Episode transcript: The Bountiful King.

Lisa tells a fascinating tale from Nigeria of a time when the sky generously provided for all human needs—until greed disrupted the harmony. From this fable, Lisa offers thoughts on work, wants versus needs, and the environmental crises we face.

Lisa tells the story of the parts of the body debating which of them is most important. At once silly and profound, it speaks volumes about how businesses operate and how they will find success, once they get to the heart of what matters.

Lisa tells the story “Strawberries” about a couple who fall into a rift of anger. It’s ripe for interpretation about many emotional aspects of business, including the challenge of differences, reconnecting with passion, and the possibility of hope.

Host Lisa Bloom introduces Neuroscience of Coaching, a new show on the Mirasee FM podcast network, hosted by Dr. Irena O’Brien. In this bonus episode, Melinda Cohan and Dr. O’Brien dive head first into the surprising hidden science behind motivation.
