Resources & Housekeeping

I’ve been asking for reviews of the podcast. While this is still important, my new call to action for listeners and readers is to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes or Stitcher. A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I would have a drawing when I reached 100 subscribers. This isn’t an easy number to get at this point. Instead, my success metric will be when my episodes average 200 downloads. Right now, they’re at 51. When they hit an average of 200, I’ll have a drawing for a book on this topic.

If you’re already subscribed, thank you and share this with as many of your peers who you believe would benefit. If you’re not subscribed, click here to go straight to iTunes to subscribe to The Inspired and Intentional business podcast.

Podcast worldview:

Gallup says 70% of US employees are disengaged from their work. This causes, what Ari Weinzweig calls an energy crisis in the workplace. Lost innovation, productivity and profits. Not to mention the tolls on the communities.

There are companies and organizations working to improve this. they are creating more open and collaborative work environments. They are realizing that treating people with dignity and providing meaningful work can be done while also running a financially solid organization.

My hope with this podcast is to inspire leaders, entrepreneurs,  and those coming into leadership through transition, to make intentional choices to balance profit and social impact.
