In this episode I want to talk about lessons I learned as I launched a new YouTube Channel.

Lessons:

-Instead of feeling overwhelmed by what you are doing, decide to double down. Do more, not less.

-Don’t worry about results in the short-term. Focus on Synergy

-Do not despise the day of small beginnings.

-Do what you want to do and you won’t feel like you are working is a lie, but that is OK.

-Experiment: See how long it takes you to do something new

-Find the upper limits of your capability if you want to be successful in life.

-Your first efforts will be your worst efforts

-There is only so much time in the day, and something will have to give. That is OK.

-Don’t worry about success, at least not at first. Look for the trends.

-Do something meaningful. Motivation leads to sustainability.

Ok, if you are watching this, you watched Part I where you learned Zelenskyy’s formula for uniting the world behind him as Russia invaded Ukraine and Zelensky united the Western Word behind him. In this episode I continue to unpack his speeches to show you how he did it. In all I cover roughly 30 speeches.

I wrote a book on President Zelenskyy because I found him to be an intriguing leader. You can find it here on Amazon:

The Russian-Ukraine war has raged for more than 8 weeks now. He has been the leader of the free world in defending democracy from aggression. How did he unite and unify the world? What did he say that caused the world to rally to his cause? In this episode (and the parts that follow) I will unpack his speeches to show you how he did it.

IS PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY GAY? A SATANIST? NO! HERE IS THE PROOF [EPISODE 214]

The Russian-Ukraine war has raged for more than 7 weeks now. I wrote a book on President Zelenskyy because I found him to be an intriguing leader. You can find it here on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Need-Ammunition-Not-Ride-Volodymyr-ebook/dp/B09VVW3NSV/ref=sr_1_1?crid=6YHOEVZ983NQ&keywords=i+need+ammunition%2C+not+a+ride&qid=1647625321&s=digital-text&sprefix=%2Cdigital-text%2C4098&sr=1-1

Since I wrote the book, I now get emails and DMs that ask, “Don’t you know Zelenskyy is a Nazi?” or “Is Zelensky a Soros plant?” Or my personal favorite, “I saw this video where he was dancing in drag. He is a gay Satanist.”

I will address each of these in turn. In the last episode I debunked the Nazi question. In today’s episode, I will address the gay and Satanist questions.

Here are the links I talked about in this episode:

Laura Logan calling Zelensky a puppet linked to the Nazis and occult:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/lara-logan-claims-e2-80-98puppet-e2-80-99-zelensky-was-e2-80-98selected-e2-80-99-in-unhinged-rant-linking-ukraine-to-the-nazis-and-the-occult/ar-AAV5QEz?ocid=uxbndlbing

Russia Retweeting Laura Logan for their propaganda:

https://twitter.com/CoE_Russia/status/1505529137607417856

Los Angeles Blade Article explaining that Zelensky was mocking Russia:

https://www.losangelesblade.com/2022/03/08/ukrainian-presidents-queer-parody-riles-american-evangelicals/

Reddit Meme:

https://www.reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook/comments/t9tik2/zelensky_is_satan/

Compare for yourself.

Are you parroting Russian propaganda? Where did you get your information? Don’t be a useful idiot. Triangulate on the truth and rely on verifiable sources.

Here is RT (Official Russian news in English).

https://www.rt.com/on-air/

By the way, you should know that the Russians passed a law penalizing the intentional spread of “fake news” with up to 15 years in prison. The law was designed to, “prevent the discrediting of the armed forces of the Russian Federation during their operations to protect the interests of the Russian Federation and its citizens, maintaining international peace and security.” The law made it illegal “to make calls against the use of Russian troops to protect the interests of Russia.”

Source: https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-fake-news-military-invasion-independent-media/31735798.html

Moreover, more than 15,000 Russians have been jailed for protesting the war in Ukraine over the last two months. Some were even jailed for holding up blank signs.

