Kim Clark's leadership experience is impressive: Dean of Harvard Business School, President of Brigham Young University—Idaho, Commissioner of Church Educational System for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Kim is also the author of the book Leading Through, which he wrote with his daughter Erin and son Jonathan. Kim earned his B.A., MA, and PhD in economics from Harvard. In this episode we discuss the following: We're all leaders. And the best leaders lead in 3 ways: they help people experience meaning, purpose, and personal growth. They help the organization realize its purpose. And they strengthen the organization. Leaders always do good. They strive to increase light and decrease darkness. When Kim became Dean of Harvard Business School, he knew he had to fire a colleague who had been a kind of poison. The previous administration had been afraid to fire the colleague for fear of a lawsuit with the Union. But when Kim fired the person, the Union said, “What took you so long?”   Connect on Social Media: X: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@nate.meikle

Send us a textDevon Marrott is a Psychology Professor at Brigham Young University - Idaho. In this episode, he addresses many different topics, including human connections, friendships, human suffering, and viewing the world through a variety of lenses such as religion, science, biology, etc. Devon shares his own personal perspectives and insights, which are insightful and inspiring. Below are a few quotes from this episode. "it's hard to stay mad, angry or upset, when you are faced with the gift of a beautiful friendship"... "Be a friend to people, be a beacon of light, strive to leave this world better than you found it, be the gift of friendship in people's lives"..."Human connection is the most important thing to me in my life"..."If you feel like you were kind of dealt a sad hand of family dynamics, that need not be your destiny, you can establish other families with meaningful friendships"..."Human suffering needs to be addressed, I think it needs to be talked about"..."Things that you plan may not work out as you plan them to, but that doesn't mean you still can't find satisfaction and joy in life, you can be optimistic, hopeful, assertive, and you can be proactive instead of reactive. You don't have to be the smartest, most attractive or best looking person to find success and accomplishment in this life."   Enjoy!

Dave is a friend that I've been wanting to chat with on the podcast for quite some time. When I think of Dave the word "GRIT" comes to mind. Aside from his 9-5 as a the Director of Learning Innovation and Technology at Brigham Young University Idaho, he coaches a teen mountain bike team, works out twice a day, takes his family on epic adventures, runs a personal YouTube channel and runs the business side of his wife's YouTube Channel. The conversation was really fun and I particularly enjoyed the parts about using exercise and struggle to relate to life and the deep dive into Artificial Intelligence.

He kept better notes than anybody else. 8:50 Wilford gave about 4,000 discourses but never wrote them down. He believed to only teach by the spirit. 11:40 Missionary work and consecrated service. He joined the Church when he was 26. His first mission was Zion's Camp, soon after he got baptized. 20:50 He felt called to record everything that took place. He said that he felt like a fish out of water until he got something recorded in his journal. The Wilford Woodruff papers are very important to Church history. 21:45 The impact that the Wilford Woodruff papers has had on FamilySearch. There are about 20,000 people mentioned in his journals.

In this episode Brock, Austin, and Brian (all BYU-Idaho graduates and returned missionaries) discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly experiences they had while attending Brigham Young University-Idaho.

