Today on Sheer Clarity, we continue our three-part series on diversity and inclusion with part two. In the last episode, we discussed the power of learning your heart story, and today we continue this discussion by talking about the power of learning another person’s heart story. Instead of taking a big global approach or national approach to addressing the problem of divisiveness and hatred, we’re taking an inside-out approach by focusing on the human heart. Kevin suggests that when you know your own heart and are prepared to share it, then you can find other human beings who are also willing and share your hearts with each other. If this is done with sincerity and vulnerability, there is an enormous amount of connection building, empathy, and healing that occurs. Tuning in today, you’ll hear about what it takes to be able to really engage with another human being, and what we can learn about this from Oriah Mountain Dreamer’s poem “The Invitation”. Find out some practical advice on how to share your story, how to decide who to share your story with, how to set the tone for openness and vulnerability, and even the topics you should cover to guide the conversation and help you really connect with each other’s heart stories. Key Points From This Episode: How today’s topic falls within the current three-part series on diversity and inclusion.Why Kevin feels it’s important to take an inside-out approach to the problems of division and hatred.How to go about learning another human heart by talking to each other about your life story.The first of the three things you need to be able to engage with another human being: having the desire to do so.The second thing: the willingness to experience the discomfort of sharing your own story.The third thing: You have to decide with whom you are going to exchange heart stories.The two parts of this desire: I’d like to get to know you and I’d like to give you an invitation to get to know me.Thoughts on what we can learn from the poem “The Invitation”.The art of not helping: why you should just listen with your head and your heart instead of trying to solve problems.Practical advice on talking to another person to know their heart: The downloadable worksheet: ‘Sharing your Story: Discovering, disclosure, openness, and vulnerability’Why you should start by practicing this with friends or family members and work up to people you don’t really know.How to set the tone for an open and vulnerable conversation.Topics to cover in the conversation to help you and the other person open up about your heart stories.How sharing this podcast may help spread the healing.

There is no doubt that societies are more divided and polarized than ever before. So many of us are torn when it comes to dealing with these hate-filled, angry times. While there are so many institutional approaches to tackling issues of diversity and inclusion, today, Kevin wants to offer a different approach; that of learning your heart story. This is the first of a three-part series around diversity and inclusion. By taking a heart-led approach, you have to dig deep within. What is it that your heart is telling you if you are truly willing to listen? Where are your blind spots? Where do you still need to grow, and what are your strengths? Being a great leader means being willing to do some self-reflection, and while this is not easy, it has to be done. We cannot shy away from asking ourselves the difficult questions that will allow us to move forward and be the kind, caring changemakers we need in this world. Key Points From This Episode:Being a great leader starts with doing internal work before anything else.There are so many institutional approaches to tackle diversity and inclusion, but we are starting with a heart solution.Ask yourself questions to interrogate how you view inclusion and diversity.Why Kevin still fundamentally believes that people are inherently good.What Kevin learned about acceptance growing up in a diverse neighborhood.How your heart space links to leadership; you are self-aware and walk the talk.What would happen if we were all ruthlessly honest and kind to ourselves?Kevin’s definition of grace: accepting transgressions of others.What you can do to contribute to making the world a less hateful place.

Coolest of all, he's also a founding member of the board of the Long Now Foundation, a non-profit devoted to encouraging long-term thinking. We discussed the Long Now Foundation at the end of this episode in a conversation about what it means to be a good ancestor for future generations. A couple of things stood out from this conversation. First, I like how Kevin focuses on clarity above all else whenever he writes. He sees himself as a great editor, and writing is the process by which he discovers what he's thinking. Second, we build off the ideas of Marshall McLuhan who was the founding saint of Wired Magazine. Through McLuhan, we explored Kevin's Christianity, how screens are shaping consciousness, and how our technologies have a gravitational life of their own. Please enjoy my conversation with Kevin Kelly. ____________________________ Show Notes 2:22 - Exotropic energy and how Kevin uses it to explain the negative entropy we see throughout the universe. 6:24 - Why California has become the world hub of extropy. 10:33 - The transition from the written word to text and screens and how it affects our psyche. 15:27 - What made Marshall McLuhan's writing so paradoxical and engaging. 18:34 - How science fiction has usurped religious teachings as the modern leader of theological thought. 24:06 - Why our limitation as seeing the future only "through the rearview mirror" is driven by a disease Kevin calls "thinkism". 31:25 - How the Amish have utilized an evidence-based method in their adoption of new technologies. 44:46 - Why technology that we create will always be weaponized in the end. 49:01 - Why Kevin believes that the evidence shows the increase of accessibility of and power in technology has not correlated with our ability to harm. 53:15 - How moral progress is a natural byproduct of technological progress. 57:26 - Why Kevin sees a fundamental transformation in how Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is thought about and utilized in people's lives. 1:05:25 - Why Kevin's futurology is much closer to simply noticing the present that it is divination. 1:15:20 - How moving away from improving everything's efficiency is against the very things we desire as humans. 1:23:35 - Why writing for Kevin is nothing but a means to an end to discovering his thoughts. 1:29:43 - How thinking with 'the long now' can help us become better ancestors and leave a better world for the future.

