Send us a textRedefining "High-Value": A Q&A with Spencer ChristianEpisode Description:"Forget the six-figure salary – what truly defines a 'high-value' man in today's world? In this special Q&A episode of the Self-Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon sits down with legendary journalist Spencer Christian for a candid and thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional wisdom.Drawing upon his decades of experience and his own profound insights into human nature, Spencer offers a refreshing perspective on masculinity in the 21st century. He eloquently argues that while financial stability can play a role, it should not be the sole determinant of a man's worth. Instead, he emphasizes the crucial role of emotional intelligence, empathy, and integrity in building meaningful relationships.Spencer tackles head-on the societal pressures faced by young men to conform to traditional notions of masculinity, often prioritizing material success over emotional well-being and genuine human connection. He encourages listeners to prioritize personal growth, cultivate strong ethical principles, and embrace a more holistic definition of success that values emotional intelligence, empathy, and a commitment to personal and collective well-being.This is a must-listen episode for anyone seeking to re-evaluate their own values and to cultivate a more authentic and fulfilling life. Spencer's insightful reflections challenge listeners to break free from societal expectations and embrace a more nuanced understanding of masculinity, one that celebrates emotional intelligence, integrity, and the power of genuine human connection.Prepare to be challenged, inspired, and empowered to redefine "high-value" on your own terms.Support the show

Self-Actualization is the realization or fulfillment of one's talents and potentialities. “In any given moment we have two options: To step forward into growth or step back into safety.” Abraham Maslow A (Realistic) Guide to Becoming Self-Actualized  Music-"Homesick" Copyright 2018. Written by Shireen Amini. Produced by Shireen Amini and Mike Davidson of Plaid Dog Recording (Boston, MA).

In this episode, Steve and I are in a real-life scenario that could've turned into a full-blown issue—if we didn't have the tools we do. And honestly? The “problem” wasn't even real. It was one I'd made up in my head.Here's how it went down: I was feeling off with Steve. Frustrated, withholding love, and just carrying this low-level resentment. Add in a bit of LOL - I hadn't actually communicated my needs to him. Not once. Instead, I expected him to read my mind, know what I needed, and magically fix it. Spoiler alert: he didn't, and I got annoyed at him for it.This is where one of our tools came into play: “Is there something we need to clear?” It's a simple question, but it creates a space for honesty, connection, and truth. So, we used it, live on the podcast. I shared what was going on in my head, openly and vulnerably, even though it wasn't pretty.I admitted that I'd been expecting him to guess my needs and that my frustration wasn't about him—it was about me not expressing myself. Just saying it out loud shifted everything. The heaviness lifted, and I landed back in my heart.Steve, being the legend he is, listened without getting defensive. We talked it out, and by the end, what could've turned into a massive disconnect became a moment of deeper understanding.This episode is for anyone who's ever let an unspoken expectation create tension in their relationship. We share how to use this tool to clear the air and stay connected, even when things get messy. Because the truth is, your partner isn't a mind reader, and you can't hold them accountable for needs you don't express.Give it a listen—it's a game-changer. And as always, we'd love to hear your thoughts and how this lands for you.

What if someone unwittingly ate forbidden food with the intention of serving Hashem—and even used the energy derived from that food to fuel their Torah study and prayer? Can this energy rise to holiness and become clothed within the words of Torah and prayer?The vitality within forbidden foods is intrinsically tied to the three completely impure kelipot, meaning it cannot be elevated to holiness, no matter how pure one's intentions. This reflects the Torah's definition of assur—“tied up”—an objective reality that renders these foods inherently bound to impurity.Permissible foods, by contrast, draw their vitality from kelipat nogah and can be elevated to holiness when approached with proper intent. However, indulging in them solely for self-gratification temporarily drags them into impurity, leaving a lasting imprint even after a person realigns themselves with holiness. This residual impurity requires chibut hakever, the “beating of the grave,” to divest the body of its attachment to worldly pleasures.

In Organize 365® we say “Resources are not limited, they are limitless. Through collaboration, Organize 365® connects the right people and resources for maximum benefit and sustainability.” We know there is enough for everyone and growing up that is what I saw. I guess it's true when it comes to our kids, more is caught than what is taught.  Abundance through the eyes of a child Knowing what I know now I could have probably figured out that our family was not rich. But I never felt it as a child. We had what we needed and we got to participate in extra-curricular activities. I watched my mother work her business. I watched my dad ”get recruited” by his friends to be a sales person for them. And when they sold the company to their sons, the sons added my dad as one of their partners because they knew he was valuable and consistently brought in a lot of new sales. It was then we had extra money.  But my dad was good at managing the money so that our family and the company had enough money even in times of lack. As a kid I always felt that we had enough resiliency and ability to overcome lack.  Abundant Energy Our desires and plans don't always play out the way we want or think, but with an Abundance Mindset, they will come to be. I wanted to be a mother so bad. I had an abundant mindset and had to embrace the opportunity that adoption would provide, which was me becoming a mother. We had situations come our way through the adoption process. I could have clung to each one and thought this is my one opportunity I have to take it! But, I knew that I would be a mother, I just didn't know how. I was open minded. What is going to be will be and I knew at the end of all of it, I would be a mother! An abundance frequency attracts abundance. Everything is just energy. I gave multiple examples of it in this episode because I see so much abundance in my life. I'm not trying to brag, I want you to see it's there for you too. The Pie Factory You are only in competition with yourself. There is only one you with your unique skill set. Imagine a pie factory and they are just spitting out pies regularly. You don't get just one slice. You don't have to share a pie with anyone. You can have as much pie as you want.

