Podcasts about doing good

Welcome to Day 2938 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2938 – Wisdom Nuggets – Proverbs 3:21-28 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2938 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2938 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for Today's Wisdom-Trek is: Unshakeable Sleep, Divine Security, and the Urgency of Doing Good On our previous podcast, on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Seven, we explored Proverbs chapter three, verses nine through twenty. We marveled at how honoring Yahweh with our firstfruits opens the doors of true abundance, how His fatherly discipline refines our character, and how wisdom acts as a priceless Tree of Life—the very blueprint by which God founded the earth and established the heavens! Today, as we step onto Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Eight of our ongoing trek, we advance directly into Proverbs chapter three, verses twenty-one through twenty-eight. In these eight practical verses, Solomon takes us from the grand cosmic scales of creation down into the quiet sanctuary of our bedrooms at night, and out onto the front porch of our neighbor's house during the day. Having spent over fifty years focusing on and studying Biblical wisdom, and having accumulated seventy years of life experiences—walking through peaceful seasons, unexpected storms, and daily human interactions—I can tell you that true wisdom is not proven in abstract academic debates. It is proven when you lay your head on the pillow at night in complete peace, and when you eagerly open your hands to help someone in need today. Let us open our minds and hearts to the first logical section of this teaching, as recorded in the New Living Translation, grouping together the connected thoughts found in Proverbs chapter three, verse twenty-one, verse twenty-two, verse twenty-three, and verse twenty-four. My child, don't lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them, for they will refresh your soul. They are like a jewel on a necklace. They keep you safe on your way, and your feet will not stumble. You can go to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly. Look at the urgent command that opens verse twenty-one: "don't lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them!" In the original Hebrew text, common sense translates as tushiyyah—that sound, effective, battle-tested wisdom we examined back in chapter two—while discernment is mezimmah, the practical ability to plan wisely and foresee moral outcomes. Solomon tells us never to let these virtues slip out of our mental field of vision. Notice the exquisite imagery in verse twenty-two: "they will refresh your soul. They are like a jewel on a necklace." This connects us directly back to what we studied in Proverbs chapter three, verse three, where Solomon commanded us to tie covenant loyalty and truth around our necks! Divine wisdom and discernment are never heavy, legalistic burdens; they are beautiful adornments that bring vibrant, inner refreshment—chayyim—to your soul! And look at the practical result in verses twenty-three and twenty-four! As you walk along life's trail, discernment keeps your feet from stumbling over hidden obstacles. Then, when the sun goes down, "you can go to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly!" In the Ancient Israelite worldview, the nighttime was frequently associated with danger, vulnerability, and dark spiritual chaos. In earlier episodes, such as Proverbs chapter one, we saw wicked men hiding in dark alleys to plot violent ambushes. But here, Solomon promises that when your life is aligned with Yahweh's order, the night holds no terror for you! You do not lie awake staring at the ceiling, paralyzed by anxiety, guilt, or fear of exposure. Your sleep is tranquil, deep, and sweet, because your soul is anchored securely in the presence of the Creator. The narrative now transitions from nighttime peace to daytime confidence, linking together the logical thoughts found in Proverbs chapter three, verse twenty-five, and verse twenty-six. You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, for the Lord is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap. Solomon addresses one of the greatest tormentors of the human heart: the dread of sudden calamity! He reassures us that we need not fear sudden disaster, or the ruin that inevitably sweeps over the wicked. In this earthly life, unexpected crises do occur—economic shifts, sudden health trials, or social upheaval. Those who build their lives on self-reliance, deceit, or ill-gotten gain are completely destroyed by these storms, because their foundation is built on shifting sand. Look at the unshakeable foundation offered to the wise trekker in verse twenty-six: "for the Lord is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap!" In the Hebrew text, "the Lord is your security" literally reads Yahweh yihyeh be-kislaka—Yahweh Himself will be your confidence, your hope, and your strong fortress! This highlights the divine-council worldview we have tracked throughout our journey. While neighboring pagan cultures lived in constant terror of erratic, territorial idols, the person who fears Yahweh knows that the supreme Master of the heavenly hosts stands as their personal guardian! Remember back in Proverbs chapter one, where greedy men set hidden traps for the innocent, only to ambush themselves? Here, Solomon promises that when you walk in divine truth, Yahweh personally watches over your footsteps, keeping you from being ensnared by the hidden traps of the adversary. In my seventy years on this earth, I have navigated many unexpected storms, and I can testify with full assurance that Yahweh has always proven to be an unshakeable security. The instruction now takes a sharp, highly practical turn, moving from internal confidence directly to our public responsibility toward others, as recorded in Proverbs chapter three, verse twenty-seven, and verse twenty-eight. Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it's in your power to help them. If you can help your neighbor now, don't say, “Come back tomorrow, and then I'll help you.” Look at the ethical mandate Solomon presents here! He moves from private peace directly into active, neighborly love, commanding: "Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it's in your power to help them." In the original Hebrew, the phrase "those who deserve it" literally reads ba'alav—the rightful owners of that good! In biblical ethics, if God has placed resources, influence, or ability in your hands, and your neighbor has a legitimate need, meeting that need is not an optional act of patronizing charity; it is a debt of righteousness that you owe to a fellow human image-bearer! Then, in verse twenty-eight, Solomon delivers a direct blow to the subtle sin of procrastination: "If you can help your neighbor now, don't say, 'Come back tomorrow, and then I'll help you.'" Procrastination in doing good is often just selfishness hiding behind polite excuses! Divine wisdom demands urgency in generosity. This connects beautifully with what we studied in Proverbs chapter three, verses nine and ten, where we were commanded to give Yahweh our firstfruits without delay. Generosity is not merely a ritual performed in a sacred building; it is a lifestyle practiced immediately at our neighbor's front door! In the divine court, Yahweh evaluates the sincerity of our faith by how promptly and generously we treat those around us. One of our core commitments on Wisdom-Trek is to "Lend to others Generously." Over my fifty years of studying Scripture, I have learned that delayed generosity is often denied generosity. When God gives you the opportunity and the power to bless someone today, do not hesitate—act immediately! As we bring today's trek through Proverbs chapter three, verses twenty-one through twenty-eight to a close, consider the complete, harmonious life Solomon sets before us. When you hang onto common sense and discernment, you experience deep inner refreshment, enjoy sweet and sound sleep, walk free from the fear of sudden disaster, and become an immediate conduit of God's blessing to your neighbors. Align your heart with Yahweh's wisdom today, rest in His divine protection, and do not hesitate to do good to those around you.

