The Full Monty leadership show... with Dõv Baron

Have you been catching the Accidental Guru Radio Show lately? Wow what great shows, (even if I say so myself) fascinating subjects and fantastic guests. Here’s another outstanding one with Ralph Benko. Ralph and I will be speaking about what President Nixon did to screw up todays economy!

Ralph Benko has been at the roots of Washington since the Regan presidency. He was a member of the original Supply Side team that brought the top tax rate down from 70% to 28% and put in the policies that took the Dow up from 1,000 (no typo) to 12,000. He also was a junior official in the Reagan White House in non-economic policy areas.

Question: When it comes to Leadership; is the best man for the job…a woman?

Men have been ruling the world and making the rules for millennia, but you don’t have to be a genius to work out that the old boys club of power is quickly losing its juice.

Women are stepping up and taking the reins and many men are just left wondering what their role is.

In this show we will examine the men’s movement, where it sprang from, what it became and where it is now.

In this episode of The Full Monty Leadership Show we will look at how the internet has brought women together, while men have used it to isolate themselves from their families, other men and ultimately themselves.

As an example did you know: In just about every country around the world, men commit suicide more frequently than women… So the question becomes where do men turn in crisis? To their emotional disabled friends? To the men’s movement of the 1990′s that became either deeply religious, or misogynistic in nature?

There has to be a healthy alternative!

My guest on this episode is the founder of The Remarkable Man Project and author of the upcoming book by the same name.

Dwayne Klassen is committed to empowering 1,000,000 men around the world in the next 5 years becoming Remarkable Men who are Champions to Women, Heroes to Children, and Brothers to Each Other!

Tune in as Dwayne and I dig into the modern man’s psyche and discover where men lost the plot and what men can do to get back on track.

We will ask men to take a real deep and inner look at what it takes to stop waiting from someone else and become a Remarkable Man

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

Question: Must the USA turn a blind eye on China’s Human Rights Violations in order to economically survive?

“America the greatest country on Earth, we’re #1″. Urh…Reality Check: That chant is at least a decade out dated. In actuality, Canada is #1 in the G7 for fastest economic growth.

The US is not the wealthiest either, in fact we’re in seventh position.

The American empire is in serious decline…There is a new empire rising it is the massive economic force known as The People’s Republic of China.

In this show my guest Professor Michael Justin Lee and I will look at China and our dependence upon it. We will examine its incredible rise to become an economic mammoth and how we can learn from the wealth and prosperity mentality of the Chinese culture.

I will also slip on one of my favorite hats that of “Investigative Broadcast Journalist” and I will ask my guest to speak about China’s appalling human rights record, the massive internal growth and the movement away from farm life into sprawling cities where people often live in make shift cardboard homes.

We’ll speak about the rising population of Christians in a country that once killed its own religious leaders. And the shocking amount of public protests going on EVERY DAY in China.

In this interview Professor Michael Justin Lee, who is the author of a brand new book called: “The Chinese Way to Wealth and prosperity. 8 Timeless Strategies for achieving financial success”, will share with us that the Chinese way to wealth and prosperity is in fact based on the very same things that the United States of America was founded on, and we have just forgotten.

This is a very fast passed interview where I present some very hard edged political questions…(some of which my guest may not want to answer). Make sure you tune in!

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

Question: Do you even have a clue what Authentic Leadership is?

Due to the instability in the European economy, the political unrest in many places around the world and the struggling leadership at home, it could be argued, Leadership development is one of the most needed focuses of our time.

Wherever we look, leadership seems to be struggling. There are so many factors to consider; struggling economy at home and overseas with our trading partners, the cost of living and a low value dollar, jobs going to other nations with arguably better education and certainly lowers labor costs. On top of all that, leaders in corporations and organizations have their boards breathe down their neck screaming “cut back, cut back we have to show profit”

Decision making skills of the Authentic Leader...

As a result, clean clear decision making, which can be challenging even in good times, becomes even more essential. All of us who are in business or who have even been in business know that a business can often fly or crumble on the sharp edge of a decision.

