Sara Avant Stover is a business strategist, Internal Family Systems practitioner and author based in Boulder, Colorado. She works with female spiritual entrepreneurs to help them with both the spiritual and practical aspects of building a business and pursuing inner transformation. She draws on 25 years as a yoga and meditation practitioner and a teacher, author, and entrepreneur.
Sara is an "overachiever." She started dancing ballet at the age of three and continued until she went to college. She was also an entrepreneur, making and selling candy, T-shirts, and jewelry boxes from a young age. As a young adult, Sara realized the level of competition in ballet was leading to unhealthy behaviors and so she stopped. She graduated from Barnard College Phi Beta Kappa and applied to work in the Peace Corps. That's when things started to change.
While undergoing health exams for the Peace Corps, Sara was told she had early signs of cervical cancer. Because she would need medical exams every three months, she was not able to go to Africa. A meeting with an old high school teacher opened up an alternative: going to teach in Thailand, where she could get the health care she needed. She thought she'd be there a year; she ended up staying for nine years, traveling around the world at intervals while keeping Thailand as her home base. She also became a yoga teacher and started offering teacher trainings as well as writing for magazines in the U.S. on yoga and spirituality.
Sara returned to the U.S. in her 30s and, with the help of her business partner, embarked on building her business online. She wrote and published her first book, The Way of the Happy Woman. She now offers private mentoring to female spiritual entrepreneurs, conducts programs and retreats, and has written two more books. The Handbook for the Heartbroken comes out this month.
Sara is informed by her deep practices in meditation and yoga, but also by Internal Family Systems, a psychological, evidence-based approach that teaches people how to look at different parts of themselves while holding fast to what she calls the "essential self." In doing this people can learn to listen to their fears without allowing them to hold them back.
Sara believes in entrepreneurship as spiritual practice, and is deeply interested in the intersection of money, business, and spirituality. She has learned to peel back the outside messages and tune into her "still small voice." Learning to listen to that voice is a central teaching she uses with the women she mentors to help them break free of barriers and build their spiritual businesses.
Sara will be leading retreats this year at the Drala Mountain Center in Colorado and the Kripalu Center in Massachusetts. For more information go to saraavantstover.com.

"All the past and all the future are present in this moment." — Blake D. Bauer
Blake D. Bauer is the author of the international best-seller You Were Not Born To Suffer. A speaker and teacher, he has studied a wide range of modalities, including psychology, nutrition, traditional Chinese medicine, and past life regression therapy-hypnosis. All that Blake has learned started as a quest when he was 18 to simply find a way to stop the pain he was experiencing. He found his calling in helping others find optimal mental, physical and emotional health.
When Blake was a senior in high school, he was co-captain of his football team. One night he'd partied a bit too hard and found himself with a DUI, ending his aspirations to play football in college. Blake withdrew from the world and woke up every morning wondering how to stop the suffering and pain. Eventually he found yoga and meditation, which he credits with saving his life.
Learning to meditate was only the beginning. Looking back, Blake realized he had to create a space of unconditional acceptance, of self-love and how this applies to all aspects of life. You can't really truly love another until you learn to love yourself, Blake says. Meditation, where you quiet the mind and simply observe your thoughts, is a space where you can learn this.
Blake also observes the lack of initiation rituals in our culture, pointing to his own experimentation with alcohol and drugs and getting arrested as a kind of unhealthy self-initiation. Blake grew up seeing people in his family, including his biological father, achieve success but lose it all because of substance abuse. When he realized he was following the same path, he became determined to make a different life for himself. While he's studied various fields relating to the health of the body and mind, he has found qi gong, a Chinese practice of movement, especially meaningful. Meditation continues to be the core practice he uses as well as teaches.
When Blake was 24, he started pitching his book idea to publishers. He was rejected 100 times. He eventually self-published his book, which was later bought by a publisher and has become an international best seller. While he's pleased with its success, the lesson he learned by all those rejections was showing him that he was still looking for validation from outside himself. It was deciding for himself his ideas had value that made the difference.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- Blake's approach to meditation
- The key to a healthy relationship
- The two questions Blake asked himself every day when trying to relieve his suffering
- The superpower Blake didn't know he had
- How loving yourself is the basis of all healing

"Relationships are where we receive the greatest fulfillment and the greatest challenge." — Elysabeth Williamson
Today's guest is Elysabeth Williamson, a self-taught yoga teacher of 35 years who developed Principle-Based Partner Yoga,™ a system of yoga that focuses on relationship and connection with others. She also uses this work to encourage people to think and talk about death and dying as a way to live life more fully. She is the author of the award-winning book The Pleasures and Principles of Partner Yoga and is working on a second book, Becoming Fully Human: How Learning To Feel Saved My Life.
Williamson had a challenging start in life, marked by a mother with mental illness and addictions. This, she says, brought her to seek out healing and understanding, noting "human suffering is the great equalizer." She believes that "we're born into a circumstance that our soul is choosing" and that her life's work has been to integrate her human self with the wisdom nature we are all born with.
Williamson started doing yoga when she was 16. At that time, the 1970s, there were not many places to learn yoga. After playing and touring with a rock band fo several years, at the age of 28 she returned to yoga and started learning more. She says that for her, yoga was about reconnecting with her intuition, and that many of the movements were ones she'd been doing since childhood. As yoga became more popular, Williamson resisted the trend of "competitive" yoga and instead developed a teaching based around the principles of relationship, which became her partner yoga system.
Rather than focusing on just the physical, Williamson's teaching is based on universal qualities of humanity and the idea that yoga can be used to help people get in touch with and cultivate more of these principles.
Williamson also completed training as a hospice worker, which she found helped her to prepare for her mother's death. Though she ultimately concluded, based on witnessing her mother's death, that how we live is how we die, she was able to come to peace and forgiveness for her childhood. She brings what she's learned to her teachings, offering workshops where she challenges people to look at and talk about death and dying. Williamson notes that many traditions use meditations on death to come to a deeper awakening to life.
Williamson strives to create a safe and supportive space for people to voice their fears about death. She uses the sivasana pose as a tool to help people relax and be guided into the "ultimate surrender." Participants report coming away from these experiences with less fear and more joy. One woman told her 10 years after attending a workshop that it had helped her when she was witnessing her mother's death.
Williamson will be offering a workshop as part of the Stanford University Contemplative Arts Summit in October. More information and other events can be found at partneryoga.net/events.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- Why Williamson focuses on relationship in her yoga teachings
- What she believes we can learn through relationships and connection
- What the hallmarks of a good teacher are
- Why she believes talking about and working with death is so important
- What people experience in a weekend retreat on death and dying
- What she believes forgiveness is
- How Williamson has come to terms with her family and her past, including her brother's suicide

"Really, death is a journey into and through the mind." — Andrew Holocek
In this episode, I speak with Andrew Holecek, the author of several books on meditation and lucid dreaming. While he's had a career as a dental surgeon, he has had a lifelong interest in meditation and the wisdom traditions. In 1998, he went on a three-year retreat at Sopa Choling in Nova Scotia, Canada. He calls this experience "transformative," and it was in his last year he had the idea for his first book, The Power and the Pain: Transforming Spiritual Hardship into Joy. He has gone on to publish several other books on dying, meditation, and dream yoga and speaks and teaches on these topics. His teachings draw on Buddhism, but he stresses that all wisdom traditions have something to offer and often teach the same things in different ways.
Andrew's book Preparing to Die: Practical Advice and Spiritual Wisdom From the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition explains that how we prepare to die is just as important as how we live. Many of the spiritual masters understand that death is just another phase of life, and they make no distinction between life and death. The best way to prepare for death is to become familiar with your own mind, and the best way to do this is through the practice of meditation. Further, living your life to the fullest and living a life of goodness are also spiritual practices that prepare you for death. These masters seek to be at the moment of looking forward to death when they die. Having no fear and no regrets are also states to aim for. Indeed, the "awakened ones" see death as liberation.
Andrew's work on lucid dreaming further extends these ideas, as this practice is really about becoming more conscious and intentional. In his books about dream yoga and lucid dreaming, he explains that dream yoga incorporates but also transcends lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is the act of becoming conscious when in a dream state, so that the "conscious mind can face the unconscious mind directly." It's a powerful practice that has helped people become more mindful and conscious in their awake states, as well as having mental and physical benefits. Most of our lives are spent in the phase of "non lucidity" or distraction; practicing meditation and lucid dreaming can help us become more conscious. It can "accelerate your psycho-spiritual development."
Intention-setting is another important practice. At a dream yoga training, the teacher taught only that practice. This practice might involve the repetition of your intention throughout the course of the day, especially right before sleep.
As a dental surgeon and founder of Global Dental Relief, which provides dental care to people in developing countries, Andrew believes in the efficacy of Western medicine. However, as he notes, we are one of the only cultures that do not regard the dream state as important. He seeks to draw on the best of Eastern thought and Western medicine in his approach to sleep and dreaming. He gives examples of accounts of people who dreamed events that later became true and his own experiences with precognitive dreaming.
Another topic Andrew has written about is "reverse meditation." This is a practice that teaches you to be with an unwanted experience instead of running away from it as an opportunity for transformation. Pain and suffering can be a pathway for change; tranquility "sedates, it doesn't liberate." The goal is to live in a state of expansion rather than contraction. Acceptance and open awareness are key in this practice.
Andrew offers retreats for people interested in learning more about his work and is hosting one in March in Costa Rica. He also hosts an online community, Night Club.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- More about the best way to prepare to die
- How death can be seen as a form of liberation
- The power of lucid dreaming and practices that help you get there
- How the dream state is a "truer dimension"
- What Andrew thinks about dream interpretation
- Why someone might want to practice reverse meditation
- How to become less distracted and more aware
- What the three phases of beginning meditation are
- Why language can be a trigger and how to transform its power
- What Andrew experienced when he met the Dalai Lama