“Send Coach John a message”I found this powerful reminder from Nancy Lieberman (@NancyLieberman) all connected to why we do the right thing. “If you do good expecting a reward, that is when it stops being a virtue.  Real growth is not a transaction.  You do not do good to collect something.  You do it because you are already something.”  BOOM!!  What a powerful reminder about how we go about our lives, every day!  Doing the right thing is the way to go because it's the right thing.  We should live our lives more and more with this. Again, think of how the world would be a much better place.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Anika sat down with Andrew Bolton, CEO and co-founder of Tech Rescue, to explore the massive cultural and corporate shift currently prioritizing artificial intelligence over human connection—and why it's a losing bet. Starting from a moment of intense frustration while trying to help his grandmother with technology, Andrew bootstrapped a 24/7, human-only tech support company that has defied the "chatbot era" of Silicon Valley. Andrew's journey offers a masterclass in recognizing the power of empathy in business, building culture in a service company, and why trusting the basics of customer care is the ultimate growth hack.   In This Episode   The origins of Tech Rescue: Why a simple email forward sparked a fast-growing business How the tech industry has abandoned the 14% of Americans who struggle with modern devices The psychological and physiological benefits of talking to a human over a robot Why implementing a strict "no AI, no chatbots" policy became their greatest competitive advantage Bootstrapping the company with his mother as CFO after getting rejected by traditional VCs The connection between lowering a caller's cortisol levels and boosting corporate retention rates Why the modern education system's failures present a massive threat to the U.S. workforce How Tech Rescue grew from answering calls at 2 AM to a team of 78 employees in three years The danger of monopolies and the slow creep of corporate mediocrity Why real success isn't just about billions—it's about protecting creativity, connection, and culture   Timestamps   00:00 Introduction: Solving a human problem in an AI world 01:34 The origin story: Watching an 80-year-old struggle to forward an email 04:47 How the relentless pace of tech has left 14% of the population behind 09:21 The death of customer service: Why optimization actually means abandonment 11:24 The ultimate value proposition: Choosing humans over chatbots 16:01 Walking away from Wall Street to build a business with his mom 18:51 The fundamental truth: How you treat your customers is how they treat your wallet 22:15 Building a 24/7 call center powered by psychology majors, not IT techs 24:01 The science of empathy: Lowering cortisol to reduce call times and save money 26:27 Smacking the "Palo Alto 5-year plan" and proving empathy is profitable 33:13 Why hiring for emotional intelligence is harder—and more important—than hiring for tech skills 36:31 A warning about the U.S. education system and the future of the workforce 43:25 Why becoming a billionaire in a mediocre world means absolutely nothing 48:44 Conclusion: The core mission of connecting people   Key Insights & Takeaways   Insight 1: "Optimization" Often Just Means Abandonment   For the last decade, companies have used terms like "optimization" or "streamlining" to justify firing their HR, sales, and customer service departments, replacing them with endless phone trees and chatbots. This has created a massive void in the market where customers are desperate to speak with a real human—a void that human-centric businesses can easily and profitably fill.   Insight 2: Empathy is a Quantifiable Metric   Tech Rescue hires psychology and sociology majors rather than IT professionals because teaching tech is easier than teaching empathy. According to medical studies, simply addressing a caller by their name can lower cortisol and adrenaline levels by 13%. In a call center environment, a calmer customer translates directly to a conversation that ends seven minutes sooner, vastly reducing operational costs and boosting retention.   Insight 3: The "No Chatbot" Guarantee is a Growth Strategy   While VCs and marketing agencies constantly pressure companies to adopt AI to save money, Tech Rescue found that their greatest selling point is their strict refusal to use it. In a world where consumers are fatigued by automated voices and generic AI outputs, guaranteeing a human interaction builds a level of brand trust and loyalty that algorithms cannot replicate.   Insight 4: Generational Tech Gaps Require Psychological Safety   Older generations aren't just confused by rapidly changing tech (like Meta rearranging its settings menus multiple times a year); they are often embarrassed to ask for help. Tech Rescue provides a psychologically safe space for users to ask questions—whether it's about online banking or setting up a dating profile on Bumble—without feeling rushed or condescended to.   Insight 5: You Can Make Money by Doing Good in the World   Andrew pushes back against the modern corporate mandate of "alpha at all costs," which he argues leads to monotonous, poor-quality products and a lack of innovation. His core philosophy—often repeated as "Business 101"—is that if you solve a genuine problem and treat people with respect, the financial success will naturally follow. Monopolies prevent competition, but incredible customer service shatters monopolies.   Resources & Links Mentioned Tech Rescue   About Andrew Bolton   Andrew Bolton is the CEO and co-founder of Tech Rescue, a 24/7 human-powered tech support company. A Harvard-trained strategist with Wall Street roots, Andrew walked away from traditional corporate America to build a business centered entirely around empathy, trust, and connection. He co-founded the company alongside his mother after witnessing firsthand how the modern tech industry disregards the elderly and the less tech-savvy. Today, he manages a growing team of 78 employees out of a call center in Colorado, proving that human connection is the ultimate competitive advantage.   Connect with Andrew Bolton Website: https://techrescue.io/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patience is one of those things that no one thinks they have enough of.  Patience is needed for lots of things.  Doing good is one of those things we need patience for.  It is not easy doing the right thing and often causes you more problems, but we must be patient in doing good.

