Not knowing who we are, or our core values can cause uncertainty for our families as a whole. When we don’t date our spouse, it creates a level of insecurity for our kids. We discuss instilling a good value system from the very beginning, as well as how listeners who are already in the middle of their journey can regain control of this. In this episode, you’ll discover… What is the key trait to winning at work and at home? (1:18) Children see your relationship with your spouse. (5:17) The temptation to put other things ahead of your family (8:30) Kids in your business. (16:54) Jeremy’s Bio: The success of many organizations rests on their ability to create epiphanies in the minds of their audiences. Helping create those aha moments is why me and my friends founded Epipheo (epiphany + video) a video production agency based in Cincinnati, OH. When I'm not pondering the future of digital video you might find me coaching young dads, trying to study the Old Testament in Hebrew or reading obscure passages by J.R.R. Tolkien to my patient wife and five kids. What's Next? Are you struggling to win at both home and work? Maybe you’re crushing it at work, but home life is tough.

How to live Better Than Rich with Mike Abramowitz, entrepreneur, author, and podcast host
What season of life are you in? What season of life do you need to be in to accomplish certain goals or expectations you have for yourself? Today's guest Mike Abramowitz helps break down the many seasons we all experience in life, and how to best utilize them for the things we need to accomplish. We talk about how to excel even in the seemingly slow season of winter, and how to identify the different seasons. Enjoy this episode. In this episode, you’ll discover… What is the key trait to winning at work and at home? (1:03) How does Mike establish boundaries? (8:25) Explaining the seasons of life. (12:00) How to have boundaries despite restrictions. (20:24) Mike’s Bio: My name is Mike. And I wouldn’t be here today if not for the wisdom my mom taught me.My mom was a superhero in my eyes. No matter what was happening in my life (or hers) she was always there to lift me up, inspire me to keep going and to always lean into my strengths.I was an overweight teen who made the varsity basketball team and my mom used to cheer me on from the stands with encouragement to “use your strength, Mikey!”. I didn’t understand it then. I do now. See, my mom was diagnosed with cancer when I was in high school. She radiated love, positivity and empowerment. No matter what was happening, she would always make you feel like the most important person in the room when you spoke. It was a gift. A blessing. When I went to college in Florida my mom got sick again and I had to race home to her bedside. I didn’t know if I would make it but at the last moment, I did. Tears streamed down my face saying goodbye that day. A mark and impression left. Mom waited for me to be by her side before she passed. I didn’t know it then, but I do now. Mom was the one who taught me the strength to fight. The strength to let go and the ability to know when each is needed. After her death, I embraced those strengths. I became the District Executive for Vector Marketing, founder of PB&J for Tampa Bay, and the Founder of G.R.A.B. Tomorrow I travel the world helping individuals unlock more of their potential. Their own unique strengths. To not allow your greatest insecurities to define you but rather to inspire others and use them as the superpowers they really are. I have been blessed to have trained 4000 individuals to sell $14M in company products, launched a passion project to provide 80,000 meals, self published 9 books on various personal development topics, and be a top-0.5% producer out of 2M sales reps in the 40 year history of the company. My career, commitment and purpose is helping people open their mindsets to what’s possible when they fully commit to creating a strong foundation for their lives through tiny actions daily Learn more at <a href= "http://www.mikeabramowitz.c

