May 10, 2022

Everyone who has listened, contributed, commented, and supported us are part of this milestone, and we are grateful to you all! This episode was originally recorded and streamed live.
During this episode Luke, Hannah, and Chris each mention an episode that had a big impact on them. Here they are:
- Luke: Magic in the Room #79: How to Develop Leaders with Greg Robinson
- This conversation with Greg Robinson helped Luke understand that leadership is not defined solely by the science of best practices, behaviors, and competencies. Rather, leaders are also defined by their character, values, and conviction.
- Hannah: Magic in the Room #65: The Hope Theory with Special Guest Dr. Chan Hellman
- This conversation with Dr. Chan Hellman helped Hannah understand hope as a tangible idea that can be measured. People with hope have a vision, a pathway to accomplishing the vision, and the agency to execute that plan, which is in direct contrast to someone who dreams of a better future but has no hope of that dream ever becoming a reality
- Chris: Magic in the Room #84: Win and Help Win in Tribal Enterprise with Brian Gooden
- Episode 84 included a conversation with Brian Gooden about what it means to be a Warrior or an Elder, in particular in the context of Tribal Enterprises. Elders provide counsel, and Warriors take action to be responsible for people’s well-being, which does not necessarily mean bearing arms in battle.
