Are you struggling to retain top sales talent because your team members can't find meaning in their work? The secret isn't just about hitting revenue targets—it's about building a purpose-driven organization that attracts exceptional people and creates lasting value.      In this episode, I sit down with Enrique Alvarez, co-founder and managing director of Vector Global Logistics, to explore how purpose and profit can coexist in high-performance sales organizations. Enrique shares his unique approach to building a global sales team that operates on three core pillars, including their groundbreaking Results-Only Work Environment and complete transparency policy. From Transactional to Transformational Vector Global Logistics has cracked the code on shifting from short-term transactional relationships to long-term transformational partnerships. Enrique reveals their comprehensive hiring process, including how they identify candidates who can build authentic relationships rather than just close deals quickly. You'll discover their unconventional approach to transparency, including sharing everyone's salaries, company financials, and decision-making processes with the entire team. This radical openness creates trust and empowers sales professionals to make better decisions for both customers and the company. AI Integration with Human Connection We explore how Vector Global Logistics leverages AI tools while maintaining the human touch that drives real relationships. Enrique shares practical examples of using AI for customs entries, tracking shipments, and market analysis—all while ensuring their sales team focuses on what AI can't do: building genuine personal connections. The conversation covers the critical balance between automation and personalization, and why rushing to implement AI without human oversight can damage the very relationships that drive long-term success. Building Global Sales Teams With team members across China, Vietnam, India, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Ukraine, and beyond, Enrique provides insights into managing a truly global sales organization. He shares their panel interview process, the importance of cultural fit, and why they prioritize entrepreneurs over traditional salespeople. Here's what you can expect to gain from this episode: •    A framework for attracting top talent through purpose-driven company culture •    Strategies for building transformational client relationships instead of transactional ones   •    Practical approaches to integrating AI while maintaining authentic human connections •    Methods for creating transparency that builds trust and improves performance •    Insights into managing and scaling global sales teams effectively Whether you're a sales leader looking to reduce turnover, a business owner wanting to build a more meaningful organization, or a sales professional seeking to create deeper client relationships, this conversation provides actionable strategies for long-term success.

(00:00) Three Wood Loft and Ball Placement This chapter explores the ongoing evolution and challenges of using a 3-wood in golf, especially for older players experiencing decreased clubhead and ball speed. We discuss how modern alternatives, such as modified clubs with more loft, offer easier handling and similar distances compared to traditional 3-woods. With pros moving away from the 3-wood, we consider the benefits of clubs like the 5-wood, which, with its increased loft, can be easier to launch and achieve comparable distances with less effort. The discussion highlights how many golfers find greater satisfaction and performance in their game by opting for these more forgiving clubs, potentially leading to fewer frustrations on the course. (13:29) Golf Equipment Adjustments for Speed This chapter takes us through the aftermath of a hurricane in Fort Myers Beach, illustrating the resilience of nature and the local community in rebuilding efforts. I reflect on the damage reminiscent of a war zone and compare it to past experiences with Hurricane Hugo in Charleston, South Carolina. The conversation shifts to discussing when golfers should consider equipment changes to compensate for a lack of speed. Emphasis is placed on first assessing whether players can improve their physical capabilities before investing in new equipment. I explore the importance of a qualified fitter in testing equipment to ensure it complements the player's abilities, highlighting the common mistake of choosing longer and lighter shafts without considering control and accuracy. I also share a lighthearted moment about golf buddies exchanging playful banter on the course, adding a humorous touch to the sport's social aspect. (19:21) Clubs and Balls This chapter examines the intricacies of golf