In this episode, Andrew Soren is joined by organizational psychologist Ryan Fehr to explore how gratitude and social sustainability shape the quality of our relationships at work, and why those relationships are central to whether work feels meaningful, energizing, and fair.Ryan is a Professor of Management and Michael G. Foster Endowed Professor at the University of Washington's Foster School of Business, where his research focuses on building positive relationships, leadership, gratitude, compassion, forgiveness, solitude, and social burnout. In this conversation, he helps clarify what gratitude really is: a feeling of appreciation for benefits that come from outside ourselves. At work, that means recognizing the ways other people contribute to our progress, wellbeing, and sense of belonging.Andrew and Ryan dig into why gratitude can be so powerful in organizations, and why it can backfire when it feels forced, uneven, or disconnected from fairness and respect. They also discuss Ryan's work on social sustainability: the ability to build relationships that energize us rather than exhaust us.This conversation offers a practical look at what it means to feel that we matter at work. And, you'll learn what leaders, teams, and individuals can do to build relationships that are meaningful enough to sustain us.Key TakeawaysGratitude can strengthen workplace relationships by helping people feel seen, valued, and connected.Appreciation has to be authentic and fair. When gratitude is unevenly distributed, it can create resentment instead of belonging.Social sustainability is about building relationships that give energy rather than quietly draining it.Busy professionals may be less lonely than socially burned out. They are surrounded by interaction, but missing the kinds of connection that actually restore them.Why This Episode MattersMeaningful work depends on more than purpose or personal motivation. It is deeply shaped by the relationships around us.When people feel appreciated, treated fairly, and connected to others, work is more likely to feel energizing and worthwhile. When they feel unseen, overextended, or socially depleted, even meaningful work can become exhausting. Ryan Fehr's research helps explain why gratitude, fairness, and social sustainability belong at the center of the conversation about meaningful work.About Our GuestRyan Fehr is a Professor of Management and Michael G.

With my birthday arriving in the middle of July, I'm taking a rare step back to look at how much my life has changed.I talk about leaving behind a career writing about professional wrestling, finding my real voice through stories about Lucas and Olivia, starting over after heart surgery and divorce, and learning to stop taking responsibility for everyone else's behavior.Most of all, I share how Lucas has taught me to be myself without apologizing, trust my instincts, and keep betting on the life I'm building.It's an old-school, personal episode about boundaries, growth, unexpected dreams, and realizing that the best birthday gift I could give myself was knowing I can handle whatever comes next. It's Here! Get the book – “Hi World, I'm Dad: How Fathers Can Journey to Autism Awareness, Acceptance, and Appreciation” on audio, digital, or print.Follow Us On TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Also, be sure to read the blog that started it all - Hi Blog! I'm Dad.

Nick and Daniel debate cash flow vs. appreciation in Canada's flat 2026 market, prices 21% off peak, near-zero population growth, a $400B renewal wall, and falling rents. They start in opposite corners but land on the same truth: there is no "Canadian market" anymore. Ontario and BC are falling while seven provinces hit record highs, so the winning strategy depends entirely on which "Canada" you're buying in.

What if the money in your account is not the same thing as real wealth? That's where this conversation starts. Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Paul Musson, former professional investor, founder of the Paulitical Economy blog, and author of Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit at Your Expense. After decades inside the investment world, Paul began studying economics more deeply after seeing how the housing bubble, the financial crisis, and policy decisions reshaped the relationship between money, capital, and everyday people's ability to build wealth. They talk about the difference between money and capital, how inflation quietly erodes purchasing power, and why rising asset prices do not always mean real wealth is being created. Dr. Felecia asks the practical questions many listeners may be wondering: What does it mean when money is "devalued"? Why does a Treasury investment look safe but still lose purchasing power? Does lowering interest rates really make housing more affordable? And what does building capital look like for people who are working, saving, investing, and trying to create options? This conversation is about understanding the economy in plain language so women can ask better questions, protect their future, and build wealth that is actually real. 00:00 – Understanding Money, Wealth, and the Economy 02:58 – When Paul Realized the System Was the Problem 07:04 – Capital vs. Money 09:15 – How Money Creation Reduces Purchasing Power 12:07 – Government Spending, Consumption, and Investment 15:30 – Financial Repression and Devalued Dollars 18:17 – Why Getting the Same Dollars Back Can Still Mean Losing Value 22:00 – Be Free and Do No Harm 28:11 – How Asset Prices Transfer Wealth 35:25 – Why Lower Mortgage Rates Do Not Always Mean Affordable Housing 38:44 – When a House Becomes "the Investment" 44:08 – Paul Musson's Book " Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit at Your Expense." 49:14 – What Building Capital Looks Like for Everyday Investors 55:12 – Cash Flow vs. Appreciation in Real Estate 57:58 – Wealth Inequality and the Stock Market 59:41 – Capitalism vs. Interference With Capitalism 01:04:00 – Why People Deserve Clear Explanations   You've worked hard to build your career. Now let's build wealth that outlives it. You were born to build more than just wealth. You were born to lead, inspire, and rise. At Wealth B-Hers, we're redefining what it means to be financially fearless.

