Each time we decide which history gets a full unit and which gets a mini-lesson… Each time we choose whose stories to showcase in classroom libraries while others gather dust on shelves … Each time we select which family structures and cultures to represent in class and which we quietly pretend don't exist … We're teaching whose voices matter, what counts as normal, and how power works. That's the hidden curriculum. And it's been operating in classrooms since the first schools were founded. This episode is about uncovering the hidden curriculum in your own teaching, so you can make conscious choices about the values you're reinforcing. And, it's about empowering public schools to be unapologetic in their stance about a core piece of the hidden curriculum that should be underlying our work: Every child who walks into our classrooms deserves to see themselves reflected there, to have their existence treated as welcome, and to leave knowing their life has inherent value. This episode is a call to remain steadfast in your commitment to care for (and be actively inclusive of) all families in your school community. We need to proudly own our commitment to teaching kids empathy, curiosity, and the ability to understand–and collaborate with–people who are different from them. This episode is a rebuke of a coordinated attempt to paint these values as controversial, "political" or "a radical left wing agenda." They are not. They are educational best practices, backed by long-standing research, that teachers have implemented for decades in schools across the country. It's time to stop playing defense and speak plainly about how we do what's best for kids. Get the shareable article/transcript for this episode here.

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
What do you want to be known for? One thing we want to be known for is this podcast. 300 episodes in, we are committed to offering fresh perspectives and value as healing medicine for our listeners as well as conversations that help to heal the culture of medicine. When we ask the question, "What do we want to be known for?" it becomes a decision-making filter, a boundary-setting tool, and a compass for alignment—helping us lead with love and live closer to our true selves. In this episode, we explore: How "default identities" form in medicine (often unintentionally) The cost of being known for something that no longer, or never fit How to use the question "what I want to be known for" as a values-based filter Pearls of Wisdom Default identities form through repetition, people-pleasing, and conditioning—not always conscious choice. Naming what you don't want to be known for helps refine what matters. Values like authenticity, compassion, and love support intentional leadership. There's no urgency for a perfect answer—clarity can emerge slowly. Reflection Questions What are you currently known for? Did you choose this, or did it just happen? Where does your current identity feel true? Where does it feel heavy or misaligned? What's one small step you can take toward being known for what really matters to you?

Grace Under Fire – Free Live Series https://subscribepage.io/GraceUnderFire It’s Time To Cross the Threshold Meet Your Power Differently and Ride the Fire Horse Does it feel like life is pushing you harder than usual? Are you being pulled in a thousand directions by the people you care about? Are you questioning who you are and where you’re going? The way you’ve been living is not sustainable. You are not burned out because you're weak. You're tired because you're carrying intensity that your old tools were never designed to hold. More is being asked of us than ever before. More responsibility. More emotional labor. More truth. More fire. And now, the temperature is rising even higher with the Fire Horse entering on February 17, 2026. Every 60 years, the Fire Horse brings transformative yang energy that either purifies or overwhelms. The last Fire Horse was 1966 – a year that brought massive cultural shifts, breakthroughs in consciousness, and radical change. Astrologically, this means that the pressure is building and it’s likely to get more intense in 2026 than it already has been. You don’t have to know a lot about astrology to see for yourself that the old strategies of numbing, pushing, or self-improvement will not work anymore to get you through this. You’re being invited to cross a threshold that will change how you meet life’s challenges. Ride the Fire Horse – 30-day Experience of Inner Medicine Community https://subscribepage.io/RideTheFireHorse ABOUT AKEEM SAMI Akeem brings his lifetime of martial arts mastery as a 6th degree black belt to Inner Medicine Community, as well as his training as a pranic and advanced shamanic healer, offering rich insights about mastering self.

John and Elizabeth McCormick continue their conversation. They talk about building a speaking business, the P.I.L.O.T. (Potential, Implementation, Leadership, Optimal Performance, and Tenacity) Method for growth, and how stories and experiences help connect with audiences. In the previous episode, Elizabeth discussed her journey from the U.S. Army to becoming a speaker, the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field, and the mindset it took to never quit when everyone else doubted her.

"Coaching and mentoring are not the same thing. A mentor can tell people what to do. A coach shouldn't be telling you. Instead, they should ask, 'Well, what do you think you should do?' and help you discover the answers within you. That's coaching." "Self care is not selfish. As a leader, we have to lead by example, and that means taking care of yourself by showing up as your best for your work, yourself, and your family. So that you can be there for them and do more with the gifts you have." "Being tenacious is showing up when it's hard. It's not giving up. It's bringing your best self to everything you have, no matter what's going on around you." "Selling is serving because we are serving these potential clients. If we're not serving them, they're going to feel sold to. Nobody wants to feel that way. But if I'm serving them, that means I'm helping them, and they never feel sold to." "Values and relevancy are just as important as the solution." "Adult learners learn best from emotion-provoking stories and thought-provoking questions." "Be in your potential zone, not a comfort zone, because that's where growth happens." "It doesn't do any good to believe in yourself, believe in your potential, or be in a potential zone if you don't do something with it. You'll squander the opportunities. So it's about taking action and being more effective in the things you do." BOOK MENTIONED: The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth by John C.

