“Usually, people are not trying to kill you or keep you alive for nefarious reasons, unless you're very old and very rich and very mean.” -Patricia De Fonte When most people think of estate planning, they imagine dividing assets among children or a spouse—but Patricia De Fonte, founder of De Fonte Law, offers a broader and deeper perspective. Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with Patricia to explore what “estate planning with heart” really means, especially for those without children or partners. People often name child-free individuals as caretakers without their consent, adding invisible burdens. To anybody in this situation, Patricia urges taking ownership: ask questions, know what's expected, and ensure fair compensation. Far from dry legal jargon, Patricia's approach to estate planning is a refreshing blending of emotional realism with practical wisdom. The stories she shares—from hospital disputes to posthumous family rifts—tell us just how crucial it is to name the right people, update our documents, and make our values explicit. She encourages everyone to assemble a personal and professional support team, use tools like detailed healthcare directives, and even consider gifts for healthcare proxies as acts of compassion. Plan not just for assets, but for relationships and peace of mind.   Key Topics: Patricia's Philosophy on Estate Planning (03:38) Burden of the Unasked Role (05:11) The Dangers of Safe Deposit Boxes (07:04) Healthcare Directives and Family Conflict (08:59) The Reality of Fiduciary Roles (15:17) “What do You Mean by Liability?” (32:33) Updating Documents and Avoiding DIY Pitfalls (39:16) Stephanie and Kevin's Wrap-Up (49:43)   Resources: DeFonteLaw.com De Fonte Law on YouTube     If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

The internal voice of doubt can be a source of discomfort that needs to be navigated. Team dynamics are crucial; each member brings unique strengths to the table. Belonging is a fundamental human need that can drive us to extreme challenges. Leadership in climbing involves significant responsibility for others' safety. Experiencing discomfort in nature can provide a sense of control over one's life. Having someone who believes in you can change your life trajectory. Leaders must confront the weight of their decisions and their impact on others. Consistency and honesty are essential traits for effective leadership. Understanding individual needs within a team enhances trust and collaboration. Leadership is a customized process that requires deep relationships. Operating from your values increases your chances of success as a leader. Self-reflection is essential for personal growth and leadership development. Love and connection are critical components of effective leadership. Intent behind actions significantly affects how they are received by others. Judging someone's capability based on appearance is misleading. Climbing Everest multiple times was necessary for recognition in a male-dominated field. Loss can create space for new opportunities and growth. You don't need to be perfect to be deserving of love and success. The journey of healing and self-acceptance is ongoing and transformative.   TITLES Climbing the Heights of Leadership The Power of Personal Values in Leadership Breaking Barriers: Women in Mountain Guiding Redefining Success Beyond Achievements The Heart of Leadership: Love and Connection   Get a copy of her book HERE.

Today's guest is Neil Mehta, founder of Greenoaks Capital. In 2012, aged 27, Neil left D.E. Shaw to start Greenoaks with his friend Benny Peretz. One of their first investments was in Coupang, a South Korean e-commerce company led by founder Bom Kim. Neil was so convinced of Coupang's potential that he invested 40% of their initial $50 million fund into the company—a bet that eventually returned about $8 billion. Over its first 13 years, Greenoaks has backed legendary companies like Figma, Wiz, Carvana, Stripe, Discord, Rippling, and Toast—generating over $13 billion in gross profits with a 33% net IRR. Henry Kravis, one of Neil's early investors, describes him as "extremely disciplined" with "exceptional timing" who has "gone against the tide many times." Greenoaks operates with remarkable concentration: just 55 core companies across nearly $15 billion in assets, managed by only nine investment professionals. Their approach reflects their singular pursuit: finding companies that will become a meaningful part of the S&P 500. In our wide-ranging conversation, Neil shares this mission along with his framework for identifying exceptional founders, his concept of "jaw-dropping customer experiences," and how his grandfather's gun shop in India shaped his appreciation for builders of all kinds.

In this captivating episode, Craig Felker, Chief Brand Officer at JMAG, shares his remarkable journey and deep insights on authentic branding that resonates beyond product features.Craig reveals how his past as a Christian rock band frontman unexpectedly prepared him for leadership in an industry he never imagined entering. "I thought I had separated my identity from being Craig, the front man of Hearts of Saints, and it was this really hard time because I was like, what am I going to do?" This vulnerability becomes a throughline in our conversation as Craig emphasizes how authentic leadership creates environments where people feel valued.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when we explore what truly differentiates successful brands. "Good companies have customers. Great companies have fans," Craig notes, pointing to examples like Harley-Davidson and Bucky's that create emotional connections before customers ever encounter their products. We unpack how shed companies can develop this same passionate following by leading with core values rather than simply selling structures.Perhaps most provocative is our discussion about the industry's fragmented marketing approach. We challenge conventional thinking about dealer networks and manufacturer relationships, suggesting that collaboration and unified brand messaging might better serve everyone. "If you lead with your culture, your core values, and that is your brand... people want to align themselves with companies, with brands that they have shared values with."Whether you're a dealer struggling with positioning, a manufacturer questioning your market approach, or simply fascinated by authentic leadership, this conversation offers refreshing perspectives on standing out in a competitive landscape by simply being true to who you are.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: Union Grove LumberCALLuxGuardShed Geek MarketingShed ProMaking Sales Simple

