When I think back to times and places that were difficult, they usually seem not as bad as when I was there. There is a reason for this, and it's called Fading Affect Bias. But first, a memory. We were deployed in Baghdad and in the midst of it. 18-hour days of grind. I'd beat the sun up and stumble over to the secure room we set up to access highly classified material. The coffee wasn't great, but if Folgers was good enough for grandad, it was good enough for me. We'd push pixels, people, and ourselves on that deployment. It was hard. I also knew I was pushing myself pretty hard. Too hard, in hindsight. Then one day, a buddy on the team looked at me and said, “Hey, I gotta tell you, you have to stop being so negative.”He was a friend, and I love him for having the courage to snap me back to reality. There was a lot wrong, like the hole in the roof from a rocket and the persecution happening all around us. And the Army, which comes with lots to criticize - bureaucracy, red tape, bad food, low pay, IEDs, and laziness. Some of that, particularly the last one, would be a reason to get out several years later. Almost every day, I miss it. I miss the dust in your nose, the adrenaline at the gate, and unknown corners - real and metaphorical. I miss the new cultures, the lessons, and the flatbread with all the fixings from a little window in Sulamaniyah. I miss the places few have been and the wide-eyed “thank you” when you change someone's life with something the Department of Defense marked for the rubbage bin. Not to mention fierce friendship, the ‘embrace the suck' attitude, and the ‘just don't quit' mantras. I've been curious why I remember it more fondly than when I was there. It turns out there is a psychological reason, and it's called Fading Affect Bias (FAB). With Fading Affect Bias, negative emotions associated with an event tend to fade faster than positive ones. This fading can start as soon as the same day. When something terrible happens, or I make a mistake, I drag it around for a while. Over time, it fades. It won't all fade and often comes back when we don't want it. At night lying there in the dark, a smell that instantly transports you or any of 1,000 other triggers. “Dude, stop”Fifteen years later, I remember vividly that moment riding in that grey SUV with the gold stripe down the side. My buddy looked over at me and said, “Dude, stop.”What I was complaining about didn't matter. Were there frustrating things? Yes. Did I think command could do more? Yes. Did I think some guys weren't pulling their weight? Unequivocally. Rarely does complaining make it better. By complaining, we are complicit. Not only do I shake my head at the things that frustrated me due to their pettiness, but frankly, I'm embarrassed. I'm in the middle of a book by one of my favorite writers, and he's sharing tales of WWI. The trenches, the starvation, and wave after wave of men walking into machine gun fire. Now there's a reason to complain. There I was with a chow hall, a mostly hot shower, and coffee each morning. Yet, I dared to complain. People were barely making it a few hundred meters away, and I had the US Government's full force to ensure I had what I needed. And my family was at home, safe. Yet, I complained. Note to SelfWe will lose things, friends, and dreams. Complaining rarely makes it better. Often, it makes it worse. Usually, there are worse things happening to better people. When you find yourself starting to see all that is wrong, stop and flip it over. There's likely more good than your lens is letting you see. Clean it. I'm grateful for the fade, but more importantly, I'm grateful for friends that call me out. I'm also grateful that it doesn't all fade. There are too many lessons and moments I don't want to lose, including this one. Take care, friends. This is a public episode.

From Steph Curry’s three-point legacy to kids scared of flying after a Philly plane crash, Opie covers it all. Plus, nostalgic musings on chicken pox parties, a Levain cookie obsession, and a firm “who cares” to Anthony’s AM radio gig.

St. Paul Lutheran, Taylor, Texas It's been said that it's easier to enter the church kitchen door than the church door itself. Petie Tocquigny knew that truth well, and today, we are about to find out exactly what she meant. You see, across America, in over 200,000 church kitchens, a quiet army of more than 20 million volunteers is at work. Their mission? To serve. Their motto? “We live to serve.”And oh, the characters we have met who Serve It Up. So let's take a little trip together, down to the heart of Texas, to a town named Taylor. Home of friendly faces, world-famous barbecue, the Taylor Ducks, and a church kitchen that has warmed more than just bellies. At St. Paul Lutheran, they are keeping big hearts in a small town, even as Taylor grows into a hub for semiconductor chips, thanks to the arrival of Samsung. But technology aside, today we're interested in a different kind of power. The power of a kitchen. The power of service. The power of the people behind it all.We step through the kitchen door at St. Paul Lutheran, where generations have gathered, and where my wife, Carla Rohlack, originated. Today, she returns to her roots to see what's cooking—literally and spiritually. There is Jeanie Schneider, a veteran church kitchen lady, famous for her casseroles and cookies. You might even recognize her—her caricature graces Gracefully Yours greeting cards, celebrating the unsung, humorous heroes of the church kitchen.On the Saturday night before a potluck brunch, Jeanie shared her secrets. In her home, a handful of faithful friends gathered to talk about St. Paul, potluck traditions, and, of course, pie. There was laughter, wisdom, and a serious commitment to making sure Sunday morning would be just right. The headline that night? “We are ready to serve, whoever walks through the door.” Sunday morning arrives. The Servin' Up team is already in action, led by Rita Kelm. She has volunteered in the kitchen since the very first Sunday brunch. Since 7:45 a.m., Rita, Jeanie, Janet Brinkmeyer, Gayle Collins, Shirley Evans, Wandeen Sankewitz, Marilyn Artieschoufsky, Carmen McCleery, and Sandra Umiker have been heating up the kitchen, brewing Folgers coffee, sweetening iced tea, and making lemonade. The tables are set for autumn, even though the Texas sun insists it's still summer. In the narthex, we find Don Artieschoufsky. He has a story to tell. Servin' Up isn't just about food. It's about action. Habitat for Humanity has found a strong ally in St. Paul Lutheran, as has Shepherd's Heart. Through their efforts, they give others faith and resources to help them sustain their lives.They give them a reason to believe, to have the faith they are going to need to press on, and perhaps even help others—paying it forward. Pastor Qualley welcomes everyone, including those who might otherwise feel unwelcome. The homeless are not turned away. They are not shunned. They are, instead, seen, heard, and fed—both in body and spirit. Because, after all, the words of Christ remind us, “Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me.” Back in the fellowship hall, the feast is ready. What's on the table today? Burritos. Cheese queso, a recipe from Naomi Pasemann. Chick-fil-A nuggets, Golden Chick, casseroles from—well, almost everyone. And lasagna, because you can never go wrong with lasagna. And of course, a disproportionate amount of dessert. Apple pie from H-E-B—a church kitchen shortcut that still gets the job done. And a peach cobbler from Janell, age 92, who has been serving up sweetness since 1945. Jeanie's cookies are standouts. We see Christine Rohlack, the first woman president of the congregation along with her husband Thomas. She believes in leading by serving. Her two sons are already following in her footsteps, learning the St. Paul tradition of putting others first. Teaching the significance of service to the next generation is a priority. And in walks Pastor Qualley into the kitchen, a man with a particular weakness for a church kitchen classic—pimento cheese sandwiches. The plates are full. The hearts, even fuller. This is what a place of significance is all about. Feeding others, and in turn, feeding the soul. But the real work? That begins on Monday. Because a place of significance isn't just for Sunday events. It's a way of life. It's the home of the Ruth Circle, which serves grieving families, arranging for celebration-of-life meals following funerals. Then there is the next Habitat for Humanity project, filling the pantry at Shepherd's Heart food pantry, the church garage sale, and the opening day for the St. Paul Child Development Center. As the hymn goes, His compassion bids us bear, stirring us to ardent service, your abundant life to share. It's about bringing what you can in time, talent, and treasure, so someone else can have what they need. It's the heartbeat of a community, and ultimately, a way to serve the Creator who made us all. What's a place of significance? Anywhere volunteers stand ready to serve others.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

