In this episode, I talk about what it takes to be excellent.

This weekend, Dr. Linda Travelute reminded us of Daniel—a man who stood out, not because of position or power, but because he had an excellent spirit. He stayed faithful. He prayed as he always had. He purposed in his heart to honor God—whether anyone saw him or not. Excellence lifts you above the crowd. It's not about perfection—it's about progression. It's not about feelings—it's about a decision that starts in your spirit. When we live this way, it brings joy, adds value to others, and becomes an act of worship. Where can you “move the needle” this week? Do less, but do it with excellence—and watch how it shines the light of Jesus to the world around you. If you missed it, take a moment to hear the full message and let it stir a fresh hunger for growth in you. #rethinklifechurch #TheWinningFamily #GR8 #Bible #godsword #godisgood #lakenona #stcloud #orlando #2025sermon #onlinechurch #rodneygage #michellegage #Jesus #Church #Hope #HolySpirit #learnhow #pastor #sermon #inspiringmessages #wisdom Thank you RTL Fam for your generosity!

Jesus's words in the fifteenth chapter of the Gospel of John are so much more powerful when you're the owner of a vineyard; when you witness the grapes growing on the vines and tend to its spiraling branches. For the Savaryn family of Waconia, Minnesota, their vineyard, Sovereign Estate, is an everyday living out of, "I am the vine and you are the branches".  While California produces over 80 percent of the wine output in America, the 30-acre vineyard that sits on the banks of Lake Waconia in the south central part of the North Star state, is a testament to the legacy of the Savaryn clan's core values: Faith, Family, Beauty and Excellence. It's also a dynamic part of what has become a $325 billion dollar industry in the United States: Wine and the making of it. Some of Sovereign's wines have even won international awards and competitions. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Terri Savaryn, the co-founder and owner along with her husband Paul, talks about the faith that built the vineyard; how Paul's father, a doctor and immigrant from Ukraine, started a hospital and bought up farm property on the shores of one of Minnesota's 10,000 lakes. And how it turned out that the elevation was perfect for vine growing. But most of all, how Sovereign is not only how their name is pronounced, but what God's presence means in their lives: He is Sovereign. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alison Dixon, the Chief Customer Experience Officer at Portnox, a leader in zero-trust network access control. Alison's unique insights stem from her diverse background, which encompasses various roles in HR, sales enablement, and IT. As we dove into the conversation, Alison shared her journey of building a customer experience organization from the ground up at Portnox, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing customer relationships in a rapidly growing tech environment. Alison recounted her initial days at Portnox, which began as a small startup of about 20 employees. Soon after her arrival, she recognized the pressing need for deeper insights into customer accounts and interactions as the company scaled. Her prior experience as a fundraiser and in HR equipped her with a holistic approach to understanding customer psychology and needs. Through meticulous customer journey mapping, she established strategies that centred on enhancing the overall experience, detailing how each stage of customer interaction contributes to long-term loyalty and satisfaction. We delved into the often transactional mindset prevalent in many organizations, particularly those that prioritize immediate revenue over long-term relationships. Alison argued firmly for a shift towards valuing customer experiences, stating that a lack of focus on building connections could lead to lost opportunities, even for small clients who may evolve into significant partners over time. Her philosophy is clear: if companies establish authentic human connections with their customers, they stand to gain far more than transactional profits. Throughout our discussion, we touched on the high-stakes nature of cybersecurity and how this uniquely shapes customer experience. Alison highlighted the critical importance of maintaining accessibility and support for clients, given the potential risks associated with cybersecurity breaches. She emphasized that customers need confidence in their service providers and need to establish trust through transparent communication, even when addressing negative scenarios. As our conversation progressed, we explored the role of customer experience in product development and overall business strategy. Alison passionately conveyed that understanding customer feedback not only helps retain clients but also informs the direction of product innovation. This perspective has led her team to integrate CX insights into their roadmap, aligning organizational goals with customer expectations. Towards the latter part of the episode, we took a thought-provoking turn into the realm of artificial intelligence in customer experience. Alison expressed cautious optimism about AI's potential but was wary of its increasing deployment without a foundational human element. She underscored the value of genuine interactions and deep understanding through personal connections — a sentiment she has repeatedly validated through firsthand experiences with Portnox customers. In closing, Alison shared her belief that creating exceptional customer experiences is not the sole responsibility of one department but rather a collective effort throughout the entire organization. By fostering a culture that prioritizes customer care and connection, even the smallest companies can achieve remarkable growth. Overall, this episode offered valuable insights into the evolving landscape of customer experience within the cybersecurity industry, highlighting strategies that can lead to sustained success.   Alison's Contact Information: Website: https://www.portnox.com LinkedIn: @alison-dixon-msod   Tacey's Contact Information: Website: taceyatkinson.com All Socials: @TaceyAtkinson   Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to having more valuable conversations together in the future.

