A few years ago we had the pleasure of speaking with Jonathan Ogurchak about the success of his company STACK. Now we have invited him back to see how the business has progressed and learn about his new venture, Zeal Specialty Pharmacy.   As a pharmacist, Jonathan observed significant inefficiencies and a need to modernize processes. This set him on a course to develop and deliver better technology that would ultimately improve patient care. Today, he is a recognized serial entrepreneur, a leader in technology, and a man whose latest endeavor is centered on the delivery of medication to individuals with rare diseases.   Here are highlights of our conversation:   -An Update on STACK: The business has expanded its product offerings including a new product called On Queue, an operations workflow platform to enhance the pharmacy patient journey and capture valuable data. They now have customers in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Dubai.   -Healthcare Compliance: STACK software helps organizations manage compliance by providing easy access to regulations for different states and purposes and automating processes for accreditation, compliance, and training for pharmacies.   -Zeal's Branding Strategy: Jonathan explained the origin of the company name "Zeal" as a play on the term "zebra" in the medical community, representing rare and orphan diseases. The zebra also represents an effort to connect with patient communities through tasteful and purposeful branding.   -Advice for Founders: Finding a mentor and maintaining a network for personal and professional growth is critical for new founders. He shared his experiences as a business owner and entrepreneur, highlighting the need to foster a healthy balance between work and personal life. He shared the significance of family and prioritizing time with loved ones, as businesses and jobs can change but family remains constant.   -Building Culture:  Jonathan discussed the pharmacy's leadership development initiative, which includes a book club focused on customer service and growth. He mentioned the book "Unreasonable Hospitality" and the Disney Institute program. Jonathan also shared that he encourages team members to explore different industries for innovative ideas.         About the guest: Jonathan Ogurchak, PharmD, CSP, CPHIMS, is a specialty pharmacy veteran, having served in numerous roles across pharmacies, associations, and education for the last 15 years.   Currently, he is the CEO & Founder of STACK, a software firm with two commercially available platforms: its namesake, STACK, a pharmacy information management platform designed to curate and organize information necessary to run successful pharmacies, professional associations, and higher education institutions; and OnQueue, a workflow platform built to optimize the patient journey for pharmacies and clinics. He is also the CEO and co-founder of Zeal Specialty Pharmacy, an independent rare-disease pharmacy leveraging both the above technologies to create the best experiences possible for patients, prescribers, and pharma partners across the country.   Jonathan is an adjunct faculty through Duquesne University and the University of Pittsburgh, precepts pharmacy students virtually at 25 schools of pharmacy nationwide, focused on specialty pharmacy programs and processes, and his specialty pharmacy textbook is in pre-publication.   Connect with Jonathan: Website: https://www.managewithstack.com/ Website: https://www.zealsp.com/   Connect with Allison: Feedspot has named Disruptive CEO Nation as one of the Top 25 CEO Podcasts on the web, and it is ranked the number 6 CEO podcast to listen to in 2025! https://podcasts.feedspot.com/ceo_podcasts/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonsummerschicago/ Website: https://www.disruptiveceonation.com/    #CEO #leadership #startup #founder #business #businesspodcast  Learn more about your ad choices.

They discuss the importance of facing challenges and difficult moments in personal growth and how important it is not to avoid difficult situations.

Toward the end of their conversation, you'll hear Ed highlight the dangers of blindly following authority without questioning or understanding the underlying reasons. This theme ties perfectly into Jonathan's pursuit of self-authority as described in his book.

  In today's episode, Jonathan explores the three credentials of giving good advice: Relevant Experience: Emphasizing the importance of direct, hands-on involvement in situations akin to those the advice-seeker is facing, it's noted that real-life, practical experience in a specific area not only lends credibility but also deepens the impact of the advice given. For example, a parent who has firsthand experience in raising children is well-equipped to offer substantive advice on parenting. Professional Expertise and Knowledge: This credential focuses on theoretical knowledge and professional training. Advice in this category stems from formal education and continuous learning within a particular field. For instance, someone with a background in law school has a robust theoretical understanding of legal issues, which complements their practical insights and enables them to deliver comprehensive advice. Emotional Intelligence and Intuition: The ability to effectively read situations and people through emotional intelligence, offering advice that is empathetic and resonates deeply, is critical. This skill is crucial for grasping not only the factual aspects of a scenario but also the emotional dynamics that could affect the outcome. This type of advice, which relies on an intuitive understanding of people and contexts, is often the most overlooked and challenging to master. Tune in to the full episode to understand the full impact of these three prerequisites for good advice, particularly how the third type—emotional intelligence and intuition—is commonly underestimated yet critical.

In today's episode of Good Authority, Jonathan sits down with Silicon Valley legend Hiten Shah, founder of KISSmetrics, CrazyEgg, and host of The Hiten Show. Hiten discusses his unique approach to giving advice, emphasizing the importance of truly serving those he helps and his penchant for empathy over ego. He shares insights on the irony of advice-giving—people seek wisdom from those with experience, yet often lack sufficient context themselves. Throughout the episode, Jonathan reflects on his own journey toward becoming a more empathetic and effective advisor, highlighting the challenges of advising tech executives and the delicate balance of influence in coaching. They delve into the nuances of trust-building and the high stakes of making tough decisions, wrapping up with a discussion on the crucial role of self-awareness and clarity in leadership and communication. Key insights that you'll want to pay attention to are the interplay between experience and advice, the critical nature of trust in professional relationships, and the personal growth necessary for impactful leadership.   Connect with Hiten: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hnshah/ https://www.hiten.show/   Continue the conversation with Jonathan: Website: ⁠⁠⁠www.jonathanraymond.com⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Try Refound's AI Coaching Platform: ⁠⁠refound.com⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanrefound⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/jonathanrefound⁠

