Throughout the year, we sat down with leaders, coaches, and experts who challenged how we approach work, leadership, money, mental health, and personal growth.In this recap, we revisit the themes that mattered most. The ones that didn't just sound good in the moment, but stuck with us long after the recording stopped.In this episode, we explore:Why clarity, energy, courage, productivity, and influence are foundational to real growthWhat authentic allyship looks like in the workplace and how small actions create meaningful changeThe real risks behind cybersecurity complacency and why information security is a business issue, not just a tech oneHow passion is often discovered through opportunity, not something you need to have figured out from day oneWhy youth mental health conversations matter and how showing up authentically makes a differenceHow subconscious patterns can impact confidence, decision making, and job searchesA fresh perspective on money and what it means to shift from a consumer mindset to a banker mindsetThis episode is a reminder that growth is rarely linear.

In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, host Maurice Harker continues the Eternal Warriors 4.0 series by teaching how to intentionally design the “presidential cabinet” in your mind—instead of letting fear, shame, and Satan's lobbyists run the show.Maurice explores how many Latter-day Saints live with anxiety, depression, spiritual stagnation, or quiet mediocrity, not because they're weak, but because they've never been taught how to recognize and organize the voices in their own head. He introduces the idea of a spiritual “cabinet” made up of the historian, statistician, hope, charity, fear, the divine apprentice, and the lobbyist, and shows how to put faith, hope, and charity back in the lead with Christ as the true source of guidance.You'll learn:How Satan uses isolation and the lie, “You're the only one like this,” to shut down your growthWhat it looks like to run a daily “cabinet meeting” in your brain with the Savior presidingHow to recognize when the “lobbyist” voice (fear, shame, panic, urgency) is hijacking your thoughtsSimple ways to use DAR/DPAR (Discover–Plan–Act–Reflect) with a partner or teammate to create progressWhy teaming up (fireside-style check-ins) is a spiritual weapon against discouragement and driftHow “beginning with the end in mind” leads to miracle-level passion projects where you seek and expect to be part of God's workIf you're an LDS disciple, spouse, or parent who feels stuck in your head, overwhelmed by self-improvement, or alone in your battles, this episode will help you name what's going on inside, fight isolation, and move toward a life where you can honestly say: “I have used my gifts and talents to be part of miracles.”

When pipeline starts slipping and targets go up, most revenue leaders do the same thing: they panic. They launch new experiments, adopt the latest AI tools, and try to do more, faster, harder. But what if that's exactly what's keeping you stuck?This episode is part of a 5-part series exploring the journey B2B revenue leaders take from reactive chaos to understanding and measuring their full revenue factory, and transforming their careers in the process. Each stage represents a critical transformation moment that separates leaders who consistently hit their targets and drive real results from those who scramble every quarter wondering why nothing's working.This episode explores Stage 1: The Panic Response, and it represents the first stage in revenue transformation. You're likely in Stage 1 if you're asking questions like, "What experiments should I try next?", "What are other companies doing that I should copy?", or "What AI tool is going to save my pipeline?".What We Cover in This Episode:Why the question "What experiments should I try next?" is fundamentally wrongHow to recognize if you're trapped in The Panic ResponseThe uncomfortable truth about why transformation only happens outside your comfort zoneWhat it actually takes to move from reactive scrambling to strategic confidenceWhy adding more tactics to a broken foundation only creates more noise in an already chaotic systemThe real reason you can't measure the impact of your investments, and what that means for your ability to drive growthWhat fundamental questions you're NOT asking because you don't have the data model to answer themThe moment of decision that separates leaders who transform from leaders who stay stuckHow to stop copying what other companies are doing and start building what actually works for YOUR revenue factoryIf you've ever felt like you're working harder than ever but can't prove you're moving the needle, this episode is for you.—This episode is powered by Passetto. If you're tired of staring at dashboards that don't tell you what you need to know, you're not alone. Most revenue leaders are flying blind because of the Pipeline Black Box™, a critical data gap that keeps you from understanding what's actually driving results. Passetto transforms how you run your revenue engine, so you can finally see what's working, fix what's not, and scale with precision.Tired of guessing what's generating pipeline and what's draining your resources?
