What do you think of when you hear the word “entrepreneur?” Maybe start-ups or daring founders in their garages? But the entrepreneurial mindset goes far beyond launching a company on a seed of an idea. It's a way of thinking that's rooted in history, yet more relevant than ever today, shaping how we see opportunities, solve problems, and create impact across every sector. To understand why this mindset matters—and how to develop it—we'll take a look at its roots in history, the traits that define entrepreneurial thinkers, and the ways it can influence both personal growth and organizational success today, especially with the growth of AI.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by Sumit Pal, who in the last 12 months at RNT has absolutely crushed it with his health, fitness, and overall lifestyle change. Sumit is over 20 kilos down now. One of his drivers when he first started was to have the energy and vitality to be at his absolute best as a dad and to help instil long-term lifestyle habits with the family. He's not only accomplished those two, he's also hit his third goal which was to improve his performance on the cricket pitch. As a recreational cricketer, he's gone from playing in the over 40s to now knocking it about with the 20 year olds. Sumit travels for work pretty much every 2-4 weeks to the States and all over, so despite changing time zones and constantly different environments, he's managed to stay on track and absolutely nailed the process. This is a great example of what happens when you go all in on your transformation.

We live in a culture obsessed with fairness. The word is heavy with scales, tallies, and invisible scoreboards. Did I do my part? Did they? Am I getting what I deserve? Is someone getting more than me? Fairness sounds righteous on the surface, but when you live inside it, fairness is a trap. It drives us inward, judging ourselves and everyone else against an impossible standard, measuring every crumb, every kindness, every silence.When fairness rules, love shrinks. We second-guess our own thoughts, scold ourselves for favoritism, and keep our generosity under lock and key so we won't “give too much.” Fairness whispers that compassion must be rationed, that care must be weighed like coins, that justice is about sameness instead of healing.But the ancient call of Spirit is not fairness. It is equity.Equity is not about everyone receiving the same thing. It is about giving each person what they need. When I stop worrying whether I've distributed care evenly across every relationship, and instead ask, “What does this one need from me right now?” something shifts. Relief floods in. My shoulders unclench. I no longer have to police every interaction or keep score of invisible debts. I am free to meet the human being in front of me.That is the heart of justice. Justice is not sameness. Justice is not balancing a ledger. Justice is seeing clearly and acting rightly. It is equity.The Trap of FairnessFairness has become one of the most cherished myths of our time, especially in societies built on meritocracy. We are told from childhood: if you work hard, if you follow the rules, if you wait your turn, things will be fair. But fairness is fragile. It crumbles the moment we see how wealth, health, opportunity, and power are not evenly spread. It fractures when we notice how privilege tilts the scales. And it collapses entirely when we realize that life itself is not fair: illness, disaster, and tragedy visit without rhyme or reason.When fairness fails, many double down. We chase punishments and rewards, lawsuits and policies, hoping someone, somewhere, will enforce the rules of fairness. But the more tightly we cling to fairness, the more bitter and exhausted we become. The constant comparison, who has more, who has less, who “deserves” what, keeps us in a state of judgment, always suspicious, always resentful.Fairness was never enough.The Relief of EquityEquity breaks the spell. Equity says: stop measuring. Stop comparing. Look at the person before you and ask, “What do they need?”Some need encouragement, others need listening, others need space. Some need bread for their table, others need a place to belong, others need protection from harm. Justice is not everyone receiving the same thing. Justice is everyone receiving what will allow them to live, to heal, to flourish.When we shift to equity, the anxiety of fairness dissolves. Instead of wondering, “Am I doing enough for everyone equally?” we ask, “Am I present, honest, and caring in this relationship?” It becomes practical. Relational. Human.That first step is where the practice begins: check your relationships. Are you being equitable with those around you? Not fair, but equitable. Does your friend who is grieving receive your tenderness, even if that means you cancel plans with someone else? Does your coworker who is struggling receive your help, even if it takes more of your time than another? Do you allow yourself to receive what you need, even if someone else doesn't understand?This is equity. It feels like a deep sigh, a release from the tyranny of fairness.From Personal to CommunalThe small shift in our relationships points toward a larger horizon. If justice is equity in the personal sphere, then justice is equity in the communal sphere as well.When we give only what is fair, society becomes rigid. Schools, hospitals, workplaces, and governments end up enforcing sameness, not care. But when we design systems with equity in mind, we look at who has been excluded, who has been harmed, who carries heavier burdens, and we act to rebalance.Equity notices that some need ramps, others need interpreters, others need affordable medicine, others need safety from violence. Equity doesn't ask who deserves it. Equity doesn't weigh worthiness. Equity simply acts to provide what is needed so that everyone can participate fully in life.To treat one person unjustly is to treat everyone unjustly. Because once we decide that someone can be excluded, neglected, or silenced in the name of fairness, we set a precedent that eventually comes for us all. Equity protects the whole by tending to the part.Scarcity and the