David Ruggiero, Leader and Executive at Microsoft North America joined me for a conversation about People Leadership, and some of the stories that has shaped him into the leader that he is today.

Petrified Forest National Park (0:00:00) As you drive through the northeastern parts of Arizona, you enter the land belonging to Petrified Forest National Park. Surrounded by red rocks, this national park has a renowned beauty. There are so many places to hike, explore, and discover. We wanted to learn more about this park, so we've invited one of the park's rangers, Sarah Herve onto the show. Sarah oversees the rangers and volunteers who share the park's story with visitors.   Work Personas (0:21:10) You just got promoted to a leadership position at work. You don't want to mess it up, so you decide that you are going to put out a more authoritative image to bring your team to success. You're now a leader and it's time you start acting like one. That's all fine and good, but what happens if you take it too far and aren't true to yourself? Former CFO of Microsoft North America and a leadership coach, John Rex, joins us to share his advice for being genuine in the work environment and avoiding work personas.   Taxes in July (0:52:45) Many Americans have been thrown off by the country's decision to move the deadline to file taxes from April to July. We're joined by Richard Rubin, US tax policy reporter for the Wall Street Journal, to discuss what difference this makes and how we can make sure we're filing the right way.   Mini Book Club: Modern Fairytales (1:11:28) Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting, talks with Lisa and Richie about the best modern fairytale retellings to read. You can find a complete list of the books she talked about by finding The Lisa Show on all social media platforms.   The Rainbow Movement (1:20:40) You know that excitement and amazement you feel when you see a rainbow? How about a double rainbow? Well you've probably never been as excited as Paul Vasquez. If you don't remember... 10 years ago a man named Paul Vasquez was so enthusiastic about seeing a double rainbow that his reaction went viral. He was even interviewed on national news about it. Well today's guest, Bill Ulrich, also had a life-changing experience upon seeing a rainbow, and eventually teamed up with Paul Vasquez to establish The Rainbow Movement—a foundation devoted to making the world a better place.   Finding Hidden Money (1:30:51) Rent day is coming up, utility bills are due, and you need to make your car payment. The fixed expenses in your life just seem to keep piling up and financial breathing keeps diminishing. It seems like the only solution is to increase your cash flow. But what if you could create more finical breathing room in the budget you already have? Here to talk to us about the “hidden money” in our budgets and how to find it and utilize it is finance writer Renee Sylvestre-Williams.

Everyday Rockstar (0:00:00) Lisa and Richie talk with this week's featured Everyday Rockstar. You or someone you love could be featured too! Send your nominations to thelisashow@byu.edu.   Nostalgic TV (0:06:09) The year is 2020, but who can admit most of the TV shows they watch aired more than 15 years ago? We all have those shows that we loved in our younger years that we could never let go.  And while you may be embarrassed to admit your watching habits, you've actually been doing your brain a lot of good. Those feel-good nostalgic memories you get when you watch your favorite, old show are more than just good feelings –they're psychologically comforting. So, what makes nostalgic TV so therapeutic? Today we're joined by Will Meyerhofer, a New York-based psychotherapist and author, here to talk with us about the psychological benefits of watching your favorite old TV shows.   Why You Didn't Get Promoted (0:18:43) Do you feel like you keep getting passed up for promotions at work? You work hard, you don't complain, and you volunteer for extra projects. But you're still in the same position you were a year ago. As much as we'd like to blame our boss or our own misfortunes for our lack of progress, our next guest says that we may be the problem. Former CFO of Microsoft North America and a leadership coach, John Rex, joins us share his advice for getting promoted at work.   Farmers Markets and COVID-19 (0:36:05) There are a lot of benefits to shopping at farmers' markets. Not only can you buy your food directly from the farmers who grew it while enjoying a stroll outside, but these markets generate double the movement of local economies compared to wholesale farmers. Plus, they offer healthier options. However, just like any other business at during this time, farmers' markets have taken a hit from the coronavirus. So, what can we do to support this important piece of our community? Joining us to help answer this question is Kelly Verel. Kelly is a local food and public markets specialist. She has used her experience as an organic farmer to promote one of the country's largest networks of farmers market sat GrowNYC and more recently at the Project for Public Spaces.   The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (0:50:37) We all want to be in life. What would you say if I told you there's a book that gives you the secret to success in 7 easy steps (or habits?) 30 years ago, Stephen Covey put down this habits in his bestselling book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” Since then, his son, Sean Covey, has picked up the mantle with “7 Habits for Highly Effective Teens,” and “7 Habits of Happy Kids.” We've invited him here today to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his father's book and to figure out—how can we be more successful?   Connecting With Generation Z (1:13:00) Just as my generation is different from my parent's generation, Generation Z is different from any generation before them. Many of my kids belong to Gen Z. Growing up with the internet, technology, and social media has changed the way they navigate the world and engage in activities. And other unique priorities and values have created a gap in understanding between them and us. But we want to close this gap, because we live and work with many who belong to this younger generation. So, we invited Mark Beal, a Rutgers University professor, and Michael Pankowski, a Harvard University student, who, despite a 30 year age gap, found a way to connect. They co-authored the book “Engaging Gen Z: Lessons to Effectively Engage Generation Z via Marketing, Social Media, Retail, Work & School.”   Kids and Healthy Relationships (1:28:00) Watching our kids make their way through social circles and friendships can be difficult, and oftentimes, the temptation to intervene is strong. As parents, we've been through 1 or 2 bad relationships in our lifetime of experience, so we can detect the warning signs of an unhealthy friendship better than our kids can. But, without dictating who our kids can and cannot be friends with, how can we help them choose better friends? Today, we've invited an internationally published author, psychologist, and parenting expert, Dr. Eileen Kennedy-Moore, on the show to share how we can help our kids foster healthy relationships.

My guest for Episode 5 is William Lewallen, Senior Manager for National Cloud Partner sales in Microsoft North America's Partner Business. Microsoft’s Cloud Solution Provider program (CSP) is the future of how Microsoft enables partners to service their customers while delivering on the mobile-first, cloud-first strategy set by CEO Satya Nadella. In this role, William gets to marry his dual passions for working with partners and business model transformation to lead this initiative in the United States. In this episode we discuss the opportunity for partners presented by Microsoft's Cloud Solution Provider program, its growth over the last eighteen months and how partners can engage and transform their business through participating in the program. We take some time to deconstruct what makes a good CSP and how partners can evolve their business to drive greater Partner Profitability. I also take some time with William to discuss his personal career journey, role models, thoughts on how he lives his life and ask him to name a favorite book, The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle. As I've done with many of the guest thus far, I ask William about a favorite quote. We discussed a quote by James Mitchner.  William also shared another favorite quote after the interview was done  - “Mastering others is strength.  Mastering yourself is true power.”    – Lao Tzu In the course of the discussion we discussed additional tools available to partners with their transformation, some of these are listed here: Azure MSP Playbook - A playbook for helping partners transform their business through creating a Cloud Managed Services business Cloud Enablement for Partners - a guide for helping partners develop cloud-based solutions.