Source: https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-war-invasion-protests-police-arrest-activists-holding-blank-signs-paper-1687603?fbclid=IwAR0L_eDsj52OrCvqMt_C48lZhdVpGgKWGtXQoIpRfqucWk3Sna4jnTtdTZc

They banned Twitter, Facebook, and Google so Putin can control the narrative.

Think about that before spreading Russian talking points.

The Russian-Ukraine war has raged for 6 weeks now. I wrote a book on President Zelenskyy because I found him to be an intriguing leader. You can find it here on Amazon:

I will address each of these in turn. In today’s episode, I will address the Nazi accusation.

I will address it on two levels: Personally and governmental.

I am deeply impressed with President Zelenskyy of the Ukraine during the Russian-Ukrainian war. I've written a book about Zelenskyy’s leadership.

In this episode I want to talk about his first major strategic mistake. He's done almost everything right up till this point. I'll explain what it is, why it's a mistake, and I'll explain what he has done right as well. If you want to understand what's going on in Ukraine after the Russian invasion, listen to this episode.

The book is here on Amazon:

This is Part 2 of a 2-part series on President Zelensky. Like many of you, I have been watching the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I started reading up on Putin to understand why he did what he did. Then a few days into the war, I read that when the U.S. offered to get President Zelenskyy out of the country, he replied “The fight is here. I need ammunition, not a ride.” I thought—WOW. That is leadership. I need to know more about this man. So, I read everything I could and that turned into a book in a matter of weeks. The book is here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Need-Ammunition-Not-Ride-Volodymyr-ebook/dp/B09VVW3NSV/ref=sr_1_1?crid=6YHOEVZ983NQ&keywords=i+need+ammunition%2C+not+a+ride&qid=1647625321&s=digital-text&sprefix=%2Cdigital-text%2C4098&sr=1-1 In this video, I cover his inauguration speech to the present. This video has his three most impressive quotes. Part 1 was an overview of Zelenskyy’s life that covered his formative years and career leading up to the presidency. If you haven’t seen it, please go back and watch how he became president. If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing and tell others who might benefit from this podcast.

I have been watching what has been going on in Ukraine and trying to understand it. I think I have a good grasp of the situation, including Putin’s motivation for invading the Ukraine. Is Putin crazy? I think there is more to the story. He is not nuts. Is he trying to reestablish the Soviet Union? Not exactly. Putin thinks differently. Once you understand him, you will understand his actions.

In this episode, I will review his speech of 24 February, 2022. It gives us great insight into his state of mind.

You can read the speech here:

I also have found this YouTube video (Why is Russia Invading Ukraine) to be useful:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If61baWF4GE

The 2022 book, Putin’s Playbook by Rebekah Koffler, has also helped me process Putin and his leadership.

https://www.amazon.com/Putins-Playbook-Russias-Secret-America-ebook/dp/B07ZZJ8HF4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=T8TH9JCI29EB&keywords=putin%27s+playbook&qid=1646352821&sprefix=putin%27s+playbook%2Caps%2C779&sr=8-1

Putin is not deranged. It is worse than that.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend, Dr. Kenny Embry to talk about the nature of expertise. We talk about the attributes that make up expertise, and how to know true expertise when you see it. It is not what you might think.

Kenny had a Ph.D. in Communication and he hosts his own podcast, Balancing the Christian Life (https://www.balancingthechristianlife.com/). If you haven’t heard him, check it out.

In this episode, I talk about the study that came out recently that showed the lockdowns do very little to prevent COVID-19 mortality. The study was published in Studies in Applied Economics (SAE). SAE is produced by the Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise. You can see the study here:

https://sites.krieger.jhu.edu/iae/files/2022/01/A-Literature-Review-and-Meta-Analysis-of-the-Effects-of-Lockdowns-on-COVID-19-Mortality.pdf

I quote heavily from the study, citing page numbers if you care to follow along. I also add my own commentary and perspective to the article.

I am an academic, and after reading the article, I thought it would be helpful to try to explain the academic article to my audience. You can hear what they said and make up your own minds about what kind of policy might be effective. This is important because the choices leaders make impacts followers.

