One of the greatest questions for many is, “If God is a loving God, why is there so much suffering in the world?” Though we would love to answer this question in a 30 minute episode and set the record straight for us all…this is a complex question that many more qualified individuals have tried to explain, including C.S. Lewis, Tim Keller, and Max Lucado. Instead, we are going to look at suffering from a different angle and process the truth lived out by so many: suffering is not the end of the story.   In episode 132, Terra Mattson sits with Randy Hartly as he recounts the moment he found out his daughter was molested and the days he witnessed forgiveness in the face of the Rwandan victims.  The Rwandan Genocide is one of the worst examples of evil in human history. Almost one million people were slaughtered in 100 days because a population was vilified, demonized and dehumanized over an extended period without sufficient push-back from what was likely a silent majority. Suffering happens on many levels, individually and corporately.  This episode will not only bring hope to you, in whatever story you are living, but maybe give you the resources you need to walk with others going through such pain.   Randy Hartley lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where he has been a financial planner for thirty-eight years. Randy also serves as Chairman of Legacy Mission Village, the refugee ministry founded by William and Ebralie Mwizerwa. He and his wife, Darla, have three children—Alyssa, Andrea, and Nate. Randy was the executive producer for the film Beautifully Broken, which was released in 2018. He has now written a memoir called Beautifully Broken: The Story of Two Fathers Fighting to Save Their Families and the Unlikely Journey That Changed Them Both (Fedd Books, 3/29). Beautifully Broken not only tells the Hartley family's story, but recounts the Mwizerwa family's escape from the genocide in Rwanda and their journey to Nashville, before the two families ever met. With the help of 18-time New York Times best-selling author Ken Abraham, Randy and William Mwizerwa share the story that brought their families together.   The story isn't over.

Aaron Walker has founded more than a dozen companies over the past 42 years and has appeared on more than 2,000+ podcast interviews.    He attributes much of his success to having surrounded himself with peer advisors like Dave Ramsey, Dan Miller, Ken Abraham and others who met weekly as a mastermind group for nearly a decade (long before their meteoric achievements).    Aaron is the founder of Iron Sharpens Iron (ISI), a mastermind for success-minded men and woman who want to level-up in all areas of life.

Ken Abraham is a New York Times best-selling author, known around the world for his collaborations with popular celebrities and fascinating, high-profile public figures such as Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, mega-church minister, Joel Osteen; actor Chuck Norris; 9/11 widow, Lisa Beamer; NFL football coach and NASCAR team owner, Joe Gibbs; psychologist, former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, Senator Bob Dole, Neil Clark Warren, founder of e-Harmony.com; former U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist; champion boxer and entrepreneur, George Foreman; country music icon, Randy Travis, and ASCAP's Gospel songwriter of the century, Bill Gaither. Ken wrote the New York Times bestseller, WALK TO BEAUTIFUL, with country music artist Jimmy Wayne, a former foster child who walked 1,700 miles across America to raise awareness about foster kids. Ken's most recent New York Times bestsellers include NO DREAM IS TOO HIGH, with Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin; and MORE THAN RIVALS, a gripping story of racial conflict and reconciliation, based on actual events. At present, Ken has more than twelve million books in print. Fifteen of Ken's collaborations have attained New York Times bestseller status, with three books soaring to the number one spot on that prestigious list. Ken worked with Lisa Beamer, widow of United Flight 93 hero, Todd Beamer to create the number one New York Times best-seller, LET'S ROLL! (Tyndale House Publishers, August, 2002), Lisa's story of hope in the midst of crisis. Ken collaborated with Joel Osteen to “get his heart on paper,” resulting in the runaway number one New York Times bestseller, YOUR BEST LIFE NOW (Time Warner, Warner-Faith, October, 2004) and the number one New York Times bestseller, BECOME A BETTER YOU (Simon & Schuster, Free Press, 2007). Ken and Apollo 11 astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, produced the international bestseller in 2016, NO DREAM IS TOO HIGH (National Geographic), life lessons from a man who walked on the moon. Filled with personal anecdotes, wit, and insight, this book resonates with anyone risking a new adventure in his or her life, whether exploring a new career, new city, or a new relationship. One of Ken's most gripping works is a deeply personal story told by the author, WHEN YOUR PARENT BECOMES YOUR CHILD (Thomas Nelson, October, 2012), in which he chronicles his own journey through his mother's struggle with dementia. Ken is the sole author of nine books, including DON'T BITE THE APPLE ‘TIL YOU CHECK FOR WORMS, THIS ISN'T THE TRIP I SIGNED UP FOR, UNMASKING THE MYTHS OF MARRIAGE, and STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK!

