| Steve Finn - Molder of Dreams | 26 Mar 2023 | 00:46:25 | |
What does it take to seed a dream - and see it come to life? That's the question we put in front of entrepreneur Steve Finn, the founder, and director of Chestnut Mountain Ranch in Morgantown, WV. As a young child, Steve Finn lost his dad and became fatherless. After struggling as a teen, he found a new lease on life and decided to be a police officer with the purpose of helping others who struggled as he did. Eventually, his heart led him and his wife to start a boys home in the mountains of West Virginia -- a place of refuge and restoration rescuing them from mediocrity -- or worse. Today, Steve and his wife are creating change across the state. It's a reminder that a dream pursued can create a bigger impact than you can imagine. You don't want to miss this interview.

| Adversaries into Allies | 30 Sep 2021 | 00:35:35 | |
Book 3 of the Leadership Book Mastermind series is Adversaries into Allies by Bob Burg. Faced with the task of persuading someone to do what we want, most of us expect, and often encounter, resistance. We see the other person as an adversary and often resort to coercion or manipulation in order to get our way. But while this approach might at times bring us short-term results, it leaves people with a bad feeling about themselves and about us. At that point, our relationship with the person is weakened and our influence dramatically decreased. There is a better way. Drawing on his own experiences and the stories of other influential people, Burg offers five simple principles of what he calls “ultimate influence”—the ability to win people to your side in a way that leaves everyone feeling great about the outcome…and about themselves! Watch us on the weekly Empowered Living show at noon on Thursday or on YouTube.
