Nick talks to Jean Moncrieff, CEO of the Small Giants Community and author of Finding Freedom, who shares his personal journey of building a company, almost losing it through an ill-advised exit, and eventually selling it successfully to his management team.  The conversation explores how business owners can build high-value, purpose-driven companies that offer genuine lifestyle freedom. Jean and Nick dive deep into the crucial role of alignment, the psychology of leadership, and how to successfully navigate different exit options—including employee ownership models—by cultivating a high-performing leadership team. KEY TAKEAWAYS To successfully scale a business, founders must shift their mindset from needing to be the smartest person in the room to intentionally surrounding themselves with leaders who are highly capable of running things independently. When building a leadership team, alignment with the company's core values and unique culture is just as critical as a candidate's tactical skills and job capabilities. As an unprecedented wave of baby boomer business owners look to retire, a severe shortage of capable incoming leaders is creating a significant leadership vacuum. True financial and lifestyle freedom is achieved by systematically executing three distinct phases in order: exiting daily operational chaos, exiting the business's management operations, and finally, executing the financial exit of the business itself. BEST MOMENTS "Feed me, John, feed me... I was chasing output, I was chasing revenue... and I thought that's what this was all about."  "You don't want to control your business, you want to be able to curate above it; you want to be in charge, but control is bad because you're stuck in everything."  "I think it's almost like sticking a light bulb into the socket, and if the wiring's done right, the thing lights up." "The quickest way that I advise the founders that I work with to get to where they want to get to is bring the person who's done it. Bring the person in... and then get out of the way."

In this episode of Can Marketing Save the Planet, we are joined by Neil Callanan, founder of Loose Grip, a performance, analytics, and insights agency who work with values-led brands to bridge the gap between their activism and their commercial goals. Over the last three to four years, Loose Grip has specialised in helping brands understand how their purpose impacts both their business performance and their people-and-planet objectives. Neil shares, ”I feel like a lot of values-based brands almost look down on measuring their impact in the same way that they would measure the profits or how many things they've sold. There's a tendency to keep things separate." Separation, Neil argues, is a mistake. The two aren't mutually exclusive, they're symbiotic. "When the data is there, you can actually find pretty symbiotic relationships. Consumers, especially younger consumers, make buying decisions based on wanting to feel good about the companies where they're putting their money."  Neil feels that many brands lack the ammunition to tell that story internally, to the board, or to shareholders, to help solve this, Neil and his team developed the GRASP Framework, a process designed to help brands define clear objectives for every piece of content, then measure what actually matters. The framework typically distils objectives into two or three buckets: Discover(maximising reach) Engage(depth of connection) Convert(driving a specific action - a purchase, a petition signature, or a donation). By bringing teams together to collaboratively define and prioritise metrics, Loose Grip builds buy-in and protects against the lure of, "glamour metrics that look good but don't drive insight." Neil talks about how he sees huge potential in AI for retroactive analysis. Instead of waiting six months for data, brands can now train AI agents to analyse five years of content, identifying patterns in what worked, whether that's post length, format, timing, or language landed, this means they can start every new campaign armed with proven insights. Tune in as we talk to Neil about: Why purpose-driven brands often shy away from measurement. The GRASP Framework: moving from objectives to action by defining discover, engage, and conversion metrics. The power of creative measurement to value sustainability impact alongside commercial metrics. Using AI to enrich historical data and give campaigns a proven starting point. How to ensure your activism is authentic and not just reactive cringe. During the conversation Neil mentions some links and case studies - you'll find these below: The Grasp Your Impact Framework - https://graspyourimpact.com/ The Grasp Your Impact Podcast - for more case studies - https://graspyourimpact.com/podcast/ Case study from Ben & Jerry's - Ben & Jerry's! https://open.spotify.com/show/3jDmbKd1Vgi8ofkSoUrv1n?si=644e10c4bf474a67&nd=1&dlsi=5d2079301ca64c1d With love Michelle & Gemma ________________________________________________________________________ About us… We help Marketers save the planet.