"The fundamental idea of gross national happiness is to say that the center of our attention should be the happiness of all people as well as all life forms." — Tho Va Hinh
This week I speak to a returning guest, Tho Va Hinh, author of The Culture of Happiness and founder of the Eurasia Foundation and the Eurasia Learning Institute for Happiness and Wellbeing. He's designed the Happy Schools curriculum, which started its first program in Vietnam and is now being tried in Switzerland and Germany. He is also a Buddhist teacher ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh.
Tho's early life was shaped by being the child of a Vietnamese diplomat father and a French mother. Though he did not directly witness the Vietnam War growing up, he was impacted by it through extended family. He saw both sides, he explains. While he at first thought he'd study to be a doctor, he chose a less conventional path: he became a performer and dance teacher. The type of dance he did was Eurythmy, a dance form developed by Rudolf Steiner, whose philosophies shape Waldorf schools.
Tho explains his early interest in Eurythmy and his journey as a teacher and a Buddhist have all been driven by a desire to connect inner transformational work with the outer work of social change.He pursued a PhD in psychology and education when he was over 40. He has held leadership roles in schools, including director of Camphill Seminar of Curative Education in Switzerland and director of learning and development for the International Committee of the Red Cross. While serving in the latter role, he saw firsthand the devastating impact of wars in such places as Palestine and Darfur. He began to seek out ways to change the root of the problems, rather than addressing the consequences of violence.
Tho's interests led him to Bhutan, where the government has implemented an alternative framework to replace the Gross National Product: Gross National Happiness. He explains how and why this framework is based on the premise that the guiding principle for a society should be on wellbeing for individuals, connection with others, and caring for the planet. The economic system is only one part of this larger framework. However, most societies use the Gross National Product - an economic index - as one of the most important markers of how a society is doing. Tho describes the process of implementing an index to measure Gross National Happiness instead and how this has led to his development of the Happy Schools curriculum.
Tho has also helped implement the principles of Gross National Happiness into business, working with companies in Vietnam, Switzerland and Germany. One first step is to gather information through employee surveys to find out what needs and concerns workers have in order to find ways that the company can help improve their employees' wellbeing. So far, the results have been encouraging, with leaders reporting higher employee engagement and a more positive work culture. \
Tho says that schools and businesses that have adopted these principles have proven more resilient through the pandemic and ultimately have come out stronger, and he's eager to see this grow in the future. His latest project hopes to do just that, through the creation of a "Happy Village" in Vietnam.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- How Tho's father responded when he told him he was going to study Eurythmy instead of medicine
- What Tho thinks of the current culture of information and how people need time to integrate all the information they are taking in
- His experience of meeting Thich Nhat Hanh for the first time
- The definition of dharma and why true Buddhist teachings are about freedom
- Why he he started working on Gross National Happiness in Bhutan
- What Tho thinks about artificial intelligence
- How we need to shift education to respond to our current culture and create a better future
- What Happy Schools teach and the results so far
- The importance of gratitude in a happiness practice

“When we're no longer grasping for the money, it often flows more easily to us." — Spencer Sherman
This week's guest is Spencer Sherman, CEO of Abacus Wealth Partners, a certified mindfulness teacher and author of The Cure for Money Madness. He also teaches people how to have a healthier relationship with money through his online courses and is on the faculty at NYU's Inner MBA program.
In this episode Spencer and I dig into how our relationship with money is shaped by our parents, cultural messages, and the historical events we live through. Spencer grew up in Queens, where, he says, a lot of people focus on working hard, but he also grew up with the sense that there was never enough. After earning an MBA at Wharton Business School, he went to work for an investment firm. There, he focused on making moneynd and working long hours.
Only when a fire broke out in his building did Sherman start to question whether money was needed for happiness at the expense of his health. He went on a ten-day silent retreat because, he says, "I'm a sucker for a challenge." That experience taught him that he could feel joy and a sense of having enough with few possessions, by just going inward. It was the beginning of redefining net worth to include more than just numbers on the balance sheet.
Once he incorporated more mindfulness in his life, Spencer took a step back and started working on his relationship with money. He opened his own business and learned to set boundaries around his time for self-care activities like sleep and exercise. His business was one of the first to offer fee-only services, so he could help people objectively with their financial planning. In 2002, he joined with a friend to create Abacus Wealth Partners, a values-driven financial firm.
One practice Spencer teaches in his workshops is helping people become more conscious and aware of their thoughts and feelings around money. For example, he sometimes experiences anxiety about making a big purchase, even though he has the money. In those moments, Spencer explains, he reverts to being a child and feeling afraid he's going to run out of money. He has to take a moment, take a breath (he calls it the "money breath") and remind himself he's okay, that his adult self is in control. Similarly, he advises people take a few days to consider any big purchases, to make sure they are not acting out of impulse.
Money can be our greatest teacher, Spencer says. Once we stop and become aware of our relationship with money, we can learn so much more about ourselves.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- How lessons about money are learned, from previous generations and from the events we live through as a child and adolescent.
- How improving our relationship with money can help us cultivate patience and resilience.
- Why finding your own balance - with work and play, with risk and safety - is important.
- How gratitude can help us focus more on what we have and less on what we don't.
- Why feeling the sense of "enoughness" may be the key in shifting to a healthier relationship with money, and open up more abundance into your life.
- What practice Spencer has used when he's felt envious.
- How a taxi driver in India taught him about having enough.
- What leaders can learn from the Dalai Lama.
- Why beginners are often better at investing over the long term.

“If we want to be free, at some point we have to plant our staff in the ground and say, 'I am here.'" — Koshin Paley Ellison
This week's guest is Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, founder and guiding teacher of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care. Ellison is an author, Jungian psychotherapist and ACPE Certified Chaplain Educator. Koshin has served as the co-director for Contemplative Care Services in the Department of Integrative Medicine at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center and is currently on the faculty of the University of Arizona Medical School's Center for Integrative Medicine. His most recent book is Untangled: Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage and Compassion.
While Koshin has extensive education, he explains that it's ultimately all been in search of deeper meaning. As a young man he discovered the poetry of Marie Howe and was moved to seek her out as a teacher. He subsequently studied under her, earning an MFA. Then, after serving as a hospital chaplain, he went on to get a degree in social work in order to learn how to help others better. This led him to studying psychoanalysis. But clearly what has most deeply informed Koshin's life is his practice of Zen meditation, which he's formally studied since 1987.
"Zen," Koshin explains, simply means sitting meditation. It's one of the various practices of meditation, and all are valid routes to self-reflection and exploration. It was this practice that enabled him to sit with and be present with the dying as a hospital chaplain. He started in this work when his grandmother was dying, who observed that he and his "Zen people" were the only people who could be fully present with her, without distraction, fear, or busy-ness. He credits her as the real founder of the Zen Center for Contemplative Care. In an effort to bring these principles to the medical community, Koshin helps doctors and other clinicians bring a contemplative practice to their work and their lives, enabling them to be more present for their patients, as well as themselves.
Ultimately, what's important, Koshin says, is that we not get too attached to our identity. We take on different identities throughout our days and lives depending on the situation we're in. Letting go of attachment to one's identity is key. He also believes that suffering is rooted in the gap between what we believe to be right and good and how we act daily, and he strives to help people to close that gap in order to live more authentic, meaningful lives.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- How a traumatic memory from Koshin's childhood came back to him and how he responded
- His first lesson as an 11-year-old karate student
- His own moments of insight with being attached to his identity
- Why Buddhism is still relevant today
- How anxiety is an addiction
- How he finds gratitude and appreciation in everyday life

"I just believe we were put here for a purpose." – Don Lupo
This week's guest is Don Lupo, an advocate for the homeless and others in need. Twenty-three years ago, Lupo left a career as a successful businessman to start a new career in service to his community, the city of Birmingham, AL. In 2016, he was awarded the FBI Director's Community Leadership Award and was named one of the "Top 50 Over 50" in the state of Alabama; in 2018 he was awarded the Civilian Service Award by the Birmingham Police Department.
One of the defining moments of Lupo's life was the passing of his mother when he was 16 years old. He explains how her unconditional love for him as well as her commitment to being of service to others have inspired him throughout his life. Another defining moment was reading some words on the back of an envelope that exhorted him to "love your neighbor, feed the hungry, clothe any that are naked." This message was a "slap in the face," he says, prompting him to find a way to help others. He now includes these words in his social media posts. Lupo, who directs the Mayor's Office of Citizens' Assistance, says that he doesn't see his job as work, but as a way he can be of service to others.
Lupo has certainly found ways to serve and has done a lot of work serving the homeless in the city of Birmingham. He is proud to say that almost every homeless person in the city is known by name, and if he doesn't know theirs, they know his. As a board member for Firehouse Ministries, a homeless shelter and outreach agency, he worked on raising funds for a new facility. Despite the odds, they raised $7 million in six months. Lupo believes in the vital importance of the work of Firehouse, saying that we are all "just one step" away from being homeless and that if he ever needed somewhere to go, he knows he could go there.
In a profile in Good Grit Magazine, Lupo was called "the man to call when you need to get something done—especially connecting those in need with available resources."
Lupo stresses that he could never have accomplished all he has without the help of others. In one example he shares that after his daughter convinced him to go on Facebook and ask for the 1500 toothbrushes the shelter needed, he was offered way more than he needed. All he had to do was ask.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- What happened when Don Lupo met the Dalai Lama
- What he thinks would help address the problem of homelessness
- What he thought as he stood next to the mayor when they went to talk to protestors over a statue
- How his faith and belief in service has motivated him throughout his life