In this episode, I talk about manipulation and focus on how you are manipulated at work, through rewards programs, and most insidiously through apps that are designed to manipulate you.

I draw heavily on an article: How ‘Gamification’ of everything is manipulating you by Stephen Johnson.

https://lifehacker.com/how-gamification-of-everything-is-manipulating-you-and-1848352808

I add my own commentary and perspective to the article.

I promise you this—once you see what is happening, you will see it everywhere. You are being manipulated.

In this episode, I talk about foresight and I focus on the time where Mao targeted sparrows as an enemy of the state during the cultural revolution in China. I reviewed an article: China’s worst self-inflicted environmental disaster: The campaign to wipe out the common sparrow.https://gizmodo.com/china-s-worst-self-inflicted-environmental-disaster-th-5927112

And, I add my own commentary on leadership. Even better, I cover the entire topic in about 10 minutes.

In this episode I talk about business trends that will influence 2022. We thought 2020 was bad (and it was) and we were optimistic as we turned the corner to 2021. In hindsight, we might have been prematurely optimistic. How should we think about what comes next in 2022? In this episode I review this article from the Financial Times and I offer my own thoughts.

Here is the link to the article I mentioned—Ten Economic trends that could define 2022: https://www.ft.com/content/432d78ee-6163-402e-8950-d961b4b1312b

In this episode I talk about how to create value through one of two certain paths to economic success. I review an article where one woman did it. She went from 1 cent to $80,000 in a very short period of time. If you understand the principle, you can do it too.

Here is the link to the article I mentioned:

I get this question periodically. I thought I would review the best leadership books on Amazon’s Best Books list and help you decide. I will review Amazon’s 30 top choices and tell you what I know about them. Then you can decide what you should read next.

Here is the link to Amazon Best Sellers on leadership and management so you can make your selection:

https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Management-Leadership/zgbs/books/2675/ref=zg_bs_nav_books_2_3

By the way, I mentioned my own book, the Bookshelf in Your Boss’s Brain which gives an overview a number of these books. Here is the link:

In this episode, I am reviewing the book the Happiest man on Earth. The book is a great read. I read it twice in three days. I urge you to read it.

The author provides a number of excellent lessons. While these are not intended to be leadership lessons, nearly all of these lessons are good lessons for leaders.

During the presentation, I talked about Eddie’s Ted Talk. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clguD970hSc

I also talked about Sir Nicolas Winton--the Man that saved hundreds of children from the Holocaust surprised by them decades later. You simply have to watch this 2 minute clip.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POCCJ-8zds8

It was part of a British show called “That’s Life” and it was broadcast in 1988. I am a grown man who has not cried in years, but I am more than willing to admit that this clip brought tears to my eyes.

In this episode, I want to talk about making tough decisions. Recently, Nikole Hannah-Jones tweeted that she felt shame when she visited Hiroshima. She also said, “They dropped the bomb when they knew surrender was coming because they’d spent all this money developing it and to prove it was worth it,” she wrote. “Propaganda is not history my friend.” But is that true? How did President Truman make his decision to drop the bomb? What choices did he have to wrestle with?

In this episode, I walk through a historian’s analysis to help you understand what happened and why.

Here is a link to the article I referenced.

In this episode, I have a conversation with Tyler Lee. Tyler is a serial entrepreneur who has a wonderful understanding of the lessons needed to be successful in business. They are probably not what you think.

I have known Tyler since 2006 when he was a student of mine at Liberty University. He impressed me then, and he impressed me now. If he wrote in a paper what he told me in this episode, he would deserve an A. What is more important is that he was relaying his own practical experience. He did it. This is not just theory.

I don’t know much about Bitcoin, and I am not sure that Mr. Goxx does either, but he has made 19.41% trading cryptocurrency and I am going to tell you how. I will explain how he did it. It is a strategy you can replicate, but you need to understand the risks. At any rate, I am confident that this is not a strategy you have considered before.

