9
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.239
We dive into the real messy work of transforming our lives,

10
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:09.120
leadership and organizations. Bring your hot mess and confusion to

11

12
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:22.239
accelerating the health of ourselves, people, plant and profits. Now

13
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.280
here's your host, Captain Dave, your personal regenerator.

14
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:32.879
All aboard, boy, I'm excited to welcome you to the

15
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:38.079
ninth episode of Regina. Our theme this week is personal

16
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.519
and professional transformation. You know what would it take to

17
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.120
transform yourself, your team, your organization. This is the question

18
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:50.599
that I first started to ask myself almost four years

19
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:54.159
ago to become not just a better person and a

20
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.879
better leader, but to make a positive difference in the world,

21
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.840
to create more joy, professional freedom, and wealth while creating

22
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.480
a better world faster. So this is perhaps my most

23
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:12.400
vulnerable and authentic show to date. I've purposely not invited

24
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.599
a guest to join me today, so this is a

25
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.319
little scary to be out there alone for forty five

26
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.199
or so minutes. But I believe that overcoming.

27
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.360
That fear and uncertainty and doubt is part of the

28
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.719
journey that I'm on. I suspect that, just like with

29
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.199
my guests the last eight episodes, some magic will unfold.

30
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.919
It's not clear yet how that might be. So I'm

31
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:44.159
excited to see how this progresses, and I look forward

32
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.360
to your comments and support if you have a chance

33
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.439
to provide those. I always read and listen to comments.

34
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.120
As you know, if you've been a part of the show,

35
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.599
are promised to use to have some fun today. If

36
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.039
we're laughing, we're learning, and I'll be laughing at myself

37
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.080
more than a few times. I assure you I want

38
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:10.319
to leave you inspired and especially to leave you empowered,

39
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.400
And I just invite you to pick up a pen

40
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:18.080
take some notes, consider applying just one idea or mindset

41
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:22.319
shift that you here today on the Regenerate Show. Because

42
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:29.360
transformations happen here. So what's the moment that first showed

43
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.560
you who you really were? Some people think of this

44
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.000
as the origin story. It's not a bio, it's not

45
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:41.199
a resume, it's not a ce. It's the circumstances in

46
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.840
our lives that shape us, that define us, that help

47
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:49.080
us become who we were meant to be. Often it's

48
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.520
circumstances that are not what we originally asked for, and

49
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.280
some of them were very, very hard. And I think

50
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.039
in the coming minutes, as I share with you my

51
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.599
origin story, you'll get a feel for how these kinds

52
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.919
of opportunities, living our lives the best that we can,

53
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.840
the good, the bad, and the ugly, they forge us

54
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:16.279
the crucible of life. So my origin story begins as

55
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:21.120
a young lad of a British father from Sheffield, England

56
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:27.240
and a Canadian mother Eastern Canada, Toronto, Ontario. And I

57
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.759
was that kid in elementary school waiting at the bus

58
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:37.040
wearing these British goloshes and a ball dark ball bone jacket,

59
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:43.000
sometimes carrying an instrument and kind of talking a little

60
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:50.639
bit differently, using more European and Commonwealth language. So I

61
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:56.120
never quite fit in. I was that outsider, and I

62
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:01.240
was able to navigate across these different groups, the academic group,

63
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:06.920
the jocks, the musicians, but I frankly felt most comfortable

64
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.959
being around adults. I guess I was a bit of

65
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.959
an old soul, but I did have this ability at

66
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:19.920
a young age to bring fun and lead interesting activities,

67
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:24.160
not just during recess but also after school. So everything

68
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:31.000
from arranging kickball and touch football to creating, designing and

69
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:36.000
creating hiderplanes in wood that we would then pull behind

70
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.160
our bikes. I organized carnivals with my sister Pamela, and

71
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.759
we raised money, not very much money, you know, a

72
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.360
few dollars here and there. This was back in the

73
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.959
nineteen sixties for muscular dystrophy, and yet was often feeling

74
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:57.800
alone inside and to belong I tended to try to

75
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:02.480
overachieve my self. Worth was definitely tied to the results

76
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:07.079
that I was creating my life. And my parents were

77
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:12.399
parents in the sixties and seventies where children were more

78
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.519
like a lump of clay to be molded than what

79
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.120
my wife, Margaret, who have been married now for thirty

80
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.759
five years. We took the tact of our children. Ian

81
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.160
and Catherine are really land to grow and evolve, and

82
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:33.319
we're just stewards of the land, stewards of their lives.

