Plenty For Everyone

Today we dive in with Mike Ziener of the American Cancer Society to discuss the inside-out approach to strategy and why passion is a key lever of growth.

Renowned monk Thich Nhat Hanh has famously written, "No mud, no lotus" – the idea that suffering is inherent in each of our lives, and that we can transform that suffering into something helpful and even hopeful. On today's podcast, we discuss the links between suffering and healing, light and darkness, and love and hate with our dear friend Venu Gupta of Mother Jones. It's one of our deepest conversations yet – an hour that left all of us awakened, energized, and yes, transformed.

Distillation is a process that takes us from complexity to simplicity – discovering the true essence in form. For one of our favorite clients, Beam Suntory, distillation isn't just a metaphor. It's the core of their entire business. 

In business and in life, there is power in slowing down and getting to the essence of our purpose, our strategy, and our goals. When we slow down to reduce the noise and boil down the complexities, we unlock something more concentrated and more focused. Being patient isn't doing nothing. In fact, having patience is an active stage of the distillation process.

Join us as we distill conscious leadership and get to the heart of strategy with Andrew Mondzelewski, North American Marketing Director for House of Suntory.

Join us for this intimate conversation with Ellie Starr, CEO and Founder of Starrs Aligned, on how we can reinvent a vibrant social sector that stewards organizational growth alongside personal wellbeing.

Now more than ever, we need leaders at all levels of society and in every corner of community. We need people who will help us find commonalities, common ground, and consensus. That means allowing ourselves to see the world along multiple dimensions, understanding the power to choose our own viewpoints, and being willing to envision – and work – to manifest something better than what we can see.

Join as we explore what it means to be an active leader in the political process and what we believe is being called forth from each of us this fall.

When you are on a river - you can't control the current. Instead of working against it, you have the ability to follow its flow. Notice the forces in your life - at home, in relationship, or at work - where are you meeting resistance and where can you realign yourself to find ease?

Our society teaches us that you have to push to prove. What if we let go and flow with the current? Although it's contradictory to what we are taught, nature has grand lessons for us if we attune ourselves to them.

Join us for this flowing conversation about how the current is taking us to the places we are meant to go.

Change agent, innovator, and entrepreneur Raquel "Roq' Graham - founder and CEO of Roq Innovation - intimately knows about what it means to navigate times of incredible, unpredictable change. 

Tune in to hear her powerful story of how following her intuition that something was off in her body turned into a life-threatening health crisis. And as a result, how she reached deep within to find her inner rock - the will to live - and the abundance on the other side.

Living can be noisy, especially when we are busy. What if we slowed down enough to see the invitation on offer that lives beyond the noise?

By stepping back and letting go, we can often see we are more than our challenges. In fact, we can often see our true nature of resilience that gives our ability to navigate change. 

Join us as we follow curiosity with coach Scott Kelly on this week's inspiring episode. You might want a pen and journal handy for this one!

We each hold the power to create the parameters of our lives. When life gets busy and crowded, it can often feel impossible to take a break - yet space doesn’t happen until you create it.

 

At Plenty, we create space with a weekly ritual we call Free Friday. We give ourselves and our team time to slow down and practice personal wellbeing with an open afternoon each week.

 

Tune into this conversation as we meander and ramble during our daily Awesome Hour as we explore the gifts of space and what’s become more present for us.

Our minds operate much like the aperture of a camera. When the aperture is open, our focus is broad and wide. When the aperture is small, our focus is fixed and constrained.

Adjusting our own aperture shapes our ability to see more. And when we see more, we become more of who we really are.  

Tune into this powerful, uplifting, and juicy conversation with coach and mentor, Barbara Patterson, as we explore the possibilities that emerge when we choose to open our aperture - to be more open, hopeful, resilient, and awake.
