Show Notes:
In today’s episode we talked about one of the overriding mantras that help guide our podcast which is to never let the pressure to exceed the pleasure. This helps us to keep the podcast fun and to remind us that our friendship is more important than the podcast itself.
While we wish we could claim that we came up with the mantra, credit belongs to Joe Maddon who coached the Chicago Cubs baseball team to their first World Series Championship in over a hundred years in 2016. Throughout his tenure with the Cubs, Maddon would often have a mantra or theme for the team for each season to help the team stay focused.
About Ken:
Ken Loyd is husband to Deborah who is an executive coach, author and sought-after speaker. He’s also the father of four amazing individuals and grandfather of two delightful young women. He helped start The Bridge, a church in Portland for disenfranchised youth and is founder of HOMEpdx and The Underground, two convenient “churches” for his friends who live outdoors in downtown Portland.
Ken has a Masters in Intercultural Studies and is a trainer/consultant to nonprofits and churches, helping them gently love folks who have been overlooked by mainstream culture. He is not a sought-after conference speaker and his book, “They’re Gentiles for Christ’s Sake,” has sold less than 1500 copies since 2001. He’s just a guy with something in mind.
