    Mentoring with AYA

    While this may not be the typical episode here is why this matters; first because as a former mentor who’s life was dramatically changed through this experience I can attest to its impact, and second, because as we think about change we need to consider just how uncomfortable we are willing to be for change. Today we are talking with two folks from AYA Youth Collective as they discuss what it means to be a mentor, why it matters, and how you can get involved.

    Control, Conflict, and Change with Jon Huckins

    This month's conversation centers around control, conflict, and how they are catalysts and barriers to change. We shy away from conflict and move towards comfort where we feel in control often robbing us of the opportunity to change. Sometimes the unexpected or even unwanted are the best catalysts for the change we need. Join our conversation with Jon Huckins, author, guide, and founder of Journey Home.

He is the Co-founder of Mader Mill, a sawmill in Indiana, and Chairman of Michigan Capital Network. Carl didn't begin his career wanting to be a businessman, he began by being a professor. Carl shares his story of launching to the exit of a successful company and the important lessons he learned about how important knowing his grounding philosophy was and how staying true to your core can be both a challenge but is also essential for building something successful, that you also actually like.  Resources mentioned in this week's podcast: Atomic Object Mader Mill Michigan Capital Network
