Antioxidants Post Workout - inhibit muscle growth? [16:29] Shannon says: Hi Guys! A little background... I'm a 56 yr old woman, super lean and fit, whole foods keto (or LCHF - not always full keto), and do bodybuilding type weight lifting 6x/wk. I'm focused on continuing to build more muscle (especially in the booty), and also wanting to be more strict Keto because I love the mental clarity and "go-getter" optimism I have when in ketosis. My schedule... - I normally start my fast around 7pm - Have my plant based pre-workout around 11am, which has 4 carbs (does this count as breaking my fast? I'm not thinking so) - Lift at 11 or 12 - Post workout shake around noon or 1 Anyway, here's my question... I LOVE my daily chocolate Superfood shake, and it's my main carb source other than veggies and my pre-workout, with 11 net carbs. For quite awhile, I've used it as my post-workout meal, figuring it's a good choice with a combo of 17 carbs (11 net carbs) and 17g whey protein, and I often add 1/2 scoop of another protein powder to bump the protein up a bit. But I've read a few times now that antioxidants are not good post workout because they can inhibit muscle growth. Is this true? And if so, do you know the threshold as to what is too much? Would you mind taking a look at this label (https://tinyurl.com/u8njhswa) and tell me if you think this would be good for a post workout shake or not due to the amount of antioxidants, vitamins, phytonutrients, and other good stuff? I do not want to inhibit any muscle gain. And if this is not good for post workout, do you think just whey protein is okay without added carbs for post lifting? I'm almost at my carb limit between these two supplements that I want to keep, and really do not want to stop either. Thank you so much! Shannon   2. Hyponatremia & Hypothyroidism [25:20] Michele says: Nicki & Robb, After listening to you talk last week about hyponatremia, I was curious if it is related to hypothyroidism and about how electrolytes might also come into play with hypothyroidism. What does it mean when you say we "shed potassium?" When I look at conventional and functional treatments for hypothyroid, they include things like (t4) Levothyroxine SODIUM and (t3) Liothyronine SODIUM or natural combinations of those. Are they related to electrolyte sodium? What went into figuring out the combination of the magnesium, potassium and sodium that's in LMNT? Is that too many questions? Maybe you can pick whatever moves you and answer the rest somewhere in the Rebellion. Speaking of which-- I recently joined the Healthy Rebellion and look forward to participating in the next carb test and rebel reset. I missed this last time it started. I encourage everyone who has been listening to your podcasts for awhile to join the Healthy Rebellion too. It is a gi-normous wealth of information and community to invest in and empower your Self about health. I was worried that it would feel like Facebag, which I have been off of since 2008, but I. love. it. The connectedness and support I've experienced has been warm, welcoming and kind. Michele   3. Terbinafine and Dysbiosis? [31:24] Jakki says: Hi Robb and Nikki, Been listening since there were only 5, glad we weren't wrong. I really enjoy THR format.  Several shows ago Nicki mentioned she took Terbinafine to get rid of a pesky toe fungus so she could more confidently show off her tooties in bjj. Her success story inspired me to try it. I have had this nasty toe fungus since high school (swim team locker room, soccer cleats in rain etc.) and now I am 5 yrs in to training bjj, pretty much the entire time have dreaded ankle lock days when my feet are so exposed. I was rx'd terbinafine by my podiatrist in January. The first thing I noticed was that the painful, red, burning, "mask rash" (I am forced to wear one at work) that I had been suffering from around my nostrils for several months cleared up right away. Additionally, my digestion improved, I lost 5 lbs, and was sleeping great. Down side was, I was craving carbs and sugar like a lunatic. I literally felt like a powerless robot, controlled by some creature in my brain forcing me to walk to the kitchen and eat all the treats--I could not stop myself! All the while-losing weight and generally feeling great... Cut to, I finished the round of treatment a little over a week ago. I immediately gained back the 5lbs, my DOMS has been UNREAL (I am only able to lift 1-2x/wk because I am so sore), I look 6 mos pregnant from the bloat by evenings, and I could nap 3-3:30pm everyday. But- the sugar cravings are completely gone. Are these things related? Did this medication have an effect on my over all biome or cause a die off or something? When I am not on the medication, I am paleo plus dairy, rice and potatoes and one cup of coffee a day. I aim for 100g protein at least. Sweeteners like honey and at the most a little dark chocolate. (But while on this drug I was paleo + ALL the SAD treats that I felt like having.) I am 35 yo mom to a 4 yr old, 5'6", currently 139 lbs. Hike or run outside 2-3x/wk, bjj 3x/wk, ride the peloton 2x/wk, weight lift 1-2x/wk. I really appreciate the work you both do, and I AM HERE FOR THE SOCIOPOLITICAL COMMENTARY too, keep it up, we need your voice. You have even inspired me to call my congressmen and senators in the past, some have even responded. Viva THR!   4. Low-Carb Sleep Eating [39:18] Josh says: This is a follow question to Paul's question that was on a previous podcast, it's around sleep eating. I too suffer from this. What he is referring to is: when I am doing low carb, I have a desire/drive/ urge that wakes me up and I have to eat something. Ie..taking me out of a deep sleep.. 1-3 hours into the sleep. It is usually carbs and after I do that I can comfortably go back to sleep. I hate the insulin spike at night and it I know it's not helping my circadian rhythm. What do you think is causing this and what is a fix? Thanks Josh   5. Inflammatory Papillitis [44:37] Kelsey says: Hey Robb and Nicki, My situation is a little bit sticky, My husband is the rhymer, I figured I'd give it a go Hoping my question gets on your show... Last fall I had inflammatory papillitis in my right eye I'm asking for recommendations cuz western medicine ain't so fly. I'm a mama of one, to add to my story, our little girl is 14 months and takes all the glory. Finishing nursing, getting caught up on sleep, She rules the house, with more than a peep. We eat a paleo diet, but consider it a lifestyle, We might join you in Montana and live in exile. I'll wrap this up soon, my rhyming is sad What prevention or tips do you have, I'd be so glad. Referring to my optic nerve It took us on a mighty curve Shout out to LMNT, it's really rad Only problem is when it's gone I'm real sad.

Business coach, podcast host, speaker, digital media and creative consultant, and entrepreneur. Josh Cary spent 40 years in hiding! That’s right. He was hiding every aspect of himself and showing up with a ‘mask’ on in all areas of life trying to gain the approval of everyone else. At 19, he changed his name and entered into, what would become, a 15-year career as a professional actor and filmmaker. The applause and external accolades didn’t completely heal his feelings of anxiety and insecurities and he found himself more isolated than ever. Today, Josh is the co-founder of PodMAX (an On Air Brands company), a podcast production and media company that provides training and events catered to entrepreneurs who have a meaningful message to share. Josh is also an accomplished podcast host of two shows with over 200 combined episodes and he’s a business coach to entrepreneurs who are ready, willing, and able to say “F That NOISE!” Today, Josh Cary is a podcast host and business coach to entrepreneurs who are ready, willing, and able to say “F That NOISE!” “F That NOISE” in their head that’s been acting as the comfortable excuse for remaining where they are. As a digital media and creative consultant, Josh has the uncanny ability to bring the human side out of each person. Whether it’s as a guest on his show or working directly together, you quickly feel consumed by his unique natural energy, bright outlook and creative mind.

The podcast has been downloaded in dozens of countries. Josh can discuss: F That Noise! The 5-step process to unmasking yourself and no longer fearing YOU. It’s much more than just an exclamation. It became the 5-part detailed process (N.O.I.S.E.) for allowing himself to accept the fear and finally adjust the score (Fear: Zero. You: Won.) Get Ready, Willing, and Able: In order to make any move in life, you must be ready, willing and able to do so.  We typically know what we want, but then subconsciously prevent our achievement by allowing one of these three modes to get in the way.  Josh unravels each part in such a way that allows you to be victorious. Accept the Awkward. Finding the comfortability within the awkward. We are all awkward in our unique and brilliant ways. This is what makes us human. Too often, we will choose to shy away from that feeling and instead alter it to give in to our fear. Finding Your Voice. Deep down, you already know what you want to be doing. You don’t need permission. You need action. No matter your age, life is almost over.

