People are quitting their jobs a lot these days. Should you try to avoid it or let people go? It depends…. There are some good reasons why someone might leave their job: relocation retirement family illness new opportunity I wouldn't consider any of these “quitting”. They are reasons for change. No one would fault your company for them and so it doesn't hurt recruitment/retnetion. What does hurt though is when someone feels bad enough that they quit - decide it's not worth it. It's important to understand the difference between these two things and the real reason why someone would bail on gainful employment. This will help to understand how to give people what they need to have a joyful work experience and stay. Have a generous rest of the week.

You can't do generous culture alone and that's why you have to close the loop. The great news is that you two thirds of the way there. It's important to understand how culture is “felt”. It's key in this case because the exponential growth factor is accessed in this flywheel of giving. The third step in the process is what ignites your entire teams passion for a giving culture. It's where educate them on what's working and encourage them to jump in and add their own twist. Once they know, they go. That puts them in their own loop and attracting others. Have a generous rest of the week.

John talks with Peter Awad — a 5-time business founder, co-founder of Mission Meats, founder of the Slow Hustle Podcast, leadership and executive coach, coach for Christian businessmen, and proud husband and dad. Peter talks about his transition from running multiple businesses to becoming a coach, his Legend Planner and how he uses it to stay aligned with his purpose, goals, and vision for life. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Intro [01:15] - Peter's background [02:12] - Early life and entrepreneurial journey [04:10] - Discovering coaching as his true calling [06:58] - The 3 Ps: Pain → Purpose → Platform [09:13] - Separating identity from your career [11:28] - The gap and the gain [14:19] - Why men struggle to celebrate their wins [16:31] - Peter's Legend Planner and how it helps him stay aligned [23:24] - The power of gratitude and perspective [25:43] - How negative self-talk affects your brain [28:53] - How Peter's daughter recovered from a stroke [31:26] - Peter's podcast Slow Hustle [35:10] - Entrepreneurship isn't always as glamorous as it looks [37:33] - Need for entrepreneurs to create white space [40:31] - How fear impacts white space [45:00] - Outro NOTABLE QUOTES: “What's ordinary to you is magic to others.” “Part of life, to me, is discovering why. Why am I here? Because I'm not here just to occupy space. I'm supposed to be doing something with this gift I've been given, called life. What do I do with it?” “We entangle our identity and our occupation… that's not you. You've got to untangle this stuff.” “The cycle of life, you're either growing or you're dying. There is no in-between.” “Those little baby steps along the way are a good thing. They don't necessarily feel great in the moment. They feel okay. It's just when we take the moment to stop, turn around, and look to see how far we've come, then we realize we have grown so much.” “Your identity is worked out over time, in community.” “Want what you already have.” “Anytime you're pointing at someone, remember — there's a thumb headed up toward heaven, three other fingers pointing back at you. So whatever you say to somebody should apply to you at least three times as much.” “Seeking certainty is a lack of faith. God is not a God of certainty. He's a God of mystery. And when you can embrace the mystery, then you're like, ‘Oh, I don't need certainty. Wherever he wants me to go, I go.” “False identity is that you're a bad dad, you're a bad husband, you're a bad community leader... the true identity is what God tells you. It's what He reveals to you.” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://whitestonecoach.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterjawad/ https://www.instagram.com/thepeterawad/ https://www.facebook.com/thepeterawad https://x.com/peterawad CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen X - https://x.com/johnhulen LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

Are you caught in a loop of overthinking, over-planning, or playing it too safe? In this episode, Megan sits down with acclaimed psychologist, author, and TEDx speaker Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona (Dr. Z) to explore how high achievers can break free from anxiety, over-analysis, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.This conversation is a must-listen if you're ready to untangle old patterns, create more ease, clarity, and alignment in your life, and finally trust yourself to navigate uncertainty.Quick Note: This episode is part of an unintentional mini-series!