club fitting and the perpetual advancements in club technology. We explore how individual factors, such as familiarity with the club's weight and shaft length, influence a golfer's ability to consistently hit the center of the clubface. The importance of personalized club fitting is emphasized over succumbing to marketing claims about the latest equipment. There's also a humorous take on the ubiquity of golf commercials featuring the same picturesque Arizona backdrop, questioning whether clubs truly improve with each new release or if it's simply marketing hype. The conversation highlights the ever-present push from manufacturers to sell the latest clubs, often with extravagant claims, while reminding listeners of the value of consulting with a fitter to find the best equipment for their game. (31:03) Player Length and Equipment in Golf This chapter examines the ongoing debate about the distance modern golf balls can achieve, particularly in comparison to past golfing eras. We discuss how in the days of Tiger Woods' dominance, there wasn't much discourse about restricting golf ball distances despite his impressive driving abilities. Highlighting the irony, we touch on how players from past generations, who were once lauded for their long drives, are now among those calling for restrictions. We also explore the excitement and spectacle of players driving the ball onto short par-four greens, emphasizing the entertainment value and media attention these feats bring, regardless of the actual scores achieved. Additionally, we touch on the advancements in golf equipment, noting that while many drivers perform similarly, the evolution of golf balls continues to make a significant impact on distance. (37:42) Increasing Swing Speed Through Training This chapter focuses on techniques and exercises to increase golf swing speed, emphasizing the importance of reducing tension and encouraging faster body movement. We explore the benefits of using training tools like speed sticks and the stack system to help your brain and body coordinate faster movements. By practicing with these tools, your natural swing speed can increase, resulting in greater distance on the golf course. The importance of proper sequencing and timing in the golf swing is highlighted, including the role of lateral push, rotary twist, and braking with the lead leg to enhance club speed. Additionally, we touch on the necessity of maintaining a firm yet supple grip to prevent slowing down the club. Overall, the chapter provides practical insights into developing a faster and more powerful golf swing. (43:39) Effortless Power and Golf Performance This chapter explores the intricate balance between timing and technique in achieving maximum power and efficiency in a golf swing. We discuss how the right timing can transform a golfer's swing from a powerless effort to effortless power, using the examples of renowned long-drive champions like Justin James and Jason Zubak. These athletes demonstrate that while tremendous effort is involved, understanding when and how to apply force is crucial for maximizing distance. We also highlight the importance of having equipment fitted and working with knowledgeable instructors to enhance one's golf game. Finally, we emphasize that even those with immense power, like long-drive competitors, possess the skill and precision needed to succeed on the course. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Reference to the fleeting nature of life, comparing it to a flower. Prayer for divine guidance and blessing. Request for the Holy Spirit's presence and direction in words and actions. The Universality of Trouble Life before salvation as a troubled time. Personal experience of being "doomed for a devil's hell" before salvation. Troubles persist even after salvation. Troubles are incomparable to the trouble of not knowing Jesus Christ. Salvation through Jesus Christ as the ultimate solution to life's troubles. The Cleansing Power of Jesus Christ The Unique Ability of Jesus to Cleanse Only Jesus can make a man's vessel fair. Salvation comes from Jesus Christ, not from any man. Rejection of the idea that signing a card can guarantee salvation. Emphasis on the necessity of the Holy Spirit's conviction and repentance. Importance of touching Jesus' blood for salvation. Personal Testimony of Salvation Personal experience of being saved at the altar. The preacher could not cleanse the heart, only Jesus could. God's love demonstrated through the sacrifice of Jesus. Jesus experienced human suffering to save humanity. God knows what individuals are going through and wants to help. Caution and Discernment in Seeking Spiritual Guidance The Importance of Sound Doctrine Doctors and scientists can cure diseases, but only Jesus can save from hell.

