Over the last 14 years, Ray Tyler of Rose Creek Farms has been passionate about developing growing systems to successfully grow and sell certified organic produce fifty-two weeks a year in western Tennessee. Along with his wife Ashley and six homeschooled children, he is committed to creating a family-focused farm that allows for a sustainable and healthy work-life balance. Using a meticulous system of eighteen caterpillar tunnels on one acre, Ray is able to supply three farmers markets and a farm stand. His market displays are called "the salad bar" and they are always stacked high with bunches of carrots, radish, celery, lettuce heads, and a varied assortment of greens. The early years, however, were a challenge for Ray, and we speak about how he and his family persevered with a lot of trial and error to become the successful farm and business they have today. Ray is an inspiring example of a passionate farmer who is committed to the health and well-being of his family, his business, the community, and the land. Folks who make the show possible...

For a lot of women, fashion is fun. It's an opportunity to showcase who you are through what you wear. For other women, it can fall to the bottom of the priority pile for financial reasons or simply because there can be an overwhelming pressure that the women that wears the garment, has to fit within the marketed idea that fashion is for the beautiful, and a lot of the time, for the youthful.  So we speak to Anthea O'Connor who has spent her career weaving fashion in many forms in with her family life. A committed 10 years at Vogue Australia, to TV Presenter for fashion shows such as “What Not to Wear” on 7 Network and ‘The Circle” on Network Ten, and now an established  Fashion Stylist. We talk about the evolution of fashion within her life as she evolves as a woman, and how the juggle of committing to a full-time career in fashion changed with the juggle of raising a family. How does a woman keep connected to who they are in each era of their lives, by what they wear? And how does a woman who continues to evolve, stay confident with their fashion, in a world where youth and beauty remains the aspiration?  Rebecca Bull – Creator / Executive Producer / Co-Host Zoe Weir – Co-Creator / Co – Host Sophie Jackson – Producer  Social Media – Naughty Nancy Social Media Agency Website / Brand Design – Foster Creative Video Editor – Luke Morgan  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever felt like you want to drink and not want to drink at the same time? Have you ever felt like wine is getting in the way of meaningful connections with the Lord, your hub, kids and others? And at the same time you feel like wine is the thing that's connecting you to your hub, and girlfriends so you can't imagine actually doing anything about the wine situation? These conflicting thoughts can be crazy-making for sure, but they're not crazy! You are not crazy. And you are not alone. This thinking kept us both stuck in the drinking cycle too. Until we discovered the real reason we had these conflicting thoughts; when we were drinking wine, what we said we valued wasn't actually aligned with how we were showing up in our lives. This realization was uncomfortable, yes, and it was the necessary first step to hope and change. What are our core values? Are they aligned with our actions? Why is that important? How do we even know what our core values are? And what do we do when we notice that our actions and behaviors are no longer aligned with them? For a thought-provoking conversation around these questions and so much more, we invited everybody's favorite pastor, David, back to the studio to share his wisdom and guide us around the topic of core values and the importance of them when applied to different areas of our lives. Pastor David shares his five core values related to faith, family, fitness, finances, and friendship. He elaborates on what these values mean to him and how he uses them as a guiding framework for making decisions and prioritizing different aspects of his life. He also talked about the significance of surrounding ourselves with friends and relationships that support personal growth and align with our core values. This thoughtful and engaging conversation about core values, personal growth, and the importance of aligning our lives with our values, is a must-listen for anyone who has felt the rub and internal conflict of wanting to drink and not wanting to drink all at the same time. With David's wisdom and our practical tips for change it is our hope that you will leave this episode feeling a renewed excitement for taking the time to slow down, look up and bring attention and intention to all that you do.