Jennifer Roach is a licensed mental health counselor living in American Fork, Utah. She joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints four years ago after being in the Protestant church her whole life. She currently serves as a Gospel Doctrine teacher in her ward. Jennifer is the recipient of this year's "John Taylor Defender of the Faith" award and the BH Robert's Research Grant. Her research primarily focuses on issues that arise when sexual abuse happens in churches. Jennifer does a weekly podcast for FAIR Latter-day Saints that focuses on questions that arise about our faith from Evangelicals. She also teaches as an adjunct for Brigham Young University-Idaho. Highlights 01:50 Kurt introduces Jennifer Roach and her background as a therapist for sexual abuse. 03:30 Jennifer will speak on four specific claims pertaining to the Church and sexual abuse and seven things that the Church does to go above and beyond what most churches do to help and protect youth. 7:00 Jennifer addresses some of the biggest questions that people have. One big question that people have is, “Is there more sexual abuse in our church or not?” Sometimes the media twists things to make it seem that way. 8:30 Boy Scout records data on abuse. Jennifer reviewed and researched all these cases from the past 80 years and was able to find how cases the Church of Jesus Christ has compared to other churches. Around 5.6% of the abuse cases were Latter-day Saint related. 19:10 Why doesn't the Church do background checks? Jennifer explains the three issues with background checks. The issue of delayed disclosure. Most people don't disclose the abuse they received until they're in their 50s to 70s. Background checks are not thorough. It's not a deep dive into someone's past. It only shows convicted crimes but not accusations. It only covers the past 7 years. 29:30 The danger of telling people that someone has been background checked. We believe that means this person is squeaky clean and they can be trusted. It really means that they don't have convictions and they aren't on the sex offenders list but it does not mean they are safe. 32:20 Jennifer talks about the case from the previous year. The man passed the federal background check every year despite doing horrific things to his own children and none of it was on his record. 34:20 The Church's helpline. There have been a lot of claims accusing the Church's helpline of hiding abuse but if we look deeper into the case we find most of these claims are untrue. 38:00 Why do we need a helpline? It helps leaders know what to report. Each state's laws are different. The helpline helps bishops fulfill their legal responsibilities and get the correct help for the victim. 48:00 There are standard best practices when working with youth and the Church follows all of them. They are all in the handbook. Another concern is there isn't always a window in the bishop's office. However, a youth can take a parent, leader, or friend into the bishop's office. It's in the handbook. 53:10 What is the Church doing that goes above and beyond those gold standard things in child protection? The helpline Disfellowshipping Gender specific leaders for young women The member number system Existing associations (go to church with your neighbors who know you) Being sustained Being called 1:10:50 How can we be better at detecting abuse that is currently going on? Most of the time kids disclose abuse by accident. They normally aren't going to disclose it to you directly. 1:22:50 Is there anything else we can do to help stop abuse?

Gale Pooley - Economist and Author With so much at stake in the decisions we make, especially at the global, societal, and environmental levels, it can be easy to feel like our options and our resources are ever-diminishing. We are emotional creatures, and the narratives we embrace matter. Our guest today has spent years tracking some of the most important metrics on earth–things like literacy rates, access to food, and availability of medicine. Far from being an escapist framework to deny the existence of real-world problems, our conversation today left us with the feeling that we had just visited a refueling station, and we were now ready to jump back in to keep doing the hard work. So today, we'll consider the hopeful question:   Are we actually doing better than we think we are? A conversation with economist and author Gale Pooley, on this episode of Lead With a Question.

CJ Wolf, a professor at Brigham Young University-Idaho and founder of Codermedschool.com, explains we need to embrace adult learning theory, which recognizes that adults learn differently than children. Making mistakes, for example, is particularly powerful. Good compliance training, consequently, should be less about telling them what they need to know and more about providing them with an opportunity to work through scenarios and make their errors in a safe classroom setting rather than out in the real world. He shares a host of similar good advice in this podcast and in the SCCE Creating Effective Compliance Training Workshop. Click below to hear other do's and don'ts to make your training more relevant: Do assess the effectiveness of the training. Be sure to include testing. Don't assess the effectiveness just once. See what employees remember several months later. Don't overload new employees on the first day. A lot of departments are throwing information at them.  Be judicious in terms of what you expect them to tackle right away, and what can wait until later. Do have a training plan based on your organization's risk. Don't give everyone the same training. Tailor based on their needs. Want to know more?