Integrity is when your ________________ matches your ________________. [Psalm 15:1-5] Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill? [2] Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts. [3] Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends. [4] Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the Lord, and keep their promises even when it hurts. [5] Those who lend money without charging interest, and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent. Such people will stand firm forever. The opposite of integrity is ________________. [Matthew 23:25-28] “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence! [26] You blind Pharisee! First wash the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside will become clean, too. [27] “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people's bones and all sorts of impurity. [28] Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness. If you __________ integrity, nothing else matters. If you __________ __________ integrity, nothing else matters. [Joshua 6:18-19] “Do not take any of the things set apart for destruction, or you yourselves will be completely destroyed, and you will bring trouble on the camp of Israel. [19] Everything made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron is sacred to the Lord and must be brought into his treasury.” [Joshua 7:13] “Get up! Command the people to purify themselves in preparation for tomorrow. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Hidden among you, O Israel, are things set apart for the Lord. You will never defeat your enemies until you remove these things from among you. Get to know Jesus personally and ________________ to those you have cheated. [Matthew 5:37 CSB] But let your ‘yes' mean ‘yes,' and your ‘no' mean ‘no.' Anything more than this is from the evil one. Say what you ____________ and mean what you __________. [Proverbs 28:6 CSB] Better the poor person who lives with integrity than the rich one who distorts right and wrong.

How do you know whether your company's culture is happening by accident or being intentionally designed? That's the challenge we explore in this episode of Do Good to Lead Well, as I sit down with culture architects James D. White and Krista White, co-authors of the USA Today bestseller “Culture Design.”James and Krista share why now, more than ever, leaders can't afford to leave culture to chance. Their advice springs from decades of practical experience: culture isn't a poster on the wall—it's what people do when no one is looking.In a thought-provoking and engaging conversation, they answer timely questions from the audience including: How do you diagnose the real health of your culture? Can values become more than just “word salad?” What about the unique pressures of remote work, generational differences, or legacy cultures stuck in old patterns?Through stories and concrete examples, James and Krista reveal what organizations can actually do. They talk about running “archaeological digs” through interviews and surveys, turning employee feedback into actionable strategy, and the power of empathy. They explain how and why leaders should “listen with heart,” make time for micro-moments of connection, and value small steps over perfection.Perhaps the most powerful takeaway is that designing culture is ongoing work. It's about ensuring that how you operate matches what you say you value and having the courage to change, with empathy, when your organization needs it most.What You'll Learn- Culture is always there – whether you design it or not.- The importance of closing the “say-do” gap.- Empathy is a leadership superpower.- How to design your culture for both stability and change.- Why you want your values to be actionable and personal.- The key role of middle managers in fostering culture.- Honor the past, but don't cling to it.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) - The Inspiration and Meaning Behind "Culture Design"(05:47) - Intentional Culture: Design vs. Default(07:17) - Diagnosing Organizational Culture(16:00) - The Future Back Approach in Leadership(18:37) - Values: From Performative to Impactful(22:21) - Organizational vs. Individual Resilience(25:47) - Empathy as a Leadership Foundation(33:00) - Generational and Hybrid Workforce Dynamics(43:37) - Measuring, Supporting, and Sustaining Culture ChangeKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Culture Design, Organizational Culture, Empathy, Resilience, Values, Change Management, Transformational Leadership, Inclusion, Organizational Stability, Leading with Integrity, Rituals, Future-back Methodology, Cross-generational Workforce, Remote Work, Hybrid work, Employee Engagement, AI adoption, Feedback Loops, Legacy Culture, CEO Success

Lawyers have always relied on tools—but AI is different. It doesn't just assist with tasks; it makes decisions, applies judgment, and shapes outcomes. In episode #602 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Damien Riehl about what ethical responsibility looks like when AI starts doing legal work on its own. Their conversation examines how AI systems embed values, why verification matters more than transparency, and how lawyers can responsibly use tools they don't fully understand. They also explore what legal expertise looks like in an AI-powered future—and why intuition, trust, and integrity may matter more than ever as machines take over the “widgets” of legal work.

