Podcasts about Good People

People are one of the hardest parts of a practice. Even with careful hiring and a great culture, you'll still deal with turnover, performance issues, and the occasional wrong fit.  In this episode, I sit down with Amy Anderson of ACG Practice Partners to talk about when people problems are actually process problems. We cover retention, compensation, hiring, transparency, and the operational leaks that get more expensive as you grow. Make It Easier for Good People to Stay  You can't guarantee every great provider will stay, but you can make sure they understand their role, how they're evaluated, and how compensation works. Clear job descriptions, check-ins, and transparency around gross margin and pay can prevent confusion.  Before You Blame the Person, Look at the Process  If a different person stepped into the role tomorrow, would the same problem still happen? If yes, look at the system before replacing the person.  Before you hire again, review:  Job descriptions and onboarding  KPIs and compensation plans  Lead handoffs and manual work  Hiring criteria  Small inefficiencies add up fast as the team grows.  (00:05:48) Retaining good providers (00:25:56) Diagnosing people versus process problems (00:35:33) Improving hiring decisions (00:40:08) Finding workflow inefficiencies and revenue leaks (00:44:29) Building accountability into operations  Share the Numbers Your Team Can Actually Influence  You don't need to hand everyone your entire P&L. Give your team the metrics tied to their work, like gross margin, booking rates, follow-up, or conversion. Then performance conversations have something concrete to work from. Small Operational Problems Get Bigger With Growth  A small inefficiency can become wasted payroll, missed revenue, and unnecessary headcount as the practice expands. Start with what's costing the most time or money. Stronger systems help good employees work without the owner constantly stepping in, leading to better accountability, healthier margins, and less stress.

I'm very excited to share this episode, it is an interview with the author Hannah Kent. Hannah wrote the amazing novel The Good People which is a fictional account of a very real story that took places in the early 19th century. A story very similar to that of Bridget Cleary.Hannah took a very rigorous approach to her work and so I wanted to chat to her about her research and what she learned.You can pick up the book and learn more about it here:https://thebookshop.ie/kent-hannah-the-good-people-hardback/ Hosted on Acast.

Send us a message!My guest today is Srikanth Seshadri.Sri is a returning guest, previously on episode 169 in 2022.Today, Sri and I discuss the book, What to Make of a Life, by Jim Collins.  Sri is an executive coach who helps CEOs scale their companies and accelerate performance.When Sri and I talked about doing another podcast together, he sent me a link to this book, suggesting we both read it and talk about it for the podcast.  What to Make of a Life is an exploration through the study of a dozen or so people: writers, actors, scientists, leaders and others, asking the questions, How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the significant events that can radically change a life? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late? Inspired by relentless curiosity, Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analyzing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog.I'm so grateful you shared this book with me, Sri, and that we had this conversation.  It has given me new perspectives on twists and turns my life has taken, new ideas for continuing to shape my life and choices for living in meaningful and purpose-filled ways, and inspiration to keep taking one step at a time into areas of exploration and unknown.In our conversation, Sri mentions a number of other books and resources.  You'll find links to all those in the show notes as well as ways to learn more about Sri and the work he does in the world.Resource Links:Connect with Sri: https://agilegrowthpartners.com/a1/What to Make of a Life by Jim CollinsMindset by Carol DweckThe Right Kind of Wrong by Amy EdmondsonAdaptive Leadership by Ron Heifetz Why Bad Things Happen to Good People by Harold KushnerMovie: Just Mercy (About Bryan Stevenson and his justice work)Jim Collins interviewed by Oprah Keep an eye out for Sri's book on Leadership Agility coming in 2027!Support the showMake Life Less Difficult~   Support:buymeacoffee.com/lisatilstra

How Do Good People Slowly Lose Their Way? is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.

Why do reasonable people disagree so strongly about right and wrong? And why are we so quick to assume that people on the other side of a moral or political issue are irrational, selfish, ignorant, or simply bad? Michael Shermer speaks with Cornell psychologist Audun Dahl, author of Between Fixed and Fickle: Why Our Moral Views Keep Changing, about how human morality develops and why many familiar explanations fall short. They discuss whether babies are born with a moral sense, what children and other primates can really tell us about the origins of morality, how parents shape their children's values, classic experiments in moral psychology, and whether science can tell us what is right and wrong. The conversation also turns to abortion, competing rights, immigration, religion, and the growing tendency to misunderstand and demonize people who reach different moral conclusions. Audun Dahl is a professor of psychology at Cornell University, where he directs the Developmental Moral Psychology Lab. His research examines how people develop ideas about right and wrong across the lifespan, from infancy through adulthood, and how moral judgments are shaped by everyday social interactions. He is the author of Between Fixed and Fickle: Why Our Moral Views Keep Changing.

