  What One Year of SOUL ON FIRE Has Taught Me (Monday Moment ep. 921)

  Oct 5, 20267 minS17

  Anniversaries give us permission to do something we rarely allow ourselves to do: Stop racing forward, turn around and look back at the road we've traveled. They invite us to remember what once seemed impossible, recognize the people who helped make it happen, count blessings we often hurry past, give thanks for all that has been—and imagine with hope all that might still be. And as the one-year anniversary of the world premiere of Soul On Fire approaches, I want to do exactly that with you. Let me explain.

  Wayne Connell: Seeing Beyond Invisible Disabilities (ep. 920)

  Oct 1, 202645 minS17

  Wayne Connell is the founder of Invisible Disabilities Association, an organization he launched 30 years ago after watching his wife, Sherri, navigate debilitating illnesses others couldn't see or understand. As her husband and caregiver for 32 years, Wayne has turned that deeply personal experience into a lifelong mission to help others living with invisible disabilities to feel seen, believed, and valued. Today, Wayne shares what decades of caregiving have taught him about love, why believing someone can be one of the greatest gifts we offer, and how to better support those carrying struggles we cannot see. We also discuss the difference between fixing and simply being present, the assumptions we make about others, and the power of listening. My friends, if you're carrying an unseen burden or love someone who is, this conversation is for you. You'll be reminded to slow down, listen well and recognize the value in every person you meet.

  The Miracles All Around Us (Monday Moment ep. 919)

  Sep 28, 20267 minS17

  "Do you still believe in miracles?" A smattering of hands went up when I asked that question at a leadership conference last week. Surprised by how few, I tried a different approach. " How many of you saw the sun rise this morning? How many of you stopped to consider how incredibly unlikely it is that you are here at all? That your heart beats without being reminded. That your eyes capture light and turn it into images. That you can laugh, love, work, walk, and dance through your days" More hands went up, but still not all of them! Well, my friends, I am certain miracles still happen. And Brent Oliver's life is proof. Let me explain.

  Ron Johnson: Lessons from Steve Jobs, Apple and Starting Over (ep. 918)

  Sep 24, 202655 minS17

  Ron Johnson helped transform the way the world shops. As the creator of the Apple Store, he worked alongside Steve Jobs to build a welcoming retail experience centered on learning and human connection. Before Apple, he helped make good design accessible at Target, and he later served as CEO of J.C. Penney. In his new book, Shop Different, Ron shares the leadership lessons he gained through extraordinary successes and humbling setbacks. Today, Ron shares how a childhood love of retail shaped his career, why the Apple Store was designed around relationships rather than transactions, and what his difficult experience at J.C. Penney taught him about listening, humility and moving forward. He also explains why kindness belongs in the boardroom and how focusing on the person in front of us can transform the way we lead, work and live. My friends, you'll leave this conversation inspired to pursue what you love, strengthen the relationships that matter and measure success by the lives you enrich along the way. Whether you're leading a team, navigating a setback or searching for greater purpose, Ron's journey is a powerful reminder that success and failure are fleeting, but the way we treat others endures.

  The Wisdom of The Serenity Prayer (Monday Moment ep. 917)

  Sep 21, 20265 minS17

  Reading the headlines, there are plenty of reasons to lose hope for tomorrow and slip into anxiety today. Warring nations. Rising prices. Teetering financial markets. Political upheaval. And then there are the concerns closer to home. Caring for aging parents or grieving their loss. Wrestling with the difficulties of raising kids or the ache of being unable to have them. Enduring yet another flight delay on a work trip (hits home as I write this!) or the far heavier struggle of being unable to find work. We all carry something. So, what are we to do with all this stress, all these conflicts, all these struggles? Let me explain.