Who do you spend your time with? with Stephen Woessner, CEO of Predictive ROI
Who do you spend the majority of your time with? Do their values, align with yours? Are they heading in the same direction that you want to be going? Have they accomplished things that you would like to do someday? Today’s guest Stephen Woessner opens up about just how important this is. How the people and things that surround your life, truly make a difference in the trajectory of your goals. In this episode, you’ll discover… What is the key trait to winning at work and at home? (1:12) When do you know to be patient? (5:50) How Stephen grounds himself (12:05) Your greater story. (17:49) Who you spend time with, matters. (31:31) Stephen’s Bio: For nearly two decades, Stephen Woessner has been in the trenches consulting with hundreds of clients and teaching them how to leverage Web 2.0 tactics like search engine optimization (SEO) and social media to expand into new markets, introduce new products, decrease costs, and increase revenues. Woessner is a leading Web 2.0 authority, bestselling author, and instructor at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Small Business Development Center. Woessner is also a business owner and has made costly mistakes along the way. He built one of his previous companies up to a valuation of $10 million and was planning an initial public offering. However, he lost millions when the dot com bubble imploded. This expensive lesson taught Woessner the valuable principle of always measuring the return on investment (ROI) before any action is taken. These lessons formed the foundation of his latest company, Predictive ROI. The company is based on a trademarked Web 2.0 method developed by Woessner. Instead of focusing on increasing traffic to a company’s website, Predictive ROI increases the right traffic...the traffic that provides the lowest bounce rate, the traffic that increases conversions...and Predictive ROI measures the increases in traffic and conversions before a single optimized content page is ever created. For example, the social networking aspect of Predictive ROI can increase website traffic by 23 percent and conversion rates by 780 percent. Woessner’s practical and tactical training sessions and keynote presentations are exactly aligned with this ROI principle. Attendees have commented that the most valuable benefit is that his processes empower executives, business owners, and managers so they can implement the steps and action plan themselves without needing technical skills. Woessner has been quoted in Inc. Magazine, E-commerce Times, B-to-B Online Magazine, Counselor Magazine, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Wisconsin Public Radio, and other media for his Web 2.0 insights. He frequently teaches training sessions throughout the University of Wisconsin system inclu

You're best equipped to serve your former self with Meredith Arlinghaus
How heavily do you rely on the knowledge that God will provide? When you feel a nudge to go in an unexpected direction, how quickly are you to listen? Or even investigate that nudge? Meredith Arlinghaus talks about just that. There may be those moments when we think “No way! That cannot be what God is telling me to do.” But when we throw our reliance on Him, we end up right where we are supposed to be. Today’s episode may help you to turn on your listening ears, and tune into what God is nudging you to do. In this episode, you’ll discover… What is the key trait to winning at work and at home? (1:28) How to have clarity during life's seasons. (3:20) Are you listening? (16:15) Deleting Social Media. (18:25) Meredith’s Bio: She was working in a traditional accounting role and felt stifled and burnt out. She was missing out on the best years with her family. And she decided it was time for a change. Meredith decided to take some time off to be a mom and started working part-time for a local non-profit that needed accounting support. In doing so, she realized that her skills were having a huge impact on the organization. Word spread about her skills and she began to scale a full-on outsourced bookkeeping, accounting and advisory business – all while spending more time with her family and achieving her financial goals. But it didn’t stop there. Soon, Meredith was serving 25+ clients and didn’t have capacity to take on more clients herself despite near-constant requests. These business owners had built great businesses, and Meredith wanted to help them experience the freedom to focus on what they do best. So she had an epiphany: What if she helped other talented accounting professionals break out from the traditional path and do exactly what she had done? And that’s when Empower was born. Our mission is simple: Pair busy business owners with world-class accounting professionals so that both can experience the freedom to build a career and a life they love.

Ambition, Lonliness, Fear, and Intentionality with Derek Mills, CEO of SquareCowMovers
You are not the sole provider of your family. God is. He has that weight and carries you through it. We control the input, God controls the impact. Today's guest Derek Mills reminds us that our responsibility lies in trusting God for the outcome of the hard work we put in. This isn't easy to do as life, stress, and family pressures may get in the way. This episode will be very encouraging for you if you can relate to these pressures. In this episode, you’ll discover… What is the key trait to winning at work and at home? (2:08) Why Derek still has his coach. (10:04) What to do when you feel like everything is on YOU. (15:01) Deleting Social Media. (18:25) Origin Story: If you asked the three Square Cow owners questions like, Why Texas? Why moving? Why 2008? The answer would likely be the same: family. The quest to start a Texas-based, family-owned moving company back in 2008 was simply a quest to bring their family together. That prevailing purpose allowed them to ignore the Texas heat, the seemingly impossible physical requirements of moving, and the worst recession since the Great Depression. In late 2007, their family was scattered and it seemed that everyone was in need of a career change. Wayne, the patriarch of the family, devised a plan. After learning his oldest daughter was moving to Austin, TX with her husband and small children, he persuaded his son, Wade, and son-in-law Derek to uproot their families and head west to the state where everything is bigger. Kicking the tires of several industries, ideas, and businesses lead them to a fateful meeting that forever changed their lives with the idea of starting their own moving company. With just 2 trucks, 3 family members, and a silly name, Square Cow Moovers was born. They launched March 1, 2008, to underwhelming results. However, as time passed, the gears of the small business began to grind, and little by little Square Cow grew. Instead of sudden “overnight success”, Square Cow grew by a multiple of one. Meaning, the goal became to move just one more sofa, then hire one more driver, then buy one more truck, and launch one more branch…and so on. That commitment to seeing something through was foundational, and would go on to yield well-deserved success. Today Square Cow spans 2 states with seven branches and hundreds of employees. The family grew, and our herd followed. What's Next? Are you struggling to win at both home and work? Maybe you’re crushing it at work, but home life is tough.