Glad you're with us really appreciate you taking the time to listen, hope you enjoy what you hear. And if you do, please give us a five star rating. And I'd love to hear your thoughts about it. Dr. Jonathan Marion believes that when we live, connect and communicate authentically, we send out ripples, which send out ripples. And that makes the world a better and more caring and connected place one ripple at a time, which is an interesting concept. And I can buy that. I've always believed that we plant seeds, but whether it's seeds or ripples, that amounts to somewhat the same thing. And the idea is you you never know what's going to happen from what you do. But when you're doing it in a caring and connected and authentic way, it's got to be a positive thing. And that helps make the world a better place. And Jonathan was a cultural anthropologist and still is trained as a cultural anthropologist. He's now a life coach. And he's also a guest here on unstoppable mindset. If you haven't guessed. So Jonathan, welcome to unstoppable mindset. We're glad you're here.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 02:28 Thank you so much, Michael. It's a pleasure to be here.   Michael Hingson ** 02:31 Well, lots obviously to think about and talk about, and we'll get to a lot of it. But I'd like to start with what I always think is kind of fun. Tell us about the early Jonathan, you know, growing up in some of those things that kind of led you a little bit to where you are or where you started, or whatever.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 02:47 You're, I had grown up just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, and sort of had one parent who was religiously observant, one who was more secular. And so I've sort of always lived somewhat in two different worlds. And I think that really set me up to then later on, as I went into academia, always be interested in social sciences. And just what did people think about and do the same and why and what did people think about and do differently and why. And then, after undergrad, I spent some time traveling, overseas, volunteered on a communal farm in Israel, traveled to several other countries. And when I got back to the States, and was starting to apply to different graduate programs, I ended up applying to eight schools. But after the fact, I realized it was an eight different disciplines and decided I needed a big umbrella. And that's where cultural anthropology came in. And it seemed like the biggest umbrella to me. And always having that sort of living in two worlds insider and outsider perspective, really took me down that track of becoming a cultural anthropologist. And so where did you do your undergrad work? My undergrad was at the University of Redlands in California, and I doubled majored in psychology and political philosophy at the time.   Michael Hingson ** 04:14 Cool. Well, you were in a place that had pretty decent climate overall.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 04:22 Absolutely, I'm a sun worshiper and was happy to get out of New England as nice as it is culturally, weather wise Southern California suited me much better   Michael Hingson ** 04:32 it is I hear you living here having lived in winter mass for three years and spent a good amount of time in the Massachusetts area. Love it, appreciated the snow and then later I lived in New Jersey of course also but I like the the weather of California course. I'm still convinced that the best weather in the country of San Diego but everybody likes what they like.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 04:55 I have to agree with you about San Diego and that's actually where I did both My masters and my PhD was at UC San Diego law. They're in La Jolla. Yep, you got it. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 05:06 Which is a wonderful place to be. So you got your PhD in cultural anthropology when you've settled on your umbrella and discipline, which is pretty cool. And then what did you do?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 05:20 Yeah, so specifically, the PhD was a subfield of cultural anthropology with psychological anthropology. So that permeable border between personality and culture. And for about six years after that, I was working as contingent faculty teaching part time at multiple campuses in the San Diego area. And then a lot of my work ended up in the field of visual anthropology. So both studying visual phenomena and culture, everything from architecture to performances, but then also the use of visual media to convey understandings that weren't amenable to words alone, and got hired as a visual anthropologist at the University of Arkansas, where I worked for over a decade before resigning from academia at the end of 22. Well, Arkansas   Michael Hingson ** 06:11 is quite the distance away from Southern California, different different weather,   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 06:17 different climates and multiple ways. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 06:20 well, that's true. That is true. Definitely different climates and multiple ways. Well, so you decided in 2022, to leave academia? Why did you decide that?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 06:32 Yes, so the decision actually started back in 2019, it was the end of 22. When I actually resigned, I was for the first half of 2019, in Brazil, doing research on sabbatical. And one of my best friends who lives in Rio de Janeiro, I was staying at his house, and very generously, my friend Toronto gave me you know, a small bedroom to use while I was there. And I was sitting in his living room one day, and it's not one of the touristy parts of Rio, it's one of the areas where only, you know, local people live. And I realized I was living in a bedroom that was smaller than my closet at home. But I felt more at home. And I started to ask myself, What was that about? And I realized that my very good friends in Brazil knew what I did professionally. And they were proud of me, they were proud for me. But they didn't really care. They loved me as Jonathan. And that was a type of connection and interpersonal warmth, that I was never going to get as long as I was in an arena where it was all about external accomplishments and achievements. And that's what had me realized that I needed to start exploring other options outside of academia.   Michael Hingson ** 07:54 What was the significance of the small bedroom? Why did you feel comfortable? There? Are why was that significant?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 08:02 Yeah, so it was just on its own, it didn't mean anything to me, I've traveled, you know, off and on throughout most of my life. And sometimes you have a big place, sometimes a little place. But it was just recognizing that it wasn't about the external measure, it was, this is a very small, humble bedroom, that smaller than the closet of my master suite at my own house. And yet, I feel more at home in this small space. But because of the quality of the relationships, it wasn't about the space, it was about the place that was made by the relationships that were there.   Michael Hingson ** 08:37 Make sense? And then, of course, surrounding yourself, or having the opportunity to be surrounded by people who really care about you, who value you has to be something that's extremely positive and brings a lot of joy and a lot of comfort in a lot of ways.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 08:57 Absolutely. And it was part of the thinking then of, you know, what are the options, I have to live in a way where that's what's prioritized, and not the you know, sort of publish or perish paradigm? Yeah, in academia in a tenure track position with tenure by that point. And I didn't want to be living in a setting where it was just about what are your latest, you know, publications and presentations, and funding, and just those external measures of worth?   Michael Hingson ** 09:35 Yeah. And it's so unfortunate that we put so much emphasis on a lot of those things. It goes beyond just academia and so on. I know many people who talk about companies and talk about the businesses they were in I actually had a chance recently to talk to a man who is was a hotelier for 25 years. And he talks now about the time of the pandemic, and what has happened to hotels and the travel and tourist industry since then. And he said, it's gotten very cold, people don't value things the same way. It's all about how much money are we pulling in. And that's all there is to it, rather than necessarily putting as much emphasis on the guest as we used to, or even more important, putting as much emphasis on the employees as we used to. So he's actually creating a new structure, that he wants to start in the hotel industry, that would create an environment where the employees, assuming a particular hotel, under this umbrella would would profit that the employee should get part of the profits. And so he wants to institute a profit sharing thing, just kind of amazed me that I hadn't ever heard of that in the hotel industry as such before, don't know whether it ever was there. But his point was, people are going to be a lot more fun, people are going to be a lot more joyous and make guests feel more welcome. If they're feeling welcome and a part of what they're doing.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 11:12 Absolutely, it's the basic idea of you know, if people are proud of what they do happy about what they do invest in what they do. For them, it's employment, but they're the ones who are actually providing the experience directly to the guests.   Michael Hingson ** 11:29 Yeah, I mean, it's a job, yes, it's a job. But it can either be a fun job and a job you like, or it's just a job that brings in money, which means that you're not putting the same amount of commitment and, and joy and love into it. Absolutely, which is, you know, something that makes a lot of sense to understand. Well, so you decided to take the plunge and leave academia and do what?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 11:57 So I thought about it. And at least in the model in the United States, as a tenured faculty member, 40% of your job is research. And it was like, okay, I'm good at academic research and publishing, but I don't love it. So I don't want to do that. 20% is professional service. So professional leadership. And you know, I've been President of national organizations good at it, but I don't love it. And 40% is teaching. Within that, though, so much of it is following the sort of top down assigned learning outcomes and things like that. And the part of teaching that I always loved was the informal parts, the 15 minutes before or after class where students had their own questions about how different ideas we were talking about applied in their lives, or to circumstances they had heard about, or working with my graduate students, my MA and my PhD students, where I don't run a lab, it's not about you're doing a sub project of mine, it's, I'm helping you figure out what are your questions, and how you're going to find answers for yourself to your own questions. And the more I thought about that, that was life coaching. So I've ended up shifting over into the space of transformational life coaching, consulting and speaking as a result.   Michael Hingson ** 13:23 You know, I've been in sales. Basically, most all of my adult life, I learned a lot about sales from a Dale Carnegie sales course that I needed to take, because I had been given a choice of leaving a company from doing non sales type stuff, either leaving the company or going into sales, and, as a result, wanting to learn about it. And what I learned is that the best salespeople really are teachers. And what that means is that they love what they do, but they also know that they have to oftentimes teach customers, what they're selling, and why they're selling it. And even analyze, does that product work for you, and also having the courage oftentimes to be honest enough to say, that won't work, or this is, why it will or whatever. And I find that to be the most rewarding thing that I've ever been able to do in sales. And of course, since September 11, now I get to sell life and philosophy. So it still amounts to the same thing, but now selling the concepts from the other side, but I hear exactly what you're saying about teaching and the real important parts of teaching and we, we put so many stringent requirements that don't really add a lot of value, that it makes it a lot more difficult. One of the things that I've learned as a manager is my best job as a manager is not to boss somebody around, but rather how can I add value to make sure that You are being as successful as you can be. And we have to figure out ways to work together. And I found that the salespeople who really got that concept, were very successful because we've had off each other, we worked together, I added value to what they did, the people who didn't get it, and who wouldn't be open to maybe looking at doing some things differently that might have enhanced them didn't succeed nearly as well. And again, it's all about teaching.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 15:25 Makes total sense to me. So   Michael Hingson ** 15:27 it was, it was a lot of fun to do. So you've just been doing coaching for this year, basically,   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 15:35 I had actually started doing it within the last few years of being in academia, it was just that I was also still working as an academic through the end of 22. And so now full time, I'm doing the coaching and consulting and speaking on related topics.   Michael Hingson ** 15:57 Where's home for you now?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 15:59 Actually, since beginning of 21, no beginning of 20. Yeah, beginning of 22. Sorry, I've been a full time nomad. Okay. So I, because I'm now doing the coaching and not the academics, I don't have to be in one location. And so taking advantage of that to get to travel a lot more, especially as I'd mentioned before that in the first half of 22, I'd been down in Brazil, doing research. And also part of my research was on the dance form of Brazilian Zouk. But then, in November of 2019, I'd had a bad spinal injury and nerve damage. And for five weeks, I couldn't even roll over on a side. I mean, I was close to paralyzed. And I was just starting to walk unassisted again when the pandemic hit. And so as someone who used to always travel and used to be very involved in movement, once I had the opportunity to not be tied down to the location of the university, I've really been traveling a lot to get back into dancing and training and just interacting with people in different places. And a way that I wasn't able to when I was linked to a job that was very location based.   Michael Hingson ** 17:21 So you don't really have a formal house or anything at this point. Nope, have   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 17:26 nots. In almost two years right now, I will actually be aiming to return to having a home base somewhere, probably in the second quarter of 24. And looking to relocate my home base actually over to Portugal.   Michael Hingson ** 17:47 Not Santiago, but that's okay. Yeah, but   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 17:50 if you look at, you know, geographic parallels southern Portugal, the Algarve is basically the San Diego region of the European continent. So that works for me.   Michael Hingson ** 18:03 I've not been to Portugal, I've been to Spain, but not to Portugal. But I understand what you're saying. But I love San Diego still so much. I, I was a nomad a little bit for a job back in 1976, because I was hired to work with the National Federation of the Blind and Ray Kurzweil and developing a reading machine for the blind. And literally, I lived out of suitcases in hotels for 18 months to work at various sites. So I'm familiar with the concept. I think that doesn't work for me as much. Now I like to be in one spot. And I think for me, probably a good thing with all the things going on. And the fact that the pandemic is still around, it's good to be able to lock down in a comfortable place. But again, that's me. And that's now a long time later from what I did before. But I uproot, but I appreciate the fun and the value of   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 18:59 it. Yeah, absolutely. And I think there's part of me that again, it's probably linked to the cultural anthropology, like I do, like just encountering people where they live and I don't love doing the travel version, where I just hit tourist sites, I like to actually, you know, sort of situate myself where local people live and spend, you know, a couple of weeks there and just really get the feel of what is life like here and that just I find that very interesting and enriching, rewarding to just start to understand what it's like for people in different locations. And what did people still think about and do in similar ways and what in different ways, and that they all make sense.   Michael Hingson ** 19:45 As a public speaker, I have always enjoyed times when I could interact with people, not just who set up an event but really talk with the people in the area where the events taking place. And again, not the tourist as you point out, but the people who live there. And I've learned to value, for example, every part of this country, because I find that if you're friendly to people, again, going back to the ripple concept, if you connect in our friendly, I find that people are in fact, once I spent time in New York over several months, a number of times, and I was it was back when 42nd street and all the area around times square wasn't as nice as it is today. And people would say to me, aren't you worried about being outside? And I go, why? Uh, well, you know, there are some not nice people, I said, Well, only if you don't treat them nicely. And I found that I personally was able to get along with everyone. I never did get up to Harlem and spend time there, although I still would like to do that. But I've been to some pretty rough areas, and I find that people aren't going to bother you and be obnoxious to you, if you don't bother them or not obnoxious to them. And if you treat them well, they're going to treat you well. I've always believe that.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 21:12 I think you know, in general, that's so true in general. Yeah, no, I mean, obviously, everywhere, there are exceptions, as a way of going about things that makes so much sense to me. And just going back to that ripples idea. So many of us have heard of ROI, as you know, return on investment, the version that I heard that's always resonated for me is ripples of impact. So whatever I'm doing, however, I'm showing up, I'm looking for ripples of impact. And with that idea of, you know, it then impacts other people and who knows what ripples they then send out and how that impacts other people. And that's why I think that's so important for creating a more caring and connected world.   Michael Hingson ** 21:59 And it is about caring, and showing that you care. And showing that you care is an enlarged part of how you treat people and how you act and react around people. It isn't something where you got to show great care by giving a Contribution to somebody for $1,000 or something, it really still gets down to basically connection, doesn't it? Absolutely. Yeah. And I think that makes a lot more sense. So what do you do now? In terms of your job as a transformational life coach and consultant? And what do you speak about? Probably all related?