What truly matters more in hiring—skills or character? Dave MacDonald, founder of Better Together Group, brings hard-earned wisdom to this age-old question. After being fired multiple times in his twenties ("I was a lousy employee"), Dave transformed these setbacks into powerful leadership lessons that now guide his successful HR and staffing business.With refreshing honesty, Dave introduces us to his "WTF philosophy"—Work hard, Tell the truth, Finish the job—and explains how these principles shape his approach to identifying standout candidates. Through his powerful furnace metaphor, he demonstrates how the right combination of intensity (the fire), integrity (the firebox), and intentionality (the ductwork) creates teams that genuinely thrive together.Beyond philosophical frameworks, Dave offers practical, immediately applicable interview techniques. Learn why asking for multiple examples of the same character trait reveals authenticity, how pattern interruption separates rehearsed answers from genuine responses, and when to prioritize filling a position versus waiting for the perfect candidate. His advice balances real-world business needs with the pursuit of character-driven cultures.Perhaps most compelling is Dave's vulnerability about his own leadership journey. "I'm still very confident, but I'm also a scared little boy inside at times too," he admits, reminding us that authentic leadership requires acknowledging our full humanity. Whether you're hiring for your organization or preparing for your next career move, this conversation provides a fresh perspective on what truly matters in building successful teams.

This Father's Day, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a soul-shaking, Spirit-filled word that cuts through shame, silence, and struggle with a blazing invitation: Stop Hiding Hope. Whether you had the blessing of a godly father—or carry the scars of absence, pain, or brokenness—this message reminds us that we all share a perfect Heavenly Father. One who protects, provides, and calls us His own. But this message goes deeper. It's not just about who your Father is... it's about what He's done for you—and why it's time to TELL IT. Are you in the test of your life? Has your joy, peace, marriage, or purpose been under fire? Pastor Travis prophetically declares that your test is the evidence of a coming testimony. It's not just a story—it's spiritual warfare. Your testimony is a weapon. It's a prophecy. It's the power of salvation for someone else. From the ashes of Job to the shout of the woman at the well, the Bible echoes with one truth: what God did for you, He wants to do through you. Your story is more than pain survived—it's hope revealed. But it only works if you stop hiding hope. It's time to go public with your story. Let your scars preach. Let your survival speak. Let your breakthrough roar louder than your breakdown. Because hell doesn't fear your church attendance—it fears your testimony.

Do you wear "busy" as a badge of honor while still feeling behind? You're not alone. In this powerful conversation with productivity expert Jones Loflin, author of Focused as a Bee, we explore how busyness may be the very thing blocking your goals. Drawing from the focused nature of honeybees, Jones shows that true productivity comes not from doing more, but from doing what truly matters.Through his TAD framework (Transfer, Automate, Drop), Jones shares practical ways to reclaim your time. He explains how identifying the "micro purpose" behind tasks, breaking projects into small “one jobs,” and even embracing rest—like bees taking 40 naps a day—can boost your effectiveness and reduce burnout.Jones also uncovers the three main distractions hurting your focus: internal thoughts, external noise, and unclear expectations. His simple strategies help you minimize interference and maximize impact. The key takeaway: performance improves when we remove what's getting in the way. So—what will you eliminate today?

Kumar Parakala delivers a timely wake-up call for leaders stuck in outdated models amid the rise of AI and digital disruption. Drawing from his experience building billion-dollar digital businesses and advising prime ministers, he argues that rigid hierarchies and authoritative styles are no longer effective. Instead, leadership today demands empathy, agility, and a clear sense of purpose.Kumar boldly states, “AI will take your job,” but urges leaders to see this as evolution, not extinction. His seven principles for disruptive leadership—like embracing purpose, challenging norms, and practicing radical accountability—offer a roadmap for staying relevant in a fast-changing world.Most importantly, Kumar emphasizes that human skills like empathy and connection will be more valuable than ever. As machines handle complex tasks, true leadership will be measured not by titles, but by impact. His message is clear: lead the change or be left behind.

