If you're looking for an inspiring, thought provoking conversation to lift your day, this is the podcast for you!

How can words describe the fabulous opportunity to share the mic with the amazing leadership guru, Alain Hunkins, author of "Cracking the Leadership Code: Three Secrets to Building Strong Leaders. What was so wonderful was to listen to how one man's kind act to Alain has impacted the rest of his career and inspired him to become the inspiring, empathetic leadership advocate he's become. 

It was truly an honor for Randy McNeely - Captain Kindman and Elia Gourgouris to converse with Alain and find out more about what makes him tick both as a leader and a fascinating, caring human being.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • How one man's kind act influenced Alain so powerfully that it has impacted the trajectory of the rest of his life
  • What commitment Alain made life on our podcast to do by the end of the year
  • How the right questions can qualify people and inspire them to go and do great things
  • How we can borrow someone else's belief in ourselves to grow in our personal confidence until we have the same kind of belief
  • How it is possible to be competent and still ask for help
  • How asking other people how they see us can help us improve

And so much more.

Three pearls of wisdom:

  1. Don't wait to give kindness - Let those you love know you love them.
  2. Think of every day as a blank canvas and when you get up  set an intention as to how to paint a picture of kindness.
  3. At the end of the day reflect on and celebrate the moments of kindness you had that day.


Take a listen. You'll be glad you did.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
