Embracing the Aliveness Mindset: A Guide to Leading with Passion, Purpose, and JoyIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Show, host Josh Elledge conversed with Jack Craven, an executive leadership coach and author of "Aliveness Mindset: Lead and Live with More Passion, Purpose, and Joy." Their discussion explored leadership, emotional intelligence, and living a fulfilling life. This blog post distills key insights from their conversation, offering actionable advice to help you lead with more passion, purpose, and joy.Jack Craven's "Aliveness Mindset" emphasizes living and leading with passion and purpose. It involves reducing reactivity, accessing emotional intelligence, and aligning with true desires. Key themes include reducing reactivity through mindfulness practices, identifying core values by reflecting on peak experiences, and setting intrinsically rewarding goals. Craven also highlights the importance of perseverance, modeling your best self, and taking practical steps to experience more aliveness daily.To experience more aliveness, Jack advises listening to your heart, making heart-centered decisions, and prioritizing activities that make you feel alive. Reframe your perspective on your current role to find meaning, and be open to change if your current path isn't fulfilling. By staying committed to your values, trusting your instincts, and taking small actions daily, you can transform both your personal and professional life, leading with passion, purpose, and joy.About Jack Craven:With a diverse background as a trial lawyer, seasoned CEO, long time member of Young Presidents Organization (YPO) mindset author, distinguished executive coach, and C-Suite team facilitator, Jack Craven has spent the last 9 years leading countless CEOs and their C-Suite teams into more fulfilling, authentic lives.In his work over the past decade, Jack continually found what he personally experienced in his long-term CEO role–executives aren't necessarily satisfied with their lives but feel guilty asking for more because they know they are privileged and blessed. Through his “Living All In” philosophy, he has helped leaders and their companies reach the pinnacle of their potential. He aids leaders in honing their effectiveness and fulfillment by pinpointing drivers, strengths, and blind spots and helps them discover deeper purpose, joy, and happiness in their lives.

I do that with everything I believe in.In today's episode of Superpowers for Good, I had the pleasure of speaking with Navroze Mehta, Founder and CEO of Mela Artisans, about a mission very close to his heart and crucial to many: the empowerment of artisanal communities in India. Navroze shared the inspiring origins and impactful journey of Mela Artisans, a venture he co-founded with his daughter after a striking revelation about the decline of artisanal communities in India.Navroze explained, "From the years 1980 to 2010, we had lost 30% of our artisanal base." This alarming statistic drove him and his daughter to action, leading to the creation of Mela Artisans. Their goal was clear: to empower artisans, enabling them to continue their craft and pass it on through generations. This not only preserves the rich heritage of Indian crafts like woodcarving and metalworking but also sustains these communities economically."The most gratifying part of this," Navroze said, "is giving about 3,500 artisans full-time work every year." His company does more than just employ these artisans; it engages with them on a deeper level, providing infrastructure and support to help them thrive in their native settings without needing to relocate to urban centers.Mela Artisans stands out for its commitment to design excellence, which has led to their presence in high-end stores and mass-market retailers alike. Their products are a blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design, making heritage crafts accessible to a broader audience. "We want it not to be in a luxury bubble," he emphasized. "We want everyone to be able to afford these products."Navroze's approach to business is not just about preserving old techniques; it's about revitalizing them, ensuring they remain relevant and appreciated in a modern context. This philosophy underpins every beautiful piece that comes from Mela Artisans, turning traditional crafts into objects of desire for the contemporary home while supporting the artisans who make them.Join us in celebrating the artistry and entrepreneurial spirit that Navroze Mehta brings to the world of heritage crafts. His work not only beautifies homes but also enriches lives, making a tangible difference in the artisan communities of India.AI Episode Summary1. Devin Thorpe, the host of the Superpowers for Good show, introduces the episode and his guest, Navroze Mehta of Mela Artisans, a company supporting artisans primarily in India.2. Navroze Mehta details the founding of Mela Artisans by his daughter, Sonali Matharu, as a response to the decline of the artisanal community in India, aiming to preserve heritage crafts and empower artisans.3. The company's mission is to provide sustainable employment to artisanal communities and sell their handcrafted products in high-end stores and department stores across the U.S., making luxury products affordable and accessible.4. Navroze showcases various handcrafted items from Mela Artisans' product line, including a wooden bowl, a tray made of sustainable mango wood, jewelry boxes with bone or resin inlay, a candleholder combining multiple materials, and intricate marble and metalwork pieces.5. The discussion includes the expansion of Mela Artisans beyond India to source from artisans in Vietnam and Bali, Indonesia, increasing the variety of handcrafted products offered.6. Navroze explains the pricing of their products, emphasizing the goal to offer high-quality, luxurious items at reasonable, affordable prices without sacrificing craftsmanship.7. The relationship with artisans is based on empowerment rather than employment, with Mela Artisans facilitating infrastructure, financial education, quality control, and design innovation for artisan clusters.8. Mela Artisans is raising capital through a Regulation A Crowdfunding offering, allowing lower minimum investments from the public to participate in the growth and success of the company.9. The conversation shifts to discuss Navroze's superpower, which he identifies as a passion for making a difference, inspired by his father's example as a physician dedicated to serving those in need.10. Navroze recounts how Mela Artisans navigated the challenges of the pandemic, supporting their artisan and employee communities throughout the crisis, maintaining commitment to their mission of empowerment and craftsmanship.How to Develop Empathy, Passion, Persistence As a SuperpowerNavroze Mehta's superpower, as he shared in this episode, can be defined in three words: Empathy, Passion, Persistence.His superpower revolves around his deep-seated belief in empathy, passion, and persistence. Navroze described how these qualities have been essential throughout his career, from his medical ventures to his work with Mela Artisans. He credits his father, a maxillofacial surgeon who dedicated his skills to helping burn and cancer victims often without charge, as a significant influence on his development of these traits. This upbringing instilled in him the drive to use his abilities to make meaningful changes and give back to society.An illustrative story that showcases Navroze's superpower occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. Faced with canceled orders and a potential financial crisis for his artisanal community in India and his team in the United States, Navroze decided against layoffs. Instead, he ensured full payment for the artisans and transformed his company into a digitally competent entity on Amazon. This story highlights his commitment to his community and his ability to adapt and persist through hardships.To develop his superpowers as personal strengths, Navroze suggests:1. Be empathetic and compassionate in all your dealings.2. Approach everything with passion; immerse yourself completely.3. Do not easily accept defeat; perseverance is crucial despite challenges.4. Keep believing in your vision, even when others doubt it.By following Navroze's example and advice, you can make empathy, passion, and persistence a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileNavroze Mehta (he/him):Founder and CEO, Mela Artisans Inc.About Mela Artisans Inc.: Mela Artisans provides handcrafted festive lifestyle home decor rooted in the Indian tradition and fused with modern designs with a mission to preserve the age-old art forms through fair trade practices that enhance the livelihoods of the artisans.