How to Use a Mentor Effectively What You Will Learn: How Kevin first became an entrepreneur in the early 1980s by way of his family business and how he grew and helped create an entire industry Why Kevin co-authored his book “Mentor to Millions” in an effort to teach others how to find and how to use a mentor effectively Why writing a bestselling book was a key goal Kevin set for himself, and how he and his own mentor Mark Timm created the book based on their relationship Why going all-in with your mentor and committing to being a good student is crucial for you to reap the rewards of the relationship What advice Kevin suggests for finding the right mentor to work with, and how he leveraged connections he already had to find one of his ideal business mentors Why now, even during the chaos of the global pandemic, is the ideal time to look for and begin working with a mentor What tremendous benefits you can receive as both a mentor and as a mentee, and why the relationship should be mutually beneficial Why it is important to be clear and set your expectations at the beginning of the mentor-mentee relationship What remarkable opportunities, business ventures, and networking growth Kevin was able to receive from being a mentor The Mutually Beneficial Power of the Mentor-Mentee Relationship The mentor-mentee relationship is about more than just learning from a more experienced, seasoned business professional. When done correctly, both parties can reap incredible rewards and discover new opportunities. These trusted relationships can lead to new business introductions and even new business ventures for both the mentor and the student. In this episode of Onward Nation, encore guest and “Original Shark” on Shark Tank Kevin Harrington discusses the broad benefits that make these relationships so rewarding, he discusses how to find and how to use a mentor effectively to get the most out of the relationship, and he shares stories of his own experiences both as a mentee and as a mentor to others. How to Find a Great Mentor Before you can learn how to use a mentor effectively, you have to find the right mentor that fits your business and its needs. As Kevin explained during the interview, the best way to find the ideal mentor is to explore your existing relationships with the lawyers, accountants, and other professionals you’re already working with. Your professional network knows your business and your values and can potentially connect you with a great mentor who would be a good fit for your business and its current challenges. As Kevin suggested, ask yourself who you write checks to and start mining those relationships. How to Use a Mentor Effectively Once you’ve formed a relationship with a mentor (or as a mentor with a new mentee), be clear and upfront about your expectations. As the mentee, it’s your job to prove to your mentor that you are their best, most attentive student. Respect the wisdom your mentor is willing to share, and take action based on their recommendations. If you “don’t have time” to follow their guidance, why should they spend the time mentoring you? Learning how to use a mentor effectively is about listening, communicating, and then following through. If you put in the effort, the rewards both you and your mentor will discover may surprise you.

The construction industry is one of the major contributors to the US (and global) economy. But schools are putting less priority on technical education for young adults who will soon occupy most of tomorrow’s workforce. People now have the choice to either get a 4-year degree from a college or immediately join the workforce right after graduating from high school. However, without having any practical skills, being able to find a fulfilling career (and build wealth) can prove to be challenging. So how do we address this kind of situation? That’s what we’re here to discuss in this week’s Construction Genius podcast with Kevin Dobson from Capital College & Career Academy (CAPCCA). He’ll share with us how CAPCCA intends to take a different approach in solving these education problems. Help shape the future of the construction industry by tuning in to this episode! What’s Discussed in This Episode: Why the educational system fails to produce qualified construction individuals [02:20] Having a degree doesn’t necessarily secure a high-paying job in the future [03:41] How CAPCCA is helping students build their resume from day 1 [06:46] By making classes more meaningful, kids will see the point of school [08:08] Fixing the educational system to better address the construction industry needs [05:29] Working with your hands can help you overcome challenges [11:03] Why children serve as the beacon of hope for the community [09:40] The school should represent the needs of the community [12:19] We need to start treating young adults as young adults [13:36] Molding students to become tradespeople at an early stage [11:40] What happens when students decide to shift career choices [15:27] Training students with construction skills early on saves resources [19:55] Investing in apprenticeship vs retraining employees [20:38] Why construction executives should put importance on apprenticeship [22:04] The advantage of graduating fresh out of college with actual work experience [17:52] Their projected class size starting S.Y. 2022-2023 [24:43] CAPCCA’s target launch date [23:45] CAPCCA looking to partner with prospective workforce trainers [25:52] Why Kevin went into teaching [27:50] How construction changed the life of a small family [29:18] Kevin’s favorite restaurant [30:22] About the Guest: Discovering his passion for teaching since high school, Kevin Dobson is dedicated to helping students excel in their studies and perform well by the time they enter the workforce. However, he has seen a dilemma in the current education system that seems to remain unaddressed to this day: despite the rapid advancements in technology and the world, the way of learning still stays the same. That’s why he founded the Capital College & Career Academy, a free public charter school dedicated to accelerating high school students in terms of career. It is slated to launch this coming January 2021 and offers technical education to its future students.