Nation! I am so excited to introduce you to the man who leads my weekly Mastermind group, Aaron Walker.  Aaron Walker has founded more than a dozen companies over the past 42 years. He attributes much of his success to having surrounded himself with his Mastermind counterparts. Aaron spent a decade meeting weekly with Dave Ramsey, Dan Miller, Ken Abraham, and other outstanding entrepreneurs. Aaron is the founder of Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind that now hosts 20 groups with National and International members. Aaron lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and he has so many wonderful stories and advice to share today!  As you know, I lead several Mastermind groups myself. A large reason I can pour into other leaders in the water treatment industry is because of the individuals I meet with weekly in the Mastermind group. Aaron says to think about a Mastermind as "Your own personal board of directors" who help you personally and professionally. Life is way too difficult to do it alone. We are built as human beings to work with other people. I've found that joining a Mastermind can help you grow through vulnerability, coaching, honesty, and camaraderie.   If you are a water treater interested in joining a Mastermind, please visit my Scalinguph2o.com/mastermind to learn how together we can raise up the water treatment industry.    Timestamps:   Upcoming Events [1:30]  James' Challenge: "Review all your accounts to ensure you've lived up to all your obligations.

Aaron lives in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife Robin of 40 years and he has two incredible daughters and five beautiful grandchildren. Here are the highlights of this episode: 1:59 Aaron's ideal Client: My ideal clients are small business owners from 100,000 to 50 million dollars, 27 to 65 years old historically. People who want to grow and scale their business. 2:26 Problem Aaron helps solve: Isolation is the enemy to excellence, and we help to eradicate isolation. We were designed to be in a community and we need people around us to help us grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. 3:03 Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Aaron: Bill, you know as well as I do for being in a business yourself that it's difficult to make great decisions alone, because you can only see things from one perspective. We need accountability in our life, we need resources, we got to have people who have innovative perspectives on new ideas. So, I just want to surround myself with what Jim Rohn said "I want to be the average of the 5 people I spend the most time with" and you know as well as I do that we need those people around us to help us make intelligent decisions. Especially in the light of the current circumstances and situations that we face today, we have never been here before. We need very confident people to help us work through those challenges. 4:07What are some of the common mistakes that folks make before finding Aaron and his solution: A lot of the times, people don't have experience with the framework that you need in order to enlist competent people. We built the framework on the 'Mastermind Playbook' and it helps you really identify people with strong core values, people that have a mission statement, people that are looking to grow not only for monetary reasons but they have a greater purpose in life. We help formulate that and we organize to a manner that which you could grow, scale and develop your company with a greater purpose in mind. A lot of people want to get people around them, but they don't really know how to articulate the type of person they need around them. There are people out there everywhere but we want people that are willing to go for it. People who are not necessarily adverse risk. People who are willing to form some type of risk because you wouldn't be a small business owner if that weren't the case to begin with. So, we just help to vet those person to get people on board that have the same missions and goals in mind like you do. 5:19 Aaron's Valuable Free Action (VFA): A lot of people are afraid; I deal with people all the time. I even asked Robin recently "why is everybody so afraid?" it's time to go for it because if you want to live, you got to go for it.

