Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“
In this episode, Anne Marie talks to Caroline Welling VanDeusen. Caroline is the author of Diary of Elizabeth Dixon, 1845-47 published in White House History, Issue 33, by the White House Historical Association. You may wonder who Elizabeth Dixon is because Elizabeth actually worked hard to erase herself from history. She went so far as to pay off reporters not to write about her. She did, however, leave behind her diaries and letters, which were passed down from generation to generation until they landed in the hands of Caroline, Elizabeth's direct descendent.Caroline talks in-depth about her 3rd great-grandmother Elizabeth Dixon, whose presence was requested by first lady Mary Todd Lincoln during the dark hours following her husband's fatal shooting. Elizabeth is depicted in the painting The Last Hours of Abraham Lincoln, by Alonzo Chappel seated next to Mary who is sprawled across the dead body of President Lincoln.

Sorry for the delay folks, our systems went a bit haywire. However, we are back with an amazing episode with guest Elizabeth Dixon! More than just a speaker, Elizabeth is a winsome corporate executive and serial entrepreneur who connects with executives and their teams, integrating strategy, innovation, leadership and personal development in speeches that ignite conversation and inspire purposeful action. Leading service and hospitality strategy for Chick-fil-A, Elizabeth has driven the strategic direction central to the company's exponential growth from $6B-$13B annual sales. Through Elizabeth's influence and direction, Chick-fil-A continues to be recognized as #1 in QSR Customer Service year after year.
Mitch welcomes Chris Lamm, a mortgage advisor from the Redding, CA area. Chris' successes include $1 billion in funded loans, more than 600 five-star testimonials and 5,500 successful closings. He and Mitch talk about employees, mentors, health, control, and, of course, really good Mexican food. Mitch begins by introducing Chris and The Whole Enchilada spirit that drove him to become a loan officer and branch manager. Chris talks about how he started out solo and had to make a decision to grow his business or move on. Mitch asks what caused him to decide to grow. Chris cites a lot of resistance to growth, but began to see the advantages of it, including (and perhaps most importantly) the ability to help more people. Mitch brings up possibly the scariest part of scaling up a business: the more people you invite, the more people can ruin your good name. Chris talks about the importance of being careful of who you invite into your house and always being in touch with all departments of your business. He quotes the book Raving Fans and its principles of customer service. Mitch turns the conversation toward intrepreneurialism – a concept brought up by Elizabeth Dixon in Season 2, Episode 1 – and Chris responds with his dreams and goals and a surprising statistic about business owners who fail. The discussion moves on to mentors and Chris names a local investor as the guy who taught him to dream. He goes on to talk about the 2008-2009 housing crisis and subsequent recession and what he learned from it. Chris and Mitch get personal when Mitch asks Chris about the initial path that he was on. Celebrating 18 years of sobriety, Chris lends his own thoughts on how to overcome and survive and the two talk about the illusion of control and finding peace of mind. Mitch ends with the all-important question, “Where are we having Mexican food?” Chris immediately suggests Cabo san Lucas. He says it's no particular restaurant. It's more of the idea of eating where the locals eat…in a restaurant down an alley that has a sheet for a door. Those places always have the best carne asada, cooked right there in front of you. He wants a portion of lingua (the meat that tastes you back) and fresh tortillas. He wants his carne asada taco-style with lots of cilantro. When Mitch asks him how many, Chris says four or five and Mitch laughs, saying he'd like to have 10 or 12. Table Talk: Mitch opens Table Talk by revisiting Chris' little-by-little approach to success, remarking that it's a marathon, not a sprint. He even likens it to building a house: will it be your forever home or is this something you'll pass onto someone else? He quotes Richard Rohr about how familiarity and habits are falsely reassuring and that we should resist getting too comfortable. We should never stop going after the new. Gil talks about the first part of his career, when he worked in businesses with religious backgrounds, thinking it was the only real work. Years later, though, through a painful transition, he learned there is no first- or second-class work. Isaac says that his favorite part of the interview was Chris' insights about mentors. He quotes Season 2, Episode 4 guest, Rita Kirk, who said, “You're only as good as the best you've ever seen,” and cites a long list of people who have mentored him in a variety of ways. Erin rounds out Table Talk sharing the story of her 80-year-old whose all-American, button-up, corporate persona took a totally different path after his wife (Erin's mom) passed away. His journey from three-piece suit guy to spiritual guru reminded her of how Chris' path started one direction but took another.

