Welcome to this week's The New P&L TO THE POINT. The New P&L TO THE POINT is a weekly podcast series where, in around 10 minutes each week, we break down the key elements of our weekly The New P&L conversations with industry leaders and entrepreneurs.

Greg has built his expertise at the epicentre of strategy, technology, innovation, and sport. He has a seemingly simple formula to managing the complex digital transformation of large organisation – Greg starts by placing the human – employees, customers, and other stakeholders right at the heart of his approach. Today on The New P&L TO THE POINT we discuss: · How Greg demonstrated his philosophy in practice from right from the start of the conversation · The role of empathetic connection in business · The two core principles of human-led business transformation · Anchoring your digital transformation project on principles of humanity and empathy · Why flawed assumptions damage the communication of digital transformation in an organisation · Why there is sometimes just too many numbers and not enough natural compassion in buisness Join The New P&L community: LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/principlesandleadership/ Twitter: @TheNewPandL Insta: @principlesandleadership LinkedIn page: Principlesandleadership --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/principlesandleadership/message

Today's guest is truly a multipotentialite with interests spanning gender nonconformity, psychology, healthy eating, photography, and the creative arts. He has discovered ways to embrace his creativity and merge his talents to offer meaningful help to others in their struggles. Join us to learn more! Greg Halpen is a food blogger and food photographer who created the food blog, Craving the Yum: Eating After Chemo.

Greg gives chemotherapy patients the steps and practical tools to reimagine meals without compromising the YUM factor. Through his food blog, he shares the secrets to preparing meals that are simple, healthy, and extra. Show Highlights: Why Greg is intensely passionate about helping people navigate the frustrating and difficult waters of figuring out what to eat during and after chemo How Greg's personal brand of intensity covers multiple areas of creativity: music, theater, food blogging, and photography How Greg's childhood trauma spurred him into creative outlets as coping mechanisms The difficulty for Greg in not having a support system to help him grow as a creative person What Greg wishes he knew back then: “There are people in the world who WILL see you and get you.” The cultural factors that affected Greg as a gay young man with confusing feelings that couldn't be expressed and realized How digging deep into learning about homophobia and hetero-normative thinking helped Greg cope How Greg has had to purposely shrink himself down to be smaller because of his insecurity as a person How men are affected by sexuality and gender issues very differently than women Why Greg has felt out of control when he couldn't harness his creativity amidst the chaos of life How Greg uses his fire for good in being of service to others and helping people How he learned the important lesson that he isn't at the center of everything How therapy, cooking, and helping others with food relationships have helped Greg harness his intensity How Greg helps others use their fire by helping them to make small changes and understand “diet culture confusion” Up next for Greg: writing a book (the free mini-version is available on his website now!)

Greg McKeown is the author of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller "Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less." He is among the most popular bloggers for the Harvard Business Review. He speaks about innovation, focus, leadership, discipline, simplicity, execution, and of course, the power of living and leading as an Essentialist. Doing the right things shouldn't be the only concern when going about your most serious responsibilities in life, just as much as hard work and over-exertion shouldn't be your sole approach when it comes to competition and being successful.  Tyler and Greg discuss the core of essentialism, why people get pulled into non-essentialism, and why burnout is not a badge of honor. He also explains the proper perspective that helps success become more attainable in the most significant bits of your life –effortlessly. To be selective, thoughtful, and be doing less but better the quickest –is always the point for Greg. It Can Only Go So Far As Greg references the famous rocks, pebbles, and sand metaphor, he tells how the example isn't always the case for everyone in real life. Despite this imagery being so popularly received and applied, he believes the metaphor can only go so far. Prioritizing your big rocks into a jar, following up with your pebbles, then lastly filling in your sand shows how a hectic life of roles and responsibilities can be tackled by an analogy. But what if your big rocks are just simply too many? What if, in themselves, your main responsibilities are just too much for the jar? The question Greg raises brings light to the reality; in life, doing the right things isn't always enough. When they get overwhelming, abandoning some of our primary roles isn't the point for Greg. Sometimes, asking the brain, "what's the most effortless way to handle this?" is the game-changer that you're yet to tap into. Greg goes on to describe this as "the closest thing to magic" for him. By asking this simple question, with practice, the brain is undoubtedly wired into eventually believing that working hard isn't the only easy way to achieve wanted results. For high-performing real estate investors looking to achieve more, working harder isn’t the answer! Tune in and elevate your productivity. Outline of the episode: [07:48] The story of Essentialism – in my wife's POV. [11:20] Fear of losing out or losing something. [14:12] "What do you do if there are too many big rocks?" [18:57] Essentialism – doing the right things; Effortless – doing them the right way. [22:13] The point of too much. [24:51] For Tyler – What is hard but essential? What does done look like? [31:47] Is hustle the way to the next level? [40:31] Ask your brain, "what's the most effortless way to handle this?" [44:57] On diminishing results and negative results.