Rhythms, discipline, and mindset with Lantz Howard, Executive Coach and former pastor
How vulnerable are you with your kids? How do you encourage them when it comes to their future, goals, or head trash they may have? What are you doing that maybe you aren’t showing them, that could help them become better adults? Today's guest Lantz Howard talks about his intentionality with what he shows his kids when it comes to helping others. Not only that, but how important it is to remember why we do the things we do and adjust as our means change. I pray this episode leaves you encouraged, and excited to share more with your kids. In this episode, you’ll discover… What is your key trait to winning at work and at home? (2:02) What are some non-negotiables for his family? (3:57) How Lantz was intentional with his daughter, and why he recommends it. (7:20) Leaving the security of a paycheck, to become an entrepreneur. (12:00) Lantz’s Bio: I’m Lantz Howard. Disciple of Jesus, husband to Jessica, father of four amazing girls. I’ve been blessed in life with an amazing family and a career that I love, helping men like myself do the hard work and pursue personal wellness. As an executive coach, I can only be effective to the extent that I start with myself. I’ve been on a journey to maximize my own physical, emotional, and spiritual health since long before midlife. I remember moments driving my minivan with my beautiful wife sitting next to me and four little girls under the age of 6 in the back. Life was good, but also felt very full. I loved being in ministry, but I struggled with taking on too much and allowing the perspectives of others to cloud my inner compass. My body started sending me subtle signals that it wasn’t dealing well with the stress: high blood pressure, heartburn, and a severe bout of shingles. I wasn’t burning with purpose: I was burning out. “How the hell am I going to handle all this responsibility?” I wondered. Ironically, I was the one leading groups of men with the same struggles, and they were depending on me to help them find the answers. By leaning into the hard times and choosing to lead with courage, I was able to overcome Impostor Syndrome and craft the life I wanted: a strong body, a passionate marriage, a connected family, and a meaningful career path. Once I stopped letting stress, anxiety, and fear be my main motivators, I was able to experience a lifestyle fueled by joy, peace, and purpose. The best part of my job is that I get to connect with men like me, tenaciously searching for meaning in midlife. They watch those around them spend midlife coasting, relying on previous momentum, or making bad decisions because they sense a problem but don’t know exactly what it is. My clients are unwilling to settle for anything less than functioning fully alive. They pursue physical health as a way to add vibrant decades t