For the 10 and 11 hours great stuff in US News and world news Thousands of Chinese spy balloons are hovering over American universities Earth has warmed in recent decades, but trends over past 4,000 years unclear | Fact check Hundreds of Mystery Structures Found at The Heart of The Milky Way Minnesota Resident Catches Sight of Long 'Cigar' UFO Over House Unearthed Hunter Biden emails with Obama White House slammed by GOP: 'Worse than Watergate' AWARD-WINNING BLACKFOOT WRITER FEATURED IN NEW BOOK RELEASE Honored at Hollywood Award Event HOLLYWOOD - Blackfoot, Idaho writer Brittany Rainsdon was a winner in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest and was honored at the Writers and Illustrators of the Future Awards Gala in Hollywood, California on April 28th. Her story, "The Last Dying Season," is published in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 38. Brittany's story was released last year in Volume 38 but she was unable to attend the awards event due to giving birth to her 5th child. More recently, Volume 38 was awarded the Ben Franklin Award for Best Science Fiction & Fantasy this year by the Independent Book Publishers Association at their conference which was held in San Diego, California on May 5th. Brittany grew up as the only girl in a family with four brothers. She's reversing that trend with her own children—three girls and one boy. In 2009, Brittany graduated with her RN from Brigham Young University-Idaho. She received her BSN in 2010. Brittany has worked in both medical/surgical and rehabilitation specialties, but she currently enjoys work as a stay-at-home-mom. Brittany started writing at a young age, penning poems and stories, and filling an overstuffed nightstand with spiral notebooks, pens, and floppy disks (yes, those were still a thing in 2007). But after entering college, Brittany lost touch with her writing and didn't come back to it for several years. After having her third child in 2015 and needing a creative outlet, her passion for writing reignited. Once she found the Writers of the Future Contest, Brittany has not missed a quarter and has been a Writers of the Future finalist three times. She was a Published Finalist last year entering in the contest her story, “Half-Breed,” appearing in L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 37. As a winner this year, her story, "The Last Dying Season," is published in Volume 38. Brittany lives with her husband and children near the Snake River in Idaho, where she swears it looks like a wintered Narnia for nearly half the year. She has many pairs of fuzzy socks. The Contest, one of the most prestigious illustrating competitions in the world, is currently in its 40th year and is judged by some of the premier names in speculative fiction. The Writers of the Future Contest judges include, Tim Powers (author of On Stranger Tides), Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert (Dune prequel series), Robert J. Sawyer (Quantum Night), Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn series, The Stormlight Archive), Larry Niven (Ringworld), Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game), Nnedi Okorafor (Who Fears Death), David Farland (Runelords), and Katherine Kurtz (Deryni series) to name a few. The Illustrators of the Future Contest judges include, Bob Eggleton (11 Chesley Awards and 7 Hugo Awards), Larry Elmore (Dungeons & Dragons book covers), Echo Chernik (graphic designs for major corporations including Celestial Seasonings tea packaging), Rob Prior (art for Spawn, Heavy Metal comics and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Ciruelo (Eragon Coloring Book). Following the 1982 release of his internationally acclaimed bestselling science fiction novel, Battlefield Earth, written in celebration of 50 years as a professional writer, L. Ron Hubbard created the Writers of the Future (writersofthefuture.com) in 1983 to provide a means for aspiring writers of speculative fiction to get that much-needed break. Due to the success of the Writers of the Future Contest, the companion Illustrators of the Future Contest was inaugurated five years later. In the 39 years of the Writers of the Future Contest, there have been 547 winners and published finalists. The past winners of the Writing Contest have published 2,000 novels and nearly 6,300 short stories. They have produced 36 New York Times bestsellers, and their works have sold over 60 million copies. In the 34 years of the Illustrators of the Future Contest, there have been 394 winners. The past winners of the Illustrating Contest have produced over 6,800 illustrations, 390 comic books, graced 700 books and albums with their art, and visually contributed to 68 television shows and 40 major movies. royalties.