Feeling restless is simply your soul saying YOU ARE MEANT FOR MORE. This cosmic call means you have untapped potential, and is a nudge to connect to a higher purpose. Kevin Sweeney knows this restless feeling well, as his initiation into manhood led him into deep darkness and despair. After a series of transcendental experiences, he implemented massive changes in his life. Now, he's the pastor at the Imagine Church in Hawaii, and provides men and women with a loving, healing community. Show Notes: Why a man sees responsibility as an opportunity to enhance freedom Are your challenges in the way or on the way? Why we feel restless when we aren't living our purpose What principles Kevin has built his church around Why being present is more difficult than doing Why Kevin's podcast is named “The Church Needs Therapy” Kevin's philosophy as a pastor Why an illusion is a false belief about the future Can mushrooms be missionaries? Why pure and direct experiences of spirit, light, and love are more powerful than a belief Is it more important that you are right or that you are being real? Why the light has the ability for the truth of your light to emerge How to enter a conversation about religion without triggering defensive systems Why we need to be flexible and adaptable with belief systems to continue our evolution Why masculinity is intimately linked with power and control Kevin's advice for taking off “golden handcuffs” How many times do you need to experience the same thing before you realize it's not good for you? “Restlessness will emerge when you're not living with the kind of courage you need, to allow the truth of your own voice to emerge” - Kevin Sweeney Why what you do flows out of who you are Connect with Kevin Sweeney: Instagram | @kevinsweeney1 & @imaginehi Website | Imagine Church Podcast | “The Church Needs Therapy” Rising Man Links: Fire Circles | Are you ready to join other men JUST LIKE YOU who have found a way to RISE ABOVE life's challenges and create a life of purpose and fulfillment?

#41: Is it crazy to quit a high-paying law firm job to take a lower-paying law job (not in a law firm)?The majority of lawyers will say no. Because that’s what most lawyers who start their careers in law firms do! Whether it’s for better hours, better balance, less travel, whatever.Now, is it crazy to quit being a lawyer to do something completely non-law related?Again, most lawyers will say no – because tons of lawyers do exactly that.But: is it crazy to quit the law to…deliver for DoorDash, shop for Instacart, be a dog walker, or recharge Lime scooters?The first time I read today’s guest’s story, I admit I thought so. Why would you seemingly throw away a promising legal career to be a manual gig laborer, when there are plenty of folks who would dream about doing the opposite?Then I realized two things.I should be the last person to critique this because I myself “threw away” a legal career for a totally non-law path. Granted, I didn’t do it for manual labor, but it also wasn’t conventional by any means.It’s not my place (or yours or anyone’s) to judge the career choices of others. What makes people happy is their personal decision alone, and no damn business of anyone else’s!Interviewing today’s guest for the podcast just made that even clearer.This week, I talk with Kevin Ha, a prolific side hustle expert, about why he quit the law to pursue a unique path to financial independence. He generates income both from his blog and through side hustles (which he often blogs about), each of which separately and independently replaced his full-time salary from his last job.We discuss:Why Kevin quit the law without a traditional FIRE portfolio already in placeHow Kevin defines financial independenceWhy he doesn’t view gig economy side hustles as manual laborHow he makes side hustles fit super efficiently around his schedule to minimize time spentHow he structures his daytime hours now without a traditional jobHis technique for letting go of the “prestige trap” (notorious among lawyers), despite graduating with honors (and law review) from law schoolWhether Kevin would have gone to law school again knowing what he knows nowDo you agree with Kevin’s philosophy on FI? Even if you would not have made the same choice, do you see merit in this path? If not, why?

Most legacy HR software is complicated, costly, takes forever to get up and running, and worst of all seems to neglect one of its primary concerns – people. Zenefits changes this by bringing everything HR into one radically simple app, including the human element. Today we chat with Kevin Marasco, CMO at Zenefits about its unusual growth story, while also digging into his accidental journey into marketing as well as his favorite hobby – ultra-marathons! Kevin starts out by telling us how he switched from engineering to marketing and software development as a student, thereafter stumbling into what became a 15 year-plus path through multiple exits with different high growth SaaS companies. From there, we get into the tumultuous and controversial story of Zenefits, touching on its pivot from an online insurance broker to HR SaaS platform and Kevin’s take on its 2016 scandal. Kevin takes us on a deep dive next into what exactly Zenefits does as an HR platform built for people, weighing in on its quick onboarding process and services in the fields of compensation, performance, and wellbeing. After hearing about pricing models, growth metrics, and an updated strategy for increasing organic reach at Zenefits, we dig into Kevin’s passion for ultra-marathons. He talks about why he started them, how they have helped in a charitable as well as a personal sense, and how he honed his skill for them in no time using a continuous improvement formula!