Lie of DeservednessOne of the deepest obstacles to equity is the myth of scarcity. We are taught to believe there is not enough: enough food, enough time, enough money, enough love. And in a world of scarcity, equity sounds threatening. If they get what they need, will there be enough left for me?But scarcity is a lie. Our world already produces more food than we consume, more wealth than we distribute, more capacity for care than we unleash. Scarcity is an invention of empire, a tool to keep us grasping and competing instead of sharing and creating.Deservedness is scarcity's twin. We spend endless hours debating who deserves help, who deserves opportunity, who deserves compassion. But nobody deserves anything. Deserve is the wrong question. The right question is: what do they need?When we stop asking “Who deserves?” and start asking “What is needed?” the world changes. Compassion flows more freely. Communities grow stronger. Justice becomes possible.Living Into the PossibleThe call is not abstract. The call is practical. Begin with your relationships. Ask what equity looks like in your friendships, in your family, in your community. Practice it, even in small ways. Notice the relief it brings.Then lift your eyes. See the wider society. Ask: who around me is not receiving what they need to flourish? What can I do, in partnership with others, to change that? Sometimes the answer is mutual aid. Sometimes it is advocacy. Sometimes it is simply showing up and standing alongside the vulnerable.Justice is not waiting for laws to be rewritten or for leaders to act. Justice is practicing equity now, in our daily lives, in our choices, in our commitments.The dream is an equitable society. A world where no one is left behind, no one is cast aside, no one is told to earn their right to live. Every small act of equity is a seed of that world. The more seeds we plant, the more inevitable that world becomes.A Call to ActionSo here is the call: stop chasing fairness. Stop policing yourself with invisible scales. Stop rationing compassion. Let relief wash over you.Practice equity in your relationships. Ask what each person needs, and respond with love.Then widen your practice to your neighborhood, your community, your world. See where equity is missing, and act.Because justice is not a concept. Justice is a way of living. Justice is equity. Righteousness is right relationship. And the Spirit who made us longs for both.To treat one person unjustly is to treat everyone unjustly. But to treat one person equitably is to open the door for justice to grow everywhere.May we live as if an equitable world is already possible. And in our living, may we help bring it into being.Now find a quiet place. Sit comfortably. Close your eyes if you wish.Take a slow, steady breath in.Breathe in calm.Breathe out calm.Let your body settle. Let your spirit rest in the present moment.Now, softly speak these words aloud, letting each phrase open like a seed within you:May I treat myself with equity,giving myself what I need in this moment.May I treat my loved ones with equity,giving them what they need in this moment.May I treat my friends and community with equity,giving them what they need in this moment.May I treat my enemies with equity,giving them what they need in this moment.Rest again in silence. Feel how each phrase widens the circle of your care, from self, to loved ones, to community, to those who oppose you.Stay here as long as you need. Let the practice reshape your breath, your thoughts, your life.Thanks for reading!

In this episode, Guy talked with Michael Sandler and they explored the profound journey of embracing one's mystic nature by overcoming fears and following the pulls of the heart. Michael shared his experiences about the importance of surrender, the lessons learned from his spiritual practices, and the joys and challenges of being an empath. The conversation covered topics like balancing spiritual insights with daily life, maintaining personal boundaries, and practicing gratitude and love. They also discussed the impact of life experiences, such as becoming a parent and navigating professional pivots, on spiritual growth and authenticity. Michael invited listeners to join his School of Mystics for a transformative journey in expanding their consciousness and living authentically. About Michael: Michael Sandler is the co-host of the popular Inspire Nation Show, a transformational, self-help, spiritually focused podcast and YouTube channel, along with his wife, fellow coach, and teacher, Jessica Lee. He is a best-selling author, speaker, entrepreneur, visionary, coach, and the co-creator of Inspire Nation University and the Automatic Writing Experience online course. Having been a world-class athlete and coach, competing at the international level in cycling, along with being a competitive speed skater, Ironman triathlete, and runner, Michael has applied those same training skills to being a life coach to teachers, leaders, and visionaries. He is a life-long meditation practitioner and meditation teacher. Two near-death accidents led to the conception of the Inspire Nation show, the creation of the Automatic Writing Experience, and the writing of this book. These devastating accidents led Michael to a much deeper understanding about the world, of Spirit, and of our connection to something greater than ourselves. He calls this “getting the big picture” and from that this book emerged. Once driven purely by performance and results as an endurance athlete, Michael survived the near-fatal accidents that cracked his heart open and helped him discover a kinder, gentler way of moving through life, one that arguably makes an even greater impact on others and the planet. That's what he calls being an open-hearted warrior, and to his mission to elevate consciousness, shift humanity, and help people truly discover their greatest self. Despite twin titanium femurs and hips, as a result of the accidents, he continues to run, skate, bike, and play in the mountains or explore the world with Jessica, their daughter Hana, three kitty cats, along with Roo Roo the Wonder Rooster, always in prayer, always connected to Spirit.