In his first term as California's governor, Jerry Brown famously said back in 1975, “There is no free lunch. This is an era of limits and we all had better get used to it. Small is beautiful.” Was Brown right? These days, it seems that establishment thinking and most of the content on mainstream media believes it is so. Threats from climate change, overpopulation, and environmental degradation, we are told, now force us to reduce consumption and limit growth in order to save the planet and ourselves. Wesley's guest in this edition of Humanize takes a radically different and far more optimistic view. Gale L. Pooley has co-authored a book entitled Super Abundance in which he and co-author Marian L. Tupy argue that contrary to the roaring pessimism about the human future so often espoused these days, our earthly resources are actually unlimited and indeed, that population increases and innovation are the keys to growing our prosperity and extending our freedoms. Gale L. Pooley is an associate professor of business management at Brigham Young University-Hawaii. He has taught economics and statistics at AL Faisal University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Brigham Young University-Idaho, Boise State University, and the College of Idaho. Dr. Pooley earned his BBA in Economics at Boise State University and completed his PhD at the University of Idaho. He has published articles in National Review, Human Progress, The American Spectator, the Utah Bar Journal, the Appraisal Journal, Quillette, and RealClearMarkets.  Dr. Pooley is a Senior Fellow with the Discovery Institute's Center on Wealth and Poverty and serves on the board of HumanProgress.org. He also serves on the Foundation for Economic Education Faculty Network and is a Scholar with Hawaii’s Grassroot Institute. His major research activity has been the Simon Abundance Index, which he co-authored with Dr. Marian Tupy.

Our guest is an American scholar, educator, and religious leader who has been a general authority of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since April 2015 and was the church's seventeenth Commissioner of Church Education from 2015 to 2019. He served previously as the 15th president of Brigham Young University–Idaho from 2005 to 2015 and as the Harvard Business School (HBS) dean from 1995 to 2005. He was also the George F. Baker Professor of Business Administration. He published an important series of studies on technological innovation with various co-authors. The organisational linkages, or integration, required to accomplish innovation is a thread that runs through these studies. These insights culminated in his book with Carliss Baldwin, “Design Rules: The Power of Modularity,” which explores the rules for integrating components that shaped innovation in the computer industry and many others. He studied economics with Clay Christensen in the Fall of 1970 and became his dissertation advisor years later alongside Joe Bower. Kim Bryce Clark is with us to celebrate the life and theories of his friend Clayton Christensen and, indeed, share some of his theories.

I am currently the co-founder of Robyn Laurél Haircare Products, a Certified Cosmetologist Educator, 8 years as a salon owner, and 6 years as an educator.  I love doing hair just as much as I love teaching, so merging the two passions was definitely a no brainer.  The goal is to bring unity to a diversified beauty industry.    Angelica's Mission My mission is to help you run your business and not let it run you.  Step into a CEO entrepreneurial game, and create the FINANCIAL FREEDOM for yourself. I am dedicated to to helping people get off the struggle bus and build an established business, restructure how they charge for services, build a system of continuous cash flow, work less and increase their income by following my developed blueprint through my signature program Charge Your Worth Academy. I know the struggle of building a successful business behind the chair and it could be lonely but I have built my successful business from the ground up with community!  No more doing business alone.    "TOGETHER WE CAN ACHIEVE SO MUCH MORE"!!   Marisa Lonic is a keynote speaker, life & business coach, 3x author, top-rated podcast host and the founder of Mama Work It.  After spending nearly 15 years in corporate leadership positions, Marisa shifted gears to become a full-time Time Momager & Biz Momager.

Your Self- Love Sage. I used to fall in love with toxic men, have weak boundaries, and battle sugar and food addiction. I struggled with crippling anxiety, loneliness, feeling misunderstood, and constant guilt and shame. I was emotionally paralyzed and couldn't focus on living my purpose. The answer to my prayers was releasing my Southern Baptist roots and embracing Spirituality, which literally saved my life by teaching me how to heal myself.   Years later I have rebuilt my identity and learned to deeply love, accept, and connect with myself.   My core teachings are re-building confidence, understanding and processing emotions, and reaching your highest potential with the time we've got on Earth.   I use my spiritual gifts of Reiki energy healing, clairsentience and claircognizance to support your breakthroughs. As an empath and highly-sensitive person I hear and feel the things you don't say to get you to a solution that feels good to your soul.   Megan Moran is a Mompreneur on a mission to live a Present + Productive Life.

