Would a purpose-driven approach make a difference in how we care for the elderly? When it comes to caring for the elderly, a purpose-driven approach can make a big difference. By creating value beyond profits, we focus on the well-being and happiness of those we serve. There is no better example of this concept than Chuck Hall's journey. After years of success in the construction industry, he recognized an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in senior care. Chuck's business, Vitality Living, evolved from a fee-for-service model to a vertically integrated structure, providing services that extend beyond basic care. This transformation underscores the positive outcomes of a purpose-driven approach. Through his leadership, the business shifted focus to not only building facilities for seniors but also providing comprehensive care through a variety of ancillary services. In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius is joined by Chuck Hall to discuss his journey from the construction industry to the senior care sector. Chuck shares how he transitioned from a fee-for-service model to a vertically integrated approach, focusing on providing high-quality care for the elderly. He explains the importance of conscious leadership, the benefits of vertical integration, and the role of partnerships in building successful businesses. Topics include: Chuck talks about his early entrepreneurial influences Creating vertically integrated system in his senior care business The benefits of having an entrepreneurial mindset Chuck looks back working for Turner Construction in New York City How failure served as a catalyst for Chuck to start his own business Chuck explains the value of co-investing in projects Recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of your business partners And other topics… Connect with Chuck: Website: https://www.vitalityseniorliving.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-hall-53a259/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/c4build/ Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Global Heartstream, we explored the topic of "The Power to Love Unconditionally." In this episode, we delved into what unconditional love is and how we can cultivate this powerful force in our lives. Our discussion centered around three key ways to give ourselves unconditional love, including self-compassion, self-forgiveness, and self-acceptance. We also discussed the benefits of living from a place of unconditional love, such as increased happiness, inner peace, and a deeper connection with others. After the discussion, I guided a 20-minute heart-coherence meditation to help you access the power of unconditional love within. The meditation will create a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere, enabling you to access the love and compassion in your heart. We will use gentle breath work and affirmations to help you tap into your capacity for unconditional love and give yourself the gift of this powerful force.

Reading from John Welwood's essay “Intimate Relationship as a Spiritual Crucible.”“…to gain greater access to the gold of our nature in relationship, a certain alchemy is required: the refining of our conditioned defensive patterns. The good news is that this alchemy generated between two people also furthers a larger alchemy within them. The opportunity here is to join and integrate the twin poles of human existence: heaven, the vast space of perfect, unconditional openness, and earth, our imperfect, limited human form, shaped by worldly causes and conditions. As the defensive/controlling ego cooks and melts down in the heat of love's influence, a beautiful evolutionary development starts to emerge — the genuine person, who embodies a quality of very human relational presence that is transparent to open-hearted being, right in the midst of the dense confines of worldly conditioning.”John Welwood (1943-2019) was a psychotherapist, teacher, and author, and has been a pioneer in integrating psychological and spiritual work for the past thirty years. His books include Journey of the Heart: The Path of Conscious Love, Toward a Psychology of Awakening, Love and Awakening and, most recently, Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships: Healing the Wound of the Heart.

Hello Masters. As we awaken to the Truth of our Beingness, we are forced to shed what no longer serves us, which can lead to discomfort. This discomfort can show itself in many ways to us through feelings, sensations, thoughts, body pains, relationship breakdowns, etc etc. Through us understanding that this is the path of healing, we allow these to unfold without resistance as much as possible. For what we resist, persists. Why? Because you are a creator and if you resist something, regardless of its form or formlessness, there is something there that needs healing. This in itself is a gift. For what comes to our conscious mind is telling us what needs our light. We have been bred to hide our pain, to ignore our pain and to see our pain as weakness, when in fact it's a great gift. A gift of awakening, a gift of opening a new door to endless possibilities instead of repeating the same pattern, time and time again. Which through the law of attraction we will have to face until it's resolved.My friends, it is time to not resist. To face ourselves with honesty and integrity and break down the walls that we have built up around ourselves for our so called "protection". There is nothing you need protection from.

Speaking of Partnership: Personal Stories of the Power and Payoffs of Partnership
Kelsey Grant is passionate about living in a world where people feel inspired, fulfilled, balanced and happy within the expansiveness of their intimate relationships. As a Love and Relationship Educator rooted in Radical Self Love Methodology, she writes, speaks and teaches coaches, thought leaders and game changers how to access greater alignment with love for their leadership and relationships to thrive. Her commitment to love runs deep as she is also the founder and facilitator of a local sisterhood circle that creates safe space for women to open their hearts and share what is really going on behind the scenes of their lives. Currently, she is teaching the essential tools we "don't know we don't know" about love and partnership that are key foundations to creating and maintaining relationships that really work. Guiding Principle, Quote or Mantra What would love do? Whenever she is down in the dumps or spinning into a darker place, she comes back to this question: What would love do? What would love say? How would love handle this? This helps ground Kelsey back into her heart. It creates a little bit of space between the thought and the action. Which gives her time to make a better choice. When You Tripped Up Early on in a recent relationship Kelsey had, she got tripped up on her jealousy and insecurity. One woman in particular had come into their lives and she felt incredibly threatened by. Here old mechanisms of handling jealously started to rise up instead of asking “what would love do?” she operated on auto pilot and got reactive. This left no space for the truth to emerge. This approach eventually led to the relationships coming to an end temporarily. The “DUH” moment that changed your partnerships forever One of Kelsey’s big DUH moments was when she realized that she was depending on her partner to give her pieces of her self esteem back. And looking to him for approval and validation. She started asking herself, who was it she needed recognition from? The first answer she got was herself. As uncomfortable as this was, Kelsey gave herself a 30 day challenge of owning every day what she did that was self loving and how she had cared for herself that day. And she did it on Facebook to hold herself accountable by making it public. This helped her move past the resistance she had to being seen and being recognized. The second place she was seeking recognition was from her father. So Kelsey called up her Dad and said “I really need to know that you’re proud of me.” This is the first time she had been courageous enough to ask him. Once she asked for what she needed, he was able to provide it. And this was so nourishing to her. Proudest moment in partnership When Kelsey and her partner have authentic and really heart opening conversations she always feels proud. The acceptance of who he is fully creates the space for him to do the same for her. Being seen and accepted deeply are some of the proudest moments of her partnership. What is the best partnership / relationship advice you have ever received? Approach your relationship as a path and not a destination. This allows you to meet whatever arrises on your journey with curiosity and love and compassion. Then you can use your partnership as a vessel for personal development both independently and as a couple. If you see it as a path that is ever evolving and ever expanding this creates a lot of space for acceptance.