“What is my purpose?” Why is it often hard to answer that question? Not knowing the answer may feel paralyzing and unnerving. We have all been there, including Elizabeth Dixon, our guest on this episode of The CourageToLead Podcast with Shawn Lovejoy. Elizabeth leads Strategy, Hospitality, and Service Design at Chick-Fil-A, Inc. Listen in as she offers 3 ways (plus an interactive exercise) to not only define your purpose, but also have confidence that it is built on a solid foundation.
Start-up CEO Mitch Santala talks to Elizabeth Dixon, the Principle Lead of Strategy, Hospitality, and Service Design at Chick-fil-A about her entrepreneurial background and the leadership principles that guide both her career and her personal life. Gil Moegerle starts Season Two off with a recap of Season One, where financial executive Brett explained the power of “No,” followed by PR practitioner, Jamie, reminding us that, “If your company sucks, PR is not your problem.” We're also reminded of Kimberly Thompson who loudly proclaimed her desire to bathe in the white queso dip of her very favorite boujie Mexican food restaurant. Mitch Santala then introduced the audience to entrepreneur and leader, Elizabeth Dixon, diving right into asking her how she defines an entrepreneur. Elizabeth's thoughtful answer includes a quote from Henry David Thoreau and the importance of working toward something bigger than yourself. She makes a point to mention that we should always add value to others. Mitch follows up by asking Elizabeth about the first time she realized she was an entrepreneur and Elizabeth gives a great story from her freshman year in college. Billy Blanks' Tae Bo, some hazardous conditions, and a non-existent wrestling team are all that it took to get her first small business off the ground. Mitch expands on Elizabeth's experience by commenting on how she took the initiative to get the project started. She had an idea, she solved the problem…then she asked for help. Elizabeth continues the conversation about taking one step at a time, citing the story of how Netflix was born from a bad experience with late fees. The topic shifts to branding when Mitch asks Elizabeth about raising kids to create their own brand. Elizabeth quips that kids are sponges and that we shouldn't be afraid to talk about entrepreneurial concepts with them while they are young. She says that being your own brand is your authenticity and talks about paycheck vs purpose. Mitch also brings up best practices in innovation and customer loyalty and Elizabeth proudly notes that innovation is decentralized at Chick-Fil-A. She explains that customer expectations are always evolving and likens the lack of innovation in business to the Sports Illustrated effect for athletes. Mitch agrees that hubris should not get in the way, because that's where innovation dies. The two discuss the difference between side hustles and side hassles and the struggle that comes with being an entrepreneur – they're always building or creating something. If you don't give them something to do…watch out. Mitch and Elizabeth also agree on maintaining the health of your priorities before you start down an additional path. Anyone who loves Chick-Fil-A, will get a kick out of the “My Pleasure” origin story that Elizabeth shares and, taking inspiration from Kanye West, Elizabeth describes the restaurant's Number One with a lemonade and the unique, chaste relationship the pickles have. Finally, Mitch asks our signature question: Where are we going for Mexican food and what are we having. Elizabeth doesn't hesitate to answer Taqueria del Sol, local Atlanta chain. They have a simple menu of six types of tacos, enchiladas, and sides and Elizabeth orders the pulled pork Carnitas. Mitch says he'll try one of those, too, with an additional carne asada for the heck of it. In true Chick-fil-A form, Mitch thanks Elizabeth for being on the show and she responds with, “My pleasure.” Links: Chick-Fil-A https://www.chick-fil-a.com/ The Infinite Game by Simon Cynic https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079DWSYYB/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 How the Mighty Fall by Jim Collins https://www.amazon.com/How-Mighty-Fall-Companies-Never-ebook/dp/B0058DRTYY/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=how+the+mighty+fall&qid=1614785306&s=digital-text&sr=1-1 Taqueria del Sol http://www.taqueriadelsol.com/ Subscribe to our podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google, and Stitcher.

Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“ Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“ Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
