The Work Ethic

In this episode Will and I talk about how we're adapting our organizations and businesses during these strange times, how it's affecting us personally, and we dig in to the true meaning of the word apocalypse. Enjoy.

This episode is a recorded phone call with Emma Warren who is writing a story on the radical place of bikes in history. She interviewed me to talk about the work of well well bikes right in the middle of all of the chaos created by Covid 19. She was kind enough to share the audio with me and so I wanted to share it with you here. Enjoy

This is a talk/reflection on having enough, being enough, and what there is not enough of. I gave this talk at Waters Avenue Church on March 8th as a part of their Lenten reflection and I think it is a timely reflection for the season we are in globally as we face the Covid-19 virus.

Johnny is the Founder and CEO of Cope Notes, a platform for mental health support. This conversation is a great intro to him, his work, and the platform itself. Johnny is a joy to talk to and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to sit down with him. -Enjoy

After hearing Ethan call in on the #AskGaryVee show Episode 331, I started following @Ethanfromthirst on Instagram and quickly knew I needed to connect with and interview this 22yr old entrepreneur who is the owner of Thirst Drinks, a drinks and treats spot in Utah with 4 locations. His story is incredible, his hustle undeniable, his positivity infectious, I'm so happy to have made this connection and excited to share it with you here. Enjoy!

Brittany Young is the Founder and CEO of B-360, a community partnership dedicated to changing the perception of engineers and dirt bike riders to create and avenue for students to learn about STEAM using dirt bikes, create a platform for social change, and to unite the community in safe and fun ways. Brittany and Jon originally connected through their involvement as Social Entrepreneur Fellows with Red Bull Amaphiko. Enjoy this conversation with Brittany Young.

John is a new friend and I was really excited to be able to capture what was really our second time together as an episode. John has an MBA that focused on social enterprise and sustainable business development. He helped found and build Clean Footprint, a solar company and is now the Chief Development Officer for Sea Oak Capital. I love this conversation and know that you will also. Hope you find it valuable. -Enjoy

Brian Sanders is the Founder and Executive Director of the UNDERGROUND Network. He also leads Brave Future, a change management consultancy for churches and organizations interested in renewal and mission. Brian currently lives and works in Dublin, Ireland. I was excited to get the opportunity to sit down with this old friend while he was in Tampa for the UNDERGROUND Open Conference. Brian is such a smart and fascinating dude and I am excited to share this conversation with all of you here on The Work Ethic.

Finally had the chance to sit down with Taylor from Common Thread and Seeds Coffee. His work in Birmingham has served as a huge inspiration for the Well and WellBuilt Bikes and I am so excited to share this Episode of The Work Ethic with you. We discuss his community, his vision for the city, his ideas about faith and how they play out in the marketplace, his ideas about stewardship, and creating spaces where work, worship, and all of life might converge in community.

Since this episode was recorded over the web, there is a video version at https://youtu.be/1FUTGpLqOCw

Wanted to share this talk from 8 years ago as it lends some insight into the work that would lead to the Well and WellBuilt Bikes. It's good to loom back and reflect on what's remained consistent and what has changed. Hope you enjoy this throwback talk