I am Beth.   I am an expert at working with the subconscious mind. I teach women how to release unprocessed emotions and reparent memories that are holding them back from their desire to live their best life in regards to their marriage, wealth and well-being. I am a Certified Hypnotist, Teacher of Psychology & Marriage Coach. I have appeared in major media publications such as MacClean's Magazine, CTV, the London Free Press and has been a guest on dozens of podcasts & blogs. I have spent many years studying the Law of Attraction, Law of Vibration, the conscious and subconscious mind, along with Neuroscience, Epigenetics, EFT (emotional freedom technique), and Energetics of Human Beings.   We have the power to change our brain. I took a deep dive into neuroscience when I experienced a brain bleed. The plasticity of the brain is why I can walk and write again. Through reinforcement of tasks and thoughts, I created new neural pathways. This same theory that works with the plasticity of the brain is the foundation of the Soulify Method, which has helped many women make incredible transformations within their relationships, wealth and well-being. I teach women how to become aligned and connected with their true self.   Once in alignment, they learn how to 100% trust their inner knowing, release old beliefs and stuck emotions. When the ingrained beliefs and unwanted emotions are out of the way, they instinctually take action and make decisions based on their intuition without fear and doubt. The result- they 100% manifest the relationships, wealth and well-being that they have always wanted into their lives. It was unbelievable! Literally, they create the life they dreamed of. It feels like magic (but it is rooted in science). Their desires start coming effortlessly, with such ease and flow once the blocks are out of the way.   And here I am ready to give you the powerful and profound tools to 100% shift your life & bring your wildest dreams to reality using the POWER of hypno-journeying.

It's all about conscious living making the decision of what you want your relationship to look and feel like down the road. It's so easy to get wrapped up in parenthood and forget who you are, today we talk about how to avoid that and find the balance in parenting.   Who Is Miranda Clark: I am a mental health therapist, working primarily with couples.  My favorite couples are those who are new/expectant parents and navigating the relationship changes that occur once a baby is brought home.  I am a Bringing Baby Home, and 7 Principles educator from the Gottman institute and have been in private practice in the state of Oregon for over 10 years.  I live with my husband of almost 17 years, and together have two daughters aged 8 and 5. When I'm not working, I'm carting kiddos to and from soccer while also squeezing in as many camping trips as possible :)   In this episode we are talking about maternal therapy and it's importance not just for you but for your entire family because when mom is happy, everyone is happy. Motherhood does not mean sacrifice, it means embracing your new meaning of a caregiver, a love giver and a joy giver. It all starts with you and you are your priority.   About Kate Kripke:   Motherhood is one of the most profound human experiences—miraculous and life-changing. It gives some a renewed sense of purpose while leaving others feeling anxious and confused. As a mom, I've experienced both.    I've dedicated my life's work to helping women navigate the challenges that motherhood invariably brings. I coach mothers of all ages across the continuum of circumstances and stages of motherhood. I use my personal experience for perspective and my extensive training and real world practice to help mothers establish and maintain habits in self care that result in happy, healthy families.  My approach is solution focused, positive, and geared at helping you to uncover the deep knowledge and wisdom that you already possess.    I believe that every individual is his, her or their own expert. My work is centred around empowering women to tap into their inner expertise so they can thrive. We know through decades of research that healthy relationships and attachments with children starts with healthy parents. And that children in healthy attachments with their parents are more likely to thrive themselves.   Kristi Nellor is a reinvention strategist, empowerment and mindset coach, artist, maker, designer, and creativity catalyst for companies, teams and individuals looking to transform their impact, messaging, mindsets, and lives.

