Many employers understand that their employees are the key to making their businesses successful. Yet, once those workers move on, companies typically don't keep in contact with them. Should they? In this episode, we speak with Kim Seymour, Chief People Officer of WW International Inc.(formerly Weight Watchers) and Jeff Wald, an angel investor, entrepreneur, and bestselling author, about the value of maintaining relationships with past employees and where the future of work as we know it might be headed. In her role, Seymour oversees all aspects of WW's human capital plan, with a strong emphasis on talent, leadership, diversity, and organizational effectiveness. She spent the previous two decades in HR leadership roles at American Express, Home Depot, and General Electric.

In 2020, Wald announced the $10 million Future of Work Prize that will reward The End of Jobs contributor whose prediction about what the workforce will look like in 2040 proves the most accurate. Seymour and Wald discuss what they think will be the COVID-19 pandemic's most lasting influences on the world of work, what shorter employee tenure means for company culture, and why we should be thinking about ex-employees as ambassadors.

Do you need a reset? I think a lot of us feel a certain drive to readjust our lives after this pandemic. Today's episode is about recognizing the need to reset yourself. Resetting is about gaining and regaining perspective and control when you're letting your emotions run wild.

During times of anger, frustration, and other negative emotions, create more inner peace by taking a step back and readjusting the trajectory of your thoughts. Tune in to learn why I have been thinking about resetting, what I do to reset, and times you may find resetting beneficial.

When was the last time you failed? To me, the words failure and success go hand in hand because without failure, we don’t have the opportunity to grow and learn from our mistakes to then fuel our success. In today's episode, I talk about overcoming failure in life. Failure, by definition, means not being successful. However, ‘success’ means something different to each of us because we all have different goals and desires that we are measuring this success by. Most people view failure as a bad thing, but really failure re-routes our life to areas of success. Instead of feeling slowed down by failure, use it as a motivation to keep working towards your goals. Listen to Episode 42 of Six-Pack, to learn about the times that I have failed, why failure is a motivation to me, and why failure is inevitable. In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why failure is a motivation to me (2:50)Not all failures are equal (6:00)What my failures taught me (10:36)Not to wallow in your pain (17:42)To take accountability for your actions (21:10)Let’s Connect!InstagramWebsiteFacebook See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The ultimate goal for every leader should be to help their subordinates reach their goals and accomplish their dreams. A magnificent tool for this is to show them we care about them and their success. How do we achieve that is quite simple, by improving our ability to prove our love. In today's episode, I want to talk about the teachings I've got from a book that helped me a lot in the past, The 5 Love Languages, by Gary Chapman. The book explains that there are five different ways to accept and demonstrate love better. Each person is unique and has a singular reaction to every love language. Some people feel love and care when they receive encouraging words about their work; others might prefer to receive a gesture, a gift, or simply be heard for a couple of minutes. The challenge for us, leaders, is to identify which one of the five languages of love the people working with us speak and show them our support in that same language. In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why it is essential to improve the way we show love (2:04)Every person speaks a different love language (3:50)The weight that words of affirmation can have (4:36)Actions speak louder than words most of the time (6:06)A tiny gesture that says a lot (7:23)The effect of spending some time with an employee (8:29)The importance of feeling connection (11:18)People tend to speak the love language they prefer (14:50)Resources:Book: Gary Chapman - The 5 Love LanguagesLet's Connect!WebsiteLinkedInInstagram Facebook See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Vodka is the top selling liquor sold in the US and is one of the world's most sold spirits. The reasons behind this are as many as its different styles and brands.

So what is the secret behind this spirits drink's success?In this episode, we blind taste six different vodka brands, and we describe our experience from the opening aroma before the first taste until after the liquor goes down our throats.

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a fantastic guest, Timothy who shares wisdom, insights, and knowledge about how to make a real difference, the importance of giving back, the role of education these days, stock market strategy, and the danger of earning a lot of money too quickly! Timothy Sykes is an entrepreneur, a world traveler, philanthropist, trading teacher and influencer, millionaire trader, and co-founder of Karmagawa, a charitable organization dedicated to saving the environment, endangered species, and more.  Through the Timothy Sykes Foundation, 35 schools have been built or are in development, in over a dozen countries around the world. He’s been featured in a variety of different media outlets, including CNN, CNBC, Fox Business, Fox TV, Forbes, Larry King, Men’s Journal, and Steve Harvey. Before Tim got into the education world, he failed in growing his hedge fund not realizing that he didn’t have the rules and risk management. He was always drunk and lost all his industry credibility. Until he found clarity and shifted his life. The opportunity came to him and started teaching people online, helping and showing everyone his trades. But Tim doesn’t teach people to be rich but teaches that success is in their failure. He makes video lessons on every single loss and mistake, as well as wins in trading. Shares photos, videos, knowledge, and posts that really hit people. Tim became a number one trader that earns a lot of money, as well as a mentor that he wished he had in the beginning.   However, he realized that it’s not only making the biggest bank account but taking care of his passion, helping his family and himself, and helping the world, make an impact, and make a real difference. His goal is to build thousands of schools. Now, have built 70 schools so far, trying to help one emergency at a time, and help communities that are involved. On the other side, despite this pandemic, Tim believes that this is the best time to educate yourself. It is by learning digitally and remotely. Take advantage and learn things to adapt to the new normal, and changes to do better. It’s always hard and messy in the beginning, but through sharing education in the world, nothing is impossible. In addition, every single person must have a goal to achieve. and it's okay to change goals and adopt new things. Challenge yourself, and do what fulfills you and push yourself. Charity becomes his new challenge after achieving all the material things he has ever wanted. This year, Tim donated all his trading profits to charity. But then warns that if you’re trying to get as much money as you can with nothing else, you might succeed but you will not be happy. It is using our humanity to our advantage rather than trying to do everything on your own and keeping other people out of your life.

What do the Jewish Feasts, prophetic Seals and Bowls from the book of Revelation, and an Earth-bound asteroid have in common? This is the question on the lips of every individual who sees the potential correlation between the impending coming of Christ and the imminent approach of the asteroid Apophis. When Jesus spoke of His return, He warned that the end of the age would be filled with war, pestilence, famine, and even catastrophic cosmic events which would permanently damage the Earth as we know it. We are warned in Revelation about the personified star, Wormwood, which will collide with our planet, bringing poison to our waters and death to one-third of humanity. With such looming threats above as the asteroid Apophis is now headed this way, could we be approaching the era in which Great Tribulation and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ finally unfold? And does a hidden message connected to Apophis indicate we have already entered that mysterious end-times countdown? IN THE MESSENGER, YOU WILL LEARN… • Why asteroids were seen by the ancients as the “Messengers” of God • The mysterious connection between Apophis and biblical prophecy • How Apophis is connected with demonic entities prophesied to make war with God • How forthcoming cosmic events could usher in the Great Tribulation period • What the Jewish Feasts decreed in the Old Testament have to do with the timing of the Rapture and end-times events • The correlation between ancient Jewish teaching, Founding Church Fathers, and Biblical Chronology which place the end of the world in the immediate future • How Jesus revealed Himself to mankind through the Feasts, and How He will complete this work at His return
