In this episode, we're talking about something every leader wrestles with — how to hire not just for talent, but for fit. Leaders are often tempted to prioritize skills over alignment, yet the long-term health of an organization depends on hiring people who embody its mission, vision, and values. Join us in this episode of Encouragement for Work as Mark is joined by Vaughn Thurman, CEO of HighGear Software, a leader who has built his company around a set of core values that have come to define the organization and everything it does. Vaughn's journey reminds us that hiring decisions do more than impact the bottom line — they shape culture, influence engagement, and define how work is experienced every day. About Our Guest: Vaughn Thurman Vaughn Thurman is a technology leader and entrepreneur passionate about building organizations where people thrive, and mission drives performance. As CEO of HighGear Software, Vaughn leads a team dedicated to helping organizations simplify complexity and work with greater purpose and clarity. Throughout his career, Vaughn has emphasized values-based leadership, particularly the importance of hiring and developing people who align with an organization's mission, vision, and values. His experience building and scaling teams and shaping cultures has reinforced a critical truth: mission-aligned hiring is essential to long-term success and healthy workplaces. Vaughn brings practical insight to conversations at the intersection of leadership, culture, and performance, encouraging leaders to remain faithful to their mission while building strong, empowered teams. Vaughn's leadership journey includes the unique experience of building two radically different companies, teams, and cultures under one roof and of observing and learning from the unexpected operational, financial, and relational impacts of having one team built on principles while the other was built on a top-candidate opportunistic hiring strategy. But most importantly, Vaughn is a follower of Christ and is not ashamed to share the message. Hiring Against Your MVV — Why It Costs You More Than You Think Hiring individuals who do not align with your mission, vision, and values can quietly erode culture, weaken engagement, and undermine long-term performance. Vaughn shares lessons from building HighGear — from early hiring decisions to scaling a values-driven organization — and how staying true to core values shaped the company's identity and success. You will learn: Hiring for culture and values isn't a “nice to have” — it's a strategic and sustainable business decision. Leadership Lessons from a Mission-Driven CEO Vaughn's path — from the Air Force to serial entrepreneur to CEO — offers valuable insight into leading with integrity and purpose. He discusses how core values such as honesty, discipline, and commitment to service influence decision-making, recruitment, and team development, especially when leaders face pressure to compromise. You will learn: Leading people well requires intentional value alignment, beginning with how and why you hire. Building High-Performing Teams by Empowering People Vaughn's work with no-code workflow tools reflects a deeper leadership principle: equip people to do meaningful work. He explores how this mindset shapes recruitment, training, and culture-building — moving organizations beyond transactional hiring toward transformational development. You will learn: Work becomes a place of growth when people are seen as contributors to purpose, not cogs in a machine. Concerned about your organization's as-is HR programs?

Acts 17:16-34; Charles Johnson, Senior Pastor at RMC; the fourth sermon in our series on RMC's Core Values.

In the final week of our core values series, Co-Lead Pastor Jason Coker unpacks what it means to put "Faith in Action." Exploring the familiar parable of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25, Jason tackles an ancient religious debate: Which is more righteous, spiritual devotion or good deeds? Through a highly relatable (and slightly exhausting) metaphor about the never-ending reality of home repair, Jason illustrates the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam—repairing the world. He challenges the modern Christian tendency to focus on signaling the "right" religious identity rather than doing the actual work of the Gospel. Ultimately, Jesus makes it clear: God identifies with the hungry, the sick, the stranger, and the imprisoned. Join us for a grounded, practical message about stepping past performative faith and committing to the everyday acts of loving-kindness and justice that keep our shared "house" from falling apart.

