Episode SummaryIn this episode of Lassoing Leadership, Jason Rogers and Garth Nichols sit down with Drew Dudley to explore a simple but powerful idea: leadership isn't defined by titles or big moments — it's shaped by the small behaviors we practice every single day.Drawing from his book This Is Day One, Drew shares the mental models, questions, and habits that help leaders move from intention to impact. The conversation centers on the idea that leadership is not something we wait to grow into. Instead, it's something we practice daily through decisions, behaviors, and the values we choose to live out in the moment.Drew reflects on personal stories that shaped his thinking about leadership and offers practical ways leaders can rethink their influence. From the importance of recognizing small moments of impact to the discipline of grounding decisions in values, the conversation highlights how meaningful leadership often grows out of everyday choices.Jason, Garth, and Drew also explore the idea of “Day One” leadership — the mindset that every day presents a new opportunity to lead with purpose. The discussion moves into the role of reflective questions, overcoming leadership paralysis, and finding the courage to act even when the path forward feels uncertain.It's a thoughtful conversation about habits, humility, and how leaders can create lasting impact by focusing on the behaviors that matter most — one day at a time.TopicsLeadership, Daily Habits, Values-Based Leadership, Impact, Drew Dudley, This Is Day One, Leadership Development, Behavioral Change, Leadership QuestionsTake AwaysLeadership as daily behavior grounded in valuesThe concept of “Day One” leadershipThe impact of small actions and decisionsMental models for effective leadershipReflective questions that drive meaningful leadership behaviorLeadership impact is created through consistent daily behaviors.Values should guide decisions, especially when leadership becomes complex.Reflective questions help leaders move from intention to action.Every day offers a fresh opportunity to lead with purpose.“Every day is a new opportunity to lead.”“Fight addiction one day at a time.”“Keep leading the Lasso way.”Chapters00:00 — Introduction to Everyday Leadership06:05 — The Concept of Day One09:22 — Personal Stories and Insights12:08 — Leadership and Legacy15:13 — Behavior and Values in Leadership17:59 — Overcoming Leadership Paralysis21:10 — Making Leadership Impactful24:45 — Navigating Fear and Empathy in Leadership27:02 — The Power of Reflective Questions29:02 — Experiments in Leadership and Impact30:55 — Decision-Making and Values32:45 — The Complexity of Leadership36:39 — Ted Lasso as a Leadership Case Study

Send us a textThe landscape of community living is shifting as associations grapple with rising energy costs, climate pressures, and ever evolving resident expectations. In this episode of Take It To The Board, host Donna DiMaggio Berger sits down with Nicolas Milo, Senior Director at KW Property Management, to explore how sustainability is more than just an environmental initiative -- it's also a smart financial strategy.No longer limited to “going green” for responsibility's sake, today's forward-thinking boards see that sustainability brings immediate cost savings, operational efficiencies, healthier environments, and stronger property values. Donna and Nicolas discuss the beauty of this approach and its flexibility where communities can start small by fine-tuning existing systems and then scale to more advanced technologies.For boards wondering where to begin, Nicolas recommends a phased approach: first, ensure existing systems operate at peak efficiency according to manufacturer specifications. Then explore strategic upgrades like building management systems, water flow meters, or LED lighting with motion sensors. Low-hanging fruit includes domestic water filters to reduce plastic waste, comprehensive recycling programs that generate rebates, and community engagement initiatives like neighborhood cleanups or garden projects.Technology is opening new doors for associations -- from EV charging stations with minimal upfront investment to advanced trash management solutions.

In this powerful departure from the usual business talk, Collisions YYC host Tyler Chisholm reconnects with longtime friend and award-winning author Marcello Di Cintio to discuss his newest book, Precarious: The Lives of Migrant Workers. What begins as a conversation about storytelling and research quickly becomes a compelling dissection of Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program—a system that many Canadian businesses now depend on, yet one that “enables bad bosses to be bad” and quietly upholds racial and economic divides.Tyler brings the lens of a business owner frustrated by labour shortages, while Marcello offers moving and deeply researched accounts of the people working behind the scenes in farms, restaurants, and care facilities. For leaders navigating a tight labour market, this episode challenges you to see migrant workers not just as solutions to staffing problems—but as human beings who deserve better from the systems they uphold.Buy the book: Precarious: The Lives of Migrant Workers Support Calgary indie booksellers like Shelf Life Books or Owl's Nest Books.In This Episode Why Canada's labour policies don't live up to its valuesThe historical shift from European to racialized migrant labourStories of courage, loss, and exploitation across sectorsThe business owner's frustration vs. the worker's realityHope from the frontlines of advocacyThis episode is brought to you by clearmotive marketing.

While everyone obsesses over AI shopping assistants, the real commerce transformation is happening in other spaces. Steve Norris from Logicbroker unpacks how Gen Alpha's $67 weekly spending habits, Roblox's 380 million users, and agentic tools are forcing retailers to reshape their operational backbones. Key takeaways:Loyalty has evolved from transactional to operational - Modern consumers demand authentic brand experiences over points and discounts, rewarding companies that consistently deliver on their stated valuesThe supply chain is the overlooked frontier - While everyone focuses on AI shopping assistants, the transformative opportunity lies in agentic order routing, returns processing, and risk scoringInventory visibility remains the ultimate blocker - Real-time visibility across distribution centers, stores, and supplier networks is still the foundational challenge preventing true omnichannel success"There are people that are buying now that aren't humans... That's just a weird statement when you say that out loud." - Steve Norris"We're moving from this transactional loyalty to more of this operational loyalty... which is like a brand's ability to be able to flawlessly execute on their position and their story." - Steve Norris"I used to hand-code web pages in Notepad.exe...

