In this episode of The Way We See It, Alex has a rich and thought-provoking conversation with Jason Hurt, Founder and Principal Consultant at Hurt Consulting, an organization dedicated to guiding faith-based nonprofits and mission-driven organizations toward sustainable impact. Jason shares his bold journey of leaving corporate America—stepping away from power, performance, and a comfortable paycheck—to follow God's call into the nonprofit world. After briefly owning a business, he quickly realized that his deeper purpose wasn't in profit margins but in people and mission. Now, he helps leaders align vision with impact and navigate real transformation. Jason shares some of the key lessons he's learned along the way: Never trade influence for impact. Surround yourself with people who aren't impressed by you. And regularly audit your calendar to make sure your time reflects your values. With the release of his new book, Climbing Down the Ladder, Jason is a voice for men looking to exchange hustle for calling, and success for significance. #ChristianBusinessman #FaithAndLeadership #PurposeDrivenLife #ClimbingDownTheLadder #JasonHurt #HurtConsulting #FromSuccessToSignificance #NonprofitLeadership #KingdomImpact #MenOfFaith #TheWayWeSeeItPodcast #FaithInAction #AuthenticLeadership #AuditYourCalendar #LeadWithPurpose #ChristianMenWhoLead Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

DeDe Halfhill is the Founder and Principal Consultant at TAIOH Partners, a leadership consulting firm. As a retired US Air Force Colonel, keynote speaker, and advisor, she has over 25 years of leadership experience, including advising the Commander General in Iraq and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. DeDe has developed the Master the Unseen™ framework — the hidden and emotional dynamics shaping alignment, trust, and momentum in teams.  In this episode…  Leaders often believe that data, KPIs, and dashboards tell the whole story of their organization. Yet, beneath the numbers are unspoken emotions and hidden dynamics that drive or derail performance. When leaders avoid difficult conversations or overlook the emotional undercurrents within their teams, they risk making costly mistakes and missing opportunities. How can leaders confront these invisible forces and lead more effectively? Retired Air Force Colonel and leadership advisor DeDe Halfhill emphasizes the importance of curiosity, reframing negativity, and making team members feel seen and heard. Leaders can engage in coaching techniques to uncover the fear behind resistance, promote accountability, and recognize when their strengths and ideas can become liabilities. By addressing emotions directly and building trust outside of crisis moments, leaders can foster resilience and connection and boost performance. In today's episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, DeDe Halfhill, Founder and Principal Consultant at TAIOH Partners, joins William Harris to discuss uncovering the leadership blind spots that can derail performance. DeDe talks about reframing dissent as care, the identity crisis leaders often face after major transitions, and the importance of acknowledging humanity in the workplace.

Every choice has a consequence — success is intentional. The decisions we make for our companies have a ripple effect on society and the environment.    Interdependency exists in everything. Our businesses require customers to stay in business. Additionally, having options to access materials and technologies is essential for delivering goods and services. There are many interdependent parts of a company, and recognizing each point where we connect with people and entities outside our own orbit is empowering.    This depth of knowledge allows for curiosity and an understanding of how business is conducted, enabling you to make informed decisions knowing you have the correct information at your disposal.   In this program, you will hear that every choice has a consequence, that business success is intentional, and how to discern the signal in the noise using feedback loops. The biggest pitfalls of filtering information are that the filter may use unrecognized ideology or confirmation bias.    Your host, Jess Dewell, talks with Kevin Howard, Principal Consultant at Climate Changes Everything®, LLC, about how leadership is evolving and how, even in the midst of change, with planning, you can shape the success of your future.   —-----------------   If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the “Growth Framework Reset” approach. This will help you to keep learning and growing while working strategically on your business. -------------------- You can get in touch with Jess Dewell on Twitter,  LinkedIn or Red Direction website.

This broader perspective fosters greater collaboration and addresses common regulatory and patient needs.Challenges in Acceleration: Key hurdles include complex regulatory environments, the need for increased collaboration among diverse experts (neuroscientists, biologists, engineers), and adapting to emerging technologies like AI.The Power of External Collaboration: Bringing together different industry players helps establish a unified voice for regulatory changes, benchmark best practices, and break down barriers to faster progress, especially as neurotech pushes ethical and technological boundaries.Learning from Other Verticals: While neurotech faces unique challenges, insights from established fields like orthopedics and CRM, particularly regarding rapid product development (e.g., "Moore's Law" in tech), offer valuable lessons for accelerating innovation.Navigating Complexity and Ethics: The brain's inherent complexity and the fluid concept of "normalcy" introduce unique challenges for neurotech. This includes addressing profound ethical considerations, such as the potential for enhanced human capabilities to exacerbate societal inequalities.Fostering Open Dialogue: Community platforms that focus on "mundane"

Have you ever had a work situation that took you to your knees and required your faith that everything was going to be okay? I have. In one of my roles, my boss told me that I wasn't the right fit for the role and that I was going on the dreaded performance improvement plan or PIP for short. I was typically the person that was helping others improve their performance, not the employee that was told my performance wasn't measuring up to expectations.When my boss provided me that news, I felt like I left my body. I immediately felt fear. Questions like, “Am I going to be fired?” or “What do I do next if this doesn't work out?” started swirling over my head like storm clouds.The next year was a mad scramble to try to fit in the mold of what my boss wanted me to be while simultaneously looking for a better cultural fit in a new job. That time was fraught with fear and overworking. I didn't even see another choice – that I could have softened into surrender.My guest today, Dr. Shawnte Elbert, has faced her fair share of career struggles, but unlike my position of overdriving, Shawnte learned a concept that I love: inhale faith, exhale fear.