It's an honor to have the one and only Kevin Zinger on the show today! Kevin is an entrepreneur who has been driving the skate, surf, and punk rock cultures in San Diego for years. He manufactures clothing, manages bands, produces films, curates art exhibitions, and even has a syndicated radio show! Kevin grew up in Southern California dreaming to be a pro surfer, and while he made cash from his sponsorships each month he was smart enough to realize early on that it wasn't going to be viable as a career choice. His surfing did introduce him to bands like The Offspring, Pennywise, and Sublime, in their fledgling phases though. He began to bring bands like these to his hometown to play at packed venues he was too young to get into for 5 dollars a ticket! Keven shares how this early love for organizing gigs became the center of multiple passion projects that linked art, music, and fashion — while earning him a living too! He has some great stuff to share with us today about how doing what you love may not always make you a millionaire but why that shouldn't stop you. We also get into Kevin’s love for surfing and boxing, hearing the central place they occupy in his life, and he doesn’t leave out some of the gnarly bangs and scrapes he has experienced along the way. Kevin also shares some of the wicked new films he is producing as well as artists he is working with, so hit that play button and get ready for the ride! Key Points From This Episode: The special thing about art and how Kevin and Scott can’t get enough of it. How Kevin fell in love with art while immersed in the different subcultures in California. The central place of art and passion in Kevin’s self-made multifaceted career. How Kevin got into organizing gigs working with bands like Pennywise and The Offspring. What defines the word ‘artist’ and how it’s broader than making conventional art. Why being able to occupy different worlds is central to Kevin’s career. Honesty and hard work are key factors to Kevin’s success. More than making millions, Kevin is trying to help artists not have to get a day job. A discussion of the actual profit that Kevin would make by organizing a seemingly big event. Typical artist profits and exploitations, and the reality that all that glitters isn’t gold. The central role that surfing and boxing have in Kevin’s mental health and productivity. Being a surfer was key to the connections Kevin made in the early days of his career. How Kevin nearly lost his ear in a horrific surfing accident crashing into a novice longboarder. What Kevin’s dad taught him and did to become his biggest life inspiration. How Scott and Kevin’s natures saved them from partying hard but not ruining their lives. The details of a binge drinking session with Scott’s friends and Man One in Chicago. A discussion about Kevin’s two new graffiti documentaries. Kevin’s perspectives about profit and relevance in his new documentaries. What stopped Scott making an art film about Kevin Feldman’s Boeing 747 at Burning Man. Scott’s take on Burning Man’s ephemerality, surreality, and communal spirit. Why Kevin hasn’t been to Burning Man yet but might go still. A blow-by-blow account of a crazy art experience Scott had involving drones at Burning Man. What makes Amigo The Devil the best songwriter Kevin has found in decades.

Hey all!As many of you know, earlier this year I was very blessed to be given the opportunity to interview Kevin Hines (international suicide prevention speaker and award-winning filmmaker) for the 2nd volume of my book series, 'Reasons to Live: One More Day, Every Day.' If you've already checked out my new book, you'll be able to read a snippet of this interview in the book, however, I also wanted to release the raw audio file as there was so much great content that I think would really be of interest to those passionate about mental wellness. Although this recording is unfortunately not to the quality of most of my podcasts (due to some tech difficulties that came on the day with a last-minute location change), there are still plenty of fascinating discussions throughout this episode that are worth listening to. So I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes listen into our published interview! In this episode, we discuss:How Kevin positively manages his bipolar, and why he doesn't see it as something to 'suffer' from Why Kevin admitted himself into psychiatric care earlier this year & how he had skyrocketed into such severe mania, that he - at times - couldn't even recognise his wifeHow caregivers can better care for their own mental health while looking after their loved ones (like Kevin's wife Margaret)His thoughts on lived-experience organisations who censor survivors voicesAnd whether there's any validity to the idea that talking about suicide increases suicidalityTo find out more about Kevin and Margaret Hines' life-saving work, head to: http://www.kevinhinesstory.com/Purchase a copy of 'Suicide the Ripple Effect' at: http://www.kevinhinesstory.com/suicide-the-ripple-effect