Nu veel Nederlanders deze zomervakantie vieren in eigen land, ging Marc van Hal in Doing Good op zoek naar een Nederland dat niet altijd direct zichtbaar is. Naar oude heilige plaatsen, verhalen in het landschap en plekken waar mensen al eeuwenlang iets bijzonders ervaren. Auteur, coach, begeleider en sjamaan Jan Pieter Scheur verdiepte zich in oude culturen, sjamanistische tradities en de bijzondere krachtplekken van Nederland. Daarbij vormen zijn eigen Friese wortels een belangrijke bron van inspiratie. Wat betekent het om in deze tijd sjamaan te zijn? Hoe kwam hij in contact met oude kennis en tradities? Wat ervaart hij op een krachtplek en wat kunnen de wijsheid van onze voorouders en de verbinding met de natuur ons leren over het leven van vandaag? Doing Good Doing Good met Marc van Hal is elke laatste maandag van de maand tussen 16:00 en 17:00 uur te horen op GoodLIFE Radio. De aflevering is daarna terug te luisteren via de bekende podcastplatforms.

Why is there evil if the Kingdom is present? And what are we to do about it? In His parable of the weeds among the wheat, the Lord Jesus teaches us that the answer to the weeds around us in the world is... to plant more good seeds: patiently, lovingly, perseveringly, and abundantly, in the hope that in the end, the kingdom of this world will indeed become the Kingdom of our Lord. Our work is to sow wheat, not pluck weeds… except for the weeds inside our own hearts. Note: The painting associated with this sermon/podcast is "The Harvest" by celebrated Romanian artist Arthur Garguromin Verona.

When we are under the influence of the Holy Spirit, our very character changes. From within, we become different. Girl, you’re simply not who you once were. Have you noticed as you change and grow it almost puts a spotlight on our loved ones who are NOT. Maybe someone you love is NOT under the influence of the Holy Spirit and they seem to be stuck in old way … well, they are. When you invite the presence of God into your life HE makes you new. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” This means if someone DOESN’T belong to Christ, they’re still the same old person living the same life. Their answer is not to try harder – their answer is to surrender their life to Jesus and let the Holy Spirit change them from within! So, here we are as surrendered souls being made new. We’re being reworked from the inside so we’re becoming different, growing different fruit in our lives. Naturally, when the inside has changed, the outside begins to change as well. Today we study the next fruit produced in our life under the influence of the Holy Spirit – GOODNESS. The Greek word translated into goodness has a root word meaning good, upright and excellent. When the suffix is added, it turns into a character trait. The full meaning of this word “goodness” means to have moral excellence, an upright heart, integrity and goodness in action. And where does this goodness come from? Only ONE source – this is God’s goodness flowing through us. This is not self-produced goodness. This isn’t a 10 step program to change your heart and realign your morals. This isn’t being kind, doing nice things, changing your morals – this is God himself expressing HIS character through your surrendered life. This is simply the goodness of God himself dwelling within, transforming you, and then naturally flowing out from you. When you surrender your life to God, HE makes you good. If you’re struggling with a twisted heart or mind, there’s ONE who is in the business of untwisting – that’s the work of the Holy Spirit. And every single one of us have gotten a little twisted. Life in this world has a way of doing that. Human nature is a twisting. We simply can’t live well without God’s influence and direction. This is NEVER a matter of you being a better person than someone else – this is always a matter of God’s almighty work within you. Without God, you would be one twisted girl living in utter darkness – and that’s just the humbling