(1:20) What is the key trait to winning at work and at home? (2:50) Why was John’s way not working anymore? (6:55) How did John do strategic planning differently after being committed to God? (19:40) John’s Bio: With nearly 40 years of experience in specialty finance, CRE, private equity, strategic leadership, and consulting, John has a proven track record of private business investing, and in leading such businesses to success and growth in value. Most recently, he was CEO of Commonwealth Ventures, where he led the successful and over-subscribed $29M growth capital seed round for CRDV, the national development arm of COhatch. Prior to Commonwealth, John was the Chairman and CEO of The Garage Group, a boutique innovation consultancy to the F500 in the CPG, Food & Beverage and Financial Services industries, which was sold in a successful management buyout in June 2021. His PE experience came as co-lead on a $40M raise of Fund II for Brixey & Meyer Capital, where he also served as Operating Partner for both Funds I and II, including leading the establishment of governance and strategic planning, and serving as Chairman on many of the boards. He was also an Operating Partner for a family office based in Cincinnati, as they started to build their specialty finance portfolio. John won EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 1999 during his time as Founder, President, and CEO of The Vaughn Group, Inc., a Cincinnati-based commercial equipment finance company for which he raised multiple rounds of private and institutional capital and that he successfully exited to a public bank in 2003. For over 20 years, John has and continues to serve on many for-profit and faith-based nonprofit governing and advisory boards. What's Next? Are you struggling to win at both home and work?

Pay attention to promptings to help you live into your God given power with Stu Grazier and David Gutierrez, founders of Kinetic Men
Are you just as intentional at home, as you are at work? Today I sat down with David and Stu. We touched on intentionality, humility, and trust. Trusting in the process. Trusting in the promptings we receive. Trusting in God. Today’s encouragement is to take time to think about the effects of the hard work you put out, that you don’t see. You control the input, God controls the impact. In this episode, you’ll discover… What is the key trait to winning at work and at home? (1:31) You never know the ripple effect. (7:13) Staying vulnerable, and open to change. (13:36) Which promptings do we follow? (28:05) Stu and David’s Bio: When we (Stuart and David) decided to start a business, our early conversations were not about goals for self-employment, profits, or wealth. The initial conversations were about how to create a faith-based business focused on giving back to the Church and community that would enable financial freedom for its customers and team members. Being active-duty military members at the time of The Kinetic Man Mastermind’s inception, we wanted to focus on serving those who serve this country, hoping to provide a path to financial independence that would give military members options to continue serving or transition from their respective service, a choice based on desire rather than need. We have a passion for serving, giving, real estate investing, and enjoy the benefits of owning income-producing real estate. On the foundation of our faith and passions, we knew we could provide a superior experience by simply ALWAYS being honest with our clients and our team. The Kinetic Man Mastermind is the result.

What's important to you? with Nick Dadas, owner and co-founder of numerous businesses - University Tees, SISU, and others
When was the last time you asked your parents for advice? Today’s guest Nick Dadas brought up the fact that despite him being a father himself, he still wants to ask his dad on his thoughts when he is about to make a big decision. His reason? Because he knows that his dad has been through life, and has made a lot of the decisions that he is debating on making. If your parents are still around, consider asking for their opinion.

We wondered if a traditional school would continue to nurture their passion, curiosity, and love of learning. Will it help them become confident, independent, gritty, and self-aware? Will school prepare them for a fulfilled, successful life in the 21st century? When we learned about Acton Academy, we thought ‘if that existed in Cleveland, we would definitely send our children there!’ We were intrigued by the idea of the Hero’s Journey, of learners with freedom to own their own experience, and of a tight-knit community of learners holding each other accountable. The standards of excellence are high, and success is not about completing worksheets or memorizing facts for a test. The goal is bold yet simple: every child will find their God-given calling to change the world. After over a year of prayer and discussion, we decided to use our entrepreneurial, business background to follow a calling to bring the Acton model to Cleveland. We wanted this for our children and for other families that desire a new, innovative approach to education! Please contact us at hello@actonlakeside.com if you want to learn more about starting your own Hero’s Journey with Acton Academy Lakeside. What's Next?

