The Work Ethic

Another show I did this year that I wanted to share with ya here. Enjoy

This is an interview I did back in April that I don't believe I ever shared here. So here ya go!

Dr. Kelly Page is a social design ethnographer, social and digital innovator, and learning entrepreneur committed to developing truly social cultures, people, and organizations with emerging and social technology.

Andrea is a Director, Producer, Creative Director, & an activist

She started her career with a degree in psychology and worked as a substance abuse counselor in New York and Chicago in several treatment centers, methadone clinics, and public health departments before heading into advertising and media.

She is now an independent director and producer focused on commercial and branded content with a specialty in documentary-style storytelling for a variety of industries, causes, and brands that she serves through her production company, Heroine Films

With her deep experience in healthcare, education, financial services, behavior-change campaigns, and purpose-driven brands, she really shines when telling stories around courage, compassion, inspiring acts, and people who are generally just badass. In our conversation she makes her commitment to equity in the industry clear and drives it home with this profound observation: Women control 80% of consumer spending, yet don't feel advertisers understand them. Possibly because only 3% of advertising creative directors are women. With that reality in mind Andrea has been on The 3% Movement team as Executive Producer since 2013 and is also is a member of Alliance of Women Directors and Women in Media. 

This was such an enjoyable conversation filled with wisdom and insight. If you like Andrea half as much as I did you will love this episode! -enjoy

Rafael is a husband, father, and visionary. He is the Chief Impact Officer at The Norstar Group and as his daughter as his 3 year old daughter would put it Daddy be's nice for work." Rafael is a kindred spirit that has found himself in an enviable role at the intersection of web3, venture capital, community impact, building a better future for all. This was such an enjoyable conversation and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did! 

Enjoy this conversation with Bryan Cardwell, owner & operator of 2 Paddy Wagon Irish Pub's here in Tampa. 

This is a talk I gave at Waters Avenue Church on August 7, 2022.  

The passages for the day were:

Isaiah 1:1,10-20 

Psalm 33:12-22 

Hebrews 11:1-3,8-16

Greg is the founder and CEO at OneWork, where they are working to connect talent with meaningful careers. Jon was really excited to sit down with Greg after reading the following on their website: 

"We believe work is an unrivaled vehicle for opportunity and fulfillment. Work has the power to touch lives, drive innovation, enable change, and inspire others. But work without purpose, without a mission, is empty. We envision a community capable of facing the most pressing challenges and opportunities of our generation."

Greg and Jon had an awesome conversation as they compared notes on our relationship with work, vocation, purpose, and employment.

This episode stands apart from the other but it is definitely a story of hustle. An old friend has been selling cannabis forever. His tenacity and commitment to build a business regardless of it's legal standing has recently led to he and his partner being highlighted by the New York Times! They have build up a substantial business that has done really well pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the legal grey areas of the emerging cannabis industry. For Tarzan, its an issue of access. He is determined to make quality cannabis accessible in safe and fun settings. His story is insane so buckle up for one of our wildest interviews yet!