For our final drop at Place to be Nation we at It Was a Thing on TV bring you our Christmas 2024 series of shows.   First, we thought it would be appropriate and timely to look at commercials for the must have gift of 1989, an item celebrating its 35th birtheay this year--the Nintendo GameBoy.   Then, in what is a first, we present our first instant minisode.  Chico was sent a video of a creepy Folgers commercial from 15 years ago.  After bringing it to everybody's attention, a decision was made to cover this immediately, instead of waiting until Christmas 2025.  Who knew the addition of one word could turn this commercial from heartwarming to creepy?   Finally, we look at a Hallmark Christmas movie. In this 2013 TV movie, Alicia Witt plays an NYC store owner who gets proposed to by the man of her dreams but when she's sent to the airport by herself to meet her family a series of accidents happen and hilarity ensues. Will she find love with the man she believes is her brother or will she stay with the snooty rich fiancee? I think you already know the answer to that question. Merry Christmas everybody!   Thanks to everyone at Place to be Nation for your support the last four years on the POP feed and we hope you continue to follow us on our regular Podbean feed where we'll present new episodes every Monday and Thursday roughly over at itwasathingontv.com    Timestamps 0:11 - Rickey Henderson In Memoriam 1:27 - Game Boy Commercials (Episode 523) 44:55 - The Folgers brother and sister commercial from 2009 (Minisode 32) 54:46 - Intermission 55:30 - Cold Open to Episode 524 59:03 - A Very Merry Mix-Up (Episode 524) 1:48:34 - Easter Egg

Okay, so a brother / sister remix weirded Mary out. So did big brother / little brother even though they just act like they're full brothers, when in reality, they're half brothers. So let's go in another direction. We asked robot to write us a version of the ad that even frat boys wouldn't be weirded out by. Well, perhaps robot understood frat boys better than us.

In what is a first, we present our first instant minisode.  Chico was sent a video of a creepy Folgers commercial from 15 years ago.  After bringing it to everybody's attention, a decision was made to cover this immediately, instead of waiting until Christmas 2025.  Who knew the addition of one word could turn this commercial from heartwarming to creepy?

Our gift to you this holiday season is to bring you commercials that caused controversy! Sometimes Christmas commercials can bring a warm fuzzy feeling and other times...not so much. Crack open the eggnog, don your Santa hat, and listen to what Folgers, Kmart, and Mr. Kipling did on Christmas!

We're continuing our journey to use robot to rewrite a more acceptable ad than what Folgers delivered fifteen years ago. Let's see what robot thinks would happen if we rolled the Hanson brothers into the ad, with the Jo walking in at an inopportune moment.

The Folgers ad really shocked the conscience of a troubled nation. Robot helps us imagine what that commercial would have looked like if the brother / sister combo were indeed Amanda Woodward and David Michaels, with Hillary Michaels stepping in at an uncomfortable moment.

Folgers Incest Ad: The Oral History of "Coming Home" for the Coffee Commercial's 10th Anniversary | GQ In 2009, Folgers released a nice, downhome, wholesome ad, where a brother and sister are clearly into each other. Mary had never seen the ad. Until now.

Probably the common question asked to me as a magic mentor. "Why didn't my spell work" No matter if you are new to art of spell casting or a well season professional, proper alignment of the mind, body, and soul, is the key. We often hear that intention is everything, but how does the saying go... the road to hell is paved in what??? I think you get my point. Intention is key, as it gives direction. But in order to see, create, and experience our desires we must not only achieve alignment with our desires, we must maintain it. Join me in this mornings episode of Folgers and Backwoods for a powerful conversation on spell cast, negating energy, and how to cast spells that really work.