Cash Flow Forecasting With Louise Delaney Josh: G’day everyone out there in podcast land. There is a gap in many businesses ad that's cash flow forecasting. It's too expensive not to have good cash flow. So I've got a special guest here, I've got Louise from Cash Flows For You. And she's going to talk to us about how you can better your cash flow and make sure you keep good records of that and make sure you know where you're going, especially at a time like now. So, Louise, tell me about your pain story and how you learnt those need in the industry to start cash flows for you. Learn more about cash flow at dorksdelivered.com.au Louise: Oh, hi, Josh. Thanks very much. Good question to start off. So actually, the pain that I felt was personal running my first business, which was a law firm, and I'm not a lawyer, I'm a business owner, and my business partner was a lawyer. And there was a massive disconnect between the work coming in and delivery and when we were going to get paid, and then the bills and how I was going to pay wages and practice subscriptions and all these things. And so the stress was real, and I wasn't sleeping and I went to bookkeepers and accountants, you know, who are very focused on the backwards view and doing the right thing with the general ledger. And I couldn't get the forward view that I needed, or the control of my cash that I needed. So I did some research and started it myself. And I swear by the 13 week rolling cash flow, which was originally a Keith Cunningham design, and is now a hybrid Louise Delaney design. Josh: I know myself, you see people and you hear all these different ways that people try to combat cash flow. And even in a home sense, you got, okay, let's have one bank account for holidays, another bank account for personal fun stuff, and you might spend 50 bucks a week on yourself and then spend $100 a week on your holiday or whatever the breakdown happens to be, then all of a sudden, you get this crazy bill and you ah man wasn't expecting the car engine to blow up, the insurance to come through the whatever that happens to be. And I guess having good cash flow practice and good cash flow hygiene is all about understanding where that's going and where you're actually sitting. So you're normalising your understanding of how much money is actually coming in and going out. Would that be fair to say? Louise: Yeah, definitely. And it look at the measuring business that most of us don't have when we start a business. You know, we measure our marketing, we measure our sales, but we never measure our cash. It's like anything. If you've got visibility of it, you know, you can stop stressing about it. It’s not running around in your head, you're not guessing. So when those unexpected bills come in, you're like, ah, didn't really plan for that. But that's okay. Because I know what my cash is doing. And I know how to manage that. Josh: Yeah. And when you have that data, you can then make decisions, you can make decisions without the data. And I see just from an IT perspective when we go into businesses, the amount of waste that people have. They'll be spending something because they've been spending something and there'll be things with it, they might be on a phone plan for their business where they're spending $1200 or $1500 dollars a month, we went in, and at this stage, we hadn't started doing this as many, many years ago, I saw the bill sitting there on the table and because I'm your eyes wander, don't they? And then I had a bit of a look. And I said is that what you're paying? And they said, Yeah. I said, oh my goodness. Why? I’m like what is it doing? It has this working and I had a look and I said I said I'm sure we could do it better price for you than that. And I looked through and $200 a month is what it got down. And I guess always doing something the same way doesn't mean that it's always the right way to be doing that. And always just paying the bills as they come in, you have this haphazard approach, you're always trying to think, okay, on my net terms, right with the clients that I'm working with, or some bigger firms, like you'll have like three months before you get paid off, you do your work. Louise: Yeah. And if you can see it, you can alter it. So if you've got low sales, you'd have a look down and go, where can I save some money here? And that makes you focus on those bills that you've always paid at the same rate and never question. So it definitely gives you eyes on the numbers without thinking about it from a spreadsheet point of view. It's more of a personal connection with how am I going to pay these bills? And where can I save some money just so you can get to keep more cash. So it definitely holds you accountable for where you're spending your money. It also highlights if you need to increase your sales to keep paying a $400 Telstra bill or is there a better way to do it. So it helps you to push towards making decisions, to get smarter with your cash. Josh: As I said, in times like now, businesses, I'd say some are in a holding pattern, some are nosediving, some are skyrocketing, some, they're all over the place. It doesn't really matter what part you're in, if you're going up, down, left, left or right. If you don't have good cash flow, if you don't know where your numbers are, you don't know where your expenses are going, you can very quickly go backwards. That's something I've noticed with business owners that are bringing in $400,000, $450,000 profit to themselves a year. So they've got businesses with 40 to 60 employees, and they're bringing in a reasonable amount of money. But they're also spending a reasonable amount of money. I kind of put the analogy, like you've got your hands and you can't see this on the podcast you put your hands out. And if you grab it like it's raining money, some people hold them ready to hold that money, just in case there is a drought coming, other people hold them and the money just flows through their hands. And then when that drought comes in, they starved. Louise: Yeah, you asked at the start was this and what was my pain, the other pain point was my business coach, and my accountant was saying, oh, look at this profit, look at this profit. And I was like, have you seen my bank account? Like, where is this profit, we can't spend profit, you know, it's a cash that's going to be, once you've got that foundation that's going to allow you to get to profit, if it's slipping through your fingers, as you just said, then you're on that rodent wheel, and you're never going to get past it to actually make clear profit. And so your foundations of your business grow. So you can make those decisions, and look, you know, whether you're going up in your business, or just trying to stay alive, you know, getting some control over even if it's a tiny little bit of money coming in. In fact, that's even better. That's what happened with COVID, people stopped, you know, a lot of people didn't earn as much or didn't get as much cash coming into their business, but they also dropped all their expenses. So you know, it's managing what's coming in, and what's going out, and making sure you're setting clear goals for that money that you're going to keep in the business. Because if you haven't got a buffer, you know, or a goal, you know, like it might be to start a craft beer brewing company [hypothetically], just saying, maybe, want to have you know that on your goal is so you know why you're trying to retain cash in your business for the foundation for the next growth period. Or even if it's to get out of your business, to be able to present somebody with solid cash flow forecasting, then it's a great exit strategy as well. Josh: I can resonate well with the craft brew story there for some reason. I know when I started out in business, what I did is I had about $1,000. I’m like okay, let's see what happens. I have $1,000 and at this stage, it was the side hustle working for Education Queensland. And so let's see what happens, where does this go. Put $1,000 in and pulled out $1500 and I said okay, cool, cool, cool. I'll take my $1000 back, use that $500 and make that $1000 and then that $1000 turn to $2000. Then before I knew it, I was working with Education Queensland and bringing in $4,000 a month doing this side hustle, as it's known, this side hustle. And then then it started just creeping up from there and up from there and I went okay, this is becoming pretty real. I thought what would it take for me to jump and this is what a lot of people, if they want to keep their security net of their own job, what would I need to jump? And some people go I just need 12 weeks and all we had to set up a million dollar business. You know, good luck. Don't do that. Get to a couple of conferences and talks to some business owners and some mature business owners first, but I had the business running as a side gig for three years and I'd saved up enough for all of the expenses for six months, even though the business was sitting on a recurring basis bringing in money. So I had a positive reoccurring income and then I still had six months of expenses, just in case all of that disappeared, and that was my safety net. Louise: Well, why did you have that insight so early in business? Josh: That's a good question. I don't know. I started my first business, wasn't the IT business, I started another business which is all around it's really boring, but making numberplate brackets, which was just a lighting loom and fixtures on number plates. And when I made those, the process wasn't very automated, ended up automating the process and seeing that I needed to have some money kept aside to be able to buy parts and whatnot. So I guess there's an element of that where I had all the responsibility for myself there. But I read every book that I could get from the government on GST and starting a business beforehand. So I did it the cheapest way possible in reading the literature that I could get for free. And then I just sort of had a look and thought, what would it take for me to make the decision? If it wasn't going wee? If something went belly up, how long would it take for me to get another job? Where is my risk level? And would I be comfortable in losing a certain amount of money? I’m like okay, at that stage was 60 grand. I went if I lost 60 grand, how annoyed would I be? And my whole thought was, I've learnt the whole way along the journey. Although I would lose that money technically, it was money that I've only earned through the process and setting it all up. As anyone knows it's been in business for a while, that's a seasoned business owner, the passion you get in for business is a lot of times sideline from the other things that you need to be doing in business to keep the business running. And I'd learned all these other different things. So, okay, well, I've still learned a lot. And if I had to go to university to learn that, I probably would have spent the same amount of money. So that was kind of like the sort of thought process that I went through and I thought in case something goes really wrong, I could still go get another job. But if I couldn't get a job for six months, because there's a global pandemic or something, something really terrible… Louise: You thought that I'm sure. Josh: No, that wasn't, that wasn't on my radar at all. Louise: You’re still very strategic, you know that, I mean, that's a strategic approach to business and managing your risk. So that's pretty impressive. A lot of us business owners, when we go into business, we might do the number crunching to get started. But then we stopped looking at it going forward. And you know, and in fact we’re fearful of looking at it, or we think that this is as good as it gets. So with that strategy that you used to start the business, it would be brilliant if every business owner could take a few weeks off, maybe go to Thailand or Bali every year, or maybe just Queensland, and do that same strategy planning again, and base it around your foundations for building your business, in particular for this conversation, your cash, you know, what's my break even. Like, when COVID hit the first thing that my clients did was look at their numbers and go right to how long can we last? When do we have to start laying off people? You know, when do we drop out office space or ask for a reduction on our rent? You know, this was all before the government stepped in with Jobkeeper and things like that. But having that business plan and strategy, continually, as a business owner for working on business skills, on business tasks, it’s going to be, you know, the best roadmap through business, rather than just hoping to God it's all going to work okay, because then when COVID hits and you go or anything, you know, your key employee leaves, the price of something goes up, you know, you can look at your numbers and go, all right, well, that's only going to affect me for this time, I need to pedal harder and get more sales, and make sure that I maintain, you know, the momentum in my business, or even when to drop staff so that you can go back to just being you running the business, you know, because they were decisions we all had to look at when COVID hit. Josh: Over the years, even though I've done some planning, I over planned probably of anything, more planning the execution. But if anything, what I've noticed over the years is every business has these problems. And I had a vertical that I was working with, that was working really, really well. And we thought this is fantastic. They were growing very, very quickly. And so we went and invested a whole bunch of money in new infrastructure and data centers in Melbourne and Brisbane. And then a month after doing that, having $80,000 worth of cash that just outlaid towards this infrastructure that was going to allow us to sort of 10 times our business growth, the whole thing came tumbling down. And I was like, oh, that nearly killed us. And then I've had the key employee disappear as well, definitely this silver lining now, but at the time, the breakup of business partners and things like that, which doesn't help, shit happens as it would be, it’s good to be prepared as best you can. But having that rainy day like for me, my risk threshold was six months. But what I learned was interest compounds interest, other people are going to smile or frown depending on what position or business they're in. But when you've got $60,000 sitting in your bank, and you're running a positive business, every day that that still happens, you've still got more money coming about, admitedly not much at the moment with the RBA rates, but it's something. Louise: Yeah. But it's also emotional interest. You know, like, if you've got 100 bucks in your wallet, or 20 bucks or 500 bucks, you certainly feel a lot wealthier than if you've just got a card. [Absolutely.] I find when you start doing your cash planning is like saving in the piggy bank, once you start seeing, you know, your cash balance going up, you know, and I do mine on a spreadsheet or a dashboard. Once you start seeing that cash line go up, you get more efficient at how you use your cash, because you know it's not yours. It's the business and it's whether you want to stay in business for a long time or a short time or hit a peak. You get a bit greedy with your cash. But when you make