Here are a couple of podcast episodes that I’ve recently listened to that I thought would interest the Inspired and Intentional community. The first person I discovered on The Unmistakeable Creative podcast (hosted by ) was with Neil Pasricha. It’s the March 7th Episode titled “The Role of Intrinsic Motivation in Our Happiness.” One cool thing, he created a job helping CEOs be more productive with their time. He’s accomplished a lot in his young life.
Neil was also on the Self-Made Man Podcast episode titled “Happiness Equation Revealed.”
Then while trying to find the details of that episode I was reminded how much I enjoyed the interview on the April 18 episode of The Unmistakeable Creative, with a former CBS broadcaster, Michelle Gielan. She talks about Broadcasting Positivity.
Another reason both of these are good is because they quote various research on happiness, optimism, etc showing there are tangible, measurable effects of what we focus on and how it can help in our productivity, creativity, and health. Any company should want to encourage this in their people.
The changes we need to make to create a positive intentional impact are minor.
This is the second of three episodes with Ari Weinzwieg, co-founding partner of the Zingerman’s community of businesses. Last week he talked about being creative in developing your organization and openness.
This week he’ll cover the 3Cs of graphic design and how they fit into organizational design.
Here are a few questions to ponder as you wait for the next episode.
You can get hold of Ari by emailing him at ari@zingermans.com.

Here’s my first video that I’m promoting. 3 items of news that I found regarding Inspired and Intentional business.
The first is from Huffington Post’s new section called Purpose + Profit. It’s underwritten by PWC, Price Waterhouse Coopers, which is nice and bringing some big names to the movement.
The second is from a LinkedIn story called “.State of HR: Why You Should Fill Your Payroll with Purpose-Driven People” by Aaron Hurst, CEO of Imperative. A study was conducted regarding types of employees, they came up with 3 and I talk about them briefly.
The last one is about Mindy Hall, PhD. I heard her speak to Jeff Brown on the Read to Lead podcast (I keep calling it the Lead to Read cast.) and I want to bring attention to her and her book, Leading with Intention.
Which of these stories resonates with your situation and why?
