His experience as a student at the Medical College of Georgia instilled a passion for addressing the root cause of a problem rather than simply treating symptoms. Since entering the business sector, he has become a student of the human mind, studying motivation and the decision-making process in a search to determine what really drives us. Above all, he considers his role as husband to his wife, Alli, and father to his three daughters his most important work in life. His leadership can be summed up as ‘Encourage Wisdom. Almost every leadership author will confess that “before you can lead others you must learn to lead yourself”, yet few set out to teach self management. He believes lack of self management is the reason we are so anxious and frustrated with our work. He believes that every decision, every recommendation, every plan, is for the good of the neighbors that we serve, not simply our own profits or recognition.

Featured Interview with Peter C. Mitchell

For years you have passed them on the streets, as much a part of your routine as your morning shower, your half-hearted scan of the world's news — fake or otherwise — and the barista who artistically crafts the £4 cappuccino with soya milk, three drops of vanilla, and a flutter of chocolate sprinkles that has to be made just right or it throws your day off in ways that nobody else understands.   You see them as often as you see your own family. The disenfranchised. The rough sleepers. The homeless. Camped out and befouling the sidewalks and alleyways of your daily commute, their worldly possessions, such as they are, spread around them —as dirty and worn out as the sleepers themselves, but as valuable to them as your £100 brogues are to you.   Occasionally you get the urge to throw some loose change at them as a gesture of magnanimous humanity, but when push comes to shove you would rather tip the honest, hard-working barista who ensures your day gets off to a proper start. Better to support the successful rather than throw good money after bad trying to keep the great unwashed afloat.   You have conditioned yourself to look through them – allowing your eyes to pass over them without actually seeing them. A defeated acceptance of lives gone wrong; uncomfortable reminders of what can happen when the best laid plans of mice and men go horribly awry. "Thank god I'm not like them," you think, sipping your £4 cup of liquid gold. "I could never let that happen to me."   Until suddenly – inexplicably – it does. And you discover the life you have built was nothing more than a house of cards that crashed down around you with frightening ease. A spate of bad luck, a poor decision or two, and the ubiquitous 'circumstances beyond your control' conspire to create a perfect storm of events that leaves you cast away on the streets feeling dazed, disjointed, and damned.   This is Peter C. Mitchell's story. But it could be your story. Not to mention the thousands of others, past and present, that have found themselves broken behind closed charity doors. Theirs are the stories that need to be heard. To be read.   Peter's book: https://www.amazon.com/Awakenings-Sleeping-Rough-Peter-Mitchell-ebook/dp/B08NRKWLS9/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Rude+Awakenings+from+Sleeping+Rough&qid=1606919380&sr=8-1   Investigating a story on Corporate Social Responsibility inspired me to look beyond profit margins and PR into the very real problems faced by society. This interest motivated me to begin research for “A Knight in the Slums,” a biography of my great, great grandfather, Sir John Kirk. As Secretary of The Ragged School Union, John championed the causes of children, the disabled, and the working poor in Victorian-era London. His influence extended beyond the city limits, and his life proved more interesting than previous biographies revealed. Dust-buried references have surfaced in the most obscure locales, showing the consequences—both good and bad—to the ragged and crippled children John Kirk devoted his life to helping. In 2017, I returned to London to complete my work. The past was ready to be mined; the future, bright. The present, however, took an unpredictable -and darkly ironic—turn. A series of unfortunate events transpired, creating a perfect storm of calamities leaving me penniless and sleeping rough. I had unwittingly fallen victim to the same societal ailments John Kirk fought. That nightmare inadvertently provided me with an inside look into the current workings of these same systems -put in place over a century ago. That experience frightened me more than the horrors of homelessness itself. Armed with the scars of this unexpected, but disturbingly relevant, knowledge I continue to work on “A Knight in the Slums” with renewed insight. John Kirk created solutions over 100 years ago that are still in play today. Times have changed; yet the solutions have stagnated, and proven to not be solutions, but mechanisms that perpetuate the cycle of poverty: a Hell’s Carousel funded by well-meant individuals and institutions blinded by the brand of “charity.” New systems need to be developed; new solutions need to be found. By better analyzing the past, "A Knight in the Slums" will serve as a springboard to create a better future.         Peter C.

Parry is the founder of the Make Time Institute, where they help financial professionals and business owners achieve work/life balance. What’s unique about Travis, though, is that he spent nearly a decade working as a financial advisor as well and living firsthand the challenges of balancing the demands of an advisory firm with the needs of his family and home life before going back to school to earn a Ph.D. in family relations and human development and to study what it really takes to achieve a better work-life balance. Most recently he published ‘Achieving Balance’ which is all about making time to achieve business and personal goals in an overworked world. Dr. Perry shares advice on how to really achieve a better work-life balance and mythics around it. He is also open to all things time-management and productivity.
