Moral Collapse: The Holocaust Thirty-ninth Episode: On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I engaged in a LinkedIn conversation. The comments I posted in that thread drew responses that made it clear I had to amend my thinking. Specifically, one of the correspondents used the phrase, psychological sidestep, that rang like a gong in my head. Since that made it clear I have much to ponder and learn, I invited three of the people who engaged in that LinkedIn conversation to join me on the program. They are: Melissa Hughes, Ph.D., a psychologist and neuroscientist Rabbi Yonason Goldson, a speaker, advisor, award-winning podcast host, and teacher of Jewish history and Holocaust studies at Esther Miller Bais Yaakov High School in St. Louis Sven Lauch, an accredited emotional logic coach. Please join us for this conversation. If you're lucky, you'll learn as much as I do.

364 NLV 2025   This year in Austin Texas February 10th and 11th is the eighth annual NLV Summit hosted by Sarah Elkins. A meeting of great minds, incredible opportunities, and a sharing of impactful stories. In today's episode Sarah reminisces on many of these stories from the previous several NLV Summits and how they have helped her shape her path going forward.   Highlights Gaining perspective on life, especially when you feel hopeless.  Incorporating the lessons your friends and peers don't even realize they're teaching you. Continuing to strive for the dream you want to build.   Quotes “Something that continues to shape my work is something Melissa Hughes said when she hosted her session. She said; Sometimes you have to get up to the cheap seats. And she was using the metaphor for those high seats in the bleachers at a baseball game. So that we can gain perspective by getting to a higher view. To look at the bigger picture when we feel stuck.” “What is it? What does it do? Why does it matter?” About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Summary In this episode, I sit down with four LinkedIn friends/colleagues to discuss Dacher Keltner's book, Awe the New Science of Wonder and How it Can Transform Your Life. Each of my guests brings an important perspective to the topic. Dr. Keltner defines awe as connecting to something larger that yourself; “the feeling of being in the presence of something vast that transcends your current understanding of the world.” He then supports that definition by detailing eight emotional wonders of life: Moral beauty: appreciating other people's courage, kindness, strength, or ability to overcome obstacles. Collective effervescence: being part of a larger collective self, e.g., a Taylor Swift concert, a political rally, gathering with others to watch the recent eclipse Nature: what I feel when I stand in a trout stream or look out over the Grand Canyon Music Visual design: attractions in New York City: the Edge, the Little Island, and the High Line Spirituality and religion Life and death Epiphany – understanding of an essential truth, insights, scientific discoveries, sudden disclosures After introducing the concept and speaking about it from my guests' various perspectives, I asked whether the leader can inspire awe in the workplace. Guests Rich Gassen works as a print shop supervisor at UW-Madison, where he focuses on empowerment, creativity, and process improvements with staff.

In this episode, Ryan chats with returning guest Melissa Hughes about how as entrepreneurs we need to stop making excuses or even stop taking in so much information and get to work doing what we know we're supposed to do.   Copy of Recent Email from Melissa in which she shares this message:   I'm back from Florida and home with my family! How has your week been? I wanted to share this story with you from the trip because it was a lightbulb moment for me and something I think will help you wherever you're at in your business today. I was all set to speak on "Finding Your Podcasting Niche" at a conference in Sarasota. The topic was clear, and my notes were ready, but God had other plans. Does this ever happen to you? God changes up the plans on you? The night before my talk, as I was finishing up some work, I felt God start impressing this phrase on my heart for the people in the room the next day. It was this: "Stop it! You know what to do." I felt like the people attending my session were full of information but lacked action.  It hit me. Sticking to my planned presentation with more information would add to their confusion, and not lead to a breakthrough. Not because my message was confusing, but because having another "guru" telling you what you need to do when God's already given you the next step, would.  Sometimes we feel comfortable staying in "learning mode" thinking we're moving the needle forward when really we're procrastinating.  If you are finding yourself "stuck", I want to encourage you with this: stop it. You know what to do.  2 Peter 1:3 says that God has ALREADY GIVEN US everything we need for life and godliness. The challenge is we don't think it's enough. Just like the disciples telling Jesus to send the 5,000 people home when the little boy approached Jesus with his 5 loaves and 2 fish - they couldn't see the provision was right under their noses!  Whatever it is that God has put in front of you today - take action on it. Stop asking for more "confirmation" or attending another conference. Stop it. You know what to do. Maybe it's an idea. Maybe it's a very practical step of calling that person or sending that email. Whatever it is - trust God with what He's given you and give that! He is the multiplier of our lives, efforts, families, talents, gifts, and businesses! 

