“I don't give advice to my kids. I lead by example.” – Mark Fujiwara Mark's compass isn't a slogan on a wall—it's lived. Born to a Japanese father and Chinese mother, he grew up between two worlds that both valued humility, presence, & community. ✨Wabi-sabi: embrace the cracks & fill them with gold. ✨Ichigo ichie: the sacredness of one moment. ✨Kaizen: one small improvement, every day. ✨Ikigai: doing work that gives life meaning. Those ideas shaped not just his mindset—but how he leads. In boardrooms, he's the calm in the storm. In life, he's the guy who turns struggle into connection. As a wealth advisor, speaker, & founder of Sanctuary 88, he doesn't preach balance—he models it. He builds spaces where honesty is strength & leadership begins with stillness. Because in a world obsessed with hustle, Mark reminds us that the rarest power is peace. The kind that leads quietly, listens deeply, & lifts everyone in the room. If you've ever needed a reminder that leadership can sound like silence… Connect with Mark through Sanctuary 88 & markfujiwara.com. Lao Tzu said, “To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.” Mark listened.

And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Dmitriy Peregudov, the hardest thing in growing a small business is having the patience and perseverance to push through the early, slow stages while learning things outside your comfort zone. He explains that growth often requires focusing on areas you don't enjoy, making tough decisions, and knowing when to let go and replace yourself in certain roles. Understanding every part of the business—even the ones you're not good at—is essential, because only then can you hire the right people and build a strong foundation for long-term success. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Dmitriy Peregudov's favorite business books include Further, Faster by Bill Flynn, which provides clear frameworks for business growth, and Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh, which inspired him to build a people-first company culture. He also recommends The Five Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom for understanding balance in life and business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Dmitriy recommends the Harvard Business Review (HBR) Podcast for case studies and expert discussions, and Lex Fridman's Podcast for deep, thought-provoking conversations that go beyond business into leadership and innovation. He also appreciates podcasts like Built to Sell Radio for real-world entrepreneurship lessons. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? He highly recommends HubSpot, calling it a game-changer for small businesses. From marketing automation to CRM and workflow management, it helped his team streamline communication, improve sales processes, and enhance customer relationships. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Dmitriy Peregudov, the advice he would give himself on day one of starting out in business is simple yet powerful — “Just do it.” He believes that too many entrepreneurs hesitate, overthink, or wait for the perfect moment, but real growth happens only through action. Taking the first step, learning from mistakes, and adapting along the way are far more valuable than waiting for ideal conditions that may never come.

Hey friend, If you want to live a life you love, knowing your values is a good place to start. If you don't know your values (or you don't follow them) you could feel incomplete; like something's missing, or that you've lost your identity. When I became a mom, my identity shifted to solely being a mom. Everything I did was to contribute to that purpose. And later I'll explain how I fell into a depression because of it - not because of being a mom but because of the mindset I had. In today's episode, we will talk about: what values are and how to determine your own how living by other people's values can cause depression 4 questions to ask yourself to know what truly matters to you how to start living by your values I hope you enjoy today's episode!   Next Steps: I would love for you to submit a 5 Star Review on Apple Podcasts! ❤️ Click on the podcast title below and scroll all the way down to where it says "Ratings & Reviews" and then click the purple text that says "Write a Review".

