Mark challenges traditional leadership models that rely on authority and hierarchy, emphasizing instead the power of authenticity, presence, and intentional connection.Drawing from his bestselling book, Mark outlines three essential leadership skills—listening intently, communicating intentionally, and recognizing individuals, that directly impact trust, performance, and engagement. The conversation also addresses why top-performing salespeople often struggle when promoted into leadership roles without people-skills training and why mentorship is critical for developing effective leaders. This episode offers practical, human-centered guidance for anyone looking to lead and sell from the heart.KEY TAKEAWAYSLeadership and sales success begin with human connection—not titles or authority.Lead and sell as a person first; positions don't build trust, people do.The three core leadership skills: listening intently, communicating intentionally, and recognizing individuals.Many leaders fail because they receive position training but not people-skills training.Being a great salesperson does not automatically translate into being a great leader.Recognition is just as important as correction, and often overlooked.Listening requires discipline and presence in a fast-thinking world.Mentorship accelerates leadership readiness and long-term effectiveness.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESWe do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training.People can speak at about 125 words per minute, listen at 400, and think at 900, presence is work.What's the best thing about your work? The people. What's the worst thing? The people.People are messy… and there's joy in the messiness too.

For only the second time since launching the Lead From The Heart podcast in 2018, Mark is opening a new season by speaking directly to you—without a guest. Eight years ago, Mark used the very first episode to introduce himself and his mission for the show. As this new season begins, he felt it was important to pause again, reflect, and—once more—clearly frame the context for what lies ahead. Over the past seven years, the podcast has featured more than 170 remarkable guests—CEOs, researchers, academics, and thinkers whose work helped shape and advance a leadership philosophy that was once considered unconventional. What began as a challenge to traditional management thinking has steadily become part of the mainstream conversation about leadership, performance, and culture. Today, many of Mark's ideas that once provoked debate—or even ridicule—are no longer contested. In this solo episode, Mark revisits why he created the podcast, what it set out to influence, and how the leadership landscape has changed since it began. As you'll hear, Season 8 marks an important inflection point. Mark introduces a new dimension he's adding to the show—one designed to keep the podcast vital and relevant while aligning it more closely with the moment leaders now find themselves in. Just before the new year, Mark published an article in Fast Company outlining why he believes employee well-being is poised to become a true business priority. In this episode, he expands on that thinking and explains how the podcast will support leaders navigating what comes next. The post Mark C. Crowley: The Future Of The Lead From The Heart Podcast appeared first on Mark C. Crowley.

Kelley offers practical guidance for sales leaders and professionals on maximizing effectiveness, improving qualification discipline, protecting time, and building trust-centered sales cultures that consistently perform.KEY TAKEAWAYSAuthentic, agenda-free selling builds stronger long-term trust with buyers.Revenue growth starts with people—empowered, aligned sellers drive results.Sales and marketing alignment must be demonstrated through shared action, not just words.Time is a seller's most limited asset and must be protected intentionally.Today's buyers are largely through their journey before engaging sellers—value must show up fast.Strong qualification and disqualification discipline improves win rates and efficiency.AI and technology should support effectiveness, not replace authentic human connection.Culture carriers often outperform quota chasers over the long term.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESSelling from the heart really comes down to leading with authenticity and not an agenda. It's about showing up as a human being first.The best sellers I've come across in my career weren't just quota crushers, but they were actually culture carriers.Your people at the end of the day are the ones who drive your results. I may be a chief revenue officer, but I'm not the one driving revenue.Taking the call is the worst thing you can do. You are wasting that person's time. The best thing you can do is let a seller know if it's not the right time.

The Five Heart Podcast opens with Greg in Southern Illinois and Minnie reporting in from Pinetop, Arizona, as the crew jokes about time zones, “mountain girls,” and a brutal cold front hitting the Midwest. The chat piles on with weather reports, and the hosts briefly spiral into a funny-but-bleak discussion about rain, wildfires, and the realities of winter. The big show news is that “Monday Night Therapy” is going on hiatus for the offseason, and Fred is joining the Five Heart Podcast as a regular panelist—turning the show into a new “tripod” dynamic. After some banter about streaming services replacing cable and costing just as much, the mood shifts: they're “wearing black” because Nebraska has lost special teams coordinator Mike Eckler, who is headed to USC. Minnie is especially furious and disappointed, arguing Eckler was a major reason special teams improved so fast. From there, the conversation expands into bigger concerns: staff turnover, Matt Rhule's culture and talent evaluation, portal strategy, and whether Nebraska is building a real identity or constantly rebuilding mid-flight. They compare Nebraska's instability to Indiana's sudden rise, debate NIL and “brand-first” athletes, and land on a familiar Five Heart thesis—Nebraska needs players and coaches who genuinely want to be there, buy in, and play for each other.