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 22:36 Yep, absolutely. I primarily work with professionals who are accomplished by external measures, but find themselves wanting to live connect and communicate more authentically, in order to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives. And this really goes back to that idea that how we show up matters, and whether as individuals or as groups, communities, organizations, and so now I do my work as a coach, consultant speaker to really be a catalyst for exactly such transformations.   Michael Hingson ** 23:13 So where do you speak,   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 23:17 really anywhere that people are interested. So it's been to some nonprofits, it's been in house, to some different organizations, it's been at a couple of retreats. And if people find the topics, or subjects that I am interested in and feel like I can really add some value as compelling for them, then I don't want to just go around and repeat my message, I want to find out, how will it be valuable and most valuable to you and your people or your audiences, and to really try and tailor it accordingly.   Michael Hingson ** 24:03 And I think that's the only way to really be a successful speaker. As I tell people when they're talking to me about speaking somewhere, I customize every talk, I really want to know what you're looking for What messages do you want to send, because I think it's extremely important not to get locked into just giving some speech every time. Everyone wants to hear the September LeBrons story. But what I get to do is surround that with content that's specifically relevant and I think that's the only way to do it. Absolutely. And it's more fun.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 24:40 Absolutely, because I already know my own stories and my own background, and I get bored if I'm just repeating it as if it's, you know, rote memorization, but when it's how can I meet you where you are and share what I have to share in a way that actually matters and has an impact for you. That's why I'm doing it, it's not to hear myself say the same thing again. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 25:04 And there are going to be parts of it, that will be saying the same thing again. But it's more fun when you can put it in a context that people appreciate. I love to know that I'm drawing an audience in. And I've learned in my speeches, to sometimes use some specific kinds of things that have taught me when I say something, if the audience is really connected, they'll react in a certain way. And when I hear that, then I know I'm really connected. And if I don't hear that, then I need to go figure out what to change as I'm talking with them to draw them in. Because I think we don't talk or we shouldn't view ourselves as talking to an audience. We should be talking with an audience. Absolutely. And it's a different context. But it was always the same way. For me when I was teaching in academic settings. I was never someone who wanted to stand in front of a classroom and just, you know, essentially project Yeah, profess information. It was, you know, how can I meet you where you are, and ignite your passion and figure out where I can add value by helping you understand more than you could on your own? Not just delivering content? It's adding value once again. Absolutely. I had a calculus professor who came in every day, and he just started writing on the board. And he said, From this, we get, and it turned out that what he was really doing was just parroting what was in the book was calculus and analytic, analytic geometry by Thomas. Anyway, he just parroted the book. And he mostly just wrote on the board, and I counted one day, he said, 50 words during the whole class. And every time when he wasn't saying anything, I'd raised my hand. And I kept saying, Would you, please describe more of what you're doing, and it was like pulling teeth to get him to do it. But as the year went on, he got a little bit better. And students in the class that was freshman college, students were mocking him, one guy brought in a helium balloon with a paperclip. So he could put it at a height and he would just push it up in front of the professor. And the professor turns around, and this balloons right in front of him, and he's lecturing to the balloon doesn't even react to it, and other things happen during the class. But I got him finally to do more talking than he did at the beginning. And then at the end of the year, I passed, I got an A in calculus, but he called me into his office, and I'm going, Oh, what happened? Now? I go in, and he said, I gotta tell you, I really appreciate you and what you did, because I could not understand why students were really not interested in what I had to say. And he said, I realized that I wasn't talking. I wasn't engaging with them. And when I started doing that, it made a world of difference. And it does, it's all about connecting again. And so yeah, it's it's again, it's kind of one of those things. So what kind of clients do you get? And kind of? What have you been able to do? I'd love to hear a story about how you've helped change someone in the way they work.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 28:16 Sure. So again, I primarily work with people who are accomplished by external measures. And so accomplished could mean anything, because it could be anyone from a school teacher to a CEO, I'm just talking about in whatever field they are. If you look at it as an outsider, you say, yeah, they're good at what they do. They're, you know, not someone who's just breaking into the field or switching. And it's sort of what I lived myself, right. I was accomplished in academia. I was award winning, you know, author and lecturer. But it wasn't something where I truly felt like I was leading a meaningful and fulfilling life. And so I think, a lot of coaching, you know, when it's done well, you're speaking from your own experience in your own journey, probably most good speaking as well. And so a great example. Charles Davidson is the founder of a nonprofit, which is now rebranded and that came about through my coaching with him. It had a different name before but it's now innovations and peacebuilding International. And in coaching with him, we really got a lot of clarity about, you know, what he was doing as an academic, what he was doing with his nonprofit, where things were in his personal life and what were the things that really mattered to him. And he just got so much clearer on, you know, where he was, where he wanted to be, how he wanted to get there, what he needed to do to start that we base simply did a six month coaching engagements. And part of my calling myself a transformational life coach is, I'm not looking to be your coach for two or three years. I'm always available to you for support at any point. But I want to equip you to change things to transform, and be able to go forth on your own. And so when I followed up with him three months after we finished our coaching engagement, he told me that they had three times as much in the bank for the nonprofit, as they had when we started. He and I never talked about money strategies. That's not what I coach on. But he got so much clarity about what he was doing that he restructured the board, he renamed the nonprofit. And then when I followed up with him later, a year after we finished, they had 10 times in the bank, we also never spoke about physical fitness. I'm not a coach for that. But when I talked to him, at the end of our engagement, he said he dropped 15 pounds, just because he was so clear on what he was doing the life he wanted to live, what mattered to him, that it just happened. And so those are the types of transformations that I really am always looking to make. And it's not to say that the results will be the same for everyone. But if I can really walk beside you holding a flashlight to help you decide which direction you want to go, then that's what my job is. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 31:30 And that makes so much sense. And the issue really is that you need to if you're being coached, or if you're looking at yourself, it's important to really look at yourself and to think about what you're doing, and do self analysis. Because even you as a coach, you can't change someone, they have to do it, they have to want to do it. But all you can do is to help show them the way but it all comes down to it seems to me that, that you have to as the individual involved, look at yourself, do some introspection, and make some decisions as to how to move forward. And that's something as you say, you don't always get the same results from people. But I would suspect a lot of times if it doesn't work out? Well. It's because they don't catch on to doing real self introspection and self examination.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 32:22 Absolutely. And so the parallel I gave earlier to working with, you know, especially say my PhD students, my job is to help you get clarity on what are your questions to help you get clarity on? How are you going to find answers to your own questions. And so it's the same thing as a life coach, I'm helping you figure out what are the things that you really want to figure out for yourself? And how are you going to go about doing that for yourself? If I just give you a paint by numbers? What what do you care about that? Why should you care about that? It's nice, but it's nothing about what matters to you.   Michael Hingson ** 33:01 Right? And you won't progress and you won't value it. And even if something sort of accidentally happens, and you're sitting there going, well. Why did that happen? What what accidentally made that happen, and you don't catch on to what really is involved. And what's really important,   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 33:19 is exactly your life isn't transformed, which means I really haven't done that much to support you as a person. And   Michael Hingson ** 33:27 that doesn't mean that it's your fault as the coach, if someone isn't really willing to take the time to think and analyze for themselves. And I am such a fan of introspection, I think that people should take time every evening before they fall asleep to think about themselves in their lives and what they did today, how did this go? Why could this have been better? Or could it have been better and all of that? If we really take a hard look, it isn't such a hard look, once you really start to practice it.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 34:00 That's quite true. And at the same time, I'm not the best coach for every person, right? We all have different styles. And so I want to have a conversation, whether it as a coach, whether I'm a consultant for you, whether I'm a speaker, if your organization is actually a good fit, and let's make sure that you have the best fit for you the same as I want that for myself.   Michael Hingson ** 34:25 So, I'm assuming that there are probably times that you felt you weren't the best fit for someone, do you help them find another coach or how does that work? Absolutely. So   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 34:35 if I know someone in my network, who I think might be a better fit, than I absolutely make the direct recommendation, if I don't, but I know someone who might I ask if they want me to inquire and if either they don't or I don't know someone then I explained to them and describe to them what I think it sounds like they're looking for and any leads They have any suggestions for where they might be better suited to find someone who I think will actually support them?   Michael Hingson ** 35:07 Again, they have to really want to do it. But you don't have control over that. No. Which is, which is understandable? Well, you know, in, in our world today, we have a lot of social pressure to achieve and be successful. And whatever that may mean, but how do we deal with the reorg? How can we reorganize and change what we do to deal with all of the social pressures? And you talked about that in terms of what you had to do as an academic and the pressures that were there with publisher perish and other things like that? How do we change that?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 35:53 Yeah, so I think there's two really important pieces to that. And I thank you for the question. So I think the first piece that is really important is to understand that as human beings, we only have one nervous system. And it was one that was evolved to deal with, you know, short term, high stakes, life and death types of threats. And so, you know, fight or flight, or then if you've had in the freeze or fawn responses, you know, those are all evolutionarily developed to deal with major confrontational situations, like, you know, go around the corner, and there's a big barrier there. Well, yeah, that gives you this huge spike of all these stress hormones, so that you can respond and deal with it. But the situation then resolves itself, and then all of those hormones can drain out of your system. Whereas the things that we get stressed about today, are ongoing. They're the traffic, there's the competing pressures between different relationship responsibilities and work responsibilities, and coworkers who may or may not be doing what you think they're part of a project is, and so when do we ever have a chance for that to all sort of dissipate? And we really don't? And I think that that's a large part of the problem. And so then how do we reorient and focus, I think, is about shifting from concentrating on, you know, achieving from the what, from the doing to the how in the being. And so an expression I heard when I was younger, that has always stuck with me, is life is only 10%, how we make it, but it's 90%, how we take it. And I think we can always ask and choose how we want to be whether more generally such as if I take this job, how do I want to be in this job? If I have these people in my social network? How do I want to be with them? Or it can be in a given moment or situation such as, how do I want to be in this given conversation in this given negotiation. And that's something we can always choose?   Michael Hingson ** 38:20 Interesting way to put it in that it is a choice. There's so much social pressure to do and achieve and so on. Typically, why does that cost so much stress? And we put ourselves in that position, a lot of the time, why does it cost so much stress?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 38:38 Yeah, so again, I think that goes back to the fact that there isn't a secondary nervous system for social pressure. And so we don't have a second nervous system. That's different for the ongoing lower stakes social interactions. And as such, we have this constant pressure of doing an achieving that leaves our brains swimming in this stew of stress hormones. And again, it doesn't dissipate, if there's a big bear. Either I get away, I bonk it on the head with a rock, I freeze and it loses interest. And then all of that goes out of my system. And we don't have that. And I also think this is where the issue of social support versus access starts to show up as very narrow models of what counts as achieving get used very indiscriminately. So you've spoken about some of this dynamic before and that you know, what counts is a disability is actually a social issue. So why for instance, is it a disability when someone in a wheelchair can't reach something on a high shelf unassisted? But it's not a disability when it's a young child unable to reach the same item or a sharp person? Sure, absolutely. And the point is that it's really, you know, what are the frameworks because as human beings, we're social organisms, we're social beings. And so do we actually feel like we belong, like there's support, like there's allowances, or not. And so a great example of this from my former career in cultural anthropology comes from an ethnographic film, the bird dancer, and the film showcased is ghostie, you sort of teeny, who's a young Balinese woman with what we in the West would label as Tourette syndrome. And as the film shows, so powerfully, the actual cause of her suffering is not her symptoms, but it's the attitudes of those around her who feel she should be different. And I think that's really the key to this. Anytime you have a should you're fighting with what is. And so I think if anytime, we can catch ourselves saying should weather about, I should work out more, I should eat healthier, my boss should recognize my work, my partner should acknowledge my contributions. If we just replaced that with could, I could eat healthier, I could work out more, my boss could recognize my efforts. I could have my efforts recognized by my partner, then we can say, okay, but am I or am I not? And then I can choose how I want to be coming back to that issue of   Michael Hingson ** 41:33 choice. And you can also say, Okay, I can't do that I could do that. How do I do it? And it gets back to analysis and examination again?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 41:43 Absolutely. And it goes back to that how versus just the what?   Michael Hingson ** 41:47 Now, I'm not an expert on bears, but my mindset and my mental attitude also says, gee, is there any chance to become friends with the bear? And I don't know the answer to that.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 42:03 I don't either. And again, I'm talking at the very general level about what is our nervous system primed for that said, you know, if it's a bear that's grown up around humans who are not a threat to it, then chances are that it's not going to be that dangerous, unless it's provoked.   Michael Hingson ** 42:25 Or unless you just exude fear and animal sense that, and then the result is that that has some impact on it, I don't know. But I would presume that it's possible to become friends with a baron. Likewise, what it also means is, when you come across these things that are just overwhelming, you can learn and choose to let it overwhelm you or take a more strategic approach. I'm writing a new book, it's called Live like a guide dog, and it's about my growing up, and being surrounded by dogs. Basically, most all of my life, I started when I'm 14 with my first guide, dog, Squire. And it's about lessons I've learned. Because I realized at the beginning of 2020, I talked a lot about the past about the World Trade Center, and escaping without being afraid, but I've never really taught anyone how to do that. And so this book is going to start to work to teach people how to control fear, and how to use fear as a very powerful tool to assist you rather than allowing yourself to be as I say it blinded by or overwhelmed by fear.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 43:46 Nice, that sounds super interesting. I look forward to reading it.   Michael Hingson ** 43:49 It'll be out next July or August. It's we've got a publisher, and they've been working on it. And we've even gone through the copy editing and all that. And there's another round coming up of that. But it's, it's kind of fun. And every time we get the book back, they either have questions, or we find a few little things to tweak. That's okay. I understand that's part of the publishing process. We did that with underdog when wrote that in 2011. But fear is is a very powerful tool that can be the bear or it can be a nice, friendly puppy dog. That nevertheless, can be something that you have to deal with, but you can which will be kind of fun to you know, to get through. So in general, how would you advise people or what would you advise people about dealing with the overwhelming kinds of conditions and stresses that we face? How do you help people change what they do and become more able to cope with that?