Aaron teaches leadership qualities for a life of significance. Bio: Aaron Walker is an entrepreneur who has started and sold several successful businesses. After retiring for the third time, a friend convinced him he needed to start coaching young, up and coming entrepreneurs, which led him to one of his current ventures, View From The Top. Aaron is a business leader, a mentor, a coach and a teacher. He is also a leader in his family which consists of his wife of 36 years Robin, two daughters and one son-in-law, and five grandchildren. Interview: I hit a few highlights about you in the introduction, but give us a little backstory and what your journey has looked like to get where you are today. Started at 18 with some business partners who had money He didn't have much at all. 600 sf home; parents didn't make much money Grew four companies over nine years and sold them; retired at 27 18 months later he was bored, and his wife Robin said you gotta do something! Launched a new business and grew it by 4x But then 8/1/01, car accident changed everything; Aaron hit a pedestrian with his car, and that person died from the injuries. Led to a five year hiatus from business Traveled Built a house Robin told him again to go back to work Partnered with a construction company and grew it to the best builder in Nashville Retired again at age 50 Guys in his mastermind (Dave Ramsey, Ken Abraham, Dan Miller) suggested that he coach Dave Ramsey EntreLeadership Mastery Dan Miller Elevate Challenged him to inspire young men to reach their potential So new business i. Mastermind groups ii. Coaching iii. View from the Top community (Follow up Q from Daniel - What is with Nashville and entrepreneurs?) Demos/location good Entrepreneur center 6 miles from 2 coasts 80,000/year moving to Nashville Talking about the growth of Nashville, Austin, Waco Robin and friends are coming to see the “Flip or Flop”!! (Fixer Upper / Magnolia / Chip and Joanna Gaines) What does it mean to grow from success to significance? Deals with guys ranging from massively successful financially to those just getting started Need those with same objective even if in different places and different ideas Looking to develop great husbands, fathers, business leaders What is success? Most people are reactive rather than proactive Just want more, bigger, shinier But what if that's not really what you want? Content v. complacent For him, it was Choosing his own schedule Financial freedom – important (not shying away from that) but don't make it your God, paramount or your only focus Have an engaging family Both of his daughters work with him Meaningful relationships and a clear conscience Content not complacent Be happy where you are now Choose happiness (not a trait; a choice) But keep the pedal down and keep growing and moving forward Faith is important – trust in higher power Legacy – there is a man with great wisdom Car accident changed his view on this, from just making a bunch of money to Meeting the needs of others and engaging with other people Do things for people anonymously so people can't repay or even acknowledge Gratitude day at restaurants, nursing homes, etc. Invest in others that might trickle down and impact the masses You have said that you fear missing an opportunity more than you fear failure. Fear is the biggest enemy we have Failure is in not trying; not in not succeeding If you don't attempt it, it's guaranteed you won't be successful You either succeed or you learn Just don't repeat the things that don't work, and do more of the things that do We can get paralyzed in the fear of failure Pushes us to average – just as close to the bottom as the top Inch wide and mile deep – Greg McKeown in Essentialism Do the best you can do with everything; don't have to be the best at everything Don't leave anything on the field Be exhausted at night! Gave all he had to his business Naysayers are everywhere, but you can't listen to them Carol Dweck – Mindset – either have growth or fixed mindset. Fixed mindset people say “well I can't do it” Mom's saying: Can't couldn't do it and could did it all Some confidence leads to some success which leads to more confidence and more success. Get the word “can't” out of your vocabulary The answer is always “no” if you don't ask John Lee Dumas / Entrepreneur on Fire example about asking The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks – overcoming upper limit challenges Can you tell us about a business you started that wasn't as successful, why you think that was the case, and what you learned from it? We need to be a constant student About 80% of business people read just one book per year Excuse is don't have time; Darren Hardy says invest 10% of personal revenue into personal development His mastermind groups read books every month Helps you mitigate against challenges Stay on the cutting edge of technology Lots of reading and lots of conferences to get exposed to what you do not know. Dr. David Krueger at Baylor was Aaron's personal coach – he hires lots of coaches Great companies and organizations rely on great people. What was and is your hiring process like and what do you prioritize in order to recruit the best people? Hire slow / fire fast Vanderbilt baseball won the world series recently; the coach is well respected Coach interviewed some of his players I can teach you the game of baseball, but I can't teach you character What are the mission, vision, moral standard, core values? Do they align? Make decisions based on that Don't just base decisions on your gut Dave Ramsey example Over a dozen interviews now Very strategic hiring Cody Foster – Advisors Excel in Topeka, KS (400 people; $5.5B) One of the largest mistakes he made was not firing people fast enough A toxic employee will destroy the chemistry of the team (Daniel follow up on values; how do you communicate them and not let them collect dust?) Chikfila example Friend was owner/operator No matter which location you go to, everything is the same. My Pleasure All based on intense training Must incorporate into training that is done on a regular basis If you don't use it, you lose it Must have systems and processes How can those of us who are in entry or mid-level roles in our organizations influence those above us? i.e. How can we lead up? Attitude is everything Only thing you are in total control over Adam Grant – Give and Take Be a giver and not a taker Bring value to the company How can I bring more value than what the company is paying for How can I make this a pleasant experience Bosses would pass out if an employee came to them and said they want to move up, they are willing to invest, here is my skillset, willing to do more. I'll help promote you and make you look good so you will benefit too Help bosses, clients, etc. achieve their results David Novak; CEO of YUM? Took his employees with him and recognize and honor them Pictures all over his office of his employees Focused outward How can those of us interested in broad-based success—at work, home, and in our faith and community, allocate our time, thoughts and resources? We're all faced with this It's not about time management; you can't manage it; it happens regardless But you can manage your priorities Procrastinate On Purpose – Rory Vaden Priority dilution – we've made priority plural when it's singular What is your priority? Faith, Spouse, Children, family, job We try to do too many things, and wind up an inch deep and mile wide What if we flipped that and became an inch wide but several miles deep? The job doesn't have a memory but your family does. It's always just one more email, one more call, etc. and you wind up working right through family time The only way to protect against this is to set up boundaries. Could always make more money by giving up everything else, but why? To what end?
