Podcasts about real purpose

Growth is hard. Growth inside a family enterprise is harder. Because in a family business, every strategic decision carries emotional weight. Every acquisition, every hiring choice, every leadership disagreement touches not just the company — but the relationships that built it. That's where family business governance becomes the difference between sustainable growth and generational fracture. In Episode 127 of The Family Biz Show, Christina Armentano, third-generation leader of Paraco Gas Corporation, shares what it really takes to grow a multi-location energy company without breaking the family behind it. Her insights reveal that family business governance isn't theory. It's daily discipline.   The Founder's Grit Is Not a Governance Strategy Christina's grandfather was born in 1929, the year of the Great Depression. He didn't finish grade school. He started working young. He built the company through charisma, salesmanship, and relentless drive. That founder grit built the foundation. But grit alone doesn't sustain three generations. As family enterprises mature, family business governance must evolve beyond personality and instinct. What works for a founder rarely scales to siblings, cousins, and future generations. Growth demands structure.   Why Outside Experience Strengthens Family Business Governance Christina didn't step directly into the family company. She spent nearly a decade outside the business: Executive search MBA Internship at the largest propane company in the U.S. Turned down multiple early opportunities to join Why? Because strong family business governance requires competence, not entitlement. When next-generation leaders build experience elsewhere, they return with: Credibility Financial discipline Confidence Perspective Governance begins with earned authority.   Two Roles. One Discipline. One of the most powerful lessons in this episode: "You have your shareholder role and then you have your employee role. Those are two very separate roles." This distinction is the heart of effective family business governance. Ownership thinks long-term. Employees execute short-term. Shareholders protect capital. Employees protect performance. When these roles blur, conflict accelerates. When they're clearly defined, growth stabilizes.   Communication Is the Engine of Family Business Governance Christina shares her grandfather's advice: "Do right by the business and the business will do right by you." That statement reflects mature family business governance thinking. Open lines of communication. Business lens over personal lens. Disagreements that are never personal. Clear separation between family emotion and enterprise decision-making. Without disciplined communication, growth becomes personal. With governance, growth becomes strategic.   Acquisition Growth Without Governance Is Dangerous Paraco has completed more than 60 acquisitions. That kind of expansion requires structured family business governance. Christina breaks acquisitions into two stages: Due diligence Transition Strong governance means: Written checklists Clear deal leadership Objective financial review Emotional detachment from transactions Written transition plans Ego left at the door One critical lesson: retain what you have first. Retention is governance. Foundation is governance. Infrastructure before scale is governance. Without disciplined family business governance, acquisition momentum becomes chaos.   Selling a Business Requires Governance Discipline Too Christina emphasizes something most owners overlook: "The deal is never done until the deal is done." During a sale process, owners must continue running the business as if no deal exists. Why? Because strong family business governance protects optionality. If performance slips, leverage disappears. If emotion rises, valuation suffers. If the owner becomes dependent on the deal, negotiating power evaporates. Governance protects freedom.   Industry Leadership as Governance Maturity Christina serves as President of the New York State Propane Gas Association. When propane faced regulatory bans in New York, competitors collaborated to protect the industry. This reflects expanded family business governance thinking. Governance is not just internal. It's external influence. It's political awareness. It's industry collaboration. Mature family enterprises understand they are stewards of an ecosystem, not just operators of a company.   Coaching, Peer Groups, and Governance Accountability Christina credits her Vistage experience for sharpening her leadership. Peer groups: Call out blind spots Pressure-test strategy Provide emotional separation Create accountability Outside perspective strengthens family business governance by preventing insularity. Family enterprises that refuse external input often stagnate.   The Three Rules That Protect Growth Christina's closing advice distills governance into three principles: Family members must want to be there. Separate personal from business. Give yourself grace — but earn your seat. Each one reinforces family business governance at a human level. Engagement. Clarity. Discipline. Without those, growth fractures relationships. With them, growth strengthens legacy.   The Real Purpose of Family Business Governance Family enterprises are uniquely powerful because they combine trust and long-term thinking. But that same proximity creates risk. The purpose of family business governance is not control. It is alignment. Alignment between: Ownership and leadership Growth and stability Family values and enterprise vision When governance is intentional, growth compounds. When governance is ignored, conflict compounds. Episode 127 is a masterclass in how disciplined family business governance allows you to scale acquisitions, navigate succession, develop next-generation leaders, and protect the family behind the enterprise.