On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we welcome board industry vet, Jamie Meiselman to the show! We  trace his journey from cold-water surfing in Westfield, New Jersey and the DIY dawn of Northeast snowboarding to a lifetime of innovation across board sports. Jamie reflects on his early roots in skate, surf and competitive snowboarding, pioneering boot technology with Burton and Airwalk, and his years shaping the voice of the industry as Managing Editor of Transworld Snowboarding during its explosive growth in the early 90s. After earning an MBA at Columbia, he pursued an ambitious surf-focused wave pool project that ultimately collapsed, shaping his philosophy on risk, resilience, and iteration. In 2017, Jamie returned to his core passion and founded Solite, introducing the first heat-moldable surf bootie and building a lean, performance-driven brand now respected worldwide. This conversation explores obsession, reinvention, craftsmanship, wave pool evolution, and the mindset behind creating products that truly improve function — closing with reflections on shaping, favorite boards, and the perfect eternity wave.Follow Jamie's company Solite Boots on Instagram @solitebootsand you can check out the latest selection at https://soliteboots.com/The Swell Season Surf Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network. For more information, you can follow @swellseasonsurfradio on Instagram or go to our website: www.swellseasonsurf.com Music: Artist: Sure SureSong: This Must be the PlaceAlbum: Sure Sure00:00 Welcome to the Swell Season Surf Podcast + Jamie Meiselman's Wild Resume04:18 Risk, Failure & the Brutal Early Wave Pool Dream (1999–2004)07:08 Franken-Boots, First Patents & Burton/K2 Innovation Stories10:47 The Obsession Advantage: How Jamie Thinks, Learns & Gets Distracted (AI Tools)13:21 Building a Lean Niche Brand: Solite's Focus, Marketing & Why Performance Wins19:02 Growing Up in NJ: Skateparks, Hamptons Summers & Learning to Surf23:32 Early Snowboarding DIY Era: Woodshop Boards, Ski-Shop Roots & Tinkering Mindset28:07 Solite Origin Story: From Seamless EVA Surf Gloves to Heat-Moldable Boots32:42 Staying Small on Purpose: Competitors, Core Values & Avoiding the ‘Next Nike' Trap35:46 Founder Reality Check: Freedom vs 7-Day Weeks, Support Systems & Family Balance41:58 Less Is More: Letting Kids Learn With Guardrails42:53 Balancing Marriage, Work, and Empty-Nester Life43:42 Surf vs Snowboard: Family Interests & Learning Curves46:17 Living Inland vs Beachside: Staying Hungry for Waves49:40 Dartmouth Days: Choosing Mountains, Quitting Lacrosse for Snowboarding52:03 Starting a Snowboard Club + Early Skiers vs Snowboarders Tension54:41 The ‘Urinal Meeting' That Launched a Transworld Writing Career57:09 Why Surfing Stays #1 (and Chasing Feel Over Progression)01:00:06 From Shaping Curiosity to DIY Boardbuilding as a Step-by-Step Process01:05:52 Boots, Concave Decks, and Performance-Enhancing Gear Ideas01:09:17 Inside Transworld's Boom: Ads, Trade Shows, and Snowboarding's Explosion01:13:30 From Airwalk to Burton: Boot Wars, Culture Shock, and the Wave-Pool Seed01:19:45 From Water Parks to Surf Pools: The Wave Pool Spark01:20:27 Prototyping the Dream: Trade Shows, Engineers & Early Wave Tech01:21:42 Business School as a Launchpad: Columbia, Seed Money & Raising Capital01:24:09 The Hard Part: Rejection, Anxiety, and Getting to the First Million01:26:20 The Fatal Flaw: Adjustable Bottom Contours and Why the Pool Kept Breaking01:28:11 When It Fell Apart: Boardroom Confidence, Bad Partners & Lessons Learned01:29:43 The Randall's Island “What If”: NYC Indoor Surfing That Never Happened01:32:18 Bouncing Back: Mindset After Failure and Building Smarter at Solight01:35:48 Solight's Growth Playbook: DTC vs Wholesale, Dealers, and Global Distribution01:40:17 Marketing Breakthrough: Pros in Cold Water and the Slater Boots Moment01:43:19 What's Next for Solight: New Products, Hats, and “No Me-Too Gear” Philosophy01:47:57 Surfer Questionnaire + The Perfect Eternal Wave (and Wave Pools Today)01:54:34 Closing Thoughts: The Future of Surfing, Wave Pool Communities & Sign-OffBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/swell-season-surf-radio--3483504/support.