I'm delighted, well, one, to have my, coffee in front of me, which is the most important part of all of this. There's not very much left in there at the moment, so I'm gonna need to refill that soon. But, I'm also delighted to to to welcome Ryan who tells me he has decaf coffee in front of him. So, don't, don't don't fall asleep on us, Ryan. You gotta be you gotta be entertaining us for the next twenty minutes or so. Ryan is a, keynote speaker, a coach, a fractional chief operating officer, and he really helps teams within the construction, architectural design space to navigate change, to think about the way in which they have to approach the changes that are, that are that they're approaching in their business. But it's a it's a it's a common problem that all business owners have to, think about, which is how do you navigate the changes in the business landscape around you.Stuart Webb [00:01:28]:So, Ryan, welcome to It's Not Rocket Science, five questions over coffee. Thoroughly looking forward to this. So, please, take your time to tell us a little bit more about how you help these teams to navigate change.Ryan Ware [00:01:41]:Yeah. Well, thank you for having me, Stuart. I appreciate the opportunity. I'm looking forward, to the questions and the conversation, even though it's decaf, try to run off natural energy.Stuart Webb [00:01:52]:That seems entirely reasonable. So let's start with the first question, which is Right. Let you I've already said that you work with sort of teams in the sort of architectural construction space. But, you know, the the common problem, who what are the sort of the the sort of give me the the the sort of common, ideal client, the person that sort of really is seeking sort of help from somebody like you at the moment.Ryan Ware [00:02:12]:Yeah. I I think there's a couple categories, but, generally, they they find themselves pretty much all in an area where they're recognizing that current state isn't exactly what they want. And they can envision this future state that they wanna get to. But they all, in some way, form, undervalue that middle that middle area. And that middle area is where things are uncertain, things are confusing, things, are unknown, and we've never seen them. We don't recognize them. It's what we call change. They undervalue that that time.Ryan Ware [00:02:52]:And by undervaluing it, they each have one group will overvalue current state and stay in it, and the other group will tend to rush through, that center area and and lack, the connection of human complexity into the change that's occurring whether in their individual life within a team or an organization.Stuart Webb [00:03:17]:And and tell me, Brian, I mean, you you you've been doing this for a while. You you you have some experience in it. What what are the sort of things that you've seen these business owners, these people within these sort of situations try before they reach you? I know when I've come across people that are doing this, they've they've they've normally done a bunch of things that try to help, but but rarely sort of, you know, seek out an expert such as yourself, and and I don't always succeed.Ryan Ware [00:03:44]:Yeah. It's you know, they say 70% of all change management and companies fail to meet the objective. And so a lot of times, what I mentioned in this middle area and undervaluing it, it's they'll they'll make an attempt on a new strategy, a new process, try a new solution within a project per se. And it doesn't go exactly as planned because they've never seen it before, and then they halt. And a lot of people will give up on that that center, change, area, which which is it takes a lot of time for us to learn something new, to develop, you know, new skills. We we already have habits. If we think about just a daily routine habit of getting up in the morning when who hasn't said, like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm sort of all out of sorts.Ryan Ware [00:04:34]:I got out of my routine in the morning.Stuart Webb [00:04:36]:Yeah. Yeah.Ryan Ware [00:04:38]:Yeah. When you get into that center area, what I see a lot of companies doing is, again, disconnecting the human side of change. And it's the objectives there. We wanna get this software put into place or there's a merger and acquisition done or or whatever. You know, it could be large or small sort of change that's occurring, but they don't go go to the humans and have the real conversation. So they'll they'll only bring up results and sort of go there. They won't drill any deeper, into the conversation to find out the root cause. They'll, they'll overvalue that current state as being something like, hey.Ryan Ware [00:05:21]:I've already been doing this a long time. I know how to do it, versus sort of a beginner's mindset of how do I test this? You know? How how do I work through through this change in order to learn? And I think you come from the world of science, and I try to tell everybody's like, we treated every project sort of as a laboratory or a change internally as this free testing zone to to regain knowledge on something that we've never seen before, it doesn't mean that we aren't taking what we've already known and just eliminating it. We're actually able to sort of stack on and and and grow. And I just find people rush through this. They see the goal, and they wanna rush through it. It's like, hey. You know, as simple as, hey. I wanna lose some weight.Ryan Ware [00:06:11]:Well, you can't just rush through that process, but you can start to recognize each day the little wins, and, you know, you don't rush through university. You know, the beauty of that the beauty of university is you go in and you're developing your learning. And even though you wanna be on the other side of it, even though you know at the end of the clarity is to graduate, you don't know what's happening on a daily basis. You can see the courses, but you don't know for sure. But where you're really in growth is that that middle confusion, you know, unknown territory that allows you to develop, and to begin to build a stronger relationship with change because you're now recognizing it as as an opportunity and a positive, not as a disruption or a cost or or a burden, to yourself.Stuart Webb [00:07:04]:Yeah. And I think you've mentioned two things. And and and and, what comes across to me most resonantly is change is tough, change is hard, people's habits. I mean I often remember the sort of the exercise I was taught when I was doing some of this which is you know this is the way you like, naturally lock your fingers. But if you do it the other way, it feels wrong, and it feels unnatural, and you desperately want to get back to the way it feels right. And just that action of sort of holding it there can make you feel uncomfortable, can make you feel very, very exposed if you like. And and just having to