This week, I have the pleasure of speaking with Aggie Johnson, founder and owner of WillKate, a family enterprise consultancy firm serving the full scope of issues and challenges that families of wealth face. A G3 enterprise family member herself, Aggie knows first-hand what it takes to create and sustain a thriving family and family enterprise. Aggie shares her definition of a family enterprise and the unique challenges and opportunities enterprise families face. She describes how the complex needs of enterprise families necessitate a broader view of wealth and a multidisciplinary approach to advising and coaching their family members. She then introduces the “6-element focus,” a framework of wealth she uses in her practice with UHNW clients and explains how this multifaceted definition of wealth can help clients cultivate and strengthen their various types of family capital. One practical approach Aggie deploys with her clients is to help them discover and focus on, what she refers to, as their “central purpose.” Aggie unpacks the meaning of this concept and how families can use it to become stronger and attain their strategic goals. Another practice Aggie recommends is for family members and leaders to use introspection and working on yourself as a path to achieving greater unity, communicating and relating better, and overcoming the challenges of difficult and emotional family situations and transitions. She delves into the practical aspects of this approach, its importance, and practical applications. Please enjoy this insightful conversation with one of the highly experienced and credentialed family practitioners within the FOX community, who generously shares the lessons of her own experience as a rising gen leader of her family enterprise.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Altruism as a central purpose, published by Joey on April 7, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Effective altruism has been described as many things; a question, an ideology, a project, an obligation, a passion. However, none of these definitions have ever really felt right to me. After some thought I have decided that the descriptor that best fits the role altruism plays in my life, is that of a central purpose. A purpose can be a philosophy and a way of living. A central purpose transcends a passion; even considering how intense and transformative a passion can be. It carries a far deeper significance in one's life. When I describe EA as my purpose, it suggests that it is something that my life is built around; a fundamental and constitutive value. Of course, effective altruism fits into people's lives in different ways and to different extents. For many EAs, an existing descriptor adequately captures their perspective. But there are many subgroups in EA for whom I think it has been helpful to have a more focused discussion on the role EA plays for them. I would imagine that a space within EA for purpose-driven EAs could be particularly useful for this subset, while of little interest to the broader community. So what do I mean by purpose-driven effective altruism? Firstly, I think it considerably stands apart from the idea of excited altruism. Although most people are excited about things they find to be purposeful and meaningful; a purpose can sustain aspiration and motivation even in the absence of the emotion of excitement, or even personal interest. People's lives revolve around many different purposes. Some people's purpose might be to build their family, their knowledge, or their company. For some people their central purpose is to make a difference in the world. A person's purpose is the reason they get up in the morning and the biggest factor when making a decision. This framing of purpose based effective altruism can be useful in a number of ways. But it's important to note, I don't think you have to make effective altruism your purpose in order to make a difference in the world, or to join the movement. There is quite a difference between someone who occasionally paints or even who loves to paint; and someone whose purpose is to paint. Nonetheless, all of these people can join a painting group. If altruism is your central purpose, it leads to different choices than if it's a passion. Identifying in this way can also give people a much better sense of why someone is doing the things they are doing. Sacrificing a personal goal would be a large ask for even the most passionate person, but trivial in the context of a central purpose. Someone might stop working on their passion if it's no longer fun, but few would give up so easily on something they see as their purpose. Switching countries or lifestyles might seem extreme for a passion but can easily happen for a purpose. I also think the ‘purpose' description is more fitting for a large group of EAs who are often described as “obligation based altruists”. Obligation has fairly negative connotations and does not really convey the full experience for people who are highly focused on EA. On the other hand, having a purpose is quite a positive thing. Leading a meaningful life with a clear purpose improves mental health, self-worth, and self-confidence. Finding your purpose is often seen as a goal and can lead to significant happiness. Ultimately, having a purpose is seen as a good thing and having an obligation is seen as a bad thing. As touched on above, I do not think this label is the only way to be an EA. You can be in the EA movement as an excited altruist, or view EA as more of a question, project, or ideology. I see these definitions as complementary, bringing more nuance to the question of what makes...

The central role of government and therefore the political process is to uphold justice, advocate for the poor, provide security, and establish order. King David gives the clearest statements about the blessings of good government and therefore helps steer a course toward God-honoring political involvement. I will call it the Goldilocks approach to political activism.Scriptures Referenced: 2 Samuel 23:2-7Psalm 72:1-5

For the final episode of this season on The DiscipleMakers Podcast, we talked with a special guest, Byron Borger, about what it practically means for us to live as though Jesus is Lord in all areas of life. We particularly focused on what this means for college students when it comes to their studies, majors , and future carriers.We were blown away by Byron’s passion and excitement for this topic and walked away from our conversation with full hearts and minds. We hope you have a similar experience as you listen and soak up the wisdom he has to share. He paints a beautiful picture of what it looks like to not just be a Christian that studies a specific topic or has a specific carrier, but what it looks like to fully integrate and intertwine our fields of study with our faith in Jesus and use that as a launching pad to reverse the curse of the fall, build God’s kingdom, and share the Gospel. -- Resources from this episode: Check out Byron's Bookstore "Hearts and Minds" Books mentioned in the episodeThe Call: Finding and Fulfilling the Central Purpose of Your Life by Os GuinnessLearning for the Love of God: A Student's Guide To Academic Faithfulness by Donald Opitz & Derek MellebyThink: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God by John PiperYour Mind's Mission by Greg Jao--- Our theme music is:bedtime after a coffee by Barradeen | https://soundcloud.com/barradeenMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US

The 4 Key Questions that Will Unlock Your Destiny This week’s Thriving on Purpose Podcast Episode is going to be about this most important question: How to Find Your Purpose. Of course, with a name like Thriving on Purpose, this was not only inevitable but also necessary for us to address. Many, many entrepreneurs, even many of whom are very successful often ask this very question… How do I find my purpose?Sometimes, it shocks us. Why? Because the question may come from those who seem to have it all together. We don’t usually hear this question from the aimless and jobless, but rather from those who are already very successful in one lane or another; hence the importance it has for serious entrepreneurs. As we will explore together, there are four simple questions you can ask yourself that have the potential to lead you into your destiny. These questions (or steps if you prefer) have been talked about, written about, even philosophized about. The greatest thought-leaders on the planet have addressed how to find your purpose time and again; and these four questions are almost always at the center of the discussion. Those who dared to ask themselves those questions, and answered them honestly, are those who are Thriving on Purpose. It is our hope that you will do the same after this important episode. Remember, you can only reach the T.O.P. of the mountain God has set before you if you are Thriving on Purpose! In this Episode You Will: Learn what your purpose isn't, as we debunk some myths concerning Christians and Purpose. Understand the crucial difference between your skills and your gifts. Learn how to find your 'Sweet Spot'. Ask yourself Four Key Questions that will unlock your destiny!

Today we’re joined by Os Guinness, a well-known Christian scholar and social philosopher, and descendant of Arthur Guinness, the Dublin brewer. Os was born in China in 1941, the son of medical missionaries. While there his family lived through a period of great turbulence and famine during which two of his brothers died and the Chinese revolution reached its climax. He returned to England at age nine while his parents remained under house arrest in China, and went on to study at the Universities of London and Oxford. Os has written extensively about religious faith and its role in society, having authored over 25 books, and has served in a number of roles including Guest Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center and a Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution. Os joins us to talk about higher calling and the current state of Christianity in America.