In our 4-week series on The Four Agreements, we're exploring practical pathways to deepen connection, act with intention, and create a vibrant, thriving spiritual community by showing up as our best, most authentic selves. In our second week, Dr. Nancy Little, LUT, weaves the Second Agreement—don't take things personally—with our Core Value of Integrity. How do we stay true to ourselves when our feelings are hurt? What keeps us steady when criticism or misunderstanding arises? When pressure builds, what anchors our integrity? Drawing from Don Miguel Ruiz's teachings, Dr. Nancy Little will explore how spiritual strength helps us choose response over reaction. Integrity isn't proven when life is easy—it is revealed when we remain aligned under pressure.

The Monday Minute is your weekly reset to help you lead better, think clearer, and build your dealership with intention.Your core values shouldn't just be words on a poster—they should guide how your team shows up when deals get tight, customers get frustrated, and decisions cost you in the short term. In this episode, we break down how to define core values for your car dealership that actually shape your culture and customer experience.WHAT WE COVER:Why most dealership core values fail (and how to make yours stick)The personal reflection every dealer owner must do: What matters most to YOU?How to narrow down your values to the critical three (if everything's a priority, nothing is)Real scenarios to test your values: flat tires, challenging credit, and daily interactionsThe difference between policies and principles—and why values must be lived, not listedBuilding team alignment so "What Would [Your Name] Do?" becomes second natureACTION STEPS THIS WEEK:Brainstorm your values - Write down everything that comes to mind: honesty, transparency, community, reliability, quality, customer serviceNarrow to three - Pick the core principles that have actually helped you succeed (and saved you when things went wrong)Define applications - For each value, describe what it looks like in action at your dealershipTest scenarios - Walk through real situations with your team to ensure values guide decisions, not just sound goodThis isn't about creating wall art. It's about building standards that guide every customer interaction, even when no one's watching.

https://teachhoops.com/ Adversity is not an obstacle to your season; it is a required ingredient for building a championship culture. Whether it is a key injury, a heart-breaking loss on a buzzer-beater, or the "January Lull" where the grind starts to wear on your players, these moments are "Character Audits." As a coach, your reaction to adversity sets the ceiling for your team's resilience. If you remain poised and "solution-oriented," your players will mirror that stability. The goal is to shift the narrative from "Why is this happening to us?" to "What is this teaching us?" By reframing a mid-season slump as a necessary test, you prepare your team for the inevitable pressure of the postseason, where mental toughness is the ultimate tie-breaker. To navigate adversity effectively, you must lean into your "Core Values" and "Non-Negotiables." When things go wrong, the natural instinct of a team is to fragment and play "hero ball." This is when you must "double down" on your system. Use film sessions not to point fingers, but to show where the standards slipped. Remind your players that they are "Better Together" and that the "Power of the Unit" is what will carry them through the storm. In your mid-season mentoring calls, focus on "Emotional Consistency"—maintaining the same intensity and belief whether you are on a five-game winning streak or a three-game skid. This consistency builds "Trust Equity," ensuring that your athletes don't panic when they face a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter. Finally, remember that the most enduring legacies are built in the "Valleys," not just the "Peaks." A team that learns how to fight back from a deficit or handle a difficult coaching decision develops a "competitive scar tissue" that makes them nearly impossible to break. Celebrate the small wins during these tough stretches—a player's bench energy, a teammate's defensive rotation, or a successful execution of a sideline out-of-bounds play. By focusing on "The Process" rather than the "Result," you keep the team's eyes on the horizon. When you eventually emerge from the adversity, you won't just have a better basketball team; you'll have a group of resilient young leaders who understand that true success is found in the persistence of the climb.