Time freedom: The unsung hero of digital course success I've always been upfront about my love for making money -- and it's no secret that helping you make more money is a big goal of mine.  But what I dig into in this episode is something even more profound – the incredible time freedom that comes with having a digital course. Yes, the financial aspect is essential, but today, having a satisfying and rewarding career in today's world is all about the kind of freedom that goes beyond money.  I'm talking about the freedom to explore your creativity, the freedom to work from anywhere, and, most precious of all, the freedom of time. In this episode, I take you on a journey through the power of time freedom. It's a concept that has changed my life and the lives of countless students.  Picture this – the ability to spend your time in the most meaningful ways possible, with your loved ones and family.  This episode is about how time freedom has been a game-changer for me, and how it's transformed my ability to be present during the most trying times.  I'm even going to share some stories of my own students who now have time freedom in their lives, thanks to their digital course businesses. What would having time freedom mean to you? Whether you're an established business owner or just dreaming of entrepreneurship, it's something to think about as you're tuning into this episode.  Enjoy! Here's a glance at this episode... [03:45] Digital courses can give you financial freedom, creative freedom, location freedom, and time freedom. [04:11] Having time freedom has allowed me and my students to spend time where it matters most.  [06:26] My courses sell themselves every single day, so I can step away and not worry about making money. [08:24] Your first launch can be stressful, but as the years go by it gets easier and it's not as chaotic because you have a blueprint. [09:24] Having a business where I can completely step away if needed is something that I really appreciate. [12:56] I live launch once a year, and the money from this launch sustains me for the rest of the year. [14:14] There's no other job in the world that I know of where you get these amazing rewards for your hard work. Visit the show notes here!

Can you believe we are already halfway through this summer? I absolutely LOVE the summer vibe. Last summer we spent about six weeks in North Carolina at the beach and I truly just got to disconnect and make passive income through my coaching business. I started building an evergreen funnel prior to that which allowed me to pretty much show up for my online community.  Throughout last summer, I literally only worked 5-10 hours a week. This summer I am probably working closer to 10-15 hours because I am working on some projects, but it's honestly glorious because I am still enjoying the summer. Today I am going to break down how I am able to do this in my Christian online coaching business and what my days and weeks look like.  RECURRING REVENUE I have a structure where I take a lot of payment plans. My offers are structured so I can really have consistent monthly income throughout the year. I love this because it allows me to take off and project and plan what I expect to come in. It's never just like a feast and famine because I do indeed have recurring revenue that is coming in all the time. I always have to think about what's in the pipeline, but because I've thoughtfully structured my offers, I can take a step back from my business in the summer. SOLID FUNNELS  My marketing is on auto-pilot. I feel like I have a really comfortable cadence with the podcast and how I create content. Read More...

Where do you start when building an investment plan? What are the first steps and what's most important? Should we maximize returns and let our investments run our lives or should we let our needs, wants, and wishes drive how we invest? Where do taxes fit in?You have only one net worth and one effective tax rate. Thinking about your investments separate from taxes is never optimal. You will end up paying higher taxes than is otherwise necessary. When you are wealthy and you ignore the tax implications of investments, you leave money on the table that could have been used for greater impact. It's that simple and it's still missed by many in the ultra-high net worth space.Aligning your financial resources to the things most important to you is vital before even thinking about what type of investments to make. Matching your investments with desired outcomes brings a better and more customized experience to the individual.Have questions for an upcoming episode?