In this episode, we continue our book study on Friendship in the Lord and reflect on what it means to be truly known, deeply loved, and fully at home with another. We talk about why we must first learn to abide in the love of God, how appreciation helps others become who they were created to be, and what it looks like to grow in friendship over time. Whether friendship feels life-giving or challenging in this season of your life, we invite you to bring every desire, wound, and longing before the Lord, who first calls you His friend.    Announcement: You can buy your copy of Friendship in the Lord from Ave Maria Press (or Amazon).   Journal Questions: How is the Lord inviting me to cultivate deeper community where I live? Where in my life am I trying to love others without being in communion with God? Am I truly allowing the love of Christ to come out within a community? Am I at home with the Lord? How have I been possessive of my relationships within my community? When have I experienced belonging within community? How can I create more reverent space in my relationships to allow others to become?   Discussion Questions: How is the Lord calling you to mission? When you think about a friendship or marriage that you admire, what qualities of that relationship inspire you? Who are the people in my life that I feel at home with? How have you experienced possessiveness negatively impacting your relationships? Where do you long for a deeper sense of belonging? Which friends and relationships have played a role in helping you become who God has created you to be?   Quotes to Ponder: "The mission of joy and friendship within the Christian community is even more fundamental than the Church's mission to the poor and needy, because love and joy are the source from which all ministry to the sorrowing must flow." (Friendship in the Lord, Page 7)   "The wonderful mystery which is you is not complete until you are appreciated." (Friendship in the Lord, Page 19)   Scripture for Lectio: "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.  I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." (John 15:12-15)   Sponsor - Ascension: For the first time in more than 50 years, the Church in the United States will begin praying with a new translation of The Liturgy of the Hours starting in 2027.

News with for Sean 7-13-2026 …AI Appreciation Day is Coming Up this Thursday

Got questions? Send Ericka a Text!Dental billing can look smooth from the outside, but that “smooth” is usually one person doing a mountain of detailed, high-stakes work behind the scenes. We're sharing a quick, focused message about Dental Billers Appreciation Day and why it matters for every practice that depends on clean claims, accurate coding, and steady collections. You'll hear how a conversation with Qiana Craig (Ask the Biller) about Medical Billers Appreciation Day sent us down a research rabbit hole and revealed something surprising: dental billers didn't have a day of their own. So we created one. That story opens up a bigger theme we live by in dental office administration and practice management, if you don't see the space you need, build it. We also get real about what the job requires: deep organisation, constant follow-up, tech skills across modern billing tools, and the discipline to keep up with changing codes and systems in today's dental economy. Dental revenue cycle management doesn't run on luck, it runs on expertise. Dental Billers Appreciation Day is July 20 every year, so mark your calendar and do something meaningful for the person who helps keep your practice financially healthy. If this resonates, subscribe, share it with your team, and leave a review so more dental offices start giving billers the credit they've earned.

