Podcasts about Persevere

The Christian life will not be without disappointment. In fact, quite often our greatest victories will be followed by great opposition. On today's PowerPoint, Pastor Jack Graham shares in his message, “How I Can Persevere,” how one of the greatest heroes of our faith got up when he was down.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Keith Milner. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to inspire aspiring entrepreneurs by sharing Keith Milner’s journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship. It emphasizes discipline, leadership, risk-taking, and strategies for building generational wealth, particularly for underrepresented communities. Key Takeaways Foundational Lessons from Childhood Growing up in a disciplined, hardworking family taught Keith accountability, integrity, and the principle of choices and consequences. Education was highly valued in his household, shaping his drive for success. Corporate vs. Entrepreneurial Mindset Corporate careers can feel secure but are often riskier because you lack control over your destiny. Entrepreneurship offers greater control and potential for generational wealth. Leadership and Teamwork Lessons from sports—teamwork, discipline, and leadership—translate directly into business success. Establishing a common goal and coaching employees is crucial, but underperformers must eventually be let go. Risk and Value Many African-Americans view entrepreneurship as risky, but Keith argues it’s less risky than employment in an at-will state. Success depends on creating value that customers are willing to pay for. Franchising Journey Relationships opened doors to Jersey Mike’s franchise ownership. Entrepreneurship requires hands-on involvement—Keith still works in his stores when needed. Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs Adopt a growth mindset and positive attitude. Follow the Five P’s: Plan, Prepare, Produce, Pivot, Persevere. Understand that entrepreneurship is a daily grind—“Every morning in the jungle, the lion wakes up running.” Notable Quotes On discipline and accountability:“If you said you were going to do something, you did it. If you were told to do something, you got it done.” On choices:“We make choices every day, and if you don’t make the right choice, there are consequences.” On entrepreneurship vs. employment:“Entrepreneurship and small business ownership is the best way to create generational wealth.” On leadership:“There are very few things in life you can do alone. You need people, you need a team.” On success formula:“You control the inputs, and therefore you can charge what you want—as long as you generate enough value.” On entrepreneurial mindset:“Plan, Prepare, Produce, Pivot, Persevere.” Swahili proverb:“Every morning in the jungle, the lion wakes up running… The question becomes, who’s going to run the fastest?” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Weekly sermons from City Lights Church based in Greeley Colorado. Featuring head Pastor Kurt Chamberlain and other guest speakers.

Episode 8 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza is a fast-moving mix of real talk, hard lessons, and the kind of “in-the-trenches” clarity you only get when builders stop pretending everything is polished.Jay Doran and co-host Mike Calhoun are joined by Vinnie Candelore Jr., Jeff Winnick, Jake Penny, Kayvon Kay, and returning guest Demetri Stakias for a conversation centered on two themes: what 2025 demanded from you, and what 2026 is requiring of you.Here's what makes this episode hit:Jake Penny breaks down a mission-driven approach to “Main Street investing” through Wealth Without Wall Street—teaching people how to move retirement dollars into cash-flowing real estate with real social impact. He shares the reality of scaling a portfolio (134 properties in four years), the pressure of a changing capital market, and the word that carried him: Persevere.Vinnie Candelore Jr. speaks like someone who finally woke up to what entrepreneurship actually is. Art may get you in the room—but relationships, systems, and execution keep you there. His word for the year: Awake. And his story is a live look at what it means to build something for your family while still learning the game in real time.Kayvon Kay brings the edge and the honesty. He talks about the founder being the bottleneck, the necessity of surrender for real growth, and what it looks like to come out of a year where the goal was simply to exist—and still end up with massive momentum. His takeaway lands hard: you don't get growth without surrender.Jeff Winnick shares “mortgage miracles” from a small team producing big results—and then gets pushed (in the best way) to define what “better” really means in 2026. The answer becomes clear: more leverage, stronger delegation, and improving as a human first.And through it all, Jay and Mike keep coming back to the point of the Lollapalooza itself: connection. The people in your world matter. The way you show up matters. And leadership isn't just output—it's care.If you're building through a pivot, a reset, or a reinvention… this episode will feel like a mirror and a push.Share this episode with someone who needs a wake-up call—and leave a review so we can keep bringing conversations like this to more people.