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | June 1, 2025   Referenced Scripture: 10:14-17, Matthew 10:19-20, John 16:7-8 Reflection Questions:1. “Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary use words.” -Saint Francis of AssisiEvaluate this statement. What you like or dislike about it? 2. What has caused you to be hesitant to talk to your friend or neighbor about your story of faith in Jesus? Have you had any positive or negative experiences? Explain. Take time to write out the 3 parts of your faith story… 3. Part 1: My Life before JesusWhat was your life like before you met Jesus? If you grew up in church knowing about Jesus, what was your life before you got serious following Him? 4. Part 2: How I Met JesusHow did you become a Christ-follower? Did you go through a particularly tough time in your life that led you to God? Did a friend invite you to a church service? Did a family member introduce you to Jesus? Did an experience inspire you to fully commit to following? 5. Part 3: My Life since I Met JesusWhat difference has following Jesus made in your life? How has knowing Him impacted how you walk through both the good and the hard times in life? In the sermon we talked about the difference between religion and Christianity was DO vs. DONE. How would you explain this idea to someone who was not a person of faith? Questions to help understand where a person is at on their faith journey: * Do you have any kind of spiritual background?* Do you have a belief in God? What do you think God is like? How did you come to those beliefs about God?* Do you think you are moving toward God, away from God, or staying about the same?* If you were to stand before God and He were to ask you, why should I let you into heaven, what would you say? 6. Reflect: What do you like or dislike about these questions? What questions would you add? 7. Romans 10:14-15, 17 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” ... Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Why would you say it is necessary to use our words to help someone understand the “good news” of the gospel? How would explain the good news to someone with no faith background? What are the things they need to understand in order to make a decision to follow Jesus? 8. Who is someone in your life you could share your story with this week?

Have you ever felt that knot in your stomach before speaking to a group? That flutter of fear that makes you question whether you should just stay quiet? What if that sensation isn't weakness but potential trying to break through?Following my powerful conversation with Israel Duran—who transformed from a boy who would get in trouble to avoid public speaking into a globally sought-after speaker—I'm sharing my own framework for turning speaking anxiety into impact. At the heart of this transformation is what I call the Competence-Confidence Cycle. Unlike what many believe, you don't need to feel confident before taking action. When you take even imperfect steps, you build competence, which naturally grows confidence, creating a virtuous cycle of growth.Great speaking isn't about charisma but clarity. I outline how focusing on just 1-3 memorable points creates more impact than overwhelming your audience with information. Learn why the strategic use of silence—the power of the pause—might be the most transformative speaking tool you're not using. Discover how storytelling and metaphor can move your message from intellectual understanding to emotional connection, making your ideas stick long after your words fade.The next time fear rises before you speak, recognize it not as an obstacle but as a signal that you're about to do something meaningful. This awareness itself is transformative. Remember that effective speaking isn't about perfection but presence. Speak with purpose, with clarity, and with a desire to serve rather than impress. Each time you step forward despite your fear, you strengthen this muscle until one day, speaking becomes not just something you can do, but something you love to do.Send us a textSupport the show✅ Follow The Leadership Project on your favourite podcast platform and listen to a new episode every week!

What if the very thing you fear most holds the key to your greatest impact?

Are you building your workplace culture intentionally, or allowing it to form by default? This question lies at the heart of effective leadership, yet few leaders truly understand how their everyday decisions silently shape what it feels like to work in their organizations.Culture isn't the aspirational language hanging on your office walls. It's the unspoken rules that govern how decisions get made, how people treat each other, and how your team functions when no one's watching. As we explore in this episode, we get the behavior we role model, celebrate, and perhaps most critically—the behavior we tolerate. When leaders say they value transparency but withhold information, or claim to support work-life balance while sending midnight emails, they create environments of mistrust where actions and words don't align.Margaret Graziano, bestselling author of "Ignite Culture," brings powerful insights from decades of experience in organizational leadership. Her observation that "people join companies for the mission but stay or leave based on the culture" captures why intentional culture-building matters more than ever in today's competitive landscape. We dig deep into her concept of conscious leadership—creating environments where people feel seen, safe, valued, and empowered—and why this approach transforms both individual performance and organizational outcomes.One particularly transformative distinction we explore is building "accountability without blame." In toxic workplaces, accountability feels like punishment. In thriving cultures, it's an act of respect—a way of saying, "I believe in you, and I know you're capable of this standard." This shift from fear to empowerment fundamentally changes how people show up, speak up, and step up.If your leadership energy became the blueprint for your culture, would you be proud of the result? Would people feel they truly matter? The culture you create is a direct reflection of the clarity, consistency, and courage you bring each day. It requires continuous attention—not a set-and-forget approach, but an ongoing commitment to embodying the values you wish to see throughout your organization.