83
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.560
I did fall victims sometimes in parenting like my dad,

84
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.639
and I regret that, but those were those that era

85
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:47.920
and how to feel good about oneself when parents were

86
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:55.399
often very critical, especially my dad. Very accomplished engineer, director

87
00:06:55.439 --> 00:07:01.199
of quality Boeing, very smart, very accomplished, terrific public speaker,

88
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.120
a great leader, and I aspired to be like him,

89
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.279
but at the same time it was very intimidating, so

90
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.439
I became very much an approval junkie. I won a

91
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:17.800
lot of different awards and was accomplished musician to play

92
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:23.079
the Greek piano concerto with my high school orchestra, and

93
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.120
was the drum major for two years where we doubled

94
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.759
the size of the band. So there was some really

95
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.040
incredible experiences that I had growing up in school. And

96
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.439
the other one that I wanted to tell briefly was

97
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:40.639
I learned to saal when I was five that'd be

98
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:45.079
an aeronautical engineer, and when we trimmed that sloop little

99
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.959
twelve foot Yachting World Cadet PRAM and that boat accelerated.

100
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.759
Oh my gosh, it was magic, the freakin magic of lyft.

101
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.839
How could we my mom and dad, my sister and

102
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.600
I sail up? When I was hooked and at seven,

103
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.120
I snucked the sailboat off the dock, and this squall

104
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.120
came through. If you've ever been on the water when

105
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:13.360
that black, black cloud, that line is moving quickly toward you,

106
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:17.439
and in front of it is lightning and thunder and

107
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.279
high wind. And I'm out there alone in this little

108
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:25.560
twelve foot ram sailing along, and I forgot that I

109
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:29.680
needed to laff, which is point the bow into the squall. Instead,

110
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:33.639
I ran away, like all good seven year olds should

111
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.600
do in the face of danger. But of course I

112
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.159
didn't let out my sails, and so I capsized. And

113
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.960
it's the only time I've capsized in my life. And

114
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.639
my parents are watching all of this unfold, and the

115
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.440
best thing that they ever did was nothing. I had

116
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:54.080
to figure out how to raise the boat from capsized

117
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.799
position to upright, to bail the boat and sail the

118
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.759
boat home, And from that moment on, sailing for me

119
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.240
was freedom and responsibility. Problem solving freedom, so I was

120
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.600
never really alone on the water. I felt like that

121
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.879
was a place that I could really drive. One other

122
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.200
revelation I wanted to share is that I spent decades

123
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.279
working in the corporate world, starting with IBM, and then

124
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.840
moved on to a couple different startups, took one of

125
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.639
those public, and then worked for IBM, cap Gemini, and

126
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.200
T Mobile, and really had the privilege of creating a

127
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:38.559
lot of new valuable businesses within these large operations, what

128
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:42.600
I finally called entrepreneuring from my dear friends Liva and

129
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.039
Gifford Pinchot's book by the same title. But I never

130
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.600
felt smart enough, I never felt good enough. Again that

131
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:54.120
theme from my childhood of being an outsider and being

132
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.720
an approval junkie and a rewards awards junkie. Until about

133
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.039
four years ago, when I had been laid off from

134
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.159
cap Gemini with another two hundred and fifty five other

135
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:10.679
directors and vps, I was starting a new practice. It

136
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:14.080
was not yet profitable, and I was unemployed for over

137
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.240
a year, which, as the sole provider of our family,

138
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:22.759
was incredibly stressful. But what a gift, right going back

139
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.840
to what I said at the start of the show

140
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:30.759
How Life Happens, we get our character gets forged, not crucible.

141
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.519
So I finally had to start doing some significant inner

142
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.399
work because I wasn't getting the results when I started

143
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.440
my company in January of twenty twenty two as a

144
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:46.440
result of the failed leadership around the globe trying to

145
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.279
improve the health of our planet. And I was committed

146
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.840
at that point to do what I could to clean

147
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.120
up my own carbon footprint and inspire and empower others

148
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:57.879
to do the same. So four years ago, I started

149
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:01.879
to work on separating who I was as a person,

150
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:07.159
a good person, worthy person, from a person who was

151
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:11.840
not yet becoming all that he wanted to become. My transformation,

152
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:16.080
the messy middle of my transformation was still very, very nascent.