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 44:56 Yeah, so I really sort of break it down in my head to sort of three categories. And so the first one I had mentioned briefly, which is I think it's so important to start with what actually is. So not the stories we tell ourselves not the internalized projections. But so first and the one I already mentioned is could not should, because again, anytime I'm saying something should be a certain way, I'm fighting with what actually is. The second one is recognizing responsibility, and not blame. So for example, if someone's supposed to pick up their kids at school, but there's, you know, an accident and they can't get there, they're not to blame for not picking up their kids. But that doesn't mean they're not responsible. So then they need to make some phone calls and arrange for it to happen. And so I think all too often when we're dealing with, whether it's other people, or even how we talk to ourselves, we always go to blame. And that's not constructive versus responsibility, which then invites. Okay, so now what do I need to do or what needs to happen. And the third part of that, starting with what is framework is interest, not intention. And I'm not talking about for ourselves, it's one thing to have an intention of, here's what I want to do, here's how I want to show up. When we're dealing with other people, if we're dealing with them with an intention of how they're going to respond, that's not fair, because they're going to respond however they do. And if it's, I'm going to show up in the way I want to, I'm going to do what I think is appropriate, or is authentic to me, and I'm interested to see what comes from that I'm interested where that takes us, that's very different from I have an intention for how someone else is going to respond, or how a situation is going to unfold. So those are the three parts for me of starting with what is the next part of the mental, you know, sort of model I use is the strategic level. And I use Bing as an acronym, and happy to go into any of it in more detail. But just to sort of give the umbrella level view, the first part, B of B for being is begin where you are. And I think all too often, people sort of rushed to where do they want to go? Well, you can't navigate on a map, if you don't know where you're starting your GPS can't guide you anywhere, if it doesn't have a signal that it can pinpoint where you are to begin with. E is for explore where you want to go. Because it's one thing to sort of say, oh, yeah, I'm gonna apply for the promotion. But why is it really what's going to suit you, maybe it's gonna give you more money, but does it take more time. So you can't actually spend the money for save the time with family, which is what you really wanted, right? The AI is for investigate your options. Because once you know where you are, and you know where you want to go, there's never just one way to get there. What are the different ways to get there, which ones have served you in the past, which ones appeal to you now, and really investigate that so that you figure out what's the best way for you. And is for now start because I think all too often we get trapped with trying to make sure it's all planned out perfectly. And and think about like the book you were just describing and I've you know, written books as well, if you wait for it to be perfect before you submit it to a publisher, it'll never get published. It's you start it, you get it to a point, you send it out. And then it's an iterative process to, to hone it in to be the best. And so starting is so important. And especially with the pressure to achieve the trap of perfectionism, so often prevents people from even starting. And the g of being is get your best life. And I don't mean that everything's done and it's complete. But all too often we're so busy chasing and trying to achieve that we don't actually recognize the changes we've made. We don't appreciate what we've learned along the way and how we're now equipped to always do that for ourselves going forward. So that's the second one, the strategic level. And the third and final part I use as sort of the tactical one. And it's the simple question, which I mentioned before of how do I want to be as a question because again, I can ask it, you know, bigger Situations, Relationships overall, I can ask it regarding this very conversation. And every once in a while life is so overwhelming or this stakes are so high emotionally, that even that gets challenging. And then I turned to a version of it that I labeled future casting. And so we've all had that situation where whether it's two hours from now, two weeks, two months, I go, Oh, I wish I had said I wish I had done. And so when it's really overwhelming, I asked myself, Okay, what does five year for me, Jonathan, wish I would have said or done right now? When I look back on this in the future, how will I have wanted to respond? And it may not be easy to do. But it's usually pretty simple to figure out. And once I know what that is, then that's what I do. And that's what I coach people. So start with what is strategically use the being model and then tactically, how do I want to be in future cast if necessary?   Michael Hingson ** 50:52 You ever get people who say, Gee, that sounds like a lot of work? And it's pretty complicated.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 51:00 Yes, ish. When you're just talking to people about like, what's involved, then sure I get that. But the whole point is, it's not, I write down a list of these things right handed to you and say, Come talk to me and half a year, it's, here's the model we're going to be following. But again, it's a model, it's a map, it doesn't mean that you're locked into anything. It's a framework. And just like any really expert cook, you know, they do it sort of on the fly, they know all of the strategies, but they can combine things on the spot. It's not No, I have to absolutely, you know, follow the written version through and through every single time. That's not the point. And so it's here's the model, but we're going to spend the time I'm going to be walking beside you shining that flashlight on each piece of this, so that you can just concentrate on figuring it out. I'm the one who has to hold the model in mind, I'm the one who has to make sure that it's working for you. And that we take longer where you need longer to process, and that the parts that you fly through, we don't stay spending time just because it's in the model.   Michael Hingson ** 52:21 What do you find, though, for people who follow the model who work with you, and you coach, as you go forward, and the more time you spend with them does adhering to the model or properly utilizing the model becomes easier for them because they're developing the muscle?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 52:42 Absolutely. And again, it's an acronym to make it easy to remember. And you know, it's up. The being one is up on my website. And you know, it's something we talk about. But again, if that language doesn't work for them, I don't care. It's not about the actual wording. It's just a framework, if they want to call it something else in their head, and that's what works for them. Then in our interactions, I'm going to use their language, I'm going to use sure if a framework works for them. It's just something that was really resonant for me. And the vast majority of people who I work with, they like it, and it has some resonance for them. But again, it's only a model, it's not anything that's cast in stone, it's not the answer to anything, right?   Michael Hingson ** 53:36 It's not the model. It's the concept. And it's However, anyone does it, it's it's still finding the way to get to address the issues that the model essentially brings up, whether you call it the model or use the language or whatever, it's still basically dealing with the concepts that you're trying to get people to understand. And, and analyze and do something with, right?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 54:07 Absolutely. And I think as a general framework, it makes sense to people like you begin where you are, you figure out where you want to go, you figure out how you're gonna get there. Once you have that you actually have to start. And the whole point is to get where you're going. Like, yeah, that's pretty easy.   Michael Hingson ** 54:23 Yeah. It's a concept and it makes perfect sense. So however, people want to phrase it and everybody likes to use their own words. So a lot of people do. That's okay. As you said, it's still the basic concept that you're really addressing.   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 54:37 Absolutely.   Michael Hingson ** 54:39 So having been in the anthropology, academia world for a long time, how does that work into what you're doing now as a life coach?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 54:51 Yeah, it's really interesting because it informs it in ways that I didn't even realize it was going to when I was first training you As a coach, the one way that I think it shows up more than any other is, as a cultural anthropologist, when I go to study, you know, different cultural groups. The whole point is, I'm not the expert. I'm there to be a student and learn from them. Why they do things the way they do, how do they think about it? What does that framework do for them? And so that's what I do as a coach at an individual level. That's what I do as a consultant. With organizations, I'm not the expert in you, you're the expert and you, I'm here to learn, what's your framework, what's your model, and then just have the ability as an outsider to reflect that back, so that you can use that however you want to. So that's the biggest way. The next one is the idea of ethnocentrism. And so many people have heard of it. And there's sort of the popular version of taking for granted that your way is the best. Well, that's a problematic version. But it's not the most problematic because it's acknowledging that other people have other ways of thinking about and doing things. The insidious version is taking for granted, that your way of thinking about things or doing things is the only possibility. And so I can the same way as I would teach, you know, students about ethnocentrism, I can do the same thing with different clients, it's, well, maybe the way you think about it isn't the best maybe the way you think about it isn't the only one. I'm not trying to present any other specific version, but just give that framework for maybe there are other ones, which then comes up to that idea of cultural relativism, which is that how different people think about and do things is what makes sense from within their own framework. And I think the underlying idea here is no one on the planet wakes up in the morning, and says, This makes no sense. I'm going to do it that way. They may think the options that they are aware of are all bad ones, but they're still picking the one that they think is least bad. And so it's understanding that there is a logic to what everyone does. And so if rather than coming with an accusatory How could you think that I can do it from genuine curiosity of how can you think that because there's clearly a way to do it, then I can understand different frameworks, and take them as seriously as the ones I'm more familiar with. And I can work with you to help you be able to do that as well. The next one is sort of the holistic perspective, which is nothing is in isolation. Nothing is divorced from everything else. It's not necessarily connected to everything, but it's part of a bigger picture. And so while one thing may be troubling you or there may be one area in your life that you're looking to, you know, adjust or there may be one part of the business that doesn't seem to quite be coming together the way you want. The fact is, it's still linked to other ones, and let's look at where it fits in. So that we're really addressing the whole system and not just a piece in isolation. And the next one would be the idea of generalizations versus stereotypes. And I take this from a medical anthropologist, Marianne Galante, who the human brain recognizes patterns. That's part of what we're good at. But the difference that she's drawing is, a stereotype is saying, I know something about you. And that's the end of what I am thinking, I think I then know everything. A generalization is saying, Oh, I know something, I recognize a pattern. It's the beginning, I asked, might this be applicable to you? So say, someone who's a patient in a hospital setting? And I know their religious background, rather than saying, Oh, you're from this background, therefore, I know what your dietary restrictions are. I say, Oh, I see you're from this background, are these restrictions are actually things that we need to look at for you. And so it's using it as a beginning point, not as an ending point. And the final one would be around different types of isms. And you know, people can have prejudice in every single direction. But the idea is that there's a difference between just having prejudices versus prejudices plus power. And so really recognizing power differentials. And you know, how those show up are things that especially with some of my consulting work, I can really lie you know, rely on my anthropology background to help, you know, point out where those things may be exerting an influence in ways that not everyone is aware of and therefore they can be much more intentional about how they're actually interacting with people and showing up and enter and you know, doing things.   Michael Hingson ** 1:00:10 I love being a student. And I feel that if I ever stop learning, then there's something wrong with me. And I love asking questions. And as I tell people in the sales world, I never liked to ask close, close ended questions. It always has to be open ended questions I don't like yes and no answers to things because I want more information. And I think it's important to always look that way. So I, I resonate with the things that you're saying, which are, I believe, really pretty cool. You mentioned disabilities earlier, which prompts something that I'm sure you've heard me talk about on some of the episodes you listen to tell me a little bit about diversity. And you talk about coaching beyond diversity? What do you think about diversity as a cultural anthropologist, and why do you talk about coaching beyond that?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 1:01:02 Absolutely. So I think we actually share some objectives on this. And so while I'm a cultural anthropologist, it's still under the larger umbrella of anthropology. And so I really want to borrow from some of the Biological anthropologists here. And so I look at human diversity the same way I do biological, the same way I look at biological diversity, it just is, it's a fact it exists. And then the question is, where do we go from there? Do we think and act in ways that appreciate respect and honor diversity? Or do we take it for granted ignore it, or even worse, denigrate or degrade it? So just as you can't grow every plant in the same conditions, not all people thrive in the same conditions, and just as bright direct light on one plant, you know, it needs to thrive with harm and other, so too, with any one size fits all approach to people. And so because of your work in this space, I'm sure you've heard, you know, the different versions of te di D, B be the one that I heard that made the most sense to me, and that I work with, and that I'm sort of referencing when I talk about coaching beyond diversity is JT di, or Jedi? And so growing up when I did, you know, the Jedi were the defenders of what was right in the universe. And the j stands for justice. And it's just what is the right thing to do. And it's about valuing and protecting all. And it's not, you know, PC for the sake of saying it. And one of the things I really, I'm not saying there's no value to it, but I really do get upset by it at the same time, is when I hear people talk about the positive business outcomes of being more aware and sensitive to these issues. Not that that doesn't matter. Not that those things aren't true. But I don't think the reason to take these things seriously is because of business outcomes alone, that should be a byproduct. If it's not about what's the just thing to do in the first place, then I think we have a bigger problem we need to address address as a society. The ie of Chad, I would be for equity, which is really the opposite of a one size fits all approach. So the same way as we don't grow, you know, all plants in the same environment. Rather, we look at what combination of soil type amount of sunlight and water each needs to thrive, we need to do the same thing for people. And all of that is about recognizing that diversity just is and so we need to respect and honor it. And if we do all of those things correctly, that's where we get to inclusion. And so where diversity is about recognizing uniqueness. Inclusion is about belonging. It's about recognizing and showing how each unique piece is equally important in completing a puzzle. Any one piece that's missing, the puzzle is incomplete. No one piece is more important to that than any other.   Michael Hingson ** 1:04:14 That gets to be the real issue, of course doesn't mean that's why with things like unstoppable mindset where our tagline is where inclusion, diversity in the unexpected meet, I put inclusion first because typically diversity in our discussions leaves out disabilities, which it shouldn't. So we talk about where inclusion, diversity in the unexpected meet really means that you're going to either be inclusive or you're not an inclusive means you have to include all things you can't kind of go part way well, we're partially inclusive, we deal with race. No, that's not really inclusion very well. It   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 1:04:51 isn't. There's lots of different things. You know, we can add in neuro diversity to that. Well, I know when I was recovering From that spinal injury I mentioned to you, they had added a new glass door to the sort of suite where I had my visual anthropology lab. Well, they put the lock at floor level, because it was a glass door, and they didn't like the look of a lock at the handle level. Well, I was recovering from a spinal injury, I was using a walker, I can't get down to the floor level to unlock it. And it was something they added, which is how many years after, you know, the disability acts that all specify that any new thing needs to take in to account those different types of issues. I'm fortunate I was someone who that's not a permanent issue I have to deal with. But it was still shocking to me that, you know, despite the fact that there were federal laws about it, no blessing, aesthetically appealing to them, they didn't even take it into account. Well, of course,   Michael Hingson ** 1:05:55 as I've maintained, everyone has a disability. And for most of you, it's like dependence. And if the power goes out, and you're in a room somewhere, you immediately have major challenges. And, yeah, the light bulb has created light on demand that covers it up. But it doesn't negate the fact that it's still there. But it's amazing how many people just choose to not recognize that we're not nearly as inclusive as we should be. And we don't include enough people in the conversation. And it's something that does need to change. Absolutely. It's one of those things that it's a goal. And we'll we'll just continue to work toward it. Well, Jonathan, this has been a lot of fun if people want to reach out to you and maybe explore working with you or consulting. How do they do that?   Dr. Jonathan Marion ** 1:06:40 Absolutely.

