Best-selling business author and speaker Tom Peters joins us on the show today, to discuss his latest book, The Excellence Dividend. Click here for the show transcript! Discussion guide for my conversation with Tom Peters: Hasn’t everything about doing good, quality work already been said by all authors and business gurus? Why was this book necessary? So, what is the Excellence Dividend, exactly? One of the goals of the book is to discuss and understand the impact of technology on business, but more importantly, to remember what humans can (and always will) do better than a machine, correct? You talk about EXCELLENCE. Do we ever truly arrive there? Or is the lifelong pursuit of excellence the true mission, the real point to the effort? “Business IS the community.” One of the most profound weaknesses of most people in business is their inability to LISTEN. With social media, technology, media, and all the noise, listening is even harder these days. We discuss at length how strength and influence comes with true listening. In the book, there is an important discussion about joy, and that most people in their work are joyless. We discuss why joy matters, who is responsible for bringing joy to the workplace, and how being joyful inspires creativity and innovation. Speaking of innovation, Tom and I have an important dialog about not only what innovation truly is, but how you do it. And while most of us overcomplicate, Tom explains how to do it successfully. And it’s just a matter of rolling up your sleeves and trying things. To wrap the conversation, Tom shares advice on how to adopt the “Excellence Now” philosophy, and how to begin to embed the principles of his book into both our lives and our organizations. Not by sharing a memo, but by building this new culture one person at a time. You can find Tom Peters’ book right here! Who is Tom Peters? Tom Peters is coauthor of In Search of Excellence—the book that changed the way the world does business, and often tagged as the best business book ever. Seventeen books and thirty-five years later, he’s still at the forefront of the “management guru industry” he single-handedly invented. What’s new? A lot. As CNN said, “While most business gurus milk the same mantra for all its worth, the one-man brand called Tom Peters is still reinventing himself.” His most recent effort is The Excellence Dividend: Meeting the Tech Tide with Work that Wows and Jobs that Last (Vintage, 2018). Tom’s bedrock belief: “Execution is strategy—it’s all about the people and the doing, not the talking and the theory.” In November 2017, Tom received the Thinkers50 Lifetime Achievement Award. ###

#MusicStrong podcast [42 minutes] I met Keith Boyer many years ago. I was a shy pre-teen girl, not quite ready to flirt or even know what that meant. I was naive enough to ride a new but already beloved skateboard to school, which was promptly stolen. We barely know ourselves at 10- or 11-years old, how could we possibly know who would be a lifelong friend, worthy of our hearts? Keith was a shy and goofy pre-teen boy and we shared a playground, a few classes, some good times, and many, many friends. I cherish his signature in my yearbook... It wasn't until years later, over forty years later, that I grew to love Keith and his gentle and easy nature. He made you feel like you were his best friend and that he would do anything for you. That was his way. In his adult life, Keith was a law enforcement officer and a really good man - I can say that he is easily one of the best people I have ever known in my life. In his youth and throughout his adult life, Keith was a percussionist. He was a drummer who loved to drum. The moment I saw the Be a Mr. Jensen video, I thought of Keith. He was the best for the world.  On February 20, 2017 - Keith posted a Happy Birthday comment on Facebook to my daughter and then he went to work as a Police Officer and I went to work as a Marketing Executive. When I checked back in on FB after a meeting, I saw many sad messages from several friends - Keith had been shot and killed in the line of duty. A devastating loss to the community of Whittier, CA. A devastating loss to the 1981 Class of La Serna High School. A devastating loss to Keith's family and all of his friends. **Concert: La Mirada February 17th, 2018, 7:30pm La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts 14900 La Mirada Blvd, La Mirada, California 90638 TICKETS Nearly a year later, I still fight back the tears and struggle whenever I speak of him. Recently,  I was able to speak with Jeff McNeal from Mrs. Jones' Revenge, the band Keith played with, and Jan Edwards, a La Serna High School Classmate and dear friend of Keith's, about a concert on February 17th to benefit s scholarship fund created in Keith's Memory. In this day and age of strained law enforcement relations, it has been joyful to see a community recognize the goodness in this man and get behind his family and his memory.

Joined, on the New Business Mindset podcast, by Tommy Breedlove, the Founder and Chief Goodness Provider of Choose Goodness. You can learn more about Tommy below. Discussion guide from today’s conversation with Tommy Breedlove: 1. Are you missing significance? 2. Many business leaders get to a place where they might have financial success, but otherwise no meaning, no joy, and no truth in their lives. 3. “Unconscious living.” 4. How to go through a personal journey of self-discovery. What is the feeling inside? 5. Forget the idea that “it’s not personal, it’s business.” No, IT IS ALL PERSONAL! 6. “Don’t lose your humanity, for the profitability.” 7. You are allowed to have different evolutions in your life. You are allowed to make a decision to change direction and go down a different path. 8. The power of choice. You have power, because you can make choices. 9. Scarcity vs. abundance mindsets. 10. Taking a personal inventory. This episode was originally published on Gareth Young’s podcast, A New Business Mindset! About Tommy Breedlove: Tommy founded the Choose Goodness movement to help individuals, leaders and organizations increase their positive impact on the world while gaining meaning and attaining financial success. Tommy Chose to leave a lucrative international financial consulting career to create the Choose Goodness movement. At the time, he had achieved financial success and gained business notoriety and prestige. However, Tommy felt unfulfilled and had lost meaning and hope in his life. For 36 years, he felt he did not have permission to Choose, and the Choices he made were out of fear and the judgements of others instead of Goodness. Prior to founding Choose Goodness, Tommy was on the Board of Directors, a shareholder, and the International Practice Leader for a large financial consulting and advisory firm where he advised large international and domestic companies on financial and operational strategies. Tommy and his international practice team won the 2012 Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce Global Impact Award. Tommy enjoys traveling, reading, experiencing new cultures and food, continuous learning, all things outdoors, and strives each day to put his positive mark on the world. He and his wife, Heather (aka Mrs. Goodness), live in Atlanta with two adorable four-legged children. ### The post Tommy Breedlove: You have a choice.
