"What if you train them and they leave?" It's the fear that quietly keeps most healthcare leaders from investing in their people. Matt Staub — CEO of Your Health — wants you to sit with the question his mentor once asked in return: What if you don't train them, and they stay? In this episode, Matt joins Jamie Preston for a conversation about why workforce education isn't a perk at Your Health — it's the culture. From nationally accredited apprenticeships, to a training pipeline built out of a licensing crisis, to the real people behind the success stories, this is a blueprint for leaders who want to grow something that lasts. Key topics covered: The lumberjack story: why sharpening your axe beats swinging harder every time How a shortage of licensed administrators became the catalyst for Your Health's training engine The shift from "education happens on your own time" to "this is how we behave" Real success stories — Olivia, Kristin, Taylor, McKinsey, Rebecca — and what they share Matt's three challenges for anyone ready to grow: show up, find your who, take your shot If you've ever wondered whether developing your people is worth the cost, this episode will change the math. Press play — then look around, and ask yourself who's looking at you.

From the viral LinkedIn post that questioned the value of bar associations, to the behind-the-scenes of building a thriving online community for lawyers, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways for association leaders. Ernie Svenson is a former New Orleans litigator who now helps solo and small-firm lawyers simplify their practices through automation, outsourcing, and practical tech. Known as “Ernie the Attorney,” he founded the Inner Circle, a membership community for lawyers seeking a simpler, more enjoyable practice.

Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.comAttend a Thriving Leader event: https://www.themomentumcompany.com/thrivingleader2026Instagram: @the.momentum.companyLinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this episode, Mark Jewell sits down with Greg Mills, a seasoned agribusiness executive and leadership consultant with over 25 years at ADM and a deep background in crop insurance, organizational culture, and global food systems.Greg unpacks what it means to be an intentional leader inside a large corporation — where predictability and scale often come at the expense of innovation and connection. From building culture and clarity across continents to navigating droughts, crises, and corporate resistance to change, Greg shares hard-earned lessons on leading with integrity, trust, and purpose.This conversation is a masterclass on how intentional leaders create alignment, drive engagement, and steward both people and mission in an industry that feeds the world.Key Takeaways:1. Culture Always Comes FirstGreg reminds us that “culture eats strategy for lunch.” A high-trust culture accelerates execution far faster than rules and processes ever could. When people understand and believe in the mission, alignment replaces micromanagement.2. Clarity Is the Leader's Greatest ResponsibilityLeaders often assume clarity after saying something twice — but true clarity requires consistent communication, repetition, and modeling. “If your team doesn't understand the mission, it's not their fault — it's yours.”3. Leadership Is Proven When the Lights Aren't OnReal culture is revealed in the quiet moments. Greg's story about unloading safety equipment for adjusters after hours reminds us that credibility is built in small, unseen actions that show you're willing to do the work yourself.4. Strategic Thinking Requires Permission to PauseMany leaders feel guilty for taking time to think strategically, but that stillness is essential. Greg and Mark discuss how proactive strategy — not reactive firefighting — is what sets intentional organizations apart.5. Build Environments That Encourage OwnershipFrom empowering crop insurance adjusters to create “the perfect claim process” to recognizing local heroes across continents, Greg's approach centers on engagement. Leaders don't just manage tasks — they create the conditions for others to lead.Notable Quotes:“Culture eats strategy for lunch.” – Greg Mills“Clarity is a leading indicator of success.” – Mark Jewell“The most important job for an intentional leader is to create an environment where everyone understands the mission — and how their work fulfills it.” – Greg Mills“Leaders read, and readers lead.” – Greg Mills“Intentional leadership doesn't happen 15 minutes before the meeting. It's thought out, repeated, and lived daily.” – Greg MillsAction Steps:Audit your culture: Is it defined by trust, clarity, and ownership?Develop your own “stump speech” — the consistent message that ties every decision and meeting back to your mission.Make time to think strategically each week; sharpen your saw before leading others to do the same.Choose one way this month to model servant leadership when no one's watching.Pick up one of Greg's recommended...

