Brooke talks to Catrina from People First, an organisation dedicated to supporting adults with learning disabilities and those who are neurodiverse. They discuss the alarming rise in hate crimes against individuals with disabilities and the proactive measures taken through the Safe Bus Streets initiative, which empowers community members with safety strategies and self-advocacy tools. They also talk about Catrina's personal journey from being a dancer to becoming a leader in the disability advocacy space, highlighting the importance of open conversations about disability, the social model versus the medical model, and the need for genuine engagement with the disabled community. KEY TAKEAWAYS A community-driven program was developed in response to an increase in hate crimes against adults with disabilities. It includes safety workshops, self-defence techniques, and resources to help individuals feel secure in their environment. Disability is a diverse and complex experience, and individuals within the disabled community may have differing opinions and needs. It's crucial to respect personal preferences and boundaries regarding language and support. Activism can take many forms, and love-fuelled activism emphasises compassion and understanding. Engaging in difficult conversations about disability and societal perceptions can lead to meaningful change. After a period of illness, rediscovering dance through wheelchair ballet provided a sense of joy and empowerment. This experience highlights the importance of movement and expression in the lives of individuals with disabilities. BEST MOMENTS "We've had an increase in hate crime towards adults with disabilities in our area and we knew we had to do something about that." "It's just treating people on their level and I think we talk about that line when it comes to easy read documents." "I think it's really tricky but everybody should be dealt with on an individual basis." "I would fight for a person's right to call me any name under the sun, but I would also fight for the right to say something right back to them." "It's important that we speak for ourselves and not for the community at large." VALUABLE RESOURCES https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/disabled-and-proud/id1621152878 HOST BIO Disabled and Proud is the show that brings listeners a different perspective on disability. Each week this podcast highlights an awesome disabled guest speaking about their own disability; why they are proud to be disabled and why they are proud to be themselves. The conversations in this show will look at what challenges these amazing people face socially, mentally, physically and life in general. This show is raw, open, honest, funny, welcoming and educational. Disabled & Proud does exactly what it says on the tin! And whilst we are creating this space for disabled people to be unashamedly themselves, without the need to conform to society, this is also not about toxic positivity. This show will be shining a big, bright light on disability without it being “Paralympic or pity”. As you will hear disability is WHOLE, COMPLETE & PERFECT and whilst the topic of disability can be quite heavy - and we definitely don't shy away from the bad days - this podcast is also about having fun too! Our aim is to play a part in reclaiming the word disability - turning it from inadequacy to perfection!

Are your compensation strategies sabotaging employee engagement? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, host Peter Winick sits down with Stephan Meier, Chair of the Management Division at Columbia Business School and a leading voice in behavioral economics. Stephan shares insights from his journey—from academia to the Federal Reserve to corporate advisory—exploring how behavioral science can reshape the way organizations understand motivation, incentives, and employee experience. They dive into why traditional, money-centric reward systems fall short—and how many leaders still default to outdated playbooks. Stephan challenges organizations to look beyond perks and pay, and instead design work environments that leverage autonomy, purpose, and learning. The conversation introduces the concept behind his new book, "The Employee Advantage", and draws a powerful parallel: Treat employees like customers. Personalize their experience. Listen deeply. Improve constantly. This episode offers practical, research-backed ideas that any leader can implement to drive performance, engagement, and retention. If you think a ping-pong table is the answer to your culture problems, think again. Three Key Takeaways: • Money isn't enough – Beyond a certain point, financial incentives have limited impact on motivation. Intrinsic drivers like autonomy, purpose, and learning matter more. • One-size-fits-all doesn't work – Just as customer experience is personalized, employee experience should be too. Engagement improves when organizations tailor motivation strategies to individual needs. • Culture is built through systems – Perks like ping-pong tables won't fix disengagement. Real impact comes from designing systems that listen to employees and support continuous improvement. If Stephan Meier's insights on behavioral economics and humanizing the workplace sparked your interest, you'll want to check out this powerful conversation with Ryan McCarty and Mark Goulston. While Stephan focused on the science behind motivation and engagement, Ryan and Mark dive into the heart of it—how purpose, empathy, and service can transform leadership and culture. It's a natural next step in rethinking what truly drives people at work. Discover how servant leadership can elevate your impact and deepen connection across your organization: Listen to the episode.

