Podcasts about personal motivation

Guest: Karen Barbour   Guest Bio: ​With nearly 40 years of surety experience, Karen Barbour founded The Barbour Group in 2002, a nationally licensed surety agency focused on construction bonding and advocacy, with offices in Maryland and Tennessee. TBG is a certified DBE, WBE, WOSB, and WBENC firm. Her advocacy sparked in the late 1990s when achieving a Federal Acquisition Regulation change permitting annual bond forms to support five-year contracts instead of one bond for five years, giving small and minority 8(a) firms the capability of bonding such projects. Karen serves on the U.S. SBA's National SBDC Advisory Board, MAA (BWI) Small & Minority Business Advisory Council, as Vice Chair for AMAC's Government Affairs Committee, and on boards such as Women Construction Owners & Executives and Girl Scouts of Central MD for over 10 years. Karen co-founded the Alliance for Hispanic Commercial Contractors, Party For A Cure, and the National Small Business Party. She continues to manage an exclusive surety bond program with Hensel Phelps Construction Co. that to date has bonded over $170,000,000 in subcontracts with no losses.   Key Points: Early Career and Challenges as a Woman Started in the insurance and surety industry in the 1980s as one of the few women in a male-dominated field. She faced pay inequality and a lack of mentorship or grooming for leadership. Despite working 80-hour weeks, she wasn't offered ownership opportunities.   Founding the Barbour Group After a successful career as a bond producer, she left to start her firm in 2002. Her motivation included economic independence, work-life flexibility, and family care (as a single mom and caretaker for her father with Alzheimer's).   Passion for Cold Calling Loved the challenge and directness of cold calling. Used it to differentiate herself and prove her value in a field where women were not readily accepted. Emphasized understanding of construction and surety underwriting, which made her uniquely effective.   Advocacy for Minority and Women-Owned Businesses A pivotal moment came in her 20s when she unintentionally walked into a minority contractors' meeting. Shocked by the industry's bias (her company directed underwriters to flat-out decline minority applicants), she left and began actively advocating for diversity. Worked to bond minority and women-owned firms, growing underwriting from $250,000 to $2.5 million in a year without losses.   Personal Motivation and Values Grew up in a polluted, working-class neighborhood in Maryland. Experienced loss and hardship early in life (lost her mother at 11). Driven by empathy, fairness, and a strong sense of justice. Discovered later in life that her biological father was a neurosurgeon, which helped her understand her innate compassion.   Diversity, Inclusion, and Economic Equity Emphasizes the importance of seeing and celebrating cultural differences, not ignoring them. Believes diversity brings better business outcomes and strengthens communities. Argues that systemic exclusion limits contributions from capable individuals and that access to capital and education are key.   Community and Social Impact Initiatives Founded the Alliance for Hispanic Commercial Contractors to support minority businesses with financial assistance, consulting, and sponsorships. Created Party for a Cure, a nonprofit supporting children with neurological diseases. Developed a political platform, the National Small Business Party, to give small businesses a stronger voice in policy.   Core Philosophy Step through fear—growth and purpose lie on the other side. Use business as a vehicle for empowerment, particularly for underrepresented groups. Diversity isn't just a value—it's a strategic imperative for societal and business success.     Guest Links: www.thebarbourgroup.com www.ahcc-midatlantic.org www.nsbpusa.org – National Small Business Party Home | Minority Business RoundTable | Washington, D.C. - Nonprofit for AHCC www.pfac-md.org Party For A Cure – Nonprofit that helps kids with Neuromuscular Diseases       About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

What if doing the most good was simpler—and more within reach—than you ever imagined? In this powerful episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius is joined by world-renowned moral philosopher Peter Singer for a conversation that will challenge how you think about ethics, generosity, and your role in making the world better. Peter, best known for his groundbreaking work “The Life You Can Save,” shares thought-provoking insights on effective altruism, the moral obligations of those living in affluence, and how small, intentional actions can create ripple effects of real change. From fighting global poverty to advocating for animal rights, Peter's work has inspired millions to rethink their impact—and today, he might just do the same for you.

He founded Monash University's Centre for Human Bioethics, co-founded Animals Australia, and established the nonprofit The Life You Can Save. Recognized as Australian Humanist of the Year in 2004, he is considered one of Australia's most influential public intellectuals.