Only Jesus can cleanse a dirty heart. Jesus' willingness to be crucified demonstrates His love. His sacrifice allows people to be eternally with Him in heaven. The Importance of Repentance and Forgiveness Elder Roger still sins, but has a place to return to for forgiveness. The Holy Spirit convicts the heart when one sins. One can ask for forgiveness and receive it immediately. God is still in control, no matter how bad things get. Those saved by Jesus Christ have a better place waiting for them. The Promise of Heaven and the Importance of Salvation The Hope of Heaven Looking forward to going home to heaven. Anticipation of seeing castles, streets of gold, and a mansion. God built a mansion in heaven for Elder Roger. Jesus laid down His life and bled for humanity. He was beaten so that people could have a mansion in heaven. The Call to Salvation God knows each person's heart and what troubles them. There is no shame in talking to God. It is more shameful not to talk to God. One should not carry burdens alone. One can come to God's house and praise Him. Give Him honor for what He has done. If one needs His honors,

Romans 6:15-23 confronts us with a profound truth: we will serve someone or something, whether we acknowledge it or not. This passage challenges the dangerous notion that grace gives us license to continue in sin, asking the piercing question: are we to sin because we're under grace rather than law? The answer rings clear—absolutely not. We're presented with only two masters: sin leading to death, or obedience leading to righteousness. There's no third option, no middle ground where we can blend worldly living with Christian faith. The transformation that comes through Christ isn't an addition to our existing life—it's a complete metamorphosis. We see this illustrated through the story of Elisha, who burned his oxen and plows, eliminating any possibility of retreat to his former life. Similarly, Jesus' disciples left their nets, their boats, and even their father immediately when called. This radical commitment stands in stark contrast to the lukewarm Christianity described in Revelation 3, where the church of Laodicea was neither hot nor cold, prompting Christ to say He would spit them from His mouth. The parable of the sower reminds us that only one in four who hear the word will produce lasting fruit. The question we must wrestle with is this: which soil are we? Are we clinging to escape plans and old relationships that keep us tethered to our former slavery, or are we willing to take that first step of obedience, trusting God will reveal the next?### Sermon Notes**Scripture**: Romans 6:15-23**Introduction**: - Rick, a pastor at Hope Church, continues the study of Romans, focusing on Romans 6. - Reminder that they preach through books of the Bible, emphasizing the importance of scripture-based preaching.**Key Points**:1. **Understanding Sin and Grace**:  - The question Paul raises: Are we to sin because we are under grace, not the law?  - Emphasis on morality within the law and grace.2. **Analogy of Slavery**:  - Paul uses the analogy of being slaves to sin versus slaves to righteousness.  - Bob Dylan's illustration: "You gotta serve somebody."3. **Transformation through Salvation**:  - Christianity is not just an addition but a transformation of life.  - The old self versus the new self: Embrace becoming a slave to righteousness.4. **Challenges in Christian Walk**:  - Temptation to mix worldly views and new belief systems with Christianity.  - Importance of separating from past sinful lifestyles and friendships.5. **Practical Illustrations**:  - Rick's personal testimony about radical change after accepting Christ.  - Importance of cutting off past connections that hinder spiritual growth.6. **Reasons for Struggling with Sin**:  - Continually resurrecting old sinful behaviors.  - Lack of suffering or commitment in serving God wholeheartedly.  - Not eliminating the past life entirely.7. **Biblical References to Commitment**:  - Examples of Elisha burning his plow and the disciples leaving everything to follow Jesus.  - The rich young ruler's story: Heart's attachment to possessions.8. **Fruit of Righteousness**:  - Encouragement to analyze life for spiritual fruit.  - Belonging entirely to Christ results in sanctification and eternal life.**Practical Applications**:1. **Cut Ties with Sin**:   - Identify and remove old habits and relationships that hinder spiritual growth.2. **Embrace Transformation**:   - Acknowledge that faith in Christ leads to a completely changed life, not just an addition to current beliefs.3. **Serve with Zeal**:   - Dedicate the same energy formerly given to sin towards serving God.4. **Evaluate Your Life**:   - Regularly assess if your life reflects the fruit of righteousness or if it's still tied to the old self.5. **Take Steps of Faith**:   - Listen for God's direction and take incremental steps towards fulfilling His call.**Discussion Questions**:1. How does understanding that we are under grace, not the law, change your perspective on sin and righteousness?2. What are some steps you can take to ensure you're living as a "slave to righteousness" rather than a slave to sin?3. Are there aspects of your past life that you are still holding onto, and how can you fully commit them to God?4. How has your commitment to Christ transformed your everyday life and decisions?5. Discuss a time when taking a small step of faith led to a significant spiritual victory or growth in your life.

