's an experiential process. People aren't born with emotional intelligence it's developed.

You've developed this kind of five-part teaching and coaching program for executives that, that begins or applies that consciousness first to the root cause and analysis that says, where are we? Why does that kind of start with authenticity and understanding and truth-telling from the executive's point of view?

If you’re wondering where to begin on your own path of Emotional Intelligence, you can start with developing an emotional connection to a vision of some desired result you want to achieve. 

That emotional connection becomes the fuel for the journey. You must have a desire to achieve some outcome that's greater than your fear of leaving your comfort zone. Because the development of emotional intelligence is an experiential process, rather than an intellectual process. You can only really connect the dots in hindsight after you've taken the leap of faith. It always requires an initial leap of faith based on a vision of the desired result that's motivating you to take action.

In conclusion, When it comes to people willing to work on their emotional intelligence, age,  geography, industry, race, or culture are not factors. Emotional intelligence depends on where an individual is]]>We are back for another great interview in our Entelechy Series, with Phil Johnson https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipjpjohnson/

 Ron is co-founder and managing partner at Navalent, having 35 years of experience working with CEOs and executives pursuing transformational change for their organizations, leaders, and industries, he has helped some of the world’s most influential executives tackle challenges of strategy, organization, and leadership. From start-ups to Fortune 10’s. He is also a  bestselling author of 9 books. Recently, the award-winning book, "To Be Honest: Lead with the Power of Truth, Justice and Purpose" was selected by Bloomberg Businessweek as one of 2021's Best Books. 

Ron and his team did a 15-year longitudinal study of more than 3,200 leaders. These included thought leaders,  scholars, and world-class leaders. He wanted to give people hope that there are organizations and leaders out there living the things they want, modeling and behaving in the ways we long to experience. They aimed to understand what conditions make people lie, cheat and serve their own interests first.  He thought, if he could predict/isolate the conditions that make people dishonest, then he could proliferate the conditions that produce honest behavior, and prevent the conditions that produce dishonest behavior?

Based on that, Ron shared four conditions within organizations that tell us how the story's going to go. 

These 4 conditions include:

• Companies need to have a clear identity. 

Companies all make promises in their missions, visions, values, brand promises, their purpose statements turn out that if those words are not real lived experiences within the organization, meaning they are three times more likely to have people be dishonest.

• Transparency & governance

At a meeting, there is transparency in the exchange of ideas. People believe that their voices and ideas are welcomed and they matter.  If they want to offer a dissenting view or an alternative interpretation of data, they are free to do so. This means the company is three and a half times more likely to have people be honest and tell the truth.

• Accountability

 If the systems of how you measure and talk about contribution are seen as fair and dignified. Everyone has as much chance of being successful as anybody else. This means, if the systems are seen as fair dignified, people are four times more likely to have people be honest. 

• Cross-functional rivalries

Across companies, every system/department has healthy tensions in it, but if those tensions have nowhere to go and conflict remains unresolved and people have nowhere to reconcile those seams, the company becomes fragmented.  On the other hand, if there is coherence in that organization, if the seams are stitched well,  then people are able to collaborate in a  way to resolve decisions or conflicts. That means they are six-time likely to have people behave, honestly, because they are now part of the same story. 

In conclusion, Ron suggests this action:

Taking your company's promise, or mission statement, or value statement, and asking your team hard questions such as “ How well do we embody this promise? How well do I embody this promise? If somebody followed us around with a video camera all day long and a day in the life of our team, could they use that video as a training program for this promise? Ask yourself, the hard question of who is your they? Who's the person in another department that you're required to collaborate with, that when you see them in the caller ID, you roll your eyes and go, oh, what do they...]]>In today's episode, we chat with Ron Carucci.

Book: To be honest lead with power of truth justice and purpose

Ron’s newest book and passion, To Be Honest: Lead with the Power of Truth, Justice and Purpose, is based on 15 years of research with more than 3200 interviews with leaders around the world. To Be Honest explains how four factors (Clear Identity, Accountability, Governance and Cross-Functional Relationships) affect honesty, justice and purpose within a company. When these factors are absent or ineffective, the organizational conditions compel employees to choose dishonesty and self-interest. But when done well, the organization is 16 times more likely to have people tell the truth, behave fairly, and serve a greater good. Ron’s passion shines through as he recounts the stories of the exemplars he studied and interviewed, and you can sample some of that in this introductory video and this webinar video as well.

 To Be Honest shares the stories of leaders who have acted with purpose, honesty and justice even when it was difficult to do so. In-depth interviews with CEOs and senior executives from exemplar companies such as Patagonia, Cabot Creamery, Microsoft and others reveal what it takes to build purpose-driven companies of honesty and justice. Interviews with thought leaders like Jonathan Haidt, Amy Edmondson, Dan Ariely, Michael Sandel, Arthur Brooks, and James Detert offer rich insights on how leaders can become more honest, just, and purposeful. You’ll learn how Hubert Joly took Best Buy from a company on the brink of bankruptcy to one that is profitable, thriving and purposeful, and you’ll learn how Satya Nadella is instilling a rich sense of purpose and accountability at Microsoft.

Ron Carucci is co-founder and managing partner at Navalent, working with CEOs and executives pursuing transformational change for their organizations, leaders, and industries.  He has a thirty year track record helping some of the world’s most influential executives tackle challenges of strategy, organization and leadership.  From start-ups to Fortune 10’s, turn-arounds to new markets and strategies, overhauling leadership and culture to re-designing for growth, he has worked in more than 25 countries on 4 continents.  In addition to being a regular contributor to HBR and Forbes, and has been featured in Fortune, CEO Magazine, BusinessInsider, MSNBC, Inc, Business Week, Smart Business, and thought leaders. 

Matt is the founder and strategic advisor of a nonprofit called Stupid Cancer, and he's a maverick, a cancer survivor himself, and a cancer advocate. He has a media company also called Offscrip Media.

In his early twenties, Matt was a  musician, concert pianist, going to film school to write for Hollywood. His dream was to be the next James Horn, John Williams. However, in the prime of his youth, he was diagnosed with Brain Cancer.  He lost the ability to play because the initial symptoms were his left hand up stopped working. When he was diagnosed. He had all sorts of issues that aren't relatable today but had acute side effects, he was put on a comorbidities liquid diet, he lost his hair, lost his fertility, lost 110 pounds, lost his friends, his career because he couldn't play piano anymore and completely lost his identity. 

However, since the age of 12, he had always been a nerd, hacking into UNIX and just interested in computers generally. So that became his plan B.

He ended up working in consumer advertising, where he learned about branding, brand planning, brand strategy. A couple of years after having survived brain cancer, he met an old college mate Craig Lustig who had also been diagnosed with cancer and survived and was now working on the board of directors of the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, an influential legacy policy group.

Matt credits Craig for changing his life's trajectory because soon after meeting, Matt started Stupid cancer. A cancer advocacy organization  United everyone under one umbrella. , in his bedroom, 

Fast forward 10 years into a successful Stupid Cancer, fate came knocking at his door. His mentor Selma shamal was offered the opportunity to host an online talk radio show on cancer, she gave the opportunity to Matt. The stupid cancer show became  his flagship media juggernaut, After 13 years and four and a half million people listening to it, 

As a result of the show,  Time magazine, recognized them a top 50 website for 2007, which was seen by 40 million people.  

Over the 25years of running an NGO, Matt believes that We have to have a nonprofit for trust , Leaders don't have to follow the same old playbook. They can write their own playbook and rebel a little bit. NGOs can follow Dan Pallota's business model of success covered in his books. 

 In summary, Stupid Cancer’s largest impact is the thousands of people who say, a certain doctor may have cured them, but stupid cancer helped them get their life back together.

WHY JOHN WROTE THE OPTIMIZER

"I wrote this book because I’ve found so many talented people in my life that never fulfilled their gifts because they see change and innovation as enormous with a high probability of failure. There is a better way. If you can build trust with your team and a safe road map for their growth, I believe everyone can be a contributor to driving incremental change in your organization. Not every idea will be an immediate game-changer. However, you can develop a process to consistently draw out your teams' creativity, manage the emotional hurdles of change, and generate customer value while delivering results."

Joel is the Co-Founding Partner at Renewal Funds- a $240 million mission venture capital firm that  invests in Organics and EnviroTech in Canada and the USA, and is an authority in the current social movement towards revolutionizing capitalism into something different and powerful, towards a clean money revolution., and as a result, he has co-authored of the book: the clean money revolution: Reinventing power, purpose, and capitalism 

A lot of Joel's influences stem from having an artistic mother, an entrepreneurial father, and a family involved in politics that engaged him as he was growing up in the sixties to talk about issues affecting the politics at that time including issues such as the civil rights act, the police riots, the student riots of 1968, the war in Vietnam, Kent State shootings, among others, influenced him to know that what he chose to do with his life in regards to capitalism and interaction with the society around him, would matter how his contribution made a difference.

We spoke to Joel about the impact of having a $250 million venture fund can make in this journey of revolutionizing capitalism and how he has been able to bring the creativity, ingenuity found in entrepreneurship into modern society.

• Renewal Fund works with entrepreneurs who are aligned with the kinds of values that we shared here. These are people who can see the deeper picture of where resources come from, how labor is found, and treated, how waste products are created and disposed of.
• The good news is that the consumer/ the investor, those of us who invest our retirement funds, who do business with banks in order to get a home mortgage, are starting to think and ask more questions, make new demands on going all the way back to the sources, how people are treated, how the planet is treated, how our waste is treated, and caring about future generations. 
• The way we can bring this change is by more of us making choices at an everyday consumer level. Decisions such as  Where we work, what kind of companies we associate ourselves with, those that pay attention to the political systems that we really understand and are much more connected
• Joel says the world is at an inflection point. There is urgency, there is ingenuity there's capacity. We have more skills to do things better with less harm. That is going steadily to increase as a moral and ethical responsibility of most of us as humans and in the systems that we create in order to make life better.
• There's a massive effort underway to clean up our act. Companies are now occupied by people who care about the underlying topics that we're talking about. Not simply making money at the unknown, but large costs to all kinds of other parts of the natural world. And to other humans, this conversation will keep happening.

In summary, Joel wants us, consumers, to ‘read the label at the level of buying something off the supermarket shelf, read the label of your politicians, your elected officials, those who set the regulations and the rules effectively what that means is to find out the history and the sourcing and the practices, You can to make conscious choices between the worst actors and the better actors.

Welcome Dean Sonderegger to the Entelechy Leadership Stories podcast.

Dean is Senior Vice President at Wolters Kluwer (public company) – an information services company that provides legal, software, and business solutions.

They have 19,200 employees, and in 2020, the company brought in over €4.6 billion in annual revenue and has thousands of clients – including 93% of the Fortune 500 companies.