Scott Peppet serves as the President of Chai Trust Company LLC, the private trust company that serves as the family office for Sam Zell (https://www.egizell.com/people/sam-zell/) and his family. Equity Group Investments (https://www.egizell.com/), a division of Chai trust, provides investment management services on its behalf. From 2000 to 2018, Scott was a professor of Law at the University of Chicago where he focused on Bargaining, Dispute Resolution, Translational Law, and the complexities of multigenerational family enterprises. Scott speaks regularly on Family Offices, Private Trust companies as well as Intergenerational Leadership while also maintaining an active website (https://scottpeppet.com/). Scott is a G2 family member. He is Sam Zell's son-in-law, having married Sam's eldest daughter. Standout Quotes: * "Business works on short wavelengths and family works on very long wavelengths" - [Peter Evans, Scott] * "What does it mean to try and help family members really develop and really take ownership, so they can figure out how to deploy what they have?" - [Scott] * "There are many different kinds of wealth… you probably aren't put on the earth to grow the financial capital, there's lots of professionals who can help you do that" - [Scott] * "Too often, the implicit message sent to family members is 'this system is really here to steward the money" - [Scott] * “Families rarely fail for taking too much risk, they fail for taking too little risk” - [Scott] * "My goal is to create a family-focused office, not a family office, and a trusted company, not a Trust company" - [Scott] * "If you want to succeed you have to have a family that understands what you're doing" - [Scott] Key Takeaways: * Scott is the President of Chai Trust Company, LLC, the private trust company that serves as the family office for Sam Zell and his family. Equity Group Investments, a division of Chai trust, provides investment management services on its behalf. From 2000 to 2018, Scott was a professor of Law at the University of Chicago where he focused on Bargaining, Dispute Resolution, Translational Law, and the complexities of multigenerational family enterprises. He speaks on Family Offices, Private Trust companies as well as Intergenerational Leadership while also maintaining his active website. Scott is a G2 family member, as he is Sam Zell's son-in-law. * Scott got married to Sam's older daughter 20 years ago while he was already teaching as a Law professor. Since then he got increasingly curious about family enterprises till he fully transitioned into working in the family enterprise. After a few months of knowing each other, they started dating but Scott had no idea about her family wealth till she opened up about it. * About Sam Zell: Sam is a serial entrepreneur, who first built a business in Real Estate, following which he turned to distressed Corporate Investing in the 80s, and then in the 90s, he created some of the largest REITs in the US today. He has continued to work on REITs and corporate investing since then. He has done several businesses over the years. Sam is also known for his straight talk, always making his stand clear in any discussion. He is also very astute and broad in his thinking. * As a Law professor, Scott worked on conflict intervention with corporations all over the world. When he started having kids, he got curious about how the family wealth could be managed productively for the family, especially for the kids. Sam encouraged him to work on it. Some authors that stood out in Scott's study were Jay Hughes and John Davis. * Scott describes the family structure; at the time Scott joined the family, Sam was 59 years, his 3 children were in their 30s, and as of now, there are 9 grandchildren. There was a form of governance structure, a board with his 3 children which wasn't functional as Sam made most decisions. However, now there has been a need to rebuild the structure as the company has evolved and this has been a huge part of Scott's focus since he moved full-time into the family enterprise. He has had to put in a lot of work to fully understand how the family enterprise functions; to make things change in a family system that often moves very slowly, you have to know where you're going. It involves a combination of urgency and patience, while thinking long-term, steps need to be taken early and consistently. Most of the family members are not employees, some of them are on the board. There is one board with both independent and family directors. * The business continues to be eclectic, investing across all kinds of sectors, especially with the benefit of permanent long-term capital. At the same time, complex actions and decisions can be taken quickly. Also, family learning and development are being built as the kids grow to become adults. * In the inflationary period currently, the business finds smaller companies that need capital and expertise to grow to the next level; companies that would rather grow their equity than sell to a PE company. These companies are great partners for the business since their interests are already aligned to grow the equity. * While most families would rather have more joy over more money, the reality is that many family members Scott has met around the world don't have that much joy or self-possessed ability to do things in the world. They often feel enmeshed in a family structure they have little control over. This is not good for the family or the external world that could be benefitting from the good such families could accomplish. * Laying the foundation for the next generation practically, Scott uses some rules. The first is based on the 5 Capitals; Not everyone is supposed to grow financial capital but they can add to the overall well-being of the family by building on the other forms of capital. Unfortunately, the experience in most families is that stewarding the money is the main goal, which is an implicit frame that must be dissolved. The second one is that each family member should participate meaningfully in every learning experience. Doing this means creating activities or agendas that are not solely about financial capital or the enterprise, although as the kids get older they get interested in the business itself. * To assess how well you're building human capital, score how often you were talking about money over the last few years in your family meeting. Most times it forms a huge percentage of those meetings, but in a setting where money isn't the focus, there is a push to find other topics that can help people open up. Scott's family has started experimenting with these kinds of meetings interspersed with other activities. * These kinds of meetings expose several overlapping purposes, help family members connect, offer a chance for content transfer, and contribute to self-development and self-growth. Different topics are often discussed and it becomes obvious how they are related. Listeners are encouraged to check Scott's curriculum diagram on his website. * There is often a dichotomy between responsible stewards and lazy inheritors, however, managing inherited wealth can be complicated. The general goal is to cultivate engaged owners and integrate financial capital into their lives productively, but there is no concrete formula on how to do it. * Most family offices should just be Money offices because all their time is focused on financial capital and legal risk such that the family itself is secondary. On the other hand, a family-focused office is there to grow the family's human capital as much as the financial capital. * Trust companies around the world have become ubiquitous in wealthy families although they often don't have much life in them. However, a trusted company is a part of the family ecosystem which goes beyond managing money to a level of trust-building with the family. That forms the basis of how Scott decides on whether or not progress is being made; 'what is the level of trust in the system?'. Not to downplay the role of financial investment, but there has to be synergy within the system. * Over the long term, families rarely fail for taking too much risk, they fail for taking too little risk. They focus so much on preservation because they are afraid of taking risks, and they wither in the end. Sam Zell still takes as much risk as he used to, not as a gamble but with a critical assessment of each situation. It is important to preserve the investment company with its risk-taking culture, and at the same time grow a family that can continue such activity over time. * The family enterprise avoids governing by committee, especially on the investment side, so as to move quickly. Having family members behind an entity is not a bad idea but there's no point in having many family members making every investment decision. In Scott's family enterprise, this bureaucracy is avoided by ensuring decisions are narrowed down to the exact professionals. Other bigger family questions can be discussed by the family as a whole. Mike's family employs Adhocracy which encourages a culture to challenge the slow slide into bureaucracy. * The team behind the family enterprises consists of about 85 people and functions as one entity that is the trust company, the family office, and the investment management company. There are investment professionals, lawyers, a family office and operations group, and accountants. All of these are interdependent. The company is mostly focused in the US but there are also real estate investments in other countries. * As an outsider joining the family, it is easy to simply be a critic which will result in pushback from the family. From the onset, Scott acted from a place of love for the family and was concerned with how to continue to build productivity within the family. He intentionally took time to study the family business all the while continuing his profession as a Law professor. He advises inlaws to keep their jobs for as long as possible till they are sure they can add value to the family enterprise. He also understands that being an inlaw comes with restrictions from certain roles, but rather than get overly perturbed about it, he focuses on the ways to be helpful in the family. * Scott has a background in communication, mediation, and negotiation which has been pivotal in building consensus in the family business. Ultimately, there is no playbook to navigate the complexities in a family enterprise. * A typical day in Scott's life involves some time spent on investments, working with boards or committees, family learning and development, as well as time spent on management. He has come to understand that his job is to get a grasp of the system as a whole; Sam explained to him that it will change from obligation to opportunity. * There are a few family heirlooms and the family has also documented some of its history like the story of Sam's family leaving Poland for the US. They do this mostly by putting together short films. It also serves as a way to communicate family values; Sam has always used art to communicate. * Scott's letter to his kids: We have the capacity as humans to grow into something greater, more awake, and more alive than we are now, into a different kind of existence. This is the uniqueness of being human; the constant evolution makes life wonderful. Episode Timeline: [00:50] Meet today's guest, Scott Peppet. [02:00] Scott's relationship with Sam Zell.

