What do you care about these days? Caring is the currency of leadership, but here's the paradox: when we care too much about too many things, we can lose sight of the things that truly matter. So the question is: How do you direct your energy toward what you value, without becoming overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things you could care about? The most effective leaders are those who can connect deeply with their teams, foster trust, and create a sense of safety and belonging. They lead with empathy, not just strategy.But perfectionism and overfunctioning can lead us to feel like we need to be everything to everyone, at the expense of our well-being and, ultimately, the quality of our leadership.For many of us, the path to effective leadership begins with finding your enough. When you shift your lens to honoring your enough, you stay connected to your values and to the people and causes that matter most to you, without tipping into exhaustion.My guest today offers a model of what it's like to care deeply without losing yourself in the process, and of finding joy and community along the way. Ashlee Piper is a sustainability expert, commentator, and speaker whose work has been widely featured on television and in print media.

In this episode of the Untrapped Podcast, Keith Kalfas chats with Chris Beltran, the Brand Transformist from California, about how strong, consistent branding can take your service business—from landscaping to window cleaning—to the next level. Chris shares insights from working with industry pros like Brian Fullerton and Paul Jameson, and they reveal details about a free workshop on August 6th to help you create a brand style guide and attract dream clients. If you're ready to stand out and charge what you're worth, this episode's for you.     “Your branding really sets the expectations of your customer's experience. So if they feel that your brand is cheap, inconsistent, or sloppy, they're going to assume that's how working with you will feel too.” – Chris Beltran Topics Covered: Why branding is more than just a logo—it's about perception and trust How consistent, professional branding impacts sales and client confidence The difference between looking professional vs. looking intentional Chris Beltran's AIM Method: Audience alignment, Intentional imagery, and Messaging The importance of a brand style guide (and how it saves time + money) Real-life branding wins: Rebrands for Brian Fullerton, Paul Jameson, and Keith himself When (and why) to rebrand your business How branding creates subconscious emotional impact Common mistakes like “Canva-hacking” your brand and using generic logos Branding stats that prove its ROI (e.g., 33% revenue boost from consistency) The power of cohesive branding across business cards, websites, uniforms, and trucks Details on the free Brand Advantage Workshop happening August 6th Key Takeaways Branding Sets the Tone Before You Even Speak: Your website, logo, and truck wrap are doing the talking before you do. If your brand feels cheap or inconsistent, clients will assume your service is too—no matter how good you actually are. Consistency Builds Trust (and Referrals): Being visually consistent across your business cards, social media, shirts, and site isn't just about looking good—it makes you memorable and referable. Consistency signals professionalism and builds instant credibility. Your Brand Should Reflect Your Value—Not Undercut It: If your service is premium but your branding looks DIY, you're sending mixed signals. A cohesive, intentional brand tells clients, “Yes, I'm worth the price”—and makes it easier to charge what you're really worth.   Connect with Chris Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itschrisbeltran/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/itschrisbeltran/ Website: https://chrisbeltran.mykajabi.com/ Brand Advantage Workshop: https://chrisbeltran.mykajabi.com/brand-advantage-keith Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