(34:29) Kevin’s Bio: At the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 I was woken up in the middle of the night and heard the Lord tell me, "I'm going to show up big this year." I journaled this but really didn't press into it. At this time, I started keeping a list of things I needed to teach my boys and mentioned once that this could become a family book. December came and I decided to really press into God's promise of "showing up big this year," so I fasted for 10 days to clear my mind and fully seek the Lord. Nothing immediately happened but I didn't lose hope. On December 21, Keeli and I attended a wedding. We sat down at our table with only one other couple. Every other table was packed, but ours. The couple sat on the opposite end of the table as they were very cautious about being in public due to the pandemic. We did connect and started to talk about our families during dinner. Towards the end of dinner, the wife looked at Keeli and said that she felt that one-day Keeli would write a children's book. From there I told her about my vision from earlier in the year that God was going to show up big. She stopped and said, "That's it! You are going to write a book about raising boys and it is going to influence the Kingdom." She said that this was from the Lord and that it would be done. We were overwhelmed with so much excitement knowing that this was a divine appointment. I dabbled with my writing and journaling here and there through 2021 but really wasn't obedient to the calling. In January 2022, I connected with old family friends Bob and Susan and they each gave me advice that stuck. Bob said, "Create a plan and a roadmap and send it back to me." Susan was to the point and said, "Just write the book!" As

What brings you joy and how to live into it with Ann Thompson, writer and podcast host of 'Faith Driven Leader'
When was the last time you were really intentional? Life has a way of being very seasonal, and pushing us to move in directions we aren't expecting. Ann Thompson has had a very successful career. However, she wasn't very happy when she felt God pushing her to move on from a position she really enjoyed. Today, we dive into how she listened to that inner voice, started new in her career, and reflect on just how important intentionality is. Ann is the Host of the Faith-driven Leader Podcast, married with 5 kids, and is intentional at winning at work and at home. Enjoy today's episode. In this episode, you’ll discover… What is the key trait to winning at work and at home? (1:37) Active listening, vs. intentional listening. (5:58) Faith Driven Leader Podcast. (10:52) Intentionally making decisions (24:27) Taking a two-year sabbatical. (36:18) God has the night shift. (45:09) Traci’s Bio: It was during my 12 years at P&G that I learned about understanding consumer beliefs and behavior, marketing, product development, and innovation. I learned how to manage up and down and across massive, complex corporate hierarchies. I touched nearly every business unit and region as I moved up and across the organization, from Fabric & Home Care, to Hair Care, Corporate Design, and Global Volume Forecasting and Market Mix Modeling - a discipline we re-named as “Integrated Business Optimization” during my tenure. But, more important than any product or team I worked on while at P&G, I learned how to lead with my faith; I fell in love with Jesus and His steady, constant presence, even in the details of my work; and I learned that, driven by my faith, I’m a risk taker and an entrepreneur. Then, in 2007, I heard the Lord was calling me to step off the ladder and into something new. I joined a small, but quickly growing, forward-thinking company providing market research and innovation services to companies like Procter. I learned how to create and sell meaningful projects that would enable clients to learn and grow their businesses. I learned how to develop and nurture relationships with clients who had roles like the one I’d held at P&G. I learned the ins and outs of running a small business. And then I got fired. Financial strain, and a mismatch between me and the future direction of the business fast-tracked my move to the next adventure. A blessing in disguise. Energized rather than discouraged, I seized the opportunity of a small severance package that bought me just enough time to try something new. Along with a business partner, I co-founded The Garag

What if there is more to our vocational journey than just a pursuit of success? Traci took a risk and walked away from the comfort of corporate life to embark on a soul-searching journey – one that would answer her questions, validate her instincts, and change her life forever.

After 4 years at the company, Brad was Chief Operating Officer (COO) and transitioning to CEO and knew he needed help. Which is how we reunite!

He was quick to shine in each of his roles, spearheading the expansion into full plumbing and electrical services, solar, Barron Technician School, and more. Now as Chief Executive Officer, Brad lives by a servant leadership philosophy—and always with a joke to share. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from the University of Washington (go Dawgs!), he spent a number of years as a Professional Engineer before bringing his experience to the Barron Team.