In this episode of our leadership show; Dõv Baron will examine the five questions needed for making powerful, profit generating decision making. In this show Dõv will share some of the key elements needed in corporate and organizational leadership in today’s economy.

Dõv will also share the key ingredients for building Authentic Leadership in your business and the #1 reason many companies go from astronomical growth to stagnation.

Dõv Baron is the host and executive producer of the Accidental Guru Show. He is the leading authority on Authentic Leadership and the world’s only Corporate Cultural Momentum Strategist. He also mentors personal, business and creative leaders through his Personal Excellence Architecture mentoring program. http://DovBaron.com

As a leader let me ask you a question: Who do you think should be denied the right to lead?… Women? People of colour? I’m sure your answer is; of course not!

It’s pretty clear that as leaders in our family’s, our communities, and our businesses we cannot in all good conscience discriminate against anyone…

Just stop for a moment and consider: Have you ever gone through an experience where you were ridiculed in some way or denied the rights that were readily available to others, purely because you didn’t fit the image of what they said you were supposed to be?…

In schools we call it bullying, and in truth that’s what it is in adult life, even if we give it other names.

The challenge is that we judge based on our own “normal”, but here’s the news…

Normal and health can be two very different things!

The reason I bring this up is because among other things, we set our laws based on what we call normal.

So my questions to you are, as a leader do you believe it is “normal” for a “same sex” (gay) couple to have a legally binding marriage? And if you don’t believe it is… then my question to you is; then is it or would it be healthy?

Think about it; we know from the research that couples who marry; live longer, are healthier, contribute more to their communities and society at large.

My guest today is Dr John Corvino a man who has spent the last 20 years examining both sides of this argument and as a result he has spoken at over 200 campuses on issues of sexuality, gender, and ethics…

He earned his PhD in philosophy from University of Texas at Austin in 1998…and he has gone on to Chair of the Philosophy Department at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.

He is also a contributing journalist for The LA Times, The Advocate, the Independent Gay Forum, The Huffington Post, The New Republic online and The New York Times online.

I came across John Corvino when someone posted a short video by John that had gone viral called: Is Homosexuality unnatural? To date that video has had over 120,000 hits. (Here’s the video: John Corvino: Is Homosexuality unnatural?

He is also the co-author (with Maggie Gallagher) of Debating Same-Sex Marriage (June 2012)

He is also the author of the forthcoming book (January 2013), What’s Wrong with Homosexuality?

In this Hot Topic Show we will take a look at:

Why gay couples want the right to marry when straight couples are abandoning the institution of marriage in record numbers.

Why John wrote the book: “Debating Same Sex Marriage” with a co-author who is openly fighting against equal rights marriages.

We will look at the biblical argument that says; to lie with another man as you would with a woman is an abomination, (Not a word for word quote)

We’ll even take a look further at that oh so quoted piece from Leviticus and see if it suggest that “god” might be gay

Can a gay person, “pray away the gay”?

The changing face of politics and the fight for same sex marriage as reflected in the last election

“Free at last, Free at last…” dear God almighty, it’s the 21st Century and millions of people are living as slaves!

No this is NOT a metaphor of lowered wages and economic recession. This is an undeniable modern day FACT!

This is the First official episode of “The Full Monty Leadership Show” and in all honesty for me it is the most important show I have ever done.

I know the idea of there being slaves in our modern world seems outrageous…you may even argue that there are no slave ships in any harbour of the world.

Although that is fairly true, what you may not know is; there are an estimated 27, 000,000 (twenty seven million) people enslaved in our “modern day world” right now! (don’t believe me investigate… CNN is just one resource) here’s a link: http://thecnnfreedomproject.blogs.cnn.com/category/the-facts/the-number/

Even though when President Abraham Lincoln permanently abolished slavery throughout the entire United States in 1865, it has Not gone away.

The difference is that slaves are now brought in and work in every corner of the world. They are used as commercial sex slaves, adult and child pornography, torture, and slave labor. Worst of all, It Is Happening Right Under Your Nose!