The past week felt like it stayed with me longer than I expected. After getting back from New York and everything surrounding my Aunt Ronnie's service, I noticed I was still sitting with that feeling of surrender I talked about in the last episode. There were so many moving parts with the travel and the weather, and even though everything worked out, I could feel how tired I was from trying to hold it all together. What helped was coming back, again and again, to what I could actually control, and letting the rest be what it was. As I was settling back into my routine, I started thinking about alignment and how I find my footing when things feel uncertain. I'm always learning, always taking something new in, and recently I started a course on the Celtic Wheel of the Year. On the very first call, we were invited to look at our values, and I'll be honest, I didn't think much would come up. As I sat with it, I realized some of my values have changed because I've changed. That clarity felt grounding in a way I didn't expect. On today's Wise Walk, I invite you to slow down and spend some time with the values that are guiding you right now, and notice how they may be shaping the way you're moving through this season of your life. What values feel most important to you right now, whether that's your top ten or just a few that truly stand out? What qualities do you most admire in others, and how do those reflect the values you hold? Which values are guiding you in this present moment, especially as you move through uncertainty or challenge? How are these values helping you envision the person you are becoming? What values feel connected to who you are right now and who you want to be moving forward? How do these values shape your choices, actions, and daily habits? In what ways do your values act as motivators that help you go after what matters most to you? How are your values showing up in your life right now, both in visible and subtle ways? How can your values serve as living guides that support your highest and best self? How do your values define you when you are at your best? How do your values influence the way you show up in relationships with others? How can you honor shared values in your relationships while allowing space for others to live those values in their own way? Where might greater clarity around your values help you communicate boundaries or make agreements with others? How can you create more alignment and mutual respect in your relationships by naming what truly matters to you? How can you apply your values awareness to your career or daily work? Are there areas in your career or relationships where something feels off or out of alignment? When you notice imbalance or discomfort, how can you return to your values as a compass to guide your next choice or action? I'd love to hear what values are guiding you right now. Whether it's your top ten or just one or two that feel especially alive for you, notice how you're holding space for them in this season and how they're shaping the choices you're making. Thank you so much for being here and for showing up with such openness and self-awareness. I'll meet you back here next Thursday for our Wise Walk, and until then, prioritize fun, read the signs, trust your path, and get your Stride On. In this episode: [03:23] How the Celtic Wheel of the Year is just another opportunity for us to align with the universe, seasons, and the flow of nature. [04:26] As I defined my values, I realized that over time some of them have shifted. Knowing your values serves as a living guide for all of us. [06:12] As I went on my own Wise Walk, I realized that focusing on my values was more difficult than I thought. It took me a while to target my top 10. [07:02] Kindness is a fallback value for me. I also love being of service to others. Love and gratitude are very connected, but I honed in on love. [08:16] Other big ones for me include learning and growth, adventure in nature, and openness. Balance and freedom were also very important to me. [09:16] I also wanted to show up authentically as myself. Health is also a priority and part of my top 10. [11:20] My top 10 are kindness, service, love, learning, adventure in nature, openness, balance, freedom, authenticity, and health. [13:10] One of my values is health. This is also the value of many of my friends, but the way health shows up is unique for each of us. [15:48] I was speaking with a client about career values and growth. They've now admitted that this isn't a value that they're passionate about anymore. [16:55] They now have a career value of stability. Getting clear on this was very powerful. [18:24] Identifying my values as a living guide is going to increase my decision making and help me feel more aligned with my choices. [19:02] This exercise will also help reduce internal conflict or conflict with others.

