Welcome to the Together 4 Good podcast!In this week's episode, Pastor Nate dives into the complicated intersection of religion and politics and why we need to talk about both. While these topics are often labeled “too divisive” for polite conversation, Nate offers a different vision—one grounded in humility, compassion, and the Gospel message.He explores how faith informs our values and civic life, how churches can speak into political issues without endorsing candidates, and what it means to be a people guided first by Christ and not by party lines.What you'll learn in this episode:Why religion and politics feel so personal and polarizingHow Jesus was deeply political without being partisanA faithful way to approach civic life rooted in love and humilityThe role of church in a divided cultureWhy conversations (not silence) are crucial for spiritual growthLinks and Resources:

In this episode, Maureen reflects on the gap so many justice-centered organizations face between what they say they value—and how it actually feels to work inside them.She explores the concept of Intersectional Integrity as a practice—not of perfection, but of presence.You'll hear reflections on:What it means to lead from alignment rather than collapseHow shame functions as a tool of white supremacy cultureWhy relational accountability begins with honesty about ourselvesMaureen also shares a deeply personal story about her time in these organizations—naming how power, shame, and internalized white supremacy shaped her behavior, and how she's learning to return to her values with more care, embodiment, and truth.This episode uplifts the voices of Black women (shout out to EbonyJanice who taught me to "Listen to Black women") who have long modeled this kind of integrity through rest, ritual, reflection, and refusal—including Tricia Hersey, Rev. angel Kyodo williams, Ashley Marshall, and more.This is not a call-out. It's a calling back. Into honesty. Into alignment. Into grace.Links + Resources:Learn more or bring your team into this work Subscribe to the weekly newsletter for tools, reflections, and practice promptscultivatingintersectionalleadership.comThis week´s reflections:Where in your work are you moving in overwhelm and/or on autopilot—and what would it take to pause and explore the impact of that on your choices, intentions, and (re)actions?How do your experiences with intersecting identities—both targeted and non-targeted—shape how you show up, protect yourself, or take on responsibility?In the midst of urgency, pressure, or fatigue, what might shift if you were fully in integrity with your beliefs and values?Support the show

David Ko is the CEO and board member of Calm, the #1 app for sleep, meditation, and mindfulness. A former healthcare executive and tech operator, David previously served as COO of Zynga, held senior roles at Yahoo!, and founded a healthtech company acquired by Calm. He is the bestselling author of Recharge, and has been recognized by TIME, LinkedIn, RockHealth, and NYU Stern for his leadership in digital health.What you'll learn:How David transitioned from gaming to healthcare through mission-driven insightThe real story behind Calm's evolution from sleep and meditation to global mental healthWhy David uses “battery level” as a tool for checking in at workHow leaders can model vulnerability without sacrificing authorityWhy burnout stems from poor workload management, not just long hoursThe power of shared purpose in turbulent timesHow Calm uses rituals like Jay Shetty meditations and Zoom-free days to reinforce its cultureWhy sleep, diet, and presence are core to David's leadership performanceHow transparency builds trust even when the news isn't goodWhy the conversation around mental health needs to start at the topSome takeaways:➡️ Stress is not the problem. Unchecked, unacknowledged stress is. Good stress can fuel resilience and performance.➡️ “How's your battery?” is a more meaningful check-in than “How are you?”➡️ Burnout often comes from lack of clarity and excessive task stacking, not too many hours.➡️ Leaders must explain the why behind priorities and remove as much as they assign. ➡️ Transparency about culture survey results builds psychological safety. ➡️ Rituals like 90-second meditations help reset and re-center teams. ➡️ Leadership can be lonely. Trusted colleagues make a critical difference. ➡️ Presence matters more than hours. Back-to-back meetings are not a badge of honor. ➡️ Sharing your own mental health journey is not weakness. It's how resilient teams are built. ➡️ “We take better care of our phone batteries than our mental health batteries.” Time to change that.Where to find David Ko:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daveko/ Calm: https://www.calm.comBook: Recharge: Boosting Your Mental Battery One Conversation at a TimePodcast: Recharge (available on major platforms)Connect with Alisa!