Every woman has something that's tearing away at her esteem —a part they wish they could change. Many of us struggle with internal battles, feeling defined by societal perceptions of beauty or worth. In his message, The Noblewoman Era, Dr. Gabe draws from the biblical story of Leah and Rachel, illustrating how societal and internal pressures can shape—even skew—our self-worth. Leah, often overshadowed by Rachel's beauty, teaches us that our perceived imperfections do not define our potential.Support the showText encounteratl to 94000 to stay up-to-date on all things Encounter.Worship with EncounterSundays at 9 AM ET | Wednesdays at 7:30 PM ETSupport EncounterText egive to 77977 Connect with EncounterFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | WebsiteConnect with Dr. GabeInstagram | YouTube | Website

Today on The Career Flipper, host Jenny Dempsey is chatting with Michael Mattson, whose career journey is a perfect example of how small, intentional shifts can lead to massive transformations. Michael started out as a mail carrier, delivering letters door to door—and yes, getting to pet all the dogs along the way! But beyond the friendly pups, he saw firsthand the importance of both customer and employee experience, which set him on a path of discovery and career growth.With a high-empathy mindset, Michael made small leaps that took him from the frontlines of the postal service into a corporate customer experience role, and eventually across the country to become the Manager of Customer Experience for a global organization. He now also serves on advisory boards for multiple CX organizations, helping shape the future of the field.In this episode, we dive into:The power of mentorship and why you shouldn't be afraid to lean on your networkWhy employee experience matters just as much as customer experienceThe importance of finding the right workplace culture for long-term happinessHow small, calculated risks can open unexpected doorsThe delicate balance between career ambitions and personal passions—and why Michael chose to keep photography as a creative outlet rather than a jobHow embracing vulnerability at work can strengthen professional relationshipsMichael's story is a reminder that career changes don't have to happen all at once—sometimes, it's the little shifts that add up to something big.Connect with Michael

I'm gonna go the personal values. They just look at the opposite way around for the simple reason I built those as very bespoke, not bespoke. But yeah, I built them quite bespoke. Darren A.

Establishing personal values is the first step in gaining clarity around what's most important in your life. Next, is the process of setting goals. Without a set of personal values to help drive good (and faster) decision making, you run into unnecessary frustrations, and it can often feel like your goals are out of reach. Your values will help guide you, troubleshoot problems, and they will make goal setting and achievement so much more fun. In this episode, I share my revamped values for 2025 and how I organize my goals around them.

In today's episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy explores the profound responsibility that comes with leadership and the undeniable influence leaders have—whether they realize it or not. Leadership isn't just about making choices; it's about understanding the weight of those choices and the impact they have on the people who follow. Kris challenges both leaders and followers to reflect: When was the last time you revisited your values? Are you making decisions based on your own beliefs, or simply following someone else's lead? She urges listeners to take a step back, dig into their core values, and ensure they're aligned with the people and organizations they choose to follow. But leadership doesn't exist without followership. Kris dives into the often-overlooked responsibility of followers, emphasizing that it's just as crucial for them to understand their own values. “It is as incumbent upon followers to know what their values are, as it is for leaders,” she says. Too often, people look to leaders for direction without first identifying what truly matters to them. “If you assume a role of leadership, you have a tremendous amount of responsibility,” Kris reminds us. People naturally seek guidance, and as a leader, you set the course—whether for a team, a business, or a community. This episode is a call to step into leadership and followership with clarity, intention, and a strong foundation of personal values. Key Takeaways From This Episode Understanding the Responsibility That Comes with a Leadership Role: Discussion of how easy it is for people to be placed in leadership roles based on the followers around them. Leaders Can Influence and Shape People's Actions and Decisions The Importance of Clear Values for Both Leaders and Followers: Self-awareness and clarity about one's values. The Challenge of Different Interpretations of Shared Values Values in the Workplace: Understanding the values of your organization and your leaders.

In this episode, Dr. G dives into the recent $1.2 billion acquisition of Siete Foods by PepsiCo and what it could mean for the health-conscious consumer. Siete, known for its grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free Mexican-American-inspired products, has gained a loyal following for its commitment to allergen-friendly foods. But now that PepsiCo is taking the reins, can we be sure the quality and authenticity will remain intact? Dr. G also reveals several health and wellness brands you may not realize were acquired by major corporations, including Annie's, RXBAR, and Garden of Life.