do that behavior change or or introduce something new takes people time to sort of understand that things won't be as threatening as perhaps they feel it is when they first come across it. And and the other thing is you say is is that sometimes when you when you are in that state, when you're when you're uncomfortable and when it's when it's you you have to start to think to yourself, okay.Stuart Webb [00:08:02]:This might not might not be as threatening as I first thought it was, but I have to want to learn to go through this. And getting to that mindset of wanting is kind of tough for a lot of people. You know, the business owner just wants to get them through it, and they're going, I was comfortable. Why why why are you making me do stuff which you don't? I I've got enough discomfort when I go home. You know? I've got a a family that I've gotta deal with. Why make me go through this discomfort now? I just wanna come here and be comfortable and and enjoy myself. You know? This is tough.Ryan Ware [00:08:32]:Yeah. It it's what I call willing participants first forced compliance. Right? So this is where leaders sort of begin to get it a little off track. A lot of times, they'll they're they're up the hill, and they believe they've said it, so therefore, the change is happening. And you have a middle layer who is trying to initiate the change, and everyone has their own their own agenda and their own goals towards the bigger goal. And this is where the human the human side, having that empathy of how difficult it is as a human to change. Like, just, you know, go do something simple. Get a new haircut, which I don't have the privilege to do anymore.Ryan Ware [00:09:13]:But, like, go change a style. Get a new shirt. Get a new get something small. How long does it take to adjust? And and when you start to recognize that within yourself and give yourself that time, that grace of adjustment period towards something new, you you can extend that same empathy towards others on your team, whether you're all coworkers or you are the manager or you're the leader. But when you when you connect the change to to humans and our and the way our brains want to function without getting into a lot of the science, because I know a lot of your shows have been able to already start to explain that, you described habits. They're great. They're perfect. We want them because that's where we're we can speed up and and be what we consider it our most efficient.Ryan Ware [00:10:03]:But we really hold on to that as, again, that overvalued state versus achieving what we want to. Like, taking seeing this middle area of it's always, you know, going to be a little unclear. The goal is there, but how you get there is going to still be unclear. You you overvalue that pain of going through it or the work to go through it or the the some people look at it as like, well, what if I fail? I'll be embarrassed. And what if I'm wrong? Mhmm.Stuart Webb [00:10:38]:First,Ryan Ware [00:10:38]:you know, believing in yourself and saying, like, I value that I have the ability to get through this. And even when it's not exactly what I thought, I can reframe my thought process in that moment of I've been here somewhere near here before. I've been through these things. I have the ability and think through with the team. But if we think embarrassment is, like, the end, or or we've thought something our whole life, and now it's wrong, and and we're afraid to say it and hold on to something, there's actually more cost to that and more pain to that. But we but we've it's familiar, so we keep it.Stuart Webb [00:11:24]:Yeah. And learning is hard, isn't it? I mean, well, I mean, we could we could do an entire an entire twenty, thirty hours on just learning. But I mean, learning is is is hard but is often undervalued in these situations. And I and I think you're absolutely right. People too often go back to when a a learning situation was difficult for them and go, well, I just don't wanna be there. You know, we we have to find these easy ramps, these easy paths, don't we? Yeah. And I'm I'm I'm gonna sort of bring in now because I think you've got some great, some some great some great offers and things that people, which we've put into our our our free stuff vault, where Ryan just took us through. I know there are a couple of offers in there, but, people, if you you go and go and look at these immediately.Stuart Webb [00:12:09]:In my opinion, immediately is is is is is possibly too too strong to work. But you need to get a hold of these and have a look at what Ryan is is is is giving giving away in terms of his valuable advice. Ryan, just talk us through, sort of some of the stuff that you've been able to sort of, offer to the listeners here.Ryan Ware [00:12:27]:Yeah. So we've got a couple ebooks that are out there really around mindset and and, you know, also just being able to navigate change by being more curious. Like, curiosity is, like, the key to me of change, and also this this idea that it's okay to be wrong once in a while. And what I mean by that, it's not, it's not that we always wanna just stand, you know, and fight against something that that we don't truly believe in, but that you could attempt to do something, and it's it may not go exactly as you thought. But now you know. And this is that world of science, and I'm trying you know, these these areas are about reframing our our thought about our relationship with change. And there's some steps and some things that you can go into, especially in chapter three of the the change mindset that some activities that you can begin to put yourself through that will help you sort of, like, assess your own relationship. Because I don't you know, you can't drive change as an individual in the company if you're not usually a willing participant or you aren't quite sure how how you react.Ryan Ware [00:13:44]:How do your emotions come up when something happens, until you recognize that your relationship with change tends to be one-sided. And no relationship is strong when when it's one-sided. Right. And I would say the other thing that we're we're you know, we typically will do is a strategy session or a discovery call because there's there's no one problem. As a coach or consultant, every company is different. While there's some similarities, it's just getting to know. I've gotta get closer to the team. I've gotta get closer to the problem to to be able to assess and work with them and build a relationship because, you know, consulting is is advice.Ryan Ware [00:14:28]:Coaching is questions. Like, I'm trying to get to your curiosity level to help you explore. And, you know, it's, to me, like, even with the speaking, I am just trying to spark enough curiosity that makes people start to question, like, I don't know. How did I learn this? Where did I get it from? Things like that to to be willing