Episode Summary:[TW: sexual assault and sexual harm language]I am joined today by Rev. Dr. Danielle Tumminio Hansen to speak about the unspeakable. A theologian and Episcopal priest focusing on pastoral approaches to trauma, Hansen addresses the persistent crisis of sexual harm in the U.S., and the “haunting silence” of survivors. Why do most victims remain silent? Why don't we trust women? Why do we assume perpetrators of sexual harm are strangers who jump out of bushes instead of trusted boyfriends, pastors, teachers, or family members? How does our society's rape myths further silence victims of sexual harm?In this unflinching conversation, we discuss the difficulty of coming up with the right language to describe sexual harm, how the words we use often cause even more harm, how our legal system, churches, media, and culture are complicit in rape culture, and the practical steps you can take to recover.Talking about rape and sexual assault is difficult for a number of reasons. Victims often feel ashamed or stigmatized by society's attitudes towards sexual violence. There's a pervasive culture of victim-blaming, where survivors may fear they won't be believed or will be judged for what happened to them. Sexual violence can cause profound emotional and psychological trauma. Discussing the experience may trigger intense emotions, flashbacks, or other symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), making it incredibly challenging for survivors to talk about what happened.So, why this book and why this episode on rape? Because talking about rape and sexual assault breaks down layers of stigma, trauma, fear, and systemic barriers. It also has a direct impact on how we process trauma. Creating safe spaces for survivors to share their experiences, offer support, and challenge societal norms are crucial steps towards fostering open and meaningful conversations about sexual violence.Like many individuals, Hansen's story of sexual violence didn't come at the hands of a stranger, but rather by someone she knew, causing her to wonder if what happened to her really was sexual assault. “Statistically, you would be more likely to believe me if I said this person was someone I'd never met,” she writes. “Raised to believe stereotypes of what constituted ‘real rape'—forced intercourse in a physically violent attack by a male stranger—I did not have a word to express what had happened to me.” Now she does.In this episode we discuss:The rape myths of the “ideal” victim and “stranger perpetrator”How purity culture and porn perpetuate rape cultureWhy telling your story is liberating and healingMoving beyond stigma and shameThe road to recovery—how art, contemplation, meditation, community, and therapy can restore your sense of self, trust, and agency.Pick up Danielle's book here. It is an amazing read.Bio:Danielle Tumminio Hansen is Associate Professor of Practical Theology and Spiritual Care at Emory's Candler School of Theology, where she researches at the intersection of trauma, theology, narrative, and philosophy. Her book publications include Speaking of Rape: The Limits of Language in Sexual Violations and Conceiving Family: A Practical Theology of Surrogacy and Self.

How do you react when you hear the buzzword ‘culture'? If you're tempted to roll your eyes, it's probably because much of what we see online and in the workplace around culture is contrived. So, how do we build a genuinely strong culture in our teams—at home and at work? On this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, I discuss the power of building a strong culture, describing what differentiates a manufactured culture from one with genuine vulnerability and understanding. I explore how the Enneagram gives us a framework for building culture, explaining how the tool exposes cracks in company culture and why strategy won't work if your team can't appreciate their differences. Listen in for insight on making your team feel seen, heard, understood and valued—and learn how to build a bulletproof culture on your team using the blueprint of the Enneagram.