Dean says, "After spending 7 wonderful years at Wolters Kluwer in the legal markets, I've transitioned back to the tax world and am happy to share that I’m starting a new position as SVP & General Manager Canada and R&L at Wolters Kluwer!"

Dean is also a highly-desired speaker in business leadership with a focus on the rapid development of advanced digital products and services to enhance efficiencies and workflow in any organization.

Some things Dean speaks about on the podcast:

• How smaller businesses and organizations can compete with giants like Wolters Kluwer.
• Innovative business practices for staying ahead of the competition.
• Scaling the company, coming up with a clear strategy and the future of business.
• Business transformation, building up remote teams, and the future of work.

Dean's passion is cemented by the fact that he is an engineer. Engineers have a problem-solving mentality. For him, his purpose is to be able to solve the problem elegantly and then to bring, be able to bring a group of people along with him to do it.

Some 20 years ago, the company focused on legal professionals and provided books and loose periodicals around the law.  A lot of our patterns and what the company does has changed in addition how they measure value in our lives has also changed. 

With technology, the market is now more focused on how do you get the job done effectively, and especially for businesses and leaders, businesses have to help their organization shift to meet that new definition of value for both customers and staff. 

The solution is to put the customer at the focus of things, an overlay of that, along with the strong set of respect for the folks that are working the business gives you to a point from a team standpoint, where there is the ability to achieve substantial and significant things. In the absence of that, you don't get that loyalty, you don't get that drive inside the company. It's unbalanced.

How does a company like Wolters Kluwer, adapt to the digital technology-driven markets today. And how do they stay relevant being a  historically larger company? For Wolters Kluwer, a few methods they have used to remedy this is having people that are out actively in the marketplace to understand what's going on by talking to customers, talking to partners, looking at some  innovative startups, and therefore getting people visibility into the market, starting to reset the conversation with input directly from the market

When it comes to providing value to teams, as a leader you're focusing on the development of employees. That should be a two-way conversation. They should be talking to you about what they want, and then you should be able to give them some feedback on the same.

While for purpose-driven companies, what should new leaders focus on? Leaders to make sure that they are...]]>In today’s episode, we talk about how companies and individuals are trying to be more competitive not only  in a changing business climate but also a changing social climate,

While for purpose-driven companies, what should new leaders focus on? Leaders to make sure that they are providing an environment where people see purpose in the work that they do, they see opportunities for advancement, while making work more meaningful. 

In summary, What does Dean see on the horizon when we talk about transformation?  The concept of diversity and the importance of diversity in business; Ethical supply chain sourcing-do we know who it is that's working in our factories that are providing these in the different countries, are the people treated in a humane fashion, or are the suppliers wreaking havoc on the environment?

Oliver has spent more than a decade recruiting senior executives, building management teams, and cultivating lasting relationships. As a former HR executive in the Life Sciences industry, Oliver has been intimately involved in corporate strategy and growth—not to mention fixing an array of business problems that crop up.

Among the things we talk about:

Which kinds of executives make the best leaders in responding to the wave of change in the workplace?

What are the unique strategy challenges for life science companies?

Why do some C-Suites and Boards "get it" about DEI more than others?

What do transparency and authenticity actually mean and look like when practiced?

Oliver says, "In the world now companies are trying to figure that out loyalty and how people stay in touch and stay valued, and it's not about money and compensation and benefit. It's about how you feel about the company."

He describes, "For HR leaders, understanding that remote is okay, but you can go anywhere now and be remote, but valuing the work you do, and the products you create, and the environment that you create are very important now, and companies are trying to figure that out."

Oliver shares, "While many  C-Suite in the life science industry people have had to learn to communicate in a different way, it's not because their industry is dying or people can't come to work, or everybody has COVID it's because we still have a mission. So that the industry, pharmaceutical has a mission to create life-changing or life-saving products for the public or for the patient."

Oliver says that communication leaders have focused on sharing the message, sharing the mission, staying on target while also protecting your health and protecting your family, and trying to balance everything. So the actual communication statements have been different.

In Oliver's HR practice, "About 40% of our practices are with private equity, hedge funds, and those kinds of investor people. It turns out that whether it's a byproduct or whether it's just why we do this for a living, but there is still really, really interesting cutting edge kind of work being done, whether it's in cell therapy or certain kinds of rare diseases or biologics that investors at various levels are funding. Their mission hasn't changed but they're very focused on their return. So they do what they need to do to keep people engaged. And, there is a great deal of money still flowing into life sciences, whether it's diagnostics because of COVID and other kinds of vaccine issues."

In summary, Oliver thinks that it's a generational thing as more women and minorities move up. Some of that will become a little easier, but I think that it's a hard slog for the next 10 years in lots of different industries.

Julie tells us about how leaders need body, mind, and soul. So when we think of Camp Rhino and gyms we think about taking care of the body. However, she has found a way to go beyond just this. Julie tells us about how she used to abuse her body with excessive exercise, eating whatever she wanted, and not prioritizing her health. 

She needed to be an example for the gym so she needed to lose weight but didn’t like to work out or eat healthily. She realized that by going into the fitness world she would have something to hold her accountable. And that’s how she started. But focusing on weight loss only proved to be detrimental to her mental and physical health. Now Julie meditates and feels like she’s come full cycle and can really embody the things she never thought she would: mind, body, and spirit. 

Meditating vs. Working out

To some people, sitting cross-legged on the floor feels like an even harder task than going to the gym. Being calmed and quiet can be very hard. But why? Julie tells us that this is likely because we don’t want to sit alone without thoughts. We’re afraid of what might come up, what past trauma may come to the surface. But she was able to find and like a type of meditation that wasn’t quite like the others she had done before. She prefers to simply sit in her window and look out while she thinks about whatever comes to her mind and doesn’t put a time limit to it. Then she does free writing and after that, she reads her book. That’s her form of meditation and that’s what has worked for her mental health. 

How mind, body, and spirit connection helps with physical goals

Julie is a very caring person, she would care so much for people that she would be very aggressive about wanting to help them fix whatever they wanted to fix about themselves. Now, thanks to her connection with mind, body, and spirit she can be more present. She enjoys the processes, she sits and listens, and then she looks into the person’s eyes and focuses on the moment itself and not on the actions that person needs to perform to achieve their goals. Presence was such an underrated and unknown thing for Julie and now it has become one of the core values for her company. 

From something you love to a business

When asked about when did Camp Rhino began to actually a full-on organization, Julie spoke about Scott who is an amazing gym owner in Florida. She had seen him do it and felt inspired. She knew she had worked on this for a long time and that after years of personal journey, she wanted to lose weight so he started a fitness company to help herself. Then she realized that weight loss is not the end of all issues.  There are things in our minds that need to work through as well. 

And then she started the Rhino Life Challenge as she was trying to lead people in the group through these positive transformations that had to do with the mind and spirit. It is all-important. So then she decided not to go through the motions of everything but rather create a program that aligned with her beliefs. 

She also understands that some people may gain the weight back because they don’t know how to keep it off or maybe they had a trauma response. There are things mentally and spiritually that also need to be worked through so that they can change their hardest non-healthy habits.

Adam is the Co-Founder of Clever profits, an accounting firm that offers accounting, tax, and growth strategies to online entrepreneurs as fractional CFOs. He also is a leadership trainer, a coach, and a sportsman.

Today’s conversation will focus on how conscious leadership impacts our businesses and lives, and elevating leaders where everybody matters 

This concept of elevating leaders came from the book Everybody Matters written by Bob Chapman & Raj Sisodia, which focuses on the extraordinary power of caring for people in your business like family what can that can do for your business.  

Adam & his team attended a training facilitated by Mike Budden who runs the Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute which focused on leadership development, personal development. This experience inspired him to create a year-long mastermind for his top 10 clients around leadership. 

Adam’s background stems from coaching rugby in South Africa, from there, he got a chance to spend 6 weeks with the All Blacks rugby team in New Zealand where he got to experience how the most successful rugby team is people-centered,  coupled with a heavy family & culture orientation. He saw how this environment of care creates quality human beings. 

• A couple of insights from Adam includes: no business will truly survive without people, and that you've got to consciously learn how to be a good leader, how to care for people, lead people and give direction yet also be show empathy.
• Adam also talks about why and how leaders need and can create balance in their businesses.  Being able to balance conscious capitalism, conscious leadership, around caring for people and building a good culture and environment, will result in you making your profits.
• Additionally, you cannot work on your teams until you've worked on yourself, or are working on yourself. If you get alignment, you can then work on your teams, which you can then work on your business, and then you can move forward.
• A true leader must create trust, and trust is developed from consistency. consistent with just being there, being present in all you do and in all your interactions, goes a long way to building trust.
• Remaining  consistent in everything you do is a  pretty big building block to people, who want to trust someone 
• Expectations are a real thing and, miscommunicated expectations are  probably one of the biggest eroders of communication and trust and team-building

Summary.

You don't have to be at the forefront to be a leader. Being authentic to who you are and where best you can create impact is as profound as leading at the front.

Leadership is multifaceted in every way. It's about people. So the moment you put the people first, put their needs first that's where you win.

Bill wears a myriad of hats including:  corporate executive involved in the capital markets, investments, and real estate; a practicing therapist; and an author. All this experience can be summarized as 33 years of financial experience, 24 years of marriage, 15 years of counseling. And he says 8,500 hours of sitting quietly and listening to other people.  

Bill talks to us about conscious leadership in business, vulnerability, humility in business, secrets of a great leader, and being able to hold space for someone so as to create harmony in your life.  

• Bill shares some of the lessons he has learned in conscious leadership in business. For a leader to be successful in all their relationships including business relationships, one needs to learn how to control themselves. 
•  How people feel,  determines how they behave therefore how they react. Successfully controlling this aspect, the result is leaders and individuals who can drive productivity and growth in their teams if they feel engaged and whole. 
•  Leadership is about understanding where you are in that moment. If you don't understand where you are at that moment, you will not know where you are going, you will ot know where your partner is, where your Billion-dollar client is, where your $10 client is, etc. Knowing oneself is the only way to self engaging the universe.
• When you as a leader know yourself, you also know your value systems, you know, your structures, you create your north star leading to you and your teams’ success. 
• Bill talks about "Vitamin V" - vulnerability, and how to be vulnerable in business, your relationships, your family, and those you meet along your path.
• Humility in the business world is a powerful tool because when you're humble and honest, the other person's going to start sharing more stuff. 
• The concept of standing in the fire when you are in the heat of battle, and pressures and emotions run high whether it’s at work or in your relationships.

Bill teaches that all our relationships with others, especially our marriage, started in 4th grade, when our limbic-emotional body learned, absorbed, and inherited our parents’ lives and experiences. We are all therefore married to our own old, unconscious emotions more so than to our spouse.