decisions, you make them without the emotion attached to it. It's the numbers that are really blindingly obvious that are pushing you towards that decision. Josh: Everyone has that feeling of dopamine release when they go oh I just bought something cool. But when you buy something on the credit card you have that and when you buy that out of your own cash, you have the same feeling. But a week later, or 55 days later, after the interest free period, you think, oh crap, then then you dive down. And once you become cashflow positive, there's a stress that’s lifted off your shoulders. Louise: Totally, like I don't even run my law firm now with a credit card, you know, and it took me about five years, I always had probably 10 grand on that credit card. And not in the interest, I still paid it off bits and pieces, but I would have paid interest to the bank for having that. And that was, I didn't even need it, I used it because I was scared to use the cash in my business in case I didn't plan for bill properly, or there was, you know, extra taxes that you hadn't planned for. So now I run that without a credit card. And I do have a credit card in my personal life but same principle. As soon as I use it. It's awesome to go and do the transfer to pay it off again. [Yep] you know. And it hasn't always been that way. I've been burned for sure using a credit card. But it's also nice when one of the benefits of cash flow planning is if you've got a 12-month subscription for something, you can pay it monthly or weekly or six monthly. And it's better for cash flow to do that. But psychologically, it's amazing to be able to go, I've got enough cash just to pay for that. And I'll take the 10% or 15% discount, you're going to give me for that. Josh: I completely agree. All these discounts are out there ready to go and get them and on the credit card on interest. So I have a credit card and I pay it out each month. I'm like, woo hoo, I had a look, it was early this morning that my credit card issued. And it sounds like I'm making this up. But it's legit the truth. I had a look. And it was $18,000 on the credit card. I thought okay, that's, that's alright, because most of the business expenses go through it, and then just get paid off at the end of the month. And it said, if you make the minimum payments, this will take 98 years to pay off and there'll be $780,000 worth of interest. I was like, what the hell? I was like, why? My goodness, and that is straight up interest, compound interest. I’m only using the credit card now for purely stupid rewards points. Louise: Now, I need to talk to you about that. This rewards plan, I have another client that is very difficult to do cash flow forecasting for because everything goes on the credit card. But she did it too, because of the Qantas points and all the rest of it. Well, I say maybe that should be revisited now. Just change the payment cycle. You'd almost say, well, you don't pay interest anyway. But a lot of people do, the money that you would save in interest just to get the points, you could just you know, you could probably buy Virgin at the moment, I believe. Josh: That's right. Oh, definitely, if you aren't paying your credit card debt, get rid of the credit card as soon as you can. I don't know why, I'm still feeling stupid having it. It's annoying actually, because it's one extra thing, it doesn't sound like much one extra line to reconcile for the bookkeeper. One extra thing to keep in your wallet, it’s just one extra thing to get hacked. It's just one extra thing. It's just annoying. You might know more so than me, international fees. When you have these international fees, and you buy something overseas. So I've actually got two credit cards, I’ve actually got two credit cards, I got one for overseas purchases, that has no international fees. And looking at when I move that across it I have saved a couple thousand dollars for any of the software products we are buying overseas. I don't know how that company stays around but I'm okay with that it’s only a very low value credit card. So it's like $3,000 a month or something like that. With the primary credit card for the business, everyone's going to know my whole setup now. Louise: This is a like a truth serum podcast. Josh: It is, isn’t it? Hi, my name is Josh. And I've got two credit cards. The bigger business one, the International transaction fees, they're ridiculous. You know, if you get those on, if you're not using a credit card, if you're using a normal bank account with a Visa Debit, or something like that attached, do you know if that's just probably more of a banker question? Louise: But my background is banking, but it's been a while and transaction processing actually. And I don't know the answer to that. But I do know that in my bank account, if someone is paying me from overseas, I get charged the international fee. And if I have to refund somebody to an overseas bank account, I get charged the international fee. So I imagine that it's just their processing fee. Josh: Okay. That was definitely adding up on that credit card, which is why I got the second credit card. Louise: I don’t know the way around that is, but now's the time to approach the bank and find out what the way around that is because, you know, as the consumer, it's in our hand to be questioning this. Josh: Yeah, absolutely. There's definitely interest to be saved across the board. That's something else, I guess with cash flow management, looking into things if you do have overdraft facilities or if you do have different things such as loans, whether they be equipment finance loans, or even your home loans and things like that. Some of the rate variance is huge. I had a look at for us again, I'm getting probably back to the personal loan stuff now, but I look and changing from one of the Big Fours across to one of the others that are just online only type lender, without bringing up names or anything, I was going to be saving $10,000 a year in interest. [Really] On a home loan, I was like that is pretty substantial. I was like that's a huge amount. And my current home loans are in the, like, mid low threes. And but with the big four verse. One of the online only is which were low twos. Yeah, both variable. So they're both comparing apples with apples, both with offsets, but with everything else. We’re probably slipping away from cash flow stuff now. Louise: Well, it's making you look at it, though, isn't it? [Absolutely] Maybe cash is going because we could all use an extra 10k? Josh: That's right. I looked at my bloody hell that's like, not that I'm going out to dinner every week for 10k a year. That's nearly thousand dollars a month. Louise: Or you will own your home earlier. Josh: Absolutely, that's right. Louise: If you want your investment property for negative gearing they used to call it or tax reductions, then you go to one of the Big Fours. But if you want to get your personal residential property paid off quicker, go to one of the old shop around and find a better rate. Josh: Yeah, that's right. Absolutely. I think you've definitely given a few tips here that are really awesome to do with cash flow, making sure that he's keeping on top of it being positive, where you can. Spending time to be able to have that cash flow. Even if it might take a few years to build up to a comfortable spot for you, can do it with a beer in hand traveling around Queensland possibly until the borders open up and then come to a spot where you go, okay, in a few years, I can now start buying things saving 10%, 15%, 20%, even 30% on some of the software out there, if you're buying it per year, and I know us we offer a pretty substantial discount on IT services if paid yearly, definitely worth thinking about. So if there was to be one book that you suggest anyone to read, what would be that book that would that influenced you or that should influence them? Louise: Oh, aren't you writing a new book, Josh? Josh: I am writing a new book on lemons. Louise: On a serious note, I love the Keith Cunningham books. They're brilliant. And you said one book, but I am going to over extend that and say Barefoot Investor, Profit First from Mike McCalla, who has just written Fix This Next which I'm just reading at the moment. And really the foundation for me for getting your head around cash flow management when you don't have an accounting degree or your not a bookkeeper. Josh: I can vouch for profit first and barefoot investor both fantastic books. Before we head off, is there anything else you'd like to ask all leave our audience with? Louise: I guess the key really in the cash flow management and the motivation to keep doing it weekly, is to get clear on your goals, actually know the dollar value of your goal. It doesn't matter what it is, if it's 200 bucks, or another business of 2 million, whatever it is, get clear on your goal and then reverse engineer how you're going to get to that goal. So whether it's more sales, less expenses, double everything you're doing to get there quicker, until you know what your goal is or your comfort zone, your goal may be to reduce your risk. You know, if the industry changed that you're in and you got wiped out, or the industry got wiped out, you know, your goal might be to keep going for six months until you can change your direction of your business or get another job or whatever it might be. So that's probably the way I would get started with my cash flow and just get started. You know, until you start writing it down on a bit of paper or on a spreadsheet, just get started. And you know, really quickly you'll get excited about the results. And if they're not exciting results, at least you know about them and you can do something. Josh: And if you haven't liked your results, jump over to cashflowforyou.com and jump across the book a discovery call Louise will be more than happy to go through what she can do to help you out and make sure that the results make sense and that you do have achievable results with micro milestones. One of the things I love saying is if you aim for nothing, you'll be sure to hit it. So make sure you've got some goals in place. It's very important. Louise: Brilliant. Brilliant. Thanks Josh. Josh: No worries if anyone out there has enjoyed this episode, make sure to jump across to iTunes, leave us a review give us some love. And as I said go to cashflowsforyou.com if you're looking to hear a bit more information about how you can better your cash flow better position become positive, and not just in your money but in your emotion as well.

Mike Wakeland serves as the CEO of DialogueDirect, a leader of face to face fundraising acquisition in North America.  His focus is building strong partnerships with charity clients, while improving quality metrics within the industry. Mike and his team believe quality and quantity can be obtained with the right partnerships and coaching. Mike hopes to create an environment of sharing ideas and strategies to ensure sustainable growth.  His commitment to the B Corp community’s values has driven DialogueDirect to align with the movement as the first B Corp Certified face to face company in the United States. Mike joins Sustainable Nation to discuss: B Corp certification process and lessons learned Talent retention and recruitment after achieving B Corp status Importance of mission driven business Advice and recommendations for sustainability leaders Mike’s Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other mission-driven or B Corp business leaders? I would say the one piece of advice is your team will rally behind you because it's the right thing to do. It is a big lift. The lift is necessary to complete the assessment. It will take time, it will take resources, it will show some kinks in your armor. However, those are the exact reason why you'd want to do it. Those are the opportunities to realign the culture, realign the vision, and ultimately game plan for the business for the next generation. What are you most excited about right now in the world of business? Well, obviously the last four to six weeks have been interesting to say the least, but I'm still very optimistic. I'm positive. They are different times as of today. However, the situation we're all facing has actually provided a lot of us time to reflect personally, professionally, and ultimately give us an opportunity to plan for the future and reevaluate who we are and what our business priorities are. I'm really motivated to see the next generation bring the change in the world and to really reach out and take care of one another in a time of need, but more importantly focusing more on the impact we're making on this planet every single day, rather than just a paycheck we look forward to on Friday. I think there aren't many other companies to look at to really understand what that next generation of leaders looks like then Dialogue Direct. These are the people that we run into on the streets that are getting us to sign up for fundraising to support important nonprofits. These are passionate, dedicated people. I mean, it's not easy to walk up to a stranger and try to talk to them or, try to sell them on donating and these people are incredibly committed. A great group of people you guys have their at Dialogue Direct in a good, I think, glimpse into the generation that will be making some big changes in the coming years. Mike, what is one book you would recommend business leaders or B Corp leaders read? I'm actually in my office today looking at a whole stack of them. I've really been big into the Simon Sineck. I'm a big fan of his. I had the opportunity to see him speak a few times on a stage, but more importantly, I've had the opportunity to read his books, Start With Why. The one I'd recommend today would be The Infinite Game. It's something that I've shared with many people that I come into contact and back to my initial point, it's that we never really crossed the finish line. There's always more to do. The infinite game has really made the biggest impact on me that I would recommend to others. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work? Well, Zoom has obviously been very important recently. With that said the best resources we have are our people. As you mentioned, and thank you for your kind words, they're passionate, they're remarkable human beings. They're committed to our mission, which is changing the way America gives every single day. Our recent partnership we've developed is with an organization called Verb. It's a online development software learning platform. Our focus is professional personal growth from soft skills to leadership, to managerial skills. We understand that effective leaders know that it's not just about themselves, but it's about the future generation. So that's a resource that we've really committed ourselves to and put a lot of time and effort into. Where can people go to learn more about you and the work being done at Dialogue Direct? Yeah. Thanks Josh. Dialoguedirect.com is our website or you can go to bcorporation.net and look for our profile or coming to a city near you. Hopefully you have the opportunity to meet one of our passionate Dialoguers so they have the opportunity to help explain a critical mission or an organization they're passionate about and you have the opportunity to jump on board and join the movement.