Jay Steinfeld | Experimenting and Enjoying the Ride
"You really never know when you set out to do anything, if it's going to work. If you do know, then you're not experimenting enough." — Jay Steinfeld
This week's guest is Jay Steinfeld, author of Lead from the Core and founder of Blinds.com, which he sold to Home Depot in 2014. Steinfeld remained the company's CEO until he left in 2020 to not retire but, as he calls it, "rewire." He teaches business and entrepreneurship at Rice University, serves on multiple boards, and is active in charitable organizations.
Jay's predominant approach to life and to business is to learn as much as possible, with the understanding that you're never going to know it all. He believes in experimentation, and in taking small steps to try something new to figure out if it's something he wants to build on. The loss of two important people in his life—his mother when he was a teenager and his wife after 25 years of marriage, both to cancer in their late 40s—also motivated him to learn and come to a better understanding of how he wanted to live his life. Two texts he cites as influential are Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankel and The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt.
Jay explains how being value-led drove him in building his company. One of these values is experimenting without fear of failure. By articulating and modeling the core values of the company, he was able to hire people who would not be afraid to speak up and experiment. He was also able to guide his business as it was sold to Home Depot, making sure that the people who had helped him build his business were recognized, appreciated, and well compensated for all they did. Honesty is another value Jay discusses in this episode, where he advises CEOs to "not be chickenshit" but to be the one who tells people what they need to know.
Another value Jay discusses is to "enjoy the ride." Having challenges and facing the unknown have been motivating for him, and he loves working with others to come up with new ideas and solutions. He believes his greatest achievement is assembling teams of people who succeeded at doing things he could never have done alone.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- How the loss of Jay Steinfeld's mother and wife affected how sees the world
- How he approaches social media
- How he went about planning for his "rewirement" and the one person he wanted to meet
- When it might make sense to give up
- How to model and send the message to employees that experimentation is valued
- What you need to do if an employee is not performing up to expectations
- What to do before selling a business

"I'm on a mission to share with the world that you can have a good quality of life and a successful business." — Dr. Sabrina Starling
This week's guest is Dr. Sabrina Starling, The Business Psychologist, bestselling author of the How To Hire the Best series and The 4 Week Vacation and host of the Profit by Design podcast. Sabrina's company, Tap the Potential, helps entrepreneurs learn how to build successful businesses without sacrificing their quality of life, health, and relationships.
Many entrepreneurs put off taking time to be with their families, to travel, or to take care of themselves until it's too late. Dr. Starling believes entrepreneurs need to take time away from their businesses and encourages them to eventually get to a place where they can take four-week vacations, as she discusses in her book. When entrepreneurs hear of the four-week vacation, most think it's impossible. It's also frightening.
Starling acknowledges that four weeks fully away from work is not going to be something entrepreneurs do when they are in the startup phase. It's something that takes time to build up to, and should be done gradually and with forethought and planning. It means putting systems and people into place that will run your business without you. As scary as that might be, it's the key to achieving a full, happy life that isn't solely about your business. Starling points out that in her research on successful entrepreneurs, those who build their business to eventually operate without them are the ones who thrive and avoid burnout.
In order to get to that place, Starling says entrepreneurs need to "slim down" the business, and find that "sweet spot" where you are serving and adding value to the 20% of your customers who account for 80% of your business. By focusing in this way, you can set up systems, hire the right people, and ultimately be able to pay attention to other aspects of life.
Further, once these systems are put into place, you can take time off that you need to nourish and replenish yourself. Starling calls these times "soul-batticals." After you come back from these periods away, and you see that the systems and people are running your business, you can focus on growth or the next step in your journey, rather than responding to crisis after crisis. Under this framework, it's entirely possible to work reasonable work hours—40 hours, or even fewer, rather than the 70 or 80 hours a week many entrepreneurs do.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- Where you need to be in order to take a four-week vacation—and how to get there
- Why it's important to find work-life balance now, so you can be present in the lives of the people you love
- What thriving entrepreneurs do to build successful businesses while maintaining time and space for other pursuits
- What types of questions to ask when faced with problems
- What $10,000 per hour activities are—and why you need to focus on them

Nicole Glaros | It's About the How, Not the What
“It's so much more powerful to be a 'we' than an 'I.' You get so much further when it's ours, not mine." — Nicole Glaros
This week's guest is Nicole Glaros, partner and chief investment strategy officer at Techstars, a venture capital firm in Boulder, Colorado. Nicole joined Techstars in 2008, bringing her experience as a three-time startup founder and her work with an early business incubator. Since joining Techstars, she's helped build it exponentially from a small firm to a global powerhouse and serves on the board of a variety of companies.
Nicole is in transition, having decided to step away from her role at Techstars. She describes her current position as being at the top of the mountain and looking around. You spend so much time just climbing up there, you don't have little time to rest or look around, she explains. Nicole is now figuring out her next steps on her journey, stopping to ask what she wants rather than reacting to whatever comes her way.
Nicole values people helping and supporting others. When she first came to Colorado, there was little going on for entrepreneurs and startups. It was through the active engagement and openness to giving advice and collaborating that it has become a flourishing, vital scene for startups. Unfortunately, COVID did some damage to this culture, and Nicole acknowledges that the next generation needs to step up and start doing the work previous generations did of helping others. Nicole explains that this kind of thinking stems back to the question of, "If not us, then who?"
Similarly, Nicole believes that peer groups can play an important role for entrepreneurs in supporting and encouraging growth. She doesn't believe people learn by reading or passively taking in information. Instead, we learn by doing, and CEOs need to model the types of behaviors and habits they want the people who work for them to follow.
As a board member and startup advisor, Nicole also understands the challenge of making hard decisions and concludes that it's more about the how than the what. She explains in an example how one company was told they had to cut expenses by laying off half the workforce. Instead, the CEO explored other solutions, and with the support of employees, found alternative ways to cut expenses.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- Nicole's thoughts about "conscious" entrepreneurship, and what term she likes better
- The one thing she did that made a huge impact on her productivity while at Techstars
- How and why peer groups can help entrepreneurs
- How your thoughts and beliefs can impact your life
- How to shift your mindset through awareness
- The question CEOs could ask that might mean a huge shift in work culture
- What she gets out of participating in challenging sports like mountain climbing and boxing

“If you don't know where you're going, how are you making the decisions to get there?" — Ryan Tansom
Ryan Tansom is founder of Arkona, a company that helps businesses grow with intention through trainings and fractional CFO services. I am thrilled to have Ryan join me on the podcast, since he and his cofounder, Pat Hobby, have been a big help to me in my own business, imageOne, and have helped me learn how to make decisions with more intention. The Intentional Growth™ Framework, along with other tools like EOS, Small Giants, The Great Game of Business and 2 Second Lean, have made a huge impact on me and my business.
Ryan was previously the executive vice president of his family's business, and by applying intentional growth strategies, helped grow it to a place where it was bought up by a competitor in an 8-figure sale. Ryan also hosts the Intentional Growth™ podcast.
Ryan sees putting intention at the forefront of everything we do as critical to growth both personally and professionally, and especially in business. Without a clear goal of where you want to end up, you're unable to confidently and clearly make decisions. Having a clear intention helps give you purpose in your daily life and to make decisions in alignment with those goals. Intention helps to answer your "why."
Ryan sees major turning points - what he calls inflection points - such as selling a business or going through a divorce, as opportunities for growth and learning. His experience working in his family's business came with a lot of anxiety and uncertainty, in large part because of their financial situation. Looking back, he realizes that they lacked intention and an understanding of what a Chief Financial Officer could offer in this process. With Arkona, Ryan strives to help business leaders become more intentional and to come to a better understanding of their financial situation and goals. He explains what a CFO should do, and how smaller companies can benefit from working with a fractional CFO to help leaders get clear on and become aligned with their intentions.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- The five principles Arkona teaches in helping businesses become more intentional
- What a CFO should do in a company and which companies should consider using a fractional CFO
- How understanding just the three financial statements in a business is key to better managing finances and making them less complicated
- How Arkona helped Rob and his partner become more intentional in their business
- Why mastering an understanding of money is so critical
- What the two "true things" are
- Why a routine is so important and how it gives Ryan freedom
- How Ryan explains the Biblical quote "the meek shall inherit the Earth"

“We've got to get to a place where the conversations are deeper at a heart level.” — Melvin Gravely
This week's guest is Melvin Gravely, entrepreneur and author of Dear White Friend. Melvin is CEO of TriVersity, a black-owned construction company in Cincinnati that was founded and continues to run under the principle that diversity brings power. He has also written several other books, on entrepreneurship and race.
Melvin credits his successes with "disruptions" that steered him on a different path than many of his peers growing up. He was intentionally placed in a different middle school. He was given opportunities through programs for minorities that helped him go to college and get a job at IBM. He excelled in sales at IBM, the first company he worked at, and moved on to work in various other entrepreneurial projects as well as earning a PhD in business administration. While Melvin believes in hard work and doing due diligence, these types of programs often help offset the severe inequities that so black people in America continue to face.
Melvin wrote Dear White Friend in response to the current discussions people in this country, including his white friends, are having about race in America. A prolific writer, Melvin says that he turns to writing for relaxation and to help him understand and make sense of the world. Melvin's main premise is that the root cause of racial inequities in the U.S. is slavery. He explains why and how African Americans are at the bottom and white people are at the top, with everyone else is in between. He points out that almost half of the black population lives in poverty, a consequence of their ancestors being slaves.
Melvin says the first step for everyone is to acknowledge the reality of the racial construct in our nation. The next step after acknowledgement is deciding to act with intention. If we all work in our own spheres of influence, then reach out to other spheres, Melvin explains, we can start to build a better, more equitable world.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- Steps white people can take to start to build momentum to make change
- How asking the question "why is it this way" can be a powerful tool for insight and empathy
- How a professor used the game of Monopoly to illustrate racial inequities
- How intentional acts can help disrupt the path many people are given
- What Melvin thinks about the statue debate
- What he thinks about reparations and why he changed his mind about them
- How and why his company makes diversity one of their core values