Send a textThe “place” command is one of the most misunderstood tools in dog training, and it's often taught in a way that completely misses its real purpose.In this episode of Think Like a Dog, we break down what “place” is actually meant to do for your dog. It's not just about staying on a bed or mat. It's about teaching emotional regulation, building coping skills, and creating a space where your dog can truly relax.We talk through why using “place” only during high-energy or stressful moments can backfire, how dogs form associations with their environment, and what calm actually looks like in training. You'll learn practical techniques for teaching place the right way, including leash guidance, spatial pressure, tethering, and how to gradually introduce distractions without creating anxiety.This episode is for dog owners who want more than obedience—who want their dogs to feel safe, settled, and confident in a busy world. When taught correctly, “place” becomes a sanctuary, not a punishment.Support the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9 @OzzieAlbiesFoundation Work with Mirror Image K9 here: https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest: https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.com Learn More About The Best Chance Program: https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

In this podcast episode, Tavershima Ayede breaks down a simple but powerful idea: Integrity is your most profitable business strategy. Tavershima moves past the "fluff" of ethics and explains exactly how honesty builds a sustainable company in today's market.1. The Real Purpose of BusinessFollowing the philosophy of management expert Peter Drucker, Tavershima argues that the goal of a business isn't just "making money"—it is to create a customer.The Chain Reaction: When you focus on creating a customer first, the wealth, personal freedom, and social impact you desire will naturally follow.The Foundation: You cannot fund a better life or help your community if you don't have a solid, recurring customer base.2. Radical Honesty as a Growth ToolTavershima advocates for Radical Transparency in marketing. This means being upfront about what your product can't do, as much as what it can.No Hidden Fees: Using the example of solar installations, he shows how "hidden costs" for cables or brackets destroy trust instantly. Even if you get the first sale, you've lost the customer for life.Protecting the Vulnerable: Ethical marketing means refusing to manipulate the elderly or children with "hype" or buzzwords (like "AI" or "Passive Income") that hide the truth of the service.3. The "Greedy" Case for IntegrityTavershima humorously refers to himself as a "greedy bastard" to make a serious point: Being honest is the most efficient way to get rich.Referrals vs. Marketing: It is much cheaper to have a happy customer refer a friend than it is to buy new ads. Referrals only happen when there is trust.Reputation Protection: In the digital age, one angry customer can damage your brand more than ten happy customers can help it.4. Taking Action: Training for EntrepreneursTo help business owners apply these principles, Tavershima offers a structured training program focused on:Picking a Winner: Choosing the best business idea from the many you may be "juggling."Market Validation: Proving people actually want to buy what you are selling.The Selling System: Building a predictable process for revenue and referrals based on a "clean conscience."

Creation has never worked through strategy, planning, or control — and Episode 176 explains why. In Part 100 of The Story of Creation, we move beyond manifestation culture and human systems to reveal how universal existence actually creates: through intention, energy, participation, and experience. This is not philosophy, belief, or opinion — it is consciousness explained from the universal perspective. Humans were designed to learn in layers, but those layers were used to build misbeliefs that separated us from our natural ability to create. Strategy, systems, and survival thinking were never meant to lead existence. Creation unfolds through intention becoming energy, energy becoming experience, and experience feeding evolution. When we understand this, we stop trying to force outcomes — and start participating in existence as we were designed to. 0:00 — Why Humans Were Designed to Learn in Layers 3:47 — The Real Purpose of the Story of Creation 6:07 — Ancient Human Intelligence and Universal Knowledge 10:18 — How Energy Is Programmed Before Physical Matter Exists 14:11 — Earth as a Conscious, Evolving Participant 18:35 — Why Salt and Water Were Designed to Purify Life 23:27 — How Human Technology Disrupted the Biosphere Balance 26:31 — Intention Becomes Energy, Energy Becomes Experience 34:39 — Restoring Humanity's Creative Potential Without Strategy This episode explores: • Why learning in layers was used to manipulate human perception • How universal beings experience creation without judgment or perspective • Why emotional trauma exists only at the human level • How matter becomes experience through vibration, frequency, and intention • Why salt, water, minerals, and biology were designed to coexist • The difference between manifestation and universal creation • Why strategy lowers creative frequency • How intention becomes energy, then experience • Why fulfillment comes from participation, not recognition • How humanity restores its creative potential without hierarchy This conversation is for humans who are done interpreting truth — and ready to understand the truth of existence, reconnect with universal intelligence, and actively participate in creating the future of human existence.

