AZ Brandcast End of Year Show

Curious about how Conscious Capitalism supports freedom?

Wondering how “brand” supports that?

Mike and Chris talk about how the freedom ethos of Arizona–we don’t like to be told what to do–works
hand-in-hand with the ideas of Conscious Capitalism to keep people both free and responsible. Branding is then how conscious companies influence the culture.

ABOUT AZ BRANDCAST

Branding isn’t just for companies. In fact, Arizona is its own brand. Every month, Mike Jones and Chris Stadler tap into Arizona’s rich community of thought leaders and business owners to find out how the state is developing that brand. Join them as they interview business and thought leaders from in and around Arizona about higher purpose in their companies and Arizona’s development as a brand. AZ Brandcast is powered by Conscious Capitalism AZ and Resound Creative.

ABOUT YOUR HOSTS

It’s Mike Jones‘ mission to see brands grow and succeed – to reach their full potential. He believes every brand, like every person, has DNA that’s remarkable, but not every brand knows how to act like it (and communicate it to the world). It’s not about what’s trendy, whatever consumers are demanding, or whatever will turn the fastest profit. It’s about the long game – building real relationships with your customers and your community.

Chris Stadler likes to see great plans executed. In a world looking for magic formulas, his stoic outlook tends to point people back to doing the basics really well. Accountability and measurement are his tools. In the past, Chris served as the staff copywriter for a large credit union, UX/human factors researcher at the University of Iowa and full-time teaching faculty, teaching design, copy and strategy at the University of Oregon.

THINK FIT-GET FIT-STAY FIT Kyle McInstosh with MAC6 and Brian Mohr with Conscious Capitalism Arizona

Our first show is in the books for “Think Fit, Get Fit, Stay Fit”, hosted by Scott Marsh, sponsored by Mind and Body Strengthening, and his guests Kyle McIntosh with MAC6 and Brian Mohr from the AZ Chapter Conscious Capitalism.

We found out great background information on how each of them came to be in their current positions and how wellness plays an important role in all they do. Discussing their thoughts and experiences with corporate wellness programs, and the benefits to their employees, including the companies ROI. We shared the concern for obesity, including childhood obesity and the lack of physical education/activity today in schools.

Lastly we discussed how health and wellness fall under the four Conscious Capitalism tenets, 1) Higher Purpose 2) Stakeholder Orientation 3) Conscious Leadership 4) Conscious Culture.

This segment of “Think Fit, Get Fit, Stay Fit” is for anyone interested in learning more about Conscious Capitalism and what it means, what MAC6 to offer, especially in the health and fitness areas. MAC6 has a gym that anyone working in their work-space has access to with an on site Personal Trainer.

One of the main key points in a company wellness program, is that its success starts with its leaders at the top. If a company is considering incorporating a wellness program and is looking for an example, MAC6 has done a wonderful job of making it part of their culture.

With a background in marketing, in various for profit and not for profit companies, Kyle McIntosh wondered, “How can I pair the passion and commitment to community progress of a non-profit with the sustainability and reach of a for profit company?” From this question and perspective a mission evolved to tear down the false distinction between the two sectors and to promote companies with Conscious Capitalism® business models through MAC6.

Kyle is the President and Creative Excitant of MAC6. Day to day, his main operational role is on the “spaces” side of the business, focusing on creating thriving communities in the commercial office buildings, the co-working space, and the co-manufacturing space. The other role that he plays is that of EOS implementer, working with clients to bring the Entrepreneurial Operating System, from the book Traction® to their businesses. Additionally, he sits on the boards of Conscious Capitalism Arizona, telling the stories of good businesses in Arizona, and The Tempe Chamber of Commerce, sustaining Tempe’s quality of life and keeping our community and economy vibrant.

Kyle loves Arizona and wants to see us all collectively find great success based on the awesome things that are happening here every day.

Brian Mohr’s career-to-date has been a learning-based journey with an intense focus on people, purpose, values, culture, leadership, and advocating capitalism as a force for good. Brian was a founding member of Jobing.com, one of the original online job boards, which he helped grow to over 350 employees and $38M in revenue over an 11-year period. He later became director of talent strategy & acquisition for P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and Pei Wei Asian Diner restaurants before joining forces with his co-founder, Max Hansen, to create the first purpose-based leadership search firm, Y Scouts, in 2012. In the summer of 2018, Brian doubled down on his commitment to leveraging business as a powerful force for good and joined the Arizona Chapter of Conscious Capitalism as its first President. Together with Scott McIntosh, Founder & Chairman of the Arizona Chapter of Conscious Capitalism, Brian is focused on helping the Arizona business community practice capitalism with both a long-term view and a stakeholder-centric orientation; a model of business that creates prosperity for all.

Brian is on the Global Board of Trustees of Conscious Capitalism, Inc., a member of the Board of Directors of the Better Business Bureau of the Pacific Southwest, and anticipating the launch of his first book, “Hiring on Purpose – How the Y Scouts Method is Revolutionizing the Search for Leaders”. Brian’s most important and cherished responsibilities are being the lucky father to his 2 daughters, Taylor and Riley, and the proud husband to his wife, Jackie. In his spare time, you’ll find Brian practicing guitar and enjoying an occasional game of Texas Hold ’em Poker.
