    Overwork and burnout – so prevalent in today’s society that over 60% of employees around the globe suffer from workplace stress, creating billions of additional health costs annually. By re-examining how we work and reducing the number of working hours each week, we can greatly reduce this additional stress and financial burden.Dr. Alex Pang is the Global Programs and Research Manager for 4 Day Week Global, a non-profit community advocating the 4-day work week, and the Founder of the Silicon Valley-based consulting company Strategy and Rest. Alex has written books that illustrate how individuals and organizations can integrate rest, creativity, and focus. His latest book is "Shorter: Work Better, Smarter, and Less–Here's How."In today's episode, Cory and Alex talk about the idea of restructuring our overwork and burnout work culture into working fewer hours with more focus and discipline. Alex describes how the future of work can be better if we implement one extra day to rest and recharge.As one of the leading voices in reducing working hours, Alex is optimistic that we can create a future where people can spend more time with family and friends, do healthy activities, discover new hobbies, and ultimately make the world a better place.#WorkWeek #Burnout #Rest ⭐️ SPONSORED BY Saybrook University - https://growensemble.com/saybrook/📄 SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPTVisit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation - https://www.socialentrepreneurship.fm/238/🔗 CONNECT WITH ALEX🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/askpang👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-p-mccrea-1907/📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/askpang/💻 Websites - https://www.strategy.rest/ | https://www.4dayweek.com/🔗 CONNECT WITH CORY🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/AmesCory👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amescory/💻 Website - https://coryames.com/💌 Newsletter - https://coryames.com/newsletter/🔗 CONNECT WITH GROW ENSEMBLE 🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/GrowEnsemble🎥 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GrowEnsemble/💻 Website - https://growensemble.com/💌 Newsletter - https://growensemble.com/newsletter/📚 RESOURCES MENTIONEDStrategy and Rest - https://www.strategy.rest/4 Day Week Global - https://www.4dayweek.com/Institute for the Future - https://www.iftf.org/home/Strategic Business Insights - http://www.strategicbusinessinsights.com/Series A funding information - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/seriesa.aspDefault Mode Network (DMN) information - https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/default-mode-networkDeep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport - https://www.calnewport.com/books/deep-work/Coach Steve Kerr on Twitter - https://twitter.com/stevekerrShorter: Work Better, Smarter, and Less--Here's How by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang - https://bookshop.org/books/shorter-work-better-smarter-and-less-here-s-how/9781541730717Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang - https://bookshop.org/books/rest-why-you-get-more-done-when-you-work-less/9781541617162The Distraction Addiction: Getting the Information You Need and the Communication You Want, Without Enraging Your Family, Annoying Your Colleagues, and Destroying Your Soul by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang - https://www.littlebrown.com/titles/alex-soojung-kim-pang/the-distraction-addiction/9780316208260/The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again by Catherine Price - https://bookshop.org/books/the-power-of-fun-how-to-feel-alive-again/9780593241400The Flexibility Paradox: Why Flexible Working Leads to (Self-)Exploitation by Heejung Chung - https://bookshop.org/books/the-flexibility-paradox-why-flexible-working-leads-to-self-exploitation/9781447354772🎙 ABOUT THE PODCASTThe Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation Podcast (https://www.socialentrepreneurship.fm/) is the #1 podcast for social entrepreneurs and changemakers.

    In any political election—especially major ones, such as the upcoming midterm elections in the United States—it’s important to know where the money to fund various campaigns is coming from. As citizens, we should also understand how that flow of money (both in and out) affects the business community.John McCrea is the National Business Network Manager of American Promise. This organization advocates the 28th Amendment of the Constitution to protect elections from foreign money and special interests, and pursues freedom for all Americans. As a former small business owner, John felt the need to help his fellow entrepreneurs by working with American Promise. He is leveraging his 30+ years of experience working in IT services for small to midsize business owners to help the country to move forward and create a level playing field where all businesses, regardless of size, thrive and bring value to their market.In this episode, John talks us through the conditions we have right now with unrestrained money in political spending, the ongoing issues in the political system, and its impact on the business community. John also shares some updates on the various actions that American Promise takes to cultivate a better future for Americans.#Business #Politics #PoliticalSpending ⭐️ SPONSORED BY Saybrook University - https://growensemble.com/saybrook/📄 SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPTVisit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation - https://www.socialentrepreneurship.fm/237/🔗 CONNECT WITH JOHN🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/JohnPMcCrea👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-p-mccrea-1907/📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/usapromise/💻 Website - https://americanpromise.net/🔗 CONNECT WITH CORY🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/AmesCory👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amescory/💻 Website - https://coryames.com/💌 Newsletter - https://coryames.com/newsletter/🔗 CONNECT WITH GROW ENSEMBLE 🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/GrowEnsemble🎥 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GrowEnsemble/💻 Website - https://growensemble.com/💌 Newsletter - https://growensemble.com/newsletter/📚 RESOURCES MENTIONEDAmerican Promise's "Take Action" petition - https://americanpromise.net/sign-the-pledge/Join the American Promise Business Network - https://americanpromise.net/business-network/Jeff Clements on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-clements/Dr. Jessica Hare on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjessicahare/The $63 billion market cap loss of Disney (blog post) - https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2022/05/03/disney-market-capitalization-tanks-63-billion-since-going-full-woke-in-florida/IBM's political contribution philosophy - https://www.ibm.com/policy/philosophy-and-governance-new/#:~:text=IBM%20does%20not%20espouse%20a,We%20never%20have.Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF - https://www.strategasetfs.com/sagpCorporations Are Not People: Reclaiming Democracy from Big Money and Global Corporations by Jeffrey D.