One of my favorite psychology papers of all time is called “Telling More than We Can Know” by Richard Nisbett and Timothy Wilson. The argument of the paper is that humans don't actually know why they do what they do. But they're more than happy to give you an explanation nonetheless.This the reason why we need a science of human behavior. If we could all just intuit the correct answers automatically, there'd be no need for researchers to figure them out. This provides a kind of template for how psychological research works: I got the human do something, and now I'm going to tell you why they did it.And cognitive science in particular is traditionally obsessed with explaining “why” in terms of one main concept: rationality. The human did the thing because it's a reasonable thing to do, once you take into account all the right information. And if the story is not so straightforward, then the deviation from rationality cries out for explanation. It is an account of human behavior that prioritizes practical function: we have the mental apparatus we have because it helps us succeed in the situations we're most likely to find ourselves. While this may be a useful explanation for behavior in the laboratory, things get more complicated once you start observing humans in the wild. What about all the stuff that isn't explainable by mere rational utility?Why, for instance, do I prefer some clothes over others? Why do I have a little piece of leather on my keychain when it neither holds keys nor opens doors? Why did I listen to the Men in Blazers soccer podcast religiously for two years, then suddenly forsake it entirely? Why do I insist, simply our of principle, on never drinking French wine?In other words: what's the “why” behind culture?This question is the impetus for the recent book by my guest today, W David Marx. David has lived in Japan for 19 years. His first book was Ametora: How Japan Saved American Style. For most of his career he has followed and written about Japanese culture and its influence on the West. His latest book, Status and Culture, is his effort to explain the mechanisms of cultural change: why we do what we do, when we don't need to do it.He calls this the “Grand Mystery of Culture”: Why do humans collectively prefer certain practices, and then, years later, move on to alternatives for no practical reason?This is where status comes in. David argues that it's the conceptual glue that holds together the parts of human behavior that aren't explained by rationality. How exactly it does that is the subject of our conversation.But the thing about status is that you can always have more of it. If, as David argues, we're all constantly chasing after status in one way or another, when does it stop? Is anyone ever satisfied with their status? Is the biggest fish in the pond happy? Or does she just want to find a bigger pond? Does status ever give us a sense of purpose or meaning? Or is it just empty calories? We get into a lot of this throughout the conversation. Yet, for me, reading David's book raised as many questions as it answered.Status and Culture is an entry in the genre of Epic Theory. It seeks to explain everything. Doing so requires that one leaves out quite a bit, especially when the book weighs in at a svelte 275 pages of full text. But there's something about David's book which makes me really love it: It is an academic book that isn't written by an academic. Reading it, one gets the feeling that the reader is hearing from someone who has actually been out there in the world and lived a little bit. David reads. (A lot.) But it doesn't feel like he spends his days cooped up in a library. When he talks about culture, you know you're hearing from someone who has participated in it—not just theorized about it. He's not trying to explain why those other people over there are into one fashion trend and not another; he's trying to explain the fashion trends which he's seen in his own social circles.Ultimately, perhaps David, like all of us, is guilty of telling more than he can know. Do the mechanics of status really explain all of culture? I don't know. Maybe it is all about status. Maybe it's not. But I'll keep that little piece of leather on my keychain, just in case.David's new book is Status and Culture: How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion, and Constant Change. It's out now.At the end of each episode, I ask my guest about three books that have most influenced their thinking. Here are David's picks:* One for All: The Logic of Group Conflictby Russell Hardin (1995)Little known but mind blowing; the theory also explains fashions really well.* The Anxiety of Influence: A Theory of Poetryby Harold Bloom (1973)Art as a process of being influenced by and attempting to influence. A classic.* For a Critique of the Political Economy of the Signby Jean Baudrillard (1972)Incisive investigation into the reason why things are valued. The denser French theory precursor to David's Status and Culture.Books by David:* 2022: Status and Culture: How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion, and Constant Change* 2015: Ametora: How Japan Saved American Style(I hope you find something good for your next read.

When you choose to step into conversations about racism you risk giving up your comfort and the illusion of control on how you are seen.In essence, when you choose to speak up against injustice you are inviting discomfort.And inviting discomfort is an affront to all the ways you protect yourself from harm. Yet when you befriend your discomfort instead of letting it shut you down, you can navigate the vulnerability of potentially being misunderstood. The polarities that come up around wanting to say the right thing, but not be performative or not wanting to center yourself, but be authentic and true are real and can also shut you down.Sometimes it seems best to just stay quiet. Taking the time to pause and not just react is important, especially in our hyper-responsive world. But indefinite silence is never ok when harm is being done. Self-leadership helps you lead yourself with more confidence and clarity through the vulnerable and awkward moments. And collective efforts are always better than individual ones. You can best advocate when you have community, clarity, and a plan. Today's guest literally wrote a book on how to talk about race to your boss at work that is practical, actionable, and really, really helpful. Y-Vonne Hutchinson is the author of How to Talk to Your Boss About Race and CEO of ReadySet, a diversity and inclusion training firm that helps tech giants, political leaders, media outlets, and Fortune 500 companies speak more productively about racism and turn talk into action.To date, ReadySet has worked with hundreds of companies around the world to build, manage, and grow diverse teams. In a former life, prior to founding ReadySet, she worked as an international labor and human rights lawyer for nearly a decade.Listen to the full episode to hear:The impact of performance attribution bias on people of color in the workforceWhy Y-Vonne says work, identity, and race are so intertwined in our cultureWhy emphasizing unconscious bias and individual actions alone can't create sustainable systemic change How movement language gets co-opted and why leaders need to prepare for backlashHow identity, social location and position can impact your strategy for speaking up at workLearn more about Y-Vonne Hutchinson:ReadySetHow to Talk to Your Boss About Race: Speaking Up Without Getting Shut DownTwitter: @ReadySetIncConnect with Y-Vonne and ReadySet on LinkedInLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Resmaa MenakemKimberlé CrenshawCapital and Ideology,Thomas Piketty and Arthur GoldhammerHow to Raise an Amazing Child the Montessori Way,by Tim Seldin90-Day Fiancé"We Don't Talk About Bruno"Coming to America