On this episode of On the Brink, I sat down with Dr. Max Teplitski—Chief Science Officer at the International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA)—to explore how a  mindset is reshaping food safety, member value, and the future of a global industry. Max has practiced Blue Ocean thinking since his days as a professor, and today he's applying it at scale across a trade association that represents the entire fresh produce supply chain—from seed and inputs to retailers worldwide. From Competing to Creating: IFPA's Three Strategic Pillars Rather than fighting for attention in crowded "red oceans," IFPA reframed growth around three pillars that create new value for members and consumers alike: Future-proofing the industry amid climate volatility, supply chain complexity, and labor constraints. Worldwide influence for a global industry, recognizing interconnected markets and trade rules. Personalized member experience at scale—so each company (and individual) gets relevant, timely insight. This is classic Blue Ocean Strategy®: reduce what no longer adds value, eliminate legacy activities that drain resources, raise what customers truly care about, and create new offerings that unlock demand. Want a concise primer? Read our FAQ: What is Blue Ocean Strategy and Why It's the Smartest Way to Rethink Growth Personalization at Scale: AI That Stays Inside the (Trusted) Data One of IFPA's boldest moves is an AI-powered intelligence engine built on verified, curated data. Members can ask context-rich questions—"I'm in the Florida Panhandle planting winter crops; should I prioritize Asian greens, spinach, or baby lettuce?"—and receive synthesized answers spanning consumer trends, point-of-sale data, and operational considerations. The goal isn't more email; it's relevance on demand. This same platform enables on-demand micro-training. Need a five-minute safety huddle for a harvest crew—in Portuguese? The agent can generate it instantly from vetted guidance. That's value innovation: meeting real-world needs at the moment of work. Watch our video here Food Safety as a Promise—and a System Because most fresh produce is consumed raw, food safety is a shared responsibility between the producer and the consumer. IFPA's "supply chain of the future" work extends beyond traceability to quality, shelf-life, and incentives. With lot-level tracking and standardized practices—from field handwashing stations to controlled processing protocols—the industry continues to elevate both safety and transparency while extracting actionable value from the data generated along the way. Advocacy and a Community of Practice Some work will never be outsourced to algorithms. Advocacy—telling the industry's story to regulators and decision-makers—remains human, relational, and essential. In parallel, IFPA is designing a community of practice for food safety and sustainability professionals. Whether virtual, in-person, or hybrid, the north star is the same: connect practitioners to share what works, accelerate learning, and scale innovation. Culture Eats Strategy (and Then Powers It) Max underscores a truth we see in every successful transformation: strategy only sticks when culture supports it. IFPA treats culture as a system—meeting quarterly to practice competencies such as trust, communication, and agility, and to build behaviors into everyone's plan. That operating rhythm makes it easier to reduce or eliminate legacy programs and redirect resources toward higher-value offerings without losing the organization in the process. Three Takeaways You Can Use Now Stop competing; start creating. Use the Four Actions Framework to eliminate, reduce, raise, and build around what your customers actually value. Deliver relevance at the moment of need. Move from content push to context-aware personalization (AI helps when it's grounded in trustworthy data). Design for culture change, not just strategy change. Build the muscle—trust, communication, and agility—so your team can live the strategy. Blue Ocean Strategy isn't about inventing the next iPhone; it's about assembling a thoughtful portfolio that meets unmet needs better, faster, and more sustainably than the market expects. IFPA's journey shows how nonprofits and associations can open new market space—not by shouting louder, but by serving smarter.