Renee Troughton: From Lower-Order to Higher-Order Values in Scrum Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "If you, as a senior leader, demonstrate vulnerability, it creates real magic in an organization where others can open up and be their authentic self." Renee defines success for Scrum Masters through deeply human values: integrity, holding her truth, being compassionately authentic, caring, open, honest, listening, and vulnerable. She emphasizes that vulnerability as a senior leader creates transformative magic in organizations, allowing others to bring their authentic selves to work. Drawing on Byron Katie's "Loving What Is" and Frederick Laloux's "Reinventing Organizations," Renee explains that many corporate organizations focus on lower-order values like results and performance, while more autonomous organizations prioritize higher-order values rooted in the heart. When having conversations with people, Renee connects with them as human beings first—not rushing to business if someone is struggling personally. Success means seeing people completely for who they are, not as resources to be changed or leveraged. The foundation for collaboration, empowerment, and autonomy is trust, respect, and safety. Renee emphasizes that without these fundamental values in place, everything else implodes. She demonstrates how vulnerability, active listening, and accepting people where they are creates the fertile ground for successful teams and organizations. Self-reflection Question: Do you demonstrate vulnerability as a leader, creating space for others to bring their authentic selves to work, or do you hide behind a professional facade that prevents genuine human connection? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Themed Retrospectives (Monopoly, Sports, Current Events) "It gave a freshness to it. And it gave almost like a livelihood or a joyfulness to it as an activity as well." Renee recommends themed retrospectives like the Monopoly Retro or sports-themed formats that use current events or cultural references (aka metaphor retrospectives). While working at a consultancy, they would theme retrospectives every week around different topics—football, news events, or various scenarios—using collages of pictures showing different emotions (upset, angry, happy). Team members would identify with feelings and reframe their week within the theme's context, such as "it was a rough game" or "we didn't score enough goals." The brilliance of this approach is covering the same retrospective questions while bringing freshness, creativity, and joyfulness to the activity. These metaphorical formats allow teams to verbalize things that aren't easily expressible in structured formats, triggering different perspectives and creative thinking. The format stays consistent while feeling completely new, maintaining engagement while avoiding retrospective fatigue. [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Values are steering, not slogans—translate one value into a doable 10-minute action and feel the quiet of alignment. Journal prompt: “A value I still trust—and one 10-minute way to live it…”A Flicker (Hope) — Alignment feels quieter When action matches belief, your body often softens. Notice the quiet that follows even a tiny aligned move.To Rebuild (Healing) — Name one value Options: kindness, truth, courage, service, creativity, presence, faithfulness. Write one sentence: “Today I live [value] by [micro-act].”Take a Step (Becoming) — Do the micro-act (≤10 min) Examples:Kindness: write a 3-sentence encouragement to someone struggling.Truth: draft a clear boundary email/text.Service: share a resource, leave water/snacks for tomorrow-you.Creativity: free-write or sketch for 10 minutes.Presence: phone-free walk around the block; notice three colors.Choose-your-energy menu:Hollow (low): Hollow — Sit, place both feet on the floor, and say your value out loud once.Healing (medium): Healing — Do one 10-minute value act; drink a glass of water after.Becoming (higher): Becoming — Put a repeating 10-minute value block on your calendar (M/W/F).Food for Thought Today: Meaning grows where action repeats. Ten honest minutes, practiced regularly, changes the day more than a grand plan you never touch. You're not late—you're here.Exhale. Keep what serves you; leave the rest. I'll be here again tomorrow.

The Bible's most revolutionary concept wasn't monotheism - it was something far more profound. What if the most revolutionary idea in human history wasn't freedom, democracy, or even monotheism — but a single verse from Genesis? This week on Madlik Disruptive Torah, Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz are joined by Dr. Tomer Persico, author of In God's Image: How Western Civilization Was Shaped by a Revolutionary Idea. Together, they explore how the Torah's concept of tzelem Elohim — the image of God — was originally understood not as a metaphor, but as something startlingly literal: humanity as the actual analog of the divine. The conversation also traces how Christianity, more than Judaism, adopted and amplified this idea — translating it into the language of conscience, equality, and individual dignity. Does that history diminish the Jewish claim to tzelem Elohim or, paradoxically, confirm its enduring power? Finally, the discussion turns inward: once God's mind becomes internalized within the human mind, religion itself becomes a human sense — like music or beauty — embedded in the architecture of our consciousness. Studying religion, then, is not just the study of the divine, but the study of what makes us most profoundly human. Dr Tomers Biography Dr. Tomer Persico is a Research Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute, Chief Editor of the 'Challenges of Democracy' book series for the Rubinstein Center at Reichman University, and a Senior Research Scholar at the UC Berkeley Center for Middle Eastern Studies. Persico was the Koret Visiting Assistant Professor at the UC Berkeley Institute for Jewish Law and Israel Studies for three years and has taught for eight years in Tel Aviv University. His fields of expertise include cultural history, the liberal order, Jewish modern identity, Contemporary Spirituality and Jewish fundamentalism. His books include The Jewish Meditative Tradition (Hebrew, Tel Aviv University Press, 2016), Liberalism: its Roots, Values and Crises (Hebrew, Dvir, 2024 and German, NZZ Libro, 2025) and In God's Image: How Western Civilization Was Shaped by a Revolutionary Idea (Hebrew, Yedioth,2021, English, NYU Press,2025). Persico is an activist for freedom of religion in Israel, is frequently interviewed by local and international media and has written hundreds of articles for the legacy media, including Haaretz and the Washington Post. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife Yael and two sons, Ivri and Shilo. Key Takeaways The concept of humans being created in God's image was revolutionary because it applied to everyone, not just rulers or heroes. Taking the idea of God's image literally led to profound implications for human rights and dignity. The "image of God" concept evolved through Christianity and ultimately influenced secularization and the emancipation of the Jews Timestamps [00:00:27] — Opening narration begins: “What if one of the most radical ideas in human intellectual history…” [00:01:42] — Host commentary: Jeffrey connects the “image of God” to the modern idea of dignity and introduces the hope for the hostages. [00:02:34] — Guest introduction: Dr. Tomer Persico is welcomed; he explains his research journey and the origins of his book. [00:05:19] — Defining the radical idea: Persico explains how “in God's image” reframed power, privilege, and ethics in Western culture. [00:07:45] — Literal God debate: Discussion turns to the ancient Israelite belief that God had a visible, bodily form. [00:10:12] — Reframing idolatry: Persico redefines idolatry as failing to see the divine in people, not in statues. [00:14:18] — Birth of human rights: Conversation about Genesis 9:6 and how individuality replaced collective punishment. [00:18:47] — The Christian turn: How Christianity internalized the “image of God” into conscience and reason—laying foundations for science. [00:25:26] — Secular autonomy and modernity: How reverence for human autonomy led to the rise of secularism and liberal rights. [00:31:38] — Closing reflection: The innate “hunch” or instinct toward the sacred—“we do God” naturally—and the episode's farewell prayer for hostages.