In life, we focus on the wrong things sometimes.  We chase money, goals, power, control, and the ever-elusive pursuit of what's waiting at the top of the mountain only to discover, we could have everything and more if we would simply just let go. It's not a bad thing to want more, but our focus and intentions behind what we want should not be placed in things, but people.  Sam Kafuman is CEO of On The Level Construction, Entrepreneurial Coach, and host of the “Never Stop Building” Podcast.  He is a family-first man, married to his wife of 5 years and has 2 children ages 12 and 9.  Today's episode is bringing you a conversation you won't hear that's had between 2 men often.  The topic is mainly focused on family.  Sam brings a genuine flow to today's show as he talks about taking his family for granted. Focusing on money. Chasing the dream. Being okay with being comfortable, and realizing how he was missing the mark by ignoring the one thing that was the purpose for chasing everything.  Sam shares how making one simple shift in his focus allowed everything else to fall in place in his life simply by focusing on his family.  Tom and Sam make the link between business and the similarities of having a family.  They discuss the main mission of a CEO and why it's important to implement everything first and clean up later. Tom shares one unique approach he took to put himself center stage in front of 4,000 people at an industry conference for 3 hours.  This is one transformative episode you don't want to miss. Pop the corn and pull up a seat.  What You'll Learn:    Why it's important to have core values in a family and company  The one shift Sam made to switch his focus from business to family and why he did it How Sam's company is able to have an “unlimited PTO policy.” What you have to do even if your business isn't there Why doing everything now is better than waiting until it's perfect How Sam became more intentional with his family schedule Tom breaks down and discusses how the GCODE keeps balance in his life Why Sam's CPA told him he was going to “consult his way out of business” and Sam's reaction to this How gratitude and giving back has made Sam a completely different person One strategy your competitors will never implement  Why developing your team to a higher level will increase the effectiveness and efficiency of your company  The perfect day exercise and the bonus exercise everyone should be doing The power of repetition covering everything from morning routines to the moment just before your head hits the pillow and how it will change your life Why keeping exercise an important part of your life Abundance and the secret to unlocking all of it Sam's overall vision and perspective as it pertains to life, love, and business And much more!

