EP #228 THE EMOTIONAL SOURCE CODE - DOV BARON
Dov Baron is the founder and CEO of Dov Baron International. He is a preeminent expert in helping leaders create life-and-work meaning. His models and strategies of the Emotional Source Code and the Anatomy of Meaning are used by leaders in business and government worldwide.
Dov has been named a Top 30 Global Leadership Guru five times and an Inc. Magazine Top Leadership Speaker twice.
He is the creator and host of two popular podcasts, “Leadership & Loyalty, which has been named the #1 podcast for Fortune 500 Executives by Apple podcasts, and "Curiosity Bites,” which has featured hundreds of hours of interviews with top leaders, scientists, theologians, military intelligence officers, and artists.
He has written for or been interviewed by many media outlets, including CEO World, CNN, Elle Italia, Entrepreneur, and FOX.
He is the author of several books, including "One Red Thread: How to Find the Purpose Already Woven Into Your Life,” and "Fiercely Loyal: How High Performing Companies Develop and Retain Top Talent.” Both were bestsellers on Amazon.
As a speaker, Dov has presented to the United Nations, the Department of State, the World Management Forum, the Servant Leadership Institute, The World Management Forum in Iran, and the United States Air Force. Dov is also the co-founder of The Authentic Speaker Academy for Leadership — where he teaches leaders how to use ethical persuasion skills to impact and influence change makers.
The search for meaning has been an obsession of Dov’s from his earliest days. He was born in Northern England in abject poverty, surrounded by crime, violence, and addiction, and knew there must be more to life than suffering and abuse. After pulling himself out of this destructive environment to travel and study with some of the world’s great thinkers and doers, he later owned and ran companies on three continents.
Then, while free climbing a mountain in British Columbia in 1990, he fell from the rock face at approximately 120 feet high (equivalent to falling from an 11-story skyscraper) and broke dozens of bones, including every bone in his face. After 10 reconstructive surgeries (and two instances when he was brought back from the dead), Dov restarted his life . . . .
We invite you to get curious and get to know your own and your organization's Emotional Source Code because when you “Control The Meaning of the Tribe, You Control the Movement of That Tribe.” Because Unified Actualized Meaning is The Single Monolithic Difference Between Mediocrity and Greatness for all Individuals and Companies!

EP #227 WATER IS THE FUTURE - RIGGS ECKELBERRY FOUNDER & CEO OF ORIGINCLEAR
THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST
PRESENTS
Chief Executive Officer
Chairman of the Board
Long a disruptive tech marketer and executive, Riggs Eckelberry became involved in the early “green” space when he co-founded the company that eventually became OriginClear, taking it public in 2008. Beginning in 2014, he and his team developed a series of transformative businesses which OriginClear manages in its role as the Clean Water Innovation Hub™.
“Big Water” is changing fast. Growing water supply problems make it clear: we can no longer rely on government and multinational corporations to take care of our water needs. So increasingly, local industry and large-scale communities are taking responsibility for the water they use. But they need compact on-site systems, water expertise, and a way to pay for all this. OriginClear’s mission is to serve this fast-growing new audience with a series of revolutionary offerings to bring about clean, abundant water everywhere.
Riggs came to the water industry from a quarter century in high technology, specializing in commercializing breakthrough technologies. During the dotcom, he worked on a series of tech successes, such as Quarterdeck’s CleanSweep, security software vendor Panda Software, and the sale of companies to EarthWeb, BeFree, and BellSouth. Just prior to founding what is now OriginClear, he helped drive security software company CyberDefender to an IPO on the NASDAQ as its President and Chief Operating Officer.
The son of an international businessman, Eckelberry learned management in the nonprofit space and as a commercial ship captain and officer. He enjoys skiing and sailing, and enabling the water industry to respond to the fast-changing conditions of our time.

EP #226 THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS - MIKE YAGLEY - VP OF INNOVATION/ AI - PUMA GOLF
THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST PRESENTS
MIKE YAGLEY has worked on several programs including: the Patriot ATM warhead, the AMRAAM missile warhead, the CATFAE mine clearing projectile, and armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding-sabot (APFSDS) projectiles. I learned a tremendous amount of information about very high speed impacts and supersonic aerodynamics.
My Masters research thesis at Iowa State was a continuation of work started at Chamberlain on unsteady spin rates of APFSDS projectiles in supersonic flow. I utilized a Mach 4 supersonic wind tunnel for empirical studies.
After graduate school I joined the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group working on the high speed civil transport, the next generation Concorde, designed to fly 300 passengers at Mach 2.9. I worked in the low speed, high lift aerodynamic group designing and analyzing wing slats, flaps and vortex fences.
I also worked in the 737 and 757 aerodynamic sales and production support group. In that role I was fortunate to have been assigned to a project commissioned to safely fly the first commercial airliner into the world’s highest operating airport in Bangda, China. I flew in the jump seat of a 757 as we approached the 14,219 ft. altitude airport situated in a valley between 20,000 ft peaks.
I made the switch from airplanes to golf in 1994. I started out at Maxfli Golf testing golf balls in South Carolina and then I joined Callaway golf as one of the first members of the R&D group assigned to make the world’s best golf ball. Over the next 13 years I progressed from being the Testing Engineer, to leading R&D, to being the Vice President of the Golf Ball business category.
I am now the VP of Innovation / AI at Cobra PUMA Golf and my team is responsible for innovating constructions, material applications, aerodynamics, and player experiences of Cobra Golf clubs from drivers through putters that deliver better performance, improved feel or whatever is missing in the golfer’s experience. Our company internal motto is to make “cool stuff that works”.