My guest on this episode of The Full Monty leadership Show is one the most important people in the US today when it comes to the subject of Human Trafficking and modern slavery…

Dottie Laster is a nationally recognized expert in the field of human trafficking. Trained by the Department of Justice, she educates law enforcement, businesses and organizations, on human trafficking. She has been the architect, and leader of the human trafficking task forces in many cities.

She was appointed as a part of this task force to train over 5,000 police officers and worked directly with adult and child victims.

Whether you are a “radical environmentalist” who believes we have got to shut down all emissions based production, or a “radical skeptic” who can drum up a truck load of evidence that global warming has more to do with Cattle flatulence and decomposing trees… Or if you are just someone who likes living on planet Earth, You Have To Tune Into This Episode of “Full Monty Leadership Radio”!

On October 27th, 2012 the debate about climate change and rising sea levels became a rather moot point for anyone living on the eastern seaboard of the United States.

Hurricane Sandy with her 100+ mile an hour winds demolished and devastated 8 of the United States with the death toll reaching more 100 people and leaving more than 4.6 million homes and businesses without power.

Whatever side of the isle you stand on, (“radical environmentalist” or “radical skeptic”) there needs to come a point where people’s lives become more important than who’s right about climate change, or how we got here… The fact is we are here.

We are losing 150-200 species that are part of our very fragile ecosystem every 24 hours!

Let me hammer that one home; that’s nearly 1,000 times what is considered to be the “natural” rate. Many biologists say, this is greater than anything the world has experienced since the vanishing of the din

"High Tide on Main Street" by Oceanographer John Englander

osaurs nearly 65m years ago.

Listen folks, the mentality of; if I’m not directly experiencing it, then it’s not real, certainly got a slap upside the head from our pissed off aunty (Hurricane) Sandy, and it’s time we woke up.

My Guest on this show is John Englander, he is a pre-eminent leader in his depth of knowledge, understanding, and ability to make the subject of changing weather patterns and the impact it’s having on

the oceans simple enough for someone with no such background to understand and take positive action.

He is an Oceanographer extraordinaire… He has been the CEO of the International Sea Keepers Society. However, if you really want to understand how respected this guy is in his field, in 1997 the most respected oceanographer of our time… Mr Jacques Cousteau asked John to take over the leadership of The Cousteau Society.

John Englander is also a Special Adviser on Climate, to Friends of the United Nations

Over the last 3 years John has been writing his book: High Tide on Main Street, to bring awareness of rising ocean levels. It’s a book in which he clearly predicted the super storm of

Hurricane Sandy and the impact it would have on Manhattan.

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

Millennial Save The Planet?

There’s little doubt that the world is changing… it could be argued that it’s the speed at which those changes are taking place, that’s impacting our planet and creating the challenge.

There was a time when the 80 million Baby Boomers had peaceful sit ins, singing: “All we are saying, is give peace a chance“, while the 46 million Generation X’ers, brought us MTV and the internet. Both these generations have been extraordinarily hard on the planet.

Now with our planets resources stretched to the max, there comes the 78 million millennial’s… (those individuals born between 1977 and 1998)… a generation also known as “the entitled generation”.

Sadly, the millennial’s have inherited a big mess from the generations that came before them.

Just for the record it should be noted that generally speaking; those born into “Gen-X” and the “Boomer” generations doubt the work ethic, the motivation and the innovation of the milennial’s, a generation brought up on-line.

But there is an irony in all of this; what if the greatest minds we have ever know are in fact the millennials?

My guest on this show is one such individual… As this show goes out for the first time; Ben Gulak is presently just 23 years old. He’s a businessman and inventor of The Uno, an eco-friendly electric powered vehicle that looks like a motor cycle doing a wheelie on its front tire. The vehicle got international attention, and eventually landing him on the cover of Popular Science magazine.

And by the way, Ben had already developed two highly acclaimed prototypes before he was 21.