truth. The Holy Spirit changes our character to GOODNESS. He aligns our morals with God’s. He teaches us to do what is right even when no one is watching. He grows our desires in the direction of integrity. We don’t do that ourselves. Girl, if there’s goodness in you, that’s a work of God, not of you! This fruit of goodness is a growing of WHO YOU ARE. It’s an external proof of the internal transformation happening. God is GOOD. His power is good. His ways are good. His plans are good. And when your soul is surrendered to Him as Lord and He is in control of your life, then He is living inside of you, making you good. It starts with Him and flows into you. This isn’t an act of willpower on your part; this is an act of surrender. This isn’t an achievement; this is a transformation. Goodness is the overflow of abiding in Christ. The fruit isn’t something you force—it is something God grows as you remain connected to Him. Goodness starts with God. Goodness flows into you. Goodness grows through you. Goodness blesses everyone around you. If you take GOD out of GOODNESS, you are left with o-ness. If you’re trying to make yourself be good without the power of the Holy Spirit working in you, you may achieve good behavior for a while, but you’ll never produce godly goodness. Only God can produce God’s character. GOODNESS IS GOD’S CHARACTER. We try to be good without God and we just end up exhausting ourselves trying to become by effort – but this goodness is only produced through surrender to God. Do you want to be better? SURRENDER! Then the fruit of goodness will naturally grow! Jesus shows us what the goodness of God within looks like in action. Acts 10:38 puts it simply, “Jesus went around doing good.” The character of goodness always produces goodness in action. The more the Holy Spirit works his goodness in you, the more your actions align to those of Jesus. Girl, you’re going to be going around DOING GOOD! What if your entire life became about going around just doing good! You want to represent Jesus to this world – go around doing good! Let God’s goodness flow through you onto everyone you encounter! Ephesians 2:10 says we’re created to do the good things God planned for us. Doing good things doesn’t save us – But the goodness of God growing in us naturally has us going around doing good things! Think about that – do you notice that in your own journey with God? The more you grow in Jesus – the more you learn and follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit – the more he has you going around doing good things! How radically cool is that? THAT’S THE FRUIT OF GOODNESS GROWING IN YOUR LIFE! So today, don’t leave our time together thinking, “I need to try harder to be good.” Leave thinking, “I need to stay closer to God.” Fruit never grows because the branch strains harder—it grows because it stays connected to the vine. The closer you live to Jesus, the more His goodness becomes your goodness. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself speaking with more integrity, loving more deeply, giving more generously, forgiving more freely, serving more joyfully, and doing good almost without thinking about it. That’s the Holy Spirit transforming your character. Girl, this world doesn’t just need more nice people. It needs more people so surrendered to Jesus that His goodness overflows into every conversation, every decision, every relationship, and every ordinary day. So stay surrendered. Stay connected. Stay under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Then go around doing good, because everywhere the goodness of God goes, darkness loses ground and people catch a glimpse of Jesus. And really that’s what it’s all about – show the world JESUS! Every act of goodness points beyond us. Every kind word, every generous act, every choice of integrity, every quiet sacrifice becomes another opportunity for someone to catch a glimpse of Jesus. So let His goodness grow in you, flow through you, and reveal Him to the world.

