The Uncensored Truth… How I can say goodbye when there is so much to do.

A word of caution: This is the sign off show of live episodes of Dõv Baron’s Full Monty leadership Show…As announced earlier this year, I am taking an indefinite hiatus.

As you probably know the Full Monty Leadership Show started out as The Accidental Guru Show back in April 2010, since then we have had some phenomenal guests discussed a plethora of important subjects and had almost 1,000,000 (one million) downloads. And we’ve spoken about a vast array of subjects that I feel leaders need to know about.

On this final episode I will do a review of some of the most important shows and I will also speak about the vitally important shows we never got to do.

Question: What are you waiting for when it comes to developing yourself, your business or even your leadership skills?

And: What if, whatever it is never arrives?

At this point in time, I think we can all agree; the world seems to have gone a little nuts.

The banks that took us into a massive recession are making record profits. Meanwhile the number of homeless is growing every day. We are pouring billions of dollars into the Military Industrial Complex… to be involved in wars that rather than creating peace, generate hate against countries like the US and her allies.

So many of us are so busy pointing the finger at the problems with the other political party, that other religion, (Muslim’s or some other kind of Christian’s, the Jews…anyone will do).

And then of course there is the Millennial generation who so often want to blame both the Baby Boomers and the Gen-X’er for the mess they are inheriting, (which is true). Meanwhile, the Boomers and Gen-X’ers are blaming the Millennial’s for their crappy entitlement attitude…(which the boomer and X’ers gave them).

Like I said we are so busy looking out there… we forget to look inward both as a nation and as individuals. It seems to me that we need to stop waiting for someone to “fix it”

Therefore, to me it seems as personal, business, and community leaders we are missing the point!

On this episode of Dõv Baron’s Full Monty leadership Show we’ll look at why we need to, and how we can come back to the basics. Basics that will ground us in moving forward with certainty, grace, respect and honour.

My guest on this episode: Jim Bouchard… And he’s all about bringing us back to the basics… He is a speaker and the author of the Amazon bestseller ”Think Like a Black Belt.” And as Jim says: It’s time to STOP WAITING!

According to Jim, to get to where you want to go we will have to come back to the basics… and for Jim Bouchard those basics are: Discipline, Respect and Personal Responsibility!

Jim’s resume is a colorful one. As a former television writer and producer, Jim has done everything from fitting pipes on submarines, mopping floors, pumping gas and selling hot dogs, to producing television commercials, fighting fires, boxing, playing drums in major concerts, hosting radio shows, and kicking for semi-pro football teams.

In this show we will examine what the Black Belt Mindset is and why we need it more than ever right now!

We will look at how kids in Martial Arts training can define leadership better than almost any corporate leader.

Why so much of the personal and professional development out there just sucks!

What Martial Arts teaches us about leadership.

And we’ll discuss The Power of Vulnerable Leadership and how it is indeed a clear path to becoming a master of Leadership.

I promise you this is a going to be a fascinating very down to the nuts and bolts show, and of course this is just a small sampling of where this great interview goes.

Make sure you share this with your friends and tune in on Thursday August 1st, 2013 @10:AM (Pac) 1:PM (EST)

Why? Because you are a leader!

Question: How would your business change if you were able to predict the future?

We are entering into a new cycle of business and society where knowing how to predict where we are going could be the difference between going under or flourishing.

On this episode of Dõv Baron’s Full Monty leadership Show we will look at how the face of business and for that matter society are at the beginning of a great shift.

It’s the shift that guaranteed that Mitt Romney would Not get elected in the last presidential election and that Obama would be re-elected.

My guest on this episode is Mr. Michael Drew. He is the author of the ground-breaking business book: Pendulum; How Past Generations Shape Our Present and Predict Our Future.

Michael says that: Politics, manners, humor, sexuality, wealth, even our definitions of success are periodically renegotiated based on the new values society chooses to use as a lens to judge what is acceptable. And he asks us to look at whether these new values are randomly chosen or is there a pattern?

Michael Drew’s reputation precedes him in that he is a maverick who gets results… He has been marketing books for his entire career, and he’s become the world’s most successful book promoter, having launched over 75 consecutive books onto best-seller lists, many of them number-one titles, on lists like the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

In this show we will examine the two major 40 cycles known as the “Me” cycle and the “We” cycle. We will look at where we presently are and the impact this will have on where we are going and what we are doing.

