Are You a Do-Gooder or a Good Doer? This is a really important concept to contemplate and to consider in your life. In the most basic sense, so many people are out there trying to do good, but they're doing it from a consciousness of fear, of separation, or of projection. It's like an unhealed healer, or an angry activist. This is the key here. They've been wounded on some level early on in their life. That core wound really is a core initiation, and it really is pointing them in the direction of where they are meant to get stronger and ultimately make an impact in their life or in the greater world. For example, let's say you were abused as a child, and you grow up having such pain around any form of violence or abuse. Your reaction to it is anger, sadness, bitterness, contempt towards those that perpetrate it, and you have very little, to no, compassion for those that are so caught in their own darkness that they would perpetrate such violence. You're still the wounded little child that now just perhaps inhabits an adult body. In all kinds of ways, it's made you feel like a victim, and perhaps you've then put a mask on top of that, because, in many cases, the last thing an abused person wants to admit is that they're a victim. So you might put a mask on top of that to try to act independent and to be strong. You might have tried to compensate by building up these superstructures of your ego that made you actually more separate from others, more distant, more arrogant, elitist, self-righteous, any or all of these qualities. When we embrace these parts of us that we're projecting outside of us (the “bad capitalist”, the “bad politician”, the “bad lawyers”, the “bad perpetrators” …or even just in our own family, “the bad parents”, etc.), when we embrace those things within ourselves, now we have real wisdom. We have real power, and we are a healing agency as we move back out into the world. If we don't embrace those, we often are driven to try to stamp out or get rid of those things in the world, whether it's in our family, in our business, or in the larger global culture, and we become a do-gooder. We enact movements and strategies and practices or legislature, laws, and we wonder why we've been doing that over and over again and it doesn't change things. When you look at where real change starts to happen, real evolution, real growth, it's because someone somewhere caught this vision, and they became less focused on the problem and more focused on the vision. They stopped merely trying to save the world, and tdecided to start serving the emerging possibility, the emerging vision, and they worked on themselves. It's the difference between a Malcolm X before his transition, and a Martin Luther King, Jr. This is what you must do. You must look at that and notice where you're fighting and resisting – being do-gooders – and where you're actually creating more pain and more problems in your wake, if not for others, then for yourself. You want to take full responsibility for your emotions, your pain, and your projections, and recognize that real transformation is not about setting things right, but about seeing things rightly. It is the consciousness of wholeness that heals, and when you can see through the appearance of the victims and the victimizers to the truth, to the true principle – the true vision of possibility - then both victim and victimizer are healed and become servants of this higher possibility. To support you in mastering this, listen to the in-depth podcast on the subject, where we break it down and put it into real-life practice TODAY. This will be a real game-changer. To Your Emergence!

For this, the final episode of season one, we're heading to Aramoana, a sleepy New Zealand outpost where one man has the entire town under siege for an astonishing 22 hours. We have been focusing on US mass based shootings so far in the season, however, we know mass shootings are not unique to the Unites States. And as long as there a bad people, there's always going to be a global aspect to mass shootings. So this week Sarah has challenged Katherine to a case that's from her old little sleepy neck of the woods in New Zealand. Think of this episode as an FBI ride along. We get to see how Katherine looks at a case that she's never actually seen before, And it's fascinating the salient facts that she pulls out. On November 13th 1990, an argument between two neighbours develops resulting in one neigbour entering his house and starting on what will be a 22hour siege of Aramoana leaving 13 dead and many injured. Do you think New Zealand gun laws are more robus than the US and how different are the gateway checks are preventing guns being accessed by killers like this in New Zealand? Do you know how to spot someone on the pathwat to VIOLENCE?

It was just after 1am on a Sunday morning in November 2017, a 26 year old man climbed from his car in the parking lot of this tiny first Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Almost immediately, he shoots at two people standing outside the church, the shooter enters through a side door and for 15 minutes, he fires indiscriminately walking up and down the aisle. In all, 48 people were either killed or wounded.  This is the case where the reporting system failed and this individual was able to purchase several guns…….LEGALLY. Whether you are for guns or against, it's just NOT the point - the legal checks and balances in place to stop weapons falling into the hands of those deemed unfit are failing the communities they are there to protect. If all you focus on are the guns, you're failing to see all the other things that you can do to stop the killing because there are so many other ways that we can prevent killings. But prevention is the key. Only if we try to help find these potential shooters before they strike.   Do you know how to spot someone on the pathway to VIOLENCE?

