In this conversation, Will Wright and Jason Simon explore the themes of friendship, discipleship, and evangelization within the context of the Catholic faith. Jason shares insights from his experience as president of the Evangelical Catholic, emphasizing the importance of lay apostolate and the role of deep, intentional friendships in leading others to Christ. They discuss the urgency of building these relationships, the concept of disruptive friendships, and the balance between urgency and patience in accompanying others on their faith journey. The conversation culminates in a call to action for listeners to cultivate meaningful friendships that reflect their faith.Learn more about The Evangelical Catholic here:https://evangelicalcatholic.org/Jason Simon is the President of The Evangelical Catholic (EC). After working briefly in engineering, he began working in the Church as a parish Director of Religious Education and Youth Ministry. Through this work, he saw the power of evangelization in the Church and his passion to see more lives impacted by the Holy Spirit. In 2007, he graduated from the M.Div. Theology Program at the University of Notre Dame and then began leading the EC. Under his leadership, the Evangelical Catholic has experienced consistent expansion by equipping local Catholic leaders to not only be disciples, but disciple-makers. Jason and the EC's staff built Reach More™ and Nextstep to equip Catholic lay leaders to fulfill the Great Commission. He lives in Madison, WI with his wife and six children.Whether we know it or not, we all have family members or friends who are fighting hidden battles of doubt, alienation, isolation, guilt, compulsions, grief, or hopelessness. But often we don't know exactly how to offer the Good News of Jesus to them in these struggles—at least not beyond offering our “thoughts and prayers.” Mission-Ready Friendship is a roadmap for how to truly befriend your friends, not by solving their problems for them but by going deeper to become the friend Jesus created you to be.Jason J. Simon grew up in a faithful home but wandered into darkness through his high school and college years. For years, he struggled with shame and despair until Chip, a guy he met while eating donuts after Mass, noticed that darkness and disrupted it by being an intentional, thoughtful friend. This relationship changed Simon's life and eventually inspired him to lead the Evangelical Catholic, a national organization dedicated to helping people discover how God is already at work in the lives of our innermost circle.This book spells out simple and incremental practices any Catholic can use to develop deeper, more purposeful friendships. You will learn how to* become more invested, curious, and empathetic toward others;* pray for the people God has placed in your life;* be ready for the ways God is prompting you to build deeper friendships; and* bring intentionality to your relationships to accompany them closer to God.Jesus himself used these practices with his followers and sent each of them to use mission-ready friendship to share his good news with others. It's a simple but powerful approach to relationships that promises to change lives, including your own.Buy it today! - https://www.avemariapress.com/products/mission-ready-friendshipThanks for listening to Good Distinctions!

Leading Your Team Like the Navy SEALs There is leadership and then there is leading. The two are not always synonymous. Leadership bases itself in a philosophy. Leading is the actions one takes. When it comes to leading teams, no other group has a track record of leading others like the Navy SEALs. They are put in some of the most dangerous, compromising, and difficult situations and still they overcome the obstacles successfully. What if you could learn some of the ways SEALs are trained when it comes to leading others? Would you be willing to do it? While you may never be in the situations as dangerous as the SEALs, the principles of leading your team with the same fundamentals still applies. In this episode of A New Direction, William Branum Navy SEAL RET'd joins again to deliver insights into leading others, and training your next leader. The book, "Mission Ready: Building High-Performing Teams from the Battlefield to the Boardroom" is a power-packed book that will take you from leadership to "leading your team". The book is filled with great examples and first-hand accounts of how to transform your team, very much the way the Navy SEALs do. The book takes a look at leading your team from the Navy SEAL perspective of being in combat, and then, transitions to see your team from a business view and applying both SEAL and psychological principles of development. The book is one that will resonate with every entrepreneur, small business, medium business, and corporations. Get your copy of "Mission Ready" by clicking here!

