On this episode, I speak with Michael McCathren, Sr. Principal, Enterprise Innovation at Chick-fil-A, about his new (and first) book, 6Ps of Essential Innovation. I had an early look at the book as my publishing company, Ripples Media, partnered with Michael to bring it to life. And I have to tell you, it's terrific. We talk about why he decided to write the book, what the process was like, and of course, what it takes to build a company that aspires to be innovative and resilient.

On this episode, I get to talk to a legend in the running world: Barefoot Ted. I first learned about him through the book, Born to Run, by Chris McDougall, which fundamentally changed the way I run and, more importantly, completely removed the persistent knee pain that used to accompany my runs. He’s probably one of the most energetic people I’ve ever had on the podcast and hearing his journey is bound to inspire you.

On this episode, I’m joined by Bonnie Wan, an incredible leader who created a brilliant concept called, The Life Brief, which helps people live with greater clarity, creativity, and courage by teaching them how to write briefs for their lives. We dive deep into how she created The Life Brief and its major components, but we also spend time talking about her life as an Asian immigrant in the United States and my experiences with having adopted two Chinese children. I just loved this conversation with Bonnie and I know you’ll find it inspiring.

On this episode, I talk with entrepreneur, artist, and advocate, Jay Austin. He’s working to interrupt mass incarceration. We talk about what led him to this important work, the current state of mass incarceration, and the nonprofit he started called RLENTLSS, a prison diversion and re-entry program teaching premiere level videography, photography, storytelling, and other below-the-line production skills. His work is so important and I hope you can find ways to support him on this journey.