"Women are 80% of the healthcare workforce in the US, up to 70% globally. So I always say if women aren't healthy, the entire world is at risk of not being healthy." Mary Stutts has spent decades dismantling barriers for women in healthcare—first as a senior executive at Stanford Healthcare and multiple biopharma companies, now as CEO of the Healthcare Businesswomen's Association (HBA). But what she's seeing today has her more concerned than ever: for the first time in 20 years, the number of women in C-suite roles is declining. "The challenge isn't just getting women into leadership," Mary explains. "It's helping them stay in leadership and thrive there." The culprit? A perfect storm of broken systems: the "broken rung" that blocks women's first promotion to manager, the "concrete ceiling" at director level, and a generation gap that's creating chaos in the workplace. Mary reveals a startling insight about today's young professionals: "They're digitally native but corporately naive. We give them managerial responsibility for a head count, but we haven't trained them how to manage. They take a punitive approach—'You don't do it the way I do it, so you're doing it wrong.' Then everyone gets frustrated and leaves." The stakes couldn't be higher. With a $1 trillion economic gap between women's and men's health, and young women increasingly choosing social media influencer careers over healthcare professions, the industry faces a crisis that threatens everyone's wellbeing. In this essential episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Mary also shares: Why less than 20% of professionals have a development plan—and how this simple tool can transform your career trajectory The 15-minute mentoring rule that changed everything for busy executives Why there's no such thing as a "perfect mentor" and what you need instead The five critical experiences women aren't getting access to that block their path to leadership How to bridge the five (soon to be six) generations currently in the workforce Why "meritocracy is a three-way street"—and what that means for companies trying to retain talent Mary also reveals the innovative work of her nonprofit, The Center for Excellence in Life (T-CEL), which created virtual internships during COVID for students who never thought they'd attend college—many of whom are graduating now. "Keep focusing on describing the very needed work we are doing," Mary urges. "We still need leadership acceleration. We still need talent development. We still need workforces that are representative of the patients and communities we serve. At the end of the day, people most trust people who look like them. That's not bias—that's human nature." From writing "The Missing Mentor: Women Advising Women on Power, Progress and Priorities" to leading HBA's mission to achieve gender equity in healthcare leadership, Mary Stutts is the powerhouse executive rewriting the rules for women's advancement. Her message is clear: Don't lose focus. The work is more critical than ever. "Your development plan is yours alone," Mary insists. "If you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you've arrived?"

 Perfectionism is a big problem in the cleaning industry. It took me over 15 minutes to say it in the podcast. It's really not that complex. Perfection is working hard to make YOU as happy as possible and you may never get there. Excellence is working hard to make THE CUSTOMER as happy as possible and you absolutely can get there.How do you know if you've made them as happy as possible? You ask them how you've done. I consult with cleaning company owners all over the country and so many struggle with perfectionism. It cost them time, which equals money and profit. I believe that Perfectionism and Excellence are on opposite sides of the same spectrum. You've got to work to the best that you can. but doing it with excellence is different than doing it with perfection. Your customer will feel the difference and so will your bank account!

