Balancing Brain Chemistry with Vitamin X & Poetry
7-Day Narrative Arc: "The Ambassador’s Foundation"
Day 1 (Friday, Jan 2): The Power of the Filter
The Rumi Spark: "Every half-finished sentence, every thought that does not blossom into a fruit, is a waste of your soul's precious time."
The Narrative: Reflecting on my 13 years and the 1,000 guests I’ve filtered. Why am I down to just two repeats? Because in the "Then" of my career, I dealt with volume; in the "Now," I deal with Essence. * Mentor Moment: Talking about the "Executive No." How saying "No" to the 998 guests allowed me to say a profound "Yes" to the wisdom that truly matters for Maine.
The Rumi Spark: "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there."
The Narrative: Business is often framed as "Winning vs. Losing" (the Then). As a Goodwill Ambassador, I operate in "The Field" (the Now)—where the goal is community impact and legacy.
Mentor Moments: Share-ing a story of a business conflict that seemed like a "wrong" at the time, but in the "Field" of hindsight, it was a necessary bridge.
The Rumi Spark: "You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop."
The Narrative: Addressing my global audience. How a small conversation in Maine carries the weight of universal truths.
Mentor Moments: Explaining how a single "Maine-grown" principle—like neighborliness or grit—applies to a CEO in Singapore just as much as a shop owner in Portland.
The Rumi Spark: "Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames."
The Narrative: Monday is about energy. Mentioning Tam Veilleux and why she is one of my two "standing guests." She is a "flame-fanner."
Mentor Moment: Advice for the "Now" business owner on how to audit their circle. Who is fanning your flames, and who is pouring water on them?
The Rumi Spark: "If you are irritated by every rub, how will you ever be polished?"
The Narrative: Handling the friction of being a "Solo Commander." The technical glitches, the difficult days, the fatigue of 13 years.
Mentor Moment: How the "rubs" of the corporate ladder (the Then) are what gave me the "shine" I have as a Mentor (the Now).
The Rumi Spark: "There is a morning inside you waiting to burst open."
The Narrative: Mid-week momentum. Why I keep going after 365+1 days. It’s no longer a "task"; it’s a "river."
Mentor Moments: How to find the "internal morning" in a business that feels like it's in a "long night."
The Rumi Spark: "Unfold your own myth. Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others."
The Narrative: Closing the first week of Year 13 of 'podcasting overall 9 years DAILY . I’ve listened to 1,000's of stories; now I am helping others write their own Maine myth.
Mentor Moments: Encouraging the listeners to stop following the "standard" business book advice and start listening to their own "inner mentor."
Since I am the "Solo Commander" of this ship, here is how to use the "Then vs. Now" structure to make these 7 days feel like a cohesive masterclass:
The "Then" Anchor: Start each show with a 1-minute memory of my 13 years of podcasting and my executive career. (e.g., "I remember stories from long ago & far away
The Rumi Bridge: Using the Rumi poem(s) to connect that memory to a universal truth.
The "Now" Application: Giving a 2-minute "Ambassador’s Directive" to the modern Maine business community.
Goodwill Ambassador Note: Since you are in Year 13, Day 2 today—reminding my audience that "consistency is the highest form of mentorship." By showing up today after my big 365-day milestone, and true grit in achieving it!