His research shows that relationships fail for one single reason: a lack of understanding of one’s own emotions and reaction patterns created in childhood. His work with archetypes demonstrates also that relationships are not a single experience or dyad between two people but are eight unique relationships all occurring at the same time.

Three key concepts he uses to accelerate clients' work are Stand in the Fire, 2nd Law of Thermodynamics at Home, and Relatus. These three concepts provide direct access to understanding self.

He celebrates in and humorously expounds on the belief that working on self, which will automatically improve the dynamics of all our relationships, is the most important thing in life, and that what we do right now in our relationship echoes through posterity, changing who our grandchildren’s children become.

 Bill graduated from Middlebury College, VT with a BA in English, and earned a Master of Science degree from Columbia University School of Social Work, NY in ’03.

Having gone through trauma as she grew up, and looking for all ways to survive, Susan was always aware of the financial aspects of her own life and the environment she grew up in. She lived in fear of being poor.

While in the banking industry, she attended a creative leadership workshop by Dr. Farr of Farr Associates. This experience created a mind shift in what she wanted for the rest of her career. She combined her business degree and psychology degree and her conscious leadership business was born. 

A couple of highlights from our discussion of REAL Leadership include:

• Resilient - A leader who is self-Aware, has self-regulation well being combined with cognitive and emotional intelligence 
• Engage - What kind of leader will you be? Whether you're going to be a micromanager or over-controlling, or  whether you're going to collaborate with your team, being honest, with other people, bringing inclusion & diversity, 
• Agile - As a leader, are you willing to get out of your comfort zone,  willing to take risks, what's your risk tolerance?
• Lead-Are you a leader who leads with wisdom, with compassion, that's authentic and  that's humane.
• As a leader, you should distinguish between decision-making and discernment. asking yourself and your team the question ‘ I know we can, but should we?’

Join Lynn, Kirstin, and Mark in conversation on business as a force for good. Learn what we can each do to make a difference on the planet and in our communities.

Lynn is passionate about working with business leaders to create social impact and value with all stakeholders, customers, teams, and partners alike. "My experience in innovation, brand, and strategy as well as skill sets in data analytics, business model innovation, and design thinking, enable me to support brands in implementing purpose in their strategy and communication," she says.

"I worked with global companies and start-ups in the US and Europe to increase brand awareness and marketing campaign efficiency, deliver operational excellence and digital transformation, and increase sales in existing and new markets," Lynn says.

Are you tired of hearing that companies can’t create a profit and make a positive impact simultaneously?  

The Altruistic Capitalist looks to spark change in conversations in board rooms, offices, and schools to turn the focus from sales, profits, and returns to the impact good business can have on people and the planet. Through her interviews with prominent business leaders as well as her personal experiences in the business world, author Lynn Yap offers ways to rethink capitalism, create a positive impact, and do meaningful work. Yap looks to tackle questions like:

• Where do people and planet enter into the equation when businesses calculate returns?
• How can we turn a profit while also creating a sustainable business with positive impacts?
• How can companies scale impact to provide benefits to the environment and community?

Her book speaks to leaders, social entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, and innovators who want to change the relationship between business, our people, and the planet. We can no longer rely on governments and non-profit organizations alone to solve our social and environmental problems. As we look urgently to the business world for solutions, this kinder, more mindful brand of capitalism just may provide a pathway out. 

In this interview, Lynn chats with us about the path that led her to start her journey focusing on businesses that can be a force of good. While working at Adidas, she saw how various collaborations and partnerships with different startups enabled Adidas to maximize value and develop new innovations. This and other such experiences led her to write the book.

As a business owner, Lynn tells you you need to understand what, your purpose is, what drives you and your organization, what are the values that motivate your organization, and, follow those, your profit comes after that. 

She stresses the point that in today’s world, there is no trade-off between a company that focuses on environmental or people goals and a company that focuses on profits. Both these scenarios have to go hand in hand, it’s a win-win situation so as to maximize value for everyone.

John is an award-winning and best-selling author of more than 27 books that focus on parables about leadership like the Go-Giver series, The Latte Factor and Out of the Maze, which was the sequel to Who Moved My Cheese.

• Since Entelechy is about leadership, we asked John to highlight what you can learn from the Go-Giver leadership and why it still is such an appealing book 12 years later.
• John tells us how his early career as a concert cellist and prize-winning composer, changed by collaborating with Bob Berg on the Go-Giver books and shares with us the secrets to becoming a great storyteller. 
• What collaborating and ghostwriting on some different projects including a memoir for an ex-Navy seal sniper, has taught him about leadership.
• Focusing on the go-giver series in leadership, John Mann highlights the 2 types of leaders and how leaders can move from getting (whether it’s from their investors or stakeholders ) to giving. 

In addition, we talk about the 4 fingers and thumb rule when it comes to great leaders. And out of these, you will learn how to be:

• Receptive leader and person in general. 
• Living with a spirit of generosity
• Getting into the flow of giving and how it becomes your native state of being

When it comes to working in a team as a leader, John tells us how to balance perspective and empathy. And acknowledging your part of a cooperative enterprise.  

John’s main takeaway from this series is if you put your focus on helping other people by putting your focus on their interests, you end up succeeding yourself. 

John is currently working with his wife on a new book, The Go-Giver Marriage, for spring of 2022

As a wealth-conscious coach, AJ believes that NOW is the time for women to claim their confidence and feel empowered with their money, their financial decisions, and command their true worth. 

• Although AJ got into the conscious investor by accident, she chooses to stay there.  She was a financial advisor who led an active yogi life.  When she started meditating, she saw how she was generating her wealth was not in alignment with who she was at her core. 
• Through her practice in yoga, her values of integrity are transferred to her clients. She says if she won't do it herself, then she’ll not tell her clients to do it. 
• What AJ helps her clients focus on is changing their mindset. Eradicating the scarcity mindset and replacing it with a mindset of worthiness.  
• Wealth Consciousness is also about this idea of leadership and becoming more aware, of how money or how wealth was, or was not available to you when growing up or in your past and breaking through any barriers that you have with it.

AJ teaches people the 3T Framework of wealth creation:  

• Time -- how much energy you put into something
• Talent -- how you use yours 
• Treasure -- putting your dollars and your money into a place that adds meaning to you. 

She says, "A big part of the work that I do with women clients is to ensure they get really clear on their values. I teach them that wealth is actually within us and it's also outside of us. And so we want all things to be in alignment."

AJ’s vision is to bring a whole new way of wealth building in a conscious light, that will impact 1million people, and cause a ripple effect.

Mitch will give us a global view of the kinds of companies, the kinds of leaders of those companies who lead in a conscious way.  

A couple of things that have shaped Mitch’s journey as a wealth management and investment advisor have been founded on his experiences in:

1. Working for Larry King, where he learned to be a successful individual, you need to be a good listener coupled with curiosity you can be successful in anything that you do in life.

2. as a board member at a school, he realized that there wasn’t enough financial literacy for children and individuals.  He managed to pass a law in New Jersey that stated you can't graduate high school without a one-semester class about basic financial literacy.

• The current companies and CEOs are now focusing on the big picture as far as companies moving towards environmental and sustainability and good governance goals   (ESG) include: treating employees with respect and dignity, focusing on climate change which actually starts at home, having leaders that have EQ and IQ
• As an individual investor who is conscious about investing with companies that lead consciously, you need to do your due diligence on them.  
• There is a shift from ordinary companies to companies that are now philosophical impact

Aleanya Moore

Founder & CEO of Ladies Under Construction 

In today’s episode of Entelechy Leadership Stories, we have the privilege of speaking with an inspirational young leader Aleanya Moore. Aleana is driven by a purpose that is more than a mission, it is her legacy she is seeking to leave – change the trajectory of her bloodline and sprinkle belief and hope to disenfranchised youth so they are empowered to do the same. She is the Founder of Ladies Under Construction. She was the Youth Chairperson for Indianapolis NAACP and Speaker at the 2012 NAACP Youth Summit. She has won the Indianapolis Mayor Community Service Award and is also the author of Through My Lens.

Aleayna raised by her grandmother in a low-income housing complex faced many troubling situations during her childhood including being a fatherless child, having a mother on drugs, along with not understanding or valuing her worth. During high school, she became involved in her school’s basketball team working closely with her coach Mr. Alto King. Mr. King recognized her potential and pushed her into a more positive direction in life. Aleanya decided she would be the first in her family to go to college and pursue a degree.  

Her belief in herself combined with the support of her village has given way to a life of service that supports youth today by founding Ladies Under Construction a mentoring program for young schoolgirls ages 8 to 18. The foundation's mission is to provide leadership development programs, etiquette training, and character development support to organizations serving school-age girls. 

Aleayna guides young women by being real and relatable to become who they are meant to be by offering the following:

• All ladies are always under construction and never complete. 
• No one is perfect and it is ok to not be perfect.
• Everyone is growing and becoming the person they are meant to be. 
• Growth is continual.  
• Allow grace and patience for yourself.
• Build your foundation – a foundation of principles.
• Self-Esteem development and understanding who you are.
• Have the right character.
• It takes a village.
• Your village is your resources and support that can enhance and cultivate that growth aspect within you.

Aleayna’s biggest contribution and impact are leaving each young woman with an ounce of belief and hope. 

• “No matter where you come from or where you are at you can be that change”. 
• “A pivot for me was the fact that my basketball coach actually cared. My basketball coach taught me basketball and also life skills.”
• “They provided me with resources and exposure. Sprinkled a belief and hope even if I have not seen certain things and I may not think I can become something, once I was given that foundation that disciple strength and encouragement and support along the way I could be something I never had to change the trajectory of my bloodline.”

Lisa says, "As a clinician for the past 30 years, I have met with thousands of people and I recognized that those individuals who were committed to making sense of energy, in their way, moved into sustained alignment and their reality shifted. In my practice, in groups, and in my membership meetings, we take science and metaphysics and create more conscious synchronicities. I now dedicate my practice to those who are curious about creating their new paradigm and desire a higher dimensional way of being. STATE is dedicated to people who know there is more to life and want to have fun creating. YOU are the creator of your reality. You are the Divine however, you already knew that."

Chris says, "As a business owner and former corporate employee for the past 30 years, I have a unique ability to understand the challenges and opportunities that people face in their careers. For example, I had taken two different sabbaticals during my corporate career. I did these about eight years apart so that I could develop new skills. The first was creating a television show in 2002 that was directly connected to a membership website. The second was when I built a house and managed the entire process in 2011. There are many reasons why I decided to go outside my comfort zone but above all else, I needed to prove to myself that I was more than what people told me I was. I created Blue Sky to assist people who want to learn how to create and experience the lives they've always dreamed of having. I want people to hear my story and know that they have the power to do the same or more. "

A Conscious Leader

Tim has years of experience as a conscious leader, developing a lot of his conscious leadership skills from years of leading NBC NextMedia Productions. During his time there, he was responsible for creating innovative transformations for his company.