In this episode, Clint and Josh discuss a biblical basis for church planting. Sometimes pastors and potential church planters can be caught flat-footed when pressed for a biblical basis to plant churches. Clint attempts to give his strongest scriptural argument for planting new churches. The Church Planting PrimerThe Compassion Center Transcription ALBERT: This is the Church Planting Podcast. Thank you for tuning inALBERT: Every week we sit down with leaders who are shaping church planting efforts.ALBERT: Here’s your host Josh Turansky and Clint CliftonCLINT CLIFTON: Well this is the church planting podcast and we‘re coming to you live from The Fells Point Compassion Center in downtown BaltimoreJOSH TURANSKY: Our ever-rotating studioCLINT CLIFTON: This place is crazy Josh!JOSH TURANSKY: Thank you so much. I think I’ll take that as a compliment.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. We got an email before we even launch our Sunday mornings. My family had moved into town, we were meeting in our house building the core team, and the Lutheran Mission Society said we have an outreach center that’s 50 years old. We’re going to shut it down if somebody else doesn’t come and run it. So, I took the offer and it was a trade. We would run it for them and they would let us use the building for whatever we want. Yep.CLINT CLIFTON: I’m not sure who got a better deal.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. I wanted that too. It was huge, it was a huge question because ‘Is this a waste of time?’ ‘Is this a distraction from what we should be doing? We’re trying to plant a church.’ And it remained a question mark in the air for through about 3 weeks, 3 months into the launch of our Sunday morning services. And then people started to show up.CLINT CLIFTON: Talk about a curve ball in church planting. You know, you came here to plant a church and then someone offered you a fully functioning Compassion Center. And you had to decide yes or no.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. Yeah.CLINT CLIFTON: That’s the craziness of church planting right there.JOSH TURANSKY: It was. And I would say it’s an overall win. I think the biggest thing about the Compassion Center...so, obviously people can’t what we are talking about.CLINT CLIFTON: No. Let’s describe it.JOSH TURANSKY: It’s a store front. It’s three stories high. We’re on the 2nd floor that’s not opened to the public. It’s just filled with trash bags and donated stuff. Right to my left here these are all stuff that’s going to be given to single moms, like teen moms who want to keep their babies. It’s a bunch of baby supplies. Homeless blankets, left over school supplies to give to the schools.CLINT CLIFTON: I see some underwears. There’s a lot of diapers. There’s a lot of crates.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. Yeah. This place is a mess! But it goes out to people that are in need. So, the biggest thing that the Compassion Center has done for us, is it clearly communicated to the neighborhood. Wealthy and poor, vulnerable and established, it says to the neighborhood that we’re a church that cares about the neighborhood. We’re just not looking for people to come to us on a Sunday but we’re present, active, doing ministry work throughout the week. So, it‘s been great. The city loves us, school loves us, they’re asking us to do more.CLINT CLIFTON: You sound like Trump. Everyone loves him.JOSH TURANSKY: My hair follicles are beautiful. My beard is the best!C: Well today we’re going to do a sort of one-off episode about the biblical rationale for church planting. And I wanted to take about this. We’re not gonna talk to anybody. Yeah, I want to talk about this because, it’s my experience that a whole bunch of pastors right now think Church planting‘s swell. Yeah. You know, they’re pro-church planting. Very positive about church planting. But still my observation is not a lot of guys are actually leading their churches to plant churches. You got any guesses as to why?JOSH TURANSKY: It’s overwhelming. And the existing congregation feels like you‘re just going to cannibalize our own congregation.CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. I think that’s a big part of it. A lot of churches feel like they’re on the edge of failure. They’re fragile. And so, the idea is like we’re going to you know, send people away, send resources away, to establish a church somewhere else like “How can we do that? We can barely hang on here.” So that’s one major reason. I mean another reason and maybe this is the one that isn’t so obvious but feels pretty obvious to me is I don’t think pastors really know how to contend for church planting using the scripture. So, what I just want to talk a little bit really quick about the biblical you know, the biblical basis for church planting. Yeah.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. I think that’s a great thing for us to give to the podcast audience. Because it is almost a universal issue. Even if you want to plant a church, you’ve got to make your case to the guy your on staff with sometimes.CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. So if you didn’t begin the church and you happen to be the pastor of a church that’s established or maybe you did begin the church and you established it without talking a lot about the biblical basis for church planting, and the church didn’t intend to multiply early and regularly, then you have an uphill battle probably against you. You already established a culture that the congregation is focused on how to make itself thrive. Not how to make the Gospel thrive in your city, or in your community, or around the world. So yeah, I just want to give you some tools for church planting, for biblical rationale for church planting.CLINT CLIFTON: So, let’s start with a big one. And a lot of these are kind of like this. There’s the part of the problem with biblical rationale for church planting is you can’t go, “The verse that says you should plant churches is blank.” I’ll continue in just a minute. There is a verse like that but I want to start of by saying I think God from Old Testament History all the way throughout the scripture has been about a people for Himself. So that means, the modern age, the church. You know Israel, His about a people for Himself, a group of people, distinct, set apart for Him. And so, we go into any community were there’s not a people that is set aside for Him, God’s desire is for there to be a holy people, a group of people that are set aside for Himself. Grow in his likeness all the time. I think you see that. You can see that throughout the Old and New Testament. So, as a fundamental you know, sort of starting place. But when we get to the New Testament I think, I referenced just a minute ago, the great commission is a call to start new churches. And maybe it’s so obvious that were not thinking about it as a call to start new churches. But I think the great commission is very explicitly a call to start new churches.CLINT CLIFTON: So, when we think about the great commission in church planting there’s like two very specific reasons why the great commission is exactly a call to start new churches. And those two reasons are number one: the things we’re told to do in the great commission. So, you and me are Christians. Everybody else in our church you know, they’re following Jesus or walking with Jesus are churched corporately is commanded to baptize, teach, and make disciples. Know that baptism, teaching, and making disciples we think about that as a very individualistic thing. But those are all community and ongoing things. So, the baptism, we think of baptism as a person going under water but it’s way more than just that, right? It’s more than that because it’s the entrance into the family of God. It’s like the public way in which we say were we’re so it’s kind of like a marriage. Sounds like a public declaration of something that’s inside and so, being baptized into a congregation is you know, it’s the front door to the congregation because it’s ongoing familial relationship. So that’s one. Teaching, obviously teaching is not something that’s an event. It’s not something that we do just once. The teaching ministry of Haven City Church is not just a one-time thing. And then making disciples obviously something that’s ongoing, making ongoing work. So, all the things that were called to do in the New Testament are ongoing things in regard to the great commission. Yet we picture the great commission as something we go and do and then we kind of come back home. JOSH TURANSKY: Right. And what you’re saying is like “Hey! Let’s interpret this passage with Hermeneutics 101 which how did the intended original audience hear this.” Like they would’ve understood what Jesus was commanding in their Jewish contexts. It all would have happened in a community. Right? A spiritual community that was gathered. CLINT CLIFTON: Not just that, I think about this in terms of by the way it was churched in. When you’re communicating about the great commission. You got to remember that Jesus was communicating about the church and the great commission. But the church didn’t exist. It wasn’t established. And Jesus was talking to a group of guys that couldn’t conceive of it exactly in the way that Jesus had in mind. And so, He was describing it rather than just saying “Go do it.” So why didn’t Jesus say go start churches, or go plant churches, well because they wouldn’t have understood what he was talking about. Jesus had to describe it. So, He described in in terms of making disciples, baptizing and teaching. That is the substance of the church. What organization out there does that? The church does that. You know? No other organization…the Compassion center, the Quanos,, the Elk’s Lodge, they don’t baptize, and teach, and make disciples on our own way. It’s only Jesus’ church that does that. And so, when Jesus said go baptize, teach, and make disciples He was saying go make churches. The second thing about the great commission that we know is you know, solidifies for us the great commission is very squarely about starting new churches. It’s just what you just mentioned, the original hearers of the great commission, the Apostles, they heard what Jesus said and their response was to plant new churches. So, Jesus’ Apostle heard Him say go baptize, teach, and make disciples just before His ascension. And they turned around that conversation and they went and did what we read about in the book of Acts. We hear what Jesus say go baptize, teach, and make disciples and we turn around and go on a two-week mission trip. Or we turn around and fill in the blank or whatever we would call the great commission. So there’s a huge difference between turning away from Jesus’ words go baptize, teach, and make disciples and going and establishing churches, as opposed to doing ministering and coming back home.JOSH TURANSKY: Kind of like a fly wheel. Because you’ve got Jesus describing what the church looks like. But then you’re going and doing it and it starting new churches that would be what the healthy church would look like. So, it is a circular argument in a good way. Yeah. No. That’s great. And we look at the early history of the church and I do think there’s authority in the description of what these Apostle’s did. What they set out.CLINT CLIFTON: For sure. They set out and establish the church and they did and the work that they did and those years following Jesus’ great commission, resonates to this day as we stand on the 2nd floor of the Compassion Center. We’re still doing the thing that Jesus had sought out to do. And we’d like to think that the Gospel spreading around the world like on the backs of missionaries. But it really, the missionaries were just the lines between the two churches. You know, the church sent them and established churches. And so, it’s like this interconnected web rather than it’s these straight lines. So, every time the Gospel goes somewhere, it roots itself in a community through local churches. And so, church planting is the normal and natural movement of the Gospel around the world. So, to not just go to a place but to go and grow roots in a place. So, it stays in that place for a long time. So, you see the great commission is like the central passage we can point to about church planting. When Jesus said go baptize, teach, and spread disciples He was saying go start churches. Another thing though is that Jesus Himself, Jesus as a figure, as a character in the scripture, He was a church planter. I mean, on two levels, Jesus was a church planter. Like He’s a church planter because in a cosmic way, like in a very big way, He came and brought Jesus’ church to the world. Right? I mean Jesus, He brought His own church to the world. So, He came and brought the Gospel to the world established the Church in the world. Jesus did that. So, He’s a big seed church planter. Unlike any of us that would ever start churches, He did it in a big way. But also, he was a local church planter. I mean if you think about the things that went on, you’d be hard pressed to make a theological argument that what Jesus was doing there wasn’t a church. Gathering those guys together, taking the communion with them, baptizing, teaching them, all the things that a local church does were happening there with Jesus and His Apostles and they went out and spread the Gospel around the world. So in essence, Jesus was a pastor of a small church that multiplied a lot. JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. Can I add to that? CLINT CLIFTON: Sure. JOSH TURANSKY: Because the didactic teaching is where He is commanding like this is what it looks like to be a member of the kingdom is so community-based. Like you’re going to practice, or you’re going to exemplify being a follower of me a true disciple, like the warp and woof of being a follower of Jesus is doing community. Being a spiritual community. Yeah.CLINT CLIFTON: So, Jesus is a church planter. The Apostle Paul for sure. I mean we obviously think of him as a church planer. If we think of the New Testament in church planting and we do have something biblical to hold on to it’s Paul, right? So, his commissioning and Acts 13 marks the beginning like this incredible church planting streak. He just is out going from town to town, community to community, over the course of 13 years. He embarked on three missionary journeys. Traveled over 7,000 miles. Planted during that time, just once we know about from the scripture, 14 churches during that incredible streak. So, Paul was literally just going place to place, starting new churches and after it was on. His version of rooted, sometimes it didn’t seem rooted. But he gets and he goes somewhere else you know, what seems like to me way too early. And so Paul’s a church planter. The apostles were church planters. I mean you’d look at all of those guys and essentially what they were spending their life doing after hearing the great commission was planting churches. So, you have all these major characters in the New Testament and best named character I don’t like to make it seem as if it’s story book and not real. It’s very but all these personalities and usually I mean all these different personalities JOSH TURANSKY: Revelation. Maybe you’re going to say this already, but when we get to the book of revelation, Jesus looks back. And it starts, he commends 7 local churches. So, it’s like Jesus is giving a stamp of approval. You know, if Acts was wrong, if Paul was wrong to establish these churches, then Jesus wouldn’t have come along and say “This is, you know, this