Send us a textPat Bailey opens up about his remarkable 42-year baseball coaching journey that culminated in two national championships at Oregon State and D3 George Fox University. With a career spanning high school, Division III, and Division I baseball, Bailey offers a treasure trove of wisdom on what truly builds consistent winners.Bailey's approach to recruiting and team-building is refreshingly countercultural. "Culture eats strategy for breakfast," he explains, detailing his three non-negotiable criteria: character, work ethic, and selflessness. This philosophy led him to prioritize high-achieving students (rarely recruiting players with GPAs below 3.5) and team-first personalities. The results speak for themselves—a whopping 813 collegiate wins and a pipeline of MLB talent including Adley Rutschman, Michael Conforto, and Stephen Kwan.For coaches, Bailey delivers practical gold on outfield development, comparing outfielders to defensive backs in football where mistakes often cost multiple bases or even games. His systematic approach includes daily route work and structured drills to develop complete outfielders. When it comes to hitting, Bailey emphasizes attitude over mechanics: "Hitting is attitude, attitude, attitude," followed by approach and strike zone management.Perhaps most compelling is Bailey's perspective on purpose. "Coaching is not about me. It's about helping other people and having an impact," he shares, explaining how he used baseball merely as a vehicle to develop young men of character. After retiring from coaching in 2020, Bailey now works with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, continuing his life's mission outside the dugout.Whether you're coaching Little League or college baseball, Bailey's parting wisdom resonates: "Capture an athlete's heart and you capture the athlete." His legacy proves that when you focus on developing the person first, the championships often follow.Support the show Follow: Twitter | Instagram @Athlete1Podcast https://www.athlete1.net Sponsor: The Netting Professionals https://www.nettingpros.com

Transcript:Hello, this is Pastor Don Willeman of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective. Someone has well said: “Culture Eats Strategy for Lunch”. By culture we mean those shared values, truths, and ways of operating that define a group of people. Culture is something “organic”, not merely organizational. Like the “culture” in a petri dish, it has a life of its own. It's alive! It is not only a matter of structures, strategies, etc.—as important as those are—but the “feel” or “vibe” that exudes from it. CRC is a culture. We belong to Christ and are nourished by His life dwelling in us and flowing through us. But cultures are made up of individual members—giving and taking in this shared life. We are not only influenced by the culture of the church, but also contributing to it. Every thought, word, and deed that is done—or left undone—matters! In a culture, how every individual member operates plays a part in making the whole. This forces the question: If everyone in the church thought, felt, spoke, and operated the way you do (or don't do), what would the resulting culture be? 1 Corinthians 12 uses the metaphor of the human body, with of each individual member playing its peculiar part. But each member is not operating for itself, but for the “common good” of the body (1 Corinthians 12:7). How are you operating? Something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.~1 Corinthians 12:4-27 (ESV)

We've all heard Peter Drucker's famous quote, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." But what does it really take to build a workplace culture that drives both people and performance? In this episode of Mission First People Always, Dr. Mike Patterson sits down with culture expert Andrea Wanerstrand to uncover the key elements of creating a thriving, human-centric workplace. Dr. Mike welcomes Andrea Wanerstrand, Founder & CEO of A3 CultureLab, a leadership speaker, coach, and consultant who helps organizations—from startups to Fortune 500 companies—design extraordinary workplace cultures. With a background in global performance management at companies like Microsoft and T-Mobile, Andrea shares insights on fostering a workplace where people feel valued, autonomous, and accountable. Andrea breaks down what it means to have a human-centric workplace, emphasizing the importance of how work gets done, how leaders make others feel, and how trust is built. She explains that culture isn't just about perks or policies—it's about how people interact, communicate, and show up every day. Throughout the conversation, Andrea offers practical advice for leaders, including how to balance empathy with authority, create autonomous teams, and encourage a culture of accountability without fear. She also shares details about her upcoming coaching program, Mindset Maven, designed to help high-achievers develop mental and physical resilience. Key Takeaways: Culture is about the "how," not just the "what"—how work is done, how people feel, and how trust is built. Human-centric leadership requires balancing empathy with authority to foster both people and performance. Autonomous teams thrive on accountability—leaders must set expectations, provide trust, and encourage transparency. Accountability isn't a bad word—it's about taking ownership, getting credit for success, and learning from setbacks. Your energy affects your leadership—Andrea recommends an energy audit to identify when you're at your best and schedule key conversations accordingly. Andrea Wanerstrand's insights remind us that leadership is about creating environments where people can thrive. Whether you're a new manager or a seasoned executive, understanding and shaping culture is key to long-term success.