Picture this: it's June, the sun is calling your name, and all you want to do is sit poolside with an iced coffee without thinking about your inbox, Slack messages, or the dreaded social media algorithm. You tell yourself, "This summer I'm going to take a real break. I deserve it. I need it."But then the panic hits. What if my audience forgets about me? What if my sales dry up? What if everything crumbles while I'm lounging at the cottage with no wifi?I've been there, and I get it. Every year I set the intention to take time off, and most years I have to fight those mental gymnastics trying to convince myself it's okay to step away. But here's the thing – you can absolutely take time off, unplug, slow down, AND your business can still thrive. You just need to plan for it.In this episode, I'm spilling the tea on exactly what I do in my business every summer to create space, stay visible, and keep the money flowing while traveling, resting, and living life at a slower pace. Whether you're running a course business, coaching practice, or done-for-you services, there are strategies here that will make your summer feel like the breath of fresh air it's meant to be – not a financial meltdown.What You'll Learn:How to automate money-making with payment plans and mini funnels that work while you're off the gridThe "passive visibility" strategy using low-cost ads and smart content batchingWhy affiliate campaigns are perfect for summer income (with zero delivery required)CEO-level reflection prompts that lead to breakthrough business insightsHow to batch an entire summer's worth of content using AI toolsThe mindset shift that lets you step away guilt-free without your business collapsingWhy summer is actually the perfect time to run ads (hint: they're cheaper!)Resources Mentioned:Senja.io: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/senjaThrivecart: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/thrivecartConvertKit: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/convertkitManyChat: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/manychat Support the show
One of the things I try to do on this show is get away from the binary good vs bad framing that so many of us fall into, and explore the messy complexities and grey areas within the environmental and conservation movement here in the northwest. That's why I enjoyed today's conversation so much.My guest today is Tabatha Rood. Tabatha is a former Forest Service National Environmental Policy Act planner and currently leads the Wild Rivers Coast Forest Collaborative in Southwest Oregon.As a former Forest Service project planner and collaborative leader, Tabatha brings a set of experiences and perspectives that are often missing in our broader dialogues.As you'll hear, Tabatha and I didn't agree on everything in our conversation, and there were a number of topics that we didn't have time to go as deep on as I would have liked. But I really appreciated her willingness to engage with me on some thorny topics, and I found her perspectives really valuable.As always, Coast Range Radio is free on all podcast apps, which is a great way to share this episode. We are also broadcast on community radio stations across the northwest. A lot of them are struggling right now, and I cannot ask strongly enough that you support local, independent media!My email is coastrangeradio@gmail.com, let me know what you think of the show!https://www.instagram.com/coastrangeradio/

In response, they claim to offer a new model of partnership between the U.S. government and American business. The discussion covered: The plausibility of the book's arguments; How the book is a Trojan Horse for collectivism; How the book undermines freedom and promotes central planning; How the book rehashes old ideas; Why only a free society is worth defending; The disturbing metaphysical premises behind the book's worldview.