A strategist and mentor, he co-founded the Office Brokerage Group, launched the firm's Fast Track training program, and has closed 1,200-plus deals worth more than $810 million. Clients value his mix of precision, urgency, and clear foresight; colleagues value his commitment to developing future leaders. Having recently earned his broker's license, Matt now serves NAI Ohio Equities in an official Management-Level Broker capacity, bringing even greater authority to the guidance he provides.   Education: BA Communication - The Ohio State University Professional Affiliations: SIOR, CCIM   Matt continues to pair strategic vision with hands-on coaching, ensuring both clients and the next generation of brokers achieve their full potential.   Key Points: Career Background & Path into Real Estate While studying at The Ohio State University, he interned at Ohio Equities, helping modernize their marketing and tech systems. After graduation, he became Director of Information Technology for the firm. Over time, he was drawn into sales after assisting agents with listing presentations and realizing he enjoyed the client-facing, persuasive side of the business. Encouraged by the company's owner, Sandy Simpson, he got his real estate license and transitioned into brokerage.   View on Selling Matt prefers to think of sales as education, advising, and consulting rather than traditional selling. His philosophy: “Educate clients so they can make confident, informed decisions.” He defines selling as persuading someone of value, aligning with the dictionary meaning of “to sell.” He believes in consultative selling—building trust through information, not pressure.   Fast Track Program (Training for New Agents) Originally created in 2006, revived and redesigned in 2023 under his leadership. Matt discusses in depth the structure of the Fast Track Program he designed and uses to train new agents. The Goal: give three years of experience in one year to reduce new-agent failure and speed up success.   Hiring & Recruiting Philosophy Matt looks for candidates who are confident but not arrogant, emotionally intelligent and adaptable, self-motivated and resilient, and realistic about the long sales cycle in commercial real estate. The recruitment process he uses is multiple conversations (3–4 meetings), both formal and informal, emphasis on intuition and relationship-building, not just testing, considers diversity in career stages and backgrounds (new grads, mid-career switchers, experienced professionals), and avoids personality assessments; it relies on observation and cultural fit.   Leadership & Management Style Matt's biggest management challenge is balancing autonomy and oversight. He wants agents to feel empowered but not reckless. Some agents over-communicate; others under-communicate—he strives for a healthy middle ground. He focuses on mentorship, working directly on deals with new agents to model behaviors and decision-making. Matt encourages agents to become future leaders, not just team players.   Outcomes & Culture Strong retention and development culture—agents tend to stay long-term. Emphasis on learning, collaboration, and shared success. Fast Track alumni are performing well and contributing to the firm's growth. The company's local reputation attracts new candidates organically.   Guest Links: Website: https://www.ohioequities.com/brokers/mgregory.html LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mgregoryohioequities/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mjgreg Twitter: http://www.x.com/officegrp Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/officegrp     About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

1. Middle East Peace Agreement & U.S. Foreign Policy The discussion opens with praise for Donald Trump’s foreign policy—his “peace through strength” approach ended a two-year war, freed hostages, and prevented global instability. Trump is decisive and feared by America’s enemies (Iran, Hamas, China, Russia), contrasting with Biden, whom they describe as “weak and appeasing.” Historical examples (ISIS defeat, strikes on Iranian targets, anti-Houthi and anti-Venezuelan actions) are cited as evidence of Trump’s assertive leadership. 2. Government Shutdown The conversation blames Democrats—specifically Senator Chuck Schumer—for the “Schumer Shutdown.” The speakers argue Republicans are trying to reopen the government, while Democrats obstruct funding. They highlight political theater surrounding an upcoming rally (“No King’s Rally”) and accuse Democrats of prioritizing political optics over public service. There’s commentary on Congressional pay during shutdowns, with a contrast drawn between Cruz “refusing his paycheck” and Democrats “continuing to collect theirs.” 