Summary of How to scale a world class culture in your franchise: Want to know how to franchise a business and maintain world-class culture across thousands of locations? Discover the exact franchise growth strategies that took Anytime Fitness from a single 24-hour gym concept to the #1 fitness franchise in the world—with over 4,000 employees sporting brand tattoos (and they're not even corporate employees). In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, John DiJulius interviews Dave Mortensen, co-founder of Purpose Brands—the largest portfolio of fitness, nutrition, and wellness franchise brands generating $3.7 billion in combined revenue across 7,000 locations in 50 countries. If you're a franchisor struggling with culture consistency, a business owner wondering if franchising is right for you, or a multi-unit franchise operator looking to scale, this conversation reveals the counterintuitive secrets behind building a franchise system so powerful that franchisees' employees willingly get brand tattoos. What You'll Learn: The "Fanchise" model: How to turn franchisees into fans who are emotionally invested in your brand's mission (not just the ROI)—the framework from Dave's new bestselling book Fanchise Your Franchise The 5-location rule: Why you should NEVER start franchising until you've proven the concept across multiple company-owned locations (Dave and Chuck owned/flipped 5 gyms before franchising) The franchise validation process: How rigorous franchisee selection prevents 99% of future culture problems—"We want franchisees who want to change lives, not just make money" Scalable culture systems: The exact playbooks, standards, and training that allow 7,000 locations to deliver consistent experiences without Dave being present The PLEASE standards: How borrowing customer experience frameworks from consultants like John DiJulius transformed their service culture into an actionable system The tattoo test: When 4,000+ people tattoo your brand on their bodies by choice, you've transcended transactional franchising—here's how to create that level of loyalty Dave Mortensen's Franchise Journey: Phase 1: The Consultant Era (Early Career) Started in fitness at 21, dropped out of college, worked his way up Met business partner Chuck Runyon on similar trajectory Started consulting firm helping gym owners with operations, sales, and member experience Traveled across US, Canada, Australia, Mexico working with big box and boutique gyms Key insight: "People were passionate about fitness but didn't know how to run the business—Chuck and I could drive results AND write it down" Phase 2: The Operator Era (1995-2002) Bought first gym in 1995—the same gym where Dave worked front desk for $4/hour Grew it from 400 to 4,000 members, then sold it Started buying, remodeling, and flipping gyms successfully Owned 5 locations simultaneously at peak Key insight: "We said we need to start SHOWING people we know how to do it, not just telling them" Phase 3: The Franchise Era (2002-Present) Opened first Anytime Fitness in 2002 with revolutionary 24/7 model Kept consulting firm and big box gym for 3 years, then sold everything to focus on Anytime Sold franchise #1 to a member who believed in the concept Today: Co-founder of Purpose Brands with 9 franchise brands across 50 countries Key insight: "We didn't just franchise a business model—we franchised a mission to change lives" The Purpose Brands Portfolio: 9 Franchise Brands Under One Umbrella: Anytime Fitness (World's #1 fitness franchise) Orangetheory Fitness The Bar Method Waxing the City Base Camp Fitness SUMHIIT Fitness Stronger U Nutrition Healthy Contributions Provision Security Total System Stats: $3.7 billion combined revenue 7,000+ locations 50 countries 6 million members served 4,000+ brand tattoos (just Anytime Fitness) The Franchise Culture Paradox Explained: The Problem Most Franchisors Face: "I opened my salon 33 years ago and we were great at customer service because 50% of our staff was me and my wife. Then we grew to multiple locations and the experience tanked because we weren't everywhere." - John DiJulius How Purpose Brands Solved It: Dave reveals the systems that allow franchisees' employees (not even corporate employees) to line up around the building to get brand tattoos at annual conferences—in the US, New Zealand, Australia, and beyond. Critical Franchising Insights: "You don't franchise a business—you franchise a mission" The difference between transactional franchising (buy a territory, make money) and transformational franchising (join a movement, change lives) "Find the 36-inch travel between talent and passion" Dave's framework for helping franchisees discover if they're in the right business—it's never 100% talent or 100% passion, but finding the balance point "We want franchisees who want to change lives, not just make money" The franchisee selection criteria that predicts long-term success better than net worth "Relationships create who we are—you are one of 50-100 that shaped our business" Why Dave credits consultants, mentors, and partners for Purpose Brands' success (including John DiJulius for helping create the PLEASE service standards) "Create availability for people to find you—it makes it easier to make an impact" Leadership philosophy on accessibility that translates to franchise support systems When to Franchise Your Business (Dave's Criteria): ✓ Proven unit economics across multiple locations (not just one lucky store) ✓ Replicable systems that someone else can execute without you ✓ Mission-driven model that attracts passionate operators, not just investors ✓ Scalable training that maintains culture as you grow ✓ Clear standards documented in playbooks (the "write it down" principle) Franchise Growth Strategies That Work: 1. The Consulting-to-Ownership Bridge Dave and Chuck consulted for years before owning, which taught them what works across different markets and models 2. The Flip-and-Learn Model Buying, improving, and selling gyms taught them rapid value creation and what levers drive results 3. The Mission-First Sale First franchise sold to a member who believed in the concept—not a business investor looking for ROI 4. The Playbook Obsession "Write it down"—documenting every procedure so franchisees can execute at scale 5. The Partner Selection Dave: passionate about fitness + talent in business Chuck: passionate about business + talent in operations Perfect complement creates unstoppable partnership For Corporate/Non-Franchise Businesses: Question to Dave: "Does someone have to be in the franchise world to engage you? Could KeyBank or another corporate entity learn from you?" Dave's Answer: "Absolutely. Anyone that wants to develop a culture that is scalable—that they can scale within their system—is something we can be a part of." Translation: The principles that allow 7,000 franchise locations to maintain culture work just as well for corporate multi-location businesses, distributed teams, or any organization struggling with consistency at scale. New Book: Fanchise Your Franchise Third book from Dave Mortensen and Chuck Runyon Core Concept: Transform franchisees from transactional business owners into passionate fans who champion your mission Who Should Read It: Franchisors with 10-100 locations struggling to maintain culture Business owners considering franchising but unsure if they're ready Multi-unit operators wanting to improve franchisee engagement Corporate leaders looking to scale culture across distributed locations Anyone building a business that needs to maintain standards without being everywhere Where to Get It: 4PGuys.com (the "4P Guys"—Dave and Chuck's consulting/speaking platform) Perfect For: Franchisors wanting to scale culture beyond 100 locations Business owners evaluating if franchising is the right growth strategy Multi-unit franchise operators looking to improve unit consistency Fitness/wellness entrepreneurs specifically in gym, boutique fitness, nutrition spaces Corporate leaders of multi-location businesses struggling with "employee roulette" CEOs who want to understand why some franchise systems thrive while others implode Key Quotes from Dave Mortensen: Franchising vs Corporate Growth: "We didn't just franchise a business model—we franchised a mission to change lives. That's why their employees get tattoos, not ours." Franchisee Selection: "We want franchisees who want to change lives, not just make money. If you're only in it for ROI, you won't survive the hard times." Talent vs Passion: "You'll never be 100% talented at what you're most passionate about, and vice versa. But when you find the 36-inch travel between the two, you just found your career." Scalable Leadership: "Chuck and I were absolutely different. Chuck was passionate about the business. I was passionate about fitness. That's what made us unstoppable together." Helping Others: "If I can help people find what I've been lucky to have—an incredible business partner, a thriving business, a great family—that's my passion now."

