Entelechy Leadership Stories

Our guest, Joni Kindwall-Moore, is founder and CEO of Snacktivist Foods.

Joni shares her journey to change the food system by embracing regenerative agriculture -- and taking on well-established processes, supply channels, and multinational corporations.

Plus, she tells Kirstin and Mark how she recharges her energy to stay on purpose.

Snacktivist Foods is a women-owned food revolution based in Northern Idaho. Its passion is to drive a new grain economy through the development of leading-edge baking mixes and a finished product line of 'better-for-you" baked goods.

Their products are vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO and wholegrain. Their mantra is that "it is what we put in our products that is exceptional, not what we leave out".

As we are advancing in our own entelechy and full potential, what are tools, exercises, and practices we can apply in everyday life?

Enjoy this highlights episode with 4 of our guests: Dr. Marissa Pei, Marie & Joe Wallace, Ashutosh Tripathi, and Liz Lewinson.

Kirstin and Mark ask each one how they take action on their own purpose -- and how they fit their practices into their busy lives. (Specifically, listen for what many think are “soft skills.")

We'd love to hear about your own personal experiences.

BE Alink is the inventor of the Alinker, vehicle for social change and manifestation of a “Reverse-Design” way of approaching the world.

On this episode, you hear why BE is a paradigm-shifter and edge-walker.

BE has gained appreciation of the power of community as a result of work in Afghanistan, Kenya, the Sudan, Ethiopia, Kosovo, and Indonesia. The common theme behind BE's work is connecting people with each other by creating meaningful social contexts through which people can actively engage based on who we are as humans. Based on who we chose to be.

Community is built into every customer experience with The Alinker Ltd., a certified BCorp that lives and breathes the values of equality and inclusion which are converted into a revolutionary business proposition.

BE also founded the Alinker Family Farm, which promotes a healthy life by building community for people who are isolated and dismissed because of disability, making activity possible with Alinkers and engaging in conversations about the food we eat, growing the food we eat, building a community by us, for us.

In this interview with Kirstin and Mark, Dev Patnaik shares his business approach to listening -- plus his own very personal philosophies of compassion.

We were moved to action and you will be, too.

Dev is the CEO of Jump, a strategy and innovation firm he co-founded in 1998. He is a trusted advisor on strategy and innovation to leaders at many of the world’s most admired companies. Dev is a frequent keynote speaker at major forums, and his writing has appeared in BusinessWeek, Forbes, Fast Company, and many others. He is the author of the book Wired to Care, named one of the best books of the year by both Fast Company and Business Week. Malcolm Gladwell called Wired to Care “just what we need for the lean years ahead.” His forthcoming book, Unleash, is a playbook for leaders trying to grow their businesses in times of extreme change.

When not at Jump, Dev is an adjunct professor at Stanford University, where he teaches a course called Needfinding. In the class, students draw upon methods from anthropology, design, and business strategy to discover insights about people and create new products and services.

When we asked our guests how they measure becoming a better leader, they have offered some great KPIs ("because this is not just a feel-good exercise!").

Enjoy this highlights episode with 5 of our first guests: Melissa Walsh, Jazmia Moore, Claudia Hernandez, Richard Maloney, and Dr. James Doty.

We'd love to hear about your own personal experiences.