If there's one thing I've learned in my work, it's that inclusive workplaces don't just happen. They're built—with intention, consistency, and a clear commitment to amplifying voices that too often get left out of the conversation.In a recent episode of DEI After 5, I had the chance to talk with Dr. Nika White, someone who has built her career at the intersection of marketing, leadership, and inclusion. Her journey—from marketing communications into the work of building inclusive environments—reminded me of something I say often: inclusion isn't a vibe. It's a practice. And intentionality is the engine that drives it.Let's break that down.Inclusion Doesn't Work Without IntentionThere's a big difference between wanting to be inclusive and choosing to be. The latter requires planning, foresight, and daily action. Dr. White calls this being an intentional inclusionist—someone who actively looks for ways to make space for others and doesn't wait for permission or a job title to do it.That kind of inclusion isn't passive. It doesn't show up because you added a statement to your website or dropped a few new stock photos into your next marketing campaign. It shows up when you build habits, ask better questions, and create systems that make people feel like they truly belong—not just like they're being accommodated.And it's not just the responsibility of DEI leaders or HR. Anyone can be an intentional inclusionist. In fact, it's most powerful when it's embedded into the day-to-day work of people across roles and departments. Think of it as inclusive leadership in action—whether you're managing people or not.Storytelling Gets Better When More Voices Are HeardHere's where Dr. White's background in marketing really shines. She knows that storytelling isn't just fluff—it's strategy. And when stories are shaped by narrow perspectives, the result is often exclusion, even if unintentional.When you intentionally bring in underrepresented voices, your narratives don't just become more diverse—they become more authentic, more resonant, and more powerful. That's not just good for business. It's essential for trust, connection, and credibility.Whether you're creating a campaign, writing an internal memo, or running a team meeting, ask yourself: Whose perspective is missing? That one question can change the entire tone and impact of your message.The Real Impact: Belonging, Innovation, and ChangeWhen intentional inclusion becomes part of your workplace culture, the ripple effects are huge. People feel seen. Teams perform better. Innovation increases. And storytelling becomes a tool for transformation instead of just promotion.I've seen it in my own work and in the organizations I partner with: when people feel safe to share, they bring their best ideas forward. But that kind of safety and openness doesn't come from surface-level statements—it comes from the daily practices of leaders, team members, and communicators who've made the choice to include on purpose.What It Looks Like in PracticeBeing an intentional inclusionist might look like:* Interrupting patterns—noticing who always gets the mic, the opportunity, or the benefit of the doubt.* Asking better questions—especially in meetings, interviews, and hiring panels.* Designing with real people in mind—not assumptions.* Telling stories with, not about, communities you want to reach.None of this requires a new department or a massive budget. It starts with clarity and commitment.We All Have a RoleDr. Nika's story is a great reminder that inclusion work can be born out of noticing gaps—and then doing something about them. You don't have to be a “DEI expert” to notice who's missing from the room or whose ideas are constantly overlooked.Being an intentional inclusionist is about recognizing your influence—wherever you are in the organization—and choosing to use it to build something better.Because when we do, everyone benefits. The stories we tell become richer. The culture becomes more connected. And the workplace becomes a place where more people can thrive.✳️ Want to share how you're practicing intentional inclusion? Drop a comment or hit reply—I'd love to hear what this looks like for you.✳️ If this resonated with you, share the post with someone else who's working to build a better workplace, one intentional act at a time.Thanks for reading DEI After 5!

This week on the No Regrets Podcast, Bill Search, pastor at Crossings Community Church and author of several books on small group ministry, shares practical, hands-on ideas to help take your small group to the next level. Whether you've been in a group for decades or are just getting started, this episode offers valuable tools and fresh insights. Bill reflects on his own story—how early in marriage, his wife encouraged him to join a small group, even though he didn't think he needed one. But that group changed his life. It was there he discovered the power of being known, challenged, and encouraged—and the importance of doing the same for others. Throughout the episode, Bill emphasizes the need for intentionality in small groups. He shares ways to breathe new life into your group: switch locations, rotate leaders, try a new study format, or invite a few new people in. Taking risks and making small changes can help create space for deeper connection and lasting growth. Whether you're leading a group or simply part of one, this conversation will challenge and equip you to be more intentional. Listen in—and don't forget to share this episode with someone who's passionate about building stronger small groups.