Tim highlights the importance of shifting your mentality from being a victim to being an accountable creator of your experiences.

Responsibility

As a victim who grew up in an abusive home, Sabrina's background has largely influenced her desire to create a company that positively impacts people's lives. Her goal is to shift the responsibility of addressing domestic violence off of the victim and onto the institutions these victims are in, such as schools, workplaces, and landlords.

Sabrina mentions in the interview some staggering workplace statistics: “There are 2 million incidents of workplace violence that occur each and every year in the United States. That comes out to be about 33,000 per week, and of those, about 17 results in a murder. That’s just in the workplace.”

If this is just reported violence in the workplace, clearly there's a much larger issue at hand.

Action

Sabrina decided early on that she didn't want to be another non-profit working to help domestic violence victims - she wanted to be an advocate that created solutions for victims in hopes of preventing abuse before it starts.

From workplace and school safety trainings and seminars to revolutionizing the real estate industry with innovative technologies to assess, monitor, and educate landlords and tenants on domestic violence in the home - OSSO Safe is tackling it all. Listen to the full podcast to learn more about what Sabrina's company is doing to truly make a difference in domestic violence situations, and what the future generation of Entelechy Leaders can do to support this cause.

Topics Discussed:

• 02:25  - A discussion about the increase of domestic violence in the home during the pandemic, why we are seeing this uptick, and the importance of having a support system in your home.
• 06:27 - The roles and responsibilities of others to create safe environments at home, in the workplace, and in schools - and how to be aware of these issues.
• 08:48 - Why everyone is essential in working to make all homes safe and free of domestic violence. 
• 09:37 - Sabrina discusses why her company focuses on training schools and workplaces on identifying violence.
• 11:10 - Addressing statistics on violence in homes and the workplace in the United States annually.
• 13:56 - For many years, the institutions that were designed to recognize violence and protect people living through those traumas were failing. Are they changing?
• 15:33 - Sabrina delves into the OSSO Safe Certification, the OSSO Safe Home Sweet Home Package, and being an OSSO Safe Property - some innovative tools and policies that her company is implementing in the real estate industry to protect victims.
• 17:42 - The second level of certification involves an app that detects domestic violence in rental properties to prevent “he said, she said” situations.
• 21:52 - Understanding why Sabrina called her Ted X “If You’re a Victim of Home Violence, Don’t Leave...Stay.”
• 26:27 - Elevating passion and personal experiences to the business level.
• 30:37 - Sabrina closes the podcast with words of wisdom as an Entelechy Leader to other Entelechy Leaders.

  Claude's official title at VaynerMedia for the past five years is Chief Heart Officer - and her job is to cultivate employees who bring their heart to their job and personal lives every single day.

  Chief Heart Officer

  Claude has been integral to shifting her workplace to adapt to the rising demand from younger generations to cultivate a workplace that truly cares about its employees. Her job description is to simply "...touch every single human... [in order to] infuse the agency with empathy." She is creatively pushing boundaries and breaking workplace norms to "[create] places where people come to feel loved, period."

  The Whole Picture

  For many years, companies instilled the "hustle" mentality in their employees. This standard of being overworked and not fulfilled in your job is exactly what Claude is trying to change as an Entelechy Leader.

  The basis for her position at VaynerMedia is to see the entire picture - one that encompasses passion and joy in both work and personal life. The idea that employees should come to work with an energy and excitement every day permeates into all aspects of life.

  While it is not easy to change the way companies hire, train, and ultimately fulfill employees, it is essential to lift up and encourage employees to better themselves in their work and home lives. These changes are leading to higher productivity and increased innovation. Leaders that are working with employees to focus on the whole human development process is the future of leadership.

  Topics Discussed:

  • 01:35 - Claude discusses the background of what a Chief Heart Officer is - and how this impacts leadership in business by doing what you love.
  • 04:01 - What is the importance of bringing your heart to work? How does it impact the work culture, especially with younger generations in the workforce?
  • 06:11 - Addressing how to put measurable policies in place to create “human intelligence” that cultivates the whole human to succeed in work and life.
  • 09:13 - Building a new workplace culture is difficult, so finding ways to balance productivity, innovation, and emotional intelligence is key.
  • 10:53 - Claude explains the intensive, unique onboarding experience for Vayner X - and the energy they look for in their employees.
  • 13:58 - How a Holistic Wellness Wheel, life coaching, meditation, and other tools are utilized in VaynerMedia to support their employees - and how it increases productivity and innovation.
  • 17:15 - Claude gives an overview of how she implements these tools in her work, leadership, and personal life.
  • 19:18 - Trying to solve the world is impossible, but we can make progress and huge changes by trying to do everything we do with joy and love.
  • 20:58 - What can people do to change the world with this type of leadership?
  • 22:16 - Claude dives into her own growth process, and how she came to develop this mentality she is utilizing in all aspects of life.

Becky is the author of a new book entitled The Happiness Recipe: A Powerful Guide to Living What Matters.

  Being Happy Today

  Becky has an impressive background in Litigation, working in financial markets and services, and years of experience in various aspects of the law. She spent her life checking off the boxes - going to good schools, getting good grades, getting herself a good job, having a family. Ultimately, these became a series of "career left turns", as Becky calls them. She spent all of this time going through life the way you're "supposed" to, but she was left feeling unfilled; as if she was always working towards the next goal to be happy, instead of being happier right now.

  As Becky says, "Happiness is for today, it's not for tomorrow. And so, it's not about being happy when you've achieved the title or achieved whatever you think the thing is, and it's not even about necessarily making a giant transformation in your life. It's about how do you incorporate more of what makes you tick into your life today, and allow that to drive your evolution forward."

  the cycles of happiness

  While it may seem like Becky has all of the answers now, she emphasizes throughout the podcast how long it took her to get to this higher plane of understanding on how to cultivate true happiness in her daily life. She describes two key moments that shifted perspective for her:

  • The Bathtub Moment: Becky describes a time about 15 years ago when she was deep into her full-time career in litigation - while raising a toddler! She was bathing her toddler while simultaneously handling paperwork and phone calls for work. At first, she thought, "I'm doing it all... I can have it all!" - but this immediately followed with the thought of how exhausted she was, and how this situation was completely unsustainable.
  • A Life-Threatening Moment: Becky describes this situation more throughout the show, but a life-threatening situation becomes a true wake-up call - especially when the "flashing before my eyes" moment was "conference calls and conference rooms". This is when she knew this was not her priority - and that she needed to start making what is a priority to her the center of her life, and ultimately her happiness.
  
  

  How many of you can relate to this overwhelming feeling of not living your best life? Becky continues to dive into the essence of her book, what drove her to write her book, and how she uses it daily in her life, but also to help others through her own coaching business.

  Throughout the podcast, they explore Becky's often-used analogy of "The Butterfly Season". This process of change, death, and rebirth is not one that we experience only once in life - we live through it many times. Becky's insight into letting go of the constant fear of change, of letting go of not trusting the process, and of learning to be more open to the butterfly cycle is heavily tied into the rebirth we are seeing in leaders throughout the world. These changes, and the willingness of the next generation of leaders to be open to the possibilities of what can be created - both in personal and professional lives - is the true pillar of being an Entelechy Leader.

  Key Takeaways:

  • Becky's book, The Happiness Recipe: A Powerful Guide to Living What Matters, emphasizes the importance of living here and now. The present is all we have, but the reality is that mother nature doesn't wait around for us to get on board with the changes of life. We must learn to adapt, to be resilient, and to let go in order to grow.

    Meet our guest today, Greg Yan!

    He has over six years in IT Sales and always had the goal of achieving the President’s Club. Last January, he told his manager, “I’m going to get this. I’ve always wanted to do this. I promise you - I’m going to do this… and I did.” But it wasn’t easy, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Greg spending more time with a commitment to self; by learning to be an Entelechy Leader who continuously focused on always seeing his role in any obstacle, who made an effort to give back to his communities and put more effort into his relationships, even when he was too exhausted. He makes the hard choice to look inward when things aren’t working quite right.

    Cultivating Integrity & Authenticity

    His background is filled with obstacles and challenges that have allowed him to shape a clear idea of what integrity, service to others, and being your true self means to him - and how to navigate all of life’s obstacles while thriving. Greg has found that focusing on his integrity, being authentic and real with who he is, and being of service to his community cultivates success for himself every day. With the help of his life coach, Kirstin Gooldy, he has become an Entelechy Leader in his professional and personal life - because success is so much more than making money. Learning to find the balance of all that life throws at you - the challenges, the successes, and all of the in-betweens - but doing it with integrity, honesty, and authenticity is the true key to success for Greg.

    Being True to Yourself to be successful

    As a Chinese American that immigrated with his family to America as a young boy to find the American Dream, as a gay man, and as a person diagnosed with ADHD, Greg has had many reasons to be unsure of who he is, to not know where he fits. As he mentions in this podcast, he didn’t have a role model who looked like him [timestamp around 7min] - a sentiment that so many can relate to. While it didn’t always feel like it, he now realizes that these obstacles were shaping who he was and helping him find success in all facets of life throughout adulthood. But how did a young man who lacked direction and understanding of himself and his passions learn to thrive in a successful relationship with his partner, all while achieving his goals in a highly competitive industry?

    Greg’s journey started by looking inward. Before he could give back and do more for others and his career, he had to start by cultivating his own self-worth, discover his self-understanding, and find what integrity meant to him. That constant commitment to looking inside led to an intricate understanding of integrity - one that is centered in no longer conforming to what society deems he is. As Greg puts it, “That’s one definition of integrity for me - just to be my true self.” Being honest with yourself and with others; committing to what you promise to do, and giving respect to others - all of these are pillars of Greg’s personal integrity that permeates into his professional and personal success. 

    The key to being an Entelechy Leader is having a well-blended and balanced life for Greg. After spending time looking inward, Greg has found that focusing on being of service, giving back to those in need, and being an advocate for his community is what has led to most of his success and happiness today. Being able to cultivate stronger leadership skills through self-worth and understanding facilitated his ability to be of service to others.

This stoked the passion in him to help discover his purpose in life - this key to success allowed all things to feel possible for him. 