Standing at the Edge of a New Year with Giants in Your Path? Discover Seven Biblical Strategies to Conquer Your Greatest Fears in 2026. Few things unsettle a parent’s heart like the uncertainty and challenges a new year can bring. When the calendar flips and giants—finances, relationships, health issues, parenting worries—seem larger than life, how do we stand firm in faith and lead our families with confidence? In this empowering New Year’s episode of Christian Parent/Crazy World, Catherine takes listeners on an honest and hope-filled journey, asking the crucial question: "How do you conquer the giants staring you down in the new year?" Drawing from her own season of transition—relocating her family, homeschooling five kids, navigating empty nesting, and facing financial mountains—Catherine shares seven unshakeable principles for slaying the giants in our lives, straight from Scripture and her own experience. From recounting stories of friends facing enormous trials to sharing her own “embarrassing” moments of doubt and panic, Catherine models vulnerability and practical faith. She reminds parents: Your giant is real, but your God is bigger.

Nesta mensagem, o Pr. Rafael Lemos, com o texto em Lucas, capitulo 2, versículos 21 ao 32, nos traz uma reflexão sobre não percamos a esperança, assim como foi com Simeão.O texto acima, nos apresenta dois personagens quase silenciosos, mas profundamente cheios de fé: Simeão e Ana. Pessoas comuns, marcadas pelo tempo, pela espera e, certamente, por muitas perguntas sem respostas aparentes. Ainda assim, eles nos ensinam uma verdade poderosa: quem espera em Deus nunca espera em vão.Simeão tinha uma promessa. O Espírito Santo lhe havia revelado que ele não morreria antes de ver o Cristo do Senhor. Os dias passaram, os anos se acumularam, e nada parecia mudar. Contudo, Simeão não perdeu a esperança. Ele continuou indo ao templo, continuou crendo, continuou esperando. Até que, em um dia aparentemente comum, Deus transformou o ordinário em eterno. Um bebê nos braços, simples aos olhos humanos, mas suficiente para Simeão declarar: “Os meus olhos já viram a tua salvação.”A esperança verdadeira não depende da rapidez das respostas, mas da fidelidade de Deus às Suas promessas. Deus pode não agir no nosso tempo, mas Ele nunca se atrasa.Ana também aparece como sinal dessa esperança perseverante. Viúva, idosa, marcada por perdas, ela não se afastou da presença de Deus. Jejuava, orava e servia dia e noite. Quando viu Jesus, passou a anunciar que a redenção havia chegado. A esperança que permanece em Deus não apenas sustenta o coração, ela se torna testemunho para outros.Este texto nos lembra que a esperança não é negar a dor, mas crer apesar dela. Simeão e Ana viveram em um tempo de opressão, silêncio profético e incertezas, mas mantiveram o coração firmado em Deus.Talvez você esteja vivendo um tempo de espera. Talvez as promessas pareçam distantes, e o cansaço queira roubar sua fé. Lucas 2 nos convida a olhar para além das circunstâncias e confiar: Deus está agindo, mesmo quando tudo parece silencioso.Não perca a esperança. O que Deus prometeu, Ele cumprirá. O mesmo Cristo que Simeão tomou nos braços continua sendo hoje luz para iluminar os que estão em trevas e glória para o povo de Deus.Espere. Confie. Persevere. A esperança tem nome — JesusSe esta mensagem edificou a sua vida, curta e compartilhe com mais pessoas.Deus te abençoe!