153
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.159
So we've had a number of guests on this show,

154
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:23.679
first one being Mature Graham, who helped me do a

155
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:28.279
lot of really good identity work and recognizing that just

156
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:34.159
by being alive, it's a miracle and it's an incredible gift.

157
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.480
And so I am not my results, I am not

158
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.759
my titles. I am not the amount of money that

159
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.919
I bring in as the provider. I play those roles,

160
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.799
but they don't define me. And so when those results

161
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:53.759
are not happening, I learned, although it's not been easy

162
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.960
at all, that I'm enough And I really do believe

163
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.440
that part of our challenge in the modern world is

164
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.799
that there's a lot of people that have not yet

165
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.039
had to, or if they have needed to, just maybe

166
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.879
resisted the inner work looking at oneself and saying who

167
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.399
am I really? What do I stand for? What matters

168
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.000
to me? I never felt very smart until I decided

169
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.000
to take a formal IQ test and score to the

170
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.759
one thirty, which I'm told is pretty good. And now

171
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.399
I feel validated a little bit more as a result

172
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:34.440
of all this inner work. I believe in myself a

173
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:38.320
lot more as a result of the work on the

174
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.759
challenges that I've had. So it was funny all those

175
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.559
years leading others and creating some pretty amazing results. I

176
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.120
won calculation about nine billion dollars of value for IBM

177
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:55.200
and Ooweing Well Data cap Gemini Immobile. But I was

178
00:12:55.240 --> 00:13:00.320
the last person I learned to lead myself. Second story,

179
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.240
I want to kick off with a question, and this

180
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.159
is related to have you ever been blindsided by something

181
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.279
you never saw coming? So I was on a phone

182
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.159
call we didn't have Zoom back then, and my VP

183
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.759
called me and told me that I was being laid off.

184
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.960
And this was with, as I mentioned a moment ago,

185
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:25.039
about two hundred and fifty five other vps and directors

186
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:30.720
at cap Gemini. And I was absolutely in shock because

187
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.399
I had just helped cap Gemini grow up practice a

188
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.399
digital innovation practice the previous two and a half years

189
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.440
that we grew from nothing to about twenty one million dollars.

190
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:48.080
But more importantly, we were creating some amazing intellectual property

191
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:53.120
that cap Gemini then spread throughout the organization. You know,

192
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.639
hundreds of thousands of people were leveraging our digital innovation

193
00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:03.000
presentations and methods and works and things. I get all

194
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.399
choked up just talking about it. We had just landed

195
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:10.320
Coca Cola and Toyota, and we're starting to do strategy

196
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.720
work and road mapping work, and then that was going

197
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:17.559
to lead to, you know, hopefully millions of dollars of

198
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.840
service work or the cap Gemini consultants. But it was

199
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.080
still nascent. It was it was not yet profitable. We're

200
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.879
probably good nine months away from being profitable, and so

201
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:35.080
I remember feeling not only shock, but anger, fear, shame,

202
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:41.360
more fear and then quietly joy because it wasn't as

203
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:44.879
happy in those last years in the corporate world. It

204
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:49.519
seemed like every meeting was contentious and there was a

205
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:55.200
lot of fear, uncertainty and doubt, and corporations as large

206
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.519
as the Boeings and the Cap Geminis and the T Mobiles,

207
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:02.679
they get a group thing going, it's not a psychologically

208
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:06.879
safe place to be. I was burning out. I didn't

209
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:10.480
know it at the time, but clearly there were those

210
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.960
signs of irritation and waking up at three in the

211
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.360
morning not just feeling very good at all about what

212
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.240
was going on in my professional life. But I had

213
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.399
golden handcuffs. I was making really really good money and

214
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:29.240
so now I wasn't And as a soul provider, that's

215
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:34.879
incredibly challenging. And I remember that I thought, Okay, so

216
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:39.279
I wait and tell Margaret about this, and I realized, no,

217
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.759
she's my best friend, she's my soulmate, my partner. And

218
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.720
I also remembered that bad news doesn't get better with age.

219
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:50.919
So I remember sharing the news that that same day

220
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:54.759
and she held me and we both cried. I mean,

221
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.320
it was it was really heart wrenching. I had not

222
00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:02.559
experienced that before. And then she asked something that really

223
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:05.679
helped ground me and helped me move forward, and she said,

224
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.960
what do you really want to be when you grow up?