    Key takeaways:

    • This episode starts off with a conversation about what is happening in the US today to Asian Americans during the pandemic, and the systemic issues that are facing Asian Americans today.
    • Greg mentions that, "...this is something I think about a lot... I unconsciously learned to accept it [as] just being the way it is… [but then] the other question I ask myself is 'Why does it take a shooting for me to really get present to it?'"
    • This discussion leads to unique insights into what these issues have re-instilled in the Asian American community. Greg sees his community uniting in new ways and finding a way to support one another during these difficult times.
    • Some takeaways from Greg’s perspective about what we can do to understand what is happening and how we can help to change it:
    • There’s no one way that will fix the hate and anger throughout the world, but a willingness to understand each other, to hear each other, and to be open to people’s varying experiences in life is a start.
    • Everyone's own lives influence their feelings, opinions, and actions; but learning how to listen to each other, even when we don't agree, and realizing we’re on the same team, is vital to change.
    • The importance of finding your community - and not putting yourself into a box - can shift the way you empower and motivate yourself. Without community, without self-understanding, and without co-collaboration with others, personal and professional success is almost impossible to achieve.
    • Greg spends some time discussing the trendy topic of “Flow”. So many people talk about how they’re in the Flow when things are good - but Greg finds his best successes with how he shows up when difficulties arise. Greg touches on how he stays in the Flow, even when it’s tough.

    She is also a TEDx speaker, lecturer, and educator, who believes that design & creative thinking should be used to solve global challenges and as a form of positive activism. 

    Her motivation

    Chrissy worked for NGOs in the field in a developing world using graphics to teach people around the issues of landmines and, and repeat getting refugees repatriated into different countries. Then, some of those kids and she ended up working in a big agency in London where she felt she was creating products that weren’t at all helping in the future. 

    After going through a rough patch in her life, and not feeling fulfilled, Chrissy started on a journey of self-curiosity and self-learning. Through consciousness, she was taking time to sit and work out what you love and what isn’t working. Chrissy emerged feeling there had to be a better way of designing, building, and manufacturing products that were beneficial to the future and would have a better impact on people and the environment.  That’s where Creative Conscience was born. She ended creating a platform for the world without any media budget, no funding or anything else. But she learned she was able to change the world just with her actions. 

    “And where do you start? Well, Nelson Mandela said the greatest weapon that we have to change the world is education. So if we can build from the ground up, which is what we started 10 years ago. Now, those young people are kind of infiltrating our industry as positive creative activists and they're changing organizations and agencies from, from inside.”

    
    

    examples Of new thinking

    
    

    Chrissy referred to a project that came in this year from Jonathan Ford, from the Danish school. He worked with the green party, the alternative party in Denmark. The project is called The Ice Poster. It changed the course of the conversation in their government. So his idea changed the election. The policy changed the conversation for that country and that is something that deserves to be celebrated. 

    Chrissy believes that our current academic system is too focused on consumption and finance money and that it is time to look to other ways of thinking.  And for that, there is also a need for mentors. 

    And how to become one? Well easily:  If you have something that you're really passionate about, say you're someone who has been in the corporate world and you've got some experience, you could mentor someone who might want to start a social enterprise or a business where you might have a challenge that you feel is really important. It might be around the environment. It doesn’t have to be completely specific to your fields, just something that you’re truly passionate about and help other young people.

    • Creative Conscience is where people in the creative and design industry use their talents and skills to create social and environmental impact. Chrissy uses her platform to teach conscious consumption and gets people to understand that in everything they do, they can serve people and the planet while making money and changing the world.
    • Through Creative conscience, she trains and supports young people and creatives from all over the world who want to make a change in the world.

Well easily:  If you have something that you're really passionate about, say you're someone who has been in the corporate world and you've got some experience, you could mentor someone who might want to start a social enterprise or a business where you might have a challenge that you feel is really important. It might be around the environment. It doesn’t have to be completely specific to your fields, just something that you’re truly passionate about and help other young people.

      • Creative Conscience is where people in the creative and design industry use their talents and skills to create social and environmental impact. Chrissy uses her platform to teach conscious consumption and gets people to understand that in everything they do, they can serve people and the planet while making money and changing the world.
      • Through Creative conscience, she trains and supports young people and creatives from all over the world who want to make a change in the world. 
      • Chrissy believes one of the ways to push for creative conscience is through education. By getting into creative schools, universities, and educational establishments and encouraging them to start building this into their curriculums, creative conscience will be embedded into our education systems and then embedded into businesses and organizations, creating positive change in the world from within.
      • Over the past nine years, she has held a global competition that awards students and graduates from any creative discipline, who have projects that focus on social or environmental impact. Shortlisted projects are judged on creativity and the potential impact, while the winning project is displayed on the companies website- winners page and brought to life through their impact scheme.  Using her platform to award and support young people from all over the world, change is happening, new ways of thinking, and policies are being implemented in various countries.
      
      

      Chrissy says, “If you've got an idea that is at the heart of it, doing something that is going to benefit the world, people will join in. You have to be able to bring in a community of people and collaborate and share. Now we teach things like conscious consumption. We wanted the design industry and the creative industry to come on board with the idea that they could use their talent for social and environmental impact, that young people from anywhere around the world could send us a project that was in line with our aim.” 

      Creative Conscience has undoubtedly achieved global change through winning submissions from the following: 

      • Paula Uzicanin: Created a project that would educate people on the fact that landmines might not be in their country, but the power for detonating them, definitely is. 
      • Hatem El Akad, Ted Pedro, Refaat Rico, and Lee I: Created “Gang for Good” an effort to turn women in London away from joining gangs. 
      • Leli Stella Leitner and Coco Shellim: Informing video game players of the popular game “Call of Duty” that the game pays real gun manufacturers to license their weapons in-game - It’s a video game funding real-world violence. 
      
      

      Through engaging young leaders, we have begun to reinvent society's definition of education. We have promoted creativity instead of financial gain and hollow motives. Chrissy says, “In our society creativity is not really taken seriously. These projects are creating change and movements. The way that our society is set up, it’s too focused on consumption, finance, and money. We’re all creative, but we’re taught in school that we’re not good at it. We’re siloed off and told that we aren’t skilled enough to be creative.”

      Have a project? Contact Chrissy.

      
      

      If you’re a young person who has a project or needs a sponsor or mentor, you can connect with Chrissy and she’ll help you connect with more people who will help you with your project. They want to make your project happen! You can reach out to her on LinkedIn. Creative Conscience is a charity, so they’re regulated with the charities commissions. They are ready to use arts as a means of creating conscience and helping the world change and improve. And, you don’t have to be an artist to help! Any profession or office is welcomed to join Chrissy’s platform of change.

      After rising from the ashes following his battle with low self-esteem and self-destruction, he has dedicated his life to mindfulness and leading others into present living.

      In his own words, “Everything about you is okay if you don’t judge it. Just for today, give yourself permission to think, say, and do what's authentic for you. Life is but a blink of an eye so why waste time trying to please others or do what's expected by the crowd. Instead, please yourself and do what’s right for you.

      Michaels work focuses on mindfulness and bringing people to their present moment in their body.

      His book,  Master your Mindspace details strategies in which living in the now can be attained. Michael says, “It's how we give away some of our present moment about worrying about what other people think. If you still care about what other people think, then the mindful thing to do is just acknowledge that. If other people's opinions or what they think about you matter then just the awareness of that matters. Do I continue to worry about what other people think and continue to worry or do I perhaps stretch a little and wear a pink hat, or a tutu, or talk in a high voice today? It's really hard to jump off a cliff and get it all in one hit. Eventually, your boundaries start to get a little bit bigger and a little bit more open. I’m just projecting onto them and it has everything to do with my insecurities. It's about wanting to and being ready and willing to stretch those one moment at a time”

      Although it has not yet been released, their book looks into the abuses of women from all walks of life and expresses their silenced voices through storytelling and vivid illustrations from a friend who is an artist in India.

      Much of Anjali’s perspective is cultivated in her devout practice of yoga. She shared, “What we see as something alternative is mainstream for many people in the world. That is yoga including meditation. Many people think that yoga is just a physical-based exercise, and it’s not. We know that there are tons of scientific-based studies which have shown the impact of yoga therapies on people. Whether it be cancer patients or stroke patients. All of that combined is what the world knows as yoga. I think it helps tremendously and my role is to make sure that we bring the correct form to light.

      Both Ryan and Anjali share humanitarian beliefs and the positive progression of mankind. Professor Baidya has worked extensively in Biopharma. These days, he mainly acts as a mentor for start-up companies in Silicon Valley and Japan. He thinks that some entrepreneurs do indeed have a higher vision for changing the world through innovation. 

      Much of our conversation focused on Ryan and Anjali’s work on their book, She Is. The project memorializes the experiences and suffering of women in the present time. The suffering has been going on for a long time. They mentioned the bravery and courage of the women they worked within coming out and sharing their voices. Anjali says, “Bringing in aspects about female empowerment and harmony, understanding that each of us has feminine and masculine characteristics. Bringing in the thought that things did not always use to be so bad for women. Women were always revered as goddesses. What happened over time?” Their works focus on the difficulty of the story and sharing these female voices while still providing some sort of positive outlook. 

      They shared quite a touching story surrounding the journey of their dear artist friend in India and his illustrative homage to women. The man who would later become an amazing artist became homeless in Indian in the late ’80s. He was starving and lost his will to live. The working women picked him up and took him to their house and fed him. The women of the night took this man in and helped him regain his livelihood. In an ode to the charitable women that helped him years ago, he uses paper to craft empowering examples of women. 

      Anjali referred to Ryan as a mentor at one point during our discussion. His wisdom was very apparent and it was obvious that much of his faith was instilled in the younger generation. Professor Baidya shared, “My view is that we are actually in a very difficult position right now at this moment. Everyone from the young generation to the people in power has to come together and make policy decisions in the US to influence the rest of the world. The younger generation will be the owner of these decisions. The role for the young generation is to speak out now before it is too late.”

      Ryan and Anjali make it their mission to inspire change and give their example of doing so by giving a voice to suffering women around the world.

Integrative medicine is practicing medicine in a way that selectively incorporates elements of complementary and alternative medicine into comprehensive treatment plans alongside solidly orthodox methods of diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Hall focuses on activating the mind, body, and spirit to treat the whole person. 

      Dr. Hall is interested not only in the content of science, but also the process of, “how is it what we think we know is really true?” Dr. Hall says, “One of the most unscientific things that scientists can do is discard the data that doesn't fit the model. At first, I thought well maybe alternative medicine has some good answers. Along the way, I started studying bodywork. I had also studied clinical hypnosis.” Dr. Hall aims to connect the unconscious mind with the conscious mind to allow each patient to communicate with their pain centers.

      In his book, The 7 Tools of Healing, he focuses on unlocking your inner wisdom and living the life your soul desires. In his own words, “As people would get in touch with their inner wisdom, as it would take over their own life, you see a part of yourself that you want to change. As you force it to change you get resistance. When you practice a skill you get better at it. These are the 7 tools of healing.” The 7 tools of healing are as follows:

      • Faith
      • Awareness 
      • Acceptance
      • Compassion
      • Forgiveness 
      • Gratitude 
      • Right action 
      
      

      Acceptance is considered the most important skill of all. Dr. Hall says, “we want our truth to be a certain way, so whenever we try to see our truth right now we try to fix it or change it. That makes us violate a law of consciousness. Acceptance is so important because you really can’t change until you accept the way you are. If you look at how consciousness works that’s your creative power and that’s what allows us to create things. Creativity flows where you focus your intention.”