We will also look at why the Occupy Movement became so big so fast. Why we are in a time of fierce absolutes (absolute right, absolute wrong). We will even take a look at why China has become the economic mammoth that it has and why it seems to be in a very different cycle than the west.

We’ll will take a look at what all this means to leadership both in companies and in government and discuss the common determining downfall of both.

This is a going to be a fascinating must listen show, and just a small sampling of where this great interview goes.

Question: In big, (I mean really big) business; is there any room for mindfulness, compassion and vulnerability and big profits?

On this episode of Dõv Baron’s Full Monty leadership Show we’ll take a look at why big business is going spiritual… Yes, you did hear that correctly. However, we are not talking about religion or some new age Woo-Woo. In fact we are talking about doing the kind of things that results in shifts that are proving to be Ka-ching!

As you know my subject is Full Monty Leadership… This is NOT about getting naked! Full Monty Leadership is about being completely open, revealing, Authentic and deeply connected to one’s self and your team… we do this through vision, mission, story, empathy and compassion and that is done through unparalleled levels of emotional intelligence….

What does that have to do with this episode? Look, whether you want to face it or not, the world of business is changing, and according to my guest; “This change is more than a trend or even a movement… it is becoming a revolution in business”

A revolution that is already being fully embraced by some of the big boys, companies like: Google, Face Book, Twitter, LinkedIn have all taken this revolution on. What’s surprising to most though, is it has gone even further, in that many of the old boys are coming out of the woodwork to say… This is the way of future business.

People like Bill Ford of the Ford Motor company and now even Intel, Target and Wal-Mart are shifting gears.

So what is this revolution?

It’s all the things I just described about becoming a Full Monty Leader, it’s the connection between wisdom-leadership and conscious capitalism.

And the latest research is showing that it is the path to massive success and profits!

My guest on this episode is Paul Zelizer, he is the founder of Success for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, a global consultancy that supports wisdom based coaches and consultants in taking their businesses to the next level.

He’s also the Director of Social Media for Wisdom 2.0, a one-of-kind event that brings together business and technology leaders, Zen teachers, neuroscientists, and academics to explore how we can live with deeper meaning in our technology-rich age, and the co-developer of The Wisdom 2.0 event

This is a must listen show for any of us who want wisdom in our business’ as well as profits.

This is just a small sampling of where this great interview goes.

Question: Is the US Government indirectly (or directly) financing a Jihad mentality in the Middle East?

In many ways it seems that peace in the middle east is further away than it has ever been. So many of us celebrated the Arab spring of 2012 as Arab countries dethroned several dictatorships. As a result, we may have told ourselves that US style democracy was just around the corner for these countries.

Only now are we beginning to see that in most cases (where CIA installed dictatorships tumble) they are replaced with radicals like the Muslim Brotherhood. (Something very similar happened in Iran when the CIA installed Shah of Iran was exiled in 1979 and this resulted in a power vacuum that brought the extremely radical Ayatollah Khomeini to power.)

To this day the people of the United States are sending their tax dollars to support groups who are often repressing their own people and, or breeding a hostile mentality towards not only the US but also the west in general.

For most people, when they think of the United Nations they think of this extremely benevolent international body who are working on keeping world peace and taking care of those who are suffering.

However, you should know the UN is made up of many agencies charged with many different objectives. One of those agencies is UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) and according to my guest: Creating peace is far from high on their agenda. To such a degree that they (UNRWA ) have been investigated and challenged for among other things, promoting a Jihad mentality in the Palestinian region.

Why should you care?

The US government, using tax payers dollars, gives approximately $250,000,000 a year to UNRWA!

In this show I get to wear one of my favorite hats…that of investigative journalist and dig in to a very hot subject with my guest Dr. Asaf Romirowsky a Middle East analyst and an adjunct scholar at the Foundation for Defense for Democracies, and the Middle East Forum.

Dr. Asaf Romirowsky is a former Israel Defense Forces International Relations liaison officer in the West Bank and to the Kingdom of Jordan.

He holds several degrees including a doctorate from Kings College London.

Dr. Asaf Romirowsky publishes widely in the national press as well as in scholarly journals and makes frequent appearances in the media.

In addition, he lectures and teaches a wide range of audiences and programs around the world.

Born in the US he has traveled widely in Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Tunisia, Israel, and the Palestinian Territories.

He has become one of the pre-eminent experts when it comes to discussing Israel, Palestine and our financial aid to both.

In this Part 1 of a 2 part show we will discuss UNRWA, who they are, ,what they are doing and why You should care!