This conversation delves into the complexities of fault allocation in tort law, exploring the historical context of contributory negligence, the shift to comparative negligence, and the implications of several versus joint liability. It discusses the nuances of assumption of risk, the treatment of children in negligence cases, and the intersection of strict liability with comparative fault. The conversation also highlights the psychological aspects of negligent conduct, the economic versus fairness debates in tort law, and the critical role of legal representation in navigating these intricate legal waters.TakeawaysUnderstanding fault allocation is crucial for aspiring lawyers.Contributory negligence can bar recovery even with minor plaintiff fault.The last clear chance doctrine mitigates harshness in contributory negligence.Comparative negligence allows for proportional recovery based on fault.Several liability means each defendant pays their share of fault.Assumption of risk can limit or bar recovery for plaintiffs.Children are judged by a different standard of care in negligence cases.Strict liability can still involve comparative fault considerations.Intentional torts typically do not allow for comparative fault defenses.Legal representation is essential in navigating complex tort law cases.

Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.com Attend a Thriving Leader event: https://www.themomentumcompany.com/thrivingleader2025 Instagram: @the.momentum.company LinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this episode, Mark Jewell is joined by agricultural commentator, speaker, and podcast host Damian Mason for a candid and high-energy conversation about the intentional evolution of individuals, businesses, and the ag industry at large. From political comedy to economic commentary, Damian shares how he reinvented himself—and why the ag industry must do the same. Together, they tackle the myths of "feeding the world," challenge commodity mindsets, and explore what it means to lead from a place of health, clarity, and discipline.Key Takeaways:Intentional Reinvention Requires CourageDamian shares how he intentionally shifted from political comedy to agricultural commentary, despite the comfort and success of his past career. Reinvention means letting go of what once worked to make room for what's next.Ag's Identity Crisis Needs a New North StarThe old narrative of "feeding the world" no longer resonates. Today's agricultural leaders must rethink their purpose—focusing on sustainability, nutrient density, and stewardship, rather than just production volume.Policy, Incentives & Entrenchment Are Holding Us BackGovernment subsidies, university research incentives, and industry entrenchment keep ag locked into outdated systems. Progress requires bold leadership and a willingness to challenge the status quo.Consumer Behavior Is Changing—Ag Must Catch UpConsumers are already proving they'll pay more for quality, flavor, and health. Ag must prioritize differentiation and embrace emerging trends like regenerative ag, flavor-focused products, and transparency in sourcing.Leadership Transformation Begins with Personal HealthMark shares how Thriving Leader participants undergo physical and personal transformation—often losing weight, getting healthier, and showing up as better leaders—by simply being placed in a high-performance environment.Notable Quotes:“Being funny is like being tall. You either are or you aren't.” – Damian Mason“It takes tremendous intention to say: this thing that made me millions of dollars is now just a story.” – Damian Mason“We're stuck on slogans from 30 years ago. Feeding the world isn't the point anymore.” – Damian Mason“Intention and discipline walk down the same aisle. One without the other gets you nowhere.” – Mark Jewell“You want to lead transformation? Start by getting people off soda and into a 6am kickboxing workout.” – Mark JewellAction Steps:Reflect on whether your current business model or leadership approach needs an intentional evolution.Challenge outdated industry narratives and begin forming your own North Star for impact.Rethink the role of policy and incentives in your work—are they helping or hindering progress?Consider your own health and habits: what shifts would make you a stronger, more grounded leader?Listen If You Are:A leader in agribusiness looking to stay relevant and forward-focusedTired of outdated industry slogans and ready to create real impactCurious about the intersection of policy, performance, and purpose in agA lifelong learner interested in personal and industry transformationSomeone ready to challenge the status quo and evolve intentionally

Real spiritual growth doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in community. In Acts 2, we see a beautiful picture of the early church: a people devoted to God, to one another, and to growing in faith together. This week, we explore how biblical community is not only essential for our spiritual health, but also a powerful witness to the world around us.

The BBC World Service has pieced together the story of two-year-old Layan al-Majdalawi, who was killed in Gaza in areas where the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was operating. Layan is just one of more than 160 cases of children shot in the war in Gaza, for whom we have gathered accounts. The IDF told us they are examining the case, and that: "Intentional harm to civilians, especially children, is strictly prohibited."Also the programme: President Trump announces he is imposing higher tax rates on imports to America from dozens of countries who've failed to reach a trade deal with him; and Chinese schoolgirl Yu Zidi becomes the youngest swimmer in history to win a medal at the World Aquatics Championships.

