"If you haven't walked away different then why did you go?"

-Phil Mershon Director of Experience

When you have a "culture of service" you are focussed on creating the best experience for your Guest (customer, employee, client, patient..) And Phil Mershon is leading in creating transformational experiences.

I think we need to think of the daily work more as an experience that we are creating. Entrepreneurs, Corporate Executives, Leaders-- we are all trying to convey a message and doing that by creating a great experience is a way to deliver Value. Phil writes in his book Unforgettableabout this opportunity. We can all deliver better for customers/clients/employees if we concentrate on a quality and memorable experience.

"I asked myself, how can I flip capitalism and our financial system to work for me?"

-Jonathan Roper, Entrepreneur

When you get a chance to hear a Founder/Entrepreneur talk about the process followed to create opportunities, it is a rare moment of transparency. We may hear about the difficulties, hard work and persistence and we will never quite understand that grind.

Jonathan Roper gives us a glimpse into his process from lost and panicked to taking action and creating the life he knew he could for his family and for those he collaborates with as an Entrepreneur.

You can create something that has never been done or you can work at something harder than most but the bottom line is you must create Value. Jonathan thinks about creating Value for Customers, Partners, Employees and the Community with every opportunity he pursues.

"When they [endocannabinoid system] line up better, your body is working more efficiently and you feel better."

-Sheldon Coleman, CEO AdvenTrue

In part II of our discussion with Sheldon Coleman we have a refined dialogue around Hemp and the scientific processes that take place at AdvenTrue to create the wellness products they procure. Cannabis is the plant and Hemp is a species of that plant from which a myriad of cannabinoids can be derived.

CBD, CBN,CBG... all of this can be confusing and confusion means people are not engaging with Hemp wellness products that can potentially solve ailments. Sheldon and his team study this plant and through their vigorous research and development AdvenTrue refines natural solutions. With more research, the promise of solutions that meet people's expectations occur. Lives are positively impacted. Let's learn more so we can take action for healthier outcomes.

"Learn to not carry the burden of the fear of failure."

-Steven Werner, CEO Lawn Buddy/Blue Ox

It is my experience that entrepreneurs and Founders are slightly different. The difference is in the pursuit. All entrepreneurs have grit and determination. They figure out a way. The Founder pursues the idea, the business like their life depended on it. We can all learn from Founders but there is a good chance we won't all understand Founders. "You have to put yourself in situations to do hard things," Steven extols.

Steven Werner is an entrepreneur. Steven is a Founder and he shares why he has such reverence for this pursuit.

"What can we do to remove those barrier? ...to put that money directly in control of the parents."

--James Franko on Education Savings Accounts and school choice.

It is logical that we all learn differently and that means we all need options for learning. When it comes to school and the development of kids it is important to provide meaningful choices for parents to help educate their child. The Kansas Policy Institute has studied this issue and helped create solutions so that more kids have access to learn and develop. Legacy Institutions should be a choice but it cannot be the only choice. That is not logical. Lets give parents and kids more opportunity to learn and the resources they need to do it.

"Provision means: For the Vision. If we don't have Vison, how do we expect Provision?"

-Jason Toevs, Entrepreneur

Artificial General Intelligence is the most compelling technology of my lifetime. So why does something with such incredible promise and opportunity scare so many people? ai is both promising and terrifying at the same time because human being have the capacity to do extraordinary things at the same time human being have the capacity to do horrible things. This is the paradox of humanity.

Jason Toevs is the successful Entrepreneur with whom to have this discussion. He has created/Founded/CEOed multiple companies and that is hard to do. It takes incredible discipline and good judgement. Artificial Intelligence has spectacular applications that will advance human potential. The application of it, the vision of it, takes good judgment. The world is full of people with varying degrees of judgement and discipline. ai is amongst us and it is not going back in the bottle. So tell us Jason Toevs, how do we positively transform society using Artificial Intelligence knowing the paradox of being human?
