043: “Investing in Your Community” (J.R. Buckner, CEO First Federal Bank)

"As we invest in organizations like Thelma's Kitchen, that's paying a dividend back to our shareholders – the community we serve,” shares J.R. Buckner, President & CEO of First Federal Bank of Kansas City. “That's building up the community so that everyone can thrive, not just a handful of people." J.R. and his team at First Federal were the lead sponsor in Thelma’s Kitchen’s recent birthday giving challenge, which ultimately netted over $44,000 for KC’s first donate-what-you-can cafe and more than 1,400 pay it forward tokens for those experiencing poverty and food insecurity. J.R. joins Fr. Justin Mathews on The Social Leader podcast today to discuss values-based leadership and organizational culture, stewarding your blessings, being an inclusive and faith-inspired leader, hiring “we” and not “I” people, and much more.

"It's a new day in terms of leadership." That's Megan Hyatt Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer at Michael Hyatt & Company and the co-host of the popular business podcast, Lead to Win. During the pandemic, Megan led Michael Hyatt & Company, a leadership development firm, to exceed revenue expectations by 50% while placing an increased emphasis on her employees' mental health. At the same time, the company set a goal to increase the diversity of their staff to 30% people of color throughout the organization in 3 years, and 50% people of color in 5 years. Why did she decide to incorporate her social priorities so deeply into her organization? (You may be surprised to learn that there's a business case for it.) And how did she do it, all while finding greater satisfaction as a wife and mother of five kids? Listen to today's episode to find out. Megan is also the co-author of "Win at Work & Succeed at Life: 5 Principles to Free Yourself from the Cult of Overwork," a must-read as you figure out your own work/life balance.

038: Job Creation is Holy Work (Brian D. McLaren)

“When you study poverty, you realize unemployment is the root of all evil.” That’s Brian D. McLaren: author, speaker, activist, theologian, and guest on today’s Social Leader podcast. He reflects on how his eyes were opened while getting a tour through the slums of El Salvador. “Wherever you have high unemployment you have domestic violence, you have drug abuse... petty crimes, organized crime, gangs… To be able to provide people with good jobs is holy work, it’s great work, it’s important work.” In this far-ranging and story-rich conversation, Brian D. McLaren and Fr. Justin Mathews uncover several ways that business owners can enrich their work life with purpose and can become more just, joyful, generous, and regenerative as leaders. Brian is the author of more than a dozen books, the most recent entitled “Faith After Doubt: Why your beliefs stopped working and what to do about it.” He has appeared on All Things Considered, Larry King Live, and the On Being podcast, and is a faculty member at the Center for Action and Contemplation. In his new podcast, “Learning How to See,” Brian unpacks thirteen types of bias that limit our ability to comprehend reality fully with public theologians Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis Ph.D. and Richard Rohr. Learn more and keep up with Brian at his website: BrianMcLaren.net.
