See the full webinar list → Eddy Zakes, CEO of Earth Development, joins Phil to share how a commercial snow and landscape company based in Green Bay has grown into a 15-state operation built almost entirely on a service partner network. From acquiring the business in 2021 with no snow industry background, to defining core values and brand promises in a February Airbnb in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, to a negligent homicide lawsuit that reshaped how he thinks about documentation, Eddy shares the operational, cultural, and structural moves that make Earth Development different in a space known for burning subcontractors. Connect with Eddy: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eddyzakes/ Website: earthdevelopmentinc.com Key Learnings Don't Mess Up What You Bought - When you acquire an attractive business, your first job is to learn it and not break it, because you bought it for a reason and every employee is better at their job than you are on day one. Brand Promises Have to Be Reciprocal - If you promise clients you'll be reliable, responsive, and partnering, you need service partners, employees, and even clients showing up the same way, otherwise the promises collapse. Service Partners Are a Two-Sided Marketplace - In every community, there are only a handful of great service partners, so protect that trust because if you burn them, you lose access to everyone they know for years. Recruit Service Partners a Year in Advance - Have conversations with potential partners in new markets before you have work for them, so when the customer expands, you're not starting from zero. Insurance Is the Fastest Disqualifier - The level of insurance a contractor carries is what separates serious commercial snow and ice pros from the people just dabbling. Service Verification Isn't Going Away - Instead of grumbling about the proliferation of apps, embrace them as the tool that protects your company when the worst-case lawsuit hits. Document Every Decline - Recorded phone calls saved Earth Development in a negligent homicide lawsuit tied to a client refusing extra salting, so build the systems that document what happened and what was refused. Fair and Generous Beats Suspicious - Lead with a posture of generosity, backstop it with fairness, and accept that you'll occasionally get taken advantage of because the alternative is living suspicious of everyone. Be a Resource, Not the Eye in the Sky - Monitor service partners nonstop, but show up alongside them during storms with field operations supervisors instead of playing gotcha after the fact. High Expectations Attract the Right Partners - Great service partners want to be part of an elite performance environment, so don't apologize for the accounta...

Keith talks about the Institute's core value of discipleship and what effective discipleship looks like in our lives.

In this lecture, the speaker reflects on Romans 12:9–14 and focuses on hospitality as a Christian practice. He begins with the example of Andre and Magda Trocmé in Le Chambon, who helped shelter Jewish refugees during World War II. Their response to danger is presented as an illustration of practical, costly welcome.The sermon explains that Christian hospitality is not occasional entertaining but a deliberate pursuit of the outsider. The speaker connects this to Romans 15, where believers are told to accept one another as Christ has accepted them. Hospitality is described as helping others experience the welcome God has already given.The lecture then traces the theme of God's hospitality through the Bible, from creation to the cross. It emphasizes that God invites people into his presence, provides what is needed to come without shame, and welcomes those who were once far off. The speaker uses the image of being clothed properly for a formal table to describe being made ready through Jesus.Another major section addresses the difficulty of hospitality. The speaker discusses the tendency to prefer “people like me” and warns against inward-focused community. He gives examples of Christians crossing ethnic, generational, and social divides, including students in Rwanda and the church's life in Baltimore.The sermon concludes by linking hospitality to the future hope of God's homecoming. The speaker says Christian hospitality prepares people to welcome God's coming kingdom and should shape church life through generosity, care for needs, and openness across political and cultural differences. He ends by inviting members to commit to this kind of community.

Discipleship isn't just about gaining more knowledge—it's about becoming more like Jesus and helping others do the same. Every follower of Christ has been called to invest in the spiritual growth of someone else.

What if the most important thing you could do for your athletic performance had nothing to do with training? Heather sits down with Courtney Stone, a licensed clinical social worker and athlete mental health therapist based in Los Angeles, to talk about the inner work that makes athletes more resilient — in and out of sport. Courtney works with athletes navigating eating disorders, body image concerns, ADHD, and the mental performance side of sport. She's also an assistant high school cross-country coach, a marathoner currently training for Chicago, and someone who has lived through both an ACL tear and spine surgery — so she's not speaking theoretically when she talks about what it's like to lose access to the sport you love. They get into process versus outcome goals, what core values actually are and how to find yours, the "life wheel" exercise for athletes transitioning out of sport or sitting with injury, and why setting a goal that's a little too achievable is almost always the right call. It's equal parts practical and personal, and it's the kind of conversation that makes you want to grab a journal.