Ever reach the end of the day and wonder where the hours went, only to realize you still haven't done what you set out to do? Maybe you got lost in emails, organizing, or helping others while your own priorities slipped away. This disconnect isn't about poor time management; it's a sign of two related challenges: time blindness and values blindness.   Time blindness, common in people with ADHD but experienced by many, happens when your brain loses track of the passage of time. In this episode, I break down how both time and values blindness shape your attention, energy, and sense of alignment. You'll learn practical strategies to regain control using tools from executive functioning, including external reminders, task chunking, and reflection exercises. By noticing where your time and values are going, you can create a life that feels steady, aligned, and purposeful.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/193   Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

This episode features guest hosts Dr. Scott Waltman and Kasey Pierce, authors of the forthcoming book The Rescuer Trap. Scott and Kasey discuss the trouble with mistaking preferences for values. Also, why we can't use sacrificing our values as a bargaining chip, call it a forced wager, and blame the house for our “lost investment” when the relationship goes bust. Are you the fixer, the over-giver, the emotional first responder for everyone but yourself? Welcome to The Rescuer Trap. We playfully own the labels “Parentified and Codependent” to make a point: these are not identities, but learned behaviors.And what can be learned can be unlearned. Hosts Dr. Scott Waltman and Kasey Pierce use Stoic philosophy and CBT to give you the tools to break the cycle and reclaim your autonomy. Your escape from the trap starts here.

A lot of people build firms.Very few sell them.Even fewer?Walk away from it all to start again.But that's exactly what Toussaint Bailey did.After building and selling a $2B RIA, he's back on the founder path, this time leading Uplifting Capital, a values-first platform rethinking what private market investing could look like.In this episode, he sits down with Stacy to discuss: His backstory – How growing up in SoCal shaped his belief in “actionable faith in possibility”Why he left a law partnership to help build an RIAThe cultural ethos that scaled Enso Wealth to $2B AUM and an eventual exitWhy he launched Uplifting Capital and how it's redefining access to values-aligned private marketsA storytelling framework any fund manager can use to stand out (hint: it starts with “we're not that.”)About Toussaint Bailey:Toussaint's career has been built on a belief in the promise of possibility. As Founder and Managing Partner at Uplifting Capital, this belief manifests itself as investment in “Impact Alpha,” funds, and companies that produce compelling financial performance through gap-closing solutions in critical areas like education, healthcare, affordable housing, and renewable energy.  Prior to founding Uplifting Capital, he was CEO and Chairman of Enso Wealth Management, a private wealth firm with a mission to translate wealth into fulfillment for clients and advisors. Toussaint joined Enso shortly after its formation in 2017, overseeing the firm's rapid growth to nearly $2 billion of assets under management and its eventual acquisition.