On April 15th, 2021, a 19 year old man, carrying two semi-automatic rifles began shooting outside of a FedEx ground facility. He entered the business, continued to shoot people for about four minutes before turning the weapon on himself and killing himself. So in all he killed eight people and he shot another five, a couple of other people also suffered injuries. At first glance this looks like a case of workplace violence but as Katherine reveals the workplace could really have been any number of locations. In fact the FBI's behavioral team said his actions were, an act of suicidal murder . Let that sink in for a moment…..an act of suicidal murder.   Do you know the how to spot someone on the pathway to SUICIDAL MURDER?

Inspirational Speaker, Educator, Writer and self proclaimed ‘Do-Gooder', Sam Thiara joins the show today to discuss Sam's journey to becoming the ‘difficult monk' who has helped many people change their view of the world. Together, they discuss why obstacles are the necessary bricks on the road to success, why the more difficult the struggle, the sweeter the prize is and how even though you cannot control every situation, you can control how you react to it. KEY TAKEAWAYS The person who needs help, has the answers within them, they just need to be unlocked. Having the person reflect, ask questions and understand what matters to them in life will help them seek out their purpose. If it is easy and straightforward, it is probably not meant for you. The pain that you go through provides the pleasure at the end. The more difficult the struggle, the sweeter the prize. Obstacles are the necessary bricks on the road to success. Never fear the obstacles, embrace them because they are part of the journey. Realise that those obstacles are placed there for a reason to help you accomplish and achieve where we need to go. The world is very complicated and diverse, the more you focus on trying to change the world, the more frustrated you will become. By supporting others and changing their view of the world, you have changed the world in essence. From the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed, you have a choice to make. Choose to add richness to your day and to your life. At the end of it all, at least you can say that you had some engaging experiences in your life that you truly enjoyed. As opposed to dwelling on the challenges you faced. Everyone will face challenges in their life. It is how you approach the challenge that matters. Understand that you are building resilience and this is something you have to face to get to the other side. You may not be able to control the situation, but you can control how you react to it.   BEST MOMENTS “I am the difficult monk” “By leaving, I control my uncertainty, they don't.” “From great darkness comes great light.” “I said to myself, I am going to be open to this experience and I am going to embrace the opportunity, but what am I going to learn as a result of this?”   ABOUT THE GUEST Sam Thiara: Speaker, Educator, Coach, Writer and Community-Do-Gooder “I am an individual who is a speaker, storyteller, author, coach, mentor, entrepreneur, educator and dedicated to community development.There are five areas that I identify as my foundation: Servant Leadership; Story Sharing; Activator and Igniter; Champion and Enabler; and Community Do-Gooder.

Ryan Mckenzie is the co founder of Tru Earth which bootstrapped from 0 to 2.5 million in monthly revenue in only 17 months while waging a war against plastic. After a career of growing several premium subscription boxes to multi-million dollar businesses, this serial entrepreneur decided to create a subscription, zero-waste, environmentally friendly laundry strip that completely eliminates the need for heavy plastic detergent jugs. With roughly 85 thousand active subscribers in 45 different countries, they have collectively kept over 2-million plastic jugs out of landfills, donated well over 2-million loads of laundry to vulnerable families in Canada, the United States and Ghana, and skyrocketed to the second fastest growing startup in Canada this year.But the success of 8 figure monthly run rates has not always been the norm. Starting in the 90’s this entrepreneur has seen the heights of success getting hundreds of thousands of subscribers, generating 6 & 7 figures a month in revenue, and the lows of losing it all, working out of an ice cold garage in the canadian winter, and rationing out discount ground beef for his family for the week. Despite the ups and downs, the lessons learned in his 20 year career helped him design a subscription model around this laundry Eco-Strip, initially aiming to sign on 150 customers, and landing him with an astonishing fifteen-hundred in the very first month!This disruptive startup and innovative founder has been featured in dozens of media outlets and in his written content that has been read by more than 100 million readers. Additionally their viral sensation "Things You Should Never Mix with Water” has been viewed over 16 million times.Find all the shownotes for this episode at https://www.evolvethe.world/ryan-mckenzie

