IntroThis week I go free flow on a topic that I believe is important right now - recognising and knowing that you matter, your contribution matters, your work matters, your life matters...Feeling a bit lost or like your life doesn't matter? Well, buckle up, because we're diving deep into the big questions today! I'm Heather Masters, and in this episode, we're tackling the essentials of life: Did you live? Did you love? Did you matter? It's a stream of consciousness kinda vibe as we explore the chaos of our world and how it's affecting our sense of value and connection. Whether you're feeling isolated or just need a little pep talk to remind you that you absolutely matter, this episode is packed with reflections and insights that'll help you shine a light on your own worth. So grab your favourite cuppa and snack, kick back, and let's get contemplative.The Details:Ever felt like you're just going through the motions of life? Like, did I even really live today? Well, Heather Masters sure knows that feeling all too well! In this enlightening episode of the Choosing Happy Podcast, she opens up a can of contemplative worms—asking all the juicy questions about our existence. It's not just a casual chit-chat; it's a heartfelt exploration that nudges listeners to reflect on their lives. Heather's stream of consciousness takes us through her own journeys of love, loss, and the quest for meaning. She expertly weaves in her experiences of being a caregiver, a traveller, and a mom, making it relatable to anyone who's ever paused and wondered, “What's the point?” Throughout the episode, we are reminded that life can sometimes throw us curveballs that make us feel isolated, especially during tough times. It's a wild world out there, and Heather captures the essence of that chaos while also shining a light on the importance of self-worth. She digs into the idea that while the world seems to reward the wrong things, we need to flip the script on how we view our value. With her playful humour, she encourages us to take an honest inventory of our lives, to see where we have lived, loved, and truly mattered. And guess what? It doesn't take a grand gesture to make a difference—sometimes it's the little things that count! As we wrap up this thought-provoking chat, Heather leaves us with a powerful message: we matter! Your existence is a beautiful miracle, and it's time to celebrate that. So if you're ready to feel uplifted and inspired, tune in for a dose of positivity and laughter that will remind you to cherish your journey and choose happiness every single day. Trust me, you won't want to miss it!Takeaways: In a world where chaos reigns, remember that your life has value and purpose. Feeling isolated is a common challenge, but you are not alone in this struggle. Contemplate your existence: have you lived, loved, and truly mattered to others? It's crucial to audit where you give your energy; keep your cup full, my friend! Value yourself first, because you can only help others when you're at your best. Life is a wild ride; embrace the journey and find joy in your unique experiences.

In the shadow of the tragic murder of two young Israeli diplomats, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, who dedicated their lives to peace, we confront the heart-wrenching questions: Are we still the Chosen People? Can we still believe in humanity when humanity seems to fall apart? This week's Torah portion, Bechukotai, addresses blessings and brutal curses, followed by the surprising laws of erchin, evaluating human worth. From this strange juxtaposition, Chassidic masters draw a powerful truth: even after unspeakable loss, the value of a human soul remains eternal and divine. Through stories of survival and sacred resistance, from Auschwitz to Washington D.C. we rediscover that our calling is not diminished by darkness, but rather revealed by it. This class is dedicated to the memory of Yaron and Sarah, may G-d avenge their blood. Takeaways:The antidote to darkness is dignity. The Torah teaches us that even after curses, we must return to affirming the value of each soul.Giving heals.

https://youtu.be/Fka2npq2Kjg Marcus Hamaker, CEO of [bu:st] USA, is driven by a passion for helping small businesses find their pursuit of value by simplifying projects, optimizing processes, and streamlining operations for sustainable growth. We learn about Marcus's journey from growing up in a family business to leading [bu:st] USA, where he applies lean principles to help organizations improve alignment, communication, and execution. He explains the 5 Steps to Finding Value framework—Organizational Alignment, Communication, SOPs, Change Management, and Project Controls—guiding businesses to remove inefficiencies and drive sustainable growth. He also shares how the Boost Method ensures teams operate with clarity and purpose, emphasizing fastest time to value as a key metric for success. He highlights key leadership lessons and the mindset shifts entrepreneurs need to scale effectively. --- Pursuit Value with Marcus Hamaker Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. And my guest today is Marcus Hamaker, the CEO of [bu:st] USA, a consulting firm that helps you simplify your projects, optimize your processes and streamline your organization. He is also the host of The Pursuit of Value Podcast. Marcus, welcome to the show.  Hey, Steve, how are you? Thanks for having me.  Yeah, I am super pumped to have you. It's going to be a great episode and we are going to start as usual with the 'Why', because that's what powers great entrepreneurs. They have a strong 'Why'. So what is your personal 'Why', Marcus, and what are you doing to manifest it in [bu:st] or any of your businesses? Yeah. So, my personal 'Why' is just to make companies better. Ever since I was younger, growing up in the family business, watching my dad work hard. I'm very intrigued by business and it's really interesting to me why one business can succeed exponentially and another business really struggles to get off the ground. And so what we do at [bu:st] USA, what my podcast is about, The Pursuit of Value, is really helping small businesses be better.Share on X Real simple. And I also believe that small business has the power to change the world. I believe that business is and can be the greatest force for good in the world today because of just the entity and the formation of it. Also, not only what you can do with your employees internally, but how you can embrace the environment that you're in. Wherever that's in Italy, whether it's here in the United States, you have the ability and the responsibility and the opportunity to impact wherever your business sits. And so I really love small business.  Yeah. And small businesses are always exposed to market forces and there's no way to take it easy and you always have to strive to be competitive and make a profit and definitely is a powerful force for reducing waste. And I'm making this point because one of the things that [bu:st] does is to apply Lean principles. Tell me a little bit about the [bu:st] method that your company, your group developed, and how do you bring in Lean?  Yeah, so when we talk about Lean, it really has to do with value and it has to do with defining what is valuable to the company. So what's valuable to a manufacturer might be very different to what's valuable to a service company, right? So in our [bu:st] method, we always want to start with defining the future picture. What is success to that company? Or more simply, what is the solution to the problem that they're running into? So you define the future picture, you define the targets, you build the roadmap.  And through that whole process of defining the value, you also want to throw out what's not valuable. And that's where it lines up with Lean. And we always really try to focus on making every step, every process as efficient as possible. And that's what's really important. And that's what we do really well at [bu:st] USA.

In Episode 398 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Kennox Strategic Value Fund investment directors Charles Heenan and Geoff Legg about their investment framework and macro worldview. Known for their focus on top-quality, sector-leading companies, Charles and Geoff share valuable insights about what it takes to build and manage a portfolio with a long-term, value-driven perspective. This conversation explores the challenge of finding value in a world that seems to have gone absolutely insane. Not only are developed economies facing challenges and confronting headwinds that require us to think differently about investment risk, but many market participants seem to be increasingly indifferent to value as an anchor for assessing an asset's investment worthiness and the price they are willing to pay in order to own it. In the first hour, Demetri asks Charles Heenan and Geoff Legg about their value investment framework and how it informs—and is shaped by—their macro worldview. They also delve into the process and philosophy guiding their investment decisions, including how they are positioning themselves for a world characterized by structurally high inflation, geopolitical risk, and capital controls. In the second hour, the discussion takes a deeper dive into investment philosophy and the qualities required to be a successful investor. Topics include the distinction between luck and skill, the balance between action and patience, the importance of being risk-focused rather than optimizing for returns, and why the skills that generate success as an entrepreneur or founder could be detrimental to your performance as an investor. The audience also gets a first-hand look into Charles' and Geoff's rigorous process for evaluating potential investments. They share their perspectives on various sectors and asset classes, including energy companies, gold miners, telecom providers, retailers, and other businesses across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