What if the key to unlocking these capabilities lies not in another sales workshop, but in a pair of running shoes or a set of gym weights? On this episode of the Sales Reinvented podcast, I talk with Randy Neufeld, President and GM at Kubota Thunder Bay, who shares how his journey from sluggish and overweight to fit and focused transformed not just his health, but his entire sales career. Outline of This Episode [00:00] The role of fitness in building strong customer relationships and leading high-performing teams. [04:50] Consistency and planning ahead are key to effective workouts. [08:24] Change poor lifestyle choices by opting for healthier options. [12:06] Persevere through setbacks; results will gain recognition. [13:51] How exercise led to improved business opportunities for Randy. The Overlooked Link Between Fitness and Sales Success Randy pulls no punches: physical fitness isn't just about looking good, but about being sharp, energized, and ready to deliver at your best. When you're physically fit and mentally fit, you're sharper, you're more alert, you have more energy. This heightened focus and self-confidence radiate during customer interactions. First impressions count, and a salesperson exuding vitality and positivity is inevitably more compelling. Habits That Fire Up Your Day How does a busy sales leader incorporate fitness into a jam-packed routine? According to Randy, it's ruthless consistency. His formula is simple yet effective. He starts every day with an early-morning workout at a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) gym, before most people have even hit the snooze button. This non-negotiable morning ritual, coupled with a healthy breakfast, ensures he arrives at work already energized and in the right mental space. Randy recommends:  Scheduling your workouts for times least likely to be disrupted, for most, that's early morning. Making your fitness routine non-negotiable, just like an important meeting. Planning your workouts in advance, so you don't waste mental energy debating whether or what to do. Sales is notorious for high stress and burnout rates. Randy credits his morning exercise for making him more relaxed and less susceptible to stress during the workday. A lot of stress is caused by people being rushed, whereas when your blood's flowing and you've had a good meal, you're coming to work ready to go. It's a simple formula: controlled mornings equal calmer, more productive days. Tackling Common Roadblocks Many sales professionals struggle with two core lifestyle challenges: inconsistent exercise and poor eating habits. You need to protect your workout time from life's interruptions, don't accept your own excuses, and treat your workouts as you would any professional obligation. Perhaps the most inspiring part of Randy's story is the tangible effect his lifestyle change had on his career trajectory. Losing weight, eating better, and adopting regular exercise led to a more positive outlook, which in turn "opened doors" in his professional life. He transitioned into a new career, enjoyed new opportunities, and ultimately bought into a business, all steps he attributes, at least in part, to the confidence and drive fueled by fitness. Surround yourself with like-minded people, celebrate small wins, and focus on the next milestone, not just the mountain ahead. In sales (and in life), physical fitness isn't optional self-care; it's a critical lever for sustained performance and professional pride.

1 Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please…

The central message of the sermon is a call to faithful perseverance in the face of suffering, rooted in the truth that Christ's salvation is both certain and costly, accomplished through trials that are not signs of abandonment but of divine purpose. Drawing from 1 Peter 4:17–19, the preacher emphasizes that judgments, including persecution and hardship, begin with the church—not as punishment, but as a means of purifying, preserving, and advancing the gospel, even through war, calamity, and personal loss. The believer's identity as a Christian is not merely a label but a lived reality marked by open confession, moral integrity, and steadfast commitment to Christ, even when it invites reproach. The sermon underscores that the righteous are scarcely saved not because salvation is difficult for God, but because it is achieved through severe trials, which reveal the depth of God's grace and the cost of redemption. Ultimately, the believer is urged to trust in God's faithfulness, to commit their soul to Him as a faithful Creator, and to live with joyful boldness, knowing that the same grace that brought them safely thus far will lead them home. 1. Saved Via Present Judgements 2. Accomplished at Great Cost 3. Encouragement to Persevere