In this Sunday teaching, Co-Lead Minister Jenell Coker continues our series on Oceanside Sanctuary's Core Values, focusing this week on "Sacred Stories." Drawing from the Gospel of John (20:24-29), Jenell re-examines the narrative of "Doubting Thomas." Rather than seeing Thomas's hesitation as a failure of faith, she presents it as a vital invitation to investigate the Divine for ourselves. Exploring the gritty realism of Caravaggio's painting The Incredulity of Saint Thomas, Jenell illustrates how personal encounters with the risen Christ—and the sharing of those experiences—are what truly transform us. We are challenged to move beyond simply consuming the stories of others and instead learn to articulate our own. From the "sacred ordinary" of daily tasks to the pursuit of justice, how do we recognize and record God's presence in our lives? Join us as we explore the power of journaling, testimony, and the healing found in owning our sacred stories.

Elisa Trentham is a legacy storyteller, founder of Sherwood Media, and adjunct instructor who's learned how to build a video business on her own terms. In this conversation, she shares why elevating client experience matters more than having the fanciest gear, how she's building her own distribution platform through live events, and the importance of defining success based on your values—not someone else's highlight reel. Key Takeaways Client experience is everything – From pre-production prep to the actual set, creating an elevated experience for your clients sets you apart more than your camera specs ever will. Build your own platform – Instead of relying solely on social media algorithms, create your own distribution through live events and community experiences where you control the narrative. Define success on your terms – Stop comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else's highlight reel. Your journey, your values, and your definition of success are what matter. Be a "heck yes" person – If you're going to say yes to something, go all in. But also give yourself permission to pivot when something's not working anymore. About Elisa Trentham Elisa is a Knoxville native, business owner, wife, and mother of three who has spent her career capturing stories that matter. Her journey began in her backyard, making movies with friends using her parents' camcorder. That passion led her to Asbury University where she earned a Media Communication degree and gained experience working broadcast at the Vancouver Winter Olympics and on film sets in Hollywood. After college, Elisa joined University of Tennessee professors as the Media Production Coordinator for an international women's empowerment program funded by the State Department. This role taught her how to tell powerful stories with a simple camera and microphone, and gave her opportunities to travel around the world. But her most meaningful projects are much more personal to her - creating a "legacy films" capturing the stories of people who have impacted her life, her grandmother, her father, and even her midwife. Through this 10-year business and storytelling journey, Elisa developed her storytelling values of honor, truth, and love.

Psalm 95; Charles Johnson, Senior Pastor at RMC; the second sermon in the series on RMC's Core Values.

A media ministry publication of Grace Bible Church in Elkhart, Indiana. Moments of transforming grace from the Bible.

As we continue our look at our Core Values, we consider Purposeful Presence.We look at a story from Luke 17 and conclude by reflecting on examples of people - including those in Minneapolis -- who are purposefully choosing to show up for each other.

https://teachhoops.com/ A program-building coaching call is a high-level strategic session designed to help you move beyond the "game-to-game" mentality and start thinking like an architect of a basketball culture. While tactical calls focus on the "how" of a 2-3 zone or a motion offense, a program-building call focuses on the infrastructure that supports those tactics. This includes everything from defining your program's "Core Values" to establishing a vertical integration plan with your youth and middle school feeders. By having an objective, Hall of Fame perspective look at your entire system, you can identify the structural "leaks" that are preventing you from building a sustainable, year-after-year winner in your community. During these sessions, we dive into the "Off-Court" essentials that often determine a head coach's longevity and success. This involves managing administrative relationships, navigating parent dynamics, and creating a marketing plan that builds "brand loyalty" for your team. Many coaches use these calls to audit their staff roles—ensuring that assistant coaches are being utilized effectively and that the "message" remains consistent across all levels. Whether you are taking over a struggling program or trying to push a good program to "elite" status, a structured building plan provides the roadmap necessary to maintain your focus during the mid-season grind and ensures you are making decisions that benefit the program's health three to five years down the line. Ultimately, a program-building call provides the clarity and confidence needed to lead with authority. It turns your vision into a documented "Blueprint" that you can share with your players, parents, and athletic director. This level of professional preparation sets you apart as a leader who isn't just "coaching for a season" but is "building for a decade." By utilizing the collective wisdom found on TeachHoops and these personalized mentoring sessions, you can avoid the common pitfalls that lead to coach burnout and instead create an environment where excellence is the standard and success is inevitable. A championship isn't just won on the court; it's engineered through the deliberate, strategic building of every facet of your basketball community.