George Mumford | In the Eye of the Hurricane
“When you get rid of noise and clutter, nothing's there. But because nothing's there, there could be anything there.” — George Mumford
This week I chatted with George Mumford, renowned teacher and coach on mindfulness and performance. George has worked with such athletes as Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal and many other elite athletes and executives. Mumford is the author of The Mindful Athlete: Secrets to Pure Performance.
In our talk George explains why his company is called "Eye of the Hurricane." He strives to teach people about that still center in themselves, just as in the middle of a hurricane there is a quiet, still point. Mindfulness, George explains, can be the tool that gets us there. However, mindfulness must be guided by wisdom, love, faith and trust. Mindfulness can help guide us to create that pause we need between stimulus and response. Just being able to stop and become aware is immensely valuable. If you struggle with anger, a good first step is becoming aware of what triggers you. Then, he says, try to get intimate with it. Observe what happens to you, and try to learn from it. Whatever you do, George teaches, be fully engaged with the present moment.
George reads a book a week, and often re-reads books in order to learn from them at a deeper level. For the same reason George offers programs where students are encouraged to become lifelong learners, returning again and again to the material from different perspectives and in different contexts. In our talk, he referenced Kierkegaard, Socrates, and Erich Fromm, among others. George integrates all he learns to teach others how to not just survive, but thrive, and encourages us all to be authentically who we are.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- How going slower will get you where you want to go quicker
- How knowing your core values will help you with your practice
- What the "superpowers" are and why you need them
- How to deal with anxiety in today's world
- What Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan learned from George Mumford
- Why his teachings are not just for athletes
- Why trying too hard can be counter-productive
- What flow is and how to harness it
- What it means to have an empty mind

“Conflict is the hallmark of progress, success and happiness when you deal with it well.” — Gabe Karp
My guest this week is Gabe Karp, former trial attorney, venture capitalist, speaker, and author of Don't Get Mad at Penguins and Other Ways to Detox the Conflict in Your Life and Business. After ten years as a trial attorney, Gabe joined the startup ePrize, now Merkle, which became one of the leading companies in the digital promotions industry. He is an operating partner at Detroit Venture Partners, is a venture partner at Lightbank, a Chicago-based venture capital firm, and serves on the boards of multiple companies. Gabe draws on his 30 years of experience as a litigator and corporate executive to help companies and leaders better manage - and even embrace - conflict.
In our conversation, Gabe and I talk about making anger and conflict work for you. Gabe believes conflict is an opportunity to grow and drive transformation, both internally and within an organization. Rather than running away from it, Gabe has found that it's often better to instead stop and look at conflict as an opportunity. Having often found himself having to navigate conflicts that arose in the companies where he worked, he began to develop ways to address it. Addressing conflict in a healthy way takes some conscious effort because it means overcoming our natural survival instincts of fight or flight. Instead, Gabe teaches us to find a middle ground and to embrace conflict, explaining that navigating healthy conflict is when growth occurs. Managers and leaders can embrace conflict by learning tools to manage their anger - and others' anger - and by practicing ways to give feedback and encourage growth rather than add to toxic forms of conflict.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- The difference between healthy and toxic conflict
- What the "shopping list voice" is and how to use it to help give feedback to reduce tension
- What happened on the movie set of Kill Bill 2 that illustrates the impact of bully-like behavior
- How even a small lie can affect a relationship down the road
- What toxic judgment is and how it can affect interpersonal relationships as well as inhibit progress
- What humility looks like in a leader and why it's important
- How avoidance just makes things worse
- Why how we respond is a choice we can make
- How his attorney father, who worked in the civil rights movement in the South in the 1960s, demonstrated how to embrace conflict and difficult moments

“It’s very simple. Decide when you get up in the morning that you’re going to have a terrific day, no matter what happens.” — Dr. Sri Rao
My guest this week is Dr. Srikumar Rao, an elite coach who works with business executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs. He is widely known for his popular course, Creativity and Personal Mastery, first developed for Columbia Business School. His talk, “How Can You Plug-in to Happiness Now?” has had more than a million downloads and he is the author of two bestselling books, Are You Ready to Succeed? and Happiness at Work.
In our conversation Dr. Rao explains how we are all essentially prisoners of our own mind; that we create our own reality, and we all have the ability to break out of it. The key to having a great day starts with simply deciding it will be great, no matter what life throws at you, and at the same time surrendering any idea that we are in control of what happens. He also stresses that everything we do is an expression of who we are and that we all have the ability to elevate consciousness in ourselves as well as in others. By becoming more aware of ourselves, we can learn to understand how we can make a better and bigger impact on the world.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- How a practice of gratitude can help you shift your awareness
- Why thinking we’re in control is at the root of most of our problems
- Why it’s good to work toward a goal, regardless of whether you achieve it
- How we can free ourselves simply by shifting the thought that the world does not and is not the way we think it should be
- Why our awareness is like a flashlight, and where we shine it makes all the difference
- How your work can be part of your spiritual path, and not separate from it
- How surrendering control can be good for business
- How you can make an impact through your daily actions
- Why he believes we as a species are better off than we ever have been before

“What does it mean to lead from a context of curiosity, to being more committed to learning than being right?” — Kaley Klemp
This week, I chat with Kaley Klemp, a transformational executive and leadership coach and coauthor of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. She helps leaders align themselves with their priorities and values; she also helps high performing teams overcome challenges using Conscious Leadership practices. Kaley is a master enneagram specialist, a personality system which guides people to uncover their own strengths and understand their motivations. She is the author of The Drama-Free Office and The 13 Guidelines for Effective Teams.
Kaley is also coauthor with her husband, Nate Klemp, of The 80/80 Marriage: How To Build a Stronger, Happier Marriage, a model they developed together in order to strengthen their own marriage.
In our conversation, we talk about some of the key ideas behind Kaley’s work with business leaders; how for her, there is no real divide between the professional and the personal, and that “wherever you go, there you are.” At the core of her work is always an appeal to getting curious and to being led by curiosity without judgment.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:
- Some of the ways that not taking 100% responsibility for our lives can show up and hinder our success
- How to become aware of imbalances in the four elements - reflection, knowledge, community, service - and how this can show us what we need to pay attention to in our lives
- How simply being curious can make a difference, whether you’re curious about your own experience or that of others
- What it means to “drift” below the line and how to get back on course
- How the “ripple effect” characterizes conscious entrepreneurs
- What the four zones are and which zone to aspire to
- How you can turn the people who annoy you the most into your teachers and allies
- Why, ultimately, you shouldn’t aim for “50/50” in your marriage
- What “slow fades” are and how they lead to distance in your marriage
- How to keep your marriage interesting and alive by staying curious
- Why some structure and planning might be the key for your sex life
- Some ways executives can foster connection in the workplace, even in virtual spaces
- What the enneagram system can tell you about yourself
- Why leaders find an “intentional pause” so helpful
- And so much more!

“A lot of being human is… pinballing around in this world, versus realizing that there's a deeper intention behind why we're here.” — Stephen Dinan
A little more wisdom is never a bad thing. And it might be easier to access than you think, if you’re open-minded.
My guest on the podcast this week is Stephen Dinan, a lifelong learner who now helps others on their quest for spiritual growth and awareness.
Dinan founded The Shift Network, an online educational platform offering courses and events on topics including enlightened business practices, previous lives, and energy medicine. He’s also a member of the Transformational Leadership Council, made up of like-minded leaders trying to improve the world.
Dinan used to be a self-described “atheist scientist type,” until the sudden death of a close friend shook up his worldview. Grappling with questions that science had no answer for, he turned to spiritualism.
He explored ways to reach higher levels of consciousness, psychic abilities, and reincarnation. Having initially planned to be a doctor, he realized he was supposed to make a difference through business. Dinan believes that conscious capitalism — using business as a force for good — is the key to making positive change in the world.
In this episode of Leading With Genuine Care, you’ll hear Dinan’s advice on how to lead a business that shuns short-term wins for long-term victories, encouraging employees to meet their spiritual needs, why we should think planet-first, and more.
You’ll also learn:
- The journey of our souls and how we choose our bodies
- What Dinan’s eighth grade self would think of him today
- How a trip to India helped him access a higher level of consciousness — and what that’s really like
- Why an Apollo astronaut created an institute to study spiritualist theories
- How the overview effect — seeing the whole Earth as one entity— changes your perspective
- How the COVID-19 pandemic proved that the world can work together
- Why more individuals are achieving their full potential today than ever before

“My mind has caused me tremendous pain in my life that has felt outside of my control. But I can build a relationship with it, and ultimately, my mind can be a good place to be.” — Matthew Hepburn
Your mind tries so hard to take care of you: Give it a little credit and a little help.
This week’s guest is Matthew Hepburn, a meditation teacher who knows first hand how complicated managing your own mental health can be.
While studying to be a jazz pianist in college, Hepburn started experiencing severe doubt and self-loathing, which led to depression. Looking for a way to soothe his dark thoughts, he turned to mindfulness meditation.
Hepburn’s practice showed him that although he couldn’t always change his external circumstances, he could find ways to play to his mind’s strengths, while also curbing it’s more anxiety-provoking tendencies. He wanted to share this insight with others.
You may know Hepburn from his work with Ten Percent Happier, a mindfulness meditation app and podcast for the meditation curious, as well as regular practitioners. He’s also set to host the podcast Twenty Percent Happier, in which he asks fellow meditation teachers the kinds of questions that students really want answered.
In this episode, Hepburn gives us a new perspective on busyness, and advice for addressing anxiety in the moment. He explains how to connect with nature no matter where you are (it’s closer than you think, promise) and how sincerity helped him find his true calling.
You’ll also learn:
- The connection between playing piano and mindfulness
- How practicing meditation and mindfulness helps us learn from life
- How to create a workable schedule (guilt- and FOMO-free)
- What snowboarding taught Hepburn about being present in the moment, even outside meditation
- Why feeling depressed and anxious is not a personal failing
- How to hear a symphony in the city
- When and how to get out of your brain’s way

