It was a great pleasure to have Roger Thompson on this episode with me.  He is my former Pastor and offers sage counsel to those seeking to discover their gifts, God's calling for their lives and to walk intentionally to please their creator.  Roger, a pastor's kid, found his purpose in witnessing life transformations at church camp, and decided to further his biblical knowledge and worldview in seminary. He was then asked to lead a junior high group at his growing small church and eventually becoming the pastor of the church's third congregation, despite being hesitant and feeling unprepared. With encouragement from his wife and a community of mentors, he accepted the call to step into this leadership role.   Doing so led to a fruitful ministry as senior pastor and discovery of his gifts in communication in the pulpit as well as 1:1 in counseling.  Also gifting in writing he is known as a "wordsmith". So it's no surprise that Roger authored the book, Do The Next Right Thing.   For more information on the book and the accompanying bible study and video series visit the Do the Next Right Thing Today webpage.More about Roger-Roger Thompson is committed to serving pastors and leaders in the communities surrounding Apple Valley. As a trained Man in the Mirror expert in men's discipleship, Roger guides pastors and leaders through a comprehensive strategy to reach and disciple all of their men because every man discipled impacts a marriage, family, workplace and community. Discipleship changes everything!Roger Thompson lives in Apple Valley (Minneapolis), MN and serves as the Area Director for the Twin Cities South Coalition for Men's Discipleship.  He was born in Winona Lake, Indiana and grew up in Colorado. After graduating, from Westmont College, and later from Denver Seminary, Roger served as a pastor for forty years. Roger is a speaker for Family Life's “Weekends to Remember” and has recently authored a book entitled Do the Next Right Thing. Roger enjoys long tandem bike rides with his “stoker”/wife and they have two married daughters with raucous houses full of grandchildren for whom he makes furniture and toys. A marriage metaphor from the tandem: when you pedal in harmony there is twice the power with half the wind resistance. If you are not cooperating there is half the power and twice the resistance!If you would like Roger to speak at an event or a retreat, please contact him at rogerthompson@maninthemirror.orgSupport the show

Dan Navarra of National Christian Foundation shares how he transitioned from full time pastoral ministry into an adjacent career that he loves. It wasn't a quick change from one to another but rather involved deep introspection, time with God and seeking out trusted mentors for guidance. There were also various pivots which included committing to a storefront lease for his wife's business during  Covid. Their plan assumed it would take "two weeks to flatten the curve" and they would be opened not too long after that. About a year later they finally were able to open and out of the blue received an offer to purchase the business. Did I mention his full-time employment ended a few months before this? Dan was pivoting in various ways through this whole period but in the end, he landed a job that he now truly loves, allows him to serve God as well as have the family time that was so scarce with his previous career. It's an inspiring to hear Dan's journey, the deep lessons he learned and the process he used to transition successfully.   Sometimes it takes change being thrust on us for us to take the leap. That was surely the case here as it has been for many the past few years. Dan can be reached at dnavarra@ncfgiving.comWatch Video VersionSupport the show

This episode was great for me! I've been playing guitar since the 5th grade. It's been more of a hobby and something I have dreamt about doing professionally but it wasn't on my path. I track lots of guitarists and about 8 years ago I came across Steffen. I was blown away by his style, technical ability and composition. There was something very unique and fresh to his music. Shortly after staring Titans of Transition I made a list of people I would love to interview. Steffen was on the list but it took me months before I worked up the courage to ask him. I thought it was a long shot. After all I am quite far away he is in Denmark and I am in the USA. Also I am quite a few years his senior. He graciously accepted.  Thanks Steff!As with all my episodes, I explore Steffen's career and life transitions, from his classical training on violin, cello and piano leading up to his discovery of guitar. He went all in on music and left Gymnasium (High School) to devote more time to his passion and gift-music.Unlike other interviews, I have to admit I geek out a bit with him on guitars, guitar tone and music. Through it all we had a great conversation about transitions, life, music and lessons we have learned along our respective journeys. - Joe MillerThe video version is available HERESteffen's Contact Information:Website  Youtube channel Instagram Facebook Twitter Steffen Schackinger was born right in the centre of Denmark - in the capital of the island Fyn - Odense. He started out on the violin as a kid, and moved on to cello and classical piano. With the classical and electric guitar he finally found his right instrument. At the age of 13 he started out as a band guitarist, and he soon earned a reputation, as an extraordinary guitarist.Steffen completed his education as a rhythmic guitarist at The Carl Nielsen Academy of Music, and the self-released cd with the band GRACELANDS - where Steffen sang the lead vocal and played guitar - got major airplay on the Danish radio stations with the songs "Electrified", "Climbing Into Space" and "Supersonic View".Steffen has been recording countless of records as a session musician, along with being a theatre musician on several occasions.