to say, hey. I'm curious enough to to go through this, like you said, and and begin to makeStuart Webb [00:14:58]:I think that's a brilliant way of putting it because to to make that sort of change for you to to start that journey. I mean, it doesn't matter where you are within an organization. You have to be curious about your own beliefs, your own your own behaviors, in order to get to the stage where you go, I now need to move beyond this this behavioral pattern, which which which has which has caused me to stay where I am. Because, you know, I I said this to one organization very recently who said, well, you we're talking specifically about the fact that, you know, their their growth had stalled. And I said, well, it hasn't stalled. It's going backwards because the world is advancing. Whether you like it or not, everybody around you is moving on. And so if you're sort of staying static, it means you're losing relative to everybody else two, three, four, five percent a year.Stuart Webb [00:15:51]:So you have to be changing constantly. Otherwise, you are behind. You're you're losing just by the fact that you're saying, well, I'm comfortable where I am. You you you're in actual fact losing. And so having that cautious sort of, belief that you need to question is absolutely critical to that whole process. I love what you were saying.Ryan Ware [00:16:11]:Yeah. I think it's we we forget that we're changing from the moment we're born.Stuart Webb [00:16:16]:Yeah. Yeah.Ryan Ware [00:16:17]:Life is constantly changing, but we're all you know, I I think it is. It's important that we have we create habits because we're taught that. Like, there's there's a reason that that you have to go through routines, and you gotta get them in sort of ingrained and embedded. But where I started questioning things, you know, little things is, like, as I learned math, my parents were teaching me. Those teachers were teaching me. Everyone had learned math the same way. But when I started teaching my son, I had never seen some of the new math that was coming through. And while I could be frustrated and I and I probably did get frustrated, like, why can't I figure this out? Why can't I learn it? I started realizing that the challenges that that generation is gonna have are different than than ours, but we we've learned math the same way, or we've done things the same way as all the other generations prior.Ryan Ware [00:17:09]:And without questioning, like, where where did we figure this? Where did we learn this? Or, you know, why do I believe this? Without doing that exploration, like, we're we're sort of allowing like, we love choice and we love control, but we're allowing other things to control us by not questioning it. And even though it may not be different, without knowing, we're letting someone else make a choice for us.Stuart Webb [00:17:35]:Brian, there must have been a, book, of course, a life experience that brought you to where you are with this knowledge, with this understanding, with this with this expertise in how to help construction companies go through the sort of changes you're talking about. Where did that come from? What was the what was the origination of of that? What was the book, of course, that you you think you'd recommend others sort of think about?Ryan Ware [00:18:01]:Yeah. I think that I think the book that really hit home was Carol Dweck's mindset. Courtney, you know, which is a couple decades old. But the just the things that I was seeing on a daily basis of how I was practicing architecture and then and left architecture and got into construction and was really trying to get people to reevaluate how they were building. You know, I watched, like, why isn't this taken off? I started just questioning, like, you know, this has been around a hundred years. Why isn't this taken off? Like, you know, we know there's other problems, like, all of it, labor shortage, all of these things occurring. It just I needed to know, like, what was the resistance? And it Yeah. You know, we could say it's risk.Ryan Ware [00:18:47]:We can say all of these things, but I just needed to start to understand the human mind. So reading mindset by Carol Dweck kicked off this this area for me to start thinking about, you know, how I train people in architecture, how I learn, how I wanted to take more of a coaching approach to it, and stretching people's minds as I was going through a change and implementing, you know, process and, you know, into those conversations because I couldn't force I couldn't force them to do it. If I've forced groups to to take on what I was trying to put in front of them as as, hey. Here's a new method to construction. Try it. They that's when they go into defense. Right? And and it it didn't work, or I don't have a choice. Someone is making me do this, opposed to using more curiosity, you know, kinda driven questions while having conversations with them.Ryan Ware [00:19:51]:Mhmm. You're trying to get trying to get them into not just their idea, but becoming those willing participants. So, you know, whether it's, you know, the Carol Dweck's and then reading a lot of the Dan Heath books. But one of my most favorite recent books is Amy Edmondson from Harvard, which wrote The Right Kind of Wrong. And you beingStuart Webb [00:20:15]:Great book.Ryan Ware [00:20:16]:From science. Right? Like, it's a it's a beautiful area where you you go back to that curiosity and exploration where just because you didn't get the answer today with all of the work that you did, it wasn't lost because you're using that experience as, like, we just know this didn't wasn't the right answer. It doesn't mean it's a wrong end. It just means it's one step closer to the right answer Yeah. Than being able to bounce back quicker. And I think that's one of the you know, that book has allowed me to be like, we have to think differently in this industry to address our problems. We we've got to kind of stretch our mind into into more curiosity sort of building experiences that create the project like a lab that we get the freedom to be wrong once in a while to make a mistake that some would say is too costly, which we're not talking about, like, you know, the buildings collapsing. We're we're talking about just selecting a new method, selecting a new delivery model, selecting a new material finish that that addresses other areas.Ryan Ware [00:21:26]:So, anyway, those are probably some of the books, but I would say the the one right now is Amy Edmondson's.Stuart Webb [00:21:32]:And I think Amy Edmondson has a a wonderful way of looking at it from all the way over from the malicious intent to destroy you through to the, hey. I was experimenting and that's a good thing, which we all have to bear in mind. You know, the the the the occasions in in which you know, you're talking about buildings collapse. There was one that I