Over the past few weeks, we’ve had a “shake-up” on the show. We had several weeks in a row of freewheeling discussion with two of my assistants, Tiffany and Adrian, and my son, Sean. To please the long-time listeners, some of whom aren’t thrilled with this new style of episode, we’ve decided to launch a second podcast. That way, if you want to tune into the freewheeling silly stuff, you can do that. And if you want to hear the more serious business and copywriting stuff, you can do that too. Stay tuned over the next few weeks to learn more about the new podcast. Click here to download or listen to this episode now. Spiritual Foundations: Today on Spiritual Foundations I discuss… (1:55) Is it wrong to pray for your business? Many Christians I know think it’s greedy and selfish to ask God for material gain. Here’s what Peter has to say about it. (2:40) Why prayers about our worry and our prosperity change us. This change of perspective helps us see how God can communicate to us his plans for our prosperity in business. (3:10) A powerful method for building your faith and seeing more answers to your prayers. This works. I’m absolutely sure of it! Ray's Tip Of The Week This week I want to tell you about Cardflow Plus. (3:30) It’s an iPad app that’s helping me storyboard my videos. I like doing this on paper, but when that’s not an option, this app is saving the day. (3:55) It’s like a stack of virtual 3×5 index cards you can use for speeches or book outlines. It’s very versatile and easy to use. Check it out at http://www.qrayon.com/home/cardflow/. Episode Sponsor: Are you stuck in a humiliating, soul-sucking job? I’ve had the privilege of helping a small group of remarkable people transition from a job they hate to a fulfilling and financially rewarding career. For example… Dr. Douglas Pew, a composer and conductor whose music was performed at the Kennedy Center. He’s well on his way to becoming an A-list copywriter. Mike Kim, the branding expert who turned the company he worked for completely around, made it prosperous, then started his own company, a hit podcast, and now runs marketing for John Maxwell’s team. Sara Anna Powers, who left her six-figure job as an attorney and started her own freelance writing practice. She runs her own live boot camps and high-end coaching programs and is set up for her first million dollar year! There’s one thing these 3 real writers have in common. They are all graduates of my Certified Copywriter Program. If you’re reading to trade your boring 9 to 5 straightjacket job for a life you love, this could be the new beginning you've been hoping for. 3 good reasons to become a Ray Edwards Certified Copywriter. Establish your credibility. It’s hard to stand out in today’s market as a copywriter. Borrow my credibility and my reputation when you’re certified by me. I put my name under yours. Get more leads. The toughest part of this business is getting leads. We get lots and can’t handle them all. Would you like to get high quality leads from us? Multiply your income instead of growing your copywriting business incrementally. Why not grow exponentially? Don’t just add your income, multiply it. Go to RayTraining.com to learn more. Well, we’re offering a new service through my agency, Inklings, LLC. RayEdwards.com/CopyFix. Feature Presentation: In my conversation with world-class copywriter Kevin Rogers, you’ll discover… (5:50) How my guest went from a dead-broke stand-up comedian to a world-class copywriter. The simple joke formula he used to make the transition. (6:50) Why Kevin dropped out of high school and what he did instead. How being away from school helped him buckle down and study what he really loved. (8:45) Why stand-up comics posses a magic few others can grasp. It’s an outrageous phenomenon that causes a stranger to entertain a crowd of people with nothing but a microphone and some words. (10:46) Why vomiting before every performance, even in his 70s, meant Henry Fonda still had his head in the game. Without this one thing, you can get complacent and lose your edge. (11:40) The twisty-turny journey that took Kevin from comedy to copywriting guru-hood. How his amazing mentors helped him bridge the gap and reach the top of the field. (13:15) How stalking his favorite copywriter turned into a master-apprentice relationship. It helped him discover his unique copywriting identity and create a memorable platform. (19:05) The simple teachings in one of Dan Kennedy’s book that crystallized Kevin’s marketing learning. You can read piles of marketing books and never quite be sure you’re getting it right until you learn these simple truths. (20:45) How “not being desperate” does more for getting a sale than almost everything else. The manner of delivery is crucial and more important than almost any other marketing tactic. (23:15) Why the copywriting industry is filled with some of the most humane, caring, helpful people. It has to do with where we all came from at the start of our careers. (25:25) The secret reason why giving away your best stuff brings you fantastic rewards at least nine times out of ten. It’s the kind of behind-closed-doors strategy that makes us some of the most blessed freelancers in the world. (27:10) Why copywriters know more about abundance than the abundance guys do. A real-life example of a big-name personal development expert who secretly hates his customers and why copywriters are not really in competition with each other. (28:25) How a copywriting legend gave Kevin a chance to shine and helped him overcome imposter syndrome. It took an incognito trip to Chicago, a clipboard, and a little white lie to make it happen, but it happened. (35:45) The copywriter community Kevin built and where he now gives his full-time attention. It’s a gated, paid community where he shares all his greatest teachings, coaching, and encouraging to up-and-coming copywriters. (39:45) How Kevin’s community brings together the good copywriters who need better clients and business owners who need good copywriters. It’s a safe, win-win place where business marriages happen all the time. (44:50) The biggest challenge Kevin sees new copywriters struggling with and how to overcome them. It’s the one thing that makes great copywriters good at writing yet full of fear. (46:15) Why it’s crucial for copywriters to have swagger and humility at the same time. The unique working environment requires these two seemingly opposite traits and what copywriters can do to make sure they keep them in balance without being eaten alive by either. (48:10) The biggest challenge Kevin sees business owners struggling with when looking for a good copywriter. Disaster happens without this crucial understanding, in spite of good intentions. (50:10) Why thinking of copywriters as expensive “wordsmiths” is the single most deadly idea a business owner can have with regard to hiring a copywriter. It has to do with a profound, tweetable truth Kevin shared Resources RayTraining.com http://www.qrayon.com/home/cardflow/ Subscribe to the show through Apple Podcasts and give us a rating and review.