We will begin our discussion of the Palestinian “Right to Return” to their homeland. The possibility of a “two state solution” And ask: Do The Israelis want it? Do The Palestinians want it?

We will look at a subject most people are very unclear on: Why Palestinians and Palestine are two different things.

This is just a small sampling of where this great interview goes.

Question: Have You Ever Considered Why You Set Goals, that in all likelihood you never really meet?

Some of the most respected motivational speakers in the world people like Brian Tracy have laid out how important it is for us to set goals. But what if they are completely wrong?

How come so few people ever meet those goals? And worse still when you set a goal and Don’t hit it…do you tell yourself that you’re a failure or a loser?

Maybe the whole goal setting thing just doesn’t work, and we’ve all been going along hoping it would?

Just stop for a moment and think about the levels of joy and success in your life: Are they directly related to the achievement of your goals?

If they are, and you are NOT meeting the goals you set then logically wouldn’t that suggest that that your level of misery is related to your lack of achievement of those goals.

Derek Mills spent the first 18 years of his working life setting goals and failing miserably! He like most people had read the books, taken the courses and still woke up every morning feeling like if he could just hit “that” goal then he could be happy.

Then one night at around 10 PM, after working a grueling 14 hour day, someone asked him a simple question, a question that might have gone over any ones heads as “no biggie”, that was the moment he stopped for 10 seconds and developed a philosophy to live by.

Derek Mills is our guest the week on Dõv Baron’s Full Monty Leadership Show. Derek is the author of the brand new Hay House book “The 10 second Philosophy”… A practice Guide to Releasing Your Inner Genius”

From That point on Derek Changed his life and his finances around and within three years created his first million and the following year a million in one year.

Since 2010 he has catapulted into the high stratosphere of success appearing in newspapers and magazines across the UK and the US and was recently featured in the movie The Keeper of The Keys.

In this show Derek Mills with share with us why even though only 20% of the population bother to set goals, 70% of them fail to meet them.

Derek Says: Goals are a waste of time what you need are standards!

According to Derek, the respect you get in your world is equal to the standards you set.

He says to be a leader you must have crystal clear standard by which to live and do business.

Why? Because you are a leader!

Question: Is it possible to become successful beyond your wildest dreams by becoming focused on giving?

You know as well as I do; to become the leader that you have become, you have had to be a Go-Getter… Someone who gets things done…

In fact, I’m guessing that if you have achieved any mark of success, not only have people called you a Go-Getter, but you have felt pretty darn good about yourself when they did… Am I right? … Sure why not?

While others have sat around and waited for someone or something else happen… You made things happen!

You’ve been a Go-Getter… because you’ve been committed to fulfilling your dreams.

As you and I know these are times when many people are tightening their belts, and believing that there’s a lot less to go around. This in turn has folks believing they’ve got to be a lot more driven and competitive.

But consider this: What if there’s another way? A way that is actually central to many of the truly top leaders you admire. And what if this way is all about you becoming focused on you being a Go-Giver instead of a Go-Getter?

Maybe you are telling yourself this Go-Giving thing is a very nice “idea”, but nonetheless a rather naïve one in this economic climate…

Well my guest on this Show is Mr. Bob Burg. He is a bestselling author and co-author of his latest book: The Go-Giver, which is a short parable about a powerful business idea that includes The 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success.

This fast passed show will immediately dispel any of that negative nonsense you may have believed about what it takes to reach your dreams or become massively successful.

In this interview Bob Burg will share:

What the 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success are, and how easily you can apply them

Why it’s naïve to think you can beat out the competition

We look at some of the biggest misconceptions about selling

Shifting how you feel about selling to something super positive in a flash

How adopting 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success can powerfully and positively impact your corporate culture

Why being a Go-Giver is NOT about being a martyr or a doormat

And why you need to gossip about the people you admire

This is just a small sampling of where this enlightening interview will go.

Question: In a political hotbed where each side is fighting to prove that the other side is wrong, is there now an even greater need for compassion in today’s business, political and community leadership.

If we are to believe the media, it certainly appears that extremist beliefs, behaviours and groups are on the rise. Extremist ideology is fueled through the belief that one way of thinking/being is right and therefore anything else is wrong.

It seems to me that any kind of leadership based on the need to be Right and therefore make the other side wrong, has become more important that the good of the American economy and the American people at large.

When this is the case we lack compassion.

Compassion: a feeling of distress for the suffering or misfortune of another, and the desire to alleviate it.