In this episode, listeners hear a candid conversation about the early days of entrepreneurship, the leap of faith it takes to leave stable careers, and the lessons learned while growing a firm from a tiny shared office space to a 71-person team with multiple locations. The discussion dives into the challenges of stepping away from a structured environment, the fears and unknowns of entrepreneurship, and the importance of intentionally shaping company culture from day one. Listeners will gain an inside look at the journey of building a business with a focus on the client experience, democratizing access to legal expertise, and overcoming the doubts that come with starting something entirely new—while also nurturing a strong personal and professional partnership. Seven Key Takeaways Taking calculated risks is crucial – The leap from secure employment to starting a firm requires courage, planning, and a willingness to face uncertainty.Intentional culture-building pays off – Choosing the right people and fostering a non-toxic, supportive environment can set a business apart from competitors.Focus on client experience, not just results – Providing accessible legal information and prioritizing the client journey can be a key differentiator in a crowded market.Start small, think big – Even a tiny rented office can be the foundation for long-term success if vision and determination are strong.Partnerships thrive on trust and communication – A strong foundation in both personal and professional relationships is essential when building a business together.Avoiding the “glass ceiling” mindset – Entrepreneurship provides opportunities for growth without waiting for promotions tied to seniority.Resilience is non-negotiable – Early challenges and setbacks are inevitable, but perseverance can lead to significant growth over time.

Jeannette explores the transformative power of strategic thinking in business, guiding leaders from chaos to clarity. She emphasises the importance of stepping back to make decisions rooted in purpose rather than reacting to daily distractions. Jeanette shares three powerful shifts: moving from busyness to bravery, adopting systemised thinking over reactive problem-solving, and transitioning from uncertainty to intentional strategy. Jeannette explains why: Leaders often confuse being busy with being productive. It's essential to prioritise long-term growth and make brave decisions that align with strategic goals Instead of reacting to problems repeatedly, leaders should identify patterns and create systems or processes that address root causes Uncertainty is a constant in business Leaders must make decisions based on their values and goals Taking time to reflect on priorities and decisions is crucial Leaders should regularly assess what tasks align with their strategic goals  Subscribe to Brave Bold Brilliant for weekly wisdom on leadership, legacy, and living boldly.

In this no-bullshido episode of Hoots on the Ground, Adam Hoots hangs out in Kyoto, Japan, with the one and only Thomas LaMay, a project leader at DPR Construction who's got Lean systems and people-first thinking down to a science. What starts as a chat about bucket list experiences at the International Group for Lean Construction (IGLC 33) turns into a full-on masterclass on designing better production systems—and better lives for the people doing the work. Thomas dives into the importance of caring for the people on the job, from the simple things (like clean port-a-potties and shaded break tents) to big ideas like integrating Mental Health First Aid, and team health assessments. The two explore how systems thinking, Last Planner System®, Takt planning, and location-based management aren't just tools—they're opportunities to make construction more human. Key takeaways include: Respect for people starts with the basics — Clean toilets, shaded break areas, and rest show genuine care for those doing the work. Design your system or someone else will — Intentional production systems (with flow, visual signals, and collaboration) beat chaos every time. Mental health is a safety issue — Treat it with urgency, awareness, and proactive tools like mental health first aid and daily empathy walks. This one's for every builder who gives a damn about people more than just deadlines. Because, as Thomas says, “If you don't design your production system, someone else will—and you may not like what they choose.”   ABOUT HOOTS ON THE GROUND PODCAST:The Lean Builder's absolutely, positively NO Bullshido podcast.

