We have two very complementary episodes this week on Transit Unplugged. We start off with Alex Esposito, Co-founder and CEO of Circuit, who took a passion for solving traffic problems and turned it into a business. In our leadership segment Paul talks with Marinma Dorado, Founder and Passion Catalyst of Mindset Results, about connecting the things you're passionate about with your work. On demand transit is an innovation born out of a simple premise: just because it isn't cost-effective to run a 40 foot bus somewhere, doesn't mean those people don't need transit. On demand transit can fill the first mile-last mile gaps and provide service where buses--even small ones--don't make practical sense. Circuit's approach to on demand transit is focusing on short trips. Trips just long enough someone might drive their car, but too short for a bus. Partnering with cities and businesses Circuit provides free or low cost on demand, shared transit to get cars off the road, people where they need to go, and fill buses with people. Interestingly, and a direct connection to our second guest, this passion project was born from Alex and his friend looking for a better parking solution around their hometown on Long Island. In our leadership segment, Marinma Dorado talks about one of the most critical parts of managing your life and career--making sure you focus on doing what you love. A lot of us can do things, and do them well, but they also tend to pull us away from the things we love. And according to Marinma and her own experience, focusing on the things you're passionate about, the things you love to do, makes you more successful in the long run. Also on the show, Elea Carey talks about what transit agencies should think about when picking which community events to attend. Coming up next week we have a very special interview with Renée Amilcar, GM of OC Transpo in Ottawa, ON and the new president of UITP. Renée is the first woman, and first North American, to hold the office. Paul recorded the interview with her while at the UTIP Global Summit the day before she took office. Her passion for transit and global cooperation cross-agencies and cross continents should make her two-year term very exciting!

In this week's episode, I talk with Pariss Chandler.  Pariss has had a couple of careers but then last summer she found how all her previous experiences naturally came together as the country found itself again discussing racial inequality.   After a career in acting, writing, video production, make-up and waxing she was trying to figure out what was next.  She looked to the corporate world, first in marketing and then in tech.  But as she worked at some amazing organizations, she realized she often did not see people that looked like her and she felt the impact of unconscious bias, microagressions and the sense of not belonging on a non-diverse team.  So she started to ask “what does black in tech look like” and that opened the waterfall of conversation that led her to start her own recruiting agency for black tech talent.  She doesn't just help place amazing tech talent, but she works with organizations to make sure “inclusion” is part of their strategy (not just diversity) and that the new hires are set up for success.More about Pariss Chandler...Pariss Chandler is a former aesthetician turned front-end developer. She transitioned into tech in 2017 after participating in Resilient Coders, a coding bootcamp for people of color.  Pariss is the founder & CEO of Black Tech Pipeline, a platform bringing exposure, resources, and opportunities to Black Technologists.   She is also the creator of the movement and community #BlackTechTwitter, a global movement that brought exposure to the existing Black community in tech. “What ‘pipeline problem'?”How to connect with Pariss...Website - https://blacktechpipeline.comLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/pariss-chandler/In this episode you'll specifically learn...The importance of trying something new and figuring it out from there (but you have to try first!)How to talk to companies, as a candidate, about their diversity and inclusion strategies and how they support their team members in their careersHow to take a hobby, a mission you care about, anything from your personal life and turn it into a careerI'm Karen Weeks, the Founder & Principal Coach at KDW Coaching, the host of the Shine at Work podcast, a speaker, published author, Girls in Tech NYC board member and award winning culture leader (currently leading the People team at Ordergroove).

By meeting regularly with equally driven leaders, individuals can accelerate their leadership development and crush their personal and professional goals.  By the way, we organize education masterminds, but seats are limited.   Show Some Love BECOME A PATRON OF THE SHOW FOR AS LITTLE AS $1/MONTH DID YOU LIKE THE SHOW?  iTunes SUBSCRIBE HERE!

A lot of us Creative Warriors have lots of passion but no initiative. We have a dream and a talent, but we often don't know where to put our energy. We can't tell the difference between passing fancies and things that are worth doing. Fear can also hold us back from putting all of our energy into something because we're scared that we'll get stuck on the wrong path. If taking the first step to allow opportunity to unfold is difficult, know that baby steps are a great way to start. It's like a pianist doing scales or a basketball player practicing their shots. You have to start with the basics and do them over and over to build up to your big dream. In his book Initiative, Joshua Spodek gives us concrete exercises, like the pianist's scales, that we can do that develop passions and take initiative. To expose us to some of these initiative exercises, I've brought Joshua onto the podcast. Joshua Spodek, PhD, MBA, TEDx speaker, wrote the #1 bestselling Leadership Step by Step, hosts the award-winning Leadership and the Environment podcast, is a professor at NYU, writes a column for Inc., and blogs daily at joshuaspodek.com. He holds five Ivy League degrees, including a PhD in astrophysics and an MBA from Columbia, where he studied under a Nobel Laureate. He left academia to found a venture to market an invention that showed animated images to subway riders between stations.