Attacks against the truth and reliability of Scripture are commonplace. Skeptical scholars have become mainstream, entertainment media mocks believers, and YouTube and podcasting have given a platform to just about anyone wanting to promote their arguments against Scripture and the Christian faith.Many of these attacks focus on a single assertion: the Bible is an ancient book written and assembled by flawed men with particular agendas.So can we trust that what is contained in the Bible is really God's Word? Listen as we speak with Bible scholar and translator Dr. Bill Mounce about why we can trust the Bible and the truth claims it makes.On this episode we'll discuss:Common questions believers and non-believers ask about the reliability of ScriptureWhy skepticism is increasing in today's cultureWhy believers should not shy away from having and asking sincere questionsHow we can be better equipped to answer tough questionsReasons we can trust the reliability of our BiblesWhy Dr. Mounce personally trusts his BibleSee the Show Notes at ReasonableTheology.org/Episode43Thanks for listening!

What You Will Learn: How Cody's career led him to become a financial advisor and co-founding a business, and what early challenges he faced, and lessons he learned as an entrepreneur How Cody and his teamwork to help small business owners who “happen to be financial advisors” Why the biggest challenge Cody faced as an entrepreneur was learning to let go of responsibility and develop his delegation skills How the process of learning to delegate worked for Cody, and why it's crucial to make sure that the person you're delegating to is able to do the job the way you want it done Why delegating responsibility also means offering accountability, and why Cody had to learn to clearly define expectations How Cody learned to work in the business less and to work on the business through strategic planning and looking to the future Why Cody attributes the growth and success of Advisors Excel to hiring great people and investing in their growth How the leader that manages all of Advisors Excel's digital marketing efforts started with the company as an intern, and why promoting from within has proven a winning strategy Why overhiring for a position is an unexpected pitfall, and why it's crucial that your new hires fit with your company's Culture Why it's usually obvious within a short time if someone isn't a great Culture fit for your organization, and why you need to address it quickly About Cody Foster Cody Foster is one of the co-founders of Advisors Excel. In 2004, after leaving a corporate job to partner with David Callanan to be independent financial advisors, he realized the support system for independent advisors was dramatically insufficient. So, in 2005, along with third partner Derek Thompson, they formed Advisors Excel with a goal of building a world-class support structure for independent financial advisors across the country. Today they have over 650 employees and are responsible for generating over $7 billion in annual sales. Their success in achieving this has led to their story being featured in Success Magazine, Darren Hardy's book “The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster” and Tony Robbins' #1 New York Times bestselling book, “Money, Master the Game.” Cody graduated from Washburn University in 1999 and has made Topeka his home ever since. He is a big believer in the future of the capital city of Kansas – having served as the Chairman of the Greater Topeka Partnership and a leading investor and developer in quality of life initiatives including The Cyrus Hotel, The Pennant, and Iron Rail Brewing. As much as he enjoys business, his real love is family. Cody, and his wife Jennifer, a Topeka native and fellow Washburn graduate, have been married since 2001 and have two children, Dylan and Ella.

It's easy to assume that other people experience the world the way we do. More specifically, it's very easy for Caucasian managers to assume that their colleagues of colour face the same basic set of challenges they do. On one level that's true: The work itself is the same. Brown managers have to make their numbers, motivate employees, hire and fire, and plan for the future. But on another level, these managers frequently contend with an atmosphere of tension, instability, and distrust that can be so frustrating they lose the desire to contribute fully or do their best work; they may even drop out altogether.

Companies of all types have been placing a heavy emphasis on inbound lead strategies for the past few years. While some may argue inbound is the key to sustainable sales success, others point to the lack of control of your pipeline. Many sales leaders wonder if the inbound mentality is creating a culture of less-effective salespeople who can only close leads that are served to them on a silver platter. For the long-term success of your company and its salespeople, is outbound sales the real game changer?  We discuss this loaded question with Skip Miller, President of M3 Learning and author of Outbounding: Win New Customers with Outbound Sales and End Your Dependence on Inbound Leads, on this episode of the Modern Sales Management Podcast.  After the uncertainty Covid-19 has created, Skip says we can’t bank on always having low-hanging fruit ripe for your sales team to pick.