Hugh has zero background in recruiting but extensive experience in agriculture. How did he leverage his industry knowledge and establish a recruitment firm that rapidly grew in five years?   You will most certainly enjoy learning about his mindset, strategies, and how he overcame several roadblocks when he founded Cultura Connect, a company specializing in recruitment within the agriculture, food, and forestry sectors.   Since its inception, the business has experienced rapid growth. They're now a team of 13 with extensive knowledge and experience in agriculture and related fields.   Hugh is passionate about nurturing and developing talent in the agricultural, food, and forestry industries, leveraging his experience and unique insight into the challenges of building effective teams.   Episode Outline and Highlights   [02:11] Hugh's background in the agricultural industry and recruitment. [11:30] Key stages in building Cultura Connect. [20:15] Overcoming the challenges of building your internal team. [26:58] Roadblocks and solutions that Hugh and his team have encountered in a remote setup. [38:42] Taking time to overcome other challenges in a new recruitment business. [44:41] Discussion on Cashflow Metrics and KPIs. [48:31] Hugh's absolute keys to success. [51:48] Minimum standards that Hugh looks for members of his team. [54:28] Branding and marketing strategies.   Industry Knowledge is a Key Differentiator in Niche Recruitment   Hugh's story shows how deep industry expertise can become a recruitment agency's strongest differentiator. His agricultural background became a powerful business advantage, enabling Cultura Connect's rapid growth. His background in agriculture and tech became a critical differentiator in successfully bridging the gap between agricultural expertise and talent acquisition.    Focusing on his strengths and leveraging his background gave him the following advantages:   Niche credibility due to his agriculture experience. Accurate candidate assessments. Extensive network. A clear understanding of his client's needs. Understanding of innovation and upcoming trends (ex. AgriTech).   Leveraging your field background and experience as a recruiter can be an invaluable key factor in your success when launching your recruitment business.   Choosing the Right People is the Main Key to Success   What Hugh and his business partner have accomplished in the past 5 years is phenomenal. Since its inception, the business has experienced rapid growth with now a team of 13! When I asked him to summarize his absolute key factors to success, he mentioned:    “Getting the right people, people that really understand the industry. That's allowed us to be seen as the Agricultural specialist, the forestry specialist, food specialist. Because we've got that team of individuals, all those individuals are passionate about that. They're passionate about doing a good job, they're committed and I guess ultimately they fit with our culture. So people will be one of the key things for us.”   Ironically, building an internal team can be challenging for recruitment business owners. Hiring the wrong person can reduce growth, profit, and cash flow. Hugh focuses on minimum brand values when identifying someone who will be part of their team. Some of these are:   Passion for the Industry Compassion Resilience Team Orientation Integrity Proactivity Quality over Quantity   These values highlight Hugh's emphasis on creating a team that is not only skilled but also aligned with Cultura Connect's cultural and ethical requirements.   Best Practices in Remote Team Management   Hugh also shared pragmatic approaches to managing a remote team. Cultura Connect's approach to remote work is a great example of maintaining team performance and culture without a physical office. Their success stems from a deliberate balance of virtual and in-person connections. However, there are critical elements and cadences that are present: Team rhythm: 6-weekly in-person work sessions combined with weekly virtual meetings Quarterly activities: Structured team-building events (from hiking to canoeing) Strategic onboarding: Initial 3-4 days in-person with ongoing mentorship Flexible workspaces: Supporting team members who prefer occasional office settings The model enables growth while reducing overhead costs, demonstrating how remote-first can strengthen rather than compromise recruitment operations. Hugh Pocock Bio & Contact Info   Hugh Pocock is the Founding Director of a recruitment business, Cultura Connect - specializing in recruitment for agriculture, food, and forestry sectors. The business was founded in 2020, with his business partner Tom Marsh, where they have successfully combined Hugh's 20+ years of experience in agribusiness with Tom's 20+ years of experience in recruitment. The business has grown rapidly since its inception with the development of a team of recruitment experts with in-depth knowledge and experience in agriculture and related sectors.   Born and raised on his grandparent's dairy farm in Shropshire, a passion for agriculture was formed from Hugh's early years. Heavily involved in Holstein Young Breeders in his youth, then going on to graduate with a degree from Harper Adams, Hugh pursued a career in cattle genetics and gained over 15 years of experience in a variety of high-level commercial roles.  In 2016 Hugh signed a farm tenancy, with his wife and two children, on a 100% grass-based 150 acre farm near Whitchurch, Shropshire. Here they farm New Zealand Romney sheep, Polled Dorset Sheep and Wagyu cattle. Sustainability and working closely with nature is their farming philosophy, managing the farm with multiple environmental stewardship initiatives.  Hugh is passionate about nurturing and developing talent in the agricultural, food, and forestry industries, and having the opportunity to work with a multitude of businesses across these sectors gives him a unique insight into the challenges of building and retaining high-performing teams.   Hugh on LinkedIn Cultura Connect website link Cultura Connect on Instagram   People and Resources Mentioned    Matt Walsh on LinkedIn Tom Marsh on LinkedIn Overdue Invoices?