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown continue into Hour 2 after yet another hilarious appearance from standup comedian Kevin Bozeman! They talk touch on the biggest news story of the day (outside of the NFL trade deadline and Jess Nelson's birthday), as Jim compares Primetime to the analytics/stats guy who does all the election coverage. Would Prime pull more ladies if he looked like Steve Kornacki, and why is he putting down the demo of Molly's love life? Molly sticks around for Throwing Stones before dipping early for some family business, as she and Jim throw out takes on how long you can survive without caffeine, the iconic brother & sister? commercial from Folgers, and everyone needs to quit trying to poll the election on their personal social media. Jason Wilde joins a solo Jim Rutledge on Jim, Jim & Jim. Jim talks to Jason fresh off of Brian Gutekunst's trade deadline press conference, talking about the Packers trading away their only old veteran Preston Smith to the Steelers and why the team's young defensive linemen will need to start stepping up in his absence. They also talk about Gutey's overall philosophy about trades and why it made sense to deal Preston like they did Rasul Douglas last year despite being a clear playoff contender this season. Jim also asks Jason for his thoughts on Jordan Love's continuing turnover issues and the balance between being too aggressive versus to conservative. With the NFL Trade deadline and the Presidential Election falling on the same day, Jim asks Jason how he is relaxing from the chaos of today, and would he rather avoid the election coverage news or talking about his producer Jesse Nelson's birthday?

Ahhhh, that four letter word that we love to here, love. And boy do we, love. We love people, places, things, ideas, we love actions, and gestures, food, and clothing. In a world filled with so much love how is it that most people are still unhappy and often feel unloved? Is it possible that we don't even know what love is?

It's safe to say that 1990 represented the absolute zenith of thrash metal greatness. All you have to do is thumb through everything released that year and you'll have irrefutable proof. Thrash was at its peak when SUICIDAL TENDENCIES unleashed their 5th studio album, LIGHTS…CAMERA…REVOLUTION! their first to feature “future Metallica bassist” Robert Trujillo and also their first album to be sonically dominated more so by pure thrash than their earlier punk based, crossover sound.  Even with all of the other epic albums released back in 1990, THIS one has the perfect guitar tone. With crystal clear cleans, precise crunch, brutal riffing, and face melting shreddery (not to mention Mike Muir's undeniable lyrical message), this is quite literally THE perfect thrash album, an unmatched, hall of fame, stone cold classic. It literally has “all the balls”. We were “a little more twanglified than normal” because “we kinda went hard last night”. It's time to discover some of the greatest “misheard lyrics” in metal and “chop out a line of Folgers” as we do our best to “bring smiles to faces” and lift others spirits during times of trouble. Get ready for some “tingling” (down there), grab yourself a to-go order of Ron's “Rib Lounge Riblets”, break out your “laserdisc” players and JOIN US as we dive into “the perfect thrash album” known as LIGHTS…CAMERA…REVOLUTION!

