The Self Aware Leader with Jason Rigby

We all want to belong, to be part of something that is special, that inspires us to be be better humans collectively. Your business is the daily testing ground for self-improvement. Your culture is either toxic, generic, or intimate. Culture is the DNA that interweaves through every transaction and selfish or selfless action your family (i.e. employees) and you do as the leader. Airbnb CEO and Founder Brian Chesky Quotes on Culture: "Culture is so incredibly important because it is the foundation for all future innovation. People with passion can change the world." "Culture is simply a shared way of doing something with passion." "A company's culture is the foundation for future innovation. An entrepreneurs job is to build the foundation." "There's no such thing as a good or bad culture, it's either a strong or weak culture. And a good culture for somebody else may not be a good culture for you." "The stronger the culture, the less corporate process a company needs. When the culture is strong, you can trust everyone to do the right thing. People can be independent and autonomous. They can be entrepreneurial."

Field Manual 6-22, Leader Development, defines leadership as "the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation to accomplish the mission and improve the organization." This article by U.S. Army Capt. Ron Roberts is amazing for us to heed right now as Leaders with everything that is going on in our Country and in our Homes.

Quick podcast while in car had to rant about this lol. I have been convicted on working on humility, and I know it is a missing part in my life and in your quiver of leadership arrows. Humility means "the state of being humble." Both it and humble have their origin in the Latin word humilis, meaning "low." Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real. -Thomas Merton Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less. -C. S.

Upstream Thinking is from a book called Upstream the Quest to Solve Problems Before they Happen. Here is excerpt and bio from this amazing book: New York Times bestselling author Dan Heath explores how to prevent problems before they happen, drawing on insights from hundreds of interviews with unconventional problem solvers. So often in life, we get stuck in a cycle of response. We put out fires. We deal with emergencies. We stay downstream, handling one problem after another, but we never make our way upstream to fix the systems that caused the problems. Cops chase robbers, doctors treat patients with chronic illnesses, and call-center reps address customer complaints. But many crimes, chronic illnesses, and customer complaints are preventable. So why do our efforts skew so heavily toward reaction rather than prevention? Upstream probes the psychological forces that push us downstream—including "problem blindness," which can leave us oblivious to serious problems in our midst. And Heath introduces us to the thinkers who have overcome these obstacles and scored massive victories by switching to an upstream mindset. One online travel website prevented twenty million customer service calls every year by making some simple tweaks to its booking system. A major urban school district cut its dropout rate in half after it figured out that it could predict which students would drop out—as early as the ninth grade. A European nation almost eliminated teenage alcohol and drug abuse by deliberately changing the nation's culture. And one EMS system accelerated the emergency-response time of its ambulances by using data to predict where 911 calls would emerge—and forward-deploying its ambulances to stand by in those areas. Upstream delivers practical solutions for preventing problems rather than reacting to them. How many problems in our lives and in society are we tolerating simply because we've forgotten that we can fix them?

How to Stop Being a People Pleaser & Why It's So Bad for You. I was passionate about this episode cause I see so many people that give themselves away so cheaply. They willfully take their limited time and sacrifice to the whims and wants of others. They draw to themselves people that are energy vampires, and time abusers ever playing the victim with shame and fear. Breaking the habits of people pleasing requires courage, commitment, and the ability to put yourself first spiritually, mentally, and physically. To intentionally not allow others to come first. This is a very tough cycle to break, and one that requires extreme self-awareness to break the chains of low self esteem and "I'm not good enough syndrome." We all want to get our self worth externally; after all being disillusioned by the praise and complaints of others is to see our identity through them. This my friend is allot easier then self talk and uber honesty while looking into the mirror of our consciousness. I hope this episode will assist you in first of all believing you can, and second that you have all the tools inside of you to complete the journey. Be powerful! Be True to YOU! Be Your Best!