“We need to find the interruptions that bring us out of the state of anxiety and into the present moment long enough that we can make better choices.” — Lodro Rinzler
You can’t completely avoid stress — so prepare yourself with the best tools available to manage it.
Lodro Rinzler has been practicing meditation since he was a child, and teaching it since he was in college. He’s the author of multiple books that help people apply Buddhist teachings to modern life, and runs courses on Buddhism and mindfulnesses.
But Rinzler says that it was only while writing his newest book, Take Back Your Mind: Buddhist Advice for Anxious Times, that he really learned how to use meditation and mindfulness to tackle stress and anxiety.
When painful and difficult things happen, our brains struggle to keep them in perspective. We tell ourselves increasingly terrifying stories about our troubles that don’t actually help us find a solution: They only amp up our stress, anxiety and anger.
Mindfulness can help us cut off those stories and find a fresh approach. It’s not about denying the way you feel, Rinzler says. It’s accepting those emotions, and then actively choosing to take a more hopeful view.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll learn practical tips Rinzler uses to manage his own anxiety, both in the moment and before; plus his theory on why anger is like fire, and how to accept that even our strongest emotions will pass if we manage them wisely.
You’ll also learn:
- Why learning to meditate is like learning a new language: It takes time and practice
- How stress and anxiety work in the brain
- How mindfulness can teach you to self-soothe in stressful situations
- About the practice of loving kindness (and how you can try it for yourself)
- Why nothing is as real as we think
- Why complaining is like scratching a bug bite
- And so much more!

“Every person has the opportunity to discover what their language is in the business world. The more time they spend living that language, the better they will do.” — Lewis Schiff
Being an entrepreneur gives you the freedom to get hands-on in every area of business. The best entrepreneurs learn which parts they excel at and which ones are better left to someone else — and they do as much of what they’re good at as they can.
Lewis Schiff calls this the first habit, and it’s just one of many pieces of wisdom he’s picked up over two decades and counting in business. Schiff sold two websites in the era of the dot-com boom, but it wasn’t until he became an author of books including The Armchair Millionaire, Business Brilliant and The First Habit that he really started to understand the unique challenges that come with being an entrepreneur.
Schiff is also the chairman of the Board of Experts for the Birthing of Giants fellowship: a program that schools business owners with companies making $5 million to $250 million in revenue on how to reach the next level.
He is also the executive director of Moonshots and Moneymakers, a conference produced by Birthing of Giants and Oxford University that shows entrepreneurs billion-dollar opportunities inside their markets — or even their own companies.
In this episode of Leading With Genuine Care, you’ll learn how the first habit can help you and your employees, how —and why — to know whether you’re operating a moonshot or a moneymaker, and why making yourself the lynchpin of your company is a design flaw.
You’ll also learn:
- Why entrepreneurship is a journey to self-discovery
- Why Lewis’ view of the Manhattan skyline made him feel lonelier than ever during the pandemic
- How a janitorial business was able to create 10x more value through one of Lewis' programs
- How you figure out what you're best at (hint: it's not easy!)
- Why you shouldn’t take your skills for granted
- What Lewis found out in his research on wealth
- Why asking great questions makes you the most valuable person in the room
- Lewis' (controversial) take on the best way to build a strong leadership team

“How do we hold transactions in their place, while also honoring the much larger spectrum of the human experience?” — Nipun Mehta
You’ve probably heard of paying it forward: Responding to an act of kindness someone shows you by helping another person. To Nipun Mehta, it’s not just a nice idea, it’s a way of living and leading that can change all our lives for the better.
Nipun is a former Silicon Valley computer scientist who traded Big Tech for big ideas. He founded ServiceSpace, a support network for projects that nurture kindness and compassion. The idea is to build a community of people who do things for each other not in exchange for money or other material rewards, but with the aim of creating an ecosystem based on kindness.
It’s an ambitious project, but Nipun isn’t in a rush. As with everything in life, he'd rather go slow and build systems that work than follow the stereotypical Silicon Valley motto "move fast and break things."
You may be aware of Nipun from his various TED Talks. He’s also been praised for his ideas about spreading compassion by no less than Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama. In 2019, he received the Goi Peace Award — having turned it down multiple times previously.
In this episode of Leading With Genuine Care, Nipun explains how we’re already all engaging in indirect reciprocity, why he never takes shortcuts in relationships or life, and what a bold trek across India taught him about the connection between uncertainty and compassion.
You’ll also learn:
- How to escape our narrow reciprocity feedback loops
- The collective power of paying it forward
- How his mom and dad’s “sandbox” approach to parenting shaped Nipun’s outlook
- Why he’s proud to be someone who cares a lot
- How a walking pilgrimage through India forever changed his perspective on compassion
- How a plumber moved Nipun to tears
- Why ServiceSpace doesn't have a plan
- Where to find the best apples in the world (and why this is important)

“The power of love, that's what I experience every day. Just looking into the children’s eyes: that's enough.” — Sister Lucy Kurien
Facing an imposing goal with limited resources, many of us would give in, unsure of where to even start. Sister Lucy Kurien took on a mission that seemed almost impossible — and she’s still aiming higher.
Sister Lucy became a nun at 19, because she wanted to help the impoverished people of India. She joined the Holy Cross order, and worked for its Human Organisation for Pioneering in Education (HOPE) in Pune, a city in the western Indian state of Maharashtra.
The organization offered vocational training for women, but not shelter. One day, Sister Lucy was forced to turn away a heavily pregnant woman begging for a place to stay, away from her abusive husband. He murdered her that night.
The incident shook Sister Lucy to her core. Despite having no money or experience, she resolved to start a shelter for women and children from all religious, caste and class backgrounds, who needed to escape domestic violence and poverty.
Sister Lucy opened the first Maher home six years later, in 1997, and gave it a motto: “Always room for one more.”
In this episode of Leading With Genuine Care, you’ll learn from Sister Lucy about how her faith helped her fight the odds, following her conscience even when it made her mission harder, the impact of COVID-19 on Maher, and her message for people of all religions.
You’ll also learn:
- How Mother Teresa inspired Sister Lucy's work
- The meaning of Maher's motto, “Always room for one more”
- How Sister Lucy overcame her fears to start the first Maher home
- How she’s stayed true to Maher's non-religious origins
- How it really feels to be considered an inspiration
- About her meeting with former US President Bill Clinton and Pope Francis
- The lessons Sister Lucy wants to pass on to the children in her care
- Advice she has for everyone — you may be surprised!

“A lot of people in the business world tell me they don't have 30 minutes for mindfulness. … [But] there are all these opportunities for mindfulness hidden in life.” — Nate Klemp
Mindfulness is good for more than a morning meditation or a nighttime wind-down. Used consistently, it can help you feel less anxious in every moment of your life.
This week, Nate Klemp, author and co-founder of corporate coaching company LifeXT, tells me how he draws on his mindfulness practice in daily tasks, from answering emails to taking crowded flights.
Nate originally wanted to be a philosopher, but a serious bike injury and disillusion with academia turned his focus to finding practical applications for the ideas he was studying. In his quest, he discovered mindfulness, and started to look into its potential for improving mental health.
With his LifeXT co-founder Eric Langshur, Nate wrote a book, Start Here: Master the Lifelong Habit of Wellbeing, about using mindfulness to decrease stress and improve mood. He followed it up with The 80/80 Marriage: A New Model for a Happier, Stronger Relationship, written with his wife Kaley Klemp.
In our conversation, we talk about how Nate uses mindfulness and meditation as tools, the importance of making an effort in your relationships every single day, and how to manage distractions beyond just ignoring them.
You’ll also learn:
- How physical adjustments can affect your mental state
- How to really enjoy the mental health benefits of nature, wherever you live
- About “email apnea” and how to address it
- How to use habit stacking to improve your daily routine
- How to instantly shift your mental state through gratitude
- Why micro-moments matter more than dramatic gestures — at work and at home
- And more!

“We can begin to develop habits of positive thinking, feeling and doing, which become more accessible because we're using them more often. In turn, the negative connections become less reinforced, and they weaken in our neural networks.” — Scott Glassman
Learning to apply positive psychology doesn’t mean changing your mindset overnight. Instead, Scott Glassman, Psy.D., recommends starting your journey into prioritizing positivity with small, manageable steps.
Dr. Glassman worked with Martin Seligman, Ph.D., one of the founding fathers of positive psychology, in Dr. Seligman’s lab at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Glassman has spent the last eight years at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, where he created the A Happier You program.
Over seven sessions, patients at the college's health center were taught how to build a self care practice and techniques for managing stress, based on tenets of positive psychology. The college leaders were so happy with the results, they made A Happier You available to staff, faculty and students.
To reach even more people, Glassman has also turned the program into a book: A Happier You: A Seven-Week Program to Transform Negative Thinking into Positivity and Resilience.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, Glassman explains why gratitude helps us feel connected to the world even when we’re alone, and how to counter the human tendency towards the negative by creating an upward spiral.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
- Why little actions can improve our happiness
- How and why to take your happiness temperature
- The importance of setting up your day with a strong foundation
- Why we tend to pay attention to what's going wrong
- Why positive psychology doesn’t mean always being happy
- Why we sometimes don't make changes in our lives
- Why expressing gratitude feels so good
- And so much more!

