100. Why Performance-First Cultures Are Crushing Your Team — And What to Do Instead with Scott Doggett

<p>What do you see when you look at the people on your team?</p><p>If you're honest, you might catch yourself labeling them — the top performer, the problem employee, the one who just doesn't get it.</p><p>But what if the way you see your people is the very thing holding your business back?</p><p>Scott Doggett spent decades leading in the hospitality industry before two unexpected layoffs sent him into a wilderness season that changed everything.</p><p>Through that journey, God used him to build a movement — <strong>the National Academy of Leadership Development </strong>— that is helping organizations rediscover the forgotten power of servant leadership.</p><p>Join us as Scott shares why performance-first cultures are quietly crushing morale, what it actually looks like to lead the way Jesus led, and how seeing people as priceless — not as job titles or productivity scores — can transform your team and your bottom line.</p><p></p><p><strong>Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:</strong></p><p><strong>How can we honor God in our business?</strong></p><p>Start by seeing every person on your team the way Jesus saw people — as priceless, regardless of rank, title, or performance. When you lead from that foundation, everything else — culture, engagement, results — begins to follow.</p><p></p><p><strong>One challenge from today: </strong>This week, take five minutes to learn one thing about the story behind one of your employees.

99. How to Trust God When Your Career Falls Apart: Faith, Fuel Efficiency, and Starting Over with Brian Livingston

<p>Starting a business isn't the LinkedIn highlight reel everyone makes it look like.</p><p>There's real heartache, real fear, and real moments where you wonder if you made the right call. But what if those hard times were actually the point?</p><p>Brian Livingston spent nearly 20 years as a chemical engineer at Caterpillar before being laid off during COVID alongside with 4,000 others.</p><p>Instead of landing safely back in corporate America, God led him somewhere unexpected — a copper tube that's changing the diesel industry.</p><p>Brian now runs Zell Cam and helps heavy equipment operators reduce fuel costs and carbon emissions through a simple, off-the-shelf technology that pays for itself in months.</p><p>Join us as Brian shares how losing his job became one of the best things that ever happened to him, why faith in God's sovereignty is the only thing that gets you through the gut punch of unemployment, and how his engineering background gave him the credibility to confidently step into something brand new.</p><p></p><p><strong>Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:</strong></p><p><strong>How can we honor God in our business?</strong></p><p>Brian's answer is simple: <strong>Don't separate your faith from your work</strong>. Your identity is follower of Jesus first — and everything else comes after that. Show up to your business as a whole person who belongs to God, not a professional who happens to go to church.</p><p></p><p><strong>One challenge from today: </strong>Start small. If you've been waiting to build a deeper prayer or Bible reading habit, don't wait for the perfect hour-long routine. Open your Bible for five minutes today. Celebrate that. Tomorrow, do it again.</p><p></p><p><strong><u>More About Brian Livingston</u></strong></p><p>Website: <u><a href="https://www.decarbonize5.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.decarbonize5.com/</a></u></p><p></p><p><strong><u>More About David Schmidt</u></strong></p><p>Free Resource: <a href="https://1440-dads-39878308.hubspotpagebuilder.com/what-god-says-about-business?hs_preview=iLezMBfT-199534105674" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern Business</a></p><p>Subscribe to the <a href="https://share.hsforms.com/1r-blSdjgSSmhrHNQyxKQtAnqqas" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">RBT Weekly Newsletter</a> for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.</p><p>Newsletter also comes with <strong>Bible verses for business success</strong> for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.</p>

98. How to Build Leaders Worth Following: Mentorship, Character, and Owning Your Mistakes with Earl Morrison

<p>You've poured yourself into your business, your team, your leadership — but have you ever stopped to ask whether you're doing it alone?</p><p>And more importantly, are you letting someone truly speak into your life, not just coach you through a moment?</p><p>Earl Morrison spent over 32 years in law enforcement and seven years as a police chief in Oklahoma. </p><p>After losing what he and his wife thought was their dream job to political winds, Earl did something most of us resist: he stopped, reflected, and let God use the adversity to shape him into a mentor for others.</p><p>That journey led him to write his book <u>Leadership Lessons Learned</u> and build his company, Leading and Learning with Character.</p><p>Join David and Earl as they unpack what mentorship actually is — and why it's different from coaching or discipleship — and why our pride is the #1 thing standing between us and the growth we desperately need.</p><p></p><p><strong>Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:</strong></p><p><strong>How can we honor God in our business?</strong></p><p>Mentoring others is one of the most tangible ways to reflect God's investment in us. When we pour into someone else's growth — not just their skills, but their character — we're living out the kind of discipleship Paul describes in 2 Timothy 2:2. It's not a program. It's a relationship.</p><p></p><p><strong>One challenge from today</strong>: Find one person you trust enough to speak truth into your life — and give them permission to do it. Don't wait until you have it all figured out. That's the pride talking.</p><p></p><p><strong><u>More About Earl Morrison</u></strong></p><p>Website:<u><a href="https://earlmorrison.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://earlmorrison.com/</a></u></p><p>Books:</p><p><a href="https://earlmorrison.com/leadership-books/ols/products/leadership-lessons-learned" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Leadership Lessons Learned </a></p><p><a href="https://earlmorrison.com/leadership-books/ols/products/mentoringforlife" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mentoring for Life</a></p><p><a href="https://earlmorrison.com/leadership-books/ols/products/closing-the-gap-by-building-bridges-for-organizational-and-personal-success" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Closing the Gap</a></p><p></p><p><strong><u>More About David Schmidt</u></strong></p><p>Free Resource: <a href="https://1440-dads-39878308.hubspotpagebuilder.com/what-god-says-about-business?hs_preview=iLezMBfT-199534105674" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What God Says About Business: 5 Uncommon Truths for the Modern Business</a></p><p>Subscribe to the <a href="https://share.hsforms.com/1r-blSdjgSSmhrHNQyxKQtAnqqas" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">RBT Weekly Newsletter</a> for weekly simple, practical, and Biblical steps to help you build a thriving business in a way that honors God.</p><p>Newsletter also comes with <strong>Bible verses for business success</strong> for you to read, apply, and be inspired by.</p>