In today's episode, Jonathan Raymond talks about the critical role of authority in personal and professional growth. He shares his personal experiences with authority in various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and spirituality. Jonathan emphasizes the importance of reflecting on past interactions with authority figures and how these have shaped our responses and decisions. He explains the challenges of navigating the balance between compliance and rebellion as we develop self-awareness. As a bonus exercise for deeper insight, the next time you question how you handled a conversation, journal these questions: What did you want to say? What did you actually say? What was the gap between the two? What was a valid reason for editing yourself, and what wasn't? Who taught you to respond this way? Based on your reflections, consider how you might handle the next situation differently.

A vision without action is nothing more than a fantasy, and action is merely a means to an end without a vision.  Having a vision is imagining what life will be like after reaching your goals. Not only is it important to have one, but it is essential to communicate your vision in a way that attracts excitement and action. After all, vision is about your goals and how you plan to achieve them in the future. Jonathan Domsky, business and life coach and founder of Untangled Coaching, joins us on The Greatness Machine for the second time around to talk about vision, purpose, and the common limiting beliefs that stop most people from reaching their full potential.

On today's episode we are talking about how taking care of your employees' emotions during an M&A process can be a lifesaver your company.  Jonathan Bennett, C.Dir., is a highly sought-after leadership coach and strategic advisor, offering his expertise to CEOs, executive teams, politicians, and boards of directors throughout Canada. With a background spanning urban, rural, remote, and First Nations communities, Jonathan excels in social purpose business strategy, governance, branding, change management, and communications. Before venturing into coaching, he founded Laridae, a management consulting and training firm that has served over 200 clients. As Laridae's inaugural CEO, he transformed the startup into a leading B Corp. Jonathan, also a Special Graduate Faculty at Trent University, contributes his extensive experience as a director to boards like Accerta and CashCo financial. Additionally, Jonathan has held leadership roles in notable organizations, including Chair of the Board of Directors of Ontario Telemedicine Network and the Kawartha Haliburton CAS. An accomplished writer, Jonathan has authored seven books and resides with his family on a lake near Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Episode Highlights:·   Anticipate Employee Reactions: Leaders implementing major organizational changes, like mergers, should anticipate varied employee reactions, from excitement to fear. Understanding and addressing these emotions is crucial for successful change management.·   Effective Communication is Key: Clear communication is essential. Leaders must not only communicate what will change but also emphasize what will remain unchanged. Using diverse communication channels accommodates different learning styles and calms employee concerns.·   Ongoing Dialogue for Support: Change is a process that requires time. Leaders should initiate ongoing dialogues to address employee questions and concerns, emphasizing that the initial announcement is just the beginning of continuous information sharing and support.·   Acknowledge Emotional Impact: Leaders often underestimate the emotional impact of changes on employees who were not part of the decision-making process. Acknowledging and understanding this impact is vital for fostering a positive organizational culture during transitions.·   Active Leadership Engagement: Senior leaders must actively participate in decision-making during significant changes. Avoiding abdication of decision-making responsibilities ensures alignment of vision and fosters an environment conducive to successful change.Jonathan's Top 3 Takeaways for the Audience:1. You can't communicate too often. Decide to overcommunicate and schedule it. 2. Change is hard. Give people the time they need. 3. Be self-aware about how you've dealt with change. You aren't doing it right or wrong and the folks around you aren't doing it right or wrong. You're just doing it your way. Give yourself and others grace and space.

