    Miles to Go : Rivers Rutherford

    While we may all like different genres of music, there’s one thing we can agree on: songwriting is an artform. Today, we get to connect with a living legend of songwriting. While you may not immediately recognize his name, if you’ve spent any time around country music, I’m betting you’ll recognize his songs. Rivers Rutherford has written 29 Top-40 country songs for artists like Brooks and Dunn, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton. River’s won so many songwriting awards we could fill the rest of our time together with them—and for his hard work, he was inducted in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2019.

    A Life of Purpose : Ron Beshear

    It’s been said that a great father doesn’t tell his kids how to live—instead, he lives well and lets them watch. I can say that’s been the story for me. And today, you’re going to get your own front row seat as I spend time with one of the most inspiring, motivational, and encouraging men I know. He also just happens to be my father.   Ron Beshear served over five decades at Northwestern Mutual, starting as a financial advisor and eventually becoming a managing partner at the Fortune 500 company. Alongside his wife, and my amazing mom, Mary, he started “Serving Your Purpose” in 1987, helping individuals and organizations clarify their purpose, generate greater personal satisfaction, and reach their highest potential.   With three published books, 10,000+ one-on-one interviews, and 55 years of marriage between them, Ron and Mary are highly sought after speakers, coaches, and experts on living lives of purpose.   I know he’s my father, but it’s not an exaggeration to say Ron has an outsized impact wherever he goes. His mission statement is to “live an outward-focused, others-centered life, serving individuals and institutions both personally and professionally for God’s glory.” As his son, I can say, he’s done exactly that… and more.   After 20 years as a financial services professional and completing thousands of financial plans for clients…Ben shares the secrets to building wealth, but more importantly building a fulfilling life.   Brief legal disclaimer: This podcast is intended for informational purposes only.

    BULLS**T: John W. Wright

    Today, we’re going to be talking a whole lot of....bulls**t. What you might not realize, though, is that BS could be the very thing that leads to your next breakthrough. At least, that’s what my guest, John W. Wright, believes. A high-school All-American in football, John was recruited by over 60 schools before committing to the University of Illinois. By the time John had finished there, he was the schools’ (and the Big 10’s) leading receiver, landing at #5 overall in NCAA history. He spent three years in the NFL before injuries forced him out of the game he loved. He might have taken off the helmet and pads, but he never lost the fire and grit. A keystone of his leadership style? Empowering others. Nowadays, John uses his 80 acre estate, Greyfield, as a training center for leaders. One of his secrets is what he calls “positive bulls**t.” Today, he’s going to unpack that for us, and we’ll get into what it takes to build great teams, the role of mentors, and how to have lasting impact.   Affiliate Links: John's Book: Bulls**t: A Good Word and a Vital Part of Leadership The Alchemist: A Fable about following Your Dream Angela Duckworth: Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance   After 20 years as a financial services professional and completing thousands of financial plans for clients…Ben shares the secrets to building wealth, but more importantly building a fulfilling life.