Welcome to the final episode in Gospel Spice's series, "Identity in the Battle." Stephanie draws from Paul's letter to the Ephesians, with a primary focus on what it means to know and live out our identity in Christ, especially amidst spiritual warfare. This serves as a conclusion to the study on our identity in Christ and how that shapes our engagement in spiritual warfare.Ephesians: Tone & ContextStephanie emphasizes two critical ways to approach Ephesians:Mature Tone: Unlike Paul's other letters, Ephesians is deeply theological and not focused on addressing specific church problems. Instead, it equips believers for mature faith, acknowledging life's difficulties, but encouraging us by affirming that victory in Christ is already secured.Context: Paul writes from prison (likely AD 62), aware these may be his final words to the church in Ephesus. Despite his chains, he speaks with gentle affection, offering encouragement and a desire for continued connection.Four Pillars in Paul's Farewell (Ephesians 6:23–24)Paul concludes with four key blessings:Peace: A deep, abiding peace (shalom) from God.Faith: Assurance in the unseen, a call to trust God in uncertainty.Love: Love that unites the community.Grace: The foundation for all Christian living.Paul challenges us to let these words be the flavor of our own walk with Christ and to root ministry and relationships in love and grace.The Spiritual BattleEach believer has a choice—either to remain bystanders or to take up their place in the spiritual battlefield. Importantly:Jesus' love is not lessened by our reluctance, but we are invited to participate in battle for the sake of others, including addressing evils like human trafficking.The enemy (Satan) is not complacent, so we must not be either. Knowing the victory is won should lead not to laziness, but to courageous engagement.Our battle is never against people, but against evil and spiritual forces. With people, we are to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit—love, patience, kindness.Handling Conflict in the ChurchStephanie points out that disagreements among Christians are inevitable. The priority is always reconciliation, but when that's not possible, it's best to move aside while continuing to pray blessings over one another, remembering that we are all fighting the same spiritual war.Five Steps for Engaging in Spiritual WarfareBecome aware of the spiritual realm.Train up: Study scripture, pray, and fellowship.Stand firm: Hold your ground in Christ's strength.Resist the devil: Persevere with God's might, not your own.Train others: Help disciple and equip younger believers.True Identity in ChristThe reality of our identity is found in the fullness of Christ. Everything—our calling, purpose, and ability to overcome—flows from knowing who God is, what He has done, who we are in Him, and what we are called to do.We are the inheritors of a deep legacy of spiritual riches and calling. So, root your life in the peace, faith, love, and grace found in Christ, remember your true identity, and take your place in the spiritual battle with courage.As the series ends, Gospel Spice invites everyone to "taste and see that the Lord is good," step boldly into battle, and empower others to do the same.Reflection/Response:-          How do Paul's final words in Ephesians inspire you to engage the spiritual battles you face today?-          What does it look like for you to stand firm in your identity in ChristEnjoying these reflection questions?

We want a warm, welcoming atmosphere to journey ever deeper into the heart of God. We believe it is the ultimate calling of the Christian life, and I like to summarize it with my motto, God's glory, our delight. That is why we invite you to “taste and see” that the Lord is good. And we have been doing this every day since 2019. We need YOU to keep Gospel Spice alive and growing.  Financially speaking, we rely on people who understand this vision and who understand that we cannot function without a minimum budget. We run an extremely tight budget. For example, I work full time but don't draw a salary. And yet, we have expenses – for example, the equipment and technology we use, and also the wonderfully gifted staff who make it possible to deliver high quality content all around the globe, and then the necessary occasional promotional budget to make it possible to be discovered by those who seek to live a life spiced with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We need your help.  So we would love for you to consider if this ministry is blessing you to pay gospel spice forward. You can partner with us monthly with $10 or $25 a month, by example, or you can make one donation, once.And because we are a register nonprofit organization in the United States under the status of a 501c3 charity, it means that the amount that you pay to gospel spice is fully tax deductible. Completely tax deductible. So you're even saving money as you invest in gospel spice ministries. It is an eternal investment, and we are very grateful to you for it.Now it's very important to us that we give back as much as possible from what you give us. And so we commit to giving the majority of what we receive, once all of our administrative costs are paid, to organizations that fight human trafficking on the front line. There are many worthwhile causes in the world, so why this one? Because I have always personally felt deep compassion for victims of human trafficking – maybe because I have never been its victim myself, so I feel a responsibility to help those less fortunate than me. Also, because Jesus tells us to love our neighbor. Human trafficking is modern day slavery, and that is something that revolts the heart of God. We want to play our part in raising awareness and then financially supporting those who fight this great evil.  So, we do some due diligence. We pick organizations who have proven themselves trustworthy of our support. And then we give money to these Christians organizations that fight human trafficking.So would you consider paying us forward at gospelspice.com/payitforward ?Your hard-earned money is always well used at Gospel Spice. Ultimately, you are giving back to the Kingdom, a portion of what Jesus has given you. We are well aware of the privilege to steward your partnership.