[00:00:00] Alberto Huerta: If I were to get a do over in life, I would have more consistently put family above my professional life. I would say a disproportionate commitment to my professional growth ended up not being the best choice when it came to prioritizing family. I think on a day-to-day basis, we can also suffer from long days or lots of travel and my do over would really center around being able to still strive for excellence, strive for impact, but to more consistently be able to do that both in my marriage and with my kids and in my community, as well as professionally. ++++++++++++++ [00:00:42] Alberto Huerta: Our guest today is Alberto Huerta. Alberto has brought his expertise in brand strategy and management, marketing and fundraising strategy, product development and innovation, and donor insights and analytics to such organizations as Visa, Kraft, Procter Gamble, Compassion International, and World Vision. [00:01:03] Tommy Thomas: He's skilled in turnaround, startups, and global enterprise operations. Alberto, welcome to NextGen Nonprofit Leadership. [00:01:11] Alberto Huerta: Thank you so much, Tommy. It's a pleasure to be with you today. [00:01:14] Tommy Thomas: Before we go too deep into your professional experience, I always like to explore someone's childhood.  So take me back to your childhood.  What do you remember as being formative? [00:01:28] Alberto Huerta: Certainly, the people in my life. Tommy, I had a mom who was always there for me. Unconditional love for sure. My dad modeled honesty and hard work and respect for others. An amazing brother who modeled kindness and generosity. And I have to highlight my grandma who modeled Jesus for me. And it took me a while, but she certainly planted some seeds that sprouted later in my faith walk. Besides just the great people in my life, English was always a part of my life growing up in Mexico. My mom loved the U.S. She traveled to the U.S. when she was really young. [00:02:04] Alberto Huerta: And instilled that in our family. I developed a taste for other cultures and languages living outside of the U.S. and in Europe and then back to Mexico where I chose to study industrial engineering. I never really practiced it, but it ended up being a really great school and a really great skill set for what I ended up doing. [00:02:26] Tommy Thomas: What was high school like in Mexico? [00:02:29] Alberto Huerta: High school in Mexico … I was in Colorado Springs for a couple of years with my uncles. They were kind enough to receive me and my brother for 9th and 10th grade. So when I got back to Mexico, it'd been about seven years. I'd been away in Europe with my mom. And then, as I said, with my uncles in Colorado, and so getting back to Mexico to finish high school was, a really different experience. It was almost a reverse cultural shock getting back and getting acquainted with Mexico again. I had the fortune of being in an upper middle class family where I had access to really great schooling, which led to the opportunity to go to the Monterey Institute of Technology to be able to study there. So really grateful for the opportunities my parents opened. [00:03:17] Tommy Thomas: What's something that people are always surprised to know about you? [00:03:24] Alberto Huerta: Oh boy!  That I have only spent 15 years of my life in Mexico. I'm 52 this year which means that I've been around a lot of places, both in Europe and Canada, where my two daughters were born and then a variety of different places in the U.S. where different opportunities both with P&G and Kraft and Visa. So, I would say the amount of exposure to different cultures and different cities. I just love languages. I love different cultures. I've really gravitated to global roles over the years because I really appreciate and enjoy the company of people from other countries and the friendships that I've been able to develop.  So that's a big part of what has shaped me. And I credit my mom for that. [00:04:05] Tommy Thomas: So, you spent the first 15 years of your career with P&G. What went into your decision to go with P&G? [00:04:12] Alberto Huerta: The friend that introduced me to Brenda, my wife of 27 years, was the same friend who said to me one day, last semester of industrial engineering school, he said Procter & Gamble is on campus. It's really hard to get in. We ought to go try. And so, we did and that was my introduction P&G and brand management. This whole idea of, at a very early stage in your career, being given a business to run and managing it from a brand and marketing viewpoint. So, the process itself, Tommy, was extraordinary and had multiple steps in it. The highlight for me was a three-day weekend in a hotel where they cooped us up, all 40 candidates of us, and just put us through the ringer. [00:05:02] Alberto Huerta: Late nights being evaluated on our leadership skills. I made it somehow and was able to enter the P&G family. I am so grateful for my years there. The leadership that they teach. And enable you to practice the mastery, the collaboration across various functions and up and down the management chain. I am really grateful for my time with P&G, which actually started in Mexico, but then continued in the Czech Republic. That in and of itself is a long story. And then Canada, and then all roads lead to Cincinnati when you're at P&G. And so, I did my last year's working on fabric care, or more simply said, detergents. [00:05:46] Tommy Thomas: Thinking back to your first management job when you actually had somebody reporting to you, what do you remember about that? [00:05:55] Alberto Huerta: I'm still in touch with the three, four people that were with me in my first assignment. That was brand manager for Folgers up in Canada. And it was just such an honor to be able to recognize that I had the opportunity, even if just for a year or two or three an opportunity to shape the career of people with such talents and energy and deeply complex personal lives. So, for me to look for that opportunity to develop and play a valuable role in people's development has always been super, super motivating for me. [00:06:31] Tommy Thomas: So, let's fast forward to today and if I had the privilege to come out to Compassion or World Vision and you let me talk to your direct reports, what would they say would be the most challenging aspect of working with Alberto?  And then what would they say would be the most rewarding part of working for you? [00:06:49] Alberto Huerta: The most challenging part, I would say my favorite movie is Rocky. And aside from my lack of true film knowledge, you could say, Rocky is relentless, and he doesn't give up easily. And sometimes that can be tiring because there's always a higher bar. There's always the next goal. Taking no for an answer but working together to find ways to get around it. I think in a sense, I think that can be tiring. And I am very driven. [00:07:21] Alberto Huerta: I am very high energy. So, one of the things that I've learned is to think about the way I was taught. What gear do you enter a conversation with? If you're always in 4th gear, 5th gear, 6th gear that can be unnecessary sometimes and that generally is my default. So, what does it look like to enter a conversation in first gear or second gear? And really being able to connect and engage in a variety of ways based on the situation and the person. [00:07:50] Alberto Huerta: Now about what might be exciting or fun for people to work with me, it's always the strength and the other side is the opportunity, isn't it? And for me it's exciting to see how people respond to the energy I can bring towards what is possible. What are we building over time? What are we building over time together? That is meaningful. So, you can imagine that coming into Christian nonprofits has been particularly motivating because it takes it from something that can be very exciting and what you're doing with a package good or in financial services, but to be able to have that same kind of energy and transformational dream for us to work towards and against, I think is something that is motivating. [00:08:33] Alberto Huerta: Based on the feedback that I receive in helping people find their particular way of contributing towards the greater transformation that we're aiming for as a team. And so, I think that's probably what services to the top. When I think about the feedback I've received over the years. ++++++++++++++++ [00:08:51] Tommy Thomas: Tell me a little bit about the mentors in your life.  