More importantly, I am going to provide the back story to Mr. Goxx and focus on the creativity behind the process.

I am ignorant about country music, but during a recent trip to Nashville, I had the chance to visit both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole Opry. I drew a number of leadership lessons (and broader business lessons) from the experience and in this episode I discuss it with my colleague Maxwell Rollins. Maxwell is the Graduate Programs Director in the college of Business at CSU and he has owned a Mobile DJ Business, (Jay Maxwell’s Music by Request: http://charlestoneventspecialists.com) for 40 years. His DJs have entertained at more than 1000 weddings, and he is a wealth of information.

Have you ever wondered why gas prices go up and down? In this episode, I will explain how gas stations determine what they charge you at the pump. I will explain how the price of crude, supply and demand, local competition, and most importantly the gas station’s real business model—which is not what you think—all connect to get to the amount you are charged at the pump.

For this episode, I use a number of publicly available oil charts and an excellent article about the price of gas by Zachary Crockett (Thanks, Zack!):

I mentioned an article in the podcast about how the Supreme court seat was baked into the election. See the last few paragraphs of this article to understand why.

In this episode I want to talk about what happened on the 4th of July—why it matters. It is not an irrelevant event or a holiday of the oppressor, but the key event that undermined the evils of slavery. It enabled the civil rights movement (MLK drew upon it for authority), and if we apply it, it can help us fix what ails us today.

Leadership, according to Marshal Goldsmith is “Providing inspiration and vision, then developing and empowering other to achieve this vision.” I am grateful that the founding fathers had the wisdom and insight to lead us to a better future.

If you subscribe to the arguments of the 1619 Project and the dubious theory that the world consists only of oppressors and the oppressed, you will not like this episode. If you are intellectually honest, you might want to hear the arguments from the other side. Check out the 1776 project: https://1776unites.com/

In this episode, I continue my interview the author of one of the Steward Leader.

This is part two of a two-part discussion.

In this episode, Scott talks about the mission statement that every church and Christian organization in the world should use—and how it changes everything. He goes on to tell us how well-intentioned leaders get started on a path where they make moral compromises. He also discusses how to handle praise and criticism.

If you missed part one, go back one episode. Scott explained the difference between a faithful steward and an owner who is entirely responsible for his own results. He explained how leaders find themselves in bondage when they own the vision. And, he explained what he got wrong, as a leader in order to help you think about the prerequisites for getting your leadership right.

In this episode, I interview the author of one of the best books I have read on leadership—EVER. I am so enamored with this book that I require it in my first class on leadership in the masters program at Charleston Southern where I am a professor.

The book is profound because Scott has done the hard work of really thinking deeply about a theology of leadership. What does the concept of a biblical steward mean in relation to leadership? This thinking has impacted my life and the lives of my students in deep and amazing ways.

This is part one of a two-part discussion.

In this episode, Scott explains the difference between a faithful steward and an owner who is entirely responsible for his own results. He explains how leaders find themselves in bondage when they own the vision. He explains what he got wrong, and he can help you think about the prerequisites for getting your leadership right.

In the next episode, Scott continues this thinking. He talks about the mission statement that every church and Christian organization in the world should use—and it changes everything. He goes on to tell us how leaders start on a path where they make moral compromises. He also discusses how to handle praise and criticism.

In this episode I talk to Teresa Petcovic, a former student who spent two semesters researching the question of the monetary value of leadership for her final project in her masters program in leadership. I assigned her the task. She did a fantastic job researching the question. She earned an A, and she is here to reveal her findings. The results are incredible. You will be blown away by the results.

I am again talking to Ty Coleman. Ty is a good friend. We attend church together. He was on the last episode where he provided his top 10 reasons that people are denied a loan. Then he explained what he can see in the paperwork—how he can predict success or failure in life beyond the mortgage.

In this episode, Ty puts his credit counselor hat back on. He was a credit counselor before he became a mortgage broker. He made a bold claim that if ANYONE just does what he says, he can get them into a home within one year. He tells us exactly what needs to be done in exactly the order in which it needs to be done. If you are looking to get into a home, but you have poor credit, you can’t afford to miss this.