How is your company culture looking? Worried that it's taken a hit during the ongoing pandemic? What can you do to stop your best employees leaving? Who better to provide the answers to these questions than the doyenne of culture herself, Melissa Daimler. Melissa cut her teeth at Adobe, Twitter and latterly, WeWork, leading their learning and development efforts globally. Today she helps organisations, predominantly tech firms in Silicon Valley, operationalise their culture.“There's just a lot of companies who are now realising having seen the downfall of WeWork and other companies that if you don't pay attention to that [company culture], you know, things fall apart on the business side.”In today's episode, Melissa shares her thoughts on company culture and her model for how to make culture real in an organisation and how you take a value statement, and how you then turn that value statement into a set of behaviours that you overlay with performance expectations. “Make sure that if you have values, that they're not just values on a wall, that they're actually behaviours that you can see and experience in the daily workings of the company. And if that's not true don't even have them. Don't bother.”We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.  On today's podcast:Operationalising your cultureWhy culture isn't ‘the fuzzy stuff'The impact of culture on employee churnThe theme of bad meetingsEmbracing remote workingHow to maintain company culture in this new normalLinks:Why Leadership Development Has to Happen on the Job

What would it feel like to wake up every day, knowing you would spend your day doing the work you were created to do - and doing it at an exceptional level? Almost every creative dreams of finding ultimate fulfillment and personal satisfaction as they pursue their goals - only to find themselves stuck in the mud of indecision, mediocrity, and confusion when it comes to mastering their craft. This is the problem serial entrepreneur, best-selling author, podcaster and thought leader Jordan Raynor has dedicated his life to solving. From working in the White House, to speaking at Harvard, TEDx and SxSW,  he has spent the better part of his adult life helping the church to use their gifts in the marketplace  to glorify God and to love others - and he's not afraid to call out the persistent misguided mindsets that keep that from happening. After years of going through his ‘jack of all trades' season, Jordan decided to dedicate his life to faith and entrepreneurship. His first book, Called to Create, was a nationwide best seller. His devotionals on YouVersion are downloaded by thousands of users, and he and his team have impacted more than 1,000,000 Christians to do their most exceptional work for the glory of God and the good of others.In this immensely practical and thought-provoking interview, Jordan lays out the case for Christian artists, creatives and musicians to pursue a singular calling - even if it means doing a lot of exploring along the way. He takes on the faulty mindset of labeling “Christian art”, and he paints a powerful picture of the blessed and fulfilling career you could have if you are brave enough to become a “Master of One”. Key Topics Jordan covers in this interview: Why being a master is underappreciated in our current cultureWhy he believes mediocrity is offensive to the character of God When being a jack of all trades isn't necessarily a bad thing How legendary masters like C.S. Lewis and Fred Rogers became beloved by both Christians and non-Christians Why you have to cut your losses if things don't work Why he doesn't believe that materially success should be our primary goal as believers Why we should be wary of the mindset of  instant gratification The term that Jordan wants to wipe out from Christian culture Connect with Jordan RaynorThe Call to Mastery Podcast JordanRaynor.comCalled to CreateMaster of One Jordan's YouVersion DevotionalsJordan's InstagramOther Resources Learn about The 4 Questions you need to ask before going Full-Time in Arts and EntertainmentDownload our free Checklist to radically improve your livestreaming concerts Make your LiveStream an OMG!

If, like us, you are captivated by the inspiring actions of a select few individuals who are devoted to save the planet, then you want to listen to this podcast with Ulf Stenerhag, the Swedish entrepreneur who doesn’t believe passion is driving him in his quest to bring about change for the future generations, but a sense of compassion and responsibility.Because that is the kind of man Ulf is: understated, not a self publicist. In fact, for his latest venture, Wayout, they haven’t actually launched it yet publicly, because they’re too busy just getting on with, well, getting on with it. “We are, let's say hard, hard working people, working more on deploying, rather than to shout about it. And there is also a reason for that, we want to make sure that everything works out fine before we go very, very public.”But Ulf shouldn’t fear failure. This is a guy who is the CEO of Thurne Teknik, a Nordic Tech Trade company with many years of experience in leading international and industrial sales organisation. A man who has built up significant experience creating value-based corporate cultures in challenging global business environments. The founder of Not For Sale Ale, a company built for social impact and a beer where 100% of profits is invested in the fight against modern slavery. No, Ulf is a one man war on creating change, and his ‘just get on with it’ attitude is inspirational. “If you want to do important things in this life, first start, then continue.”In this podcast:Why a lack of courage stymies activityWhy people separate their agenda in their professional life from their personal lifeWhat we can learn from the world’s smallest petrol stationHow to build company cultureWhy the most important thing for companies is to figure out their purposeThe importance of letting employees explore their own personal valuesWhy the world needs leadership, hope and bravery most right nowIf you want to do important things in this life, first start, then continue.