Purchase The Disengaged Teen at https://rebeccawinthrop.com --- In this episode of WISE On Air, we dive into a critical conversation about teen disengagement with Rebecca Winthrop, co-author of the newly released book "The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids Learn Better, Feel Better, and Live Better." Rebecca, who serves as a senior fellow and director of the Center for Universal Education at Brookings, brings fresh insights from her groundbreaking research, which reveals a startling disconnect: while parents think 60% of kids love school, the reality is that by 12th grade, only 25% actually do. Her book, which launched with conversations featuring Gayle King and Drew Barrymore on Oprah Daily, offers a powerful framework for understanding how teens engage with learning and what we can do to help them thrive. Through extensive research involving hundreds of interviews with students, parents, and educators, Rebecca and her co-author Jenny Anderson identify four distinct modes of engagement that shape how teens approach learning. More importantly, they provide practical strategies for parents and educators to help teens develop what they call "explorer muscles" - the skills needed to navigate an increasingly complex world. The timing couldn't be more crucial. With rapid technological changes and evolving workplace demands, helping teens become engaged learners isn't just about academic success - it's about preparing them for a future where adaptability and self-directed learning are essential skills.

Spicewell's salts are free of these harmful additives and are lab-tested for heavy metals and contaminants. The Role of Ayurvedic Principles: The new pepper blend combines turmeric and black pepper, utilizing a traditional Ayurvedic principle that enhances curcumin absorption, making it a powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient. Clean Sourcing and Transparency: Spicewell emphasizes sourcing clean, responsibly mined pink Himalayan salt and lab-testing products for purity. Consumers are encouraged to investigate and understand the origin of their pantry staples. Nutrient-Rich Natural Blends: Spicewell's new salt contains 21 vitamins from vegetables, providing a daily nutritional boost while maintaining a flavor profile similar to traditional salt. Raising Awareness on Food and Health: Both Raina and Jen discussed the need for greater consumer awareness around food labeling and additives. They stressed the impact of food on chronic conditions and the importance of clean eating. Creating a Movement for Change: Raina is working to build a coalition of clean-label brands advocating for policy changes in the food industry to ensure healthier, cleaner options for consumers. Practical Usage Tips:The new salt and pepper can replace traditional products in everyday cooking, providing a 1:1 swap without compromising flavor, while adding functional benefits like stress relief and inflammation reduction. Shakira Niazi's Links:Website: https://spicewell.com/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rainakumra/, https://www.linkedin.com/company/spicewell/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kumratronic/?hl=en, https://www.instagram.com/spicewell/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thespicewell/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@spicewell X: https://x.com/TheSpiceWellYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUzZig0BbM8pzXKJ-VNMlnwJen's Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wakeupandreadthelabels Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WakeUpAndReadTheLabelsThe Wake Up Label Letter: https://jensmiley.substack.com/subscribeApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wake-up-and-read-the-labels/id1618784569 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7v3WcgicHQrjU9iCEcLZLX