Nicole interviews Ted Yang, a 13-time Serial Entrepreneur. MIT Engineer. Hedge Fund Executive. Author. Do-Gooder. Dad. Ted is not the kind of guy to sit on something important or big. If he sees a problem, the engineer in him looks to fix it. If he sees a financial opportunity or gap, the finance guy in him is figuring out how to leverage it. As part of this calculus, he wasn't always focused on personal evolution or self-reflection (despite that being a mantra of at least one former employer.) But when he and his wife Christine's micro-premiere triplets were born at 24 weeks in 2008, he realized he was on a different kind of journey. For a guy that knows no limits on success, just how far was he willing to go for his family and their future? The answer: whatever it takes. Coming out on November 17th, 2020 - World Prematurity Day - Ted talks about his new book, "Table for Five" the story from a father's unique perspective of the sudden joy of a miracle family, followed by the loss of his son Raymond and the fight for the survival of a daughter and son. This then followed by years of painful medical interventions and diagnosis of autism. The experience forced him to contend with things like vulnerability, powerlessness gratitude, the value of small successes, and embracing change in hard times. Ted also talks about being the son of Chinese immigrants, his drive for success and the expectation that fatherhood would simply fit into this model. But in facing a future that didn't look like a neat predictive model he found new ways to bring agency over his life, including becoming an entrepreneur.  Knowing each other from philanthropy circles, Nicole can't help but discuss Ted's recent entrepreneurial foray for good as a co-founder of 4-CT.org, a hugely successful COVID-19 relief start-up delivering aid and helping to scale-up impactful projects state-wide in Connecticut. Despite this, Ted talks about his thoughts on philanthropy, why he always had an aversion to the term or the idea of being a Philanthropist, even now people are starting to call him one. As they talk about non-profits , entrepreneurship for good, and balancing multiple projects at once, Ted gives insight on what brought him to tell the story of his triplets now and what he hopes will come of it: that his unique perspective might give others the agency they need in their life to face the unthinkable and know that authentic success and happiness is possible, if yet still unrecognizable.  Here's how you can find Ted Yang:  Amazon pre-order:   #1 New Release for Fatherhood #1 New Release for Pregnancy and Childbirth Book site: LinkedIn:   Twitter: @tedsensei   If you like jammin' with us on the podcast, b sure to join us for more fun and inspiration!

In episode 130 of the Better Than Success podcast, host Nicole Purvy interviews Ken Weinstein about Building His Residential and Commercial Real Estate Empire.  Ken is an active entrepreneur and real estate developer in the Philadelphia area. He serves as President of Philly Office Retail, which has renovated and restored more than 300 vacant and deteriorated commercial and residential units in the Philadelphia region during the past 30 years. Philly Office Retail currently owns and manages more than 800,000 square feet of commercial and residential space in the Philadelphia region and has received four Preservation Alliance Community Preservation Awards for its adaptive reuse projects. Ken founded and operated Cresheim Cottage Cafe from 1996 until 2004 and now owns Trolley Car Diner, Deli and Ice Cream Shoppe in Mt. Airy since 2000 and Trolley Car Cafe in East Falls since 2010. His third restaurant, Trolley Car Station, in University City, is slated to open July, 2018. Previously, Ken served as Chief of Staff for Philadelphia City Councilwoman Happy Fernandez from 1991-1995 and currently serves as President of the Philadelphia Housing Development Corporation (PHDC), as a Mayoral appointee, and Chair of the Mt. Airy Business Improvement District which he co-founded in 2007. Ken is Founder of the Trolley Car Teacher’s Fund , which contributes $25,000/year in grants to public school teachers, Trolley Car Table Tennis Club, the only full time table tennis club in the Philadelphia area and Jumpstart Germantown, which trains, networks and provides funding to aspiring real estate developers. Ken was an Organizer/Board Member of Valley Green Bank for 8 years until it was sold to Univest Bank in January 2015. In 2004, Ken was awarded the Business Leader of the Year Award by West Mt. Airy Neighbors, in 2005 was given the Community Service Award by the Center City Proprietors Association, in 2006 was named one of Philadelphia’s 101 Connectors by Leadership Philadelphia, in 2009 received the Distinguished Leadership Award by Community College of Philadelphia, in 2010 received the My Block, My Business Award by the Empowerment Group, in 2011 was awarded the Edgar Baker Community Service Award by East Mt. Airy Neighbors, the 2012 Retailer of the Year Award by the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce and was honored by the Philadelphia Parks Alliance in 2013. In 2015, Ken received honors by the Waldorf School of Philadelphia, the Wissahickon Charter School and the Philadelphia Business Journal as “Do Gooder of the Year.” This year, Ken was honored by Mt. Airy USA and Historic Germantown as a community champion. Ken’s mission is to revitalize neighborhoods by renovating vacant, deteriorated properties along Philadelphia’s commercial corridors. He believes that you can do well by doing good. How to Build Your Residential and Commercial Real Estate Empire? Ken Weinstein starts off explaining how he got started in real estate by seeing problems and situations in the community and trying to find solutions to them. Blight was something Ken was 100% against which is why he started the Jumpstart program. He explains how he wanted to find developers to slow down or stop blight as a whole. “I am willing to take risks to make the world better” Ken says. In this episode Ken shares how he got into real estate. 30 years ago, living in Fishtown, Ken was really inspired by the city of Philadelphia. Watching his landlady at the time renovate 6 properties by herself gave Ken the assurance that he would be able to do the same. Although it took a while to aquire his first property after deciding real estate was an interest. “I saw a lot of opportunity in the Germantown area” Ken explains… “You need good market conditions, you need to see price points”. Ken then moves on to sharing how and why he was able to quit his day job and do real estate full-time. Having enough cash flow that it makes sense and to be able to hire staff is the only way he was able to pursue his real estate career. “It took me about 7 years to get me to the point where i want to leave my day job” - Ken Weinstein. Over the years Ken learned that real estate makes you better at your job and you are a better business owner/employer. One of the biggest points made in this episode is the difference   between residential and commercial real estate in the eyes of one the biggest developers in Philly. “You should ALWAYS start in residential, that should be your ground level… it’s an easier development for anyone to understand and commercial should be long term” - Ken W.

