How do we create great companies that make a difference? How do companies take an expanded view of their stakeholders and define mission statements that succeed in today’s shifting economy? What does it take for an organization to succeed and be sustainable over time? And how does one find opportunity amidst major life disruptions, like the pandemic, which has taken a major toll on the economy and small businesses?
In this episode, Mark Monchek shares how he went through a spiritual awakening at the time of the Great Recession, and experienced theft from his company which led to a depression resulting in him getting treatment and feeling a deep sense of gratitude and opportunity. As he recounts in his Amazon bestselling book, doing this reflection led him to notice what companies that succeeded during this time were doing differently. His strategic consulting firm offers a variety of tools to help businesses cope with disruption, adapt to changes, and succeed in any economy.
Mark has spent a large part of his life supporting others, specifically companies that rebuilt after 9/11, university students and social enterprises.

In this episode, host Sean Riley sits down with Mat Mahboub, on behalf of Gary Mahboub, founder of Friends of the Fatherless, an international charitable organization which partners with and provides education to orphanage directors around the globe, encouraging them at an annual orphanage directors conference and supports their efforts to save these innocent and vulnerable children with no other foreseeable path to a stable home.

This interview dives into what lessons can be learned from those in poverty, what Mat has learned about the orphan crisis, what practical steps he takes to enhance his daily life, and a little bit about his personal side.

12. MLK Day of Service, 6 Steps of Nonviolent Social Change, and the Beloved Community
How Are You Helping?
01/19/21 • 7 min
Today is January 18th, 2021, the 35th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day federal holiday. In 1994, congress established the MLK federal holiday to be a national day of service to continue Dr. King’s dream of communities rooted in freedom, justice, equality, and peace.
As we honor and remember the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, pastor and social justice campaigner and his wife, Coretta Scott King, the author, activist and civil rights leader, host Sean Riley explores his words as useful leadership lessons that every non-profit, impact-driven leader, corporate professional or anyone in a leadership position can use to move towards peace and justice for all.
Originally by the philosopher and theologian Josiah Royce, Dr. King popularized the term "Beloved Community." The Beloved Community is a global vision in which people can share in the wealth of the earth. "In the Beloved Community, poverty, hunger and homelessness will not be tolerated because international standards of human decency will not allow it." - TheKingCenter.org.
This episode contains clips from Dr. King's last Christmas sermon "A Christmas Sermon On Peace," originally delivered on December 24, 1967 at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia which prophetically presents his long-term vision of nonviolence as a path toward world peace.
In this episode, Host Sean Riley outlines the "Six Steps of Nonviolent Social Change" from The King Center, part of Dr. King's work to emphasize love in action and to help get us closer to that Beloved Community that Dr. King revered.