“If you start with, ‘This is the thing we want to change, we're happy to play our role and be part of a broader movement,’ I truly believe that you can change the world, while making money.”
Being kind has never been cooler — or more profitable — for businesses. This week, I learn from Chris Gale why he believes corporations really can be a tool for positive change — if leaders’ hearts are truly in the right place.
Gale is the Head of Social Impact for eBay UK, and was previously Head of Social Mission Strategy in Europe for Ben & Jerry’s. (For the record, he’s a Cherry Garcia or Chunky Monkey man.)
eBay’s global mission is guaranteeing economic opportunities for everyone in the world. In the UK, that manifests as free training schemes to help social purpose businesses find wider audiences, showcased in the eBay for Change marketplace.
In our conversation, we discussed the pros and cons of businesses getting involved with social missions, mistakes to avoid, and how to balance the desire to do good with the drive for profit.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll also learn:

Many of us prioritize compassion for others, but what about compassion for ourselves? This week, hear from a pioneer on mindful self-compassion, Kristin Neff. As a bestselling author, co-founder of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion, and an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, Neff is at the forefront of self-compassion research.
Over 20 years ago, Neff was part of the first empirical studies on self-compassion. Most recently, Neff’s work focuses on balancing personal self-acceptance with the courage to make the changes needed to live a happy, successful life.
In addition to her numerous academic articles and other writings on self-compassion, Neff is the author of Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive and Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself.
Neff also co-developed Mindful Self-Compassion, a widely-supported training program, with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer. Today, it’s taught worldwide by thousands of instructors. Together, they wrote the Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook and Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program: A Guide for Professionals.
In this wisdom-packed episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you’ll learn about growing a practice of self-compassion, the science and psychology behind the benefits of compassion, and why being kinder to ourselves can change our lives in more ways than we could ever imagine.

“Teach them how to be—not how to appear to be.”
Amazing education shouldn’t exist as a one-size-fits-all system according to Pawan Gupta. Pawan has been an advocate for quality education tailor-made for each unique community and every student. As the founder SIDH, an NGO based in the Himalayas of India, Pawan turned away from mainstream educational practices and built alternative schools and systems perfectly equipped for those they serve.
Over 30 years ago, Pawan launched SIDH after realizing that the generic education taught to kids in rural India didn’t fit their actual needs. Today, Pawan and his team remain committed to designing schools that integrate the aspirations, ecology, demographics, and culture of these communities. He also writes and speaks worldwide on alternative education models and how other leaders can create similar successes.
In this episode of the Leading with Genuine Care podcast, you’ll also learn:

- How Pawan was inspired to start SIDH
- About education in rural India

“If there was ever a time to make changes in America, this is that moment.”— Mayor Randall Woodfin, Mayor of Birmingham, Alabama
When Mayor Randall Woodfin was elected to his hometown’s highest political office at just 36, his mission was to improve the lives of every citizen by investing in youth programs, revitalizing blighted neighborhoods, eliminating food deserts, reducing crime, creating more green spaces, and encouraging more civic participation—just to name a few.
But then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, closely followed by the death of George Floyd. With communities from all over the country and world faced with these challenges, Mayor Woodfin has shown remarkable calm and clarity. Though his primary goals never shifted, it was clear that new conversations and difficult decisions had to happen.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, Mayor Woodfin and I talk about how these events have impacted himself as a leader as well as those in his own community. We also discuss how leaders can take action in the fight for equality, which factors guide his decision-making, and lessons learned from the late civil rights leader John Lewis. In this episode, you’ll also learn:
- Mayor Woodfin’s strategy for strengthening Birmingham
- Why we need to talk less and listen more
- What it’s like to be a mayor during the COVID pandemic
- How growing up in a crowded, multi-generational home influenced Mayor Woodfin
- Why we need to participate in our communities on every level
- Mayor Woodfin’s vision for a better education system
- Why cities are “only as strong as its lowest quality-of-life neighborhood”
- How to make life better for those communities
- Why having core values are important to guide city employees
- Why Mayor Woodfin says Confederate monuments are un-American
- How these statues demonstrate our toxic revisionist history
- What impact John Lewis had on Mayor Woodfin
- Why Mayor Woodfin enacted a mask requirement despite pushback
- Which two lenses Mayor Woodfin makes all COVID-related decisions through
- How collectivism and unity can benefit the U.S. during the pandemic
- Why moving past conversations alone can help heal racial divides
- What those in power can do to move the needle against racism
- And so much more.
Enjoy my inspiring and empowering conversation with Mayor Randall Woodfin.
More about Mayor Randall Woodfin:
In 2017, Randall Woodfin was sworn in as mayor of Birmingham, Alabama. He’s a Birmingham native, a graduate of Morehouse University and Cumberland School of Law, and the former president of the Birmingham Board of Education.
Mayor Woodfin is dedicated to “Putting People First”—a phrase that’s central to his administration. With a new vision and energy, Mayor Woodfin wants every citizen to have the opportunity to live and work in a safe, thriving city that they’re proud to call home.

“If you want to be happy in this lifetime, make sure your motivation is to benefit all sentient beings.” — His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Cindy Vuu, CEO of Biti’s
Few people embody positive, people-first leadership like Cindy Vuu, the CEO of Biti’s—with over 8,600 employees, they are the largest footwear brand in Vietnam. Cindy is not only a shoe fanatic. She’s also a firm believer that companies with happier team members are more successful culturally and financially.
Cindy built the incredible work culture at Biti’s by integrating daily mindfulness practices, introducing a company-wide version of Gross National Happiness (GNH)—a system first introduced by Bhutan to monitor the wellbeing of its citizens.
In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, Cindy and I chat about everything from her advice on being a more compassionate business leader, how she supports thousands of employees’ happiness, her personal interactions with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and SO much more.
In this episode, you’ll also learn:
- Why Cindy believes in a simple life
- What measures the Biti’s leadership team are taking during COVID-19
- Why Cindy believes Vietnam has done well to help contain the spread of COVID-19
- Cindy’s tips on being present for her team and her community
- What Gross National Happiness (GNH) is
- Why Cindy launched a GNH program at Biti’s
- How His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s book, The Art of Happiness influenced Cindy
- Why meetings at Biti’s begin with two minutes of mindfulness
- How Ha Vinh Tho helped Cindy learn more about Bhutan and GNH
- Advice on integrating more compassion and happiness into your life
- And so much more!
More About Cindy Vuu
Biti’s, a national heritage footwear brand in Vietnam. The brand is so well-known there that nearly all Vietnamese have likely worn Biti’s shoes at some point in their lives.
Cindy also is known for driving the successful comeback of Biti’s amid fierce foreign brand competition. Much of this comeback is attributed to the marketing campaign of the Biti’s Hunter line in 2017. By collaborating with massive Vietnamese musical artist Son Tung and promoting a message seeped in mindfulness and connection, the initiative transformed the brand back up to its current top spot as Vietnam’s #1 footwear company.

“Be kind because kindness matters—and love the people you love as much as you can.”
In today’s divided world, what can individuals and their communities do to heal together? That’s a question Cathy Sloss Jones has been asking since growing up in Birmingham, Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
Rather than wait for others to make the changes she hoped to see in her hometown, Cathy jumped in herself. For decades, she’s become a leader in creating healthy, vibrant, and equitable neighborhoods with her company, Sloss Real Estate. Her team largely focuses on urban development and revitalization in ways that supports diversity and inclusivity.
Cathy has also become a staunch advocate for bridging the divides made in communities after centuries of racial inequality and injustice. She encourages everyone to take action, be kind—and perhaps most importantly—genuinely listen to those being impacted the most.
In this week’s Leading with Genuine Care podcast, Cathy and I chat about the importance of intentional community building, why she became so passionate for these projects, and how to play an active role in fighting against racial and socioeconomic inequality. You’ll also learn:
- How growing up in Birmingham in the 60s influenced her life
- Why listening is integral in healing today’s racial divide
- What we can do to fix our broken systems
- How can have more honest conversations about race in the U.S.
- Which people have most influenced Cathy
- How can government better serve our local communities
- What is Pepper Place
- How the Pepper Place Market supports local farmers
- Why the Market brings the community together
- How meditation helps her love others better
- If Cathy is optimistic about America’s future
- And much more!
More About Cathy Sloss Jones
Cathy was an active participant in creating Birmingham’s City Center Master Plan and chaired the Downtown Redevelopment Authority for over 15 years.
Her most noteworthy projects include Birmingham’s Pepper Place which involved renovating an abandoned Dr. Pepper syrup plant and turning the area into vibrant mixed-use district. It’s now widely recognized as Birmingham’s premiere design district.
Her company also acted as co-developer of Park Place which was Birmingham’s first HOPE VI project. Six city blocks of obsolete public housing were developed into a twelve-block mixed-use, mixed-income community.
She is the recipient of numerous awards including Birmingham Businesswoman of the Year, Women Who Make A Difference, ULI Atlanta Award for Excellence for her work at Pepper Place, and Executives of Influence, Birmingham’s Most Influential Executives and Top 40 Under 40 All-Stars.

