IH062 - Finding our Compassion with Bryan Welch

Bryan Welch is the CEO of Mindful Communications—a media and training company—and Mindful Magazine. He has spoken at major events such as the American Magazine Conference, Outdoor Retailer, the B Corporations Champion's Retreat, Conscious Capitalism's CEO Summit, the Green Business Conference, and Sustainable Brands. He ran Ogden Publications from 1996 to 2015, growing the publisher into a multi-media company with nine magazine titles. Bryan has served on the boards of several corporations, including the International Center for Ethics in Business, the Kansas Land Trust, Social Venture Network, and other nonprofits. He is also the author of the award-winning 2011 book, Beautiful and Abundant: Building the World We Want.

Bryan joins me today to discuss finding compassion. He shares how the world sees media companies and the differences in print and digital publications. Bryan reveals why new levels of compassion, understanding, and collaboration will be needed to solve the world’s problems. He shares the details of his journey to build his empathy and compassion skills after experiencing tragedy and grief and the benefits he has found in meditation. He reveals our tendency to put all of our energy and focus on describing obstacles when we should be focusing on what we want the world to look like. Bryan also shares how certainty and decisiveness are a form of aggression as well as the value of being vulnerable and uncertain.

"We are going to have to tackle our problems with collaboration, and the path to collaboration includes compassion." - Bryan Welch