We want a warm, welcoming atmosphere to journey ever deeper into the heart of God. We believe it is the ultimate calling of the Christian life, and I like to summarize it with my motto, God's glory, our delight. That is why we invite you to “taste and see” that the Lord is good. And we have been doing this every day since 2019. We need YOU to keep Gospel Spice alive and growing.  Financially speaking, we rely on people who understand this vision and who understand that we cannot function without a minimum budget. We run an extremely tight budget. For example, I work full time but don't draw a salary. And yet, we have expenses – for example, the equipment and technology we use, and also the wonderfully gifted staff who make it possible to deliver high quality content all around the globe, and then the necessary occasional promotional budget to make it possible to be discovered by those who seek to live a life spiced with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We need your help.  So we would love for you to consider if this ministry is blessing you to pay gospel spice forward. You can partner with us monthly with 10, 25, 50, 100, a month, or you can make one donation, once.And because we are a register nonprofit organization in the United States under the status of a 501c3 charity, it means that the amount that you pay to gospel spice is fully tax deductible. Completely tax deductible. So you're even saving money as you invest in gospel spice ministries. It is an eternal investment, and we are very grateful to you for it.Now it's very important to us that we give back as much as possible from what you give us. And so we commit to giving the majority of what we receive, once all of our administrative costs are paid, to organizations that fight human trafficking on the front line. There are many worthwhile causes in the world, so why this one? Because I have always personally felt deep compassion for victims of human trafficking – maybe because I have never been its victim myself, so I feel a responsibility to help those less fortunate than me. Also, because Jesus tells us to love our neighbor. Human trafficking is modern day slavery, and that is something that revolts the heart of God. We want to play our part in raising awareness and then financially supporting those who fight this great evil.  So, we do some due diligence. We pick organizations who have proven themselves trustworthy of our support. And then we give money to these Christians organizations that fight human trafficking.So would you consider paying us forward at gospelspice.com/payitforward?Your hard-earned money is always well used at Gospel Spice. Ultimately, you are giving back to the Kingdom, a portion of what Jesus has given you. We are well aware of the privilege to steward your partnership.

Archbishop Foley Beach's sermon “How to Persevere in Good Times and Bad” encourages believers to stay faithful and grounded in Christ no matter their circumstances. He teaches that perseverance is not based on whether life is easy or difficult, but on trusting God's unchanging character, maintaining spiritual discipline, and guarding against both complacency in good times and despair in hard times. Ultimately, he calls listeners to anchor their hope and identity in Christ so they can remain steady, obedient, and spiritually resilient through every season.

JP compared spiritual growth to physical therapy, most of us “get by” but don't put in the work to get healthy.

November 17, 2025. Fr. Tyler's homily for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. Enjoy! Gospel Luke 21:5-19 While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, "All that you see here-- the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down." Then they asked him, "Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?" He answered, "See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and 'The time has come.' Do not follow them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end." Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky. "Before all this happens, however, they will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name. It will lead to your giving testimony. Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives."

Prayer is not a reaction. It is preparation.In this final message of the Prepared series, John Gunter teaches from James 5 about how prayer and perseverance go hand in hand. We are called to bring every situation to God whether it is suffering, celebration, sickness, or sin. True community is built through authenticity, shared burdens, and the faith to trust God even when life hurts.Key Takeaways:Faith is not just tested by trials. It is revealed in how we respondPrayer is not passivity. It is participation in God's workConfession and restoration build unity, not shame

Every man wants to be great but few are willing to endure what it takes to become a saint. In this powerful All Saints Day reflection, Fr. Dom reminds us that sainthood isn't for the perfect but for the men who refuse to quit the fight.Drawing from the Gospel of Matthew and the Beatitudes, this episode calls every Catholic man to return to the fundamentals: obedience to the commandments, the sacraments, and daily perseverance in the spiritual battle. Fr. Dom challenges you to stop making excuses, pick up your spiritual weapons, and start running the race toward heaven just like the saints did.He breaks down what it means to live the Beatitudes in real time, reminding us that the saints were ordinary men and women who chose extraordinary endurance. Just like a triathlete pushing through pain, the saint keeps moving forward even when everything in him screams to stop. The path to heaven is not for the faint-hearted. It's for those who never give up.In this episode, you'll discover:Why All Saints Day is more than a commemoration—it's a battle call for the living.How “a saint is a sinner that never gives up” should define your daily fight.Why obedience to the commandments is not optional for those who love Christ.How the sacraments—especially Confession and the Eucharist—are your training fuel for holiness.Why the saints in heaven are cheering you on like teammates in a race, calling out, “You can do this!”Fr. Dom issues a direct challenge to every man: Honor the saints, study their lives, and imitate their endurance. Find a saint whose story matches your own struggles and ask for his intercession. Heaven is your real home—live like it.He reminds us that to love Christ is to obey Him. As Scripture says, “If you love me, you will obey my commandments” (John 14:15). Those who claim to love God yet ignore His commands are, as St. John says, liars. This is the hard truth every man needs to face: holiness demands action, not lip service.You were confirmed to be a soldier of Christ. The Holy Spirit has already equipped you with every weapon you need. It's time to unlock that power and start living as a man who trains for eternity.Three Powerful Quotes from the Episode:“A saint is a sinner that never gives up.”“The saints are in heaven shouting, ‘You can do this. I've been where you are. Pray more. Go to confession. Persevere.'”“If you love me, you will obey my commandments. If you don't, you are a liar and the truth is not in you.”Send us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