“We can all have this common goal and always ask ourselves, ‘What is it I'm doing? Is it contributing to bringing more happiness and wellbeing to all? Or is it degrading happiness and wellbeing?’
“If we all had this very simple North star...then it's a relatively simple way to have a compass to guide our actions.” — Dr. Ha Vinh Tho, Founder of the Eurasia Learning Institute for Happiness and Wellbeing
After helping to create the Gross National Happiness program in the small country of Bhutan, Dr. Ha Vinh Tho was determined to find out.
On this week’s episode of Leading with Genuine Care, Rob chats with Dr. Tho about why businesses that focus on happiness and fulfillment as much as profit can transform not just individual companies, but also our economy, government, and our society as a whole.
Dr. Tho is the founder of the Eurasia Learning Institute for Happiness and Wellbeing and former Director of the Gross National Happiness Centre in Bhutan. He’s also a Buddhist teacher in the Vietnamese Zen tradition, was ordained by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, and a Ph.D. in Psychology and Education from Geneva University.
Listen in as he discusses what it means to live a meaningful life and why compassion is more essential than ever during today’s tumultuous times.
In this episode, you’ll also learn:
- Why entrepreneurs are specially equipped to be a force for good
- How compassion boosts employee engagement
- Why it is so important to lead with care and compassion
- How to be more compassionate towards others
- What compassionate listening is
- Why healthy, compassionate dialogue can heal rifts
- What the Gross National Happiness (GNH) is
- If GNH could be more critical than GDP
- Tho’s insights on today’s turmoil in the U.S.
- Why we should show compassion to both victims and perpetrators
- Tho’s experience at the Gross National Happiness Centre in Bhutan
- What three components lead to a truly happy life
- Why strong relationships create more meaning
- How nature factors into our happiness
- Why we need to consider both IQ and EQ
- And SO much more!

Together, we talk about why we decided to launch a podcast focused on positive, empathetic leadership, what listeners should expect to hear each week, and how more kindness and genuine care for others will make life on this planet better for everyone.

Entrepreneur. Composer. Artist. Tech pioneer. Mindful leader. These are just a few words that describe Murray Hidary. Early in his career, Murray had great success on the internet by introducing new technology before most people knew it existed.
Then, after growing and selling several successful businesses, Murray went back to his first love—classical composing. He then discovered a way to meld music, tech, and our growing interest in mindfulness with his newest venture, MindTravel.
MindTravel is a one-of-a-kind immersive musical event. Participants will view the world from a different perspective after experiencing live, improvised musical compositions that reflect the unique surroundings. These locations have included places like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Grace Cathedral, and Burning Man, as well as in cities, theatres, beaches, and parks around the world.
He also ties MindTravel with discussions about entrepreneurship, creativity, and life in general. More recently, he’s introduced the MindTravel SilentWalk and MindTravel SilentHike, which offer participants a new way of seeing their surroundings.

Most leaders genuinely want to help solve problems for their team members. But what happens when jumping in could potentially create even more problems due to factors like added stress, time restraints, or a lack of resources?
Listen as Anese explains the meaning of HELP, which she created to help leaders tackle workplace problem-solving in a way that’s productive and of service to both the employee, the leader, and the workplace as a whole.

Great leadership means supporting your own team members so they can grow, thrive, and eventually become great leaders themselves.
In this clip, Anese explains why ego often prevents even well-intentioned leaders from stepping back and allow others to lead. She also discusses the additional benefits of letting others become the “smartest people in the room” like providing yourself space in continuing to grow and learn as a leader.

Before Scott Kriens led the multi-billion-dollar Silicon Valley tech company, Juniper Networks, he was ambitious—yet relatively directionless—and searching for the right path forward. Over 35 years later, Scott’s now a renowned leader who excels at building teams and connecting people through learning, growing, and finding purpose.
In this episode of the donothing podcast, Scott and I chat about how he found business success, his inspiration for later creating the 1440 Foundation and 1440 Multiversity, why it’s critical to create a life beyond possessing more and suffering less, what surprising things parenting and leadership have in common, and so much more.
Currently, Scott is the chairman and former CEO of Juniper Networks. He founded Juniper back in 1996 and has since grown the company to over $4 billion in global sales and currently employs more than 10,000 employees around the world.
Scott and his wife Joanie launched 1440 Foundation, a nonprofit organization “committed to the cultivation of truly real and connected relationships, with yourself and others.” In 2017, the Foundation’s success led Scott and Joanie to launch 1440 Multiversity, a modern learning destination set in the redwoods of Santa Cruz County.
In this episode of the donothing podcast, you’ll learn about:
- What led to Juniper’s eventual success
- How Scott began teaching leadership development
- Scott’s top leadership values and mantras
- Why it’s always better to do something in business than do nothing
- How business success is like a sailboat
- Why it’s ok to not be 100% aligned with your colleagues
- Why showing that you care is essential to great leadership
- Which core values Scott holds most dear
- What the 1440 Multiversity is
- How and why every inch of 1440 was built with intention
- What Scott hopes visitors experience at 1440
- How building 1440 gave him true faith in the universe
- Which classes are taught at 1440 Foundation
- How 1440 fosters a space “where energy, discovery and creativity flourish.”
- Why it’s important to pass along good fortune
- How Scott starts his mornings
- What leadership and parenting have in common
- Why modeling your habits is so important
- How the first 50 employees will define a company’s culture
- Scott’s own diverse spiritual journey
- Why his father’s death pushed him to start exploring meditation
- His unpredictable rise as a salesman
- The advantages of learning through hardship
- Why modern parents need to be more mindful
- What parents can offer their kids to prepare them for difficult times
- Why teaching children doesn’t work
- Why it’s better to be an imperfect parent—not a plastic one

Chip Conley doesn’t believe that modern business success is best kept for the young. In fact, this New York Times bestselling author, Airbnb Strategic Advisor and boutique hotel entrepreneur learned that with experience comes wisdom, which doesn’t mean you have all the answers . . . in fact, it means you have more questions than answers.
Inspired by what he learned while serving as Airbnb’s Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy in his mid-50s, Chip wrote his “manifesto on ageism,” Wisdom@Work: The Making of a Modern Elder. To combat the stigma against older workers in an increasingly Millennial world, Chip proves that generational diversity is the key to creating strong organizations.
But this episode is packed full with more than just age-related insights. We also dig into his young entrepreneurial success with Joie de Vivre Hospitality, philosophies on mindfulness and meditation, near-death experiences, longtime work with Burning Man, and SO much more.
In this episode of the donothing podcast, you’ll learn:
- Why ageism is so prevalent in today’s workforce
- What those in midlife and beyond offer that younger employees can’t
- Why aging is underrated, especially while in the workforce
- How employees at different life stages can learn from each other
- What the Modern Elder Academy is
- How longer lifespans and new technology inspired the Modern Elder Academy
- Why replacing fear with curiosity can alter many perspectives
- When Chip became inspired to write about workers in their midlife
- How Chip started his successful hotelier career
- Why trusting his intuition helped Chip make the smart decisions
- When Chip started working for Airbnb
- Why Chip greatly admires Airbnb’s leadership
- Chip’s amazing advice on meditation and breathing techniques
- Why Chip advocates mindfulness and meditation
- Why Chip regularly fasts and does cleanses
- Chip’s experience as a long-time Burning Man board member
- What makes the Burning Man community so unique
- Why the board made Burning Man a nonprofit
- How an “anarchistic organization” like Burning Man is so well-organized
- Chip’s near-death experience that made him reconsider his current path
- What Chip saw on “the other side” when he was flatlining

“For the first time ever, we have five generations in the workplace at the same time,” says entrepreneur Chip Conley. What would happen if we were intentional about how we all work together?
In this talk, Chip shows how age diversity makes companies stronger and calls for different generations to mentor each other at work, with wisdom flowing from old to young and young to old alike.

“In the process, Conley liberates the term "elder" from the stigma of "elderly," and inspires us to embrace wisdom as a path to growing whole, not old. Whether you've been forced to make a mid-career change, are choosing to work past retirement age, or are struggling to keep up with the millennials rising up the ranks, Wisdom@Work will help you write your next chapter.”

The unique curriculum includes classroom learning as well as bread baking and breaking, impromptu dance parties, cultural experiences, morning meditations, and surreal sunsets. The experience supports our attendees (“compadres,” whose average age is 52) as they navigate this midlife journey and reframe a lifetime of experience.”

I’m thrilled to have Gino Wickman, the author of the best-selling book Traction and creator of the EOS system, back on the podcast—this time as my next guest on the donothing Wisdom Series.
Gino recently released his newest book, Entrepreneurial Leap, which explores what it really takes to become a successful entrepreneur. Truthfully, Gino believes it’s not the right career for everyone. Even if it “breaks some hearts” in the process, he’d rather readers discover their own destinies sooner than later—even if it’s not as an entrepreneur.
In the first part of a three-part series, Gino and I discuss how anyone can “Confirm” if entrepreneurship is the right path forward. And if it is, what can aspiring business owners do to turn their dreams into a reality?
Now, let’s take a leap of entrepreneurial self-discovery with Gino Wickman. Listen to the full 30-minute podcast: The Wisdom Series, with Gino Wickman – Taking the Entrepreneurial Leap: Part 1 , or enjoy this nugget of wisdom pulled directly from the episode itself.