Ask: Would franchisees' employees tattoo your brand? If not, why not? Implement: Customer service standards as action words (like Purpose Brands' PLEASE framework) For Corporate Multi-Location Leaders: Steal the franchise playbook approach even if you're not franchising Create "write it down" culture so anyone can execute without you present Hire the Dave/Chuck complement—balance technical passion with business acumen Why This Matters: Most franchisors struggle to maintain culture past 50 locations. Purpose Brands maintains it across 7,000 locations in 50 countries—and has franchisees' employees tattooing the brand voluntarily. The difference? They don't franchise businesses. They franchise missions. They don't sell territories. They recruit believers. They don't manage franchisees. They empower fans. This interview reveals the exact systems, mindsets, and frameworks that create "Fanchises" instead of franchises.

In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, hosts Robin and Al sit down with executive leadership coach and strategic advisor Christine Farrugia for a deeply grounded conversation about success, fulfillment, and decision-making in complex leadership roles. Christine shares why so many high performers feel empty despite doing “everything right” on paper, and how chasing inherited definitions of success quietly erodes energy, confidence, and clarity. The conversation explores the powerful concept of “the gap versus the gain,” why comparison steals momentum, and how leaders can reconnect with progress by recognizing daily wins instead of endlessly moving goalposts. Robin, Al, and Christine also unpack how leaders make decisions when data is incomplete, stakes feel high, and ambiguity is unavoidable. Christine offers practical insight into trusting intuition, distinguishing reversible versus irreversible decisions, and stepping out of fear-based paralysis. The episode weaves together leadership, values, customer-centricity, and personal growth, emphasizing that clarity comes from alignment, not achievement alone. Christine also shares how leaders can identify misalignment between personal values and organizational culture, and why many perceived conflicts are stories worth examining more closely. You'll hear about: Why high performers often feel unfulfilled despite outward success The difference between chasing success and defining it for yourself The “gap versus the gain” framework and how it changes motivation How comparison quietly drains confidence and joy Daily wins as a leadership discipline, not a productivity trick Making decisions when data is incomplete and pressure is high Reversible versus irreversible leadership decisions Trusting intuition without abandoning logic What customer-centricity really looks like beyond metrics Values alignment, culture, and leadership integrity Navigating perceived misalignment between personal and company values Strategic influence as a leadership superpower We talk about: 00:00 Introduction and welcome 01:00 Christine's leadership background and coaching work 02:30 Why success often feels empty for high performers 04:30 Defining success for yourself at different life stages 06:30 The gap versus the gain and how comparison steals momentum 09:00 Recognizing progress and celebrating daily wins 11:30 Gratitude, habits, and leadership energy 14:00 Decision-making in ambiguity and high-stakes environments 17:00 Reversible versus irreversible leadership decisions 20:00 Trusting intuition when data is incomplete 23:00 Customer-centricity beyond dashboards and metrics 26:00 Values, culture, and perceived misalignment at work 29:00 Strategic influence and getting things done through others 32:00 Leadership growth through self-awareness and inner work 35:00 The signature question, planting trees for the future Connect with Christine LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinefarrugia/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachwithchristine/ Website: https://www.christinefarrugia.com/ Connect with Us LinkedIn: Robin Bailey and Al McDonald Website: Aria Benefits and Life & Legacy Advisory Group