In this episode, you will hear how Emily Rushton grew her recruitment agency from start-up to $1M in profit in its first year and is on track to reach $3M profit in its second year! What's her secret? There's a clue in her company's name - the keyword here is “integrated.” Emily is the Founder and CEO of Hire Integrated, a fast-growing recruiting agency based in Utah. They launched in January 2021 and in less than two years have scaled to a team of 20 employees. In this fun and informative conversation, Emily shared how specialized recruiting at scale and client integration were key to their success. She also shared how their proactive approach and continuous evolution give them a positive outlook despite challenging market conditions. Emily started her career in staffing at Robert Half where she ranked among the top 20 recruiters out of 11,000 employees. Since then she has built two other boutique firms and also recruited for Netflix, where she helped them write their now industry-leading playbook with best-in-class practices to help them find and hire new talent. Episode Outline and Highlights [04:33] “I didn't even know what a recruiter was” … How a willingness to cold call helped Emily land her first job at a recruitment agency. [09:20] How to excel during an economic downturn; the key mindset shift that enabled Emily becoming a top-producer during a recession. [12:53] Client Integration – what it means and why it's important. [16:50] Helping companies hire better: specialized hiring at scale. [20:14 Staring a recruitment business - how Emily won her first 3-4 clients. [23:30] Key milestones: hitting $1m in revenue by Q3, $1m in profit in 12 months and on track for $3m profit in year two.  [30:22] What industries does Hire Integrated specialize in?  [35:51] Service lines offered by Hire Integrated. [45:51] Emily's playbook for strategically developing client relationships. [52:52] How to build an account from a single point of contact to gaining access to multiple senior stakeholders. [55:27] The Hire Integrated approach - how to integrate successfully with client companies. [1:01:30] Emily's growth plans for 2023. Consistent Tenacity in Early Days Emily shared a fascinating story of how she got into recruiting - she had no idea what she wanted to be when she was about to graduate. Following her professor's advice, she started cold-calling companies to present her skillset in looking for a job. She was at a job fair and she shared what she was doing with a recruiter, which led to her discovering the career of recruitment.  From there, Emily started her career in staffing at Robert Half, where she ranked among the top 20 recruiters out of 11,000 employees. Interestingly, she started her career during the recession. Having an awareness that she could lose her job, she was determined that if it will happen, she will have no regrets knowing that she went all out.  “There was this level of tenacity that came out early on in my career. In every single opportunity I had, I didn't lose it. I held on to everything so tight and I made sure that I closed it. During that first recession that I ever worked, I made the most money in my career, I was a top performer.” This mindset of tenacity laid the foundation for Emily's career as a recruiter and ultimately led to her starting her own recruitment firm in 2021. Getting USD 1M in Profit in Their First Year When Emily made the decision to launch her own business, with her own money, she was committed to going “all in” to making it work.  Incredibly, Hire Integrated reached $1M in profit by the end of their first year.  Emily outlines the two critical things she ensured to have in place when starting Hire Integrated: Focusing on building the brand. Putting together an advisory board with thought leaders she can trust. They did not have any business during the first couple of months. Emily really focused on these two items making sure that the foundation is the first time right. In Q3, they were able to hit the USD 1M revenue. With the current market conditions, Emily still shows the same relentless tenacity as it was in the early days of her career. “With the current market conditions, we are proactively making some shifts to make sure that if we continue to shift, we are prepared to have our best years. Because we are so new, we have a lot of runways ahead of us.” Client Integration and Engagement   One key success factor in Hire Integration's successful trajectory is how they ensure that they understand their clients - offering the best long-term solutions possible. As Emily explains, “As we are putting together these proposals or having these conversations as they go higher and higher in the chain of command… it is hitting on the relevant pain points… We have been successful for a handful of those companies for making it up to chains of command and getting those proposals because we've listened, we've been more than a recruiter, we understand the evolution to where they are headed, and we put together very appropriate proposals that are going to help them get to where they are going faster.”   Many recruiters find it challenging to engage with the C-Suite, especially if they're currently dealing with in-house recruiters or mid level hiring managers. Emily shared her strategies and approach to how she reaches the senior stakeholders to present much higher value recruitment solutions.  Our Sponsors This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro and Recruitment Entrepreneur. i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

Topics include: - Respecting Our Spouse's Agency- Humility, Communication, and a Willingness to Change- Adjusting Our Perception of the Doctrine of Marriage and Sealing- Recognizing Personal Idols- Sacrifice and Letting the Lord into Your MarriageMckay Farner is originally from Colorado. He and Meghan dated in high school previous to his serving a mission in Bacolod Philippines.

