Episode 20: The Mindful Story Behind Mindful Leader, Part 2
Monday Feb 05, 2024
Monday Feb 05, 2024
This is part 2 of Mindful Leader Episode 19. Link to part 1 is HERE. These two podcasts were recorded in one session and were released on January 29th, 2024 and February 5th, 2024.
My original plan in October was to use a Fifth Monday to have my friend John Plant interview me. John has been a faithful listener to my early Podcast work. The events of October 7th altered that plan. John and I thus jointly produced a conversation on Israel, Gaza, and what was going on in October.
This podcast is thus the delayed October Podcast.
My good friend John Plant is a retired US Army Colonel. He is a graduate of the University of Toledo with a BA in Political Science and an MA in Public Administration. Further, he has a PhD from the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. He lives in North Carolina and is a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. His LinkedIn account is HERE. We talk weekly.
Between the two of us, John and I have over 50 years of military service, a laboratory of leadership development.

My guest for the Podcast to be released on February 19th is Gayla Jo Slauson, A Lay Delegate to General Conference in Charlotte, NC.

Episode 18: Mindful History from Pastor France Davis
Monday Jan 15, 2024
Monday Jan 15, 2024
Our guest today is Pastor France Davis, a mighty force for God, Jesus and the church in Utah.
My introduction to Pastor France Davis of Calvary Baptist Church occurred very early in my time in Utah. He is the embodiment of encouragement and hospitality.
Our discussion today is intended to help church leaders with thoughts from the perspective of a Black Pastoral Leader on Black History. (February is Black History Month.)
Pastor Davis' resume is extensive. I cover some in the podcast and pointed to here in the notes for his degrees. Pastor Davis has degrees from Laney College (1971), Merritt College (1972), University of California (1972), Westminster College (1977), University of Utah (1978) and Northwest Nazarene (1994).