225
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.240
What do you really want to do? And I didn't

226
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.919
have an immediate answer, or I think I was still

227
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.879
very much in shock with the layoff, But what started

228
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:21.960
to emerge was, Hey, I'll think about this, and she said, well,

229
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.519
you know, just know that I have your back, I

230
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:28.600
have your support. Please do whatever you choose that supports

231
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:32.200
you that it's your purpose and your mission as long

232
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.960
as it's legal, she said. So that question really changed everything.

233
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.840
It gave me permission to dream again and to think

234
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:45.320
a little bit about what might be my life besides

235
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:51.120
being a provider and being an executive leader and creating

236
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:57.240
these entrepreneurial businesses for large corporations. So I will say

237
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:02.360
that this origin story, I hope it's not been too meandering,

238
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.759
but I think I have become a better person as

239
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:09.599
a result of being the outsider. And I certainly become

240
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:15.640
a better person by accepting and tacking, as all good

241
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:20.559
sailors do, from one form to another and realizing that

242
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:24.960
I'm not the form, I'm not the job. I am

243
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.319
a good person who cares deeply about people first and

244
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.440
wants to make a difference, positive difference in the world.

245
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.319
One of the challenges that I think many of us

246
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.640
are experiencing right now as parents is that our young people,

247
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:47.000
young adults, especially in their twenties and early thirties, are

248
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:52.759
kind of rudderless in ways. Some are very clear about

249
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.559
what their purpose and mission is, but many are not.

250
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.119
I see in my own family, even in my own behavior,

251
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.279
attendency to not want to do some of the inner

252
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:09.960
work instead scrolling YouTube shorts and Facebook reels, et cetera.

253
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:14.599
And yet we're giving up our freedom. And so I

254
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:19.279
just worry for my adult children Ian and Catherine, as

255
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:24.359
well as my grandchildren Daisy soon to be added this

256
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.480
July with either Liam or Hunter. They haven't decided on

257
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:31.200
a boy's name yet, but that is a real challenge

258
00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:36.960
I think for many young people to step out of

259
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.920
the simulation of social media and zoom calls and just

260
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.200
all the ways that we are inundated with technology and

261
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:49.440
messaging that is really not very healthy at times. And

262
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.759
so I just I hope that we as parents can

263
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.759
love up our children and our grandchildren and do what

264
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.920
my parents did when I was in serious. You know,

265
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.599
it's quite a dangerous thing to be capsized in a squall,

266
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:08.640
big white caps and lots of scary I wind and

267
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.000
I think sometimes people, young people are in the storm

268
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.000
right now and they don't know a way get out

269
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:19.359
of it, and so they numb themselves through technology. And

270
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.799
I think jenit of Ai is also becoming an escape

271
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.640
and I have to really really be careful myself with that.

272
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:30.559
So we're going to go and have a break shortly,

273
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:33.640
and when we come back, I want to talk a

274
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:38.200
little bit about what does it mean to transform personally

275
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:43.599
and professionally and are there any frameworks and tips and

276
00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:48.519
tricks that I have developed, test driven myself and apply

277
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.720
with clients all over the globe. I'll be you over

278
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.920
now nearly a thousand clients between my Jaale University Business

279
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:03.920
and Law Clinic, to my Bambridge Graduate Institute, Sustainable NBA Operations,

280
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:10.160
business competition programs, and my private clients. So it'll be

281
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.880
really fun to have you come back. Don't go away

282
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:17.960

Captain Dave, your personal regenerator.

295
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.319
Welcome back if you are just now joining us. I

296
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.200
am my own guest on this ninth edition of the

297
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:29.240
Regenerate Show, and we've been talking a little bit about

298
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.680
origin stories and how the ups and downs of life,

299
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:37.559
the challenges of life forge us, forge our character, and

300
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.599
how I worry a little bit about the young folks

301
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:47.480
in our lives, my adult children, my grandchildren, and how

302
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:51.839
living in the simulation living through social media and technology

303
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:57.119
is really disconnecting us from who we are and kind

304
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:01.119
of masks the need to do the inner work so

305
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:03.519
that we get to know ourselves and then we can

306
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:09.359
more likely flourish, and we can continuously transform ourselves to

307
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:13.440
get just a little bit clearer to our purpose and

308
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:15.359
make a difference in people's lives and.

309
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:16.119
Have fun doing it.

310
00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:18.839
So, now that we're back, I wanted to talk a

311
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.319
little bit about, well, what do I mean by personal

312
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:27.799
and professional transformation? It's kind of the hot word transformation.

