In this episode, we're talking about something every leader wrestles with — how to hire not just for talent, but for fit. Leaders are often tempted to prioritize skills over alignment, yet the long-term health of an organization depends on hiring people who embody its mission, vision, and values. Join us in this episode of Encouragement for Work as Mark is joined by Vaughn Thurman, CEO of HighGear Software, a leader who has built his company around a set of core values that have come to define the organization and everything it does. Vaughn's journey reminds us that hiring decisions do more than impact the bottom line — they shape culture, influence engagement, and define how work is experienced every day. About Our Guest: Vaughn Thurman Vaughn Thurman is a technology leader and entrepreneur passionate about building organizations where people thrive, and mission drives performance. As CEO of HighGear Software, Vaughn leads a team dedicated to helping organizations simplify complexity and work with greater purpose and clarity. Throughout his career, Vaughn has emphasized values-based leadership, particularly the importance of hiring and developing people who align with an organization's mission, vision, and values. His experience building and scaling teams and shaping cultures has reinforced a critical truth: mission-aligned hiring is essential to long-term success and healthy workplaces. Vaughn brings practical insight to conversations at the intersection of leadership, culture, and performance, encouraging leaders to remain faithful to their mission while building strong, empowered teams. Vaughn's leadership journey includes the unique experience of building two radically different companies, teams, and cultures under one roof and of observing and learning from the unexpected operational, financial, and relational impacts of having one team built on principles while the other was built on a top-candidate opportunistic hiring strategy. But most importantly, Vaughn is a follower of Christ and is not ashamed to share the message. Hiring Against Your MVV — Why It Costs You More Than You Think Hiring individuals who do not align with your mission, vision, and values can quietly erode culture, weaken engagement, and undermine long-term performance. Vaughn shares lessons from building HighGear — from early hiring decisions to scaling a values-driven organization — and how staying true to core values shaped the company's identity and success. You will learn: Hiring for culture and values isn't a “nice to have” — it's a strategic and sustainable business decision. Leadership Lessons from a Mission-Driven CEO Vaughn's path — from the Air Force to serial entrepreneur to CEO — offers valuable insight into leading with integrity and purpose. He discusses how core values such as honesty, discipline, and commitment to service influence decision-making, recruitment, and team development, especially when leaders face pressure to compromise. You will learn: Leading people well requires intentional value alignment, beginning with how and why you hire. Building High-Performing Teams by Empowering People Vaughn's work with no-code workflow tools reflects a deeper leadership principle: equip people to do meaningful work. He explores how this mindset shapes recruitment, training, and culture-building — moving organizations beyond transactional hiring toward transformational development. You will learn: Work becomes a place of growth when people are seen as contributors to purpose, not cogs in a machine. Concerned about your organization's as-is HR programs?

Marccus Hendricks, associate professor at the University of Maryland and director of the Stormwater Infrastructure Resilience and Justice Lab, joins People Behind the Plans for a wide-ranging conversation on disaster resilience, environmental justice, and the current challenges facing the planning profession. Drawing on his upbringing in Dallas, his scholarship on flood risk and infrastructure inequity, and his experience as a senior adviser for Climate and Community Resilience in the Biden administration, Hendricks explores the roots of social vulnerability and the role planning plays in shaping health, safety, and opportunity. He also shares a path to planning via public health and emergency medicine, and namechecks some of his planning heroes, like Shannon Van Zandt, Walt Peacock, Lori Peek, Dennis Mileti, Norma and Bill Anderson, John T. Cooper Jr., and Philip Berke. “My mentors were studying the aftermath of disasters and I wanted to get after the root causes of how we got here. Individuals and groups who live at the social and economic margins of our society are the least likely to be able to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from environmental hazards. “ — Marccus Hendricks Hendricks shares how cuts to federal planning programs and research funding are affecting planners, students, and academic institutions, and why retreating from hard truths poses a risk to the future of the field. And he offers candid advice to students and local planners navigating uncertainty, emphasizing the enduring power of community-centered work and action at the local level.

