In this episode of Changing Culture, I look at how Ellen Degeneres has changed her brand, how Converse is changing marketing, and how Martin Luther King changed the world. And they did it the same way.

I am firing up the Changing Culture podcast again. I’ve determined that I have to be better about blogging, writing, and communicating in the coming year, so I’ve returned to putting together a podcast.

In this podcast, I take a look at Taylor Swift’s “Swiftmas” and convert that into a discussion about Random Acts of Gifting, or “RAG”-ing. I also describe two different studies that look at the outcomes of subsidized health insurance, specifically physical outcomes, mental outcomes and financial outcomes.

For both, I describe how churches and organizations can leverage both of these events to bring change to culture.

Leadership has been defined by some as the ability to influence others. If that is true, then what is the source of that influence? Where does leadership come from? In this Changing Culture Podcast, I discuss this and its impact on change within an organization, community, and culture.
