Hey, welcome to Passion and Profits Without Burnout.
I'm your host, Jacob Moore, and this is the intro episode, which
is coming after episode 10 . So as usual, I'm sort of a, you know,
cart before the horse sorta of guy.
I tend to just jump into things and start going and I learn by doing.
I have a very iterative approach to my work.
And here we are.
Part of the reason why this intro session is coming.
The way, you know, the time that it is, is because of the production schedule.
The team that I was working with was like, Hey, we gotta get going.
And the guests that I, you know, had available we needed to jump in.
And so we did and recorded, you know, 10 great episodes with amazing
guests and fantastic interviews.
Tools and, you know, really tactical takeaways that I, I think you all enjoy.
But along the way, people have been asking, Hey, who is this guy and why
do we care about what he has to say?
Welcome to Passion and Profits Without Burnout.
I'm your host, Jacob Moore.
I'm a speaker, coach, childhood suicide loss survivor and filmmaker who left
Hollywood to follow my heart of service.
I've helped tens of thousands of people find the balance in their
life between passion and profits.
On the show, I'm gonna teach you how to build a trauma responsive,
resilient, and impactful community and organization, all without burning out.
Let's get started.
Those who don't know me I'll, I'll introduce myself.
So I'm Jacob Moore and I founded an organization called No Stigmas,
which is a mental health peer support organization focused on sharing
stories, lived experiences that help break down the stigmas around mental
illness, around suicide, and other behavioral challenges that people face.
Organization is a direct result of my own experience with peer support after
the death of my birth father by suicide.
And growing up with that loss experiencing early childhood trauma really set me
on a pretty discursive path, both from.
You know, from a educational perspective and a personal
development perspective relationships been really challenging for me.
And the, the whole trajectory of my, you know, my learning and career
was, was really affected by by that experience and the subsequent anxiety
and depression that I experienced.
After working with numerous therapists and doctors, trying, you know, 33 different
combinations of pharmaceuticals to try to fix my brain what really made the biggest
impact in my life was peer support.
Meeting someone who shared their story and who helped normalize what
I was going through, and was also an example of what life could look.
While living with mental health challenges.
And that set me on a path to discover, you know, my own
roadmap for wellness and beyond.
And that led me to the creation of the Five Bridges Wellness System
which is a five part curriculum that is really a construct for
developing a wellness action.
And I, I noticed that things really fell into the five different categories for me.
And as I began to make modifications or as I say self experimentation
in these different categories I could really adjust my overall
wellness and therefore mental health.
And that led to me finding a sustainable plan.
When I shared it with others it was interesting to them and helpful for them.
So I basically built a curriculum at scale which I now license
to service organizations that.
Utilize it to help their clients in, you know, for populations ranging from, you
know, people who are incarcerated or in, you know, mental health facilities to,
you know, parents and families being used with youth as employee wellness program.
And now over 10,000 people have experienced the curriculum.
So that's just a little bit about my background and the work that I.
So let's talk about you.
And this show is really for service leaders and I, I, I
will also say impact leaders.
So service leaders, impact leaders.
I use them interchangeably, and it's really just a matter of branding.
But who I mean by service leaders is, are people who are doing some type of work.
It can be non-profit for-profit.
Really with the mindset of being of service to others, or at least infusing
that into the work that they do.
So service leaders can show up of, of course, in non-profit organizations or
community service organizations, B CORs.
But we also connect with a lot of people who are in for-profit
companies, Fortune 550 companies who.
Are working in hr, diversity, equity, and inclusion, or are just people
who really care about, you know, doing the most good in their, you
know, respective role and using their power for good, you know, as we say.
So a, a service leader is someone who is Thinking beyond themselves to
their staff, to their community to the world at large, and really cares about
infusing value into what they're doing.
So if, if that, Speaks to you, or if that describes you, then
you're in the right place.
And regardless of whether you're leading a team or you know, you're providing
coaching services, maybe you're working, you know, one-on-one with
individuals or you know, you're, you're really an advocate for a large cause.
Wherever you are at on the spectrum I, I hope that you'll find something here
that is of value to you and I'm really trying to reach, you know, within that
group of, of individuals to speak to all the needs that you might have.
And I'll get into that a little more later.
So, What will this look like?
The, the show will really be separated into two different types of episodes.
So you can expect to have episodes that are really focused on tangible tools
and, you know, tactical takeaways.
So you'll learn something in each episode.
Something that you can take and really.
Bring action to, in the role or into your, into your life very immediately.
So really everything from, you know, marketing to, you know, creating a, you
know, a diverse and inclusive environment and everything in between that you
might experience as a service leader.
We're gonna talk about the very tangible tools that you can use to.
Do your work better.
Another type of episode that you'll experience is focused on mindset.
And mindset is really you know, it, it's for, it's for you.
It's for helping you, you know, disrupt patterns in your brain or cycles that are
interfering with your ability to you know, stay organized and focused or, you know
deal with self, self-sabotage in some way.
Dr.
Judy Ho was my very first guest, and we talk about her six steps
to removing self-sabotage.
That's a big challenge for a lot of people, especially those
of us with lived experiences.
Most generally people are getting into a service field because they've experienced.
You know, their own challenges and, you know, self sabotage can be part of that.
So those are the two types of episodes.
Something that's really, you know, tangible and a tool that
you can take away and mindset.
And sometimes they'll come in the form of me interviewing a guest or sometimes
that'll be me solo and sharing, you know, information that, that I have
so, I do this because I feel that it's very important to give back.
That's one of my core values.
That's one of the five bridges.
The fifth Bridge is give.