Who has been the most influential mentor? [00:08:57] Alberto Huerta: I'll give you a person as well, a regular human being, but I do value the teaching of the Bible around praying continuously and being able to be sensitive to the Spirit is something that I strive for every day in this very conversation, what am I, why am I saying, what is helpful, what is not helpful, what is imbued with the direction and love of Jesus.  He's my moment-to-moment mentor. And I love him for that. I would say the second would be my brother. He knows me through and through, the highs and the lows. And what I appreciate about him the most is his listening and his ability to demonstrate unconditional love to tell me what I need to hear, whether it's easy to hear or not.  And so, I appreciate him for that. I think he would be my longest-term mentor, I would say. [00:09:46] Tommy Thomas: In 2015, you left what was probably a financially lucrative job with Visa to go to work with Compassion. Tell us about that move. [00:09:58] Alberto Huerta: It's a move that really had its beginnings in 2010, five years earlier. I realized in my faith walk, for me, it was not going to make sense to think about retiring in a for profit job. And so, I began conversations with Christian nonprofits that would value mass marketing skills, mass brand building skills. And that led me to start a conversation with organizations like World Vision, like Compassion and it was not an easy decision, but it was one that I felt really great about the point in time where this decision became most pressing was when I was working at Visa, and at the same time, my wife and I were co pastoring a small Hispanic congregation and I sensed a need a calling to integrate more of my lifestyle and be able to work for an organization that was in and of itself dedicated to advancing the purposes of Jesus. And so ultimately that's what made that decision, although a big one, a very natural and easy one for me when the day came. [00:11:13] Tommy Thomas: What's the most significant difference you've observed between the private sector and the nonprofit sector? [00:11:24] Alberto Huerta: Oh, there's a lot of similarities, but there's certainly some differences. Probably at the heart of it, when I think about differences, I truly value the focus on a mission that is so clear and so compelling and really goes above any financial metrics. Now, I know that's also true of some for-profit organizations. In fact, probably some of the ones that are most profitable and most successful over time are ones that do see beyond just the financial. But that is obviously much more common, I would say, and much more natural for a nonprofit to be able to value their mission to value the impact that they're making, and it truly changes how one contributes to it because it's not enough to be a marketer. [00:12:12] Alberto Huerta: It's not enough to be a fundraiser. It's about truly understanding the impact that is being made. How is that impact made? What are the actions that drive that impact? How effective are we making that impact? I think that is so crucial in being a successful and an effective marketer within a nonprofit. Being able to build a very strong bond and tight relationship with the programmatic leaders. So that would be one that I would highlight, Tommy, and that leads to the importance of end-to-end solutioning with programs which I've enjoyed a whole lot. It's one thing to solve for a supporter or a donor. [00:12:52] Alberto Huerta: It's another in the much more complex model that the nonprofits have where there's more stakeholders in play to be able to solve for the whole and to be able to really value and understand the needs, not only of the end beneficiaries in the case of Compassion and World Vision would be the children in the communities around them, but also the various stakeholders, both near and far from the beneficiaries.  And I found that particularly interesting and motivating. [00:13:22] Tommy Thomas:  What was your greatest adjustment in coming from Visa to Compassion? [00:13:30] Alberto Huerta: Oh boy!  A common understanding is that for a believer's first move into a Christian nonprofit, whether you like it or not you just imagine that you're stepping into heaven, right? A little piece of heaven. It's all believers. We're all following the same God. We're all following the same biblical principles.  It must be heaven there. You might not say that overtly, but you expect it, and you have a very high bar and imagination and then slowly, but surely you realize, hey, there's people like me in this organization. So, there's a bit of a high. As you first step into an organization like this, and then there's a realization that we're all a work in progress as individuals, as couples, as families, and as organizations as churches. So that's definitely one of the key important realizations walking into Compassion. More broadly I would say it is true both of Compassion and World Vision that these are longstanding, mature organizations working within mature sectors, certainly from a product or fundraising perspective. [00:14:39] Alberto Huerta: And what I particularly relish was, the intrapreneurship that that I was able to push into the opportunity to identify ways that the organization could change and grow and being able to help the organization embrace change from within, which, in my view, is particularly meaningful because it then leverages the strengths of the organization and it's able to operate and grow in a way that is relevant. And it continues to stay fresh and both for the supporters as well as for the beneficiaries. [00:15:13] Tommy Thomas: In terms of a leadership role, how do you assess what's right for you? [00:15:22] Alberto Huerta: And the way I'm understanding your question, Tommy, is how do I assess what's right as I think about leadership roles that I'm evaluating for myself? Is that the essence of your question? [00:15:31] Tommy Thomas: What makes a good fit for Alberto? I want to work for an inspirational leader – a true visionary. [00:15:35] Alberto Huerta: I have several criteria. There's one that I added. Or I would say I moved up the list in recent weeks is working for an inspirational leader, a true visionary. [00:15:49] Alberto Huerta: I think that's something that's particularly motivating for me right now. I feel if the energy and the big idea is coming from the very top that can really spell tremendous progress and success and accomplishment. So that's one that's really important for me. [00:16:05] Alberto Huerta: The other one I would say it's certainly culture.  