Michael returns to the show to update Joe on his latest transition back to the studio to record his first album in more than 20 years. In this new work, “A View From Here”, he continues to combine his compositional and piano artistry to inform powerful scenes he has observed in nature. These Tableaus , as he calls them, can be viewed from the physical or spiritual perspectives. The later provides powerful life lessons and helps us to navigate our journey and transitions. One example of this is “Stepping Stones", that draws from his memories of trips to The Lake District in the United Kingdom with his students. In this beautiful area you can find many places where hand hewn stones have been placed in the bubbling rivers and streams to allow for a safe crossing. In some cases these stone crossing have been in place for hundreds of years. As in life, these stepping stones provide for safe passage but there are times following heavy rains where they are submerged well under water. Crossing during these times can be risky. This is a powerful metaphor for life's journey for most of us. At times our safe path is obstructed or caries great risk and we have to find another way around. About Michael Raised in Evergreen, Colorado, Michael Gettel began pursuing his musical interests on piano and trumpet at an early age. He graduated with honors through the School of Music from The University of Northern Colorado, and later became a Klingenstein Fellow at Columbia University in New York City. Michael began his music teaching career in 1981 at The Kent Denver School, and then relocated to Seattle to continue teaching at The Bush School, and to launch his now celebrated recording career. ‘San Juan Suite', Michael's first recording, quickly received international acclaim, and is considered by many reviewers and ‘best-of lists', as one of the finest solo piano recordings of its genre. A Gold Record recipient, he has 12 international releases, most of them inspired by nature and specific regions, such as the Southwest (‘Skywatching'), the Pacific Northwest(‘San Juan Suite I and II'), and The United Kingdom(‘The Journey North'). Michael's work has been used extensively in network programming and film.

Joe is joined by Payne Schoen, CPA and founder of Payne Schoen Consulting. Payne helps high achievers and senior leaders create environments conducive to their individual and teams success. He works with his clients in a 1-on-1 coaching relationship to raise their level of awareness by thinking deeper into their challenges, limiting beliefs, and opportunities. During the course of this interview it is clear why Payne is focused in this area. Payne shares several stories which underscore how he and we can doubt ourselves and how these doubts are based on inaccurate and habitual thinking. In our careers we can often feel like imposters and any successes we have along the we tend to discount. In his recent live coaching session with the John C. Maxwell Team Faculty on stage at the International Maxwell Certification event in Orlando, faculty member Valorie Burton stated, " Your doubts are not the product of accurate thinking, but habitual thinking". During this interview we discuss how we can come to believe that if the work we do isn't hard and we don't put in an enormous level of effort it can't be valuable. We completely discount the importance of the end results an focus on the effort or the activity itself. Another point that came out is that when we operate in the area of our natural gifting and abilities positive results come more easily. This is often a good way to determine if one is in the right role, or the best position. Operating in your natural strength is of huge importance to success in career and life. It applies in all areas. Payne and I discuss his journey playing football in high school and college which also illustrates this point powerfully. There are powerful lessons here for navigating change, enjoy!

Dean Tracy, Executive Career Coach and Recruiter joins Joe to discuss his transitions and and two of his key passions. First, helping others find their life's work, and a great job. And second, with his wife Denise running Tracy Acres Equine Sanctuary where they rescue, care for and provide their forever home. Dean and I first met at Community Presbyterian Church (CPC) in Danville, California where we both served as part of the Sunday Morning Worship Team Band. Dean redefined the Job Connections Outreach Program at CPC which is designed to assist executives in transition. Under Dean's leadership, with more than 3,600 participants and approximately 65 volunteers, this program has grown to become one of the largest and most reputable professional groups in the Greater Bay Area. His personality and enthusiasm in leading this ministry has inspired hundreds in the midst of their career transitions. Dean and his Leadership Team were recognized by the Town of Danville with an “Award of Merit” for the great contribution that this program has had on the Local Community, and in October of 2010, Job Connections was featured on “60 Minutes with Scott Pelley.” Dean resigned his Leadership role from Job Connections in December 2012. In this episode, Dean shares many lessons but one which applies to both of his passion areas is - trust. Whether it's leading people or working with horses weighing over two thousand pounds and standing nine feet tall, gaining trust is paramount! Although you won't hear Dean talk about this much he is a "Grand-Nephew" of the late actor Spencer Tracy. http://www.deantracy.com/ https://www.tracyacres.org/abouthttp://www.deantracy.com/Prefer Video? https://titanspod.com/tracy-vf1Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/titansot)

In this episode they share two periods of life transition they navigated together that provide powerful lessons for anyone anticipating or in the midst of a change.

Now they are working together on a shared mission. In their own words "We do what we do because we believe every person, couple, and organization desires to walk in abundance, greater significance and fullness, but somewhere in their journey from here to there they find themselves stuck. That's why we exist!" This is a powerful interview - their energy and passion for their mission and each other is fully on display. It's encouraging and hopefully infectious!

During one of their transitions Julie, who knew her "why" clearly asks Greg a question that helped him gain clarity and identify his "why". It's a great question to ask yourself if you are moving into a time of change or transition.

Highlight from interview with Omozua Isiramen, Executive Life Coach, High-Performance Brain Trainer and Neuro Agility Expert. "Yeah, because people like to change and fix. And in my work, I like to say you are absolutely okay. The way you are, because the way you are is the way you have wound up. Due to where you've grown up, how you've been educated, your experience. There is nothing wrong with that. We cannot go ahead into the future thinking I'm not enough. I'm not good enough because what are the criteria by which you're measuring them all of that? Well, when you transform it is be able to identify what you truly bring to the team. And to understand from an emotional agility point, there are things that have served their purpose. When I cried, when my mom died four years later, that drain that bleeding heart, I felt I could release it. It served its purpose and to transform, that is what we need to realize. We need to let go of the things that have served them. You don't need to change anything because what happened, happened." https://www.omozua.com/ http://www.systemicneuroscience.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/omozuaisiramen/Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/titansot)