Aron begon op zijn zestiende met ondernemen en ontdekte hypnose als middel om beperkende overtuigingen te doorbreken. Marc van Hal praat met hem over zijn dieptepunten, waarom hij crises als kansen ziet en waarom echt zelfvertrouwen volgens hem altijd van binnenuit komt.

On this episode of Rumors of Doing Good, Rob sits down with Jitendra Nayak from Odisha, India, who has chosen to live life alongside the Dalit community. Rather than observing from a distance, Jitendra enters into their daily realities—sharing in their struggles, celebrating their resilience, and witnessing the quiet ways hope and goodness take root. In their conversation, they explore what it means to journey with people whose stories are too often overlooked, and how deep presence, long-term relationships, and solidarity can cultivate a kind of goodness that grows slowly but meaningfully. Jitendra's experience challenges us to rethink what it means to do good in our own communities, and invites us to notice the whispers of hope happening all around us.

What does the Bible actually mean by justice? And how should Christians think about "social justice" in today's cultural climate? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, we sit down with Dr. Christina Crenshaw to explore why justice has become such a defining issue for Gen Z and how Christians can pursue justice in a way that is rooted in Scripture rather than shifting cultural ideologies. Drawing from her book Redeeming Justice: Reclaiming God's Vision for Doing Good in the World, Christina explains the difference between biblical justice and modern social justice, why worldview matters, and how the gospel transforms the way Christians engage brokenness in the world. Together we discuss: *Why justice has become central to Gen Z identit *The difference between biblical justice and social justice *Worldview assumptions behind modern activism *Grace-based justice vs. guilt-driven activism *How Jesus redefined justice *What biblical justice looks like for students today Dr. Christina Crenshaw is an Assistant Professor at Arizona Christian University and a Fellow with its Cultural Research Center. With more than twenty years in Christian education, she has taught widely in leadership, spiritual formation, literature, and human trafficking prevention. She is the author of Redeeming Justice: Reclaiming God's Vision for Doing Good in the World.

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Megan McInnis, Founder and Executive Director of Doing Good, a 501(c)3 B2B nonprofit that serves other agencies by providing marketing and PR tools and opportunities. She describes how the organization started when she was looking for positive information about nonprofits in Nashville, eventually speaking with over 300 people about their experiences with nonprofits. Megan outlines their current monthly process of celebrating one organization through podcast episodes, blog posts, social media, and press releases, while also serving as a matchmaker to connect nonprofits with other potential media and marketing partners. She explains that Doing Good is entirely volunteer-run with team members located across the country, though about half are in Middle Tennessee. She describes the volunteer base as diverse, including creative people at various experience levels who volunteer remotely to help celebrate the work of nonprofits across the country. Megan explains how Doing Good seeks to celebrate nonprofits and volunteers through nominations on their website, with a focus on providing visibility during relevant times or events. She notes that while planning can vary depending on the situation, they prefer working further in advance to allow for more creativity and additional opportunities for the organizations being featured. Megan mentions the example of the Middle Tennessee Space Society being highlighted during the eclipse as an instance of timing-specific celebration. Megan discusses feedback from nonprofit partners regarding their service. The partners express amazement at receiving service at no cost and appreciate the overall experience, including their first podcast interviews. Megan emphasizes that the service not only provides valuable content but also shows appreciation for the nonprofits' work. She discusses a new TV show opportunity that is ready to launch but needs funding. The show is planned as a weekly half-hour program combining documentary and reality TV elements, similar to Extreme Makeover Home Edition and Dirty Jobs, focusing on volunteer work across different organizations with the same mission. The show aims to highlight various volunteer efforts, provide visibility to organizations, and surprise volunteers with gifts or celebrity visits.