In today's complex and fast-paced organizational environments, psychological safety has emerged as a critical element of effective leadership. Psychological safety refers to the shared belief that a team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking. It encourages openness, innovation, and the confident expression of ideas, contributing to improved team performance and overall job satisfaction. Leaders who prioritize psychological safety foster environments where team members can voice concerns, share unique perspectives, and engage in constructive dissent without fear of retribution. This episode delves into the four stages of psychological safety: Belonging Safety, Learner Safety, Contributor Safety, and Challenger Safety, illustrating how each stage supports diverse facets of team interaction and performance.

How to Build High-Performing Teams that Operates Like the Navy SEALs If you are in business and have a team, no matter how large or how small, we ultimately want a High-performing team. But have a high-performing team does not happen overnight. And it requires a kind of leadership that quite frankly is not so common in the work place. So, where do you look to find the best, high-performing teams? Perhaps one of the best places to look are the Navy SEALs. One of the elite forces of our military, the Navy SEALs, provide us a tremendous example of how a high-performing team functions under some of the greatest pressure. What if you could apply their principles to your business? Well, dream no more! Because in this episode of A New Direction U.S. Navy SEAL, Senior Chief RET, William Branum joins us to help you build a high-performing team, from his co-authored book "Mission Ready" William Branum and Brenda Neckvatal's book, "Mission Ready: Building High-Performing Teams from the Battlefield to the Boardroom" is an eye-opening look at how Navy SEAL teams operate and how you can operate your business using their principles. The first half of the book Navy SEAL William Branum takes us into a Navy SEAL gunfight and then compares the principles in the gunfight to the fight you face in your business. One of the main principles is SHOOT, MOVE, and COMMUNICATE.  While those principles appear to be straight forward, what you quickly learn is you cannot be just good at one of them to be successful you must be good at all three. To SHOOT in business is something we commonly do. Taking care of this priority, putting out this fire, handling this issue or problem.  But sometimes we can get so stuck shooting we don't move. But to MOVE is so important because we quickly realize if you stay in the same place to long...you will die.  We have to continually MOVE so we can out maneuver our opponent (whatever that may be) so that we can win. Finally, COMMUNICATE.  How often do we have a team meeting telling people what we want them to do and then end the meeting.  That's not communication.  In fact, as William describes, to COMMUNICATE means there is a response. Does your team really understand what you are asking?  Never assume. The book future explores some amazing topics, like "Leaders Don't Get Bullets", "Decentralizing Control and Command, the OODA loop and more. Great book for every member of your business.  But if you want to lead a team like the Navy SEALs, we all have work to do, and it starts with discipline and consistency.  Time to get Mission Ready.

It's common to feel overwhelmed by the world's problems and wonder if one person can make a difference. Balancing success, family needs, and personal well-being adds to this burden. Many people face this challenge, trying to manage their responsibilities while still pursuing their goals. Despite these struggles, finding small ways to contribute and make a positive impact can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Victor Marx is a former Marine turned humanitarian powerhouse, uniquely equipped to tackle the world's toughest challenges. Overcoming a traumatic childhood, he now mentors young men and rescues victims from war-torn areas. Marx's expertise lies in transforming pain into purpose, offering hope to the hopeless. With a best-selling book and a global following, Marx teaches the art of being "mission ready" - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Today, he shares his journey from a traumatic childhood to becoming a force for hope and change in the world. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond! Quotes: “Rules without relationship create chaos, but a relationship without rules creates the same problem.” – Victor Marx “Unforgiveness is like drinking poison, and hoping it kills the person you hate. But all it does is destroy you inside.” – Victor Marx “Forgiveness is giving up your right to hurt someone back for hurting you.” – Victor Marx “There's good men and there's men that are good at being men.” – Matt Beaudreau Takeaways: Ask yourself, "Am I still mission ready for whatever God has for me to do?" Consider your physical, emotional, and spiritual preparedness. Identify someone you need to forgive and consciously choose to let go of your right to hurt them back. Journal about how this impacts your emotional well-being. Establish a consistent routine, such as listening to a Bible app or spending quiet time in prayer, to strengthen your spiritual foundation. Assess how you prioritize your family versus your career. Plan a specific action to show your loved ones they come first, even if it means sacrificing a professional opportunity. Start a daily gratitude practice, focusing on the basics you have in life. Use this to combat negative attitudes and maintain perspective during challenging times. Conclusion: The importance of mentorship and providing hope to younger generations cannot be overstated, especially for those who have experienced trauma or adversity. Forgiveness, both of others and oneself, is crucial for personal growth and healing, allowing individuals to move forward and fulfill their potential. Consistency in spiritual practices, maintaining physical and emotional readiness, and finding balance between work and family life are key elements in becoming an effective leader and making a positive impact on the world.