Do you struggle with feeling like your happiness lives ‘out there' in the future – in the next partner, the next job, the next milestone?  In this episode of the Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a renowned psychiatrist and researcher, to explore the difference between the happiness we chase and the joy we cultivate. Together, we unpack why so many high performers confuse burnout with depression — and how to rediscover a grounded, internally sourced sense of aliveness. Dr. Joseph shares the subtle signs of high-functioning depression, how unprocessed trauma can hide beneath busyness, and practical ways to reconnect with yourself. You'll learn her Five V's framework — Validate, Vent, Values, Vitals, and Vision — plus the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory practice to return to the present moment and healthy ways to release emotion without “trauma dumping.” We also dive into her latest research on joy in the digital age — including why two weeks without a smartphone can lift mood as powerfully as an antidepressant. You'll walk away with simple, science-backed tools to reset your nervous system, protect your mental health, and design your own blueprint for lasting joy and wellbeing.   0:00 – 1:20 Setting the frame: Why we chase happiness externally and how science tallies “points of joy.” 1:20 – 3:40 Joy vs. happiness: cultivating an internal resource for resilience (presence over postponement). 3:40 – 6:20 Burnout or depression? The stigma, the “always on” brain, and signs of high-functioning depression. 6:20 – 8:05 Inner restlessness, anhedonia, and why “I can't relax” persists even away from stressors. 8:05 – 10:15 The 5-4-3-2-1 practice: a sensory ritual to reclaim presence (mindful eating, savoring, connection). 10:15 – 12:05 Make it routine: how predictability settles your nervous system (Dr. Judith's coffee ritual). 12:05 – 14:30 “Pathologically productive:” succeeding on paper, suffering in silence — a 2020 wake-up call. 14:30 – 16:35 Why prevention matters: studying high-functioning depression before a full breakdown. 16:35 – 18:30 Not all trauma is “capital-T”: neglect, scarcity, and the invisible experiences that shape us. 18:30 – 21:05 Scarcity trauma vs. scarcity mindset: epigenetics, inherited behaviors, and overworking on autopilot. 21:05 – 23:00 Distinguishing love of learning from fear-driven achievement; checking the operating system. 23:00 – 25:10 The Five V's (part 1): Validate (name what's true) and Vent (without trauma dumping). 25:10 – 27:00 Healthy venting: emotional consent, reciprocity, journaling, prayer, and crying (90-second waves). 27:00 – 28:40 The Five V's (part 2): Values—prioritizing the priceless over the performative. 28:40 – 30:35 Collective & vicarious trauma: protecting your brain in a 24/7 news cycle. 30:35 – 32:10 RESET method: Realize, Educate, Strategy, Expectations, Thoughtfulness (boundaries with tech). 32:10 – 34:10 Smartphones & joy: why a “flip-phone fortnight” can feel like an antidepressant (more sleep, nature, connection). 34:10 – 35:10 The self-scrutiny trap: always seeing our own face, rising criticism, and lost social joy. 35:10 – 36:30 Digital age sanity: sleep hygiene, light exposure, and device boundaries that restore your brain. 36:30 – 37:35 “Understand the science of your happiness”: mapping your bio-psycho-social fingerprint. 37:35 – 39:00 The Five V's (part 3): Vision—plan your joy and celebrate small wins daily. 39:00 – 40:00 Closing: Joy heals communities; permission to feel good now + where to connect with Dr. Judith.   === Want to go deeper on healing trauma?

Today's episode is a little longer than usual—about 35 minutes—because we're going deep on values. This isn't a surface-level conversation. We're doing the work. So grab a coffee, settle in, and let's talk about holding your line.Most leaders think they know their values.Ask them, and they'll give you the corporate version: "Integrity. Innovation. Excellence. Teamwork."But here's the truth: Those aren't values. Those are words on a wall.Your real values aren't what you say in meetings. They're what you do when no one's watching. What you protect when you're exhausted. What you choose when the cost is high.Want to know your real values?Look at your calendar. Look at your budget. Look at the decisions you made under pressure last month.That's what you actually value.In this week's episode, I'm diving into why most leaders can't name their real values, and why that gap between what they say and what they do is costing them everything.Their credibility. Their team's trust. Their own integrity.Because when you don't know your line, you'll break under pressure every time.Talk to me on my LinkedIn

Why “Love Is Love” Is a Lie Today, there are all kinds of calls for us to love. Love seemingly is the highest ideal, but what if such calls hide darker motives? "Love is Love" sounds sweet—but it's a dangerous lie masking self-seeking feelings as virtue. Discover the Bible's radical agape: self-sacrificial, God-centered love. Looking at C.S. Lewis's The Four Loves and applying Paul's teaching from Romans 12, we see how to build real love, leading to church harmony, a hatred of evil, a community that rejoices or weeps together,and even a people who will bless their enemies.

A Catholic and a Satanist walked into a bar ... and managed to fall in love? During the past two decades, more of us have become non-religious, but we're also increasingly up for dating and marrying across the spiritual divide. So, how do interfaith couples make it work? And what can we learn from them?