In this unplanned bonus episode, Alyssa and Nadia wrap up 2025 on a lighter note after their emotional conversation about gun violence the previous week. The discussion centers on reflection, transition, and what it means to stay authentic as life changes rapidly.Alyssa kicks off the conversation with a viral social media trend she's been seeing: 2025 is the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac (the 9th cycle), which represents shedding things that no longer serve you, followed by 2026 being the Year of the Horse (cycle 1)—a fresh start. While Nadia hasn't encountered this trend, she shares that her astrology app Co-Star gave her 2026 resolutions focused on authenticity and surrounding herself with people who genuinely support her growth rather than just depending on her.The conversation shifts to what they're keeping versus shedding as they enter 2026. Nadia reveals she's signed up to take the MCAT in July and will be studying throughout the spring semester while working. She reflects on discovering that she's most productive and in control when she's busy with multiple responsibilities. Rather than actively shedding things, she anticipates natural changes as most of her friends graduate in May while she finishes in December.A poignant moment comes when they discuss the concept of "home." Nadia shares that while the Bay Area will always be her true home, Boston has become home in a different way—it's where 80% of her year is spent, where her routines are, and where she's chosen to take the MCAT because it feels most comfortable. She admits recent trips home have felt different, knowing her relationship with home might shift as she approaches graduation.The episode concludes with reflections on the podcast itself, now 2.5 years old. They discuss how they've moved away from guest interviews this year, finding it easier and more comfortable to have direct conversations. Alyssa proposes themes for 2026: either interviewing Nadia's graduating friends about transitioning to post-college life, or bringing in physicians from different specialties as Nadia prepares for medical school. They leave it open-ended, inviting listeners to share their preferences.TakeawaysYear of the Snake (2025) symbolizes shedding the inauthentic; Year of the Horse (2026) represents new beginnings and fresh startsStaying true to yourself means not getting caught up in comparing your timeline to everyone else's pathBeing busy with meaningful responsibilities can actually create a sense of productivity and control, not just stress"Home" can exist in multiple places—your roots and your current base can both feel like home in different waysNatural life transitions (friends graduating, moving away) often create the "shedding" without forced actionThe concept of home evolves as you spend more time away—80% of the year elsewhere shifts what feels like your home baseTaking major tests (like the MCAT) in your routine environment can reduce stress and improve performanceAuthentic podcasting means following what feels natural rather than forcing a specific formatChapters0:10–0:32 – Introduction: Ending 2025 on a Happier Note0:32–1:46 – The Year of the Snake: Shedding & New Beginnings1:46–3:37 – Co-Star Resolutions: Building Authentic Connections3:37–5:27 – What to Shed in 2026: Staying True to Your Own Path5:27–6:16 – Big News: Nadia Signs Up for the MCAT6:16–7:37 – What to Keep: The Power of Productive Busyness7:37–8:49 – Friends Going Different Directions & Coming Home8:49–11:01 – Where is Home?

In this episode, my amazing Soul Psychology Coach, Devon Evans and I explore the transformative power of slowing down during the holiday season in order to “Redesign Your Holiday Experience”. The holidays have a way of amplifying everything — expectations, old patterns, and unmet needs. In this deeply grounding conversation, Suzi and Devon explore how Soul Care practices can transform holiday experiences from overwhelming to sacred, from reactive to nourishing.Rather than pushing through and overcommitting, this episode invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and create conditions that support your Inner Peace and Calm — no matter what's happening around you.This is a gentle reminder that thriving during the holidays isn't about doing more… it's about being more present with yourself.✨ Soul Care & the Holidays Devon shares the essence of Soul Care teachings and how they help create spaciousness, relaxation, and authenticity during the holiday season — even when family dynamics feel charged.✨ Sacred Listening & Micro-Moments of Peace Learn how Sacred Listening allows you to stay compassionate and present without falling into fixing, managing, or absorbing others' emotions. Devon reflects on Thanksgiving experiences that revealed the power of simply witnessing and listening family members around her.✨ Letting Go of Over-Responsibility Suzi and Devon open up about their shared histories of people-pleasing and over-functioning in family and social settings — and how practicing self-compassion has changed the way they show up.✨ From Control to Inner Safety The conversation highlights how holidays can magnify old survival patterns, and why internal work — not external control — is the path to true calm and fulfillment.✨ Community, Healing & Authenticity Devon reflects on the transformative power of being witnessed in community, and how the Soul Care Community supports deep growth, honesty, and emotional freedom.✨ Staying True to Yourself From honoring health choices to setting clear intentions, this episode explores how authenticity is one of the most loving forms of holiday self-care.What shifts inside you when you give yourself permission to pause… to listen instead of fix… to choose presence over people pleasing?This episode is a sacred opportunity to care for yourself — especially during a season that often asks us to give more than we have.Deepen Your Holiday Healing

