Josh Block - People Matter - S4 | Ep8

When Josh Block left the office on Friday, he was a regional sales representative. By Monday morning, he was president of the company. His unexpected promotion threw him into the deep end of leadership—facing the same challenges many leaders encounter daily: reengaging a disheartened team, restoring trust, and creating a culture where people love to work. In People Matter at Work [https://peoplematteratwork.com/book?utm_source=angelsdemonspodcast], Block shares his story of navigating crisis leadership by shifting the focus from individual survival to collective success. He exposes the toxic grip of the Me-Cycle—a self-preserving mindset in which bosses and employees operate in silos and primarily look out for themselves. It’s a surefire recipe for disengagement and dysfunction. The antidote? The We-Cycle—a transformational approach powered by leaders who work together, make thoughtful decisions, and lead with transparency. These leaders create cultures where people feel safe, seen, and successful. When leaders embody this mindset and put people first, team members respond in kind—carrying trust, ownership, and generosity. This deepens commitment and fuels a culture where performance shines and everyone wins. With empathy and hard-won insight, Block offers real-world, practical tools for leaders at any level to turn workplaces into communities of shared purpose, growth and belonging. Because leadership isn’t just about confidence and competence—it’s about cultivating a culture where people thrive. Whether you’re an aspiring leader or leading from the top, People Matter at Work shows how the most successful companies build from the inside out—by choosing we over me.

Dr. Trey Wilson - S3 Ep4 - Horticulture Therapy

They say that ‘ past is prologue’: our past directs our destiny. This rings true for me. Professionally, I spent the first thirty-seven years working in Manhattan as a cosmetic dentist. It was lucrative and very demanding work. I felt like I was wearing “golden handcuffs. ” The only way I was able to optimally perform was revisiting the days of my youth where I spent countless hours helping my dad build his incredible gardens. I spent 15 years in this form of garden therapy at my home in Bucks County, Pa before I discovered that “horticultural therapy” was a profession I could both study and share. I decided to leave dentistry, and become trained as a horticultural therapist. My lifelong training and practice of the science and art of dentistry paved the way for me to also train as a landscape designer. With these complementary certifications, I was invited to be part of a design team for creating a healing garden at the Jacksonville Mayo Clinic and ultimately moved to Jacksonville . I am also a certified spiritual director in the Episcopal church and a forest therapy guide. The mission of my business, Trey Gardens, LLC, to design garden spaces, and plant-based activities to deepen our connection with Nature to improve well-being. I work in commercial, residential, and institutional settings. I work with doctors, architects, builders, nurses, business and homeowners alike. My life purpose and passion are aligned in ways that I could never have imagined.