What if the workplace friction you face daily isn't just “how things are” but something you can change? In this eye-opening conversation, Margaret Graziano—bestselling author of Ignite Culture—shares how most dysfunction at work is created, not inevitable. Drawing from decades of experience and research in neuroscience and organizational development, Margie empowers us to stop pointing fingers and start looking within.Science shows that 75% of employees experience high stress, much of it due to interpersonal conflict. When triggered, our brain's executive function shuts down, leading to poor decisions. Margie introduces a powerful formula—Performance = Potential - Interference—revealing that removing emotional and relational blockers is just as important as building skills or talent.This episode delivers practical tools like the SCULPT method to shift from reaction to response and strategies for team alignment. Whether you're a leader or team member, Margie's insights offer a roadmap to building healthy, high-performing cultures—starting with one powerful question: What role am I playing in the problems I see?

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with a chat about the recent thunderous weather sweeping through town and Kyle's garden, which looks ready to burst into life at any moment. But the calm ends there. Soon, they dive headfirst into a series of bizarre and unsettling encounters—starting with a terrifying goblin-like figure that manifested in a woman's living room, followed by a massive, hair-covered humanoid with glowing white eyes that reportedly crossed a lonely highway near Ft. Irwin, California. And that's just the beginning... After the break, Cam unravels one of the strangest unsolved incidents of World War II—the chilling tale of the Ghost Blimp of 1942. On the morning of August 16th, in the normally uneventful suburb of Daly City, California, something unexplainable pierced the sky. Around 11:30 a.m., a Navy blimp—silent and sagging—drifted low over rooftops, its movements strange and unnatural. Without warning, it descended, brushing against a house on Bellevue Avenue before gliding onward like a lost soul, finally becoming ensnared in a web of power lines. Sparks erupted, electricity danced violently through the air, and the massive airship collapsed in a heap of twisted metal and torn fabric. Engines smashed into the pavement. Propellers bent like soft wire. Gasoline spilled into the streets. Residents ran toward the chaos, drawn by curiosity, fear, or both. Police and fire crews rushed to intervene, pushing back the growing crowd and preparing to rescue the blimp's crew. But there were no men aboard. Not a soul. The gondola was eerily empty. The doors were sealed. The parachutes were untouched. The Ghost Blimp had returned... without its pilots. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

What if the secret to exceptional customer experience isn't found in customer-facing strategies at all, but in how you treat your own team? This powerful question frames our exploration with Lynn Daniel, CEO of The Daniel Group, who has achieved something remarkable in an industry known for turnover: a team that not only stays but thrives."If you're not listening to your people, they'll find the exit, just like customers do." Lynn's wisdom cuts straight to the heart of effective leadership. While companies obsess over customer feedback, they often neglect using those same listening skills with their employees. Lynn's managers are trained listeners who approach team members with genuine curiosity and support. When someone faces personal challenges, even something as serious as cancer, they aren't sidelined—they're supported. This creates the foundation of loyalty that translates directly to customer experience.Lynn's approach to hiring illuminates another crucial insight: "You can't just hire for skills; you have to hire for culture fit." He seeks collaborators who align with the mission and bring positive energy to the team. For Lynn, culture isn't an abstract concept or a poster on a wall; it's the lived experience of how people treat each other daily. This extends to his leadership style, captured in his philosophy: "If I have to manage your time, you shouldn't be working here." This trust-based approach fosters ownership, empowerment, and ultimately, results. When employees feel properly enabled and trusted, they take initiative without being asked.What small change could you make today to build a workplace where people choose to stay because they feel seen, supported, and inspired? When you lead with purpose and empathy, people don't just remember—they stay.

The secret to building customer loyalty might be hiding in plain sight—within your own team. In this fascinating conversation with Lynn Daniel, founder and CEO of The Daniel Group, we uncover the powerful connection between remarkable customer experiences and dedicated employees who stay for decades.Lynn's story begins with a resourceful decision in the early 2000s to create a remote work environment long before it became mainstream. What started as a financial necessity evolved into a strategic advantage, revealing that when people are trusted rather than monitored, they respond with loyalty and exceptional performance. Through authentic stories and practical wisdom, Lynn shares how genuine empathy, cultural alignment, and respectful leadership have created an environment where people genuinely want to stay.The conversation explores several game-changing approaches to leadership, including "episodic coaching" that replaces ineffective annual reviews with immediate, context-rich feedback.

