Ep 262- Hiring A Team Players Interview Rick Crossland

August 28, 2019 11:29 - 45 minutes - 36.6 MB

What would your business or team look like if all of your team were A players?  Maybe some of you already have that. (You don't have to brag about it, it's unbecoming) An A team player is a team member who is able to produce at a much greater level than other team members.  Since […]

Ep 261- Creating a Growth Environment for Your Team

August 22, 2019 16:54 - 22 minutes - 17.7 MB

My favorite thing about working with so many business owners is that they are fun to be around. You are inspiring. You have a drive to make a difference.  You like to grow and learn new things. This desire for growth can be a good thing for your team and it can be a source […]

Ep 260- Book Review: The Body Keeps the Score

July 31, 2019 11:27 - 22 minutes - 18.2 MB

Most business owners that I know are big time value creators that are driven to make a difference.  That drive that pushes them to unbelievable heights doesn't always come from a great place.  Being an entrepreneur can be a lonely endeavor.  Most people don't understand you and that starts with your own family and friends. […]

Ep 259- What is Your Identity?

June 19, 2019 15:12 - 26 minutes - 21.4 MB

  “The problem with self-identity is not just a problem for the young. It is a problem all the time. Perhaps the problem. It should haunt old age, and when it no longer does it should tell you that you are dead.” ~ Norman Maclean Is there a more difficult thing for human beings than […]

Ep 258- Everybody Delivers an Experience

June 05, 2019 11:12 - 21 minutes - 17.3 MB

  The first principle that we discussed with Total Experience Design, TXD, is that “Everyone Delivers an Experience Whether They Know it or Not.”  When somebody lets you down, it's easy to make assumptions about people and their intentions.  What if people want to do a good job, why don't they? Hanlon's Razor states: “Never […]

Ep 257- The Key Ingredient to Success

May 15, 2019 20:27 - 14 minutes - 11.8 MB

Follow the success of high achievers and you see that they are committed to the things that they are working on and trying to accomplish. 100% committed. When it comes to success, this week's podcast addresses three things that business owners engage in that are good things but get taken too far and get in […]

Ep 256- Positioning Your Leadership

May 08, 2019 12:00 - 17 minutes - 13.6 MB

As your business grows, it's easy to lose sight of intention in certain areas of your business.  Leadership is one of those areas. Just because you started a business, doesn't mean that your role as a leader is completely understood by your team. In the same token, just because you promoted another person to leadership […]

Ep 255- Are You Wasting Your Time with Employee Reviews?

May 01, 2019 11:58 - 19 minutes - 15.7 MB

  Employee reviews are a tough sell for employees and leaders alike.  No one likes to do them or be on the receiving end of a review gone wrong.  With as many leaders that don't like to do reviews, it begs the question, are employee reviews a waste of time. Total Experience design is about […]

Ep 254- Clear Thinking, Winning Action

February 20, 2019 18:05 - 15 minutes - 12.7 MB

Most people go through their lives without a clear intention and purpose for the things they do and the decisions they make.  Maybe you can relate.  Maybe you make decisions based upon limiting beliefs of the past.  Maybe you make decisions based upon what your mom or dad would want you to do.  Perhaps you […]

Ep 253- New Year, New You?

February 06, 2019 12:00 - 26 minutes - 21 MB

You and I both know that the magical turning of a calendar year does not unlock some hidden super power that didn't exist for you before.  A new year can be a time for hope and optimism and a time to create space to assess where you are at and where you want to go.  […]

Ep 252- Finding the Power in Your Morning Routine

January 30, 2019 13:13 - 23 minutes - 18.7 MB

It's been little bit since I have talked about the morning routine that we call a power hour. My friend Mike was asking some questions about my morning routine and rather than answer him directly with a message, like a normal person, I decided to record a podcast episode about it. The most practical way […]

Ep 251- How to Create Great Quarterly Goals

November 15, 2018 23:11 - 17 minutes - 16.4 MB

Having a well organized and empowered team is your path to growth and freedom.  Growth and freedom are two outcomes that I strive to achieve with every leader that I work with.  Goal setting helps to achieve growth and freedom by orchestrating the work that needs to be done by giving the team specific direction […]