Here we are at the end of the year! How are you feeling about it? Are you still trying to recover from the last couple of years? Working through holiday remnants? Are you looking forward to a new year with hope or dread? After all, we all celebrated when 2020 ended and then 2021 did the thing of “hold my beer.” If there's one thing I've learned about the past is that everyone deals with it differently. There are those who just live there. There are others who walk away and claim to never look back. I'm not sure how that happens but I think I'm more in between the two. I looked up definitions of "resolution," "revolution," and many more only to find that really, we get a release for radical restoration and change! Doesn't that get you excited??I want this next year to be a REVOLUTION OF RESOLUTION! A year where we make a conscious decision to release the past to enable us to find FREEDOM in change! What is it that you want this next year to look like? Are you living in a state of just trying to survive day after day, struggling to see through the fog of society and life? What if…what if there was something more? What if you could make a radical change…in your life…with your family…at your job…What if there was a way you could break free from the depression…the stress…the burdens that way you down, physically and mentally, and from there you found what release, peace, and purpose truly means?What if you understood how you are completely and utterly chosen for such a time as THIS? Does it mean an easy path? No, this is real life. Every day life is what tempts us with giving up on hope. The world and culture is what tempts us with thinking all is lost and there is nothing beyond where we are right now.But I am telling you, friend to friend, that is a lie! Change for the better is not always easy, but the TRUTH is that it is SO worth it!For the first time, I am going to be hosting an online interactive BIBLE STUDY beginning Jan 19th. It is called “What does it mean to be chosen” and last 8 weeks. We will be meeting online once a week, having in depth discussions that are around this question. The book is by Amanda and Dallas Jenkins, the creator of the tv series, The Chosen. It is the most beautiful show that I have seen in a really long time and has completely changed my desire, drive, and focus for how I am living life. If you would like to join me, you can send an email to courtney@imperfectlypollyanna.com or send a private message to me on Facebook or Instagram.All the things you tell yourself…the reasons why life is how it is…the reasons why it won't work out…the reasons you may think keep you from living a more joyful and fulfilling life…Those reasons don't measure up to the truth of who you have been called to be. They don't change the fact that you have been chosen and you can make your own choice to sit back and ride the rollercoaster of life, not knowing what's coming next and holding your breath for the next foot to drop.OR! You can decide today that enough is enough. You can decide it is time for a radical change…a release…a stretching that propels you into the person you have been called to be.What do you say, are you in for a REVOLUTION OF RESOLUTION?

Some of the best things in life come from struggle, challenge, adversity, and abandonment, which drives people to go certain directions in life.  Jeff Smith is the founder of Cannon Fitness and Performance, Host of the Tactical Empire Podcast, Co-Owner of 68 Rental Properties, and is a Business and Fitness Coach.  His previous career took him into the Army Special Forces with the Ranger Battalion, one of the most difficult achievements to attain in the Army.

Jeff Brekken was working a 60-hour week on his family's farm by the time he was 10. When he wasn't helping with the harvest, he was at the hockey rink. Jeff's early life experiences taught him he needs to be either all-in or all-out.  In 2000 he started a single-family home construction business and by 2008 he was looking for his next big thing. Jeff founded the Blue Sky Benefit Solutions & Rise Above HR/Recruiting on top of a lifelong passion for helping people. Through this show, Jeff will take that passion one step further.

Date: October 3, 2021 Speaker: Pastor Ryan Kimmel Theme: As Paul wraps up his second missionary journey, going through Corinth and returning to Antioch, we see the influential leader of the synagogue, Crispus, converted to Christian, but not just him – the Bible tells us also his entire household. Faith is meant to be a family affair! And not just the family of the home, but the church is meant to be a family. Before he concludes this missionary journey, it says that Paul spent time “strengthening the brothers.” Using the language of family (brothers), we see a critical piece of church life is that the church is a family encouraging each other – and that is why we at Peace will build the family of the home – and the family of the church! https://vimeo.com/621861258

