Every good executive knows the importance of a healthy corporate culture, but few have spent much time defining culture.

• Your CULTURE is the CHARACTER of your organization.

• Your CHARACTER is your IDENTITY plus your HABITS.

• Your IDENTITY is the story you tell yourself about yourself.

• Your HABITS are what you do consistently.

[Season 2] Ep. 3 : Best of 2022

Join the Pack as they discuss the various tools, services, and products that have revolutionized their lives this past year.

[Season 2] Ep. 2 : Blind Spots

One of the best parts about running as a pack is the ability to detect blindspots in other members of the pack. In this episode, the Alpha Pack discusses the ways they have called each other out on various details about their lives. And in order to do this effectively, all pack members need to be willing to receive constructive feedback.

[Season 2] Ep. 1 : Life Planning Retreat Retrospective

Welcome to the second season of the Alpha Pack Podcast!

Whether you are a returning listener, or a new member of the pack, we are glad that you are here. Get ready for a new season full of growth, insight, and refinement, as the Alpha Pack shares the concepts and ideas that have been transforming them into better leaders in all spheres of life.

Start with Vision.  

Simon Sinek’s wildly popular TED talk was expanded into a book in 2011. If you have never read Start With Why, I would strongly encourage you to read it or, at a minimum, listen to the TED talk. At the risk of an oversimplification, Simon Sinek argues that great leaders always start by answering the question, “Why?”. Which is why we always start with Vision.

[Season 1 Finale] Ep. 16 : Alphas and Self-Care

Alpha Pack Podcast

Self-Improvement

Don't be fooled: even though you may see alphas achieving high-impact results, what you don't see is their periods of rest that take place behind the scenes. It's not just about working hard -- it's the balance between both working hard and resting that achieves great results. If this balance is out of wack, then everything falls apart.

In today's concluding episode for Season 1, join the Pack as they discuss:

Why making a specific list of what rejuvenates you and what burdens you is vital for your well-being

How healthy stress + healthy rest = maximum output

What the 4 Spheres of Recovery look like

What particular things the Pack has done in their own lives to create effective periods of rest

We hope this episodes inspires you with both practical examples and a powerful framework so that you can maximize your output in life.

Ep. 13: Why Did We Stop Doing Learning Experiences Together – And How Can We Do More?

Is constantly learning new information always necessary?It would be easy to think that learning new information is always advantageous, but the Pack discusses why they stopped attending new conferences to absorb new information. In particular, the Pack discusses the concept of frivolous learning and “brain candy.” Additionally, the Pack does not necessarily always see eye to eye in this episode! They each offer their differing perspectives on what would be considered an essential conference to attend for a new learning experience, as well as which conferences would be considered non-essential.

The Alpha Pack didn't always exist -- but this is due to the fact that it was formed with intention. In today's episode, Daniel, Scott, Jonathan, and Jay discuss why they decided to keep the Alpha Pack small, and how this Pack serves a different purpose than others packs in their lives.

In today's episode, The Pack discusses what "running as a pack" looked like before forming The Alpha Pack. As you will hear, Daniel, Scott, Jonathan, and Jay all had very different experiences with quasi-Alpha Packs during their childhood and young adult years!

Flourishing is multi-dimensional.

True individual flourishing is spiritual, mental, emotional/relational, and physical. Looking at only one or two dimensions is misleading and dangerous. True organizational flourishing encompasses your purpose, processes, people, and profits. Looking just at your top line revenue or bottom-line profits as an indication of your organizational health and effectiveness is an overly simplified and short-sighted perspective. Flourishing leaders know that health and effectiveness (both personally and organizationally) are multi-dimensional.

Three Types of Obstacles

In my work with clients, I’ve seen three types of obstacles; three categories of issues that keep leaders from experiencing the Growth, Satisfaction, and Impact they desire.

Scott has been listening to a new podcast that claimed that “energy” is the single most important quality that all successful people possess. However, does the Alpha Pack agree with this statement? And what does “energy” even mean in this context?

In today’s podcast, the Pack answers questions like, “How do you define ‘energy?’”, “Are there different types of ‘energy?’”, “Is it really that important to have tons of energy as an alpha leader?”, and “How does having your own pack of alphas help to cultivate energy?”

This one concept could be the key to taking your natural abilities to the next level, and achieving success in every area you set your mind to.

How do we become Shalom-makers?

We hope Jay’s story demonstrates the fruit of having strong alpha influences in ones childhood. We also hope his story inspires you to think about how you can influence a future generation of alphas to take hold of each circumstance and change it for the better, just as others did in Jay’s life , and Jay is doing today.

The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr once said, “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” I suggest that the arc of the entire universe – moral, spiritual, physical, and economic – is long, but it bends towards Shalom.

Have you ever thought of yourself as a Shalom-maker?