A culture of understanding what the mission is and being able to be focused on accomplishing the mission. Being able to for there to be a sense within the organization that we can pour ourselves into the mission and the organization will take care of us as individuals. [00:16:26] Alberto Huerta: That's a little bit idealistic potentially, but I saw that even at P&G and certainly at Compassionate and World Vision. So, I value culture and that selflessness to pour oneself into the mission as another key criteria. And if I were to pick a third one, I would say learning a learning organization, one that does not rest on their laurels. [00:16:48] Alberto Huerta: One that is continuously finding ways to experiment. It can be so tempting to be hand to mouth, like in the performance engine, just producing, and it can suck the life out of experimentation and innovation and just even being able to bring one's full skillset into the job. I want to work for a learning organization - one that doesn't sit on its laurels. [00:17:08] Alberto Huerta: So that'll be a third one, but it's great question, Tommy. And I think it's a learning journey, isn't it? What is the best fit for us? Depending on the season as well. +++++++++++++++ [00:17:17] Tommy Thomas: At what point in your career did you get comfortable in your leadership skin? Did you accept the fact that God had given you certain leadership abilities and it was your responsibility to steward those? [00:17:34] Alberto Huerta: Wow, that's a great question. I gravitated to leadership because I'm driven. I tend to be more of a futurist. So I see where we might be headed. I like to see the big picture and integrate the various pieces as far as getting comfortable with it. I think that came fairly naturally. I think over time. And it doesn't happen immediately, does it? Just realizing that the biggest job of a leader is, in fact, developing leaders. And it wasn't until the jobs started to get large enough that I just had no choice. As an example, my last job at Compassion comes to mind where I had anywhere between eight and 10 direct reports leading particular marketing disciplines. [00:18:21] Alberto Huerta: It became so natural for me to be able to really focus on developing leaders because there was no way that I could be investing myself into that many different disciplines but rather really investing myself in my team, investing myself in my leaders and being able to carve a path for the whole. So, I would say that the various roles invite new levels of leadership for each of us. And that's certainly been an exciting part of the journey for me. [00:18:50] Tommy Thomas:  Let's go to change and innovation for a minute. I read a recent Harvard Business Review Survey that said 37 percent of companies had energy for change but lacked focus. 20 percent were skeptical of change because of past failures. 24 percent were stuck because of a lack of energy and direction, and 19 percent were struggling to change. If anything is certain, it is that change is certain. The world we're planning for today will not exist in this form tomorrow. (Phillip Crosby) [00:19:15] Tommy Thomas: Phillip Crosby said, if anything is certain, it is that change is certain. The world we're planning for today will not exist in this form tomorrow. Talk a little bit about how you've led organizations through change and what that's looked like. Organizational change is easy when there is no choice – not so much so when the need for change is not obvious. [00:19:34] Alberto Huerta: When change is unavoidable it's so much easier, isn't it? I remember working on the P&G laundry portfolio. There was an economic crisis at the time. There were 2 or 3 competitors, both on the private label side, as well as value detergents that were eating our lunch in certain channels. And so, change was inevitable at that point. And so, it became really clear. The energy was there. The expectation was there. We created awesome solutions. It was still really hard to create the right solution to fit the bill. But the need for change, I think, was felt. And that led to P&G really embracing the full scope potential of Tide as a mega brand playing across various categories and subcategories, but also and mostly the importance of the detergent laundry portfolio for P&G and being able to develop the various brands to be able to compete effectively in the marketplace. [00:20:35] Alberto Huerta: However, when change is not obvious I think it is that much more rewarding when we can make it happen, but also that much harder because our organization will resist change that doesn't feel eminently needed because it's working and it's profitable and the momentum is there. [00:20:57] Alberto Huerta: And it can lead organizations in my experience to a sales and fundraising mindset that starts to put to the side where the product should be going, where the brand should be going, where the marketing strategy should be going and it can start to, to let a problem continue to fester and ultimately become a problem that that, as we know, has buried organizations. So, I feel that being able to clarify the case for change and build really strong unity around that case for change. I'm a big proponent of Cotter's eight steps to really seeing change through. I think those are so wise and so true, particularly when change is not obvious or well accepted. [00:21:49] Tommy Thomas: Last year, Bed Bath & Beyond filed for bankruptcy and later will be purchased by Overstock. One writer attributes their financial woes to their failure to innovate. Is there a lesson there for the nonprofit sector? [00:22:05] Alberto Huerta: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. There's certain mechanisms and approaches that work and we tend to get enamored by them. And we all know the most visible examples of disruption of sectors and those are real and those are accelerating. And so, I think it's particularly important for organizations that are starting to get stale or starting to experience a certain comfort level to be clear on what is truly foundational of the organization and what is going to be a consistent truth that they can live into. [00:22:45] Alberto Huerta: And what are things that do need to be revisited and sometimes broken and rebuilt? It reminds me of Jeff Bezos talking about Amazon and saying there are a few things that are not going to change, and we can bank on those people who are going to want more assortment. People are going to want to lower the price. People are going to want to get it fast. Now, everything else can change, but let's anchor on those key pieces. I think particularly mature nonprofits that that have some strong foundational pieces that you should continue to push into should be very clear on what those are, and then start to innovate and differentiate and break down walls and barriers where they should be broken. [00:23:27] Alberto Huerta: One of the common products across both Compassion and World Vision is the child sponsorship product. Such a beautiful product and so relevant to today. I think about subscription. So that is obviously a problem. We all have way too many subscriptions and we need apps to be able to manage our subscriptions. And it's also a very relevant product because of the connection to a local team who's working locally, who's committed to that particular community. There are so many aspects of sponsorship that are so powerful. And yet it's been difficult for the sector to innovate at the rate that it could have. [00:24:09] Alberto Huerta: It is encouraging though, to see organizations with both Compassion and World Vision, I would say really pushing into ways of bringing truth from supporters into the building and being able to work through those. World Vision's chosen sponsorship, I think, is a really great example