Ep 250- The #1 Rule for Influence

November 07, 2018 13:00 - 12 minutes - 9.93 MB

Creating influence with your team is simpler than you think.  There is a lot of information out there on how to lead and manage better.  Your primary key to influence already exists and is easy to do. The problem is it's also easy not to do. At the heart of Total Experience Design is intention.  […]

Ep 249- How to Do Growth Well

November 02, 2018 21:04 - 20 minutes - 16.6 MB

Doing growth well is about creating that beautiful tension between exposing weakness and then using your purpose to work through that weakness in a powerful, creative way. Growth is one of those areas that you either learn to embrace or you learn to avoid.  To keep yourself in a growth space means that you acknowledge […]

Ep 248- Bringing Your Passion to Life (interview)

August 29, 2018 12:15 - 39 minutes - 31.8 MB

I have had the priviledge of knowing Charles Van Kessler for almost a year now.  He has attended some workshops that I have done in the past and always been a gracious participant and a true value creator.  Charles has a story that I felt the world needs to hear around bringing your personal passion […]

Ep 247- Context. How Many Of Us Use It?

August 22, 2018 12:17 - 13 minutes - 10.4 MB

One of the most damaging communication techniques in a relationship is using assumptions.  Assuming what people know. What they think. What they will or won't do.  When you don't help people understand or help them fill in the blanks, people will come to their own conclusions.  Those conclusions tend not to be too positive either.  […]

Ep 246- Embracing Failure and Critics

August 15, 2018 16:05 - 26 minutes - 20.9 MB

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who […]

Ep 245- Creating Your Formula for Success

August 08, 2018 12:25 - 17 minutes - 14.1 MB

Your formula for success is unique to you.  Don't let anyone tell you different.  When it comes to success, it's easy to listen to someone or try and emulate someone else. Someone else's success came from that person being uniquely who they are, creating your own formula for success will consist of who you are. […]

Ep 244- Embracing and Pursuing Freedom

August 01, 2018 12:36 - 23 minutes - 18.6 MB

One of the benefits of owning a business is freedom.  Freedom to work in the way that you feel best serves your purpose. It's a shame when that opportunity for freedom turns into bondage. Bondage to a schedule. Bondage to people. Bondage to systems. Bondage to your limiting beliefs. What would it look like to […]

Ep 243- Walking Through Your Day With Intention and Integrity

June 27, 2018 12:04 - 21 minutes - 17.3 MB

As a business owner, you have plenty on your plate.  What separates the business owners who thrive versus the ones who survive is that they make a commitment to their purpose.  They do this by walking in their purpose daily with intention and integrity. Does your day tend to get away from you? Do you […]

Ep 242- What Do You Really Want in Life?

June 01, 2018 14:21 - 23 minutes - 18.5 MB

Life doesn't always roll out the red carpet for your hopes and dreams.  In fact, sometimes it can feel like it does the exact opposite.  Once the resistance comes, the uncommitted stop in their tracks and walk the other way.  You can commit to your reasons or your results but you can't commit to both.  […]

Ep 241- 7 Ways to Build Trust with Your Team

May 23, 2018 21:37 - 20 minutes - 16.1 MB

Great, delivered experiences in business start from the inside out. This is point four of the Total Experience Design manifesto (click this link to download the book). A key part of building the internal culture is cultivating trust. When trust is absent leaders get frustrated and turn to control. When trust is presence it creates […]

Ep 240- Are You Being a Steward of Your Mission

May 16, 2018 11:35 - 17 minutes - 14.4 MB

What is your mission? Do you have one? For every time you are faced with a challenge there is a mission that drives you to working through the problem.  You know that there is a bigger purpose to the work that you do. Stewardship and mission go hand in hand.  When I am being a […]

Ep 239- Bringing Your Darkness Into the Light

May 10, 2018 00:22 - 34 minutes - 27.8 MB

When you have two people that you broke bread with as a college aged man take their lives in the span of a month (I talked about this a bit in episode 237 on gratitude and grace), it causes you to start to reflecting on your own life and your own struggles.  For years, I […]

May 02, 2018 12:22 - 37 minutes - 29.7 MB

  Great strategy is essential to sustainable business.  Unfortunately, strategy isn't something that come naturally to many people, business owners included.