When we lose sight of Compassion we may be on a road we do Not want to be on, creating for ourselves and our children a nation we would not want to live in.

My guest today is a man who says he deeply understands this from both sides, in that he spent years being part of a movement that was devoid of compassion and with it came hate and hate crimes.

As a former organizer for the White Aryan Resistance (WAR) at age 15 Tony McAleer became a Skin head, by 19 he was a fully fledged Neo Nazi, by 20 his intelligence and personality had him rise through the ranks to become the voice of leadership for the movement.

However, that was then and this is now… Today he is The Neo Compassionist and Chairman of the Board at “Life After Hate” The mission of Life After Hate is to demonstrate and practice the primal, basic goodness of humanity and to discover common threads that interconnect us all.

He will share with us how he as a middle class white kid ended up making the choices he did to become a violent racist skinhead leader due to the emotional and physical bullying he received in his childhood. Furthermore, when speaking about Bullying he says: Trying to deal with bullying without using compassion is like trying to treat cancer with Band-Aids.

He will share his touching story of what made him change from Neo-Nazi to Neo-Compassionist, and why we as leaders need more compassion in our business’, communities and political parties.

This is just a small sampling of where this enlightening interview will go.

Question: Are American’s being distracted as our empire crumbles around our ears? Are we the newest version of the people of Rome

On this episode of Dõv Baron’s Full Monty leadership Show we are going to venture further into leadership…

Be warned: This is going to be an edgy and opinionated show after which you may never tune in again… or You will immediately tell everyone you know to start listening….

We are going to look at leadership not just on a corporate level but rather looking into how leadership or rather the lack thereof is having such a destructive impact on the world we live in, and the current affairs of the day.

We’ll look at why Michelle Obama’s new hairdo got more attention than the fact that the president used a never before used word in his inaugural speech when he spoke about embracing our Gay brothers and sisters.

We will examine why the people of the US live in a state of perpetual war and the psychological value of making sure we have a common enemy.

We will look at the amount of children abducted every year in the US and the radical solution to that problem that may threaten not only our civil rights, our constitutional rights but also our basic freedoms.

We will talk about the war in Afghanistan and Iraq and the impact on the Afghani and Iraqi people. And how the majority of soldiers feel about the war upon their return. We will question the ethics of drone warfare and it’s effectiveness.

I even tell you why the media are so focused on the fact that President Bill Clinton was checking out Kelly Clarkson’s ass.

This is just a small sampling of where this very edgy and I believe enlightening show will go.

Like I said: Tune in, have your pen and paper handy… hold on to your seat this is going to be a wild and edgy ride.

Question: What War has the US been aggressively involved in for 40+ years?

Don’t know?…I tell you in a moment.

We like to run around the world and shout about how “We are the champions”…but of what? Well among other less than desirable things: The United States of America is #1 Leader in the world for incarcerating its own citizens! In fact, the U.S. houses more inmates than the top 35 European countries combined

Why is that? For a start because we are actively involved in a 40+ year war that we are not only losing but has made the very thing it was supposed to fix much worse…THE WAR ON DRUGS!

The Leadership of Richard Nixon created a war on drugs that has become nothing more than a political, vote feeding, corruption machine that has resulted in the death of thousands of innocent people. It’s made the drug cartel leaders into emperors who pull the strings of their political puppets.

Newark Mayor, Cory Booker pointed out that the war on drugs is destroying African-American communities across the US. The reality of it is: blacks make up just 14% of all drug users, but half of those are in prison for drug offenses.

Now I am not saying you should be in favour of drugs…There’s a very good chance you and I have been brain washed beyond return on that subject. But the bottom line is: Is the war on drugs effective?

Well according to my guest on this episode of Dõv Baron’s Full Monty leadership Show…Retired deputy police chief for the LAPD, the answer is a big fat NO!

Mr Stephen Downing went from a 1960 police rookie all the way through to Deputy Chief in the Bureau of Special Investigations with a major focus of fighting The War on Drugs. He is now a spokesperson for LEAP

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. This is an organization with tens of thousands of Law enforcement members around the world, all of whom want to see the legalization and regulation of drugs. They are all speaking out about the damage the War on Drugs is having on our communities, families, and individuals. The War on Drugs has made the police force and law enforcement agents who were once a welcomed member of the community, now the enemy of the people.

On this show Stephen Downing will address where the War on Drugs is taking us.

This is just a small sampling of where this enlightening interview will go.