313
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:31.440
Well what does it mean? Well, I'm going to fall

314
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:36.839
back on Joe Pine, whom I've been building a relationship

315
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:41.920
since I discovered his book The Experience Economy, and he

316
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:46.759
recently released in February his new book, The Transformation Economy,

317
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:50.519
and so stealing shamelessly but giving him credit for it,

318
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:56.200
I define transformation as becoming who you want to become.

319
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:59.440
If you want to add a little nuanced to that,

320
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:05.480
really to flourishing again, Joe Pine, Transformation Economy, And I'll

321
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:08.640
put his contact information in the show notes, and I'm

322
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:11.640
excited to say he's accepted to be a guest on

323
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:16.079
Regenerate again about a month, so I'll look forward to that.

324
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:22.079
But the nuance related to transformation and flourishing is becoming

325
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.480
who you were meant to become, and the nuance there

326
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:31.400
is maybe what you want and who you were meant

327
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:35.440
to become. They could be different. And what's fascinating to

328
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:40.440
me is our subconscious, our unconscious, whatever you want to

329
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:46.119
call that part of ourselves, our soul, our brains. What's

330
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:51.119
the ice under the waterline of the iceberg that's really

331
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:55.160
driving so much of our behavior? Being able to understand

332
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:59.039
what we were meant to be. And that is a

333
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:03.480
difficult question to answer, like who am I really? And

334
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:06.480
I didn't really know the answer to that question until

335
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.279
at fifty eight. I'm now sixty four. I did an

336
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:15.839
amazing experience with Jim Bunch and his team around core values.

337
00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:21.400
Gina Pigott led and facilitated my discovery of my core values,

338
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:25.319
which are love, which includes it's an uber value, which

339
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:28.920
includes family, which is everything to me. I do everything

340
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.279
I exist to serve my family. It includes world peace

341
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:39.960
and community, empathy, compassion, tough love. You know, love is

342
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:45.319
this remarkable value. And of course the Beatles got it

343
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:50.640
right when they said all you need is love. Second

344
00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:55.480
value is adventure. I used to have challenge as my

345
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.160
second core value, but I was attracting way too many problems,

346
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:04.279
so I decided to shift attack to challenge. Just sorry

347
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:10.680
to adventure and way fewer problems and way more on adventures.

348
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:14.839
My third is kind of a compound word of design build.

349
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:19.599
So I love the process of ide eating and creating

350
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:23.920
something from nothing. I remember creating those hydroplanes from just

351
00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:27.400
little blocks of wood and shaping them. And yes I

352
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:30.319
had a real hydroplane as a role model, but you know,

353
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.000
how do I create that in a way that I

354
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:36.400
can pull it behind my bike and it's the most

355
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.799
durable hydroplane when we have these collisions that we would

356
00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:43.839
do on bikes. So love seeing right from the idea

357
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:47.759
through to the execution. So the build is really important

358
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.519
to me, and that design build has been an arc

359
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:55.640
of my career, coming up with new ideas, but not

360
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.400
just stopping there, but executing those ideas with other people.

361
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.559
And then when it becomes more maintenance, I get bored

362
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.519
and my neurodiversity ADHD kicks in and I transfer it

363
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:09.920
to somebody else and then go on and do the

364
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:16.640
next thing. So the third value is leadership. Actually that

365
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:21.759
would be the fifth if we're counting. So love, adventure, create,

366
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:26.480
build kind of two different values. So number five is leadership,

367
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.519
and I define leadership as influence. It's not the title

368
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:38.240
CEO or director of marketing or captain. It's influence and

369
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:42.160
that means that each one of us, regardless of the

370
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:44.759
seat that we're sitting in or the role that we're

371
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:49.119
playing in our families, in our teams, in our organizations,

372
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:52.720
in our community, we can all be a leader. Now,

373
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.000
it's not easy to be a person of influence. And

374
00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.759
there's kind of two types of leadership, right. There's position leadership,

375
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.720
so you have the title of director, and you can

376
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:07.880
get a lot done when you have the right title.

377
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:11.920
But how many times have you been in an organization

378
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:15.599
where there's the official org chart with all the titles

379
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:19.319
and the names associated with them. Then there's the power

380
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:24.359
chart or the influence chart of who's really making things

381
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:28.279
happen in the organization. I would choose to be on

382
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:31.680
the influence chart more than I would on the org chart.