Highlights 07:15 Culture and rules are not doctrinal 09:20 Keyholder applications are different from personal applications 11:00 Elder Bednar's concept of applications: Doctrines are statements. Principles are embedded in the doctrines and tell us what we should do. They never change. Applications change. 14:50 Keyholder applications hold true when the keyholder is saying them and would apply to those who are within their responsibility, and they do not extend beyond 18:10 Cultural norms are applications that have extended beyond their boundaries 19:00 How you view these cultural norms depends on your personal moral theory. The most common are: Consequential theorist: consequences Obligation theorist: rules Divine theorist: what God has said Egoist: personal priorities 25:00 The best leadership should be able to move between these theories 27:30 When you understand these moral frameworks, how different people respond to the culture makes more sense. Cognitive development also applies. 30:30 Jason's experience considering the story of Noah 34:30 It's important to be open and talk about things, even if you don't have the answers 36:30 Stephen R. Covey: Listen with the intent to understand, not to answer 39:30 Pornography, brain addiction science, and the bladder comparison. Identify the justifications.

Examples that happen in a YSA ward. 53:20 Egoism: put the mask on first 55:30 When you are working with a leader who is coming from a different moral framework there will be friction and it requires greater empathy. We have to learn to step into different quadrants and embrace the differences of opinion 58:45 A mission is not a saving ordinance. The temple is the culminating event with the saving ordinances and that is where the focus needs to be. 1:00:10 Jason's motorcycle example compared to technology use: youth do not have the ability to utilize their agency, so they need stages of responsibility Links Read the TRANSCRIPT of this podcast Listen on YouTube Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library The Leading Saints Podcast has ranked in the top 20 Christianity podcasts in iTunes, gets over 500,000 listens each month, and has over 10 million total downloads as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help latter-day saints be better prepared to lead.

Is it true that the world's rapidly growing population is consuming the planet's natural resources at an alarming rate that would require two Earths to satisfy the demand for natural resources by 2030? Marian Tupy and Gale Pooley found that resources became more abundant as the population grew. They also found that resource abundance increased faster than the population. On average, every additional human being created more value than he or she consumed. Shermer, Tupy, and Pooley discuss: why we long for the “good ol' days” • Malthusian trap • Ehrlich's predictions on overpopulation • the birth dearth • the Simon Abundance Index • compound interest • What does it mean for the economy to grow 2–3% a year? • accumulating wealth • what poorer countries need to do to become richer countries • running out of fossil fuels • Obama's “you didn't build that” speech • inflation • electric vehicles • How many people can the Earth sustain? • post-scarcity trekonomics • the future of religion and other social institutions in a superabundant world. Marian Tupy is the editor of HumanProgress.org, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute's Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, and coauthor of the Simon Abundance Index. He specializes in globalization and global well-being and the politics and economics of Europe and Southern Africa. He is the coauthor of Ten Global Trends Every Smart Person Should Know: And Many Others You Will Find Interesting (Cato Institute, 2020). His articles have been published in the Financial Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Newsweek, the UK Spectator, Foreign Policy, and various other outlets in the United States and overseas. He has appeared on BBC, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, Fox News, Fox Business, and other channels. Tupy received his BA in international relations and classics from the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, and his PhD in international relations from the University of St. Andrews in Great Britain. Gale Pooley is an associate professor of business management at Brigham Young University-Hawaii. He has taught economics and statistics at Alfaisal Univerity in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Brigham Young University-Idaho; Boise State University; and the College of Idaho. Pooley has held professional designations from the Appraisal Institute, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, and the CCIM Institute. He has published articles in National Review, HumanProgress.org, The American Spectator, the Foundation for Economic Education, the Utah Bar Journal, the Appraisal Journal, Quillette, Forbes, and RealClearMarkets. His major research activity has been the Simon Abundance Index, which he coauthored with Marian Tupy.