know she's talked about a little bit, which is a hotel that that unfortunately collapsed because somebody just didn't do the calculation, but that was because they were in the wrong mindset. So you you have to put yourself in the right mindset, Damien. That's the change is all about the mindset as you've been talking about and getting the right mindset. You know? Am I here? Should I be here in the I need to question everything because this is a safety critical issue, or, hey. This is a time for experimentation to learn and develop and grow.Ryan Ware [00:22:25]:Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I I'm a child of, you know, the eighties and the challengers. A perfect example for me of one where information's sort of there, and sometimes we're afraid to talk about it. Sometimes we're whatever the reason. Right? And I just think that creating that safe zone is you everyone can say we're creating a safe zone of kind of that learning environment. But by by really as leaders, if you're going through a change, getting just going through questions, getting to everybody's curiosity gets them to become more willing participants. But you don't have to start it with a change per se.Ryan Ware [00:23:06]:You don't have to be going through a massive change to begin building a stronger relationships with change. You just have to sort of start with yourself and something you've been thinking about, something you wanted to learn, something you wanted to try, you know, anything to go into that that exploration. SoStuart Webb [00:23:27]:Ryan, I I I'm very aware that I've been sort of asking you questions that have sparked my curiosity, but possibly are the wrong questions for, people, who have sort of, understanding of this. And and and there must be one question that you really think at the moment I should have by now asked, and it's very, it's very foolish of me not to have asked it. So I'm just gonna ask you to tell me what that question is. What is the question that I should have asked you? And and, obviously, once you've you've posed the question, you're the expert. You're gonna have to answer it for me, which is, which is the only way that, I can I can get through doing this? So what's the question, Ryan, that I should have asked you by this stage?Ryan Ware [00:24:05]:Yeah. I think I'll I'll stay, I'll stay in a little bit of just kinda giving, an opportunity for the for the listeners to to test something. So it would probably be is, like, what is one thing that they could do starting right now in order to, kind of reframe their thought on relationship with change? And I would say this goes back to that change mindset ebook, which has some strategies in there. But I would just I I typically like people to just start with something in their their life that it could be small like, pick a small thing that you could just win on or something that you've known your whole life, and you haven't really questioned it. And the reason I say something like that is, as a kid, you know, for a long time, we thought, you know, something happened to a child actor, in a life commercial. Because we were told that, and we believed it, and we never validated. And your whole life, you go through these things like, hey. Something something might be true.Ryan Ware [00:25:15]:So my question my question for them would be is pick something in your life that you were taught and you believed pretty much your whole life, but you've always felt like, there's no way this is valid. There's no way it's exactly like this. And maybe it sounds a huge impact, but just start asking the question. Where did I learn it? Who taught it to me? Who taught it to them? Is it still valid? What situations were different? What would have to be true today in order for this to be false or even further in the truth? Just to start to stretch your mind into it's okay to ask questions. It's okay to start to wonder, like, I don't know. I don't know if this is real. I don't know if this is true. And I would pick on the construction industry and say, like, because we're taught, that's exactly how we do it, or how we design or how we set up a sheet or whatever, in a set of documents, that doesn't mean it's true.Ryan Ware [00:26:19]:It could be something that someone set into motion years ago and just happens to become part of the process, but it's not real. And I think you just have to be willing to start asking questions and see where you get and just just to test it. You know? Just stretch yourself a little bit into this new way of thinking opposed to sitting in this current state of, like, well, I just I think it's too hard to go through the change. I don't wanna ask the question. What if somebody thinks I'm not intelligent enough because I didn't know the answer? Or, you know, because I've been here for five years, I've been doing it. Will I look, you know, silly or embarrassed? Because, you know, you read the book Traction or anything in kinda operation systems and think through it. They'll say, like, hey. If you're not embarrassed, you haven't gone deep enough.Ryan Ware [00:27:11]:But I I would just say, like, it's you don't have to be embarrassed by it. It actually is this moment of, like, like, an moment. It's actually this beautiful like, I keep talking about this beautiful thing that has changed, which is that's where you're growing. That's where you're learning. It's not where you're actually being downgraded or suppressed. You're in you're in an area of this freedom to to, yeah, you know, sort of explore your, kind of a beginner's mindset again ofStuart Webb [00:27:47]:I love that. I love that. And I think that's a really important message as we come to the end of this because, you know, change doesn't have to be embarrassing. Change doesn't have to be, I can only do it if I'm really hanging out there. Sometimes the incremental, sometimes the small steps to help you get there can be just as effective, and it's about taking yourself from the the mindset of I just wanna be comfortable through to the curious, which actually is probably the biggest shift that you can go through. Mhmm. Ryan, what a, a lot to think about, and I'm really grateful for the fact that you you spent sort of twenty, twenty five minutes with us just sort of talking us through some of that. Thank you so much.Stuart Webb [00:28:34]:Listen, I I'm just gonna do a little tiny bit of self promotion at the end of this. If you would like to get onto the mailing list so that you get an email, once a week, which sort of tells you who's coming up and so that you can join the the the the the LinkedIn live to to listen to some of the real experts in this, in this sort of stuff like Ryan talking to you, go to, www.systemize.me/subscribe. It's as simple as systemize.me/subscribe. And there's a simple form. It asks you for your first name and your email address, and that's it.