Episode 75: White Supremacists, the Military & the Capitol Riots

Everyday Conversations on Race for Everyday People

In this Conversation on Race, I’m joined by Greg Jenkin, a white man who spent over 28 years in the military. We talk about white supremacy in the military, and the riots at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Greg, is a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion leader who  continues to coach and mentor veterans who are transitioning out of the service. This show is a little different in that Greg and Simma are both white. Stephon Williams who is African- American had to cancel at the last minute. We decided to do this episode anyway because of the topic. Greg shares his perspective on the white riots/insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, where there seemed to be a disproportionate amount of people who had been in the military. Key topics: The numbers of people who had been in the military who participated in the white riot. Although there were a few Jewish, Black and Latinx people at the riot, a great majority were there representing white supremacy. Greg’s reason for going into the military;  not out of patriotism but because of the recession when he joined How Greg found a deep patriotism once he was in the military How some people come into the military who are already indoctrinated in white supremacy and other people let go of many of their biases as a result of being around people who are different The military itself does not support white supremacy and impresses on people the importance of supporting freedom and the constitution for everybody Consequences when someone in the military is discovered to be a white supremacist The military also provides opportunities for people to engage and interact with people who are different Greg talks about why he thinks it’s difficult for white supremacists to get into the military How Greg learned about racism and sexism and self-awareness from being in the military. It was a place of self-discovery and growth around diversity for him The responsibility that military leaders have to educate, and create environments where people can learn about each other to serve everyone in the country What makes a good leader in the military About Greg Jenkins Greg Jenkins is a dedicated and passionate consultant, practitioner and life-long learner of Diversity & Inclusion, Equal Opportunity and Leadership. He recently completed a successful US Army career that ranged from overseas duties in Germany, South Korea and combat duty in Iraq to include a number of stateside assignments culminating in Washington D.C. His performance in Military Equal Opportunity efforts resulted in developing a model program for other Army Equal Opportunity and human relations efforts. He served as the senior commander’s liaison with state and local organizations, along with educational and community leaders resulting in improved civic relationships. Greg was hand-selected by the Director of the Army’s Diversity Task Force to help establish the Army’s Diversity program, policy and products. He was instrumental in the planning and execution the Army’s Diversity marketing campaign achieving world-wide coverage for the Army’s 1.4M Soldiers, Civilians, and their family members. He’s an experienced instructor who has provided training, facilitation and oversight for thousands of personnel ensuring quality and relevant Military Equal Opportunity, Diversity and Leadership training and education for mid, senior and executive level managers and leaders. Most recently, he was appointed as; Chair or Board, Diversity Certification Institute, Global Diversity & Inclusion Foundation. He volunteers for the Missouri committee of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. He’s a published author and graduate of Webster University, where recently attained my Master’s degree in Human Resources Development.