GroupRaise is an online platform that helps groups raise money for the causes they care about by eating at restaurants. I previously interviewed two of the other founders of GroupRaise, Devin Baptiste and Sean Park, in Episode 5 and Episode 31 of Crossing Borders, so please check out those podcasts if you are interested in learning more about GroupRaise. In this episode, I sat down with Kevin Valdez, one of the co-founders of GroupRaise to learn more about how he moved to the US from Guatemala in middle school, helped build the family business, and eventually joined Devin and Sean to found GroupRaise. From the Guatemalan countryside to Houston, Texas When Kevin Valdez was twelve years old, his family moved from a rural small town in Guatemala to a small town outside of Houston, Texas. At the time, Kevin spoke no English and his family of five shared a single room in his aunt’s house. However, Kevin is proud to come from a “family of entrepreneurs,” and it did not take long for his mom and aunt to begin building an international business to sustain their family by delivering packages to Guatemala. Working in the family business taught Kevin to be extremely customer-focused, as he watched his parents take phone calls at all hours to help Guatemalan families in the US. Creating opportunities for other Latin American students Kevin frequently looks back at his childhood in Guatemala and considers his classmates who did not move to the US and receive the same opportunities as he did. While at university, Kevin attended a talk by former Mexican President Vicente Fox who reminded him that for every Latin American student who made it to the US, there were ten more who would love to be in their shoes. Kevin is inspired to work hard to help give other students in Latin America the opportunity he received and to uncover the untapped potential in the region. Getting GroupRaise to 10,000 restaurants and beyond in 2018 GroupRaise is already connected to 9000 restaurants in the US, and employs a team that spans Chile, the US, and the Philippines. Having worked at the family business since he was fifteen, with an outsize role since his parents didn’t speak English, Kevin is used to managing many projects at once. However, he struggled to drop the do-it-yourself mentality when it came to growing the business and had to learn to efficiently manage a team so he could focus on strategy. As GroupRaise reaches the 10,000 restaurant mark, Kevin is dreaming big; he thinks GroupRaise will be active in 25,000 restaurants in the next few years. Kevin’s unique perspective as a Guatemalan immigrant and child of entrepreneurs helped him gain the confidence to found GroupRaise and manage their Houston office. Check out the rest of the episode to find out how Kevin plans to empower students across Latin America to uncover the potential of the region!

You have to do self care...just take some time by yourself, a time to reflect on things. - caller Tenisha, Queens, NY episode #114 “Sometimes we wait and wait, even waiting on someone else to make the decision...when in reality we need to just jump out the window and make the decision for ourselves.” - Kevin Y. Brown episode #114 “Being consistent means you are sometimes going to have to operate without all of the information.”- Kevin Y. Brown episode #114 “Being an entrepreneur still applies to life. So whether you are starting a new company or if you say hey, I’m going to create a different type of life for myself, you are still in startup mode. You yourself as a person are a startup to an extent.” - Kevin Y.

Brown episode #114 Kevin Y. Brown’s top ten (at least) ways to stay consistent: Have a morning ritual. Schedule it. Do things even when you don't feel like it. Forgive yourself. Take responsibility for the process, not the results. Allow yourself to grow into who you want to be. Post your goals and your reminders in your environment. Tell your friends and social media community what you are up to. Keep your eye on your why. Set specific goals. Set boundaries. Celebrate your wins. Focus on progress and not perfection. Don’t have an all or nothing mindset. Have a night routine.

Today's interview is with the long-time friend of Amy's, Kevin Clegg. Kevin is a successful businessman, father and serves on the Board of Directors at A Child's Hope Foundation. Be sure to like A Child's Hope Foundation on Facebook. Particularly today, as you listen, pay attention to: Specific feelings in your heart What your mind tells you to do next Then, be sure to write that down for guidance on your personal journey. Be sure to share your feedback with me Show notes: Finding a way to give more to the community and the world is a way to discover more of your talents and gifts to the world. Kevin's request on Giving Tuesday... and the surprise from others that came from that! How Kevin and his family found the organization and how that changed his family's perspective on holiday giving. Why Kevin talks about "The Kids" over again. How the Clegg family began to make repeat visits regularly. The timeline of the trips to make and travel looks something along the lines of... Tuesday night travel together. Wednesday- Friday schedule. Saturday family fiesta time! How you can help even if you have no idea how to work with construction/industrial tools. The main goal is to engage in the role of aunt/uncle or cousin of the kids in the orphanages to help. The recommended age to bring your children to help and have a complete experience to serve and give in the projects. Kids connect can throughout the entire week. The group of family friends, like-minded people, that becomes friends and has reunions. How Paul Cook started the organization with a group in Haiti. The story of one man helping over 1,200 kids. The vision of the organization: Connecting kids with families. Back to their families, to a relative, adopted to another family, or giving them the best family experience within the orphanage to be able to have a good life afterward. And how they are bringing this vision to fruition. Why money isn't always the solution to this situation. Relationships are a critical component of the effort. One of the challenges they face is: "Who can give what to help these kids?" Matching the right person with the right opportunity. They are completing over 25 trips with over 1,000 volunteers this year. Why Kevin is so lit up to talk about this. How the energy he receives from giving in this capacity overflows into other areas of his life. He has seen this evidenced in his own life. The passion that he has seen throughout this experience. "Goodness happens when you're trying to give to others." People want to learn more and are attracted to your energy when you have that passion. "It's never exactly what you expect either." "Connecting orphans with the givers who will help them thrive." Why they work to make it affordable to give. It's about making sure to help families have this experience. This is not a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We want you to come back again and again. You can get your questions answered at ACHF.org. Closing: Find a way to have an experience, give more to the world, and come alive. When you enrich a woman's life, you impact her entire circle of influence.