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice.   And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Dean Mathews, the hardest thing in growing a small business is shifting from doing everything yourself to empowering others by building systems and trusting your team. He highlights the importance of moving from working in the business to working on the business, emphasizing that true growth comes from hiring the right people, clearly defining roles, and creating an operating structure that allows others to thrive. You can't scale alone, and recognizing that earlier can make a significant difference. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Dean Mathews' favorite business book that has helped him the most is Scaling People by Claire Hughes Johnson. He found it especially valuable because it offers practical frameworks and structures for growing teams and building an internal operating system. The book resonated with him as it closely aligned with the challenges he faced while scaling OnTheClock, particularly around leadership, processes, and team development. He even conducted a book club at work based on it, applying its lessons to enhance how his company operates. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Dean Mathews recommends several great podcasts and online learning resources to help grow a small business, especially in the SaaS space. His top pick is the SaaStr Podcast, which features insights from successful SaaS founders and is packed with growth strategies. He also expressed strong interest in exploring content by Alex Hormozi, particularly his books $100M Offers and $100M Leads, and his podcast focused on data-driven business scaling. Additionally, Built to Sell Radio by John Warrillow was recommended for its focus on recurring revenue and building sellable businesses, while Nathan Latka's Podcast was noted for its sharp focus on SaaS metrics like ARR, MRR, CAC, and churn—making it a valuable listen for any growth-minded founder. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Dean Mathews recommends using a project management tool like Asana to grow a small business, as it helps teams stay organized, track progress, and manage both projects and processes effectively. He believes every business boils down to three core elements—people, projects, and processes—and Asana helps align them in a structured way. Additionally, he highlights creating an internal operating system (built in tools like Google Slides), which outlines company values, goals, job roles, meeting structures, and key metrics. Together, these tools support scalable growth and team alignment. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Dean Mathews' advice to himself on day one of starting out in business would be to “buckle in, you're in for a ride” and to understand early on that scaling a business is all about people. He emphasizes that success doesn't come from doing everything yourself, but from hiring the right people, trusting them, and building systems that empower them to thrive. He reflects that if he had learned earlier how to let go of control and focus on developing others, his business could have grown even faster. Surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you in their areas is key to building something truly sustainable.

Samuel Winderö's insights into leadership emphasize the critical importance of integrating innovation with human values in today's rapidly changing business landscape. As he transitions to Safe Site Sweden, a company dedicated to enhancing construction safety, Winderö showcases his commitment to prioritizing the well-being of individuals in the workplace. He believes that safety is not just a compliance issue but a fundamental human right, and this perspective aligns with his broader goal of creating a lasting legacy that focuses on the welfare of employees and communities. By fostering an environment where team members feel valued and empowered, Samuel illustrates how a people-first approach can drive both organizational success and societal impact. Samuel highlights the necessity of adapting to technological advancements while maintaining authentic human connections. He encourages emerging leaders to embrace tools like artificial intelligence as enhancements to their creativity rather than replacements. This balanced approach is essential for navigating the complexities of a digital-first world, where authenticity and transparency are paramount. His journey underscores the idea that effective leadership is rooted in continuous learning and mentorship, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. As we look to the future, it is crucial for organizations like Avinode Group to adopt these principles of authentic leadership. By prioritizing the well-being of employees and embracing a people-first mentality, Avinode can create a thriving work environment that not only drives business success but also contributes positively to the broader community.