This episode of the Networking Rx Minute with Frank Agin (http://frankagin.com) offers insight from neuroscientist Melissa Hughes (@melishughes) to encourage you to be more forgiving of the shortcomings of others.   For more great insight on professional relationships and business networking visit https://www.amspirit.com/blog/networking-rx or contact Frank Agin at frankagin@amspirit.com.    

Many pastors would say they have a “love-hate” relationship with social media.  While they certainly see social media as a gathering place for people in our culture and an opportunity to connect with others, they also recognize many of the negative aspects that social media can pose as well.  In this episode, Jon and Les talk with a true social media influencer by the name of Melissa Hughes.  Melissa and her husband served for a few years as struggling church planters in the UK before returning home to the United States feeling like ministry had been a failure in large part.  As Melissa was seeking God's direction for the next season of her life and ministry, she felt a strong calling to begin creating content on social media.  At first Melissa felt a lot of resistance to the idea, but eventually she pushed through the discomfort and quickly found a growing audience following her more and more on various social media platforms.  Melissa has not only learned the power of leveraging social media as a tool for growing her own business, but she also recognizes the work she is doing for the ministry that it is.  Through this conversation you will be encouraged to think about ways you can utilize the amazing tools of social media for influence and impact through your business and ministry as well.

Summary No guest today in what is my first episode of the new year. I promise no New Year's resolutions except one: to read and digest as many books as I can during the year. Given my interest in books, I was curious to know what some of my colleagues, friends, and family members will read in 2024. So, I contacted more than 40 of them, asking them for a brief bio, their book of choice, and why that title might find its way to their nightstand. I thought that maybe I'd hear from a few, but that many might be too busy to respond, given the fast-approaching holiday. Their responses poured in: Jesse Kohler is the President and Chair of The Change Campaign and also serves as Executive Director of the Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy and Practice. Going to read Preventing and Healing Climate Traumas: A Guide to Building Resilience and Hope in Communities by Bob Doppelt. Because the climate crisis is widely traumatizing. Promoting support across our society to work through it together is one of the most critical callings of our time. Paul McNicholls is a lay historian and author. Going to read Victory to Defeat: The British Army 1918–40 by Richard Dannatt and Robert Lyman.

Going to finish We Are Electric by Sally Adee – but doing so scares me... Because it seems like the author is justifying our “merging” with AI or at least romanticizing our ever increasing entanglements with technology. And since I like to simplify life using a cave-dweller perspective, this idea freaks me out. Leon Ikler is a commercial photographer primarily shooting tabletop and small room scenes in the studio along with a mix of location work. Going to read Democracy Awakening by Heather Cox Richardson. Because in these contentious times with the nation so divided, I like how she frames today's issues against what has taken place in the past.

Going to reread The United States of Arugula by David Kamp.  Because it's a great reminder of how our current American culinary landscape was created. I'm ending with Rita because she also sent in another suggestion. Not a book, but a song – "You Can't Take That Away From Me," sung by the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald. As Rita noted, "The lyrics will stand the test of time.  They're a testament to what we hold in our hearts and imagination that can never be taken from us."

