  • (Recap) Why People, Profit, and Purpose Matters

    We figured a new season and a new book means it's a good time to recap our very first episode where Mike talks through the journey that's brought him to today; focused and intentionally looking for ways to marry profit with purpose, as a way to change lives. 

    This episode will help you get to know Mike a little better, while learning the best way to make a quarter pounder with cheese, with extra ketchup!

  • Smart Leadership | Mark Miller (Chick Fil A)

    Are you tired? 

    Does every day feel like a struggle? 

    You’re not alone. Leaders everywhere are struggling, bogged down by countless meetings, growing complexity and constant distractions. Or perhaps it’s a matter of personal obstacles like success, fear or aimlessness. 

    Whatever it is, Mark calls this toxic mix “Quicksand”, which although inevitable, has a way out. His new book 'Smart Leadership' that comes out THIS WEEK is all about helping leaders rise above the Quicksand to scale their impact. 

    Mark Miller is Vice President of High Performance Leadership at Chick-fil-A, and has spent the last two decades ensuring the growth of Chick-fil-A isn’t hindered by their supply of top talent.

  • What Happens When Purpose Drives You | Bill Wilson (Metro World)

    Abandoned on a street corner by his mother at the age of 12, young Bill sat and waited for her... For 3 days. 

    She never came back. 

    Years later, in 1980 he founded Metro Ministries, to reach kids  in Bushwick, Brooklyn, one of New York’s toughest neighborhoods most commonly known for its gang violence, crime, drugs, and poverty.  Beaten, stabbed and shot, he refused to leave the neighborhood; believing the situation wasn’t hopeless, just that the children and their families didn’t have any hope.  

    Now, over 40 years later, what was then Metro Ministries has grown into a worldwide impact program that touches over one quarter of a million children. Every. Single. Week! 

    Join the conversation today as Mike and Bill talk about Purpose, and what happens when you let it drive everything you do.