Episode 59. The Green Sabbath Project, founded by Jonathan Schorsch in 2019, promotes the concept and ritual of a weekly earth day. Taking a day of rest for yourself and the environment is eminently reflective of the sabbath. Although Jonathan draws from his Jewish heritage, the Green Sabbath Project intentionally avoids promoting any particular religious beliefs or language. Jonathan sees potential learning between religious and non-religious people in connecting the values of a weekly day of rest and reducing the impact on the environment. Taking on this practice is both a simple action and a very flexible practice with deep benefits. Highlights:·       The Green Sabbath Project aims to promote sustainable living through practices inspired by the principles of Shabbat.·       The project avoids religious language to appeal to a wider audience and promote ecological consciousness.·       People need guidance, incentives to act sustainably and step off the hamster wheel.·       The project has three parts: education, gatherings, and encouraging people to observe Green Sabbaths.·       Promoting sustainable living and ecological thinking as complementary to religious and spiritual approaches.·       We need to re-think how we eat, shop, work, and relate to the environment. Social Media links for Jonathan: Website – https://www.greensabbathproject.netWebsite – https://www.jassberlin.orgLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-schorsch-a27630276University of Potsdam – https://www.juedischetheologie-unipotsdam.de/en/chairs/jewish-religious-and-intellectual-history/prof-dr-jonathan-schorschSocial Media links for Méli:Talking with God Project – https://www.talkingwithgodproject.orgLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/melisolomon/Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100066435622271Transcript:  Follow the podcast!The Living Our Beliefs podcast offers a place to learn about other religions and faith practices.