Pastor Kim demystifies biblical fasting, sharing his initial reluctance as a new believer and how understanding its purpose made it a regular, life-changing practice. He highlights how fasting denies the flesh, allowing the spirit to lead and produce self-control as a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Jesus teaches that certain breakthroughs require prayer and fasting. Pastor Kim outlines five key purposes: denying the flesh, putting the spirit in control, fostering self-control, leading to spiritual breakthrough, and setting up an abundant year.CONNECT WITH US:→ Request Prayer: https://bit.ly/3zMyf5E→ Request Care: https://bit.ly/3fBTX5G→ Share a Testimony: https://bit.ly/3Jo7Ped→ Find Events and More: https://bit.ly/3TcrkcR→ Leave us a Review on Google: https://bit.ly/47925jP→ Plan a Visit in Person: https://bit.ly/3sfQdg7FOLLOW US:→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/illuminatec...→ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@illuminate_ch...→ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/illuminatech...WE HELP PEOPLE FIND ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS!

Send us a textControl doesn't create a meaningful birth experience—clarity does. We dive into the real purpose of a birth plan and show how to turn a rigid checklist into a living compass that anchors your values, guides decisions, and strengthens partnership with your care team. Instead of chasing a “perfect” script, we focus on agency, communication, and the skills that keep you grounded when labor takes an unexpected turn.We trace the history of birth plans from the natural birth movement to modern templates and unpack how the purpose got lost. You'll hear a reality check on pain management—what hospitals actually offer, how relief varies, and why unmedicated goals can morph into pressure. We lay out practical prep for coping: breathwork, positions, movement, mindset, and the environmental choices that help you feel safe. Then we dismantle the myth that staff are responsible for your experience and replace it with a model of partnership in which you lead with your voice while your team supports with expertise.To move from scattered preferences to a cohesive vision, we offer coaching questions that clarify what you want to feel, which choices matter most, what's in your control, and who needs to be aligned—your provider, partner, and doula. This value-first approach reduces confusion, improves decision-making under stress, and lowers the risk of birth trauma by keeping you informed, respected, and engaged. By the end, you'll have a framework to document preferences with purpose and the confidence to adapt without self-blame.If this resonates, share it with a friend who's building a birth plan, subscribe for more coaching-led birth prep, and leave a quick review to tell us which question shifted your mindset.

Healing, growth, and personal transformation — with or without a label. This episode is the final conversation in The Unlimited Life™ Starter Series —The 10 most powerful episodes from the Addiction Unlimited archives to help you rebuild your rhythm, structure, and emotional peace. And I saved this one for last for a reason. Because what Ian Morgan Cron and I talk about here goes beyond sobriety…Beyond addiction…Beyond labels. This is about transformation. The truth is, everyone has patterns.Whether it's alcohol, perfectionism, food, control, or people-pleasing — we all have behaviors we use to cope.And the 12 steps offer a framework to heal the emotional root — not just the habit on the surface. You don't have to be an alcoholic to feel overwhelmed.You don't have to be a drug addict to crave peace.And you don't need a label to want something more. This episode is your reminder that you belong in the work of healing — no matter how it looks on the outside. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the 12 steps work for any human — not just those in addiction What it means to transform your character, not just your habits The truth about higher power — and why you might already have one without realizing it What to do when you feel like you're “not sick enough” to belong How the 12-step framework helps with emotional sobriety, identity work, and deep personal growth In this episode, I sit down with Ian Morgan Cron, author of The Fix, to talk about how the 12 steps aren't just for addicts — they're for humans.

In this conversation with Kolbie Blume, we explored how embracing imperfection can lead to deeper fulfillment in our creative pursuits. We discussed the concept of focusing on tiny moments of wonder rather than the final product, highlighting that the magic lies in the process, not the outcome. Our chat reminded me of the importance of investing in oneself and making room for personal joys, despite the everyday trade-offs and responsibilities that often overshadow our own needs. Rediscovering hobbies and allowing ourselves to be beginners opens doors to joy and self-acceptance. It's about learning to prioritize ourselves on our list of responsibilities, exploring creativity without fear, and finding joy in the messiness of life. Remember, it's not about achieving perfection but about valuing the process and the personal growth that comes with immersing yourself in something you love, just as it is. Through this interview and my personal journey, I realized that being messy is, indeed, part of the magic. Celebrate 9 years of About Progress by submitting to our annual Favorite Things Giveaway!