It affects a significant proportion of the population.  An epidemic is localized.  A pandemic refers to “all demographics.”   Tragically, Addiction impairs the addict's ability to see the impact of their addiction.  This impairment is called denial. It prevents the addict from seeing clearly and accurately the consequences of his/her addiction.     We have 30+ million alcoholics in this country and 15+ million people addicted to illegal drugs.    For every one person chemically dependent on alcohol or illegal drugs, 3 to 4 other people are emotionally, mentally, if not physically harmed.    These addictions result in emotional trauma, setting up the high probability of tendency toward addiction.    Adding up the numbers using only the impact of addiction upon 3 people is 135 million people in this nation harmed. When the addicted person is added to the number, the impact is monstrous.    Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

The Five Heart Podcast opens with chaos as a CBS Sports report sparks rumors that Nebraska special teams coordinator Mike Ekeler is likely headed to USC. Greg and Minnie immediately caution against rumor-mongering—especially after past inaccurate reports—but the chat spirals into mourning anyway. They vent about the nonstop turnover in modern college football, where coaches and players chase bigger money and loyalty feels scarce. Even if Ekeler leaves, they argue Nebraska has to stay loyal to the program, not any single coach, while still acknowledging Ekeler's “juice” and the dramatic turnaround he led on special teams. The conversation bounces between frustration and humor: fitted-hat debates, tech issues with the live chat freezing, and a bizarre detour into Frito pie (including Minnie choking on a chip and swearing off the dish forever). Amid the noise, they hit other Nebraska updates: a new defensive line coach (Corey Brown), discussion of defensive schemes, portal recruiting strategy (older, experienced players), and the addition of a new 2026 QB commit from Las Vegas. They also celebrate Nebraska basketball's surge—ranked in the top 10—while wrestling with how to stay realistic and sane as Husker fans. The show ends with a promise to balance optimism and realism, plus a teaser for a special announcement next week.

A disorder of not knowing how to face, feel, and deal with the feelings that come with living life on life's terms.    Life is a “feelings” experience, one we don't control as much as we must face, feel, and deal with as wisely and productively as we possibly can.   To face life wisely and productively requires that we live in connection with others and God in an intimate way.    The substitute for living relationally connected is to distract ourselves from our own needs. This means that we attempt to find a counterfeit connection that offers a relief, but not what we genuinely need.   The distraction from our own hearts becomes the addictive process. Addiction is marked by negative consequences for the addicted person, but their actions don't change.   Addiction also has its foundation on the defense of denial.   Denial has five characteristics: Denial of facing the reality of what is occurring. Denial of the feelings related to reality. Denial of the needs related to the feelings. Denial about talking about the first three characteristics. Denial of the need to trust that things can actually be different.   Addiction is rooted in toxic shame.   Toxic shame is the internal sense of contempt a person has towards  their feelings and needs the “clumsiness” of being human  the reality of imperfection Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

It is not a strategy.

On a Five Heart Podcast on a special day and time, Greg and Minnie (and maybe a special guest) will discuss Nebraska's performance in the Las Vegas Bowl against the Utah Utes. Lots of players missing from Nebraska's roster today, as Nyziah Hunter was a gameday scratch for health purposes. No Emmett Johnson as the stud prepares for the draft. Were TJ Lateef and the Patchwork Huskers able to pull the upset against the ranked Utes? Utah itself is going through a transition after their head coach Kyle Whittingham was hired by Michigan, prompting several of their notable players to sit out the bowl game. Be a part of the best comment section in Husker Nation when the Eking Crew takes over the Five Heart Podcast, approximately thirty minutes after the conclusion of the Las Vegas Bowl, here on Corn Nation's YouTube, Facebook, and X.

