Send us a textWhat if work isn't a grind to escape but a gift to offer? We dive into a deeper vision of labor—how Genesis reframes effort as worship, why comfort is a lousy north star, and how faithfulness over time produces fruit you can actually taste. Along the way, we talk about attention—the hours swallowed by phones and the way quick dopamine undermines deep craft—and share how to retrain your mind for long-haul focus. This isn't about romanticizing hustle. It's about restoring dignity to diligence and recovering the joy of building things that bless others.We pull from the stories of Joseph and Nehemiah to show what integrity looks like in rough seasons: excellence in small places, stewardship when no one is watching, and the determination to keep moving when bitterness tempts you to quit. We also explore practical shifts: why you should never waste inspiration, how to finish what you start, and the difference between band-aid job hopping and bridge-building side projects that open real doors. We talk property, responsibility, and dominion—owning your work, creating value, and handing something meaningful to the next generation.If your days feel flat, consider this your nudge to pick up the tools again.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery I connect three threads that shaped my week leadership work ethic and faith. I walk through a real conversation with my leaders a hard look at my own past and a shocking video that forced me to lead my family with clarity instead of emotion. The lesson is simple. When I keep my work ethic and my faith in place the results I call favor follow. When I chase favor without doing the work or I let distractions run me I lose my edge and I lose my peace. What Happened We met with a small group of team leaders at the office. I reminded them and myself that leadership is stewardship. It starts with how I lead me. It extends to how I lead my family and then my team. I shared my own story from 2018 when the business felt like it broke me. The economy shifted deals fell through agents left and I kept asking when things would turn. The answer was not out there. It was in my daily work and my faith in a bigger purpose than my next commission check. I also revisited an older wound. Years ago I opened my playbook to someone I brought in. He used that access to compete with me. I blamed him. The truth was I took my eyes off my path. I stopped studying. I stopped answering calls. I got complacent. Competition was a gift. It pushed me to evolve rather than gatekeep and stall. After the meeting I saw a graphic video of the killing of Charlie Kirk. It shook me. It brought back the day I was shot and almost bled out. That memory used to carry anger at a friend who froze instead of helping. Today I see his fear for what it was. I chose to lead my daughters through what they saw. I asked them how it made them feel. We talked about fear anger empathy and being human. The point was not to feed rage. The point was to feel the pain and still choose to do good and be good. The Lesson Results are not random. Favor is the byproduct of two things I control every day. Relentless work ethic and real faith. Work ethic means I show up with intention focus and persistence whether it is my health my marriage my clients or my team. Faith means I trust a bigger purpose while I do the work. If I chase favor without those two I become entitled and easily distracted. If I keep those two in place I can face setbacks and even public chaos without losing who I am. How I Apply It I audit my effort before I complain about results. If I am tired have I stopped doing the work to take care of me. If my marriage feels off what actions and attention did I drop. If business is slow where did I cut corners on calls study and skill. I choose conversations that build agency in my home and in my team. I lead through questions and action not through outrage. I keep moving with gratitude and conviction. That is how favor shows up. Conclusion The world will hand you distractions and hard moments. Your response will either drain you or grow you. Keep the standard. Do the work. Hold the faith. Favor follows. Lead yourself first. Lead your home. Then lead your business. That is how you live this message not just hear it. Reader Questions Where have you taken your eyes off your own path and started watching someone else What specific action today would prove your standard in your health marriage or business What conversation do you need to start with your family or team to turn emotion into leadership Notable Quotes “Leadership is a stewardship.” “Work ethic plus strong faith will create the favor.” “Something greater than your next commission check.” Follow A.Z.

Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.com Attend a Thriving Leader event: https://www.themomentumcompany.com/thrivingleader2025 Instagram: @the.momentum.company LinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this episode, Mark Jewell sits down with Paul Pittman, Executive Chairman of Farmland Partners, to explore what it means to lead intentionally in business and agriculture. From his journey growing up in a farm family to building the largest publicly traded farmland REIT, Paul shares powerful lessons on seizing opportunities, balancing vision with habits, and keeping perspective on agriculture's role in solving global challenges.Key TakeawaysHabits Over Long-Term Plans: Success isn't built on rigid 30-year plans, but on daily habits and the courage to seize opportunities when they arrive.Luck and Humility: Luck plays a major role in career success. Recognizing it fosters humility while reminding us not to discount solid “upper middle-class” achievements.Bridging Two Worlds: Paul combined his Wall Street deal-making expertise with deep agricultural roots to pioneer farmland investing through Farmland Partners.Agriculture's North Star: Feeding the world remains the industry's core mission, but the next frontier is improving nutritional quality alongside caloric and protein production.Intentional Leadership: True leadership comes from vision-driven individuals, not committees. Accountability, clarity, and a strong grasp of the other side's priorities are key to effective deals and relationships.Decision-Making Framework: Balance certainty with long-term goals—avoid chasing perfection, but don't settle for the easy path that drifts you off course.Work Ethic and Drive: A deep work ethic, instilled early by family, fuels resilience and the ability to take bold steps—even when that means quitting a “great” job to pursue true alignment.Notable Quotes“You don't set life goals—you set life habits that create the environment for success.” – Paul Pittman“If I need to teach you how to farm, I need a different tenant.” – Paul Pittman“The Sistine Chapel wasn't painted by a committee. It was painted by a guy.” – Paul Pittman“Being wealthy isn't about money. It's about happiness with your life.” – Paul PittmanAction StepsEvaluate your daily habits—are they aligned with the environment you want to create for success?Identify two or three “non-negotiables” in your business and relationships, and respect the same on the other side.Reflect on your career direction—are you drifting off course by taking too many “easy” decisions?Consider how your leadership style encourages accountability, vision, and individual responsibility.Listen If You AreA business or ag leader seeking lessons from someone who bridged Wall Street and farming.Interested in the future of agriculture—feeding the world and improving health.Looking for practical frameworks for negotiation, leadership, and decision-making.Curious about the mindset behind building a company from farmland roots to Wall Street success.

In this thought-provoking episode of "Father and Joe," hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey dive into the complexities of artificial intelligence and its impact on human relationships, work, and spirituality. They continue their discussion from the previous week, sharpening their focus on the socio-economic reasons behind AI's rapid growth and its ethical implications.Joe opens the conversation by exploring how AI is often implemented to replace high turnover roles rather than enhance employee productivity or improve workplace conditions. He raises concerns about using AI as a substitute for ethical treatment of employees, emphasizing that enhancing productivity should not come at the cost of human relationships and well-being. Automation, while beneficial for producing goods, should not be a means to avoid accountability for treating employees with dignity and respect.Father Boniface offers a spiritual perspective, reminding listeners that work's intrinsic value lies not in the outward results but in its ability to form character and virtue in individuals. He emphasizes the eternal significance of personal growth over material production, advocating for an economy that centers around people rather than profits.The episode explores the ancient wisdom that human dignity and relationships must remain paramount. With anecdotes from sales and real-world applications of AI, Joe and Father Boniface discuss how an ethical application of these technologies can serve humanity. They caution against reducing people to mere production agents, a theme resonant with historical reflections from Pope Leo XIII and Pope John Paul II, urging listeners to consider how automation should be integrated thoughtfully into both personal and professional spheres.In a world where AI can deliver B+ answers, they argue, the objective shouldn't be to automate love and human interaction. Instead, they propose fostering environments where development is experiences-based, incorporating AI as a tool rather than a replacement for personal engagement. Father Boniface shares