Ep 237- The Power of Gratitude and Grace

April 25, 2018 12:23 - 28 minutes - 22.5 MB

Coming up on 10 years in business there are a lot of things to be grateful for and a lot of people to thank.  As I review the recording, there are a ton of people who I missed in here from clients to employees.  My Experience Coordinator, Marie has been a great asset to my […]

Ep 236- Who’s Taking Care of You?

February 07, 2018 12:54 - 16 minutes - 13.5 MB

When things hit the fan and aren't working out the way you want them to and when the demands of others starts to become overwhelming, what do you do? Many people look to create some margin in their lives and the thing that they look to cut out of their lives are items for their […]

January 31, 2018 12:57 - 40 minutes - 32.1 MB

Ep 234- The Cure for Scarcity

January 10, 2018 12:36 - 11 minutes - 9.1 MB

We all fall victim to scarcity thinking in our lives. When you operate out of a scarcity mindset, you play not to lose instead of playing to win. You blame other people for your shortcomings. You work against your purpose rather than work with the talents and abilities that God gave you to create value […]

Ep 233- The Purpose of Work

November 01, 2017 17:29 - 17 minutes - 13.7 MB

Why do you work?  Is it for a paycheck and financial security? For something to do? Is it an expression of something that you feel called to do? Does it eradicate a problem that you care about? What is the purpose of work? I believe we are wired for work and value creation.  I don't […]

Ep 232- Beware of the But

October 25, 2017 11:58 - 17 minutes - 14.2 MB

Fake accountability throws leaders off and derails team members careers if we don't recognize it and address it in the moment.  There's a simple word that a team member can use in a discussion that lets me know that they aren't taking full responsibility in a situation.  The word “but”. Anytime that word gets used […]

When is it good to take the visionary, free spirited entrepreneur and put them in a box? That's a tough question. In the initial stages of a business, it's a good idea to say yes more often to get a feel for what your business is and the best way for it to create value. […]

Ep 228- How to Create Deeper Impact in Your Business

September 13, 2017 11:20 - 15 minutes - 12.3 MB

The biggest challenge in a growing business is to encourage the owners of the business to rid themselves of good things so that they can do better things.  When you have been successful doing business a certain way, it's hard to let go of the things you know to embrace the things you don't. Travelling […]

Ep 227- There’s Always a Reason

September 06, 2017 11:15 - 13 minutes - 11.1 MB

If you aren't getting the results that you want in your business, you can do one of two things.  You can look at what didn't work and make corrections for the next time.  Or, you can make excuses.  The dangerous thing about the latter is that there are plenty of reasons to go around that […]

Ep 226- Expect the Mess

August 30, 2017 12:00 - 8 minutes - 6.74 MB

If leadership were easy then we wouldn't have the scarcity of great leadership that we have today.  Leadership can be challenging as well as rewarding.  It can feel thankful and thankless.  For some leaders, the wide range of emotions and issues that come with leadership is surprising.  They don't expect leadership to be messy. The […]

Last week I shared […]

August 09, 2017 12:31 - 16 minutes - 13 MB

As a young man learning how to be a professional at work, I was an absolute mess.  I continually flew by the seat of my pants and failed to show up in the powerful way that I was capable of.  If you look at the catalyst for my failure, look no further than the beginning […]

June 14, 2017 12:05 - 33 minutes - 27 MB

Ep 217- The Cost of Your Inaction

May 24, 2017 11:49 - 11 minutes - 8.93 MB

My clients are smart people who get stuck in a certain state in their business and it's not due to a lack of knowledge. What typically holds them back is fear, lack of belief in themselves, holding on to an event from their past as a reason to not move forward today, etc. The inability […]

Ep 215- Overcoming Ignorance

May 03, 2017 11:54 - 22 minutes - 17.8 MB

A friend of mine recently wondered why people were so ignorant.  Basically a typical Wednesday on Facebook.  When you look at how we ask people to live and how we have constructed school, work, investing, etc, is it a wonder why a high level of ignorance exists today? This week's podcast I talk about why […]

March 29, 2017 12:54 - 31 minutes - 25.5 MB

March 15, 2017 12:09 - 15 minutes - 12.5 MB

Confrontation and handling confrontation is one of the hardest things to get right, not only at work but in life in general.  Because of the awkwardness of confrontation, we tend to not create positive outcomes from our conversations and tend to allow certain answers for solutions to issues that don't create true change. If you […]