On this episode of the Five Heart Podcast, the hosts will take a long look at the upcoming Las Vegas Bowl match-up with the Utah Utes. It was announced on Friday that Utah's coach Kyle Whittingham was in the works to be the new head coach at the University of Michigan. Would Whittingham coach Utah in the bowl game? After that word was made public, allegedly several Utah players began opting out of the bowl game. They were going to play for the man who was going to step down from coaching. But if he's being poached to coach at a Big Ten school, maybe their fealty isn't required. Also, on Christmas, Nebraska received the commitment Christmas Wishes from Ahmad Hudson, a five-star and the number-one tight end in the country for the Class of 2027. So while there' still some of the 2025 season yet to play out, we can always look to the future. In fact, have you noticed that we as Husker fans tend to look at the past (though not as much as we are accused of doing) and to the future, but we don't always appreciate where we're at right now? We're staring at back-to-back bowl games after an eight year drought. There's a lot to be thankful for from a fan perspective. We are not where we once were, but we're definitely not at our lowest point, and we are heading in the right direction. Like Sawyer Brown sang: Well I hear something calling me Like I've never heard before. It's a red and white freight train And I want to get on board. GBR

Greg shares powerful insights on authenticity, mindset, and communication—highlighting how self-limiting beliefs often stand in the way of trust and progress.The conversation dives into practical strategies for setting clear agreements, defining mutual respect, and creating psychological safety in client and team relationships. Through real-world examples and role-playing, Greg demonstrates how intentional communication can transform conflict into collaboration and rebuild trust where it feels lost.KEY TAKEAWAYSAuthenticity as a Foundation: Sustainable sales success is impossible without an authentic connection and a baseline of mutual respect.Mindset Over Circumstance: Most "impossible" relationships are actually limited by our own internal beliefs—change your narrative to change the outcome.Define Respect Early: Success lies in establishing clear agreements and understanding exactly what "respect" means to your client.The Information Gap: Open and honest communication about expectations is vital; without information, people create "worst-case" stories that lead to downward spirals.Radical Accountability: You cannot control another person, but you have 100% control over your attitude, your actions, and how you show up.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESEveryone wants to buy, no one wants to be sold.If I don't have your best in mind, it's going to come across as me trying to get something for myself.People have to have psychological safety in the conversation—mutual purpose and mutual respect.In the absence of information, we make it up and we make up the worst story we can.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Nebraska's intended transfer portal departures will be discussed. Dylan Raiola is the latest Husker to likely attach a "former" ahead of that. Speaking of former Huskers, Emmett Johnson was named an All-American, rightfully so, if you ask me. He is Nebraska's first All-American since Lavonte David, and that just seems too long. We're now two weeks away from the Las Vegas Bowl, and preparation continues. It also includes Geep Wade and Rob Aurich. They may only be consulting or just present for the bowl game, but they have the ability to be around the players. This is why thirteen practices ahead of the bowl game are important. There will also be discussion about the Nebraska volleyball team's season coming to an unfortunately pre-mature end. But hey, basketball continues to impress. So...you win some, you lose some. Literally.

This episode highlights how reclaiming wasted time allows sales professionals to spend more meaningful time with customers, deepen trust, and drive stronger results.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe Human Element: Sales is fundamentally a human interaction rooted in authenticity and trust—technology should enable, not replace, this.Leverage Efficiency Tools: Utilize efficiency tools, like route planners and virtual assistants, to handle logistical tasks, freeing the salesperson to focus exclusively on building relationships.Route Planning is Power: Optimizing routes and planning customer visits can save significant hours each week for field sales teams, directly impacting time-to-revenue.Focus on the Core: Cutting out distractions and concentrating on real customer conversations and value creation leads directly to better sales results.Repurpose Wasted Time: Regularly assess and repurpose time spent on low-value tasks (like driving or scheduling) into high-value activities, such as meeting more clients or performing account research.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESSales is as old as civilization… this is a very human interaction.If you just focus on how am I going to create value for this person… that's all sales is.It's a noisy world… people's guard is generally up, and they are generally suspicious of things.Repurpose your time… if you could repurpose three hours a day into seeing another customer, that's 15 hours a week. Something tells me you'd grow sales, build more trust, and grow client relationships a whole lot more.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, co-hosts Minnie and Greg START THE SHOW talking about men's and women's basketball as well as top-ranked volleyball's pursuit of the national championship.