In this episode of Rumors of Doing Good, Rob Schellert speaks with Jack Holloway, founder of Despair Sanctuary in Brooklyn, New York, USA. What began as a moment of despair over taxes owed unexpectedly grew into a vision for creating vigils for the weary—a sanctuary where sorrow is honored and lament is made sacred. Jack shares the story behind Despair Sanctuary, the heart and vision that sustain it, and his love for drone music—slow, heavy, sustained soundscapes that create space for grief, stillness, and faithful lament.

Being Good and Doing Good and Loving God - Brad Warren

בפרק מיוחד שהוקלט בלייב באירוע ההשקה של הקורס הדיגיטלי "היזם האנושי" בלאומיטק, והראשון לשנת 2026, אירחתי את אורן קניאל, מייסד שותף ומנכ"ל AppsFlyer. אורן מוביל היום חברה גלובלית שחוצה את רף ה-500 מיליון דולר בהכנסות, אבל השיחה איתו היתה הכל חוץ מרשמית. למעשה, לפי התגובות של הקהל באולם, אורן לגמרי צריך לשקול קריירה קריירה נוספת כסטנדאפיסט ולא רק כיזם ומנכ"ל מוכשר. השיחה שלנו לא עסקה במספרים ובסקייל אלא באדם שמאחורי המנכ"ל – זה שמתרגש לראות את עצמו של לפני 14 שנה בקהל, שמאמין שכל אחד מאיתנו הוא פסיפס של חוויות, ושיודע להפוך כל "לא" לדלק שמניע את המנוע קדימה. מהמטבח הצבאי ללב האקוסיסטם: פסיפס של חוויות המסלול של אורן ליזמות לא עבר ביחידות הטכנולוגיות הנוצצות כמו יזמים מצליחים רבים אחרים. הוא גדל בקרית מוצקין, התאהב במחשבים מגיל אפס - אבל בצבא מצא את עצמו דווקא כטבח. במשך שנים הוא ראה בחלק הזה במסע שלו פספוס ואכזבה גדולה, וניסה להתחמק משאלות בנוגע לשירותו הצבאי, אבל היום הוא מבין שדווקא שם נבנו חלק מהיסודות ליזמות שלו. המטבח לימד אותו אחריות אדירה – הידיעה שאם הוא לא מתפקד, אף אחד לא זז. הוא למד שם יצירתיות עם חומרי גלם, את היכולת לספק חוויה יומיומית לאנשים, ובעיקר את היכולת להתמודד עם ארגון מורכב כמו הצבא. עבור אורן, כל חוויה בדרך – מהתיקון של מחשבים כילד על אופניים, עובר בהטסת טיסנים כתחביב ילדות ועד לעבודה ב-VC בארצות הברית – היא חלק מהפסיפס שבונה את ה"אני" היזמי. זוגיות, שותפות ו"סוויץ'" במוח: לנהל הרמוניה, לא איזון אחד ההיבטים הייחודיים במסע של אורן הוא השותפות עם רשף, חבר מהתיכון, ועם ליסה, בת זוגו, שהפכה לחלק בלתי נפרד מהקמת החברה. אורן מודה בחיוך ששותפות כזו היא לא עבור כל אחד, אבל עבורם זו הייתה מציאות שנוצרה מתוך תשוקה משותפת והפכה לאחד מסודות ההצלחה של AppsFlyer. המפתח שלו להישרדות בתוך האינטנסיביות הזו הוא ה**"סוויץ'"** – היכולת המנטלית להעביר מודים. כשהוא עם הילדים, הוא באולטימייט פוקוס איתם; הוא לא חושב על העבודה. הוא לא מאמין במושג "Work-Life Balance" כי הוא מרגיש שזה מציב את העבודה מול החיים. מבחינתו, הכל צריך לחיות בהרמוניה של מערכות יחסים, שבהן מקיפים את עצמנו באנשים שכיף לנו לראות בבוקר, גם אם (ואולי בגלל) שהם יודעים להתווכח איתנו ולהגיד לנו שאנחנו טועים. מנהיגות כשקיפות ופידבק: חברות שלא נותנת הנחות בתוך התרבות של AppsFlyer, אורן מוביל קו