THE CURIOSITY WARRIOR   “You can't just pick up a basketball and think you're Lebron James.” - Joshua Spodek Highlights - Passion is an intense emotion. Initiative is to act on something. Ideally, you take initiative on a passion. Practice the basics. When you combine passion and initiative, hard work is fun. The way to get past emotional barriers is with baby steps. IAP: The “Initiative, Action, Passion” cycle. 5 Unsolved Problems Exercise: write down 5 Unsolved Problems (big or small) and write down a solution for each. Ask for advice rather than judgment. People will then root for you to succeed because they feel they are part of the solution.

Leadership and the EnvironmentIs a conversation about climate change and the environment relevant to you and I as leaders… or is it just the flavour of the day?Environmental issues are part of the everyday news cycle. But here’s the big question: If we think above and beyond either side of the discussion (and the environment being used a political catapult), are these issues relevant to us as leaders of industries? And if so, why are they relevant? Well stay tuned because we are about to take a dive into this controversial subject. Our guest on this episode is Joshua Spodek. He’s the bestselling author of Leadership Step by Step, and his resume is far beyond impressive!Joshua is an Adjunct Professor at NYU, leadership coach and workshop leader for Columbia Business School, columnist for Inc., and founder of Spodek Academy. He has led seminars in leadership, entrepreneurship, creativity, and sales at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, the New York Academy of Science, and in private corporations. He co-founded and led (as CEO or COO) several ventures, and holds six patents. He also holds five (5) Ivy League degrees, and he studied under a Nobel Laureate. He’s visited North Korea twice, swam across the Hudson River, and has even done burpees daily since 2011 -- 130,000 and counting. Due to his commitment to being a leader, he takes 16 months to produce one load of garbage, and in the age of easy access he (by choice) hasn’t flown since March 2016.He's the man Esquire’s Genius issue called “best and brightest”, and NBC said he’s an “astrophysicist turned new media whiz”. So let's welcome author of Initiative: Bring Your Passions to Life!, returning champion Joshua Spodek.On this episode, we go FullMonty on:Why we need to focus on initiative rather than entrepreneurshipWhy leadership is NOT about telling people what to do, pushing legislation without popular support, or spreading facts, figures, doom, and gloomWhy we must learn to lead AND practice initiativeUsing your lack of integrity to become an outstanding leaderWhy you being a genuinely happy leader is so important to loyalty Why it's all about the "little things" And so much more...To find out more about Joshua: www.joshuaspodek.comTo find out more about hiring Dov Baron as a speaker or strategist for your organization: http://fullmontyleadership.com/consulting or http://fullmontyleadership.com/speakingRemember you can now also find us on iTunes, Spotify, iHeart Radio, or wherever you tune into podcasts.Listen in on traditional radio stations across the US every Monday and Thursday on: 99.5 FM & 1520 AM Las Vegas102.1 FM & 1640 AM Lancaster, Philadelphia87.9 FM & 810 AM Macon, Gorgia 92.1 FM & 1630 AM Tampa, Florida97.7 The Villages, Florida96.3 FM Boulder ,Colorado90.3 FM Milwaukee, Wisconsin 94.7 FM Pittsburg, Philadelphia87.9 FM Colorado Springs, ColoradoAnd NOW LIVE!

This is a podcast about leadership. Initiative is a major part of leadership. If you want to lead environmentally, you need to initiate because the world is likely going in an opposite direction than you want.More fundamental to knowing the parts of leadership is how to learn to do them. You can't lecture or coerce someone to learn to take initiative or to initiate, but lecture and coercion are the main ways our educational system teaches.My next book, Initiative: A Proven Method to Bring Your Passions to Life (and Work), launches in a couple weeks.I wrote it based on my course, where students consistently learned to unearth passions and initiate projects that help others so much they reward them for it, telling me they didn't know they could learn such things, especially in school.On The Leadership Update Brief, host Ed Brzychcy asked perfect questions to give an overview of Initiative. In today's post, I edited just the relevant answers to give that overview.Here's the full conversation. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
