We called this the show about Change. For good reason!
Most people don’t have ‘e-waste’ on their radar. It often sounds a lot like the industrial effluent problem that we keep hearing about. But e-waste is something very personal, something we contribute to whether we know about it or not.
Some startling stats: Between 2005 and 2006, the total volume of waste hitting municipal landfills increased by 1.2 percent. Ewaste however increased by 8.6%!
In studio, Jeffrey Rassas and Daniel Henderson
Our first guest, Jeffery Rassas, began YouChange.com to do something about this. But there’s an interesting business model behind it, where both people and planet benefit.
Our second guest was Daniel Henderson, Founder and CEO, Relumination. His company retrofits lighting features in organizations, small and large. But it’s more than the light bulb that we talked about.

We packed this week’s show with three guests, so you can imagine, there was quite a lot of ground our guests covered.
The show featured Dave Cottle at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Lionel Weeks of LifeBridge Health, and Tom Badrick, consultant to Legacy Health System.
Employees are either ticked off or raring to go. That’s the commonly held wisdom, right?
We wanted to find out and conducted a survey before this show and were pleasantly surprised that a large percentage of responders have positive things to say about the workplace. However, when asked to describe what a terrible place to work was, one respondent cited “Filth, blind micro-management, too many chiefs.”
We did this snap survey for a reason. We were going to ask our guest, a much-acclaimed author of the book Fired Up Or Burned Out, about what kind of leadership makes workplaces so dreary or at other times, inspiring. The book (which has received great reviews on Amazon) takes you into leadership qualities and the ‘power of connection’ at work from the American Revolution to… Starbucks!
Download the book! Mike’s been gracious to let our listeners download the book free here.
We had some great guests, Kathy Miller and Marty Metro. It was a show about sustainability and why so many companies need executive coaching in this realm. How does the C-suite look at social media and employee engagement?
We then switched gears and talked to someone who has made a great business out of used cardboard boxes! Talk about a packed show