is who I’m writing to.”CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. You’ve got the great commission telling them to go do it. Them stepping out in response to the great commission and establishing churches, and then the validation of that from Jesus somewhere along that stands and the relations. So, Jesus was a church planter, the apostles were church planters, the apostle Paul was a church planter. And so all the New Testament is just this you know, depiction of the church, the local church being established. And not just that but the communication is a testament to themselves. Like you think about the letters. Those letters, were letters to church planters. So, you just got all stuff. So, it’s almost like I think of it like the Trinity. You know like, church planting is such a part of the fabric of the New Testament that it’s a little hard to point out and say “Oh there is because it’s just everywhere.” It’s the whole thing. The same way the Trinity, you’re going to have a hard time finding you know, a verse that says you know that God exist in three persons. But we read the New Testament, that’s the understanding we walk away with about God.JOSH TURANSKY: That’s really strong. That’s a great point. Keep going.CLINT CLIFTON: And last I think you know; this is part of what we know of already about the scripture but it’s sometimes about connecting the dots and really just saying, “Oh yeah. That’s church planting.” The book of Acts alone there in the books of acts alone there are dozens of stories and references to church planting. The people going in and establishing churches. In fact, the book itself is the story of the founding of the Church (big C Church). But we see that story play out in the founding of many small c churches. You know, lots of churches begun in the New Testament yet Jesus, sending His apostles to plant the first church in Jerusalem. In Acts I you’ve got Philip preaching the Gospel and Sumeria and members of the church of Jerusalem going to share the Gospel elsewhere in like Acts 8. Then you’ve got Paul, the greatest missionary the world has ever known. Being converted from a church persecutor to a church planter in Acts chapter 9. And Barnabas sent by the church of Jerusalem to plant and lead church Antioch in Acts chapter 11. Paul and Barnabas together in Acts 13 going out setting out on this missionary journey, we just mentioned a little bit ago. And then all the way through into Acts 14 jus the Church continuing to be established. And I love this, there’s this passage in Titus 2, Not Titus number 2 but Titus also in chapter 1 like verse 5 were ‘Paul put in an order in what remained.” He said leaving Titus in Crete and he says to him “Put an order to what remains, we’ve Evangelized here, we’ve won some people over to Jesus, now I want you to take those people we’ve won to Jesus and put them in order in every town by appointing elders.” His like, the method behind by which they should put things in order or put the kingdom of God in order by organized people. By town and by church and giving them church leaders. So like there’s the New Testament is just full of conversations about the establishment of local churches and we should have no problems basically based on those things alone. Communicating people in our congregation, the biblical nature of what it is we’re leaving them to do and we’re trying for them to step out and lead new churches. JOSH TURANSKY: So, a pastor listens to this and it’s like I know all those verses, and I agree with your assumptions that the great commission is the greatest endorsement of church planting, but they’re looking at the congregation and saying “Well, I’m already doing the great commission here in my church, and now you’re asking me to think about somebody else’s church that I’m not going to lead. But you’re saying “No, no, no. If we’re reading this, and we’re thinking a bigger picture and our church fulfilling the great commission beyond who gathers with us on Sundays, who’s in our small groups, if we’re going to do the great commission in our city and around the world, it’s got to be including this concept of multiplication or starting the next church. CLINT CLIFTON: Well I think the way we think about that is Ephesians 4. He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as Evangelist, some as shepherds and teachers. And when you think about that spectrum as your church grows and matures and becomes established, people with all of those gifts emerge in the Church. And those apostles, those are the people in local church who have the impulse to carry the Gospel to other places. They’re the sent ones that are going to go. And so, beginning to pray from the very beginning of your time as a pastor for the church that God will illuminate some apostolic type guys or gals in your congregation that would have a burden for or an interest in the spreading of the Gospel in another place. Because it’s pitting those two things with each other is not helpful. Like we should build the church locally, we should help the people grow in Jesus locally, but we have to do that also recognizing that our church shares the responsibility just like we share the responsibility in each of our people locally, we also have the responsibility of carrying the Gospel to places where it’s not yet made it. And so, both of those things are really important and as the Church matures people begin to emerge. But most pastors don’t think they’re playing an active role in that. I think they’re playing a very passive role in that. If somebody where to emerge out of their congregation and say, “God’s calling me to go.” They’d say, “Okay. Go to seminary.” You know, they wouldn’t kind of have a category of how their church would participate in that. Rather than actually drawing people out of the congregations. Then who is it, God is calling someone from here to go. We know God has given us the responsibility as a Church to spread the Gospel no matter how wealthy we are, or how resources we are, or how big we are, we all receive the great commission in our bibles you know? So, if that’s true, how is it that we take that responsibility, even as a church of 30 or 50 people or 100 people. How do we take that responsibility and act upon it in order to worship or honor God? Well, someone has to emerge to be the sent one. And when that person emerges what do I do? Do I embrace them? Do I prepare them? Do I equip them? Do I mobilize the congregation to support them? Or do I say, “Yeah. Our church isn’t strong enough for that.” And the pastor that says that our church isn’t strong enough for that, is the pastor that believes that he is responsible to get the resources together for that. And we know, God equips those He sends. Those He call He provides for. And for us to be the pastors full of faith that say, “Yeah. If God is calling you, then God is calling us to support you to send you. And I don’t know where we’re going to get it, but we’re going to support you.” I’ll never forget I was a teenager, these kinds of ideas really impacted me in my Church because I remember my Church was starting a Church when I was just a teenage like 15 or 16 years old. And I remember this church planter that we were working with. He said, he came to our pastor and said. “Hey! I feel like God’s calling me to do this work with somebody else. He’s calling somebody else to join me in this work.” And my pastor’s response was, “Well I didn’t know how we’re going to pay for one, so I don’t know how we’re going to pay for to either but praise the Lord. Let’s do it.” And his response was like we can’t do any of this, you know? None of this is going to be accomplished because of our ingenuity, our resourcing, it’s all going to be accomplished because of God’s work. So, yeah. I think it’s important for pastors to have that posture that is very pro-church planter.JOSH TURANSKY: I just want to make sure that I’m understanding you correctly and that this is really clear. So being having with the church for a while there’s often times this mentality where we want to put people into categories and be like “You know that pastor over there, he’s really got a heart for mission.” “You know, that’s the missions’ guy.” “Oh, that guy over there that’s Clint you know? He’s the church planting guy” But what the case you’re making is that a Biblically healthy church should look at the great commission and be a church planting church.CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah let me be explicit as I can be about it. I think the church that is not actively seeking to multiply the Gospel through church establishing churches is sinning. That’s explicit yeah. I mean I just don’t and I think I could support that biblically. Essentially what I’m saying is if I were to say to you or to any Evangelical Pastor “Is the church that ignores the great commission sinning?” Most pastors would say “Yes.” And if I were to say, “Is the church that ignores church planting sinning?” They would say. “Well no. There are other ways to fulfill the great commission.” No there are not! The great commission is a call to start new churches. There are not other things we can do. It’s we made the great commission mean so much that means nothing now. You know, or almost nothing in the years of an American Christian. But the great commission is a call to start new churches. Jesus said go baptize, teach, make disciples. Churches baptize, teach, and make disciples. No other organization does it. That’s the church. When Jesus said go baptize, teach, and make disciples. He just assumed could have said “Go make churches.” JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah no, that’s really strong. And you’re also like accommodating the guy who feels overwhelmed. Like, that pastor doesn’t have to be an expert in church planting. There are great resources that exist. And participating in the church planting work can be… Like we have a partner for our church. Who, he wants to see church planting being taking place. He’s not there yet. They’re a big church. They want to have the systems in place down the road. But he’s like “Today, we’re going to participate by partnering with a local church plant that is going to multiply itself probably then faster than we are you know, from our big church.” CLINT CLIFTON: Here’s the thing. I just imagine pastors standing in front of Jesus. And you know, he’s asking Him in essence “What did you do with the great commission?” “What did you do with what I called you to do?” And a lot of them are going to answer by saying, “Well we give to our mission board.” Or “We supported this or that” And I think GK Chesterton I know I mention this all the time. But GK Chesterton anything worth doing is worth doing poorly at first just this idea that we have to be responsible for the things that God has given us responsibility for. And He has given every church, every church regardless of size, or budget, or know how, the responsibility of multiplying churches, of fulfilling the great commission of going baptizing, teaching, and making new disciples. Every church has that responsibility. So, it may be overwhelming to you. It may feel scary to you. It may make you feel nervous about the resources of your church and how good you’ll be pulling that off. But it is still your responsibility. God will look at you and say, “What did you do with what I called you to do with? With what I told you to do?” And this it’s not like, one of the many commands of the scripture. This is about the last words of Jesus before he ascended into heaven to his disciples. So, if He wanted to put an exclamation point on anything it was this. And so, for many of our churches I just think we sort of outright ignore it or we count our support generally for our denominations, and our network, as checking that box off. And I just don’t know that God’s going to accept that as a substitute.JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. What comes to mind. Just winding down here. Just is that at beginning of Acts 8. God was willing to let His church go through something so violent. To move the Jerusalem church out into the mission field, you know? He allowed the martyrdom of Steven and the persecution of the Christians just to get this happening. CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. we don’t want persecution to be the thing that finally gets us going.JOSH TURANSKY: No. Please no. Man that’s encouraging to me personally. I want to go back; you know one of our 6 values in our church is church planting or I think multiplication is the term we’d use. But man, this is good. CLINT CLIFTON: So, let me give you some practical stuff before just brow beat you nad leave you know like feeling like a terrible pastor. So, one thing you could do, is start to educate your congregation on this. So, practical, really practical. Plan a sermon series where you highlight the church planting movement of the New Testament or the biblical rationale for church planting. Begin to talk to your people about it. Another thing you can do soften your people to this, is start viewing churches, other churches in your community especially new churches in your community as allies and not competitors. Meaning that from the platform when you talk about them, you talk about them with benevolence and joy and anticipation for their growth. So, if a new church is starting in your community then you’re saying “Man we pray that this church is successful and fruitful.” That’s a subtle thing that says to your congregation that “Oh! they’re on our team.” “We’re on the same team. Our pastor doesn’t see them as you know, McDonald and a Burger King; or Walmart and Target across the street from each other. We’re not competitors. We’re actually working towards the exact same goal in our community.” So, I think that’s huge. And another very important practical way you can do this is we have developed a class called Church Planting Primer. That has, we know we advertise it on the podcast, but it has some very practical information that you could share with your congregation that is proven to and has in many churches. Helped churches get their mindset change, help their mindset of churches change about this. So, it’s called the Church Planting Primer – Why new churches are needed? And how they’re started. It’s absolutely free. You can get them for free from newcityplanting.org/primer. You can download everything, if you don’t feel comfortable teaching it yourself. There are videos with me teaching it. If you do feel comfortable teaching it, there’s a teaching manuscript you can do it yourself. There’s a workbook and PowerPoint slides, and sort of everything you would need. It’s totally free. And you should take that and teach your congregation, it only takes 4 Sundays. There’re videos that come with it. And I think if you were to do that, you would see a change in the perception of your congregation about this issue. JOSH TURANSKY: Really good. Awesome. Well, we appreciate everybody who tuned in. And we would just like to give a shout out to the podcast. There’s a Facebook page where we share the episodes that are coming out, updates, resources. There’s the website churchplantingpodcast.org. CLINT CLIFTON: It sounds like you’re not confident.JOSH TURANSKY: Almost, almost. And there’s the News City Network website which has a lot of resources which you’ve created on it. So awesome. Good stuff.CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. Thanks Josh!JOSH TURANSKY: Yeah. Thanks Clint!Have you ever had that experience of hearing a great idea? I mean a truly great idea and thinking “Oh!

