I recently met up with my friend Adam Meyer to pick his brain on his thoughts on the benefits of intentional living. In this episode, Adam, a higher ed professional and fellow leadership and disability advocate, share his own story about intentional living, leadership, and priorities especially as they relate to family and faith. Check out these tips for living a happier, more efficient and fulfilling life all from simply living intentionally.
Note from your Leaderbyte Host, Chester Goad: Dear Leaderbyte Listeners and Friends, so I was down in Florida and realized I didn't have all of my recoridng equipment, specifically an extra mic. I decided to use the internal microphones from my recording device, but didn't account for location, etc. Unfortunately it sounds somewhat like we're in a bucket even after editing. The content is excellent though, so I hope you'll give this unintended bucket episode a listen, and check out Adam Meyer's tips for living intentionally. You'll be glad you did!
All my best, Chester

Leaderbyte Host Chester Goad talks about leadership related to social outreach and specifically homelessness with Alan Graham is the president, CEO, and founder of Mobile Loaves & Fishes. Mobiles Loaves & Fishes, is a social profit enterprise that delivers meals and provides homes to homeless people on the streets of Austin, San Antonio, New Orleans, Nashville, Minneapolis, Providence, and New Bedford.
Alan co-founded the Lynxs Group, which built the air cargo facility at Austin’s new airport in 1997, and went on to build similar facilities at airports around the country.
Alan left the Lynxs Group in 1997 and managed Austin’s cargo port as the new airport was opening. At the same time, Alan had the seed of the idea for Mobile Loaves & Fishes. He and the other founders started by making sack lunches and serving them from the back of a green minivan. His focus now is the development and building of the Community First! Village, a 27-acre master-planned community that provides affordable, sustainable housing and a supportive community for the disabled and chronically homeless in Austin.

Ever figure out what you thought was your dream may not be your calling, and that maybe God wanted more for you? Are you young and searching for direction or next steps? (or maybe just young at heart)? Paul Sohn is an award winning blogger, author, coach and speaker. His blog has been listed in the Top 15 of Leadership Blogs to Follow worldwide. Christianity Today named him as one of 33 under 33 to watch, and he's a John Maxwell, Top 100 speaker. More importantly, Paul is a great person of purpose living intentionally to reach those in their twenties and thirties and helping them and others find their purpose. In this discussion, we talk about what it's like to realize your calling and change professions and essentially walking away from a seemingly safe dream job and then out on faith to live the life God wants for you! Paul talks about his own journey, and shares some insight and relevant points for all of us to consider. Paul has a new book "Quarter-Life Calling" releasing on April 4, 2017, and has recently founded a new online community for 20-Somethings called QARA (Pronounced CAR-A). Links are in the notes below!