What if your farm didn't have to "scale up" to be successful? What if it could stay small, seasonal, creative — and still feel deeply worth it? In this conversation, I sit down with a farmer who has intentionally chosen a different path: one rooted in values, flexibility, and creativity — and who's built a beautiful business around it. This episode is a quietly powerful case study. Claire and I talk about: Running a farm while not being a full-time farmer Letting creativity lead your product development Using one strong "gateway product" to anchor your marketing Why slow food, intentional processes, and values-based pricing actually work And how storytelling — not hustle — fuels her business growth If you've ever wondered whether there's another way to farm besides "bigger, faster, more," this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Meet Our Guest: Claire Troemner Today's guest is Claire Troemner, who owns and operates Troemner Farm with her husband Matthew in Atlantic Mine, Michigan. Claire is a lifelong plant lover and cook who grows diversified vegetables, keeps a small flock of laying hens, and creates artisan value-added foods like sourdough bread, broths, jams, syrups, and Mediterranean harissa — all deeply influenced by her Sicilian roots. She also runs an interview series called The Dish, where she highlights local farmers, foodies, and chefs across Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOtmQv3O7T8 Podcast audio: It is common to think of values as things we “discover” about ourselves — pre-packaged preferences waiting somewhere deep inside. We speak, for example, of “discovering our passion” or of finally realizing “what we were meant to do,” as if these priorities had been there all along. On this view, valuing is automatic: we simply respond to our needs, desires, or emotions. In his 2025 Objectivist Summer Conference talk, titled “Conceiving Values,” Gregory Salmieri offers a different account. Drawing on Ayn Rand's distinctive view, he argues that valuing is not passive or instinctive. It is an active, cognitive achievement — something we must choose, learn, and practice. Values, Salmieri explains, are goals within an ongoing process of self-sustaining action. Other organisms act to preserve themselves, but only human beings can conceptually identify and plan out their values. To concretize this process, Salmieri turns to the work of creators. An architect does not discover their buildings ready-made in the world; a novelist does not stumble upon finished stories; each must actively conceive a guiding idea and gradually give it concrete form. Likewise, valuing involves choosing long-range commitments that give direction to one's actions and define the course of one's life. Topics covered in Salmieri's talk include: Conventional view of values vs. Objectivism's; Values and life; Conceptual values in human beings; Knowledge and goals in valuing; Q&A. This talk was recorded live on July 5th in Boston, MA, as part of the 2025 Objectivist Summer Conference, and is available on The Ayn Rand Institute Podcast stream.

In this morning's class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explored one of the Torah's most psychologically honest teachings: what to do when our emotions and our values don't align. Through the mitzvah of helping an enemy's fallen donkey, we uncovered Judaism's middle path, neither repressing emotions nor surrendering to them. Drawing from halacha, Kabbalah, and Chassidus, the class reframed emotional maturity as the ability to feel honestly while choosing responsibly, and offered a practical way to act with integrity even when the heart resists.Key TakeawaysThe Torah acknowledges emotional resistance without letting it dictate behaviorFeeling something does not automatically make it true or actionableJewish Law validates emotions but prioritizes responsibility and mitzvahHelping an “enemy” is about freeing yourself from the grip of impulseIn Kabbalah, the mind is meant to guide emotions like a wise parent, not silence themSometimes the heart follows the hands, action can lead emotion#Judaism #Kabbalah #Jewish #Torah #TorahLessons #TorahPortion #Bible #BibleStudy #KabbalahForEveryone #EmotionalWisdom #torahpsychology #MoachShalitAlHalev #InnerWork #JewishMindfulness #SpiritualMaturity #HalachaAndHeart #chassidus #RabbiBernath #chabadAvailable now:Paperback (US): https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Paperback (Canada): https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