Richa Sigdel: You manage things, you lead people. I'm Richa Sigdel, and I'm a Tri-City influencer. Paul Casey: Then when you're faced with a situation, you're tempted to cower, you're going to summon the courageous version of yourself and you're going to say, "What would the courageous version of me do in this situation?" Put that on your whiteboard. Announcer: Raising the water level of leadership in the Tri-Cities of Eastern Washington. It's the Tri-Cities Influencer podcast. Welcome to the Tri-Cities Influencer podcast where Paul Casey interviews local leaders like CEOs, entrepreneurs, and non-profit executives to hear how they lead themselves and their teams so that we can all benefit from their experiences. Here's your host, Paul Casey of Growing Forward Services, coaching and equipping individuals and teams to spark breakthrough success. Paul Casey: Thanks for joining me for today's episode with Katie Klute. Katie is the director of the Recovery and Wellness Center of Eastern Washington. And, a fun fact about her, she tells me she was in a quartet in high school called, the Split Ends. Katie Klute: Actually, I think we were a quintet, but we'll go with that. Yes, I was the lead singer- Paul Casey: The lead singer? Katie Klute: ... not only a participant, but the lead singer, yes. Paul Casey: Wow. Katie Klute: And, we got the name because of course back then Aqua Net was all the rage and we all had long hair with big bangs. So, inevitably when you destroy your hair, you get split ends. Paul Casey: Split ends. Well, before we ask Katie our first questions, let's check in with our Tri-Cities Influencers' sponsors. Neal Taylor: Hi, my name is Neal Taylor. I am the managing attorney for Gravis Law's Commercial Transactions team. I have Josh Bam with me, here today. Josh, say hello. Joshua Bam: Hi, I'm Joshua and I am one of the attorneys with the Commercial Transactions team, which has been growing very rapidly because a lot of the clients really appreciate the really reliable services we provide at extreme value.

Joshua Bam: Let's get started on protecting and accelerating your business today. Give us a call at 5-0-9-3-8-0-9-1-0-2, or visit us online at www.gravislaw.com. Paul Casey: Thank you for your support of leadership development in the Tri-Cities. Well, welcome Katie. I was privileged to meet you ... you figured out it was 21 years ago- Katie Klute: It was. Paul Casey: ... when we first met each other. I was an elementary school principal and you were a parent coming in with a four year old. Katie Klute: Yes, a four year old. Yes. Paul Casey: Wow. Katie Klute: Yes. I remember that day very clearly actually because we started the meeting in prayer. Paul Casey: Oh. Katie Klute: I thought that was really cool. Paul Casey: It is cool. Katie Klute: Yeah. Paul Casey: Well, glad you are here with us today and let's start out with what did you aspire to be when you grew up and how did that morph throughout the years until you got where you are, today? Katie Klute: My life is I think very interesting. When I was younger, my very best friend Lindsey and I used to get together and we would have this business. And, we actually had file folders and fake client names- Paul Casey: Wow. Katie Klute: ... and receipt books and we would make fake phone calls. So, I think somewhere inside of me, I always had that desire to be a business woman. But, I was also ill as a child and later in life ended up having an eating disorder. So, I spent a considerable amount of time in the hospital. And, so I had this drive to become a nurse. So, I started the nursing program when my kids were little. I got to anatomy and physiology and thought, what on earth am I doing? How does anyone do this? So, kudos to all those women out there that can do to school and be a mom. And, settled on eventually starting Recovery and Wellness, which I think plays very well together in the business woman and .. though I'm not a nurse, helping those that are in need. Paul Casey: Fake file folders with clients? I mean how- Katie Klute: Yes. Paul Casey: .. many kids have that little fantasy? Katie Klute: I know right? Right. Me. And, I left with them. Yeah. Paul Casey: Who've been, your mentors and advisors along that leadership journey? Katie Klute: I think I've had a handful, but most ... the person that comes to my mind most is my dad. My dad owned a grocery store when we were growing up. And, in fact if we did not have a job, we worked at the grocery store. And, he taught the importance of hard work. He taught the importance of living by your word. And, just what it means to get up in the morning and have a fulfilled productive day. Katie Klute: He was also really great in looking after his customers. So, the people that came into the grocery store just didn't buy groceries. He actually was one of the first to start a program, where the elderly could call in, someone would shop for them, and then take take it out, which was really great when it was snowing. Paul Casey: Yeah. Katie Klute: He also used to buy bus tickets for some of his customers that they couldn't get to the store. So, he ran a grocery store. But he also really led it with his heart, which I appreciate. And, I also got fired from the store when I was briefly there. So, that's another fun fact. Paul Casey: Other mentors or advisors along your way and what they produced in you? Katie Klute: I've met so many amazing people, this is a hard question. I will say without calling out names, I will say that those that I am most drawn to all have a unique quality that I innately love. I mean I think there are people out there that lead that maybe should not be leading or their leadership skills, maybe not in line with mine. But, when I went to create my business, I really pulled from those relationships. You being one of them and what you do in this community, just the way you lead your life and you lead it with integrity and you pass that on to everyone you meet. There's no false faux Paul out there. It's what you see is what you get. And, I really appreciate it. Paul Casey: Hmm, thank you so much. We got the privilege of doing Leadership Tri-Cities- Katie Klute: We did. Paul Casey: ... on the same class- Katie Klute: That's right. Paul Casey: ... but I still picture you up on stage reading the sponsors names and saying, "I hate doing this and I'm going to mispronounce all of these names." But, you were so real yourself with your integrity, no faux Katie either. What's the best team you've ever been on and what made that experience special? Maybe even what did it teach you about leading a team? Katie Klute: My experience starting Recovery and Wellness, I've had the opportunity to work with, this is probably, if we're looking at teams, this is probably the third team of Recovery and Wellness. Each person that came into Recovery and Wellness and worked with me had a very specific purpose within Recovery and Wellness. And, so those that came on board when I first started, what they brought to the table was helping to implement documentation and paperwork and all the fun stuff that goes with starting a behavioral health agency. Katie Klute: And, then when we were looking at starting our first intensive outpatient program for eating disorders, Mary Corley, who is ... I call her my forever friend, she was one of my first therapists to help launch that program. And, just the beauty and elegance that she brought every time she ran a group is phenomenal. But, I would say that the team that we currently have is phenomenal. And, what I love most is that they bring 110% every single day. Doesn't matter where they are personally, maybe that day having a rough day personally, but the compassion and the listening and what they give our patients every single day is just admirable. Katie Klute: And, they lead in very unique ways as well. Whether it's sitting with somebody that's struggling with depression or anxiety, struggling to complete a meal on an eating disorder program, that all takes a specific leadership style and all nine of us have a very unique way of doing that. But, it all blends together, very well. Paul Casey: I love it when my guests say the current team they're on is the best team they've ever been on. I just think that is really cool. It just shows they keep getting better and keep attracting people that are quality. And, by saying that they're all giving 110% shows up. The Ideal Team Player written by a Patrick Lencioni, a good book read that I'm in right now. So being hungry is one of the top three characteristics of the ideal team player. Meaning hungry to just keep continuously improving. Katie Klute: Right. Paul Casey: Sounds like you've got that team. Katie Klute: We do and we ask the question in our interviews, that personality trait. What do you want from an organization? What do you want from an employer? I think it's really important that you have employees that are mutually invested. I can give so much as an employer, but there's also the expectation that an employee needs to be mutually invested, otherwise it just doesn't work. And, I do have that on that team, on this team right now. Paul Casey: What a great question. "What do you want from an employer," as an interview question. I like that one writing that one down. If you had three adjectives to describe leadership in a nutshell, and there's so many that you could choose from, which three would you choose and why? Katie Klute: I would choose, integrity, drive and grace. Integrity is very important to me and also something we talk about in interviews. I think if you're not leading your life or living your life or leading your business with integrity, then what are you doing? How can you possibly run an organization if you're not living by integrity? It's also good to check yourself. Are you being honest with yourself? Are you living your values with integrity personally, professionally? Katie Klute: Drive is another one. Being an entrepreneur is not for the weak at heart. It's a very difficult task and there are days where drive has to be found in creative ways. Not everyone bounces out of bed with drive. I know. I certainly don't. So, finding drive and again in unique ways and places. Katie Klute: And, then grace. I love the word grace and as a human, as a woman, as an entrepreneur, failing or being viewed as failing is pretty hard and just being able to find grace to get back up when you fall. Paul Casey: Like self-compassion, that kind of grace? Katie Klute: Yeah, it could be. Yes. Paul Casey: And, also showing grace to others when they mess up instead of shooting at them, so to speak. Katie Klute: Right, right. I saw a picture, and I'm going to botch this, but I saw a picture and it was of a woman's straightening another woman's floral crown. And, it said, "Be the woman that straightens your friend's crown without sharing that her crown was crooked." Paul Casey: Ooh. Katie Klute: And, I loved that. Yes. Paul Casey: That's a great phrase. Great phrase. And, on that drive, I'm reading a book now called The Power of When, and the author has done tons of studies on your chronotype and if you've heard of chronotypes before, but it's whether you are a lion, a dolphin, a bear or a wolf. Katie Klute: Okay. Paul Casey: So, if you're a morning person, mid-morning, an afternoon or a night owl and all the different ways to maximize your chronotype because you're born with it. And, so when you said "You don't bounce out of the bed in the morning with like, yay, this is going to be an awesome day," that reflects something about your chronotype. But, just by doing some little things like finding that drive, like you said, you can still work with that and have a great day. Katie Klute: Yeah, I'll have to look into that. I'm really big into the Myers-Briggs right now. And, the fact that I'm the ENFP, which means I have a squirrel mentality. So, I don't know if your book also has a squirrel in it, but I'd be interested in reading it. Paul Casey: I'm an INFJ- Katie Klute: Okay. Paul Casey: ... so which is one of the rarest ones I heard, but we've all found each other in the Tri-Cities, it seems like. No, me too. Katie Klute: Yeah. Paul Casey: Leaders have to see around corners. So, what do you do to look ahead and envision the future for the Recovery and Wellness Center and then what do you do when you have that vision? Katie Klute: I'm actually a very visual person. So, my desk is full of sticky notes and pieces of paper and everything makes sense. But, when I first started Recovery and Wellness, I actually drew what I wanted a facility to look like. And, it's very embedded in my brain. I look at it all the time. It's a sketch that I have that hangs in my office and so that helps me visually to stay motivated. But, also being ... implementing the grace when I set out for a goal and unable to attain it, being okay with adjusting it and figuring out how it can fit into this vision that I have moving forward. Paul Casey: So, that's you. So, you've got the vision. How do you communicate that then to the rest of your team? Katie Klute: We talk a lot about what Recovery and Wellness wants to look like. What we all want it to look like. As an employer, I look at my employees, what are they bringing professionally? How can I support that? Whether it's a training that I can send them to, but I also want to know what's in their heart and what they want to accomplish in their job and how does that fit into Recovery and