If you’d like a little more info on what I’m up too — Here’s a wonderful 30 minute interview

Here’s the show notes!

Podcaster, digital marketing maven and accountability consultant Meredith Medland talks to Susan about how listeners can increase their goal achievement by following the 3Outcomes system. Used in conferences, off-sites and group strategy meetings, Meredith facilitates a simple process that brings teams together around a common set of goals while simultaneously creating individual accountability. She describes the application at the recent eMetrics Summit where Jim Sterne, the Founder of the event, made sure every attendee knew why there were there and what they wanted to get out of the event. How many people just show up to shows with no plan?

Having 3Outcomes integrated into the programming gave permission to attendees to ask each other for things they wanted and for places where they needed support. The camaraderie was rich and the event more fulfilling. Meredith, who got a relative Master’s Degree in transformational work, took everything she applied and put it into her process for accountability and goal-setting for corporate America. He beautiful blend of humanity and achievement strike the right balance for today’s workplace.

Then Meredith, who does a weekly podcast on Personal Life Media called “Living Green: Effortless Ecology for Everyday People,” talked about how she integrates her focus on sustainable living and ecology with her personal spiritual work of Hapkido (she’s on her way to a black belt) and her 3Outcomes consultancy. The three harmonize beautifully and this interview gives heart to those who aren’t currently finding meaning in their work. Meredith’s career beautifully fuses her passions and sets an example of someone who is living her life fully.

I’m in Santa Cruz tonight and watching the fireworks on the beach and I realize that there will most likely come a time when fireworks will be a memory of the past.  (Kind of like dial - up…)

Here’s some info on fireworks for you:

Statistics show that about 0.03% of the toxins on the planet each year come from  fireworks. Fireworks create unnatural toxins create smog, acid rain, and a few enviromental damages. The fireworks also create physical distractions in the enviroment expecially oceans because as you probably know, fireworks release plastic and ash onto the ground which usually goes along the way with run-off. This is a problem but it is minor considering the great factor that other problems are to the damages of the enviroment (such as huge factories).

While 30,000 or more head to burningman.com in late August, Julia Butterfly Hill will be in Costa Rica empowering women. Suzanne Sterling, who I interviewed in episode four of my podcast, will be there as well!

The bigger question: What is the next wave after this Green Gold Rush? How are the Green movement leaders, otherwise known as the “Green Core” in the press, spending their time? What is their focus on?

Spirituality and the Daily Practice of “Spiritual Living” seem to be the next consumer trend on the rise — maybe 18 months or so. For me, Living Green is living spiritually. Learn how my guests have been “awakened” through their ecological practices…I’m getting deeper with my guests - more intimacy each week!