Mission Ready Building High-Performing Teams from the Battlefield to the Boardroom By William Branum and Brenda Neckvatal Missionreadyleadership.com ~THE BOOK We will bring you to your next level of business. In today's fast-paced and competitive business environment, merely keeping up is no longer enough. To truly thrive and outpace the competition, elevating your team to its next level of performance is not just an advantage—it's a necessity. With decades of experience in the most demanding environments imaginable, William brings the unparalleled discipline, leadership, and teamwork skills honed during his 26 years as a U.S. Navy SEAL. Brenda, with her expert insight into HR practices, crisis management, and group dynamics, complements this perfectly, translating these high-stakes military strategies into actionable, impactful corporate methodologies. William Branum is a highly decorated Navy SEAL veteran who served in the United States military for 26 years. During his extensive military career, he honed his leadership skills, cultivated a strong mindset, and gained invaluable experience in high-pressure situations as a sniper instructor, leading teams on operations ranging from protecting the interim Iraqi elected officials to direct action missions in Baghdad as well as specialized in undersea operations with missions that were required to be approved by the President of the United States. After retiring from the military, William has made it his mission to share the lessons he learned with others as a speaker, author, and business, and leadership advisor. William's expertise in leadership and mindset has been sought after by organizations ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. He draws on his experiences to provide practical advice on how to cultivate a leadership style that inspires and motivates others, and how to develop the resilience needed to succeed in challenging environments. William's commitment to serving others has also led him to support several philanthropic causes, including the Navy SEAL Foundation and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Through his work, Branum continues to inspire individuals and organizations to embrace the qualities that have made him a successful leader: discipline, dedication, and a willingness to push beyond one's limits.

I'm excited to share three powerful leadership lessons from the battlefield, insights that I believe are crucial for leading high-performing teams in any environment. These lessons are drawn from both my military experiences and a new book I'm co-authoring titled "Mission Ready."In this episode, we explore the principle of letting others "have it your way"—a negotiation strategy that is as effective in the boardroom as it is in combat. I recount lessons from Mike Hayes, a fellow SEAL who taught me the power of subtle persuasion and leadership through adept negotiation skills. We'll dive into how these methods apply not just to military scenarios but to everyday leadership challenges, whether you're steering a company, managing a team, or guiding a family.Key Takeaways:Leading by Example: Learn the importance of setting a professional standard, as I share stories from Iraq where the appearance and conduct of our team set us apart from other contractors. This lesson underscores the influence of non-verbal communication in leadership.Influencing Up and Down: I'll discuss techniques for influencing both your superiors and your team, turning leadership into a collaborative, persuasive interaction that enhances organizational cohesion and effectiveness.Strategic Patience: Hear about the value of letting situations mature to make informed decisions. This approach saves resources and lives on the battlefield and can similarly prevent hasty decisions in business or personal life.These principles aren't just for the high-stakes world of military operations—they're applicable to the challenges we all face as leaders in our own lives. Join me as I share these insights, along with personal anecdotes that bring these lessons to life.Stay tuned for actionable strategies that will empower you to lead effectively, no matter the context. And remember, whether you're navigating a critical mission or everyday challenges, the goal is to lead so skillfully that others naturally follow your lead.--------------WANT TO THINK LIKE A NAVY SEAL AND UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL?