In the midst of the NFL playoffs, a familiar topic arose on social media: Why do all the female broadcasters in the NFL have to be young and attractive while the men have no rules? FOX Sports' Laura Okmin, a prominent post-40 NFL sideline reporter, dives deep into this topic (26:00) including how much she thinks about appearance (32:15), the need for female bosses and how the IG era is impacting aspiring female reporters (36:15.

Are You a Do-Gooder or a Good Doer? This is a really important concept to contemplate and to consider in your life. In the most basic sense, so many people are out there trying to do good, but they're doing it from a consciousness of fear, of separation, or of projection. It's like an unhealed healer, or an angry activist. This is the key here. They've been wounded on some level early on in their life. That core wound really is a core initiation, and it really is pointing them in the direction of where they are meant to get stronger and ultimately make an impact in their life or in the greater world. For example, let's say you were abused as a child, and you grow up having such pain around any form of violence or abuse. Your reaction to it is anger, sadness, bitterness, contempt towards those that perpetrate it, and you have very little, to no, compassion for those that are so caught in their own darkness that they would perpetrate such violence. You're still the wounded little child that now just perhaps inhabits an adult body. In all kinds of ways, it's made you feel like a victim, and perhaps you've then put a mask on top of that, because, in many cases, the last thing an abused person wants to admit is that they're a victim. So you might put a mask on top of that to try to act independent and to be strong. You might have tried to compensate by building up these superstructures of your ego that made you actually more separate from others, more distant, more arrogant, elitist, self-righteous, any or all of these qualities. When we embrace these parts of us that we're projecting outside of us (the “bad capitalist”, the “bad politician”, the “bad lawyers”, the “bad perpetrators” …or even just in our own family, “the bad parents”, etc.), when we embrace those things within ourselves, now we have real wisdom. We have real power, and we are a healing agency as we move back out into the world. If we don't embrace those, we often are driven to try to stamp out or get rid of those things in the world, whether it's in our family, in our business, or in the larger global culture, and we become a do-gooder. We enact movements and strategies and practices or legislature, laws, and we wonder why we've been doing that over and over again and it doesn't change things. When you look at where real change starts to happen, real evolution, real growth, it's because someone somewhere caught this vision, and they became less focused on the problem and more focused on the vision. They stopped merely trying to save the world, and tdecided to start serving the emerging possibility, the emerging vision, and they worked on themselves. It's the difference between a Malcolm X before his transition, and a Martin Luther King, Jr. This is what you must do. You must look at that and notice where you're fighting and resisting – being do-gooders – and where you're actually creating more pain and more problems in your wake, if not for others, then for yourself. You want to take full responsibility for your emotions, your pain, and your projections, and recognize that real transformation is not about setting things right, but about seeing things rightly. It is the consciousness of wholeness that heals, and when you can see through the appearance of the victims and the victimizers to the truth, to the true principle – the true vision of possibility - then both victim and victimizer are healed and become servants of this higher possibility. To support you in mastering this, listen to the in-depth podcast on the subject, where we break it down and put it into real-life practice TODAY. This will be a real game-changer. To Your Emergence!

