On episode 259 I am joined by Brent Pohlman.

 

Brent is the owner and CEO of Midwest Laboratories. He strives to bring his A-game to work daily. At 15, Brent landed his first job at Midwest Laboratories, the company his father founded in 1975. He became CEO in 2016 and
is passionate about teaching others to lead effectively.



As a person of faith, he coaches people up, leads from the heart, and has achieved success by focusing on people, processes, and technology—in that order.

 

Grateful to build on his father’s legacy, Brent aspired to be a leader and owner of a great company. His transformation has convinced him that leaders must look deeper within themselves to find their true identities.

Working out and reading are among Brent’s hobbies. He also enjoys attending Kansas City Chiefs games and live concerts by artists from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s.

On episode 258 I am joined by Ann Swanson.

Ann teaches meditation to busy people with busy minds.

She is the author of the bestselling book SCIENCE OF YOGA, which has been translated into over 15 languages.


Her new book, Meditation for the Real World, illuminates the fascinating science behind meditation with step-by-step practices to help you find peace in everyday life.


However, Ann wasn’t a naturally “chill person,” and meditation didn’t come easy to her. Overcoming chronic pain and anxiety led her to India to study yoga, to China to explore tai chi, into the cadaver lab to teach anatomy, to night school to become a licensed massage therapist, and, ultimately, to earn a Master of Science in Yoga Therapy.

Ann blends cutting-edge research with ancient wisdom, resulting in realistic techniques you won’t just learn – you’ll love to live by!

 

In this episode you will hear:

00:00:00 Intro

00:05:01 Ann’s journey into meditation

00:08:00 Meditation myth busting

00:09:30 Meditation for the Real World – finding peace in everyday life

00:13:17 the more I meditate the more time I have

00:32:01 Samadhi – being liberated from our suffering

00:37:19 Meditation for little ones

00:40:59 Meditation looks different for all of us

00:55:55 Ann’s Heartprint

 

Those with ears, let them hear.

Always love

Ryan

On episode 257 I am joined by Yosi Amram PhD.

 

Dr. Amram is the author of Spiritually Intelligent Leadership: How to Inspire by Being Inspired, which offers a compelling roadmap that equips leaders with the means to connect with the true source of their authentic power and presence deep within themselves.

 

Prior to psychology and executive coaching, during a 13-year period, Dr. Amram founded and served as the CEO for Individual Inc. and Valicert, two highly successful tech companies that he led through successful IPOs.

 

Previously, right after high school, Dr. Amram was drafted and served in the Israeli Air Force for three years, quickly moving up the ranks and holding the fastest promotion record in the history of his regiment. However, his experience in the military sparked his desire for a more compassionate and human approach to leadership, marking the beginning of his interest in this area.



In this conversation you will hear:


00:00:00 Intro

00:06:50 - Spiritual Intelligence and Leadership

00:12:30 - Military Experience and Leadership Style

On episode 256 I am joined by Patrick Lencioni.



For twenty-five years, Patrick Lencioni has been working with teams to help them become more cohesive, effective and successful. In 1997, he founded the Table Group, a firm dedicated to making organizations healthier and work more dignifying.

 

Pat has written 13 best-selling business books on the topics of teamwork, leadership and culture (including The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, The Advantage, and The Ideal Team Player) which have sold over 8 million copies and been translated into more than 30 languages.

 

In 2020, Pat began to question why he occasionally felt drained and frustrated in his own job and, in the process of figuring out why, Working Genius was born.


Since that time, Working Genius has helped hundreds of thousands of individuals and teams discover their gifts and transform their work.

 

The 6 types of Working Genius is a new model that helps people discover their natural gifts and thrive in their work and life.

 

Working Genius identifies the six fundamental activities that are required for any type of work and provides a simple framework for how work gets done.

 

Working Genius is changing the way people are thinking about their work and teams, and is leading to more dignified, fulfilled and successful work.