Is the “nuclear family” actually traditional—or even healthy—for your kids and marriage?In this conversation, Greg & Rachel challenge a BIG cultural myth: the nuclear family (mom + dad + kids, all on their own) isn't historically normal—and it's often unhealthy and lonely in today's hyper-digital world. Instead, they unpack what families did for most of human history—intergenerational, community-based, “tribal” living—and how ordinary parents can start moving that direction without selling everything or going off-grid.You'll learn how to question handed-down narratives, re-design work, school, and home life, and flip the ratio so your family spends more time together than apart—building skills, wealth, and resilience as a team.Highlights you'll hear:Why isolation (9–5 + separate schools + separate lives) isn't “traditional”—it's recent.How multigenerational & community living builds real support, mental health, and generational wealth.Simple first steps: shared meals, home projects, family business ideas, skill-building, and flexible work.The future of family in the age of AI: double down on what only humans do—connection, empathy, creativity.A practical reframe: “What would have to be true for us to live, learn, and work together more?”If you're tired of doing family alone, this episode shows a realistic path toward tribe-style living—whether you're in a city apartment, suburban neighborhood, or a budding homestead. You don't need to move tomorrow; you just need to start asking better questions today.Key Takeaways✅ The nuclear family is modern, not “traditional.”✅ Community > isolation for happiness, mental health, and stability.✅ Shared work/learning = faster maturity, marketable skills, and generational wealth.✅ Design life on purpose: meals together, family projects, aligned work/school choices.✅ AI future = be more human: build in-person connection and a supportive tribe.Chapters00:00 Questioning Conventional Family Norms02:53 The Evolution of Family Structures05:48 The Importance of Community and Connection08:28 Exploring Unconventional Lifestyles11:23 Redefining Family Dynamics14:01 The Future of Family Life16:35 Creating a Supportive Family Environment19:48 Building Generational Wealth Together22:30 Embracing Change and New Possibilities25:12 Living Life on Your Own Terms28:18 The Role of Technology in Family Life31:06 Designing Your Ideal Family LifeMemorable Quotes

When God Spoke to Me: A Journey of Personal Transformation Have you ever wondered what it feels like when God speaks to you? It's a profound experience that can lead to a Personal Transformation. Imagine walking down the street and suddenly feeling a sense of clarity and purpose. It's as if God spoke to me through a stranger, offering insights I never expected. What if I told you that God spoke to me in my head during moments of doubt? These experiences have shaped my life in ways I couldn't have imagined. It's not just about hearing a voice; it's about understanding the message and embracing the change it brings. The Power of Unexpected Encounters Sometimes, God spoke to me through another person, and it was in these moments that I found the guidance I needed. These encounters often come when we least expect them, offering a new perspective on our journey. It's amazing how a simple conversation can lead to a Personal Transformation. Listening to the Inner Voice There are times when God spoke to me in my head, providing comfort and direction. This inner voice can be a powerful tool for change, helping us navigate life's challenges. By tuning in, we can discover a path to Personal Transformation that aligns with our true purpose. Embracing Change and Growth Every time God spoke to me through a stranger, it was a reminder that growth often comes from unexpected places. For Ken Miller, God spoke to him as he started his third jail sentence. These moments of connection can inspire us to embrace change and pursue a life of meaning and fulfilment. It's about recognising the signs and taking action towards a Personal Transformation. In conclusion, the journey of Personal Transformation is deeply personal and unique to each individual. Whether God spoke to me through another person or God spoke to me in my head, these experiences have been pivotal in shaping my path. Embrace these moments, and let them guide you towards a life of purpose and fulfilment.

Sally shares her inspiring journey from dance and theater to yoga instruction, highlighting how yoga and running have shaped her life. The conversation covers the welcoming spirit of The Yoga Effect studio, its diverse classes, and the importance of community in Grayslake. Fun rapid-fire questions reveal Sally's personality, while local sponsors and events reinforce the hometown feel. Listeners are invited to try a free yoga class and discover the benefits of mindfulness, movement, and connection in Grayslake. The True Essence of Yoga: Beyond the Poses Sally Gill's journey with yoga began not with the physical postures, but with meditation and breathwork—tools she used to manage performance anxiety as a young dancer. This foundation shaped her understanding of yoga as a holistic practice. Key Insights: Yoga is an Eight-Limbed Path: While most people associate yoga with physical poses (asanas), Sally emphasizes that yoga encompasses eight elements, including ethical principles, breath control (pranayama), and meditation (dhyana). Actionable Tip: Explore breathwork and meditation alongside physical practice. Even a few minutes of mindful breathing can reduce stress and improve focus. Stillness is Powerful: The most challenging pose, according to Sally, is often shavasana (final relaxation). Lying still and being present is where true transformation happens. Actionable Tip: Don't skip shavasana! Allow yourself time at the end of each practice to rest and absorb the benefits. Yoga Sparks Creativity: Sally finds her best ideas come during moments of stillness, especially in shavasana. Actionable Tip: Use your yoga practice as a space for creative reflection. Keep a journal nearby to capture insights that arise. Yoga for Everyone: Breaking Down Barriers A recurring theme in the episode is the inclusivity of yoga. Sally is passionate about dispelling the myth that yoga is only for the flexible or physically adept. Key Insights: Yoga is for All Ages, Genders, and Abilities: The Yoga Effect welcomes everyone, regardless of experience or physical condition. Actionable Tip: If you're new or hesitant, start with a gentle or restorative class. These are designed to be accessible and supportive. Men in Yoga: While 70% of students are women, men are increasingly discovering the benefits, especially in restorative classes. Actionable Tip: Men: Try a restorative or gentle class. You might be surprised by the mental and physical benefits. No Need for Perfection: Yoga is about presence, not performance. Actionable Tip: Focus on how you feel, not how you look. Progress in yoga is measured by increased