Episode 25: Doing Work For the Good of Others with Jordan Raynor
Today’s episode is with author and serial entrepreneurial, Jordan Raynor. He believes that a major part of the human experience is doing excellent work in the service of others. We dive into how companies can create environments where deep work unto the pursuit of mastery can be fostered. We even touch on how hiring for diversity is incredibly important to implement in your organization.
Episode 8: Spirituality at Work with Mike Maeshiro
In today’s workplace where diversity and inclusion are paramount to a business’ success, we must consider all the ways to make an inclusive environment possible for our employees. What is often missed is their spirituality, a notoriously taboo subject at work, yet incredibly important to billions of people worldwide. But why? If we all agree that we are body, soul AND spirit, shouldn’t we explore a bit of what it could look like to start to include the 33% of our employees that we faithfully ignore?
Our guest today is Mike Maeshiro, an expert in spiritual intelligence, an entrepreneur, business leader, and a pastor. Most likely you’ll listen and be taken aback at the way Mike approaches certain leadership situations, how he motivates his team and how he assesses the environment at his workplace and how you can too!
Episode 6: Tackling the Touchy Subject of Masculinity in the Workplace with The Kings of Hearts
If you want vulnerable… you’ve come to the right place. If you want to listen to people who do not have it all figured out, are most definitely in process and are seeking to understand & learn… that’s here too.
This week’s episode features two of the co-founders of Kings of Hearts, Yenukwa (Nuke) Kombian and Andy Nguyen, whose mission is to create safe spaces for men, develop self-awareness & character skills while embracing vulnerability to live a life rooted in love & service. BOOM!
Without question, we are living in a world today where masculinity is almost a dirty word. It’s met with backlash, confusion and often a lot of hurt. And rightly so. And yet we are provoked to believe that we can change the narrative. This is a conversation about men being sometimes misunderstood, ways we can change & improve, and ways to switch the conversation from being all about gender to about humanity.