From private jets to prison to a life of purpose with Mark Whitacre, Executive Director of t-Factor
Happy New Year! Since it is the beginning of a new year, we are all being bombarded with emails about New Year's resolutions, coming up with our One Word, creating 'I will' statements, and the list goes on. I believe in those practices, however, today I want to provide a different perspective. A bigger perspective. This week's podcast will help you 'zoom out' to remind us of why we even make resolutions, to begin with. This week's podcast episode is unbelievable! Mark Whitacre had it all. At 32 years old, he had an 8-car garage, 13,000 square foot house, and his own jet! However, he started to form his identity around this success! As it so often does, placing our identity to temporary things, leads to poor decisions and erosion of character. With the level of power at Mark's fingertips, his poor decisions led him to being involved in an enormous international price fixing scheme! At the demand of his wife, Mark turned himself into the FBI, making him the highest ranked corporate whistle blower ever! However, his greed and desire for more success, didn't stop. Mark ended up making poor decisions while wearing a FBI wire, causing him to spend 8 years in prison! However, this is an amazing story of redemption and restoration. Mark became a Christian while in prison, helped prisoners get their GED, spent daily time in the Bible, and so much more. In prison, he found his purpose. Now he is an Executive Director with t-Factor, a division of Coca-Cola Consolidated (a $6 BILLION dollar public company), that helps companies incorporate faith into their work. This is podcast is a great reminder of what is important in life, coming from a guy who had it all! What is the key trait to winning at home and at work? (1:12) The slippery slope of tying your identity to your work. (6:30) We can change for the worst 1 degree at a time. (11:20) How do you make sure you dont fall into the same trap again? (13:58) How do you control your ambition? (25:17) Marks Bio: Mark Whitacre is an Ivy League Ph.D. and the highest-ranked executive of any Fortune 500 company to become a whistleblower in US history, and is responsible for uncovering the ADM price-fixing scandal in the early 1990's.

In November 2019, I started exploring what it would look like for the church to have its own marketplace. What if a pastor couldn't (or didn't want to) bring on an employee, but needed to get things done? Where could ministries go to find highly skilled and highly creative talent? The graphic designers. The video editors. The social media managers. The people who are necessary to help keep ministries moving forward in the 21st century. We launched in March 2020. That's right.

Here is some hard truth... The company will be fine without you. The nonprofit you volunteer for will be fine without you. Your family WILL NOT be fine without you. Yes, we need to work hard.

Sacrifice, time management, and launching a VR company with Renji Bijoy, founder and CEO of Immersed
I met Renji Bijoy about 6 years ago when he was a participant in the Ocean accelerator and I had the opportunity to speak a few times to the cohort. I immediately hit it off with Renji. First of all, he is a very personable individual, however, there are two things that stood out to me. First is how radical his business idea was (and still is too many of us). The second is how strong his faith was (and still is)! Both of those ideas caused me and will cause you to think and dream bigger. As for his business, he founded a company, Immersed , that creates VR workspaces. This means, you and your coworkers can be across the country, yet all 'work in the same meeting room virtually!' I know it sounds crazy, but 300,000 people have downloaded their program and Facebook has invested in them! The second item of his that impressed me was how strong his faith was. He is consistently giving God credit, spending time in the word, and prayer. He has hit Forbes 30 under 30, a growing company, yet he spends 2 hours a day in quiet time! There is so much to learn on this podcast! Renji will challenge your thinking and habits....in a very good way! In this episode, you’ll discover… Key trait to win at both work and home (2:34) How do you serve at home after working such long and hard days (6:35) How do you maintain your relationship with God (19:21) How do you stay grateful for the lot you’ve been given and how much you’ve accomplished thus far (26:38)

Being intentional in all areas of your life with Peter Durand, CEO of Cruxible Partners
As humans, we tend to take the path of least resistance. Now, since this email is sent to business leaders, then let's set the record straight. We are all pro-active, 'go get 'em', type leaders - so l know we don't usually take the path of least resistance on purpose! Instead, it an unintended consequence for our hard work in another area and we just need to catch our breath! What I see in my own life, is if I am working hard on a work project, then I may take my foot off the gas in investing in my family. Or I may have spent the weekend investing in family and fun, so when I get to work I coast by just cleaning out my email inbox and aimlessly scrolling social media. In this week's podcast conversation with Pete Durand, CEO of Cruxible Partners, we have a great conversation about how to avoid this pendulum swing! For example, in our marriage, we need both scheduled and spontaneous dates, so we don't drift in our marriage. Dates are great guardrails for our marriages! At work, we need set time blocks for deep work so we are focused. As well as giving ourselves permission to cut out of work early for an afternoon run, if we are just wasting time in the office. Today's episode is full of nuggets as Pete has been successful in the large corporate world, as well as launching his own company!