383
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:37.000
So leadership is everyone's business then, or the opportunity should

384
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.319
you choose to lean in on that. And that's what

385
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:44.039
I love to do is help young folks, next generation leaders,

386
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:47.519
kind of find their own voice, you know, understand their

387
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:51.480
core values, their ekey guy, their reason for being, their purpose,

388
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:55.440
their brand, and then helping them take themselves to market

389
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:59.440
like you would an award winning product or service. So

390
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:01.160
this is the career work that I love to do,

391
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:04.720
is helping people find who they really are a deep,

392
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:08.240
deep level and do the identity work so that they

393
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:11.480
believe in themselves and reduce the imposter syndrome and become

394
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.160
more comfortable with being uncomfortable, so that then they can

395
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.720
create the life of their dreams that's aligned with what

396
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:21.799
they're really good at, what they're passionate about, what the

397
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:25.200
world needs, and what they can get paid really really

398
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:27.799
well to do. When they make their work their play right,

399
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:29.799
they can do that all day long. And so that's

400
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.480
where I have been developing and growing in the last

401
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.799
four years, really defining based on my core values. The

402
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:42.480
last core value is in impact. So yes, I'm still

403
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:46.240
an achievement junkie. I don't know that will ever go away.

404
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:50.079
I still am a pleaser. I'm sure that that will

405
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:55.359
get mitigated constantly. May I outgrow it? Probably not, But

406
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:59.319
I'm learning to bite my tongue and not try to

407
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.559
coach my own DNA. As they have reminded me many times, Dad,

408
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.559
thank you for sharing too much information. Let me just

409
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.279
live my life and I'm learning that lesson every day.

410
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.319
So with those core values, what I find is it's

411
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:19.200
so foundational to how people can really then get much

412
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:22.839
much clearer about what kind of work they might want

413
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:24.680
to do or how they want to show up in

414
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:28.720
the world. Core values for me have been an amazing

415
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:32.920
resource defining my definition of success. What does a great

416
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.200
day look like? What does a great week, month, life

417
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:39.839
look like? And so I ask myself in the morning

418
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:43.279
during some brief journaling, Okay, what's one thing that I

419
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:46.319
can do today to more fully express one or more

420
00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:48.720
of my core values? And at the end of the day,

421
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.480
or more likely the next morning, how did I do?

422
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:56.000
And if I can keep growing and learning every day

423
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:58.920
and aligning what I do and how I do it

424
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:03.920
to my core value, life just flows it. Really, It's

425
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:07.519
like that sailboat when the jib and the main are

426
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:11.000
trimmed and the boat accelerates and you go whoo. You

427
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:14.279
know it just it feels even though you're sailing against

428
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:17.680
the wind and the boat's working really hard, and so

429
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:20.799
are you, that you're using the magic of lift because

430
00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:24.359
you're aligned with your own purpose, your own values. So

431
00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:28.200
I would say, if I had known in my twenties,

432
00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:32.759
what I know in my fifties, O MG, it would

433
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:38.119
have been a pretty remarkable So I know that we're

434
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:42.480
coming up on the end of our show here and

435
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:46.920
I wanted to pivot a little bit more toward why

436
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:51.759
did I start regenerat and why I doing this reginative

437
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:56.200
world group? And the short answer is in November of

438
00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:00.880
twenty twenty one, the media went razy all over the

439
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:06.599
globe saying, hey this top twenty six in Glasgow, Scotland,

440
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:13.319
COPS an acronym community of practice, the world leaders came

441
00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:17.079
together to discuss what was the next ten years from

442
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:21.039
twenty twenty to twenty thirty. What were we going to

443
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:27.799
do collectively as a global citizenry to reduce the rising

444
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:34.200
global temperatures? Largely Mother nature is changing, is in a

445
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:38.720
receding ice age, and human beings because of our lifestyle,

446
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:42.759
at least in the United States and Europe and Asia,

447
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:47.440
we're contributing a lot of carbon dioxide and methane from

448
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:53.319
burning fossil fuels for transportation, for manufacturing, for agriculture or

449
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:57.240
animal husbandry. And the facts and data as I have

450
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:02.599
seen them, and I'm always looking for the truth. So

451
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:07.160
if you have different vaccine data evidence than I do.