This discussion delivers high-value lessons for sales professionals, emphasizing:The profound power of choice in the face of setbacks.The revolutionary concept of "dissolving" instead of "solving" problems.The crucial role of inner narratives and energy in successful sales interactions.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe Power of Choice: Adversity is an inevitable part of life and sales, but your response and perception of it is always a choice.Define Your Setbacks: The meaning you assign to any failure or setback fundamentally shapes your experience, growth, and future actions.Inner Work Drives Success: Authentic sales success requires a commitment to self-awareness and the inner work of reflecting on your thoughts, feelings, and motivations.Dissolve the Illusion: Begin dissolving problems by questioning the deep-seated stories and limiting beliefs you hold about the situation.Energy and Intent: The energy, focus, and intention behind your sales actions matter as much as the actions themselves.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESWe have choice in thought, we have choice in perception, we have choice in perspective.Can you choose to be defined by your vision rather than your circumstances, despite the pain?The meaning we apply to things can last a lifetime if we're not aware of it.Dissolving problems is really the illusion that something shouldn't be the way it is.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, hosts Minnie and Greg will honestly probably NOT recap the Iowa game from last week, outside of discussing how it led to Defensive Coordinator John Butler being future-endeavored. I mean, 40-16 is absolutely abhorrent. You don't want to discuss that. We don't want to discuss that. But the good news is that there are new Huskers on the horizon. Wednesday was Early Signing Day. And while some will lament the fact that ESD takes the wind out of the sails of National Signing Day in February, I suppose it will be nice to know who plans to play for the Huskers. It's like knowing what's beneath the gift wrapping on Christmas morning (SEASONAL REFERENCE!). There will also be mention (and for reasons that I'm not able to disclose, no more than mentions) of the Nebraska volleyball team preparing for its post-season tournament. The duo will also mention the undefeated Nebraska men's basketball team as they prepare for Creighton on Sunday. And because it's the holiday season, we're going to be spoiling you with a brand new Five Heart Theatre! Be ready, because we have no idea what we're doing.

Drawing on Psalm 8 and Isaiah 61, the hosts encourage listeners to ask, seek, and knock—returning to honest feeling, humility, and generosity so they can give themselves away in service to others. The episode invites rest for the holidays and dares listeners to reclaim longing, hope, and the courage to grow, offering a gentle challenge to live with heart in the coming year.

Look kids, this is where the rubber meets the road. It's Black Friday. It's Rivalry Week. It's the HyVee Heroes Trophy. Dammit, I hate that trophy. I hate Io_a. I'm developing a healthy distrust of holidays in general, and you edge lords of the internet are starting to win me over to your side in this annual campaign of not only self-loathing, but a deep and perennial lack of enthusiasm about our so-called "beloved" Cornhuskers. Why don't we kick field goals to take early points? Why do we run the ball up the middle five godforsaken times in a row inside the opponents' ten yard line? Why can't we have nice things? And why is it that each Black Friday we have this corporate buffoonery where we have to endure a rock fight with a joke program with even worse fans who are so incompetent they didn't even know they had a Heisman Trophy winner, and their joke of a stadium is named after him?!? I mean seriously, Kinnick Stadium. Their boring brand of football has elevated them to the peak of mediocrity. "They are who we thought they are." And they'll never be anything greater. It's Thanksgiving Eve. It's Turkey Before Turkey. To hell with Io_a. Let's drink.

How are you going to keep Christ in Christmas this year? I recommend spending a few minutes each day in December reading The Jesse Tree: A Christmas Devotional.  This devotional will take you through the Bible, from Genesis to the birth of Jesus. Each day focuses on God's protection of the royal line of Jesus and God's plan of redemption for His people.   We are made for more October to April opens up the most magical time of the year and potentially the most painful.   As the fall approaches and the “harvest” season settles into our consciousness, we begin to long for what the holidays are created to offer, family, friends, and fellowship.    The windows of the “soul” open to our heavenly longings as the holiday season of anticipation begins. The window remains open until the new year begins, our resolutions have turned back into daily life, and we lift the “heavy burden” of getting back to work—we prepare to pay our taxes in April!   If we allow ourselves to long for what we dream the holidays can offer, we will also need to allow ourselves to grieve what they cannot give us—heavenly completion on earth:    It is okay to grieve The family gatherings will not live up to what we dream at the worst, and they will end with departures at their best.   The friends we love to be with will need to return to their places of other purposes.   The fellowship that blesses us will also come to an end.   We can experience heavenly hints of completion, but not get to remain in the place of completion.    The holidays awaken us to holy moments of seeing how life could be, or is created to be, but this is still not heaven.    In the movie “Field of Dreams” a character asks, “Is this heaven?” The answer to the beautiful question of hope is, “No, this is Iowa.” We can taste heaven here during the holiday season, but not keep it or possess it; we can only take time to live it by bringing family and friends together in fellowship.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

