Podcast appearances and mentions of Nick Craig

When a life-altering diagnosis shakes everything, how does a leader stay true to their mission? Former Silicon Couloir CEO Gary Trauner joins Nick Craig to share how his health crisis tested his resilience and deepened his sense of purpose.In this candid conversation, he unpacks hard-earned lessons on clarity, perseverance, and impact, proving that true leadership is forged in adversity.In this episode, we discuss:●       From CEO to navigating a major health crisis●       How purpose guides leadership in tough times●       Balancing ambition with life's unpredictability●       Gaining clarity through adversity●       Adapting purpose as life evolves

Despite the fact that so many of them make it look easy, the daily lives of senior U.S. military leaders can be incredibly demanding. Laura Weimer examined how senior leaders manage their well-being (or, at times, struggle to do so) amidst these demanding careers, and she's in the studio with host JP Clark to share her discoveries. Drawing from her research, Weimer highlighted the unique pressures of senior roles, including frequent relocations, intense scrutiny, and the weight of consequential decisions. She also discussed the inevitable challenges of mid-life, such as caring for aging parents and navigating evolving family dynamics, which compound work-related stress. Weimer's key takeaway? Developing a strong sense of identity, meaning, and purpose is essential for fostering resilience and sustaining leadership effectiveness. I don't know if necessarily it's the Army's job to help us figure out our identity. I do think it would be valuable for the Army to acknowledge the value of those conversations and maybe even prompt those conversations.

In this episode of Stories from the River, host Charlie Malouf welcomes back guest Nick Craig, best selling author as well as President and Founder of the Core Leadership Institute (CLI), a global development firm committed to waking up those who will wake up the many.  Charlie reflects on how he was deeply inspired by an article Nick wrote over five years ago, which led to their ongoing collaboration. The conversation delves into Nick's journey of discovering and living his purpose, transitioning from focusing on being the smartest person in the room to realizing the importance of deeper wisdom in leadership. Nick shares transformative experiences, including his collaboration with Bill George at Harvard Business School to co-create a successful course on authentic leadership and how that led to the global success of his Purpose to Impact program. Additionally, Nick recounts his interaction with Brené Brown, who encouraged him to write his influential book ("Leading from Purpose") and also wrote the foreword for it after he helped her discover her purpose.  The episode also highlights a recent Purpose to Impact event hosted at Broad River Retail, led by Nick himself. Charlie enthusiastically shares how this program has profoundly impacted those who attended. The conversation touches on the universality and adaptability of the Purpose to Impact program, which has been successfully implemented across various cultures and organizations worldwide. Nick emphasizes that purpose helps individuals navigate through life's uncertainties and encourages everyone to explore what deeply excites and scares them a little—a combination that often reveals their true purpose. The discussion concludes with mutual admiration and a commitment to continue fostering purpose-driven cultures within Broad River Retail and beyond.

Welcome to the second episode of the Purpose to Impact series on Stories from the River. In this episode, host Charlie Malouf introduces Teri Frangie, the newly appointed Senior Vice President of Global Business Development with Core Leadership Institute, and Kip Meyer.  Both Teri and Kip attended the two-day Purpose to Impact program held on October 22nd and 23rd in Fort Mill, South Carolina, facilitated by Nick Craig from the Core Leadership Institute. Before diving into their reflections from the two-day experience, they discuss the evolution of the program over the past several years from its initial focus on authentic leadership to its current dedication to discovering and refining one's purpose.  During the course of the conversation, they reveal the process of discovering their own personal purpose statements.  Teri shares her inspiring purpose statement of "To uplift others and bring their score to light" with a tagline of "Co-creating melodies that inspire light and harmony,"  Kip reveals his refined purpose of "Excavating for hidden treasures within," which derived from "To help people see something meaningful that they do not see on their own." Then Charlie also reflects on his purpose, distilled to "Play the game," which started as a more lengthier version of "Play the game of life with a driven commitment that echoes and inspires others to rise to the occasion and reach their potential," before getting reduced to "Play the game of life."  Charlie is still weighing whether or not to include the 2nd part, which in full would then be, "Play the game. Rise to the occasion." The episode delves into their personal growth experiences and the power of collaborative reflection and storytelling. They highlight the value of the program in fostering deep, non-judgmental relationships and gaining clarity and confidence through shared vulnerability. They appreciate the iterative process of creating and refining purpose statements, emphasizing that self-discovery is an ongoing journey. Charlie, Teri, and Kip urge listeners to consider the Purpose to Impact program for its significant impact on personal and professional development. Charlie also underscores the importance of "slowing down to go fast," ensuring one aligns with their true direction in life.  Additional links and resources:  Core Leadership Institute: https://coreleader.com     Connect with Teri: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terifrangie/     Connect with Kip: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kipmeyer/   The Power of Purpose: Find Meaning, Live Longer, Better by Richard Leider - https://www.amazon.com/Power-Purpose-Meaning-Longer-Better/dp/1626566364   Richard Leider - https://richardleider.com   Richard Leider Explains How To Find Your Purpose: https://www.bluezones.com/2011/11/richard-leider-explains-how-to-find-your-purpose/   Lois Holzman - the art of becoming through play and performance - https://www.engagingpresence.com/lois-holzman-the-art-of-becoming-through-play-and-performance/   Lois Holzman, East Side Institute - https://eastsideinstitute.org/about/our-people/lois-holzman/   Maureen Kelly, Performance of a Lifetime - https://performanceofalifetime.com/member/maureen-kelly/   This episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dxQVujiN3lQ  Visit https://www.storiesfromtheriver.com for more episodes.