of that one where there's a real empowerment of the child, the real listening to the supporter on the kinds of things that would be more motivating and make their connection to the child in, in a property context, more real and more meaningful to them. It is not easy for organizations to innovate in such ways. It takes true commitment, and it can be very heavy lifting, but it's worth it. +++++++++++++++ [00:24:55] Tommy Thomas: Let's go to something maybe a little bit lighter. If you were a judge on a nonprofit version of Shark Tank, what are the questions you would have to have solid answers to before you would open your pocketbook? [00:25:08] Alberto Huerta: That's an easy one because I've been thinking about that in this season and that is would you invest your own money into that nonprofit and why I found that it is so interesting to think about the big shift that we've seen over the decades and years where it used to be that one would give to an organization purely because of their beliefs, their values, their trust in the organization. They think like me. They value what I value. I'll put my money in their pockets. That's not today's world. I think donors are very sophisticated, increasingly sophisticated. We are very visible about the organization. And so, it is so important that we, particularly in the marketing and fundraising departments, are completely soaked in all things program. [00:25:58] Alberto Huerta: We need to not be the flashy, smart, cool marketers only, we really need to be the representatives of amazing work that's happening in the field with our beneficiaries. And that we're able to represent that we know why it's believable. We know why it works. And one of the ways that I think is particularly powerful is we know what needs to get better even in our program. And that is what donors I believe are looking for these days is transparency. To be able to know that it is not perfect. It is well built. It is yielding results. And it is improving just like we would expect for profit to be improving. [00:26:44] Tommy Thomas: Let me get you to respond to two quotes from Steve Jobs. You can have a great product, but if communication fails, it's like watching a stand-up comedian do a gig in a completely different language (Steve Jobs) [00:26:59] Alberto Huerta: That is so true, isn't it? The picture that comes to mind is the front of the TV and the back of the TV for anybody to or, in a more modern way, would be our beloved iPhone, right? It's one thing to experience the iPhone. It is simple. You pinch your fingers, you drag your fingers, you click that's what the person cares about. [00:27:21] Alberto Huerta: What we care about is both sides, right? The back of the iPhone and the insides of the iPhone and we fall in love with it. We love to delve into the complexities of it, but if we're not able to present it in a way that is relevant to who the user is be it in communication, be it in, from a UI perspective then we will fail. [00:27:43] Alberto Huerta: And it's certainly something that Steve jobs modeled for all of us with his products. [00:27:49] Tommy Thomas: His second quote. It's a complicated and noisy world, and we're not going to get a chance to get people to remember much about us. No company is. So, we have to be really clear about what we want them to know about us. (Steve Jobs) [00:28:09] Alberto Huerta: It's a powerful one, isn't it? And he went on to talk about values and that led to communication from Apple, such as the very famous think different campaign with Gandhi and Einstein and Charles Chaplin and all these geniuses who are crazy enough to think they could change the world. [00:28:27] Alberto Huerta: And so, they were the ones who did. And so, I think he walked that really well. I think it is so important for organizations to know who they are and also to know who they're becoming for whom, right? Who they are becoming, how, what value they bring and how that really is in some ways the way to materialize their values, right? [00:28:51] Alberto Huerta: It's the way to materialize their values. And I think organizations like Compassion and World Vision are ones that understand their essence very well, and they're able to bring it across in ways that truly connect. We see Jesus, for example.About a dozen times in the New Testament being moved with compassion, right? [00:29:11] Alberto Huerta: He saw something and he was moved with compassion in such a way that he was going to bring such strength and love and really throw themselves at whatever that need was because their heart had been moved with compassion and I think that's such a beautiful essence of Compassion and why it's so easy for people to feel such a connection to it similar with World Vision. [00:29:35] Alberto Huerta: We think about seeing the world differently and seeing our ability to reach beyond our own walls and see the world differently. The need around the world and being able to work as a whole for those that are in most need for those that are hardest to reach. So, I think being able to be clear on one's essence is really critical to be able to be successful in an environment that is so noisy, as you said. [00:30:02] Tommy Thomas: Let's try to bring this thing to a close. I have two questions that I often ask at the end. And the first one would be, if you could get a do over in life, what would it be? [00:30:15] Alberto Huerta: Oh boy, that's a big one. If I were to get a do over in life, I would have more consistently put family above my professional life. [00:30:17] Alberto Huerta: If I were to get a do over in life, I would have more consistently put family above my professional life. And the way that it would have played out, there's deeper, more day-to-day ways, but one very simple one is following the very best job to whatever country or city it happened to be placed in. [00:30:39] Alberto Huerta: So that's one way that I would say a disproportionate commitment to my professional growth ended up not being the best choice when it came to prioritizing family. I think on a day-to-day basis, we can also suffer from long days or lots of travel and my do over would really center around being able to still strive for excellence, strive for impact, but to more consistently be able to do that both in my marriage and with my kids and in my community, as well as professionally. [00:31:14] Alberto Huerta: God has been graceful. And 27 years later I'm so glad to have such a wonderful wife and family that I can enjoy every day and be able to take action on that learning as I look to the future. [00:31:29] Tommy Thomas: If you could give a younger version of yourself a piece of advice, what would it be? [00:31:39] Alberto Huerta: It's not about you. God says that we are to die to ourselves and be able to live for him. And I think that is really at the core of a lot of our issues, whether it's looking disproportionately for ourselves, whether it's making happiness and comfort the overarching search for our lives. And we all know, especially those that are past their twenties, Tommy, like you and I, that there are tough circumstances in life. And one can't control or make life the walk in the park that we would want it to be, or the peak after peak adventure that we want it to be. [00:32:24] Alberto Huerta: And so being able to make it about God, about Him and about His glory and about how our lives can be a reflection of the love that He's shown us and the grace that He's shown us. That'll be my biggest piece of advice. [00:32:40] Tommy Thomas: Thank you for joining us today. If you are a first-time listener, I hope you will subscribe and become a regular.