Wellness. Katie Klute: We all want to see growth, we want to see it ... we talk about it all the time. We'll have strategy meetings where we sit down, I have a particular therapist that is my strategy person. And, we talk about what do we want this to look like, what are the steps to get there? Because I inevitably as a ENFP jump way ahead to the future and it's difficult to stay in the present. And, so having somebody say, "Well, that's a great idea but we're going to need 16 more employees and about 4,000 square feet," you know more space. Paul Casey: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Katie Klute: So, just being open to other suggestions, having that discussion and really being purposeful about implementation. So, it's done right. Paul Casey: That's great. And Tri-Cities Influencers staff around your weaknesses. Katie's a big vision person, but she needs a steps person an, implementation person wrapped around her so that they're are beautiful complimentary team together. And I really enjoy how you said like you want to find out how, what their vision is fits with the company vision. Because when you do that, that that Venn diagram is almost on top of each other. It's not just this little tiny sliver, but it's like, "No, we're going the same direction together." Katie Klute: Right. And, I think it secures employment. I'm going to just say that. Everybody, not everybody, but most people go to a job and it's a paycheck and then they go home. I want the employees to come to a place they love being, yes, they get paid, but they're also being able to fulfill their purpose in this world and feel like they're making a difference. Paul Casey: Adjusting the vision versus digging in with, "Nope, we're going to stay this course." Talk to me about that. How do you know when, "Yeah, that's not working. We got to scrap that and go a different route," versus "This is where we have to go, folks." Katie Klute: I think that started a long time ago and I'll use the example of as I was trying to determine whether or not my calling in this world was to actually start a behavioral health agency. I had gone to other treatment facilities, eating disorder treatment facilities on the West side and sort of pitched them this idea of them expanding services in this area. And, I always got the same response, which was "There's no money in your community," or "Where is the money in your community?" And nevermind what is the need in your community? And, so I actually started the process of starting Recovery and Wellness and hit walls. And we had to just take a step back and figure out but why is this happening? What's going wrong? And, there were actually times where I thought, "Okay, forget this. I'm just not doing this." Katie Klute: And I found myself in prayer. That's okay, I'm talking about prayer. But, I found myself in prayer and I would say, "Tell me what I'm supposed to be doing, who ... what is my niche?" Because I would go off these tangents again, squirrel. And, I would go off on these tangents of who my quote, niche was. And I'm not kidding you, every single time I would get an email, a phone call, someone would reach out and say, "I know someone with an eating disorder," or "I have an eating disorder. Where do I go for help?" Katie Klute: So, I have stayed true to that course, and I'm forgetting your question now, but I think staying true to that course because you are going to hit walls. I mean that's part of life. It's what you do with that wall or if you fall, it's what you do with the journey of standing up, again. We do hit walls at Recovery and Wellness. We do disagree about things, but we're also very open and genuinely care about what the opinion is of someone else. And, if we decide as a team that something doesn't fit within a vision, then we'll talk about it and adjust accordingly. Paul Casey: Yeah, I think it was Jim Collins that said, "Preserve the core and stimulate progress." In other words, there are some non-negotiables that you've got to stay true to, but then we're going to be flexible about how we get to those places, and I'm writing down squirrels need to sketch their vision. Katie Klute: It helps. Paul Casey: It does. It does. Well, before we get to our next question, asking Katie about her leadership rhythm, let's check in with our sponsors. Jason Hogue: Jason Hogue, American Family Insurance. Paul Casey: Jason, what is the biggest push back you'd get about life insurance? Jason Hogue: Hey, Paul. Yeah. One of the biggest push backs I get from life insurance is from folks that are single. They usually ask me, "Why do I even need this? I don't have kids. I don't have any dependents or spouse, why do I need this?" Ultimately, whenever you pass on, there's going to be somebody there to pick up the pieces. There's going to be somebody to deal with your affairs, and I would say it's your responsibility to make sure that there is funds, there's money there so that person can take the time needed to go through it properly and not make it their responsibility. Paul Casey: Awesome, Jason. So tell us how can our listeners get in touch with you? Jason Hogue: You can swing by our office on Road 68 in Pascoe or give us a call at 5-0-9-5-4-7-0-5-4-0. Paul Casey: Okay, let's talk about your leadership rhythm. What is your ideal day look like? Katie Klute: Okay, I have to be honest, I was actually reading these questions prior to and I actually wrote the word, "hah," I'm not sure what leadership rhythm is. Katie Klute: My ideal day begins with a workout. I have not done that for awhile while will be honest in that, but my ideal day starts with some sort of body movement. I do enjoy a run. I do enjoy the gym. I find power in lifting weights and for me feeling powerful is important. Paul Casey: Heard you like boxing? Katie Klute: I do like boxing, yes. I love boxing. But, I also start my day in prayer, whether that's being thankful for what the day before led to, or what lies ahead. I'm a very consistent prayer-er that prays for my staff, prays for our patients, even those we have helped previously, currently or who we will be helping in the future. And, then typically I head into work and have this agenda of what I'm going to do and it gets tossed out the window within 30 seconds because we work in the mental health industry and that's okay. Katie Klute: If I had a day where I did exactly what was on my list, I would wonder what was wrong. We are blessed to be able to ebb and flow with the needs of our patients. And, so I am prepared for that every single day. And, it does change every single day and that's okay, for our business, that's okay. Paul Casey: And, at the end of your day, how do you ramp down? Katie Klute: I actually enjoy quiet time, whether that's taking a walk. My husband and I will take a walk together so I can sometimes debrief slash yell slash do whatever I need to do. But, I do appreciate quiet time and usually I find myself upstairs in my room about 7:30 and just reading. I'm big into reading right now. Melinda Gates has a really great book out. So, reading and a lot of just working on self. Paul Casey: What happens when you don't exercise in the morning? Can you tell a difference when you start the day out that way? Katie Klute: Absolutely. Oh, yes. And I have recently gone through sort of a medical slowdown and so have not been able to exercise. And, I went for a run for the first time since last year, which is really super exciting and I felt completely different clarity. And, again, for me it's feeling ... it helps, it helps me feel clear-minded and powerful. There's something about feeling powerful, not in an arrogant way, but in a, "I can accomplish what I set out to do." Paul Casey: Self-confident way. Katie Klute: Yeah. Paul Casey: Yeah, yeah. Oh by the time this podcast airs, you're going to be back on track. Katie Klute: Oh, good. Paul Casey: As leaders, we know we must change in order to grow. How do you handle change? I mean, you're an extrovert, so that could mean you're totally cool with it. But, how do you lead change then in in your organization? Katie Klute: Mm-hmm (affirmative) I actually love change, which can be a bad thing. Change to me is exciting. Paul Casey: Yep. Katie Klute: So, finding the ability to stay present is actually change for me because I'm a forward thinker. So, living in the moment is something that I'm working on. But also ... I spaced your question. Paul Casey: How do you lead in with others? Because a lot of people don't like change. Katie Klute: Right. And again, I think within the team structure that we have currently, we do have those that have the ability to change and we have those that are very black and white thinking and don't like the idea of change. So, I think it comes with appreciating everyone's opinions, being able to explore how we can implement change in a way that's comfortable for everyone. And again, for me, I like change and sometimes change is inappropriate in this time period. And, so relying on the team to be able to say to me, "That's a great idea, but let's hold steady and, look at changing down the road." Paul Casey: Yeah, timing is so important, change efforts. The difference between a home run and a foul ball is just timing. Katie Klute: That's right, exactly right. Paul Casey: The guy gets up to bat, he hits it afar, everyone goes, "Ah". Then it drifts foul, everybody goes, ,"Oh." But it was just a second- Katie Klute: That's right. Paul Casey: ... too early or a second too late. He hit it far enough- Katie Klute: Right. Paul Casey: ... which means to change effort's probably worthy, it's just the when. I also like what you said about how can it be a little bit more comfortable to those black and white thinkers- Katie Klute: Sure. Paul Casey: ... like "We are going to change folks but what's a better way that we can get through this together so relationships don't suffer?" Katie Klute: And there is such beauty and black and white thinking. We talk about that a lot with our patients. Is this a black and white thinking? Is there any room in the middle? What is gray look like? But, there's some solid discussions that come from an individual that has black and white thinking. I mean for me it really opens my eyes because I tend to be a very rainbow, everything is colorful and wonderful and that's not always true. Paul Casey: Yes. And, you said you're working on living in the moment. I remember something I did to help myself do that as it was some type of computer app that was a mindfulness gong. And, so on the hour I would set a timer. So at nine o'clock this little gong would go dong. There's just this fun sound I remember like, "Okay, I need to stay here right in the moment. I prayed for that person who was walking in my office," or "Oh, bring me back on task. What am I supposed to be doing right now?" Katie Klute: Isn't that amazing? Katie Klute: And, people would come in and hear the gong and be like, "What's that?" I go, "Well, it's just, it's reminding me to stay here fully present with you." And, they would really like that. Like, "Whoa. That's pretty cool." Katie Klute: That's very cool. I'll have to look into that. Paul Casey: Leadership isn't all roses as you've mentioned. So, how do you handle disappointment in leadership and entrepreneurship? And, how do you bounce back from when you have a disappointment? Katie Klute: I think it goes back to a grace that we talked about, earlier. Paul Casey: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Katie Klute: Again, being flexible and thinking as an entrepreneur, I would say that I set out with this very specific, this is what I'm going to do. And, there was a lot of disappointment within that, looking at how I wanted things to go and it didn't go that way. Paul Casey: It never does, does it? Katie Klute: Right. And, instead of, I mean, I'm not kidding. There were times I was like, "Forget this, this is, this is so not worth it." But, I truly believe that Recovery and Wellness is my purpose in life. And, so that drives me to continue to get past those disappointments. I think also having a really solid support system that can talk through that, but the grace to be able to say, "Gosh, I failed at that," or "I have to change the way this looks and that's not really what I want to be doing." Paul Casey: Sure. Katie Klute: And, being okay with that for the betterment of, not me personally, but for the betterment of Recovery and Wellness. And, I think as entrepreneurs we have to look at that. It's like, is this a personal thing or is this going to better the business? And, how does that weigh out? Paul Casey: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Because it could get tangled up. So, you have clients that fall off the wagon so to speak, right? Katie Klute: Yes. Paul Casey: And how do you encourage them to bounce back so that they don't stay down? Katie Klute: I talk a lot about the importance of exploring the beauty of standing again. And, we do have, I mean eating disorders, I'll talk about that, but there is a high relapse rate with eating disorders. It doesn't mean that they have failed. It means that they just need a little bit more support. So, many people come to us that have had this disorder for most of their lives and when we get six, eight, 12 weeks with them, there's inevitably going to be relapse. Katie Klute: So again, that comes with the way our therapists provide support and treatment, looking at each person