Welcome to the first episode of the Purpose to Impact Series here on Stories from the River.  In this episode, Charlie Malouf, Manny Rodrigues, and Heather Greenwood dive into their enriching experiences from a two-day workshop hosted by Broad River Retail and created by Nick Craig of the Core Leader Institute. The workshop, focusing on the Purpose to Impact program, brought together a diverse group of leaders from across the country and a few Memory Makers from Broad River for two days (October 22-23, 2024) in Fort Mill, South Carolina, and was led by Nick Craig along with Davin Salvagno.  Charlie, Heather, and Manny found the intimate setting and pre-work exercises beneficial for deep self-reflection. There were a dozen overall leaders who were then put into smaller cohorts of four people each.  The smaller group size facilitated candid sharing, enabled the participants to form strong bonds, and minimized passive participation. Each person was encouraged to explore significant life challenges and leadership successes, paving the way for meaningful discussions and authentic connections. Charlie, Heather, and Manny shared personal reflections and takeaways, underscoring the importance of fully engaging with the process. The effective facilitation by Nick and Davin allowed for impactful one-on-one sessions and cohort sharing.  The two-day workshop culminates in crystallizing your personal purpose statement.  Charlie, Heather, and Manny each revealed their own personal purpose statements that came about through this intensive and reflective workshop.  Heather's purpose statement, "To light the spark that ignites greatness in others," resonated with her belief in supporting and inspiring others.  Manny's purpose statement, "Illuminating the path one story at a time," echoed his commitment to understanding and sharing stories to help others.  Charlie's simplified purpose statement of "Play the game" defines his philosophy and approach to life.  The trio emphasized the value of forming deep relationships and the transformative potential of fully participating in the workshop, ultimately advocating for intentional living and continuous personal growth.

We're back with another Purpose Summit Series episode on today's Stories from the River. Host Charlie Malouf welcomes Nick Craig, referred to as the "godfather of purpose" by Charlie, which was recorded in front of a live audience at the NASCAR Hall of Fame museum. Nick discusses his journey into understanding and guiding individuals and organizations toward discovering their purpose. He shares about a pivotal moment in his life at the age of 37 when he realized that the maps others provided for success did not include his fulfillment and unique gift. This realization led him to delve into the concept of purpose as a core aspect of one's identity and the key to transformation, both personally and within organizations. Nick emphasizes the importance of being a "map maker" rather than simply following the paths set by others, guiding individuals to tap into their unique gifts and live authentically. Nick highlights the significance of understanding personal crucible moments and connecting them with one's purpose. He explains that purpose is an individual possession that cannot be given or taken away by others and urges individuals and organizations to dig deep to reveal their purpose and core essence. By helping companies like Unilever and LEGO reconnect with their purpose during identity crises, Nick demonstrates the transformative power of aligning individual and organizational purposes.  He encourages people to reflect on their connection to their purpose and share stories that showcase their impact, emphasizing the importance of living out one's purpose authentically in every aspect of life.  Nick says that purpose is at the core of map making and that if you're map making, then you're living your purpose.  He says that people who are the map makers are the ones who will really make the difference and have an impact in this world.

Welcome to The Purpose Summit Series on Stories from the River! To kick off this 12-episode series with selected speakers from The Purpose Summit 2024, Charlie Malouf welcomes Davin Salvagno, Founder and CEO of Purpose Point and a return guest of the podcast. They sat down for this conversation at the NASCAR Hall of Fame Museum Gear Shop during The Purpose Summit 2024. A friend of The River, this episode marks Davin's fifth appearance on the podcast.  Davin shares the experience of bringing the 5th Purpose Summit to Charlotte, and he discusses the intricate planning and teamwork that goes into organizing The Purpose Summit.  Recorded in front of a live audience during the breakout sessions on day two of the Summit, Salvagno shares insights about the opening night of The Purpose Summit, where purposeful and positive speakers like Nick Craig and Jon Gordon set a high standard, delivering messages that were both inspiring and transformative for attendees. He describes the first night as a microcosm of the Summit's larger objective, emphasizing the importance of stopping to follow others' maps and instead becoming map-makers. The Purpose Leadership Awards also shone a spotlight on organizations exemplifying purpose from three different areas (for profit, non profit, and faith-based). The discussion moves to the events of the following morning with presentations by Ron Carucci and Mark Whitacre, both delivering impactful content that challenged and inspired participants. Davin reveals that this year's feedback was particularly positive, noting a stronger emphasis on actionable "how-to" advice compared to previous summits.  He addresses the demanding nature of organizing the Summit, sharing his motivation drawn from the high percentage of disengaged workers and the transformative potential business holds. Both Charlie and Davin underscore the significance of the event for attendees and organizations like Broad River Retail. Looking ahead, The Purpose Summit is set to return to Charlotte in 2025, with Salvagno expressing hope for the Summit to continue its impact and possibly establish a long-term home in Charlotte.

Managed to do an RFG while on the road as I do long days to get home to Phoenix. Took the time to explain and refute Nick Craig's "in depth" interpretation of Ephesians that tells us that verses 3 through 12 are only about the Apostles, not about regular believers. Then we looked at little bit at Acts 13:48, and a bit at a deranged Twitter account opposed to Calvinism. Nearly 80 minutes today.
