[4:00] We chose to go with the Air National Guard so that we can serve our community and go to school. [4:26] I found out that it really provided so much experience, education, camaraderie and community that I ended up falling in love with it and staying in. [4:45] In the last 19 years, I've had seven different positions and I just keep challenging and growing myself through those experiences. [5:01] What we do is we serve in the community that we live in where we do domestic operations and we have a federal mission as well. [6:10] Even though I work part time, technically, I wear that uniform inside my heart, mind and life and is very deep rooted in our core values. [8:08] As a servant leader, an airman, as a leader, I have to consistently hold on to the call to serve others before self. [8:37] I met my husband eight years ago and as a military spouse, I had to resign my fulltime active duty position, go part time and serve right with [9:47] The biggest thing when I think about my service and how it connects to me, being an entrepreneur is really just learning to trust myself, and reach outside my comfort zone. [11:25] My experience enables me to help my clients face difficult situations and really owning the trust of their experience and [12:18] Many a times we have to drown out those negative noises and really stay true to our passion, drive and our values. [14:08] Commercial Break. [14:55] Both of my businesses have a foundation of emotional intelligence and personal growth. [16:04] I think in order for us to show up in life, relationship and connect with other human beings, we have to be totally good with ourselves first. [16:15] My career has evolved so much over time, because the more I help mostly women, the more I learn how complicated human being we are. [16:52] What I found is that many times if people want to lose weight, it's much deeper than that and so I focus on everything about emotional intelligence and the human connection. [17:10] We just launched the cruise beyond limits and my husband is handling all the men's personal training. [17:52] I also found that the power of stretch, recovery, and Yoga has to be a really great part of our cross training and so I actually just brought on an affiliate cruise coach who is a yoga instructor. [18:16] My second business is inclusion culture where I have three other business partners doing consulting work on inclusion and diversity for four years now. [20:13] When COVID happened, we had to pivot really quickly to zoom and really learn how to facilitate group training over zoom. [20:43] We also have a foundation of emotional intelligence where we help leaders and companies discover within themselves so that they can make deeper connections and understand themselves. [21:07] With the new ways of working, people are getting comfortable at home and it's a whole other dynamic of what humans go through and grow through. [22:22] Our goal is really to drive that connection, not only with themselves, but with others, regardless of the situation. [22:45] Take each day as it comes and everyday as a blessing so live each day just your true potential and reach outside your comfort zone to see what's possible. [23:54] Sometimes we don't have to have all the answers or always be perfect, we just have to be willing to try. [24:16] …………………………………….

Our Culture Crush team has gotten into the groove of making great matches. We used to say that the matching was like great wine and cheese, but this time it was more like great soup and a bread bowl (get it?). Katie Wall from CutlureBiz and Louis Basile from Wildflower Bread Company was a great pairing to discuss the importance of growing company culture in a way that is intentional, consistent, and fun. Whether you are bringing a blow horn to a meeting or starting your meeting off with a facilitated game (from CultureBiz), it is important to bring a level of play into the workplace. This episode is great for all audiences to listen to. If you are in leadership trying to improve meetings and overall participation and morale of your team- you should listen in. If you are determining the various ways to improve company culture- then listen in. If you are wondering how easy it is to improve company culture, it's not- so listen in. If you are looking for another resource to help grow the culture of your team- listen in? If you are looking for another great company in Arizona to support or work for-you should listen in. Wildflower is a local Arizona fast casual restaurant chain that believes success comes down to three things — outstanding food, great service, and clean restaurants. It is easy to say, but it takes a strong commitment to executing consistently. Attention to detail, putting the customers' needs first, and a deep desire to be a great company help make the Wildflower a place where customers want to be. Louis J. Basile Jr. is the Founder & President of Wildflower and has worked in the restaurant industry since his childhood growing up in Union, NJ. His father owned a local luncheonette in East Orange, NJ, where he learned the restaurant business. At the beginning of his career, Mr. Basile served as a Construction Project Manager, renovating existing steak houses into Cisco Café Mexican Restaurants for the Chart House/Cork n' Cleaver Corporation. In 1981 Mr. Basile joined a three-store chain called Au Bon Pain (Boston, MA), an upscale quick service restaurant and bakery. Louis was a key Senior Manager who helped Au Bon Pain grow to over 250 Stores during his tenure. Mr. Basile held numerous Senior Management positions, including Vice President of Operations, Construction, Research & Development, and Domestic & International Franchising. Mr. Basile and his family moved to Arizona in 1994. Before following his dream to create his own fast casual restaurant and bakery concept, Mr. Basile held the position of President/COO of the Coffee Plantation (Tempe, AZ). Mr. Basile founded the Wildflower in Scottsdale, AZ, in 1995. The first Wildflower opened in November 1996. Today, he oversees multiple restaurant locations and a growing, fresh dough Central Production Facility as well as a wholesale bread division operating throughout Greater Phoenix and Northern Arizona. Wildflower Bread Company is part of the fastest growing segment in hospitality called Fast Casual. Wildflower prides itself on delivering the most memorable restaurant bakery experience and impacting its local communities through various charitable outreach programs. In recognition of these efforts, Wildflower was awarded the 2018 Restaurant Neighbor Award by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation. Mr. Basile started and was Chairman of the Fast-Casual Industry Council, an affiliate of the National Restaurant Association. Louis is a National Restaurant Association Board Member. He is a past Chairman of the Arizona Restaurant Association and Arizona Restaurant Association Educational Foundation. Louis serves as a Board Director for Child Crisis Arizona. Mr. Basile served on the Advisory Board for People Report/Black Box Intelligence and PeopleMatter. Louis is a founding member of Changers of Commerce, a movement of leaders who believe there is a better way of practicing Capitalism. Louis is married to Tracy Basile, and they have three children Zachary, Jessie, and Max. Follow Wildflower on Facebook.