In “The Gift of Lament (Part 2),” Pastor Leonard Davis continues our Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People? series by showing how lament shifts our focus from the weight of our circumstances to the character and presence of Jesus. As we behold Him in the middle of suffering, God gives us a new perspective, meets us with His companionship, and helps us discover that our greatest need isn't always a change in our circumstances, it's more of Him. Go deeper: Use this week's Sermon Reflection Guide to continue practicing lament, reflect on where God may be comforting, correcting, strengthening, or redeeming, and consider how He is growing your dependence on Him.   Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People Week 5- The Gift Of Lament (Part 2) Sermon Reflection Guide

Steven Anderson joins David Phelps to challenge the "no one wants to work anymore" narrative, revealing why staffing struggles aren't a generational problem — they're a culture problem.

In this week's episode, Phil EuBank sits down with Matt Summers to dive into Sunday's message on irreligion, agnosticism, and the widespread assumption that "good people are fine." They explore the cultural default of the Bay Area, where many people don't claim a formal religion but instead live out a form of secular humanism or moralistic therapeutic deism, hoping their good intentions and decent behavior will ultimately be enough. Phil shares a deeply moving story about pastoring through tragic loss and contrasts the world's transactional thinking with Jesus's encounter with the rich young ruler in Mark 10. Together, Phil and Matt discuss why Jesus desires our hearts rather than our moral resumes, exposing how easily even church culture can drift into busyness and performance over genuine relationship.

Our Daily Scripture Readings and Reflection: Why does God allow suffering, loss, persecution, and hardship in the lives of good people? In this Scripture reflection, Frank Pavone turns to Romans 8 and explains that no trial can separate us from the love of God. Although suffering is never easy, God can use it to free us from unhealthy attachments, deepen our dependence on Him, reset our priorities, and lead us toward holiness. We may lose possessions, relationships, reputation, health, or positions—but we do not lose Christ unless we reject Him. In every hardship, God remains our refuge, our foundation, and our source of peace. God permits trials not because He has abandoned us, but because He wants to draw us closer and make us saints. “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life… nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” — Romans 8:38–39

In week four of Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?, Pastor Leonard Davis begins part one of “The Gift of Lament” by exploring how we can honestly bring our pain, grief, and unanswered questions to God without losing hope. Discover the four movements of biblical lament-turn, complain, ask, and trust-and learn how God's unchanging character and Jesus' understanding of suffering give us confidence to approach Him. Use the Sermon Reflection Guide to practice writing your own prayer of lament and go deeper into the message.   Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People Week 4: The Gift Of Lament Sermon Reflection Guide

Culture tells us to just be a good person. In this message, Lead Pastor Phil EuBank addresses the most popular "religion" today—the belief that as long as we're better than the person next door, we're fine. When faith becomes a matter of moral comparison, we realize "good" is a moving target. Looking at Matthew 7, we see why "good works" are no substitute for a relationship with Jesus. Christianity isn't about bad people becoming good, but about dead people coming to life—and Jesus doesn't just want your "goodness"; He wants your heart.

It was preached by Pastor James Walsh at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mission Covenant Church⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on August 2, 2026.

Every person eventually asks: "Why is this happening?" Together, we'll explore how suffering affects the mind and soul, what the Scriptures and Church Fathers teach about hardship, and how we can find God's presence, purpose, and hope even in our darkest seasons.

They illustrate this with an example from a favorite weekend restaurant, noting how new employees start with high standards but eventually conform to the environment.

How could someone come home, tell you they love you, laugh with you, make plans for the future, and still hide an affair? That contradiction is one of the most disturbing parts of infidelity. It can leave you questioning whether the loving moments were real, whether your partner was secretly a completely different person, and whether your entire relationship was some kind of carefully constructed illusion. In this episode, I explain how compartmentalization allows someone to separate their marriage, affair, values, and self-image into different mental categories. We will look at how partial truths, selective attention, and self-protective stories can help someone continue seeing themselves as a good person while repeatedly making choices that violate their own stated values. I also explain why describing an affair as “one mistake” can hide the many smaller decisions that made it possible, what genuine accountability actually requires, and why betrayed partners should look for more than affection or transparency when deciding whether someone is becoming trustworthy. If you are struggling to make sense of what happened, stop replaying the contradictions, or feel safe in your own judgment again, you can book a free call with me.

