    Ep 259 Interview Sessions with Brent Pohlman | Leaders Look Within

    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.



    He believes the only way to lead is from the heart and is passionate about helping others learn how to lead others effectively.

     

    He is the author of Leaders Look Within – a book that will help you dig into your heart and unleash the true leader spirit inside of you.

     

    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.



    Brent and his family live in Omaha, Nebraska.

    Ep 258 Interview Sessions with Ann Swanson | Meditation for the Real World

    Ep 258 Interview Sessions with Ann Swanson | Meditation for the Real World

    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

    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.

    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

    Ep 256 Interview Sessions with Patrick Lencioni | The Six Types of Working Genius

    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.