    The world's hunger crisis continues to worsen, affecting millions of people globally. Most people refer to this problem as a result of climate change, but the reality is that 80% of the problem is caused by soil, and only about 20% by climate change.Roland Bunch is one of the most well-respected thought leaders in regenerative land development and management, having studied and been in the field for 55 years. He is a former member of the UN Millennium Project Task Force on Hunger and a Co-founder of Better Soil, Better Lives. He has published dozens of articles and authored the books "Two Ears of Corn: A Guide to People-Centered Agricultural Improvement" in 1982 and "Restoring the Soil" in 2012.Roland's motto is to imitate the forest. He started an organization and worked with small-holder farmers to do everything they could to mimic a forest-like field and use green manure cover crops to generate more biodiversity.He has worked as a consultant worldwide in over 50 nations on four continents. During his work, Roland recognized the critical issue of hunger for many smallholder farmers, specifically in Sub-Saharan Africa. This led to an investigation into the use of plants for regenerating the soil, now called green manure cover crops.During the conversation, Cory and Roland talk about the changes in farming practices that affect soil fertilization and cause drought and floods in some countries. Roland explains how the green manure cover crops are used to fight hunger, particularly in African villages, the timeline of using this approach, and how it can impact the benefactors of the soil.#Soil #Drought #Hunger ⭐️ SPONSORED BY Saybrook University - https://growensemble.com/saybrook/📄 SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPTVisit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation - https://www.socialentrepreneurship.fm/236/🔗 CONNECT WITH CORY🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/AmesCory👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amescory/💻 Website - https://coryames.com/💌 Newsletter - https://coryames.com/newsletter/🔗 CONNECT WITH GROW ENSEMBLE 🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/GrowEnsemble🎥 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GrowEnsemble/💻 Website - https://growensemble.com/💌 Newsletter - https://growensemble.com/newsletter/📚 RESOURCES MENTIONEDRestoring the Soil by Roland Bunch - https://www.echobooks.net/restoring-the-soil.htmlTwo Ears of Corn: A Guide to People-Centered Agricultural Improvement by Roland Bunch - https://www.amazon.com/Two-Ears-Corn-People-Centered-Agricultural/dp/B000K0GL8KGabe Brown of Brown’s Ranch - http://brownsranch.us/🎙 ABOUT THE PODCASTThe Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation Podcast (https://www.socialentrepreneurship.fm/) is the #1 podcast for social entrepreneurs and changemakers.

    Whether a fatty snack or nutritious meal, all the food we consume has a massive impact on our bodies. That’s why it’s important that we have access to foods that are safe, nutritious, affordable, and, ideally, work in harmony with the environment.Paul Greive is an accountant, marine veteran, family man, and founder of Pasturebird. Pasturebird is one of the largest pastured poultry producers in the US that uses regenerative farming and provides people with more nutritious meat that comes from a more natural environment. This accountant-turned-farmer believes everyone should have access to ethically-produced, nutritious food, which is why it has been a true joy for him to be one of the people pushing forward and re-inventing a new-old way of farming.In this episode, Cory and Paul talk about the journey of building Pasturebird over a decade. Paul shares his life in the military, his battle with Lyme disease, and starting a pasture-poultry farm business with only 50 chicks, to raising millions of chickens without using a single antibiotic or drug. Paul addresses the problems in the food industry and the future of farming with the regenerative agriculture movement.#ChickenFarming #RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableFarming ⭐️ SPONSORED BY Saybrook University - https://growensemble.com/saybrook/📄SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPTVisit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation - https://www.socialentrepreneurship.fm/234/🔗 CONNECT WITH PAUL👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulgreive/📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/pasturebird/💻 Website - https://www.pasturebird.com/🔗 CONNECT WITH CORY🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/AmesCory👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amescory/💻 Website - https://coryames.com/💌 Newsletter - https://coryames.com/newsletter/🔗 CONNECT WITH GROW ENSEMBLE 🎥 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GrowEnsemble/🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/GrowEnsemble💻 Website - https://growensemble.com/💌 Newsletter - https://growensemble.com/newsletter/📚 RESOURCES MENTIONEDGabe Brown of Brown’s Ranch - http://brownsranch.us/Allan Savory of Savory Institute - https://savory.global/Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms - https://www.polyfacefarms.com/joels-bio/G.A.P. certified meat - https://globalanimalpartnership.org/Patagonia - https://www.patagonia.com/White Oak Pastures - https://whiteoakpastures.com/Perdue Farms - https://corporate.perduefarms.com/Ryan Perdue on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-perdue-3535a61a/Primal Pastures - https://primalpastures.com/Niman Ranch - https://www.nimanranch.com/Panorama Meats - https://panoramameats.com/Kiss the Ground documentary - https://kissthegroundmovie.com/🎙 ABOUT THE PODCASTThe Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation Podcast (https://www.socialentrepreneurship.fm/) is the #1 podcast for social entrepreneurs and changemakers.