Introduction Welcome to Let's Talk Family Enterprise, a podcast that explores the ideas, concepts and models that best serve Family Enterprise Advisors in supporting their clients.   All views, information and opinions expressed during this podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of Family Enterprise Canada.   Description In this episode, Ruth Steverlynck sits down with guest Scott Peppet to explore why the traditional family office lens of managing financial capital and legal risk - whilst important - is not in service of the primary task of a family office: the family. Scott shares his thoughts on what a family-focused office looks, acts and feels like where the well-being of the family is front and centre. What he shares is applicable to all advisors who work with families of wealth irrespective of whether there is a family office.   Guest bio Scott Peppet is the President of a single-family office and private trust company, an advisor to family members seeking a more authentic presence around wealth, a speaker and writer on family enterprise issues, a facilitator of difficult but generative conversations for business and family leaders, an expert on conflict and negotiation and a Zen priest.   You can find out more about Scott Peppet on his website.   Key Takeaways [0:30] Ruth Steverlynck introduces Scott Peppet to the podcast and invites him to share a little bit about his background from being a lawyer, writing books and being an ordained Zen priest.   [6:40] What is a family-focused office, and how does it differ from a family office? Scott shares some pitfalls of having technical expertise while advising families.   [12:16] Are you in service of the family or are you in service of the wealth? Scott speaks to why a family-focused office is important.   [15:22] Outsourcing the mental and emotional well-being of a family may not be the right choice; Scott touches on what happens when an organization shifts to a family-focused mindset.   [16:52] Scott breaks down what a family-focused office looks like. He also touches on what a “wonder question” is and how a family-focused office might be able to tackle those.   [21:40] Scott talks about a little-discussed indicator of a family office and how he often sees fear in the organizations he visits.   [25:25] Scott shares what wealthy family members need more than anything — and rarely get from the world — which can shift their world from obligation to opportunity.   [30:30] Scott's guiding beliefs come from multiple sources; he shares how “from obligation to opportunity” came to be and the impact it has had on his life and practice.   [36:13] The “to me” vs. “by me” mindsets and how this impacts family members.   [37:55] Ruth speaks to how helpful for her work Scott's whitepapers have been; she invites him to share some of the other topics he writes about so other advisors can use his resources.   [42:20] Scott shares his reading suggestions and advice for advisors.   [44:18] Ruth thanks Scott for sharing so much of his expertise and invites listeners to subscribe to the podcast.   Share your thoughts with us at fea@familyenterprise.ca   Mentioned in this episode The Let's Talk Family Enterprise podcast is brought to you by Family Enterprise Canada.   Book: The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership: A New Paradigm for Sustainable Success, by Jim Dethmer, Diana Chapman and Kaley Klemp   More about Family Enterprise Canada Family Enterprise Canada Family Enterprise Canada on LinkedIn Family Enterprise Canada on Twitter Family Enterprise Canada on Facebook

In this episode, I speak to Dr John McMullen,  Educational Psychologist and Senior Lecturer at Stranmillis College and Queens University Belfast.  In this episode, we speak about John's work and study with War-Affected Children in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. John discusses how he became involved in work in Africa, the values that have underpinned this work and what he has learnt from engaging in it for 15 years. We explore the importance of being hopeful in times of darkness. We examine the ethicality of work in Africa and the ways in which psychological and cultural approaches can interact. John talks about the importance of listening, learning and working in partnership with African communities to co-produce relational, hopeful and sustainable change in these areas. We conclude by discussing the current media narratives around refugees in the UK and how EPs can approach this issue.

Are you a woman who knows she wants to get married and have a family more than anything else, but you're hesitant to tell anyone because you fear the responses you'll get from your parents, your friends, or, well, from just about anyone you tell? Or perhaps you're a woman who's already mapped out a life with a career at the center, and you want nothing more than to switch gears and put family first. Or perhaps you're a mother at home who's lonely because you can't find other moms just like you. There's never been a more challenging time for marriage-minded women who want a simple life devoted to family, rather than a career that takes them away from the home for the majority of their waking hours. Today on the show we're going to talk with Gina Arnold, who grew up with all the usual trappings of feminism as it worked its way into her psyche. We're going to talk with Gina about how she ultimately chose a different path and how other women can be inspired to listen to their gut when mapping out their futures.

Pastor Tom Grieb concludes our series, "Core Values." This week we consider what it means to be Family-Focused.  In this regard we are saying about ourselves that “we desire to come alongside families both at home and at church in supporting, nurturing, and encouraging growth in Christ.”  We understand that the church complements what goes on at home regarding the spiritual nurture of all concerned, particularly our children. Saint John has always stood alongside our families to help nurture our children and youth.  We recognize we are in a partnership of sorts.  Teaching our children well is a high calling both for parents and the church.  We'd do well to recognize that and do everything in our power to live that out—at church and at home.

Mia is spending 7 days in a row going through 49 of her 101 Doable Changes. The idea behind a "doable change" is that you choose one to focus on each week and fully lean into it, fitting it into your busy schedule. By focusing on just one thing you can have fun with it, and watch how all the little things add up over time. Day 5 of the Doable Changes Podcast Series is on family-focused changes. Our kids get so marketed to by the food industry. These changes zero in on some of the things we can do to market healthy habits in our families. !