The last five years have seen an ever-tightening talent pool and, therefore, increased competition for great employees. It seemed that it was a pandemic-related phenomenon at first, but demographics tell us that in fact, this is here to stay for many years. Coupled with this tight labor market, employees have become more particular about what they are looking for in their work, and they have become more apt to move on if their situation is not just right. The great resignation and quiet quitting, were, it turns out, just the start. In this era where it has become so challenging to hire great employees and even more so to keep them, Michael Horn invites us to understand why, and how to combat this trend. Michael is a longtime friend of Tugboat Institute®'s and Co-Founder of the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation. In his recent book, Job Moves, he explores what drives employees to quit so readily and offers them advice about what factors to consider when considering taking this step. In this Tugboat Institute talk, he flips his perspective and offers company leaders a look into the factors that drive employees to quit - and to stay – in order to be more intentional about improving recruitment and reducing turnover. It turns out that many of the things he recommends go hand in hand with being an Evergreen® company. Watch and consider how you might improve your employees' experience and keep your best players for the long term.

What if the issue isn't who you're hiring, but what they're walking into? That was the pivotal question Greg Brouwer asked himself when he took the reins of West Michigan Janitorial, overseeing a team of more than 200 employees and facing turnover rates nearing 200%. Instead of defaulting to reactive hiring or higher pay, Greg chose a different path... one centred on building belonging, not just bandwidth. “What if we focused less on finding more people,” Greg asked, “and more on becoming a place worth staying in?” Greg's approach reframed leadership from task oversight to culture stewardship. He didn't just aim to run a more efficient cleaning company; he set out to create a values-driven workplace where dignity is the default, and retention is the byproduct of trust, structure, and care. Under his leadership, turnover has steadily declined below 85%, driven not by easier work but by a stronger culture. In this powerful episode of The People Strategy Podcast, Traci Austin sits down with Greg Brouwer, owner of West Michigan Janitorial, to unpack what it means to run a high-turnover business without a high-turnover mindset. They discuss the systems Greg's team implemented to create stability, predictability, and trust, including an employee assistance fund, value-aligned hiring practices, and a structured onboarding experience that centers care and clarity. They also explore Greg's long-term vision: a workplace where employees can connect their daily work to long-term dreams. Whether you're grappling with retention or looking to future-proof your team, this conversation offers more than quick fixes. It's a blueprint for building a company people don't just work for; it's about building a workplace people believe in.

What If You Built a Business That Could Outlive You? I sit down today with Dave Whorton, and let me tell you—this conversation is one of the most important ones you'll hear if you're serious about building something meaningful. We're living in a time where entrepreneurship looks more like a sprint to an exit than a commitment to lasting impact. Dave's new book, Another Way: Building Companies That Last and Last and Last, challenges that broken model and reminds us: success isn't just about cashing out—it's about building something worth keeping. We break down what it really takes to create an "evergreen" company—one that's not built to flip, but built to matter. Dave shares the 7 P's that every sustainable business needs: Purpose, Perseverance, People First, Profits, Privately Held, Pace Growth, and Pragmatic Innovation. He hits home the idea that growth doesn't mean chaos—done right, it compounds over time and actually gets easier, more joyful, and more impactful. You're not racing to the exit—you're building a legacy. One of the biggest mind shifts we talk about: you don't have to sell your business for it to be valuable. You don't need $100M in funding to be "legit." Some of the strongest companies—Amazon, Microsoft, Apple—started with almost no venture capital compared to today's standards. Real strength comes from a strong foundation, scrappy innovation, and a relentless commitment to people and purpose over hype. I walk away from this conversation fired up because this is real entrepreneurship. It's the quiet work of building families, communities, and lives that stand the test of time. It's not just about business. It's about living a life you're proud of—and leaving something behind that's bigger than you. Key Takeaways: Why building for the long term beats building for a quick exit every time. The 7 P's every lasting company needs—and how to use them. How purpose-driven leadership creates stronger, happier teams. Why debt and excessive venture capital can destroy your company's soul. The hidden financial power of compounding growth over decades. How to attract and retain talent without giving up your equity. You don't have to follow the crowd. You can build something timeless. Max out.