From the White House to overseas to a consulting firm in Boston, Dan's extensive professional background working in government, economic development, and nonprofit realms, all set the stage for the launch of Flourish Fund.   Flourish Fund is a giving fund that channels pooled capital from givers alongside extensive problem area research to bring about large, system level change. Flourish Fund's unique effectiveness is found in their focus on collaborative giving and cooperation between organizations, both faith-based and secular, who offer various approaches toward the same goal. Their first fund called Flourish Children and Families is focused on reimagining the foster care system, and they've already made impressive progress.   Major Topics Include: Dan's faith and career journey The story of Flourish Fund Traditional philanthropy vs Christian philanthropy  The need for growth in impact assessment in Christian giving spaces What Flourish Fund is about and how it works Tackling big social problems that matter to the heart of God Reimagining foster care in the US with Flourish Fund Building strategy and success evaluation into the fund structure The portfolio approach to collaborative giving Doing collaborative giving well Three strategic opportunities to move the needle in foster care Navigating collaboration between secular and faith-based organizations Knowing where to channel resources  Deciding where to focus next What to look for in a giving fund Tips or givers to engage with the problems that are on God's heart QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I became convinced that there was room in the marketplace for a new kind of Kingdom problem-solving institution that was trying to connect capital differently with social innovators who were trying to do good work in the name of Jesus.” “What might it actually take to move the needle?” “No individual organization, even if they are crushing it, is capable of solving a systemic problem on their own.” “How might we think differently about what is possible for what we can do together?”  “Collaborative giving is the next frontier of effective stewardship”. “We want to enable people to have proximity to the problem rather than putting distance between the giver and the receiver.” “We want to enable and strengthen local ecosystems of care that are anchored by the Church, working in partnership with community organizations, government, and volunteers doing different sets of things to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational needs of vulnerable kids and families.” “When Christians have been at their best through the ages, we've tended to build big tents and work with odd bedfellows. We have unique things that we can bring to bear, but we can't to it alone so we have to figure out how to work with a bunch of different people, and if we can do that well, it will point people back to Jesus.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Flourish Fund Flourish Children and Families Flourish Children and Families Blueprint Al Mueller, Founder and President of Excellence in Giving (see our past interview here) Simple Charity (see our interview with CEO Brian Grasso) EIG Insights (see our interview with cofounder Kate Williams-Whitley) Praxis IllumiNations Bible Translation Alliance (see our interview with Todd Peterson or John Chesnut) Project Belong The Contingent Solving the World's Greatest Problems The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group   WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

The manager of the Clare minor ladies footballers has hailed his side's defensive reilience that saw them crowned All Ireland Champions yesterday. A 1-8 to 0-7 victory over Sligo in the Connaught GAA Centre of Excellence in Bekan Co.Mayo saw Clare claim their third All Ireland title at the grade. Of the Sligo total, just three points were conceded from play. Banner boss Barry Donnelly says it's a testament to the player's hard work and dedication.

Teachhoops.com⁠ Winning in basketball often comes down to mastering the end of game management. This critical phase requires a blend of strategic thinking, calm execution, and unwavering focus from both coaches and players. Every possession in the final minutes (or even seconds) carries immense weight, and a single mistake can easily turn a victory into a defeat. Effective end-game management isn't just about drawing up a final play; it encompasses everything from timeout usage and foul strategy to shot selection and defensive assignments, all under immense pressure. For coaches, end-of-game management means meticulously planning for various scenarios. This includes knowing when to call a timeout to advance the ball, stop the clock, or draw up a specific play. It also involves understanding the foul situation: who has fouls to give, when to intentionally foul, and how to avoid unnecessary fouls. On the player side, it's about disciplined execution: taking smart shots, securing rebounds, valuing every possession, and playing fundamentally sound defense without gambling. Communication, especially under duress, becomes paramount, ensuring everyone is on the same page and understands their role in those high-stakes moments.

Episode 266 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast is a solocast where I dive into the current political landscape of our country. As many of you know, I lean conservative on most social issues—but like a lot of Americans right now, I'm incredibly disappointed in the current administration. What we're witnessing feels more like political theater than leadership. It's become clear that very few—if any—of the people in D.C. truly have our best interests at heart. So the real question is: What are we going to do about it? Let's unpack that. Please enjoy Episode 266 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast.