Familiarizing listeners with the five Buddhist hindrances, Trudy Goodman suggests a compassionate return to mindfulness of the senses.Today's podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.In this episode, Trudy Goodman outlines:The 5 Buddhist hindrances: desire, aversion, sloth and torpor, restlessness/worry, and doubtRemembering that being affected by the hindrances is not a mistake or our fault, but instead is an opportunity to practice mindfulnessHow craving pulls us out of the present moment and how our senses can ground us back into awarenessReflecting on the feeling of wanting something, and whether our desires truly align with our core valuesThe four kinds of suffering, most of which we have all experiencedUnderstanding that aversion is not inherently ‘bad' and how it can be a kindness to turn away from something that causes us painShifting our attention away from hostility and turning towards curiosity about our emotionsPracticing walking meditation as a remedy to sloth and torpor Getting to the root of our restlessness and discovering what we are trying to change about the present moment How, beneath the paralysis of doubt and inner cynicism, there is often a lack of inner confidence Living our lives fully, not wasting a moment, and being completely present as often as we can “We each have our favorites of the hindrances, but again, these are not mistakes, these are not your fault, they're part of the practice. When the mind gets lost in them, the doorway back to being present is through coming to our senses. What we see here, taste, feel, in this particular moment of our life. We know this is actually the only real moment of our life.” – Trudy GoodmanAbout Trudy Goodman:Trudy is a Vipassana teacher in the Theravada lineage and the Founding Teacher of InsightLA. For 25 years, in Cambridge, MA, Trudy practiced mindfulness-based psychotherapy with children, teenagers, couples and individuals. Trudy conducts retreats, engages in activism work, and teaches workshops worldwide and online. She is also the voice of Trudy the Love Barbarian in the Netflix series, The Midnight Gospel. You can learn more about Trudy's flourishing array of wonderful offerings at TrudyGoodman.comAversion is also here to protect us from things that are painful in this life, the problem is that aversion doesn't understand what true protection is. True protection comes from understanding that we can meet our suffering, that we have strong enough mindfulness and strong enough ability to be present, that we can hold it, that we can meet it, that it isn't going to flood us, overwhelm us, and destroy us, which is often the fear.” – Trudy GoodmanThis recording was originally published on Dharmaseed.orgSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cara and Rythea dig into how hypocritical they feel as parent advocates when they fall so short on their own commitment to staying loving. They have a good laugh and some deep process about how childhood wounds and unconscious aspects of self show up when they least expect it.They explore specific situations where they have worked hard to be different, but keep getting triggered into the same kind of reactivity.

Rythea exposes how a mother-wound with her own parent blocks her from allowing her child to individuate gracefully.

What does it mean to model a process for our children when we're the ones unraveling?

We often hear the advice, “You just need to find your community.”It sounds simple. Hopeful, even. But it can ring hollow for anyone who has tried to do it, and for those in leadership roles where they carry the additional burdens of responsibility and visibility. And it's especially fraught advice for anyone who has experienced relational trauma.Because true community isn't something you stumble into. It has to be built, slowly and intentionally. And it's often uncomfortable and messy when we're healing from experiences where reaching for connection resulted in hurt and betrayal.But human beings are wired for connection. We long for it. And we're more disconnected from each other than ever.The remedy for our loneliness is in the slow, awkward, sacred work of showing up and staying, even through discomfort and disagreement. If we lay foundations of shared dignity and respect, we can build courageously honest relationships and community in those uncomfortable spaces. My guest today joins me to explore the intricate journey of building a true community, one that transcends buzzwords and embraces the courage to be vulnerable and honest, to disagree, repair, and stay genuinely connected.Charles Vogl is an adviser, speaker, and the author of three books, including the international bestseller The Art of Community.His work is used to advise and develop leadership and programs worldwide within organizations including Google, Airbnb, LinkedIn, Twitch, Amazon, ServiceNow, Meetup.com, Wayfair and the US Army.Charles holds an M.Div. from Yale, where he studied spiritual traditions, ethics, and business as a Jesse Ball duPont Foundation scholar.Listen to the full episode to hear:How a seemingly simple ritual of Friday dinners turned Charles's house into a community hubWhy investing in community building will always require some amount of intention and effortHow Charles's experiences working for social change shaped his skill for bringing people together around shared purpose and valuesThe difference between true community and what Charles calls “mirage communities”What holds leaders back from creating spaces where real relationships and community can be builtThe importance of “campfire experiences” for developing trust and admirationWhy we need to invite others in, not just announce our plans and hope they show upLearn more about Charles Vogl:WebsiteConnect on LinkedInThe Art of Community: 7 Principles for BelongingLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:The loneliest people (and places) in America, Andrew Van Dam | Washington PostMarissa KingCloud Cult - You'll Be Bright
