Good Guys Getting Better

This pod, I'm joined by Chris Littlefield of  @beyondthankyou  to talk about mental health awareness, how to recover after burnout, how to prevent burnout, and how we can show up the way we *want* to show up in our business and in our personal relationships!

Chris is an incredible international public speaker who regularly talks about employee appreciation, workplace culture, employee retention, and so much more.

He's both an incredibly kind and giving person and someone who truly wants to see individuals and organizations do better.

This is one you don't want to miss!

This episode, regulars John Borden and Aleem Boatright join the pod to discuss the horrific terrorist attacks by Hamas, Donald Trump's disgusting and baseless comments disparaging Israel while praising Hezbollah, as well as the culture of cruelty in which we're now living, from America post-Trump, to Putin's brazen war of conquest in Ukraine, to the slaughter of civilians in Israel and Gaza.

We do our best to share a laugh or two in there, but some of this still if serious, so buckle up. We’ll get through this.

Part 2 is here!

The conversation turns to the home front as Terrain shares with us his journey as a husband, father, and successful serial entrepreneur. From the first business he started as a kid growing up in poverty in Indiana to being an accomplished lawyer and the owner of several businesses in the Washington, D.C. area, Terrain reveals the resources he's learned from, the balancing acts he performs as a businessman and dedicated husband and father, as well as some of his own techniques.

He also takes time to impart a few secrets he's mastered along the way to achieve his professional goals and the goals he shares with his wife without causing burnout for her or himself. Just as important, he explains his approach to taking on new ventures and achieving successes with his significant other in a way that brings them closer together rather than driving a wedge between them.

It's an amazing conversation that I've replayed several times since recording it, and as always, my good friend Terrain has left me with amazing insights on how to make money, handle stress, set and accomplish goals, take care of yourself and your family -- and do it all without destroying your mental or physical health. This one is definitely worth a listen. Check it out!

Terrain Davis and returning champion Aleem Boatright join the pod for a lively discussion on the would-be government shutdown than sunk a House speaker, the utter lack of civic education in modern America (even among Members of Congress) the fundamental difference between federal government spending and all other forms of spending, investing in American communities versus government sanctioning of job outsourcing, the need for a thriving manufacturing sector in the United States, public investment in science and education, the inherent limits of capitalism and the adorable naivete of libertarians, the consequences of the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), as well as the return of late night with the end of the WGA writers’ strike, parenting in the age of streaming, and so much more.

This is the first ever two-part episode of Good Guys Getting Better, so be sure to listen and check out the next installment October 11!

Our own Aleem Boatright was inspired to convene this special recording of Good Guys Getting better to discuss Deion Sanders' coaching of the University of Colorado football team, his unique style, brashness, and ‘audacious Blackness’, as well as respectability politics and professional sports as a mirror for American society. You're gonna wanna check this one out! #colorado #universityofcolorado #deionsanders #espn #football #racism #raceinam