Cities may have seemed more fragile during the global COVID-19 lockdowns but, as Greg Woolf's impressive studies of early urbanism show, cities have been re-invented many times. In today's episode, listeners hear from Greg, who is an historian and archaeologist, specializing in the late Iron Age and the Roman Empire. Greg is currently the Director of the Institute of Classical Studies and a Professor of Classics at the University of London. His research concerns the history and archaeology of the ancient world at a very large scale, and he has published on literacy, on cultural change in the provinces, on identities in the ancient world, and also on libraries and knowledge cultures. He is currently researching urban resilience, mobility, and migration in the ancient world, and his latest book, The Life and Death of Ancient Cities, was published in 2020. In this episode, Greg talks about the ancient city of Göbekli Tepe and how it has influenced the way we think about city creation. He explains the common traditions that create a city, how those essential precursors have influenced human behavior, and how language and resources have travelled across the globe since ancient times. Greg also covers the collapse of the Bronze Age, the following urbanization in the Mediterranean, and some key factors that influenced the locations of ancient cities, and he ponders on the comparative advantage that Rome had over its neighbors. Finally, Greg shares his opinions on governance and the role it plays in the evolution of cities, and he offers some core lessons from what led to a successful versus an unsuccessful ancient city. Tune in today! Key Points From This Episode: •   Greg shares the premise of his latest book and explains why it's no accident we live in cities. •   Why Greg chose to study classical history – a fascination with the ancient world and an interest in digging came together. •   The ancient city, Göbekli Tepe, and how it influences the way we think about city creation. •   There are two traditions to a city – agricultural intensification and collective activity. •   The essential precursor for urbanism is agriculture – Greg explains how it impacts behavior. •   How Greg believes we're getting better at discovering and understanding new sites. •   As archeological technology evolves, Greg thinks there are indefinite discoveries to be made. •   Thinking about the Bronze Age in a broader context, how language and resources spread. •   The collapse of the Bronze Age – how long it took, and why Greg suspects it happened. •   The Bronze Age collapsing versus the collapse of the Roman Empire, for example. •   Preserving literacy and Roman tax systems while the churches went on undisturbed. •   What happens with urbanization in the Mediterranean following the Bronze Age collapse. •   Greg says key factors for the locations of ancient cities were connect-ability and fertility. •   What comparative advantage did cities that asserted themselves have over their neighbors? Greg says it could be luck, location, or strategy. •   How the governance of ancient Mediterranean cities played or didn't play into their evolution. •   Greg asserts why he believes that governance makes no difference to the rise and fall of individual cities. •   What was different about Rome that led it to the Mediterranean empire, like its geopolitics. •   It's tempting to look back at history like a straight line, but it's a curve with many possibilities. •   Core lessons from what led to a successful versus an unsuccessful ancient city.   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: https://twitter.com/woolf_greg?lang=en (Greg Woolf on Twitter)...

Successful business development strategies are always a hot topic when I’m talking with agency owners. That was true before the pandemic, so you can imagine how often we’re talking about it now! Business development for agencies has made a 180 over the past decade. Have you changed the way you sell to keep current? Greg Jacobs is the head of Strategic Partnerships at Schiefer Chop Shop, an Irvine-based brand transformation agency where he developed a unique recipe for successful business development strategies. He also led NASCAR’s unscripted content division and served as Head (SVP) of Monetization at Red Bull & Red Bull Media House. As you might imagine, with that background, he comes at prospecting for his agency in a very different way.

Apple Podcasts Rate and Review for SpotOn Gregory Offner Jr. is a public speaker, career development coach, and expert content marketer. He regularly held public speaking and coaching events in front of professionals and students until the pandemic hit this year. He then took on the mantle of a Virtual Event Emcee, a position born out of the need to present to an audience in this time of uncertainty. Greg is also fond of music, citing his love for the piano and performing in front of an audience as a stepping stone to where he is today. Greg joins us today to share how he turned his passion for music into a professional speaking career. He describes his childhood, how recession affected the way he was schooled, and how music kept him going as a professional. He discusses the time he was told he would lose his voice, the anxiety of losing one of his motivators in life, and his realization when he was unable to speak for long periods during treatment. He explains how disruptions happen and why companies are either disrupting or being disrupted. Greg also describes why companies, like people, are always changing and never in maintenance mode. "You can either choose to disrupt or be disrupted, but there is no ‘maintain.’ No company is ever in maintenance mode." - Gregory Offner Today on Spot On Insurance: Gregory’s passion for music. Greg's reflections on the moment the doctor told him he would lose his voice. Greg's life as a pianist and his experience performing in front of people. How Greg's predicament with his voice changed his perception of injury. The kind of excuse COVID-19 provided many company executives. The many services Greg offers companies to help them keep up with disruption. Why no company is ever in maintenance mode and how it relates to people. What sets disruption apart from everything else in business? Why every performance he does for companies is his favorite. Greg's advice for those who want to continuously change for the better. Key Takeaways: COVID-19 was the perfect excuse for companies to get creative. If we build on our successes, we're going to be so much more successful than if we constantly spotlight our failures.