We're celebrating PFN's birthday by shining a light on the partners who have been part of our journey toward people-first leadership, meaningful work, and purpose-driven impact. This special feature from Can't Stop the Growth with Chad Peterman captures the heart of their work and the shared mission that brings us together. Enjoy! — Leadership doesn't come with a perfect playbook, but Jeff Blade has spent decades learning what works by stepping into the unknown and leading with humility. Chad Peterman sits down with Jeff Blade, former CFO, CEO, board member, and advisor, to unpack what it really takes to lead organizations through growth, change, and complexity. From his early days in public accounting to C-suite leadership in public companies and private equity-backed businesses, Jeff shares why the best leaders ask better questions, build trust first, and understand that business is always human at its core. Jeff and Chad explore servant leadership, purpose-driven organizations, private equity partnerships, board governance, and the character traits that separate strong leaders from self-focused performers. For leaders who want to grow their business without losing sight of their people, this conversation is full of hard-earned wisdom and practical perspective.   Additional Resources: Listen to Can't Stop the Growth wherever you get your podcasts!

Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network   Key Takeaways: Lead with humility before proving your expertise. Character matters more than technical skill. Great leaders serve before they direct. Purpose-driven organizations unlock exponential performance. Private equity partnerships must fit your values.

Most importantly, they prioritized their relationship over their roles, keeping “father and son” first. This foundation created trust, freedom, and mutual respect. Through ongoing communication, they navigated differences in leadership style, with Chantry learning to build on his father's legacy rather than imitate it, allowing him to lead authentically without dishonor.Purchase Christian Leader Sight Planner (a tool that has drastically changed Ryan's productivity): Black Cover – https://amzn.to/3JpBHvm Blue Cover – https://amzn.to/4ouFRB9 Green Cover – https://amzn.to/4oXVLUr Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us Fan Mail

FEATURING: Barak Strickland ORGANIZATION: Refire Nation What happens when you change one letter in a word? You get Barak Strickland’s “retire to refire” God-given mission. After retiring from a 40-year career in the Air Force, Barak thought he was entering a quieter season of life. Instead, God used unexpected transitions to spark something entirely new: Refire Nation – a community helping retirees rediscover meaning, service, and spiritual flourishing. Barak shares how retirees at his local church went from uncertainty and frustration to renewed joy and clarity through the “Flourish” experience, rooted in Psalm 92 and focused on helping people bear fruit in every season of life. The conversation is filled with encouragement for anyone wondering if their most impactful years may still be ahead. What you’ll hear in this episode: Why Barak believes “retirement is temporary, but refirement is forevermore” How God used unexpected life changes to open new ministry opportunities The powerful transformation happening through the Flourish groups Why retirees are wired for purpose, not perpetual leisure How Refire Nation is helping people connect, learn, and serve Details about the national neighborhood picnic challenge Opportunities to get involved with Refire Nation You’ll also hear Jim launch the iRetire4Him Summer Picnic Initiative: a simple but powerful challenge to invite neighbors over, build real relationships, and create community right where you live. Listeners are encouraged to host a neighborhood picnic this summer, take a picture, and send it to jim@iwork4him.com for a chance to win the grand prize. Whether you’re retired, approaching retirement, or simply asking God what’s next, this episode is a reminder that if you still have breath, you still have purpose!

Luke Mickelson is an entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, one of the fastest-growing nonprofits in the world. After years of building businesses and chasing entrepreneurial success, Luke discovered a deeper calling: helping children who didn't have beds to sleep in. What started as a simple family project turned into a global movement that has delivered hundreds of thousands of beds to children in need. In this episode, Luke shares lessons on entrepreneurship, nonprofit leadership, fundraising, mission creep, and the surprising similarities between running a nonprofit and building a business. On this episode we talk about: How Luke transitioned from entrepreneurship into nonprofit leadership Why keeping your mission simple is critical for growth The dangers of mission creep in both nonprofits and businesses How Sleep in Heavenly Peace scaled to hundreds of chapters worldwide The realities of fundraising, nonprofit optics, and operational efficiency Top 3 Takeaways The most successful organizations stay laser-focused on solving one clear problem instead of trying to solve everything at once. Nonprofits should be run like businesses if they want to maximize long-term impact and sustainability. Passion-driven work becomes scalable when you create systems that allow other people to participate in the mission. Notable Quotes “I don't start a business to retire from it — I start a business to sell it.” “Mission creep can kill a business faster than anything.” “When you can make your mission the fundraising activity, you'll never starve.” Connect with Luke Mickelson: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukemickelson Other: https://shpbeds.org Website: https://lukemickelson.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Are you ready to start your own creatorjourney and make it big?

