"We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest."

-- Orison Swett Marden

We should always be thinking of giving as part of our lives and there is no better time to give than in this season of Thanks and Holidays. We are grateful for those in our community that help match people who need with the people who can give. Eric Litwiller shares just how the Mental Health Association leads in needs giving.

I am so grateful for people with the intelligence, empathy, vulnerability and strength to study the really difficult issues then share them with the world. Dr. Patrick Garrett is living this great experiment of seeking the best life you can and he is helping so many of us because he is intentional and caring with the results. Not being tied to a position allows Dr. G to embrace the nuances of humanity and seek positive outcomes. Enjoy this conversation— he is a treasure.

Ron grew up with love— his Mother instilling love with the daily reminder that "God gives us all talents and we must use them or they can be taken away" and his Father showing love through his daily actions in work ethic and integrity. So he took those incredible inheritances and put the assets to work. The results are an Abundant life. High performers that live intentional lives of Abundance create much more than success for themselves— they create Freedom and Opportunity for everyone they encounter. And I thank God for him every day.

Michael is pragmatic and thoughtful— that is what I love to see in a leader-- he is also an economist. Seeing the world through that lens creates opportunities for analytical perspectives leading to principled explanations for hard-to-solve problems. Economists blend facts with human behaviors and that helps us understand where we have been and what we need to do to improve, moving forward. Michael has wonderful, practical perspective and that makes him a dynamic leader. Grateful to share his leadership intellect on the ictpodcast.

Sam Foreman is a leader. He leads with his actions. And he is one of the most thoughtful and intelligent people I know. Make it a point in your life to find people you respect and engage in a conversation. Listen empathically and the results are reciprocal advancement. We are grateful for this enlightened and nourishing conversation with Mr. Sam Foreman.

My father always tells me to enjoy the victories, no matter how small, and I know he is right. Robert Feeney the Co-Founder of Ringorang by Knowledge as a Service (KaaS) comes back on the podcast because I love talking to him (and his Co-Founder BW Barkley— BW we will catch you on another convo) and Ringorang is celebrating some Milestones! The work we do can be a grind and it is the grind that provides opportunities like this conversation.

Dr. Galichia, a lifelong Kansan, is internationally recognized for the advancements and contributions he has made in the field of interventional cardiology. Heart Disease is still the #1 killer in the United States and Dr. Galichia has made it his life's work to give people the opportunity to live full lives by treating cardiac and vascular diseases. His work included the mentoring of hundreds of Doctors around the world so that these life saving techniques could be taught and shared across the globe. We are great full for his time to share his story on the ictpodcast.

Golf is a great game for life; teaching character, focus, communication, glory, defeat and individual responsibility. With all of those tremendous lessons to learn it makes sense to introduce kids to golf as early as possible. And that is what the First Tee does— creates the opportunity for kids to participate. When we participate we are better equipped to win in life. Corey Novascone is leading the charge and proactively getting kids to win by getting them to the First Tee. We thank Corey for his work and for this conversation

This is just the most fun episode… talking with great friends about the movies we love. Remember that life needs to be fun and inspiring. Movies bring us so much laughter and perspective. Enjoy.
