Come Back to Love® Radio: Awakening to Oneness In this heart-opening conversation, I sit down with Lisa Carrillo to explore the profound shifts that come with spiritual awakening. Lisa shares her personal journey of remembering who she truly is and realizing a deeper truth—that we are not separate from one another, but intrinsically connected through one divine essence. Together, we reflect on what it means to live from that awareness, how it changes the way we relate to ourselves and the world, and how love becomes the guiding force when we remember there is only one Truth. This episode is a beautiful invitation to come back to love, to unity, and to the sacred knowing that we are all part of something greater—together. BIO: In 2009, Lisa Carillo was at a silent retreat and lost all thoughts that create the sense of a separate self. She saw everything as a single benevolent unfolding. A few weeks later when those thoughts returned, they didn't seem so credible. Instead, she found herself curious to understand their illusory nature and developed tools to unravel apparent suffering. She's written two books, “An Unprincipled Life: Living From the Unknown” and “Living Awake: 20 Techniques to End ‘I Got It; I Lost It.'” With an M.S. in Chemical Engineering, an MBA, as well as graduate studies in psychology, she takes a practical and heartfelt approach to freeing us to experience our Infinite Being.

Today we had the distinct pleasure of hosting Mark Lashier, Chairman and CEO of Phillips 66. Mark joined Phillips 66 as President and COO in 2021 and assumed the CEO role in July 2022. Prior to that, he served as the President and CEO of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company (CPChem), where he held several senior leadership roles, including Executive Vice President of Olefins and Polyolefins, Senior Vice President of Specialties, Aromatics and Styrenics, and Vice President of Corporate Planning and Development. Mark began his career at Phillips Petroleum and holds a doctorate in Chemical Engineering. Beyond his leadership at Phillips 66, he serves on the Executive Committee of the American Petroleum Institute and is a Board Member of the Greater Houston Partnership and several other nonprofit organizations. Mike, Arjun and I were thrilled to host Mark for this Special Edition to discuss Phillips 66's recent performance, his strategic vision for the company, insights into today's energy landscape, and the ongoing debate with Elliott Management. In our discussion, Mark shares background on his career and transition to CEO, his early priority of addressing improvements in Phillip 66's refining segment, and the cultural transformation to re-instill pride and competitiveness amongst refiners, which involved engaging employees at all levels and investing in strategic capital projects to fix operational bottlenecks and improve reliability and earnings. We discuss Bob Pease's addition to the board, who was originally nominated through Elliott's engagement, and how he shifted from being skeptical to supportive of the company's strategy, execution, and focus on shareholder returns. We explore the history and structure of CPChem, the benefits of Phillips 66's integrated business model during times of volatility and potential downturns, and the company's industry-leading safety performance, which ties safety directly to employee compensation. Mark shares his perspective on why maintaining a diversified portfolio across refining, midstream, and chemicals is strategically and financially advantageous, as well as the optimization and regulatory advantages of an integrated structure. We touch on Phillips 66's strong ROCE versus peers, activist pressure to sell midstream assets for a higher multiple, growth across their midstream business, and broader global trends toward integration rather than asset breakups. Mark highlights the company's refining performance improvement, the rationale behind merging PSXP and DCP assets, efforts to attract generalist investors back to the energy sector by demonstrating consistent earnings, Phillips 66's philosophy of keeping assets “for sale every day” to ensure focus on shareholder value, and much more. We greatly appreciate Mark for sharing his candid insights into a complex and highly public debate. As you will hear, we reference a few items in the discussion. Phillip 66's Investor Relations presentation entitled “Delivering Value & Demonstrating Commitment,” released Monday, April 28, is linked here. Veriten's COBT episode featuring Doug Terreson is linked here. Thanks to Mark for joining us for an insightful discussion and thanks to you all for your friendship and support!

In this episode of the me&my health up podcast, Emma Dunwoody shares her transformative journey from struggling with mental health issues to discovering her purpose through human design. She explains how human design serves as an energetic blueprint that helps individuals understand their true selves and navigate their lives authentically. The conversation delves into the different archetypes within human design, emphasising the importance of self-worth and personal development in achieving fulfillment and success.  Takeaways Emma transitioned from a successful advertising career to coaching after overcoming mental health challenges. She emphasises the importance of understanding one's mental health journey to facilitate healing. Human design is described as an energetic blueprint that influences behavior and personality. Self-worth plays a crucial role in how individuals express their potential according to their human design. Emma's experience with human design led to significant improvements in her coaching results. The conversation highlights the five human design types: Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors. Manifestors are initiators who inspire others into action but need freedom to operate. Generators respond to life and are energised by what lights them up. Manifesting Generators are multi-passionate, fast-moving builders who thrive by responding to life, following their excitement, and embracing their non-linear path.   Projectors offer wisdom and guidance but need to be invited to share their insights. Reflectors serve as mirrors, reflecting the truth of their environment and the people around them. About Emma Dunwoody: Emma Dunwoody is a Human Design Expert, Master Coach, and Behavioral Specialist with a powerful mission to transform lives. As the host of the #1 global Human Design podcast, she uses her unique Transformational Human Design™ method to guide individuals towards self-discovery and empowerment.