In this episode, Dr. Wes Eggett breaks down the 5 Lies of Culture, a concept taught by Ginger Hardage, and explains why these misconceptions can hold businesses—and dental practices—back from reaching their full potential. He dives into how culture isn't just about perks or mission statements on the wall, but about the daily leadership actions that shape a thriving team.Dr. Eggett challenges the idea that culture is someone else's job, emphasizing that every team member, from the front desk to the operatory, plays a role in shaping the patient experience and work environment. He also tackles the fear that empowering employees leads to losing control—when in reality, giving people ownership within a structured framework leads to stronger teams and better results. Finally, he dispels the myth that culture is expensive, offering practical, low-cost strategies that any dental office can use to build engagement, retention, and a more positive workplace.If you've ever wondered why some workplaces thrive while others struggle with morale and turnover, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to cultivate a strong, values-driven culture in your dental practice—without waiting for someone else to do it.

Does "culture eats strategy for breakfast" apply to IT?

Culture eats strategy for breakfast: Focusing on building a high-performance, self-accountable culture will transform your business and life. In this enlightening podcast episode, co-hosts Wendy Sellers and JC are joined by guest Wayne Mullins, a marketing expert, the founder of Ugly Mug Marketing, and the author of Full Circle Marketing. Mullins brings to the forefront the pivotal role of workplace culture in determining an organization's success. Quoting famously that "culture eats strategy for breakfast", Mullins shares his regrets from the past where he once deemed culture as subsidiary, stating that this failing mindset can lead to the formation of a mediocre workplace environment. Mullins highlights the silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic, pointing at its role in underscoring the necessity of fostering a healthy culture within teams despite the challenges. He also credits the younger generation as being instrumental in pushing for businesses that emphasize their employees' wellness as much as their client services. For new team leaders aiming to nourish a beneficial team environment, Mullins shares helpful advice in the form of four decisive questions every leader must address: 'Where are we going?', 'Why does this matter?', 'What is expected of them?', and 'How and when will you measure my performance?'. This episode serves as an insightful guide for those in managerial roles or for anyone aspiring to be an effective leader. It emphasizes the role of culture, clear vision, and employee satisfaction in carving the path to organizational success.

“Leadership starts with you leading yourself. If you cannot lead yourself, do not dream to lead other people. If you are given a position to lead other people without leading you, you will cause more problems.” —Wale Adekanla Effective leadership is the lifeblood of any successful organization.

At their core, great leaders understand that leadership is not about titles or positions, but rather about one's ability to consistently add value, solve problems, and empower others.  This week, Wale Adekanla joins Daniel to share insights applicable to any stage of leadership. Wale is an international executive coach, business consultant, and author. He has worked with leaders across various industries, helping to develop individuals and organizations through customized mentorship programs.

As one of the new intake of Welsh parliamentarians who were elected in the 2021 election, Sam Rowlands MS represents a new generation of Welsh Conservatives in the Senedd and combines his role as regional MS for North Wales with a shadow ministerial brief of local government and the role of policy director for the party. In our first interview with Sam, we discuss everything from the importance of local government, Senedd reform and regional representation, trying to enact members' bills in the Senedd, and the consequences of nearly 25 years of continuous Labour-led governments.

Have you ever heard this catchy phrase: culture eats strategy for breakfast? So what does it mean? Does it apply to your workplace? Does it apply to your church?