Kevin Ogar is the Owner and Head Coach of CrossFit WatchTower. Kevin is a Level-3 Certified CrossFit Trainer, and is a member of the CrossFit Level 1 Seminar Staff. Kevin has accomplished the incredible feat of qualifying for the CrossFit Regionals four times, finishing as high as 6th in 2012. Outside of CrossFit, Kevin serves as Vice President of the Reveille Project, which aims to ease veteran's transition to civilian life by instilling holistic lifestyles into their routines post-active duty. In January of 2014, Kevin suffered a life changing spinal cord injury during a fitness competition and has overcome great odds to get to where he is today. Kevin performing a snatch pre-injury. Kevin's accident occurred while performing a 3 rep max hang snatch during a fitness competition. Being one of the better snatchers in the sport of CrossFit at the time, this was nothing new or out of the ordinary for Kevin. Kevin opened up the snatch event at 235 lbs, which was a weight that he could hit consistently under normal circumstances. During this episode, Kevin takes us though the moments that led up to his injury. Specifically, he discusses how the slant in the lifting platform caused him to not stick the catching of the weight overhead. Upon trying to bail out from underneath the unstable weight, the bar hit Kevin's left shoulder, which caused the bar the hit the weights stacked behind him, ultimately causing the bar to then bounce off the weight stack like a rocket right back at him severing his spine between T-11 and T-12. Kevin describes the intense pain he felt immediately after the bar hit him in the back. He said it felt like every inch of his body felt like it was on fire. After being transported to a near-by local hospital, doctors later told him that the injury caused him to be paralyzed from the waist down. Kev opens up about the wave of emotions that understandably ensued after this moment. Although lucky to have survived the initial impact from the bar, Kevin wasn't completely in the clear once he got to the hospital. Kevin's injury required an extremely risky surgery called a thoracotomy because any more trauma to the spine would have killed him due to the onset of shock. He was given a 15-18% chance of surviving this first surgery. Most people die from lack of oxygen or blood loss in this surgery, but Kevin believes the only thing that kept him alive was his fitness level before the injury because his body was so efficient at processing oxygen. After surviving the surgery, Kev then only had a 25-35% chance of surviving the complications from that surgery. Kevin obviously overcame these odds and described how a lot of things on the day of his injury actually worked in his favor rather than against him. For example, the doctor who performed the surgery wasn’t even supposed to be working that today and he just happened to be the second best spinal surgeon in the US. In addition, Kevin grew up with the Vice President of Craig Hospital in Denver, Colorado is a world-renowned rehabilitation hospital that exclusively specializes in the neuro-rehabilitation and research of patients with spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury (Kevin Pearce from episode 57 also did his rehab at Craig). While at Craig, Kevin wasn't satisfied with just surviving because he wanted to be thriving. Kevin has never been someone who was okay with not being able to do something or excel at it. The toughest thing to cope with at Craig was realizing how much he had lost after doctors performed the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) motor/sensory exam which aims to take stock of the extent of paralysis. This was difficult for Kev because it pointed out everything that he had lost after the injury. Luckily, this injury wasn't the only adversity he had ever faced in his life. During our conversation, Kevin talked about how despite getting kicked out of college twice, there was something positive that came out of each of those negative situations. One of those positives were meeting his fiancé who he has been with for 10 years. Figuring his spinal cord injury was probably the worst thing that will ever happen to him, he is determined to generate the best outcome possible. Below are some of the other topics we touch on throughout our conversation: The importance of maintaining a sense of humor. The similarities between athletes and veterans based on what he has seen with the Reveille Project. Both groups are coming from a background of purpose, a situation of structure, a brotherhood/community. All of which are usually lost in the transition to civilian life and can be forged through CrossFit. Barbell Shrugged Interview from a few years back (6 months post injury) Mark Bell's recent podcast interview with Kev: How Kevin got kicked out of college twice and what/who turned him around. The multiple sports Kevin played growing up. Basketball (main sport) Swimming Baseball Soccer Football Rugby (college) Safe tackling tactics in Rugby. What got Kevin into CrossFit. “Man I really suck at this, maybe I should give it another shot." Kevin's current aspirations of qualifying for the Paralympics in bench press. 430-440 lbs (touch-and-go) 395-405 lbs (competition) How Kevin avoids overtraining. Good at listening to his body. Changing planes, intensities, etc. The challenges Kevin faced on his quest to getting on the CrossFit level 1 seminar staff. Difficulties in learning how to coach from a chair. Why Kevin sometimes allows himself to have a bad day, but he doesn’t ever let is affect the next day. WHERE CAN YOU FIND Kevin ogar?