But I brought Ty on this program to talk about the greater implications beyond the steps to repair credit. After the steps, we talk about the impact of our choices in relation to success in all of life.

If you would like to contact Ty, email him at tcoleman@pnlending.com or call him: (610) 505-2514.

If you are looking to get a mortgage and you have poor credit, he has agreed to talk to anyone who heard this podcast FOR FREE. Just tell him you heard him on the Leadersmith Podcast.

Or, go to his website: Tyronecoleman.com Let him know you heard him on this here.

In this episode, I continue my conversation with Jim Hunter. We discuss why we need to hear this servant-leadership message repeatedly, the pivotal difference between power and accountability, how leadership is like love, the power of community in culture, and how his thinking has progressed over time.

If you missed the first part, go back one episode. We talked about character as the core of effective leadership, how to develop it, the difference between a bad boss and a petulant child, the difference between power and authority, and the role of sacrifice in leadership,

A Jim said, the ultimate test of leadership is: “do people raise their game under your influence?”

Do your people raise their game?

This is part II of an amazing discussion with Dr. Craig von Buseck.  I learned so much about Ulysses Grant and here we talk about his character, his accomplishments (and civil rights legislation that was passed 90 years before modern civil rights legislation), and how he met and overcame the most difficult challenge of his life.   

If you missed Part I, go back one episode. In that episode, we talked about the lost-cause school, Grant’s early life and business failures, his method of leading his men during the Civil war, and his formula for success.

What do you really know about Ulysses Grant? In this episode you will learn why your understanding is probably wrong.

If you are like most of us, you only associate him with the concept of the war of attrition. Compared to Lee, Grant is a knuckle-dragger in the popular imagination. But Grant was an amazing servant leader. Really. I was surprised by this amazing discussion with Dr. Craig von Buseck.

This is the first part of a two-part conversation. In this episode we talk about the lost-cause school, Grant’s early life and business failures, his method of leading his men during the Civil war, and his formula for success.

In the next episode, we will talk about his achievements during his presidency, why it was far better than you think, and how he overcame the greatest challenge of his life just before his death.

In this episode, I interview Dennis Mossburg. Dennis Spent 18 years as in the prisons system, much of it as an Incident Command System (ICS), Type III Operations Section Chief. He has a rather interesting perspective on leadership as a consequence of his unique experience. You will hear this, but you will also hear core leadership principles as he talks.

He will discuss leadership in complex situations, how to deal with inmates effectively, and how to lead Type-A personalities.

He also wrote a book, Reflections on Leadership. You can find the book here:

In this episode, I want to tell you a story. The story comes from Rob O’Neill’s book, The Operator. O’Neill is the Navy SEAL who pulled the trigger and killed Osama Bin Laden. The story is from his memoir.

The story is not about killing Bin Laden. However, it is one of the best examples of thinking outside the box that I have ever come across and I am going to share that here.

Kenny explained the way we should think about communication. If you get this, it changes EVERYTHING about how you approach the subject of communication. I PROMISE. HIS ANSWER IS A GAME-CHANGER.

Rush Limbaugh passed away a few days ago. In this episode, I use his words to explain how he rose to prominence and become the ultra-successful conservative standard bearer.

Limbaugh was well-known for being a conservative firebrand, but after listening to this episode you will understand why he was successful (and it had less to do with politics than the way that he thought about himself and his audience).

As I record, we are in the middle of Trump’s second impeachment trial. As the nation listens to the arguments, partisans agree with half of what is being said, and the viscerally object to the other half. Why? Why are we so politically divided? Why does politics divide us. It has to do with brain wiring and our environment.

In this episode I discuss an article from Rene Levy, a researcher at the University of Washington who spend much of his career studying the emotion of hate.

In this episode, I review a number of quotes by W. Clement Stone. Stone was an incredibly successful businessman, and a disciple of Napoleon Hill. His advice on success is useful to this day.