How To Live Rich And Spread Our Wealth For Success: With us today is Melissa Hughes, founder of Live Rich, Spread Wealth—a business (and movement) that is all about helping people live richer lives as a result of becoming their best selves. Melissa is a best-selling author, speaker, and master business coach that became a self-made millionaire by the age of 31! Known as The Guru of Implementation®, Melissa's success, and that of her clients, is a result of her practical, proven systems for business and life success. Today's Guest & Resource Links: Website: https://melissahughes.comWebsite: https://liverichspreadwealth.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGuruOfImplementation?_rdc=1&_rdrLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-lisa-hughes-mha-pmp-37147742/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iammelissahughes/ Timestamped Show Notes: 00:30 - Introduction10:00 - I actually would take my clients on these international retreats. The reason that even started was because when I went to Bali for the first time, I don't share the same religion as the Balinese folks do, but I've never seen such grateful people. That gratitude is off the charts in Bali!21:30 - I'm not all about the hustle, per se, because I like that steady flow, the steady as you go, open, solid, and then keep your pace up. I do like to do things with grace and ease. So that creates a mindset that I have to take on. Because if things are getting too much anxiety, I think there's always limitless possibilities. So I say what does it need to look like for me to do this with grace? 33:00 - I had a very successful life in corporate America. But one day I was at this really nice hotel, looking outside the window, and I was like, this can't be what life is all about. This can't be my forever after. I thought that the more bonuses, the more salary I get, was the more freedom I get.41:50 - It is such a process. It's a mindset. It's a behavior that follows it, it's a commitment and dedication to creating those better habits. So it's all a process, it's all about that muscle, and giving yourself the grace to know that like, when I go to the gym, my first day, I'm not lifting 50 pounds. I'm not doing that, I can lift it, and I'm not going to go to the gym again.50:50 - Final Words Shown Below…Our Final Words of the Show: I think the legacy that I'd like to leave behind is that first of all, everyone that's listening, you are so freakin important and you are a valuable person. Whether you have kids or not, you are influential, people are always watching all of us. Part of living rich is embracing all of who you are, the good, the bad, the quirky, your education, your experiences, and really being able to accept yourself and be unapologetic about the gift that you are to this world. From there, you can create so many things.But I feel like sometimes you need to stop and say you know what, I am awesome. Create an awesomeness list for yourself. Create a list for yourself, that speaks on like, if you're a mom or your dad or your you graduated or, or you were a good friend of somebody, make a list of the things that you're proud of, that you've been able to do, no matter how big or small. When you're faced with something challenging, go back to that list. Because it will remind you that, look, you are really great

“Small hinges move big doors.” That one thought helped Karen Allen pick herself up from the depths of grief after losing her husband in a tragic, senseless act of violence nearly a decade ago. Shortly afterward, she lost her house, her car, and then one year later — her job. Getting fired followed just a few months after an intuitive hit that corporate wasn't the best fit for her any longer was a blessing in disguise that precipitated the founding of her now-thriving business, one where she puts her son front-and-center as her North star. In this conversation, Karen shares how she navigated overwhelming grief while parenting, structuring her business for free time as a single parent, and how her business has evolved as she continues gaining clarity about who she wants to be and how she wants to serve. More About Karen: Karen is a super-mom, healthy eater, and keynote speaker. After experiencing the tragedy of losing her husband, she picked herself up and set out to thrive for her son's sake. She is the founder of the 100% Human movement, helping others develop a mindset of joy and abundance through her community. She also hosts the In the Details podcast.

Struggling entrepreneurs “force” their services down their prospects' throats. This never works out, and only creates resentment in your leads. And if you do this, they feel the sudden need to “object” to every talking point you have. Once this happens, it's near impossible to close the sale (without resorting to manipulative sales tactics.) End result? The chances of unhappy clients skyrockets. When this happens, this means refunds, chargebacks, and terrible reviews on Google. So, how do we avoid “objection handling” in our sales calls? In today's episode, Melissa Hughes, Founder of Live Rich, Spread Wealth, reveals the “Love Method” of sales. By using this method, you'll not only close more sales, but build more positive, long-term relationships with your clients.  Listen now! Show Highlights Include: No, you don't have to be from a wealthy background to escape the titanium handcuffs of your 9-5. Here's why… (4:05) Haven't started a business because of analysis paralysis? Here's how the “INT + DAT” method melts your anxieties and worries (4:46) How cable news sabotages your opportunity to start a business (6:36) Why you can make out like bandits in the next potential recession (even if don't have a lot of cash, or aren't an accredited investor already) (10:20) Do sales calls make you feel greasy and slimy? Try the LOVE method (and never feel uncomfortable selling your services again) (14:51) How to get your prospects to sell themselves on working with you by using the “Socratic Method” (16:26) Why performing “mental jujitsu” with your prospects results in refunds, unhappy customers, and terrible reviews on Google (21:43) If you liked the episode, leave me a review on whichever app you listen to podcasts on.