In this episode of The Business of Alignment, AJ Vaughan explores one of the most overlooked drivers of employee retention, productivity, and operational performance: caregiving benefits.From retail and healthcare to manufacturing, hospitality, education, and logistics, millions of frontline employees face impossible choices between showing up for work and caring for the people who depend on them. When organizations fail to support these realities, the costs extend far beyond absenteeism—they impact turnover, recruiting, staffing, customer experience, and profitability.AJ shares why he believes leaders should stop viewing caregiving benefits as an expense and start measuring them as a strategic investment. He also discusses why he's excited to partner with Good People and The Nanny Network to research the measurable business impact of caregiving support.In this episode:Why caregiving benefits deserve CFO-level attentionThe true cost of absenteeism and turnoverHow frontline industries are uniquely impactedWhy empathy and business performance can coexistThe research behind building a stronger business through employee supportIf your organization is serious about retention, workforce stability, and creating a better employee experience, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.

Ireland takes Faeries seriously. Don't believe me? Take a drive down one of its largest highways, and you'll notice the road diverting around a certain tree favored by the Fair Folk. While we often refer to stories as “just fairy tales,” Irish culture knows that they should not be so easily dismissed, as they demonstrate our relationship to the world beyond the ordinary.The close to our Ireland series explores Faeries (Fairies, Sidhe, Aos Sí, Good People) in Irish folklore. History, mythology, folktales, and stories of personal experience paint a picture of the liminal world outside our grasp.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mythosandlogos00:00 Introduction00:20 Spirit of the Night by John Atkinson Grimshaw00:35 Hawthorn at Wall, Lichfield, from the Lines Family Sketchbook01:06 Female Dancer in Fairy Ocnstume by Sergey Chekhonin01:19 The Fair Folk01:37 Leprechauns at Blarney Castle, photographed by CEllen, licensed under Creative Commons01:45 Illustration from Celtic Fairy Tales by John Dickson Batten01:51 Iris by John Atkinson Grimshaw02:24 The Banshee Appears by R Prowse02:35 La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Henry Meynell Rheam02:40 Riders of the Sidhe by John Duncan03:39 The Garden of Paradise, Fairy of the Garden by Edmund Dulac03:58 Spirited Away04:07 At That Moment She Was Changed by Magic to a Wonderful Little Fairy by John Bauer04:54 Illustration from Myths and Legends; The Celtic Race by Stephen Reid05:11 The Stolen Child by George William Russell05:31The Stolen Child by William Butler Yeats05:44 The Sleeping Princess by John Duncan06:53 Crossing The Sea08:22 Dullahan, the Headless Horseman, by William Henry Brooke09:08 Conclusion: The Liminal World09:32 Illustration from Irish Fairy Tales by Arthur Rackham09:53 Puck and the Fairies by R DaddAll works of art are public domain unless stated otherwise.

The old gods of Ireland never really died — they went under the hills, and people learned not to say their name. We follow the Tuatha Dé into folklore, where they become the fairies, the Sídhe, the Good People — and take the first step towards the changeling and the 1895 killing of Bridget Cleary.The episode cover image is a hawthorn tree, famously associated with fairies in Ireland.

Letting someone go when they are a genuinely good person can mess with you more than you expect. They show up with a great attitude, the team likes them, and you want so badly for it to work out. But when their performance keeps falling short, you're left carrying the weight of a decision that feels personal, painful, and impossible to get right. In this Q&A Wednesday episode, Omar tackles a question sent in by Sharon, who's dealing with the tough reality of having to let go of someone she likes who just is not right for the role. Omar digs into why this situation is so hard for leaders, what makes it emotionally complicated, and how to know when keeping someone on is doing more harm than good. You'll hear what it really takes to handle this kind of decision in a way that respects the person while also protecting the business. If you've been dreading this kind of call or questioning how to handle a tough goodbye the right way, this episode will give you the clarity you need.

In Episode 228, Sarah, Catherine (@GilmoreGuide), and Chrissie (@ChrissieWhitley) take stock of the reading year so far, discussing the books, publishing trends, and industry chatter that have defined the first half of 2026. They dive into the biggest publishing stories of the year, the rise of "cozy everything," the continued influence of self-publishing and book-to-screen success stories, and whether it's possible to tap a Book of the Year before the second half of the publishing calendar arrives. Then, they share their Top 5 Books of 2026 So Far and a few disappointing reads that didn't quite live up to expectations.