Ever wondered how customer stories come to life in global tech companies? Welcome to a fascinating conversation with Alyssa Maschi, Head of the Customer Reference Center of Excellence at Lenovo.Alyssa's career journey defies traditional expectations. Starting in nonprofit work, she made a bold transition into tech through channel marketing before finding her way to customer advocacy. Her candid admission that she "had to Google what customer reference marketing was" when applying for her current role reveals an important truth: career paths rarely follow a straight line. What carried her through these transitions? The soft skills she cultivated along the way, communication, relationship-building, and adaptability.Building Lenovo's customer reference program from scratch presented enormous challenges. Alyssa shares how she established the operational foundation, engaged with sellers, recruited customers, and eventually expanded from a single business unit to a company-wide center of excellence. Her role evolved from hands-on implementation to strategic leadership, focusing on program expansion and securing executive support. This evolution offers valuable lessons for anyone tasked with building something new within a large organization.The conversation takes an honest turn when discussing corporate politics and finding advocates. Alyssa credits her success in scaling the program to having a VP who believed in her work and provided the platform to pitch directly to the CMO. For women navigating large tech organizations, this highlights the critical importance of finding champions who can elevate your work to higher levels. When leadership guidance is lacking, Alyssa recommends returning to strategic foundations and expanding your internal network, practical advice for maintaining momentum during uncertain times.Looking to position yourself for promotion? Alyssa suggests a methodical approach: understand the specific requirements for the next level position and document how you're already fulfilling those responsibilities. This evidence-based approach creates a compelling case that's difficult for management to dispute.Join us for this illuminating conversation about career transitions, building global programs, and what it truly means to be bolder, embracing curiosity and following opportunities that spark your interest, even when they aren't obvious next steps.Support the show When you subscribe to the podcast, you are supporting our work's mission, allowing us to continue highlighting successful women in a variety of careers to inspire others helping pay our wonderful editor, Chris, and helping me in paying our hosting expenses.

Come along with us on a ride in this episode as we experience the world of Cup of Excellence coffee auctions for the first time. We were chasing a special lot from our Best Friends Club producer, Nelín Guzman, as his coffee took 5th place in his category for all of Honduras. We talk through how these auctions work, why countries like Honduras now use new categories, and how even with categories, varieties like Parainema still command a high price. We also dig into what it means to bring coffees of this caliber back to our guests — using them in competitions and adding them to our menu in a limited quantity. For us, it wasn't about winning the auction – there was a small chance of that happening anyway – but more so about what doors being a part of the COE opens for us in the future. And hey, you need to start somewhere. It was a wild time of an early morning, side bets, and high energy. Buckle up.

Dr. Jacquelyn Gill is an Assistant Professor of Paleoecology and Plant Ecology at the University of Maine. Jacquelyn is a paleoecologist. She studies ecology and climate change over the past 20,000 years since the end of the ice age. This involves taking a forensics-like approach to analyzing the sediments and fossil records in lakes and bogs that give clues about past climates and landscapes. When she's not thinking about science, Jacquelyn likes to be outdoors, exploring the forest and coastline in Maine. Her indoor hobbies include a weekly trivia night, knitting, and reading. She received her Masters degree and PhD in Geography from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Afterward she served as a the Voss Postdoctoral Fellow at Brown University before joining the faculty at the University of Maine. She was the recipient of the E. Lucy Braun Award for Excellence in Ecology, the Student Section Award for Excellent Women in Ecology, and the Cooper Award all from the Ecological Society of America. She also received the Trewarth Award for Best Student Paper, the Graduate Peer Mentor Award, and the Whitbeck Dissertator Fellowship from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Jacquelyn is with us today to tell us all about her journey through life and science.

In today's episode, I sit down with internationally recognized speaker and relationship coach Dr. Paul Kellogg to talk about the real meaning of excellence and how it ties into self-worth, growth, and service. We unpack the shift from scarcity to abundance, from trading to giving, and the role faith played in rebuilding my life after losing everything. Paul and I get honest about the fears that stop people from leveling up, especially the fear of success. We explore how reframing the past can reshape our self-image and why learning to love what others resist is key to rising in excellence—personally, spiritually, and professionally.