his unique experiences of leveraging AI for personal intellectual growth while maintaining the primacy of human relationships and critical thinking.As the episode concludes, Father Boniface and Joe reinforce the notion that the economy should pivot around human growth and ethical practices—not monitory gain. Encouraging listeners to engage in thoughtful dialogue and explore AI's potential responsibly, they hope to inspire a culture that truly values love and human interaction above technological efficiency.Tags:AI Discussion, Automation, Human Relationships, Spiritual Growth, Ethical AI, Artificial Intelligence, Economic Impact, Work Ethics, Podcast Discussion, Father and Joe, Technology and Humanity, Moral Philosophy, AI Ethics, Labor and AI, Workplace Well-being, Team Dynamics, Human Dignity, Pope Francis, Pope John Paul II, Sales Ethics, Personal Growth, Spiritual Reflection, Podcast Episode, Father Boniface, Joe Rockey, Love and Production, Human-Centered Economy, Virtue Development, Intellectual Growth, AI Mistakes, Public Discourse, AI Advisory, Tech in Society, Socio-economic Debate, Moral Implications, AI Integration, Ethical Conversations, Understanding AI, Relationship Building, Modern Challenges, Hashtags:#ArtificialIntelligence #AIandEthics #HumanRelationships #AutomationImpact #SpiritualGrowth #WorkplaceEthics #PodcastDiscussion #FatherAndJoe #TechAndHumanity #MoralPhilosophy #AI #EconomicImpact #LaborAndAI #Teamwork #HumanDignity #PopeFrancis #PopeJohnPaulII #SalesEthics #PersonalGrowth #SpiritualReflection #PodcastEpisode #LoveAndProduction #HumanCentered #Economy #VirtueDevelopment #IntellectualGrowth #PublicDiscourse #AIAdvisory #TechSociety #SocioEconomicDebate #MoralImplications #AIIntegration #Conversations #UnderstandingAI #ModernChallenges #CommunityGrowth #EthicalAI
What does it really take to reach the top of an organization? Beyond the glossy titles and corner offices lies a culture of sacrifice, long hours, and relentless client demands that shape modern leadership. In this episode, we sit down with Pat Tomlinson, CEO of Mercer, to explore the realities of work culture, the growing “996” trend of long hours, and the sacrifices it takes to rise to senior leadership. Pat shares candid reflections on his own work ethic and why hard work, visibility, and flexibility remain cornerstones for career growth, particularly in professional services. From there, the conversation expands into major workplace shifts—declining birth rates, longevity risk, and the mounting pressures on healthcare and retirement systems. We also discuss the war for talent, the evolving role of employee experience and wellness programs, and the balance between organizational support and individual accountability. Finally, we explore AI's impact on work, why productivity gains require redesigning jobs rather than bolting on technology, and the cultural challenges leaders face in adopting these tools. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

This week, Jake and Bob continue their series on athletics, and welcome Bart Schuchts, a former D1 football player, to the podcast. Bart reflects on how athletics shaped his self-identity, beliefs, and relationships from childhood through his adult life. They also discuss sports culture, fear based coaching, and the fine line between healthy competition and idolizing sports. Ultimately, when approached with balance and intention, athletics can foster deep connection, personal growth, and spiritual insight that extends far beyond the game itself, enriching every aspect of life. Key Points: Athletic achievement is often tied to receiving love, affirmation, and attention in families, especially when there are older siblings who excel in sports. Sports can become an idol when one's entire sense of self-worth and identity is defined by performance and recognition. Sports teaches “conditional love,” when praise and acceptance are contingent on athletic success. A coach's coaching style can establish either a positive, formative atmosphere or contribute to wounding dynamics. The question “Am I lovable?” is often unconsciously brought to sports, and how one seeks to answer that can drive them to healthy mastery of athletics or unhealthy obsession. Healthy participation in sports fosters union and belonging. It also highlights both the best and worst ways we seek connection, love, and purpose.

You ever seen an old house and think, “Man, I'd love to fix that up.”? Or, an old truck, and imagine the day where you and your children would drive around in that thing? Or, maybe an old project you've been meaning to finish but never got around to it? My guest today, Tye Nichols, feels the same way. In fact, he's invested thousands of his own money to put into an abandoned golf course he's had visions of reviving. Today, we talk about his dream of reviving his golf course, Fairway Fields. We talk about finally believing in yourself, casting vision so other people will believe in you, overcoming doubters on your path, what to do when times get tough, and whether or not to “sell out” when it comes to chasing a dream.