“The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.” - Proverbs 14:8When it comes to saving, spending, and talking about money, our God-given temperament plays a bigger role than we think. Today, Kathleen Edelman shares how understanding your wiring can lead to better financial decisions and healthier money conversations.Kathleen Edelman is the author of “I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication.” She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.What Is Temperament—And Why Does It Matter?Temperament was studied by Hippocrates 2,000 years ago. It's innate, unchangeable, and part of your design by God, like your eye color or fingerprint. In contrast, “personality” evolves based on culture, upbringing, education, and environment.This foundational understanding is essential not just in relationships but also in how we approach money.Temperament influences how we budget, spend, save, and even how we talk about money. Here's how each temperament—Yellow, Red, Blue, and Green—sees financial decisions through a unique lens:YELLOW (Sanguine): The Fun-Loving GiverWiring: Optimistic, relational, in-the-moment.Financial Outlook: Sees money as a way to connect and create experiences. Often spontaneous and generous, but may avoid serious conversations about finances out of fear of conflict or damaging relationships.Growth Tip: Build guardrails around spending while leaving room for joy. Schedule regular money conversations to reduce anxiety.RED (Choleric): The Visionary LeaderWiring: Goal-driven, results-oriented, confident.Financial Outlook: Excels at goal setting, budgeting for success, and achieving results. May be impulsive or steamroll others in decision-making.Growth Tip: Invite feedback and take the time to consider other perspectives. Collaboration builds trust.BLUE (Melancholic): The Cautious PlannerWiring: Detail-oriented, safety-driven, analytical.Financial Outlook: Needs detailed plans, emergency savings, and financial security. Prefers structure and predictability.Growth Tip: Communicate your need for time to process financial decisions. Allow room for flexibility while maintaining your desire for order.GREEN (Phlegmatic): The Peaceful StabilizerWiring: Calm, steady, conflict-avoidant.Financial Outlook: Values simplicity, consistency, and low-stress systems. May avoid decisions that involve conflict or complexity.Growth Tip: Don't be afraid to speak up about your financial opinions. Take the time you need, but be intentional about engaging.Why Temperament Matters in Money ConversationsMost miscommunication is not intentional. For instance, it could be that you're speaking ‘blue,' and they're hearing ‘yellow.'” That misalignment can be costly, both relationally and financially.To bridge the gap, learn to recognize both your own temperament and the temperament of the person you're speaking with. Then, speak their language.Example: A Yellow Talking to a BlueA Yellow might say: “Hey _______, I know details matter to you. Can we sit down together and make a plan that gives us both a vision with a little room for fun?” This honors the Blue's need for order and gives space for the Yellow's desire for connection.Example: A Red Talking to a GreenRather than saying, “We need to figure this out now,” a Red could say: “I'd love us to make a simple plan together so that we both feel secure. We can talk it through at your pace.” This respects the Greens' need for harmony and time.Next Steps for Growth and StewardshipKathleen's workbook, I Said This, You Heard That, is designed to help you better understand your wiring—and live it out in strength, not weakness. It's not about changing your temperament but becoming fluent in the languages of others.Inside the 2025 edition, you'll find tools to help you:Name your tendencies and choose healthier responsesDiscover your “innate needs” (which she calls a game-changer)Revisit conversations with grace and self-awarenessBecome fluent in your own and others' communication stylesWhen we understand our design, we communicate better. When we communicate better, we make wiser financial decisions. And when our finances reflect intentional, Christ-centered communication, our relationships and witness grow stronger.Learning to speak the language of others says: I care about you. That changes everything.I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication (2025 Edition) is available now wherever books are sold.

People are quitting jobs like crazy these days. I support the people who are in “net-negative” situations - the ones that take away from their life despite giving some basic things like a paycheck. I also support those who don't feel aligned with the mission of the company. But what about everyone else? There are plenty of these and companies and leaders could do a better job of building the right culture for their enjoyment. I have 6 things that stick out to me as key reasons why people quit (and they don't have exist). You'll want to recognize these things and eliminate them from your culture. Have a generous rest of the week.
At the end of 2023, there was this phrase I kept hearing in my head on repeat. "It doesn't feel safe to slow down."I'd end my days feeling completely depleted mentally, physically, and emotionally. And yet I'd still push myself to do more. Sometimes it was work stuff, sometimes it was home stuff. But I had this constant, almost compulsive need to be doing something productive at all times. Rest felt elusive, like this thing other people could do, once they'd earned it. For me, rest basically just meant sleep. It was a quick reset so I could get up and do it all over again.Sound familiar? Let's figure out how we can unlearn that habit.-----Episode Mentioned: 314.

Trying to DIY your way through AI isn't showing grit—it's wasting precious time and opportunity. And I say this as someone who LOVES to figure things out myself! I'm seeing too many capable founders (especially women) stalling out because they're stuck in what I call "prompt purgatory"—constantly collecting AI resources but rarely implementing them.What if the shortcut isn't cheating? What if it's actually the smart CEO move that you're avoiding? While you're saving that fifth tutorial to watch "later," someone else has already launched their product or tripled their output with AI doing the heavy lifting. That's the new reality.I'll share how my own business transformation began when I took a shortcut by investing in a Pinterest course years ago—a decision that collapsed my learning curve from years into weeks and became the foundation for everything I've built since.What you'll learn:Why "shortcutting" with AI is about collapsing timelines, not cutting cornersThe hidden costs of DIYing your way through AI (time, energy, missed opportunities)How to shift from "scrappy founder" to "smart CEO" mindsetWhat AI mastery in 2025 actually unlocks (building funnels in a weekend, tripling content output)Why the entrepreneurs who thrive this year won't be the ones who "kinda know" AIResources Mentioned:AI Unlocked Summit: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/ai-unlocked (May 27-29, 2025) Support the show
