Igniting the Spark

Do you feel like you have an ignited leader inside of you? Or are you already a leader in a group, corporation, or in your community? This week my guest, leadership consultant and TEDex speaking coach and speaker Joe Reichert comes to light the sparks for us and teach us what the secret is to being the best leader through understanding Leader Relativity. 

Joe is a TEDx speaker, TEDx speaking coach, corporate leadership consultant and program manager at a Fortune 100 company, and a designer and creator of multiple corporate leadership development programs. He is a former college football national champion and semi-professional US Rugby League Coach and the upcoming author of "Leader Relativity: Finally a starting place for new leaders"

His whole goal is to demystify leadership and prove that anyone - regardless of their job title, years of experience, or the amount of power they may have - can become a leader once they know what it means to truly follow someone else.

Are you ready for an amazing conversation that will open up your eyes and heart to new ways of thinking? Then join me for a profound and provocative interview with a truly phenomenal human being, Rabbi Rami Shapiro. 

RABBI RAMI SHAPIRO, Ph.D., has a reputation for being perhaps the most unorthodox rabbi you've ever met! Growing up, his mother thought he might be the Messiah, while his father was convinced he was a luftmensch (air head). Air head, indeed! He earned rabbinical ordination from Hebrew Union College in order to preach his ideas in synagogues, and a PhD in contemporary Judaism from Union Graduate School in order to teach his ideas in universities. Along the way, he’s taken Bodhisattva vows in Zen Buddhism, become a 32° Mason in the Scottish Rite, been initiated into the Ramakrishna Order of Vedanta Hinduism, joined the Theosophical Society, published three dozen books, has had his poems included in prayer books and hymnals around the English speaking world, and has walked the 12 Steps of Overeaters Anonymous more times than he can count.

His award-winning bestselling books fall into three categories: Biblical translations that make the Bible say what he wishes it would say; spiritual explorations that make spirituality all about practice rather than feelings; and recovery that reveals the central addiction of all humans—playing God— and the way to free oneself from it: realize God is playing you. Well known for his quality scholarship and sacred spirit,he served for 20 years as the founder of Miami’s Temple Beth Or, where he experimented with new forms of Jewish liturgy and practice, combining his experiences with Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism. Rabbi Rami currently co-directs the One River Foundation and is a contributing editor at Spirituality & Health magazine, where he writes the “Roadside Musings” column and hosts the magazine’s “Spirituality & Health” podcasts.