The Secodn is the heart of every story, where transformation happens. You'll learn why this “middle” isn't just filler, but the symbolic journey that tests your characters, deepens your theme, and gives your ending power and meaning.

You can know better and still not do better.✔️Avoidance is sneaky. We often gaslight ourselves by calling procrastination “processing.”✔️Action is the only way out. You must choose to do what you already know you need to do.✔️Your identity must evolve. The next version of you can't live with the old version's beliefs.✔️Pick one thing and do it today. Even small action shifts your perspective and builds momentum. Timestamps & Highlights[00:00] – The Real Purpose of This Episode[04:17] – When Strategy Fails: The Missing Ingredient[08:45] – Why Most People Sabotage Their Growth[12:30] – The Root Cause of Friction in Business & Life[17:50] – How to Recognize Your True Capacity[21:20] – Embodiment Over Execution[25:15] – The Permission Slip You've Been Waiting ForWant to stop spinning your wheels?

  Marriage is supposed to make us happy, right? I mean, that's what we've been sold: the perfect spouse, the fairytale wedding, the happily ever after. It sounds good, right? But what happens when life doesn't follow the script? When your spouse disappoints you, says things that kind of make you mad, or just doesn't complete you like rom-coms promise?   Suddenly that belief that marriage is here to make us happy, it starts to feel less like a dream and more like a setup... a setup for bitterness, for disappointment, maybe even walking away. So today we are trading that lie for a truth that is harder, but it is better because what if marriage wasn't meant to complete you, but to grow you, to make you more like Christ?   Join my husband and me as we chat with Ryan and Allie Lundeen @proverbsthirtyonegirl for an exclusive true confessions interview talking about how God confirmed “this is who you're gonna marry,” counter-cultural ideas of marriage, and personal stories we didn't even know we'd share.

What if I told you you're turning down $6–10 million for no good reason—and you don't even know why?This 5 Minute Friday is for every orthodontist who's built something substantial... and still hesitates when private equity comes knocking. I'm not here to sell you on joining a DSO or OSO. I'm here to challenge you to get clear on why you wouldn't—especially when the math says it's one of the best financial opportunities you'll ever have.In this episode, I break down the mindset, money, and misconceptions around private equity deals. If you're sitting on a $3M–$10M practice and you've brushed off conversations without ever running the numbers, you're not making a strategic decision—you're making an emotional one. I'll share real-world examples, financial logic, and why orthodontists are the only group of entrepreneurs I've met who resist this kind of exit. Whether you're leaning in or leaning out, this episode will give you clarity.QUOTES“Everybody else on earth starts companies and sells them when an 8-digit offer comes in... Why are orthodontists different?”— Dr. Glenn Krieger“I'm not telling you to join. I'm telling you: if you're not doing it, what's your reason?”— Dr. Glenn KriegerKey TakeawaysIntro + why this episode matters (00:00)What's the real purpose of your practice? (01:25)Making money isn't evil—it's the point of work (03:45)Are you putting in the energy your goals demand? (06:10)Why private equity offers do make financial sense (08:20)Common fears and myths—and why they don't hold up (11:40)The real risk of doing nothing (15:15)Final reflection: clarity beats comfort (17:50)Additional Resources I've seen firsthand how running the numbers—really running them—has changed the trajectory of practices and lives.This isn't about selling out or giving up control. It's about knowing your options, making smart financial moves, and understanding when an opportunity might never come back. If you've received an offer and aren't sure whether to take it, DM me. I don't get paid either way—but I've had this conversation hundreds of times and I'll help you think it through.