In this episode of HAYVN Hubcast, Nancy Sheed welcomes back author, publisher, and marketing strategist Jenn T. Grace for a conversation about marketing with intention, clarity, and purpose. Jenn shares the inspiration behind her new book, Promote Your Purpose, and breaks down her Aspen Method, a practical framework designed to help authors, entrepreneurs, and professionals market their work without getting lost in overwhelm. Drawing from more than two decades in marketing and over ten years working closely with authors, Jenn explains why so many people struggle with marketing and how skipping foundational steps often leads to confusion, wasted time, and burnout. She emphasizes that effective marketing isn't about chasing every tactic or becoming an influencer. Instead, it's about understanding your purpose, your audience, and the strategy that actually aligns with your strengths and goals. Key Points Jenn created the Aspen Method after realizing that many authors and business owners were overwhelmed by disconnected marketing tactics and needed a clearer framework for decision-making. The Aspen Method stands for Assess, Strategize, Plan, Execute, and Nurture, creating a step-by-step approach to building sustainable marketing efforts. One of the biggest mistakes people make is jumping directly into tactics like social media, ads, or influencer marketing without first understanding their audience, goals, and larger strategy. Jenn encourages people to “bring others along for the journey” while building a book, business, or product, helping create community and momentum long before launch day. The conversation highlights how relationship-building and nurturing an audience are often the most overlooked but most valuable parts of marketing success. Nancy and Jenn close the conversation by reinforcing that marketing doesn't have to feel manipulative, overwhelming, or performative. By focusing on alignment, strategy, and genuine connection, the Aspen Method helps people market in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.  Connect with Nancy LinkedIn  Instagram Website Connect with Jenn LinkedIn LinkedIn Company YouTube Substack Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Ryan Franklin sits down with Stan Gleason, Assistant General Superintendent of the UPCI, bishop of The Life Church of Kansas City, and author of The Priesthood of the Believers, to talk about what it actually looks like to break through that ceiling. Bishop Gleason makes a compelling case that the key to church growth isn't a better program or a bigger budget. It's releasing the saints to do the work of the ministry.

Mutual public honor between him and his predecessor helped build trust. He notes that people resist dishonor more than change, and that transitions demand patience—often years—to earn relational influence.

Jennifer Langton is an expert in transformational leadership who bridges bold innovation with human impact. As the former Senior Vice President of Player Health and Innovation at the NFL, Jennifer pioneered the league's first injury reduction strategy, achieving a groundbreaking 25% concussion reduction through initiatives like the Digital Athlete, developed in partnership with AWS.Her business acumen is just as impressive: she restored profitability as North America CFO for Atari, and led a revenue-boosting RFP at the NFL that delivered a 220% increase in the league's apparel portfolio.Jennifer's leadership is defined by her CTG Methodology, Connect, Trust, Grow, a framework for navigating high-stakes environments with clarity and heart. An NYU Stern MBA and AWS Women of the Cloud honoree, Jennifer embodies results-driven leadership powered by purpose, people, and progress.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart Podcast. Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Jennifer Langton, former SVP of Player Health and Innovation at the NFL, who led the league's first injury-reduction strategy and helped drive a 25% reduction in concussions, including work on the AWS-partnered Digital Athlete. Langton explains her CTG methodology, connect, trust, grow, emphasizing authentic connection to overcome resistance to change, trust built through leadership and data to scale beyond pilots, and growth through iterative wins. She shares how purpose rooted in personal adversity fueled her leadership, how aligning personal mission with organizational priorities creates transformation, and why technology and AI require a “human path” for adoption by building with, not for, stakeholders.KEY TAKEAWAYSAuthentic connection must come before trust , and trust must come before growth. Skip one, and the whole framework breaks.Your personal "why" is your most powerful sales asset. Aligning your purpose to your client's or organization's greatest need creates unstoppable momentum.You don't need to be the expert , you need to connect the experts. Leadership and sales are about asking the right questions and keeping everyone aligned to one mission.Build with people, not for them. Co-creation drives adoption; top-down mandates don't.Data empowers people, it doesn't replace them. The human path to adoption is just as critical as the technical solution.Adversity can become your superpower. Lived experience creates authentic credibility that no credential can replicate.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESIf you don't connect, your stakeholders will resist. If you skip trust, what you're building will never scale beyond a pilot.Technical playbooks don't create change, people do.People follow the version of you that's true.We built with, and not for, them. That's how we empowered them.Every time an injury was predicted or prevented, it was me winning back a piece of myself.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