Do you find yourself unable to stop binge eating during certain periods of the month? In this episode of The Evolving Wellness Podcast, I chat with Jonathan Shane about the impact of the infradian rhythm on a woman's ability to lose weight. While most women try to keep a consistent and restrictive diet at all times — on top of a strict exercise regimen — they tend to end up in an endless cycle of falling into the trap of binge eating. What women fail to realize is that it's because they don't adjust their diet based on where they are in their menstrual cycle. Jonathan and I also chat about the importance of eating produce that is in season, instead of whatever is imported into the grocery store. Sarah suggests a few low-sugar and fatty fruit that is safe to eat depending on where you live and what time of the year it is. Jonathan Shane is the owner of Keto Road LLC and a certified FNTP specializing in ketogenic diets, metabolic health, and women's health. Overcoming an 8-year battle with bulimia and body image issues, he knows the struggles of finding true health and food freedom. He has used the keto diet to not only develop a healthy body but a healthy mind and overcome eating disorders and body dysmorphia. He devotes his life and experience to helping you change yours! What we discuss: 01:33: Sarah's health story and how I discovered the carnivore diet 05:15: Sarah's fertility journey 07:13: Why do women tend to experience setbacks with the carnivore diet? 09:49: What is the infradian rhythm? 18:11: Is our willpower the culprit to food binges or is it our hormones? 19:58: Are women more willing to risk their health for weight loss than men? 24:00: How did Sarah lose weight during her fertility journey? 25:22: How often does Jonathan see low T3 levels in women? 28:57: How long does it take for your body to heal? 32:39: How does Sarah help menopausal women? 35:14: Should you only eat produce that is in season? 38:10: How important is deuterium depletion for our health? 40:54: How can the sun increase your metabolism?

A vision without action is nothing more than a fantasy, and action is merely a means to an end without a vision.  Having a vision is imagining what life will be like after reaching your goals. Not only is it important to have one, but it is essential to communicate your vision in a way that attracts excitement and action. After all, vision is about your goals and how you plan to achieve them in the future. Jonathan Domsky, business and life coach and founder of Untangled Coaching, joins us on The Greatness Machine for the second time around to talk about vision, purpose, and the common limiting beliefs that stop most people from reaching their full potential.

In-person events may be back but virtual is no longer the poor cousin of events. Still, how do you get the most out of the dynamic and interplay between in-person and virtual? What are future-thinking entrepreneurs and companies doing to generate leads today? And what or who is the missing opportunity for the majority of events? Jonathan Kazarian is the Founder and CEO of Accelevents, a leading virtual and hybrid event management platform recently recognised by Inc. 5000 as one of America's top 100 fastest-growing private companies. Under Jonathan's leadership, the company grew from US$300k to $9m in under 8 months by leveraging the virtual space.  Quotes from this episode:"You can't get away with bad content today, and that's a good thing for the industry.""Events make up (at least) 25% of B2B marketing budget.. and it's at a time where everything is so data-centric right now (that) for organisers to be putting on these events and not have the data to show what action they drove, they're doing themselves a disservice"."Companies are moving towards this model of essentially being a publisher, being a media agency themselves, because that's how they're building their brand."-Jonathan KazarianConnect with Jonathan:Website: www.accelevents.comLinkedIn: jkazarianEmail: jkazarian@accelevents.comJonathan's book recommendation:Extreme ownership: How US Navy Seals Lead and Win by Jocko Wilink & Leif BabinConnect with Adelaine:Email: uponarrivalpodcast@gmail.comRecord interviews remotely with Riverside:bit.ly/RecordWithRiversideGet 15% off your subscription with code: AdelaineHost your podcast on Buzzsprout:bit.ly/BuzzsproutGet20AmazonGet $20 Amazon gift card.Edit interviews like a word document with Descript:bit.ly/EditWithDescriptAdelaine's game-changing podcast production AI tool

I'm honored to bring you this special part two with dyslexic writer, award winning author, entrepreneur and activist Jonathan Mooney, this time interviewed by my neurodivergent college freshman son, Ryan Neale. If you haven't yet listened to part one for a full exploration of Jonathan's E.P.I.C. life journey, I encourage you to go to that episode next. This episode, inspired by part one, was Ryan's opportunity, just before he left for college, to ask Jonathan for wisdom and guidance about how to flourish at a university while being neurodivergent. What unfolded was that and so much more. In this episode, I passed the microphone completely to Ryan, sat back and listened to him and Jonathan uncover how we can all learn and live outside the lines and stop faking normal. I invite you to listen to this conversation with the same sense of curiosity and trust. I hope you will arrive at the end as Ryan, Jonathan and I all did, personally transformed by the experience.     About Jonathan Mooney: Jonathan Mooney is a dyslexic writer and activist who did not learn to read until he was 12 years old. He is a graduate of Brown University and holds an honors degree in English Literature. At Brown, he became the co-founder of Project Eye-To-Eye, a widely duplicated mentoring program for disabled students. He is also a winner of the prestigious Truman Scholarship for graduate studies in creative writing and education and was a national finalist for the Rhodes scholarship. Jonathan Mooney's work has been featured in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, USA Today, HBO, NPR, ABC News, New York Magazine, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe. A nationally recognized advocate for neurological and physical diversity, he's been speaking across the nation about neurological and physical diversity for two decades, inspiring those who live with differences and calling for change. He has published three books: The Short Bus, Learning Outside the Lines, and Normal Sucks.   Connect with Jonathan: Website | www.jonathanmooney.com  Facebook | www.facebook.com/TheJonathanMooney  Twitter | @_jonathanmooney  Instagram | @thejonathanmooney  LinkedIn | www.linkedin.com/jonathan-mooney  Jonathan's Books Mentioned in this Episode: Normal Sucks: How to Live, Learn, and Thrive Outside the Lines : www.amazon.com/normalsucks Learning outside the Lines: www.amazon.com/Learning_Outside_the_Lines     About Ryan Neale: Ryan Neale is a neurodivergent UCLA Freshman from San Mateo, California. His parents discovered he was differently wired when he was 18 months old but he has been in mainstream education for his academic career, with most people around him not knowing about some of the struggles that he faces. His experiences masking his neuro differences have given him a unique perspective on many of the struggles neurodiverse people face, such as public stigma, internalized ableism, and the ever-present desire to fit in. As he has begun advocating more for his needs, he has high hopes to use his perspective and communication skills to increase public understanding of neurodiversity, and hopefully create a more inclusive society for everyone. In his free time, he enjoys playing basketball, coaching youth sports, roughhousing with his little brother, and diving headfirst into his many fantasy special interests. He is thrilled to have participated in the 2022 Stanford Neurodiversity Summit on a K-12 student panel. You can listen to the panel here.

