He and Costin discuss the fundamental role of cold outreach in sales, a strategy both believe to be the backbone of a thriving business.Harari also offers insights into team structure, sales strategy, and leadership principles.

He believes in treating regional sales leaders as CEOs of their respective territories, empowering them to take full ownership of their success. Transparency is a major pillar of his management style, ensuring that everyone on the team is aware of each other's activities and progress.Costin and Harari dive into leadership philosophies, emphasizing availability, urgency, and focus. Harari makes it a priority to be present and accessible to his team, believing that being in the trenches with them is crucial to fostering a high-performance culture. He highlights the importance of culture in retaining top talent, arguing that while compensation is critical, the daily work environment and career development opportunities are just as important.The conversation also touches on innovation in asset management, with Harari warning that firms that fail to adapt to changing market demands risk irrelevance. He stresses that constant evolution, whether through new product structures or sales techniques, is necessary for long-term success.The episode closes with advice for young professionals entering the industry—read extensively, observe experienced colleagues, and develop a unique voice.

Until next time, may God bless you. MANUSCRIPT: FIRST SEGMENT Warren: Hello everybody. I'm Warren Smith, coming to you this week from Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Natasha: And I'm Natasha Cowden, coming to you from Denver, Colorado, and we'd like to welcome you to the MinistryWatch podcast. Warren: On today's program, Dr. Burk Parsons of Ligonier Ministries has been suspended from pastoral duties at St. Andrew's Chapel, where he is senior pastor. He is now under investigation by the Central Florida Presbytery. We'll have details. And, Elevation Church has fired its youth pastor amid allegations of sexual misconduct from a decade ago. We'll take a look. Also, after 16 months of wrangling and civil suits, Beverly Heights Presbyterian Church in Pennsylvania has officially left the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Natasha: But first, a former Liberty University employee is suing the school for discrimination and retaliation. Warren: A former professor and investigator at Liberty University has filed a federal lawsuit against the school and its leaders for discrimination and retaliation under Title IX, the Uniformed Services Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), and the Virginia Whistleblower Protection Law. Peter Brake is a Liberty graduate and an attorney who served for over 20 years as a U.S. Army Judge Advocate. He was employed in 2019 as a full-time Civil Rights Investigator in Liberty's Office of Equity and Compliance/Title IX and as an adjunct professor. While employed at Liberty, Brake took a 3½-year leave of absence starting in January 2020 to serve active duty with the U.S. Army. He had moved to reserve military duty at this point. Natasha: What happened? Warren: According to the lawsuit, Brake's absence was referred to by Liberty administrators as a “problem” because they were required to hold his position while he served in the U.S. Army. Upon his return in October 2023, Brake claims he suffered discrimination in violation of the USERRA. Brake also claims he was fired after making “good faith reports” about violations of Title IX and the Clery Act at Liberty. Natasha: In November 2023, Brake claims he told Liberty President Dondi Costin about the Title IX office ignoring grievance procedure requirements, noting that some cases had been sitting idle for a year without resolution. Warren: In an email exchange with Costin, Costin allegedly assured Brake that “your leadership understands that retaliation is not allowed around here, so don't give that possibility another thought.” After Liberty reached a settlement agreement of $14 million for Clery Act violations, Brake said he reported more violations. He was then allegedly subjected to a “humiliating and unusual interrogation” by Liberty's human resources department and other harassment. In May, Brake filed complaints with the U.S. Department of Education against Liberty and filed a Title IX complaint. Brake was fired in June.

Carolyn Costin is one of the most well-known names in eating disorder recovery treatment. Her book, Eight Keys to Recovery from an Eating Disorder, is a pioneering work that was published more than a decade ago and is still regarded as a central text in the field. Some people think of eating disorders in terms of addiction, with programs to actively get drugs, alcohol, and other addictions out of one's life. The problem is you can't do that with food: “You have to learn how to deal with it”, says Carolyn. “It's very different.” Her eight keys provide insights and steps for facing the daunting task of recovery. From her own lived experience, and extensive work in the field, Carolyn clarifies the overarching topics for us to work through and come to the other side of this illness. In fact, she's had a hand in numerous initiatives to progress full recovery throughout her career. She developed the first residential treatment centre in the United States that has been replicated in other countries, including Australia. She's also training recovery coaches to address the very real gaps in care. Carolyn is perennially interesting, and her message of hope is always enlightening.