In this enlightening and motivational holiday edition of the "Stuck In My Mind Podcast," host Wize El Jefe delves deep into the realms of creativity and personal growth with special guest Rich Kirkpatrick. Rich, a seasoned author, church musician, and blogger, shares his wisdom on how to unlock one's inner creative potential through collaboration, curiosity, and the right mindset. #### **A Journey of Creative Exploration** Wize El Jefe begins the episode by reflecting on his own journey in the world of podcasting. Initially spurred by the necessity to discuss pressing current events like the George Floyd situation and the 2020 elections, Wize found his true calling in shifting the podcast's format to feature interviews and conversations aimed at spreading a message of positivity. This transition not only brought personal fulfillment but also inspired his listeners, demonstrating the transformative power of collaborative discourse. The conversation then gracefully transitions to Rich Kirkpatrick's story. Raised in a strict religious household by a resilient single mother, Rich experienced the tension between creativity and practicality from an early age. Suppressing emotions in favor of practicality was the norm, a contrast Rich continuously grappled with as he matured into a musician with a taste for innovation. His passion for rule-breaking jazz artists reflects his journey toward embracing creativity despite tight constraints. #### **The Power of Community and Collaboration** Rich emphasizes the unparalleled significance of collaboration and community in any creative endeavor. His early days of blogging in 2005 serve as a testament to the importance of these elements. By connecting with other church musicians, Rich built a community that not only honed his voice but also enhanced his communication skills. This sense of community is something Wize deeply resonates with, as listeners' feedback and the conversations with guests have profoundly impacted his personal growth and the podcast's success. #### **Turning Frustration into Fuel for Creativity** One of the episode's key takeaways is the idea of using frustration as a catalyst for creation rather than destruction. Rich aptly articulates that dissatisfaction with the status quo can push individuals to innovate and bring about meaningful change. This notion correlates with creativity being both a mechanism of personal growth and a tool for societal transformation. #### **Practical Insights on Journaling and Curiosity** The discussion underscores the importance of journaling, whether public via blogging or private. Both Wize and Rich share their positive experiences with keeping a journal, emphasizing its benefits for organizing thoughts, reflecting on personal growth, and fostering creativity.  Curiosity, as Rich explains, is another crucial element in the creative process. He likens it to the practice of spotting out-of-state license plates as a child, a simple yet effective exercise in noticing the unnoticed. Wize supports this idea, sharing how practicing curiosity has opened new avenues for his podcast topics and interview questions. #### **The Science Behind Creativity** Rich introduces listeners to the fascinating science behind creativity, discussing brain networks like the default mode network (the "wizard") responsible for generating ideas, and the central executive network (the "robot") that organizes and judges these ideas. Effective creativity involves seamlessly switching between these modes – a concept known as lateral thinking. This scientific view demystifies the creative process, making it accessible to everyone, not just those traditionally perceived as artistic. #### **Leadership Through a Creative Lens** The episode also sheds light on how creativity intersects with leadership. According to Rich, effective leadership involves navigating four distinct "universes": human resources (family), structure (factory), politics (jungle), and team dynamics (stadium/banner). A creative leader is versatile, able to switch between these frames and harness creativity to foster an environment where team members feel safe to express ideas without fear of repercussions. #### **Embracing Failure and Fostering a Creative Environment** Rich and Wize agree on the inevitability of failure in any creative endeavor. However, they stress that setbacks should be viewed as integral components of the creative journey rather than obstacles.  Creating a supportive environment where team members can freely voice their ideas is crucial for creativity to flourish. Encouraging open dialogue and showing humility as a leader can significantly enhance creative output and empower the team. #### **Personal Motivation and Addressing Misconceptions** Motivation for creative work should stem primarily from an internal belief in the project's mission, rather than external rewards like money. Rich and Wize discuss how holding an intrinsic motivation contributes to long-term success and satisfaction in creative endeavors. The episode also addresses common misconceptions about creativity, emphasizing that everyone possesses creative potential. Creativity manifests in various forms, from traditional arts to everyday activities like cooking or business planning. The idea that humans are naturally wired for creativity is supported by scientific evidence. #### **Inspirational Stories and Insightful Recommendations** Wize and Rich draw inspiration from iconic figures like Tony Bennett, who began painting at the age of 60 and continued to evolve creatively through collaboration. This story serves as a powerful reminder that creativity and learning are lifelong endeavors. Rich recommends two influential books for those seeking to enhance their creative processes: "Steal Like an Artist" by Austin Kleon and "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. Both books offer practical insights and inspiration for overcoming creative blocks and embracing the artist within. #### **A Heartfelt Conclusion** As the episode draws to a close, Wize expresses heartfelt gratitude for Rich Kirkpatrick's engaging insights and the valuable discussion. He extends his thanks to the podcast's listeners, team members, and essential workers, wishing everyone a safe and joyous holiday season. Rich's reflections on integrating meaningful activities into life and finding personal intrinsic worth resonate deeply, leaving listeners with a profound sense of empowerment and inspiration to unlock their inner creative genius. In conclusion, this episode of the "Stuck In My Mind Podcast" with Rich Kirkpatrick is a treasure trove of wisdom on creativity, personal growth, and leadership. It encourages listeners to embrace their creative potential, leverage community and collaboration, and find motivation from within to navigate the challenges and joys of the creative journey.