של שקיפות ופידבק יומיומי. הוא מאמין שהיכולת לתת פידבק, גם כשזה לא נעים לשמוע, היא הביטוי האמיתי של אחריות וחברות. הוא מצפה מהאנשים שלו להיות אלה שמאתגרים אותו, שסותרים את דבריו ושעוזרים לו להשתפר. בעיניו, יזמות היא לא רק להקים חברה, אלא לקום בבוקר עם נחישות לשנות דברים בתוך המסגרת שבה אתה נמצא – בין אם אתה יזם או שכיר. הוא מעודד "Beginner's Mind" – להסתכל על הכל בסקרנות של פעם ראשונה, ודורש מהעובדים שלו להיות פרואקטיביים ולהשתמש בכלים חדשים כמו AI כדי לפלס דרכים חדשות. Doing Well by Doing Good: אגואיזם של נתינה אורן טוען שאין דבר יותר "אנוכי" מאשר לעזור לאחרים, כי התמורה שמקבלים חזרה היא עצומה. AppsFlyer מושקעת בפרויקטים חברתיים עמוקים: ממערכת יחסים רב-שנים עם ניצולי שואה ועד פרויקטים טכנולוגיים עם "Restart" לשיקום פצועי צה"ל. אלו לא רק תרומות כספיות; אלו צוותי פיתוח ודיזיין שמפתחים מוצרים מותאמים אישית לצרכים הייחודיים של הפצועים. בעיניו, העשייה הזו מחזקת את העובדים, נותנת להם תשוקה ומזכירה להם למה הם צריכים לבנות ביזנס מצוין – כדי שנוכל להמשיך להשפיע לטובה על העולם. איך להתמודד עם ה"לא": אין "לא", יש "לא עכשיו" התובנה אולי הכי חזקה של אורן ליזמים בתחילת הדרך נוגעת להתמודדות עם דחייה. כשמישהו אומר לו "לא", הוא פשוט שומע "לא עכשיו". הוא לא רואה במשקיעים גאונים שיודעים הכל; הוא מאמין שהיזם הוא זה שחייב להיות ה-"Domain Expert" שיודע הכי טוב. במקום להישבר מה"לא", הוא משתמש בו כדי לייצר "Fire" פנימי. זהו חוסן שנבנה מתוך היכולת לא להיתקע, לקבל אנרגיה מהקושי ולהמשיך לרוץ קדימה מתוך אמונה בלתי מתפשרת בדרך. מסר לסיום: המסע של אורן מלמד אותנו שיזמות היא דרך חיים מנטלית. היא דורשת מאיתנו לקחת אחריות על ההזדמנויות שלנו, להבין שהשיעורים הכי חשובים מגיעים לעיתים מאכזבות , ולזכור שהאנשים שאנחנו פוגשים בדרך – במיטאפ, במטבח או בבורד – הם אלו שהופכים את המסע הזה למשמעותי באמת.

Longtime friend Ken Loyd returns to Rumors of Doing Good to share a story that has stayed with him for nearly 45 years—about a man named Roy Rogers (not that Roy Rogers!), whose simple, quiet love changed a room and a life. In this conversation, Ken and Rob reflect on the small gestures that stay with us—the way someone looks at you when you speak, the warmth of a hand being held, the feeling of being seen without needing to perform. Ken remembers Roy not for eloquent words or impressive credentials, but for a love that was uncomplicated, sincere, and disarming. As Ken's own life and health have changed over time, he finds himself drawn more and more to that kind of simplicity: a faith made real in presence, tenderness, humor, and humanity. This episode is a reminder that: We are shaped by the ordinary moments. We are remembered for how we loved, not what we accomplished. And sometimes the simplest things are the most profound. Maybe the good life really is that simple.