In the midst of a media frenzy, Ben ended up on “The Dragon’s Den” (Canadian version of “The Shark Tank”) and all 5 Dragon’s, who usually torture the entrepreneurs who show up on the show, all wanted in!

Ben shares with us his story of going from aspiring artist to inventor, from science fare winner to being invited to the world economic forum in Europe. He will tell us how his latest invention The DTV Shredder could save the lives of those in military combat.

And why your ideas may not be as crazy as you think…(wait till you find out what the Google Boys and James Cameron are up to).

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

One of the big issues in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election was that of immigration and with it the desire to blame those coming from the south for our problems…

But consider this: In America today Immigrants start a disproportionately high number of new U.S. firms. Meaning they are what Mitt Romney calls the “Job Creators”

Here’s what you’ll also find fascinating: An immigrant is 4 times more likely to become a millionaire than a natal born American.

My guest on this episode came to America as an immigrant from Cuba as a small child of an extremely poor immigrant family. She has gone on to become one of the most powerful and influential Latina women in America today.

Nely Galán became a self-made media mogul, and was the first Latina president of a U.S. television network.

She is an Emmy Award-winning producer of over 600 episodes of television in Spanish and English, including the hit reality series “The Swan” and is the first Latina to appear on “Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump”.

She has gone on to found and spearhead: ”The Adelante Movement” a grassroots movement uniting and empowering Latinas socially, economically and politically in the U.S. She is touring the US encouraging Latinas to play a leading role in American society, economics and politics and become an integral part of the national conversation.

In this episode Nely Galan will share her powerful story and why, when she could have just sat back and took it easy, she’s out on tour across the US speaking to women on the importance of embracing and dealing with the very things we often shun, namely; our failures and our pain.

Nely shares that the time of Latin women has come and that we must all become people who are living a life that is mission driven.

This is an exciting show with a powerful woman, sharing with other women that their strength, their power and their influence awaits.

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

Entrepreneurship and Loss

Leadership is always about serving.

However, I think you’d agree, that life doesn’t always go as planned, sometime you are going in one direction and suddenly you are thrown into another, and that direction may inadvertently turn you into the reluctant leader.

Leadership in many ways is about adaptability, meaning you get up when you’ve been knocked down, even turning that knock down into something positive, something that might even become your life’s path.

We all know change is inevitable, yet we resist it whenever we can… Then again there are things that happen where avoiding change is just NOT an option.

Loss, is something more people are dealing with right now in than likely at any point in modern history. We are a country at war, people are being laid off from forty year careers.

Business’s are closing their doors and houses are still being foreclosed at an alarmingly high rate.

It this episode we are going to be joined by a guest who has experience just that.

At the young age of 40, Carole Brody Fleet had a thriving career in the cosmetics industry. She had known Mike the man she married for fifteen years. They had built a new house and looked like they would be living the happily ever after story until they were an old couple.

But all that came to a crushing end when her husband died after a two year battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease. A young widow with a then, 11 year old daughter had to deal with the devastation of becoming a young widow.

This lady not only came through this devastation, along the way she discovered that there were many other women and men, who where exactly where she had been.

And she realized that she was, ready or not, required to step up and be a leaders and serve these people.

According to the American Association of Retired Persons 2001says; there are more than 13.7 million widowed persons in the United States, over 11 million of these being women. But those numbers are grossly understated due to the fact that they do NOT include those who lost their partners but were never legally married, and of course it does not include LGBT community.

My guest on this episode of the show is Carole Brody Fleet she is the award-winning author of the new book, “Happily EVEN After…” and the critically acclaimed national bestseller, “Widows Wear Stilettos….

She is also the Founder and CEO of Widows Wear Stilettos, Inc.

This is a woman who has built a road map through uncharted territory for the previously ignored young windowed.

A woman who stands proudly in her stilettos in the face of death, and has now become the GPS for those who are young and have been widowed and disenfranchised.

In this show Carole will also share with us how she was able to take an idea, (Widow’s wear stiletto’s from a book idea to a bestseller.) Take an accidental business and turn it into and international phenomena.