Podcast Interview With Kyle Gibbard, Toronto Area Construction Project Manager by Student Association

Starting out in the survival stage of your business meant you spent most days dreaming, doing, and making sure that everything is being held together. Growth slowly (sometimes not so slowly) begins to creep in and before you know it you are maxed out not knowing how to get it all done in a 24 hour day. Jason has spent years on this hamster wheel and his health and family are starting to really pay the price.  Sure, he has some access to cash and resources but absolutely no time to enjoy any of it. Part of the reason he started his business is to create margin to spend more time with his family and more time giving to the passions that he and his wife share.  Instead, Jason is spending the majority of his time with other families making sure their home is maintained...neglecting his own maintenance. How do you jump off the hamster wheel and start to grab and enjoy the margin that is so widely promoted to entrepreneurs (aka, “you can be your own boss...set your own hours…”)? There is a high likelihood that as a business owner you have a driven personality...you're a dreamer, a pioneer; an “out there” thinker.  You take risks and often fire before ever really aiming.  Aiming is important...but you don't have to be the one doing it all of the time. How do you find someone to complement your skills and your responsibility as an owner?   How do you work with that person in a way that doesn't drive them or you crazy? For goodness sake...how do you afford them? First, let's just step back a minute and take a deep breath...although it may feel like your world is imploding let's just remember that the world is not.  The sun still comes up and goes down...the tide comes in and goes out...the rain comes and goes. In most businesses that operate with great purpose there is a Visionary and another person who acts as an Implementer or what Dan Sullivan would call a Project Manager (not the same as a Construction Project Manager).   In most cases you are the Visionary which means in most cases you are on the hunt for an Implementer. But where are they and who are they? The role of the visionary is pretty straightforward; dream, pioneer, see, push and try your best to describe what you've concocted in words that the Implementer can understand.  The Implementer then takes that jumbled, fast, and often confusing collection of words, ideas, and concepts back to their workstation and goes to work in three major areas. First, the Implementer translates all of your dreams and visions into an articulate form so others can understand it. Next, the Implementer begins the hard work of distilling all of that vision down into a collection of systems, processes, and easy-to-digest implementables.  Essentially that are “packaging” the vision into a brand that the Doers can understand and go to work IN. Third, the Implementer embeds this new vision “package” into the rhythm of the Doer-team via team meetings, 12 week plans, dashboards, and reporting so progress can begin on the destination (aka - the vision). Finally, the Implementer updates both the Visionary and the Doers of the progress towards the vision while the Implementer heads back out to pioneer the open country to see what other visions await in an effort to constantly exercise their mission.   So how do you afford an Implementer?  You begin saving up NOW. Setup a separate bank account and title it “New Hire Account” (literally, have your bank title that account) and begin adding the salary you think you'll have to pay an Implementer into that account every month.   If you don't have enough each month, then you know you're not ready.  But as you accrue it will help provide the confidence you need. In the meantime, be on the hunt for your Implementer. They will be the ones dressed in the variegated colors of vision, the muted colors of process, and the pleasant colors of collaboration.   Scott Beebe is the founder of Business On Purpose, author of Let Your Business Burn: Stop Putting Out Fires, Discover Purpose, And Build A Business That Matters.  Scott also hosts The Business On Purpose Podcast and can be found at mybusinessonpurpose.com.

Medium Connie Griffith, a former Engineer and Construction Project Manager, shares her mediumistic journey and tips for experiencing spirit every day and at work. Lily Dale, NY is the largest center for the practice of Spiritualism in western New York and a wonderful place to visit in the summer and take classes. Connie was a scientific person and said “Yes!” to career opportunities as they came up.  She is an Industrial Engineer with an MBA whose career was focused on logic and science but in a field that dealt with human nature. When you’re curious about something, the Universe finds the answers. Lily Dale is a Spiritualist Community and the purpose is to connect with those in spirit as proof that we are more than physical beings and bring hope, upliftment, and encouragement. Connie’s first experience receiving a message from a medium was relevant, meaningful, and gave her guidance.  Her curiosity wanted to know how the medium was getting this information and where it was coming from. Connie tried to keep her work with spirit separate from her project work.  She avoided spiritual discussion in projects.  It’s part of her mission to integrate all aspects of herself. Advice for folks working in engineering or corporate type jobs who have a yearning for working with spirit:  (a)  Owning your sense of connection with spirit or spirituality makes you stronger and makes people in your presence more comfortable with it.  (b)  Spirit looks out for us, giving us impressions or communications to help us even while we are at work. How spirit communicates with us differs from person to person.  You might hear spirit, feel spirit, see an image or symbol, and/or get a message in your dreams.  Just pay attention and be aware.  Spirit can be very humorous in how it communicates with you! Trusting what you are getting from spirit is a big step in strengthening spirit communication. A business leader can benefit from a reading on a personal level as well as possible business issues you may not fully have knowledge about. One of the biggest misconceptions people have is they expect mediums to know everything and know all their secrets . . . and that’s simply not true.  Connie Griffith’s website:  www.conniegriffith.com  and also one of the registered mediums at www.lilydaleassembly.org Dan Johnson’s websites:  www.performancemastery.com  and www.vibrationalintelligence.com Subscribe to Spirit and Energy Podcast in your favorite podcast app or visit www.spiritandenergypodcast.com