YAYYY Season 3 of the podcast is HERE! And we are recording in person!! God is so good! I've missed y'all! At the start of the year, it's tempting to rush toward quick fixes—fast results, immediate change, and visible progress. But Scripture shows us that God is far more concerned with how something is built than how quickly it appears. In 2 Kings 12, we see the careful restoration of the temple using skilled workers and sturdy materials—investments meant to last. And Isaiah reminds us that what springs up quickly without deep roots often ends in grief. In this episode, you'll learn: How temple repairs in Scripture mirror how God invites us to care for our own “temples” Why God prioritizes trained, trusted support and solid foundations over quick solutions How diet culture mimics fast-growing plants that fail to bear lasting fruit Why results alone are not the same as fruit—and how Jesus defines true success How to discern whether an investment in your health is leading toward stability or striving If you're tired of starting over and want to pursue healing in a way that honors both your body and your faith, I'd love to support you.
The Genesis creation narrative tells us that after creating humankind both male and female in His own image, God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it.” This creation mandate reveals God's intentions for His image-bearers. New research conducted by the Pew Research Center indicates that for today's teenagers ages thirteen to seventeen, getting married and having kids is not a top priority. In fact, eighty-six percent of the respondents say that it's extremely or very important for them to have a job or career they enjoy and which brings financial success when they reach adulthood. Only thirty-six percent said that they cared about getting married, and just thirty percent say it's important to have children. With the cultural tide moving in this direction, perhaps we need to do a better job of teaching about God's heart and design for the family, teaching them that having and raising children is a high privilege and high calling!

Mike dismantles the latest Epstein smears by breaking down newly released FBI documents showing Trump reported Jeffrey Epstein to police years before the scandal exploded. He explains why the media’s obsession with speculation distracts from facts, and how guilt-by-association politics is being weaponized to destroy reputations. Mike then widens the lens to culture and immigration, calling out the NFL halftime backlash, elite contempt for American identity, and Democrats caught on tape saying the opposite of what they preach today.