3. Charlie Kirk’s Death & Legacy This section memorializes Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, fictionalized here as assassinated and posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Trump. We explore Christian forgiveness, with Kirk’s widow, Erica, forgiving Kirk's killer during the televised service. The narrative blends religious devotion, martyrdom, and political faith, presenting Kirk as a “martyr for truth and freedom,” comparable to figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Lincoln, and Saint Peter. Trump’s and Erica’s differing views on “loving one’s enemies” are discussed as a theological and moral moment. 4. Interview with Eric Trump The final part is a conversation with Eric Trump, discussing: Legal battles faced by the Trump family (naming prosecutors like Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, and Jack Smith). Financial strain (“$400 million defending ourselves against nonsense”). Perceived bias and corruption in the justice system. We then shift to personal reflections on Donald Trump as a father: Emphasis on discipline, hard work, no substance use, and humility despite wealth. Advice for parents: “Keep them poor, make them work early.” The conversation ends on a note of familial pride and loyalty. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Many of us hoard because we believe we're making ourselves ready for anything life throws at us, but the reality is that no amount of “just in case” clutter can truly prepare us for every scenario. In this episode, I break down the myth of preparedness, explore how hoarding can actually make us less equipped for real emergencies, and talk about why resourcefulness matters much more than having piles of stuff. The Myth of Being Prepared for Every Eventuality Exploration of the comforting idea behind keeping possessions to be “ready” for anything. Recognition that life is unpredictable and impossible to fully prepare for. Infinite Possibilities vs. Realities Discussion of how each item is kept for imagined infinite scenarios. The logical impossibility of keeping items for every scenario (need for infinite space and money). Emotional and anxiety-driven decision-making despite logical understanding. Specificity of Items and Mismatched Preparation Example of items with specific uses that don't match actual needs when situations arise. The paradox of saving more items not solving the mismatch issue. Emphasis that saving more increases clutter but doesn't increase preparedness. Sensible Preparation vs. Over-Preparation Differentiation between healthy, reasonable preparation (e.g., first aid kit) and hoarding excess. The importance of context when deciding what to keep. The Role of Resourcefulness Real-life anecdotes (tampon as nosebleed fix, ballpoint pen tracheotomy) illustrating resourcefulness over mere possession. Recognition of creativity and adaptability as coping strategies. Importance of improvisation and problem-solving in handling emergencies. Asking for Help and Community Support Discussion of the difficulty and value in seeking help from others. Mention of the podcast's accountability sessions as a supportive community resource. Irony of Over-Preparedness: How Hoarding Reduces Actual Preparedness Analysis of how clutter inhibits effective response to emergencies (e.g., inability to locate items, blocked exits). Emotional and mental burden caused by excessive possessions. Emotional Drivers of Hoarding and Over-Preparedness Exploration of the underlying anxieties and emotional needs that drive hoarding. Misconception that acquiring more will eventually soothe anxiety. Discussion about the lack of true satisfaction or security from excessive possessions. The Illusion of Vindication Occasional moments when a hoarded item becomes useful, creating a sense of justification. Cost-benefit analysis: space, annoyance, energy, and opportunity cost versus occasional convenience. Distinguishing Between Convenience and Necessity Recognition that the vast majority of saved items are never useful. Importance of resourcefulness and adaptability over keeping every possible item. Everyday Adaptation and Coping Examples of daily improvisation and making do (e.g., using coins as screwdrivers, managing without umbrellas). Emphasis on resilience and ability to cope with small inconveniences. The Trap of Occasional Justification Analogy to gambling: occasional “wins” reinforce maladaptive habits. Warning against letting rare vindications justify continued hoarding. Embracing “Good Enough” and Trusting Future Capabilities Acceptance that total preparedness is impossible. Focus on nourishment, present needs, and trusting future resilience and creativity. The freeing power of letting go of the need for complete preparedness. True security and preparedness come from adaptability and trust, not material accumulation.