On Purpose with Jay Shetty Key Takeaways Engineering Thinking FrameworkEmbrace failure as discovery, foster insatiable curiosity, and iterate relentlessly The core principle: break things, test repeatedly, and view each failure as eliminating one wrong approachIf you can dream it, you can build it through iterative experimentation.Naive Optimism + Strategic ExecutionTurn ideas into action by combining an optimistic vision with a practical breakdown: define your end goal, decompose it into simple steps, identify knowledge gaps, and test incrementallyTransform fear into curiosity through hands-on building and reflection on lessons learned, rather than ego protection The Immersion Weekend Method: Dedicate 48 hours of complete immersion to explore new fascinations – consume every book, video, and resource available. This intensive sprint reveals whether something deserves permanent schedule integration and helps you fall in love with the process of incremental masteryDual-Track Success ModelAvoid binary thinking: maintain steady employment while pursuing passion projects during nights and weekends until they gain tractionThe most successful ventures pair a 10x visionary thinker with a logistics master (Jobs + Napoleon model), preventing burnout by keeping founders focused on their core love rather than pure managementContent that resonates triggers five core emotions: Adventure, humor, negativity, inspiration, or surprise More broadly: control only what's in your sphere of influence, commit to “hell yes” decisions exclusively, and recognize that outcomes revert to the mean Things are never as extreme as they appear in the moment.Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhat idea have you been sitting on lately?

Some truths arrive as whispers. Some arrive as wounds that teach. Some arrive as a reminder: you were never meant to fit… You were meant to be.In this intimate Q&A episode, I answer your questions on misunderstanding, boundaries, and creative resilience — pulling from the decades I've spent writing my way into my values, my voice, + mySELF.We explore how being misunderstood can become a kind of spiritual armor — not the hard kind, but the sacred kind that forms when you stand rooted in who you are, even when others can't comprehend you yet.I share stories from my 20s + 30s, the seasons where I had to choose between belonging to others or belonging to myself. Journaling became my sanctuary, my mirror, my extraction process — the place I met the real Roxanne.We go into boundary-setting with the people you love, why resentment is a poison, what it means to make a “true move,” + how to keep showing up for passions that feel heavy but holy.This episode is a love note to your inner compass — the one that always knows.TAKE THIS WITH YOU:Understanding your values is the foundation of every boundary you'll ever need.Being misunderstood often signals depth, integrity, + evolution.Boundaries are uncomfortable AND necessary — love doesn't cancel self-respect.When passion feels hard, alignment becomes your stamina.Journaling clears the fog so you can hear yourSELF again.⭐️YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS: Please: Subscribe + leave 5⭐️Star rating +review HEREEnjoy! xRxFIND ME ON:️INSTAGRAMSUBSTACKYOUTUBEXTHREADSFREE RESOURCES:

Today I'm speaking with artist Lakwena Maciver, whose glorious work has wrapped electrical substations, transformed the Bowery Wall, brought hope into a juvenile detention centre in Arkansas, transformed Tate Modern and handbags for Dior, all carrying poignant messages of care. All of this stemmed from a child drawing her own name to anchor a shifting sense of identity. Those early gestures became a life's work centred on hope, connection and the courage to speak into public space without dilution. We talk about the culture shock that shaped her, the spiritual turning point that unlocked her practice, and the Miami wall that changed her trajectory. We also explore how she navigates large-scale public commissions, studio freedom, working with commercial galleries, licensing and her thinking behind her own online shop and merch. If you've ever felt torn between ambition and intuition, visibility and vulnerability, or the expectation to deliver versus the instinct to stay true to your vision, this one's for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace your unique journey. Use what you have, stay true to your path and don´t worry about what others are doing or have. Art in public spaces can have a transformative impact - fostering hope, connection, and a sense of belonging, often deeply impacting unseen or marginalized communities. Balancing ambition versus intuition, visibility versus vulnerability, and expectation versus authenticity is ongoing for any creative person. Moving beyond “solo” creation into collaborative and community-focused work renews your creative energy and deepens your impact. BEST MOMENTS “I think I started making work from a place of displacement. So, I started drawing and making artwork as a way of trying to empower myself and speak hope to myself.” “What we protect ourselves from is often exactly where the breakthrough waits - letting something in is sometimes the bravest part of creative life.” “Try and stay in your lane. Use what you have in your hand. Don't worry about what you haven't got and what other people have.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.lakwena.com https://www.instagram.com/lakwena You can sign up for Lakwena´s newsletter at the bottom of this page - https://shop.lakwena.com PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

