Gina Gardiner & Friends with Michael Brooke on The Power of Reflection Part 1
Meet Michael Brooke Born in Leeds, England, Michael Brooke moved to Canada in 1972 and took his first skateboard ride three years later and never really stopped. Over the next four decades, he built platforms across publishing, music, Xerox, television, nonprofit work, and systems thinking. In 1999, his book The Concrete Wave sold more than 42,000 copies and helped revive global interest in skateboarding history and longboarding culture. That work later led to Concrete Wave Magazine, which reached more than 100,000 readers worldwide and became one of the most recognized voices in the longboarding movement. In 2012, Michael founded Longboarding for Peace, using skateboarding to support reconciliation projects, blood drives, youth outreach, and awareness campaigns around wrongful convictions. Through partnerships and donations, the initiative distributed more than $300,000 worth of skateboarding equipment globally while helping connect young people through creativity, movement, and community. After selling his publishing business in 2018, Michael spent five years working in funeral services. The experience changed him deeply. Again and again, he encountered the same quiet truth: most regret does not come from lack of talent, but from drift, delay, disconnection, and living out of alignment with who we really are. That realization sent him into a deeper exploration of systems, judgment, human behavior, and the invisible patterns shaping people’s lives and organizations. Those years of research and reflection eventually led to the creation of The Inside Atlas and BridgeWave Magazine. These projects are designed to help people better understand themselves, each other, and the systems influencing their decisions, relationships, and sense of meaning. Today, Michael’s work sits at the intersection of systems thinking, communication, human potential, and practical wisdom. Across every chapter of his life, from skateboarding, publishing, nonprofit work, death care, and systems design, the through-line has remained remarkably consistent: helping human potential not get quietly lost. https://bridgewavemagazine.com https://theinsideatlas.com

Gina Gardiner & Friends with Kurt Love on Successful Leaders Take Care of Their Team
Dr. Kurt Love Bio: Dr. Kurt Love is an educator, management consultant, and the founder of Aina Consulting. As the creator of the Humancentric Leadership Model (HLM) and the Community Thriving Spectrum, he helps organizations move past basic compliance into true human thriving. His data-driven systemic approach transforms workplace culture, proving that employee well-being is a paramount condition (and least understood) drives financial success. Dr. Love's philosophy is inspired by the Hawaiian concept of ʻĀina, treating organizations as living ecosystems that must nourish their people. He targets the "grey space," the undocumented area where common leadership perception gaps tend to miss deep burnout, digital exhaustion, and toxic behaviors like workplace bullying. Dr. Love recently applied this framework by leading a diversity community study for Kittery, Maine, and conducting community reviews for five school districts across Massachusetts. Central to Dr. Love's work is helping businesses leverage their Employee Net Promoter Score as a major profit strategy. By replacing guesswork with real-time data, his six-stage leadership system captures a clear Thriving ROI. Engaged teams achieve higher profitability and greater productivity, while thriving employees are more likely to be high performers. His strategies eliminate the costly "quiet cracking" that drives up sick days, saving companies up to 200 percent of an employee's salary in avoided turnover costs. Furthermore, building a safe environment sparks a jump in innovation, while a stable team increases client trust and boosts sales conversions. The most important goal, though, is creating thriving workplace that bolster workers, rather than grinding them down...because adulthood is long and continuously demanding. In addition to his consulting practice, Kurt holds a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Connecticut. An Associate Professor at Central Connecticut State University since 2008, he teaches courses on sustainability, policy, and leadership. Kurt also serves as an elected member of the Ashford Board of Education. Links: http://www.ainathrive.org