It happens slowly. Then all at once. Small compromises. Quiet trade-offs. One day you wake up and realize your life, your leadership, or your organization has drifted from what it was supposed to be about. The mission that once drove everything is now just words on a wall.Peter Greer wrote the book on it — literally. In How Leaders Lose Their Way, he unpacks why drift is the default and what it takes to stay anchored. Peter is President & CEO of HOPE International and has spent years helping leaders finish well — personally and organizationally.In this conversation, we unpack:→ What personal and organizational drift actually looks like (and why it's so hard to spot)→ The difference between "resume virtues" and "eulogy virtues"→ Why Peter writes his eulogy every year — and how it recalibrates everything→ The dangers of success, speed, and isolation→ Why you need friends who love you enough to tell you the truth→ How good organizations lose their mission — and why growth can't be the ultimate goal→ Practical guardrails you can put in place this weekIf you want to finish well, this conversation will show you how to fight the current.—

Today, Bob 'n Joyce welcome Bernie Youngblood — a force of nature who brings passion, candor, and a deep sense of purpose to everything he touches. A self-described “accidental entrepreneur,” Bernie has launched eight companies, reinvented industries, and built a career anchored in one simple belief: doing good and doing well should go hand-in-hand. Bernie doesn't dodge hard questions. In fact, he runs straight at them. In this conversation, he challenges conventional thinking and offers a perspective that every leader — from scrappy founders to seasoned execs — needs to hear. We cover a wide terrain, including: • The biggest mistake startup CEOs make • Why the world needs more people willing to speak truth to power • Why it's never just about the money • How organizations can win by putting purpose, wellness, and culture first • The myth of scarcity • Staying hopeful in chaotic times Bernie is a provocateur in the best sense — someone who shakes people awake, pushes for better, and reminds us that leadership is ultimately about impact. Here we go. Come on in. Grab a snack. Welcome. About Our Guest Bernie Youngblood is an 8x founder, CEO, marketer, and change agent who helps organizations win by putting purpose, wellness, and culture at the center of their strategy. After starting his career in finance, Bernie found his true calling in sales, marketing, and entrepreneurship — leading national campaigns, driving corporate spin-offs, building startups from the ground up, and helping Fortune 500 companies rethink how they go to market. Today, he splits his time between two missions: transforming workplace wellness as Director of Partnerships at HOTLOGIC®, and leading ThinkPartners, a boutique firm that connects for-profits, nonprofits, and artist communities to ignite purpose-driven growth. He also hosts Unboxing the Office, a podcast exploring corporate culture with honesty and humor. Bernie's work is rooted in a simple conviction: thriving people build thriving companies.

Joyce talks about the anonymous donor who donated millions to cover the military through the government shutdown and how most people if given the opportunity to keep more of their resources would also be charitable. She talks about the attacks on ICE agents and lack of respect for law enforcement, Zahran Mamdani's chances of winning the New York Mayoral election, and more. Joe Kaufman joins the show to talk about his campaign for Congress, radical Muslim ideology gaining political power in western countries, and his success in shutting down a Muslim/Pro Hamas conference in Coral Springs. Derek from TMZ calls to talk about his college reunion, ICE protesters and difference view points, CBS News hiring Bari Weiss, Kim Kardashian Soon to be qualified attorney, deaths at Disney World, and the NBA gambling scandal.

Pamela Morsi's books were different than the typical historical romance of the time. Writing stories set in rural America, with poor or working class characters, Morsi was hailed as the “the Garrison Keillor of romance fiction,” by Publishers Weekly. When demand for the Americana subgenre waned after 2000, Morsi switched over to contemporary romance and women's fiction with 2002's Doing Good. She continued to write through 2014, publishing 29 books in her long career. She died this past December. Garters, published in 1993, is one of Morsi's most beloved books. Following Esme Crab, a poor hill girl who wants to marry up, and Cleavis Rhy, a storeowner with aspirations of being a gentleman, Garters is an unusual tale about class, love, and ambition that is goofy, tender, and at times heartbreaking.Support us on our Patreon!Visit our website for transcripts and show notes: reformedrakes.comFollow us on social media:Twitter: @reformedrakesInstagram: @reformedrakesBluesky: @reformedrakesBeth's SubstackChels' SubstackEmma's SubstackThank you for listening!