Here are the quotes I will review. I unpack them in this episode:

“All personal achievement starts in the mind of the individual. Your personal achievement starts in your mind. The first step is to know exactly what your problem, goal or desire is.”

When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.”

“Instead of believing the world is plotting to do you harm, choose to believe the world is plotting to do you good. Instead of seeing every difficult challenging event as a negative, see it for what it could be – something that is meant to enrich you, empower you, or advance your causes.”

“To be happy, make other people happy."

“There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.”

“There is more to success than reading self-help books and extracting the philosophy contained in them, and that is action. The true value of a self-help book is not what the writer puts into the book, but what you, the reader, take out of the book and put into your life.”

“Keep your mind on your objective, and persist until you succeed. Study, think and plan.”

“So, you’ve got a problem? That’s good! Why? Because repeated victories over your problems are the rungs on your ladder of success. With each victory, you grow in wisdom, stature and experience. You become a better, bigger, more successful person each time you meet a problem and tackle and conquer it with a positive mental attitude.”

“To solve a problem or to reach a goal, you don’t need to know all the answers in advance. But you must have a clear idea of the problem or the goal you want to reach.”

“You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success – or are they holding you back?”

“Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.”

“The reason so few people are successful is no one has yet found a way for someone to sit down and slide uphill.”

“Regardless of who you are or what you have been, you can be what you want to be.”

“You always do what you want to do. This is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something, or that you were forced to, but actually, whatever you do, you do by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself.”

"Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity."

“Sometimes the things that seem to be adversities turn out to be opportunities in disguise.”

“Effort and work can become fun when you establish specific desirable goals.”

"No matter how carefully you plan your goals they will never be more that pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto."

"Tell everyone what you want to do and someone will want to help you do it."

“Try, try, try, and keep on trying is the rule that must be followed to become an expert in anything.”

“You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by trying.”

“Success is achieved and maintained by those who try, and keep trying, for there is nothing to lose by trying and a great deal to gain if successful. By all means TRY! Do it NOW!!!”

“Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.”

“It takes less work to succeed than to fail.”

“Do it now.”

Unity? What is it? How do we gain unity? President Biden made a call for unity at the inauguration. He said, “

“We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal. We can do this if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts — if we show a little tolerance and humility, and if we're willing to stand in the other person's shoes.”

But the politicians who talk the most about unity are often the worst role models—and it seems the more zealous their followers, the more damage that they tend to do.

However, there is one group of people who can teach us a great deal about how to unify. These people actively build bridges instead of call names. I will talk about them and draw lessons from their activities that can help us gain the unity we seek.

In this episode, I unpack over 100 verses from the book of proverbs that speak directly to how we should disagree with others. It was quite convicting.

It seems that the world is unhinged. Half of the country seems to be living in a parallel universe (and they think the same thing about your half). It is easy to disagree, and it feels like it is becoming easier to be disagreeable. How do you disagree respectfully? How do you disagree productively? How do you disagree politely? How do you disagree without being disagreeable? How do you seek common ground?

In this episode I will discuss all of that. Much of it is mindset and the actions that flow from your mindset. I will draw heavily on an absolutely fantastic article from Psychology Today by Melody Stanford Martin:

Last Wednesday the world watched in disbelief as Trump supporters, perhaps mixed with agitators, desecrated the Capitol Building. The new media has flashed these images relentlessly. The Left is outraged, but the Right is too. There is near-universal condemnation for what happened.

In the wake of these events, Pelosi and Schumer are calling on Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment. They are formulating new articles of impeachment. Twitter cut off the leader of the free world—FOR LIFE.

In this episode, I will do my best to unpack these events and analyze them through the lens of leadership. I will do my best to see through both sides, and I will give you my analysis of what happened, what is happening right now, and what is likely to happen in the future.

In this episode, I am going to provide a review of the best leadership quotes, the most inspirational quotes, the most empowering quotes by female leaders.

I do not worry about who said it (e.g., politically left or right). I am only concerned with the content of the quotes.