When priorities like family time, prayer, rest, or personal health are consistently neglected, it often points to poor stewardship of time rather than unavoidable circumstances. Hill emphasizes the importance of a trusted “life team”—spouses, friends, and mentors—who can speak honestly about blind spots. Sustainable ministry, he says, cannot rely on talent and hard work alone; it requires intentional rhythms that “bend without breaking.”Purchase Christian Leader Sight Planner (a tool that has drastically changed Ryan's productivity): Black Cover – https://amzn.to/3JpBHvm Blue Cover – https://amzn.to/4ouFRB9 Green Cover – https://amzn.to/4oXVLUr Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us Fan Mail

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Troy James. Founder & CEO of For Laura (formerly referenced as Velora platform)Topic Focus: Leadership, identity, purpose, pressure, and performance Interview Purpose The purpose of the interview is to help high-performing leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals understand how separating identity from performance leads to healthier leadership, resilience, and long-term success. Through Troy James’s framework—rooted in leadership psychology, faith, and strategy—the conversation challenges listeners to move beyond outcome-driven validation and reconnect with purpose, values, and internal alignment, especially under pressure. Core Themes Discussed Identity vs. performance Leadership under pressure Purpose vs. goals Burnout and misalignment Faith, strategy, and leadership intersections Corporate leadership vs. entrepreneurship Tools for self-reflection and realignment Key Takeaways 1. High Performers Often Tie Identity to Results Many successful leaders measure their worth by outcomes. When results fluctuate, so does their sense of stability. When identity becomes tangled with performance, leadership becomes unstable under pressure. Insight: Performance-driven leadership creates burnout; purpose-driven leadership creates longevity. 2. Pressure Is Not the Enemy—It’s a Signal Pressure reveals gaps in alignment rather than causing failure. Pressure is never the problem. Pressure is a signal. Insight: The issue is not pressure itself, but how leaders interpret and respond to it. 3. Purpose Is Broader Than Goals Goals are strategic steps; purpose is the why behind the steps. Goals = what you want to achieve Purpose = why your work matters to others Your purpose is always bigger than the work that you do. Insight: You can achieve goals without feeling fulfilled if purpose is missing. 4. Burnout Comes From Forgetting Identity Burnout shows up when leaders lose touch with who they are while trying to satisfy systems, expectations, or results. When you forget who you are, pressure begins to eat at you. Insight: Success without identity alignment leads to emptiness, even if externally applauded. 5. Leaders Must Be Able to Name Their Skills Many successful people cannot articulate why they are successful. When you can’t speak to your skills and gifts, you don’t recognize how you got to your success. Insight: Naming your skills creates clarity, confidence, and protection against outside noise. 6. Faith and Strategy Are Not Opposites Faith does not replace planning—it informs it. Faith and strategy are not opposites. They are leadership. Insight: Trusting purpose while executing strategy creates grounded, ethical leadership. 7. Entrepreneurship and Corporate Roles Share the Same Pressure—Different Forms The environment changes, but identity challenges remain. Character is character. Identity is identity. Pressure is pressure. Insight: Whether corporate or entrepreneurial, leaders must address internal alignment. The Pathfinder Method (Troy James’s Framework) Troy outlines a structured leadership alignment process called The Pathfinder Method, designed to help leaders separate identity from performance. Four Key Stages: Resonance – Noticing misalignment across roles, energy, rhythm, and voice Design – Articulating purpose and rediscovering skills Courage (Becoming) – Living aligned identity under pressure Execution – Leading from clarity rather than fear or validation Notable Quotes “Your identity craves purpose.” “Your purpose is the reason you are here for other people.” “Nothing fixes itself—notice it and do something about it.” “You can’t control the noise, but you can control how you process it.” “When you own your truth, no one else can define you.” Overall Impact of the Interview This conversation serves as a leadership mirror—especially for: Entrepreneurs Executives Creatives High achievers experiencing burnout Leaders navigating pressure and transition It reframes success not as endless achievement, but as alignment between identity, purpose, and performance. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week in the guest chair is Leah Collins, financial coach, speaker, and host of Maxxed Out, a powerful series helping people confront their finances and the relationships tied to them. But Leah's journey didn't start on TV, it started with a moment of truth: making the most money she ever had… and realizing she had nothing to show for it.In this episode, I sit down with Leah to unpack how she transformed her own financial struggles into a thriving business, paid off $40,000 in debt, and ultimately landed her own show. We talk about the behind-the-scenes reality of building a personal brand, why communication is the foundation of financial success, and how she leveraged every opportunity to create multiple income streams.Leah also opens up about one of the most pivotal moments in her life: calling off her wedding due to financial incompatibility. That experience reshaped her entire mission and led her to focus on money and relationships, helping others navigate the conversations so many of us avoid.
