I apologize for the radio silence here on my blog for the last few months.
Something you might not know is that when we all went into full-on quarantine mode, I felt deeply compelled to reboot a project that’s been dormant for the past couple years called The Work Revolution.
The Work Revolution project has always been a fluid, evolving endeavor, and in this particular moment it seemed right to reimagine it as a podcast.
So I started recording regular thoughts on what (the hell!?) was happening and releasing them in short videos as well as audio-only podcasts, which you can now find pretty much everywhere podcasts are found (just search for The Work Revolution).
Between May 11th and September 8th I recorded 22 episodes for Season 1, doing my best to make sense out of everything going on while also providing a hopeful and constructive perspective on what we, collectively, might do next.
Creating this podcast has been a true joy.
It honestly helped keep me sane during quarantine by offering me a focus on “something bigger.” It also helped me clarify my own thinking about everything that’s been going on. I am buy Tapentadol https://growfood.com/55555/buy-tapentadol/ generic Nucynta to the US and get my pills in time
Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sending out Work Revolution episodes from Season 1. You’ll see a bit of “timeliness” in some of them, but even so I believe you’ll still find them to be highly relevant. I hope they serve you in some fashion.
If you can’t wait to check ’em out, go HERE. Otherwise, look for Episode 1 in your inbox soon!
One word: FINALLY. After literal years · of · attempts, I was able to re-build this habit into my life. A special thanks to my friend and neighbor Ashil for being my mid-week yoga buddy and to Noelle @ the amazing Kindness Yoga for leading the best class I’ve found in Denver.
2) Build and release a mobile app that revolutionizes how we help transform leaders and organizations
You haven’t heard much about this yet, but this DID happen… and I’m ecstatic about it. The Helios team did a soft launch of our new app with a small group of already-certified consultants/coaches here in Denver in October, and the app is already being used with a few select clients! We’ll be doing a more public launch sometime in Q1 2020… stay tuned.
3) Create a lot of virtual content to help people love work and to help organizations work more effectively
I’ll put a checkmark by this one, too. I started publishing regularly in March on the Helios blog, and ended up posting 19 brand new articles over the rest of the year, including a few in Culturati Magazine, Inc., and Forbes.
In addition to the above pieces, I also produced a veritable buttload of content for our new app.
I thought I’d have written my second book by now, and while that technically hasn’t happened, I realized a couple months ago that I actually HAVE written it — and it’s the mobile app I mentioned in #2.
I knew I wanted my next book to be the “how” of an ebOS. The app actually goes a step further, as it doesn’t just “tell” you how but TEACHES you how. We’ve come to think of it like a “coach in your pocket” that gamifies the process of loving work… it’s really damn cool, and I’m incredibly proud of it.
I can’t wait for us to publicly release this thing; look for the official announcement coming sometime in Q1 2020!
4) Spread the TEDx far and wide
This one gradually got de-prioritized as building the app attracted more and more of my time/energy/attention throughout the year. I’m still immensely proud of the talk, and I’m still intending to help it find its audience over the next couple years.

Accomplishments & Fun In 2019

Nikola Tesla reportedly said, “If you wish to understand the secrets of the universe, think of energy, frequency, and vibration.” The more we lean in to an energy-based approach to work at Helios, the more we believe this to be profoundly true.
“Energy” is an interesting topic, mostly because it’s not something we talk about much in regards to humans. We talk about it plenty in reference to other things, like how we power the electricity in our houses or the oil we suck up from the ground. But when it comes to human energy, the topic can feel incredibly foreign at first.
