In this episode of the Compendium Podcast, host Joseph Baker interviews Author Tina
Ruffin.

Tina is the author of the successful book "Oh Really, Embracing the Really Moments of
Life", and inspires individuals on how to create a purposeful and meaningful life by embracing the next version of themselves.

Author, Tina Ruffin, offers an in-season message of hope, self-awareness and selfdiscovery
by sharing her own personal journey of how one major event coupled with a series of other events, forced her to say “Oh Really”, and learn to embrace those moments. The really moments of life are those moments that leave you wondering, depleted, frustrated, and empty. These moments also serve as a launching pad. The “really” moments are designed to pull up and pluck out the weeds of life all while promoting growth. The book takes you on a personal treasure hunt, thereby illuminating your world through self-actualization, and discovering hidden jewels which have laid dormant for years. The “really” moments create the cocoon necessary for your metamorphosis, and thus a butterfly is born.

In this episode of the Compendium Podcast, host Joseph Baker interviews Chuck
Gallagher.

You may have seen Chuck on television, or heard him on CNN, CBS or NPR radio programs. His business insights are sought after for his strong position on ethics and ethical leadership. Chuck’s focus is business—but his passion is empowering others. His unique business ethics presentations clearly demonstrate he brings something to the platform that isn’t often found in typical business ethics speakers.

Chuck’s personal experience in building businesses and sales teams while leading companies provides a practical and powerful framework for ethical success. Currently Vice President of a national public company and former Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing for a public company, Chuck may have found a sales niche early on in life selling potholders door to door, or convincing folks to fund a record album of his musical performance at age 16 (and yes those were the days when an album was made of vinyl), but it was the school of hard knocks that provided a fertile training ground for Chuck’s lessons in success. Described as creative, insightful, captivating, and a person that “connects the dots” between behavior, choices and success, Chuck gives his clients what they need to turn concepts into actions and actions into results.
