Our guest Jacob Talbot is Managing Partner of “SixthDivision” and a grief counselor, along with being a husband, father, author and hobbyist.
SixthDivision helps small businesses succeed, by helping them master marketing tools and other elements key to business success, AND a good life. Their technical expertise creates an opportunity to do some sophisticated leadership coaching, measured at least partially by improvements in their clients revenues.
We learned what some of this coaching could look like as Jacob described how his organization operates. How they hire and onboard people to ensure they won’t have to fire anyone. How they take care of each other whenever someone is dealing with health or other distracting issues. How they operate on trust and have a simple set of values that they help each other really live by. Not to mention a lot of fun “shiny” benefits they share with their employees (e.g. massage Fridays!).
Jacob’s leadership and coaching are informed by his other vocation of grief recovery counselor. And his story of how he got into this and how he works with his clients leads to another of his big ideas - “The Giver Method”, which is about developing your gifts into superpowers and offering them to others without asking for anything in return (because the Univers will always pay you back). Jacob’s book of that title will be coming out soon.
You can learn more about Jacob and his passions at SixthDivision.com, AZGriefREcovery.com, TheGiverMethod.com and you will also likely find him by searching “Jake the Comic”.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
