Ross Powers had all the chips stacked against him…His life started in leg braces, and things weren't easy.  What Ross did have, though, was a strong mom and snowboarding.  He strapped in, learned to shred, started winning, and didn't stop until he was an Olympic Gold Medalist and one of the most decorated riders of our time.  On this week's podcast, we talk about his journey from Vermont to just about every podium in the world.

If you grew up evangelical, the thought of youth ministry is probably very triggering. It may bring back memories of shame and religiosity. Adolescence is a very tender time of our lives and that is exactly when a lot of the toxicity of fundamentalism was solidified. More likely than not, we heard rhetoric like, “Gay is sinful” and, “Love the sinner, hate the sin” all of the time. Now, imagine what it would be like to have a youth ministry that is LGBTQ inclusive. This is the very thing that today’s guest is invested in and passionate about. Ross Murray is the founder of The Naming Project and the author of Made, Known, Loved: Developing LGBTQ Inclusive Youth Ministry. He is a strong advocate for LGBTQ inclusiveness in churches around the world. In this episode, Ross and I discuss his background, where his passion for this kind of advocacy arose, what he is doing now to support LGBTQ kids, and how you can be a part of it.  Show Highlights: Ross’s experience with the church and ministry throughout childhood and young adulthood. How The Naming Project came to be. How coming out later in life makes people relive their adolescence. What Ross’s camps are like. The connection between kids’ spirituality and sexuality. How Ross balanaces his religion and his promotion of LGBTQ inclusiveness. What his book is about. How they figure out sleeping arrangements at his camps. Why privacy doesn’t have to mean shameful. Why youth ministries should stop using cutesy phrases and just say the hard things.

Today’s conversation is with Ross Glotzbach, the CEO and Head of Research at one of the great names in value investing, Southeastern Asset Management, the firm founded by Mason Hawkins over 40 years ago. Ross is also the co-portfolio manager on Longleaf Partners, Small-Cap and Global Funds, as well as the Longleaf Partners Global UCITS Fund. Before joining Southeastern in 2004, he was a Corporate Finance Analyst at Stephens, Inc. after graduating from Princeton University.  From a young age, Ross was fascinated with investing in businesses where he could turn 50 cents into $1. By the time he was starting college, Ross was introduced to the concept of value investing and got the opportunity to manage real money of his own, which he attributes as a key step on his path to becoming a value investor. Not one to take the passive route, Ross set out to learn as much about value investing as he could and determine whether it was the right strategy for him. After multiple internships and valuable experience working at Stephens, Ross joined Southeastern with their culture of “true value investors”. On this episode, Ross and I talk about his introduction to value investing, why he values his time at Stephens so much, his experience as an analyst at Southeastern, what it means to be Head of Research, why he places so much importance on having conversations with management, the engaged approach to investing, and so much more!   Key Topics: Ross’s early interest in finding ways to buy $1 for 50 cents (2:56) How Ross started out with value investing (3:56) Ross’s experiences exploring outside of the value investment strategy (6:59) What Ross learned while working at Stephens (9:50) Ross’s first years as an analyst at Southeastern (11:29) Why you must have a master list of companies you’d love to own (13:44) Ross’s path from Junior Analyst to Head of Research (15:33) The day-to-day responsibilities of Ross’s role as Head of Research (16:11) Why Southeastern prefers their analysts to be generalists (18:14) How Southeastern’s multi-country research team stays coordinated (19:18) Ross’s strategy for finding good investment ideas in the small-cap sector (21:00) The opportunities traditional value investors often miss by ignoring conversations management (23:09) Ross’s criteria for assessing business quality (26:13) How Ross assesses barriers to entry of potential investments (27:28) Southeastern’s qualitative strategy for handling the disruption of industries by technology (29:11) Why industry disruption can give value investors a competitive advantage (31:10) Southeastern’s approach to valuation (33:04) How Southeastern manages diversification and risk (36:52) The engaged approach for balancing active and passive investment (39:42) The leadership transition with Mason Hawkins (45:46) Ross’s perspective on value underperforming relative to growth (49:36) What Ross thinks about the growth of the passive investment market (51:39) How private equity investing has changed in recent years (54:41) And much more!    Mentioned in this Episode:  Southeastern Asset Management Longleaf Partners Funds Benjamin Graham’s Book | The Intelligent Investor Stephens, Inc.

Ross Andrew Paquette is the founder of Maropost. Ross founded Maropost in 2011 as an email service provider, but it quickly grew beyond the original vision and helps simplify customer engagement for companies across the board with their technology. They became one of the fastest-growing companies in North America, without ever raising funding. Maropost is trusted by companies like the Golden State Warriors, Mercedes Benz, Livestrong, and The New York Post.