452
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:10.200
I really really want to hear it, because I'm continuously

453
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:14.559
refining my views of what are the root causes for

454
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:20.480
our more violent storms, our longer summer droughts. Here in

455
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:24.599
the Seattle area, We've had more fires in the summer

456
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:28.720
than I can ever remember. And last summer, in particular,

457
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:31.960
there was a significant bear gulch fire I think was

458
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:36.240
twenty two thousand acres and it was just about a

459
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.039
mile and a half away from our cottage. So this

460
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:42.680
was really in my face. This was really personal, and

461
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:48.000
so I formed Regenerate, a Regenerave World Group in January

462
00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:53.880
of twenty two, primarily to help level up leaders, their

463
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:59.279
leadership within themselves, their families, their teams, their organizations, because

464
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:01.880
I really believe my heart that business could be a

465
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:05.599
much bigger lever for good than it has been. And

466
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:11.359
I have two role models. One is Patagonia, the outdoor

467
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:18.359
apparel company. It got started by Yvon Schnard. He's a mountaineer,

468
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:23.839
and he realized that his etons and other gadgets for

469
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:28.839
rock climbing were actually harming the rock and if so

470
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:33.519
many people were banging these pieces of iron into the

471
00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:38.119
crevices that in a few years those that rock wall

472
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:41.240
was not going to be climbable anymore, and so he

473
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:47.279
designed products and services products for the mountaineers that would

474
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:51.519
not only give them a safe experience but also preserve

475
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:55.599
the environment. And I love this. Patagonia's belief is that

476
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:59.279
their purpose is really to improve the health of the

477
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:04.000
Earth and their stakeholder, their primary stakeholder is our planet.

478
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:07.279
And so they're very values based, very very mission driven,

479
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:12.639
huge engagement amongst their employees, and the way that they've

480
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:16.360
structured the organization. Even though they're publicly held, they're not

481
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:21.440
nearly as motivated by short term pressures to keep the

482
00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:26.840
stock price up by meeting quarterly performance metrics. And especially

483
00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:30.840
in this world of generative AI, where many large organizations

484
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:35.519
are replacing very very talented people with generative AI bots

485
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:39.079
intelligence agents, I just really think we have to think

486
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:41.519
hard about is that really the world that we want

487
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:45.400
to live in? What are all of you talented people,

488
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:50.320
especially if you're often doing digital related stuff throughout your day,

489
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:53.920
anything digital is likely going to get eaten by the

490
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:57.440
bot unless we humans decide that we want to create

491
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:01.920
a different world and use dinnertive AI to enhance the

492
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:06.039
human rather than replace the human worker. So for the

493
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:09.559
last four years, I have been on this mission from God.

494
00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:12.960
If you remember that Jim Belushi dan Akroid, Yes, I

495
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:16.639
am dating myself a little bit their movie The Blues Brothers,

496
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:20.320
and I'm on a mission from God to level people

497
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:23.400
up because my belief is that if they're willing to

498
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:25.840
do the work like I was willing to do the

499
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:28.960
work the last four years and find out what their

500
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:32.880
ekey guy is right, they're gifted at what they love

501
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:35.239
to do with the world needs and what they can

502
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:39.039
be well compensated. If they do the core values work,

503
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:42.039
they do the ekey guy work, they find out with

504
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:45.440
their personal brand, by the way, mine is the Explorer brand, well,

505
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:48.719
then they're going to align their work with their play

506
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.599
and it won't really matter, you know, how much money

507
00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:56.159
they're making, as long as it's enough. And if we

508
00:35:56.280 --> 00:36:00.360
all live our values and maybe ask the question is

509
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:03.119
do I really need to buy that piece of clothing?

510
00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:06.360
Ask fashion, for example, do I really need to replace

511
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:09.199
my car? It's only about one hundred thousand miles. You

512
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:12.880
could probably still go another fifty thousand miles. If more

513
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:16.840
of us leveled up our own lives and had a

514
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:20.639
little bit more emotional capacity and resilience than to think

515
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:25.440
beyond ourselves and think about our communities and think about planet.

516
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:32.800
It wouldn't take nearly the combativeness that we're experiencing. Now

517
00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:38.119
I'm right, you're wrong. It's the planet. It's not us

518
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:43.280
human beings that's causing the rising global temperatures in severe

519
00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:47.639
weather and drought and fire. You know, if I'm wrong,

520
00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:50.320
we're just going to have cleaner air and cleaner water.

521
00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:53.760
But if I'm right that human beings really are part

522
00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:58.000
of this, mother Nature doesn't really care if we survive.