I’m humbled and honored to welcome Thupten Jinpa to the donothing podcast. Born to displaced Tibetan refugees, Jinpa was raised in India. At just 11, he decided to become a monk and join a monastery. While there, he was connected with His Holiness (H.H.) the Dalai Lama as a new translator. Jinpa has been the Dalai Lama’s principal translator since 1985.
After over a decade in the Tibetan monastic order, Jinpa left to pursue a B.A. in philosophy and a Ph.D. in religious studies, both from Cambridge University—all with an emphasis on compassion studies. He achieved both and also holds the Geshe Lharam degree.
Today, Jinpa is the founder and president of the Compassion Institute, the Chair of Mind and Life Institute, founder of the Institute of Tibetan Classics, and an adjunct professor at the School of Religious Studies at McGill University. He’s also the main author of CCT (Compassion Cultivation Training), an eight-week formal program developed at Stanford University.
Over the years, Jinpa’s translated and edited numerous books by the Dalai Lama including the New York Times Bestsellers, Ethics for the New Millennium, and The Art of Happiness. He’s also written several works of his own including Mind Training: The Great Collection, Self, Reality, and Reason in Tibetan Philosophy, A Fearless Heart: How the Courage to be Compassionate Can Transform Our Lives and co-authored Dispelling the Darkness: A Jesuit’s Quest for the Soul of Tibet.
In this episode of the donothing podcast, you’ll learn:
- Why Jinpa believes in setting intentions
- What Jinpa’s daily meditation practice looks like
- When Jinpa learned how to speak English
- What Jinpa’s first experience with the Dalai Lama was like as a child

- What the Dalai Lama’s reaction to Jinpa’s decision was
- How Jinpa was accepted to Cambridge University
- Why Jinpa focused his studies on compassion
- How science explains the benefits of mindfulness
- Why Jinpa established the Compassion Institute

Sleeping well is really hard! If you’ve battled with turning off at night, you’re far from alone. In this Nugget of Wisdom, Patricia and Rob talk about their own sleep struggles, discuss what often causes chronic insomnia, and uncover how mindfully reframing sleeplessness can make a massive difference in your life.
Patricia also dives into the fascinating medical and scientific research she learned while creating a Sleep Basics course for Meditation Studio. Listen in and learn their favorite tools for getting some serious shut eye.
How truly present are you for yourself and for those around you? Even for regular mindful practitioners, the art of presence is an ongoing life challenge. However, especially as leaders, it’s an important one to master.
In this Nugget of Wisdom, Patricia Karpas explains why showing up—and the self-awareness to practice doing so—is such an essential skill to carry into the workplace and into everyday life. She also digs into why we should witness our own selves with curiosity, what the RAIN practice is, the power of pause, and more.
Ready to kickstart a more mindful life? Then don’t miss these Nuggets of Wisdom from Meditation Studio co-founder, Patricia Karpas. These practices aren’t always easy, but they’re often the first steps towards a more present, clarity-filled future.
Together, Patricia and Rob discuss why taking things less personally, letting go of judgment and practicing more kindness and forgiveness towards ourselves creates a better reality for everyone in our lives. After all, if you aren’t caring for your own self—how can you really care for those around you?
I’m excited to share my conversation with the next guest to join me as part of the donothing podcast Wisdom Series, Patricia Karpas. Patricia is the co-founder of the 5-Star rated Meditation Studio app, which is now part of the Muse meditation family. She’s also the host of the popular mindfulness podcast, Untangle.
In this episode, I dig into her vast wealth of mindfulness knowledge including how meditation can make us better leaders, why we need to be kinder to ourselves, and what advice she has when it comes to getting a better night’s sleep.
We’ll also discuss some of the scientific studies she researched while developing her meditation programs, which authors and thinkers she loves, plus more great insights on living a more mindful life.
Enjoy Patricia’s words of wisdom!
In this week’s donothing podcast, you’ll learn:
- How Patricia defines mindfulness
- What a moment of reflection can do during tense situations
- Which mindful researchers, authors, thinkers, and leaders Patricia admires
- How to take yourself off autopilot
- What mindful self-compassion is
- How learning mindful practices will positively impact those around you
- Why forgiveness is essential to living a mindful, peaceful life
- How anxiety often leads to insomnia
- What Patricia’s favorite sleep tips are
- Why great sleep habits take practice

Listen in as I chat with Charles Coristine, the President and CEO of LesserEvil Snacks, about how he turned around his once-struggling business, what he does to foster a positive, fun company culture, why meditation has become so integral to his life, and much more.

LesserEvil now employs 75 people at its Danbury, Connecticut headquarters. Their snacks are available across the U.S. and Canada at retailers such as Whole Foods Market, Publix, Kroger, Amazon and Wegmans.
Charles is also an avid meditator, fitness fanatic and family man. He’s always mindful about how he leads his life and his company.

As we walk through life, many of us never know the near misses with tragedy we avoid due to an unknown twist of fate. For others, however, that near-miss was broadcast worldwide and will be forever remembered.
Bo Burlingham, author of the best-selling books Small Giants, The Great Game of Business and Finish Big, co-founder of the Small Giants Community and recent donothing guest, was one of those people. This week, we’re deviating from our typical podcast format to share his unbelievable story.
...
On September 11th, 2001, 2,977 innocent people lost their lives—and Bo was nearly among them.
That Tuesday over 17 years ago, Bo had plans to travel from Boston to Los Angeles with a seat booked on American Airlines Flight 11. However, a twist of fate moved him to change his flight. Instead of sitting on that plane, he watched in horror as it plunged into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Listen to Bo’s incredible story about that terrible day and discover how his brush with mortality changed his entire outlook on life.
In this special episode of the donothing podcast, you’ll learn:
- Where Bo was planning on flying to on 9/11/2001
- Why Bo missed Flight 11 on September 11th
- How Bo found out that he was supposed to be on that flight
- What Bo’s first reaction was when he heard “his flight” hit the Twin Towers
- How Bo’s near miss with death changed his outlook on life
- Why Bo considers this near-miss a blessing—and not just because he survived
- How others including his family and colleagues like Jack Stack and Norm Brodsky reacted to the events of 9/11 and came together in the wake of tragedy
- Why it took several days for Bo and his wife, Lisa, to reunite
- How Bo’s sense of gratitude deepened after this experience
- Why Bo doesn’t want the memory of his brush with death to fade
- What Bo has had the opportunity to enjoy thanks to missing Flight 11
- Why gratitude is often the silver lining behind tragedy

No matter how busy life gets, brothers Joe and Andy Lopez-Gallego believe that anyone should be able to enjoy delicious, fresh and healthy food.

Yunha Kim, the founder and CEO of Simple Habit, wasn’t always a meditator. Instead, it took her being a stressed-out former investment banker turned startup leader on the brink of burnout to give meditation a try. Once she did, Yunha finally felt the relief her mind and body was craving and never looked back.
After selling her first startup and pursuing her MBA at Stanford, she began envisioning a new kind of meditation app—one specifically aimed at busy people like her. This led to her to leave Stanford and develop Simple Habit. Now, it’s the #1 rated meditation app in the App Store and the 2018 Google Play Award Winner for Standout Wellbeing App.
In 2017, Yunha was also honored by Forbes 30 Under 30 and Marie Claire's New Guard.
Today, Simple Habit features more than 2,000 sessions based on situations like sleeping, morning anxiety and lack of focus. Busy people rely on Simple Habit’s short meditations and audio therapy sessions from world-class experts to reduce daily stress.
Yunha’s also on a mission to combat high levels of burnout in the workplace. The World Health Organization recently classified workplace burnout as an official syndrome in the International Classification of Diseases. Simple Habit has a curated series of 5-minute meditations and audio therapy sessions specifically to help burnt-out individuals receive the help they need, when they need it.

Ellie Burrows Gluck always imagined she’d have a fruitful career in the film industry. But once she actually achieved this dream, she realized the joy just wasn’t there. With a personal commitment to never squander life’s opportunities, Ellie made it her mission to find a purpose that perpetuated positivity and a career she truly loved.
After searching inside and out for the answer, Ellie discovered an unwavering passion for mindfulness. She established MNDFL after noticing her bustling home of New York City lacked quiet and accessible meditative spaces to find moments of inner peace. With a mission to provide welcoming, friendly studios made for anyone, MNDFL is on its way to redefining modern mindfulness. Listen to Ellie’s story and learn how she finally found joy—and business success—by sharing the benefits of mindfulness and meditation.
Ellie Burrows Gluck is the Chief Executive Officer of MNDFL, as well as a Vedic Meditation teacher, certified personal development coach and writer. After graduating magna cum laude from Northwestern University, Ellie served as an executive in the film business for a number of years, focusing on the business side of film: producing, selling, financing and finding new talent.
When her meetings began to evolve into coaching sessions around effective communication and interpersonal relationships, she chose to pursue mindfulness in a more
meaningful way. Deciding to travel the world as a spiritual tourist, Ellie ultimately returned to New York where she received her Certificate in Coaching from NYU. Shortly thereafter, in 2014, she hatched the idea for MNDFL with her co-founder and friend Lodro Rinzler.
Along the way, Ellie was exposed to Vedic Meditation. What started as a daily practice turned into a full-blown love affair, and beginning in 2017 Ellie completed her 2000-hour teacher training program under master teacher Théo Burkhardt.

Welcome to the donothing® Podcast with Rob Dube where we explore how mindful leaders create extraordinary cultures that impact their teams, communities, and ultimately the world. I'm Rob Dube, president and co-founder of imageOne, author of the book “donothing®” and host of the donothing® Podcast: how mindful leaders create extraordinary cultures.
I was curious, how can we as leaders continually deliver an extraordinary experience to our team members? I've had the good fortune of having many wonderful mentors in my life, and I've noticed one common thread. They are servant leaders focused on awareness and presence. Being in the moment and being a lifter-upper.
Thirteen years ago, I decided to donothing® -- or said differently, take on a meditation practice to help me with my anxiety and to settle my mind and practice awareness. It served me well.
My company imageOne was ranked by Forbes magazine as one of the “25 Best Small Giants” in America, and I don't believe that anyone can really lead effectively unless they have a personal practice that allows them to be their best self every day.
So I'm going to interview leaders from around the world to learn how they donothing®, the disciplines and practices that ensure they fully show up every day and to learn about their journey to servant leadership, the struggles they’ve faced in their lives, and how they’ve broken through.
We are going to dig deep together -- that I can guarantee you.
This podcast is for leaders really in any space, whether you're an emerging entrepreneur or a seasoned executive, a leader in the community, or an elected official. You will want to listen.
You're going to walk away with two or three nuggets from every interview; simple, impractical, and you'll be able to incorporate them into your leadership philosophy right away.
This is next level leadership. It's deeper, and it's vulnerable, and once embraced, you'll be upping the ante on delivering the extraordinary experience to your team and to the people around you in your life.