This episode is Brought to you by Four Sigmatic. Give yourself permission this year, proactively spend more time with the people that you care about, and again, this could be a date night, this could be, family get togethers, this could be, getting together with a friend to exercise or go for a walk, this could be scheduling lunch or dinners together, this could be making time for a cup of coffee, whatever the case might be. Whatever the case might be. And a little funny story, and I've never shared this before, I've never gotten a cup of coffee with someone, like out there in the streets, there are all these cool coffee shops. I've never done it. I've never done it. Alright, I just haven't. I didn't even drink coffee most of my adulthood, and this was until a few years ago when my wife, I was utilizing these dual extracted medicinal mushrooms from Four Sigmatic in making teas, but they were sending coffee as well, and my wife was just like... It was... She loved it. It was just her highlight of her morning, and I was just like, what is it? Because the last time I had tasted coffee, I was a kid, and I was with my grandmother and I'm wondering, why is this lady always drinking this? Whatever this is, and I drank it, I took a sip and I was like, I literally... The thought that crossed my mind when I sipped that coffee when I was probably seven years old, is that something is wrong with my grandmother. There's something wrong with her. How in the world can she drink this stuff? And that was that, and I even actually bought her for Christmas a little container of her favorite coffee, which was Folgers, is what she was using. The best part of waking up. And she actually, and this was... Again, I was like seven or eight, and when I was maybe in my late 20s, I went to my grandmother's house. And that Folgers gift that I had bought her that had a bow on top was in her cabinet still, she had kept it all those years. And so there was this beautiful affinity with this, but I was just like, I'm never drinking this stuff again. And so once I tried the coffee and had it the way that I was preparing it for my wife, like blending some high quality fats into it and things like that. It was like, oh, I get it. This is pretty awesome. But for me, I haven't gone and gotten coffee with anyone, I have gotten some tea, I have had some tea, like back in the day if somebody would wanna get coffee, I'd get some tea. But now it's because I'm kind of spoiled. I have the most incredible coffee in the world that I get from these people that I truly trust, because the coffee industry is crazy right now. All these different microplastics and toxic molds and pesticides and all the stuff that people are just consuming every single day. And many of these chemicals are in a category known as obesogens, these are obesity-causing agents that alter our metabolic health and also carcinogens, these are cancer-causing agents, and so Four Sigmatic is all organic, the most incredible coffee, all organic, but also it's blended with dual extracted medicinal mushrooms like lion's mane, and scientists at the University of Malaya discovered that compounds in lion's mane are able to significantly improve the activity of nerve growth factor in the brain. Nerve growth factor is essential in the regulation of growth, maintenance, proliferation and the survival of various brain cells, it's pretty powerful stuff to say the least, and also there's several studies indicating its role in helping to reduce issues related to mental health, things like anxiety and excessive stress, the lion's mane is really remarkable. And that's what I actually had today, the Four Sigmatic ground coffee lion's mane blend with Chaga as well, and Chaga is a powerful, powerful antioxidant and mountains of studies affirming its benefits with the immune system. So this is what I make for myself and my wife every morning, and I highly encourage you to check them out, go to foursigmatic.com/model. That's foursigmatic.com/model, and you're going to get 10% off all of their incredible coffee blends, if you're not into coffee like I used to be, they also have incredible elixirs or tea they're in a tea version basically, with these incredible science-backed long storied medicinal mushrooms as well, and they also have a great hot cocoa, a reishi hot cocoa that my son loves, my youngest son, Braden really loves, that reishi hot cocoa. So many great things, you get 10% off store wide, also you get access to some free shipping opportunities and stuff like that, so they're amazing. Really, really amazing. Been a big part of my family's lives for many years foursigmatic.com/model This episode is brought to you by Organifi. I'm imploring us to make it a mandate this year. This is the year to have some more home-cooked meals focus on a system for some food prep, making some delicious meals, spending a little bit of time in the kitchen, or having your family find a strategy for that so that you can have healthier ingredients and also ingredients that are not riddled with these toxic oils. And I'm a big fan of helping to create a fun kitchen culture and family culture around food and around the dinner table. And that was really the inspiration behind my latest book, The Eat Smarter Family Cookbook, which I am incredibly honored to say is a USA Today national bestseller. And it was a number one cookbook in the United States, number one new release cookbook in the United States when it came out. That is crazy pants, all right? But a book like that could not do what it did without being focused on deliciousness. Yes, we've got all the science there. As a matter of fact, the science that we just shared on those vegetable oils is in the Eat Smarter Family Cookbook. There's over 250 peer-reviewed scientific references embedded into the book in a fun and beautiful way. But also when it boils down to it, it's really about the delicious recipes. There's a hundred incredible recipes and something for everyone, absolutely. But listen, from what I'm seeing, this book is making its way into people's kitchens and it's just staying there, all right. So we're seeing pictures all over the place of people getting the Eat Smarter Family Cookbook and it just becomes a staple in their kitchen. There's so many delicious things to make from that book. And right now, you can actually get your hands on the Eat Smarter Family Cookbook as a free gift with the New Year, New You Superfood Bundle from Organifi. The Superfood Bundle has three components. One focuses on energy, the other focuses on recovery, and the other focuses on a radiant appearance, which includes healthy skin. For energy, you get the Organic Red Juice Superfood Blend. In addition to this berry blend, which includes blueberries that have been found to directly target fat cells, and this is according to researchers at the University of Michigan, one of their other ingredients used in the Red Juice Blend is beets. And a study published in the journal Applied Physiology showed that beet juice boosts stamina up to 16% during exercise and training. So the Red Juice Blend is all about energy and kids love it as well. It's one of my family favorites for sure, and it's been a huge upgrade to the Kool-Aid paradigm that I grew up in, and I know that you probably grew up in as well. Kool-Aid and their Flavor-Aid. Kool-Aid is already cheap, but if you didn't even have Kool-Aid money, we got Flavor-Aid. And now, in addition to that, so we've got the Red Juice Blend in this incredible bundle for this new year, but we've also got the Gold Blend. And the Gold Blend is centered around the power of turmeric, and it's an incredible turmeric latte. And in particular, a study that was published in the European Journal of Nutrition uncovered that compounds in turmeric can down-regulate inflammatory cytokines and up-regulate the activity of adiponectin and other satiety-related hormones. And turmeric has been well-established to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce blood fats, and directly act upon fat cells. And in addition to this organic turmeric blend, there's also things like Reishi Medicinal Mushroom and cinnamon and other incredible ingredients that have been documented through peer-reviewed studies to improve our sleep quality and improve cognitive function and recovery. And finally, in this amazing bundle, for a radiant appearance, in particular for healthy skin, and it's derived from the very best and most bioavailable sources there really isn't any collagen better in the world than Organifi's Collagen. Now, a study published in the journal Dermatology Practical and Conceptual titled Collagen Supplements for Aging and Wrinkles: A Paradigm Shift in the Fields of Dermatology and Cosmetics. This was just published in 2022, affirming collagen does in fact work at preventing and reducing the signs of aging of our skin. Improving the elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and there's this huge component that often isn't given a name, but we talk about the glow of the skin and this kind of radiant appearance of the skin. Collagen is critical in that. And so you get all three of these incredible superfood blends, Organifi's Red Juice blend, their Gold blend, and their Collagen blend, you get all of these together for 15% off, plus they're going to give you a free physical copy they're gonna send to you of the Eat Smarter Family Cookbook, the USA Today National Best-Selling Book for free.

Jack actually first announced this project to the world through the Ouija board during a special episode where we had a Ouija session with Karen. 10:29 “[Jack] started the book when he was very much alive, in physical form, and then he finished it in Spirit.” Karen explains how channeling can happen over the Ouija board, and how the book came about. 13:05 “Little people and big people.” Jack wanted this book to be for children and adults. 16:40 The beautiful illustrations in the book are by Maaz Farzaan. 16:40 “The book is about unconditional love between our animal friends (specifically in this case, cats, the felines) and human beings.” 17:47 The book was channeled on and off the board, including from a dream! 18:20 Patrick asks, “Does it work the same way with dogs?” 19:58 Animals rescue US! “It's almost like they become a master teacher for you.” 21:05 Different animals or pets teach completely different lessons. 23:10 Karen's first animal communication through the board happened in 1996, with assistance from one of Karen's guides, Mary Angel. 25:15 Where you can find When Cats Had Wings.

It's yourself.” Clearing up misinformation and the negative stigma about the Ouija board. 57:30 Using the Ouija board is no different than an EVP session, using a KII meter, or a Spirit Box! 1:05:20 Use the tools that resonates with you and your strengths!