      Our discussion shined a light on inner wisdom and admitting your moment right now. The importance of being kind to ourselves at that moment and possessing the mindfulness to be aware enough of our emotional and physical state. Our beliefs quite literally determine how we physically respond to situations.

Higher purpose, value, and SQ (spiritual intelligence) are all a part of Matt’s skillset.

      Growing up in what he deemed unusual circumstances, Matt's father passed away when he was 12. He came from an impoverished upbringing that inspired him to rise above and become successful. Along the way, he discovered that he had an inherent entrepreneurial side that he had never been aware of. Matt says, “I always had a tremendous amount of creativity. My journey was a traumatic childhood and figuring out how to survive along the way.”

      Matt describes the countless mistakes he made in life, giving him the wisdom that he carries today. He detailed his spiritual awakening taking place by accident. Matt says, “I fell into it. I always felt like I had ideas and I wanted to make money. I was an engineer, and I was very technical, so I started doing side work for people. It began to build up.”

      Matt found an incredible amount of stimulation and confidence in his passion for IT. He was working outside of the corporate environment, problem-solving within IT, and soon discovered that this was his dream. The creativity invoking challenges that he faced servicing clients in his side work paved the way towards his inspiration for current projects like Mindcore. Matt says, “Ultimately, it ended up that I was making 3 times as much with my side business as I was at my regular job. I didn’t have to go through what a lot of people go through which is starting something up. I just ran with it at that point. I was like, I’m never going back to work for anybody.”

      Today Matt’s primary focus involves tending to his people in an incredibly loving and authentic way. In Matt's words, “I spend a lot of time coaching and teaching the people that work at my company. To work at my company, you have to share the same belief system. It starts with a belief, and the belief is that we’re all on the ship going the same direction. I spend more time coaching and giving therapy at my company than anything else.”

      It’s leadership like Matt’s that creates purpose and evolution of the family tree within companies that we all yearn for today. A leader that bases his most core methodology on finding like-minded think tanks that operate from the same place of care that he does.

      He has a brand new podcast, “Dig In” with self-made business people.

      Matt found an incredible amount of stimulation and confidence in his passion for IT. He was working outside of the corporate environment, problem-solving within IT, and soon discovered that this was his dream. The creativity invoking challenges that he faced servicing clients in his side work paved the way towards his inspiration for current projects like Mindcore. Matt says, “Ultimately, it ended up that I was making 3 times as much with my side business as I was at my regular job. I didn’t have to go through what a lot of people go through which is starting something up. I just ran with it at that point. I was like, I’m never going back to work for anybody.”

      Today Matt’s primary focus involves tending to his people in an incredibly loving and authentic way. In Matt's words, “I spend a lot of time coaching and teaching the people that work at my company. To work at my company, you have to share the same belief system. It starts with a belief, and the belief is that we’re all on the ship going the same direction. I spend more time coaching and giving therapy at my company than anything else.”

      It’s leadership like Matt’s that creates purpose and evolution of the family tree within companies that we all yearn for today. A leader that bases his most core methodology on finding like-minded think tanks that operate from the same place of care that he does.

      He has a brand new podcast, “Dig In” with self-made business people.

      She has offered our listeners a free e-copy of the book. Go to https://eldigital.experimentalleader.com/the-experimental-leader-digital-book

      Melanie is a speaker, consultant, workshop leader, author, and Master Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation, in which she received the Prism Award. Melanie has consulted and operated within organizations ranging from a Fortune 50 company to IT start-ups within their first round of funding. 

      Many of Melanie’s innovations surrounding business outline science and a need for experimentation and data collection.

      Melanie says, “When we have a status quo that we want to change, we start to try things and we start to experiment. I’ve noticed in organizations that what happens traditionally with people’s careers is they live and die by ideas. We’ve all been on a team where someone had an idea and they invested a ton of money, but the idea didn’t work out. Then that leader loses credibility in the organization. When we adopt in leadership an experimental culture, we start to think of experimenting in something we all buy into together.”

      In today’s corporate environment we are demanding innovation.

      • The beauty of an experiment is playing as you go and deciding how much you want to invest up-front.
      • We’re just trying to prove the concept, and Melanie provides us with practical application.
      • Melanie says, “That explicit awareness that you’ve asked people to spend their lives working for you, for the organization, and to pay attention to what they’re doing and to hold that curiosity deeply about what they’re doing. Then, to help support them to help do their bottleneck so they can do it better.”
      
      

      Are we truly supporting our upcoming leaders with innovative techniques such as Melanie's?

      • Experimentation in business seems to possess a certain kind of togetherness and risk.
      • A hypothesis that we can all buy into together, and if we fail, the next experiment begins. Ideas like these inspire creativity by informing the corporate audience that this is a process in trial and error rather than immediate gratification. 
      
      

      Other resources referenced in this episode:

      • Theory of Constraints a process improvement methodology of Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt that emphasizes the importance of the system constraint or “bottleneck.”

      Amy Lynn places emphasis on coaching and leadership development surrounding the 21 traits associated with spiritual intelligence. Her range spans from performance intelligence to where the majority of her leadership development takes place in spiritual intelligence, otherwise known as SQ. Several traits associated with spiritual intelligence include:

      • Self-awareness
      • Spontaneity
      • Being vision-and value-led 
      • Holism
      • Compassion 
      
      

      Amy Lynn’s latest book: Create Magic at Work, delves into filling a void for individuals that feel isolated and burnt out from loneliness in the workplace. Vulnerability and connection within a team don’t happen by coincidence, but with intention. She teaches her readers to learn some practical rituals which elevate emotional and spiritual intelligence. Amy Lynn draws parallels between her theories and Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which state that five categories of human needs dictate an individual's behavior: physiological needs, safety needs, love, and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs.

      Amy Lynn seems to have an incredible understanding of the untouched spiritual realm that restrains and stands between leaders and their innovators. She mentions the incessant need for more companies to move away from the financial power ideal, and into connectivity that breeds authenticity within the workplace.

      Amy Lynn says, “I was at home doing all of the spiritual growth activities and I was finding that they were really impacting my leadership in the workplace. When I would go to work, I couldn’t figure out a way to combine the two because I was in that competitive corporate space of quotas and answers to the shareholders, all those things. Day by day showing up as your authentic self in any place. You can show up and be your authentic self in any space no matter where you are.”

      We are all encapsulated with a burning desire to show up as our authentic selves. According to Amy Lynn, “You have to maintain connection, you can’t be in isolation to coregulate. It’s a ton of inner work to show up as being confident.” It seems that we should all initiate the daily reprieve in heightened self-esteem and working towards being our authentic selves. Just like everything in life, it takes work.

      Kathy’s consultancy called New Castle Finance helps women understand their finances, make confident decisions, and thrive in business. As a fractional CFO, Kathy uses her extensive skill set to support small businesses by elevating their knowledge in accounting and operating with leadership.

      Kathy immigrated from Slovenia to the US at the age of 19 and surprised herself with her ability to integrate. In her words, “I was born and raised in Slovenia, a tiny country of 2 million people. I didn’t really have any dreams of where I wanted to end up. I had an opportunity after finishing high school to study in the US and I took it. I was 19 years old, and I went to a completely new country. I started learning English when I was 15. I’m still kind of surprised that I was able to do that and go into a new culture and new way of thinking so easily.”

      Kathy’s strength in overcoming challenges as an immigrant translated into her determinations within the business world. She described her initial approach in working with clients as developing a human connection and simply getting to know them. She said, “as a fractional CFO, I'm not just there to interpret the numbers and help them through it, I’m a little bit of a psychologist as well too. For women, they sometimes struggle with imposter syndrome. How do I grow and take this business to the next level? Can I actually do that?”

      Through her financial psychology sessions, Kathy determines the goal for each business and the brand they plan to represent. Kathy described the stark differences regarding accounting and freedom between the corporate world and small businesses. She told us “the greatest and worst things about being your own boss are freedom.” Kathy helps business owners with difficulties like these discover their real identities and operate at their highest potential.

      Kathy says, “You have to fake that things will work out. Once you start walking, the path will appear. The most important thing is that you don’t have to have everything figured out. You start walking, by magic, things start appearing. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. When I look at my own business now, where I was 2 years ago is a completely different path than I am on right now. The willingness to be uncomfortable and learn is a huge thing in life and business.”

      Also, she mentions another of her favorite podcast from Donald Miller, the author of Building a StoryBrand:

      Trav’s mission in life includes “waking people up and getting them to live their soul's purpose.” He describes three different bucket lists that can be used to rocket its user into the 4th dimension: the future bucket list, the reverse bucket list, and the f-it list.

      All of us have operated without meaning and purpose at a time in our lives by default, but what would happen if we put some design behind our actions?

      Trav says, “It’s helping people live a regret-free life. How a person reverse engineers every aspect of their life to make this stuff come to fruition about the growth of us on this journey towards these self-imposed destinations. More importantly, it’s about the person on the other side, the person we don’t know yet.

      “There’s a heap of cool stuff that you want to do, most importantly about the why. If it’s making you emotional and inspiring you to do something that throws it on that bucket list. It’s not a matter of resources but a matter of resourcefulness. You don’t want a could have list or a list of missed opportunities. The bucket list is based on positive psychology and helping people find more meaning and purpose in life.

      It’s people like Trav that lead us to the question of, “have I done enough in my life.” This man has taken many different routes in his life, and at one point led a personal training company that brought on thousands of members. He explained, “In the 10 years that I’ve been doing this, it’s woken up so many people and given people real tools to live more meaningful lives.

      All of us hope to achieve a more meaningful life. This surely includes forced self-reflection and a greater desire to do things now.

      • Cera was born in Kenya and graduated from UCLA with a degree in international development and entrepreneurship. Her social enterprise, Ecodunia, makes sustainably sourced products, empowers marginalized communities, and educates underprivileged women. Cera ultimately hopes to build bridges between her two communities in Kenya and the United States.
      • Matthew is a writer, Hollywood filmmaker and all round creativity coach. Over the last 20 years, he has made nine feature films, eight documentaries, and worked with actors Carrie-Anne Moss, Zac Efron, Edi Gathegi, Melora Hardin, Kevin Costner, Bill Borden – Academy Award winner Francis Ford Coppola and Oscar-nominated director Mike Johnson. Last year, he released the documentary film, “Hardball: The Girls of Summer.”
      • Together, they are the creators of The Lover's Journal, a guided journal for couples, and co-hosts of The Interracial Couple Podcast.
      
