“Making progress is soul-crusher free." "We can control how we react to it." "Assume positive intent."   Episode summary | In this conversation, Tim Leake, founder of Let's Lightbulb, discusses how to make work enjoyable and productive. He shares insights on creativity, collaboration, and the importance of humor in high-stakes environments. Tim emphasizes the need for leaders to be generous and supportive, creating a culture where everyone can thrive. He also highlights practical strategies for overcoming soul-crushing moments in the workplace and the ripple effect of generosity in leadership.   R.O.G. Takeaway Tips | Creativity and speed are unfair advantages in today's fast-paced world. Assuming positive intent can transform team dynamics. Humor and levity can create a psychologically safe environment. Generosity in leadership fosters deeper connections and opportunities. Collaboration requires structure to be effective and efficient. Soul crushers are often invisible but can be addressed through proactive measures. Listening is a critical skill for effective leadership. The more value you give away, the more it comes back to you. Creativity is essential for solving problems in any field.   Chapters |  00:00 Introduction to Tim Leake and Soulcrushers 01:41 The Courage to Create: Tim's TEDx Experience 05:24 The Concept of Soul Crushers and Their Impact 10:25 Empowering Work: Making Work Fun Again 15:58 Practical Strategies to Combat Soul Crushers 19:36 Creativity as a Core Element in Problem Solving 21:30 Leveraging Humor and Levity in Business 24:20 The Multifaceted Benefits of Fun in Work 25:51 The Impact of Fear on Communication 28:30 Creating Psychological Safety in Teams 32:45 The Power of Generosity in Leadership 37:37 Building Relationships Through Generosity 44:18 The Ripple Effect of Generosity 46:43 Sparking Creativity in Teams 48:21 The Importance of Listening in Leadership   Guest Bio | Tim is a founder, facilitator, and crusher-of-soul-crushers at Let's Lightbulb — a consultancy that helps leadership teams accomplish twice as much in half the time, through creative and strategic workshop facilitation.

"The Dragonfly Effect" by Jennifer Aaker and Andy Smith is a compelling guide on leveraging social media for social change. Named after the dragonfly, symbolizing efficient movement, the book outlines a clear roadmap for impactful social media strategies. There are four key elements that the book shares. The first key element is 'Focus,' emphasizing the importance of a single, clear goal and a focused message. The authors stress the need for clarity on both the objective and its significance. Next is 'Grab Attention,' advising on standing out in the crowded social media landscape. Aaker and Smith recommend using vivid storytelling, surprising facts, or emotional content to make messages memorable. Then, 'Engage' focuses on building a bridge between attention and action. The book delves into strategies for creating personal connections with the audience, using compelling narratives, interactive content, and fostering a sense of community. Finally, 'Take Action' guides on converting engagement into real-world impact. The authors offer practical tips to encourage the audience to take the next step, whether it's donating, volunteering, or spreading the word. "The Dragonfly Effect" is an insightful, practical guide combining persuasion psychology with social media power. With its emphasis on focus, attention, engagement, and action, the book provides a clear and concise roadmap for driving social change through strategic social media use.

Get more deals through the app DealMachine. David Lecko explains how it makes it easy to find and contact potential sellers. Welcome to Pillars of Wealth Creation, where we talk about building financial freedom with a special focus in business and Real Estate. Follow along as Todd Dexheimer interviews top entrepreneurs, investors, advisers and coaches. David created DealMachine in 2017 when he was new to real estate investing himself. He knew from reading that the best way to find off-market deals was to go driving for dollars and send direct-mail. He drove around, manually wrote down the addresses of distressed properties, and sent mail to the addresses he wrote down. One day, he realized he missed out on a deal because he failed to follow up with his leads. He knew he needed a solution to automate the process. So he wrote the first line of code that became DealMachine. Shortly after, he acquired his first rental property through driving for dollars and went on to build a $2 million rental portfolio with the DealMachine app. David also co-hosts the DealMachine Real Estate Investing Podcast, which helps listeners start their journey to financial freedom through real estate. 3 Pillars 1.

Dr. Amishi Jha studies meditation and its impact on our attention, stress levels, and performance. Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas study humor, and the power of a mindset of levity.