With a passion for helping people unlock their inner wisdom, she inspires her clients to embrace their true potential, reclaim their power, and make confident, authentic decisions. Emma believes this approach will lead to a world rooted in peace, joy, and abundance, where people courageously live their truth.

Joe Pardavila sits down with Merle Symes, author of The Innovation Edge: How Large Companies Lose It and How to Get It Back, to explore the challenges and nuances of fostering innovation in established organizations.Merle breaks down the critical differences between incremental and strategic innovation, explaining why traditional project management methods often fail when applied to groundbreaking ideas. The conversation delves into the "S-Curve Paradox," where companies at their peak success are most vulnerable to disruption, and the concept of "intelligent failure"—how to fail purposefully and learn from setbacks without stifling creativity.Joe and Merle also discuss the cultural barriers to innovation, including short-termism, the "check-the-box" mentality, and the need for leadership to embrace an "ambidextrous" approach—balancing immediate goals with long-term vision. Through real-world examples like Kodak, Blockbuster, and Intel, they highlight the consequences of resting on past successes and missing emerging opportunities.Touching on the role of AI and the importance of organizational mindset, this episode offers actionable insights for leaders aiming to reignite innovation in their teams.

Links The Art of Gathering, by Priya Parker Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Read the transcript of this podcast Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Adam reflects on his three years as elders quorum president, recalling the initial challenge of revitalizing a stagnant quorum after the pandemic. His quorum includes a diverse mix of young adults and seniors, which made fostering meaningful connections essential. To lead effectively, Adam prioritized creating a safe space for open discussions, believing connection must come before impactful gospel instruction. He shares practical strategies, such as beginning meetings with personal check-ins and setting ground rules to encourage trust and honesty. These efforts helped members feel heard and valued. The discussion shifts to ministering, where Adam stresses the importance of building personal connections during interviews. Instead of administrative check-ins, he promotes genuine conversations about members' lives to create a culture of support and vulnerability. Adam also introduced interest-based activities outside regular meetings, which strengthened camaraderie. Additionally, informal tools like WhatsApp have kept members connected and supported between gatherings, enhancing the sense of community. 04:10 - Adam's Location and Temple Proximity 05:17 - Adam's Profession and Role 06:02 - Adam's Experience as Elders Quorum President 07:06 - Challenges of Reintegrating After COVID 08:02 - Demographics of the Quorum 08:59 - Meeting Locations and Challenges 09:46 - Initial Steps as Elders Quorum President 10:50 - Focus on Ministering Assignments 12:05 - Building Connection and Unity 13:10 - Moving from Ideal to Reality in Lessons 18:30 - Importance of Vulnerability in Discussions 20:12 - Engaging Different Groups in Lessons 24:51 - Real-Life Example: Discussing Blessings 30:01 - Connection Precedes Meaningful Instruction 30:44 - Creating Ground Rules for Safety 35:03 - Connection Outside Sunday Meetings 39:58 - Interest-Based Micro Groups 40:33 - Managing Activities and Engagement 41:22 - Using WhatsApp for Communication 44:40 - Ministering to the Ministers 47:51 - Conclusion and Final Thoughts The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

Dave Lohr comes to the podcast via a round about connection to Bobby Malone (Episode 150). Dave is a VaTech graduate and his major and career was in Chemical Engineering. Paul first thanked Dave for talking to his son Zach who is also a Chemical Engineering major and a soon to be VT Alum! They then talked about The Indianapolis 500 which Dave will attend for the twenty-eighth straight time in May of 2025. This started Paul and Dave on the main theme of the podcast which was talking about sports and the many amazing sporting events that Dave has attended with family and friends. They did talk about him growing up in western Maryland, going to parochial school, playing baseball and basketball and having a great group of friends. His love of sports almost started him down a different career path, but after attending VaTech, he worked at DuPont where he would meet his wife Diane. Dave finished by talking about his family including he and Diane's two kids, their spouses and their three grandsons. Paul finished by saying that he thinks Dave is the biggest sports fan he has ever talked to!

In Well Worth Saving (Yale University Press, 2019), Professor Laurel Leff explores how American universities responded to the sudden and urgent appeals for help from scholars trapped in Nazi-dominated Europe. Although many scholars were welcomed into faculty or research positions in the US, thousands more tried to find a way over and failed. Those who were unable to flee were left to face the horrors of the Holocaust. In this rigorously researched book, Laurel Leff rescues from obscurity scholars who were deemed "not worth saving" and tells the riveting, full story of the hiring decisions universities made during the Nazi era. Laurel Leff is Professor of Journalism and Associate Director of Jewish Studies at Northeastern University. This interview was conducted by Renee Hale, who holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and works in R&D for the food and beverage industry.
