 Joy is Your Job, Leadership is a Verb, and the Ripple Effect (with Lisa Even) Joy doesn’t happen by accident—we make it our job. Leadership isn’t a title—it’s a daily practice. In this episode recap, Lisa Even and I dig into practical ways leaders can build teams people want to be part of, create “good ripple effects,” and make room for joy at work and at home.Why This Conversation Matters Around here, we believe growth doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be honest. If you’re building a business, a life, and a legacy that feels aligned and beautifully real, this one’s for you. Lisa Even brings the practical tools and the heart. Joy Is a Job (Not a Reward You “Earn” Later) Lisa and her husband were classic high performers—overscheduled and postponing joy for “after the next project.” Their pivot: hang a whiteboard in the bedroom and list the things they used to do, could do, and want to do. Then start doing them—imperfectly and consistently. Joy isn’t a luxury; it fuels the work. Leadership as Daily Practice: The PB&J One‑on‑One Lisa’s PB&J framework makes 1:1s human and high‑performing: P — Perspective: What’s happening in their world? Try on their glasses before you judge.B — Better: Invite them to spot problems and propose improvements. Give permission to act.J — Joy: Align tasks with strengths and season of life—joy increases productivity. Take five minutes before each 1:1 to jot P, B, and J. You’ll have a richer conversation and clearer next steps. Culture You Can Feel: Building a Team “Ecosystem” Lisa used to cup her hands and tell her team, “This is our ecosystem—build, maintain, and protect it.” That mindset gave everyone ownership. People started solving problems proactively and celebrating each other’s ripple effects. Leadership micro‑behaviors that compound: Tell the truth (even when it’s messy). Trust is oxygen.Praise progress, not just perfection. People need to hear when they’re doing well.Ask why resistance exists (fear, change fatigue, capacity). Then co‑solve it.Make permission explicit: “You have authority to fix what you can see.” A Tale of Two Leaders (and Why It Matters) One of Lisa’s earliest positive experiences: a COO noticed she’d gone on a “smoke break” without smoking. Instead of shaming her, he asked if she was bored and gave her a stretch project. That single choice told her: I see your potential. She stepped up and delivered. Contrast that with leaders who fudge the truth—trust cracks a little each time. Credibility is a leader’s compounding asset. Everyday Leadership (Beyond Titles) Lisa teaches leadership to teens and to teams: it’s the kayaking guide, the teacher, the librarian, the neighbor who picks up trash every Thursday. Macro change is built on micro moments. Start with your square foot. Ask your team (or yourself) this week: What tiny thing would make work 10% better?Where can we create a good ripple today?What joy can we schedule—not someday, but now?