✅ Why Kobe chose carpool line over million-dollar meetings ✅ The "TEA" framework (Time, Energy, Attention) that will transform your fathering ✅ Simple practices like 10-minute wrestling time and Wine Wednesdays that create deep family connection FULL SHOW NOTES: SUMMARY Life moves fast, and without intentional direction, we can end up achieving things that don't actually matter. In this episode, John Olinger—former Nike executive and global brand director for Kobe Bryant—shares how tragedy, transition, and the halfway point of life led him to redefine success. You'll hear about his "TEA" framework (Time, Energy, Attention), why Kobe chose carpool line over meetings, and how simple practices like 10-minute wrestling sessions and Wine Wednesdays can transform your family relationships. TAKEAWAYS: Winning is subjective—you must define what success looks like for your family before you can achieve it Your Time, Energy, and Attention (TEA) are finite resources that must be strategically invested in what matters most The halfway point of life (around age 40) is a crucial inflection point for dads to pause and redirect toward meaningful priorities Quality connection moments with kids don't require huge time investments—10 minutes of wrestling or monthly birthday dates can be transformational Relationships matter more than accomplishments, and great stories require embracing challenge and difficulty Creating structured connection points (like Wine Wednesdays for marriage) protects what's most important from the chaos of daily life QUOTES: "Winning is subjective. And the only way you can win is if you get extremely clear about what it means to win." - John Olinger "We're under attack all day long from distractions, our brains playing tricks on us about what things are fulfilling in the moment, going after short hits of dopamine, chasing success and accomplishments at the expense of other things." - John Olinger "The reason why [Kobe] worked out at 4am was because he wanted to be there in the morning when his kids got up and before they went to school... At two o'clock, he's done. Hard stop. Why? He's got to go to the carpool line." - John Olinger "Can you just pause and say, what's one thing that's simple that I could apply to point into the relationships with the people that matter the most to me?" - John Olinger "If I'm halfway done, that means that every year for the rest of my life is gonna be between one and 2% of the remaining amount of my life. Do I wanna wait for later to do the things that are most important?" - John Olinger GUEST John Olinger is the author of "Worthy Wins: Pointing Your Life Toward What Matters Most" and a former Nike executive who served as global brand director for Kobe Bryant. After over a decade at Nike, John made a cross-country move with his family to Florida, choosing intentional fatherhood over corporate climbing. He and his wife have three boys (ages 10, 8, and 5) and are passionate about helping other parents define and pursue what truly matters most. John speaks and consults on leadership, purpose, and the intersection of success and significance.

Most people don't live intentionally. They live in reaction, running on autopilot and calling it normal. They wake up tired, scroll before breathing, and spend their day chasing urgency instead of protecting purpose. Intentional living doesn't happen by accident. It happens when you slow down long enough to choose what matters and cut what doesn't. It starts with clarity: knowing your values, defining your standards, and letting those things guide your time, energy, and decisions. Without intention, your emotions lead, your patterns repeat, and your potential stays buried under distractions. Every yes you say out of guilt, every habit you follow out of fear, every time you stay silent when you should speak that's unintentional living. But when you train yourself to pause, to think, to act from identity instead of insecurity, you start building a life you're proud of. You don't need to be perfect. You just need to stop abandoning yourself. Because every moment you move on purpose, speak with clarity, and follow through with integrity, you prove to yourself that you're no longer available for chaos. You're available for alignment. And that's where everything starts to change.   Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

This conversation delves into the significance of organizational culture, emphasizing its role in staff retention, employee engagement, and overall organizational health. Phil and Jim discuss the intentional strategies employed at High 5 to foster a positive culture, the importance of personal connections, and how challenges can test and strengthen that culture. They highlight the need for organizations to prioritize relationships and create environments conducive to growth, ultimately leading to a more engaged and committed workforce.   Culture is integral to what we do. Creating conditions suitable for growth is essential. Modeling good culture is more impactful than direct advice. Building connections and relationships is key to retention. Simple gestures can significantly enhance workplace culture. People leave jobs due to feelings, not just salary. Intentional strategies are necessary for fostering culture. Personal connections enhance team dynamics and morale. Culture is tested during challenging times, revealing its strength. A strong culture can coexist with financial success.