What motivates people to give their best effort without financial incentives? This was the central theme of a compelling conversation with Dan Johnson, a nonprofit coach who has galvanized over 10,000 volunteers. Dan's story begins with a moment of disillusionment during political meetings, where he recognized a lack of genuine problem-solving. Realizing he was "in the wrong room," he made the bold decision to redirect his organization toward meaningful impact, even at the cost of losing most of its funding. Surprisingly, his core team remained, proving that shared purpose can outweigh financial security.Dan attributes this loyalty and growth to what he calls the "volunteer paycheck"—a trio of intrinsic motivators: purpose, ownership, and mastery. Purpose keeps people grounded during tough times, ownership fosters empowerment and initiative, and mastery ensures personal growth and skill development. By moving away from top-down leadership and embracing a model of “radical ownership,” Dan saw his volunteer numbers surge from 60 to over 10,000 in just two years, underscoring the power of mission-driven leadership.These principles extend far beyond the nonprofit world. Whether in corporate settings or community projects, people stay committed when they believe in the mission, feel a sense of agency, and see themselves growing. Dan's insight—that “clarity of purpose attracts the right people and repels the wrong ones”—is a guiding truth for any leader. Authenticity and distributed leadership, it turns out, can drive extraordinary commitment—no paycheck required.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by chatting about the beautiful weather lately in North Central Texas and Cam's recent trip to a local Renaissance fair. Then, they dive straight into a series of bizarre and fascinating encounters. First, they discuss a chilling story of a tiny 8–10 inch tall man seen sitting on a sleeping girl, followed by a sighting of a small cloaked figure that vanished in a flash of light. Then, they explore a terrifying encounter in Spain involving a massive shadow being, standing 3 to 4 meters tall, that pursued a group of men. Next, a large triangular UFO is spotted in southern Indiana, and in Florida, a towering 7-foot-tall cloaked Owlman is seen. The mystery deepens with reports of a possible undiscovered giant owl species living in the forests near Lake Michigan. Finally, a mother and daughter witness a real-life pixie fleeing a heavy rainstorm. All this and more on this edition of Expanded Perspectives.

n this episode, Emmy-winning journalist Bofta Yimam talks about how personal branding and storytelling can help leaders grow.

Whether you're a business owner or a team leader, you'll learn simple ways to show up, speak out, and lead with impact.

Ever wondered if your team's greatest strength could also be its biggest weakness? When expertise becomes tunnel vision, even the most talented teams can miss what matters most.Drawing from my enlightening conversation with Professor Henrik Bresman of INSEAD, co-author of "X-Teams," this episode explores a counterintuitive truth: truly exceptional teams aren't defined by their internal cohesion alone, but by their courage to look outward. While most organizations celebrate alignment and efficient execution, Bresman's research reveals that external focus, deep listening, and genuine co-creation with stakeholders create the real competitive edge.We dive into the "inward trap" that ensnares even the most brilliant teams, keeping them locked in internal debates while customers feel forgotten. You'll discover why presenting fully-baked solutions often backfires, transforming what should be partnerships into mere transactions. Through practical examples and actionable strategies, I'll walk you through the mindset shift from being expertise-driven to connection-focused.The most powerful moment comes when we realize that listening itself is transformative. I share personal experiences where simply creating space for customers to express frustrations—even when those truths were uncomfortable—completely turned around soured relationships. That's because people don't just want solutions; they want to feel heard, valued, and involved in creating their future.Ready to build an X-Team that leads rather than merely executes? This episode offers immediate steps you can take to audit your team's orientation, schedule genuine listening sessions with stakeholders, and move from problem-focused thinking to possibility-centered creation. Your expertise matters, but your ability to connect might matter even more.Subscribe to The Leadership Project for more insights that challenge conventional wisdom and transform how you lead. How might your team's effectiveness change if you spent as much energy looking outward as you do looking inward?Send us a textSupport the show✅ Follow The Leadership Project on your favourite podcast platform and listen to a new episode every week!

Truly innovative teams distinguish themselves not by what happens within their team rooms, but by how actively they engage with the world outside. In a powerful conversation, Professor Henrik Bresman of INSEAD draws from his decades of research and his book X-Teams: How to Build Teams that Lead, Innovate and Succeed to challenge traditional ideas of high-performing teams. He emphasizes that while internal alignment is important, it is no longer enough in today's fast-changing environment. Instead, teams must first reach outward—connecting with knowledge, power, and work structures—before turning inward.Bresman explains that many leaders resist this "external-first" approach because of outdated mental models and a fear of disrupting internal harmony. Ironically, prioritizing short-term comfort by avoiding external feedback undermines long-term success and real team cohesion. The teams that succeed practice key activities like sensemaking, ambassadorship, and task coordination, constantly cycling through phases of exploration, experimentation, and exportation to remain dynamic and relevant.This conversation redefines leadership for an uncertain world, where pretending to have all the answers breeds false security and true innovation comes from admitting what we don't know. Bresman's insights offer practical guidance for leaders at all levels, showing how to build teams that not only adapt to change but actively drive it. Listeners are encouraged to explore more of his work at xleadco and join a growing movement to rethink how teams can lead and innovate in complex environments.