Podcast Summary and Show Notes Podcast Title: Growth Beyond BoundariesEpisode Title: Episode 23: Finding Your Compass: Values in Leadership and LifeRelease Date: January 10, 2025Hosts: Andy Huckaba with Phyllis Collins and Teresa Schwab Summary In this episode of the Growth Beyond Boundaries podcast, Andy, Phyllis, and Teresa delve into the pivotal role values play in personal and organizational growth. The conversation begins by contrasting resolutions, which focus on goals, with values, which define who we aspire to be. They explore the complexities of identifying, understanding, and living by core values, emphasizing their importance in decision-making and leadership. The discussion highlights the tension between personal values and organizational standards, the challenges of competing values, and the significance of stated versus unstated values in workplace culture. Using metaphors like the compass, the hosts explain how values serve as a guide, particularly in challenging situations, and offer strategies for listeners to identify and align with their values. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own values, consider how these impact their decisions, and embrace values as a continuous journey of self-discovery. Key Takeaways Understanding Values: Values represent what we care about most and are often non-negotiable. They are shaped by upbringing, cultural influences, and personal experiences. Values are distinct from strengths and needs, though they can overlap. Living by Values: Values need to be stated, understood, and lived. Alignment with values brings clarity and fulfillment; misalignment can cause unease. Competing Values: Decision-making often involves navigating between competing values. Open discussions and a transparent process help leaders resolve conflicts effectively. Organizational Values: Stated values on walls often differ from lived values in culture. Leaders should ensure organizational values align with actions at all levels. Personal Reflections: Reflect on past challenges to uncover deeply held values. Recognize triggers and discomfort as signals of values being tested. Practical Exercises Discover Your Values: Reflect on three challenging moments in your life and ask: What guided my decisions during those times? What did I care about most in those situations? Daily Observations: Notice: What activities or people energize you? What values do they reflect? Cultural Alignment Check: Evaluate your organization's culture: Are the stated values aligned with everyday actions? How do unstated norms influence decisions? Recommended Resources Books: Lead Bigger: The Transformative Power of Inclusion  by Ann Chow (focus on simplifying values into being stated, understood, and lived). https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Lead-Bigger/Anne-Chow/9781668024003 Frameworks: Robert Kegan's Immunity to Change: Explores the impact of competing values. https://a.co/d/4hQWQPm Related Podcasts: Coaching for Leaders featuring Ann Chow. https://coachingforleaders.com/podcast/clarifying-values-workplace-people-love-anne-chow/ Quotes to Remember “Values are your compass—when something feels off, it's time to realign.” – Teresa Schwab “Your choices reflect your values; they show what matters most to you.” – Andy “Living with integrity means aligning actions with values, even when it's hard.” – Phyllis Collins Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): ⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/fourth-dogma/blue-garland⁠ License code: 1AF9FYKW2TNQNGG1

This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I'm joined by Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni, co-hosts of the Frugal Friends podcast and authors of Buy What You Love Without Going Broke. We dive into the true meaning of frugality, breaking away from the common perception of it being about deprivation or cheapness. Instead, Jen and Jill frame frugality as intentional, value-driven spending that supports your goals and priorities. They share insights on understanding spending habits, using a 90-day transaction inventory to uncover patterns, and how dopamine fasting can reprogram spending behaviors. Tune in for practical tips and strategies to help you spend with purpose, align your money with what truly matters, and find joy on your path to financial freedom. In this episode you'll learn:  That frugality is not about wanting less but wanting different and embracing the desire for big things in life. It's about good stewardship of all resources. The need for flexibility and fluidity in spending decisions, especially during different life stages.  How a no spend challenge can be a way to pause non-essential spending and give the brain space to ask important questions about spending behaviors.  How to align spending with deeper values such as faith, family, friends, and fulfilling work.

