What if you could redefine who you are after a significant loss of personal identity? Our latest episode features a riveting conversation with Michael Herst, a former law enforcement officer who spent the better part of two decades protecting and serving. Now, he's using his voice in a whole new way, sharing his journey and insights through the power of podcasting.

Coming from a challenging background, Michael Herst shares his personal exploration of resilience and purpose. He recounts his time in law enforcement, working on various task forces, and maintaining a precarious balance between career and family. Later, a life-altering injury led him down a path of rediscovery, where he found strength in his family's love and support and an inspiring moment with his daughter. Drawing parallels to The Hero with a Thousand Faces, we explore the universal journey of transformation that defines our human experience.

As we move deeper into our discussion, we discover how podcasting has served as a therapeutic medium for Michael. Known for his One More Thing Before You Go podcast, he discusses the importance of communication and the power it holds in forming meaningful relationships. Not one to shy away from deep conversations, he encourages us to ditch our phones for a while and engage in dialogue that truly matters. As we wrap up our episode, we express our heartfelt gratitude to our listeners and show partners. Don't forget, new episodes air every Monday at 9 am Eastern Standard Time. Tune in, and let's continue to learn, grow, and engage in meaningful conversations.

Music weaves through the fabric of our lives, stitching together memories and emotions that define who we are. Join me, Josh Porthouse, and the insightful Jesse Jackson from Set Lusting Bruce, as we unpack the melodies that escort us back to defining moments, fostering a sense of belonging that resonates deep within. From the rhythm that ties us to our past, to the tunes that soundtrack our present, we consider how music shapes our connections and echoes the core values of collaboration and belonging.

Values and personal growth take the spotlight as I reflect on my upbringing within a military family and its influence on my leadership and life's principles. Jesse and I examine the importance of setting clear expectations and informed consent, drawing parallels to Kenneth Dobson's parenting wisdom and how these concepts translate into our professional lives. Sharing candid anecdotes, we explore the necessity of humility and the profound impact of acknowledging our missteps, embracing the transformative power of admitting when we're wrong, and the growth that comes from such honesty.

Lastly, we address the challenge of maintaining positivity and self-reliance amidst life's tumultuous transitions. We delve into the tension between the comfort of feeling right and the courage it takes to confront potential wrongs, touching on personal conflicts and professional uncertainties. From the battlefield of military deployment to the battlefield of daily life, we share strategies for confronting change with a realistic and adaptable mindset. As we close, we express our heartfelt appreciation to our listeners, inviting you to continue this journey with us, as we collectively navigate and celebrate the evolving values that make up the soundtrack of our lives.

Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 4, Episode 46 on Transacting Value!

Today we're discussing the inherent but underrated November core values of Gratitude, Appreciation, and Resilience as strategies for character discipline and relative success, with the "dean" of Family Business, Tom Hubler.  If you are new to the podcast, welcome! If you're a continuing listener, welcome back!

Do you ever wonder how the nuances of our family lives impact our perspectives and decision-making? Tom, a respected author, speaker, and the dean of Family Business Consulting, shares his wealth of knowledge in family relationships and personal growth.

We delve into the differences between the family of origin and family of creation, and the influence these can have on our life choices. Tom also shares his insights into the delicate balance of maintaining unity in a family business while respecting individual pursuits. Together, we uncover strategies to foster an atmosphere of mutual respect, encouraging the unique creation of ideas from combined perspectives. We also highlight the importance of teaching our children to adopt values and empathetic behaviors, incentivizing them to perceive value in all aspects of life.

As we wrap up our discussion, we reflect on the role of family rituals and traditions in preserving family connections, despite the pursuit of personal interests. Tom sheds light on how these practices can adapt to suit shifting family dynamics, particularly during times of loss or change. Join us as we unpack the essence of family unity, the equilibrium between individual and family interests, and the significance of understanding and valuing each other.
