The Explore Purpose Podcast inspires you to live a life of meaning and purpose so that you can make a greater impact on the world around you.
Host: Conrad Weaver
Guest: Scott Ryser
Today's Episode: At Work as in Heaven
About Scott:
Scott Ryser grew up going to church every week but never knew God. When Scott finally dedicated his life to Christ in 1995, he knew he was making a decision about his Tuesday, not just his Sunday. Since then, Scott has spent most of his time wrestling with the practical challenges of living out his faith at work every day. When the opportunity to start his company arose, Scott named it Yakabod, meaning "God's glory," pushing into the question, "Is it even possible for a company to give God glory?" And not by doing church stuff at the office, but by doing work in a way that glorifies God. As Scott slowly made progress, the question became: "Is it possible to partner with God at work every day?"
At this point, Scott began to realize the Lord plays by a completely different set of rules, and things just work differently in His Kingdom. This ultimately led to an even bigger question: Can a company look more like the Kingdom of Heaven?
Scott is a passionate leader with a head for business, an entrepreneurial spirit, and some basic tech savvy. He's not allowed to write code anymore - but over the past 25+ years he has designed, built and/or managed IT initiatives ranging from small pilot projects to enterprise overhauls using Internet technologies. A "startup guy" at heart, Scott's spent nearly two decades working with a great team to build Yakabod into a premier niche solutions provider. His previous corporate experience also includes management positions with two national system integrators.
Some of his best strategic thinking happens while he's deeply immersed in adventures like thru-hiking, rock climbing, snowboarding or bike touring. (Or maybe that's how he rationalizes the time off.) Scott is an avid reader and a student of business - but is happy to be done with his formal education, having earned an MSEE from The Johns Hopkins University and a BSEE from University of Akron. He serves a number of regional organizations in an advisory or board role, including techfrederick, FITCI, crossedBridges, New Spire Arts, and Woodsboro Bank. Scott was also founder and lead vocalist for modern rock bands milenine and Cry of Mercy for over a decade - and hopes to start another band soon.

Today's Episode: Side Hustles with Purpose
About David:
David (Diem) Leath was 20 years into his career as a police officer when he saw a need to transition into business.

According to David, most frontline heroes don’t know how to talk about their 20+ years of experience in a way that translates into money. David is the founder and Chief Visionary Officer at The Hero Coach and he is the host of the Hero Academy Podcast in addition to being a full time police officer! On this episode of the PTSD911 Presents podcast David tells his story and how he is turning his side hustle into a sustainable business that will carry him well into retirement.

This is Motivation Monday! A short monologue with inspiration for your week…brought to you by ConjoStudios, and the Explore Purpose Podcast.
Are you feeling stuck? I know I have been there. Not knowing how to move forward. I have a tip for this… so stay tuned.
My name is Conrad Weaver, I’m the host of the Explore Purpose Podcast and I’m a documentary film maker. My purpose is to inspire you to live a life that matters! When you discover and live out your purpose, you will have greater impact on the world around you!
I’m so glad you tuned in.
Getting stuck is never fun. I remember sliding into a snowy ditch once when I was a teenager… it took a tractor to pull me out…
But that’s not really the kind of stuck I’m talking about.
Perhaps you’re stuck in a job you don’t really like. Or your stuck on a problem your trying to solve, or perhaps your stuck in your career and don’t really know where to turn next. Or maybe your frustrated that you don’t seem to be getting anywhere on your project, that you’re not achieving the goal.
I’ve been to all of these places. And it’s not fun.
This I know. It’s hard to focus on the future…it’s hard to see the possibilities of what can be, while being stuck. It’s like you can’t see around the problem.
I recently had a conversation with a friend, Jim Whitt who gave me an idea… (you can hear my conversation on episode # 76 of the explore purpose podcast)
He was talking about discovering purpose by going through a process.
In the process you discover purpose.
And I think we can use that same idea to get unstuck, or to be able to move forward in order to get to where you want to be…
It’s the process.
Yesterday I took a bike ride to begin the process of training for a cross country trip I’m planning for next Summer.
I only rode 13 miles and felt great but exhausted afterward. My mind kept going froward to next year, when I’d be riding 75 to 100 miles every day! Right now, that seems impossible.
But I know the process of training will get me there. If I only focus on the goal, I’ll never get there. But if I focus on the process of training, riding every day, 10-20 miles at a time, I’ll eventually be able to ride 75 or 100 miles in a day. It’s the process that gets me to the goal.
So, what are you stuck on?
What’s the process that you need to do to achieve the goal you have?
Are you only focusing on the goal or on your stuckness ?
The process takes time. I have to be patient with myself while I’m working through the process. The process leads me toward progress.
There’s no progress without process.
Don’t be so in love with the goal that you neglect the process. I know I need to remind me about this regularly!
I love the idea of completing a film project and releasing it to the world. But if I only focus on the end result I’ll never get there. I have to focus on the process of actually making the film.
Work on the process and your success will come.
So that’s the motivation for today. What’s the process you need to focus on? Go out and do that today.
Do you want a rich and satisfying life? Focus on the process.
Thanks for listening, and be sure to subscribe and catch another episode of the Explore Purpose podcast coming up next week!
Go out and fulfill your dreams! Thanks for listening, I’ll talk with you again soon.