Brenda led the seed funding, created a revenue share partnership with the company's largest client to fund the build of a mobile application for coaching deployment, and introduced financial discipline and rigor.

Linda Townsend, Founder of Release Well-Being Center Look for the Good we are talking with special guest Linda Townsend, Founder of Release Well-Being Center about the concept of synchronicity. You know those times in life when you feel really tuned and are really in that flow state. It feels like good things just seem to come to you effortlessly. All the right people, places and events show up in your life in perfect timing. That is the beauty of synchronicity. When you are in alignment with your intentions, the Universe seems to support you and gather all the right components to move you in the direction you want to go quickly and easily! Tune in as Linda shares her personal stories of this phenomenon as well as some expert advice on what to do when things are not going the way you want them to. Linda Townsend, Founder and President of Release Well-Being Center, had a dream – to bring together the many facets of holistic wellness in one location to meet a growing and unfulfilled need in metro west. Linda draws on her extensive background in the corporate environment, as well as her wellness knowledge and experience, to create an ideal “sanctuary” and community where individuals of any age and fitness level can find balance, purpose and well-being. She graduated as Valedictorian when she received her MBA from Northeastern University, has a BA in Journalism from Northeastern University and later received a Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching from William James College. After starting her career as an investigative newspaper and television journalist, then a marketing and sales executive for several high-tech companies, Linda was recognized for her work in the Young Presidents Organization (YPO), an international organization of more than 9,000 CEOs, for outstanding work coaching CEO peer groups. Trying to balance her career while raising three young children, she became attuned to the importance of consistent self-care (you must put on your own oxygen mask first before you can help others!), which led her to become a certified yoga instructor in 2007 and then an executive and life coach. Linda connected with a team of wellness experts to realize and expand her dream for Release Well-Being Center. Linda lives in Westborough, Massachusetts with her husband and three sons, and remains active in yoga, mindfulness, coaching, reading, gardening and volunteering. https://releasewellbeingcenter.com/ Learn More about Carrie here: https://carrierowan.com/