Does it come down to having the right product or strategy? Could it be something else entirely? On this episode of Inspired Insider, you’ll hear from entrepreneur and innovator, Ross Andrew Paquette. In his conversation with Jeremy, Ross opens up about the original vision for Maropost, how the business grew, why getting a good team in place was key, and much more. If you want an inside look at how a successful business grew from the ground up - you are in the right place! Where did you get your drive and inspiration from? Did you grow up with a chip on your shoulder determined to make a mark on the world, or did you have people who invested in you and cultivated your abilities? For Ross Andrew Paquette, it was watching and learning from his father - even at a young age. Ross’ father was a dentist who knew the value of working hard and delivering quality results - he’s taken that same work ethic to his work with Maropost. Remember - you have a unique role as a leader! You can lift people up and inspire them if you make an effort. Is there a certain value or principle that looms large in your organization? If someone were to ask you - or better yet - if someone were to ask your team members what the number one value in your organization is, what would they say? At Maropost - Ross works hard to cultivate a good team environment. He believes that collaboration and teamwork are central to a thriving and successful business. As they say - the proof is in the pudding! Year after year, Maropost continues to grow in a positive direction while maintaining its core values. What can you learn from Ross’ journey with Maropost? Following in that same vein of team building and collaboration - Ross points to the personal relationships that he has fostered with his customers as a key factor in Maropost’s success. Think about it - the businesses that go the extra mile and try to create that human connection are the ones that make a lasting impact. While your organization might not have the resources that Maropost has, you can start taking steps in the right direction to make your customers feel valued. What steps will you take to start that process? What legacy will you leave? What long term impact of all your efforts with your company have? While it might sound odd to consider, it is helpful to start considering your long-term legacy if you haven’t already. Thinking about the legacy that he’ll leave behind - Ross decided that they should create Maropost Cares. Maropost Cares focuses on leaving the world better than before; it means giving endangered species a second chance; it means restoring ecosystems through conservation initiatives. Most importantly, Maropost Cares wants to leave a legacy of sustainability and responsibility.

(Photo courtesy of Ross Porter, and used with permission.) When he made the DQ Music Box, Ross Porter didn't set out to become a maker. With his invention, the "Dementia Friendly Music Player", he just wanted to give his father some happiness. But today, he's teaching others how to create the player--open-source. (Photo courtesy of Ross Porter, and used with permission.) Ross enlisted the help of fellow makers, especially nonprofit Makers Making Change, to make his vision a reality.  Along the way, he says, the makers gave him new ideas and ways to make his original idea even better. Currently, he has two models of the "Dementia Friendly Music Player", which are very easy for a loved one with dementia to use.  The basic box, shown above, is laser-cut. (Photo courtesy of Ross Porter, and used with permission.) Meanwhile, this cathedral-style "radio" case is--can you believe it?--3D printed! The DQ Music Box, Ross says, is easy to make in under two hours.  In fact, in 2017, Ross taught a group attendees to make the players in that amount of time. And--he's going to be doing that again.  This time, he has a brand-new model he's completing! (Photo courtesy of Ross Porter, and used with permission.) Gorgeous? Warm-looking?  Ross plans to exhibit this cherry wood model of the DQ Music Box at the Makers Making Change exhibit during the 2018 Seattle Mini Maker Faire, on August 18th and 19th. Ross talked about the experience of creating the DQ Music Box, how it works and what fellow makers can learn from his experiences at the Seattle Mini Maker Faire. On this edition of Over Coffee® , you'll hear: How Ross first came up with the concept for his "Dementia Friendly Music Player"; What the process was like, of designing the first one with the help of the maker community; How to make the "DQ Music Box" (Ross has provided his pattern open-source, so you can get started making one today!) What Ross's parents thought of the gift; How the "Dementia-Friendly Music Player" works, for someone with dementia; What Ross's experience was like, teaching people to make the "DQ Music Box" at the Seattle Mini Maker Faire; Where to find Ross as he exhibits his brand-new player at this year's Seattle Mini Maker Faire in August; A "legalese" consideration for makers; (this is NOT legal advice, and for informational purposes only!  Please contact a legal professional with any legal questions.) Ross's advice to fellow makers, on exhibiting at a Maker Faire; Some of the resources Ross would recommend to fellow makers; One of Ross's favorite stories, from people who made his "DQ Music Box" for loved ones. Going to the Seattle Mini Maker Faire, Saturday and Sunday, August 18th and 19th?  Look for Ross and his new cherry wood model of the "DQ Music Box" at the Makers Making Change exhibit!