This is the ABQ Business Podcast with your host Jason Rigby. Each week we interview leading business leaders to inspire the vision and the spirit that is in every entrepreneur. We discuss strengths, weakness, strategies, systems and the problems we can all solve together to fulfill a shared vision of a new future for Small Business. Amazing Inventor Rodney Herrington from Albuquerque. He owns multiple Businesses and is solving a world problem!!! Clean Water! Aqua Research LLC develops innovative water treatment technologies that meet the extreme needs within developing countries and provides sustainable water purification to outdoor enthusiasts, travelers, emergency preppers, first responders, Peace Corps, and the military. Why We Need Sustainable Water Purification Solutions The H2gO Purifier was designed for hikers and campers, travelers, missionaries, Peace Corps volunteers, first responders, disaster relief, and emergency kits. However, our ultimate dream is to provide cost-effective and sustainable water treatment to the people who need it most – those with no access to safe water. Our goal is to help reduce the devastating impact of unsafe water, both physical and financial: 3.3 million people die each year from water-related health problems. [1] Half the hospital beds in the poorest countries are filled with patients with water-related diseases. [2] Women in developing countries walk an average of 3.7 miles to get water, then often carry 50 lbs or more of water on their backs. [1] Poor people living in the slums often pay 5-10 times more for water than wealthy people living in the same city. [3] H2gO is a truly sustainable option for emerging countries, offering no maintenance cost or resupply logistics. The purifier costs $0.50 per YEAR for salt to operate and provide a family 40 liters (10 gallons) of safe water per DAY. It uses a rechargeable cell phone type battery for power and can be recharged by the onboard solar panel or micro USB port – re-charged by just about any cell phone charger, but comes with its own charger. The device is available via retail outlets for about $120 but we discount to qualified non-government organizations (NGOs) to less than $50. Our STREAM system is designed to treat up to 240,000 liters (60,000 gallons per day) for hospitals, orphanages, schools, and small communities in both normal and disaster settings. The STREAM operates on a variety of power sources including 110/220 VAC, and 12 volts DC from a car battery or solar panel. The unit is very robust and comes in a hard plastic waterproof case about the size of a briefcase. Videos of the device are shown on our videos page. By being part of the solution to provide safe water to families in developing nations, we can help people around the world realize their potential: [4] Household water disinfection is the best way to reduce diarrhea and can pay back up to $60 for every $1 invested. Access to safe drinking water and sanitation worldwide would save health agencies $14 billion per year and individuals $680 million. There would be 640 million more productive working days per year, 544 million more school attendance days, and 3 billion more healthy days for children under 5, together representing productivity gains of $19.8 billion a year.

About Paws and Stripes: Paws and Stripes was founded in Rio Rancho in 2010 by Lindsey Kay. Lindsey was motivated by her passion for dogs, love of her country and those who have sacrificed so much to protect it. A veteran family member of Lindsey's suffering from PTSD and TBI motivated her to research multiple organizations, but was unable to pay for service dogs due to the high cost. This inspired the inception of an organization dedicated to providing service dogs at no cost to veterans in order to fill this critical unmet need for veterans. In 2010, Paws and Stripes graduated their first team. By 2012, Paws and Stripes officially integrated a mental health component to its training programs. Since inception almost 10 years ago, Paws and Stripes has served veterans, rescued and rehabilitated shelter dogs as service dogs and refined its mental health programming. In the early days, Paws and Stripes received press and recognition for the unique and much needed programming from Time Magazine, Bark Magazine, Lisa Ling's Our America, Stephen Colbert's Dream Fund, and Tractor Supply Magazine in addition to presenting internationally in Croatia and nationally in New York and at Yale University. In 2014, A&E's docu-series, Dogs of War, featured 5 episodes about Paws and Stripes. In 2017, Paws and Stripes officially moved into a new facility, a generous donation to further its mission in Albuquerque. How To Donate: You as a business can give here I personally also give through Amazon Smile to Paws and Stripes every purchase you do with Amazon then they will donate to them (and it costs you nothing) read more here Please go to www.abqpodcast.com where you can get show notes, resources ,and links to everything we talked about today to help you navigate your journey as an entrepreneur and business owner in ABQ.

With over 25 years' experience in people- and process-optimization, Adam advocates cultural engagement as the largest influencer (lever) of long-term enterprise value. Conversely, he cites leadership waste as the largest negative lever. In 2016, Adam pivoted out of his 20-year corporate (Fortune 500) career to travel (much) of the world with his wife and kids, including a year living and working abroad in Slovakia, and traveling as much of Europe as possible! At depth, Adam is a lifelong learner and educator with a passion for discovering new places, cultures, and ideas, and a commitment to sharing them with those he serves.