QUICK LINKS: Goal Setting Workbook Goal Setting Workshop Making Art Work My Instagram   Episode Highlights: Today's episode is packed with meaning and purpose—we're diving deep into your core values!

This isn't just about setting goals; it's about aligning them with your heart and your vision for life.

Ally Sentnor grew up playing multiple sports, but soccer held a special place because on Saturday morning, soccer was always followed by Dunkin Donuts! By age 11, she committed to the sport itself and looked for every opportunity to improve. When it came time to choose a college program, she picked UNC not necessarily because it was the best soccer program and would make her the best player but because UNC would make her the best person given the focus on core values and building a culture of excellence through discomfort and chosen adversity. Ironically, sustaining a serious injury and navigating the psychological challenges she didn't expect allowed her the opportunity to grow even more. By meeting with a sports psychologist and learning to better communicate her feelings, she gained a deeper appreciation for the concept of resilience, which was the core value she initially identified with. Her successes include 2019 Sports Illustrated Sports Kid of the year, , NCAA All-American, FIFA World Cup Bronze Medalist,  US National team member since age 14 and 2024 First Overall pick NWSL draft. Through it all, she understands that being true to your values is the secret to increase motivation, satisfaction, happiness and ultimately success. @allysentnor

Many of us think of spending as something you just... do. You make money, and spend it. But in fact, spending isn't something that just happens. It's a skill. It's a practice that you can refine over time and use as a tool to make your life as beauitful and valuable as it can be. One of the most important components of learning the skill of spending is aligning your spending with your values and highest priorities - something refered to as values based spending. It's entirely possible to be financially responsible, hit all your financial goals, and to buy what you love without going broke.   On this week's episode of The Money Love Podcast I'm talking with my friend and the Co-Host of The Frugal Friends podcast, Jen Smith. Jen and I discuss why it's imperitive to think of spending as a skill, why frugality isn't something to resist but rather embrace, how our desires and problems are manufactured by modern day marketing, and why quality over quantity with your spending is the secret to financial success.

“It's all about people management,” says today's guest Kristina Lawson, drawing parallels between her time as the former mayor of Walnut Creek, CA to her current role as managing partner at Hanson Bridgett LLP, a mid-sized firm which like Kristina, whose practice was in real estate and land use, has a deep connection and dedication to California and its communities. This values-based California law firm's equity partners comprise nearly 40 percent women—virtually unheard of in the AmLaw 200—which reflects its pioneering and foundational policies of diversity, equity and inclusion. On today's episode of The Future is Bright, Kristina discusses the firm's guiding principles, their agile workforce policy that pre-dated the Covid 19 pandemic, and its exemplary approach to transitioning power to the next generation.  The key, Kristina explains, is a willingness to adapt to new working styles, seeing them as opportunities for growth rather than points of criticism. She also discusses the biggest threat to the business of law, the crucial piece of work culture she feels was lost to Covid, and how Hanson Bridgett LLP is navigating the advent of AI. Join today's discussion to learn more about Kristina and Hanson Bridgett LLP's shared guiding principle of putting people first, and the number one issue that keeps her up at night.  Quotes “It's helpful to check back in, both to ground me and the reasons I joined Hanson Bridgett and what Hanson Bridgett's all about, and again also to check in on those promises I made to our partnership about the direction we'd head in with me at the helm.” (7:32 | Kristina Lawson) “Being the mayor of a mid-sized town and the managing partner of a mid-sized firm, there's a lot of consensus-building and it's all about people management. Whether it's constituent management as the mayor or managing the other members of the city council…it's all about figuring out where those consensus positions are and building trusted relationships, even with people that you don't agree with, on key issues, so that you can continue to move forward. Those are really the same issues we have here at our partnership.” (8:20 | Kristina Lawson) “We need to adapt to where they're at. Just because they're doing something differently, does not mean they're doing it wrong.” (15:47 | Kristina Lawson) “Founded by a group who really believed in diversity, equity and inclusion and values-based lawyering before it was a thing…One of the reasons I joined Hanson Bridgett was the firm has an equity partnership which is made up of just about 40 percent women.” (18:57 | Kristina Lawson) “The number one thing that keeps me up at night is worrying about whether our people are well and whether we can improve their mental health and wellness as an organization.” (22:22 | Kristina Lawson) Links Connect with Kristina Lawson: LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/klawson/ Firm Website Bio: https://www.hansonbridgett.com/Our-Attorneys/kristina-d-lawson   Connect with Howard Rosenberg: LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hrosenberg/ Company web profile: https://www.baretzbrunelle.com/howard-rosenberg   Connect with Chris Batz: LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbatz/  LinkedIn Company page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/columbus-street/ Columbus Street website: https://www.columbus-street.com/  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
