This episode is the second compilation of answers given by previous guests to the question "What is success?" This first compilation can be found on Episode 18.

It's also a great way to be introduced to the voices from past episodes that you may want to go back and listen to. Also please chime in with your own answer to this question at workethicpodcast.com

This episode is a compilation of the answers given by the shows first 9 guests.

This week's episode is a recording of a talk that I gave at the Underground Network's Catalyst gathering last weekend. We dig into the mythology and stories that lie at the root of Babylon and wrestle with the ways we still embody it's ethos today. This story of men standing in defiance to the ways of Babylon, even under the threat of violence challenges us to reflect on the Heroes of the faith throughout history that have sacrificed their very lives in a similar defiance. We reflect on Martin Luther King Jr, Socrates, the Christian Martyrs in Rome, as well as on our own lives and behavior to discern what such a defiance might look like today.

Kaitlin is an old friend that I recently had the privilege of using as my realtor for my first home purchase. After watching her walk through that process I couldn't wait to sit down and ask her about this role that inserts her into major life decisions, often with couples or families, that involve money, and all the potential emotions of the house hunting experience itself. Please enjoy this episode with Kaitlin or Living Loving Tampa.

Jordan is the best selling author of Called to Create, Executive Chairman at Threshold 360, host of a new podcast, The Call to Mastery, and something of a productivity ninja. This episode was exciting for me as Jordan is similarly fascinated with the role of work in life and has given himself to exploring a Christian theology of work. This episode also serves as something of a sneak peek at his newest book Master of One which will be available soon. Enjoy.

Vinny Tafuro is the founder of the Institute for Economic Evolution, the President of Conscious Capitalism Florida, and the author of Corporate Empathy and Unlocking the Labor Cage. Vinny is pushing the boundaries of our imagination around economics and working hard to help develop language for a future that is still only seen through a mirror dimly. I really enjoyed our conversation and am sure that you will too.
