Courtney Smith, founder of the Investment Mentoring Institute, joins me this week for a spirited discussion of money, values, and the creation of abundance in modern culture. Money is a vital topic – we earn it, lose it, hoard it, need it, but what is it? If you ask Courtney he’s likely to tell you that money is energy. It obeys the laws of energy. It’s the outcome when you learn to see, create, and invest in value. Ask a shaman and he’ll say money is Spirit’s gift to us, to use as our modern exchange medium. Lacking a barter economy, something has to change hands when we sell our services, or purchase someone else’s goods. That ‘something’ in our day and age is money. This is simply an expression of the law of complementarities, one of the organizing principles that fuels creation, growth, and fluid abundance. This suggests that money and consciousness are inextricably linked, and our success with money rises in direct proportion to our state of awakened value. Tune in to learn more!

Jeff Marcous, 2010 Green Business Leader of the Year and President of Dharma Merchant Services, joins me this week for a powerful investigation of what it means to be awake in the world of business. If business is, as we proposed last week, a source point for the creation, exchange, and delivery of value, how does being ‘awake’ help us create a successful business? What’s love got to do with it? Do we ‘dis’ respect in the name of competition? Can one business owner or corporate team member really make a difference? If you’re awake in business, you’re in love – with process, relationship, and the creation of value for the betterment of everyone. Being ‘awake’ means experiencing, relating, innovating, and taking action for the express purpose of generating value and collective abundance. It means allowing compassion and respect to craft your pathways to success. Join us to discover how great a difference you can make, and how much you can benefit, by coming fully awake in work and life.

Do you ever feel ‘talked at’ rather than directly included when you hear phrases such as ‘psychosocial infrastructure’ or ‘complex adaptive system’? I hope your answer is yes! Especially in business, we still tend to value using dry, impersonal language that squeezes the light and passion right out of our inspired ideas. There are many insights rising in today’s world – insights into leadership, the character of successful organizations, innovation, value, and profit. The most exciting of these are shining a bright light on the true value of people and the limitless power of human imagination. This in turn is giving rise to new models of leadership, distributed within an organization to steward creativity into action, producing products and services unparalleled in quality and value. This week we’ll investigate a surprising new trio of organizing principles that take us to the heart of collective technologies, empowered leadership, and success. Tune in, call in, join the dialogue!