Colossians 1:15-29; Charles Johnson, Senior Pastor at RMC; the first sermon in a series on RMC's Core Values.

In this episode of Fallon Moran Radio, Fallon K Moran delves into the significance of understanding our core values and how they shape our decisions in both personal and professional realms. By exploring how our values are ingrained from a young age, Fallon invites listeners to embark on a journey of self-discovery that can lead to meaningful changes in their lives.Understanding Core Values: Fallon starts by emphasizing that core values are not something you can simply pull from Pinterest or the latest self-help book. Instead, they reside deep within us, shaped by our upbringing and experiences. It's essential to tap into these subconscious beliefs to truly understand what drives us. The Importance of Commitment: To illustrate her point, Fallon shares a personal anecdote about her breakthrough day, where she chose to focus on health instead of her career. She realized the difference between training with a dedicated partner versus training alone. In her past experiences, the commitment to a common goal pushed her to achieve more. She explains, "When there's a commitment and there's a dedication made between two people... I am saying to them that I am going to show up for them just as much as I show up for myself." This highlights the importance of service to others in achieving personal goals. Eliciting Values: To discover your own values, Fallon suggests identifying specific scenarios that cause friction in your life. By asking yourself what you truly want to achieve in these situations, you can uncover what drives you. For instance, she reflects on her goal of achieving a seven-minute 2K and recognizes that it not only represents personal achievement but also serves her team. Towards vs. Away Motivators: Fallon introduces the concept of towards and away motivators, explaining how they influence our values. Towards motivators are what we aspire to achieve, while away motivators highlight what we wish to avoid. Understanding this distinction can help in aligning our actions with our core values. Building a Business Around Values: Fallon emphasizes that building a business should be centered around personal values rather than the other way around. She shares her own experience of accommodating her daughter's therapy appointments into her business model, demonstrating how flexibility can lead to greater satisfaction and success. Conclusion: In this enlightening episode, Fallon K Moran challenges listeners to reflect on their values and how they can align their personal and professional lives accordingly. By understanding what drives us and what we want to avoid, we can create a life and career that is fulfilling and meaningful. Key Takeaways: 1. Core values are ingrained from a young age and must be explored on a deeper level to be understood.  2. Commitment to others enhances personal achievement and fulfillment.  3. Identifying towards and away motivators can clarify what values to incorporate or avoid.  4. Build a business model that aligns with your values for greater success and satisfaction.Breakthrough Day 2026 (https://www.notion.so/2026-Online-Business-Plan-27559275073580b9ad1dd93f87a27840?pvs=21) Grab 1 of 5 $1 Breakthrough days before they are gone!

We begin a series around BNI's Core Values! We start with the most important one, the entire philosophy of BNI - Givers Gain.

In this message from our Core Values series, we dive into two foundational pillars of who we are as Central Valley Church: Biblical Community and Family. What does it truly mean to belong to the Body of Christ? How is biblical community different from every other kind of community we experience in life? And why is it not optional—but essential—for every follower of Jesus? Using 1 Corinthians 12, we're reminded that every believer has value, purpose, and a place in the body. You matter. Your gifts matter. And we need each other to walk out God's will, find healing, carry burdens together, and grow in unity. The message also unpacks why family is one of God's primary ways of passing faith from generation to generation. God is for your marriage. He is for your children. He is for your legacy. No matter how broken or messy your story may feel, God is still writing redemption into your family line. Whether you're longing for deeper connection, feeling like you don't belong, or fighting for your family—this message is for you.

