The Whole Steward: Recent Episodes
Andrew Stanton
With 9 forms of capital under your care you may sometimes focus on one form more than others. You may find good success in that one area, but you might be neglecting one of the others. The goal of whole stewardship is to keep a balance between all. If you become too focused on one at the expense of another you will be out of balance and mismanage one over the other. It’s important to take an audit regularly to ensure a proper balance. In this episode I will give some examples of how this can happen, and what you can do to ensure a good balance reminder.

Good stewardship often means setting ambitious goals and working toward them. Spending time with others who do the same can help propel you forward in your own aspirations. Or it may open new opportunities to collaborate with like minded individuals. It’s often said you’re the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Today I sit down with Brandon Jones, and very ambitious leader running for governor of California and the founder of the Restore California movement. We address Business and leadership topics and well as the core issues facing our society and how Brandon intends to address them.

Many stewards and managers in ancient times were slaves. Sadly, the English word “slave” has been tainted by modern western slavery in America, Britain and elsewhere, thus making it hard to use that word without forming some notion of grotesque human oppression. But slavery is still prevalent and we must acknowledge its implications. We’ll look at The Slavery of Today today on the whole steward.

How do you feel about the cost of living where you live? Is it affordable, unaffordable, how does it compare with other places in the country or the world for that matter?

I'll tell you, and then talk about the affordability crises, today on the whole steward.
When it comes to the basics of life, there isn't anything more basic than food and water. Next is clothing and shelter.

As you know, I'm a real estate investor, so I enjoy talking all things real estate.