Continuing our new series “Kingdom Life”, today Pastor Kuulei teaches What the King says about the values of the kingdom. Values are the beliefs and principles that shape our character.  As Believers, we are called to hold values that are in line with the Kingdom of God.  We'll look at some of those values today!Key Scriptures: Mark 12:30-31 , 1 John 4:7-12; 19-20, Hebrews 11:1,6,  John 14:15, Matthew 4:17, Mark 1:15,  Luke 5:32, 1 John 1:9, Proverbs 10:9, 20:7, 2 Corinthians 8:21, 1 Corinthians 10:31

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Michelle Schafer—a two-time restructuring survivor and career coach—to break down a practical playbook for navigating career transitions without burning out. We cover Michelle's three keys to career fulfillment (work that gives you energy, aligned company values, and non-negotiables), how to initiate effective career-development talks with your manager (even if support feels low), and realistic strategies to stabilize your mindset in a tough job market. If you're facing layoffs, quiet quitting, or decision fatigue, this episode gives you actionable, mental-health-aware steps you can use today.   About the guest  : Michelle Schafer is a career coach with 25+ years across HR, L&D, and community engagement. A two-time restructuring survivor, she's coached nearly 1,000 professionals to pivot into work they actually want, and she's the author of the upcoming Cultivating Career Growth: Navigating Transitions with Purpose (Feb 2025).   Key takeaways: The 3 keys to fulfillment: prioritize work that energizes you, company values that match yours (as demonstrated, not just stated), and personal non-negotiables like location flexibility. Energy is data: consistent end-of-day exhaustion signals misalignment—use it as an early warning to course-correct rather than push harder. Values in practice: assess how an organization shows its values with employees, customers, and partners; misalignment drives tension and disengagement. Own your growth: don't wait for annual reviews—book a 30-minute, stand-alone career conversation with an agenda (what you love, what drains you, where you want to grow, the support you need). When leadership isn't supportive:network internally (coffee chats, org charts, warm intros) and treat resistance as a values signal that it may be time to transition. Quiet quitting/quiet cracking: disengagement is a red flag for both employee and organization; psychologically safe dialogue can re-engage—or confirm it's time to move. Mindset in hard markets: job loss impacts mental health; separate hope from “toxic positivity.” Pair supportive self-talk with action (80% networking, 20% applying). The “Something Plan”: when stuck, do five minutes of something (walk, sunlight, read) to rebuild momentum. Take short, intentional breaks from the search and commit to a restart date to avoid losing traction.   How to connect with the guest  : LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelleschafercoaching/  Website:  https://mschafercoaching.ca/  Free offer #1: A free chapter from Michelle's book - sign up here: https://mschafercoaching.ca/cultivatingcareergrowth/  Order her book Cultivating Career Growth: Navigating Transitions with Purpose here: https://mschafercoaching.ca/cultivatingcareergrowth/  Free offer #2: Download the reflection tool Career Focus Framework here: https://mschafercoaching.ca/gain-clarity-and-confidence-in-your-job-search/  Email her here: michelle@mschafercoaching.ca Book a complimentary 30 min discovery call with Michelle here: https://calendly.com/coaching-with-michelle-schafer   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Brett Gilliland, founder of Elite Entrepreneurs, joins Greg to discuss how they help ambitious founders navigate the tough leadership journey from $1M to $10M in revenue. Brett shares how co-creating a clear, practical Purpose, Values, and Mission form the foundation of scalable organizations. He explains why moving from founder-led chaos to aligned leadership teams is the critical step that separates $1M experiments from $10M companies. With clear meeting rhythms, disciplined execution, and strong hiring practices, Elite Entrepreneurs has helped hundreds of founders become happy CEOs and build companies that run without constant founder involvement. Brett reveals the personal transformation required for founders to evolve into true CEOs who can enjoy their business more as it grows. You can reduce chaos, scale your teams, and rediscover the fun of running your business once you shift focus from “I” to “we.” Key Takeaways Growth Brings Freedom: Founders who learn let go in the right way often rediscover fun, profit, and time. Leadership Teams Required: Scaling past $3M–$10M depends on building a capable senior leadership team.  Meeting Rhythms Drive Scale: Annual, quarterly, monthly, and weekly cadences keep teams aligned. CEO Core Roles: Set the vision, build the team, and secure resources—everything else gets delegated. Hiring as Marketing: Culture-fueled job postings act like a “bat signal” for the right candidates. This Interview Is Perfect For SaaS founders at $1–5M in ARR Business owners feeling “stuck” at their current stage CEOs ready to build their first real leadership team Entrepreneurs who want growth and a life Quote from Brett Gilliland, founder of Elite Entrepreneurs “All of us get stuck in some way.