awareness and comfort, not by achieving advanced poses. Building Community Through Yoga The Yoga Effect is more than a studio—it's a hub for connection and support in Grayslake. Key Insights: A Welcoming Space: The studio's recent move to a larger, more accessible location reflects its commitment to serving the community. Actionable Tip: Engage with your local studio's events and social media. Community is built both inside and outside the classroom. Long-Term Relationships: Many students have practiced at The Yoga Effect since its founding, forming deep friendships and support networks. Actionable Tip: Attend workshops, retreats, or social events to deepen your connections. Supporting Local Businesses: The podcast highlights the interconnectedness of Grayslake's business community, from yoga studios to real estate agents and legal services. Actionable Tip: Support local businesses and participate in community events to foster a sense of belonging. Yoga and Running: A Powerful Partnership Sally's passion for running complements her yoga practice, illustrating how the two disciplines support each other. Key Insights: Running as Moving Meditation: For Sally, running is a form of meditation, offering clarity and presence. Actionable Tip: Try mindful running: focus on your breath and surroundings rather than speed or distance. Yoga for Runners: Yoga helps runners with flexibility, injury prevention, and recovery. Actionable Tip: Incorporate yoga stretches before and after runs. Attend yoga classes designed for athletes. Endurance and Willpower: Sally's experience with long-distance running underscores the mental strength developed through both yoga and running. Actionable Tip: Use yoga to build resilience and mental fortitude, skills that translate to all areas of life. Retreats, Workshops, and Lifelong Learning The Yoga Effect offers more than regular classes—it's a center for growth and exploration. Key Insights: Diverse Offerings: With 23–25 classes weekly and 15 teachers, there's something for every schedule and interest. Actionable Tip: Explore different class styles to find what resonates with you. Retreats and Workshops: Retreats combine yoga, meditation, journaling, and mindful eating, often inspired by longevity hotspots like Italy's Blue Zones. Actionable Tip: Attend a retreat or workshop to deepen your practice and connect with others. Continuing Education: Even experienced teachers benefit from learning and practicing with others. Actionable Tip: Stay curious. Take classes from different instructors and seek out new learning opportunities. Actionable Tips for Yoga Beginners Sally offers practical advice for those new to yoga or considering their first class. Step-by-Step Guide: Start with Gentle or Beginner Classes: Restorative yoga can be challenging for absolute beginners; gentle classes offer a supportive introduction. Use Props: Don't hesitate to use blocks, straps, or bolsters. They make poses more accessible and comfortable. Focus on Breath: Breathwork is foundational. Practice simple breathing exercises to calm the mind and body. Be Patient with Yourself: Progress takes time. Celebrate small victories and listen to your body. Take Advantage of Free Offers: The Yoga Effect offers a free first class—sign up online or email Sally directly (sally@theyogaeffect.com) and mention the podcast for your complimentary session. Prioritize Consistency Over Intensity: Regular practice, even if brief, is more beneficial than occasional intense sessions. Embracing Change and Finding Your Path Sally's story is a testament to resilience and the unexpected gifts of change. Key Insights: Turning Setbacks into Opportunities: Losing her corporate job at 40 was devastating, but it opened the door to a more fulfilling life teaching yoga and theater arts. Living Authentically: Sally's journey underscores the importance of aligning your work with your values and passions. Advice for Life's Crossroads: When faced with change, look for the hidden opportunities. Trust that new paths can lead to greater fulfillment. The Grayslake Spirit: Local Businesses and Community The episode is woven with shout-outs to Grayslake's vibrant business community, from physical therapy centers to local breweries and the farmer's market. Key Insights: Community Support: Local businesses, like The Yoga Effect, play a vital role in revitalizing and sustaining the town's spirit. Events and Engagement: Participating in local events, such as the farmer's market or bingo night, strengthens community bonds. Resource Sharing: The podcast's sponsors and guests highlight the value of sharing resources and supporting one another. Final Thoughts: Taking the First Step Yoga is self-care, community, and a path to personal growth. Sally Gill's story and The Yoga Effect's mission remind us that it's never too late to start, and that everyone—regardless of background or ability—can benefit from yoga.

In this episode of the Unconventional Ministry podcast, Dennis Wiens and Jon Hirst, (https://innovationinmission.com/) discuss the concept of innovation within ministry contexts.

What happens when we stand at the threshold of transformation, no longer who we once were but not yet who we're becoming? Dr. BethAnne Kapansky Wright guides us through this sacred liminal space, sharing powerful passages from her book "Transformations of the Sun" that illuminate the courage required to embrace change.Key talking points include: • Reading from the poem "In Between" about no longer being the person you used to be while not yet becoming who you're stepping into• Personal story of leaving Alaska for Kauai and the emotional challenge of following soul guidance others couldn't understand• Exploration of "the wild unknown" - that spiritual wilderness where we must learn to trust our internal compass• Discussion of how initial certainty in decision-making often gives way to doubt when transformation becomes uncomfortable• Reflections on how our souls rejoice in the struggle even when our human minds resist change• Importance of having small anchors during change while still surrendering to the deeper processThe true gift of this episode lies in Dr. BethAnn's gentle reminder that transformation necessarily involves discomfort. When we follow a soul calling, we often experience initial certainty that later gives way to doubt and questioning. Yet it's precisely in this grappling that we discover unexpected strengths and access deeper wisdom. As she beautifully expresses through her poem "Submergence," we must allow ourselves to unravel before we can "knit ourselves back into new shapes and hue." The invitation is clear: can we trust our internal compass when external validation fails? Can we surrender to the "river beneath the river" and allow our soul's alchemy to unfold at its own perfect pace? Join Dr. BethAnn in this intimate exploration of what it truly means to trust the process of becoming who we're meant to be.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.