And the reason why I bring that into this podcast and, and what inspired
me to do it is because I've made so many mistakes along the way.
I've fallen down and gotten back up and tried again, and tried again.
And I, I know that there's an easier way.
So.
I want to share those experiences.
Not as, you know, cautionary tale, but really to say like, Hey if you
can learn from my mistakes and use that as a way to grow or to, you know,
maybe avoid some of the challenges that I had to deal with great.
Then it's, it's, it's worth it.
So.
The show Passion and Profits without Burnout has really infused into it.
My Core four, i, I call it a core four of impact leadership.
The first of these core values that are infused in, in this show.
Is a mission mindset.
So having a mission mindset that's driving outcomes through your
purpose and it's really about.
Infusing that mission into every single thing that you do.
And I'll have an episode exclusively on Mission Mindset and really how to make
it tangible in the work that you do.
The second Core four is an empathetic environment.
How as a leader do you create an environment that is conducive to your.
Really having the care and support they need to feel like they're, they're
able to, you know, be themselves and maybe share some of the challenges
that they're facing and not be afraid of being, you know, stigmatized or
being looked over because of some of those natural things that we all face.
We'll talk about how to use those challenges.
As a benefit to you and to your organization.
We'll look at, you know, diversity, equity, inclusion.
We'll look at ways to, you know, be accommodating for things like grief
for trauma, and you know, how to really just understand the individuals
that you're working with on a deeper level while still respecting the
necessary boundaries in the work.
The third core four is your professional and personal progress.
So professional and personal progress is really about you, your growth as a human
being but also as a, as a professional.
If there's not something in it for you, then you know you're not
gonna be as motivated to, you know, continue to grow and to innovate.
So, you know, really looking at thought leadership in this space and how can
you become someone who is an influencer in the, you know, the work that you do.
And that can just be your insular work environment on, on social
or whatever your aspirations are.
It doesn't, The work that you do doesn't need to be exclusive of your
growth, and we'll talk about strategies for making that happen as well.
And the fourth core four is sustainable self care.
None of this works if you are burnt out.
You cannot take care of others in the way that they need to be taken care of
or led if you are somehow compromised.
In your, your health and wellness.
So we'll talk about strategies for really bringing that mindset of your,
your needs need to be addressed in order to do the work that you do on
the level that you wanna be doing it.
We'll dig into all of those and how that works both in the upcoming episodes
and in really infused into the entire.
So I, I just wanna briefly talk about why having, A service leadership
mindset is so important, and I'm not gonna get into, you know, the world or
toxicity or, you know, the, all, all of the issues inherent in consumerism.
That that is where it is.
So we're just gonna let set that over on a shelf here.
But on a personal level, I just, I want you to know that I very
much believe in both individual.
And the need for human beings to coexist in a community that is interdependent
and it's challenging to balance both.
But it's possible.
And I think to truly be a service leader of impact it's necessary to do.
I learned some hard lessons by trying to do it alone.
I built teams that fell apart.
I created systems that broke down, and I realized that in trying to DIY everything,
that you cannot be good at all things.
Being a specialist is how we grow.
So understanding what my own strengths are and where I can bring the most value
to an organization or to a community has been one of the, one of the greatest
ways that I've, I've been able to grow and have, you know, success in my life.
One of the, one of the biggest ways that I've done.
Is by connecting with the best of the best.
I do not compromise when it comes to the talent on my team, the partners
that I work with, or the people who I hire to advise me and my team on growth.
So, That is why you'll notice that you know, everything I put
out there is highly branded.
It's focused on, you know, it's design driven.
It has an aesthetic because it needs to look a certain way in order to instill
the confidence that comes with the information that I'm sharing, but also
in order to stand out and compete with.
The companies out there with millions and millions of dollars
in their marketing budget.
So a big part of what I do is help individuals, help service leaders
understand they need to think like those multimillion dollar corporations,
billion dollar corporations.
You need to think like a gigantic marketing department, like a PR firm.
Like a social media influencer and infuse those perspectives into
whatever great work that you're doing.
Doesn't mean that you have to have a huge reach.
Doesn't mean that you have to have a, you know, big marketing budget.
We can bring these ideas into our little micro communities and have a great impact.
Really understanding that we, we can't do it alone and that we have
to really really compete on a level that is maybe beyond what we're
thinking of for a local organization.
I, I wanna make sure that I'm also sharing and, and, Making it known that
a big part of this is sustainability.
We need to practice self care, avoid burnout in order to do
this on a sustainable level.
What I mean, sustainability is you also need to have your needs taken care of.
You need to make a good living.
Being of service to others doesn't mean you have to sacrifice.
Your own quality of life.
And that's a hard lesson that I had to learn when I first
started to know stigmas.
I bootstrapped it and I, I was spending all of my time volunteering
for my or own organization.
And part of that's just, you know, not having a knowledge of how to build an
organization learning as I went along.
But part of it is this false sense of needing to sacrifice or it being
somehow, you know, wrong to, you know, make a good living while
also being of service to others.
Both are possible.
I am very much a, a firm believer in the fact that there is plenty to go around.
We have access issue.
To the resources that are out there, and that's part of what
this show is about, is to help helping to break down those barrier.
To access the resources that we need in order to play on the next level, but
that includes you having what you need as a service leader to be able to grow.
I worked with a fantastic therapist, Leo, who helped me understand that
and helped me understand that we don't have to compromise when it comes.
Really having the lifestyle that we need to sustain giving to
others in the way that we want to.
So if you feel like you're having challenges, finding clarity
as a service leader, if you.