Hiring is one of the hardest parts of law firm growth, and this episode breaks down why. Kevin Daisey and Daniel Struna of Atticus get real about the tension between urgency and intentional hiring. Daniel shares why so many firms wait too long to hire, then end up making rushed decisions under pressure. He introduces the “humble, hungry, and people smart” framework and explains how culture, core values, and fit should lead every staffing decision. In this episode you'll learn: Why “hell yes or no” is a useful hiring rule How humble, hungry, and people smart predicts team success Why hiring under duress leads to bad decisions When to hire before you think you need to How culture creates a bench of future candidates This conversation is especially valuable for managing partners and firm owners trying to scale without breaking their team or their standards. If staffing has been messy, this episode gives you a clearer way to think about it. Today's episode is sponsored by The Managing Partners Mastermind.

What happens when the values we believe are put to the test? In the final week of our Core Values series, Pastor Josh shares a message titled Built Different. Looking at Daniel 1, we see Daniel and his friends enter a culture that pressured them to compromise who they were and what they believed. Faced with acceptance, comfort, and opportunity, they chose conviction—and God caused them to stand out because they were willing to stand firm. The same challenge exists for us today. Biblical values aren't meant simply to be words we agree with when they're convenient. They shape who we are, guide our decisions, and help us remain faithful when the culture around us pulls in another direction. As Hope City Community Church continues to grow, our goal isn't simply to become a bigger church. It's to remain clear about who God has called us to be and faithful to the values and vision He has given us. Trends may get attention, but values and vision build something that lasts. We are called to be different because we have been built on something different.

Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever taken a personality quiz just for fun, only to wonder afterward what you're actually supposed to do with the results? Lisa has taken more assessments than she can count—including on the corporate side, where discovering she's an ENFJ made total sense to her. But the real question isn't whether these quizzes are fun. It's whether they can actually help you live a better life. Lisa believes they can, which is exactly why she has clients take a number of assessments before they ever start working together.In this episode, Lisa draws a clear line between talent-based assessments like Clifton Strengths, which measure how you work and get things done, and character strengths, which measure who you are and why something feels meaningful while you're doing it. She introduces the Via Character Strengths framework, developed by psychologists Martin Seligman and Christopher Peterson along with a team of 55 scientists, organizing 24 character strengths into six broad virtues: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence. She explains signature strengths—the three to seven strengths that are truest to who you are—and shares research showing that using a signature strength in a new way each day for a week increased happiness and decreased depression for up to six months. Lisa offers three simple ways to spot a signature strength on your own: it feels energizing rather than draining, it feels natural rather than forced, and you lose track of time while doing it. She walks through practical ways this shows up in real life, from choosing a productivity system that fits your strengths, to designing your week around them, to using them as a tiebreaker for hard decisions, to recognizing when burnout comes from spending too much time in your lower strengths. Lisa also gets personal, sharing her own top five signature strengths (gratitude, honesty, love, humor, and creativity) and the story of finally embracing humor publicly in her business after years of hiding it, worried it might undermine her expertise. She closes with a simple challenge: take the free Via assessment, pick one signature strength, and use it in a new way this week.Character strengths, Lisa reminds us, aren't a ranking against anyone else, and they're not about fixing what's broken. They're about noticing who you already are at your best, and building more of your days around that.Key Takeaways:Understand the difference between talent-based assessments like Clifton Strengths and character-based assessments like Via Character Strengths.Discover the six virtues and 24 character strengths that make up the Via framework, developed by Martin Seligman and Christopher Peterson.Learn what a signature strength is and how research links using one in a new way to increased happiness for up to six months.Explore three simple signs you've found a signature strength: it energizes you, feels natural, and makes you lose track of time.See how knowing your strengths can shape your productivity systems, your weekly schedule, and even your hardest decisions.Understand how spending too much time in your lower strengths can be a hidden source of burnout.Hear Lisa's personal story of embracing humor and honesty publicly in her business after years of holding back.Learn how to take the free Via assessment and apply your results with a simple one-week challenge.Thank you for listening!

Ross sits back down with Keys to the Shop founder Chris Deferio (almost 10 years into coaching coffee shop owners now) to dig into the real reason "hospitality" and "engagement" stay buzzwords instead of habits on the floor. Chris walks through why owners have to be the first example of the standard they want to see, how to actually write core values that aren't just a pretty Canva document nobody reads, and why trust has to come before any values rollout works at all. They get into the guilt a lot of owners carry about having authority in the first place, why imposter syndrome is basically just lying to yourself, and a practical, one-value-at-a-time way to change a culture that's already set in its ways.