The latest Five Heart Podcast opens with Greg and Minnie reacting to the major news that quarterback recruit Dayton Raiola has decommitted from Nebraska. Minnie explains that while disappointing, the move may be in Dayton's best interest given Nebraska's depth chart and limited early playing time. The hosts also discuss speculation about Dylan Raiola's future, including social-media activity linking him to Oregon, and emphasize that any decision to leave would be his choice, not fan-driven. Conversation shifts to Nebraska's offensive struggles, particularly the offensive line, recruiting challenges, and Donovan Raiola's development timeline. The hosts highlight NIL changes, Pipeline Jerky's pause, and Troy Dannen's comments on improving Memorial Stadium revenue and NIL alignment. Attention turns to upcoming on-field matters: Nebraska's matchup with Penn State, Emmett Johnson's rising stardom, and whether he should turn pro after the season. They preview Penn State's run-heavy scheme, Nebraska's defensive adjustments, and excitement around quarterback TJ Lateef, whose mobility adds a new dynamic to the offense. The episode wraps with humor, fan banter, score predictions, and another performance of Five Heart Theater, before closing with optimism about Saturday night's game in Happy Valley and the classic sign-off: Go Big Red.

I can name my feelings, values, beliefs, and keep my behaviors consistent with them. I can define the limits of what I can comfortably do or give. I can clarify what is acceptable or tolerable in a relationship. I can share my vulnerabilities and competencies with others. I can give others permission to do the same things.

Perfect isn't functional. An atmosphere of perfection is oppressive; it is just as damaging as a chaotic atmosphere is abandoning. Neither a perfectionistic nor a chaotic atmosphere advance emotional, spiritual, and relational growth. To parent well, we need to be willing to seek aid, wisdom, and courage from God and others. No one has all the answers, but our humility can allow us to have more than we would have without asking.   There are six basic principles to creating a functional relational system, one in which relationship and health is the primary concern, whether it be a family, friendship or marriage: I can talk openly about things that are important to me. I can name my feelings, beliefs, and values, and keep my behaviors consistent with them. I can define the limits of what I can comfortably do or give. I can clarify the limits of what is acceptable or tolerable in the relationship. I can openly share my vulnerabilities and competencies with others.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to bring God's Presence into our relationships with others. Through His life, Jesus shows us how to live at the pace of the Holy Spirit and create space for authentic connection. We explore how easy it is to overlook the significance of ordinary moments and how, through slowing the pace of our lives, we have powerful opportunities to love, listen, and become more attuned to those around us. We also discuss the importance of healthy boundaries, the freedom that comes from not needing to fix others, and how it's God's love that shapes how we show up for the people in our lives.   Heather's One Thing - This Wild at Heart Podcast series with Jon Tyson (Part 1) (Part 2) Sister Miriam's One Thing - The Lila Rose Show with Msgr Rossetti  Michelle's One Thing - Raise a Hallelujah by Bethel Music, Jonathan Helser, and Melissa Helser   Journal Questions: How can I show up for people in my life in this season? How do I need others to show up for me? In what ways do I lose myself when entering into the suffering of others? Do I need to create a boundary in any of my relationships?   Discussion Questions: What margin do you need to create for yourself so you can be more present? What is your biggest obstacle to being present to your loved ones? How can you prioritize being present to Christ and what He's doing in you? What would it look like for you to give from a place of security?   Quote to Ponder: “More and more, the desire grows in me simply to walk around, greet people, enter their homes, sit on their doorsteps, play ball, throw water, and be known as someone who wants to live with them. It is a privilege to have the time to practice this simple ministry of presence. Still, it is not as simple as it seems. My own desire to be useful, to do something significant, or to be part of some impressive project is so strong that soon my time is taken up by meetings, conferences, study groups, and workshops that prevent me from walking the streets. It is difficult not to have plans, not to organize people around an urgent cause, and not to feel that you are working directly for social progress. But I wonder more and more if the first thing shouldn't be to know people by name, to eat and drink with them, to listen to their stories and tell your own, and to let them know with words, handshakes, and hugs that you do not simply like them, but truly love them.” (Henri Nouwen, Gracias: A Latin American Journal)   Scripture for Lectio: “O Lord, thou hast searched me and known me!” (Psalm 139:1)   Sponsor - Camp Wojtyla: Are you looking for a transformative experience for your middle school or high school student?