This week, I'm talking about something that's been on my mind for a long time.People often debate labels like "high functioning," "low functioning," and "profound autism," but I think they're missing the bigger point. My son Lucas doesn't measure his life by jobs, marriage, or fitting into society's expectations. So why do so many other people?In this episode, I explain why comments about "eradicating autism" struck such a nerve, why I was disappointed by much of the reaction that followed, and why I believe a person's value has nothing to do with how much they contribute to everyone else. Most of all, I share what Lucas has taught me about authenticity, freedom, and appreciating people for who they are instead of what they can do.It's Here! Get the book – “Hi World, I'm Dad: How Fathers Can Journey to Autism Awareness, Acceptance, and Appreciation” on audio, digital, or print.Follow Us On TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

SummaryAppreciate the Help reminds us to value and acknowledge the people who support us along life's journey. Whether it's a family member, friend, coworker, mentor, or even a stranger, many people go out of their way to help when they don't have to. The message encourages us not to take their kindness for granted, but instead to express gratitude, listen to their wisdom, and pay their generosity forward by becoming a blessing to others. Through appreciation, humility, and service, we reflect God's love and strengthen our relationships.TakeawaysAppreciate the people who help and support you.Never assume others are obligated to help you.A simple "thank you" can make a meaningful difference.Listen carefully when others share wisdom or guidance.Gratitude helps keep our hearts humble.God often works through people to answer our prayers and meet our needs.Be willing to help others just as others have helped you.Small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact on someone's life.Appreciation Matters: Recognize and value the efforts of those who invest their time, energy, and support in you.Listen More: Wisdom often comes through the people God places in our lives.Practice Gratitude: A grateful heart focuses on blessings rather than shortcomings.Pay It Forward: Use your gifts, experiences, and resources to bless others.Reflect God's Love: Helping others and showing appreciation are ways to honor God and serve His people.Don't Take People for Granted: Express your gratitude while you have the opportunity.Conclusion: The people who help us are gifts from God and should never be overlooked or taken for granted. By showing appreciation, listening with humility, and extending kindness to others, we create stronger relationships and a more compassionate world. Let us be thankful for those who have helped us and intentional about becoming a blessing to someone else. Appreciation is more than words—it is a lifestyle that reflects gratitude, love, and faith.

Send us Fan MailAre you leading every person on your team the exact same way and wondering why it's stopped working? In this episode, I sit down with Sam Shriver and Suzie Bishop of the Center for Leadership Studies, co-authors of a new book applying the situational leadership model to today's fast-changing workplace. Sam brings 45+ years of research into this framework; Suzie leads product innovation at CLS after 15 years of turning research into real-world training. Together, we unpack why one-size-fits-all leadership breaks down during constant change, how the situational leadership model gives you a repeatable way to diagnose exactly what each person needs task by task, and why trust erodes the moment you skip that step. We also dig into Gallup's engagement data and why adaptability, not just intelligence, is becoming the defining leadership skill in the AI era. If you've ever felt like you're leading in the dark, this conversation hands you the lens to lead with clarity again.Books MentionedSituational Leadership®: The Model for Leading Others, Navigating Change, and Unlocking Performance by Sam Shriver and Suzie BishopManagement of Organizational Behavior by Paul HerseyConnect with Sam Shriver and Suzie Bishop on LinkedIn, explore their work at situational.com, and pick up their new book on the situational leadership model at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or your favorite retailer.I want to invite you to check out the Committed Mastermind, a community I help lead along with world-class leaders like JC and Karen Hite, Vinnie Fisher, and Jonathan Mast, plus incredible mentors like Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages, and many others.This is for entrepreneurs who want to build a thriving business without sacrificing their faith, their family, or their health.Check out the Committed Mastermind at https://committedmastermind.com/---- Check out Dr. William Attaway's new show, The Appreciation at Work Podcast!  Join Dr. William Attaway on the Catalytic Leadership podcast as he shares transformative insights to help high-performance entrepreneurs and agency owners achieve Clear-Minded Focus, Calm Control, and Confidence.Free 30-Minute Discovery Call:Ready to elevate your business?

My son Lucas accidentally dumped an entire cup of water over my head. The surprising part wasn't the mess. It was what happened next.In this episode, I explain why raising a child with autism has completely changed the way I think about patience, discipline, and emotional regulation. Some parenting lessons happen in the moment. Others have to wait until the moment has passed. Understanding the difference has transformed not only how I parent Lucas, but how I respond to frustration in my own life.I share the story behind the "spill-proof" cup that somehow wasn't, why yelling teaches my son nothing, how staying calm helped us navigate everything from public meltdowns to everyday mishaps, and why I believe children often mirror the emotions we bring into the room.This isn't a conversation about letting bad behavior slide. It's about recognizing that every child learns differently and that sometimes the most effective lesson begins only after everyone has taken a breath.If you've ever wondered what parenting a child with autism really looks like, or if you've ever struggled to stay patient in a difficult moment, I hope this episode helps.It's Here!