Show Notes:  Grant is a graduate of Brown University and is finishing his executive program at Harvard Business School. He is a Young President's Organization (YPO) Member. He is the managing director of Benevolent Capital. Montgomery Securities – Institutional sales program   First non-MBA member to be hired in the program.  “Sometimes it is about timing. Sometimes it is about who you know more than anything else!”  Grant has his securities licenses and his series 7, 79, 63, and 24 as a financial banker.  Venture Capital is for very early-stage companies to help them get off the ground.  Private Equity is generally for later-stage companies looking to grow or transition.  Grant became a “Sherpa” at Montgomery Securities   (9:00) One of his first tests early in his career was to see if he had the ability to tell people that he didn't know the answer. Always tell the truth and be honest.  Don't be afraid to apply for jobs where you don't have all the skills. Skills can be taught. Hiring managers are looking for character, integrity, honesty, interpersonal skills, and communication skills.   (12:45) Grant highlights a learning experience as the captain of his crew team when he lost a position in the first boat.  “Sometimes out of the bad comes the great!”   You really learn about yourself and life when things go wrong.  Covid presented a learning and growing opportunity for us all.  (17:45) Why is tenacity so important?  Why did Montgomery Securities start by only hiring Athletes?  (24:00) When Warren Buffet is wrong he is barely wrong but when he is right BIG and for a long time.  Why did Grant leave Greenwich, Connecticut, and New York City?  Wanted a state with no state income tax  A friend told him to check out Baylor School in Chattanooga, TN Chattanooga was voted “Best small town” in America twice.  (34:45) Grant's advice to his daughters “Free to be you, free to be me.”  (40:00) “Our country needs the ability to have more debate.”  (43:10) “You feel like we are fighting and arguing and I feel like we are finally communicating.” Grant uses a quote from the movie Jerry McGuire to help demonstrate a point on modern-day politics.  Do we believe in free speech and diversity and inclusion or do we not? Today many only believe in this as long as you agree with them.  (54:00) How to build a company with a billion in revenue?  The importance of a robust board  Your customers are raving evangelists for your product or service  “Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast.” – Peter Drucker  (55:00) How is Grant training his daughters to have success in life? Mixed Martial Arts   Best Day Brewing – Non-Alcoholic Beer and Athletic Brewing – Are two of the companies that Grant's firm has invested in.  An SPV – Special Purpose Vehicle for each investment in Benevolent Capital  They charge NO management fees for the investments in their fund. (The Traditional "2 and 20")...  Plus they give all investors a 100% preferred return before they get paid.  This is very different from most investment firms.  For us to make an investment in a company we need to believe in the company and we have to want to be an evangelist for the product or service.  Brett Johnson was running the family business (Targus Computer Accessory Company) and during that time frame after working with PE firms they decided when it was time for them to start their own investment firm they would do it differently. “We don't need the management fees to be motivated to be successful.”   Why did they invest in Orua Ring?  How do they do due diligence in companies they invest in?  Believe in the product – Great Products  Teams when championships. Who is the management team?  Is this in an A or C industry?  What is the exit? How so you exit the investment?  Either a big company needs to buy the product or they are buying it so it doesn't fall into the hands of their competitor.  Many times the price they will pay to prevent their competitor from getting it is higher than if they just want it for themselves.  (1:26:30) How did Grant and Brett Johnson get involved in Professional Soccer in the United States and Great Britain?   How has the Ted Lasso show helped Professional Soccer?  Best Day Brewing is an official sponsor of Professional Pickle Ball!  (1:38:00) Grant Johnson's State of the Union Address to the American People “Good, Better, Best. Never let it rest until your good is your better and your better is your best!”   Book Recommendation   Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork – Dan Sullivan  Blueprint to a Billion: 7 Essentials to Achieve Exponential Growth – David Thomson  Follow Bob Dickie on Twitter @RobertDickieFollow "Taking the Leap Podcast" on Youtube.com