The Power to Persevere by

Too many smart, capable women stay stuck in roles that feel “safe.” In this episode, Kendall Berg and Dr. Candace Steele Flippin unpack why — and how to finally break free. Drawing on groundbreaking research from her book and her SHAPE Framework (Safe, Hard Work, Advocate, Persevere, Educate), Dr. Candace reveals the hidden connection between financial stability and career confidence — and why money literacy isn't just about saving, it's about power. Together, they explore how self-advocacy, financial readiness, and strategic visibility help women move from fear to freedom. Whether you're hesitating to take a promotion, negotiate your worth, or leave a role that no longer fits, this conversation gives you the mindset and tools to stop playing it safe and start shaping your next chapter.

Radical Engagement: How to Work With, Not Against, Broken Systems   Radical Engagement: 7 Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems   We blame “the system,” but systems are just elements + relationships + results. If that's true, then changing a system means changing how we relate and respond—daily. Adam Kahane, author of Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems, shares seven habits that let ordinary people move complex issues forward—at work, in community, and at home.   Key Points: Radical Engagement (the umbrella). Engage with the system—alert, curious, relational—rather than lecturing at it. Reflect: Where am I “arms-crossed”? What would leaning forward look like this week? Relate in Three Dimensions. Actors: parts of a whole working toward an outcome. Parties: distinct interests and incentives. Kin: fellow humans with dignity and emotion. Reflect: Which dimension do I overuse? Which do I ignore? Look for What's Unseen (and unheard). We discover blind spots by listening to people in other positions in the system. Reflect: Who sees what I can't? Who's the one person I should interview this week? Work with the Cracks. Systems aren't smooth; they're full of fissures where change can start. Reflect: Where's one small opening I can ring “the bell that still can ring”? Experiment a Way Forward. Run small, safe-to-try tests instead of debating perfect plans. Reflect: What's a 2-week experiment I can launch with current resources? Collaborate with Unlike Others. We don't need identical values to work together; cities function because strangers cooperate daily. Reflect: Which “unlike other” is essential to my goal—and how can I invite them in? Persevere—and Rest. System shifts take years; pace yourself so you can stay in the game. Reflect: What boundary or rhythm would keep me sustainably engaged?   Money Learning: Profit follows structure and structure follows relationships. Your market, team, vendors, and regulators are the system. Profitable change happens when you: map incentives (party dimension), humanize conflict (kin), and design experiments that prove value quickly (actors).   Key Takeaway: Don't wait for perfect alignment or a perfect leader. Practice one habit in one crack this week.   Guest Bio: Adam Kahane is a renowned facilitator and author who has helped leaders across the world—from South Africa's transition to democracy to cross-sector climate initiatives—work together across deep differences. His latest book is Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems.   Links: https://reospartners.com/our-people/adam-kahane https://reospartners.com/ LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-kahane/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/reospartners/   If this episode sparked an idea, share it with a leader who's stuck in a “system problem.” Then try one small experiment this week and tell me how it goes.   Richer Soul Ep 262 - Facilitating Breakthrough: How to Remove Obstacles, Bridge Differences, and Move Forward Together with Adam Kahane: https://richersoul.com/?s=262   #RicherSoul #SystemsThinking #Leadership #Collaboration #PersonalGrowth #Purpose #InnerWealth #RadicalEngagement #ListenToUnderstand #CultureChange     Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.
