His company’s name is Extreme Leadership Institute, and bestselling author Steve Farber is as powerful as his company’s name implies.
He also has the giant heart and magical powers of Tinkerbell, and he's not afraid to admit that he shares her core value: Love.
In this episode, Steve talks about the magic he has created or observed in extremely successful businesses who lead with love, infuse love into their businesses and invest in what makes their customers feel loved because, as he says, “Love is just damn good business.”
It’s the name of his most recent book (Love is Just Damn Good Business: Do What You Love in the Service of the People Who Love What You Do), and the name of his podcast.
We invite you to leap into this inspiring conversation with Steve. LEAP, you ask? Yes, LEAP like his previous bestselling book's title portends: The Radical Leap: A Personal Lesson in Extreme Leadership. Steve brings our attention to this love-based inspiring acronym wherever he goes -- including in this episode:
Cultivate Love
Generate Energy
Inspire Audacity
Provide Proof
You don't have to own or run a business to get value from Steve's love lessons. His advice is for all Superheroes of Love who want to make a difference in the world. The love we bring into our work lives spills into our personal lives, affects friends, family and beyond.
So tune in for a love tune-up!

This woman is literally waving her own special brand of magic wand to touch hundreds of hearts each week. Someone once waved a wand that magically lifted up Simone Gordon when she didn't have the money she needed to feed her special needs son. And, now she pays that blessing forward on a daily basis.
The pandemic has gravely affected many. Domestic abuse and mental health issues are on the rise. Unemployment, homelessness and hunger are an every day occurrence, but Simone is doing all she can to end people's suffering and move them one step closer to making their dreams come true. She isn't satisfied with helping people survive today. She works on moving them toward sustaining themselves for the long term as they move toward creating the lives they truly want.
Simone has been featured in People Magazine and she even won a Webby Award, but her dream has nothing to do with fame, she is on a mission to help as many women as she can as The Black Fairy Godmother, and to start a transition house for victims of domestic abuse.
If you need a respite from the tough news, I invite you to turn your attention to this bright and shining light on our planet, The Black Fairy Godmother. Simone is a true Superhero of Love, helping people lift their hearts out of the darkness and fill with the light and hope that she, her volunteers and donors have to spare for those temporarily less fortunate.
Find her on Instagram at "The Black Fairy Godmother Official" and jump into her magical world with both feet.

When Hope Hendricks met Ed Bacon met she was on her way to a career as a speech pathologist and he to a career as an attorney. All that changed when God came knocking, and we are so lucky it did because she opened her heart and her mind and they started a beautiful journey that allowed them to both change thousands of lives for the better with love.
Originally from the south, in 2016, they left All Saints Church in Pasadena where he was rector for over 20 years to return to the area. With a home in Birmingham, AL but a full time gig in Atlanta, they straddle both cities, and are doing their best to "evolve forward" as Ed calls it, through the classism, racism, through this pandemic, through the political dissension.
We are all in what Rev. Ed calls Pandemic University, and now amidst the George Floyd murder and protests, we are all being handed some very trying classes which he and Hope both help guide us through with a heavy dose of love and laughter.
You will hear about their relationship, how they navigate with love through even the difficult times weathering internal and external storms with a lot of grace...and laughter.
This interview dives deep but it also grabs your heart and promises to lift you up, up, up during these very trying times.
Rev. Ed's book (which Oprah Winfrey loved and celebrated) also couldn't be a more timely and helpful read. Get it now wherever you buy your books for a major uplift for your heart and soul:
You will hear Rev. Ed speak about the event of June 1st with Dr. Catherine Meeks. Click here to view the recording: "Time of Lament" with Rev. Bacon + Dr. Meeks

Have you searched online for a "COVID Map" to give you the details on where your area stands in the pandemic?
Have you been getting more and more texts and emails with "deals" lately?
Have you -- or someone you know -- been "ZOOM Bombed"?
And, most importantly, are you wondering how you can protect yourself and help protect others during these extraordinary times?
This episode's guest, Hemu Nigam, says we need to be more vigilant and proactive than ever. But he gives us plenty of tips and tools -- including his new app SYNDESY -- to help us navigate these extraordinary times.
Hemu is one of the top Cybersecurity & Privacy experts in the world who is often seen on CNN and other major news outlets as an expert in online security and privacy. He was one of the country's first online crimes prosecutors against hackers and child predators at the U.S. Department of Justice.
Hemu's company, Cyber Security Affairs, provides legal counsel and strategic advice on cutting edge online privacy and security issues. So, when Jody Savin came to him with the idea for an app that could help people feel more secure in the way they connect in the world, he was intrigued. They started developing Syndesy -- their app that just launched this week -- and soon realized that it had a timely use in helping to control the spread of the coronavirus.
We hope you will want to download Syndesy by the end of this podcast. Find it at the Apple App Store.