Send us Fan MailYou know what good leadership looks like. The question is: what happens to it when the pressure hits?This week, I sat down with Ed Brzychcy, Army infantry veteran, former Babson College professor, and organizational culture consultant to mid-market high-growth companies. Ed spent over a decade researching what separates the CEOs of the fastest-growing companies from everyone else, and what he found wasn't what he expected.It wasn't the culture artifacts. It wasn't the perks or the values on the wall. It was how the leaders grew. And there's a specific four-stage journey every one of them walked through, including one stage that Ed says was emotionally harder than anything they faced at the beginning.If you're building a team and wondering why leadership under pressure keeps breaking down, this conversation is going to give you a clear map and the courage to take the next step on it.Books MentionedThomas Willing: The Banker Who Made America by George VagueLost Worlds by Patrick WymanConnect with Ed on LinkedIn, or visit his website at leadfromthefront.net.I want to invite you to check out the Committed Mastermind, a community I help lead along with world-class leaders like JC and Karen Hite, Vinnie Fisher, and Jonathan Mast, plus incredible mentors like Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages, and many others.This is for entrepreneurs who want to build a thriving business without sacrificing their faith, their family, or their health.Check out the Committed Mastermind at https://committedmastermind.com/---- Check out Dr. William Attaway's new show, The Appreciation at Work Podcast!  Join Dr. William Attaway on the Catalytic Leadership podcast as he shares transformative insights to help high-performance entrepreneurs and agency owners achieve Clear-Minded Focus, Calm Control, and Confidence.Free 30-Minute Discovery Call:Ready to elevate your business?

In this week's Especially for Athletes podcast, Shad Martin and Dustin Smith explore one of the foundational principles of Especially for Athletes: Seek to Be Your Best, Not the Best. Through the story of Polish sprinter Ewa Swoboda's emotional celebration after a personal record and Kobe Bryant's powerful perspective on becoming an "overachiever," they discuss why comparison steals joy and how athletes can find lasting fulfillment through growth, effort, and personal improvement. This episode is a powerful reminder that true success comes from maximizing your own potential—not from measuring yourself against everyone else.Key Takeaways1. Comparison Is the Thief of JoySocial media has made it easier than ever for athletes to compare themselves to others instead of focusing on their own growth.2. Personal Progress Deserves CelebrationAthletes should celebrate personal bests and growth, even when they don't finish first.3. Greatness Is About BecomingThe greatest athletes focus on maximizing their potential rather than protecting a reputation.4. Kobe Bryant Was an OverachieverKobe wanted to be remembered not just as talented, but as someone who maximized every gift he was given.5. Compete Against Yesterday's Version of YourselfThe healthiest comparison is comparing who you are today with who you were yesterday.6. Fill the Tank, Then Empty the TankSuccess comes from fully preparing and then giving everything you have when the opportunity arrives.7. Appreciation Matters More Than RecognitionPeople need to know they are valued for who they are and the effort they give—not just the results they produce.00:32:17 - Introduction00:33:17 - Why Comparison Is More Dangerous Than Ever00:36:17 - The Difference Between Being the Best and Being Your Best00:39:47 - The Story of Polish Sprinter Ewa Swoboda00:42:32 - Why Athletes Must Celebrate Progress00:44:17 - How to Avoid Complacency and Discouragement00:46:47 - Ralph Waldo Emerson and Learning From Others00:50:17 - Kobe Bryant's Final Interview00:53:17 - Becoming an Overachiever00:56:47 - Progress Over Outcomes00:59:17 - Coaching Athletes to Celebrate Growth01:03:17 - Appreciation vs Recognition01:07:17 - Fill the Tank, Then Empty the Tank01:09:47 - Final Thoughts01:10:17 - Eyes Up, Do the Work⸻Especially for Athletes: Website: https://e4a.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EspeciallyForAthletes/ X: https://x.com/E4Afamily Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/especiallyforathletes/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmbWc7diAvstLMfjBL-bMMQJoin the conversation using #E4APodcast⸻Credits: Hosted by Dustin SmithProduced by E4A and IMAGINATE STUDIO
