92,000. That is the number of hours the average person spends at work during a lifetime. And our constant connectivity to our work means that number is growing. That is an enormous slice of life to spend in offices and job sites, away from friends and family. That is an enormous number of hours to sell and never get back. But what if those 92,000 hours were full of meaning, passion and purpose? What if we stop talking about work/life balance and start thinking about all of it as…life? How do we construct a working world that values and accommodates our humanity? How do we construct a life that is not separate from, but fueled by, the purpose we find in our work? In this podcast, we will explore those questions, and more. We will talk about life lessons and what happens when we bring our whole selves to our work, school, or community. Will we grow as individuals? As organizations? Together, we hope to explore our interest in cultivating meaning and purpose, and making sure those 92,000 hours are spent well, rather than simply spent.

This week we are speaking with Dr. John Littlewolf about compassion.
Annalisa and John discuss compassion at work and in our communities. John is a law enforcement officer focused in Native and First Nation communities. We discuss how compassion is needed in law enforcement, collective trauma, and how recent conversations of defunding the police and police brutality tie into this.
John grew up on the Leech Lake Indian Reservation and is an enrolled member of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa. He is a law enforcement officer, and during his career his duties have included Patrol Officer, Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Investigator, and Criminal Investigator. He was recently appointed to the Minnesota Attorney General’s Conviction Review Advisory Board. His education includes a B.S. in Criminal Justice, a M.S. in Public Safety Executive Leadership, and a Ph.D. in Leadership and Change. He focused on law enforcement culture and trauma during his doctoral studies. He has always been an advocate for his Indigenous community, and among other things, he serves as a Board Member for the American Indian Family Center in Saint Paul.
