Man Up, Already!

Adversity. Tragedy. Pain. Loss.

Each of us is going to pass away at some point. Death is certain. And though that can be a morbid subject, it can also be very empowering.

It's made very clear in the Bible (Ezekiel 22:30), that God seeks out those that will "stand in the gap on behalf of the land"

What does that mean? Who is He looking for? And more importantly, what are the qualities He looks for?

Join me in a very frank discussion of what I think that looks like and how we can live our lives worthy of being found by God!

When you hear the word "sales" what comes to mind?

Are your images negative or positive?

For most people, they don't fully realize that true sales is all about relationships, and if relationship skills are life skills, then sales skills are life skills!

In this episode, John is joined by Fred Majors.

Fred has built his career in sales. From learning his skills at Jared & Joseph A. Bank, to learning how to build a sales organization, Fred has accumulated a well-spring of knowledge on what it takes to have skill with people.

In this podcast, you'll learn:

• Why sales skills are important

• What "skill with people" really looks like

• How to hold an engaging conversation with someone you just met

• How to build trust and credibility

• The difference between selling and serving.

In this episode, John is joined by Retired US Army Lt. Colonel Oakland "Oak" McCulloch, for an engaging conversation on leadership.

In this episode, we discuss:
-the main difference between having empathy for someone's situation or circumstance vs taking personal responsibility for it.
-how empathy can show up in many different way, without us feeling like we have to take personal responsibility for the event or circumstance.
-how having empathy can lead to a major growth moment for the person in crisis. They key is not to rob them of that moment by trying to fix the challenge for them.