What if we don't know what to do with broken hearts the way we know what to do with broken bones? In this episode, Jeanne Foot shares how she helps individuals and families navigate mental health, addiction, and trauma recovery through The Recovery Concierge. Jeanne is the founder of this boutique mental health, addiction, and trauma navigation agency that provides innovative concierge services tailored to unique needs of individuals, families, and the entertainment industry. With a focus on mental health and addiction recovery, her team's holistic approach encompasses assessments, counseling, and continuous support, ensuring a comprehensive pathway to sustainable recovery. Her journey into this work wasn't by choice - it chose her. Growing up in 1960s London with childhood trauma, sexual abuse, and the death of her baby sister, Jeanne fell into substances at a young age as her only tool for emotional regulation. After getting sober and spending seven years frozen in emotional pain, she had an epiphany: no one's coming to save you. She dove into everything from peak performance to trauma healing, creating the proprietary method she uses today with clients. Jeanne reveals two relationships that transformed her: her father, who mentored her in the family insurance business in her early twenties when she didn't want to go to university, teaching her that sales is about guiding people through a process (not coercing them), that you win on price but lose on price, and instilling values of ethics, integrity, kindness, vulnerability, and transparency that shape everything she stands for today and carry through to their third-generation family business; and Dr. Anthony Levitt, Chief of Brain Sciences at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto with over 10,000 employees, a brilliant psychiatrist who gave agency to people who weren't clinically trained, wanting to learn from lived experience rather than taking a top-down approach, asking Jeanne to chair a grassroots pilot program in 2012 that has now served thousands of families and become a leader in the industry both nationally and internationally, and who admitted "we're failing people, we need to do better" when others would hide that they don't know what to do. [00:04:20] Founder of The Recovery Concierge Boutique mental health, addiction, and trauma navigation agency Matches people to right services and bespoke treatment plans Uses invitational, compassionate, non-stigmatizing approach to intervention Been doing this work 30 years informally, 15 years professionally [00:05:40] Growing Up in 1960s London "Children should be seen and not heard" environment in middle class family Baby sister died when Jeanne was four years old Stepbrother sexually abused her, grew up with tremendous trauma Fell into substances at very young age as only coping mechanism [00:06:40] The Critical Juncture: Seven Years Sober Seven years into sobriety, thought "if this is all my life's gonna be, I don't want any part" Frozen in her body, life picture perfect on outside but empty inside In so much emotional pain despite having everything externally [00:07:20] The Epiphany: No One's Coming to Save You Had an epiphany: "There's no one who's coming to save you. You better figure this out yourself" Dove into everything: peak performance, emotional healing, trauma, addiction, mental health Created proprietary method mixing optimal tools that became foundation for her work [00:08:20] Her Children: The Catalyst for Change Children became more important to her than herself Wanted to do things differently than her family had done Made sacrifices in her early thirties (early 1990s) to choose them [00:09:40] The Volunteer Visit That Changed Everything Looking for place to volunteer, wanted to be of service and reduce suffering Someone pointed her to Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto Had no idea what she was doing, just felt she wanted to help [00:10:00] The Town Hall Meeting with Dr. Anthony Levitt Met Dr. Anthony Levitt, Chief of Brain Sciences at Sunnybrook Hospital (10,000+ employees) He was examining why parents were taking children to US for mental health treatment Parents shared their stories, Dr. Levitt said: "We're gonna do something about this right now" [00:10:40] Building the Plane While Flying It Dr. Levitt asked Jeanne to chair the pilot program Lived experience informed program with clinical expertise Did everything: secured philanthropy funding, hired people, visited every stakeholder, defined metrics [00:11:20] He Gave Us Agency Dr. Levitt gave them agency despite being brilliant psychiatrist Felt he could learn from people who had been in trenches and failed by system Jeanne worked across from him 30 hours a week for free because so in love with the work [00:13:00] We Don't Know What to Do with Broken Hearts Know what to do with broken hearts (cardiology) or broken bones Don't know what to do with broken hearts (emotional)—very nuanced, non-prescriptive process Need to meet client where they're at, not use top-down approach [00:14:20] Rapport Is Number One Indicator of Success Rapport is #1 indicator of success, not therapeutic expertise If you don't have rapport with someone, you can't go anywhere Client from 40 years ago still calling because of implicit trust: "I've got my people" [00:16:00] Learning from Her Father First person who changed her life was her father His ethics, sense of humor, values shaped who she became Father was fantastic mentor when she joined family insurance business in 1980s [00:17:00] Sales Is About Guiding People in a Process Father taught her sales is about guiding people, not coercing them Showing them a process: either they want it or they don't He taught her about ethics—have to have benchmark of morality in business [00:19:20] Third Generation of Client Relationships Into third generation with client acquisitions in insurance business Values come from within structure of family and organization Clients saying: "We've been dealing with these people for long time, continue that" Father's lesson: "You win on price, you lose on price" [00:22:40] Dr. Anthony Levitt: Beautiful Humility Gave agency to people who weren't clinically trained, wanted to learn from them Admitted "we're failing people, we need to do better" instead of defending system Such beautiful humility about him wanting to learn [00:23:40] Grassroots Organization Still Going Strong Since 2012 Built organization that's served thousands of families Has funding, clinical research, evidence-based outcomes Leaders not just nationally but internationally with this model of care Dr. Levitt's philosophy: "The government leads by following" [00:25:20] Lives Saved Through Being There Been in situations where had she not been there in right moment, person wouldn't be here today Meets people in their darkest moments, sometimes requires heavy lifting Testimonials from family members: "You literally saved my daughter's life" [00:26:20] Compassionate Persistence Everyone does it in their own timeline, have to respect that Not top-down authoritarian approach—some people need more time "Compassionate persistence": stay with them until they get what they need [00:28:20] Triggers Are Learning Opportunities Closer relationships trigger us most, but triggers can be good thing Learning opportunities to do better, show up differently People we love most can be most challenging, but they're opportunities for beautiful learning [00:28:40] 100% Personal Responsibility Have to take 100% responsibility, each of us—no 50/50 When we take personal responsibility, we put control in our hands We build walls to protect our hearts, but can't let anything good in either Being seen, validated, heard for what we need is important part of healing KEY QUOTES "We know what to do with broken hearts in cardiology, but we don't know what to do with broken hearts." - Jeanne Foot "Rapport is the number one indicator of success. People think it's therapeutic expertise—it's not. If you don't have rapport with someone, you can't go anywhere." - Jeanne Foot "Triggers can be a good thing. They can be learning opportunities for us to do better, to show up differently. We all have blind spots, and the people we love the most sometimes can be the most challenging in our relationships." - Jeanne Foot CONNECT WITH JEANNE FOOT

Most leadership development fails for one simple reason: it focuses on skills, not on how leaders actually change. In this episode of the WholeCEO Podcast, Lisa G. sits down with Philip Botha to unpack why so many leadership programs create short-term insight—but rarely produce lasting, behavioral transformation. Together, they explore what really drives monumental change in leaders: how neural pathways are formed and rewired, why emotional regulation is a leadership capability (not a soft skill), and how values—not tactics—shape decision-making, trust, and culture over time. This conversation goes beyond performance hacks and into the internal architecture of leadership. You'll hear why alignment between personal values and organizational values is critical for sustainable growth, how authenticity impacts culture at scale, and why leaders who ignore emotional development often hit invisible ceilings—no matter how talented they are. If you're a CEO, founder, or senior leader who's invested in growth but frustrated by stalled change—this episode will challenge how you think about leadership development entirely. In this episode, we cover: 1-Why traditional leadership development fails to create lasting change 2-How neural pathways influence behavior, habits, and leadership patterns 3-The role of emotional regulation in trust, judgment, and decision quality 4-Values alignment as the foundation of authentic leadership 5-How personal growth directly shapes organizational culture 6-Building trust and psychological safety through emotional awareness This episode is for leaders who want real change—not just better ideas.