      

      Cera’s commitment to herself was giving greater service to the opportunity of coming to the US and earning a degree. She envisioned empowering others by taking the opportunities she had received and making them possible for the less fortunate. If she ever did go to work for a major corporation, she would ensure it was one giving back to her homeland of Kenya.

      After graduating from college, Cera and Matthew made the pilgrimage to Kenya aiming to provide work to war-torn communities. Cera’s education would now prove to be useful, improving the lives of others on a mission to end global poverty. Her enterprise aims to build up to 500 jobs for people who have been left behind by the global economy and use part of their profits to provide high school education to girls in Kenya.

      Highlights:

      • Harnessing blessings and paying it forward
      • Bi-continental charity and development
      • Communication in relationships

      His most recent book, It's All The Same To Me: A Torah Guide To Inner Peace and Love of Life sheds insight on the human condition and our God-given potential for achieving happiness. Deepak Chopra calls his works “an added contribution to the world's enlightenment.”

      At a glance, all of us are unique and nothing in this world is the same except for everything binding it together. Behind everything, there is a unified sameness. There is a type of life you can live on a joyful, peaceful, and loving plane that one can experience when they start to touch base with the sameness that we see in everything. The focus is trying to connect to the universal connection that we are all here together as one.

      Moshe describes uncanny parallels between the spiritual path and marketing. As we continue to broadcast ourselves and express vulnerabilities, we connect with our audience more deeply. The message is heard, and in turn, we get out of our way. Moshe shares a path towards mysticism and cosmic relation. 

      Moshe says, “I spent my teenage years lead singing for a signed rock band before my first spiritual awakening that brought me to Jerusalem. The next fifteen years were spent in deep study and practice of spirituality. I had my inner struggles, traumas, and dark night of the soul but in the end, thank God, have found myself swimming in the glowing light of freedom with a desire to share my wisdom, story, and light.

      “Originally from Los Angeles, Ca, I grew up with the ambition of being a rock star. Not fully out of the question, as I was given the gift of music and a passion for the stage. I spent over seven years writing, recording, releasing albums, and touring. We opened up for some of our favorite bands and got to see America and part of Canada in the process.

      “When I was twenty I had my first spiritual awakening that brought me to Jerusalem to find out what life was all about. I was in love with my music, but even more in love with life. I found something called a Yeshiva, a place of Jewish study, where we learned Torah for ten hours or more every day. I did this for the next thirteen years.

      “The topic of my new book coming out in February is Hishtavus - which means equanimity or sameness. The power of sameness is something the core of this teaching. How beyond the physical appearance of all things we are connected as One.”

      Christina specializes in super-achieving and is on a mission to help others achieve more in life, mainly by getting out of their own way, and currently does this through her books, podcast series, professional development courses, and keynote speeches.

      Christina’s newest book, Life is an Escape Room: Applying Lessons Learned from Successful Escapeletes to Achieving More in Life, demonstrates how the skills you gain playing escape rooms with intention will make you more successful in all aspects of your life. Escape rooms are a fun way to learn about perception, communication, leadership, how to have better relationships, and so much more! Each chapter provides entertaining and insightful advice (and exciting stories!) to help you improve your professional and personal life skills. In our interview, we find out how a booby-trapped Egyptian tomb, following a pirate’s treasure map, and a Sherlock Holmes mystery with an obstacle course, a hedge maze, and a playground can make your life better and improve your self-awareness and personal skills.

      Christina’s other publications include: Quit Bleeping Around: 77 Secrets To Superachieving and The Secret to Super Productivity.

      Listen to our conversation, and you’ll see how much of what Christina taught in law enforcement centered around awareness and self-reflection. The quality of self-awareness requires self-reflection. It is the act of making time to earnestly take a look at yourself. Beginning as a person, and then a leader. If we can take the time to understand how we are perceived by others, we can lead more effectively.

      Christina describes emotional intelligence training and safety training as being interdependent because people are understanding each other at greater depths. She saw a window of opportunity from her services in law enforcement that directly translates to her work in professional development.

      Highlights:

      • using intuition for decision-making
      • building your intuitive muscle
      • make more deposits than withdrawals
      
      

      Today, Christina works with a team of instructors that deliver an online course every month. Their core principle shines a light on the concept of great success through greater self-awareness.

ParsonsKelly J Parsons is the founder of Kelly J Parsons Creative Services. With extensive knowledge in design, marketing, and branding, Kelly has practiced core methodology is building businesses beginning with spiritual well-being. Her dedication to reliability, honesty, and communication offers a level of professionalism that can be hard to come by in the creative world.

      Kelly’s foundation was inspired by an early client who happened to own a metaphysical store in South Florida. Her introduction to the metaphysical world ignited her spirit in a way that left her looking outside of herself and previous religious leanings.

      Following her own spiritual revival, Kelly found that she shared a common bond with like-minded clients searching for their inner truth. Her coaching became more natural, and an opportunistic permission to tap into a client’s energy elevated the playing field.

As a technophile harnessing a wide range of global objectives, her current projects include inclusivity and accessibility of design, overcoming accessibility restrictions, and an annual awareness of black history month. Jerlyn’s focus is bridging the gap between technology and art by imposing her humanistic illustrative technique.

      Jerlyn is known for creating a digital experience and attention-grabbing art that amplifies the human purpose by concentrating on inclusivity and accessibility of design. She consistently communicates to and reaches a growing and diverse demographic.

      Growing up on the island of Dominica, Jerlyn learned from an early age the importance of inclusivity and accessibility within her community. If there were ever a neighbor that she failed to greet when coming home from school, her mother would be made aware of it. The childhood teachings of empathy and love embodied by her native land translated to her inspirational work in the disabled community. Following a life-changing encounter with a disabled woman, Christina Mallon-Michalove, Jaelyn decided to accelerate her knowledge of access restrictions and how she could improve experiences for people like Christina through accessible technology.

      Gigi is Executive Director of Green Wisdom School of Natural & Botanical Medicine and Women’s Environmental Institute. Gigi has a commitment to improving global health and wellness in a completely sustainable organic holistic way versus a technical, singular, and unempathetic way. Weaving complete answers from multiple sources to fix our cosmology. 

      Gigi discusses the importance of looking at what truly feeds and nourishes your soul. Core competencies of healing the human soul are deepened by utilizing intuition, sensing, compassion, and empathy. This supports the listening and responding to a person's needs in a greater way. Part of the work is emitting heart-felt energy. Being an exquisite empath.

      The personal commitment to self-awareness enables one to look at the deeper commitments in the Soul and heart. Going beyond the self and cultivating and serving a greater purpose a larger calling. Healing the full cosmology allows one to thrive versus survive. It is not enough to have a personal passion, think bigger, have a bigger Soul purpose, what is the collective requirement and how does my Soul purpose support and fulfill this. 

      Utilize contemplative time and silence as well as nature for self-awareness and growth. Be in counsel with nature to understand the ecological and environmental requirements. Deepen your connection to nature and earth as the environment and planet have messages for us. 

      Primary ways to connect deeper and communicate with nature and our earth:

      o  Create and cultivate spaciousness to hear messages

      o  Silence – being quiet

      o  Be in nature - unplug

      o  Receive and transmit – connecting with plant spirit allies

      o  Understand how you receive and transmit – develop your intuitive skills

      She has been featured in INC Magazine, a semi-finalist in US Venture SheEO, and has won awards and noted in social impact groups.

      Wanona Satcher shares with us her extraordinary vision and commitment to design and build "prosilient" communities that are green, affordable, and citizen-led -- and supported by responsible and strategic investment. They transcend the old political dominions to ensure a high quality of living for everyone. 

      Wanona comes from a dynamic lineage of women that she says helped form and shape her life of empathy, service, and action. Her grandmother worked along side great leaders such as Andrew Young, Martin Luther King, and other civil rights leaders who have informed and shaped Wanona’s mission and vision.

      A few core tenants that are anchors Wanona shared:

      ·     Prosilient communities = proactive (vs reactive) + resilient

      ·     Creating spaces of inclusivity and diversity

      ·     Honoring the land

      ·     Democratize access, everyone participates in the design of a community

      ·     Intergenerational wealth for all

      ·     Empath and service

      ·     Community and collective

      ·     Inclusive, cooperative, and holistic vs. extractive, exploitive and destructive

      Erika is the founder of Uffindell. She started the business in 1989 and has led the business as CEO for 25 years before moving into the Chair role in 2014.

      She is also a Director of The Global Centre for Conscious Leadership, a Partner in Pinea3 Living Organizations, Director of Founding Wisdom, and a founding member of Conscious Capitalism UK.

      The concept of conscious Leadership is evolving and becoming an essential part of a companies ecosystem. The term conscious leadership has been referred to as responsible leadership, authentic leadership, servant leadership. It all comes from the same standpoint within leaders; a high level of consciousness and greater levels of self-awareness. Having these higher levels of self-awareness leads to systemic awareness in which leaders see the system as a whole. 

      Conscious leadership expands from the “I” and “We” to the “Us”. Traditional leadership focuses on the “I” and how the “I” impacts the “We – the business”. Systemic leadership has the capacity to see and solve for the “Us” that includes the impact on society. Conscious leadership embodies how “we” work with others, and how we work together to solve the world problems. Purpose-driven companies are organizations that have a higher purpose that extends out, being aware of their impact out on the wider society. With an emphasis on how we are a force to do good in the world.

      Conscious leaders have a great capacity to tame and train the ego, the ability to see the wider picture, has the ability to see multiple perspectives, deeply listens to and seeks to understand others, stands in non-judgment, and open to holding space for ideas to emerge for both individuals and companies to grow. They have the capacity to see the macro view of the higher purpose and the ability to focus on the micro granularity to focus and run a business.

      Erika describes the studies being done on a global platform to measure and capture the key data points of the financial performance of companies run by conscious leaders. Capturing the value of conscious leadership for shareholders through quantifiable data supports the implementation and longevity of leaders committed to higher values and purpose.

      He works with companies and leaders to thrive, gain clarity about their mission and purpose and reach their potential. He also supports them in aligning their organizations with their greatest assets and advocates, their people.  Failing to acknowledge and empower your people has a huge impact on the bottom line. This is part of maximizing the potential within an organization.

      Research shows that those that get coaching create a greater financial impact on the bottom line. If you empower the people and create an environment where people can say what they need to say without repercussion and the ability to be part of the solution you find they bring forward innovative brilliant ideas that support the growth and profitability in the company. Being valued and respected gets far more out of the employee and contributes to the evolution and profits.

      LaChelle is a contributing author to the internationally best-selling book Awakening: Meet the Women Birthing a New Earth, which reached #1 in the US, UK, Australia, and the Netherlands. The essence of her chapter is heart-centered conflict resolution; creating the foundations to be the peaceful change.

