Fruit that will last by Chris Harrington

You can produce fruit and much fruit only by staying attached to the vine and with constant pruning and cutting. That is a good thing and required for good fruit to be produced.

SO next time you're being cut and pruned do not dismay but rejoice in the Lord, for you are getting ready to bear good fruit.

For details, questions and additional content on how you can increase your faith and produce good fruit please visit www.MaximizeU.life or www.spirituscounseling.com or email coach@maximizeu.life

#TheEdgeofEverydayPodcast | Ep 52 Lead to Liberate: Wisdom, AI, and the Future of Leadership

Ep 52 | Lead to Liberate: Wisdom, AI, and the Future of Leadership 1/30/2026

Today we are #LIVEInTheHIVE with Brian Gorman, maverick leadership coach and author of Leading into the Age of Wisdom: Reimagining the Future of Work.

Brian writes: “When hierarchies falter, networks and circles emerge. When loyalty contracts dissolve, people seek belonging and purpose. When change accelerates, organizations must cultivate adaptability and rhythm. When technology grows powerful, the human role shifts from doing the work of machines to bringing discernment, empathy, and wisdom into the system.”

What are the implications for corporations and organizations? And from a larger perspective, democracy and patriarchy?

As Klaus Schwab writes in The Fourth Industrial Evolution, “The changes are so profound that, from the perspective of human history, there has never been a time of greater promise or greater peril.” Is our dystopian view that AI is replacing human-kind true or false? Which beliefs, habits, or assumptions about leadership may need to be unlearned or reframed for me to become an Age of Wisdom leader?

We touch on:

- We are at a tipping point with AI that requires making clear decisive decisions to choose the ultimate path upon which humanity will embark, recognizing that we’re on the verge of the equivalent of the Industrial Revolution.

- AI has made human intelligence obsolete, but humans possess WISDOM, Wisdom guides our decisions in how we utilize AI.

- Hierarchy assumes wisdom rests in the top tier, when in fact everyone has wisdom or the potential for wisdom.

- Brian shares 2 stories of well-known corporations discovering that wisdom from the C-suite is no longer sufficient.

- Democracy itself (and all patriarchal systems) requires the overlay of these same skill sets as leaders moving into The Age of Wisdom.

- Decentralizing decision making from the top doesn’t slow systems down.

- What are wisdom circles? How do we respond to crisis? And what will be the impact of our decisions over the next 7 generations?

- Work is not done through time, it’s done through energy. How do we build physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy?

- Circle, rather than linear, philosophy- Interconnectedness.

- All this and so much more.

Poets & Prophets—A Formational Journey for Change Leaders by Deborah Rundlett

Poets & Prophets—A Formational Journey for Change Leaders is for leaders who yearn for this next level of consciousness, who are ready to risk letting go in order to step into a deeper way of being, belonging, and becoming.

 

Is this Journey for You?

You may be called to this journey if several of the following are true:

• You can no longer lead from performance alone—something deeper is demanding your attention.
• The strategies that once worked now feel hollow, forced, or misaligned.
• You sense that what is being asked of you cannot be accomplished through passion, skill, and gifts alone—it requires connecting soul with Source.
• You feel both fear and relief at the idea of letting go of your former ways of being.
• Your usual sources of certainty—role, reputation, expertise—no longer support your sense of call.
• You experience a persistent inner summons toward crossing the divides that separate us.
• You recognize that insight alone is no longer enough—you are being invited into a new level of consciousness.

This is an iterative journey that invites deeper alignment, widening circles of impact, and a return to leadership as a creative, relational, and generative act.