Kevin Bupp is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and real estate expert. Since 2010 Kevin has been focussing his attention on the mobile home park market, the results of which he has happily agreed to share with me today. Throughout his entrepreneurial journey, Kevin has always returned to real estate, a market he calls ‘one of the easiest ways to create true wealth'. Now that he has made the leap to mobile home parks, his only wish is that he had done it sooner! Listen now to hear my chat with Kevin, including; how he dealt with the economic recession, his chance move to mobile home park investing, and most importantly his best and transferable techniques to close those important deals. Key Takeaways [03:17] Kevin's real estate journey. Got into real estate at 19 years old Began his real estate journey with single family homes. He was in the business for 5 years before he bought his first multifamily home. [4:48] The recession and a two-year hiatus. Took a couple of years away from the real estate market following the crash. Worked on some different markets, including health & fitness and fashion. A chance meeting got him interested in the mobile home park market. [05:51] ‘The biggest small project I ever worked on'. How he found his first mobile home park deal. Various partnership structures. He always has at least one business partner. [10:07] Raising money for his first deal. His credit was shot following the economic crash. Former investor helped to finance his first park. It was important to make his investor feel safe. [11:47] Why Kevin decided to go back into real estate He believes it is still one of the easiest ways to create true wealth. Only way to get back to the lifestyle he was used to. [14:17] Lessons learnt from the recession. Single family homes are very inefficient. Mobile home parks provide scalability. He wishes he had started buying multifamily sooner. [19:17] So what's so great about mobile home parks? Some unique barriers to entry. They don't build them anymore. The only commercial asset class with a diminishing supply. It's affordable housing, a market with a growing demand. Tennent turnover rate is low because homes are expensive to move. [22:20] Park management and scalability. There are not many professional management companies for mobile home parks. Kevin has his own internal management structure. On-site manager who lives in the park. [24:53] Where Kevin finds his on-site managers. Look for tenants who maintain their homes, displaying ‘pride of ownership'. You can also hire managers from outside, but they must live in the park. [26:25] Finding new deals in the mobile home park market. Majority of his deals are found off-market. Utilizes direct mail and cold calling to target potential park sites. Identifies target market first [30:07] Techniques and tips for finding owner information. Using TLO.com you can find out nearly any person's contact information. The information gained in this way is very accurate (but you have to meet TLO criteria). [37:40] What would Kevin tell his younger self? Buy multifamily homes and stay away from the single family market. [41:25] What Kevin is most excited about right now It is a unique time for the industry. It's a great time to be buying mobile home parks.

Do we shape tech or does it shape us? Turns out it is both. And that is just 1 of the 12 big ideas Kevin Kelly explores in his latest bestseller, The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future. The Inevitable is a playbook to guide us through the seismic changes in life and work, caused by technologies becoming exponentially faster and smarter. Kelly, Co-founder, former Executive Editor, and now Senior Maverick at Wired Magazine, takes us on a futuristic -- and highly believable ride -- from start to finish. Former publisher and editor of Whole Earth Review and Cool Tools, he is the author of other thought-provoking and visionary books, like New Rules for the New Economy, Out of Control, The Silver Cord, and What Technology Wants. Kelly embodies what it means to be curious! In this interview, we talk about: Why continual tech upgrades will make us perpetual newbies Why Kevin favors protopia, instead of utopia or dystopia What it means to cognify Why artificial intelligence is a feature, not a bug Why we want and need the different kinds of intelligence that comes with AI How we will work with robots to solve big problems How robots will free us up to be artists, scientists, inventors, and creatives How many of our jobs will be to invent jobs for the robots around us How our technology places us in streams and flows that are dynamic, interactive, and chronological Why personalization and immediacy will be better than free How filters may negotiate on our behalf and sharpen our understanding of who we are Why virtual reality is about presence and, more importantly, interactivity Why one day anything that is not interactive will be considered broken How interactivity will one day extend beyond our bodies to our emotions, facial expressions, voices, and more Why if it matters, we will be able to tell whether it is human or nonhuman Why tracking is inevitable and transparency around our data is a must What Kevin means by covalence when it comes to our data How we will come to a deeper, more nuanced understanding of privacy Two things Kevin worries about As AIs become more capable and integrated into our lives, how will we treat them? As cyber conflicts and cyber wars continue, what rules will we establish? How will our technology change us? The importance of thinking much longer term than a generation or a corporate quarter What a global government might look like and how we might get there Selected Links to Topics Mentioned @kevin2kelly http://kk.org/ Wired Whole Earth Review Protopia Game of Thrones The Third Wave by Steve Case The Quantified Self The Fitbit Blockchain Bitcoin Boston Dynamics Quadrupeds Star Trek If you enjoy the podcast, please rate and review it on iTunes.

On today’s podcast Jon Hamm discuss the following topics:Kevin Durant leaving, Why Kevin?!, Hott Hamm takes, What should Presti do with Russ?, Why we should be optimistic…, And more!
Kevin and Stefan talk to Andrew Mitrovica, a journalist from iPolitics.ca as well as 23 years experience in the mainstream media in Canada including the CBC’s fifth estate, CTV’s W5, CTV National News — where he was the network’s chief investigative producer — the Walrus magazine and the Globe and Mail, where he was a member of the newspaper’s investigative unit. Andrew has won numerous national and international awards for his investigative work. Kevin and Andrew discuss the disconnect between the relative threat and coverage in the mainstream media between 'terror' and climate change. More people are killed by sharks than by terrorists each year, and climate change threatens to end human civilization and yet the coverage in the media is almost perfectly reversed from the actual danger. Why? Kevin and Andrew explore... Also, Stefan and Kevin discuss the idea and role of 'hope' in social movements, with specific reference to the COP21 agreement that was just signed into not-law.