In this 28th episode, veteran NFL writer Kimberley A. Martin, and VERY soon to be Senior Reporter for Yahoo, takes listeners through her unique whirlwind journey covering the Jets, Bills, and Redskins in the past year for three different outlets. Martin dives deep into the art and joys of storytelling: "To me there is nothing better than to sit with somebody, have them open up and to then filter their whole journey in your own words, which are their words," she says Martin also thoughtfully discusses being a unicorn as a black female writer in NFL locker rooms. Plus she breaks down Alex Smith finding peace in Washington, the NFL storylines that will move the needle this season, and the figures she would most like to profile. Later on, Melissa names David Tepper as our Do-Gooder of the Week. The new Carolina owner partnered with several organizations run by Panthers players to donate 12,000 backpacks to Charlotte-area schools.

Richard Wayman (film producer & accountant) Our first Do-Gooder is proposed by John. Wayman started the Highway Saftey Foundation in Ohio in the 1950s. What started off as a hobby for photography and a friendship with the police blossomed into a nationally distributed educational film company. The educational films focused on the behavior of the driver, where the safety of the vehicles and road conditions came secondary. You can find videos, like the first film “Signal 30″ on Youtube. There is a documentary available on Fandor and Amazon about Wayman and his impact as an educational film producer.

Are You a Do-Gooder or a Good Doer? This is a really important concept to contemplate and to consider in your life. In the most basic sense, so many people are out there trying to do good, but they're doing it from a consciousness of fear, of separation, or of projection. It's like an unhealed healer, or an angry activist. This is the key here. They've been wounded on some level early on in their life. That core wound really is a core initiation, and it really is pointing them in the direction of where they are meant to get stronger and ultimately make an impact in their life or in the greater world. For example, let's say you were abused as a child, and you grow up having such pain around any form of violence or abuse. Your reaction to it is anger, sadness, bitterness, contempt towards those that perpetrate it, and you have very little, to no, compassion for those that are so caught in their own darkness that they would perpetrate such violence. You're still the wounded little child that now just perhaps inhabits an adult body. In all kinds of ways, it's made you feel like a victim, and perhaps you've then put a mask on top of that, because, in many cases, the last thing an abused person wants to admit is that they're a victim. So you might put a mask on top of that to try to act independent and to be strong. You might have tried to compensate by building up these superstructures of your ego that made you actually more separate from others, more distant, more arrogant, elitist, self-righteous, any or all of these qualities. When we embrace these parts of us that we're projecting outside of us (the “bad capitalist”, the “bad politician”, the “bad lawyers”, the “bad perpetrators” …or even just in our own family, “the bad parents”, etc.), when we embrace those things within ourselves, now we have real wisdom. We have real power, and we are a healing agency as we move back out into the world. If we don't embrace those, we often are driven to try to stamp out or get rid of those things in the world, whether it's in our family, in our business, or in the larger global culture, and we become a do-gooder. We enact movements and strategies and practices or legislature, laws, and we wonder why we've been doing that over and over again and it doesn't change things. When you look at where real change starts to happen, real evolution, real growth, it's because someone somewhere caught this vision, and they became less focused on the problem and more focused on the vision. They stopped merely trying to save the world, and tdecided to start serving the emerging possibility, the emerging vision, and they worked on themselves. It's the difference between a Malcolm X before his transition, and a Martin Luther King, Jr. This is what you must do. You must look at that and notice where you're fighting and resisting – being do-gooders – and where you're actually creating more pain and more problems in your wake, if not for others, then for yourself. You want to take full responsibility for your emotions, your pain, and your projections, and recognize that real transformation is not about setting things right, but about seeing things rightly.