Grant Gaines shares the importance of abiding in the Truth of God's Word to combat the lies of the enemy. 

In this lecture, the speaker introduces Hebrews 12:14 as the teaching text and argues that holiness should be understood as a central Christian value, alongside hope and hospitality. He begins by saying that holiness is often seen skeptically, but aims to show that it is desirable and worth pursuing.He defines holiness as purity, set-apartness, and thorough devotion to God. Using examples from the Old Testament, he explains that holy things and holy people were set apart for God's purposes, much like sterile tools are reserved for a medical procedure. Holiness meant living with deliberate boundaries in every part of life.The lecture then turns to Jesus as the fullest example of holiness. The speaker says that instead of being contaminated by contact with sinners, the sick, and the demon-possessed, Jesus' holiness overflowed to them and brought healing, repentance, and restoration. Holiness is described as something that should be contagious.The sermon also emphasizes that holiness is something Christians must pursue. The speaker connects this to perseverance and says the motivation for holiness is not harshness or judgment but the desire to see God. He presents holiness as a response to God's worth and a way of seeking intimacy with Him.He brings together different Christian traditions, saying that holiness is both God's work and something believers actively pursue. The Holy Spirit sanctifies, but people are also called to flee sin, pray, and live differently. He illustrates this with a parent and child making rice pudding together: the child contributes real effort, but the adult makes the final result possible.The lecture concludes by saying holiness can overflow into wider blessing for others and for the city. The speaker refers to revivals and spiritual movements as examples where devoted lives led to broader transformation. He then asks listeners to examine their own lives and the life of the church for evidence of growing holiness, and invites those who want prayer to come forward.

God calls us to help those in need. Our mission is to spread the mercy and love of God by meeting people where they are and serving them with compassion.

On this episode of the In The Room podcast, Jonah, Madi, and Amaya discuss Pastor Troy's third church core value, “It Starts at Home,” centered on Joshua 24:15 and the call to choose to serve the Lord today. They reflect on not outsourcing Holy Spirit leadership, letting Jesus—not a spouse—complete you, and making your home your first ministry by serving those closest to you. Jonah shares lessons from marriage and parenting, including serving even after a long day and building a household around Jesus for victory through obstacles. The group talks about learning from parents, patience and self-discipline, out-serving one another, praying over a future spouse, and Ephesians 5:22–28 on submission and sacrificial love. The episode closes with an invitation to receive Jesus and a preview of part four of the Core Value series.

JD Tremblay is a naturopath, elite ultra-endurance triathlete, and founder of the Hungry Warrior Academy - helping people optimize performance through natural methods. JD's primary driver is his value system, with God at the top as a Christian man — he feels compelled to act in ways that please God.

Key Takeaways The BRAIN acronym (Blood chemistry, Recovery, Attention, Inflammation, Nervous system) is JD's core framework for assessing and improving human performance Multitasking is neurologically impossible for high cognitive-load tasks; task switching carries a measurable mental cost The daily choice between faith and fear is universal — no one is immune, regardless of achievement level Discipline exists in everyone; the missing element is often motivation, and combining both is essential for sustained performance Balancing personal values (family, faith, health, work) in an intentional, structured way prevents burnout, relationship breakdown, and loss of focus JD's philanthropic arm, impact.hungrywarrioracademy.com, operates in five countries supporting children and communities in extreme poverty JD Tremblay created Hungry Warrior Academy, helping high-performing men stay disciplined and resilient under long-term pressure, using structured strategies for recovery, load management, and longevity—so performance improves without harming health or judgment.

Having my son, seeing how life has changed, and how I want it to look in the future, led me to think deeply about what my core values are: how they play a role in my life, what contributed to their development as my core values, and if I'm living in alignment with them now (10:56).