      As the Founder of Silence of Sound Yoga, she blends this experience together with her Yoga Alliance 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher certification as an international teacher and sound healing practitioner.

      LaChelle shares her experiences as a country director for various non-profit organizations on the impact of conflict on both a local and international level. She speaks to how conflicts have the ability to negatively impact both ways, international conflicts negatively impact local communities and local conflicts have the potential to impact international peace agreements.

      She further outlines the impacts of both voluntary and involuntary migration, the impact of climate change on migratory patterns, and conflicts that arise out of fear over the resources of water, food, and agriculture. The impact of fear is that it creates an inability to rationalize how one processes thoughts and how one societally responds to fear. To transcend fear, there is a need to master mindful awareness to objectively see beliefs and identities that one is holding onto and deconstruct who we think we are.

      The question was raised “how do two sides come together if both sides do not want to?” LaChelle was clear it cannot be done from one’s head, the mental state, if we deal with conflict from there, it will not be resolved. People must come into their heart and come from the heart. They need to be able to feel it, be able to sit with this discomfort. This is the key to overcoming the challenges of differences. 

      LaChelle uses and teaches yoga and sound therapy practices to come into our body, get into the heart instead of the head, not operate out of fear and operate from mindful awareness. Through mindful practices, one can identify, remove and rewire and create different outcomes with a new mindset. You then become more aware, less responsive, and act less impulsively.

      This is a much-needed conversation that further supports the goal of working towards peace and unity.

      Great value-based high performing leaders lead:

      ·     Lead up

      ·     Lead sideways

      ·     Lead down

      The best leaders empower junior leaders to take control, take charge and run their departments. They give their underlings and authority to run with ideas, tasks, running their department - give them purpose. They take care of their people, their families, the whole person concept, truly caring, individual approach. To achieve high performance in your company, you need to know about your teams, what impacts them and what is happening in their home and personal life. Understand the values each of the members of your company hold true and honor them.

      Kristin is an entrepreneur-enthusiast who lives by the mantra "work less + make more". She enjoys helping entrepreneurs ditch the vanity metrics for true connections. She's the CEO of YesBoss, a digital agency that helps service-based business owners book podcast features, so they can generate new leads in just one hour per week. 

      In line with her work less and make more, Kristin’s commitment is to the alignment of entrepreneurship and the life she wants for herself - freedom, family, balance, and financial success. This is the why, the driver behind how she runs her efficient business. 

      Kristen speaks to her experience of leveraging her failures with her companies, pivoting, recreating, and cultivating success, and what it takes to grow a company. She learned “what makes a fantastic employee does not make a fantastic entrepreneur”. Through her perseverance, vision, and creativity she created a successful, high-performing digital agency.

      Who doesn't love crystals?? Join Mark and Kirstin as they speak with Richard Wegner, owner of Wegner Crystal Mines in Arkansas. You can own precious gems and crystals and still maintain balance and love for our earth.

      In this episode of Entelechy Leadership Stories Mark and Kirstin speak with conscious leader Richard Wegner, owner of Wegner Crystal Mines in Arkansas. Richard shares with us what it means to be a sustainable mine that produces some of the highest quality quartz crystals in the world.  His commitment is to improve social, economic, and environmental well-being of the community. Wegner Crystal Mine philosophy: “..an enterprise that through its efforts, puts little to no negative impact on the global or local environment, community, society, or economy…”.

      Richard’s established the mine in 1980. His intent was set from the beginning, to extend personal conscious green living practices into all aspects of the business. He was guided and counseled by the local indigenous community on how to create a harmonious balance between giving and taking from the earth and how to interact and care for our planet and nature. This has always been one of the utmost priorities at Wegner’s. Richard describes a way of life aligned with indigenous principles and how he infuses them into all aspects of his life. 

      He incorporates the principles of balance between give and take in interacting with our planet and nature. These include several green practices such as incorporating the three Rs’ (reuse, recycle, and reclaim), renewable energies, greenhouse, clean waterways, and healthy thriving earth. 

      Other green initiatives:

      • Built warehouse taken from the property and milled locally
      • Repurpose old barn into Wegner Crystal Mines’ Museum, wholesale warehouse, offices, and tourist destination.
      • Recycle area for employees and customers
      • Reclaim boxes from local stores to pack and ship orders
      • Reuse bags and boxes for tourists’ to take home rocks

      • Use efficient LED and fluorescent lighting
      • Buy bulk, lessening their carbon footprint
      • Use solar and wind-powered electricity

      The message in this interview is that leadership is about developing loyal followers. Dan Edds is about innovating the practice of leadership.

      His book, Leveraging the Genetics of Leadership radically innovates this understanding. Great leadership becomes a system of leadership that creates a great experience for the workforce.

      His book, Leveraging the Genetics of Leadership radically innovates this understanding. Great leadership becomes a system of leadership that creates a great experience for the workforce. The power in this approach is that only a system of leadership can scale vision, values, and a consistent employee experience across the enterprise. Only a system of leadership can create a workforce engaged in creating extraordinary value for all stakeholders. The result is unparalleled organizational performance that makes customers line up at your door.

      In this episode, you will learn how elite organizations:

      • Engage their entire workforce in creating customer value
      • Custom-engineer their leadership DNA or genetic code
      • Create a workforce that become their biggest ambassadors
      • Design rules, routines, and organizational habits that will ignite innovation
      
      

      Traditional books on leadership strive to create courageous leaders who will attract followers. Leveraging the Genetics of Leadership will show you how to create a courageous workforce who will attract customers. The result is unparalleled performance and a workforce that grows into confident and empowered human beings. It all begins when you learn how to leverage the genetics of a leadership system

      Daniel Edds has been a management consultant for twenty-five years. His clients include states, cities, counties, healthcare organizations, and nonprofits. He holds a MBA in International Business from the Alber’s School of Business and Economics at Seattle University. Dan is a Kaplan Norton in Scorecard graduate, certified Lean practitioner, an experienced Project Manager Professional, and a senior Baldrige Examiner through the Alliance program.

      As the author of Leveraging the Genetics of Leadership and Transformation Management, he is recognized internationally for his expertise in applying classical systems thinking to the practice of organizational leadership.

      Antoine is Executive Director of Public Relations and Institutional Development at Athens Technical College. He shares with us the pivotal moment within him when he realized enough is enough: the heart-breaking atrocity of George Floyd. That's when he found himself rising to ensure his and other voices were no longer silenced.

      Antoine authentically shares his experience facing hateful rhetoric. He expresses his love, passion, and pride for the Country, as an American. He shares values his parents instilled in him to “treat everyone right, walk with respect, show respect. We just need to talk to each other”. 

      Antoine suggests that we all get out of our comfort zone, walk around and meet people, talk to people, humanize everyone. Do something you would not usually do.

      Change is on the horizon, the hope of the younger generation not having the same prejudices, where color of the skin does not matter. Antoine offers ideas to further expand the youth’s potential to change the racial inequality. He says, "Keep your kids connected to extra-curricular activities where they are exposed to different people with different point of views."  

      Key highlights:

      • Respect other’s opinions
      • Have honest open discussions
      • Open your mind’s to new viewpoints
      • No more yelling and hateful words
      • Try to understand others and in doing so proceed with kindness. 
      • Meet your neighbors
      • Join a group you wouldn’t normally
      • Expand realm of experience to try to understand where others are coming from.

      Joni Kindwall-Moore, is founder and CEO of Snacktivist Foods, a women-owned food revolution based in Northern Idaho. Its passion is to drive a new grain economy through the development of leading-edge baking mixes and a finished product line of 'better-for-you" baked goods.

      BE Alink founded the Alinker Family Farm, which promotes a healthy life by building community for people who are isolated and dismissed because of disability, making activity possible with Alinkers and engaging in conversations about the food we eat, growing the food we eat, building a community by us, for us.

      Brandi DeCarli passionately shares the mission of her company, FARM FROM A BOX, and her personal purpose: to revolutionize local food production and enable communities around the world to grow their own nutritious food with clean technology.

      "Every person should have access to healthy, nutrient-rich food and every farmer should be able to provide for themselves and their community in a safe, environmentally beneficial way. Food production is about more than just growing crops — it provides independence, opportunity, and a way to reconnect with the food we eat," Brandi says.

      We reference the seminal work of Daniel Goleman in his book EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE.

      When we experience fear or anger, it triggers the "flight-or-fight" response.

      On the other hand, the emotions of love and happiness create an attraction and a warmth.

      We relate these emotional responses to our recent conversations in "Amplifying Black Voices."

      Did someone make a racist comment in a meeting? Did a job candidate not get a fair opportunity because of race? Did you see a colleague's performance unfairly evaluated?

      Harvey shares why it's so important to address these injustices in the corporate workplace.

      Takeaways:

      The Mission

      The mission of Farm From A Box is to encourage and enable people to start and maintain their own healthy food production. By providing water pumping mechanisms, a cold-storage unit, WIFI connection for “remote farming,” etc., Farm from a Box provides resources for people around the globe to grow their own sustainable food source in an environmentally-friendly way. Farm from a Box tool kits are designed to overcome climatic challenges, allowing growers to sustain food production year-round. 

      Benefits of Farm From A Box

      The object of Farm From A Box is benefitting the person and the planet. Farm from a Box enables health, sustenance, nutrition, community, connection to the land, and conscious eating. By utilizing Farm from a Box, one can live a healthier, “greener” life. From any country, this company provides the tools and the education necessary to reduce malnutrition to those in deprived areas, along with reconnecting with your roots and forming a new connection to nature.

      Food is Medicine

      As the world slowly becomes more health-conscious, some hospitals have begun growing their own food or utilizing local farmers instead of providing patients with over-processed or manufactured foods. In most hospitals today, overweight patients, instead of being advised to correct their diet, are given prescriptions. 

      Obstacles:

      In creating Farm from a Box, DeCarli faced the main challenge of overcoming all of the variables of outdoor agriculture. In order to resource growers in different locations, climates, soil, etc., DeCarli had to find a way to make an adaptive took kit that would benefit every grower in every part of the world. While this system had to be adaptive to location, it also has to conform to individual locations’ policies, such as solar panel restrictions, growing policies, etc.

      Maintaining the Mission

      DeCarli suggests getting to know local farmers. By getting to know them, you can utilize them and ask them how you could help to support their efforts. You can also support DeCarli’s mission by taking a stand against processed food in hospitals and schools, urging facilities like these to make the healthy change. Making a change is about personal sacrifices, following your gut, and overcoming obstacles.

      "Every person should have access to healthy, nutrient-rich food and every farmer should be able to provide for themselves and their community in a safe, environmentally beneficial way. Food production is about more than just growing crops — it provides independence, opportunity, and a way to reconnect with the food we eat," Brandi says.
