In this episode, Heather is joined by University of Houston Professor Craig McAndrews! In addition to teaching at UH's Bauer College of Business and writing his book Soul Purpose Inc., he has been a mentor for our sales team at Highpoint and leader of our summer internship program. Throughout his experience in corporate America to academia, he has remained a firm believer in the power of prayer. Heather and him talk about the transformational change that happens in our careers when we turn off the noise of the world and obey the guidance of God. When we bring love into the workplace, we can impact the community, our coworkers, and everyone's families & friends. By centering our career path on these principles, our faith and desire to help one another becomes stronger. It motivates someone to work every day to make the world a better place. We highly recommend listening to this episode and reading his book for some powerful inspiration.

We're back with a brand new episode featuring our inspiration manager, Jamie Eubanks! In this episode, Coach Jamie and Heather discuss the Wellness Challenge that Jamie organized for our agency. By considering our mental, spiritual, emotional, nutritional, and professional wellbeing, we can see which areas need the most focus to create balance and peace. Running on adrenaline and ignoring our needs leads to burnout and actually depletes our productivity and positive energy. We believe that with small steps of dedication and gratitude, you can create better healthy habits to get out of that negative mindset.