CORE VALUES • Glorify God | Pursue Excellence Steve Goble

Our Core Values define who we are. They guide what we do, guard where we go, and show what we stand for. In Week 2 of our Core Values messages, Elder Troy Peaden introduces the six values that help define the identity and mission of Hope City Community Church. Together, these values form the acronym CHASED and provide a practical framework for how we live, serve, love, and pursue the mission God has given us. But our values aren't simply words we've chosen for ourselves. In this message, we see how the Great Commission in Matthew 28 and the Greatest Commandment in Matthew 22 are woven throughout all six, providing a biblical foundation for who we are called to be as a church. Ultimately, everything points back to the grace of Jesus. We are called to love God, love people, make disciples, and faithfully live out the mission He has entrusted to us. This is who we are. This is what guides us. We are CHASED by GRACE.

Keith shares about the Institute's core value of Character and what we learn from the life of Daniel in standing firm in our convictions.

This lecture reflects on hope as a core Christian theme, beginning with the reading of 1 Peter 1:3–9. The speaker emphasizes that God has given believers new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and that this hope is tied to an inheritance kept in heaven.The message then places that passage in the context of uncertainty and suffering. It describes the early Christian movement as small, fragile, and facing persecution, and explains that Peter writes to encourage believers living under real threat. The speaker connects this to the present, arguing that the world still feels marked by anxiety and helplessness.A central point of the lecture is that Christian hope is not generic optimism. The speaker contrasts biblical hope with historical criticisms of hope from figures such as Hesiod, Plato, Nietzsche, Marx, and others, who treated hope as misleading, passive, or manipulative. Instead, the lecture says Christian hope has a specific object: Jesus Christ, who was crucified and raised from the dead.The sermon also explains that Christian hope has a future goal. It points to the salvation of souls, understood as the full renewal of the person, including bodily resurrection. The speaker says this hope addresses not only personal guilt but also wider human threats such as violence, greed, and spiritual evil.Finally, the lecture describes what living hope should produce in practice. It should lead Christians to endure suffering, help others, and work for long-term good even when results are not immediate. Examples include care during historical epidemics and ongoing service in the city. The sermon closes by saying that St. Moses Church must remain centered on Jesus, since he is presented as the church's only hope.

Worship is not just a Sunday morning experience—worship is a lifestyle. We are a church committed to exalting God in every aspect of our lives.

This week , we conclude our six-part series on the core values of Classic City Church with a look at how each believer in Christ is uniquely shaped and specifically stationed to serve God in ministry.InspirationMatthew 9:36-3736 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” MessageMatthew 13:3333 He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.”

What guides your decisions when the pressure is on? In this standalone message, Elder Tim Bolduc explores The Biblical Case for Core Values and why the values we establish before difficult moments can shape how we respond when those moments come. Core values do more than define what we believe. They help define who we are, guide our decisions, establish healthy guardrails, and keep us focused on the calling God has placed before us. Through the stories of Joseph, David, and Jonah, we see the impact of the convictions that guide our choices—for better or for worse. When our values are firmly rooted in Scripture, they give us a foundation for remaining faithful even when circumstances, emotions, or pressure tempt us in another direction. As Hope City Community Church reflects on the biblical foundation behind our own core values, this message challenges each of us to consider the principles guiding our lives. Don't wait until the pressure comes to decide what you believe. Establish your values now, build them on God's Word, and allow them to keep you faithful and focused on His mission.

God designed His Church to be a family, not an audience. Healing, encouragement, accountability, and growth all flourish when believers intentionally pursue biblical community.

We continue our series on the core values of Classic City Church with a look at how authentic faith in one's daily life is more impactful than an impressive church service.InspirationMatthew 5:13-1613 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.MessageTitus 3:1-81 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, 2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone. 3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

I asked the universe for a sign that I was on the right path... and then came 11:11, Sharpshooter, and a freaking dragonfly.

Is writing a book hard? Today I'm flying solo to talk about the process of writing my first book, “The Core Value Equation,” where I tackled how core values create the ultimate decision-making engine for an organization that consistently produces spectacular results. Writing and publishing my own book has been on my bucket list for a long time until I made it happen in 2020. Now, looking back at the experience made me realize that anyone can write and publish their own book. It may sound like a daunting task, but it was personally one of the coolest projects I have ever done.  In this episode, I will be taking you behind the scene on how The Core Value Equation was born. You will also learn several tips on how to write your own book and the challenges and benefits of publishing one. Here are some of the things I get into: What pushed me to write The Core Value Equation. How I started the writing process by dictation. Why consistency matters in writing a book. The power of editing in creating and fine-tuning a book. Why most people write a book.  Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Thegreatnessmachine  Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Write a review for The Greatness Machine using this link: https://ratethispodcast.com/spreadinggreatness.