523
00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:04.280
This is the life they call it when there's a transition,

524
00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:08.119
and sometimes ten percent, sometimes a third of life is

525
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:12.840
killed off because it doesn't adapt. Think about the dinosaurs.

526
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:16.000
So there's no guarantee that we're going to be going

527
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:17.920
to be on this planet unless we figure out how

528
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:21.360
to work together and adapt to the changing climate. And

529
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:25.360
so my belief is that business can be much much

530
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:27.840
greater force for good and I invite you to join

531
00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:32.320
me in that mission. So in closing, what I wanted

532
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:37.079
to mention is that this work for me is so purposeful,

533
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:39.719
and yes, I can get a bit strident with my

534
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:44.239
own family as a regenerative life and leadership and career

535
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:49.400
or life leadership and business guide, a new term that

536
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:53.039
I'm using instead of a coach or consultant. Again. With

537
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:57.119
Joe Pine and the Transformation Economy, he talks about the

538
00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:04.039
shifting role of coach to guide using wisdom rather than answers,

539
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:08.039
providing answers to others but asking better questions. The reason

540
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:10.960
why I've been so committed to this for the last

541
00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:14.119
four years, and we're in the process of selling our

542
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:17.760
home so that I can lower my monthly not so

543
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:20.559
I can keep doing this work because in the recent

544
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:27.719
changes in the United States, our government policies, the US

545
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:33.079
Israel Iran conflict that's been impacting now a lot of

546
00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:36.760
the Middle East people aren't wanting to hire coaches as

547
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:39.519
much as they used to. So I'm absolutely dedicated to

548
00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:42.320
this work because I want to be able to look

549
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:47.559
Ian and Catherine, my two adult children, and even more

550
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:51.800
importantly Daisy neither Liam Hunter don't know which name you

551
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:55.159
will adopt so that when they ask, hey, Papa, what

552
00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:57.840
did you do to make a difference in the world,

553
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.719
you know, were you a part of the mess? And

554
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:03.559
I definitely have been a part of the mess. I

555
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:07.599
unknowingly was a road warrior. I traveled hundreds of thousands

556
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:11.880
of miles over the course of the tenure road warrior.

557
00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:14.840
I'm committed to doing the work to clean up my

558
00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:18.360
own mess and then to inspire others to do the same,

559
00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:22.199
so that together we can look each other on the

560
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:25.039
eye and say, hey, we did the best that we

561
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:27.840
could with what we had to make a positive difference.

562
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:32.519
And the Regenerate show is really all about how do

563
00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:36.719
many people work through their own messy personal and professional

564
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:42.360
transformations and know that the mess is probably always going

565
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:45.679
to be with us. The messy middle is not going

566
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:50.360
to end. It's a journey, not a destination. So like

567
00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:55.239
all good sailors, it's about the process of the adventure.

568
00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:58.400
And yes, we love getting into the port and celebrating

569
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:02.800
with great food and drink and storytelling. So the destination

570
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:07.599
does matter whoever. The messy middle, I think, is always

571
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:10.280
going to be part of our journey should you choose

572
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:15.199
to accept it. Humission impossible theme dun d d. So

573
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:17.719
my vision is bold that business can be a force

574
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:20.599
for good and make no apology for it. And I

575
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:25.119
hope that transformation and especially Regeneritive what would nature do

576
00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:28.519
the logic of life? How might that really guide our

577
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:32.360
decision making? So our next port of call fellow kfour

578
00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:36.840
HD dot com media host is Angela Sharp will be

579
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:40.880
my guest next week. We'll be navigating through her messy

580
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:42.880
middle as well as mine, and we're going to be

581
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:47.679
talking about a theme break out of the simulation. Breakout

582
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:51.000
of the simulation. Angela is a business and tech project

583
00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:54.679
and program manager, and we're going to be discussing, you know,

584
00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:58.280
some some difficult questions about what we're seeing as the

585
00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:02.440
elders in our respective community. How are young people you

586
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:05.559
know struggling and how can we maybe help them find

587
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:10.000
their core values, their EKEI, their brand, take themselves to

588
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:13.920
market in a way that will give them more joy,

589
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:18.039
more agency, more freedom, greater wealth and enjoy the journey.

590
00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:21.559
So thank you very much for letting me drone on

591
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:26.599

592
00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:29.559
I know I did. I hope that you feel inspired

593
00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:32.679
and empowered and on behalf of the whole Talk four

media team. Please stay healthy, stay safe, we need you.