After practicing meditation and mindfulness in the Zen and Tibetan Buddhist traditions for almost 20 years, he rediscovered breathwork during a dark night of the soul and was amazed at the impact the practice had on his life. After exploring several types of breathwork and working to create his own system, he found Neurodynamic Breathwork and completed an extensive facilitator-training program that was equal parts breathwork, deep personal development, and training in how to hold space for expanded states of awareness and support others through authentic presence.

There's beauty in imperfections and too few realize this! On the surface, social standards would make people think twice about showing imperfections. However, when the focus is on the true purpose for these so-called imperfections, you start to see the beauty. For Jonathan McLernon, it took a traumatic experience of being attacked and nearly beaten to death, back when he and his wife were nomadic English teachers, to really appreciate his imperfections. As a result of that trauma, Jonathan turned to binge eating to address his emotional distress, and became morbidly obese. He started hating his body, garnered all sorts of insecurities, and he blamed his big heart for feeling so many confusing and painful emotions, which led to pushing his wife away. Despite his attempts to create distance, his wife decided to close any gaps by becoming even more committed to their marriage. When Jonathan learned to open up, they were able to have compassionate conversations that brought their marriage to the next level. At the same time, Jonathan continued to improve his life by addressing his obesity. After many failed attempts at losing weight through different programs, he finally met someone who understood him. Jonathan was shown compassion and was taught self-compassion, through which he worked on healing his relationship with himself and his body. Currently, Jonathan owns a nutrition supplements store, is an online nutrition coach who focuses on “brain-driven weight loss”, and he mentors other coaches on how to build sustainable businesses. Jonathan leverages the marks left by obesity to remind himself of his potential, and he has learned to embrace his empathic nature, allowing him to deliver powerful and authentic messages that resonate and build strong relationships with his clients. Tune in to learn more about working to accomplish your purpose, appreciating your imperfections, and employing compassion for a strong business and stronger marriage.Connect with Jonathan:Website: https://freedomnutritioncoach.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/freedomnutritioncoach/Email: coachjon@freedomnutritioncoach.comConnect with Cory and Jojo:Strong Business Stronger Marriage Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/221111245753095Cory's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/coryrankinJojo's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jojo.rankin.395Lastly, If you would like to set up a call with us.

This week we welcome back Jonathan Stark, a former software developer who is on a mission to rid the world of hourly billing. He is the author of Hourly Billing Is Nuts, the host of Ditching Hourly, and writes a daily newsletter on pricing for independent professionals. Often CPAs don't know how to price for expertise and strategy, and they just lump the advice into the delivery. But the advice and the expertise and the planning is so much more valuable than the delivery, then the setup and implementation.  In this episode, Jonathan talks about altitudes of involvement, where listeners will get an appreciation of how to separate out the advice and the strategy from the delivery and price it accordingly.   Highlights: — “Strategy is not a plan. A plan comes out of a strategy. Once you have a strategy to achieve the objective, now you can start planning.”  — “If you're perceived as an execution person, you are not the kind of person that people are going to go to for a blueprint. It's much easier for people to pigeonhole you as a builder and not a strategic thinker.” — “If you are used to saying I'm a CPA, and you want to shift up an altitude, you need to stop saying that.” — “Courage is much more important than confidence. Courage is knowing the risks, but doing it anyway, or feeling the fear and doing it anyway.”  — “The first step: find your top five clients and go out and ask them if they want to have a meeting to talk about the direction of their business and the strategy to get them there.” Connect with Jonathan: Website: https://jonathanstark.com/   Episode mentions: 106 Better Pricing Strategies for Accountants: Stop Billing by the Hour https://www.smartstrategyforcpas.com/106   111 Better Pricing Methodologies For CPA Firms https://www.smartstrategyforcpas.com/111   A More Useful Definition Of Strategy https://jonathanstark.com/daily/20200809-0152-a-more-useful-definition-of-strategy-   Book mention: Good Strategy Bad Strategy: The Difference and Why It Matters https://www.amazon.com/Good-Strategy-Bad-Difference-Matters/dp/0307886239 Want to find out what options you might have for working together?

We're back today with Jonathan Stark. In case you missed it we did a recording with Jonathan a couple of weeks ago. It’s episode 106 - Better Pricing Strategies for Accountants. There was so much more to talk about that I invited him to come back on to continue the conversation about pricing.  One of the problems that CPAs run into in their practices is that they tend to fall back on two methodologies for pricing: billing by the hour, and flat rate, which tends to be a cost-plus version of billing by the hour.  These two methodologies limit them in terms of how they price in their firm. Coupled with the problem that hourly billing is problematic in that the client doesn't have a price until after the work is done. And if the bill exceeds the value to the client, that's a big problem. So what we want to talk about today are different pricing methodologies for CPAs.  Before we started recording, I laid out a couple of options, namely retainer, value-based, contingency and subscription. Jonathan walks us through what those different pricing methodologies look like, what's good to use and what kind of circumstances and why you don't want to use them in certain circumstances and what the risks are.

Only 29 years old, Mr. Barber has already worked with artists such as Pat Metheny, Nicholas Payton, Buster Williams, Kenny Barron, Jeremy Pelt, Jimmy Greene, J.D. Allen, Harold Mabern, Larry Willis, Steve Davis, The Brooklyn Philharmonic, and Erykah Badu. Now, he’s stepping out in full force as a bandleader. DownBeat magazine calls Vision Ahead’s self-titled debut album Barber’s “greatest accomplishment to date,” but make no mistake, this group is more than the Jonathan Barber Quintet; this is unmistakably “Vision Ahead,” a distinctive and close-knit group of musicians who have been working toward this moment for years. Featuring Godwin Louis on saxophone, Andrew Renfroe on guitar, Matt Dwonszyk on bass, and Taber Gable on piano, Vision Ahead offers a fresh blend of classic jazz with elements of gospel, rock, soul, and fusion that’s already attracting listeners across generations. Even when they’re playing hard—and they do reach some thrilling crescendos—this extremely dynamic band always feels impeccably sharp and in control, cool far beyond their years. Barber also shows quite a gift for pacing in his new compositions, with each song boasting a real sense of progression that’s balanced with a proper spotlight on his bandmates’ noteworthy improvisations. Barber is the main composer but each member of the band contributes compositions and arrangements. With strong melodic motifs and almost every extended solo accompanied by new forms or themes, Barber’s music strikes the rare balance of maintaining a clear emotional through-line while still providing each soloist a fresh foundation on which to build. Jonathan Barber & Vision Ahead has performed at The Jazz Standard, BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, Scullers Jazz Club, Smalls Jazz Club, Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, Rockwood Music Hall, Smoke Jazz Club, The Cell, Minton’s Playhouse, Black Eyed Sally’s, The Side Door and other notable music venues. In August of 2018 this band headlined the Rainy Days Festival held in St. Petersburg and Moscow, Russia. The name “Vision Ahead” holds deep personal significance to Barber..."Support the show (http://berniesbootlegs.com/support)

Jonathan Orr was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. After high school Jonathan earned a football scholarship to the University of Wisconsin. During his time at UW, he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Community Leadership and Non-Profit Management. While at Wisconsin, Jonathan also found success on the football field, which led to him being drafted by the Tennessee Titans. His time in the NFL was short lived, lasting only two seasons before being released from the Oakland Raiders. Shortly after the end of his football career, Jonathan found himself facing significant personal struggles. He did not know who he was without football or what to do with his life. Eventually, Jonathan developed a plan for transitioning into the next season of his life. This plan included utilizing the transferrable skills and strengths he had acquired from his athletic experiences, identifying his gifts and talents, and setting value-based goals. Shortly after Jonathan return to school and earned master’s degree in Organizational Leadership from Trevecca Nazarene University and has since worked in positions of leadership for various non-profit and educational organizations. In 2014, Jonathan started Athlete Transition Services Corp. (ATS), an organization that helps athletes prepare for life after sports. Through workshops and life coaching services, Jonathan and his team educate and equip athletes with the information, tools, and strategies needed to facilitate their overall growth and development. Since its conception ATS has provided services for student-athletes at over 20 universities across the country (including Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Florida, Utah, Virginia Tech, and Wisconsin). In 2018 Jonathan released his first book, Game’s Over Life’ Not: The Athlete’s Guide for Transitioning. Jonathan and his team have experienced a great deal of personal and professional success and it is his passion to help other athletes do the same.