Send us a textThe heart of the culinary industry isn't found in offices or award ceremonies – it's at the stove. Chef Brent Weathers proves this with every dish he creates and every truth bomb he drops in this refreshingly honest conversation about what really happens behind kitchen doors.Unlike many of his contemporaries who chase titles and management roles, Brent deliberately chose a different path. By remaining "titleless," he gained something far more valuable: direct mentorship from renowned chefs, opportunities to travel for pop-ups and restaurant openings, and the freedom to focus purely on craft. "I'm literally living my dream," Brent shares, explaining how his happiness comes from cooking rather than administrative duties.Through his social media series "Brentflix" and "Massaclass," Brent exposes the dysfunction that plagues professional kitchens – from improper food storage to careless handling practices. His unflinching documentation serves a crucial purpose: showing aspiring chefs the unvarnished reality of an industry often glamorized by television.  Introducing the SupraCut System - the automated solution that enhances safety, quality, and efficiency, cutting up to 120 perfect citrus wedges per minute, 6 times faster than manual.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, I sit down with my co-host Drew to rip into one of the most turbulent weeks in global politics and economics we've seen in a long time. We break down not just the moves, but the motives and the possible massive consequences behind Trump's high-octane foreign policy—from slashing tariffs with China and locking in a colossal Saudi investment deal, to taking the unprecedented step of targeting Big Pharma with an executive order to lower drug prices. We get into whether all this fast action is actually helping America or just stirring up more chaos. Are we leveraging our moment, or just getting played by the likes of Xi and Putin? Does tough talk and bold negotiating end with real results for America, or are we setting ourselves up for long-term headaches, especially with midterms on the horizon? Then we peel back the layers on some of the rawest culture war issues, from immigration crackdowns in the UK, the controversy about a Muslim-majority city in Texas, to the viral video of world leaders acting out-of-pocket on a train to Kiev.

It's Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel is engaging with students at Kennesaw State University, exploring topics like the complexity of the human body pointing to a creator, why Christianity offers real hope that postmodernism cannot, and how the Bible satisfies life's biggest questions. Segment 1: • Does Your Body Prove God Exists? – Is the complexity of your own body evidence of a creator, or just a product of evolution? • Why God's Justice Affects You – If God is truly just, what does that mean for you and your eternal future? Segment 2: • Can Good Deeds Erase Bad Ones? – Why trying to “balance” good and bad actions doesn't work in a legal or spiritual sense. • The Resurrection Proves It All – If Jesus truly rose from the dead, does that confirm everything He said? Segment 3: • Is Life Just Luck and Meaningless? – If we're just lucky cosmic accidents, does anything we do actually matter? • Where Can You Find Purpose? – Without a clear answer to life's biggest questions, you are destined to chase after empty things Segment 4: • What's the Real Purpose of Life? – If you aren't doing everything for God, is it all meaningless? • God's reason for the universe – How God displays His mercy, grace, and lovingkindness by saving sinners like you and me. ___ Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme ___ Thanks for listening!

Choose a metric regarding the health, wealth, and fulfillment of men and it's easy to see that men are either falling drastically behind our female counterparts or, at a minimum, on a downward spiral. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a contest between the sexes (That would suggest that it's a zero-sum game. It's not). But it's a glimpse into modern man's gradual decline in his ability to protect, provide, and preside in his life and the lives of those he cares about. Matt Beaudreau joins me on the podcast today to talk about why this is the case and how our steady decline starts at a young age and inside the halls of academia. We talk about Trump's desire to shut down the Department of Education, how government and academia have distracted us from true learning, why you'll never find your purpose – you must forge it, living a life by design – not default, and the importance of the “Hero's Journey.” SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Episode Introduction 00:40 - Dismantling the Department of Education: A Good Move? 03:17 - Defining Success: Beyond Standardized Tests 07:13 - Should We Lower the Bar for Everyone? 10:55 - Do People Give Enough to Charity? 14:23 - How Crisis Brings Out the Best in People 17:44 - Creating Opportunities for Young Men 23:17 - A Bold Idea: Free Mentorship for Boys from Single-Mother Homes 27:10 - The Real Purpose of Education 31:27 - Why Men Feel Isolated and Alone 37:58 - Do Men Find Their Purpose, or Do They Forge It? 47:32 - The Natural Drive to Do More 53:30 - Learning from Personal Crisis: The Hero's Journey 54:14 - Fired Up: Turning an Idea into Action 56:17 - The Power of Intentionality in Men's Lives Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 104 "Safe spaces" on college campuses are not new. In fact, they're not a very old, very tired topic. So is all of the "Coddling of the American Mind" (https://amzn.to/3O6nEtl) infantilization like we recently saw on campuses across America in the wake of President Trump's second electoral victory. The thing is, these obviously pathetic phenomena serve an educational purpose. That is, they're pedagogical. Their real purpose is to convince young minds that it is traumatic when politics don't go Left and then to "structure the environment to resolve that [trauma] productively" for Woke causes. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the twisted pedagogical purpose of safe spaces, coloring books, puppies, and bubbles as a response to politics that rejects Marxism. Join him for an important lesson. New book!