How to create psychological safety, yet push others for more. | Podcast Interview with Steve Montgomery, founder of Legion Insurance Group
Did you have a bad week? Or maybe a few bad weeks? I know for me, there have been some bad weeks at various times these last two years. However, this week's podcast guest, Steve Montgomery, gave me a new perspective on what a bad week is. In 2009, Steve had 3 awful events take place in a matter of 10 days! First, his wife calls him informing him that she just had just miscarried their first baby. The very next day, Steve was a part of a mass layoff at work. So unemployed and grieving the loss of their first child, Steve then receives more heartbreaking news. His dad died! A miscarriage, a job loss, and a father's death is a pretty week! I don't know how I would have responded if I was in his shoes. Maybe depression, drunkenness, or just slothfulness. However, my hope is by listening to today's podcast, we all respond the way Steve did. He responded as a victor and not a victim. A favorite verse of mine lately is Romans 8:28, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good" Steve put his faith in that verse back then. Forwarding now to 2022, he can say how God used all those stories for good. Such a great podcast! In this episode, you’ll discover… The key trait to win at work and win at home (1:56) The #1 thing a team desires (7:05) You don’t have to be a risk-taker to be successful (10:17) How God intervened in Steve’s life (18:15) How to remain hopeful and faithful in the face of adversity (22:40) Steve’s Bio: Mr. Montgomery is the Founder and CEO of Legion Insurance Group. An important personal experience was the catalyst for his entrepreneurial endeavor. His real-world success and insight-led Mr. Montgomery to leverage his desire to protect people from harm’s way to bring honor and hope to families all over the world. Before becoming an entrepreneur, Mr. Montgomery honed his ability to get to any table in his commitment to being a person of value and enjoyed a stellar career in the financial services industry with both Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and Merrill Lynch.

Surviving cancer, empathy for others, and releasing control | Podcast Interview with Bill Baker, Principal/Owner MSA Design
It is great to be announcing another podcast episode! I made a LinkedIn post ( check it out here ) last week about why I needed to take a break from my podcast for a few weeks. Throughout the year, I review all of my efforts to see what I should do ‘more of’ as well as ‘less of’. Well, the podcast was one that got the ‘less of’ vote. I hit pause on it for 6 weeks as it was affecting my mind – when I got great feedback, it went to my ego; or I felt defeated if my downloads decreased from the previous week. Not healthy! 👉I encourage you to review all of your actions to see what is adding value, or needs to be tweaked in frequency, method, etc., or is affecting your mind more than it should! Well, I am back with this week’s podcast, and what a great way to return!! Bill Baker is a Principal and Owner of MSA Design and is a humble and vulnerable leader. He shares lots of wisdom, but the story he shares about when a pastor looked him in the eye and said, “We are all going to die” gave me chills! Yes, the phrase may sound depressing, yet it is a reality. We will all die, so we need to live our life with a sense of urgency. More time loving family and friends, instead of scrolling our phones. More time praying and thinking, instead of cleaning out our inbox. More time doing great work, instead of meaningless tasks. More time taking risks, instead of playing it safe. As Jesus reinforces in the ‘Parable of Talents’, it is about ROI for our life. In this episode you’ll discover: How to be patient with people’s actions ( [8:30] ) Why you should be transparent with your kids ( [12:50] ) How a cancer diagnosis helped Bill “let go” ( [16:10] ) Open dialog with your family is key to communication ( [22:10] ) What do bowling and parenting have in common? ( [31:30] ) Bill Baker’s Bio: Bill Baker, AIA serves as Principal and one of three Owners of MSA Design, a national Architecture+Interior Design+Graphics practice headquartered in Cincinnati with offices in Columbus and Florida. In addition to his firm-wide role in leadership and business development, Bill’s project focus is as Principal-In-Charge on key projects for MSA Sport, the athletic design practice of the firm and a “Top Twenty” Sports Architecture firm in the United States.
