You can produce fruit and much fruit only by staying attached to the vine and with constant pruning and cutting. That is a good thing and required for good fruit to be produced. SO next time you're being cut and pruned do not dismay but rejoice in the Lord, for you are getting ready to bear good fruit. For details, questions and additional content on how you can increase your faith and produce good fruit please visit www.MaximizeU.life or www.spirituscounseling.com or email [email protected] Thanks

Ep 52 | Lead to Liberate: Wisdom, AI, and the Future of Leadership 1/30/2026 Today we are #LIVEInTheHIVE with Brian Gorman, maverick leadership coach and author of Leading into the Age of Wisdom: Reimagining the Future of Work. Brian writes: “When hierarchies falter, networks and circles emerge. When loyalty contracts dissolve, people seek belonging and purpose. When change accelerates, organizations must cultivate adaptability and rhythm. When technology grows powerful, the human role shifts from doing the work of machines to bringing discernment, empathy, and wisdom into the system.” What are the implications for corporations and organizations? And from a larger perspective, democracy and patriarchy? As Klaus Schwab writes in The Fourth Industrial Evolution, “The changes are so profound that, from the perspective of human history, there has never been a time of greater promise or greater peril.” Is our dystopian view that AI is replacing human-kind true or false? Which beliefs, habits, or assumptions about leadership may need to be unlearned or reframed for me to become an Age of Wisdom leader? We touch on: - We are at a tipping point with AI that requires making clear decisive decisions to choose the ultimate path upon which humanity will embark, recognizing that we’re on the verge of the equivalent of the Industrial Revolution. - AI has made human intelligence obsolete, but humans possess WISDOM, Wisdom guides our decisions in how we utilize AI. - Hierarchy assumes wisdom rests in the top tier, when in fact everyone has wisdom or the potential for wisdom. - Brian shares 2 stories of well-known corporations discovering that wisdom from the C-suite is no longer sufficient. - Democracy itself (and all patriarchal systems) requires the overlay of these same skill sets as leaders moving into The Age of Wisdom. - Decentralizing decision making from the top doesn’t slow systems down. - What are wisdom circles? How do we respond to crisis? And what will be the impact of our decisions over the next 7 generations? - Work is not done through time, it’s done through energy. How do we build physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy? - Circle, rather than linear, philosophy- Interconnectedness. - All this and so much more.

Poets & Prophets—A Formational Journey for Change Leaders is for leaders who yearn for this next level of consciousness, who are ready to risk letting go in order to step into a deeper way of being, belonging, and becoming. Is this Journey for You? You may be called to this journey if several of the following are true: You can no longer lead from performance alone—something deeper is demanding your attention. The strategies that once worked now feel hollow, forced, or misaligned. You sense that what is being asked of you cannot be accomplished through passion, skill, and gifts alone—it requires connecting soul with Source. You feel both fear and relief at the idea of letting go of your former ways of being. Your usual sources of certainty—role, reputation, expertise—no longer support your sense of call. You experience a persistent inner summons toward crossing the divides that separate us. You recognize that insight alone is no longer enough—you are being invited into a new level of consciousness. This is an iterative journey that invites deeper alignment, widening circles of impact, and a return to leadership as a creative, relational, and generative act.

Ep 44 | Finding Joy in Solos, Songs, and Stories with Sean Harkness and Liz Piccoli 10/2/25 Today we are #LIVEintheHIVE with two special guests, multi-award-winning guitarist and singer/songwriter, Sean Harkness - and Liz Picolli, SDC director/choreographer, and founder/artistic director of Queen of Rogues Arts Space in Woodstock, NY. Sean is returning to The Plum at Traver Hollow House (www.ThePlumTH2.com) on Saturday October 18th with his SOLO show, Just Me: Solos, Songs, and Stories. He will also be performing at Queen of Rogues Arts Space in Woodstock on Friday, October 17th. Today’s episode is of course, about plugging these upcoming shows, but more importantly, it’s a conversation about the power of ART – theatre, music, visual art, storytelling– to uplift and inspire – not only an audience, but also the performers themselves – in these challenging times. It’s a conversation about building new performance and gathering spaces, creating and sharing safe, supportive and inclusive communities, and about RESISTANCE to authoritarianism through art, music, truth-telling, and storytelling. We touch on… - As you know, I always ask my guests, “What identity do you lead with”? And Sean and Liz have unexpected and wonderful answers to kick off this delicious and rich conversation. - What inspired Liz to create and run Queen of Rogues Art Space. - The importance of building community and being a part of many communities. - Sean is most known for being a collaborator with other musicians and singers. What inspired him to create a solo show? And why now? Sean shares his goals, and the obstacles he overcame in sharing his own voice in a solo show. - How creating/performing/artistry is keeping us sane and connected to joy in these challenging times. - All this and SO MUCH MORE.

¿Conoces el impacto de la falta de padre? La experiencia personal ha revelado la devastación potencial que acecha a cada momento en una vida sin padre. De hecho, estadísticamente, los efectos tienen la probabilidad de retrasar o eliminar literalmente las buenas costumbres de vida, la destrucción de una cultura alentadora y la eliminación de padres con potencial de buen comportamiento de la sociedad. www.MaximizeU.life [email protected]