What if love wasn't just chemistry or chance but something you could actually measure? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down with author and data analyst Zoey Charif to explore how love, attraction, and long term compatibility can be understood through data, self awareness, and values. Zoey shares the story behind her book “Love Can, in Fact, Be Calculated” and explains how she developed a values based framework to predict relationship success. She breaks down the concept of a “self score,” why admiration matters more than equality, and how misalignment in values quietly erodes relationships over time. Darius and Zoey also unpack the difference between values and trait preferences, why people are often drawn to familiar but destructive patterns, and how this framework can be used as a communication tool rather than a reason to walk away. In this episode, Darius and Zoey will discuss: (00:00) Introduction and Name Origins (02:46) Astrology and Self-Acceptance (05:49) Zoe's Journey to Understanding Love (08:40) The Concept of Calculating Love (14:09) Self-Assessment and Core Values (16:55) The Importance of Self-Score in Relationships (22:44) Navigating Aspirational Values (25:34) Generational Perspectives on Relationships (26:09) Generational Insights on Relationships (28:26) The Importance of Dependability and Reliability (31:02) Understanding Traits vs. Values in Relationships (34:27) The Challenge of Rewiring Attraction (37:47) Self-Awareness in Relationship Patterns (43:40) The Role of Humor in Attraction (49:19) Navigating Emotional Needs and Values Zoey Charif is the President of Business Plans USA, where she leads a team creating business plans, financial models, pitch decks, and market research for businesses of all sizes.

Some of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged topics for men are: attraction, compatibility, and what actually creates lasting connection with a woman. My guest, Laurin Ponce, helps us break down the difference between compatibility, connection, and chemistry - and why confusing those three is where most relationships go off the rails. We talk about what women truly find attractive in a grounded man, what it really means when a woman asks for space, why it feels like there are more rules for men, and how respect is built long before it's ever given. From attachment styles and masculine frame to why women's touch is medicine and how peace and respect create a relationship where both people feel safe and free, this conversation cracks open the unspoken dynamics most men are trying to navigate alone. We also explore the practical side: non-negotiables, testing for compatibility, shared values, money, day-to-day living, and why partners are often mirrors and triggers for our own unresolved work. Laurin and I get into anxious versus avoidant dynamics, masculinity and femininity in modern relationships, emotional expression in men, vulnerability, physical attraction, and how connection is built - and rebuilt - over time SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Understanding Men and Women 01:07 - Is There a Line in "Figuring Each Other Out"? 03:22 - Masculine and Feminine Polarity 05:08 - The Bowl and the Water Analogy 06:46 - Why Respect Starts With Self-Respect 08:21 - Non-Negotiables in Relationships 10:05 - Compatibility vs. Chemistry 13:18 - Core Values and Relationship Dealbreakers 14:58 - You Can't Out-Love Incompatibility 17:16 - Chemistry vs. Trauma Bonds 18:46 - What Real Chemistry Feels Like 19:29 - Peace and Respect in Relationships 22:47 - Creating Emotional Safety 26:52 - Masculine and Feminine Imbalance Today 30:30 - Polarity Always Finds Its Way 33:41 - Letting Go of Armor and Control 35:16 - Becoming the Partner You Want to Attract 39:13 - Consistency and Trust 40:10 - Physical Attraction and Discipline 43:02 - Connection Is Built Over Time 46:37 - Scarcity Mindset in Dating 48:02 - Where Men Should Start in Long-Term Relationships 50:32 - Rekindling Attraction and Intentionality 57:12 - "Cracking the Code" of Your Partner 01:00:29 - Never Get Comfortable in Love 01:05:05 - Serving Each Other Without Shame 01:06:23 - Where to Find Laurin's Work Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!