If you are working on a report or a presentation, or you just need a little inspiration, you don’t want to miss this.

As a bonus, I have linked the entire presentation so you can use any of the quotes. I have cited sources for pictures where the pictures where necessary. Enjoy!

This episode is all about how to get promoted, specifically how to get promoted at work—a job promotion--and how to do it fast. We will talk about what to say, and how to earn a promotion.

It seems that every time you turn on the news, you see ethical train wrecks. In this episode, I talk about how you can make more ethical decisions. 

Standard business texts propose a 4-prong model for making ethical decisions. I will talk about that and I will propose a different 3-prong model for making ethical decisions.

64% of Americans drink coffee every day. Want your coffee money to support a great cause? A missionary in Colombia began using coffee to fund a home for homeless girls in Medellín. Many of these girls had turned to prostitution and were pregnant. 100% of the profits from Bebebeans funds this shelter—Esther’s Home (http://www.tministries.org/esther-s-home).  

In this episode, Brian tells the story of Esther’s Home, Bebe Beans, and how you can have a part in helping these women.

Please visit the website: www.Bebebeans.com and check it out.

Brian was a guest on the podcast before. In episode 33 and 34, I had Brian Miller on the show. In the first episode, we heard about Brian’s unique perspective on leadership:

In episode 115, I explained how networking can be one of the most kind and genuinely human activities you engage in in business, and I explained how it can provide rocket fuel to your success.

In this episode, I will teach you about the mindset necessary for effective networking. I compare two experiences I had over the last few days and explain how one approach failed miserably and how the other made me a raving fan. It all comes down to mindset.

Before you listen to this episode, please listen to episode 115 because this is really a sequel to that episode and you will have a fuller experience if you listen to one before the other.

I recently began a new segment entitled Notable Quotables.

I review the best quotes of one particular leader and I unpack the very best of what that leader has to say (99% lean beef; 1% fat).

In this episode, I review the leadership quotes of Dwight Eisenhower—Supreme Allied Commander in World War II and 34th President of the United States.

I have deep respect for Eisenhower and we will try to understand him more by examining a number of his more famous quotes. You don’t want to miss this episode.

Organizational change is a predictable process. In this episode, I talk about the change process. I provide an overview of John Kotter’s 8-step change process. Kotter is a Harvard professor and I use his books in both my undergrad and my graduate classes. This is the most practical guide to the change process.

When change efforts fail, it is also predictable, and it is likely the result of skipping the first step. If you will ever be involved in a change effort, you do not want to miss this episode.

Networking is fundamental to success in business, but many people avoid networking. It feels slimy—like you are using people for your purposes. Networking events can feel artificial, and they make people feel uncomfortable.

But networking can be one of the most kind and genuinely human activities you engage in in business. It can simultaneously provide rocket-fuel to your success.

In this episode, I will teach you how to network.

In this episode, I welcome Jim Cain back to the program. Jim was on the program discussing Earnest Shackleton in Episode 111. Jim is a trainer who travels to organizations to teach team-building

Now imagine that you were a trainer. You conduct corporate and outdoor trainings (e.g., think ropes courses). COVID-19 hits and your entire business shuts down because you cannot interact with people in person. How would you translate these activities to virtual training? Jim will tell you how he has successfully navigated 2020.

In this episode, we consider how the first truly virtual holiday season will be different from days gone by. As we gather in smaller groups, connect with loved ones on Zoom, and forgo larger crowds on Black Friday, what effect will it have on retailers who depend on holiday sales?

The first episode covered leadership quotes by Jim Rohn. If you are unfamiliar with Jim Rohn, he is the father of the self-help motivational speaker circuit. Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, and Darren Hardy all attribute a good deal of their success to Jim Rohn.

Rohn passed away in 2009. In the episode, I talked with an old friend who is as close to a Jim Rohn expert as anyone out there. I brought him back to talk about Rohn’s primary topic—success. It is a great conversation. It is a very profitable conversation. It will change the way you think about being successful.