individually. We always say that everyone in that room has one thing in common and that's the eating disorder. But, the reason why they have it and the way it's treated as completely different. So, holding space for them, we are proud of them every single day they come through that door. That is such a hard thing to do. And, then giving up their time, being vulnerable, trusting us and being okay with failure. Paul Casey: So, listeners, that's a good line, "You're not a failure when you fall off the wagon, it's a need for more support." Katie Klute: Absolutely. Paul Casey: So, who are you surrounding yourself with? I'm on a diet now called Optavia and I've got a nutrition coach and she's checking in every day on me and that they just keep pounding away. Utilize your coach, utilize your coach- Katie Klute: That's right. Paul Casey: ... utilize your coach. And, since I know I have to report back to her, it's going to make me think twice before I put that bad food in my mouth. Katie Klute: And, trust is so huge. Also with our ... between the patients and the team. It takes a long time for our patients to trust us. And, once they do it just changes the game. We ask them to share information of how things went the night before and that's really hard the next morning, especially if we've asked them to do something that they were not able to accomplish. And again, that's okay. It's let's talk about it, how can we better support you in this journey to recovery? Paul Casey: At the end of your time in this current position, what legacy do you want to leave behind? What do you really want to see accomplished? Katie Klute: I believe that I am fulfilling my legacy. I really believe that establishing treatment for individuals with eating disorders was my calling. And, so I would love to see Recovery and Wellness continue to grow. And, I think at the end of the day, if people can continue to get help for their mental illness, then I will have the fulfilled for my purpose. Paul Casey: Yay. Katie Klute: Yeah. Paul Casey: So, finally, what advice would you give to new leaders or anyone who wants to keep growing and gaining more influence? Katie Klute: I think the, "I don't know enough, I need to know more, I'm not enough," is a evil little whisper that we hear often. And, so just continuing to stay the course. There's no dream that's too big. I truly believe that. I know people that have these goals in their life and they just either don't know how to do it. They don't know how. They don't have the support system, they don't think they have the support system. They think I've gotten this far in life and I haven't done it yet, so what's the point? Katie Klute: And, and I would just say, "If it's embedded in your heart and if it keeps coming to your mind, it's meant to be something that you do." And, there are tons of people in the Tri-Cities, you and I being some of them that are available to help answer questions. We both have network systems. If somebody needs a banker or Dan Robertson or Robinson or whatever, the tech guy can help plug people into what they need in order to accomplish that goal or dream. Paul Casey: I heard it said, "The bigger the dream, the bigger the team that you need to pull that off." Katie Klute: True enough, absolutely. Paul Casey: So, small dream, you probably just need one or two people on your support team. But, you got something big like you pulled off, you needed a good cadre of people, mentors, staff, supporters to pull that off. So, I love that advice. So, how can our listeners best connect with you if they want to talk about leadership or entrepreneurship, but also if the know a friend or themselves who might need to actually come to the center? Katie Klute: Sure, the easiest way to reach us is via phone 5-0-9-6-1-9-0-5-1-9. And, we do offer complimentary assessments, so an assessment doesn't mean we're going to put a person directly into treatment. That's oftentimes the fear. It's just an opportunity to gauge where a person is at. They can also find us on Facebook, Instagram, and our website, which is recoveryandwellness.org. Paul Casey: Well, thanks again for all you do to make the Tri-Cities a great place and keep leading, well. Katie Klute: Thank you. Paul Casey: Let me wrap up our podcast today with a leadership resource to recommend Josh Toner Basin Pacific insurance, applications for productivity. Josh, the app man, what do you got for us today? Josh Toner: Hey Paul, thanks for having me here today. Today I'm here to talk about Habitify. This is a habit tracking app. This app is on iOS and Apple devices. So, it's not on any of your Android devices, but there is a ton of apps like this. So if this one doesn't work for you, please go look around. But, this is a habit tracking app used to monitor the habits your either building or breaking. Josh Toner: When working on habits, consistency is the name of the game and repetitive action seals in a new habit that you're working on. So, being able to monitor those tendencies is a really cool thing to have in your pocket and be able to pull out your phone and take items off that you finished or be able to go in and see your tendencies throughout the week. Josh Toner: As an example, I started off the work week really strong and then tend to get tired and less consistent towards the end of the week. This app is good for things like 30 day challenges, working on exercising, stop eating at 7:00 PM,, daily walks at 10:00 AM if you're trying to get a break during the work week, smoking habits, brush your teeth three times, daily. If you want to use it for work, you can cold call 10 people a day. If you're trying to get two referrals throughout the week, but really you're not working on anything, you're not monitoring and tracking. Josh Toner: So, this is a good app if you're trying to get out there and maybe start a new morning routine, a nightly routine, or just have clear more focused goals, stay on track, monitor your goals and your tendencies, keep notes on your progress and then show a progress in tables or charts. Josh Toner: There's good monthly progress, things like that, you can check out. Other apps to check out are Momentum, which creates a chain like experience. So, as you tic things off, it creates a chain. And, if you miss those habits and breaks your chain, there's apps like Habitica, which makes the habit tracking into a game where you have a character who gains points and armor, things like that. New ones come out daily, so check out new ones if none of those work for you. Paul Casey: Habits are the key to your daily success. Thanks Josh. How can people get in touch with you to talk more about apps? Josh Toner: If you want to get a hold of me, you can reach me at jrtoner, T-O-N-E-R @basinpacific.com and that's B-A-S-I-N P-A-C-I-F-I-C.com. Paul Casey: And, don't forget to consider patronizing our sponsors of Tri-City Influencer, Gravis law, and Jason Hogue, American family Insurance. Paul Casey: Finally, one more leadership tid bit for the road to help you make a difference in your circle of influence. The quote by J. Miller, "Believing in yourself is not for you. It's for every person who has touched your life in a significant way, and for every person in your life will touch the same way five minutes from now or five centuries from now." Keep growing forward.

PATO AND HAMMER STICKERS: https://corner-of-the-galaxy.myshopify.com/products/pato-hammer-stickers COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- We decided, that for show no. 700, we'd go big. So we did. On today's show, you'll get to hear from four exceptional guests that span the past and present of the LA Galaxy. And hopefully, you'll get some never-heard-before insights into some of the biggest names in club history. First up is General Manager Dennis te Kloese. Dennis makes his first appearance on the show to talk about how he's put together a competitive team for 2019 and what 2020 might look like. He's candid, easy-going, and full of information you don't want to miss. Also, he should probably have his own podcast. The man is a genius when it comes to soccer, and we're glad we could touch bases with him. Next on the show, we throw it back a bit. That's where were joined by former LA Galaxy left-back Todd Dunivant. Todd is the General Manager at the Sacramento Republic and is trying to push that team into MLS. Todd will talk about the MLS Cup-winning teams he was on and what was so different about that day. He'll also let Josh make a short joke about Landon Donovan. It's a good joke, though. And joining the show to talk about the Galaxy's last win over Real Salt Lake, and what the Galaxy are trying to do in their remaining two games, is defender Dave Romney. Dave talks about the players' mindset and conditioning following a hectic September that isn't quite over yet. And Dave has his sights set much higher than just the playoffs. Finally, Galaxy legend Mike Magee calls in from Chicago to tell us all how he almost retired before joining the Galaxy in 2009. And also why he has his very own vodka. Something about winning bonuses, Landon Donovan, Omar Gonzalez, and alcohol. But show 700 also gets you through some analysis on the Galaxy's playoff-clinching win over Real Salt Lake and gets you ready for the game against Vancouver on Sunday. And we shouldn't have to say it, but the only reason we've made it through 700 shows is that you listen, you care, and you make us strive to get better every single show. Enjoy 700. Because next year we're going to step it up for 800! Thanks - Josh + the CoG Team Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory

Episode 280: PART 2 – Sales Advice From My Friend Who Makes Over $10,000,000 A Year So I got blown up everywhere… from the juicy awesome goodness on a podcast, I did last week! Everyone seemed to want more! So that’s what we’re going to talk about today. This is really really cool stuff. Sometimes it requires a bit of extra work to connect the dots, but if you’re a nerdy learner it’s really interesting stuff. If you haven’t already, listen to the first episode in this series, then come back here! We left off speaking about messaging, so that’s where we’ll pick it back up. There are 4 quadrants to messaging. You want to talk about your company while balancing it with your struggles and weaknesses pair with your strengths and why you are different and your current beliefs and how they’ve changed. Asking a question is always a huge stopping point. It triggers the attention of your listeners and makes you want to watch it. This is a small little tidbit of a hack. We’ll also go over the 4 beliefs on how to serve your customers at such a high level! One other thing we chat about is true change. True change doesn’t come from just the steps. A checklist of steps doesn’t necessarily help. There’s so much more emotional baggage in your head and there are accountability and implementation issues.  There isn’t an information problem, it’s a behavior problem. I have made about $8,000 since starting my business on February 26, 2018

Once again, we find ourselves back in rural Tennessee.  No longer concerned with the Bell Witch, we now face the dreaded White Screamer! *queue ominous music* What was the White Screamer?  Was it a murderous ninja?  A ghost with a penchant for slaughter?  A wildman with a taste for the macabre?  Maybe it was an albino werewolf, slaking its thirst on the townsfolk. Whatever it was, it's creepy and homicidal and LOOK! IT'S OUTSIDE UNDER THE STREETLIGHT!!! www.TheWhatCasters.com Thanks Josh!!

It's a minisode! The Poughkeepsie Tapes may be too scary to contain in one episode, so we teamed up with the Victims and Villains podcast for a great discussion about a really creepy, controversial movie about the details of a serial killer's decade of terror as captured on videotape. NOTE: This was our first Skype capture, so we may sound slightly different at times. We start off with an interview with Josh from Victims and Villains, Chelsea then dives into the background of some notorious snuff films and finally we jump a discussion all about The Poughkeepsie Tapes film!

Part 3 of our Seinfeld vs. Friends mini-challenge. We pick the best episode between the two shows and tackle the toughest question of all, which of these two shows is better? Thanks Josh, we hope to collaborate again soon. 

Hi Listeners! We are thrilled to have co-host Dave back in the studio! He has returned from China and is back in the studio to make us all happy. In the first segment, Ryan and Dave talk about music distribution options for artists and Ryan is thankful for his dear friend Josh's contribution of a brand new BP40 microphone from AudioTechnica. Thanks Josh, you are the best! In the second segment, CD Baby's Director of Marketing Kevin Breuner stops by. He gives great insight into major label life through his experience as a member of the Grammy nominated band Smalltown Poets. He also gives useful advice on how artists can promote themselves. Be sure to check out Kevin's DIY Musician Podcast. It is great! In the final segment, Ryan and Dave debut a new segment, "Dave's Metal Minute," hosted by Metal Dave. Metal Dave is the greatest (Yeeaaaaah!!!). After the Minute Minute, R & D play a very high-stakes game with the Grammys coming up next week. They randomly pick Grammy winners. Whoever picks the fewest winners has to write an ode to the other host that they read on the air. Follow @ryankair and Dave @dkaye1027.