"82% of all Americans are now saying they expect the brands they buy from to share their values." Staying true to your values isn't just the right thing to do, it's one of the smartest ways to grow a business. Today's episode breaks down why conviction creates clarity, why clarity creates trust, and why trust is the new currency in a marketplace flooded with noise, doubt, and deception. Kurt Luidhardt shares how his work with political campaigns led him to uncover something much bigger: millions of consumers actively looking to spend their money with brands that reflect their beliefs. Kurt explains why this shift matters for entrepreneurs, how conviction-driven marketing works, and why businesses that communicate their principles authentically attract more loyal, resilient customers. He also unpacks the modern crisis of trust and shows how shared values help people make faster, more confident buying decisions. Kurt is the co-founder of a nationally recognized digital strategy firm and the creator of the Liberty Spenders framework. With decades of experience helping high-profile leaders and brands grow through principled messaging, Kurt now empowers business owners to align their marketing with their deepest convictions—and win because of it. Expert action steps: Remove the idols that distort your judgment—anything you place above God or your highest principles. Build a business around solving a real, concrete problem that people urgently want fixed. Protect your family and never let business consume the relationships that matter most.

Vivian sat down with Sophia Bush live at Tech Futures to dive deep into the money side of Hollywood stardom. Sophia breaks down what actors actually make from iconic TV shows (spoiler: those One Tree Hill paychecks weren't what you think), how residuals really work in the streaming era, and why that show you've binged 47 times barely pays the actors anymore. Sophia gets real about navigating Hollywood's pay gap, from her early days saying yes to everything to learning how to negotiate like a boss in an industry that doesn't want women asking for more. Plus, she reveals how she's built serious wealth beyond acting through podcasting, directing, producing, and becoming a GP at a VC fund, explaining why diversifying her income was the smartest financial move she ever made. She answers the big questions about balancing activism with getting paid, preparing for Hollywood's feast-or-famine cycles, what retirement looks like when you're an actor, and how coming out changed the way she thinks about money and relationships.

This week, Jason is joined by content creator, entrepreneur, and one of the most authentic and impactful voices in fashion, Remi Bader! From her viral realistic hauls that changed how millions think about clothing to launching her own size inclusive fashion line Edited by Remi Bader at Sam's Club, she has proven the power of authenticity and advocacy. Her collection was so successful, it expanded from a hundred stores to 200 and has continued that mission by building her own brand Fangirl. Remy has redefined what it means to merge influence with impact, showing how social media power can spark lasting change in the fashion industry. Remi Bader dives into the unconventional path that led her from PR and marketing to becoming one of the most recognizable names in fashion and content creation. She opens up about getting fired early in her career, why she initially thought fashion wasn't her space, and how creating videos during one of her lowest points unexpectedly launched her online success. Remi shares the full-circle moment of landing on Forbes 30 Under 30, how she spent all her early income on Uber and food delivery, and her resistance to being labeled an influencer. She details how UTA convinced her to go full-time into content creation, her days working as a fit model, and the whirlwind of balancing viral fame with mental health. Remi reflects on building her career completely on her own, the importance of never burning bridges, and how LinkedIn played a surprising role in her growth. She also gets candid about her collaboration with her dad (and why she'll never do business with family again), staying true to her values regardless of body size, prioritizing health, setting boundaries, and the story behind her brand, Fangirl. Remi reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!
